In the photo, fruit toward the top of the cucumber plant has aborted. They are drying up from the blossom end toward the stem end of the fruit. While water shortage played a role in the abortion of these fruit, not all aborted cucumber fruit can be explained by a water shortage in the plant. Other factors such as the fruit load on the plant are also possible causes.
LETTUCE TISSUE DAMAGE
Since the leaves of the lettuce plant are the part of the plant that we eat, we don't want them to be too tough to chew. Lettuce leaves are fairly delicate and therefore can be damaged relatively easily by sudden changes in water availability and the relative humidity in the air.
When something happens to interrupt or slow the flow of water through the lettuce leaves, the cells at the outer margin of the leaf are the ones that get shorted first and most severely. As noted earlier in this article, a sudden drop in the relative humidity in the air in the greenhouse is one of the things that can lead to a shortage of water within the plant. If they collapse and die, there will be a layer of dead cells around the margin of the leaf. The cells toward the middle of the leaf survive and continue to grow. The resulting tissue is puckered and bubbled because its expansion is restricted by the surrounding dead cells.
The Bibb lettuce picture with the puckered leaves shows the type of damage that can occur from a sudden lack of water in the plant. Notice that the outer leaves of the plant are not affected. The cells in those leaves were fully expanded and mature when the stress on the plant took place. The cells in the margins of the younger leaves are the ones that collapsed and died.
When excess water builds up in the lettuce plant, the cells in the leaves at the growing point of the stem can be over-supplied, possibly causing them to burst and die. This is what has happened at the growing point of the Bibb lettuce plant having the open centre. This is called latex tip burn in lettuce. When lettuce plants start to close in over the middle of the plant, excess water is more difficult to dissipate than when the plant is more open. Latex tip burn is, therefore, more likely to occur during the later stages of lettuce growth than during the earlier stages of growth.
Latex tip burn will often take out the whole growing point of the plant. All the cells in the growing point burst, resulting in plant death. The crop is terminated if this happens because normal plant growth will no longer be possible. If the plant is left in the greenhouse to continue to grow, secondary growth will start at the buds at the lower leaves of the plant. The small secondary heads on the plants in the accompanying picture resulted from growth after the terminal bud of the plant was killed by latex tip burn.
Even if the growing point is not completely inactivated by the latex tip burn, the lettuce plant will not grow normally and should be harvested. If there are enough leaves on the plant to be useful, they can be eaten. The rest of the plant should be discarded.
HOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY CAN BE CONTROLLED
The leaf and fruit damage described above can be reduced or eliminated if the rapid changes in the relative humidity in the greenhouse can be slowed enough so the plants can adjust to the changes without tissue damage. An environmental control system capable of tracking and changing the relative humidity in the greenhouse is the ideal solution. Because such a system is relatively expensive for a small greenhouse, many hobby greenhouses have a very limited capability of tracking and modifying the relative humidity in the greenhouse.
Air exchange and heating are generally used to lower the greenhouse relative humidity. An evaporative cooler, a mist system, or a few water sprinklers can be used to increase the moisture in the greenhouse air. The control of the greenhouse relative humidity takes a secondary position to the control of temperature within the greenhouse. If the temperature in the greenhouse is high enough or even too high, heat should not be used to lower the relative humidity in the greenhouse. If the greenhouse is being heated, not much water should be evaporated to increase the greenhouse relative humidity because evaporating water takes additional heat energy. The relative humidity control system must be properly integrated with the heating and cooling systems in the greenhouse to provide the optimum environment for plant growth and development.
If you are not ready to buy a larger, more highly equipped greenhouse at this time, there are a few things you can do to minimize plant damage in the greenhouse due to rapid relative humidity changes. Generally speaking, make efforts to prevent situations that can create rapid changes. For example, on warm, sunny days do not leave the greenhouse closed up until ten o'clock in the morning. This allows excessive heat to build up. Avoid leaving the greenhouse cooling fans on after the temperature has started to drop in the greenhouse, due either to cloud cover or the onset of evening. Also, avoid leaving the wet wall on all night, which could generate excessive moisture in the form of high relative humidity, potentially causing condensation on the plants.
Last, make a point to stay aware of the environment changes in your greenhouse. The more closely in tune you are to temperature and relative humidity changes in it, the better able you will be to make the needed adjustments that will minimize plant damage.


A hard(y) look at B-1 cell development and function
Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

A small population of B cells exists in lymphoid tissues and body cavities of mice that is distinct in development, phenotype, and function from the majority (B-2) B cell population. This population, originally termed "Ly-1" and now "B-1," has received renewed interest as an innate-like B cell population of fetal-derived hematopoiesis, responsible for natural Ab production and rapid immune responses. Molecular analyses have begun to define fetal and adult hematopoiesis, while cell-fate mapping studies have revealed complex developmental origins of B-1 cells. Together the studies provide a more detailed understanding of B-1 cell regulation and function. This review outlines studies that defined B-1 cells as natural Ab-and cytokine-producing B cells of fetal origin, with a focus on work conducted by R.R. Hardy, an early pioneer and codiscoverer of B-1 cells, whose seminal contributions enhanced our understanding of this enigmatic B cell population.

The Essential Question that guided our projects' focus was:
Where do choreographers get ideas for dances?
Throughout the RW residency, students answered the essential question, "Where do choreographers get ideas for dances?" Students watched several RW professional dances in a virtual concert and many excerpts of RW previous choreography to learn about the guest artists. Students explored various ways to generate movement and create choreography. RW choreographed four unique dances stemming from diverse ideas for IFAA students. Each dance choreographed involved students contributing to the work by making artistic choices and answering additional essential questions, "What influences choice-making in creating choreography?" Students had in-depth discussions with the guest artists about, "How is a dance understood?" and listened to the artists speak of how they came up with the dance idea. Throughout creating the work, dancers worked deeply on manipulating space, time, energy to help the artists communicate the idea of the dance.
At the conclusion of the project, students responded to questions related to the identified Standards:
"I learned that really anything can be an idea for a dance. I learned that you can generate movement from a topic." —sixth-grade student
"I learned that as a dance artist, repetition can be fundamental in a dance and can help the audience connect to the choreography. I also learned that as a dance artist, having a motif is very important and will show up many times in different ways. Lastly, I learned that as a dance artist, adding surprising or unexpected movements to the choreography will make the choreography more interesting. I learned three things that will help me be college and career-ready. First, I learned that as a choreographer, your choreography should come from inspiration and inspiration can come from anywhere. Second, I learned that if you slightly soften your hinge joints you will have a wider range of motion to move around in space. Third, I learned that there are people who will inspire me and push me out of my comfort zone to do something different." —eighth-grade student
"I learned to trust the choreography and try to see the choreographer's vision." —seventh-grade student
RW teaching artists use a modern constructivist approach for students and teachers to learn about and participate in the art of dance. This residency accomplished having students participate in the Dance Artistic Processes of Creating, Performing, and Analyzing. Students learned that ideas for choreography can come from many places such as images, sounds, textures, properties of matter, personal experiences, words, colors, emotions, and from the basic elements of dance. Eight RW dance artists worked with 31 students for two weeks: 30 total hours of contact time. During the residency, IFAA was not allowed to have more than twenty people in a class, hold an assembly, so digital documentation/video sharing replaced in-person experiences. The remote residency with RW dance artists was very successful. The choreography was brought to multiple settings for the community, including performances totaling 700 in-person audience members and 500 plus virtual audience members. The arts are transformative even in a virtual setting. Embodied learning was rich through critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and imagination. RW teaching artists are trained to adapt and diversify teaching to meet all student needs across all ages.
RW is committed to furthering contemporary dance as an accessible and valued art form through performance and dance education that raises the standards, deepens the understanding, and promotes personal connections with dance. RW?s high standards were evident in RW's professionalism, preparation, and execution of teaching and learning. This residency was educational and therapeutic and afforded students a special experience with guest artists when many performances/residencies had been canceled. Having large, in-person audiences at the end of the school year performance and digital recordings, the art was shared with the greater community of West Ada School District and beyond. The formal dance concert programs included details of the artistic processes in artist statements to build audience dance literacy. My only regret is that the four arts elementary schools did not participate at all and missed the positive experience of building dance literacy. Due to the pandemic, only Idaho Fine Arts Academy (IFAA), 6-12 grade school, participated in the residency virtually. The other four K-5 arts schools decided not to participate in the residency because they did not know how the digital residency would work with students, and they were overwhelmed with remote/hybrid learning due to the pandemic. IFAA asked for permission to continue the residency without the elementary schools.

Measure 14 crowns from the ends of both lines and tie with twine to prevent
further unraveling. Unlay lines to the tie marks. Tape or heat-seal the strand
ends. Bring the lines together so that the main bodies meet and the unlayed
strands mesh; alternating a strand of one with a strand of the other.
Temporarily tape the unlayed strands of one line to the body of the other line.
Tuck one of the strands from the second line over and under a strand of the
opposite line, working against the twist. Take the unlayed strand next to the
strand just tucked and tuck it over and under the next line strand. Do the,
same with the third unlayed strand.
Make one more tuck with each strand then turn the splice around and remove the
temporary ties. Make two tucks with each of the other three-unlayed strands. Go
back and make two additional tucks with each of the six strands. If desired,
taper the splice area as shown in Step 6, page 26. Cut off all remaining ties
and clip off ends of protruding strands. Roll the splice to smooth out.
The short splice is used for end to end joining of two lines of the same
size. It is useful for repairing cut or damaged lines or joining two short

Duhaime's Law Dictionary
Quid Pro Quo Definition:
Latin: something for something.
Related Terms: Contract Law, Consideration
Some American jurists have suggested that quid pro quo stands for the consideration of a contract; that it refers to the requirement that something be exchanged, flow to each of the contracting party, for there to be a valid contract.
Viz., Ballentine's Law Dictionary:
Quid pro quo: The consideration for a contract. That which is supplied by one party in consideration of that which is supplied by the other party."
As a further example of the use of the term quid pro quo in law, consider the suggestion of Canadian author Catherine McKinnnon who describes a variety of workplace sexual harassment she calls quid pro quo harassment: job benefits onditioned on availability of sex or physical contact, refusal leading to discharge, discipline or negative recommendations for promotion.
But that phrase had long become part of American law. For example, these words of Justice Holloway of the United States Court of Appeals in Hicks v Gates Rubber:
"The gravamen of a quid pro quo sexual harassment claim is that tangible job benefits are conditioned on an employee's submission to conduct of a sexual nature and that adverse job consequences result from the employee's refusal to submit to the conduct."
 - Hicks v Gates Rubber, 833 F. 2d 1406 (1987)
 - MacKinnon, Catherine, Sexual Harassment of Working Women (Toronto: Yale University Press, 1979). Referred to in Foisy c. Bell Canada, 18 D.L.R. (4th) 222 (1984, QCSC)

Faberge eggs have become an art form in many cultures and may include precious gems, gold or silver flaking and inlays. You can make your own faberge eggs for Easter or other occasions that will last for years. Follow these instructions to learn the basics and then see how creative you can be.
Home-made Faberge Easter Eggs
Use the needle to poke a 1/16-inch hole in each end of the raw egg. You may have to practice to avoid breaking the entire egg. Gently stick the needle through the holes to break the yolk inside and make it easier to remove.
Place the egg over a bowl, and blow the whites and yolk out through the other hole until the egg is empty. Carefully rinse the egg in water.
Poke a wooden kabob skewer through the bottom hole halfway into the egg. Place a small rubber band on the skewer at the base of the egg to keep the skewer from going further inside. Stick the skewered egg in the block of Styrofoam so it will stand on its own.
Coat each blown egg shell with craft sealant. Allow it to dry completely. Paint the egg the color of your choice, and allow it to dry. Paint a second coat of the same color and let it dry. To cover the top hole on the egg, cut a small square of paper, glue it over the hole, and paint it to match the rest of the egg.
Choose an image from wrapping or craft papers to place on the faberge egg. The image should be the size of the side of the egg. Draw an oval around the image and cut out the oval shape. Make small incisions about a half inch apart around the outside of the paper oval.
Paint a layer of glue on one side of the egg. Press the picture onto the surface. Overlap the edges at the incisions to make it fit the egg best. Glue a thin line around the edge of the oval picture. Sprinkle glitter on the glue. Allow the egg to dry and shake off excess glitter.
Glue a loop of ribbon to the back of the egg for hanging. Remove the egg from the wood skewer. Cover the bottom hole with ribbon or paper.


those of other studies, it seems clear that nursing education programs should emphasize the use of social media in promoting, protecting, and restoring health, so that all nurses are aware of this potential. Indeed, as a recent systematic review found, social media networks can be used to deliver cost-effective, targeted interventions "to youth populations and hard-to-reach minority or underserved populations."40 That said, it's important that nurses be aware of any professional guidelines, organizational policies, and laws that pertain to providers' use of social media in communicating with patients. Ethical and legal considerations, notably with regard to privacy and professional nurse-patient boundaries, should inform policy development. Two useful resources are the American Nurses Association's Social Networking Principles Toolkit, which contains both free and members-only content (; and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing's free brochure, A Nurse's Guide to the Use of Social Media (
If we are to further our understanding of burn survivors' healing process, particularly with regard to social media, more research is needed, including research conducted among young adult burn survivors who don't use social media. Studies of social media use by young adults dealing with other kinds of traumatic injuries or chronic illnesses, as well as by healthy young adults, could provide insight into other variables. Future research should also include quantitative studies measuring the relationships among the variables (the five essential themes) identified in this study to social media use by young adults; and longitudinal studies measuring the identified themes and social media use in adult burn survivors.

Setting Up Symbol Server in Debugger
Debug symbols allow you to have better debugging sessions. They have information about the functions contained in executables and dynamic libraries and provide you with information to get clean call stacks. A Symbol Server allows the debugger to load the correct symbols, binaries and sources automatically without forcing users to download large debugging files. The server functions like Microsoft's symbol server so the documentation there can be useful.
Note that because released Electron builds are heavily optimized, debugging is not always easy. The debugger will not be able to show you the content of all variables and the execution path can seem strange because of inlining, tail calls, and other compiler optimizations. The only workaround is to build an unoptimized local build.
The official symbol server URL for Electron is You cannot visit this URL directly, you must add it to the symbol path of your debugging tool. In the examples below, a local cache directory is used to avoid repeatedly fetching the PDB from the server. Replace c:\code\symbols with an appropriate cache directory on your machine.
Using the Symbol Server in Windbg
The Windbg symbol path is configured with a string value delimited with asterisk characters. To use only the Electron symbol server, add the following entry to your symbol path (Note: you can replace c:\code\symbols with any writable directory on your computer, if you'd prefer a different location for downloaded symbols):
Set this string as _NT_SYMBOL_PATH in the environment, using the Windbg menus, or by typing the.sympath command. If you would like to get symbols from Microsoft's symbol server as well, you should list that first:
Using the symbol server in Visual Studio
Troubleshooting: Symbols will not load

Fight Child Labor in Uzbekistan
As the harvest season for cotton in Uzbekistan begins, 2 million Uzbek children, some as young as six or seven and ranging up to 15, will be forced to spend their days picking cotton instead of attending classes.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Labor Department included cotton from Uzbekistan on a list of goods produced by forced and child labor. Each year during the three-month harvest, Uzbek authorities shut down hundreds of schools, hospitals and public offices. Along with the children, thousands of teachers, doctors and public administrators are forced into the fields.
The International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF) has joined with AFT and a broad range of organizations in the United States and Central Asia to call for an end to forced child labor in Uzbekistan. You can act today to stop this shameful practice by signing a petition here.
All supporters who sign the petition by Oct. 2 will have their names put on a special cotton quilt that will be unveiled at a rally in front of the Uzbek embassy in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 14. To get more involved in this action, e-mail _EMAIL_.
Every day more than 200 million children around world—one in every six between ages five and 17—go work instead of school, according to the International Labor Organization (ILO).
Child labor, says U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, continues to be a serious global "problem in 21st century society," and she says the United States "must do everything in our power to end these shameful practices."
Uzbekistan is the world's third-largest exporter of raw cotton and generates some $1 billion a year in cotton exports. Up to one-third of the country's workforce labors on cotton farms. Independent union representation is almost nonexistent for workers.
Some children who work in the cotton fields are required to work in remote areas where they are forced to stay in dormitories while they pick cotton. Children are even compelled to apply toxic pesticides in parts of Uzbekistan without appropriate protective gear, according to ILRF.
The AFL-CIO Solidarity Center reports that the children working in the fields must meet daily cotton quotas, and those who fail or refuse to take part can face corporal punishment and expulsion from school. Consequences for parents who protest also can be severe: Their social benefits may be revoked, they may be shamed at public meetings or their utilities may be cut off.
The Solidarity Center is part of a broad-based coalition of concerned organizations, led by ILRF, urging the Uzbek government to put an end to these brutal practices. Click here to download an ILRF report, "We Live Subject to Their Orders: A Three-Province Survey of Forced Child Labor in Uzbekistan's 2008 Cotton Harvest."
In an op-ed column in the Los Angeles Times, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, says forced labor in the cotton fields benefits the Uzbek dictatorship, while the children and other workers get only meager meals for their work.
President Islam Karimov, the strongman leader in Uzbekistan since Soviet times, has not only suppressed democracy, he has maintained his regime's rigid monopoly as the sole purchaser of cotton grown in the country. Uzbek farmers are required to sell their cotton to state trading agencies at less than one-third the world market price. In turn, the government sells the cotton on commodity exchanges at the market price, guaranteeing huge profits.
Consumers and companies in the United States and Western Europe prop up this "monstrous system" by unwittingly purchasing cotton harvested by forced child labor, Harkin says. Most Uzbek cotton is sold to countries in South Asia and Eastern Europe. From there, the cotton is processed and turned into garments sold in retail stores in the United States, Canada and Western Europe.
Harkin says an international network of nongovernmental organizations, U.S. retailers, manufacturers, faith-based investors and others has come together to try to persuade the Uzbek government to end its use of forced child labor. But the Uzbek government has refused to end the practice despite making promises to do so. He warns:
It is time for the Uzbek government to begin acting in good faith. It should immediately invite the ILO to send an expert observer and assessment mission to Uzbekistan as a prelude to the long-term engagement necessary to reduce and ultimately end forced child labor in that country's cotton fields. It should allow Uzbek children to leave the fields and return to school.

A Wendigo is most commonly known as a mythical creature appearing in the mythology of the Algonquin people, who inhabited what is now present day Quebec. A Wendigo is a cannibalistic spirit that could possess humans, or into which humans could transform.
Origin: The mythological Wendigo originated from the Algonquian speaking tribes of the United States. The creature in their stories was a spirit that could possess humans and turn them into cannibals. According to their myths, the Wendigoes were "embodiments of gluttony, greed, and excess; never satisfied after killing and consuming one person, they were constantly searching for new victims." It is said that in some traditions, greedy humans could be turned into Wendigoes. That myth was used to create cooperation and moderation in the people.
Appearance: The Wendigo is described as an extremely gaunt person with skin the colour of death, and with eyes pushed back into their sockets. The lips of the Wendigo were always tattered and bloody. Because of the uncleanness in which they lived, the Wendigo gave off a of an odor of decay.
Influence On The Modern Day: Lately, in today's culture, Wendigoes have become a large part of the horror world. Wendigoes appear in numerous computer games, such as Final Fantasy, and Dungeons and Dragons. In these popular games, there is actually very little in common with the mythological Wendigo. In today's culture, the Wendigo is portrayed as a huge hairy beast, similar to the werewolf. In the myths, a Wendigo is a person who has turned cannibal.

Editors' Note: This is an updated version of our 2019 Thanksgiving article.
Today, millions of Americans will sit down to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family. A recognizable menu at any time of year, the traditional meal features cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, rolls, pumpkin pie, stuffing and, of course, turkey! Before enjoying your sumptuous meal, take a few moments to read how this holiday is made possible by compressed air and gas technologies:
Automate Those Lines! Before the food you eat makes it to the table, it must be packaged and transported – but how does it even get to the packaging area? With the help of air compressors! Compressed air is used to control the valves and actuators in automated lines for filling, packaging, and bottling; low-pressure compressed air will also help move the food down the production line so that packaging can occur.
Bottling. What's Thanksgiving dinner without a glass of wine? Bottling is the quintessential application for compressors and nitrogen generators in winemaking. Air compressors provide the pressurized air that moves the wine from the barrels to the bottles, and because wines are particularly susceptible to oxidation during bottling, using an inert gas like nitrogen to remove the oxygen from the empty bottles helps ensure the freshness of the wine. N2 is also used to eliminate the carbon gases from the bottles prior to capping.
Canning. Vacuum pumps and nitrogen generators are also used in canning, which is a necessary process for other Thanksgiving favorites like pumpkin puree and cranberry sauce. Vacuum is used to form the can, stamped from a single piece of aluminum, and to hold the cans as they move down the line. Because aluminum is nonmagnetic, the vacuum level must be able to hold the cans as they are lifted, set down and filled. Nitrogen generators also play an important role in canning, as they introduce nitrogen into the cans holding the end products. Every pocket of space in the cans are filled with nitrogen, thus removing the oxygen eliminating moisture and mold. What you are left with is a fresher, tastier product that stays that way for longer.
Cooling and Spraying. Baked goods like dinner rolls and sweet breads are iconic parts of the Thanksgiving day meals. Compressed air is used to cool down baked goods after they emerge from the oven, which helps prevent contamination and product spoilage.
Food Packaging. Vacuum and nitrogen technology are essential elements of the Thanksgiving Day feast. Because turkeys are distributed across the country, they must be packaged and frozen prior to being shipped to their final destination. This is accomplished with both vacuum pumps and nitrogen generators:
The vacuum process removes atmospheric oxygen from the food packages to prevent aerobic bacteria and fungi from growing.
Meanwhile, on-site nitrogen generation ensures that the food doesn't spoil by displacing the remaining oxygen from the package in a process called MAP, or Modified Atmospheric Packaging, which inhibits aerobic spoilage. This is especially important for perishable meats that can quickly sour without proper precautions! Keep in mind that turkeys aren't the only food item that benefit from compressed air and gas technologies, however. MAP with nitrogen is commonly utilized in snacks, coffee, cheese, pasta, baked goods, sandwiches and processed meats. It is also becoming increasingly popular in fresh-cut produce, like pre-packaged salads and fruit, for convenience, quality, and more variety.
We hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your time with family and friends, and if you'd like to learn more about compressed air and gas, you can find us at _URL_

, NCache, and Redis out of the box. The configuration of these elements are pretty simple.
Looking at this from an architecture perspective, it would be prudent to start with IDistributedCache anytime that you believe future requirements will require supporting a scale pattern.
Content Management Systems (Such as DNN Platform)
Due to Content Management systems' dynamic nature, they will often leverage cache more heavily to reduce the performance impact of dynamic configuration elements loaded from the database. DNN Platform is no exception to this process.
Thankfully, the DNN Platform supports a provider-based model for caching implementation with out-of-the-box support for File, Memory, and Simple Web caching. These models work well single-server and traditional scale-out models; however, they do not work well for auto-scale dynamic nature. The greater DNN Platform ecosystem adds additional options with support for Redis and other cache providers that can fill those holes!
The more complex your application is, the more likely you will have more components than a simple web application. It is common to need back-end tasks, or jobs, to execute tasks on specific intervals or respond to user requests. Many technologies can be employed for this; however, it is important to look at the models used and how they might be impacted in Scale-Up, Scale-Out, and Geo-Replication models.
This Website (ASP.NET Core)
For all.NET Core based projects that we utilize we include HangFire by default. HangFire provides a robust back-end job processing sub-system that fully supports.NET Core, durability, scale, and similar. It utilizes a SQL Server database to manage the queue of tasks and will ensure that regardless of the scale environment, your tasks execute when they need to.
Given that we have full control here, we need to ensure that any job we schedule is done so in a forward-thinking manner and ready for any scale setup. Hangfire takes most of that guesswork away from us.
Content Management Systems (Such as DNN Platform)
Every CMS system that I have worked with has an internal task system, the DNN Platform is no different. Each of these systems may have unique limitations or pitfalls. One key item to understand with these systems is what is being changed by the specific tasks. Sometimes a task might be used to clean up files on the file system or index content in the database. Depending on the target operation, you might see different impacts to scalability within your deployment.
For example, items that operate against the database only need to run once, even in geo-redundant and scale-out situations, does your platform support this? DNN Platform does so, but only for named servers. Because of this limitation, traditional scale-out or geo-replication will work; however, automatic scale with dynamic server names will be a real problem.
Workarounds for these can be designed; however, as with other elements of this discussion, you want to plan to avoid overworking your system or corrupting data.
Network Infrastructure Architecture
We have spent a good amount of time reviewing the code infrastructure needs for scalability; however, your network architecture can have a large impact on your options. These are temporary problems, but can result in delays should you need to promptly respond.
DNS & Traffic Flow
Scaling an environment up does not change any traffic flow for visitor traffic to your website; therefore, regardless of the environment, no changes will be needed. However, the desire to scale-out or geo-replication could require changes.
If you are using Azure AppService (PaaS), you can use the scale-out options without any DNS/Traffic flow changes. The system will manage this with your standard endpoint. If inside of a traditional hosting environment, it will be important to understand your provider's limitations concerning using a load balancer. Can they introduce it without a DNS change and the associated propagation delay?
Understanding limitations in a scale-out situation, especially if it is an as-needed plan, can be the dividing line between success and failure.
Implementation of geo-replication will always require planning as you must establish a process to route traffic to different data centers based on some criteria. Within the Azure world, this is where Azure Traffic Manager would come into play. Outside of Azure, you could utilize Cloudflare or other services; however, it is important to ensure that the process used is not tied to a single point of failure, such as a single physical data center.
This is an area of setup that can be confusing on the network architecture side. You might not be planning to introduce geo-replication for a while; however, setting up the tooling to enable it, even with a single location, will allow future deployment to be streamlined. For a little monthly expense, you can put items in place to avoid a new for breaking changes later.
Creating the Perfect Architecture
So, where do you go from here? How do you create the perfect architecture for your particular application? These answers will vary based on implementation; however, I hope the above discussion starts to open the thought process to architecting your solution. Future blogs will dive into various aspects of this.


In the thick of the Wuhan virus outbreak, it is clear that airport management is a crucial area to improve upon.
Airports are the backbone of the travel industry. They are a gateway to the world, handling millions of passengers around the globe each day. But airports are not immune to disruption. Much like the rest of the travel industry, they are being put under pressure due to the rapidly changing industry landscape.
Growing traveler expectations, an ever-increasing number of passengers, and a need for personalisation means that airports have to prioritise frictionless travel. Competition for passengers, airline routes, and non-aeronautical revenues are also driving innovation in the industry with key players rethinking the traditional airport.
Looking ahead further in the future, revolutionary modes of ultra-fast and ultra-long-haul travel will require airports to not only accommodate new types of aircraft but also a new generation of travelers.
To understand how to manage these pressures, travel technology provider Amadeus, has publicized the top five trends that they and industry experts believe will shape the airport of the future.
 1. Automation will be needed to manage passenger growth
 According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to receive an additional 2.1 billion annual passengers by 2036. To address this rise in passenger numbers, airport operators will increasingly look to automation to extract more capacity out of existing infrastructure.
 "Automation of services will facilitate a smoother flow of passengers in, through and around the airport, easing congestion. They also offer a more personalised service in the process. For example, automatic bag drops allow passengers to retrieve their booking biometrically instead of using a boarding pass, saving valuable seconds that would otherwise compound as hundreds of passengers check their bags onto flights. Less congestion across these touchpoints will allow the airport of the future to become more experiential, offering passengers more time to explore retail and entertainment options throughout the terminal." – Dr. Thomas Landgrebe, Senior Software Engineer, ICM Airport Technics, an Amadeus company
 2. Off-site passenger handling will become an industry standard
 Advances in technology are facilitating greater opportunities for off-site passenger handling. Many airports and travel stakeholders are using the cloud to enable pop-up check-in and baggage drop services.
 "To cope with the rising passenger numbers, airports will have to use cloud-based technology to alleviate the congestion of passenger processing. We've been using the cloud to roll out our 'pop-up' check-in kiosks, which we can deploy in any location that's convenient for the passenger. The main benefit being these are scalable according to demand, and require no new infrastructure investment. In the future, we're going to see off-airport services become the norm, while check-in halls are reduced and repurposed."–Matt Lee, CEO of OACIS
 3. Biometrics will become integrated across all touchpoints
 Investment in biometric technologies will rise as airports look to increase throughput, while streamlining the passenger journey, creating a frictionless experience at every touchpoint.
 "As other airport processes are becoming more modernised and efficient; processes around the airport, such as security, are beginning to develop bottlenecks throughout the terminal. In fact, we're seeing some travelers choose flights based on queuing times. Fortunately, the uptake of biometric technology has the ability to ease the pressure across multiple touchpoints around the airport. We've seen airports already exploring and trialing biometrics. The industry needs to continue to test and innovate the technology to create seamless experiences for all travelers." – Faisal Ariff, Founder and CEO of BorderPass
 4. Greener airports will become much more important in the coming years
 An increasing concern for the global travel industry is the carbon footprint left by all travel stakeholders. In response to public pressure, the stakeholders are exploring ways to offset emissions and become more environmentally sustainable."Cloud technology presents the industry with a method to dramatically reduce emissions. Airports run servers and data centers through the terminal which are consuming a large amount of electricity. The cloud allows airports to remove the energy consuming hardware and centralize this, meaning airports have the ability to significantly reduce their carbon emissions." – Sarah Samuel, Head of Airport IT, Amadeus, Asia Pacific
 5. Scalability will be crucial at peak travel periods
 The cloud enables airports to be more flexible, scaling operations up or down based on demand. At peak times, such as public holidays, festivals, or national sporting events, additional passenger handling services can be rolled out quickly and without the need for any fixed infrastructure, as systems connect via the internet.
 "Digitally transforming to create a new airport experience is a common goal for many airports. This can be achieved using the cloud. We've been using the cloud to deploy iCUSS check-in kiosks, allowing passengers to check-in from locations outside of the terminal, such as train platforms, hotels or convention centers. By using the cloud we're able to completely revolutionise our airport experience and alleviate the challenges of the customer journey." – Andy C Bien, Chief Information Officer, Hong Kong Airport

Can a Palace Really be Sustainable? - Case Study of Versailles
SJR 04 - 05 - 2010
When one first looks at the Versailles Palace in France, the immediate thought that comes to mind is something to the effect of "over-the-top," or "gaudy." Sustainable is NOT what a visitor thinks, but on closer look some sustainable principles start to emerge. The palace was home to not only the king, but also the nobles of the court. Therefore the people not only lived at the palace, they also worked and entertained themselves in the palace on the grounds. This is similar to the concept of mixed-use in present day planning. A designer tries to create places that can meet every need of the residents. Along with residences, these mixed-use projects include grocery stores, offices, coffee shops, clothing stores, bars, restaurants, gathering spaces, and much more. Another feature that can be taken away from Versailles is the range of activities the grounds provide. In the center of the gardens in the mile-long Grand Canal around which people could walk or take a boat. The areas on either side of the canal offer a range of different size spaces for gathering. Some are large, like the formal gardens and the amphitheatre. Others are smaller and more intimate, like Apollo's Tree Grove. The lands beyond the gardens were used for horse-back riding and hunting. No matter what a person wanted to do, the Versailles grounds had it all. Inside there were numerous ballrooms and dining rooms for parties, as well as the different apartments. Also there are a lot of windows in the palace that allow the rooms to be naturally lit. While the concept behind Versailles can be seen as sustainable, the manner in which it was create wasn't. There is a large amount of unused space in the palace interiors and the excess of material, like the gold leaf covering many of the surfaces. The fact that the site was once a swamp meant that in order to construct the palace and grounds, all the land had to be drained. Then over a hundred fountains were added in the gardens. In fact there are so many fountains that they can't all be run at one time! So while the palace at first glance isn't a very sustainable piece of architecture and landscape architecture, there are plenty of concepts and principles that we as present-day designers can learn from.

Light and shadow is a central component to painting as it is what makes up the light and dark areas of a work. For example, let's take a look at a self portrait by Rembrandt – a painting with strong light and dark contrast. You can see the left side of his face is illuminated by a stream of light.
Therefore, the left area of Rembrandt's face is regarded as being light in value. In contrast, if you look at the same Rembrandt painting the right side of his face – the shadow area – is considered to be dark in value. These two elements – light and shadow are the two basic elements that are required in painting.
Painting with color and light can be difficult. Just mastering light and shadow on its own is hard. However, when adding color into the mix it suddenly becomes much more difficult.
This chapter exists to help you with exactly that – to be able to establish strong values in your painting while also using color. Here I break down steps necessary to understand how color and value work together.
Value > Color
Value is the most important thing to learn as a painter and draftsman – I would even dare to say that it is more important than color. If a painting has beautiful color but lacks a value structure, then the painting will not be successful. However, if the colors in a painting are mismatched or unnatural, but has a value structure, then the painting will work and be successful. So, value is central to the success of a painting.
Looking at paintings by the Fauvists is a good lesson in learning about the relationship between value and color. For those of you who do not know, the fauvists were a group of painters that valued strong colors over representational or more realistic ones.
Even though the colors that these painters would use are entirely different than what one would ever experience in real life – the paintings work and have clear light and dark values!
In the painting above by Henri Matisse we can see there are areas of light and dark values. The right side of her face is darker than the left. Her forehead shows a dark shadow presumably from her hat.
How does this work you ask? Well, every color has its own value. For example, yellow is lighter than a deep red, and blue is darker than a light pink. So, the fauvist painters use the colors in terms of their value structure. Sure, it is unnatural that the right side of the woman's nose in the painting above is bright green. However, the green serves as a great shadow color as it is darker than the more illuminated areas of the portrait.
To understand how color and value work together even more let's take a look at the…
Above is a color wheel to the left and the exact same color wheel with a greyscale filter over it on the right. You can see the values of each color more clearly in the greyscale versions. Notice that the red on top is dark as is the blue on the middle left. The lightest color is the light yellow on the right.
So, you can see how different colors have different values. It is important to see a color first in terms of its value since it is the most important element in painting.
If you haven't already get my FREE Color Mixing Guide for helpful color mixing instructions and techniques!
Always see value first
Now that we have established that different colors have different values we will talk about how to put that together in our painting!
The above painting by Edgar Degas is a perfect example of what it means to put value first. Degas did not focus his attention on all the different colors present in the scene. Rather, he started by first making a clear distinction between light and dark values. The lightest part of the painting is the window. The darkest part of the piece is the darkened silhouette of the woman. When you establish a clear area of light and dark from the beginning the rest becomes much easier.
Before even getting out your paints it can be a good idea to first create a small tonal value drawing. Creating a black and white drawing first can help you to figure out the light and shadow areas first before introducing color into the mix.
If you are still trying to get used to color I highly recommend starting with a limited palette. A limited palette simply means using less colors. However, you would still have all the colors you would need to create a painting that has a strong tonal structure. If you would like to try out using a limited palette, then a great place to start is getting yellow ochre, ultramarine blue, ivory black, burnt sienna and white. Using just these few colors will allow you to more easily focus on value while at the same time dealing with some color. As you become more accustomed to how to create a painting with a strong value structure then it is a good idea to transition to a fuller palette.
The above painting by Anders Zorn, is a great example of a painting done with a limited palette. It also has a clear value structure. Anders Zorn famously used a limited palette of four colors – vermillion, ivory black, yellow ochre, and flake white (lead white). A lot is possible with just a few colors!
Transitioning into a full color palette
You do not need to wait until you feel that you have mastered painting with color and light before transitioning into a full color palette. So much of the learning comes through the doing. Plunging into the world of color can sometimes be the best thing you can do! Above and below are some great examples of pieces done with a full color palettes. Both are by the French artist Edgar Degas. Notice how clear the value structure in both pieces are. It is so clear because Degas simplified the light and dark values very well!
Always keep in mind to put value first. Whenever you first start a painting be intentional about putting down your dark, light and medium values so that you have a clear value structure from the very beginning. Continue to put an emphasis on light and dark values as you progress in your painting.

RCUI Document Version 5.0.0 for Oracle® Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 Patch Set 1 (184.108.40.206.0)
Last Updated 06-May-2010
Content Switchers allow users to quickly jump back and forth between applications, to change the context of a page or page section, or to change user login.
Note: Images in this guideline are provided as a general reference, and may not be exact representations of FusionFX pages.
Related ADF Elements
Refer to the ADF Faces Rich Client demos page to find demos and tag documentation for the ADF elements related to this component:
Content Switchers are types of choice lists that are used to change quickly from one product, set of content, or user account to another.
Content Switcher usage depends on the type of switcher. Each type of switcher is described in its own section of this guideline:
- Application Switcher: Switches from one product to another.
- Context Switcher: Switches content within a page or section of a page.
- Login Switcher: Switches from one user account to another.
Note: The Content Switcher is not a separate ADF component. It is implemented using the "compact" mode of Select Choice, with certain types of values configured by product teams. See the Related ADF Elements list above for a list of ADF components that may be used to implement a content switcher.
All three types of content switchers consist of the same basic elements:
- Current Selection Text: Indicates the current application, context, or user account. The form of the text depends on the location of the switcher. See the section for each type of switcher for details.
- Drop-Down Button: Opens the switcher choice list. See the Select Choice guideline for component details.
- Choice List: Contains a list of applications, contexts, or users. Content switcher choice lists should be configured as follows:
- Each entry consists of a single line.
- Blank entries are not permitted.
- Entries should be grouped using separator lines.
Content Switcher Elements
The differences between content switchers are a function of switcher location and list content, as described in the following subsections.
Allows the user to switch back and forth between Oracle products.
- An application switcher may only be placed after the product name in the Branding bar, where the product name functions as the current selection text.
- When the user clicks the switcher drop-down button, the choice list displays a list of applications.
- Selecting an application name from the choice list takes the user to the Home page or default opening page of another application.
- Switch within a family of applications: for example, from Sales to Support applications.
- Switch between modules within a family of applications: for example, from one HR module to another HR module.
- Switch between related applications: for example, from a Sales application to Order Management application.
- Switch between different editions or versions of an application: for example, from a recruitment application for managers to a recruitment application for employees.
- The application switcher is primarily recommended for applications belonging to a product suite, where users may need to frequently switch between applications to gain different views or perform different operations on the same or related data.
- If implemented, the application switcher should appear on every page of the application.
- The application switcher must also be implemented in every application listed in the switcher to enable two-way navigation between applications.
- An application switcher should not be used for linking to locations other than the Home Page or default opening page of another application, or Favorites configured by the user.
- An application switcher choice list may also contain the list of Favorites the user has set up. This list should be appended to the application list, after a separator line.
- Do not use an application switcher to link to a specific location within another application. If this is required, use a link within page content together with instructions that identify the task to be performed at the target location in the other application.
Allows the user to change content on the current page or a section of the current page.
- A context switcher may be placed in different locations. In each location, the preceding header text functions as the current selection text.
- Contextual Branding, to switch context for the entire page.
- Primary page header/title, to switch context for the entire page.
- Section header, to switch context for that section only.
- When the user clicks the switcher drop-down button, the choice list displays a list of contexts.
- Selecting a context from the choice list refreshes the page or section with new content.
- Content changes made on one page are usually reflected on drill-down pages, and may also be reflected in subsequent pages of a multi-page process.
Context Switcher in Contextual Branding Area
Two Images of Context Switcher in Header Region (One Showing Select Choice List)
- A user is looking at a detail page of database XYZ, and then uses the context switcher to change the view to database ABC.
- A user is viewing assets for the Accounting department. There is an object list of assets, work requests regarding the assets, and other functionality regarding the assets of that organization. The user uses the context switcher to view the Marketing department assets.
- A project manager is viewing the project schedule and resources for construction of an office building, and then uses the context switcher to view the project schedule and resources for construction of a hospital.
- The context switcher is recommended as a quick, alternative method of switching page contexts, without requiring users to navigate up to an object list to select a different object or attribute.
- The context switcher is recommended for professional applications; avoid placing it in applications for non-technical users because users may lose track of their context if provided with context switchers.
- When implemented, the context switcher must appear on every page listed in the choice list to enable two-way navigation between those pages.
Allows the user to change login credentials without restarting the application.
- A login switcher may be placed after a login stamp, with the login stamp data functioning as the current selection text. See the Page Stamps guideline for more details on login stamps.
- When the user clicks the switcher drop-down button, the choice list displays a list of user IDs.
- Selecting a user ID from the choice list switches credentials, allowing access to different application features or data depending on privileges of the user account.
Login Switcher with User Stamp Label
- An administrator is logged in with a personal user account and realizes that super-user privileges are necessary to complete a task. In this case a login switcher allows the administrator to quickly change the login without needing to restart the application.
- A member of a project team is working on a shared computer when another user needs quick access to data managed within the same application. They can use the login switcher to quickly change the login account to view or edit data, and then switch back to the original login so the first user can continue work.
- The login switcher is recommended as a quick, alternative method of switching logins, without needing to restart the application or the system.
- The login switcher is recommended for professional users; applications for non-technical users typically provide access only for a single user ID.
- When implemented, the login switcher must be available for all user accounts listed in the choice list to enable two-way switching between user accounts.


text: INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - For the past 17 years, North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District and Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue have collaborated together to teach the fourth-graders at Incline Elementary School about Winter Wilderness Survival, better known as the "Hug-A-Tree" program.The program focuses on teaching children what to do should they ever find themselves lost in the wilderness. This year the program will be held at the Incline Elementary School on Wednesday, Feb. 6The program starts with an indoor assembly reviewing the purpose and outline of the curriculum, followed by outdoor teaching stations covering how to dress properly, food and fuel and the "3 Ws" (Where am I going, Who am I going with, When will I be back?). The outdoor stations are interactive, encouraging the students to learn hands on about each survival topic. The first station is the "S.T.O.P" station, standing for Stop, Think, Observe and Plan. Stop to take a minute and pause, don't panic. Next, Think. Use your head to gather information, for example, does anyone know where you are, what do you have with you? What time is it? Next, Observe - use your eyes and ears. Pay attention to the weather (wind, snow, sun, and clouds) and particular landmarks such as hills, streams, roads and rocks. Are you with anyone? How are they feeling - tired or cold, weak or strong? Can you hear dogs, cars, people - signs of civilization? The second station focuses on shelters. The goal of this station is to stay warm and dry. The kids learn how to build a shelter with any available materials such as branches, surrounding trees, rocks, and/or ski equipment they may have with them.The third station teaches the children about using signals and how to make one. Once a shelter has been built, it is important make an effective signal to get attention. What can be used and what can they do to let people know where they are? Making themselves big and obvious, using a whistle and making an "x" in the snow with skis or rocks and branches are some ideas to create an obvious appearance that calls for attention."Hug-a-Tree" started in San Diego after a search for a nine-year old boy ended in a tragic death. In March of 1981, just one month following the incident, a group of people that were involved in the search, put together an assembly program for children focusing on winter wilderness survival tips, targeted to children ages 5-12.The Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue Team has been teaching Winter Wilderness Survival since 1976 and collaborating with North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District since 1996.

Model-based diagnosis typically uses analytical redundancy to compare predictions from a model against observations from the system being diagnosed. However this approach does not work very well when it is not feasible to create analytic relations describing all the observed data, e.g., for vibration data which is usually sampled at very high rates and requires very detailed finite element models to describe its behavior. In such cases, features (in time and frequency domains) that contain diagnostic information are extracted from the data. Since this is a computationally intensive process, it is not efficient to extract all the features all the time. In this paper we present an approach that combines the analytic model-based and feature-driven diagnosis approaches. The analytic approach is used to reduce the set of possible faults and then features are chosen to best distinguish among the remaining faults. We describe an implementation of this approach on the Flyable Electro-mechanical Actuator (FLEA) test bed.

Open up a new document and create a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool (M). Fill it with black. This will be the universe background.
Next, create a circle with the Ellipse Tool (L) and fill it with a blue.
Make a copy of the ellipse. Then select the Pencil Tool (N) and start drawing a wave like shape. Place it so it overlaps with the circle.
Select both, the circle and the wave and select the Add to Shape Area in the Pathfinder Palette.
This will be the basic background for the earth resembling the water.
Make a copy of the earth/water shape on top (Command + C + F) and fill it with a radial black to white gradient. Set the layer mode to Multiply at 41% Opacity.
Select the original circle and duplicate it. Overlap both until you can create a sickle like shape (Choose Subtract from the Pathfinder Palette). Fill it with a radial black to white gradient and set the layer mode to Multiply at 27% Opacity.
Place the first full circle on top of the earth and then the sickle like shape on top of that.
Let's create the land pieces. Create another circle (the same size as the earth) and set the stroke to blue. Then start drawing shapes with the Pencil Tool (N) resembling land shapes. Make sure they overlap with the circle outline.
Select them all and fill them with blue, no stroke. You can easily achieve this by clicking Shift + X to swap the Stroke color to the Fill Color. Now select all the shapes and hit the Divide button on the Pathfinder Palette.
Delete the shapes you do not need. Now fill the remaining ones with a color of your choice. I chose a green gradient to represent the land masses.
Select the land shapes and go to Object > Path > Offset Path and apply the settings below.
Make a copy of the circle and then select it with the bigger offset shapes. Hit the Divide button in the Pathfinder Palette.
Use the Direct Selection Tool to select the overlapping parts, then delete them. Now make sure the shapes that are slightly bigger are placed behind the original shapes of the land. Then change the fill color to a light blue.
Select the light blue shapes and apply a Feather Effect and set the layer mode to 55% Opacity.
Place the earth shape with the radial gradient on top of all shapes.
Let's move on to the smaller elements. We want to create some trees that are oversized and whimsical. Create a tree trunk with the Pen Tool (P) and fill it with brown.
Then create the leaf part and fill it with a radial green gradient.
Group both and apply a Drop Shadow (Effect > Stylize > Drop Shadow).
Make several copies of the tree and change the green gradient slightly. Overlap them and place them on top of one of the grass shapes. Rotate them as needed.
Let's move on to the light house part. Create several red rectangles and place them apart, just like you see in the image below.
Then draw on top of the rectangles a light house shape filled with red.
Select all of the rectangles and the light house shape and hit the Divide button in the Pathfinder Palette.
Start deleting the unnecessary shapes and fill each second shape with white.
Add to the bottom red rectangle a path point with the Pen Tool (P). Then select the point with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and drag it downwards. Add path point handles by pressing Alt and once you move over the point, click and drag. Adjust the handles so the bottom of the rectangle becomes rounded.
Add some more shapes to complete the lighthouse. Now select all and group (Command + G). Skew or rotate the lighthouse.
Place the lighthouse on top of another land shape.
You can add as many fun objects as desired. For example, a house, a boat, some bushes etc. All can be achieved with simple shapes.
Let's give the scene some drama. Create a funny shape like you see in the images below and fill it with a black to white radial gradient.
Place it on top of all the other shapes including the background. Then set the layer mode to Overlay at 100% Opacity.
Create a fairly big circle, fill it with black and place it behind the lighthouse, but on top of the background. Now add one mesh point in the middle with the Mesh Tool (U). Select the mesh point with the Direct Selection Tool (A) and fill the point with a dark grey.
Create another circle and repeat the same. But instead of selecting the middle mesh point, select the outer mesh point and fill the point with a lighter grey. This will make the circle look like another far away planet.
This is it. Pretty straight forward and simple. I hope you had fun with this tutorial. I would like to thank Sean Geng who's earth illustration inspired me to write a tutorial. Please check out his portfolio, DesignSpasm.net.

Expressions used in Everyday Spoken English in Social and Professional contexts
sandbag (somebody)
sandbagsandbag somebody
1) conceal or misrepresent something in order to gain an advantage
 - How to MemorizePopularity HighProfessional MediumSocial
 - sandbag your opponents/rivals
 - Analysis
 This expression is mostly used in a professional context and is a strategy with the aim of lowering the expectations around something or someone in order to produce better-than-expected results. To do so, it is not always necessary to lie, you can instead withhold information, or be as conservative with your estimate as possible. In other words, only provide the worst-case scenario. In a social respect, it tends to be used in relation to betting or sport. As a verb to'sandbag' someone is to deceive someone in order to get what you want or deliberately underperform in order to gain an advantage.
 - Social Examples (Advance)
 1. The poker player sandbagged his opponents by losing his first few hands. He hoped they would raise the stakes if they saw him as less of a threat.
 2. sandbagged my opponents in the first part of the race and then shot into the lead when they were running out of stamina.
 - Professional Examples (Advance)
 1. The deal is very close to being completed, but to make myself look better, I decided to sandbag my boss by telling her that it could take weeks to get it over the line
 2. The company earned a reputation for sandbagging by consistently low-balling its projected earnings in order to temper shareholders' expectations.

Guguan Island has a land area of 4.1 square kilometers and is an active volcano with two cones, one of which is dormant. It is protected from development by the CNMI Constitution as it has been declared a wildlife conservation area, with large seabird colonies of Sooty Terns (Sterna fuscata), Gray-backed Terns (S. lunata), Brown Noddies (Anous stolidus), Black Noddies (A. minutus), and Red-footed Boobies (Sula sula). The reef communities observed around most of Guguan are as well developed as any seen in the northern islands, except for Maug. Unlike the exposed southeast shores of other northern islands, Guguan's southeast shore has developed reef communities.

Guide to Historic Hamilton
History of Bitterroot and Hamilton Told
Copper Kings and women in goat-drawn carts are part of the Bitterroot valley's past that come to life in the Montana Historical Society Press's A Guide to Historic Hamilton.
The book, written by Chere Jiusto of the Society's State Historic Preservation Office, is the fourth in the Press's Montana Mainstreets series.
The book includes a lively text, maps, and historic photographs of the town founded in 1890 by Cooper King Marcus Daly, whose Anaconda Company sawmill and private Bitter Root Stock Farm dominated the community through the late nineteenth century.
Like all the Mainstreets guides, Guide to Historic Hamilton provides an easy-to-read and understandable introduction to the history of a unique Montana community through a look at its historic buildings
The legacy of Hamilton's rich history can be seen in the Georgian-style Colonial-revival mansion built by Daly's wife Margaret, which is among the most magnificent homes in Montana; the collegiate Gothic-style Rocky Mountain Laboratory, where scientists battled against Rocky Mountain spotted fever; and dozens of other historical buildings and homes.
Alongside stories of Hamilton's well-known citizens are stories of people like Martha Reinkeh, who lived in the 1880s in what is believed to be the oldest house still standing in the town today.
Known by locals as a cantankerous eccentric, Reinkeh traveled in a goat-drawn cart until her goat was shot after butting a businessman through a store window.
Doug Johnson, director of the Daly Mansion, brought the community together on the project and helped raise money to fund it. Russ Lawrence, charter member of the Daly Mansion Preservation Trust, wrote an afterword for the book that focuses on the future of the community.
The 74-page book includes 44 historic photographs, 11 maps, and other illustrations and sells for $9.95, as do the other books in the series. It is available in bookstores or can be ordered directly plus shipping and handling by calling toll-free _PHONE_.

3D biological metal detection
08 May 2008
The water flea is the testbed for a non-destructive 3D imaging method that pinpoints metals in vivo.
Laszlo Vincze, from Ghent University, Belgium, and his colleagues in Belgium, Hungary and Germany have combined x-ray techniques to allow them to detect metal ions and their locations in biological samples - including living systems.
Elementary: x-ray techniques reveal the metal distribution in the water flea Daphnia magna
Vincze explains the techniques' advantages: 'Thanks to the highly penetrating character of x-rays, a sample can be investigated in three dimensions in an essentially non-destructive manner, leaving most - if not all - other analytical techniques behind. Owing to recent advances in x-ray science, imaging of transition metal distributions with micrometre to nanometre spatial resolution and with parts per billion sensitivity is becoming possible.'
Vincze warns that although the techniques are not immediately destructive, there are other issues to consider. 'With biological imaging, the problem of radiation damage is one of the most challenging aspects of future scanning x-ray fluorescence measurements,' he says. Nevertheless, he adds that he can imagine the combined techniques being used in a wide variety of disciplines. 'We expect to see a rapid evolution towards in situ elemental imaging on the nanoscopic scale in various areas, including earth and environmental science, material science, archaeology and functional biology,' he says.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I have a list of possible substrings, e.g. ['cat', 'fish', 'dog']. In practice the list contains hundreds of entries.
I'm processing a string, and what I'm looking for is to find the index of first appearance of any of these substrings.
To clarify, for '012cat' the result is 3, and for '0123dog789cat' the result is 4.
I also need to know which substring was found (e.g. its index in the substring list or the text itself), or at least the length of the substring matched.
There are obvious brute-force ways to achieve this, I wondered if there's any elegant Python/Regex solution for this.
Thanks, Rax
share|improve this question
Is the list of substrings constant? I'm asking because using Regex type solutions usually involve some precomputations of the regular expression (rsp. the list of substrings in your case). Would that precomputation be amortized over many searches? – Accipitridae May 9 '09 at 7:30

I would assume a regex is better than checking for each substring individually because conceptually the regular expression is modeled as a DFA, and so as the input is consumed all matches are being tested for at the same time (resulting in one scan of the input string).
So, here is an example:
import re
def work():
 to_find = re.compile("cat|fish|dog")
 search_str = "blah fish cat dog haha"
 match_obj = to_find.search(search_str)
 the_index = match_obj.start() # produces 5, the index of fish
 which_word_matched = match_obj.group() # "fish"
 # Note, if no match, match_obj is None
UPDATE: Some care should be taken when combining words in to a single pattern of alternative words. The following code builds a regex, but escapes any regex special characters and sorts the words so that longer words get a chance to match before any shorter prefixes of the same word:
def wordlist_to_regex(words):
 escaped = map(re.escape, words)
 combined = '|'.join(sorted(escaped, key=len, reverse=True))
 return re.compile(combined)
>>> r.search('smash atomic particles').span()
(6, 10)
>>> r.search('visit usenet:comp.lang.python today').span()
(13, 29)
>>> r.search('a north\south division').span()
(2, 13)
>>> r.search('012cat').span()
(3, 6)
>>> r.search('0123dog789cat').span()
(4, 7)
It should be noted that you will want to form the regex (ie - call to re.compile()) as little as possible. The best case would be you know ahead of time what your searches are (or you compute them once/infrequently) and then save the result of re.compile somewhere. My example is just a simple nonsense function so you can see the usage of the regex. There are some more regex docs here:
Hope this helps.
UPDATE: I am unsure about how python implements regular expressions, but to answer Rax's question about whether or not there are limitations of re.compile() (for example, how many words you can try to "|" together to match at once), and the amount of time to run compile: neither of these seem to be an issue. I tried out this code, which is good enough to convince me. (I could have made this better by adding timing and reporting results, as well as throwing the list of words into a set to ensure there are no duplicates... but both of these improvements seem like overkill). This code ran basically instantaneously, and convinced me that I am able to search for 2000 words (of size 10), and that and of them will match appropriately. Here is the code:
import random
import re
import string
import sys
def main(args):
 words = []
 letters_and_digits = "%s%s" % (string.letters, string.digits)
 for i in range(2000):
 chars = []
 for j in range(10):
 words.append(("%s"*10) % tuple(chars))
 search_for = re.compile("|".join(words))
 first, middle, last = words[0], words[len(words) / 2], words[-1]
 search_string = "%s, %s, %s" % (last, middle, first)
 match_obj = search_for.search(search_string)
 if match_obj is None:
 print "Ahhhg"
 index = match_obj.start()
 which = match_obj.group()
 if index!= 0:
 print "ahhhg"
 if words[-1]!= which:
 print "ahhg"
 print "success!!! Generated 2000 random words, compiled re, and was able to perform matches."
if __name__ == "__main__":
UPDATE: It should be noted that the order of of things ORed together in the regex matters. Have a look at the following test inspired by TZOTZIOY:
>>> search_str = "01catdog"
>>> test1 = re.compile("cat|catdog")
>>> match1 = test1.search(search_str)
>>> match1.group()
>>> match1.start()
>>> test2 = re.compile("catdog|cat") # reverse order
>>> match2 = test2.search(search_str)
>>> match2.group()
>>> match2.start()
This suggests the order matters :-/. I am not sure what this means for Rax's application, but at least the behavior is known.
UPDATE: I posted this questions about the implementation of regular expressions in Python which will hopefully give us some insight into the issues found with this question.

This surely works, but I have a question - isn't there a limitation on the size of the regex definition? If I have 1000 substrings, will it still work? Is there any significant performance degradation relative to the number of words (i.e. that's more than linear in the size of the list)? Regarding your other clarifications, my list of substrings is being update only once a day or so, I think it's no issue to generate the regex definition and call "compile" at this frequency. Many thanks – Roee Adler May 9 '09 at 7:55
@ rax did you see my new solution? I basically fixed everything about it and submitted it 20 seconds after this one. – Unknown May 9 '09 at 8:09
_USER_: Hopefully the example code I added helps convince you the re module will be fine :-). – Tom May 9 '09 at 8:49
I would suggest the "|".join(words) too, but there's the issue that searching for ["cacat", "cat"] in "this cacat is a cat" returns [("cacat", 5), ("cat", 16)] instead of [("cacat", 5), ("cat", 7)], although this could be the wanted behaviour. – tzot May 9 '09 at 10:10
Many so-called regular expression syntaxes are not actually "regular". That is, they are actually more powerful than true regular expressions and therefore cannot be represented as a DFA. An example of this which shows up in Python, Perl and even grep is back-references. Take the Python regex r"(a+)b\1". This matches some number of a's, a b, and then the same number of a's as before. This is non-regular. RE engines that support backreferences actually use an NFA. Some RE engines are smart enough to switch to using DFAs for regexes that are actually regular, but I don't think Python does this. – Laurence Gonsalves May 9 '09 at 18:53
subs = ['cat', 'fish', 'dog']
sentences = ['0123dog789cat']
import re
subs = re.compile("|".join(subs))
def search():
 for sentence in sentences:
 result = subs.search(sentence)
 if result!= None:
 return (result.group(), result.span()[0])
# ('dog', 4)

I think he only has 1 "sentence" – Paolo Bergantino May 9 '09 at 7:30
Thanks, but this is not what I'm looking for. First, it does not find the first occurrence (in the second sentence it will return the occurrence of "cat", i.e. 10, instead of "dog"'s, i.e. 4). There are obvious solutions but it's very very brute force (iterate until the last substring and constantly maintain the first occurrence). I'm under the impression that Python must have some library function for this... – Roee Adler May 9 '09 at 7:30
I don't like when my answers get "sniped" either... but I didn't mean to steal your thunder. +1 because your solution is technically correct. Two comments: it does not discuss the scalability concerns that Rax had, and I don't like the "return" statement, as it would prematurely exit if you had more sentences in sentences. Other than that, it's short and to the point, and warrants some reputation. – Tom May 9 '09 at 20:51

. Her vision of the choirs as "armies arrayed like a crown" inspires the artist's brilliant mandala-like image of nine concentric circles ranged about a void to signify the ineffable Presence. The reason for placing the synagogue and the angels in this section of the Scivias is not immediately apparent. But Hildegard may have meant to show that while the synagogue prefigures the work of salvation and the angels assist in it, true redemption could not be accomplished until the advent of Christ and the church-the subject of Book II.

text: Indonesia is a democratic country. Every believer is free to worship according to their beliefs. But in fact, it is still found disharmonious relationship and violence acts between Islamic minority groups or other minority adherents and Islamic majority groups. Based on Setara Institute, there are still 201 violations (2017) and 208 (2016) in this country. Then, bom terrors to minorities groups still happen (On May 13, 2018 in Surabaya). This article aims to describe the meaning of interreligious relationship, the portrait of interreligious relationship in Indonesia, and how to foster tolerance and defend minority groups in the context of Indonesian Islam. This article is analyzed by using "the theory of interreligious relationship perspective". This paper concluded that: the first, to avoid religious conflict and violent acts, everyone must return to the motto Bhinneka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity). The second, Islamic minority groups or minority religious adherents are not allowed to be oppressed by any other groups because of different belief. The violent acts are contrary to the 1945 Constitution and Pancasila. Everyone has right to live in the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). The third, imams, ulamas, and religious leaders can function to be deterrent in religion conflict and violent acts by doing dialogue or win-win solution while referring to Islamic traditions. This study is hoped to be researched and explored more comprehensive in the future in order harmonious religious life in Indonesia will be better.
