As part of closing the channel, all buffered output is flushed to the channel's output device, any buffered input is discarded, the underlying operating system resource is closed and channelId becomes unavailable for future use.
If the channel is blocking, the command does not return until all output is flushed. If the channel is nonblocking and there is unflushed output, the channel remains open and the command returns immediately; output will be flushed in the background and the channel will be closed when all the flushing is complete.
If channelId is a blocking channel for a command pipeline then chan close waits for the child processes to complete.
If the channel is shared between interpreters, then chan close makes channelId unavailable in the invoking interpreter but has no other effect until all of the sharing interpreters have closed the channel. When the last interpreter in which the channel is registered invokes chan close (or close), the cleanup actions described above occur. See the interp command for a description of channel sharing.
Channels are automatically closed when an interpreter is destroyed and when the process exits. Channels are switched to blocking mode, to ensure that all output is correctly flushed before the process exits.
The command returns an empty string, and may generate an error if an error occurs while flushing output. If a command in a command pipeline created with open returns an error, chan close generates an error (similar to the exec command.)
If no optionName or value arguments are supplied, the command returns a list containing alternating option names and values for the channel. If optionName is supplied but no value then the command returns the current value of the given option. If one or more pairs of optionName and value are supplied, the command sets each of the named options to the corresponding value; in this case the return value is an empty string.
The options described below are supported for all channels. In addition, each channel type may add options that only it supports. See the manual entry for the command that creates each type of channels for the options that that specific type of channel supports. For example, see the manual entry for the socket command for its additional options.
If a file contains pure binary data (for instance, a JPEG image), the encoding for the channel should be configured to be binary. Tcl will then assign no interpretation to the data in the file and simply read or write raw bytes. The Tcl binary command can be used to manipulate this byte-oriented data. It is usually better to set the -translation option to binary when you want to transfer binary data, as this turns off the other automatic interpretations of the bytes in the stream as well.
The default encoding for newly opened channels is the same platform- and locale-dependent system encoding used for interfacing with the operating system, as returned by encoding system.
The value associated with -translation is a single item for read-only and write-only channels. The value is a two-element list for read-write channels; the read translation mode is the first element of the list, and the write translation mode is the second element. As a convenience, when setting the translation mode for a read-write channel you can specify a single value that will apply to both reading and writing. When querying the translation mode of a read-write channel, a two-element list will always be returned. The following values are currently supported:
The chan copy command transfers data from inputChan until end of file or size bytes have been transferred. If no -size argument is given, then the copy goes until end of file. All the data read from inputChan is copied to outputChan. Without the -command option, chan copy blocks until the copy is complete and returns the number of bytes written to outputChan.
The -command argument makes chan copy work in the background. In this case it returns immediately and the callback is invoked later when the copy completes. The callback is called with one or two additional arguments that indicates how many bytes were written to outputChan. If an error occurred during the background copy, the second argument is the error string associated with the error. With a background copy, it is not necessary to put inputChan or outputChan into non-blocking mode; the chan copy command takes care of that automatically. However, it is necessary to enter the event loop by using the vwait command or by using Tk.
You are not allowed to do other I/O operations with inputChan or outputChan during a background chan copy. If either inputChan or outputChan get closed while the copy is in progress, the current copy is stopped and the command callback is not made. If inputChan is closed, then all data already queued for outputChan is written out.
Note that inputChan can become readable during a background copy. You should turn off any chan event or fileevent handlers during a background copy so those handlers do not interfere with the copy. Any I/O attempted by a chan event or fileevent handler will get a “channel busy” error.
Chan copy translates end-of-line sequences in inputChan and outputChan according to the -translation option for these channels (see chan configure above). The translations mean that the number of bytes read from inputChan can be different than the number of bytes written to outputChan. Only the number of bytes written to outputChan is reported, either as the return value of a synchronous chan copy or as the argument to the callback for an asynchronous chan copy.
Chan copy obeys the encodings and character translations configured for the channels. This means that the incoming characters are converted internally first UTF-8 and then into the encoding of the channel chan copy writes to (see chan configure above for details on the -encoding and -translation options). No conversion is done if both channels are set to encoding binary and have matching translations. If only the output channel is set to encoding binary the system will write the internal UTF-8 representation of the incoming characters. If only the input channel is set to encoding binary the system will assume that the incoming bytes are valid UTF-8 characters and convert them according to the output encoding. The behaviour of the system for bytes which are not valid UTF-8 characters is undefined in this case.
The argument mode specifies if the new channel is opened for reading, writing, or both. It has to be a list containing any of the strings “read” or “write”. The list must have at least one element, as a channel you can neither write to nor read from makes no sense. The handler command for the new channel must support the chosen mode, or an error is thrown.
The command prefix is executed in the global namespace, at the top of call stack, following the appending of arguments as described in the reflectedchan manual page. Command resolution happens at the time of the call. Renaming the command, or destroying it means that the next call of a handler method may fail, causing the channel command invoking the handler to fail as well. Depending on the subcommand being invoked, the error message may not be able to explain the reason for that failure.
Every channel created with this subcommand knows which interpreter it was created in, and only ever executes its handler command in that interpreter, even if the channel was shared with and/or was moved into a different interpreter. Each reflected channel also knows the thread it was created in, and executes its handler command only in that thread, even if the channel was moved into a different thread. To this end all invocations of the handler are forwarded to the original thread by posting special events to it. This means that the original thread (i.e. the thread that executed the chan create command) must have an active event loop, i.e. it must be able to process such events. Otherwise the thread sending them will block indefinitely. Deadlock may occur.
Note that this permits the creation of a channel whose two endpoints live in two different threads, providing a stream-oriented bridge between these threads. In other words, we can provide a way for regular stream communication between threads instead of having to send commands.
When a thread or interpreter is deleted, all channels created with this subcommand and using this thread/interpreter as their computing base are deleted as well, in all interpreters they have been shared with or moved into, and in whatever thread they have been transfered to. While this pulls the rug out under the other thread(s) and/or interpreter(s), this cannot be avoided. Trying to use such a channel will cause the generation of a regular error about unknown channel handles.
This subcommand is safe and made accessible to safe interpreters. While it arranges for the execution of arbitrary Tcl code the system also makes sure that the code is always executed within the safe interpreter.
A file event handler is a binding between a channel and a script, such that the script is evaluated whenever the channel becomes readable or writable. File event handlers are most commonly used to allow data to be received from another process on an event-driven basis, so that the receiver can continue to interact with the user or with other channels while waiting for the data to arrive. If an application invokes chan gets or chan read on a blocking channel when there is no input data available, the process will block; until the input data arrives, it will not be able to service other events, so it will appear to the user to “freeze up”. With chan event, the process can tell when data is present and only invoke chan gets or chan read when they will not block.
A channel is considered to be readable if there is unread data available on the underlying device. A channel is also considered to be readable if there is unread data in an input buffer, except in the special case where the most recent attempt to read from the channel was a chan gets call that could not find a complete line in the input buffer. This feature allows a file to be read a line at a time in nonblocking mode using events. A channel is also considered to be readable if an end of file or error condition is present on the underlying file or device. It is important for script to check for these conditions and handle them appropriately; for example, if there is no special check for end of file, an infinite loop may occur where script reads no data, returns, and is immediately invoked again.
A channel is considered to be writable if at least one byte of data can be written to the underlying file or device without blocking, or if an error condition is present on the underlying file or device. Note that client sockets opened in asynchronous mode become writable when they become connected or if the connection fails.
Event-driven I/O works best for channels that have been placed into nonblocking mode with the chan configure command. In blocking mode, a chan puts command may block if you give it more data than the underlying file or device can accept, and a chan gets or chan read command will block if you attempt to read more data than is ready; no events will be processed while the commands block. In nonblocking mode chan puts, chan read, and chan gets never block.
The script for a file event is executed at global level (outside the context of any Tcl procedure) in the interpreter in which the chan event command was invoked. If an error occurs while executing the script then the command registered with interp bgerror is used to report the error. In addition, the file event handler is deleted if it ever returns an error; this is done in order to prevent infinite loops due to buggy handlers.
If the channel is in blocking mode the command does not return until all the buffered output has been flushed to the channel. If the channel is in nonblocking mode, the command may return before all buffered output has been flushed; the remainder will be flushed in the background as fast as the underlying file or device is able to absorb it.
If an end-of-file occurs while part way through reading a line, the partial line will be returned (or written into varName). When varName is not specified, the end-of-file case can be distinguished from an empty line using the chan eof command, and the partial-line-but-nonblocking case can be distinguished with the chan blocked command.
Note that this subcommand can only be used with channel handles that were created/opened by chan create. All other channels will cause this subcommand to report an error.
As only the Tcl level of a channel, i.e. its command handler, should post events to it we also restrict the usage of this command to the interpreter that created the channel. In other words, posting events to a reflected channel from an interpreter that does not contain it's implementation is not allowed. Attempting to post an event from any other interpreter will cause this subcommand to report an error.
Another restriction is that it is not possible to post events that the I/O core has not registered an interest in. Trying to do so will cause the method to throw an error. See the command handler method watch described in reflectedchan, the document specifying the API of command handlers for reflected channels.
This command is safe and made accessible to safe interpreters. It can trigger the execution of chan event handlers, whether in the current interpreter or in other interpreters or other threads, even where the event is posted from a safe interpreter and listened for by a trusted interpreter. Chan event handlers are always executed in the interpreter that set them up.
Newline characters in the output are translated by chan puts to platform-specific end-of-line sequences according to the currently configured value of the -translation option for the channel (for example, on PCs newlines are normally replaced with carriage-return-linefeed sequences; see chan configure above for details).
Tcl buffers output internally, so characters written with chan puts may not appear immediately on the output file or device; Tcl will normally delay output until the buffer is full or the channel is closed. You can force output to appear immediately with the chan flush command.
When the output buffer fills up, the chan puts command will normally block until all the buffered data has been accepted for output by the operating system. If channelId is in nonblocking mode then the chan puts command will not block even if the operating system cannot accept the data. Instead, Tcl continues to buffer the data and writes it in the background as fast as the underlying file or device can accept it. The application must use the Tcl event loop for nonblocking output to work; otherwise Tcl never finds out that the file or device is ready for more output data. It is possible for an arbitrarily large amount of data to be buffered for a channel in nonblocking mode, which could consume a large amount of memory. To avoid wasting memory, nonblocking I/O should normally be used in an event-driven fashion with the chan event command (do not invoke chan puts unless you have recently been notified via a file event that the channel is ready for more output data).
If channelId is in nonblocking mode, chan read may not read as many characters as requested: once all available input has been read, the command will return the data that is available rather than blocking for more input. If the channel is configured to use a multi-byte encoding, then there may actually be some bytes remaining in the internal buffers that do not form a complete character. These bytes will not be returned until a complete character is available or end-of-file is reached. The -nonewline switch is ignored if the command returns before reaching the end of the file.
Chan read translates end-of-line sequences in the input into newline characters according to the -translation option for the channel (see chan configure above for a discussion on the ways in which chan configure will alter input).
When reading from a serial port, most applications should configure the serial port channel to be nonblocking, like this:
chan configure channelId -blocking 0.Then chan read behaves much like described above. Note that most serial ports are comparatively slow; it is entirely possible to get a readable event for each character read from them. Care must be taken when using chan read on blocking serial ports:
The origin argument defaults to start.
Chan seek flushes all buffered output for the channel before the command returns, even if the channel is in nonblocking mode. It also discards any buffered and unread input. This command returns an empty string. An error occurs if this command is applied to channels whose underlying file or device does not support seeking.
Note that offset values are byte offsets, not character offsets. Both chan seek and chan tell operate in terms of bytes, not characters, unlike chan read.
set f [open somefile.txt r+] chan configure $f -encoding cp1252 set offset 0 # Search for string "FOOBAR" in the file while {[chan gets $f line] >= 0} { set idx [string first FOOBAR $line] if {$idx > -1} { # Found it; rewrite line chan seek $f [expr {$offset + $idx}] chan puts -nonewline $f BARFOO # Skip to end of following line, and truncate chan gets $f chan gets $f chan truncate $f # Stop searching the file now break } # Save offset of start of next line for later set offset [chan tell $f] } chan close $f


I understand that this forum is to discuss the effects as well as preparation of psychoactives. However, given the simplicity of methcathinone (cat from here on) synthesis, I will include my “recipe,” as well as effects.
Cat is ephedrine (or pseudoephedrine) whose -OH group has been oxidized to a =O group. Simple. So is the preparation of the latter. Here’s my (very illegal) story.
In my room next to my computer while chatting on instant messenger, I mixed roughly 1g of pure (-) ephedrine, about 1g of KMnO4, 700 mL tap water, and about 4 mL of glacial acetic acid in a Nalgene bottle. None of these ingredients so far are too difficult to come up with. With gentle stirring, the ephedrine dissolved completely in the water/GAA solution. The KMnO4 turned the solution a brilliant dark purple color. I stirred the contents every minute or so for 30 minutes by swirling the bottle.
After about 10 minutes, the solution was precipitating a brownish substance and was purple-brown. Yay! A reaction! (Easiest reaction ever.) The solid was presumably MnO2. At t=30 minutes, sodium sulfite (NOT sulfate) was added and stirred until the solution turned almost completely clear (this is where the excess manganese oxides are reduced, where they will reenter the aqueous solution.) Next, concentrated NaOH was added to precipitate the product. A yellowish white substance crashed out.
I then added some dichloromethane (DCM), about 100 mL.  Extracted the aqueous phase 3 times more, and combined all DCM. I washed it with concentrated sodium bicarbonate, making sure to remove all visible brownish gunk (which appeared after I added the NaOH initially). The mostly clear DCM was sucked away from any remaining water and poured into a pyrex baking dish. Yay for a well stocked kitchen!
I added a couple drops of glacial acetic acid to neutralize any bicarbonate and theoretically make the acetate salt of the Cat.
OK. Next I used a blow dryer to evaporate all DCM and bit of water. Left with a bright yellow paste that tastes like acetic acid and bitterness, and smelled strangely sweet (this smell is an indication of Cat).
At 9:00 pm I swallowed a piece of the crystalline yellowish stuff about half the size of a pea (note: eyeballing dosages is dangerous! I got lucky and didn’t die). At 20 minutes, I felt stimulated. My dreary day was finally picking up, and I felt like talking to my roommate and friends who were online. I also consumed 2 mL of 1,4-butanediol at this point so I would not get too gittery, just in case.
At about t+30 minutes I started walking to a friend’s apartment. I felt light, energetic, and slightly euphoric. I was not familiar with the effect of any illicit stimulants, so I would describe the feeling as that of ephedrine without the nervousness and with euphoria. I could have danced, gone running, read a book, or watched a movie, all with ease. Talking to my friend I found myself stumbling over my words because I was trying to get out too many words at once. Though my mind was very alert, I didn’t feel like I would have an “edge” if I tried to study, like I hear about Adderall or Ritalin.
It is now t+4 hours and I am still quite awake though it is 2 hours past my regular bed time. I am not feeling so euphoric anymore. The unpleasant feeling in my limbs tells me I could imagine the use of this drug becoming a compulsion. I will avoid using it again.  Oh well; all in the name of fun and pseudo-science! Cheers!

As a former Marine, I strive to be challenged. If i fail the challenge, I'll adapt and search for my faults until i can accomplish the challenge.
Some facts and experiences
My Top 10 Hobbies
The first time I put myself to the test was in bootcamp in 2009. The economy had crashed and my family was scattered to the winds. While I was in bootcamp I kept telling myself to be like my friends that had already made it through. I would think of them and hear my other friends saying "haha we knew you couldn't make it". It could be my desire to be accepted in society or my tendency to avoid conflict but in the end I told myself i wouldn't be weak. I never gave up.
The second time I was pushed to my limits was in 2013. I was in my first amateur fight in Muay Thai and matched against my close friend. He took it as an opportunity to hit me as hard as he could. I had to look into myself to see him as the enemy for the meantime and find a solution. I found his weak spot and won the match by first round TKO. That gave me a new perspective to solving a problem without bias.
The third even took place in my own head. I was on my last deployment with the worst leaders and coworkers anyone could ask for. Unfortunately, rank hierarchy prevented me from giving them their due justice and I had to find a way of coping with it. That's when I found poetry. I was able to write down everything I had bottled up and over the years found better ways to make it all sound better. Poetry helps me remain calm and keep my emotions to myself so I can maintain a professional profile and get a job done.


This page is still unfinished. Much of this needs to be moved or at least copied to a VelocityView page, as it applies to anything using a VelocityView instance under the covers (including the VelocityViewTag). Help is welcome!
A typical application use-case for the VelocityViewServlet is to provide the view rendering layer for a servlet-based web application framework. The VelocityStruts subproject uses the approach to bring Velocity templates to the Struts 1 application framework.
The VelocityViewServlet needs to be installed into your servlet container so it can handle all request for *.vm (velocity template) files. There are only two additional configuration files, and they are shown in detail below.
The servlet configuration (web.xml) must be modified to include a reference to the VelocityViewServlet (or subclass thereof) which will perform the rendering. All *.vm files are mapped to this servlet which will populate the 'context' with Request, Session, and Application scopes plus any additional tools specified by your configuration (or provided as defaults). The servlet will use this contextual information and the Velocity Engine to render the template file.
Note: Additional functionality can be achieved through subclassing the VelocityViewServlet, and will be discussed further in the VelocityLayoutServlet page.
web.xml
<!-- Define Velocity template handler --> <servlet> <servlet-name>velocity</servlet-name> <servlet-class> org.apache.velocity.tools.view.VelocityViewServlet </servlet-class> <!-- Unless you plan to put your tools.xml and velocity.properties under different folders or give them different names, then these two init-params are unnecessary. The VelocityViewServlet will automatically look for these files in the following locations. --> <init-param> <param-name>org.apache.velocity.toolbox</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/tools.xml</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>org.apache.velocity.properties</param-name> <param-value>/WEB-INF/velocity.properties</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <!-- Map *.vm files to Velocity --> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>velocity</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.vm</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
Velocity configuration is optional, and for most applications the defaults will work fine. The velocity.properties file contains settings that affect logging, encoding, and macro settings.
The default configuration specifies the location of a 'global' Velocimacro template. This file can contain macros which will be made available to all templates.
The location of the configuration file may be specified in web.xml, but it is recommended the file be placed inside the hidden WEB-INF directory of the web application and named 'velocity.properties' which is where the VelocityViewServlet will look for it in the absence of any location specified in the web.xml. An example configuration file is included with the distribution.
Please see the Velocity User's Guide for more information on Velocity configuration.
velocimacro.library = /WEB-INF/VM_global_library.vm velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline = true velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline.to.replace.global = false velocimacro.permissions.allow.inline.local.scope = false velocimacro.context.localscope = false
The toolbox file (located at /WEB-INF/tools.xml by convention), maps out the "tools" and data we want available for our templates to use. It's easier than that sounds.
Think about asking our friend Jon to grab us a 'wrench' from a real toolbox. Jon just needs to know which wrench we want (metric, pipe, crescent etc,). He doesn't need to know what the wrench does nor what we are planning to do with it.
The Velocity Toolbox works the same way, we must only specify
which tool we want, and then the Velocity engine takes
care of the rest by making any public method available to the
template. For example, from the definitions below, the template
could call $wrench.size
.
PipeWrench.java
public class PipeWrench { public String getSize() { return "Large Pipe Wrench!"; } }
tools.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> <tools> <toolbox scope="application"> <tool key="wrench" class="PipeWrench"/> </toolbox> </tools>
Toolbox Scopes
You may have noticed that toolbox support built into VelocityView also provides support for specifying the scope of your toolbox with regards to the servlet environment. Toolboxes may be placed within the request, session, or application scopes of your web app.
The scope that you set for your toolbox will determine the lifecycle of the tools within it:
Tool Path Restrictions
You can specify a restriction on the request URIs for which the tool
will be available in the context using the "restrictTo" attribute of
your tool configuration.
It can be an exact request path (matching one page) or end with the
*
wildcard, meaning that incoming request paths need only
start with the provided value for the tool to be available.
For instance:
<tool restrictTo="/catalog/*" class="com.mycompany.tools.CatalogTool"/>
You may have noticed that this example tool configuration doesn't have a "key" attribute. This is because VelocityTools 2 honors the [Key]Tool naming convention. So a tool with the simple name of "CatalogTool" will automatically be given the key "catalog" unless another key is specified in the tool configuration or using the DefaultKey annotation on the class.
Tool Properties
The toolbox support built into VelocityTools also provides
support for passing configuration properties to tools.
If a tool has a
public void configure(java.util.Map params)
method,
then VelocityTools will pass that method a map of all properties
set on the tool configuration, the toolbox to which it belongs and
properties set for the whole configuration.
VelocityTools will also use Commmons-BeanUtils to set any or all of those same properties directly on the tool if their keys and types have a matching public set[Key](Type) method on that tool.
These things happen immediately after a tool instance is instantiated and before it is available to your templates. This gives much flexibility in designing and configuring your tools.
You can specify properties for your tools, toolboxes or all tools either as <property> tags or as attributes:
<tools foo="true"> <toolbox scope="application" someProperty="whatever"> <property key="bar">woogie</property> <tool key="myTool" class="com.foo.tools.MyTool"> <property name="my.parameter.name" value="my.parameter.value"/> </tool> </toolbox> </tools>
Static Data
In addition to specifiying arbitrary Java classes as tools to be automatically available to your templates, the toolbox support also includes the ability to specify arbitrary strings, booleans, numbers, lists of those, and even BeanUtils-convertable types to be automatically available in your templates. The format is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <tools> <data type="number" key="version" value="1.1"/> <data key="startdate" value="Mon Sep 17 10:08:03 PDT 2007" class="java.util.Date" converter="org.apache.commons.beanutils.locale.converters.DateLocaleConverter"/> <data type="boolean" key="isSimple" value="true"/> <data key="foo" value="this is foo."/> <data key="bar">this is bar.</data> <data type="list" key="dataKeys" value="version,date,isSimple,foo,bar,dataKeys,switches"/> <data type="list.boolean" key="switches" value="true,false,false,true"/> </tools>
As with your tools, your data will be exposed to your templates under the specified key (e.g. $version, $startdate, $isSimple, $foo, $bar, $dataKeys and $switches). Unlike tools, data does not go in a toolbox and is not scoped (as it is necessarily static).


a) Match Play. Double Match Point. How should Red play 51?
pips Red=125 White=98
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
b) Money Play. White owns a 2 cube. How should Red play 51?
Red must hit with the 1 in both variations. 8/3*/2 would be a quintuple blunder.
AT DMP you should be playing purely and maximising checker use. Gammons don’t matter, Prime vs. Prime theory says step to the edge of your opponent’s prime and hit him away from the edge of your prime. That points to 24/23*, 8/3* and indeed that is correct play by a long way.
For money gammons do count and here Red loses just enough gammons with 24/23*, 8/3* to give 24/23*, 7/2 the nod as the best play, but it is close and 24/23*, 8/3* is not an error.
Red must hit with the 1 in both variations. 8/3*/2 would be a quintuple blunder.

.map Method!
August 23, 2015
Last week I wroite a bit about arrays and hashes in Ruby. This week I'll be writing about enumerables which allow you to access, edit, add, and delete elements within hashes and arrays.
The .map method iterates through an object, and applies whatever commands you have in your block to each element.
my_array =[1,2,3]
double_array = my_array.map {|i| i*2} #> [2, 4, 6]
In the above example, we call the .map method on the array my_array.
Each object passted is temporarily assigned to the variable i, and the instructions in the block, which in this case are i*2, are applied.
You can check out my "Group Reserach Methods" challange from week 4 to see a usage of this method.

Deep Blue Sea (1999) Review by Brian Matherly *** out of *****
Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Saffron Burrows, Thomas Jane, Stellan Skarsgard, LL Cool J, Michael Rapaport Written by: Duncan Kennedy, Wayne Powers and Donna Powers Directed by: Renny Harlin Running Time: 105 minutes Date Reviewed: July 31, 1999
The second movie to come down the pike this year involving killer animals (the other being Lake Placid), Deep Blue Sea is definitely better than the other film but still seems flawed. When a research shark escapes from an offshore lab built inside an old German submarine base and attacks a boat, the corporation funding the shark project threatens to shut the scientist's lab down due to negative press. It turns out that the sharks are being harvested to help combat Alzheimer's Disease, and one of the head scientists (Saffron Burrows) makes a desperate plea to let the research continue. She is given the weekend to show results, and a liaison (played by Samuel L. Jackson) is sent along with her to report the findings.
I wish every scene in this movie could have been as cool as the scene where the shark propels the guy in the stretcher into the front glass of the lab, smashing the glass and flooding the room. Unfortunately, the movie ceases to become inventive after that. Sure there are a couple of plot twists that one doesn't see coming, but overall the film seems to be contrived. Scream 2 already brought up the point that African American cast members always seem to die early on in horror films, so do we really need to hear the same sentiment echoed by LL Cool J midway through this film?
Renny Harlin's direction is okay during the action scenes, but the editing of some of the comedic moments is poor. I'm not sure I would have laughed had they been edited better, but as they stand some of the jokes come off as awkward and stilted. We are supposed to find comic relief in LL Cool J's relationship with his insult spouting parrot, but one finds the parrot's demise in the maws of a shark funnier than any scene the parrot appears alive in.
Most of the film's filler cast is given the standard "I'm gonna die soon, so don't get too attached to me" characterization, so there's really no one to care about in the film. A relationship that forms between Burrows and her swarthy handyman/head diver/shark wrangler rings false, and Samuel L. Jackson's role (which I'm assuming was designed to be the "unknowledgeable new guy" character through which we, the audience, learn all the exposition) is relegated to being in awe of everything going on around him.
Thankfully, there is one redeeming scene (for me, anyway) where Burrows must remove her wet suit and use it to stand on, in her underwear, so she can avoid the electrical surge she is about to cause by throwing a live wire into the water in front of an advancing shark in order to kill it. Too bad there were no scenes involving the use of jet skis in the water flooded hallways of the undersea lab though. That's another sure-fire way to get on my good side. [R]

My name is Diya Patel, said as D-ya. I know its very cool name :)! I am a Computer Science major at Lewis University.Before I moved to Chicago I lived in Connecticut and New Jersey. My work experience is mostly in retail and food services so far. I have done an IT internship which something totally new for me. It's manufacturing company of all supplements(eg. proteins powders, creatine). And currently, I am a part of the Amazon Fresh Team. The internship was about Troubleshooting printers, computers, and server issues. Managing users and computer accounts in Active Directory and much more.....I am looking forward to improve on my technical knoweledge and skills. I have one sibling who graduated from Lewis University in December 2020. He plays a major role in my decision of chossing computer science. I live with my parents and my brother.
Weight lifting or weight training is my most favorite hobby. I started weight training in 2019. I joined gym to do cardio but once I got my hands on dumbells I fell in love with the feeling! I used to train six times a week. My journey since I started weight lifting has been magical! I have learned so much about myself. I have become mentally strong and positive. Being a full-time student and part-time job its hard to manage time and workout at the Gym. I try to make time and train at least three times a week.

6 Input data sets
Input data sets are used in mrgsolve
to allow the user to specify interventions and input data items.
Please see the mrgsolve
help topic ?exdatasets
for examples of all of the data sets discussed in this chapter. The example data sets are embedded in the mrgsolve
package and may be used at any time.
6.1 Overview
6.2 Event data sets (data
)
Event data sets are entered as data.frame
, with one event per row. Events may be observations, doses, or other type events. In mrgsolve
documentation, we refer to these data sets as data
or data_set
(after the function that is used to associate the data set with the model object prior to simulation).
Event data sets have several special column names that mrgsolve
is always aware of:
ID
the subject id. This id does not need to be unique in thedata_set
:mrgsolve
detects an new individual when the current value ofID
is different from the immediate preceeding value ofID
. However, we always recommend using uniqueID
.time
states the time of the data recordevid
is the event id indicator.evid
can take the values:- 0 = observation record
- 1 = dosing event (bolus or infusion)
- 2 = other type event
- 3 = system reset
- 4 = reset and dose
- 8 = replace the amount in the compartment with
amt
amt
the dose amount (ifevid==1
)cmt
the dosing compartment number. This may also be a character value naming the compartment namerate
if positive whenevid=1
, implements a zero-order infusion of durationamt/rate
ii
inter-dose interval;ii=24
means daily dosingaddl
additional doses; a non-zero value inaddl
requires non-zeroii
on the same recordss
steady state indicator; use 1 to implement steady-state dosing; 0 otherwise
In addition to these special column names, mrgsolve
will recognize columns in data_set
that have the same name as items in the parameter list (see 9.2.1 and 5.1). When mrgsolve
sees that the names match up, it will update the values of those matching names based on what it finds as it moves through the data set.
6.2.1 Two types of data_set
mrgsolve
distinguishes between two types of data sets: data sets that have at least one observation record (evid=0
) and data sets that have no records with evid=0
.
- Full data sets have a mix of observations and dosing events (likely, but not required). When
mrgsolve
finds one record withevid=0
, it assumes that ALL output observation times are to come from the data set. In this case the simulation output time grid discussed in 5.3 is ignored and only observations found in the data set appear in the simulated output. Use full data sets when you want a highly customized sampling schedule or you are working with a clinical data set. - Condensed data sets have no records with
evid=0
. In this case,mrgsolve
will fill the simulated output with observations at times specified by the output time grid ( section 5.3 and see section 10.3). These are very convenient to use because there is less data assembly burden and output data sets can easily be created with very dense sampling scheme or highly customised sampling schemes with very little work. Use a condensed data set when you want a uniform set of sampling times for all subjects in the data set.
Occassionally, we want to simulate from a clinical data set (with observation records as actually observed in a population of patients) but we also want to augment those observations with a regular sequence of times (for example, to make a smooth profile on a plot). In that case, you can set obsaug = TRUE
when calling mrgsim
.
For example:
data(exTheoph)
head(exTheoph)
. ID WT Dose time conc cmt amt evid
. 1 1 79.6 4.02 0.00 0.00 1 4.02 1
. 2 1 79.6 4.02 0.25 2.84 0 0.00 0
. 3 1 79.6 4.02 0.57 6.57 0 0.00 0
. 4 1 79.6 4.02 1.12 10.50 0 0.00 0
. 5 1 79.6 4.02 2.02 9.66 0 0.00 0
. 6 1 79.6 4.02 3.82 8.58 0 0.00 0
mod <- mrgsolve:::house()
out <-
mod %>%
data_set(exTheoph, ID==1) %>%
carry.out(a.u.g) %>%
obsaug %>%
mrgsim(end=24, delta=1)
out

. [34] 23.00 24.00 24.37
obsaug
requests that the data set be augmented with observations from the simulation time grid. We can optionally request an indicator called a.u.g
to appear in the output that takes value of 1 for augmented observations and 0 for observations from the data set.
6.2.2 Sorting requirements
The ID
s in the data set can appear in any order. However, an error will be generated if time
on any record is less that time
on the previous record within any ID
.
6.2.3 Creating data sets
The expand.ev
function is provided by mrgsolve
to help in creating data sets of a certain style. But any R
code that produces a valid data set is fine to use.
6.2.4 Example
To create a data set of 3 people each receiving 250 mg every 8 hours for 12 total doses:
data <- expand.ev(ID=1:3, amt=250, ii=8, addl=11)
data
. ID amt ii addl evid cmt time
. 1 1 250 8 11 1 1 0
. 2 2 250 8 11 1 1 0
. 3 3 250 8 11 1 1 0
Notice that expand.ev
assumes that time
is 0 and cmt
is 1. To dose as a 2-hour infusion into the second compartment use:
data <- expand.ev(ID=1:3, amt=250, rate=125, ii=8, addl=11, cmt=2)
data
. ID amt rate ii addl cmt evid time
. 1 1 250 125 8 11 2 1 0
. 2 2 250 125 8 11 2 1 0
. 3 3 250 125 8 11 2 1 0
Use data_set
to pass the data into the problem.
For example:
mod <- mrgsolve:::house()
mod %>%
data_set(data) %>%
mrgsim(end=240) %>%
plot(CP~time|factor(ID))
6.3 Individual data sets (idata
)
Individual data sets carry individual-level data. This individual data is used in several different ways:
- Individual-level parameters: Just prior to simulating any individual,
mrgsolve
checks the appropriate row inidata
(if supplied) for any columns with parameter names. If parameter names are found, the parameter list is updated and that update remains in effect for the duration of that individual’s data records. - Individual- or group-level designs: Each individual or group of individual may be assigned a different sampling design. For example, individuals in arm 1 may need to be simulated for 4 weeks whereas individuals in arm 2 may need to be simulated for 8 weeks.
idata
may be used to identify one of several sampling designs for each individual or group of individuals. - Individual-level compartment initialization: if a model has a compartment called
CMT
andmrgsolve
finds a column inidata
calledCMT_0
, the value ofCMT_0
will be used to initialize that compartment with, potentially a different value for each individual. Note that there are several other ways to initialize compartments detailed in 10.1.
idata_set
are entered as data.frame
with one unique ID
per row. In mrgsolve
documentation, we refer to individual data sets idata
or idata_set
to distinguish them from event data sets (see section 6.2).
An idata_set
looks like this:
data(exidata)
exidata
. ID CL VC KA KOUT IC50 FOO
. 1 1 1.050 47.80 0.8390 2.450 1.280 4
. 2 2 0.730 30.10 0.0684 2.510 1.840 6
. 3 3 2.820 23.80 0.1180 3.880 2.480 5
. 4 4 0.552 26.30 0.4950 1.180 0.977 2
. 5 5 0.483 4.36 0.1220 2.350 0.483 10
. 6 6 3.620 39.80 0.1260 1.890 4.240 1
. 7 7 0.395 12.10 0.0317 1.250 0.802 8
. 8 8 1.440 31.20 0.0931 4.030 1.310 7
. 9 9 2.570 18.20 0.0570 0.862 1.950 3
. 10 10 2.000 6.51 0.1540 3.220 0.699 9
Here we have an idata_set
with 10 subjects, one subject per row. The ID
column connects the data in each row to the data in a data_set
, which also requires an ID
column.
The ID
column is the only required column name in idata_set
and ID
should always be a unique identifier for that row.
6.3.1 Use case
idata_set
is usually helpful for implementing a batch of simulations when a data_set
is not used. The batch may be as a sensitivity analysis or for population simulation. Usually, an events object is used with idata
, but it is not required.
Use the idata_set
function to pass the data set into the problem.
For example:
mod <- mrgsolve:::house()
mod %>%
idata_set(exidata) %>%
ev(amt=100) %>%
mrgsim %>% plot
Because there were 10 subjects in the idata_set
, we get 10 profiles in the output. Each “individual” or “unit” received the same 100 mg dose. We would use a data_set
to assign different doses to different individuals.
6.4 Data sets, the parameter list and parameter updates
6.5 Numeric data only
The data.frame
holding the data_set
or idata_set
may have any type of data in its columns. However, only numeric data can actually get passed into the simulation engine. mrgsolve
will automatically look for non-numeric columns and drop them from the data_set
or idata_set
with a warning.

Continuing the series of bi-weekly public project meetings, here is the timeline of the meeting held on May 07, 2020 (times are on IST).
Meetings are held on the #selenium-tlc
channel on Selenium Slack.
The next meeting will be on May 21, 2020, 4:30 PM CET.
adamgoucher 8:00 PM
alright. welcome back. time for another fortnightly chat about the project.

adamgoucher 8:02 PM
some general project statistics; open issues: 391 open pull request: 68 (which is the lowest i think ive seen either of those numbers before)
8:03
agenda wise, this is going to be more loosey-goosey than normal as i’m swamped with day job so ignoring things. we’ll see is that is a good thing or not.
8:03
any overall announcements? new people on committees, have the commit bit, etc?
Simon Stewart 8:04 PM
I’ve landed the update to OpenTracing, which unblocks me
8:04
Next step is to wire the tracing into the Docker support And then pick up the websocket forwarding
8:05
(Which, to be fair, is “mostly done”)
adamgoucher 8:05 PM
heh. the last 20% takes the other 80% of the time :slightly_smiling_face:
Simon Stewart 8:05 PM
The Pareto Principle in action
8:06
I’d be happy pushing a6 before the next meeting
adamgoucher 8:06 PM
what do we think is missing from a6 now?
Simon Stewart 8:06 PM
It’s been a while since we did a release, and there’s progress in there
8:07
I’d dearly love the websocket forwarding, but I can live without it @diemol landed the first work with Fail Safe for some more robustness in the Grid
8:08
I think @barancev is also making some progress switching the underlying HTTP engine again
adamgoucher 8:08 PM
looks like there was a bunch of plumbing / dependencies updated in the last week especially with .net and python
Simon Stewart 8:08 PM
@jimevans and @AutomatedTester know more than I do
Jim Evans 8:10 PM
yes, the .NET bindings build using bazel should now work cross-platform. you should be able to run .NET tests using bazel test (with caveats, which i’ve yet to fully document). it kinda works within VS code, but one can for certain develop using Visual Studio 2019 on Windows, and Visual Studio for Mac on MacOS.
adamgoucher 8:11 PM (still breaks my head to write .net code on mac)
8:11
what more was needed for the http engine stuff? i thought there was a flag in there already?
8:12
or did we change it again, again
Simon Stewart 8:13 PM
The underlying library didn’t support http/2 or unix domain sockets, despite it being possible
adamgoucher 8:14 PM
so do we want/need to wait for that work to be done-ish before doing a6? so far that sounds like the only thing that will be confusing to release partially implemented
Simon Stewart 8:14 PM
Nah.
adamgoucher 8:15 PM
scans commits in another window
Simon Stewart 8:15 PM
As long as it’s in before we start on the betas, we’ll be fine
adamgoucher 8:15 PM
a question i know we dont have an answer for, but do we have a gut feel for how many more a’s there are before we start the b’s?
Simon Stewart 8:16 PM
The major outstanding features are: websocket forwarding graph-ql support
adamgoucher 8:16 PM
thats not that horrid of a list. its been much worse
Simon Stewart 8:17 PM
We’ve been chipping away at it
adamgoucher 8:18 PM
so if a6 is within the next 2 weeks, do we have a trigger condition for releasing it?
Simon Stewart 8:18 PM
No trigger condition
8:18
Other than “someone updates the changelog”, I guess
adamgoucher 8:19 PM
do we want to say ‘a6 is next tuesday’ so that all the maintainers are ready to build and tag everything? (feel like we can’t magically do it all from ci but could be making that up)
Simon Stewart 8:20 PM
The graphql piece is to support the ui, so strictly speaking we don’t really need it, but it keeps things flexible
8:20
@AutomatedTester, @p0deje, @jimevans, @titusfortner, @harsha509 Cool with shipping an alpha next week?
Jim Evans 8:21 PM
+1 from me.
Sri Harsha 8:21 PM
Yes
Diego Molina 8:22 PM
how are we handling the numbers in JS, JS is already in a7, right?
Simon Stewart 8:22 PM
“alpha-n+1”
Sri Harsha 8:22 PM
Yes @diemol . Do you have any suggestions @corevo . He should be releasing the next alpha as i know.
Alex Rodionov 8:23 PM
+1 from me
Tomer Steinfeld 8:25 PM
JS has been in alpha for a long time because of historical reasons
adamgoucher 8:25 PM
ok. so thats covers the bulk of the pressing tech stuff. other stuff that could be discussed; when is the next sfc call? (if its happened in the last two weeks, anything to report) did anyone pick up the ball to talk to miki about the go bindings? seconf india seconf us state of the se-ide into the main repo
Tomer Steinfeld 8:25 PM
I think we can land stable 4.0 together, but I don’t see a reason we should release 4 alphas together
adamgoucher 8:26 PM
(or we can keep talking about js too. but that list is just my remaining things)
Marcus Merrell 8:26 PM
the PLC call happened on Tuesday, it was just me and Jim. We mostly talked about conferences, and we were going to follow up with Simon about the status of the Code of Conduct
Simon Stewart 8:27 PM
Uhh… I thought @AutomatedTester was running with the CoC stuff.
Marcus Merrell 8:27 PM
at this point India is still slated to happen in September, same venue. I don’t know the latest about speakers or progress or anything like that
Simon Stewart 8:27 PM
It’s entirely possible I am mistaken
adamgoucher 8:27 PM
i thought david was on that too
Tomer Steinfeld 8:27 PM
Is there an update from the SFC about the MS store?
Marcus Merrell 8:28 PM
ok, I thought David was on the MS Store issue, and not the CoC, but it wouldn’t be the first time I was mistaken
Diego Molina 8:28 PM
why don’t we take the CoC draft we have, add it to the new site, and iterate on it?
Simon Stewart 8:28 PM
We were going to get a review and some guidance from Sage Sharp
Marcus Merrell 8:29 PM
for Chicago, we’ve got a verbal understanding that the venue will allow us to reschedule the conference for sometime next year with no fees. We’ve already given them a somewhat hefty deposit, and while we could likely fight to get that back, we’d rather just have it next April or October–we’re going to make that decision in late May/early June
Diego Molina 8:30 PM
for the SeleniumConf website, @andrewmkrug has joined the Selenium GitHub org, and he is helping us to push the site code to a private repo
Marcus Merrell 8:30 PM
for the Fall, we’re considering an online-only conference, and we’re waiting for a few pieces of data to come in over the next couple weeks, around TestBash and SauceCon, to gauge how they went, ideas for optimization, pros/cons, do’s don’t’s, etc
Andrew Krug 8:30 PM
was added to #selenium-tlc by Diego Molina.
Marcus Merrell 8:32 PM
I spoke to Deb (from SFC) quite a bit on Friday about tips and pointers for an online-only conference, and I’ve started to develop some opinions for how it should be done. I haven’t yet, however, come up with a firm position on the pricing model for sponsors or attendees–I definitely want to offer all the track sessions/keynotes for free, and offer a paid tier for “something” else, like if people want T-shirts or something else, but it would likely be a model where they pay what they want (to support the project), and the swag they get depends on the tier they buy into
8:33
I’m waiting to hear more from Richard Bradshaw before beginning that discussion, probably during our bi-weekly Conference conference call, on May 28th
adamgoucher 8:35 PM
so. CoC — when can we get the review and guidance? if its more than ‘not in may’ we should likely throw it up and start the iteration process
Simon Stewart 8:36 PM
It depends on Sage’s availability, and that of the people working on the CoC
adamgoucher 8:37 PM
(which, sounds like we’re not quite sure of who those are from our end)
Simon Stewart 8:37 PM
Last I checked, @mmerrell, @AutomatedTester, @diemol, @jimevans and I were all interested in being involved
8:38
From memory.
adamgoucher 8:38 PM
so the nebulous items seem to be; determine who is actually on the coc stuff
Simon Stewart 8:38 PM
Agreed
adamgoucher 8:38 PM
doh! no editing. and, determine who is actually doing the ms store stuff
8:40
which means, for the next meeting;
- release a6 (a7 of js)
- report who is point and who is assisting with the CoC
- report who is leading the ms store stuff
8:41
anyone else have anything they want / need to discuss in public?
Simon Stewart 8:41 PM
I’m good
8:41
Though perhaps we should figure out who owns what on that list I hold the build bacon this time
Diego Molina 8:42 PM
maybe we can record how a release is done? and from that I can write docs
Simon Stewart 8:43 PM
I’ll walk you through the process We did have it written up here: https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/Releasing-Selenium
adamgoucher 8:43 PM
from the april 23 meeting, looks like @AutomatedTester is the store person Screen Shot 2020-05-07 at 11.12.57 AM.png Screen Shot 2020-05-07 at 11.12.57 AM.png
David Burns 2 days ago
I am waiting on replies from SFC. I chased up yesterday. Have meeting with MS next week
adamgoucher 8:45 PM
anyone volunteering for CoC lead?
Diego Molina 8:46 PM
ah nice, the release process is written, we “just” need to update it
Simon Stewart 8:46 PM
The java one doesn’t seem wildly inaccurate
adamgoucher 8:48 PM
which means, for the next meeting;
- release a6 (a7 of js) – simon
- report who is point and who is assisting with the CoC – tbd
- report who is leading the ms store stuff - david?
Alexei Barantsev 8:49 PM
sorry to be late, I’m +1 for the next alpha
adamgoucher 8:50 PM
so if there isnt anything else, i say we call this thing done and do it all again in a fortnight.
8:52
slack says no one is furiously typing so, see all y’all in two weeks. as ever, if there is something you want discussed, message me directly or just drop it here for us to pickup
Diego Molina 8:53 PM
thank you @adamgoucher!
Simon Stewart 8:54 PM
Thanks, @adamgoucher!
David Burns 9:24 PM
Argh… missed it again!!!
9:28
For CoC, I keep dropping the ball on this one. I have been busy with work but hopefully can do something in the next two weeks

ActiveDays
Weizhong Yang (a.k.a zonble)
ActiveDays is a Swift module, which turns how active a user is in a week into events which could be sent to Analytics platforms such as Firebase, Microsoft AppCenter and so on.
Usage
When we want to measure how our users are engaged with our app, we may want to know how many days are they using in a week - How many users use our app only for one day, or seven days a week?
For example, if we want to know how many days does a user launch our app, we may create an instance of ActiveDaysPerWeekCounter, and start a session
let activeDaysCounter = ActiveDaysPerWeekCounter(settingKey: "app-launch")
activeDaysCounter.startNewSessionIfNoExitingOne()
Then, pass a date to the ActiveDaysPerWeekCounter instance, it will tell you if you should send an event or not.
let result = try! activeDaysCounter.commit(accessDate: Date())
if case let .active(days) = result {
// Send active days to your analytics platform here.
}
Installation
You can only install the extension with Swift Package Manager right now. Please add
// swift-tools-version:4.0
import PackageDescription
let package = Package(
name: "YourTargetName",
products: [
.executable(name: "YourTargetName", targets: ["YourTargetName"])
],
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/zonble/ActiveDays", .upToNextMinor(from: "1.0.0"))

Internally, JE databases are organized as BTrees. This means that most database operations (inserts, deletes, reads, and so forth) involve BTree node comparisons. This comparison most frequently occurs based on database keys, but if your database supports duplicate records then comparisons can also occur based on the database data.
By default, JE performs all such comparisons using a byte-by-byte lexicographic comparison. This mechanism works well for most data. However, in some cases you may need to specify your own comparison routine. One frequent reason for this is to perform a language sensitive lexical ordering of string keys.
You override the default comparison function by providing a Java
Comparator
class to the database.
The Java Comparator
interface requires you to implement the
Comparator.compare()
method
(see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Comparator.html for details).
JE passes your Comparator.compare()
method
the byte
arrays that you stored in the database. If
you know how your data is organized in the byte
array, then you can write a comparison routine that directly examines
the contents of the arrays. Otherwise, you have to reconstruct your
original objects, and then perform the comparison.
For example, suppose you want to perform unicode lexical comparisons
instead of UTF-8 byte-by-byte comparisons. Then you could provide a
comparator that uses String.compareTo()
,
which performs a Unicode comparison of two strings (note that for
single-byte roman characters, Unicode comparison and UTF-8
byte-by-byte comparisons are identical – this is something you
would only want to do if you were using multibyte unicode characters
with JE). In this case, your comparator would look like the
following:
package je.gettingStarted; import java.util.Comparator; public class MyDataComparator implements Comparator { public MyDataComparator() {} public int compare(Object d1, Object d2) { byte[] b1 = (byte[])d1; byte[] b2 = (byte[])d2; String s1 = new String(b1, "UTF-8"); String s2 = new String(b2, "UTF-8"); return s1.compareTo(s2); } }
You specify a Comparator
using the following
methods. Note that by default these methods can only be used at database
creation time, and they are ignored for normal database opens. Also,
note that JE uses the no-argument constructor for these comparators.
Further, it is not allowable for there to be a mutable state in these
comparators or else unpredictable results will occur.
DatabaseConfig.setBtreeComparator()
Sets the Java Comparator
class used
to compare two keys in the database.
DatabaseConfig.setDuplicateComparator()
Sets the Java Comparator
class used to compare the
data on two duplicate records in the database. This comparator is
used only if the database supports duplicate records.
You can use the above methods to set a database's comparator after database creation time if you explicitly indicate that the comparator is to be overridden. You do this by using the following methods:
If you override your comparator, the new comparator must preserve the sort order implemented by your original comparator. That is, the new comparator and the old comparator must return the same value for the comparison of any two valid objects. Failure to observe this constraint will cause unpredictable results for your application.
If you want to change the fundamental sort order for your database, back up the contents of the database, delete the database, recreate it, and then reload its data.
DatabaseConfig.setOverrideBtreeComparator()
If set to true
, causes the database's Btree
comparator to be overridden with the
Comparator
specified on
DatabaseConfig.setBtreeComparator()
. This
method can be used to change the comparator post-environment
creation.
DatabaseConfig.setOverrideDuplicateComparator()
If set to true
, causes the database's
duplicates comparator to be overridden with the
Comparator
specified on
DatabaseConfig.setDuplicateComparator()
.
For example, to use the Comparator
described in the previous section:
package je.gettingStarted; import com.sleepycat.je.Database; import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseConfig; import com.sleepycat.je.DatabaseException; import java.util.Comparator; ... // Environment open omitted for brevity try { // Get the database configuration object DatabaseConfig myDbConfig = new DatabaseConfig(); myDbConfig.setAllowCreate(true); // Set the duplicate comparator class myDbConfig.setDuplicateComparator(MyDataComparator.class); // Open the database that you will use to store your data myDbConfig.setSortedDuplicates(true); Database myDatabase = myDbEnv.openDatabase(null, "myDb", myDbConfig); } catch (DatabaseException dbe) { // Exception handling goes here }


Guidance
Find out how to become a marker for the key stage 2 English or mathematics tests or science sampling tests.
This guidance will be updated for the 2017 test cycle in November.
Markers must have qualified teacher status and teaching experience in the relevant subject and / or key stage. They need to work with speed and accuracy, be organised, have confidence in their subject knowledge and have an open-minded approach to children’s work.
Markers can be:
If you’re unsure about whether you could become a marker, visit Pearson’s Roles page .
Recruitment for the 2016 English and mathematics tests has now closed. Recruitment for the 2017 test cycle for new markers will commence in December 2016.
Pearson manages marking for the national curriculum tests in English reading and English grammar, punctuation and spelling and mathematics.
If you are have not marked key stage 2 national curriculum tests before or haven’t marked these tests within the last 2 years, you can apply via the vacancies page of Pearson’s website . When there are vacancies they will be listed there along with deadlines for applications.
If you have marked national curriculum tests for Pearson within the last 2 years you won’t need to apply again. If eligible, Pearson will contact you directly about marking opportunities for the 2017 test cycle. Please note, contracting will take a few months.
If you have questions about the application process you should email Pearson .
The science sampling tests take place every other year. Recruitment for 2016 has now closed.
Before you’re approved to mark the tests you’ll receive training and support on the marking process and mark scheme. You must also demonstrate you can apply the mark scheme accurately and consistently.
Training includes written guidance, face-to-face training sessions and ongoing support from a supervisor.
The mark scheme training meeting takes place in May, shortly after children sit the test. It ensures you understand the marking procedures and introduces you to the support network available throughout the marking process.
You will demonstrate your ability to mark accurately and consistently by marking a set of practice scripts and then at least one set of standardisation scripts. The accuracy of your marking will be checked against an agreed standard. If you are approved your marking accuracy will be assessed throughout the marking period to check you are still marking to the agreed standard.
If successful, you’ll start marking test scripts shortly after the tests take place in May. You will usually complete your marking within 3 or 4 weeks.

Falkirk sack Ray McKinnon as League One strugglers call time on ill-fated reign
The 49-year-old has paid the price for an up and down start to the season
by Graeme Young, https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/authors/graeme-young/Ray McKinnon has been sacked as Falkirk boss after the League One side's latest stuttering result.
The 49-year-old has paid the price for an up and down start to the season with the pre-season title contenders sitting in fourth place.
And the Bairns have moved quickly to remove McKinnon after the 1-1 draw Dumbarton leaves them three points behind league leaders Airdrie.
The former Dundee United boss caused controversy when he left Morton in August 2018 to join Falkirk just weeks into his reign at Cappielow.
And McKinnon couldn't revive slumping Falkirk as they were relegated from the Championship last season.
He was backed in the summer transfer window but results haven't improved with just six wins from 14 league games.
It comes just after Falkirk called time on American-based businessman Mark Campbell's pursuit of the club.
The club released a brief statement on Saturday evening announcing his exit.
It read: "Falkirk FC can confirm that Ray McKinnon and Darren Taylor have been relieved of their duties as first team manager and assistant manager with immediate effect.
"Interim chairman, Lex Miller and the board of directors wish to place on record their best wishes to Ray and Darren for the future."
McKinnon appeared in a sombre mood just hours ago as he discussed his side's dreary display against Dumbarton.
He said: "The late goal is scant consolation. We come here wanting the three points, we've walked away with one. So I'm really disappointed with the performance and result today.
"I just think today we were below average right through the team. There were a lot of stray passes and never had a flow to our game.
"There's maybe a wee lack of confidence as well. If you pull all that together you get a below average performance and that's what we got."

As progress is made toward more detailed methods of experimentation, larger volumes of data are generated. Much the critical information inside that data is inaccessible to researchers, who have limited time to analyze results by hand. Easy to use data visualization software can allow them to take full advantage of valuable data and maximize the use of limited resources. Vesicle Viewer is a web application developed to visualize data generated in the study of lipid bilayers. Small angle scattering (SAS) techniques are used to analyze the structure of generated bilayers. This data is then fitted to an appropriate model, after which it is visualized into various graphs. In this way composition, lipid volume and bilayer thickness can be determined and utilized in further study.
This application primarily uses Django, a python package specialized for the development of robust web applications. In addition, several other libraries are used to support the more technical aspects of the project – notable examples are MatPlotLib (for graphs) and NumPy (for calculations). The decision was made to develop a web application to allow scientists all over the world to take advantage of this solution. Without the barrier of downloading and installing software, users can take advantage of the application regardless of which operating system they use. This also allows for a shorter development cycle by eliminating the need to push updates or prepare multiple versions.

nameserv::protocol - Name service facility, client/server protocol
The packages nameserv::server, nameserv, and nameserv::common provide a simple unprotected name service facility for use in small trusted environments.
Please read Name service facility, introduction first.
This document contains the specification of the network protocol which is used by client and server to talk to each other, enabling implementations of the same protocol in other languages.
This protocol defines the basic set of messages to be supported by a name service, also called the Core feature.
The basic communication between client and server is done using the remote-execution protocol specified by the Tcl package comm. The relevant document specifying its on-the-wire protocol can be found in comm_wire.
All the scripts exchanged via this protocol are single commands in list form and thus can be interpreted as plain messages instead of as Tcl commands. The commands/messages specified in the next section are the only commands understood by the server-side. Command and variable substitutions are not allowed within the messages, i.e. arguments have to be literal values.
The protocol is synchronous. I.e. for each message sent a response is expected, and has to be generated. All messages are sent by the client. The server does not sent messages, only responses to messages.
The client sends this message when it registers itself at the service with a name and some associated data. The server has to send an error response if the name is already in use. Otherwise the response has to be an empty string.
The server has to accept multiple names for the same client.
The client sends this message to unregister all names it is known under at the service. The response has to be an empty string, always.
The client sends this message to search the service for names matching the glob-pattern. The response has to be a dictionary containing the matching names as keys, and mapping them to the data associated with it at Bind-time.
The client sends this message to query the service for the highest version of the name service protocol it supports. The response has to be a positive integer number.
Servers supporting only Nano Name Service Protocol Version 1 have to return 1.
The client sends this message to query the service for the features of the name service protocol it supports. The response has to be a list containing feature names.
Servers supporting only Nano Name Service Protocol Version 1 have to return {Core}.
This protocol defines an extended set of messages to be supported by a name service, also called the Search/Continuous feature. This feature defines additional messages between client and server, and is otherwise identical to version 1 of the protocol. See the last section for the details of our foundation.
A service supporting this feature has to put the feature name Search/Continuous into the list of features returned by the message ProtocolFeatures.
For this extension the protocol is asynchronous. No direct response is expected for any of the messages in the extension. Furthermore the server will start sending messages on its own, instead of only responses to messages, and the client has to be able to handle these notifications.
The client sends this message to start searching the service for names matching the glob-pattern. In contrast to the regular Search request this one asks the server to continuously monitor the database for the addition and removal of matching entries and to notify the client of all such changes. The particular search is identified by the tag.
No direct response is expected, rather the clients expect to be notified of changes via explicit Search/Continuous/Result messages generated by the service.
It is further expected that the tag information is passed unchanged to the Search/Continuous/Result messages. This tagging of the results enables clients to start multiple searches and distinguish between the different results.
The client sends this message to stop the continuous search identified by the tag.
This message is sent by the service to clients with active continuous searches to transfer found changes. The first such message for a new continuous search has to contains the current set of matching entries.
To ensure this a service has to generate an add-message with an empty response if there were no matching entries at the time.
The response has to be a dictionary containing the matching names as keys, and mapping them to the data associated with it at Bind-time. The argument coming before the response tells the client whether the names in the response were added or removed from the service.
This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. Please report such in the category nameserv of the Tcllib Trackers. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation.
When proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e the output of diff -u.
Note further that attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. Attachments can be made by going to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar.

SNAKE EYES (1998)
A film review by Steve Kong Edited by Cher Johnson Copyright 1998 Steve Kong
For the last two weeks, on the drive to work, I passed a Snake Eyes billboard. There's a large picture of Nicolas Cage and in big letters below "Cage Snake Eyes." That is some good advice from a studio trying to promote this film.
Detective Rick Santoro (Nicolas Cage) is a guy who is loud and obnoxious. He's a guy who wants everyone's attention, and during the rainy night in Snake Eyes, he'll get it. Santoro is attending a big boxing match at a large Atlantic City casino with his longtime friend Major Kevin Dunn (Gary Sinise). Dunn is there providing protective services for the Secretary of Defense.
During the fight, the Secretary is assassinated.  He spends his time chasing after a woman in a blonde wig and another woman in a red wig. He thinks that there are others involved in the conspiracy, and since this is Hollywood, he's right.
If you understood the conspiracy in Mission: Impossible, you will probably understand the conspiracy in Snake Eyes. I didn't even bother with trying to understand why the Secretary was killed; I just looked at the wonderful camera work by cinematographer Stephen H. Burum.
After being engrossed by the whodunit of last week's The Negotiator, I was disappointed that the head of the conspiracy is revealed so quickly in Snake Eyes. Writer David Koepp (Men in Black, Lost World, Mission: Impossible) pens the film in an inventive manner, but the weak point of the script remains; we get to find out who the bad guy is too quickly.
But that is not the weakest point of the film; it has one of the worst endings I've ever seen. It is plain awful and so unbelievable that I felt cheated after sitting in the theatre for two hours.
However, the first 90 minutes of Snake Eyes is very interesting. The way that DePalma shows us the story from different points of view is entertaining. Just keep in mind that one of these points of view is that of the killer and is the wrench thrown into the well-oiled machine -- a view point that serves only to confuse an already confused audience.
DePalma also shows off with Snake Eyes. Some of the camera movements, angles, and setups in Snake Eyes are beyond belief. This includes the long opening sequence. The sequence follows Nicolas Cage for about 15 minutes and seems to be uncut, though there might be one or two cuts during some swish-pans. This opening left me saying, "Wow, now that was cool!" Snake Eyes should be a film shown during cinematography classes; there are quite a few setups that make for good studying.
As for acting, no one does anything new. Nicolas Cage revives his Castor Troy from Face/Off and melts in some of his Cameron Poe from Con Air for his part as Rick Santoro. He's loud, brash, and too over-the-top to be enjoyable. His character has a sudden attack of conscience during the film that doesn't ring true. The other lead actor, Gary Sinise, has played this type of part enough to be typecast. Sinise is awful in Snake Eyes; he needs to find a different type of role to play.
Snake Eyes is the worst of bad movies it starts off really well, builds up a lot of good story, then hits you with an improbable and laughable ending. Skip Snake Eyes in the theatres. As the billboard says, the movie Snake Eyes should be caged. No one needs this kind of disappointment. I wonder who let it out of the cage.

Hello! Thank you for visiting my portfolio.
I am originally from Newton, Utah but I currently reside in Brigham City, Utah with my wife. I recently completed a six month coding boot camp through the University of Utah. Below are links to various projects to demonstrate what I have learned and how I applied that knowledge. I understand that I was only able to scratch the surface in a six month period and am constantly looking for opportunities to continue learning and growing!

'confirm' => 'Are you sure?',
// The tag for the item, defaults to a
'tag' => 'a',
// Define another URI for the AJAX call, this defines the HREF of A
'href' => '/path/to/url',
// Extra arguments to pass to the AJAX function, will be stored
// in the args attribute as a JSON notation
'args' => array(1, "a"),
// Set the "href" attriute for non-anchor (a) AJAX tags (like buttons or spans).
// Works for A links too, it won't function without javascript
'target' => '/default/ajax/controller',
// Define the data-type for the communication
'data-type' => 'json'
// Set the encoding of the data, defaults to UTF-8
'encoding' => 'UTF-8',
);

phery
$phery: Pass the current instance of phery, so it can check if the functions are defined, and throw exceptions
Construct the new phery instance
phery
__construct
([ $config = null])
Return the data associatated with a processed unobstructive POST call
mixed
answer_for
(string $alias, [mixed $default = NULL])
-
string
$alias: The name of the alias for the process function
-
mixed
$default: Any data that should be returned if there's no answer, defaults to null
Set callbacks for pre and post filters.
Callbacks are useful for example, if you have 2 or more AJAX functions, and you need to perform the same data manipulation, like removing an 'id' from the $_POST['args'], or to check for potential CSRF or SQL injection attempts on all the functions, clean data or perform START TRANSACTION for database, etc
phery
callback
(
$callbacks)
-
array
$callbacks:
array(
// Set a function to be called BEFORE
// processing the request, if it's an
// AJAX to be processed request, can be
// an array of callbacks
'pre' => array|function,
// Set a function to be called AFTER
// processing the request, if it's an AJAX
// processed request, can be an array of
// callbacks
'post' => array|function
);
The callback function should be // $additional_args is passed using the callback_data() function, in this case, a pre callback
function pre_callback($ajax_data, $internal_data){
// Do stuff
$_POST['args']['id'] = $additional_args['id'];
return true;
}
// post callback would be to save the data perhaps? Just to keep the code D.R.Y.
function post_callback($ajax_data, $internal_data){
$this->database->save();
return true;
}
Returning false on the callback will make the process() phase to RETURN, but won't exit. You may manually exit on the post callback if desired Any data that should be modified will be inside $_POST['args'] (can be accessed freely on 'pre', will be passed to the AJAX function)
Config the current instance of phery
-
array
$config: Associative array containing the following options
array(
// Defaults to true, stop further script execution
'exit_allowed' => true/false,
// Don't apply stripslashes on the args
'no_stripslashes' => true/false,
// Throw exceptions on errors
'exceptions' => true/false,
// Set the functions that will be called even if is a
// POST but not an AJAX call
'unobstructive' => array('function-alias-1','function-alias-2')
);
Set any data to pass to the callbacks
phery
data
(
$args,
mixed $args,...)
-
mixed
$args,...: Parameters, can be anything
-
$args
Process the AJAX requests if any
void
process
([bool $last_call = true])
-
bool
$last_call: Set this to false if any other further calls to process() will happen, otherwise it will exit
Sets the functions to respond to the ajax call.
For security reasons, these functions should not be available for direct POST/GET requests. These will be set only for AJAX requests as it will only be called in case of an ajax request, to save resources. The answer/process function, must necessarily have the following structure:
function func($ajax_data, $callback_data){
// Sometimes the $callback_data will have an item called 'submit_id',
// is the ID of the calling DOM element.
// if (isset($callback_data['submit_id'])) { }
$r->jquery('#id')->animate(...);
return $r;
}
-
array
$functions: An array of functions to register to the instance.
