Limitations and Known Issues within MariaDB MaxScale
Limitations and Known Issues within MariaDB MaxScale
This document lists known issues and limitations in MariaDB MaxScale and its plugins. Since limitations are related to specific plugins, this document is divided into several sections.
Configuration limitations
In versions 2.1.2 and earlier, the configuration files are limited to 1024 characters per line. This limitation was increased to 16384 characters in MaxScale 2.1.3. MaxScale 2.3.0 increased this limit to _PHONE_ characters.
In versions 2.2.12 and earlier, the section names in the configuration files were limited to 49 characters. This limitation was increased to 1023 characters in MaxScale 2.2.13.
Multiple MaxScales on same server
Starting with MaxScale 2.4.0, on systems with Linux kernels 3.9 or newer due to the addition of SO_REUSEPORT support, it is possible for multiple MaxScale instances to listen on the same network port if the directories used by both instances are completely separate and there are no conflicts which can cause unexpected splitting of connections. This will only happen if users explicitly tell MaxScale to ignore the default directories and will not happen in normal use.
Security limitiations
MariaDB 10.2
The parser of MaxScale correctly parses WITH statements, but fails to collect columns, functions and tables used in the SELECT defining the WITH clause.
Consequently, the database firewall will not block WITH statements where the SELECT of the WITH clause refers to forbidden columns.
Query Classification
Follow the MXS-1350 Jira issue to track the progress on this limitation.
XA transactions are not detected as transactions by MaxScale. This means that all XA commands will be treated as unknown commands and will be treated as operations that potentially modify the database (in the case of readwritesplit, the statements are routed to the master).
MaxScale will not track the XA transaction state which means that any SELECT queries done inside an XA transaction can be routed to servers that are not part of the XA transaction.
This limitation can be avoided on the client side by disabling autocommit before any XA transactions are done. The following example shows how a simple XA transaction is done via MaxScale by disabling autocommit for the duration of the XA transaction.
SET autocommit=0;
SET autocommit=1;
Prepared Statements
For its proper functioning, MaxScale needs in general to be aware of the transaction state and autocommit mode. In order to be that, MaxScale parses statements going through it.
However, if a transaction is commited or rolled back, or the autocommit mode is changed using a prepared statement, MaxScale will miss that and its internal state will be incorrect, until the transaction state or autocommit mode is changed using an explicit statement.
For instance, after the following sequence of commands, MaxScale will still think autocommit is on:
set autocommit=1
PREPARE hide_autocommit FROM "set autocommit=0"
EXECUTE hide_autocommit
To ensure that MaxScale functions properly, do not commit or rollback a transaction or change the autocommit mode using a prepared statement.
Protocol limitations
Limitations with MySQL/MariaDB Protocol support (MariaDBClient)
 - Compression is not included in the server handshake.
 - MariaDB MaxScale does not support KILL QUERY ID type statements. If a query by a query ID is to be killed, it needs to be done directly on the backend databases.
 - The KILL commands are executed asynchronously and the results are ignored. Due to this, they will always appear to succeed even if the user is lacking the permissions.
Authenticator limitations
Limitations in the GSSAPI authenticator
Currently, MariaDB MaxScale only supports GSSAPI authentication when the backend connections use GSSAPI authentication. Client side GSSAPI authentication with a different backend authentication module is not supported.
Limitations in the MySQL authenticator (MySQLAuth)
 - MySQL old style passwords are not supported. MySQL versions 4.1 and newer use a new authentication protocol which does not support pre-4.1 style passwords.
 - When users have different passwords based on the host from which they connect MariaDB MaxScale is unable to determine which password it should use to connect to the backend database. This results in failed connections and unusable usernames in MariaDB MaxScale.
 - Only a subset of netmasks are supported for the Host-column in the mysql.user-table (and related tables). Specifically, if the Host is of the form base_ip/netmask, then the netmask must only contain the numbers 0 or 255. For example, a netmask of is fine while is not.
Filter limitations
Database Firewall limitations (dbfwfilter)
The Database Firewall filter does not support multi-statements. Using them will result in an error being sent to the client.
Tee filter limitations (tee)
The Tee filter does not support binary protocol prepared statements. The execution of a prepared statements through a service that uses the tee filter is not guaranteed to succeed on the service where the filter branches to as it does on the original service.
This possibility exists due to the fact that the binary protocol prepared statements are identified by a server-generated ID. The ID sent to the client from the main service is not guaranteed to be the same that is sent by the branch service.
Monitor limitations
A server can only be monitored by one monitor. Two or more monitors monitoring the same server is considered an error.
Limitations with Galera Cluster Monitoring (galeramon)
The default master selection is based only on MIN(wsrep_local_index). This can be influenced with the server priority mechanic described in the Galera Monitor manual.
Router limitations
Refer to individual router documentation for a list of their limitations.

Not at home? Alexa can greet visitors for you on your Ring doorbell
The benefits of a smart video doorbell are numerous and obvious. When you aren't home, you can still respond to visitors and provide instructions for deliveries. The downside is that you have to be near your phone and not currently busy in order to respond to visitors, so what happens when you're in the middle of an important conversation or driving? Thanks to a new feature called Smart Responses, Alexa can greet visitors for you. Alexa's reach continues to grow beyond just being a voice for Amazon Echo smart speakers and displays.
There are three main Smart Responses: Quick Replies, Alexa Greetings, and Motion Warnings. It's worth pointing out that Alexa Greetings is the only smart response that is Alexa powered.
Quick Replies is a solution for those times when someone shows up at your door and you can't — or you just don't want to — answer. When someone comes to the door, you can choose from six preset responses, including "Please leave the package outside," "Hi, we'll be right there!" or "If you'd like to leave a message, you can do so now." This feature has already begun to roll out and will be available on Ring Video Doorbell models, with the exception of the Ring Video Doorbell Wired.
Alexa greetings turn your doorbell into a sort of smart concierge. It can greet visitors for you and provide contextual responses based on their answer. For example, Alexa might ask if a visitor wants to leave a message or what the purpose of their visit is. If the response includes the word "package," Alexa can ask if the packages require a signature and inform the delivery person where to drop the packages. It's a useful tool for when you're away from home but you still want to leave information for visitors.
One of the Smart Responses, Motion Warnings, acts as a deterrent to anyone with less than honorable intentions. As soon as the doorbell detects motion, it chimes in with the message: "Warning, you are now being monitored and recorded by Ring." It functions in much the same way as a yard sign for a security system. If a potential burglar knows they are being watched, they're more likely to leave.
These new Smart Responses make the Ring lineup of doorbells even more useful, all while adding another layer of intelligence to Alexa's capabilities.

[ODE] Destroying Body before Geom
cwosborn at nps.edu
Wed Oct 19 18:45:17 MST 2005
How does one correctly destroy a body before the geom associated with
it? I have a base class with a dGeomID and a derived class with a
dBodyID. Since the derived classes destructor is called first,
dBodyDestroy is called before dGeomDestroy.
This results in a access violation in collision_kernel.cpp:
dxGeom *dGeomGetBodyNext (dxGeom *geom)
return geom->body_next; //right here, where geom is a bad pointer
I've tried calling dGeomSetBody(mGeomID, 0) prior to dBodyDestory,
hoping to decouple the two. But then it dies in dxGeom::bodyRemove().

How to Replace a Belt Tensioner on a 1998 Chevy Cavalier
by Grace Mclain
itstillruns article image
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
The belt tensioner on the 1998 Chevy Cavalier is a spring loaded component with a pulley attached to one end. The belt tensioner keeps the proper amount of tension on the belt while the engine is running. The tensioner moves up and down with the movement of the belt as the belt travels around each accessory pulley. Replace the tensioner if the spring inside of the tensioner arm becomes weak or if it breaks.
Step 1
Open the hood on the 1998 Chevy Cavalier and locate the spring loaded belt tensioner. It's on the front passenger side of the engine or in the front center of the engine. Use the bolt head in the middle of the tensioner pulley to loosen the tension off of the belt.
Step 2
Rotate the tensioner pulley clockwise with the ratchet and socket. Then, pull the belt out from under the tensioner pulley. Hang the belt to the front of the engine with a bungee strap to keep it from falling out of the other accessory pulleys.
Step 3
Locate the bolt head that in the center of the spring loaded section of the tensioner. Loosen and remove the bolt with the ratchet and a socket by turning the bolt counter-clockwise. Pull the tensioner straight off of the front of the engine and place it to the side. If the tensioner is stuck, slide a flathead screwdriver behind the tensioner and pry outward until the tensioner comes off of the front of the engine.
Step 4
Position the new tensioner to the front of the engine. Screw the bolt back into the center of the spring loaded arm and tighten down tight with the ratchet and socket.
Step 5
Remove the bungee strap from the belt. Then, turn the new tensioner pulley clockwise to make room for the belt. Slide the belt under the new tensioner pulley and release the tensioner. As the new tensioner retracts it will tighten the belt to the proper tension.
Inspect the belt to make sure it's still seated inside all of the pulleys. Then, crank the engine and let it run for 15 seconds. Watch the tensioner as the engine is running to ensure it's working properly. Turn the engine off and close the hood.

The effect of wind speed fluctuations on the performance of a wind-powered membrane system for brackish water desalination
Park, Gavin L.
Richards, Bryce S.
MetadataShow full item record
A wind-powered reverse osmosis membrane (wind-membrane) system without energy storage was tested using synthetic brackish water (2750 and 5500 mg/L NaCl) over a range of simulated wind speeds under both steady-state and fluctuating conditions. The parameters varied were: i) average wind speed from 3.7 (system start-up) to 8.7 m/s; ii) wind turbulence intensity from 0.0 (steady-state conditions) to 0.6 (extreme fluctuations); and iii) period of oscillation from 15 to 90 s. With a feed water of 2750 mg/L NaCl, the wind-membrane system produced good-quality permeate (<600 mg/L) over the full range of wind speeds and fluctuations. The system performance (in terms of permeate flux and NaCl concentration) at average wind speeds of 7.0 m/s or more was unaffected by fluctuations up to a turbulence intensity of 0.4 and was independent of the period of fluctuation within this operating range. With a feed water of 5500 mg/L NaCl an average wind speed of 7.0 m/s or more was required to produce adequate-quality permeate (<1000 mg/L) under fluctuating conditions. It is concluded that this wind-membrane system can be operated within a safe operating window with large power fluctuations, but further control strategies are required to deal with intermittent operation, especially with higher salinity feed waters.


Red Yeast Information | Evidenced-Based Supplement Guide on MedicineNet.com - How does Red Yeast work?
Red Yeast
How does Red Yeast work?
Red yeast supplements are manufactured by culturing Monascus purpureus yeast on rice at carefully controlled temperature and growing conditions to increase the concentrations of chemicals that lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides. These chemicals are similar to the prescription drugs known as "statins," including lovastatin (Mevacor) and others.
Are there safety concerns?
Red yeast rice might be safe when taken by mouth for up to 3 months. There isn't enough information to know if taking it for longer periods is safe. It can cause stomach discomfort, heartburn, intestinal gas, and dizziness.
Red yeast rice often contains chemicals similar to the prescription drugs called "statins." Therefore, red yeast can cause side effects similar to statin drugs such as liver damage and severe muscle pain and muscle damage. Red yeast rice should not be used without the supervision of a health care provider.
Do not take red yeast if:

Parenting culture is the latest hot export from Scandinavia. But what exactly do parents in Europe's far north do differently?
By Linda Åkeson McGurk
November 10, 2017
Mother and son walking in the snow
Credit: Aliyev Alexei Sergeevich/Getty Images
From minimalist design and catchy pop music, to the elusive concept of hygge, people everywhere are swooning over Scandinavian culture. The latest up-and-coming export from Europe's far north? Parenting. And with good reason. When U.S. News ranked the best countries to raise a child in 2017, Sweden came in on top, followed by Norway and Denmark in second and third place. Their strong economies in combination with the most generous parental leave policies in the world naturally help the Scandinavian countries consistently score high in these types of reports. But there's more to the Scandinavian parenting culture than that. Here are five parenting lessons you can learn from Scandinavian moms and dads:
1. There's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes
2. Embrace the wild in the child
While wild and dirty kids are often frowned upon in other cultures, digging in the dirt and stomping around in the mud are par for the course for children in Scandinavia. In fact, parents even encourage and cherish messy play, since it's considered an essential part of a good childhood. It can be a boon to children's health, too. Letting them dig in dirt exposes them to healthy bacteria, which in turn can help build a strong immune system, improve gut health, and reduce the risk of asthma and allergies. Some bacteria are even known to trigger the brain's production of the "feel-good" neurotransmitter serotonin. With that in mind, running your washing machine a little more often seems like a small trade-off!
3. Forget the flashcards
Scandinavian parents mainly expect one thing from their children in the early years: that they spend as much time as possible playing. And they have plenty of time for it, since formal schooling doesn't start until age six or seven. Most parents and preschool teachers agree that children will learn what they need to learn when they're ready for it and there is no pressure to teach children how to read and write early. They may be on to something, since research has shown that by age 11, there is no significant difference between children who learn to read at age five and those who learn at age seven. The kicker? Those who learn later have better text comprehension and a more positive attitude toward reading.
4. Freedom fosters responsibility
Busy extra-curricular schedules and a fear of (in no particular order) lawsuits, strangers, nature, traffic, and a surprise visit from Child Protective Services are keeping many American kids under virtual house arrest. Not so much in Scandinavia, where even young children are given the freedom to climb trees, use real tools, play with fire, and walk to the neighborhood playground on their own. By the time they're nine or 10, they're typically expected to get to their after-school activities on their own—by foot, bike, or by using public transit. This, Scandinavian parents believe, helps them learn how to judge risk, make sound decisions, and be responsible, and research suggests that they're right.
5. It's all about the friluftsliv
There's no doubt Scandinavian kids love their TV shows and electronic devices. But young children don't spend nearly as much time in front of screens as their American counterparts, and their parents have a powerful trick to get them to unplug: friluftsliv. Roughly translated to "open-air living," friluftsliv can be described as a way of life that revolves around appreciating and spending time in nature. But you don't have to live in pristine countryside to enjoy friluftsliv—it's all about appreciating nature in everyday life, and walking around the neighborhood or grilling hot dogs in a local park counts, too. In addition to helping parents balance screen time with green time, friluftsliv is a powerful way for children to learn about their role in the natural world, and how to become good stewards of the land. And ultimately, that's probably the most important lesson of them all.

1. Beef Stock
If using beef is not a problem for you then you can switch between beef broth and beef stock. Both of these ingredients taste almost the same, however, the difference is majorly in the extracting materials. The difference between beef-broth and beef-stock is, beef broth is made from an extract that is taken out of both meat and bones attached to that meat.
While the beef stock is made with vegetables and beef bones. Most people, in case of running out of beef broth, use beef stock because it is the best replacement for beef broth in any recipe.
2. Bouillon Cubes
Bouillon cubes are also beef extracts but in a different state. Beef broth exists in a liquid form and bouillon cubes are found as a dried extract in cubes form. You can use bouillon cubes by dissolving them in cups of water, and it can replace a cup of beef broth in any recipe if one cube is dissolved in one cup of water.
These cubes of beef bouillon are concentrated to give an enhanced taste when they are dissolved in water.
However, if you are trying to maintain a pure vegan meal, then you can use Vegetable Broth, which tastes a little bit different however it's a great vegan replacement for beef broth.
Hopefully, this blog helped you in making an Au Jus recipe without the use of beef broth.

2 Answers 2
Here is an example function that will work with the example 1-simple.html example..
To Add a Row at the top:
 function addRow(){
 var newRow = {title: "new Title", duration: "1 day"};
 var rowData = grid.getData();
 rowData.splice(0, 0, newRow);
 grid.scrollRowIntoView(0, false);
To Delete row, it is the same idea. Get the grid data collection/ slice the array to get the data out of you want to delete and then call setData and render...
share|improve this answer
Sometimes Splice doesn't work. Try the code below:
DataView.insertItem(insertBefore, item) ///Here insertBefore can be 0
function addRow() {
 var newRow = columns,
 newId = dataView.getLength();
 newRow.id = newId + 1;
 dataView.insertItem(0, newRow);
and then you can call this function on button click. This really works. I have tried it myself.

The Environmental Interpretation Centre is located on the shores of the Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo on São Jorge Island on the Azores archipelago of Portugal. The islands are very remote and located smack dab in the middle of the Atlantic and not particularly well-known, but are quite beautiful. The government is trying to increase tourism and education of their parks and the Centre is one of their projects to aid that effort. The Centre will help provide information on the area, serve as an education center on the local environment, support architectural heritage and serve as a center to further study the local flora and fauna.
Design work began on the Environmental Interpretation Centre in 2007 with construction starting in 2009. The original property features a one story stone building, which was used as the foundation for the reconstruction. This building was faithfully restored using the original plans, but adding a second story and then an additional building behind it. The main building serves as the education center and the building behind is a temporary apartment for visiting researchers. Thick stone walls act as thermal mass to slow the transfer of heat and keep the interior comfortable. Deep window wells provide natural light but minimize heat gain. In the future a campsite will be created and the Interpretation Centre will serve as its headquarters.

How Much Should A Guinea Pig Weigh?
Share on facebook
Share on google
Share on twitter
Guinea pigs can live long lives – even up to 9 years. With proper care, many guinea pig owners are able to extend their pets' lives – going beyond their normal lifespan. But properly caring for a guinea pig has its own challenges, especially when it comes to the critter's health.
A healthy guinea pig would be distinguishable when you look closely at its eyes, nose, fur, and bottom part.
One of the most obvious determinants of health would be the guinea pig's own weight. An increase or decrease in weight says a lot about a guinea pig's condition. With this being said, exactly how much should a guinea pig weigh?
animal weight balanca
Why It Matters?
Because they are prey animals, guinea pigs have become adept at hiding what they're feeling so as not to show any signs of weakness that their predators would surely take advantage of. This would include whatever pain and weakness that they may feel. While guinea pigs have already come far from their wild origins, they have kept this trait even through their domestication.
Their ability to mask their emotions makes it difficult to assess the true conditions of guinea pigs. Thankfully, their appearance isn't something they can easily hide, especially their weight. Monitoring their weight could help you prevent your pet from becoming overweight or underweight.
Changes in weight could become dangerous for guinea pigs. Here's why:
When a guinea pig becomes overweight, or worse, obese, it can damage its overall health. This is because guinea pigs' bones aren't designed to handle too much weight. Not only that, the added weight makes them highly susceptible to arthritis, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
This could ultimately shorten the guinea pigs' lifespan. Since guinea pigs are naturally carnivores and eat little fat, becoming overweight is quite uncommon for their kind. If you have an overweight or obese guinea pig, you can get it into a reducing diet.
If a guinea pig becomes underweight despite giving it a well-balanced diet, you should take it immediately to a veterinarian because chances are, parasites have infested its body or it is suffering from a genetic disease.

Ideal Guinea Pig Weight
Guinea pigs can grow from 8 to 11 inches long and their weight should always be relative to their size.
While the ideal weight of a guinea pig can best be determined by its size, males should weigh around 900 to 1200 grams or 1.98 to 2.65 pounds. The average guinea pig weight for females, on the other hand, is around 700 to 900 grams or 1.54 to 1.98 pounds.
Guinea pig weight can be affected by several factors including sex, breed, and even litter size wherein the bigger the litter, the lighter the pups. When they are born, expect guinea pig pups to be somewhere between 60 and 120 grams. Usually, the smallest pup in the litter should be given close monitoring because it is the most at risk of not surviving.
As they grow up, you may notice them gaining weight at an incredible rate – about 30 to 50 grams per week. However, as they reach maturity, you would find the weight gain slowing down or halting. When they fully mature, males (boars) are often 20 to 25 percent bigger than females (sows).
Monitoring Guinea Pig Weight
Constantly keeping track of your guinea pig's weight is important because conditions like malocclusion, bloat, anorexia, and digestive problems are all too common with these animals. Using a digital weighing scale, monitor your guinea pig's weight at least once a week.
Placing the guinea pig in a bowl during the weighing process can help if your pet is moving a lot. Just don't forget to subtract the weight of the bowl so you don't get inaccurate readings.
If you think your guinea pig isn't feeling too well or is not eating normally, keep track of the critter's weight twice a day.
Sizing Guinea Pigs
Sizing your guinea pigs is a good way to make sure your pet is in an ideal weight. Typical guinea pig sizes would include: very thin, thin, normal, overweight, and obese.
 - Very Thin
One of the defining characteristics of a very thin guinea pig is their prominent ribs. Each rib could be felt easily along with the spine and the hips. Since they are very prominent and visible, even with the slightest touch, you'd be able to feel them.
Furthermore, the spine would appear hunched and there is also a visible under-abdominal curve. A very thin guinea pig would be 20 percent below the ideal body weight.
If your pet falls under this category, there is no doubt that it is underweight. Consult your veterinarian to find out any underlying medical causes as to why the guinea pig is underweight. If your pet is deemed unhealthy, the vet may advise a dietary and lifestyle change for your guinea pig.
 - Thin
Unlike the first size category, thin guinea pigs do not have prominent rib cages, spine or hips. However, if you touch them, they will be easily felt. There will still be an abdominal curve but it would be less than that of a very thin guinea pig.
If your pet is thin, there is a chance that it naturally has a lean physique or it is underweight. Just to be sure you can consult with your veterinarian about your pet's size. Usually, guinea pigs of this category weigh around 10 to 20 percent below the average.
 - Normal
This is the ideal guinea pig size. When your pet is of a normal or ideal size, there will be no prominent rib cage, hips or spine. The ribs couldn't be felt individually but the same cannot be said with the hips and spine. There won't be an abdominal curve and the chest would be narrower than the bottom area.
If your pet is of a normal body size, it can help extend the guinea pig's lifespan. However, you also bear the responsibility of maintaining this body size. To do that, you would need to closely monitor the guinea pig's weight and make sure it eats a stable healthy diet.
 - Overweight
When a guinea pig is overweight, it is usually 10 to 15 percent above the ideal weight. Since there is more weight, the ribs would be more difficult to locate while the hips and spine would not be easily felt. Furthermore, you may notice that an overweight guinea pig's feet will not always be visible.
An overweight guinea pig is at risk of having a shorter life along with medical conditions like heart disease, arthritis, and high blood pressure among others.
Just like with underweight guinea pigs, you may need to consult with a vet in order to determine the cause of your pet's excessive weight. This is usually caused by an unhealthy lifestyle but there is also a possibility that your guinea pig is suffering from a medical condition.
The vet would guide you on how to proceed with reducing the weight of your pet guinea pig.
 - Obese
The heaviest of body types, guinea pigs suffering from obesity are often 15 to 20 percent above the ideal weight. Obese cavies have ribs, hips, and spines that are unable to be felt unless dealt with pressure which may harm your pet. The body shape is also not distinguishable and its belly may be touching the floor causing the feet not to be seen.
Obesity is a dangerous condition and makes the guinea pig highly susceptible to numerous health complications. This is why you should seek professional help immediately if you don't want to lose your pet prematurely.
Domesticated guinea pigs rely on their owners to survive and the lifestyle they build is mainly influenced by the decisions their pet parents make for them. Because of this, you would need to be responsible for raising your pet. To do this, you have to set a proper diet for them that would include all the food they need to meet their nutritional requirements and making sure that you do not overfeed or underfeed them.
You even need to play a big role in their physical activities; providing them with opportunities to stay active. Furthermore, it would be your job to monitor their health. If you notice any fluctuations in your pet's weight, you have to find out their causes or take the animal to the vet to help you out.
Guinea pigs live fairly long lives but only if you raise them right.

Path length can mean one of several related concepts:
In physics, there are two definitions for "path length." The first is defined as the total distance an object travels. Unlike displacement, which is the total distance an object travels from a starting point, path length is the total distance travelled, regardless of where it travelled. The second is synonymous with wavelength and is used in calculating constructive and destructive interference of waves.
In chemistry, the path length is defined as the distance that light (UV/VIS) travels through a sample in an analytical cell. Typically, a sample cell is made of quartz, glass, or a plastic rhombic cuvette with a volume typically ranging from 0.1 mL to 10 mL or larger used in a spectrophotometer. For the purposes of spectrophotometry (i.e. when making calculations using the Beer-Lambert law) the path length is measured in centimeters (rather than in meters).
In a computer network, the path length is one of many possible router metrics used by a router to help determine the best route among multiple routes to a destination. It consists of the end-to-end hop count from a source to a destination over the network.
More simply, in general computer terminology, it can mean simply the total number of instructions executed from point A to point B in a program - Instruction path length.


ComEd Owned Street Light Audit
Like a lot of communities around Chicago, The Village of Glencoe has a small collection of street lights that they own and maintain. The rest of the lights are owned and maintained by ComEd, and The Village is then billed for their usage. ComEd provides The Village of Glencoe with a list of all the lights in its database that are within Glencoe's village limits. The Public Works department asked the GIS Department to see if all the lights could be mapped out and then analyzed to make sure that The Village was being billed correctly and that ComEd had the right information for each street light that they owned.
The GIS Department began using a combination of address information, aerial imagery, and Google Streetview to find the locations of each street light provided by ComEd. First, the street light locations were mapped against the Village's address and street range databases placing them in the general vicinity. Then by using a combination of aerial imagery and Google Streetview, the locations of each light were narrowed down. Any street lights in the ComEd database that can't be mapped will be then marked in the database and the Village will have to have discussions with ComEd to figure out the discrepancy. When the street light mapping is completed, The Village of Glencoe will then be assured that they are being billed correctly for their street light usage and that their own street light database is up-to-date.

The tobacco plants are harvested for cigars two to three times yearly at Tabacalera Esteli. It takes about 80 to 90 days for a tobacco plant to fully develop from a small seed into tall plants ready for picking. The tobacco fields are planted with seedlings a few weeks apart so that the harvest is spread out throughout several months. This allows for careful and precise supervision of the crop and the subsequent hand selecting and picking of the leaves.
Every step is carefully supervised to make sure that the tobacco plants grow healthy.

Demonstrate Empathy. Safeguard Loyalty.
Today, patients have many options for medical care, which is why making sure they are happy with their experience is critical in maintaining their loyalty. The patient billing process plays a critical role in that overall experience—and therefore should be monitored and evaluated to ensure your patients are receiving a positive result.
Apex offers a quick, easy to use survey that gives the feedback providers need to ensure a pleasant after-care experience. The feedback gained from our survey highlights positive attributes in the patient billing experience, and helps identify issues so action can be taken.
Patients Who Interact with Apex Report an Unmatched 95% Satisfaction
But we don't just sit around and pat ourselves on the back for that number. We're continuously analyzing the feedback of patients who aren't 100% satisified to understand what we can do to improve their experience. We look at feedback based on payment channel, balance due, demographics and other characteristics to truly help us understand where improvements are needed for specific patient populations. Continuously asking patients for their feedback is an essential step in tailoring the billing experience for all, and inspires ideas for future solution enhancements:
- Improve the billing process

Electrical Firing System - Firing Cables
Firing Cables
The type of firing cable used depends primarily on how many conductors is needed. Generally, 16 or 50 conductor cables are used, being this is the most common type of firing system configuration. Some systems are designed with a specific male/female polarity (i.e. one type solely used at firing system end and one type used at field module end) and some use the same sex connector for both ends. The specific polarity design usually used to imply the "direction" of the firing current and/or data signal (computerized system only); however, this is unnecessary in an analog (non-computerized) firing system, where there is not necessarily an "input" and "output" of the field module. In other words, you don't have to worry about which end of the cable goes where in an analog system which uses the same sex connector on both the slave and firing control module, ultimately saving you time during setup. In addition, firing cables can have a separate ground line secured to them for systems which are not internally grounded. See pictures below.

Liko Vest for StandingShell is intended for raising patients who are practicing to stand with the aid of a standing shell.
A standing shell is much appreciated as an aid for disabled children and youths. However, applying the standing shell manually and raising the child in it can be very strenuous for the caregiver. But with the right lifting aids, these problems can be avoided.
We recommend the use of a lift and sling, for example SilhouetteSling, for lifting the child to the standing shell. For convenient access when it is time to lift the child out of the shell, SilhouetteSling is left inside the shell while the child is standing.
Vest for StandingShell is used during the actual raising operation and is placed outside the standing shell when the child is lying down, then connected to a patient lift. We recommend one of Liko's overhead lifts or the mobile lift Golvo. The raising is accomplished securely and controlled by patient lift.
Before lifting, keep the following points in mind:
- Choose a larger size of Vest for StandingShell than you would if you were using Liko MasterVest for the same patient.
- Leg Harnesses are included in the product to prevent the vest from sliding up along the standing shell.

Ultrastrong topology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
In functional analysis, the ultrastrong topology, or σ-strong topology, or strongest topology on the set B(H) of bounded operators on a Hilbert space is the topology defined by the family of seminorms
p_\omega(x) = \omega(x^{*} x)^{1/2}
for positive elements \omega of the predual L_{*}(H) that consists of trace class operators. [1]:68
It was introduced by von Neumann in 1936. [2]
Relation with the strong (operator) topology[edit]
The ultrastrong topology is similar to the strong (operator) topology. For example, on any norm-bounded set the strong operator and ultrastrong topologies are the same. The ultrastrong topology is stronger than the strong operator topology.
One problem with the strong operator topology is that the dual of B(H) with the strong operator topology is "too small". The ultrastrong topology fixes this problem: the dual is the full predual B*(H) of all trace class operators. In general the ultrastrong topology is better than the strong operator topology, but is more complicated to define so people usually use the strong operator topology if they can get away with it.
The ultrastrong topology can be obtained from the strong operator topology as follows. If H1 is a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space then B(H) can be embedded in B(HH1) by tensoring with the identity map on H1. Then the restriction of the strong operator topology on B(HH1) is the ultrastrong topology of B(H). Equivalently, it is given by the family of seminorms
x \mapsto \left( \sum_{n=1}^\infty ||x\xi_n||^2 \right)^{1/2},
where \sum_{n=1}^\infty ||\xi_n||^2 < \infty.[1]:68
The adjoint map is not continuous in the ultrastrong topology. There is another topology called the ultrastrong* topology, which is the weakest topology stronger than the ultrastrong topology such that the adjoint map is continuous.[1]:68

Mau movement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Women of the Mau movement circa 1930
Main article: History of Samoa
The Mau was a non-violent movement for Samoan independence from colonial rule during the early 1900s. Mau means 'opinion,' 'unwavering,' 'to be decided,' or 'testimony' denoting 'firm strength' in Samoan. The motto for the Mau were the words Samoa mo Samoa (Samoa for the Samoans). Similarly in Hawaii'an Mau means to strive or persevere, and is often linked with Hawaii'an poetry relating to independence and sovereignty struggles.
The movement had its beginnings on the island of Savai'i with the Mau a Pule resistance in the early 1900s with widespread support throughout the country by the late 1920s.[1] As the movement grew, leadership came under the country's chiefly elite, the customary matai leaders entrenched in Samoan tradition and fa'a Samoa.[2] The Mau included women who supported the national organisation through leadership and organisation as well as taking part in marches. Supporters wore a Mau uniform of a navy blue lavalava with a white stripe which was later banned by the colonial administration.[3]
The Mau movement's efforts would ultimately culminate in the political independence of Samoa in 1962 but the height of the movement's activity in the Western Islands occurred in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Broadly, the history of the Mau movement can be seen as beginning in the 1800s with European contact and the advent of Western powers, Britain, United States and Germany, vying for control of the Pacific nation. The country became German Samoa (1900–1914) followed by New Zealand colonial rule during which the Mau gathered national support.
The dispute led to the eventual formation of a resistance movement called Mau a Pule on Savai'i by Lauaki Namulauulu Mamoe, one of the Samoan leaders from Safotulafai who was deposed by the German Governor of Samoa, Wilhelm Solf. As well as deposing members of the Malo o Samoa, Solf called in two German warships as a show of strength. Faced with this demonstration of military force, and with the movement divided, Lauaki surrendered. In 1909, Lauaki and the other senior leaders of the Mau a Pule were exiled to the German colonies in the Marianas (North West Pacific) where they were to stay until 1914, when New Zealand took over Samoa as part of its Empire duties at the outbreak of World War One. Many of those exiled died before returning to Samoa. Lauaki died en route back to Samoa in 1915.
Influenza epidemic[edit]

This catastrophic event was to lay a new foundation for discontent with an administration already perceived as incompetent and dishonest by many Samoans. The clumsy handling of Samoa's governance, the slow and deliberate erosion of traditional Samoan social structures by successive administrators, and a general failure to understand and respect Samoan culture also sowed the seeds for a revitalised resistance to colonial rule. Logan was replaced by Colonel Robert Tate.
Mau leadership[edit]
Mau prisoners being transported in the capital Apia
The groundswell of support among Samoans for the Mau came from the leadership of Samoan matai, the heads of families in Samoa's traditional socio-political structure. Family and chiefly title connections, a central part of Samoan culture, were used to harness support. The success of the Mau in gathering national support showed that fa'a Samoa was still strong [2] despite colonialism.
Olaf Frederick Nelson, one of the leaders of the new Mau movement, was a successful merchant of mixed Swedish and Samoan heritage. Nelson was the richest man in Samoa at the time and well-travelled. He was frustrated by the colonial administration's exclusion of native and part-Samoans from governance. Notably, he was one of many who had lost a child to the influenza epidemic of 1919 in addition to his mother, sister, only brother, and sister in-law. Although classified as a European, he considered himself Samoan "by birth blood and sentiment."

In reality, however, the Mau was built upon the traditional forms of Samoan political organisation. In each village that joined the movement, a committee was formed, consisting of the chiefs and "talking men". These committees formed the basic element of an alternative system of governance, and the tendency of Samoans to unite under traditional leadership meant that by the midto late 1920s, around 85% of the Samoan population was involved in open resistance.
Following another visit to New Zealand to petition the Government, Nelson was exiled from Samoa along with two other part-European Mau leaders. The petition, which lead to the formation of a joint select committee to investigate the situation in Samoa, quoted an ancient Samoan proverb: "We are moved by love, but never driven by intimidation."
Civil disobedience[edit]
As the select committee was forced to admit, "a very substantial proportion of Samoans had joined the Mau, a number quite sufficient, if they determined to resist and thwart the activities of the Administration, to paralyse the functions of government."
With his attempt at repression turning to ridicule, Richard offered pardons to all those arrested; however, arrestees demanded to be dealt with by the court, and then refused to enter pleas to demonstrate their rejection of the court's jurisdiction.

Following the massacre, male Mau members fled to the mountains, the traditional retreat of those defeated in war. The resistance continued by other means, with the emergence of a women's Mau to continue the councils, parades and symbolic protests that the men now could not. For the women's movement, even the game of cricket represented an act of defiance inviting official harassment.

1962 independence[edit]
Fiame Mata'afa Faumuina Mulinu'u II (1921–1975), the son of another high chief and Mau leader Mata'afa Faumuina Fiame Mulinu'u I, became the first Prime Minister of Samoa.
In July 1997, the Samoa Constitution was amended to change the country's name to Samoa, and officially the Independent State of Samoa.[6]
New Zealand apology to Samoa[edit]
In 2002, Helen Clark, Prime Minister of New Zealand made an unprecedented move and apologised to Samoa for New Zealand's treatment of Samoans during the colonial era.[7] Clark made the apology in the capital Apia during the 40th anniversary of Samoa's independence. The apology covered the influenza epidemic of 1918, the shooting of unarmed Mau protesters by New Zealand police in 1929 and the banishing of matai (chiefs) from their homes.[8]
An American Samoa Mau[edit]
The Mau had manifestations in both the Western and Eastern Samoan island groups. The Mau movement emerged as an articulated of an indigenous response to the U.S. annexation of the eastern Samoan islands in 1899. It featured the signing of petitions in efforts to enact political transformation vis-a-vis American colonial government, and included effort to resist taxation of copra.
There was an American Samoa Mau that took place in Tutuila in American Samoa in the 1920s. It emerged as a result of fluctuating prices of copra and represented an open affront to the American Navy and its patterns of treatment of the indigenous Samoan people and failure to respect Samoan customs, conceptions of self-government and the Samoan way of life. This movement received a lot of press in the United States, both favourable and unfavourable. The leader of the movement, Samuel Ripley of Leone, Tutuila, was in effect exiled from American Samoa, when he was barred by the US Navy authorities from disembarking from a ship returning to Pagopago from California, and he was never allowed to return to his homeland. He eventually became the mayor of Richmond, California. The United States sent a committee to American Samoa in 1930, including US citizens from Hawaii who had a prominent role in the overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom and Queen Lili'uokalani.

|How to obtain Swiss citizenship|
Home > Swiss Residency > Residence permits > FAQ > General questions > Citizenship
Swiss citizenship can be acquired through what is called naturalization.
To become naturalized, you need to have resided in Switzerland for at least twelve years, three of which occurred within the five years prior to the request. Time spent in Switzerland between the ages of 10 and 20 years counts double.
Phase one: federal authorization
The request is to be made to the Aliens Police in the municipality of residence. From there, it will then be sent to the Federal Department of Justice and Police, who will give a principle authorization if the following conditions are met:
- You are integrated in the Swiss community.
- You are accustomed to Swiss way of life and practices.
- You comply with the Swiss legal system.
- You in no way compromise the internal or external security of Switzerland.
Since Switzerland is a federal country, authorization must then be obtained from the canton and the municipality.
Phase two: cantonal and municipal decisions
The canton and municipality of residence can add further conditions and set the cost of acquiring citizenship before approving it. Conditions vary greatly from one region to the next. Some municipalities apply rather open policies, while others will go as far as granting nationality by means of a local population vote. Cost also varies according to municipality and canton.


for a better solution though as this one is a bit heavy.

How often do you find yourself calling $() with an empty object as an argument? – nnnnnn Dec 22 at 11:24
_USER_ Actually never (I don't use jQuery anymore). But I guess 3 years ago I had a case of exposing an API that would take a selector and return the number of elements for that selector. If another dev would pass in an empty object, it would incorrectly respond with 1. – Oleg Dec 22 at 15:03
$(selector).length && //Do something
share|improve this answer
You could use this:
 exists: function() { return this.length }
if($(selector).exists()){do something}
share|improve this answer
I had a case where I wanted to see if an object exists inside of another so I added something to the first answer to check for a selector inside the selector..
// Checks if an object exists.
// Usage:
// $(selector).exists()
// Or:
// $(selector).exists(anotherSelector);
jQuery.fn.exists = function(selector) {
 return selector? this.find(selector).length : this.length;
share|improve this answer
You can save a few bytes by writing:
if ($(selector)[0]) {... }
This works because each jQuery object also masquerades as an array, so we can use the array dereferencing operator to get the first item from the array. It returns undefined if there is no item at the specified index.
share|improve this answer
How about:
function exists(selector) {
 return $(selector).length;
if (exists(selector)) {
 // do something
It's very minimal and saves you having to enclose the selector with $() every time.

I like this approach – Akmur Mar 18 at 14:13
if ( $('_TAG_').size() > 0 ) { //do something }
size() counts the number of elements returned by the selector
share|improve this answer
_USER_ I don't know where you get your information from, but.size() does nothing more than return.length. There's a reason it's deprecated – Ian Jun 3 '13 at 21:41
You are correct, but calling.length, being a property, requires slightly less overhead than a function call to.size(). My bad. – Furbeenator Jun 5 '13 at 18:30
I'm using this:
 $.fn.ifExists = function(fn) {
 if (this.length) {

Is $.contains() what you want?
jQuery.contains( container, contained )
The $.contains() method returns true if the DOM element provided by the second argument is a descendant of the DOM element provided by the first argument, whether it is a direct child or nested more deeply. Otherwise, it returns false. Only element nodes are supported; if the second argument is a text or comment node, $.contains() will return false.
Note: The first argument must be a DOM element, not a jQuery object or plain JavaScript object.

NOW it is an answer – mplungjan Dec 17 '13 at 8:49
i always use
if ( $(selector)[0] ){}
thats nice and short
share|improve this answer
The reason all of the previous answers require the.length parameter is that they are mostly using jquery's $() selector which has querySelectorAll behind the curtains (or they are using it directly). This method is rather slow because it needs to parse the entire DOM tree looking for all matches to that selector and populating an array with them.
The ['length'] parameter is not needed or useful and the code will be a lot faster if you directly use document.querySelector(selector) instead, because it returns the first element it matches or null if not found.
function elementIfExists(selector){ //named this way on purpose, see below
 return document.querySelector(selector);
/* usage: */
var myelement = elementIfExists("_TAG_") || myfallbackelement;
However this method leaves us with the actual object being returned; which is fine if it isn't going to be saved as variable and used repeatedly (thus keeping the reference around if we forget).
var myel=elementIfExists("_TAG_");
// now we are using a reference to the element which will linger after removal
console.log(elementIfExists("_TAG_")); /* null */
console.log(myel); /* giant table lingering around detached from document */
myel=null; /* now it can be garbage collected */
In some cases this may be desired. It can be used in a for loop like this:
/* locally scoped myel gets garbage collected even with the break; */
for (var myel; myel = elementIfExist(sel); myel.getParentNode.removeChild(myel))
 if (myel == myblacklistedel) break;
If you don't actually need the element and want to get/store just a true/false, just double not it!! It works for shoes that come untied, so why knot here?
function elementExists(selector){
 return!!document.querySelector(selector);
/* usage: */
var hastables = elementExists("table"); /* will be true or false */
if (hastables){
 /* insert css style sheet for our pretty tables */
setTimeOut(function (){if (hastables &&!elementExists("_TAG_"))
 alert("bad table layouts");},3000);
share|improve this answer
In JavaScript you can do it this way :
if(document.querySelectorAll('*')!=null) { // It exists }
share|improve this answer
I stumbled upon this question and i'd like to share a snippet of code i currently use:
$.fn.exists = function(callback) {
 var self = this;
 var wrapper = (function(){
 function notExists () {}
 notExists.prototype.else = function(fallback){
 if (!self.length) {
 return new notExists;
 if(self.length) {
 return wrapper;
And now i can write code like this -
 alert ("it exists");
 alert ("it doesn't exist");
What's more exciting about this stuff is how it's written in CoffeeScript:
$.fn.exists = (callback) ->
 exists = _USER_
 callback.call() if exists
 new class
 else: (fallback) ->
 fallback.call() if not exists

I find OP's original approach not only to be much more minimal but more elegant than this. Seems like overkill to write this much code when OP's method is shorter, and doesn't involve callbacks. – Lev Aug 5 at 7:31
For simple cases - you're right. But for more complex situations involving a lot of code on both cases i think my approach is better. – Eternal1 Aug 5 at 7:38

Downlink Transmission of Distributed Antenna Systems in High Building Environments
Over the last few years high data rate wireless transmission has gained considerable attention in hot spot areas, including high buildings. It has been described that Distributed Antenna Systems (DASs) improve the performance of the indoor environment by covering dead spots. In this paper, a DAS architecture for high buildings is investigated, proposed and analyzed. The goal is to provide high data rate for indoor mobile users by exploiting spatial diversity and reducing the distance of radio transmission. In this system, the frequency is reused among floors. The radio signals in high buildings can propagate vertically and reach the neighbouring floors. Therefore, the performance of the system is limited by co-channel interference.


Home Jobs & Education What Is the Average Mortician Salary?
According to official government statistics provided by the BLS (the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S), the average mortician salary for the fiscal year of 2014 was $52,550 per year or $25.25 per hour. The profession, also known as that of a funeral service worker, requires an Associate's degree and has an average job outlook.
The mortician job is, therefore, higher paid than many US occupations featured in the BLS occupational handbook. However, some morticians and funeral workers receive a significantly lower pay for their job. The lowest paid 10% in this line of work receive just $25,910 per year, equaling to a mere $12.46 per hour. On the other end of the spectrum of reference for this occupation, the highest paid 10 points percentile get an average mortician salary of $83,520 or $40,16 per hour.
There isn't enough data to adequately say much about wage equality within this profession. As of 2014, there were only 60,400 people employed in the general area of funeral managing and death care. Of these 60,400, just 23,000 were morticians. Of the 23 thousand, 17 thousand were men, while 7,000 were women. Funeral workers and morticians are generally employed in the following two areas. As you can see, the salary of a mortician does vary a lot between them:
Industry Hourly mean wage Annual mean wage
Federal Executive Branch (OES Designation) $34.77 $72,320
Death Care Services $24.94 $51,870
"mortician salary salary of a mortician average salary of a mortician average mortician salary"
A mortician makes arrangements for the funeral and takes care of the deceased.
What Is the Average Mortician Salary by Location
Depending on the location where he or she is employed, the salary of a mortician may vary very much. Furthermore, the levels of employment for this job tend to vary greatly depending on each State. While salary varies depending on how many people employ the services of morticians in the respective area, the general price-tag for a specific area also comes into play.
Here's a list of the States which pay their mortician salaries the most in terms of the annual mean wage:
State Hourly mean wage Annual mean wage
Delaware $34.12 $70,970
Illinois $33.91 $70,530
New Jersey $33.80 $70,310
Rhode Island $33.74 $70,190
Nebraska $29.57 $61,510
Still, wage can be equally important as the specific level of employment. A mortician practicing his skills in Delaware might have a very hard time finding a job, even though the mortician salary is the highest out of all the US. That's because the whole state has just 80 mortician jobs available. Here's a table to indicate the best states in terms of employment:
State Employment Hourly mean wage Annual mean wage
Texas 1,940 $24.11 $50,140
Ohio 1,500 $24.83 $51,650
California 1,490 $22.71 $47,230
New York 1,460 $25.26 $52,540
Florida 1,250 $25.74 $53,540
Average Mortician Salary Change over Time
Given that the mortician job is seen as a hereditary line of work, parents usually pass on their trade to their kids once they reach an appropriate age. This means that most employees who begin work in this job line so early already know the skills they need to earn a decent wage. Here are the factors that influence the average mortician salary over time, according to PayScale:
 - Entry-level employees can earn up to 17% lower than the national average while mid-career employees earn just 5% more.
 - Experienced mortician will earn a mortician salary up to 23% bigger than the national average.
 - Late-career morticians may earn less than experienced morticians, but still 20% more than the average.

Topic: How to pronounce "Arduino"? (Read 51690 times) previous topic - next topic
This is how you can pronounce the board's name in proper Italian, download the sound file in the format that better suits you:
"Add a bit of jazz and swing between the 'Ah' and the 'du' - then say the 'ino' as in "ee no""
Cool, i think that is the better pronunciation for the word ARDUINO.
its made up of two old italian words(latin based) it means "hard-work" and "small" like the English word "arduous" and ino means small...
According to a recent article from wired magazine (in italian) _URL_
The board was named after a pub in the surroundings of the Interaction Design Institute, Ivrea, Tourin, Italy.
Obviously Arduino is not just a pub's name, it's a proper (not so common) noun!
Arduino is still used as a name and surname, in Italy and probably in most european countries. Infact according to a great italian site for name and surnames (in italian) _URL_ :
"It comes from the germanic name, Harduwin or Hardwin, made by hardu-, "strong" and wini, "friend", spread by the tribal population of the Franks in the IXth century, consolidated thanks to the prestige of few saints and the Italian king Arduino d'Ivrea (_PHONE_).
The name day can be celebrated the 15th of august in memory of Saint Arduino from Rimini, died in 1009."
As of today this noun has more spread use as a surname
As you can see from the graph here _URL_
The name has even more wide spread use when meaning our lovely microcontroller, so let's take this for the first, most important, meaning of the word Arduino!

On a related note, in quite a few of Arduino project-related video clips I've watched, people pronunce "solder" as "sodder"... never heard that before, maybe it's a US thing (I'm English)...

Well, I'm Italian and I have no difficult saying it out loud :P
Probably the best way to say it is : "Ard" - "do" - "eeno"
with "Ard" like "Hard" but without the H and "do" like the verb "to do"
I hope this make any sense to you, as I said I'm Italian not English mother tongue.
