VMware
Setting Custom Attributes in VMware programtically
If you have more than a few VMs in your ESX environment, you have already found a need to properly organize the VMs with folders and hierarchies. However, this structure goes away when you view all the VMs in your datacenter, making your carefully created tree structure useless.
The good news is that VMware has a "Custom Attribute" option for each VM. Displayed next to the Notes field, this allows you to define attributes like Customer, Department, Owner, Production Status or anything else you can imagine to tag every system in your environment. The question is – how to do this without manually typing in the attribute for each VM: and in comes powershell.
Assuming you want to create an attribute to match your folder structure, you can use the Get-Vm -Location powershell command to retrieve a list of all VMs in a folder (and sub folders). Pipe this output into the Set-CustomField command and let the computer do the work for you. An example of this is below
Get-Vm -Location 'App X' | Set-CustomField -Name 'System Function' -Value 'App X'
You can use other switches with Get-Vm to filter on name, datastores, host servers, and other options.

How-To Geek
3 Easy Ways to Connect to Windows Shared Folders from Linux
Connecting to file servers is something most people do on a daily basis even without thinking about it. In Linux, it may not be intuitive how to quickly connect to a samba or ftp server without a separate program. Here are a few different ways to connect to a remote file server without needing to touch a terminal.
Using Keyboard Shortcut
You can connect to a server by opening the run application window with the Alt+F2 keyboard shortcut. You will just need to specify the server type by adding the protocol at the beginning of the command. For example smb:// will connect to a samba share; other supported protocols are ssh, ftp, sftp, http, and https.
Note: In the example below my server name is playground and the shared folder is called music.
If your server requires a password to connect, fill out the next window that pops up and select how long you would like it to store your password.
A Nautilus window will automatically open with the server you just connected to, and you should have a shortcut under places on the left side and a shortcut on your desktop.
From GNOME Menu
If you are using Ubuntu, and many other GNOME based distributions, you will have a places menu on your top menu bar. Open that menu and click connect to server.
A new window will open up with a drop down so you can select what type of server you are connecting to.
For a samba/cifs server select Windows share and fill out the required information.
Note: Unlike the run application window, you do not need the slashes to connect here.
Alternatively, you can also get to the connect to server window from Nautilus' file menu.
With a Shortcut
If you would like instant access to the connect to server window from your GNOME menu bar right click on the menu you would like to add the shortcut to and click add to panel.
In the window that pops up, search for "connect" and connect to server should be one of the results. Highlight the shortcut and click add at the bottom of the window.
Now you will have an additional shortcut on your GNOME bar for easy access.

 1. The_Biu
 You guys could create a tutorial about share files beetwen Linux Ubuntu and Windows Vista/7… That would be great! =D
 Seeya.
 2. The_Biu
 'about' like 'how to'… xD sorry!
 3. Senax
 I successfully used all three ways to access my file-server (running Windows Server 2003) from Ubuntu 10.10. But I always have to use it's IP-address to connect. Under Windows i can just use the network name (e.g.: \\bonk)
 What do I have to change, so I can do the same in Ubuntu like you apparently can?
 Thanks
 Senax
 4. Me
 @Senax, I think you need to install winbind from Synaptic.
 How about a tutorial to mount shares on startup?
 5. Myself
 @Me to mount shares on startup you need to modify your /etc/fstab file to have in it
 mounting:/point /placeYou/areMountingTo nfs rw,bg,soft 0 0
 This is an example of an nfs mount with a soft connection (nothing breaks if the connection isnt there)
 6. Myself
 @Me Sorry that didnt space like I hoped it would. There should be a space between mounting:/point and /placeYou/areMountingTo then a space again before nfs, then another space before rw,bg,soft then a space 0 a space 0
 7. Senax
 @Me: Thanks for the tip with winbind. I'll try that asap.
 8. Demi nemo
 For a windows PC user, Windows Password Unlocker could help you reset the password when you lock out by your PC.
 9. jerryclunsford
 I am running Debian Lenny, have samba and winbind installed, I use to be able to access my win 7 computer on the network until it did a windows update. Now it will not accept the password for the user name. Any Ideas?
 10. Frosty
 sure, all of these just so happen to use ubuntu :(. What about if your OS doesn't have samba installed by default (like Archlinux)? I was just browsing the linux section and didn't pick a subsection btw.

How to Store Portable Solar Generator for Winter? Are you planning to store your portable solar generator for the winter? Proper storage is essential to ensure your generator remains in top working condition when you need it again. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to store your portable solar generator for winter.
How to Store Portable Solar Generator for Winter?
The days are getting shorter, and the cold weather is settling in – it's time to put away your portable solar generator for the winter. Proper storage is essential to ensure your generator remains in good condition, ready to provide you with reliable power when you need it. In this article, we'll cover the essential steps to prepare and store your portable solar generator for the winter months, as well as tips for periodic maintenance and reassembly. Let's get started!
Why Store Your Portable Solar Generator Properly?
Storing your generator correctly has a few key benefits:
- Extend its lifespan – Proper storage helps to prevent damage to the generator's components, ensuring that it continues to function efficiently for years to come.
- Maintain efficiency – A well-maintained solar generator will work at peak efficiency, providing you with the maximum amount of power when you need it.
Preparing Your Portable Solar Generator for Storage
Follow these steps to get your generator ready for storage:
Before storing your portable solar generator for the winter, ensure you clean it thoroughly. The generator accumulates dirt and dust over time, which can affect its performance. Clean the generator's exterior using a damp cloth, and make sure to remove any grime that may have accumulated in the ventilation holes. You can also use a small brush to get rid of any debris that may have accumulated on the panels.
2. Battery maintenance
Check the battery for any signs of swelling, leaking, or corrosion. If you notice any issues, replace the battery before storing the generator. Additionally, fully charge the battery to prevent it from discharging during storage.
The battery is the most crucial component of your portable solar generator. It's essential to ensure the battery is fully charged before storing the generator. A fully charged battery prevents the generator's internal components from corroding. To charge your battery, connect your solar panels and let the generator charge until it reaches full capacity.
3. Inspecting for damage
Inspect the generator, solar panels, and any cables or connections for signs of wear or damage. Repair or replace any damaged components as needed.
Selecting the Right Storage Space
Keep these factors in mind when choosing a storage location:
- Temperature considerations – A cool, dry location with a stable temperature between 50°F and 80°F (10°C and 27°C) is ideal. Extreme temperatures can damage the battery and other components.
- Humidity considerations – Choose a storage area with low humidity to prevent corrosion and damage to the generator's electrical components.
- Safety precautions – Store the generator away from any potential sources of heat or open flames to prevent accidental fires. Also, Portable solar generators are valuable items that are often targeted by thieves. It's important to take precautions against theft when storing your generator for the winter. Store your generator in a secure location, such as a locked garage or shed. You can also use a security system or camera to monitor the area where you store your generator.
Proper Storage Techniques
Use these techniques to keep your generator safe during storage:
1. Disassembling the generator
Detach any solar panels, cables, or other accessories and store them separately to prevent damage. After charging your battery, disconnect the solar panels from the generator. Solar panels generate electricity even when the generator is not in use. If you leave the solar panels connected, they will continue charging the battery, which can cause it to overcharge and damage the battery.
2. Wrapping and protecting components
Wrap the generator and its components in protective materials such as bubble wrap or a soft cloth to prevent scratches or dents.
3. Storing the generator off the ground
Place the generator on a sturdy shelf or pallet, elevated off the ground. This will protect it from moisture and potential water damage. Storing your generator in a safe position prevents damage from falls or accidents. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the generator or storing it in an area where it's likely to get knocked over. Store the generator in an upright position, and make sure it's stable and secure.
Periodic Maintenance During Winter
Even while in storage, it's essential to perform some routine checks:
- Checking the battery – Every few weeks, check the battery's charge level and top it up as needed. A well-maintained battery will last longer and perform better when it's time to use the generator again.
- Inspecting for pests – Pests like rodents can cause damage to your generator by chewing on wires or nesting inside the unit. Regularly inspect the storage area for any signs of pests and take action if needed.
Preparing for Use After Winter
When winter ends, and it's time to use your generator again, follow these steps:
1. Reassembling the generator
Carefully reconnect any solar panels, cables, and accessories you removed during storage. Make sure all connections are secure and in good condition.
2. Testing the generator
Before relying on your generator for power, run a test to ensure it's working correctly. Fully charge the battery, then connect a small appliance or device to confirm that the generator is providing power as expected.
Proper storage of your portable solar generator during winter is essential for maintaining its efficiency and prolonging its lifespan. By following these steps, you can ensure that your generator will be ready to provide you with reliable power when you need it most. Remember to clean, maintain the battery, and select a suitable storage location. Also, don't forget to perform periodic maintenance checks during the winter months and test the generator before using it again.
- Can I use my portable solar generator during winter? Yes, you can use your generator during winter, but keep in mind that shorter daylight hours and lower sun angles may reduce the efficiency of the solar panels.
- How often should I check the battery during winter storage? It's a good idea to check the battery's charge level every few weeks and top it up as needed to maintain its health.
- Do I need a specific type of battery for cold weather? Some batteries, like lithium-ion batteries, perform better in cold temperatures compared to lead-acid batteries. If you live in a particularly cold region, it may be worth considering a generator with a lithium-ion battery.
- Can I store my portable solar generator outdoors during winter? While some generators are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, it's generally better to store your generator indoors in a cool, dry, and stable environment to protect it from extreme temperatures and moisture.
- How can I increase the efficiency of my solar generator during winter? You can optimize solar panel efficiency during winter by clearing snow from the panels, positioning them to receive maximum sunlight, and using a solar panel tracking system to follow the sun's movement.

The popcorn, or trinity stitch as it is called in the United States, is also known as the bramble or blackberry stitch in England, and the spider stitch in Italy. No matter what name you give to this stitch, this slightly raised pattern adds texture to a piece. This particular pattern includes both knit and purl stitches and allows the piece to remain soft and flexible while increasing the visual appeal.
Knit this pattern for any number of stitches that is a multiple of four. Practice with some worsted weight yarn and a larger set of needles before beginning a project that requires you to use the popcorn stitch.
Purl the first row. This will be the right side of the piece. Second row: knit one, purl one, knit one into the next stitch, purl three together; repeat from. Purl the third row. Fourth row: purl three together, knit one, purl one, knit one into the next stitch; repeat from.
Begin your project once you are comfortable with the stitch. Ensure that your tension is even and the "bumps" are nearly identical in size.

Slovakia Wins International Danube Art Master Competition
VIENNA, 11 October (UN Information Service) - Two Slovak children have won the 'International Danube Art Master 2008' competition, Philip Weller, Executive Secretary of the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) announced today in Vienna at the Schönbrunn Marionettentheater (Puppet Theatre).
The winning submission was created by Tomas Spusta and Martin Kratochvíl. Their artistic sculpture depicts a majestic duck watching over the Danube River, creatively made from local natural materials such as wood and grass.
The International Master is selected from the winners of the national 'Danube Art Master' competitions in 14 Danube Basin countries including Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Montenegro, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine. All children and schools from these 14 countries were invited to apply. Some 4,000 applications were submitted.
The "International Danube Art Master 2008" competition was announced in the spring of 2008. The competition is a key element of Danube Day 2008, emphasizing the complexity of Danube Basin rivers and their connection to land, animals, forests and people.
Children were encouraged to visit local rivers and surrounding areas and to consider what the environment means to them. They were then asked to reflect their thoughts and inspirations through environmental art using materials from in and around the river.
Other examples of prize-winning submissions at the national level included Moldova's "Danube Lives Through Us" sculpture, where an intravenous connects a person to a jar of river water, and Germany's "Mermaid" sculpture.
The competition was jointly organized by the ICPDR and the Danube Environmental Forum (DEF), the largest network of environmental NGOs in the Danube Basin.
"We believe that this competition encourages children to learn more about the Danube and help protect it," said ICPDR Executive Secretary Philip Weller. "It is also an artistic reminder for adults and the representatives of Danube national governments of their joint responsibility to ensure that the Danube is protected for future generations."
The award ceremony in Vienna was attended by the national Danube Art Master winners (and their accompanying persons). After the ceremony, the winners joined a three-day environmental programme, supported by Coca-Cola and organized by the Global Water Partnership Hungary, which included trips around Vienna, the Schönbrunn Palace and Zoo and the Natural History Museum.
International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR)
The International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) is an international organization consisting of 13 cooperating states and the European Union. Since its establishment in 1998, the ICPDR has grown into one of the largest and most active international bodies of river basin management expert in Europe. ICPDR deals not only with the Danube itself, but also with the whole Danube River Basin, which includes also its tributaries and the ground water resources.
The ultimate goal of the ICPDR is to implement the Danube River Protection Convention (DRPC) and make it a living tool. Its ambitious mission is to promote and coordinate sustainable and equitable water management, including conservation, improvement and rational use of waters for the benefit of the Danube River Basin countries and their people. The ICPDR pursues its mission by making recommendations for the improvement of water quality, developing mechanisms for flood and accident control, agreeing standards for emissions and by assuring that these are reflected in the Contracting Parties' national legislations and applied in their policies.

This paper describes a simple and highly sensitive auto bias control (ABC) technique based on asymmetric bias dithering for optical quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation and QPSK variants. Using our asymmetric bias dithering proposal, the required bandwidth of the ABC circuit is only ~2fd, where fd is the frequency of dithering, fd < 1 kHz. Thus, the circuit can be constructed without using high-speed components, and bias control performance is not limited by the signal bit rate. In this paper, we detail the concept of asymmetric bias dithering. We describe experiments that confirm bias monitoring and ABC operation, using a 20–64 Gbit/s optical QPSK signal. Its typical penalty is 0.1 dB, and Q factor fluctuation is negligible over 6 h of operation.

Chad Orzel's young son recently read the classic children's book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown. He asked his father how long it took the rabbit to say goodnight to everything. Orzel ran some calculations based upon the movements of the moon (pictured above) over the course of the story:
So, how can we use this to measure the passage of time? Well, we know that the full moon in the sky covers an angle of about half a degree of arc. On our big copy of the book, the diameter of the moon in the final illustration is just about 7/8" (I only have an English-unit tape measure here), while the distance from the corner of the window to the outer edge of the moon is 2 and 5/8", exactly three times the diameter. So the moon has moved through about 1.5 degrees in the course of the story.
Now, the Earth rotates through 360 degrees in just about 24 hours, which is 15 degrees per hour (the Moon's motion is slightly slower, owing to its orbital motion, but it's not a significant difference for our purposes). This suggests that the bunny's goodnight ritual takes about 0.1 hour, or six minutes.

Q: Retrieving the paperless receipt from some retailers requires access to the Internet and email from the retailer's web site. Does this activity invite fraud, identity theft and privacy intrusions on the Web?
A: Some retailers and banks have started offering customers the option of having receipts, such as those from purchases or ATM transactions, emailed instead of receiving paper receipts.
E-receipts not only save retailers money, they eliminate the clutter of paper receipts and allows you to electronically file them away until they are needed for returns, warranties or taxes.
Retailers may offer e-receipts directly. You can enroll simply by providing your email address to which your receipt is sent, detailing transaction information.
There are also online companies that offer to organize and store digital receipts. You must create an account and provide your credit or debit card information, which the company uses to track transactions. After purchases, the company retrieves receipt information directly from retailers and stores it online.
While paperless receipts may offer savings for retailers and convenience to you, be sure you are aware of what else you could be receiving in your inbox. Along with receipts, businesses may send junk mail filled with surveys, coupons and other promotional offers. They may also use your information to build profiles on demographics and buying habits.
Having receipts emailed can also make you susceptible to phishing and other identity theft scams. Posing as retailers or banks, scammers may send emails claiming there are problems and request that you click their links to provide personal information, which is used to steal your identity.
If you are interested in paperless receipts, your Better Business Bureau advises you to:
- Find out how businesses keep your information secure.
- Determine if businesses sell your information to third-parties.
- Ask if you can opt out of receiving promotional emails.
- Use a separate email account for e-receipts.
- Ignore unsolicited emails requesting personal information.
- Never click on links or download documents from unfamiliar people or companies.
- Update anti-virus software and security patches to the system software regularly.
Paperless receipts may be ideal if you want to store receipts without the clutter. Be sure you know the details and protect yourself from identity theft and possible scams. Check companies out with your BBB by visiting _URL_ .

||Exacter of Justice
PRAXIDIKE (or Praxidice) was the goddess or spirit (daimona) of exacting justice. She and her two daughters Arete (Virtue) and Homonoia (Concord) formed a divine triad known as the Praxidikai.
In the Orphic Hymns Praxidike is equated with Persephone, Soter with Zeus, and the Praxidikai with the goddess Erinyes. She was probably also associated with the daimona Poine (Retribution).
PRAXI′DICE (Praxidikê), i. e. the goddess who carries out the objects of justice, or watches that justice is done to men. When Menelaus arrived in Laconia, on his return from Troy, he set up a statue of Praxidice near Gytheium, not far from the spot where Paris, in carrying off Helen, had founded a sanctuary of Aphrodite Migonitis (Paus. iii. 22. § 2). Near Haliartus, in Boeotia, we meet with the worship of Praxidicae, in the plural (ix. 33. § 2), who were called daughters of Ogyges, and their names are Alalcomenia, Thelxinoea, and Auilis (ix. 33. § 4; Suid. s. v.; Steph. Byz. s. v. Tremilê). Their images consisted merely of heads, and their sacrifices only of the heads of animals. With the Orphic poets Praxidice seems to be a surname of Persephone. (Orph. Argon. 31, Hymn. 28. 5.)
Source: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology.
Orphic Hymn 29 to Persephone (trans. Taylor) (Greek hymns C3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.) :
"Hymn to Phersephone... Zeus' holy offspring, of a beauteous mien, Praxidike (avenging Goddess), subterranean queen. The Eumenides' [Erinyes'] source, fair-haired, whose frame proceeds from Zeus' ineffable and secret seeds."
Suidas s.v. Praxidike (trans. Suda On Line) (Byzantine Greek Lexicon C10th A.D.) :
"Praxidike (Exacter of Justice): A deity whose head alone is venerated. Mnaseas [Greek C2nd B.C.] in his treatise On Europe says that Soter (Saviour) and his sister Praxidike (Exacter of Justice) had a son Ktesios (Household) and daughters Homonoia and Arete, who were called Praxidikai (Exacters of Penalties) after their mother."

Section Access: Circular References Are (Maybe) OK!
I want to share an accidental discovery that will likely change the way you implement QlikView Section Access forever—it certainly did for us and our clients!
There is a simple principle in QlikView that even novice developers know: circular references are to be avoided like the black plague. Because of QlikView's unique associative data model architecture, circular references are strictly forbidden. In fact, QlikView itself will break any circular references it finds by turning one or more table links into "loosely coupled" links.

A circular reference occurs whenever it is possible to get from one table in the data model to another through more than one path. In the picture above, for example, you can get from Budget to Orders either directly (using ProductID as a key field) or through Customers. This results in a "circular" reference (and the word circular is also an apt description, since you can see that a "circle" is formed with the table links).

The important discovery that I want to share in this article is that circular references in QlikView are not a problem when Section Access tables are involved! Suppose you have a structure as follows, where the Section Access table is indicated by the dotted border. This is a pretty common Section Access use case, where a user has access to one or more geographic regions:

Now suppose that you also want to add a restriction on the user to allow him to see only online sales (as indicated by the #ONLINESALEFLAG in the Fact table). Many developers would, when faced with this problem, created a composite-key link between the FACT and GEOGRAPHY tables. And, indeed, this is generally considered a perfectly acceptable solution to this problem. The composite key would use both TerritoryID and #ONLINESALEFLAG, and might looks something like: "TERRITORY1|ONLINE". The GEOGRAPHY dimension would then double in size to create a match for all the #ONLINESALEFLAG permutations, and the section access table would link to a REGIONID/#ONLINESALEFLAG composite.

Imagine trying to implement something like that if you have more than 2 possible values, however! Suppose #ONLINESALEFLAG had 5 possible values; restricting your data model to a single table would quickly cause the size of that table to spiral out of control. Fortunately, you may not have to! As it turns out, the following data structure often works just fine:

For whatever reason, QlikView does not have a problem with circular references caused by section access tables (where the section access tables complete the "circle"). This, clearly, opens up a world of possibility when designing your data model for security. Essentially, you might now have total freedom to structure your section access to dynamically restrict users to any numbers of fields in your data model, even if those fields are in different tables!

Update, based on valuable input from the legendary Henric Cronström (see below): Use caution when implementing this technique with multiple fields. QlikView actually will loosely couple the section access tables behind the scenes, it will just not warn you that that is what it is doing. As a result of loose coupling, you cannot specify "AND" logic for multiple field reductions for those fields affected by the loose coupling. So, in my example above, you cannot grant a user access to Online-only sales for Region1 and Non-Online-Only sales for Region2. Rather, the result will be that the user will have access to (Online or Non-Online) and (Region1 or Region). The distinct values of each field will be evaluated separately, rather than together. This may be the result that you want, but it is not likely. The solution described in this article is, therefore, not likely a good fit if a user has more than a single record in the section access tables.

Note also that, for best performance and to ensure predictable results, synthetic keys still be avoided. Meaning, a section access table should not link to 2 fields within the same table. Note also that this example demonstrates a side lesson as well—that section access tables can be linked just like regular (i.e. section application) QlikView tables. In this case, we have 2 section access tables that are linked on the field NTNAME. This field will, in turn, be automatically linked by the system to the logged-on username of QlikView users.

9 Responses to Section Access: Circular References Are (Maybe) OK!
 1. Jasleen Puri says:
 Very neat Vlad! I'll try this out for sure.
 I'm guessing we can add more than one column in the second Section Access table alongwith the #ONLINESALEFLAG. Say there's a ProductLine that needs Section Access as well. Then PRODUCTID could be added on to this table as well. Will have to check with some data how multiple Section Access columns get resolved.
 2. Jasleen, you can definitely add more than one column. However, as I mentioned in the article, watch out for synthetic keys. Those are problematic even in Section Access. I ran an experiment and found that adding synthetic keys significantly slowed down application opening time. Of course, each app is different, but keep this in mind.

 Vlad

 Be careful here… Yes it will work, but it will not always do what you want. An example: If you have a user that is allowed to see product X in Germany and product Y in France, you might create an authorization table like
 User Product Country
 A X DE
 A Y FR
 This will reduce data, but not the way you want it to. You want to see transactions fulfilling
 (Product='X' AND Country='DE') OR (Product='Y' AND Country='FR')
 but you will get
 (Product='X' OR Product='Y') AND (Country='DE' OR Country='FR')

 4. Thanks for that correction. On further testing, it turns out that QlikView DOES loosely couple the section access tables behind the scenes, it just doesn't warn you that that's what it is doing! Interesting, since you will get notified about synthetic keys caused by section access, so I'm not sure why it won't warn you for a circular reference. For the scenario that I tested at my own clients, this wasn't a problem. But your advice to use this cautiously is absolutely correct.
 Regards,
 Vlad
 5. Henric, I've just updated the article to reflect your cautionary advice. Thanks again!
 Vlad
 6. HIC says:
 It is really not loosely coupled either. It is rather that QlikView makes "implicit selections" before it opens the document – it first makes a selection in the first field (e.g. Product is X or Y) and then in the second field (e.g. Country is DE or FR). Finally it reduces the data before it displays the app to the user.
 So it is in fact "loyal" to the selection principles used in normal situations: OR between values within a field, and AND between different fields.
 HIC
 7. Vlad Gutkovsky says:
 Henric, I ran a test where I loaded the section access table as a regular section application table (so it became loosely coupled), and it behaved the same as you are describing. So maybe that's what loosely coupling does? I've uploaded the example here: _URL_

 Hi Vlad
 I have a strict requirement with my application for row level access for set of users.
 A user will have a set of records(recordid) he has access to on Table A & Table B and the second user has access to same or different set of records on Table A, B & C.
 In my application i might have as much as 10+ contatenated into fact table and another 5-8 dimension tables.
 I am trying to cover the security to be implemented @ every row on every table.
 When i implement the section access there are a lot of synthetic keys & circular references.
 Any inputs/ideas on handling this situation.
 Appreciate any guidance
 Thanks
 aravind
 9. Aravind,
 I'm not sure how Tables A – C are connected in your data model, so my answer will need to be somewhat general. First, if a particular user does not have a reduction value on a particular field, it's perfectly acceptable to leave it null. A null value in Section Access will mean that the user won't have reductions on that field at all (as opposed to a '*', which does something else).
 Second, as mentioned above regarding synthetic keys, I would suggest that you avoid these in Section Access. My testing has shown that they work, but significantly hurt performance. If you truly need to reduce on 2 fields in the same table, concatenate those fields together and use the single field as a reduction field.
 Third, regarding circular references, that is what this entire article is about, so can you be more specific?
 Regards,
 Vlad

old snow in a sentence
Example sentences for old snow
The bright sun was blinding as it sparkled off the day-old snow.
Snow boards are laid on top of old snow when there is any possibility of new snow falling.
The weight of the new snowfall also acts to compress the old snow beneath it.
The combined total of new snow, old snow, and ice at observation time is snow depth.
If you measure all the snow on the ground, including old snow, this is not snowfall but rather snow depth.

The Dynamic Effects of Bundling as a Product Strategy
MetadataShow full item record
CitationDerdenger, Timothy, and Vineet Kumar. "The Dynamic Effects of Bundling as a Product Strategy." Marketing Science (forthcoming).
AbstractSeveral key questions in bundling have not been empirically examined: Is mixed bundling more effective than pure bundling or pure components? Does correlation in consumer valuations make bundling more or less effective? Does bundling serve as a complement or substitute to network effects? To address these questions, we develop a consumer-choice model from micro-foundations to capture the essentials of our setting, the handheld video game market. We provide a framework to understand the dynamic, long-term impacts of bundling on demand. The primary explanation for the profitability of bundling relies on homogenization of consumer valuations for the bundle, allowing the firm to extract more surplus. We find bundling can be effective through a novel and previously unexamined mechanism of dynamic consumer segmentation, which operates independent of the homogenization effect, and can in fact be stronger when the homogenization effect is weaker. We also find that bundles are treated as separate products (distinct from component products) by consumers. Sales of both hardware and software components decrease in the absence of bundling, and consumers who had previously purchased bundles might delay purchases, resulting in lower revenues. We also find that mixed bundling dominates pure bundling and pure components in terms of both hardware and software revenues. Investigating the link between bundling and indirect network effects, we find that they act as substitute strategies, with a lower relative effectiveness for bundling when network effects are stronger.

ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD
MERGES WITH HADRIAN/JUPITER
TONIGHT is a night for some major ANTINOUS MOON MAGIC when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD "eclipses" the planet Jupiter.
Technically, this is an "occultation." If you live at just the right place on Earth, you'll be able to watch the waning crescent moon occult — cover over — the planet Jupiter for up to an hour before dawn on Sunday morning, July 15. Northern Africa, Europe and the Middle East are among the places that will see this lunar occultation of Jupiter at or before dawn (Sunday, July 15).
If you live in the Americas, the occultation occurs Saturday evening (between 10 p.m. and midnight New York time). But no matter where you live, look for the moon to shine near two brilliant planets: Venus and Jupiter.
By Sunday dawn in the Americas, you will see the crescent Moon has just left Jupiter and is heading for Venus (photo above).
While the Moon passes by Jupiter every month, only very rarely does it pass directly in front of Jupiter. This year is special because the Moon will occult Jupiter ten times between June 2012 and February 18th 2013.
In ANTINOUS MOON MAGIC Jupiter symbolizes Emperor Hadrian and the Moon stands for Antinous. In Classical Mythology, Jupiter/Zeus inseminated many mortals, siring many demigods, among them Pollux, Hercules and Dionysus (all three possessing ambiguous sexual orientation). In conventional astrology, Moon-Occult-Jupiter is an optimal time for becoming pregnant. But in ANTINOUS MOON MAGIC it is the night for magically inseminating your spiritual self so as to bring forth or "give birth to" divine and enduring works.
On the OBELISK OF ANTINOUS, cryptic Egyptian hieroglyphs assert that the "Semen of the First God" flows through Antinous — a reference to the Egyptian creation myth about the first deity, who ejaculated into his own mouth and spoke the magical words of creation which produced all the gods and goddesses and the universe.
The Moon-Jupiter Occultation is the perfect night for ANTINOUS MOON MAGIC rituals aimed at opening your spiritual self to the magical power of Hadrian and Antinous so that the "Semen of the First God" flows through you to bring forth ideas of a divine and enduring nature.

Limboto Lake covering an area of 3,000 hectares clearly has an important role to the surrounding area as a waterproof area. The location of the Lake is located in the administrative district of Limboto, Gorontalo.
In addition to having a significant role for the life of the surrounding community, this lake is one of the places of interest as a tourist destination. Early morning or dusk is the best time to visit Limboto Lake. When the sun rises or sinks, more vibrant view of the Lake by the gleam of the sunlight that falls on the surface of the water of the Lake and the color of the sky changes color.
Fishing, touring the Lake with boating, or enjoying the view of lotus flowers and water hyacinth bloom are some of the attraction that you can do at this Lake. The richness of the Lake is a fresh water fish can also be used for fishing.
Limboto Lake is also the mouth of five major rivers, namely: Bone Bolango River, Daenaa River, Bionga River, Alo River, and Molalahu Rivers. The water of Lake Limboto flowed through the River Topadu which flows into the Gulf of Tomini with a distance about 10 miles.
During the 1950s, the Lake has a depth of up to 27 m was once a cornerstone of amphibious aircraft landed lays President Sukarno. Bung Karno made a visit to Gorontalo. Unfortunately, this year is getting more shallow lake only. The current expected depth of the Lake is only approximately 3-7 m. The superficiality of Limboto Lake caused by erosion and sedimentation resulting farming activities that do not heed the soil conservation and forest openings. This should be a concern to the relevant parties considering the important role of the Lake.
However, keeping the Lake becomes a shared responsibility. When left then predicted 15 years again it will disappear or flat to the surface of the ground. In fact, Lake Limboto very vital role as rainwater catchment to prevent flooding in Gorontalo.

Making oil paints with natural dye powder
The first synthetic dye was mauveine, which was discovered by William Henry Perkin in the mid-19th century during experiments with tar components. Before this invention, colours for painting were often made from the colourful diversity of nature. Plants were mainly used for this purpose. These natural colours are very different from the industrially produced dyes of today.
To make a ready-to-use dye from our natural dyes, you will need the following things:
- A spoon
- 50g dye powder of your choice
- A plaster mold or mortar
- Vegetable oil
The process is very simple: The vegetable oil is carefully mixed with the dye powder until a coarse and solid paste is formed. This paste is then stirred and squeezed until it is fine and creamy.
The resulting dye is in no way inferior to the colour pigments of past centuries. Now all you have to do is paint away and discover how the first masterpieces of our time were created.


Navigate inside entity objects
Hi All, I am working on an application, where i have list of questions that need to be answered by user. I have all the question created already in a Master Entity and i am using this entity to show questions on a page where i have a template grid (4*4) showing all question number and data view (listing to list view ) to show the correspond questions. Now i have option to click on question numbers to show the question on right in a data view but i want a button also which will navigate me through the question. Like i am on question 1 and i click next and move to question 2. Is their any way by which i can achieve this? Thanks
1 answers
You can try doing the following
 1. In your entity you must have some attribute that determines the order of the question
 2. Develop two buttons in dataview (previous and next)
 3. When pressing the next button, retrieve the current object in dataview,
 4. Based on the order from the object, get the question with next order, pass it to the dataview and refresh it.
 5. I already have my doubts on this, but this is for you to try
Another option to try would be
 1. Try having a template grid showing all details of questions and limit the items shown to 1 with pagination enabled.
 2. But you can not have listen to widget option working between two template grids.

Everything you need to understand or teach Yellow Woman by Leslie Marmon Silko.
The poem that prefaces "Yellow Woman" suggests that the story that follows is mythic. Whirlwind Man belongs "to the wind," and he and Kochininako, Yellow Woman, "travel swiftly / this whole world." At the story's opening, the unnamed female narrator awakens at dawn next to a man on a riverbank. She watches the sun rise, then gets up and walks south, following their footprints from the day before. She comes across their horses, and she looks for but cannot see her pueblo (a multi-storied dwelling built of adobe; capitalized, the word also means "people" in the sense of a tribal group).
She returns to the sleeping man to tell him she is leaving. He reminds her, smiling, that she must come with him. He calls her "Yellow Woman" and will not answer her questions about who he is, saying only that the night before she had guessed who he... View more of the Yellow Woman Summary

Injury is a serious public health concern in Canada, with outcomes ranging from increased economic burden to disability and death.
Tracking, also known as health surveillance, is the continuous and systematic process of collection, analysis, and interpretation of descriptive information for monitoring health problems.
Information derived from the analysis of injury data in Canada supports the development of health promotion campaigns and legislation aimed at reducing injuries. Information gained from surveillance activities can be used in safety education, product recalls, manufacturing standards, and health policy. Surveillance can also identify high risk groups, detect clusters of events, provide clues into risks factors and causes of injury, provide historical information and raise questions that need to be addressed by more in-depth research.
Health Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada offer information on injury surveillance in Canada through the following sources:

Presentation #412.03 in the session "Education and Public Engagement I: Public Engagement and Citizen Science".
As part of an ongoing project to understand the current state of amateur astronomy, we have talked to dozens of individuals and reviewed online and event artifacts from across the world to better understand how the global pandemic has impacted traditional astronomy outreach of individuals and clubs. Within many countries, traditional astronomy club meetings, in person trainings, and in person outreach events were quickly cancelled in the spring following the overall mandated shutdowns. As individuals, clubs, and organizations grappled with how to move forward, online programming grew as a way to reach audiences and communities unable to travel or physically come together. Additionally, virtual star parties of all sizes brought enthusiasts together from all over the world. Non-contact outreach included neighborhood Solar System walks, publicly displayed viewing guides, and "bring your own binocular" community events. Trainings and conferences saw huge surges in attendance as online programming opened up opportunities to new audiences who had not been able to attend due to travel and financial restrictions. Overall, as the pandemic continues, many of the innovations in outreach created to mitigate rapid shutdown of event have become more permanent changes to increase the reach of outreach to and by amateur astronomers.

Goats in Tree Get Fruit Seed Makes Expensive Argan Oil
Photograph - Photography
The fruit of the argan tree is small, and round, oval, or conical. A thick peel covers the fleshy pulp. The pulp surrounds a hard-shelled nut that represents about 25% of the weight of the fresh fruit.
The nut contains one to three oil-rich argan kernels. Extraction yields from 30% to 50% of the oil in the kernels, depending on the extraction method.
Extraction is key to the production process. To extract the kernels, workers first dry argan fruit in the open air and then remove the fleshy pulp. Some producers remove the flesh mechanically without drying the fruit. Moroccans usually use the flesh as animal feed. There is a tradition, in some areas of Morocco, of allowing goats to climb argan trees to feed freely on the fruits. The kernels are then later retrieved from the goat droppings, considerably reducing the labour involved in extraction at the expense of some potential gustatory aversion. In modern practice the peels are removed by hand.
The next stage involves cracking the argan nut to obtain the argan kernels. Attempts to mechanize this process have been unsuccessful, so workers still do it by hand, making it a time-consuming, labor-intensive process. Berber women often engage in this arduous task.

Abstract
The importance of considering the water price in the analysis of the impact of dry versus hybrid condensing systems in the thermo economical performance of solar tower plants was demonstrated in this work. The dry condensing system consists of several induced-draft air-cooled condenser cells (ACCs) and the hybrid system consists of a parallel system where the condensing steam is split between the ACCs and a surface steam condenser where circulating water is cooled in a wet mechanical-draft cooling tower. The influence of the operating parameters of either the dry or wet cooling systems on the cooling load and fan power consumption were studied. Then, for a given condensing system (a system with a defined number of installed ACCs units and cooling tower units) and given the dry-air and wet-bulb air temperatures, the operating parameters were optimized to maximize the revenues of the power plant. This optimization depends on the water-to-electricity price ratio 𝑅, showing that at low ambient temperature when this ratio increases it is not profitable to turn on the cooling towers since the water cost is not counterbalanced by the higher cycle efficiency obtained with the lower condensation temperature. Finally, the annual operation and the LCOE and NPV of the CSP plant located in Dunhuang were analyzed for both dry and hybrid condensing systems with different number of ACCs and wet towers, showing that the most cost-effective configuration is the 16 ACCs with 3 wet cooling towers for water-to-electricity price ratio 𝑅 = 4 ($/m3)/($/kWhe) and 𝑅 = 5 ($/m3)/($/kWhe), but for 𝑅 = 10($/m3)/($/kWhe), the best option is with only 2 wet towers.

Chechebsa/ Kita Firfir
Chechebsa (ጨጨብሳ)
Chechebsa is sometimes called (Kita Firfir). It is one of the most popular breakfast dishes in the Ethiopian tradition. Chechebsa starts with preparing a batter that's fried to make a large flatbread called Kita. The kita is then torn into small pieces and is mixed with berbere (spiced red pepper powder) and Niter Kibbeh (spiced butter) until it's a moist and soft mixture. Chechebsa is usually served warm served with hot coffee or chai spiced tea.Ingredients:
 - 1tbsp of oil to prevent sticky pan
 - 1cup of Flour (whole wheat, all purpose, teff, or a mixture of some or all the flours)
 - 1/2tsp Salt
 - 2tsp Spiced red paper powder
 - 4tbspSpiced butter (Nitir Kibbeh)

TWO stained glass windows have been created as a lasting tribute to a forgotten hero of West Kirby.
Edmund Dene Morel, who lived in the town in the early 1900s, was a shipping clerk turned journalist and socialist politician who led a campaign against slavery in the Congo.
While living in Wirral he took up the cause for people he had never met in a country he had never been to.
Before his death in 1924 he launched a newspaper dedicated to exposing atrocities in the Congo and spearheaded the Congo Reform Association, regarded as the first human rights movement of this century.
More than 50 people including the Bishop of Birkenhead and Morel's granddaughter and great-grandson attended the installation last week of two stained glass windows dedicated to his memory at West Kirby Library.
They depict a map of Africa and glass hands and feet, representing the severing of limbs from those Congolese who failed to gather enough rubber for their ruler, King Leopold II of Belgium.
The memorial was funded by a Your Wirral grant to the Workers' Educational Association (WEA), the Duncan Society and fundraising through a Just Giving website.
WEA tutor Tina Read ran two courses and a public meeting about Morel and incorporated ideas from the events into the design.
She said: "His remarkable energy, and ability to draw people from all walks of life into his cause, saw him writing dozens of letters a day, pamphlets in English, French and German, packing out halls up and down the country where thousands would hear him speak.
"One letter of protest alone would be signed by 11 peers, 19 bishops, 76 members of parliament, the presidents of seven Chambers of Commerce, 13 editors of major newspapers, and every Lord Mayor in the country."
West Kirby glass artist Robbie Macoy created the central panels and Tina Read made side panels with David Bibby, Martin Murphy and Claire Hughes at the ARK Project in Birkenhead.

Mesostructured Y2O3:Eu3+ phosphor particles were fabricated by a pyrolytic conversion from a pertinent metal–organic framework (MOF), namely, MOF-76(Y):Eu with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid ligands, aiming at luminescence sensing of H2O2. Large rod-like MOF-76(Y):Eu particles 301 ± 150 μm in average length were initially obtained by a reaction at 80 °C for 24 h. They were converted to rod-like Y2O3:Eu3+ particles 122 ± 34 μm in average length after heating at 500 °C. The Y2O3:Eu3+ particles actually consisted of primary nanoparticles 7.55 ± 1.43 nm in average size and had a mesoporous structure with a high specific surface area of 80.8 m2 g−1. The photoluminescence intensity of the Y2O3:Eu3+ particles decreased after treating with an aqueous H2O2 solution, which was recognized as H2O2-responsive turn-off luminescence. Three other kinds of Y2O3:Eu3+ particles, including those obtained from other MOF particles synthesized at room temperature, were also prepared and the effects of the microstructure on the degree of turn-off luminescence were examined. It was then observed that the H2O2-sensitivity was enhanced more effectively by using the MOF-derived Y2O3:Eu3+ particles having the higher specific surface area.

GOVERNMENT water inspectors plan to prosecute South West Water after more than 300 people in Devon suffered severe and long-lasting diarrhoea last month when their water supplies were contaminated with the spores of Cryptosporidium, a protozoan parasite, from animal wastes. It was the worst outbreak caused by contaminated water supplies for six years.
Water scientists believe the latest outbreak may have arisen because the company failed to change procedures at the Littlehempston water treatment works as it juggled different supplies of water during the drought. South West Water refused to speculate, but a company engineer said it was reviewing the management of water at the plant.
The outbreak calls into question the effectiveness of a £4 million research programme carried out by the water industry in an effort to prevent a repeat of a similar incident in Swindon in 1989, when at least 500 people became ill. An evaluation of...

4x4 Driving with Mud Tyres and Mud Driving
4x4 Driving with Mud Tyres and Mud Driving
Driving through mud is a cross between ice skating and walking through quicksand. Some types of mud have a greasy top layer with a hard baked surface underneath, while other types can be a bottomless quagmire of gooey mush.
Different types of mud require different driving techniques, equipment and Mud Tyres. Greasy mud with a hard bottom layer is best suited to narrow mud tyres to allow them to cut through the top layer to bite the hard surface below. Wide mud tyres in this situation tend to float on the greasy top layer without reaching the hard surface underneath.

Thick gooey mud tends to favor wide mud tyres as they give some flotation, similar to wide tyres favoring sand driving. Lowering your tyre pressures can help just like when sand driving, though its best not to lower tyre pressures below 20-25psi for mud.

Regardless of what type of mud and what width tyres are fitted, the tread pattern needs to have large lugs to allow the tyre to 'clean' itself. If they don't, the lugs fill with mud and the tyre becomes a 'slick' with little chance of getting traction. Road orientated tread patterns tend to have closely spaced lugs to put more rubber on the road and to reduce tire noise at highway speeds. When it comes to mud, road tread tyres are at a significant disadvantage, whereas in sand they help avoid 'digging in'. Dedicated mud tyres have large open spaced lugs to keep the tyre clean. However, they handle worse on bitumen as there is less rubber in contact with the ground and in sand they tend to dig in. Also they can have an annoying drone at highway speeds.

Mud Driving Techniques Mud Tyres

Unlike some other types of terrain, mud-driving techniques vary on the type of mud. Reducing tire pressures can help in 'bottomless' mud whereas it can make things worse when a hard surface is below the mud. Mud usually tends to hide obstacles such as tree roots and sticks just waiting to slash your sidewalls, so its best to avoid reducing tire pressures if you can avoid it.

Driving on the peaks between tyre tracks can provide firmer ground, as water tends to collect in the wheel tracks. Though sometimes the existing wheel tracks have cut through to the firmer surface underneath and provide the best traction.

Moving the steering wheel left to right about 90° from the center can help the front wheels bite into the mud in search of traction. Do not turn the wheel too for as you can end up making things worse.

As you have probably gathered by now, mud driving is unpredictable and you need to have a knowledge of different driving techniques to know which one to apply in each situation. What doesn't change is the need to have good mud tyres with big self-cleaning lugs and good recovery equipment.

Tire Chains, an alternative to Mud Tyres

A way to overcome the cost and audible discomfort of mud tyres is to use tyre chains on your existing tires. They will dramatically improve your traction, but they do damage the track surface. It is best if they are only used when you HAVE to traverse a muddy track, as they can make it almost impassable when it dries out. If possible, it is best to let a muddy track partially dry out so you con get through in 4WD without using chains, as chains will deteriorate the track for future users.

There are two main types of tyre chains, the bar (ladder) pattern or the diamond pattern. The bar pattern is better for mud as it really bites into the surface, whereas the diamond pattern is normally used for snow driving. It provides a smoother ride as the chain is in constant contact with the surface and has side-slip resistance, whereas the bar type has more of a digging action. Both types of chains can be used in either situation so if you do purchase them, choose the sort for your main type of driving.

Maintenance

Mud, especially clay and thick mud, tends to stick wherever it touches, It can build up under the wheel arches to the point it acts as a brake on the tyres. This type of build-up is obvious and has to be cleared immediately, but other types of build-up that are not so obvious but still need immediate removal is on the rims. Even a small amount can throw your wheel balance out dramatically and can lead to uneven tyre wear and a vibrating steering wheel.

Once all visible mud has been removed, its necessary to check items like diff and gearbox breathers to ensure they are clear, otherwise it can lead to seal damage in the long term. Also check all drain holes on the chassis etc to ensure they are not blocked. Its surprising how mud can even find it's way to block drain holes on the bottom of doors!

Using pesticide sprays in the home 'could double risk of brain tumours'
Last updated at 23:14 04 June 2007
Using pesticides on house plants could more than double your risk of developing a brain tumour, a study suggests.
Those who use fly sprays, weedkillers and other chemical treatments on their pot-plants are 2.25 times more likely to develop brain cancer, the findings show.
Around 5,000 Britons are diagnosed with brain tumours each year. Some can be removed by surgery, but others can cause death quickly.
Little is known about the causes of most brain tumours.
The study - one of the biggest of its kind - suggests that chemicals found in pesticides play a role.
The findings come a week after British researchers warned that using pesticides while gardening could increase the risk of Parkinson's disease by more than 40 per cent.
In the latest study, French researchers asked more than 200 male and female patients with brain tumours about their past use of pesticides at work and at home.
They compared the answers with those given by a healthy group of similar age and upbringing.
It was found that those who had used pesticides on house plants were more than twice as likely to have developed a brain tumour.
The study, published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine, also found a clear link between pesticide use at work and ill health.
Overall, farm workers had almost a 30 per cent increased risk of developing a brain tumour.
But those who had used pesticides the most had more than twice the risk.
The researchers, from Victor Segalen University in Bordeaux, concluded: "These figures suggest that a high level of occupational exposure to pesticides might be associated with an excess risk of brain tumours.
"Treatment of house plants was also associated with an increased risk of brain tumour.
"It is of concern that they are sprayed in closed dwellings and are recommended for use every week."
They added that further research was needed as they could not rule out that differences in diet or exposure to chemicals in household cleaning agents had an effect on tumour development.
Nor could they pinpoint which products or chemicals were damaging the brain.
Georgina Downs, of the UK Pesticides Campaign, said: "This is a clear warning for people to think of other methods to keep plants free of bugs."
The Crop Protection Association, which represents pesticide manufacturers, said there was no conclusive link between pesticides and brain tumours.

AU Culture platform
The AU Culture Platform is an application that allows evaluating, from a wide perspective, the impacts generated on individuals after the participation in a cultural event.
The format is an application that can be used on mobile phones or any other digital platform. It aims to become a democratic tool for evaluating the services that cultural or policy institutions can adopt through the use of an interacting platform that produces big data. The platform is designed to generate a database that allows us to understand, at an aggregated level, how the satisfaction is constructed in the participation in a cultural event, which permits us to compare between cultural events and to analyse the reactions for each specific segment of audiences. The user her/himself evaluates the cultural experience avoiding the interviewer-dominated process, while reflecting her/his real perception and experience. The users' evaluations help to gain insight into ways of improving cultural services, and experience by acquiring more knowledge about consumer behaviour. AU Culture platform, on the one hand, helps the cultural and political organizations to meet the need and the interests of their users, and on the other, it allows the individuals to express their voice and engages themselves in active cultural dynamics in the city.
Therefore, we can summarise the characteristics of AU Culture platform as follows:
- it includes a comprehensive approach in the evaluation framework, that we will explain indepth
- in the next paragraph;
- it provides quantitative data;
- there is no interviewer-dominated process in data collection;
- it is user-oriented
Figure 1 summarizes the logical architecture of AU Culture, which is articulated in three different functionalities.
1. Person. This part collects socio-demographic information, cultural interests and habits about the users. Depending on the data entered in this section, the user will be associated with one Cultotype2 rather than another. The Cultotype is a cultural profile that defines what kind of cultural consumer the user is.
2. Event. The AU Culture platform shows various events taking place in the city where the user is geolocated.
3. Evaluation. After having participated in a specific event, the user will be able to evaluate it. Finally, the user could compare its results with those of other users who have rated the same event.
With this kind of information, the app develops intelligent algorithms for recommending cultural events around the city, which will permit a better matching and efficiency in the connection between cultural supply and demand, reducing transaction costs in the cultural ecosystem.


How complicated can it be? Isn't it just a trailer that runs like a refrigerator?
Image: Utility 3000R with Thermo King S-600 Reefer Unit
True, to a certain degree. There are a lot of variables when it comes to a refrigerator that moves through different weather, varying temperatures from day and night, and how well the product holds the temperature.
Image: Thermo King Precedent S-600 by Thermo King
There are two types of refrigerated tempature settings: Continuous and Cycle-Sentry
Continuous. Although this is energy intensive, it provides the most protection of your product while in transit. The produce industry requires that the continuous setting must be used when transporting fruits and vegetables. Produce needs continuous air flow to handle the product respiration and to keep consistent temperature throughout the trip. The reefer unit would have a "Set Point" that is manually set by the driver, and have it run at the specified temperature as instructed on the Bill of Lading (BOL) to prevent product damage.
The continuous setting will have a defrost cycle to remove ice or frost buildup from the coil. These units typically have an automatic defrost based on the temperature difference it detects, but otherwise would run a cycle every 6 hours by default. This should not affect the product being transported since the ambient temperature will change faster than the temperature of the product, and the cycle would shut off before it becomes a problem.
Cycle-Sentry. Commonly used to transport chilled and frozen products, this setting saves fuel and reefer hours. Carriers prefer this setting since it extends the life of the reefer unit, which is fairly expensive to maintain, repair and eventually replace. The driver would set a temperature, and the reefer unit would turn on and shut off as it automatically manages the ambient temperature of the trailer.
Running the reefer on cycle-sentry has risks associated with it, since the temperature would have minor fluctuations as the air isn't continuously flowing. To mitigate some of the risks of running cycles, one method would be to have the reefer unit run every "x" minutes for "y" minutes regardless of the current temperature. This would in turn, still save significant fuel and reefer hours, while keeping the product being transported at temperature.
Interesting things to keep in mind when moving temperature controlled freight.
 - Frozen products generally stay cold longer than chilled product without the refrigeration unit running, which in turn leads to less fuel usage and fewer reefer hours being used.
 - Transporting product that is refrigerated, but not frozen, through areas with freezing temperatures, the trailer is actually heating up the trailer to keep the product from freezing.
 - The frequency of opening the trailer doors will affect the temperature, and may cause fluctuations on the temperature recorder. This will happen when there are multiple stops.
 - To move refrigerated freight in California, the reefer unit must be CARB compliant. Most approved units have 7 years of compliance before it needs to be replaced, and some units are approved for its lifetime because the emissions meet the special requirements of the regulations.
BOA Logistics values and treats a customer's freight as our own and always emphasizes the instructions on the Bill of Lading (BOL) to all carriers. We truly believe in our company mission statement:
"We are the protectors of clients' dreams by getting their creations to market at the right time for maximum effect."
