SYMBOLISM OF THE GRAIN-EAR IN VIACHESLAV IVANOV'S WORKS
Languages of publication
This paper suggests a symbolic and contextual symbol of grain, present in the works of Viacheslav Ivanov. The subject of the authoress analysis and its starting point is constituted by his three poems:- the first one stating with the words 'Yazykov pravdu, khristtiane, / My chtim (...)', from the poetic cycle entitled 'Rimskii dnevnik 1944 goda', the two remaining ones are: 'Sozrel na nive kolos (...)' and 'Tikhaya zhatva' (4th volume of 'Sobranie sochinenii'). On the basis of these works she traced the functioning of this symbol in Ivanov's poetic output, as well as in his theoretical and philosophical reflections. She also revealed the most important aspects of the motif of grain, namely: grain as a symbol of resurrection and life after death (connection with the ancient mystery cults) and grain in the eschatological meaning, understood as toll - the fruit of sowing.

Multiobjective Control Strategies of a Novel Multifunction Electrically Interconnected Suspension
IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics
Vehicle vibration from the road significantly affects ride comfort and vehicle handling; on the other hand, the considerable energy in the vibration process shows potential for energy saving, especially for electric vehicles. In this article, we propose a novel multifunction electrically interconnected suspension (MFEIS) that utilizes two H-bridge circuits to control the energy flow. The novel suspension can operate in three modes, i.e., semiactive mode, energy-harvesting mode, and self-powered mode. Thus, the vehicle suspension can reduce vibration and harvest energy at the same time. The energy flow and detailed control procedures of each mode are studied, respectively. Based on the characteristics of each working mode, we propose two multiobjective control strategies to balance ride comfort and energy recovery performance of the MFEIS by switching the suspension working modes. An active vibration control algorithm is used to obtain the ideal control current for reducing vibration. The multiobjective control strategies, with different current tracking methods, are used to make the MFEIS generating currents that can track the ideal current. Furthermore, simulation and experimental results show that the proposed control strategies have advantages in ride comfort improvement and energy harvesting. The MFEIS can harvest energy from vibration and apply the harvested energy to suppress vibration, which has great potential in future applications.

How to Find out What Is Taking up Space on an iPhone (4 Steps)
By C. Taylor
The Apple iPhone has a finite amount of memory that must house photos, videos, music, apps and data. Without memory card support, you can't simply change cards to create storage space. Therefore, you'll eventually need to clean the iPhone to create space for new apps or files. The first step in creating space is knowing what is taking up the most space on the device.
Step 1
Tap "Settings" from the iPhone's home screen.
Step 2
Tap "General" and then "Usage."
Step 3
Look in the "Storage" section to see which apps and file types use the most space. The list is in descending order by the amount of memory used, so the top-most apps use the most space. If you need to see more than the top 10 memory-consumers, tap "Show All Apps."
Tap any listed item to see further details of its memory usage.

text: This paper presents two surrogate-assisted optimization strategies for structural constrained multiobjective optimization. The optimization strategies are based on hybridization of multiobjective population-based incremental learning (MOPBIL) and radial-basis function (RBF) interpolation. The first strategy uses MOPBIL for generating training points while the second strategy uses a Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) technique. The design case study is the shape and sizing design of a torque arm structure. A design problem is set to minimize structural mass and displacement while constraints include stresses due to three different load cases. Structural analysis is carried out by means of a finite element approach. The design problem is then tackled by the proposed surrogate-assisted design strategies. Numerical results show that the use of MOPBIL for generating training points is superior to the use of LHS based on a hypervolume indicator and root mean square error (RMSE).


How to Install a Hanging Mirror on a Door
Installing a hanging mirror on a door is a little different from hanging one on a wall. Hollow doors are not strong or dense enough to hold mounting screws, but you can support the mirror from the top of the door. With solid doors, a more traditional approach with screws should hold an average mirror. Extremely heavy mirrors are not suitable for hanging on a door, as the weight can cause the door to sag on its hinges.
Holllow Door Installation
 1. Use Over the Door Mirror Hooks
 2. Slip an over-the-door hanging hook over the top edge of the door, advises Mirror Coop.
 3. Attach the Wire to the Hook
 4. Hang the wire on the back of the mirror over the hook on the door. If the back of the mirror has a pair of D rings and no wire, string picture hanging wire between the two rings and twist the ends of the wire together until the wire is taut and secure.
 5. Stick the Bumper to the Door
 6. Peel the backing off a felt or rubber bumper and stick it to the door behind the mirror, toward the bottom edge of the mirror. It should be high enough behind the mirror not to show, but low enough to protect the mirror from bouncing against the door.
Solid Door Installation
 1. Position the Mirror
 2. Hold the mirror against the door where you want it to hang, with the back side facing out.
 3. Mark the Position
 4. Make a pencil mark on the door at the top of the mirror and at the left and right sides of the mirror.
 5. Take Your Measurements
 6. Measure the mirror from the top edge down to one D ring on the back. If the D rings have picture hanging wire strung between them, remove it.
 7. Measure down from the mark you made on the door for the top of the mirror to the location of the D ring, using the measurement you took in Step 3. Mark the door again at that location.
 8. Use a Level
 9. Place a 4-foot level horizontally against the door, aligning the upper edge of the level with the pencil mark you made for the D ring. Adjust the level, centering the bubble. OOK by Hillman recommends tracing the edge of the level onto the door with a pencil.
 10. Place the level vertically on the door and align the edge with the pencil mark you made for the left side of the mirror. Adjust the level until the bubble is centered, denoting that the line is plumb or vertically straight. Trace the edge of the level with a pencil until it intersects the level horizontal line. Repeat to make a vertical line on the right side.
 11. Take Your Second Set of Measurements
 12. Measure the mirror from the left side straight across to the center of the closest D ring. This measurement denotes where the left mounting screw goes.
 13. Measure across the horizontal line from the spot where the left vertical line intersects it, and mark the spot where the left mounting screw goes, using the measurement you took in Step 8. Repeat for the mounting screw on the right-hand side.
 14. Drill Pilot Holes
 15. Drill pilot holes into the door to a depth of approximately 3/4 inch at the mounting screw marks. Use a power drill and a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw shank.
 16. Install Wood Screws
 17. Insert a 1-inch, coarse-thread wood screw into the door at each pilot hole using a Phillips head screwdriver. Leave the screw head raised up from the surface of the door approximately 1/8 inch.
 18. Finish Installing the Mirror
 19. Hang mirror on door by lowering the mirror onto the screws until the D rings catch the screws.
 20. Things You Will Need
 - Over-the-door-style hanging hook or wreath hanger
 - Picture-hanging wire (optional)
 - Adhesive-backed felt or silicone bumpers
 - Pencil
 - Measuring tape
 - 4-foot level
 - Power drill
 - Small-diameter drill bit set
 - 1-inch coarse-thread wood screws
 - Phillips head screwdriver
 Some mirrors have hanging mechanisms such as ribbons or cords that are only decorative and not intended to bear the weight of the mirror. Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions, and use special hardware when recommended or provided.

DnD 5e Saving Throws Explained
Hey everyone! In today's post, DnD 5e Saving Throws Explained, we'll have a look at one of the systems that has been in DnD since I started playing with 3.5 almost a decade ago. Really it's a pretty simple system, but it's a part of the game that will show up very often.
Saving throws have been about for a very long time, they cover many areas, from dodging spells to avoiding death itself.
So what are saving throws?
Saving Throw Explained
In 5e there is a dice roll you will be asked to make fairly often in encounters. These rolls are typically used to test the character's ability to prevent something happening to them. The scope of what a saving throw "can be" is pretty wide. Let's go into how before we cover the when.
In 5e every character is made up of the 6 main attributes, also known as abilities: –
Strength (STR)
Dexterity (DEX)
Constitution (CON)
Intelligence (INT)
Wisdom (WIS)
Charisma (CHA)
Each of these attributes will have a score, the higher the score, the better that creature/character is at tasks covered by that attribute. This includes saving throws.
During the course of a game, your GM may ask you to make an attribute specific saving throw, based on either what you're currently doing, or if an attack is being made upon your character.
If you fail the saving throw, a bad effect will take place, either a spell will take hold, or you will catch a disease, or fall off a cliff, depending on the context of the saving throw itself.
If you succeed, then most of the time you will resist or overcome whatever caused the saving throw in the first place, a spell will fail to take hold, you resist the disease, or you catch yourself before falling off the cliff.
The way a roll would typically work is that a character would be asked to make a specific attribute saving throw, they would roll their D20, and add their ability score modifier to the result (and their proficiency bonus if they are proficient with that attribute). The total of that dice roll must be equal to or higher than the Difficulty Class (DC) of what is currently happening to succeed.
Difficulty Class Explained
So you're probably asking, "how do I know what the DC is?". That's a good question, well done! Generally speaking, you won't ever know the true value of the DC. Typically, you should only ever know if you succeed or fail on the roll.
I would say there are two kinds of DC's in the game, one is set by the GM depending on how hard they think the current action/situation is. The other is based on a character's specific attribute scores, this one is what would be used when a character/creature is casting a spell on another.
For the GM determined DC's it would have a numerical range from 1-30+.
DC1-5 range would be considered very easy
DC5-10 would be something easy
DC10-15 is a medium challenge
DC15-20 is where it would be considered hard
DC20-25 is considered very hard
DC25 and upward would be considered close to impossible
For a character-specific DC's, we would most likely be talking about spells. Depending on the class the spell-caster is they would use a specific attribute to cast their spells. A spell-caster can work out their own spell-casting DC with this quick formula
8 + Spellcasting Ability Modifier + Proficiency Bonus
Saving Throw Examples
So now we know what saving throws are, and what difficulty checks are, let's look at some specific examples of times you may ask or be asked to make a saving throw for each main ability, keep in mind a spell will tell you exactly what saving throw needs to be made, so we're not going to be fully focused on spells for this one.
Strength (STR)
Let's say as the party is trying to flee a trap-filled tomb, the entrance to the tomb is being covered by a lowering stone slab. The barbarian in the party runs ahead and holds the door in place to allow their party to escape safely. As they hold the lowering door, they could be asked to make a STR Saving throw, to see if they are able to withstand the force of the door pushing down on them.
Dexterity (DEX)
As a party member climbs the thin ledge of the side of a cliff, journeying upward, they are attacked and lose their footing, they would be asked to make a DEX Saving Throw in order to catch themselves either on their safety rope, or manage to grasp their hand onto a rock further below that is jutting out of cliff face.
Constitution (CON)
The party may be fighting some rabid gnolls. One of the gnolls bites a party member viciously. That party member would be asked to make a CON Saving Throw to resist being infected by the gnoll's disease.
Intelligence (INT)
If the party is fighting against creatures that have significant psionic abilities and it attempt to psychically bombard a party member's mind, then they would be asked to make an INT Saving Throw in order to resist some, or all of the damage inflicted.
Wisdom (WIS)
The party are in an enchanted wood, and are starting to get lost, the GM may ask the party to make WIS Saving Throws to determine that they are on the wrong track.
Charisma (CHA)
The party bard may have rolled poorly on a performance check in order to entertain a tavern. They could be asked to make a CHA Saving Throw in order to determine just how badly the tavern react to the poor performance.
Death Saving Throw
This throw is made when a character is in the midst of death. When a character reaches 0 HP unless it is healed, or stabilized. Every time it's that characters turn, they must make a Death Saving Throw. The DC for which is always 10 and it is not tied to any ability score. If the character rolls a 10 or higher, they gain 1 success point, 3 of which means they are still unconscious, but not dying. If they roll lower, they gain 1 failure point, 3 of which means the character dies.
Wrap Up
I hope this post has helped you understand what Saving Throws are in DnD 5, and has given you some ideas for the different ways they can show up in your games, not just spells and monster effects but also other scenarios.

Include non-communicating reefers in your monitoring procedure
With your REFCON reefer container monitoring system connected to the load calculator or terminal planner, the task of collecting data from the non-communicating containers becomes very simple:
- Transfer the basic reefer container information from the load calculator or terminal planner to REFCON, including container ID, location, expected temperature setpoints, etc.
- Transfer a list of all non-communicating containers from the REFCON system to the handheld RDC unit
- Go to the containers and check the listed data with the actual data on the containers
- Accept or change the data in the RDC
- Go back to the REFCON system and load the corrected data into the system, using a cradle or cable connection
You will now have the actual container data available in the REFCON system. You will also have the alarms on your screen, and you will be able to make the same reports and printouts as for the communicating containers.

Phuket Pronunciation: How do you pronounce Phuket?
How to pronounce Phuket or Phucket or Puket or Pooket
Here is an unexpected funny question I get often:
How do you pronounce Phuket?
For most of us, it's obvious, so obvious I'm still surprised when someone asks. I thought 2004 tsunami put Phuket and its name on the map once for all. But not… I still hear lots of hesitation, snickering and giggling. Lately some overseas offices called and asked if my residence was in:
"Fooc..." (hesitates)... "Fuuc... " (errrr...) "Faac...kit"? (giggles).
I couldn't help but giggle back at the embarrassed tone, the poor guy wanted to say the 'F' word so bad...
No sir, you just pronounce 'Poo-ket' [pʰuːkɛt] (in Thai: ภูเก็ต), it's that simple! Just like 'Phi Phi' is pronounced 'Pee Pee' and 'Phang Nga' is 'Pang Nga' (and strangely 'Suvarnabhumi' airport is pronounced "Sue-wanna-poom"!)
Phuket or Phucket or Puket or Pooket, you name it...
So where does 'Phuket' come from? It seems to originate from the Malay 'Bukit' (Book it?) which means 'hill', but was previously named 'Thalang' by locals. Thalang is still the name of the north of the island where the original main town was long ago.
In the 17th century when tin mining made Phuket very attractive to the Occident, Europeans called it 'Jungceylon'. Yes that's the origin of the name given to the giant Jungceylon Shopping Mall in Patong, and looking around the shopping center reveals few hints about old Phuket. If you want to know more about Phuket history, you can visit the Tin Mine Museum in Kathu.
All this story is obviously a lame excuse to post these fun photos showing some of Phuket Streets and buildings in the past and how they look like today :-D

Report: Flint, Detroit more blighted than hurricane-ravaged New Orleans
The article is based on a study from the Greater New Orleans Data Center, which has been tracking blight in six cities notorious for urban decline.
New Orleans held the unwanted "most blighted" among the six cities -- which also include Cleveland, Baltimore and Youngstown, Ohio -- for five years until the report for 2011, the most recent data available to the Center.
About 21 percent of all New Orleans properties were blighted in 2011, compared with 27 percent in Flint and 24 percent in Detroit, the report says.
The percentage of blight was based on the number of blighted addresses or empty lots plus vacant but habitable homes according to data kept by the U.S. Postal Service.
The study notes that measuring blight can be a challenge because "each municipality defines blight differently, and some don't track blight at all."
The 2011 data for New Orleans is also the first year of the study that includes estimates by the study authors and a larger margin of error because of a change in how the USPS recorded data, according to the study.

Emission Prediction with Detailed Chemistry 2019-01-2215
Numerical modeling of engine combustion products requires detailed chemistry and therefore large computational resources and time. This becomes a constraint when engine optimization at system level is desired. In this paper, a 1D modeling approach is proposed for fast computation to predict emission level at various engine running conditions. A new chemical solver within 1D framework is developed along with suitable reduced chemical mechanism. The reduced reaction scheme is validated against detailed chemistry on 0D and 1D reactors. It is confirmed that the new fast 1D solver achieves more than 100X speed improvement. Now larger mechanisms can be used for better accuracy with reasonable turnaround time. This methodology allows virtual engine emission map generation, with a refined emission map completed within 12 hours of computational time. When a transient response is considered, the critical first 600 seconds of FTP driving cycle is calculated within 1 hour, based on a reduced fast running 1D model.

New research from Loughborough University has revealed that understanding emotions can help hotels improve guest experiences. Hotels can then use customisation strategies in service design to evoke different emotions.
Dr Kathy Pui Ying Lo from the University's School of the Arts initially undertook research studies to understand conflicting emotions often experienced during hotel stays. She has now undertaken additional research to examine how hotels can develop their design and service strategies to evoke different emotions.
The research studies involved hotel guests taking photos to show triggers of emotions in hotels, in-depth interviews and analysis of critical incidents. The studies used principles of psychology and service design to draw implications for hotel design strategies.
Dr Lo identified four prominent conflicting concerns that cause contradicting emotions during hotel stays:
Luxury v's eco-friendliness. When extra amenities and service in hotels are offered beyond what are considered necessary by the hotel guest. This often evokes mixed emotions of happiness and guilt.
Exploration v's familiarity. These conflicting concerns refer to the fact that guests like to take the opportunities of hotel stays to try something different, yet like to feel the familiar comfort of home.
Enjoyment v's cost. Whilst extra touches such as free gifts elicit delight and happiness, they can also often trigger unpleasant emotions when guests think about the cost.
Novelty v's practicality. This shows a clash between attitude and standard. Novelty evokes a pleasant emotion but if the feature or service does not fulfil its practical purpose unpleasant emotions can arise.
To resolve these conflicts customisation is the key, Dr Lo suggests. The aim is to offer hotel guests more control of their hotel stay experiences based on their individual needs and wants. Three common types of customisation strategies enable hotels to evoke different emotions from hotel guests:
With a subtractive strategy, hotels offer the most basic room features and cheap room rate by taking away functional features or service that are not absolutely necessary. Guests may request subtracted features or service depending on their needs, usually with an additional cost. The intended emotional outcomes include happiness for saving money, contentment for getting value for money and satisfaction from selecting hotel features to spend on. An example is Tune Hotels, an international hotel chain.
In contrast, hotels using an additive strategy offer comprehensive functional items. In addition, guests may add special features to try something different or enhance enjoyment. The aim is to promote exploration and discreet enjoyment. Additive strategies intend to evoke emotions such as amazement, excitement, wonder and delight. An example is Affinia Hotels, a boutique hotel chain in the USA that offers options such as a duck for the bath, fitness kit, cupcakes and even an acoustic guitar!
By using tailor made strategies, hotels personalise amenities and service to fit each individual guests' particular needs and preferences. Hotel staff observe and record guest needs and preferences proactively. The information is then stored in a database. Pleasant surprises are staged for individual guests through personalised and meaningful features or service. Because these exceed guest expectations they create pleasant surprises and make the stay memorable. For example a guest who arrives at their room to find their favourite drink on the table.
Dr Lo comments: "The nature of service in hotels is shifting. More hotels are offering guests what they exactly need instead of excessive extras. Understanding the connections between customisation strategies and guest emotions is useful for hoteliers to design for better emotional impacts of hotel stay experiences."
Dr Lo will disseminate the research results to the hospitality industry and research community through invited talks.

A new adaptive control scheme is developed for a class of chaotic systems with unknown bounded uncertainties. It is implemented by using variable structure control. The concept of extended systems is used such that continuous control input is obtained to avoid chattering phenomenon as frequently in the conventional variable structure systems. Furthermore, it is worthy of note that the proposed adaptive control scheme does not involve any information about the bounds of uncertainties. Thus, the limitation of knowing the bounds of uncertainties in advance is certainly released. A numerical simulation is included to verify the validity of the developed adaptive chattering free variable structure control. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

You could make the dropdown box editable, then when the user starts typing the control suggests colors from the list. For advanced users the box should accept color values in hex.

If I want a custom colour, I have to select the star, and then enter in the colour value. You are adding an extra step for no benefit, and adding something that is not very clear.
I would instead treat the dropdown as a shortcut to a defined colour which modifies a text field which can represent a hex colour, or a code colour.
That way it is clean and simple to use, and makes it as fast as possible.

If you have the ability, I would also make the colour block a link to a colour palette with relevant colours. This would also act as a shortcut to change the hex value or code value depending on what is most applicable. Something similar to this:

Thank you for your answer, my mistake - I explained what I want to do in a very brief way. I can't go away from code field, this is the domain-specific area of app. It must be there. Also there are other different GUI elements: width pickers, style pickers, text editors and so on that will have two different input modes. Color is the only example. Hence, I need this "trigger" to switch on the "input code mode". What is the most intuitive way for end-user to perform it? End-users are aware of code input and app functionality. – Steve Mar 7 '13 at 18:22
_USER_ could you please explain how the 4th example shown would not work? You could just not use hex codes, but keep the text area for domain specific code. – JohnGB Mar 7 '13 at 18:43
yes, you are right about 4th example. But since this two colors could be different, it would be too confusing – Steve Mar 7 '13 at 20:08

Jamaican cuisine the Ital way:
Ital cooking is a type of Jamaican cuisine developed by the Rastafarian faith who believed that natural foods, herbs and vegetables are the way to go. Rastafarians doesn't practice the consumption of meat and foods that are produced by synthetic chemicals.
Today Ital cuisine is well sort after in Jamaica and else where throughout the world. Credit must be given to the Rastafarian elders who created dishes to that fit into their beliefs.
At first Rastafarians was ridicule by locals as many people were ignorant to many healthy lifestyles. However, it came to past when these same people are being thoroughly warned by doctors to eat the healthier.
The revelation is that Rastafarians has introduced healthy recipes into the Jamaican cuisine. The no meat, dairy products and chemically produce foods surely has being adopted by many. Eating lots of raw foods was Rastafarian forte. Now we see conventional nutritionists recommending that 75% of ones complete diet should be raw foods.
Past generations had planted lots of fruit trees in Jamaica that continues to produce. They produce naturally without any fertilizer about from what naturally occurs over the years due to break down of organic materials. While many people don't stop to think about it, but they are having nature's best. These produce are marketed elsewhere as organic and fetch higher prices than normal.
Ital cooking brings another dimension in the Jamaican cuisine which makes it truly interesting. As the saying goes that prevention is better than cure, let your food be your medicine. Ital cuisine is just that.

What is a Tree Protection Zone
The Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) is the means by which we protect trees on development sites and should protect both roots and crown spread simultaneously. The TPZ should be considered as sacrosanct, that is it should be isolated from any construction disturbance unless previously agreed with the Project Arborist. The dimensions of the TPZ are determined from the Diameter of the Tree at Breast Height (DBH)
What is the Structural Root Zone
The Structural Root Zone (SRZ) is an area considered essential for tree stability: loss of roots in this area are likely to cause the tree to become unstable in the ground. The SRZ should only be calculated if major disturbance of the TPZ is being considered. The dimensions of the SRZ are determined from the Diameter of the Tree taken above the root flare.


text: This paper explores the problem of determining the success of students in higher engineering programmes. The best way to do this is a full cohort analysis, which yields information such as throughput rates, average time to graduation and average student years per graduate. A much cruder measure is graduates/headcount, the inverse of which is similar to average student years per graduate. The paper proposes an alternative to a full cohort analysis which looks back from graduation to predict the same parameters. These analyses are compared using data for a fouryear engineering programme. The results clearly show the shortcomings of the headcount analysis, as well as the potential of the looking back analysis, especially where large sets of data are concerned. The paper also indicates the value of determining the number of student years it take to generate a single graduate, in terms of the funding which needs to be provided.


Add a Person Record
Print Friendly and PDF
People records let you create, track, and search information about your members. You must be a group admin in order to create or modify people records.
An individual's person record is distinct from their Faithlife account. While a Faithlife account is created and controlled by that individual, the person record is created and managed by an organization. As a group admin, you can link person records to a Faithlife account that is a member of your group. This will add some information from that account to your person record. There are multiple ways to create a person record. Select the method that works best with your workflow.
Skip ahead to:
Invite a member to your group
Add an individual
Bulk import people records
Create a digital connection card
Create a family record
Search your people records
Invite a member to your group
Faithlife automatically generates a person record for each member or follower of your group. Learn how to invite members to your group.
Add an individual
 1. Navigate to your group on
 2. In your group's Admin panel, click People.
 1. Click Add Person.
 1. Provide a name, and select whether the individual is a child or an adult. If desired, you can add a photo of the individual (this photo may be visible to any member of your group).
 2. Click Create.
 1. The person record will open. You can provide additional information about the individual (Learn more about populating a person recordor click Done. To add another person record, click Add Another.
Bulk import people records
You can import people records from another system using a CSV file.
 1. Export your people records from your old system in CSV file format. Faithlife can interpret CSV files from most record management systems.
 2. Check your file. Look through the file to make sure all of the data in columns match column headers. To import families, we recommend having a "Family" column in your spreadsheet. Add the family name in that column next to each person in the family. If a family has multiple surnames, separate the names with commas.
 3. Navigate to your church group on
 4. In your group's Admin panel, click People.
 1. Click the more options icon, then select Import from CSV.
 1. Select the.csv file you exported. A window will appear with three columns.
 - The first column displays column names from the first row of your.csv file.
 - The second column displays the corresponding field on the Faithlife platform.
 - The third column displays the type of data corresponding to each column.
 1. Ensure that the first and second columns match as closely as possible. For anything you can't match, select Notes in the second column. Do not leave empty rows in the second column. If you do, that data will not be imported.
 2. Check the data types in the third column and make sure they correspond to the first and second columns. (for example, that email addresses are correctly designated with the email address data type).
 3. Check or uncheck File contains a header row.
 4. Check or uncheck Update existing. If you leave this checked, the system will search for corresponding people records and override them instead of creating new ones (the system will ask you to confirm the changes).
 5. Click Done. It may take a few moments for the system to process all of the data--do not press Done more than once. When it's ready, your people records will appear in the People area of your church group.
Create a digital connection card
Digital connection cards provide a way to quickly create one or more person records, even with limited information.
 1. Navigate to your church group on
 2. In your group's Admin panel, click People, then click Add Connection Card.
 1. In the text box, type a name and any additional information you want to be associated with that person record (such as age or gender). The system will parse the information you provide and assign it to the relevant fields.
Note: To create more than one person record at a time, insert a comma or "and" between the information for each person.
 1. Press Enter. Based on your input, one or more person records will be created. If you add more than one person, the system will ask if you'd like to add all new records to a family record.
Create a family record
Family records link individual person accounts in a family unit, which has certain types of data associated with it (such as an address, phone number, etc.). Adding people via a family record is the best approach when it's more important to get the whole family in the system than it is to provide detailed information to a single person record.
You can create a new family record from existing or new person records, or using a combination of existing and new records.
 1. Navigate to your church group on
 2. In your group's Admin panel, click People, then click Families.
 1. Click Add family
 2. Add individuals to the family by clicking + Add Family Members and typing a name in the search box that appears.
 1. If a person record for that individual exists, click it to add it to the family record. Otherwise, click Create a new record. Repeat this step for each family member.
 1. After you've added individuals to the family record, provide a family name, address, etc. in the boxes below.
Learn more about creating Family records.
Search your people records
Once you've added people records to your church group, you're ready to search and create lists of your members. Learn more here.

The Total column shows the total number of people in that county or town with this surname.
For example, there were 279 people called BIARD in Hognaston at the time of the 1881 census.
The Frequency column shows the percentage of people in this county or town
with this surname. For example, a frequency of 2500.0000 in Hognaston means that
2500.0000% of the people in Hognaston on census day were called BIARD.
The Index column shows the relative probability of finding someone called BIARD
in this county or town, compared with the probability of finding them anywhere in Britain as a whole.
An index of 1 means that if you pick someone at random from this county or town, you have exactly the same
probability of picking someone called BIARD as if you picked at random from the whole of the UK.
Where the index is higher than 1, then you are more likely to find someone called BIARD here
than if you picked from the UK as a whole, and where it's lower then you are less likely. The actual figure
shows the level of probability - for example, a figure of 2 would indicate that you are twice as likely to find
someone called BIARD here than in the UK as a whole, and 10 would make it ten times as likely.
The value of 0.28 in Hognaston means that you are 0.28 times as likely to find
someone with the surname of BIARD in Hognaston than you would be in the whole of the UK.

The iBobber is a smart fishing tool that uses sonar to catch the fishes. After combining 19th and 21st century technology, iBobber has introduced an interesting twist of sonar and app connectivity to fishing.
What we need to do to catch a fish is just attach the bobber to the fishing line and it will detect where the fishes in water are and how deep the water is. It will communicate this information via Bluetooth to a Smartphone, which will allow you to adjust the casting and the depth resulting in increasing the chances of getting a bite.
Obviously, the sonar would not reach the Mariana Trench but it can detect the depth up to 135 feet and has a sonar angle of 42-degrees, means the detection diameter gets wide toward the bottom of the well over 20 feet.
It can also detect the height of a fish based on the scale size.
It also has an additional feature for those who love fishing; the iBobber will inform you about the temperature and also includes a lunar calendar which will help you to know the ideal fishing timing and locations. The iBobber app for iOS and android are available for free on play store.
The iBobber will notify you when the fish is caught in the hook.
The iBobber costs for $100.
The iBobber consists:-
Smallest on market Longest battery life

You now have better control over the format of your customer data in Totango, thanks the List attribute type.
With the List attribute you can predefine field values and set defaults, allowing administrators to standardize inputs.
Once you've set up your first List attribute, you can do the following things:
- Restrict inputs to predefined values
- Filter Segments
- Use List values like any other attribute. For example: kick off a SuccessPlay or Campaign when the field value changes.
Creating a List attribute
To set up a List attribute, follow these steps (note - you must have the Global Admin role to create a custom attribute):
- Navigate to Global Settings
- Select Attributes and Metrics
- Choose whether you are creating the attribute at the Account or User level
- Click the green "+" button to add a new attribute
- Name the attribute and provide a description
- For the attribute type, select List.
- Define the values for this List. You can re-order values as necessary.
- Decide whether or not the field can be edited. Note: if you decide to restrict editability, no one including Global Admins will be able to edit the field value from within the Totango user interface.
- Decide whether or not the field is visible to everyone, or restricted to users who's SuccessTeam has access to these accounts.
- Select what you want to happen in case a new account is created or updated and no value is provided for this field. Your options are:
- Delete - the attribute will not be displayed on the Account or User profile. If there is an existing value in the field and a null value is upload, the existing value will be cleared and the attribute will be deleted from the Account Profile.
- Previous Value - If the attribute is updated with a null value via manual upload or through the API, Totango will retain the previous value rather than deleting it.
- Default Value - If the attribute is updated with a null value, Totango will populate the default value as defined by the Global Admin.
- Save your attribute and it's ready for use!
Using List attributes in Segments
Once created, the List attribute can be used to generate segments. When you using a List attribute in your segment criteria, you will have two options:
- Is one of - Allows you to select one or more values to search on.
- Is not one of - Allows you to filter out undesired values from your segment.
Because disabled values are not deleted, it is possible to use disabled values in your segment criteria.
- List values cannot be deleted once they are created; however, they can be disabled and renamed.
- When List values are renamed, once saved, the changes will cascade to all accounts.


What is difference between Agricultural land and Non Agricultural (NA) land?
Add your answer...
1 Answer
A. The main difference is in the FSI (Floor Space Index) i.e. how big house can be constructed on a given piece of land. Normally for agriculture land it is 0.05 (5% )i.e. on a land of 100 sqr meter you can make a house of 5 sqr meter only. NA land FSI is normally much higher at around 0.7 (70%)to 1(100%).

Knowledge, technology trajectories, and innovation in a developing country context: evidence from a survey of Malaysian firms
This paper investigates the applicability of contemporary firm-level innovation concepts to a developing country context by drawing on the results of a survey of Malaysian manufacturing and service establishments. We build on Keith Pavitt's 'technology trajectories' framework to empirically test the effect of firms' structure, strategy, resources, and environment on the probability of their product, process, and organisational innovations across various sectors. We find that Malaysian firms possess relatively high process and organisational innovation capabilities, but lag in new product development. Further, they more frequently utilise a variety of'soft factors' like employee training, knowledge management practices, and collaboration with market actors as inputs to innovation rather than formal R&D. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings about Malaysian firms' technology trajectories to innovation policy in that country.

Projecting meaning
Projecting meaning into Chinese characters
Chinese characters look complicated, but they're mostly made up of smaller simpler characters.
I love learning these because every character is like a tiny poem.
language = words 讠+ five 五+ mouth 口
So a language is words that five mouths speak? Brilliant!
thanks = words 讠+ body 身+ inch 寸
Hmmm... so.... when you say thanks, you speak words that give a body an inch of space? Interesting.
name = evening 夕 + mouth 口
So your real name is what's spoken by a mouth in the evening? That's kind of romantic.
They're so vivid. I try to imagine the historical or cultural meaning behind each one.
Projecting meaning into Talking Heads lyrics
Talking Heads were a great band from the late-70s to mid-80s. Their lyrics were really evocative and mysterious. Specific but vague. Made you wonder what they were really about.
Here's an example:
Watch out - you might get what you're after
Cool babies - strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
All wet - hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown - dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Burning down the house
I read an interview with David Byrne from the Talking Heads who said that many of their lyrics were just random. Literally!
They would write evocative phrases onto little pieces of paper, then throw them into a bowl, and shuffle them up. Then they'd pull them out in random order, and put them into the song in that order. They did this because they liked how the listener creates meaning that wasn't intended.
Hearing one phrase next to another makes you assume they're connected in a meaningful way. But nope. It was just random. You made that meaning yourself.
Back to Chinese.
I have a Chinese dictionary called Wenlin that tells the history behind every character.
I looked up,, and the rest, and found that those characters are just phonetic. Those composite character bits were not chosen for their meaning, just their sound.
So... it seems I've just been putting the meanings into them, myself. They actually had no meaning.
But even knowing that, I choose to keep doing it. It's poetic. It's beautiful.
Projecting meaning into everything?
How many other things in life really have no meaning?
She was born April 12. He was born September 22. What does it mean?
One day you ride your bike instead of taking the bus. That day your usual bus gets into a big accident. What does it mean?
Black cat crosses your path as you walk under a ladder on Friday the 13th. What does it mean?
Nothing at all.
Nothing has inherent meaning. It is what it is and that's it.
We just choose to project meaning onto things. It feels good.
Even if presented with proof that it's totally random or neutral, we decide it has meaning anyway. It makes life more poetic and beautiful.
(And what if you've projected some bad meaning onto something, and it's getting you down? Don't forget that none of it is true. You're the one that put the meaning into it. You can just as easily take all the meaning out of it.)

In the Running mode, the block outputs the minimum value over each channel since the last reset. At t = 2, the reset event occurs. The minimum value in the second column changes to 6, and then 2, even though these values are greater than 1, which was the minimum value since the previous reset event.

Highlight: Stuttgarter Rössle / The Stuttgart Horse
The "Stuttgarter Rössle" – the emblem on the city's coat of arms – is a horse rampant: proud and vigorous, with fluttering mane and extended tail, untrammelled by saddle or bridle, it symbolises the city's development. Originally founded around 950 as a ducal stud farm, or Stuotgarten, Stuttgart has evolved over the centuries into today's bustling metropolis with its thriving economy and wealth of cultural diversity. In 1952 it became the capital of the newly-founded federal state of Baden-Württemberg. The horse has likewise undergone several changes in the course of time. Previously it had been portrayed striding, galloping or leaping against a silver background. The gold ground of the present blazon dates back to the year 1699 and the traditional colours of the House of Württemberg. The coat of arms finally arrived at its present form on 11th April 1938.


Quick Answer: How Much Does It Cost To Install A Beam?
What happens if you remove a load bearing wall?
Removing a load bearing wall may create structural problems in a home, including sagging ceilings, unleveled floors, drywall cracks and sticking doors.
Removal of load bearing walls without properly supporting the load they're carrying may occasionally result in a structural collapse and even injury..
How much does it cost to put a support beam in a house?
A load-bearing support beam costs $5 to $20 per foot on average, or between $50 and $200 per foot installed. Support beam materials other than steel include engineered beams like LVL or Glulam, wood, and concrete. LVL beams cost $3 to $12 per foot, while wood beams run $5 to $20.
How do you size a load bearing beam?
Multiply the loading per square foot by the area in square feet of the surface which the beams will be supporting. Divide by the number of beams which will be installed to get the loading per beam.
How long can a support beam be?
Measure your total span between members and ensure that it is not greater than 60 feet. Because of transport limitations, the maximum standard length for manufactured beams is sixty feet.
How much does it cost for a load bearing beam?
Load-Bearing Support Beam Cost A load-bearing support beam costs between $3 and $35 per linear foot, with most homeowners spending $10 to $15 per linear foot. A laminated veneer lumber (LVL) beam costs $60 to $300 on average without installation.
Are ceiling beams expensive?
If you're building from scratch and want real beams, expect to pay an additional 10 to 15 percent more for your home. Real beams cost more than standard framing lumber, and because they're heavy and unwieldy, labor costs to install them are also higher.
What size beam do I need to span 30 feet?
Re: I-beam size 30′ span I would design this with the beam in the 24′ dimension. Most span tables will allow much more than 15′ for 2″ x 12″ joists of almost any species commonly used for construction. A 24′ beam can probably be a GluLam using standard joist hangers for the joists.
Should ceiling beams match floor?
If you have hardwood floors in your living room, it may be tempting to match your ceiling beams with them. … Matching the colors of your ceiling beams with the floor can help unify the visual impact of a space, but it might also create a flat, monotone effect in some cases as well.
How much does it cost to install a wood beam?
The national average materials cost to install decorative beams is $7.49 per linear foot, with a range between $6.72 to $8.26….Install Decorative Beams national average cost.cost to install decorative beamsNational Avg. Cost (materials & labor) for 100 linear foot$1,812.872 more rows

What is the difference between an H beam and an I beam?
I Beams – unsurprisingly, I beams are shaped like the letter 'I'. However, contrary to steel H beams, I beams consist of two horizontal plates (otherwise known as flanges), connected by a vertical component (the web). I beams also have tapered edges and a slightly higher cross-section, compared to the flange width.

I have no idea why it won't send linksperhaps the browser is trying to parse the sent HTML too early?

You can use formatter in dojo grid to format the HTML displayed in each cell. When creating the grid, you can set a formatter for each column. The formatter is a JavaScript function that takes two parameters, the first one value means the value of the cell, the second one rowIndex means the index of current row. The return value of the formatter function is the HTML content displayed in the cell.
For your case, I would suggest that you use a single column for both the link URL and anchor text. You can use a simple encoding, like _URL_$$$Clicky, where $$$ is used to separate these two fields. The PHP code would be:
$link = "_URL_$$$Clicky";
Then in your formatter function, you can use :
function(value, rowIndex) {
 var parts = value.split('$$$');
 return "" + parts[1] + "";
If you prefer to use one column for each field, e.g. url for URL and anchorText for the anchor text. Then you need to get the value of another column when formatting the cell. Suppose the grid uses the url field. Then the formatter function may look like below:
function(value, rowIndex) {
 var item = grid.getItem(rowIndex); // Get the store item by index, need the reference of the grid.
 var anchorText = grid.store.getValue(item, 'anchorText');
 return "" + anchorText + "";

Thanks for the awesome explanation. I ended up using the escapeHTMLInData="false", however.. but will keep the formatter function in mind for later! :) – Paul Dec 1 '10 at 22:48

Pipeline: Split a CSV File
In this Page
I want to take a CSV file and split the data out into two other CSV files. While this is not a typical use case for SnapLogic, it does provide examples of how to use several Snaps.
Snaps Used
For this scenario, the following Snaps are used:
 - File Reader
 - CSV Parser
 - Filter
 - Router
 - Sort
 - CSV Format
 - File Writer
Other Requirements
 - A sample CSV file loaded into the SnapLogic file system. This example refers to a employee directory file, directory.csv, that contains the following columns: Name, Location, Extension, Email, Title, Department, Dept ID.
 1. Upload your CSV file to the SnapLogic file system. See the Files Page topic for more information.
 2. Create a new pipeline by clicking the (+) tab.
 3. Add and configure a File Reader Snap.
 - For the File field, select the file you uploaded in Step 1. Because you are accessing the file system, no authentication information is needed.
 4. Add a CSV Parser Snap. You will use the default configuration.
 5. Add and configure a Filter Snap. If your source file is a company directory and you only want data for the Sales team, you would configure the Filter Snap with an expression to restrict the data to just that, for example:
 $Department == "Sales"
 Be sure to select the expression toggle (=) in front of the field.
 6. Add and configure a Router Snap.
 - Determine which information you want to route to each of the two files you will create. In this example, you will filter by the Location column and move some groups to one file and the rest to the other file.
 - Add a row for each expression you want to process, for example:
 $Location == "Field" to output0
 $Location == "HQ" to output1
 output0 and output1 are the default values for the first two output views. To rename the views, you can edit them on the Views tab.
 7. (Optional) Add and configure two Sort Snaps, one off of each Router output. If you want to sort the data being written to the files, then you would add a Sort Snap.
 - Add a Sort Path and set it to the column you want to sort by. To sort by more than one column, add additional values.
 - Set Sort Order to the correct value.
 8. Add two CSV Format Snaps, one off of each Router output. You will use the default configuration.
 9. Add and configure two File Writer Snaps, one off of each Router output.
 - For each output, set the File Name to the name of the file where you want the results written to, including a path if necessary. See File Writer for information on how to write files to different locations. If written to the SnapLogic database, you can access the files through Manager.
 - Add the appropriate account type for the location where you want to write the files to.


Entity Framework Dynamically adding Interfaces to model
When working with existing model that is quite big and is being regenerated quite often in cases where abstraction needed it might be costly to manually go around redecorating model with interfaces. In such cases one might want to add some dynamic behavior to model generation.
Following example will show how automatically add interfaces on classes that have specific column names:
In your model go to.tt file modify the EntityClassOpening method in following way, this will add IPolicyNumber interface on entities that have POLICY_NO column, and IUniqueId on UNIQUE_ID
public string EntityClassOpening(EntityType entity)
 var stringsToMatch = new Dictionary { { "POLICY_NO", "IPolicyNumber" }, { "UNIQUE_ID", "IUniqueId" } };
 return string.Format(
 "{0} {1}partial class {2}{3}{4}",
 _code.StringBefore(" : ", _typeMapper.GetTypeName(entity.BaseType)),
 stringsToMatch.Any(o => entity.Properties.Any(n => n.Name == o.Key))? " : " + string.Join(", ", stringsToMatch.Join(entity.Properties, l => l.Key, r => r.Name, (l,r) => l.Value)) : string.Empty);
This is one specific case but it shows a power of being able to modify.tt templates.

MIT Unleashes Dish Making Machine
In a move that could be considered "one step closer to Star Trek", MIT has developed a machine that not only creates dishes on demand, but recycles the materials from them after the meal into new dinnerware.
Designed by MIT grad student Leonardo Bonanni, the DishMaker frees space in dish cabinets and reduces landfill trash. It also uses less energy to recycle dishes than factories use to make them. And, because the machine can produce up to 150 items, a dinner host would never be short of table settings when unexpected guests arrive: Cooks can select the number of place settings needed using a simple push-button control panel. The prototype DishMaker is the size of a standard dishwasher, and uses the heating element of a toaster oven to shape the items. To recycle the dishes, it heats them to about 300 degrees Fahrenheit to soften the acrylic, then a press restores them to wafers for easy stacking.
The machine holds 150 acrylic wafers and can produce a dish every 90 seconds. The wafers produce plates that are only 6 inches in diameter, the size of an average salad or dessert plate, but the machine can be adapted to use larger wafers.

Can someone please tell me how to determine all $\mathbb{Q}$-automorphisms of some splitting field $F$ of $X^3-3 \in \mathbb{Q}[X]$ and to determine $[F:\mathbb{Q}]$?
I think $[F:\mathbb{Q}]=3$, since I can construct a specific splitting field containing the three (complex) roots of the polynomial $X^3-3 $, but I don't know how to prove that it equals $3$. And for the automorphisms, I don't even know how to approach it.
share|cite|improve this question
the reason why you can't prove $[F:\mathbb{Q}]=3$ is that $[F:\mathbb{Q}]=6$ – user8268 Nov 6 '12 at 22:12
yes, once you have in hand one of the roots of the polynomial, you need to write down explicitly what the other roots are. Then you need to notice what other irrationality needs to be adjoined to the setup to get all three in any field. You'll see that there is a unique quadratic extension of $\mathbb Q$ there, and three different cubic extensions. This is an exercise that everyone must do for her/himself. – Lubin Nov 7 '12 at 2:27

Let $F$ be a field. Let $F^\times$ be the multiplicative group of $F$. Let $(a, b) \in F^\times \times F$. We denote by $\lambda(a, b)$ the permutation $x \rightarrow ax + b$ on $F$. Let $(a, b), (c, d) \in F^\times \times F$. Since $a(cx + d) + b = acx + ad + b$, $\lambda(a, b)\circ\lambda(c, d) = \lambda(ac, ad + b)$. Hence $\{\lambda(a, b) | (a, b) \in F^\times \times F\}$ is a permutation group on $F$. We call this group the affine general linear group of degree $1$ on $F$ and denote it by $AGL(1, F)$. Since $\lambda(a, b)(0) = b$ and $\lambda(a, b)(1) - b = a$, $(a, b)$ is uniquely determined by $\lambda(a, b)$. Hence $|AGL(1, F)| = |F^\times \times F|$.
Proposition Let $p, q$ be prime numbers which may or may not be equal. Let $a$ be an integer which is divisible by $q$, but not not divisible by $q^2$. $X^p - a$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{Q}[X]$ by the Eisenstein's criterion. Let $K$ be the splitting field of $X^p - a$ in $\mathbb{C}$. Then the Galois group $G$ of $K/\mathbb{Q}$ is isomorphic to $AGL(1, F)$, where $F = \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$.
Proof: Let $\zeta$ be a primitive $p$-th root of unity. Let $\alpha$ be a root of $X^p - a$ in $\mathbb{C}$. $\alpha,\alpha\zeta,\dots,\alpha\zeta^{p-1}$ are distinct roots of $X^p - a$. Hence $K = \mathbb{Q}(\alpha,\alpha\zeta,\dots,\alpha\zeta^{p-1})$. Since $\zeta = \alpha\zeta/\alpha \in K$, $K = \mathbb{Q}(\alpha, \zeta)$.
Let $\sigma \in G$. Since $\sigma(\zeta)^p = 1$, there exists an integer $b$ such that $\sigma(\zeta) = \zeta^b$. Clearly $b$ (mod $p$) is uniquely determined by $\sigma$ and $b$ (mod $p) \in F^\times$. On the other hand, there exists an integer $c$ such that $\sigma(\alpha) = \alpha\zeta^c$. Clearly $c$ (mod $p$) is uniquely determined by $\sigma$. We denote $\phi(\sigma) = \lambda(b$ mod $p、c$ mod $p) \in AGL(1, F)$. Hence we get a map $\phi\colon G \rightarrow AGL(1, F)$. Let $\sigma, \tau \in G$. Suppose $\phi(\sigma) = \lambda(b$ mod $p, c$ mod $p$) and $\phi(\tau) = \lambda(d$ mod $p, e$ mod $p$). Then $\sigma\tau(\zeta) = \zeta^{bd}$ and $\sigma\tau(\alpha) = \sigma(\alpha\zeta^e) = \alpha\zeta^c\zeta^{be} = \alpha\zeta^{be + c}$. Hence $\phi(\sigma\tau) = \phi(\sigma)\phi(\tau)$. Hence $\phi$ is a homomorphism. It is easy to see that $\phi$ is injective.
It remains to prove that $\phi$ is surjective. Since $[\mathbb{Q}(\zeta) \colon \mathbb{Q}] = p - 1$, $[K \colon \mathbb{Q}(\zeta)] > 1$. Let $H$ be the Galois group of $K/\mathbb{Q}(\zeta)$. Let $\tau \in H$. There exists an integer $c$ such that $\tau(\alpha) = \alpha\zeta^c$. We define a map $\psi\colon H \rightarrow F$ by $\psi(\tau) = c$ mod $p$. It is easy to see that $\psi$ is an injective homomorphism. Hence $|F| = p$ is divisible by $|H|$. Since $|H| > 1$, $|H| = p$, Hence $[K \colon \mathbb{Q}] = p(p-1)$. Hence $\phi$ is surjective. QED

Form of dance music from southwestern Louisiana, U.S., with roots in French, African American, and Afro-Caribbean styles. Similar to the music of the Cajuns (displaced French Canadians who settled in Louisiana), zydeco was created by the Creoles (those of African heritage in Louisianan French culture). Its name is thought to come from a modified pronunciation of the French phrase les haricots (the beans) heard in a popular song. The music usually features guitar, accordion, fiddle (violin), and washboard played to a driving beat, but it may also include electric guitar, electric bass, saxophone, and keyboards. It became widely popular in the 1980s through the performances of Clifton Chenier, Queen Ida, Buckwheat Zydeco, Boozoo Chavis, and others.

Tumor registry: Recorded information about the status of patients with tumors. Although a registry was originally the place where information was collected (in registers), the word registry has also come to mean the collection itself. A tumor registry is organized so that the data can be analyzed. For example, analysis of data in a tumor registry maintained at a hospital may show a rise in lung cancer among women.

I have modified the value of net.core.rmem_max with sysctl, and now I would like to set it back to its default value.
If I reboot, net.core.rmem_max will go back to its default value (because it is not overridden in /etc/sysctl.conf), but can I know this value without rebooting?
Ideally I should have run sysctl net.core.rmem_max to read the value before modifying it, but I forgot...

This is not possible in general: the kernel does not retain the original values (at least under Linux it doesn't, and this is probably true of other unix variants). The value of the setting is stored in a variable; when you change the setting, the memory containing the variable is irreversibly updated.
For most settings, the initial value of the variable is a constant that is determined at compile time and stored in the kernel binary. So you could, in principle, inspect your kernel binary to find the default value. You would have to locate the symbol corresponding to the setting you're interested in, and follow the address of that symbol in the kernel binary. Booting your kernel in a virtual machine would be less work.
For most settings, you can look in the kernel source — kernel/sysctl.c and other files. You'll see definitions like
 .procname = "rmem_max",
 .data = &sysctl_rmem_max,
(in net/core/sysctl_net_core.c), from which you can trace the initialization of the sysctl_rmem_max variable. While this one is initialized from a constant, it takes quite a bit of reading C code to expand.

On my OpenBSD machine, /etc/sysctl.conf lists a bunch of default sysctl values, but this list is not exhaustive.

The purpose of this blog is to discuss ways that a veteran without a 100% VA disability rating can use Total Disability/Individual Unemployability (TDIU) to achieve the same results. Although many veterans seek to qualify for a 100% disability rating based on one or more disabilities, the reality of reaching this goal is quite difficult based on the VA's rating schedule. The reason for this difficulty is the fact that many disabilities do not have ratings criteria that reaches 100%, and for those disabilities that can be rated at 100%, the requirements to qualify are usually extremely narrow and subjective.
The formula used by the VA when combining more than one rating also makes the likelihood of reaching a 100% rating very difficult. For example, a veteran with one disability rated at 70% is considered by the VA as being 30% "non-disabled." Any further disability ratings affects only the remaining 30% portion of the veteran. Therefore a 70% rating combined with a 70% rating is not a 140% rating. It is 70% + 21% (30 X.70) = 90% (91% is rounded down to 90%). As one can see, as a veteran nears a 100% rating it will take higher and higher additional ratings to increase the veterans overall rating even by 1% on the combined scale.
Because a 100% schedular rating is so difficult to reach for most veterans, an alternative mechanism called TDIU is also used by the VA. TDIU helps veterans, who are no longer employable due to their service connected disabilities, to achieve a 100% service connected rating, even though their schedular disability rating is lower than 100%.
Although most disabled veterans have heard of TDIU, there exists many misconceptions about TDIU and how to utilize TDIU effectively. The most common misunderstanding about TDIU is that it is a separate claim. In fact, TDIU can be considered in conjunction with an underlying claim for an increased evaluation. An additional misconception is that TDIU only applies to individuals with particular disabilities or rating levels.
When determining TDIU, the VA can only consider service connected disabilities and their effect on a veteran's ability to obtain and maintain gainful employment. Any disability, no matter how severe, which is not service connected cannot be a basis for TDIU. Besides being determined solely upon service connected disabilities, TDIU traditionally can be considered only if:
- The veteran has one service connected disability rated at 60% or higher; or
- If the veteran has a combined service connected disability rating of 70% and at least one disability rated at 40%.
When considering the single disability rating requirement of 60% or 40% as discussed, the VA will often miss the fact that many types of disabilities can be grouped together and treated as a single disability. For example, disabilities to both arms or both legs can be combined and treated as a single disability for purposes of TDIU. In addition, multiple disabilities that arose out of a single disease or accident can also be combined into a single disability for the purpose of TDIU.
Beyond the "schedular" application of TDIU, which requires ratings of 60% for a single disability and 70% for multiple disabilities (at least one disability rated at 40%), VA regulations also provide for consideration of "extraschedular" TDIU, when there is a single disability that does not meet the minimum rating requirements but the veteran is still unable to maintain gainful employment. For example, a veteran who suffers a single disability of the back may have a rating of 40%. This rating on its own would not reach the rating requirements for schedular TDIU; however, this veteran may still not be able to stand, sit or walk for sufficient amounts of time to allow the veteran to maintain gainful employment. Because the rating criteria does not allow for a higher rating for the back, and the veteran cannot maintain gainful employment, the regulations provide an extraschedular mechanism for the VA to grant TDIU. In this example, the veteran does not meet the minimum rating requirement for traditional TDIU, however, because a veteran cannot maintain gainful employment due to a service connected disability, the VA may grant TDIU if the veteran files for a rating increase and proves he is unemployable.
The bottom line is that veterans have alternative pathways of achieving a 100% disability rating. Many times the VA does not adequately consider these alternatives and it is important that denied claims are appealed and the claim is developed properly with evidence showing how the veteran's disabilities prevent the veteran from obtaining and maintaining gainful employment. If a veteran cannot work due to one or more service connected disabilities, the veteran is entitled to Total Disability/Individual Unemployability (TDIU).

 - DSN (Data Source Name)
 A DSN (Data Source Name) is an identifier that is used to store information relating to a database connection. DSNs can store a database's name and server location, the directory that is used to store offline content, the database driver, and the user's ID and password. DSNs can be used for a wide variety of database applications, such as SQL databases and FTP connections.
 How DSN Works
 A DSN is simply a file that contains all information regarding a particular database. DSNs allow the user to quickly connect to a specific database without having to re-enter its information every time. Like a Notepad document, a DSN stores text-based information, but is also able to automatically fill in the database's information when the user launches an appropriate database client. While DSNs are usually stored in the Windows Registry, they can also be stored in configurations files belonging to a specific database client that ends in a ".dsn" extension.
 DSNs have a wide variety of applications and can be used on both server-side and client-side programs, but are most often used for the latter. In addition to the user's information and database's location, a DSN can also store information relating the database's permissions and may allow the user to change the database's permissions by being integrated with the user's database client. Likewise, the user may be able to change information in a DSN by changing the appropriate factors in the database client.
