NOTE: In this article, Desert spoon and Dasylirionwheeleri may be used interchangeably; in fact, Dasylirionwheeleri is the botanical name for Desert spoon.
The desert spoon plant, also known as the spoon yucca plant, is a perennial shrub that is related to the Agave. A semi-succulent species, the plant grows at a moderate pace in dry, arid environments across Texas, parts of the Rio Grande Valley, the Pecos Valley in New Mexico, and parts of Arizona.
Why does my Dasylirionwheeleri roots have rot?
Root rot on your Desert spoon (Dasylirionwheeleri) can be fatal if not treated with care. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you follow our guide to keep your plant alive if the symptoms occur: Root soft and blackened.
Why does my Desert spoon have gray mold spots?
A particular fungus that frequently affects flowers and spreads quickly is known as gray mold spots. This fungus is most likely to blame if you see any brown (or gray) spots. Don't ignore these signs because doing so could cause your plant to die.
When you understand the root of the issue, the solution makes perfect sense. The majority of the time, it is caused by the Dasylirionwheeleri being overwatered. We urge you to cut off the infected roots and leaves, remove the affected sections of the plant, and then repot your plant in a fresh container with sterile potting soil.
Why does my Desert spoon have leaf spots?
We provide you with all the information you need to identify and save your plants if they display signs like leaves that suddenly change color or wilt/droop. This sort of sickness is one of the most aggravating for Desert spoon owners.
Why are my Desert spoon leaves turning yellow?
Yellowing leaves are arguably the most prevalent issue in the gardening world. Overwatering or a lack of nutrients are the 2 main causes of this issue.
Whether you think your plants are getting too much water, cut back on how often you water them, and take the following measures to see if they might be nutritionally deficient:
Here are some indicators of yellowing on the Dasylirionwheeleri brought on by its numerous flaws:
- The first symptom of a magnesium deficiency is yellow patches between leaf veins on elder leaves. The leaf's core turns yellow while the veins stay green. The edges of the leaf yellow last.
- Yellowing between leaf veins is another sign of iron shortage, but young leaves on plant tops and branch tips are initially affected.
- Sulfur deficiency starts with the newest leaves, turning them yellow throughout.
- Leaf edges turning bright yellow but inside leaf remaining green are signs of potassium insufficiency. The symptoms first appear on older leaves, and the leaf edges quickly become dark.
- A lack of nitrogen is indicated by a widespread yellowing. Older, inner leaves are the first to yellow. As the yellowing progresses, it eventually touches young leaves as well.
According to the symptoms mentioned above, you just have to act accordingly. You can reduce your watering frequency, or fix a deficiency in Potassium, or Nitrogen, for that, you just have to buy a special soil for your deficiency, a consultant in a gardening store will know perfectly well how to inform you.
Is my Desert spoon sunburned?
It is simple to determine whether your Desert spoon (your Dasylirionwheeleri) has sunburn. Your plant will change color in this instance, beginning to turn yellow or white, much like it does on us.
As we saw above, if your Desert spoon receives too much water or not enough light, the leaves may also change color.
To find out if the yellow leaves have been sunburned, look at the part of the bottom that is tinted closer to the base. The yellow leaf is probably burnt and not something else if this portion stays greener.
Why are my Desert spoon leaves turning brown?
Most of the time, leaves of a Desert spoon that turn brown is a sign that your plant has been sunburned, it has probably been exposed to too much direct sunlight. Don't panic, your plant probably won't die from this, but its growth will take a hit.
Should I leave my Dasylirionwheeleri in direct sunlight?
No! Don't leave your Dasylirionwheeleri (or Desert spoon) in the sun if it displays the symptoms mentioned above; that's why it's in such a bad situation.
The remedy, as said in the paragraph above, is simple: just move your plant's Desert spoon out of direct sunlight. Your plant should swiftly re-grow with this strategy and appropriate watering.
Why are my Dasylirionwheeleri leaves drooping or wilting?
This typically occurs when your Dasylirionwheeleri gets dehydrated. Large plants are more at risk since they naturally require more water than smaller plants.
You may quickly determine if your Dasylirionwheeleri plant needs water by under-weighing its pot; if it seems light, the soil and roots are probably fairly dry and require water.
If the soil in your plant's pot is completely dry, you will need to start by moistening it so that the roots will also benefit from the water. A common mistake is to drown the Desert spoon right after a dry period thinking that it needs a lot of water.
This is true, but the easiest way to end it is to give too much water at once. Instead, you should water the soil properly, returning to a peaceful watering rhythm.
Caring Tips for Dasylirionwheeleri
Water is essential to the survival of your plant, however, it is important to balance the rate of watering. As we explained above, overwatering could have fatal consequences for your Dasylirionwheeleri.
Touching the soil will let you know whether your plant needs water or not; if it still feels damp, it's generally best to wait a few more days.
Always keep temperatures stable
It is also a good idea to keep your Dasylirionwheeleri at a stable temperature (especially if it is kept indoors!). At GreenShack, we generally recommend staying in the 65 and 85 degrees F range. Of course, do not place your Dasylirionwheeleri near a source of hot (or cold) air such as A/C units, radiators or the like.
Keep your Desert spoon Dust-Free
This one relates to indoor plants. Just like your furniture, dust collects on the leaves of your indoor plants. The issue is that this can block the photosynthesis process from starting, which would cause the plants to gradually lose their color.
This would be a true journey into hell for your Desert spoon and would also satisfy the pests.
To remove the dust, gently rub the plant's leaves with a microfiber cloth. Dust can be removed more easily with a damp cloth, but stay away from corrosive substances like rubbing alcohol!
Keep drainage in mind
If you have a tendency to overwater, you need to keep an eye on your drainage, we advise you to opt for a pot with drainage holes if it is not already the case and a saucer.
If your pots don't already have holes in them, you can add volcanic rocks (or any other pebbles with holes) to the bottom of your pot in the meantime. This will assist in creating a channel and keep the water from pooling there for an extended period of time, protecting the roots from decay.

ETV before EMR
With the launch of electronic medical records (EMR/WakeOne) on September 22, it might be interesting to see how patient records were stored and transported in the past at the Medical Center.
The Electric Track Vehicle (ETV), dubbed "record runner" and described as an "oversized Lionel train," was the tunnel in which records were transported through the Medical Center. When installed in 1992, it saved about 10 to 15 minutes off each round trip.
Records were loaded into a "car", as shown by Dean Bates, a Medical Records file librarian, then transported. Initially, 12 cars rode the rails each day with 425 records.
Prior to the ETV, vans ferried clerks and their carts to Medical Records storage which looked like this in 1948.
Mr. Bates was featured in Around the Medical Center in 1992. Come visit Dorothy Carpenter Medical Archives to explore the history of the Medical Center in publications and artifacts.

A Review of Team Psychological Capital Research
Download as PDF
Suqin Shen, and Hui Tian
Team psychological capital reflects the consistency level of individual psychological capital. It is a collective positive psychological state formed by team members in coordination and interaction, and a collection of positive psychological capabilities that promote team development. This paper defines the connotation of team psychological capital through the study of related literature, and introduces the structure of team psychological capital: common vision, team effectiveness, team resilience, team optimism, and team belonging. Three measurement methods of team psychological capital are proposed: individual psychological capital sum method, individual evaluation average method, and overall discussion method. On this basis, this paper analyzes the antecedent and outcome variables of team psychological capital from the level of individual variables and organizational variables. Based on the theory of social infection and cognitive convergence, the formation mechanism of team psychological capital is analyzed, and the development and management measures of team psychological capital are finally put forward.

The DataPortal Query module allows querying of data in a Composable DataPortal using Entity SQL. It takes a DataPortal ID, an SQL query, and a list of objects as parameters and returns a Composable Table.
See below for a complete discussion of inputs and options.
The following example DataFlow demonstrates many of the possible ways to use the DataPortal Query module. This DataFlow uses the DataPortal Query sample DataPortal model, which creates a DataPortal called
DataPortalQuery by default. WARNING: this DataFlow deletes all existing data in the DataPortal, so only run it against a test DataPortal. You can change the name in the Excel file if you already have a
DataPortalQuery DataPortal, just be sure to select the right DataPortal when configuring the DataFlow.
Adding New Data
This DataFlow uses the DataPortal Sync module to add entries to the DataPortal we can query from. These will create 5 entries, each having two FamilyHistoryEntries.
Querying Data Using Entity SQL
To ensure the proper types are returned if the query produces no data, it is usually best practice to not use the VALUE keyword. The module will provide a warning if the user attempts to use it and no data is returned. The recommended way of returning all data from a table is as shown below:
There is no '*' selector in Entity SQL. If you want all the rows to be returned in a query you must manually specify them. For a full list of the differences between Transactional SQL queries and Entity SQL queries refer to the official documentation.
The output of the DataPortal Query module is a Composable Table. If the object is a one-to-one relationship such as Double, the value will simply be returned as it exists in the database. If the object is a one-to-many relationship in the case of FamHistoryEntries which is a Table, an error will be thrown. To reference these write a SQL query like the one shown here that joins the tables:
This is the Id for the DataPortal you wish to query. Simply click on it and select the DataPortal from the list that appears.
This is the SQL query you wish to execute on the DataPortal. Specific formatting can be found in the example.
This takes in a list of KeyValuePairs of type
Cases AS c
FamilyHistories AS h
ON c.Id = h.CaseId
WHERE h.HasFamilyHistory = _USER_


text: Silt Fences are temporary silt control devices that are designed to prevent the release of silt from a construction site. Silt fences prevent silt contamination of sensitive areas such as neighboring properties, streams, and sewer catch basins. A properly installed and maintained silt fence will collect silts before they can cause contamination requiring expensive clean up. Silt fences create a puddle behind the fence that acts as a "stilling basin" allowing silts to settle. Silt Fences are most often used on construction sites where the soil has been stripped of natural vegetation. The bare soil is easily eroded and can lead to the loss of silt in the event of a run-off event. The silt fence helps to prevent the movement of silt from the bare soil area to an adjacent area.

A Review of Dissimilar Welding Techniques for Magnesium Alloys to Aluminum Alloys
AbstractWelding of dissimilar magnesium alloys and aluminum alloys is an important issue because of their increasing applications in industries. In this document, the research and progress of a variety of welding techniques for joining dissimilar Mg alloys and Al alloys are reviewed from different perspectives. Welding of dissimilar Mg and Al is challenging due to the formation of brittle intermetallic compound (IMC) such as Mg17Al12 and Mg2Al3. In order to increase the joint strength, three main research approaches were used to eliminate or reduce the Mg-Al intermetallic reaction layer. First, solid state welding techniques which have a low welding temperature were used to reduce the IMCs. Second, IMC variety and distribution were controlled to avoid the degradation of the joining strength in fusion welding. Third, techniques which have relatively controllable reaction time and energy were used to eliminate the IMCs. Some important processing parameters and their effects on weld quality are discussed, and the microstructure and metallurgical reaction are described. Mechanical properties of welds such as hardness, tensile, shear and fatigue strength are discussed. The aim of the report is to review the recent progress in the welding of dissimilar Mg and Al to provide a basis for follow-up research. View Full-Text

4 Ways Visitor Management Systems Can Help Multiple Location Companies
It can be challenging enough managing visitors in a single location. If your organization has multiple sites, however, things can get much more complicated. Adopting the latest visitor management technology can help you implement location-specific security and safety measures, and ensure a consistent visitor experience across sites. Here, we'll go into four visitor management challenges faced by companies with multiple locations and how to solve them using a unified cloud-based visitor management system.
1. Multi-Location Visibility
If you're running a large organization, there's a good chance your company has a mix of locations that can range from offices, operational centers, distribution headquarters to logistics warehousing, and manufacturing facilities.
With a company operating in multiple locations, a big concern for security teams and upper management is the lack of visibility concerning visitor and employee movement throughout each site. It's vital to track employees, keep unwanted visitors out, and ensure the safety and security of the workplace at all times.
While the head of each facility can run a location-specific visitor management system, global, cloud-based visitor management software can synchronize data from all locations. This gives the head office a unified view of personnel and visitor activity to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
According to George Lossius, former CEO of Publishing Technology, "The key to multiple location management is to ensure that information is shared across the entire company simultaneously. [Businesses should] commit to communicating effectively and (relatively) frequently through one tool."
1. Multi-Location Visibility
With cloud-based systems, your security team and top-level management can remotely monitor all sites. In fact, any designated personnel can access the visitor management system from any device, with the ability to track real-time changes. Not only does this ensure management is up to date on the latest information related to company visitors, but sharing this information also creates a sense of community. It also allows management and security teams to compare, unify, or collaboratively modify processes and policies across sites.
2. Location-Specific Visitor Policies
While it's vital to create a sense of uniformity across all sites, every location has specific local requirements for its visitors and employees, particularly across different countries or regions. Cultures can differ significantly on a global and domestic scale, while regulations can also vary across borders.
Depending on the site, a system can include a run-through of safety requirements such as visitor screening, photo capturing, and the signing of waivers before visitors can enter the facility. Alternatively, a research lab may require all visitors to sign NDAs and limit visiting hours and access to certain areas of the building. A construction site might require visitors to wear a helmet and high visibility clothing before entering the location. Each facility is different.
2. Location-Specific Visitor Policies
Location-specific policies are essential to protect the company, employees, and visitors. With a flexible cloud-based visitor management system, on-site managers can create visitor profiles for their facility while being connected to a larger central hub. By empowering managers to make local decisions, it saves top management time while leveraging the managers' location-specific knowledge.
SwipedOn's visitor management system, for example, is highly customizable. It's designed to work across multiple industries and types of sites, including corporate offices, manufacturing, logistics, technology, aged care, media, and even the consumer goods industry.
3. Inconsistent Sign in Experiences
While each location will have its own visitor sign in policies and procedures, it is important for brand and community building continuity to provide visitors and employees with a familiar, user-friendly experience.
So, how do you accomplish global consistency while providing elements of localization? Create a look and feel that's consistent and familiar across all systems by leveraging your brand's identity. Use its colors, theme, style, and values.
3. Inconsistent Sign-in Experiences
Source Image
Did you know that color increases brand recognition by up to 80%? And brands that are consistently presented are 3 to 4 times more likely to experience brand visibility. Leveraging visuals and creating a consistent visitor sign in experience is one of the best ways to make a memorable impression on guests. You can also have key slogans, messages, and your company values available in the local language of a given site. This creates a globally connected yet locally appropriate experience.
4. Real-time Update Challenges
According to Jindou Lee, CEO and co-founder of HappyCo, "Every day, companies across virtually every industry collect countless data points...the faster their analytics systems can process and interpret this information, the faster they can generate a high-fidelity view of their operations."
Gaining real-time data and making real-time updates are highly advantageous to modern organizations, especially those with multiple locations. Data can improve operational efficiency, workplace security, and can provide valuable data to help evaluate and improve team performance standards. If you're using paper based systems or outdated software, gaining and analyzing data will be challenging, especially if you have multiple global offices with different time-zones.4. Real-time Update ChallengesFor example, if you're in San Francisco, USA and you need to update a visitor policy at a manufacturing plant in Shenzhen, China, it's almost impossible to do so without a global, cloud-based visitor management system. Outdated enterprise or intranet systems are slow and often don't support real-time updates. Slow updates reduce your team's efficiency, productivity, and progress. Moreover, the inability to make timely changes to a visitor policy or updates to your company's NDA can have grave consequences and be extremely costly to your company.
As a business with multiple locations, it's important to tackle your visitor management challenges head-on. SwipedOn's cloud-based visitor management system can quickly, effectively, and affordably solve these challenges. Find out how by signing up for a 14-day free trial.

Dating and courtship in the philippines sex dating in rock island washington
Courtship always has marriage as its direct goal...Dating, a more modern approach, begins when either the man or the woman initiates a more-than-friends relationship with the other, and then they conduct that relationship outside of any oversight or authority. Christian minister Patricia Bootsma delineates this distinction, writing that in contrast to the modern conception of dating, in "courtship, time together in groups with family or friends is encouraged, and there is oversight by and accountability to parents or mentors".Courtship is used by a number of theorists to explain gendering processes and sexual identity.Scientific research into courtship began in the 1980s after which time academic researchers started to generate theories about modern dating practices and norms.Unlike what is regularly seen in other societies, it takes a far more subdued and indirect approach.It is complex in that it involves stages, and it is considered normal for courtship to last a year or longer.

During courtship, a couple get to know each other and decide if there will be an engagement or other such agreement.In some societies, the parents or community propose potential partners, and then allow limited dating to determine whether the parties are suited.In Japan, there is a such type of courtship called Omiai, with similar practices called "Xiangqin" (相親) in the Greater China Area.The average duration of courtship varies considerably throughout the world.Furthermore, there is vast individual variation between couples.

NMI thread
From Nesdev wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Sprite 0 hit is used to split the screen.
There are three main ways that a game loop on the NES can be organized:
Main only
Game logic and output in the main loop, and only incrementing a flag in the NMI handler to let the main loop know that. The drawback is that it's very easy for music to slow down or for raster splits to fail if the game is using too much CPU time.
NMI only
Game logic and output with the NMI handler in an infinite JMP loop. always in this order: PPU, APU, read controls, game logic. For example, Super Mario Bros. uses this.
NMI and main
Game logic in the main loop, PPU and APU output in the NMI handler.
Waiting for vertical blank by waiting for the NMI handler to increment a flag is the simplest thing that could possibly work. And it does work for games without a status bar or for games whose upper limit on CPU use is easy to predict. It may also work for games whose mapper has a scanline counter that triggers an IRQ.
But once your game world becomes more complex, the simple method may cause problems. For example, consider a video game that has a status bar and several critters running around. It may occasionally take longer than one screen to process AI, physics, and display updates once enough critters with complex movement patterns are spawned, such as multiple Hammer Brothers in Super Mario Bros. or all the ducks turtles in the middle of World 3-7 of Super Mario Bros. 3. This will cause your game to slow down when an NMI occurs while your game is doing something else. And if your scanline counter is based on sprite 0 hit and not an IRQ, it will cause visual glitches as the status bar flickers.
So sometimes, it's useful to do more than the bare minimum in your NMI handler. To make a top status bar rock-solid in the face of excessive game logic, you can move VRAM uploads and sprite 0 handling into the NMI handler. The main program prepares VRAM updates in main RAM, and once the VRAM update request is ready, it turns on a flag VRAM_update_ready to let the NMI handler know. This is similar to multithreaded programming, but because the NMI handler itself is never interrupted, the locking can be much simpler than it is in multithreaded programming on a PC.
The NMI thread has these steps:
 1. Let the main program know that NMI has occurred, as in the simple method.
 2. Push all registers.
 3. If VRAM_update_ready is false, go to step 5.
 4. Copy data from the VRAM update request areas in RAM into VRAM and OAM.
 5. Set VRAM_update_ready to false.
 6. Set the scroll position using PPUCTRL and PPUSCROLL.

Hippocampal remapping as hidden state inference
TitleHippocampal remapping as hidden state inference
Publication TypeJournal Article
Year of Publication2020
AuthorsSanders, H, Wilson, MA, Gershman, SJ
Date Published06/2020
Cells in the hippocampus tuned to spatial location (place cells) typically change their tuning when an animal changes context, a phenomenon known as remapping. A fundamental challenge to understanding remapping is the fact that what counts as a ‚Äò‚Äòcontext change‚Äô‚Äô has never been precisely defined. Furthermore, different remapping phenomena have been classified on the basis of how much the tuning changes after different types and degrees of context change, but the relationship between these variables is not clear. We address these ambiguities by formalizing remapping in terms of hidden state inference. According to this view, remapping does not directly reflect objective, observable properties of the environment, but rather subjective beliefs about the hidden state of the environment. We show how the hidden state framework can resolve a number of puzzles about the nature of remapping.

Hrithik Roshan to share his fight against stuttering
314 0
While he recently voiced his support towards Deepika Padukone who courageously came out in the open to discuss about depression, Hrithik Roshan continues to spread awareness and talk about his fights and struggles to inspire his other fans. It is a renowned fact that Hrithik Roshan as a child faced several issues due to his stuttering. However, instead of bowing down to the constant stigma, he decided to fight.
In a recent interview, the actor expressed his concern to several people who continue to face social stigma when it comes to speech-related impediments and mentioned that he is contemplating with the idea of writing a book. His intention is to inspire people and boost them with self-confidence with his story that revolves around his way of overcoming struggles and stigmas.
Reminiscing about his battle with stammering, Hrithik described it as lonely and also revealed about how kids often were mean to him due to his stuttering. He further also stated that children often don't have as much information or knowledge to understand these kind of issues. Yet at the same time, he looks back at these incidents as something that gave him immense strength and belief in him.
Hrithik Roshan also went out to spread this message to his fans wherein he requested them to accept their shortcomings and use them as a stepping stone to grow.

About WWII Army Rank Chevrons
The US Army used a series of chevrons sewn on each sleeve to denote the ranks of PFC (private first class) up through all NCOs (Non-commissioned officers = Sergeants). Officers used collar insignia, not chevrons.
There are several types of chevrons used during WWII. As usual, reality and living historian fantasies often clash. Here is the historical reality. The three main styles of chevrons are wool, rayon and khaki.
In principle:
Khaki Chevrons were only for the khaki summer uniforms.
Wool Chevrons were for the Service Coats, Wool Shirts and "Ike" Jackets.
Rayon Chevrons were for Field Jackets.
However, in practice, the wool and rayon stripes can be found, originally sewn, on every style of uniform in the Army inventory. Khaki stripes are occasionally found on field and paratrooper jackets- I haven't seen them on wool shirts of service coats, but I wouldn't rule it out. There were also stencil kits issued allowing stripes to be painted directly onto field uniforms. Our grandfathers knew that rules are meant to be broken and often did so.
There is often some confusion on the background color of the wool and rayon insignia. It is actually a dark navy blue. Some appear to be black, and but in direct sunlight you can see that they are actually blue. The stripes themselves vary widelymany shades of olive or khaki can be found on originals. (Khaki chevrons use olive stripes on khaki background. The shade of olive varies greatly.) They were made by the million, so this is hardly a shock.
Again, being made by the million, there are numerous differences between manufacturers. Some are sewn, some folded, the weave varies, and many were sub-contracted in England. Left over insignia from World War One was also used, adding still more possibilities.
ATF reproductions:
In all cases, we copied originals. I chose those I consider to be among the most typical US produced varieties. All are excellent and very, very close to the original.

The Darvaza Gas Crater in Turkmenistan. Was it a UFO? Was it a plane crash? If so, then where is the UFO or plane? A meteorite maybe, that left right after crashing into the earth?
The Darvaza Gas Crater, known locally as the Door to Hell, is a pretty weird phenomenon. When approaching it, from far you might think it was a tourist trap. Nothing to see. But when getting closer… there is no fence surrounding it so the enormous heat is a welcome warning to stay away!
Darvaza Gas Crater
The Darvaza Gas Crater is a natural Gas field near Derweze, in Turkmenistan. What is actually funny… The fire, that obviously helped the Darvaza Gas Crater get even more popular, was not natural. Geologists set it on fire to prevent the spread of methane gas, and it has been burning continuously since then. So, Darvaza Gas Crater (diameter of the crater is 69 metres (226 ft), and its depth is 30 metres (98 ft)) is mainly just gas, set on fire 50 years ago.
It does feel like a waste, though. The gas reserve found here is one of the largest in the world and it just vanishes as warm air. In fact, the site was identified by Soviet engineers in 1971. It was originally thought to be a substantial oil field site. The engineers set up a drilling rig and operations to assess the quantity of oil available at the site. Soon after the preliminary survey found a natural gas pocket, the ground beneath the drilling rig and camp collapsed into a wide crater and was buried.
A true experience, that's for sure. Check out more pictures from Elliot about Darvaza Gas Crater in Turmenistan, on his website: Earth Nutshell

Main difference between URL-rewriting and URL-encoding is that URL-rewriting is a technique to maintain user session if cookies are not enabled on client browser or browser doesn't support cookie while URL-encoding is a way to pass string to server containing special characters by converting special characters like space into some other characters like +. people often confuse between URL encoding and URL rewriting because of there names which sounds quite similar for new guys but functionality wise they are totally different to each other, Also servlet encodeURL() method adds more confusion because its sounds like its used for URL Encoding but indeed used for URL Rewriting. This is also a very popular servlet and JSP interview questions, I have also shared some more questions on my posts 10 Servlet Interview questions answers and 10 JSP interview questions and answers for Java programmer.
Difference between URL Rewriting and URL Encoding in JSP Servlet
You often need to encode URL before sending it to server and need to rewrite URL with session id in order to maintain session where cookie is not present. here are some more differences between URL-rewriting and URL encoding in Servlet JSP
1) java.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse methods encodeURL(String url) and encodeRedirectURL(String URL) is used to encode SesssionID on URL to support URL-rewriting. don't confuse with name encodeURL() because it doesn't do URL encoding instead itembeds sessionID in url if necessary. logic to include sessionID is in method itself and it doesn't embed sessionID if browser supports cookies or session maintenance is not required. In order to implement a robust session tracking all URL from Servlet and JSP should have session id embedded on it.
In order to implement URL-rewriting in JSP you can use use JSTL core tag all URL passed to it will automatically be URL-rewriting if browser doesn't support cookies.
While java.net.URLEncoder.encode() and java.net.URLDecoder.decode()is used to perform URL Encoding and decoding which replace special character from String to another character. This method uses default encoding of system and also deprecated instead ofthis you can use java.net.URLEncoder.encode(String URL, String encoding) which allows you to specify encoding. as per W3C UTF-8 encoding should be used to encode URL in web application.
2) In URL rewriting session id is appended to URL and in case of URL-encoding special character replaced by another character.
That's all on difference between URL-rewriting and URL-encoding, let me know if you come across some more differences between these URL Encoding vs URL-rewriting in Servlet and JSP.

"Extreme risk" level: What it means for SPS
How might Lane County's "extreme risk" designation affect SPS teaching and learning?
Overview + what it means for SPS
Lane County is set to move back to the "extreme risk" category on Friday, April 30, after positive Covid-19 cases have been on the rise for the past few weeks. The change in county risk designation does not directly affect schools or school schedules.
Public school districts in Oregon are required to follow positive case-based guidance defined by the Oregon Department of Education developed in conjunction with the Oregon Health Authority. As part of the state guidance, school districts are encouraged to maintain current in-person learning if it's already in place stating that schools "should not reduce in-person instruction or revert to comprehensive distance learning based on county metrics if the school can demonstrate the ability to limit transmission in the school environment."
Metrics breakdown
Public elementary schools have the option to limit in-person learning if positive case levels reach more than 350 positive cases per 100,000 people over the course of 14 days. However, when cases are below that threshold, public elementary schools are required to offer either on-site or hybrid learning options.
The guidance for middle and high schools is slightly different and provides schools with the option to switch to comprehensive distance learning to limit transmission, if necessary, when county case levels reach more than 200 cases per 100,000 people over 14 days (a slightly lower threshold).
Schools are not required to switch to comprehensive distance learning at any point except potentially on an isolated school-to-school basis to curb transmission. This decision would be made by district staff as recommended by district health professionals. Under current guidance, SPS likely would not return to district-wide remote learning.
As of April 28, Lane County Covid-19 case rates had reached 214 cases per 100,000 and a 3.5 percent test positivity rate.

Laser Tag Parties – Interesting, Innovative and Exciting
When it comes to games, many parents will fall back on the usual suspects. These could include games like Pin the Tail or Musical Chairs. However, in recent times, a plethora of games and entertainment options has emerged for kids. For example, laser tag parties are quite popular in Chatswood and the adjoining areas.
Many entertainment services in major cities provide entertainment services for kids. They typically provide a venue, where kids of all ages can have a blast. These facilities usually have ample space for kids to play a wide range of games, including laser tag and skirmish. The latter, in particular, is quite popular. Visit any major shopping centre and you will find kids enjoying a game of laser skirmish in Sydney and other major cities.
In laser tag, each child has a laser tag gun. In addition, the child typically wears a vest that is sensitive to the laser. Thereafter, the participating kids typically enter a dark maze, where they try to tag each other with the laser gun. When a laser beam hits a vest, the vest lights up. This indicates that the child is now out of the game. The winner of the game is the child who remains unconquered without a single tag inside the laser room.

pensando module parses distributed firewall logs created by the
Pensando distributed services card (DSC).
When you run the module, it performs a few tasks under the hood:
- Sets the default paths to the log files (but don't worry, you can override the defaults)
- Makes sure each multiline log event gets sent as a single event
- Uses ingest node to parse and process the log lines, shaping the data into a structure suitable for visualizing in Kibana
- Deploys dashboards for visualizing the log data
Read the quick start to learn how to configure and run modules.
The Pensando module has been tested with 1.12.0-E-54 and later.
Configure the moduleedit
You can further refine the behavior of the
pensando module by specifying
variable settings in the
modules.d/pensando.yml file, or overriding settings at the command line.
The following example shows how to set parameters in the
file to listen for firewall logs sent from the Pensando DSC(s) on port 5514 (default is 9001):
- module: pensando access: enabled: true var.syslog_host: 0.0.0.0 var.syslog_port:
Each fileset has separate variable settings for configuring the behavior of the
module. If you don't specify variable settings, the
pensando module uses
For advanced use cases, you can also override input settings. See Override input settings.
When you specify a setting at the command line, remember to prefix the
setting with the module name, for example,
dfw log fileset settingsedit
An array of glob-based paths that specify where to look for the log files. All
patterns supported by Go Glob
are also supported here. For example, you can use wildcards to fetch all files
from a predefined level of subdirectories:
/path/to/log/*/*.log. This fetches all
.logfiles from the subfolders of
/path/to/log. It does not fetch log files from the
/path/to/logfolder itself. If this setting is left empty, Filebeat will choose log paths based on your operating system.
This module comes with a sample dashboard. For example:

Purpose of reg(RegisterLogic1)?

What are they for and what can I do with them?
I looked at the MIDI Mapping for the Reloop Terminal Mix 4 and it seems like they just light up an LED when a Button is pressed.
Thanks a lot!

With MIDI mapping you have the ability to assign more than one command to a button or knob.
Most MIDI commands in Cross have of course the command in the input section and an output in the output section to light up and LED. However, there are some command that do not have and output section but you may still want to light up and indicator in your controller to let you know that something is active or to light up when a specific value is activated in Shift logic selector.
Let us assume (not true) that the Play/Pause command did not have an output to light up the Play button in your controller but you still want an indication when play is active.
In that case you would map the Play/Pause button to the correct address and channel and would also map a Registerlogic command to that button.
Know you can map an output to the registerlogic command that would light up the LED.
Another example.
Shift logic commands have output capability, when you use ModShiftLogic you can assign for a specicic LED to come on when the selected ModShiftLogic is active.
That is not the case with the Shift Logic selector,. It has no output.
So you can't tell when a specific value for shift logic is active.
So know let us assume that you have two buttons assigned to activate the Shift selector to value 1 and the other button to Shift selector value 2.
After mapping they are functional but give no indication of which one is active.
So to get and indication you would map Register logic 1 along with Shift Selector value 1 and Register logic 2 along with Shift Selector value 2.
Know map the output of Register logic one and 2 to the desired LED.
End results is that you mapped Shift Selector commands (that have no indicator output) to perform the function. And Register Logic command (which have output) to give you the desired indication when a specific Shift selector value is active.
Hope that helps

Disorientation and spatial abilities performance
Proceedings, 6th International Space Syntax Symposium, Istanbul, 2007
Author: Christian Beros Space Syntax Ltd; The Bartlett School of Graduate Studies, UCL.
This paper investigates the relation of Spatial Configuration with Orientation Performance of the individual in Urban Navigation. Spatial Orientation is defined as a function of the mind involving 'awareness of place' in the environment, and is a key aspect of Navigation in terms of maintaining a sense of where the subject is relative to its goal as it is moving. The aim of this paper is to shed light on Spatial Orientation performance and how it is linked to configurational and syntactical properties of space. This topic is intrinsic in the Space Syntax theory due its fundamental relation between spatiality and human activity.
The discussion is developed by the research findings and theories of Navigation, Wayfinding and Spatial Cognition, putting forward varied interpretations related with the research topic and the selected areas. The paper concludes that the Spatial Orientation in Soho and Covent Garden is determined by the Spatial Configuration of the area and that the navigation system used in Central London is mainly Path Integration rather than Piloting or Landmark Recognition System. Then, it is argued that Landmarks act as primary organizers of spatial features in cognitive maps, followed by an environmental knowing and understanding of the Spatial Configuration that is translated in Path Integration.

In theory, a 5-gallon jug filled completely with $100 bills can contain a total of $980,000. If the jug is filled with $1 coins, it could hold a total of $33,333. The amount varies widely depending on the combination of coins and bills used to fill the jug.
Based on measurements, a stack of 100 $100 bills is 6 inches long by 2.5 inches wide by 0.43 inches tall, giving the stack a volume of 11.785 cubic centimeters. A 5-gallon jug contains the equivalent of 1,155 cubic inches. Dividing 1,155 cubic inches by 11.785 cubic inches per stack of bills gives a total of 98 stacks of $10,000. Multiplying 98 stacks by $10,000 gives a total of $980,000. The same process can be used to find the volume of $1 coins contained in a 5-gallon space.

A Hierarchical Keyframe User Interface for Browsing Video over the Internet
We present an interactive content-based video browser allowing fast, non linear and hierarchical navigation of video over the Internet through multiple levels of key-frames that provide a visual summary of video content. Our method is based on an XML framework, dynamically generated parameterized XSL style sheets, and SMIL. The architecture is designed to incorporate additional recognized features (e.g. from audio) in future versions. The last part of this paper describes a user study which indicates that this browsing interface is more comfortable to use and approximately three times faster for locating remembered still images within videos compared to the simple VCR controls built into RealPlayer.

We investigated the effect of zinc oxide addition for the defects in the dense SnO2 ceramics. Cathode and photoluminescence properties revealed the luminescence originated to oxygen vacancies in SnO2 grains and the presence of non-radiative defect at the grain boundaries. The oxygen diffusion profile showed that the oxygen diffusion was controlled by the limited process at the surface and uniform concentration of 18O at the grain boundaries inner side of sample. This sample exhibited a low Zn concentration in grains and a high Zn concentration at grain boundaries. We conclude that segregation of Zn at grain boundaries prevents SnO2 from decomposing at high temperatures, enabling dense SnO2 ceramics to be obtained.

The purpose of this activity is to give the student pharmacist the opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of the medication process within a health system and to ensure that the student has learned about the medication process from his or her IPPE.
The preceptor will walk the IPPE student pharmacist through the medication ordering, dispensing, and administration process. Before the final visit to the assigned site, the IPPE student pharmacist will submit in writing and present each step of the medication process from the point of making the decision to write a medication order or prescription to administration/self-administration of the medication. The preceptor will assess the accuracy of the outline and presentation and provide feedback to the student.
The Medication Process Outline Assignment
- This is a one-page outline of the steps in the medication order, dispensing, and administration process at the site.
- At the end of the outline, the student will describe three (3) areas of the medication process that are the most critical or where the pharmacy member must be most attentive to ensure safety and accuracy.
- The student will present the Medication Process Outline to the preceptor towards the end of the experience.
- The preceptor will provide feedback regarding the accuracy of your evaluation, including steps missed or inaccurately written or stated. This provides an opportunity to receive constructive feedback to help the student to better understand the medication process at the site and within health systems.
- The preceptor may ask for corrections to be added into the outline and for re-submission.

Basic things about men's wardrobe
To look dignified, the man should choose the following basic elements of the wardrobe correctly:
And if the choice of trousers with shoes is always individual. Then for the rest, you can formulate general rules.
How to choose a shirt
- The shape of the collar should be chosen based on the characteristics of the face. If it is narrow, it is better than the collar should be sharpened. And if wide – prefer the blunt angles.
- Choose the color of the shirt for the color of your skin. If the shirt is brighter than you, then it will emphasize all the defects. For example, make visually more visible bags under the eyes.
- Check the size of the shirt correctly. First, look at the place of the shoulder seams. Secondly, pay attention to the length of the sleeve. When the arm is lowered, the sleeve should be slightly below the wrist.
How to choose a jacket
- It is important to choose the right jacket for the size. Notice how the shoulder seam lay. Be sure to check the length of the sleeve – it should be such that the cuffs of the shirt look out.
- Choose the color of the jacket depending on where you intend to put it on. For example, for work – gray, in the club – blue, in the yacht club – white, etc.
- Pay attention to the texture and drawing of the fabric. They need to be selected for the season and the situation.
- Lapels should be in harmony with facial features. If the face is narrow, pick up the pointed lapels. If wide – then lapels, respectively, should be wider than usual.
- Look at the number of buttons. If you have low growth, then let them be 1-2, not more. And, if the buttons are more than two, the lower one should always be bent. This is a rule of etiquette!
- The number of slots (cuts) and their position should also be selected for their type of figure.
- Pay attention to the shape of the pockets. They can attach the unnecessary volume to the abdomen.
- If there are elbow pins on the jacket, they set the tone for all other elements of the image. For example, if the armrests are brown, then shoes, and accessories, too, should be in brown color.
- The width of the necktie must be chosen from the width of the face. The wider the face, the wider the tie. And vice versa. In addition, the width of the tie should match the sphere of work of the man. Officials and businessmen are more suitable for wide ties, representatives of creative specialties – more narrow.
- The color of the tie should be chosen for your color. If your hair is dark, and the skin is light, then it's better to buy a contrast tie, for example, dark blue, burgundy, and emerald. If your hair is light, then you should prefer gray, beige and other muted colors.
- It's important to match the tie to the suit. First of all, with a shirt. They must be in harmony with each other. For example, if the shirt is white and the jacket is dark blue, then the tie must be saturated color. And if the rest of the outfit is light shades, then it's worth choosing a pastel tie, a muted color.
How to choose a belt
- It is necessary to know exactly what you are wearing a belt for trousers or jeans. On this depends its width: for trousers – 2-3 cm, for jeans – 4-5 (+ more massive buckle).
- The color of the belt should be in harmony with the color of the other accessories. For example, if the belt is brown, then it is desirable that in the same range there are socks and shoes.
- The length of the belt is determined by the number of holes in it. Usually, there are 5. It is important that you can fasten the belt to the third, maximum, fourth hole.
- The buckle must not be fanciful. The bad taste is the brand logo on a fist-sized buckle. The buckle is also worth choosing under the shape of the face. If the face has more smooth lines – choose a buckle in the shape of an oval or a circle. If more sharp, graphic lines – it is better to give preference to rectangular or triangular buckles.

Saving The World!
KS1 pupils enjoy a visit to Living Coasts as part of their learning experience - 'Saving the World.
The children were able to get up close and personal to the Macaroni and African penguins and learnt how to tell them apart before moving on to see the fur seals being fed. After the children were all fed and watered, they took part in an interactive work shop, learning how penguins keep warm in arctic conditions and how to keep their eggs warm. They even had a go at carrying eggs on their feet. Not easy! A fantastic time was had by all and it was all great inspiration for the stories they will be writing and the upcoming show 'Eddie the Penguin Saves the World.'

I am working on a MapInfo plugin to convert MapInfo files to GeoJSON files.
I am having trouble matching up the object types of the two formats. Each GeoJSON object type is described in the documentation. The MapInfo object types are a bit more ambiguous. The best I can find is in the MapBasic reference file which says, for example:
- OBJ_INFO_TYPE value: OBJ_TYPE_REGION
- ID: 7
- Object type: Region Object
This is obvious enough but what exactly is a region? Is it analogous to a Polygon? Or is it any closed object?
Can anyone point me towards a decent definition of each object type?
I sent a message to the MapInfo support people who pointed me towards a section in the MapInfo User Guide headed "Map Objects as Part of Layers" which spells things out perfectly. I still can't find this page in the guide that I have (version 10.5) so I'll paste the relevant section below for anyone else in my position.
Quote starts here:
MapInfo Professional are made up of layers of map objects. There are five basic types of objects:
- Regions: closed objects that cover a given area. These include polygons, ellipses, and rectangles. For example, country boundaries, postal code boundaries, sales territories.
- Point objects: represent single locations of data. For example, customer locations, restaurants, parking meters. Points can also be combined into multipoint objects.
- Line objects: open objects that cover a given distance. These include lines, polylines, and arcs. Examples are streets, rivers, power lines.
- Text objects: text that describes a map or another object, such as labels and titles.
- Collection objects: combination of region, line, and multipoint objects.
You can have each type of object in a separate layer (most common), or you can combine objects in the same layer.

I am new to Python scripting in ArcGIS but not new to ModelBuilder.
I would like to know the benefits of Python vs ModelBuilder.
When should we write Python script for GIS automation rather than use ModelBuilder?
What are the automation capabilities of Python that we cannot find in ModelBuilder?

I believe that the user should clearly define their objectives before deciding which set of tools to use. ModelBuilder and Python scripting excel at different tasks. A few thoughts:
 1. ModelBuilder has no mapping capabilities, whereas arcpy.mapping does.
 2. Python can be used to optimize workflows, such as with the multiprocessing package or with parallel processing.
 3. Python allows for nested loops and other handy iterative logic tools. To accomplish a similar result in ModelBuilder, you would have to construct intricate, and complicated, nested models.
 4. Simple text manipulation is very easy with Python and either very difficult or not possible with ModelBuilder.
 e.g. to rename a list of file names from, for example "m_2010_naip_2310345_nw.img" to "2310345nw.img" can easily be accomplished with Python using the os.path module.
On the other hand:
 1. ModelBuilder is very useful for quickly putting together common tools and eliminating the need for debugging scripts.
 2. ModelBuilder has a very useful recursive iterator that is easy to implement in order to loop through folders and subfolders.
 3. ModelBuilder excels at visually and intuitively depicting the workflow for complicated tasks.
 4. ModelBuilder can incorporate Python script tools.

Described differences between Python and Model Builder in ArcGIS clearly. Thanks – wetland Apr 7 '13 at 17:34
I would add also: 1. you can run your Python script outside ArcMap 2. You can use ArcObjects in Python, 3. There may be some speed differences. – Tomek Apr 7 '13 at 19:19
+1 NESTED LOOPS & arcpy.mapping! I like the ability to make calculations within a script and add them to attribute tables or better yet to the map layout (area of each wetland type for example). – Roy Apr 9 '13 at 19:43
I read python scripting for ArcGIS book. I also add some more capabilities : 1- script cursors let you loop through records in a table, reading the existing rows and inserting new rows. 2- scripting can be used to wrap other softwarethat is, to glue together application. for example python can be used to access functions in Microsoft Excel or in the statistical Package R. 3-A script can be run as a stand-alone script on disk outside of ArcGIS.you do not need to run ArcMap or ArcCatalog for script to work.

If you are working solely within the confines of ArcGIS, there are a few considerations I would consider when attempting to determine the approach to take.
 - What are you trying to accomplish,
 - What are your current skill sets,
 - Will you be sharing your work with others to use, learn from, or manipulate, and
 - Who is your intended audience.
Given those considerations:
 1. It is often quicker and easier to build a process in ModelBuilder than in Python, unless part of your process cannot be replicated in ModelBuilder.
 2. If you don't know Python & have not intention to learn it, ModelBuilder is a great option.
 3. If you don't know Python & want to learn to incorporate it into your skill set, ModelBuilder is a great way to start by creating simple models, then exporting them to Python so you have the skeleton of your final process pre-built for you. This method does come at a cost, as there is a lot of extraneous information & variables that usually get created during the conversion process, but it is still a great way to start learning.
 4. If you are building tools for personal use, using whichever method you feel most comfortable with is usually the route to go. I personally use both, depending on my needs.
 5. If you are planning to share your analysis with others, and want to share your model/script with others are part of your process documentation, a model is generally much easier to follow and understand for non-technical people.
There probably is no answer to "which is better" for personal use, but if you are looking long-term at employment possibilities, by learning Python you will set yourself apart from those who only know how to use the pre-programmed tools, or just know how to use ModelBuilder. You also give yourself the ability to go outside the confines of Python for ArcGIS (ArcPy), and start automating far more tasks and projects by using other proprietary and open-source GIS libraries, as well as many non-GIS libraries (iedatabase, image manipulation, statistics, etc).

Model Builder is a great and easy to learn visual programming language and a good entrance to GIS-programming in general. But in some things python can do more.
One example is the integration of non-ESRI GIS libraries. Nearly all of the Open Source GIS can be adressed via python as well (e.g. GRASS, Sextante, QGIS, SAGA). This helped me a lot, because I only have an ArcView license. So every time I cannot use a certain geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS, I look what other options are available in Open Source GIS. I then take these OpenSource-tools and combine them with ArcGIS tools either in a bigger python script or integrate them in ModelBuilder via a smaller python script.
I'm sure other members can name more advantages.

When using Python and ArcGIS, you get the entire functionality of Python in addition to what you already had in ArcGIS. If you need this kind of power and flexibility depends on your wishes. In addition, getting to know and really leverage a programming language such as Python takes time. If this investment is worth it for you is up to you. However, for serious data processing a real scripting language is a very good addition in your arsenal.
Apart form any functionality that the ModelBuilder might miss, there is also a more fundamental discussion. In general, scripts are much more suitable to create complex workflows. The code is processed from top to bottom, and complex tasks can be subdivided into smaller sub tasks using e.g. functions. or objects. A graphical tool such as the model builder tends to become a big spaghetti.

I'm partial to creating Python scripts. It's more fun to write code than to mess around with connecting lines to boxes and such, for me at least.
What's really great about Python scripting is you can schedule your scripts to run at a time that is convenient for you. If you have a script that takes a while to complete, or needs to be run outside of regular business hours, this is really convenient. You can see an example of how to schedule a script here.
And as _USER_ mentions, you can easily set up looping in a Python script.
If you're just setting out with Python scripting, you might want to create a model with Model Builder and export it as a Python script. I do this sometimes if I'm having trouble understanding how to use several tools in a script. It could help you get a sense for how to put scripts together.

I have found that I seem to get stuck with no solution more with model builder than with python scripting. The somewhat 'black box' nature of model builder to me makes it harder to find where the problem is located.
I have also found that I can find a lot more help on python. I tend to find lots of dead end threads and topics about model builder. There area also fewer example to go by, where as with python, you probably can find small snipets of most parts of any script you are writing.

- In general, okra is used much more as a condiment than as a sauce in itself.
- okra is in fact added to a sauce so that it isn't too runny, but sticks together well enough to stick to the boule.
- okra may be used for sauce preparation as much with vegetables as with meat, be it fresh or dried.
- When using fresh okra, we cut it into very small pieces, then we add it to the vegetables into boiling water.
- We wait until the two (okra, vegetables) are well-cooked before adding any condiments (salt, Peanut butter, Maggi soy sauce or bouillon cubes, piment (hot spice), etc.).
- Then one must leave the sauce on the fire for a few minutes before serving.
- When using dried okra, we grind it into powder and put a certain quantity (in general, a tablespoon per litre of water for making sauce) in at the same time as the other condiments.
- In rare cases, okra is prepared alone as a sauce in itself (for example, during the time between sowing the fields and harvest).
- In this case, the sauce is composed of water, salt and okra (fresh or dried), cooked together. The quantity of okra must be sufficient enough for the sauce to be a sauce and not simply water.


Teachers union sues state over lost day
The Washington Education Association sued the state yesterday over a lost day of work.
The lawsuit, filed in King County Superior Court, challenges the Legislature's decision in 2002 to cut a non-student learning-improvement day for teachers. The 76,000-member union figures that cost the average teacher about $250.
"That day had become part of the definition of basic education in the state of Washington," said Charles Hasse, the WEA's president.
The lawsuit argues that the decision violates both the Washington Constitution's mandate that the state provide for basic education and Initiative 732's requirement that teachers be given annual cost-of-living raises.
The union hasn't been shy about challenging lawmakers before, especially in recent years, as tight budgets have prompted the Legislature to rein in spending.
Last year, the state Supreme Court agreed with the WEA's contention that lawmakers had violated I-732 by not providing raises for all school employees, not just those whose base pay came from the state.
This year, lawmakers amended the initiative to render that ruling irrelevant and suspend the yearly raises, although some money was allocated to increase pay for the newest teachers. The WEA has threatened to sue over that move as well, arguing that who gets pay increases should be dictated by local contracts between teachers and school districts.

The live hands are usually worked on using animation with the bones on each finger a monster has. They can be rendered in live hand when animation is used. Humanoids, Humans and all others are always live handed because the humans skeleton causes them to move any finger. Live hands are mostly used in animations, human beings and puppets who have live hands, but rod-hand puppets keep the fingers sticked with the hands.


Linear scalable read-write lock
The basic concept of a read-write lock is simple. It allows multiple readers to access the resource simultaneously, but at most one thread can have exclusive ownership of the lock (a.k.a write lock). It's supposed to be an optimization, comparing to simple mutex (e.g. std::mutex). As in theory, multiple readers do not contend. Naively, read performance should scale linearly. However, this is not the case in practice for most read-write locks, due to cacheline pingpong-ing.
Let's say N threads are running on N cores, all trying to get shared ownership of the mutex (read lock). Because we need to keep a count of the number of active readers (to exclude writers), each lock_shared() call needs to mutate the mutex state.
And CPU needs to keep cache coherent. It needs to invalidate cachelines in other cores of the same address.
Now if Core 1 wants to get the lock in shared mode, it will get a cache miss. An L1 cache hit takes about 4 CPU cycles. Main memory access usually takes 20x more CPU cycles if not more. In Jeff Dean's famous latency table, L1 cache hit takes about 0.5 ns, and main memory access is about 100 ns. In this way, the performance doesn't scale linearly as you throw more readers to the data. By increasing the number of threads, you often end up with 10x power assumption and maybe 20% performance improvment over single reader.
folly is Facebook's C++ open source library. folly::SharedMutex solves this problem by storing active readers in a global static storage. It stripes the shared storage, so each reader takes a whole cacheline. It tries to have a sticky routing from a given core to the slot in the shared memory for reducing search overhead. Each slot stores the address of the mutex. In this way, when another reader comes in, it only needs to mutate the shared storage, and leaves the mutex state unchanged.
Voilà! No more cacheline pingpong-ing!
However, it does come with a downside. Because all deferred readers share the same block of static memory, this means
acquisition of any lock in write mode can conflict with acquisition of any lock in shared mode
E.g. A writer, of a given mutex, might have most of the deferred reader array pre-fetched in memory, but readers of other mutex might cause the cacheline to be invalidated. And most of the time the write and the read are not even contending on the same lock object. But the cacheline gets invalidated anyway.
The benefit of SharedMutex is most significant when there are many concurrent readers, and there are actual contention. For cases where actual concurrent reads is rare, spin lock works better. That's why folly::SharedMutex actually degenerates to an inlined read-write lock (which stores the reader count inline) when there are no concurrent readers detected. This is done dynamically at runtime.
The devil is in the details.
How to block
How do we block when we need to, E.g. reader waiting for an active writer, or writer waiting for multiple outstanding readers? You don't want to call FUTEX_WAIT every time you block, as system calls are expensive. folly::SharedMutex blocks in following order
 1. spin with pause instruction
 2. std::this_thread::yield()
If there's no contention or the contention is short lived, spinning wait is the fastest, with no system calls. PAUSE instruction is used to avoid expensive pipeline flush when exiting the loop. (
If it exhausts the spinning wait tries, it moves on to sched_yield(). It will give the other thread opportunities to release the lock and avoid burning through too many CPU cycles busy waiting.
At the very end, it calls FUTEX_WAIT if both spin-wait and yield are exhausted. All the states related to a given mutex is encoded in the 32bit futex and the external deferred reader array.
How lock/unlock works
All the synchronizations required are done based on a single 32bit atomic futex. A common pattern of how lock works looks like:
 1. block until state shows no contention with acquire semantic
 2. if the lock is inlined, perform CAS on the atomic state. Only return, when CAS succeeds (except this is try_lock, or timeout is allowed).
 3. if the lock is not inlined
 - if not already set, perform CAS on the atomic state to block other exclusive operations (e.g. set the "has_deferred_reader" bit in the state for lock_shared(), if not already set)
 - create deferred reader slot in global static memory
 - read state again with acquire semantic
 - if the "has_deferred_reader" bit is still set, return success
 - retry the whole operation
Setting the "has_deferred_reader" bit will block the acquisition of the lock in exclusive mode. However it's possible that after a deferred reader slot is written, the previous last deferred reader exists the lock and clears the "has_deferred_reader" bit. Or even worse, some writer might have even started acquiring the lock in exclusive mode. That's why we need to read the atomic state again to check the "has_deferred_reader" before we can return from lock_shared(). If we have the deferred reader registered, and "has_deferred_reader" is set in the state, it's impossible for another writer to successfully get exclusive ownership of the lock. So we can safely return.
For lock() (lock exclusive), it sometimes needs to wait for all the deferred readers to exit the lock. But for deferred readers, we are not keeping a refcount inline anymore. So folly::SharedMutex in this case, would move all the deferred readers back inline, and then FUTEX_WAIT on the state until the refcount reaches zero.
Unlock just calls FUTEX_WAKE. But again, the devil is in the details. Whom do we wake up? How many threads do we wake up?
Whom to wake up
If there are multiple writers waiting for the mutex, when the last reader exits, it's most efficient to just wake up one writer instead of all of them. This is done using a special bit from the atomic state. Only the first writer waiter will set this bit, and only this thread will be waken up.
On the other hand, if there are multiple readers waiting for the active writer to exit the lock, all the them will be waken up at once.
What if we run out of slots
If no slots are available, readers are inlined. They are refcounted inside the 32bit atomic futex.
You can run the benchmark on your own hardware. On my machine (32KB L1 cache per core, dual-socket, 24 cores with hyperthreading enabled), folly::SharedMutex is better than other mutexes in most of the cases, and in some cases significantly faster. When it's slower than other mutexes, it's usually only few ns slower.

Gas turbine air intake filter media request higher efficiency due to working environment and conditions,so nano superfine fiber is necessary during production to increase filter media performance.
This filter media is applied to the air intake filter of gas turbine. It will filtrate the dust and impurities when air goes through media to enter in compression room. Its filtration function keeps clean air to be supplied, which assures that gas turbine generator maintains safe and smooth operation. If the filtration precision is not high, the dirt will pass and stick on compressor blades, accordingly, washing times is increased to clear blades. Thus the generator set will consume more energy but output less electricity. Besides, the dust particles easily cause blockage at air intake and come into collision with compressor blades, which will seriously affect the performance and safety of generator set, shorten its lifetime. Therefore, high quality filter media is especially important to apply in the gas turbine air filters.

On Error Gosub
The ON ERROR statement has been augmented to support GOSUB in addition to GOTO and SYSTEM. This is a very important feature because it permits multiple nested error processes and ON FKEY GOSUB label-reference. Programmers are no longer limited to the simple RETRY or CONTINUE to return from an interrupt.
- The keyboard buffer is cleared by ON error GOSUB interrupts.
- By default, BR checks for Fkey interrupts every eight statements. Use the BREAK configuration statement to vary this.
- If an ON FKEY GOSUB / GOTO statement catches an interrupt during a SLEEP operation the Sleep is immediately terminated. In the case of GOSUB, a RETURN resumes with the clause following the Sleep.

Politicization and political contests in and around contemporary multinational corporations: An introduction
- Publication Type:
- Journal Article
- Human Relations, 2018, 71 (6), pp. 745 - 765
- Issue Date:
© 2018, © The Author(s) 2018. This article looks at core arguments in international business, organization studies and surrounding academic fields that focus on the study of politicization and political contests in and around multinational corporations (MNCs). Two evident streams of debate are identified. Equally evident is that these streams hardly connect. One stream is mainly interested in studying politicization from the outside, whereas the other is mainly interested in politicization from within. As a way of connecting both streams, we introduce the circuits of power framework. Next, we introduce the contributions of our Special Issue, followed by concluding comments which distinguish five emergent themes. First, we show how the application of the circuits of power framework sheds new light on the study of political contests of MNCs. Second, we highlight that the role of nation states has not lost its significance as, for example, political corporate social responsibility (CSR) approaches would have us believe. Third, dominant ideologies play an important role in establishing and controlling circuits of power in and around MNCs. Fourth, it is vital to take labour issues into account in this field of study. Fifth, there is increasing evidence that asymmetric and hierarchical forms of organizing do not disappear in new MNC network forms.
