ZIRAAT BANK’S FINANCIAL STANDING, PROFITABILITY AND SOLVENCY
Ziraat Bank seeks to strengthen its financial structure through sustainable growth, profitability, and productivity. In 2016 the Bank continued to reinforce its equity-compatible balance sheet structure through the asset & liability management strategies that it adhered to and it remained on course in terms of capital adequacy, profitability, and productivity.
As of year-end 2016 the Bank’s total assets amounted to TL 357.8 billion and its total equity to TL 38.4 billion. Importance was again given to supporting equity through sustainable profitability: total equity accounted for about a 11% share of the Bank’s balance sheet.
Recognizing the key importance of sustainable profitability in equity management, the Bank increased its net profit by 27.4% in 2016 to TL 6.6 billion. As of year-end, Ziraat Bank’s return on equity and return on assets ratios were 18.7% and 2.0% respectively while its capital adequacy ratio was 14.5%.
In keeping with the Ziraat Bank Customer Service Model, the Bank focuses on providing financial solutions to all real-sector actors, but especially to those in agriculture, with the result that lendings are making up a steadily increasing share in the balance sheet. As a result of this customer-weighted balance sheet management strategy, the total volume of the Bank’s cash lendings increased by 25% to TL 232.6 billion and corresponded to 65% of total assets while the share of marketable securities, which was 21% in 2015, was down to 19% in 2016. Ziraat Bank’s NPL ratio in 2016 was 1.8%. The Bank’s consistent ability to maintain a below-average NPL ratio without selling off any of its assets is an indication of the high quality of its asset structure.
In line with Ziraat Bank’s approach of contributing to the country’s overall level of saving and of having recourse to broadly-based, low-cost resources, total deposits reached TL 223 billion, a performance that maintained the Bank’s standing as the sector’s leading deposit-taker in 2016. Deposits and non-deposit resources account for 62% and 21% shares respectively of total liabilities. In keeping with the Bank’s ongoing efforts to diversify and deepen its sources of funding, in 2016 Ziraat Bank continued to seek out and tap alternatives such as international agency and financial institution lines of credit, post-financing, and bank bond & bill issues.
The Bank focuses on productivity rather than on profitability, and works to turn productivity into a priority culture in its activities. Being the bank possessing the sector’s broadest branch and ATM networks, Ziraat Bank targets to further increase the efficiency and productivity of this service network, and to maintain its position as the bank with the lowest cost/income ratio among banks of a similar scale.

The 1st 3 days was extreme nausea and I would throw up just smelling food. After that I could eat by bites only (one here, one there). The cycle seems to repeat each week as I up the dosage (.6, 1.2 and now starting on 1.8). I'm just starting on week 3 and am down 17 lbs.

First Attempt - Crash and Burn
This was my first attempt at meshing video with audio using iMovie. As you can see its a mess. This was before I realized you could stretch a single audio clip across multiple video clips. Once I realized this, I had to start over. Interestingly though, this failed attempt demonstrates what happens when you import clips over and over into iMovie. With each import, the clips become grayer (or more faded).

LaBr3 GEANT4 Simulation: 8th order polynomial fit above 40 keV including SCEPTAR and Delrin vacuum chamber.
Si(Li) Simulation: Relative Efficiency curve shape based on formalism referenced in Radiation Detection & Measurement (G.F. Knoll, Wiley 2000). Note that the Si(Li) simulations are known to differ from experiment at the 30% level. An absolute normalization is applied per Masters Thesis of Ryan Dunlop, University of Guelph, 2012, "High-precision branching ratio measurement for the superallowed β+ emitter 74Rb", based on the analysis of in-beam 80Rb decay.
SCEPTAR GEANT4 Simulation: triple Fermi function fit adjusted to asymptotically approach 0.8 at high Q per experiment. Low-Q position efficiencies fixed to 0.065% per simulated annihilation photopeak efficiency.
The following four configuration efficiencies are based on solid angle coverage of detectors:
DESCANT: 27% efficient between 1 and 5 MeV; efficiency lower outside this range, and no value is reported here.
SCEPTAR + ZDS: 65% efficient.
SCEPTAR + PACES: 40% efficient.
PACES + ZDS: 25% efficient.

--- creation_epoch:<PHONE_NUMBER> lastmod_epoch:<PHONE_NUMBER> categories: ['Misc'] title: Fake 2TB USB scam --- I was perusing Amazon.com and came across a 1TB USB drive for only $22 via Amazon Prime. Decided I'd try it out to see what these devices are all about.
Drive came in a clear style case with 2 free gifts, a keychain stylus (soft-tip for use on touch screens) and a pink keychain holder for the USB drive.
Imagine my surprise when I plugged in the USB drive and instead of reporting 1TB it came back as 2TB!
I ran the FakeFlashTest tool on the drive and it failed fairly quickly. After the failed test the drive partition was corrupt, and I had to unplug it and replug to get it to respond again. I opened the diskpart command line tool, select disk, clean, create partition, and it came back as a 1.90TiB drive again. I did a quick format and ran the slow test.
The slow test came back with the drive failing after 2GB so in reality the flash only has 2GB of actual storage or 0.002TB of the promised amount.
Moral, if it seems too good to be true don't trust it even if it is an Amazon Prime listing, haha. I returned the thing to get my $21 bucks back.
Update: April 2022 - I purchased another 2TB USB from Amazon for $32.

tree and attribute comments.
- InstallerEditor Make Exe window remembers all its contents.
- Added
os_filter
that behaves like lcid_filter
for operating
system IDs.
- Replaced
os_filter_greater
and os_filter_smaller
with
os_filter_min
and os_filter_max
that include boundaries
and use literals instead of numbers.

show_progress_dialog
at setup configuration and component level,
controls whether to show the component install progress dialog.
- Added
show_cab_dialog
at setup configuration and component level, controls
whether to show the CAB extraction progress dialog.
- Added user-defined image control.
- Holding the keyboard Control key and double-clicking on a bootstrapper component
will install it, regardless of whether the component is selected or not.
- Holding the keyboard Shift key and double-clicking on a bootstrapper component will
toggle it's selected state, regardless of whether the component is required or not.
- Unicows.dll embedding is now optional. Specify
/Mslu+
on the InstallerLinker
command line if you plan to run your setup on Windows 95 and 98 platforms.

#LANGUAGE
and #LANGID
variables, current configuration
language and locale id.

to
True
for the control to be displayed, enabled or both, depending
on the value of the new check
option.
- Added
defaultvalue
options to registry
, file
and product
installed checks. The default value is used when the bootstrapper
does not find the registry key or file, ie. it cannot decide whether the component
is installed based on the specifics of the check (eg. version comparison with a
value that doesn't exist is not meaningful).
- Added
selected
option to components to select or de-select a component
by default.
- Added
key_exists
and value_exists
operators to registry
installed checks. The value_exists
operator allows one to check whether
the default registry key value is set.
- Misc:
/DisplayCab
truncates the files list for each cub at two items; rest
is shown as a summary.
- Failures to read or write embedded resources, including CABs, CAB directory, banner
and manifest, reports the file name affected by the error.
- Documented uninstall strategy for MSIs by remembering the product GUID in registry
under the "Install and Uninstall Sequences" section.
- Substantially improved peformance linking large bootstrappers with many embedded
files and components.
- Implemented work-around for "not enough storage space" system error while embedding
large CABs.
- Bugs:
- MSI components ignore
uninstall_cmdparameters
, uninstall_cmdparameters_silent
and uninstall_cmdparameters_basic
.
- MSU components don't property handle reboots with standard 3010 exit code.
- Extracting files from large embedded CABs with many files may not extract all files.
- Uninstall doesn't remove components and process configurations in reverse order.
- Progress status and labels encode & characters as key access indicators instead
of rendering them as is.
- CMD components don't property reload
command_basic
and uninstall_command_basic
in InstallerEditor.
- InstallerEditor "Save" menu is not re-enabled after "Save As".

exists
operator for a blank field
value fail with a "The system cannot find the file specified." error.
1.8 (1/20/2010)
- Features:
- Added support for uninstall sequences with new command-line
/i
and
/x
switches, supports_install
, supports_uninstall
global options in configurations, components and controls. Added extended uninstall
parameters in cmd
and msi
components.
- Added user-defined form controls and input for labels, checkboxes, edit boxes, hyperlinks
and file/directory browse controls.
- Added user-defined splash screen embedded with the InstallerLinker
/Splash
option and an optional /nosplash
switch to dotNetInstaller.
- dotNetInstaller: Added
/controlArgs "control id":"value"
to dotNetInstaller.exe
command line to override initial control values.
- Added
returncodes_reboot
to cmd
components that specify
which return code(s) should be treated as a required reboot.
- Added
returncodes_success
to cmd
components that specify
a list of comma-separated return code(s) that should be treated as success. Specify
"all" to create a component that doesn't fail based on its return code and specify
!value
to treat all return codes except a single value as success.
- Added splash and manifest input to InstallerEditor's Make Exe dialog.
- Added support for a license agreement checkbox user-defined control.
- Added
dialog_message_copying
that displays instead of dialog_message_downloading
when the file is copied from sourcepath
.
- The
dialog_message_downloading
and dialog_message_copying
replace dialog_message
in download dialogs depending on whether a download
or a local copy is required.
- Added component
id
and renamed description
to display_name
.
- ComponentArgs now accepts
*
, id
or display_name
,
cumulative in this order.
- Added
clear_cache
to download components. When true, attempts to clear
the local internet cache entry for the url to download.
- Cabbing now embeds files that belong in components in separate resource streams,
extracting only those files that are necessary for installation of a particular
component. Embedded files outside of components continue to always be extracted.
- Changed default of
/EmbedResourceSize <size in bytes>
from 32MB
to 128MB.
- CAB extraction uses the memory-mapped resource streams and no longer writes temporary
files to extract embedded components. This significantly reduces disk space and
memory requirements and improves extraction speed.
- InstallerEditor now accepts a configuration file on the command-line and opens it.
You can also pass /? for command-line usage and success/failure return codes are
documented.

, version_le
and version_ge
are
broken: their results are inverted; if you have been using these checks, review
the documentation and adjust the check conditions.
- Bug: InstallerEditor's Make Exe dialog is closed when the user presses Cancel when
prompted for a target .exe file name.
- Misc:
- Added 3rd party licensing information to documentation.
1.7 (9/30/2009)
- Features:
- Added OS filter identifiers for Windows Vista SP2, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows
Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.
- Extended registry search REG_MULTI_SZ semantics. You can now specify a comma-delimited
list of values to
match
exactly all values, contains
to
match a subset of values and you can no longer specify a broken version
match.
- Added support for nested reference configurations. Each downloaded configuration
file is checked for more reference configurations. There's a nested depth limit
of 10 to avoid circular references.

/DisplayCab
command line option to dotNetInstaller.exe that displays
the embedded CAB file contents when available.
- Added
/DisplayConfig
command line option to dotNetInstaller.exe that

- Added
/ConfigFile <path\configuration.xml>
option to the bootstrapper
to specify an alternate configuration file.
- dotNetInstaller process exit code is now 0 on success, process exit code is now
shell execute return code on an open file component failure, MSI return code on
an MSI component failure, process exit code on a non-zero cmd component return,
-2 on cancel from main dialog or download and -1 on any other error. Check
%ERRORLEVEL%
in batch scripts.
- Added a directory exists installed check.
- Added
dialog_message_connecting
and dialog_message_sendingrequest
to download progress.

log_enabled
and log_file
options to the configuration
top level from individual install configurations.
- Added expansion of registry variables to configuration nodes in the format of
@[KEY:OPTION\PATH\VALUE]
(eg. @[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\CommonFilesDir]).
- Added expansion of environment variables to configuration nodes (eg. %TEMP%).

variables.
- Added an optional user language selection dialog to the bootstrapper. Users can
pick amongst the languages available instead of choosing their locale or the one
of the operating system.
- Msi packages can now be GUIDs of installed products, in the {GUID} format. These
will not be resolved as a path.
- Added
/Manifest <manifest file>
to the installer linker to specify
a replacement manifest. This enables building bootstrappers that don't elevate on
Windows Vista, Server and Windows 7.
- Added
/EmbedResourceSize <size in bytes>
to installer linker
to specify the max size of each embedded resource. Defaults to 32Mb.
- Added

setup configuration parameter that defines additional
command-line parameters to include in the reboot command-line.
- Added
wait_for_complete_command
that defines whether to detach the
complete command or to execute it synchronously and wait for the program to finish.

1.6 (6/29/2009)
- First release off CodePlex,
http://dotnetinstaller.codeplex.com.
- New MSI installer. You can use the installer or a binary distribution package.
- New, largely rewritten, CHM documentation.
- Changed behavior of file embedding to explicit: disabled automatic embedding of
files from
msi
, download
and openfile
components,
set /Embed
to True
by default.
- Added an
EmbedFolder
configuration component to embed directories and
subdirectories with an optional wildcard and configurable destination.
- Added parity between
EmbedFolder
and EmbedFile
components
which can be now specified in both the configuration and on the command line.
- InstallerLinker: embedded files that cannot be found are reported as errors with
their full paths.
- InstallerLinker: Changed default value of
/AppPath
, now defaults to
the current directory and not to the location of the configuration.xml.
- dotNetInstaller: embedded CABs are now segmented into 32-megabyte chunks. This reduces
the minimum required memory for installers containing embedded CABs to about 48Mb,
reduces paging and improves performance during extraction of large embedded CABs.
Added editor and linker support for Windows Vista/XP 64.
- Added OS filter identifiers for Windows Server 2008.
- Added
InstalledCheckOperator
of 'And', 'Or' and 'Not' types that combine
results from one or more InstalledCheck
and InstalledCheckOperator
elements.
- dotNetInstaller: Added
/componentArgs "component description":"parameters"
to dotNetInstaller.exe command line. This enables passing additional parameters
to specific components declared in configuration.xml.
- InstallerEditor: added support for configuration file XML comments and a text box
where the developer can edit a comment, saved as an xml comment above the selected
node.
- InstallerEditor: configuration tree now supports deletion of nodes with the keyboard
Delete key and will popup the Add menu with the Insert key.
- InstallerEditor: components can be dragged and dropped between nodes.

an exe (F10), exit (Alt+F4) and refresh (F5).
- InstallerEditor: user no longer prompted for a configuration file name on New.
- InstallerEditor: the New and Open menu items are always enabled.
- InstallerEditor: added a status strip that reports general information, including
Save or Load.
- InstallerEditor: closing a configuration no longer prompts to save changes when
there were no changes made.
- InstallerEditor: writes schema and generator version information to configuration.xml.
- Added
allow_continue_on_error
globally and per-component: when false
user is no longer prompted to continue on error, instead the user is informed of
the failure and installation aborts. Combine this option with auto_close_on_error
to get predictable failure behavior as bootstrapper will close after an element
of setup failed. Note that in order for a component to allow continuing on error
both the global and the component setting must be set to True.
- DotNetInstaller: warns and offers the user to abort if configuration was not generated
with a matching version of InstallerEditor.
- DotNetInstaller: merged functionality of the Advanced component selector into the
main window, removed the Advanced button.
- Added
dialog_show_required
: when false, required components are hidden.
- Added
dialog_show_installed

,
dialog_bitmap_position
, dialog_otherinfo_link_position
,
dialog_osinfo_position
, dialog_install_button_position
,
dialog_cancel_button_position
and dialog_skip_button_position
.
Supports resizing coordinates selectively.
- Added
configuration_no_match_message
that displays as error when no
configuration matching operating system, locale or processor architecture filters
has been found. Removed unused os_filter_not_match_message
and processor_architecture_filter_not_match_message
.
- Added
#SYSTEMWINDOWSPATH
constant resolved to system Windows directory
in paths.
- Added
#PID
constant resolved to process ID in paths.
- Added
embed
option to msi, openfile and download (sub)components to
disable automatic file embedding.
- Added
lcidtype
option to the configuration file that can be set to
the method to use to obtain the current LCID used to match a configuration. Now
supports user.exe (KB181604), system and user methods.
- Expanded
status_installed
and status_notinstalled
per-component.

default value is changed to
true
.
- Added
sourcepath
to support mixed-mode physical media distribution
scenarios where frequently required components are embedded and other components
downloaded.

component failure, process exit code on a non-zero cmd component return, -2 on cancel
from main dialog and -1 on any other error. Check
%ERRORLEVEL%
in batch
scripts.
- Silent install support was extended to a full UI, basic UI and no UI mode, silent
install no longer pops up progress dialogs, while basic UI install does without
requiring user interaction. All UI modes are enabled via configuration and can be
overriden from command line with /q (silent), /qb (basic UI) and /nq (full UI).
- Hidden folders and files are no longer embedded.
- Added
installation_none
, displayed instead of installation_complete
when no components were required.
- Bug: cancel has no effect on the download dialog before download starts.
- Bug: download dialog will no longer appear when download is not required.
- Bug: command-line parameters are not preserved on reboot.
- Bug: /ComponentArgs cannot contain a colon.
- Bug: errors in command line arguments aren't reported.
- Bug: dotNetInstaller doesn't report invalid command-line parameters.
1.5 (10/25/2008)
- Added support for installing 64-bit applications, including WOW support for component
installed checks, processor architecture restrictions per installation and/or component,
etc.
- Added support for silent installs; silent mode can be declared either in the configuration
XML or from the command line.
- Added command_silent to the component of type "command" and cmdparameters_silent
to the component of type "msi" that optionally replace command and cmdparameters
parameters in a silent install.
- Added an "alwaysdownload" configuration XML attribute to the download element; if
this value is false, the file will not be download if it already exists locally
(this enables using the same configuration XML for both online and offline installs).
- Modified configuration-level OS filter matching to be included as part of the configuration
filter checks (previously, the program would exit if an unmatched configuration-level
OS filter was encounter).
- Updated configuration element processing so that all valid configuration blocks
(matching both OS and LCID filters) will be executed (previously, only the first
matching block was executed).
- Added environment variable processing support to component commands where the component
type is "cmd" or "msi".
- Modified complete_command handling so that dotNetInstaller will wait for Command_Complete
to finish executing.
- Added complete_command_silent to allow overriding complete_command on silent install.
- Added OS filter identifiers for Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows
Server 2003 SP2, and Windows Vista SP1.
- Added optional configuration-level and component-level OS filter matching system
architecture (x86, x64, etc). See "processor_architecture_filter". This filter restricts
the entire boostrapper from running on non-supported processors and enables installation
of different dependencies on different processor architectures.
- Added CABing, embedding of support files using
Elmue's CAB library and a PackagedSetup sample.
- Added an "Embed File" component, child of "configuration" and "component", to embed
support files when /Embed is specified.
- Added /ExtractCab command line option to dotNetInstaller.exe that extracts the embedded
CAB file and its contents in the current directory.
- Added InstallerLinker.exe with command line options /e (Embed) and /a (AppPath)
and /v (Verbose) for using in build processes.
- Added /EmbedFile and /EmbedFolder command line options to InstallerLinker to embed
individual files and folder structures.

file parameter to specify the resulting full path to the log filename for the dotNetInstaller
itself.
- Added application version and operating system header to the log output as well
as a timestamp in front of every log entry.
- Added #CABPATH variable that can be used in path settings.
- Added #GUID variable that represents a unique GUID across a single instance of dotNetInstaller.
- Added an MSBuild script that centrally versions, builds and packages dotNetInstaller
into target/Debug|Release, including a sample.
- Added a combined Visual Studio solution, dni.sln with automatic versioning (reqiures
MSBuild Community Tasks); the major
and minor version number can be incremented in dni.proj, the build number is the
latest SVN revision and the release number is a timestamp.
- Added features to specify additional binary information, including copyright or
company name, specifically "file_version" and "product_version" configuration attributes,
as well as free-formed string attributes, using
ResourceLib.
- Added a component "required" option; a required component cannot be de-selected
in the Advanced tab and complete_command is only executed when all reqiured components
have been installed.
- Added /CompleteCommandArgs "value" to dotNetInstaller.exe to pass additional parameters
to "complete_command" and "complete_command_silent".
- Added horizontal scrollbars in component lists that can't fit all the text in.

SQL - Overview and command cheat sheet
April 2nd 2016
Introduction to SQL and Databases
- SQL (Structured Query Language)
- SQL is a programming language that is designed to manage data, stored in relational databases. By using simple, declarative statements a programmer can access, add or modify data in tables.
- Relational Databases
-
Relational databases structure information in one or more 'related' tables that consist of rows and columns
A column is a set of data values of a particular type (ie. a user id, age, name, etc.)
A row is a single record in a table (ie. A user)
In order to make the database 'fool-proof' and avoid pollution of the data, various checks and enforcements can and should be applied. When designing a database, you can for example specify the datatype of each column and require any input to meet that datatype:
- Integer
- Text (strings)
- Date (YYYY-MM-DD)
- REAL (Decimals
- NULL (empty values)
Basic table manipulations
| Notation | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| CREATE TABLE | Clause that triggers the creation of a new table. When using this clause, you must name the table and specify the different columns and their respective datatypes as arguments |
CREATE TABLE table_name ( |
| ALTER TABLE | ALTER TABLE is a statement that let's you make specific changes to the table. With this statement you can add, modify or remove column structures (or requirements) in the table. |
ALTER TABLE table ADD COLUMN column_name DATATYPE
|
| INSERT INTO | Clause that adds specified rows into the table. This clause takes as many arguments as there are columns in the table. |
INSERT INTO table (value_1, value_2, value_3); |
| UPDATE | UPDATE is a clause that edits the row in a table. The update operator is used in combination with the keyword 'SET' and a condition (to select which rows to update) |
UPDATE table SET column = value WHERE condition;
|
| DELETE FROM | DELETE FROM is a statement that let's you delete one or more rows from the table. You must however specify which entries to delete with a conditional statement WHERE. |
DELETE FROM table WHERE column CONDITION
|
Basic SQL queries
SQL queries communicate with a database to retrieve information.
| Notation | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| SELECT | SELECT is a clause that indicates a query |
SELECT column FROM table; |
| FROM | FROM clause indicates in which table(s) will be searched |
SELECT column FROM table; |
| DISTINCT | SELECT DISTINCT returns unique values for specified columns |
SELECT DISTINCT column FROM table;
|
| WHERE | WHERE is a clause that indicates a filter on the result. Only the rows where the condition(s) return 'true' are retained. |
SELECT column FROM table WHERE (condition_column + condition); Example: Select everything in a table called 'movies' where the entry has a rating of more than 8: SELECT * FROM movies WHERE rating > 8;
|
| LIKE |
LIKE is a special operator to compare similar values and identify patterns. The LIKE statement is to be used in combination with the WHERE clause. |
SELECT column FROM table WHERE column LIKE 'pattern'; Example: Select everything in a table called 'movies' where the name is related to 'Se_en'. The _ will be replaced by any possible character and return the entrie that match the pattern. For example 'Seven' and 'Se7en' are both valid movies. SELECT * FROM movies WHERE name LIKE 'Se_en'; The '_' is a wildcard (more info below) |
| BETWEEN |
BETWEEN filters results, based on a specific range of alphanumerical characters The BETWEEN statement is to be used in combination with the WHERE clause. |
SELECT * FROM table WHERE column BETWEEN start_value AND end_value;
Example: Select everything in a table called 'movies' where the release year is between 1990 and 2000.SELECT * FROM movies WHERE year BETWEEN 1990 AND 2000;
|
| AND |
AND is an operator that combines two or more conditions. All conditions must be 'true' for the entry to be retained in the result list |
SELECT column FROM table WHERE condition_a AND condition_b; Example: Select all movies of a specific genre within a specific time-period. SELECT * FROM movies WHERE year BETWEEN 1990 AND 2000 AND genre = 'comedy';
|
| OR |
OR is an operator that filters the result list on multiple conditions. All entries for which either condition returns 'true' is retained. |
SELECT column FROM table WHERE condition_a OR condition_b; Example: Select all movies of a specific genre OR a specific time-period. SELECT * FROM movies WHERE year BETWEEN 1990 AND 2000 OR genre = 'comedy';
|
| ORDER BY |
ORDER BY is a sorting operator that orders on an alpha-numerical order. You can chose either an ascending order (ASC) or descending order (DESC). |
SELECT column FROM table ORDER BY order_column ASC; Example: Return all the movies from highest to lowest rating. SELECT * FROM movies ORDER BY rating DESC;
|
| LIMIT |
LIMIT specifies the maximal number of rows to display in the result list. |
SELECT column FROM table LIMIT 10; Example: Select the top ten 'best rated' of movies. SELECT * FROM movies ORDER BY rating DESC LIMIT 10;
|
Aggregate functions in SQL
Aggregate functions compute a single result from a set of input values (that are retrieved from a query). For example taking the average of all the values in a column.
Aggregate functions are very useful to transform the data in the exact format you want to use in the client-side application. By processing the raw data at the source, to the 'right' structure you can save a lot of bandwith and optimize the use of computing power.
| Notation | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| COUNT() | COUNT() returns the number of rows for which the value is not NULL |
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table; The returned value will be considered as a data-element for the SELECT statement. |
| GROUP BY() |
GROUP BY() arranges identical data in groups The GROUP BY () command is used in the context of SELECT and is always used in combination with an aggregate function such as COUNT() It's helpful to also SELECT the column you pass as an argument to GROUP BY ()! |
SELECT parameter, COUNT(*) FROM table GROUP BY parameter; A typical use would be to group products by their product categories on an e-commerce site, or group items by supplier, price etc. |
| SUM() | SUM() adds all the values in a particular column |
SELECT SUM(parameter) FROM table;
|
| MAX() | MAX() returns the row (entry) with the highest value for a specific column. |
SELECT MAX(parameter) FROM table;
|
| MIN() | MIN() returns the row (entry) with the lowest value for a specific column. |
SELECT MIN(parameter) FROM table;
|
| AVG() | AVG() returns the average of all values in a specific column. |
SELECT AVG(parameter) FROM table;
|
| ROUND() |
ROUND() rounds down the number of decimals as specified in the argument. If no integer is specified in the argument, ROUND() will round the value up/down to the closest integer. |
SELECT ROUND(INTGER) FROM table;
|
Order of operations in an SQL command
SQL SELECT statements can be composed of many different operations. Whereas most databases are relatively flexible about the order of statements, you can boost performance by writing the command in the order that the statements will be processed. This will reduce slow response times and increase efficiency.
For example the database must first retrieve the data before it can sort, group or make apply aggregate functions.
- FROM: Specifies the table to query from
- JOIN-TYPE: Specifies way the code will combine multiple tables
- ON: Keyword introducing the second table in the join condition
- WHERE: Introduces conditional statements, only the entries for which the condition returns 'true' will be added to the result list
- GROUP BY: Arrange identical data in groups
- HAVING: Conditional statement, similar to WHERE (but one that works with aggregate functions)
- SELECT: Clause that indicates a query
- DISTINCT: Specifies that only unique values should be considered
- ORDER BY: Sort elements in a specific alphanumerical order of a specific column
- TOP: Specify the number of records to return (Similar to the LIMIT clause)
Wildcards
Wildcards are special symbols that trigger specific behavior in the SQL language:
- * : Select ALL
- _ : The _ will be substituted by any possible character
- % : Matches zero or more missing characters in a pattern
- Example: A% : Matches all entries starting with the character 'A'
- Example: %a : Matches all entries ending on 'a'
- Example: %man% : Matches all entries starting and/or ending on 'man'


The deﬁnition of the canonical toroidal angular momentum Pϕ involves the magnetic vector potential. Hence we need to calculate the vecotor potential. Given a current source J(r,t), the vector potential can be calculated using
|
| (627) |
where
|
| (628) |
is called the retarded time. For a steady-state source, J(r′,t′) = J(r). Then Eq. (627) is simpliﬁed as
|
| (629) |
For a current ﬂowing in a zero-thinkness wire, the above equation is written as
|
| (630) |
where dS is a surface element perpendicular to the wire and dl is a line element along the wire. Using J(r′)dS(r′) = I(r′), the above eqaution is written as


[gecode-users] edge-finder propagator
Jan Kelbel
kelbelj at fel.cvut.cz
Wed Aug 20 15:15:28 CEST 2008
Hi,
we are trying to implement edge-finder propagator. The algorithm is
implemented according to the book Baptiste,Le Pape, Nuijten (2001)
Constraint-Based Scheduling.
We also took some Gecode coding inspiration from the cumulatives
propagator.
The problem we have, is that for FT6 job-shop benchmark (we did not try
more benchmarks yet), the edge-finder combined with BAB branching founds
a solution that has Cmax>OptimalCmax, but is marked as an optimum, since
BAB founds no better solution.
However, when a constraint Cmax < 57 is added (optimum for FT6 is 55),
see line 96 of jobshop.cpp, then a solution with correct Cmax is found.
We do not know if the bug is in the edge-finder algoritm (not much
likely), in the Gecode stuff of the propagator code, or in the Gecode
itself.
Maybe someone who already implemented some edge-finder variation could
help us.
The code of the whole program is attached (about 300 lines of code). The
problem object Jobshop is inherited from the object Example, ie. it is
necessary to include "examples/support.hh" and to link it with
"example.o" and "options.o" from examples/support directory of the
Gecode distribution.
We use Gecode 2.1.1 binary distribution, Visual C++ 2008 and Windows XP.
There are some TODOs we know about, but we think that are not the source
of the problem:
* some methods of the propagator should be inlined
* vector used for sorting tasks should not be created each time
propagate() method is called - instead it should be created in
propagator constructor
* improve input function to be able to compute jobshops with different
number of jobs and tasks (n != m)
I also obtained the same memory allocation problem, that was already
reported by Nick Hindle on July 21st
http://www.gecode.org/gecode-users/2008-July/002344.html
The problematic code is in file jobshop.cpp line 115:
os << S[i] << ", "; //raises memory allocation exception
os << S[i].val() << ", "; //this works
Thanks, Jan

We will have a fight on our hands, says TN coach Vasu
R. Ashwin likely to join the squad after the second Test against Bangladesh
by S. Dipak RagavSuratTamil Nadu has had a great start to its domestic season after two disappointing years and comes into the Super League phase of the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament having topped its group.
Happy with the way the season has started, coach D. Vasu said: “It has been a good start but we can’t be complacent with what we have achieved. It is a competitive group and we will have a fight on our hands with teams like Karnataka, Mumbai and Jharkhand.”
On the areas he felt the team could improve, Vasu added: “Opening is an area of concern. Constantly we have not had a great partnership to start with and that is an area I am worried about.”
Without M. Vijay, Washington Sundar might be promoted up the order alongside N. Jagadeesan to have a left-right combination.
It is also expected that R. Ashwin is likely to join the squad immediately after the second Test against Bangladesh gets over in Kolkata, which should help the team’s cause.
Solid on all fronts
Karnataka has been looking solid on all fronts and senior player Karun Nair said the fact that team has been in knockout stages regularly in the last few years means the players are well equipped to handle pressure.
“I think we as a team are confident of doing well in this phase of the competition. We have covered all our bases and if we play as a team we have the potential to beat anyone in India,” Karun added.


Write a function called sum() that takes in two numbers as arguments and then returns the sum of those numbers.
Write a function called multiply() that takes in two numbers as arguments and then returns the product of those numbers.
Write a function called sumAndMultiply() that takes in THREE numbers as arguments and
then returns two values in an array: the sum of those numbers and the product of those numbers.
Write a function called sumArray() that takes in an array of numbers as a single argument and then returns the sum of those numbers.
Write a function called multiplyArray() that takes in an array of numbers as a single argument and then returns the product of those numbers.


Project Timeline - Jan 2019 to Jan 2020
Roles - Game Designer
Tech Stacks - C#, Blender, Unity, Adobe Photoshop
Links - StubidRush
StubidRush should be easy-to-play, and free-to-play; it should feature very minimalistic user interfaces. The game should have zero learning cost and can be played without any tutorial and instructions. Design with very primary color scheme, easy machanics, and featuring infinite looped mmachanics. It should also be playable for an infinite amount of time. Allowing players to play while multitasking, and losing would not bring frustration.
The game is completely built by my own, and now the beta version can be played on web browser for PC. The project is finished as my first Unity project, and it is unlikely for further development. Click here and start playing!
Player use A and D on keyboard to control and dodge the obstacles. The scoreboard records the maximum distance from the player to travel in one consecutive run. The platform is designed to be slippery to increase difficulty and add more styles to the game. The final version of the game has four different levels which demonstrate my learning process. First level has basic control and hit logic. The second level adds a speed up block with more objects interaction. The third level adds a invincible block which gives more optins in level design. In the last level, a block that triggers explosions is added to enhance the graphics complexity.
As a the first unity project of mine, it is very mimimal and short, however, I still learned a lot of different features of Unity platform and some C# basic. As a beginner of game design with Unity, I am really surprised that this will bring me so many challenges, and at the same time, I am also surprised that this will bring me so many surprises. Please take a look and try it out! Click --> here

LES MISERABLES (1995) A film review by Roger Dobrick Copyright 1996 Roger Dobrick
We saw the Claude Lelouche version of "Les Miserables" yesterday--and I highly recommend it.
It's an "updated" version of Victor Hugo's novel, with Jean-Paul Belmondo playing Jean Valjean and two 20th-century era characters whose lives are similar to the character in the novel. Lelouche brilliantly intertwines Hugo's book with the 20th century, most notably the German occupation of France during WW II and the persecution of the Jews which accompanied it.
I've seen many 3-hour long movies in my life, but this is one of the few that constantly held my interest.
I suggest reading Roger Ebert's review of it, primarily because he summarizes its complexity better than I can. You can find it in the "Enertainment" section of Compuserve or possibly the Chicago Sun-Times Web Site.
As for the "R" rating--we took Mariessa, who is 12, and proportionally there is far less sex violence and offensive language in it than most pictures with this kind of rating. Moreover, rather than being gratuitous, these elements enhance the plot and the theme of the story, which is a highly moral and ethical point about the human condition.
If I were rating it, I'd give it a "PG-13"--I think it's a movie most teens ought to see, although it may be a little too strong for *most* kids under 10 or 11.

The Psychiatrist NYC is a medical doctor who then chose psychiatry as his or her specialty. Unlike the psychologist, who has a doctorate, the psychiatrist, who is a licensed MD, can prescribe medication for his or her patients. Counseling is a very helpful thing for the person with less than good mental health. Sometimes, however, help must extend beyond talk therapy.
There are those mental health issues that cause a person to lose touch with reality. You may have observed a man walking down the street, talking animatedly, but no one is walking with him and listening to what he is saying. This individual would be considered out of touch with reality.
Psychotic behavior such as this, makes it mandatory to prescribe some sort of medication that will improve that condition. It may not cure the psychosis, but will serve to calm him down. This is a definite advantage because it may make it less stressful for him and improve his quality of life. It may also make it easier for the family to care for him.
 The person who is suffering from this condition will have delusions such as the government is tracking him down, or radio waves are trying to enter his brain and make him do things. Sometimes the schizophrenic will cover windows with tin foil to keep out such intruders.
There is no easy way to communicate with this individual or make him recognize reality. The Psychiatrist NYC will prescribe medication that will improve, if not completely rectify, his mental state. Counseling may or may not have any effect on him. Often, institutionalization is the only solution.
The mental illness referred to as manic depressive causes an individual to have radical mood swings. One day she may be acting happy to the point of being histrionic. The next, she may be so sad and depressed that she is barely able to get out of bed. It is difficult to hold a job, or have a semblance of stability in her life.
There are now prescription medications that can make her condition stable. There may be some unusual traits that are not eradicated. However, she will be in touch with reality and capable of functioning in society in some capacity.
It is unfortunate, but, when a prescription medication is successful, the individual may think she does not need it any more. She stops taking it, possibly because it makes her too drowsy. After the medication is out of her system, the original mental health issue returns full force.
If the psychiatrist diagnoses someone and finds he or she has suicidal tendencies, hospitalization may be the only answer. If left on her own, she may carry out a plan to end her life. An illness that could have been alleviated and overcome with care, is instead a death sentence.
There are only two circumstances in which a Psychiatrist NYC can breach patient confidentiality. If he is a danger to himself, in other words suicidal, or if he is planning to murder someone or do some sort of serious harm to a group of people. In all other cases, the doctor-patient confidentiality cannot be broken. This allows a patient to freely discuss all his feelings and anxieties with his psychiatrist, without fear of being exposed for having some detrimental mental condition.


HIGH FIDELITY ***1/2 (out of four) -a review by Bill Chambers<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(Film, dvd, and books about movies reviews. Essays. Contests. "Film Freak Central" http://filmfreakcentral.net Bring a friend!)
starring John Cusack, Jack Black, Lisa Bonet, Iben Hjejle screenplay by D.V. Devincentis & Steve Pink & John Cusack and Scott Rosenberg, based on the novel by Nick Hornby directed by Stephen Frears
Top five things thus far written about the film High Fidelity by critics other than myself: 1. "The movie looks like it was easy to make-but it must not have been because movies this wry and likable hardly ever get made. Usually a clunky plot gets in the way, or the filmmakers are afraid to let their characters seem too smart." (Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun Times) 2. "It's hard to remember the last time guys were nailed so perceptively and dragged into adulthood so warmly and entertainingly." (Jay Carr, The Boston Globe) 3. "It's the first great date movie of 2000." (Joe Leydon, Variety) 4. "Few actors could pull off the amount of narration required of Rob without becoming instantly annoying; even fewer could make self-absorption somewhat sympathetic." (Scott Renshaw, Scott Renshaw's Screening Room) 5. "I enjoyed myself immensely." (Desson Howe, Washington Post)
Really and truly, the above compilation of quotations summarizes my positive feelings on High Fidelity as a good mix tape should. The film is perceptive and enjoyable, the most precisely aimed men's movie since Swingers. Youthful males will see themselves in loquacious Rob (John Cusack, prototypically charming), a self-pitying record store owner intent on deciphering the mystery behind his string of failed relationships. The first question he asks himself is "What came first: the music or the misery?" Do sad songs ruin us, or do we gravitate towards them after the heartbreak as a form of therapy? A chicken/egg scenario if there ever was one.
This is what the fanatical do-I tend to filter all of my life experiences, for better or worse, through my knowledge and appreciation of cinema; it helps me give context to a complex emotional pathology. Rob prisms the minutia of his existence through music-a quintet of break-ups is related to us as another of his fanboy Top 5 lists, but what he's really doing is playing the frustrated musician: wittily recounting his unsuccessful love life-directly for the camera, no less-is perhaps the closest he'll ever come to releasing a five-song EP. (To get personal again, many movie critics are actually stymied filmmakers, and though it's left largely unexplored, I'm assuming that an absence of viable musical talent is what leads Rob to disc jockeying and obsessively mixing compilation tapes for others-they're both vicarious methods of attaining a faint taste of rock star glory.)
Of course, when we meet Rob, he's experiencing the misery instead of the music whole; spinning records in his dingy apartment, a veritable vinyl cellar, he's merely listening to the notes-unlike his two hired hands, Rob's passion for music seems to rollercoaster in tune with his love life. (He's also organizing his personal collection "autobiographically", effectively deintellectualizing the albums themselves.)
Those aforementioned employees are Dick (Todd Louiso), a timid buff of all songs angst-ridden, and Barry (Jack Black), the sort of elitist one anticipates meeting in comic book shops: fat, abrasive, elitist, anti-populist.  (Surprise, surprise: Barry wants to form a band, ill content with his zealot status. Naturally, Rob presumes that Barry can't sing worth a damn.) Black's character is largely responsible for the movie's vitality as a portrait of the record-peddling milieu.
Laura (Iben Hjejle), Rob's most recent dating casualty, has paralysed him with self-examination; managing "Championship Records" (the sign is missing the "SH") is the only thing getting him out of bed in the morning, but it's not enough to keep his energies up. He'll sit idly by as Barry abuses a potential buyer, and his Top 5 lists take on a spectacular banality (Barry chides him for including the obvious "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on a rundown of the best first songs of side ones). Eventually, Rob contacts old flames (two of whom are played, in cameo, by The Haunting duo Lili Taylor and Catherine Zeta-Jones), hoping they'll shed some new light on his perennial girl trouble.
Don't allow his current reputation as a mounter of gloomy, expensive period pieces (Dangerous Liaisons and Mary Reilly) to deceive you: Stephen Frears was an ingenious choice of director for High Fidelity. The source book, by Nick Hornby, takes place in London, and hiring a UK-born helmer was perhaps its only shot at retaining a British sensibility in the cinematic shift to Chicago. (It has, profoundly so.) B-sides, these kinds of working class love/hate stories were Frears' domain once upon a time, as his Sammy and Rosie Get Laid and Prick Up Your Ears demonstrate. (Additionally in his favour: Frears had worked with Cusack before, on The Grifters, and so he understands Cusack's rhythms and doesn't disturb them.)
Perhaps I mischaracterized High Fidelity as a "men's movie" above, as the guys at my screening were noticeably squirmy throughout, even as they laughed uproariously. Rather, it's a movie that those women looking for an inside track on the male species would do well to attend. It's a testament to Cusack's familiar screen presence that his character isn't totally despicable by story's end (or maybe he is, but my gender bias is getting in the way), as he is largely (and often cruelly) responsible for the death of all his affairs. One particularly unflattering moment sees habitual Rob celebrating the possibility of reunion with Laura by bedding the first available girl he can find. (He's not afraid of commitment-he's afraid of committing to the wrong girl.)
Rob, Barry, and Dick have been fully realized by a team of excellent writers, as have all sequences that take place inside "CHAMPION IP"; I was notably moved by a scene depicting communion among shoppers over The Beta Band's "Dry The Rain"-it captures the familial vibe one gets while visiting these hole-in-the-wall downtown record emporiums. Not quite as fleshed-out is Laura-she's spoken of as having personality to spare but doesn't have the chance to reveal enough of it in our company, though Hjejle projects considerable warmth. Far more problematic is Tim Robbins as Laura's tentative boyfriend Ian, for his sole defining character trait becomes a ponytail.
A few late-in-the-game turns of the plot are also underdeveloped. It's a shame, for instance, that we never get to see the production of a low-rent CD that figures prominently into the climax, because, in the words of director George Roy Hill (via William Goldman), "The audience loves ‘how-to.'" Luckily, the movie's breezy confidence smoothes over these rough patches.
Twenty years from now, they'll be calling High Fidelity a Golden Oldie; Frears' latest excited me out of a Rob-like funk (pertaining to the state of American Cinema) with convincing mise-en-scène, compelling leads, an unpredictable soundtrack, and observant humour. It already feels from a bygone era.

M_overload(3fm) - [M_overload] overloads of standard operators and intrinsic procedures (LICENSE:PD)
Synopsis
Description
Examples
Author
License
overloads on LOGICAL valuesoverloads on INTRINSICSlogical==logical logical/=logical
int(string) real(string) dble(string)
==,/= Allow the syntax "L1 == L2" and "L1 /= L2" where L1 and L2 are type LOGICAL as an alternative to the standard expressions "L1 .EQV. L2" and "L1 .NEQV. L2". It should be pointed out that
L1 == L2 !! should be L1 .eqv. L2and
L1 /= L2 !! should be L1 .neqv. L2should NOT work by default; but often do (probably because the compiler silently converts LOGICAL to INTEGER when a LOGICAL appears where a numeric value is required?). If your compiler supports this non-standard (but intuitive-looking) syntax without using an overload as provided here using it makes your code much less portable.
int(), real(), dble() allow strings to be converted to numeric values using the standard intrinsic names
Operator and function overloads have a wide range of applications
from allowing existing Fortran routines to be used with almost no
source-code changes to produce versions using arbitrary precision
or cumulative error bounds on floating-point calculations to adding
intuitive syntax for standard Fortran operations.
EXAMPLES

After publishing a few demos and tutorials related to game development with JavaScript on YouTube and my legacy tech blog, I was approached by Packt Publishing inviting me to write a 300 page book teaching HTML5 to game developers.
Buy on: Amazon or Packt Publishing
A year after the release of my first book, Packt Publishing called me again with another book proposal. This time they wanted me to write a follow up to the first book, but now focusing on advanced game development concepts related to networking/multiplayer games.
Buy on: Amazon or Packt Publishing
Almost immediately after the publication of my second book with Packt, they invited me to publish my next work with them. This time the medium was video, and the audience was the general purpose web developer looking to deepen his/her programming roots deeper into a solid foundation of computer science principles. The topic of the hour and a half course is data structures and algorithms in JavaScript.

Add constraints by selecting a column, operator and value, then clicking Add Constraint. (Note that the only valid value for an IS or IS NOT constraint is NULL)
Some of the tables you've chosen for this query are not connected by any relationships.
This means that the query will be interpreted as a
CROSS JOIN with the unjoined tables, which is rarely what's intended (it will result in
the Cartesian product of all
the records of the selected tables). To fix this, you may need to select additional tables from the
list above so that all tables are connected, add relationships to the database in the schema designer,
or manually add a WHERE clause to the SQL below.

Jamaica: American Airlines begins daily non-stop flights bewteen Mobay and JFK
by Jamaica Observer(JAMAICA OBSERVER) — United States Ambassador to Jamaica, Donald Tapia and Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett, along with a raft of officials welcomed the commencement of daily nonstop American Airlines service between New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport and Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport today.
American Airlines flight # 1349 arrived at 10:40 am with 145 passengers and six crew members, who were treated to a warm welcome by officials, complete with a performance by a Jamaican mento band.
Ambassador Tapia was elated over the arrival of the flight.
“This is a great occasion…to know we have opened another gateway to the United States. What we need to get is a flight from Phoenix, Arizona. The US and Jamaica are friends, we will always be friends, no matter who tries to separate us,” Tapia noted.
Bartlett also welcomed the new service, saying the Northeast region continues to be a strong performer for us as a destination in terms of arrivals.
For the summer period, May to September 2019, the US market region recorded a 9.3 per cent increase in arrivals with 785,055 visitors compared to the 718,531 visitors during the corresponding period last year, he noted.
“During that period, the Northeast outpaced the overall US market and saw an increase of 13.3 per cent during the same period. While stopover arrivals from the US also recorded an increase of 11.1 per cent for September 2019, the Northeast again outperformed the national average and grew by 18.1 per cent
This reintroduced service augurs well for us as a destination,” the minister continued.
American Airlines offers its 200 million annual customers 6,800 daily flights to more than 365 destinations in 61 countries from its hubs in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Washington, DC.

The next time you make a ranged w eapon attack during the spell's duration, the weapon's ammunition, or the weapon itself if it's a thrown weapon, transforms into a bolt of lightning. Make the attack roll as normal. The target takes 4d8 lightning damage on a hit, or half as much damage on a miss, instead of the weapon's normal damage.
Whether you hit or miss, each creature within 10 feet of the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. Each of these creatures takes 2d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
The piece of ammunition or weapon then returns to its normal form.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage for both effects of the spell increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
