I have created an Java web application and deployed it on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. It;s working fine with its database.
Now, in my project users have the option to upload documents, pdfs and images. This is creating problems. In the local system I am using./ as the path for saving uploaded documents but on Amazon I don't know where to store these uploaded documents and how to assign a path.
So far I've done the following, which is all working okay.
 1. Uploaded a project on AWS Elastic Beanstalk.
 2. Created a database using AWS RDS.
 3. Both application and database are communicating with each other.

Is there a special reason for storing files in RDS?
for storing files I suggest you use S3 instead of RDS. Use the amazon SDK to do it, see,%20java.lang.String,,
Of course, your file-saving code should be pluggable, with at least two implementations. One implementation saving the file to the local disk and another for storing it in S3. your startup code should wire the correct implementation.
share|improve this answer
yes once you store it in (AWS) S3 bucket, get the credential details of it and create a credentials file
Much easier! :)

Jeffery Lagarias, in his recent article Euler's constant: Euler's work and modern developments in the AMS Bulletin, mentions that Euler obtained $\zeta(3)={{2\pi^3 b(3/2)}\over 3}$ for some "Bernoulli function" $b(z)$ in Section 2.4 ("Zeta values") of his article.
Lagarias also mentions that Euler similarly obtained a value for $\zeta(5)$ in terms of $b(5/2)$.
Is there any modern article explaining this "Bernoulli function $b(z)$?

I found something on Wikipedia: _URL_ It is written that $$ b\left( s \right) = 2e^{\frac{\pi }{2}is} \int_0^{ + \infty } {\frac{{st^s }}{{1 - e^{2\pi t} }}\frac{{dt}}{t}} $$ and $b\left( {2n} \right) = B_{2n}$ for any $n>0$, where $B_k$ is the $k$th Bernoulli number. Also $$ \zeta \left( 3 \right) = \frac{{2\pi ^3 b\left( 3 \right)}}{{3i}},\quad \zeta \left( 5 \right) = \frac{{2i\pi ^5 b\left( 5 \right)}}{{15}}. $$

In Vegetable Literacy, Deborah Madison reveals the surprising relationships between vegetables, edible flowers and herbs within the same botanical families, and how understanding these connections can help home cooks see everyday vegetables in a new light.
This groundbreaking new cookbook celebrates the diversity of the plant kingdom. Destined to become the new standard reference for cooking vegetables, it shows cooks that, because of their shared characteristics, vegetables within the same family can be used interchangeably in cooking. It presents an entirely new way of looking at vegetables, drawing on Madison's deep knowledge of cooking, gardening and botany. For example, knowing that dill, chervil, cumin, parsley, coriander, anise, lovage and caraway come from the umbellifer family makes it clear why they're such good matches for carrots, also a member of that family. With more than 300 classic and exquisitely simple recipes, Madison brings this wealth of information together in dishes that highlight a world of complementary flavors. The recipes showcase combinations that are simultaneously familiar and revelatory, such as:
Inspiring improvisation in the kitchen and curiosity in the garden, Vegetable Literacy will forever change the way we eat and cook.

 You need to join these two datasets together to make one dataset. The easiest way to do this is with Magic ETL. The below example shows you more than just joining, but the idea is that you can use the join tile to join your two datasets together. You would join on week. You might want to review this KB article to better understand the different types of joins if you are unfamiliar with the concept.
 - GrantSmith
 GrantSmith Indiana 🟤
 Hi _USER_
 alternatively you can use a data set view to join your two datasets together.
 another option to think about might be instead of joining your data together you UNION / stack your data together such that you have
 Demo | 1 | 3
 Create | 1 | 10
 - jaeW_at_Onyx
 jaeW_at_Onyx Budapest / Portland, OR 🟤
 Sorry _USER_ and _USER_ hard disagree.
 Don't JOIN the data. APPEND them.
 If you get to the point where you have multiple rows per week OR if dataset 1 is at a different granularity than dataset2 then you end up with row growth (because you're JOINING) and you have to crazy math to 'SUM DISTINCT).
 1) add a constant "Activity Type" to each dataset so you know what type of metric you're dealing with
 2) duplicate the date column and call it "Activity Date" for both datasets. (then use Activity Date in Analyzer).
 3) UNION the data

Contributory Value of Farm Buildings
Contributory Value of Farm Buildings
Bins 2017julyblog 002 74985eb187e3c
While new construction costs can be estimated from local contractors, determining the value of existing buildings is much more difficult. The tough question is how much are the old buildings worth? To determine value we need to think about what the building was designed for, whether it is still useful for that original intended use, or if it could possibly be used for something else. Each type of building has unique considerations when making these assessments.
A grain bin is an easy one. It is designed to store grain. Is it large enough that a producer would still want to use it? Does it have aeration fans or drying fans? Does it have unload augers? Once some of these questions are answered then the condition of the bin is looked at to see if there are maintenance issues that need to be fixed.
A study was conducted of many improved farm sales. The study indicated the grain bins contributed $0.20 to $0.80 per bushel. This is a large range in value. The newer, larger bins contributed the most value while smaller, older bins were at the low end of the range. Small bins without unload augers or aeration fans did not contribute any value to the farm sales, even if they were in use.
Machine sheds can be difficult. With modern farm equipment getting larger year after year, the size of the building is an important factor. Is the building tall enough to accommodate a combine or large piece of tillage equipment? Are the height and width of the door large enough for the equipment? Once these factors are determined, the condition of the building can be considered.
A similar study as the grain bins was conducted of machine sheds and resulted in a range from $0.50 to over $4.00 per square foot. The size of the buildings and the door opening size are important factors in the values. Machine sheds with a concrete floor are typically near the high end of the range.

Design and ASIC Implementation of Root Raised Cosine Filter
Raised cosine filter is a FIR filter that can be used to counter many problems of communication such as the Inter symbol interference. The rectangular pulse occupies a large bandwidth so an alternative to rectangular pulse is a sinc pulse, which reduces the bandwidth and inter symbol interference. The rectangular pulse is passed through the root cosine filter a set of FIR filters to pulse shape the pulses to sinc. The specification of the root raised cosine FIR filter considered in this design is sampling frequency of 15.36 MHz and the cutoff frequency of 1.92 MHz, which is suitable to 3G-WCDMA.

What Does Duck and Weave Mean?
Duck and Weave Meaning
Definition: To move from side to side, bobbing up and down.
People often move this way when trying to navigate through a large crowd. This expression describes a type of motion.
Origin of Duck and Weave
The verb duck predates the animal duck, although the two are related. One meaning of duck means to dive. The animal is named for the diving motion it makes through the water, and how it bobs its head in and out of the water.
Another meaning of duck is avoid a blow by moving down quickly. This meaning of duck appears in the literal meaning of the expression duck and weave, which describes a motion common in boxing.
In the sport of boxing, the athletes will move their head up and down, and move their bodies from side to side, trying to avoid the other boxer's punches.
Nowadays, people still use this expression for boxing, but also for anything with a similar motion.
Examples of Duck and Weave
duck and weave boxing duck and weave Here is an example of a teacher using the expression in a math class.
Teacher: Okay, class is finished. Don't forget to turn in your homework. Hey, you, stop ducking and weaving through your classmates. I see you trying to escape through the crowd without giving me your homework.
Student: I'm sorry, but I forgot to do it. I thought you might not notice if I escaped the classroom before you saw me leave.
Teacher: Well, next time don't move in such an obvious way. Uh, I mean, next time just finish your homework.
what does ducked mean In this example, two friends are coming back home from a party.
Monica: I think I'm done going to parties that are at nightclubs.
Janice: How come? Didn't you have fun?
Monica: Yes, I enjoyed the music and seeing my friends, but the dance floor was too crowded. There was no room to move freely to dance. I felt like I was just ducking and weaving through the crowd all night.
More Examples
This excerpt is from an article that questions the safety of dog parks. It describes the movement of a family pet.
 - Kyle Hurt and his 6-year-old son, Mason, lounged on a bench watching their energetic boxer, Jersey, duck and weave around a feisty Australian shepherd in the Hound Hill dog park near Quebec and Lincoln streets. –Denver Post
The second excerpt shows a food critic describing his walk through a restaurant.
 - My guest and I duck and weave through the crowd as we follow the hostess to our table. The dining room is just as loud. It's an echo chamber of shouted conversation and the uniquely screechy mating calls of the tequila-infused. –OC Register
The phrase duck and weave comes from the sport of boxing and describes the motion the boxer makes to avoid blows.
People now use it to describe the same type of motion when used in other activities, such as walking through a crowd.

Definitions for capitonym
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word capitonym
A word that changes sound and meaning when the case is changed; a case-sensitive word.
Origin: capital + -onym
A capitonym is a word that changes its meaning when it is capitalized; the capitalization usually applies due to one form being a proper noun or eponym. It is a portmanteau of the word capital with the suffix -onym. A capitonym is a form of homograph and – when the two forms are pronounced differently – also of heteronym. In situations where both words should be capitalized, there will be nothing to distinguish between them except the context in which they are used. Although some pairs, such as march and March, are completely unrelated, in other cases, such as august and catholic, the capitalized form is a name that is etymologically related to the uncapitalized form. For example, August derives from the name of Imperator Augustus, who named himself after the word augustus, whence English august came. Likewise, both Catholic and catholic derive from a Greek adjective meaning "universal". Capital letters may be used to differentiate between a set of objects, and a particular example of that object. For instance in Astronomical terminology a distinction may be drawn between a moon, any natural satellite, and the Moon, to be specific the natural satellite of Earth. Likewise, Sun with a capital may be used to emphasise that the sun of Earth is under discussion.

North east pet owners urged to record cat activity
Cat owners are being asked to record what their pets catch in terms of small animals. Picture: Complimentary
Have your say
PET owners are being urged to record precisely what their cats drag in as part of a pioneering project to record the species of mammals spread across the north east of Scotland.
The bizarre survey has been launched to help in the creation of a Mammal Atlas for Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray and the Cairngorms National Park.
Cat owners across the area are being asked to record the various animals their beloved felines bring in through the cat flap. And the survey organisers are even planning to host two "Look What the Cat Brought In" events to help moggy owners to identify the various mammals.which have fallen prey to their pets.
A spokeswoman for Aberdeenshire Council explained: "The North East Scotland Biological Records Centre (NESBReC) is compiling the Mammal Atlas for 2015 but is appealing for help from local walkers, pet owners and animal lovers.
"Small mammals are particularly under recorded and taking a note of what the cat catches and takes home is a very useful way of compiling the data."
She added: "A survey by the Mammal Society in 2001 found that the average household cat can catch up to 40 creatures a year. Mice tend to be the most popular mammal prey, followed by voles and shrews. Larger mammals, such as rabbits,weasels, stoats and squirrels were also recorded. Cats can roam up to over half a mile away each night and have a home range of 28 hectares (70 acres).
"Records of the animals that cats have caught could be the only way for NESBReC to get information on mammals in certain areas."
Councillor Isobel Davidson, the chair of Aberdeenshire Council's Education, Learning and Leisure Committee, said:"The Mammal Atlas is an important project for the north-east of Scotland and I am glad to see NESBReC coming up with interesting and engaging ways for people to get involved.
"It might be unpleasant when the cat brings an animal into the house, but now at least it can be a useful indicator of the mammals living in your area."
Glenn Roberts, the NESBReC manager, said: "We really welcome everyone in the North east of Scotland to get involved in the creation of a Mammal Atlas. The most common species are often overlooked, and even if you have never looked at mammals before, it is easy to get involved in recording wildlife and photos are always welcomed."
Pet owners are being asked to record what species their cat dragged in, and where and when they saw it.
The spokeswoman added: "Pictures can be sent to NESBReC even if you are not sure what the mammal is."
NESBReC is a partnership between Aberdeenshire Council, Aberdeen City Council, Scottish Natural Heritage, the University of Aberdeen, the RSPB and Forestry Commission Scotland.

Calculation, Effects & Applications of Hydraulic Jump
By: Haseeb Jamal / On: Feb 14, 2017 / Definition, Fluid Mechanics
In order to describe the super critical flow and sub critical flow, there is need to define the Froude number. Froude number can be defined as the velocity divided by the square root of gravitational constant multiplied by the depth. It is dimensionless quantity.
F = V/ vG x D
Where V is velocity of water, D is depth of flow of water and G is gravitational constant. Froude number is an indicator of resistance of object moving in the water. If the Froude number is less than 1, then the flow of water is said to be as the sub critical flow. While if the Froude number is greater than 1, then the flow of water is said to be as the super critical flow. If it is equal to 1, then flow is said to be as the critical flow. As sub critical flow of water is reflection of slow moving deep water. On the other hand super critical flow is indicator of fast moving shallow water. Super critical flow is unstable form of flow whiles the sub critical is stable one
Now move toward the hydraulic jump, it can be defined as rise in the level of water when the water transforms its super critical form into the sub critical one i.e. from unstable state to the stable one. This phenomenon can be observed on spillways of the dam. As it's the nature of water to gain its stability after it is being unstable. The place where hydraulic jump occurs, a lot of energy is dissipated in the form of heat energy. We can say that hydraulic jump is dissipator of extra energy of water. This phenomenon is usually used in spillways of the dam to reduce the erosive power of super critical flow. Otherwise it will affect the dam structure.
Calculation of hydraulic jump:
Height of hydraulic jump can be calculated by the formula:
Y2 - Y1
Hydraulic Jump
Where Y1 is depth of flow on the sub critical side, while Y2 is depth of flow after the hydraulic jump. It can be illustrated with the help of diagram.
We can say that Y1 is depth at the state of stable sub critical while on the other hand Y2 is the height of the flow after the hydraulic jump.Y1 can be calculated easily. While Y2 can be calculated by the formula:
Y1/2 + vY12/4 + 2Y1 x V12/g
Effect of Hydraulic Jump
It is very common in the field of hydraulics to use hydraulic jump. It is used to perform different functions. Some of the effects of the hydraulic jump are as under:
 - Actually the hydraulic jump usually acts as the energy dissipator. It clears the surplus energy of water.
 - Due to the hydraulic jump, many noticeable able disturbances are created in the flowing water like eddies, reverse flow.
 - Usually when the hydraulic jump takes place, the considerable amount of air is trapped in the water. That air can be helpful in removing the wastes in the streams that are causing pollution.
 - Hydraulic jump also make the work of different hydraulic structures, effective like weirs, notches and flumes etc.
Applications of Hydraulic Jump:
 1. Usually hydraulic jump reverses the flow of water. This phenomenon can be used to mix chemicals for water purification.
 2. Hydraulic jump usually maintains the high water level on the down stream side. This high water level can be used for irrigation purposes.
 3. Hydraulic jump can be used to remove the air from water supply and sewage lines to prevent the air locking.
 4. It prevents the scouring action on the down stream side of the dam structure.

++Mind vs Body in programming Is Dualism the future of programming? I like the RubyLanguage. Yet, I feel strange with the motto "In Ruby everything is an object". On the contrary I believe it is useful to pretend that some "things" are Objects and some other "things" are Values. Maybe I am not a Materialist. Let me explain. + Objects vs Values What is the difference between an Object and a Value? It's like the difference between material things and immaterial ideas. Objects must live in some body/place/container, whereas Values can live in multiple "minds" simultaneously. ++ Objects As I first read in a Grady Booch book a long long time ago, an Object has 3 main characteristics: # an *Identity*. A unique /identifier/ that makes it possible to "reference" a specific unique Object # a *State*, that can be represented using a *Value*. That state/value may or may not change over time # a *Behavior*, that defines how the Object will react when some "method" is invoked. Often the behavior depends on the "class" of the object (the "class" is part of the value). ++ Values Example of values include so called /primitive/ values like integers and floating point numbers, strings, dates. Some languages extend the notion to tables, lists, records, etc. But the notion of *value semantics* goes deeper, it relates to the idea that a value is an "in extenso" description of something (whereas a an object is that something itself). Values exist the way ideas exists, not the way a physical thing exist. Values are... # are *immutable*. They cannot change, they cannot "mutate". That means that the Value's value never changes! If string "ABC" is a value, then "ABD" is a different value. There is no way "ABC" can turn into "ABD". # are intrinsically *unique*. Integer 3 "exists" once only, there are no two integers 3, there never will. Values are neither created nor destroyed, they simply are, always have been and always will be. # are *self-identified*. Ie. the Value's identity is the Value itself. ++ An over simplification? Because Object Oriented languages use objects to represent values, they kind of hide the difference between Objects and Values. Everything becomes an Object. This is presented as an advantage. It is some kind of an "unification", a beautiful simplication. Well... really? Maybe it is an over simplification. I am asking because some of these languages later reintroduce the notion of "value semantics". Sometimes there are two "equality" operators. One for identity equality (are two object identifiers referencing the same object?). Another one for Value equality (are two objects representing the same value?). Some other times there will be a String class for example, and a MutableString class (or a StringBuffer/StringBuilder class maybe). As a result Values become second class citizen. They become a special case among all objects, the Immutable Object case. So, yes one can represent a value using an object, but the ideal/immaterial essence of the value gets lost. Why does this matter? + Only Values are multi-core friendly We are entering a time where parallel processing is becoming increasingly necessary to improve performances. That is why the distinction between Values and Objects is relevant. Values are friendly in a distributed non shared environment: # Values are light and fast. Values are naturaly cacheable. A value's computerized representation can be copied as much as one wants, there will never be a need to synchonize the copies. As a result accessing values is local, hence fast. # Mutable Objects are heavy and slow. Objects need a "home". That is the place where the object is stored. The place is not ubiquitous, it hosts the true and only Object. If there exists local cached proxies, they must be kept in synch with each others somehow, and this is costly. Functional programming, like in ErlangLanguage for example, is a nice thing. But pure functional programming, with no side effects, with only immutable values instead, is... a brutal paradigm shift, at best. Are we going to forget about Object Oriented Programming? I don't think so. ++ The Fertile Paradox of OO Languages Some languages have both "by value" and "by reference" parameter passing schemes. But "Pure" object oriented languages are expected to provide only one mechanism: a "by reference" parameter passing, where references are object identifiers. The difference between "by value" and "by reference" becomes of paramount importance when the caller and the callee live in two different address spaces, maybe on two different computers. Cannotical Object Oriented languages have only "by reference". But, but, at some implementation level they actually pass Values: Object Identifiers. ++ Object Identifiers are Values! That passed Value is the /id/ of an object, a /reference/ to it. That's an added level of indirection. Call it an Oid, a Pointer, call it a Reference, at the end it is a kind of Value (hence immutable, unique, self identified). But these languages deny the existence of such values, claiming that "everything is an object". Maybe "everything is an object" but then what is the reference to an object? Is it an object or a value? That is where there is a paradox: If everything is an object, then what kind of object is a "reference to an object"? The truth is that not everything is an object, because references to objects are not objects, they are Values. ++ Nice consequence As a consequence, a language claiming "In xxxx everything is an object" seems extreme to me. I want something in between, where there are Objects and Values, with a clear understanding about what these two species of data have to offer. That request is legitimate, because Values are not second class citizen. I bet I am not alone. Future languages will provide native support for Objects /and/ Values. Some possibilities include: * *Thing Oriented Programming* would be the Top. In such a programming orientation, Value is the norm and Object the exception, versus the opposite in Object Oriented Programming. * A *Value* base class and mixin. To make it super easy to create objects with value semantics. * An *value* method. It would freeze forever the value of an object, so that further processing can optimize things and treat the object as if it were a value, an immaterial idea versus an material thing. It is the _TAG_ Ruby method. There even exists an evil _TAG_ * A *incarn* method. That would create a *new* mutable object from an idealized value. Is it the _TAG_ Ruby method? * A *value?* method. That tells apart objects from values. Like Ruby _TAG_? maybe? Maybe, probably, some languages already offer these possibilites. I get to find them. ----- Ressources: * B. J. MacLennan.

How to run npm Behind A Proxy Server - a step-by-step guide
You might need to modify npm install commands that access remote repositories (npmjs, for example) for installing Node JS modules; if your internet access is through a proxy server.
Proxy servers are common in college and business type environments.
You can locate your proxy settings from your browser's settings panel.
Using Proxy with NPM
Once you have obtained the proxy settings (server URL, port, username and password); you need to configure your npm configurations as follows.
$ npm config set proxy http://:@:
$ npm config set https-proxy http://:@:
You would have to replace , , , with the values specific to your proxy server credentials.
These fields are optional. For instance, your proxy server might not even require and , or that it might be running on port 80 (in which case is not required).
Once you have set these, your npm install, npm i -g etc. would work properly.
When Not to Use
You should not have to use npm commands with proxy settings, if either of the following happens:
 - Your system administrator or corporate policy does not allow you to access remote npm repositories from NPM-JS, for instance.
 - The remote repository of Node modules in question is not in your machine, but it's within the internal network.
Unset Proxy Settings
Use this blog post to unset your proxy settings. You can also manually remove the lines specifying your proxy settings from your.npmrc file.

I've read that July of 1916 was the sunniest month ever recorded in Chicago, logging 95 percent of possible sunshine. Did the sunshine recorders in use then follow use today's standards?
--George Ballas, Morton Grove
Retired Chicago weather observer Paul Kubecka found that the instrument for measuring solar irradiance in 1916, the Maring-Marvin sunshine recorder (in use in Chicago until 1953) was less sensitive than today's version. It required.37 langleys to initiate the recording of sunshine compared with to the current World Meteorological Organization standard of.17 langleys. It also had a slower response time, taking up to 10 minutes before beginning to log sunshine at sunrise and sunset and during passing cloudy intervals. If weather conditions were identical, today's instrument would have recorded a higher sunshine percentage than the 1916 version.


Researchers hope their findings will help men who may have heard that they're supposed to be thinking about sex all day to feel normal.

A study of college students may help dispel the idea that men think about sex every seven seconds. According to the findings, it's more like once every hour.
The men in the study reported thinking about sex an average of 19 times a day. If they were really thinking about sex every seven seconds, that would be over 8,000 times in a 16-hour waking day. Women in the study reportedly had sex on their mind only ten times a day. So according to the study, men do think about sex twice as often as women.
The study did not address how often subjects actually had sex -- just how often they thought about it. These are self-reported findings, but who ever lies about sex?
The study also looked at how often the students thought about other biological needs. Once again men had food (18 times a day compared to 15) and sleep (11 times a day compared to 8.5) on their minds more often than women. So men do seem to be a bit closer to their caveman roots.
The study also found that when it comes to thinking about sex, there's no such thing as one size fits all. People varied widely in how often their mind was on it. The high for men was 388 thoughts per day while the low was just one thought. Women ranged from one thought to 140 per day.
The study looked at 283 college students aged 18-25. One hundred sixty three were women and 120 were men. They all recorded how often they thought about sex, food, and sleep each day for one week, using a golf tally counter.
The best predictor of how often people thought about sex was not whether they were male or female, but how comfortable they were with sexuality. The more comfortable they were, the more they thought about sex.
The researchers hope the findings will ease the fears of men who might have heard that they're supposed to be thinking about sex every seven seconds and feel substandard because they don't. And they also hope it will help women who think about sex more often than their peers be more comfortable with themselves.
An article on the study appears in the Journal of Sex Research.

Advisor Project Structure
The organization in which Advisor presents the project objects reflects the organization of the associated application.
Project objects that define the overall appearance and functionality of the application are considered application-level objects. These application-level objects include the Application UI Definition file and a contents list table.
The application presents information related to one or more categories. Advisor groups all of the project objects related to a single category into a pageset.
Within each pageset, the project objects are organized into two categories: data objects and interface objects. Each data object is further classified as a feature data object or a configuration data object. The feature data and configuration data objects are Feature tables and Configuration tables respectively. The interface objects within a pageset are the Pageset UI Definition file and the Pageset UI Registry file.
Every pageset in an application, at a minimum, contains the following items:
- A Pageset UI Definition file (oc_default_ui.htm)
- A Pageset UI Registry file (pCar_i.htm)
- At least one Configuration table
- One or more Feature tables
- One or more display pages

This paper analyses customer satisfaction with services of the Sokoine National Agricultural Library (SNAL) using a mixed method approach. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected using questionnaire and interviews, which were supplemented by document analysis. A total of 72 respondents were selected using simple random and purposive sampling procedures. Data were analysed descriptively and were presented in tables, pie charts and percentages. The expectancy-disconfirmation theory with Four-Level Zone of Tolerance (ZoT) developed by Oliver (1980) guided data analysis in this study.
Findings indicate that leaning materials and services provided by SNAL are relatively sufficient due to satisfaction level of majority of customers being over 50%. This shows that the library has relevant learning materials which mostly meet users' satisfaction. However, some respondents showed dissatisfaction with challenges they faced in accessing library resources due to: poor arrangement of books in shelves that made users to spend a lot of time in searching materials, lack of adequate security in the Library that made some users' properties in their bags temporarily kept in the library being stolen and lack of good customer care practices from some library staff.
The study recommends the factors prompting users' dissatisfaction be addressed so as to regain customers' satisfaction and loyalty to the library.

Water and phosphorus (P) are two critical resources for high nature value farming in semi-dry mountains.
ey are major drivers of grassland productivity but can negatively aect plant diversity. Soil moisture
is known to aect soil microbial activity and plant P nutrition but the eects of irrigation on soil P
status, soil microbial P and plant P nutrition in semi-natural grasslands remain largely unexplored, which
impedes the optimization of fertilization. e aim of this study was to assess the mid-term eects of
irrigation on P availability in the soil, the size of the soil microbial P pool and plant P nutrition in semi-dry
mountain grasslands. At the end of a ve-year irrigation-fertilization factorial experiment on eleven seminatural
grasslands of an inner-alpine valley, soil P availability and herbage P content did not signicantly
dier between the irrigated and the not irrigated treatments. Fertilization increased herbage P content
from 2.2 to 3.1 mg P kg-1 dry mass (P<0.001). e size of the microbial P pool remained unaected by
irrigation and fertilization. We conclude that for semi-natural mountain grasslands, no correction factor
for irrigated compared to not irrigated meadows is necessary to estimate the P fertilization requirement
per unit of herbage yield.

How to Pair Apple Watch to iPhone XR
Pairing a new iPhone with your Apple Watch should be an effortless task. You just need an Apple Watch app on your iOS device, and you can automatically pair the two devices.
However, since the XR is the most recent iPhone version, there are still some issues when pairing it with other devices, the Apple Watch included.
There are two methods to pair the iPhone XR and Apple Watch – manually and automatically. This article will guide you through both and offer solutions for some potential pairing issues you may encounter.
Step 1: Prepare Your Watch and Your iPhone
Before you pair the two devices, make sure that they're well-prepared to avoid any inconvenience. These are the things that you need to check:
- Check if your iOS device is working on the latest system version. If it isn't, there's a chance that the system won't recognize the Apple Watch. To prevent this, update your iPhone before you proceed.
- Go to the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap 'Bluetooth.'
- Toggle Bluetooth on.
- Connect to a Wi-Fi or a cellular network.
- Hold the power button on the Apple Watch to turn it on.
- Make sure that both devices have enough battery.
- Move the devices closer to one another to ensure pairing.
Step 2: Pair Your Apple Watch and iPhone
The pairing process should be straightforward. Follow these instructions:
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone XR.
- Press the 'Start Pairing' option. A pairing window should appear on the screen.
- Follow the on-screen instructions closely to pair the devices. You'll need to move the iPhone's camera to the Apple Watch display.
- Once the devices pair, you'll get a notification.
If you fail to pair the devices automatically, you can always use the manual method. It involves a few more steps, but it will ensure that the devices are successfully paired.
- Select the 'i' icon on your Apple Watch screen.
- Check or set a new device name for your watch.
- Select a wrist.
- Hit 'Set Up as New' (or 'Restore from Backup' if you've done this already) on your iPhone.
- Select right or left wrist on your iPhone.
- When prompted, agree to the terms and conditions.
- Enter your Apple ID.
- Allow access to all mandatory apps (Siri, diagnostics, iCloud).
- Set a password for your watch via your iPhone. You can pick between a regular password, long password, or no password at all. If you choose to set a password, you'll need to do it via the Apple Watch.
Once you set everything up, a pop-up window will appear to confirm the setup. After you've done this, your Apple Watch will remain unlocked as long as it's on your wrist. If it's not, you'll have to unlock it again when you put it back on. Also, when you unlock your phone, you'll also unlock the watch.
Step 3: Sync your Apps
When you pair your devices, you may choose to sync all the apps. This way, your watch will download and update all the apps that you already have on your iPhone, albeit in their watch version. If you refuse, you'll be able to install them manually whenever you like.
If you confirm, wait for the devices to sync. It can be a long process, especially if you have plenty of apps on your iPhone. Keep your devices close to each other until the syncing is done.
What If the Devices Won't Connect?
In some instances, the devices may not recognize each other. Usually, a simple restart should help, but there are other solutions you may find useful.
Forget the Apple Watch
If your devices could pair before but suddenly not anymore, you may unpair them and then try again.
- Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone XR.
- Select the 'My Watch' tab.
- Choose your watch.
- Tap the information ('i' icon) next to that watch.
- Select 'Unpair Apple Watch.'
- Press 'Unpair' again to confirm.
- Restart the iPhone and the pairing should start automatically. Keep both devices close and a notification to set up an Apple Watch should appear.
- Select 'Continue.'
If the message doesn't appear, you can open the Apple Watch app and manually select the 'Start Pairing' option.
Reset Connection Settings
Tweaked network settings can interfere with device pairing, especially automatic software updates which usually override the initial settings. You may try to reset these to default and try to pair the devices again.
- Tap on Settings on your iPhone XR.
- Choose 'General.'
- Tap 'Reset.'
- Find 'Reset Network Settings.'
- Enter your ID and password.
- Confirm the network reset.
Back-Up and Restore
Once you unpair the Apple Watch from your iPhone XR, all the apps and data will be erased. You'll have to start everything from scratch and pair the devices again following the instructions from this article.
However, your iPhone XR will keep a backup of all the Apple Watch data, so if you want to restore it after pairing, you may choose this option too. This way, you'll remain secure if you accidentally unpair your devices.
Did you encounter any problems while pairing these two devices? How did you solve them? Share your experiences in the comments below.

Are you referring to multiple logs, or just one log? – NickC Aug 31 '11 at 4:28
1 Answer 1
If you're referring to multiple logs showing the same normal activities, you should say:
The server logs show normal activity
The server logs show the same normal activity
Note that in computing terms, normal activity can be application (and therefore log) specific. The second example shows that several logs show the same result. Whereas the first example shows that several logs might show the same result, but they are all normal.

Essay # 1. Meaning of a Departmental Store:
A departmental store is a large scale retail business institution having a number of departments, each specialising in one kind of merchandise and expected to show profit for the department while remaining as a component of the entire business unit. It is, in a technical sense, a horizontally integrated retail business house with all departments under one roof.
In it, each department is a speciality shop such as textile department, drugs department, books and stationery department, video cassette department, etc. A consumer can hope to get all that he needs in a big departmental store.
That is why, it is remarked that a big departmental, store is a place where different sections or departments deal in articles ranging from 'pin to plane'. Such departmental stores are usually located in the central places of big cities.
Essay # 2. Features of Departmental Stores:
The main features characteristics of a departmental store are:
1. It is mostly organised as a joint stock company. Its organisational head is the board of directors with a managing director or a general manager entrusted with the implementation and execution of the policies and programmes formulated by the board. The General Manager coordinates the activities of various departments as their overall chief.
2. It is generally divided into several major sections to facilitate smooth working of the stores.
The major sections in it are shown below in a chart:
3. As regards the day-to-day working, the departments enjoy independence and freedom but all are owned, managed and controlled centrally.
4. It concentrates in one place opportunities for the satisfaction of innumerable wants of the consumers.
5. Having been located in the central place or shopping centers of a city, a departmental store can attract people from all parts of the city and others who came to the city from outside.
Essay # 3. Essential Conditions for Success in Departmental Stores:
(1) The organisational structure of a departmental stores must be sound enough to facilitate coordination among the departments.
(2) The departmental managers must be given due freedom with respect to their day-to-day activities.
(3) The policies and programmes for the management and control must be uniform for all departments.
(4) The shopping for the consumers, particularly housewives, should be easy through a provision of a whole range of goods belonging to different lines in the same building.
(5) Certain services outside the scope of ordinary business such as car parking, cafeteria, telephone, recreational facilities, etc. should be provided to attract the customers.
Lastly, attractive show-windows, display of products, skilled salesmen, low operating costs, etc. are also the essential factors for the success of a departmental store.
Essay # 4. Organisation Structure of a Departmental Store:
Essay # 5. Advantages of Departmental Stores:
As a form of large-scale retail business institution, the departmental store possesses the following advantages:
1. Economy in Purchases:
As regards the purchasing function, a departmental store plays the role of a wholesaler. It buys goods in bulk direct from the manufacturers, enjoys discounts and rebates and credit facilities, and thereby incurs lower freight charges. This centralised buying lowers down the unit cost prices of the goods. Employment of expert buyers for the departments is possible with a view to achieving economy.
2. Effective Advertising:
Being large in size and having diversity in different lines of products and services, a departmental store can afford to advertise on a bigger scale through press and other media of publicity. It can also decorate its departments with attractive show-windows for display of goods with a view to attracting customers.
3. Increase in Sales Turnover:
Having been located in central positions and in popular shopping centers, people from all parts of the city and others who came to the city from outside patronise the departmental store. Moreover, the consumers can buy their requirements of varied kinds under one roof. These factors lead to increase in the sales turnover.
4. Non-Business Services:
A modern departmental store does not confine itself merely to the business activities concerning the products being dealt in through the departments. Various non-business services like car-parking, cafeteria, telephone and telex, and recreational facilities provide additional advantages and benefits which are of definite attraction to the customers.
Essay # 6. Disadvantages of Departmental Stores:
Inspite of the above-stated advantages, a departmental store suffers from the following limitations or disadvantages:
1. Locational Unsuitability:
Due to expansion in the urban conglomeration, the limits of a city have widened. The centralised location of a departmental store becomes unsuitable to the vast majority of consumers who live at rather long distances from the central parts of the city.
According to J. Stephenson, a departmental store can obtain the shopping trade by being centrally located but the trade in articles of everyday use, which are frequently wanted at short notices, goes to their smaller rivals who are located near the houses of their customers.
2. High Operating Costs:
High rental for the premises because of central location in a city, excessive and exotic non-business services (e.g. cafeteria, telephone, etc.) provided, high salaries and wages to the officials and staff, -higher costs of decoration and maintenance, etc. increase the burden of selling expenses.
These have great impact on the fixation of product selling prices on account of these cost factors, and a departmental store finds it difficult to sell the products at reasonable prices. Thus the customers are mostly restricted to the well-to-do sections of the society.
3. Lack of Personal Element:
Like small retail shops, a departmental store cannot attend to the customers' needs and fancies as the customers are lost in the multitude that gathers in the store. The customers who are interested in personal attention by the salesmen do not prefer a departmental store and rather make their purchases from smaller retail stores.


Scottish Ghillie Brogues by Thistle Shoes
Shoemaker Thistle Scottish Brogues
The origins of Ghillie Brogues stretch back through Scottish history. A'Ghillie' was an indispensable assistant to a Highland chief – carrying hunting rifles or fishing rods. On occasion, he even carried his employer.
Ghillies walked and walked….through the bogs, rivers, bracken, and heather. They scaled the highlands or scrambled through the lowlands. If walking was hard on a man, it was worse for his footwear.
Ghillie Brogues were designed for the work of a Ghillie. A patterned network of fine holes punched in the shoe leather called 'brogueing' allowed any water to drain while walking. Originally, the laces were above the ankle so the shoes wouldn't get stuck in the mud. Thistle Shoes of Scotland makes Ghillie Brogues as they have always been made. Tough as nails – but with a heart of gold. Not unlike the people for whom they're named.
A footnote:
Why call the company "Thistle Shoes? In the Middle Ages, the Scots and the Norsemen were at war. King Haakon of Norway and his men landed at the Coast of Largs at night intent on surprising their Scottish foe. Removing their boots, they crept on bare feet towards the Scottish army. Then one of the attackers stepped on the sharp spines of a Scots thistle. The yell he made at this unwelcome assault on his feet alerted the Scots who drove the attackers from their shore.

What Skills Are Taught in Online Receptionist Classes?
Online receptionist classes teach students to communicate with business professionals, use basic computer applications and perform multiple administrative tasks. Receptionists, secretaries and administrative assistants learn to professionally answer phones, organize business documents and provide quality customer service to clients. Schools offering Administrative Assistant degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Online receptionist courses are generally offered through certificate degree programs. Students can earn Receptionist Certificates, Office Assistant Certificates or Administrative Assistant Certificates. There are also specialty receptionist programs for medical and legal receptionists. Online courses are ideal for receptionist programs because much of a work receptionist's work is computer-based.
Skills Taught in Online Receptionist Classes
Online courses teach students to work with word processing, spreadsheet and online computer applications. Students learn to create simple business documents like memos or inventory checklists. Because receptionists are often responsible for payroll or financial records, online programs teach students basic business math skills.
Students learn how to properly use office equipment like photocopiers, printers and fax machines. Communication with coworkers and customers is a key aspect of a receptionist's work, so students learn to maximize their written and verbal communication skills. Students also learn basic business principles that allow them to work in many areas of business. Specialty courses in medical or legal administration teach skills in medical and legal terminology, procedures and transcription.
Duties of Receptionists
Receptionists are responsible for recording messages, providing basic contact or business information, clerical organization and administrative scheduling. Using computer applications, receptionists perform data entry and communication tasks. Depending on the type of business, receptionists can be responsible for greeting and assisting customers who visit the office. Receptionists can also be responsible for organizing safety and legal policies, procedures and logbooks.

Johnsonville Fossil Plant
TVA's Johnsonville Fossil Plant is located on 720 acres of land near Waverly, Tenn. It is named for the town of Johnsonville, which was flooded during the formation of the adjacent Kentucky Lake. The town was relocated several miles south and named New Johnsonville.
Johnsonville is the oldest fossil plant in the TVA fleet. Plant construction began May 12, 1949 with the first of the plant's 10 operating units going into service Oct. 27, 1951. The final unit began generating electricity on Aug. 20, 1959.
Johnsonville can generate about 1,500 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, enough to power approximately 800,000 homes. Units 1 through 4 also provide steam to a nearby DuPont plant in a co-generation configuration. Johnsonville is the only TVA coal-fired co-generation facility.
Nevertheless, units 1 through 4 will cease generation by December 2017, as part of a consent decree with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Units 5 through 10 were idled in 2012.

C++ Question
C++ template function, same type, multiple instantiations: shares one same copy of code? EVEN in different cpp/object files
For example, consider the following code:
// f.h
template
int f(T x) {
return x+1;
If we instantiate it in both
//foo.cpp instantiation:
int i = f(1);
//bar.cpp instantiation:
int j = f(2);
Will the final program uses only one copy of code? Is that so, when
is hidden but only the object file
is provided?
I think, since each cpp files are compiled independently, both
must contains
. The linker should see same duplicate signature, and use only one copy. Am I right?
Yes, the linker will generally fold duplicate identical template instantiations away. Doing so is pretty much required to avoid an explosion in binary size when templates are involved, and to maintain some standard required invariants such as equivalence of function pointers. This behavior is sometimes called fold by name.
Beyond that, some linkers will even fold away all symbols that happen to be identical in content (i.e., compile the same code), even if they don't originate from the same definition. This is sometimes called fold by value, but unless done carefully may break the letter of the standard (i.e., because function pointers to different functions now compare equal).

OBJECTIVE: It is an ongoing debate whether tympanoplasty should be performed in the pediatric age group. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the anatomical and functional outcomes of type I cartilage tympanoplasty in children and adults.
MATERIALS and METHODS: The file records of patients who underwent type 1 cartilage tympanoplasty were retrospectively reviewed. In total, 133 patients who underwent type 1 tympanoplasty for chronic otitis media were included. Tragal cartilage grafts were used in all patients. The patients were divided into two groups: pediatric (age≤16 years, n=54) and adult (age>18 years, n=79) groups. The graft success rates and hearing results between the two groups were compared.
RESULTS: The graft success rate was 90.2% (120/133) in the study group. At the end of the 24-month follow-up, the graft was intact in 48 of the 54 (88.9%) patients in the pediatric group and 72 of the 79 patients in the adult group (91.1%) (p=0.769). The functional success rate (postoperative air–bone gap<20 dB) obtained in the study group was 90.2% (120/133). The functional success rate was 88.9% (48/54) in the pediatric group and 91.1% (72/79) in the adult group (p=0.255).
CONCLUSION: The graft success rates and hearing results obtained with cartilage grafts are similar in children and adults. Therefore, cartilage grafts may be safely used in pediatric patients, similar to their use in adults.

Although many people use the terms interchangeably, there is a significant difference between a nanny and an au pair.
Differences between an au pair and a nanny:
- Au pairs are, by definition, young people from overseas who travel legally to the U.S.to care for children on a cultural exchange visa. Nannies can be anyone employed to care for a child in its own home.
- Nannies can work part-time, full-time or even overtime. Au pairs working conditions are regulated by the U.S. Department of State, so there are rules that must be followed. An au pair can work up to (but no more than) 45 hours a week, 10 hours per day.
- Nanny fees vary widely depending on if they are part-time or full-time, how many children you have, and where you live. The cost of hosting an au pair can be broken down into two main parts: Fees paid to an agency for the program administration and year-round support, and a minimum weekly stipend of $195.75, paid directly to your au pair.
- Some nannies are professionally trained and are in the field as a career. Others become nannies as a temporary way to earn money while they decide on college or other career paths. Au pairs are not professionally trained but many of them have hundreds, even thousands, of hours of experience as babysitters, tutors, kindergarten assistants, camp counselors and sports instructors.
- Nannies are employees. Au pairs are not considered an employee but rather an extended family member. The term au pair means "on par".

I have an array of objects, some of which respond to :description, and I want to get the description from the first one with a truthy description. I could do this:
objects.detect{|o| o.try(:description)}.description
or this:
objects.map{|o| o.try(:description)}.detect{|o| o}
but the first isn't DRY (description is in there twice) and the second iterates through the whole array before finding the value. Is there anything in the ruby standard library, or in Rails' extensions to it, which would let me do something like this:
objects.detect_and_return{|o| o.try(:description)}
I know I could write it easily enough, but the standard libraries are big enough that I might not need to. Is there a function which works like my detect_and_return?

Is there a functional programming term for this (apart from lazy evaluation)? – Andrew Grimm Aug 14 '11 at 23:29

I haven't seen such a method, and the closest I found was a method capture_first which I found in the gem merb-cache. Seems they stumbled on the same problem and implemented this:
module Enumerable
 def capture_first
 each do |o|
 return yield(o) || next
You could also take a look at the Array and Enumerable methods in the Ruby facets library and see if you find something similar. Facets contains quite a lot of goodies, so you might get lucky.

Indeed - Enumerable#find_yield, aka Enumerable#map_detect. Thanks - I'd not heard about facets before. – Simon Aug 3 '11 at 13:45

Ethylene Removal and Shelf Life Extension
Another trial completed proving that our machines remove Ethylene, if you can remove Ethylene, you can extend shelf life.
Ethylene removal is extremely important in extending shelf life because it's Ethylene which acts as a natural ripening (or "aging") hormone, the release of Ethylene into a storage environment is what causes fresh produce, fruits, flowers and many other plants to deteriorate.

Creating a User and Granting Permissions
Updated at: Sep 29, 2020 GMT+08:00
You can use IAM to implement refined permission control for DAS resources. To be specific, you can:
 - Create IAM users for employees from different departments of your enterprise. In this way, each IAM user has a unique security credential to use DAS resources.
 - Grant only the permissions required for users to perform a specific task.
 - Entrust an account or cloud service to perform professional and efficient O&M on your DAS resources.
If your account does not need individual IAM users, you may skip over this section.
Figure 1 describes how to grant permissions to a user group.
Before granting permissions to a user group, learn about the DAS system policies that can be added, as shown in Permissions Management. For the system policies of other services, see System Permissions.
Process Flow
Figure 1 Process for granting DAS permissions
 1. Create a user group and grant permissions to it.
 Create a user group on the IAM console, and grant the DAS Administrator policy to the group.
 2. Create an IAM user.
 Create a user on the IAM console and add the user to the group created in 1.
 3. Log in to the HUAWEI CLOUD console as the created IAM user, switch to the region where you have been authorized to use DAS, and verify permissions. For details about how to log in to the console, see Logging In as an IAM User.
 - In the service list, select Data Admin Service. On the displayed DAS console, click Add Login. If login information can be successfully created, DAS policies have already taken effect.
 - Select any other service, rather than DAS, in the Service List. If a message indicating insufficient permissions to access the service appears, DAS policies have already taken effect.

From the ancient Egyptians to modern times, naan and pita flatbreads have been a key source of carbohydrates. Pita breads date back more than 6000 years! Both of these traditional breads have evolved into new styles. These include pizzas and chapatis that keep people coming back for more. So what is the difference between naan and pita?
Naan vs pita: what are the differences?
Naan's origin is India, and it's common in south and west Asia, as well as the Caribbean. Pita originated in the middle east, yet is popular in eastern Mediterranean countries.
These two flatbreads, naan and pita are sometimes mistaken, but they're very different! Naan is thicker and more enriched making it softer. Pitas are a leaner flatbread that is ideal for stuffing with salads, falafel or kebab meat.

How are naans and pitas different?
The ingredients that go into the making of naan are:
Flour, water, yeast, milk, yogurt, oil or butter.
Often eggs, onion (nigella) seeds and Indian spices such as cumin are also included. After baking the naan is usually brushed with ghee. It's common for the flavour of naan breads to be enhanced with extra ingredients. Common combinations are:
- Garlic and coriander
- Keema (ground mutton, lamb and goat meat)
- Peshwari (sweetened coconut)
- Paneer Naan (Indian cheese)
Pita has way less ingredients in it. They consist of whole and white wheat flour, water, yeast and salt. Some producers include sugar and vegetable oil for flavour and to improve its shelf life.
Naan flatbread has a teardrop or oval shape. They are around 1-2 cm thick and have uneven pockets on the surface.
A Pita flatbread is more uniform. Its shape is more rounded, and when cut through the middle will open out into a pouch.
Both recipes are made using the same routine. They are mixed, kneaded and then left to rest for an hour or so. After the first rise they are divided into dough balls. The pitas will be flattened whereas naans will be left in ball shapes. After 30 minutes (or longer if left in the fridge), the breads are baked.
Naan is best cooked in a traditional clay or metal oven known as a tandoor. They origin from ancient Egyptian ovens. A tandoor will heat up around 480 degrees! The oven door is open so the baker slaps the round ball to the wall of the tandoor.
It can also be cooked at home using an iron skillet or a preheated baking stone placed under the grill.
When it comes to cooking Pita flatbread, a hot oven is used. They are baked at high temperatures for just a few minutes. This makes the dough pieces puff up. Once a slight browning appears on the crust the pitas are removed. As they cool they collapse into the flat bread we see in our stores.
How do they taste?
The addition of yoghurt, sugar and fat give naan breads a soft and more fluffy texture. Baking at a high heat for a short amount of time gives a soft crumb with a crust that's caramelized. Naan bread has more flavour as in most cases spices orextral flavourings are added.
This could be, because pita has been around a lot longer than naan, and that may explain the reason for the basic ingredients to it.
Pita has a dryer texture to it. The purpose of a pita bread is to hold the fillings and soak up juice. Pita breads are stronger, but don't really have a crumb. They are just crust on both sides with a hollow centre. They make a dish complete, but are not particularly exciting on their own.
Which one is easiest to make?
Pita bread tends to be easier to make, because it uses less ingredients. The cooking method doesn't require a special oven making the pita much easier to make.
What food to serve with a naan
Naan bread is usually eaten as an accompaniment to a curry. They also make a great mid-meal snack on their own. Although mainly found in India and Pakistan, it is likely to see naan breads with other cuisines.
- They can be eaten like a taco by dressing with chicken or lamb meat.
- Kids love them as a bed for grated cheese and a tomato sauce to turn it into a pizza.
- A chicken panini.
- Topped with cheese, potatoes, and eggs as a breakfast sandwich.
- I love them served with kebabs!
What food to eat with a pita
These can be filled with your preferred choice of sandwich ingredients or fillings. Or:
- Served with hummus or any kind of dipping sauce.
- Eaten as nachos.
- With kebab meat or falafel and salad
- Opening up the pita pocket, and packet with salad and your favourite salad dressing.
- Spread with peanut butter and filled with sliced up bananas, and apples.
- My son just likes grated cheese – poor guy…
What is healthier, Naan or Pita Bread?
When it comes to which one is healthier, it's a no brainer. Considering the ingredients that can go into the making of naan, pita is way more healthier than naan. It's lower in sugars, and it also has less fat, whereas naan is high in both fat and calories.
Naan vs Pita. Which one do I prefer?
It's a difficult one but I prefer naan breads to pita. They go great with two of my favourite dishes, kebab and tarka dhal. Delicious! I still like pita, but a naan offers just that little bit more. What is your favourite?

Measuring the gain in income from migration is complicated by non-random selection of migrants from the general population, making it hard to obtain an appropriate comparison group of non-migrants.
This paper uses a migrant lottery to overcome this problem, providing an experimental measure of the income gains from migration. New Zealand allows a quota of Tongans to immigrate each year with a lottery used to choose amongst the excess number of applicants. A unique survey conducted by the authors in these two countries allows experimental estimates of the income gains from migration to be obtained by comparing the incomes of migrants to those who applied to migrate, but whose names were not drawn in the lottery, after allowing for the effect of noncompliance among some of those whose names were drawn.
We also conducted a survey of individuals who did not apply for the lottery. Comparing this non-applicant group to the migrants enables assessment of the degree to which non-experimental methods can provide an unbiased estimate of the income gains from migration.
We find evidence of migrants being positively selected in terms of both observed and unobserved skills. As a result, non-experimental methods are found to overstate the gains from migration, by 9 to 82 percent. A good instrumental variable works best, while difference-in-differences and bias-adjusted propensity-score matching also perform comparatively well.

Power reserve indicator
Power reserve indicators (known as "Réserve de Marche" in French) were developed alongside long power reserve movements which can run for more than 2 days. Typically shown on the dial with a pointer, power reserve indicators are also sometimes located on the movement itself, visible through a display caseback or aperture. They are often geared directly to the winding system and usually use a gearing mechanism based on estimated power for a given number of winding turns. Others are attached to the barrel and use mainspring torque as an indicator of power reserve remaining.
Some power reserve indicators are marked with a fixed number of days, while others show a simple "+/-" or "ab/auf" ("up/down" in German). There can also be power reserve indicators for further functions, for example the alarm function.
Breguet developed a prototype power reserve indicator in 1933 but did not bring it to production. Jaeger-LeCoultre introduced the modern power reserve indicator in 1948 on the Powerwind Ref. 163 watch's Cal. 481. Jaeger-LeCoultre heavily marketed this feature in the Futurematic watches of the 1950s and continues to offer a model bearing the name, Réserve de Marche today. Zodiac was another early company to use a power reserve indicator, introducing it in 1949 on a pioneering automatic watch movement.
