Active Directory Group age
(5 Ratings)
Description
Queries Active Directory to get a list of all user groups, the date it was created and last modified, and writes the output to a CSV file. Useful when cleaning up Active Directory.
Note: The script uses rootDSE to bind to the domain in which you are logged into. If you are in a forest scenario and want to bind to the root you can replace ("defaultNamingContext") with ("rootDomainNamingContext").

 Changed the script to bind to rootDSE insdead of having people type the domain name in the LDAP query manually. Thanks to Martin9700 for the suggestion. I wrote the script very quickly to try to answer a question on a post and got lazy...lol

 Could you tweak this to show the age of computer accounts? Nice script for getting the age of groups but it would be more helpful if it listed computer account age for AD cleanup. Thanks.

 shanfont, to check the age of computer accounts you might want to look into OldCmp from Joeware: _URL_ I could modify the script to do what you asked very easily but OldCmp can do so much more. I recommend you download it and just run (from command line) oldcmp /? so you can see all the options. I use it to check the age of computer accounts and have it save the output to HTML. I must warn you that it is a very powerful tool so be careful if you use it for anything other than reporting.

 Hi, This is a great script and thanks for posting. I'm wondering what I would have to do to add the description of the Group on the excel sheet. I have tried adding the "description" attribute to the script but it just doesn't work.

 Massively awesome. You just saved me a lot of time. I would imagine that I can just modify the ' WHERE objectCategory='group'" to ' WHERE objectCategory='Computer'" to get the same info right?

 Is there a way to have a "last used" column?


text: The low-transmittance elements required for a high power laser facility have stringent specifications about transmittance. To validate optic performance against specifications, a metrology system for transmittance is proposed. The system is composed of a laser source, an integrating sphere, a power meter, and four uncoated wedged glasses. A relative measurement method is adopted, which is that the surface reflectivity of uncoated glass is used as the reference to compare with the sample's transmittance. The systematic feature is that uncoated wedged glasses are applied to split and reflect beams, which not only avoid coating errors, but also make the two beam powers attenuate properly. Measurement results for a sample's transmittance are presented. Experiment and analysis show that the relative standard uncertainty (σ(T)/T) of measurement is 0.424%. This system is available for large-aperture elements.

Hackernoon logoCarrierWave Upload Multiple Images by@kolosek
CarrierWave Upload Multiple Images
Nesha Hacker Noon profile picture
CEO @ Kolosek.com
When you are building a web application, you definitely want to add an option for image uploading as well. In this tutorial, we will show you the necessary steps to enable upload multiple images/files using CarrierWave in Rails 4+ from scratch. A similar procedure can be applied for nested forms.
Step 1: In the gem file
CarrierWave is a Ruby gem that provides a simple and extremely flexible way to upload files from Ruby applications. You will need to add these gems to the Gemfile and run
bundle install
gem 'carrierwave'
Step 2: Setting up CarrierWave
The first step to configure CarrierWave it to run the following command:
rails generate uploader Avatar
This will create a new directory called uploaders in the app folder and a file inside called avatar_uploader.rb.
class AvatarUploader < CarrierWave::Uploader::Base
 storage :file
 def store_dir
 def default_url
 "/images/fallback/" + [version_name, "default.png"].compact.join('_')
- You can modify the default directory to change where uploaded files will be stored.
- It is the path to the default image, you can use this image if no other image has been selected.
Step 3: Generate your migrations
You can generate your migrations using Scaffolding in Rails. This will generate a full set of model, views and controller, and a test suite for each of the above. It is the most simple way to get your project up and running.
 - rails g scaffold post title:string
 - rails g scaffold post_attachment post_id:integer avatar:string
 - rake db:migrate
Step 4: Edit Models
Once scaffolding finishes generating the files you can start editing your models.
You want to be able to create post and post_attachment in one go. To do this you need to add the following to
 class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
 has_many :post_attachments
 accepts_nested_attributes_for :post_attachments
'accepts_nested_attributes_for :post_attachments'
- Nested attributes allow you to save attributes on associated records through the parent.
The time has come to mount your uploader. Navigate to your PostAttachment model and add
'mount_uploader :avatar, AvatarUploader'
to the file.
 class PostAttachment < ActiveRecord::Base
 mount_uploader :avatar, AvatarUploader
 belongs_to :post
Step 5: Modify your Controller
The next step is to modify the
to accept those new nested attributes.
def show
 _USER_ = _USER_.post_attachments.all
def new
 _USER_ = Post.new
 _USER_ = _USER_.post_attachments.build
To make sure that
is ready to be created once the new post is done, you will need to build it with
 def create
 _USER_ = Post.new(post_params)
 respond_to do |format|
 if _USER_.save
 params[:post_attachments]['avatar'].each do |a|
 _USER_ = _USER_.post_attachments.create!(:avatar => a, :post_id => _USER_.id)
 format.html { redirect_to _USER_, notice: 'Post was successfully created.' }
 format.html { render action: 'new' }
To help the nested attributes reach the model, you will need to add the following to the post_params method in the PostController.
def post_params
 params.require(:post).permit(:title, post_attachments_attributes:
 [:id, :post_id, :avatar])
Step 6: View layout
For the last step to finish out application you will need to edit the view to allow us to upload new images. You can do this by adding the following line:
<%= p.file_field :avatar, :multiple => true, name: "post_attachments[avatar][]" %>
<%= form_for(_USER_, :html => { :multipart => true }) do |f| %>

 <%= f.label :title %>
 <%= f.text_field :title %>
 <%= f.fields_for :post_attachments do |p| %>

 <%= p.label :avatar %>
 <% end %>

 <%= f.submit %>
 <% end %>

To evaluate changes in the retail food environment profile in a Brazilian metropolis over a 10-year period.
An ecological study was conducted in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The addresses of formal food establishments were geocoded and classified according to their sold-food profile. Density changes were analysed according to neighbourhood, population size, income level and geospatial distribution.
Totally, 468 neighbourhoods in the city of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Totally, 83 752 formal food establishments registered for operation in any one or more of those years: 2008, 2011, 2015 and 2018.
There was an increase in unhealthy establishments (154 %), followed by mixed (51 %) and healthy establishments (32 %), during the period evaluated, in addition to an increase in density according to income categories. There was a higher proportion of unhealthy establishments in relation to healthy establishments, indicating worsening of the community food environment over time.
Over the course of 10 years, changes in the neighbourhood's food environment were unfavourable for adequate access to healthy foods in lower-income neighbourhoods. The findings reinforce the need for interventions aimed at increasing the availability of businesses that offer healthy food in the city.


Text Face
TextFace is an interactive installation that allows people to leave their text-message as well as a video message. The interactive shows all recorded messages until someone activates it by pressing any key on the keyboard. Once activated, the system shows live video taken from the camera, as well as a message inviting the user to type his/her message. As the user types, images are recorded on every keystroke, so a stop-frame animation is gathered as the user writes the message. Once the user is finished, a final animation is recorded and the whole message becomes part of the collaborative story. Text Face would be an interactive video-enabled version of a traditional guest-book.
Text Face has been used in "Every time I see the sea…", an fund-rising exhibit about the Tsuanmi by Christian Aid, as well as in the "Legible London Exhibition" at New London Architecture.

Cape Cod Pond Homes
Cape Cod's ponds vary in size and development — from Wellfleet's Duck Pond with its single house — to Long Pond in Harwich which features hundreds of homes along its 6.4 mile shoreline. Ponds, both freshwater and saltwater, offer varied ecosystems and recreational opportunities for buyers and visitors alike. The following is a quick overview of the types of ponds:
Kettle Ponds — an iconic feature of the Cape, these ponds formed by retreating glaciers during the last Ice Age, leaving depressions that filled with water over time. Kettle ponds are clear, clean, and perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating. Well-known kettle ponds include Great Pond in Eastham, Long Pond in Wellfleet, and Cliff Pond in Brewster.
Saltwater Ponds — these ponds connect to the ocean through natural inlets or tidal creeks.They create unique habitats for various marine species and birdlife and are popular for shell fishing and kayaking. Herring Pond in Eastham and Stage Harbor in Chatham are examples of saltwater ponds.

More About Cape Cod Pond Homes
Cape Cod ponds offer a number of waterfront recreational activities throughout the year. In warmer months, residents can enjoy fishing, kayaking, swimming, paddle boarding, and sailing. Ponds are also a favored destination for anglers looking for bass and pickerel, among other types of fish. Several local towns regularly stock their ponds to enhance fishing experiences.
Similar to the beaches, many of the ponds are protected as part of conservation areas or state parks. These initiatives are designed to preserve their natural beauty as well as the biodiversity of the region.
Our website offers you the opportunity to drill down and look at homes for sale by both town and individual pond across Cape Cod. Our team members are available to help you evaluate the various Cape ponds and help narrow your search for a home to one of these gems.


time" in "suite" layer and we want to get its value, we could do that in the following way:
 6. timeValue=${mx.suite.time}
 That will only work if we ran a test case inside a suite, because if we do not, there will be no "suite" layer
Using the Workspace (File System)
MaxTAF Cloud fully supports Java libraries. You can also use custom or third party libraries (for example from _URL_).
In order to use libraries do the following:
 1. Go to "Workspace"
 2. Depending on your java_ext_libs_path project parameter, you should navigate to it's value in the folder tree (or by default /java/libs)
 3. Once you navigate to Java libraries folder, upload the .jar by right clicking on the folder and selecting Upload
 4. Once the .jar is uploaded, you can use it inside your test case code for compilation and autocompletion support
After you successfully mount a drive, you can use it with your IDE of choice.
We usually recommend IntelliJ IDEA.
To use the drive as a Java project with IntelliJ IDEA, do the following:
 1. Start up IntelliJ IDEA
 2. Go to File => Open… and select "X:/java" for Windows or "/mnt//java" for Linux
 3. You can now start using your project normally as a Java project
Test Management
Suites are batches of tests, used for running groups of tests.
They can be used to either run an entire pack of tests, or to batch tests up according to themes, system areas tested, types of test or any other level of refinement required.
Grouping tests in this way allows for more granular reporting, giving testers and developers better and more precise insight into system health.
Creating a suite
Creating a suite is simple.
 1. Head to the Suites section of MaxTAF, which is found in the left-hand menu
 2. Press 'create'
 3. Enter name, press create
 4. In the items box, click "Add items"
 5. Select the cases you want to add
 6. Click "add" to confirm selection
Sequencing suite runs
Your test runs can be sequenced in any configuration or order that you choose.
In the items table, under the sequence column, the number dictates how early in the sequence tests will run.
If you select the same sequence number for different tests, then the tests will run in parallel.
Running a suite
Running a suite follows mostly the same rules as running cases, found here.
Cases can share information during a suite run. This is especially needed when one case creates some data object that will then be further processed by another case that runs after it.
The mechanism that MaxTAF Cloud uses is similar to a bulletin board, in the sense that the cases that participate in the same suite run can post information to and read information from a jointly accessible area.
 1. To post a piece of information, a case will use ApiService method setSharedRunValue(name, value)
 2. To read posted information, a case will use ApiService method getSharedRunValue(name)
Even for hierarchically structured suites (when a suite contains other suites), the values that are posted to the bulletin board are available to all cases in all suites that belong to the hierarchy.
Note: It is very important to correctly sequence the cases in the suite as otherwise you may end up reading a shared value before it has been set yet.
Example:
Suite Structure:

Sequence No
Case
10
Create_Invoice
20
Approve_Invoice
Java:
Create_Invoice code:
public class Create_Invoice extends Base {
 private ApiService mxService = super.getApiService();
 @Test
 public void test() {
 mxService.setSharedRunValue("invoice_no", "INV123");
 }
 }
Approve_Invoice code:
 public class Approve_Invoice extends Base {
 private ApiService mxService = super.getApiService();
 ...
 @Test
 public void test() {
 String invoice_no = mxService.getSharedRunValue("invoice_no");

public class Create_Invoice : Base
{
 ApiService MxService;
 ...
 [Test]
 public void Test1()
 {
 MxService.SetSharedRunValue("invoice_no","INV123");
 }
}
Approve_Invoice code:

public class Approve_Invoice : Base
{
 ApiService MxService;
 ...
 [Test]
 public void Test1()
 {
 string invoice_no = MxService.GetSharedRunValue("invoice_no");

Approve_Invoice code:
class Approve_Invoice(Base):
 def setup_class(self):
 self.mxService = Base.getApiService(Base)

 def testBasepy(self):
 invoice_no = self.mxService.getSharedRunValue("invoice_no","Hello from test!")
_____________________________________________________________
JavaScript:
Create_Invoice code:
describe("Create_Invoice", function() {
 let mxService
 before(function() {
 mxService = base.getApiService()
 })
 it("posts invoice no", async function() {
 mxService.setSharedRunValue("invoice_no","INV123")
 })
})
Approve_Invoice code:
describe("Approve_Invoice", function() {
 let mxService
 before(function() {
 mxService = base.getApiService()
 })
 it("reads invoice no", async function() {
 invoice_no = await mxService.getSharedRunValue("invoice_no")
 })
})
Suites of Suites
Suites can be also batched up into meta-suites.
To create a suite of suites, follow the same process for cases, but when you enter the 'add items' dialogue, there is a tab at the top in which suites can be selected instead of cases.

What are templates on MaxTAF Cloud?
Templates are used to create test cases with predefined code and parameters. Each test case on MaxTAF Cloud is created from a template. You can choose from many predefined templates in your project to create a test case.
Each template is a JSON object which has the following:
Where are templates stored?
Templates are stored on your workspace. You can find them by opening Workspace > Templates.
How can I create my own templates?
You can create as many templates as you wish by exporting specific test cases as templates.
First, you have to create a test case (or choose an existing one) with the same combination of language and testing framework as you want your template to be, then feel free to change code and parameters according to your needs. When your test case is ready to become a template, simply click the Export button and check the Template option, give your new template a name and description (this is optional) and click Export.
Can I use my templates in other projects?
Yes you can. Just download the templates you want to use in other projects and upload them in the corresponding workspace folders for the projects in which you want to use them.
Exporting allows you to download a test case or suite in either XML or JSON format. To do so, follow these steps:
 1. Navigate to the Suites/Cases page via the navigation menu
 2. From the list on either

We report the crystal structures of four synthetic members of the variscite group (space group type Pbca) and of bonacinaite, the first naturally occurring scandium arsenate member of the metavariscite group. All structures were determined using single-crystal X-ray intensity data. The following members were all synthesised under either mild hydrothermal conditions or by wet-chemical methods (<90°C). CrAsO4⋅2H2O (deep green): a = 8.894(2), b = 9.946(2), c = 10.206(2) Å and V = 902.8(3) Å3; R1 = 2.14%. Tl3+PO4⋅2H2O (colourless): a = 10.2848(7), b = 8.8578(6), c = 10.3637(7) Å and V = 944.14(11) Å3 (data at –173°C); R1 = 2.56%. MnSeO4⋅2H2O (pale pink): a = 10.441(2), b = 9.2410(18), c = 10.552(2) Å and V = 1018.1(3) Å3; R1 = 2.19%. A different method of preparation of MnSeO4⋅2H2O yielded crystals with very similar unit-cell parameters, a = 10.4353(5), b = 9.2420(5) and c = 10.5349(6) Å; R1 = 2.25%. CdSeO4⋅2H2O (colourless) has a = 10.481(1), b = 9.416(1), c = 10.755(1) Å and V = 1061.4(2) Å3; R1 = 1.53%. The thermal behaviour of the two selenate members was studied by a combination of DSC and TG, supplemented by PXRD. Bonacinaite (IMA2018-056), metavariscite-type natural (Sc,Al)(As,P)O4⋅2H2O (ideally ScAsO4⋅2H2O), crystallises in the space group P21/n, with a = 5.533(1), b = 10.409(2), c = 9.036(2) Å, β = 91.94(3)° and V = 520.11(18) Å3; R1 = 3.66%. The structural formula, supported by chemical analysis, is (Sc0.807(1)Al0.193)(As0.767(7)P0.233)O4⋅2H2O. All structures are based on frameworks built by corner-sharing of TO4 tetrahedra (T = P5+, As5+ or Se6+) with MO4(H2O)2 (M = Mn2+, Cd2+, Cr3+, Sc3+ or Tl3+) octahedra. The flexible frameworks are reinforced by partly bifurcated, strong to weak hydrogen bonds.
The crystal chemistry of all known synthetic and natural members of the variscite and metavariscite groups is discussed and compared, and the relative stabilities are evaluated. With the aid of the COMPSTRU program (Bilbao Crystallographic Server), a quantitative comparison of the crystal structures in both groups is given. Calculations of the structural and topological complexity reveal that the metavariscite structure type is structurally and topologically simpler than that of variscite. It is suggested that metavariscite and phosphosiderite are metastable kinetically stabilised phases, in contrast to thermodynamically stable variscite and strengite, respectively. The 3D frameworks of the members of both groups have been shown to be potential electrode materials for rechargeable Li ion batteries.

In the knock-out process, as well as in the preliminary phase of moulding sand reclamation, the issue of energy demand for the process of crushing used sand agglutinations, preferably to single grains, is particularly important. At present, numerical values of moulding sand impact resistance, which would allow energy-related aspects of this process to be forecast, are not known, as such research has not been carried out. It seems that impact resistance tested on very small cross-section samples, which allows us to very precisely reveal some unique features of a moulding sand with organic and inorganic binders, is an important parameter, which so far has not been taken into account for evaluation of mechanical properties of moulding sands. Preliminary attempts to determine impact resistance of moulding sands have been carried out as part of own research of the author. The conducted investigations aimed at determining the relationships between the obtained values of tensile strength and impact resistance of moulding sands. In addition, the effect of holding samples at temperatures of 100oC, 200oC, 300oC on the value of impact resistance was determined, both for sands made with fresh and with reclaimed sand grains.

- validateActionName is the validation method, returning true or false. It is the first method looked for when the action ActionName is requested. If it doesn't exist, the action method is executed directly.
 - handleErrorActionName is the method called when the validation method fails. If it doesn't exist, the Error template is displayed.
 - executeActionName is the action method. It must exist for all actions.
Listing 6-29 shows an example of an action class with validation methods. Whether the validation passes or fails in this example, the myActionSuccess.php template will be executed, but not with the same parameters.
Listing 6-29 - Sample Validation Methods
class mymoduleActions extends sfActions
{
 public function validateMyAction()
 {
 return ($this->getRequestParameter('id') > 0);
 }

 public function handleErrorMyAction()
 {
 $this->message = "Invalid parameters";

 return sfView::SUCCESS;
 }

 public function executeMyAction()
 {
 $this->message = "The parameters are correct";
 }
}
You can put any code you want in the validate() methods. Just make sure they return either true or false. As it is a method of the sfActions class, it has access to the sfRequest and sfUser objects as well, which can be really useful for input and context validation.
You could use this mechanism to implement form validation (that is, control the values entered by the user in a form before processing it), but this is the type of repetitive task for which symfony provides automated tools, as described in Chapter 10.
Filters
The security process can be understood as a filter by which all requests must pass before executing the action. According to some tests executed in the filter, the processing of the request is modified--for instance, by changing the action executed (default/secure instead of the requested action in the case of the security filter). Symfony extends this idea to filter classes. You can specify any number of filter classes to be executed before the action execution or before the response rendering, and do this for every request. You can see filters as a way to package some code, similar to preExecute() and postExecute(), but at a higher level (for a whole application instead of for a whole module).
The Filter Chain
Symfony actually sees the processing of a request as a chain of filters. When a request is received by the framework, the first filter (which is always the sfRenderingFilter) is executed. At some point, it calls the next filter in the chain, then the next, and so on. When the last filter (which is always sfExecutionFilter) is executed, the previous filter can finish, and so on back to the rendering filter. Figure 6-3 illustrates this idea with a sequence diagram, using an artificially small filter chain (the real one contains more filters).
Figure 6-3 - Sample filter chain
Sample filter chain
This process justifies the structure of the filter classes. They all extend the sfFilter class, and contain one execute() method, expecting a $filterChain object as parameter. Somewhere in this method, the filter passes to the next filter in the chain by calling $filterChain->execute(). See Listing 6-30 for an example. So basically, filters are divided into two parts:
 - The code before the call to $filterChain->execute() executes before the action execution.
 - The code after the call to $filterChain->execute() executes after the action execution and before the rendering.
Listing 6-30 - Filter Class Struture
class myFilter extends sfFilter
{
 public function execute ($filterChain)
 {
 // Code to execute before the action execution
 ...

 // Execute next filter in the chain
 $filterChain->execute();

 // Code to execute after the action execution, before the rendering
 ...
 }
}
The default filter chain is defined in an application configuration file called filters.yml, and is shown in Listing 6-31. This file lists the filters that are to be executed for every request.
Listing 6-31 - Default Filter Chain, in myapp/config/filters.yml
rendering: ~
web_debug: ~
security: ~
# Generally, you will want to insert your own filters here
cache: ~
common: ~
flash: ~
execution: ~
These declarations have no parameter (the tilde character, ~, means "null" in YAML), because they inherit the parameters defined in the symfony core. In the core, symfony defines class and param settings for each of these filters. For instance, Listing 6-32 shows the default parameters for the rendering filter.
Listing 6-32 - Default Parameters of the rendering Filter, in $sf_symfony_data_dir/config/filters.yml
rendering:
 class: sfRenderingFilter # Filter class
 param: # Filter parameters
 type: rendering
By leaving the empty value (~) in the application filters.yml, you tell symfony to apply the filter with the default settings defined in the core.
You can customize the filter chain in various ways:
 - Disable some filters from the chain by adding an enabled: off parameter. For instance, to disable the web debug filter, write:
 web_debug:
 enabled: off

 - Do not remove an entry from the filters.yml to disable a filter; symfony would throw an exception in this case.
 - Add your own declarations somewhere in the chain (usually after the security filter) to add a custom filter (as discussed in the next section). Be aware that the rendering filter must be the first entry, and the execution filter must be the last entry of the filter chain.
 - Override the default class and parameters of the default filters (notably to modify the security system and use your own security filter).
tip
The enabled: off parameter works well to disable your own filters, but you can deactivate the default filters via the settings.yml file, by modifying the values of the web_debug, use_security, cache, and use_flash settings. This is because each of the default filters has a condition parameter that tests the value of these settings.
Building Your Own Filter
It is pretty simple to build a filter. Create a class definition similar to the one shown in Listing 6-30, and place it in one of the project's lib/ folders to take advantage of the autoloading feature.
As an action can forward or redirect to another action and consequently relaunch the full chain of filters, you might want to restrict the execution of your own filters to the first action call of the request. The isFirstCall() method of the sfFilter class returns a Boolean for this purpose. This call only makes sense before the action execution.
These concepts are clearer with an example. Listing 6-33 shows a filter used to auto-log users with a specific MyWebSite cookie, which is supposedly created by the login action. It is a rudimentary but working way to implement the "remember me" feature offered in login forms.
Listing 6-33 - Sample Filter Class File, Saved in apps/myapp/lib/rememberFilter.class.php
class rememberFilter extends sfFilter
{
 public function execute($filterChain)
 {
 // Execute this filter only once
 if ($this->isFirstCall())
 {
 // Filters don't have direct access to the request and user objects.
 // You will need to use the context object to get them
 $request = $this->getContext()->getRequest();
 $user = $this->getContext()->getUser();

 if ($request->getCookie('MyWebSite'))
 {
 // sign in
 $user->setAuthenticated(true);
 }
 }

 // Execute next filter
 $filterChain->execute();
 }
}
In some cases, instead of continuing the filter chain execution, you will need to forward to a specific action at the end of a filter. sfFilter doesn't have a forward() method, but sfController does, so you can simply do that by calling the following:
return $this->getContext()->getController()->forward('mymodule', 'myAction');
note
The sfFilter class has an initialize() method, executed when the filter object is created. You can override it in your custom filter if you need to deal with filter parameters (defined in filters.yml, as described next) in your own way.
Filter Activation and Parameters
Creating a filter file is not enough to activate it. You need to add your filter to the filter chain, and for that, you must declare the filter class in the filters.yml, located in the application or in the module config/ directory, as shown in Listing 6-34.
Listing 6-34 - Sample Filter Activation File, Saved in apps/myapp/config/filters.yml
rendering: ~
web_debug: ~
security: ~

Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Of strong mettle, having unbreakable spirit, strong of mind and spirit. 2. Brave, courageous.
Notes: I know what you are thinking: this word should mean "nosey, interfering." No, whatever you do, do not confuse this word with meddlesome (or nettlesome "irritating" for that matter). Today's Good Word has to do with our mettle, the stuff our character is made of. It is the adjective of the noun mettle—not to be confused with metal, even though it is little more than a variant spelling of that word (see Word History). Of course, we must also dodge medal and meddle when using this word. (Whew! Is speaking English worth it?)
In Play: Keeping all these words separate poses quite a problem even for native speakers: "Riley received a medal for showing his mettle on the battlefield." He probably spent his time dodging metal shrapnel rather than meddling in other people's business. Mettle is required at all levels of human endeavor: "Now that Farnsworth has two children, we will see how mettlesome he really is."
Word History: It is no coincidence that mettle and metal look similar and sound the same: they were originally the same word. Metal was borrowed from Old French in the 14th century. The French inherited it from Latin, which borrowed it from Greek metallon, which originally meant "mine, quarry" but meant "ore, metal" by the time Latin borrowed it. In the 16th century metal took on a second meaning in England, "the stuff one is made of, one's character". The spelling always varied but it was only in the 18th century that the new meaning attached itself to an alternate spelling mettle. Here we see a hidden advantage in the inconsistencies of English spelling.

dc.description.abstract The purpose of this study is to explore the processes of individuation and connection in mother-daughter relationships, and describe how these relationships may or may not be facilitated by the intervention of reflections and joint narratives. This study used social constructionism as the epistemological framework and involved in-depth interviews with three mother-daughter pairs. Hermeneutics was used to analyse the data. The participants' experiences were recounted through the researcher's lens in the form of themes that characterised their relationships as well as interactional patterns. Participant's experiences of the research process, and what the researcher believed were helpful and unhelpful behaviours in her interaction with each mother-daughter pair, were discussed. A comparative analysis was also undertaken between the common themes identified in the stories of the mother-daughter pairs and the literature. The information gained could assist women as well as professionals in understanding and respecting mother-daughter relationships in their specific contexts. en

Learning About Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) Machines
What is a CPM machine?
After you have surgery on a joint, your doctor may recommend that you use a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine. This machine can help keep your joint flexible.
The CPM machine fully supports your joint. You can relax and let the machine do the work.
There are different types of these machines. For example, a knee CPM machine has a cradle to hold your leg. The machine slowly bends and straightens your knee. And you can adjust the amount your knee bends.
Why are CPM machines used?
You may use a CPM machine after surgery to help keep your joint flexible. You may also do exercises with a physiotherapist (PT). These exercises can improve the movement (range of motion) and strength in your joint.
If you have knee replacement surgery, a CPM machine may be slowly bending and straightening your knee when you wake up from surgery.
You may be able to take the CPM machine home for a few weeks. Use it as your doctor tells you. But also make sure to do any other exercises you learned from your doctor or PT.
Is it an emergency?

Do obesity-reduction programs targeted to rural populations use CDC's 12 Common Community Measures for Obesity Prevention (COCOMO) for physical activity - and if so, do these strategies work?
To find out, a workgroup from 11 of the 21 academic centers participating in the CDC-funded Physical Activity Policy and Research Network conducted a review of the relevant literature from 2002 to 2013. Of the 26 studies that reported on strategies to support physical activity in rural areas, 22 reported on COCOMO strategies. The two most common strategies, implemented in 10 of the studies, were enhancing infrastructure to support walking and increasing opportunities for extracurricular physical activity. Only 14 studies measured or reported physical activity outcomes, and of the 10 that reported positive changes in physical activity, only four reported significant positive changes.
Seven of the 12 strategies were successfully implemented in two or more studies, suggesting that these strategies are relevant in rural communities. However, the researchers could not assess overall effectiveness of the strategies across studies because of variation in settings, methods, and results.
The researchers suggest that while the literature review suggests that COCOMO physical activity strategies are applicable in rural settings, future studies should be more robust in study design and measurement of outcomes.
"Few studies used objective measurement," they noted. "Rural evaluations need to consistently measure physical activity using accelerometers for a better understanding of intervention effectiveness."

This is a follow-up question to What differentiates great music from good? I'm referring to singers who have some minimum standard here - those who can hit the notes, etc.
Given two singers in a singing competition, what makes one singer win the competition over the other? For example, here's Idina Menzel and Lea Salonga singing "Defying Gravity". Can we objectively say one singer is better than the other? If so, how? If not, what's the point of singing competitions?
Richard's answer to the linked question makes sense for composers, but it doesn't seem to apply to singers. For example presumably Idina Menzel and Lea Salonga don't influence each other. They might influence fans who try to imitate them, but not each other. Innovation doesn't seem to work either, since they are both faced with the same music. A composer could write a innovative piece of music, but a singer presumably can't innovate on the song someone else has written without changing it.

Three Trio Sonatas for Two Flutes (or Two Violins) and Basso Continuo, Op. 5 HWV397/398/401
- Interesting, worth a look
- Recommended edition
From the Publisher
The three Trio Sonatas in this edition were taken from the sonata collection published in London by John Walsh in 1739. Since hardly any chamber music compositions have come down to us from Handel's later years other than the well-known D major Violin Sonata, these Trio Sonatas can be considered as one of Handel's last contributions to the field of instrumental chamber music.
The first edition specifies two violins or flutes as melody instruments for the Op.5 Sonatas. However, since scoring indications, particularly in instrumental chamber music, were taken very liberally at that time, it is also perfectly legitimate to play these works in other instrumental combinations (for example, violin and flute).
- Sonata in D major Op.5 No.2 (HWV 397)
- Sonata in E minor Op.5 No.3 (HWV 398)
- Sonata in F major Op.5 No.6 (HWV 401)


sndloop — A sound looper with pitch control.
This opcode records input audio and plays it back in a loop with user-defined duration and crossfade time. It also allows the pitch of the loop to be controlled, including reversed playback.
asig, krec sndloop ain, kpitch, ktrig, idur, ifad
idur -- loop duration in seconds
ifad -- crossfade duration in seconds
asig -- output sig
krec --'rec on' signal, 1 when recording, 0 otherwise
kpitch -- pitch control (transposition ratio); negative values play the loop back in reverse
ktrig -- trigger signal: when 0, processing is bypassed. When switched on (ktrig >= 1), the opcode starts recording until the loop memory is full. It then plays the looped sound until it is switched off again (ktrig = 0). Another recording can start again with ktrig >= 1.
Example 431. Example
asig in ; get the signal in
ktrig line 0, 1, 1 ; trigger signal
aout,krec sndloop asig, 1, ktrig, 4, 0.05 ; rec starts at 1 sec, for 4 secs 0.05 crossfade
printk 1, krec ; prints the recording signal
 out aout
The example above shows the basic operation of sndloop. Pitch can be controlled at the k-rate, recording is started as soon as the trigger value is >= 1. Recording can be restarted by making the trigger 0 and then 1 again.

The Blumenthal House is among the very best houses in the 'International Modernist" style in New Zealand. It is one of very few New Zealand houses of any period to be published internationally.
The house is considered to be the best work of Vladimir Cacala. Cacala arrived in New Zealand from Czechoslovakia in 1952, and quickly established a reputation as an architect of the Bauhaus school. Vladimir Cacala was trained in modern architecture in a part of Europe that had embraced modernism before the war. He brought that knowledge and experience with him to New Zealand. His life and work demonstrates the huge cultural shifts of the 20th Century, and is a significant example of the cultural contribution made by European emigres to New Zealand society in the post war years.
The Blumenthals were also emigres to New Zealand. Their personal story connects New Zealand to the greater arc of 20th Century history, particularly the effects on Europe of the rise of Fascism, anti-semitism and the massive disturbances to populations and cultures caused by the Second World War. The arrival of the Blumenthals in New Zealand was a consequence of those events that has resulted in our country becoming a richer place thanks to their contribution to cultural life, including but certainly not limited to, the commissioning of this house.
The house is also an excellent example of building in the post war period. The house represents the changes that occurred in the Eastern suburbs of Auckland in the post war years, the rapid subdivision of what was farmland; the beginnings of the post war suburbs.

An increasing number of colleges and universities across the United States are making Giving Days an important part of their overall fundraising strategies.
These 24-hour fundraising challenges go beyond inspiring alumni to give, with participation seen from faculty, students, and even non-affiliated members of their local communities.
An impressive example was Canisius College's first Giving Day, with over $200,000 raised from more than 1,000 donors in a single day! Here's how Giving Days benefit both higher education organizations AND their donors:
BENEFITS FOR HIGHER ED ORGANIZATIONS
1. Improved Alumni Engagement
Successful Giving Days rely heavily on an enhanced online presence and social media engagement that leads supporters to a simple way to give back through online donations. Essentially with a Giving Day what you're doing is:
"Meeting donors where they already are – on social media and online" – Canisius
2. New Donor Acquisition
Studies from higher education Giving Days have revealed that they can (and often do) attract new donors of all age levels. See the stats from this higher ed Giving Day report!
It's important to also keep in mind the number of post-graduates who have accumulated student loan debt and who would normally not be appropriate to reach out to for donations.
With a Giving Day, more emphasis is placed on increasing the number of people that are involved in giving what they are able to give (known as "the crowdfunding game"), rather than a small number of wealthy people giving in large quantities. Because of this, everyone can feel as though they contributed to the grand total. 🙂
3. Improved Awareness / Understanding of Your Organization's Needs
With an amplified online presence through your Giving Day website and social media campaigns, you're improving both the number of people you're reaching with your message and the quality of that message. The better your cause is understood, the more people will relate to it and want to provide their support.
4. Raise Much-Needed Funds
As Canisius mentioned following their successful Giving Day, a lot of the funds they saw during this event may have never come in otherwise. Having a sense of urgency (24-hour timeframe!) really does encourage giving.
5. Rising Popularity and Success Amongst Universities as a Whole
More and more colleges and universities are seeing incredible results by implementing a Giving Day into their fundraising plan. Their strategies for success throughout the day are often shared openly and can be implemented by other institutions in order to see similar results.
6. They almost always Exceed Expectations
If you look at the Giving Day performance statistics for higher education organizations, the majority of them have surpassed their fundraising goals!
BENEFITS FOR DONORS
7. Strengthened Sense of Pride in Your Organization
Whether it be in the college itself or within certain groups they were associated with, donors can feel a strengthened sense of pride by contributing during the Giving Day. For example, a specific sports team could be recognized for giving the most as a group for that day or for having the most donors. These numbers are reflected in the Giving Day Leaderboards, one of the many great features offered through GiveGab.
When you have an established day dedicated to giving back to your college or university, you can get the entire community – beyond just your alumni – involved! When fundraising isn't only targeting your alumni, you're casting a larger net and establishing a bigger community of supporters that your alumni, faculty, students, and so on, can ALL feel a deeper connection to!
8. Increased Philanthropic Spirit
As most donors can attest to, there's a lot of joy that comes from contributing to something greater than ourselves. When an organization of higher learning has provided us with the skills and experience to succeed in life or with invaluable personal connections, a collaborative giving event can ignite a widespread spirit of philanthropy.
Giving to higher education has increased every year since 2010, according to The Chronicle of Philanthropy. Your college or university can be a part of this growing trend by implementing a Day of Giving into your overall fundraising strategy!

Split-FX Analysis Service
Work with the engineers at Split Engineering to process your pointclouds, run slope stability simulations and write a short report regarding your rock mass. We will consult with you regarding best practices for approaching the LIDAR scanning in the field so that the best possible scan for processing and analysis is obtained.
Pointcloud processing is conducted using the Split-FX® software. This software is designed specifically to extract geotechnical information from point clouds.
For rock mass characterization, important attributes of the geologic structure are extracted from the point clouds, including discontinuity orientation and spacing. The orientation results are plotted on a stereonet and the primary joint sets are determined.
The geologic structure is analyzed using the following steps in the Split-FX program:
- For each section, a meshing direction is identified which is roughly perpendicular to the surface in that section.
- A triangulated surface is created from the point cloud.
- Fracture "patches" are automatically found by finding collections of triangles that conform to a flatness criterion.
- Fractures that appear as traces and not surfaces on the rock slope are extracted by manually delineating the fracture traces on the point cloud.
- The orientation of the fracture patches and traces are plotted on a stereonet, and joint sets are determined. On the FX stereonet, larger fractures are plotted as a larger circle to be able to identify the most persistent discontinuities.
- Data is exported to the modeling software programs for slope stability analysis including plane or wedge failure.
Contact Split Engineering to discuss your project further.
Some key information in order for us to understand your project and formulate a scope of work includes:
- Location to be scanned (state, nearest city, mine or highway mile marker, etc.) and history of the site (old highway being widened, for example).
- Purpose of the scan project (was there a slope failure that we are investigating, for example) and how will this data be used.
- Surface area to be scanned (approximate square meters or square feet of surface area to be scanned).
- Is the scan complete, or does this need to be done? If the scan was already conducted we need information on the type of scanner used, scan point spacing, number of scan positions, among other information.
- What information do you want from the scan:
- Processed point clouds for viewing.
- Rock mass characterization information (fracture orientations, stereonets, fracture spacing, fracture roughness, GSI, etc.).
- Cross sections.
- Slope stability information (factor of safety, probability of failure, for plane wedge and toppling failure).
- Rockfall trajectory analysis.
- Change detection. Note: for this there will need to be "before" and "after" scanning or ongoing periodic scanning.
- Finite element numerical modeling for surface or underground stability analyses.

European Party Politics and Gender : Configuring Gender-Balanced Parliamentary Presence
Sammanfattning: In the late 20th century, the proportions of women and men elected into European national parliaments became increasingly equal. Political parties shape these outcomes by selecting and fielding candidates in elections. Scholars recognise that parties' actions do not occur in isolation; yet there is little systematically comparative research about the configurations of conditions in which these actions occur. Previous research also often relies on studies of West European parties. This doctoral thesis investigates how conditions inside and outside parties combine to create gender-equal parliamentary presence. The thesis examines the extent to which Western European experiences apply to Central and East European parties, and explores the conditions that stand in the way of progress towards gender balance. It presents three empirical studies. The first is a qualitative comparative analysis of 57 West European parties during the late 1980s, a period in which the trend towards equality accelerated. The second study applies the knowledge produced in the first analysis to cases in Central and Eastern Europe. It uses an original dataset covering six parties in four EU member states in a structured focused comparison. Finally, the thesis presents an in-depth case study of an unexpectedly gender-balanced Latvian party. The analyses show that gender-equal parliamentary presence is achieved when conditions inside and outside parties combine, and that no condition is necessary or singularly sufficient. The absence of gender-equal parliaments is sustained by combinations other than the absence of those that lead to gender-balance. Operationalisations from Western Europe turn out to be largely applicable to cases in Central and Eastern Europe. These latter cases also demonstrate that organisational instability need not impede women's presence in elected office.

TO ALL WATER DISTRICT CUSTOMERS
Please be advised that as we move through the summer months, and are enjoying this incredibly beautiful weather, we find that due to a lack of rain, our wells are experiencing reduced water levels. As a result of these recent conditions, effective August 1, 22, 2022, the Town of Chester will move forward with Water Restrictions from our Emergency Response Plan.
Pursuant to Section 4 of our Emergency Response Plan, we are taking a proactive step in the conservation of one of our most important resources; our water. When adequate water levels can be achieved, and we can meet the demand on our system, which continues to increase, we will be able to ease water restrictions and allow our users to return to their normal use. As always, it always is a great idea to find ways to conserve water, as it is a commodity that is not in endless supply.
We will continue to monitor the water levels at our wells, as well as the water usage consumed daily by our customers. The following water conservation practices are encouraged:
We further encourage commercial restaurants to utilize paper products where possible. This measure would be done on a voluntary basis and will reduce water usage where possible. These measures are helpful in our efforts to maintain water service for our Town users and will help to prevent further water restriction measures.
Please let us come together as a community in helping to preserve our water supply. We appreciate your cooperation during this time. For additional information or questions please contact the Town of Chester Town Clerk's Office at _PHONE_×322.

Existence of Positive Solutions for Multipoint Boundary Value Problem on the Half-Line with Impulses
© J. Li and J.J. Nieto 2009
Received: 7 March 2009

Published: 4 June 2009
We consider a multi-point boundary value problem on the half-line with impulses. By using a fixed-point theorem due to Avery and Peterson, the existence of at least three positive solutions is obtained.
Impulsive differential equations are a basic tool to study evolution processes that are subjected to abrupt changes in their state. For instance, many biological, physical, and engineering applications exhibit impulsive effects (see [1–3]). It should be noted that recent progress in the development of the qualitative theory of impulsive differential equations has been stimulated primarily by a number of interesting applied problems [4–24].

(),, and when is bounded, and are bounded on ;
Boundary value problems on the half-line arise quite naturally in the study of radially symmetric solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations and there are many results in this area, see [8, 13, 14, 20, 25–27], for example.
They showed the existence at least three positive solutions for (1.4) by using a fixed point theorem in a cone due to Avery-Peterson.
Yan, by using Leray-Schauder theorem and fixed point index theory presents some results on the existence for the boundary value problems on the half-line with impulses and infinite delay.
However to the best knowledge of the authors, there is no paper concerned with the existence of three positive solutions to multipoint boundary value problems of impulsive differential equation on infinite interval so far. Motivated by [20, 25], in this paper, we aim to investigate the existence of triple positive solutions for BVP (1.1). The method chosen in this paper is a fixed point technique due to Avery and Peterson.
In this section, we give some definitions and results that we will use in the rest of the paper.

The proof is similar to Lemma in, and here we omit it.

Therefore is continuous.
So is bounded.
So is quasi-equicontinuous on any compact interval of.
That is (3.11) holds. By Lemma 3.2, is relatively compact. In sum, is completely continuous.

The main result of this paper is the following.

Thus (4.5) holds.
This shows the condition (i) in Theorem 2.2 is satisfied.

What is the advantage of DZ973N copper extractant
What is the advantage of DZ973N copper extractant
DZ973N copper extractant has 35% aldoxime, 15% ketoxime and 50% solvent oil, the extraction ability is stronger than DZ988N, but the reverse extraction ability is weak, finally the copper net transfer all be 2.7 g/L.
LIX973N is a copper solvent extraction reagent. It is a high-performance extractant that is commonly used in the copper extraction process. It is designed to selectively extract copper ions from aqueous solutions, while leaving behind impurities such as iron and other metals. LIX973N has been widely used in the copper mining industry for many years and is manufactured by several chemical companies.
LIX973N and LIX984N are both copper solvent extraction reagents, but they have some key differences.
One advantage of using LIX973N is that it can operate at lower pH levels compared to LIX984N. This means that LIX973N can be more effective at extracting copper from the leach solution, especially when the starting pH is low.
Another advantage of LIX973N is that it has a lower viscosity than LIX984N. This allows it to flow more easily through the solvent extraction circuits, which can improve the overall efficiency of the copper extraction process.
However, LIX984N has its own advantages. For example, LIX984N has a higher loading capacity for copper and is better at handling organic contaminants in the leach solution. Additionally, LIX984N has been used in the copper extraction industry for a longer period of time compared to LIX973N, so its performance and reliability are well-established.
Ultimately, the choice between LIX973N and LIX984N will depend on the specific requirements of the copper extraction process, and it is important to carefully evaluate each reagent to determine which one is most suitable for the application.
Copper solvent extractants LIX973N and LIX984N have different chemical compositions, which result in their different usage in copper extraction processes.
LIX973N is a hydroxyoxime extractant that is primarily used in the extraction of copper from acidic solution. It has a higher selectivity for copper over iron compared to LIX984N and is suitable for use in acidic leaching environments such as heap leaching, dump leaching, and vat leaching.
On the other hand, LIX984N is a modified aldoxime extractant that is more commonly used in the extraction of copper from ammoniacal solutions. It has better copper selectivity than LIX973N in ammoniacal solutions and is commonly utilized in the solvent extraction stage of copper processing.
Therefore, the choice of copper solvent extractant depends on the specific leaching conditions and the desired copper extraction process.
LIX984N and LIX973N are both highly selective chelating agents commonly used in hydrometallurgical processes for the extraction of base and precious metals. The choice between these two chelating agents depends on specific process requirements and the properties of the metals being extracted.
LIX984N is more selective for copper and nickel, while LIX973N is more selective for cobalt and nickel. If the target metal is copper or nickel, LIX984N may be a better choice due to its higher selectivity for these metals. On the other hand, if the target metal is cobalt or nickel, LIX973N may be preferred due to its higher selectivity for these metals.
Other factors to consider include the pH and temperature of the extraction process, the concentration of the metals being extracted, and the presence of impurities. Both LIX984N and LIX973N have their specific operating ranges, and selecting the appropriate chelating agent is critical for achieving optimal extraction efficiency and product quality. Therefore, it is recommended to consult with a technical expert or conduct laboratory testing before selecting the suitable chelating agent for a specific process.

Boarding the bus
When your 'buggy friendly' bus arrives, you should lean the buggy onto its rear wheels, move the buggy forward and lower the front wheels onto the bus. You can ask the driver to lower the step if you need to. Do not try to board when the step is lowering, as you could trap your buggy's wheels between the step and the kerb.
 1. Make sure your buggy is in the special 'buggy zone' on board
 2. Apply the brakes and keep hold of your buggy at all times
 3. Never leave your child or buggy unattended whilst on board
 4. Don't hang shopping or other bags on your buggy, it could overbalance
When getting off the bus
 1. Before attempting to get off the bus make sure that it is not in the process of kneeling. This is to prevent your buggy's wheels becoming trapped between the bus step and the kerb
 2. Lean your buggy back slightly on to its rear wheels and move forward until the rear wheels are at the edge of the step. Lower your buggy, keeping it as level as possible until the wheels make contact with the ground
 3. Remember, you can always ask the driver to lower the step for you
There is limited space for buggies on board our buses, this can vary depending on the bus, the number of buggies and the size of the buggies. If there are already buggies on board the driver may ask you to fold your buggy. Please help us make the trip safe for everyone and don't block the aisles or exits of the bus with your buggy.
Currently, not all of our buses are 'buggy friendly', in which case, you will need to fold your buggy and stow it in the luggage rack. Don't worry, the driver will give you time to do this.
When a wheelchair user needs to use the wheelchair space
Wheelchair users have priority over everyone else for the use of the designated wheelchair space, since this is the only place in which they can travel safely. Non-wheelchair users, unlike wheelchair users, will normally have a choice about which part of the bus to sit or stand in.
Common decency and respect for wheelchair users should mean that other passengers make way for them. Passengers are urged to offer cooperation in allowing proper use of the designated wheelchair area.
If the wheelchair space is occupied with a buggy, standing passengers or otherwise full, and there is space elsewhere in the vehicle, the driver will ask that it is made free for a wheelchair user. Where a pushchair or buggy is occupying the space, the driver will ask that it is repositioned, moved to another part of the bus or folded and stored in the luggage space, where available.

Kenya's foreign policy strategy aims at deepening and enhancing social economic development and prosperity. This has demanded a robust economic engagement to secure Kenya's regional and wider economic objectives. Foreign Policy has been a key tool for enhancing development via economic diplomacy which advances the employment and wealth for Kenyans in a prosperous region. The specific objectives of this economic diplomacy are:
- Increase capital flows to Kenya by exploring alternative non-traditional sources of development assistance and foreign direct investment;
- Promote the country as a favourite destination for Direct Foreign investment, tourists and holiday makers;
- Expand access to traditional markets and explore new destinations for its products in emerging non-traditional markets;
- Enhance technological advancement by exploring new sources of affordable and appropriate technology;
- Accelerate economic integration at the regional and continental levels;
- Strengthen regional economic organizations, especially the EAC, COMESA to serve as competitive blocs in the emerging global markets.
- Promote just and equitable rules and frameworks of international trade.
Achieving these objectives has demanded strategic engagement on multiple fronts. Kenya has moved to transform regional organizations, particularly the COMESA and EAC, into viable economic blocs in an increasingly competitive global economic environment. The regional bodies are now focusing promoting free movement of peoples, goods and services. To expand market access, Kenya is exploring new frameworks, signing treaties, and reviewing and strengthening existing ones.
