URL must be a valid websocket URL which sends JSON.stringified data: i.e.,
if the websocket sends the string s
, then JSON.parse(s)
javascript function invocation must return valid JSON.
In this example, the websocket URL sends a (variable) string s
once every 0.05 secs.
READ's websocket dataset internally calls JSON.parse(s)
once it receives the string, which returns a number
which is valid JSON.


Introduction
This post is quite long, worthy of the race it reports.
Grab a cup of tea, sit down, and read on…
Mostly written on Tuesday and finished off with pictures on Sunday.
Race report
After my inauspicious lead-up to the race, I continued the non-training bits of race preparation as
best I could, sorting out my energy drink sachets so that I had 16 bags with 50g
each (thankfully I didn’t have to explain the baggies of white powder at airport security),
packing my race kit and supporting my support crew.
This was my first race where Peta was supporting in a participatory sense,
doing more than cheering (or writing encouraging messages in chalk on the Ironman
run in Zurich!). I wasn’t totally sure what I would need, but wrote some
checklists for each checkpoint including location, estimated time of arrival
and what things I might need. This allowed me to defer decisions such as
whether I’d need a change of shoes at checkpoint 4 or 5 (or, as it turns out,
at all). I could also give Peta a funnel to fill my bottles with powder, and
carry warm clothes for later, and give me the food I’d prepared. All in all the
checklists were pretty successful.
Also in the build up to the race, I found the Unofficial North Face 100 Training page
on Facebook, which led me to a great blog including preparation tips including the checklists idea.
I still wasn’t feeling 100% better on the Friday, and I found the slight incline
from the parking to registration at the race start really affected my breathing.
However, it was also very cold, and I was suffering a little from pre-race nerves.
Race registration, for me, in 2014, was amazingly efficient. I got to registration at 7pm
and by 7:02 I was registered and by 7:04 I had the goodie bag. Unfortunately
I then had to stick around another 30 minutes until compulsory race briefing
which started late and ran long. I should have grabbed a seat before it started
as my legs were sore during the night following an hour standing. I would
complain more but the Welcome from the traditional owners was very moving and
I wouldn’t have missed that for anything. The lovely elderly woman who thanked
us for coming and loving the land was truly touching (and perhaps more generous
than deserved given the amount of race litter I saw, only some of which I had
the energy to pick up and take out with me).
After registration I went home, we finished cooking dinner, ate, and once I felt that
everything that needed to be done was done, I went to bed. I slept well for the
first half and then I got hot and my leg was very painful — I was half convinced
I might have deep vein thrombosis or something — but whatever it was,
I never felt it after I started running.
Parking at the start wasn’t great, but we didn’t have to park too far away,
and got to the start in plenty of time. Although I miscounted the wave starts
and thought the third was yet to go when mine was 2 minutes from starting — I
wasn’t as ready as I’d have liked at that point, but sorted myself out in time.
There was always a doubt in my mind that I might make no further in the race
than the first 5km, which was an out and back where if I was feeling truly
dreadful still, then would be the time to withdraw. The out and back was pretty
enjoyable for an uphill slog (followed by a downhill slog I suppose) — we drove
the same route on Tuesday morning and I thought “Wow, I ran (ok, walked) this”. Great views, fun
times, lots of early camaraderie.
Back at Scenic World, Peta had picked a great spot to stand — I could see her
a few hundred metres away and give her a big wave to warn her I was on my way
and to have the camera ready. I stopped for a quick kiss and to let her know I was
feeling good and was running well, which was a nice surprise for me too.
Down the Furber steps we went, the steps taking their toll on my quads, and
then along the Federal Pass, past the landslide (where things got a bit slow
and queuey) and then to the bottom of Golden Steps. These steps were probably
the toughest of the day for me as I’d yet to learn how to deal with them, but
the answer was to take more breaks, and sooner. My lung capacity due to my cold
was not 100%, and that meant that it was easy to over do it. On all later uphill
stairs, I did stop often and never felt quite so out of breath.
Still, once at the top it was a quick jaunt to the first checkpoint, where I
refilled bottles and camelbak. Signal wasn’t good enough to send a text to Peta,
which I should have done anyway — I didn’t realise until the next checkpoint that
the online tracker never showed me arriving at checkpoint one, and people were
starting to get concerned back home!
I had my one stack of the day where I tripped on some hidden obstacle and went
flying. Thankfully it was mostly sand/dirt road, and I had nothing more than
a graze or two and some wounded pride. A young American woman who I’d just passed
stopped to make sure I was ok, and then we ran for quite a while chatting
happily, which is always unexpected and pleasant. I let her go on at the 20km
point so I could take a 20km selfie! Shortly after the 20km point we had the
Taros ladders. Chatting to another American lady later, if you were in a later
wave the queues were bad and the detour was horrific, so I was very pleased
to get to the ladders with only a few people in the queue — it was perfectly
fine for me, the benefits of getting a good starting wave.
From Taros to Checkpoint 2 seems utterly unmemorable now — there were lots
of steps down where I felt uneasy, and very worried about later steps if I
felt that wobbly there, but it turns out I recovered fine later on — I was
probably still feeling Furber steps!
At Checkpoint 2 I let Peta know I was doing fine (in fact I was pretty much
bang on ETA) refilled everything I needed to refill, ready for the next 15km
stage. The route to Checkpoint 3 was much more memorable. The hike up to
Ironpot ridge looked horribly steep, but wasn’t actually as bad as it looked —
Chainsaw on Camp Mountain is the same steepness, but the path is straight up
it, whereas this path zigzagged. Along Ironpot Ridge we came across King David
who’d given us the welcome the night before, playing his clack sticks, with
some friends playing the didgeredoo, and they were very friendly and
encouraging (only 65km to go! — yeah, thanks!). The run down from Ironpot
ridge was probably the worst section of the race for me — completely did my
knees in and might have contributed to how bad I felt for the last 20km. It
was basically a steep and dusty downhill, very tough on the legs.
After the joys of Ironpot ridge, we had the fun of the rise up to Checkpoint 3.
This was a hill that rose for 5km. I wasn’t convinced I was actually going to
run any of the last half of this leg at all, but after that long 5km it
flattened off and then went downhill, so I actually managed some quickish
kms (it was also the middle of the day so there was a little bit of run/walk
too, not to mention stops to get crap out of my shoe!) to get to Checkpoint 3.
The gear check was a little bit of a faff, as I had to get my fleece out of my
stuff sack, but I totally understand the point of it, so I just treated it like
a mandatory rest!
I had written instructions for Peta at Checkpoint 3, but only to be used if
I was running at least two hours late — in the end I was bang on time.
This was to save her the hassle of in my mind an unnecessary burden — it was
only 11km to the next checkpoint with an expected time for the leg of two hours.
I’m still very happy with this decision — it probably gave Peta more than two
hours back of her day and I was still feeling great at this point. I knew any
leg that was suggested as taking 2 hours for 11km wasn’t going to be easy, but
then again, not much of the course is!
Onwards to Checkpoint 4 along the Six Foot Track, and here I met what turned
out to be a great race friend, who saw me trying ineptly to take a 50km selfie
and said ‘if you wait 30 seconds, I’ll take it for you’, and did so. After that
we ran together for quite a bit, and also bumped into another of his running
club mates, Erika, who was also very kind — she heard me coughing and offered
me her inhaler — she took the offer back when I told her it was my cold, but
it was really nice of her. Both Peter and Erika really helped me mentally get
up Nellies Glen, which is the step-filled trudge back up from the valley to
Katoomba. I saw Peter quite often for the rest of the race, until he went flying
past me on the descent from Kedumba around the 85km mark — he finished half an
hour before me in the end, which given his performance on uphill and downhill
(I was quicker on the flat, which was no help for the last 20km!) was deserved.
After Nellies Glen, it wasn’t too far to get to Checkpoint 4 — Peta was again
well placed to spot me, and she saw me before I saw her for some more photos.
Unfortunately neither of us knew that she’d have to take a very long route into
the sports centre to be able to support me, but in the end it just meant I had
a couple of minutes extra rest — and I was out again in 10 minutes or so, much
quicker than the two people who left at the same time as me and started talking
about their 25 minute luxury stop! Together Peta and I sorted out filling bottles,
feeding me, checking off the checklist. My new running friend Peter had given
me a top tip, which was to try and get down Giant Stairway before dark. So I
didn’t hang around — Peta and I got a bit confused when she said ‘See you at 5’
(meaning the checkpoint) and I said ‘that’s only an hour, I’m going to take
four!’ but we quickly worked that out!
The next stage of the run was the bit of the North Face 50 from last year
that I’d really struggled with. I was convinced the race director was a
sadist and put as many stairs into the section as possible. This year, my
frame of mind was very different — I’d trained for stairs, I accepted it as
very much a key part of the North Face race, and was ready for it. And I felt
happier and easier doing the stairs this year than last year, even though I’d
run 20km further at that point. Sure, I forgot about blocks of stairs but
I never found myself particularly annoyed by them.
At some point on the stairs, we came across a cockatoo, just standing on a step.
I said “Hello Cocky!”, to which he/she replied “Hello!”. So of course I had to
say hello again. Presumably it’d either escaped from a family or had just learned
to say hello on the trails, but it wasn’t at all bothered by all these trail runners
going past!
It was great to stop
at the 66km water stop, where I was well looked after by Steph, a three year
old, who helped fill my camelbak (with the help of her mum).
After a couple more kms, I was convinced I must have passed the Fairmont and
was ahead of schedule, so I texted Peta to let her know this crucial fact.
Ten minutes later, I realised we’d just reached Sublime Point Road, and I
was probably about on time, so I texted Peta to cancel the crucial fact. I’d
likely have been more on time for the checkpoint if I hadn’t spent all that time
texting! Still, I made the best of the steps down from the Fairmont, and it
seemed to be a long and wiggly and windy path to Wentworth Falls, but I got there
in the end, and crossed the falls for what I expected to be a long and lengthy
climb back up to Kings Tableland, but it was nowhere near as bad as I expected,
and it was all relatively straightforward. I walked with Peter while the path
still tracked uphill, but once we got onto the roads, and it started going
downhill, I set off, determined to be as on time as I could — it was a run/walk
combo, but I was still definitely running at times!
Checkpoint 5 was a bit of a nightmare — I messed up filling one of my bottles,
and filled it with energy drink rather than water. I also needed to pick up
my mandatory fleece. I decided to change my top in case I got cold too. I
did get cold for a few minutes in the next section but I’d have been better off
keeping my original short sleeved top as I was too hot at times in the next
section, and only ever slightly cold briefly. Amazingly the breezes coming out
of the valley were warmer than the rest of the air (we’d been warned to expect
cold breezes, which seems a sensible warning most of the time!)
And then almost 10km downhill. In 2013, that 10km took me about 50 minutes. This
year I was a lot slower — about 90 minutes, because I was no longer comfortably
able to run downhill — my knees and my quads were just not willing to suffer
in silence. I was actually happier going uphill — it was slower, of course,
but I felt like I was making as good progress this year as last year.
The distance between the 90km marker and the supposed 91km water point seemed
enormous but at that point everything was a walk, uphill, and thus taking nearly
15 minutes to do a kilometre. I could hear people around me complain about the
length of the hill, but I was at peace with it — it was a long trudge but
I preferred it to the succeeding flatter section. After the climb came the
clearing, and then upwards again to Federal Pass, which felt pretty comfortable.
The run through Leura Forest felt fine but I really slowed further for the last
5kms — I was stuck behind some people but really didn’t have anything left in
my legs to want to overtake.
Finally I got to the Furber Steps and tried to text Peta. But no signal. So I
proceeded up the steps, and then tried again. No luck. A bit further, I tried
again — still no signal. Higher up, I received a text from Peta, so I stopped
and tried again. In the end, I got to pretty much the top and called Peta to
warn her I was on the home stretch. So, top tip for any TNF 100k-ers — make
better arrangements to meet at the finish. I’m not sure what else I could have
done, because I was much slower over the last 5km than I expected, but at least
I might have known not to bother trying any earlier. Still, I needed some rest
stops on the way up, but probably not quite that many.
And then I was walking up the boardwalk to Scenic World, and saw a sign saying
last 5 steps, and so started running — I bounded up the steps, and then finished
strong nearly across the line, pausing slightly to let Peta take a photo, and
then crossed into her arms. After some uncertainty about what happens next,
I went to collect my medal, and bumped into Peter on his way out, so it was
great to find out how he’d done. I then had the best chicken soup I’d ever had
(another top tip — have chicken soup as a meal — the meal I prepared myself
was very stodgy and unappealing). Peta then drove me home, ran me a jacuzzi
and opened the bottle of fizz that we had in the fridge, and all was good with
the world. I also took the opportunity while the jacuzzi was being run to catch
up on all the vast amount of good wishes that people had left on Facebook, it
was lovely to feel so well supported.
100kms in 17:51, about 40 minutes slower than the first four checkpoints
suggested I should manage, and certainly I did feel like the wheels fell off
a little in the final stage (although I actually picked up 8 places),
but well within the 20 hour cutoff for bronze
buckle, and significantly under the 28 hour cutoff for the race. I earned my
4th wave start position (45-60th percentile) with last years North Face 50,
and I believe I justified it with this year’s North Face 100 (456th out of
over 1000 entrants — I don’t know yet how many actually started)
Kit
- Bamboo technical top (Royal Parks Half 2010 finishers top — my most visible top
for Peta’s benefit) until CP5
- Gore Running long sleeve with mitten cuffs — good for the first 2km when
I was cold and my hands were wet after the checkpoint, too hot afterwards. Should
have just worn running gloves for a couple of ks.
- Ronhill shorts with just a little inside flap as a pocket — didn’t think I needed
pockets given my backpack but they’d have been good to keep e.g. gloves in.
- Salomon Crossmax shoes — probably one of their last runs — they’ve done over
500km since I started tracking my shoes at the start of the year, it’s probably
nearer 1000km in their lifetime. And even Peta thinks they look like they need
replacing.
- Salomon S-Lab 12. Gets rave reviews, barely moves on the body, has excellent
front pockets for bottles.  And while it is 12L, some
of that only works if you put everything in a stuff sack, which is awkward for
gear checks. I think I’ll be replacing it and hoping for a good price on ebay
(I hope noone reads this before buying it!)
- X-Socks marathon. Great, although perhaps a little short for this event as
grit got in too easily — but so so comfortable on the feet.
- Neutrogena Beach Defense spray on sun protection. Allows me to sweat with it
on, which beats most sun cream.
- Skin slather lube. I had no chafing where I used this, and it quickly resolved
where I missed using it.
- I was pleased with my nutrition/hydration choice. I’m not at all affiliated
with Tailwind Nutrition, but their
product works for me — I had something like thirteen out of the sixteen planned
pouches. I did get a bit peckish around the 70km mark, and had a Boost. I also
had a little of my sausage and potato food, but really not very much. It was
easier to keep on top of the required amount of Tailwind when it was warmer —
probably the 70km flagging was because I had only drank half the amount I should
have from the 56km checkpoint. But I think chicken soup at Checkpoints 4 and 5
would have gone down well.
Post race thoughts
I don’t feel the need to do that particular 100km again, although I’ll never say
never. If I thought I could get a silver buckle to go with my new bronze buckle,
I might, but shaving nearly four hours off my time seems near impossible. There
are so many great races to do that would be difficult to do in the same year
that I also want to do — Tarawera and Cradle Mountain being two off the top of
my head. And I’d also like to try some of the other Blue Mountain races, such
as Mount Solitary or the Six Foot Track.
On North Face 100 preparation, aside from my cold, which may well have been
a blessing in that I was definitely well rested and couldn’t go too hard early
on (I felt much better later in the day, perhaps after I’d cleared myself out),
there are some things I’d suggest. Very steep downhill training (I can only
think Chainsaw) but that has its own risks — either of falling or just damaging
knees in the practice. More step walking. I did plenty of stair running
(it’s probably impossible to do too much but I felt I did enough) but
specifically downstairs walking, preferably with unevenness. Also more downhill
running training — the 10km from Queen Victoria Hospital to Jamison Creek could
have felt easier.
Other race top tips. Wear gaiters.  And grit got in the top of
my socks and rubbed the tops of my feet such that I’m wearing blister plasters
there now.
Peta and I worked out the support strategy quite well for a first time.
Having spare bottles and camelbak would have meant we could just do bottle swaps
rather than me having to fill them (supporters weren’t allowed near the water).
And the 99km texting was a lesson hard learned, that I should have realised
given the paucity of the GPS signal down there, but no regrets.
Unlike in the 50 last year, where I swore to give up trail running, this year
I felt happy and confident the whole way through. I never felt like I would
need to give up (although how difficult I found the first stair climb gave
me some cause for concern, and my legs felt a bit shaky on some of the technical
downhills around the Taros steps, and I worried that they’d feel worse later, but
neither worry was serious nor, in hindsight, warranted!). I don’t recall many
races where I felt so capable!
Acknowledgements
Thanks to Peta for providing the middle ground of being suitably cautious
about my crazy ideas, but going along for the ride once convinced. Her
support on the day and indeed the days afterwards has been invaluable. We’re
going to have many more adventures together, and more holidays in the Blue
Mountains where I can actually do some decent walking with her!
I would like to thank the traditional owners of the area for their heartfelt
welcome and the work they do to conserve the land for generations to come.
The organisation of the 2014 North Face seemed even better than usual (I think
the change of venue helped them) — it was well marked, everything was smooth
(except perhaps the direction at the finish, but when I did ask what to do next,
they were very helpful). I think Tom and Alina and everyone involved do a
fantastic job. I’d like to particularly thank everyone who volunteered their time
as marshals, at checkpoints, and start and finish.
My new friends I made on the race — I’ll probably never meet them again but
Peter and Erika from Sydney Striders, Charlene who made sure I was ok after
my fall, Ariane who helped me sort my light out and the other people
with whom I walked the slow
climb from Leura Valley, whose names I never knew, it was still great!
The Bunyaville Trail Runners have been a great set of training buddies — so
thanks to Grant for doing a great job organising it, and to everyone on the
weekly runs, plus particular thanks to everyone who’s gone on a long training
run with me — Aaron, Paul, Brad, Stuart. Oh, and a big thanks to Shayne for
his valuable mantra ‘Trust in your training’ which spoken by him sounds like
an instruction from a Jedi Master.
This year most of my social running has been with my trail buddies, and I’ve
had to neglect my parkrun friends to concentrate on longer things (and avoid
the risk of injury from short sharp runs!). I’m looking forward to going back
and seeing everyone, and I’d like to thank Brendan Smith, a fellow endurance
runner who’s just come back from doing two marathons in China (including a
ten hour effort on the Great Wall — lest anyone think he’s a slacker, the
winner did it in six!) who said ‘Bragging rights are forever’, another helpful
mantra for my run, and much more positive than drug cheat
Armstrong’s ‘Quitting is forever’.
Thanks to everyone who liked or commented on Peta’s updates on Facebook —
the tracking that Peta did was more up to date and accurate than the official
timings, and she was able to let me know how much everyone was cheering me on.
And I did really enjoy catching up on it all after the race, so thank you all!

Nested SDDC for Testing/Lab/Demo
cPodFactory is one of my projects during my VMware years. The main purpose is to automatically and dynamically create nested SDDC environments. It’s means you have the capability to create a separated but nested vSphere SDDC fully routed (dedicated L2 but L3 routed) configured and ready to use.
It comes with cpodctl
command line giving you all necessary command to manage cPod lifecycle. A cPod is a lab or if you prefer the nested vSphere. You can:
- Create a cPod: naked one (without esx but all networking facilities) or specifying number of esx
- Delete a cPod entirely, caution - it’s fast without roll back
- Deploy & configure vCenter accordingly your cPod
- List all cPods
- Deploy VCF cloudbuilder if you want to transform cPod into VCF cluster(s)
- Retrieve the auto generated cPod password
- Override some variables to customize your cPod
- Use completion in bash to facilitate life with tab key
cpodctl cli:
A large Availability Zone running physical layer by VCF:
cPodFactory also offers:
- Multi availability zones and connect them via wireguard: it’s possible to move workload across different az or to connect services on different cPods
- DNS resolution for all az
- VPN for client with OpenVPN, Windows/Mac/Linux compatible
- DHCP for each L2 connectivity
- Dynamic L3 routing with BGP, with the possibility to peer NSX Edge in a cPod
- Nested NSX and nested VSAN
- It comes with cPodEdge and cPodRouter VM template for connectivity and network services (based on PhotonOS Linux)
- Utilities to automaticaly deploy OVA and Windows/Linux jumpHost in cPod
It needs for the physical layer:
- at least 2 or 3 esx 6.7 + vCenter or VCF with 4 esx
- vSAN for storage or any shared datastore (NFS, iSCSI, FC)
- VLAN backend network or NSX overlay (NSX is not mandatory at all)
I ran it for 4 years to help colleagues to have serious labs and also used it for all my customer workshops. We have never had severe issue of availability or performance - thanks to vSphere for its capabilities to run heavy workloads. It has been deployed in several country interconnected via wireguard: Paris(FR), OVH(FR), Madrid(SP), Munich(DE), Dubai(UAE).
To give you some ideas of use cases:
- Large Proof Of Concept with Tanzu running Telco NVFs and consuming +480Gb memory in kubernetes, 9 esx cPod
- Demo cPod dedicated to vRealize Automation with NSX and vSAN connected with Public Cloud deploying hybrid App
- multi VCF cPods in different regions (Paris <-> Dubai) moving VM workloads via HCX
- Cloud Migration from cPod in OVH to VMC in AWS, moving VM via HCX, fully routed without application interruption, keeping on-prem DB
- All new vSphere 8 cPod with Tanzu Grid 2.0 for training purpose
- nVIDIA AI Enterprise naked cPod bringing agile AI for enterprise running on vSphere
This project is open source. You can use it, improve it but not in production. Nested is not supported/allowed for production.
Check out git repo - you find here all the necessary to install yours.
Enjoy!

Sea level is affected by many parts of the climate system. The warming of the oceans has a direct effect through thermal expansion of water (warmer water expands) causing it to take up more space. Our warming atmosphere is melting more snow and ice which we can see in the contributions of melting ice towards sea level rise. Finally we look at the role of post-glacial or 'isostatic rebound' defined as sections of land once buried under large amounts of ice slowly rise back up as the weight of the ice is removed.
The ocean plays a major role in Earth's climate system, absorbing heat as the world has been warming. Users can click down through different ocean depths to see temperatures and see how the ocean is storing heat content. As the ocean warms it expands causing sea level to rise, currently accounting for about half of all sea level rise.
The Earth's atmosphere has been steadily warming, with the ten warmest recorded temperatures occurring since 1998. However, the atmosphere has warmed unevenly with the Arctic temperatures increasing at almost twice the rate as mid latitudes. A warming atmosphere causes more melt of glaciers and Arctic ice causing sea level to rise.
Melting from the world's mountain glaciers and polar ice sheets accounts for about half of the sea level rise around the world. However, the potential in the ice sheets is significant with over 66 meters (217 ft.) of sea level rise tied up in the ice sheets alone.
The loading and unloading of the ice sheets has a long term effect on local global sea level. Ice, where it is stacked on the land, causes the land to sink under its weight. As the ice melts it can take thousands of years for the land to respond rising back up. This has effects on local sea level both in sections of land under the ice sheet, and in areas further away that have been popped up as other sections settle. Another name for this process is called isostatic rebound.

Digital Pictures (Supervisors - John Mariella & Bob Munro), Pacific Title/Mirage Digital & Pop Film and Pop Animation, Animatronics - Jim Henson's Creature Workshop (Supervisor - David Barrington Holt), Production Design - William A. Elliott. Production Company - Joseph M. Singer Entertainment/Davis Entertainment Co/20th Century Fox. Eddie Murphy (Dr John Dolittle), Kristen Wilson (Lisa Dolittle), Kyla Pratt (Maya Dolittle), Oliver Platt (Dr Mark Weller), Richard Schiff (Dr Gene Reiss), Ossie Davis (Archer Dolittle), Peter Boyle (Calloway), Jeffrey Tambor (Dr Fish) Voices: Norm MacDonald (Lucky), Albert Brooks (Tiger), Chris Rock (Rodney)
Plot: By accident GP John Dolittle suddenly rediscovers his forgotten childhood ability to talk to animals. He is promptly driven around the bend as animals everywhere come to him seeking help.
I grew up with Hugh Lofting's original Dr Dolittle stories written in the 1920s and still remember their delightfully fabulist charms - not unakin to the absurdist joys of a Pippi Longstocking or a 'Wind in the Willows'. So you may understand my bias against this current adaption of the stories. This is a version that might be politely termed a bastardization. About all the film has in common with the stories is the central concept of a doctor who can talk to animals - with everything else having been tossed out. It does have a brief scene in common with the 1967 film version where Dolittle gets thrown in an asylum but other than that the stories have been fed through the modern American children's film formula. Out has gone the period setting and all of Dr Dolittle's fantastical encounters with exotic animals - the talking hamsters and tigers here, technically superb and all as they are, sadly never compensate for the lack of any Push-Me-Pull-You's or Giant Pink Snails. Instead we have a cute, feelgood film which is merely about a character with an outlandish gift. The film wheels out all the cliches associated with this sort of comedy - the doctor's family thinking him crazy, the one-dimensional tightass villains, trite little speeches about being special, the doctor's eventually proving himself and everybody accepting his gift. The 1967 film version may not have been particularly good but it certainly had more of the spirit of the originals than this does.
The film is directed by Betty Thomas, a former actress best known for the part of Lucy Bates, the beat-cop with a frustrated mothering complex on tv's 'Hill Street Blues'. Thomas began to branch out into directing with the likes of the highly acclaimed tv movie 'My Breast' (1994) and received a Best Directing Emmy nomination for the tv movie 'The Late Shift' (1996) about the network wars between the David Letterman and Jay Leno talkshows. Thomas then broke into feature films and had notable success with 1995's 'The Brady Bunch Movie' followed by 1997's 'Private Parts' about the on-air hijinks of Howard Stern.
Unfortunately Thomas is not a very good director. 'The Brady Bunch Movie' consisted only of a single-note joke about sarcastically puncturing the original tv series' naivete, and 'Private Parts' seemed entirely taken up by a scatological admiration for its subject matter Howard Stern's adolescent on-air antics. 'Dr Dolittle' might have been a funnier film if it had a better director - there are several scenes like Dolittle being caught giving mouth-to-mouth to a hamster or acting as an animal therapist that would have been hilarious on paper.  The talking animals are voiced with the irritating people-saying-silly-things-in-falsetto-voices that shows like 'America's Funniest Home Videos' seem to regard as the height of humour. The film stars funny man Eddie Murphy who over the last couple of years has been trying to rejuvenate a flagging career by reinventing himself in fantasy films but the film fails to give him any opportunity to open up and do the wild and crazy things he does best. In all a sad and lamentable vulgarization of a fine set of children's stories.

Tomorrow Never Dies A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1997 Marty Mapes
**1/2 (out of 4) TOMORROW NEVER DIES is another link in the chain of James Bond movies. It doesn't deviate too far from the formula, so if you know your Bond, you know what you're getting.
The villain this time is media mogul Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) who wants his near-monopoly on news and information, to become a monopoly.  Because he's scripting the war, his news reports can stay well ahead of the competition.
James Bond (Pierce Brosnan) is called in to examine possible links between Carver and strange activity in the waters off China. China sends Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh), who becomes Bond's partner and counterpart.
 Yeoh, who has worked in Hong Kong action movies, most notably with Jackie Chan, is a great counterpart to Brosnan. She has a scene where she singlehandedly takes out a squadron of bad guys. Bond shows up in time to "save" her from the last villain, but we know who really won the fight. Wai Lin's relationship with Bond is professional, not sexual, which seems at first like a refreshing twist, but is really a necessity: she couldn't sleep with 007 (in his own movie) and keep her dignity as an equal.
Desmond Llewelyn makes his 16th appearance as Q, outlasting every other Bond actor. He has the usual gadgets for "doublo sev'n," including, of course, several car-mounted devices that are sure to make for some excellent chase scenes. Judi Dench returns as the tough new M, making sure that the men of the intelligence community don't do too much of their thinking with their balls.
TOMORROW has all the ingredients that we've come to know and love in Bond films: the sexy, sexist title sequences; the gadgets; the stunts; and the big cavernous room with an army of bad guys in identical jump suits. But this is also what holds it back. Nothing new makes this Bond anything more than just a link in the chain. I enjoyed the movie, but it won't go down in the Bond books as a classic.
If this film had been made ten years ago, it might have been more of an achievement. But in this age of computer-generated special effects, some excitement is lost. We know or are wise to suspect that some of the stunts and gimmicks are more fake than they used to be. The days of a "real" fistfight on the back of a jet are gone. But as the politics of Bond have been updated, so too must the look be updated.
One thing hasn't changed though. "James Bond will return."

SLJIT tutorial
Before started
Download the tutorial sources
SLJIT is a light-weight, platform independent JIT compiler, it's easy to
embed to your own project, as a result of its 'stack-less', SLJIT have
some limit to register usage.
Here is some other JIT compiler I digged these days, place here if you have interest:
Libjit/liblighning: - the backend of GNU.net
Libgccjit: - introduced in GCC5.0, its different from other JIT lib, this
one seems like constructing a C code, it use the backend of GCC.
AsmJIT: - branch from the famous V8 project (JavaScript engine in Chrome),
support only X86/X86_64.
DynASM: - used in LuaJIT.
AsmJIT and DynASM work in the instruction level, look like coding with ASM language,
SLJIT look like ASM also, but it hide the detail of the specific CPU, make it more
common, and become portable, libjit work on higher layer, libgccjit as I mention,
really you are constructing the C code.
First program
Usage of SLJIT:
1. #include "sljitLir.h" in the head of your C/C++ program
2. Compile with sljit_src/sljitLir.c
ALL example can be compile like this:
gcc -Wall -Ipath/to/sljit_src -DSLJIT_CONFIG_AUTO=1 \
xxx.c path/to/sljit_src/sljitLir.c -o program
OK, let's take a look at the first program, this program we create a function that
return the sum of 3 arguments.
#include "sljitLir.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef sljit_sw (*func3_t)(sljit_sw a, sljit_sw b, sljit_sw c);
static int add3(sljit_sw a, sljit_sw b, sljit_sw c)
{
void *code;
sljit_sw len;
func3_t func;
/* Create a SLJIT compiler */
struct sljit_compiler *C = sljit_create_compiler();
/* Start a context(function entry), have 3 arguments, discuss later */
sljit_emit_enter(C, 0, 3, 1, 3, 0, 0, 0);
/* The first arguments of function is register SLJIT_S0, 2nd, SLJIT_S1, etc. */
/* R0 = first */
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_S0, 0);
/* R0 = R0 + second */
sljit_emit_op2(C, SLJIT_ADD, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_S1, 0);
/* R0 = R0 + third */
sljit_emit_op2(C, SLJIT_ADD, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_S2, 0);
/* This statement mov R0 to RETURN REG and return */
/* in fact, R0 is RETURN REG itself */
sljit_emit_return(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_R0, 0);
/* Generate machine code */
code = sljit_generate_code(C);
len = sljit_get_generated_code_size(C);
/* Execute code */
func = (func3_t)code;
printf("func return %ld\n", func(a, b, c));
/* dump_code(code, len); */
/* Clean up */
sljit_free_compiler(C);
sljit_free_code(code);
return 0;
}
int main()
{
}
The function sljit_emit_enter create a context, save some registers to the stack,
and create a call-frame, sljit_emit_return restore the saved-register and clean-up
the frame. SLJIT is design to embed into other application, the code it generated
has to follow some basic rule.
The standard called Application Binary Interface, or ABI for short, here is a
document for X86_64 CPU (ABI.pdf),
almost all Linux/Unix follow this standard. MS windows has its own, read this for more:
X86_calling_conventions
When reading the doc of sljit_emit_emter, the parameters 'saveds' and 'scratchs' make
me confused. The fact is, the registers in CPU has different functions in the ABI spec,
some of them used to pass arguments, some of them are 'callee-saved', some of them are
'temporary used', take X86_64 for example, RAX, R10, R11 are temporary used, that means,
they may be changed after a call instruction. And RBX, R12-R15 are callee-saved, those
will remain the same values after the call. The rule is, every function should save
those registers before using it.
Fortunately, SLJIT have done the most for us, SLJIT_S[0-9] represent those 'safe'
registers, SLJIT_R[0-9] however, only for 'temporary used'.
When a function start, SLJIT move the function arguments to S0, S1, S2 register, it
means function arguments are always 'safe' in the context, the limit of using stack for
storing arguments make SLJIT support only 3 arguments max.
Sljit_emit_opX is easy to understand, in SLJIT a data value is represented by 2
parameters, it can be a register, an In-memory data, or an immediate number.
| First parameter | Second parameter | Meaning |
| SLJIT_R*, SLJIT_S* | 0 | Temp/saved registers |
| SLJIT_IMM | Number | Immediate number |
| SLJIT_MEM | Address | In-mem data with Absolute address |
| SLJIT_MEM1(r) | Offset | In-mem data in [R + offset] |
| SLJIT_MEM2(r1, r2) | Shift(size) | In-mem array, R1 as base address, R2 as index,
Shift as size(0 for bytes, 1 for shorts, 2 for
4bytes, 3 for 8bytes) |
Branch
#include "sljitLir.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef sljit_sw (*func3_t)(sljit_sw a, sljit_sw b, sljit_sw c);
/*
This example, we generate a function like this:
sljit_sw func(sljit_sw a, sljit_sw b, sljit_sw c)
{
if ((a & 1) == 0)
return b;
}
*/
static int branch(sljit_sw a, sljit_sw b, sljit_sw c)
{
void *code;
sljit_uw len;
func3_t func;
struct sljit_jump *ret_c;
struct sljit_jump *out;
/* Create a SLJIT compiler */
struct sljit_compiler *C = sljit_create_compiler();
/* 3 arg, 1 temp reg, 3 save reg */
sljit_emit_enter(C, 0, 3, 1, 3, 0, 0, 0);
/* R0 = a & 1, S0 is argument a */
sljit_emit_op2(C, SLJIT_AND, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_S0, 0, SLJIT_IMM, 1);
/* if R0 == 0 then jump to ret_c, where is ret_c? we assign it later */
ret_c = sljit_emit_cmp(C, SLJIT_EQUAL, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_IMM, 0);
/* R0 = b, S1 is argument b */
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_RETURN_REG, 0, SLJIT_S1, 0);
/* jump to out */
out = sljit_emit_jump(C, SLJIT_JUMP);
/* here is the 'ret_c' should jump, we emit a label and set it to ret_c */
sljit_set_label(ret_c, sljit_emit_label(C));
/* R0 = c, S2 is argument c */
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_RETURN_REG, 0, SLJIT_S2, 0);
/* here is the 'out' should jump */
sljit_set_label(out, sljit_emit_label(C));
/* end of function */
sljit_emit_return(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_RETURN_REG, 0);
/* Generate machine code */
code = sljit_generate_code(C);
len = sljit_get_generated_code_size(C);
/* Execute code */
func = (func3_t)code;
printf("func return %ld\n", func(a, b, c));
/* dump_code(code, len); */
/* Clean up */
sljit_free_compiler(C);
sljit_free_code(code);
return 0;
}
int main()
{
}
The key to implement branch is 'struct sljit_jump' and 'struct sljit_label',
the 'jump' contain a jump instruction, it does not know where to jump unless
you set a label to it, the 'label' is a code address just like label in ASM
language.
sljit_emit_cmp/sljit_emit_jump generate a conditional/unconditional jump,
take the statement
ret_c = sljit_emit_cmp(C, SLJIT_EQUAL, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_IMM, 0);
For example, it create a jump instruction, the condition is R0 equals 0, and
the position of jumping will assign later with the sljit_set_label statement.
In this example, it creates a branch like this:
R0 = a & 1;
if R0 == 0 then goto ret_c;
R0 = b;
goto out;
ret_c:
out:
This is how high-level-language compiler handle branch.
Loop
Loop example is similar with Branch.
/*
This example, we generate a function like this:
sljit_sw func(sljit_sw a, sljit_sw b)
{
sljit_sw i;
sljit_sw ret = 0;
for (i = 0; i < a; ++i) {
}
return ret;
}
*/
/* 2 arg, 2 temp reg, 2 saved reg */
sljit_emit_enter(C, 0, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0, 0);
/* R0 = 0 */
sljit_emit_op2(C, SLJIT_XOR, SLJIT_R1, 0, SLJIT_R1, 0, SLJIT_R1, 0);
/* RET = 0 */
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_RETURN_REG, 0, SLJIT_IMM, 0);
/* loopstart: */
loopstart = sljit_emit_label(C);
/* R1 >= a --> jump out */
out = sljit_emit_cmp(C, SLJIT_GREATER_EQUAL, SLJIT_R1, 0, SLJIT_S0, 0);
/* RET += b */
sljit_emit_op2(C, SLJIT_ADD, SLJIT_RETURN_REG, 0, SLJIT_RETURN_REG, 0, SLJIT_S1, 0);
/* R1 += 1 */
sljit_emit_op2(C, SLJIT_ADD, SLJIT_R1, 0, SLJIT_R1, 0, SLJIT_IMM, 1);
/* jump loopstart */
sljit_set_label(sljit_emit_jump(C, SLJIT_JUMP), loopstart);
/* out: */
sljit_set_label(out, sljit_emit_label(C));
/* return RET */
sljit_emit_return(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_RETURN_REG, 0);
After this example, you are ready to construct any program that contain complex branch
and loop.
Here is an interesting fact, 'xor reg, reg' is better than 'mov reg, 0', it save 2 bytes
in X86 machine.
I will give only the key code in the rest of this tutorial, the full source of each
chapter can be found in the attachment.
Call external function
It's easy to call an external function in SLJIT, we use sljit_emit_ijump with SLJIT_CALL*
operation to do so.
SLJIT_CALL[N] is use to call a function with N arguments, SLJIT has only SLJIT_CALL0,
CALL1, CALL2, CALL3, which means you can call a function with 3 arguments in max(that
disappoint me, no chance to call fwrite in SLJIT), the arguments for the callee function
are passed from SLJIT_R0, R1 and R2. Keep in mind to maintain those 'temp registers'.
Assume that we have an external function:
sljit_sw print_num(sljit_sw a);
JIT code to call print_num(S1):
/* R0 = S1; */
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_S1, 0);
/* print_num(R0) */
sljit_emit_ijump(C, SLJIT_CALL1, SLJIT_IMM, SLJIT_FUNC_OFFSET(print_num));
This code call a imm-data(address of print_num), which is linked properly when the
program loaded. There no problem in 1-time compile and execute, but when you planning
to save to file and load/execute next time, that address may not correct as you expect,
in some platform that support PIC, the address of print_num may relocate to another
address in run-time. Check this out:
PIC
Structure access
SLJIT use SLJIT_MEM1 to implement [Reg + offset] memory access.
struct point_st {
sljit_sw x;
int y;
short z;
char d;
char e;
};
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV_SI, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_MEM1(SLJIT_S0),
SLJIT_OFFSETOF(struct point_st, y));
In this case, SLJIT_S0 is the address of the point_st structure, offset of member 'y'
is determined in compile time, the important MOV operation always comes with a
'signed/size' postfix, like this one _SI means 'signed 32bits integer', the postfix
list:
UB = unsigned byte (8 bit)
SB = signed byte (8 bit)
UH = unsigned half (16 bit)
SH = signed half (16 bit)
UI = unsigned int (32 bit)
SI = signed int (32 bit)
P = pointer (sljit_p) size
Array accessing
SLJIT use SLJIT_MEM2 to access arrays, like this:
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_R0, 0, SLJIT_MEM2(SLJIT_S0, SLJIT_S2),
This statement generates a code like this:
The array S0 is declared to be WORD, which will be sizeof(sljit_sw) in length.
Sljit use a 'shift' for length representation: (0 for single byte, 1 for 2
bytes, 2 for 4 bytes, 3 for 8bytes)
The file array_access.c demonstrate a array-print example, should be easy
to understand.
Local variables
SLJIT provide SLJIT_MEM1(SLJIT_SP) to access the reserved space in
sljit_emit_enter's last parameter.
In this example we have to pass the address to print_arr, local variable
is the only choice.
/* reserved space in stack for sljit_sw arr[3] */
sljit_emit_enter(C, 0, 3, 2, 3, 0, 0, 3 * sizeof(sljit_sw));
/* opt arg R S FR FS local_size */
/* arr[0] = S0, SLJIT_SP is the init address of local var */
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_MEM1(SLJIT_SP), 0, SLJIT_S0, 0);
/* arr[1] = S1 */
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_MEM1(SLJIT_SP), 1 * sizeof(sljit_sw), SLJIT_S1, 0);
/* arr[2] = S2 */
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_MEM1(SLJIT_SP), 2 * sizeof(sljit_sw), SLJIT_S2, 0);
/* R0 = arr; in fact SLJIT_SP is the address of arr, but can't do so in SLJIT */
sljit_get_local_base(C, SLJIT_R0, 0, 0); /* get the address of local variables */
sljit_emit_op1(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_R1, 0, SLJIT_IMM, 3); /* R1 = 3; */
sljit_emit_ijump(C, SLJIT_CALL2, SLJIT_IMM, SLJIT_FUNC_OFFSET(print_arr));
sljit_emit_return(C, SLJIT_MOV, SLJIT_R0, 0);
SLJIT_SP can only be used in SLJIT_MEM1(SLJIT_SP). In this case, SP is the
address of 'arr', but we cannot assign it to Reg using SLJIT_MOV opr,
instead, we use sljit_get_local_base, which load the address and offset of
local variable to the target.
Brainfuck compiler
Ok, the basic usage of SLJIT ends here, with more detail, I suggest reading
sljitLir.h directly, having fun hacking the wonder of SLJIT!
The brainfuck machine introduction can be found here:
Brainfuck
Extra
1. Dump_code function
SLJIT didn't provide disassemble functional, this is a simple function to do this(X86 only)
static void dump_code(void *code, sljit_uw len)
{
FILE *fp = fopen("/tmp/slj_dump", "wb");
if (!fp)
fwrite(code, len, 1, fp);
fclose(fp);
#if defined(SLJIT_CONFIG_X86_64)
system("objdump -b binary -m l1om -D /tmp/slj_dump");
#elif defined(SLJIT_CONFIG_X86_32)
system("objdump -b binary -m i386 -D /tmp/slj_dump");
#endif
}

<md-menu>
is a floating panel containing list of options.
By itself, the <md-menu>
element does not render anything. The menu is attached to and opened
via application of the mdMenuTriggerFor
directive:
<md-menu #appMenu="mdMenu">
<button md-menu-item> Settings </button>
<button md-menu-item> Help </button>
</md-menu>
<button md-icon-button [mdMenuTriggerFor]="appMenu">
<md-icon>more_vert</md-icon>
</button>
The menu exposes an API to open/close programmatically. Please note that in this case, an
mdMenuTriggerFor
directive is still necessary to attach the menu to a trigger element in the DOM.
class MyComponent {
@ViewChild(MdMenuTrigger) trigger: MdMenuTrigger;
someMethod() {
this.trigger.openMenu();
}
}
Menus support displaying md-icon
elements before the menu item text.
my-comp.html
<md-menu #menu="mdMenu">
<button md-menu-item>
<md-icon> dialpad </md-icon>
<span> Redial </span>
</button>
<button md-menu-item disabled>
<md-icon> voicemail </md-icon>
<span> Check voicemail </span>
</button>
<button md-menu-item>
<md-icon> notifications_off </md-icon>
<span> Disable alerts </span>
</button>
</md-menu>
By default, the menu will display after and below its trigger. The position can be changed
using the x-position
(before | after
) and y-position
(above | below
) attributes.


Footnote 1. %WINGSTALL_ROOT% represents an environment variable whose name is WINGSTALL_ROOT and value is a path to the Wingstall installation directory.
By default the installation directory is 'C:\wingstall'.
You can check the value of the WINGSTALL_ROOT environment variable from Windows Control Panel | System | Advanced system settings | Environment Variables.
You can also open the Windows Explorer, paste the path that contains %WINGSTALL_ROOT% to the address bar and press enter.

Talking Head Generation with Probabilistic Audio-to-Visual Diffusion Priors
Zhentao Yu*, Zixin Yin*, Deyu Zhou*, Duomin Wang, Finn Wong, Baoyuan Wang
arXiv 2022,
[PDF][Project][Code(coming soon)][BibTeX]
We introduce a simple and novel framework for one-shot audio-driven talking head generation. Unlike prior works that require additional driving sources for controlled synthesis in a deterministic manner, we instead probabilistically sample all the holistic lip-irrelevant facial motions (i.e. pose, expression, blink, gaze, etc.) to semantically match the input audio while still maintaining both the photo-realism of audio-lip synchronization and the overall naturalness.

[PDF][Project][Code(coming soon)][BibTeX]
We present a novel one-shot talking head synthesis method that achieves disentangled and fine-grained control over lip motion, eye gaze&blink, head pose, and emotional expression.
We represent different motions via disentangled latent representations and leverage an image generator to synthesize talking heads from them.

A flyout is a container that slides out from the side of the page and lays over page content to display large amounts of supplementary information related to user tasks. A flyout can contain lists, record views, graphs, or other information displays.
Use a flyout to open records in a list so that users can return to the list view after completing quick tasks on the record pages. If users require a full-screen view of details or need to take multiple actions on the record, navigate to a full page instead.
Use a flyout to drill into an analytical insight so that users can quickly glance into what makes up that insight without spawning another workflow.
Use a flyout to drill into child records so that users can retain the context of the parent record. The flyout only covers part of the current page, so users can refer back to it for context.
Do not use a flyout to navigate from one record to another instance of the same record type. For example, if users on a constituent record select a link to a different constituent record, navigate to the new record. Do not open it in a flyout.
Do not use a flyout to navigate from a child page to its parent page. For example, if users on a gift record select a link to return to a constituent record, navigate to a full-page view of the constituent record. Do not open it in a flyout.
Do not use a flyout when another flyout is already open. If users select a link in a flyout, close the flyout and navigate to the new link location. In other words, limit flyouts to a single drill-in. On further drilling, open a full page.
Do not use a flyout on pages that don't make sense when it closes. For example, on a page to enter grades for a class of students, displaying the names of students doesn't provide value without the grade entry form, so don't use a flyout to display the grade entry form.
Do not use a flyout to display a small amount of additional information. Flyouts are for large amounts of supplementary information. To display smaller amounts of information, use a popover component or an expandable repeater.
Do not use a flyout to display items that need a long time to load such as system-generated reports. Instead, let users continue to use the system, and use a toast to let them know when the content is available.
Do not use a flyout to link to external sites. Open external sites in new tabs. For example, when users select a constituent address, a Google map of that address opens in a new tab.
Do not use a flyout for tasks where users require a full-screen view of details or need to take multiple actions within the view. Navigate to a full page instead.
The background page remains active behind a flyout. When users select a link on the background page to open another record in a list, the flyout loads the new record. When users select a link inside the flyout, the system navigates away from the current page.
When users select a non-interactive element on the background page, the flyout closes. However, when users select a non-interactive element on the background page on touch devices, the flyout does not close because users need to be able touch the background page in order to scroll.
The flyout and its background page scroll independently. When users touch, hover, or focus on the background page, only the background content scrolls. Similarly, when users touch, hover, or focus on the flyout, only the flyout scrolls. This allows users to adjust the content in the flyout without losing context from the page.
Users can select the flyout's left border and drag it to adjust the size. The size can range from 320px to 20px less than the full screen size. If users expand the flyout to the full screen size, it slides 20px to the right to keep a portion of the background page in view. The default size is 50 percent of the screen or 320px, whichever is larger. When users resize the panel, the system remembers their preferred size globally.
The flyout covers the omnibar, but the help panel remains visible in the upper right corner of the screen. The help panel should recognize that the flyout is open and provide appropriate guidance based on the context.
When users perform actions in the flyout to launch modal dialogs, the modal dialogs should cover the entire page.
When a flyout opens records in a list, you can include buttons in the toolbar to open the next record or previous record. For example, if users open a flyout on a constituent record to view the first gift in a list of gifts, the next button opens the second gift in the list. When you include the next and previous buttons in the flyout toolbar, a visual indicator highlights the currently selected row on the page.
When a flyout displays a list, you can include an option in the toolbar to leave the "preview" list and create a new list for further manipulation. The create list button navigates to a new page that contains the new list.
Do not use a flyout when a screen is smaller than 480px. At smaller resolutions, the flyout covers too much of the screen and loses much of its value. For smaller screen sizes, navigate directly to the appropriate record or list.

One of Bitcoin's strengths - the most important in my opinion even - is the low degree of trust you need in others. If you use a full node for your incoming transactions, you know that there was no cheating anytime in the history of your coins:
... with one exception: because there is a need to pick a winner in presence of multiple competing valid versions of the ledger, (a majority of) miners have the authority to pick the version of the block chain that wins. This means their power is limited to choosing the order in which otherwise valid transactions occur, up to and including the right to delay them indefinitely. But they cannot make invalid transaction look valid to a full node.
If you are not running a full node, the amount of trust you're placing in others increases.
So I hope you now see the importance of full nodes in this model. If you run a full node somewhere on the network, and nobody looks at the transactions it validates, it is indeed contributing to the network, but it is not helping with the reduction of trust.
Look at it another way: if only a few large players in the Bitcoin ecosystem were running full nodes, it only requires a malicious intent, or an attack/threat against them, to change the system's rules, as nobody else is validating.
Doing transactions in the Bitcoin ecosystem helps the Bitcoin currency. Running a full node helps the network. Using a full node helps you and the ecosystem reduce the need for trust.
