NYC Wi-Fi Hotspots Interactive Visualization

Image result for NYC wifi hotspots locations
Click to see the finalized NYC Wi-Fi hotspots interactive visualization in Tableau Public.
The project is to visualize the WiFi hotspots in New York City, which is the extension from my fourth lab project. Public WiFi hotspots are physical locations where people can obtain Internet access. They usually created by a business for public use, often found at airports, libraries, train stations, etc. The public can access the wireless connection by using a laptop or other suitable portable device, which is really beneficial that public like budget-tight students can gain tremendously from it. Even though public WiFi hotspots cannot guarantee the reliability and have some risks such as low security and low speed, they become more and more important in the modern society since the internet has become the basic amenities for the modern public.
For this project, based on the dataset—NYC WiFi Hotspot Locations from NYC Open Data, I aim to create an interactive visualization that can inform people of the exact locations of the WiFi hotspots in New York City, supported by analyses of the properties and configuration of the hotspots. By using Tableau Public, I intend to build a useful tool that people can search a specific WiFi hotspot and know its properties that may be helpful for them to plan to go.
1. Exploring deeply the dataset and deciding the design directions for the visualizations.
I first tried to find the data that have some degrees of relationship in between and may deliver useful information. For example, I found the data "postcode" and "number of records" may help to advise the number of hotspots in a region; I can use "location type" and "provider" to tell what the WiFi location type the provider supports. Ultimately, I decided to use the five primary data—"provider", "location", "location types", "connection types", "number of records", and "postcode" to form the four design directions:
 - The providers' hotspot locations
 - The number of WiFi hotspots in a region
 - WiFi connection types supported by providers
 - WiFi location types and their connection types
2. Grouping the data that is trivial
Before I started visualizing, I found the data "location type" contains some insignificant information that may not be useful or too trivial for people to know when searching a specific WiFi hotspot. For example, in the following picture, the data "indoor ap – community center – computer rm" includes too much minor details. Therefore, by using the internal grouping function from Tableau, I grouped them into four big categories and created another column for the new location types—indoor, outdoor, library, and subway station.
Figure 1. The original location types vs. new location types
3. Creating the visualizations respectively based on the four directions
A. The providers' hotspot locations
This is the main visualization for people. People can use it as a tool to locate a specific WiFi hotspot, knowing its provider, connection type, and location type. To best inform the locations, I created a dot map. Each dot is a WiFi hotspot location, and people can know the exact address of each hotspot with the tooltip when hovering over the dot. Also, I applied different colors with the color legend to differentiate the providers. In addition, to enhance the usability, I added the three filters—connection type, provider, and location type, so that people can quickly locate the WiFi hotspots they want by using these filters.
Figure 2. The providers' hotspot locations
B. The number of WiFi hotspots in a region
I used the postcode to create a choropleth map that reveals the average values of the regional number of WiFi hotspots with the hue progression. The darker color means the more numbers of WiFi hotspots in the region. When hovering over a region, people can know the postcode and number of hotspots in the region with the tooltip. I think people may get a sense of how WiFi hotspots distribute in New York City through this map.
Figure 3. The number of WiFi hotspots in a region
C. WiFi connection types supported by providers
I think the bar chart is the best way that people can compare different values at a glance. Providers are on the vertical y-axis, and the x-axis is the number of hotspots. Besides, I used different colors to represent different connection types that the provider supports. From this bar chart, people can know that most of the providers set up free connections and LinkNYC has the most numbers of free WiFi hotspots. I also created a connection type filter for people if they would like to see only one type of connection in a one time on the bar chart.
Figure 4. WiFi connection types supported by providers
D. WiFi location types and their connection types
I think location type is also an important point that people may concern when seeking WiFi hotspots. Same as the above, I also used a bar chart with connection type category to compare the four types of locations. The result uncovers that most of the WiFi hotspots are outdoor and over half of them are free.
Figure 5. WiFi location types and their connection types
4. Integrating the four graphs
I integrated the four graphs in the Tableau dashboard together and made the main three filters—provider, location type, and connection type applied to the four graphs that use these three data sources so that these four will vary at the same time when people apply the filters. With this way, I think people can gain more comprehensive information when interacting with the visualization.
Figure 6. Integrating the four graphs
1. Methodologies
After the interactive visualization was ready, I would like to know how ease of use of the interactive visualization was, so I started to prepare the usability testing and would like to see how people would interact with it.
For the testing, I built two versions of the interactive visualizations. One was with normal three main filters; another was to use the two bar charts as filters.
The aimed audience of the visualization can be anyone who seeks WiFi hotspots near his place or the target place. Therefore, I recruited three students to participate the usability testing and prepared to ask them to do the following tasks based on the two versions of visualizations—
A. Take a moment to explore the visualization and let me know what do you learn from each graph.
B. You are seeking AT&T WiFi outdoor free hotspots only and would like to know which region has the most number of this hotspots.
C. You are a commuter, seeking WiFi hotspots in subway stations. How many numbers of the subway hotspots in New York City? What's the connection type of the subway hotspots?
After the participants achieved these tasks, I asked them the following post-task questions—
A. How easy is the visualization to understand? (Rating from 1 to 5, 1 = difficult, 5 = pretty easy)
B. Any frustration that can be further improved?
2. Findings and improvements
Participants all think that the interactive visualization version A is easy to use and straightforward to comprehend the information from the four graphs, while the version B with two bar charts as filters is problematic even though the layout looks nicer and cleaner than the version A. Participants didn't know that the two bar charts are filters at the first glance and didn't realize how to return back once they clicked a specific bar in the graph. That means the usability of version B is pretty low. Participants even could not complete the tasks, so I decided to choose version A as the final visualization and some details can be further improved.
A. The title of each graph should be general to tell the main information.
One of the participants was confused about the titles for the two bar charts because he could not differentiate the main information of these two bar charts if he just looked at the title. For example, the title, location types and connection types, is not clear for him to know what the main information of the graph is.
Figure 7. The titles of the graphs are not clear to tell the main information.
Therefore, I renamed the title to only one main information that I would like to deliver to the audience, so I changed "providers and connection types" to "providers", and "location types and connection types" to " location types". The connection types on these bar charts are the supplement and secondary information.
Figure 8. New titles for the bar charts
B. The application of the filters should be obvious
According to the feedback from the participants, they originally thought that the filters were only for the dot map, so they feel surprised that the filters actually can be applied to the four graphs. I think it is maybe because the filters are all clustered next to the dot map.
Figure 9. All filters are clustered next to the dot map
To make the application of the filters more distinct, I tried to make each filter separated from each other, having gaps between them. In this way, I think it would be better to understand that the filters are for controlling the four graphs.
Figure 10. Filters are separated and have gaps between them.
C. Keeping color consistency is good but should care about not to mislead.
I kept the same colors for the choropleth map and the two bar charts. It looks nice but it actually would cause the misunderstanding. One of the participants thought that the color in the choropleth map had the same meaning as the bar charts, stating the dark blue means the region has more limited free WiFi hotspots.
Figure 11. Same colors in different graphs may have different meanings.
Thus, I changed the color progression to green in the choropleth map, hoping it won't be mixed up with the meaning of the colors in the two bar charts.

An integral representation of the displacement for problems of transient propagation of horizontally polarized shear waves is employed to investigate the diffraction of a plane wave by a crack of finite length. The stress intensity factors at small times are derived for an incident wave of arbitrary shape. For a step-stress wave the maximum stress intensity factors are shown to exceed the factors of the corresponding static problem by a factor 4 π. Brittle fracture is subsequently investigated by employing a balance of rate of energy. It is shown that for a step-stress wave the critical stress for brittle fracture is reduced by a factor π 4√2 as compared to the critical stress of the corresponding static problem. Ductile fracture is studied by assuming that yielding is restricted to a narrow band in the vicinity of the crack tips. The propagation velocity of the zone of yielding is computed and the location of the point of rupture is determined.

The CTOD toughness evaluation of repaired weld joints (presence of two weld deposits, complex mechanical heterogeneity and high residual stresses) requires some modifications of commonly used specimen geometry and testing procedure. This paper presents the results of the single edge bend (SENB) specimens with shallow (a/W = 0.16) and deep notches (a/W = 0.3-0.5) extracted from 20 and 30 mm thick multipass submerged arc welded (SAW) joints repaired with hyperbaric (16 bar) welding process at the toe region of the original SAW weld deposits. The results show that an acceptable toughness level can be achieved for hyperbaric repair weld metals deposited at 16 bar (160 m water depth). The repaired single-bevel joint on 30 mm thick StE 445.7 TM steel contained low toughness HAZ (LBZ) regions, whereas another repaired X-joint on 20 mm thick StE 52 steel produced high toughness. The CTOD toughness evaluation (according to BS 5762 standard and CTOD (δ5) technique) of both plates contained a series of shallow and deep cracked SENB specimens notched (through thickness and surface) at various locations of the repaired welded joints. The directly measured CTOD (δ5) values are consistent with the calculated CTOD BS5762 values. An effect of weld metal overmatching on through thickness shallow cracked SENB specimen results was observed as these specimens can produce low CTOD values despite their lower crack tip constraint.
Keywords: CTOD toughness, hyperbaric repair weld, submerged arc welding, StE steel

The basic nested loop structure looks like this:
int imageIndex = 0;
 for (int column = 0; column < columnCount; column++ {
 // Draw your image here at x position of (column * image width)
 // and y position of (row * image height). Add a bit to each if you
 // want some spacing between your images.
 // For example:
 drawMyImage(images[imageIndex++], column * imageWidth, row * imageHeight);

Its simple, use GridView with 3 columns.

You need two loops. The outer loop is for the rows. Each element in the row corresponds with a column, so the inner loop is for the columns.

Analysis of the Surgeons-Anaesthetists Communicative and Collaborative Relationship in the Operating Rooms (An Inside Perspective)
Introduction: Effective collaboration and communication among health care professionals are essential for efficient patient-care; however, collaboration can be challenging in a highly demanding, Operating Room (OR) environment, where different team members have a shared responsibility for a single patient.
The surgeon and anaesthetist are two physicians in charge of one patient, however with different focus and aspects of care, and thus their communication is importance to ensure patient safety, reduce medical errors and achieve the best outcome.
Purpose: The purpose of this research study was to understand the current collaborative relationship between surgeons and anaesthetists at a tertiary hospital, discussing different factors that might have contributed to this relationship and how that might impact, patients, practice, and healthcare trainees.
Design, setting and participants: The Study was conducted at a tertiary center university-based hospital on the east coast of Saudi Arabia, using a quantitative descriptive, cross-sectional survey design. The inclusion criteria included any anaesthetist or surgeon who had spent at least six months in the institution. The instrument used was "The Assessment of Inter-professional Team Collaboration Scale II" (AITCS II) in its online version.
Results: A total of 85 participants data were considered for analysis, the data analysis indicated a positive collaborative relationship.
Surgeons overall collaboration means were higher than the anaesthetists, but the difference was statistically insignificant between disciplines. Also the overall collaboration scores were higher among females but again statistically insignificant.
Conclusion: The survey demonstrated a positive Inter Professional Collaborative (IPC) relationship among surgeons and anaesthetists in the institution, with stronger collaboration seen amongst senior staff which alludes to the importance of the reinforcement of collaboration through role modelling and training especially in academic institutions, high lightening the need of involving program directors, educators, and policy makers, in the process towards a collaborative patient-centred care.

locus of attention
or focus of attention; the single source or location of sensory input that a person attends to at a given time, such as the point in space that they're looking at and able to devote mental resources to interpreting. In some cases, expertise can reduce the need for attentional resources, leading to the effect of being able to attend to multiple sources.

HowTo: Convert metadata from GXplorer 6.0 to GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6
Unofficial Content
This document attempts to explain all the things to take into account if you want to convert a GXplorer6.0 metadata to a GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 metadata.
What things should I know before converting the metadata?
There are a few things to take into account before even think to convert a whole metadata from GXplorer 6.0 to a GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6. The most important one is knowing how GXquery works (for more information, please refer to GXquery course ) and having a GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 installation.
Another important thing you have to know that this conversion involves a change of paradigm, GXplorer 6.0 uses the OLAP paradigm and GXquery 4.0 uses Attribute paradigm. So the consequences of converting a metadata imply changes or lost, of concepts.
The following concepts are changed when the conversion is done:
 - A partitioned measure is converted to N differents attributes on differents fact tables and without any relationship between them. Now the user will have to choose very carefully the table to navigate to make an effective Query.
 - At GXplorer 6.0 a dimension has an Id and a description attribures, that are considered just one thing. In GXquery 4.0 this is considered as two differents attributes.
 - If the dimension Id has more than one attribute, they will be considered as different attributes without any special relationship between them.
 - Filters at GXplorer 6.0 are defined for a measure or for a dimension. In GXquery those filters will be applied to some of the attributes of the measure or the dimension.
The following concepts are lost when the conversion is done because they are not supported in GXquery:
 - Filters of the following type: Ranking, Minimum and Maximum.
 - Aggregation restrictions (none, partially or totally).
 - Measures defined as a Count formula in GXplorer Manager.
How can I make the metadata conversion?
GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 provides a tool to convert a GXplorer 6.0 metadata easily to a GXquery 4.0 metadata.
This tool is called MetadataConverter and we can execute it by running (as administrator) the Artech.GXquery.Converter.exe application located in the Metadata Converter folder at the GXquery 4.0 installation folder.
Step By Step
Step 1: Open the metadata converter and select the GXplorer 6.0 catalog.
GXplorer conversion 1
Step 2: Select the destination folder and start the conversion.
GXplorer conversion 2
Obs: by selecting Advanced the following window will be open, and we have the option to set the server or credentials for SQL Server (the tool needs a SQL Server to create a temporary Knowledge Base as part of the conversion process).
GXplorer conversion 3
Also, we can follow the status of the conversion progress and get the conversion log.
Step 3: Done!
The conversion process it's done. As a result, we have now an.export file ready to be imported to GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 installation. For more information about how this step it's done, please refer to HowTo: Creating a GXquery metadata in GXquery.


Adequate Blasting for Maritime Vessels
Adequate Blasting for Maritime Vessels
A correct blasting process and the application of adequate treatments guarantee a long life for maritime vessels.
The Star of India ship was built in 1863 and it is still in functioning condition today. After many adventures on seas and oceans, under its original name of Euterpe, the vessel was sold in 1901 and it was renamed Star of India – a name that it is still bearing today. It kept transporting both passengers and merchandise until 1923, when steam vessels started dominating the seas. Time started taking its toll as well, the ship needing major repairs.
Blasting played an important role in restoring the ship's metallic structural elements. Thus, the old paint layers were removed, along with rust and other residues accumulated and the metallic surface was cleaned, allowing it, once again, to go through the necessary treatments in an efficient manner, which extended the vessel's life cycle.
The Star of India was refurbished and it met the ocean again in 1976. Currently, it belongs to the Maritime Museum in San Diego and it sails at least once a year.

Debugging Memory Issues with Open vSwitch DPDK
Debugging Memory Issues with Open vSwitch DPDK
This article is about debugging out-of-memory issues with Open vSwitch with the Data Plane Development Kit (OvS-DPDK). It explains the situations in which you can run out of memory when using OvS-DPDK and it shows the log entries that are produced in those circumstances. It also shows some other log entries and commands for further debugging.
When you finish reading this article, you will be able to identify that you have an out-of-memory issue and you'll know how to fix it. Spoiler: Usually having some more memory on the relevant NUMA node works. It is based on OvS 2.9.
As is normal with DPDK-type applications, it is expected that hugepage memory has been set up and mounted. For further information see set up huge pages.
The next step is to specify the amount of memory pre-allocated for OvS-DPDK. This is done using the Open vSwitch Database (OVSDB). In the case below, 4GB of huge-page memory is pre-allocated on NUMA node 0 and NUMA node 1.
# ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch. other_config:dpdk-socket-mem=4096,4096
The default is 1GB for NUMA 0 if dpdk-socket-mem is not specified.
Now, let's look at the times when we can run out of memory.
You can run out of memory when DPDK is initialized, which happens when ovs-vswitchd is running and the OVSDB entry dpdk-init is set to true.
A useful log entry to watch for during initialization is this:
|dpdk|INFO|EAL ARGS: ovs-vswitchd -c 0x1 --socket-mem 4096,4096
This will confirm that the dpdk-socket-mem you thought you were setting was actually set and passed to DPDK (thus avoiding the embarrassment of someone else pointing out that your scripts were wrong).
The most likely way to run out of memory during initialization is that huge page memory was not set up correctly:
|dpdk|INFO|EAL: 32 hugepages of size _PHONE_ reserved, but no mounted hugetlbfs found for that size
Another way is that you are requesting too much memory:
|dpdk|ERR|EAL: Not enough memory available on socket 0! Requested: 32768MB, available: 16384MB
Or you request none at all:
|dpdk|ERR|EAL: invalid parameters for --socket-mem
All these issues can be fixed by correctly setting up huge pages and requesting to pre-allocate an appropriate amount.
Adding a Port or Changing the MTU
These situations are grouped together because they can both result in a new pool of buffers being requested for a port. Where possible, these pools of buffers will be shared and reused, but that is not always possible due to differing port NUMA nodes or MTUs.
For new requests, the size of each buffer is fixed (MTU-based) but the number of buffers can be variable and OvS-DPDK will retry for a lower number of buffers if there is not enough memory for initial requests.
When DPDK cannot provide the requested memory to any one of the requests, it reports the following:
|dpdk|ERR|RING: Cannot reserve memory
While that may look serious, it's nothing to worry about because OvS handles this and simply retries for a lower amount. If however, the retries do not work then the following will be in the log:
|netdev_dpdk|ERR|Failed to create memory pool for netdev dpdk0, with MTU 9000 on socket 0: Cannot allocate memory
This case is an issue for functionality.
 - If you were adding a port, it will not be usable.
 - If you were changing the MTU, the MTU change fails but the port will continue to operate with the previous MTU.
How can you fix these errors? The general guide would be just to give OvS-DPDK more memory on the relevant NUMA node, or stick with a lower MTU.
Starting a VM
It doesn't seem obvious why you would run out of memory when starting a VM, as opposed to when you are adding a vhost port for it (previous section). The key is vhost NUMA reallocation.
When a VM is started, DPDK checks the NUMA node of the memory shared from the guest. This may result in requesting a new pool of buffers from the same NUMA node. But of course, there might be no memory pre-allocated with dpdk-socket-mem on that NUMA node, or else there might be insufficient memory left.
The log entry would be similar to the add port/change MTU cases:
|netdev_dpdk|ERR|Failed to create memory pool for netdev vhost0, with MTU 1500 on socket 1: Cannot allocate memory
The fix for this is having enough memory on the relevant NUMA node, or changing the libvirt/QEMU settings so VM memory is from a different NUMA node.
Runtime, Adding a Port, or Adding Queues
Didn't we already cover adding a port? Yes, we did; however, this section is for when we get a requested pool of buffers, but some time later that proves to be insufficient.
This might be because there are many ports and queues sharing a pool of buffers and by the time some buffers are reserved for Rx queues, some are in flight processing and some are waiting to be returned from Tx queues, so there just aren't enough buffers to go around.
For example, the log entries when this occurs while using a physical NIC could look like this:
|dpdk|ERR|PMD: ixgbe_alloc_rx_queue_mbufs(): RX mbuf alloc failed queue_id=0
|dpdk|ERR|PMD: ixgbe_dev_rx_queue_start(): Could not alloc mbuf for queue:0
|dpdk|ERR|PMD: ixgbe_dev_start(): Unable to start rxtx queues
|dpdk|ERR|PMD: ixgbe_dev_start(): failure in ixgbe_dev_start(): -1
|netdev_dpdk|ERR|Interface dpdk0 start error: Input/output error
For vhost ports, buffers are not reserved but you could see at runtime that you cannot get a new buffer while polling vhost ports. The log entry could look like this:
|dpdk(pmd91)|ERR|VHOST_DATA: Failed to allocate memory for mbuf.
If all the ports are needed, the easiest way to resolve this is to reduce the numbers of Rx queues or reserved buffers for the physical NICs. This can be done with the following command:
# ovs-vsctl set Interface dpdk0 options:n_rxq=4
or with this command:
# ovs-vsctl set Interface dpdk0 options:n_rxq_desc=1024
Alternatively, memory could be increased to ensure that a large pool of buffers will be available (that is, avoiding retries for lower amounts) but that approach scales only so far.
Further Debugging
If you run out of memory, there will be an error message in the log. If you want further details about the pools of memory being allocated, reused, and freed, you can turn on debug mode:
# ovs-appctl vlog/set netdev_dpdk:console:dbg
# ovs-appctl vlog/set netdev_dpdk:syslog:dbg
# ovs-appctl vlog/set netdev_dpdk:file:dbg
Allocated, reused, and freed messages will look like this:
|netdev_dpdk|DBG|Allocated "ovs_mp_2030_0_262144" mempool with 262144 mbufs
|netdev_dpdk|DBG|Reusing mempool "ovs_mp_2030_0_262144"
|netdev_dpdk|DBG|Freeing mempool "ovs_mp_2030_0_262144"
The name of the pool of buffers (that is, mempool) gives us some information:
2030 : Padded size of the buffer (derived from MTU)
0 : NUMA node the memory is allocated from
262144 : Number of buffers in the pool
There is also a command to show which mempool a port is using, as well as lots of other details (not shown):
# ovs-appctl netdev-dpdk/get-mempool-info dpdk0
mempool _USER_
If you have read to here, it probably means you've hit an issue with OvS-DPDK. Sorry to hear that. Hopefully, after reading the above guide you'll be able to identify if the issue was due to running out of memory and you'll know how to fix it.
Some guidance on how much memory is required and how to configure OvS-DPDK for multi-NUMA (including dpdk-socket-mem) can be found in the OVS-DPDK: How much memory and OVS-DPDK: Multi-NUMA articles on this blog.

We investigate the role of trust in strategic information sharing in global supply chains with both empirical and theoretical lenses. The canonical theory predicts that when economic incentives are far apart, no information will be effectively shared in any equilibrium. In sharp contrast, we show that a continuum of spontaneous trust exists among human decision makers who interacted in experimental supply chains (Experiment 1). We further demonstrate that cultural differences between China and the U.S. significantly affect how spontaneous trust manifests in within-country versus cross-country supply chains. In addition, repeated interactions lead to distinct behavioral dynamics between Chinese and U.S. individuals (Experiments 2 and 3). Finally, we develop the first analytical model of trust in strategic supply chain information sharing, and we show that the model can explain our experimental observations well.

Introduction: Halo Zeromedia!
Whether you had a passionate night with your significant other or just got a little too enthusiastic during a makeout session, hickies can be embarrassing and difficult to conceal. Fear not, Zeromedia readers, because we've got you covered. In this article, we'll provide you with tips and tricks on how to cover a hickey and prevent it from becoming a topic of conversation.
Understanding What a Hickey Is
A hickey, also known as a love bite or a kiss mark, is a bruise caused by suction or biting on the skin. The pressure causes blood vessels to burst, resulting in the collection of blood under the skin. Initially, hickies appear as reddish or purple marks and gradually fade into a yellowish or greenish hue as they heal over time.
Preventing a Hickey
Although hickies are not harmful, they can be unsightly and embarrassing. Here are some tips to avoid getting one in the first place:
- Communicate with your partner and set boundaries before engaging in any sexual activity.
- Vary your kissing techniques and avoid focusing on one area for too long.
- Ask your partner to use less suction or pressure when kissing.
- Wear a turtleneck or scarf to cover your neck during intimate moments.
How to Hide a Hickey
If you already have a hickey, don't panic. There are several ways to cover it up and make it less noticeable. Here are some tips:
Concealer is a makeup product that can be used to hide blemishes, including hickies. Here's how to apply it:
- Choose a concealer that matches your skin tone.
- Apply a small amount of concealer to the hickey and blend it into the surrounding skin using your fingers or a makeup sponge.
- If the hickey is still visible, apply another layer of concealer and blend it again.
- Set the concealer with a translucent powder to prevent it from smudging or rubbing off.
Your clothing can also help you conceal a hickey. Here are some tips:
- Wear a high-necked shirt or blouse to cover your neck.
- If you're a man, wear a collared shirt and tie to cover your neck.
- Wear a scarf or pashmina to cover your neck and chest.
Accessories can also be used to cover up a hickey. Here are some ideas:
- Wear a statement necklace or choker to draw attention away from your neck.
- Wear a hat to cover your neck and forehead.
- Wear large sunglasses to cover your eyes and part of your face.
How to Heal a Hickey
While you're waiting for your hickey to fade away, there are some things you can do to speed up the healing process. Here are some tips:
Apply a cold compress to the hickey to reduce swelling and inflammation. Here's how:
- Wrap some ice cubes in a clean cloth or towel.
- Hold the compress against the hickey for 15-20 minutes.
- Repeat several times a day for the first 48 hours.
After the first 48 hours, you can apply a warm compress to the hickey to increase blood flow and speed up the healing process. Here's how:
- Soak a clean cloth or towel in warm water.
- Wring out the excess water and apply the compress to the hickey for 10-15 minutes.
- Repeat several times a day until the hickey fades away.
Q: Are hickies dangerous?
A: No, hickies are not dangerous. However, they can be a sign of an unhealthy relationship or sexual behavior.
Q: How long does it take for a hickey to fade?
A: It depends on the severity of the hickey and your body's ability to heal. Typically, hickies take anywhere from a few days to two weeks to fade away.
Q: Can you get a hickey on other parts of your body?
A: Yes, hickies can occur on any part of the body where the skin is soft and thin enough to create suction or pressure.
Conclusion: Goodbye, Until Next Time!
Now that you know how to cover a hickey, you can confidently go about your day without worrying about unsightly marks on your skin. Remember, communication and respect are key to healthy and safe sexual practices. Until next time, Zeromedia readers!

Definitions for capitonym
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word capitonym
A word that changes sound and meaning when the case is changed; a case-sensitive word.
Origin: capital + -onym
A capitonym is a word that changes its meaning when it is capitalized; the capitalization usually applies due to one form being a proper noun or eponym. It is a portmanteau of the word capital with the suffix -onym. A capitonym is a form of homograph and – when the two forms are pronounced differently – also of heteronym. In situations where both words should be capitalized, there will be nothing to distinguish between them except the context in which they are used. Although some pairs, such as march and March, are completely unrelated, in other cases, such as august and catholic, the capitalized form is a name that is etymologically related to the uncapitalized form. For example, August derives from the name of Imperator Augustus, who named himself after the word augustus, whence English august came. Likewise, both Catholic and catholic derive from a Greek adjective meaning "universal". Capital letters may be used to differentiate between a set of objects, and a particular example of that object. For instance in Astronomical terminology a distinction may be drawn between a moon, any natural satellite, and the Moon, to be specific the natural satellite of Earth. Likewise, Sun with a capital may be used to emphasise that the sun of Earth is under discussion.

In English, 'interchangeable' is used to express two things that can be swapped and used for the same purpose. It's a bit different than replaceable because that refers to one thing's ability to be swapped. Exchangeable is also slightly different because it means something can be replaced by a different thing. For example:
My glasses have interchangeable lenses. I use the dark lenses when I am outside during the day, and the clear ones when I am indoors or at night.
My laptop has a replaceable battery, in case the original one fails.
Money is exchangeable for goods and services.
From what I understand, 'ersetzbar' means'replaceable' and 'umtauschbar' means 'exchangeable'; but 'austauschbar' seems to be used for all three. Is this correct, and if so is there a more precise word for 'interchangeable'?

 Why do you think a dictionary cannot answer this question? – Torsten Link Dec 28 '20 at 23:01
 - _USER_ I consulted Collins dictionary, which says umtauschbar means exchangeable, and ersetzbar means replaceable - but it says austauschbar can apply to all three. So does Langenscheidt. Cambridge says austauschbar can mean exchangeable or interchangeable. Also, I found this question _URL_-US/questions/_PHONE_ in which the answer given states that austauschbar and ersetzbar mean the exact same thing. That is why I posted this question. I'm confused as to how I would accurately communicate interchangeability, rather than exchangeability or replaceability. – teneyed Dec 28 '20 at 23:29
 - The only other way I can think to express what I'm not understanding, is if I were to say "Die Komponenten sind austauschbar." - how would someone know I meant interchangeable? Couldn't they mistake that for meaning you could swap the components for something completely different (like some magic beans for example's sake) or that the components can be replaced, should the need arise? – teneyed Dec 29 '20 at 0:08
 - There is a legitimate point here, both replaceable and interchangeable, having different meanings in English, and both translate to austauschbar. On the other hand, if the exact German meaning isn't clear from context, you could add an adverb to make it so; gegenseitig seems to work. It's often impossible to transfer the specific meaning of a word in one language to a single word in another language. dict.cc is useful for resolving this kind of issue. – RDBury Dec 29 '20 at 2:05
 - Add this explanation to your wuestion, then I will remove my close vote... – Torsten Link Dec 29 '20 at 8:16
It is the context that matters for these words in German. There are no hard rules really noted - so the following comes from experience. In the examples I use a valve (Ventil) in a radiator (Heizung).
Is used when I get a part that is exactly like the one that was there. For example to replace an AAA battery that is empty with a new one. Same build, same function. Most often used in the context of getting the same item as before and in repairs. As with "Ersatz" (replacement) the action "ersetzen" implies some item that is no longer working / functioning as expected.
"Das Ventil in der Heizung leckt. Kann das ersetzt werden?" "The valve in the radiator leaks. Can this be replaced?"
Is used when I want to exchange something. Rather even more restricted than "ersetzen" for items as used during guarantee replacements. Note that this can also mean I can get a very different item than the original purchase as the replacer sees fit.
"Das ersetzte Ventil in der Heizung leckt schon wieder. Ich fordere einen Umtausch." "The replaced valve in the radiator already leaks again. As it is under guarantee I expect a replacement."
While this word can be used for both the previous words (and will be understood by Germans after a bit of thinking) it can also be used in a broader context. From the verb "austauschen" its meaning is the replacement by a functionally equivalent item. Not necessarily the same. Implies also that the original item still functions although for whatever reason.
"Das Ventil in der Heizung ist schon ziemlich alt. Kann das ausgetauscht werden?" "The valve in the radiator is rather old by now. Can this be replaced?"
In context of language either "ersetzbar" or "austauschbar" applies if one word (or phrase) can replace another without losing the context.
With regards to money the more common word used by Germans is "bezahlbar" (payable). The monetary phrase "is exchangable for" in German becomes more often "hat den Besitzer gewechselt" (has changed owner(ship)) or "hat einen Wert für" (has a value for).

 I think a better translation for bezahlbar is affordable. – RHa Dec 29 '20 at 15:37
 - "Wechselbar" würde ich noch ergänzen. – user unknown Dec 29 '20 at 16:44

Research on Thermal Comfort of Crystal Sandstone Light Ceramics
The thermal properties of the crystal sandstone light ceramic products, nature sandstones, tiles and composite floorboards were analyzed and compared in detail by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermal simulation method. The results show that the different thermal properties are the main factors which lead to the different thermal comfort to these materials. It is analyzed in theory that the good thermal comforts of the crystal sandstone light ceramics are come from the low thermal conductivity and low density mainly. And the thermal simulation is a reference method on the thermal comfort research of architectural ceramics.

With the specification of Phases 0 & 1 of Eth2.0 reaching a comfortable level of detail, the research focus is shifting towards Phase 2: State Execution. One of the most important aspect of this phase is the handling of cross-shard communication, which determines the scalability of the sharded blockchain system, capability of execution environments, and the overall user experience. This post aims to provide readers with an overview of the design space for cross-shard communication, and look at the leading proposals among the available choices.
The design of cross-shard communication can be separated into two layers:
- Consensus layer, which handles the delivery of cross-shard messages. Design choices here affect the scalability of the sharded blockchain system.
- Execution layer, which concerns the interface for cross-shard transfers and contract calls. Design choices here affect the capabilities of execution environments.
The consensus layer of cross-shard communication is responsible for delivering cross-shard messages across partitions of our sharded blockchain system. The main challenge is keeping the design scalable while providing strong guarantees about the liveness of cross-shard messages. This layer can be divided into two parts:
- Send/Receive finality
- Data delivery
The source & destination shards have to finalize the send & receive of the cross-shard message respectively. The design choices for this are:
- Asynchronous: The source shard decides on sending the message first, and the destination shard can decide on receiving this message at any time in the future.
- Synchronous: The destination shard finalizes the receive of the message within a bounded period after the source shard finalizes the send. There are various ways to achieve this:
- Shards run some consensus protocol between themselves and decide on sending & receiving at the same time, e.g.: Sharded Byzantine Atomic Commit
- The source shard individually decides on sending first, and the destination shard's fork choice must receive within some period of time, e.g.: CBC Casper cross-shard messaging. This approach requires a shard hierarchy to exist between the source and destination, otherwise deadlocks can arise due to conflicting sends and receives.
- Put cross-shard messages on the beacon chain and force the destination shards to receive them before their next crosslink. (Note: this imposes a scalability limit, see protocol-delivered mechanism in the next section)
The synchronous approach is incompatible with the design of Eth2.0, since it requires the shards to coordinate the finalization of sends and receives in some manner.
The previous mechanism concerns the finality of the send & receive, which is not the same as actually completing the sending or reception of the message. This is the task of the data delivery mechanism. (The difference between these will be highlighted in the "user-delivered" approach in this section)
The design of Eth2.0 enforces that any consensus activity happens only in the beacon chain. This means that all cross-shard messages must "flow" through the beacon chain. This presents us with two choices regarding the delivery of the cross-shard message data:
- Protocol-delivered: The protocol delivers the complete data of the cross-shard message by making it available on the beacon chain. This increases the overhead on the beacon chain and seriously affects the scalability of the system.
- User-delivered: The protocol comes to consensus only on the minimal information about cross-shard messages – merkle roots of cross-shard messages from each shard block. The user is then responsible for delivering the merkle branch associated with the cross-shard message to the destination shard. This approach is more Eth2.0-esque, since it follows the general principle of forming consensus only over merkle roots on the beacon chain.
Proposed Design for the Consensus Layer
In order to prioritize the scalability of the system in the tradeoff spectrum, the solution with asynchronous send/receive finality and user-delivered data is the leading proposal. The workflow for, say, sending ether from
user 1 on
shard A to
user 2 on
shard B is as follows:
user 1creates transaction
shard Athat debits it's balance from
EE1, and states the target to apply the credit as
- When a crosslink from
shard Ais included in the beacon chain, a merkle root that collects all cross-shard transactions since the last crosslink appears on the beacon chain. This is the evidence for the inclusion of
shard Beventually becomes aware of this merkle root on the beacon chain, and
user 2creates transaction
TX2that shows the merkle proof of inclusion of
shard B. This allows a debit of the appropriate amount to
user 2's balance on
The execution layer of cross-shard communication provides an interface for users and contracts to make cross-shard transfers and contract calls. The design space of this layer has not been explored well yet. Recent discussions about this layer include:
- Cross-shard calls in execution environments
- Reliable transfer of value between shards
The basic question that this component answers is: What happens when an EE calls a function of another EE on a different shard? The design space for this is not unique to sharded-blockchain-land. It's the same as any system where the execution of an application is separated across multiple partitions, e.g.:
- single threaded vs. multi-threaded systems
- single computer vs. network application systems
Inspired by the above systems, a simple design for this component would be the following types of calls (Vlad Zamfir pointed this out in Dec 2018):
- Asynchronous call with no return
- Asynchronous call with callback specified
- Synchronous call
Alternative approached include various advanced concurrent programming paradigms such as protolambda's commit capabilities post.

Voice Technology Effective in Monitoring Diabetes Safety Events
A new study funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) found that providing interactive voice recognition follow-up calls to diabetes patients is effective in identifying safety triggers. "Safety Events during an Automated Telephone Self-Management Support Intervention" appeared in the May issue of the Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology. The "safety triggers" the study examined were problems such as extremely high or low blood sugar, not having medications or supplies, or experiencing significant side effects. Using an automated voice system, patients with type II diabetes received self-management support through interactive messaging. The automated system was effective in identifying safety triggers and the majority of eligible participants received at least one phone call. The results indicate that interactive health information technology can support self-management tasks for diabetes, but more research is needed to understand program design elements to address safety concerns.

Thrive by Five welcomes Federal Government investment in preschool access for Indigenous children
5 August 2021 – Thrive by Five has welcomed the Morrison Government's $120 million investment in programs to improve access to preschool for Indigenous children in regional and remote Australia as part of the Closing the Gap implementation plan.
Thrive by Five CEO Jay Weatherill said the announcement was recognition of the importance of high quality and universally accessible early learning.
"We know that high quality early childhood education sets children up for life. When children attend high quality early learning they start school ready to learn and have greater opportunities to fulfil their potential in later life," Mr Weatherill said.
"Currently, one in five Australian children are considered developmentally vulnerable at the time they start school. These children are more than twice as likely to be found in low-income communities as in high-income communities and they are also more than twice as likely to be Indigenous.
"The evidence shows that vulnerable children stand to benefit the most from high quality early learning.
"Thrive by Five welcomes investment to improve access to early learning for Indigenous children in regional and remote Australia."
The investment is an expansion of Minderoo Foundation's Connected Beginnings initiative, which has been adopted by the Government and partners with local organisations and providers in regional and rural communities to determine the best method of early education and care delivery.
"We continue to urge National Cabinet to prioritise overall early learning reform," Mr Weatherill said.
Thrive by Five is calling on the National Cabinet to adopt a five-point plan to reform early learning and childcare.
- Agree to a new Federal-State Agreement to deliver universal three-year-old preschool across the country to match the agreement in place for four-year-old preschool.
- Lift the childcare subsidy to 95 per cent for all children and set agreed fee caps.
- Make the childcare subsidy available to all children regardless of the service type and the income or work status of the parents.
- Start workforce planning for a universal system and fund appropriate pay and conditions for educators to end the problem of skill shortages, high vacancy rates and high staff turnover rates across the sector.
- To achieve these outcomes, we ask that early education and childcare become a part of the National Cabinet reform agenda to deal with complexities of the system and build a true national universal system.

Here is a solution to add columns to a list of an M3 panel in Smart Office without doing any M3 Java modifications and without writing any scripts. The advantage is zero programming. In addition, this technique is interesting when it's not possible to create custom Sorting Orders (QTTP) nor custom Views (PAVR) for an M3 program (for example Stock Location – MMS010). This technique uses a new feature of M3 called Custom Lists. To create custom lists you will need the Industry Enrichment Package IEP F09201M306 in MNS096.
In this example I will add three columns Geo code X, Y, and Z to the list of Stock Location – MMS010/B1. The values come from the fields GEOX, GEOY, and GEOZ of MMS010/F. This solution is an alternative to the solution of my previous post where I illustrated how to programmatically add columns to a list by writing a script.
The desired result is the list Stock Location – MMS010/B1 with three new columns Geo code X, Y, and Z.
To create this custom list I follow these steps:
- First, I create a new Information Browser Category in CMM310, GEOCODES in this example:
- Then, I create a new View in CMM315 where I include the desired new columns, MSGEOX, MSGEOY, and MSGEOZ in this example:
- Then, I simulate the list to select the columns to display and to select the order of the columns:
- Finally, I add the Custom List to a Mashup where List type = Custom:
With the new IEP feature and with Mashups we can now create Custom Lists in M3 by configuration only, i.e. without any programming.
For more information
To learn this technique and more, refer to the Mashup Designer Advanced training (code SMMA2) from the Lawson Learning courses.

One of the configuration variables we can find in the solrconfig.xml file is maxBooleanClauses, which specifies the maximum number of boolean clauses that can be combined in a single query. The question is, do I have to worry about it when using filters in Solr? Let's try to answer that question without getting into Lucene and Solr source code.
Let's assume that we have the following query we want to change:
q=category:1 AND category:2 AND category:3... AND category:2000
Sending such a query to the Solr instance with the default configuration would result in the following exception: "too many boolean clauses". Of course we could modify the maxBooleanClauses variable in solrconfig.xml file and get rid of the exception, but let's try do it the other way:
Let's change the query to use filters
So, we change the above query to use filters – the fq parameter:
q=*:*&fq=category:(1 2 3... 2000)
We send the query to Solr and … and again the same situation happens – exception with the "too many boolean clauses" message. It happens because Solr has to "calculate" filter content and thus run the appropriate query. So, let's modify the query once again:
Final query change
After the final modification our query should look like this:
After sending such a query we will get the search results (of course if there are documents matching the query in the index). This time Solr didn't have to run a single, large boolean query and that's why we didn't exceed the maxBooleanClauses limit.
To sum up
As you can see the answer to the question asked in the begining of the post depend on the query we want to run. If our query is using AND boolean operator we can use fq parameter because multiple fq parameters are concatenated using AND. However if we have to use OR we would have to change the limit defined by maxBooleanClauses configuration variable. But please remember that changing this limit can have a negative effect on performance and memory usage.

Guest halt polling¶
The cpuidle_haltpoll driver, with the haltpoll governor, allows the guest vcpus to poll for a specified amount of time before halting.
This provides the following benefits to host side polling:
- The POLL flag is set while polling is performed, which allows a remote vCPU to avoid sending an IPI (and the associated cost of handling the IPI) when performing a wakeup.
- The VM-exit cost can be avoided.
The downside of guest side polling is that polling is performed even with other runnable tasks in the host.
The basic logic as follows: A global value, guest_halt_poll_ns, is configured by the user, indicating the maximum amount of time polling is allowed. This value is fixed.
Each vcpu has an adjustable guest_halt_poll_ns ("per-cpu guest_halt_poll_ns"), which is adjusted by the algorithm in response to events (explained below).
The haltpoll governor has 5 tunable module parameters:
Maximum amount of time, in nanoseconds, that polling is performed before halting.
Division factor used to shrink per-cpu guest_halt_poll_ns when wakeup event occurs after the global guest_halt_poll_ns.
Multiplication factor used to grow per-cpu guest_halt_poll_ns when event occurs after per-cpu guest_halt_poll_ns but before global guest_halt_poll_ns.
The per-cpu guest_halt_poll_ns eventually reaches zero in case of an idle system. This value sets the initial per-cpu guest_halt_poll_ns when growing. This can be increased from 10000, to avoid misses during the initial growth stage:
10k, 20k, 40k, … (example assumes guest_halt_poll_grow=2).
Bool parameter which allows shrinking. Set to N to avoid it (per-cpu guest_halt_poll_ns will remain high once achieves global guest_halt_poll_ns value).
The module parameters can be set from the debugfs files in:
- Care should be taken when setting the guest_halt_poll_ns parameter as a large value has the potential to drive the cpu usage to 100% on a machine which would be almost entirely idle otherwise.

Yes. The frightened condition and the damage caused by the spell are separate.
I read the (amended) spell description as follows:
You tap into the nightmares of a creature you can see within range and create an illusory manifestation of its deepest fears, visible only to that creature.
- The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target becomes frightened for the duration.
- At the end of each of the target's turns before the spell ends, the target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw
or take 4d10 psychic damage. On a successful save, the spell ends.
Crucially, successful save in the last sentence refers only to the Wisdom saving throw mentioned in the previous sentence; it's describing the corresponding outcome for success to the clause describing failure in the preceding sentence.
Thus, nothing in the spell description makes the psychic damage or the spell duration conditional upon the target being susceptible to the frightened condition. Likewise, if the target was immune to psychic damage but not to the frightened condition, they would still be frightened for the spell's duration.
Since the ongoing psychic damage is independent of the frightened condition, that part of the spell continues to apply if the target is frightened and later becomes immune to being frightened, or has that condition removed.
Contrast this with the description of Fear: (PHB, p. 239)
Each creature in a 30-foot cone must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or... become frightened for the duration.
While frightened by this spell, a creature must take the Dash action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns, unless there is nowhere to move. If the creature ends its turn in a location where it doesn't have line of sight to you, the creature can make a Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the spell ends for that creature.
Fear is similar to Phantasmal Killer in that it initially imposes a condition on the target(s), and then has additional effects on each of the targets' turns. But, unlike Phantasmal Killer, Fear makes it clear that the ongoing effects are conditional on the initial condition by using the conditional phrase "While frightened by this spell... ". There is no such condition applied to the ongoing damage effect of Phantasmal Killer, so it doesn't seem reasonable to read the spell as having the first saving throw mitigate all of the further described effects.
Thus, the target of Phantasmal Killer makes a save when the spell is cast, and is frightened if it fails, and they make a save on each of their turns while the spell is in effect. As soon as they succeed on any of the second kind of saves, the spell ends (and it will also end if the caster loses concentration, or one minute passes).


Hi all,
I am trying to drill deeper into Flash player IOError handling in AS3, in
order to distinguish different types of load failures when loading child
swfs and data into a parent swf. For instance, I need to know, and react
differently to, loads errors where the file is missing altogether vs. loads
where severe network congestion mid-load interrupts a load after a part of
the file has been received.
Can anyone offer some deeper information on exactly what initial
condition(s) triggers an IOError event? Is it time-based (no bytes loaded in
N ms), a reaction to a server response, something else? I've been googling
and reading through Adobe docs all morning and haven't seen anything deeper
than the often repeated, but largely unhelpful Adobe line: "FlashR Player
dispatches an IOErrorEvent object when an error causes a send or load
operation to fail." I'm looking for more depth than that. A definition of
"error" and the criteria used to decide the load was a failure, for
instance, would be a good start.
Any info. or directions to look would be greatly appreciated.

SEED: Social Economic Environmental Design® provides a common standard to guide, evaluate and measure the social, economic and environmental impact of design projects.
SEED maintains the belief that design can play a vital role in the most critical issues that face communities and individuals, in crisis and in every day challenges. To accomplish this, the SEED® process guides professionals to work alongside locals who know their community and its needs. This practice of "trusting the local" is increasingly recognized as a highly effective way to sustain the health and longevity of a place or a community as it develops.
The name "SEED" was first proposed during a 2005 meeting at the Harvard Graduate School of Design where architects, designers, and other diverse experts in the public interest design movement convened to evaluate how design could respond to the triple bottom line of social, economic, and environmental justice.
SEED's Mission is to advance the right of every person to live in a socially, economically and environmentally healthy community.
- The SEED guiding principles are:
- SEED Principle 1: Advocate with those who have a limited voice in public life.
- SEED Principle 2: Build structures for inclusion that engage stakeholders and allow communities to make decisions.
- SEED Principle 3: Promote social equality through discourse that reflects a range of values and social identities.
- SEED Principle 4: Generate ideas that grow from place and build local capacity.
- SEED Principle 5: Design to help conserve resources and minimize waste.

MSP Task hours change to 0 when replacing a resource
Article ID: 220487
Updated On:
Clarity PPM On Premise Clarity PPM SaaS
Issue with the replacement of resources in Microsoft Project (MSP) where hours are getting dropped when replacing the resource.
Example: You have a role or resource is assigned to a Task with 40 hours. When you select another another resource to assign to the task in MSP, the hours in MSP change to 0
This is due to the resource that the role or resource being replaced with has max units set to 0%. Max units is pulled from the team members allocation for the current day the project is exported from Clarity (See Max Units on Resource Sheet in MSP), so if the resource's allocation on the team tab for today's date is 0, this will give them 0 max units in MSP. Therefore, when the replace is done, MSP sees the resource has no allocation / availability to work on the task and the hours get dropped.
This will happen regardless of whether MSP Assignment Units Mapping with PPM Assignment 'Max % Load is checked or not in Clarity since this the project is now opened in MSP, and MSP owns how the task units are calculated (pulled from the Max units)
Release : All
Component : Clarity Microsoft Project Integration
 1. Assign the resource allocation in Clarity for the current day.
 2. Or, you can readd the hours back after doing the replacement of the resource.

How to Use Counter Caches in Rails (Example)
Counter caches are great until you get 20,000 people following the same influencer and the counter cache on that person locks the whole database.
The goal of this post is to go through the basics of counter caches explaining possible alternatives to overcome this.
What are counter caches for?
Counter caches were created to cache the counts of associated records.
Imagine we are developing a social media application where we have influencers and fans:
Everytime we display an influencer in the list we want to show how many followers he has.
The naive approach to achieve this is doing a count of the associated fan records for each influencer.
While this might be enough if we are rendering only one influencer, it definitely does not scale well if we are going to render a list of many influencers, since it's going to trigger a select count query for each influencer.
In the logs we get:
… and goes on for each influencer…
That's when counter caches gain importance. Counter caches are a built in Rails feature that allows you to track the associated records count by doing almost nothing. It only requires you to add a new integer column in the influencers table and let the associated model know that it has to update that column every time a records gets created or destroyed (or is no longer referencing the influencer).
To use Rails counter caches you need to create a migration to add a new integer column to the associated model:
Let the FanInfluencer model know it has to update the counter cache in the influencer model:
Reset the counters for existing records with:
And then you are ready to use the new column like you would with any other attribute:
Using the new counter cache the db will execute only one query that will select the influencers to be rendered, since fans_count is now just a column on the influencer and no counts or joins with other tables are needed.
(Should you need more complex counter caches, consider using Counter culture gem that works around some deficiencies in Rails original counter caches.)
So… what's the problem?
Counter Caches have a fairly simple implementation using callbacks to keep this column updated. Every time a fan influencer record is created, updated, or destroyed, the counter cache on the corresponding influencer needs to get updated. This might make these type of operations slower. If that's a cost you can take, go ahead. But consider the following situation:
Imagine a very famous influencer has been advertised and suddenly all of our users click on 'Follow'. Every 'Follow' action on that influencer creates a fanInfluencer record, which will end in the db trying to execute many update queries to the counter cache of the influencer around the same time, locking up that db row and making our users requests time out. Ugh…
First solution. Use an SQL alternative to dynamically calculate the count without falling into the n+1 problem raised before introducing the counter caches.
We need to add the following scope on the influencer model:
When we load the influencers to render we need to use the new scope:
And then we just call fans_count for a particular influencer to get the counter.
In the logs we get:
This solution is slower than having the counter cache when rendering the influencer list since the latter one only has to select attributes of the same table. However, using this method you don't need to keep any counter cache column updated, making create/destroy/update actions on the fan_influencer table simpler since they don't trigger any callback afterwards. The db lock problem will go away.
So, this SQL alternative could be appropriate for you if:
 - You have many create/destroy/update actions on the fan_influencer table in comparison to requesting the influencers fans count.
 - Your app is prone to facing situations like the mentioned above, where the counter cache of a single record could get updated more times in a small period of time than it can handle.
Comparing the three approaches
We measured the time it took to request all the influencers each with his fans count using the three different approaches. In the db there were only 10 influencers and 1,000 fans, all the fans following all the influencers. The times are calculated as the average Active Record time of 5 runs.
Method #1: Using naive approach (fans.count)
Method #2: Using counter cache column
Method #3: Using SQL dynamic count
Second solution. Store the changes of the counter in a buffer in a faster storage first (like redis or Memcached) to later update the real value in the database.
After a fan_influencer record has been created or destroyed, the value in the redis cache for the influencer key is increased or decreased by one. After a couple of seconds, the count value for the redis key is added (or subtracted) to the counter cache in the db, and reset to 0.
A good idea is to also use a recalculation job once in a while, to make sure the counters are updated with the real count value, compensating for transient errors that may cause the deferred counters to drift from the actual value.
There are many gems that help you achieve this if you don't want to implement it yourself.
In this post it was used Wanelo gem to enqueue the jobs for me, but since it hasn't been committed to since Oct 7, 2016 you might want to implement that part yourself.
Next it's explained how to achieve this using that gem and assuming you have redis and a background worker installed. In this case it was used Delayed Jobs as the worker but you will see that it is very simple to modify the solution to use another one.
Start by configuring the gem with:
Let the fanInfluencer model know how to use the counter cache:
Create a method in the influencer to update the count to the real value
And here is where the fun part begins.
The gem adds a callback after a FanInfluencer record gets created or destroyed that triggers the enqueue method in the class called CCWorker as we configured before. So we need to create this class:
As you might have noticed, the enqueue method decides which Enqueuer class to delegate the execution to depending on the option 'cache'. Since the gem is the one that makes the calls to this method with the right arguments, we just need to implement those two modes knowing that we will receive two calls after a fanInfluencer has been created or destroyed: one for recalculation and one for deffered.
We can begin by creating the parent Enqueuer class, that decides if the job needs to be enqueued or if it's already pending.
We will now implement the deferred mode, for which we will define the 'execute' method that will be called by the asyncrhonous worker once the time is up. For this mode the gem comes with a counter class that does the buffering and updating part for us, so we just need to use it.
For the recalculation mode, we will call the method that we defined in the influencer at the begging, to reset the counter agains the real count. The name of this method comes in the options so we need to invoke it.
And that's it. Now we can try creating and destroying fans and influencers and we will see how their count changes after the number of seconds that we picked, and a recalculation job is enqueued for later.
To test it, we can create 100 fans that would follow Taylor Swift.
For each fanInfluencer created we can see logs like the following, where after the fanInfluencer record is created, two delayed jobs are inserted:
You can see in the redis cli console how the new keys are created, with the values 100 in the key for the buffer managed by the gem, and a 1 in the other two keys that mark the corresponding jobs as enqueued so they won't be enqueued again. In this case '104' that you see in the key name corresponds to the id of the influencer created.
After the 20 seconds (or whatever you configured for the env var) have passed, if you turned on your worker, we can see Taylor Swifts fans count has been raised.
To test the recalculation mode, we can update the fans count to any other incorrect value and wait until the recalculation method fixes it.
Notice that when using Delayed Jobs, since two jobs need to be enqueued (inserted into the db) after a fanInfluencer has been created, the 'follow' action is in total slower than before when no other 'follow' action is being performed at the same time. However, under big load the row contention problem does not happen, making this approach more efficient in that case.
Since the solution for the enqueuer does not depend on the influencer model, you can reuse it for any other counter cache that you may want to optimize, just by configuring the counter cache in the associated class and defining the recalculation method.

 Amazing, I implemented a similar solution in my company and now I'm writing a Gem to do it!
 Does this code has any license attached to it?

A spring tension rod is a certain type of rod that is used to create tension between a rod and the wall to which it is installed. It is comprised of two pieces that can be placed inside of one another and a coil spring which is placed inside the rod. When the two pieces get pressed against each other, tension is created and maintained by installing a screw.Continue Reading
Spring tension rods are used for certain types of fixtures that need to be placed in tight spots. Spring tension rods are commonly found as parts of a shower curtain, or in the installation of certain types of window curtains. Generally, they are used when the material they need to support is light. Heavier objects, when draped over a spring tension rod, can overpower the tension and cause the rod to fall.
Often spring tension rods are used to hold up a curtain without doing damage to the walls. Since a curtain is lightweight, the simple tension provided by the coil inside of the rod is enough to keep it up. Sometimes spring tension coils are used inside of other types of rods, such as those found within closets. Because they are adjustable, these rods can fit in different types of rooms or areas.Learn more about Decor

Seismic vibrations from wind turbines and their effects on the seismometer array at Eskdalemuir
The CTBTO (Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organisation) IMS seismometer array station located at Eskdalemuir in Scotland has been operating since 1962. It is vital that the government and MoD safeguard the array from excessive seismic vibration noise. The presentation reviews the work undertaken by the EWG (Eskdalemuir Working Group) a cross government/industry group, in reviewing a vibration budget in relation to seismic vibration from wind turbines. The work outlines measurement analysis and modelling to develop an understanding of how wind turbines generate seismic waves. In turn this work was used to develop a model to predict seismic ground waves that could be used to refine and define the wind turbine exclusion and 50km consultation zone around the array.

Adding a Text Conversation
To add a Text Conversation to your book, select the paragraphs you wish to format and choose the Text Conversation item from the Text Feature menu.
✨ This feature was added in Vellum 3.4. Make sure you are up-to-date.
A conversation consists of any number of messages sent between characters, as well as optional names for the sender of the message. To format the conversation, you can configure the type of content for each line of text:
You can make these assignments in the Text Editor:
Note: Any Contact Name will be automatically associated with the following message.
In your book, the conversation will be styled to resemble a series of text messages:
The appearance shown above is one of several options for how messages are displayed. You can find more options in the Text Conversation section of Styles:
Keep Lines on Same Page
It's possible for a page break to occur within the middle of a conversation. If you'd prefer this not happen, you can make use of Keep Lines on Same Page, accessible from the gear menu:
With Keep Lines on Same Page enabled, the whole conversation will stay together on the same page of your book.
Note: Keep Lines on Same Page is not supported by Kobo or Google Play. Vellum's Preview will reflect this.
Sideloading on Kindle for iPhone
In the Kindle app for iOS, text message bubbles (and other styling) can only be seen in ebooks purchased from Amazon. The Kindle app displays extremely limited formatting for books that are sideloaded, so text messages will only be left and right aligned. This only applies to the Kindle app, and only on iPhone and iPad.

An alternative to Ned's variable-value-based method is to use two different templates that extend a common base template. E.g.
In templates/base.html:
 {% block main_body %}
 {% endblock main_body %}
 etc., etc.
Then have your algebra view use templates/algebra.html:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block main_body %}
 do algebra stuff here
{% end block main_body %}
and do something similar for math or whatever. Each approach has advantages and disadvantages. Pick the one that feels like the best fit to your problem.
Update: You pass "algebra.html" as the first argument to render_to_response(). It extends "base.html" in that it uses all of it except for the block(s) it explicitly replaces. See Template Inheritance for an explanation of how this works. Template inheritance is a very powerful concept for achieving a consistent look and feel across a large number of pages which differ in their body, but share some or all of the menus, etc. And you can do multi-level template inheritance which is extremely nice for managing sites that have subsections which have significant differences with the "main look" and yet want to share as much HTML/CSS as possible.
This is a key principle in DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) in the template world.

What is your view -method? Is it def common_view(request): ctx = Context(); return_to_response("base.html", ctx)? – Masi Jan 5 '10 at 4:04

You don't show your view functions, but here's a simple structure:
def algebra(request):
 return common_view(request, algebra=True)
def math(request):
 return common_view(request, math=True)
def common_view(request, math=False, algebra=False):
 ctx = Context()
 ctx['algebra'] = algebra
 ctx['math'] = math
 # blah blah, all the other stuff you need in the view...
 return render_to_response("base.html", ctx)

USDA-ARS Malting Barley Breeding in Idaho
Malting barley production in the western United States was dominated by two-rowed varieties introduced from Europe until the release of the variety Klages in 1973. There are numerous reasons for this, but two stand out. Breeding programs focused on feed varieties during prohibition so it was some time before they were able to incorporate the desired malting and brewing quality into varieties adapted to the region. Secondly, 90% of the malt US brewers were using in the 1950s was made from six-row varieties, so European two-row varieties like Betzes from Poland, Moravian from Czechoslovakia, and Piroline from Germany were able to supply the industry with all the two-row it needed.

You are invited to join us in coming up with daring and creative solutions, and we want to hear your questions around pressing issues. In these increasingly serious times, we welcome the weird, wacky, and wonderful. Maybe even a sprinkling of magic.
We aim to address big questions like:
 - Why do people eat the way they do?
 - How does digital information influence our physical reality?
 - What role can technology play in creating new eating experiences?
 - How can we rethink what it means to eat together?
 - The conference is fully online and free of charge.
 - Registration deadline is November 26

April 2015 Queen Stitch
The Queen Stitch, also known as the Renaissance Stitch is one of the oldest popular stitches dating from the 16th and 17th Century. It was a favorite in the 18th Century resulting in beautiful regular patterns. The stitch is also known as the Rococo stitch from the American Revolution time when they didn't want anything to sound "royal". A globe shaped canvas stitch which can be used as a background, worked as a single sitich, and in diagonal rows.
