I believe strongly in the importance of the pharmacist collaborating with the medical team and the impact they have on improving patient safety. Having a pharmacist on the patient care team can drastically reduce drug errors while the patient is in the hospital. Maybe more importantly is the work that pharmacists can do to help patients during transition of care from the hospital or other care settings to home. This service, called Medication Reconciliation, is an important part of both the intake and discharge of patients from a care setting.
A recent article, "Drug Regimens a Key Focus for Better Fall Prevention" from Pharmacy Practice News shows pharmacists can dramatically reduce fall prevention – improving patient safety and reducing cost and risk for the health system.
And that's just one hospital – at a national level the numbers are staggering!
Do you have a pharmacist counsel your patients on discharge? Does your hospital encourage pharmacists to collaborate with your medical team to ensure medication regimes are appropriate for not only during the hospital stay but for their next care transition?
We deliver a comprehensive pharmacy automation system built around our powerful software platform, AutoPharm® Enterprise. Talyst's products can integrate with all of your existing pharmacy and information systems to ensure success in your pharmacy management operations.
Our pharmacy automation technology can help reduce costs and increase productivity while improving accuracy and patient safety. Talyst is committed to improving health by providing automated systems that ensure the precise and consistent delivery of medications.


text: Q: How to create a whitelist on the Central device (Bluetooth) I want to create a whitelist on the Central device. Because there is a lot of peripheral devices around and I just want to connect one peripheral device. First I register the address of the central device to the peripheral device. When I work with a single peripheral device and a single central device, connection establishes and I can send commands from the central device to the peripheral device. But when I have more than one peripheral device in the vicinity, I can not send commands to the peripheral device registered from the central device. So I decided to create whitelist on the central device to connect the peripheral device which I registered before. But I don't know how to create a whitelist on the Central device. Do you have any example? (except ble_app_hrs)

I'm new to the Forum so thought I'd pitch straight in with some pictures of my custom Rory that I received today! I've been a big fan of Rory's since I heard Off The Handle when I borrowed the Top Priority album from the local library in the 80's. A local blues band that I'd interviewed for a University radio documentary even played it for me on my birthday as they knew i was a big fan. I've been wanting a Rory strat for a long time and finally commissioned this nearly 11 months ago.
Some specs - Bare Knuckle Irish Tour Pickups, custom 7 way pick up wiring loom using a push/push system to give some extra sound options and a Dave Gilmour sound if I want, mismatched tuners and replaced pearl dot at 12th fret.
That's a nice piece o' work! I'll bet it sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing the pictures!
a few more pics one here; but i can't work out how to post pictures properly!
two piece light weight alder body with the correct placed seam, musikraft neck; nitro finished and as many other details as i could possibly recreate.. been a bit of a labour of love; but i think it worked out pretty well in the end and a happy customer !!
Hi Buzz, that is one cool piece of gear !! May I ask where you got a hold of the bridge ? I am looking to do a build myself and thought the bridge was a standard USA stratocaster bridge with the stamped Fender saddles, but apparently not ?

To follow on from Dominics reply, I'd also say that as Rory was changing and swapping parts throughout the years it also depends how close you want it to be - in looks only or down to the last part? The wiring on mine has been 'hot rodded' for want of a better word, purely because this guitar has been built to be played. Rory seemed to have a very practical approach to his #1 and I'm sure it would've kept evolving. Good luck with your build!
Noticed that the saddles on hos main strat are different here - it seems they have a rounded, shaped string hole.

that kinda sums up buzz's comment about the strat being very much worked on in its time..

You have a few retirement accounts that you pretty much ignore – one with your current workplace and a couple more from your past jobs.
If that sounds familiar, then you're one of the many Americans who find 401k plans confusing. How do they work? How can you manage them? What should you invest in to maximize your return on investment?
All these are valid questions that a Dallas financial planner can answer.
Let's begin with the basics: understanding what 401k plans are and how they work.
A 401k plan is the most common type of defined contribution retirement plan. Technically, it is an arrangement that allows an employee to choose between taking compensation in cash or deferring a certain percentage of it to a 401k account under the plan.
The procedure is quite simple. All you have to do is decide how much you want to contribute and your employer will put the money into your account through payroll deduction. The employer works with a third party, such as a mutual fund company, a brokerage firm or an insurance company to administer the plan and its investments.
It is important to keep in mind that the 401k plan is a retirement plan, not a savings account. In other words, you won't have easy access to the money you place in your 401k. However, some plans do allow loans and hardship withdrawals, but the rules are restrictive. So make sure you go through all the possible scenarios with your financial planner.
If you think you can't afford it and you decide to put off participating in your 401k, remember that the sooner you start contributing, the better. Even though it may seem like an effort right now, it pays off in the long run.
When it comes to making financial decisions, it is always best to work and take advice from professionals. If you are looking for a Dallas financial planner, get in touch with us at Exemplify Financial, where you will find a qualified team that can help you make the best investment decisions.

So much detail and effort has gone into creating the Guardian™ Warm Roof, you only need to see the cleverly contoured tiles and low profile ridge and capping's to appreciate that. This affordably priced roofing solution will complement any house type in Wiltshire. Typically, the Guardian™ Warm Roof is used for replacing old glass or polycarbonate roofs and can be done without the need for any existing windows, doors, frames and walls to be removed. Despite the retention of these crucial elements of any extension, the addition of the roof will result in significant energy cost savings. This insulated roof system contains rigid insulation board, insulated plasterboard, exterior grade plywood and has come through a series of testing methods to prove its thermal and structural standards.
Insulated - It's no good having a conservatory or orangery that you can only use at certain times of the year. It needs to be properly insulated so that you can head to the extension as and when you have a desire to throughout the entire year. A Guardian roof will supply the necessary insulation as it contains a rigid insulation board and insulated plywood.
Solid Feel - There's a reason why it's called a solid roof and that's because it a rock solid performer. The standard of thermal efficiency it offers will spread through the whole of the extension to keep the whole family comfortable. While there will be a little loss of natural light, still expect a solid roofed design to feel bright inside.
Solid Look - The popularity of the Guardian roof can be put down to many factors, but the authentic appearance of the tiles / slates is a big one. When replacing an old roofing system it was imperative that a Guardian roof outdid it in terms of looks as much as performance.
Simple Fit - Guardian roofs can be fitted very quickly as a lot of prefabrication occurs off-site. This ensures that the minimum of disruption occurs at your home and we will fast be in and out of the place.
To err on the side of caution you may prefer to stick with a classic painted plasterboard as time and time again it has shown its worth to extension owners. For the more daring out there, a timber clad finish is worth some consideration as it promises to add richness and texture to inside of the extension. This will most come to the fore during the dark winter months. A centre pivot timber roof window is a further thought if you'd like a kind of 'cabin-style' effect.
There's no hiding away from the fact that some sunlight will be sacrificed upon the installation of a solid roofing system, but there is an easy solution. Just fit one or more roof windows in the roof covering to let the sun burst its way in and bring brightness to the structure throughout the daytime. These roof windows will also be useful for ventilation whenever exceptionally hot weather conditions outside can be felt inside.
Lightweight Tile – None of the problems you associate with authentic tiles will occur with these lightweight tiles as they are incredibly resilient. Available in colours of green, red, charcoal, ebony and umber, they're unbelievably similar in appearance to traditional tiles, but offer far greater reliability.
Lightweight Slate – Traditional slate has a tendency to crack when exposed to the elements over a long period and once it has cracked it can result in a whole host of roofing issues. So, we decided to create a lightweight slate that looks like the real thing, but won't suffer from cracking or any other aesthetic damage. Choose from the following slate colours – stone, plum, pewter grey, brick red and black.
When the roof of your conservatory or orangery starts to lose its finish it can be detrimental to the appearance of the entire design. The colours applied to our lightweight tiles and lightweight slates are subjected to testing to ensure this doesn't happen. Even years down the line, an immaculate finish will be on display and show the extension off in a good light.


Soil Amendment & Sod Topper WCFCP special blend developed for easy application to new lawns and established turf. Gives a boost to tired turf or head start to new growth.
This soil amendment is an enriched organic material with a fine texture that can be applied directly, or broadcast to enhance new growth on existing sod and other grasses that need a boost. Can also be applied as the top soil for new sod and grass seed. Also an excellent soil amendment for large areas like vegetable gardens and extensive flower beds.

Random polygon islands 3... one big one.
I found out recently that I have been awarded a Professional Project Grant from the Newfoundland & Labrador Arts Council to work on an interactive digital art project. My proposed project is to create an ecology-themed game artwork, tentatively titled Make No Wonder. I've posted a little about it on my Projects page.
This project is a progression from a couple of previous art-game projects, Probable System and Favimon. Probable System is an exploration game that takes place in a typographical world inspired by Canadian experimental poet bpNichol (it can be played online at probable.ca). Favimon lets you collect and battle your websites based on their favicons in a never-ending quest to capture every website, and can be found at favimon.com. In February 2011, Favimon won the Most Original award in the Mozilla Labs Game On 2010 open web gaming contest. I wrote a long blog post about developing Favimon for the Mozilla Labs blog.
I'm really thrilled and honoured to have received the Arts Council grant. I put a lot of work into my application, but wasn't sure the committee would go for it; the idea of games as artwork is still something that has not gained wide acceptance. I am incredibly grateful to the NLAC for granting me the opportunity to really focus on this project over the summer, and am looking forward to documenting the project here as I go.

Search affinity for non-multisite cluster
This topic introduces cluster architecture. It describes the components of a cluster and how they work together. It also describes some essential concepts and briefly describes how clusters handle indexing and searching.
For a deeper dive into cluster architecture, read the chapter "How clusters work".
Components of a cluster
A cluster includes three types of Splunk components:
A single master node to manage the cluster.
Several peer nodes to index and replicate data and search the data later.
One or more search heads to coordinate searches across all the peer nodes.
In addition, a cluster deployment usually employs forwarders to ingest and forward data to the peers.
Master nodes, peer nodes, and search heads are all specialized types of Splunk indexers.
Here's a diagram of a simple cluster, with a few peers and some forwarders sending data to them:
Some of what's happening in this diagram might not make sense yet; read on.
The master node manages the cluster. It coordinates the replicating activities of the peer nodes and tells the search head where to find data. It also helps manage the configuration of peer nodes and orchestrates remedial activities if a peer goes offline.
Unlike the peer nodes, the master does not index external data. A cluster has exactly one master node.
Important: The master cannot do double duty as a peer node or a search head, and it cannot reside on the same machine as a peer node or search head.
Peer node
Peer nodes perform the indexing function for the cluster. They receive and index incoming data. They also send replicated data to other peer nodes in the cluster and receive replicated data from other peers. A peer node can index its own external data while simultaneously receiving and sending replicated data. Like all indexers, peers also search across their indexed data in response to search requests from the search head.
The number of peer nodes you deploy is dependent on two factors: the cluster replication factor and the indexing load. For example, if you have a replication factor of 3 (which means you intend to store three copies of your data), you need at least three peers. If you have more indexing load than three indexers can handle, you can add more peers to increase capacity.
Search head
The search head manages searches across the set of peer nodes. It distributes search queries to the peers and consolidates the results. You initiate all searches from the search head. A cluster must have at least one search head.
Forwarder
Forwarders function the same as in any Splunk deployment. They consume data from external sources and then forward that data to an indexer; in the case of a cluster, to a peer node. You are not required to use forwarders to get data into a cluster, but, for most purposes, you will want to. This is because only with forwarders can you enable indexer acknowledgment, which is Splunk's way of ensuring that incoming data gets reliably indexed. In addition, to deal with potential peer node failures, it's advisable to use load-balancing forwarders. That way, if one peer goes down, the forwarder can switch its forwarding to other peers in the load-balanced group. For more information on forwarders in a clustered environment, read "Use forwarders to get your data" in this manual.
Important concepts
To understand how a cluster functions, you need to be familiar with a few concepts:
Replication factor. This determines the number of copies of data the cluster maintains and therefore, the cluster's fundamental level of failure tolerance.
Search factor. This determines the number of searchable copies of data the cluster maintains, and therefore how quickly the cluster can recover its searching capability after a peer node goes down.
Buckets. Buckets are the basic units of index storage. A cluster maintains replication factor number of copies of each bucket.
This section provides a brief introduction to these concepts.
As part of configuring the master, you specify the number of copies of data that you want the cluster to maintain. The number of copies is called the cluster's replication factor. The replication factor is a key concept in index replication, because it determines the cluster's failure tolerance: a cluster can tolerate a failure of (replication factor - 1) peer nodes. For example, if you want to ensure that your system can handle the failure of two peer nodes, you must configure a replication factor of 3, which means that the cluster stores three identical copies of your data on separate nodes. If two peers go down, the data is still available on a third peer.
Here's a high-level representation of a cluster with three peers and a replication factor of 3:
In this diagram, one peer is receiving data from a forwarder, which it processes and then streams to two other peers. The cluster will contain three complete copies of the peer's data. This diagram represents a very simplified version of peer replication, where all data is coming into the system through a single peer. In most three-peer clusters, all three peers would be receiving external data from a forwarder, as well as replicated data from other peers.
For a detailed discussion of the replication factor and the trade-offs involved in adjusting its value, see the topic "Replication factor".
When you configure the master, you also designate a search factor. The search factor determines the number of immediately searchable copies of data the cluster maintains.
Searchable copies of data require more storage space than non-searchable copies, so it's best to limit the size of your search factor to fit your exact needs. For most situations, you should leave the search factor set to its default value of 2. This allows the cluster to continue searches with little interruption if a single peer node goes down.
The difference between a searchable and a non-searchable copy of some data is this: The searchable copy contains both the data itself and some extensive index files that Splunk uses to search the data. The non-searchable copy contains just the data. Even the data stored in the non-searchable copy, however, has undergone initial processing and is stored in a form that makes it possible to recreate the index files later, if necessary.
For a detailed discussion of the search factor and the trade-offs involved in adjusting its value, see the topic "Search factor".
Splunk stores indexed data in buckets, which are directories containing files of data. An index typically consists of many buckets.
A complete cluster maintains replication factor number of copies of each bucket, with each copy residing on a separate peer node. The bucket copies are either searchable or non-searchable. A complete cluster also has search factor number of searchable copies of each bucket.
Buckets contain two types of files: a rawdata file, which contains the data along with some metadata, and - for searchable copies of buckets - index files into the data.
The cluster replicates data on a bucket-by-bucket basis. The original bucket and its copies on other peer nodes have identical sets of rawdata, although only searchable copies also contain the index files.
Each time a peer creates a new bucket, it communicates with the master to get a list of peers to stream the bucket's data to. If you have a cluster in which the number of peer nodes exceeds the replication factor, a peer might stream data to a different set of peers each time it creates a new bucket. Eventually, the copies of the peer's original buckets are likely to be spread across a large number of peers, even if the replication factor is only 3.
You need a good grasp of buckets to understand cluster architecture. For an overview of buckets in general, read "How Splunk stores indexes". Then read the topic "Buckets and clusters". It provides detailed information on bucket concepts of particular importance for a clustered deployment.
Clustered indexing functions like non-clustered indexing, except that the cluster stores multiple copies of the data. Each peer node receives, processes, and indexes external data - the same as any non-clustered indexer. The key difference is that the peer node also streams copies of the processed data to other peers in the cluster, which then store those copies in their own buckets. Some of the peers receiving the processed data might also index it. The replication factor determines the number of peers that receive the processed copies of data. The search factor determines the number of peers that index the data.
A peer node can be indexing external data while simultaneously storing, and potentially indexing, copies of replicated data sent to it from other peers. For example, if you have a cluster with three peer nodes that's configured with a replication factor of 3, each peer can be ingesting and indexing external data while also storing copies of replicated data streamed to it by the other peers. If the cluster's search factor is 2, one of the peers receiving a copy of streamed data will also be indexing it. (In addition, the peer that originally ingests the data always indexes its own copy.) This diagram shows the movement of data into peers, both from forwarders and from other peers:
Note: You can set up your cluster so that all the peer nodes ingest external data. This is the most common scenario. You do this simply by configuring inputs on each peer node. However, you can also set up the cluster so that only a subset of the peer nodes ingest data, although there's currently little reason to do this. No matter how you disperse your inputs across the cluster, all the peer nodes can, and likely will, also store replicated data. The master determines which peer nodes will get replicated data. You cannot currently configure this.
In addition to replicating indexes of external data, the peers also replicate their internal indexes, such as _audit, _internal, etc.
The master manages the peer-to-peer interactions. Most importantly, it tells each peer what peers to stream its data to. Once the master has communicated this, the peers then exchange data with each other, without the master's involvement, unless a peer node goes down. The master also keeps track of which peers have searchable data and ensures that there are always search factor number of copies of searchable data available. When a peer goes down, the master coordinates remedial activities.
For detailed information, read the topic "How clustered indexing works".
How search works
In a cluster, a search head coordinates all searches. The process is similar to how distributed searches work in a non-clustered environment. The main difference is that the search head relies on the master to tell it who its search peers are. Also, there are various processes in place to ensure that a search occurs over one and only one copy of each bucket.
To ensure that exactly one copy of each bucket participates in a search, one searchable copy of each bucket in the cluster is designated as primary. Searches occur only across the set of primary copies. The set of primary copies can change over time, for example, in response to a peer node going down. If some of the bucket copies on the downed node were primary, other searchable copies of those buckets will be made primary to replace them. If there are no other searchable copies (because the cluster has a search factor of 1), non-searchable copies will first have to be made searchable before they can be designated as primary.
The master keeps track of all bucket copies on all peer nodes, and the peer nodes themselves know the status of their bucket copies. That way, in response to a search request, a peer knows which of its bucket copies to search.
Periodically, the search head gets a list of active search peers from the master. To handle searches, it then communicates directly with those peers, as it would for any distributed search, sending search requests and replication bundles to the peers and consolidating search results returned from the peers.
For example, assume a cluster of three peers is maintaining 20 buckets that need to be searched to fulfill a particular search request coming from the search head. Primary copies of those 20 buckets could be spread across all three peers, with 10 primaries on the first peer, six on the second, and four on the third. Each peer gets the search request and then determines for itself whether its particular copy of a bucket is primary and therefore needs to participate in the search.
For detailed information, read the topic "How clustered search works".
How clusters deal with node failure
If a peer node goes down, the master coordinates attempts to reproduce the peer's buckets on other peers. For example, if a downed node is storing 20 copies of buckets, of which 10 were searchable (including three primary bucket copies), the master will direct efforts to store copies of those 20 buckets on other nodes. It will likewise make sure that the 10 searchable copies are replaced by searchable copies of the same buckets on other nodes.
If there are less nodes remaining than the number specified by the replication factor, the cluster will not be able to replace the 20 missing copies. If there are less nodes remaining than the number specified by the search factor, the cluster will not be able to replace the 10 missing searchable copies.
In any case, the cluster should be able to handle the missing primary bucket copies by designating copies of those buckets on other peers as "primary", so that the data continues to be fully accessible to the search head. The only case in which the cluster cannot maintain a full set of primary copies is if a replication number of nodes goes down. For example, if you have a cluster of five peer nodes, with a replication factor of 3, you will still have a full set of primary copies if one or two peers go down but not if a third peer goes down.
As mentioned earlier, it takes some time to make a copy of a bucket searchable. When the search factor is set to 1, the cluster is maintaining just a single set of searchable buckets. If a peer that was maintaining some primary copies goes down, the cluster must first make some non-searchable copies searchable before it can designate them as primary to replace the missing primaries. While this process is occurring, the cluster has an incomplete set of primary buckets. During that time, searches can continue, but only across the set of available searchable buckets. Eventually, the cluster will replace all the searchable copies and designate them as "primary'". Searches can then occur across the full set of buckets.
If, on the other hand, the search factor is at least 2, the cluster can immediately designate as "primary" searchable copies on the remaining nodes. The activity to replace the searchable copies on the downed node will still occur, but in the meantime searches can continue uninterrupted across all the cluster's data.
For detailed information, read the topic "What happens when a peer node goes down".
If a master node goes down, peer nodes can continue to index and replicate data, and the search head can continue to search across the data, for some period of time. Problems eventually will arise, however, particularly if one of the peers goes down. There's no way to recover from peer loss without the master, and the search head will then be searching across an incomplete set of data. Generally speaking, the cluster continues as best it can without the master, but the system is in an inconsistent state and results cannot be guaranteed.

Friend of mine helped me talk to the guys over at Swift Springs to make some springs for our cars.
Those who doesn't know about Swift, they make one of the best springs out there. A lot of Off the Shelf coilovers offer Swift Springs as an upgrade.
Whats your thought? Are you willing to pay up to $600? $300?
boost_lee and SaberOne like this.
Funny, I was thinking about reaching out to them the other day. I LOVED my swift springs on my 370z. They rode more comfortable than stock suspension and offered much more control in the corners. They had an excellent progressive spring rate and I felt much more confident driving the Swifts hard than my coilover setup. Same story on my friends Evo IX.
My Eibachs on the SS are ok, but the ride is so-so and I wish the front was a tad lower. Did they mention any specifics?
I would be very interested in a set of Spec-R springs @ $400 or less with a better drop than the Eibachs, maybe 1.4F 1.3R to keep a raked look and still set them apart from the drop heights on King springs?
Last edited by boost_lee; 04-13-2019 at 02:47 AM.
First I've heard/read about Swift Springs. I've always wanted a set springs that lowers the ride by a mere 1-inch. I tend to drink coffee when I drive, so I prefer not to stain the headliner. Based on the ratio posted by boost_lee perhaps 1.0"F x 3/4"R.
Currently, I guess the Street - Sport Springs is the less aggressive option. In any event; yes, I would be interested, but I have no point of reference as to cost.
what experience does Swift have in US/AUS cars/suspensions/geometry? There website shows predominantly Honda/Acura/Toyota/Lexus. price points mean nothing if legit R&D is not going into the spring design. Most of the current market provides a few options for springs that lower 1" or more, there might be more interest in springs that only lower .5" for everyone else. The springs would also need to accommodate MRC and non-MRC cars while not altering the shocks abilities.
I'm guessing it'll just be the Sport springs, not the Spec R. Also when you say better drop as in lower/higher ride height or spring rates?
First I've heard/read about Swift Springs. I've always wanted a set springs that lowers the ride by a mere 1-inch. I tend to drink coffee when I drive, so I prefer hot to stain the headliner. Based on the ratio posted by boost_lee perhaps 1.0"F x 3/4"R.
I would be all the over a setup that lowered front no more than 1 inch, and the same or little less in the rear while preserving OEM spring rates or very close. The stock springs are near perfect compromise IMO except for ride height. I don't care about cost so much if I could get the perfect (for me) lowering spring.
I'm interested. I have Eibachs now and they're working out great but wouldn't mind some that was actually not as low especially since I want to go wider on the tires.
I've had both Swift and RCE on my WRXs and Evo. Loved them. I reached to RCE when I first got my SS a year ago but never heard back. Didn't think to reach out to Swift.
id be interested in a 1inch drop as long as the price is within reason of eibach and king.
I had a set of Swift's on my Evo X and loved em.

MSMEs will play important role in job creation, says Union Minister Gadkari
ANI | August 17, 2019 05:32 PM
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari speaking at an event in Nagpur, Maharashtra on August 17.
Nagpur (Maharashtra) [India], Aug 17 (ANI): Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday said that Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) will play an important role in the job creation in the country.
Speaking at 'Laghu Udyog Bharati Rashtriya Adhiveshan' here, Gadkari said: "There are six crore MSMEs in the country. Out of them, 2 crore units have not registered themselves as MSME as of now. Till now 11.5 crore people have got employment in this sector. We have set a target of 5 crore new jobs from this sector."
"We have to work on achieving the target of becoming 5 trillion dollar economy set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In the GDP growth, 29 per cent growth belongs to MSMEs. In export, there is 40 per cent contribution of MSMEs," Gadkari said.
The Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises said: "We have to increase our export and limit the import. We have to do maximum capital investment in MSME sector to create job opportunities."
He spoke people living villages. "Today 65 per cent people live in rural areas. At the time of Mahatma Gandhi, 80 per cent of people lived in rural areas.
"So we also have to think about reforms in rural sector which include agriculture, handlooms, handicrafts and agro-processing industries," he added. (ANI)

Does anyone have any better suggestions (preferably free online services)

A: There have been several other questions on SuperUser on OCR, which might be worth checking out for possible solutions.
Most notably this answer by Molly looks promising:

I really like TopOCR,
  certainly a great addition to your

A couple of things spring to mind.

*

*Try scanning at a higher dpi. It looks like it can't recognise the space between the words, a higher dpi might improve that.

*Can you set the language of your OCR program? I see that it's converted the "ö" to a "6". While this might be a problem caused by the resolution it might also be that as "ö" isn't an everyday part of English, the program is choosing the "next best" fit - in this case "6".

A: Not 100% perfect but the best out of all the things I have tried:

Microsoft's SQL Server database continued to outpace its larger rivals Oracle and IBM in the overall database market in 2007, according to this year's annual database server market share reports by IDC and Gartner. But providers of open source database servers, while still a small slice of the market, could have a significant impact over the coming years.
Both IT research firms last month released their annual market share reports for database software. SQL Server revenues grew 16.5 percent in 2007 over the prior year, compared to Oracle, which grew a more modest 14.9 percent, and IBM, which was up just 10 percent, according to Gartner analyst Donald Feinstein. However Oracle and IBM's revenues come from a much higher base -- $48.6 billion and $20.7 billion respectively, compared with SQL Server's $18.1 billion.
Microsoft's license fees tend to be lower than its larger rivals, suggesting unit-wise even more substantial growth for SQL Server. But the latter database server platform only runs on Windows, hence limiting its proliferation within the enterprise.
In the Windows server market, SQL Server accounts for a dominant share of 51.4 percent, compared with 28.8 percent for Oracle and 9.8 percent for IBM. In the Windows market, Oracle's growth of 21 percent outpaced Microsoft's 16.5 percent.
All that noted, Gartner this year drilled deeper into the open source database market.
The steady growth of open source database software could affect license fees going forward, Feinstein predicts. Until this year, Gartner had only broken out open source databases as a whole -- accounting for about 1 percent of the market. Having broken out the key players, here is the rundown: MySQL revenues were $65 million, up 46.9 percent, Ingress was just shy of $40 million, up 100 percent, and EnterpriseDB, supplier of the popular Postgres database was up nearly 9 million, though revenues were up 282 percent.
Feinstein points out since the open source database licenses are free, it's hard to compare it to suppliers of licensed software. Revenues for open source database software, of course, are all for services, etc. Because open source database software lags the features of licensed software today, it has not been a threat, but Feinstein says that could change over time.
"Looking out five years, if open source databases can start to be used in mission critical situations, they could have a major impact on pricing," he said.


Yuba County residents have had enough. On June 7, they voted to keep marijuana at bay in their county. The County Supervisors and citizens have been under assault for more than a year by pro-marijuana cultivators and out-of-area dispensaries who want to sell more drugs.
Unsavory types have moved into otherwise nice communities growing pot, to the disdain of their neighbors. The stench from marijuana is so bad they can't open their windows at night. If they complain, they are threatened. In one case residents had their windows shot out.
Roughly two thirds of the citizens soundly rejected two ballot initiatives, Prop A that would have allowed up to 60 plants in outdoor cultivation, and Prop B which called for five new dispensaries. Opposition to these measures was organized and carried out by local residents Colene and Buck Weckman, who took no small amount of flack for doing so. Their facebook page is called Stop Commercial Pot. It was effective.
Buck and Colene and all who had the courage to stand in the face of incredible abuse, deserve thanks from every Californian for setting an example that our youth, communities and future are worth fighting for. Let's hope others communities join the effort to turn back marijuana this November and reject the ballot initiative to calling for legalized recreational use, financed (once again) by out-of-state billionaires.
Another county, Siskiyou County, also voted on June 7, deciding to tighten restrictions on marijuana growing.


Blur the input image using a random-sized kernel.
blur_limit (int) – maximum kernel size for blurring the input image. Default: 7.
p (float) – probability of applying the transform. Default: 0.5.
Flip the input vertically around the x-axis.
Flip the input horizontally around the y-axis.
Flip the input either horizontally, vertically or both horizontally and vertically.
-1 for both vertical and horizontal flipping (which is also could be seen as rotating the input by 180 degrees).
Divide pixel values by 255 = 2**8 - 1, subtract mean per channel and divide by std per channel.
Transpose the input by swapping rows and columns.
Crop a random part of the input.
height (int) – height of the crop.
width (int) – width of the crop.
p (float) – probability of applying the transform. Default: 1.
Randomly rotate the input by 90 degrees zero or more times.
factor (int) – number of times the input will be rotated by 90 degrees.
Rotate the input by an angle selected randomly from the uniform distribution.
interpolation (OpenCV flag) – flag that is used to specify the interpolation algorithm. Should be one of: cv2.INTER_NEAREST, cv2.INTER_LINEAR, cv2.INTER_CUBIC, cv2.INTER_AREA, cv2.INTER_LANCZOS4. Default: cv2.INTER_LINEAR.
value (list of ints [r, g, b]) – padding value if border_mode is cv2.BORDER_CONSTANT.
Randomly apply affine transforms: translate, scale and rotate the input.
shift_limit ((float, float) or float) – shift factor range for both height and width. If shift_limit is a single float value, the range will be (-shift_limit, shift_limit). Absolute values for lower and upper bounds should lie in range [0, 1]. Default: 0.0625.
scale_limit ((float, float) or float) – scaling factor range. If scale_limit is a single float value, the range will be (-scale_limit, scale_limit). Default: 0.1.
rotate_limit ((int, int) or int) – rotation range. If rotate_limit is a single int value, the range will be (-rotate_limit, rotate_limit). Default: 45.
Crop the central part of the input.
It is recommended to use uint8 images as input. Otherwise the operation will require internal conversion float32 -> uint8 -> float32 that causes worse performance.

Scott Bateman is knowledgeable journalist who has traveled widely throughout the Caribbean. You travel to a city to satisfy one among your social commitments solely to find yourself with loads of time nothing much to do ! These are an important checklist of items for many who travel. Thanks for compiling this. Set up a prep area somewhere away from wind and mud. Anticipate there to be over-spray so if you're doing this in the garage, be sure to get your automotive & bike out first!
Take a toy dog and put it into the crate you're going to use for travel. Now twist it to the left and then to the suitable, raise the entrance after which elevate the again. WHAT OCCURRED TO THE DOG INSIDE??? Sure, it obtained bounced from the left to the appropriate and then the front to the rear. Throughout slight turbulence and even upon landing, that crate may get actually bounced around and your sedated dog would be similar to the toy. Can you imagine, having no approach to management your physique as it's thrown in regards to the crate!!!
Oddly, your CKC is on the listing and clearly survived, but even so, I think individuals needs to be very cautious if they've these breeds. The small ones, like a shih-tzu, can nonetheless go within the cabin. I feel this may be why one among your commenters stated they weren't allowed to place a chihuahua in cargo, however they were instructed they could take it within the cabin.
But as someone who visited there in late February, I can say from personal experience that the climate was cool sufficient to keep most individuals out of the water or from even sunning on the seashores. Strong trade winds made it really feel even cooler. Do any again care stretches you will have been given before you begin the journey, anytime you'll be able to in the course of the journey, in breaks and after the journey.
Open up the former water closet and we have replaced the throne with one thing rather more crucial to glamour camping… an air conditioner. This moveable rolling unit simply fits and makes for nice sleeping. Nice lens, another one I might add to the list (that I went away with) is Went away for 10 weeks and had a great time! The cost of electrical energy may vary tremendously in several areas of the country, making a distinction of tons of of dollars a year in living prices.


Location: Kerrville, Texas in the Winter, & Ruidoso, NM. & camping in the West, the Summers.
I just bought, day before yesterday, a '05 Rockwood 8285 5th Wheel, and need to 'Winterize it' so I don't have to worry that something will freeze and bust.
I'm outside of Kerrville, in the 'Texas Hill Country' NW of San Antonio, but we're a 1000' feet above San Antonio, and it's already got into the 'teens' here.
Also, should a person drain the Hot Water Heater reservoir?
What about this, with all tanks dry, my filling the water filter with RV Anti-freeze, pumping it dry into the lines, filling it again, and so on, wouldn't this do it?
Your using far more anti-freeze than you need to. Many, but not all RV's have a winterizing by-pass. (If not you can buy one and installed a kit) It should be located by your water pump. There will be a short run of plactic pipe. If you have it, turn the shut off connected to the end of the short pipe and just stick the short pipe into a jug of anti-freeze. Turn your pump on and than turn each faucet on one at a time until the pink stuff comes out both the hot and cold.
One thing FIRST. Turn off your hot water tank, let it cool. There shold be a by-pass valve somewhere by the hot water tank. They are alway fun to find the first time. Drain the hot water tank. You want to by pass and drain the tank so there is no need to pump the anti-freeze through it. It will take 2-3 gallons of anti-freeze this way. Make sure you let some anti-freeze get into the P-traps. I do it so much that I can winterize our rig in about 20 minutes.
Thanks a bunch Jim and Jane.
I'll 'round my wife up' and we'll look for it.
On my old Fleetwood Pioneer, I drained all the tanks, put the caps back in, put in over 7 gallons of RV anti-freeze, and still couldn't pump it through the lines. That stuff isn't expensive until you have to buy that many gallons of it.
har har..... I'm glad I won't have to do that again.

Environmental photo festival wants your best shots
A new photography platform encourages engagement with the environment, culminating in an epic crowd-based exhibit to be held in California.
In 1948, British astrophysicist Sir Fred Hoyle predicted that when space travel allowed us to glimpse our planet from afar, the view would change us forever. "Once a photograph of the Earth, taken from the outside, is available," he mused, "a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose." Twenty years later, that image came to be. On Christmas Eve of 1968, Apollo 8 astronauts photographed our home planet rising in all of its glory. The iconic photo, known as Earthrise, became a driving force in the burgeoning green movement of the 1970s, showing not only the vulnerability of our planet, but its majesty as well. Just look at this beauty.
Fast-forward 50 years and Earthrise continues to inspire, as evidenced by a new organization called EarthShot, a collaboration between a team of eco-minded photographers and the Planning and Conservation League. The group explains:
"The image of the earth taken from space prompted a cognitive shift for human society. For the first time we could see clearly that the earth is a bounded, finite space. We take our name and inspiration from this photograph – we see the urgency of addressing and reversing environmental decline as a moonshot. EarthShot seeks to increase citizen engagement with and thinking about the environment by encouraging citizen stakeholders to go out and make their own images of the environment."
Every two weeks throughout 2019, EarthShot will announce a new brief – each a different assignment to help engage and inspire. Submissions will be curated by a rotating panel of judges; the selected images will be included in a major exhibition at the Harvey Milk Photo Center in San Francisco from March to April of 2020.
The first brief, for example, is about nature – real and simulated – in the city. (If you're wondering what that might look like, let the image on the top be your guide.)
The upcoming briefs are all equally interesting, and I love thinking about how they might inspire. They would work equally well for creative types in a rut (raises hand) to parents looking for an engaging eco-activity to share with their children (raises other hand) – and everything in-between. That the whole shebang culminates with an exhibit is the icing on the cake.
We citizen photographers may not be astronauts changing the world from our spacecrafts, but that doesn't mean we can't be a part of a community working creatively to save the mothership. Few artistic mediums are as persuasive as photography, so why not put that power to good use?

Biografia
Parlamentare dal 1948 al 1965, fu l'esponente di spicco della DC in Calabria per circa venti anni. Ricoprì più volte incarichi di Governo come sottosegretario di Stato ai Ministeri del Lavoro, della Difesa, dell'Agricoltura e delle foreste, dell'Interno e dei Trasporti e aviazione civile.

Nato da una famiglia della borghesia agraria dell'alto crotonese, il padre era un notissimo avvocato di Catanzaro vissuto fra la metà dell'Ottocento e gli anni trenta del Novecento.

Era fratello dell'Ammiraglio di Squadra Stefano Pugliese, medaglia d'oro al valor militare. I suoi antenati si misero in luce nella prima metà dell'Ottocento come liberali anti-borbonici (Emilio) e come storici e sociologi (Giovan Francesco).

Viene ricordato ancora per la sua opera in favore delle classi contadine più disagiate, in favore delle quali si adoperò per la legge sulla Riforma agraria di cui fu relatore alla Camera dei deputati.

The American Gold Buffalo pays homage to one of the most iconic coins in American history. First minted in 2006, the American Gold Buffalo was the first 1 oz Gold coin struck by the United States Mint containing .9999 fine Gold. The coin was created to compete with other pure Gold bullion coins on the market like the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf and the Mexican Gold Libertad, and saw immediate success. All American Gold Buffalos contain 1 oz of .9999 fine Gold; however, fractional sizes of this Gold bullion coin were minted in 2008 and this one year of production makes them highly collectible.
The design of this Gold bullion coin is based on James Earle Fraser's iconic and wildly popular 1913 Buffalo Nickel. The obverse of the coin depicts the profile of a Native American man who was modeled after three different chiefs from Native American tribes: Lakota chief Iron Tail, Cheyenne chief Two Moons and Seneca chief John Big Tree. The reverse of the coin features the classic buffalo designed after Black Diamond, a 1,550-pound bison that lived in New York City's Central Park Zoo in the early 1900s.
American Gold Buffalos are struck at the West Point Mint in New York. Known as the "Fort Knox of Silver", the West Point Mint produces all American Eagle coins in Gold, Silver and Platinum as well as all Gold and some Silver commemorative coins.

Apple Working on OLED Display MacBooks & Touchscreen Macs
Himanshu Panchal
Apple might be working on its first MacBook with an OLED display and Touchscreen Macs, according to the latest reports from some reliable sources.
With these leaks, the report has also mentioned some other details regarding the upcoming Macs so let's delve into the complete details below.
Apple's Upcoming OLED Display MacBooks & Touchscreen Macs: All Details
Firstly, let's discuss the MacBook with OLED display which is reported by well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo in a series of tweets.
Compared to mini-LED, laptops that use OLEDs have the advantage of being thinner and lighter and offering more diverse form factor design options, like folding, so it has caused Apple to plan to ship the OLED MacBook by the end of 2024 at the earliest.
— 郭明錤 (Ming-Chi Kuo) (@mingchikuo) January 11, 2023
We all know the whole current lineup of MacBooks has LCD panels, and the latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro retains mini-LED backlighting and ProMotion.
But, the company is planning to introduce the first ever MacBook, which will have an OLED display in replacement of LCD and mini-LED panels.
This shift will impact MacBook's designs by making it lighter, and also, as the OLED display doesn't require backlighting, so the device will have a better contrast ratio and a longer battery life.
Currently, there are no details regarding whether it will be a Pro or Air model of MacBook. This OLED display MacBook is expected to arrive by the end of 2024, as noted by Kuo.
Besides, Apple is also reportedly working on bringing touchscreens to Macs, and this information is coming out from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. And this new Mac with a touchscreen is expected to arrive in 2025.
While this project was already in the rumors from the past many years and earlier it was trodden by its other projects, now it has come back in rumor, and as Gurman said, Apple "actively engaged in the project".
This touchscreen Mac is reported to run on macOS, and some rumors have also hinted that Apple is working to combine iPadOS and macOS.
The company is also rumored to bring some other Macs this year which will be powered by the M2 Pro chips such as M2 Pro, M2 Max, and M2 Ultra.
