How Green
City Parks May Be Bad for the Environment
But according to new research, green parks in dry climates -- which bring thick carbon-capturing grass to regions normally populated by sparse native vegetation -- may actually increase the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere.
"The greenhouse gases produced by maintaining the park are the problem," reports Amy Townsend-Small, an earth scientist at the University of California, Irvine. Her research suggests that parks in arid cities, as they are currently managed and landscaped, are not as "green" as they look.
Her measurements of soil carbon and the air above the park's turf in Irvine showed that grass itself captures a fair amount of CO2 and emits only a tiny amount of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas that soil bacteria create while digesting fertilizer.
But when Townsend-Small included estimates about how much energy and fuel was required to manage the land -- and the pollution produced by equipment such as lawn mowers and leaf blowers -- she calculated the resulting carbon footprint created from landscaping maintenance to be 10 times the amount of carbon that the park's green area could absorb.
Just watering the grass alone produced enough carbon to override any potential reduction in the gas that the lawn might produce.
The numbers were even worse for the park's athletic fields, where turf is continually torn up and replanted before it can store significant amounts of carbon.
Published in the Jan. 22 issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters, the research suggests that parks in arid cities, as currently managed, should not count as carbon credits.

Isogeometric collocation for implicit dynamics of three-dimensional beams undergoing finite motions
Journal article, Peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
Original versionComputer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering. 2019, 356 548-570. 10.1016/j.cma.2019.07.013
We propose a novel approach to the implicit dynamics of shear-deformable geometrically exact beams, based on the isogeometric collocation method combined with the Newmark time integration scheme extended to the rotation group SO(3). The proposed formulation is fully consistent with the underlying geometric structure of the configuration manifold. The method is highly efficient, stable, and does not suffer from any singularity problem due to the (material) incremental rotation vector employed to describe the evolution of finite rotations. Consistent linearization of the governing equations, variables initialization and update procedures are the most critical issues which are discussed in detail in the paper. Numerical applications involving very large motions and different boundary conditions demonstrate the capabilities of the method and reveal the critical role that the high-order approximation in space may have in improving the accuracy of the solution.

Responsibilities of a Nursing Assistant for a Diabetic Patient
Growth Trends for Related Jobs
Nursing assistants work under the supervision of registered nurses and are often the person who is most involved in the day-to-day care of the patient. A nursing assistant may have contact with the diabetic patient in a clinic, in the community, or in a hospital. Much of his role involves monitoring the patient's condition, and helping her to manage it as effectively as possible. The nursing assistant can play a crucial part in helping the person with diabetes to maximize her quality of life.
The nursing assistant together with the RN helps educate and inform the patient about effective diet management. Diet, particularly carbohydrate control, is central to diabetes. Many diabetic patients struggle with this aspect of their condition. Some patients may instinctively reject some of this advice. The nursing assistant can often form a trusting relationship with the patient, where such issues can be discussed in a constructive way.
The nursing assistant monitors all aspects of the diabetic patient's care. She may carry out routine urinalysis, record the results, and immediately report any abnormailitie. The nursing assistant often carries out blood glucose monitoring and reports and records the results. Any changes in the patient's level of consciousness, or behavior will also be noted and reported by the care assistant. Some nursing assistants are trained to assist with insulin pump therapy.
The nursing assistant should be trained to recognize complications and to act immediately, informing the nurse in charge or the physician. The obvious acute complications occur when there is an imbalance between the glucose and insulin levels. Good care can help the patient avoid some of these complication. The nursing assistant should help the patient with hygiene needs, ensuring that he regularly attends the podiatry clinic and has regular eye tests.

Working Paper, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta 2006-27
Over the past years, several countries around the world have adopted a system of prudential prompt corrective action (PCA). The European Union countries are being encouraged to adopt PCA by policy analysts who explicitly call for its adoption. To date, most of the discussion on PCA has focused on its overall merits. This paper focuses on the preconditions needed for the adoption of an effective PCA. These preconditions include conceptual elements such as a prudential supervisory focus on minimizing deposit insurance losses and mandating supervisory action as capital declines. These preconditions also include institutional aspects such as greater supervisory independence and authority, more effective resolution mechanisms, and better methods of measuring capital.

The Content Collection in Learn
Behind every course on Learn, there's an area hidden from students called the Content Collection. The main idea Learn is built around is that you:
(1) Upload documents to the Content Collection
(2) Link to these documents from the part of Learn that your students see
This applies to PDFs, Word docx files, PowerPoint pptx files – just about all of the files most lecturers need to upload to Learn.
This separation between the Content Collection on the one hand, and the visible pages that students see on the other, is unfortunately not immediately obvious due to the idiosyncratic way in which Learn was designed.
If you'd like to know more about this, we've written a quick explainer here:
Why should I care about this?
1. Keeping your section of the Content Collection tidy makes your Learn pages easier to manage
For example, imagine you want the same document to appear on several Learn pages.
You can upload the document once to the Content Collection, and then link to it from the pages where you want it to appear. This is better than having lots of identical files called:
- Worksheet(2).pdf (etc.)
2. Uploading files to Learn one-by-one is a pain
By dealing with the Content Collection directly, you can upload files in bulk. This can be a massive time-saver.
There are two ways to do this:
(a) Use Learn's Upload Multiple Files tool
You can drag and drop multiple files into Learn using the steps described here:
(b) Set up a Web Folder
You can have a folder on your computer which is in sync with the folders that you deal with in the Content Collection.

Why Study Latin at the Donahue Academy?
The Donahue Academy requires the study of Latin in grades 7,8,9, and 10 because:
60% of English words are derived from Latin and 90% of English words consisting of more than two syllables come from Latin.
Assists in the development of excellent grammatical, writing and reading skills.
Assists in the development of the brain and its discipline, structure and abstraction.
Assists in acquisition of the many Romance languages which have come from it.
Improves the knowledge of ancient histories and cultures and allows direct access to key documents of the western world.
High school students learning Latin have consistently earned better SAT scores than their peers studying other foreign languages, and similar trends have been documented for the ACT, too.
Students of Latin earn higher college GPA's.
Helps students stand out and impress college admissions officers.
When asked what he thinks when he sees Latin on a high school transcript, Michael C. Behnke, Vice President for Enrollment at University of Chicago, said, "This student is likely to be disciplined, have a strong basis for further learning, [and] be a little more creative toward intellectual pursuits than most."
Donahue students typically score about two hundred points above the local and national norms on the SAT. Class of 2018 Average is 1250.Share:

I have a figure in my paper (I am using IEEEtran package). After this figure there exists a space between the figure and the text. How can I reduce the size of this white space. To be specific the space is between the caption of the figure and the text of my paper. Any suggestions?
share|improve this question
3 Answers 3
This depends on the location of the float - if the float is at the top of the page, the gap between the caption and the text is \textfloatsep, while the gap for a float in the middle of the page is given by \intextsep.
From the layouts package documentation it is possible to see the lengths in terms of page/document float elements (p 21 onward):
enter image description here
Default for ieeetran are
 - \textfloatsep: 1.7\baselineskip plus 0.2\baselineskip minus 0.5\baselineskip
 - \intextsep: \baselineskip plus 0.2\baselineskip minus 0.2\baselineskip
and therefore depends on the choice of the default font (since that sets \baselineskip). The default pt-form is therefore
 - \textfloatsep: 20.4pt plus 2.4pt minus 4.8pt
 - \intextsep: 12.0pt plus 2.4pt minus 2.4pt
in the 10pt font size. The above includes some stretch/shrink. You can modify them using \setlength. For example,
\setlength{\textfloatsep}{\baselineskip plus 0.2\baselineskip minus 0.2\baselineskip}
would allow for between (roughly) 10pt and 15pt gap between the float and the text. Something like
would fix the distance to 5pt (without stretch/shrink).

I'm having a huge space between the end of a paragraph and the beginning of the next one, I don't know the reason, I'm using IEEE trans template – Tak Jul 30 '13 at 3:42
_USER_: What do you have around these paragraphs? What float specifiers do you use for any floats around it? – Werner Jul 30 '13 at 3:52
I have a float after the end of the paragraph \begin{figure}[t] \begin{figure}[t] \centering { \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture] \node[mynode] (image2) {\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{avghist}}; \end{tikzpicture}} \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay] \end{tikzpicture} \caption{} \label{} \end{figure} \begin{figure*}[pht] {\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{squash3}}\caption{AA} \label{} \end{figure*} \begin{table*}[pht] \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{@{}>{\hsize=0.8\hsize}X 2{>{\hsize=1.1\hsize}X}@{}} \toprule \bottomrule \end{tabularx} \caption{AAA} \label{} \end{table} – Tak Jul 30 '13 at 3:58

I have two figures then a table – Tak Jul 30 '13 at 4:20
If you do not want to modify the standard template and just want a quick fix for this, you may add the following command to your document preamble:
Then, you can use the command \squeezeup throughout your document for reducing the free space after/before figures, formulas, etc., as needed.

You can use etoolbox package. Just set a \vskip with a negative value at the start (\BeforeBeginEnvironment or \AtBeginEnvironment) and at the end (\AfterEndEnvironment) of the environment figure.

Both disposable and cloth training pants are better than diapers because children can remove them by themselves. However, there is nothing magical about switching your child from a diaper into training pants. Some parents think that just switching their child to training pants will result in a child who is toilet trained. Unfortunately, it's not that easy.
For children in daycare, disposable training pants present less of an infection control and sanitation problem than do cloth pants, which must be saved and handed over to the parent. Regardless of whether your child is in daycare or at home, training pants should be changed quickly after he has peed or pooped in them to avoid skin irritation or damage. Toddlers can get diaper rash just as easily as infants do if they aren't changed often enough.


How to Balance a Traditional Sewing line?
Today I will teach you how to do line balancing in the apparel manufacturing.
You know that a number of operations are involved in making a garment. In bulk garment production, generally a team works on an assembly line (Progressive Bundle system) and each operator does one operation and passes the garment another operator to do next operation. In this way garment reached to end of the line as a completed garment. In the assembly line after some time of the line setting, it is found that at some places in the line, work is started to pile up and few operators sit idle due to unavailability of work.
When this situation happens in the line it is called an imbalanced line. Normally it happens due to two main reasons –
 - variation in work content (time needed to do an operation) in different operations
 - operator's performance level. To meet the production target, maintaining smooth workflow in the line is very important. So it is very important to know basics of quick line balancing.
How to balance an imbalanced line has been explained in the following.
The main job in line balancing is to eliminate or reduce WIP (work in process) at bottleneck operations. To do that you have to know which operations are a bottleneck in the line. Through capacity study and target setting, you will find existing bottlenecks in the line.
Tools required:
i) Stopwatch
ii) Spreadsheet or Calculator
Step 1: Capacity study:
List down all operations (with operator name) as per operation sequence in a paper. Using stopwatch cycle time (time study) for each operation for five consecutive cycles. With average cycle time calculate the hourly capacity of the operators. (i.e. operation cycle time 30 seconds and total allowances are 20% then capacity is 100 pieces per hour). Draw a line graph with per hour capacity data.
Step 2: Target setting:
With the above capacity data set your target output per hour from one line. Normally, it is calculated using following formula (Target per hour= Total no of operators X 60 /garment SAM). Check current hourly operator production report. Draw a straight line with target output data on the line graph.
Step 3: Identification of bottleneck areas:
Now go to the capacity study table and compare each operator's capacity with the target capacity. Each individual operator whose capacity is less than the target output is bottleneck operation for the line. It is impossible to improve imbalanced line's output without improving the output of the bottleneck operations. A bottleneck operation is like a weak link chain.
Step 4: Eliminate bottlenecks from the line: Now to eliminate bottleneck areas use following methods which suit best to your situation but don't jump without trying initial steps.
 1. Club operations where possible. Where there is higher capacity than the target output, give that operator another operation with less work content. Considering machine type and sewing thread colors.
 2. Shuffle operators. Operations that have low work content use low performer there. And where work content is higher use high performers.
 3. Reduce cycle time using work aids and attachments. To assist the operator in handling parts during sewing, positioning cutting and disposing of the finished task, work aids, guides or attachment can be used. Think of that if possible provide the operator work-aids. It will reduce operation cycle time.
 4. Improve workstation layout and improve methods. Most important area for improving output from a particular operation is using best workstation layout and best method of work. There is always a chance that through improving the method of bottleneck operations you can do line balancing.
 5. Add more operators to bottleneck operations. Adding one additional machine in the easy task than others. Before adding one more machine compare the cost-benefits of putting an additional machine into the line. It can be simplified compared to estimating machine productivity in both cases.
 6. Do extra work at bottleneck operations. At lunch break and Tea break when each operator of the line goes for a break, bottleneck operator can continue work to feed next to his operator. Later he can take the break. At the end of the day tell this operator to work for one hour extra to reduce the WIP.
Important things to keep in mind:
Conduct Time Study hourly basis and check the output of each operator. Once you have eliminated one bottleneck, you will find a new bottleneck operation. Follow the same methodology to improve line balancing.

P² quantile estimator rounding issue
Update: the estimator accuracy could be improved using a bunch of patches.
The P² quantile estimator is a sequential estimator that uses \(O(1)\) memory. Thus, for the given sequence of numbers, it allows estimating quantiles without storing values. I already wrote a blog post about this approach and added its implementation in perfolizer. Recently, I got a bug report that revealed a flaw of the original paper. In this post, I'm going to briefly discuss this issue and the corresponding fix.
Introduction
I already described the P² quantile estimator algorithm in one of the previous blog posts. This approach includes maintaining of five markers \(\{ n'_0, n'_1, n'_2, n'_3, n'_4 \}\). If the considered sequence currently contains exactly \(n\) elements, the marker values are defined as follows:
 - \(n'_0 = 0\)
 - \(n'_1 = (n - 1) p / 2\)
 - \(n'_2 = (n - 1) p\)
 - \(n'_3 = (n - 1) (1 + p) / 2\)
 - \(n'_4 = (n - 1)\)
After adding another element in the sequence, the marker values should be invalidated. The original paper suggests using the marker increments to "reduce CPU overhead":
 - \(dn'_0 = 0\)
 - \(dn'_1 = p / 2\)
 - \(dn'_2 = p\)
 - \(dn'_3 = (1 + p) / 2\)
 - \(dn'_4 = 1\)
@AnthonyLloyd has reported that such approach has rounding issues. Let's try to fix this problem and see how it affects the approach.

BEGINNINGS OF MODERN TOWN PLANNING IN THE KINGDOM OF HUNGARY: THE CASES OF BRATISLAVA AND NOVI SAD
Languages of publication
The principles of modern urban planning began to be applied in the Kingdom of Hungary in the second half of the 19th century. In most cases, the first regulation plans appeared around 1900, when these cities were experiencing dynamic growth. The ideas generated in the first plans for regulation and long-term development pre-determined the development of these cities and has determined their form until today. The study considers the principles and approaches applied in modern planning at the turn of the century. Using the example of two cities – Bratislava and Nový Sad – it analyses the key terms applied in expert discussion at the time, their use in territorial planning practice and the contribution of the notable Hungarian city planning expert Antal Palóczi to this discussion.

The following procedure walks you through the From Git option in the Developer perspective to create an application.
Procedure
 1. In the +Add view, click From Git to see the Import from git form.
 2. In the Git section, enter the Git repository URL for the codebase you want to use to create an application. For example, enter the URL of this sample Node.js application _URL_ The URL is then validated.
 3. Optional: You can click Show Advanced Git Options to add details such as:
 - Git Reference to point to code in a specific branch, tag, or commit to be used to build the application.
 - Context Dir to specify the subdirectory for the application source code you want to use to build the application.
 - Source Secret to create a Secret Name with credentials for pulling your source code from a private repository.
 4. In the Builder section, after the URL is validated, an appropriate builder image is detected, indicated by a star, and automatically selected. For the _URL_ Git URL, the Node.js builder image is selected by default. If a builder image is not auto-detected, select a builder image. If required, you can change the version using the Builder Image Version drop-down list.
 5. In the General section:
 1. In the Application field, enter a unique name for the application grouping, for example, myapp. Ensure that the application name is unique in a namespace.
 2. The Name field to identify the resources created for this application is automatically populated based on the Git repository URL if there are no existing applications. If there are existing applications, you can choose to deploy the component within an existing application, create a new application, or keep the component unassigned.
 The resource name must be unique in a namespace. Modify the resource name if you get an error.
 6. In the Resources section, select:
 - Deployment, to create an application in plain Kubernetes style.
 - Deployment Config, to create an OpenShift style application.
 - Knative Service, to create a microservice.
 The Knative Service option is displayed in the Import from git form only if the Serverless Operator is installed in your cluster. For further details refer to documentation on installing OpenShift Serverless.
 7. In the Pipelines section, select Add Pipeline, and then click Show Pipeline Visualization to see the pipeline for the application.
 8. In the Advanced Options section, the Create a route to the application is selected by default so that you can access your application using a publicly available URL. You can clear the check box if you do not want to expose your application on a public route.
 9. Optional: You can use the following advanced options to further customize your application:
 Routing
 Click the Routing link to:
 - Customize the hostname for the route.
 - Specify the path the router watches.
 - Select the target port for the traffic from the drop-down list.
 - Secure your route by selecting the Secure Route check box. Select the required TLS termination type and set a policy for insecure traffic from the respective drop-down lists.
 For serverless applications, the Knative Service manages all the routing options above. However, you can customize the target port for traffic, if required. If the target port is not specified, the default port of 8080 is used.
 Health Checks
 Click the Health Checks link to add Readiness, Liveness, and Startup probes to your application. All the probes have prepopulated default data; you can add the probes with the default data or customize it as required.
 To customize the health probes:
 - Click Add Readiness Probe, if required, modify the parameters to check if the container is ready to handle requests, and select the check mark to add the probe.
 - Click Add Liveness Probe, if required, modify the parameters to check if a container is still running, and select the check mark to add the probe.
 - Click Add Startup Probe, if required, modify the parameters to check if the application within the container has started, and select the check mark to add the probe.
 For each of the probes, you can specify the request type - HTTP GET, Container Command, or TCP Socket, from the drop-down list. The form changes as per the selected request type. You can then modify the default values for the other parameters, such as the success and failure thresholds for the probe, number of seconds before performing the first probe after the container starts, frequency of the probe, and the timeout value.
 Build Configuration and Deployment
 Click the Build Configuration and Deployment links to see the respective configuration options. Some options are selected by default; you can customize them further by adding the necessary triggers and environment variables.
 For serverless applications, the Deployment option is not displayed as the Knative configuration resource maintains the desired state for your deployment instead of a DeploymentConfig.
 Scaling

Framingham Railroad Station built is 1885 is an historic Boston and Albany Railroad station located in Framingham, Massachusetts. Designed by noted American architect H. H. Richardson, it was one of the last in his series of Northeastern United States railroad stations. Today, it has been converted into a Brazilian steakhouse, though much of the external structure remains intact. Additionally, a small building on the site has been converted into a bank ATM. Amtrak and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority use the nearby Framingham (MBTA station).
The station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.


AWS Lake Formation – How to Setup a Secure Data Lake
Everything You Need to Know About AWS Lake Formation
A data lake is a secure data repository (a single source) for all your enterprise data. It includes raw and transformed data like source system data, sensor data, and social data. This source data is further sub-categorized into structured, semi-structured, unstructured, and BLOB data.
 - Structured data is extracted from relational databases.
 - Semi-structured data includes CSV files, audit logs, as well as XML and JSON data.
 - Unstructured data comprises PDFs, emails, and documents.
 - BLOB data is made up of images and audio and video files.

The data in the data lake's raison d'etre is the requisite function and purpose it plays in tasks such as "reporting, visualization, advanced analytics, and machine learning." In other words, when added to the data lake, existing data silos are broken down and combined, allowing the use of different types of analytics with the outcomes used to gain insights and to guide improved business decisions.
 At this juncture, it is vital to note that a data swamp is a deteriorated and unmanaged data lake with security and governance issues. Therefore, it is an imperative to ensure your company data lake does not degenerate into a Data Swamp.
 How?
By answering this question, let's consider how to set up a secure data lake with AWS Lake Formation, set Lake Formation permissions for governance and simplified security management.
What is the AWS Lake Formation?
AWS Data Lake Formation is a service that simplifies and speeds up the process of setting up a secure data lake.
Here's an intro to AWS data lakes.
Under normal circumstances, setting up a lake is a time-consuming, manual process.
Why?
The intersection between Big Data and the data lake definition highlighted above is that both these entities have commonalities in their respective data types and volumes. Consequently, it is reasonable to conclude that these data volumes will take a long time to extract, transform, and load (ETL) into the lake.
Enter the AWS Lake Formation service.
How Does the AWS Lake Formation Work?
Lake Formation can be used to set the data access and security policies (more on AWS data lake best practices). Once this information has been entered into the Lake Formation service, the Lake Formation provides its own permissions model that augments the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permission model.
The salient point here is that most or all of this data is classifiable as sensitive data. Consequently, only qualified users must be allowed access to this data, and the information returned from the data manipulation and analysis procedures.
Thus, the question that begs is how are the permissions set using the AWS Lake Formation service?
Let's answer this question by considering the following scenario:
Note: The data set used is public domain or open data, more specifically the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) Trip Record Data, available on the AWS website.
Hence, it makes sense that you are a taxi company owner in New York City and would like to analyze the 2019 and 2020 data to determine the time of day (or night) when taxis are most in demand and least in demand. This includes external weather conditions, day of the week, and trip type. You aim to optimize your company's taxi services to streamline operations and reduce costs.
The last assumption that we must make is that all of this data is sensitive. It is your company's intellectual property; so, it is not a good idea that your competition gets hold of the data. It will give them a competitive edge over you and take many of your routes away from your company.
Let's pick up the story after the data has been loaded into the data lake using the Lake Formation Service.
The next important issue to deal with is user permissions and persona types. How are they implemented using the Lake Formation service?
As described above, one of the aims of this Formation service is "simplified security management." This translates into a three-tier permissions process that defines permissions right down to the database table and column level.
The beginning of the permissions process is to define individual personas. Let's define the data engineer, data analyst, and business manager.
AWS Lake Formation Two Types of Resources
 - Metadata is stored in a data dictionary known as the AWS Glue Catalog. Metadata is also known as data about data. In other words, it is information about the databases, tables, and columns that the data is housed in.
 - The physical data that is stored in the lake or the AWS S3 locations
In this scenario, the data engineer needs access to both the metadata and the data. Therefore, these permissions are administrator-type permissions. With these permissions, the data engineer also has the right to grant and revoke permissions to other users.
Secondly, the data analyst needs access to the data, not the AWS Glue Catalog. This is because the analyst's role is to use statistical analysis algorithms and formulae to turn the data into useful information.
Thirdly, the business manager does not need access at any data level, especially not to the metadata. The manager only needs access to the front end or the information visualization level. This information is required to make the requisite management decisions to streamline the company's business processes.
These permissions are created in the AWS console. Navigate to the AWS Console > IAM > Policies > Create Policy
Here is an example of the data engineer's policy creation
 1. DataEngineerLakeFormationPolicy
{
 "Version": "2020-10-01",
 "Statement": [
 {
 "Effect": "Allow",
 "Action": [
 "lakeformation:GetDataAccess",
 "lakeformation:GrantPermissions",
 "lakeformation:RevokePermissions",
 "lakeformation:BatchGrantPermissions",
 "lakeformation:BatchRevokePermissions",
 "lakeformation:ListPermissions" ],
 "Resource": "*"
 }
 ]
}
The data engineer's pass role is created as follows:
2. DataEngineerPassRole
{
 "Version": "2020-10-01",
 "Statement": [
 {
 "Sid": "PassRolePermissions",
 "Effect": "Allow",
 "Action": [
 "iam:PassRole"
 ],
 "Resource": [
 "arn:aws:iam::account-id:role/workflow_role"
 ]
 }
 ]
}
 1. The creation of a S3NycBucketRead is required because the New York CIty Taxi and Limousine Commission dataset (nyc-tlc) is not registered as a data location and explicit IAM permissions are required.
{
 "Version": "2020-10-01",
 "Statement": [
 {
 "Sid": "VisualEditor0",
 "Effect": "Allow",
 "Action": [
 "s3:GetObject",
 "s3:ListBucket"
 ],
 "Resource": [
 "arn:aws:s3:::nyc-tlc",
 "arn:aws:s3:::nyc-tlc/*"
 ]
 }
 ]
}
Once the policy has been created, the next step is to create the user that gets linked to these policies. In our scenario, the data engineer user must be created. Navigate to the AWS Console > IAM > Create User to achieve this goal.
Finally, let's assume that the data engineer's username is dataeng01. When creating this user ID, these policies must be linked to this user ID: DataEngineerLakeFormationPolicy, DataEngineerPassRole, and S3NycBucketRead.
 Final Thoughts
One of the Fourth Industrial Revolution's technological advancements is the role that Big Data is playing and will continue to play in the management decision-making processes across all sectors of society, from industry, retail, finance, and across the spectrum to government and non-government organizations.
Apart from the creation of the data lake and the ETL processes required to load the data into the lake, the most critical role that the AWS Lake Formation service plays is the creation and implementation of user roles and permissions to ensure that all the data stored in the lake is securely stored and governed according to the data owners' policies.

"Factory of Art" one of Adeje's youth successes
Adeje's Casa de la Juventud or Youth House is going from strength to strength with a wide range of events, including the popular Factory of Art and a writers' gallery.
Youth councillor Zebenzui Chinea Linares said more than 11,000 people used the centre during 2017, adding: "This is a very significant point for us because it shows that ad-venturous youth recognise the Casa de la Juventud and use it as a meeting point in which they receive different services that respond to their needs."
Of the 11,000 people, about 4,600 are women and more than 6,500 men. The age range that most visits the House is between 14 and 16 years old (4,948 people), followed by youth between 17 and 19 years old (2,718 people), third among those aged 20 to 25 (1507), followed by those of more than 30 (1,193 people) and finally the range of 26 to 30 (781 people). Parallel to the visits, there are more than 3,000 people participating in the different activities and programmes that are carried out throughout the year.
Regarding the projects that are developed by the council, there are those related to the formation, the entertainment and the quality of life. The highlight of last year was the "Recreate" information and training programme in which discussion tables are held, on different current issues, culture is encouraged and responds to their demands and questions. Under the umbrella of this programme, the "Young Talent" initiative was developed, a proposal that granted a set of economic scholarships to the best academic records for students of ESO and Bachillerato.
Among the actions carried out, by the council highlights the "Factory of Art", one activity in which different styles, artistic disciplines and cultural proposals for the juvenile population of the region are exhibited monthly. The "Dare" project also stands

These two words are often confused. Rein is related to horses. Reign is related to kings and queens.
So where does the confusion lie?
In a phrase like reining in – he reined in his activities because he was exhausted – reining in refers to holding the horse back, restricting its movement.
In a phrase like free rein – he was given free rein to organise the office as he wished – free rein refers to slackening off the horse's rein so that it can move more freely.
But confusion can arise when you consider that being given free reign could also refer to being free as the ruler to do what you want.
So consider whether you are talking about rein as in a horse-related metaphor or as in a king-related metaphor. There are places where either would be suitable, but there are definitely places when only the horse one makes sense!

Best ways to fix a white screen on Mac
Your Mac stuck on white screen and you desperately grab your phone to google solutions? As it mostly happens abruptly, you need to find the fast way to bring your Mac back to life. So, let's get down to work right away!
Why my Mac stuck on white screen?
Macs are reliable computers, but on the rare occasions they may encounter trouble and won't load. When this happens, you see a blank white screen, your Mac becomes pretty much unusable, and you keep asking yourself, "Why won't my MacBook turn on?"
Usually, this happens after updating your operating system to a new version, when dealing with incompatible drivers, or if some applications fail to upgrade. This results in a blank screen on Mac until some steps are taken to bring your computer back to its normal state.
How to fix the MacBook white screen
Before you do anything to solve the Mac frozen screen, try an easy fix: check your peripherals. Try to disconnect all of them (printers, scanners, USB devices, etc.) with the exception of the keyboard and mouse. Then reboot your Mac. If it boots up now, one of those peripherals is the source of the plain white screen problem. However, if it fails and your MacBook won't load, check out other possible ways to wake up your Mac.
1. Boot into safe mode
A safe boot feature in macOS and Mac OS X was designed for troubleshooting purposes. It allows to check the disk for all possible file system errors and if needed, a repair would be run. Starting your Mac in safe mode is the first thing you should do when your Mac won't turn on.
To start up in safe mode:
 1. Press the power button, then immediately press and hold the Shift key.
 2. When you see the Apple logo, release the Shift key.
Once you boot using safe mode, the very first thing is deleting cache files. A cache is a place where data is stored temporarily to help things load faster. But eventually, files in a cache become outdated and start to pile up on your Mac, resulting in a white screen problem. Here's a comprehensive guide "How to clear cache on a Mac."
After you've deleted the cache files, you should also remove recently installed applications. But note that dragging them to the Trash is not the right way to remove apps as it leaves behind tons of associated files on your Mac. But don't worry, there is a utility that will help you — CleanMyMac X. Its Uninstaller module is designed to uninstall apps completely, with no leftover parts and pieces behind.
Simply download the app (it's free to try), launch it, choose Uninstaller and select the app you want to delete. Click Uninstall and the application will be removed completely. As simple as that!
As you've removed all the clutter, restart as normal without pressing any keys during startup. Probably you won't see that MacBook white screen anymore.
PRAM/NVRAM is a small amount of memory that your Mac uses to store certain settings and access them quickly. These settings include sound volume, time zone, startup disk selection, and more. If you experience some issues related to these settings, resetting PRAM might fix your MacBook stuck on white screen.
Here's how to reset PRAM/NVRAM:
 1. Shut down your Mac.
 2. Immediately press these four keys together: Command+Option+P+R.
 3. Hold down the keys until you hear the startup sound.
 4. Release the keys.
When your Mac finishes starting up, you should go to System Preferences and adjust some settings that were reset, such as time zone, display resolution, etc.
3. Use Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
Disk Utility can fix several disk problems, including the white screen on Mac. That's why use it to your advantage if the above steps didn't work.
 1. Restart your Mac holding the Command and R keys.
 2. Release the keys when you see the Apple logo.
 3. Click Disk Utility and then click Continue.
 4. Choose the disk you want to repair.
 5. Click the First Aid button.
If Disk Utility says the disk is about to fail, there's nothing you can do — you have to replace it. If it reports that the disk has been repaired, you're done. You can click Show Details to get more information about the repairs.
4. Reinstall macOS
If all the approaches are failing and you still see that white screen on your Mac, you may need to reinstall your operating system. Don't worry, it won't affect your files, apps, user setting, etc. Only a fresh version of the macOS will be installed on your Mac again. Here's how to do that for macOS SierramacOS High SierramacOS MojavemacOS Catalina and macOS Big Sur
Note that sometimes the standard reinstall methods won't work due to the issues with the drive. In this case, you'll need to use the internet recovery to reinstall the operating system.
Follow these steps to reinstall macOS from the internet:
 1. Turn on or restart your Mac.
 2. Hold down the Command+Option+R keys until you see the Apple logo or a spinning globe.
 3. When startup is complete, you'll see the Utilities window.
 4. Choose Reinstall macOS and click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instruction to complete the process.
Once you've brought your Mac to life, make sure to do some maintenance to prevent such unpleasant issues in future. A utility we've mentioned above — CleanMyMac X — will help you keep your Mac in shape for years. Apart from cleaning your Mac from all the junk, it gives you access to all maintenance scripts that allow to quickly optimize the system performance and never worry about the health of your Mac.
With the solutions above, you'll fix the white screen problem on Mac, so that it can function as a new one. Cheers!

Take the following definition: "A parabolic subgroup of a linear algebraic group defined over $\mathbb{C}$ is a subgroup, closed in the Zariski topology, for which the quotient space is a projective algebraic variety."
My questions are:
(i) Why include closed in the definition?
(ii) What is an example of a projective algebraic variety that is the quotient of a linear algebraic group by a non-Zariski-closed subgroup?
(iii) What is an example of a quotient by a parabolic subgroup that is not a flag manifold?
(iv) Elliptic curves cannot be described as quotients of linear algebraic groups. What are other examples of families of varieties that cannot be expressed in this form?
share|improve this question
Apart from the topological motivation that for Hausdorff topological gp $G$ and subgp $H$ the quotient $G/H$ is Hausdorff precisely when $H$ is closed in $G$, perhaps (i) may sound better in view of the following fact: if $f:H \rightarrow G$ is a homomorphism between finite type group schemes over a field $k$ and $\ker f = 1$ in the scheme-theoretic sense (i.e., $f$ is injective on $R$-valued points for all $k$-algebras $R$, or $f$ is a functorial monomorphism) then $f$ is necessarily a closed immersion. Thus, (ii) is essentially meaningless in any reasonable algebro-geometric sense. – BCnrd May 30 '10 at 23:33

If $G={\mathbb C}$ is the additive group and $L\subset G$ is a lattice, then $L$ is not Zariski closed, $G/L$ exists (in a sense of analytic geometry) and is projective. But of course $L$ is not a parabolic subgroup of $G$.
share|improve this answer
Great illustration of importance of paying attention to terminology (here: meaning of "quotient")! – Victor Protsak May 31 '10 at 4:24
i)-ii) If the subgroup isn't closed, there's no reason in general for the quotient space to even be an algebraic variety. So for the definition to even make sense, there has to be some guarantee that $G/P$ is a variety. A standard result says that if $H \subset G$ is a closed subgroup of a linear algebraic group, then the quotient $G/H$ is a quasi-projective variety. You can find these results, for example, in Borel's text on linear algebraic groups. I don't know of an example of a non-closed subgroups whose quotient both exists and is not complete.
(iii) Pretty much by definition, $G/P$ is what's known as a partial flag variety. For the classical groups, you can directly verify that you get flag-like objects in this way, and for more general groups this is taken as the definition. However, if by flag variety you mean the full flag variety, then just pick any parabolic subgroup which is not a Borel subgroup. The simplest example occurs for $G = GL_3$ where you have parabolic subgroups corresponding the variety of lines in $\mathbb{C}^3$ (i.e., $\mathbb{P}^2$) and its dual, the variety of planes in $\mathbb{C}^3.$
(iv) I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for here. Just examples of varieties that aren't quotients of linear algebraic groups?
share|improve this answer
(iii) So all quotients of complex linear algebraic groups by subgroups containing the Borel subgroup are of the form $U(n)/U(k_1) \times \cdots \times U(k_m)$? When the quotient is by the Borel subgroup, is this reflected in some simplification of $U(k_1) \times \cdots \times U(k_m)$? (iv) Hopefully this is not too bad practice, but I'm going to generalise my last question and ask: What are examples (besides elliptic curves) of complex projective varieties that aren't quotients of comapct semi-simple complex Lie groups by compact subgroups? – Jean Delinez Feb 8 '10 at 18:21
All quotients of parabolics are of the form you list in the case of $G = U(n),$ but in general there is no "flag-like" description of partial flag-varieties for general $G.$ For the classical groups, however, there are flag-like descriptions, and it's fun finding the Borels and parabolics that they correspond to. As to your last question, there should be lots of examples. You mention elliptic curves, and higher genus curves should also fall into this category. Also, as far as I know, the Schubert subvarieties of flag varieties aren't a quotient of linear algebraic groups. – Mike Skirvin Feb 8 '10 at 21:47
I'm not sure if I understand. $G/P$ isn't a group, so I don't know what is meant by its Lie algebra. Perhaps I misunderstood the question? – Mike Skirvin Feb 8 '10 at 22:15
Let me try again: For a general semi-simple compact Lie group $G$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, and a parabolic subgroup $P$ with corresponding Lie subalgebra $\mathfrak{p}$, is there a nice description of the algebra of continuous functions of $G$ in terms of $\mathfrak{g}$ or $\mathbb{p}$, or both? – Jean Delinez Feb 9 '10 at 3:38
Mike Skirvin has sorted out some of the main issues here, but the language used in the original question tends to confuse matters. The framework is the Borel-Chevalley structure theory of linear algebraic groups over an arbitrary algebraically closed field. Nothing special here about $\mathbb{C}$. Starting with $G$ (which can be assumed connected), define a parabolic subgroup to be a closed subgroup $H$ for which the quotient variety $G/H$ is projective. By analogy with some classical examples, this variety is usually referred to as a "partial flag variety". Note that the construction of a quotient variety in this setting involves a morphism $G \rightarrow G/H$ whose fibers are $H$ and its other left cosets. Thus $H$ must be closed in order for $G/H$ to make sense as a variety. The language of manifolds doesn't come in unless this picture is compared with the Lie group picture for $\mathbb{C}$, where fortunately everything translates well for reductive groups.
In the structure theory, it is shown that $H$ is parabolic precisely when it contains some Borel subgroup, then that $H$ is connected and self-normalizing, etc. All of this is most interesting when $G$ is reductive (and has a nontrivial semisimple derived group).

(iv) Theorem (Borel-Hirzebruch 1958, maybe?) A projective variety in characteristic zero with a transitive action of a connected linear algebraic group is smooth and Fano, i.e., its anticanonical bundle is ample.
This means "most" varieties don't arise as quotients by parabolic subgroups. In particular, curves of positive genus, and smooth hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$ of degree at least $n+1$ make good examples.
share|improve this answer
I guess this theorem comes from the two-part paper by Borel and Hirzebruch on homogeneous spaces and characteristic classes published in 1958-59? In any case, smooth projective varieties (or compact complex manifolds) of the form $G/P$ are scarce thanks to the Borel-Chevalley structure theory and the associated root system data. Even for smooth Schubert varieties, I'd expect few other than flag varieties to be of this form but can't quantify this. – Jim Humphreys May 30 '10 at 22:07
That sounds like a correct reference, although I have never read the paper itself. I'm inclined to agree that the class of Fano varieties is itself far larger than the class of varieties of the form G/P, but I don't know any more adjectives (except "homogeneous" which is cheating) that narrow things down correctly. – S. Carnahan May 31 '10 at 0:20
Two important properties that $G/P$ homogeneous spaces have are (1) they are defined over $\mathbb{Z}$ and (2) they have good reduction everywhere (possibly, with modulo assumptions on the center of $G$). Already for del Pezzo surfaces obtained by blowing up a few points on $\mathbb{P}^2$, (2) fails. – Victor Protsak May 31 '10 at 4:22
Victor, nice observation! The coset space $G/P$ always descends to a smooth proper scheme over the entirety of $\mathbf{Z}$, no hypotheses


Subtract two easy formulas does not work. why?
Hello everybody,
i want to subtract two simple COUNT formulas but it doesn't work.
However, if I look at the individual results, then I have a result.
what am I doing wrong?
Hi StevenB,
Could you please try the same using COUNT_TABLE.
COUNT_TABLE(table1.column1) - COUNT_TABLE(table2.column2).
Hope it will solve your problem.
Many Thanks.
Now I have a number as a result.
That's really great.
Unfortunately, the number is completely wrong (-141). :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
What is so difficult for Celonis to subtract 2 numbers?
Hi _USER_
With your query, you are introducing a join between the two tables. After the join was computed, the aggregation functions are applied. So the COUNT on the smaller table actually returns the number of rows after the join with the larger table - which is basically the number of rows of the larger table (not necessarily exactly, because NULL values are not being counted). But in your case, it returns 0 because both COUNT results are the same, because of the mentioned reason.
If you are familiar with SQL: There you would also have the same issue. If you do a Join between both tables and then use the COUNTs in the SELECT statement, you would end up with the same result.
The suggestion of _USER_ is good, as COUNT_TABLE counts the number of rows of a particular table, not taking potential joins into account. However, if you have NULL values in the columns, they are also counted here, in contrast to the COUNT functions, which is probably why you get a result which is not the one you are expecting.
So what you wanna do is, you want to calculate the COUNTs separately first before subtracting, such that no join is introduced. You can do this for example with a PU function using the CONSTANT child table option:
PU_COUNT(CONSTANT(), "Table1"."Column") -
PU_COUNT(CONSTANT(), "Table2"."Column")
If FILTERs should be taken into account, you can warp a FILTER_TO_NULL around the arguments:
If you want, you can also do this for one side only, for the other one you could also leave the COUNT, e.g.:
COUNT("Table1"."Column") -
Can you check if this works for you?

Why Illuminati don't respect Muslims and don't allow them to enter their society? Read the article and you'll find an answer.
Many people who are interested with everything mystical and religious ask why illuminati hate Islam. In this article we'll try to find an answer.
Why the illuminati hate Islam?
Illuminati are a secret organization whose views and activity are kept in a strict secret and aren't known to anybody, except its members. Privacy of this organization is multilevel, and rank-and-file members are usually not let into its highest secrets. The Muslim shouldn't trust in those who can't be estimated from the point of view of Koran and Sunnah. Entering the organization of masons is similar to those who sign empty check and give it to other absolutely unknown person, thereby giving everything he has. Any Muslim can't unconditionally be sent to someone's will, except Allah's will. That's why does the illuminati hate Islam.
Because of developed cultural disagreements, hostility to each other has turned out. Here are more points why Illuminates and Islam are incompatible.

Why illuminati against Islam?
Society of masons is a secret organization, which purposes were never officially disclosed. It covers itself with a dense veil of privacy. Each new member has to swear a solemn oath never to reveal its secrets. It is informed that exposure of secrets of organization threatens his or her life. Access to this society is open not for everyone. Actually, society of masons takes members only after careful studying of their persons and situation. It also tries to admit to the organization monarchs, presidents, ministers conducting politicians and influential people. They are given honorary membership that holds them on the periphery of this secret society. It means that they don't make any decisions and aren't devoted in its secrets. Only those who are ready to work with fidelity for the sake of his purposes can know them. But only after passing of number of tests and advance on a scale of ranks. As Islam means certain rules, which contradict purposes of this organization, Illuminates don't consider followers of this religion as participants of the society. That's one more reason why does illuminati hate Islam.
Many people wrote about secret purposes of Masonic brotherhood. Generally, these were former members who left society after they realized that they couldn't reconcile with its purposes. This society serves the idea of world Jewry and therefore received such name. Illuminate means a builder, a bricklayer, and society of masons seeks to build a temple of Solomon in Jerusalem after destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, because Jews claim that this mosque was built on the place of the destroyed temple.
This society takes everything that promotes interests of Jews under guardianship and favors to their situation in the world. Many members serve this society, believing that they serve freedom, equality and justice. But at the same time they don't know that they only assist establishment of domination of Jews in world affairs. For many years, masons had a mass of enemies, generally from Catholic and Muslim church.
If Muslim enters society of masons, then such step will contradict doctrines of Islam. The purposes and activity of this society contradict principles of Islam and break its laws. For example, Islam believes in preservation of equality between all people independently on race, skin color, origin, social standing or beliefs. The Muslim has to be fair to all people. Islam forbids favoritism, nepotism and discrimination at any pretext. Masons treat to each other with preference only because of membership in this society.
Islam respects other religions. The freemasonry deceives their members, forcing them to think that they promote a humanization of society though actually they promote interests of those who try to establish world supremacy of Jews. Masons seek for destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque to build temple of Solomon on this place. How then the Muslim can enter this society? That's why do illuminati hate Islam.
