A lot of my customers ask me the very broad question: "How do I make sure I'm making the most of my Brightcove account?" The truth is there's no magic bullet that makes an online video campaign successful. However, you can take a few simple steps to maximize the possibility that your video initiative thrives. A successful video strategy does three things: it captures site visitors' attention, engages them with relevant content, and keeps them coming back for more video goodness.
In almost all cases, visitors to your site hit your homepage first. It's therefore crucial to have a prominent video player displayed on the page. This grabs visitors' attention immediately, demonstrates the value of your product, service, or website, and ensures that viewers continue to explore deeper into your site.
One of my favorite examples of this done well is Yodle.com – who also happens to be this month's featured customer. They specialize in creating websites that help businesses capture local customers searching online, so the image of the laptop surrounding their video player really works. The video is also concise and direct, clearly defining their value proposition and pulling you further into their site.
So now that you've got your homepage video drawing visitors further into your site, what's next? Whether your site is focused on news media, e-commerce, or marketing your product/service, you're going to want to continue using video throughout your site. An effective site is one that tells a story, and while text and images get your message across if the visitor reads the page, nothing engages visitors like a contextually relevant video.
Check out what JTE System has done in this regard. Almost every singe product page is supported by a video that elaborates on product features and demonstrates the value of the product. Site visitors get to see what they are purchasing before they make the leap, increasing their confidence in the product and leading to more conversions.
The final step in your three-pronged video attack is creating a portal where site visitors can go to view your content in a centralized location. Our tabbed playlist players are great for this purpose, as they make it easy for viewers to locate relevant videos themselves via categorical playlist tabs and increase the likelihood that they will consume more of your content. Displaying all of your videos in one convenient location also increases the likelihood that viewers come back to see more later on.
As an avid sailor myself, I'm particularly fond of US Sailing's video portal, located at http://media.ussailing.org/All_Videos.htm. The tabbed format lets viewers see recently uploaded videos, with the option to drill deeper into video categories to see content that is relevant to their interests. Being able to see all of their content in one place means that if I don't have time to watch all of the videos I want to in one sitting, I know where to go to find them!

What Does Code P0411 Mean?
The secondary air injection (AIR) system aids in reducing hydrocarbon (raw fuel) tailpipe emissions during a cold start. An electric air pump draws fresh air and pumps it into the exhaust in order to accelerate catalytic converter operation. A secondary air injection pressure sensor is used by the Powertrain Control Module or PCM to monitor the air flow from the air injection pump. The PCM supplies 5 volts to power the sensor and another 5 volts as a reference or signal while finally supplying the much needed ground on the third circuit. The sensor returns a certain amount of the reference voltage based upon the amount of pressure changes within the exhaust system.
Code P0411 will set when the predicted system pressure and actual system pressure is above a predetermined amount for a certain amount of time (for example; above .4 volts for 22 seconds). This amount is set by the manufacturer.
What are the common causes of code P0411 ?
What are the symptoms of code P0411 ?
How do you troubleshoot code P0411 ?
First, take a look and see if there are any technical service bulletins (TSB) for your particular vehicle. There may be an update, or known fix put out by the manufacturer that can save you from wasting time and money.
Next, see if there are any other diagnostic fault codes. Diagnose current faults first, in the order in which they are stored. Misdiagnosis occurs when this code is diagnosed when it is a stored code, especially while other codes are active. Also, check for active Secondary A.I.R. Pump or Pump Relay fault codes. If these codes are present, diagnose them before attempting to diagnose the P0411.
If P0411 is the only active fault code present, and there are no updates/TSBs for your particular vehicle, then the next step is to locate A.I.R. Pump Relay on your particular vehicle. Once located, visually inspect the connections and wiring. Look for burn spots or melted plastic. Pull the connectors apart and carefully inspect the terminals (the metal parts) inside the connectors. See if they look corroded, burnt or possibly green in color versus the normal metal color you are probably used to seeing. You can get some Electrical Contact cleaner at any parts store if cleaning of the terminals is needed and a light plastic bristle brush to clean them with. Afterwards let them air dry, get some dielectric grease (same stuff they use for light bulb sockets and spark plug wires) and put some where the terminals come into contact.
While the relay is removed from its socket, momentarily bypass the A.I.R. Pump Relay by taking a jumper wire and plugging one end into pin 30 and one into pin 87. The pump should run. If it does not, the A.I.R. Pump will need to be replaced.
If the pump runs, find another relay identical to the one removed from the A.I.R. Pump Relay socket. Plug the new relay into the socket for the A.I.R. Pump Relay.
If you have a scan tool, clear the diagnostic trouble codes from memory, and see if this code returns. If it does not, then the connections/relay were most likely your problem, which is the most common issue.
If the P0411 code does return, we will need to test the sensor and its associated circuits. Typically, there are 3 wires at the A.I.R. System Pressure Sensor.
Disconnect the harness going to the A.I.R. System Pressure Sensor. The sensor is usually part of the Secondary Air Check Valve. For this code, the easiest thing to do is take a fused jumper wire (that's a jumper wire with a fuse in line; it protects the circuit you are testing) and connect the SIG RTN wire to the A.I.R. System Pressure Sensor Signal input wire. With the scan tool hooked up, monitor the A.I.R. System Pressure Sensor volts. It should now read close to zero volts. If a scan tool is not available that has a data stream, then see if code P2432 A.I.R. System Pressure Sensor Circuit Low Input is now set after more than 15 seconds. If either of these have occurred, then the wiring and PCM are good. The most likely problem is the sensor itself.
If all tests have passed so far, and you continue to get a P0411 code, this would most likely indicate a failed A.I.R. System Pressure Sensor, although a failed PCM could not be ruled out until the sensor had been replaced. If unsure, seek assistance from a trained automotive diagnostician. And remember, PCMs must be programmed, or calibrated to the vehicle in order to be installed correctly.
P2430, P2431 & P2432 Secondary air injection (AIR) system pressure sensor faults – P2430 may set along with P0411 as it is a generic failure of the Secondary AIR Pressure Sensor. P2431 and P2432 are unlikely to set along with the P0411, as their requirements to set are entirely different.
P0418 Secondary air injection (AIR) system Pump Control Circuit – PCM detects a failure of the pump control circuit.

Turning designs into "real hard parts"
Hendrick Motorsports is a critically acclaimed and immensely successful NASCAR® racing outfit. Operating out of a 430,000 square-foot campus in Concord, North Carolina, the team represents an important part of NASCAR history, having won 12 championships in the premier Cup Series. Its roster of stock car drivers includes Chase Elliott, William Byron, seven-time series champion Jimmie Johnson and Alex Bowman.
Hendrick Motorsports' four Cup teams are supported by a staff of more than 600 and a wide array of technologically sophisticated tools, including product lifecycle management (PLM) software from Siemens Digital Industries Software. Hendrick Motorsports leverages Siemens software to gain a competitive edge every week before they even go to the track.
To that end, Hendrick Motorsports uses Siemens Digital Industries Software's NX™ software, Simcenter™ software and Teamcenter® software for its product development needs.
"The ability to turn designs into real hard parts is critical for us, and the Siemens Digital Industries Software suite helps support every facet of that," notes Jim Wall, director of engine programs.
Hendrick Motorsports started using software in the engine engineering shop in the early 1990s. The team employed computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software to create the toolpaths they needed to drive the 3-, 4- and 5-axis operations on their Haas machine tools. This led to greater efficiency and also removed one of the early engineering problems: part variability.
As they increased their use of engineering software to the design and simulation disciplines, they began to see significant benefits as it enabled the engineering team to capture, document and collaborate on designs. The linkage between the computer-aided design (CAD), CAM and computer-aided engineering (CAE) tools also led to less data import and export, fewer errors in translation and a greater ability to keep the engineering groups aligned on the latest parts and design updates.
Developing the digital backbone
In 2004, the team realized it had data that came from all sorts of areas that could and should be linked to product development, production, track operations and post-race inspection. The team realized this information could be used to help develop next-generation product design efforts. In 2004, the Hendrick Motorsports team and Siemens Digital Industries Software consultants began to map out a digital twin strategy for the NASCAR powerhouse.
The first step was to sit down and under - stand how Hendrick Motorsports was doing business. This led to creating of the first data model, the foundation for the environment that continues to grow and evolve today. This ecosystem enables the team to take advantage of new tools and technologies, and to recognize better ways to access, share and protect their critical data.
From the beginning, the Teamcenter tool was chosen as the digital backbone. Hendrick Motorsports captures data from a wide range of areas, not just from the CAD, CAM and CAE tools. Track performance data, dyno data, build sheets, etc., are all brought together with the CAD models, CAM toolpaths and CAE setups and results, providing a digital twin that is organized and linked in a way that makes sense to everyone in the organization. Searching for data used to take hours, days and even weeks because people had to spend time looking through binders and file cabinets. Now it takes minutes.
"There's just enough red tape to provide operational structure but not enough to get in the way of people doing their jobs," says Wall.
And their use of the Teamcenter Business Modeler Integrated Development Environment (BMIDE) tool allows their administrator to configure and modify their environment to fit the team's needs. This provides them with confidence that customizations will transition through software updates, making everyone's lives that much less stressful.
Additionally, the Hendrick Motorsports team has been optimizing and rolling out the Active Workspace client to improve the accessibility and enhance the experience of their users, who now extend well beyond the engineers and include fabrication, machining, engine and chassis assembly, race operations, marketing and corporate executives.
Using Teamcenter helps the team get the right data to the right people at the right time in a secure environment. This, in turn, means that more time is spent evaluating and analyzing their options.
As crew chief Chad Knaus states, "The engineers come with solution options now, instead of just dropping stacks of data on my desk for me to sift through."
Leveraging the digital twin
One way to look at a NASCAR race team operation is to see it as a new product release 36 times a year. The races happen whether the team is ready for them or not.
So engineering has to continuously go through development, and produce a steady stream of enhancements (or problem mitigation solutions) during the season. This means they are constantly trying to balance between new ways to gain performance advantages while maintaining reliability.
One way that Hendrick Motorsports is working with Siemens Digital Industries Software to get more ideas onto their cars faster is through their involvement with the Siemens Digital Industries Software Early Adopter Program (EAP), which partners select customers with the firm's software product development teams. The EAP gives customers access to unreleased software if they agree to test it and provide feedback to development.
One longstanding challenge for Hendrick Motorsports in terms of complexity and time to completion has been port machining operations. Although Hendrick Motorsports receives premachined cylinder head castings from GM, they perform multiple 5-axis simultaneous machining operations to the ports using tube milling. These changes allow the team to create the 750-horsepower (HP) engines that you see weekly on the race tracks.
When Siemens started developing tube milling, they invited Hendrick Motorsports to participate in the EAP.
The engineers and machinists that worked on this project were able to see how the new tools would reduce the time required to generate toolpaths by a factor of 10x or more. They were also able to see that the quality of the 5-axis toolpaths are superior to anything that they had before, resulting in better finishes and less rework on complex surfaces.
Additionally, the Hendrick Motorsports crew was able to help the Siemens developers drive real world usability enhancements and input into the product before release, leading to a product that is far more mature for all the other users in the Siemens Digital Industries Software world.
Creating the best designs possible
Another interesting aspect of NASCAR is that every week the cars are parked in an open garage next to the other teams.
"The open garage policy means it becomes a self-policing garage so the shelf life of a good idea is only a week or two," says Tad Merriman, engineering manager of the engine shop.
So with all the changes and ideas floating around, it is important the team understands what they need to be working on. They need to test new ideas and move forward with promising ideas while killing ideas that are not panning out quickly. And they have to constantly be looking for the next new idea. They are not creating a 2018 model car and moving on; rather, they are creating the Daytona 500 car, refining it until they race it, while also looking forward to the races for the rest of the year.
Designing with confidence
As these engineering teams work on development projects, they have found Simcenter absolutely critical to their work. From the start of work on a new idea, the engineers leverage Simcenter 3D as a critical piece of the design process. Typically, there are two types of projects – new ideas for designs or modifications, and projects that come back from the track based on testing or race results.
For example, the team noticed that it was getting damage on the pushrod tip. The team applied the assembly finite element method (FEM), a key strength of Simcenter 3D, to understand what happened so they could make better designs. Using assembly FEM even for a few parts provides the opportunity to investigate and understand the interactions between components and see if and where that interaction is causing part damage and potential failure.
Getting the best cars to the track every week
Hendrick Motorsports has proven time and again that their partnership with Siemens Digital Industries software helps them win races and championships.
"The key benefit that the Siemens products give us at Hendrick Motorsports is the speed of response to make a competitive change to fix problems and create more performance at the race track in a tight window of time," says Wall.
"If we can take advantage of rule changes faster, we can develop and implement new ideas faster, and this can result in winning races. Siemens Digital Industries Software is a competitive advantage," says Merriman.
Need proof?
Since the Hendrick Motorsports partnership with Siemens Digital Industries Software started in 1997, Hendrick Motorsports has won over 300 NASCAR races and 14 championships in the three national levels of NASCAR, 10 at the top level with Jeff Gordon, Terry LaBonte and Jimmie Johnson. And no one is about to suggest they are even close to being done yet.

Farm lobbyists don't believe bill will advance.
Two U.S. Representatives from Southern California are sponsoring legislation that would force federal agencies to purchase meat only from sources that raised the animals free from cruelty and abuse.
Representatives Diane Watson, D-Calif., and Elton Gallegly, R-Calif., introduced the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act to set a higher standard for food purchased by the federal government. Their bill, H.R. 4733, requires that food purchased for federal programs come from animals raised with enough room to stand up, lie down, turn around and stretch their limbs.
American Farm Bureau lobbyist Mary Kay Thatcher says she doesn't think the bill will go anywhere.
"The good news is that the people who introduced it are a little bit lower ranking in the scheme of things than the people who did before," Thatcher said. "I doubt that this year you are going to see much on the Federal level that will move, I think HSUS is going to continue on the state levels."
HSUS, the Humane Society of the United States, praised the Watson-Gallegly proposal and encouraged Congress to act swiftly to pass it. The bill was referred to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the House Agriculture Committee.
Thatcher, a panelist at a Commodity Classic breakout session on agriculture's agenda in Washington, DC, along with National Farmers Union lobbyist Chandler Goule, noted that livestock groups are very appreciative of the financial and public relations support they're getting from grain and soybean groups in their battle against animal welfare activists.
According to Goule, HSUS leaders don't want their rank and file members to know what the organization is really up to.
"What your average American who's not in agriculture production does not understand is that HSUS is a $120 million, $135 million political machine and it has zero animals in its care," Goule said. "You have all these grandmothers and granddads that think when they give to HSUS that they're getting cats and dogs off their streets. They're not; they're giving HSUS more ammunition to go into your states and regulate how you produce agriculture. If you truly want to help cats and dogs, go give to your local shelter."
Thatcher pointed out that in addition to having more money and more members than the six-million member Farm Bureau does, the 11-million member HSUS also has more lawyers.
"Farm Bureau has six lawyers on staff, HSUS now has 30, which is up from five or six years ago when they had five; now they have 30," Thatcher said. "So that ought to tell everybody that their plan is far more to go to the legal and lawsuit stuff than continuing some of what they're doing now."
Goule, formerly staff director of the House Agriculture Livestock, Dairy and Poultry Subcommittee, agreed with Thatcher that HSUS would continue to focus on enacting humane handling laws at the state level.


Canada was a founding member of the Joint Strike Fighter program, the U.S.-led consortium with Lockheed Martin to develop the F-35 fighter jet, back in 1997. The government of Australia joined the program five years later.
On December 10, 2018, two F-35s arrived at the Royal Australian Air Force's Williamstown base. They go along with eight other F-35s received by the RAAF, which are currently stationed at the F-35 training centre in Arizona. In total, Australia will receive 72 F-35s as it retires its 35-year-old F-18 fleet by the end of 2023.
And what of Joint Strike Fighter founding member, Canada? Our federal government recently finalized a deal to buy 25 well-used F-18s from Australia — 18 to fly and seven for spare parts.
As we take possession of Australia's scrap, Canada is in the early stages of a minimum five-year-long process to pick a replacement for the F-18, which will be more than 50 years old before it is retired in the 2030s.
We will spend billions to extend the life cycle of a jet the auditor general says, "Will be disadvantaged against many potential adversaries … Threats to the CF-18 would have to be reduced or destroyed by allies before the CF-18 could operate in certain environments, which would limit Canada's contribution to NORAD and NATO operations."
The fiasco of fighter jet replacement is the best example of a procurement system that is cumbersome, bureaucratic and beset by political interference.
Canadian pilots could be training on next-generation aircraft now if not for an ill-advised promise to scrap the planned purchase of the F-35, made by Justin Trudeau as the leader of the third party prior to the 2015 federal election. Instead, the Air Force is stuck with aging jets with limited capabilities and pilots are leaving the RCAF at an alarming rate.
Similar delays are plaguing the $60-billion project to replace Canada's warships with the regrettable consequence that the Irving Shipyard in Halifax is likely to have a significant gap between the completion of the Arctic offshore patrol vessels and the commencement of the surface combatant project. Similar gaps have emerged in the construction of non-combat vessels at the Seaspan yard in Vancouver.
The consequences of these time lags will be rising costs and an inability to retain skilled workers.
I believe the current government is to blame for some of the problems, particularly poor project management and its politicization of the fighter jet replacement. Nevertheless, military procurement has bedeviled successive governments, Liberal and Conservative alike.
That's why I requested the Senate's National Finance Committee, of which I am a member, to study military procurement. The study started before Christmas and will conclude this year.
Political interference, not just for partisan advantage but also due to regional turf protection (we'll hear more of this as the Mark Norman case proceeds, I suspect) bears some of the blame.
The procurement process is expected to serve multiple objectives: delivering the right equipment to the Canadian Armed Forces in a timely and cost-effective manner on the one hand, and providing industrial and technological benefits to the economy on the other.
I support both of these objectives. There are good reasons to build military-industrial capability for regional development and to save costs for maintaining and updating the equipment. But it would be naïve to pretend those objectives don't conflict on occasion.
However, I think the main reason for paralysis in military procurement in Canada is it is too cumbersome and bureaucratic. Process is paramount and results are secondary.
There are layers of committees, depending on the size of the project, with membership from Public Services and Procurement Canada, National Defence, and Innovation, Science and Economic Development.
The consensus-based decision-making process on which these committees operate is supposed to avoid a big mistake — no doubt an appealing quality for a risk-averse bureaucracy, but the downside is the system is not conducive to fast action.
Simply put, the buck stops nowhere.
The consequences are clear, when comparing the federal government's objectives in its June 2017 defence policy "Strong, Secure, Engaged" with what has been delivered.
In the last fiscal year, the policy projected capital spending of $6.1 billion, yet only $3.7 billion was spent. This year, $6.55 billion is called for under SSE, but total appropriations to date amount to $4 billion.
Given this poor track record, the idea that military spending can be cranked up by 70% over 10 years, as envisioned in Strong, Secure, Engaged, looks increasingly fanciful.
Unless ministers start to devote close attention to the management of major projects, or until the process is overhauled, Canadians can continue to expect poor outcomes and wasted taxpayer dollars.

Air conditioning refers to a method of filtering air and humidity to keep its temperature at desired levels in a room or car. The air conditioners are important to consider when it comes to seasons like summer. It is important to ensure you have the right devices for air conditioning and this is possible if the company chosen is the best. Systems and equipment are prone to various problems, and air conditioners are not an exception re installation may, therefore, be needed after a certain period. The best results for your house's favorable stay will depend on the choice you make for air conditioning experts. Below are different procedures for choosing the best air conditioner maintainers and repairers.
To begin with, air conditioner repairers in the company should be qualified and understand the work required of them. For this reason, air conditioner repairers specialists are the best to consider because you are sure they will deliver . As a result of their qualification, they have the right equipment involved in installation and repair. They also deliver their work on time and follow their code of conduct.
When choosing the best Lady Lake air conditioning repair, it is needful to consider the prices she or she charges each service. Ensure you investigate the charges of other air conditioning experts, make a comparison and then you can settle for the cheapest.You should only go for the services you need to avoid high charges. The lower the price of the repair services the better it is for your pocket but ensure the service is standard. A financial plan should be considered before paying for any service.
Any time need the repair and maintenance services are needed the air conditioner repairer should be available. During extreme seasons, the air conditioners might experience destruction and urgency might be needed. The organization should have some dependable workers who are close to your area of residence to ensure they respond to your call as fast as possible. The firm should be committed to communicating through the right channels and if it experienced some challenges it should inform its client.
Finally, another tip to consider if the Lady Lake air purification and heating company is well informed and exposed to the air conditioning repairs and maintainers. Longer working for air conditioning companies the appropriate skills for producing the best results. A well-exposed air conditioning company can advise you accordingly as to whether to replace the who air conditioning system or repair. Before choosing an air conditioning firm to work with, ensure that you source information from people around you because saves you from inexperienced and incompetent brokers.

Q: Adding subview to UITable I'm trying to add as subview into a section in UITableView, It looks like the code is correct, the it doesn't show anything, just blank section. Here's the code that I use:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
    }

    if(indexPath.section==0){
        cell.textLabel.text =@"<>";
    }else if(indexPath.section==1){
        if(indexPath.row==1){
            cell.frame =CGRectMake(0,0, 100, 100);
            [cell.contentView addSubview:page.view];
        }
    } else if(indexPath.section==2){

    }

    // Configure the cell.
    return cell;
}

Thanx in advance..

A: One of the problems is that you are trying to change the height of the cell. If you want to do so, in addition to changing its frame, you must also implement tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: and return appropriate values for each row. If page is properly loaded (assuming it's a view controller), you can add the view as a subview. Make sure its frame falls within the bounds of the cell.
Attaching the view
Since dPage is a view controller, you will have to declare page as an ivar of class dPage and then do this in viewDidAppear:,
page = [[dPage alloc] initWithNibName:"page" bundle:nil];

and tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: remains unchanged.

Belägringen av Port Arthur (japanska:  旅順攻囲戦, Ryojun Kōisen; ryska: Оборона Порт-Артура, Oborona Port-Artura) utspelades mellan den 1 augusti 1904 och 2 januari 1905 under rysk-japanska kriget. Striderna slutade med att den ryska garnisonen kapitulerade för japanerna efter en över fem månader lång belägring. Erövringen av Port Arthur och den förkrossande segern i sjöslaget vid Tsushima bidrog tillsammans till att avgöra kriget till japanernas fördel.

Bakgrund
Under första kinesisk-japanska kriget erövrade japanerna Liaodonghalvön med hamnstaden Port Arthur. I det följande fredsfördraget i Shimonoseki avträdde sedan Kina området till Japan. Ryssland, som inte ville se en alltför stor rubbning maktbalansen, tvingade dock japanerna att återlämna området redan samma år. Även om Liaodong formellt återgavs till kineserna så "lånade" Ryssland tillsvidare halvön.

Ryssarna brukade sedan hamnen som örlogsbas för sin stillahavsflotta och lade ned betydande resurser på dess försvar. Vid krigsutbrottet 1904 räknades Port Arthur därför som en av de starkast befästa platserna i världen. Den första försvarslinjen utgjordes av en serie befästa kullar som gick i en 32 km lång halvcirkel kring staden. Befästningarna länkades samman av ett nät av skyttegravar, skyddade av svåröverkomliga taggtrådshinder.

Krigsutbrottet
Striderna om hamnstaden inleddes den 8 februari 1904, då japanska torpedbåtar genomförde ett överraskningsanfall mot örlogsfartygen i Port Arthurs hamn. Två ryska slagskepp skadades men den övriga flottan klarade sig relativt oskadd. Japanerna planerade vidare att stänga in de ryska fartygen i hamnen genom att blockera utloppet. Då infarten till hamnen var långsmal och grund försökte de vid upprepade tillfällen att nattetid segla in fraktfartyg lastade med betong och sprängmedel. Dessa skulle i självmordsanfall detonera och blockera utloppet. Snart blev det dock uppenbart för japanska flottan att en sjöblockad inte räckte för att betvinga Port Arthur. Slutsatsen blev att staden var tvungen att intas från landsidan av armén.

Försvaret leddes av den ryske generallöjtnanten Anatolij Stössel, som hade drygt 50 000 soldater och sjömän till sitt förfogande. Utöver garnisonen uppgick stadens civilbefolkning till mellan 30 och 40 000 personer. Under veckorna före belägringen förstärktes försvaren ytterligare. Man led brist på betong och taggtråd och blev därför tvungen att improvisera med telegraftrådar. Minor lades och kommunikationerna mellan försvarsverken förbättrades genom installationen av ett flertal telefonlinjer. Trots detta trodde Stössel inte att japanerna på allvar kunde hota staden och såg till att fästningens livsmedelsförråd utdelades till de ryska fältarméerna. Detta betydde att det inte skulle finnas mat nog åt de nära 87 000 personerna som uppehöll sig innanför vallarna i händelse av en belägring.

Samtidigt trängde den japanska 1:a armén under Kuroki Tamemotos befäl, in i Manchuriet och besegrade en underlägsen rysk styrka vid Yalufloden. Efter segern landsteg Yasukata Okus 2:a armé på Liaodonghalvön och skar av Port Arthurs förbindelse med de ryska trupperna Manchuriet. En rysk undsättningsstyrka besegrades vid Te-li-Ssu den 15 juni, varefter staden inneslöts av japanerna. Uppgiften att erövra flottbasen gavs till den 90 000 man starka 3:e armén under Maresuke Nogis befäl.

Inledande anfall
I början av augusti hade 3:e armén intagit ett gott utgångsläge för anfall. Nogi planerade att först erövra höjderna nordost om Port Arthur genom en snabb och avgörande stormning. Den japanska arméledningen hade emellertid fått mycket bristfällig information gällande de ryska befästningarnas styrka, och förväntade sig därför att försvarsverken skulle erövras med lätthet. Nogi beordrade därför att ställningarna skulle intas genom ett frontalanfall. Efter ett 15 timmar långt artilleribombardemang satte sig det japanska infanteriet i rörelse mot de ryska skyttegravarna.

Vid halv åtta-tiden skedde en plötslig förändring i väderleken och det tidigare milda vädret förbyttes mot hällande regn. De genomblöta  infanteristerna kämpade sig ändå fram genom mörkret och leran mot de fientliga ställningarna. För att kunna ta sig fram till de ryska linjerna blev anfallarna tvungna att gå över Taifloden, men trots att ingenjörstrupper lyckades spränga dammbyggnaden, och därmed  frigjort flodens vattenmassor, så blev övergången besvärlig för japanerna och många soldater drunknade.

Större delen av trupperna lyckades till slut ta sig fram till foten av höjderna. Försvararna använde sig dock effektivt av strålkastarna på flottans fartyg för att koncentrera kulsprute- och artillerield mot de framryckande japanerna. Efter att ha lidit svåra förluster körde stormningen fast. Följande dag gjorde japanerna ett nytt försök att erövra höjden, som till slut föll efter hårda man mot man-strider. Den andra höjden intogs dagen efter. Anfallen hade då  kostat över 3 000 japanska soldater livet.

Höjd 174
Japanernas nästa mål var att erövra höjderna kring Wantaidalen, för att sedan ta sig över muren som omgav staden. Anfallet började den 19 augusti då 80 000 japanska soldater stormade höjd 174. Japanerna avancerade i fullt dagsljus och lyckades, trots enorma förluster, att ta sig förbi taggtrådshindren och etablera ett brohuvud på den norra sluttningen. Ryssarna kämpade hårdnackat för varje meter terräng men drevs sakta tillbaka. Japanerna erövrade de två första av ryssarnas skyttegravslinjer, men hejdades slutligen vid den tredje. Efter blodiga strider intogs slutligen höjderna men våldsamma drabbningar rasade fortfarande. När dammet lagt sig hade nära 16 000 japaner antingen dödats, sårats eller tillfångatagits. Det japanska 7:e infanteriregementet hade bara 200 stridsdugliga män kvar från en ursprunglig styrka på 1 800 soldater. Trots de skyhöga förlusterna hade anfallarna endast intagit de svagaste ryska ställningarna.

Striderna om höjd 203

Någon regelrätt belägring av flottbasen inleddes inte förrän den 25 augusti. Förstärkningar och materiel anlände från Japan och sakta men säkert erövrades ställning efter ställning. I slutet av september ökade trycket på Nogi att inta Port Arthur innan den ryska östersjöflottan hann anlända till Stilla havet. Ryssarna hade fortfarande starka fältarméer norr om staden, och den utdragna belägringen hade endast tjänat till att binda upp trupper som behövdes på andra frontavsnitt. Samma månad anlände de tunga 28 cm haubitsarna från Japan och bombardemanget av befästningarna upptogs med förnyad intensitet. I samband med beskjutningen arbetade japanska sappörer febrilt med att försöka spränga en bräsch genom försvarsverken.

Den viktigaste ryska försvarsställningen var belägen på två bergstoppar och kallades för höjd 203. Topparna sågs som nyckeln till fästningen och var kraftigt befästa med varsitt bepansrat citadell och dubbla skyttegravslinjer. Japanerna kastade sig åter fram mot de ryska ställningarna och möttes av en mördande eld från artilleri och kulsprutor. Anfall och motanfall avlöste varandra och ställningarna bytte ägare ett flertal gånger. Efter hårda strider med begränsade resultat, trots stor manspillan, beslöt sig japanerna för att ändra taktik.

Infanteriets massanfall övergavs i förmån för ett längre artilleribombardemang, och under de följande dagarna regnade över 1 000 granater över de ryska befästningarna, som sakta sköts i bitar. Klockan 10:30 den 5 december föll höjderna i japanska händer. Stormningen hade kostat japanerna 14 000 döda och sårade medan ryssarna förlorade 6 000 man. Efter striderna användes topparna som artilleriställningar där japanerna placerade sina tunga kanoner. Höjderna erbjöd en utmärkt överblick över flottbasen och gav anfallarna möjlighet att bombardera de ryska örlogsfartygen i Port Arthurs hamn.

Fästningen kapitulerar
Vid mitten av december stod det klart att Port Arthur inte skulle kunna hålla stånd mycket längre. Livsmedelsbristen hade blivit akut och sjukdomar bräserade bland de undernärda soldaterna. Trots detta vägrade fortfarande större delen av officerarna att kapitulera och det blev ofta gräll bland manskapet. mot slutet av månaden hade japanerna erövrat större delen av den yttre försvarslinjen. Den 1 januari skickade Stössel ut en officer för att förhandla med Nogi om kapitulationsvillkor. Man kom överens om att de kvarvarande ryska soldaterna skulle gå i krigsfångenskap medan officerarna fick välja mellan att följa manskapet i fångenskapen eller att bli frigivna.

Följder
Segern kostade japanerna mellan 60 och 90 000 stupade. Omkring hälften av dessa dukade under av olika sjukdomar som Beriberi, orsakad av otillräckliga matransoner. De ryska förlusterna uppgick till cirka 30 000 man. Kriget pågick i ytterligare sju månader tills de ryska land- och sjöstridskrafterna var grundligt besegrade.

Question, I need to replace dip stick for 318 & wondering if stock is same as marine ?
I can measure length when I'm next at boat, or if someone else can...?
Only wrinkle will be at upper end's end.
Thanks, I should have thought of that .I have have the dip stick, just cap is missing that keeps oil vapor from coming out.
I will take to parts store & compare.
I was thinking marine engine had a deeper oil pan but not sure.
Some marine engines have a different oil pan but most are the same. Take the old dip stick to a wrecking yard and compare.
Chrysler Marine used two different oil pans too, a steel one and a cast AL one. Don't know if dipsticks are same or not, will check my Chry Marine parts book .
The steel pan marine engines were used on i/o, jet, and bobtail installs. They use the truck pan (with an added bracket welded on the front) and use the same dipstick as most trucks. The standard inboard install uses the cast aluminum pan with its own unique dipstick and tube. I may have a dipstick if needed.
Ok, these are the part numbers straight from the Chrysler Marine parts book. For the steel pans, dipstick is #2946470, for the cast aluminum pans, it's #E9258M. The truck dipstick is likely the 2946470, so I believe the Al pan is marine only. Check Hurrikain and so if it's still available.

Q: Joining 2 Select statements and limiting the 2nd to the results of the first I'm trying to join the first 100 results fron one inner select to a second.
My example is a little contrived, but I have a table of email addresses with a number of them that get marked as dirty, and a table of observations that I map emails and names to (they both comprise the primary key in this table).  I want the result to be the number of distinct names per email address.
SELECT ea.email, tmp.uniques FROM
  (SELECT email FROM emails WHERE dirty = 1 LIMIT 100) ea
  INNER JOIN
  (SELECT email, COUNT(DISTINCT(name)) as uniques FROM nameEmailObservations GROUP BY email ) tmp
  ON (tmp.email = ea.email);

The query appears to be valid, but it's taking a long time.  Any idea why or what I can do?   I suspect it's because the 2nd query isn't having its results limited to the first query.  The second query does take a long time by itself, because nameEmailObservations is huge.

A: Surely:
SELECT
    e.email,
    COUNT(DISTINCT neo.name)
FROM
    emails e
INNER JOIN
    nameEmailObservations neo
ON
    e.email = neo.email
WHERE
   e.dirty = 1
GROUP BY
    e.email
LIMIT 100

is what you're trying to do?
If it's the LIMIT that's causing the problem (i.e. only being applied at the end of the query), how about:
SELECT
    email,
    COUNT(DISTINCT name)
FROM
    nameEmailObservations
WHERE
    email IN
    (SELECT email FROM emails WHERE dirty = 1 LIMIT 100)
GROUP BY
    email

Uncle Wolfie's Breakfast Tavern Now Open
Brewers Hill brunch place offers beer and eggs seven days a week.
By Jennifer Rick	- Dec 17th, 2018 12:11 pm
Uncle Wolfie's Breakfast Tavern. Photo taken December 17th, 2018 by Jeramey Jannene.
Yet another brunch restaurant has opened in Milwaukee, this time in Brewer's Hill. But this one has a pretty unique menu, and is also a tavern.
Uncle Wolfie's Breakfast Tavern (234 E. Vine St.) opened to the public today, December 17. The breakfast and lunch restaurant is owned by husband-and-wife team, Wolfgang and Whitney Schaefer. The opening date was announced via Uncle Wolfie's Facebook page on December 7. "We are so happy, elated really, to let you know our doors will be open to the public starting December 17th," the post reads. "We can not wait to welcome you into the space. It's been a beautiful effort by so many amazing folks, we are so thankful."
The menu contains some simple classics, such as a gluten-free fresh fruit parfait served with seasonal fruit, honey nut granola and greek yogurt ($7) or a house salad ($8). However, most of the dishes offer at least one twist on a breakfast or lunch favorite. For starters, there's the PB&J stuffed french toast with challah, peanut butter cream cheese and blackberry gastrique ($10). The BELCH sandwich contains bacon, eggs, lettuce tomato, cheddar and sambal aioli on sourdough, served with a choice of potatoes ($12).
On the lunch side, the Orange and Blue Salad is served with orange supremes, blue cheese, candied almonds, raspberry balsamic, pickled red onion field greens and a white balsamic vinaigrette ($11). The Millee Cheese Steak offers coffee rubbed chuck, garlic pickled jalapenos and onions, beer cheese sauce and mayo on a hoagie ($12). Both burgers on the menu, the hamburger with cheese ($12) and Breaky Burger ($14), sub out normal patties with an American cheese stuffed one-third pound burger.
As for drinks, well, the new restaurant's Facebook page offers this slogan: "Beer goes with breakfast." Cocktails will also be served. Or you can go the other way with a variety of espresso-based drinks.
The tavern has been in the works for a few years. The Schaefers first bought the building in 2015, and began remodeling a year later. The building also houses Orange and Blue Co., a lifestyle shop owned by Whitney Schaefer. The business provides a "curated mix of vintage and modern home goods and accessories," according to its website.
Hours of operation for Uncle Wolfie's Breakfast Tavern are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

With data breaches on the rise, which firewall vendor is the better long-term investment?
Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW) and Check Point Software (NASDAQ:CHKP) are two of the largest firewall vendors in the world. The number of personal records exposed in data breaches worldwide doubled to 178 million last year, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center, indicating that business should be booming for both companies.
Yet shares of Palo Alto and Check Point have declined 18% and 4% respectively since the beginning of the year due to concerns about slower enterprise spending and competition from bigger rivals. Will either stock bounce back in the near future? Let's examine their core businesses, growth, and valuations to decide.
Palo Alto and Check Point both provide firewalls and other security solutions to a wide variety of customers. Palo Alto, which serves over 34,000 customers worldwide, mainly larger businesses -- including 85 of the Fortune 100 and half of the Global 2000. Check Point serves small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and individual consumers. Its customer base includes over 100,000 businesses and millions of users worldwide.
Palo Alto was founded in 2005 in the heart of Silicon Valley, while Check Point was founded in Ramat Gan, Israel, in 1993. Most of Palo Alto's workforce is still located in Silicon Valley, while Check Point's operations are spread across Israel, Sweden, Australia, Canada, and the United States. Both companies face the threat of larger competitors, like Cisco, undercutting each companies products with cheaper, bundled security solutions.
Palo Alto's revenue rose 41% annually to $400.8 million last quarter, but that represented a slowdown from 48% growth in the previous quarter and 59% growth in the prior year quarter. Total billings (reported plus deferred revenue) rose 45%, a slowdown from 61% growth in the previous quarter and 69% growth a year ago.
Palo Alto expects its third quarter revenue to rise 33%-35%, marking its slowest growth rate since its IPO four years ago. The company's full-year revenue is expected to rise 33% this year, down from 55% growth in 2015. Those numbers weren't terrible, but that slowdown made its P/S ratio of 9 look a bit pricey.
Check Point's revenue rose just 7% to $423 million last quarter, compared to 8% growth in the previous quarter and 9% growth a year ago. Deferred revenues rose 14%, compared to 14% growth in the previous quarter and 18% growth in the prior year quarter. Analysts expect its revenues to rise just 5% this quarter and 6% for the full year, compared to 9% growth last year. Those numbers don't look great, especially in comparison to Check Point's P/S ratio of 8.
However, Check Point -- which is profitable by both non-GAAP and GAAP measures -- has kept much better control over its expenses than Palo Alto. Its non-GAAP EPS rose 10% annually to $1.09 last quarter, while its GAAP EPS rose 8% to $0.95. Palo Alto's non-GAAP EPS rose 79% to $0.50 per share, but its GAAP net loss widened from $0.55 per share a year ago to $0.61.
That disparity can mainly be attributed to the difference between the companies' salaries and stock-based compensation (SBC) expenses. Since Palo Alto Networks is based in Silicon Valley, it pays its employees much more than Check Point, which has a more globally diversified workforce.
According to Paysa.com, Palo Alto employees receive average annual salaries of $193,000, while Check Point employees receive average salaries of $143,000. Last quarter, Palo Alto's SBC expenses surged 64% annually and consumed 28% of its revenues. Check Point's rose just 17% and claimed a mere 5% of its revenues. Therefore, Check Point easily wins any direct comparisons against Palo Alto in terms of operating margins and GAAP profitability.
But in terms of non-GAAP profits, which are used in analyst forecasts, Palo Alto's outlook is stronger. Analysts expect Palo Alto's non-GAAP earnings to improve 42% annually over the next five years, which gives it a 5-year price/earnings to growth (PEG) ratio of 1.2.
Check Point's earnings are expected to rise 10% annually over the next five years, which gives it a higher PEG ratio of 1.7. This means that Palo Alto is still cheaper than Check Point relative to its non-GAAP earnings growth potential.
Based on its sales, non-GAAP earnings growth, and valuations, Palo Alto is a more promising investment than Check Point. But as I mentioned in previous articles, Palo Alto's upside will remain limited if it can't reduce its SBC expenses or buy additional companies to maintain its long-term sales growth.

Evangelist Clayton Jennings Steps Away From Ministry After Multiple Sex Partners Come Forward
CP U.S. | Thursday, December 01, 2016
By Leonardo Blair, Senior Features Reporter
Evangelist and author, Clayton Jennings, 28. | (Photo: Facebook)
Clayton Jennings, a youth evangelist, author and actor who rose to fame in 2011 after his self-produced film "Strayland" became a hit, has stepped away from his ministry after several women came forward alleging he engaged in extra-marital sexual relations with them.
In a series of articles in the Polemics Report, blogger JD Hall highlighted the confessions of a number of women who claim Jennings, 28, wooed them into sexual sin while plying them at times with alcohol and pushing the use of the morning-after pill to limit the possibility of a career-ending pregnancy. The Christian News Network suggested at least six women have come forward so far.
"I told him I had never been in a serious relationship and so had never been with a guy physically that way before. He would then take my hands in an effort to 'teach me what to do.' I felt like a broken record telling him that I was a virgin and wanted to save myself for marriage," one woman alleged of her experience with Jennings before he was married.
"We didn't actually have sex, but I was pressured into being sexually intimate with him in other ways. I told him that it was my belief that sexual favors (of all forms) outside of marriage is a sin against God. He would stare at me with such a confused look on his face as he assured me 'No, it's not the same' and because of his authority as a 'minister,' I believed him and gave in."
Hall also charged that when he began investigating the claims, Jennings, who has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media, offered him "a sizable amount of money" but he rejected it.
"When we began this endeavor, Jennings sent me a sizable amount of money (which I returned, calling it a bribe), and then one of Jennings' 'mentors' threatened to sue me. After it became clear that we wouldn't relent, Jennings released a video with a different mentor, advocating his restoration," wrote Hall.
The Christian Post reached out to Jennings for comment on the bribery allegations on Thursday and his team flatly denied it, saying that "most publications have lied," and "are guilty of slander."
"Clayton sent JD Hall $1,000 after JD posted a video saying he had no money to fix his truck. This was a year ago. JD was not investigating any allegations until two months ago. When Clayton sent him the money, he did it to be kind and to help JD even though JD had always been one to make fun of Clayton online. JD then lied and said it was a bribe. Not true," a response from Team Clayton Jennings said via email.
Jennings' team also noted that the only sex he is guilty of is fornication, not adultery.
"Clayton admitted to sex before marriage many times in the past. This is nothing new to those who follow him. Anything outside of sex before marriage is a lie and slander," the team said. "Clayton repented from these things a long time ago. He stepped away from ministry right now to be with his wife. It was his decision to step away and nobody else's."
In a video posted to his Facebook page three weeks ago, Jennings, whose father, Don Jennings is senior pastor of Harbour Shores Church in Cicero, Indiana, admitted to sinning a lot.
"I wish you all didn't have to see me right now here at my lowest, but I wanted you to know this. I've sinned a lot and I could tell you the stories of my past sins but I wouldn't know when to stop. I had sex before marriage and I broke a lot of hearts. But that's not even the worst part. Sometimes it was during seasons of ministry," Jennings confessed.
"I was telling you about selflessness and Jesus but still hadn't come to the end of me. I led some girls on and there were text messages of sex and sin. ... I thought I was just dating but my actions were degrading. All the while my future wife stayed pure praying and waiting, I was a sinner, I was a liar, I let down every single person I admired. But I especially let down my Lord. And this isn't me falling on my own sword, this is me telling you I am flawed, broken and ashamed," he said.
Tony Nolan, who describes himself as a spiritual mentor to Jennings, said he is now fully committed to restoration and is working to mend his relationship with Jesus.
"Recently Clayton came to me with a spirit of humility and repentance over some sins of his past that are still haunting him in his present. In a spirit of accountability, Clayton has agreed to a process of restoration. A part of that is he has discontinued all of his speaking engagements to focus on his marriage, his renewal and his spiritual formation. I'd like to ask you to pray for Clayton Jennings as he draws closer to Jesus and to believe that his best days are ahead," he said.
"I never claimed to be perfect and I never said I was sinless. Presenting you with a fake façade of greatness is never why I got in this. Now that I'm in this sometimes I just want to get out. Everyone wants popularity until you can't get away from the crowd, cause there are mistakes in my past that keep screaming out loud," Jennings said in his apology.
"I hate the mirror and hearing my name, but if I can be an example of being bold then I can be an example of letting my sins be told. I am the chief of sinners and I've come to the end of myself. The only thing that saved me was putting down my pride and picking up the Bible off the shelf. I wanted to find verses where Jesus called me forgiven and new. God kept taking me to verses that showed me how bad my sin was and what he wanted me to do."

Q: Where is the official document of T-SQL abstract syntax tree? I use SqlParser class provided by SqlServer to parse the AST of a sql script,
like I answered in this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34103965/3828013.
its output is a xml document like below. But I have searched a lot, and can not find any related document. Anyone knows can give me the link.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SqlScript Location="((1,1), (92,1))">
  <Errors />
  <SqlBatch Location="((91,3), (92,1))">
    <!--
-->
    <Tokens>
      <Token location="((91,3), (92,1))" id="651" type="LEX_WHITE">\n</Token>
    </Tokens>
  </SqlBatch>
</SqlScript>

A: You can find the SQL Abstract Syntax Trees Vocabulary

Abstract syntax trees allow to build structured representations of
  code for any language with a grammar: AST nodes carrying labels can
  stand for keywords, objects, variables, constants or any language
  element while the tree structure allows to abstract away the
  language's concepts of scope or dependency. ASTs are a
  machine-readable format for concrete syntax code, and can be decorated
  with implicit or contextual knowledge from the grammar. We hereby
  propose to model ASTs with RDF graphs. AST structures naturally fit
  RDF graphs: nodes map resources, node labels map resources' types, and
  grammar knowledge map to vocabulary's semantics, e.g. with
  subsumption.


Few have seen the likes of the beautiful bottle in this image. This is the rare 1919 Guerlain bottle created by Baccarat to a design by Raymond Guerlain for the perfume MITSOUKO (which in Japanese means Mystery). The bottle is made of glass crystal with both stopper and bottle having been issued with matching etched numbers which indicates that a limited number of this designer bottle was produced. The bottle in this picture still contains some of the original perfume and its box is intact, which makes it even more rare.
This marvellous perfume bottle is just one of the 250+ scent and perfume bottles on display in an exhibition called Scent Bottles – From Ceremony to Seduction, presently at Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum, located in the old city of Mdina on the Mediterranean island of Malta.
I was particularly impressed with the beautiful dressing table bottles made out of Murano glass, Cranberry glass, Mary Gregory glass, Bohemian Cut Crystal.... Then were was a perfume bottle designed by Lalique and an exceptional vanity box dating back from the Napolean III period containing perfectly stored bottles and containers made of glass and porcelain.
Scent Bottles – From Ceremony to Seduction will be at Palazzo Falson Historic House Museum, Mdina, until December 31, 2011. Opening - Tuesday to Sunday 10.00 – 16.00 hrs. Admission is free of charge. For more information visit www.palazzofalson.com.

What a beautiful and interesting post!!

Virginia State Corporation Commission Announces Availability of Hearing Examiner's Report on Cunningham-Dooms Proposed Rebuild
As the demand for electricity has steadily grown, Dominion has continued to replace aging infrastructure across their service territory - in particular, they are working to replace high-voltage lines built and placed into service in the 1960s.
One segment to be rebuilt is an existing corridor located between the Cunningham Substation in Fluvanna County and the Dooms Substation in Augusta County which passes through Albemarle County. No new right of way is needed for Dominion's proposal to rebuild this line.
On March 2, 2016, Dominion filed its application with the Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) seeking review and approval. On August 8, 2016 the SCC hosted two public hearings to receive comment on the proposed rebuild. On November 9, 2016, the SCC Hearing Examiner issued his final report and recommendations. In his report, the Hearing Examiner recommends to the Commission, among other things, that there is a need for the project, that Dominion's proposed rebuild project reasonably minimizes impacts, and to issue Dominion a certificate of public convenience and necessity. The case is now before the three SCC Commissioners for review and final order.
For more information or questions about the proposed rebuild, please visit Dominion's Website or email powerline@dom.com.
