Q: Rails – saving existing record id instead of duplicating record I am learning Rails at the moment, I'm a total novice. I'm hoping to be able to get help from the Rails experts here. I've tried to search through StackOverflow but haven't been able to find a solution.
So there are a Pet model that has Breed model for its references which references to Category model, So the 3 models:
class Pet < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :breed
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :breed
  has_one :category, through: :breed

class Breed < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :category
  has_many :pets, dependent: :destroy
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :category

class Category < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :breeds, dependent: :destroy
  has_many :pets, through: :breed

I have already set up the form using simple_form. When a new Pet is created, the user is able to select the existing Category options that is associated with Breed. Then in the form, a breed.name attribute is set as a text_field that user can input their own. Please below the nested attribute part:
...

<%= f.simple_fields_for :breed, Breed.new do |breed| %>
  <%= breed.error_notification %>
  <%= breed.error_notification message: breed.object.errors[:base].to_sentence if breed.object.errors[:base].present? %>

      <%= breed.association :category, collection: Category.order(:id),
                                       label: "Animal Category", required: true %>

      <%= breed.input :name, required: true,
                             label: "Breed", placeholder: "Domestic short hair",
                             hint: "Type 'unknown', if unsure", class: "form-control" %>

<% end %>

So my question is, how can I save the new pet with an existing breed_id record without duplicating it with a different breed_id?
So at the moment, I already have an existing record of breed_id : 1, that consists of category_id: 1 (for Cat), and name: 'domestic short hair' – if I create a new pet with these same values in the form, it will duplicate the record, it's supposed to save breed_id: 1, but instead, the new pet is saved under breed_id: 15 ...
When I check on the console:
irb(main):001:0> Breed.find_by_name("domestic short hair")
  Breed Load (6.8ms)  SELECT "breeds".* FROM "breeds" WHERE "breeds"."name" = $1 LIMIT $2  [["name", "domestic short hair"], ["LIMIT", 1]]
=> #<Breed id: 1, name: "domestic short hair", category_id: 1, created_at: "2021-08-14 13:12:41.266154000 +0000", updated_at: "2021-08-14 13:12:41.266154000 +0000">
irb(main):002:0> Breed.last
  Breed Load (8.2ms)  SELECT "breeds".* FROM "breeds" ORDER BY "breeds"."id" DESC LIMIT $1  [["LIMIT", 1]]
=> #<Breed id: 15, name: "domestic short hair", category_id: 1, created_at: "2021-08-16 04:08:31.602249000 +0000", updated_at: "2021-08-16 04:08:31.602249000 +0000">

What's the best way to update my controller / model / form helper (I'm not sure which one), so it prevents the duplicating? I currently don't have a breeds_controller, and only using the pets_controller, which is a basic one from Scaffolding:
pets_controller.rb

  def show
  end

  # GET /pets/new
  def new
    @pet = Pet.new
    @pet.build_breed
  end

  # GET /pets/1/edit
  def edit
  end

  # POST /pets or /pets.json
  def create
    @pet = current_user.pets.new(pet_params)

    respond_to do |format|
      if @pet.save
        format.html { redirect_to @pet, notice: "Pet was successfully added." }
        format.json { render :show, status: :created, location: @pet }
      else
        format.html { render :new, status: :unprocessable_entity }
        format.json { render json: @pet.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

...

  private

  def pet_params
   params.require(:pet).permit(:owner_id, :name, :dob, :gender, :bio, :instagram,
                                breed_attributes: [:name, :category_id])
  end

I've tried to write a before_save :existing_breed_record in the model breed.db, which I think is wrong...
class Breed < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :category
  has_many :pets, dependent: :destroy
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :category
  before_save :existing_breed_record

  private

    def existing_breed_record
     if self.find_by(category_id, name).exists?
      return self.id
    end
end

Here is my schema.db
  create_table "breeds", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.string "name"
    t.bigint "category_id", null: false
    t.datetime "created_at", precision: 6, null: false
    t.datetime "updated_at", precision: 6, null: false
    t.index ["category_id"], name: "index_breeds_on_category_id"
  end

  create_table "categories", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.string "name"
    t.datetime "created_at", precision: 6, null: false
    t.datetime "updated_at", precision: 6, null: false
  end

  create_table "pets", force: :cascade do |t|
    t.bigint "owner_id", null: false
    t.bigint "breed_id", null: false
    t.string "name"
    t.date "dob"
    t.integer "gender"
    t.string "bio"
    t.string "instagram"
    t.datetime "created_at", precision: 6, null: false
    t.datetime "updated_at", precision: 6, null: false
    t.index ["breed_id"], name: "index_pets_on_breed_id"
    t.index ["owner_id"], name: "index_pets_on_owner_id"
  end

I read from the guides that there is find_or_create_by method that I think is what I need, but I'm not sure where and how to implement it...
For database and Rails experts, for the sake of learning, how would you suggest I do this better next time? Should I have the breed as a string attribute/column to the Pet model and directly associate the Category model to Pet instead?

A: if you wanted to use the nested form, you could add the before_save method to Pet
\\pet.rb

before_save :check_existing_breed

def check_existing_breed
  if self.breed&.name and breed = Breed.find_by(name: self.breed&.name)
    self.breed = breed
  end
end

A: With the help of my teacher, we finally found a solution. It's a bit messy, but it no longer duplicates any existing record!
First of, thanks to @Yunwei.W, as suggested, I added @pet.breed in my nested form (was previously :breed, Pet.new do ...:
...

<%= f.simple_fields_for :breed, @pet.breed do |breed| %>
...

Then in the pets_controller.rb:
def create
 # Preventing duplicates when breed name mathes exsiting record
 breed = Breed.find_by_name(params[:pet][:breed_attributes][:name]) || Breed.create(name: params[:pet][:breed_attributes][:name], category_id: params[:pet][:breed_attributes][:category_id])

 @pet = current_user.pets.new(pet_params.except(params[:pet][:breed_attributes][:name]))

 @pet.breed = breed

...

end

There is definitely a better solution than this, but I'm so glad it finally works after having this blocker for 3 days. Thank you everyone who has contributed to help! Really appreciate it!

Somewhere between tradition and modernity, Alella's vines are rocked by the sea breeze while they scratch at the earth and bury their roots in well-drained soil that retains the sun's heat.
The Mediterranean climate by the coast exists side-by-side with a more continental microclimate further inland. The coastal range checks the winds and condenses the moisture from the sea.
Historically, this small zone has supplied Barcelona with wine and has presided the tables of Barcelona's well-to-do for centuries.
Alella's most typical wines are dry and sweet whites, made from different grape varieties. They are light, perfumed and crystalline. Wine made with Pansa Blanca, often blended with Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, is particularly noteworthy.
The rosés are fresh, aromatic and light. They are made with Garnacha, Pansa Rosada and Merlot.
The reds are fruity and mild and are made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Ull de Llebre o Tempranillo and Merlot.
Varieties of red grapes: Cabernet sauvignon, Garnatxa peluda, Merlot, Monsatrell, Pinot noir, Samsó or mazuela, Sumoll negre, Syrah and Ull de llebre.


Place ingredients in a food processor and pulse process until the texture you desire.
Serve with coconut yogurt, almond milk, Buckwheaties or by itself.
I use a small personal Cuisinart for this personal sized breakfast cereal. It is very versatile, fast to prepare and keeps me full all morning.

You sometime stumble upon pictures of (real life) cars dying and decaying somewhere in a forest. And then you see this. Two words: just amazing...................

Well.... Is a DID visit such a forrest yard here in main land Europe, i started making these models because i wanted some rememberance of that yard in my home. And so i made some models in to wrecks. I did not want to replicate the actual cars that where there. Because the real life situation is not possible to replicate to the perfection mother nature does it. So i made cars in a free interpretated way. I will include some pictures of that yard, that inspired me. (only once as they obviously do not belong here)
Last Edit: 7 years, 10 months ago by arcobot.
The junk yard looks like its in the middle of nowhere a forest? Filled with dead cars that all seem to date from the 1950s/60s

Don't be worried about putting any photo's up here, these photo's show your insipiration and so are very relevant.. We are not stuffy on here...any photo's are welcome and these are brilliant as is your diorama's of these...
Than i will put some pictures of the real yard on so now and then. The yard in question was in the Belgium village of Chatillon. There where 3 locations left in 2008. Further in history there might have been as much as 6 or 7! The best one was the so called forrest. In there more then 200 cars where layed to rest. It started life as a grassland and later trees where planted.The majority of the cars where 1946-1955. But older and younger where also there. In the forrest was an awesome atmosphere. I found the place after searching for 17 years. The search started when i receved some old pictures of a mistery yard in Europe some day. And there where no details known. Only some skechy things like: In a village with lion in the end part of the name, and on the way back from France just before the Belgium border. (both proed to be wrong afterwards)
Finaly in about 2003 i found a possible location, but i was terrible ill. So i could not go. Years of bad health followed. Finaly in 2008 my health took a turn for the worse ( a transplant was badly needed and no donors where availeble) I was still walking with cruches but was mobile and more or less stable, and some very good friends decided it micht be my last chance by then and hired a van to go to the illusive forrest with me.
We drove 200 miles to there, not even shure if it realy was the place and if it was still there. The owner was reluctand at first to let uss in (we asked offcourse), but when he heared the story about my never ending search and devotian, we where alowed in. It was the day of my life.
The picture above is one of the pictures that started the search. The one here below is the same car and aprox angle of that same car in 2008. The car is a 1953 Buick Super by the way.
Above a Studebaker Champion of 1951 with the curved backwindow. It was under such thick pinetrees that even during the day, the flasher had to be used
Overlooking a small part of the forrest. About 30% where American cars of the finns and pre finns era. And there where alot of Opels of the fifties. But Ford (all build countries together) had the overhand with 93 cars. Going from an 1931 AA towtruck, via some Ford V8's of the end of the 40's , Customs, Fairlanes, Cortina's and so on. Rare cars where also found on regular bases. Nash 600, Kaiser Manhattan, Henry J, Lloyd LT600 Van, Frazer Manhattan and so on and so on.
Once i seen the rust in the real yard i realized that rust comes in many forms. Dessert rust clearly is something totaly different from the rust in Europe and the UK. One other thing i saw is that seats in the cars where optical still looking very well and not like in America only frames left and no fabric. But mostly i learned that when you make rusted cars, roofs and big parts tend to rot at places where braces and structural parts touch the panel. And making THIS rotten places is one of the hard things to do in a modelcars in 1/18 scale and in metal (lik the roof above). The material is WAY WAY to thick, and has to be thinned. So i had a try at that. And found out that thinning out is the answer to all panel end edge rust.

what an amazing story Arco. Never knew that this place excisted
It was a place you should coincedently stumble on to. Those days i started to search for the yard, the internet was nearly non existing. So everything was mouth to mouth. And most visitor knew the value of the place and kept info on strict "need to know" bases. The clearing was done in record time because of an unrealisticly short term that the judge ordered for clearing the place. So the owner (who wanted to make it an kind of openair museum) Had no choice than to send in a scrappy with his Unimog and crane. All cars had to be gone in only 2 moths.

Wow what super piece of work there Arco, just stunning in every way. I've always wanted to have a go at a scrap yard diorama and am going to do so this year but in a smaller scale 1/43.

Sterling work there sir. Good stuff
If this is your scene perhaps check out Neil Youngs ranch. He has never got rid of any of his cars. They are just left randomly over acres of countryside.

I do love looking at scrap yards, and looking at your diorama I could just look all day long.
I may to make Ford Sierra RS500 into a scrap car, it's had its fair share bits broken off and repaired so a good candidate. Just not sure what to do and where to start.
Any tips??
I watched a film about it years ago and he never got rid of any cars. Its a great film. He also owns Lionel Toy Trains. I think he still does,it came about from his son having learning difficulties.
Can you maby post a picture? Than i can probebly make and estimation what the best way is. And how far do you want to go? For instance:
A bad daily
A wreck
Or total carnage:

Forrest J Ackerman passes
by Rob - December 6th, 2008.
Filed under: Deaths.
Monday, April 22, 1996: Carolyn and I arrive in Los Angeles for a few days of vacation leading up to the Nebula Awards ceremony. Went to NBC, but arrived too late to get tickets to The Tonight Show and so we drove around in our rental car, looking for somewhere to eat, and found a Sizzler.
Across the room, I recognize a man whose photo I'd seen many times: Forrest J Ackerman, the great science-fiction fan, editor, agent, and collector. He was eating with some friends of his.
I thought, what the heck, I'd go up and say hello:
"Mr. Ackerman, you don't know me, but my name is Rob Sawyer, and I'm visiting from Toronto."
"Yes, and, well, I'm here for the Nebula Awards banquet — see, my novel The Terminal Experiment is one of the nominees this year, and –"
"Then you must come back to the house!"
My heart almost stopped. "The house," I knew, was the famed Ackermansion: the giant, sprawling home that contained his amazing 300,000-piece collection of science-fiction books, magazines, and film and TV props, costumes, and memorabilia.
When lunch was done, Forry took us to his place, and OMG, it was incredible. He gave us a two-hour private tour of his 18-room home, and it was unbelievable. The robot from Metropolis. A Cylon from the original Battlestar Galactica. One of the sets of makeup appliances worn by Kim Hunter as Zira in the original Planet of the Apes. Two different sizes of Martian war machines from George Pal's The War of the Worlds. And so much more.
I remember Forry's wonderful kindness to a young writer he'd never met before. And I remember, all over his mansion, portraits of his deceased wife Wendayne, and how he spoke repeatedly about her with so much love.
I'm not given to believing in such things, but I do sincerely hope they're together now. Forrest J Ackerman passed away yesterday at the age of 92.

"Familiar," a dramedy from Tony Award-nominated writer/actress Danai Gurira (Black Panther, The Walking Dead), attempts to shine the light on the plight of the expats from the troubled land of Zimbabwe who fled to America during the 1980s seeking to start a new life of opportunity. Many of those who were part of the resistance movement turned their back on their former country, and the resentments of those who remained have been etched deeply into families torn asunder in more ways than one.
Now living in suburban Minneapolis, the Chinyaramwira family, headed by father Donald (a fully-fleshed, heartfelt performance by Danny Johnson and steely-spined matriarch Marvelous (a rock solid, heartbreaking performance by Cherene Snow), welcome home youngest daughter Nyasha (an effervescent Olivia Washington) from a months-long trip to Africa on the eve of older daughter Tendikayi's wedding to Chris, a white, upper middle class financial do-gooder running a non-profit who is doing all he can do integrate smoothly into his newfound family. Marvelous's younger sister Maggie (a sassy sympathetic Ramona Keller), is a wine-guzzling, entrepreneurial single mom of grown boys who (to the family's dismay) don't know anything about their African heritage not even knowing one word of their native Shona language. This is fine with Marvelous who longs to leave all memories of Zimbabwe in the past, unlike her husband who has a secret desire to return to his homeland.
As in many strained family celebrations, an uninvited guest shows up to throw a wrench into the marriage proceedings. Family matriarch Auntie Anne (the larger than life, elegant Wandachristine) has been flown in by the bride and groom to make sure that traditional Shona elements are integrated into their church ceremony. Haughty, elegant, and haunted by the past, Anne opens up a Pandora's Box of family history that throws all participants into a whirlwind of high emotions, guilt, and recriminations that threaten to derail the planned wedding for good.
Still thinking this is a comedy? It's kind of hard to forget when at the end of Act One, Brad, Chris' younger brother who is a "whoa, Dude" kind of guy who rips open Nyasha's pajama top and presses his semi-naked body to hers after she succumbs to severe hypothermia having walked out into the frozen Minnesota winter landscape to gather her fevered thoughts. These broad, farcical elements seem at odds with the serious undertones of the play. One feels that too many bases were trying to be covered and too many storylines are rushed to tie up in Act Two. There is so much going on that moment that should resonate occasionally get lost, which is a shame because the performers are doing great work.
Tall, elegant Zakiya Young showed us the vulnerable, insecure side of Tendikayi's cut and dried, a repressed lawyer whose life is scheduled down to the nth degree. Lucas Hall manages to overcome Chris' inherent geekiness and make him something more than a caricature of a white boy in a black-white relationship. Anthony Comis brings a sweet underdog quality to the feckless Veteran Brad who has always lived in Chris' shadow.
The specter of a family ghost who has been mostly unknown by the younger Chinyaramwiras suddenly throws the identity of several family members into doubt although there is no doubt that the family and the loving relationships therein will survive and thrive moving forward.
There's a lot of words in this play, so one can imagine that director Edward Torres, who most recently directed "Native Gardens" at the Globe, had his work cut out for him, but he keeps the momentum going and elicits incredible chemistry from his cast.
Major kudos go to the scenic design of Walt Spangler and lighting scheme of Jason Lyons. That is a real, substantial house on that stage, one you would immediately want to move into and when characters slam doors (as they are wont to do), it's a satisfying solid slam, no shaking scrim walls. Also a tip of the hat to Costume Designer Alejo Vietti. Who has a sharp contrast between Marvelous and Tendikayi's conservative Midwest sensibility and Anne's proud, brilliant native costume of acid yellow, red and greens that draw the eye to the grand dame of the clan?Playwright Gurira has produced highly praised dramatic works on both coasts and has an undeniable talent for mining the hearts of characters she creates. This one needs a slightly sharper focus that can be softened by the finely drawn performances of the actors involved.
If you're wondering where the title "Familiar" comes in, it's a song that Nyasha writes for her sister's wedding that captures the wistfulness of love, longing, and loss. Perhaps under all the drama lies basic truths that are familiar to all of us.
"Familiar" runs at the Old Globe's Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage until March 3. For performance dates and times, visit www.theoldglobe.org.

Narnaul is not a district by itself but the district headquarter of district Mahendargarh. The Mahendargarh district was formed a year after the independence of India in 1948 by combining different tracts of erstwhile princely states of Patiala, Jind, Dadri and Nabha.
There are different versions regarding the origin of the town Narnaul. According to one view the town dates back to the Mahabharta era and was famous as Nar Rashtra. Another story dates its origin 900 years back, when it was a forest area and Lions 'roamed freely' here and thus it was called Narnaul (fear of Lions). There is still one more version of the legend that asserts that it was named Narlaun by King Launkaran after his wife's name.

Innovative credit professionals always dream that one day the world will wake up to paperless offices where everything is done electronically. Although this vision is still far from being a reality, the current innovations are progressively bringing it closer. The first major steps forward were workflow and imaging technology. However, the other innovation that is quickly taking roots in modern offices is electronic invoicing.
Electronic invoicing is simply delivery of invoices, especially over the internet to the accounts payable department of the customer in electronic format. All the transactions are made and recorded electronically without involving paperwork. After the accounts payable department receives the invoice, it forwards it through mail to the approving officer. All the information on the invoice can be used for data retrieval I a network without manual entry into the database. Officers can also combine this procedure with payment of electronic payments that can be forwarded to the vendor with no further keying.
Accounts receivable experts around the world are quickly embracing electronic invoicing as a result of its wide range of advantages.
– Unlike traditional invoicing methods, electronic invoicing removes mistakes resulting from rekeyed information.
– It is a stand-alone process that deletes the current fears about the mail.

Q: Plotting pedigree / famliy tree using igraph in R I have some very simple pedigree data that I would like to make visualise graphically. Example data here
I have tried with kinship2, but had no success - see here for previous issues with kinship2
I have also been trying with igraph but have not been able to get the graph quite right. I have managed, with the below code, to get a good representation of female linages.
library(igraph)
library(dplyr)

GGM_igraph <- read.csv("example_data.csv")
mothers=GGM_igraph[,c('Ring','Mother','famid')]
fathers=GGM_igraph[,c('Ring','Father','famid')]
links<-left_join(mothers, fathers)
g=graph.data.frame(links)

this script is from this question originally
G_Grouped = g
E(G_Grouped)$weight = 1

## Add edges with high weight between all nodes in the same group
for(i in unique(V(g)$famid)) {
  GroupV = which(V(g)$famid == i)
  G_Grouped = add_edges(G_Grouped, combn(GroupV, 5), attr=list(weight=10))
}

## Now create a layout based on G_Grouped
set.seed(567)
LO = layout_with_fr(G_Grouped)

## Use the layout to plot the original graph
par(mar=c(0,0,0,0))

# then plot the graph
plot(g, vertex.color=links$famid, layout=LO,
     vertex.size = 8,
     vertex.label.cex=.7,
     vertex.label.color = "black",
     edge.arrow.size = 0.25,
     edge.arrow.mode = 1)

What I would like to do is:
 1) include the males in the same graph as a number of them had offspring with more than one female over their life time
 2) manually assign colours to each family. At the momemnt it is automatic, which is then assigning the mothers (most who don't have a family as they are founders) a random colour and also it is reusing some colours as there is not enough in the default pallette.

Serratia spp. have been isolated from superficial abscesses, wounds, ocular or urethral discharges, lung, and liver of marine mammals. Although it is now an established pathogen, at one time Serratia marcescens was believed to be completely innocuous. In England and Wales, Serratia bacteremia reports increased by 13.2% between 2000 and 2001. Patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) and indwelling catheters or colonized or infected respiratory tracts are the most common reservoirs; spread occurs primarily via the hands of hospital personnel. Serratia bacteremia is relatively uncommon; S. marcescens accounted for only 2% of bloodstream infections reported to the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System (NNIS). Cholangitis, osteomyelitis, ruptured diverticuli, and premature ruptured membranes have also been reported as sources of bacteremia. S. fonticola fails to produce DNase, lipase, or gelatinase, all hallmark traits of the genus Serratia. The majority of pigmented strains belonged to environmental serotype O6:K14 and were serum resistant, a trait previously determined to be associated with this serotype and not believed to be important in human serratia infection. Strains that are initially susceptible rapidly become resistant during antimicrobial therapy. The current literature indicates that 88 to 93% of serratiae are susceptible to ciprofloxacin. Susceptibilities to various cephalosporins and other antimicrobials are reported.

Crosstown Concourse boosts Memphis's office sector
Tom Bailey
Demand for Memphis-area office space -- long among the weakest sectors in local commercial real estate -- has just made the biggest improvement since the Great Recession, a new report states.
The market absorbed 483,418 square feet than it vacated during April through June, with the total vacancy rate dropping to 15.5 percent, according to the latest CBRE Research report. That's the most positive absorption of office space in six years.
The report credits the completion of much of the massive Crosstown Concourse, where a grand opening ceremony will take place on Aug. 19. The building offers 552,258 square feet of Class A mixed-use space in addition to other areas for apartments, retail and a school.

The mixed-use "vertical urban village'' so far lists 37 tenants. More than 20 of them have pre-leased 95 percent of the office space in the building. The former Sears mail order house and store also offers 65,000 square feet of retail space and 265 apartments.
"The delivery of Crosstown Concourse is a game changer for both the Midtown and Downtown office markets," Ron Kastner, senior vice president of CBRE's Advisory & Transaction Services/Office Investor business, said in prepared statement.
"It instantly doubles the size of the Midtown office market and will stimulate so much new interest in an area that has been relatively dormant for decades,'' Kastner said. "This project has major scale impact on attracting a talented workforce to Memphis."
Across the Memphis area, another 633,000 square feet of office space is still under construction. All of it is scheduled to be completed by early 2018, the report states.
