It would seem that one way of proving this would be to show the existence of non-algebraic numbers. Is there a simpler way to show this?

Does that mean that a vector space over $\mathbb{Q}$ is finite-dimensional iff the set of the vector space is countable? If so, please prove it. – Isaac Solomon Oct 7 '10 at 2:55
_USER_ Your question doesn't require the 'only if' anyway. Steve's observation answers your original question. – yasmar Oct 7 '10 at 3:04
_USER_: how is the fact that $\mathbb{R}$ is finite dimensional over itself relevant? – Arturo Magidin Oct 7 '10 at 3:31

As Steve D. noted, a finite dimensional vector space over a countable field is necessarily countable: if $v_1,\ldots,v_n$ is a basis, then every vector in $V$ can be written uniquely as $\alpha_1 v_1+\cdots+\alpha_n v_n$ for some scalars $\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_n\in F$, so the cardinality of the set of all vectors is exactly $|F|^n$. If $F$ is countable, then this is countable. Since $\mathbb{R}$ is uncountable and $\mathbb{Q}$ is countable, $\mathbb{R}$ cannot be finite dimensional over $\mathbb{Q}$. (Whether it has a basis or not depends on your set theory).
Your further question in the comments, whether a vector space over $\mathbb{Q}$ is finite dimensional if and only if the set of vectors is countable, has a negative answer. If the vector space is finite dimensional, then it is a countable set; but there are infinite-dimensional vector spaces over $\mathbb{Q}$ that are countable as sets. The simplest example is $\mathbb{Q}[x]$, the vector space of all polynomials with coefficients in $\mathbb{Q}$, which is a countable set, and has dimension $\aleph_0$, with basis $\{1,x,x^2,\ldots,x^n,\ldots\}$.
Added: Of course, if $V$ is a vector space over $\mathbb{Q}$, then it has countable dimension (finite or denumerable infinite) if and only if $V$ is countable as a set. So the counting argument in fact shows that not only is $\mathbb{R}$ infinite dimensional over $\mathbb{Q}$, but that (if you are working in an appropriate set theory) it is uncountably-dimensional over $\mathbb{Q}$.

Related to the note about uncountable dimension, there are explicit examples of continuum-sized linearly independent sets, as seen in this MathOverflow answer by François G. Dorais: mathoverflow.net/questions/23202/… – Jonas Meyer Oct 7 '10 at 4:18
Yes: but can one show that there is a basis for $\mathbb{R}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ without some form of the Axiom of Choice? (There is a difference between exhibiting a large linearly independent subset and exhibiting a basis). – Arturo Magidin Oct 7 '10 at 14:51
No, one cannot, but without the Axiom of Choice the notion of dimension breaks down (except for finite vs. infinite). Assuming AC (as I virtually always do), the size of a linearly independent set gives a lower bound on the dimension of the vector space, and I think it is wonderful that in this case such "explicit" proof exists that the real numbers have continuum dimension, as opposed to the nice qualitative proof one could give by extending your argument to larger cardinals. – Jonas Meyer Oct 7 '10 at 16:02
_USER_: No argument there (with any of your points). – Arturo Magidin Oct 7 '10 at 17:23
good link _USER_, thanks – Leon Lampret Sep 23 '11 at 0:23

The cardinality argument mentioned by Arturo is probably the simplest. Here is an alternative: an explicit example of an infinite $\rm\: \mathbb Q$-independent set of reals. Consider the set consisting of the logs of all primes $\rm\: p_i\:$. Then if $\rm\ \: c_1\ log\ p_1 +\:\cdots\: + c_n\ log \ p_n \: =\ 0\:,\ \: c_i\in\mathbb Q\:,\: $ multiplying by a common denominator we can assume that all $\rm\ c_i \in \mathbb Z\:,\:$ and, exponentiating, we obtain $\rm\: p_1^{\:c_1}\cdots p_n^{\:c_n} = 1\ \Rightarrow\ c_i = 0,\:$ for all $\rm\:i\:$.

_USER_ +1 What a nice example. – Adrián Barquero Oct 7 '10 at 4:50
_USER_. Wow! :-) – a.r. Oct 7 '10 at 6:08
Is this proof unique to Q or does it generalize to provide explicit examples of reals linearly independent over, e.g., Q(sqrt(2))? Above, Q appears to be "hard-wired" into the proof, as the group of exponents in the prime factorization. – T.. Oct 12 '10 at 7:14
_USER_ S. "Then, any number field has a finite extension whose class number is 1." This would imply in particular that there are infinitely many number fields of class number one, which I am pretty sure is an open problem. I wonder what you are thinking here? – Pete L. Clark Jan 22 '11 at 10:20
Can you extend the idea of this proof to get the right dimension? Currently, you only have a countably infinite independent set, but the dimension is size continuum. – JDH Jun 23 '11 at 2:22

No transcendental numbers are needed for this question. Any set of algebraic numbers of unbounded degree spans a vector space of infinite dimension. Explicit examples of linearly independent sets of algebraic numbers are also relatively easy to write down.
The set $\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{\sqrt{2}}, \dots, = \cup_{n>0} 2^{2^{-n}} $ is linearly independent over $Q$. (Proof: Any expression of the $n$th iterated square root $a_n$ as a linear combination of earlier terms $a_i, i < n$ of the sequence could also be read as a rational polynomial of degree dividing $2^{n-1}$ with $a_n$ as a root and this contradicts the irreducibility of $X^m - 2$, here with $m=2^n$).
The square roots of the prime numbers are linearly independent over $Q$. (Proof: this is immediate given the ability to extend the function "number of powers of $p$ dividing $x$" from the rational numbers to algebraic numbers. $\sqrt{p}$ is "divisible by $p^{1/2}$" while any finite linear combination of square roots of other primes is divisible by an integer power of $p$, i.e., is contained in an extension of $Q$ unramified at $p$).
Generally any infinite set of algebraic numbers that you can easily write down and is not dependent for trivial reasons usually is independent. This because the only algebraic numbers for which we have a simple notation are fractional powers, and valuation (order of divisibility) arguments work well in this case. Any set of algebraic numbers where, of the ones ramified at any prime $p$, the amount of ramification is different for different elements of the set, will be linearly independent. Proof: take the most ramified element in a given linear combination, express it in terms of the others, and compare valuations.

_USER_..: Yes, of course. But, in my experience, students find the proof using logs of primes to be much simpler than any of the algebraic versions. That's why I presented it that way. – Bill Dubuque Oct 11 '10 at 14:18
_USER_: the question asked about proofs that do not "show the existence of non-algebraic numbers", and so it is of interest to give proofs that stay entirely within the algebraic (real) numbers. The set of sqrt(p) has minimal "depth" and the sqrt(sqrt...(2)) tower has minimal "width" among algebraic examples, making them somewhat canonical. The log(p) argument can be thought of as using an Archimedean valuation, complementing the approach with p-adic (non-Archimed

2019 13th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP)
Publish Year: 2018
Abstract: This paper presents the frequency dependence of the path loss in urban macro-cellular (UMa) scenario under the non-line-of-sight (NLOS) case. The mobility measurements in two different cities are conducted to obtain the path loss at 2.54, 3.5, 4.9, and 5.4 GHz. Some special UMa environments are illustrated. Furthermore, their path loss characteristics and the reason for causing this phenomenon are analyzed. Comparison of the frequency dependence coefficient (FDC) in different environments are performed. The results show the values of FDC remain stable in different UMa environments under the NLOS case while other parameters of fitting results variant. Additionally, this paper investigates the FDC in different distances. It can be found that the FDC shows little dependence on the distance at low frequencies, and the FDC in different distances shows a normal distribution. The results indicate that the FDC is not influenced by environments and distances in the UMa scenario under the NLOS case.

The white moss (Leucobryum glaucum)? Surely it is green? You actually need to see this moss close up to see why it is called white moss. The shoots are actually different colours, some are a dirty white, some a glaucous colour (see the glaucum in the scientific name) and some are pale green. From a distance it looks green but close up it looks more white.
This is a common moss in acid conditions, especially on damp soils in woods, heaths and bogs; the soil must be bare and very acidic. It forms tufted mats of closely packed shoots and it is sometimes called the pin cushion moss for this very reason. In favourable conditions these mats can be quite large and cover earth, logs, stumps and even tree trunks. It is very distinctive and cannot really be mistaken for any other moss species which, in moss identification, is a real treat for the novice!.

Factors Affecting Specific Gravity of Potatoes
Spectrum Analytic Inc
This article discusses some of the factors that can affect the specific gravity of potatoes.
Some work has shown an association between chloride (Cl) application and decreased specific gravity. However, other literature indicates that potatoes are more sensitive than many crops to shortages of chloride. Producers who suspect that excessive chlorides may be a problem should consider using potassium sulfate vs. potassium chloride for K2O.
Excess or insufficient soil moisture can lower specific gravity. Optimum moisture availability as tubers approach maturity can increase specific gravity.
Vine kill at peak physiological maturity increases specific gravity, and killing vines slowly with chemicals increases specific gravity compared to a quick kill by physical means.
Short day lengths during tuber formation contribute to higher specific gravity, so adjusting planting dates to take advantage of this can be beneficial.
While high levels of available Calcium (Ca) has not been proven to directly affect the specific gravity of potatoes, it has been shown to play a major role in improving several other "quality" factors in potatoes. Calcium is a structural component of cell walls. Adequate Ca, therefore, contributes to the structural integrity of plant cells. Potatoes low in Ca will have an increased susceptibility to internal brown spot and soft rot disease in tubers. In the studies where additional Ca reduced these problems, gypsum was applied at rates of 500 and 750 lb./acre in the root zone. High levels of available Ca has also been shown to improve potato skin-set.

Work Out With Your Dog - How Animal Agility Training Can Burn Calories For You
The University of Massachusetts studied human oxygen consumption during canine agility training. John Ales
Vigorous Exercise for Dog and Human
Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Department of Kinesiology have studied the impact on humans during canine agility training, and their findings were recently highlighted on Zoom Room Dog Agility Training Center's website.
The researchers looked at oxygen consumption (using a face mask and battery-operated, portable metabolic system that measures breath-by-breath gas exchange) as well as heart rate (detected and recorded using a Polar heart rate monitor). The data collected was translated into Metabolic Equivalents, or METs, a way of comparing how much energy a person expends at rest versus during a given activity.


Microsoft Xbox 360 Setup Instructions
ResNet recommends connecting your console using a wired internet connection through a router. The wired connection is more reliable and can be up to 20X faster than the wireless connection. Using a router also allows you to connect multiple devices to the wired port at the same time, without having to re-register. For more information on how to setup a router with the Georgia Tech network, see our router setup page.
Wired Configuration for Microsoft Xbox 360
If you will be connecting more than one device to the wired port in your room, you will need to use a router. If you need help setting up your router, check out our router setup tutorial. Once your router is set up, simply connect your Xbox directly to one of the ports on the router and you should be good to go.
If you want to connect your Xbox 360 directly to the wired port in your room, you can do so without a router.
 1. Connect your Xbox 360 to the port in your room with an ethernet cable.
 2. Turn on your Xbox and go to the dashboard.
 3. Navigate to System Settings, then to Network Settings.
 4. Select Configure Network.
 5. Select Wired Connection with an automatic configuration and test the connection. It should fail at this point, but this step lets our switch see your Xbox.
 6. Return to the Configure Network menu.
 7. Scroll right to the Additional Settings tab.
 8. Scroll down and select the box containing Advanced Settings, Host Name, and Alternate Mac Address.
 9. At the bottom of the screen, just above the Done button, you should see Wired MAC Address, followed by a series of 12 letters and numbers. Write this series down.
 10. Using a computer or any device with a web browser, navigate to Sign in with your GT account.
 11. Press Register a Different Device.
 12. Read the information on this page. Then, in the MAC Address box, type in what you wrote down in step 9.
 13. Select whether you live in a Residence Hall or Greek House.

 6. On your personal computer, navigate to the LAWN Device Login page. Fill in your GT account, password, and the MAC address that you wrote down earlier, and check the 'disable ISS' check box (Allows you to play online). Note that you will need to log in by this method every time you want to log on to the internet through wireless.
You should now be able to connect to the internet and Xbox Live.


Public Release: Football displays fractal dynamics
Physicists reveal that the real-time dynamics in a football game are subject to self-similarity characteristics in keeping with the laws of physics
Football fascinates millions of fans, almost all of them unaware that the game is subject to the laws of physics. Despite their seemingly arbitrary decisions, players obey certain rules, as they constantly adjust their positions in relation to their teammates, opponents, the ball and the goal. A team of Japanese scientists has now analysed the time-dependent fluctuation of both the ball and all players' positions throughout an entire match. They discovered that a simple rule governs the complex dynamics of the ball and the team's front-line. These findings, published in EPJ B, could have implications for other ball games, providing a new perspective on sports science.

The save/replace game dialogue - part 1
2/19/2009 – ChessBase 10 contains a large variety of fields into which you can input player and tournament information when saving a game. Some of these can be confusing for new users. In this week's ChessBase Workshop, learn the important difference between saving and replacing a game, and get a first look at the most commonly-used game header fields. Workshop...
Your key to fresh ideas, precise analyses and targeted training!
This week's ChessBase Workshop is going to focus on an old program feature which still proves troublesome to new users: the save game/replace game dialogue. Although we've discussed this before in a previous column or two, it's one of those areas which really can't be stressed enough; understanding it fully can save you a lot of grief later on down the road.
To begin our discussion, let's look at the important differences between saving and replacing games in a database. In its simplest form, the main difference can be boiled down to a couple of rules of thumb:
 - If you're manually entering a new game move-by-move into a database, you'll want to use "Save game" when you're finished.
 - If you're adding commentary/variations or making other changes to an existing game, you'll want to use "Replace game" when you're finished.
It's that simple. Of course, there are always exceptions, among them being cases in which you might annotate a game contained in one database and wish to save the finished product in a different one, or you may add notes to a game which already contains commentary by someone else and wish to save yours as a separate copy (in order to preserve the other guy's original work in an unaltered form), etc. But the two bulleted cases listed above will serve as general rules of thumb.
Saving a game means that a separate copy will be saved into the database (and which, by the way, will appear as the last game in a database's game list). Replacing a game means that the original game in the database will be replaced by the version you just altered (and the newly-altered version will appear in the same spot in the game list as did the original unaltered version).
There you have it -- the basic difference between the two actions.
Regardless of whether you're saving or replacing a game, you'll see the same dialogue appear on your screen. If you're saving a game, the dialogue won't contain any information (most of its fields will be blank):
If you're replacing a game, the existing information (from when the game was originally saved) will appear in the dialogue:
In both cases, you can add or change information in this dialogue before clicking "OK" (which completes the process and either saves or replaces the game).
Let's look now at the specific dialogue information and how it should be recorded. We'll assume for the sake of the discussion that we're "starting fresh": entering a game by hand and saving it into a database (as opposed to adding information to, and replacing, an existing game). We've entered the moves of the game and are ready to save it. We click "Save" and get our "blank" dialogue:
"White" and "Black" refer to the respective two players. Note the small comma between the two "blanks" after 'White"; this gives us a valuable clue as to how this part of the dialogue should be filled in. The comma tells us that the leftmost blank should contain the player's last name, followed in the rightmost box by the player's first name. The boxes for "Black" work the same way:
If you're hand-entering a game played by professional players (perhaps from a chess book or magazine), you can use the "question mark" buttons to the far right of both "White" and "Black" to search for the player in the Players Encyclopedia and automatically enter the information contained therein.
We're going to skip over the "Tournament" field temporarily, though we'll come back to it. We're going to devote a whole column to the options for just this field. For now, you can just enter a geographic place name or an actual tournament name here.
The "ECO" field will already be filled in for you. The software will already have identified the proper alphanumeric Encyclopedia of Chess Openings code and will automatically place the information in the box.
"Elo White" and "Elo Black" are where you'll enter the players' ratings (if known). Once again I'll remind you that Arpad Elo's rating system for games and sports wasn't adopted internationally in the chess community until the early 1970's; chess games played prior to this will not have rating information available.
You can enter "Round" and "Subround" numbers if known (and if applicable). Why "Subround"? You'll occasionally see chess events in which the players might play one game as each color as part of a "round" (i.e two -- or three, if tiebreaks are involved -- games per round); the "subround" field gives you a place to enter such information.
"Result" allows you to enter a variety of game results, including a number of different evaluation symbols (via the "pulldown" arrow, which you would use when entering some analysis instead of an actual game). "Date" will typically default to the date you're manually entering the game, so you'll often change this to the date the game was actually played.
When you're finished, just click the "OK" button to complete the process of saving the game into the database.
There's an important difference of which you should be aware when replacing a game. There will be several bits of information already filled in, consisting of the existing game header info:
Note that some information contains a check in a box beside it (in the above illustration, it's "ECO Code", "Round", and "Year"). Other information, while filled in, doesn't have a check in the corresponding box ("Month" and "Day" in the illustration). It's important to note that even though some header info might already be filled in, it won't appear in the actual replaced game header unless the corresponding box is checked. Going back to the illustration, you don't need to worry about the wrong month and day being saved in the header; even though there are values in the boxes, there's no check in the boxes -- the info isn't saved when "OK" is clicked.
There are a couple of other observations which should be made before we leave off for another week. First, you're not required to put something in every single field in this dialogue. If you don't know a round number or the month and day a game was played, just leave those fields blank; the software will still save the game anyway.
You can also put pretty much anything you want into a field. For example, you've entered the moves of a line of analysis taken from an opening reference; you want to save it into a database, but you don't have any player or tournament information available. How do you complete the game header?
I do this sort of thing all the time. Typically I'll just type the word "Analysis" in the box for the White player's last name, while leaving the first name field blank. In the Black player's last name field, I'll type either the verbal name of the opening or the moves of a brief identifying variation line. In the "Tournament" box, I'll type the name of the opening reference from which the analysis came (so I know the source later). For "Result" I'll use the evaluation given in that source material. For "Year" I use the year the source material was published (and I'll even include a month number if the analysis came from a chess magazine).
You can enter any information you want, but the important thing is to be consistent. Don't input one game with the word "Analysis" in the White player field and then put that word in the Black player field the next time around. Don't use the year of publication one time and then use the year you saved it in your database for the next bit of analysis you enter.
And whether you're saving games or analysis, be as thorough as you can with your game headers. For player names, use a player's full first name if you have that info available, not just an initial or (worse) a blank in the "first name" field. If you have the exact date a game was played, there's no reason to not enter the whole thing in your saved game header.
Be thorough and be consistent, and this will save you a lot of aggravation later.
Until next week, have fun!

Boogieboard vs. Paipo
What's the difference between a paipo and a boogieboard?
We get quite a few questions asking how our Paipos compare with the modern day boogie boards. Truth be told, there isn't much comparison. But if that were all to the story, then there wouldn't be much reason to keep writing! While paipos and boogie boards both share a common ancestor, they differ drastically in construction methods, maneuverability, and actual use. Hopefully this article will answer your questions and help you transition from your sponge to a rigid paipo.
Paul showing off the thickness of the solid fiberglass construction.
HPD Paipos don't float like boogieboards
Unlike foam-core bodyboards and boogie boards, HPD Paipos are rigid in construction. Made from solid fiberglass, HPD Paipos do not retain any air within the fiberglass material. Instead, we rely on the relative density of our boards to allow our paipos to rise to the top of the water column when released under water. This is a primary principle of HPD Paipos that makes our boards super durable.
Paipos use hydrodynamic properties to push the board to the surface and stay "afloat" while under speed. Much like an airplane uses air to stay flying, an HPD Paipo is curved in such a way to force water underneath the board, pushing the board upward. When water is no longer flowing over the board (like after a wipeout), the board is no longer able so surf, so it will stop not far away from the wipeout, and slowly rise to the surface. This is why many old timers never went out with leashes, as their boards usually weren't far away.
On the other hand, boogie boards rely on encapsulated foam to retain air within the structure. This of course makes paddling very easy, and launching on waves a no-brainer, but it is very difficult to duck-dive under sets. And forget about riding one without a leash.
Paipo XL bottom turn at Pipeline.
HPD Paipos are durable
Thanks to their solid fiberglass construction, HPD Paipos last pretty much forever. Back in the 90's Paul would drive his truck over the boards in the parking lot, and take videos slamming the boards into a coconut tree. We'll try and dig these up and post them, but be warned they are definitely cringe-worthy!
HPD Paipos are FAST!
Like we mentioned before, HPD's rigid fiberglass construction allows our Paipos to maintain shape under high-speed and stress. Foam boogieboards "squish" down when under stress, or under a heavy rider. This can deform the boogieboard and slows it way down in the water.
A Swimaster Duck Feet ad thought to be from the 1970s, showing the Voit/Swimaster UDT Duck Feet fins that were popular among paipo riders.
Wear Fins!
You might not need fins with a boogieboard on the small stuff, but everybody knows having powerful fins is a must when bodyboarding on large wave. Good fins provide thrust to help catch surf, and make swimming in strong current possible. Without fins, it will be an exhausting and frustrating day.
We used to use the UDT Duck Feet fins back in the day, and I still own a pair today. They are stiffer than normal fins, and really long to provide lots of thrust. Just google VOIT UDT Duck Feet and you'll be able to find them for a decent price online.
Taking Off
Catching a wave on a paipo is not the same as a boogieboard. Since flotation is minimal, the secret to catching waves on a Paipo is to push the board out infront of you, and make yourself as long as possible.
This is where nice, powerful fins come in handy. When the board is way out in front of you, start kicking and build up speed.
Once you feel the wave start to pick you up, pull the board in towards your chest and you will feel the speed pick up. This is very counter-intuitive coming from a boogieboard background, where flotation assists in catching waves. Getting the hang of this process might take a few tries, but once you figure it out, it becomes second nature, and catching waves gets easy.
Still Have Questions?
We love talking to our riders and helping them get used to our bodyboards. If you have any questions, just give us a call. We're here to help!
2 thoughts on "Boogieboard vs. Paipo"
 1. I bodyboard, make my own the past 10 years. I have made several boards, usually a foam core, shaped like a surfboard, 4 ft long with a 4 inch rocker in front and usually quad fins. Some I've fiberglassed like a surfboard and some I've made like a soft top surfboard. Can't use fins anymore, see below, is why the longboard for better float, speed paddling, etc.
 I basically use what you suggest is a paipo technique while surfing. In big waves and in air drops I also push the board way out ahead. The technique eliminates what surfers call "perling", or digging the nose in and wiping out. Once i've reached the bottom, I pull the board in and start the bottom turn. It's only a technique necessary when dropping straight down the wave. Not necessary in small or when I'm already in the wave moving parallel to it.
 The most dangerous board I surfed was a solid, balsa wood bodyboard a friend made for me in Ecuador. In my ignorance I used a leash and tore up both rotator cuffs when the leash was in front like a bodyboard, and destroyed both knees when I switched the leash to my ankle like a surfboard. I now have replacement knees. I'm 76 and usually surf everyday. Cheers, mate.
 Love the article. Was my first time on your site.
 1. Aloha Jimmy! That's why I've never had a Paipo with a leash. I've borrowed a few boogie boards over the years tho and I cannot stand being leashed on to something that floats so much. Sounds like you were really charging the big waves though! Mahalos for the stories. Be safe and stay salty!

Explain in basic terms how to execute managed code. | Eklavya Online
Explain in basic terms how to execute managed code.
Executing code is an essential function of any developer, but knowledge of executing managed code is specific to the.NET Framework. Your answer should explain how to execute code that runs inside the common language runtime environment the framework provides.
Additionally, whenever an interviewer asks you to explain something in "basic terms," it's important to pay attention to the language you use to make it as clear as possible. These types of questions are often asked when the position requires the candidate to be both very technical and also a good communicator who can explain their work to a broad audience. In some organizations, a lead developer may be responsible for reporting progress on an application to stakeholders. During these exchanges, they should be able to break down their work without using technical jargon or overly complicated language.
Example: "First, I would write the code. Then I would compile the code with a resource called a compiler. Using the compiler, I would convert the managed code into an intermediate language. The intermediate language will be targeted by the Common Language Runtime within.NET Framework and converted to native code that can then be executed inside the framework.

You are working as SQL Server developer. You are asked to provide sample random data from dbo.Customer table. You might asked to provide random 100 rows or some percent of total data from table. What query you will use to provide required output?
In previous post, we learnt how to get top n rows from table. We can either provide row count or percent of records we want to get from a table by using TOP in our select query.
We can use the same Top clause but as we are asked to provide the random records, we need to sort them randomly first. We can use newid() function in order by clause to sort them randomly.
Let's create dbo.Customer table with some sample data.
Create table dbo.Customer
 (Id int,
 FName VARCHAR(50),
 LName VARCHAR(50),
 CountryShortName CHAR(2))
insert into dbo.Customer
Values (
1) use NewID ( ) in Order by to get random records
Let's say if we are interested to get 3 random records from dbo.Customer table, we can use below query.
Select top 3 * From dbo.Customer
order by NEWID()
How to get Random records from SQL Server Table - SQL Server / TSQL Tutorial
you can also use percent if you like as shown below
Select top 30 percent * From dbo.Customer
order by NEWID()
How to get random records from SQL Server table by using Top Percent with NewID() - SQL Server / TSQL Tutorial
As per Microsoft Books Online "TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM returns an approximate percentage of rows and generates a random value for each physical 8-KB page in the table. Based on the random value for a page and the percentage specified in the query, a page is either included in the sample or excluded. Each page that is included returns all rows in the sample result set".
From here you can understand that if you have small table with few pages, you might not want to use TableSample as it will include or exclude the entire page. With few records in table, you might want to use method 1 and for large tables you can use TableSample.
If I would run below query on my dbo.Customer table, Sometime I will get no records and when get the records, it will return all the records as they are placed on single page.
Select * From dbo.Customer tablesample (30 percent)
You can also use Rows you want with table sample as shown below. The rows returned can vary. you can limit them by using top n in select query.
Select * From dbo.Customer tablesample (2 rows)
When I executed above query on dbo.Customer table with total of 6 rows. It either returned me no rows or all six of them.
If you want to limit, you can use below query. Once again, I will suggest to use TableSample with big table where you have data on multiple data pages.
Select top 2 * From dbo.Customer tablesample (2 rows)

The main cause of solder cracks
The solder cracks of MLCC will not only occur in the manufacturing process such as the soldering process, but also will occur under severe use conditions after being launched on the market. The main reasons are as follows.
(1) Thermal shock and temperature cycling cause thermal fatigue
In an environment with repeated temperature changes of high and low temperatures, thermal stress is applied to the solder joints due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between MLCC and PCB. In addition, in the welding process, this situation can also occur due to imperfect temperature management.
(2) Lead-free solder
The lead-free solder used for environmental protection purposes is hard and fragile. Compared with the conventional eutectic solder, solder cracks are more likely to occur, so special attention is required.
Applications and substrates that require special attention in solder crack countermeasures
The main causes of solder cracks are thermal shock, thermal fatigue caused by temperature cycling, and the use of hard and brittle lead-free solder.
Therefore, special attention should be paid to the packaging around high-temperature heat-generating parts such as automobile engine compartments in environments where rapid heating (rapid) or rapid cooling (rapid cooling) may occur, such as rapid changes in peripheral temperature (thermal shock).
In addition, products installed in environments where the temperature changes repeatedly, such as outdoors, such as solar power generation, wind power generation, base stations, and other infrastructures, require attention to countermeasures against solder cracks due to their long maintenance cycles.
Summary of MLCC solder crack countermeasures
When stress is applied to the junction between the capacitor and the substrate, "solder cracks" may occur, which may cause components to fall off and open circuit failures.
Equipment exposed to thermal shocks and temperature cycles such as automobile engine compartments or equipment with other heat sources; implementation of maintenance-free infrastructure; hard and brittle lead-free solder joints require special attention.

What is a Pseudolite?
A pseudolite (or pseudo-satellite) is any device that performs a specific task that would otherwise require a satellite. So, for example, a dedicated transmitter might be deployed to extend the reach of a GNSS to areas where the satellite signals are either blocked or jammed, and there has been considerable success with deployment of pseudolites to extend GPS coverage indoors. These are relatively simple devices that only transmit the coarse acquisition code.
Pseudolites are also used to simulate future GNSS satellites in a real-world environment as well as for robotic guidance in space exploration.
A single-channel GNSS simulator (or signal generator) can be used as a pseudolite, particularly in the research and development arena. However, care needs to be taken when operating powerful transmitters within GNSS bands. Clearly, highly sensitive GNSS receivers designed to capture minute signals from distant satellites will not react well to high-power transmissions on their receiving frequencies.

Edit Article
Know someone you really don't like? Bored and out of practical jokes? Really want to tick someone off? This guide shows you through the easy steps of making a sleeping person an angry person.
 1. 1
 Get some speakers and put them right outside of someone's door.
 2. 2
 Plug them in to the nearest wall socket but do not turn them on.
 3. 3
 Take a laptop with "1812 Overture" on it (an MP3 player or iPod will work great too, but a laptop is preferred because it can get insanely loud and it is rather easy to get to the part of 1812 you want). Open your media player of choice. Go to the really loud part of 1812 near the end with the cannons. Stop your music player right before that part.
 - Plug the speakers into your laptop.
 - Turn your music player volume to maximum.
 - Turn your computer volume to maximum.
 - Turn your speaker volume to maximum.
 - Turn on your speakers.
 - Turn on the music and run like heck.
 4. 4
 Making a sleeping person an angry person should not just be limited to the indoors! If you have speakers that are powered off batteries, you can do all this on camping trips or anyplace outdoors where someone is sleeping.
 - Have a good laugh afterwards!
 - If you want to cherish this memory forever, have a friend stand over your shoulder and record the whole incident with a sound-recording video camera. Then, put the video on one of your favorite video-uploading sites!
To make it look like you didn't do this prank, try to get in your bed and "wake up" the same time as everyone else! Then there's an even slighter chance of getting caught! (and it makes everyone confused, a double prank!)
 - Getting to the loud part of "1812 Overture" can sometimes be hard, but be patient! It will be worth it in the end.
 - While "1812 Overture" is a great song to use for this, many other songs can replace it. Heavy rock is preferred for most, but if you know someone has an extremely strong dislike for a certain type of music, use that music! Classical-crossover music from artists like Jackie Evancho will work great on some people, while Heavy Rock or Metal will work great for other people.
 - Again, sleeping people who get woken up by "1812 Overture" will more than likely try to beat you up, so it would be best to wear sneakers and run as soon as you hit play.
 - It is not advisable to try making a sleeping person an angry person.
 - Make sure that the sleeping person does not suffer from any heart problems. If you give this sleeping person a heart attack, severe consequences will most likely follow.
 - Remember that if you have the speakers loud enough, you will probably wake up more than one person. And they'll all want to break your stuff.
 - Sleeping people who get randomly woken up by loud music are very angry! You will likely get beat up by them after they wake up. If they do not after they have been woken up, they will most likely get you up the same way in the near future.
 - If you do manage to escape the angry person, they will more than likely destroy anything you leave behind, including but not limited to: your laptop/MP3 player, speakers, video camera, and extension cord. Try to take these things with you when running away.
 - Loud noises can be a danger to your ears. Try to wear earplugs when making a sleeping person an angry person.
 - And if worse comes to worse, point toward innocent bystander.
Things You'll Need
 - Loud computer speakers
 - A laptop or MP3 player
 - (optional) An extension cord
 - (optional) A video camera with sound recording abilities
 - (optional) Sneakers
 - Sleeping person that you're mad at

Searching for how to repair a bow in Minecraft?
Well, you end up in the right place!
Minecraft is a trendy and addictive game with lots of adventures and happenings. When you start playing Minecraft, you may think that the weapons and armors are of no use, but you will realize their importance as you go ahead.
The Bow is one of the crucial weapons that can break a lot of time, and people usually think, why does this happen and how to fix this? We will give the answers to all of your questions in this article.
Why the Bow Breaks?
Many people find it frustrating and start wondering why the Bow breaks in the middle of the game? The reason is that each item in the Minecraft game has a specific HitPoint, and when you keep using that weapon, it keeps on going down and losing its health. This is the reason why the bow breaks. You need to craft a new one or repair it to make it work.
If you've been playing the game for a while, you must be aware that Minecraft has two types of bows. The first one is a Normal Bow with regular abilities, and the other is called Enchanted Bow, which comes with more extraordinary powers and capabilities. You can break both of these bows with excessive use, so you need to know how to repair these.
Now, we will explain how to repair a bow in Minecraft.
How to Repair a Bow in Minecraft Using Anvil
To use this trick, you will need an Anvil in your Inventory. If you don't have an anvil, you can also craft your Anvil by following some simple steps given below:
How to Craft an Anvil:
- You will need at least 4 Iron Ingots and 3 Iron Squares from your Stock Box to create your Anvil.
- By using these items, you can craft a decent anvil that will help you in many other things as well.
After Arranging an Anvil:
To repair your Bow using an anvil, follow these simple steps
- From your Minecraft inventory, open the Anvil.
- Put the Bow in the first slot and the Bow repairing material in the second slot.
- Wait for a while now, and get your fixed Bow from the Anvil.
How to Repair a Bow in Minecraft Using Crafting Table
If you don't want to use an anvil for your bow repair, you can use this method to help you repair your Minecraft bow.
You can get the job done by using a crafting table better and more efficiently. But, first of all, you should know how to create a crafting table.
How to Create a Crafting Table:
- Press E to open your Inventory Screen.
- You must have at least four woodblocks for this purpose.
- In the crafting section, place the woodblocks 2×2. You will see the crafting table on the right side; save it.
After Creating the Crafting Table:
If you want to follow the above method, here are some simple and easy steps:
- Open your Crafting Table.
- On the table, place two bows side by side.
- Wait for these bows to make a third bow.
- That's it! Now you have your Bow.
Some Restrictions of Using the Crafting Table Method to Repair Bow
The crafting table will require two objects of the same type. Here you are giving two bows to get a strengthened bow that has full stats or health.
The crafting table method does not work for Enchanted bows. If you place two enchanted bows on that table, it will still make an ordinary resultant bow and not an enchanted one.
It is important to note that the crafting table is not primarily used for repairing items. However, there is another method that you can use to repair your Bow. We just used a trick here, so make sure you use this method as a last resort.
How to Repair a Bow in Minecraft Using Grindstone
Grindstone is also an essential element in Minecraft. Like an anvil and crafting table, a grindstone can also be used to repair a bow.
First of all, you should know how to craft a grindstone.
How to Craft a Grindstone:
To craft a grindstone in Minecraft, the ingredients you will need are two oak plants, two sticks, and a stone slab. You can continue with the following steps to craft a grindstone once you have all the material.
- Open a 3×3 grid crafting table.
- Put the materials on a table.
- You can see the grindstone on the right side of the table.
- Now that you have the grindstone take and drag that into your Inventory.
After Crafting the Grindstone:
Once you have crafted the grindstone, you can use the following steps to repair your Bow:
- Through the Inventory, open your grindstone.
- Put one Bow in the top slot and another bow in the bottom slot.
- You'll see the Bow on the right.
Minecraft is a very addictive and never-ending adventurous game, but it can be confusing and tricky. We have written this article to answer your questions and help you explore more of this game. We hope this article was helpful for you in finding out how to repair a bow in Minecraft. The best method is using the Anvil, which also helps with enchanted bows. The other two ways are relatively less effective as they do not repair magical bows but can be used as a last option.
Control the truth, Control the people The power of the in the anvil of power under the rug. The principal in the dark

Quick Read: Using Worked examples to support novice learners
10 October 2019
Worked examples are a tool commonly used in a range of subjects including Maths & Science to support novice learners. By studying worked examples alongside the completion of traditional practice problems, learners are exposed to the problem solving process as well as frequently applied techniques.
A well constructed worked example:
- Helps reduce extraneous cognitive load on learners
- Aids learners in assimilating new knowledge into their existing understanding
- Is especially useful for novices during the early stages of learning a concept
- Highlights common steps taken when solving problems
As learners become more capable these benefits reduce and worked examples can begin to hinder learners. As with many types of scaffolding and support, worked examples should be faded out as needed.


Clyde Windfarm
Clyde is the largest wind farm in the UK and CDTS were contracted by Blackwells to hydroseed over 1 million m2 of special moorland grasses.
Hydroseeding was used to restore the soil disturbed by the installation of the turbinesand the areas adjacent to the access tracks. Due to the environmentally sensitive nature of the site, a site specific seed mix was formulated based on the local species found in the vicinity of the wind farm. The mix contained Heathers, Bilberries and moorland grasses like Cotton Grass.
CDTS carried out the hydroseeding using their largest hydroseeder a 6000lt, self propelled, four wheel drive unit, which was ideally suited to the conditions due to its ability to manoeuvre around site safely and hydroseed up to 30,000m2 per day. This contract has been successfully completed.

When you enter a URL in the Chrome Omnibar, that URL will be saved in the browser history and will show up when you type a similar query next time. This means that, if you have entered a wrong URL, that URL will be persistent and will always show up when you type a similar query. This can be rather annoying, and deleting the browser history doesn't clear it from the omnibar.
Here is a quick way to delete a URL from the Chrome omnibar.
Type the query in the omnibar and wait for the suggestion to show up. Use the down arrow key to select the wrong URL and press "Shift + Del" (In Mac, use "Fn + Shift + Del"). This will immediately remove the item from the omnibar.
1. This trick only applies to URL. You won't be able to remove search term with the "Shift + Del" key.
2. This trick applies to Firefox as well, except that you just need to press "Delete" instead of "Shift + Delete".

Sure, Jessie! The potential for a rubber plant to be poisonous depends upon which kind of plant it is. The term 'rubber plant' is used to represent a variety of different plants. This may be where your conflicting information comes from.
Certain rubber plants do have some toxic potential, depending upon the genus and species. For example, the Japanese rubber plant (Crassula arborescens) can potentially produce vomiting, depression and a loss of coordination. The ingestion of the rubber tree (Ficus elastica) and variegated rubber plant (Ficus honduras) can result in moderate gastrointestinal tract irritation. The baby or american rubber plant (Peperomia obutsifolia), along with many others of the genus Peperomia, is not considered to be toxic?although it can cause some mild stomach upset.

This is a wooden puzzle. The two parts lock together and you give it to a friend, asking him to unlock and separate the two parts. A friend in Germany made this one. When he handed it to me to solve, I could not until he showed me the secret. This Instructable will not only show how the puzzle is solved, but will also show how you can make these to give as gifts, especially at Christmas.
I have learned through a link by Make! Magazine that this is called a Duallock Cross Puzzle and it was invented by Nobuyuki Yoshigahara.
Step 1: How the parts appear separated
Here you see the two halves of the puzzle separated. Each half has a center notch and a hole below it. Internally, there are two holes in each with a piece of dowel pin that can move freely in each hole. The dowel pins are each a bit longer than the center notch. The center notch is the width of the wood's thickness on the parts. I will use some 3/4 inch clear pine.

A variance may be granted by the Board of Adjustment upon an affirmative finding that all of the following conditions exist:
1. The requested variance arises from conditions that are unique to the subject property, that are not ordinarily found in the same zoning district, and that are not a result of the owner's intentional action.
2. The granting of the permit for the variance will not adversely affect the rights of adjacent property owners or residents.
3. The strict application of the applicable standards will constitute an unnecessary physical hardship (not economic hardship) because the property cannot be used for an otherwise allowed use without coming into conflict with applicable site development standards.
4. The variance desired will not adversely affect the public health, safety or general welfare.
5. The variance is the minimum variance that will overcome the hardship.


Sheep on Romney Marsh
The original Romney Marsh sheep were developed on low lying land in Kent and Sussex, adjoining the English Channel. The area was, and still is, exposed and isolated, so that a hardy breed of sheep was produced requiring the minimum of attention.
The breed expanded over the rest of the South East of England and became known as Kent Sheep. It then spread all over the world and the name Romney came into general use. The vast sheep industries of New Zealand and many other countries had their origin in the Romney sheep. For this reason, it is often referred to as 'the best-known sheep in the world'.
It is said that the first sheep were brought to Britain by the Phoenicians sometime between 800 and 500 BC. Certainly, the Romans brought sheep with them when they invaded Britain in 43AD but it is not clear whether they had them on Romney Marsh, as Winchester was the centre of their wool industry.
Sheep have grazed the marshes for centuries, the quality of its pastures is renowned. By 14th century England's most important commodity for internal trade and export was wool. This continued until in the 16th century when wool prices in England fell forcing traders to export more to the continent.

But in 1660 a bill was passed preventing traders from exporting. With a long sea coast facing France there had always been a history of smuggling on Romney Marsh but the introduction of the Wool Acts of 1660 & 1699 led to an increase, especially on Romney Marshes. Incidents of smuggling continued to escalate in the 18th & 19th centuries until the government made a concerted effort to suppress it.
In l939 there were some 200,000 sheep on the marsh, but during World War II the sheep were sent away to the hill farmers in Yorkshire and the numbers of sheep on the marshes were halved, arable farming increased four-fold to 15,000 acres and this trend continues with the exception of areas that are Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) or Nature Reserves.
For centuries the raising of sheep for the wool market was the most important part of the trade of Romney Marsh. The Romney (originally called Romney Marsh) is one of the oldest known sheep breeds, with its origins having been traced back more than 700 years to the 13th Century and possibly earlier.

History of the Romney Breed
 - The Romney breed became indigenous ie native to the Romney Marsh in c 13th century.
 - In the middle ages, the English woollen industry was the most important export commodity
 - The Romney was recognised as a pedigree breed in England in 1896.
 - The Romney is known as a "semi long-wool" sheep, an efficient grazier with a good return on meat and wool.
 - Dual purpose breed bred both for wool and meat and exported around the world.
 - In the late years of the 20th century the breed was considered old fashioned, pushed aside by continental breeds.
 - Re-established their place in the 21st century farming.
The Romney sheep has the highest quality of fleece on any native British breed of sheep. The fleeces have long, crimped staples which are easy to spin and soft enough to use in the production of clothing.

The Romney Breed
Romney sheep are a hardy and adaptable English lowland breed, being a familiar site on their indigenous areas of the Romney Marsh and lowlands of the south east coast of Kent and Sussex, England. They are a dual purpose breed, bred for both their wool and meat.
The geographic and climatic conditions on Romney Marsh led to the development of specific characteristics in the breed. These traits include black hooves resistant to footrot, resistance to internal parasites, excellent fertility and milking/mothering ability, fleeces that withstand high rainfall and a constitution that tolerates harsh, wet conditions.
Romney was developed from the native European white-faced, long-tailed sheep and took its name from the low-lying Romney Marsh area. By 1800 it was recognised as "Romney Marsh" or "Kent" and the breed's quality improved with Leicester blood. It was recognised as a pedigree breed in 1896.
Romney Marsh sheep have white faces and a heavy fleece, and being big framed sheep they are a dual-purpose breed, providing excellent meat as well as wool. While the meat is renowned for its flavour, the fleece uniquely combines several important traits - being lustrous and hanging in separate locks. High yielding and easily spun, the wool clip from the pure-bred Romney flock is sought for many commercial products, ranging from sweaters to carpets. The fleece is also especially attractive to handspinners.
Romney Sheep and Lambs
Romney Sheep and their lambs
Flocks on Romney Marsh were many times larger than those in other parts of Kent and in 1700 there were an estimated 160,000 sheep on the Marsh. Local men were employed to tend these flocks. These men became known as Lookers and are distinguished from shepherds by the fact that Lookers cared for sheep of more than one owner, whereas shepherds were employed by a single owner. The Lookers lived in the villages and had to travel some distance to tend the sheep. This necessitated the construction of sheephouses, known as Lookers' Huts.
Romney Wool
Romney Wool is a natural cream colour, semi-lustrous with a long staple, often used in knitting yarns, etc. The Axminster carpet company in Devon use Romney wool in their wool carpets.
Lanolin is a yellow waxy substance found in the sheep fleece. Lanolin's role in nature is to protect wool and skin against the ravages of climate and the environment. As a natural occurring fat in wool, it keeps the hands of sheep shearers and wool sorters so exceptionally soft. This makes lanolin a simple and natural product for Wool Fat Soap, first produced in the early 1930's. The soap, and related products, has many beneficial attributes, being it is gentle, rich and soothing and helps keep skin hydrated.
What Makes Wool So Special?
Wool is becoming a more popular choice as it is a renewable resource and a natural product. In Jan 2010 the Prince of Wales convened the 'Campaign for Wool' which aims to educate the world about the versatility and sustainability of wool. Wool represents only 5% of the Worlds Fibre production.
Woollen Industry
Romney provided the foundation for the English woollen industry, which was the most important export commodity in the Middle Ages. Their long, dense fleece was highly prized, leading to widespread wool smuggling from the 14th to the early 19th Centuries. Live sheep were exported to other continents, enabling Romney to become the world's second most economically important sheep breed and to be known as a dual purpose breed—bred for wool and meat.
Romney sheep were exported internationally early in the 19th Century when a shipment was sent to New Zealand. Today the breed is distributed throughout England, New Zealand, Australia, Patagonia, Canada, Brazil, Portugal, Falkland Islands and the United States. Hence the claim, "The sun never sets on Romney sheep." Romneys have made an easy transition to New Zealand, where they became quickly established and still remain the predominant breed.

Local Farmers
Paul and Kristina Boulden are 6th generation family farmers on the Romney Marsh. They run a mixed farm consisting of arable farming and a suckler herd as well as their Romney flock. The sheep graze on clover-rich pasture and this plays an important role in their arable rotation.They have approximately 1000 ewes lambing in March/April.
In 2008 Paul and Kristina decided to diversify and set up Romney Marsh Wools, with the vision 'To Capture the spirit of Romney Marsh by creating an opportunity to take home a part of history, with our quality natural wool and to pass it on from generation to generation.'

United States Merchant Marine
The United States Merchant Marine refers to either United States civilian mariners or to a fleet of U.S. civilian and federally owned merchant vessels. These fleets are managed by either the government or private sector, and engage in commerce or transportation of goods and services in and out of the navigable waters of the United States. The Merchant Marine is responsible for transporting cargo and passengers during peacetime. In times of war, they can be an auxiliary to the United States Navy, and can be called upon to deliver military personnel and materiel for the military. Merchant Marine Officers may also be designated as Military Officers by the Department of Defense. This is commonly achieved by commissioning unlimited tonnage Merchant Marine Officers as Strategic Sealift Officers in the Naval Reserves.
As of 2006, the United States merchant fleet had 465 privately owned ships of 1,000 or more gross register tons. Nearly 800 American-owned ships are flagged in other nations.
The federal government maintains fleets of merchant ships via organizations such as Military Sealift Command and the National Defense Reserve Fleet, which is managed by the United States Maritime Administration. In 2004, the federal government employed approximately 5% of all American water transportation workers.

Use this tag for questions about retraction of filament.
Retraction of filament is the opposite of filament extrusion. Slicer software allows for specification of a retraction length, which in effect is a negative length. Retraction of filament can be required to minimize the oozing of the hotend during travel moves. This is explained by the relaxation of the pressure build-up in the hotend.


Swiss Company Turns Your Loved One's Ashes Into A Beautiful Diamond
November 8, 2014
When your time on Earth is over, how will you be honored? A new trend has people skipping out on the traditional burial funeral for something a little more glamorous - turning into a diamond.
turning ashes of loved ones into diamonds
A finished diamond. The color comes from the amount of boron in the ashes / algordanza
Swiss company, Algordanza, provides a service where the cremated remains of a loved one convert into a diamond. The diamond can then be used in jewelry or kept in a collection.
"A Memorial Diamond symbolizes love, loyalty and respect for loved ones who have passed away," Algordanza says on their website. "The process of creating a diamond funeral has generated a completely new way of saying goodbye to our beloved deceased - one that is modern, full of promise and filled with peace."
So how do they do it?
First, the carbon is extracted from the cremated remains. The human body is about 18% carbon, and about 2% of that remains after the cremation process. This is the carbon Algodanza uses to make their diamonds, and filters out of the other materials via a chemical process. The carbon is heated and turned into graphite, the material found in pencils.
The graphite is heated to 2,700 degrees Fahrenheit and subjected to as many as 870,000 pounds of pressure per square inch. The result of this process, which mimics a process deep in the Earth, is a diamond that ranges from white to dark blue in color. The color variation depends on the amount of Boron in the ashes.

The diamond is then cut and polished.

Turning a loved one's ashes into a diamond is not a cheap process, but it's comparable with the cost of an average funeral. This process will set you back about $4,500.

Overcoming obstacles to parkland acquisition: an analysis of the City of Toronto's parkland acquisition tools, why they have failed the downtown, and what can be done about it
thesisposted on 25.05.2021, 07:15 by Sophie Lewis Knowles
Since the mid-1900s, municipal parkland acquisition in North America has occurred largely through the development process. This paper asks how well Toronto's existing acquisition tools and policies are meeting the needs of present and future populations in the downtown. Research was conducted through a review of the literature, policy and budgetary analysis, and twelve key informant interviews with municipal parks staff, councillors, developers, a planning consultant, and community advocates. The research finds that there are many factors that have impeded parkland acquisition in the downtown, including lack of a strong planning framework, historical disbursal of cash-in-lieu funds city-wide, governance challenges, underfunding of existing operations, limited land supply, a perception of land as overpriced, inability to purchase at market price and in a timely fashion, and limited knowledge of existing tools. The paper acknowledges what has worked and concludes with recommendations to improve the City's parkland acquisition and development framework.

How to guarantee the quality of insulating glass production
 - Author:fanyumaoyi
 - Source:chinamirrormanufacturer.com
 - Release on:2016-12-06
Insulating glass manufacturers to improve the quality of the insulating glass, in addition to the advanced equipment of insulating glass to control the process, efficient production, if we ignore the following safeguards to produce qualified insulated glass to get market recognition is out of the question. So in the process of production of hollow glass, 5 control measures strictly.
 (1) reduce production time
 Desiccant minimizing contact with the atmosphere of the time, reducing the adsorption loss and give the desiccant has a high adsorption capacity.
 (2) strictly controlled production environment temperature
 Main influence capacity and residual adsorption capacity of the production environment.
 (3) select the appropriate aluminium insulation
 The pore gas seams should be small, reducing the water absorption of zeolite during the operation.
 (4) select suitable desiccant
 To select the desiccant adsorption rate is relatively high and persistent.
 (5) water through the spread of polymers
 Rely mainly on select sealant of low permeability coefficients, determine a reasonable thickness of seal, reducing the temperature difference between inside and outside of the insulated glass (that is controlled in a certain temperature range temperature range of production and not so great).
 These measures through choice of materials, processing, control of all aspects of the environment, control of insulating glass, the quality will be greatly.
 ProfessionalInsulating glassThe production equipment, strict management, scientific process and quality control measures for the production of insulating glass, is a prerequisite for improving the quality of insulating glass.

Ok so I have two lists in C#
List attributes = new List();
List songs = new List();
one is of strings and and one is of a attribute object that i created..very simple
class Attribute
 public string size { get; set; }
 public string link { get; set; }
 public string name { get; set; }
 public Attribute(){}
 public Attribute(string s, string l, string n)
 size = s;
 link = l;
 name = n;
I now have to compare to see what songs are not in the attributes name so for example
songs.Add("yet another");
Attribute a = new Attribute("500", "_URL_", "something" );
I want a way to return "another" and "yet another" because they are not in the attributes list name
so for pseudocode
difference = songs - attributes.names

This is the way to find all the songs which aren't included in attributes names:
var result = songs
 .Where(!attributes.Select(a => a.name).ToList().Contains(song));
The answer using Except is also perfect and probably more efficient.
EDIT: This sintax has one advantage if you're using it in LINQ to SQL: it translates into a NOT IN SQL predicate. Except is not translated to anything in SQL. So, in that context, all the records would be recovered from the database and excepted on the app side. Is much less efficiente.

It's worth pointing out that the answers posted here will return a list of songs not present in attributes.names, but it won't give you a list of attributes.names not present in songs.
While this is what the OP wanted, the title may be a little misleading, especially if (like me) you came here looking for a way to check whether the contents of two lists differ. If this is what you want, you can use the following:-
var differences = new HashSet(songs);
differences.SymmetricExceptWith(attributes.Select(a => a.name));
if (differences.Any())
 // The lists differ.

The Wayfinder can be shown in either landscape or portrait mode. In most cases, it will automatically detect the orientation of the device and adapt the Wayfinder to the current orientation. There are a couple of devices where the orientation needs to be set in order to let GoBright now the correct orientation.
Change the device orientation
In order to change the settings on the device, we'll need to exit kiosk mode using the three magic swipe movements and the pincode within the Wayfinder display profile. When the settings on the device can be accessed navigate through the following menus and options:
- Go to the Settings
- Select the Display option
Depending on the device there are a couple of different options here, we'll cover the most general ones:
- When device is rotated:
This defaults to 'Rotate the contents of the screen' but can be set to the current orientation using the 'Stay in current orientation option'
This defaults to 'Auto' / 'Automatically' / 'Auto-detect' or something that is similar to one of these. The other options are 'landscape' / 'portrait' / 'landscape-flipped' / 'portrait-flipped' which can be set to the correct orientation.
There are likely other options which are named differently than the ones here, consult the manual of the device if you need further support with the orientation.

text: Summary. We use a multipath (multistate) model to describe data with multiple end points. Statistical inference based on the intermediate end point is challenging because of the problems of nonidentifiability and dependent censoring. We study nonparametric estimation for the path probability and the sojourn time distributions between the states. The methodology proposed can be applied to analyse cure models which account for the competing risk of death. Asymptotic properties of the estimators proposed are derived. Simulation shows that the methods proposed have good finite sample performance. The methodology is applied to two data sets.

Yes this is possible.
You will need to write some code that follows along an algorithm of your choice, using variables to store values.
The algorithm could look perform actions like this:
 - define File-Size-Range-Groups ( < 1kb, < 100 kb, etc )
 - Sum the number of files in each File-Size-Range-Group
 - Sum the individual file sizes for a File-Size-Range-Group total
 - Output the sum value of files in a File-Size-Range-Group
 - Output the average (total file size sum for File-Size-Range-Group / number of files in File-Size-Range-Group)
