I hope the title of this question isn't too confusing.
What I want to do is send myself an e-mail when a specified command has finished running in the shell. For this purpose, I wrote a simple script that takes an argument and sends me an e-mail with the argument as the messages text. The idea is to be able to execute a command that I know will take a long time in the following manner:
./commandThatTakesALongTime;./emailingScript
The obvious answer here is to just write the name of the command again, and pass it in as a string but often I'll have commands with lots of arguments, and so I'd prefer it to automatically grab what was executed.
I've tried using various combinations of!!:p, but that doesn't appear to be working. Any tips?
ETA: I'm looking for something that I can pass as which will basically just print "./commandThatTakesALongTime"--does such a thing exist? The reason I'm doing it this way is because I need my environment to be preserved as it is after the command is executed.

1 Answer 1
Write a script like this:
if "$@" ; then
 echo "$@" | mail -s 'command complete' _EMAIL_
 echo "Command failed!"
Save this as exec_and_mail and make it executable.
You run it as exec_and_mail some_command -with arguments --passed --to it.

Question, which should've been stated in the original problem definition--will this preserve my environment? Some of the programs that I have that are longer-running are changing environment variables and those need to be preserved. Thanks. – smintitule May 19 at 19:16
You cannot pass environment variables from a child process to the parent. The child inherits the parent environment and can modify it, but it's not going to affect the parent environment in any way. There are workaround to this and they amount to passing a script to the parent which sets the environment variables. – Sigi May 19 at 19:17
In other words: nothing that a command does to its environment will affect the environment of the process (or shell) that executed the command. So your environment will not be modified. – Sigi May 19 at 19:20
Which I think brings me back to where I started--sequentially executing two commands and just breaking them up with the semicolon. The issue is just what do I send to my script as an argument? – smintitule May 19 at 19:21
There's no way for a script to get information from the rest of the command line. That's why this script takes the command line as an argument, and it executes the command for you. It will inherit your environment variables. – Barmar May 19 at 19:34

hot money business definition
Funds that are controlled by investors who seek high short-term yields when the funds are likely to be reinvested somewhere else at any time. Some financial institutions attract hot money by offering above-average yields on certificates of deposit. However, if the rate is lowered, the funds are likely to be lost to another institution or investment.Case Study
Although an improbable target for currency speculators, tiny Iceland (population approximately 300,000) gained fame as a world depository for hot money shortly after the country lifted currency exchange controls in the late 1990s. Funds seeking the krona's high interest rates flooded into the island country from around the world, much of it representing borrowed money obtained in low-interest Japan. The inflows helped produce a booming economy with a strong currency, soaring stock market, and skyrocketing housing prices. The economic boom was accompanied by inflation, causing the central bank to raise interest rates to 11.5% by mid-2006. The increase in interest rates also resulted from the government's concern that hot money would begin flowing back out of Iceland as interest rates started rising in Europe, Japan, and the United States. A rapid outflow of hot money would depress the country's currency, increase the cost of imported goods, and cause a downward spiral in asset values.

Why does LPG suffer price variation? – Panorama Offshore
Why does LPG suffer price variation?
A major concern for the pocket of Brazilians today is the price of cooking gas. In 2019 alone, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) had five price variations, including four increases and one adjustment.
According to a survey carried out by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), also released in the last year, the variation in the price of canisters has affected the way food is prepared. The analysis shows that more than 3 million Brazilians have chosen to use firewood or charcoal to cook, instead of cooking gas.
One of the reasons for the increase in the cylinder, according to experts, is the change in Petrobras' pricing policy, which leaves the oil market freer. Thus, products derived from petroleum, such as gasoline, diesel and gas depend on the international market price balance. Thus, the Brazilian currency depreciates in comparison to the international quotation, which directly affects the value of the gas cylinder.

Boss (video gaming)
In video gaming, a boss is an enemy-based challenge (and a computer-controlled opponent in such a challenge). A fight with a boss character is commonly referred to as a boss battle or boss fight. Boss battles are generally seen at the climax of a particular section of the game, usually at the end of a stage or level, or guarding a specific objective, and the boss enemy is generally far stronger than the opponents the player has faced up to that point.

A hatch pattern consists of a repeating pattern of lines, dashes, and dots. You can select a hatch pattern from a set of predefined patterns, or you can define a pattern of your own. The hatch pattern you used most recently is the default pattern the next time you choose Hatch.
The program supplies predefined standard hatch patterns, which are stored in the icad.pat and icadiso.pat hatch pattern library files. You can use other external hatch pattern libraries, such as an office standard library, customized patterns, and libraries available from vendors or standards organizations.
NOTE The icad.pat hatch pattern library files are ANSI (American National Standards Institute)-compliant patterns; the icadiso.pat hatch pattern library files are ISO (International Standards Organization)-compliant.
You can add hatching to an area enclosed by entities selected to form the hatch boundary. The entire hatch is treated as a single entity. After you draw a hatch, it is independent of the entity itself.
You can also use an existing entity to define the area you want to hatch. You can associate the hatch with its boundary entities by selecting Associative from the Hatch Attributes area of the Hatch dialog box
1. From the Boundary Hatch dialog box, click the Boundary tab.
2. Choose one of the following Island Detection Options:
- Nested Islands The outer entity and all its islands are considered for hatching.
- Outer Only Only the outer entity and its outer island are considered for hatching.
- Ignore Islands Only the outer entity is considered for hatching.
Nested Islands Outer Only Ignore Islands

What is a Mountain Leader?
The mountain leader is a graduate professional who leads a group (or alone) in the mountains. Unlike the mountain guide, the mountain leader evolves outside the techniques and tools specific to mountaineering. His field of intervention is the discovery of the mountain with different supports of progression. The mountain guide is a naturalist generalist and is primarily discovering the natural mountain environments, heritage and human.
Mountain leaders are organizers and hikers.
The professional activity covers three specific, identifiable but complementary functions: the guiding and management functions of the security of the practitioners; an educative and pedagogic action is also important and underlying in all of their activities (improvement of the physical and technical capacities of the practitioners); mediation for the discovery of the mountain environment in all its aspects (natural, heritage, human). Mediation and interpretation have for object the discovery, the understanding and the appropriation of the mountain environment.
To exercise this mediation action, the mountain guides have the choice between several supports: hiking, snowshoeing and, for some professionals, pack animals, mountain biking (additional qualification) or canyoning (AQA unique to this day issued in 1995).
Why touring in the Alps with a Mountain leader?
It's amazing! With a good knowing of his territory, he will be able to make you enjoy your time in an alp area in security. If you want to learn more about a specific topic, you will find a specialist for your tour.

Yogurt or kefir for parrots, hormonal Eclectus, alternative supplements
I've heard Parrots in general can have yogurt or greek yogurt. Can they have kefir? I make BOTH my own and do know you HAVE to make them different, but can they have kefir since kefir doesn't really have lactose.
Are female eclectus more or less hormonal caged with a male?
Do you feel it is good to give macaws or eclectus hemp?
Hi Mary,
In general, parrots should not have any dairy products. However, a small bite isn't going to harm a parrot. Kefir is not likely to be any better for a parrot than any type of yogurt. The way most kefir is made, makes it very high in sugar and parrots should not have high sugar content foods. But again, one bite is OK.
Any bird is going to be more hormonal if it is around or caged with another bird, even if they are the same gender. But yes, a female is going to be more hormonal around a male. She is also more likely to end up laying eggs. As to hormonal behavior, this is also a yes, and when birds are caged together, even if they are the same sex, they tend to become less tame.
Sterilized hemp seed used to be included in most seed mixes for pet birds, and it still is in some cases. As to any health benefit, there have not been any specific studies. They are beginning to study the CBD oil and any potential benefits or harm.

Balanced circulants
Given interer $k \geq 1$ and $m \geq 1$, let us introduce a graph $G(k,m) = (V,E)$ with circular symmetry as follows: $V = {\bf Z}_n = \{0,1,...,n-1\}$, where $n = 4km$, and $(i,j) \in E$ iff
\begin{displaymath}i-j + 4mt = +1 \;\; or \, -1 \;\; (mod \; n)\end{displaymath}
for some integer $t$. E.g. if $k=5, m=2$ then $n = 40$ and $(i,j) \in E$ iff $i - j (mod \; 40) \in \{7,9; 15,17; 23,25; 31,33; 39,1\}.$
It is not difficult to check that $G(k,m)$ is balanced, i.e. it has no odd cycles, nor $(4i+2)$-holes. In fact, it may only contain holes of length 4 and $4m$. Moreover, every $(4i+2)$-cycle has at least two chords. Hence, $G(k,m) - e$ is still balanced for any edge $e$, in agreement with Conjecture 2 from the section "Balanced Graphs". Conjecture 1 of the same section also holds for $G(k,m)$. Indeed, if $k > 1$ then $S = \{0; 4mi+1, 4mi-1 \; \vert \; i = 1, \ldots,k\}$ is a star cutset: 0 is an isolated vertex in $\bar{G}[S]$, while $4mj$ is an isolated vertex in $G[V \setminus S]$ for every $j = 1, \ldots, k;$ and if $k=1$ then $G(k,m)$ is $4m$-cycle, that is a basic graph
CONJECTURE. Every non-empty balanced circulant is isomorphic to a $G(k,m)$.

This study seeks to better understand the factors contributing to the adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) as on-demand sourcing option. Grounded in transaction cost theory (TCT), we developed a research model for assessing SaaS-sourcing at the application level. Four hypotheses with three TCTbased constructs (application specificity, environmental uncertainty, and usage frequency) and one contingency factor (firm size) affecting the adoption of SaaS-based sourcing were formulated. Survey data of 154 firms in Europe with 284 response items across different industries were collected to test the theoretical model. PLS-based structural equation modeling demonstrated that uncertainty emerges as the strongest factor for SaaS-adoption, while application specificity also contributes significantly. Differentiating between small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and enterprises, uncertainty represents the strongest driver for SaaS-adoption in SMBs, whereas application specificity is more important in enterprises. Finally, firm size is significantly and negatively associated with SaaS-based sourcing within, but not across the subgroups of SMBs and enterprises.

When I do the following.. anything done to Person b modifies Person a (I thought doing this would clone Person b from Person a). I also have NO idea if changing Person a will change Person b after the linking. Due to my code right now, I can only see this in 1 direction.
Person a = new Person() { head = "big", feet = "small" };
Person b = a;
b.head = "small"; //now a.head = "small" too
Now if I do this instead.. Person a becomes completely separate.
Person b = new Person() { head = a.head, feet = a.feet };
Now this fine and kinda makes sense when comparing this behaviour to other things in C#. BUT, this could get very annoying with large objects.
Is there a way to shortcut this at all?

Person b = a.Values;

Sorry about the terminology, I don't know how to properly define everything yet. I'm basically storing a bunch of settings in a object. Then another object takes those settings and builds itself from them. Unfortunately (for me right now), building the second object changes the first object because of this behavior. Maybe I shouldn't be storing my settings in an object, but I don't know how else to do it because of how complex it is. – PiZzL3 Mar 19 '11 at 1:30

Is there a way to shortcut this at all?
No, not really. You'll need to make a new instance in order to avoid the original from affecting the "copy". There are a couple of options for this:
 1. If your type is a struct, not a class, it will be copied by value (instead of just copying the reference to the instance). This will give it the semantics you're describing, but has many other side effects that tend to be less than desirable, and is not recommended for any mutable type (which this obviously is, or this wouldn't be an issue!)
 2. Implement a "cloning" mechanism on your types. This can be ICloneable or even just a constructor that takes an instance and copies values from it.
 3. Use reflection, MemberwiseClone, or similar to copy all values across, so you don't have to write the code to do this. This has potential problems, especially if you have fields containing non-simple types.

Thanks, that sums it up nicely. I think I'll have to figure out a different way to store my data or make a special constructor. – PiZzL3 Mar 19 '11 at 2:11

What you are looking is for a Cloning. You will need to Implement IClonable and then do the Cloning.
class Person() : ICloneable
 public string head;
 public string feet;
 _TAG_ ICloneable Members
 public object Clone()
 return this.MemberwiseClone();
Then You can simply call the Clone method to do a ShallowCopy (In this particular Case also a DeepCopy)
Person b = (Person) a.Clone();
You can use the MemberwiseClone method of the Object class to do the cloning.

_USER_ Levy: I know the difference arise between Shallow Copy and Deep Copy, when you have Reference type of members in the class. – Shekhar_Pro Mar 19 '11 at 1:32

a and b are just two references to the same Person object. They both essentially hold the address of the Person.
There is a ICloneable interface, though relatively few classes support it. With this, you would write:
Person b = a.Clone();
Then, b would be an entirely separate Person.
You could also implement a copy constructor:
public Person(Person src)
 //...
There is no built-in way to copy all the fields. You can do it through reflection, but there would be a performance penalty.
share|improve this answer
_USER_, 1. The difference between deep copy and shallow copy is irrelevant here, because the class only has two fields, both with immutable types. 2. I didn't recommend ICloneable. I listed it as an option. 3. That is not an official guideline, just a discussion of a plan to add it to the official guidelines (I don't know if it made it). – Matthew Flaschen Mar 19 '11 at 1:37

This happens because "Person" is a class, so it is passed by reference. In the statement "b = a" you are just copying a reference to the one and only "Person" instance that you created with the keyword new.
The easiest way to have the behavior that you are looking for is to use a "value type".
Just change the Person declaration from
class Person
struct Person

Open from
The Historic Village at Allaire was once an iron-producing, factory-town known as the Howell Iron Works, Co. The Village was a self-sufficient community containing a carpentry and pattern making shop, a blacksmith shop, a bakery, a boarding house, a blast furnace, mills to finish iron products, a school, a church, a general store with a post office, and workers' home. Iron produced at the village was shipped to New York City by wagon and steamship. It was used to produce steam engines parts in a factory also owned by our proprietor, James P. Allaire. The Howell Iron Works was a typical community at the time and speaks to the experiences of the economic and social changes of those who experienced early Industrial America.
The 23-acre museum is located within Allaire State Park. The property was donated to the State of New Jersey for use as an educational and recreational center by the estate of Arthur Brisbane.

Hedgerow planting in Denmark
Despite the great extension of agricultural land and farming tradition in Denmark, few formal agroforestry systems can be easily found. However, Denmark has a long tradition in hedgerow planting which has shaped and delineated Danish landscapes.
Hedgerow planting to protect crops from wind erosion has a long tradition in Denmark. Hedgerow structure, composition and purpose have evolved from the XIX century, when many of today's hedgerows were established to state ownership boundaries and to increase agricultural productivity. Nowadays, hedgerows are key multifunctional landscape elements that enhance biodiversity and increase landscape diversity. Although the plantation of hedgerows is decreasing, still more than 500 km of hedgerows are planted every year.
In the mid of the XIX century, there was a strong need of agricultural land to provide food to the increasing population of Denmark and to compensate the loss of territory to Germany after the 1864 war. Western Jutland, which was dominated by heath, was reclaimed to agricultural land (1, 2). However, strong wind erosion and dominating sandy soils demanded shelterbelts for this new agricultural land. In 1866 the Land Development Service (DLDS) was established with the purpose to protect these farmlands (2, 3).
The DLDS is a private organization which was funded by subscriptions of members, donations and since 1880, shortly after its foundation, by the national government which quickly became the main source of funds. Until 1989, DLDS has been the main driver of hedgerow planting (today it is still responsible for 90% of hedgerows planting), holding the monopoly of distributing plants with subsidized prices, providing advisors and offering staff for hedgerow planting (Fig. 1).
Fig 1: DLDS distribution of plants Fig 2: "Flying squads" - planting activities
Around the same time, local planting associations started to appear and in 1902 the Federation of Planting Associations (NBSP) was formed (2). Acting as a national coordinator and organized in regional associations, its purpose was to promote and advice groups of farmers on hedgerows planting and maintenance. The Federation of Planting Associations (today the Danish Planting Association) and the DLDS were strongly associated and together have been the main actors in the network of subsidized hedgerow planting in Denmark until nowadays (3, 4, Fig. 3).
Fig. 3: Central actors in the network related to subsidised hedgerow planting in Denmark.
A good example of the collaboration between the national government and the hedgerows planting scheme were the so-called "Flying Squads". In the 1920s, the collective hedgerow planting model became very popular. It consisted of groups of association members who decided to plant together in the same geographical area at the same time. To fight against the high unemployment rates, the government created the flying squads which carried out the planting work with the support of the Ministry of Social Affairs (financing the hand work) and the Ministry of Agriculture (financing the plant materials) (4, Figure 2). This led to the creation of over a hundred local planting associations under the umbrella of the Federation of Planting Associations. This collective hedgerow planting became the organization's model for the next 3 decades (1).
The 1960s and 1970s showed a decline in the interest in hedgerow planting, also a consequence of reduced governmental support and increasing inflation (1, 2). This situation remained until the mid-final 1980s, when the entrance of the EU financial support supposed a revitalization of the hedgerow planting schemes.
The planting design of hedgerows did not vary too much until the 1960s and consisted mainly of one row of trees (Picea glauca and Picea sitchensis, often complemented with Sorbus intermedia (5)). However, after it became evident that these mono-specific hedgerows had a low permanence and stability, new hedgerow models were developed, taking the value of hedgerows for biodiversity and cultural landscape values into consideration (6).
In 1974, the EU Structural Fund started co-financing hedgerow planting and this push revitalized the hedgerow scheme. First, hedgerows were funded only on agricultural land with a risk of wind erosion in Western Jutland. In 1976 the first Hedgerow Planting act was implemented and financial support was extended to the whole of Denmark. Two different hedgerows planting schemes were established following the same model that was already running: individual and collective schemes, the latest one heavily favored because it supported not only the planting materials (like in the individual scheme), but also planting and maintenance costs for three years.
Fig. 4: Windbreak of five rows, 800 m long. Established withe a 20.000 kr (~2670€) grant from EM Dalgas Memorial in 2013.
The appearance of the EU co-funding implied a transition in the purpose and motivations for hedgerow planting. Although increasing farmland productivity was still the main objective of hedgerow planting, the 1988 act modification specified that hedgerow planting has also positive effects on the landscape. In 1993 the scheme was extended to include the financial support for woodlot planting connected to hedgerows to enhance nature and landscape, acknowledging the role of ecological corridors. Finally, in 2002, aesthetic values were added to the act, recognizing the multifunctional purpose of hedgerows. The individual and collective schemes were balanced, giving the same financial support to both of them (although collective plantings remain predominant).
Today, more recent hedgerows are usually shaped by 3 rows (but comprise sometimes up to 7-8 rows), combining deciduous trees and shrubs and not exceeding 10 meters of width. Its implementation has been extended from the outwash plains of Western Jutland to the whole country (figure 4, figure 5).
Fig. 5: Typical hedgerows plantings are 3 and 6 rowed. It is usually formed by native deciduous species.
In 2005, the ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries analyzed the current situation of the hedgerows scheme in Denmark with special focus on profitability and habitat enhancement values (5, 7) viagra vente en ligne. Their report highlighted the wider hedgerows (6-7 rows) as permanent habitat providers (although not economically beneficial due extra costs), while 3-4 rows were highlighted as green corridors and economically profitable.
The effects of hedgerows on Danish agricultural landscapes are palpable and are a success of a bottom-up approach in land use management. Wind erosion became a minor problem by reducing wind speed. By changing micro-climate, hedgerows increase temperature and crops yield. The current scheme which includes broader purposes has allowed hedgerows to define the landscape in the whole country, even in areas where wind erosion risk is not a problem.

text: Two critical tasks in multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) are to describe criterion values and to aggregate the described information to generate a ranking of alternatives. A flexible and superior tool for the first task is q-rung orthopair fuzzy number (qROFN) and an effective tool for the second task is aggregation operator. So far, nearly thirty different aggregation operators of qROFNs have been presented. Each operator has its distinctive characteristics and can work well for specific purpose. However, there is not yet an operator which can provide desirable generality and flexibility in aggregating criterion values, dealing with the heterogeneous interrelationships among criteria, and reducing the influence of extreme criterion values. To provide such an aggregation operator, Muirhead mean operator, power average operator, partitioned average operator, and Archimedean T-norm and T-conorm operations are concurrently introduced into q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets, and an Archimedean power partitioned Muirhead mean operator of qROFNs and its weighted form are presented and a MCGDM method based on the weighted operator is proposed in this paper. The generalised expressions of the two operators are firstly defined. Their properties are explored and proved and their specific expressions are constructed. On the basis of the specific expressions, a method for solving the MCGDM problems based on qROFNs is then designed. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the method is demonstrated via a numerical example, a set of experiments, and qualitative and quantitative comparisons.

Industrial Maintenance Paint
Definition - What does Industrial Maintenance Paint mean?
Industrial maintenance paint refers to a paint or coating that is used for the protection of industrial structures and components. These paints are primarily chosen considering their protective attributes rather than their aesthetic properties, though they can provide both.
High-performance epoxy coatings, acrylic primers, enamels and finishes can be used to produce industrial maintenance paint.
An industrial maintenance paint may also be referred to as a maintenance paint.
Corrosionpedia explains Industrial Maintenance Paint
Industrial maintenance paints are specially produced paints to protect industrial structures and components. These paints are commonly used to control the corrosion of steel structures of industrial plants; their roofs, platforms and underground pipelines. These coatings are also used as intumescent coatings for the fire resistance of industrial equipment and structures.
The environments of industries are not similar, so different types of coatings with different attributes are needed to meet the specific needs of each environment.
High-performance polymers, acrylic and primers are mainly used to produce industrial paints. Polyurethane, epoxy, moisture-cure urethane and fluoropolymer are commonly used polymers that also produce these paints. The coating produces a polymer film on the coating surface, which acts as a physical barrier between the steel substrate and the industrial corrosive environment. This polymer film protects the industrial structure and components.
As an industrial maintenance coating, high-performance epoxy coatings are ideal for structural steel, piping, tanks and equipment in chemicals, fertilizers, power plants, petroleum refineries, pulp and paper mills, and mining operations. They are also used as a filler for concrete blocks. Various waterborne acrylic coatings are also a good choice for industrial finishes.

you're asking if there is a significant difference between the term 'quest stage' vs 'quest card' and the answer is 'no.' Those terms are used interchangeably. The number of quest stages in play is equal to the number of quest cards in play.
I was hoping there wouldn't be inconsistency within a single set (I understand how words from 2010 and 2015 could end up inconsistent).

This page explains how to interpret the graphs that are generated by doxygen.
Consider the following example:
This will result in the following graph:
The boxes in the above graph have the following meaning:
- A filled gray box represents the struct or class for which the graph is generated.
- A box with a black border denotes a documented struct or class.
- A box with a grey border denotes an undocumented struct or class.
- A box with a red border denotes a documented struct or class forwhich not all inheritance/containment relations are shown. A graph is truncated if it does not fit within the specified boundaries.
The arrows have the following meaning:
- A dark blue arrow is used to visualize a public inheritance relation between two classes.
- A dark green arrow is used for protected inheritance.
- A dark red arrow is used for private inheritance.
- A purple dashed arrow is used if a class is contained or used by another class. The arrow is labeled with the variable(s) through which the pointed class or struct is accessible.
- A yellow dashed arrow denotes a relation between a template instance and the template class it was instantiated from. The arrow is labeled with the template parameters of the instance.

I have been running an ultrasonic sensor on a raspberry pi for a while, with quite some good results.
I wanted to port this on an esp8266 and, it looks like the result are a bit less accurate than on the pi.
Here is the graphs usage of each one :
The line is quite smoother on the pi.
Here is the code i use on the esp8266 to get the values :
Code: Select all
import time import machine trigger_pin=5 echo_pin=4 trigger=machine.Pin(trigger_pin, machine.Pin.OUT) echo=machine.Pin(echo_pin, machine.Pin.IN) def get_distance(): trigger.low() time.sleep_us(5) trigger.high() time.sleep_us(10) trigger.low() while echo.value()==0: start=time.ticks_us() while echo.value()==1: delta=time.ticks_diff(time.ticks_us(), start) distance=(delta/2)/29 return distance
I suspect that the tick is less reliable on the esp8266 than on the pi. For example, in an other project, using a timer of 90000 milliseconds yield in a run of 82 seconds.
Any idea on how the code could be getting better result out of this sensor on esp8266?

In order to better understand the potential for both policy and technological improvements to aid carbon abatement, long-term historical information on the time-path of transition from more traditional to cleaner fuels is useful. Knowing how this varies by socio-economic, demographic and geographic factors is also crucial in designing targeted policies. This research examines the timing and determinants of residential gas connections at area level within Ireland. We merge a unique dataset on gas network roll-out over time, with other geo-coded data and employ an instrumental variables technique in order to simultaneously model supply and demand. Results indicate a non-linear relationship between the proportion of households using gas as their primary means of central heating and the length of time the network has been in place in each area. Proximity to the gas network, peat bogs, and areas which have banned the consumption of bituminous coal also affect gas connections. Variations in socioeconomic and dwelling characteristics at area level can also help explain connections to the gas network.

Recently, RFID has emerged to be a promising technology to revolutionize the supply chain and logistics management. Currently there exists a sharp contrast between retailers in China and their counterparts in the United States with respect for RFID adoption. In the United States, big retailers like Wal-Mart are actively pursuing RFID by issuing mandates to their suppliers worldwide for RFID adoption. However, retailers in China never enjoy such a dominating role in pursuing RFID. To explore what is behind this phenomenon, in this paper, an analysis framework is proposed to develop decision support tools for RFID technology adoption analysis in retailers in China. The framework is realized in a service platform developed based on three principles to help reach mutual understanding between RFID vendors and customers in RFID technology adoption analysis. The framework is illustrated and validated through an example to demonstrate its feasibility to help to analyze the adoption of RFID technologies retailers in China. The technology analysis service platform integrates various tools enabling interactive and flexible analysis processes to understand how RFID technology can be adopted and used effectively in retailers in China and in logistics and supply chain management.

Filtering Posts By: "bias voltage"
02.05.2007| By Shure Notes|
Many users of professional audio equipment believe there is no difference between phantom power and bias voltage. Not true! Phantom and bias are not interchangeable. This bulletin explains the differences between phantom and bias, and addresses common misconceptions. Phantom power is a dc voltage (11 – 48 volts) which powers the preamplifier of a condenser microphone. Phantom power is normally supplied by the microphone mixer, but may also be supplied by a separate phantom power supply. Phantom requires a balanced circuit in which XLR pins 2 and 3 carry the same dc voltage relative to …

A trailing drawdown is a drawdown that is pegged to your positive account performance. That means that if you increase your profit by $1.00, then your trailing drawdown will also rise by $1.00. All rules, including trailing, use closed and open equity intraday.
For example, in a $25,000.00 account your starting trailing drawdown is $23,500.00.
On your first trade as you make $100.00 in profit bringing your account balance to $25,100.00. This correspondingly raises your trailing drawdown to $23,600.00.
This continues until your trailing drawdown reaches the starting balance of your account, or in this case $25,000.00, at which point the drawdown will no longer trail above $25,000.00.
You can check your current maximum drawdown in R | Trader Pro's Trader Dashboard by looking at the Auto Liquidate Threshold Value column. It'll tell you exactly what balance your account is liquidated at.

Why you should never let your pet into your bed
And a few other pet hygiene faux pas...
dog bed sleep
Stella StellaGetty Images
How often do you wash your pet? According to a new survey, for a third of British cat and dog owners, the answer is never.
The research by Animalfriends.co.uk also discovered that a quarter of owners don't wash their pets' food and water bowls on a regular basis. And, perhaps more surprisingly, they found that 18% of owners let their animals eat food from family plates, with 32% finding pet hairs in their meals.
The results, found from a poll of 2,000 cat or dog owners, also showed that nearly half of Brits (46%) are happy to let their pet share a bed with them. This is not only unhygienic but potentially harmful to our health.
Animals can carry and spread stomach bugs like salmonella, and can infect us with parasites, fungal infections, tapeworm, roundworm and some superbugs.
The US-based Centers for Disease Control has summarised the dangers of sharing a bed with your dog. The lead author of their report Bruno Chomel, a professor at the University of California School of Veterinary Medicine, says that people who sleep with their pets can acquire so-called zoonotic diseases (meaning diseases that come from other animals).
But there is one part of the country which is a worse offender than any other in terms of pet hygiene. This is Chelmsford, where 46% of owners admitted to never washing their pets and 12% claim they've been told their house'smells of dog'.
'Many people will only remember to wash their pet's bedding if it's visibly dirty or smells, however, as pointed out in our survey, many pet owners get used to the smell of their animals,' Westley Pearson, managing director from Animalfriends.co.uk said. 'It's advisable to wash your pet's beds as often as you change your own bedding.
'As for your pet's food bowls, these should be washed daily to keep the germs at bay to protect both you and your pet. You wouldn't eat your dinner on a dirty plate, so why should your dog?'
We are sure that you take the bast care of your family pets but, when it comes to hygiene, there's no harm in a gentle reminder for those who perhaps let things slip.

theta is always negative for long calls and long put
Discussion in 'P1.T3. Financial Markets & Products (30%)' started by qin841121, May 9, 2012.
 1. qin841121
 qin841121 Member
 This is a statement by schweser and also investopedia. How can it be true?
 For long put, the longer the option, the cheaper it may get as the expected price of stock will be higher due to interest and because of this the put will decrease in value?
 What is wrong with my logic?
 2. Theta for a long call is always negative. True.
 However, Theta of a long put always exceeds the theta of a call by a fixed amount. Hence for out-of-money puts, the theta may be positive also.
 Another concept to be aware of, theta is measured in terms of "time remaining to maturity (T-t)" in contrast to "time passed (t)" - thinking in terms of "time passed" may be akin to reversing the sign of theta.

High-Powered Blending FAQ
Here are some of the top Frequently Asked Questions about High Powered Blending. If you have a question not listed here, please contact us.
- What is the difference between a high-powered blender and a regular blender?
Technically a high-power blender has more power and speed to rotate its blade compared to other blender appliances. Most household blenders are typically 500 to 750 watts, anything greater could be referred to as high powered. However, most blenders that are marketed as high-powered blenders, have power specifications more than 1000 watts, and higher values are marketed as better with more capabilities than an ordinary blender.
Examples of premium high-powered / high-speed blender models
- Blendtec Blenders: Motor: 1560 to 1800 watts
- Vitamix Ascent Series: Motor: 1440 watts
- Ninja Professional, Motor: 1100-Watts.
- How does a high-powered blending benefit me?
The higher power and RPMs make blending Easier, Faster, and can blend more types of challenging blend ingredients than an average powered kitchen blender or immersion blender. The higher power and speed enable doing blend tasks that are simply too difficult or impossible for lower powered blending equipment. For example, one of the most challenging ingredients for a blender to do is ice, frozen fruit & vegetables. These ingredients are common to making the most popular blended food: SMOOTHIES! Bottom line, if you want to make smoothies and or other challenging ingredient blends and it is important to have it done well (smooth), with ease and efficiency, then you will appreciate the difference and experience you'd get with high powered blending.
- Why is high powered blending easier?
It is easier, because there is less need for food prep time and strategizing how to make it lower power / lower speed blender friendly. Consider for example a lowered powered blender with a task to blend the challenging ingredients in a collard green smoothie with some frozen mango, banana and berries. To attempt this, you may need to cut ingredients like the frozen mango cubes into smaller pieces, cut the frozen banana small slices and dice your collard greens, to help it blend and /or modify the recipe by adding more liquid as well. All this prepping adds up to less ease and more work to get the blend done.
- Why is high powered blending faster?
It is faster, for two reasons.
- Reason One: Less time required to prepare foods for blending. I know we just covered this with ease, but it applies to the fastness as well. With a high-powered blender, ingredients can be put in larger and often whole (skin, seeds and all if you like) with much less food prep time.
- Reason Two: The high-powered motor can rotate its blade in tougher blends, and at a faster rotation, also referred to as: Rotations Per Minute (RPM). This means it gets the blending work done faster.
- What does a high-powered blender do that your average blender cannot?
Typically, a high-powered blender is a premium product and will be designed with better quality materials, technology, features, functions as well as blade and blending jar that are superior to the lesser powered / lower speed types. These other components of the blender play a part in overall performance. However just from the perspective of the higher power and higher speed technical specification, it can blend more challenging ingredients and recipes.
Consider the following examples.
- Blend Hot Soups without a stove – High power + high speed = hot smooth blends like soups, sauces and gravies made right in the blender jar. No need to transfer to a stove top. Although preprogrammed buttons are not needed, some high powered / high speed blending models offer extra functionality such as preprogrammed cycles, which may include a soup blend cycle so that you can blend your hot soups while attending to other things in your kitchen. So, if your yearning to enjoy some fresh hot blender soup recipes, or other hot blends that you can make completely in your blender, a high-powered blending appliance may be a better choice for you.
- Blend Cold Frozen Treats in Seconds – With a high-powered blender you can make ice cream, fruit sorbet and other frozen recipes. Frozen ingredients are one of the most challenging ingredients that requires power to blend and speed to get it done fast. This means it gives you the option of a soft serve ice cream straight from your blender and you are not limited to the type that is made with less challenging ingredients, that is a liquid blend which must be transferred to your freezer for a few hours or so to set.
- Takes the role of other kitchen appliances by doing things like: Grind Coffee, Seeds and Spices, aswell as mill grains into flours, powders and more.
- Blends the extra thick and challenging smooth - There are tasks that require more power and speed to get the blend recipe done. If you want a blend done super fast and smooth and it has challenging ingredients, then high powered blending may be the only option, or at least if it is to be done well. Think extra thick blends like nut butters, humus, batters and dough or even just that smoothie bowl recipe loaded thick with tasty healthy goodness. Bottom line, if you want to be blending anything challenging, done better, smoother and faster, a high speed / high powered blender is the appliance of choice.
- Can I get a high-powered blender with glass jar?
No. Premium manufacturers of high speed / high power blender manufacturers like Blendtec and Vitamix, choose not to offer glass jar containers. And show no intention to offer it in the future. Instead both use a strong, light, poly material called Eastman Tritan copolyester – a clear, durable plastic. The safety of the blender jar material has been reviewed independently and approved safe by regulatory agencies such as: Health Canada, U.S. Food and Drug Administration, European Food Safety Authority, China's Ministry of Health and Japan's Hygienic Olefin and Styrene Plastics Association.
- What is the best high-powered blender for 2018?
The answer is it depends. Simply put, the best blender for you may not be the same as your friends or family. Why? This is because among the top premium quality brands and latest models there are differences in design, features, function, colour finish (to suit your kitchen and or personal style) and price that will make one more suitable for your needs and preferences.
- To quickly see top differences in design and realize what your preferences are, check out this Blender Buyers Guide.
- Also, if you seek only the best in the blender industry leaders are the Blendtec and Vitamix blenders.

Macmillan has only the entry Home Town.
Oxford also has only the entry Home Town (although all examples suggested have hometown written).
Cambridge has only the entry Hometown.
Microsoft Word keeps correcting me (I use BrE dictionary). It underlines Home town: I should write Hometown.
1) Which is the word I should use: Home Town or Hometown?
I've read here that:
Home town is used for "My home town is Flower Mound." Home is modifying the noun, town.
Hometown is an adjective, as in "My hometown memories."
2) Is this all right? Do both words exist, one as a noun and the other as an adjective? If it is the case, why the dictionaries don't have both entries?
Hometown as a noun is American English. Home town (n.) is British English.
Since it's a two-word phrase in British English, it would need to be converted into a compound adjective by using a hyphen, rather than combining them into one word: "My home-town memories" rather than "hometown memories". In American English, "hometown" is also the adjective form.
That's probably why "hometown" isn't appearing in your BrE dictionary searches. "Home-town" may not either, since many compound nouns don't have dictionary entries.

Intermixing in GaAsSb/GaAs single quantum wells
4017 - 4019
Journal of Applied Physics
MetadataShow full item record
Photoluminescence coupled with repetitive thermal annealing has been used to study the interdiffusion process in a 10 nm GaAs 1-x Sb x /GaAs single quantum well. The diffusion equations and the Schrödinger equation were solved numerically to obtain the composition profile and the n = 1 electron to heavy-hole transition energies in the intermixed quantum well, respectively. The intermixing process was shown to obey Fick's second law. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.


The Simplified Modified Rational Method is a runoff method common to the USA, used to generate flows in place of a full hyetograph. This method benefits from easy confirmation of results by hand. This method should not be confused with the UK based Modified Rational Method used to generate peak flows during the Network Design.
Due to its static nature, this runoff method does not require dynamic rainfall, and a single or multiple IDF Table can be used. Most design storms can be used as well, as they hold or can generate IDF tables internally. User Defined rainfall or non-IDF deriving rainfall types (e.g. SCS, Long Term or Observed) cannot be used for static analysis.
In order to perform a sizing analysis using the Simplified Modified Rational Method, two conditions must be met:
 - Each inflow in the phases to be analysed must be using the Simplified Modified Rational runoff method.
 - The Analysis Criteria must be set to use Static method, and a suitable rainfall selected.
This method assumes that the rainfall intensity averaging period is equal to the actual storm duration. This means that the rainfall and runoff that occur before and after the rainfall averaging period are not accounted for. Therefore, the Modified Rational Method may underestimate the required storage volume for any given storm event.
The Simplified Modified Rational Method should normally be used in homogeneous drainage areas of less than 20 acres, with a Time of Concentration of less than 20 minutes.
Calculations are outlined in more detail in the Norfolk, Virginia Engineering Calculations document (pages 5-12 to 5-17).
The method involves the use of the standard rational method equation to generate a peak flow that is then converted into an inflow hydrograph using the following formula:
Q = Flow
Cf = Runoff Coefficient (Adjustment) Factor - Accounts for reduction of infiltration and other losses during high intensity storms
C = Runoff Coefficient
I = Rainfall Intensity – Selected from an IDF table based on the duration
A = Area
The hydrograph is then created using some additional parameter to describe the shape of the curve. These are:
 - Duration of Peak, or rainfall averaging period, Td – The duration to run the storm for before the start of the regression (drain down) limb. This must be greater than or equal to the time of concentration. Where equal the curve is a triangular hydrograph.
 - Recession Limb Multiplier - The time taken to drop back from the peak to zero after the duration of the event. This defaults to 1 to give a triangular curve, but may be increased to give a longer drain down. A value of 1.5 is commonly used as it better reflects the SCS runoff.
The graph starts at 0, 0 and then builds up to the peak flow for the Tc value. It will then remain at that flow rate until Td, at which point it will drop back to zero based on the recession multiplier * Tc.

I just learned about the transfer homomorphism, and I am having trouble internalizing it. I am learning from 'A Course in the Theory of Groups', and I was hoping that perhaps someone had a more intuitive explanation of the transfer to supplement the book's construction.

The transfer tries to capture conjugacy in a homomorphism. This is a little hard to do so the definition is a little complicated. I give a simpler to verify definition from Kurzweil–Stelmmacher, then the standard product-of-conjugates formula and its specialization to the center and to a Hall subgroup.
Smoother definition
Kurzweil–Stellmacher gives a slightly nicer definition of the transfer: Let $H \leq G$ be a subgroup of finite index in the group $G$. If $R,S$ are transversals of $H$ in $G$, define $$(R|S) = \prod_{(r,s) \in R \times S \atop Hr = Hs} \overline{ rs^{-1} } \in H/[H,H]$$ Then one easily verifies that $$(R|S)^{-1} = (S|R), \quad (R|S)(S|T) = (R|T), \quad (Rg|Sg) =(R|S), \quad \text{and} \quad (Rg|R) =(Sg|S)$$ (At the moment, I couldn't do the last in my head, but $(Rg|R) = (Rg|Sg) (Sg|S) (S|R) = (Sg|S)$ since the outer factors cancel by the previous properties and the fact that $(R|S)$ lives in an abelian group.)
Hence the map $tr:G \to H/[H,H]: g \mapsto (Rg|R)$ is well-defined (by the last property) and a homomorphism since $$(Rgh|R) = (Rgh|Rh)(Rh|R) =(Rg|R)(Rh|R)$$
Some important properties
For g in G, consider the orbits of $\langle g \rangle$ on the cosets $G/H$. Let them have representatives $g_i \in R$ and size $n_i$. Then $$tr(g) = \prod g_i g^{n_i} g_i^{-1}$$ is a product of conjugates of $g$. In particular, if $g \in Z(G)$, then all the conjugates are the same, so $$tr(g) = g^{[G:H]}, \quad \text{if } g \in Z(G)$$ and a similar formula holds if we consider $tr(g)$ mod the subgroup $$H^* = \langle h^{-1} h^g : h,h^g \in H, g \in G \rangle$$ since modulo this subgroup, all $G$-conjugates are the same: $$tr(g) \equiv g^{[G:H]} \mod H^*, \quad \text{if } g \in H$$
In particular, if $G$ does not sufficiently swirl $H$, that is, if $H^* < H$, and if $\gcd([H:H^*],[G:H])=1$ (for instance if $H$ is Hall or Sylow), then the transfer map restricts to an automorphism of $H/H^*$ and in particular $G$ has a proper normal subgroup $K=\ker(tr)$ such that $H \cap K = H^*$. When $H$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup, this $H^*$ is called the focal subgroup and is equal to $H \cap [G,G]$.
Notice that $H^* \geq [H,H]$ measures how much extra conjugacy (fusion) $G$ causes in $H$. The transfer allows us to pull $H^*$ back into $G$, and so we get a normal subgroup of $G$ that somehow measures fusion in $H$. Again this is most useful and precise when $H$ is a Hall or Sylow subgroup of $G$.

Other good answers would include the definition from homology of groups, and the definition from character theory. This answer is closest to the material in Robinson, if I recall correctly. – Jack Schmidt Oct 2 '12 at 21:45
There is a way (in my opinion, quite natural) which leads not only to transfer map, but also to the induced representations.

General Conventions
This part of the Best Practices Guide explains general conventions.
Chart Names
Chart names must be lower case letters and numbers. Words may be separated with dashes (-):
Neither uppercase letters nor underscores can be used in chart names. Dots should not be used in chart names.
The directory that contains a chart MUST have the same name as the chart. Thus, the chart nginx-lego MUST be created in a directory called nginx-lego/. This is not merely a stylistic detail, but a requirement of the Helm Chart format.
Version Numbers
Wherever possible, Helm uses SemVer 2 to represent version numbers. (Note that Docker image tags do not necessarily follow SemVer, and are thus considered an unfortunate exception to the rule.)
When SemVer versions are stored in Kubernetes labels, we conventionally alter the + character to an _ character, as labels do not allow the + sign as a value.
Formatting YAML
YAML files should be indented using two spaces (and never tabs).
Usage of the Words Helm and Chart
There are a few conventions for using the words Helm and helm.
 - Helm refers to the project as a whole
 - helm refers to the client-side command
 - The term chart does not need to be capitalized, as it is not a proper noun
 - However, Chart.yaml does need to be capitalized because the file name is case sensitive
When in doubt, use Helm (with an uppercase 'H').

Traditional Welsh foods
What are the traditional foods of Wales?
Unlike England where a number of culinary traditions filtered down from the upper levels of society, the traditional dishes of Wales literally grew from the land.
Reports from 1896 show that farmers and tenants survived on home-cured meat of domestic animals, home grown vegetables, dairy products and cereal-based dishes. Farmers and cottagers would fatten and slaughter at least one pig a year to provide a constant supply of salted bacon. On larger farms, a bullock or cow was killed and the meat shared between neighbouring farms.
Meat and Vegetables
Cattle provided milk to produce butter and cheese, and vegetables such as leeks, carrots, cabbages, herbs and, from the 18th century onwards, potatoes were grown. Wild fruits, plants, animals and birds were used when in season. Communities living close to coastal regions were able to vary their diet by collecting shellfish and seaweed to make laverbread.
The harsh landscape meant that oats and barley were the most common cereal crops, with wheat confined to the fertile lowlands. Oatmeal was one of the basic elements in the diet of the Welsh. Among the everyday foods served in most rural districts until the early 20th century were Llymru (flummery) and sucan (sowans), consisting of oatmeal steeped in cold water and buttermilk, boiled until thickened and served cool with milk or treacle, bwdram (thin flummery), uwd (porridge) and griwel blawd ceirch (oatmeal gruel).
Oat-bread was the most common bread to be eaten in Wales until the late 19th century. It was used in north Wales as a basic ingredient in cereal pottages such as picws mali (shot) or siot (shot); a popular light meal consisting of crushed oat-bread soaked in buttermilk. Br?es (brose) was a common dish in the agricultural areas of the north and was regularly prepared as a breakfast dish for the men-servants. It was made from crushed oat-bread steeped in meat stock and sprinkled with crushed oat-bread before serving.
Welsh rural society was largely self-supporting with the exception of sugar, salt, tea, rice and currants, which had to be purchased. Very little fresh fruit was bought and eggs were only eaten on very rare occasions.
The open hearth
The open fire was central to cooking throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, and in many rural homes well into the 20th century. Such limited cooking facilities also governed what could be prepared. Stews, joints of meat and puddings were boiled in a cooking pot or cauldron.
Pot ovens were used for roasting meat and baking cakes. Bakestones were widely used to bake oatcakes, drop scones, soda bread, pancakes and griddlecakes (such as Welsh Cakes).
Although the tradition of living off the land survived until a later period in the rural areas, change came with improved roads and modern shopping facilities, not to mention the arrival of fridges and home freezers. Today, the majority of these dishes are mostly eaten on special occasions as 'traditional food'.

A small tinplate screen, found in the industrial communities of both north and south Wales. Small pieces of meat were suspended from the hooks inside the curved, reflecting hood and the whole oven would sit on a trivet (an iron bracket) in front of the fire. It was also possible to bake tea-time favourites such as round cakes, or teisen lap in the shallow drip-tray.

Saba, Lakatan, and Bongolan bananas could be considered additional or alternative to Cavendish fibers as source of raw materials for textile manufacture.
In the study conducted by a senior science research specialist at the Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI) on the potential of fibers from the trunks of six banana cultivars—Saba, Lakatan, Bongolan, Pakil, Saksik, and Tordan—for textile production, Saba shows potential for high fiber yield based on this cultivar's low residual gum content. Ms. Marites S. de Leon, the researcher, explained that the residual gum content is one of the major considerations in assessing cellulosic fiber's suitability for textile use. She stressed that fiber with very high gum content will not be economically viable for textile use because such fiber will require higher pretreatment inputs to attain the desired gum content level which results in low fiber yield. Among the six cultivars, Saba fibers have residual gum content close to that of the Cavendish fibers, which have been identified as suitable for textile purposes. The residual gum content of Bongolan and Lakatan, although significantly different from that of the Cavendish, is still within the acceptable gum content range.
In terms of strength, results of the study show that Lakatan was the strongest among the six cultivars, with mean tensile strength even higher than that of the Cavendish.


Blind men and an elephant

Blind men touching parts of an elephant
The Blind men and an elephant is an idiom.
The story of the blind men and an elephant comes from India. It is about a range of truths and mistakes. It is also about the need for communication and the need for respect for different perspectives.
The idiom shows the effects of observation and bias.[1] Idioms are a common stumbling block for learners of a language.
Story[change | change source]
A group of blind men (or men in the dark) touch an elephant to learn what it is like. Each one feels a different part, but only one part. For example, one touches only the side and another touches only the tusk.
The blind men discover that they disagree when each describes what he has learned from touching the elephant.
Poem[change | change source]
A famous version of story is a poem -- "The Blind Men and the Elephant" by John Godfrey Saxe (1816–1887).
And so these men of Hindustan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right
And all were in the wrong.
The poem begins:
It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind[2]
They conclude that the elephant is like a wall, snake, spear, tree, fan or rope, depending upon where they touch. None of blind men's description is correct for the whole elephant.[3]

A _USER_ is a more flexible way to define a form / wizard. You are supposed to map methods to requests based on requested path / request parameters / request method. So instead of defining a list of views and processing the request based on some required "step" parameter, you can define the steps of your wizard as you wish (also the command object will be handled more transparently). Here's how you can get to emulate a classic AWFC functionality (this is only meant to be an example, there's a lot more you can do).
public class WizardController {
 * The default handler (page=0)
 public String getInitialPage(final ModelMap modelMap) {
 // put your initial command
 modelMap.addAttribute("command", new YourCommandClass());
 // populate the model Map as needed
 return "initialView";
 * First step handler (if you want to map each step individually to a method). You should probably either use this
 * approach or the one below (mapping all pages to the same method and getting the page number as parameter).
 _USER_(params = "_step=1")
 public String processFirstStep(final _USER_("command") YourCommandClass command,
 final Errors errors) {
 // do something with command, errors, request, response,
 // model map or whatever you include among the method
 // parameters. See the documentation for _USER_
 // to get the full picture.
 return "firstStepView";
 * Maybe you want to be provided with the _page parameter (in order to map the same method for all), as you have in
 * AbstractWizardFormController.
 _USER_(method = RequestMethod.POST)
 public String processPage(_USER_("_page") final int currentPage,
 final _USER_("command") YourCommandClass command,
 final HttpServletResponse response) {
 // do something based on page number
 return pageViews[currentPage];
 * The successful finish step ('_finish' request param must be present)
 _USER_(params = "_finish")
 public String processFinish(final _USER_("command") YourCommandClass command,
 final Errors errors,
 final ModelMap modelMap,
 final SessionStatus status) {
 // some stuff
 return "successView";
 _USER_(params = "_cancel")
 public String processCancel(final HttpServletRequest request,
 final HttpServletResponse response,
 final SessionStatus status) {
 return "canceledView";
I tried to vary the method signatures so that you can get an idea about the flexibility I mentioned. Of course, there's a lot more to it: you can make use of request method (GET or POST) in the _USER_, you can define a method annotated with _USER_, etc.
EDIT: I had an unmapped method which I fixed (by the way, you need to make sure you don't have ambiguous mappings -- requests that could be mapped to more than one method -- or unmapped requests -- requests that cannot be mapped to any method). Also have a look at _USER_, _USER_ and _USER_, which are also needed for fully simulating the behaviour of the classic AWFC (I edited the code already to make this clear).

Am trying to work off a Microsoft Excel Chart that I have made with the data (basically with one row for provinces and the other row for populations)- however, importing via a delimited text layer isn't working. I'm pretty new to GIS, and am wondering if there as an elementary error I am making - do I need to enter vector data for each province in my excel file before these will display? Is there an easy way to elicit this from the shapefile(s) that I have that display the provinces in the country?
Thank you so much for your time - I'm trying to learn this as well as I can!

Try reformatting the file so it's columns instead of rows (im assuming this is how the attribute data is organised in the Shapefile?) make sure the field names:
 - Don't contain spaces
 - Are less than 64 characters
 - Special characters (stick to letters)
Arc doesn't like these.
Now what you want to do here is use the 'Add Join' function (located in the Data Management toolbox) to link the Excel Spreadsheet table to your Shapefile. The tool will add animal population data to the shapefile attribute table, assuming that the you join by country names and the country names match up exactly.
I would explain how to use the tool but i think the official documentation will do a better job than me! : _URL_

Driving Skills for Life Video Game is Newest Tool for New Drivers
There are many ways to a teenager's heart and one of them is through video games. With that in mind, Ford Driving Skills for Life (DFSL) and Michigan State University (MSU) have teamed up to produce a new video game that is designed to capture young hearts and minds to help keep them safe behind the wheel.
"Research has found driving simulation can effectively introduce new drivers to potentially life-saving skills," says Jim Graham, manager, Ford Driving Skills for Life. "Tens of thousands of new drivers have attended our driving clinics, but this new game will provide millions of new drivers the opportunity to test and develop their skills online and on their schedule."
The online video game is patterned after DSFL's award-winning driving exercises – a key element of the program. The game was developed by MSU's Games for Entertainment and Learning Lab. Using the latest gaming technology, the game simulates the hands-on driving exercises taught in traditional Ford DSFL driving clinics. The new game can be accessed on the Ford Driving Skills for Life website.
"Many drivers in training have been playing video games for years. Through the game, we are able to leverage the engagement and fun of gaming technology and use it to create an educational experience that is appealing to these new drivers," states Brian Winn, Director of the Games for Entertainment and Learning Lab at Michigan State University. "Given the safety of the game environment, we are able to put players in situations that simulate hands-on training, thereby avoiding making potentially deadly mistakes in the real-world."
More than 3,000 teens ages 15-19 are killed each year on American roads, making traffic fatalities the leading cause of death of American teens, according to government statistics. As the most comprehensive driving skills program in the U.S., Ford DSFL is designed to make a difference by reducing these preventable tragedies. Now in its ninth year, Ford DSFL is a partnership between Ford Motor Company Fund and the Governors Highway Safety Association. The program includes free professional driver instruction, a Web-based curriculum, free educational materials, state grants and statewide education partnerships.
Ford DSFL, in partnership with AAA Michigan, Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning and Henry Ford Hospital-West Bloomfield, also is launched "Strive for a Safer Drive" – a Michigan statewide effort that includes peer-to-peer safe driving campaigns, use of simulators in schools and professional hands-on driving clinics. The program will reach more than 30 high schools during the six-month period and is patterned after a similar DSFL partnership that helped reduce teen traffic fatalities by 45 percent in Illinois.
