A 28,000-square-mile area of special-use airspace known as the Powder River Training Complex is now active. The airspace, which covers large areas of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota was activated Sept. 17, the same date the new Billings Sectional Aeronautical chart, which covers the entire complex, was issued.
"The Powder River Training Complex covers an enormous area and AOPA is continuing to work with military and FAA officials to mitigate the impact it will have on GA airports and operations," said Rune Duke, AOPA director of air traffic and airspace. "And now that the airspace is available for military use, we urge pilots to be aware of the Powder River Training Complex boundaries and operating times so they can continue to traverse the area safely."
The Powder River Training Complex consists of four primary military operations areas (MOAs) connected by Gap MOAs, and affects 39 airports. In places, it covers altitudes from 500 feet agl up to the flight levels. Military officials estimate the Powder River Training Complex will be used for an estimated 2,882 training hours each year, or three-to-six hours per day, about 240 days per year. The primary purpose of the special-use airspace will be to train B-1 and B-52 bomber crews.
AOPA has been working since 2004 to minimize the impact of the expanded MOAs. Several of AOPA's recommendations were taken into account in the final design, including requests to modify the MOAs to better accommodate IFR procedures, subdividing some MOAs to limit the affected area, raising the floor of some MOAs to allow aircraft to fly underneath, and adjusting some MOA boundaries to accommodate commonly used VFR routes.
Although the airspace is now active, AOPA is continuing to work with the FAA to reduce charted times of use to more accurately reflect actual usage of the airspace. The association is also working with the Air Force and FAA to implement a Special-Use Airspace Information System that would provide real-time information regarding military flight operations to general aviation pilots 24 hours a day via telephone or radio. A similar system has been in use in Alaska since 1990.

Corundum brick's compressive strength at room temperature, flexural strength at room temperature, and high-temperature flexural strength at 1400°C. For the compressive strength at room temperature, the T100 of corundum bricks made of tabular corundum as the aggregate is as high as 147MPa, which is twice the T0 of the fused white corundum bricks made of fused white corundum. Similarly, the flexural strength of plate corundum bricks at room temperature and high temperature is also significantly higher. The strength of bricks made entirely of fused white corundum is not only related to the corundum aggregate itself but also related to the ceramic bond formed after the brick is fired. The Main Components of Different Corundum Bricks are the following.
The Physical and Chemical Properties and Advantages of Corundum Bricks
The alumina content of corundum brick is more than 90%, and it is a refractory product with corundum as the main crystal phase. High compressive strength at room temperature, up to 340MPa. High load softening start temperature, greater than 1700°C. Very good chemical stability, strong resistance to acidic or alkaline slag, metal, and glass liquid. Thermal shock stability is related to its organizational structure. Dense products have good corrosion resistance but poor thermal shock stability.
Let's summarize the advantages of corundum bricks:
- It has good sintering activity and can improve the density of corundum bricks.
- Corundum bricks of tabular corundum have high bulk density and low apparent porosity.
- It has high normal temperature compressive strength, normal temperature flexural strength, and high-temperature flexural strength.
- The best wear resistance.
- The corrosion resistance and permeability of coal gasifier slag and oil residue are better than pure fused white corundum bricks.
- As an aggregate, it can improve the thermal shock stability of corundum bricks.
The Main Components of Different Corundum Bricks
Because there are many refractory materials on the market, different corundum bricks are widely used. Because of its good use effect, it is used in a variety of high-temperature industrial furnaces. In fact, corundum brick is a refractory material with alumina content greater than 90%, and often containing trace impurity elements Cr, Ti, Fe, and V. Corundum bricks on the market can also be divided into the following concentrated types according to the composition.
- Brown corundum bricks are mainly made of bauxite and coke (anthracite). The main chemical composition is aluminum oxide, titanium oxide ring contains a small amount of silicon oxide and iron oxide. The microhardness is HV1800-2200, and the toughness is higher than SIC. Abrasive tools made of brown corundum are suitable for grinding metals with high tensile strength, such as various general steels, malleable cast iron, hard bronze, etc.; they can also be used to make brown corundum bricks, which are a kind of advanced refractory materials.
- High-alumina corundum bricks are made of high-quality bauxite as the main raw material, and sub-white corundum bricks are produced on the basis of high-quality brown corundum bricks. Its chemical composition and physical properties are similar to those of white corundum. Sub white corundum is produced on the basis of high-quality brown corundum. Because its chemical composition and physical properties are similar to white corundum, it is called sub-white corundum. Bulk density≥3.8g/cm2, refractoriness≥1850℃. The product has the hardness of white corundum bricks and the toughness of brown corundum bricks. It is an ideal high-grade refractory material and abrasive material.
- White corundum bricks are made by high-temperature smelting with alumina powder as raw material. It is white, slightly higher in hardness than brown corundum brick, and slightly lower in toughness. Made into abrasive tools suitable for the grinding of high carbon steel, high-speed steel, and quenched steel. White corundum can also be used for grinding and polishing materials, as well as precision casting sand, spraying materials, chemical catalysts, special ceramics, and advanced refractory materials.
- Zirconium corundum bricks are made by smelting alumina and zirconia as raw materials in an electric arc furnace at a high temperature above 2000°C. Tough texture, dense structure, and high strength. The main mineral phase of zirconium corundum is a eutectic formed by a-alumina and alumina-zirconia. In order to ensure the quality of zirconium corundum, in addition to a reasonable selection of parameters and technology, cooling technology and processing technology. Choosing appropriate additives to reduce the silicon oxide content in the zirconium corundum bricks, making the alumina and zirconia eutectic, and having a uniform structure is also the key to the production of zirconium corundum bricks.
Classification of Corundum Bricks
Different Corundum Bricks are divided into semi-recombined or directly combined corundum bricks and dense corundum bricks. Semi-recombined or directly combined corundum bricks are made from fused corundum (or sintered corundum) and sintered alumina fine powder. Aluminum sulfate or paper pulp waste liquid is the binding agent. After high-pressure forming, it is a corundum refractory product sintered at a high temperature of 1750~1800°C. Dense corundum bricks are made of light-burned alumina fine powder. Carboxymethyl cellulose or dextrin is the binding agent. It is a corundum refractory product made by artificial granulation, press molding, and sintering at a high temperature of 1750~1800°C. It has the characteristics of high Al2O3 content, extremely low apparent porosity, high strength, corrosion resistance, and strong erosion resistance. It is suitable for the lining of synthetic ammonia converter.
Different Corundum Bricks are also classified into light corundum bricks and heavy corundum bricks according to their bulk density. Corundum bricks with different bulk densities have different performances and require different physical and chemical indicators.
So, what is the chemical composition of fused cast zirconia corundum bricks?
Fused zirconium corundum brick is also called fused zirconium corundum, commonly known as white iron brick. An electrofusion cast refractory material mainly composed of oblique zircon and corundum. A mixture of zircon (or industrial zirconia) and alumina as the main raw materials are made by melting, casting, and annealing in an electric arc furnace. Its chemical composition is: Zr0230%~50%, Al20340%~50%, Si0210%~17%. The mineral composition is mainly corundum oblique zircon eutectic, with a small amount of oblique zircon, corundum, and glass phase. The bulk density is 3.25～3.70g/cm3, the apparent porosity is 0.5%～7%, the compressive strength is 200～500MPa, and the load softening point is 1720～1760℃. Mainly used in glass kilns.
Application Industries of Different Corundum Bricks
Finally, I would like to summarize which industries corundum bricks are suitable for. Corundum bricks have excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high-temperature strength, load softening temperature, creep, and other thermodynamic properties. It is widely used as a lining material for cracking, reforming furnaces, metallurgical industries, slag gasifiers, coal gasifiers, carbon black reactors, pulp waste liquid gasifiers, and other industrial furnaces in petrochemical and fertilizer industries.

The proposal for the solar park takes on a mixture of environmental responsibilities and experiments in the form of pursuing new solutions to our persistent energy problems. In the process of finding further efficient ways to travel, the older roads are left behind unused. To invigorate the older route and give it purpose, we propose to combine the hard science of solar energy experiments and the soft ideals and principles of interacting with nature through parks while researching environmental and sustainable energy studies. The solar park emerges through phasing, which initiates between the furthest point away from the faster new route and the slower old route. The pressure from incoming and outgoing traffic engages the parts that are existing agriculture, indicated in yellow, and introduces the areas that can be allocated for solar energy collection and sustainable energy experiments, indicated in blue. We propose to convert the slower route as a bike route and along which both the agriculture and solar park begin mixing. The final phase would introduce a terracing technique along the side of the mountain when the solar park begins expanding past the plateau of the mountain and wind power collection coming of the sea along the viaducts. The introduction of the solar park can appear anywhere along the highway and can spread the entire stretch of Calabria from Bagnara Calabra to Scilla. The provisional cost for the first and second phases would be estimated lower than the cost of the destruction of the older route. Depending on how successful the solar proposals are in the first two phases, ideally the first two phases would self generate the costs of the third phase.


text: A numerical simulation code was developed for estimating the surface temperature of POM wear test with different shapes. By using the developed code, the effect of sliding geometry with various contact areas on the surface temperature was numerically investigated. The simulation results show that the limiting sliding velocity depends on contact area and reaches a peak value at a certain geometry. It was also found that the simulation code leads an exact prediction of limiting velocity in the range of small contact area. This is important since the exact temperature measurement is very difficult in this range.

Areca palm is one of the popular houseplants which can served as both decorative indoor plant and air purifying indoor plant. But does Areca plant can really purify indoor air and make it fresh?
Yes, the leaves of the Areca palm have an air-purifying effect.
The Areca palm is one of the houseplants that also like to be used in office-like working environments because polluted air is very well tolerated. In fact, this palm filters the polluting particles from the air inhaled by the leaves and therefore has an air-purifying effect. The plant itself is not bothered by it at all and converts the air particles that are bad for us into green growth. The space agency NASA has conducted research into the air-purifying effect of plants and it turned out that the Areca palm removes xylene and toluene in particular from the air very well. Both are toxic solvents that are mainly used in paints, resins, inks, etc. In addition to being an excellent air purifier, the Areca palm also proved to be a perfect humidifier.
The origin of Areca Palm
This feather palm is often called Areca palm, but this African species no longer belongs to the Arecas, not even to the Chrysalidocarpus palm genus, of which it was the only species for a long time. No, the botanists have decided that it should now be called Dypsis, with only one species again: Dypsis lutescens. The real Arecas come from Asia, the Dypsis (formerly Chrysalidocarpus) is originally only found on the African island of Madagascar and has conquered the world as an exotic houseplant from there. It is not a tall, trunk-forming palm, but it forms spreading clumps of stems from the roots. On those stems appear the 90-120 cm long, pinnate leaves that fall off when they have done their job and new leaves take over their job of light energy converters.
The Dypsis lutescens (let's just call it Areca palm) grows slowly and can get very old. In a light spot and at normal room temperatures it will grow 15-20 cm per year. The plant can reach a final height of about 200 cm with its leafy stems, but the number of stems in the pot will therefore increase.
How to take care of Areca Palm
Place your Areca palm in a bright spot, but not in bright sunlight. The winter sun is not that bright, but this palm can have winter sunlight in the room or conservatory. Make sure that the (night) temperature does not drop below 13 °C. Lower temperatures are too cold for the Areca palm. Make sure that the root ball (also in winter) always remains moist and ensure a sufficiently high humidity. Spraying the leaves every now and then is very good, also to remove the dust from the leaves. Water generously on the roots, allow to drain gently and pour off excess water afterwards. The plant does not like 'wet feet'. For ease of care, it is advisable to place the plant in a decorative pot on a saucer. Give less water at lower temperatures. During the growing period, add liquid plant food (for green leafy plants) to the irrigation water every fourteen days. The rest period of this palm falls with us in the winter.
Older plants may flower. They then form the clusters of flowers known from other palm species (such as the date palms), from which the berry-like, golden-yellow fruits later develop. Growers use the seeds from these fruits to grow young palms, but the Areca palm is also propagated by removing ground shoots and growing them separately. Both the sowing and the separate potting of ground shoots (which must then be rooted) is done in the spring.
Gardening is my passion and growing plants indoors has always been a stress relief for me. Grow a banana tree in my apartment once (although failed to produce bananas).

Ad Hoc
Ad Hoc is a Latin phrase meaning literally "for this".
Common examples are ad hoc committees, and commissions created at the national or international level for a specific task. In other fields, the term could refer, for example, to a military unit created under special circumstances, a tailor-made suit, a handcrafted network protocol (e.g. Ad Hoc network), a temporary banding together of geographically-linked franchise locations (of a given national brand) to issue advertising coupons, or a purpose-specific equation.
Ad Hoc can also be an adjective describing the temporary, provisional, or improvised methods to deal with a particular problem, the tendency of which has given rise to the noun Adhocism.[1] It also could mean shifting contexts to create new meanings or inadequate planning.

How to Use Pushbullet to Bridge the Gap Between All Your Devices
Pushbullet, the service that acts as a bridge between your mobile and desktop OSes, sets the gold standard for developer updates. If you haven't used it recently (or ever), this is a great time to check out all the cool stuff it can do.
The Basics: Push Anything to Any Device
How to Use Pushbullet to Bridge the Gap Between All Your Devices
Way back in the day, Google introduced a Chrome extension called Chrome to Phone that would allow you to push links from your desktop to your phone with a single click. It worked okay. Pushbullet, on the other hand, picked up where that extension left off, allowing users to push text, links, files, maps and more. Not only could you push from your desktop to the phone, but you could also push data in the reverse direction: from your phone to your computer. Or from one device to many others. Or even from your device to a friends! We'll explain how to do all of those (and much more) but first you'll need the apps or the extensions. Here are download links for various platforms:
Pushbullet also utilizes Chrome's rich notification system to show you notifications that have been mirrored from your device (more on that later) or sent from the Pushbullet app to your browser. Firefox has a similar toast notification function, though it's slightly less robust (for example, Chrome allows you to dismiss a notification on your phone from the desktop, while Firefox does not).
From any of these apps or extensions, you can send something to any of the others. Here are the basics that have been around in Pushbullet for a while:
 - Send links between devices: From your desktop, using the Chrome or Firefox extension, you can send a link to your phone or tablet with the click of a button. If you're on the page you need to send, Pushbullet will automatically fill in the title and link, so you just have to pick the device and hit push.
 - Copy files to other devices: Pushbullet can copy files from one device to another, including pictures, videos, music files, PDFs, APKs, and just about anything else that you can copy. While Dropbox is a pretty good solution for some file movement, being able to push a file directly from one device to another without a middleman can be useful.
 - Open an address in your maps app: One of the sucky things about Chrome to Phone getting abandoned is that moving a Maps location from your desktop to your phone is a little harder. If you're in Maps on the desktop, you can send a link from where you're at. You can also send an address without opening up Maps at all with the address function. Both options open directly in the Maps app on Android. iOS requires you to open the address in the Pushbullet app first, but then it will jump to your maps application.
 - Push a link to someone else's phone: While you'll have to add them as a contact in Pushbullet first, you can send pushes to a friend's phone by simply changing the target device. If you've ever had to open a messaging or email app just to share a link with someone, you can immediately see how much nicer this is.
Pushing links from one place to another is just the start, though. Pushbullet aims to be the glue that holds your devices together, filling in the gaps where typical syncing software fails.
Send and Receive Text Messages on Your Computer
How to Use Pushbullet to Bridge the Gap Between All Your Devices
As any Google Voice user could tell you, sending text messages from your desktop is way easier than tapping it out on a phone. While services like MightyText exist solely for this purpose, Pushbullet rolls it into the rest of its software suite. With the feature enabled, you can get a desktop notification when you receive an SMS, reply from the pop-up, or even initiate an SMS conversation yourself.
There are a couple downsides to this, though: for starters, iPhone users don't seem to have this functionality yet (possibly due to restrictions on iOS). And MMS and group messages don't seem to be supported at all, though the developer says he hopes to add it. Nonetheless, simple SMS is still plenty useful.
Receive and Dismiss Notifications on Your Phone or Tablet from Desktop
How to Use Pushbullet to Bridge the Gap Between All Your Devices
One of the neatest features of Pushbullet on Android is that it can mirror your notifications on your desktop. You can do this en masse or on a per app basis. The app accomplishes this by using the notification listening service (which is why it doesn't work on iOS, unfortunately). Enable notification mirroring on your Android phone or tablet and then install the Pushbullet extension on Chrome or Firefox. From then on, any notification you get will show up on your desktop. You can even dismiss them from your phone, which makes it particularly handy for managing all the notifications that build up during the day.
Of course, all of this functionality is built right in. You didn't come here for the stuff you already knew you could do, did you? Let's get to the fun stuff.
Sync Your Clipboard Across All Devices
How to Use Pushbullet to Bridge the Gap Between All Your Devices
Pushbullet already helps make it easier to copy a bit of text from one device to another with the push of a note. However, syncing your clipboard could make it even easier. So they made it happen. To turn on universal copy and paste, go into Settings on the devices you want to sync and check the box to turn it on. This option is device-specific and not account-wide, so you can enable it on just your phone and desktop if, for example, you don't want a tablet interfering.
Once the feature is turned on, you'll never actually "see" it in action, but it works behind the scenes. In our tests, there was a couple seconds of lag compared to normal cut and paste (it is traveling over the internet after all), but your clipboard contents are simply replaced with whatever the last thing you copied on any device was. A warning though: this can cause some security issues if you're using it on a shared device, so be sure that you only enable it on trusted devices. Alternatively, don't copy your passwords or credit card info to the clipboard.
Subscribe to Cool Content with Pushbullet Channels
How to Use Pushbullet to Bridge the Gap Between All Your Devices
In the first section, we talked about how you can send or receive links from someone else's phone. Well, it's not just people you know that can push stuff to your phone. Pushbullet also has its own Channels you can subscribe to that will send you updates. These are a bit like custom RSS feeds, but instead of being consolidated in a reader app, they go straight to your notification shade.
Unfortunately, at the moment, it doesn't seem that you can create your own channels. However, there are several useful ones to choose from. You can get updates on Steam deals, CyanogenMod announcements, or even certain webcomics like The Oatmeal. In the latter case, any fan can tell you that updates are irregular, so getting a notification is especially handy.
Suppose you'd like to get notifications of something not on the list, though. Well, Pushbullet can help with that, too.
Create Pushbullet Recipes with IFTTT
How to Use Pushbullet to Bridge the Gap Between All Your Devices
The IFTTT channel for Pushbullet has already been populated with hundreds of recipes that allow the service to send notifications directly to your phone, tablet, or PC when certain criteria are met. You can browse the entire channel here.
This section actually has a bit of overlap with a similar service, Pushover, which we've covered before. While both services can send notifications to your device via IFTTT, Pushbullet excels by making it easier to send thing between devices manually, as well as having Tasker integration which we'll get to next. If you're more inclined to write your own code, however, Pushover might be worth your attention. That being said, here are some examples of what you can do with Pushbullet and IFTTT.
Get Notified of Stock Prices
The stock channel on IFTTT allows you to find out if a particular stock has dropped or risen by more than a set percent, or simply to check in at the end of the trading day. Data for stock trading is provided by Yahoo! Finance.
Find Out When a Package Changes Status
If you're like me, then any time you're expecting a package, you're constantly refreshing Fedex's website like a mad man, anyway. Instead, you can have IFTTT send a notification directly to your phone any time your package changes status. For now, it seems the shipping channel can't filter out any status except "delivered" (which is the only one we care about), but it's still helpful.
Push a Voice Message to Other Devices
IFTTT allows you to call in to a dedicated number and leave a voice message for yourself (or others!). With the Pushbullet channel, you can send that voice message directly to your tablet or desktop. The notification will include an audio file of the recording that you can download to any of your devices.
Find Out When the Weather is Crappy
Okay, you probably have somewhere in the area of hundreds of apps on your phone that can retrieve the weather. However, Pushbullet and IFTTT can send weather alerts directly to your phone or desktop. You can get a daily reminder of tomorrow's forecast, receive a notification if it's going to rain tomorrow, or just get today's weather report every morning.

Develop methodologies, data, and indicators to advance the use of physical accounts of material throughput in the U.S. economy as a tool for formulating national environmental policies.
Materials Flow Accounts track the physical flows of natural resources through the U.S. economy including the mass mobilized during extraction, production, fabrication, use, recycling, and final disposal, and accounting for losses to the environment at each stage. The World Resources Institute is committed to the notion that Materials Flow Accounts (MFA) hold great promise for providing a sound basis to coordinate environmental and economic policy formulation across national governments. In its current phase, the Material Flow Analysis project at WRI will compile and analyze the Materials Flows Accounts of the United States and encourage the government and other institutions to use these data and indicators in policy formulation.
Starting in the Fall of 2002, the WRI project began building a Materials Flow Accounts database for the US in cooperation with several US agencies. This phase of the project represents both a formalization of WRI's past MFA work as well as an opportunity to refine the methodology. Our goal is to improve MFA data compilation and analysis in a way that it can be implemented by agencies of the U.S. government.
The MFA project emphasizes three main approaches to achieve the desired outcome for this phase: (i) Developing the latest and best MFA data and indicators for the U.S., (ii) analyzing data and critical indicators, and (iii) gaining adoption of national level Materials Flow Accounts and associated indicators by the U.S. government. Though distinct, these approaches reinforce one another by relying on the same data and data formats while using different tools for analysis. As an example, our work on MFA can support the goals of the Office of Solid Waste at USEPA through several applications including:
- To test the material flow account approach to priority substances for more effective national chemicals policy,
- To generate national waste estimates that extend beyond the regulatory universe, and
- To furnish a framework for relating reductions in municipal waste streams with overall waste streams.
Because institutional cooperation lies at the heart of this effort, the MFA project aims to identify institutional challenges within the government and work to lower the barriers to implementing this activity at the federal level. The project involves actively engaging key federal agencies, and maintaining close connections with other relevant institutions abroad drawing on our extensive international contacts.

His question: How can I provide the comma separated list of ints... How does this not answer his question? – Abe Miessler Jan 3 at 21:23
Because the correct answer is: It can't be done this way! You can't provide a single parameter that will work in an IN clause with a string parameter. A table-valued parameter might work, a string parameter will not work. Now, I understand that you answered the question that was asked, but my point is that you need to answer the question that was implied: how to make this work. Answer: It can't. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 23:12
Alright, fair enough. – Abe Miessler Jan 3 at 23:17

You can't, you have to create some helper function that replaces :ListOfInts with ( for example ) :I0,:I1,:I2... and pass the parameter by adding one by one in code. The function you want is gracefully emulated by Dapper.Net in its list support.

This answer is correct, as opposed to the accepted one and other 3-upvoted one. You can of course use a bunch of parameters, and inject those, basically getting an SQL like where id in (_USER_, _USER_, _USER_,...). Also there are Table-valued parameters now, but I don't know if/how they can be leveraged to actually use 1 parameter to specify the list of "IN"-values to match against. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 20:26
add comment
Use the Join method of string on the Array of Ints. You can mention comma as the seperator
List ints = new List();
string concatenatedIds= string.Join(",", ints.ToArray());
The output (value in concatenatedIds) will be 4,6,2. You can use that string as the parameter value for your IN clause
share|improve this answer
While this will add a parameter just fine, it will not work with an in (_USER_) clause in the SQL. Parameters doesn't work that way. Wishful thinking, I know, but no. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 20:27

I think the only possible solution is to pass comma-separated values, which you can convert to a table in SQL using a function. Here is the function I am using
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.CSVToList (_USER_ varchar(3000))
 RETURNS _USER_ TABLE (Value varchar(30))
 Value varchar(30)
 _USER_ varchar(30),
 _USER_ int
 SET _USER_ = LTRIM(RTRIM(_USER_))+ ','
 SET _USER_ = CHARINDEX(',', _USER_, 1)
 IF REPLACE(_USER_, ',', '') <> ''
 WHILE _USER_ > 0
 SET _USER_ = LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(_USER_, _USER_ - 1)))
 IF _USER_ <> ''
 INSERT INTO _USER_ (Value) VALUES (_USER_)
 SET _USER_ = RIGHT(_USER_, LEN(_USER_) - _USER_)
 INSERT _USER_
and you can use the following code (for example) to perform operations:
DECLARE _USER_ varchar(100)
SET _USER_ = '30,32,34,36,40'
 ProductID IN (SELECT * FROM dbo.CSVToLIst(_USER_))
I took the code from here: _URL_
Hope it helps.

I forgot to say that you have to use the String.join method to aggregate all values and then pass them as parameters to the SQL code. – Umar Jamil Jul 16 '12 at 16:14

The best way to handle this is to keep the list in the database, such that you could write a select query to return the values in your list. The question is, how can you do this when the data originates at the client? Most of the time, this data is hand-picked by the user, one record at a time. In that case, you can use a table (think: "shopping cart") that adds records for the values one at a time, as the user selects them. If it's more of a batch job, you may want to use a BulkInsert process to create the records.

You don't state which database you are using, but if it is SQL Server 2008+ you may also want to consider Table Valued Parameters.
For your example the added complexity may not be worthwhile, but they can be useful in other scenarios.

Effective Tax Rate Formula
In a very simple language, the effective tax rate is the average rate of tax at which the income of a corporation or an individual is taxed. In the case of an individual, it can be calculated by taking a ratio of total tax expenses and taxable income and for corporations, it is calculated by dividing total income tax expense by the earnings before taxes. We should always keep in mind that the effective tax rate is not the same as the statutory tax rate or the marginal tax rate. The statutory tax rate is the dollars amount of tax levied per $100 of taxable income. On the other hand, the marginal tax rate is the rate which is applicable to additional income earned. Generally, income tax is progressive in nature. Which implies that the income is segregated into slabs and higher income slab will carry higher tax rate and vice versa. So all the income will not be taxed at the same rate and we can see what the effective tax rate is by dividing the total tax with total taxable income.
Formula For Effective Tax Rate :
Examples of Effective Tax Rate Formula (With Excel Template)
Let's take an example to understand the calculation of Effective Tax Rate in a better manner.
Effective Tax Rate Formula – Example #1
In many countries, an individual's income is divided into tax brackets and each bracket is taxed at a different rate. Let's take an example of Tax calculation in the US for individuals.
Following are the tax brackets for a single individual:
Let's say Antony is a financial analyst. His annual income is $100,000 and he put some of his income in tax savings financial instruments. Let assume that amount to be $20,000. So his taxable income is $80,000.
Since the lower limit is zero so the value of Taxable Income will be 9,325 i.e. upper limit.
Calculation of 2nd Tax Bracket:
Similarly, we will calculate the taxable income for the 3rd bracket.
4.9 (3,296 ratings)
To find his effective tax rate, we need to find the tax expenses based on the above brackets.
Similarly, calculate Tax Expense for other brackets.
Then we have calculated the total of Antony's Taxable income and a total of tax expense as follows,
Effective Tax Rate is calculated using the formula given below
Effective Tax Rate = Total Tax Expenses / Taxable Income
- Effective Tax Rate = 15,738.75 / 80,000
- Effective Tax Rate = 19.67%
If you see closely, you will get to know the difference is all the three tax rates. The tax rate on every bracket is the statutory tax rate. The incremental tax rate (15% on 28,625 and 25% on 42,050) is basically the marginal tax rate. So we can see that the effective tax rate is lower than the marginal tax rate but higher than the lowest bracket income tax. The reason for that is the progressive nature of taxation.
Effective Tax Rate Formula – Example #2
Below is the extract of Amazon's financial statements to calculate the effective tax rate for a corporation.
Effective Tax Rate is calculated using the formula given below
Effective Tax Rate = Total Tax Expenses / Earnings Before Taxes
- Effective Tax Rate = 1,197,000 / 11,270,000
- Effective Tax Rate = 10.6%
- Effective Tax Rate = 769,000 / 3,802,000
- Effective Tax Rate = 20.2%
Because of the progressive tax system, all the income will not be taxed at the same rate. So individuals and companies will pay different tax for a different level of income. Effective tax rate helps us in comparing companies and taxpayers. For individuals, they might not have much leeway to decrease their effective tax rates, but for corporations, it plays a vital role and they take various measure to reduce that amount.
Every business has a unique structure, business plan, circumstances, and tax implications. Because of which, every company has a different effective tax rate which it pays. For example, companies who are not doing well and had experienced financial losses in the past, they can use their losses to decrease their taxable income. Also, for research and development costs, there are tax breaks from the government which can affect not only net income but applicable income tax rates. Similarly, corporations with operations in different countries, they may strategically choose to expand operations in those countries where the tax rates are most favorable. So in a way, they will reduce their tax amount which otherwise they have to pay if they have not chosen that country.
Relevance and Uses of Effective Tax Rate Formula
The effective tax rate is one of the measures which investors use as a profitability indicator for a company. This value can change in any direction and sometimes the changes are very drastic. But it cannot be interpreted immediately why it has happened. Sometimes this happens due to operational efficiencies or limitations. But sometimes companies can indulge in activities like asset manipulation so that they can reduce their tax burden. So one should keep a close eye on that.
It can also help us in comparing the actual tax liability of the company. For example, Let say there are 2 companies A & B who are in the same bracket of a marginal tax rate of 25%. But this will not give us a clear picture of the tax exposure of these businesses. We need to see what the effective tax rate is and then compare. So if company B has more money which is taxed at 25% than A, it will have to pay a higher effective tax rate compared to A. So if we say effective tax rate of company A is 18.5% and B is 21.3%, this will be a more accurate reflection of a company's tax liability.

Unbound: Ukrainian Canadians Writing Home
What does it mean to be Ukrainian in contemporary Canada? The Ukrainian Canadian writers in Unbound challenge the conventions of genre – memoir, fiction, poetry, biography, essay – and the boundaries that separate ethnic and authorial identities and fictional and non-fictional narratives. These intersections become the sites of new, thought-provoking and poignant creative writing by some of Canada's best-known Ukrainian Canadian authors.
To complement the creative writing, editors Lisa Grekul and Lindy Ledohowski offer an overview of the history of Ukrainian settlement in Canada and an extensive bibliography of Ukrainian Canadian literature in English. Unbound is the first such exploration of Ukrainian Canadian literature and a book that should be on the shelves of Canadian literature fans and those interested in the study of ethnic, postcolonial, and diasporic literature.

"Unbound: Ukrainian Canadians Writing Home is a book about what it means to belong to an ethnos, if not an ethnic community, in a globalized world, and how a sense of identification with one's ancestral past rubs up against one's present, creating sparks that can help fire the literary imagination.
A postmodern mash-up of memories, critical reflections, creative ruminations, and pointed questions that probe the boundaries of one's own skin and sense of kin, the contributors' essays grapple with their conflicted identities with a frankness that is frequently uncomfortable, yet more often than not, liberating. Their craft and artistry provides food for thought that goes well beyond the stereotypes of borscht and cabbage rolls."

Local Assets
Components usually need assets, such as images, videos or any kind of data files, Stencil includes certain features to make this task easy.
Component's assetsDirs
Lets dive in and look at an example of how to use local assets:
Below is an example of your Component's folder structure containing the component, the stylesheet, and an assets directory.
Below is the stencil-asset.tsx file which will correctly load the assets based on a property called src.
import { Component, Prop, getAssetPath, h } from '_USER_/core';
 tag:'stencil-asset',
 styleUrl:'stencil-asset.css',
 assetsDirs: ['assets']
export class StencilAsset {
 _USER_() image = "sunset.jpg";
 render() {
 return
As you can see from this example, the component decorator has the assetsDirs property, which points to the./assets folder, this instructs the Stencil compiler to copy that folder into the distribution folder (dist or www).
Then, within the component's logic, the getAssetPath function (imported from _USER_/core) is used to determine the absolute path from where the assets should be loaded from.
Use Cases
Some use cases we have come up with are:
 - Loading from a collection of SVGs
 - Loading and applying fonts on demand
 - Loading images or videos


I want to know whether a given neural network (with a finite number of nodes) is able to store all injective maps f: D -> C, where D has cardinality k and C has cardinality N (so the number of maps is N! over (N-k)! ). For example is a network with 1000 nodes able to store 60 injective maps from {1,2,3} to {1,2,3,4,5}?
(By storing information I mean something like: when classifying information the network can access and use the information)
In particular I was curious if the above question can be translated to a question about the VC-dimension of a neural network. Can a question about storing injective maps in a neural network be translated to a question about the VC-dimension of a neural network?
EDIT: I'm interested in something like the following result
There are 60 functions, note that we can represent this with 6 bits The codomain consists of 5 elements, which can be encoded by 3 bits (since 5 < 2^3) We need to map 3 elements of the domain to an element of the co-domain, so we need 3 times 3 bits for each function So to encode 60 functions we need 60 * 3 * 3 bits
In general we need (N! / (N-k)! ) * k * log_2(N) bits Note that (N-k+1)^k < N! / (N-k)! < N^k and even (N-k)^k < (N! / (N-k)! ) * k * log_2(N) < N^k
One weight in a neural network is 32 bits If we have X weights, then we have X*32 bits
So if X*32 is smaller than log_2(N-k) * k, then it's not possible to express all the functions in the network [I'm actually more interested in negative results like the one I gave, sorry if that's confusing. Positive results are welcome as well.]
 - $\begingroup$ I'm not sure what your question is. It sounds like you've already got an answer, so I'm not sure what you need us for. $\endgroup$ – D.W. Oct 3 '20 at 21:36
You're probably not going to get a theoretical answer, because analyzing exactly what set of functions can be computed by a particular neural network is messy. Or, at least, you probably won't get a tight analysis. There are theorems showing that neural networks are universal approximators, meaning that given sufficient capacity it is possible to express every function, but this doesn't tell you the minimize size needed to express every function; it just tells you that there exists a size that is large enough.
However, if you're willing to accept empirical evidence rather than theorems and proofs, research has demonstrated empirically that if you choose a deep neural network architecture with sufficient capacity and you train for long enough, neural nets can memorize the training set and achieve 100% accuracy on the training set, at least for a randomly chosen function $f$ [1]. This may not tell you exactly what size neural network you need to ensure that it can express all such functions, and it's not a proof or a guarantee.
The VC dimension is beautiful theory but it's not clear it has a great deal of relevance to modern use of neural networks in practice.

Attributes can be assigned to products. These allow PULPO WMS to identify any custom information that comes from the ERP system or any other source for better performance and control of tasks and processes within the warehouse. Attributes can contain (metadata) data used by third-party systems, which PULPO WMS itself does not need.
The open and publicly documented API of PULPO WMS makes it possible to quickly connect different systems. If required, PULPO WMS can also be used as an information hub to exchange important information between systems without these systems having to communicate directly with each other. This may be useful especially for older systems.
Examples of Data Transfer to Third-Party Systems: An order may e.g. receive important information for the TMS (Transport Management System) in its attributes.
Assigning attributes to products
Product Create/Edit dialog selected in the create and edit products process, attributes can be assigned by clicking the corresponding tab located at the right side of the screen.
The following information must be filled:
Attribute: Define a custom name for the product's attribute
Value: Assign (if necessary) a numeric value for the attribute
An attribute, for example, could be:
Storage_temperature : 5 °C
This attribute will remain with the product through every task and process that PULPO WMS performs so that users and third parties can easily identify the product's customized information.
Example of URL image attribute:
Suppose you would like to create a product that carries an attribute related to a URL image. PULPO WMS allows this type of attributes to better recognize and identify products in the warehouses:
First, a product must be created in PULPO WMS. This can be done manually in the Web App by following the steps explained in the create/edit products article.
Suppose you created a product called "Television". When it comes to assigning the product's attribute, you can fill in the URL information you want regarding the television. Simply type: "image_url" as the name of the attribute and paste the image link in the value field. Then click on the
3. PULPO WMS will then display, in the detailed information of the product, the corresponding URL image, thus allowing it to improve the visualization of any product from the list.

The royal string band at the English Court had its origins in a six-man consort from Italy, brought to England by Henry VIII in the spring of 1540. Peter Holman's book charts the history of this institution from its beginnings to the time of Purcell. He considers the previous history of instrumentalists at court, the role of the court band in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and its influence on the dance music of the period. The establishment of the band at the English court is set in the context of the violin's place in Europe in the sixteenth century, as the author considers the origins of the instrument and discusses contemporary references to violin bands in court, town, and church. The development of the violin band is traced by reference to an immense amount of documentary information, much of it new. The first thorough treatment of this subject, Peter Holman's book will be welcomed for the new light it sheds on large areas of musical history.

I'm comparing hourly data measurements recorded for 5 years (2007-2011) where the number of measurements in each year is as follows:

2008 = 8784 measurements; <-- leap year
2009 = 8760 measurements;
2010 = 8760 measurements;

What is the best method for comparing each time series? Is it better to add an additional 24 measurements (of nans) for february 29th for the non leap years? or, is it more efficient to interpolate the data onto the same time frame (where time is given in decimal day of year)?

That depends entirely on the kind of data you are measuring. If it's natural-world stuff like weather data, you probably care more about matching solstice to solstice and equinox to equinox. If it's financial market data, you may want to line up calendars and possibly exclude the leap day entirely.
It's difficult to give more specific advice without more background.

The role of nurses in recognising and reducing vulnerability
The role of nurses in recognising and reducing vulnerability
Who this event is for
 - Everyone
Jane Ashley Lecture Theatre, Marston Campus, Headington Campus, Marston Road site
Professor Ruth Northway explores the nature of vulnerability and argues that nurses have an important role to play in its reduction.
Is vulnerability inevitable in the context of health care? Some groups of people (such as those with learning disabilities or dementia) are often considered to be particularly vulnerable but this should not be an inevitable consequence of belonging to a specific group. It can be reduced or even eliminated if we understand what it is that people are vulnerable to - and then work to reduce these factors and their impact.
You will learn about recommendations for change, based on the importance of nurses recognising and responding to potential vulnerability in a proactive way, and the challenges of such an approach for nursing practice, education and research.

The Catskill Mountain House
was a famous hotel near Palenville, New York
in the Catskill Mountains
overlooking the Hudson River Valley
, built in 1824. In its prime, from the 1850s to the turn of the century, it was visited by three U.S. presidents (U.S. Grant
, Chester A. Arthur
and Theodore Roosevelt
) and the power elite of the day.
The Mountain House's site, the "Pine Orchard," had long been famous for its panoramic views up and down the Hudson Valley and even beyond to the east. John Bartram
and James Fenimore Cooper
had both written about it in different contexts.
Artists and writers had discovered the Catskills some time earlier. Shortly after it was constructed, the Mountain House and its surroundings became a favorite subject for Washington Irving

A potion is a flask, bottle, or phial of liquid with magical properties, or occasionally some other liquid (such as acid or booze). Quaffing a potion bestows the full effects upon the quaffer. Some potions can be thrown at other creatures in order to affect them instead. Even if you miss, the vapors created (most potions are alcohol-based) sometimes affect those in the vincinity.
Certain potions can be dipped in other potions to create various effects and/or new potions. Dipping a potion into water will dilute it; a second dip will change it to water. Dipping a unicorn horn into a potion also changes it to water.

The LMIP uses the CAP standardized billable test (SBT) to establish a common basis for counting tests among laboratories. Unlike other
methods of test counting (relative value units [RVU] and unadjusted billable tests), the CAP standardized billable test eliminates billing,
accounting, and interpretation variations across institutions. The LMIP shields your institution from these data issues and ultimately
provides you the most accurate comparisons.
Many hospital-wide benchmarking tools do not define test counting methodology.
As a result, LMIP users have reported that laboratory cost per test - as measured
by hospital-wide benchmarking programs - can vary widely and external comparisons
can be misleading. For example, one participant in a hospital-wide benchmarking
program may "explode" profile tests and count each component individually, while
another participant may count the profile only once. The laboratory submitting
the higher test number will appear more productive, although that may not be the case.
Because this diversity in CPT code usage does not create "apple to apple" comparisons, the LMIP uses the SBT to insure that all laboratories count tests in a uniform manner. The SBT as a stable entity, provides management with a reliable tool to track laboratory operations over time.
The SBT is the primary measurement of output for participating laboratories. The SBT is defined as a test or procedure that meets all of the following criteria:
- Ordered by a physician or caregiver

CPP invests in for-profit US prisons
Source: _URL_
The Canada Pension Plan controls over $366 Billion dollars on behalf of 20 million Canadians. They're investing our monthly contributions to make sure we have money at retirement. Naturally, everyone wants them to play it safe when investing that money.
But have you considered exactly what are they investing in?
The Guardian quoted a CPPIB spokesman, saying, "CPPIB's objective is to seek a maximum rate of return without undue risk of loss. This singular goal means CPPIB does not screen out individual investments based on social, religious, economic or political criteria."
When I read that I hear warning bells. Do they really mean they will take any lucrative investment, even if it's an ethical quagmire?
The CPPIB's own ethics statement is clear:

tldr; only dollars matter; no screening of company ethics, only operations.
What drew my eye is their statement about about "private engagement." This is the term used for conversations concerning ethical or moral issues with a company they are, or are considering, investing, in. The Board has decided they will never make these conversations public. Nor even acknowledge the conversations even occurred. They are also clear they refuse to bow to public pressure when deciding who and when to engage.
Let's be real here — the practical effect is that these conversations do not occur. That they could choose to invest into such a morally repugnant enterprise as a for-profit prison says all we need to know about the usefulness of "private engagement."
So to sum it up, all of the pension monies of millions of Canadians is being invested with absolutely no ethical considerations about how that money will be used.
Are we okay with this?
Can we develop a mechanism to trigger automatic, and public, engagement?

Crashed UFOs: The Bolivian Affair
Regardless of whether or not UFOs really have crashed to Earth, there can be no doubt that mentioning the words "crashed" and "UFO" in the same sentence inevitably brings the controversial Roswell, New Mexico affair of July 1947 to mind. But, there are numerous other cases on file that could, perhaps, be termed the "little brothers" of Roswell. And even though, as people may know from my Body Snatchers in the Desert book, I'm not a particularly big fan of crashed UFO cases, there are some that even I still find very intriguing, including the following…
The genesis of the affair in question appeared to come from a U.S. Department of State telegram transmitted from the American Embassy in La Paz, Bolivia, to the U.S. Secretary of State, Washington, D.C., on 15 May 1978. Captioned Report of Fallen Space Object, it detailed strange events then afoot in Bolivia.
It began: "The Bolivian newspapers carried this morning an article concerning an unidentified object that apparently recently fell from the sky. The object was discovered near the Bolivian city of Bermejo and was described as egg-shaped, metal and about four meters in diameter. The Bolivian Air Force plans to investigate to determine what the object might be and from where it came. I have expressed our interest and willingness to help. They will advise."
The author of the report added, with some significance: "Request the department check with appropriate agencies to see if they can shed some light on what this object might be. The general region has had more than its share of reports of UFOs the past week. Request a reply ASAP."
The Department of State was not the only branch of government that took an interest in the case, as a CIA report – also of 15 May 1978 – makes abundantly clear:
"Many people in this part of the country claim they saw an object which resembled a soccer ball falling behind the mountains on the Argentine-Bolivian border, causing an explosion that shook the earth. This took place on May 6. Around that time some people in San Luis and Mendoza provinces reported seeing a flying saucer squadron flying in formation."
The CIA continued: "The news from Salta confirms that the artificial satellite fell on Taire Mountain in Bolivia, where it has already been located by authorities. The same sources said that the area where the artificial satellite fell has been declared an emergency zone by the Bolivian Government."
Dated 16 May 1978 and titled Reports Conflict on Details of Fallen Object, a second CIA document reads thus:
"We have received another phone call from our audience requesting confirmation of reports that an unidentified object fell on Bolivian territory near the Argentine border. We can only say that the Argentine and Uruguayan radio stations are reporting on this even more frequently, saying that Bolivian authorities have urgently requested assistance from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration in order to determine the nature of that which crashed on a hill in Bolivian territory."
And the story progressed like this, said the CIA: "Just a few minutes ago Radio El Espectador of Montevideo announced that there was uncertainty as to the truth of these reports. Argentine sources indicated that the border with Bolivia had been closed but that it might soon be reopened. They also reported that an unidentified object had fallen on Bolivian soil near the Argentine border and that local Bolivian authorities had requested aid from the central government, which, in turn, had sought assistance from the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration to investigate the case."
Then things got even more curious, as the CIA made very clear: "A La Paz newspaper said today that there is great interest in learning about the nature of the fallen object, adding that local authorities for security reasons had cordoned off 200 km around the spot where the object fell. The object is said to be a mechanical device with a diameter of almost 4 meters which has already been brought to Tarija. There is interest in determining the accuracy of these reports which have spread quickly throughout the continent, particularly in Bolivia and its neighboring countries. Is it a satellite, a meteorite, or a false alarm?"
A perusal of the files of both the CIA and the Department of State reveals that on 18 May 1978 the U.S. Embassy in La Paz again forwarded a telegram to the Secretary of State, Washington, DC. Classified Secret, the telegram disclosed the following:
"Preliminary information provided has been checked with appropriate government agencies. No direct correlation with known space objects that may have re-entered the Earth's atmosphere near May 6 can be made; however, we are continuing to examine any possibilities. Your attention is invited to State Airgram A-6343, July 26, 1973 which provides background information and guidance for dealing with space objects that have been found. In particular any information pertaining to the pre-impact observations, direction of trajectory, number of objects observed, time of impact and a detailed description including any markings would be helpful."
Six days later a communication was transmitted from the U.S. Defense Attaché Office in La Paz to a variety of U.S. military and government agencies, including NORAD, the U.S. Air Force, and the Department of State. Its contents make for intriguing reading:
"This office has tried to verify the stories put forth in the local press. The Chief of Staff of the Bolivian Air Force told DATT/AIRA this date that planes from the BAF have flown over the area where the object was supposed to have landed and in their search they drew a blank. Additionally, DATT/AIRA talked this date with the Commander of the Bolivian army and he informed DATT that the army's search party directed to go into the area to find the object had found nothing. The army has concluded that there may or not be an object [sic], but to date nothing has been found."
So what exactly did occur on that fateful day back in May 1978? While the available U.S. Government records certainly point towards the probability that something out of the ordinary occurred, they also raise more questions.
The CIA's report of 15 May 1978 clearly stated that the object had fallen to earth on Taire Mountain, Bolivia, and had "already been located by authorities." Furthermore, on the following day, the CIA learned that the object had "been brought to Tarija." In contrast, the Bolivian Army and Air Force advised the U.S. Defense Attaché Office that their search for the mystery object had drawn a blank and nothing was found. Was the CIA misinformed, or were the Bolivians keeping the Department of State in the dark? Regardless, of the answers to those questions, the story does not end there.
Tantalizing information sand rumors suggest that the object may have recovered by U.S. authorities, and that both the CIA and NASA played key roles in the case. In June 1979 the crashed UFO researcher/author Leonard Stringfield was contacted by an Argentinean investigator, Nicholas Ojeda, who had some interesting data to impart with regard to the crash. According to Ojeda: "There is a report of a group of investigators who vanished mysteriously in the area. I really think something big happened in Salta. NASA investigated, but there was no news of it. I have to tell you that in La Paz, Bolivia, a huge Hercules C-130 carried 'something' from the area where the UFO crashed."
In addition, Stringfield's research led to a disclosure that a CIA source known to the researcher Bob Barry confirmed that the C-130 flight took place and that he was aboard the aircraft. "No comment" was the reply that Barry received when the issue of the aircraft's cargo was raised.
Unfortunately, the available evidence still does not answer that crucial question: What was it that crashed at Bermejo, Bolivia in May 1978? It seems unlikely that the object was a meteorite, primarily because of the description given in the Department of State's telegram of 15 May: "The object was…egg-shaped, metal and about four meters in diameter."
What of the possibility that the object had been a man-made satellite or rocket-booster? Again, that theory was thrown into doubt by the Department of State's Secret telegram of 18 May, which clearly stated that, "No direct correlation with known space objects that may have entered the Earth's atmosphere near May 6 can be made."
Moreover, what of the statement of the CIA that, "people in San Luis and Mendoza provinces reported seeing a flying saucer squadron flying in formation;" and the Department of State's revelation that, "the general region has had more than its share of reports of UFOs the past week?"
Faced with this overwhelming body of official evidence, we might be wise to give serious thought to this odd-but-intriguing affair. UFO, satellite, rocket-booster, or something else? Time may one day tell. Or, as with Roswell, the story may become just another ufological Jack the Ripper – a decades-old saga filled with countless theories, but – due to the long passage of time – one with no hard evidence to support any of those same theories. We'll see…maybe…

.NET Installer that automatically installs MSDE
By, 26 Jul 2008

Please Sign up or sign in to vote.
Often programmers want to build a single installer package that can install the application along with prerequisites and database. Fortunately for database, programmers can use MSDE which can be distributed along with your application, but MSDE lacks user interface so to configure it often we need to use command line.
This is the scenario:
 1. A programmer wants a single package that automatically installs.NET Framework and then installs MSDE and uses the database for the application that a programmer writes.
 2. In this tutorial, the installation will create a new database instance, with a name specified by the programmer, and it can detect whether this instance exists and as for removal, so for safety programmer just create a unique database instance name.
 3. The library then automatically attaches the database to this newly installed database instance. First I have written two projects which are required to be included in your solution. First is JohnKenedy.DataAccess and second is JohnKenedy.DataAccessModule. This is because the installation code is coming along with this library.
 4. The goal of this project is, user gets the installation files, double clicks the EXE, and clicks next and next following the instruction without the need to understand how to connect database, the database name, username, password and so on, user just clicks next and next, the application will install the.NET prerequisites, the database, and attach the database that programmer has created all automatically, and the application that programmer writes, runs and connects to the database without user knowing how to configure them. What user needs to know is only how to use the application that the programmer writes.
 1. Download the sample code I attach and extract it to D:\Software Pekerjaan\Makanan (I use for this example.)
 2. Assume the MenuMakanan project is the Windows Application project that you are creating and which is going to be deployed. From this project, add reference to library named JohnKenedy.DataAccess.
 3. Download MSDE by clicking here. Double click the.exe and by default it will extract to your C:\sql2ksp3. Copy the extracted contents to MenuMakanan project bin\debug\MSDE2000 folder.
 4. Detach your application's database to become MDF file, and copy the MDF file only to MenuMakanan project bin\debug\MSDE2000 folder. For this example, it is Food_Data.MDF which is contained in the download for example.
 5. In your application (MenuMakanan), add an Application Configuration file or app.config (in this sample, it already exists), and create two new keys in AppSettings section, read App.Config in sample for more information. Remember to set IsInstall=0, and IsRestart=0 as follows, because this will tell your application to install before running, IsRestart will be 1 if it is finished installing and requires to restart your computer so that the newly installed MSDE service is running.

 6. In your startup Form or form that is first run when application starts in this example is Login.cs, in the constructor after InitialilzeComponent, add codes that look like this:
 public Login()
 Installation _ins = new Installation(
 "Food", "JOHN", "MenuMakanan", "Food",
 if (_ins.IsDone == false) _ins.ShowDialog();
 if (_ins.IsRestart == true)
 3. Third is MenuMakanan, which is the new database instance that will be installed, this is similar with (local)\SQLExpress database instance that Microsoft installed when we install VS 2005, though this one is MSDE one. This name must be unique, and this database instance will only contain one database name which will be defined in the fourth parameter, and be used by your application only.
 5. Fifth is JOHNKENEDYDAL, which is the sa password for the newly installed MSDE, this password is required when you use Enterprise Manager (SQL 2000) to connect to the database instance.
 6. Food_Data.MDF is your MDF file name, that is stored in MenuMakanan project bin\debug\MSDE2000 folder. You can change this as it suits you.
Create Setup and Deployment Package
 1. Create a new Setup and Deployment project, in this sample it already exists with name SetupMakanan.
 2. In the application folder, create a new folder name MSDE2000, and inside this folder create three folder names Msi, MSM, and Setup. Then inside MSM folder, create a folder names 1033. This structure is the same with the MSDE extracted folder earlier in Step 3, we then add files to these folders MSDE2000, Msi, MSM, 1033, and Setup folder according to the MSDE extracted folders.
 3. Add Food_Data.MDF to MSDE2000 folder, because the Installation class will look for the filename in this folder. After step two and three, it will look like:
 Click here for a bigger image
 5. And then select the second radio button. Download prerequisites from the same location in my application. Click OK, and save.
 6. Build your whole solution, and then build SetupMakanan project, and you will see in SetupMakanan project debug folder Setup.exe SetupMakanan.msi, and two new folders, one is Windows Installer 3_1 and another is DotNetFX35 which are the.NET prerequisites.
This library is not fully for Installation, instead the library has Data Access feature, which article can be found here.
Installation is one of the features in the library I developed recently. I have tested the Setup package in a computer that never had.NET and database installed, and it did successfully install.NET and MSDE and run the application smoothly.

Rêve D Reve D RD-003-35 Aluminum Knuckle Stopper for RD-001 ASL Front Knuckle (3.5mm diameter, 2pcs)
Beschikbaarheid: Op voorraad (1)
RWD drift cars generally use a knuckle stopper (steering stopper) to adjust the maximum turning angle, but when maximizing the turning angle, many people use M3 set screws.
Even with the M3 set screw, the function of the stopper works, but the surface of the screw will hinder the movement of the suspension at the maximum turning angle.
This is where the [Aluminum Knuckle Stopper] comes into play!
Unlike the M3 set screw, the surface has no irregularities, so it does not hinder the movement of the suspension even at the maximum turning angle.
Furthermore, since it is made of lightweight aluminum, it is also effective in reducing weight by replacing it with an iron set screw.
The lineup consists of a Φ3.0mm and Φ3.5mm diameter part.
In addition to Φ3.0mm which realizes the maximum steering angle, Φ3.5mm which is an option when you want to control the steering angle only slightly is prepared.
Φ3.5mm is effective when the commercially available Φ4.0mm has insufficient steering angle and Φ3.0mm has too much angle!
If you are currently using an M3 set screw as a stopper or want to increase the steering angle more than a φ4.0mm stopper, please try it.
Screw 4.5mm
Pedestal diameter 5.5mm
Length from base to tip 16mm
Hexagonal hole dimensions 1.5mm across flats
* Above dimensions are suitable for RD-001 ASL Front Knuckle.
* If you use for the other knuckles, please check the dimensions of the knuckle, wheel before purchasing
