Q: Match dates in Linq, C#, SQL I am using the repository pattern to query SQL to get a record based on a date passed in via a web api.  The query string is date=2014-09-16, for example.  When my repository receives this date, the time is automatically set to 12:00:00 since one wasn't passed.  I am only interested in matching the date in the database like this:
public IQueryable<Instance> GetInstances(DateTime date) {
        return DBContext.Instances.Where(x => x.StartDateTime == date).OrderBy(x => x.StartDateTime).AsQueryable();
    }

The problem is that no match is found since the records in the db are not a full match because of the time portion even though records exist for this date.  What is the best way to get a match in the above example?

A: Here are all the default .NET methods EF supports.  Only these are supported.  If you want something else, you have to use these date functions: Entity Framework sqlFunctions, or put your code in a stored procedure or table function (which can be called by the context).

Regulus Announces Preliminary Results of Planned Interim Data Analysis of RGLS4326 in New Mouse Chronic Toxicity Study
No Adverse or Other Significant Findings to Date Across All Dose Groups Tested
Data Package to Be Submitted to FDA to Support Potential Resumption of Phase 1 Clinical Study
LA JOLLA, Calif., Jan. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: RGLS), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines targeting microRNAs, today announced the preliminary results of a planned interim data analysis from the new mouse chronic toxicity study of RGLS4326 in development for the treatment of Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease, or ADPKD.
As previously reported by the Company in July 2018, and in consultation with FDA, the Company voluntarily paused its ongoing Phase 1 Multiple Ascending Dose ("MAD") study of RGLS4326 in healthy volunteers due to unexpected observations in the 27-week mouse chronic toxicity study. The Company terminated that mouse study prematurely at week 14. The study was run in parallel to the Phase 1 program to enable initiation of the Phase 2 program in ADPKD patients upon completion of the Phase 1 MAD study. The observations from the mouse chronic toxicity study were unexpected given the favorable safety profile of RGLS4326 in previous 7-week non-GLP and GLP toxicity studies in both mice and non-human primates required for Phase 1 testing, which had no significant findings across similar dose levels and frequencies. Based upon the Company's investigation and the results announced today, the Company believes the unexpected observations from the previously terminated study were likely a result of technical issues at the contract research organization ("CRO").
In September 2018, the Company announced the initiation of a new 27-week mouse chronic toxicity study, incorporating several changes intended to address the unexpected observations in the previous mouse chronic toxicity study. Certain key changes included the use of a different CRO to conduct the study and the use of a new batch of RGLS4326.
The planned interim analysis of this study after 13 weeks of dosing has shown no adverse or other significant findings across the range of doses tested and is intended to support re-initiation of the Phase 1 MAD study after consultation with FDA. RGLS4326 has also been generally well-tolerated in the Phase 1 Single Ascending Dose ("SAD") and MAD studies in human subjects to date.
The Company plans to submit a comprehensive data package for RGLS4326 to FDA that will include the results from the planned 13-week interim analysis of the ongoing repeat mouse chronic toxicity study, as well as results from additional investigations, analytical testing, additional data from the previously terminated mouse chronic toxicity study, data from the completed Phase 1 SAD study and data from the first cohort of the Phase 1 MAD study. The Company anticipates engagement with FDA in the coming weeks to discuss the resolution of the voluntary pause in human dosing and the plan to resume the Phase 1 MAD study.
"I am proud of the team at Regulus and the data package they have assembled on RGLS4326," said Jay Hagan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regulus. "I am pleased with the investigative work and encouraged by the results of the planned interim analysis from this new mouse chronic toxicity study. We look forward to engaging with FDA to discuss this submission and the potential path forward to resuming the clinical activities for this important program."
About Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease ( ADPKD)
ADPKD, caused by the mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 genes, is among the most common human monogenic disorders and a leading genetic cause of end-stage renal disease. The clinical hallmark of this disease is the development of multiple fluid filled cysts primarily in the kidneys and to a lesser extent in the liver and other organs. Excessive kidney tubule derived cyst cell proliferation, a central pathological feature, fuels the expansion of cysts, ultimately causing end-stage renal disease in approximately 50% of ADPKD patients by age 60. Approximately 1 in 1,000 people bear a mutation in either PKD1 or PKD2 genes worldwide.
RGLS4326 is a novel oligonucleotide designed to inhibit miR-17 and designed to preferentially target the kidney. Preclinical studies with RGLS4326 have demonstrated direct regulation of PKD1 and PKD2 in human ADPKD cyst cells, a reduction in kidney cyst formation, improved kidney weight/body weight ratio, decreased cyst cell proliferation, and preserved kidney function in mouse models of ADPKD.
Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: RGLS) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines targeting microRNAs. Regulus has leveraged its oligonucleotide drug discovery and development expertise to develop a pipeline complemented by a rich intellectual property estate in the microRNA field.

Attenborough Learning Trust is a planned multi-academy trust that will take six of Leicester's primary schools out of the democratic control of the local authority, these being Highfields Primary School, Uplands Infant School, Sparkenhoe Community Primary School, Shenton Primary School, Green Lane Infant School, and Medway Community Primary School.
This is the primary reason why Leicester as a local authority has opposed academy conversions.
"We heard from numerous sources that the means by which local communities can hold their trust to account is less clear than in maintained school structures … We were told by parents that MATs are not sufficiently accountable to their local community and they feel disconnected from decision making at trustee board level".

Q: What's wrong with my level 13 solution? ( "stick to left side" implementation attempt) So I'm struggling with Untrusted as a (super fun!) homework. I got stuck at level 13, after 2 hours I glanced at the other topic about it and tried to implement the "stick to the left side" method, but it doesn't seem to work.
Could you guys tell me what's wrong? There might be some pretty fundamental mistakes as my first encounter with JavaScript was on Tuesday.
var direction;

if ( me.getX() == 1 & me.getY() == 1 ){

    if ( me.canMove('right') )
        direction = 0;
    else
        direction = 1;
}

moveRobot( direction );
direction = getDirection();

function moveRobot( direction ) {

    if ( me.canMove( getDirectionName( direction ) ) ){
        me.move( getDirectionName( direction ) ) ;
    }
    else if ( !me.canMove( getDirectionName( direction ) )
    & me.canMove( getDirectionName( (direction + 1) % 4) ) ){
            me.move( getDirectionName( (direction + 1) % 4) );
            direction = (direction + 1) % 4;
    }
    else {
        me.move( getDirectionName( (direction + 2) % 4) );
        direction = (direction + 2) % 4;
    }

}

function getDirection( ){

    if ( me.canMove( getDirectionName( direction ) ) ){
        return direction;
    }
    else if ( !me.canMove( getDirectionName( direction ) )
    & me.canMove( getDirectionName( (direction + 1) % 4) ) ){
        return (direction + 1) % 4;
    }
    else
        return (direction + 2) % 4;
}

function getDirectionName( direction ){

    if ( direction == 0 )
        return 'right';
    else if ( direction == 1 )
        return 'down';
    else if ( direction == 2 )
        return 'left';
    else
        return 'up';
}

A: 1. I think a stick to left side implementation of this problim is not possible. If you want to stick to the left side you have to know where the left side is. So yout have to know what the direction of your last move was. Since the variables of the function

'behavior': function (me) {...}

"reset" every time the function gets called, this is not easy to implement.
EDIT: See comment section.
2. You are only setting the value of direction when x = 1 and y = 1 so it only deos something if those coords are right. Since the robot moves the coords change.

if ( me.getX() == 1 & me.getY() == 1 ){
if ( me.canMove('right') )
    direction = 0;
else
    direction = 1; }

Else direction is unset and nothing will work.
You would change it to the following:

moveRobot( direction );
  direction = getDirection();

Note:
If you cannot solve a level, don't search for the answers of others, because you will lose the fun of that game. If necessary cheat through and solve the level later:

 1. Open console (F12)
 2. Enter: "localStorage.levelReached = LEVEL_NUMBER"
 3. Reload page

Broncos interim coach Jerry Rosburg endorses…
Broncos interim coach Jerry Rosburg endorses Jim Harbaugh: "A fabulous football coach"
Rosburg worked for over a decade on John Harbaugh's staff in Baltimore
KANSAS CITY, MO – JANUARY 1: Interim head coach Jerry Rosburg of the Denver Broncos prepares for action before the first quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs at GEHA at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday, January 1, 2023. (Photo by AAron Ontiveroz/The Denver Post)
By Kyle Newman | knewman@denverpost.com and Parker Gabriel | pgabriel@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: January 6, 2023 at 3:45 p.m. | UPDATED: January 6, 2023 at 4:56 p.m.
With Jim Harbaugh's name swirling in NFL circles, count Jerry Rosburg as one who believes the Broncos would be wise to consider Michigan's man as their new head coach.
The Broncos interim head coach lauded Harbaugh on Friday in Dove Valley, with Rosburg calling Harbaugh "a fabulous football coach."
"I watched him as a player and I admired him greatly as a player because he's so competitive and the fire he has just comes naturally to him because he's been involved in football his whole life," Rosburg said. "His father has the same fire in his belly, as does his brother John. That's followed through with his coaching career, seeing the success he's had at every level (of NFL and college)."
The Rosburgs and the Harbaughs are family friends — "we're the Harburgs the Rosbaughs, that's how close we are, depends on who's saying it," Rosburg quipped — and Rosburg worked for over a decade on John's staff in Baltimore, including serving as associate head coach for his "best friend."
While Jim Harbaugh reiterated his intention this week to remain at Michigan next season, reports have already linked him to conversations with the Panthers, and it's logical to believe the Broncos and Colts (who also have an interim coach) could also come calling.
Bailey settled at LG. Quinn Bailey went from the practice squad to playing right tackle in Week 10 against Tennessee. That outing was rough for him and for the Broncos in general, but it helped set him up for a better performance when he stepped into the lineup midway through Sunday's game against Kansas City for left guard Dalton Risner.
"It helps a lot because you just get used to being out there," Bailey said. "It's hard when you're on (scout) team because you're looking at cards and not getting huddle calls. So it's nice to get in there and get huddle calls again."
With Risner out of the finale due to an elbow injury, Bailey is set to make his first NFL start on Sunday between left tackle Cam Fleming and center Graham Glasgow.
"It's just kind of the nature of the position," he said. "You've got to be ready to fill in where you're needed."
Hamlin to be honored. NFL teams across the country this weekend will honor Bills safety Damar Hamlin before their Week 18 games. Hamlin's made progress in recovering from suffering cardiac arrest on the field in Cincinnati but as of Friday afternoon remains hospitalized.
Teams have the option of painting the "3s" on their 30-yard lines in Bills colors, wearing pre-game shirts that say "Love for Damar 3," and having their public address announcer read a statement of support for Hamlin and for first responders before the game.
Injury statuses. Tight end Eric Saubert, cornerback Damarri Mathis, outside linebacker Jonathan Kongbo, tight end Eric Tomlinson and right tackle Billy Turner are all questionable for Sunday's season finale. Defensive lineman D.J. Jones (knee), left tackle Calvin Anderson (ankle) and receiver/returner Kendall Hinton (chest/foot) are out.

"Classic" redirects here. For the format, see Classic (format).
Sixth Edition (6th Edition), also known as Classic, is a Magic Core Set that was released in April 1999. Major rule changes occurred with the release of 6th Edition.
Classic Sixth Edition contained a total of only 350 cards, compared to the 449 of Fifth Edition (110 Common, 110 Uncommon, 110 Rare, 20 Basic Land). The set for the first time added reprints from Alliances, Mirage, Visions and Weatherlight to the mix. It was the first English-language core set to have an expansion symbol (Roman numeral VI), color-coded for rarity. It also used the collector numbers first introduced in Exodus. Furthermore, it was the first core set to have its artist information centered on the card (a printing practice also started in Exodus). The rules text on basic lands was replaced with just a mana symbol, as previously seen featured in the Portal sets of 1997 and 1998. No cards with trample were printed in Sixth Edition.
The Sixth Edition rules were the largest rules change the game had ever seen. R&D and the top rules experts knew there had been problems with the rules for years. They also knew they were needlessly complicated. A lot of excess complication had been removed in earlier versions of the rules, but it wasn't deemed enough. The aim of the current rules change was to reduce the amount of rules, maintain Magic strategy, and make the rules more intuitive. The developers also wanted to fix the rules problem once and for all. They didn't want to revamp Magic rules ever again. When the Classic (Sixth Edition) rules were introduced, they were highly debated. Some players thought them to be further proof that the rules were being "dumbed down".
A player who reached 0 life now lost immediately instead of waiting until the end of a phase.
The stack was introduced for resolving spells and abilities, replacing the old batch system.
Interrupts and mana sources were removed, with all old interrupt and mana source cards receiving errata to make them instants.
The word "summon" was replaced with "creature" on creature card type lines.
Most tapped artifacts no longer had their abilities turned off. Those that still had their abilities turned off received errata so that it was an ability of the card rather than a feature of the card type.
Tapped blocking creatures now dealt combat damage just like untapped ones.
The type line on creature cards was changed so that each word on it counted as a separate creature type, allowing creature cards to have multiple subtypes without needing extra rules text. Artifact creatures with creature types also had their creature type printed on their type line, rather than having it stated in their rules text.
The name "Classic" was prominently featured on products, and the set was referred to by both titles by Wizards of the Coast as well as the players. Classic Sixth Edition cards were sold in 15-card boosters, and - as the first core set - in 75 card tournament decks (including 3 rares, 10 uncommon, 32 common, 30 land, and a rule sheet). The set was supplemented with a special 2-Player Starter Set. The Sixth Edition 2-Player Starter Deck included two 40-card, ready to play decks, a play guide and a rulebook. The Classic set featured only one piece of art on the boosters, which was notable for not being featured on any card. The accompanying Official Classic Game Strategy Guide provided strategy tips and an overview of the new rules.
In order to comply to strict regulations from the Chinese government concerning the depiction of skeletons, an altered version of Unworthy Dead from Urza's Saga was reused for the Chinese Sixth Edition Drudge Skeletons.
Diamonds: Each diamond artifact costs to play; comes into play tapped; and produces one mana of the appropriate color when tapped — Charcoal Diamond, Fire Diamond, Marble Diamond, Moss Diamond, and Sky Diamond. They were originally printed in Mirage, then reprinted again in 7th Edition.
Fallen Empires Sac lands: Uncommon lands illustrated by Mark Poole that share the text "[This] comes into play tapped. : Add M to your mana pool. , sacrifice [this]: Add MM to your mana pool.", where M is the respective color of the land — Ruins of Trokair, Svyelunite Temple, Ebon Stronghold, Dwarven Ruins, and Havenwood Battleground.
Painlands: Rare dual lands with " : add to your mana pool. : Add M or N to your mana pool. [This] deals 1 damage to you." M and N are allied colors of mana. These lands are called painlands because their use for colored mana is "painful," referring to the damage they do to you. — Adarkar Wastes, Brushland, Underground River, Sulfurous Springs, and Karplusan Forest.
Sixth Edition was the first core set not to have the mirrored pair of Holy Strength and Unholy Strength. The pair returned in 7th Edition and was in every core set until Magic 2012, which replaced it with a similar mirrored pair: Divine Favor and Dark Favor.
Urzatron was removed from the core set to make a comeback in 8th Edition.

Ali is the owner and founder of The Walking Hub. A nurse by profession, British by birth, but having lived in the USA for the last 30 years, she has chosen to come home and make walking her life. She adores Kington, the surrounding hills and paths and enjoys being around others who share her passion.
The Walking Hub is proud to call Kington 'home' and is aptly located in the centre of its historic high street. Barely in England but not quite in Wales, situated on the border and to the west of Offa's Dyke it was probably once Welsh, but Kington is now Herefordhsire's smallest and most westerly market town. It was once a thriving wool trading town on a busy drovers route, their legacy left as a network of paths that weave through, start or finish here. Offa's Dyke National trail winds its way over Hergest ridge (made famous by Mike Oldfield of Tubular Bells fame) into Kington before setting off again up Bradnor Hill towards Knighton. It's not suprising that Kington has called itself "A Centre for Walking".
Kington is yet to be discovered and has remained wonderfully traditional, a hidden gem amongst Herefordshire's apple orchards and a gateway to the mystical hills of Wales.
Kington has been a Walkers are Welcome town since 2011. Walkers are Welcome is a U.K. wide, community led network of accredited towns whose purpose is to develop and promote walking in areas with something different to offer.


Say goodbye to overgrown grass. We make sure to lay down stripes with weekly visits and always clean up after ourselves. Enjoy a well-manicured lawn, our service includes trimming around all obstacles and edging around all paved surfaces. It is also important to note that if you want a healthy lawn, Turf Grass does best when cut at the proper height and frequency. Mowing correctly improves drought tolerance, density, as well as reduces weed germination and thatch buildup.
Having a commercial applicator applying the right treatments at the right timing is very important. We can help with making sure your lawn is fed the nutrients it needs to grow greener grass and keep those pesky weeds from showing up and taking over your turf. Our standard plan is a great option for most and is comprised of six treatments. Each Treatment has a different purpose and is applied at the correct time of year so it benefits your lawn the most. Our standard plan focuses on eliminating the competition and improving the health of the desired turfgrass This is done through Pre & Post Emergent Weed Control, Grub Control, Instant, and Slow Release Fertilizers as well as Organic. For more specific details on our treatment plan please contact us. Together we can keep an eye on progress and if more is needed we can always amp up the treatment plan.
Annual core aeration & over seeding are an important part of the maintenance schedule.
One of the most important things you can do for your lawn is annual aeration. There are two ideal times to aerate, spring and fall. Aeration is essential for reducing compaction and thatch build up, allowing for minerals, water, & oxygen to be more readily absorbed, in turn producing a stronger root system, and thus over time contributing to a healthier turf. If you want to go the extra mile, have high amounts of traffic, or a lawn that has been neglected, you may opt to aerate both spring and fall.
Another important part of maintenance, over-seeding can improve your lawn density. Also by introducing new seedlings into your existing turf, over seeding enhances the ability of your lawn to withstand stress and fight disease and insects. Soil to seed contact can be created by pairing over seeding with a fall aeration and is a highly recommended combination.
This process greatly increases germination rates by actually tilling or sowing the seed into the soil, essentially planting the grass seed in rows like crops. This process requires a special piece of machinery and is great for repairing a lawn that has thin or completely bare areas.
If your lawn is really suffering and completely re sodding is out of the budget, a plan can be made from combining the above services into an appropriate order.. Call today for a free estimate.

Ludworth Primary - Busy Spring Term So Far!
Ludworth Primary children have enjoyed a variety of exciting experiences since returning to school after Christmas. Including some very important work with the NSPCC to help children to keep themselves safe.
The NSPCC led age appropriate assemblies for all children from Reception up to Year 6. They were delivering their 'Speak Out, Stay Safe' programme where they help children to understand how they can keep themselves safe from harm and where they can get help if they need to. In addition to the assemblies, Years 5 and 6 developed their understanding further through a workshop that lasted a whole afternoon.
Y5 and 6 have worked on a fantastic project assisted by Peter Sagar: a local expert on the cultural heritage of fomer mining communities. This included exploring some of the history around Ludworth Pit, 'Pitmatic' language and songs written and performed by pitman musicians. The children wrote their own plays using pitmatic vocabulary, they wrote their own songs and made presentations of famous pitman musicians and the history of Ludworth. They then put all of this together and performed a lovely assembly for the rest of the school and some of their parents. We are hoping to extend this project to work with Thornley Primary School and to put together a performance for the wider community.
The 28th January was a particularly exciting day! All children had the opportunity to work with a specialist Judo teacher to develop their Judo skills. It looked (and sounded!) like they were having a wonderful time!
Also on 28th January, we were lucky enough to be able to welcome Image Theatre once again for our annual, interactive performance. This year it was Oscar Wilde's 'The Selfish Giant' and the children enjoyed it enormously! All children are taught some of the songs so they are able to join in and some children get to dress up and take part in the play.

This paper addresses how formative assessment can support secondary students' self-regulated learning in English language learning. Self-regulated learning is essential for lifelong learning because it allows students to construct knowledge by identifying their learning goals, self-managing their learning process and self-evaluating their performance against goals. Although a consensus can be found in the literature that formative assessment has significant potential for supporting self-regulated learning among students, how such potential can be afforded through teachers' practices of formative assessment in English language classrooms remains under-explored. In this paper, findings from classroom observations and interviews with two teachers and 16 students in a foreign language secondary school are reported. The findings reveal that under the guidance of their teachers, the participants engaged in formative assessment in a proactive manner and appeared to be emerging as self-regulated learners. The students perceived the classroom formative assessment activities that they experienced and the feedback they received to be helpful in the development of their deep understanding and capability for self-regulation in English language learning.

The supreme monetary authority in Swaziland. Among other things, it manages the country's foreign exchange and issues government securities to Swazi banks. It was established in 1974.
At the Swaziland Economic Conference (SEC 2017), the governor of the Central Bank of Swaziland, Majozi Sithole, said that the apex bank had been conducting research on the currency.
In the context of the peg to the South African rand, in early 2017 the Central Bank of Swaziland raised its policy rate above South African Reserve Bank's rate.
The Central Bank of Swaziland wishes to remind members of the general public that the old coin series (dated 2013 backwards) of the 10c, 20c, 50c, El, E2 and E5 denominations shall cease to be used as a medium of exchange in the Kingdom of Swaziland effective 1st September 2016 and these have been replaced by the new series of the same denominations dated 2015.
Majozi Sithole has been appointed as the new Governor for the Central Bank of Swaziland after serving for 13 years as Minister of Finance.
Last week, Central Bank of Swaziland (CBS) Governor Martin Dlamini said future inflation prospects indicated that the downward trend in food inflation which has been the major driver to overall inflation in the country, due to its greater weight in the basket, was expected to continue in the medium term.
The rand's strength contributed to a plunge in net foreign assets, and poses a threat to the country's exports in terms of loss of competitiveness," says the Central Bank of Swaziland.
79 million) will be provided in 1994, as well as from the Central Bank of Swaziland, with an input of E0.
The government and the Central Bank of Swaziland have taken some steps to contain the fiscal deficit and counter the still high inflation.
The Central Bank of Swaziland (CBS) on Tuesday has carried out the opening of a US$10.
As a measure to stimulate demand, the Central Bank of Swaziland has, this week, reduced its discount rate by half a percent.
The Central bank of Swaziland said the nation s debt is valued at $568.

The events of July 1914 did more to shape the modern world than any others. Several dozen men from a handful of countries, brought about World War One.
The results of this war include: the collapse of the Russian Empire and the formation of the Soviet Union; the rise to world power of the United States; the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire, the abolition of the Caliphate, and the foundation of the modern Middle East, whose problems we read about daily; and the formation of five new European nation states one of which collapsed in bloody civil war as recently as 1991.
All this, and the deaths of nine million soldiers and at least six million civilians.
It also produced the Versailles Treaty which laid the entire blame for the war on Germany and created conditions there which led to the rise of the Nazis and eventually World War Two, and 60 million more dead.
Which country or countries is to blame, or most to blame, is still debated today, a 100 years later. This site uses the web to present those events and the men involved in a new way, which may not conclude the debate, but will make clearer what happened.
The central feature of this website is the Timeline. We believe it is the most detailed available.
The Main Timeline covers 485 critical events (decisions, statements, messages, meetings, and actions) involving 50 or so politicians, military leaders, and diplomats, in Austria-Hungary, Germany, Serbia, Russia, Britain, France and Belgium from the 29th June to the 4th August 1914.
The Timeline concentrates on the immediate causes of the war.
Most books about the origins of World War One examine the underlying or long term causes; the rival alliances*, the armaments race, domestic issues, cultural trends, and overseas and economic competition, even if they have a chapter on the July Crisis.
This is not to say that underlying causes are more important than immediate causes. One type of cause works with the other. If there are no immediate causes the underlying or long term causes don't cause anything, they remain potential causes of trouble that may change or eventually fade away as has happened many times in history!
Equally, a political misjudgement, a foolhardy decision, might not have such disastrous consequences without there being a larger issue.
We think the immediate causes bring out more clearly the human factors; ignorance, incompetence, miscalculation, and even bad organisation. And, these were greatly present in July 1914.
And, paradoxically, the Timeline with its concentration on immediate causes is a useful tool for a better understanding of long term causes. It draws attention to the occasions when the underlying causes were at their greatest relevance.
Why were the Austro-Hungarians so overwhelmingly and so quickly in favour of attacking and dismembering Serbia? What were the German leaders hoping for when they gave their unqualified support to Austria-Hungary on the 5 July? Why on the 24/25 July was Russia so quick to take military steps? Why did the French support them? Did the British really have to delay until the 2 August when Belgium was threatened to make up their mind?
Many of the [More] links go into these issues.

draft = false
title = "Stardog 3.0: High Availability Cluster"
author = "Stardog Engineering Team"
discourseUsername = "mike"
+++

One of the most anticipated new features in Stardog 3.0 is the High Availability
(HA) Cluster. <!--more--> Any service that runs as a single instance on a single
machine is at risk of failure. While the service is down, applications that
depend upon it are likely to be down as well. Clustered versions of critical
services resolve the issue by running multiple copies of the service. If one
instance is down, another one will pick up the slack. This is a crucial property
for the reliability of an org's core infrastructure.

Addressing this scenario is easy in principle, but difficult in
practice. Coordinating consistent data states across distributed instances of a
service is difficult to do efficiently and correctly. The rise of Big Data and
NoSQL systems has allowed database administrators to make tradeoffs to favor
efficiency of reads vs writes or whether to maintain absolute consistency across
a clustered system. The choices they make depend upon the system properties they
require. The shape of their data will also constrain which options make
sense. Stardog excels at richly interlinked graphs, so that influenced how we
designed its clustered architecture.

**Learn more about setting up your own clustered instances of Stardog
[here](<http://docs.stardog.com/#_high_availability_cluster>). If you haven't
done so already, go ahead and
[download Stardog now](<http://stardog.com/#download>).**

{{% figure src="/img/rd1.jpg" class="inliner" %}}

## Goals

We chose to favor high availability and improved read throughput and
reasoning. This approach gives a consistent view of the data across the
cluster. The more nodes in the cluster you have available, the less susceptible
you are to outages problems and the more read queries you can run per
second. Any node can respond to a query and reasoning results will be the same
everywhere.

The need to maintain consistency across the cluster has implications on the
speed of writes to the backend. A single server node cannot be responsible for
accepting a write from a client. Were it to face a failure, no other node would
see the change and the cluster would be in an inconsistent state. To solve this
problem, the Stardog cluster uses a two-phase commit protocol to make sure that
every node has received a copy of the write.

## Architecture

Building this kind of infrastructure from scratch is hard. So we based our
implementation, in part, on the
[Apache Zookeeper](<http://zookeeper.apache.org>) project. This is a widely-used
and battle-tested distributed coordination framework. It provides many of the
features we needed to let the individual nodes communicate robustly. Zookeeper
is currently used in production at companies like Rackspace, Yahoo!, eBay and
Pinterest to enable a variety of distributed systems and policies.

### Coordinator Node

A Stardog cluster involves a Coordinator to handle writes and Participant
instances to respond to read-only queries. To maintain HA guarantees, a Stardog
HA Cluster requires at least three nodes. While it is possible to run a cluster
on a single machine for development or testing purposes, that would ultimately
defeat the goal of resisting hardware failure.

{{% figure src="/img/rd2.jpg" class="inliner" %}}

### Participant Nodes

Each Stardog instance is configured to participate in the cluster and runs a
proxy for the service that communicates with the Zookeeper
infrastructure. (Stardog can also use an existing Zookeeper service.) Reads are
spread out across all of the Participant nodes to distribute the load. With more
than one server instance available to respond to queries, the cluster can answer
more queries than a single instance would be able to in the same timeframe.

## Simple Configuration

The benefits of a transparently failsafe server environment would be undermined
if all of the clients had to keep track of the individual server nodes and talk
to them directly. As new instances were started to respond to increased load, we
would have to have a way of alerting all of the clients about their presence. As
nodes were shutdown, we would have to let the clients know not to rely on them
any more. A distributed system should appear to external observers, i.e.,
clients in most ways as indistinguishable from a single-machine system.

{{% figure src="/img/rd3.jpg" class="inliner" %}}

To avoid this extra complexity, we rely on a Domain Name Service (DNS)
configuration that allows a single server instance to be associated with
multiple instances of the server. The clients only depend upon the stable server
name and port configuration.

With an HA Cluster in place, your apps can communicate with Stardog as if it
were a single instance while getting the benefit of a clustered environment.
Users benefit from reliability and from being able to scale up their Stardog
infrastructure incrementally in response to increased load demands.

Republican Proposed American Health Care Act - Keller Benefit Services, Inc.
Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have released the American Health Care Act, a bill which seeks to "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The primary House committees with jurisdiction over health care finished deliberating the bill on Thursday, March 9th. The bill now proceeds to the Budget Committee for additional review starting on Wednesday, March 15th. When the committees are done making changes, the bill will go to the House floor for continued debate and potential changes before the House votes. If the bill passes the House, it will proceed to the Senate.
In its current state, the bill eliminates the individual mandate to have health insurance and the employer mandate to offer health insurance. There are also numerous other provisions, including adjustments to the individual market premium rating ratios and Marketplace tax credits. It is important to note that non-budget items, such as employer reporting responsibilities, cannot be addressed through this budget reconciliation bill. Significant changes to this proposed bill are expected.
Click here to download the text of the proposed American Health Care Act. An overview of the proposed legislation is available, as well as section-by-section summaries from the House Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees.
Until this legislation, or any other proposed ACA "repeal and replace" legislation, is passed by the House and Senate and signed into law by the President, ALL existing ACA requirements remain in effect, including reporting and penalties for noncompliance.
If you have questions on how to comply with the ACA, please contact your Keller account team.

"Does the child support program make money? No…"
Does the child support program "make money" for either the federal government or the states? The answer to this question, simply put, is no. Like most other social programs, the child support system provides to families a service that upholds a strong value-system of parents providing for their children, but does so at a direct high cost.[1] Table 2.4 [below] demonstrates that the program has never earned more than it has expended at the federal level. However, in the aggregate, the states earned more than they expended through 1999. After this point, the states started losing money, with an aggregate loss of $8 7 million in 2000. By 2002, the federal government was losing approximately $2.3 billion and the states were losing a total of $463 million. This change in fortunes primarily has to do with the major transition in the composition of the caseload over the past several decades. States were able to retain most of what they collected when the program was dominated by welfare cases. However, as non-welfare applicants increased, the states were legally bound to collect support on their behalf but could not keep these payments for cost reimbursement purposes.[2] Monies had to go directly to the families on behalf of whom they were collected.[3]
Crowley, Jocelyn Elise. 2008. Defiant Dads: Fathers' Rights Activists in America. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press. [Excerpt and table from pages 25 and 27. Footnotes reproduced below.]
[1] Of course, these costs might be mitigated in the long run if the program prevents families from experiencing the devastating and multifaceted effects of economic hardship.
[2] States do, however, routinely charge families small fees for processing their child support cases.
[3] Recent research, however, has indicated that the poorest fathers, specifically those attached to mothers resistant to exiting welfare, have difficulty paying their current obligations. This reality has always limited the state from maximizing its collection capacity among this population.

Q: Are there any ETL tools that integrate with Rails models? I'm researching ETL tools to import flat files into a database and subsequently export xml files.
Many of the tools support generating code to use in your application; however, I haven't found any that support using code already in your application. Our model is complex (relationships, validations, polymorphic associations, callbacks, etc.).
What tools are available that will allow reuse of existing code? Or am I stuck recreating (and maintaining) my model in the ETL tool?
Note: My requirements for an ETL (as opposed to bulk inserts or activerecord-import) are the transformations. We receive data from over 200 different sources in a variety of formats, level of completeness, and cleanliness. Also, the "designer" most include is more realistic for the less-technical users who will be defining the transformations.

A: ActiveWarehouse might prove useful. Initial search results make the project feel a bit old and defunct. A little digging yielded a fairly active, well documented branch of the project on GitHub: https://github.com/activewarehouse/activewarehouse-etl

A: Write your own. ETL is a very simple process, ruby provides enough reflection support to handle this with some simple code. ETL Tools are not really helpful here, just generate dotty files to show the data sources, flows and transformations.
I've done the same in smalltalk for a data conversion. There I've used glamour and mondrian from the MOOSE reengineering toolsuite to provide more visibility.

A: Modularize, you want the Rails app and the ETL to ask about the meaning of 'HND' from the same place.  Setup an API for that.


It's amazing what you can find out about a person with a couple of simple questions. This can be both fun and important when meeting someone new and a couple of years ago two questions popped into my head that I've been asking people ever since. My questions aren't all that original, but I love them all the same.
Sometimes in interviews you get asked questions like, "if you were a fruit, what fruit would you be". While it can be fun to watch people squirm over abstract questions like that, I'm not convinced that they tell you much about a person. All you really find out is how comfortable they are with abstractions, maybe it's useful when interviewing someone for a management role but not useful in getting to know them.
I like questions that can start conversations. If someone tells me that they'd be an apple, what am I going to ask them after that? No matter what the follow-up question is, it would take a very special person to turn that into an interesting conversation. So asking someone what type of fruit they'd be almost feels like you're setting them up to fail.
In general I don't think it matters what question(s) you ask a person, as long as those questions can start a conversation. My two favorite questions are, "where would you go if time and money weren't factors?" and "what would you learn if time and ability wasn't an issue?". I love these questions because the answers I get are so insightful.
These questions can tell you so much about a person because there is more to the answer than the answer itself. If someone replies, "I don't know" to either of these questions you can probably assume that they aren't dreamers or maybe that they are very shy. I'd suggest ending the conversation if they reply with, "I've already been everywhere and know everything".
You can also get insights on someone's past with these two questions. If they reply very quickly and with great detail it's likely that the person really loves to travel and always has ideas for trips. What does it tell you about a person if they answered with the Egyptian pyramids (maybe a history fan), Darfur (could be a caring person), the Moon (trail blazer) or the Jedi Temple from Star Wars (might not be grounded in reality)?
The answers for what you'd learn are especially interesting, simply because time is more of a restriction than ability. However, some people don't recognize this which makes me wonder how confident they are in themselves. Also, from what I can tell most people would choose to learn something in a totally different area than their day to day life. This is very interesting but not all that surprising when you think about it.
The nice thing about these questions is that there is absolutely no wrong answers, only insightful answers. Maybe we'll both discover that we have a lot in common, maybe our own dreams will even be expanded or maybe we'll both realize that we're not likely to get along. These are all fantastic outcomes in my mind.
So if I haven't asked you these questions yet, you've got time to think up some answers. Even better yet, surprise me with some questions of your own and we're sure to have a great conversation.

Access, Cost and Awareness Among the Barriers to Screening Mammography
Patients continue to be affected by perpetual barriers to mammography
BY MARY HENDERSON October 17, 2022
Slanetz
Freimanis
Despite the increased use of screening mammography over the past 30 years, it remains underutilized. It is estimated that only half of eligible women in the U.S. get the exam despite evidence that screening mammography reduces breast cancer mortality.
"The barriers to screening mammography are complex and multifactorial," said Eric Kim, MD, clinical assistant professor, Department of Radiology, NYU Grossman School of Medicine. "Screening can only be effective if the eligible population is able to get screened."
Among the many obstacles that deter women from obtaining the screening exam are access issues, direct and indirect costs, conflicting guidelines and a lack of awareness.
Access and Uptake Depends on Where Patients Live
In his 2019 Radiology study analyzing the 500 largest cities in the U.S., Dr. Kim reported that the highest use of screening mammography occurred in coastal cities and the lowest use occurred in the mountain states. Studies have also shown that women in rural areas have lower screening rates compared with women in urban areas.
"Our study demonstrated disparities in screening mammography use at the city level, irrespective of city size, throughout the United States," Dr. Kim said. "Utilization was positively correlated with median household income and having private insurance and negatively correlated with a lack of health insurance and poverty."
Disparities also exist in access to and use of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) across the country. DBT has been shown to increase cancer detection rates and lower recall rates compared to digital (2D) mammography. Although 45% of the country's accredited mammography units are DBT capable, they are more likely to be found in more affluent areas of the country.
A 2021 Radiology: Imaging Cancer review of more than two million screening exams in 92 geo-diverse centers found that overall rates of DBT use were lower among women who were black, Hispanic, or Asian; had lower educational attainment and lived in zip codes with lower median incomes.
Consider this case in point: When Amy K. Patel, MD, joined Missouri's Liberty Hospital as a radiologist with Alliance Radiology, P.A., in 2018, only two of the practice's eight partnering facilities offered DBT. By August of 2021, all sites were providing DBT.
"We worked hard to make sure all women had the same access to this technology," said Dr. Patel, who serves as medical director of The Breast Care Center at Liberty Hospital, which serves urban, suburban and rural populations. "We tailored a strategic plan for each of the individual facilities to raise funds through grant writing and working with city councils, hospital leadership and medical imaging vendors."
Access to screening mammography remains an issue for some of the rural residents living in the practice's expansive service area. Dr. Patel said women in 19 counties of Northwest Missouri have to travel more than 45 minutes one way to reach an accredited breast imaging center.
"There are still counties we're not yet reaching, so it's important we look at all avenues to serve these patients, from boots-on-the-ground advocacy to mobile mammography, she said. "It's so imperative to address these access issues."
Watch Dr. Kim discuss the multifactorial challenges preventing women from seeking mammography:
Cost Is Always A Factor For Patients
The Affordable Care Act mandates that insurance plans cover the cost of an annual screening mammogram for women 40 and older with no out-of-pocket costs. But for women who are called back for additional imaging following their screening exam—about 10% of the population—there is no mandated coverage.
Priscilla Slanetz, MD, MPH, professor of radiology and interim section chief of breast imaging at Boston University School of Medicine has seen these out-of-pocket costs for follow-up diagnostic imaging deter women from getting a screening mammogram.
In an unpublished study conducted at Boston Medical Center, 21% of women reported that they would not return for the workup from an abnormal screening exam if they knew they would have to pay for the diagnostic imaging and 18% said they would not undergo screening mammography if it involved any kind of out-of-pocket expense.
"For vulnerable populations, cost is always in the back of their mind, even if they are insured," Dr. Slanetz said. "They don't understand what's covered, what service will require a co-pay, what will be applied toward their deductible, or for what portion of the bill they'll ultimately be responsible."
To remove this barrier, Dr. Slanetz helped craft a bill that's been before the Massachusetts state legislature for the last three sessions asking for first-dollar coverage of all breast imaging studies, including the diagnostic imaging generated from an abnormal screening exam.
"We can't afford to have any women skip screening if we truly want to save lives," she said.
Screening mammography also carries myriad indirect costs, from missed work to transportation and childcare needs.
"For under-resourced patients, it may be hard to get away during the day for a screening appointment, find a ride to the hospital or money for transportation," said Rita Freimanis, MD, professor of radiology at University of California, San Francisco. "COVID had an outsized effect on the patients at San Francisco General, because they didn't want to be close to others on public transportation."
Conflicting Guidelines Confuse Patients
Breast imaging specialists agree that every woman at average risk for breast cancers should have an annual screening mammogram beginning at the age of 40 years (or earlier, for women at increased risk). However, not all health organizations agree on how often a woman should be screened or at what age she should begin screening. These conflicting guidelines on screening mammography have affected patients' participation.
Dr. Slanetz said the data supports annual screening.
"Multiple studies have already shown that regular mammography reduces breast cancer mortality by approximately 30%, with more recent studies suggesting that it may be as high as 45%," she said.
In 2016, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) issued a recommendation for biennial screening for women beginning at age 50 years. Though never formally adopted by the federal government, these recommendations have caused confusion among women and health care providers. (The USPSTF is currently reviewing the guidelines published in 2016.)
"There's a lot of confusion among women as to when they should start screening because of the different recommendations," Dr. Patel said. "But now many societies are in alignment including RSNA, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, American College of Radiology, Society of Breast Imaging, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecology and the American Society of Breast Surgeons. We just have to get the others on board."
Watch Dr. Slanetz discuss the importance of mammogram:
Imaging specialists are working to make sure health care organizations, referring providers, legislative bodies and patients understand the importance of having annual mammograms.
"We spend a lot of time working with local health departments creating educational materials, giving talks, doing radio interviews and hosting events," Dr. Patel said. "We also keep our referring providers up-to-date with the latest recommendations because many patients will do whatever their primary care doctor tells them to do."
Educating patients who are not fluent in English is another barrier to utilization. Dr. Slanetz said they have worked hard for years to create an environment where all patients feel welcome at Boston Medical Center. Their efforts include a robust iPad-based system that can communicate with patients in more than 250 languages, and communication by mail and electronically in a patient's preferred language.
Health care providers must also help some patients overcome historical mistrust of medicine and fear of the exam and its results.
"We need to reach people where they are," Dr. Slanetz stated. "We need to recognize a patient's barrier to care, whether it be the preferred site for imaging, language or just ensuring that they feel comfortable seeking out care."
She said more work is needed to identify the specific barriers for patients and to understand how patients' different cultures and backgrounds may influence their decisions about their care.
"If we want to make a difference, we need to do more research," Dr. Slanetz said. "Radiologists need to ask themselves, 'where can I intervene?'"

AIMIM's key Bengal leader, other members join TMC
Vasudha Venugopal
, ET Bureau Last Updated: Nov 25, 2020, 06:38 AM IST
After AIMIM's victory in five assembly seats in Bihar, it's chief Asaduddin Owaisi had said that he would soon take a decision on contesting the West Bengal polls.
Ruling party Trinamool Congress has claimed that more than 30 AIMIM members have joined TMC
West Bengal's ruling party Trinamool Congress has claimed that more than 25 AIMIM members, including Syed Ahmed Pasha, a well-known face of the party in the state, have joined Team Mamata. But Team Owaisi has emphatically rejected the report.
When contacted, Pasha told ET on Tuesday: "What happened in Bihar scared us. I won't call the AIMIM a vote-cutter but what the party did definitely benefited BJP. To counter Hindutva politics one cannot permit any kind of polarisation, which is what happened in Bihar. For the physical safety of the community, it is important that Trinamool comes back to power. The CM (Mamata Banerjee) has been doing a lot for us."
The AIMIM recently won five assembly seats in the Seemanchal region of Bihar and had announced that it will take a decision of contesting the West Bengal soon.
Pasha was in police custody for 60 days before the lockdown was announced for participating in anti-CAA protests. He said workers from MIM from 18 districts such as Malda, Dinajpur, Murshidabad, north and south 24 Parganas, Hooghly and Midnapore had joined the TMC on Monday and were welcomed by ministers Bratya Basu and Moloy Ghatak. Pasha said many workers could not make it to the induction ceremony given Covid-19 related restrictions, but had accompanied him for the event.
The AIMIM has dismissed the claims. Asim Waqar, national spokesperson of AIMIM and West Bengal incharge said Pasha was not an office bearer of the party and was not even in touch with the party for many months. He also added that not more than three members of the party had joined the TMC.
"Our party's state committees have not even been announced so there is no truth to anyone claiming that he was heading any unit of the party," he said, adding that the MIM's work in West Bengal was on track as planned. "Most of those who were seen joining the TMC were not even remotely associated with MIM. Our members are with the party, working hard to strengthen the party. "
Owaisi has recently alleged that Mamata Banerjee's government has done little to improve the lot of Muslims in West Bengal and has arrested many Muslims for taking part in anti CAA protests.
While the TMC is determined to get the entire Muslim voters who backed the TMC in 2011 and 2016, the BJP was hoping the AIMIM will cut into muslim votes of the TMC.
In the 2016 assembly polls, TMC had won 211 out of 294 seats, and nearly 92 constituencies, according to experts, were won by the party largely due to an overwhelming Muslim support.
Since the last two months, the TMC has reached out to Pasha and 17 other senior functionaries of the AIMIM. A TMC functionary said the party has been keeping an eye on MIM's growth in areas such as Uttar Dinajpur, Malda, Murshidabad and Birbhum districts in northern and central Bengal, and recent spurt in its numbers in North and South 24-Parganas that have a sizeable Muslim population.
West Bengal BJP Vice-President Jay Prakash Majumdar said the shifting of camps by some MIM workers to TMC showed that both the parties were part of the "same team" to counter the BJP. "This proves what we have been saying that the TMC is interested only is securing Muslim votes. This will only benefit us," he told ET.
TMC spokesperson Debangshu Bhattacharya, however, said that the allegation of Muslim appeasement against Mamata Banerjee is not fair as "she has given a skywalk to Dakshineshwar and spoken for all Bengalis, Hindus and Muslims alike."
"There is no place for a north Indian party such as MIM in West Bengal where Muslims closely identify themselves with the Bengali culture. Our CM has provided the Muslims here everything because she understands their problems. The State cannot progress if minorities are not supported. The CM specifically supports the Imams because she wants to reach out to the community whenever necessary."
