Another example would be if you wanted multiple workers handling the same processing queue. You could have each worker handle 10000 records by setting the appropriate `:start` option on each worker.
+**`:end_at`**
+
+Similar to the `:start` option, `:end_at` allows you to configure the last ID of the sequence whenever the highest ID is not the one you need.
+This would be useful, for example, if you wanted to run a batch process, using a subset of records based on `:start` and `:end_at`
+
+For example, to send newsletters only to users with the primary key starting from 2000 upto 10000 and to retrieve them in batches of 1000:
+
+```ruby
+User.find_each(start: 2000, end_at: 10000, batch_size: 5000) do |user|
+ NewsMailer.weekly(user).deliver_now
+end
+```

#### `find_in_batches`
The `find_in_batches` method is similar to `find_each`, since both retrieve batches of records. The difference is that `find_in_batches` yields _batches_ to the block as an array of models, instead of individually. The following example will yield to the supplied block an array of up to 1000 invoices at a time, with the final block containing any remaining invoices:

### Interpolation
In many cases you want to abstract your translations so that **variables can be interpolated into the translation**. For this reason the I18n API provides an interpolation feature.

Rails by default automatically loads all fixtures from the `test/fixtures` directory for your models and controllers test. Loading involves three steps:

+1. Remove any existing data from the table corresponding to the fixture
+2. Load the fixture data into the table
+3. Dump the fixture data into a method in case you want to access it directly
TIP: In order to remove existing data from the database, Rails tries to disable referential integrity triggers (like foreign keys and check constraints). If you are getting annoying permission errors on running tests, make sure the database user has privilege to disable these triggers in testing environment. (In PostgreSQL, only superusers can disable all triggers. Read more about PostgreSQL permissions [here](http://blog.endpoint.com/2012/10/postgres-system-triggers-error.html))

+### Foreign Key Support
+
+The migration DSL has been expanded to support foreign key definitions. If
+you've been using the Foreigner gem, you might want to consider removing it.
+Note that the foreign key support of Rails is a subset of Foreigner. This means
+that not every Foreigner definition can be fully replaced by it's Rails
+migration DSL counterpart.
+
+The migration procedure is as follows:
+
+1. remove `gem "foreigner"` from the Gemfile.
+2. run `bundle install`.
+3. run `bin/rake db:schema:dump`.
+4. make sure that `db/schema.rb` contains every foreign key definition with
+the necessary options.
