|Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Tuning with the Oracle Tuning Pack
Part Number A86647-01
The Outline Management tool allows you to manage stored outlines directly using a GUI-based tool. Specifically you can browse, sort, delete, and edit outlines with this tool. Outlines are preserved by Oracle's plan stability functionality, so before using Outline Management or Outline Editor to create or edit an outline, it is important to understand how plan stability works. Plan stability prevents certain database environment changes from affecting the performance characteristics of applications. Such changes include changes to the optimizer statistics, changes to the optimizer mode settings, and changes to parameters affecting the sizes of memory structures, such as
BITMAP_MERGE_AREA_SIZE. Plan stability is most useful when you cannot risk any performance changes in an application.
An outline consists primarily of a set of hints that is equivalent to the optimizer's results for the execution plan generation of a particular SQL statement. When you create an outline, plan stability examines the optimization results using the same data used to generate the execution plan. That is, Oracle uses the input to the execution plan to generate an outline, and not the execution plan itself.
As mentioned above, an outline is a means for modifying optimizer behavior. When the optimizer encounters the SQL text of the outline, it applies the supplied hints. The plans Oracle maintains in stored outlines remain consistent despite changes to a system's configuration or statistics. Using outlines also stabilizes the generated execution plan if the optimizer changes in subsequent Oracle releases. Plan stability facilitates migration from the rule-based optimizer to the cost-based optimizer when you upgrade to a new Oracle release.
For more information on plan stability, see the Oracle9i Database Performance Guide and Reference.
There are two ways to launch the Outline Management Tool:
The Outline Management tool provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for managing your stored outlines. The tool can tell you how many outlines exist in the database and whether or not the outlines have been used since the last database upgrade.
Specifically, the tool allows you to:
The Outline Management Tool can also be used to launch the Outline Editor to create a new outline or edit an existing outline. When you want to create a new outline, Outline Management gives you two options: Create and Create Like. The Create feature launches the Outline Editor which allows you to specify the name, category, and SQL text for your new outline. Use the Create Like feature to make a new outline similar to an existing one.
When you edit an existing outline, the Outline Editor lets you to see the SQL text and modify the graphical explain plan for the outline. For more information on using the Outline Editor, see Chapter 26, "Introduction to the Outline Editor".

Inauguration of the University
The University of Sydney was inaugurated on 11 October 1852 in premises formerly belonging to Sydney College, now Sydney Grammar School. The ceremony was reported in detail in the Illustrated London News on 29 January 1853.
The Governor of New South Wales' chair had a shield bearing the Royal Arms above it, with the arms of Oxford University to the right and those of Cambridge University to the left. Above the chair of Dr Woolley, Principal of the new university, were the arms of his old college, University College, Oxford.
The new university was represented by a blank white shield, bearing the motto "I will achieve." This, in the best traditions of heraldic puns, plays upon the notion of an achievement of arms as well as the idea of attaining a goal. The hope and expectation of achievement is enhanced by the white shield, as if it were a blank canvas ready to be filled.
A common seal, pictorial in nature, had been adopted in 1851, and served as a symbolic representation of the institution until the granting of the arms.

Slovak Jewish Heritage Route
The Route is a network linking the most important synagogue buildings in Slovakia. Some are active houses of worship, while others serve today as cultural venues. Several historic Jewish cemeteries are also included. Click on the map to learn more about Route sites in various regions in Slovakia.
THE GATEWAY TO JEWISH HERITAGE IN SLOVAKIA
Our online resources provide information about major Jewish sites around the country. The material covers a range of topics and is oriented to scholars as well to the general public.
The MONUMENTS DATABASE features details on hundreds of Jewish heritage sites we have documented throughout Slovakia. We began our work in 2001 as Synagoga Slovaca, a project aimed at documenting the scores of synagogues, many of them in ruinous condition, that still stand in all corners of the country. We are gradually adding cemeteries, cemetery chapels, mikvaot (ritual baths), school buildings, other Jewish communal buildings and Holocaust memorials. Material in the database includes historical and architectural information as well as photographs.
The SLOVAK JEWISH HERITAGE ROUTE promotes the country's most important Jewish heritage sites and integrates them into national and local cultural, educational and tourism contexts. The Route is associated with the European Routes of Jewish Heritage, which has been declared a Major Cultural Route of the Council of Europe. We organize SLOVAK JEWISH HERITAGE TOURS in cooperation with a leading touroperator Enjoy Slovakia DMC.
These projects and other activities of our Center are part of a long-term vision that includes the establishment of a sustainable and multi-faceted SLOVAK JEWISH HERITAGE PROGRAM. We strongly believe that our work can foster a desire - and a commitment - to seek sustainable frameworks for the maintenance and restoration of these important yet all-too-often neglected heritage sites. Only through such strategies can we contribute to the preservation of Slovak Jewish monuments as part of Slovakia's overall multicultural heritage.


Trait: Anthropomorphic Animal
Traits > Body > Features > Humanoid (Non-human) > Anthropomorphic Animal
Anthropomorphic Animal - a bipedal hybrid of an animal in a humanoid form. For a character to be considered anthropomorphic animal, either human and animal traits should be pronounced in about equal measure, or the latter should be dominant.
Do not use the trait to describe characters that look mostly human, but have minor animal characteristics, like animal ears (use Kemonomimi instead) or a tail (use Tail).
Only use the trait to describe the characters, for whom the anthropomorphic form is the primary one. Do not use it for shapeshifters, who can turn into an alternative animalistic form (e.g. a werewolf).

It is crucial for students of Vajrayana Buddhism to find an authentic wisdom teacher and know how to properly rely upon that teacher in order to awaken to their buddha nature and thereby attain full enlightenment. Fortunately, the topic has been thoroughly explored by Jamgon Kongtrul in the tenth chapter of The Treasury of Knowledge. This essential text clearly lays out what credentials and qualities one should look for in a wisdom teacher, why a wisdom teacher is necessary, and how the relationship between this teacher and disciple best develops once it is established.

Background: Extrapyramidal signs (EPSs), which are important characteristics of Parkinson's disease (PD), occur frequently in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although AD and PD share common clinical features such as EPSs, these diseases vary with respect to vascular risk factors. The presence of vascular risk factors increases the risk of AD; however, these factors have been known to be inversely associated with PD. We aimed to assess the effect of vascular risk factors and white matter lesions (WMLs) on EPSs in AD.
Methods: We recruited 1,187 AD patients and 333 controls with neither cognitive impairment nor EPSs. All participants underwent detailed clinical evaluations which included assessments of vascular risk factors, cognitive function, and EPSs, as well as WMLs on brain MRIs. EPS subtypes were classified into tremor-dominant, postural instability gait difficulty, or indeterminate; WMLs subtypes were classified into periventricular WML (pvWML) or deep WML (dWML).
Results: EPSs were present in 17.9% of subjects with AD and were significantly associated with vascular risk factors such as age, male gender, diabetes mellitus, and WMLs. Additionally, a multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that EPSs in AD were associated with pvWML (odds ratio (OR), 1.61–2.52), not with dWML. With respect to EPS subtypes, the majority (78.4%) of EPSs in AD were postural instability gait difficulty, which was also associated with WMLs (OR 1.84–2.41), pvWML (OR 2.09–3.14), and dWML (OR 1.83–3.42).
Conclusions: EPSs in AD are associated with selected vascular risk factors as well as WMLs.

ABSTRACT It has been recognized for some time that a significant fraction of most organic contaminants that are introduced into a soil becomes rapidly and irreversibly bound to the humin fraction of naturally-occurring organic matter. The insolubility of humin in essentially any solvent has made the study of these "bound residues" difficult. The ability to fractionate humin into four components (extractable lipids, bound-humic acid, bound lipids, and mineral matter) using the methyl-isobutylketone partitioning procedure is providing new insights into the phenomenon of bound-residue formation and the fate of anthropogenic organic compounds in natural environments. Results will be presented describing the formation of PCBand PAH-bound residues in humin using 14C-labeled compounds. The distribution of the radioactivity among the components of humin will be compared and contrasted.
KEYWORDS: soil organic matter, humin, bound residues, PCB, PAH

How does the Results API work? | Questionmark
How does the Results API work?
Applies to the following products:
Questionmark OnDemand
Questionmark Perception
Applies to the following Perception versions:
Perception 5.7
The Results API OData feeds are designed to return specific datum and granular subsets of data. When querying multiple data in a feed, querying multiple feeds simultaneously, or querying against the content in a variable that is not a key field for the feed, the Results API may timeout. Users are encouraged to design queries to use specific key values.
To introduce you to our Results API if you are unfamiliar with OData services, let's start off with an example—accessing the Participants feed and retrieving a list of participants.
Perception users would enter the following HTTP request in a browser:
https:///analyticsodata//odata/Participants
...where is the fully-qualified name (including the domain name) of the server where Perception is installed and is the name of the specific Perception repository are you trying to access the result data for.
OnDemand user would enter the following HTTP request in a browser:/odata/Participants
...where is the customer ID of the OnDemand account you want to access the result data for.
This example is for an OnDemand user, but a Perception user would follow the exact same steps using the Perception-specific URL format shown above. After authenticating (see the How can I access the Results API? section for details), this will retrieve a list of all the participants who have created results that have been ETLed into your Results Warehouse at the time you are accessing the Results API. If you have more than 500 participants in your Results Warehouse, at the bottom of the page you will see a link that looks similar to the following:
If you wanted to view participants 501 and on, you would enter the address from the href= part of the above entry to navigate to the second page of participants.
A list of participants from the Participants feed includes entries for each participant in the list. Here is an example entry for a single participant:
incandenza_h
href="Participants(804)/TopicScores" />
804
James
Brother of Mario and Orin
2011-06-16T05:28:49
Each participant entry includes an ID, which is a URL that allows you to return to this particular entry at any time without having to retrieve the entire list of participants, which can be quite lengthy. The above example's ID, as you can see from the tag, is:
A participant entry not only returns information about a particular participant, but it may also include navigation links, which are links to related Results API entries from other feeds. The above example includes three navigation links, which are identified by tags. The first navigation link in an entry will always be a link to itself and the ones after links to entries from other feeds. In this example, the second navigation link is a link to all the results for this participant:
To navigate to the list of results for this participant, you would append the address in the href= section of the navigation link to the participant entry's URL, which would look like the following:
The list of results that the above URL would retrieve would include all the assessment results that have been ETLed into the Results Warehouse for this participant. From there, you could use other navigation links to visit other related entries. Because all the Results API links are internally linked to each other, you could literally go on forever, jumping from related data to related data.

What Does Science Say About the Three Second Rule?
You really were looking forward to taking a bite of that hamburger, carrot, Popsicle, gummy bear, you name it, but one second ago it landed on the floor. Within another second, you've swooped it up and are now considering the three second rule. Should this age old meme justify your blowing it off and sticking it your mouth acting like nothing happened?
Given that the three second rule is so well known, health experts weighing in on it is nothing new, but for those of you who may not have thought twice about eating morsels that have hit the floor, here's a little bit of scientific food for thought. The Daily Mail reports that researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University tested different foods — bread with jam, cooked pasta, ham, a plain biscuit and dried fruit — for different lengths of time on the floor. After three, five and 10 seconds on the floor, the researchers studied the food for any potentially harmful bacteria it may have picked up.
The Daily Mail has more on the results:
The study revealed that dropped foods with a high salt or sugar content were safer to eat after being retrieved, as is less chance of harmful bacteria surviving on such items.
Eating processed food from the floor poses the lowest risk — one of its few benefits — given that it generally contains such high levels of sugar and salt.
MMU technical officer Kathy Lees said: "No specific organisms were detected on the biscuit, which has a low water activity level and low adhesion ability.
"Ham is a processed meat preserved with salt and nitrates which prevents the growth of most bacteria.
"The cooked pasta had a slightly increased yeast count after five seconds and very low levels of Klebsiella were detected at all contact times, three, five and ten seconds."
The dried fruit also displayed Klebsiella after five and ten seconds and the yeast count was too numerous to count.
"The bread and jam showed no bacterial growth after time on the floor, which can be linked to the high sugar content of the jam which makes it unlikely to support microbial growth."
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation also recently reported on the three second rule, and their expert said it is really never acceptable to follow this practice:
Food technologies research scientist Phillip Button says it's never safe to eat anything that's touched the floor.
"From my understanding just don't bother".
"Even five seconds is enough for a substantial amount of bugs to latch on to the food."
Of all the germs that are on the ground or on the floor of your home, fecal matter is one of the most common contaminants says Dr Button.
Surprised? If you are strong proponent of eating food dropped on the floor for a short amount of time, researchers recommend frequent washing of the floor — once a day — with a mop-head that is replaced every three months or more. Button said while it may seem like carpeting would be a safer bet to eat from, hardwood and tile are most likely cleaner.

The visual identity of the European
The visual identity of the European Social Charter, created by the Italian artist Luca Rimini, is always published together with the logo of the Council of Europe. It illustrates three faces which unite to form a hand, as a symbol of unity, solidarity and cooperation. The hand may also be seen as offering protection and as being a vector of control. This reflects what the Charter is about and what the European Committee of Social Rights is seeking to achieve – the implementation of human social rights through the efforts of the States Parties to this instrument, and subject to compliance within a legal framework monitored by an independent body of a judicial nature.

Resist temptation: concentrate on the correct concentrations
Most detergent products are designed to work at a specific concentration. The formulation, concentration and pH are a good measure of the strength of the solution. The temptation is to use more chemical in order to achieve better cleaning or faster results.
When cleaning carpet, resist this temptation! First, excess detergent will likely leave excess residue on the carpet, which can attract soils. Plus, using extra product will start to cost you serious money. Just calculate the cost of repeatedly using even one extra ounce per gallon of concentrate over a period of days or weeks!
Most importantly, many detergent systems need a specific amount of water to function properly. Making and using stronger-than-recommended concentrations may not actually clean as well.

What is a Slushie Machine?
A slushie, or also known as a slush, slushy, or slushee, is simply flavored ice. It comes in different kinds of drinks, including frozen carbonated beverages, symbolized by the Slurpee or ICEE. Aside from those, there are also frozen coffee drinks and frozen alcoholic drinks, and other more conventional slush drinks. You can also find instant slush drinks that are formed via super-cooling.
The difference between a slushie and other frozen drinks is that ice never freezes into cubes or blocks. It just remains as tiny icy crystals. This becomes possible by using a slushie machine. A slushie machine is a type of blender that we usually see in convenience stores and fast-food restaurants that serve frozen carbonated beverages. But have you ever wondered how these machines work? How do they turn beverages into a slush? If you are also curious, then read on to know more about what a slushie machine is and how it works.
History of the Slushie Machine
Machines that are used to make frozen beverages were invented in the late 1950s by Omar Knedlik. The idea for making a slushed ice drink was thought of when Knedlik's soda fountain got broken. This forced him to put his sodas in a freezer to keep them cool, but that caused them to become slushy. Well, that wasn't a problem because lots of people loved the slushy sodas. Therefore, he thought about making a machine that can help to make a slushie, slush, or Slurpee.
The slushie machine that Knedlik invented soon became popular, that's why he decided to hire Ruth E. Taylor to create a marketing name and logo for his invention. Taylor came up with the name ICEE, and she also designed the original logo, which is still used in the present time. The very first slushie machines made use of an automotive air conditioning unit.
7-Eleven started anauthorizing deal with the ICEE company in 1965 to sell the product under certain conditions. One of the conditions was that 7-Eleven must use a different name for the product. The other condition was that the company was only allowed to sell the product in 7-Eleven locations in America, this was a non-compete clause to ensure that the two drinks never went head to head for distribution rights. In 1967, 7-Eleven then sold the product, which became known as the "Slurpee".
Today, slushie machines come in different varieties, and they are very popular in many different stores and restaurants. They are even famous at parties where alcohol is added in making frozen cocktail drinks.
a slushie machine that features different flavors
How Do You Use a Slushie Machine?
Slushie machines mix up the drink flavoring, which is usually a mixture of water, sugar, flavor, and coloring. While most alcohol drink makers require you to insert ice cubes into the machine to be crushed or shaves, a slushie machine uses water instead, to make the icy slush from scratch.
However, if you will be using a small home slushie machine, most of them do not have the freezing capabilities like the ones for commercial use. Therefore, you will need to insert some crushed ice to make some homemade slushies. Though, this might not have the same icy consistency compared to store-bought slushies.
To make a slushie, water is placed into the machine, and then it's turned on to churn. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes to make the basic slush. This depends on the size of the machine, and as well as the size of the holding container for the finished product.
How are Flavorings Added in a Slushie Machine?
Early manually-operated slushie machines crush the ice after the flavored syrup was added as the drink was placed into a paper cup. But modern slushie machines, on the other hand, add syrup to the ice in the machine so that it gives out the slush in ready-to-drink form.
When adding some flavorings in a slushie machine, the syrup is measured using a mixing vat or bottle. Then, a preset amount of water is added. It is then shaken to mix the two liquids. After mixing, it is poured into an opening either at the back or top of the slushie machine. The fluid will then go into the cooling cylinder, and the icing will start. More modern slushie machines supply the mixture from an opening on the front of the machine, which can be operated by a valve.
How Do Slushie Machines Maintain Slush?
It is quite simple to use a slushie machine, but you might also wonder how it maintains the slush after it is made. Many commercial slushie machines are stored in a metal cabinet because of the amount of use they receive from self-serve customers. But there are also other slushie machines that store the icy drink in a glass or plastic container that is attached to the top of the freezing unit. These machines are usually dispensed by employees. Meaning, they receive less abuse from the customers.
Slushie machines have a compressor and a sealed cooling cylinder. To maintain slush, the ice drink mixture is continually circulated in the storage area by a circular auger or sometimes plastic mixing paddles. This helps in retaining the texture of the ice mixture at a temperature that will not allow additional freezing or melting. Slushie machines also have a thermostat on the front or side of the unit. This allows you to change the temperature for the perfect mix.
A slushie machine is a pretty interesting drink maker. Know that you know what a slushie machine is and how it works, maybe you might want to try hiring a slushie machine when you throw a party, or maybe buy your own machine to make some cool and refreshing slushie anytime at home.

Harvest, moose and cane transport
The cane harvest in the geographic valley of the Cauca River is carried out at an approximate cultivation age of 13 months and through two systems: semi-mechanized and mechanized
The semi-mechanized harvest consists of making manual cutting of the stem at ground level by cutters, who remove the bud and leaves when the cut is made in green. The long cane is left in neat jets on the ground, then it is collected by lifting machines and deposited in transport wagons. The performance of the cutters is reported between 2-4 t / man / day for semi-clean cane and between 5-7 t / man / day for previously burned cane.
Lifter in semi-mechanized harvest system.
In the mechanized harvest, integral self-propelled machines are used, which have different mechanical and hydraulic systems to cut the bud, make the basal cut, chop the stems, remove the leaves and raise the harvested cane to deposit it in transport wagons. Combine yield is reported in 24-25 ton / h in semi-clean cane. At present about 50% of the harvested cane in the geographical valley of the Cauca River is carried out through the mechanical system.
Mechanized harvesting system with self-propelled combine, articulated tract and HD 20000 wagon.
Cenicaña has conducted research on the impact of the use of both semi-mechanized and mechanized harvesting equipment in different cane varieties. Based on the results obtained, some recommendations have been made to mills and suppliers:
- Make use of freight wagons of less weight and capacity to transport the cane inside the lots.
- Correlate the dimensions of the wagons with the field design.
- Correlate the size of the wagons and the capacity of the tractors.
- Supervise harvest work.

What is the Difference Between LTC and LTV, and How are They Used in CRE Financing?
Written by: Lucro Staff 2 years, 8 months ago
Commercial real estate financing involves several different kinds of loans. In order for real estate investors to be able to borrow the money they need to finance their project, both the investor and their project must be assessed for risks. The more risk identified with the borrower or the project, the stricter terms lenders will offer. That's where LTC and LTV come into play. Below we define what the two terms mean, how they work, and what their roles are in CRE financing.
LTC—What is it and how does it work?
LTC stands for loan-to-cost. LTC is a ratio used in commercial real estate financing to determine how much of a development project will be financed by debt versus equity. LTC is defined as the value of the loan divided by the cost of the project.
Lenders use LTC as a high-level metric to set a basic standard of the risk they're willing to accept for a construction loan for a new project. The higher the loan to cost, the more risk the lender is taking on if the development struggles. Loan to cost values are set by market rates, and tend to get higher during bull markets.
A commercial real estate loan is conventionally taken with an LTC percentage anywhere from 50% to 80%. For example, if the total cost of construction is $1,000,000, a lender may offer a loan amount of $800,000, which would correlate to an LTC of 80%.
LTV—What is it and how does it work?
LTV is an acronym standing for "Loan To Value. It is similar, but not the same, as LTC. LTV is the ratio of the value of a loan to the market value of the property, as opposed to the cost of construction for a project. In other words, LTV is the mortgage amount divided by the appraised value of the property. When LTVs are concerned, there is generally an appraiser involved.
It is obviously more difficult to predict the value for CRE that has yet to be built, which is where pro forma financial modeling comes in. The most common scenarios in CRE development involve originating a LTC loan during the construction period, which will be refinanced with a LTV loan once the construction is completed. Once there is a finished product (or at least a partially-constructed asset), it is much easier to determine the value of the asset, which makes a LTV loan more viable.
LTC, LTV, & CRE Financing
Both LTC and LTV are vital components when it comes to commercial real estate financing. They are tools to help lenders determine the risk level they're willing to accept for a certain asset. This in turn determines the size of the loan a lender is willing to provide. Projects that are deemed to be higher risk will have lower LTC or LTV ratios, as determined by market rates.

Definition of Homozygote
Homozygote: A person who has two identical forms of a particular gene, one inherited from each parent.
For example, a girl who is a homozygote for cystic fibrosis (CF) received the cystic fibrosis gene from both of her parents and therefore has cystic fibrosis.
The opposite of a homozygote is a heterozygote, a person who has two different forms of a particular gene. For example, the father and mother of a cystic fibrosis child are heterozygotes for cystic fibrosis (CF). Each carries one normal gene and one cystic fibrosis gene but has no signs or symptoms of the disease.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

UNlisted's Andre Fraser: How does sound relate to color, heat?
(Associated Press )
The Republican Lifestyle Desk By The Republican Lifestyle Desk The Republican
on September 23, 2013 at 5:24 AM, updated September 23, 2013 at 5:26 AM
The hotter a flame is, the farther along the color spectrum it is.
Springfield High School of Science and Technology
You are watching "MinutePhysics" of Vsauce on the YouTube app on your phone at 11 p.m., unable to go to sleep. You click on a rather long video of the sound of an astrological body in the universe, lowered by x^10 octaves. You close your eyes, and you find that you can see a white-blue light. You wrap yourself tighter in your sheets. Despite it being 95 degrees, you feel cold.
So what does it mean? What does the sound of heat look like?
andrefraser.jpgAndre Fraser
According to that physics teacher we all had in school, everything functions at specific wavelengths. Hitting a standard fork tuned to A will provide a note at 440 Hz, or A4. Boiling water in a pot will cause the molecules to speed up. Colors of light vibrate at a frequency with the infrared-ultraviolet spectrum.
Is it possible for sound, heat, and color to be related in any way?
If you take a cube of ice 10 cubic centimeters, and put it in a pot over a flame, it melts. It melts because the bond keeping the molecules of the ice together isn't strong enough for the energies provided by the molecules, and the molecules that were once vibrating slowly next to each other are able to vibrate at a faster speed.
Although, why are we still calling it speed. Things vibrate at frequencies. Continue heating the water even more, the molecules are loose enough to become gaseous and evaporate into the air.
So then why is orange considered a warmer color than blue? Is it because orange reminds us of warm days full of sunshine, and blue reminds us of the cool water we drink during that day?
Perhaps, but colors react quite the opposite to heat. If you strike a match and touch the red flame, you would feel it sting for a while, but not for too long.
Meanwhile, if you lit a Bunsen burner and touched the blue flame, you would certainly feel pain for a much longer time than the match inflicted.
Why? Blue flames are hotter than red flames, obviously. The hotter a flame is, the farther along the color spectrum it is, starting from red and advancing to blue, and eventually white.
But what does that mean about hearing colors or seeing sounds? Is it possible that hearing sounds, with lower frequencies, can also lead to seeing colors of proportionally lower frequencies?
Does our brain amplify sounds by about 10 trillion, and prospectively force us to perceive the sight of a relative color in the void of vision? Does it work the other way? Is the ringing in our ear our brain slowing down the frequency of the blue on the wall we have been staring intently at for the past hour? Is that what musicians refer to when they describe the music rather colorfully?
Can science ever find a relationship between sound, heat, and visible light/colors? Perhaps one day. For today, though, all we can do is just wonder. Perhaps one of you young scientists reading this will be inspired to find an answer.

ruby on rails and salesforce
How you can integrate Ruby on Rails and Salesforce? This question and more will be resolved in this article. Let's start! Ruby on Rails (Rails) is an open-source web application framework, written in the Ruby programming language, that is used in many big-name applications, like GitHub, Airbnb, Hulu, Zendesk, and more. And as with all open-source projects, you can always contribute code.
The Rails Doctrine
Rails has some interesting pillars that every developer should know:
 1. Optimized for programmer happiness – "Ruby is designed to make programming not only easy but also fun" (Yukihiro Matsumoto)
 2. Convention over Configuration – The environment in which you work assumes many logical situations by default, so if you adapt to them rather than creating your own rules each time, programming becomes an easier and more productive task
 3. Rails is 'omakase' – Omakase is when you don't know what to order in a restaurant and let the chef choose. In Ruby, this is the practice of letting others assemble your stack for you.
Check out the official site of Ruby on Rails and go deep into Ruby.
Integrating Ruby on Rails (Rails) with Salesforce
Salesforce, as the leading CRM, is constantly working to innovate, making it a great platform to integrate your applications with. Rails, like many other platforms, is frontend agnostic, giving you the flexibility to choose the tools and technologies that make the most sense for your project. Salesforce brings a robust set of APIs into the mix, letting you make use of the data and logic in Salesforce within your Ruby application.
Pick the Right API(s)
This is the one area where you'll need to make some choices, depending on what you need your application to do with Salesforce. Knowing which APIs you need will help guide which gems to install.
 - SOAP API – Create, retrieve, update or delete records, such as accounts, leads, and custom objects. Allows you to maintain passwords, perform searches, and much more. Optimized for real-time client applications that update a few records at a time. Indeed you can use it for processing many records, but when the data sets contain hundreds of thousands of records, SOAP API is less practical. Process data from a few thousand to millions of records very simple with the Bulk API.
 - REST API – Powerful, convenient, and simple REST-based web services interface for interacting with Salesforce. Based on the same underlying data model and standards objects as the SOAP API. (Other REST APIs that may be of interest: User Interface API, Connect REST API.)
 - Bulk API – This is based on REST principles and is optimized for loading or deleting large sets of data. You can use it to query, queryAll, insert, update, upsert, or delete many records asynchronously by submitting batches. Salesforce processes batches in the background. Also, another benefit of the Bulk API is that it has higher record limits.
Get Authenticated
Salesforce leverages OAuth 2.0 for authentication. There's no need to code any of this from scratch, just leverage the Ruby gems (ruby software packages) restforce and omniauth-salesforce. Check out connectSFDC for a rails project with omniauth-salesforce installed and ready to interact with a Salesforce Connected app.
Integrate Your Application
If your application needs real-time access and is only updating a few records at a time, you can make use of the Restforce gem to access the REST API.
 1. Add 'restforce' or install manually with 'gem install restforce')
 2. Instantiate your client object and authenticate using OAuth.
 'Client ='
 3. Query away. (See the official Restforce documentation for all your options.)
For the SOAP API, use Soapforce
 1. Add 'soapforce' to your Gemfile or install manually with 'gem install soapforce'.
 2. Instantiate your client object and authenticate using OAuth.
 'client ='
 3. Query as needed. (See the Soapforce Github page for options.)
 4. Log out.
For the Bulk API, use SalesforceBulkAPI
 1. Add 'salesforce_bulk_api' to your Gemfile or install manually with 'gem install salesforce_bulk_api'
 2. Authenticate using restforce with OAuth.
 'client =…'
 3. Instantiate using the Restforce client.
 'salesforce ='
 4. Query as needed. (See the SalesforceBulkAPI page for options.)
Much of the groundwork has been done for you with these gems. The robust Salesforce APIs make it easier to bring the functionality and data into your Rails app. (Not into Ruby? You could always check out our article on Python with Salesforce.)
Let us know how you're approaching your Ruby on Rails and Salesforce projects.

If you want the names that have 123 anywhere in them:
move *123*.* c:\newfolder
If you want the 123 to always be the 4th, 5th, and 6th characters:
move???123*.* c:\newfolder
If you want only.pdf files with 123 (either of the above matches):
move *123*.pdf c:\newfolder
Works either from a batch file or directly from the command prompt.
The? matches a single character, the * matches one or more. These are called wildcard operators or simply wildcards.
To see how the wildcard operators work, open a command ("DOS") window in the folder you want to use, and try (dir is for a directory listing, and can't hurt anything to experiment with):
dir *.*
dir *123*
dir *123*.pdf
dir???123*.pdf

The examples I gave you do exactly that - the wildcard gives you multiple (one or more) matches. See my last sentence, and see the dir command in the command-line reference. – Ken White Aug 8 '12 at 1:30

No need for a batch file - the move command with a wildcard will do that itself:

In order to increase the count rate capability of a neutron detection system as a whole, we propose a multi-stage neutron detection system. Experiments to test the effectiveness of this concept were carried out on Fusion Neutronics Source. Comparing four configurations of alignment, it was found that the influence of an anterior stage on a posterior stage was negligible for the pulse height distribution. The two-stage system using 25 mm thickness scintillator was about 1.65 times the count rate capability of a single detector system for d-D neutrons and was about 1.8 times the count rate capability for d-T neutrons. The results suggested that the concept of a multi-stage detection system will work in practice.

GEF and UNEP Launch Global Platform for Efficient Lighting
25 September 2009: The Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) have launched the "Global Market Transformation for Efficient Lighting Platform," a public-private partnership directed at reducing global energy demand for lighting.
The Platform aims to transform lighting markets, primarily in developing countries, by fostering the usage and production of energy efficient lighting while gradually discontinuing use of incandescent lighting, and substituting traditional fuel-based lighting with modern, efficient alternatives such as solid-state lighting (SSL) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps. It is hoped that, through these efforts, global demand for lighting energy can eventually be reduced by up to 18 percent.
In attendance for the event was UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner, who noted that "in terms of climate change, this is among the lowest of low-hanging fruit. Eight percent of global greenhouse gas emissions are linked with lighting; this project can by 2014 make a big dent in these while saving people money too." [UN News Centre] [GEF press release]

text: Misalignment is one of the key reasons for vibrations in most of the rotating system. The present study focuses on interactions among speed, load, and defect severity by investigating their effect on the system vibration. Response surface methodology (RSM) with root-mean-square (RMS) as a response factor is used to understand the influence of such interactions on the system performance. Experiments are planned using design of experiments, and analysis is carried out using analysis of variance (ANOVA). It is observed that speed has a remarkable effect on RMS value in both parallel and angular types of misalignment and affects the system performance. RSM results revealed that a change in load has less impact on vibration amplitude in case of horizontal and vertical directions, but there is a significant variation in RMS value in axial direction for both types of misalignment. A slight increase in the RMS value with an increase in defect severity is observed in the axial direction. These observations will help to understand the misalignment defect and its effect in a better way.


What are the objectives of Primary Nursing and Team Nursing?
Primary Care Nursing: to promote autonomy and competency on a single nurse as all duties and responsibilities in taking care of a patient for his or her duration of stay is delegated entirely on a single nurse. It also aims to produce a nurse that is specialized in an area or a given setting to further improve the nursing practice and patient care.
Team Nursing: to provide the best patient-centered care. Since other minor duties are delegated to UAP's, LPN's and Nurse Aids, the nurse gets to spend more time by the patient's bedside doing delicate nursing care that cannot be given to any other members of the team. Another goal is to train the nurse to be flexible. As the nurse is not confined in the care of a single patient, he or she will be able to learn to adjust accordingly to different needs of different patients. Team nursing is also a training ground for nurses to become nurse leaders and nurse managers of a team; this can be useful as a preparation for professional advancement.

Stereo-B Triangle UFO
An odd triangle shaped object captured on video December 27 – 29 by NASA's Stereo- B spacecraft is the latest video which UFO hunters and conspiracy theorists believe depicts an enormous triangle UFO in outer space heading towards Earth. NASA's Stereo-B spacecraft is one of two probes parked on either side of the sun which together produces a 360 view of the inner solar s system.
UFO hunters claim that the video depicts Venus, Earth and on the opposite side heading towards Earth; a mysterious huge triangle shaped UFO. According to the claims of the UFO conspiracists, in comparison with the planetary objects within view the actual size of the UFO would be immense.
This is not the first time that UFO hunters have discovered what they believed to be a gigantic UFO among images captured by these stereo probes. However, this time the team of scientists at NASA who work with the data from the probes decided to address the claim directly.
In a nutshell, the scientists at NASA explained the UFO seen on the on the video is actually just a trick of light. The NASA scientists wrote, at the same time as the strange looking feature (UFO) starts becoming visible, the very bright planet Venus enters the field of view from the lower left.
The scientists emphasized that Venus and the triangle seen opposite each other across the middle of the field remain in step as they move and this is because the strange triangle shaped object is actually an internal reflection of the planet Venus within the telescope optics.
In this optical phenomenon, incoming light reflects back and forth both off lenses and mirrors inside the telescope. The shapes of artifacts produced by the scattered light typically are triangles and circles of various sizes depending on the relative orientations of those lenses and mirrors within the telescope. In fact, this effect has been observed many times before, according to scientists and NASA. So what do you think was the ufo real?


ONE of Wales' most prominent buildings was bathed in blue light last night in support of an anti-bullying campaign.
The National Museum Wales in Cardiff, above, was floodlit to mark the Welsh Assembly Government's Respecting Others Week.
As part of the campaign, many children throughout Wales wore blue T-shirts to school, so the Assembly decided to light one of the nation's iconic buildings in the same colour.
The National Museum was chosen as it's one of the country's most recognisable buildings and is in a busy area.
"The Assembly Government wants to get the message across that when others stand by and do nothing, it actually encourages bullying tactics," said Minister for Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills, Jane Davidson.
"We want to get straight to the point to change behaviour, so that from now on, people will step forward, have a mutual respect for each other and help tackle bullying together."

I am not completely green to Python, but I am interested in learning/keeping good practices while I develop my skills.
I want to remove the high and low values from a list of numbers, which I know how to do, but am curious if there is a better/preferred way to do this.
mylist = [1, 4, 0, 3, 2]
mylist.sort() #[0, 1, 2, 3, 4]
trimmed = mylist[1:-1] #[1, 2, 3]
I get the desired answer, but did I get the right answer appropriately?

Here's another way to do it if you don't want to change the order of the items:
Assumes that the high/low don't have any duplicates in the list, or if there are, that it's OK to remove only one of them.
This will need to do 2-4 passes through the list: two to find the max and min values, and up to 2 to find the values to remove (if they both happen to be at the end of the list). You could reduce this to one by writing a Python loop to find the max and min in a single pass (and remember the index of each so you can delete the items by index after the loop). However, min() and max() are implemented in C, so replacing them with Python code would probably result in lower performance even if it allowed you to reduce the number of passes.

Note that doing 4 passes is still probably faster than sorting the list, but if you want mylist to remain and have the trimmed version in trimmed, you should copy it first. – sverre Apr 13 '11 at 23:03
Yep. trimmed = mylist[:] and then do the manipulations on trimmed. – kindall Apr 13 '11 at 23:08

text: Chittorgarh is very well known and famous for its natural production of custard apple. These custard apple are also called sita fal because sita (Wife of Lord Ram) had eaten these fruits. In the season of winter chittorgarh fort becomes the custard apple field. Here custard apple trees are automatically grown. These fruits are then sold to local peoples and also exported. Both indians and foreigners enjoy eating this fruit. Chittorgarh must be developed as largest custard apple hub in the world and fruit could be exported also.

Henry Hamilton Honoré (February 19, 1824 – August 16, 1916) was an American businessman.
Honoré moved to Chicago, Illinois, from Louisville, Kentucky in 1855 and made his fortune in real estate. Henry Honoré fathered six children with his wife, Eliza J. Carr: Adrian C., Bertha (known as Cissie), Henry, Nathaniel, Ida, and Lockwood.
Honoré's daughter, Bertha, married millionaire real estate developer Potter Palmer in 1871, shortly before the Great Chicago Fire destroyed the Honoré Building at Adams and Dearborn in downtown Chicago.
Another daughter, Ida Marie Honoré, married General Frederick Dent Grant, son of President Ulysses S. Grant, in Chicago in 1874. Through this marriage, Honoré became the grandfather of American writer Julia Dent Cantacuzène Spiransky-Grant, also known as Princess Cantacuzène, who chronicled the Russian Revolution from a first-person perspective.
Honoré was responsible for the assemblage of lots and acreage along Dearborn Street, creating an office and commercial district. Honore St. (1832W) in Chicago is named after him.

LockState ResortLock 1-Wire Reader
The LockState ResortLock 1-Wire iButton Reader is a special wire device meant to help ResortLock users program their locks. The wire, which is actually an iButton reader, facilitates the transfer of data programmed through the PC into the iButton which can then be used to transmit information to your installed ResortLocks on any door.
The 1-Wire cable plugs conveniently into the USB port, so it's compatible to all computers. Once plugged in, the computer will automatically set up the drivers for the device. These drivers, however, can also be downloaded from ResortLock's website. Use a computer that has the ResortLock application software installed and from there you can program a
number of things, such as:
- New Entry Codes
- Daylight Savings Mode
- Set Light to Blink
- Classroom or storehouse modes
Once the information has been issued to the iButton, the information can then be relayed by touching the button onto the front of the lock, making sure to press the reset button on the locks first. If done properly, a beeping sound will be heard and all the date, time, codes, and other settings would have been set.
Conversely, the 1-Wire reader is used to register the serial numbers of multiple locks to your computer, allowing you to program different locks with ease.

How many standard drinks can you have before driving if you are under 20 years old? How many standard drinks can you have before driving if you are under 20 years old?
 - A. One
 - B. Two
 - C. Three
 - D. None
 The correct answer is D
 The legal limit is 0 milligrams per 100 millilitres of blood. A drink consumed before driving will almost certainly put you over this limit. So you must not drink just before driving if you are under 20 years old as there is a zero alcohol limit.
How to calculate if you are over the legal drink driving limit
You cannot calculate your blood alcohol level because it depends on a large number of variables such as your age, weight, gender, general health and fitness, the amount of alcohol you've drunk, the type of alcohol you've drunk, and whether you've eaten (how much and how recently).
A small drink could put you over the limit. If you're stopped and your breath alcohol reading is between 30-150mcg per litre of breath you could be fined and given 50 demerit points. That means you are half way to being disqualified. You will receive a notice from NZTA that you have accumulated 50 demerit points and if this total exceeds 100 within a 2-year period you will be disqualified.
If you are caught with more than 150mcg of alcohol per litre of blood then you could be fined up to $2250 and sent to prison for up to 3 months and be disqualified from driving for at least 3 months, plus you'll still get 50 demerit points. If you are disqualified you may be able to apply for a special licence with zero alcohol or an alcohol interlock requirement.
If you blow over the limit you may be asked to provide an evidential blood or breath test. It is an offence to refuse consent.
Younger drivers tend to have less ability to cope with alcohol intake. Add to that their lack of experience and you can understand why the risk of having an accident is increased dramatically.

Advanced Hole Inspection 341
"Advanced Hole Inspection" provides an overview of hole inspection using noncontact instruments. Holes that require a specific type of fit, either clearance, interference, or transition, also require a higher degree of accuracy. Noncontact hole inspection devices provide this, as well as an ability to measure fragile parts and high volumes of parts. These more sophisticated variable hole inspection devices include coordinate measuring machines, measuring microscopes, optical comparators, borescopes, laser systems, and air gages.
Job specifications, part dimensions, and feature size all determine which hole inspection device to use on holes requiring a certain fit. Choosing a tool without a high degree of accuracy could result in an out-of-tolerance hole passing inspection. After taking this class, users will be able to describe advanced methods for inspecting hole dimensions and geometric features in a lab setting.

Job Roles
Vocabulary Term Definition
air gage A variable, noncontact instrument that uses pressurized air to pneumatically inspect a hole's inside diameter. Air gages are best for measuring features with tight tolerances.
allowance The difference between the smallest permissible hole and the largest permissible shaft. An allowance creates a certain kind of fit between mating parts.
axial movement Movement that occurs along or parallel to the axis of a part. A clearance fit allows for axial and/or radial movement.
bilateral tolerances A tolerance method using an equal plus and minus deviation from the specified dimension. Bilateral tolerances are preferred if deviation in either direction risks exceeding the absolute limits and can be equal or unequal.
binocular For use with both eyes simultaneously. A binocular eyepiece consists of two eyepieces fitted together side by side through which the user views the magnified object being inspected.
bore gage A handheld mechanical or electronic contact variable measuring instrument that provides very accurate readings of hole sizes. A bore gage makes three points of contact within the hole.
borescope A variable, noncontact inspection instrument that uses light and magnification to optically inspect a hole's ID without taking dimensional measurements. A borescope inspects deep holes and cavities visually for flaws using a tube fitted with a lens at one end and an eyepiece through which an inspector can view the part.
clearance fit A fit that allows intentional space to exist between a hole and the shaft inserted into it. For a clearance fit, the shaft diameter is designed to be slightly smaller than the hole.
contact probes A type of probe that directly contacts the surface of the part it is measuring. Contact probes are the most common type of CMM probes.
continuous analog scanning CAS. A method of gathering coordinates that requires the stylus to stay in constant contact with the part's surface. CAS is especially useful for performing reverse engineering.
coordinate measuring machine CMM. A sophisticated measuring instrument with a flat polished table and a suspended probe that measures parts in three-dimensional space. CMMs operate using either contact or noncontact methods.
eyepiece The part of an instrument through which the inspector views the interior of the part. A borescope has either an eyepiece or a video screen through which an inspector examines the inside diameter of a hole.
fiber-optic cables A group of thin, flexible glass or plastic optical fibers that are bundled together in a single cable and used to transmit light. Borescopes often use fiber-optic cables to connect the eyepiece to the probe.
indicator A device that displays a measurement. An indicator may be a dial with a needle or a digital readout.
inside diameter ID. The interior surface of a cylindrical workpiece or round hole. A borescope visually inspects a hole's inside diameter.
interference fit A tight fit designed so that the smallest permissible shaft is larger than the largest permissible hole. Force is required to assemble parts with an interference fit.
laser probe A measuring device that uses a narrow beam of light to take measurements. On a CMM, the laser projects onto the part's surface, and a lens on the probe then reads the beam's position.
laser system A variable, noncontact inspection instrument that optically measures the distance between a light source and a hole's inside diameter. The laser system sends out a single light wave in a straight beam that is detected by sensors and converted into an electrical signal.
light wave The pulsation in space that transmits light energy. Laser light waves are a form of visible energy which is detected by sensors.
limit dimensions A tolerancing method using an absolute maximum and minimum allowable dimension. Limit dimensioning specifies a range of acceptable measurements instead of a target dimension.
measuring microscope A variable, noncontact inspection instrument that uses light and magnification to optically measure part features, such as holes. Also called a toolmaker's microscope, the measuring microscope is useful for inspecting smaller parts and features.
monocular For the use of only one eye. A monocular eyepiece consists of a single eyepiece through which the user views the magnified object being inspected.
noncontact probes A type of probe that measures a part without directly contacting the surface of the part. A laser probe is one type of noncontact probe.
optical comparator A sophisticated measuring instrument that projects an image of a part onto a screen to compare the shape, size, and location of its features to the original. Also called optical projectors, they can measure both surface and profile features of either the length and width of a part but not the depth.
out-of-round An irregularly shaped hole that is not totally round. Many out-of-round conditions are caused by lobing.
pneumatic instrument A device that uses a pressurized gas, such as air, to function. An air gage is an example of a pneumatic inspection tool.
probe A device on an inspection instrument that gathers measurement data from a part. On a borescope, the probe is the lens end that is inserted into the hole. On a CMM, the probe uses either contact or noncontact methods.
radial movement Movement that occurs perpendicular to the axis of a part. A clearance fit allows for axial and/or radial movement.
regulator A device that monitors the pressure level of the air in a pneumatic instrument. A regulator is one of the components in an air gage.
reticle A grid of lines displayed in the eyepiece of an optical instrument. A reticle is used to measure part features on a measuring microscope.
rotary laser A laser system that consists of a small revolving device attached to a probe which projects a light wave on the surface of the part being inspected. A computer then measures the distance between the center of the light source and the inside diameter surface.
software The programs and instructions that control the computer hardware functions and operations. Operators use software on a computer to calculate measurements on a CMM.
stylus A precision tip. On a CMM, the stylus is the spherical portion of the contact probe that is mounted on the shaft and makes contact with the part.
tolerance An unwanted but acceptable variation or deviation from a desired dimension of a part. A part within tolerances will meet specifications and pass inspection.
tolerance limits A boundary of allowable variation from a specified dimension. Each machining operation has a different expected range of tolerance limits.
touch trigger probe A type of contact probe that detects a feature on a part and generates an electronic signal to record its dimension. Touch trigger probes are the most accurate and commonly used probes on the CMM.
transition fit A fit with an allowance that permits both a clearance and an interference fit. For a transition fit, a clearance fit occurs with the smallest shaft diameter and the largest hole diameter, but an interference fit occurs with the largest shaft diameter and the smallest hole diameter.
unilateral tolerances A tolerancing method using a deviation in only one direction, either plus or minus, from the specified dimension. Unilateral tolerances are used if variation in only one direction risks exceeding the absoulte limits.
variable inspection A type of inspection that reveals the degree of variation from a given standard. Variable inspection gives the actual measurement of a part feature that can be compared with its specifications.
video probe A measuring device, also known as a vision probe, that takes a digital image of the part. The image is then broken up into tiny dots, which are measured and counted by the software.


inverse femtobarn
The inverse femtobarn (fb−1) is a measurement of particle-collision events per femtobarn; a measure of both the collision number and the amount of data collected.
One inverse femtobarn corresponds to approximately 100 trillion (1012) proton-proton collisions. Over a period of time, two streams of particles with a cross-sectional area, measured in femtobarns, are directed to collide. The total number of collisions is directly proportional to the luminosity of the collisions measured over this time.
Calculate the collision count by multiplying the integrated luminosity by the sum of the cross-section for those collision processes. This count is then expressed as inverse femtobarns for the time period (100 fb−1 in nine months).
Note: Do not use inverse femtobarn in the public section of the website where it can be avoided - it is unnecessarily technical. Convert to approximate numbers of collisions instead.

Conduction Error: What is conduction error?
Conduction error is a fault in a temperature sensor reading when heat is conducted along the temperature sensor body. The most common reason for conduction error is inadequate immersion into the application.
There are a number of ways to mitigate conduction error which are discussed here: Conduction Error in Temperature Sensors
