Q: xades4j: Sign only one element I'm using this code to sign a xml document:
Document doc = getDocument(xml_to_sign);
Element elemToSign = doc.getDocumentElement();

String file_uri_path = elemToSign.getBaseURI();

DataObjectDesc obj1 = new DataObjectReference(file_uri_path).withType("http://www.gzs.si/shemas/eslog/racun/1.5#Racun");
SignedDataObjects dataObjs = new SignedDataObjects(obj1);

signer.sign(dataObjs, elemToSign);

xml_to_sign is the full path to the xml file.
The problem is, that I would like to sign only the node with the id "data" (#data), but append the signature to the node elemToSign.
Is it possible to do this with xades4j?

A: Yes, it is. The sign method's argument is the parent node, not the element to sign (it could be the same node, depending on the configured references). In your example you should add a reference for "#data":
Document doc = getDocument(xml_to_sign);
Element parent = doc.getDocumentElement();

DataObjectDesc obj1 = new DataObjectReference("#data").withType("http://www.gzs.si/shemas/eslog/racun/1.5#Racun");
SignedDataObjects dataObjs = new SignedDataObjects(obj1);

signer.sign(dataObjs, parent);

Another option is to add a reference for the whole XML document (empty URI) and use a XPath transform.

A: You should specify that the attribute named "Id" in your xml document is the XML ID attribute that Apache Santuario (used internally by Xades4j) will use in the getElementById() (as lgoncalves has pointed out in his commments to his own answer).
Element parent = doc.getDocumentElement();
parent.setIdAttribute("Id", true);
//or parent.setIdAttributeNS("http://your.name.space", "Id", true);

I had the same problem, and this additional line of code solved it.

Q: How to effectively find first gap (missing number) in a sequence starting with N I have a database of products with 8 digit codes starting at number 10000000. I'd like to create a function that copies any given products and gives them new codes: new code = old code + 1. The problem is that i never know if the code already exists in the database, so i'm working on a function that tells me what is the next free code. I'm really stuck on creating any efficient SQL query. There are many questions / answers on SO on this topic, but i couldn't really find any which fits my needs:

*

*Is fast (within seconds) as there could be millions of product codes in a row.

*May start at arbitrary code N (in queries below i use 10000000, but that's just for testing).

*Returns first free code, not next existing code + 1 (even if neither N and N + 1 exist in the database).

*Returns only 1 free code.

I tried:
SELECT
    code + 1
FROM
    db_table DBT1
WHERE
    code >= 10000000
    AND NOT EXISTS
    (
        SELECT
            NULL
        FROM
            db_table DBT2
        WHERE
            DBT2.code = DBT1.code + 1
    )
ORDER BY
    code
LIMIT
    1

Explain returns:
id  select_type             table   type    possible_keys   key     key_len     ref     rows    Extra
1   PRIMARY                 DBT1    index   code            code    99          NULL    1       Using where; Using index
2   DEPENDENT SUBQUERY      DBT2    range   code            code    99          NULL    19859   Using where; Using index

Analyze returns:
id  select_type         table   type    possible_keys   key     key_len     ref     rows    r_rows      filtered    r_filtered  Extra
1   PRIMARY             DBT1    index   code            code    99          NULL    39718   35963.00    100.00      0.00        Using where; Using index
2   DEPENDENT SUBQUERY  DBT2    range   code            code    99          NULL    19859   17988.22    100.00      0.01        Using where; Using index

This query is neither fast as it took 227 s to find a free code (20035953) and did not really return 1st free code because codes between 10000000 and 20000000 were free.
I also tried:
SELECT
    DBT1.code + 1
FROM
    db_table AS DBT1
LEFT JOIN
    db_table AS DBT2 ON DBT2.code = DBT1.code + 1
WHERE
    DBT1.code >= 10000000
    AND DBT2.code IS NULL
LIMIT
    1

Explain returns:
id  select_type     table   type    possible_keys   key     key_len     ref     rows    Extra
1   SIMPLE          DBT1    index   code            code    99          NULL    39718   Using where; Using index
1   SIMPLE          DBT2    ALL     code            NULL    NULL        NULL    39718   Range checked for each record (index map: 0x2)

I guess this query is even less efficient since for the same request it timeouted.

After more testing i tried both queries on production server (server i tested it on should have even more resources) and they both work really fast (< second). I've no idea what's the problem here. Maybe it has something to do with different version on mysql 5.5.5-10.2.16-MariaDB-10.2.16+maria (test) vs 5.5.5-10.4.15-MariaDB-1:10.4.15+maria (production), maybe some weird configuration i don't really understand - as both tables are exactly the same structure and keys. Anyway i decied to go with the first query as it seems to work slightly faster.

After even more testing i "figured" that the problem has something to do with the fact that column code is VARCHAR(32) (because there is sometimes stuff like 80000001-SALE) which i should have had added in the question in the first place. So i guess the database can't work very well like this. In the end i created and used SQL function i added as an answer which i'm not going to accept because it feels kind of hacky to me.

A: Really, if you needed to make returning the first free code faster you could do this:
SELECT code FROM free_codes ORDER BY code LIMIT 1;

Yes, this requires that you have pre-populated a table free_codes. When you want to use the next free code, remove it from this table, so the next time you check, the same query returns a different code (the next free code).
That may seem like a lot of work, but it illustrates a principle that comes up repeatedly in software design:
If the work you need to do takes too long, do part of it in advance and save it.
It's basically the reason why caching works.

A: You can also check mysql's process for executing the query by doing:
EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT stmt_here

Which should help you understand why the query is taking so long, and if your index is actually being used. Check how many rows are being scanned and how long each process is taking, that should narrow down the possible causes of the slow query so you will know what parts of the query need to be fixed.
Also, it may have been a while since the last time someone Analyzed the table. After adding or changing indexes or adding lots of rows to your table, you should use ANALYZE TABLE tablename command so that the mysql optimizer can reevaluate the rank of your indexes, so that way it will make sure to use them correctly and use the best one for each query.
Keep in mind, if most of your records have to be scanned for the query to work, then mysql will choose not to use indexes for a good reason, because it is faster to do sequential reads than to do disk seeks with indexes if it has to scan nearly all the records anyway. So if you know your query has to scan through most or all of the records, then you shouldn't try to force mysql to use the index. However, if you know this is not the case, and mysql isn't using your indexes no matter what you do, then you can always force it to use index with force index command.

A: One possible solution is to create and add SQL function which accepts up to 8 digit (int) code and adds 1 until there is no select-match on db_table. It is possibly not the most efficient thing to do, but it works well on both versions of MariaDB and doesn't care that much about type of code column (it can either be int / varchar). Nice bonus is that it returns N even if it doesn't exist and not next existing code + 1.
DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS nextFreeCode;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE FUNCTION nextFreeCode(code INTEGER(8))
    RETURNS VARCHAR(32)
    DETERMINISTIC
    BEGIN
        DECLARE freeCode INT DEFAULT code;
        DECLARE selectedCode VARCHAR(32) DEFAULT NULL;

        WHILE TRUE DO
        SELECT code INTO selectedCode FROM db_table WHERE code LIKE freeCode LIMIT 1;

        IF selectedCode IS NULL
        THEN
            RETURN freeCode;
        ELSE
            SET selectedCode = NULL;
            SET freeCode = freeCode + 1;
        END IF;
        END WHILE;
    END$$
DELIMITER ;

You can use this function as easy as this:
SELECT nextFreeCode(20001245) AS newCode;


like a steaming cup of cocoa on a winter morning.
The trick is knowing the difference.
Would love to spend a quiet morning with you and hot cocoa sometime, Mary Lee. Thanks for knowing the difference and making a difference.
I love this! So true! Wondering what your fifth graders thought yesterday.
This could be a great project for kids to try -- to find images (both photographic and word-ly metaphoric) for vocabulary words.
But beyond that, thanks for living that difference and showing us how to live it, too.

Q: How can javascript be a synchronous language and run asynchronously in browser and in node.js enviroment? I mean what is the actual difference? I know that it is both interpreted in the browser and the node.js enviroment by the Google v8 engine? So what am I missing here? How can the same code be executed differently?
How can the same language be synchronous and asynchronous together?

A:
How can javascript run synchronous in the browser and asynchronoously in Node.js enviroment?

It doesn't. It runs in a single-threaded*, event-driven manner in both environments. When processing a task (e.g., responding to something that happened), that thread does things synchronously. One of the things it can do (in both environments) is schedule an asynchronous callback to be processed after the current task completes.

How can the same language be synchronous and asynchronous together?

Synchronous vs. asynchronous processing is mostly a matter of environment rather than language. Some languages have features designed to make it easier to use them in multi-threaded environments (as distinct from synchronous/asynchronous ones), and some may have async features built in, but if the language doesn't (and JavaScript doesn't), the environment can provide them.
For example: JavaScript has no way built-in way to schedule an asynchronous callback**. But browsers provide the setTimeout function that does exactly that (as does Node, which also provides nextTick and various others).

* Except that browsers can fire up multiple threads via web workers (and Node code can spawn child processes).
** ES6's promises will change that; resolving or rejecting an ES6 promise is inherently an asynchronous operation (more on that here, here, and here).

Rosa Linn, charlieonafriday and Benson Boone make Shazam's Predictions 2023 playlist
Courtesy Apple Music
Whose songs will you be Shazaming in 2023? The music identification app has released its annual Predictions playlist via Apple Music, featuring 50 artists it predicts are "poised to have a breakthrough year." But you're probably already familiar with some of the five artists the app says have "global breakthrough potential" for 2023: Rosa Linn, charlieonafriday and Benson Boone.
In 2022, Rosa made waves with her song "SNAP," which she performed on the Eurovision Song Contest as the official entry for her home country of Albania. Shazams for the song peaked in October, months after the competition, thanks to the song going viral on TikTok. It topped Shazam's charts in Europe and Asia.
charlieonafriday, born Charlie Finch, currently has a radio hit with "Enough," which showed up on Shazam charts in 40 countries. He tells Apple Music, "I've used Shazam as a fan first for as long as I can remember. It was a really exciting and full-circle moment for me when I realized my fans would be using Shazam to listen to my music in the same way I did, and still do, for my favorite artists."
Over the past year, Benson Boone's songs "Ghost Town" and "In the Stars" each got more than 1 million Shazams and entered the Shazam global chart. "Ghost Town" also got radio airplay in the U.S. He tells Apple Music that, "[It] blows my mind to know people are wanting to know what my songs are!"
Another artist on Shazam's list of potential global stars is drill rapper Ice Spice, whose song "Munch (Feeling You)" peaked at #11 on Shazam's Hip-hop/Rap chart and went viral on TikTok.

APO = LUNAR APOGEE
PER = LUNAR PERIGEE
DIS = DISTANCE (in kilometers)
All data are computer generated for the Moon's position in ecliptic longitude using Esoteric Technologies' Solar Fire Gold software, for lunar apogee and perigee as calculated by Home Planet (listed in the Astronomy Section of Astropro's NetSelect Directory).
If you're familiar with the SuperMoon concept (introduced to the astrological community with my 1979 article for Dell Publishing Company's HOROSCOPE magazine), you already know that I have described a new or full moon which coincides with lunar perigee as an important indicator of extreme tides on Earth. (See Century 21 (CE) SuperMoons for more.) But what of perigee as a thing in itself, regardless of any association with a new or full moon? The table above lists time and zodiacal position data for all of them for 2012, along with the opposite point in the lunar orbit (apogee, maximum distance from Earth). In addition, the actual distance in kilometers from Earth to Moon is shown for each apogee and perigee of the year. The closest perigee of 2012 (May 6, at 356,953 kilometers), is marked with an asterisk; as is the farthest apogee (May 19, at 406,450 kilometers). To put these figures into perspective, the farthest apogee in the period 1750-2125 is 406,720 km. (on February 3, 2125), and the closest possible perigee during this same period is 356,375 km. (on January 4, 1912): see John Walker's excellent article Inconstant Moon: The Moon at Perigee and Apogee for more on this.
Perigee means closest approach to Earth. As I pointed out in my 1979 article, there are hints dating back to Ptolemy (2nd Century CE) that the Moon's perigee is a time of magnified lunar influence on Earth. After all, at lunar perigee the Moon is closest to Earth and therefore its apparent motion as seen from our home planet is greatest. In other words, the Moon is 'swift in course' at such times, to use an archaic astrological term. Regarding the significance of the planets (a term he used to include Sun and Moon, following the practice of his time), Ptolemy advocated paying special attention to any planet "when it may be oriental, swift and direct in its proper course and motion – for it has then its greatest power."1 (Emphasis added.)
A lunar perigee can't match a SuperMoon in terms of tide-raising power, and won't even measure up to an ordinary new or full moon in that respect. These factors, after all, combine Sun, Moon and Earth in alignment (with the added element of lunar perigee included in the case of a SuperMoon). Lunar perigee on the other hand is only a particular class of Earth-Moon alignment. But consider the calamitous January 25, 1999 Colombian earthquake, which struck at 6:19 PM UT on that date – within 30 hours of the January 26 lunar perigee. Coincidence? Perhaps one of many. Such as, for example, the 6.4 Richter that rocked the Loyalty Islands region on February 22; the 6.8 that struck Andreanof Island in the Aleutians on March 20; the 5.6 that hit Hawaii on April 17 (the same day Richter 5.0 quakes struck southern Xinjiang China and the central Mediterranean Sea); the 7.0 temblor that shook up the New Britain region of Papua New Guinea May 14, followed by a 5.1 in the same area on June 13; the 6.6 quake that hit Honduras on July 11 (followed 13 hours later by a 5.8 quake in Pakistan); the 5.0 quake that messed with Mindanao August 8, reprised at 5.3 in the very same place during the very next lunar perigee period (September 1); the Richter 5+ quakes that struck Taiwan, southern Sumatra and Halmahera (both in Indonesia) September 27, followed the next day by a 6.1-magnitude temblor in the Komandorsky Islands region (one of nine Richter 5+ quakes recorded within 30 hours of the September 28 perigee); and the quintet of Richter 5+ quakes logged within 30 hours of the October 26 perigee (including a 5.6 at North Island, New Zealand) - and these comprise only a partial seismicity catalog for a single year.
You might want to consider the dates listed above for the year 2012, and watch the seismic and meteorological developments in the news of the day. I'm guessing that within plus or minus 30 hours of lunar perigee, you'll see a greater than usual number of significant seismic (magnitude 5 or greater quakes, volcanic eruptions) and meteorological events (strong storms). Strike-slip faults in particular, on the other hand, often become active around the time of lunar apogee, particularly if the Moon is at or near maximum declination at the same time. You decide.
And here's something else to observe and test. Within the 30 hours-either way time frame, lunar perigees may signify a general excitation in living things: an upwelling of emotion, excitability, restlessness, etc. Conversely, within the same time window, lunar apogee may indicate just the reverse: a sense of calm, listlessness or even malaise.

Every new puppy has to wait until they are 12 months of age before they can try their paws at starter racing. We love to see a new puppy grow through the ranks, but its great fun when we have a whole team of them growing together! In 2007 we had our first Fylde Coasters puppy boom with Tia, Tasha, Dylan, Nushka, Jethro, Mika, Bobby and Esky all growing up together! To mark the occasion we introduced a new and aptly named starter team - The Fylde Babies! In 2011 we had a 2nd miniboom with Seth, Jenson and Theo moving swiftly through their time in starters. Then, in only their 2nd outing in open competition, and with the help of Tillie (the height dog), the 'three musketeers' went on to smash the clubs previous fasted time!!

Stanley Cup Final | Golden Knights vs. Capitals
Stanley Cup Final
Golden Knights form bond with first responders on way to Cup Final
Firefighters, paramedics say Vegas has taken on 'spirit of city' following Oct. 1 mass shooting
by Nicholas J. Cotsonika @cotsonika / NHL.com Columnist
LAS VEGAS -- Weeks after the worst mass shooting in modern American history, some Las Vegas firefighters needed help.
About 20 had been off duty at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on Oct. 1, enjoying a country music concert one moment, responding to an emergency the next. Others had reported to the scene on the Strip where hundreds were injured and 58 killed.
Eric Littmann, a captain in the Las Vegas Fire & Rescue Department and the president of the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 1285, spoke to Murray Craven, senior vice president of the Vegas Golden Knights, an NHL expansion team and Las Vegas' first major league sports team.
"It was just an unprecedented event with that many injuries and fatalities," Littmann said. "We had some guys that were still struggling. I basically asked him, 'Is there any chance we could have some of these guys meet the team?' It wasn't a hesitation."

The Golden Knights invited them to City National Arena, their practice facility, on Dec. 13. The firefighters watched the team skate and had lunch in the locker room complex. They sat down with owner Bill Foley, general manager George McPhee, and players like forward James Neal and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
The firefighters asked for autographs, and the Golden Knights asked for autographs on fire department T-shirts the firefighters had brought for them.
"We were just, like, bewildered and awestruck by, 'You would want our signatures on the T-shirts?'" said Ben Kole, a firefighter paramedic. "They were that humble and that inquisitive also about our career and what we do. They don't consider themselves above us. They're just part of our community."
Littmann presented the Golden Knights with a yellow fire helmet. Not a replica. Not a new one. One that had endured fires and been condemned.
"I felt that it represented the hard work it had been through, along with the fact that it was thrown aside, similar to the guys on the team being left out and unprotected [in the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft]," Littmann said. "To present Bill Foley and the team with that helmet gave it another chance and a new purpose, just like the guys on the team."
The Golden Knights mounted the helmet on a wall in their locker room complex at City National Arena during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. After they won the Western Conference on May 20, defenseman Deryk Engelland said, "It all comes back to the city and the people affected by [the shooting]."
Publicly, privately, personally, the Golden Knights have inspired and been inspired by them throughout their inaugural season. They will continue to play for them in the Stanley Cup Final against the Washington Capitals, beginning with Game 1 at T-Mobile Arena on Monday (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, SN, TVAS).
"They've propped us up in our time of need, and obviously it's a great story that we're in the Cup Final in our inaugural year," said Scott Scherr, an emergency medicine physician. "I think the team has taken on the spirit of the city after this incident and has embraced the challenges that we've had and really kind of put that on the ice."

Eric Littmann
Littmann was on duty at a fire station the night of Oct. 1. He heard the radio chatter when the shooting started shortly after 10 p.m. When he was notified a union member and his girlfriend had been shot, he headed for the hospitals to make visits. He didn't get back to the station until 3 a.m.
By 5:30 a.m., he was at the union hall on the phone with local and national leadership, mobilizing resources to help members in areas like behavioral health.
That's when he received a text message from Engelland asking if he was OK.
Littmann had known Engelland since before the Golden Knights were born. Littmann and colleagues Gregg Burns and Chris Sproule had started the Las Vegas Firefighters Youth Hockey Foundation in 2012, raising more than $30,000 to help kids get into and stay in the sport. Engelland had played in Las Vegas in the ECHL from 2003-05, met his wife there, and lived there in the offseason. He had played in the foundation's annual charity game each August.
Engelland asked if he and his wife, Melissa, could stop by.
"I was pretty jammed up with stuff," Littmann said. "I basically said, 'We're OK. I appreciate the effort.' He really wasn't going to take no for an answer."
The Engellands showed up at the union hall an hour or two later with a load of food and drink. They sat down with the Littmanns and talked for a while, offering support, asking what they could do.
The Golden Knights visited victims, families, first responders and blood donors. They had reported to training camp in early September and were still getting to know each other and the city, but now they had gone through a shared experience with each other and their new home.
"They didn't have to do this stuff," Burns said. "Nobody asked them to. They wanted to. And I think it's worked both ways as far as bonding them to this city. They're like our family now. It has endeared the city to them, because they went out in such a personal thing. It was such a personal thing for everybody who lived here."
The Golden Knights left for their first regular-season game, at the Dallas Stars on Oct. 6. After trailing 1-0 entering the third period, they won 2-1 when Neal scored the franchise's first goal with 9:33 to go and scored again with 2:44 remaining. Fleury made 45 saves.
Back at the station, the firefighters had the game on television.
"Everybody was just going nuts that they had won, even if they didn't know the difference between a red line and a clothes line," Littmann said. "It was the first time that I certainly felt, I guess, real again. I don't know exactly what term I'm trying to use, but I felt normal again."
Littmann sent Engelland a text message.
"Man, you wouldn't believe the spirits you're lifting here at the fire department," Littmann wrote, according to an article by Engelland in The Players' Tribune. "We were all watching. Keep it going."
Engelland read the message to his teammates on the bus after the game. Players stood and cheered.
"I've never seen anything like that energy," Engelland wrote. "It felt like, in some very small way, we could give people something to feel good about."
Ben Kole
Kole was off duty at the concert the night of Oct. 1. When the shooting started, he had trouble processing what it was, even though a friend knocked him to the ground and they took shelter in a bar nearby.
"You know it's gunshots, but you don't believe it," Kole said. "You're like, 'It couldn't be. There's no way this is what it is.' So we thought they were fireworks."
Once his head cleared, his first thought was his daughter, Rachel, who was on duty at the concert working for Community Ambulance. His friend tried to stop him, but he ran through the crowd to find her.
He found her treating people. They hugged for a moment, then saw other people being carried away. In his frantic search for his daughter, he had tuned out the gunshots. They were still coming from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay across Las Vegas Boulevard.
Knowing firefighters would not be allowed on the scene until it was secured, he called dispatch from his phone and said he wanted a "second medical alarm" to the Tropicana and Reno intersection, because it was farther from the Mandalay Bay and would be safe.
A couple of other firefighters saw he was setting up something and asked what he needed. He told them to stop all vehicles on Giles Street behind the concert venue.
"They were packed with people," Kole said. "We told them to get out to put injured people in, and we told them where to go to deliver the injured so they could get to the hospital as quick as possible."
Kole and his daughter did triage on the spot until about midnight, treating the wounded, prioritizing them and loading them into cars. They waited until about 1 a.m. to make sure no one else needed help, then walked about a mile, bloody, their car locked down, to a place where a family member could pick them up.
On Oct. 9, Kole received a call from Dave Bray, a captain in the department, asking if he'd like to go to a hockey game. Kole was not a hockey fan. He had never been to an NHL game before. But the Golden Knights were playing their home opener against the Arizona Coyotes on Oct. 10, and his daughter was going. He said he'd love to.
When he arrived at T-Mobile Arena, Bray asked if he'd like to go on the ice.
"I go, 'What do you mean go on the ice? What's going on?'" Kole said. "He said, 'They're honoring Oct. 1 people.' I said, 'I can't comprehend that. That would be the biggest honor of my life. That would be awesome.'"
Video: Golden Knights join first responders on ice
Next thing Kole knew, he was first in line when the public address announcer introduced a first responder with each player during the pregame ceremony. He walked out with defenseman Brayden McNabb and stood behind the blue line. He stood through the 58-second moment of silence and the national anthem, as the Golden Knights and the Coyotes stood behind the first responders. He listened to Engelland give a speech.
"I know how special this city is," Engelland told the crowd. "To all the brave first responders that have worked tirelessly and courageously through this whole tragedy, we thank you. To the families and friends of the victims, we'll do everything we can to help you and our city heal. We are Vegas Strong."
Kole said his heart nearly leapt out of his chest. The Golden Knights roared to a 4-0 lead, defeated the Coyotes 5-2 and became the first NHL team to win its first three games. Nine days after the shooting, people were cheering to the Elvis Presley song "Viva Las Vegas."
"I was on the verge of tears, just because it was something that brought our community together," Kole said. "I never imagined how much support from the community we would ever have like that. … It's a night that, I mean, I relive all the time. It's something that is a big [part of the] healing process for me."
Kole filled a shadowbox with mementos from Oct. 10: a puck, a pin, a poster, his ticket and his lanyard. He has an autographed pennant hanging at home. He has been to several games since, including two playoff games, and calls himself a lifetime fan now.
Meanwhile, a picture of Kole from Oct. 10 hangs in the locker room complex at City National Arena, next to the fire helmet. Each day the Golden Knights pass the image of Kole, hand over his heart, McNabb behind him, and the words "VEGAS STRONG."
"It gave, I think, a lot of us something to hold onto, something to be proud of our home," Kole said. "Vegas is a very transient town, and what's neat about what's going on is that this is the first time I've ever really heard, in the 40 years that I've lived here, people say, 'This is my town.' And that means a lot to me, because I do love Vegas."
Scott Scherr
Scherr was off duty at home the night of Oct. 1. He was the medical director at Sunrise Hospital and the regional medical director for TeamHealth. When the shooting started, his phone lit up with calls and messages.
He put on his scrubs and drove to Sunrise. Normally, it takes him about 25 to 30 minutes. This time, he made it in about 15. Initial radio reports were of two dead and multiple people injured. He had no idea what was to come.
The ambulance bay was crammed with trucks and taxis and Ubers and wheelchairs and gurneys. Thirteen area hospitals treated patients that night, but Sunrise treated the most, even though it wasn't the highest-level trauma center in the area. Eighty percent of patients were transported by private vehicles. Internet searches told drivers to go there.
Sunrise's emergency department has about 45 beds. It received 212 documented patients within a span of about 60 minutes, and 30 were admitted to intensive care.
"If it wasn't for all the resources and all the staff that came in, those 30 patients that were saved could have easily been 30 more deaths," Scherr said.
Doctors performed 27 of what they call "damage-control surgeries" that night. They did 53 surgeries in the first 24 hours and more than 80 within the first week.
Scherr worked the first 21 hours straight after not sleeping the day before.
"Part of my job was to make sure that the emergency department was able to function the next day, because we still had a city to take care of," Scherr said. "The ER wasn't going to close its doors. We had a great response of people that came in that night, but we also had a tremendous response of nurses and physicians that came and took over for those of us that were just beat and tired."
Afterward, Scherr and his wife, Rebecca, a pediatric gastroenterologist, went on a planned vacation to Maui. They watched the Golden Knights' pregame ceremony and home opener on television.
"Man, we were on the couch in tears," Scherr said.
The Scherrs had bought season tickets, but they weren't big hockey fans and thought they might go to half the home games, maybe even fewer, thanks to two physicians' busy schedules. After all this, if they were in town and the Golden Knights had a home game, they were there.
On Dec. 3, when the Golden Knights defeated the Coyotes 3-2 in overtime, Scherr was honored as the "Vegas Strong Hero of the Game." The Engellands helped develop the program and bought tickets to home games for people affected by the shooting. Melissa Engelland met Scherr and his wife beforehand and gave them a gift bag that included a Deryk Engelland jersey and a Vegas Strong T-shirt. Scherr was introduced on the scoreboard screen during the game.
"When you're on the Jumbotron and 18,000 people stand up and applaud …" Scherr said, his voice trailing off. "Wow. Absolutely amazing. Amazing experience. Amazing night. It helped emotionally with not just myself but with my wife, because she's had to live through some struggles and things that I have had since Oct. 1."
Engelland met with the Scherrs after the game. He signed the jersey and other items, then asked if there was anything else he could do. Scherr asked if the rest of the players could sign the jersey too. Engelland got it done. The jersey is framed and hanging in Scherr's office. Scherr and his wife wear No. 17 "VEGAS STRONG" jerseys to games.
Like Littmann, Burns, Kole and many like them, Scherr keeps in touch with Engelland.
"The fact that during the playoffs I'm able to text him and talk to him and congratulate him on his victories and things like that, it makes the community of us feel part of the team, and it's not fake," Scherr said. "It's totally real what this team, and especially what Deryk, has done for this community. It's totally genuine and totally from his heart. It's awesome."
'Pretty amazing'
These are just examples. Think of all the others the Golden Knights honored Oct. 10 -- firefighters, police officers, paramedics, nurses, doctors. Think of all the others they have honored at games all season -- victims, families, first responders. Think of all the others they have touched directly and indirectly.
Burns, Littmann and Sproule used to be the only ones watching hockey at fire stations. Now Golden Knights flags fly from the backs of fire engines, and Golden Knights games are on televisions.
"We always have NHL Network on," Burns said. "When there's a game, everyone's in the kitchen howling and hollering. I have so many friends whose kids have started skating."
Something has changed across town.
"Prior to Oct. 1, if you asked people where they were from, and they would say Boston or New York or California or wherever," Scherr said. "Now everybody says, 'I'm from Las Vegas.' Even folks that grew up watching the Boston Bruins or the Chicago Blackhawks and all that kind of stuff, they've stripped those jerseys and put on the black and gold and red. Pretty amazing."
The impact will last a long, long time.
"It's just an amazing, amazing experience," Littmann said. "I told my wife, Julie, we're going to tell our grandchildren one day about the positive things that happened in one of the worst tragedies in this country."

Answers to prayer
OPEN DOORS MAGAZINE - July 2019
Abishek trusts in Jesus. That makes him a threat, according to the Hindu extremist movement the RSS. They have publically stated their aim to wipe out non-Hindu religions in India by 2021. It may sound impossible: there are 60 million Christians in India. But this threat is far from empty. The RSS has close ties to India's re-elected BJP government and is willing to use extreme violence to achieve its goal. If we don't strengthen the church now, many people may be lost forever

This course will guide students through the complex issues of determining what activities should or should not take place on land use planning. By examining an Aboriginal Land Use Plan, the approved regional Lands and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) and the approved First Nations area Agreement students will learn the various components that go into land use planning; the major issues surrounding resource use and development; including multiple perspectives; and the social and economic impacts these decisions have on communities. Students will learn about the technical structures of land use planning, and the art of developing consensus decisions. The technical components are primary activities that will include lab fieldwork such as Identification of invasive species and noxious weeds whilst carefully examining a salmon spawning channel; discussion of mitigation/restoration methods and; actively engage in species identification of both animal and plants.
Prerequisites : ENGL 060, ENGL 12 or equivalent.
conduct species identification of both animals and plants.

Have we ever thought why our parents and teachers always insist on having a healthy food? Healthy food is one of the most important part in leading a healthy life. Combined with physical activity, a balanced food can help us to reach and maintain a healthy weight. Healthy food habits can reduce the risk of chronic diseases. It can also improve our concentration and promotes our overall health.
However, it is worrying that obesity among children is growing, worldwide. For six to eleven year old children, the rate of obesity increased from four percent in the seventies to a staggering eighteen percent in 2010. One of the key factors which contributed to this shocking trend is bad food habits and the increasing fascination towards Junk Food. Children who are overweight or obese are more likely to be obese as adults. Being overweight or obese can put children at a higher risk for health problems such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, etc. during childhood and as they age.
The famous proveb' Health is wealth' reminds us about the importance of good health. Healthy eating habits is one of the vital part in achieving good health. We should always try to take a balanced diet that contains the correct proportions of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water. We should include more vegetables and fruits in our daily life as vegetables can provide nutrients vital for health and maintenance of your body. However busy we are on a day, we should never skip breakfasts and should ideally have a light dinner. We are always fascinated by the world of Burgers, Chips, fried chicken and soft drinks. A regular consumption of these food can have terrible health implications and can make you obese with other health complications. These food are now correctly described as 'Junk'. We should strictly avoid these food or should take steps for a drastic reduction of this group from our lifestyle In. recent years, a growing trend toward vegetarianism has arisen among young people due to their increasing awareness of health, the environment and compassion for animals.
As children, let's take a pledge that we will avoid junk Foods and accept a healthy life style. Moreover, we should also work towards spreading the awareness among our friends about the importance of health food.
I hope you will continue to give more and more.
Wow speech is good..kya bath ha?
I hope to write about (advice to tourists).
Yeah!! This was DAMN helpful!! Thanks a TON, kidsEssays and divya thomas!!
can i borrow this, to be delivered by a student in grade 5 in the nutrition program of the school.

Nice essay 😍 Keep it up .
very good for inspiring the children to eat healthy food and please write more and more essays .

Q: fourier coefficient of an impulse train HI: I'm going through the signals and systems Schaum's book and I don't understand something that I hope someone could clear up for me. I will repeat the question and then  explain the part where I'm confused.
Consider the impulse train defined by
$\delta_{t_{0}}(t) = \sum_{k= -\infty}^{\infty} \delta(t - kT_{0})$.
They show a picture which is a series of spikes each separated by the distance $T_{0}$.
But I can't show it here, atleast easily.
The question is:
a) Determine the complex exponential Fourier series of $\delta_{T_{0}}(t)$.
b) Determine the trigonometric Fourier series of $\delta_{T_{0}}(t)$.
Then they go through the solution and the part I don't get is the following:
They have: $c_{k} = \frac{1}{T_{0}} \int_{-\frac{T_{0}}{2}}^\frac{T_{0}}{2} \delta(t) \exp^{-jkw_{0} t} dt = \frac{1}{T_{0}}$.
I don't understand how they obtain $\frac{1}{T_{0}}$. Thank you very much for any help with this. Oh, I assume that the leaving out of the $T_{0}$ as the subscript of $\delta(t)$
in the integral was just a typo. Thanks again.

A: Recall the sifting property of the dirac delta function. In general, $\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(\tau)\delta(\tau-(t-T))d\tau = f(t-T)$. This can be useful in simplifying integral expressions
$$c_{k} = \frac{1}{T_{0}} \int_{-\frac{T_{0}}{2}}^\frac{T_{0}}{2} \delta(t) \exp^{-jkw_{0} t} dt = \frac{1}{T_{0}} \exp^{0} = \frac{1}{T_{0}}$$
EDIT: Removed the term $\delta(0)$ from the expression $\frac{1}{T_{0}} \exp^{0}$.

A: You need to understand properties of an impulse. Firstly, It  is defined that an impulse has an area of 1. Secondly, if you multiply f(t) with an impulse ,δ(t−kT0), it gives you the an impulse at T0 whose area is 1*f(T0). Therefore integral of δ(t)exp−jkw0t is equal to exp (0)=1.Hope you got what I mean.


When I moved across the country to go to school at Utah State University (not knowing a soul), Sarah was one of the first people who went out their way to befriend me. And it meant more to me than she probably knows. Her and Grant started dating about the same time Braxton and I did, and it's been so fun to follow along with their life and marriage via good old social media for the past five years.
These guys are just freaking cool humans who have interesting hobbies like bee-keeping and fencing, go on awesome trips abroad, and come up with witty Halloween costumes every year. Plus I've never seen them not smiling.
So here's a big fat thanks to Sarah and Grant for booking a session this fall so we had an excuse to hangout for a bit. I'm grateful to have a job that allows me to constantly connect with old (and new) friends.


The race has 13,423' of elevation gain and is rated one of the toughest 50 mile trail races in the Country. This race is not for the squimish, the easily intimidated, or the undertrained. It has twelve fully stocked aid stations ready to support your needs be it a hot drink or a cold compress.
The race is divided into two loops, a technical singletrack through chaparral with possible stream crossings. The 2nd loop is a combination of single track and truck trail. There is a total of 13,400' of climb, with one continuous climb of 4000' between Holy Jim Canyon and the summit of Santiago Peak.
3 deep overall and age groups depending on numbers.


I always loved to create PICTURES THAT MOVE.
Soon after studying MultiMediaArt I founded my own business and started working behind the CAMERA and PRODUCING VIDEOS.
Shaping ideas, developing concepts, shooting, post production & customer care are the main components of a work flow that leads to creating fantastic and convincing films.
corporate videos, documentary formats, music videos, image spots, commercials and whatever comes to mind.
