Sleeping With A Blanket Overhead? What Does It Mean?
Meaning Of Sleeping With Blanket Overhead
Most of us have different bedtime rituals; however, we have this one thing in common, and that is, we often cover our head with a blanket when we are asleep.
For others, covering one's head with a blanket while sleeping may find it odd, but for most people, they love sleeping with a blanket over their head. However, what does it mean to sleep with a blanket overhead?
Sleeping with blanket overhead can mean a few things. First is that you may be cold, and covering your head with a blanket will keep you warm. Another thing is that you find the room bright, and you want to block the light by covering your head, and lastly, you just want the feeling of safe and secured by cocooning yourself with a blanket.
Even though this habit makes you feel comfortable and makes you fall asleep faster, it cannot deny the fact that it is dangerous for your health.
That is why you must know the health hazards it can cause you so that you can break this bad habit right away. Hence, listed below are the dangers of sleeping with a blanket overhead.
Dangers Of Sleeping Undercover With A Blanket
Blankets are used for protecting your body against the cold weather and sometimes, for insect bites when you are camping.
However, people find tucking their whole body from head to toes under a warm and cozy blanket give them the therapeutic vibe they need since it can help them manage their stress and anxiety.
Nonetheless, according to some experts, you should avoid covering your head with a blanket since it brings danger to your health, such as the following:
This can damage your brain
According to some studies, covering your head while sleeping can contribute to the causes of brain damage, and one of the well-known neurodegenerative disorders is so-called dementia.
Dementia, when it became progressive, may lead to another disorder called Alzheimer's disease. The reason why covering one's head may cause brain damage is that you have a restricted airflow to your brain since your nose and mouth cannot get enough oxygen.
Therefore, your brain does not get enough oxygen to function properly. When this happens for a longer period of time, the tissues and vessels in your brain will become damaged, which can lead to unwanted consequences, and worst it may cause death.
You may breathe in unclean air
Even though you are asleep, your body, especially your heart and brain, still need fresh air to function properly.
However, since your body is cocooned in a thick blanket, you cannot assure that the air you are breathing in is still clean since you created a tiny space wherein the air that circulates is fresh.
Therefore, there is a possibility that the air you are breathing in has dust particles, dirt, and bacteria, especially if your blanket is not clean. That is why some people trigger their allergies because of this bad habit since they breathe a dust-filled air particle confined only in that tiny space they created.
The risk for insomnia and other sleeping problems
Covering your head while sleeping can reduce the quality of your sleep, especially if you are a hot sleeper, yet you still love covering your head with a blanket.
You may find sweating or warm, and this can keep you awake throughout the night. Hence, if this habit continues over time, you may develop sleeping disorders such as insomnia, which is the leading sleeping disorder among Americans.
In addition to this, covering your head while asleep can also impair your breathing pattern since you have limited access to air, which can add up to the reason why you cannot sleep properly.
Greater risk for suffocation
Even though you find covering your head with a blanket at night comfortable, there is a specific risk this habit may bring, most notably to your respiratory system.
If you have underlying respiratory conditions such as asthma, heart problems, and sleep apnea, you may be at higher risk for suffocation since you have a limited supply of air inside your blanket.
That is why it is better you break off this bad habit, as this can lead to a greater risk of suffocation, especially for those people with lung disease when they cover their heads with a blanket while asleep.
Development of sleep apnea
What is sleep apnea? Sleep apnea is a serious sleeping disorder wherein there is a problem in the breathing pattern that can make you snore while you are asleep and give you the feeling of restlessness, even though you had a full night sleep.
The primary cause of sleep apnea is a narrowed airway circulation, which you can experience if you are sleeping while your head is covered with a blanket, as this can affect the quantity of air that can circulate on your airways.
It can lower your alertness during emergency situations
One major reason why you prefer sleeping with a covered head is to make it look dimmer and to lessen the noise or any kind of distraction that can hinder your sleep.
However, in return, you will be able to hear and smell right away if there is something that is happening around you, such as emergencies like fire or a thief trying to break in.
Therefore, to avoid such unfortunate events from happening, avoid this habit of covering your head while sleeping so that your senses are still alert, or you can be easily awakened when such things happen.
Instead of hiding your head to catch some good night's sleep, consider having a humidifier in your room to freshen the air and make the room set a vibe for sleeping.
Hence, you already know the hazards it can bring to your health if you continue sleeping with a covered head. However, on the other hand, there is one benefit this habit can do. You may continue reading it below to know more about it.
The Benefit Of Sleeping With A Blanket Overhead
While you may find this odd, there is actually one benefit this bad habit can bring. However, it does not outweigh the risks over this one benefit.
That is why it is better recommended to discontinue doing this if you have made this habit for so long.
The ability to breathe in warmer air
You might be wondering what benefit could breathe in a warmer air bring? Well, according to some people, breathing in a warmer air reduces the risk of catching a cold, and this is how it works:
When you catch a cold or flu, your body will start showing signs and symptoms such as having a sore throat, congested nose, and sometimes your ear might be a bit stuffy as well.
Since these body parts might become colder first before your other body parts, this means that a colder body implies a weaker immune system, which is the likelihood of getting sick.
Simply breathing in warmer air can help prevent illnesses and can keep your body temperature warmer. Moreover, breathing in cold air has always been linked to respiratory issues that cause diseases.
Therefore, you must break this old sleeping habit and just do these simple sleeping tips instead, so that you can still have that good night's sleep you get from that old habit. You can read more below to know these sleeping tips for a healthier and safer sleep.
Healthy sleeping habits for adults
Your habits during the daytime, and most especially before bedtime can affect the quality of your sleep since it can lead to a relaxing and healthy sleep, or a restless night.
That is why following a daily routine such as the food and drink that you eat, your schedule for the day, and lastly, the way you will spend your time before hitting the hay can greatly impact your sleep. In fact, just a few adjustments of time can make a difference in the quality of your sleep.
That is why some experts recommend completing this two-week sleep diary to understand further how your daily routine can affect the quality of your sleep.
If you have bad sleeping habits and you think that breaking of that habit can make your sleep uncomfortable, you should try these healthy sleeping habits to replace your bad habit and make your everyday sleep better and healthier.
Sleeping Tips
Try to follow these simple sleeping tips so that you can establish healthy sleeping habits.
Maintain a consistent sleep schedule
If you have established a sleep schedule wherein you must go to bed before 10'o clock in the evening and wake up at 6'o clock in the morning, you must strictly follow this schedule every day, even on weekends, or during your vacation.
In this way, your body already has its own body clock wherein you will automatically wake up on your own without setting the alarm.
In my case, since I go to work at 8'o clock in the morning, I wake up at five in the morning so that I can still have time to meditate before preparing myself to get to work. I need to go to bed around 9'o clock in the evening so that I can still an 8-hour full sleep since this is the recommended hours of sleep for adults.
Do a relaxing bedtime routine
Practicing a relaxing routine activity before bedtime, such as reading books or listening to classical music, can promote a healthy good night's sleep.
Moreover, these activities can help you set your mood from activities that can cause your excitement or anxiety juices to go up. Hence, catching asleep is more likely difficult since your mind and body are still active.
Avoid taking afternoon naps
Indeed, taking power naps for at least 10 to 15 minutes can get you throughout the day. However, if you have trouble catching sleep during the night, it is best if you eliminate taking naps at any time of the day.
Look for comfortable mattress and pillows
As we have been discussed on previous blog post that sleeping on a soft and comfortable pillow is the key to a good night's sleep; therefore, look for a pillow and mattress that will suit your sleeping position whether you are a side sleeper, back sleeper, or a sleeper who loves

1. Flowchart
Ever wondered how the counters in the Runner Component's displays are calculated? Below is a flowchart that formally shows how it works!
runner_display
Runner_Flowchart_mini
A flowchart of how a Runner handles incoming trigger messages.
2. Thread pool size
Internally loadUI maintains a pool of threads that it uses to dispatch messages sent between components which in most cases allows for better resource management than when allocating one thread per simulated user. There are a number of settings and behaviors to be aware of related to this when running your tests.
Global execution settings are set from the Workspace Settings dialog in the Execution tab:
workspaceexecutionsettings
The "Max Internal threads" setting controls the total maximum number of simultaneously running threads, increase this value if you for example plan to have more than 1000 requests executing at the same time (not in sequence). If you do not and your test for some reason requires more than 1000 threads it will simply block execution until threads are made available by allocating components. The "Max internal thread queue size" setting controls how many actions that will queue and wait for an available thread, additional actions (for example a request) will be discarded, this is to avoid running out of memory if some part of a test consumes all threads (as configured with the first setting) while others are still generating messages, etc.
Correspondingly this can be set for an agent from its settings dialog:
agentexecutionsettings
Increase this value here as well if you plan to run more than 1000 threads in a TestCase deployed on an agent.
Some Runner Components have settings related to how they execute, queue and discard trigger messages received from a Generator component:
webpagerunnersettings
soapuirunnersettings
(for the soapUI Runner these settings are available in the Advanced tab only)
By default both Runners will start up to 100 simultaneous requests (as can be seen on the "Running" counter on their display), any trigger messages received after that will be queued internally and dispatched as currently running requests finish (the Queued counter). When the Queue fills up to the configured Queue Limit setting, incoming trigger messages are simple discarded (the Discarded counter), the reason for this is to avoid running out of memory if a service simple cannot handle the number of incoming requests.
If you want your service to handle more than 100 simultaneous requests simply increase this value accordingly, but make sure that if you increase it over 1000 you will also need to increase the global Thread Limit described above, otherwise this limit will stop you from going over 1000 (since each running request requires one thread).

WA chopper crash caused by jerry can
A HELICOPTER pilot was lucky to escape injury when an inappropriately stowed jerry can caused his Robinson R22 to crash and flip during a cattle muster in Western Australia's far north.
Before the man began mustering on a property near Fitzroy Crossing on March 22, he had refuelled the helicopter from a jerry can and then secured the empty can in the passenger seat using the seatbelt.
He was climbing out of a descending turn to the rear of a mob of cattle and was only three metres above the ground when a gust of wind blew through the left door opening and dislodged the jerry can.
It became wedged between the seat and the cyclic stick, which looks like a joystick and changes the pitch angle of the rotor blades.
Despite the pilot's efforts to regain control of the helicopter, it crashed, with the main rotor blades chopping through the tail boom.
The helicopter flipped forward and bounced back up to about 15m above the ground before landing upside down.
The impact dislodged the top of the front dashboard and struck the pilot's helmet, but he escaped injury.
The helicopter was substantially damaged.
"This incident highlights the importance of ensuring all items are securely stowed," the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said.
"It also provides a timely reminder to pilots of the benefits of safety equipment such as a helmet."

The French village of Dijon, nestled in the Bourgogne region of France, is not only famous for its mustard, but it's a fantastic and large medieval city, filled with buildings dating back many centuries.
But it's also the source of a real mystery for me. If you walk around this huge town and admire the architecture, you'll find that it is almost exclusively buildings made of stone. But from time to time you'll see something like this:
Which are wood "half-timbered" or Fachwerk houses.
Although these types of buildings are the de facto standard in Eastern France, Germany, and Northern Switzerland – why are are few of them here? And why are they interspersed so spartanly in what are otherwise stone buildings?
It's one of the many mysteries on my list that I hope to clarify someday!

Takatāpui (also spelt takataapui) is the Māori word meaning a devoted partner of the same sex. In modern terminology, a person that identifies as takatāpui is a Māori individual that is queer, in other words gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender or transsexual.
The term is not new, but the application of it is very recent. In the 1980s, there was a desire for a label to describe an individual that is both Māori and non-heterosexual. The word takatāpui was found to have existed in pre-colonial New Zealand to describe relationships between people of the same sex. The existence of this word kills the conservative Māori argument that homosexuality did not exist in Māori society prior to the arrival of Europeans. Derivatives of takatāpui include takatāpui kaharua for bisexual, takatāpui wahine for lesbian and takatāpui wahine ki tāne or takatāpui tāne ki wahine for transmen or transwomen.

Repurposed Sensor Allows Smartwatch To Detect Finger Taps and Other Bio-Acoustic Signals
Software Update Could Add New Interface Capabilities
Thanks to new functionality developed by HCII researchers, smartwatches can recognize objects and activities by monitoring vibrations that occur when people hold objects or use tools. It could even be used to help tune a guitar.
A smartwatch can detect and distinguish a variety of taps, flicks and scratches by the hands and fingers, and all that's required is a software upgrade that repurposes the device's existing accelerometer, Carnegie Mellon University researchers discovered.
This functionality enables new applications that use common gestures to control the smartwatch and, ultimately, other objects connected through the internet of things. By monitoring vibrations that occur when people hold objects or use tools, the smartwatch would also be capable of recognizing objects and activities. It could even be used to help tune a guitar, with the smartwatch displaying the note transmitted as the guitarist plucks and adjusts each string. (Learn more in the video below.)
"It's as if you're using your hand as a detection device," said Gierad Laput, a Ph.D. student in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII), suggesting totally new uses for smartwatches. "The hand is what people use to interact with the world."
This new technology, dubbed ViBand, was developed by Laput and Ph.D. student Robert Xiao — both members of the HCII's Future Interfaces Group — along with their adviser Chris Harrison, assistant professor of human-computer interaction. They will present a paper describing the work at the Association for Computing Machinery's User Interface Software and Technology (ACM UIST) Symposium this week in Tokyo.
Normally, a smartwatch accelerometer detects when a person lifts an arm so the screen can activate, or sometimes to count footsteps. To do so, the accelerometer only needs to take measurements about 100 times a second. But when researchers increased the sampling frequency to 4,000 a second (4 kHz), they found it acted like a vibrational microphone. Rather than detecting sounds transmitted through the air, however, it couples with the body to detect bio-acoustic signals.
"ViBand isn't just a way to control your smartwatch," Harrison said. "It enables you to augment your arm. It's a powerful interface that's always available to you."
A ViBand-enabled watch can tell if someone is tapping on the forearm, or the palm or back of the hand. It can detect finger flicks, scratches and other motions. It can also sense if a person is holding various mechanical and electrical tools, such as an electric toothbrush, power drill or handsaw. Each body tap, device or activity has distinctive bio-acoustic signals.
To increase the frequency of the accelerometer's sampling rate, the research team developed a custom kernel — the core of the smartwatch's operating system. That's the only modification required and can be performed as a software update, Laput said.
The team developed several demonstration apps for ViBand, including using hand gestures near the watch to control its apps. Similar gestures could be used to control remote devices, such as lights, a TV or other appliances connected via the internet of things.
They also showed it could be used for object-aware apps, such as monitoring meal preparations or providing visual feedback while tuning an acoustic guitar.
Finally, the researchers propose an application using what they call a vibro-tag, which is a small object that emits inaudible, structured vibrations that contain data. A vibro-tag on a person's office door, for instance, might transmit information about office hours or alternative contact information.
This research was supported by the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, a Google Faculty Research Award and Qualcomm. More information and a video are available on Laput's website.

Neighbour discovery is an important process in device-to-device (D2D) communications. In cellular networks, D2D discovery signals are multiplexed with cellular signals causing in-band emission interference (IEI). IEI degrades D2D user equipments (DUEs) discovery range and cellular user equipments (CUEs) throughput. In this paper, a new discovery method is proposed by applying power control strategy. In this method, DUEs are arranged into two groups depending on whether the received power of a reference signal sent from the based station (BS) to DUEs is larger than a given threshold. A high received reference signal at a DUE indicates strong IEI which may be caused by the DUE to the BS. Then, Group-1 contains DUEs which cause low IEI while Group-2 contains DUEs which cause severe IEI. A new strategy to mitigate IEI is proposed for Group-2. Firstly, CUEs send scheduling information in predefined blocks. Secondly, DUEs estimate the symbols which are orthogonal to CUE. This will assist DUEs to boost their discovery transmission power, reduce IEI and improve the discovery performance.

3D Coach: The Most Effective Sporting Results Can Be Found In Another Dimension
Thursday, January 12th, 2012
It's only human to have good days and off days. And to most of us an off day isn't such a big deal in the whole scheme of things. But to a professional athlete these off days could spell trouble.
3D CoachIf bad days become more and more frequent and the machine of expectation that surrounds a professional athlete has them completely derailed, it follows that their performance is likely to resemble a train wreck.
And this could mean the difference between being re-signed for the next season or dropped from a team and potentially losing millions of dollars in payment and endorsements. So once their attitude and synergy has turned festy and poisonous – these professionals look for something different.
Traditionally when athletes completely miss their mark and their performance begins to glide southwards their first instinctive response is to do more of the same – and that is physical training!
As a former athlete I myself have been put through the 'traditional' avenues coaches and athletes favour in an attempt to either avoid or turn a bad situation around – and it is within this tradition of reactivity that lies the systemic problem.
More gym work, more kicking practice, more hours of the same training… more… more… more… more…
The issue may be a technical anomaly or a physical inefficiency or even a lack of performance history and focus, but the head-down bum-up more, more, more approach typically perpetuates the emotional baggage and tainting of process that comes with these performances: the sense of desperation; the sense of expectation; the sense of anxiety; and ultimately the sense of failure.
On the surface I can see the thought process behind this traditional approach. Let's face it, athletes are physical performers therefore focusing on the increase in physical response it 'should' in theory give them results.
3D CoachBut does it?
Stop for a moment and analyse this philosophy: if an athlete or group of athletes have just under-performed and experienced a poor result, irrespective of the cause, where is their mental and emotional objectivity likely to be focused?
Are they focusing on improving, correcting and moving forward? Or has the painful performance cemented in the mistakes made and the outcomes they delivered?
Like many dedicated humans their focus externally will be on correction, because that is what they consciously tell themselves, but in reality their mental and internal focus will be completely on the mistakes made and how NOT to repeat them.
If the mental focus is on NOT to repeat the mistakes, where are they likely to emotionally and cognitively end up? … Repeating the same mistakes… and thus perpetuating the cycle of poor results, uncontrollable emotions, and more poor results.
It was reported that the Australian Rugby Union team went from one of their poorest performances at the Rugby World Cup 2011 straight into a training session the next day, trying to put right where they had gone wrong.
So if rushing from the competition venue to a training session is not the answer – then what is?
The two main reasons many athletes and coaches rush to do something active (and in their model of the world 'actively' deconstruct their performance) with more physical repetitions is because:
1. Athletes associate action with physical action not necessarily mental action and feel more in control if they are physically 'doing something.' So this is feeding their emotions rather than their technical issues.
2. Historically, it is what athletes have done. It has been traditionally handed down from coach to athlete. When things go wrong get back on the horse and just do it again. The legacy continues.
The solution lies in the ability to analyse.
Rather than embedding emotionally anchored physical repetition and doing something just because you have done it before, a more effective approach is to step back and analyse. Just analyse what worked, what didn't work and how it can be mechanically corrected.
This level of objectivity allows an athlete to distance themselves from perpetuating the same result; to learn from the mistakes and to analytically correct the issues before they become embedded into their programme.
The 3D Coach™
The innovation of the 3D coach™ allows the athlete to analyse their performance in the following way:
First Dimension:
Look at their performance from their own perspective with all the emotions attached (associated to the event);
Second Dimension:
Look at their performance as another would see it mechanically, systematically and chronologically (dissociated to the event)
Third Dimension:
Once the athlete can see the performance for what it really was then they can see their performance from the perspective of how it would impact the long term outcome both corrected and uncorrected.
This process can deconstruct and reconstruct the event without the blurring of the facts with heavy emotion and allows the athlete to tweak and tinker with the skills without the fears associated with the past performance.
This all sounds very simple, and it is, but unfortunately under utilised. So the next time you or one of your athletes have an off performance, resist the urge to dive back in the gym and instead understand just where the improvements need to be!

The Art of Journaling: the Secret Weapon of the Elite Athlete
Friday, June 24th, 2011
Assess and Analyse – What are you Forgetting to Remember?
Historically people have developed the ritual of writing diary entries to keep a record of their feelings, their daily activities and documenting significant events for posterity.
For an athlete or coach, the disciplined and pragmatic habit of keeping a journal can be a vital tool when assessing performance, analysing strategies and developing an effective structure to their game.
Once you have initially set up a strong foundation by designing an order and sequence of recording specific information, the practice of journaling your career has far reaching applications.
In my first contact with a new client, I encourage them to start keeping a detailed journal and spend a fair bit of time in the beginning educating them on the benefits of, not just keeping a regular diary, but a journal that plays a key role in their Mind Coaching programme.
When looking back through journal entries with athletes where we have been working together for a couple of seasons, the results have been both prophetic and astounding, especially in those who have fully embraced the journalling ritual. It's so rewarding for an athlete to see, especially in some who previously wrote no more than a shopping list on a post-it note prior to our coaching relationship, the time spent reflecting on their own words in their journals is paying them back 10-fold.
The science behind this is quite simplistic: when we 'think' something or we 'commit' something to our memory, unless we assign it significant importance, it often becomes lost in the diverse, endless pieces of information and events we store in our minds. So the likelihood of us instantly recalling that specific memory when analysing or becoming aware of a cognitive pattern that could significantly impact performance is very low.
Think back to your last training session and try to recall everything you were told, you told yourself, you experienced and observed – how much detail can you truly recall?
Now think back to as little as one week ago or one month ago – how much detailed information can you recall from those sessions? I bet there are massive gaps in your conscious memory? What if the one piece of information that could make all the difference to your next game was lost in the chasms of your memory?
Detailing each session… each recovery… each thought process… each technique… and so on enables you to not only build an accurate picture of how you are going, what is and isn't working but also enables you to pick up on patterns and emotional triggers long before they become an issue. By creating an effective recording process you will automatically both search and recall in a specifically designed manner, highlighting both abnormalities and learning efficiencies.
The biggest benefit I see in athletes who journal is the motivational boost it provides. A regular read-through of their journal feeds them with instant feedback on how far they have come in such a short space of time. These chronological markers of success breeds greater success – see previous post on feeding the motivation engine for more detail on how this works.
Clearly the secret isn't only in the way the information is recorded but in the way it is deciphered too, so what are you forgetting to remember!

The Magic String Game #4 (Schnurspiel mit sechs W
Object: Remove the metal piece from the string
Difficulty: Level 8 - Demanding
Brand: Logika Spiele
Warning! The instructions are in German.
Colors may vary.
These games are thinkingand cleverness-games out of recycled-plastic. A magic string game consists of a string and several stones. These stones have holes of different dimensions. There are 3 different string games: with one cube and 2 rectangular solids, with 2 cubes and 1 rectangular solid and with 6 cubes and one rectangular solid.
The origin of these games was found in the distant Africa. Modifications of these were also found in Guinea and China and they are also used for the conversation today. The object of the magic string games is to transport the stones from one string to another, or to take away the string completely from the stones.

The IDLgrTessellator class is a helper class that converts a simple concave polygon (or a simple polygon with holes) into a number of simple convex polygons (general triangles). A polygon is simple if it includes no duplicate vertices, if the edges intersect only at vertices, and exactly two edges meet at any vertex.
Tessellation is useful because the IDLgrPolygon object accepts only convex polygons. Using the IDLgrTessellator object, you can convert a concave polygon into a group of convex polygons.
The IDLgrTessellator::Init method takes no arguments. Use the following statement to create a tessellator object:
myTess = OBJ_NEW('IDLgrTessellator')
See IDLgrTessellator for details on creating tessellator objects.
The procedure file
obj_tess.pro, located in the
examples/visual subdirectory of the IDL distribution, provides an example of the use of the IDLgrTessellator object. To run the example, enter OBJ_TESS at the IDL prompt. The procedure creates a concave polygon, attempts to draw it, and then tessellates the polygon and re-draws. Finally, the procedure demonstrates adding a hole to a polygon. (You will be prompted to press Return after each step is displayed.) You can also inspect the source code in the
obj_tess.pro file for hints on using the tessellator object.

Romantic relationship satisfaction relates to better overall health, and identifying factors that affect relationship satisfaction could lead to better understanding of romantic relationships. This study examined the correlation between benevolent sexism, a subtle form of sexism resembling chivalry and relationship satisfaction; gender, age, ethnicity, religious beliefs, education, and length of time were also considered as moderators. The ambivalent sexism theory, which posits that sexism is ambivalent and ranges from hostile to benevolent sexism was the theoretical framework guiding this study. Previous research indicated benevolent sexism may predict relationship satisfaction. However, there remained an important gap in the literature; the demographic variables above had not been considered as moderators in those analyses. Thus, the purpose of this non-experimental study using data collected from a U.S. sample of adults who had been in romantic relationships for at least 1 year was to determine if such links existed. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that benevolent sexism, measured by the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory did not predict relationship satisfaction, measured by the Relationship Assessment Scale, and none of the demographic variables served as moderators. Results were trending toward significance though, suggesting that benevolent sexism might influence women's relationship satisfaction. Further research using longitudinal, mixed-method studies of dyads is recommended to gain a clearer understanding of this phenomenon. Findings would make important contributions to existing literature and enhance social change by providing professionals and individuals with awareness of how benevolent sexist attitudes may affect relationship satisfaction.

Welcome to PicksGroup's PRCA Live.
The PicksGroup's PRCA Live (asset management) course looks at how we proactively investigate:
An incident, accident or near miss – all unwanted events
Methods and techniques for proactive investigating or assessing
Safety and risk models from around the world and the impact of human factors
Proactive maintenance, compliance, safety processes or systems and workplace barriers
Reviewing and understanding impacts of outcomes and benefits of knowledge retention programs
PRCA Live focuses on the opportunities to learn from near misses and the tangible benefits of continuous improvement.
PRCA Live encourages a combination of root cause analysis, continuous improvement, knowledge retention programs and interactive online course development, to reduce unwanted events at each level of an organisation.
Using communication and industry participation when creating timelines to identify near miss and potential hazards that may cause an injury, incident, financial loss, property damage or have negative reputational impacts.
PRCA Live collectively creates a strategy to ensure issue elimination and effective root cause corrective actions.
The system grows within an organisation and is driven by people, legislation, compliance and needs, not by theory and methodology alone.
A continual or continuous improvement program (CIP) is a planed ongoing process to improve products, services, or processes. These programs and process usually look at achieving:
- Small improvements over time.
- Large immediate improvements that may positively impact a business or process.
- Industry or business "ground-breaking" improvements that could change the way you and your organisation operate or even setting a new industry standard.
Some see CIPs as a given-process for management systems such as:
Business process management
- Asset Management
- Facility Management
- Safety management
- Quality management
- Project management
- Select tools and systems that clearly define roles, responsibilities and accountability.
- Make it available to all stakeholders. It is everyone's responsibility to manage their own assigned task.
- Train users – people won't use what they don't understand.
- Before we make a decision we need to be sure that our actions will not negatively impact the safety of people or create risk to the business.
- Consulting with stakeholders at different levels throughout an organisation with help you see a clearer, long term picture.
- Consultation will improve your services and create better relationships with your customers.
- Consultation will help streamline your business and cut down on waste. In turn this will save money.
- You have held industry consultation sessions and have information that will help you make an informed decision.
- Consider if you need to report any observations you may have made during consultation.
- Consider who you would report this to and how you will do this.
- Consider the impact of the information you need to report – what is the likelihood of financial or reputational damage?
- Consider privacy rules, company policy and legislation.
- Based on information gained through either reporting or consultation you will conduct an investigation aimed at highlighting root causes.
- Use your PRCA Live investigation pack and consider every resource you have.
- Whether this is a proactive or reactive investigation, the goal is to eliminate or mitigate future risk to people, property, environment or business.
- Use your PRCA Live tools to ensure both short and long term controls are put in place and corrective actions are carried out.
- Remember that a hazard, potential or a realised risk remains just that until you apply a corrective action. Don't wait for the investigation to be complete, if you can eliminate or mitigate a hazard or risk. If it is safe to do so, apply a corrective action as soon as possible.
- Record your outcomes and results, deliver them to the relevant stakeholders within your organisation and industry.
- Revisit outcomes, control measures and learnings.
- Knowledge retention programs and gap analysis will substantially reduce costs and help ensure compliance.


Finite solvable-extensible implies class-preserving
From Groupprops
Jump to: navigation, search
This article gives the statement and possibly, proof, of an implication relation between two subgroup properties. That is, it states that every subgroup satisfying the first subgroup property (i.e., Hall-extensible automorphism) must also satisfy the second subgroup property (i.e., class-preserving automorphism)
Get more facts about Hall-extensible automorphism|Get more facts about class-preserving automorphism
Any finite solvable-extensible automorphism of a finite solvable group is a class-preserving automorphism.
Definitions used
Finite solvable-extensible automorphism
Further information: Finite solvable-extensible automorphism
An automorphism \sigma of a finite solvable group G is termed finite solvable-extensible if, for any finite solvable group H containing G, there is an automorphism \sigma' of H whose restriction to G equals \sigma.
Class-preserving automorphism
Further information: Class-preserving automorphism
An automorphism \sigma of a finite group G is termed class-preserving if it sends every element to a conjugate element.

Other facts proved using the same method
Facts used
 1. Finite solvable-extensible implies semidirectly extensible for representation over finite field of coprime characteristic
 2. Semidirectly extensible implies linearly pushforwardable for representation over prime field
 3. Linearly pushforwardable implies class-preesrving for class-separating field
 4. Every finite group admits a sufficiently large finite prime field
 5. Sufficiently large implies splitting, Splitting implies character-separating, Character-separating implies class-separating
Facts (1) and (2) combine to yield that any finite solvable-extensible automorphism is linearly pushforwardable over a finite prime field where the prime does not divide the order of the group, and fact (3) yields that if the field chosen is a class-separating field for the group, then the automorphism is class-preserving. Thus, we need to show that for every finite group, there exists a prime field with the prime not dividing the order of the group, such that the field is a class-separating field for the group. This is achieved by facts (4) and (5).

As Queen of the United Kingdom, it is to be expected the job might come with some perks.
Fine jewellery, access to some luxurious palaces, and crowns a plenty all make sense for a monarch.
But one of the stranger things the Queen has in her collection is possession of quite a lot of swans.
The monarch still technically has the right to claim ownership of any mute swan which is unmarked and swimming in open water.
However, this right is rarely actually used and so while the Queen could own all the swans, she only really exercises the right on the River Thames.
What is a mute swan?
A mute swan is a species of swan probably most recognised in the UK. It's a large white bird with an S-shaped neck, and an orange and black bill.
According to Wildlife Trusts, they usually mate for life, but some of them will have numerous partners.
They feed on plants, like waterweed, and live on rivers, canals and lakes all over the country.
Who else owns swans?
So if the Queen owns the unmarked swans, who owns the rest? According to the RSPB and the Royal Family, there are two other owners of swans on the Thames.
Read more: Why does the Queen have two birthdays?
Essentially, ownership dates so far and no one else has challenged them, so it is classed as dating to "time immemorial".
It is also in place in law, by a statute which came into place with the accession of Richard I in 1189.
The Royal Family website also lists Abbotsbury Swannery as an owner of swans in the UK. Based in Dorset, the swannery is the home of the only managed colony of nesting mute swans.
The swannery has about 600 birds, and visitors can help feed them as they walk among them.
Swans were valuable commodities in the Middle Ages, traded by noblemen for their meat. Their feathers were also used to make quills, a practice which continued for hundreds of years.
Now, swans are not eaten and are a protected species.
Swans owned by the Vintners or the Dyers previously had their bills marked to distinguish them, but now a small numbered leg ring is wrapped around each cygnet.
What is Swan Upping?
Each July a traditional ceremony is held along the River Thames, called Swan Upping.
It's led by the Queen's Swan Warden, currently David Barber, and involves checking the health of the birds at various locations along the river.
Royal Swan Uppers wear a scarlet uniform and travel in traditional rowing boats along the river, with members of each of the companies, Vintners and Dyers.
The ceremony allows them to check on the health of the birds and means they can treat any injuries which could otherwise go unnoticed.
There's also an opportunity for education, and pupils from nearby schools are invited to meet the Uppers, and ask questions about the swans.
Swan Upping takes about five days and covers a stretch of river nearly 80 miles long between Sunbury and Abingdon.
The cygnets are checked, and marked under the watchful eye of the warden, before they're returned to the waters, with their parents.
In 2009, the Queen attended the Swan Upping for the first time in her reign.
During the ceremony, she is referred to as the Seigneur of the Swans. It was the first time a reigning monarch had been to the event in centuries, though Princess Anne had attended in the past.
In 2020, the ceremony was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the ceremony was cancelled, Barber said that the quieter river, because of the coronavirus restrictions, was giving the new cygnets a better chance of survival.
Barber is also responsible for arranging for the removal of swans from the river during rowing regattas to ensure their safety. He works with swan rescue organisations to make sure the birds are looked after throughout the year.

ISELIN, N.J., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In-depth interviews with top hospital and Ambulatory Surgery Centers' (ASC) executives revealed the many benefits of the stand-alone centers from both financial and patient-care perspectives in a new white paper sponsored by Siemens Financial Services, Inc. (SFS Inc.)
The white paper titled "Jewels in the Hospital Crown" reported that ASCs have emerged as a vital tool in the containment and reduction of hospital-related health-care costs. "The trend toward increased use of ASCs will absolutely continue through health-care reform," said Dr. Jane H. Thorpe, professor at George Washington University's School of Public Health and Health Services. ASCs represent "a best model for care that is safe and effective, both from healthcare outcomes and cost perspectives."
Executives interviewed at five hospitals that own or partly-own ASCs, along with interviews of additional ASC experts, revealed that surgery centers operating outside the hospital setting deliver multiple benefits, among them:
- concentrated use of equipment and staff
- reduced supply costs
- highly focused processes and procedures
- increased patient access to medical care, and
- an extremely high patient satisfaction rate.
The paper has just been released by SFS Inc. and can be viewed at _URL_ and deals with the challenges of fiscal planning while these hospitals continually strive to increase efficiencies and improve patient care.

Example of the Penalty Structure in the OVDP Process
The Criminal Investigative unit is charged with assessing the penalty structure. The structure itself is nonnegotiable and the examiner lacks discretion to make any adjustments. The following is an example prepared by the IRS:
The values of OVDP assets are aggregated for each year and the offshore penalty is calculated at the applicable rate (either 27.5 percent or 50 percent) of the highest year's aggregate value during the period covered by the voluntary disclosure.
If the taxpayer has multiple OVDP assets where the highest value of some OVDP assets is in different years, the values of OVDP assets are aggregated for each year and a single offshore penalty is calculated at the applicable rate of the highest year's aggregate value.
For example, assume the taxpayer had the following amounts in a foreign financial account over the period covered by his voluntary disclosure. It is assumed for purposes of the example that the $1,000,000 was in the account before 2005 and was not unreported income in 2005.
|Year||Amount on Deposit||Interest Income||Account Balance|
(NOTE: This example does not provide for compound interest, and assumes the taxpayer is in the 35-percent tax bracket, does not have an investment in a Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) and files a return but does not include the foreign financial account or the interest income on the return. This example further assumes that the taxpayer is subject to a 27.5 percent offshore penalty.)
Under the OVDP Process
If the taxpayer in the above example comes forward and his voluntary disclosure is accepted by the IRS, he faces this potential scenario:
He would pay $553,000 plus interest. This includes:
- Tax of $140,000 (8 years at $17,500) plus interest,
- An accuracy-related penalty of $28,000 (i.e., $140,000 x 20%), and
- A miscellaneous offshore penalty of $385,000 (i.e., $1,400,000 x 27.5%).
If the taxpayer didn't come forward, when the IRS discovered his tax and FBAR noncompliance, he would have to pay substantially more in penalties. The taxpayer would also be liable for interest and possibly additional penalties, and an examination could lead to criminal prosecution.
Outside the OVDP Process
The civil liabilities outside the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program potentially include:
- The tax, accuracy-related penalties, and, if applicable, the failure-to-file and failure-to-pay penalties, plus interest, as described above,
- FBAR penalties totaling up to $3,825,000 for willful failures to file complete and correct FBARs (2007 - $575,000, 2008 - $600,000, 2009 - $625,000, 2010 - $650,000, and 2011 - $675,000, and 2012 - $700,000),
- The potential of having the fraud penalty (75 percent) apply, and
- The potential of substantial additional information return penalties if the foreign financial account is held through a foreign entity such as a trust or corporation and required information returns were not filed.
Case Resolution in the OVDP Process
Assuming the taxpayers and the service can successfully negotiate all of the above twists and turns, the case will be resolved by a written agreement known as a closing agreement. The taxpayer will pay all taxes, interest, and penalties. In addition they will agree to abide by the tax laws going forward, and the matter will be resolved. As previously mentioned to date, $6.5 billion of tax revenue has been collected under the OVDP process and its predecessor programs. If an agreement cannot be reached, the taxpayer has the right to opt out of the program as discussed in the next section.

Remote Debugger Port Assignments
The Visual Studio Remote Debugger can run as an application or as a background service. When it runs as an application, it uses a port that is assigned by default as follows:
 - Visual Studio 2019: 4024
 - Visual Studio 2017: 4022
 - Visual Studio 2015: 4020
 - Visual Studio 2013: 4018
 - Visual Studio 2012: 4016
 In other words, the number of the port assigned to the remote debugger is incremented by 2 for each release. You can set a different port number of you like. We will explain how to set port numbers in a later section.
The Remote Debugger Port on 32-bit Operating Systems
TCP 4024 (in Visual Studio 2019) is the main port, and is required for all scenarios. You can configure this from either the command line or the remote debugger window.
TCP 4022 (in Visual Studio 2017) is the main port, and is required for all scenarios. You can configure this from either the command line or the remote debugger window.
In the remote debugger window, click Tools > Options, and set the TCP/IP port number.
On the command line, start the remote debugger with the /port switch: msvsmon /port <port number>.
You can find all the remote debugger command line switches in the remote debugging help (press F1 or click Help > Usage in the remote debugger window).
The Remote Debugger Port on 64-bit Operating Systems
When the 64-bit version of the remote debugger is started, it uses the main port (4024) by default. If you debug a 32-bit process, the 64-bit version of the remote debugger starts a 32-bit version of the remote debugger on port 4025 (the main port number incremented by 1). If you run the 32-bit remote debugger, it uses 4024, and 4025 is not used.
When the 64-bit version of the remote debugger is started, it uses the main port (4022) by default. If you debug a 32-bit process, the 64-bit version of the remote debugger starts a 32-bit version of the remote debugger on port 4023 (the main port number incremented by 1). If you run the 32-bit remote debugger, it uses 4022, and 4023 is not used.
This port is configurable from the command line: Msvsmon /wow64port <port number>.
The Discovery Port
UDP 3702 is used for finding running instances of the remote debugger on the network (for example, the Find dialog in the Attach to Process dialog). It is used only for discovering a machine running the remote debugger, so it is optional if you have some other way of knowing the machine name or IP address of the target computer. This is a standard port for discovery, so the port number cannot be configured.
If you do not want to enable discovery, you can start msvsmon from the command line with discovery disabled: Msvsmon /nodiscovery.
Remote Debugger Ports on Azure
The following ports are used by the remote debugger on Azure. The ports on the cloud service are mapped to the ports on the individual VM. All ports are TCP.
Connection Port on Cloud Service Port on VM
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteDebugger.Connector 30400 30398
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteDebugger.Forwarder 31400 31398
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteDebugger.Forwarderx86 31401 31399
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Plugins.RemoteDebugger.FileUpload 32400 32398

The Parliamentary Era in Chile began in 1891, at the end of the Civil War, and spanned until 1925 and the establishment of the 1925 Constitution. Also called "pseudo-parliamentary" period or "Parliamentary Republic", this period was thus named because it established a quasi-parliamentary system based on the interpretation of the 1833 Constitution following the defeat of President José Manuel Balmaceda during the Civil War. As opposed to a "true parliamentary" system, the executive was subject to the legislative but checks and balances of executive over the legislature were weakened. The President remained the head of state but its powers and control of the government were reduced. The Parliamentary Republic lasted until the 1925 Constitution drafted by President Arturo Alessandri and his minister José Maza. The new Constitution created a presidential system, which lasted, with several modifications, until the 1973 coup d'état. In the late 19th century and early 20th Chile temporary resolved its border disputes with Argentina with the Puna de Atacama Lawsuit of 1899, the Boundary treaty of 1881 between Chile and Argentina and the 1902 General Treaty of Arbitration.
The pseudo-parliamentary system was established in Chile following José Manuel Balmaceda's defeat in the 1891 Civil War. Whereas in a complete parliamentary system the chief of government is designed by the parliamentary majority, and usually belongs to it, the...

Research chair focuses on cancer prevention and detection
Dr. Ann Dorward
This past year, Dr. Ann Dorward was named Memorial University's Canada Research Chair in Molecular Signalling in Human Health and Disease.
Dr. Dormand's research emphasizes the value of the mouse as a model mammal for exploring three major themes: cancer risk, cancer progression and new methods for early cancer detection.
"Calculating one person's risk for the development of cancer is not a simple equation, it's influenced by both their genes and their environmental exposures over a lifetime," says Dr. Dorward. "Studying mouse models of human cancers help us determine which genes and which exposures are most important for the risk of developing specific cancers."
The Cancer Institute of Canada estimated 37,000 men and 33,400 women died from cancer in 2006 and the number of cancer-related deaths is projected to increase as a larger proportion of the Canadian population reaches an advanced age.
Dr. Dorward's research is focused on basic cancer biology and genetics, encompassing nutrition and pharmacological research in the areas of cancer prevention and therapy.
The Government of Canada established Canada Research Chairs to promote the highest level of research excellence at Canadian universities. In its 2000 budget, the federal government provided $900 million to support the establishment of 2,000 Canada Research Chairs in universities across the country.

How to get rid of maggots in your wheelie bin
Including all-natural ways to stop maggots in their tracks
how to get rid of maggots in your wheelie bin
Dmitriy Pridannikov / EyeEmGetty Images
Are you wondering how to get rid of maggots in your wheelie bin? A maggot infestation in your wheelie bin isn't uncommon, but it's also not nice. Luckily, there are ways to quickly and safely stop maggots in their tracks.
Maggots are fly larvae, usually of the common house fly. Attracted to food and other rubbish, you will only have a problem with maggots if flies have easy access to your waste and dustbins. If flies settle on your rubbish, they may lay eggs which can hatch out as maggots within 24 hours.
While maggots and flies can become a problem any time of the year, they are especially prevalent during spring and summer when flies are more active. Generally, maggots live for around five to six days before turning into pupae and eventually transitioning into adult flies.
We asked David Cross, Head of Technical Training Academy at Rentokil Pest Control and Natalie Bungay, Technical Officer at the British Pest Control Association, to give us the lowdown on what maggots are, what causes them and how to get rid of them for good.
What are maggots?
"Maggot is the general name given to fly larvae," David says. "Like flies, there are many species of maggot. They have a distinctive conical shape and typically cream or light brown colouring, with a dark mark on their posterior end which is a breathing hole. Maggots do not have teeth – instead they have mandibles that help them grasp food that has been broken down by the ridges on the exterior of their bodies.
"Flies lay their eggs on food sources to enable larvae to start eating from the moment they hatch. Over the course of several days maggots feast and prepare to pupate – where they form a hard shell and become a fly. Flies can lay a large number of eggs at a time, so maggots are often seen in large groups, but they have cannibalistic tendencies. One study by University of Lausanne found that even though fruit flies are vegetarian, they have been known to eat other maggots if one becomes injured."
What causes maggots?
"Flies have a relatively short lifecycle and a quick gestation period," says David. "For a large portion of their lifecycle flies exist in the form of larvae (maggots).
"While the odd fly on your premises is unavoidable at times, the presence of maggots can be prevented. Flies lay their eggs in places that offer the best chances of survival, as a result you are most likely to see them in large clusters on food sources such as decomposing organic matter. Keeping your home, garden and driveway clean and ensuring bins are regularly emptied will go a long way to preventing maggots from appearing. Rentokil has also developed its Mini Fly Box, which can be fitted inside food waste bins, attracting and killing flies using an insecticide, before they have the opportunity to lay eggs on food waste."

Are maggots harmful to humans?
"Maggots are a delicacy in many parts of the world. However, consuming uncooked larvae can lead to bacterial poisoning as there is a chance they could have come in contact with faeces or rotting organic material," David says.
"While their adult counterparts are commonly known pests due to their irritating nature and their ability to spread disease, maggots can actually help save lives. Certain species of maggots, that are carefully and hygienically farmed in laboratories, can be used to feed on rotting flesh to help clear out bacteria infected tissue from wounds. Around the globe this treatment has helped to save countless limbs from being amputated. They can also be used in crime investigations to help estimate the time of death of a deceased person."
Natalie adds: "[Maggots] can cause contamination of food products which in turn is a violation of the food hygiene regulations. Depending upon their food source, they could contaminate food surfaces too which may in turn raise the risk of food poisoning."
Does salt kill maggots?
"The lifespan of a maggot is between 15 to 30 days, so if you want to get rid of them before they evolve into flies, you can try covering their food source with salt to eliminate their access to water," David says. "This method tends to be effective when the pests are confined to a small area, however it may not be as effective in a more open space as the maggots can travel to find a new food source."
Are there natural ways to get rid of maggots?
"If the maggot issue is contained, there are a few options you can try to get rid of them naturally," says David. "For example, pouring boiling water over the problem area, drawing maggots in with a container of beer, or using a vinegar and water mixture to kill them, can work in some instances. However, as with most natural remedies, these will only be effective if you are facing a small infestation. If the problem persists it's always advisable to consult a professional pest controller. Parasitic wasps can also be helpful in areas prone to heavy fly activity such as landfill sites or slurry pits, as they will feed on the maggots. However, it is debatable how successful this is as a form of pest control."
Natalie adds: "Identify what the maggots are feeding on, clean/clear this up (along with the maggots themselves) and dispose of it in a sealed bag in an external bin. By removing the food source of the maggot, you will deprive any remaining maggots and they will not be able to grow or survive. Regular cleaning, good hygiene and vacuuming will help control and prevent."

What to do if you have a maggot infestation in your wheelie bin?
"As with most pest issues, prevention is better than a cure, so ensuring your bin is sealed and food scraps are covered in the first instance can prevent maggots from arriving altogether," David says. "If you do find your wheelie bin facing a maggot problem, you should arrange for it to be cleaned out thoroughly the next time it is emptied. Also Rentokil's Mini Fly Box helps to kill flies inside your bins, preventing them from laying the eggs which hatch into maggots."
Natalie adds: "Get your bin emptied and wash it out. Don't put lose food waste in the bin, make sure it is always bagged up/sealed so that flies cannot get access to lay their eggs.
"Remember, if you're having trouble with maggots that you can't deal with yourself, call in a professional. They'll be able to find the source of the infestation and treat without the risk of further damage. Qualified, audited and insured pest management companies can be found on the BPCA website."

From story above. If this shirt is relating to your life, please feel happy to order this shirt :
The color of an object American softball quilt bedding set depends on both the physics of the object in its environment and the characteristics of the perceiving eye and brain. Physically, objects can be said to have the color of the light leaving their surfaces, which normally depends on the spectrum of the incident illumination and the reflectance properties of the surface, as well as potentially on the angles of illumination and viewing. Some objects not only reflect light, but also transmit light or emit light themselves, which also contributes to the color. A viewer's perception of the object's color depends not only on the spectrum of the light leaving its surface, but also on a host of contextual cues, so that color differences between objects can be discerned mostly independent of the lighting spectrum, viewing angle, etc. This effect is known as color constancy.

Async I/O
Below are some of the points about async i/o which was explained by tom:-
DBWR must write blocks to the datafiles and ensure they get written. These blocks are protected by redo in the oneline redo log. Before we can reuse a redo log file, we must ensure that the blocks protected by that redo are safely and totally written to disk.
DBWR can do this in one of two ways. Lets say DBWR has 100 blocks to write to disk. It could:
for i in 1 .. 100
loop
write block X to disk and wait for the OS to tell
us the operation is totally complete (the block is
not buffered by the OS or anything, it is on disk)
end loop
As you can imagine, that would be slow. For each block, we would have to wait for the OS to tell us the block is written. If there was any contention on that disk (eg: another process was reading /writeing that disk), we would have to wait event longer.
Another way is to write the block to disk and not wait for the OS to tell us the block has been written. rather, the OS will "call back" to us and tell us that block X was written. The logic might look like this:
for i in 1 .. 100
loop
write block X and return immediately, don't wait
end loop
now wait for the 100 blocks to "call back" to us, let the OS
do its work and wait.
In this case, we give the OS all of the work we want done and let it schedule it as fast as it can. While it is off doing its thing, we are submitting yet more blocks to be written. We can get some parallel processing going on here and things go faster.
When the OS does not support async IO, we can use mutliple processes to mimick it. DBWR will use the slaves to do the syncronous writes and use many of them simultaneously.
When the slaves are done, they call be to DBWR just like the OS would.
Question:-
Hi Tom,
Now i understood about DBWR SLAVE process.
another question.
Accouring to your reply DBWR process is coordinator and SALVES are the processes which are doing real work.
1)Does that mean there is always DBWR SLAVE process in the database for DBWR process?
2)How many DBWR SLAVE process we can have in database?
I know there is DBWRnnn Parameter in init.ora file.
3)MULTIPLE DBWR SALVE process will distribute dirty buffers write to disk. Am i right?
Answer:-
1) No, if your server supports asynch IO then there would be no point having slaves for the DBWR process since slaves are used to simulate asynch IO
2) There is an init ora parameter db_writer_processes which controls the number of DBWR processes.The maximum number of DBWR processes is 10, most systems
have 1 DBWR but on large multi CPU machines it is set higher.
If you change DBWR_PROCESSES you should also configure DB_BLOCK_LRU_LATCHES. This controls the number of LRU (least recently used) list latches. It is recommended
each DBWR process have it's own list.
There is a seperate parameter for SLAVES called DBWn_IO_SLAVES.
3) Yes the DBWR or it's SLAVE writes dirty blocks from the buffer cache to disk.
Multiple DBWR are more efficient then SLAVES because the buffer cache is effectively partitioned such that each database writer process maintains a disjoint set of buffers. The allows the buffer cache processing to be parallelized across the available database writer processes.
DBWR IO slaves do not parallelize buffer processing because a single DBWR is used to allocate work to the I/O slaves. IO slaves I suspect will have a higher overhead
then multiple DBWRs since there is IPC communication between the Master DBWR and it's slaves which results in context switches.
Multi DBWR I believe divide the buffer cache into equal sized groups of buffers (working sets).
The working sets are assigned to the DBWRs in a round robin fashion which ensures each receives a share of the different pools such as keep, recycle default etc.
The number of working sets is defined by the number of LRU latches.
I have noticed that a recovery after a shutdown abort is faster with a single DBWR then with multiple DBWRs and I haven't worked out why yet. There is no appreciable
difference when starting the database with multi DBWR after normal or immediate shutdown.
Since I don't work for Oracle I could be completely wrong but hopefully Tom will comment on what I have said.
-------------
Synch I/O = Blocking I/O where a process waits (does not return) till the O/S completes the I/O
Asynch I/O = Non-Blocking I/O where a process does not wait for the O/S to complete the I/O, but rather continues with its processing and the O/s sends back a signal to the process to indicate the I/O completion.

Where The Fun Never Stops
EPISODE #104 – "WHERE THE FUN NEVER STOPS"SAFETY EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE – PLAY AND PLAYGROUND SAFETY PRO-SOCIAL EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE – RESPECTING OTHERS The Danger Rangers teach viewers and kids playing dangerously in the playground a lesson in play and playground safety. When Manderbill, the mad duck, places prizes in the playground in order to make children play extra-wildly so that he can harness their excess energy, he puts the children in peril. During the Danger Rangers' investigation of this situation, they are initially captured by Manderbill, but later manage to escape and save the kids with the help of the Junior Danger Rangers. Kids and viewers learn the importance of playing according to playground rules; remaining under adult supervision; staying in designated areas, and avoiding the street; not staying out after dark; using equipment only as intended; being careful, taking turns and not pushing or shoving; not getting in front of others when they are on the slide or swings; keeping shoes and socks on in the sandbox; and respecting and not taking advantage of others.

Secure Boot
An overview of Secure Boot in Debian
Ce billet n'a pas encore été traduit en français. La version anglaise est disponible ci-dessous.
Foreword
This blog post isn't meant to be a definitive guide about Secure Boot in Debian. The idea is to give some context about the boot sequence on the PC architecture, about the Secure Boot technology, and about some implementation details in Debian.
Short on time? Jump to current status of Secure Boot in Debian!
How does a system boot?
Let's start with how the PC architecture gets booted: once upon a time, the BIOS was responsible for locating boot devices and trying them in a configurable order. One would usually configure a bootable disk with a bootloader in its MBR (e.g. LILO ou GRUB), which would then check its own settings, and boot a Linux kernel passing parameters and an optional initramfs.
Things changed "a little" with the UEFI technology, aiming at replacing the BIOS (and at being usable on other architectures like ARM). The initial firmware comes with many more features, and with recommended or required settings, like the ESP partition (usually mounted on /boot/efi) which makes it possible to exchange data between the UEFI-level implementation and the installed system. Regarding booting, there's a boot manager implemented at the firmware level, which can be configured from the operating system (through the efibootmgr command or through some EFI libraries).
Here's a shortened efibootmgr -v example showing debian as the default operating system, with the standardized EFI/debian/grubx64.efi path that can be found in the ESP (which is a FAT filesystem, hence the notation with backslashes), and with two PXE-based fallbacks:
$ sudo efibootmgr -v
BootCurrent: 0000
Timeout: 0 seconds
BootOrder: 0000,0001,0002
Boot0000* debian HD(1,GPT,0d5445e2-92b4-4a31-9629-c6c796b3e07c,0x800,0xf3800)/File(\EFI\debian\grubx64.efi)
Boot0001* IBA GE Slot 00C8 v1381 BBS(Network,,0x0)AMBO
Boot0002* IBA GE Slot 0200 v1321 BBS(Network,,0x0)AMBO
UEFI-enabled firmwares usually make it possible to use either "UEFI booting" or "Legacy BIOS" (also called CSM).
Booting a Linux kernel with UEFI instead of Legacy BIOS usually leads to some extra information getting exposed through /sys, namely under the /sys/firmware/efi directory. In particular, the efivars.ko module makes it possible to access variables that are stored in NVRAM.
What is Secure Boot?
Secure Boot is a technology that makes it possible to check and possibly trust the boot chain. The initial firmware would check a digital signature on the bootloader; the kernel getting loaded and its modules would get a similar check. The idea is to double check that what is being run as the core of the operating system is the expected system, and that no rogue operations have been taking place. Having support for Secure Boot was a requirement for hardware targetting conformance with the Windows 8 specifications, so Secure Boot enabled devices have been spreading over the past few years…
Digital signatures are all good but who should a firmware trust? Given the market was mainly about machines getting sold with Windows, the firmware would be configured to trust keys from Microsoft by default. Some firmware implementations make it possible to enroll other keys, but that's not supported by all devices…
Until Linux distributions have designed and implemented a plan to support Secure Boot (getting a bootloader that can check and start a Linux kernel in a suitable fashion, and signed by a trusted key), the usual solution to run a Linux installer would be to fiddle with the UEFI settings, turning Secure Boot off entirely. This can be cumbersome, as some firmware implementations only show this option after an administrator password has been set…
What does the plan look like for Debian?
Secure Boot support has been in the works for quite a long time, and there were many design issues to iron out, including some infrastructure-side changes regarding digital signatures.
Here's a very quick summary:
 - A rather small and auditable component called shim is the initial bootloader. It gets installed into the ESP alongside GRUB: /boot/efi/EFI/debian/shimx64.efi. It ends up as one of the efibootmgr entries as shown in introduction.
 - This shim component is responsible for checking the actual bootloader, and loading it in turn (chainloading): /boot/efi/EFI/debian/grubx64.efi.
 - Then GRUB will load the Linux kernel, as usual.
The first step is the firmware→shim chainloading. Fortunately, only shim needs to get a signature from Microsoft, so that the machine's firmware can validate the shim component getting loaded. Being a minimal and auditable component means it shouldn't need to get updates too often, which should keep the number of roundtrips to Microsoft (to get a new signature) rather low.
The shim→GRUB chainloading is done if the signature on GRUB is validated against the Debian test key or the Debian production key (more on that below). Ditto for the GRUB→Linux kernel chainloading.
From a packaging point of view, these digital signatures are a bit of a nightmare: one wants to be able to build packages on autobuilders (on build daemons, or buildds), possibly in a reliable and reproducible fashion (see the Reproducible Builds initiative). That's why some modifications to the grub2 and linux source packages have been floating around for some time.
As of early March 2019, the state of the shim and shim-signed packages in Debian unstable was a bit complicated: the shim package was updated with new code while the matching signature from Microsoft wasn't available for inclusion in an updated shim-signed package yet… Steve McIntyre and Cyril have been working hard exploring various solutions allowing to get back to a set of matching packages (#922179). Some difficulties encountered in doing so highlight the need for reproducible builds on the one hand and for a carefully designed supply chain on the other hand. This is why the next section is focussed on the -signed and -template packages that are in place for the grub2 and linux source packages. As of April 2019, the binaries produced by the shim source package have been reorganized to match the setup used by grub2 and linux.
How are -signed and -template packages handled in Debian?
Quick look into GRUB
Let's start by looking at the binary packages produced by the grub2 source package. There are 48 binaries as of version 2.02+dfsg1-17 so let's only list some of them:
 - grub-common
 - grub-efi
 - grub-efi-amd64
 - grub-efi-amd64-bin
 - grub-efi-amd64-signed-template
 - grub-efi-arm64
 - grub-efi-arm64-bin
 - grub-efi-arm64-signed-template
 - grub-pc
 - grub-pc-bin
 - grub2
 - grub2-common
The set of packages to be installed would usually be decided by the grub-installer component of the Debian Installer; a machine installed with legacy BIOS could have this set of GRUB packages (taken from Debian Stretch):
 - grub-common
 - grub-pc
 - grub-pc-bin
 - grub2-common
… with grub-pc pulling the relevant tools in grub-pc-bin and both of them relying on the grub*-common packages.
On an EFI installation (also Debian Stretch), the set would look like this:
 - grub-common
 - grub-efi
 - grub-efi-amd64
 - grub-efi-amd64-bin
 - grub2-common
Of course, EFI is available on more than just the amd64 architecture, so the grub-efi package pulls the right grub-efi-$ARCH, which then pulls binaries and the common files.
Signatures for GRUB
All binary packages mentioned above are built on autobuilders, and contain no signatures. But some of them are special, namely:
 - grub-efi-amd64-signed-template
 - grub-efi-arm64-signed-template
 - grub-efi-ia32-signed-template
Those are indeed binary packages produced by the grub2 source package, but they are effectively meant to be the source package for the signed binary packages!
Let's look at the contents of grub-efi-am

Can you carry over negative equity?
Carrying your negative equity over simply increases your risk.
If you want or need to end your agreement early and change your car, you will almost certainly have negative equity to deal with – particularly if you have a PCP..
Will CarMax roll over negative equity?
A: If your pay-off amount is more than the offer for your car, the difference is called "negative equity." In some cases, the negative equity can be included in your financing when you buy a CarMax car. If not, we'll calculate the difference between your pay-off and our offer to you and you can pay CarMax directly.
How does negative equity affect a car lease?
Negative equity can affect a car lease in several ways. If you are looking to lease a new car and you have an existing loan on a current vehicle that you plan to trade, having negative equity means you have no trade value in your current — nothing to use as a down payment on the new lease.
Can I trade in a car that I am still paying for?
You can trade in a vehicle even if you still owe money on its loan. In fact, it's common for dealers to take care of consumers' old financing. They'll pay off the remaining loan balance on your trade-in and obtain the car's title directly from the lender.
How much negative equity can you roll into a new loan?
Then look up the trade-in value of your car at sources like NADA Guides, Edmunds and Kelley Blue Book and compare it to the payoff to see the difference. If your car is worth $10,000 yet you still owe $15,000, that's $5,000 in negative equity that could be rolled over into your new financing.
How can I get rid of negative equity on my car?
You can get out from under a payment you can no longer afford.Refinance if Possible. … Move the Excess Car Debt to a Credit Line. … Sell Some Stuff. … Get a Part-Time Job. … Don't Finance the Purchase. … Pretend You're Buying a House. … Pay More Than the Specified Monthly Payment. … Keep Up With Car Maintenance.
Do dealerships pay off negative equity?
Some car dealers advertise that when you trade in one vehicle to buy another, they will pay off the balance of your loan – no matter how much you owe. … You have negative equity of $3,000, which must be paid if you want to trade-in your vehicle.
Does Gap Insurance cover negative equity?
Does gap insurance cover negative equity? Yes. Negative equity is another term for the gap between what you owe on your auto loan and the car's actual value.
How can you avoid negative equity?
By paying more than your set mortgage repayment, you will reduce the size of the mortgage that much quicker. It will also save you thousands of pounds in interest charges. Overpaying can also work as a good defence against the potential of falling into negative equity in the future.
Can I get a personal loan to pay off negative equity?
If you're in a financial bind, another option is to go through with a private sale, then take out a personal loan to cover the negative equity. The monthly payment could potentially be more affordable, and once it's paid off, you're off the hook entirely.
How do I get out of an upside down car loan?
How to get out of a car loan and keep the carRefinance. If you have a high interest rate and your credit has improved since you signed for the auto loan, you may be able to get a better rate through refinancing. … Pay it off. … Make extra payments. … Make payments every two weeks. … Cancel any add-ons.
Is it bad to be upside down on a car loan?
Our opinions are our own. When you owe more than your vehicle is worth, you are upside-down, or underwater, on your car loan. This doesn't immediately spell trouble, but it can result in less financial flexibility and security. … The difference between the car's value and the loan amount is your negative equity.
Can you trade in a car with negative equity?
However, negative equity isn't much of an issue if you plan on keeping the vehicle long term. … But, negative equity can potentially pose a problem if you plan to sell or trade-in the car. If you sell a car for less than what you owe, you'll end up having to pay the difference to close out your loan.
How much negative equity will a bank finance on a new car?
If your current vehicle has $10,000 in negative equity and your new car costs $20,000, you will take out a $30,000 loan from the lender. $20,000 will cover the cost of your new vehicle, while $10,000 will cover the negative equity on your trade-in.
How bad does a voluntary repo hurt your credit?
A voluntary repossession will likely cause your credit score to drop by at least 100 points. This point drop is due to a couple of factors: the late payments that cause the repo and the collection account that is likely to result from it.
How do you calculate negative equity?
Negative equity occurs when the value of real estate property falls below the outstanding balance on the mortgage used to purchase that property. Negative equity is calculated simply by taking the current market value of the property and subtracting the amount remaining on the mortgage.

Throttling during email processing
Email providers use throttling to control the number of email messages that they receive at one time. If the number of incoming email messages surpasses a certain threshold that is determined by the email provider, the email provider might invoke throttling and drop the connection or reject additional connections.
The way that Pega Platform identifies and handles throttling depends on whether you use the Microsoft Graph, IMAP, or POP3 protocols to receive emails. For all protocols, no messages are lost or duplicated during throttling.
Microsoft Graph
Microsoft Graph sends an error code to Pega Platform when throttling occurs. The error code specifies the expected duration of the throttling. Throttling is also indicated by the Application is over its MailboxConcurrency limit error message in the log file. You can view the debug message this is throttling info for additional details, such as when the throttling occurred, the retry interval, and the email account that is throttled.
When an email listener receives the error, the listener stops reading emails on all nodes on which it is running. The system also pauses sending outgoing emails from the email account that is throttled.
The email listener continues to process emails that it already read before the throttling occurred. For example, if throttling occurs while an email listener creates a case from an email, the listener continues to create the case because the listener is not required to make calls to the email provider. The email listener resumes reading emails after the throttling period ends.
IMAP
Email listeners follow the same behavior as described in the Microsoft Graph section. IMAP does not send an error code when throttling occurs. Throttling is indicated by the Email Account <accountName> is getting throttled by the mail provider error message, or the javax.mail.FolderClosedException error message in the log file. If the email listener encounters this message, the listener goes to sleep, and then wakes up after the latency period expires.
Pega Platform provides a dynamic system setting to identify throttling. The DSS uses a standard template to evaluate whether an error message is indicating throttling. If you are aware of other messages that might indicate throttling in your application, you can change the value of the dynamic system setting. For more information, see Editing a dynamic system setting.
POP3
The email listener skips email messages during throttling and attempts to process the messages again the next time the listener wakes up.

15.10 - Optimized Method of Maintaining a Join Index During UPDATE Operations - Teradata Database
Teradata Database SQL Request and Transaction Processing
Teradata Database
Programming Reference
User Guide
Optimizations have been made for UPDATE requests that allow the affected join index rows to be located via direct access. For example, if an UPDATE request specifies a search condition on the primary or secondary of a join index, the affected join index rows are not reproduced. Instead, the join index may be directly searched for the qualifying rows and modified accordingly.
To use this optimized method (that is, the direct update approach), the following conditions must be present:
 - A primary or secondary access path to the join index.
 - If join_index_column_2 is defined, no modifications to join_index_column_1 columns.
 - No modifications to the join condition columns appearing in the join index definition.
 - No modifications to the primary index columns of the join index.
 - The following is an example of an optimized method for maintaining join index during an UPDATE request.
 UPDATE lineitem
 SET l_quantity=l_quantity - 5
 WHERE l_orderkey=10;
 *** Help information returned. 11 rows.
 *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.
 1) First, we execute the following steps in parallel.
 1) We do a single-AMP UPDATE from join index table
 df2.OrderJoinLine by way of the primary index
 "df2.OrderJoinLine.l_orderkey = 10" with a residual
 condition of ("df2.OrderJoinLine.l_orderkey = 10").
 2) We do a single-AMP UPDATE from df2.lineitem by way of the
 primary index "df2.lineitem.l_orderkey = 10" with no
 residual conditions.
 2) Finally, we send out an END TRANSACTION step to all AMPs involved
 in processing the request.

Kanchanpur –The ban on the operation of four-wheel vehicles on the Mahakali River bridge is in effect today also after the level of water flow in the river increased.
As per the measurement taken at 8 am today, the water flow in the river was 144 thousand 870 Cusecs. Four-wheel vehicles are banned from operating on the bridge after the water flow in the river is more than 80 thousand Cusecs.
The Indian side has been placing the ban on the operation of vehicles on the bridge once the water discharge level in the river increases, citing the age of the bridge. Vehicles have queued up on both ends of the bridge waiting for the water level in the river to decrease and for their turn to cross the bridge.
