a typical SoDIMM.
The SoDIMM package proved so compelling it has been adapted for SDRAM modules. The SDRAM SoDIMMs are slightly longer than those used by older technologies, measuring 2.67 inches (67.6 millimeters) long.
As with full-size DIMMs, SDRAM SoDIMMs come in two physically incompatible styles for SDR and DDR.
SDR SoDIMMs have 144 contacts on their edge connectors. DDR modules have 200. Each style of SoDIMM has a single notch, but the position of the notch is different for SDR and DDR modules. With SDR modules, the notch is only slightly offset from the center; with DDR modules, the notch is near one edge (the pin 1 side) of the module. Figure 16.7 shows the difference in the notches used by the two varieties of SDRAM modules.

The Flat Rubik is a collection of two-dimensional computerized combination puzzles presented by puzzlemystery.com. A combination puzzle, also known as a sequential move or sliding block puzzle, is a puzzle which consists of a set of blocks which can be manipulated into different combinations by a group of operations. The object of the puzzle is to manipulate blocks by certain operations to establish a certain (unscrambled) end-configuration starting from a random (scrambled) combination.
The Flat Rubik puzzles consist of 4x4, 9x9, or 15x15 square. Each square consists of 2x2, 3x3, or 5x5 color blocks. When you click the "Start New" button the puzzle blocks are scrambled by the computer. For the puzzle to be solved, blocks should be unscrambled. Colors should be separated and each block must be a solid color (the numbers do not have to be in order). You can move blocks by clicking on square. Each Flat Rubik puzzle has different blocks sliding rules. Our collection includes the following Flat Rubik puzzles:


Microsoft released qchain.exe in 2001. This utility, which works with Windows 2000 and Windows NT, lets you chain hotfixes (i.e., install multiple hotfixes one after another without having to reboot in between). In the past, chaining was difficult because you had to install fixes in a specific order so that the update procedure wouldn't overwrite new system files with earlier versions. The problem with chaining was that the last hotfix applied "won." To address that problem, Qchain manages the file-replacement process by recording files in the registry's Pending File Rename queue. Qchain analyzes the contents of the Pending File Rename subkey and applies only the most current version of the files of all applied patches.
Listing A shows sample code that illustrates how to use Qchain in a script to deploy hotfixes. The first three lines of the sample script apply three hotfixes. The -z switch applies the hotfix without rebooting; -m applies the hotfix in unattended mode, without administrative intervention; and -q applies the hotfix in quiet mode, hiding the extract and copy actions that take place. If you're applying patches manually, you might want to leave out the -q switch to view the progress of the hotfix.
The fourth line in the script runs Qchain and specifies a file in which to log Qchain's results. The sample code puts the log file in the Logs directory on a server named Fschicago and specifies a unique filename based on the computer name and the date the script ran. Because you're likely to run Qchain at a later date, a unique log name prevents you from overwriting older logs. Finally, the Shutdown utility (from the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit or the Microsoft Windows NT Server Resource Kit) performs a local reboot of the machine by using the /l and /r switches. The /l switch performs a logoff; the /r switch performs a clean shutdown and a restart.

This article conceptually integrates research on the experience of nostalgia—defined as a predominantly positive, social, and past-oriented emotion—into the fold of video game research. We emphasize the role of nostalgia as an explanation for contemporary retro gaming trends, and suggest that nostalgia towards gaming events is a necessary area of research. To those ends, we broadly review existing literature on nostalgia before specifically focusing on media-induced nostalgia, and demonstrate how theoretical and empirical observations from this work can be applied to understand video game nostalgia. In particular, we argue that engaging in older gaming experiences indirectly (via memories) and even directly (via replaying or recreating experiences) elicits nostalgia, which in turn contributes to players' self-optimization and enhanced well-being. Moreover, as gamers and the medium mature together, nostalgic experiences with the medium are likely to become increasingly prevalent. The broad aim of this article is to offer future directions for research on video game nostalgia and provide a research agenda for research in this area.

Tipster Dean Culver has created a dynamic block in AutoCAD for a labeled bracket.
"The bracket is a dynamic block that is inserted, then rotated to the right, left, top, or bottom using AutoCAD's normal Rotate command. Using the rotation action (blue dot) placed within the text, you can rotate the text to the desired orientation.
"The bracket can be stretched by using the blue arrows located on either side of the bracket to the left or right or from the top or bottom, depending on how the bracket is oriented. The text will remain centered in relation to its length, unless you modified the text position prior to stretching. The whole block can be moved using the dynamically placed base point at the center apex of the bracket."
Notes from Cadalyst Tip Reviewer Brian Benton: This is a great example of what you can do with dynamic blocks in AutoCAD. There are several ways to manipulate it, and it has a text option. If you need to create annotation similar to this, give it a try — or just take a look at how the block was constructed so you can create dynamic blocks.

TMT Libraries
Sharjah, UAE
ANARCHITECT was commissioned to design a public library as part of an initiative between the Government of Sharjah and Knowledge without Borders in support of '2016 - Year of Reading', aimed to make reading and books more approachable within a cultural and new contextual condition within the Emirate.
The practice created two mirroring library TMT structures (Thermally modified timber), one containing Philosophical and the other Psychological literature that would engage in a physical dialogue with one another in multiple configurations around an unexpected piece of nature (tree, or shrub) occurring in the urban realm.
We developed subtle differences between each library in a way that one of the structures would be oriented towards the courtyard, darker, and suitable for introspection of one's own mind and emotions, and the other would be more open and transparent, letting its readers observe the surroundings and responding and embracing the natural sunlight.

How many Norwegian domain names are there? How many new domain names are registered and how many are deleted? Who are the biggest registrars for Norwegian domain names? On this page you can find statistics about the Norwegian domain marked.
Since 17 March 1987.no has been the national top level domain for Norway. In 1989 the database consisted of 19 domain names. In 1995 the number had increased to more than 1000 domain names and in year 2000 we exceeded 50,000 registered Norwegian domain names. In 2020 we exceeded 800,000.
Development in the number of new registrations of domain names
Table view of development in the number of new registrations of domain names
Number of new domains
The graph shows the development in the number of new registrations of domain names per year from 1999 until today. Three conditions may have impacted the numbers. In February 2001 some big changes were made to the terms and conditions. Each holder could now order more than one domain name, and did not need to document rights to the name. In February 2004 it became possible to register domain names with national characters (æ, ø, å and some other characters). In June 2014 private individuals were permitted to register domain names directly under.no (previously they could only register under 'priv.no).
Domain names secured with DNSSEC
DNSSEC (DNS Security Extensions) is a security mechanism that is added to the domain name system. With DNSSEC the response to a domain inquiry is signed in a way that makes it possible to check that the response is from the right source and has not been changed on the way. DNSSEC was introduced on the Norwegian marked in December 2014.

National Daughter's Day is a special observance that focuses on celebrating the bond between daughters and their families, as well as highlighting the unique relationship between a daughter and her parents. This day encourages families to acknowledge the importance of their daughters and empowers them to strive for success, happiness, and fulfillment in their lives. The observance also promotes the equal treatment of daughters and sons, seeking to break down traditional gender roles and restrictions that may hinder the aspirations of young girls.
Though the origin of National Daughter's Day is not well-documented, it is believed to have emerged as a response to traditional celebrations that often only recognized sons, such as Father's Day and Mother's Day. Canada, being a country with a culture that supports gender equality and diversity, embraces this day as an opportunity to celebrate the achievements and contributions of daughters across the nation. The inclusion of National Daughter's Day in Canadian society not only strengthens family ties but also reiterates the importance of empowering and encouraging young women to reach their fullest potential.
National Daughter's Day is observed in Canada by families dedicating time to their daughters, engaging in meaningful activities, and appreciating the unique qualities they bring to the family dynamic. It offers an opportunity for parents to express their love and support for their daughters, as well as fostering a strong foundation for a healthy and loving relationship as they grow. Although there is no specific date assigned to National Daughter's Day in Canada, it is typically celebrated during the month of September, aligning with observances in other countries.

Niquitin mini 4 mg 3x20 pressed lozenges
Niquitin mini 4 mg 60 pressed lozenges
 - $43.50
NiQuitin Mini 4 mg is a smoking lozenge that replaces some of the nicotine absorbed by inhalation from cigarettes. NiQuitin Mini 4 mg treats smoking addiction by alleviating withdrawal symptoms (such as irritability and weakness) and suppressing the appetite for smoking when nicotine is stopped. Absorbed nicotine reduces the desire to smoke and helps to resist a cigarette. It does not contain tar or carbon monoxide and therefore does not have the same health risk as tobacco smoking. Pressed lozenges NiQuitin Mini 4 mg are intended for adult smokers who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day.
Stop smoking at once: Adults start taking 8-12 lozenges daily for up to 6 weeks whenever you get a cigarette. Then gradually reduce them to 1-2 lozenges a day, then stop taking them.
Quitting smoking gradually: When the irresistible need to smoke, adults use a lozenge instead of a cigarette. Gradually reduce the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Reducing the number should stop smoking.
If you do not stop smoking completely within 6 months, consult your doctor. The lozenges must not be chewed or swallowed. Do not take more than 15 lozenges a day. Children 12 years of age and adolescents should only take the medicine on the advice of a doctor.
The active substance is nicotine 4 mg as a resin complex (nicotini resinas 20.00 mg) in one lozenge.
The other ingredients are mannitol, sodium alginate, potassium bicarbonate, xanthan gum, polycarbophil calcium, sodium carbonate, acesulfame potassium, magnesium stearate, peppermint flavor and menthol powder flavor, corrigents. NiQuitin Mini does not contain sugar.
The lozenges are not suitable for children under 12 years and for non-smokers.

Cultivation of Ginseng
Wild-simulated ginseng presents the best opportunity to successfully cultivate and market ginseng for profit.
Ginseng has fairly stringent environmental requirements. It requires at least 70 percent shade. The soil must have enough base nutrients (15-20 percent base saturation) to meet its needs, but not so much that the soil pH exceeds 6 (liming is out of the question unless pH is too low). The soil must be moist, but well-drained. To achieve this, the organic matter content has to be pretty high. Heavy clays and very sandy soils are poor for ginseng. Ginseng does not compete will with other plants, so vegetation control is necessary.
Ginseng grows best in small patches, not rows or giant beds. So plantings should be dispersed throughout your woodlot.

How to Drain Gas from a Briggs & Stratton Lawnmower, the best three methods
It's the start of the season, and you take your winterized Briggs & Stratton lawnmower out. If you notice your engine not starting after not using it for an extended time, it's a high possibility that the fuel stored in it has gone stale. As a result, deposits have formed inside the carburetor, and the engine doesn't produce enough power. The solution to this is to drain the old fuel completely from your lawnmower, clean the carburetor and add fresh gas. Besides bad fuel, there can be other reasons you need to drain the tank's gas. This blog post helps you with some of the best and easiest methods to drain the gas from a Briggs & Stratton lawnmower.
How to drain gas from a Briggs and Stratton lawnmower, the best three methods:
 - Method 1: Use a siphon pump to empty the fuel tank. The pump's top hose goes into the tank, whereas the bottom hose carries fuel to a storage container.
 - Method 2: Disconnect the fuel line leading to the carburetor and collect the fuel coming out of it until the tank is emptied.
 - Method 3: For lighter walk-behind mowers, the machine can be tilted with the air filter upwards to catch the tank's fuel.
How to Drain Gas from a Briggs & Stratton Lawnmower, the best three methods 1
For almost all small engines, gasoline is used as fuel. The gasoline quality doesn't remain the same over time. It generally degrades, thus forming deposits. Typically, gasoline compounds react with oxygen to form sticky residues that can clog your filters and jets. As a result, the fuel isn't able to reach the engine for combustion to initiate. To solve this problem, you need to replenish the gasoline in the tank.
This article will look into the above-mentioned methods in more detail.
The best ways to drain gas from a Briggs and Stratton lawnmower:
There are several ways to remove gas from your Briggs and Stratton lawnmower. We shall explore these methods one by one.
- Equipment needed:
It's always better to know what tools you would need before starting any repair work. Luckily, this task doesn't need sophisticated equipment. If you choose the siphon pump method, you need one, of course. Additionally, you need a pair of nose pliers, a screwdriver, a rag to catch spills, and a plastic container/bottle for this job. Before you start, park the Briggs and Stratton lawnmower at a location that can deal with some gas spillage.
- Method 1: Using a siphon pump:
A siphon pump is the cleanest and easiest way of removing bad gasoline from the Briggs and Stratton fuel tank. It can be used on both riding lawnmowers and walk-behind lawnmowers. You can purchase a siphon pump quite easily by visiting a car parts store for as low as 10$.
– For riding lawnmowers:
In riding Briggs and Stratton lawnmowers, the gas tank is situated just underneath the seat or under the hood. For some models, you might need to lift the seat to access the fuel cap.
 - Step 1: To drain the fuel, open the cap and insert the siphon pump's top hose to fully immersed into the tank. For your information, a siphon pump comes with two hoses. The top one is inserted from where the fuel has to be drained. In contrast, the bottom hose carries the drained fuel into a secondary container.
 - Step 2: Manage any plastic cylinder or a plastic bottle to store the gasoline removed from the tank. Avoid using any metal can since the flow of gas can induce static charge, which may produce a spark in the presence of metal.
 - Step 3: Pump the siphon with your hand to draw the gasoline from the tank and transfer it into the plastic container. Remove any kinks or curls in the siphon hose to allow easy drainage. Keep pumping the gas until the fuel tank is empty.
– For walk-behind lawnmowers:
For walk-behind Briggs and Stratton lawnmowers, the methodology is entirely the same except that the gas tank is easier to find as it is present on the top. Remove its cap and insert the siphon hose to drain the fuel.
- Method 2: Disconnecting the fuel line:
If a siphon pump isn't available, you can disconnect the fuel line. This method is somewhat more complex but is still quite convenient to drain the Briggs and Stratton fuel tank. It can be applied to both riding and walk-behind lawnmowers.
– Riding lawnmowers:
In riding lawnmowers, the first thing you need to do is locate the fuel line that transports the fuel from the tank into the carburetor.
Step 1: To access the carburetor, you might need to lift the mower hood and detach the air filter assembly. This might seem not very easy, but once you gain access to the carburetor, it's just a matter of a few minutes to drain the fuel entirely.
Step 2: Once the Briggs and Stratton carburetor is visible, locate the fuel line that carries the tank's fuel. You need to use a pair of nose pliers to squeeze the hose and remove it from the connector's hold. Or you can loosen the connector with a screwdriver.
Step 3: When the hose is detached, fuel starts coming out of it. You need to arrange an open container to catch the fuel coming from the tank. Lower the hose downwards and allow all the fuel to be drained entirely into the container. Keep doing this until the tank has been emptied.
– Walk-behind lawnmowers:
This procedure is comparatively easy in Briggs and Stratton walk-behind mowers as the fuel line is normally visible from the outside. Furthermore, the mower deck acts as a fuel-catching container and can catch gas spills.
Before draining the fuel, don't forget to clean the fuel lines from dirt with a rag.
- Method 3: Tilting the mower over:
The last method sounds easy but is often more challenging than you think. It can better be performed with two people. It is limited to walk-behind Briggs and Stratton mowers as they can be tilted easily. Before starting, make sure you follow the steps below:
 - Step 1: Before tilting, make sure that the spark plug wire is disconnected so that there is no risk of your Briggs and Stratton engine starting accidentally. Also, take care that the air filter assembly needs be pointing upwards when tilting the mower. This step is done so that the engine oil does not flow into the fuel tank.
 - Step 2: Arrange a plastic container to catch the fuel and place it under the fuel cap. Open the fuel cap and allow the fuel to be entirely drained into the container.
 - Step 3: Once the container is empty, dispose of the fuel removed and close the fuel cap. Reconnect the spark plug wire.
- Additional Steps:
Note that whatever method you follow for draining the fuel, there are some additional steps that you should follow for completely removing the fuel remnants from your mower.
– Run the engine for a while:
After the Briggs and Stratton fuel tank is empty, some fuel might still be left in the carburetor and fuel lines. To empty this leftover fuel, start your lawnmower engine and allow it to run for a while. When the engine has stopped after some time, your device is devoid of any fuel now.
– Clean the carburetor:
When removing old fuel, it is always good to clean the carburetor from old fuel deposits. To do this, open the bowl nut of your carburetor and remove both the nut and bowl. Spray some carburetor cleaner liquid on the nut, which is the main jet, to dislodge any debris. Also, clean the bowl and spray some cleaner inside the carburetor. This guarantees a smooth Briggs and Stratton engine performance once you start it after fresh fuel addition.
Related Questions:
1. What is the best lawnmower gas?
The best gas for a lawnmower is the one with the following characteristics:
 - It should be fresh and clean.
 - If you are working at high altitudes, you should have at least an octane number of 87.
 - 10 percent of ethanol or up to 15 percent of MTBE
 - A canned fuel option such as Briggs & Stratton Advanced Formula Ethanol-Free Fuel can also be used.
2. Should I be using a fuel stabilizer?
A fuel stabilizer is a way to safeguard the gas in the lawnmower. It is generally made from petroleum products and is combined with gasoline to prevent evaporation. This prevents the gasoline from forming sticky deposits stuck in the carburetor and can restrict the flow.
Fuel stabilizers are not recommended for the daily use of vehicles. However, it is highly recommended for seasonal equipment such as lawnmowers to use a fuel stabilizer to avoid gasoline evaporation.
3. Can you clean a lawnmower fuel filter?
Cleaning a fuel filter occasionally prevents deposits in the carburetor and guarantees a smooth engine operation. To clean the fuel filter, detach the fuel line leaving the fuel tank for the carburetor. The filter is present in this fuel line.
After removing the filter, clean it using a solvent cleaner. Let it dry for some time and reinstall it back into the fuel line. Note that your fuel tank should be emptied while doing this, and fresh addition of fuel should

The values that SPARQL's DATATYPE() function returns are similar to, but not exactly the same as the datatype of a literal. In cases where DATATYPE() is called with a typed literal, it returns the datatype of the literal. However, the DATATYPE() function definition also defines two cases in which a value is returned when the literal *isn't* a typed literal:
- If the literal is a simple literal, return xsd:string
- If the literal is literal with a language tag, return rdf:langString
In both of these cases, the literal in question is a plain literal, not a typed literal. With that in mind, hopefully the language used in describing ORDER BY is more clear (that is, "an RDF literal with type xsd:string" is merely one of two possibly argument types for which DATATYPE() may return xsd:string).
I hope this clarifies the issue.

Data Virtualization with MongoDB using PolyBase in SQL Server 2019
October 9, 2020 by
In this article, you'll learn the approach to integrate MongoDB data source using data virtualization technique in SQL Server 2019. In this article, you can see how SQL Server 2019 provides a platform to create a modern enterprise data hub using data virtualization technology and the PolyBase technique.
 1. Discuss Data Virtualization
 2. Pre-requisite to setup MongoDB
 3. Set up MongoDB external connection in SQL Server 2019
 4. Many more…
The advent of Data virtualization in SQL Server 2019 allows us to solve modern and complex data challenges. Data virtualization with PolyBase in SQL Server 2019 is used as a data hub, and you can directly query the data from several heterogeneous data sources. These data sources include Azure Managed Instance, Oracle, Teradata, SAP HANA, MongoDB, Hadoop clusters, Cosmos DB, and SQL Server. We can query the data source using T-SQL and without separately installing driver software.
The data virtualization in SQL Server 2019 is an improvised solution to the ETL process. The other advantage of Data virtualization is that it allows the integration of data from different sources such as Azure MI, SQL Server, MongoDB, Oracle, DB2, Cosmos DB, and Hadoop-Distributed-File-System (HDFS) without the much data movement around the source and destination. This process is possible with the advent of PolyBase connectors.
 - Using T-SQL, we can query heterogeneous data sources using PolyBase connectors. This provides the bridge to query the data from external data sources such as SQL Server, Oracle, Teradata, MongoDB, and ODBC data sources with external tables
 - It also supports the UTF-8 encoding format
Get started:
In this section, you will learn how to create secure data access from the underlying data source.
In this case, PolyBase uses the security model of the MongoDB model to access the data. In most cases, we need permission to read the data. However, the credentials used to read the data and it is stored inside the PolyBase data hub.
To set-up data virtualization, follow the below steps:
 1. Setup database master key
 2. Create database-scoped credentials
 3. PolyBase external tables
 4. Configure External data sources
To configure database virtualization, select the database. Right-click the database and select Create External Table that starts the data virtualization wizard.
 1. Select a data source
 2. Create a database master key
In this section, we will see how to create a database master key. The master key is created inside the SQL Server database and it acts as a data hub.
The master key is providing a secure way to read data using the credentials in the external data source. It is always recommended to choose a complex password for the master key. In addition, use the BACKUP MASTER KEY command to back up the master key.
 1. You can have one master key in a database instance
 2. Use a secure location to backup the master key
 3. If you already have the master key created in your SQL instance—re-use it. The same master key is used to secure data access for data virtualization
 4. To see whether the master key is already created run the following query
 Display Sysmetric_keys details
Syntax to create a database master key is as follows:
Database scoped credentials
Database scoped credentials provide the abstraction layer to secure the model to access the data from the data source. SQL Server 2019 supports the following security models when using PolyBase for data virtualization:
 1. Proxy authentication
 2. Kerberos authentication
 3. Storage access key—shared secret key
The following syntax is used to provide SQL Server with the security context for a connection to a MongoDB external data source. In addition, you will see a shared secret key in use to create a database scoped credential.
 - Note: The identity refers to the username of the MongoDB external data source
To validate database scoped credentials in the datahub run the following T-SQL:
Display database scope credentials
Configure External data sources
External data sources provide a path to virtualize data from other data sources. It collects all the meta-data to access data from the single database object.
Each external data source provides the below options required to access the external source:
 - Location
 - port
 - credential
 - connectivity
The LOCATION parameter defines the communication protocol, server name and port for connectivity.
In this case, the communication protocol is mongodb and server is and port is 27017
The CREDENTIAL argument uses the database scoped credential MyMongoDBDemo2019. The external data source will use this database-scoped credential to query the target data sources
 - Note: The Connection_options and Pushdown parameters will be explained later in the article
 - To validate external data sources run the following T-SQL:
 Display external_data_sources
 How to map an external data table
 In this section, we will see how to create external views. On selecting the parent tables, the child tables are also referred by default. In addition, you have the mapping table where you modify the columns to match the target data types. This also gives you the option to modify the name of the external table.
 Let us look at the details of the MongoDB instance. Create the user using the following commands. I will not go in-depth on MongoDB concepts.
 how to connect mongoDB
 PolyBase external tables
 External tables provide SQL Server with the schema to reason over data in the external data source.
 Error Message:
 The T-SQL create external table statement errors out with the following details. You can see that the TLS handshake failed error reported. This can be handled in two ways. You can manage it at the Mongo DB startup parameters or you can turn off the SSL parameter or you can turn off the SSL=false in the T-SQL statement.
 "Msg 105082, Level 16, State 1, Line 16
 105082;Generic ODBC error: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client:
 No suitable servers found (serverSelectionTryOnce set):
 [TLS handshake failed: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0) calling ismaster on '']
 (Error Code: 13053) Additional error <2>:
 ErrorMsg: [Microsoft][MongoDBODBC] (110) Error from MongoDB Client: No suitable servers found (serverSelectionTryOnce set)
 (Error Code: 13053), SqlState: HY000, NativeError: 110 "
 You may receive this error due to the SSL issue. Now, the CONNECTION_OPTIONS parameter plays a role to connect MongoDB data source.
 In this case, set the connection_options to ssl=false and then run the create external statement.
 The CONNECTION_OPTION setting suppresses the connection over SSL, which is a default requirement for communicating with many other data sources. I will discuss more about it in the next article.
 Let us run create external table statement again:
 We can see in the below snippet, the external table created successfully.
 Create mongoDB external table
 Let us validate the external table using the following T-SQL:
 Display the external tables
 Now, Let us browse object explorer to validate the existence of the External Tables and External Data Sources.
 Display external employee table
 Finally, query the external table
 MongoDB data validation in SSMS and MongoDB console
 In this article, we discussed how to set up a PolyBase in SQL Server for MongoDB external data source.
 To summarize the steps real quick:
 The data virtualization framework provides a platform to eliminate the use of redundant data copies. To maintain the physical copy always requires additional storage and hardware resources. It incurs to increase an additional overhead on costs. Using the data virtualization technique, organizations can create an abstract layer to create a virtual data copy from a heterogeneous or homogeneous data repositories. The virtual copies define the soft external table links to the physical data repository. As I mentioned, the data virtualization technique not only avoids extra storage but it provides strong consistency between the source and the target in the data retrieval process. In addition, it addresses the data issues which in turn improves the data quality and improves the data query performance.
 That's all for now. I hope you like this article. Stay tuned for more updates…

Researchers believe that ancestors of the rare Exmoor ponies may have been used by warriors in service to Queen Boudicca in the first century CE. The ponies are being imported to the Drumburgh Moss National Nature Reserve, maintained near Carlisle, England, by the Cumbria Wildlife Trust. According to naturalists, invasive grasses threaten to dry out the peat bog and destroy native mosses and other plant life. Six of the Exmoor ponies were moved to Drumburgh on June 8, 2006.
The ponies provide a natural way to remove the invasive grasses, and they are unusual in their ability (and willingness) to wade belly-deep into the bog to graze. They also are unusually resistant to the hoof-rot that would afflict many other equine species.

The Old Colony Building was designed and constructed between 1893 and 1894 by the architectural firm of Holabird and Roche. As Chicago School architects, they sought to reveal the character of the steel skeletal structure while cladding their buildings with an appropriate surface. The 17-story steel frame building is sheathed in Bedford limestone on the first three floors and by gray brick and terra cotta above that. A two-story colonnade runs along the 15th and 16th floors with a cornice crowning the 17th floor. Oriel windows project from every corner of the building from the third story to the cornice. The design's unity derives from the repetition of Chicago windows along the second floor and in the center bay of the north facade. Variety is found in the contrast between the horizontal stress of the narrow north facade and the distinct vertical thrust of the long east and west facades.
The facade of the Old Colony Building has remained intact, although major alterations to the interior have occurred on the ground floor. The lobby's original surfaces and stairs have all been replaced and the open cages of the elevators have been enclosed.
The Old Colony Building is located at 407 S. Dearborn St. and the lobby and some offices within are open to the public.

Subject: Programs for Examination
Last Revised: 01/11/2018
To ensure timely and ongoing attention to programmatic vitality, all academic programs within the UMS will be examined annually for the (a) number of graduates being produced, (b) the number of undergraduate majors, and (c) the number of faculty available to the program. The Programs for Examination process is intended as a proactive mechanism by which to foster broader collaborative discussions among faculty and academic administrators regarding program size in the context of mission, quality, and sustainability.
- Programs for Examination Thresholds – Programs not meeting the thresholds listed below must be examined by the Chief Academic Officer (CAO) and other appropriate academic administrators, in collaboration with the faculty, the Chief Academic Officers Council (CAOC), and the UMS Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (VCAA):
– number of graduates per year:
– Undergraduate: average five graduates per year over three years
– Master's: average of three graduates per year over three years
– Doctorate: average of two graduates per year over three years
– number of undergraduate majors: 15 (as determined by the number of active majors at the end of each academic year)
– number of tenure-track or just-cause eligible faculty: 3 (as determined by the headcount of faculty at the end of each academic year)
- Programs for Examination Academic Year Timeline –
a. By August 1 of each year – UMS IR office will provide a dashboard summary of graduates, majors and faculty by campus for each program in the UMS program inventory, and will have identified for the CAOs those programs not meeting the above thresholds;
b. In November of each year – each CAO will notify the VCAA of the following items for discussion with the CAOC:
i. reason(s) of why any program need not be examined further because of meeting critical university needs, regardless of the Programs for Examination criteria;
ii. programs not meeting the Programs for Examination criteria for which more examination is needed; for those programs for which questions remain, the CAO will communicate to the appropriate academic unit(s) the need for further information, analysis, discussion, etc.;
iii. progress on actions to address concerns for programs identified in the previous year of the Programs for Examination process;
c. In March of each year –
i.For discussion with the CAOC, the VCAA will have provided a written summary of those programs identified by the Programs for Examination process, but determined to meeting critical university needs.
ii.the CAOC will engage in a discussion of action plan outlines developed by each CAO to address low numbers of graduates, majors and/or faculty for any remaining program(s) identified by the Programs for Examination process.
- Other Considerations: Simple measures of numbers of graduates, majors and faculty are clearly only a subset of variables that provide insight into a program's role and function. Thus, for programs not meeting the thresholds, other considerations for subsequent discussions include: SCH production, provision of service courses, centrality to institutional mission or strategic plan, societal or workforce need, relevance and access to underrepresented groups, program uniqueness, K-12 or community college pathways, research impact, accreditation, ratio of part-time to full-time instructors, certification pass rates or other assessment outcomes, instructional cost, etc.

Using Scale Item Barecodes
In many retail stores the use of scale items or better known as weighted items is a big part of the business.
In IQ Retail's IQ Enterprise or IQ Business integrated accounting package these items can be handled with ease. This post is to show how this can be set up in a few simple steps.
 1. Understanding the barecode
 -The first two digits in the barecode (20 in the example shown) is the scan code typeBacon
 -The next three, four or five digits is padding or space savers, normaly zeros to fill the space between the scan code and stock code (4 zeros in the example shown)
 -After the zeros is the stock code (9 in the example shown)
 -Then there is the Price Check Digit (0 in the example shown)
 -Price follows (2604 in the example shown)
 -The last digit is the overall check digit (7 in the example shown)
 2. Setting up your scan code type
 Now that you can read the scan code type from the barecode (first two digits), head over to Point of Sale – POS setup – Define ScancodesIn this set up screen make sure that your barecode printed from the scale matches the set up in the corresponding scan code type. If needed, add or remove item code "I" or price "P" indicators.Scancodes
 3. Creating your stock item code
 In the stock maintenance screen you can now add your item.
 The item code will consist of your scan code type, the padding zeros, plus your stock code. For the example the item code will be _PHONE_.
 Then make sure that you deselect "Disallow Decimals" and to select "Scale Item". In the price tab add the price per weight.StockItem
 4. Scan you barecode in POS
 Using a barecode scanner you can now scan your item in point of sale.


Biodegradable Capsule Turns Your Body into a Tree
Biodegradable Capsule Turns Your Body into a Tree
For many, what happens to you after death is not something you think about on a regular basis, but with current advances in technology, you might be surprised to learn that there are some interesting options. Besides normal burial or cremation, there are many less expensive or even less environmentally impactful alternatives. One Kickstarter project aims as turning your ashes into a living breathing tree so you can live on and continue making an impact. The Bios Incube biodegradable urn and partnering capsule automatically will grow a tree and water the plant through its internal sensors, check out the video below.
Biodegradable urns have been around for a while now, and this product is one that accompanies the already on the market Bios Urn. Essentially, it is a capsule filled with sensors that tracks the tree's growth and tailors its treatment to what the plant needs to thrive. Now, you may be wondering why you need to purchase a several thousand dollar machine that just grows a tree, but think about it, do you want to be the one that accidentally kills your passed on loved ones tree? This product allows those who have suffered loss to grow and remember their loved ones in a healthy and beneficial manner, all the while never having to worry about not having a green thumb.
To add another level to the plant growing capsule, it will even send you notifications if the location your tree is growing in is not ideal for its health. You may have never heard of this product, but over 60,000 bios urns have been sold to date, and the market for alternative burial methods is growing rapidly. The need then shifts not to more methods, but rather how to sustain such innovative burial techniques.
The goal, claims Bios, is to turn cemeteries into living breathing forests that represent the legacy those who have passed on leave to us still here on the earth. It is very beautiful to think about a tangible living plant that is grown from someone you have lost.
bios incube tree product[Image Source: Bios Incube]
With moisture, conductivity, and temperature sensors built in to the device, it will monitor just about every variable essential to growing a healthy thriving plant. If you really want to be turned into a tree, but are worried about dying suddenly and it never taking place, they have little device called the Bios seed. Essentially, it is a small storage device that lets you select what type of tree you would like to become, where you would like to be buried, and who gets to see this information. If for some reason you die, the company can facilitate growth and burial as well as supplying loved ones with all of the necessary furnishings for DIY growth.
bios incube tree death urn[Image Source: Bios Incube]
The engineering and creativity behind this innovative burial technique makes you think, "maybe I do want to become a tree." Thats the whole point, with the eco-friendly nature of a new tree and the tangible effects to loved ones, it seems that for many, being turned into a beautiful tree is their after life destiny.

Rohingya (Ruáingga) is a language spoken by the Rohingya people of Arakan (Rakhine), Burma (Myanmar). It is smiliar to the Chittagonian language spoken in the neighboring southeastern Chittagong Division of Bangladesh..
Various writing systems are used, including Arabic, Urdu, Hanifi-Script and Burmese, and the newer Rohingyalish, based on the Roman alphabet.
Written in Arabic script, the first Rohingya language texts are more than 300 years old. While Arakan was under British rule (1826–1948), the Rohingya people used mainly English and Urdu for written communication. Since independence in 1948, Burmese has been used in all official communications. Since the early 1960s, Rohingya scholars have started to realize the need for a writing system suited to their own language.
Molana Hanif and his colleagues developed a new set of right-to-left oriented characters based mainly on Arabic script, with a few borrowings from Roman and Burmese. This approach was an improvement and was appreciated by Rohingya Islamic scholars, used to studying in Arabic and Urdu. However, the new script was criticized because the characters were very similar to each other, requiring longer...

DESIGN FORDESIGN FORDEMOCRACY
Through the lens of architecture and built environtment
Open source cooperative platform and Open house archive are the collaborative, open-source platform bringing together public citizens to be aware of the relationship between democracy and built environment and its repercussions for citizenship,architectural practice and policy making.
Based on the literature reviews, experts and stakeholders interviews, two conceptual approaches (topdown)and (bottom-up) for design interventions were developed: Open Source participatory design, expand the whole lifespan of the built environment. Using two insights, a series of ideas were conceptualised and analysed for the systemic scope and implications. Open Source Cooperative Platform as a toolkit and Open House Archive as a concept with levels of systemic impact represent the two directions of implementation.

|Oracle® OLAP DML Reference
10g Release 1 (10.1)
Part Number B10339-02
The IF...THEN...ELSE command executes one or more commands in a program when a specified condition is met. Optionally, it also executes an alternative command or group of commands when the condition is not met. You can use IF only within programs.
You can also use IF as a conditional operator in an expression. See "IF as a Conditional Operator".
Any valid Boolean expression that returns either
Oracle OLAP executes the statement1 argument when the Boolean expression is
TRUE. The statement1 must be on the same line as THEN.
Oracle OLAP executes the statement2 argument when the Boolean expression is
FALSE. The statement2 must be on the same line as ELSE. When you omit the ELSE phrase, execution continues with the statement after the whole IF...THEN... command in the program.
You can use the IF command for conditional execution of two or more statements by following the THEN or ELSE (or both) keywords with a DO... DOEND sequence. See Example 14-13, "Using IF...THEN...ELSE".
When you use IF as a conditional operator in an expression, it has the following format. ELSE is required when IF is used as an operator.
IF boolean-exp THEN exp1 ELSE exp2
In most cases, exp1 and exp2 must be of the same basic data type (numeric, text, or Boolean). The value of the whole expression is the value of either exp1 or exp2.
However, when the data type of either exp1 or exp2 is DATE, it is possible for the other expression to have a numeric or text data type. Because Oracle OLAP expects both data types to be DATE, it will convert the numeric or text value to a DATE.
When IF is used as an expression, the THEN and ELSE keywords must be on the same line as IF. When used as a command, THEN and ELSE must be on separate lines.
Example 14-13 Using IF...THEN...ELSE
The following lines from a program illustrate the use of IF...THEN...ELSE.... When the Boolean expression
ANY(DOLLARS LT 200000) is
TRUE, the statements following THEN (
statement group 1) are executed. When the expression is
FALSE, the statements following ELSE (
statement group 2) are executed instead.
IF ANY(DOLLARS LT 200000) THEN DO... " (statement group 1) DOEND ELSE DO... "(statement group 2) DOEND
Example 14-14 Using IF as a Conditional Operator
In a program that produces a report, you would like to report a previous year's actual expenses or the current year's budget, depending on the year passed to the program as an argument. A conditional expression in a JOINCHARS function produces a heading with the word Actual or Budget. Another conditional expression selects the variable to report. The program would include the following lines.
ARGUMENT cur.year year LIMIT month TO year cur.year REPORT - HEADING JOINCHARS( 'Expenses:'- IF cur.year LT 'Yr95' - THEN 'Actual FOR'- ELSE 'Budget FOR ', - cur.year ) - IF cur.year LT 'Yr95' THEN actual ELSE budget

Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
A sudden statement (also known as an "excited utterance") made by someone who has seen a surprising, startling, or shocking event (such as an accident or a death), or has suffered an injury. For example, "Oh my God, that blue car hit the little girl!" Spontaneous exclamations are often introduced at trial as evidence of the speaker's state of mind or the truth of the matter being spoken about, and will be admitted if the judge decides that the circumstances surrounding the statement make it likely that the speaker was telling the truth. Without this determination, the statement is simply hearsay; that is, a statement made out of court and offered for the truth of the matter it deals with. (See also: hearsay

Definition of vigil in English:
- A mourner, fallen asleep in a late-night vigil, awakes the next morning to find that not only are his trousers missing, but the corpse has been stolen as well.
- But when I came and kept vigil in his armchair while he lay on his left ribs, his back rolled around him like an exoskeleton, all night I stared at his books neat in their shelves.
- In the old days families kept vigil and ate little 'Soul' cakes.
- N.O.W. was planning to hold a candlelight vigil outside the jail where Yates is being held.
- The local authorities' campaign headquarters plans to hold protest vigils outside the treasury every few days, each time representing two different municipalities.
- On March 27, about 200 teachers and students from the Wellington and Hutt Valley regions staged a protest vigil outside parliament.
- The Christmas pageant involving the children from Culleens and Kilglass N.S. will take place during the Gospel at the Christmas night vigil Mass in Kilglass Church.
- It is at pains to point out that much of the ceremony took place during the Christmas vigil and on the feast of the Nativity.
- The vigil Mass for Christmas will take place in Rathdowney Church on Christmas Eve at 9pm.
Vigil comes from Latin vigilia 'wakefulness', from vigil 'awake'. It was first used for the night before a religious festival, when people might stay wakeful all night in prayer. Related words include vigilant (Late Middle English); vigilance (late 16th century); and vigilante (mid 19th century) adopted from a Spanish word with the literal meaning 'vigilant'. Surveillance (early 19th century) is from the same root and is literally watching over something, also found when someone invigilates (mid 16th century) an exam.

DESIGN OF A NOVEL SAPPHIRE BASED DIELECTRIC RESONATOR TO MEASURE THE SURFACE RESISTANCE OF HIGH TEMP SUPER CONDUCTORS
A sapphire dielectric resonator system has been used to measure the surface resistance of high temperature superconductors. The cavity is made up of a lower superconducting plate, a dielectric puck and a movable upper plate where the sample is placed. The temperature of the lower plate is kept at 4.2 K while the sample is heated independently attached to the end of a sapphire rod. The measurements are performed at TE01d mode. By moving the upper plate, the shift in resonance frequency and the corresponding change in the bandwidth are recorded. The overall system is designed to fit into a continuous flow helium cryostat. Real part of the surface impedance of the sample is related to the change in bandwidth,?fb, and the imaginary part of the surface impedance is related to the change in resonant frequency,?f0. Instead of absolute calibration of the chamber, a known oxygen free copper sample was used as the reference. The samples were Seeded Melt Grown (SMG) solid material. The measured surface resistance of the SMG YBCO high Tc materials was comparable to that of the best thin HTS films grown by other techniques.

Birds are a species of villager in the Animal Crossing series. The term does not refer to any bird specifically, but these birds resemble typical passerines. There are only six females in this group, making this group predominantly male. There are 21 bird villagers so far, of which two are islanders, and three special characters.

How to type a bar over/under a letter in mhchem of LaTeX?
I use usepackage mhchem to write chemical equations in LaTeX, it works fine most of time. Today I encountered a problem, how to type a horizontal bar over (or under) a letter?
After some Googling work, here is my solution, combining the command mathrm and overline/underline. The command \underline (\overline) is placing a bar under (over) a letter, while mathrm is remove the italic style of the letter in the math environment.
E.g. to get an chemical equation as follows:
You can use the code below:
\ce{3 C4A\mathrm{\underline{S}}H12 + 2 C\mathrm{\underline{C}} + 18 H -> C6A$\mathrm{\underline{S}_3}$H32 + 2 C4A\mathrm{\underline{C}}H11}
\label{some label}
You are welcome to share your trick with me, thanks.

We analyze the collective behavior of a set of coupled damped driven pendula with finite (large) inertia, and show that the synchronization of the oscillators exhibits a first order phase transition synchronization onset, substantially different from the second order transition obtained in the case of no inertia. There is hysteresis between two macroscopic states, a weakly and a strongly coherent synchronized state, depending on the coupling and the initial state of the oscillators. A self-consistent theory is shown to determine these cooperative phenomena and to predict the observed numerical data in specific examples.

Load Factors in Steep Turns
At a constant altitude, during a coordinated turn in any aircraft, the load factor is the result of two forces: centrifugal force and weight. [Figure 5-52] For any given bank angle, the ROT varies with the airspeed—the higher the speed, the slower the ROT. This compensates for added centrifugal force, allowing the load factor to remain the same.
Figure 5-53 reveals an important fact about turns—the load factor increases at a terrific rate after a bank has reached 45° or 50°. The load factor for any aircraft in a coordinated level turn at 60° bank is 2 Gs. The load factor in an 80° bank is 5.76 Gs. The wing must produce lift equal to these load factors if altitude is to be maintained.
It should be noted how rapidly the line denoting load factor rises as it approaches the 90° bank line, which it never quite reaches because a 90° banked, constant altitude turn is not mathematically possible. An aircraft may be banked to 90° in a coordinated turn if not trying to hold altitude. An aircraft that can be held in a 90° banked slipping turn is capable of straight knife-edged flight. At slightly more than 80°, the load factor exceeds the limit of 6 Gs, the limit load factor of an acrobatic aircraft.
For a coordinated, constant altitude turn, the approximate maximum bank for the average general aviation aircraft is 60°. This bank and its resultant necessary power setting reach the limit of this type of aircraft. An additional 10° bank increases the load factor by approximately 1 G, bringing it close to the yield point established for these aircraft. [Figure 5-54]
Load Factors and Stalling Speeds
Any aircraft, within the limits of its structure, may be stalled at any airspeed. When a sufficiently high AOA is imposed, the smooth flow of air over an airfoil breaks up and separates, producing an abrupt change of flight characteristics and a sudden loss of lift, which results in a stall.
A study of this effect has revealed that an aircraft's stalling speed increases in proportion to the square root of the load factor. This means that an aircraft with a normal unaccelerated stalling speed of 50 knots can be stalled at 100 knots by inducing a load factor of 4 Gs. If it were possible for this aircraft to withstand a load factor of nine, it could be stalled at a speed of 150 knots. A pilot should be aware of the following:
- The danger of inadvertently stalling the aircraft by increasing the load factor, as in a steep turn or spiral;
- When intentionally stalling an aircraft above its design maneuvering speed, a tremendous load factor is imposed.
Figures 5-53 and 5-54 show that banking an aircraft greater than 72° in a steep turn produces a load factor of 3, and the stalling speed is increased significantly. If this turn is made in an aircraft with a normal unaccelerated stalling speed of 45 knots, the airspeed must be kept greater than 75 knots to prevent inducing a stall. A similar effect is experienced in a quick pull up or any maneuver producing load factors above 1 G. This sudden, unexpected loss of control, particularly in a steep turn or abrupt application of the back elevator control near the ground, has caused many accidents.
Since the load factor is squared as the stalling speed doubles, tremendous loads may be imposed on structures by stalling an aircraft at relatively high airspeeds.
The following information primarily applies to fixed-wing airplanes. The maximum speed at which an airplane may be stalled safely is now determined for all new designs. This speed is called the "design maneuvering speed" (VA), which is the speed below which you can move a single flight control, one time, to its full deflection, for one axis of airplane rotation only (pitch, roll or yaw), in smooth air, without risk of damage to the airplane. VA must be entered in the FAA-approved Airplane Flight Manual/ Pilot's Operating Handbook (AFM/POH) of all recently designed airplanes. For older general aviation airplanes, this speed is approximately 1.7 times the normal stalling speed. Thus, an older airplane that normally stalls at 60 knots must never be stalled at above 102 knots (60 knots × 1.7 = 102 knots). An airplane with a normal stalling speed of 60 knots stalled at 102 knots undergoes a load factor equal to the square of the increase in speed, or 2.89 Gs (1.7 × 1.7 = 2.89 Gs). (The above figures are approximations to be considered as a guide, and are not the exact answers to any set of problems. The design maneuvering speed should be determined from the particular airplane's operating limitations provided by the manufacturer.) Operating at or below design maneuvering speed does not provide structural protection against multiple full control inputs in one axis or full control inputs in more than one axis at the same time.
Since the leverage in the control system varies with different aircraft (some types employ "balanced" control surfaces while others do not), the pressure exerted by the pilot on the controls cannot be accepted as an index of the load factors produced in different aircraft. In most cases, load factors can be judged by the experienced pilot from the feel of seat pressure. Load factors can also be measured by an instrument called an "accelerometer," but this instrument is not common in general aviation training aircraft. The development of the ability to judge load factors from the feel of their effect on the body is important. A knowledge of these principles is essential to the development of the ability to estimate load factors.
A thorough knowledge of load factors induced by varying degrees of bank and the VA aids in the prevention of two of the most serious types of accidents:
- Stalls from steep turns or excessive maneuvering near the ground
- Structural failures during acrobatics or other violent maneuvers resulting from loss of control

Effects of aerobic exercise training on physical performance during myeloablative therapy
Carolyn Vachani, RN, MSN, AOCN
The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: June 23, 2008
The benefits of exercise for people undergoing cancer therapy have been shown in previous studies. These include improvements in lung and heart function, increased strength and improvements in fatigue levels. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of anaerobic exercise training on physical performance of patients with hematologic malignancies or solid tumors during myeloablative therapy or high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant.
The questions to be answered by the authors were:
1) Is exercise feasible in this group of patients?
2) What happens to physical performance in these patients if they do exercise?
The study included 85 participants undergoing high dose chemotherapy, who were randomly assigned to a 30 minute a day, 5 days a week exercise regimen or no exercise regimen. Both groups completed daily questionnaires on side effects and quality of life. Exercise was held when platelets or hemoglobin were low, for infection, fever or if the patient was in the ICU.
The primary endpoint was change in physical performance between the beginning and end of treatment, measured in Watts (W). There was a significant increase in physical performance in the exercise group (8.96 +/-24 W) and a decrease in the control group (-7.24 +/- 20 W). The exercise group had improvement in lung function and an increase in their physical functioning score. Patients tended to be fitter and feel better at discharge if they performed exercise.
The exercise regimen during myeloablative therapy appears to be achievable, effective, and safe, and may help to preserve physical function in these patients. Ultimately, this can reduce the risk for limitations and disabilities in patients later in life.

TCP/IP Configuration Manager
netmanager [-f file] [-p num] [-r [interface]] [-s] [-w [interface]]
The netmanager process is used to apply the TCP/IP configuration as described in the configuration file. It's usually run by phlip, or as part of the boot sequence to configure the TCP/IP parameters. You won't generally run netmanager directly; you should use the Photon phlip application to generate the configuration file.
|The netmanager is setuid root, so that it can query the interfaces and display any information. However, it doesn't apply changes unless the real user is root.|
The netmanager uses dhcp.client to support a DHCP configuration. Both phlip and netmanager are compatible with the full TCP/IP stack (npm-tcpip.so) and the tiny TCP/IP stack (npm-ttcpip.so).
Instead of using phlip and netmanager to set TCP/IP parameters, you can use route and ifconfig, for the full stack, and command-line options for the tiny stack. You can also run dhcp.client from the command line.
|Don't use both ways to configure your system.
When applying a configuration, parameters provided by a DHCP server are used before manually configured parameters. If you need to override a configuration parameter that's supplied by the DHCP server (e.g. gateway), use manual mode.
The netmanager uses the _CS_RESOLVE configuration string instead of /etc/resolv.conf, and passes options to dhcp.client and pppd.
If there's no configuration file present, DHCP is used on unconfigured interfaces.
The netmanager can set or get TCP/IP configuration parameters related to:
Write the information for all interfaces in a file:
netmanager -w all -f filename
If no filename is provided, the information is written in /etc/net.cfg.
/etc/autoconnect, dhcp.client, ifconfig, npm-tcpip.so, npm-ttcpip.so, phlip, /etc/resolv.conf, route, slogger.

Lua does not support classes the way that languages like C++, Java and ActionScript do. But Lua is a multi-paradigm language and have roots from prototype-based languages. In Lua, each object can define its own behaviour through metatables. Therefore, it is possible to emulate OO programming and classes in Lua.
(For the detailed discussion of object oriented programming in Lua, please refer to _URL_
Gideros follows the same paradigm in its API design. Each instance created by Gideros API is a Lua table with a metatable attached.
Instances in Gideros is created through
new function. For example, to create
Bitmap and a
local sprite = Sprite.new() local texture = Texture.new("image.png") local bitmap = Bitmap.new(texture) local timer = Timer.new(1000, 0)
Core.class function is used to create your own classes through inheritance. You
can create your own classes like:
MyClass = Core.class()
or inherit from Gideros API's own classes (
Sprite, etc.). For example, you can create your EventDispatcher class as:
MyEventDispatcher = Core.class(EventDispatcher)
By using Inheritance, you can design and implement the visual elements of your game separately:
StartButton = Core.class(Sprite) -- create your own start button class Menu = Core.class(Sprite) -- create your own menu class Player = Core.class(Sprite) -- create your own player class function Player:walk() -- walk logic end function Player:jump() -- jump logic end stage:addChild(Player.new()) -- create and add a player instance to the stage
When an instance is created,
init function is called to do the initialization:
Player = Core.class(Sprite) function Player:init() -- do the initialization of Player instance self.health = 100 self.speed = 3 end local player = Player.new() -- after Player instance is created, init function is called
Whether to use inheritance or not is related to your programming taste. It's possible to implement a whole game without creating custom classes. You can refer to "Jumping Ball" and "Jumping Balls" examples to see the difference between designing your code with classes or not.


text: Tracking primary radiation-induced processes in matter requires ultrafast sources and high precision timing. While compact laser-driven ion accelerators are seeding the development of novel high instantaneous flux applications, combining the ultrashort ion and laser pulse durations with their inherent synchronicity to trace the real-time evolution of initial damage events has yet to be realized. Here we report on the absolute measurement of proton bursts as short as 3.5±0.7 ps from laser solid target interactions for this purpose. Our results verify that laser-driven ion acceleration can deliver interaction times over a factor of hundred shorter than those of state-of-the-art accelerators optimized for high instantaneous flux. Furthermore, these observations draw ion interaction physics into the field of ultrafast science, opening the opportunity for quantitative comparison with both numerical modelling and the adjacent fields of ultrafast electron and photon interactions in matter.

Background. Although cancer has been considered as a chronic disease for those diagnosed, the long-term impact of cancer on the family caregivers' quality of life (QOL) remains unknown. Thus, the current study aimed: (a) to characterize family caregivers of cancer survivors, (b) to describe the multidimensional aspects of QOL of family caregivers of cancer survivors, and (c) to identify demographic and caregiving experience factors that may play significant roles in the caregivers' QOL around 5 years after the relative's initial diagnosis. Methods. A total of 1218 caregivers participated in the 5-year follow-up nationwide QOL Survey for Caregivers. Demographics and caregiving experiences were measured 2 years post-diagnosis of their relative's cancer. Multidimensional aspects of QOL were assessed, including mental and physical health, psychological adjustment, and spirituality at 5 years post-diagnosis. Results. Three groups of caregivers were identified: former caregivers due to the recipients being in remission, former caregivers whose recipients were deceased, and current caregivers. Current caregivers reported worst levels of QOL. Bereaved caregivers reported lower levels of psychological and spiritual adjustment than former caregivers whose recipients were in remission. In addition, caregivers' age and stress were consistent predictors of QOL across three caregiver groups at 5 years post-diagnosis. Conclusions. The findings help to increase evidence-based awareness of the long-term impact of cancer on the family caregivers' QOL. Findings also have implications for developing programs, whereby family caregivers in the various phases of caregivership will benefit by improving their QOL.

Grokbase Groups Pig user March 2009
Thanks for the response... unfortunately the output I get is:
(, 1, 1)
(w, 1, 1)
(x, 3, 3) <--- $2 should be a '2' not a '3'.
(y, 1, 1)
(z, 1, 1)
Desired results:
x,3,2 <--- $2 should be a '2' and not a '3' because the values for 'x' are (a,b,b) and so there are only 2 distinct values.
I was able to get the output of (x,3,3) via another way
A = load 'test.csv' using PigStorage(',') as (a1,a2,a3);
B = group A by $0;
C = distinct B;
D = foreach C generate group, COUNT(A.a2), COUNT(A.a3);
...but to make it work as a distinct count I would like to achieve (x,3,2) not (x,3,3).
Would I need to write a UDF called COUNT_DISTINCT based mostly on the COUNT function? If so how?
Would replacing...
public void exec(Tuple input, DataAtom output) throws IOException {
output.setValue(count(input)); <--- I suppose this should return a count of hash keys or something???
} sufficient?
Thanks in advance,

I am trying to do a classification exercise on email docs (strings containing words).
I defined the distance function as following:
def distance(wordset1, wordset2):
if len(wordset1) < len(wordset2):
return len(wordset2) - len(wordset1)
elif len(wordset1) > len(wordset2):
return len(wordset1) - len(wordset2)
elif len(wordset1) == len(wordset2):
You didn't mention the type of
wordset2. I'll assume they are both
You defined your distance as the word counting and got a bad score. It's obvious text length is not a good dissimilarity measure: two emails with different sizes can talk about the same thing, while two emails of same size be talking about completely different things.
So, as suggested above, you could try and check for SIMILAR WORDS instead:
import numpy as np def distance(wordset1, wordset2): wordset1 = set(wordset1.split()) wordset2 = set(wordset2.split()) common_words = wordset1 & wordset2 if common_words: return 1 / len(common_words) else: # They don't share any word. They are infinitely different. return np.inf
The problem with that is that two big emails are more likely to share words than two small ones, and this metric would favor those, making them "more similar to each other" in comparison to the small ones. How do we solve this? Well, we normalize the metric somehow:
import numpy as np def distance(wordset1, wordset2): wordset1 = set(wordset1.split()) wordset2 = set(wordset2.split()) common_words = wordset1 & wordset2 if common_words: # The distance, normalized by the total # number of different words in the emails. return 1 / len(common_words) / (len(wordset1 | wordset2)) else: # They don't share any word. They are infinitely different. return np.inf
This seems cool, but completely ignores the FREQUENCY of the words. To account for this, we can use the Bag-of-words model. That is, create a list of all possible words and histogram their appearance in each document. Let's use CountVectorizer implementation from scikit-learn to make our job eaiser:
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import CountVectorizer def distance(wordset1, wordset2): model = CountVectorizer() X = model.fit_transform([wordset1, wordset2]).toarray() # uses Euclidean distance between bags. return np.linalg.norm(X - X)
But now consider two pairs of emails. The emails in the first pair are composed by perfectly written English, full of "small" words (e.g.
that) necessary for it to be grammatically correct. The emails in the second pair are different: only containing the keywords, it's extremely dry. You see, chances are the first pair will be more similar than the second one. That happens because we are currently accounting for all words the same, while we should be prioritizing the MEANINGFUL words in each text. To do that, let's use term frequency–inverse document frequency. Luckly, there's a very similar implementation in scikit-learn:
from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer def distance(wordset1, wordset2): model = TfidfVectorizer() X = model.fit_transform([wordset1, wordset2]).toarray() similarity_matrix = X.dot(X.T) # The dissimilarity between samples wordset1 and wordset2. return 1-similarity_matrix[0, 1]
Read more about this in this question. Also, duplicate?
You should now have a fairly good accuracy. Try it out. If it's still not as good as you want, then we have to go deeper... (get it? Because... Deep-learning). The first thing is that we need either a dataset to train over or an already trained model. That's required because networks have many parameters that MUST be adjusted in order to provide useful transformations.
What's been missing so far is UNDERSTANDING. We histogrammed the words, striping them from any context or meaning. Instead, let's keep them where they are and try to recognize blocks of patterns. How can this be done?
Let's use Keras to simply our lives. It should look something like this:
#... imports and params definitions model = Sequential([ Embedding(max_features, embedding_dims, input_length=maxlen, dropout=0.2), Convolution1D(nb_filter=nb_filter, filter_length=filter_length, border_mode='valid', activation='relu', subsample_length=1), MaxPooling1D(pool_length=model.output_shape), Flatten(), Dense(256, activation='relu'), ]) #... train or load model weights. def distance(wordset1, wordset2): global model # X =... # Embed both emails. X = sequence.pad_sequences(X, maxlen=maxlen) y = model.predict(X) # Euclidean distance between emails. return np.linalg.norm(y-y)
There's a practical example on sentence processing which you can check Keras github repo. Also, someone solves this exact same problem using a siamese recurrent network in this stackoverflow question.
Well, I hope this gives you some direction. :-)
