Given any first order, graded, self-adjoint, elliptic operator on a manifold the spectrum is unbounded in both the positive and negative directions. There are probably elementary ways to see this, but I'll give an argument which is overly sophisticated but a bit more quantitative.
Given $D$ as above, consider the eta function associated to $D$:
$$\eta(s) = \sum_{\lambda} sign(\lambda) |\lambda|^{-s}$$
(the sum ranges over the eigenvalues of $D$)
By a variation on Weyl's asymptotic formula for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian together with some basic complex analysis, this function extends to a meromorphic function on the complex plane. It is a very deep topological fact that the eta function is actually bounded at $0$; in the case of Dirac-type operators this follows from the sort of heat kernel analysis used in the local proof of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem, and for general elliptic operators this follows from the Dirac case together with some cobordism theory.
In any event, $\eta(0)$ can be regarded as a sort of "renormalized difference" between the number of positive eigenvalues and the number of negative eigenvalues, and the fact that it is bounded means that there are infinitely many positive and negative eigenvalues.
As I said above this machinery is probably overkill as far as your actual question is concerned, but it proves something stronger: it makes precise the assertion that the cardinality of the positive part of the spectrum agrees with the cardinality of the negative part "up to a finite error".

"There are probably elementary ways". I think the following should work: It suffices to show that the Rayleigh quotient $\langle \phi, D\phi\rangle/|\phi|^2$ is doubly unbounded. Take $\phi$ to be supported in a ball where $D$ is well approximated by a constant coefficient operator. In a much smaller domain, take $\phi$ to be an eigenvector $\psi$ for the latter operator thought of as an operator with periodic boundary condition (i.e. an operator on a torus). – Tim Perutz Oct 29 '11 at 22:56
In the larger ball, define $\phi$ by cutting off $\psi$, but slowly, so that the behaviour of $\psi$ dominates. This reduces the problem to the case of constant coefficient operators over the torus, for which Fourier series are available. – Tim Perutz Oct 29 '11 at 22:57
BTW, a good account of these facts about the eta function is given by Ken Richardson in his note "Introduction to the eta invariant" ncatlab.org/nlab/show/eta+invariant#Richardson – Urs Schreiber Aug 27 at 18:52
Can the eigenvalue of this operater tend to negative infinity?
Yes -- actually this question is closely tied to the physical origins of the Dirac operator. Very roughly speaking negative eigenvalues correspond to negative-energy eigenstates; the Dirac equation predicts that particles with positive energy (e.g. electrons, which can have arbitrarily large positive energy) there is an antiparticle "twin" with negative energy (positrons in this case).
For instance, if $M$ is the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$ then Dirac eigenfunctions give you the angular part of the electron wave function; the corresponding eigenvalues are simply all the integers $n \in \mathbb{Z}$ which show up with multiplicity $n+1$.

Blank rows aren't bad, but in most sheets, they're definitely undesirable. Excel uses blanks to determine data ranges, and a blank row in the wrong place will inhibit many built-in features. Fortunately, there's an easy way to remove blank rows from a data range, but this easy technique has the potential to destroy data, so you must be careful.
The first step is to select the data range. Using the simple sheet below (Figure A), you'd select A3:E14. As you can see, there are two blank rows (7 and 10). Admittedly, in a sheet this simple, you'd probably just delete the rows manually. That won't be as simple in a large data range that comprises thousands of rows!
After selecting the data range, continue as follows:
- Press [F5].
- In the resulting Go To dialog box, click Special.
- Click the Blanks option and click OK. Doing so selects the blank cells (what you might think of as rows) in the selected range. In this case, that's A7:E7 and A10:E10.
- Now you're ready to delete the selected cells. On the Home tab, click the Delete dropdown in the Cells group and choose Delete Cells. Excel will display the Delete dialog box, with the Delete Cells Up option selected. Click OK. Or, press [Ctrl]+-. Excel will delete the blank cells from the selected data range.
Choosing Delete Cells deletes only the blank cells in the previously selected range. If you choose Delete Sheet Rows in step 4, you could potentially destroy data (often unseen) to the right. Choose carefully when using this option to delete blank rows when you really want to delete just the blank cells. It's easy to think in terms of rows and choose the wrong option!

Build A Plane builds on early success
As part of a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) initiative to get children more interested in math, science, and technology, Build A Plane, Cessna, and Parametric Technology Corporation will be supplying computer-aided design software to schools for kids to design new aircraft. The program allows students to collaborate via the Web with engineers from the DOE and Cessna.
Build A Plane also announced at Oshkosh on July 29 that the General Aviation Manufacturers Association (GAMA) is supporting Build A Plane participants from Kentucky at the show. The students are restoring an Aeronca Champ, and they will be working on it throughout the show at GAMA's booth.
Build A Plane was formed to get children excited about aviation. The group's first project was a Cessna 150 in California. By the end of the refurbishment, two students had soloed, two were attending airframe and powerplant school on the weekends, and one had enrolled at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The group now has 70 airplanes in schools around the country.

A Roho cushion is an inflatable cushion for wheelchairs and beds that can make it more comfortable to be in a wheelchair or be bed bound for long periods of time.
For people who have limited mobility and are either wheelchair-bound or bed bound for a large portion of the day, finding a comfortable spot can be a challenge.
Moreover, staying in one position for long periods of time, such as lying on a bed, can increase the individual's chance for developing painful conditions like bed sores. This is, in a large part due to the flat, solid design of many wheelchair seats and beds.
That is where the Roho cushion comes in.
So, what is a Roho cushion?
A Roho cushion is similar to an inflatable mattress or seat cushion, as it uses air to provide a soft surface for the user. Unlike other forms of cushioning for beds seating, Roho cushions are specially made to provide a comfortable, varied surface for both seating and lying down positions, which in turn helps prevent bed sores from developing.

Table could not be displayed.
Bed sores, also known as pressure ulcers, are formed when a portion of the skin spends prolonged periods of time resting on a single surface. Roho mattress pads are made to spread out this pressure over a wider, more flexible surface, reducing the impact of the pressure on the skin and allowing normal blood flow to reach the area.
Not only do Roho cushions make long periods of seating or lying down more comfortable but because they are inflatable, they are easily transported and carried around.
Roho cushions are especially useful due to their easy-to-clean surfaces and their high-quality air pressure systems.
Since Roho mattress cushions are specially made to fit over existing mattresses, they are lightweight and maintain their air pressure for much longer than traditional air mattresses do.
Roho cushions also come in other assistive forms, such as ankle brace cushions and toilet seat cushions, to provide additional comfort to those who need it.
For people with sensory-based ailments, such as fibromyalgia, having additional padding on everyday surfaces can help alleviate some of the symptoms presented by their illness, helping them stay more comfortable longer.
Roho cushions are specially made to adapt to the body's minute changes over various periods of time, relieving pressure on the areas where the skin comes into contact with a surface.
A Roho cushion can aid the long term health of the user by proper weight distribution. This helps in maintaining normal blood flow to the area affected, which can help prevent further injuries or discomfort in the long run.
While a wheelchair cushion or bed pad may seem like a small investment, for someone with limited mobility who spends a majority of their day in constant contact with the same surface, they can be a real blessing.
Roho cushions can help with both their physical well being, as well as their emotional health, as it can take away some of the discomfort of being in the same position for a long period of time.

How do Roho cushions work?
Studies show that functionality is one of the primary goals in mind when creating assistive devices like wheelchairs. At the same time, it is very important keep in mind the overall comfort of the person using these devices for long periods of time.
Things like mattress pads, wheelchair seat cushions, and comfortable hand and ankle braces may have a huge impact on the overall rehabilitation of an individual.
For many people, the comfort provided by the assistive comfort technology allows them to spend more time doing every day activities. This can be central in the rehabilitation process because it can help return a level of self-sufficiency and independence to their day to day lives.
Roho mattress pads provide patients added comfort of a mattress pad and the health benefits of normal blood circulation and prevention of bed sores.
This can have a marked impact on both the recovery time for patients who have been confined to bed rest for a long period of time, as well as an upward trend in the health of patients who are permanently bed bound.
Seat cushions are useful for people who find themselves spending a lot of time in the same spot. This can include someone who utilizes things like wheelchairs (you can read our review of lightweight transport wheelchairs here) and outdoor mobility scooters.
Seat cushions can be combined with things like portable commodes and shower chairs to provide additional comfort during day to day tasks. They can also be placed on a lift chair recliner for added comfort and blood flow throughout the day.
Roho seat cushions can also be easily transported and re-inflated on the go, allowing them to be kept with the individual throughout the day. This allows them to be used in a wider range of locations to help provide comfort while out and about.
Roho mattress pads are useful both for short-term healing processes, as well as for long-term treatment for individual patients. Roho mattress pads are most often used in cases of prolonged bed rest, where contact with an uninterrupted, solid surface can put the patient at risk for a wide range of skin irritations, including bed sores.
Roho mattress pads are used in hospitals and in-home care situations for patients of all levels of care.
For an individual who requires nightly kidney dialysis at home, for example, a Roho pad can help them be more comfortable during the process, and help ensure that the dialysis is able to clean more thoroughly due to the slightly increased blood circulation.
For patients who find themselves in bed for longer periods of time, a Roho cushion can help them feel less trapped, and make sure that their bed feels comfortable for extended periods of use.
Roho cushions can also be easily inflated or deflated to suit the needs of the user, making it more flexible than other mattress pads. Here is a YouTube video demonstrating the right way to set up a Roho cushion:

Who Can Benefit from Roho Cushions?
Roho cushions and mattress pads are useful for people who experience mild to severe discomfort while sitting or lying down on flat surfaces for extended periods of time on a daily basis. This can include people who suffer from sensory-based nerve conditions, such as fibromyalgia and severe arthritis.
Roho mattress pads are also extremely useful for people who are on bed rest after a recent surgery or for people recovering from injuries, such as fractures or spinal injuries. Most pregnant women who have been advised bed rest until the end of their term find Roho mattress pads especially comfortable.
Roho cushions can also help people who spend a large part of their day in a sedentary position such as in the workspace. Most people find them more comfortable for long-term use as compared to traditional seat cushions or coccyx cushions.
Roho cushions can also be used in living areas to make certain types of furniture more comfortable for people who may find themselves needing the extra layer of padding between themselves and the surface of the chair, such as people who cannot easily move from one location to the other unaided without a high risk of injury.
Roho mattress pads are also much easier to transport and install than most other mattress pads, making them perfect for use on road trips and in hotel rooms to provide added comfort.
Roho mattress pads can take some of the pressure off of sore or broken areas of skin, and allow that part of the skin to rest and give it the time it needs to heal up.

Conclusion – Roho Cushions
Overall, Roho cushions are meant to provide additional comfort to people confined to one position (either seated or lying down) for long periods of time.
Roho cushions are quite versatile in a variety of situations be it someone looking to take some of the pressure off of a sore hip after a long day of work or a patient who is in intensive recovery at the hospital.
With a durable design that is specially created to help reduce the pressure that is placed on the surface of the skin, as well as to encourage circulation, Roho mattress pads can help increase the speed of recovery in patients who have recently undergone surgery, as well as reduce the risk for skin sores and other long term bed rest related injuries.
For people who spend a large portion of their day in a wheelchair, Roho wheelchair cushions can provide a welcome rest to the base of the wheelchair seat, and can help return a level of freedom to individuals who suffer from mobility-related concerns.

An analysis of the commuting and housing expenses of the working poor finds that compared with other workers:
- The working poor spend a much higher portion of their income on commuting. The cost burden of commuting for the working poor is 6.1 percent compared with 3.8 percent for other workers. The working poor who drive to work spend the most: 8.4 percent.
- The combined costs of commuting and housing make up a larger portion of the household budgets of the working poor than other households. For working-poor homeowners, nearly 25 percent of their household income is consumed by housing and commuting expenses compared with just 15.3 percent for other households. For those who rent, the disparities between the working poor (32.4 percent) and other households (19.7 percent) are even greater.
- The cost burden of commuting for the working poor is greater than the national median in eight of the 12 largest metropolitan areas. Six of these—Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.—also have a higher cost burden of housing than the national median for the working poor.
Transportation is necessary to nearly every aspect of daily life. It enhances both physical and economic mobility and is a key factor in workers' ability to find and retain employment. This survey offers a better understanding of transportation and its costs by focusing on one of its components, commuting.

Keywords : Keywords: Pedagogy; Knowledge; Teachers; Influencing Factors;
ABSTRACT In the Modern Era the Pedagogy Knowledge is playing a vital role in the teacher's carrier. Because it helps to increase their performance, understanding subject, delivering the content to the students. The teachers' ability to make appropriate connections among concepts, to generate different solutions and representations for problems, to address students' difficulties and misconceptions effectively, and to choose appropriate examples to teach a particular topic were largely based on the depth of their subject-matter knowledge. However, the field experiences contributed to their repertoire of examples of students' difficulties and misconceptions as well as instructional strategies and materials. The purpose of this study was to examine how the pedagogy methods and its associated field experience supported the development of pedagogical knowledge for school primary teachers in Kanchipuram District. Also examined to find out the highest influencing factors and least influencing factors of different pedagogical approaches in different subjects in Kanchipuram District Teachers and examined what are the approaches contributed to that development from the teachers' perspective in Kanchipuram District. The data were collected in Kanchipuram District Schools during August 2017 to November 2017. During this period, the author collected 309 samples in the form of observations, questionnaire from different teachers in different schools in Kanchipuram District and the collected data was analyzed according to the pedagogical knowledge framework developed for this study.

Vandalism and trespass on the railway is not only reckless, but can cause delays. Here's what we're doing to prevent it
If you see someone trespassing on the railway, please call British Transport Police (BTP) on 0800 40 50 40, text 61016 or dial 999.
Trespassing on the railway is dangerous, risking trespassers' lives and endangering train passengers and crew.
For this reason, when we see someone trespassing, we have to stop all trains in the vicinity to make sure everyone is kept safe. This not only delays nearby trains, but also has a knock-on effect on trains across the network.
Certain parts of the railway, including stations, underpasses and level crossings, are open to the public. But when people go onto the tracks, embankments or other areas, they are trespassing.
When people trespass on the railway and vandalise our property, we need to repair any damage and make sure the railway is safe before allowing trains to run again. This causes delays for passengers. Vandalism includes graffiti, litter, fly-tipping and damage to fences, signs and tracks.
How we work with communities to promote safety
- Our community safety teams work hard – particularly in trespassing hotspots – to make more people aware of the dangers of trespass on the railway.
- Where there are known hotspots, we work with the train companies locally to create action plans.
- We install fences that make it more difficult to access the railway.
- We run safety campaigns with schools, charities, local councils and the British Transport Police (BTP) focusing on the two groups of people most likely to trespass: teenagers and those in their early 20s. In the 10 years up to July 2016, just fewer than half of those killed while trespassing on the railway were under 25 years old. Almost 170 young people lost their lives trespassing in the same period.
- We run safety campaigns to reach young people directly, and provide resources for teachers and parents.
- We partner with the BTP to encourage people to report incidents of trespassing and vandalism. If you see someone trespassing on the railway, call 0800 40 50 40 or 999, or text 61016.


The spirit of the Mifuno Desert, Mifúno is one of the three most powerful spirits in the desert. She is also the only female among the triad. Both Tachìra and Chobìre fight for her affections because she is unwilling to choose one over the other.
In some stories, Mifúno is the mother of both Tachìra and Chobìre but the father is unknown. These stories occur more in the southern areas of the desert while the northern claim that all three spirits always existed and the stars are the direct children of the spirits.
There are no known people who claim to be part of Mifúno. Those who do frequently find themselves dead soon after touching the desert as she is violent and brutal in her judgment.
There are no clans that directly associate themselves with Mifúno.

Distribution and abundance maps for priority weed species within NSW
NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has collected weed distribution and abundance information from local government in 2007 and 2010.
Local government noxious weed officers supplied DPI with distribution and abundance information on priority weed species that threaten the environment, production and human health.
The following weeds were surveyed;
- weeds that have been targeted to be excluded from NSW. These species can be found in NSW and national weed alert lists.
- weeds already established in NSW. These species are monitored to inform actions that aim to contain their spread to new areas and to reduce their impacts on the environment, production and human health.

If you don't supply an explicit list of files (or instructions on how to
generate one), the
sdist command puts a minimal default set
into the source distribution:
Sometimes this is enough, but usually you will want to specify
additional files to distribute. The typical way to do this is to write
a manifest template, called MANIFEST.in by default. The
manifest template is just a list of instructions for how to generate
your manifest file, MANIFEST, which is the exact list of files to
include in your source distribution. The
processes this template and generates a manifest based on its
instructions and what it finds in the filesystem.
If you prefer to roll your own manifest file, the format is simple: one filename per line, regular files (or symlinks to them) only. If you do supply your own MANIFEST, you must specify everything: the default set of files described above does not apply in this case.
The manifest template has one command per line, where each command specifies a set of files to include or exclude from the source distribution. For an example, again we turn to the Distutils' own manifest template:
include *.txt recursive-include examples *.txt *.py prune examples/sample?/build
The meanings should be fairly clear: include all files in the distribution root matching *.txt, all files anywhere under the examples directory matching *.txt or *.py, and exclude all directories matching examples/sample?/build. All of this is done after the standard include set, so you can exclude files from the standard set with explicit instructions in the manifest template. (Or, you can use the --no-defaults option to disable the standard set entirely.) There are several other commands available in the manifest template mini-language; see section 9.2.
The order of commands in the manifest template matters: initially, we have the list of default files as described above, and each command in the template adds to or removes from that list of files. Once we have fully processed the manifest template, we remove files that should not be included in the source distribution:
You can disable the default set of included files with the --no-defaults option, and you can disable the standard exclude set with --no-prune.
Following the Distutils' own manifest template, let's trace how the
sdist command builds the list of files to include in the
Distutils source distribution:

What Is A Gustnado? (Hint: It May Have Collapsed The Indiana State Fair Stage)
Last weekend, a deadly tragedy struck the Indiana State Fair when the main performance stage collapsed during a freak storm. A witness to the event captured this terrifying moment on video.
After looking at the weather data and videos of the event, at least one meteorologist believes a gustnado may be responsible. So what exactly is a gustnado?
A gustnado is a short-lived, ground-based vortex that forms during a severe thunderstorm...
A gustnado is gust storm that forms ahead of a thunderstorm. It's a pocket of powerful, swirling air that extends between 30 to 300 feet high.
...its winds can be as strong as an F1 tornado...
A gustnado produces intense wind bursts that can reach up to 80 MPH, as powerful as an F1 tornado. This is powerful enough to uproot trees with shallow roots, knock down billboards and cause minor damage to roofs, chimneys and windows.
... its not a tornado, but can be confused with one...
Gustnadoes are often confused with tornadoes as both can occur during a thunderstorm. A gustnado forms on the gust front of a thunderstorm, while a tornado forms from a giant rotating thunderstorm called a supercell. Unlike tornadoes, gustnadoes stay on the ground and their vortex does not reach the storm clouds above. Gustnadoes are like whirlwinds and dust devils, but they are more powerful and devastating.
...a gustnado may be the cause of the stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair.
AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Henry Margusity studied the unusual storm that hit the Indiana State Fair last weekend. After looking at radar data and video footage from the fair, he believes the evidence points to a gustnado. You can read his argument here. [Accu-Weather, Weather Savvy via Scientific American]

Silence removes a minion's card text and eliminates any other effects present on the card. However, the minion can still have effects applied to it after.
- If a minions is silenced, you can still buff it, including buffs that come from other minions, such as, whose +1 attack to adjacent minions will renew immediately following a neighboring minion being silenced.
- You can also place spell buffs on a minion after it has been silenced.
- Silence will not reverse effects of ownership, such as a minion being returned to its original owner.
- It does not reverse effects of card identity either, for example a when silenced will not revert to its 3/3 form.
- Silence will remove other spell effects cast by you or by your opponent, including freeze.
- When a minion is silenced it returns to its original health if its current health is above its original health; however, if its current health is below its original health, its health will not change.
- A card with the Silence ability removes all buffs and all effects (even those written on the card) from the target while the target remains in play.
- The only way to reverse a silence is to put the card back into your hand and play it again via cards like or.
Below is a list of all cards with the silence mechanic.
- Note: For the purposes of this list, only collectible cards are listed.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
I am working on the statement " A graph $G$ is a $nKn$ (collection of $n$ number of complete graph each of order $n$) graph if and only if $\bar{G}$ is $α(G) = α(\bar{G}) = n$ and $(p-n)$-regular, where $p$ is the order of $G$ and $α(G)$ is the independence number of $G$ with $n\geqslant 1$."
The converse part seem to be a confusion. Kindly help me with it.

Perhaps you could edit the meaning of $a(G)$ into your question. – Gerry Myerson May 9 '12 at 12:58
α(G) is the independence number of G – James Alex May 9 '12 at 14:07
I'm not sure I'm understanding the question properly. Can you clarify why the graph $G$ consisting of a 3-cycle and a 4-cycle would not be a counterexample? It would seem to satisfy $n=3$, $p=7$, but it is obviously not a $3K_3$. – Will Orrick May 10 '12 at 16:48
_USER_ The graph you mentioned is 2 regular, not (7-3)=4 regular. – Graphth May 10 '12 at 20:20
_USER_ : Hmmm. I had understood that it was $\overline{G}$ that was required to be $(p-n)$-regular, rather than $G$. Perhaps this is the root of my confusion. I'm now not sure that I understand how $3K_3$ is defined. Wouldn't $p$ equal 9 in that case, and $G$ have to be 6-regular? – Will Orrick May 10 '12 at 21:41
1 Answer 1
(Extended compilation of comments.)
While it is true that the disjoint union of $n$ copies of $K_n$ has the properties
 1. $\alpha(G)=\alpha(\overline G)=n$ (where $\alpha$ is the independence number)
 2. $\overline{G}$ is $p-n$ regular (where $p$ is the number of vertices of $G$)
the converse is not true. not every graph with properties 1 and 2. Will Orrick gave the following counterexample in comments: let $G$ be the disjoint union of two cycles $C_3 $ and $C_4$; then $\alpha(G)=\alpha(\overline G)=3$ and $\overline{G}$ is $4$-regular where $4=7-3$.
Brian M. Scott then observed that if $\alpha(\overline G)=n$ is strengthened to
(*) every maximal independent set in $\overline G$ has cardinality $n$
then the conclusion $G=nK_n$ follows. Indeed, (*) says that every maximal clique of $G$ has cardinality $n$. Therefore, every vertex is contained in a copy of $K_n$. Since $G$ is $n$-regular (by virtue of 2), it is a disjoint union of some copies of $K_n$. The condition $\alpha(G)=n$ places the number of the copies of $K_n$ at $n$.

Cremer Coating
High speed flame spraying works with a continued gas combustion under high pressure in a combustion chamber to which the powdery spray filler materials are added into its central axis.
The high pressure generated in the combustion chamber by the combustion gas - hydrogen mix achieves the required high flow speed in the gas spray. The spray particles are thus accelerated to high particle speeds which lead to extremely dense spray coatings with extraordinary hold.
The sufficient but moderate temperature input is only slightly changed metallurgically by the spraying of the spray filler materials, e.g. minimal build-up of mixed carbides. Extremely thin coatings with high accuracy are obtained with this method.
Propane, Propane, Ethylene, Acetyls, hydrogen can be used as combustion gas.
Application areas are gliding surfaces of steam irons, presses for the photo industry, parts for the petrochemical and chemical machines, e.g. pumps, sliders, ball vents, mechanical joints, shaft sleeves etc.

SS-2015-008: SiteTree Creation Permission Vulnerability
- High (?)
- Versions Affected:
- 3.1.0 - 3.1.10, 3.1.11-rc1, 3.0.11 and below
- Versions Fixed:
- 3.0.12, 3.1.11
- Release Date:
A vulnerability exists in the permission validation for SiteTree object creation. By default user permissions are not validated by the SiteTree::canCreate method, unless overridden by user code or via the configuration system.
This vulnerability will allow users, or unauthenticated guests, to create new SiteTree objects in the database. This vulnerability is present when such users are given CMS access via other means, or if there is another mechanism (such as RestfulServer module) which allows model editing and relies on model-level permission checks.
This vulnerability is restricted to the creation of draft or live pages, and does not allow users to edit, publish, or unpublish existing pages.
All users should upgrade as soon as possible.


update primary record data to secondary records? In addition, the same data ID or trace ID may be used in multiple primary records due to a lack of standardization across business departments.
Primary data is correlated to secondary data by the dataId and traceId fields. Therefore, a data update based on the update_by_query command will be invalid and incorrect if primary data and secondary data arrive at the operation log system at the same time. In addition, primary data and secondary data may be correlated to each other on a many-to-many basis, and therefore the dataId and traceId fields are not the unique identifiers of a record.
In fact, Elasticsearch is also a NoSQL database that supports key-value caching. Therefore, you can create an Elasticsearch index to serve as an intermediate cache that caches primary data or secondary data, whichever arrives first. The _id element of the index consists of the dataId and traceId fields. This allows you to find the ID of the primary or secondary data record by using an intermediate ID. Most index data models are structured as follows, where the detailId field is the _id array record of the secondary index.
 "dataId": 1,
 "traceId": "abc",
 "moduleCode": "crm_01",
 "operationId": 100,
 "operationName": "Zhang San",
 "departmentId": 1000,
 "departmentName": "Account Department",
 "operationContent": "Visit clients",
 "detailId": [
As mentioned above, primary records and secondary records are both stored on a Kafka shard. This allows you to call the following core Elasticsearch APIs to pull data in batches:
# Query records in secondary indexes in bulk
# Insert in bulk
# Delete intermediate temporary indexes in bulk
Migration Procedure
1. Migrate Data
Here, we use DataX as the data synchronization tool based on the following factors:
 - Historical data: Operation log records are historical data that rarely need further modification once generated, making them similar to offline data.
 - Non-continuous migration: When the project is completed, the original MongoDB cluster is completely terminated and no secondary migration is required.
 - Data volume: The original MongoDB operation logs amount to billions of entries.
Therefore, the migration must be processed at an appropriate speed. An excessively fast migration leads to performance problems for the MongoDB cluster, while an excessively slow migration prolongs the project and increases O&M costs and complexity. If this is not an issue, you can select Hadoop as an intermediate platform for migration.
 - Scenario-based modifications of the DataX source code: DataX allows you to modify the source code to suit different scenarios, such as date type conversion and generation or mapping of primary index key _id fields. It also supports repeated synchronization.
 - Multi-instance and multi-thread operations in parallel: Synchronization of primary data and synchronization of secondary data are both deployed on multiple instances, and each instance is configured with multiple channels.
2. Configure Migration Indexes
Run the following command to temporarily modify some index settings, and then revert them when data is synchronized:
 "index.number_of_replicas": 0,
 "index.refresh_interval": "30s",
 "index.translog.flush_threshold_size": "1024M"
 "index.translog.durability": "async",
 "index.translog.sync_interval": "5s"
3. Migrate Applications
The operation log project is built by using Springboot, with the following custom configuration items added:
# Write flag mongodb in applications
writeflag.mongodb: true
# Write flag elasticsearch in applications
writeflag.elasticsearch: true
Project-based modifications:
 - When the project goes online for the first time, set the two write tags to true to enable double-write for MongoDB and Elasticsearch.
 - Two different read interfaces are provided for flexible frontend switching.
 - When data migration is completed and no difference exists, revert the values of the flags.
1. Benefits of Migration
By replacing a MongoDB storage database with Elasticsearch, we can use three Elasticsearch servers to do the work of 15 MongoDB servers, significantly reducing corporate costs each month. In addition, the query performance improved more than 10 times over, and the system provides better support for a variety of queries. This is a great help to the business department, O&M team, and company leaders.
2. Lessons Learned
The whole project took several months, and many colleagues participated in its design, R&D, data migration, testing, data verification, and stress testing. This technical solution was not designed all at once. Instead, it is the result of trial and error. Elasticsearch has many excellent technical features. Only flexible use can maximize its power.

Why Job Seekers Aren't Accepting Career Offers
Why Are Some Job Seekers Not Accepting Offers When Hiring Resumes in the United States?
According to recent research by Talroo, a number of forces influence these decisions, including concerns about childcare and home care, the desire for higher wages, and the effects of unemployment and incentive payments.
To attract workers, employers would benefit from focusing on higher wages and flexible working hours, the researchers found.
A recent infographic (below) explores these results from the study and explores what companies can do to attract applicants.

Mryia, full Mryia Jackalope, alos known as Atomhirsch, is a German furry writer and photographer.
Mryia is a fine-art photographer of abandoned places. Mryia is an active part of the German Urban Exploration (Urbex) scene under the pseudonym Atomhirsch (The name could be translated into nuclear deer).
Equipped with a Pentax K20D DSLR camera he sneaks, creeps and climbs into all kinds of abandoned buildings and places to make his artistic shots of a world after mankind. Sometimes he carries a life-sized inflatable reindeer with him as a kind of mascot, or use a deer mask to hide his face when making self-portraits while trespassing.
Fandom involvement[edit]
Mryia was known as a plushophile with a large collection of big plushies in his earlier furry life. One of his hobbies was sewing and making SPHs to make plushies anatomically correct.
He was also took commissions from all over the world and had a good reputation with his work.[citation needed] Notably, he sold two plush toys to the New York Museum of Sex - one rabbit (in a FurBid auction) and one Meeko.[1]
Mryia's furry persona is a special form of the Jackalope, the German Rasselbock, named mryia, taken from the Ukrainian language to mean dream (The English pronunciation being mreea). He normally appears as an anthropomorphic hare with deer antlers, as well as tusks like a predator. The..
Mryia has written a lot of furry stories, many of which are erotic, although most of them are in German. Some of his most popular stories are Tales of the Jackalope and Kleiner Tiger Mikhal. Most of his literary works can be found at SoFurry.

Accuracy of a projectile is typically quantified as the proportion of successful target hits, or the distance an object finishes from the target. Serving in sports such as badminton differs since the shuttlecock is usually intercepted by the opponent before landing on the target (i.e. court surface). Therefore, landing accuracy measures are inappropriate and a new method of determining accuracy of the serve is needed. During interviews, elite coaches and players described an accurate short serve as crossing the net with low clearance and having an apex before the net. Three-dimensional trajectory of the shuttlecock was therefore tracked from eight national-level players who performed 30 short serves in simulated match conditions (i.e. with an opponent); 27% of all serves were classified as 'accurate', 27% of serves as 'inaccurate', 21% with a 'good apex' position, and 25% with a 'good clearance' height. The proposed method of assessing shuttlecock trajectory as a measure of accuracy could be adopted by coaches and players to assess and improve short serve accuracy. Furthermore, this method is more representative of a match environment since the shuttlecock rarely lands because the opponent returns the serve.

Tk_BackgroundError - report Tcl error that occurred in background processing
This procedure is typically invoked when a Tcl error occurs during ''background processing'' such as executing a Tcl command in response to a button press or menu entry invocation. When such an error occurs, the error condition is reported to Tk or to a widget or some other C code, and there is not usually any obvious way for that code to report the error to the user. In these cases the code calls Tk_BackgroundError with an interp argument identifying the interpreter in which the error occurred. Tk_BackgroundError attempts to invoke the tkerror Tcl command to report the error in an application-specific fashion. If no tkerror command exists, or if it returns with an error condition, then Tk_BackgroundError reports the error itself by printing a message on the standard error file.
Tk_BackgroundError does not invoke tkerror immediately (in some cases this could interfere with scripts that are in process at the time the error occurred). Instead, it invokes tkerror later as an idle callback. Tk_BackgroundError saves the values of the errorInfo and errorCode variables and restores these values just before invoking tkerror.
It is possible for many background errors to accumulate before tkerror is invoked. When this happens, each of the errors is processed in order. However, if tkerror returns a break exception, then all remaining error reports for the interpreter are skipped.

If you've ever been to an ocean, you've probably seen sand dollars on the beach or in souvenir shops. You may have even seen live sand dollars moving around on the sandy ocean floor. But what exactly are these creatures?
Sand dollars — sometimes called sea cookies, snapper biscuits, sand cakes, cake urchins or pansy shells — are species of flat, burrowing echinoids that belong to the order Clypeasteroida. Sand dollars are related to sea urchins, sea cucumbers and starfish.
When sand dollars are alive, they live in shallow coastal waters along the sandy ocean floor. Unlike the white color of dead sand dollars, live sand dollars are usually green, purple or blue. Some people think live sand dollars look like fuzzy cookies!
Live sand dollars are covered with a dense, velvety layer of short spines and tubular feet. They use these spines and tubular feet to burrow into the sand and move around.
You may have noticed that sand dollar skeletons feature a pattern that looks like a flower. This pattern is where the live sand dollar's tubular feet are located. In addition to helping the sand dollar move, these tubular feet also help direct food found on the ocean floor to the sand dollar's mouth.

Neural scan interface
Barclay utilizes the neural scan interface.
A neural scan interface was a technology invented by Lieutenant Reginald Barclay while under the influence of a Cytherian probe in 2367.
After having his intelligence drastically increased by the probe, Barclay used the holodeck to create the necessary equipment, and tied his brain into the USS Enterprise-D's main computer core, instructing the computer on how to perform the procedure. This had the effect of integrating Barclay's thought processes into the Enterprise-D itself, essentially allowing him to act as the ship's computer. Utilizing this interface, Barclay generated a highly-charged graviton field from the warp nacelles, creating a powerful subspace distortion which transported the Enterprise-D 30,000 light years away, to the center of the galaxy. There, the crew encountered the Cytherians, who disconnected Barclay from the computer and returned his intelligence to normal. (TNG: "The Nth Degree")

algorithmic modeling for Rhino
I want to use kangaroo to achieve a minimal surface ( close to the one in the attached picture) where the open edges are made from 2 catenary Curves. How can I keep the two catenary curves in their place ( perpendicular to the XY plane)...
Views: 2938
Replies to This Discussion
Here is one way to set this up.
Turning the surface into a mesh, fixing the corners and letting the boundary vertices slide along the outer edge.
Note that this is a tensile surface, but not actually a true minimal one - that is a bit more work to set up using the soap film element.
Thank you a lot for your explanation, I will work on the adding soap film element..
I am not that expert in this topic but what I know is that you can achieve a minimal surface as a version of an existing one you already created, even if the surface is not flat the mean curvature can still be zero, here is an explanation:
"Minimal surface curvature planes. On a minimal surface the curvature along the principal curvature planes are equal and opposite at every point. This makes the mean curvature zero"
Thank you so much I will try them

National Dog Biscuit Day
National Dog Biscuit Day
National Dog Biscuit Day is nothing to turn your nose up at. After all, if it wasn't for this national day, your dog may not know "biscuits or "treats" as he knows them today. National Dog Biscuit Day is celebrated annually on February 23rd
Dog biscuits were not always called "biscuits". In fact, way back in the 1800's, biscuits or treats as we now know them, were referred to as dog bread. The name came to fruition due to the fact that dogs were indeed served bread. Not just any bread though, dogs were given the bread that was deemed not edible for human consumption. Day old, hard, moldy ….well, you get the picture. So, the bread was quite literally thrown to the dogs! They took what they could get, but one very important person came along that would change what was thrown to the dogs altogether.
"Necessity is the mother of invention" ~ Plato
James Pratt created the very first dog biscuit after a sad sight on a fateful trip to England. It all began in the middle of the 1800's. He saw the suffering of stray dogs in search of any old scraps of left of food. These poor dogs were literally scavengers. James Pratt was compelled to created edible, made for consumption cake-like biscuits. These biscuits were made of meat, grains and vegetables. He called these early biscuits "Meat Fibrine Cakes". He began selling these cakes to Englishmen for dogs, specifically sporting dogs. He then began to market his cakes at dog shows in America. Interestingly enough his biscuits dog cakes were given to army dogs during World War I. Now, the bone shaped biscuits that dogs have come to know love, milk bones, were created in 1907. Milk Bone was eventually bought out by Nabisco in 1931 and subsequently taken over by Genera Mills in 1950.
The Biscuit Industry has Exploded
Now more than ever, the market for dog biscuits has exploded. Dogs everywhere are begging for more and their pet parents are giving right in! Varieties of dog biscuits exist for every possible reason and taste bud. Every texture and every flavor can be found in pet shops across the world, but why?
Most domesticated dogs no longer have to scavenge for "bread" or "biscuits", but present day biscuits, or treats, are used in a variety of ways.
 1. Chewing is a natural way for dogs to get their energy out. Many treats are made specifically to keep your dog occupied and focused for a period of time. We all have experienced just what happens when a dog becomes bored! He will find something to chew on and it's usually not one of his own belongings.
 2. Similarly, chewing does mimic the brushing action of a tooth brush. This means your dog can chew on a treat and have his teeth cleaned at the exact same time. Two for the price of one! These treats are specifically marketed as dental chews although, many treats or chews can achieve the very same result.
 3. Dog treats of biscuits are also used for training. Pet parents everywhere learn early on the power of their pet's favorite treat. Most dogs will do exactly as you say if they know that the potential for a treat exists. Learning basic commands and tricks all of a sudden becomes relevant for a dog that has experienced receiving treats as a reward!
 4. Just because! If you have never given your dog a treat just because he's cute and you love him more than just about anything else then, well, you're lying! Just as our dog openly expresses his love to us, we do our best to do the same and often time that means giving treats, toys, and snuggles "just because". The only downfall with this is that some dogs end up a little too pudgy for their own good. Moderation is key!
How will you celebrate National Dog Biscuit Day this year?
Why not celebrate by giving a nod to Mr. James Pratt? Dogs in need everywhere would love a good treat. Reach out to your favorite shelter, rescue or pet sitter and donate treats. Often times in our effort to donate, we always send things that dogs need. Why not add treats to that list because most dogs in shelter or rescue situations could use a little boost and what a great way to do so.
After you donate, why not try your hand at baking just like James Pratt. You won't need to start from "scratch" either (no pun intended). Treat recipes can be found all over the internet and in book stores these days. Many recipes are easy to whip up and require only a few ingredients. It doesn't get much easier. In fact, many treat recipes are "no bake". Just mix the ingredients and freeze or refrigerate. Well, what are you waiting for?
We hope you never look at dog treats the same again! Now, go give your dog a treat!

Medium and low carbon steels, modified with uranium, were studied in order to evaluate the influence of uranium on forgeability, mechanical properties, response to heat treatment and microstructure. Uranium contents ranged up to 0.70 per cent. The medium carbon steels are hot short if the uranium content exceeds about 0.35 per cent. More uranium can be tolerated in low carbon steels. The hot shortness is caused by the formation of intergranular phase UFe1.

to be a Crane
Wild baby cranes learn from their parents
what food to eat, where to sleep and how to fly. They learn because
they identify with
their parents. Chicks try hard to stay with their parents and imitate
them. Imprinting is a quick way of learning who their parents are so
they can follow them within hours, and they won't get lost.
Chicks born in captivity imprint and learn, too. But their "parent" is
a puppet that looks just like an adult crane.


Regulation Z
The Truth in Lending Act was originally Title I of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, Pub.L. 90–321, 82 Stat. 146, enacted June 29, 1968. The regulations implementing the statute, which are known as "Regulation Z", are codified at 12 C.F.R. 226. Most of the specific requirements imposed by TILA are found in Regulation Z, so a reference to the requirements of TILA usually refers to the requirements contained in Regulation Z, as well as the statute itself.

text: With the increasing demands for radio spectrum, techniques are being explored that would allow dynamic access of spectrum bands that are underutilized. In this regard, a new paradigm called dynamic spectrum access is being investigated where wireless service providers (WSPs) would dynamically seek more spectrum from the under-utilized licensed bands when and where they need without interfering with the primary users. Currently, there is little understanding on how such a dynamic allocation will operate so as to make the system feasible under economic terms. In this paper, we consider the dynamic spectrum allocation process where multiple WSPs (bidders) compete to acquire necessary spectrum band from a common pool of spectrum. We use auction theory to analyze the allocation process when the demand from WSPs exceeds the available spectrum. We investigate various auction mechanisms under different spectrum allocation constraints to find WSPs' bidding strategies and revenue generated by spectrum owner. We show that sequential bidding of bands provides better result than the concurrent bidding when WSPs are constrained to at most single unit allocation. On the other hand, when the bidders request for multiple units, (i.e., they are S. Sengupta · M. Chatterjee (B) School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL 32816, USA e-mail: _EMAIL_ S. Sengupta e-mail: _EMAIL_ not restricted by allocation constraints) synchronous auction mechanism proves to be beneficial than asynchronous auctions.

Life Science: Bottle Biology
Bottle Basics: Stringing Bottles
Bottle columns do not have to be strung and hung up but there are several advantages to doing so. By stringing bottles, you can:
- access different segments of your system more easily;
- stabilize your system and hold joints together better;
- transport your system more easily; and
- increase the chances that kids and/or pets will not knock your system over.
- Use a soldering iron (a hole punch works too, but holes are more
prone to ripping out) to make holes on each side of the bottle above
and below each joint.
- String nylon craft cord (string works too but is prone to decaying if it stays wet a long time) up one side and down the other, alternating between from outside in and from inside out.

THE first-ever official State commemoration of the 1913 Lockout will take place in Dublin this summer.
THE Government is making arrangements which will involve the State in a major event to mark the centenary of the dramatic events that shook the city for almost six months.
One-third of the population suffered severe hardship after employers locked out their workers in a widespread dispute stemming from efforts to curb the growth of trade unions.
Three people were killed and hundreds more injured by police baton charges in violent incidents during the dispute.
Author Padraig Yeates (66), a leading member of the 1913 Commemoration Committee, told the Herald the State has never taken an official role in commemorating the Lockout events. The official commemorations are likely to centre on the events of August 1913, when hundreds of people were injured when police baton-charged crowds on O'Connell Street, then known as Sackville Street
The previous night, two men died from blows from police batons in riots on Burgh Quay and Eden Quay.
A third man died after being batoned in his home in Foley Street during police raids that weekend.
The State commemoration will also officially acknowledge the role of the labour movement in the turbulent decade which followed and its role in securing Irish independence, said Mr Yeates.
An Post will be issuing commemorative stamps.

Higher reliability. Improved mixing efficiency. Increased duration.
Pressure leaching 'severe service' challenges:
- scale formation
- corrosion (acidic environment)
- wear and erosion
- high velocity and 3-phase flow
- high oxygen concentration
- thermal shock
Specific to the autoclave industry, MOGAS has directly employed and strategically partnered with the best technical specialists, who support the start-up and ramp up to full production of high-pressure acid leach (HPAL) and pressure oxidation (POx) production plants globally.
These experienced operational and maintenance personnel have solid process understanding—a critical factor in the successful start-up of a high-pressure metallurgy process in an autoclave-based circuit, compared to a conventional atmospheric leach or concentrator plant.
This experience base provides input and a better understanding of the overall process circuit beyond autoclaves that advance valve and system designs specific to customer requirements. MOGAS can assess specific design aspects of the circuit to not only assimilate the current operational procedures, but to the underlying reasons for the way the procedures were developed—the 'why's' to procedural steps, operational sequences or specific design features.
The majority of all autoclaves worldwide use MOGAS severe service technology.

Paper is an important part of the human ecosystem and paper products are still widely used all around the world in every country. Paper gets moisture from its environment and bad moisture affects the quality of the paper. During the production process of paper, it is crucial to know how much water is there in the product and for this purpose Moisture Meter is used by paper and wood pulp manufacturers.
The paper industry uses the following three methods to measure the moisture content of the paper:
Moisture Meter: Some Moisture Meters use electrical resistance and contact pins to measure the content of moisture in the paper pulp while others use special electrodes with rolling contact heads that allow the meter to get a reading of the moisture content of paper pulp during production. If the water content is high in paper pulp, the paper may fall apart and the high content of moisture can affect the efficiency of the instruments involved in the paper-making process.
Oven Dry Method: This is the most accurate method to check the moisture of paper and wood pulp and serves as the reference for any instrumental measurements. A paper sample after weighing is exposed to 221 degrees Fahrenheit oven. When the samples are weighed again after cooling, the gravimetric difference is calculated as 'percent moisture'.
Moisture Saber: This is a common method of testing paper moisture in offset printing. The sword-like instrument is inserted into a stack of paper and it reads the paper's RH to calculate moisture content. The degree of accuracy is acceptable for approximate measurements and paper mills often deploy this method to retain exact moisture data for the lots of paper they manufacture.
Measures to manage paper moisture content
- Always prefer buying paper with the right moisture content whether offset or digital.
- Maintain stable moisture content through good paper handling within recommended guidelines.
- Use appropriate technology to ensure proper moisture levels by deploying moisture meters suited for paper, paperboard, corrugated boxes and wood pulp.
- Keep your current paper products at the optimum moisture content.
- The paper should get enough time to acclimatize to the environment's temperature.
- The paper should not be stationed near a heating or cooling unit as these devices can interfere with the paper's acclimatization process.
- During paper production, the packaged paper should be kept wrapped until the time it has to be processed.
- The use of vapor-proof wrappers is highly recommended during paper production as it helps the paper to remain fresh and tightly-knit, keeping the excess and unwanted moisture out of the final product.
Precautions for papers for digital printing
To ensure optimum performance for digital printing papers store paper in the original wrapper. Locate the press in a controlled temperature and humidity environment should be 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. To eliminate temperature differences between the paper and the environment, acclimatize paper in its wrapper at print room conditions for 24 hours before printing.

Smažený sýr (Czech pronunciation: [ˈsmaʒɛniː ˈsiːr], Slovak: Vyprážaný syr [ˈvipraːʒaniː ˈsir]; literally "fried cheese") is a Czech and Slovak cheese-based dish, widely spread in both countries, thanks to the former state of unification (see Czechoslovakia).
Fried Gruyère/Swiss cheese, served with tartar sauce and side salad.
A slice of cheese (which is usually Edam, but can also be Hermelín (in the Czech Republic), Emmental (in Slovakia) or some other cheese) and about 1.5 cm in thickness, is breaded with flour, egg and bread crumbs and fried either in a pan or in a deep fryer. It is often served with a side salad, potatoes (fries or boiled potatoes), and typically with tartar sauce (or mayonnaise). In Czech fast food outlets, it can be also prepared in the form of a sandwich (i.e., between two slices of bread, usually something similar to a hamburger bun). The usual complement is tartar sauce. The dish may also be prepared with a thin slice of ham sandwiched between two slices of cheese.
