Grafana Warp 10™ Datasource Plugin
===

# Install the plugin

## Using grafana-cli

```
sudo grafana-cli plugins install ovh-warp10-datasource
installing ovh-warp10-datasource @ 2.2.0
from: https://grafana.com/api/plugins/ovh-warp10-datasource/versions/2.2.0/download
into: /var/lib/grafana/plugins

✔ Installed ovh-warp10-datasource successfully

Restart grafana after installing plugins . <service grafana-server restart>
```

## Cloning the repository

Just clone the repository in the Grafana *plugins* folder
```sh
git clone git@github.com:ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource.git /var/lib/grafana/plugins/ovh-warp10-datasource
```
Grafana will use the *dist/* folder by default

# Grafana 7.0 troubleshooting

As mentioned in [#71](https://github.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/issues/71), "CORS" issues can occurs with a Warp10 datasource. To fix it:

- Or set `x_content_type_options` to false in Grafana servers configuration settings,
- Or whitelist `content-type` in allow headers of Warp10 with the configuration key `cors.header`.

# Add a new Warp 10™ Datasource

- Go to the Grafana menu (top left) > "datasources" > "add data source"
- Choose a name
- Set Warp10 as type
- Paste the Warp 10™ Platform `exec` endpoint URL ( do not append /api/v0/... )

![Global Variables](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-endpoint.png)

# Add execution variables

You can define variables at datasource level (~ organisation level) which can be available for all dashboards. you can put tokens, constants, macros, ...
In case of a macro definition, the variable value must start with *<%* and end with *%>*. In the query you can prepend *@* to the macro name to execute it.

For example, you can store a read token here:

![Global Variables](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-globalvar.png)

# Make a query

On a new dashboard, in a Graph visualization, click on Query icon on the left side bar, and choose Warp10 datasource.

A user friendly query editor will appear. You can use the global variable you defined previously:

![First query](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-simplifiedquery.png)

It will generate WarpScript for you. The generated WarpScript is visible in your browser console:

![Console output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-console.png)

You will see at the beginning of the query some special variables set by the plugin.

| Name          | Description                                                   | Example                    |
|---------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------|
| **$end**      | Timestamp of the most recent point in the Grafana time window | 1498038153276000           |
| **$endISO**   | *end* value in ISO-8601 format                                | '2017-06-21T09:42:33.276Z' |
| **$start**    | Timestamp of the less recent point in the Grafana time window | 1498034553276000           |
| **$startISO** | *start* value in ISO-8601 format                              | '2017-06-21T08:42:33.276Z' |
| **$interval** | Difference between $end and $start                            | 3600000000                 |
| **$__interval** | Could be used as a bucket span to display less datapoints on a graph, saving your browser RAM. See [Grafana doc](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/reference/templating/#the-interval-variable).                            | 3600000000                 |

Advanced users can check the *WarpScript editor* and write the WarpScript they need.

To graph something on Grafana you need to return some Geo Time Series™ (GTS)

## Graph example

The plugin look for GTS or GTS array in your stack, all other stack entry will be ignored. Turn on the WarpScript™ editor, and use this script:

```WarpScript
NEWGTS
'io.warp10.grafana.test' RENAME
{ 'func' 'sinus' } RELABEL
'sinus' STORE

NEWGTS
'io.warp10.grafana.testmetric' RENAME
{ 'func' 'cosinus' } RELABEL
'cosinus' STORE

100 // Not graphable -> ignored
'b' // Not graphable -> ignored

$interval 20 / TOLONG 'step' STORE

<% $step + %> 'stepMacro' STORE
<% 'index' STORE $sinus $index NaN NaN NaN $index SIN  ADDVALUE DROP %> 'execMacroSinus' STORE
<% 'index' STORE $cosinus $index NaN NaN NaN $index COS  ADDVALUE DROP %> 'execMacroCoinus' STORE

$start $end $stepMacro $execMacroSinus FORSTEP
$start $end $stepMacro $execMacroCoinus FORSTEP
$sinus $cosinus
```

![sinus output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-generatedsinus.png)

## Table example

By default, the plugin build a table with the timestamp as the first column, and one column per GTS.

You can build custom tables instead of formating GTS array, if your result stack have only 1 element and this element have `columns` and `rows` property.
Then you can choose *Table* as *Table transform* in Table Options section

WarpScript™ example:
```WarpScript
{
  'columns' [
    {
      'text' 'columnA'
      'type' 'number'
      'sort' true
      'desc' true
    }
    {
      'text' 'columnB'
      'type' 'number'
    }
  ]
  'rows' [
    [ 10 20 ]
    [ 100 200 ]
  ]
}
```

![table output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-table.png)

## Worldmap example

You can use `ovh-warp10-datasource` as datasource for showing position data on grafana using `grafana-worldmap-panel` plugin.

In order to do it, you need to install the `grafana-worldmap-panel` plugin: [Worldmap Panel](https://grafana.com/plugins/grafana-worldmap-panel).

When both `ovh-warp10-datasource` and the `grafana-worldmap-panel` installed, you can define a new Worldmap widget,
with a Warp 10 datasource and `json result` as *Location Data* in the *Worlmap* tab:

![Warp 10™ datasource](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/README-worldmap-datasource-tab.jpg)

![`json result` as *Location Data* in the *Worlmap* tab](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/README-worldmap-worldmap-tab.jpg)

Now in your WarpScript™ you can generate data in the JSON format supported by Worldmap, for example :

```
'[ { "key": "amsterdam", "latitude": 52.3702, "longitude": 4.8952, "name": "Amsterdam" }, { "key": "charleroi", "latitude": 50.4108, "longitude": 4.4446, "name": "Charleroi" }, { "key": "frankfurt", "latitude": 50.110924, "longitude": 8.682127, "name": "Frankfurt" }, { "key": "london", "latitude": 51.503399, "longitude": -0.119519, "name": "London" }, { "key": "paris", "latitude": 48.864716, "longitude": 2.349014, "name": "Paris" } ]'
JSON->
```

And then you can see the chosen locations in the map:

![Worlmap view without values](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/README-worldmap-view-without-values.jpg)

You can also give a `value` to each location, in order to show the locations with different sizes and colors, as Worldmap allows:

```
'[ { "key": "amsterdam", "latitude": 52.3702, "longitude": 4.8952, "name": "Amsterdam", "value": 9 }, { "key": "charleroi", "latitude": 50.4108, "longitude": 4.4446, "name": "Charleroi", "value": 6 }, { "key": "frankfurt", "latitude": 50.110924, "longitude": 8.682127, "name": "Frankfurt", "value": 9 }, { "key": "london", "latitude": 51.503399, "longitude": -0.119519, "name": "London", "value": 12 }, { "key": "paris", "latitude": 48.864716, "longitude": 2.349014, "name": "Paris", "value": 15 } ]'
JSON->
```

![Worlmap view with values](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/README-worldmap-view-with-values.jpg)

# Use Annotations

You can add Annotation on your graph: Dashboard > "Manage dashboard" > "Annotations"

Just add you WarpScript™

/!\ You must return a single GTS on TOP of your stack

## Annotation example

```warpScript
NEWGTS
'alerts' RENAME
{ 'a' 'b' 'c' 'd' } RELABEL
$end $interval 2 / - NaN DUP DUP 'Restart WebServer' ADDVALUE
$end $interval 3 / - NaN DUP DUP 'Update v1.0.2' ADDVALUE
```

![annotation output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-annotationFromWarpScript.png)

# Define Templating variables

You can make a WarpScript query to build the choice list of your templating variables.
In the dashboard settings, select Variables, and create a new one from a Query, with Warp10 as datasource.
You can write any WarpScript in the Query field to build your list of choices:

![annotation output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-queryForVariable.png)

- If you let several values on the stack, each value will be added to the choice list.
- Best practice: Let a list on the stack. Each value will be added to the choice list.
- Best practice: Let a map on the stack. The map keys will be added to the choice list, the map values will be available within the pannels WarpScript query. The values will be hidden from the dashboard user. This allow to hide complex values behind user friendly labels.

Here are valid queries for variable definition:
![annotation output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-variablesQueries.png)

Each value is transformed into two WarpScript variables you can use in your queries:
- A string, named as you named your variable.
- A list of strings, named as you named your variable, suffixed by `_list`.

![annotation output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-templatevariablesTable.png)

- If you do not use multiple selection, variable and variable_list will contain the currently selected value
- If you use multiple selection:
  * the string will contain an optimized WarpScript regular expression
  * the list will contain each element selected
- If you defined a *custom all value* and checked "All", variable and variable_list will contain your customized value.

In the example below,
- testMap has a *custom all value* set to `~custom.*allvalue.*`
- testList has no defined *custom all value*.

![annotation output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovh/ovh-warp10-datasource/master/dist/assets/screenshot-customAllValue.png)

## Query returning Labels

A variable can contain values for a defined Label. For example, to get all the unique values for the key `hostname`, you can specify a query like this in the templating variable *Query* setting.
```
[ $ReadToken '~.*' { 'hostname' '~.*' } ] FIND
<% DROP LABELS 'hostname' GET %> LMAP
UNIQUE
```
You can also create nested variables. For example if you had another variable, for example `$region`. Then you could have the hosts variable only show hosts from the current selected region with a query like this:
```
[ $ReadToken '~.*' { 'region' $region } ] FIND
<% DROP LABELS 'hostname' GET %> LMAP
UNIQUE
```
You can fetch keys for a given Class.
```
[ $ReadToken '<class_name>' { } ] FIND
<% DROP LABELS KEYLIST %> LMAP
FLATTEN
UNIQUE
```

# Templating variable evaluation

To understand the variable resolution, this is how a query is built

- Inject dashboard variables (**$end**, **$interval**, etc...)
- Inject datasource execution variables (Customized by datasource)
- Inject templating variables following the configuration order (a templating variable can call the previous templating variables in its resolution)
- Inject user query (can use all previous variables)

/!\ all of the templating values are casted into strings by Grafana engine.

Windows has been around since mid-1985, but Windows Server which powers web servers has only been in use since the second millennium. Today, Windows is seen everywhere in desktop computers, laptops, tablets, phones and servers. In the server world, Windows is actually the second most used operating system with Linux leading most server racks. Web developers know a handful of different programming languages, but a few of them will only run on the Windows platform. Windows web hosting is needed when you are programming something in ASP or ASP.NET. For those who work with Windows made applications and programs, it is ideal to get hosted on a Windows server.
Compared to most other web hosting options, Windows web hosting has become quite popular in recent years. Many online sites have started using Windows web hosting, particularly because of the Windows applications they use. If your website calls for ASP.NET compatibility, then you will need Windows hosting. Now, there are several advantages in choosing Windows hosting over other solutions and these perks include security, simple application integration, compatibility and dedicated database reliability.
Windows hosting is compatible with MYSQL, MSDE or MSSQL databases. Many web developers have switched over to Windows hosting so that they can take advantage of some of the Windows applications such as FrontPage and SharePoint. Microsoft SharePoint is a type of web application that allows for better content and document management online. Windows hosting works on a server where the Windows operating system is installed. There have been several OS releases for web servers with the latest one being named Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 8. Scalability and the ability to manage several reseller accounts under one control panel is one of the reasons why so many website developers prefer Windows web hosting.
Apart from the various developer benefits associated with Windows hosting; it is considered to be costlier when compared to Linux. This is primarily because you have the advantage of working with several Microsoft brands, which require licensing. Most of the web applications from Microsoft come with licensing costs, so it does make the hosting a little more expensive. However, several brand name hosting companies do offer both Windows and Linux web hosting at similar rates. So, to recap, the following are some of the most notable benefits in choosing Windows web hosting over other platforms.

Public development banks (PDBs) have taken the front stage in development narratives and endeavours at the international level and in Europe. The COVID-19 pandemic has further heightened their role in the response to the crisis and recovery process towards building back better and greener, in more inclusive, gender sensitive, transformational and impactful ways.
The recent evolution of the European financial architecture for development (EFAD) has put European public development banks at the heart of the European development finance system in a more open, integrated and coordinated way. By doing so, European PDBs can reach out, under the 'Team Europe' banner, to external partners, promoting both impactful development and greater synergies and visibility of the EU actions. PDBs can be critical instruments to promote resilience to shocks and crises (financial, economic, pandemic, climate, etc.) and help both stabilise the economy and foster a more rapid long-lasting recovery, in particular if they can play a counter-cyclical role and help build back better. By providing medium- and long-term finance aligned to the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, they can contribute to more systemic transformations, helping build markets and foster innovation for impactful development. By working better together and with other international and local stakeholders, they can also contribute to mitigating risks and leveraging at scale private finance.
Interestingly, beyond development objectives, PDBs are also an instrument of development and economic diplomacy as well as of geostrategic power, promoting core values and interests as part of Europe's foreign and economic policies, at the EU and national levels, and as illustrated in the case of France, Germany and Italy.
While each PDB in Europe is the result of a specific historical and institutional context, they all tend to have greater prominence in national and EU development processes and foreign policy objectives over the years. Mechanisms have also been established to enhance their coordination at the European level, within the EU framework and between themselves.
The author is grateful to the Elcano Royal Institute and in particular to Iliana Olivié for stimulating and guiding this research as part of its series on PDBs. The research was conducted through the framework of the European Think Tank Group (ETTG), of which both Elcano and the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM) are members. The author would like to thank the participants of the internal webinar organised by Elcano, and in particular AECID's Fernando Jiménez-Ontiveros and COFIDES' Rodrigo Madrazo. This paper reflects the views of the author alone and should not be attributed to any specific institution.

EU humanitarian aid: Caught between nexus and independence
This brief analyses current issues in the EU's humanitarian aid and makes recommendations for responding to the challenges ahead. Specifically, it addresses the tensions between the Commission's ambition to be a geopolitical actor and to better respond to multidimensional crises through a 'nexus approach' and the strong needs-based humanitarian assistance the EU provides. The analysis is based on a structured review of academic and policy sources, complemented by interviews with Brussels-based humanitarian aid policymakers.

The pumps of PTO-PQO-PSO series comply with API 674 and ASME standards and are specifically designed and manufactured for process applications where continuous heavy duties are involved demanding the highest operating reliability and the longest maintenance intervals.The pumps of this series are made in horizontal execution, a solution providing several advantages if compared with the vertical one and which has been chosen by Peroni since the mid 60's, when the production of vertical pumps was basically discontinued.
The series includes two pump sizes, 160 and 190. For each size triplex and quintuplex versions are available together with a septuplex model for the 190 size. The multiplunger solution allows better design optimisation as the number of pump sizes necessary to cover the performance range is minimised and the number of different components required to manufacture the whole series is reduced to the minimum, increasing the field experience on the single parts.
Quintuplex or septuplex pumps, compared with a triplex pump of equivalent performances, have reduced static and dynamic loads and pressure pulsations which simplifies pipe design. It results higher reliability, less maintenance and smoother operation of the pump.


American qualifiers Denis Kudla and Sofia Kenin, who have starred in Northern California Challengers, lost today on grass in bids for their first finals in tennis' major leagues.
Top-seeded Roger Federer beat Kudla 7-6 (1), 7-5 in the semifinals of the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany.
Kudla, 25, had not faced a seed as he reached his second semifinal on the ATP World Tour. He also advanced to the Tiburon final in 2015 and the semis in Tiburon in 2013 and Sacramento in 2015.
Federer, seeking his 10th Halle singles title, extended his grass-court winning streak to 20 matches. He slugged 12 aces, won 84 percent of the points on his first serve (42 of 50) and saved six of seven break points against him.
Unseeded Tatjana Maria, a 30-year-old Germany living in Palm Beach, Fla., outlasted Kenin, who won titles in Sacramento in 2016 and Stockton last summer, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 in the semis of the Mallorca (Spain) Open.
Maria slugged nine aces, won 81 percent of the points on her first serve (34 of 42) and converted five of seven break-point opportunities.
Kenin, 19, appeared in her first semifinal on the WTA tour. She had ousted Caroline Garcia, seeded first and ranked sixth, in the quarterfinals for her first victory over a top-10 player.


For all other jobs not on the highly skilled eligible occupations list, there is the General Employment Permit. Typically, the salary must be €30,000 or more and the employer must have carried out a labour market test.
These permits are for dependents, partners or spouses of employment permit holder and the criteria is much more relaxed. The most important things to consider when applying for this type of permit is to ensure that your proposed employer will wait for the permit to be processed and to have satisfactory details of the main employment permit holder.
• Evidence of your address in Ireland, for example, household bill (ESB, telephone, gas) or a rental agreement in your name.
Thanks to the moderating effect of the Atlantic Gulf Stream, Ireland's climate is relatively mild for its latitude, with a mean annual temperature of around 10°C. The temperature drops below freezing only intermittently during winter, and snow is scarce- perhaps one or two brief flurries a year. The coldest months are January and February, where daily temperatures ranges from 4° to 8°C, with 7°C the average. In summer, temperatures during the day are a comfortable 15° to 20°C.
During the warmest months, July and August, the average is 16°C. A hot summer's day in Ireland is 22° to 24°C, although it can sometimes reach 30°C. There are about 18 hours of daylight daily during July and August and it's only truly dark after about 11pm. Ireland receives quite a bit of rain, with the wettest months being December and January.
If you're from the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EU plus Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway) or Switzerland, as long as you have a valid passport or ID card, you don't need a visa to come to the UK or a work permit to take on employment in the UK, unless you're from the newer EU member, Croatia. If you're a Croatian national, then you may need a registration certificate to work in the UK. See here for information. If you're not from the EU/EEA or Switzerland but you're living with a partner or other family member who is, then you can apply for residence card which shows employers that you're allowed to work in the UK.
You'll probably need a visa to come to the UK; apply at the British embassy or consulate in your home country. If you want to work in the UK, you will have to have a work permit. Your employer in the UK has to apply for a work permit on your behalf relating to a specific workplace.
There are different types of visa to come and work in the UK, depending on your qualifications, area of work, your skills, talents and age; each visa has different conditions and may require you to pass a points-based assessment.
Check here to find out if you need a visa to come and work in the UK, and for information on the different types of visas available and how to apply for one.
Although the seasonal differences in Britain are not as extreme as in some countries, there is still a significant difference between winter and summer. The year is split into four seasons roughly each 3 month long, though the weather in Britain can be very erratic and so the seasons often overlap or don't follow the standard pattern.
Spring in the UK is all about new life springing up after the harsh conditions of winter. From March (roughly), the temperatures start to get warmer, frost get less frequent and days start to get longer. windy in Britain.
In theory summer in the UK should be hot and dry. In practice it is only hot in spells and it still rains quite a bit most summers. Temperature can reach 30 C. This increased in temperature matched by the increased hours of daylight which reach almost 17 hours in London in mid-June.
Autumn marks the gradual change from summer to winter and is probably the season with the biggest range in weather conditions. September and even October in Britain can often still be summery with higher temperature than August. Equally, Novembers can be very cold, and the UK sometimes even experienced widespread snow fall. In general, it is usually quiet wet and windy in autumn though it is so variable that one year after another, autumn can seem like different seasons.


October 24th Check it out! http://www.workplay.com/ with LiMBO and Josh Hoge--Hooray!
I SOOOOOOOO want to go !!! Really Really Really bad, I love LiMBO I love E, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Birmingham and WorkPlay is an awesome place to see them at!! Hope they add a *guest* to this night !!
I love Elliott and love Limbo too. That should be a great concert! I'm too far away to go, but bet it will be a good one. I liked the Live at Workplay cd with Limbo. Elliott shows up a lot on set 3 And the dvd is good too of that show.
YES YES YES the DVD is great !! I highly recomend it to ANY and all Taylor, LMBO, or Elliott fan. LiMBO is a great band by them selve but when you add Elliott and Taylor to the mix, it is a phenominal experience !!
I added pic's and Linda added some video to the thread in other bands, it's the off topic chat at the very bottom. Check it out !!


Has your fear of flying stopped you taking place a holiday/business trip? Have you so terrified of sounding an insect it stops you enjoying your plants? Maybe your fear of heights or enclosed spaces even stops you from utilizing the glass lift on the outside of your office? Number of obvious too many phobias to mention, from the well-known ones above to the lesser known phobias, such as fear of buttons, fear of toads, fear of thunder and lightning, fear of snow (last December possess been hellish for chionophobics).
A phobia is an irrational, intense fear it doesn't go out of. No matter how much you understand intellectually your fear is irrational, there is no way to allow them to go of the texture that tend to be truly frightened. The fear can only be irrational some other people. Phobics endure stress, panic and avoidance. Hybrid cars have a one phobia – the correct answer is common.
The nice thing about it is that treatment for phobias using systematic desensitisation combined with hypnotherapy (hypnotic desensitization) assist. Learning relaxation techniques could be the first appropriate slot. Next, a hierarchy of fears is settled. At the surface of the hierarchy is your goal, for example, to be able to calmly choose spider via the bath and position it out on the window. In the bottom from the hierarchy budding a situation which contains no fear for you, for example looking the actual your window at home knowing that spiders end up being the in your garden. In between are ten imagined scenarios which call for from budget friendly level of perceived fear up for the goal.
Beginning as well as slowly in the bottom of this hierarchy, fears are desensitized by imagining those situations under hypnosis. Old unhelpful patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviours are replaced with relaxation under hypnosis. A new, confident, calm response, a 'natural' response to old fears is created and recognized. Gradually you'll back the hierarchy at extremely gentle, comfortable pace to let eventually you'll feel able (and even look forward) to testing your responses in reality. Imagine how great you'll feel once you've overcome the phobia, how confident you'll feel and precisely how you in order to be able to have your life much more freely.
Remember, practicing techniques makes progress way quicker. The connected with sessions varies for individuals but commonly, only 3 to 5 sessions will be required.

Mass e-mail action: Free the Belmarsh Nine
gmfreeman | 16.12.2004 23:19 | Anti-racism | Migration | Repression
A mass e-mail action has been called to demand that Charles Clarke, the new Home Secretary, frees the Belmarsh Nine, imprisoned without trial in December 2001.
The Law Lords ruled on 16 December 2004 that the detention of foreign "terrorist" suspects without trial breaks human rights laws.
Nine men are currently imprisoned without trial in Belmarsh prison, also known as Britain's Guantanamo Bay. They have not been charged with any crime and are not able to see the "intelligence" evidence against them. Their solicitors say they have been "entombed in concrete".
Charles Clarke has just taken up his new job as Home Secretary, following in the footsteps of David Blunkett, the most right-wing Home Secretary in living memory.
Charles Clarke must now release the Belmarsh Nine. Write and ask him when they will be freed. You can contact Charles Clarke as:
charles.clarke@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
If you have not received a reply within 20 days then follow the Home Office Complaints Procedure described here:
http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/inside/org/dob/direct/dcu.html#standards
Do not be fobbed off. Insist on a reply from Charles Clarke himself!

Several key life style decisions have helped me to put some key goals into perspective. So what does that mean for the site? Here is the extremely short version.
I've semi-shifted into entrepreneur mode, and this blog is one of my resources to help build what I desire to accomplish. After reviewing my several writing outlets, I've been able to determine that there is enough readership to focus more time and be able to monetize my explications.
Offer my 2 cents to gain more? Hope so. Does this mean I'll be using you to achieve my own personal gain? Yeah. For a while I was very skeptical of the "make money from the internet" preachers, BUT after some ingenuity and feedback from trusted people – I've got a few ideas that I feel may be original and hope to offer that value to any one who is willing to consume the content.

Q: Does locally compact, not nowhere-dense topological subspace always contain open subset? We have a topological space $A$. I want to prove that it's locally compact subspace $B$ always contains  non-empty open subset if $B$ is not nowhere-dense.
I am not even sure is it true or not, may be it is possible to construct a counterexample.. But the statement in the title seems to be right to me.
There are no conditions on $A$, so it is not even Hausdorff.
I've tried to achieve a contradiction assuming that $B$ does not contain any open subset (so all points of B are boundary points) and it's closure contains at least one. But I have no idea how to use locally compactness.

A: Let the integers Z have the cofinite topology.
Each open set, including Z, is compact and the
closure of any open set is either empty or Z, thus compact.
Therefore Z is locally compact.
The subset 2Z of even integers with the inherited topology is cofinite.  In fact it is homeomorphic to Z, hence locally compact.
2Z is not a nowhere dense subset of Z.
There is no not empty, open subset of Z that is a subset of 2Z.
In general the answer to your question is no.
If the space A were Hausdorff, then your proposition might hold.

3 DIY Economy Tips You will have Missed
Like its smaller counterpart, the Fiesta, the Ford Focus was designed for the European market. The brainchild of Carroll Shelby, the Cobra first revved its engines in 1962. Shelby primarily based the unique automotive on a lightweight body that he imported from AC Automobiles within the United Kingdom, and bolted a Ford 260 engine to it. It featured a 2-door coupe-styled body. It was provided in a 4-door sedan, 2-door coupe and 2-door convertible. Manufactured under licence by Yamaha, the 2000GT sports automobile was a model provided by Toyota between 1967 and 1970. Primarily, this was the first supercar constructed by a Japanese firm. The Silver Shadow was first introduced by Rolls Royce in 1965. This was the primary Rolls Royce model to make use of a unitary chassis and body during building. The Batmobile itself was not this Futura but a replica with a fibreglass body. The Batmobile in the 1960s Batman Tv sequence was based off the Lincoln Futura, an idea automotive from 1955. Just one Lincoln Futura was ever built. Studebaker pitched the Avanti as a high-performance 4-passenger automotive. And its performance on the time was pretty particular with the Avanti breaking close to 30 information during runs on the Bonnievale Salt Flats.
Introduced in 1962, the Avanti definitely seemed totally different from different cars on the market. Though the Alfa Romeo Spider had a manufacturing run from 1966 to 1993, it's the '66 to '69 fashions, the primary generation, which might be extremely sought as classic vehicles. But typically forgotten had been the many different wonderful vehicles marketed during this decade, and at this time, many of them are highly wanted. Third, in the 2007 distribution, the two steady-states are additionally nearer to one another – a transition from the excessive to the low regime implies a 19% discount in output in 2007, as opposed to roughly 30% in 1990. While because of this transitions are less pronounced in 2007, it also implies that they are substantially extra likely in 2007 than in 1990, as we talk about below. Like a ball, correctly inflated tires have much less contact with the street, which implies they encounter much less friction, so the engine doesn't have to work as exhausting to maneuver the automotive. Because someone else manages them, you don't have to fret about diversifying individual investments your self or doing your individual document preserving. Out of them, 1,557 posted in one of many 38 cybercrime boards between 2015 and 2020, representing 7.2% of the general public forum population.
The first era of the GT40 received the prestigious Le Mans 24-hour endurance race for four straight years from 1966 to 1969. This included filling out the top three positions in 1966. Only 105 original fashions had been produced. The flexibility for FPGAs to offer low latency dealing with of information has meant that they've been efficiently utilized to high-frequency buying and selling for quite a few years (Leber et al., 2011). Historically such excessive-frequency codes have been written in HDL (Aldridge, 2013), nonetheless FPGAs are yet to achieve ubiquity in quantitative finance for accelerating financial computational models, and a serious motive is that their advantages have been less clear. In the years that followed, Shelby bolted even bigger engines to the AC frame, which brought a couple of automobile with nimble handling and plenty, and many power. The Howmet TX was an experimental automobile powered by a gas turbine engine. And that is the first car he made well-known. The first 4×4 Bronco hit the trails in 1966, and between that year and 1977, proved to be a greater than a capable off-roader.
Giroux had beforehand spent the first 15 seasons of his NHL profession with the Philadelphia Flyers earlier than the franchise traded him to the Florida Panthers prior to last season's commerce deadline. They're extra versatile, since they can be traded on the inventory market as a substitute of being held until after markets shut, the way mutual funds are. As a convertible. Can you title it? This MSX is displaying "Jet Set Willy," the follow-up to "Manic Miner." Thanks, readers, for helping us to name the game. It was launched in 1962. Are you able to title it? Moreover these highly personalized approaches, fax advertising and marketing can cowl huge areas, as well. Well lit for the aim of constructing the actions mentioned achievable. You will save on gasoline in addition to wear and tear on your brakes, which can save you even more cash. There are those that hope that you just won't ever make it to exams – then they'll keep the extra cash. It bought for a huge sum of cash in 2013. What is it? Apart from the very fact that it's the quintessential Bond automotive, the Aston Martin DB5 definitely is a basic!

Q: How to drop row with bracket in Pandas I would like to drop the [] for a given df
df=pd.DataFrame(dict(a=[1,2,4,[],5]))

Such that the expected output will be
   a
0  1
1  2
2  4
3  5

Edit:
or to make thing more interesting, what if we have two columns and some of the cell is with [] to be dropped.
df=pd.DataFrame(dict(a=[1,2,4,[],5],b=[2,[],1,[],6]))

A: One way is to get the string repr and filter:
df = df[df['a'].map(repr)!='[]']

Output:
   a
0  1
1  2
2  4
4  5

For multiple columns, we could apply the above:
out = df[df.apply(lambda c: c.map(repr)).ne('[]').all(axis=1)]

Output:
   a  b
0  1  2
2  4  1
4  5  6

A: You can't use equality directly as pandas will try to align a Series and a list, but you can use isin:
df[~df['a'].isin([[]])]

output:
   a
0  1
1  2
2  4
4  5

To act on all columns:
df[~df.isin([[]]).any(1)]

output:
   a  b
0  1  2
2  4  1
4  5  6


If a school offers girls tennis but the girl chooses to play a different fall sport can she play on the boys tennis team.
I really doubt it. You would have to play on the team offered.
Girls are allowed to play spring tennis, even if there is a fall team.
No, boys are not allowed to play fall tennis.
from OHSAA "1.14 Any girl who has not participated on the girls team in the fall, either in a scrimmage or match ,may participate on the boys team in the spring."

Wish comes true for Richland teen battling cancer
Granting a teen's wish in Richland
By WLBT Digital | September 26, 2020 at 7:10 AM CDT - Updated September 26 at 10:05 AM
RICHLAND, Miss. (WLBT) - Make-A-Wish Mississippi and Lyle Machinery partnered together to grant the wish of a Richland teenager battling cancer.
The teen is 15-year-old Jameion Bennett. He is battling a rare form of cancer that affects his thyroid glands.
Bennett's one true wish was to have a shopping spree.
On Friday, his wish was granted!
Bennett was surprised with a special parade. People lined the street to shower Bennett with love and gifts.
He received an iPhone, a television, and some Golden State Warriors gear, which is his favorite NBA Team.
Bennett has been through some difficult times but says this is a day he'll never forget.
He also received another surprise...he made the junior varsity basketball team at Richland High School!
"I'm feeling good. I made the team and I ain't know it," Bennett said.
"It overwhelms my heart that people can come together that don't even know my son and do something so sweet and humble for him and that overwhelms my heart with love," said Bennett's mom, Fernekia Coffey.

You are here: Home / Archival Collections
The Library and Media Center collects primary source materials pertaining to African American lived experience. Black people have long been subjected to oppressive actions regarding their history and legacy. Primary source materials that would document Black perspectives, achievements and contributions have been lost and destroyed. Additionally, materials that document Black people who hold other marginalized identities alongside their blackness are erased from historical memory. Black women, LGBT, queer, radical, immigrant and poverty-stricken lives are poorly reflected in the historical record. The Bunche Center library helps rectify this lack by collecting and preserving materials that might "talk back" to existing mainstream primary source collections. Families, clubs, grassroots organizations, recreational groups and individuals are encouraged to donate materials to the archives. Donations increase the amount of Black stories that are preserved for future generations.
Individual items are placed in the vertical file (subject files) with other news-clippings, flyers and programs. Collections of materials created by a group or an individual undergo an arrangement and description process before they are made available to researchers. Artifacts such as buttons, artwork or clothing are cared for according to their unique needs.
Donations to the Bunche Center library are considered a gift. UCLA has a gifting process that includes 1. The Deed of Gift, 2. Statement of Value and 3. Description of items (Exhibit A). Materials valued over $250 require a Deed of Gift and a Statement of Value. Materials valued over $5k also require the donor to provide a formal appraisal of value.
The Bunche Center may need to decline gifts that:
are not within the scope of its collection.
do not support the instructional and research programs of the university.
duplicate existing holdings.
would require extensive conservation.
entail donor restrictions the Library cannot honor.
Gifts are accepted subject to the policies of the Regents of the University of California with the understanding that the university reserves the right to determine retention and disposition. Upon acceptance, gifts become the exclusive property of the university. Donations of manuscripts may involve additional considerations to be discussed between the university and the donor.
Individuals or groups who wish to will or donate their primary source materials are encourage to contact the Librarian at librarian@bunche.ucla.edu.

Q: Limit for HASH JOINs I have a very complex query (who hasn't :-)). In this query is a JOIN to a table like this one (of course the original has some more columns):
CREATE TABLE dbo.tbl_detail (id bigint PRIMARY key,
                   descr varchar(300),
                   txt varchar(MAX),
                   descr_p varchar(300)
                  );

There are two joins to this table in the query:

*

*LEFT JOIN dbo.tbl_detail td1 ON td1.id = main.detail_id

*LEFT JOIN dbo.tbl_detail td2 ON td2.id = main.second_id

*The query returns ~200k rows.

*td1 outputs all columns

*td2 outputs all columns except [txt] (varchar(max))

Problem:

*

*td2 uses an HASH JOIN

*but td1 uses an NESTED LOOKUP (over 200k rows; no statistic problem, since the estimates are correct)

*when I remove the [txt] column from the td1 output it uses a HASH JOIN too

*when I alter the column to VARCHAR(5000) (or smaller) it uses a HASH JOIN

*when I alter the column to VARCHAR(8000) it uses the NESTED LOOKUP again

*OPTION (HASH JOIN) or LEFT HASH JOIN would work, but produces an extrem slow query plan

Question:
Why does it not always use the HASH JOIN? Is there a length limit (per column or sum of all output columns)?
PS: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 (SP2) Developer Edition

A: It's important to remember that the query optimizer doesn't choose each join individually and independently from everything else going in on the query. Joins have different properties which means that a different join type may be better or worse depending on other joins or operations in the plan. I can generate test data that shows behavior similar to what you see here, but the reproduction depends on available memory for the server.
Put 10k rows each into two tables:
CREATE TABLE dbo.tbl_detail (
    id bigint PRIMARY key,
    descr varchar(300),
    descr_p varchar(300),
    txt_max varchar(MAX),
    txt_5k varchar(5000)
);

INSERT INTO dbo.tbl_detail WITH (TABLOCK)
SELECT TOP (10000)
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
, REPLICATE('DESCR', 60)
, REPLICATE('descr_p', 40)
, NULL
, NULL
FROM master..spt_values t1
CROSS JOIN master..spt_values t2;

CREATE TABLE dbo.OUTER_TABLE (
    id bigint primary key,
    id2 bigint
);

INSERT INTO dbo.OUTER_TABLE WITH (TABLOCK)
SELECT TOP (10000)
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL))
FROM master..spt_values t1
CROSS JOIN master..spt_values t2;

Here is the query to test:
SELECT o.*, d.id, d.descr, d.descr_p
FROM OUTER_TABLE o
LEFT OUTER JOIN tbl_detail d ON o.ID2 = d.ID
ORDER BY o.ID;

If I add d.txt_5k to the SELECT list I naturally get a hash join:

However, if I add d.txt_max to the SELECT list I naturally get a loop join:

The key here is that a loop join preserves the order of the outer table. That means that a nested loop join can avoid an explicit sort for some queries. Queries with a hash join may need to do the sort. The cost of the sort depends on (among other things) the estimated size of the data. The query optimizer estimates the size of the data based on the estimated number of rows and the data types. With the VARCHAR(5000) column I get an estimated size of 27 MB and with the VARCHAR(MAX) column I get an estimated size of 42 MB. On my machine the 42 MB sort is expected to spill to disk so that makes the hash join plan much more expensive than the loop plan for the VARCHAR(MAX) column.
We can see this more clearly by using hints to force the different plans so we can compare them. Here's the comparison for the VARCHAR(5000) query:

And the comparison for the VARCHAR(MAX) query:

Of course, this may not be why you're seeing the behavior that you're seeing for your particular query. I just wanted to provide an example of why changing a data type could change the join type. I'm going to assume that there's a problem caused by the loop join and that you really need it to be hash join. The OPTION (HASH JOIN) hint may not be a good workaround because it will force every join to be a hash join in the query. The LEFT HASH JOIN hint may not be a good workaround because it implies a FORCE ORDER hint which means that the query optimizer will not be able to change the join order. Perhaps you can move the problematic part of the query to a temp table and apply whatever hints are needed to the smaller query. It's really hard to say much without more information.
You could also try a FORCESCAN hint to encourage the hash join, although I'm loathe to recommend it. Be sure to test carefully:
SELECT o.*, d.id, d.descr, d.descr_p, d.txt_max
FROM OUTER_TABLE o
LEFT OUTER JOIN tbl_detail d WITH (FORCESCAN) ON o.ID2 = d.ID
ORDER BY o.ID
OPTION (MAXDOP 1);

Q: how to call controller/action from button click in mvc 4 I have a simple login screen. On click of button i want to call LoginUser action defined in Home controller. I am getting HTTP 404, resource not found error. The address bar after clicking the button shows "http://localhost:13805/Home/LoginUser". I am not sure what i am doing wrong here. Really appreciate any help on this.
Here is the button:
<button type="submit" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("LoginUser", "Home")'" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>

and here is the action defined in Home controller:
[HttpPost]
    public ActionResult LoginUser(string username, string password)
    {
        bool loginSuccess = false;
        if (!HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
        {
            AuthenticationMode = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["AuthenticationMode"];
            if (AuthenticationMode.Equals("Forms"))
            {
                int userId = CheckUserLogin(username);
                if (userId > 0)
                {
                    CurrentUserId = userId;
                    FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, false);
                    LoadMenu();
                    loginSuccess = true;
                }
                else
                {
                    loginSuccess = false;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                loginSuccess = false;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            loginSuccess = true;
        }

        if (loginSuccess)
        {
            return RedirectToAction("Index", "home");
        }
        else
        {
            return RedirectToAction("Login", "home");
        }
    }

A: Your submit button should not have an onclick action.
It should submit a Form whose action is your endpoint ("LoginUser", "Home"), which you've correctly setup to accept HttpPost
You need a form something like this:
@using (Html.BeginForm("LoginUser", "Home", FormMethod.Post)){

<!-- form here -->
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>

}

A: Alternatively, you can change your button type from "submit" to "button" then your code should work as it is.
Below is my working code example


Most people can remember the floorplan of their current home and the layout of their local supermarket. They might also be able to create a virtual map of their current location, their home and the supermarket, which allows them to mentally navigate from one place to the next. Our sense of location depends on a network of regions in the brain, including the hippocampus and its neighbor, the medial entorhinal cortex (MEC).
The different types of neurons within these structures work together to form a sort of inbuilt GPS that tracks our position relative to other objects or places in the environment. In the hippocampus, place cells are activated when an animal occupies a single position in the environment (O'Keefe and Dostrovsky, 1971). In the MEC, head direction cells and border cells become active when an animal faces a particular direction or is near a border (Sargolini et al., 2006; Solstad et al., 2008). The MEC also contains grid cells that – much like the black squares on a chess board – represent multiple equally-spaced locations in an environment via their firing patterns (Hafting et al., 2005).
Now, in eLife, May-Britt Moser and colleagues at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology – including David Rowland as first author – report new insights into these cells (Rowland et al., 2018). Using sophisticated genetic tools paired with electrical recordings from single neurons in free-moving mice, they could assess the relationship between stellate and pyramidal cell sub-populations, and other known spatial coding neurons within the MEC layer II.
Rowland et al. measured the activity of layer II neurons while the mice freely explored an open space. Then, the same neurons were recorded while simultaneously exposed to light (a process referred to as 'phototagging'). All cells that were silenced within moments of the light onset were 'tagged' as layer II stellate cells. This allowed a comparison of firing properties during the free-foraging session between the tagged stellate neurons and untagged populations composed primarily of pyramidal cells.
The results showed that the tagged stellate cell population had similar, if not stronger, spatial firing properties compared to the untagged cell population. Grid cells existed in similar numbers in both the tagged stellate and untagged populations. This suggests that the stellate cells projecting into the hippocampus include cells from a range of functional cell types and thus, may help the hippocampus to process information about location.
The work of Rowland et al. has resolved discrepancies between previous reports and brought to light important questions. For example, how do stellate grid cells, pyramidal grid cells and other types of spatial cells shape spatial processing and memory, and are there any differences between them? To what degree do these morphologically distinct, yet functionally overlapping, sub-populations depend on one another? These questions aside, the latest work demonstrates the power of phototagging as a means to better characterize circuit-specific projections within the brain regions that support navigation.

The Crack image feature of Fracture allows a user to interactively paint, or assign an image, to define the fracture pattern that is projected through a mesh. This feature is commonly used in creating spider-web fracture pattern for shattering glass.
Draw the extrapolated splines on the crack plane.
Like with the split plane feature, a user can create more than one plane with which to project a crack image through. By default there is a single crack node available. More can be added and are indexed starting at 0. Each crack plane index has its own instance of attributes, covered below, to allow for individual adjustment of attributes on a per plane basis.
The Attribute Editor example below shows that the current node has 3 crack image planes. The first one (0) is expanded to illustrate the available attributes for each crack image plane.
When connected, each of these nodes can be found in the Outliner. By default the naming convention is "crack#".
Name of the sketchPlane node assigned to the current index. When a new index is added it does not yet have a crack node (sketchPlane) assigned. Clicking the Connect button will generate the node. If, at any time, the source geometry is scaled the Refit button will scale to the largest bounding box axis.
Attribute that the input image will be connected to. On a new crack image node there won't yet be in image connect. Clicking the Paint button will immediately put in you into paint mode. This artisan mode will allow a user to paint (in black&white) on the plane node to define the fracture pattern that will be projected through the mesh.
If the current scene is new and has not yet been saved you will see this dialog box.
As the pixel value attribute is dialed down the lower values on the image are used.
Erase paths shorter than this distance in pixels.
When toggled on this option allows a sketchPlane to scale non-uniformly to the bounding box when the Refit button is pressed.
There are handful of buttons that are located within the crack image attribute group.
Create, and connect, a sketchPlane node that will be used to paint on before projecting the cracks onto the mesh.
Based on whether or not the Non-uniform refit option is set to; scales a sketchPlane up to match either the largest dimension of the objects bounding box or the XY bounding box.
Initiates Maya Artisan mode to allow a user to paint on the sketchPlane node.
Deletes the current crack image and its associated sketchPlane node.
Creates a new crack image group. The sketchPlane node is not connected until the Connect button is used.

SHCY Stands for Democracy and the Reasoned Pursuit of Truth
Public Position
The Executive Committee of the Society for the History of Children and Youth unanimously joins the AHA's condemnation of the storming of the U.S. Capitol and the failed attempt by the President of the United States to nullify the duly certified results of the 2020 Election. We are dedicated to academic freedom and the reasoned pursuit of truth which cannot survive mob rule, the rejection of the due process of law, or a brazen disregard for evidence.
Ransacking Democracy: AHA Statement on the Events of January 6
The American Historical Association condemns the actions of those who, on January 6, stormed the United States Capitol, the seat of the nation's legislature, the heart of its democratic form of governance. This assault on the very principle of representative democracy received recent explicit and indirect support from the White House and from certain Senators and Representatives themselves. Not since 1814, when the British looted and burned the Capitol, has the United States witnessed such a blatant attack on the "People's House."
Everything has a history. What happened at the Capitol is part of a historical process. Over the past few years, cynical politicians have nurtured and manipulated for their own bigoted and self-interested purposes the sensibilities of the rioters. We deplore the inflammatory rhetoric of all the political leaders who have refused to accept the legitimacy of the results of the 2020 election and thereby incited the mob—and this on the day when the nation reported 3,865 Covid-19 deaths, the highest number reported in a single day since the pandemic began.
We note with dismay the iconography of the banners carried by the mob—the flag with the visage of the president emblazoned on it, as if loyalty were due an individual and not the rule of law, and the flag of the Confederacy, signaling violence and sedition. Not by coincidence, those people who attacked the Capitol have been described by the current president and his advisers as "great patriots" and "American patriots." The rioters were neither.
A day that began with two significant "firsts"—the election of Georgia's first African American senator and that state's first Jewish senator—ended with Congress performing its duties according to the Constitution. Yet during the day we witnessed the unprecedented spectacle of a group of Americans desecrating the sacred space of the nation's Capitol, and terrorizing everyone in it.
As historians, we call upon our fellow citizens and elected representatives to abide by the law and tell the truth. Our democracy demands nothing less of ourselves and of our leaders.
The American Historical Association is a nonprofit membership organization founded in 1884 and incorporated by Congress in 1889 for the promotion of historical studies.

Moreover the little children who are in the other life are sometimes sent by the Lord to little children on earth (although the little child on earth is quite unaware of it), and those little ones of heaven are in the highest degree delighted with these little ones of earth.

Are you ready to become one of them?


in preparation for an evening of flight.
Our weighty boots seem light tonight.
But nothing can drown out the deafening silence.
I put my hand in my pockets.
We roll down the pavement, making our approach.
My hair whips about my face.
Once I reach speed, I pull up.
Two vessels in flight, together but forever apart.
I pick up speed until the wind begins to scream around me.
Or maybe it's me who is screaming.
But when I reach mach one, I can hear nothing else.
The extreme acceleration constricts my body and I like it.
Eternity passes and I'm in the sky.

Re-tweet fringe accounts and deal with the consequences.
On Tuesday, VICE News inadvertently helped fuel online conservative outrage by claiming that Twitter, in yet another attempt to improve the quality of its platform, was "shadow banning" some prominent Republicans.
The pushback was immediate and predictable. Conservative outlets from Breitbart to the Daily Caller to the Washington Examiner all excitedly ran with the story. Donald Trump Jr. tweeted "Enough is enough with this crap," while the president said it was "not good," and vowed an investigation.
Shadow banning is a technique in which website users' posts are visible only to them. The idea is that instead of a user being permanently banned from an account, with the controversy that can cause, the user will simply stop posting because of a lack of interaction with other users.
According to VICE, "prominent Republicans" who have been shadow banned include Republican Party chair Ronna McDaniel, Trump Jr's spokesperson Andrew Surabian and several GOP lawmakers. But users who follow these accounts will still be able to see their tweets, which goes against the entire concept of shadow banning.
In other words, if an account interacts with those on the fringe, it will indicate to Twitter's algorithm that that account is either a troll or is helping to spread false information. Because the right-wing is more prone to spread sensationalism and fake news, this change has trickled down to users like McDaniel and Surabian. But left-wing accounts haven't been unscathed by this either, as Ashley Feinberg of the Huffington Post pointed out.
This is hardly the first time conservatives have complained about social media censorship. In May, Ronna McDaniel and Trump re-election campaign manager Brad Parscale went on Fox and Friends to publicize an open letter in which they claimed there was "rampant political bias" in Facebook and Twitter.
When Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before Congress in April, many Republican Senators used it as a chance to ask why conservative media personalities Diamond & Silk were being "censored" from Facebook — a claim that is completely false.
