The Congress in Uruguay has passed a bill allowing adoption by gay and lesbian couples to adopt children.
The legislation is expected to pass in the Senate, where the ruling party has a majority.
The Senate will vote on the bill next month.
In December 2007, Uruguay's parliament passed legislation to recognise same-sex civil unions.
The country of 3.6m people was the first nation in South America to grant such protections, although some cities and regions throughout the continent have made similar legal provisions.
The Congress passed legislation creating a civil union registry for same-sex and unmarried heterosexual couples who have lived together for at least five years.
In May Uruguay lifted a ban on gays serving in its military.
The ban was imposed under the 1973-85 military dictatorship. Under it, people with "open sexual deviations", which includes homosexuality, were banned from entering the military academies.
The ban also included homosexuality among the "mental illnesses and disorders" that legally made a person unsuitable to join the armed forces.
Gay adoption has been opposed by the Roman Catholic Church in Uruguay.
Archbishop of Montevideo Nicolas Cotugno told the Catholic News Agency:
"The adoption of children by homosexual couples is not a question of religion, philosophy or sociology. It has to do with respect for human nature itself.
"To accept the adoption of children by homosexual couples is to go against human nature itself, and consequently, it is to go against the fundamental rights of the human being as a person."


Is "Result" a pre-defined variable inside the Scripts?
If I try to registry a new variable called "result" the Script returns a message saying that the identifier is repeated.
What's the mission of this variable a what is his type?
it's the result of the method. It matches the result type.
I understand "the result of the script", True?.
Can I set the result type of this "result"?
No it's the result of a function. it's a reserved identifier.

Fascination on Poinsettia
During the production of potted plants, various growth-regulating chemicals are used to manage plant height. Fascination (cytokinin/gibberellic acid, Valent USA Corp.) is a product that can be used to increase stem elongation on a wide range of crops and to prevent lower leaf yellowing during the production of lilies. The active ingredients in Fascination are gibberellins (A4+A7) and cytokinins, both of which are natural plant hormones.
Fascination can be used by poinsettia growers to increase plant height and bract size. This tool is especially useful to overcome stunted growth following an excessive application of a plant growth retarding chemical. For example, Bonzi (paclobutrazol, Syngenta Professional Products) is often used as a drench during poinsettia production to reduce unwanted stem elongation late in the crop. If Bonzi (or another growth-retarding chemical) is applied too early in the crop schedule, or at an excessive rate, bract size can be reduced.
For the past two years, we have conducted trials to determine the best application rate and timing to apply Fascination during poinsettia production. We also evaluated if Fascination could be used to increase bract size. This article presents research-based information on how to use Fascination on poinsettias treated with or without an early Bonzi drench. Results were similar in both years, so data from the second year are presented for simplicity.
'Freedom Red' poinsettia plants were delivered from Henry Mast Greenhouses, Byron Center, Mich., to Michigan State University (MSU) floriculture research greenhouses in September 2004. Plants were grown in 6-inch-round plastic containers filled with a commercial soilless medium (Suremix; Michigan Grower Products, Inc.) and were pinched to the sixth node from the soil level at Henry Mast Greenhouses. At MSU, plants were grown in a glass-glazed greenhouse with a constant temperature setpoint of 68¡ F. The photoperiod was maintained at nine hours throughout the experiment by pulling opaque black cloth from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. We performed two experiments to determine the effects of Fascination on poinsettias with and without a Bonzi drench application. In both experiments, a single foliar spray of Fascination (2 quarts per 100 sq.ft.) was made on varying dates for ç each treatment. A surfactant (Capsil, The Scotts Company LLC) was included in all spray applications at a rate of 16 oz. per 100 gal.
In our first experiment, Fascination was applied on one of five application dates (from 10 days before first color to 30 days after first color) and at 3 or 6 ppm, according to the experimental protocol (see Figure 1, page 66). In the second experiment, plants received a drench application of Bonzi at 2 ppm at bract color (October 14). The drench rate was high, and the timing was late in the crop cycle to intentionally elicit a decrease in bract size. For comparison, some plants were not treated with Bonzi and are referred to as "control, without Bonzi drench." Following the Bonzi drench, Fascination was applied at one of three application times (10-30 days after bract color) and at 3, 5 or 10 ppm, according to the experimental protocol (see Figure 2, page 66). There were 10 plants in each treatment.
For each treatment, plant height was measured on the day preceding the Fascination application and seven days after the application. Plant height was measured for each plant from the base of the pot to the apex of the shoot. Plant height measurements of the control treatment were taken on Oct. 14 and Nov. 20, 2004 (37 days apart).
At anthesis, the three largest branches were removed from each plant, and the five largest bracts per branch were detached (15 bracts per plant). The area of each bract was measured using a leaf area meter, and the total surface area of the selected bracts was calculated for each plant.
Increasing plant height. In both experiments, the timing of the Fascination application influenced the magnitude of stem elongation of 'Freedom Red'. Fascination applied 10 days after bract color or 10 days after a Bonzi drench resulted in the largest height increase. For example, Fascination applied 10 days following the Bonzi drench increased the average plant height by 1.7, 1.4 and 2.2 inches when used at 3, 5 and 10 ppm, respectively (see Figure 3, page 68). Fascination applied 20 days after a Bonzi drench had a smaller promotion of stem extension (less than 0.9 inches), and an application 30 days after a Bonzi drench had little or no effect on increasing plant height. Higher application rates of Fascination generally produced a similar or greater increase in stem elongation compared to lower rates.
Increasing bract area. The timing of the Fascination application influenced the final bract size of poinsettia in our study. A single application of Fascination 20-30 days after bract color or after a Bonzi drench resulted in the largest bract area. For example, in our first experiment, Fascination applied 30 days after bract color at a rate of 6 ppm increased bract area by about 15 percent compared to nontreated plants (see Figure 4A, left). Fascination applied at first bract color at rates of 3 or 6 ppm had the smallest effect on final bract area.
In our second experiment, the application of Fascination 20 days after a Bonzi drench increased bract area by 29 percent compared to control plants treated with the Bonzi drench alone (see Figure 5A, page 70). There was not a significant difference in bract area between plants treated 20 days after a Bonzi drench and control plants that did not receive a Bonzi application (see Figure 6, page 71). Bract size was similar or slightly larger at higher ç Fascination application rates compared to lower rates.
Increasing bract size relative to plant height. An objective of a Fascination application, with or without a Bonzi drench, is to increase bract size with little or no increase in plant height. Therefore, we calculated the ratio of bract area to height increase for each plant. A high ratio indicates a greater increase in bract size relative to the increase in plant height (usually desirable). A low ratio indicates a greater effect on plant height relative to bract size (usually undesirable).
The timing of the Fascination application influenced the ratio of bract area to height increase. In both experiments, the largest ratio (most desirable) occurred when Fascination was applied 30 days after bract color at 3 or 6 ppm (see Figures 4B and 5B, pages 69 and 70). An earlier application (10 days after bract color) had a smaller effect on bract size relative to the increase in plant height.
Our results indicate that Fascination can be used by poinsettia growers to increase plant height and promote bract expansion, especially on plants that have reduced bract size from an excessive or late growth retardant application. When warranted, we suggest applying Fascination as a spray at a rate of 3-5 ppm using a volume of 2 quarts per 100 sq.ft.
The amount of stem elongation and bract expansion from a Fascination spray depended on the time of application. If an increase in plant height is desired, then Fascination could be used before or soon after first color. During this time, a single spray application at 3-5 ppm increased plant height by 1-2 inches. A later application (20 or 30 days after bract color) produced little or no increase in plant height.
If an increase in bract size is desired, our results indicate that the best time to apply Fascination is 20-30 days after bract color. This late application will also have a smaller effect on increasing plant height. In addition, we noticed that late applications of Fascination made bract surfaces appear smoother and reduced bract crinkling. We did not observe any effect on bract color, although growers have reported that Fascination can slightly lighten the bract color.
In some cases, a second Fascination spray may be required to achieve the desired elongation effects. We suggest waiting at least 10 days between spray applications. Frequent applications and high rates can produce an undesirable spacing between the bracts. As with all plant growth regulators, we encourage growers to perform their own trials on a small scale to determine desirable rates for their growing conditions and for each poinsettia variety.

In this paper, a study of optical delay lines based on soliton propagation in coupled resonator optical waveguides is performed. For a given bit rate and required delay, design equations are given that relate the soliton peak power and collision period to the soliton width. To study the influence of higher order linear and nonlinear dispersion, a continuous wave propagation model incorporating these effects is also derived. Using this model, the soliton stability in the presence of higher order dispersion, optical loss and adjacent soliton pulses is numerically verified. It is also shown that soliton-based delay lines can achieve nanosecond delay at a propagation length of a few millimeters due to the high slow down factors that can be obtained.

There isn't a native powershell way to set the resolution. You could write in-line C# code in a powershell script to do it. Otherwise you would need to find a third party commandline application that does it and just call that from your script.

text: The initial molecular steps of the acid-catalyzed silica sol−gel process de-parting from tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) were investigated by in situ 29Si NMR and UV−Raman spectroscopy. The use of a substoichiometric H2O:TEOS molar ratio (r-value 0.2−1.2) slowed the silicate oligomerization reaction and allowed unraveling the initial steps of silica condensation. Molecular modeling confirmed Raman signal and 29Si NMR shift assignment. A comprehensive listing of all Raman and 29Si NMR assignments is provided, including unique Raman assignments of cyclosilicates and the linear tetramer. The combination of experiment and modeling allowed an analysis of the reaction kinetics. The derived kinetic model and the experimental observation both revealed that the H2O:TEOS molar ratio had a strong influence on the reaction kinetics but not on the reaction pathways. The multianalytical approach led to development of an oligomerization scheme. As dominant oligomerizations, chain growth, cyclodimerization, and branching were identified. Under the investigated conditions, chains did not grow longer than pentamer, and ring sizes were limited to 6-rings. Chains of 4 Si atoms and 4-rings were abundant species. Branched rings and chains were formed by attachment of dimers and trimers. Gelation proceeded from branched 4-rings and branched chains with limited hydroxyl functionalities.

Word Origin & History
World War II aviator slang for "unidentified aircraft, presumably hostile," probably ultimately from bogge, a variant of M.E. bugge "a frightening specter" (see bug). Thus it shares ancestry with many dialect words, such as bog/bogge (attested 16c.-17c.), bogeyman (16c.), boggart
"specter that haunts a gloomy spot" (c.1570, in Westmoreland, Lancashire, Cheshire, and Yorkshire). The earliest modern form appears to be Scottish bogle "ghost," attested from c.1500 and popularized c.1800 in Eng. literature by Scott, Burns, etc.
in golfing, c.1891, originally "number of strokes a good player is supposed to need for a given hole or course;" later, "score one over par" (1946); from the same source as bogey (1), on the notion of a "phantom" opponent, represented by the "ground score." The word was in
vogue at the time in Britain because of the popularity of the music hall tune "Hush, Hush, Hush, Here Comes the Bogey Man."
"One popular song at least has left its permanent effect on the game of golf. That song is 'The Bogey Man.' In 1890 Dr. Thos. Browne, R.N., the hon. secretary of the Great Yarmouth Club, was playing against a Major Wellman, the match being against the 'ground score,' which was the name given to the scratch value of each hole. The system of playing against the 'ground score' was new to Major Wellman, and he exclaimed, thinking of the song of the moment, that his mysterious and well-nigh invincible opponent was a regular 'bogey-man.' The name 'caught on' at Great Yarmouth, and to-day 'Bogey' is one of the most feared opponents on all the courses that acknowledge him." [1908, cited in OED]
As a verb, attested by 1948.

What are the different types of Wonkee Donkee Trend router bit?
 buy bits for woodworking
There are many different types of router bit or cutter. They can usually be classed as follows:
Groove-forming router cutters
 Examples of groove bits of different shapes for creating various groove forms in timber
Groove-forming cutters are designed to produce grooves in the surface of materials.
They do not usually have a pin or ball-bearing guide, and may require the use of a side fence, guide bush, or another method for guiding the router. A guide allows them to rout along the edge of materials as well in the surface.
 A close up of a bottom cut groove bit in a routing machine
Many groove-forming cutters have the bottom cut facility, and so can be used in a plunge router to cut into the surface of materials, rather than having to cut from the edge. bits without the bottom cut facility need to have an edge from which to start cutting. For more information, see: What are the parts of a Trend router cutter?
 A selection of straight groove-forming router bits for woodwork
Straight groove-forming router cutters
These bits have straight flutes and so produce straight-sided, flat-bottomed grooves in materials.
Examples include single and twin flute straight cutters, mortisers and pocket cutters.
 A selection of shaped groove-forming router bits
Shaped groove-forming router cutters
Shaped groove-forming router bits are usually two fluted and are typically used for decorative moulding or jointing applications. There is a huge range of different shape options for these bits for an array of groove profile shapes.
 Diagram showing that one shaped bit can create different profiles on a wooden edge depending on the height at which it is used
By changing the height of these router bits, or by altering the table fence or side fence position, different profiles can be produced using the same cutter. This can mean grooves of different sizes can be routed, and some cutters are designed so they will produce different shapes of grooves when they are altered.
Self-guided router cutters
 Examples of self-guided router bits in a selection of shapes
These cutters have a pin or ball bearing guide located either on the shank or below the cutting edges and are primarily designed for edge-forming applications.
They do not usually require a side fence or other external method of guiding, as their pin or bearing follows the edge of the workpiece or a template fitted above or beneath it. The width of the cut is controlled by the edge of the pin or bearing running along the workpiece.

Self-guided router bits can be used on workpieces with straight or curved edges, (for example, rectangular or circular tables,) and can be used for trimming, moulding, or rebating applications.
 Different sizes of bearing guide found on routing bits
With bearing guided versions, the bearing can usually be removed and replaced for a smaller or larger diameter one, in order to produce a differently shaped or sized cut.

Straight self-guided router cutters
Also called trimming and profiling cutters, these have straight flutes and are typically used on multi-layered materials, to trim one or more of the layers flush with one another.Accessories for woodworking with power tools
 Examples of shaped router bits that have bearing guides
Shaped self-guided router cutters
These are similar to shaped groove-forming cutters but with a pin guide or guide bearing located on their shank, or below their cutting edges. They are available in an array of designs for different tasks.
 Image showing that the location of the guide on a router bit has an effect on the way it is used
Shaped self-guided cutters with a shank-mounted guide often have the bottom cut facility, allowing them to plunge into the surface of materials like groove-forming cutters. Those with a bearing below their cutting edges can only be used to form the edge of materials.
Typical profiles include bevel, radius, dovetail, round over, and rebate cutters.
Joint-making router cutters (can be guided or non-guided)
 joint-making bits (Pilot and non-pilot bits) for woodworking
Examples include:
 joint making bit pair with mating sections and an example of the woodworking joint
Joint-making bits sometimes come as a pair that will cut two mating sections (two parts that fit together) in materials. These sections are then fitted together to form a joint. Some joint-making bits come with a guide pin or bearing attached. These are known as pilot bits and can be used to cut along the edge of materials. Other joint-making bits do not come with a guide. These are known as non-pilot bits and can be used to cut across the surface of a material.
Slotting and grooving router cutters
 A grooving routing bit with shims and spacers
Slotting and grooving cutters, also called arbor-mounted router bits, consist of single or multiple slotting groovers, or profile blocks, assembled on an arbor, using spacers, shims, and ball-bearing guides to adjust their proximity and depth of cut.

This form of cutter offers a high degree of versatility, as the basic components can be mounted in different combinations, using the shims, washers and spacers to vary their spacing.
Replaceable tip router cutters
 A replaceable tip bit and a selection of attachable blades
Replaceable tip router cutters are comprised of a solid tungsten carbide blade held by retaining screws to a ground steel body.
When dull, the blade can be rotated to expose up to three more cutting edges. Buy routing accessories from wonkee donkee

Indian Navy SSB Interview Procedure
Many defense aspirants dream of being an Indian Navy officer or army officer or Air Force officer. There are several aspects that a candidate needs to focus while attending SSB Interview as one has to cross this barrier of selection to get recruited in defense services. So as to be selected in Indian defense services overall development of personality, knowledge and body is required. Candidate need to brush up his knowledge and bring him officer like qualities, in short one need to adapt an environment of defense services, discipline and attitude to get in SSB Interview. First step is to apply through exams like National defense academy (NDA) or combined defense service examination (CDSE) or Air Force Common Admission Test (AFCAT).
Second method is to apply various army, navy or air force courses and get admission through academic records after graduation through which a candidate needs to go for SSB Interview. SSB Interview is conducted as test in which there are different stages that candidate have to crack. It's a complete procedure of 5 days and they are mentioned as below:
The very first day of selection is the stage-1, where the candidate faces picture perception and description test and intelligence test for the analyzing of aptitude level of candidate. The tests that are carried out are as follows:
- Picture Perception and description test
- Intelligence Test
- Analyzing the Picture
- Candidates need to focus on the vital points like facts, characters, moods in the image, Gender and their age. Keen observation is required when pictures are shown to aspirants for writing a brief story.
The second day of selection is based upon the selections that had happened before in the previous round of selection i.e. stage-1. Those candidates need to focus on the next stages that they will face for test like:
- Thematic Apperception Test
- Word Association Test
- Situation Reaction Test
- Self-Description Test
These tests are conducted to know that how much attention does candidate pay while observing and their sense of judging things and situations.
This is the stage from where the complete procedure of performing in a group is carried on that is known as GTO Round-1. In this stage candidates need to face several tasks like:
- Group Discussion
- Group Planning Exercise
- Progressive Group task.
- Group Obstacle Race
- Half Group Task
This is the stage-4 that is carried out after candidate clears their third round of interview which was carried on day-3 and in this stage the tasks carried are:
- Individual Obstacles
- Command tasks
- Final Group Tasks
This round is last and final in which the candidates complete all the tough modes of task and last round in which conference is held where interview officer panel interview candidate i.e. personal interview is carried out on day-5 just normal round of questioning.
Once these all days are cleared candidate got hired as per his scoring in per round from day-1 to day-5.

A New Species of Marsupial Frog (Anura: Hylidae: Gastrotheca)
A new species of Gastrotheca from the southern end of the Cordillera Azul in Peru seems to be most closely related to G. lateollota known only from the Cordillera Huancabamba in northern Peru. Both of these species and G. marsupiata, monticola and peruana produce tadpoles, whereas the other species of Gastrotheea in Peruvian Andes have direct development.

Academic Alliance grant for development of Mohs surgery AI tool
The Academic Alliance between Maastricht MUMC+ and Radboudumc supports strong collaboration in various areas of patient care, education, and research. The Academic Alliance Fund is designed to stimulate innovation and science within the academic alliance of the two centers.
During the awarded project, Geert Litjens, Daan Geijs, Avital Amir (CPG and Radboudumc), Lisa Hillen, Veronique Winnepenninckx and Nicole Kelleners (MUMC+) aim to improve Mohs surgery with artificial intelligence (AI). Mohs surgery is a precise surgical technique used to treat skin cancer. During Mohs surgery, thin layers of cancer-containing skin are progressively removed and microscopically examined until only cancer-free tissue remains. In the proposed project, a basal cell carcinoma detection algorithm will be adapted to assist the dermatologist with determining if surgical edges are free of cancer. The algorithm will be made available through an app, and a customized smartphone holder will enable users to assess the microscopic images through the camera of their phone. The technique will be validated during a prospective clinical trial in Radboudumc and MUMC+, which will be extended to other peripheral centers.

text: Paper by Anna Boldina, Paul H. P. Hanel & Koen Steemers: "Inactivity is one of the major health risks in technologically developed countries. This paper explores the potential of a series of urban landscape interventions to engage people in physical activity. Online surveys were conducted with 595 participants living in the UK by inviting them to choose between conventional pavement or challenging routes (steppingstones, balancing beams, and high steps) using photorealistic images. Across four experiments, we discovered that 80% of walkers claim they would pick a challenging route in at least one of the scenarios, depending on perceived level of difficulty and design characteristics. Where a challenging option was shorter than a conventional route, this increased the likelihood of being chosen by 10%, and the presence of handrails by 12%. This suggests that people can get nudged into physical activities through minor changes to the urban landscape. We discuss implications for policy makers and urban designers…(More)".

We use Postgres 9.3, we want to split a large database (evaluated final size will be > 100 T) on many servers. As our users already have a set of existing queries, we cannot use solutions like PL/Proxy. We would like to use the postgres_fdw contrib to externalize some part of the data.
To illustrate our problem, we created 2 foreign tables foreign_table_1 and foreign_table_2. As inheritance seems not available on foreign tables, we created an union view like this :
CREATE VIEW union_table (id, name) AS ( SELECT id, name FROM foreign_table_1 where id BETWEEN 1 AND 100000 UNION ALL SELECT id, name FROM foreign_table_2 where id > 100000 ) ;
The problem is that Postgres does not push the constraints into the query plan. For instance here both foreign tables are scanned :
postgres=# explain analyze select * from union_table where id = 1234; Append (cost=100.00..303.35 rows=5 width=8) (actual time=1.113..1.113 rows=0 loops=1) -> Foreign Scan on master_table_1 (cost=100.00..154.82 rows=1 width=8) (actual time=0.567..0.567 rows=0 loops=1) -> Foreign Scan on master_table_2 (cost=100.00..148.48 rows=4 width=8) (actual time=0.538..0.538 rows=0 loops=1) Total runtime: 1.876 ms (4 rows)
- Is it possible to push the WHERE clause into the query plan?
- Is it possible to use inheritance with postgres_fdw?
- Is there any other way to obtain a sharded table with Postgres?

What are the Good Faith Efforts?
The Good Faith Efforts are required methods implored by all EPA financial assistance agreement recipients to ensure that all Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) have the opportunity to compete for procurements funded by EPA financial assistance dollars. The Six Good Faith Efforts Are:
- Ensure DBEs are made aware of contracting opportunities to the fullest extent practicable through outreach and recruitment activities. For Indian Tribal, state and local government recipients, this will include placing DBEs on solicitation lists and soliciting them whenever they are potential sources.
- Make information on forthcoming opportunities available to DBEs and arrange time frames for contracts and establish delivery schedules, where the requirements permit, in a way that encourages and facilitates participation by DBEs in the competitive process. This includes, whenever possible, posting solicitations for bids or proposals for a minimum of 30 calendar days before the bid or proposal closing date.
- Consider in the contracting process whether firms competing for large contracts could subcontract with DBEs. For Indian Tribal, state and local government recipients, this will include dividing total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by DBEs in the competitive process.
- Encourage contracting with a consortium of DBEs when a contract is too large for one of these firms to handle individually.
- Use the services and assistance of the Small Business Administration (SBE) and the Minority Business Development Agency of the Department of Commerce.
- If the prime contractor awards subcontracts, require the prime contractor to take the above steps.
ATTENTION GRANT RECIPIENTS|
Documentation of your efforts to implement the good faith efforts in your procurements is the key to a successful program!

Up: tsort invocation
tsort exists because very early versions of the Unix linker processed an archive file exactly once, and in order. As ld read each object in the archive, it decided whether it was needed in the program based on whether it defined any symbols which were undefined at that point in the link.
This meant that dependencies within the archive had to be handled
specially. For example,
scanf probably calls
read. That means
that in a single pass through an archive, it was important for
to appear before read.o, because otherwise a program which calls
scanf but not
read might end up with an unexpected unresolved
The way to address this problem was to first generate a set of dependencies of one object file on another. This was done by a shell script called lorder. The GNU tools don't provide a version of lorder, as far as I know, but you can still find it in BSD distributions.
Then you ran tsort over the lorder output, and you used the resulting sort to define the order in which you added objects to the archive.
This whole procedure has been obsolete since about 1980, because Unix archives now contain a symbol table (traditionally built by ranlib, now generally built by ar itself), and the Unix linker uses the symbol table to effectively make multiple passes over an archive file.
Anyhow, that's where tsort came from. To solve an old problem with the way the linker handled archive files, which has since been solved in different ways.

Coastlines of the Southern Baltic Sea
Coastlines of the southern Baltic Sea are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 40 crew member on the International Space Station.
The crew photographed this panorama looking aft (back along the orbital path) of the spacecraft as the sun was setting over the North Sea. Seen from the space station, the sun's reflection point moves quickly across the landscape, momentarily lighting up water bodies. In this fleeting view the coast of southern Norway is outlined near the horizon.
The strongest reflection of the sun highlights the narrow sea passage known as the Skagerrak–revealing the thin tip of Denmark. Numerous small lakes in southern Sweden appear at center, and scattered clouds cast complex shadows on the southern Baltic Sea. The sweeping curves of the sand spit on the Polish coast, and the long barrier islands on the Russian coast appear in the foreground at the edge of the sun's reflection disc.

HowTo: Convert metadata from GXplorer 6.0 to GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6
Unofficial Content
This document attempts to explain all the things to take into account if you want to convert a GXplorer6.0 metadata to a GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 metadata.
What things should I know before converting the metadata?
There are a few things to take into account before even think to convert a whole metadata from GXplorer 6.0 to a GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6. The most important one is knowing how GXquery works (for more information, please refer to GXquery course ) and having a GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 installation.
Another important thing you have to know that this conversion involves a change of paradigm, GXplorer 6.0 uses the OLAP paradigm and GXquery 4.0 uses Attribute paradigm. So the consequences of converting a metadata imply changes or lost, of concepts.
The following concepts are changed when the conversion is done:
 - A partitioned measure is converted to N differents attributes on differents fact tables and without any relationship between them. Now the user will have to choose very carefully the table to navigate to make an effective Query.
 - At GXplorer 6.0 a dimension has an Id and a description attribures, that are considered just one thing. In GXquery 4.0 this is considered as two differents attributes.
 - If the dimension Id has more than one attribute, they will be considered as different attributes without any special relationship between them.
 - Filters at GXplorer 6.0 are defined for a measure or for a dimension. In GXquery those filters will be applied to some of the attributes of the measure or the dimension.
The following concepts are lost when the conversion is done because they are not supported in GXquery:
 - Filters of the following type: Ranking, Minimum and Maximum.
 - Aggregation restrictions (none, partially or totally).
 - Measures defined as a Count formula in GXplorer Manager.
How can I make the metadata conversion?
GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 provides a tool to convert a GXplorer 6.0 metadata easily to a GXquery 4.0 metadata.
This tool is called MetadataConverter and we can execute it by running (as administrator) the Artech.GXquery.Converter.exe application located in the Metadata Converter folder at the GXquery 4.0 installation folder.
Step By Step
Step 1: Open the metadata converter and select the GXplorer 6.0 catalog.
GXplorer conversion 1
Step 2: Select the destination folder and start the conversion.
GXplorer conversion 2
Obs: by selecting Advanced the following window will be open, and we have the option to set the server or credentials for SQL Server (the tool needs a SQL Server to create a temporary Knowledge Base as part of the conversion process).
GXplorer conversion 3
Also, we can follow the status of the conversion progress and get the conversion log.
Step 3: Done!
The conversion process it's done. As a result, we have now an.export file ready to be imported to GXquery 4.0 Upgrade 6 installation. For more information about how this step it's done, please refer to HowTo: Creating a GXquery metadata in GXquery.

Microsoft vcpkg C++ Library Manager
visibility 248 comment 0
Microsoft vcpkg is a C++ library managers for Windows, macOS and Linux. For.NET, nuget is the commonly used package manager; for Java, Maven central and many other repositories are used by Maven or other build tools; for JavaScript, npm is a commonly used package manager and it is also the default package manager for JavaScript runtime environment Node.js. Microsoft vcpkg serves as similar purpose for C++ developers.
Install vcpkg on Windows
Before we can install vcpkg, make sure the following criteria are met:
 - Git - for cloning repository from GitHub
 - Windows 7 or newer
 - Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 or greater with the English language pack
Follow these steps to install vcpkg.
 1. Create installation folder. I recommend creating the folder in C drive to avoid path related issues.
 C:\>mkdir dev
 C:\> cd dev
 2. Clone the repository using the following command:
 git clone
 3. Run the following command to install vcpkg:
 4. Wait until the command is completed successfully.
Now we can use vcpkg to install C++ libraries.
Find libraries
Subcommand search is used to search libraries. The syntax looks like the following:
.\vcpkg\vcpkg search [search term]
For example, the following command searches for library openssl:
.\vcpkg\vcpkg search openssl
openssl 1.1.1i OpenSSL is an open source project that provides a robust, commercial-grade, an...
openssl-unix 1.1.1h#1 Deprecated OpenSSL port
openssl-uwp 1.1.1h#1 Deprecated OpenSSL port
openssl-windows 1.1.1h#1 Deprecated OpenSSL port
The results include a number of openssl related libraries.
Integrate vcpkg with Visual Studio
Run the following command to integrate vcpkg with Visual Studio:
.\vcpkg\vcpkg integrate install
The output looks like the following:
C:\dev>.\vcpkg\vcpkg integrate install
Applied user-wide integration for this vcpkg root.
All MSBuild C++ projects can now _TAG_ any installed libraries.
Linking will be handled automatically.
Installing new libraries will make them instantly available.
CMake projects should use: "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/dev/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
As mentioned in the output, you can include any installed libraries in your MSBuild C++ projects.
Use vcpkg in CMake
To use vcpkg with CMake outside of an IDE, you can use the toolchain file for CMake:
cmake -B [build directory] -S. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=[path to vcpkg]/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
For this article, the path is:
cmake -B [build directory] -S. -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=C:/dev/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake
Use CMake with Visual Studio
Open the CMake Settings Editor, and under CMake toolchain file, add the path to the vcpkg toolchain file:
Example - openssl
Now let's implement this example that installs openssl: CMake Build Error - Could not Find OpenSSL on Windows 10.
Follow these steps:
 1. Run the following command to install package openssl:
 C:\dev>.\vcpkg\vcpkg install openssl:x64-windows
 Alternatively, you can also use the following command:
 C:\dev>.\vcpkg\vcpkg install openssl --triplet x64-windows
 I am using triplet x64-windows to match my project requirements. By default x86 triplet will be used.
 The following text will be printed out if in your system CMake version is lower than 3.19.2. I would recommending upgrade CMake versions.
 A suitable version of cmake was not found (required v3.19.2). Downloading portable cmake v3.19.2...
 Downloading cmake... -> C:\dev\vcpkg\downloads\
 For the first time, many other dependencies will also be downloaded. It will takes a while to download for the first time.
 2. Test openssl by running the following command:
 C:\dev>openssl version
 OpenSSL 1.1.1g 21 Apr 2020
 3. Create a project folder named C:\hdp\cmaketest.
 4. Create file CMakeLists.txt in the project folder with the following content:
 cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
 # set the project name
 # Find package
 find_package(OpenSSL REQUIRED)
 5. Change directory to C:\hdp\cmaketest.
 cd /D C:\hdp\cmaketest
 6. Run CMake command:
 cmake. -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR="C:/dev/vcpkg/installed/x64-windows"
 The output looks like the following:
 7. Congratulations, openssl dependency is met.

Galician Blond, or Rubia Gallega Cattle, have a rather glamorous name but remain quite rustic, native to the rough terrain of Spanish hill land. These indigenous cattle make fine beef and dairy cattle! Galician Blond Cattle are very important in their homeland. They do best in extensive care systems, but can adapt to almost any management system.
They are easy to handle and have been used traditionally as draft cattle! Because they were hill cattle, Galician Blond Cattle are usually weather resistant and can survive even on scarce or poor grazing! At maturity, Galician Blond Cattle have medium sized frames and appear well proportioned. Their bodies are deep, massive, and long, and the hindquarters are very well muscled.
Galician Blond Cattle have thick bones, wide backs, and voluminous chests. They range in color from pale cream to bright golden red. The mucous membranes, hooves, and horns are darker in color, usually a rich red chestnut. These cattle have extremely good legs and feet and can move athletically in rocky territory. Their meat is pink and tender, with nice marbling and a carcass yield of about 62 percent!
At maturity, Galician Blond cows can produce 2,239 kilograms of milk per lactation! It is thought that northern Spanish Cattle are descended from cattle brought into the area by the French Celts! Galician Blond Cattle are native to the Monteroso and Carballino regions, and the indigenous cattle from which they are descended are now nearly extinct.
In the 18th century, Galician Blond meat was highly valued in England! The herd book was established in 1933, and in the late 1900's, Simmental, Brown Swiss, and South Devon Cattle were all mixed into the Galician Blond pedigree. Today, the Galician Blond remains in use as a beef, draft and dairy breed. Galician Blond Cattle are traditionally kept in an extensive care system known as the "Monte Gallego" system in Spain.
In the spring, Galician Blond Cattle are driven up into the hill country where they remain until autumn. In autumn, they are brought once more into valley country where they are fed on hay grown during the summer. Galician Blond Cattle are valuable crossbreeders, imparting their genetic hardiness to other breeds. They have very easy calvings and it is quite rare that they ever need assistance.
Galician Blond Cattle are natural, attentive mothers and have good milk production. Their calves have a rapid rate of gain and 98 percent of bull calves are weaned. 98 percent of Galician Blond cows are fertile and the calving interval is about 26 months!


The accelerationIncludingGravity property returns the amount of acceleration recorded by the device, in meters per second squared (m/s2). Unlike DeviceMotionEvent.acceleration which compensates for the influence of gravity, its value is the sum of the acceleration of the device as induced by the user and the acceleration caused by gravity.
This value is not typically as useful as DeviceMotionEvent.acceleration, but may be the only value available on devices that aren't able of removing gravity from the acceleration data, such as on devices that don't have a gyroscope.
var acceleration = instanceOfDeviceMotionEvent.accelerationIncludingGravity;
The accelerationIncludingGravity property is an object providing information about acceleration on three axis. Each axis is represented with its own property:
Represents the acceleration upon the x axis which is the west to east axis
Represents the acceleration upon the y axis which is the south to north axis
Represents the acceleration upon the z axis which is the down to up axis

Eric - ايريك
Arabic Calligraphy design for
«Eric - ايريك»
Name meaning: The given name Eric, Erik, or Erick is derived from the Old Norse name Eiríkr (or Eríkr in Eastern Old Norse due to monophthongization). The first element, eiis derived either from the older Proto-Norse *aina(z), meaning "one, alone, unique", as in the form Æinrikr explicitly, or from *aiwa(z) "everlasting, eternity". The second element -ríkr stems either from *ríks "king, ruler" (cf. Gothic reiks) or from the therefrom derived *ríkijaz "kingly, powerful, rich, prince". The name is thus usually taken to mean "sole ruler, autocrat" or "eternal ruler, ever powerful".
The most common spelling in Scandinavia is Erik. In Norway, another form of the name (which has kept the Old Norse diphthong) Eirik is also commonly used. In Finland, the form Erkki is also used. The modern Icelandic version is Eiríkur, while the modern Faroese version is Eirikur. Éric [eʁik] is used in French, and in Germany Eric, Erik and Erich are used.[ًWikipedia]

text: Let me tell you something about the harmonic Pi that our Ancient Egyptian Architectonic Masters did interpret it geometrically, using the language of the two eyes. RMP#48 shows an example of interpreting geometrically that kind of Pi, i.e., it shows the geometrical correlation between two musical notes in the same musical octave, with a gap of two notes interval, e.g., between Do and Me. The upper note is equivalent to 4 and the lower note is the harmonic Pi = 256/81. It is one of the basic architectonic rules in the pyramids design philosophy. Thus we say this is the horizon of the two sounds Me-Do or the Per-Me-Do. Identifying which two musical notes should be used, in the numeric term, for designing such pyramid follows another rule.

Negotiating Natural Resource Agreements
Petersen Consulting has worked for both industry and First Nations to negotiate and create successful and sustainable working relationships. These negotiations are typically on mining, forestry and hydroelectric projects.
We have negotiated dozens of Impact Benefit Agreements, Exploration Accommodation Agreements and Long Term Forestry Agreements, collectively called Industry Agreements.
Our team does not just negotiate Industry Agreements. We assist in the formulation and implementation to ensure that all parties to the agreement obtain mutual benefit.
There is no cookie cutter approach to negotiating and authoring Industry Agreements. Each Industry Agreement will be as unique as the profile, priorities and objectives of each First Nation and resource company involved.
By having experience working for both First Nations and industry, we can successfully negotiate the differences.
As part of the journey of negotiating and implementing Industry Agreements, we can provide the following services:
- Workshops to explain the potential content of Industry Agreements and what issues are important. We will also provide real examples of various business contracting models that have been used in Industry Agreements such as competitive set aside, open book negotiations and competitive contracts.
- Revenue sharing options
- Template joint venture agreements

Spicy food consumption is associated with adiposity measures among half a million Chinese people: the China Kadoorie Biobank study.
Sun D., Lv J., Chen W., Li S., Guo Y., Bian Z., Yu C., Zhou H., Tan Y., Chen J., Chen Z., Li L., China Kadoorie Biobank collaborative group None.
BACKGROUND: Few animal experiments and volunteer-based intervention studies have showed a controversial effect of spicy foods on weight management; however, information is scant on the association between spicy food intake and obesity. This study aims to examine the impact of spicy food on quantitative adiposity measures in the Chinese population; a population with a low prevalence of general obesity, but a high prevalence of central obesity. METHODS: A total of 434,556 adults (255,094 females), aged 30-79 years, were included from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) study. Information on spicy food intake was obtained using a questionnaire survey. Body mass index (BMI), percentage body fat (BF%), waist circumference (WC), and WC/height ratio (WHtR) were analyzed as continuous variables. RESULTS: The prevalence of daily spicy food eating was 30.4% in males and 30.0% in females, with dramatically geographic diversity (ranging from 99.4% in Hunan to 2.7% in Zhejiang). The covariates-adjusted BMI, BF%, WC, and WHtR significantly increased with increasing frequency, strength, and duration of spicy food eating regardless of gender (p < 0.001). Among regular spicy food consumers, strength of spicy food eating showed significant and positive association with all adiposity measures in both genders (except for BF% in males). Compared with non-consumers, daily spicy food eating was significantly associated with an increase of 0.44 and 0.51 of BMI (kg/m2), 0.79 and 1.01 of BF%, 1.4 and 1.0 of WC (cm), and 0.008 and 0.006 of WHtR in males and females, respectively. In stratified analyses of 18 consecutive BMI subgroups, a significantly increasing trend in the effect of daily spicy food eating on WC and WHtR with increasing BMI was noted in males; whereas a decreasing trend was seen in females. CONCLUSIONS: The data indicate that spicy food intake is a risk factor for obesity in Chinese adult population, especially for central obesity in males. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying this association.


A Couple of Things, and a Couple More
The word couple literally means "two," but it is often used to mean "an indefinite small number." So if you were to say, "I only have a couple of dollars," you would probably not be called out if you really had three or four.
However, your friend the grammar stickler might take exception if you said you had "a couple dollars." Although "a couple dollars" is common in everyday speech, traditionalists insist on "a couple of dollars." And since a couple of dollars doesn't sound stuffy or pretentious, why leave of out?
But things get tricky when couple is used with words and phrases of comparison, such as more, fewertoo many, too few. Many people would say a couple of more dollars, but in that construction the of is dropped: a couple more dollars and a couple too few dollars are correct. However, if we slightly revise those phrases, of must be put back: a couple of dollars more and a couple of dollars too few are correct.
When the noun couple refers to two people, you often see it used as a singular: The couple was having dinner. But the more one writes, the more one discovers that with couple the plural verb should be used unless there is an excellent reason not to.
While it is true that The couple was having dinner is unobjectionable, what if we expand the sentence a bit. If the subject of a sentence starts out singular, it should remain singular. So if we wanted to say where the dinner took place, we would be forced to write The couple was having dinner in its home. That is atrocious, but so is The couple was having dinner in their home. Therefore, make it The couple were having dinner in their home. And make couple plural whenever possible (which is most of the time). You'll be in good company.
We recently heard from a reader who objected to a sentence she found in one of our online quizzes: We'll hire the applicant whom we talked with. She urgently informed us that "you do not end a sentence with a preposition!!!!"
This "rule" is the Walking Dead of English-grammar superstitions—a festering pest that cannot be destroyed. We are scolded about it at least once a year, and without exception those who upbraid us offer no evidence to substantiate their claims. (That is because none exists.) So we hereby challenge anyone who still swears by this dubious principle to relocate the preposition in this sentence: Speak when you are spoken to.

 Is it a couples' banquet or a couple's banquet? I would hate to correct and be the one who needs correcting.
 2. Ramses IV says:
 Good devil! And I thought that the Portugese grammar was a nuts matter! Thanks for the savant clarifications. So it's not wrong to say: I had a couple of days off to sort things out?
 3. MK Harman says:
 Which is correct: a couple of more thoughts OR a couple more thoughts?
 4. David Teems says:
 The CMS (15th ed.) says, "Using COUPLE as an adjective is poor phrasing. Add OF (We watched a COUPLE OF movies). Hollywood particularly seems to have accepted the use of the word "couple," without the preposition "of." It is maddening to hear phrases like "a couple days" instead of "a couple of days," and so on. It is even more hideous to see it in print. Shudder. When we speak the word "couple" as in "a couple hours" the preposition seems to be there, though it is not. It is an illusion. To say "cup coffee" has the same effect. You almost hear the preposition though, again, it is absent. The deception is aural.
 5. Mark says:
 Speak when you are spoken to. At the risk of proven wrong with your challange, I submit the sentence below, removing the ending preposition. Is this acceptable?
 When spoken to, you may speak.
 - Your sentence does not solve the problem. Those who believe the discredited rule about prepositions at the end of a sentence would still object, because the preposition (they say) must always be followed by its object. Your preposition is followed by a comma. We used that sentence to show that English is not meant to follow Latin rules. English is a Germanic language, and such languages commonly place prepositions after their objects, and at the end of sentences.
 6. Chris says:
 The "couple was" problem is an example of why the British English system of notional agreement (synesis) is better than the American English system of unnecessarily formal agreement. Sense should trump form.
 7. Steven says:
 Speak only after someone has spoken to you.
 8. Sara says:
 "Speak when someone speaks to you."
 Ending a sentence with a preposition drives me crazy!
 - Nice try, but no soap. You had to rewrite the sentence.
 Our point was that in English, as with other Germanic languages, a preposition ending a sentence is the most natural thing in the world. What drives us crazy is the time wasted avoiding something that is perfectly acceptable. In this case, you have taken a clear, simple sentence that everyone has heard and seen many times, and unnecessarily replaced it with a clumsy paraphrase.
 - Dr. Jazz Normand says:
 "Speak when addressed." No, it doesn't have the alliteration. But it's correct grammar. (And yes, it's correct to begin a sentence with but or and.) However, you point out the complexities of English verbs that take prepositions, e.g. 'to point out.' Another is 'to be up to' as in "What are you up to?" English grammar is fun!
 - Your sentence is indeed "correct grammar," but so was our sentence. Our point was that the preposition in Speak when you are spoken to cannot be relocated, and it is pointless to rewrite clear, grammatical sentences in service to some daft, discredited superstition.
 9. Jared says:
 Thanks for this blog post. I was wondering about the extension of this concept to "group," "team," "family," etc. In these cases I'm much more likely to use "its," even if sounds a little awkward. "The team was practicing in its stadium," or "The family was piling into its minivan." Or would these be better as plurals as well?
 Also, I've noticed that Brits often take the approach of using a plural to refer to groups, even without a phrase of comparison. For instance, "The family are eating dinner," "The group are against that idea," or even with companies, "Morgan Stanley are keen to move forward." I was wondering if you had any thoughts on this? I always try to avoid plurals and go with singular in these cases, but I thought that was American English versus British.
 Thanks again!
 10. Chuck says:
 What about the phrase, we will couple the train cars together. Than it is used as a verb, and means a action. It does not mean two. Am I correct?

| Rattle on the Stovepipe
Download PDF (D6 tuning: a, d, f#, b)
Download PDF (C6 tuning: g, c, e, a)
This lively traditional Canadian melody is fun to play and full of teaching opportunities. Below is a point-form guide to teaching this arrangment to your class.
- The major scale (click here for ideas)
- Dotted rhythms
- Use Uke II as a sight-reading exercise. It's very repetitive and, for the most part, uses open strings.
- Assign Uke II to beginner-level students. (Note: this part can only be played as written using ukuleles with a low 4th string. For more information on tuning options, click here.)
- Prepare Uke I by reviewing the D major scale (C major scale for ukuleles tuned g, c, e, a). Play the scale in using a variety of different rhythms.
- Vocalize the rhythm in m. 1: sing "rat-tle on the stove-pipe" in rhythm. Have students clap as they sing.
- Don't prepare students for the accidental in m. 9. Sight-read it and let them make a mistake, if necessary. Then fix the problem.
- Define "D. C. al Fine": Play again from the beginning and stop where you see the word "Fine" (which means "end" in Italian).
- This is, essentially, a three-chord song. The chord in m. 15 can be played either as a 7 chord (as written) or as a regular major chord. Try it both ways: which do your students prefer? Why?
- Strumming: have students try an on-beat strum (strum on beats 1 and 3) and an off-beat strum (strum on beats 2 and 4). Which do they prefer? Why?
Additional Suggestions and Comments:
- Rattle on the Stovepipe essentially modulates to a new key in measures 9-16. This departure makes the main theme sound fresh on the repeat.
- Challenge your advanced students to create a harmony part above the melody.
- Challenge advanced students to create their own variation on the melody of Rattle on the Stovepipe.

Magic resistance (or MR) is a stat that all units have, including minions, monsters, and buildings. Increasing magic resistance reduces the magic damage the unit takes. Each champion begins with some magic resistance which may increase with level. You can gain additional magic resistance from abilities, items, masteries, and runes. Magic resistance stacks additively.
All champions begin with 30 base magic resistance. No ranged champions gain magic resistance per level, but many melee champions do, with 52.5 being the maximum magic resistance possible without items, runes, masteries, or ally buffs.
Incoming magic damage is multiplied by a factor based on the unit's magic resistance:
- Damage multiplier = 100 / (100 + MR) if MR ≥ 0
- Damage multiplier = 2 − 100 / (100 − MR) if MR ≤ 0
- 25 magic resistance → ×0.8 incoming magic damage (20% reduction).
- 100 magic resistance → ×0.5 incoming magic damage (50% reduction).
- −25 magic resistance → ×1.2 incoming magic damage (20% increase).
Stacking magic resistance编辑
Every point of magic resistance requires a unit to take 1% more of its maximum health in magic damage to be killed. This is called "effective health."
- Example: A unit with 60 magic resistance has 60% of its maximum health in its effective health, so if the unit has 1000 maximum health, it will take 1600 magic damage to kill it.
What this means: by definition, magic resistance does not have diminishing returns, because each point increases the unit's effective health against magic damage by 1% of its current actual health value whether the unit has 10 magic resistance or 1000 magic resistance.
- Note: Unlike health, increasing magic resistance also makes healing more effective because it takes more effort to remove the unit's health than it does to restore it.

Scientists propose storing DNA 'ark' on the Moon to preserve our planet
Written on 03/15/2021
By Ciarán Mather
It would seem that some scientists are planning to give a futuristic twist to the old phrase 'don't keep all your eggs in the one basket.'
A group of researchers have suggested sending an 'ark' full of DNA from Earth, consisting of various types of sperm, eggs and seeds from plants.
In their proposal, they outlined that this 'gene bank' would be hidden inside the moon's lava tubes: hollowed-out tunnels and caves sculpted by lava more than 3 billion years ago inside the moon.
In addition, the banks would be powered by solar panels.
Jekan Thanga, head of the Space and Terrestrial Robotic Exploration (SpaceTREx) Laboratory at the University of Arizona, explained his team's back-up plan to LiveScience: 'There's this strong interconnectedness between us and nature. '
'We have a responsibility to be guardians of biodiversity and [to also be] the means to preserve it.'
He added the lunar ark approach is preferable to simply preserving it on Earth, in the event of our planet potentially succumbing to a disastrous event such as a super-volcano or even nuclear war.
The ark would hold the cryogenically (frozen) genetic material of all 6.7 million known species of plants, animals and fungi on Earth.
This would require at least 250 rocket launches to transport the cargo to the moon from Earth, according to researchers.
Not all the technology needed for this ambitious project exists yet, but the researchers think that it could realistically be built within the next 30 years.
The idea of an ark containing Earth's DNA echoes similar concepts seen in science fiction stories before, such as in 2017's Alien: Covenant.
