YNGWIE MALMSTEEN: Biography, Guitars, and Pedals
Guitarists Shredders
Yngwie Malmsteen, is a renowned Swedish guitarist, member of the club known as " Shredders ", such as Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, or Eddie Van Halen, among others. The technique known as Shred began to be performed in the 80s, and it is mainly about the execution of passages with a high level of complexity, technique, and speed. We could call them the guitar jugglers.
Yngwie Malmsteen: Biography
The musical style of shredders is usually Heavy, but shredders may exist in other musical styles such as country, jazz-fusion, and blues.
Basically, if we are able to make continuous and complex phrases on the guitar, and at high speed, we become shredders.
Where the Shred technique is most often used is in instrumental themes in the style of Heavy Rock, Heavy Metal, or Neoclassical Metal. Precisely Yngwie Malmsteen was one of the most influential musicians in the creation of this subgenre of Metal known as Neoclassical Metal, although he was not the first. Malmsteen himself was inspired by the music of this style, which he was already beginning to perform by the group Deep Purple. Being this band the pioneer in compositions of this style.
Needing for its interpretation, a certain degree of virtuosity, and strong musical knowledge for the development of its composition.
Yngwie Malmsteen Biography
Lars Johan Yngwie Lannerbäck was born in Stockholm in 1963, and his interest in the electric guitar came to him when he was only 7 years old while he was watching a television program, which was about the death of Jimi Hendrix, and where some performances of the great guitarist were reproduced.
From that moment on, Yngwie became seriously interested in the electric guitar. Although he also became a great teacher with acoustic and Spanish guitar. Finding a calling that has kept you busy too this day.
Although Malmsteen was very given to playing the guitar with his teeth and breaking the guitar like Jimi, his greatest musical reference was not Hendrix, but Ritchie Blackmore, guitarist of Deep Purple. Spending long hours of his teens practicing with his music.
At the age of 15, he decided to abandon his studies to dedicate all his efforts to the guitar and music. His mother and sister, a talented flutist, recognized his musical gifts, and gave him their full support, making rapid progress thanks to his great dedication.
Yngwie and Classical Music
But not only did the guitar occupy his hours, but influenced by his sister, he studied classical music. Expanding his musical references to Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi, or Mozart, managing to understand the most complex musical structures.
According to Malmsteen himself, when he was 16 his parents came to worry about him. Since he hardly ate, he left the house or saw his friends. For him, there was only music and guitar.
In his early adolescence, Yngwie, watching on television the performance of a work by the virtuoso violinist Niccolo Paganini, understood how to combine classical music with his skills as a guitarist. Adapting fingering techniques from the violin to the guitar, clearly defining his style. In fact, Yngwie Malmsteen is also known as the Paganini of the electric guitar.
Yngwie Malmsteen and the Scalloped Masts
In his youth, he worked for a time as a luthier in a guitar repair shop, where he learned about scalloped or scalloped necks, thanks to a lute with this characteristic. Intrigued by the result this quality could have on his music, Yngwie festooned the fretboard of an old guitar and was so impressed with the musical results that he decided to try it out on his own equipment.
Fingerboard Neck Guitar Scaled
The stepped neck is somewhat more complex to play than a standard neck, as the fret grooves force a more subtle and precise touch to prevent notes from sounding out of tune. But improving the speed of execution, adopting this alteration of the instrument permanently in his guitar equipment.
Yngwie understands that maintaining his stay in Sweden would be very difficult to develop his Heavy Metal style. For this reason, he recorded some demos and sent them to various record companies in the United States. One of them came to the hands of Mike Varney, who, impressed by the virtuosity of the musician, decided to invite him to Los Angeles to join the band Steeler as a guitarist. And with only 18 years he left for the United States and joined the band.
Malmsteen Joins the Alcatrazz Band
After recording an album with Steeler, he joined the Alcatrazz group with whom he also recorded a single album ( No Parole from Rock 'N Roll ), in which Malmsteen composed most of the songs. Starting to be recognized as one of the best guitarists of the moment.
Solo career
Yngwie needed to explore his music beyond the limits allowed by a group consisting of several musicians each with his own opinion. So he takes advantage of the success and recognition generated by Alcatrazz, to start his solo career with the publication in 1984 of the album Rising Force. Considered the Holy Grail of Neoclassical Metal.
Since then he has not stopped releasing records to the market, practically once a year, demonstrating his creative ability.
Serious Car Accident
Three years after the release of his first album, about to turn 24, Yngwie suffers a serious accident with his luxurious Jaguar. Causing him a strong head trauma, which keeps him in a coma for a week.
Upon awakening, he realizes that he cannot move his right arm, as a result of the consequences suffered by the strong blow to the head. Fearing for his career, he rushed into rehab therapy. Achieving in a miraculous way, fully regain arm mobility. Returning with his band a year and a half after the accident.
In 1997, and after months of intense work, he produced his first work with a symphony orchestra ( Concerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra ), demonstrating his technical and musical abilities. Making a well-deserved niche for this great instrument in the highest musical categories.
Yngwie Malmsteen, Guitars and Pedals
His main instrument is the Fender Stratocaster with DiMarzio HS4 and HS3 bridge pickups, with double superimposed windings. In other words, it is a humbucker but instead of having two parallel coils, it has them superimposed for a better mounting on a Stratocaster.
Later it was switched to the Seymour Duncan YJM, which are the ones that the Fender Signature Yngwie Malmsteen mounts. With a brass nut, and obviously with a scaled fingerboard.
Yngwie Malmsteen Fender Stratocaster Guitar
We also have signature strings from the same brand, the Fender Yngwie Malmsteen 8 - 46. Extremely thin strings facilitate speed, but the subtlety of the touch must be extreme so as not to detune the note, and even more so on a scaled fingerboard.
To play live, Yngwie uses a true wall of 4 × 12 cabinets with Celestion G12T-75 speakers, and Marshall Vintage 1971 Mark II 50W amplifiers.
Although its sound mainly flows from the drive of its Marshall amps, when it comes to pedals, it uses:
 - Roland Echo Analog DC-10 Delay
 - Wah Cry-Baby Dunlop
 - Roland PK-5 MIDI
 - Boss OC-2 Octave
 - Overdrive Pre-Amp DOD250
 - Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor
He also uses a Boss CS-3 compressor pedal for his electroacoustic Ovation Viper.

A New Path
A New Path lays out AFSC's seven principles for a new path toward a humane immigration policy. Learn more about our current work.
Develop humane economic policies to reduce forced migration
International economic policies, including trade agreements, need to be consistent with human rights, trade justice, and sustainable approaches to the environment and economic development in order to prevent labor displacement and its consequences such as forced economic migration.
Protect the labor rights of all workers
All workers are entitled to humane policies that protect their labor and employment rights.
Develop a clear path to citizenship
Inclusive measures must be enacted that lead to permanent residence and citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
Respect the civil and human rights of immigrants
Immigrants, regardless of status, deserve the same civil and human rights as all U.S. residents.
Demilitarize the U.S.-Mexico border
End costly, ineffective, and inhumane policies that have heavily militarized the U.S.-Mexico border region and undermined the quality of life of border communities.
Make family reunification a top priority
Recognize the distinctly important and valuable role of family ties by supporting the reunification of immigrant families in a way that equally respects both heterosexual and same-sex relationships.
Ensure that immigrants and refugees have access to services
Our values should not be contingent on immigration status. Public programs and services to address needs like public health or to fulfill our societal sense of fairness and compassion should never be dependent on a person's race, ethnicity, or place of birth.

Aim To demonstrate that the concept of carrying capacity for species richness (SK) is highly relevant to the conservation of biodiversity, and to estimate the spatial pattern of SK for native landbirds as a basis for conservation planning.
Location North America.
Methods We evaluated the leading hypotheses on biophysical factors affecting species richness for Breeding Bird Survey routes from areas with little influence of human activities.We then derived a best model based on information theory, and used this model to extrapolate SK across North America based on the biophysical predictor variables. The predictor variables included the latest and probably most accurate satellite and simulation-model derived products.
Results The best model of SK included mean annual and inter-annual variation in gross primary productivity and potential evapotranspiration. This model explained 70% of the variation in landbird species richness. Geographically, predicted SK was lowest at higher latitudes and in the arid west, intermediate in the Rocky Mountains and highest in the eastern USA and the Great Lakes region of the USA and Canada.
Main conclusions Areas that are high in SK but low in human density are high priorities for protection, and areas high in SK and high in human density are high priorities for restoration. Human density was positively related to SK, indicating that humans select environments similar to those with high bird species richness. Federal lands were disproportionately located in areas of low predicted SK.

The second benchmark we have considered is the faulty generic pipeline paradigm (FGPP)—see Sect. 2.4 for the description of the model. This system is scaled according to the number of its Nodes (agents), i.e., the problem parameter \(n\) is the number of Nodes. The specifications (universal formulae) we consider are as follows:
 - \(\varphi _1\) = \(\mathrm{G}(ProdSend \rightarrow \mathrm{{K}}_{C} \mathrm{{K}}_{P} ConsReady)\)—it states that if Producer produces a commodity, then Consumer knows that Producer knows that Consumer has not received the commodity.
 - \(\varphi _2\) = \(\mathrm{G}(Problem_n \rightarrow (\mathrm{F}Repair_n \vee \mathrm{G}Alarm_nSend ))\)—it expresses that each time a problem occurs at node \(n\), then either it is repaired, or the alarm of node \(n\) is enabled.
 - \(\varphi _3\) = \(\bigwedge _{i=1}^n\mathrm{G}(Problem_i \rightarrow (\mathrm{F}Repair_i \vee \mathrm{G}Alarm_iSend ))\)—it expresses that each time a problem occurs at a node, then either it is repaired or the alarm is on.
 - \(\varphi _4\) = \(\bigwedge _{i=1}^n\mathrm{G}\mathrm{{K}}_{P}(Problem_i \rightarrow (\mathrm{F}Repair_i \vee \mathrm{G}Alarm_iSend))\)—it expresses that Producer knows that each time a problem occurs at a node, then either it is repaired or the alarm is on.
The size of the reachable state space of the FGPP system is \(4\cdot 3^{2n}\), for \(n{\,\geqslant \,}1\). The sizes of the counterexamples for the above formulae, and for all our BMC methods, as well as for MCK are shown in Table 4.
The third benchmark we have considered is the dining cryptographers protocol (DC)—see Sect. 2.4 for the description of the model. This system is scaled according to the number of cryptographers, i.e., the problem parameter \(n\) is the number of cryptographers (together with the coins and the oracles). The specifications (universal formulae) we consider are as follows:
 - \(\varphi _1\) = \(\mathrm{G}(odd \wedge \lnot paid_1 \rightarrow \bigvee _{i=2}^n\mathrm{{K}}_1({paid}_i))\)—it expresses that always when the number of uttered differences is odd, and the first cryptographer has not paid for dinner, then he knows which cryptographer has.
 - \(\varphi _2\) = \(\mathrm{G}(\lnot paid_1 \rightarrow \mathrm{{K}}_1(\bigvee _{i=2}^n {paid}_i))\)—it states that it is always true that if the first cryptographer has not paid for dinner, then he knows that some other cryptographer has.
 - \(\varphi _3\) = \(\mathrm{G}(odd \rightarrow \mathrm{{C}}_{\{ 1,\ldots ,n \}}\lnot (\bigvee _{i=1}^n {paid}_i))\)—it states that always when the number of uttered differences is odd, than it is common knowledge of all the cryptographers that none of the cryptographers has paid for dinner.
The size of the reachable state space of the system is \(3^n + (n + 1) \cdot 2^n \cdot (n + 1 + \sum _{k = 1}^{n} 2 \cdot 3^{n - k} \cdot k )\) for \(n{\,\geqslant \,}3\). The sizes of the counterexamples for the above formulae, and for all our BMC methods, as well as for MCK are shown in Table 5.
4.1 Performance evaluation
The experimental results show that the SAT-based BMC with the IS semantics outperforms the SAT-based BMC with the IIS semantics in both the memory consumption and the execution time (as shown below in the line charts), but for the BDD-based BMC this is the other way around. The reason for this is that the SAT-based BMC with the IS semantics produces a significantly smaller set of clauses (as shown in Table 6), and the SAT solver is given this smaller set. Moreover, the produced set of clauses by the SAT-based BMC with the IS semantics is not only smaller, but also 'easier' for the SAT solver, which further boosts the performance of the SAT-based BMC method with the IS semantics. The reason for the inferiority of the BDD-based BMC with the IS semantics in all of our results most likely follows from the fact that in the IS semantics, the BDD-based approach is faced with larger sets of successors in each iteration, compared to the IIS case.

Oracle Sunset Transmigration is the 40th release on Absent Erratum. This anonymous submission features a total of 1 eponymous track of 20 minutes and 19 seconds. It was released on October 2nd, 2020.
Particles of darkness descend upon the soil as night falls ; the exterior retreats into the interior, where it is illuminated and inspected, its fragile composition dismantled, then mended – its unspoken language first heard; its unwritten orthography first read; its syntax untangled and coiled around the light. Amidst the weightless threads of speech and sound, Absent Erratum searches, rummaging around in the words that are formed as she touches them. Their meanings stay hidden; their shapes are obscure; and so she traces the filaments and fibers out into the gloom, where a stray glimmer rests on the leaves and branches. It disappears into her hands, a requiem for a vocabulary already forgotten.
You can listen to Transmigration here.

Purpose: Currently, development of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) after surgery is frequently being followed by legal action in Korea, as consequences may be fatal. In the current study, we assessed possible countermeasures that medical teams can take when faced with conflicting opinions on responsibility for PTE. Methods: A retrospective analysis of claims handled by the Supreme Court and subordinate courts, from 1999 to 2015, was performed. We analyzed the type of procedure, associated complications, and critical legal points from the recorded judgments along with any liability limitations on surgeons. Results: After reviewing cases between 1999 and 2015, a total of 18 cases were analyzed. There were no cases in which the surgeon was held accountable between 1999 and 2002. From 2003, there were instances of the surgeon being held account able, with a peak of cases in 2013. Legal standards applied in judicial decision-making related to appropriate use of preventive measures, operation characteristics, doctor's reaction towards symptom occurrence, obligation of postoperative medical care, and duty of explanation. Conclusion: The courts in Korea have changed their position from one of denying doctors' liability to one of enforcing responsibility for PTE. Surgeons are therefore being held responsible with greater frequency, depending on the details of the case. Lessons can be learnt from precedents that can be incorporated into medical education and training programs with the aim of reducing both major PTE complication rates and litigation costs.

In this paper, we propose a novel condition monitoring method for adjustable speed drives (ASD) and ASD-driven motors. The key idea is to diagnose the status of the load side of an ASD from observations made at the source side. The use of a higher-order spectral metric, the cross bicoherence, is proposed for the detection and analysis of anomalies associated with nonlinear devices in ASD systems. In this paper, we apply our method to detect phase imbalance at the load side of an ASD. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method provides a unique signature of phase imbalance for detection and classification of asymmetric impedance associated with the phase imbalance. Furthermore, the proposed method shows a more sensitive detection performance compared to the conventional imbalance measurement method, which enables early detection of potential faults.

Graph IDEControls ► Dial
The dial controls an angle. The figure below shows a dial on a window background.
To operate a dial mouse down over the dial and drag the mouse. The dial indicator will rotate to follow the cursor and the angle value will show in the Cursor Aide. If you press the alternate key then the dial indicator moves in 45 degrees increments. If you press the shift key then the dial indicator moves in 5 degree increments. By moving the cursor way from the dial center, while the mouse is down and the dial is active, you gain more angle resolution because the "lever" is longer so you must move the cursor more to affect a change in the angle. Thus, while the dial is being used, it is perfectly valid to move the cursor as far away from the dial as needed, even outside the control's display area.
If you mouse click the dial then that dial is active and then you can use the arrow keys to affect a change in the angle. Left arrow rotates clockwise by one degree, right arrow rotates counter-clockwise by one degree, up arrow rotates counter-clockwise by five degrees, down arrow rotates clockwise by five degrees. If you depress the shift-key then that multiplies the resolution by five, while the alt-key multiplies the resolution by two.
The dial is used to specify angles for rotation in the Graphics and 3D Graph inspector editors, wedge angle in the Circle inspector editor and angles in other inspector editors. The angle unit is always in degrees.

Published by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan _URL_: Paper number 051139, 2005 ASAE Annual Meeting . (doi: 10.13031/2013.19794) @2005
Authors: Randy R. Price, Goutam Nistala
Keywords: Guidance, autonomous, automatic guidance, PDA, GPS, ATV, soil sampler
A low cost guidance system is being developed for small agricultural vehicles (such as allterrain vehicles ATVs) to allow autonomous operation and automated soil sampling. The system uses a PDA, slot card GPS, microcontroller, and various actuators to provide autonomous operation of the ATV. Advantages of the system are that fields can quickly be reduced to sampling points and then sampled automatically.(Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)

A study of the energy performance of two buildings with lightweight and heavyweight facades – Energy & Environmental Assessment
Research with Atelier 10 shows that Traditional buildings are more sustainable than the modernist alternative.
ADAM Architecture formed a consortium of house-builders, a planning consultant and Atelier 10, the leading environmental engineers, to provide a properly tested comparison between a largely glass-walled lightweight building and a traditional dense-walled building with punched window openings and traditional materials. The research demonstrates the clear relative benefits of the traditional building type as against the glass-wall type, and confirms what all environmental engineers know but most architects would rather ignore: that traditional buildings are the most sustainable type.

Word Origin & History
O.E. lim "limb, joint, main branch of a tree," from P.Gmc. *limu- (cf. O.N. limr "limb," lim "small branch of a tree"), a variant of *liþu- (cf. O.E. liþ, O.Fris. lith, O.N. liðr, Goth. liþus "a limb;" with prefix ga-, source of Ger. glied "limb, member"), from PIE base *lei- "to
bend, be movable, be nimble." The parasitic -b began to appear late 1500s for no reason. In O.E., M.E., and until lately in dial., it could mean "any visible body part."
"The lymmes of generacion were shewed manyfestly." [Caxton, "The subtyl historyes and fables of Esope, Auyan, Alfonce, and Poge," 1484]
Hence, limb-lifter "fornicator" (1570s). To go out on a limb in figurative sense is from 1897. Life and limb in ref. to the body inclusively is from c.1200.
1590s, "edge of a quadrant or other instrument," from L. limbus "border, hem, fringe, edge," cognate with Skt. lambate "hangs down," English limp. Astronomical sense of "edge of the disk of a heavenly body" first attested 1670s.

 Regaining Ownership of Severed Oil and Gas Mineral Rights in Ohio
 Ohio's Dormant Minerals Act (Revised Code 5301.56) provides a landowner with the opportunity to acquire title to previously severed oil and gas mineral rights if the mineral interest owner does not "use" those rights during a specific 20-year time period. If oil and gas rights are not "used" during the 20-year period, then title to those rights vests with the surface owner.
 As originally enacted in 1989, the Ohio Dormant Minerals Act constituted a "use it or lose it" statute: if the mineral-interest owners did not "use" their mineral rights during a 20-year time period, then they automatically vested in the surface owner.1 The 1989 version, however, underwent substantial revision in 2006 when the General Assembly added certain notice requirements to the statute.2 Under the current version of the statute, the following multi-step process must be specifically followed in order to accomplish the merging of the surface and mineral interests:
 1. Confirm that the mineral interest at issue is not coal.
 2. Confirm that the mineral interest is not owned by the United States, the State of Ohio, or any political subdivision (for example, a county, township, municipality or school district).
 3. Ensure that the following "savings events" did not occur in the 20 years prior to the notice described below being sent to the holders of the mineral interest:
 - The oil and gas mineral interest has been the "subject of" a recorded "title transaction," which refers to any transaction affecting title to any interest in land, including title by will or descent," as well as warranty deed, quit claim deed or mortgage.
 - There has been actual production or withdrawal of oil and gas by the holder of the mineral interest.
 - The mineral interest has been used in underground gas storage.
 - A drilling or mining permit has been issued to the holder of the mineral interest
 - A statutorily compliant affidavit to preserve the mineral interest has been filed.
 - A separately listed tax parcel number has been created for the mineral interest by the county auditor.
 4. Serve notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to each holder of the mineral interest (defined to include "any person who derives the person's rights from, or has a common source with, the record holder" of the mineral interest) at the last known address of each, of the owner's intent to declare the mineral interest at issue abandoned. The notice must contain: (i) the name of each mineral interest holder and any successors and assignees; (ii) a description of the surface with references to recorded documents; (iii) a description of the mineral interest to be abandoned; (iv) a statement that no savings events occurred within the 20 years preceding the date of service; and (v) a statement that the surface owner intends to record an affidavit of abandonment.
 5. If certified mail notice is not possible (e.g., the certified mail notice is returned undelivered or unsigned), publish notice in a newspaper of general circulation in each county in which the land is located.
 6. Confirm that one of the mineral interest holders has not recorded one of the following documents within 60 days of service or publication of the notice: a claim to preserve the mineral interest or an affidavit that identifies an event that has occurred within the 20 years preceding the date of service or publication.
 7. File in the county recorder's office an affidavit of abandonment between 30 and 60 days after the date notice was served. The affidavit must contain: (i) a statement that the person filing the affidavit is the surface owner; (ii) the volume and page number of the recorded severance deed; (iii) a statement that the mineral interest has been abandoned; (iv) the facts constituting the abandonment; and (v) a statement that notice was served on each mineral interest holder or their successors or assignees.
 Although it is unclear whether the 1989 version, 2006 version or both can be used by surface owners seeking to reacquire severed mineral interests, it is clear that the proper use of the 2006 version provides surface owners with an important tool to regain ownership of these valuable real property interests. In all, the procedural steps under the 2006 version of Ohio's Dormant Minerals Act require diligence and attention to detail, but abiding them strengthens the surface owner's claim to the mineral interests at issue.

 - AbstractPaginatedDataItemReader.class
 - GemfireItemWriter.class
 - MongoItemReader.class
 - MongoItemWriter.class
 - Neo4jItemReader.class
 - Neo4jItemWriter.class
 - RepositoryItemReader.class
 - RepositoryItemWriter.class
 - SpELMappingGemfireItemWriter.class
Spring Batch 2.2.0
Spring Batch is a Spring-based framework for enterprise Java batch processing. An important aspect of Spring Batch is the separation between reading from and writing to resources and the processing of a single record, called item in the Spring Batch lingo. There are a lot of existing item readers and writers for a wide range of resources like JDBC databases, JMS messaging systems, flat file etc. If the resource of your choice is not supported of of the box, it is easy to implement your own reader and writer as we will see in a minute.
MongoDB
MongoDB is a popular NoSQL datastore. It stores so called documents (basically an ordered set of key/value pairs where a value can be a simple data type like String or integer but also an array of values or a sub document). MongoDB is optimized for heavy write throughput and horizontal scaling.
Since I am a big fan of MongoDB on the one hand and introducing the Spring Batch framework at one of my customers on the other hand, why not implement a Spring Batch item reader(xml reader) and writer for MongoDB(MongoItemWriter).
MongoDB Item Writer-MongoItemWriter
My first approach to the item writer was very naive. I just took the DBObject item list and inserted them into the target collection. This can be done with the following configuration:
<!-- write it to MongoDB, 'employee' collection (table) -->
 <bean id="mongodbItemWriter" class="org.springframework.batch.item.data.MongoItemWriter">
 <property name="template" ref="mongoTemplate" />
 <property name="collection" value="employee" />
 </bean>
These are possible parameters:
template and collection determine the MongoDB template and what collection to write to. These parameters are required, all other are optional.
MongoDB Item Reader-MongoItemReader
Implementing the item reader was straightforward. It was merely a matter of passing parameters to the underlying MongoDB driver API.
<!-- reader it from MongoDB, 'employee' collection (table) -->
 <bean id="mongodbItemReader" class="org.springframework.batch.item.data.MongoItemReader">
 <property name="template" ref="mongoTemplate" />
 <property name="query" value="{age: {$gt: 22}" />
 </bean>
We have three kinds of parameters:
template and collection determine the MongoDB template and what collection to read from. These parameters are required, all other are optional.
query and keys are making up the MongoDB query. The first one is the query itself, the second one selects the field to read. If you don't set a query string, all documents from the collection are read.
By default, the item reader emits DBObject instances that come from the MongoDB driver API. These objects are basically ordered hashmaps. If you want to use another representation of your data in the item processor, you can write a custom converter.
public class DocumentEmployeeConverter implements Converter<DBObject Employee> {

 @Override
 public Employee convert(DBObject document) {
 Employee emp = new Employee();
 emp.setEmpid((String)document.get("_id"));
 emp.setName((String)document.get("name"));
 emp.setAge((Integer)document.get("age"));
 emp.setSalary((Integer)document.get("salary"));
 emp.setAddress((String)document.get("address"));
 return emp;
 }
}
Example XML File To MongoDB Database-
Now we will discuss how to configure a Spring Batch job to read data from an XML file (XStream library) into a no SQL database (MongoDB). In additional, create a unit test case to launch and test the batch jobs.

 private float salary;
 private String address;
 /**
 * @return the empid
 */
 public int getEmpid() {
 return empid;
 }
 /**
 * @param empid the empid to set
 */
 public void setEmpid(int empid) {
 this.empid = empid;
 }
 /**

 */
 public String getName() {
 return name;
 }
 /**
 * @param name the name to set
 */
 public void setName(String name) {
 this.name = name;
 }
 /**

 */
 public int getAge() {
 return age;
 }
 /**

 */
 public void setAge(int age) {
 this.age = age;
 }
 /**

To improve diagnostic accuracy the ABCD rule of lesion screening is widely used based on asymmetry (A), border (B), color (C), and differential structure (D) measuring.
- A total dermatoscopic value (TDV) results from the calculation
TDV = A·1,3 + B·0,1 + C·0,5 + D·0,5
- This score contributes to the differentiation between benign and malignant lesions:
1,00 - 4,75 – benign skin lesion
4,75 - 5,45 – suspicious
More than 5,45 – melanoma
A – Asymmetry of Shape, Structure and Color. The lesion is divided in four regions and there is symmetry inspected across x or y axis. If asymmetry is only by one axis it gives 1 point and if on both axis there are 2 points calculated. So for shape, structure and color, there can be 6 points maximum.
Border and Color
For measuring border irregularities the lesion is divided in 8 regions. If in one particular region color is ends strictly with boundary of lesion there is one point. If lesion color changes smoothly to skin color then there is 0 points. So for B there can be maximum 8 points.
For color there can be as many points as many colors there can be found on lesion. Usually there are 6 main colors, so total 6 points for C.
Dermatological Structure D
Thera are 5 main structures noticed in lesions. No structures – smooth color – 1 point, net structure another 1 point, tree like boundaries another 1 point, dots – 1 point and globules 1 point. Total 5 points can be. In some literature there can be diameter of lesion measured for D. If diameter is more than 6 mm it can be stated as suspicious.
When looking in Total Dermatological Value formula, there are obvious that the main criteria are Asymmetry. It is usually the main screening option. It is easy to inspect yourself using this methodology. If there is any concern, it is better to visit your doctor.

General Productivity Growth in a Theory of Quits and Layoffs
An efficient matching model of quits and layoffs is developed to account for several empirical regularities. Differences between quits and layoffs over the life and business cycles and across demographic groups are generated by differential rates of general productivity growth. The standard approach to quits and layoffs, based on wage rigidity, is shown to be incapable of accounting for many of the empirical regularities. Although a formal test rejects a structural prediction of the efficient turnover model, the specification does well in predicting both the level of, and time-series variation in, the fraction of separations labeled quits.

How do I know if a small fish is a minnow?
Q: How do I know if a small fish is a minnow?
A: Not all small fishes are minnows; many are the young of other fish. A number of characteristics serve to separate small fish from true minnows. All minnows have naked heads except during breeding season when mature male develop many hornlike bumps, called tubercles. Some minnows also develop bright colors during breeding season, as suggested by such names as redside dace, redbelly dace, rosyface shiner, red shiner and redfin shiner. A single dorsal fin with fewer than 10 soft rays is characteristic of all native minnows. In carps and goldfish, the dorsal fin has a hard ray and more than 10 soft rays. Minnows lack teeth in their jaws, but have specialized teeth in their throat (pharynx) region. These pharyngeal teeth are useful in identifying the various minnow species.
Minnesota is currently home to 47 different minnow species, according to the Bell Museum of Natural History.

text: The authors derive a diffraction coefficient which is suitable for calculating the field diffracted by the vertices of perfectly conducting objects. This diffraction coefficient is used to calculate the field scattered by the corner of a metallic sheet. Two diffraction coefficients, one for edges and one for vertices, are derived by solving the appropriate canonical problems using the physical optics (PO) approximation. The diffraction coefficients are calculated by first using the PO approximation which consists of calculating the total field on the surface of an object from the incident field according to the laws of geometrical optics (GO), and then calculating the scattered field by employing this total surface field in a vector diffraction integral. The validity of the diffraction coefficients has been investigated by comparing their predictions with experimental measurements of the scattered field from a single corner of a rectangular metal sheet, and good agreement was found.

The patella is the biggest sesamoid bone of the human frame located in front of the knee. Patellar fracture account for about one percent of all fractures and are most common within the age group of 20–50 years. Modified tension band wiring is the excellent for displaced transverse fractures. The principle of TBW is that tension forces at fracture site are converted to compression force.
Materials and Method: This is a prospective study. This study was carried out at Sri aurobindo medical college and Pg institute during the period of January 2020 to May 2021. The functional status of the knee was analyse. Open reduction and internal fixation of the fractures were done by modified tension band wiring within 1week of fracture.
Result: The mean age of the patients was 33.70 ± 6.73 years with a range from 23 to 49 years. There were 8 (40%) females and 12 (60%) males i, showing a male predominance. In 8 (40%) patients sustained injury due to fall and in 12 (60%) patients sustained injury due to road traffic accident.
Conclusion: The modified tension band wiring is simple with a short period of learning curve, safe, inexpensive and effective technique in transverse fracture of patella because of good stability of implant, early joint mobilization with minimum complications and with easier post-operative rehabilitation.

Indio in Spanish is used to mean Indian, Indigene, and Hindu. Are all 3 meanings correct?
The word «indio» referes to someone of either the Eastern Indias or the Western Indias but is mostly currently referred for either an Indian national (someone from the Asian country called India or otherwise related to the Indian subcontinent) or someone ethnically related to the peoples who lived in the Americas before Columbus. I don't know of other parts of the Spanish-speaking world, but at least in Colombia «indio» is also pejorative for someone deemed to be less educated or from a lesser culture level (regardless of ethnical background).
The word «indígena» would roughly translate in English as native, aborigen or indigenous, so it could be applied to a Lapp (a Same) in Finland, a Australian aborigen, or to an indio in the Americas. It could also be extended to a white blonde German in Germany, although this meaning is rare. Correct but rare. In the Americas, many people say «indígena» instead of «indio» to avoid the other two meanings of «indio» (someone from India or the insult). As with any other ethnic related word, some people adopt it with pride and some people will feel offended.
The word «hindú» correctly applies to either someone from the Hindustani culture (Urdu/Hindi) or a follower of Hinduism. By extention, and to avoid the use of «indio» (to avoid confuntion to native Indians in the Americas or to avoid the pejorative meaning) it is also applied to the nationals of India. Most educated people will agree that «hindú» is incorrect when referring to just someone from India (unless related to Hindustani or Hinduism).
For avoiding confusion the word «hinduísta» will refer to a follower of Hinduism regardless of ethnic background or national affiliation.
Another related word is «amerindio» derived from «indio americano» wich refers to someone indigenous from the Americas, avoiding any confusion with «indio» and less incorrect than «indígena» when narrowing the meaning. Also, while some people bare proudly its name as «amerindio» other people takes it offensively.
So, in summary:
Although Indio is used as a polysemic word used to talk about Indian, Indigene and Hindu, in Spanish we have different word for those three meanings
That way, when you want to talk about one of those three, if ou say ust Indio asure to be ery specific in your context, so everyone can understand you're talking about an Indian 'Indio', Indigene 'Indio' or Hindu 'Indio'.
Using Indio for Indigene, sounds to me like some king of insult, and it is used sometimes in a pejorative way, always speaking about someone southamerican.

All existing superconducting instrumentation for measuring the concentration of iron stored in the human liver requires liquid helium for its operation. We report the mathematical modeling, optimization, and instrumental performance of an instrument that uses high-transition-temperature (high-Tc) superconductors. Requiring only liquid nitrogen to operate, the susceptometer represents the first medical application of the phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity with the potential for widespread clinical utility.

solar arrays
from French and Swiss grid (including the base load for the whole site)
Of the LHC total, LHC cryogenics uses 27.5 MW and the LHC experiments use 22 MW. It's hard to say how much of the rest goes toward LHC-related computing, lighting, coffee-brewing etc, and how much goes to the many other experiments and activities at CERN.
Orbit and Altitude
Altitude 408km — 422km
(on 2 June 2013. Has been as low as 331.5km)
175m — 50m below ground
about 450m—380m above sea level
Here is a nice graph of the ISS's altitude from launch to 2009.
Here's the source for the LHC depth figures, and an explanation of why it was built underground. I estimated the altitude above sea level going by altitudes in Google Earth at roughly the points where the LHC is deepest and shallowest. I need to find better figures for this.
Orbit Diameter 13 558—13 586km
(on 2 June 2013)
I used the mean Earth radius of 6371km to calculate the orbit diameter of the ISS,. I guess I should have calculated the diameter at the actual angle the ISS orbits at, but as a maths major I don't trust my arithmetic.
Orbital Speed 7 666.2m/s
(on 2 June 2012)
protons at 7TeV: 299 792 455m/s
(3m/s slower than the speed of light)
lead ions at 2.76 TeV per nucleon: 299 792 441m/s
(17m/s slower than the speed of light)
You can check the ISS orbital speed in real time.
Protons haven't circulated in the LHC at 7TeV yet, but they will.
I got the 2.76TeV figure from the LHC FAQ document (which is very comprehensive and interesting, by the way. I recommend it.) A nucleon is just a proton or neutron. But I couldn't find the actual speed, so I calculated it using this formula at 1:30a.m. I'm a maths major, so I can't guarantee its correctness.
Wolfram Alpha can calculate this by itself if you ask it 'relativistic speed of 2.76 TeV proton' but the answer is so near to the speed of light that it rounds it off to 1c.
Orbital Period ~92 minutes
88.928µs (11245 orbits per second)
either protons or lead ions at full energy
The ISS data used to be on the real-time tracking page listed previously, and the LHC figures were here. I'm going to need to find new sources for those.
Getting to Orbit
Zarya and Zvezda modules launched by Proton rockets
Pirs and Poisk launched by Soyuz-U rockets
Everything else launched by Space Shuttle with the help of its solid rocket boosters
Protons accelerated by Linac 2, then the Proton Synchrotron Booster, the Proton Synchrotron, Super Proton Synchrotron, and finally the LHC
It's all about protons and boosters. I'm all about tenuous connections and dubious puns.

AMS was designed at CERN, and one of those proton beams came from the Super Proton Synchrotron, which also accelerates protons to inject them into the Large Hadron Collider (see also the bottom half of the too-much-infographic.) The AMS control room is also at CERN.For a while the AMS was just across the road from my office. I took a few pictures of it just before it left, with my phone since my camera was broken at the time. One is shown below. The astronauts who installed it gave a talk at CERN a year after the installation, which you can watch online.

Countries Involved 16 111
The International Space Station's Facebook page and also the International Cooperation page say 15 nations. NASA's Human Space Flight FAQ says 16. I went with the higher number, because people from other countries are probably involved anyway. I know that at CERN, it's usually the countries of the institutions that are counted, when there might be people from many other countries working for those institutions.
Here is a list of countries involved in CERN. As a maths major, I don't trust my counting abilities, so I got the 111 figure from the LHC UK site. As explained above, the real number is probably higher.
1976 (Mir-2)
1984 (Freedom)
1986 (Columbus)
1993 (ISS)
Here's an interesting document on the conception of the ISS, which was essentially the coming together of several separate space station projects.
The idea for the LHC (sometimes called the Juratron in early papers, after the Jura mountains) had been floating around since 1977 (see this talk by Lyn Evans for a nice history of the LHC) but 1984 was the date of the first conference about it. The idea was officially approved in 1994.
On-site Assembly 1998—2013 1998—2008
Of course, this depends what you count. The LHC date is from the start of civil engineering to the completion of the beam pipe around the entire circuit including the detectors. There was a huge repair effort after the cooling leak in 2008, and there's work going on right now to upgrade the detectors and get the LHC itself up to the original design energy of 7TeV.
Operational Since 2000
(first astronauts)
(first beam)
(first collisions)
Operational Until 2020 2022
(after which it will be upgraded)
Some sources say the ISS could run till 2025 or 2028, but for now it's officially funded until 2020.
There are so many plans for upgrades and successors to the LHC that I'm a little confused as to when the LHC itself actually shuts off, but I'm going by the diagram in this article.
Estimated Budget
$72.4billion in 2010 dollars
unofficial calculation, not counting shuttle missions
CHF6 billion
Having a real-life space station occupied continuously for nearly 13 years, and finding out what the universe is made of? Priceless!
For the LHC, the figure of 4.6 billion is given here, but I chose the CERN FAQ/LHC Guide as the reference since it is newer and probably more carefully checked by more people. This was the booklet given out to volunteers at the 2008 open day.

Magda and Santa Muerte, Explained
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels' is a spin-off to the extremely popular and acclaimed supernatural television series, 'Penny Dreadful.' The Showtime series tells a story steeped in racial history while evoking supernatural themes at the same time. The show uses Mexican folklore as an entryway into the unknown. The show revolves around a Mexican-American family living in Los Angeles in 1938 and uses various actual historical events to weave a powerful narrative. You can read about the true events depicted on the show here.
However, both 'Penny Dreadful: City of Angels' and its parent show are supernatural series at the end of the day. The former derives its mythical quotient from Mexican beliefs and folklore. The protagonist, Tiago's mother, is seen summoning a deity named Santa Muerte in the first episode, in order to seek her help when she senses things going awry.
Moreover, at the start of the first episode, Santa Muerte is shown with her sister, Magda who threatens to destroy humanity by lighting a spark that would lead to apocalyptic battles between nations, races, and even brothers. Natalie Dormer plays the role of Magda and is seen in multiple disguises throughout the episode. So, who is Santa Muerte and Magda? What kind of relationship do they share?
Who Are Santa Muerte and Magda?
Santa Muerte is a deity associated with death. She is believed and even worshipped by Mexicans. Santa Muerte is extremely similar to other supernatural figures associated with death like the Grim Reaper. However, a better comparison would be "La Parca," a female deity of death brought to the Americas by the Spanish.
"La Parca" literally translates to "the parched one" in Spanish. As a matter of fact, those who worship Santa Muerte offer the deity daily offerings of water, as it is believed that she suffers from persistent thirst due to her skeletal composition. The Spanish never worshipped La Parca and she was just a mythological figure. However, indigenous Mexicans, before Spanish colonization, believed in several deities of death like the Mayan Yum Cimil and Mictecacihuatl. Hence, when the Spanish brought La Parca to Mexico, it is believed that the indigenous population thought of her to be similar to other death deities and began to worship her.
Santa Muerte is mostly worshipped by women. However, her worship is becoming increasingly normalized and accepted. This is mainly due to the growing popularity and acceptance of the Day of the Dead or Dia de Los Muertos. In fact, Santa Muerte is also associated with an entirely separate religion. However, it is also believed that Santa Muerte speaks to, or can be summoned by anyone who needs her regardless of their beliefs. For example, one can practice Catholicism and still worship Santa Muerte.
Magda, on the other hand, is completely fictional. There is no mythical or supernatural figure known as Magda that exists in Mexican folklore. That is solely a creation of John Logan. She was invented by Logan as a form of alter-ego to Santa Muerte. By doing so, he could portray the darker side of Santa Muerte's associations with death without really painting Santa Muerte herself as evil.
Firstly, Santa Muerte is seen as a very positive deity. Women worship her for fertility. Santa Muerte is seen as a caring deity who values life as much as she values death. She is also thought to bless worshippers with better health and financial success. However, Santa Muerte didn't always have positive associations. For instance, various death cults and those associated with drug trafficking have been linked to the worship of Santa Muerte. Some of Santa Muerte's best worshipers are narco bosses at the core of the Mexican criminal circuits. Therefore she has gained a reputation as the "narco saint," in spite of other devotees having no associations with anything illicit whatsoever.
However, the rise of drug trafficking actually has a lot of impact on people's beliefs in Santa Muerte. The Mexican Drug War has been responsible for increased death rates, and many sources believe that Santa Muerte is seen as a symbol of hope. However, for this very reason, Santa Muerte is rejected by the Catholic Church since Jesus rose from the tomb and overcame death as one of his final acts on earth, they tend to view death as an enemy rather than a passage.

The teacher said:
The referencing number is followed by the author's last name.
Wait... I thought "A is followed by B" means B follows A, that means A comes first, B comes next.

There's a chance the teacher was explaining how the reference is formatted at the end of the paper. From an IEEE citation reference guide:
[2] L. Stein, "Random patterns," in Computers and You, J. S. Brake, Ed. New York: Wiley, 1994, pp. 55-70.

Once you're at the end of the paper (as opposed to in the body of the text), the referencing number is followed by the author's name – just like the teacher said.
But your understanding of is followed by is correct.

While the Covid-19 downturn has seen widespread job losses in the oil and gas industry, energy intelligence firm Rystad Energy says demand for offshore wind staff will triple by the end of the decade.
From an estimated 297,000 full-time jobs in 2020, Rystad is expecting the offshore wind sector to employ around 868,000 full-time workers by the end of the decade.
Rystad bases its estimates on offshore wind installed capacity reaching 250 GW by 2030.
"This prolific growth will require a lot of skilled employees. In our analysis we have calculated the staffing needs in the number of full-time equivalent workers – one year of full-time employment for one person regardless of actual hours – and included only direct and indirect jobs driven by offshore wind capacity deployment globally," the company explained.
Direct jobs relate to development manufacturing, construction, installation, and the operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms, while indirect jobs relate to materials and services consumed such as workers in steel plants supporting offshore wind turbines, electronics workers at companies supplying nacelle components, and staff of renewable energy regulatory institutions.
"Oil and gas workers will also benefit from this expected growth in offshore wind employment globally, as they share some skills sets and essential offshore knowledge. Offshore wind areas such as foundation manufacturing, offshore construction, project development, and O&M have been highly relevant to oil and gas operations," said Alexander Fløtre, Rystad Energy's product manager for offshore wind.

Large wearing blankets with ribbon-appliqué borders, such as this one, developed in Oklahoma around the turn of the twentieth century, particularly among the Osage and Oto peoples. They reached a peak in production during the height of the oil boom in Oklahoma in the 1920s and 1930s. During this period, Osage families made substantial sums from the oil on their lands, and their lifestyle became increasingly comfortable. Accompanying this prosperity was an elaboration of dress that marks the high point in Osage fashion. Beautifully patterned wearing blankets like the present example became a necessity for all important occasions. Draped across the back and folded across the shoulders, such blankets are still worn today by prominent Osage women.

AP – New Mexico oilfield and air quality regulators on Thursday announced unprecedented state fines against a Texas-based oil and natural gas producer on accusations that the company flouted local pollution reporting and control requirements by burning off vast amounts of natural gas in a prolific energy-production zone in the southeast of the state.
The New Mexico Environment Department announced a USD40.3 million penalty against Austin, Texas-based Ameredev, alleging the burning caused excessive emissions in 2019 and 2020 at five facilities in New Mexico's Lea County near the town of Jal.
Regulators raised concerns about the excess release of several pollutants linked to climate warming or known to cause serious health issues, including sulphur dioxide.
The agency alleged that Ameredev mined oil and natural gas without any means of transporting the gas away via pipeline, as required by state law. The company instead is accused of burning off the natural gas in excess of limits or without authorisation in 2019 and 2020 – with excess emissions equivalent to pollution that would come from heating 16,640 homes for a year, the agency said in a statement.
The open-air burning, or "flaring," of natural gas is often used as a control measure to avoid direct emissions into the atmosphere, with permit requirements to estimate burning.
"They simply were not following what they had represented in their permits… They represented that they would capture 100 per cent of their gas, send it to the sales pipeline," said section chief for air quality compliance at the New Mexico Environment Department Cindy Hollman.
Representatives for Ameredev and a parent company could not immediately be reached for comment on Thursday by phone or e-mail.
Separately, state oilfield regulators issued a violation notice and proposed a USD2.4-million penalty against Ameredev for a series of regulatory infractions at one of the company's wells.
It accused Ameredev of failing to file required production and natural gas waste reports.
"Such reports are critical for operators to demonstrate compliance with (New Mexico) waste rules, which themselves are a key component of New Mexico's climate change policy," the Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department said in a statement. "Other required reports were submitted but were unacceptably late."
Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department Secretary Sarah Cottrell Propst said her agency was pursuing the maximum penalty available. The sanctions can be disputed administratively, and eventually appealed in court.
The Environment Department has ordered the company to cease all excess emissions and seek permits that accurately reflect its operations, with verification from an independent auditor.
Hollman said that the sanctions stem from anonymous calls from concerned citizens about open-air flares from the burning of natural gas.
She said that led to on-site inspections in late December 2019 at installations of tanks that receive crude oil from the wells.
"None of the facilities had permitted a flare and yet every facility was flaring," Hollman said in an interview. "Every site was different than what they had represented."
Advanced oil-drilling techniques have unlocked massive amounts of natural gas from New Mexico's portion of the Permian Basin, which extends into Texas.
But existing pipelines don't always have enough capacity to gather and transport the gas.
State oil and gas regulators recently updated regulations to limit venting and flaring at petroleum production sites to reduce methane pollution, with some allowances for emergencies and mandatory reporting.
Recent changes by the state Environment Department focus on oilfield equipment that emits smog-causing pollution, specifically volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides.

How should an employer calculate a term-time worker's paid holiday?
There is no specific legislation setting out how to calculate holiday pay for term-time workers. Employers must ensure that the paid holiday of term-time workers is not less favourable than that of full-time workers (as this would be unlawful under the Part-time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 (SI 2000/1551)). Employers must also ensure that term-time workers receive at least the statutory minimum entitlement of 5.6 weeks' paid annual leave a year. The employer can designate periods during the school holidays to be the term-time worker's annual leave and pay holiday pay in instalments over the year.
Where a term-time worker has regular hours during term time and their salary is paid in equal instalments over the year, to ensure that they are receiving the minimum statutory paid holiday, the employer can add 5.6 weeks on to the number of weeks the employee is contracted to work during the year, before averaging their pay out into equal instalments. For example, for an employee who is contracted to work 39 weeks a year, the pay that is averaged over the year must be based on at least 44.6 weeks of work.
For term-time workers without regular hours, the employer can still pay holiday pay in instalments over the year (for example, monthly or at the end of each term) ensuring that it amounts to at least 5.6 weeks' pay. In Harpur Trust v Brazel IRLR 1012 CA, the Court of Appeal held that the holiday entitlement of term-time workers should not be pro rated to that of full-year workers. The calculation of a week's pay for term-time workers with irregular hours should be based on the average hours worked during the 12 weeks before the calculation date, not counting weeks in which no pay was due (s.224 of the Employment Rights Act 1996).
Term-time workers are entitled to 5.6 weeks' paid holiday, even if this works out more favourably than comparable full-time workers when calculated as a proportion of the actual number of days worked during the year.
In Harpur Trust, the employer had based its holiday pay calculation on 12.07% of the employee's hours each term, following Acas guidance relating to casual workers. This was found to result in the employee receiving less than 5.6 weeks' holiday per year.


Two Main Ways About How the Olympics Changed Canada
Any major global event always leaves a city and a nation very different from how it was before the event. The Olympics has been one of the main reasons why some cities have changed their infrastructure and improved their stadiums. Canada had the privilege of hosting the Olympics for the first time in 1976 and have done so in three other seasons. Here are two ways by which the Olympics have changed Canada.
An Inspiration to Several Generations
The 1976 Olympics in Quebec brought a lot of financial strain to the city. Taxpayers had to dig deep into their pockets to make the event happen successfully. However, the results of such a hard investment are still seen to date. Before the games, not many were enthusiastic about the Olympics. It seemed like any other world activity until it landed on Canadian soil.
Since then more people look forward to every Olympic season, even those that were not there when it was hosted in Canada. A lot of kids sign up for Olympic associated sports with the hope that one day they will make not only their family but also their country proud.
The Growth of Host Cities
Calgary had always been a small-town way before the Olympics came to Canada in 1988. Since then, the city still has some sporting events that attract the attention of the media. Mayor Klein might also have a good reason to thank such a significant event. He eventually landed the position of a province's Premier after the games.
Vancouver also has a lot to thank the Olympics for. After hosting the Winter Games in 2010, transport and infrastructure improved immensely. The games brought the construction of the Canada Line, which is an automated transit that only takes 20 minutes from the airport to the heart of the city.

Building a CopyToClipboard renderless component in VueJS
Building a CopyToClipboard renderless component in VueJS
[00:01] The main difference between a regular component and a renderless component is that the latter doesn't output any html on its own. Its sole purpose is to expose the html is provided by whoever uses the component; and that is super helpful when you need two visually different versions of the same component.
[00:22] In my case I want a copy to clipboard button that replaces the copy text with the confirmation text and another version of the same thing that shows the confirmation text next to it.
[00:33] So these two share the same functionality but they are visually different. That's what renderless components allows us to do; have many visually different versions of the same component.
[00:44] So let's get started. I'm going to create a new view component called CopyToClipboard, and since we won't have any html we'll completely skip the template tag and jump straight to the script tag.
[01:02] When the user clicks the copy button we'll need to toggle a status attribute to display the confirmation text so let's add that inside our data.
[01:14] Then, inside the methods, we need a copy method that will copy to clipboard whatever text we pass to it. Now the most common way to do this is to create a textarea element, assign it the value of the text we want to copy, style the text area in such a way that it won't be visible on the screen, select its contents, and execute the copy command on it, and then finally, remove it from the document.
[01:58] To create the text area we can do const, el from element, document dot create element text area, and then to assign the value we can do: el.value equals text. And now to style the text area in a way that it won't be visible on the screen we can set the position to absolute and then give it a really large negative number for the left property.
[02:24] So we can do el style dot position equals absolute, and then for the left we can say something like negative 90000 pixels and then finally, of course, we need to append element to the body; so document body append child element.
[02:44] Now that we have the textarea in place, we can select its contents using
el.select(), execute the copy command to grab the value, and then finally, since we copied the value, we no longer need the text area so let's remove the element from the page.
[03:09] To offer some feedback that the text has been copied, we need to toggle the status for a brief second; otherwise people clicking the button will have no idea if the text was copied or not. So let's set the status to copied and then use
setTimeout to set it back to idle after a second has passed.
[03:36] The only thing remaining is to expose the copy method and the status attribute so they can be used by the parent component; and we can do that inside the render function. We'll need to return
this.slots.default, which is the default slot and here we can pass an object with whatever we want to expose. In our case we need to expose the satus attribute and the copy method. And that's it; our component is ready to be used.
[04:12] I'll go to the media library file and the first thing we'll need to do is to import the component; so import CopyToClipboard, and then register it.
[04:25] And now we can start using it we'll do: CopyToClipboard, and then
v-slot to access the object we passed in; this will contain our status attribute and the copy method. And then move the button inside our component to start using the exposed functionality.
[04:48] We'll add the click event handler that will call the copy method with the text we want to copy. In our case it's media.url, and then use the status to disable the button; so
props.status === "copied". This should disable the button, and then use the same status to display the confirmation text. So if
props.status === "copied", then display "Copied", otherwise "Copy".
[05:23] Now let's go back in the browser and, refresh, click the copy button, and here it is. Let's paste the contents and, of course, it works.
[05:35] Let's also style the button a bit. We'll do class, and check if the status is copied, and if it's so we'll make the text green, otherwise we'll copy this part and make it blue.
[05:59] Let's go back in the browser, refresh, click the copy button, and here it is.
[06:03] Let's move on to the second type of button. The one that shows the confirmation text next to it. I'll go to
EditMedia and the first thing I'll do is to import the
CopyToClipboard component, and then register it, and then use it in the same way.
[06:25] We'll do
CopyToClipboard and then v-slot to access the object we passed in. Copy the button and place it inside our component, and start using our exposed functionality. So on click I'll do
props.copy and pass in the text I want to copy, which will be
media.url. Then I'll set the button to disabled when
props.status === 'copied', and then finally, I will display the confirmation message: I'll do
v-if="props.status === 'copied'". And to style it a bit, we'll do
[07:17] Now, to make sure these are aligned, I'll wrap them inside a flex,
flex items-center space-x-2, and that's it. Let's go in the browser, refresh, click the button, and here is our text.
[07:41] Let's go over the component one more time. We use a status data property to toggle the confirmatino message, we add a copy method that creates a textarea element, sets the value to the text we want to copy, then styles the element in such a way that it won't be visible on the screen. We then select and copy the element's value, and then we remove it from the body. Finally, we toggle the status for a bit, just so the user sees that the text has been copied. Once everything is in place, we expose the functionality inside the render function.
[08:23] And that's it. That's how you can build a renderless
CopyToClipboard component using vue.js.

We also discussed words in English that end in ous/ious. That ending means "full of" - so we had fun trying to think of words that end in those letters and what they mean: anxious - full of anxiety; dangerous - full of danger; ubiquitous - full of "everywhere;" contagious - full of contagions.
