The present invention relates to a wiring board where a plurality of bumps are formed of conductive brazing material on an insulting film, as well as a manufacturing method for a wiring board.
Inkjet printers carry out color printing using a plurality of ink cartridges having colors such as cyan, magenta, yellow and black. Inks which are supplied from the ink cartridges are jetted from a plurality of discharging openings which are formed in an inkjet head by means of pressure applied by a piezoelectric element. The piezoelectric element has a plurality of individual terminals for applying a drive voltage corresponding to the ink discharging openings. A drive voltage is applied to each of the individual terminals from a driving IC via a flexible wiring board which is connected to the piezoelectric element. A flexible wiring board is used to convey a drive voltage, a control signal and the like, and thereby, flexibility in mounting can increase when the inkjet head is mounted on the inkjet printer. In addition, the inkjet printer can be miniaturized.
A plurality of solder bumps are provided on one surface (a surface for connection with the piezoelectric element) of the flexible wiring board such that terminals of the piezoelectric element correspond in position. The solder bumps on the flexible board and the terminals of the piezoelectric element are press bonded with heating, such that the flexible board and the piezoelectric element are electrically connected. The solder bumps are formed by providing solder to wires (terminal lands) of the flexible wiring board. The solder bumps are formed in accordance with a method having, for example, the following steps: (i) a mask for the formation of solder bumps is made to make contact with a flexible wiring board; (ii) cream solder that has been applied on the mask is wiped off using a squeegee; (iii) the cream solder with which the openings in the mask are filled in is transferred to the flexible wiring board when the cream solder is wiped off, (iv) the cream solder is heated and melted in a reflow furnace. As a result, solder is provided to the terminal lands of the wires.
The structure of connection on the flexible wiring board described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-114609 is formed in accordance with a method having the following steps: (i) a line of a plurality of terminal lands is provided to an insulator in band form; (ii) through holes are created in the insulator so as to correspond to locations where terminal lands are provided, such that the terminal lands are exposed from the surface of the insulator opposite to the side on which the terminal lands are provided; (iii) solder is provided to the exposed terminal lands, such that solder bumps are formed; (iv) the terminals of the piezoelectric element and the terminal lands are connected via the solder bumps.

Timing matters: corticosterone injections 4 h before ovulation bias sex ratios towards females in chickens.
Birds have the ability to influence offspring sex prior to egg laying and may use hormones to mediate these skews. Corticosterone is of particular interest as a mediator of offspring sex because, as the primary stress hormone in birds, it regulates responses to environmental and social stimuli that trigger sex ratio biases. In previous studies in birds, chronic elevations of corticosterone stimulated female-biased sex ratios while acute pharmacological elevations that were provided 5 h prior to the expected time of ovulation stimulated male-biased sex ratios. Here, we aimed to determine the magnitude of corticosterone necessary to influence offspring sex and to further pinpoint the timing of the hormonal influence. Because high-dose injections of corticosterone stimulated male-biased sex ratios in hens, we hypothesized that females receiving acute pharmacological elevations of corticosterone would produce more male offspring while females with acute physiological elevations would produce an intermediate proportion of males compared to controls. We tested our hypotheses in laying hens by elevating corticosterone in the physiological or pharmacological range through injections of corticosterone administered 4 or 5 h prior to the expected time of ovulation. Contrary to our hypothesis, a physiological dose of corticosterone provided 5 h prior to the expected time of ovulation did not bias offspring sex ratios when compared to controls. Further, when corticosterone injections were given at 4 h prior to the expected time of ovulation, sex ratios were instead biased towards females. These results suggest that the timing and magnitude of the corticosterone elevation are both critical not only to whether a sex ratio bias occurs, but also the direction of the bias.

Lesson: Hormones and Sex Ratio in Birds

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the role of hormones in determining the sex ratio of offspring in birds. Specifically, we will focus on corticosterone, a hormone that regulates responses to environmental and social stimuli that trigger sex ratio biases.

Section 1: The Role of Corticosterone in Sex Ratio Determination
Corticosterone is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands in birds. It plays a crucial role in regulating the body's response to stress and other environmental factors. In recent studies, researchers have found that corticosterone also plays a significant role in determining the sex ratio of offspring in birds.

Section 2: The Effect of Corticosterone on Sex Ratio
Previous studies have shown that both chronic and acute elevations of corticosterone can influence the sex ratio of offspring in birds. Chronic elevations of corticosterone tend to result in female-biased sex ratios, while acute pharmacological elevations that are provided 5 hours before ovulation can lead to male-biased sex ratios.

Section 3: The Optimal Dose of Corticosterone
To determine the optimal dose of corticosterone that would influence offspring sex, researchers conducted a series of experiments on hens. They found that high-dose injections of corticosterone stimulated male-biased sex ratios in hens. This suggests that females receiving acute pharmacological elevations of corticosterone would produce more male offspring while females with acute physiological elevations would produce an intermediate proportion of males compared to controls.

Section 4: The Timing of Hormonal Influence
The timing of hormonal influence on offspring sex is also an essential factor to consider. Researchers have found that the optimal time for hormonal influence on sex ratio is 4 hours before ovulation. This is because the hormonal changes at this point can have a significant impact on the development of the egg and the resulting offspring's sex.

Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, corticosterone plays a crucial role in determining the sex ratio of offspring in birds. The optimal dose of corticosterone that influences offspring sex is high-dose injections, which stimulate male-biased sex ratios. The timing of hormonal influence is also critical, with the optimal time being 4 hours before ovulation. Understanding the role of hormones in sex ratio determination can help us better understand the natural world and its processes.

Title: Introduction to Programming Languages and their Applications in Healthcare

Overview:
In this lesson, we will learn about programming languages and their applications in healthcare. We will explore the different types of programming languages, their syntax, and how they can be used to solve real-world problems. We will also discuss the importance of programming languages in healthcare and how they can improve patient care and outcomes.

Section 1: Introduction to Programming Languages

Programming languages are tools that allow us to communicate with computers. They are used to write software programs that perform specific tasks. There are many different types of programming languages, including low-level languages like assembly language and high-level languages like Python.

Low-level languages are close to the machine code that computers understand. They are difficult to read and write, but they provide more control over the computer's hardware. High-level languages are easier to read and write, but they require more processing power from the computer.

Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) is a programming language that is commonly used in artificial intelligence and database management. It is an object-oriented language that allows programmers to create objects that contain data and methods that operate on that data.

Section 2: Applications of Programming Languages in Healthcare

Programming languages have many applications in healthcare. They can be used to develop software programs that help doctors and nurses diagnose and treat patients more effectively. They can also be used to manage patient data and improve patient outcomes.

One example of programming languages in healthcare is the development of electronic medical records (EMRs). EMRs are digital versions of patients' paper medical records. They can be accessed by authorized healthcare providers from anywhere at any time. This makes it easier for doctors and nurses to share information about patients and provide better care.

Another example is the use of machine learning algorithms to analyze medical images. These algorithms can be trained to recognize patterns in medical images that are indicative of certain diseases or conditions. This can help doctors make more accurate diagnoses and develop more effective treatment plans.

Section 3: Conclusion

In conclusion, programming languages are essential tools for healthcare professionals. They can be used to develop software programs that improve patient care and outcomes. As technology continues to advance, the role of programming languages in healthcare will only become more important. By learning about programming languages and their applications, we can prepare ourselves for a future where technology and healthcare are even more intertwined.

Federal court blocks Mississippi's fetal heartbeat law from taking effect The law was to take effect on July 1.

A federal court in Mississippi on Friday temporarily blocked the state's new "fetal heartbeat" law that bans abortion after roughly six weeks of pregnancy. The law was set to take effect July 1.

“Here we go again," U.S. District Judge Carlton W. Reeves wrote in his opinion. "Mississippi has passed another law banning abortions prior to viability.”

Mississippi is one of ten states to push through a law restricting access to abortion in 2019, though all of those laws have faced lawsuits that challenge their constitutionality and none of them are in effect. Georgia, Ohio and Kentucky have passed bans similar to Mississippi's, and earlier on Friday, Missouri's governor signed a new eight-week ban. Alabama passed a law that would criminalize abortion for doctors who perform them, while Utah and Arkansas have pushed through legislation that would ban the most common form of second-trimester abortions.

The judge went on to say that Mississippi's law, which was passed in March, “prevents a woman’s free choice, which is central to personal dignity and autonomy.”

The case was filed by the Center for Reproductive Rights and the Mississippi Center for Justice on behalf of Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which is the last remaining abortion clinic in the state.

“Unfortunately, the legislature and the Governor think they should make these decisions for women instead of letting women make their own decisions about childbirth,” Rob McDuff of the Mississippi Center for Justice said in a statement. “Fortunately, the federal court has once again stepped in to block this egregious governmental intrusion on the private lives of Mississippi’s women.”

Shannon Brewer, the clinic's director, noted that most of the patients who seek abortions are past the six-week mark.

A representative of Governor Phil Bryant could not immediately be reached for comment.

But when he signed the bill in March, Bryant said he would not be deterred by the threat of lawsuits.

“If they do not believe in the sanctity of life, these that are in organizations like Planned Parenthood, we will have to fight that fight," he said, according to the Associated Press. "But it is worth it.”

In late 2018, the same judge struck down another Mississippi law, which barred women from getting abortions 15 weeks into their pregnancy. In his decision on Friday, he noted that the state had responded to that decision "by passing an even more restrictive bill."

President Trump's appointment of Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch to the U.S. Supreme Court has given the court a conservative majority, and abortion foes see a historic opportunity to overturn or at least chip away at Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that legalized abortion.

Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement that the group intends to "block them at every turn."

“The Constitution protects a woman’s right to make decisions over her body and her life," she said. "The district court’s decision today was a resounding affirmation of this settled law.”

Lesson: Introduction to Abortion Laws

Overview: In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of abortion laws and their impact on women's rights. We will cover the basics of reproductive rights, the history of abortion laws, and the current legal landscape. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the complexities of abortion laws and their implications.

Objectives:

1. Understand the basic concepts of reproductive rights and abortion laws.
2. Learn about the history of abortion laws and their evolution over time.
3. Analyze the current legal landscape of abortion laws in the United States.
4. Evaluate the impact of abortion laws on women's rights and health.
5. Apply critical thinking skills to discuss and debate the issue of abortion laws.

Section 1: Introduction to Reproductive Rights

Reproductive rights refer to the rights and freedoms related to reproduction and reproductive health. These rights include the ability to choose if and when to have children, access to contraception, and safe and legal abortion services.

Section 2: History of Abortion Laws

Abortion has been practiced since ancient times, but it was not until the 19th century that abortion laws were first introduced. In the United States, abortion was legalized by the Supreme Court in 1973 with the Roe v. Wade decision. However, since then, many states have passed laws restricting access to abortion.

Section 3: Current Legal Landscape of Abortion Laws

Currently, there is no federal law that regulates abortion in the United States. Instead, each state has its own laws regarding abortion. Some states have very restrictive laws, while others have more liberal laws.

Section 4: Impact of Abortion Laws on Women's Rights and Health

Abortion laws have a significant impact on women's rights and health. Restrictive laws can lead to unsafe abortions, which can result in severe health complications or even death. Additionally, these laws disproportionately affect low-income women and women of color, who may not have access to safe and legal abortion services.

Section 5: Critical Thinking and Debate

Abortion is a highly charged issue, and people hold strong opinions on both sides of the debate. It is essential to approach this topic with an open mind and consider multiple perspectives. Use evidence and logical reasoning to support your arguments and engage in respectful dialogue with others.

Glossary:
- Reproductive rights: The rights and freedoms related to reproduction and reproductive health.
- Abortion laws: Laws that regulate or prohibit access to abortion services.
- Restrictive laws: Laws that limit access to abortion services.
- Liberal laws: Laws that allow for easier access to abortion services.
- Safe and legal abortion services: Abortion services provided by licensed medical professionals in accordance with the law.
- Unsafe abortions: Abortion services provided by unlicensed individuals or in unsanitary conditions.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, abortion laws are a complex and contentious issue. By understanding the history of abortion laws, the current legal landscape, and the impact on women's rights and health, we can engage in informed discussions and debates. As we continue to explore this topic, let us remember to approach it with an open mind and respect for others' opinions.


text: Based on the success of the initial 10-year award, the ultimate goals of this COBRE renewal application are to complete the establishment at Dartmouth of a nationally recognized Center for Molecular, Cellular, and Translational Immunological Research, and to transition this COBRE Center for Immunological Research (COBRE-CIR) to an infrastructure-based, freestanding (from COBRE funding), sustainable center in five years. With the foundation of a long-standing Immunology Program, which has now been substantially enhanced by COBRE support, this proposal takes advantage of a highly interactive core of collaborative faculty at Dartmouth Medical School (DMS) and Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC). With this expanded investigator base, a Phase III COBRE award will provide the resources to build the needed infrastructure to sustain the COBRE-CIR, further grow the Program, and facilitate inter-disciplinary basic science to translational immunological research. This infrastructure will include the continued mentored development of our immunological faculty, especially those investigators previously supported by COBRE;expansion of the COBRE Cores and their full integration with existing complementary cores and shared services at DMS/DHMC, particularly the Norris Cotton Cancer Center and the other Immunology and "Lung Biology" COBREs at Dartmouth and the University of Vermont;and an enhanced Pilot Project Program with targeting to mentored, collaborative, and/or translational/human systems research. Together with substantive Institutional commitment by DMS/DHMC, there is confidence that the strong existing cadre of investigators, already expanded and matured by the COBRE mechanism, can be further developed to complete the formation of a sustainable Center for Immunological Research that is grounded in excellent basic science investigation, embraces a translational approach to promote bidirectional bench-to-bedside application of hypothesis-driven research, and has a regional, if not also national, impact.

Lesson: Introduction to Immunological Research

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Immunology is the study of the immune system, which is the body's defense against infections and diseases. The immune system is made up of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body. In this lesson, we will learn about the basic principles of immunological research and the role of the immune system in maintaining health.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider a real-world scenario. Suppose you have a cut on your finger that becomes infected with bacteria. Your immune system responds by sending white blood cells to the site of the infection. These white blood cells release chemicals that kill the bacteria and prevent them from spreading. The immune system also makes antibodies that can recognize and neutralize the bacteria, preventing them from causing illness.

## Section 3: Mathematical Abstractions

We can use mathematical models to understand how the immune system works. For example, we can model the interactions between different types of white blood cells and the bacteria they target. We can also use mathematical equations to describe how the number of white blood cells and antibodies changes over time as the immune system responds to an infection.

## Glossary:
- Immune system: The body's defense against infections and diseases.
- White blood cells: Cells that are part of the immune system and help fight infections.
- Antibodies: Proteins produced by the immune system that can recognize and neutralize pathogens.
- Pathogens: Organisms that cause disease.

## Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the basics of immunological research and how the immune system works to protect the body. We also explored practical examples and mathematical abstractions related to immunological research. By understanding these concepts, we can better appreciate the importance of immunological research in maintaining health and preventing disease.

Drumm Battery Train

The Drumm Battery Train was a battery electric multiple unit developed in the 1930s which ran successfully in service on the Dublin to  route.  The train's batteries were charged via an overhead pickup at the turnaround station.

The train was a successful implementation of the battery developed by Dr James J. Drumm.

Background

Dr James J. Drumm developed the traction battery in the late 1920s and was supported by the Government as a means of using the excess electricity generated by the Shannon electrification scheme.

Prototype
A prototype was developed by converting petrol railcar 386 to Drumm traction Battery operation.

Construction
Unit A was constructed at Inchicore railway works in 1931 shortly followed by unit B.

Units C and D were constructed in 1938.

Performance
The units had a maximum operating range of  as demonstrated by a test run to  in 1932.   The recharge time was about 1 minute for each mile to be covered, that is about 15 minutes for Dublin to Bray which could be covered in about 20 minutes nonstop.  The geared maximum design speed of units C and D were  though  was touched on an inaugural run and even  has been claimed in service.

Trials
Several inaugural runs were held in late 1931 including a trip with President Cosgrave on 2 December 1931.

Service
Units A and B were in service from 1932 to 1949, being joined by units C and D in 1939, though the later units were not as successful as hoped.  The Drumm Battery Trains were especially useful in the coal shortages of the early 1940s however were restricted by electricity supply shortages of 1949.

Withdrawal
The units were withdrawn in 1949 due to the batteries becoming life expired and cheaper alternatives available. Their batteries and electrical equipment were removed and they continued in service as ordinary hauled carriages until 1955. They were stored on a siding at Foxrock until being scrapped.

Incidents
At about 22:00 on 25 June 1935 the Drumm Battery "A" train collided about  south of Dún Laoghaire with a collapsed wall resulting from a burst storm sewer during a storm and associated heavy rain.  There were two fires in the battery chambers with arcing and considerable heat generated but only charring to the coach body.

Models
A handbuilt model of the Drumm Train is in the Fry Model Railway collection.  The model correctly depicts the unit articulated bogie however the front end cab modelling would seem to be proposal for the C and D units but not the actual design used.  This is reasonable as Cyril Fry the creator was a draughtsman at Inchicore Works where the units were designed and constructed and would have had access to such drawings.

Lesson: Introduction to Electric Trains

## Chapter 1: What are Electric Trains?

Electric trains are powered by electricity instead of diesel or steam. They use an electric motor to convert electric energy into mechanical energy, which drives the wheels and makes the train move.

## Chapter 2: Why Use Electric Trains?

Electric trains have several advantages over diesel or steam trains. They are more efficient, produce fewer emissions, and require less maintenance. They also provide a smoother ride and can accelerate faster.

## Chapter 3: How do Electric Trains Work?

Electric trains use a system called "electrification" to get power. This involves installing overhead wires or rails that carry an electric current. The train collects this current with a pantograph or trolley pole, which then powers the electric motor.

## Chapter 4: The Drumm Battery Train

The Drumm Battery Train was an electric train developed in the 1930s that used a battery to store energy. This allowed the train to operate without needing to be connected to the electrification system. The batteries were charged while the train was parked at the turnaround station.

## Chapter 5: How did the Drumm Battery Train Work?

The Drumm Battery Train used a system called "regenerative braking" to charge the batteries. When the train slowed down or stopped, the motors acted as generators and produced electricity that was stored in the batteries.

## Chapter 6: The Success of the Drumm Battery Train

The Drumm Battery Train was a successful implementation of the battery developed by Dr James J. Drumm. It ran successfully in service on the Dublin to  route and proved to be efficient, clean, and reliable.

## Chapter 7: Conclusion

Understanding how electric trains work, including the Drumm Battery Train, is important for understanding the history of transportation and the advancements made in technology. By studying this topic, we can learn about the benefits of electric trains and how they have evolved over time. We can also appreciate the ingenuity of those who developed these systems and the impact they have had on society.

Depending on the turn of a card, they can have their hopes crushed, or their outlook on life can soar. But at the heart of it…it's the cards creating that magic, not you. You are merely the messenger. And like most messengers, you will often get shot (hopefully only figuratively) when things don’t go the player's way.. Otherwise, you have zippo in terms of power. You are told what tables to work, when to work them, and for how long. The way in which you must deal each game is exacting and demanding, and there are cameras everywhere you look that are recording your every action and making sure your performance is up to snuff.

As for the ruling BJP-Shiromani Akali Dal alliance in Punjab, Shah said “the alliance is not an ordinary coalition but a symbol of secularism”. Reacting to Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s question on the Narendra Modi government’s achievements, Shah said: “The present NDA government has given a corruption-free government compared with the earlier UPA government that is notorious for Rs 12 lakh crore scams.”

He said the opposition parties and leaders were rattled by the September 28-29 surgical strikes on the country’s enemies across the Line of Control as well as the November 8 demonetisation to expose black money. The SAD-BJP government is in power in Punjab since 2007.

Lesson: The Importance of Secularism in Politics

Introduction:
In recent years, the concept of secularism has become increasingly important in politics. Secularism refers to the separation of religion and state, ensuring that the government remains neutral towards all religions and does not favor one over another. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of secularism in politics and its role in maintaining peace and harmony among citizens.

Section 1: What is Secularism?

Secularism is a political concept that promotes the separation of religion and state. It ensures that the government does not favor any particular religion or religious group, and treats all citizens equally regardless of their beliefs. Secularism also prevents the government from using religion as a tool to gain political power or influence.

Section 2: Why is Secularism Important?

Secularism is important because it helps to maintain peace and harmony among citizens. When a government is secular, it treats all citizens equally and does not favor one group over another. This prevents conflicts based on religious differences and ensures that everyone is treated fairly.

Section 3: Examples of Secularism in Politics

One example of secularism in politics is the United States Constitution, which separates church and state. This means that the government cannot endorse or favor one religion over another, and citizens are free to practice their religion without interference from the government. Another example is India, where the Constitution mandates secularism and prohibits the use of religion for political purposes.

Section 4: Practice Questions

1. What is the definition of secularism?
2. Why is secularism important in politics?
3. Can you give an example of a secular government?

Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, secularism is an important concept in politics that promotes equality and fairness among citizens. It ensures that the government remains neutral towards all religions and does not favor one group over another. By practicing secularism, governments can create a peaceful and harmonious society where everyone is treated fairly.

Q:

Is it possible to make an array of objects in Ruby on Rails ?

I want to create a temporary array of objects in Ruby on Rails so I can save some data, and subsequently print it. I know, it sounds weird, but it will make sense in the grander scheme of what I am trying to do !
Here is my code so far:
  <% peopleArray = Array.new %>
  <% familyArray = Array.new %>
  <% friendsArray = Array.new %>

  <% @subject.list_people.each do |people| %>
    <% people.people_family.each do |family| %>
      <% family.find_friends.each do |friends| %>
        <% peopleArray << people %>
        <% familyArray << family %>
        <% friendsArray << friends %>
      <% end %>
    <% end %>
 <% end %>

Instead of pushing these entire objects into separate arrays, I would like to select one field from each of these three objects, make a new object out of this, and insert it into an array. So each object in the array will have 3 attributes, and I will then be able to sort by one.
Is this possible, given that all array in Ruby are just arrays of objects, from what I understand?
I have been playing around with this for a little while, trying to learn ROR, trying to massage the data into the format I want, and not gotten anywhere.
Each object, people, family and friends has an attribute I want to save.
Let's say each object has a field, "name", and I want to add that to a new object. How can I do this? Here's an attempt with psuedocode to show what I wish to achieve. Is is possible?
  myArray = Array.new //create array

  <% @subject.list_people.each do |people| %>
    <% people.people_family.each do |family| %>
      <% family.find_friends.each do |friends| %>

       myObj = new Object //create object

        <% myObj.name1 = people['name'].first %>
        <% myObj.name2 = family['name'].first %>
        <% myObj.name3 = friends['name'].first %>
        <% myArray << myObj %>
      <% end %>
    <% end %>
 <% end %>
    <% myArray.sort(name1) %> //Sort the list based on field name1.

Apologies if any of this is obvious, I have done a lot of research not been able to make much headway so I hope this post is allowed here.

A:

For your "Object", you may want to use a Hash or a Struct. But, go with a Hash.
 myArray = []

  <% @subject.list_people.each do |people| %>
    <% people.people_family.each do |family| %>
      <% family.find_friends.each do |friends| %>

       myObj = {}

        <% myObj['name1'] = people['name'].first %>
        <% myObj['name2'] = family['name'].first %>
        <% myObj['name3'] = friends['name'].first %>

        <% myArray << myObj %>
      <% end %>
    <% end %>
  <% end %>
  <% myArray.sort_by! { |obj| obj['name1'] } %> //Sort the list based on field name1.

textbook:
Yes, it is possible to make an array of objects in Ruby on Rails. In fact, you can create an array of any type of objects in Ruby on Rails.
To create an array of objects, you can use the `Array` class in Ruby. Here's an example:
```ruby
array = Array.new
array << Object.new
```
In this example, we create an empty array using the `Array.new` method. Then, we create a new object using the `Object.new` method and add it to the array using the `<<` operator.
To select a field from an object, you can use the `select` method. Here's an example:
```ruby
object = Object.new
object.field = "value"
array << object.select { |obj| obj.field == "value" }
```
In this example, we create a new object with a `field` attribute set to "value". We then use the `select` method to filter the array to only include objects with a `field` attribute equal to "value". Finally, we add this filtered array to our original array using the `<<` operator.
To insert an object into an array, you can use the `push` method. Here's an example:
```ruby
object = Object.new
array.push(object)
```
In this example, we create a new object using the `Object.new` method. We then use the `push` method to add this object to the end of the array.
To sort an array of objects by a specific field, you can use the `sort_by` method. Here's an example:
```ruby
array.sort_by! { |obj| obj.field }
```
In this example, we use the `sort_by` method to sort the array based on the `field` attribute of each object. The `!` at the end of the method call makes the sort permanent, meaning that the array will remain sorted even after new objects are added.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.


text: First and foremost, this is a superbly researched and entertaining biography of Howard Thurston. It’s fascinating to read the story of a magician whose life and career parallels Houdini’s. (It’s also sad to move with Thurston beyond 1926 and wonder what could have been.) I’ll leave it to others to review the book properly (Genii is preparing a review for an upcoming issue), but know that once again Jim Steinmeyer has produced a MUST BUY book about magic history.. Now, as far as the “versus Houdini” aspect to the book.... I suspect this subtitle is just a bit of thematic misdirection. Yes, Houdini was well-known for his ferocious battles with fellow conjures (those who stole his act or spoke ill of him in public), but aside from a perceived slight in Chicago and one testy encounter at an SAM meeting, Howard Thurston wasn’t one of them.. The Last Greatest Magician in the World: Howard Thurston versus Houdini & the Battles of the American Wizards will be released on February 3, 2011. Pre-order now on Amazon
