Web 2.0 and social media has transformed users from passive audiences to active participants in new production and distribution. The change is particularly prominent in a few digital news portals that encourage users to register as news reporters. While the juxtaposition of users-generated news (UGN) and organization-generated news (OGN) has significantly affected news industry, scientific understanding of this phenomenon remains scant. To fill the research gap, this paper proposes an integrated model to investigate the difference between UGN and OGN in their linguistic feature and temporal pattern, and examine their subsequent effect on circulation performance. The research model will be tested with 450,514 news crawled from Jinritoutiao.com, a popular online news portal in China which embraces both UGN and OGN on its platform. This paper is expected to contribute to literature by revealing the strategic behavior of UGN in pursuit for circulation performance.

Pot of Gold pop-up card
This is a charming pop-up card that children can make.
Adult supervision is advised since scissors are required.
Pot of Gold pop-up card Instructions
- Take a piece of paper and place it in "landscape" orientation. Draw a rainbow on the top half of the page. The rainbow should be centered and fairly symmetrical. You may also draw other fun features like a pot of gold, leprechauns, shamrocks, and clovers. Download sample drawing here.
- Color the picture and add a message. This will be your card.
- Fold the card in half with the picture on the outside. Use scissors and cut along the outer edge of the rainbow. Do not cut the rainbow completely off the card.
Note: this works best if the paper is folded such that the rainbow is exactly folded in the middle. The best way to do this is to hold the paper up to the light and align the left and right half of the rainbow so they overlap, then fold.
- Fold the rainbow flap down; make a good crease.
- Fold the rainbow flap back to its original position and open the card.
- Close the card again, but this time, fold it so that the picture is on the inside. Use your fingers to pull the rainbow flap so that it lies in between the folded card.
- The card should look like figure 7. Glue another sheet of paper onto the outside of the card. This serves as a backing to hide the rainbow hole.
- When you open the card, you will see a pop-up rainbow. It's a great St Patrick's Day craft! You can keep it as a pop-up card or convert it into a pop-up book by stapling on more blank sheets.

How long do skateboards last? When should I replace it?
How long do skateboards last is a common question among skateboarders these days. This article is for you if you'd like to know the answer and tips for maximizing your skateboard's lifespan.
While it is not an easy query to address, the typical lifetime of a skateboard is about two years. In reality, it is mostly determined by several important factors, including the skateboard's manufacturer, efficiency, use, and maintenance.
In this article, I'll go through all causes that influence the lifespan of a skateboard, as well as what you should know to enable your skateboard to last longer.

Factors impacting skateboard's life?
 - Always double-check if the wheels are properly tightened. If this isn't the case, use the skate tool to tighten or loosen the skateboard nut in the truck.
 - Be familiar with all of the stunts and tricks associated with skateboarding. If you don't know the fundamentals, don't take all of these seriously.
 - One of the most important factors is skate style. Beginners usually destroy their skateboards easily since they are unfamiliar with the sport.
 - Skating on rails and ledges would easily break down the skateboard because it impacts the skateboard more than usual.
 - Weight is a significant concern. The skateboard is more likely to break down quickly if you are overweight.
 - Many people get irritated and throw the skateboard when they are unable to ride properly. If you don't want your skateboard to crack early and quickly, never do it and try to control yourself.
 - Skateboard durability – Obviously, the higher the quality and robustness of your skateboard, the longer it will last. Skateboards with high quality often cost more money and last longer than inexpensive skateboards, so bear that in mind as well.
how long does a skateboard last
Breaking skateboards
The lifespan of a skateboard varies based on the type of rider
While I mentioned that a skateboard will last around two years, this is only true for average riders. If you want to see how long your skateboard could last, figure out if you're a Daily Rider, Amateur or Professional.
To decide how long does a skateboard last, you must first consider the three styles of skateboard riders and then define which group you belong to.
The daily skateboarder
The daily rider is a skateboarder who only rides from home to work or college, and there are many skateboarders who just ride for fun from a certain location to another location that they favor every day.
Unlike the amateur rider who frequently does stunts and rides with friends, these riders just go out with friends and do stunts on occasion. Regular users should expect skateboards to last at least two to four years, based on where they ride and how they use them.
The amateur skateboarder
The amateur rider is primarily a rider who does not ride day after day, but at least three or four days per week in skateboard-friendly places.
The skateboard of an amateur rider can last at least 6 months to 2 years, and if you maintain it well and just ride occasionally, it can last much longer.
The pro skateboarder
Pro skateboarders are riders who compete in skateboarding events, ride for hours on skateboards, and practice tricks and stunts and nearly every day in order to improve.
Skilled skateboarders damage their boards more rapidly. I know many professionals who adjust their boards monthly since they perform extreme tricks that lead their boards to break down more quickly.
They would like to pay extra for new skateboards. For example, if the manufacturers do not advance the wheels to make them more suitable for skateboarding, they would just substitute them.

How to make your skateboard last longer
Here are good tips to take care of your board so that it can last as long as possible.
Skateboards should be well-maintained.
Your skateboard, like other devices, requires your attention and should be maintained daily. If you ignore it and leave dirt to accumulate on the skateboard for a long time, the effect is irreversible, and you'll have to purchase a new board soon.
Even novice skateboard cleaners will find cleaning a board to be quite quick and easy. To prevent tearing, you should sand the skateboard's sides regularly.
Sanding the edges would keep them clean and protect them from chipping. To remove the wheels from the board's axle, use a skate tool.
Remove the wheel bearings. Brush and rinse them after soaking them.
Using grease, lubricate bearings to clean the trucks and wheels.
The wheels should be immersed in the washing liquid for a short period to soften grime and dirt. However, the rest of the skate should not be.
If it's raining, don't ride your skateboard.
Water damages not just your deck, but also your trucks, bearings, and wheels. When the deck wood gets wet, it becomes soft and quickly breaks or slits apart.
Protect the board from rain and, if it does get wet, dry it quickly with an air dryer. Do not clean the board by dipping it in water because it can cause a lot of damage to the board. To clean the deck, wipe it off with a towel.
how long should a skateboard last
Don't ride your skateboard in the rain
Don't do any stunts or tricks that aren't appropriate for your ability.
Many beginner riders underestimate the difficulty of doing stunts and tricks that are inappropriate for their skill level.
Doing tricks that are not relevant to your skill level is extremely dangerous. It increases your chances of splitting your skateboard into two pieces, especially if you are a beginner rider.
Rather than attempting stunts and tricks that are inappropriate for your skill level, begin with the fundamentals and gradually progress to a more challenging and critical level. This would make you better on the skateboard and reduce the chances of breaking the skateboard.
Riding on sand, glass and stone is not recommended.
Skateboard wheels can be ruined if you ride on sand or glass, and if the skateboard crashes to the ground when standing on rough surfaces, it will be severely damaged.
And if it doesn't crack, it would quickly lose its efficacy. and it will not last for long. So, find a flat road or a designated skate park where you can skateboard smoothly and learn all sorts of tricks.
Avoid slipping on the skateboard's tail.
Many skateboarders like sliding or stopping on the tail, which not just rubs the tail against the surface but may also smash the board after a few tries. So, don't slip on the skateboard's tail because the tail is the most fragile component of the board.
Avoid leaving the skateboard in your car
Many skateboarders make the big mistake of simply leaving skateboards in the car, assuming that keeping their skateboard in a car would be far more reliable than keeping it in a cold place.
However, if you leave your skateboard in the car, the heat will be much higher, which can affect your board, including the trigger and wheels, because these components are heat sensitive.
The issue with a car is that it absorbs the maximum amount of heat while driving in the sun, particularly if the car is black; it will damage your skateboard more seriously.
Shoes Matter
Wearing the best skate shoes can extend the life of your skateboard. When skating, never purchase or wear low-quality shoes. It can put a strain on both your legs and your skateboard. You'll likely get wounded as well if you wear the wrong shoes.
Land skateboard properly
Skateboarding depends solely on landing. If you don't know how to land properly, your skateboard would most likely break down quickly. At the very least, you must try to land on your skateboard with one foot.
Try landing on both feet after you've learned to land with one foot. Every day, practise, practise, practise. Eventually, you'll be able to land on two feet.
Store the skateboard
Many riders who purchase a skate are not even thinking where to place it. There are many skateboarding racks available on the market. They are reliable and do not take up much space.
Furthermore, you do not have to worry about anyone accidentally trampling or damaging your skate. Moisture, cold and heat are rivals of this board. As a result, streets, basement, and car are not suitable places to store it.
I hope that your concern on "how long do skateboards last" has been answered in this article. Riding a skateboard is such a great activity, plus it is inexpensive and enjoyable. The production, repair, use, and quality of a skateboard all affect its lifespan.
If skaters want their boards to last for years, they should only use them on flat and dry surfaces. And after a long trip, remember to clean and lubricate your skateboard to maintain it.
Finally, suppose you want your skateboard to last longer. In that case, I recommend that you practice the fundamentals of skateboarding, advance slowly with the tricks, and purchase the best branded skateboard possible. Best of luck!

I have an iPad app that contains a webview. The webview's page has a button on it that, when clicked, needs to somehow tell the native app to close the webview. Is there any way to do this? i.e. a way for the javascript in the webview to pass messages to the native app, and vice-versa?

Maybe have an NSNotification fire when an NSString instance field is changed. Use the post here to help understand how to communicate between JavaScript and Objective-C.
Then, it is just a matter of notification and string logic:
Steps for JavaScript to Objective-C:
 1. Web view button is pressed.
 2. JavaScript fires method which returns string.
 3. Local NSString is updated to denote button in Web view was pressed (see post above).
 4. NSNotification fires based on string change.
 5. Objective-C closes the Web view.
Not sure what you want to pass back to the Web view from Objective-C, but the above post should help.
share|improve this answer
You can consider using -webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:. Create a dummy link which you can identify and close the web view. As for the other way round, _USER_'s answer sounds appropriate.
share|improve this answer
You can attach any action using
- (NSString *)stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:(NSString *)script
that detects the javascript from your webview!
Here is the doc: _URL_
share|improve this answer
I think the best way is using pseudo image instead.
JS will insert a new image such as: _URL_
And your webview will override NSURLCache to retrieve 1x1 transparent image and parse parameters from you web content.
Note that NSURLCache only cache only one times, so please generate new timestamp for each calls.
This way is work for my project and call native iOS app immediately.

The History of the Smallest Park in the World
mill ends park, portland, smallest park in the world
written by Bronte Dod | photos by Rob Kerr
At just 2 feet across and with an area of 452 square inches, a circular cement urban park sits in the middle of Downtown Portland's Naito Parkway. Mill Ends Park, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest park in the world, came about in 1948 when columnist Dick Fagan of the Oregon Journal planted flowers in a hole where city workers failed to put a light post.
mill ends park, portland, smallest park in the world
Strange happenings involve Mill Ends Park. Take the Occupy Portland movement in 2011, when someone placed plastic green army men at the park. In 2013, someone stole the park's sapling, but it resurfaced the next day. Mill Ends also caused a brief international dispute in 2014, when citizens in Burntwood, England, thought the record should be held by a park there, because it actually served as a recreation area. In the end, Mill Ends keeps its title, cementing its place in Portland's long list of popular oddities and shenanigans.

Identity Vault
Identity Vault is an all-in-one frontend identity management system that combines security best practices and the latest in biometric authentication options for Ionic apps running on iOS and Android.
Don't have an Identity Vault subscription? Try it free now.
The Vault manages secure user identity and session tokens, ensuring sensitive data is encrypted at rest, stored only in secure locations on the device, and unlocked only with biometric identity (TouchID/FaceID). Always-on Session Management safeguards data even when not using your app, with background screen protection for sensitive data and apps, and automatic logout based on inactivity time.
Identity Vault is built and supported by the Ionic's native mobile experts and includes ongoing updates and maintenance, including new API features, patches, updates, and compatibility upgrades for new iOS & Android releases.
Why Identity Vault?#
Many frontend authentication workflows use unsecure practices like storing tokens unencrypted or using weak authentication logic that is easily compromised. In the past, Ionic developers have resorted to combining third party Cordova plugins, often resulting in insecure setups due to the lack of correct implementation of biometric and at-rest encryption strategies.
Common security mistakes include:
 - Not implementing Apple and Google's mobile security best practices. Guidelines often change with each major operating system release.
 - Combining disparate Cordova plugins together. While the code is open source, it's challenging to know if the latest security best practices are in place, and whether the plugin developer will keep them up to date.
 - Leaking data. Storing tokens unencrypted in localstorage is common but data is easily accessible.
 - Not clearing tokens after user inactivity or when new fingerprints are added. Removing tokens protects users in the event of a lost or stolen device.
 - Displaying data when app is in the background. Highly sensitive data should be protected from shoulder surfing, especially if the mobile app is commonly used in public places.
Identity Vault handles all of the above and more, reducing your team's development time from weeks to minutes while eliminating the need to learn complex native APIs. Instead, they can focus on delivering business critical app features.
How It Works#
Among Identity Vault's many features is the secure management of user identity and session tokens. The Vault ensures sensitive data is encrypted at rest, stored only in secure locations on the device, and unlocked only with biometric identity (TouchID/FaceID). Here's how it works in practice, in a typical authentication workflow.
An app user logs into your mobile app and the backend authentication system verifies their credentials. If valid, the system sends back a session token representing the user's identity and permissions. Since this token represents the ability to make changes on behalf of the user, it's crucial to secure it so that malicious persons or apps cannot access it.
Identity Vault workflow
Your app must store the token somewhere so the user can continue to use it over time, as the token will be sent back to your server to retrieve and modify data at any time. This is where Identity Vault comes in. The token is encrypted and stored at-rest securely on a physical hardware chip - the Secure Enclave on iOS devices. The enclave is isolated from all other system components in order to ensure sensitive user data remains secure.
Later, when an attempt is made to retrieve the user token, the app prompts the user to authenticate using Touch ID or Face ID. After verification, it's permitted to get the token from the Secure Enclave and use it for subsequent data requests.
In addition to secure identity management, Identity Vault fully configurable session management. While in use, the auth tokens will be in-memory of your app, so for an additional layer of protection, the Vault will automatically lock based on the specified inactivity time. It also comes with screen protection, hiding your app's data when put into the background. On iOS, it uses your app's splash screen and the native hide system on Android. Finally, you can use Identity Vault's user service to add the auth token to every backend system request using a HTTP interceptor.
Reference Apps#
While implementing Idenitity Vault, refer to these reference apps for examples showcasing all available security features.

Can Dogs Survive in the Wild on Their Own (Better Off)?
can dogs survive in the wild
When my wife and I travel abroad, and in particular to places in the south Mediterranean, we are always shocked by the number of stray dogs we see. If I think of my own dog, I can't imagine him being able to survive in the wild… but these foreign dogs survive on their own – or at least it appears they do.
Those dogs probably get a lot of help from tourists with snacks from the restaurant tables so might not be an accurate representation of whether dogs can survive in the wild… so what is the truth? Can dogs survive on their own and live in the wild and be better off?
Can dogs survive in the wild? Some dogs can survive on their own in the wild, and even thrive and be better off in the wild. However, this won't always be the case. Survival in the wild will depend on the dog's size, condition, sociability and prey drive.
That's a broad answer, so please continue for an overview of documented examples of dogs living in the wild, and what factors go into making it a success.
Can dogs survive on their own in the wild and be better off?
When you think about it, there are some very well-documented canine communities that have either escaped from or been abandoned by humans. The most notable is the so-called 'Dogs of Chernobyl'. Their owners were not permitted to take their pets when they were forced to flee after the nuclear explosion in 1986.
Despite attempts to euthanize the dogs, several of these dogs survived in the wild woods of the exclusion zone, even during the harsh Ukrainian winters. Although it is many canine generations later, the dogs still suffer the effects of the radioactive fallout and have a limited lifespan.
There are currently efforts to shelter, feed and sterilize those that live near human settlements, such as the guard huts.
Other examples of dogs that survive in the wild are Australian cattle dogs and Pyrenean mountain dogs. They will routinely spend months alone, protecting livestock in areas that are not conducive to human survival.
If you are planning to live with your dog in the wild, attributes such as loyalty, watchfulness and a protective instinct come into play. Strength and endurance are important if you plan to harness the dogs for chores such as transport.
Dogs that have been inbred for highly specialized purposes, for example, 'looking good on Instagram', may not make it, on their own, past lunch on day 2.
Survival hierarchy of needs for dogs living in the wild
According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, basic requirements for human survival include food, water and shelter. Thereafter, we need security and a social structure.
If we extrapolate this model for canine survival, we can reasonably dispense with ego and self-actualisation needs. An exception may be made for that quadruped piranha, otherwise known as a Chihuahua.
Can dogs survive on their own
For a dog to survive in the wild, he will have to know how to hunt and find water.
The first need would be for water. Dogs are not as fussy as humans when it comes to drinking water so they will probably pass this hurdle. They may have digestive issues for a while but they will soon adapt.
Secondly, they will need food. For most dogs not living in the wild, this would be at 8 am and 4 pm every day. However, left to their own devices they will snack on anything, in between times.
Dogs are fortunate in that they are omnivores and their digestive systems will cope with eating proteins, fat, bones and starches. Many dogs do not even care how old their food is.
When dogs live in the wild, they will no doubt need to develop hunting skills in order to survive in the long run. Individual small dogs like terriers and Beagles need less food and will be able to follow small mammals into their burrows. They could also be agile enough to catch birds.
Hunting dogs, such as pointers, setters and beagles have an elevated prey drive and are relentless in tracking down small mammals and birds. Retrievers, Spaniels and Newfoundlands would have an advantage in the wetlands, and might even be successful at catching fish.
The social structure becomes important for slower, larger breeds, such as rottweilers and mastiffs as they will need to hunt in packs.
Canine species in the wild, such as jackals and wild dogs, do eat carrion, but they invariably need to compete with other animals to secure sufficient quantities. Individual dogs would not be able to live in the wild and survive as successfully as they won't can't compete as effectively.
Shelter is a concern for most domesticated dogs. However, in the wild, dogs who live outside will grow and shed hair in accordance with the changes in temperature. In extreme hot or cold climates, respectively, the Mexican Hairless and the Malamute would have an advantage.
In most other climates, even short-haired breeds will survive, with the help of their friends.
Although there is a dominance hierarchy and 'survival of the fittest' that comes into play, within the pack, the collective will take care of its members. For example, nursing mothers will be protected, and the very young fed by older siblings.
Research has shown that rather than breeding indiscriminately, the way street dogs do, packs of wild dogs have fewer offspring. Among African wild dogs, the most efficient hunting mammals on that continent, it is usually the alpha male and female that mate, thereby preserving the dominant genes most likely to lead to the survival of the pack.
Even domesticated dogs have a highly developed sense of smell and this will serve them well in identifying friend, foe and food in the wild. Dogs also have more pigment in their irises so can withstand bright light for longer than their human counterparts.
Photos of packs of feral dogs show a prevalence of medium to large, cross bred dogs, with short hair. Most are lean but not too muscular. Small dogs routinely punch above their weight and don't seem to survive when humans are not around to keep larger dogs in check.
After successive seasons, the pack would take on a uniform colour coat, suitable for adapting to the region. For example, in warmer areas, such as the desert, dogs tend to have lighter coloured coats. One could term them sandy-haired.
What dog breeds are likely to survive in the wild?
Among the small breeds, the Jack Russell and Cairn Terriers stand the best chances of survival. JRTs are energetic little dogs, bred to be rat catchers and to enter burrows in pursuit if their prey. Cairn Terriers are hardy wire-haired, Scottish dogs that seem to thrive in all weather conditions.
Spaniels and Beagles are slightly larger breeds. Beagles have a bad rap in that they are reportedly slower and do not match the intelligence of other hunting dogs. But they are dogged in pursuing their prey (their big ears help).
Spaniels have the same reputation but are better suited to the water.
The best mid-range dogs are collies, retrievers and heelers or cattle dogs. They bring all the attributes of the aforementioned breeds to the hunting party but have more bulk. The retrievers will sparkle in water.
For protection of the pack, and backup in a hunt, Doberman Pinschers are lithe, fast and aggressive. Rottweilers would make into the pack by virtue of their appearance, and any of the Pitbull types gain a place because of their reputation. These are both strong, powerful dogs with attitudes that do not invite opposition.
In the snow, Alaskan Malamutes have the intelligence, the work ethic and the strength required for long term survival. The large breeds, such as Pyrenean Mountain Dogs, St Bernards and Newfoundlands are all immensely powerful dogs with glowing reputations as working, carting and guard dogs.
The St Bernard, due to its record of Alpine rescues, has the honour of being the national dog of Switzerland.
Regional dogs, such as the Boerboel and the Rhodesian Ridgeback would be high on the list of survivors in the Southern African region. The Thai also have a Ridgeback, and in Indochina, you will find a formidable breed of domesticated dingo which would easily revert to being free range. The Irish Wolfhound would no doubt love to join its namesake in the wild.
Do dogs live longer in the wild?
Whilst there is no research to prove whether dogs live longer in the wild, the best assumption would be no, they do not. If you think of the risks such as illness with no vets, food sources, water, traffic, fights, and other potential predators, they life expectancy of a wild dog will be lower.
Can I release my dog into the wild?
Of course you can release your dog into the wild, but whether they will survive or not is another matter. Most dogs who have been domesticated will struggle to adapt when released into the wild.
As well as the ethics of releasing a dog into the wild, there are laws too.
For example, in the UK when you release a dog into the wild you are contravening the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981. Section 14 of the act prohibits releasing dogs into the wild as a non-native animal.
After rats and cats, feral dogs have become the world's third largest human-introduced threat to wildlife. They are responsible for the extinction of almost a dozen species of birds and mammals, and are thought to be a threat to another 200 species, some of which are on the endangered list.
Releasing a dog into the wild is both

Interdisciplinary Middle Years Multimedia Model
The Interdisciplinary Middle Years Multimedia (IMYM) model grew out of the successful curriculum-based research and development project of the same name, which was piloted in the years _PHONE_.
The IMYM model demonstrated how the infusion of information and communication technologies (ICT) with promising instructional practices such as inquiry and constructivism could add value to teaching, learning, and assessing.
IMYM was assessed internally using action research strategies and externally by a Canadian educational research company. The IMYM model was piloted in nearly 100 rural and urban schools throughout Manitoba and is still being implemented voluntarily in schools and school divisions across the province.
Since 2005, the Literacy with ICT Across the Curriculum initiative carries on with the model first developed by IMYM.

Create a Delphi Form From a String
Elevated view of programmers working on laptops
Maskot / Getty Images
There may be instances when you do not know the exact class type of a form object. You may only have the string variable carrying the name of the form's class, such as "TMyForm".
Note that the Application.CreateForm() procedure expects a variable of type TFormClass for its first parameter. If you can provide a TFormClass type variable (from a string), you will be able to create a form from its name.
Sample Exercise
 1. Create a new Delphi project and name the main form: MainForm (TMainForm).
 2. Add three new forms to the project, name them:
 3. FirstForm (TFirstForm)
 4. SecondForm (TSecondForm)
 5. ThirdForm (TThirdForm)
 6. Remove the three new forms from the "Auto-create Forms" list in the Project-Options dialog.
 7. Drop a ListBox on the MainForm and add three strings: 'TFirstForm', 'TSecondForm', and 'TThirdForm'.
procedure TMainForm.FormCreate( Sender: TObject);
RegisterClass(TFirstForm); RegisterClass(TSecondForm); RegisterClass(TThirdForm);
In the MainForm's OnCreate event register the classes:
procedure TMainForm.CreateFormButtonClick( Sender: TObject);
s : string;
s := ListBox1.Items[ListBox1.ItemIndex]; CreateFormFromName(s);
Once the button is clicked, find the selected form's type name, and call a custom CreateFormFromName procedure:
procedure CreateFormFromName(
const FormName : string);
fc : TFormClass; f : TForm;

Month-over-Month data in Splunk
Image icon 9-2-2015 9-39-06 AM.png24.56 KB
I've been working with Splunk Enterprise a lot lately (and it's very powerful and easy to use!). In many situations, it is useful to show some metric compared to the same metric a month ago (or some other time period).
One way to accomplish this is with the community-supported Splunk app, Timewrap. I couldn't get Timewrap to output the data as I wanted, so instead here's the approach that I used.
Here's my goal:
Splunk Screenshot
Before we compare data from the current period to the previous period, we need to ensure the dates are consistent. This example compares data from the current day to a previous day. If you want to compare current month/year to previous month/year, refer to the Splunk documentation for the bin command.
index=foo | bin _time span=1d
Now we use the stats command to perform the comparison.
| stats count(eval(relative_time(now(), "_USER_")=_time)) as "Current Period" count(eval(relative_time(now(), "-30d@d")=_time)) as "Previous Period" by category
 - For "Current Period", count the events where the _time field is equal to midnight today. Remember, we just standardized all events to equal midnight of the respective day.
 - For "Previous Period", count the events where the _time field is equal to midnight 30 days ago.
If this is useful to you, or you have any more suggestions, please let me know in the comments below.


Short Note of Importance of Oil in India
Oil serves as a fuel, a lubricant, and a raw material for a wide range of products. Its by-products are used in chemical, pharmaceutical, textile and many other industries.
The importance of Oil in India can be seen in transportation, industrial power, light and heat, lubricant, petro-chemicals, and other uses.
 1. Importance of Oil in Transportation: Petrol (gasoline) and diesel oil are used to drive cars, buses, trucks etc. Aviation fuel is used by jet planes, heavy fuel by locomotives and steamships.
 2. Importance of oil in Industrial power generation: Oil is used to generate thermal electricity. Fuel oils and natural gas have largely replaced coal in the boilers and furnaces of factories.
 3. Importance of oil for Light and heat purpose: Oil is used for the central heating of homes and offices and paraffin (Kerosene) for lighting and cooking.
 4. Importance as a Lubricant: Vehicles, machinery and equipment's need to be greased with lubricants to reduce friction.
 5. Importance of oil in Petro-chemicals: Petroleum by-products are used for making synthetic fibers, ink and drugs.
 6. Other uses: Asphalt, bitumen, pitch or tar are used for road making and roofing and paraffin and wax for making polishes and candles.

Introduction: Refurnish Faded Calculator's LCD Display
The LCD display of an old calculator becomes faded and hardly to read in low light condition. The reflector behind the LCD turned dark due to aging.
Here are some simple steps to refurnished it, at least to an usable condition.
Step 1: Tools Needed
1. A sharp knife
2. Screw driver
3. Double side tape
4. Silver of white spray paint
5. A hot air blower
6. Some scrap papers
Step 2: Remove the Cover
Remove the screws with a screw driver, remove the back cover.
Remove the battery if required.
Step 3: Remove the Metal Protector of the LCD Screen
Set the blower to 180 degree Celsius, point and blow toward metal protector until the glue underneath is melted.
Important: In order to avoid the flexible cable of the LCD display melted and shrink, remember mask it with a piece of paper while blowing.
Once the glue is melted, the metal protector can easily be lifted by the screw driver or knife.
Caution: Beware of the hot surface, ESD protection may needed.
Step 4: Remove the Old Reflector
Lift the corner of the reflector by using a sharp knife then carefully peel it off by hand.
Clean the surface to ensure there is no residue of glue, make sure it is free from dust and grease too.
Step 5: Spray on the LCD
Mask out the entire calculator with a piece of paper, only expose the LCD.
Spray on the LCD, and let it dry.
Step 6: Reassembly
Apply the double side tape on the metal protector, reassembly the LCD and calculator.
Finally done, the LCD is become brighter and clearer :-)

Sarson Ka Saag
Sarson Da Saag (as it is known in Punjabi) or (Sarson Ka Saag, in Urdu) is a popular vegetarian dish from the Punjab region of South Asia. It is made from mustard greens (sarson) and spices such as ginger and garlic. It is often served with makki di roti.
Origins and history
The dish is regarded as the traditional way to prepare saag and is usually served with makki di roti. It can be topped with either Makkhan (unprocessed white butter or processed yellow butter) or more traditionally with ghee (clarified butter). Some spinach (called palak ) may be added to enhance colour and thicken the dish, though this may alter the flavor. Also added are some bathua, sarson greens, onion, tomato and all ground spice.
Mustard is a winter and spring delicacy, and its relative abundance in Punjab has made it one of the most popular dishes in those regions.


_USER_{Yan2012Efficient, abstract = {This paper proposes efficient estimators of risk measures in a semiparametric GARCH model defined through moment constraints. Moment constraints are often used to identify and estimate the mean and variance parameters and are however discarded when estimating error quantiles. In order to prevent this efficiency loss in quantile estimation, we propose a quantile estimator based on inverting an empirical likelihood weighted distribution estimator. It is found that the new quantile estimator is uniformly more efficient than the simple empirical quantile and a quantile estimator based on normalized residuals. At the same time, the efficiency gain in error quantile estimation hinges on the efficiency of estimators of the variance parameters. We show that the same conclusion applies to the estimation of conditional Expected Shortfall. Our comparison also leads to interesting implications of residual bootstrap for dynamic models. We find that these proposed estimators for conditional Value-at-Risk and expected shortfall are asymptotically mixed normal. This asymptotic theory can be used to construct confidence bands for these estimators by taking account of parameter uncertainty.

this is my investigation processed so far.could anyone pro have a look at my investigation to see if anything needs improving?
titile page: the effect of light intensity on the distribution of helice crassa.
Introduction: the ecological niche of Helice crassa: Helice crassa belongs to biological class Malacostraca(1). The helice crassa studied were found at Tohuna Torea estuary at the end of Riddel Road.they were usually found under the mud covered by the sea water,in dark damp conditions.so that they are not exposed to high light intensity.because they are prone to dessication.many adaptation features help them reduce the effect of dessication.these include:
1.helice crassa tend to move close to the dark place but move away from the light area. Because high light intensity is often associated with large amount of heat. –biology individual animal study helice crassa: mud crab Mary Melrose department of education Auckland 1988
2. Large pincers-this helps scoop up mud so that they can burrow to shelter from searing heat which is associated with high light intensity. the behaviour of two estuarine crab species by C.G..BEER, department of zoology,university of otago,new Zealand.(received by editior,April 15,1958)
3. the impermeable exoskeleton,strengthened with calcium carbonate,protects the crab from desiccation in air.
_URL_ htm#Helice
living under the mud often covered by the sea means cooler temperature,damp condition,low light intensity,im going to investigation the preferred light intensity of helice crassa which is the best light intensity which helps reduce the effect of dessication.
Aim: the purpose of this experiment is to find out wether or not the number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud changes with increasing light intensity.
Hypothesis: the number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud increases with increasing light intensity.
(reason:high light intensity is often associated with a large amount of heat, if an increasing number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud is found,then high light intensity would have an effect of the amount of dessication)
Null hypothesis: the number of helice crassa burrowing into the mud remains the same with increasing light intensity
(Reason: if high light intensity has no effect on the amount of desiccation then helice crassa will not show any responses to the increasing light intensity)
Equipment: 30 helice crassa.
3 ice cream containers
Paper to mark
Mud-6 cm deep(the same percentage of mud as well as sand)
Method: 1.go down the riddel road to collect 30 helice crassa.
2. Put mud (6 cm deep) into each ice cream container, the percentage of mud and sand remains constant in each ice cream container.
3.seperate 30 helice crassa into three groups with each group(10) put into each ice cream container.
3.cover the first ice cream container with a piece of wipe,then cover the second ice cream container with 2 pieces of wipe then the third ice cream container with 3 pieces of wipe.
4.measure the light intensity in each of the ice cream container.record light intensity in a table
5.after 5 minutes covered by the wipe, uncover it to count the number of helice crassa that has burrowed into the mud.
6.record the number of helice crassa burrowed into the mud against different light intensity.
according to the experiment with Helice crassa is looks well to me and the details too. you have te record all the changes and their etiology (crab's) and alos i think you have to read some more materials about physiology of crabs becsase they are different from other arthropods because the the chitina that they have allover their body. They stay in dark areas because they insticts sent them for protection.
I hope that i give an understanable answer.
Hi, I'm Karole, and I want to know what you mean by helice crassa is 'different from other arthropods because of the chitina'.
What is chitina? Do you mean chitin? And even so, don't all arthropods have it?
Also, is having chitin all over the body mean that the mud crabs have exoskeleton all over their body?
Is it a physiological adaptation? I'm looking for any physiological adaptations of helice crassa that reduces desiccation. By the way, I'm doing this research assignment for water content of the mud that helice crassa lives in.
im doing my research on the effects (on the weight of the helice crassa) of different salinities. i have searched everywhere but i cant find any general knowledge about the helice crassa and any adaptations of the crab related to the range of salinities and how it effects their weight, to help introduce my investigation. Any suggestions?

Objective: To report our experience with magnetic resonance urography (MRU) in pregnant women suspected of having obstructing upper tract calculi. The diagnosis of an upper tract calculus in the pregnant woman can be challenging. Recent evidence suggests that MRU can be used to effectively evaluate renal colic. Methods: From 2008-2011, 9 pregnant women were referred for evaluation of suspected renal colic caused by an obstructing upper tract stone. All patients underwent MRU with a half Fourier single-shot turbo spin-echo (HASTE) protocol. Medical records and imaging studies were reviewed for demographic and clinical data as well as outcome measures. Results: The mean age of the subjects was 25 years (range 20-34); average gestational age of the fetus was 23 weeks (range 9-36). In all cases, a renal ultrasound was the initial imaging study obtained, with nondiagnostic findings. HASTE MRU detected 4 ureteral stones and 4 cases of physiological hydronephrosis of pregnancy. In one case, interpretation of the MRU was limited as a result of patient motion. Of the patients with obstructing stones, 1 required endourologic management during her pregnancy and 3 were followed conservatively. No adverse events related to MRU occurred. Conclusion: HASTE MRU is an informative imaging study for pregnant women with suspected upper tract stone disease. Information gathered from this study augments that gained from alternative modalities, and aids in medical decision-making. The lack of ionizing radiation exposure, coupled with the capture of detailed anatomic imaging, makes HASTE MRU a particularly useful study in this setting.

Calculate specular reflectance
R = specular(Nx,Ny,Nz,S,V)
R = specular(Nx,Ny,Nz,S,V) returns the reflectance of a surface with normal vector components [Nx,Ny,Nz]. S and V specify the direction to the light source and to the viewer, respectively. You can specify these directions as three vectors[x,y,z] or two vectors [Theta Phi (in spherical coordinates).
The specular highlight is strongest when the normal vector is in the direction of (S+V)/2 where S is the source direction, and V is the view direction.
The surface spread exponent can be specified by including a sixth argument as in specular(Nx,Ny,Nz,S,V,spread).

Coffee Filter Rainbow
Coffee Filter Rainbow 540 400 admin
How can one color be many colors? Ask your kids how many colors are hiding in other colors. My boys gave the usual answers, red and blue are in purple, blue and yellow in green. But when I asked what colors make black, they were stumped. With just two simple ingredients and water, find how many colors can hide in black.
What you need:
 - Coffee filter
 - Black marker
What you do:
 1. Fold the coffee filter in quarters.
 2. Color the tip of the coffee filter cone black.
 3. Dip the black tip into water and lay it flat on plate.
 4. Watch for the rainbow to creep up the filter!
Why it works?
The coffee filter spreads the water upwards and separates the different color particles in the black marker ink. The color black reflects no colors. By mixing lots of colors which absorb specific wavelengths and reflect others, the colors end up absorbing any wavelengths reflected by any one color, leaving only black.
Want a little more color excitement? Try different color markers on the tip or fold the coffee filter in different ways to make different patterns.

Migrating your data into Azure Cosmos DB
June 26, 2020 by
In the previous article, Start your journey with Azure Cosmos DB, we provided you with the backpack that helps you to start your journey with Azure Cosmos DB and filled it with detailed information about the Cosmos DB usage benefits, how to create your first Cosmos DB account, create a new database, container, and items and finally how to query the data stored in that container.
In this article, we will show how to migrate a SQL Server database table's data into an Azure Cosmos DB container using the Cosmos DB Data Migration tool and query the migrated data.
Azure Cosmos DB Data Migration Tool
When planning to migrate your data into an Azure Cosmos DB, you need to use the suitable migration tool that supports your Cosmos DB API type. For example, the Cosmos DB Data Migration tool can be used to migrate the data from the SQL API and the Table API, but it does not support migrating data into Mongo DB API and Gremlin API.
Before using the Cosmos DB Data Migration tool, you need to make sure that the Microsoft.NET Framework 4.51 or higher is installed on the machine where you will run the migration tool. Also, if you plan to migrate a huge amount of data into the Cosmos DB container, make sure to increase the throughput in order to migrate the data faster, as the data migration speed depends highly on the throughput amount. You can easily decrease the throughput after completing the data migration operation to eliminate any high costs issue.
A precompiled copy of the Cosmos DB Data Migration tool can be downloaded directly from this page. The downloaded package contains both a command-line version of the data migration tool, as Dt.exe, and a graphical user interface version of that tool, as Dtui.exe, as shown below:
Precompiled version of Cosmos DB DMT
Migrate SQL Data
The Cosmos DB Data Migration tool is an executable tool, which requires no installation to start the migration process. So, to launch the Data Migration tool, double-click on the executable file of the tool, and it will start directly.
When the Data Migration tool launches, the Welcome page will display a piece of introductory information about that tool, providing external links for the tool documentation and for suggesting new features for that tool, as shown below:
DMT Welcome
The Data Migration tool can be used to import data into your Cosmos DB container, from different data sources. This includes importing data from JSON files, MongoDB, SQL Server, CSV files, Azure Table storage, Amazon DynamoDB, and Azure Cosmos DB SQL API containers.
In this demo, we will copy data from a SQL Server instance, by choosing the SQL data source, as shown below:
Copy from SQL
In order to connect to the SQL Server data source, provide the Standard SQL Server connection string that contains the SQL Server name, the database name, and authorized account credentials to connect to that SQL Server instance. Click on the Verify option to validate the connecting string and make sure that the connection is opened to that SQL Server instance, as below:
Provide connection string and validate
The next step is to provide the T-SQL query that is used to retrieve the data to be migrated from that SQL Server instance. It is recommended to write and tune that T-SQL query first using the SSMS tool, to retrieve only the columns and records that you really need to migrate, in the most optimized way, as shown below:
Write and test query in SSMS
Once the optimal T-SQL query is ready, provide it directly to the Azure Cosmos DB Data Migration tool, or save it as a file and browse that file in the data migration tool.
The Nesting Separator option is used to modify the structure of the generated document by creating hierarchical relationships for the sub-properties, such as the state, country, street and building number of the address, during the data import process, as shown below:
Provide query text
In the Target Information page, specify whether to migrate the data into a JSON file that can be used later, or migrate it directly into an Azure Cosmos DB container using the Sequential or Bulk import method.
The Bulk importer uses the Cosmos DB stored procedure for the copy efficiency, where the stored procedure will be created and executed during the import operation then deleted from the target collection when the import operation completed, with the ability to migrate to a one or more single-partitioned containers.
On the other hand, the sequential importer copies the source records one by one, with the ability to migrate the data to only one container that contains single or multiple partitions.
In this demo, we will use the sequential importer option, as shown below:
Importers options
Before going through the next steps in the Data Migration tool wizard, make sure that you already have a database created under your Azure Cosmos DB account. If not, you can easily create a new Cosmos DB database, by following the steps below:
Create Cosmos DB database
Keep the name of the created database as we will use it in the next step.
In order to get the connection string of the Azure Cosmos DB account, open the account in the Azure Portal and copy the Primary Connection String under the Keys option, as shown below:
Cosmos DB Keys
In order to build the Azure Cosmos DB connection string that can be used in the Data Migration tool, we need to append the name of the created database, as Database=, at the right side of the connection string that is copied from the Cosmos DB keys.
After providing the target connection string, click on the Verify option to validate and test the connection to that account, as shown below:
Provide target and validate it
In the Collection field, you need to provide the name of the container to migrate the data into, where we can only create one container for the Sequential importer, with the ability to create multiple partitions on that container using the provided value of the Partition Key. Multiple containers that are supported by the Bulk importer can be created by providing the name of the collection prefix and the range of collections, as [0-n]. In this example, we will create one container, and use the JobTitle column as a partition key, and the BusinessEntityID as the ID field in the collection items.
It is recommended to tune the throughput amount to make the import operation faster. In our example, we will keep it with default value as we will migrate a small number of records to the Azure Cosmos DB database.
You can also configure a number of advanced options, such as the number of parallel requests, whether to disable the automatic Id generation and consider using the imported ID field, updating (overwriting) the existing documents, specifying the number of retries in case of import failure, the interval between retries, the connection mode, including DirectTcp, DirectHttps, and Gateway and finally persisting the data as String, Epoch or Both, as shown below:
Target settings
In the Advanced Configuration window, you will be requested to specify the location of the import error log file, the type of errors to write to that log file and the update frequency of the import progress messages, as shown below:
Error Log Specification
The next window is the Summary window, in which you can review all your selections before proceeding with the import operation, as shown below:
Summary window
If you manage to perform the import process later or using a command-line tool, the Summary window provides you with the ability to view and copy the command that can be used to import the data based on your choices from the previous steps, as shown below:
View Command
After reviewing all selected options, click on the Import option to start the import operation and monitor the progress of the data migration.
Once the operation completed, the Data Migration tool provides you with the ability to export the failure report or start a new import operation, as shown below:
Import Completed
Query Migrated Data
To validate that the data is migrated to the Azure Cosmos DB container, open the Cosmos DB account using the Azure Portal and browse the database container under the Data Explorer, as shown below:
Validate Data using Data Explorer
To write your own query, instead of using the default data filter, click on the New SQL Query option, to open the query editor, as shown below:
Open Query Editor
In the query editor window, customize the default SELECT query by proving your T-SQL statement. For example, we will return only the employees with a specific job title, by adding a new filter using the WHERE clause, then execute the query, as shown below:
Filter by Job title
We can customize the T-SQL query by specifying the list of columns that we are interested in, and provide the names of the columns in the SELECT statement, then execute the query, as below:
Minimize the number of returned columns
The query editor provides you also with the ability to write more complex T-SQL queries to retrieve only the data that you are interested in and in the preferred view. But you need to tune the query and make sure that this query is not consuming a lot of Azure Cosmos DB resources. This can be verified by checking the Query Statistics for each query to end up with the best performing one, as shown below:
Query Statistics
Another thing to consider here is to make sure that you are using the partition key in your query to filter the retrieved data, as the data already stored in the containers based on the partition key column values.
This is clear from the simple example below, where writing a query that filters the data using another column instead of the partition key, as in the left query, will consume extra 8% RUs compared to filtering the data using the partition key, as in the right query, in addition to the 51% extra index lookup time required to query the data based on the non-partition key, as shown below:
Performance comparison

Difference between Merge Raster Layers and Build Virtual Raster in QGis?Geographic Information Systems
What is a virtual raster QGIS?
A virtual raster (VRT) is a special type of file that references one or more existing raster datasets and combines them into a single virtual layer.
Can you merge raster layers in QGIS?
QGIS uses the the GDAL merge tool, which is a very fast and efficient tool, to merge multiple raster layers. To merge raster layers in QGIS open the Merge tool from the raster menu, then select the raster layers to merge together, specify an output location and click run.
How do I merge raster in QGIS?
QGIS: Raster Merging
- In the QGIS Browser Panel, select the GeoTiffs you want to merge and right click to add them to the main window.
- Select Raster > Miscellaneous > Merge.
- In the Merge dialogue window, for Input files, browse to your directory containing your GeoTiff tiles.
How do I combine two raster layers?
Open the Mosaic To New Raster tool by navigating to ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Raster > Raster Dataset.
- Insert the raster files.
- Select the output location.
- Specify a name and extension for the output.
- Specify the pixel type.
- Specify the number of bands.
What is a virtual raster?
A virtual raster is a special type of raster whose pixel values are created upon request during data processing or visualization. Its memory footprint includes a reference to a source raster along with details of how the source pixel values will be modified in order to create new pixels.
What are the two types of raster data?
There are two types of raster data: continuous and discrete. An example of discrete raster data is population density. Continuous data examples are temperature and elevation measurements. There are also three types of raster datasets: thematic data, spectral data, and pictures (imagery).
What is the difference between merge and mosaic raster?
In the case of MERGE, the sequence of input grids determines the values assigned to cells, giving priority to those entered first. For MOSAIC, overlapping areas were blended to make a smooth transition and the sequence of entry is irrelevant (if on each overlapping area no more than two grids intersect).
What is merge in QGIS?
QGIS Introduction: Merge Shapefiles
Merging data can be necessary when you obtain vector data from multiple sources. In QGIS, the data need to be the data same type (i.e. all polygons or all points) and in one folder with no other data.
How do I merge layers in QGIS?
Quote from video: Okay often in qgis we might may find ourselves with a situation where we have four different layers. These are just countries and they just come in my background mapping. And so it's not really that
What is a virtual field in QGIS?
Virtual fields are a pure QGIS concept. The data provider (your database) does not know the slightest bit about their existence. Virtual fields are just put "on top of" the real data, their values are temporarily regenerated by QGIS every time they are required somewhere.
What is a virtual layer in QGIS?
A special kind of vector layer allows you to define a layer as the result of an advanced query, using the SQL language on any number of other vector layers that QGIS is able to open. These layers are called virtual layers: they do not carry data by themselves and can be seen as views to other layers.
What is VRT in QGIS?
Description. Builds a VRT (Virtual Dataset) that is a mosaic of the list of input GDAL-supported rasters. With a mosaic you can merge several raster files. The algorithm is derived from the GDAL buildvrt utility.

v3.1.0 - Show latest stable - 0 notes - Class: ActionController::RecordIdentifier
record_key_for_dom_id(record) protected
Returns a string representation of the key attribute(s) that is suitable for use in an HTML DOM id. This can be overwritten to customize the default generated string representation if desired. If you need to read back a key from a dom_id in order to query for the underlying database record, you should write a helper like 'person_record_from_dom_id' that will extract the key either based on the default implementation (which just joins all key attributes with '-') or on your own overwritten version of the method. By default, this implementation passes the key string through a method that replaces all characters that are invalid inside DOM ids, with valid ones. You need to make sure yourself that your dom ids are valid, in case you overwrite this method.

Police vs Private Investigations: What is the Difference?
Police and private investigation services may seem similar on the surface, but there are several key differences which influence the two roles and impact their scope of delivery.
The first, most identifiable difference, is legal authority. Police officials have the legal authority to detain witnesses and compel testimony, whereas private investigators are not law enforcement professionals. Therefore, private investigators are forced to get creative in their meticulous investigative techniques in order to gather information that can offer their clients sufficient evidence to support or disprove their claims.
Scope of Services
Generally speaking, police investigation services are limited to offences that are identified as crimes in South Africa. This means that private investigators are able to work on a broader scope of services, such as:
- Domestic/matrimonial investigations
- Investigations into individual activity
- Evidence gathering for adultery/infidelity suits
- Substance abuse suspicions
The South African Police Department is limited to an annual, tax-funded budget. This unfortunately means that some cases are not given the required resources needed to solve the case. The amount of cases also plays a big role, as there is often not enough time to be dedicated to individual cases. Private investigators, however, are paid by their clients. This gives them the opportunity to dedicate much-required resources and time in order to handle and solve each and every investigation.

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

How much does it cost to claim against an estate?
In Queensland, there was a perception for a long time that the estate covered the costs for both the successful and unsuccessful parties when claiming against the estate. This is not necessarily the case.
In most instances, the estate covers the costs of the successful party, and in some cases, the unsuccessful party has to pay the legal costs to the estate, but this isn't always the case. In Queensland, the issue of costs is at the discretion of the court. The Court will often discourage a claim if it feels the estate is too small and encourages it to be settled out of court. This prevents the estate from being eroded by legal fees, which can happen if the matter needs to be settled in the court system.
Recent cases in Queensland have seen The Court take the conduct of the claimant into consideration when awarding costs rather than just whether they were successful or not.
It is important to follow the correct process when claiming against an estate. If you have further questions on how to make a claim against an estate click here.
We provide a detailed analysis of your claim before commencing proceedings, so you are fully aware of your legal position and potential costs involved. If you would like more information on this important subject, please contact us.

I have a SQL statement like the following:
const string sql = @"UPDATE PLATYPUS
ocmd.Parameters.Add("ListOfInts",??WhatNow??);
How can I provide the comma separated list of ints, which could be any (reasonable*) number of values
 - By "reasonable" in this case I mean between one and a couple dozen.

why not stored the values in a string separated by comma? – Waqar Janjua Jul 16 '12 at 16:16

Try something like this:
ocmd.Parameters.Add("ListOfInts", String.Join(",",myList.ToArray());
The String.Join method takes all elements in an array and places the specified character between them.

Why was this accepted as the answer? You can't really do it this way. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 20:20
His question: How can I provide the comma separated list of ints... How does this not answer his question? – Abe Miessler Jan 3 at 21:23
Because the correct answer is: It can't be done this way! You can't provide a single parameter that will work in an IN clause with a string parameter. A table-valued parameter might work, a string parameter will not work. Now, I understand that you answered the question that was asked, but my point is that you need to answer the question that was implied: how to make this work. Answer: It can't. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 23:12
Alright, fair enough. – Abe Miessler Jan 3 at 23:17
add comment
You can't, you have to create some helper function that replaces :ListOfInts with ( for example ) :I0,:I1,:I2... and pass the parameter by adding one by one in code. The function you want is gracefully emulated by Dapper.Net in its list support.
share|improve this answer
This answer is correct, as opposed to the accepted one and other 3-upvoted one. You can of course use a bunch of parameters, and inject those, basically getting an SQL like where id in (_USER_, _USER_, _USER_,...). Also there are Table-valued parameters now, but I don't know if/how they can be leveraged to actually use 1 parameter to specify the list of "IN"-values to match against. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 20:26
add comment
Use the Join method of string on the Array of Ints. You can mention comma as the seperator
List ints = new List();
string concatenatedIds= string.Join(",", ints.ToArray());
The output (value in concatenatedIds) will be 4,6,2. You can use that string as the parameter value for your IN clause
share|improve this answer
While this will add a parameter just fine, it will not work with an in (_USER_) clause in the SQL. Parameters doesn't work that way. Wishful thinking, I know, but no. – Lasse V. Karlsen Jan 3 at 20:27
add comment
I think the only possible solution is to pass comma-separated values, which you can convert to a table in SQL using a function. Here is the function I am using
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.CSVToList (_USER_ varchar(3000))
 RETURNS _USER_ TABLE (Value varchar(30))
 Value varchar(30)
 _USER_ varchar(30),
 _USER_ int
 SET _USER_ = LTRIM(RTRIM(_USER_))+ ','
 SET _USER_ = CHARINDEX(',', _USER_, 1)
 IF REPLACE(_USER_, ',', '') <> ''
 WHILE _USER_ > 0
 SET _USER_ = LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(_USER_, _USER_ - 1)))
 IF _USER_ <> ''
 INSERT INTO _USER_ (Value) VALUES (_USER_)
 SET _USER_ = RIGHT(_USER_, LEN(_USER_) - _USER_)
 INSERT _USER_
and you can use the following code (for example) to perform operations:
DECLARE _USER_ varchar(100)
SET _USER_ = '30,32,34,36,40'
 ProductID IN (SELECT * FROM dbo.CSVToLIst(_USER_))
I took the code from here: _URL_
Hope it helps.

I forgot to say that you have to use the String.join method to aggregate all values and then pass them as parameters to the SQL code. – Umar Jamil Jul 16 '12 at 16:14

The best way to handle this is to keep the list in the database, such that you could write a select query to return the values in your list. The question is, how can you do this when the data originates at the client? Most of the time, this data is hand-picked by the user, one record at a time. In that case, you can use a table (think: "shopping cart") that adds records for the values one at a time, as the user selects them. If it's more of a batch job, you may want to use a BulkInsert process to create the records.

You don't state which database you are using, but if it is SQL Server 2008+ you may also want to consider Table Valued Parameters.
For your example the added complexity may not be worthwhile, but they can be useful in other scenarios.

Qt Reference Documentation
QML Repeater Element
The Repeater element allows you to repeat an Item-based component using a model. More...
Inherits Item
 - List of all members, including inherited members
 - Properties
 Detailed Description
 The Repeater element is used to create a large number of similar items. Like other view elements, a Repeater has a model and a delegate: for each entry in the model, the delegate is instantiated in a context seeded with data from the model. A Repeater item is usually enclosed in a positioner element such as Row or Column to visually position the multiple delegate items created by the Repeater.
 import Qt 4.7
 Row {
 Repeater {
 model: 3
 Rectangle {
 width: 100; height: 40
 border.width: 1
 color: "yellow"
 The model of a Repeater can be any of the supported Data Models.
 Row {
 Repeater {
 model: 10
 The index and modelData properties
 The index of a delegate is exposed as an accessible index property in the delegate. Properties of the model are also available depending upon the type of Data Model.
 Here is a Repeater that uses the index property inside the instantiated items:
 Column {
 Repeater {
 model: 10
 Text { text: "I'm item " + index }
 Here is another Repeater that uses the modelData property to reference the data for a particular index:
 Column {
 Repeater {
 Text { text: "Data: " + modelData }
 Considerations when using Repeater
 The Repeater element creates all of its delegate items when the repeater is first created. This can be inefficient if there are a large number of delegate items and not all of the items are required to be visible at the same time. If this is the case, consider using other view elements like ListView (which only creates delegate items when they are scrolled into view) or use the Dynamic Object Creation methods to create items as they are required.
 Item {
 //XXX does not work! Can't repeat QtObject as it doesn't derive from Item.
 Repeater {
 model: 10
 QtObject {}
 Property Documentation
 read-onlycount : int
 This property holds the number of items in the repeater.
 defaultdelegate : Component
 The delegate provides a template defining each item instantiated by the repeater. The index is exposed as an accessible index property. Properties of the model are also available depending upon the type of Data Model.
 model : any
 The model providing data for the repeater.
 This property can be set to any of the following:
 - A number that indicates the number of delegates to be created
 - A string list
 - An object list
 In each case, the data element and the index is exposed to each instantiated component. The index is always exposed as an accessible index property. In the case of an object or string list, the data element (of type string or object) is available as the modelData property. In the case of a Qt model, all roles are available as named properties just like in the view classes.
 As a special case the model can also be merely a number. In this case it will create that many instances of the component. They will also be assigned an index based on the order they are created.
 Models can also be created directly in QML, using a ListModel or XmlListModel.

To use FILESTREAM feature both Windows administrator and SQL Server administrator have to enable it. While enabling from Windows there are three options to choose from:
- Enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL Access check box.
- Enable FILESTREAM for file I/O streaming access. This is to read and write FILESTREAM data from Windows. Enter the name of the Windows share in the Windows Share Name box.
- Select Allow remote clients to have streaming access to FILESTREAM data. This is to let remote clients access the FILESTREAM data stored on this share.
For SQL Server instance there are three options to choose from:
- 0 – Disable FILESTREAM support for this instance
- 1 – enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL access only
- 2 – enable FILESTREAM for Transact-SQL and Win32 streaming access
Note that FILESTREAM would perform worse for 1MB+ size files for full read/write if Transact-SQL is chosen (and Win32 streaming is not chosen) than no FILESTREAM BLOB.
Now that FILESTREAM is enabled, we can go ahead to do the rest of the setups.
First, create a file group to keep the FILESTREAM data. There is a 1:1 mapping between data containers and file groups.
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase ADD FILEGROUP MyFileStreamGroup1 CONTAINS FILESTREAM;
Second, define data container. In the below example, "D:\Production" must exist already. "D:\Production\FileStreamDataContainerRoot" is going to be the root of the data container.
ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase ADD FILE ( NAME = FileStreamGroup1File, FILENAME = 'D:\Production\FileStreamDataContainerRoot') TO FILEGROUP MyFileStreamGroup1 ;
Third, create a table with a FILESTREAM column. All FILESTREAM columns of a table must go to a single FILESTREAM group that can be specified, defaulting to default FILESTREAM filegroup. Table must have a column of the non-null uniqueidentifier data type with ROWGUIDCOL attribute and either a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY single-column constraint. FILESTREAM data container will have a directory for a table with subdirectory corresponding to the FILESTREAM column of the table.
USE MyDatabase ; GO CREATE TABLE TableWithFileStreamColumn ( DocumentID INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY, Document VARBINARY (MAX) FILESTREAM NULL, DocGUID UNIQUEIDENTIFIER NOT NULL ROWGUIDCOL UNIQUE DEFAULT NEWID ()) FILESTREAM_ON MyFileStreamGroup1;

The legend says that the healing water was found by the castle's hunters. When they were hunting in the districts of Košnica and Dobrina, one of them felt sick and he was dragged along the snow towards the road to Dobrina, from where he would be taken by horses to Žusemje Castle. Amongst a large area of snow, they saw a patch of land and water which was not frozen. The sick person was given that water to drink and soon he got well.
Many other stories about the miraculous healing of people who drank that water originated later. After those legends, which represent the oldest data on the healing powers of the water in Dobrina, the name DOBRINA CASTLE SPRING originated.
The settlement of Dobrina is an excellent starting point for a walk to nearby Žusem located on the 669 m high rise where two churches stand, the first one is the Parish Church of St. Valentine, however, the second one is the 700 year old established Church of St. Jacob, which has valuable preserved frescoes from the 15th and 16th century and chandeliers made of local glass. In the nearby small village of Tinje, the archaeological finds Tinje and the remains of the sunken Žamerk Castle are located. Here, objects from the late Antique and Early Slavic period were found. In Javoršica the partisan hospital is still preserved. You can get additional information at Društvo Izviri (Springs Association).

Hawaiian language online
About Hawaiian diacritical marks
The Hawaiian language uses two diacritical markings. The okina is a glottal stop, similar to the sound between the syllables of "oh-oh." In print, the correct mark for designating an okina is the single open quote mark. The kahako is a macron, which lengthens and adds stress to the marked vowel. For example 'pau,' depending on placement of okina and kahako, can mean completed, smudge, moist or skirt.
The State of Hawaii and University of Hawaii strongly encourage use of Hawaiian diacritical markings. (See UH Style Guide.) Technology, however, is still catching up.
Choose the level of Hawaiian font display
Depending on your browser, operating system and installed fonts, you may be able to display Hawaiian diacritical marks. If not, they will generally appear as boxes or question marks. In that case, you can choose either to use a foot mark (') as an approximation of the okina or display text without diacritical marks.
Your setting selection will be maintained for this browser and this session only.
- Display no diacritical markings
- Use the footmark () for the okina, but do not display macrons
- Show all diacritical markings
Click on the links above and watch the demo text below change. If you see boxes instead of diacritical marks, you do not have the fonts installed and should turn off the diacritical option for your session.

The University of Hawaii System consists of 10 campuses, 7 community colleges and 3 university level campuses. The Manoa campus, on the island of Oahu, is the flagship campus with more than 18,000 students enrolled.
