Two years ago Providence followed a national trend and became one of the first urban areas in Rhode Island to legalize raising small backyard chicken flocks. Residents for the first time were able to raise up to six chickens and have the benefit of eating fresh eggs. Recently, Cranston's Mayor Allan Fung vetoed an ordinance similar to Providence's that would allow residents to raise small backyard flocks, posing the question: should backyard chickens be legal in urban areas? What are the benefits and concerns about backyard chickens?
There are several good reasons why you should look into raising your very own backyard chickens.
- Eggs from backyard chickens are healthier.
- Eggs from backyard chickens are tastier.
- Chickens are natural defenders against insects: they will protect your yards!
- You know where you're getting your eggs from!
- Chicken compost (high in nitrogen) is awesome for your yard and garden!
- Children can learn the responsibility of raising chickens
- They're fun to raise, learn about and even watch in the yard!
With these reasons and more, there is enough evidence to see why many urban areas are hopping on the trend of making it legal to raise backyard chickens. Now on to the concerns of raising chickens not only in urban areas but in general.
- Noise (If you have a rooster you know how this feels.)
- Damage to soil or garden
These can be pretty big concerns, and I didn't even list why Cranston vetoed the ordinance. Cranston has had a rat problem over the last couple of years, and many residents are concerned that with more backyard chickens, the bigger the rat population could get. Three major factors found that residents and the mayor thought would be deal-breakers were: rats, noise and property values.
Noise is an obvious complaint of neighborhoods and this would only happen if owners raise roosters. The last argument is property values of homes and whether or not it deters buyers from owning a home next to one that raises chickens. Warren and Barrington both passed ordinances recently allowing owners to raise chickens. Many other house markets in Rhode Island allow the ownership of chickens. As stated in the Providence Business Journal, "The fact that chickens are legal in many of the state's hottest property markets would seem to point to flocks now being considered desirable by potential buyers."
So what do you think? Should they be legal? Please comment and let us know what you think of the issue!

Studies in the area of freshwater research reported from University of Wisconsin
April 9th, 2010
According to recent research from the United States, "We quantified standing stocks of large wood in 12 streams along the north shore of Lake Superior in northeastern Minnesota during June - September 2007. All large pieces of wood (> 0.1 m in diameter for a portion > 1 m in length, n = 963) were measured."
"Standing stocks of large wood ranged from 0.01 to 0.48 pieces/m, lower than most published values from around the world. Wood inputs to streams in northeastern Minnesota may be less than elsewhere due to differences in tree species, environmental conditions, and past forest management practices," wrote E.C. Merten and colleagues, University of...

Canopy Layer
Canopy Layer
The Canopy Layer is the second highest layer of the rainforest.
This is where most of the trees grow to, at around 30-45 metres high.
As most trees grow to this height in the rainforest, the leaves tend to overlap each other and the branches tend to wind around each other.
As the leaves of the trees in the Canopy Layer are so thick and big, and overlap each other so much, they block a lot of sunlight going down below.
However, these trees themselves get lots of sunlight.
This layer sees lots of fruit and nuts growing on them, which means lots of rainforest animals live her.

A new resolution on energy-efficiency regulation of ships was adopted at the 65th session of the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO),...
The charted position of a wreck buoy will usually be offset from the actual geographic position so that the wreck and buoy symbols do not coincide. Only on the largest scale chart will the actual and charted positions of both wreck and buoy be the same. Where they might overlap, it is the wreck symbol which occupies the exact charted position and the buoy symbol which is offset.
Wreck buoys are required to be placed by the owner of the wreck, but they may be placed by the Coast Guard if the owner is unable to comply with this requirement. In general, privately placed aids are not as reliable as Coast Guard aids.
Sunken wrecks are sometimes moved away from their buoys by storms, currents, freshets, or other causes. Just as shoals may shift away from the buoys placed to mark them, wrecks may shift away from wreck buoys.

MPD Emergency Response Plan
In emergency situations that affect public safety, law enforcement will be among the first responding agencies. In the District of Columbia, residents, businesses and visitors depend on the MPD to ensure the protection of life and property. The MPD responds to all threats to public safety occurring within the city, while simultaneously providing basic police services in neighborhoods. It is essential that the MPD be prepared to maximize resources and capabilities, to ensure that critical tasks are undertaken efficiently and effectively when a major threat to public safety exists.
The MPD Emergency Response Plan is the standard used to set an appropriate threat Response Level. A response level is required during threat conditions, such as terrorist activity, civil disturbance, natural catastrophe, severe weather or other emergencies that affect the safety and security of the visitors to and residents of the District of Columbia.
The MPD Response Level is designed to provide for the staffing, assignment, and deployment of MPDC members while coordinating activities with DC agencies, neighboring jurisdictions and federal agencies. It is determined by the Chief of Police or his/her designee and is based on present and known threats.
There are five color-coded threat designation levels and they are defined as follows:
Response Level RED
A major threat to public safety has occurred
Response Level ORANGE
Information/Intelligence indicating that a major threat to public safety is imminent
Response Level YELLOW
A significant possibility of a major threat to public safety
Response Level BLUE
A general risk to public safety with no credible threats to specific targets
Response Level GREEN
No credible risk of a threat to public safety, routine security is implemented, normal departmental activities continue

Audio Ducking is a powerful new feature in PowerDirector 16. Audio Ducking can automatically optimize the audio mix in videos that contain dialogue or narration by fading backing music tracks so that speech can be clearly heard.
Step 1: Import your Video and Background Music
Drag and drop your video and background music onto the timeline. They should appear on two different tracks.
Step 2: Using the Audio Ducking Tool
Select the video or audio clip on the timeline that you want to have a lower volume and click on Tools > Audio Ducking. In this case we have selected the background music track.
In the Audio Ducking window, you can customize the following controls:
- Sensitivity: sets the level of dialogue/narration detection in other clips.
- Ducking level: sets how much you want to reduce the volume in the selected clip.
- Fade-out duration: sets the duration for lowering the volume in the selected clip.
- Fade-in duration: sets the duration for restoring the audio level once the dialogue/narration in the other clip ends.
Select the Apply to all clips on the same track option if you want the audio ducking applied to all the clips in your video project timeline. Once finished click OK to apply.
On your timeline you should now be able to see that the audio levels of the background music track are lower when there is narration on the main video clip.

Isogeometric collocation for implicit dynamics of three-dimensional beams undergoing finite motions
Journal article, Peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
Original versionComputer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering. 2019, 356 548-570. 10.1016/j.cma.2019.07.013
We propose a novel approach to the implicit dynamics of shear-deformable geometrically exact beams, based on the isogeometric collocation method combined with the Newmark time integration scheme extended to the rotation group SO(3). The proposed formulation is fully consistent with the underlying geometric structure of the configuration manifold. The method is highly efficient, stable, and does not suffer from any singularity problem due to the (material) incremental rotation vector employed to describe the evolution of finite rotations. Consistent linearization of the governing equations, variables initialization and update procedures are the most critical issues which are discussed in detail in the paper. Numerical applications involving very large motions and different boundary conditions demonstrate the capabilities of the method and reveal the critical role that the high-order approximation in space may have in improving the accuracy of the solution.

Any client can download packages from a repository that is configured to serve packages over HTTP. In some cases, you need to restrict access. One way to restrict access to the repository is to run the depot server behind an SSL-enabled Apache instance that supports client certificates.
Using SSL provides the following benefits:
Ensures encrypted transfer of package data between the client and the server
Enables you to grant access to repositories based on the certificate the client presents to the server
To set up a secure repository server, you must create a custom certificate chain:
Create a certificate authority (CA), which is the head of the certificate chain.
Issue certificates from this CA to the clients that are allowed to access the repository.
One copy of the CA is stored on the repository server. Whenever a client presents a certificate to the server, that client certificate is verified against the CA on the server to determine whether to grant access.
This section describes the following steps to create the certificate chain and configure the Apache front end to verify client certificates:
Create a keystore
Create a certificate authority for client certificates
Add SSL configuration to the Apache configuration file
Create a self-signed server certificate authority
Create a PKCS12 keystore

Dear visitor,
About EGGER> Forestry> Forestry News> Road Infrastructure
What you need to think about when planning road infrastructure?
Road infrastructure is a huge capital cost
The decision to construct a road, whether large or small, within your forest requires very careful consideration. In most cases, road infrastructure represents the single largest capital cost outside of purchasing the forest or land.
In light of this, timing of when to start and how to phase a road building programme can require thorough planning in order to help both minimise the degree of financial exposure the forest owner will face as well as maximising the potential income from establishing infrastructure which should allow suitable access for operations such as establishment, tending and harvesting.
The design of the road needs careful thought. Access to allow for the uplift of harvested timber will require a road with a suitable firm construction to carry a maximum gross vehicle weight of 44 tonnes. Allowing for enough width to turn near the location of roadside timber and also allowing enough width on corners along the road are key to minimising the distance lorries need to run on as well as ensuring all road users remain safe when travelling. Some knowledge of the underlying geology, the soil structure and the location of available stone are essential.
Consideration also needs to be given to minimising the environmental impact of a new road. Factors such as managing watercourses, managing habitat and minimising the impact on local communities need to be given thought.
Over recent years, there has been a move towards lowering the impact caused by timber lorries within the forest through the use of systems such as Central Tyre Inflation (CTI) which allows the driver to reduce tyre pressure when travelling off the public road. Specific 'in-forest' haulage systems can also be used, which can consist of a simple 4-wheel drive tractor and trailer or something more specific, such as a purpose built unit capable of moving large quantities of timber out to a landing area close to the public road. Whilst there is usually an additional cost associated with running these systems, it can usually be offset by reducing the cost of ongoing road maintenance.

Hey, this is a combination of the GSON parser as well as the json specification.
If you leave the 'Strings' absent from the JSON payload, then they will resolve to 'null' on the Client, however this will not work with 'Integers', with will default to 0. It looks like GSON treats all numbers as 'int's, which cannot be null.
As a workaround, if you need null values for numbers, you can either add a boolean flag to indicate if a value has been set 'doorsSet: false', or you can treat all numbers as Strings and then do a 'Integer.valueOf(...)' to get the numerical value.

Hello Edward, thank you for your explanation.
My solution is ugly : if(myBean.getField() == 0) myBean.setField(null);
I'm using the Kinvey console to update values in the data store and I want to represent "null" values.
For instance, if I have a "Car" collection with 2 columns : "doors" (integer) and "name" (string).
The json could be :
In the Java bean, we have :
> private Integer doors;
> private String name;
After loading data :
> "doors" is an Integer equal to 0
> "name" is a String equal to null
Could you tell me what is the best way to manage null values using the Kinvey console?

Decrement by 1, return previous
Atomically decrements by one the current value and returns the previous value of the counter. It is possible that multiple concurrent client requests may receive the same previous value. This occurs since only the decrementing part of the logic is atomic, the retrieval of the value before it is decremented is not.
Future Backendless.counters.getAndDecrement(String counterName);
IAtomic counter = Backendless.counters.of(String counterName);
Future counter.getAndDecrement();
Argument Description
counterName name of the counter to decrement.
Function callback = (counterValue) => print("previous counter value is - $counterValue");
Backendless.counters.getAndDecrement("my counter").then(callback);

Target visualisation is main goal of the practical radargram recovering procedure. There are a lot of visualisation algorithms (2D-filtering. migration. FFT etc.) that is mainly based on final images processing. Existent methods are not frequently allowed to get adequate results due to considerably complex properties of the surrounding target environment.
In this work an approach to target visualisation based on phased-array effect in antennas with transient excitation is proposed and discussed. This reconstruction method uses initial information about properties of the used for radargram getting antennas. Preliminary results of this approach, its applicability and sensitivity are presented.
An Approach of Target Visualisation
In contrast to antennas behaviour with sinusoidal or narrow frequency band excitation such one with transient excitation has some differences. As a matter of fact transient radiation of an antenna depends on its geometry. If pulse generator impedance and input antenna impedance is matched in the antenna is observed so-called double-passing excitation mode. hi this case temporary structure of the antenna radiation field consists of three impulses sequence. Note that time delays between neighbouring impulses are associated to antenna length and the second impulse polarity is inverse one to the first and third pulses.
Let's consider monopole linear antenna with impulse excitation in Cartesian coordinates as it is shown in Fig. 1. Assume that the antenna length is L and a target coordinates is (X0. Y0). Distances from target to excitation point and antenna edges are Rl and R2. accordingly.

text: Learning from the data stored in a database is an important function increasingly available in relational engines. Methods using lower precision input data are of special interest given their overall higher efficiency but, in databases, these methods have a hidden cost: the quantization of the real value into a smaller number is an expensive step. To address the issue, in this paper we present MLWeaving, a data structure and hardware acceleration technique intended to speed up learning of generalized linear models in databases. ML-Weaving provides a compact, in-memory representation enabling the retrieval of data at any level of precision. MLWeaving also takes advantage of the increasing availability of FPGA-based accelerators to provide a highly efficient implementation of stochastic gradient descent. The solution adopted in MLWeaving is more efficient than existing designs in terms of space (since it can process any resolution on the same design) and resources (via the use of bit-serial multipliers). MLWeaving also enables the runtime tuning of precision, instead of a fixed precision level during the training. We illustrate this using a simple, dynamic precision schedule. Experimental results show MLWeaving achieves up to16 performance improvement over low-precision CPU implementations of first-order methods.


ThingM Project Feature: BlinkM in The MEAL Project
BlinkM in The MEAL Project Creator: Corinna Sherman
For the distracted diner who wants a subtle reminder to assess how full he or she is while eating, the MEAL dish is a weight-sensing dish that illuminates with colored light to give the user a sense of how much food has been eaten since the meal began. Normal dishware provides no feedback, placing the burden of self-monitoring entirely on the individual. Mealtime distractions pose less of an issue, however, when responsive MEAL dishes help people mind their own sense of satiety with subtle, pleasant cues via ambient light.
How It Works:
1. Plug the Arduino into wall outlet and press the power button on the base unit to register the minimum weight of the empty dish.
2. Fill the dish with food. 3 RGB LEDs that are located inside the base unit will pulse red when the minimum amount of weight has been added to enable subsequent monitoring.
3. Press the calibration button on the base unit to register the maximum weight.
4. Each of the dish's three legs sits upon a load sensor. The sensors connect to the Arduino, which monitors the total weight sensed over time. As food is eaten from the dish, the Arduino translates the sensed weight change into a hue shift in the LEDs from red (a color shown to stimulate appetite) to blue (a color shown to promote relaxation).

GEPF: Who receives your pension benefits?
Feb 1, 2021
GEPF beneficiary nomination formOne of the questions I receive from most retirement fund members is about who has a claim to their retirement funds if they die in service.
As a member of the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) one of the most important documents you need to keep up to date is your beneficiary nomination form. This will inform the trustees as to who your legal and financial dependants are, as well as their contact details. It will make it easier for the fund to make the relevant payments, ensuring your family receives the urgent financial support they need.
It is important to note that while your nomination form can assist the trustees in identifying and contacting beneficiaries, the trustees are still obliged to identify all legal or financial dependants and ensure that the death benefit is distributed equitably amongst the dependants.
The trustees will do an investigation into the dependence of any surviving legal dependants. Legal dependants include a spouse, parents, children, etc. However, anyone who can prove that they were financially dependent on the deceased has a rightful claim on some of the proceeds. This could include a child from another relationship, a parent, or even another partner who was financially supported by the member.
Once the trustees have identified all the dependants, they distribute the benefits according to the level of dependence. For example, if a member of the fund was married and had one adult child who was employed, then the spouse would receive the full benefit.
However, if the child was still living at home, or studying, and therefore dependent on the deceased, then they could have a claim. This does assume that there were no other dependants. Minor children from other marriages or relationships would also be considered in the dependency assessment.
Benefits are based on how long the member was in service at the time of death. If a member dies with less than ten years' service, the lump sum which will be distributed is based on either the member's final salary (average of last two years per definition) or the value of the member's pension in the fund at that time, whichever is greater.
If a member passes away with more than ten years' service, a lump sum (death-in-service gratuity) is paid to beneficiaries and a monthly pension is paid to the spouse. If the member was a single parent, the minor children receive a child's pension.
What does a beneficiary nomination form do?
A nomination form is completed while you are still alive and can only be changed by the member of the fund. It is used to identify potential legal/financial dependants, or other beneficiaries if you do not have any dependants.
If you are not married and do not have children or any other dependants, your gratuity will still be paid out to anyone you choose – including your parents or siblings.
The nomination form does not, however, supersede the responsibly of the trustees to provide for financial dependants.
If, for example, the nominated beneficiaries are not financially dependent on the deceased and there are other financial dependants not included on the form, the nominated beneficiaries may receive no money. Only in cases where there are no legal or financial dependants do the trustees distribute death benefits in line with the beneficiary nomination.
Make sure that the total percentage provided for each beneficiary adds up to 100%. You cannot, for example, nominate three beneficiaries giving them each 50%.
How does one prove financial dependence?
In the case of a spouse and minor children, financial dependency is assumed ‒ no further proof is needed.
Financial dependence can also be proved by a divorce order or by supplying bank statements proving that the deceased paid for certain expenses.
Tuition fees, bond repayments, medical aid and any other expenses that were paid by the deceased can be used to prove financial dependence.
It is important to understand who does not qualify as a financial dependant as this can become a contested issue, especially if there were relationships outside the marriage.
A financial/legal dependant includes:
 - A spouse. In the case of customary marriage, if there are two valid spouses, both of them will get an equal share of both gratuity and annuity.
 - A child under the age of 18, or a child who is still receiving financial support such as tuition.
 - A parent who is receiving financial support.
A financial dependant does not include:
 - An adult child who is not receiving financial support from the member.
 - A former spouse or partner who has not received any financial support and financial support is not stipulated in the divorce agreement.
If there are no financial dependants and the member has specified the beneficiary on the nomination form, then payment would be made.
Scenario 1: A member has adult children from a previous relationship who are not receiving financial support. The member is married and has young children with the current partner.
Likely outcome: The trustees will only consider the spouse and minor children as beneficiaries for distribution.
Scenario 2: A member has adult children from a previous relationship and is paying their tuition. The member is married and has young children with the current partner.
Likely outcome: The trustees will distribute the retirement fund among the spouse, young children and adult children in relation to level of dependency. As each case is treated individually, it depends on how many adult children there are. Adult children are usually given a percentage not exceeding 20% if still studying. The age of children is taken into consideration when percentages are determined. The gratuity will be shared amongst all dependants and the spouse will also receive a monthly pension.
Scenario 3: The member has adult children from a previous relationship who are not receiving financial support. The member is not legally married but living with a long-term partner.
Likely outcome: The long-term partner needs to apply to be recognised as the life partner of the deceased in order to be recognised. If the life partner's application is approved, he/she will receive a share of the gratuity and the monthly pension. In a case where the life partner is not approved but the partner can prove financial dependency on the deceased, the gratuity will be shared among all qualifying dependants, however the partner will not receive the spousal pension.
Where can members get the nomination form?
The nomination form can be obtained from GPAA regional offices, your HR department, or the GEPF website.
Forms can be submitted at the various regional offices, to your HR department, or can be emailed to
Register your spouse or life partner
As your spouse or life partner is entitled to an annuity when you die, it is important that you register him/her by providing your human resources department with either a certified copy of your marriage certificate, customary union certificate, lobola agreement, civil union certificate, or a certificate confirming your marriage in any other religion.

 1. Good day,
 My dad worked for the city of Cape Town for over 22 years and as such, passed away a few days ago.
 I am 20 years old (turning 21 this year) and was his eldest child from his first (and only) marriage until my mom and him divorced and he also had a partner whom he has 2 children with of which are also younger than 18.
 My question is that my dad's family were never in his life and now that he has passed, they're showing up claiming that I am not due anything even though by word of mouth, it was said that I was nominated to get 50% of whatevers my dad was to be paid out but I am not sure how to go about verifying this?
 Ps. In the same sentence, I was advised that because I hurriedly got married about 6 month ago (customary marriage, not legally) I am not entitled to be paid out anything. Can you advise on this or whom it is I would need to query this info with?
 Any help would be much appreciated.
 - Firstly my condolences on the loss your father. The City of Cape Town fund does not fall under GEPF but the pension fund act rules would apply. This means the trustees of the fund will determine who receives the benefits based on financial and legal dependency. Children under the age of 18 would definitely fall under financial and legal dependency. It would depend on the rules of the fund whether you would qualify (some include children under 21 especially if still studying). The mother of the younger children would possibly have a claim either for the support of the children or if she was a financial dependent in her own right. The best thing to do is to submit your details and provide any evidence if he ever supported you or your mother financially (there may be a provision in the divorce agreement). I do not think whether or not you are married would make a big difference unless it is used to prove that you had no financial dependency on him. I would recommend you just deal directly with the fund and ignore the other relatives – they can can submit their own claims.
 2. I am divorced. I have a minor child [age 17]. I am in a long term relationship currently. I have made my fiancé one of the beneficiaries but was told that he will not be guaranteed his share of my pension because my child has to be looked after first, but yet we are financially dependent of each other and he assist financially to support my child because his biological father does not contribute enough. If I die he will not be able to financially support himself or continue to look after my son, although he is not the biological father. We also were told that the biological father will have all the right to my pension which will go into a trust. So how will my fiancé be able

Mom's Viral Photo Shows That Breast Milk Comes In Many Colors
While the milk that you pour over your cereal may always be bright white, breastmilk isn't quite so monochromatic. Depending on when it comes out, it can come in a variety of colors — not all of them are variations of white. This mom's full spectrum photo shows the many shades of breast milk because your "liquid gold" doesn't always look the same — and that's okay!
Nursing moms may not see enough of their milk to know what color it is, aside from that lovely bit that leaks out of the opposite side or comes out as spit-up post-feeding. But if you were to pump instead of just breastfeeding, you would see that milk from various stages of pumping, as well as times of day, affect the color of your milk. Diet, medication, and a number of other factors can influence the color of breast milk, according to Very Well Family, and there are a lot of different shades of "normal."
In order to raise awareness of what these colors can look like, a breastfeeding mom and the voice behind the popular Facebook and Instagram page, One Ounce at a Time, Elisabeth Anderson-Sierra, appropriately posted a photo of three bottles of her milk on July 4. These bottles all came from one pumping session, she told Cafe Mom, and were red, white, and blue respectively.
The red milk is often referred to as "strawberry milk," and as Anderson-Sierra explained it is tinted red by blood in the milk. As reported, the red tinge can come from a clog being dislodged and rupturing a blood vessel — as it was in Anderson-Sierra's case — a cracked nipple, or "rusty pipe syndrome," which is when ducts and milk supply cells grow and stretch after your baby is born. Anderson-Sierra told Romper that she "wanted to share that most likely, any color variation experienced is normal, though having blood in your milk (strawberry milk) is alarming, it is still safe to feed to your baby." However, moms may want to seek medical care to find out the source of the blood if they are concerned. She wrote:
If it is nipple damage, seek treatment options. If it's within the breast tissue, use gentle massage and a cold or warm compress depending on if you need to reduce swelling or get milk to release from ducts. Keep your milk ducts clear and empty! Blood can coagulate and cause additional clogs, leading to more serious problems.

Amy Barron Smolinski, MA, ALC, CLC Executive Director, Mom2Mom Global — a national nonprofit organization dedicated to support, education, and advocacy for breastfeeding military families — told Romper that pinkish or brownish tinged milk is not generally a concern, as long as it comes out of the breast that color:
The only time pink milk is a medical concern is if it comes out of the breast looking like "normal" — white, yellow, creamy, or thin bluish — and changes to a bright pink or magenta color over time after being expressed. Sometimes this is seen in bottles of expressed milk, sometimes the parents will notice the burp rags are stained with pink after baby has spit up on them. This can indicate the presence of Serratia marascens, an infectious bacteria that requires antibiotics.
The white milk shown in the photo is less surprising, and a bit of blood seems plausible for red milk, but where in the world does blue breast milk come from? Well, Anderson-Sierra has an answer for that too. She explained in her post that this blue milk is "foremilk" or the first milk to come out during a feeding session. It "can have a blue tint to it as it is lacking in the heavier fat content of hindmilk," which is the milk that comes at the end, according to her post. Additionally, she wrote that if you consume "...foods with dyes like Gatorade or colored frosting you may see the dyes affecting the color of your milk."
Smolinski told Romper that there is another possible explanation for "bluish" milk: higher water content. "[This] is common when the baby needs more hydration, such as hot weather, or desert conditions," she says. "It's usually thinner and watery." Smolinski added that "it's important for parents to realize that even though this milk has lower fat content than more yellowish or creamy milk, it is still very beneficial for the baby." Like Anderson-Sierra, Smolinski assured Romper that slightly colored milk is usually "completely within the spectrum of normal." But, if a parent has any concerns, she urges them to contact a trained lactation professional.
Along with the colors that Anderson-Sierra included in her post, Very Well Family reported that breast milk can be tinted white, yellow, clear, blue, green, pink, orange, brown, and black — wow, talk about variety. Not all of the colors of breastmilk are completely normal, though. For example, black breastmilk is the result of a particular antibiotic that should not be taken while breastfeeding, according to Very Well Family. But Anderson-Sierra is urging moms not to panic over milk that looks a little out of the ordinary. Don't throw it out just because of a little bit of red color. After all, "Breast milk is truly liquid gold and we work hard for it. A labor of love, blood, sweat, and tears."

Farm, sell & earn on CropBytes like in the real world.
CropBytes Game Economy Explained.
CropBytes - crypto economy explained
CropBytes is a farming simulation game with a virtual economy. Players use real cryptocurrencies for money in the CropBytes economy.
Economic activities like producing, buying & selling help the economy grow. Every asset in the game is essential to the economy, they have real value and are tangled with economic activities.
The game replicates the real world by being volatile & transitional. Players create economic trends & by playing out their strategies in the game.
Image for post
"CropBytes is a real-life simulation in a virtual world that uses cryptocurrency"
Here is an example of how it works:
The animals who consume 'Corn Feed' are more in numbers. They collectively require 1000 Corn Feed' a day, while daily 'Carrot Feed' required in the economy is 300.
Carrot Crops' take 5 days to grow, while 'Corn Crops' take 1 day. Only one crop can grow at a time on a piece of 'Crop Land'.
Players are free to produce crops and fruits of their choice. To grow their business, players will ideally grow crops that have higher demand. Though its hard to say what other farmers are growing.
Let's consider a situation where 'Carrot Feed' has a higher demand in the market, What will happen?
 - The price of 'Carrot Feed' will rise.
 - Players will stop growing corn and grow carrots instead.
Image for post
80–90% of players are growing carrot crops now. Players with multiple lands are growing both.
The demand for 'Corn Feed' will be the same as before, but supply will not be adequate & cause the price to rise.
Image for post
This cycle is present in the real world, It is recreated in the CropBytes economy all by itself!
CropBytes is the most advanced simulation game with carefully crafted economics to give life like experiences in the virtual world, and tangible profits in the real world.
As more players join, the economy grows, activity increases, and so does the real-world value of the game. Enabling players to make more profits for time and money invested in the game.
The future of gaming is here.

The first public park within the city limits of Seattle was Denny Park - a gift to the city by David T. Denny in 1884.
In 1887, the Board of Park Commissioners was established to oversee development of the Seattle park system.
Seattle Parks Commissioners hired the famed Olmsted Brothers landscape
architecture firm in 1903 to design a comprehensive system of parks
and boulevards for the city. The Olmsted Plan for Seattles parks
spurred the early development of the Seattle park system and has been
the basis of our modern day park system.
Much of Seattle Park history was documented by Donald N. Sherwood (_PHONE_).

e-Bench® provides a comprehensive invoice verification and reconciliation system to ensure that all invoices are accurate and a client is not either over or under charged.
Many meters are still being read manually. As with any process or application where there is human input, so there is the opportunity for error.
e-Bench® is configured to check all invoice data to verify if the information on the invoice can be regarded as accurate. It does this in two ways:
 - Checks to ensure the correct tariffs have been applied, i.e. cents per kWh and other levies such as taxes.
 - Checks to ensure if the consumption levels are within the bounds of what might be expected for that particular month. e-Bench® achieves this by comparing the same month of the previous year and then seeing if the consumption levels are within a certain percentage of that earlier period. Please note this percentage can be varied by the user from 5% to 100% or by an absolute amount.
Utility Bill Auditing | Electricity Invoice Reconciliation
If problems are detected, e-Bench® sends exception reports to whoever is designated as the recipient of these alerts (in most cases CarbonEES), so they can be investigated. The advantage of this intelligent processing is that errors are picked up as they occur and can be managed accordingly.

This statue was found in the throne room of the palace/temple at Hazor. It shattered into hundreds of fragments in the fire that destroyed the city. Though nothing like it has come to light anywhere in the Near East, its style bears a clear link to Syrian and Hittite art. The basin suggests it was used in a religious rite.
The figure wears a pendant in the shape of a crescent with an eight-rayed star, symbols of a prominent deity. However, there is no way of telling whether it represents a god or a ruler.

Family Presence During Resuscitation: Extending Ethical Norms from Pediatrics to Adults
Guest Post: Christine Vincent and Zohar Lederman
Paper: Family presence during resuscitation: extending ethical norms from paediatrics to adults
Family Presence During Resuscitation is an important ethical issue for discussion within the medical community. Currently, family presence is more commonly accepted in paediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) than adult CPR. However, we argue that this fact is not morally justified and that the case for family presence during adult CPR is indeed morally stronger. In our paper we provide an ethical argument for accepting both family presence during adult CPR and pediatric CPR.
Arguments commonly used by ethicists and medical professionals to justify family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) in the emergency room revolve around scarce evidence of harm to patient outcome, strong evidence demonstrating benefits to relatives, and respect for patient's wishes. However, we argue that these three main reasons all seem to be stronger in the case of adult patients than pediatric ones.
Evidence demonstrating no negative effects of FPDR on patient outcome has mainly been found for adult patients. Furthermore, research showing benefits to relatives from being present is much stronger for adult patients as well. Lastly, the wishes and rights of adults are commonly much more respected compared to those of children, both in healthcare and generally. There is no reason why this should not extend to FPDR as well, given that the majority of patients prefer to go through traumatic life events surrounded by friends and family.
In our conclusion, we mention how family presence during any patient's resuscitation is a huge step from where society was decades ago.

I have 2 layers, one representing streets, and one representing pipes. The pipe layer has a street field that I want it to be automatically filled (I want the pipe to show the street that it's on) I tried performing a spatial join based on 'closest' but I encountered the following problem: many pipes never intersect the center of the streets they're on (they are usually paralel), and, at the spatial join, those respective pipes don't get the needed data from the street they go along but from the ones that are perpendicular (cause they intersect the pipes, so they have one point that is closest). I would like some advice. Thanks a lot.

Tudor I've face a similar problem and created a programatic tool that would:
 1. Shorten my street centerline. Here I would take it from.4 to.6 for example (in this case I would consider only the dashes)
 After shortening
 2. I would buffer it for a small ammout, let's say 10% of the original street lenght. Imagine that you are buffering only the dashes in the schematic "drawing above".
 3. Try to intersect it with pipes.
You can repeat 2 and three until you've found a certain number of pipes. The idea for shortening the center line is to eliminate the cases where you other perpendicular lines that you do not want.
Check a less ugly scheme:
enter image description here
Another approach is to just buffer, intersect and compare the angles. You can safely set a threshold of what "parallel" is. You will never have straight and parallel lines in this cases (some will be parallel, but that depends on digitizing). You take only the pipes that have similar angles to your centerline.

I'll see if I can find some code to help you. This method improves confidence of the results, it's not the most pratical, but it works great on regular grids. The more irregular the street network the less confidence you can have with it. – George Jul 25 '11 at 14:29

Mrs. Dixon's Home Page » Treasure Key
In Dixon Den we have special keys that allow students to bring in a "treasure" to share with the class. Much like show and tell, the first grader with the key stands up in front of the class to tell all about the treasure he/she has brought to share. The holder of the key should be able to tell why the item is a treasure to him/her and be able to tell important information about the treasure. If your child brings home the key, please help him/her to choose something interesting to share with our class. Some good ideas include: a few pictures or a souvenir from a recent trip, part of a collection, pictures of a pet, a favorite book, a special or unusual gift, or something from nature. Help your first grader put the key and the treasure in his/her backpack that evening so nothing will be forgotten the next morning. In order to share, a child must bring both the treasure and the key. Dixon Den first graders look forward to their turn with the key! It gives them an opportunity to practice speaking in front of a group and it makes them feels special!

Guide to Dealing with Tree Roots
Tree roots make up the integral foundation of all trees. Without them, trees would not grow straight up or withstand strong winds and poor weather. Roots keep trees anchored, creating a vast underground network of support.
Roots are essential in many ways, but when they become overgrown, they can get in the way, cause a safety hazard, and make it hard to keep up with your landscaping.
If you have overgrown or exposed tree roots on your Calgary, Alberta, property, it's possible to remove them without harming the tree. However, it takes careful technique and timing to avoid damaging the tree or even killing it altogether.
Take control of your tree roots! In this article, we're sharing everything you need to know about the risks of overgrown roots, what causes them, and the various removal methods.
Risks of Overgrown Tree Roots
In Calgary, overgrown tree roots can do more harm than good. While large, exposed roots surrounding a tree aren't a danger in and of themselves, their proximity to other structures and high-traffic areas can make them a nuisance or even a danger.
Some of the most pressing risks of overgrown roots include:
- Roots growing under foundation – These will grow thicker and can eventually damage the foundation, compromising the integrity of the building.
- Roots causing sidewalk/driveway cracking – Roots close to high traffic areas can ruin stonework, make unsightly cracks, and pose a risk for walkers or even cars.
- Roots as a safety hazard – Roots that grow above the ground can be a significant tripping hazard. They're often hard to see because of their color, and leaves open cover them up, making them even more dangerous.
- Roots hindering lawncare and landscaping – Thick roots that grow above ground can make it impossible to mow the lawn or landscape the area surrounding a tree.
However, not all roots come with these same risks. There are two main types of roots.
Types of Roots
The two kinds of roots you'll find underground are feeder roots and structural roots. Structural roots stabilize the tree and anchor it to its spot on the ground. They are usually sturdier and thicker. Feeder roots transfer nutrients and moisture from the soil back to the tree.
You can have exposed feeder roots and structural roots, but the most common kind of root to see exposed in Calgary, AB, is the structural root. They are typically larger and thicker, and they can grow out wide to provide a stable base for the tree.
What Causes Exposed Roots?
Exposed roots, also known as surface rooting, can be caused by a few different things.
- Poor soil quality – If the soil is not moist and compact, it's easier for thick tree roots to break through to the surface, especially in sandy, clay-based, or loose soil.
- Lack of oxygen – A lack of oxygen in the soil can cause tree roots to move toward the surface to capture more oxygen needed to keep the tree alive.
- Weather – Lots of rain, wind, or runoff can erode the soil and area around the tree, causing roots to become exposed.
- Lack of space – If a tree is planted where it does not have enough room to grow completely, like next to sidewalks, buildings, or streets, the roots may deflect to the surface to continue growing.
- High traffic – An area that's walked or trampled on a lot, the soil can become naturally eroded or packed down, exposing the roots.
Determining the cause of your overgrown or exposed roots can help determine the best way to remove them.
Removing Tree Roots
There are a few ways to remove tree roots from your Calgary property. The most common is to physically remove the trees by digging or cutting them out—or a combination of the two. The other option is treating the roots with chemicals to kill them.
Digging and Cutting Out Tree Roots
If you want to handle the job yourself without involving any harsh chemicals, you're looking at a major job of digging and cutting out the roots. It's the fastest yet most labor-intensive option you have.
To start digging out the roots, you're going to need a sharp spade and a root saw.
Find the root you want to cut, and trace it back to the base where it is growing from. Know that the larger the base, the more likely you are to damage the tree if you cut it. If it's somewhat small or smaller than the others, there shouldn't be any real problem.
Then, find the spot to start digging and cutting. This should be about three to five times the length of the tree's diameter. Mark this spot with spray paint so that you don't lose it.
Start digging out the soil around the root with the spade to expose as much root as possible. Pull out anything loose.
Then, using a root saw, cut the intact roots, cutting as far from the root ball as possible.
Then, use your spade or another tool to lift the roots out. Continue cutting any smaller roots in the area until you can remove the root ball.
Removing Roots with Chemicals
If you're not one for all the manual labor, there's a less intensive way to remove the tree roots using chemicals. This method is only recommended if you are trying to do away with stubborn roots left behind after cutting down a tree or removing the stump.
The first chemical you can use is glyphosate herbicide. Mix this with water in a 50/50 solution and saturate the outer ring of the stump with the solution, avoiding plants or nearby grass. Two weeks after, the roots should be dying off.
You can also use rock salt if you have more patience. It takes a few months to work, and a few applications are necessary to do it right. First, drill into the stump in several places and create holes a few inches deep. Drill holes in any exposed roots as well.
Then, fill these holes with rock salt, add water to fill, and repeat a few times each month. Eventually, this will suck out all water from the roots, causing them to die.
There's always a risk when removing tree roots in Calgary. If the tree is still living and you want to keep it that way, you should proceed with caution and only opt for the manual method of removing roots to keep the rest of the tree intact and safe from harm.
However, if you want to stay away from manual labor and have time to spare, a chemical option may better suit you. Or reach out to our team for a free estimate for stump removal services.

Using Expert Knowledge for Test Linking
Linking and equating procedures are used to make the results of different test forms comparable. In the cases where no assumption of random equivalent groups can be made some form of linking design is used. In practice the amount of data available to link the two tests is often very limited due to logistic and security reasons, which affects the precision of linking procedures. This study proposes to enhance the quality of linking procedures based on sparse data by using Bayesian methods which combine the information in the linking data with background information captured in informative prior distributions. We propose two methods for the elicitation of prior knowledge about the difference in difficulty of two tests from subject-matter experts and explain how these results can be used in the specification of priors. To illustrate the proposed methods and evaluate the quality of linking with and without informative priors, an empirical example of linking primary school mathematics tests is presented. The results suggest that informative priors can increase the precision of linking without decreasing the accuracy.

The present study evaluated the effects of climate variability on maize (Zea mays L.) yield in Sri Lanka at different spatial scales. Biophysical data from the Department of Agriculture (DOA) in Sri Lanka for six major maize-growing districts (Ampara, Anuradhapura, Badulla, Hambantota, Moneragala, and Kurunegala) from 1990 to 2010 were analyzed. Simple linear regression models were fitted to observed climate data and detrended maize yield to identify significant correlations. The correlation between first differences of maize yield and climate (r) was further investigated at 0.50° grid scale using interpolated climate data. After 2003, significantly positive (p < 0.01) yield trends varied from 154 kg ha–1 yr–1 to 360 kg ha–1 yr–1. The correlations between maize yield and climate reported that five out of six districts were significant at 10% level. Rainfall had a consistent significant (p < 0.10) positive impact on maize yield in Anuradhapura, Hambantota, and Moneragala, where seasonal total rainfall together with high temperature ("hot-dry") are the key limitations. Further, the seasonal mean temperature had a negative impact on maize yield in Moneragala ("hot-dry"), the only district that showed high temperatures. Badulla district ("cold-dry") reported a significant (r = 0.38) positive correlation with mean seasonal temperature, indicating higher potential toward increasing temperatures. Each 1°C rise in seasonal mean temperature reduced maize yield by about 5% from 1990 to 2010. Overall, there was a reasonable correlation between district maize yield and seasonal climate in most of the districts within the maize belt of Sri Lanka.

Purpose: The use of medical scribes has emerged as a strategy to increase clinic workflow efficiency and reduce physician burnout. While oncology clinics may be ideally suited to scribe integration because of the high burden of documentation, oncology-specific scribe research has been limited. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of scribe integration on clinic workflow efficiency and physician satisfaction and quality of life in outpatient oncology clinics.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, concurrent qualitative and quantitative analysis of patient visit durations and survey data for 129 attending physicians affiliated with an academic hospital's cancer center between January 2017 and January 2019. Thirty-three physicians were paired with scribes in each physician's individual clinic or clinics.
Results: In terms of clinic efficiency, physicians with scribes had a 12.1% decrease in their overall average patient visit duration compared with their own time before receiving a scribe (P <.0001) and spent significantly less time completing charts at the end of the day (P =.04). Compared with their peers, oncologists with scribes showed a 10%-20% decrease in the duration of all patient visits. Scribes also contributed to patient care, as shown by 90% of physicians surveyed who strongly agreed that they spent less time at the computer and more time with patients; 100% of physicians surveyed strongly agreed that scribes improved their quality of life.
Conclusion: The integration of medical scribes into oncology clinics across several oncologic disciplines has the potential to reduce burnout through increasing physician satisfaction and quality of life, improving patient care, and streamlining clinic workflow.


1805 Sydney's first commercial dairy
Dr John Harris
Sydney's first commercial dairy was built by Dr John Harris on his Ultimo estate, now an inner suburb. Harris was a naval surgeon and magistrate who became one of the colony's largest landowners. Ultimo's Harris Street is named after him.
In 1793, Harris bought the estate of James Ruse, Australia's first ex-convict farmer, at Parramatta. Over following years he acquired more land, including estates at Ultimo, Drummoyne and Bathurst. By 1800 he owned 315 acres (127 ha) of land and had acquired 431 head of stock.
The Ultimo estate was subdivided in 1859. Until then it remained as farmland, in possession of the Harris family.

Batch File Rename with Windows PowerShell
Microsoft included a batch rename feature in the latest version of Windows allowing you to select multiple files, right click on one and select rename. All of the selected files will be renamed with the name you provided and a number. This functionality works well for basic files but does not provide any flexibility in exactly how the files are numbered and also does not allow the file extension to be changed.
Windows PowerShell, which is included in Windows starting with Vista and 2008 Server and available for XP, provides the raw tools to allow you to perform batch file renames. The trick is to pipe the output of one command into another command allowing you to connect the functionality to produce a useful outcome.
The two PowerShell commands needed for batch file renaming are dir (which is an alias for get-childitem) and rename-item.
To get started I suggest copying all the files you need to rename to a separate directory. Then, open up Windows PowerShell and navigate to the directory with the CD command.
Depending on how you want to rename the files there are a few different techniques:
Changing the File Extension of all.jpeg files to.jpg
Dir *.jpeg | rename-item -newname { $ -replace ".jpeg",".jpg" }
In the above example the $_ represents each item passed to the rename-item command via the pipe | from the dir command.
Appending a File Extension
Dir | rename-item -newname { $_.Name +".jpg" }
File Rename with Customizable Increasing Number
Dir *.jpg | ForEach-Object -begin { $count=1 } -process { rename-item $_ -NewName "image$count.jpg"; $count++ }
In the example we needed to use an additional command known as foreach-object that allows you to set a variable (our counter) before looping through each file in the directory and then do an action for each item. The result of the above example are files named image1.jpg, image2.jpg and so on.

Mental handicaps, self-sufficient, economic burden, potential contributors to society, employment opportunity, social service structures
Mental handicaps affect a suprisingly large part of the community. If the handicapped cannot make themselves self-sufficient, they become a great economic burden whereas they may have the potential of being contributors to society. This paper will examine aspects of the law relating to employment opportunity and certain social service structures, and question the extent to which they further a handicapped person's goal of fulfilling his employment potential. Field research was done only in the Halifax area, but the analysis is pertinent across Canada because the statutory provisions, social services and social assistance structures found in Halifax are on the whole similar to those found across Canada.


Torque Specifications for Rocker Arm Bolts for a 3.1 Liter Chevy V-6
by Anne Davis
The 3.1-liter engine is a member of GM's 60-degree V6-engine family. GM, the parent company of Chevrolet, began producing these engines in 1980. The manufacturer produced its first 3.1-liter in 1993.
Rocker Arm
itstillruns article image
An engine's rocker arm is a reciprocating lever that transfers radial movement to open the poppet valve, a valve responsible for opening and closing the intake and exhaust ports in the engine's cylinder heads. The rotating lobes of the camshaft raise and lower one end of the rocker arm while the other end acts upon the poppet valve stem.
Torque refers to the force required to rotate an object, in this case a nut or a bolt, around an axis or pivot. You can think of it as a twist.
Torque Specifications
For 3.1-liter engines built between 1995 and 1997, the rocker arm bolts require two steps to reach 7.42 foot-pounds of torque in order to attach to the cylinder head. For later engines, these same bolts should receive 14 foot-pounds of torque to join properly.

Topic: How to pronounce "Arduino"? (Read 51690 times) previous topic - next topic
This is how you can pronounce the board's name in proper Italian, download the sound file in the format that better suits you:
"Add a bit of jazz and swing between the 'Ah' and the 'du' - then say the 'ino' as in "ee no""
Cool, i think that is the better pronunciation for the word ARDUINO.
its made up of two old italian words(latin based) it means "hard-work" and "small" like the English word "arduous" and ino means small...
According to a recent article from wired magazine (in italian) _URL_
The board was named after a pub in the surroundings of the Interaction Design Institute, Ivrea, Tourin, Italy.
Obviously Arduino is not just a pub's name, it's a proper (not so common) noun!
Arduino is still used as a name and surname, in Italy and probably in most european countries. Infact according to a great italian site for name and surnames (in italian) _URL_ :
"It comes from the germanic name, Harduwin or Hardwin, made by hardu-, "strong" and wini, "friend", spread by the tribal population of the Franks in the IXth century, consolidated thanks to the prestige of few saints and the Italian king Arduino d'Ivrea (_PHONE_).
The name day can be celebrated the 15th of august in memory of Saint Arduino from Rimini, died in 1009."
As of today this noun has more spread use as a surname
As you can see from the graph here _URL_
The name has even more wide spread use when meaning our lovely microcontroller, so let's take this for the first, most important, meaning of the word Arduino!

On a related note, in quite a few of Arduino project-related video clips I've watched, people pronunce "solder" as "sodder"... never heard that before, maybe it's a US thing (I'm English)...

You Brits. Always making trouble...
Well, I'm Italian and I have no difficult saying it out loud :P
Probably the best way to say it is : "Ard" - "do" - "eeno"
with "Ard" like "Hard" but without the H and "do" like the verb "to do"
I hope this make any sense to you, as I said I'm Italian not English mother tongue.
Marvin Martian
Ah yes. Well at least I'm not imagining it :)
Now don't get me started on "innernet" ;D
I just call it 'the microcontroller' or 'that, err, the arduee, oh,whatever. That board I always play with.' It is quite annoying not being able to pronounce arduino.

Bison Rib Eye Steaks - 2 Steaks 8 Oz. Each
 Bison Rib Eye Steaks - 2 Steaks 8 Oz. Each
Item# 619191919191
Regular price: $49.99
Sale price: $39.99
Availability: Usually ships the same business day
Product Description
Bison Rib Eye Steaks - 2 Steaks 8 Oz. Each Our Bison Rib Eye Steaks comes from American Bison Meat. This package includes TWO (2) Premium Center Cut Bison Rib Eye Steaks. 8 oz. Each.
Is it buffalo or bison? The American Buffalo is it not buffalo. Its closest relatives are the European Bison, or Wisent, and the Canadian Woods Bison, not the buffalo of Asia or Africa, such as the Cape Buffalo or Water Buffalo. Scientifically, the American Buffalo is named Bison and belongs to the Bovidae family of mammals, as do domestic cattle. Because our history has so ingrained in us the name "Buffalo," we still use it, although "bison" and "buffalo" are used interchangeably. *
A brief history Bison once roamed the plains in numbers so large that early explorers could not count them. Variously described as: "numbers-numberless," "the country was one black robe," and "the plains were black and appeared as if in motion."
The bison has been called the important wild animal in the development of North America. They were the center of the life of the Plains Indians, providing them with food, clothing, shelter, and much of their culture. Bison also sustained the lives of the explorers and settlers going West.

How to trigger an Azure Synapse pipeline run from C#
As part of a reporting project we've been working on recently, we needed to be able to kick off an Azure Synapse pipeline run from C# code running in an Azure Functions app. Documentation is a bit sparse in this area, so here's how to do it.
How do I do it?
 1. Add a reference to Azure.Analytics.Synapse.Artifacts. You can find the API documentation here. This provides the C# API for talking to Synapse. At the time of writing, I used the 1.0.0-preview.4 version.
 2. In your code, create a new instance of the Azure.Analytics.Synapse.Artifacts.PipelineClient class. This requires the dev endpoint for your Synapse instance, as well as your preferred means of authentication. More on this below.
 3. Assuming your pipeline needs some parameters supplying, create a Dictionary containing them.
 4. Execute PipelineClient.CreatePipelineRunAsync() method to kick off the pipeline run.
Show me the code!
 var pipelineClient = new PipelineClient(
 new Uri(""),
 new DefaultAzureCredential());
 var parameters = new Dictionary
 { "parameter1", "value1" },
 { "parameter2", "value2" },
 Response run = await pipelineClient.CreatePipelineRunAsync(
 "",
 parameters: parameters).ConfigureAwait(false);
 // The response contains the Id of the new pipeline run.
The dev endpoint you need when creating the PipelineClient can be found in the portal, and has the form
https://
Screenshot of the Azure Portal with the necessary endpoint information highlighted
How does my code authenticate to the Synapse API?
Authentication is via the Azure.Identity library, so you have the standard options. DefaultAzureCredential is probably the one you'll need - it works through a list of authentication mechanisms in order of likelihood (you can see the list here), starting with credentials stored in environment variables and ending with an interactive browser login prompt.
If like me your code is running in an Azure Functions app with a Managed Identity (and assuming you don't override it using environment variables), this means that the Managed Identity of the Functions app will be used to authenticate to the Synapse endpoint. And when running locally, it should pick up your Visual Studio or Azure CLI credentials and use those.
Either way, in order to run the pipeline, that identity will need to have been granted the Synapse Credential User role in your Synapse instance. This can be done using the "Access Control" panel in the Management area of Synapse Studio (note the warning when you grant access - it can take a few minutes for the update to take effect).

A dillybag or dilly bag is a traditional Australian Aboriginal bag, generally woven from the fibres of plant species of the Pandanusgenus.[verification needed]. It is used for a variety of food transportation and preparation purposes.
The dilly bag, otherwise known as yakou, yibali or but but bag, is a bag worn around the neck to hold food like berries, meat, fish etc. The Dilly bag is normally woven out of vines or tough dried grasses and sometimes had feather or animal fur inside the bag to stop small pieces of food falling through holes in the weave. Mainly used by women to gather food but can be used by men to help carry some tools for hunting.
Another use for the dilly bag (also named Mukurtu) was as a holder for personal or tribal artifacts. The "Dilly bag" term is also used to describe bags used by non-aboriginal Australians, for example a smaller food bag carried by swagmen along with their swags. The term is also used by Australians to describe similar bags for other purposes.
