Moon Maid
Publication information
Publisher Tribune Media Services
Created by Chester Gould
Moon Maid was a major character at one period in the Dick Tracy comic strip, then drawn by its creator, Chester Gould.
Gould, hoping to keep the strip evolving and changing with the times, slowly began changing the focus of the strip from a crime drama into one whose primary focus was science fiction. Tracy had always been equipped with the latest, most up-to-date police equipment, including forensic science, but with the introduction into the strip of eccentric industrialist Diet Smith as Tracy's friend in the 1940s, Tracy began to have the assistance of devices such as the two-way wrist radio, and later the two-way wrist TV.
The logical extension of this in Gould's mind was the introduction of space travel. Smith invented the magnetic-powered Space Coupe. With the use of this vehicle, Tracy and company landed on the moon in 1964, finding there an advanced race of humanoids whose high technology meshed remarkably well with that of Smith's. The Moon race looked like Caucasian humans except for having abnormally large eyes and giraffe-like horns on their foreheads.
 Fictional character biography
Moon Maid was the daughter of the Moon's supreme ruler, a male humanoid who was always identified as "the Governor of the Moon". It is not clear whether he was democratically elected, or some form of hereditary ruler. She served as a liaison between her race and the humans. She and her family became one of the strip's primary focuses for several years.
Moon Maid eventually married Junior, the now-adult adopted son of Dick Tracy. Her father the Governor resented this marriage. Eventually, Moon Maid became pregnant by Junior. Her father was anxious that the child be born on the Moon, so as to be legally a Moon denizen. An extremely contrived plot twist put the pregnant Moon Maid, Junior, Dick Tracy and the Governor all aboard a Space Coupe when Moon Maid gave birth at precisely the midpoint in space between Earth and the Moon.
The child, a girl, was named Honey Tracy and had slightly over-large eyes, and two prominent tufts of hair on her forehead in the position corresponding to Moon Maid's horns; we are never told what lies beneath those tufts. The daughter also demonstrated a magnetic ability to attract small metal objects to her hands; this talent never played an important role in the strip.
During this period, Dick Tracy himself had many adventures on the Moon, notably solving a murder case involving a man named Purdy Fallar who kept two of his fingernails extra-long, claiming they were for harvesting the meat of giant Escargot: a race of gigantic Moon snails, prized on Earth as delicacies. In reality he used his sharpened fingernails as throat-slashing weapons.
When the impending 1969 NASA moon landing threatened to make the preceding Moon stories look silly, Gould chose to return to the material that made the Dick Tracy strip famous—Earth-bound crime. The strip made one oblique reference to the Apollo 11 landing shortly after its completion, with Diet Smith commenting about some "equipment left behind" on the Moon (in a caption above a panel showing the abandoned Lunar Module).
 Later years
After Apollo 11, Moon Maid and Honey continued to remain on Earth, as wife and daughter of Junior; all references to their selenic origin were phased out, with Honey never demonstrating her magnetic talents, and Moon Maid identified solely as "Junior's wife". Both characters continued to appear sporadically, in greatly reduced roles. Soon after Rick Fletcher and Max Collins took over the strip in 1978, Moon Maid was murdered accidentally by a man named Little Littel who was trying to kill Tracy with a car bomb while trying to collect on a million dollar open contract on Tracy's head by elderly crime lord "Big Boy" Caprice. Little would later be killed himself in an explosion when Junior Tracy goes to his shop looking for revenge on his wife's murder.
Although Honey Tracy survived—now apparently retconned to be totally human—it was understood that this moment represented the termination of the strip's Moon years.

Some Properties of Plain Carbon Steels Containing Uranium
Medium and low carbon steels, modified with uranium, were studied in order to evaluate the influence of uranium on forgeability, mechanical properties, response to heat treatment and microstructure. Uranium contents ranged up to 0.70 per cent. The medium carbon steels are hot short if the uranium content exceeds about 0.35 per cent. More uranium can be tolerated in low carbon steels. The hot shortness is caused by the formation of intergranular phase UFe1.

St. Ursula Academy invested in its fine and performing arts curriculum by adding a state-of-the-art piano lab, which can be used by students in grades 6-12 for a variety of music-related courses. The piano lab follows last year's addition of a Black Box Theater to also enhance the performing arts curriculum.
The lab is made up of 11 Yamaha Digital Pianos (10 for students, one for a teacher) controlled by an LC4 Lab Controller System. The LC4 system connects all pianos through headsets, which allows students to work individually, in pairs, or in groups. This setup is identical to that offered in university music departments and select high schools around the country. In addition to teaching music and techniques at the piano, the goal of the piano lab is to instill music fundamentals that students may apply to any area of music.
Features of the pianos include 88 weighted keys, with a touch similar to an acoustic piano, as well as the ability to change instrument sounds. For example, students can play 10 different parts of a musical composition, each with a different "instrument." Music faculty member Kristina Perna said, "Often, I'll have students play in ensembles and choose an 'intelligent' instrumentation. For example, we might structure the lesson such that lower sounds might be a cello or trombone, while higher sounds could be a flute or violin."
The Collegiate Block schedule at SUA—where students have four 80-minute classes each semester—allows time for students to learn a subject in more depth. The piano class taught in the lab is a perfect example of a curriculum that needs the extra time for students to learn and practice to master the material.

Hang on there, you cool person who is looking to read some extremely interesting scientific information on oats and plant-based nutrition. Before you take a look at the following pages and before you proceed to click 'YES,' we have a disclaimer that we would like you to read here.
Q: Why is dipotassium phosphate added to Oatly Oat Drinks, including the Barista Edition, Skinny, Semi and Whole? Can you confirm that it's safe?
A: Due to its buffering properties, dipotassium phosphate is frequently used as an 'acidity regulator'. It's used particularly to prevent acidic coffee (with its low pH) from lowering the pH of coffee drinks to a degree that would result in the 'feathering' (splitting or precipitation) of the plant-based milk.
It's an approved additive within the EU as well as numerous other countries (including the USA, where the FDA has granted it GRAS [Generally Recognised As Safe] status).

Returns a sequence of
xs:anyURI values representing the URIs in a URI
The zero-argument form of the function returns the URIs in the default URI collection described in.
If the value of
$arg is a relative
xs:anyURI, it is resolved
against the value of the base-URI property from the static context.
$arg is the empty sequence, the function behaves as if it had been
called without an argument. See above.
The single-argument form of the function returns the sequence of URIs corresponding to the supplied URI in the available URI collections described in.
By default, this function is deterministic. This means that repeated calls on the function with the same argument will return the same result. However, for performance reasons, implementations may provide a user option to evaluate the function without a guarantee of determinism. The manner in which any such option is provided is implementation-defined. If the user has not selected such an option, a call to this function must either return a deterministic result or must raise a dynamic error.
There is no requirement that the URIs returned by this function should all be distinct, and no assumptions can be made about the order of URIs in the sequence, unless the implementation defines otherwise.
A dynamic error is raised if no URI is supplied (that is, if the function is called with no arguments, or with a single argument that evaluates to an empty sequence), and the value of the default resource collection is absent.
A dynamic error is raised if a relative URI reference is supplied, and the base-URI property in the static context is absent.
A dynamic error is raised if available resource collections provides no mapping for the absolutized URI.
A dynamic error
may be raised if
$arg is not
In some implementations, there might be a close relationship between collections (as retrieved
fn:collection function), and URI collections (as retrieved by this function).
For example, a collection might return XML documents, and the corresponding URI collection might return
the URIs of those documents. However, this specification does not impose such a close relationship. For example, there
may be collection URIs accepted by one of the two functions and not by the other; a collection might contain
items that do not have any URI; or a URI collection might contain URIs that cannot be dereferenced to return any
Thus, some implementations might ensure that calling
fn:uri-collection and then
fn:doc to each of the returned URIs delivers the same result as
fn:collection with the same argument; however, this is not
In the case where
fn:uri-collection returns the URIs of resources that
could also be retrieved directly using
fn:collection, there are several reasons why it
might be appropriate to use this function in preference
fn:collection function. For example:
fn:unparsed-textfunction rather than the
fn:docfunction. In XSLT 3.0 it allows the documents in a collection to be processed in streaming mode using the
xsl:streaminstruction. It allows recovery from failures to read, parse, or validate individual documents, by calling the
fn:doc(or other dereferencing) function within the scope of try/catch. It allows selection of which documents to read based on their URI, for example they can be filtered to select those whose URIs end in
.xml, or those that use the
httpsscheme. An application might choose to limit the number of URIs processed in a single run, for example it might process only the first 50 URIs in the collection; or it might present the URIs to the user and allow the user to select which of them need to be further processed. It allows the URIs to be modified before they are dereferenced, for example by adding or removing query parameters, or by redirecting the request to a local cache or to a mirror site.
For some of these use cases, this assumes that the cost of calling
fn:collection might be significant (for example, it might involving
retrieving all the documents in the collection over the network and parsing them). This
will not necessarily be true of all implementations.

The type of im is an IQueryable because you are running a where query and there might be more than one result. If you want the first result matching your query you should use.FirstOrDefault(). Try changing you code as:
EntityNetimoveis.San_Imovel im = db.San_Imovel.FirstOrDefault(a => a.Credenciada_Id == 10);
If you want to return more than one entity and process them, lets say using a foreach loop, then you need to change the type of the return value to IEnumerable. See the following example:
IEnumerable ims = db.San_Imovel.Where(a => a.Credenciada_Id == 10);
The you can use the following:
foreach(var im in ims) {
 // your code goes here

But I need more than one result, can be millions of registers that has a.Credenciada_Id == 10. I need to save this in Entity.San_Imovel and then I need to do a ForEach. How can I perform this? – Lucas_Santos Aug 24 '12 at 13:57

If the lambda can return more than one record:
var imList = db.San_Imovel.Where(a => a.Credenciada_Id == 10).ToList();

I have to return all register in my database that has the column Credenciada_Id equals 10. Can be millions of registers, so I need to put in San_Imovel all these registers, and then I'll do a Foreach – Lucas_Santos Aug 24 '12 at 13:55

Exists, but I need to return more then one result. – Lucas_Santos Aug 24 '12 at 13:58
_USER_ The expression Massimiliano is using will return a List. Theoretically, you could leave off the.ToList part and you'd have a IQueryable, which implements IEnumerable. Both methods will give you more than one result if more than one result exist. – villecoder Aug 24 '12 at 14:00

This type of Javanese dagger [keris] is named after Majapahit, the last great Javanese Hindu kingdom that declined in the late 15th century with the arrival of Islam. The prototype for this type of weapon, with hilt and blade created from one piece of tempered metal, is said to have developed in the Majapahit period. The crouching figure that forms the hilt, however, can be traced to a much earlier era. The keris Majapahit is not used as a weapon, rather it is its talismanic properties that protect its owner.


GOOD NEWS: Deaf Dog Becomes Comic Book Superhero To Promote Acceptance
A lot of people passed by a dog at the New Jersey animal shelter for the very reason that music teacher Chris Hannah decided to rescue him - the pooch was deaf. But Hannah's 10-year-old nephew Kevin is deaf also, so he was happy to adopt the pet, who he named Cole.
Hannah's students were inspired by his new pup and helped their teacher create a superhero story called "Captain Cochlear and Maestro Mutt," based on Cole and Kevin. The comic book teaches the importance of learning to accept those who are a little different.
Now Cole is getting ready to be tested to become a certified therapy dog and Hannah plans to take his dog to visit hearing-impaired students to share their comic book. "Some things just happen for a reason," Hannah says of finding Cole.

The Role of Recognition
Recognition has been a fundamental part of Scouting from its beginning. Done well, it is a powerful tool that can help leaders set goals, define accomplishments, encourage skill development, celebrate commitment and achievement, and inspire others to strive for similar success.
Effective recognition is essential to effective unit service:
- It provides clear definition of success: the attitude, skills, training and behaviors needed to perform effectively
- It helps identify and recruit volunteers to serve as commissioners
- It helps retain commissioners
For commissioners, effective recognition supports recruiting and developing a team that helps unit leaders start, build, and grow strong, sustainable units that will ensure every member of the BSA has a great Scouting experience.
While there are many definitions of "commission," they share common threads: a "Commission" is an authorization to act; an act of entrusting or giving authority; an appointment or assignment to a task or function.
In Scouting, only professional staff members and commissioners are eligible to be commissioned. Just as the wreath of service is a unique design element of their badges of office, commissioning is a unique opportunity for individuals in those positions to publicly commit to providing service in Scouting and to celebrate their commitment.
Commissioners are recruited and commit to serve one year at a time; a commissioning ceremony is a great opportunity to publicly formalize and celebrate their commitment.
For commissioners who are renewing their commitment to serve, a review of achievements over the past year and plans for the year to come (Assess – Plan – Act) provide great preparation for a commissioning ceremony.
Commissioning ceremonies – and preparation for them – help recognize and celebrate success and retain commissioners.
Everything needed to conduct commissioning ceremonies is just a click away: _URL_
Commissioner recognition and this awards and recognition website have three objectives:
- Establish recognition opportunities for all commissioners.
- Establish consistent requirements that incorporate the contemporary tools and techniques commissioners use.
- Provide easy access to information, including opportunities, requirements, progress records, certificates, and available recognition items.
There are three categories of commissioner awards and recognition:
- Recognition of an individual's commitment to serve.
- Recognition of an individual's development.
- Recognition of an individual's impact.
There are also three classifications of commissioner awards and recognition:
- Recognition from an individual's selection to serve.
- Recognition from an individual's application for an award.
- Recognition from an individual's nomination for an award.
Requirements and Progress Records
Requirements and progress records (or nomination forms) have been consolidated into a single pdf form that can be downloaded and saved to a local device. The forms can be completed by simply positioning the cursor in the first (or next desired) field and entering the applicable information. Applicants can track their progress and when all requirements are completed the progress record can be emailed (or printed and delivered) for review, approval and processing. Those wishing to nominate an individual for an award can follow a similar process.
Recognition certificates are also available as pdf forms. They can be completed online (or downloaded to a local device) and printed. Paper stock selection determines the final product. Using standard printer paper provides a good result; using higher quality stock (e.g., "resume' paper") provides a higher quality certificate suitable for framing.

Foundation Baseline Assessment
What is the reception baseline assessment?
The reception baseline assessment is a new national assessment that will be administered in reception classes in all primary, infant and first schools in England. This will form the baseline for primary progress measures, allowing schools to receive credit for the progress their pupils make throughout their time in primary school. It is intended that this will be introduced in autumn 2020.
Why is it being introduced?
An information video for parents about the reception baseline assessment (RBA) can be found here. This will provide information to help yopu, as parents to understand a little more about what the assessment is, how it will be carried out and why it is being introduced.
A pilot for the assessment is being carriued out in September 2019. At Crawford Village Primary School, we have taken the decision to be part of this pilot as we feel this presents an opportunity to start to understand what the baseline will mean for our school in more detail.

 Servo System Controlling in CNC Bending Machine
 CNC Bending Machine is a machine to process metal plates and it mainly uses hydraulic system to blend panels into different shapes. Hydraulic system of traditional CNC bending machines generally adopts common three-phase asynchronous motor, thus it has big energy consumption, high temperature and low efficiency, and its parts are vulnerable. With energy saving and emission reduction is concerned by more and more people, new CNC bending machine which uses electric-hydraulic servo system to drive oil pump has emerged. Combination of servo drives and servo motors and adjustment of electro-hydraulic servo of CNC bending machine hydraulic system can reduce system energy consumption and temperature-rising of hydraulic oil and improve operational reliability of equipment at the same time.
 CNC bending machine
 Introduction of techniques
 A work cycle of CNC bending machines can be divided into several states like fast drop, slow drop, pressure maintaining, unload and kickback. When the equipment is working, the system will control oil pump to work, coordinating with work of hydraulic oil circuit control units, and then control the flow of hydraulic system, to reach the reasonable pressure value under different working states. The specific work procedures are as follows:
 1. When sliding blocks of machines drop fast, pressure oil will enter into upper compartment of oil cylinder through hydraulic valve and oil in lower compartment will return back to hydraulic pump through hydraulic valve. In this way, sliding blocks of machines will decline rapidly due to self-weight, and the open prefill valve will charge upper compartment of oil cylinder.
 2. When sliding blocks of machines operate in a slow speed, pressure oil will enter into upper compartment of oil cylinder through hydraulic valve to continue to push sliding blocks to drop.
 3. when sliding blocks of machines return back, pressure oil will enter into lower compartment of oil cylinder through hydraulic valve, rod of oil cylinder will pull sliding blocks to rise and oil in upper compartment of oil cylinder will flow back to oil tank through open prefill valve.
 Thus a work cycle has just finished.
 Application of servo system
 Hydraulic system of traditional bending machines adjusts flow of the system through dosing pump and proportional reversing valve. Since actual flow needed by the system changes while discharge of oil pump is constant, a part of flow will definitely overflow and generate energy loss. Moreover, setting pressure of valve controlling hydraulic system is always higher than actual pressure demanded, which will also cause energy loss. Meanwhile, throttle governing modes have overflow in main pressure valve, which will cause noise, a large calorific value of hydraulic oil, rising temperature, reduction of service life of hydraulic oil and increasing maintenance cost.
 In view of defects of hydraulic system of traditional bending machine and characteristics of forming techniques and processes of equipment, it adopts servo drive, servo motor, and gear pump to adjust control system of flow and pressure of hydraulic system. The details are as follows:
 According to position feedback of linear scale, CNC system will obtain values of flow and pressure needed by the system through algorithm characteristics, output 0～±10V analog control signals to servo drives, adjust speed of oil pump in real time and coordinate with work of hydraulic oil circuit control unit to meet demands of different process terminals on pressure and flow. The program adopts the principles of volumetric speed control and changes flow of oil pump and system pressure by adjusting speed of servo motor, thus avoiding energy consumption caused by traditional throttle governing schemes. Especially at the stage of pressure maintaining and unloading, output of oil is less and oil pump can almost stop operate, which will greatly reduce energy consumption. Meanwhile, response time of servo driven system is shorter and speed of fast drop and return when equipment is working is faster and has a higher efficiency.
 In conclusion, the program can effectively reduce system consumption, has less operation noise and a faster system response, and improves efficiency, and its operation is stable and reliable, its protection function is strong and its operation is simple and convenient. Thus it can not only meet requirements of forming techniques of bending machines and improve product quality and output, but also reduce maintenance costs of equipment, creating favorable economic benefits to users.

Wait, what?
Armored Glove Comes Equipped With Stun Gun, Video Camera
The BodyGuard, designed by cameraman David Brown, is an armored glove equipped with a high voltage stun gun, laser pointer for aiming, video camera and flashlight. Brown developed the concept for the BodyGuard — which is designed to prevent violent situations rather than end them — one night in 2004 when he and a few of his friends were discussing a recent mountain lion that attacked some cyclists, leaving one dead and the other maimed.
When using a knife, gun, or other handheld weapon, Brown felt the item could be easily dropped, thus leaving the wielder unable to protect his or herself. So, he came up with the glove concept because he felt it would be more difficult to lose the weapon, but also because using one's own hand was much more instinctual than using a foreign object.
The glove weighs less than three pounds, is made of breathable material and has a hard, protective shell that extends up the arm. The stun is generated by four electrodes on the wrist-area of the glove, prepped by a pull pin, and is activated by a button on the palm, with similar buttons activating the laser pointer, flashlight and video camera.
Brown developed the prototype for the BodyGuard in 48 hours, by using a medical arm brace as a base, attaching a stun gun and a fire-alarm button from Home Depot. It took Brown seven years and thirty prototypes to finish his final demo model. Though the BodyGuard seems like a neat futuristic piece of weaponry, one wonders exactly how effective it'll be when facing criminals with ranged weapons.

This interview is with Jeanne Feldkamp and Dan Diephouse of Corollary Wines. In this interview, the couple talks about their journey before getting into the wine industry, and how they ended up in Oregon. They speak about the logistics of starting their label and the meaning behind the name, how they've adjusted to COVID-19, and how what they find so exciting about sparkling wine here. They then touch on what sustainability means to them when looking for grapes, and how they would describe their winemaking philosophy. Towards the end of the interview, they answer what the purpose of wine is in society, what they hope consumers will take away from their wines, and what they have seen in the future for themselves and Oregon.

Inverts the transform.
Name Type Description
When you invert a transform, a rotation clockwise becomes an identical rotation anti-clockwise. A translation to the left becomes a translation to the right. A zoom in becomes a zoom out.
Note that not every transform can be inverted. If you specify a magnification of zero, you have shrunk your world space to a point. In this case, it is not possible to invert the transform to get the original back again. However, this kind of transform is uncommon in the real world and normally only occurs as a result of programming errors.
If you apply the invert method to a non-invertable transform, the transform will remain unmodified.
Here, we add some text rotated at 45 degrees anti-clockwise around the middle of the document. We then invert the transform and draw some more text. Because the transform has been inverted, the text now appears rotated 45 degrees clockwise.
Set theDoc = Server.CreateObject("ABCpdf11.Doc")

theDoc.Transform.Rotate 45, 302, 396
theDoc.AddText "45 Degrees"
theDoc.Pos = "302 396"

Commonly available airless spray equipment systems can be powered by a variety of means and are offered in a wide range of sizes and performance capabilities.
- Hand held cordless electric airless spray guns battery powered.
- Hand held electric airless spray guns mains powered.
- Hydraulic diaphragm mains electric or petrol powered airless spray pump equipment.
- Mains electric powered reciprocating piston airless spray pump equipment.
- Petrol engine powered reciprocating piston airless spray equipment with electric clutches.
- Hydraulic powered airless piston pumps using either electric motors or petrol powered motors to provide hydraulic power.
- Pneumatic compressed air driven reciprocating airless piston pump equipment.
Airless spray systems in any of the above categories atomise fluid or liquid including paints and coatings by forcing the fluid through a small nozzle or orifice at high pressure. As the liquid passes through the small nozzle or airless spray tip at high pressure the liquid is atomised into a fine spray. The effect is similar to restricting the flow of water from a standard garden hose by placing your finger over the end of the hose and restricting the flow of water until the water becomes a spray of water.
Never place fingers or any other body part near any outlet on an airless spray unit as the extremely high pressure can cause serious injury.

The 'ergonomic' bent-handle shovel is not new to the market, and is a far more popular choice than the traditional straight-handle shovel. However, despite its popularity, why doesn't the ergonomic shovel render the traditional straight-handle shovel obsolete?
The two shovels are designed to provide mechanical advantages in different situations. The bent-handle shovel is designed using the principles of biomechanical stress to the low back for pushing tasks. When push force is applied as the hands move vertically from the hips, either above or below hip level, the off-axis forces create increased strain to the low back. The user applies push forces through the midsection of the trunk to avoid unnecessary low back strain. However, this mechanical advantage is optimal only for pushing the snow, not lifting.
If you have ever used the bent-handle shovel, you may have noticed that the angle of the shaft positions the load such that it is difficult to raise the shovel blade end. When you attempt to lift the shovel, to clear the top of a snow bank for example, the front hand often must lift higher than is required with a traditional handle because of the angle of the shovel shaft. The front hand also bears more of the overall weight due to an inefficient lever created by the handle design. The traditional shovel handle is straight and allows for more optimal hand positioning for easier lifting.
So the next time you are out for a marathon of shoveling, go easy on your back and use the straight-handle shovel for lifting and the bent-handle shovel for pushing. Selecting the right tool for the task is important…even for snow shoveling.

This historical analysis examines the forces that shaped the collection and use of geographical data in Tanzania's Rufiji Basin. Hoping to develop irrigated agriculture, colonial engineers surveyed the basin's social and environmental landscapes and weighed the costs of damming. Following World War II, international experts interested in hydropower development conducted more geographical studies. While their studies offered limited information on stream flow, political and economic pressures led to their acceptance over those of colonial engineers. By illustrating how international institutions select what is accepted as knowledge and how such knowledge is used, the case highlights the politics of hydropower development in Africa. Based on archival work and fieldwork conducted in Tanzania and Sweden, this article argues that the shifting of the setting of knowledge construction from the basin to distant planning offices did not lead to projects based on better scientific knowledge, but set the stage for Tanzania's current electricity problems.

A drawing or solid model software package may have the capability to save airfoil coordinate data in an x, y, z coordinate system.
After selection of a file, AeroFoil will scale the data to a maximum x/c of 1.0 and rotate it into the x/y plane. The data must begin at the airfoil trailing edge, continue along the surface, and terminate at the trailing edge. It may have a maximum of 250 coordinate points. The file may not contain any non-numeric values.
After the data file has been read it will be shown graphically on the main display and the coordinate points will be shown in the tabular grid. The data is displayed in a grid table with limited editing capability. Use the mouse and/or arrow keys to navigate in the table. The selected coordinate pair will be denoted on the airfoil by a red circle. It is NOT possible to create a data file using this table.

NSEventWrite (Transact-SQL)
SQL Server 2005
Submits one event to the events table for the event class. You must use NSEventBeginBatchEventClassName to open a new batch and NSEventFlushBatchEventClassName to close the batch. You can submit multiple events before closing the batch.
[ schema_name. ] NSEventWriteEventClassName
 [ _USER_ = ] event_batch_ID,
 [ _USER_ = ] event_class_field_value [,...n]
[ _USER_ = ] event_ batch_ID
Is the ID of the event batch for the event. The event batch ID number must exist in the event batches table. event_batch_ID is bigint and has no default value.
[ _USER_ = ] event_class_field_value
Provides a name/value pair for an event class field. One event_class_field_name and event_class_field_value pair can be supplied for each column in the event table. If the column has a default value or accepts NULL, the name/value pair is not required.
0 (success) or 1 (failure)
Microsoft SQL Server Notification Services creates the NSEventWriteEventClassName stored procedure in the application database when you create the instance. When you update the application, Notification Services recompiles the stored procedure.
To use a query to obtain a set of events and then submit them to an application, use NSEventSubmitBatchEventClassName.
The following example shows how to begin an event batch, write one event, and then close the event batch. The event provider for the event batch is StockEP and the event batch ID number is returned in the _USER_ output parameter.
DECLARE _USER_ bigint;
EXEC dbo.NSEventBeginBatchStockEvents N'StockEP', _USER_ OUTPUT;
EXEC dbo.NSEventWriteStockEvents
EXEC dbo.NSEventFlushBatchStockEvents _USER_;
SELECT _USER_ 'Event Batch';
This example assumes that you are using SQL Server Management Studio, because the event batch ID is returned in the SELECT statement so you can see which event batch was created.

The Japanese phone system is a rather colorful one, quite literally.
The Japanese term for telephone is denwa and the public phones are akadenwa. There are four kinds of public phones. The oldest and most common is the red phone which is used for local calls. A blue phone is used for both local and long-distance calls. A yellow phone accepts 100 yen coins and is also used for both local and long-distance calls. Finally a pink phone, found in restaurants, coffee shops and similar places, are for local and long-distance both but have a call-back feature that the others lack.
Although the actual use of the phones is inexpensive getting a phone put into your house or apartment is not.

Setting up a Razor environment
Razor relies on a PXE environment to boot the Razor microkernel. You must set up your PXE environment before you can successfully provision with Razor.
There are two ways to enable PXE boot:
 - (Recommended) Integrate Razor with the DHCP solution of the system being provisioned.
 - Rely on UEFI to directly load the.ipxe file that's required to boot the Razor microkernel.
Because it's difficult to guarantee that all of your hardware is UEFI-enabled, configuring DHCP is the preferred method for setting up a Razor environment.
Set up a Razor environment
Set up a PXE environment using the DHCP and TFTP service of your choice.
Before you begin
You must have Puppet Enterprise installed.
This workflow describes a sample setup using dnsmasq. Dnsmasq is not intended for production environments; however, you can use a similar workflow to set up DHCP and TFTP with more robust solutions.
Install and configure dnsmasq DHCP-TFTP service
Install dnsmasq to manage communication between nodes and the Razor server. When a node boots, dnsmasq forwards the booted node to the Razor service.
 1. Use YUM to install dnsmasq: yum install dnsmasq
 2. If it doesn't already exist, create the directory /var/lib/tftpboot.
 3. Change the permissions for the TFTP boot directory: chmod 655 /var/lib/tftpboot.
Temporarily disable SELinux
You must temporarily disable SELinux in order to enable PXE boot. Alternatively, you could craft an enforcement rule for SELinux that enables PXE boot but doesn't completely disable SELinux.
 1. In the file /etc/sysconfig/selinux, set SELINUX=disabled.
 2. Restart the computer.
Edit dnsmasq.conf to enable DHCP
You must specify a DHCP range to enable communication with your DHCP server.
Tip: For more complex setups, it might be helpful to indicate a range name, for example: dhcp-range=range1,,,24h dhcp-range=range2,,,48h.
Edit /etc/dnsmasq.confto specify a DHCP range.
For example, for an IP range from - with a 24-hour lease, your file resembles:
# Uncomment this to enable the integrated DHCP server, you need
# to supply the range of addresses available for lease and optionally
# a lease time. If you have more than one network, you must
# service.
Edit the dnsmasq configuration file to enable PXE boot
Use dnsmasq to enable PXE booting on nodes.
 1. At the bottom of the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file, add: conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d
 2. Write and exit the file.
 3. Create the file /etc/dnsmasq.d/razor and add configuration information.
 For example, for dnsmasq 2.45:
 # iPXE sets option 175, mark it for network IPXEBOOT
 # TFTP setup
 4. Enable dnsmasq on boot: chkconfig dnsmasq on
 5. Start the dnsmasq service: service dnsmasq start

How reliable is the Polar Fitness Test
Validity of a test means that the test measures what it is supposed to measure and not something else. The Polar Fitness Test was originally developed on 305 healthy Finnish men and women in a study, where VO2max prediction was developed using artificial neural network analysis. The correlation coefficient between the laboratory measured VO2max and the neural network prediction value was 0.97 and the mean error in the VO2max prediction was 6.5 % which is good compared to any other predictive tests of VO2max.
In further development of the test, 119 fitness measurements of healthy American men and women were included in the final development of the neural network, making a total of 424 subjects. Based on these results the artificial neural network was modified into Polar Fitness Test. The test was validated in a study on 52 healthy men, who didn't belong to the group on whom the test was developed. The mean deviation in the Polar Fitness Test prediction was less than 12 %. The validity of the Polar Fitness Test is considered to be good.
The reliability of a test is a measure of how consistent and reproducible the test results are on consecutive trials. The reliability of the Polar Fitness Test is good. When 11 subjects repeated the test in the morning, in the middle of the day and in the evening during eight days, in both sitting and laying positions, the average individual standard deviation of consecutive test results was less than 8 % from the individual mean value. The standard deviations calculated separately for each time of the day were all smaller than the standard deviation of all results. This indicates that the test can be conducted at any time of the day but it should always be repeated at about the same time.

The orientation of Dining Hall is considered with the situation that sun rays should fall on that area, because sun rays will kill all the harmful bacteria present in the stored food.
Here are some basic points one must keep in mind while designing Dining Hall.
- The most preferred direction for Dining Hall is the West corner of the house. However, if it not possible to set the Dining Hall in West then one can consider the South direction also.
- Dining hall should be set in adjacent to the Kitchen but never to the Toilet.
- The main door of the house and of the Dining Room should not face each other.
- The door of Puja Room or Toilet should not open in front of Dining Hall.
- The wash basin should be in East or Northwest side of the room.
- The shape of the dining table should be perfect square or rectangle.
- Dining table should not stick to the wall. But if it is unavoidable due to space constraints, then face it towards West of South. In no condition the dining table should stick to the Northeast corner.
- If you want to place a refrigerator in the dining room, it should be in southeast direction.
- While eating the members should face the East or North but never South.

In your subject, you call these things "purpose-clause compound nouns."
Strictly speaking, none of these are compound nouns, which in TKD are
individual words consisting of multiple nouns. All of your examples may
be described as noun phrases, but you can't get more specific when
describing all of them. They break down into purpose clauses and
genitive phrases.

I think it's arbitrary, and you just have to learn which way it's said.
I also think you wouldn't be particularly wrong if you said *chevmeH
tlhoy'* instead of *chevwI' tlhoy',* for example. It would be like the
difference between /border wall/ and /wall of the border:/ one is said
and the other isn't, but the other is still perfectly understandable.

Genitive is a broad concept, and Klingon noun-nouns seem to embrace that
breadth. You seem to be sensing sub-types of genitive. Here's a page

them all the same.

Sequestering Agent
Published: | Updated: November 30, 2020
Definition - What does Sequestering Agent mean?
In chemistry, a sequestering agent is an organic compound capable of linking metal ions or molecules together to form complex ring-like structures known as chelates. A sequestering agent is also known as a chelating agent.
Sequestering agents are used to link undesirable metal ions together to form a stable structure that does not readily decompose. This limits the metal ions' ability to react with other ions, clays or polymers.
Sequestering agents are commonly used for water treatment purposes to reduce water hardness. They combine with calcium, magnesium and other heavy metal ions in hard water to form molecules in which the ions are held so securely (sequestered) that they can no longer react. Chelation is used to treat metal poisoning and for the industrial extraction of metals.
Corrosionpedia explains Sequestering Agent
A sequestering agent surrounds another molecule or atom and holds it "in seclusion." In this process, the sequestering agent hides the molecule or atom and prevents it from entering into chemical reactions.
Chelation enables plants to take up metal ions such as iron that may not be readily available in its raw state.
Chelation agents are commonly used to bind metal ions into a ring structure. They serve as a stabilizing agent and prevent the precipitation of damaging compounds. As acids react and the pH increases, reaction products may be produced in the form of a gelatinous and insoluble mass. Chelating agents prevent precipitation, thus keeping ions in a soluble form until the treatment fluid can be put back into the formation during cleanup.
Sequestering is not the same as precipitation, because sequestering does not form a solid.
The main types of commercial sequestering agents include:
 - Aminocarboxylic acid base products
 - Phosphates and phosphonates
 - Hydroxy carboxylates
 - Polyacrylates
 - Sugar acrylates
Using Sequestering Agents for Cleaning and Water Treatment
Unfortunately, calcium and other hard water ions readily combine with surfactants in detergents, thus reducing their cleaning effectiveness. By inactivating the ions with a sequestering agent, detergents are better able to clean clothes.
Metal sequestering agents can be either liquid or granular, and are used to treat water discoloration, stains and scale.
Polyphosphate is used to sequester soluble iron atoms that remain in settled water before it is chlorinated or that leach off of iron pipes in water distribution systems. By surrounding and sequestering these soluble iron atoms, the typical reddish colors associated with iron oxides and iron hydroxides are prevented. Scale can be controlled through the use of sequestering agents and chelates.

[Powershell Script - Convert IIS logs to CSV]parsing IIS logs using PowerShell
There are multiple ways to do reporting on the IIS logs, there are various tools available for the same as well, but I thought to play around with string manipulation in PowerShell so got an idea to do a script on parsing and Converting IIS logs to Table format in PowerShell sessions or export to CSV.
The main motive of this post is to give an idea on how can we filter specific logs easily and generate a report out of IIS Logs in CSV format.
So let's start
Let's first get the content of the logs file in a Powershell array, which we want to search through to generate the report, we can loop through each log file if there are more than one log file.
Single File Example:
$logFilepath="D:\Logs\IISLogs.txt" $logdata=(gc $logfilepath)
To search through the multiple files.
foreach ($file in (Get-ChildItem $logFilePath))
Now Once we have the Logs consolidated, we can further search through $logdata for logs we are interested in.
Let's say I want to find out how many connection requests has been made by the user "Labadmin" for EWS service?
So to prepare the data into the tabular format, lets first get the table header.
As the 4th line of the logs has all the details, we are going to select that line only using the index no [3], for those who wondering why [3], the index in PowerShell start from [0,1,2,3] etc.
$CsvHeader=$logdata[3]."_TAG_: ","")
Now we can do a search through the logs.
$EWSLogs=$logdata |? {$_ -match "Labadmin" -and $_ -match "EWS"}
This will get us the log entries, where both strings match "Labdmin" and "EWS", we can add more -match to shorten the results,
Now we have the logs we wanted, as the logs file is delimited with space in between what we just need to do is to replace the space with the comma ",".
So let's see how we can do it.
lets first combined our header and EWS logs data to one array.
$FinalData=@() $FinalData+=$CsvHeader $FinalData+=$EWSLogs
Now we will use replace method to replace space with ",".
foreach ($line in $FinalData)
$newline=$line.replace(" ",",")
Now Let's convert it to a table form, once we have data in the table form we can work at the object level, or you can just export to CSV.
$Table = Convertfrom-Csv $Report -UseCulture
Now you will have data in Table and can do further analyses if you wish.
Let's further find out how many times this user made EWS connection successfully.
$table | Group-Object -Property sc-status
So this is how we can use PowerShell to do reporting on IIS logs, Please feel free to leave your comments, feedback, and suggestions.
Below is full consolidated script Code used in this post.
$logFilepath = "C:\Users\sunil\Desktop\caslogs.txt"
$logdata = Get-Content $logfilepath
$CsvHeader=$logdata[3].Replace("_TAG_: ","")
foreach ($line in $FinalData){
$Report+=$newline }
$table = Convertfrom-Csv $Report -UseCulture
$table | Group-Object -Property sc-status

Economics Research Institute Study Paper
Utah State University Department of Economics
Careful studies of the distribution of income in nineteenth-century United States have been hampered by a paucity of available data. This study undertakes the analysis of factors influencing the distribution of personal income in communities in the Great Basin region of the western United States for the years 1860-61 and 1870. The study utilizes estimates of full income by individual based on information contained in the General Economic Records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, demographic and economic data from the manuscript censuses of 1860 and 1870, and other relevant data from contemporary sources. Mean income and Gini ratios are calculated for nearly all Great Basin communities, and econometric analysis is undertaken to identify the impact on income distribution of changes in mean income, community size, crop destruction by grasshoppers, and the percentage of the population born in non-English speaking countries. The econometric results are compared to the results of an earlier study that looked at factors influencing income inequality for the Great Basin as a whole over the period _PHONE_. Of particular interest is the impact of ethnic mix on relative income inequality. While the earlier study found that Gini ratios for the Great Basin region rose as the fraction of the population born in non-English speaking countries increased, the current study finds that Gini ratios first rose, then fell as the percentage of the community born in non-English speaking countries rose. At the territorial level, grasshopper infestation increased relative inequality, but at the community level it decreased inequality. The completion of the transcontinental railroad allowed a few individuals in urban communities to earn large incomes in capital-intensive activities, increasing community income inequality, ceteris paribus, but community access to the railroad had a leveling effect on labor income and product prices, reducing community income inequality.

UV and IR Photography in Forensic
The use of photography is documenting a crime scene or recording an autopsy procedure is increasingly becoming an integral part of forensic investigation processes. Besides witness statements, the physical evidence collected from crime scenes and reposts made by crimes scene investigation, infrared and ultraviolet photography techniques are used to provide a detailed and accurate account that is unalterable. In many criminal cases, photographic evidence is critical for both defense and prosecution counsel. Additionally, photographic evidence is often used to display or reconstruct the nature of crime scenes to crime scene investigators who could not make it to the actual scene. This paper explores the application of infrared (IR) and Ultraviolet (UV) photography in forensics.

The documentation of physical evidence through forensic photography is one of the integral aspects of crime scene investigations. Ensuing analysis of photographs taken from crime crimes, gunshot wounds, bite marks, trace evidence and autopsy procedures among others often produces clues investigators can use effectively to reconstruct some of the events of an incident under investigations, or yield enough evidence to gain a conviction at trial. Conventional photography documents images in the visible light spectrum, and often records images on digital file or film visible to the human eye. In that regard, traditional photography limits the use of photography in documenting the evidence essential to reconstruct facts of a given case. For several years, forensic photographers have come up with various specialized techniques for documenting critical evidence, especially under challenging situations. Infrared (IR) and Ultraviolet (UV) photography can be applied in various scenarios to produce results that are often limited by traditional photographing techniques in the visible light spectrum. The interest behind the exploration of the application of UV and IR photography in forensics pertains to their capability to document injuries due to biochemical and biological changes that arise after injuries. The subsequent subsections explores the application of UV and IR photography in forensics

UV Photography Application
Photographic accuracy in cases involving bite marks is vital to an investigative process because the bite mark may be the only evidence linking a suspect to the crimes under investigation. For this reason, the push to use superior photographic technique is unavoidable in the investigative process. Ultraviolet radiation has been used to improve the visibility of old wounds, bruising and bite marks has been documented in various studies. Documenting bite marks and bruises through UV photography requires specialized UV components. However, acquiring the necessary ultraviolet forensic photography equipment can be taxing. This implies that the digital camera used for this purpose must either be designed or modified with ultraviolet acquisition in mind. Another important point to highlight regarding UV photography is that better results are influenced by the power of the light source. In other words, there is a need for a more powerful light source for illumination during ultraviolet imaging. In contrast to alternate light imaging (ALI) and IR, ultraviolet images depict the surface disruption of the human skin when the UV imaging technique is used to document bite marks.
Adequate examination of injuries of victims of violence, both deceased and living, is vital for the reconstruction of suspected criminal incident. The use of medical reports by the prosecution counsel on injuries are evidence demands a detailed description and accurate interpretation of the reported injuries. The prosecution counsel faces difficulties, especially when there is lack of visibility of the reported injuries. Difficulties may be due to, for instance, a bruise in a yellow appearance or due to healing of the injury. Additionally, even the most recently caused bruise might also be invisible at the surface of the skin. As an area of interest, improving the visibility of injuries that are often not visible to the naked eye is vital in gaining a detailed and accurate documentation of injuries reported by a victim of violence. To recap, prints or documented images of UV photography appear as regular black and while photos. However, after the development of reflected UV photography film, they can be made into enlargements or slides. The use of UV photography in forensics can greatly improve an investigation by illustrating an outline of a weapon that caused an injury and show history of injuries.
IR Photography Application
The use of infrared-aided photography has been documented, especially in the detection of gunshot residues in fabrics. Accurate photographic recording of a crime scene is an important pillar of any effort into the collections of evidence, especially when it applies to documenting gunshots injuries or fatalities inflicted during crimes of violence. For IR photography, a source of the infrared radiation is mandatory. Many alternative light source systems are equipped with IR components. However, most of the contemporary flash units emit visible, IR and UV light. This makes it possible to apply IR techniques in bother laboratory and field environments. Additionally, advances in photographing technologies has resulted in digital imaging options for forensic photographers in both environments. Infrared photography techniques can be used to examine document forgeries and alternations. Differentiating between visibility identical pigments and inks is characterized by observing any slight difference in the way they absorb or transmit IR radiation. Infrared luminescence and reflected photography is also used to reveal printing and writing under obliterations on important physical documents. Furthermore, illegible worn, aged or charred documents can be rendered legible in IR photographs.
The physical properties of fabrics and the dyes used in the same cloth affects the manner in which IR radiation is absorbed or reflected. Reflected IR can be useful in forensic investigations where there is a need to differentiate between clothing fabrics that are visibly similar in visible light, yet they are actually different. One of the intriguing application of reflected IR photography pertains to the reduction of background on fabric that are either dark or with busy pattern to display the presence of stains. In that regard, substances such as gunshot residues or blood patterns can be revealed in scenarios where conventional photographic techniques are limited. Gunshot residue is also revealed using IR reflected photography. In addition, a fabric with visibly dark or busy pattern is often rendered as a less distracting pattern or a single pattern; hence, revealing any important detail hidden from the unaided eye. Another intriguing application of IR photography relates to the documentation of injuries and biomedical uses. IR energy can penetrate the human skin 3 millimeters deep. In addition, IR energy is absorbed by blood. According to Broux, McCaul and Shimamoto, these aspects are exploited to show details 3 millimeters below the human skin. Reflected IR and reflected UV photographs can be used to show the details below a victims skin surface and details on the surface of the skin respectively. To that end, bite marks can be documented using reflected IR photography. To conclude, forensic applications of reflected infrared photography include biomedical photography, gunshot residue visualization and bloodstain documentation.
Routine application of infrared and ultraviolet photographing techniques in the not only forensic, but also biomedical fields is not new. Forensic photography is essential in documenting crime scenes, autopsy procedures, bite marks, gunshot wounds, weapons and trace evidence. In line with their efficiency in yielding clues for investigators to use in the reconstruction of facts regarding a particular case, UV and IR photography plays a significant role in helping courts establish the whys and how behind cases. Biting and gunshot injuries might be complex; thus, the collection, analysis and interpretation of evidence must the handled with care irrespective of the forensic photographing technique used. Acquiring reproducible and accurate forensic images is that one of the components of an effective crime scene investigation, but an important one. Therefore, a forensic photographer should be able to employ the most effective protocol to yield the best results.

text: [en] T2 control charts are used to monitor a process when more than one quality variable associated with the process is being observed. Recent studies have shown that using variable sampling size (VSS) schemes results in charts with more statistical power for detecting small to moderate shifts in the process mean vector. This paper presents an economic-statistical design of T2 control charts with variable sample size and control limits (VSSC). We build a cost model of a VSSC T2 control chart for the purpose of economic-statistical design using the model of Costa and Rahim (J. Appl. Stat. 28:875–885, 2001). This cost model constructed involves the cost of false alarms, the cost of finding and eliminating an assignable cause, the cost associated with production in an out-of-control state, and the cost of sampling and testing. We optimize this model using a genetic algorithm approach. Furthermore, VSSC and VSS T2 charts are compared with respect to the expected cost per unit time.


Take the 2-minute tour ×
Just a quick question I have the following system: $$\frac{dx}{dt}=x\left(2-x-\frac{y}{1+x}\right),\qquad \frac{dy}{dt}=3y\left(\frac{x}{1+x}-4y\right)$$ It asks which variable represents the predator and which the prey, write down the long term size of the prey in the absence of predators.
I approached this by considering that $\frac{dy}{dx}= \frac{y(3x-12y-12yx)}{x(2+x-x^{2}-y)}$, hence when y=o we have that $\frac{dy}{dx}$=0 and therefore we have that our predator is represented by $\frac{dx}{dt}$ and prey by $\frac{dy}{dt}$. Additionally in the absence of prey our prey will tend to $\infty$.
Many thanks in advance.

If $x(0)=0$ and $y(0)\gt0$, then $x(t)=0$ for every $t$ and $y(t)\to0$ when $t\to\infty$. If $x(0)\gt0$ and $y(0)=0$, then $y(t)=0$ for every $t$ and $x(t)\to2$ when $t\to\infty$. Hence $x(t)$ describes the amount of preys (which can survive without predators) and $y(t)$ describes the amount of predators (which die out without preys).
To show that $x(t)\to2$ when $t\to\infty$ when $y(0)=0$, one can use a phase diagram: since $x'(t)=x(t)(2-x(t))$, the function $t\mapsto x(t)$ decreases at times $t$ such that $x(t)\gt2$ and increases at times $t$ such that $0\lt x(t)\lt2$.

Note that the amount of preys does not grow to infinity in the absence of predators, rather it converges to 2. – Did Oct 20 '12 at 13:54
