Leopard cat activity is higher with increased understory vegetation in oil palm plantations, which seems to result in reduced rat numbers
Leopard cats are known to use oil palm plantations as a hunting ground for rats, and have been proposed as a possible biological control for rodent pests in plantations. Related to this, there have been questions raised regarding how understory vegetation management in oil palm plantations [many places consider these weeds and clear them] may influence leopard cat use of these sites. Finally, a study examines these unknowns.
A recently published study by Hood et al. (2019) showed that leopard cat habitat use is higher with increased understory vegetation. They also demonstrate reduced rat numbers with higher leopard cat activity. The authors suggest that the results indicate that how oil palm plantations are managed can affect leopard cat use, and possible rodent control possibilities. All these only possible with their manipulative experiments on understory vegetation management.
Curiously, there was no effect of understorey vegetation on rat numbers or rat damage on oil palm in this study. It could be that the rats benefit from more vegetation, but the higher activity of leopard cats in those environment leads to higher rat predation level, which nullified the benefits to rats. Neat if that could somehow be studied in future.

First Olympic Appearance: 1896 (men); 2000 (women)
by John Gettings and Mark Zurlo
It's impossible to put an exact date on the first weightlifting competition, but to give you an idea, ancient Chinese texts and Greek statues commonly depict the feat. Not much about the sport has changed since then. The winner is still the man—and finally the woman—to lift the most weight.
Women's weightlifting made its first Olympic appearance in 2000. Both men and women must complete two different lifts in this event. In a "snatch lift", the barbell is pulled from the platform to above the head in one continuous motion. In a "clean-and-jerk" the lift is done in two motions. First, the bar is pulled up to the shoulders as the lifter goes into a squat and follows that with a burst into an upright position. Once there, with the bar resting on their chest, the lifter must extend his/her arms and raise the bar above their head and wait for the referee's signal.
The maximum weights the lifter is able to successfully lift using both techniques are added together to determine the winner.
If you want to keep track of how much each competitor is lifting it's easy because the plates at either end of the bar are color coded according to their weight: Red 25 kg/55 lbs; Blue 20 kg/44 lbs; Yellow 15 kg/33 lbs; Green 10 kg/22 lbs; White 5 kg/11 lbs; Black 2.5 kg/5.5 lbs; Silver 1.25 kg/2.75 lbs; Record Disks.25 kg/.55 lbs. And don't forget the bar-the men's bar weighs 44 pounds and the women's bar weighs 33 pounds.
Men compete in eight weight classes, and the women seven. The maximum weights for each of those classes were new in 2000, therefore, each gold medallist automatically established a new Olympic record in their weight class.
The weightlifting competition at the Beijing Games will feature 170 men and 90 women and will be held at the 5,400-seat Beijing University Gymnasium.

ummy mwalimu waziri wa tamisemi, ummy mwalimu tamisemi, ummy mwalimu today, ummy mwalimu 2021, waziri wa tamisemi ummy mwalimu
Minister of State Office of the President Regional Administration and Local Government Hon. Ummy Mwalimu has instructed all Regional Commissioners and District Commissioners in the country to ensure that they manage the issue of students resting during the holidays to give children time to learn other social issues.
Minister Ummy made the remarks today after receiving policy directives from the Minister of Education, Science and Technology Professor Joyce Ndalichako who urged her to emphasize the issue so that the students can have some time to relax during the holidays.
Addressing the 29th Graduation Ceremony of the Education Development Agency (ADEM) Bagamoyo Minister Ummy said children should rest at home during the holidays so that they can help with chores at home, study religion and help run small businesses to help parents during the holidays.
"Now education has been turned into a business, children have been studying extracurricular activities until the holiday season, they are not resting, also parents contribute money for those extra studies, children do not pass for studying for a long time, so I instruct Regional and District heads to ensure "They are overseeing this," said Minister Ummy.
She said the government had set a time limit of eight hours, believing that students would be able to study in detail all the scheduled lessons for the day, so she urged the directors to instruct school principals to suspend extra classes until 2pm, Monday to Sunday. children, we destroy them by making them tired of reading all the time without finding time to rest.

Beware! Your Smartwatch Can Reveal Your ATM PIN
And here's why you may want to take it off…
Cyber criminals can easily exploit wearable devices such as smartwatches and fitness trackers to steal sensitive information like your ATM PIN or passwords for electronic door locks, according to a new research.
Researchers at Binghamton University have published the research paper titled "Friend or Foe?: Your Wearable Devices Reveal Your Personal PIN" reveal hackers who know what they're doing, it's surprisingly easy to steal access codes.
"Wearable devices can be exploited. Attackers can reproduce the trajectories of the user's hand and recover secret key entries to ATM cash machines, electronic door locks and keypad-controlled enterprise servers," said Yan Wang from Binghamton University in the US.
The researchers combined data from embedded sensors in wearable technologies such as smartwatches and fitness trackers, along with a computer algorithm to crack private PINs and passwords with 80 percent accuracy on the first try and more than 90 percent accuracy after three efforts.
The team conducted 5,000 key-entry tests on three key-based security systems, including an ATM, with 20 adults wearing a variety of technologies over 11 months. They were able to record millimetre-level information of fine-grained hand movements from accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometres inside the wearable technologies regardless of a hand's pose.
Those measurements lead to distance and direction estimations between consecutive keystrokes, which the team's "Backward PIN-sequence Inference Algorithm" used to break codes with alarming accuracy without context clues about the keypad. "The threat is real, although the approach is sophisticated," Wang said in the paper presented at the "11th ACM on Asia Conference on Computer and Communications Security" conference in China recently.
The researchers did not give a solution for the problem but suggest that developers "inject a certain type of noise to data so it cannot be used to derive fine-grained hand movements, while still being effective for fitness tracking purposes such as activity recognition or step counts".
Wang co-authored the study along with Chen Wang from the Stevens Institute of Technology in New Jersey.

Knowledge Discovery Metamodel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) is a publicly available specification from the Object Management Group (OMG). KDM is a common intermediate representation for existing software systems and their operating environments, that defines common metadata required for deep semantic integration of Application Lifecycle Management tools. KDM was designed as the OMG's foundation for software modernization, IT portfolio management and software assurance. KDM uses OMG's Meta-Object Facility to define an XMI interchange format between tools that work with existing software as well as an abstract interface (API) for the next-generation assurance and modernization tools. KDM standardizes existing approaches to knowledge discovery in software engineering artifacts, also known as software mining.
History[edit]
 - In November 2003, the OMG's Architecture-Driven Modernization Task Force recommended, and the Platform Technical Committee issued, the Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) RFP. The objective of this RFP was to provide a common repository structure to represent information about existing software assets and their operating environment. The goal of KDM was defined as exchanging information related to transformation of existing software assets. The RFP stated that KDM shall provide the ability to document existing systems, discover reusable components in existing software, support transformations to other languages and to MDA, or enable other potential transformations. The Knowledge Discovery Metamodel will also enable information about existing software artifacts to be exchanged among different tools. This will enable vendors that specialize on certain languages, platforms or types of transformations to deliver customer solutions in conjunction with other vendors.
 - The original KDM RFP is available to OMG members for download.[1]
 - Throughout 2004 and 2005 12 companies collaborated to prepare a joint response to the KDM RFP. More than 30 organizations from 5 countries have contributed to the development and review of the KDM specification.
 - In May 2006, the Team's submission—the Knowledge Discovery Metamodel (KDM) -- moved into the finalization stage of the OMG's standards adoption process. The OMG adopted Specification for KDM became publicly available (OMG document ptc/06-06-07).
 - In March 2007 the KDM Finalization Task Force finished the finalization stage of the OMG's standards adoption process. The formal KDM specification KDM 1.0 is available from OMG.[2]
 - The latest version of the spec was finalized in July 2011, making KDM 1.3 the most recent version.
 - KDM Analytics maintains open portal for KDM news, reference and education materials and tools[3]
Overview[edit]
The goal of KDM is to ensure interoperability between tools for maintenance, evolution, assessment and modernization. KDM is defined as a metamodel that can be also viewed as an ontology for describing the key aspects of knowledge related to the various facets of enterprise software. KDM support means investment into the KDM ecosystem – a growing open-standard based cohesive community of tool vendors, service providers, and commercial components.
KDM represents entire enterprise software systems, not just code. KDM is a wide-spectrum entity-relationship representation for describing existing software. KDM represents structural and behavior elements of existing software systems. The key concept of KDM is a container: an entity that owns other entities. This allows KDM to represent existing systems at various degrees of granularity.
KDM defines precise semantic foundation for representing behavior, the so-called micro-KDM. It provides a high-fidelity intermediate representation which can be used, for example, for performing static analysis of existing software systems. micro-KDM is similar in purpose to a virtual machine for KDM, although KDM is not an executable model, or a constraint model, but a representation of existing artifacts for analysis purposes.
KDM facilitates incremental analysis of existing software systems, where the initial KDM representation is analyzed and more pieces of knowledge are extracted and made explicit as KDM to KDM transformation performed entirely within the KDM technology space. The steps of the knowledge extraction process can be performed by tools, and may involve the analyst.
KDM is the uniform language- and platform- independent representation. Its extensibility mechanism allows addition of domain-, application- and implementation-specific knowledge.
Architecture[edit]
Knowledge Discovery Metamodel consists of 12 packages arranged into 4 layers.
KDM packages are arranged into the following four layers:
Infrastructure Layer[edit]
The KDM Infrastructure Layer consists of the Core, kdm, and Source packages which provide a small common core for all other packages, the inventory model of the artifacts of the existing system and full traceability between the meta-model elements as links back to the source code of the artifacts, as well as the uniform extensibility mechanism. The Core package determines several of the patterns that are reused by other KDM packages. Although KDM is a meta-model that uses Meta-Object Facility, there is an alignment between the KDM Core and Resource Description Framework (RDF).
Program Elements Layer[edit]
The Program Elements Layer consists of the Code and Action packages.
 - The Code package represents programming elements as determined by programming languages, for example data types, procedures, classes, methods, variables, etc. This package is similar in purpose to the Common Application Meta-model (CAM) from another OMG specification, called Enterprise Application Integration (EAI). KDM Code package provides greater level of detail and is seamlessly integrated with the architecturally significant views of the software system. Representation of datatypes in KDM is aligned with ISO standard ISO/IEC 11404 (see also General Purpose Datatypes).
 - The Action package captures the low level behavior elements of applications, including detailed control- and data flow between statements. Code and Action package in combination provide a high-fidelity intermediate representation of each component of the enterprise software system
Resource Layer[edit]
The Resource Layer represents the operational environment of the existing software system. It is related to the area of Enterprise Application Integration (EAI).
 - Platform package represents the operating environment of the software, related to the operating system, middleware, etc. including the control flows between components as they are determined by the runtime platform
 - UI package represents the knowledge related to the user interfaces of the existing software system
 - Event package represents the knowledge related to events and state-transition behavior of the existing software system
 - Data package represents the artifacts related to persistent data, such as indexed files, relational databases, and other kinds of data storage. These assets are key to enterprise software as they represent the enterprise metadata. The KDM Data package is aligned with another OMG specification, called Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM)
Abstractions Layer[edit]
The Abstraction Layer represents domain and application abstractions.
 - Conceptual package represent business domain knowledge and business rules, insofar as this information can be mined from existing applications. These packages are aligned with another OMG specification, called Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules (SBVR)
 - Structure package describes the meta-model elements for representing the logical organization of the software system into subsystems, layers and components
 - Build package represents the engineering view of the software system

Moving spheres from origin point to closest mesh/face/vertex
Bladetrick
 Share
Recommended Posts
Hello!
My scenario:
- An OBJ file containing several meshes (cube, cones, monkey head, etc) all touching each other
- A sphere (or more than one) created off to the side of the imported mesh.
My objectives are:
- Determine the closest point on the imported mesh from the sphere.
- Create another Sphere at that point.
The end result is a sphere on the surface of the imported mesh.
Before I started playing with Babylon JS, I had tried Three JS. I found a small routine that would do this. Now I'd like to do the same thing in Babylon. Here's the Three JS.
 // This function is called first. it accepts datapoint as a parameter. datapoint is the sphere that is off to the side of the imported model.
 function updateClosestPointPosition(datapoint) {
 var p = datapoint.position;
 var geom = partmodel.geometry; // cone.geometry

 var closestDistance = 1e9; // Don't understand 1e9 to be honest
 var closestFace = geom.faces.forEach(function (face) {
 var normal = face.normal;
 var va = geom.vertices[face.a];
 var vb = geom.vertices[face.b];
 var vc = geom.vertices[face.c];
 var pd = normal.dot(p.clone().sub(va));
 // move p -(pd - td) units in the direction of the normal
 var proj = p.clone().sub(normal.clone().multiplyScalar(pd));
 // closest point of proj and the triangle
 var cp = closestPointToTriangle(proj, va, vb, vc);
 if (cp.distanceTo(p) < closestDistance) {
 closestDistance = cp.distanceTo(p);
 closestPoint.position.copy(cp);
 closestPoint.position.y.toString() + ',' + closestPoint.position.z.toString() + ',';
 }
 })
 function sameSide(p1, p2, a, b) {
 var ab = b.clone().sub(a)
 var ap1 = p1.clone().sub(a)
 var ap2 = p2.clone().sub(a)
 var cp1 = new THREE.Vector3().crossVectors(ab, ap1)
 var cp2 = new THREE.Vector3().crossVectors(ab, ap2)
 return cp1.dot(cp2) >= 0
 }
 function pointInTriangle(p, a, b, c) {
 return sameSide(p, a, b, c) && sameSide(p, b, a, c) && sameSide(p, c, a, b)
 }
 function closestToSegment(p, a, b) {
 var ab = b.clone().sub(a)
 var nab = ab.clone().normalize()
 var n = nab.dot(p.clone().sub(a))
 if (n < 0) return a
 if (n > ab.length()) return b
 return a.clone().add(nab.multiplyScalar(n))
 }
 function closestToSides(p, sides) {
 var minDist = 1e9
 var ret
 sides.forEach(function (side) {
 var ct = closestToSegment(p, side[0], side[1])
 var dist = ct.distanceTo(p)
 if (dist < minDist) {
 minDist = dist
 ret = ct
 }
 })
 return ret
 }
 function closestPointToTriangle(p, a, b, c) {
 // if the point is inside the triangle then it's the closest point
 if (pointInTriangle(p, a, b, c)) return p
 // otherwise it's the closest point to one of the sides
 return closestToSides(p, [[a, b], [b, c], [a, c]])
 }

Is there an easy way to do this in babylon js or do i need to work on some conversion?
Here's the playground I started: _URL_
The playground uses two spheres.
Unfortunately I am not sure how to do this offhand.
Thank you for the assistance!

I ran through the documentation on facet data and used it to construct a function that seems to work for me.
function GetNearestPoint(currentSphere) {
 var nearestMesh, nearestFacet, facetPos;
 var projected;
 var distance = 0;
 var shortestDistance = _PHONE_;
 meshes.forEach(function (mesh) { // meshes is an array containing the mesh and its "sub meshes"
 var facets = mesh.getFacetLocalPositions()
 if (facets.length > 0) {
 facets.forEach(function (facet) {
 distance = BABYLON.Vector3.Distance(currentSphere.position, facet);
 if (distance < shortestDistance) {
 nearestFacet = facet;
 shortestDistance = distance;
 nearestMesh = mesh;
 }
 });
 }
 });
 projected = BABYLON.Vector3.Zero();
 var index = nearestMesh.getClosestFacetAtCoordinates(nearestFacet.x, nearestFacet.y, nearestFacet.z, projected);
 return projected; // use this set of coordinates to construct the newer/closer sphere
}
Thanks for the help, everyone!

This technique might be the single most effective non-invasive method for deactivating trigger points. So why isn't it used more often?
Spray and Stretch is one of those strange trigger point treatment techniques that is extremely effective, but somehow under-used. It could be because it's simply not taught widely nowadays, or that it's just somehow become unfashionable. I know from some conversations that I've had with colleagues over the years that it is sometimes seen as too simplistic to be taken seriously. So bearing in mind that we use the technique almost daily in our clinics, we thought we'd bring up the subject in today's blog.
Studies have Confirmed Positive Results
Hans Kraus (1941), who was the first to describe the technique of spray and stretch using ethyl chloride spray, used the technique for treating aches and sprains in circus performers. Since then, a number of coolant techniques have been developed to treat almost all trigger points. These often appear to have a myorelaxant effect within a few seconds of application. A number of studies have confirmed positive results. In fact a 1998 study (Simons) summarised this technique as the "single most effective non-invasive methods" for deactivating trigger points.
Ethyl chloride spray is highly flammable, toxic, and is considerably colder than is necessary. It is volatile and has even accidentally killed several patients and doctors. Vapocoolents, such as a Fluori-Methane spray, are a safer alternative, although being a fluorocarbon, it may affect the ozone layer. The recommended product (and sorry no, we don't sell it) is Gebauer's "Spray and Stretch", as it is nontoxic and nonflammable. Machine-based products, such as Cryonics CRYO+, are also gaining popularity. These products are far more predictable and controllable.
The Physiological Basis for these Products is a Type of "Thermal Shock"
Research has indicated that these techniques work partly on the hypothalamus. The rapid skin cooling challenges the autonomic reflex pathways and forces a local homeostatic response, which may have a therapeutic action. A skin cooling of the skin by 2–5 degrees is enough to cause this reaction. The following beneficial effects have been suggested in a number of studies:
- Allergy to cold
- Raynaud's syndrome
- Disorders of skin sensitivity
Simeon Asher demonstrates Spray & Stretch technique for the hamstrings
Spray and Stretch Technique
The basic spray and stretch technique is quite straightforward, as it does not require the same precise localization of trigger points as for needling or injection. Instead you need only locate and identify the affected host muscle to release its fibers. However, it is advisable first to locate the trigger point by palpation. Doing this tends to help reassure the patient as to the efficacy of this "unusual" approach.
Spray: This is a distraction for the more important second step. The spray is aimed out of the inverted bottle nozzle at 30 degrees to the skin in a fine jet over a distance of about 20–50 cm (aim at an area rather than a single spot).
Stretch: This is the therapeutic component of the technique. While two to three sweeps of spray are applied to the affected/host muscle, the muscle is gently extended to its full stretch length.
When to Use Spray and Stretch
- Young children
- Needle-shy patient
- Immediately after trigger point injection
- Post-hemiplegic—stroke rehabilitation
- Immediately following major trauma, e.g. fracture or dislocation
- After whiplash injury
- In a patient with myofascial trigger points and hyperuricemia (excess uric acid)
- Chronic or inhibition-resistant trigger points
- Attachment trigger points
Spray and Stretch Tips
- Locating the central trigger point which causes a precise referred pain pattern is recommended, as it gives the patient a rationale for accepting treatment. Make sure the patient has recently eaten, as hypoglycemia aggravates trigger points.
- Provide a warmish surgery/room.
- Use a blanket to cover the body and areas not being cooled, as muscle warmth is more conducive to muscle relaxation.
- Remember to cover the eyes where appropriate.
- Do not aim at a single spot, as this can burn or cause urticaria.
- Do not force a stretch.
- If the patient is apprehensive, ask them to focus on their breathing.
- Test the range of motion before and after the spray and stretch technique. Make sure that the muscle to be treated is fully relaxed and support it where possible—treatment can be performed sitting, side lying, prone, or supine.
- To achieve a full stretch, you should anchor one side of the muscle, and move the other (passively).
If you are not familiar with Spray and Stretch, we suggest giving it a try. The chances are that you will be amazed at the results. It's certainly not the only way to release trigger points, and it's not the best option in all cases but, as stated above, it is fantastically effective in certain situations, especially when treating young children.
We use Spray and Stretch techniques daily in our clinics, and details of these techniques are included in the NAT Anatomy of Pain - Trigger Point Master Course.

Ancient Granite Quarry in Aswan, Egypt
One of the first things we visited when we arrived in Aswan was the northern quarry, which contains an unfinished obelisk. Most of the granite that was used in ancient Egypt was mined from the quarries of Aswan and carried up the Nile on boats. It must have been extremely hard work to mine granite by chipping away at it with other stones. The day that we arrived in Aswan it was 114 degrees Fahrenheit (about 44.5 degrees Celsius), which made the thought of conditions that the ancient workers even more oppressive.
Looking Down at the Quarry and the Unfinished Obelisk
Marks in the Granite
The Top of the Unfinished Obelisk
The giant obelisk that remains partially excavated from the granite quarry is quite impressive to see. It was commissioned by the famous female pharaoh, Hatshepsut and would have likely ended up with the other obelisks in the Karnak Temple in Luxor. Had the workers completed the obelisk, it would have been the largest ever created, but a crack in the stone stopped work on the obelisk. It has remained frozen in time as the workers have left it for thousands of years. In the time of Hatshepsut, obelisks were meant to represent the rays of sun, a way for the god Amun-Ra (Sun God) to descent to earth. It was important that obelisks be constructed out of a single stone without any cracks, otherwise the gods wouldn't be able to travel through them.
One of the Finished Obelisks in the Karnak Temple
The Narrow Space for Workers
Walking Through the Quarry
Probably more interesting than the reason for the creation of the obelisks is the transportation and actual placing of the obelisks in their final positions. After carefully chiseling the obelisks from the hard granite, they would raise them up and transfer them to a ship where they would be transported, standing erect, up the Nile. It must have been an unbelievable sight to the farmers living along the Nile when the ship with its cargo reaching towards the sky when sailing past them. Then, once reaching their location, such as the Karnak Temple, they would have to be transported across ground to their final location, all without breaking these huge structures. It is truly a task to be admired, even in today's modern world.
Close Up of the Cracked Obelisk
People in the Background Provide Scale to the Obelisk
Ancient Quarry Next to City Buildings
Visiting the ancient quarry with its unfinished obelisk is truly fascinating and should definitely be on your itinerary when visiting Aswan. There is very little shade at the quarry site, so be prepared for the heat and bring plenty of water. Walking around the quarry will only take about an hour or two, so you should have another destination mapped out for before or after. During our trip, after leaving the quarry, we continued onto the island of Philae to see the Temple of Isis.

How to: Use Relative Time to Access Free/Busy Data
|How to: Use Relative Time to Access Free/Busy Data|
The IFreeBusyData interface in the Free/Busy API uses a concept of relative time, which is the number of minutes since January 1, 1601, expressed in Universal Time (UTC), and is a value of type LONG.
The following are some commonly used relative time values:

ULONG ulrtmMax = 1525252319L
ULONG ulrtmMin = 0L
Use the preceding maximum and minimum relative time values to help verify that your relative time values are valid.
Because NTFS records file times natively in FILETIME format, it might be handy to use the following code examples to convert relative time to and from FILETIME.

Create Custom Blocks
You can create custom Receive and Transmit blocks to use with hardware currently not supported by the Vehicle Network Toolbox™.
Vehicle Network Toolbox blocks use a custom CAN data type. To use the blocks you create with other Vehicle Network Toolbox blocks, register this custom CAN data type.
To use the custom data type defined in the Vehicle Network Toolbox, write a C++ S-function.
 Note: You must use a C++ file type S-function (.cpp) to create custom blocks. Using a C-file type S-function (.c) may cause linker errors.
To register and use the custom CAN data type, in your S-function:
 1. Define the IMPORT_SCANUTIL identifier that imports the required symbols when you compile the S-function:
 2. Include the can_datatype.h header located in[MATLABROOT]\toolbox\vnt\vntblks\include\candatatype at the top of the S-function:
 _TAG_ "can_datatype.h"
 Note: The header can_message.h included by can_datatype.h is located in [MATLABROOT]\toolbox\shared\can\src\scanutil\.
 3. Link your S-function during build to the scanutil.lib located in the [MATLABROOT]\toolbox\vnt\vntblks\lib\ directory. The shared library scanutil.dll, is located in the [MATLABROOT]\bin\
 4. Call this function in mdlInitializeSizes to initialize the custom CAN data type:
 5. Get custom data type ID using ssGetDataTypeId:
 dataTypeID = ssGetDataTypeId(S,SL_CAN_MESSAGE_DTYPE_NAME);
 6. Do one of the following:
 - To create a receive block, set output port data type to CAN_MESSAGE:
 ssSetOutputPortDataType(S, portID, dataTypeID );
 - To create a transmit block, set the input port to CAN_MESSAGE:
 ssSetInputPortDataType(S, portID, dataTypeID );
For more information on S-functions, see S-Function Basics.

Advertisements
Description
The java.lang.Integer.highestOneBit() method returns an int value with at most a single one-bit, in the position of the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the specified int value. It returns zero if the specified value has no one-bits in its two's complement binary representation, that is, if it is equal to zero.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.lang.Integer.highestOneBit() method
public static int highestOneBit(int i)
Parameters
i − This is the int value.
Return Value
This method returns an int value with a single one-bit, in the position of the highest-order one-bit in the specified value, or zero if the specified value is itself equal to zero.
Exception
NA
Example
The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Integer.highestOneBit() method.
Live Demo
package com.tutorialspoint;
import java.lang.*;
public class IntegerDemo {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 int i = 170;
 System.out.println("Number = " + i);
 /* returns the string representation of the unsigned integer value
 represented by the argument in binary (base 2) */
 System.out.println("Binary = " + Integer.toBinaryString(i));
 // returns the number of one-bits
 System.out.println("Number of one bits = " + Integer.bitCount(i));
 /* returns an int value with at most a single one-bit, in the position
 of the highest-order ("leftmost") one-bit in the specified int value */
 System.out.println("Highest one bit = " + Integer.highestOneBit(i));
 }
}
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Number = 170
Binary = _PHONE_

By 2020, there will be 1,000,000 more computer science jobs than students. However, nine out of 10 schools don't even offer computer programming classes. Let's fix that.
Computer programming is the new literacy. It is a vital skill for the digital age. Yet the Newfoundland and Labrador education curriculum is not keeping pace. Right now, high schools in Newfoundland and Labrador offer Webmaster, which is a basic introduction to HTML. The course is often considered an "easy" elective, and is taken by students who are looking for a high grade with minimal effort.
Other provinces, such as Ontario, offer education in computer programming as early as Grade 10. If Newfoundland and Labrador wants its economy to keep up with other provinces, it needs to step up and offer better education in computer programming.
Computer programming is an important skill for the next generation. Please consider reaching out to your MHA, or Minister Education Clyde Jackman. Together, we can bring Newfoundland and Labrador to the forefront of computer programming education in Canada.

So dear friends, I will give you the information about Ukai Dam level today in the month of September.
Before taking information about the live level of Ukai Dam, let's get some information about it like how much surface it has and when it overflows etc.
Know Ukai Dam live sapati information how much surface is and when the whole dam will be full
What is ukai dam?
Ukai Dam, built on Tapi River, is the second largest reservoir in Gujarat after Sardar Sarovar. It is also known as Vallabh Sagar. Built in 1972, the dam is for irrigation, power generation and flood control. With a catchment area of about 62,255 km2 and a water spread of about 52,000 hectares, it has a capacity almost equal to that of the Bhakra Nangal Dam. This place is located at a distance of 94 km from Surat.
ukai dam level 2023 today live
On September 2023, the current live level of the Ukai Dam is recorded at 342.17 feet.
|Est. Inflow (cusec)
|Est. Outflow (cusec)
A dam is an earth-cum-masonry dam. Its embankment wall is 4,927 meters long. It means the dam is 105.156 m high, while the masonry dam is 68.68 m high. The left bank canal of the dam supplies water to an area of 1,522 km2. And its right canal irrigates 2,275 km2 of land.
The fort built by the Gaekwad dynasty of Baroda was submerged in the reservoir. It can be seen when the water level in the reservoir goes down.
ukai dam high alert level
So friends, the water storage capacity of Ukai Dam is about 340 feet and when the dam reaches around 320 feet, the water has to be released.
Sometimes due to excess water inflow it is called water overflow ukai dam overflow, due to which there is a possibility of dam breaking sometimes water has to be released.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Ukai Dam Level Today
What is the Present Level of Ukai Dam Today?
As of September 18th, the water level at Ukai Dam measures approximately 342.17 feet, allowing it to store a significant volume of water, estimated at 105309.00 cusecs.
How Many Doors Does Ukai Dam Have?
Ukai Dam boasts an impressive 22 doors, each spanning a length of approximately 4,927 meters. These doors play a crucial role in managing water flow and reservoir levels.


the key is based on. These are separated by a comma. The key definition is made up of each of the subscript names in this file that form the keyfields for the file. When the library is called to open a file, if the file does not exist, or if it needs to be updated, a new one will be created. The function will read these subscript names that form your key definitions, and it will calculate the proper key position (KPS=) and length (KLN=) values. Then the create routine will use this information with the Index command to create the new key files.
 price.key, FARM
 price.ky2, ITEM
 price.ky3, FARM/ITEM/GRADE
 price.ky4, DESCRIPTION-U/COST
 recl=127
Notice that the third key is based on three different fields. These are separated by a "/". It is important that you use a "/" to separate your keys when you are building a key out of more then one field, because the function uses this "/" to help it make the proper BR syntax for defining complex key fields.
Also, note the "-U" at the end of the fieldname in the 4th key. This indicates that the "Description" part of that key is case insensitive. This translates to using the "U" on part of your key spec in Business Rules.
The file can have as many keys as you want. The function will keep parsing key file names until it reaches the next part of the layout. It opens any OutIn files with all keys so that any changes you may make to the data stored on disk will be properly reflected in all the key files.
The optional RECL= Parameter is read and used whenever a new file is created or an old one is updated. If it is not specified, the record length is calculated from the fields in the layout.
 ===================================================
The next line in the file is skipped by the parsing routine, and its purpose is to make the file layouts more readable to a programmer.
 FARM$, Farm Code (or blank), C 4
Following the file and key structure, the fields are defined. There are three parameters on each field definition line, and you make one line for each field in your file layout. The first parameter is the subscript name that you will use in your program to refer to this data element. Place a $ at the end of the subscript name for all string elements. Don't place anything at the end of the subscript name for numeric elements. Note that each of these names will be prefixed by the second parameter of the very first line of this layout.
The second parameter is the description. This description is for the benefit of the programmer, so when the programmer is reading the file layouts, (s)he can tell which field does what. The spaces are ignored, so you may include as many spaces as you wish to make the layout look good. It does seem like good general guidelines would be to limit your layout lines to 255 characters and your descriptions to 80.
The description is also used by the built in DataCrawler, a program that reads any of your data files and displays the entire contents in raw form in a listview. The Descriptions become the headings for each column in the listview.
Those descriptions are also used for the default captions for your fields if you use ScreenIO, a library for building GUI programs that itself builds off of fileio.
The third parameter is the form statement, which is pretty straightforward. Any items with a form statement of type "X" will be ignored, except that the length will still be used to calculate the position on disk of all remaining fields in the record. The library will take X fields into consideration when building the form statement, but not at any other time.
The fourth parameter is optionally a Disk Date Format. You can specify DATE(Julian) if you're storing your dates in Julian format on disk. Or you can specify DATE(cymd) or DATE(ymd) or DATE(mdy) or any other valid date spec here, and FileIO will treat this field like a date.
Your programs will still have to unpack it for you, fileio can't do that because fileio doesn't read the file for you.
However, the data crawler, the automatic updates, and screenIO, are all compatible with these dates specified in your file layout.
If the fourth parameter is anything other then DATE(format), then its treated as a comment and ignored.

Support for Dates
As of V2.48, file layouts support dates in any storage formats on disk. Whether you store your dates in Julian or in YMD or MDY or any other format, specify so in the 4th column of your file layouts, using the FileIO Date Keyword. ex: DATE(Julian) or DATE(YMD) or any other valid BR Date Format.
Dates0.png
When this is specified, it enables the FileIO data exploration tool (Data Crawler) to display the dates in human readable format. This works for both Viewing, and for Editing.
The new Date functionality also supports the File Layout Upgrade facility, allowing you to change the format of your dates on disk and FileIO will handle it automatically, upgrading the field to use the new date format for you.
It works also for Exporting your data files to CSV, and is supported automatically in the FileIO functions that do those exports. It converts the dates on export to a standard format (Default: m/d/cy) that you can specify in your FileIO.Ini File.
And it extends ScreenIO's date features to all date fields, no matter what format they're stored in. (Previously, ScreenIO's advanced date features only worked for dates stored in Julian on disk.)
This update adds two new ini file options:
CODE: SELECT ALL
DateFormatExport$='m/d/cy' ! Format of Dates when Exporting to CSV
DateFormatDisplay$='m/d/cy' ! Format of Dates when displaying in Data Crawler
You can use these to specify your preferred Date format for Viewing/Editing, and your preferred Date format for Exporting.
Remember, you can see the full list of FileIO ini file options, by looking in the source code at the top of FileIO.
There is a new optional parameter for all layout reading functions, mat NDateSpec$ and mat SDateSpec$ which correspond with the other arrays, to let you know which fields are date fields, so that you can develop routines in your programs to automatically pack and unpack the dates.
Important Note: Using FileIO, the reading of the data file is still done directly in your programs. So this does not change how your existing programs work. It does not unpack the dates for you in your programs. You still have to do all that.
For this reason, upgrading to the new Date processing will not break any of your current code.
Debugging Tips
When you're making new layouts, a missing comma can cause FileIO to parse the layout wrong and give you errors. Here are a couple tips to help ensure your layouts are error free before using them in your programs.
 - Use the Data Crawler to test your layout. The data crawler is the simplest way to test your new layout without writing any code. It opens it and accesses the file in a very simple and straight forward manor to help identify any errors in the layout that you might have.
 - If you have trouble with the form statement, you can't see whats in it because FileIO uses CForm$ to compile your form statement to make your programs run faster. But here's a way to tell what the original form statement was that FileIO generated when it put the strings first and numbers last in your program: Open the file in the Data Crawler. When you get an error, type "Print FormStatement$" to see the original form statement.
This works even if your file is working fine. Any time the file is opened with

Muskie math: World-record story just doesn't add up
Doug Arnold is a widely quoted University of Minnesota mathematics professor when it comes to applying math to everyday problems, such as the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot.
But can he solve the riddle of Louis Spray's disputed world-record muskie?
"The mathematics does not give an absolute resolution to the controversy," said the director of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications. "But in my view, it's unlikely the fish is 63 inches."
That clue could tip the scales against Spray, whose 1949 world-record muskie from Wisconsin's Chippewa Flowage has been challenged by an Illinois group. The National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame is reviewing Spray's record, which is why Arnold was invited to give his unbiased opinion on the controversy.
Arnold said he examined a picture of Spray that was sent to him by Scott Allen, a board member of the Hall of Fame. Spray's fish was reportedly 63½ inches and weighed 69 pounds, 11 ounces. The Hall of Fame recognizes records by weight, but critics of Spray's fish say photo analysis indicates it was much shorter than 63 inches, perhaps even 10 inches shorter.
That would mean the fish would likely fall short of the weight that Spray claimed.
Arnold said the riddle is matter of perspective, a fact he explains at his Web site, _URL_
He said it's impossible to determine the true size of the fish from photos without knowing some important facts, such as how far the camera was from Spray's fish and what type of lens was used. Arnold said a phenomenon known as "projective geometry" distorts the size of the fish, depending upon how far the camera is from it.
Projective geometry is a fancy name for a well-known fact among anglers: The closer the photographer is to the fish, the bigger the fish will appear in a photo.
Without knowing the position of the camera, Arnold said, it's only guesswork as to the true size of Spray's fish.
But Arnold said the maximum length of Spray's muskie could be determined by using simple proportion. Given that Spray was 6 feet tall (72 inches), Arnold said the fish's maximum size appears to be 63 inches, as it appears in the photo next to the angler.
But that would only be the "most optimistic" view, because Spray is holding the fish in front and away from him in the picture.
"Thus, the only conclusion we can draw with certainty is the fish is shorter than 63 inches, perhaps considerably so,'' Arnold reports.
Arnold demonstrates his case on his Web site by holding a 48-inch board in the same manner that Spray holds his world-record muskie. Arnold shows how the board appears much larger than it actually is. Arnold is 2 inches shorter than Spray.
Emmett Brown Jr., executive director of the Hall of Fame, based in Hayward, Wis., said he hadn't read Arnold's report and couldn't comment on it.
He said the Hall of Fame would make a decision on Spray's fish early next year.
Arnold, who lives in Plymouth and likes to fly fish for bass and northern pike, wouldn't speculate how big Spray's fish was. "But if were in an office pool, I wouldn't bet it was 63 inches," he said.
For a man who knows his odds, that's saying a lot.

Motor Cars / Trains of the Panama Railroad
Common labor traveled on labor cars converted from either 40' standard flat cars or from the old French 6 meter dump cars. The middle echelon American employees rode the passenger trains of the Panama Rail Road. The executives at the head-quarters at Balboa made their inspection trips using a fleet of motor cars.
Goethals had started his inspection trips each morning on the Panama Rail Road's morning passenger train. When the motor cars were built he had one reserved for his private use. This car also served as transportation for the important people who came from Washington.
The motor car became a commercial reality on the main line railroads of the United States beginning in 1905. William R. McQueen started building them for the Union Pacific Railroad where he was the Superintendent of Motive Power. By 1907 six of his cars were in operation on the Union Pacific.
The cars used by the I.C.C. were based at Balboa. They were weird and wonderful contraptions with the six cylinder gasoline engine's radiator perched on the roof. The passenger car body towered over the tiny gasoline motor housing and was styled in the best tradition of the previous century.
Because they ran on the Panama Rail Road they complied with the rule book requirements for designating a train They had marker lamps, sockets for flags for daytime operation designating the class of train, headlights, and a compressed air horn.

A trust deed is a legal document that creates a security interest in real estate. It transfers legal title to the property from the owner to a trustee, who holds the property as collateral for a loan. It is one of the most common types of deeds in the United States.
In most states, trust deeds are used for purchasing real estate. A borrower transfers the title to a trustee, usually a title company. The trustee holds title to the property as security for a loan, and the borrower regains ownership when the loan is paid off. However, unlike a conventional mortgage, the trustee is not involved in the arrangement unless the borrower defaults on the loan and the trustee is able to sell the property in a nonjudicial foreclosure.
Investing in trust deeds generally offers an attractive yield, with low risk and a long payback period. The loan is typically issued to borrowers who may not qualify for bank lending, and the investor receives a fixed, monthly return on the investment. The loan will mature when the investment is repaid, so it can be a good way to earn passive income.
A trust deed has several key parts, including the initial loan amount that the lender and trust beneficiary agree to use as collateral. The loan amount is generally the agreed-upon purchase price of the home, minus any down payment. Because this amount must be paid back, the borrower has a clear idea of how much money they will be able to borrow.
Besides using a loan as collateral, trust deeds are also used to secure real estate loans. While they are still not legal in every state, trust deeds are often used as an alternative to mortgages. They are still used in 20 states. They are a legal way to protect both the lender and the borrower.
A trust deed is similar to a mortgage, in that they create liens on landed properties. The differences between the two types of deeds are largely in their terms. Talkov Law is well versed in the intricacies of both. The difference between a mortgage and a trust deed is the trustee. If a borrower defaults on their payments, the trustee will take possession of the property and sell it to cover the loan balance.
A trust deed is similar to a mortgage but adds a neutral third party. The Trustee will hold the title to the property until the loan is fully paid. The loan will be recorded as a public record in the county clerk's office. In some states, a trust deed may be used instead of a mortgage.

A Moving Mesh Adaptation Method by Optimal Transport
 - 1. Stony Brook University
 - 2. Dalian University of Technology
 - 3. Université Côte d'Azur
 - 4. Weierstrass Institute for Applied Analysis and Stochastics
Description
Optimal transportation finds the most economical way to transport one probability measure to another, and it plays an important role in geometric modeling and processing. In this paper, we propose a moving mesh method to generate adaptive meshes by optimal transport. Given an initial mesh and a scalar density function defined on the mesh domain, our method will redistribute the mesh nodes such that they are adapted to the density function. Based on the Brenier theorem, solving an optimal transportation problem is reduced to solving a Monge-Ampère equation, which is difficult to compute due to the high non-linearity. On the other hand, the optimal transportation problem is equivalent to the Alexandrov problem, which can finally induce an effective variational algorithm. Experiments show that our proposed method finds the adaptive mesh quickly and efficiently.

mammals known for eating ants and termites
An anteater is a mammals of the family Myrmecophagidae and the suborder Vermilingua. Anteaters live in South America and Central America.
Temporal range: Early Miocene-present
Giant anteater
Scientific classification e
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Pilosa
Suborder: Vermilingua
Illiger, 1811
Anteaters eat ants and termites. They have long, sharp claws and a long, sticky tongue. The tongue can be up to 60 cm long, as long as a person's arm. The anteater opens an ant nest with its claws. Then it licks up the ants with its tongue.
Large anteaters that move on the ground knuckle-walk, bending their front toes under when they move the way gorillas do. Small anteaters that live in trees do not do this.[1]

Visual novels
Visual Novels are rather static games that do not feature a lot of gameplay, they are completely story-driven experience. Visual Novels focus on static graphics, sound and text that keeps moving and developing as you make choices that will affect the narrative. There are several ending options for most Visual Novels and you can reach each of them by altering the storyline once you are required to make a choice in the game. Your choices can do both lead you through the story in different plots or make you face the bad ending and you will have to replay. Visual Novels originated in Japan and most of the examples of them are anime-like.
As there are many different options and a lot of scenarios the novel can take once you start making choices, the games are likely to be huge (in terms of possibilities). The game takes the direction you choose. What will you do? It's up to you only.

Horton Hears a Who!
Horton Hears a Who!
by Dr. Seuss
The Clover
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
Right of the bat in Horton Hears a Who!, Horton starts hearing voices coming from a speck of dust. He's flabbergasted at first (how could a whole town fit on that little speck?!) but soon comes to accept them for how they are. Of course, the other animals in the Jungle of Nool have a harder time accepting that there are folks out there who could live in a different place and in a different way than they do.
Also, come on. People hearing voices? Isn't there a name for that sort of thing?
In any case, we can think about this speck (and Who-ville as a whole) through the lens of both historical allegories.
 - During World War II, the Japanese were considered the enemy, to the point that many Japanese-Americans ended up in internment camps. Just like the jungle animals don't consider the Whos to be people (namely because they don't think they exist), Americans treated the Japanese like second-class citizens—and then some.
 - During the Cold War, the enemy—communists—couldn't really be seen since they were literally thousands of miles away. But that didn't stop Americans from freaking out about them. In fact, maybe they were even more feared because they couldn't be seen and understood.
Even without the historical lens, the tiny clover serves as an important reminder: not everything is done—or seen—the same way for everyone. And our buddy Horton definitely gets it.

Adding Custom Object Actions
We're nearly ready with the application, but there are two more functions that we need to implement. In the Virtual Host model we have a Boolean flag that indicates whether the host is the default. This information is also conveniently displayed in the listing. However, if we want to change it, we have to navigate to the object's edit page and change the setting there. It would be nice if this could be done from the object-list screen, by just selecting the appropriate object and using an...
Adding New Records
This is the functionality that requires user input. Since our model is fairly simple, there are only a few fields to fill in, specifically the IP address, network size, and description. A parent tree node will be automatically assigned depending on where the user is when clicking the Add link. For example, if the user navigates to and clicks an Add New IP link, the new record will automatically get 192.168.0.1 24 as a parent. There are two ways of handling data input in Django the hard way and...
Amazon Machine Images and Instances
The Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is the image of the operating system that can be started. The image contains all the packages that are required to run your system. You can have as many AMIs as you need. For example, if you wanted to replicate the two-tier web system that we described earlier, you would create two types of AMIs a web server AMI and a database AMI. The web server AMI would have the Apache web server and the Apache Tomcat application server packages installed. The database AMI...
Checking the MySQL Version
The very first check you may need to perform is the MySQL version number. It's quite important to keep your server installation up to date. Every new release fixes server software bugs and potentially introduces performance improvements. The plug-in that checks the current MySQL version bases its decision on the latest generally available (GA) release version number, which is available on the MySQL download page at http mysql. com downloads mysql . To extract this information from the web page,...
Checking Whether the Address Is In
Let's implement a simple function that checks whether the IP address is in use. To do so, we need to send an ICMP ECHO message to the IP address and wait for the response. Strictly speaking, this is not a valid test to check if address is in use, because there might be few scenarios when the IP address is used but does not respond to a ping request. Firewalls might be preventing ICMP traffic, or that traffic might be blocked at the server level. In most cases, however, this simple test is very...
Converting WSDL Schema to Python Helper Module
So far you have learned about the SOAP protocol (an XML-based protocol that defines how messages are encapsulated), RPC's way of communication (the client sends a message that tells what function it wants the server to execute, and the server responds with a message that contains the data generated by the remote function) and WSDL (the language that defines what methods are available and what data types are used in requests responses). We also decided that we are going to generate two helper...
Defining the Database Model
Before proceeding, please look back at Table 3-1 to review the fields we are going to use in the data model. Because Django maps objects to a relational database and does so automatically, we need to create a class definition for every concept that we are using in the application, which will be mapped to the tables in the database. We only have one table, so let's define the class for it as shown in Listing 3-2. Add this code to your models. py file just below the default contents. Listing 3-2....

Extending the Design and Requirements
I mentioned support for DHCP as a requirement in the previous chapter, but what do we really want from it Let's take a look at how DHCP is used in a typical organization. I will assume the ISC DHCP service, which is widely available with most Linux distributions. When assigning addresses on a subnet, we have the following options Assign the IP addresses statically, in which case we configure each device with its own IP address. Assign the IP addresses dynamically, depending on a set of rules...
Format of Apache Log Files
The format of a log file is defined by the LogFormat directive in the Apache configuration file, which is typically either etc apache2 apache2.conf or etc httpd conf httpd.conf, depending on your Linux distribution. Here is an example LogFormat h l u t r > s b Referer i User-Agent i combined This configuration line is split into three parts. First is the directive name. The second part is the format string that defines the structure of the log line. We'll come back to the format string...
Generating the Configuration File
We've finished adjusting the administration interface, so it is now ready for adding new Virtual Hosts and managing the existing database entries. Now we need to finish writing the view method that will display the information. There is one issue though the parent directives mimic the XML syntax. That is, they have opening and closing elements. The default string representation that we've written for the VHostDirective model class takes care of the opening element, but we also need to write a...

I recommend that you download and use the latest Django code release from www.djangoproject .com.

The GeoIP database libraries are written in C, but there are Python bindings available as well. The packages are available on most Linux platforms. For example, on a Fedora system, run the following command to install these libraries sudo yum install GeoIP GeoIP-python This will install the C libraries along with the helper tools and the Python bindings. The package may include the initial database that contains the IP-to-country mapping data, but most likely, this data will be out of date, as...
Logpattern log Bzlogpattern logbz
The filename pattern is stored in the global variable OPTIONS.file_pattern. By default this is set to an empty string and so it will match all file names. This variable is controlled by the command-line parsing class, which I'm going to talk about later in the chapter. For the time being, just note that it can be set to any value by using the -p or --pattern option. I need to create a list of directories and all subdirectories recursively so that I can search for the log files in them. Users...
Plotting Performance Graphs
We've been referencing the images, but we haven't created any graphs yet. In this section, we'll look at the function that reads the data from our database and generates individual images for every possible host probe timescale combination. As you've seen, these images can be combined by multiple criteria. In this example, we group them by their timescale value and probe name. In addition to the simple data plotting, our function will also calculate some statistical parameters for the dataset...
Querying the Configuration Variables
You don't really need to connect to any of the databases if you want to retrieve the server configuration or the system status variables. It's enough to establish a connection to the database server. To get the MySQL variables, we will need to use the MySQL SHOW statement. Its syntax is similar to the SELECT statement, where you are allowed to use the LIKE and WHERE modifiers to limit the query set. (Remember that there are 287 configuration settings and 291 status variables ) We'll start with...

IBM SPSS Data Collection – Adding statistical tests
Data & Statistics See all news
Statistical tests often need to be performed on survey data to test for differences between various sub-populations.
Today we are going to focus on the "comparison test of column proportions" ("column versus column"), but the same principle also applies to other tests such as the "comparison test of means" for example.
In "Unicom Intelligence (formerly IBM SPSS Data Collection)", there are multiple ways to specify this test (we will put aside issues to do with the statistical validity of performing multiple tests without prior hypotheses).
One method is to specify the test in the general settings of the MRS file and it will automatically be applied to all tables:
With TableDoc.Default
 With .Statistics
 .Add("ColumnProportions")
 .ColumnProportions.SigLevel = 5

 End With
End With
(Note: this is to test at the 5% significance level)
The test can also specify it for a particular table. For example:
With TableDoc.Tables
 .AddNew("Table1","sexe * q1","Test stat 1")
 .Table1.Statistics.Add("ColumnProportions")
 .Table1.Statistics.ColumnProportions.SigLevel = 5
End With
This produces a table like the one below:
By default, the statistical test was applied automatically to all columns not of type "base" but tables can be customised. We might not want, for example, to apply the test to the "Other Brand" column (letter D in the example above) and apply it instead to the "Total" column, which is an element of type "base".
One way to do this, is to specify the table as follows:
With TableDoc.Tables
 .AddNew("Table1","sexe * q1","Test stat 1")
 .Table1.Statistics.Add("ColumnProportions")
 .Table1.Statistics.ColumnProportions.SigLevel = 5
 .Table1.Statistics.ColumnIDs = "ZABC."
 .Table1.Statistics.TestColumns = "Z/A/B/C"
End With
(Note: the column IDs are assigned in order with "full-stop" used to specify the column to be excluded from the test)
This produces the following table:
But what happens if we want to apply the same rule to all the tables specified in our MRS file? Unfortunately this is not possible! The "ColumnIDs" and "TestColumns" options are not available in the general parameters of the tables. We must therefore add the parameters to the definition of each of the tables, which is a bit cumbersome.
However, there is a useful trick to save some time: a loop can be used on the defined tables to automatically apply the required parameters to "ColumnIDs" and "TestColumns".
Here's an example, which can be placed just before filling the tables "Populate ()
Dim MyTable
For Each MyTable in TableDoc.Tables
 MyTable.Statistics.ColumnIDs = "ZABC."
 MyTable.Statistics.TestColumns = "Z/A/B/C"
Next
Quite a time saver! 😉

A New 'Meme' Cryptocurrency Named Şeyma Subaşı Released
Another example from our country has been added to crypto coins in the 'meme coin' class. A crypto currency named 'Seyma Subasi' took its place on a small cryptocurrency exchange. It is not known exactly who took the money and why.
Same cornerAnother example from Turkey has been added to the 's. With his personal life, especially on social media, By Şeyma Subaşı A new cryptocurrency was launched. 'PooCoinThe coin, which can be viewed on the site ', is already on the rise. It is unknown who the shooter was.
After a coin and a token issued in the name of Sedat Peker, which are the most famous examples of the concept of 'meme coin' in our country, a crypto currency was issued under the name of another famous name. 'SYMS' According to a claim made on Twitter about the money listed with the abbreviation 'Seyma Subasi', It was issued for the purpose of collecting aid for students..
