The HTP-APS are a series of high voltage modules providing outputs of between 200V and 1000V. There are 2 power levels to choose from. At 500mW the modules operate from an input of 5Vdc. The 1W versions are supplied from 11½ to 15½Vdc. Depending on the model chosen the maximum output current is between 500µA to 5mA.
These DC/DC converters are built into potted steel cases. This construction together with a patented resonance mode principle helps to ensure low electro-magnetic interference. The APS modules also offer a highly stable output while exhibiting a relatively low ripple and noise level.
The output polarity of the HTP-BPS is factory set to either positive (option /P) or negative (option /N).


There are 4 area codes actively in use in metropolitan Miami: 305, 786, 754, 954. Metropolitan Miami includes Ft. Lauderdale, Miami Beach, Hollywood, Hialeah, and Pompano Beach, among other locales. Another handful of area codes is in use across other parts of the state of Florida.
In Miami / Ft. Lauderdale, area codes are always included in written telephone numbers and area codes must be dialed for all calls, even for local calling. All US phone numbers are 10-digits total, including a 3-digit area code and a 7-digit local subscriber number.
In the past, a given region often had just one area code. Nowadays, many cities and towns in denser urban areas, including Miami, have 2 or more area codes.
To make an inbound international call (or domestic long distance call) to a Miami landline or mobile phone, you need to dial the appropriate 3-digit area code, followed by a 7-digit local subscriber number.
There are currently 4 area codes used in the Miami metropolitan. Several of these area codes are relatively recent 'overlay' area codes that were added to provide additional phone number capacity.
To accommodate demand for new phone numbers, Miami has added 'overlay' area codes - meaning that as new phone numbers are needed, a new area code is added within the footprint of an existing area code(s). For instance, the area code 786 was added several years ago within the footprint of the 305 area code.
Here are the area codes for the 25 largest cities and towns in Florida (in alpha order).
The following maps show area codes for Miami and the state of Florida.
In some cases, area codes may be referred to as city codes. However, a 'city code' more correctly refers to the codes used to designate airports and other geographic locations. These codes are issued under the United Nation's UN/LOCODE system and/or the IATA airport coding system. The city code for Miami is MIA.


Sticky notes with positive messages hang from the wall. Spread the Love was a project created by Trinity Derizio in response to hate from two Northwest students.
These sticky notes all come from a basket in the middle of the guidance counseling hallway. Supplies are provided so that all students can make a sticky note with similar messages.
This project, known as Spread the Love, was created by senior Trinity Derizio.
Derizio was inspired then to write several sticky notes and put them around the courtyard of the school.
Others admire Derizio's project, like sophomore Ansley Vorwald.
"I think with everything going around, this is a reminder [that Northwest is still a good place]," Bruggman said.
Derizio is "ecstatic" that her project is taking off.
Upon hearing about the sticky note on the wrestling team's trophy case, Derizio smiled.

Project development is the core of the Flores Farm brand. Flores Farm owes its foundation and name to its first project: in October 2005, Flores Farm founders Jochen Wolf and Martin Steckdaub visited the Indonesian island of Flores on a trip. They were accompanying a television crew from Westdeutscher Rundfunk making a documentary about a cashew nut project in Flores.
The two were deeply impressed by the project, as it gave people in one of the poorest provinces of Indonesia prospects of a future while at the same respecting the principles of sustainability. So it affected them all the more when they learned that this project was on the brink of failure. The reason behind this was the lack of sales opportunities for the organic cashews, meaning that the farmers were already forced to sell the nuts at low prices dictated by dealers in the conventional market.
Jochen Wolf and Martin Steckdaub therefore decided to buy 60 tonnes of raw nuts and to take charge of, and finance, their processing. For the sole reason of securing distribution for the cashew farmers, the two founded Flores Farm GmbH on 2 January 2006.
It quickly became clear that one raw material alone was not enough. Flores Farm continuously expanded its range and initiated new projects. Work on the ground continues to be a top priority for Flores Farm – firstly because this enables us to provide you with premium-quality raw materials, but also because we then enable local farmers to have greater independence through fair prices, technical support and the transfer of expertise.
For the past three years, we have been developing this project together with the PMA, our Indonesian partner, with a farmers cooperative in Central Java. Collecting, harvesting and processing coconut blossom sugar is laborious and time-consuming. For generations, coconut blossom farmers have been using the same traditional methods shown in this video, which was created in 2016 on a trip to the project area. We facilitate the project with technical support and transfer of expertise in order to open up sales opportunities for the farmers in the American and European markets and allow them greater financial independence through fair prices.
We have been developing a date project in Pakistan together with our partner Emad since 2017. We support the project by pre-financing machines and goods and transferring expertise, and we are proud to be able to offer the dates on the European market already. From an original seven farmers, a total of 34 farmers have now teamed up to form a cooperative that mainly produces two types of dates: the Aseel variety, which is on the softer side and suitable for making bars or energy balls, and the BJ variety, which is ideal for use diced in Muesli.
In 2009, Flores Farm launched a PPP (public–private partnership) project together with AgroAndino to grow physalis in the highlands of Peru, for which more than 140 farmer families were able to be brought on board. Today, we are working together with 280 families. In the early years, especially, we were faced with great challenges, because constructing a factory, setting up good quality logistics and exporting from the Andes proved to be extremely difficult. But the hard work paid off. Since 2015, AgroAndino's project has been certified as Fair for Life by the Swiss organic Foundation (Bio-Stiftung Schweiz) in collaboration with the Institute for Market Ecology (IMO).
As one of the first organic pioneers, we initiated a new project in 2016 in the economically underdeveloped region of West Timor cultivating "wild" peanuts together with the PMA, our Indonesian partner. For the local farming families, who up until now have only been able to sell their produce in local markets, this represents a huge opportunity to open up new markets, and we are able to meet the growing demand for this extraordinary speciality.


Severely damaged or decayed teeth can cause chronic pain and may even result in an infection. In some cases, you may need to have teeth extracted for pain relief or in preparation for dental implants or dentures. If you've been experiencing constant tooth pain, it may be time to discuss extraction options with your dentist. At Alpine Dental in Monroe, Washington, dentists offer comprehensive dental services, including tooth extractions, in a comfortable, relaxed environment. Book your appointment online and learn more about your options for repairing or replacing painful teeth.
A tooth extraction is a dental procedure where a dentist removes a painful or infected tooth from the bone. Your dentist performs a comprehensive evaluation through physical exam and digital dental X-rays to determine if extraction is necessary.
Impacted wisdom teeth are one of the most common reasons for surgery. Once these teeth become impacted, they can't grow in the mouth properly.
This impaction can result in infection, decay of the surrounding teeth, and gum disease. Impacted teeth may also cause the growth of tumors and cysts.
Dentists frequently recommend wisdom tooth extraction as a preventive measure.
Prior to the procedure, you need to give your dentist a list of current medications and your medical history to prevent surgical complications. If the tooth being extracted is fully exposed, your dentist can give you a local anesthetic to prevent discomfort during the procedure.
If a tooth is broken or impacted, as in the case of wisdom teeth, your dentist administers a general anesthesia. In this case, you need to avoid eating or drinking for several hours before your surgery, and someone must drive you home.
After the extraction procedure, you may need stitches. There may be some mild swelling or pain, and your dentist may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribe stronger medications for pain management.
Following an extraction, adjust your diet to include soft foods for the first few days after as you heal. You shouldn't use a straw or smoke because it can harm the open wound. Proper oral hygiene is also essential; it keeps the area clean and allows healing.
You need to visit your dentist a few weeks after surgery for a checkup to make sure the surgical area is healing correctly. Your dentist can provide options for replacing the missing tooth, such as dental bridges or implants.
If you're struggling with a painful or damaged tooth, visit your dentist immediateservicesly for an evaluation. You can book an appointment at Alpine Dental online now.

Borderlands 3 Will Get a Launch Day Upgrade on Next-Gen Consoles
Loot and shoot in 4K/60.
News by Eric Van Allen, News Editor
Many games from the last few years are getting upgrades when the next generation of console hardware launches, and Borderlands 3 will be one of them. 2K announced today that Borderlands 3 will get a next-gen upgrade for free, day-and-date with the launch of Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5.
In a 2K press release, the publisher details what the upgrade will entail. Borderlands 3 will get 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, as well as four-player local split-screen co-op. A vertical split-screen option for two-player co-op will also come to next-gen consoles, and launch for Xbox One and PS4 versions of Borderlands 3 on Nov. 10 and 12, respectively.
If you already own Borderlands 3, you won't have to buy another copy of the game, either. Copies of Borderlands 3 can be upgraded to their next-gen counterpart for free, provided you stay within the same console family—Xbox One to Xbox Series X | S, and PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5. Add-on content and save files will also port forward within the same family as well, so you won't have to start a new character. But if you have the disc version of Borderlands 3, you'll need a next-gen console that actually uses physical media, so no Xbox Series S or digital-centric PS5.
Borderlands 3 adds to a number of games making the leap across generations with the launch of the new consoles. Thankfully, it's utilizing cross-saves as well, which is fairly critical for these next-gen upgrades. Not that you wouldn't want to play back through the beginning of Borderlands 3 again, but folks have invested a lot of time into their builds, so it's nice they won't be stranded on previous consoles.
The latest Borderlands is certainly more Borderlands, but for a next-gen console, that might not be a bad thing. The addition of up to four-player local co-op is a silver bullet not many other games have, so it could make a decent splash with the upgrade. Borderlands 3's next-gen upgrade goes live on Nov. 10 for Xbox Series X | S and Nov. 12 for PlayStation 5, same day as the launch of those consoles.

I'm not going to lie. I have been stuck in a denim rut. I have only wanted high-waisted, skinny, mom jeans. A problem I always have in finding that perfect denim is once they fit in all of the right places, they will then have a huge gap at the waist. Enter DEMOCRACY DENIM! I am so excited to share these amazing jeans with you guys. And I haven't even told you the BEST part, they won't break the bank! #WINNING Their jeans come in several washes and cuts for you to choose. The jeans are super soft and stretchy!
I could show you the picture of "how low I could go" that Jenn took, but I will spare you. Let's just say I was low, which is totally on point when you are running around after your littles all day. This momma is ALL about comfort. The "Ab" Solution jean features a no-gap elastic waist, strategically placed pockets to enhance your booty, and slimming mesh panels for tummy control!

It was definitely time for a change and I am loving them.
I am always on the lookout for a good pair of BLACK DENIM. Hands down it is the one thing I wear on repeat during Fall and Winter. So easy to dress up with heels or wear with a sweatshirt and tennies. The options are limitless. So I will apologize in advance when you see these over and over!
How cute is this JACKET!?! BONUS it is reversible! One jacket, TWO ways!
I am loving this PLAID PEPLUM TOP!
Of course, I do still LOVE a good HIGH-RISE DENIM.

Rebooting the Dream
Why Do The Same Thing?
By Michael E. Gerber, Author of 'The E-Myth Revisited'@MichaelEGerber
Stop me if you've heard this one, "My dream business is to do the same job I did in the corporate world but get paid less, have no benefits, and work harder than ever before."
I know, I know, nobody ever said that, but if that's the case, why do so many small business owners do just that?
Simple - they never spent the time to effectively plan out the business they wanted to open.
Somewhere along the line, the Dreamer was silenced and replaced with a Manager who was far too pragmatic and insisted there was no time for that esoteric silliness.
Now, there's no need to judge in this case - human beings ALL do the same thing in many other circumstances - a revolution in a country usually creates exactly the same government it deposed. People trade in an economy car and buy another fuel-efficient design. You leave a job and take another one that is virtually the same in terms of schedule, benefits, and tasks to handle.
After forty years of helping entrepreneurs understand how to create businesses that are enterprises and not just low-paying jobs, I long ago came to the realization that the initial Dream for an entrepreneur is the single most critical step in building and growing a small business into a true enterprise.
Now, it would be logical to say that when one design's one's dream job, that a component of the dream would be "things" - the perks of the job: the corner office, a C-level title, or even a posh schedule - but that's not the Dream in this case.
No, in this case, the Dream is about the company itself - is it an aspirin or a vitamin? Who buys it every day and - more importantly - who buys that company when you've plotted it all out, planned its every move, and documented the entire process?
In short, the Dream - the most critical component to catalyze every company that ever existed and every company that will ever exist - isn't about THE customer, it's about the CUSTOMERS - the daily one that buys the products or services of the business and the customer that, ultimately, buys the entire business.
In my experience, if entrepreneurs thought about the sale of their company at all, they simply tossed out an arbitrary date in the future with no real idea of what that sale looked like.
Because they weren't creating a company, they were building a job for themselves and when they want to sell it, they'll have to look for somebody else foolish enough to want to buy a job.
With all that in mind, when you opened the doors to your company, did you know who you were going to sell it to? Sure, if you're a tech developer, you might be cranking out app after app and trying to create "the one" that hits and Google, or Facebook, or Apple all line up to buy it, but if you are opening a bakery, who is going to buy it?
What about your accounting firm?
Your auto repair shop?
My life's work has been about fixing broken businesses and after forty years, the conclusions my experience (with over 100,000 clients!) has drawn is that not paying attention to the Dream in the formative stages of designing a company means that the Dream descends into a job. Only when you sit down in a quiet place and clear your mind and not think of branding, advertising, and software systems and instead, behold a blank piece of paper with a beginner's mind can you begin to build a company that is worth building, worth growing, and ultimately, worth buying.


I am an actor by profession, most specifically struggling. Regardless of acting struggles, I get through the struggles of maintaining my panache and keeping up to the mark of the standardized living of a celebrity which sometimes costs a lot. Not only, it will eat up your time but there might be ways which can make you bankrupt. And of course, I am serious.Honestly no one wants that even if you are a billionaire. And me? I am just a small-town man with wriggling prominence.
This has happened to me in all the initial struggling days of my acting when I had to take the time out to go and shop. If it was just the clothing, I'd have bare it to the core since men's descent accessories is the most difficult thing to find on this planet. Therefore, it always took my most of the time that I could spend in doing something productive. However, it stopped until I found out about the implausible online brand for men's and women's accessories.
Uhrcenter – giving you a farfetched experience of a lifetime. Not only one can do time-saving shopping but also using Uhrcenter Gutschein, one can have absurd involvement in shopping by having amazing discounts on Uhrcenter Rabatt with up to 60% off.
Well, as a matter of fact, online shopping can be deceiving sometimes, which too was my concern initially. Luckily, I was one of those who are able to find a reliable and worth spending digital store.This store had the most voguish and ultra-modern items to accessorize myself up. From watches to all what a man would require to look more irresistible, they have it here.
My experience with Uhrcenter Gutschein was simply brilliant, as it helped me wearing my style with pride. I would definitely recommend it to all the style conscious people who likes to have their own exclusive class, must give it a go.

Little girl, born at home at 7.20pm last night.
Congrats and please pass on the best wishes for the Lady that did the hard work.
PS. How many coffees did you have during the process ?
One coffee for myself and the midwives was all we had time for before things started heating up.
Bub is Maya Scarlett and a healthy 4.05KG and 54cm. She's already and easy one - spent two hours snuggling into daddy's chest and sucking on a finger last night while mum was in theatre.
Jus is doing ok, but wound up losing a lot of blood - they're considering a transfusion depending on how she goes tonight. Hoping they'll be home in a day or two.
Beautiful name! Thoughts are with Jus while she recovers!
Thank god we live in the age we do, where something like this is considered almost trivial, and certainly not life threatening!
Congratulations, and love the name (though I liked the name so much I named my dog the same ) Looking forward to seeing photos of the happy family, and hearing how the Ollie is doing as well with the new addition.
Congratulations, may this be the first in a lifetime of rewarding parenthood experiences.
Congrats. As father of two girls, I think girls are best, but one boy one girl could be considered to be the best of both worlds.
Yep, it's thanks to trained qualified midwives that we can have safe home birthing options. The particular problem Jus endured would've been just as much trouble at the hospital and taken the same amount of time while they waited for drugs to take effect (or not, in this case).
It's a real shame that new legislation coming in next year will basically eliminate safe home birthing - meaning that only the free-birthers will be the ones doing it. Alone and with no official medical support.
At present, the infant and mother mortality rate, even when taking into account congenital issues, is approximately on par with that of hospitals, if not slightly better. Once the new legislation kicks in it'll mean a rise in those mortality rates, which the pollies who pushed the legislation through will point to (as a self-fulfilling prophecy) that they were right.
I'll get off my high horse now.
Just very happy to have a healthy, happy little girl.
Congrats Kelsey and you summed it up well above!!
Congratulations to you and best wishes to Mum and Bub Kelsey, hope they are both doing well.
I missed out on all the news last night!!!!
Congratulations Mum and Dad & little bub. I'm so happy for ya.
Keep in touch, I hope I'm allow around for a coffee and a cuddle!
she'll knock the wind out of your sails!
Thanks Pat, despite the little bit of drama at the end it has turned out ok with a happy bub and mum.
It's certainly an experience I'd recommend, provided the attending midwives are qualified and supportive and that the pregnancy is low risk.
I'm hoping to bring them home today.
Thanks Muscles - and everyone else too!
glad to hear that everyone is ok - after baby numer two (as opposed to no two's) my coffee consumption doubled!


At least half of casino visitors possess a loyalty rewards card, studies show. With kiosks serving as the centerpiece of casino loyalty programs, there's great potential to leverage those kiosks for marketing.
In the early days of the gaming industry, casino bosses kept track of high rollers in their heads or a in a little black book. In return for dropping big bucks at the tables, players were rewarded with complementary perks ranging from free dinner at the buffet to a night in the VIP suite.
While that system of offering comps to encourage player loyalty largely remains in place, these days information about those players is tracked by loyalty cards swiped at the slot machine or table game.
The technology at the heart of casino loyalty program is the kiosk. Players insert their loyalty cards into a slot machine or swipe it at the blackjack table, and once they're done on the gaming floor they can insert that card at a loyalty program kiosk to see their reward balance. The points they accumulate through their play can then be redeemed at various amenities around the casino complex.
And the fact that many casino patrons will use those cards during their visit makes a second screen incorporated into loyalty program kiosks the perfect vehicle to deliver additional messaging.
There's no shortage of data to illustrate the economic impact of the gaming industry. According to Statista.com, there were a record 82.5 million visits to U.S. casinos in the 12 months between April 2015-2016. St. Louis-based accounting firm Rubin Brown pegs revenue from more than 1,000 gaming operations in 40 states in 2016 at $73.1 billion, up 2 percent from the previous year. And the American Gaming Association estimates the casino industry results in an additional $52 billion of direct and indirect economic activity at small businesses.
Obviously, any business getting their message into the midst of that activity is likely to get a boost. Loyalty program kiosks offer a perfect way to deliver those messages.
It's likely casino patrons are already well familiar with the concept of a kiosk thanks to the proliferation of self-order stations at restaurants, self-checkout devices in grocery stores and ticket-buying kiosks at movie theaters. That familiarity makes kiosks a natural fit for a casino setting and means little if any promotion will be required. In fact, odds are those patrons expect to have self-service devices available wherever they may go.
There are several types of loyalty program kiosks around the casino property, says Traci Martin, director of vertical markets with Olea Kiosks.
Olea's Monte Carlo kiosk, for example, features two large LCD panels and programmable LED lighting. Along with license scanners and card printers, options for peripheral include a credit card reader, receipt printer, keyboard and trackball. The automated system allows users to check points, receive cash disbursement or add value to their cards at their own convenience. Remote monitoring capabilities can help ensure the kiosk stays up and running 24/7. The kiosk's small footprint enables placement virtually anywhere and makes it easy to re-position. Brilliant LED lighting can be programmed to display any of thousands of colors in myriad patterns, all remotely.
Olea has deployed gaming kiosks at casino properties in the United States as well as in Macau and Singapore.
Loyalty program kiosks aren't the only self-service devices on the casino property to hold an opportunity for second-screen messaging. Wayfinding kiosks and the TITO (ticket in-ticket out) units that turn a person's winnings into cash and dispense coupons are also candidates for a messaging screen, along with hotel check-in/checkout kiosks, self-checkout devices at retail shops, ticket purchasing stations and tournament signup kiosks.
Although the economic impact of the gaming industry is easy to see, information about the effectiveness of advertising on casino screens to date is largely anecdotal. Still, there are some safe bets to be made.
Several industry studies estimate that at least half of casino patrons have a loyalty card, with many holding cards for several properties. With the ease of joining a loyalty program at a kiosk, and having that kiosk dispense the card within a few seconds, even the casual casino visitor is likely to sign up.
What that means is that there's a pretty good chance that at least half of casino visitors will spend at least several seconds in front of a kiosk messaging screen while they check their rewards balance. If they're trying to accumulate enough points to receive a particular comp such as a free buffet dinner, they may be in front of that screen several times during their visit.
With the median income of casino visitors pegged at about $60,000 a year, according to research firm VP Communications, those visitors are the prime target for nearly any brand.
Casinos can boost their own revenue by displaying information on those screens about events happening on the property, promotions they may be running or information about in-house restaurants and shops. In addition, running ads for a nearby golf course, a zipline complex or other off-property activity offers the potential of generating an additional revenue stream.
Even when those kiosks aren't being used, that second screen can serve as digital signage to convey messaging to passers-by.

Search engine makes social calls
New algorithm exploits community structure of the web.
The web has spontaneously organized itself into communities. A new search algorithm that pinpoints these could help surfers find what they want and avoid offensive content.
Page builders can link anywhere. But they don't, Gary Flake, of the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, and his colleagues have found. Instead, pages congregate into social groups that focus most of their attention on each other.
Web directories compiled by hand, such as Yahoo!, recognize this to an extent. Flake's team has automated the process. "We find extremely high-quality sites that Yahoo! and Google don't know about," he says.
The new search ignores a page's text, looking only at its links. It crawls from a starting page to others it links to, and so on out into the web, picking out islands of expertise in the sea of information.
A test of the algorithm starting at the home pages of biologist Francis Crick, astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, and computer scientist Ronald Rivest yielded groups of sites that are tightly focused on each researcher's life, work and field. "The sites are remarkably topically related – the clusters' properties are completely intuitive," says Flake.
"You can extract a lot of meaning from links," agrees Mike Thelwall, who studies search engines at the University of Wolverhampton, UK. The new approach is, he says, a clever way to find meaningful groups among the effectively infinite number of ways to subdivide linked pages.
The first application of community searching may be to fence off areas of the web such as pornography or hate-speech communities, says Flake. Current content filters are largely text-based; these are easy to dodge and require intensive human management.
Google pioneered the use of links to deduce pages' relevance. Its PageRank technology counts a link from site A to site B as a vote for B from A. But it does not take account of all the other sites to which A has links, as NEC's new technique does.
Flake does not expect to displace the market leader – "Google's a great search engine," he says. Rather, he wants to add an extra dimension to searching.
Using link structures could lead to more efficient, customized searching, particularly for scientists, who are careful to link to each other's pages. "For academics it's going to be a big improvement," says Thelwall.
Flake's team is now mapping out communities in the web as a whole, without using a starter page. This could detect hitherto unsuspected communities, says computer scientist and network researcher Jon Kleinberg of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
"It could bring together people with common interests that may not know of each other's existence. You could also catch the early stages of new trends," says Kleinberg.

: When using the phrase "He's a real tro*per," do you use the word "trooper" or "trouper." They would both seem to make sense in different contexts, but I have an editor who is insisting it's one way only. Any thoughts?
Trooper is a state policeman or cavalry officer. Trouper is taken from troupe, group of performers. I think the phrase "she's a trouper" would be "trouper."
From the Associated Press Stylebook: troop, troops, troupe -- A troop is a group of people or animals. Troops means several such groups, particularly groups of soldiers. Use troupe only for ensembles of actors, dancers, singers, etc.

Why would a so-called vulture fund be owned by a children's charity?
Why would a so-called vulture fund be owned by a children's charity? Why would the children's charity list the Temple Street Children's Hospital as one of their 'Foundation Partners'…when Temple Street then say on national radio that they're not? And then there was Fergus Finlay on today, saying Barnardos shouldn't be listed either, referencing children being evicted. I've met with the Charities Regulator on this, and he's looking into it. My view is that this sort of thing should not be allowed under Irish law (currently it's completely legal).
Angry? Then do something about it – contact your local TDs, by phone, ask for a meeting, and tell them you want this shut down, now.
Good interview today on Pat Kenny show Stephen with evidence-based summary of what looks suspiciously like passive collusion between Gov, the large consulting firms and a number of PE firms to avoid tax. You have earned your bread with this piece of work. if only we had another 39 Stephens to combat the toxic mix of indifference, low-level corruption and incompetence that characterises Irish government.

Q: Getting NameError with PythEveryone in ArcGIS virtual campus module? I'm working on the python for everyone lab in Esri's Virtual campus. I'm running into an issue that I can't seem to solve, I've already done some outside research hence posting here!
The issue:
4th Lab "Use python in ArcGIS" Step 5, when I run the code I'm getting this error:
Runtime error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 3, in <module>
NameError: name 'arcpy' is not defined

My code seems to looks fine, I've doubled checked multiple times this is what it looks like:
>>> # Replace a layer/table view name with a path to a dataset (which can be a layer file) or create the layer/table view within the script
... # The following inputs are layers or table views: "RI_Schools", "Providence"
... arcpy.Clip_analysis("RI_Sewers","Providence","C:/Users/Laura.Ye/Documents/GIS & RS Labs/GIS II Project Folder/Assignment 1/PythEveryone10_1/PythonInArcGIS/sewers.shp","#")
...
Runtime error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 3, in <module>
NameError: name 'arcpy' is not defined
>>>

I added an import arcpy statement as my first line of script but didn't get to far because I received the following:

import arcpy
      Runtime error
      Traceback (most recent call last):
        File "", line 1, in
        File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy__init__.py", line 24, in
          from arcpy.toolbox import *
        File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy\toolbox.py", line 351, in
          from management import Graph, GraphTemplate
        File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy\management.py", line 22, in
          import _management
        File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy_management.py", line 14, in
          import _graph
        File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy_graph.py", line 27, in
          import numpy
      ImportError: No module named numpy

** This import error occurred earlier except that time it said "No module named arcpy"
Overall, I've been having a number of errors and issues, and it seems like I should remove/reinstall ArcGIS and Python. Both seem to be located in two different locations on my computer. One location is the C:\ and the other is C:\users. I'm looking in the property files for both, the first has 6,145 files and 33 folders while the second has 63 files and 3 folders.
A little more background:
Within the first folder location C:(labeled ArcGIS10.2) there's a Python folder and a bunch of other folders. Also, there is a separate folder not nested with the ArcGIS10.2 folder, but alongside labeled Python27, which contains 5,477files and 249folders.
Within the second folder location, C:\users\ (labeled ArcGIS) there's a pywin32-218.win-amd64-py2.7 application file.
My conclusion:
This all seems like an unorganized mess, so I'm tempted to delete everything and start over. I'm new to using Python but have used ArcGIS over the last year and a half so when I first installed everything I didn't pay much attention to Python. About 2 months ago I slowly started to begin learning Python, outside of the ArcGIS environment, and downloaded a version of Python2.7. Now that I have a little more experience with GIS etc. I'm much better at trouble shooting and figuring things out, but this seems like a crazy mess of unorganized and broken files/programs etc.!
I am due for an upgrade to ArcGIS 10.3 (with my student license) so perhaps starting fresh would be easier than trying to fix everything. At least then I would have a better idea if what I encounter is user error or something else.
Any thoughts?

A: Add an import arcpy statement as the first line of your script.
Because you can't import arcpy, you have an installation error.


A gallery of leaked screenshots has emerged from CCP's MMO World of Darkness.
The images, which primarily show off a cityscape at night, primarily focus in on a female player character as she stocks around the streets, performing spells, sucking blood and otherwise just looking dark and foreboding. The images come from a Russian World of Darkness website. The site also contains a PDF file of a guide given to testers from the game's March 2014 beta.
World of Darkness itself, of course, was cancelled earlier this month after nearly eight years of development. The project's end was, in the words of CCP CEO Hilmar Petursson "one of the hardest I've ever had to make" and resulted in 56 staffers from CCP Atlanta losing their jobs.

I'd like to split the document so that there is a different file for each date with the corresponding notes saved and the date as the file name. The split command seemed close to what i wanted but it doesn't seem to be able to account for the variable amount of text and lines for each day. Would a bash script work for this? I'm new to this so forgive me if the answer is obvious. Edit: the document contains some leading spaces and blank lines.

Facebook raises minimum pay for contractors to US$15 per hour
Will also receive a minimum of 15 paid vacation days, $4,000 new child benefit
By Yasmeen Abutaleb
NEW YORK (Reuters) — Facebook raised wages for its contract workers, such as cafeteria staff and janitors, to a minimum of $15 per hour amid rising tension over the wage gap between the technology sector's elite and the lower-paid workers (all figures in U.S. dollars).
Contractors will also receive a minimum of 15 days of paid vacation days and a $4,000 new child benefit for parents who do not receive parental leave, Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said in a Wednesday post on Facebook.
"Taking these steps is the right thing to do for our business and our community," Sandberg wrote.
Facebook implemented the wage increase for some workers at its Menlo Park headquarters as of May 1. It will work to expand the policy within the year to its substantial vendors, who have more than 25 employees and are based in the United States, she said.
The company declined to say how many contract workers it employs or name any of its vendors. It initially had planned to announce the change on May 1, when Sandberg's husband, SurveyMonkey CEO Dave Goldberg, died unexpectedly during an exercise accident.
As debates rage in Congress and state legislatures over whether to raise minimum wages and help mitigate a growing income gap, several corporations have taken steps to improve compensation for service workers, including Walmart, Costco and Starbucks.
Facebook's announcement drew praise from the White House, unions and family groups.
"Corporate America is beginning to step forward to adopt these policies — in Facebook's case, by saying the company won't be party to poverty wages and practices that force workers to choose between job and family," Debra Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women and Families, said in a statement.
Silicon Valley has come under increasing pressure to close the income gap given California's high cost of living, the sixth most expensive in the country in 2014, according to data from the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center.
Google took similar steps last year when it raised the minimum pay to $15 per hour for its service workers, including bus drivers, parking attendants, security guards and cafe workers in Northern California offices. It also expanded health care coverage to all service workers on U.S. Google campuses.

Q: Converting interval to numeric The structure of my dataframe is this:
    'data.frame':   74 obs. of  7 variables:
$ Scientific_Name                           : Factor w/ 74 levels "Aesculus glabra",..: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...
$ Endangered.or.threatened                  : int  0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0     ...
$ Lat_spread                                : num  12.95 1.22 13.18 11.23  15.74 ...
$ Restricted_range                          : int  0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 ...
$ Available                                 : int  1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 ...
$ Abiotic_adapted_not_including_availability: int  4 NA 3 3 4 3 4 4 4 4 ...
$ Dispersal_score                           : int  5 NA 2 2 9 2 4 1 5 4  ...

I am trying to make the integer columns into numeric vectors. And this is my code:
> RestrictedY <- subset(Status_restricted_Wilcox, Endangered.or.threatened == 1, select = Restricted_range)
> RestrictedY <- as.vector(RestrictedY)
> RestrictedY <- as.numeric(RestrictedY)
Error: (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double'
> Status_restricted_Wilcox <- read.csv("~/Documents/Honours_data_analysis/Status_restricted_Wilcox.csv", na.strings="NA_integer_")
>   View(Status_restricted_Wilcox)
> RestrictedY <- subset(Status_restricted_Wilcox, Endangered.or.threatened == 1, select = Restricted_range)
> RestrictedY <- as.vector(RestrictedY)
> RestrictedY <- as.numeric(RestrictedY)
Error: (list) object cannot be coerced to type 'double'

What am I doing wrong? My error comes out as a 'double' but I dont understand what the matter is.
Thank you!

A: When you use subset(), you will always get a data.frame back unlike when you use other forms of subsetting which return a vector when you choose a single column. You cannot coerce a data.frame to an atomic numeric value. Try
RestrictedY <- subset(Status_restricted_Wilcox, Endangered.or.threatened == 1, select = Restricted_range)[[1]]
#or
RestrictedY <- subset(Status_restricted_Wilcox, Endangered.or.threatened == 1)$Restricted_range)
# or
RestrictedY <- with(Status_restricted_Wilcox, Restricted_range[Endangered.or.threatened == 1])

You shouldn't need any further coercion since R is usually pretty good at converting integer to numeric when necessary.


Ali Gharib examines an Israeli government report aimed at discrediting the 13-year-old media story on the death of Muhammad al-Dura.
This week, the Israeli government released a report aimed at discrediting the story of a shooting death amid riots in the Gaza Strip in 2000 (yes: 13 years ago). In the incident, 12-year-old Muhammad Al-Dura was reportedly shot and killed by Israeli forces while cowering behind his father. The incident gained prominence after the French television channel France 2 ran a report showing footage of Al-Dura's apparent shooting. The young boy became a symbol of the Second Intifada. The new document from the Israeli government sought to undermine the original French report and the reporter who produced it, the French-Israeli journalist Charles Enderlin. The Israelis initially said its military's gunfire caused the death, but within weeks blamed Palestinian gunfire instead. By 2007, the Israeli government already declared the boy's death at Israel's hands a "myth." Now, a respected press advocacy organization is coming to Enderlin's defense in his battle with the Israel's Ministry of International Affairs and Strategy.
Yesterday, the press advocacy group Reporters Sans Frontières (Reporters Without Borders) took issue with the report and questioned the review's independence. "While the Israeli government has the right to respond publicly to a media report it regards as damaging, the nature and substance of this report are questionable and give the impression of a smear operation," said Christophe Deloire, RSF's secretary-general. "Charles Enderlin has always said he would be ready to testify to a commission of enquiry in conditions that guaranteed impartiality and independence. These conditions were not respected, and Enderlin was not asked to testify." Enderlin said on Twitter that the Israeli committee did not attempt to question him, France 2, their cameraman in Gaza or Al-Dura's father. The Guardian reported that Enderlin and Al-Dura's father were willing to take polygraphs, and Al-Dura told Haaretz he would "do anything to reveal the truth, including opening my son's grave."
Though it's only rekindled the controversy, the new Israeli report, by frequently relying on suggestion and innuendo, sought to put the issue to rest, even floating the notion that the affair was staged. Using the footage in the France 2 report and "rushes"—18 minutes of raw footage, though the report claims only 55 seconds of the recording were "ever released"—the Ministry claims variously that movements by the boy after he was reportedly shot, the size and location of blood stains and other factors show either that the al-Dura was either not injured as France 2 claims or not shot at all. Short on dispositive evidence, the report frequently uses the language of open speculation: parts of France 2's narrative are found to be "highly-doubtful" five times in the document; the movements of Al-Dura and his father were "inconsistent with what would be expected" after being wounded, the report said. In the case that Al-Dura his father were shot, "it appears significantly more likely that Palestinian gunmen were the source of the shots," added the report, concluding that Enderlin is responsible for "inspir(ing) terrorists and contribut(ing) significantly to the demonization of Israel and rise in anti-Semitism in Muslim countries and the West."
The report got a credulous reading in the New York Times (curiously, the article was migrated from the news section onto a Times blog about "visual journalism"), but other outlets like the Guardian and Haaretz were far more skeptical. "This report on the Muhammad al-Durrah case is probably one of the least convincing documents produced by the Israeli government in recent years," wrote Barak Ravid in the latter paper. Ravid wrote that the al-Dura incident "became an obsession" for the instigator and later chairman of the committee to review the incident, Yossi Kuperwasser. Haaretz reported seperately that Kuperwasser had previously worked for a right-wing group on the incident—work cited in the Ministry report without Kuperwasser's role disclosed.
The report, RSF also noted, came just three days before an announcement by a French court that it will rule in June on a defamation case lodged by Enderlin against a critic who said the footage was staged. This timing seems potentially perilous for Israel's credibility. Because Israel's version of events in its report is so riddled with suggestions of a hoax, even a limited verdict in favor of Enderlin allowing that the boy actually died could serve to discredit the rank speculation of the Israeli government.

Q: Calculating the change in aceleration the earth feels when you push an object I am learning newton's third law, and i got to this conclusion, i wanted to know if it's correct (within the boundaries of Newtonian mechanics)
Say I'm pushing a cupboard with my body, and I apply a force of 10 newtons.
That means that the cupboard is applying a force of 10 newtons to me, but I'm not moving because the earth (through friction) is applying 10 newtons of force to me in the opposite direction. That means I am applying a force of 10 newtons on the earth.
That means that I'm changing the acceleration of the planet by applying a force of 10 newtons to a cupboard, and the change in acceleration is given by
$F = M_{mass-of-earth} * a$
I plug in the known values
$10 = 5,972 ×10^24 kg * a$
I solve for a
$a = 1.67448091 × 10^{-24}$
Is this reasoning correct? I feel that if I confirm this I will have understood what I felt I was missing in all my free body diagram exercises where forces are applied by arbitrary magical invisible entities.

A: You forgot about the free body diagram for the cupboard!  It is pushing on the earth too.  So you can't apply a net force to the earth by pushing between the floor and the cupboard which are both fastened to the earth.

Considering Microdosing Yourself to Enlightenment? Here's My Story.
"Let your mind wander on a micro-trip: write a book, stare at the sunset, or give that work project a second look. Put shrooms to work on those tiny synapses in your head."
Salty HQ October 23, 2022 October 20, 2022
Written by Noel Leon.
A lot of addicts search for alternates: alternate worldviews more conducive to sobriety, alternate means for escaping reality. We get lost in a wave of nostalgia, searching for meaning in the depths of despair. We glamorize hard truths learned arduously, yearning in the pit of our stomachs for an easier way. For me, that "easier way" towards enlightenment was shrooms: a micro-dose mixed into a macro-dose of sobriety (from alcohol). The concoction proved exquisite.
I'd heard wellness gurus espouse shrooms cure PMS, artist rave shrooms cure creative blocks, naturopaths claim shrooms cure depression. It all seemed too good to be true and dangerous for addicts like myself, known to abuse even the most innocuous drug. But a hunger, a curiosity to discover the limits of my "potential" devoured my resolve, and I micro-tripped.
As a writer and standup comedian, there really is no "control" for this sort of experiment. Because, intrinsically, each day is different. I don't work a nine to five, there is no constant to my moods, and what might spark a creative breakthrough varies from one day to the next. Therefore, even after experiencing peak productivity my first time on shrooms, I was skeptical.
But, after a few more micro-dosing occasions, a pattern of productivity emerged.
And I thanked the gods of psilocybin, paying homage by ordering a shroom t-shirt on Etsy… a not-so-subtle effort to look cool that screamed: See, I'm still hip even though I don't drink anymore… I shroooom!
For some people, the effects of psilocybin are hardly noticeable and for others it's an anxiety inducing nightmare. Instead of Panic at the Disco it's Panic Attack on a Tuesday. I wouldn't recommend a novice, say, hypothetically, micro-tripping before performing a standup comedy show. By micro-tripping, I mean attempting to micro-dose and accidentally tripping.
Each person's neural web is intricate and unique, varied like the many species of mushrooms that exist in the world: 14.000! But what's unanimous is that psychedelic mushrooms form new neural connections in all our brains.
So, sit back and let your mind wander on a micro-trip: try to write a book, stare at the sunset, or give that work project a second look.
Do whatever works for you while putting shrooms to work on those tiny synapses in your head. And, for addicts, experience sensory stimulation without the soul crushing dread of a hangover. Stay trippy you little hippies out there! (That's what the T-shirt said.)

Legacy and mainstream media has failed women, trans and nonbinary people. They assumed our straightness, our thinness, our frigidity and our fragility for far too long. They preyed on our insecurities in order to market products to us, and told us stories from one perspective, over and over again.
But Salty isn't legacy media. We're a radical new publishing platform with a mission to pass the mic to Salty babes across the world and amplify their voices. We're fighting everyday to ensure the authentic stories of women, trans and nonbinary people are not erased.
But this comes at a price. As Salty takes off, we are faced with increasing overheads costs. There's no secret bag of cash behind Salty. We are scrappy as hell, mostly working unpaid and need just 7,000 members to survive and thrive.

Iceni Healthcare is creating a Young People's Health Passport in partnership with Cambridge Community Services. This is a mobile phone app that provides useful information and advice to support young people's health, and also gives them access to their personal medical history.
It covers topics including travel, festival safety, drug and alcohol advice and information on how to cope with depression, bullying and eating disorders. It will signpost young people to organisations that can offer further support and it gives them access to their personal health records including their immunisation history, repeat medication and diagnosed conditions.
We have carried out a survey and workshops with young people to test the app's design. We discovered that the 15-18 age group was most likely to use the app. They reported finding it easy to navigate and gave lots of helpful feedback. Of 132 young people surveyed, 86% said the information on the app was useful. We hope to launch it in January 2018.

Case Study: Best Practices in Parish Logistics

Case Study: Best Practices in Parish Logistics March 18, 2015 Jennifer Fitz
This is a follow-on to yesterday's post, in which I pointed out problems. Big ones. Today let's talk solutions. Before I get on to the case study I want to share, here are a couple links to the Jesus is Lord adult-discipleship program:
Martina Kreitzer shares the first semester's experience at the parish-of-origin for Jesus is Lord.
Marcel LeJeune has adapted it for campus ministry.
This works. If you want a parish full of adult disciples, click through and take notes.
Something completely different, worth your attention if you are looking for a parent-involved discipleship program for teens, is YDisciple.
My post for today is a variant on the business-school case study, operations-management edition — but instead of maximizing profit, let's look at a parish that has made a goal of maximizing souls-served. I like this particular example because there was no revolution: Successful practices were kept in place, and changes were implemented slowly and gently.
The Parish: St. Urban's is a historic Main Street parish located in the business district of a mid-size city. It serves several populations:
Weekday workers in the nearby office buildings.
Sunday morning parishioners who come in from the surrounding suburbs.
Active retirees who like weekday Masses, social events, and service opportunities.
The parish has an elementary school that serves several parishes in the region, and is favored by non-Catholics as well. This is a traditionally English-speaking parish, but in the past decade the Spanish-speaking community, which is economically and socially very diverse, has increased significantly.
Solution #1: Change daily Mass times to meet the needs of parishioners. A nearby parish offers before-work daily Mass. St. Urban's moved weekday Masses to noon four days a week, so that workers could attend during lunch break. The fifth weekday is the weekly school Mass, which is held at a time suited to the school's schedule.
Solution #2: Provide whole-parish faith formation at a time suited to the local culture. Wednesday night in the South is traditionally church-night. The parish offers adult faith-formation courses in both English and Spanish that coincide with children's religious education on that evening. The pastor literally walks the grounds and invites loose parents to come inside and attend classes.
Solution #3: Identify and serve neglected parishioners: To serve the young, childless professionals of the parish, the parish offers a monthly gathering that is part-social, part-catechetical. A men's prayer group was formed that meets before work once a week.
Solution #4: Stack special offerings so they work with rather than against each other. When the confirmation students asked for Adoration during their annual retreat, it was scheduled to follow the Saturday-evening Mass, so that parishioners at the vigil Mass could participate as well. For Lent, a Wednesday midday Stations of the Cross, followed by Adoration all afternoon, then closing after quitting-time with Benediction and a communal meal prior to the start of religious ed, serves all three major communities of parishioners — downtown workers, retirees, and families coming in for evening faith formation.
Solution #5: If it works, keep it. Renewal is directed primarily towards making minor improvements to existing programs or ministries, and adding-to, rather than replacing, what is already working well-enough .
None of these solutions matter if the Gospel is not preached. A well-run organization is better-able to achieve its mission, but whether that mission is the salvation of souls is another question altogether. I share this example because if your goal is to turn adult Christians into disciples, figuring out the logistics matters. There are many parishes doing good work in bringing souls to Christ, and it's worth our time to recognize them and learn from them.

Q: Time out expired probleme sometime I use C#, .NET Framework 4.0 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, and I wrote a Winforms program with it.
I got this message:

The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

I searched it and found some hint, like
hint 1
Facts:

*

*I did close my database connection

*I have set the timeout = 0

*I did apply the corrective framework microsoft correctif framework
Here is my connection class (Data Layer):
class Connexion : IDisposable
{
        public SqlConnection conn;

        public SqlConnection GetConnected()
        {
            try
            {
                //String strConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Soft8Exp_ClientConnStr"].ConnectionString;
                string strConnectionString = Properties.Settings.Default.Soft8Exp_ClientConnStr;
                conn = new SqlConnection(strConnectionString);
            }
            catch (Exception excThrown)
            {
                conn = null;
                throw new Exception(excThrown.InnerException.Message, excThrown);
            }

            // Ouverture et restitution de la connexion en cours
            if (conn.State == ConnectionState.Closed) conn.Open();
            return conn;
        }

        public Boolean IsConnected
        {
            get { return (conn != null) && (conn.State != ConnectionState.Closed) && (conn.State != ConnectionState.Broken); }
        }

        public void CloseConnection()
        {
            // Libération de la connexion si elle existe
            if (IsConnected)
            {
                conn.Close();
                conn = null;
            }
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
            CloseConnection();
        }
}

and I use it like this (Business Layer):
public string Cloturer_Ordre_Unitaire_Agence(string CHAUFFEUR, string ClotList, DateTime Enlev, DateTime ClotReel, string sql_Syntax, string Unitaire, string NomAgence)
{
            try
            {
                using (var connectionWrapper = new Connexion())
                {
                    var connectedConnection = connectionWrapper.GetConnected();

                    SqlCommand comm_Command = new SqlCommand(sql_Syntax, connectionWrapper.conn);
                    comm_Command.CommandTimeout = 0;
                    comm_Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CHAUFFEUR", CHAUFFEUR);
                    comm_Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Trans", ClotList);
                    comm_Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DATE_CLOTUR_REEL", ClotReel);
                    comm_Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DateEnlev", Enlev);
                    comm_Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Unitaire", Unitaire);
                    comm_Command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AGENCE", NomAgence);
                    string IdOrdre = "";
                    SqlDataReader readerOne = comm_Command.ExecuteReader();

                    while (readerOne.Read())
                    {
                        if (IdOrdre != "") IdOrdre += ",";
                        IdOrdre += readerOne["NO_ORDRE"].ToString();
                    }

                    return IdOrdre;
                }
            }
            catch (Exception excThrown)
            {
                throw new Exception(excThrown.Message);
            }
}

but after all I did, why do I still SOMETIMES get a timeout problem?
Do I have to:

*

*delete the .ldf file because it to big

*index my table

*tune my SQL syntax

should i tune this sql:
