[gecode-users] Interfacing GeCode to ECLiPSe

Hi Kish,
As it comes to the search interface: I have been discussing with other
LP-minded people and from these discussions I do recall the following design
outline:
Search:
(1) Eclipse tells Gecode to create a choicepoint
(2) Eclipse tells Gecode to backtrack until the next choicepoint (or some
choicepoint if you want it to be
more powerful than that)
Interfacing:
(3) Eclipse tells Gecode about variable modifications
(4) Eclipse tells Gecode to create new variables and propagators
(5) Eclipse instructs Gecode to do propagation and queries Gecode about
changes to variable domains
Then, a starting point for implementing backtracking would be to just use
cloning to make it work (that should be really use but inefficient). Then,
in a second step one could use a hybrid of recomputation and cloning (just
replay what has been done by (3) and (4) and redo propagation). For a
realistic interface Gecode must use recomputation.
I think this kind of interface would be quite useful also for other
languages/systems based on backtracking. Provided that:
- you come up with a naïve implementation that is not Eclipse specific
(say, there will be one part that is Gecode specific and then a separate
part that is Eclipse specific, and the Gecode part can be used without
Eclipse)
- you put the Gecode-specific part under the MIT license
We could optimize the Gecode-specific part including adding recomputation,
include the Gecode-specific part with Gecode and hence adopt and maintain
it.
What do you think?

In a way, it's more flexible. All constraints and variable types
available in Gecode will be automatically available through the
interface. When constraints or variable types are added to Gecode,
they are available without changing the interface code (and maybe even
without recompiling the interface).

Yes, that's how they work. For our Java interface (which is generated
by swig), we had to write quite some glue code, too.

Sure, that shouldn't be a problem. Gecode is quite dynamic anyway, it
would be an artificial restriction to make this static.

The other interfaces usually solve this by providing an object that
represents the search, and which has a "next" method that you can call
as often as there are solutions. I guess you could provide a similar
interface in Eclipse.

Right. But Gecode does not provide a mechanism for undoing these
effects. You can only keep a copy of a space and then redo the effects
instead. But this can be hidden behind some layer of abstraction.

Yes. As reflection will only be used to set up the initial space, it
should work with both approaches.
Cheers,
Guido

Money Play. How should Red play 53?
pips Red=152 White=126
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
If you play quickly you might choose 11/6, 8/5, with the idea of either priming White’s rear checker or falling into a well-timed back game.
The problem is that Red doesn’t really have the timing for a back game and 11/6, 8/5 cedes control of the outfield. Red would like to have to give up his mid-point if possible.
This leads us to the correct play of 21/16, 9/5. This keeps the two-way game plan. The play: fights for outer board control; keeps the 3-pt as a fall-back plan; triplicates White’s fours; gives Red the possible option of making the 16-pt next time, thus providing communication between Red’s checkers.
All other plays are at least errors and 11/6, 8/5 is a blunder (just).

Legault not ruling out a 'Quebec Amazon' to promote local retailers
QUEBEC - Premier Francois Legault is open to the creation of a Quebec version of Amazon, which his economy minister described Wednesday as a way to serve nationalist customers.
Legault and Pierre Fitzgibbon spoke Wednesday about an "Amazon Quebec" ahead of a meeting with representatives of the online giant's Canadian division.
The premier told reporters he is concerned about the lack of Quebec-made products available on Amazon and wants to make sure the company isn't just selling American products to Quebecers.
The idea of a Quebec-focused platform was first floated in 2017 by businessman Alexandre Taillefer, who later became campaign director for the Quebec Liberal Party.
Fitzgibbon went further then the premier, saying the province could "absolutely" invest in a Quebec platform, as long as it was sustainable.
Any such platform, he added, would also have to a include a homegrown delivery mechanism to ensure goods reach their destinations quickly.
"We have products, we have nationalist clients who like to buy in Quebec, so maybe it's time to look more closely at having a structure," he said, adding that he was a big believer in Amazon's model.
Fitzgibbon said Quebec has the capacity to deliver groundbreaking solutions. "I keep hammering on how we need to innovate," he said.
Legault, for his part, said his priority is finding a way to reassure Quebec suppliers.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Nov. 20, 2019.

Listen and Notify provide a simple form of signal or interprocess communication mechanism for a collection of processes accessing the same PostgreSQL™ database. For more information on notifications consult the main server documentation. This section only deals with the JDBC specific aspects of notifications.
Standard LISTEN
, NOTIFY
, and UNLISTEN
commands are issued via the standard
Statement
interface. To retrieve and process retrieved notifications the
Connection
must be cast to the PostgreSQL™ specific extension interface
PGConnection
. From there the getNotifications()
method can be used to retrieve
any outstanding notifications.
A key limitation of the JDBC driver is that it cannot receive asynchronous notifications and must poll the backend to check if any notifications were issued. A timeout can be given to the poll function, but then the execution of statements from other threads will block.
Example 9.2. Receiving Notifications
import java.sql.*;
public class NotificationTest
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
{
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
String url = "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test";
// Create two distinct connections, one for the notifier
// and another for the listener to show the communication
// works across connections although this example would
// work fine with just one connection.
Connection lConn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"test","");
Connection nConn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"test","");
// Create two threads, one to issue notifications and
// the other to receive them.
Listener listener = new Listener(lConn);
Notifier notifier = new Notifier(nConn);
listener.start();
notifier.start();
}
}
class Listener extends Thread
{
private Connection conn;
private org.postgresql.PGConnection pgconn;
Listener(Connection conn) throws SQLException
{
this.conn = conn;
this.pgconn = conn.unwrap(org.postgresql.PGConnection.class);
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.execute("LISTEN mymessage");
stmt.close();
}
public void run()
{
try
{
while (true)
{
org.postgresql.PGNotification notifications[] = pgconn.getNotifications();
// If this thread is the only one that uses the connection, a timeout can be used to
// receive notifications immediately:
// org.postgresql.PGNotification notifications[] = pgconn.getNotifications(10000);
if (notifications != null)
{
for (int i=0; i < notifications.length; i++)
System.out.println("Got notification: " + notifications[i].getName());
}
// wait a while before checking again for new
// notifications
Thread.sleep(500);

. GODS AND MONSTERS A film review by Christopher Null Copyright 1998 Christopher Null
It will probably be honored as a triumph of filmmaking (and indeed has already one the National Board of Review's Best Picture award), but while GODS AND MONSTERS is a good film, it's really more of a curiosity than a legitimate masterpiece.
The adaptation of a fictionalized account of the final days of director Frank Whale (best known for directing the first two FRANKENSTEIN movies), director Condon's story is really a simple one, about Whale's infatuation with his gardner Clay (Fraser). That Whale is a not-so-in-the-closet homosexual is pretty clear up front, but for some reason, Clay can't figure that out.
What follows is a series of encounters between the two, the degeneration of Whale's mind thanks to a stroke, and, most curiously, one dream/fantasy sequence after another, wherein Whale relives his childhood, World War I, and his years in Hollywood.
The dream sequence, long known as the biggest crutch a screenwriter can use, works. At least part-way. Because Whale's mind is going south, we are asked to indulge his fantasies as near-reality for him. Like I say, this works, but only up to a point. After two hours, the device has grown stale and predictable.
Still, GODS is a truly good film with a great cast (McKellan and especially Redgrave, playing Whale's maid, both deserve serious praise), and what must have been a tricky adaptation of the novel on which it was based is also a feat unto itself.

Founded in February 2004, the goal of the CFEclipse project is to create a plugin for the Eclipse platform that provides a professional quality IDE for CFML developers. Currently the CFEclipse plugin is one of the top rated Eclipse plugins at Eclipse Plugin Central and is in use by developers across the globe. CFEclipse offers most of the features found in traditional CFML editors and quite a few more that they don't. As well as allowing developers to take advantage of the wealth of other Eclipse plugins, CFEclipse comes with a developer friendly price tag... It's FREE!
With the recent announcement of the Adobe ColdFusion IDE Bolt Mark Drew blogged about the future of CFEclipse - Is CFEclipse Dead?
CFEclipse has a wealth of features to appeal to ColdFusion developers:

Let me preface this posting with this: I am not a chemist, I took chemistry in high school and for a short stint in college. I would like to believe I used a reasonably scientific method for my testing and would encourage the same of anyone else who tries anything of this nature. Of course I post these results only as a detailed informational guide for anyone who is interested in attempting this legal (as far as I know) extraction process.

LSA extraction into Ethonal base (190proof Everclear)
-----------------------------------------------------------
5:40PM Ground 378 seeds to powder
5:45PM Placed powder into 296ml of Naptha / shook solution vigorously
5:50PM Set aside MG powder in Naptha bath (~20min)
6:12PM Began filtration process through coffee filter NOTE: very slow
6:34PM Still filtering, process is extremely slow, down to large pieces now
6:49PM The extraction process is complete, sandlike seed remains placed directly under 40watt bulb (Desk lamp 2-3' from substance) on several layers of thick paper towel
NOTE: The sticky gum on masking tape is turned into a gooey substance by Naptha, remember not to use it again
7:03PM Using a pocketknife, I cut/mixed the sand/powder substance to ensure even distribution, and that everything was dry before the alcohol bath
NOTE: VERY VERY Few of the people that tried extracting LSA from morning glory seeds that posted to the 'net actually followed the directions given in the FAQ. Aside from the nausea elimiting step, almost all neglected the grind to a powder and soak in strong (read 190prf) alcohol to extract the LSA as it is soluable in an ethanol based liquid. The closest thing to the aformentioned procedure, was someone who decided to evaporate off some of the alcohol to rid it of an ether smell. I can assume he evaporated off much of the LSA that was dissolved into the alcohol, as his results were poor at best.
7:09PM Substance (powder/sand mix) is completely dry, dumped onto sheet of paper and into glass jar w/1.5shots (approx 1.5oz) of Everclear 190prf grain alcohol.
7:14PM Solution placed in cool dark location for LSA extraction process
11/17/99
2:48PM Solution agitated
4:10PM Solution agitated
11:14PM Observations: Solution is in several layers, bottom layer consists of larger assumed heavier pieces of seed, middle layer is sediment like in nature (powder)with the top being the slightly yellowish tinged liquid. Agitating solution
11/18/99
3:00PM Solution agitated
11/19/99
5:46AM Solution agitated /observation: The clear solution above the sediment at the bottom of the jar appears to have a milky substance in it (pre agitation).
6:32PM Begin filtration process of final LSA enriched solution
6:57PM Solution processing complete. It is a clear/yellowish color similar to weak lemonade. A prior net posting stated it had a urine color to it.
6:58PM Recording heart rate: (42bm/30s) extrapolated to 84bpm
7:00PM Solution scent is very 'chemically' for lack of a better word. Definitely doesn't smell the same as straight alcohol. Not the naptha either, it is a unique smell Also, it seems to burn the nostrils if you inhale to deeply.
7:10PM After initial strength testing I have determined the solution too powerful for direct consumption, and that it *must* be cut with something in order to drink it. I have placed approx 1/3 of the solution into the last of the OJ in the house and I am attempting to drink it now.
NOTE: From the FAQ: 'if you sip a bit and hold it in your mouth before swallowing..' this is much easier said than done. When was the last time you held a 190prf liquid in your mouth? It's rather difficult. When I was 18 I had few issues drinking everclear straight, I'm older and wiser now and know better than to try that. (I also have a Foster's beer handy to chase any aftertaste, however I will attempt to refrain from using it in order to not cloud the LSA experience)
FROMNET:From the Erowid vault on Morning Glory seed dosage levels:
Ipomoea violacea Dosages
------------------------
Light 50-100 seeds 1.5-3 grams
Medium 100-250 seeds 3-6 grams
Strong 250-400 seeds 6-10 grams *
Heavy 400+ 10+ grams
*(The 378 I have sitting here falls into this cat.)
7:16PM The first 1/3 of the solution has been ingested, no effects yet. The FAQ proports near immediate effects if the solution is swished around in the mouth for a few moments, but this is inconcievable to me. Also, that first 1/3 of 378 seeds falls into the lower end of a medium dosage, I will wait until 7:30PM if no effects, another 1/3 will be consumed.
7:21PM My face feels flushed and warm, checking in a mirror reveals a little extra color in my cheeks, of course this could just be the everclear. (some alcohols do this to me)
7:31PM No noteable effects to record, however walking downstairs in order to obtain something to cut the remaining solution with I thought I saw horizontal lines accross my field of vision, it didn't last long and I considered that I may be thinking myself high.
NOTE: Rasberry crystal light is all I can find, in a vain attempt to make it overpower the everclear, I cut the water down by 1/2. We'll see.. : Another note, although I've only taken 1/3 and its only been about 20 minutes, it is a bit of a letdown. Although I didn't expect the walls to start breathing or anthing like that, I was hoping for *something*
The rasberry crystal light is masking the flavor 20times better than the OJ did, but it still isn't 'easy' to drink.
7:41PM Finished consuming 2nd 1/3 portion of the solution, there is now approx 1/3 left waiting to be ingested. Still no results from the inital 2/3s I have drank, which equates to roughly 252 seeds or 232ug (micrograms) of Lysergic Acid Amides which are 5-10% as potent as LSD (Lysergic Acid Diethylamide)
7:45PM Heartrate is: 41bp/30s extrapolated to 82bpm
7:51PM Sadly still no effects, reports I've read suggest about 45minutes, it has been almost that long. I will give it one last shot and ingest the last 1/3 of the solution. The only effects I have received are a mild flushing of the cheeks, a very mild headache (almost non-existant)and slightly upset stomach. All of the aforementioned syptoms can be accounted for based on the everclear content of the drink, and the fact that I started with a completely empty stomach. Mixing/drinking now.
8:02PM I went into the bathroom to turn out the light and looked in the mirror to see if I noticed anything. I thought for a moment I saw something, a facial feature bend/distort, but I stayed there and continued to look but to no avail. I don't feel terribly nautious, but I definitely feel as though I cannot finish the drink. I drank about 1/2 of it so I did ingest most of what I need.
8:18PM Still no effects, I just got done cleaning up the liquid vomit that I was unable to control. No orange coloring, all red, so I assume the first 1/3 was retained although I think I lost the last 3rd possibly some of the 2nd. In either case, cleaning was not fun as I have tan carpets and 2xCrystal light is not fun to clean. I'm rather upset about this entire experiment, both the amount of effort that went into testing and at the lack of any effects of any kind at all.
~8:30-8:45PM
Fell asleep. I must note that during sleep I had a very vivid dream that I was in a diner or something like that, and on acid with the full blown effects. This dream was very likely influenced by the potion, however I cannot say how much I really ended up ingesting, since I threw up a reasonable portion of it. If I was to ever attempt this again, I would have made the solution a *lot* more potent by adding much much less alcohol.
Conclusions:
Although I cannot be certain how much I actually retained, I can be certain that some very mild effects were noticed while concious, and while unconcious slightly more powerful effects were observed. The times where I thought I hallucinated while concious were similar to the beginnings
of an acid trip, while the unconcious trip was much like a regular acid trip however it was entirely while asleep which to mean ruins the whole point of taking the drug in the first place.
For me, I want to see wild and strange things that are not normal which I am lucid and concious, bizzare things happen in dreams without drugs anyway, so I'm not interested in those subconcious altered states. I'm also into looking at plain things, rather than 'trippy posters' and 'acid toys' I get off more on looking at a stick for 10 minutes before I am able to realize that's what I've been looking at.
Will I do it again? Who knows... if I do there are certainly things I would change, and it may be worth it to see if a more refined process makes any difference. Let me also note that I am not refuting any of the prior postings, I am however simply posting what I did and what I went through.
To me, it was a lot of effort, for little/no effect. My next home experiment will be to attempt to grow psclicibin (sp?) mushrooms at home.

Three months ago, I made a MEME about CryptoKittes to complain the Ethereum blockchain.
At the end, I still don’t have one kitty at all. I don’t know if it’s easier now but I have lost the enthusiasm.
A while ago, I was told that there is another cryptopet game coming named UnicornGO, so I checked it out and decided to invest a little bit so I can have one Unicorn. Although when I invested, the price had become less favorable. Anyway, I just want one.
I do not want to endorse the project nor do I want to encourage you to do the same. But if you are willing to take your risk to get a chance to own a cryptopet firsthand, you are welcome to use my ref link here (thank you!):

EVEREST
Reviewed by Harvey Karten, Ph.D. MacGillivray Freeman Films/Arcturus Motion Pictures Director: Greg MacGillivray, David Breashears, Ed Viesturs Writers: Tim Cahill, Stephen Judson Cast: Ed Viesturs, Araceli Segarra, Jamling Tenzing Norgay, Sumiyo Tsuzuki, Paula Viesturs, Liam Neeson (Narrator)
It is a fact well established that people travel exclusively to impress their friends. Knowing that, it's surprising that New Yorkers will vacation merely in Puerto Rico and the English in Benidorm. Could you not better arouse the envy and admiration of your buddies back home by making Nepal your destination? After all, why fool around with Bunker Hill when you gaze at Mount Everest--even try your skill at climbing a mile or so? But think about this. Many people have tried to climb to the summit and died. At least one adventurer lost both of his hands to frostbite. When stormy weather comes and the wind-chill favor falls to one hundred degrees below zero, you may wish you had gone to Disneyworld instead.
But if you're still game to try, you have this consolation: your body will help you to adjust. If you ascend gradually, the number of red cells in your body will double so that you can acquire more oxygen. (If you tried to go from sea level to the top in one fell swoop, you'd be unconscious in minutes, dead shortly thereafter.) On the other hand, as you approach the summit, don't expect to be able to think straight, to jog to the top, to sleep or even eat. Mother Nature uses every trick in her book to prevent you from reaching your goal, and to prove this, MacGillivray Freeman Films has put together a spectacular, forty-five minute film which no mere printed material could possibly replicate. "Everest," one of the most impressive nature film ever released, is on display on the 77-foot screen of New York's Sony IMAX theater and will be screened, presumably at additional IMAX locations. Filmed in 2-D and thereby requiring no special devices for viewing, "Everest" makes a good case for reserving half of IMAX screens for pictures using this less adventurous technology. What you lose from bypassing the in-your-face highlight of the 3-D machinery you gain in lightness of head and the familiar border separating you, the audience, from them, the performers. "Everest," in fact, has its own three- dimensional look that conventional screens are quite unable to imitate.
Filmed in Utah, New Hampshire, Colorado, Baja California and Nepal, "Everest" answers the question posed by the magazine "Nineteenth Century" during the 1870s, "Can Mount Everest Be Climbed?" In a brief historical footnote, we learn that New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa mountaineer Tenzing Norgay reached the summit May 29, 1953. Like the breaking of the four-minute mile by an Australian runner decades ago, this breakthrough led to several successful expeditions between then and now, though the feat is hardly a piece of cake. Though seven hundred people have reached the top, one hundred fifty died trying.
The expedition team which filmed "Everest" was led by David Breashears, who signed Ed Viesturs to the team--a man who not only had reached the summit twice before but did so without extra oxygen. Also joining the team were Viesturs's wife, Paula, who not unwisely thought that this was a strange sort of honeymoon; Jamling Tenzing Norgay, who is the son of Tenzing Norgay (Hillary's guide in '53); and Araceli Segarra, whose goal was to become the first Spanish woman ever to reach the top of the world. To train for the trip, the Viesturses rode their bikes across some Utah canyons, in itself an expedition far too dangerous for most people to undergo as a sudden flat or an improper turn would lead bike and rider down a slipper slope. The viewer is already given the treat of this spectacular rocky scenery right here in our own country, a setting that could perhaps be surpassed in resplendence only by Mount Everest itself.
David Breashears's camera tracks the climb from base camp to the higher levels, focusing on points of singularly high drama, particularly on the Khumbu glacier--a moving waterfall of ice, considered the deadliest place on the mountain because ice blocks can shift and swallow a climber. Though the presentation is essentially a travelogue--a uniquely magnificent one at that--"Everest" underscores some plot points particularly in its visual description of the plight of one of the climbers, who had left his pregnant wife in New Zealand to make the ascent and died during a fierce storm. Spectators in the IMAX audience are given the actual struggle to save his life, as climbers from the safer base thousands of feet below radioed him to try to assure the hapless adventurer that everything would be all right. In the film's climactic moment, Segarra is shown at the moment she becomes the first Spanish woman to reach the top of the world.
At a special invitational screening, the world's second such event, the audience were treated to a brief conference by Breashears and Viestura, who answered questions from the audience, the most poignant being "What do you do with the bodies of those who die in the attempt?" "There are no formal burials," explained the director, "As there is now way that the extra weight can be supported." Victims are left where they are, at best covered up by those who discover them.
Getting to the top of nature's most impressive giant is awe-inspiring enough. Getting there while toting some of the heaviest and most sophisticated cameras yet known-- instruments which will not quit at 40 below--is imposing. In short, "Everest" is not your usual set of travel photographs that you carry back to bore your friends and relatives with.

This is a very new area of research at VMware. Only about 2 years ago. Since thm is is a Tech Preview it has no roadmap for when it will be available.
The Problem:
Many different workloads hit the same set of disks/arrays/spindles etc. Low priority processes that run ad-hoc or other times will cause higher priority systems to experience an impact. What you want to see is that the low priority VM gets less performance than the higher priority systems. The question is how you can do this?
A solution: Resource Controls
Assigning out shares based on disk performances. Just like CPU/Memory shares of the original ESX days. Higher shares total for a host gets higher priority for that shared VMFS volume.
To configure this you'd go into the VM and set the shares. Fairly straight forward. The setting is shares and then the limiting factor is IOPS. Interesting idea.
First case study covers two separate hosts with the IO DRS turned on running the same workload levels and saw a pretty significant difference in terms of IOPS & Latency measures. With it turned off both VMs ran at 20 ms & 1500 IOPS. With it on the Latency changed to 16 ms and 31 ms and a similar spread for IOPS. Nice..
Case study two is a a more serious one with SQL server running. The shares were 4:1 and the ratios were not that in terms of performance. The thing that they are seeing is that load time matters significantly. Overall thruput is working right and good though the loads make a big difference.
The demo went and showed changing the shares on the fly and the Limit for IOPS and watched the IOMeter machines adjust immediately. When limiting the IOPS the other systems picked up the slack and got more performance.
After showing the demo the presenters asked if anyone in the packed room (and I do mean PACKED) would find a value to this? Everyone immediately raised their hands.
The tech approach is first to detect congestion. If latency is above a threshold and then trigger the IO DRS. If it isn't borked don't fix it. IO DRS works by controling the IOs issued per host. The sum of the vms on the host with IO DRS enabled is compared with other hosts to determine share priority. So first the host is picked and then the VMs shares on that host are prioritized and then back to the host discussion. The share control goes against all hosts using that same VMFS volume.
IO slots are filled based on the shares on each host. There are so many IO slots per Host. This is how the IOs are controled for share congestion work.
Two major performance metrics in storage industry. Bandwidth (MB/s) and Throughput (IOPS). Each have their pros and cons. Bandwidth helps workloads with large IO sizes and IOPS is good for lots of sequential workloads. IO DRS controls the array queue among the VMs. Then if a VM has lots of small IOs they can continue to do things and have high IOPS. Conversely if it has large IOs it is doing then it will get high bandwidth and low IOPS using the same share control system.
Case studies and test runs have shown that Device level latency stays the same as workloads change. Some tests have shown that with IO DRS IOPS can go up simply due to the workloads involved. Control of the IOs allows all to work though depending on the workload a VM can accomplish more.
The key understanding is that IO DRS really helps when there is congestion. When things are good and latency is not high enough to trigger the system, the shares are not used. If a high IO share system is not using its slots, they are reassigned to other VMs in the cluster.
The gain overall is the ability to do performance isolation amoung VMs based on Disk IO.
In the future they are looking to tie this into more vStorage APIs and VMotions and Storage VMotions, IOP reservation potentially etc.
Rocking cool and can't wait for this to come out.


Eating Enough of These Two Nutrients May Lower Your Risk of Lung Cancer
by Danielle Zickl- According to new research published in JAMA Oncology, consuming fiber and probiotics regularly can lower your risk of lung cancer.
- For fiber, women should aim for 25 grams per day, and men should aim for 38 grams per day.
- For probiotics, look for foods that contain at least 25 billion CFUs (colony-forming units) and contains at least eight probiotic strains.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Eating a healthy, balanced diet is one of the major keys to success when it comes to running and racing well. Fueling with foods that contain important nutrients like fiber, prebiotics, and probiotics ensure that every part of your body—from your brain to your muscles to your gut—is functioning at its best.
Now, new research out of Vanderbilt University Medical Center has linked the consumption of these nutrients to a lower risk of developing lung cancer, too.
The review, published in JAMA Oncology, analyzed the diets of more than 1.44 million people from previous studies that were conducted in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Researchers found that people who regularly consumed high amounts of fiber and yogurt were between 15 to 19 percent less likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer than those who regularly consumed little to no fiber and yogurt.
Additionally, those who regularly consumed the highest amounts of yogurt and fiber were 33 percent less likely to be diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)—a progressive disease of lung function decline that is also a risk factor for lung cancer development.
While the team at Vanderbilt aren’t fully certain why this is, they suspect that the anti-inflammatory properties of these foods and nutrients may help reduce lung cancer risk.
Thanks to their prebiotic and probiotic properties, dietary fiber and yogurt help improve the bacterial makeup of your gut, explained lead study author Jae Jeong Yang, Ph.D., a research fellow at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
“The gut microbiome plays a major role in reducing inflammation, one of major promoters for lung cancer,” Yang told Bicycling.
[Build a killer midsection in the kitchen for effortless miles on the road with Eat for Abs !]
Prebiotics are typically found in high-fiber foods and are beneficial for your immune system and metabolism, according to Yang. Prebiotics are also what “feed” probiotics—or the good bacteria in your gut. Probiotics, Yang said, are living microorganisms, commonly included in yogurt, that can improve the composition or function of gut microbiota and benefit the immune system.
“We expect that people who consume more fiber and yogurt would have a healthier microbiome, and thus promote good health overall,” she said.
Women should aim for 25 grams of fiber per day, and men should aim for 38 grams of fiber per day, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Foods high in fiber:

The most common probiotic strains you’ll find in foods are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. Look for foods that contain at least 25 billion CFUs (colony-forming units) and contains at least eight probiotic strains.
“I generally recommend 25 to 35 billion CFUs. Keep in mind that while 25 to 35 billion CFUs may sound like a lot, our gut microbiota contains tens of trillions of microorganisms weighing about 2 kilograms,” according to Barbara Lewin, R.D.N., C.S.S.D., L.D.N.
Foods high in probiotics:
- Yogurt
- Kefir
- Sauerkraut
- Kombucha
While the best way to reduce your risk of lung cancer is to not smoke—or quit as soon as possible if you do smoke—a healthy diet can also contribute to a lower risk as well.

William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 – 23 April 1616)
Was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely
regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is
often called England's national poet, and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including
collaborations, consist of approximately 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a
few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living
language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright

I'm working on the final classes for a Brown Bag lunch I'll be giving to the development teams at GHN sometime soon. Its entitled “Practical Test Driven Development” and is focused on actually putting NUnit to use in the development of projects. How to reorganize your development cycle, the benefits, and time involved, etc. I'll probably post the slides here sometime soon.

| standaloneBuilder Version 0.1.4 | |
|
standaloneBuilder is designed to help simplify the process of getting
a PythonCard applpication distributed in standalone form, without the
end user being required to install PythonCard, wxPython or even Python
itself.
Developed using the PythonCard GUI toolkit and wxPython, http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net |


These are done opportunistically, using 9 actions each time the card is drawn.
(One to enter, 7 for your allotted
Permission to Linger, and one to leave.)
A simple grind where you just spam the same action.
Requires Watchful 125 for full success. Don't double-count the Echoes and the
Extraordinary Implications reported here; the EIs are already factored in to
the income.
The next three all follow the same basic principle: Use the chosen action in
Near Arbor to build Attar to 5 (or more), when you are forcibly moved to Far
Arbor. Then continue to build Attar using the given method, until finally
converting it all using
Gift your Attar in tribute to the Roseate Queen. Because the conversion has a rare success
that converts all remaining Attar at once, when doing large enough batches the cost of movement and
conversion is negligible, and the efficiency approaches that of the chosen action loop. However, the
profits are deferred, whereas with spying they are immediate. Note that Surrendering also pays some
of its profit immediately, in the form of Extraordinary Implications.
The following action will be used to gain Attar in Near Arbor:
The following action will be used to gain Attar in Far Arbor:
Active Grinds
It used to be possible to actively grind in Arbor, using
Investigate the Near-Arbori,
to trade Extraordinary Implications for Permission to Linger. In July 2020 that action was changed,
and it is no longer possible to gain Permission to Linger.

Automation testing is a Software testing technique to test and compare the actual outcome with the expected outcome. This can be achieved by writing test scripts or using any automation testing tool. Test automation is used to automate repetitive tasks and other testing tasks which are difficult to perform manually.
The goal of automation is to reduce the number of test cases to be run manually and not eliminate manual testing all together. For a developer automated testing is important due to these reasons :
Manual testing of all work flows, fields and negative scenarios is time and cost consuming
It is difficult to test for multilingual sites manually
Automation does not require human intervention. You can run automated test unattended
Automation increases speed of test execution and test coverage
Manual testing can become boring and lead to errors in work
For test cases that need to be executed repeatedly
For test cases that are very tedious or difficult to perform manually
Test cases that can be time consuming
Business critical test cases that are of higher risks

RESTOperation Class Reference
| Inherits from | NSObject |
| Declared in | RESTOperation.h |
Overview
Represents an HTTP request to a RESTResource, and its response.
Can be used either synchronously or asynchronously. Methods that return information about the
response, such as httpStatus or -body, will block if called before the response is available.
Or you can explicitly block by calling wait.
On the other hand, to avoid blocking you can call onCompletion: to schedule an Objective-C
block to run when the response is complete. (Yes, the non-blocking mode takes a block... :)
Tasks
Other Methods
-
– initWithResource:request:
Initializes a RESTOperation, but doesn’t start loading it yet.
Call -load, wait or any synchronous method to start it.
-
resource
The RESTResource instance that created this operation.
property -
URL
The target URL of this operation.
property(This is not necessarily the same as the URL of its resource! It's often the same, but it may have query parameters or sub-paths appended to it.)
-
name
The last component of the URL’s path.
property -
method
The HTTP method of the request.
property -
request
The underlying URL request.
property -
isReadOnly
property -
isGET
< Is this a GET or HEAD request?
property -
isPUT
< Is this a GET request?
property -
isPOST
< Is this a PUT request?
property -

property -
– setValue:forHeader:
Sets an HTTP request header. Must be called before loading begins!
-
requestBody
The HTTP request body. Cannot be changed after the operation starts.
property -
– start
Sends the request, asynchronously. Subsequent calls do nothing.
-
– onCompletion:
Will call the given block when the request finishes.
This method may be called multiple times; blocks will be called in the order added.
-
– wait
Blocks till any pending network operation finishes (i.e. isComplete becomes true.)
start will be called if it hasn't yet been. On completion, any pending onCompletion blocks are called first, before this method returns. The synchronous methods below all end up calling this one.
-
– wait:
Same as -wait but also returns any resulting error in the outError parameter.
This is useful if the receiver is an intermediate value not accessible in a variable, for instance if you do something like [[resource GET] wait: &error]
-
+ wait:
Blocks until all of the given operations have finished.
-
– cancel
Stops an active operation.
The operation will immediately complete, with error NSURLErrorCancelled in domain NSURLErrorDomain. Has no effect if the operation has already completed.
-
isComplete
YES if the response is complete (whether successful or unsuccessful.)
property -
error
If the request has failed, this will be set to an NSError describing what went wrong; else it’s nil.
propertyAn HTTP response status of 300 or greater is considered an error and will cause this property to be set. This method does not block, but it won't be set to a non-nil value until the operation finishes.
-
isSuccessful
YES if there is no error and the HTTP status is <= 299 (Synchronous.)
property -
httpStatus
HTTP status code of the response (Synchronous.)
propertyUntil the request finishes, this is zero. It's also zero if a lower-level network error occurred (like if the host couldn't be found or the TCP connection was reset.)

property -
responseBody
The body of the response, with its entity headers (Synchronous.)
property -
response
The raw NSHTTPURLResponse object, in case you need it.

propertyA client can store anything it wants here, typically a value parsed from or represented by the response body; often this property will be set by an onCompletion block.
-
– dump
Debugging utility that returns a sort-of log of the HTTP request and response.

Woody Allen's last couple of movies lacked bite and true comic spirit, and I had the feeling his work was going to continue along the lighter side, as in "Everyone Says I Love You." Now with the shockingly disturbing and provocative "Deconstructing Harry," he has created one of his most lacerating, uneven yet truthful comedy-dramas ever.
Woody Allen plays a successful author named Harry Block who's currently facing writer's block on his latest novel. While he's creatively challenged, Harry loves to sleep with any woman he meets, has affairs with girlfriends and wives, and finds a kinky pleasure in sleeping with prostitutes. At one point, he asks one particular prostitute (Hazelle Goodman) to tie him up, beat him, and "give him a blow job." Harry also has a knack for pills and whiskey and little else - all there is his art that feeds his soul, or what he has left of it.
Harry's life is remarkably similar to his novel. The characters he creates are exaggerated figments of people he was once close to (As a counterpoint to his life, Woody dramatizes the real-life characters in his book by having different actors). His Jewish sister and brother-in-law (played by Caroline Aaron and Eric Bogosian) are depicted as hateful denizens in his book yet they are not that different in reality.   "Deconstructing Harry" is an unusual experiment for Woody Allen because he actually dissects himself and his life through his art and through his relationships. One can argue that he has done that with every film he's made, but what is most unusual is how rough Woody is on himself - for the first time in his career, he curses, and talks about sex in graphic detail. He also curses at his ex-wives (Kirstie Alley, Amy Irving) who are always yelling at him for his numerous affairs and for how they are depicted in his novel! The only sweet relationship he has is with a lovely fan (Elisabeth Shue) who's about to marry Harry's best friend (Billy Crystal) who may be the Devil himself!
Woody also has a grand time including scenes from Harry's former novels. There is one where different kinds of Jewish stereotypes are depicted in relation to Harry's family, such as the perfectly cast Demi Moore as a psychotherapist who "sees true beauty and meaning" in Judaism. Then there are the Jewish parties where the guests are dressed as Darth Vader and the waiters as stormtroopers! How about his uncle who may killed his first wife and eaten her! And then there's Woody's greatest comic invention since "Zelig" called "The Actor," a character (Robin Williams) who is always out of focus!
"Deconstructing Harry" juggles a lot of characters and situations and throws them up in the air with great abandon. Woody Allen's visual style is more complex since there are less long takes and lots of jump cuts to emphasize Harry's own dissection of his life and the others around him. The film doesn't always succeed nor is he as deconstructive of Harry as he should be, but his theme of how an artist's work is more significant than his life is superbly realized. "Deconstructing Harry" is not as consistently hilarious as his earlier films, and maybe it isn't meant to be. It is, however, as daring, courageous, darkly comic and outrageous a self-portrait as I've seen in a long time.

Vaani Kapoor gives the word ‘effortless’ a new meaning with this new pic
by TIMESOFINDIA.COMApart from her films, what keeps actress Vaani Kapoor in the limelight is her stunning pictures and workout videos on social media. She is quite active on Instagram and enjoys a huge fanbase too. Not only her pictures are striking but also the captions are amazing.
Recently, the actress shared a picture wherein she is trying to pose effortlessly. Vaani shared the picture and wrote, "Me trying hard to make this look a look that looks oh so effortless! 🐡"
Meanwhile, she was last seen in Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff starrer. The film made waves at the box-office. The actress recently opened up about her choice in films. She said that wants to explore more genres. "I would love to try various genres including romance, comedy, and action. However, it is the drama that I love doing," she told ANI.
On the work front, she is yet to announce her next project.


--- title: "small-stalk" kind: article created_at: 2022-11-08 10:26:00 UTC author: Sandilya Jandhyala layout: post ---
When someone told me about beanstalkd, the seed of an idea was planted in my mind. I had some free time on my hands and decided that I wanted to implement it in Clojure to learn a thing or two. The simplicity of the beanstalkd protocol appealed to me, and it seemed like something I could implement. In addition to this, a preview build of Project Loom was made available, and I wanted an opportunity to try out virtual threads. Over two months, this germ of an idea sprouted into the 2400 line sapling it is today. I referred only to the beanstalkd protocol, and didn’t read any of the beanstalkd code. Here’s how it works:
A job is a description of some task to be done. In beanstalkd, jobs are binary blobs. For simplicity, jobs are strings in small-stalk.
Here's how jobs are processed in a system using small-stalk:
There can be two types of clients of small-stalk: producers and workers. Producers submit jobs to be executed, and workers consume and execute these jobs. Note that small-stalk itself makes no distinction between clients, and any client can run any command.
small-stalk implements a subset of beanstalkd’s commands:
small-stalk’s acceptor thread listens on a port for incoming connections. When a connection is made, a connection thread is spawned to process commands sent by that client. The cheapness of virtual threads makes it possible to spawn a thread per connection, even if there are thousands of clients. Each connection thread reads commands, parses them and hands them off to the Queue Service for execution. The Queue Service uses the Persistence Service to persist the queue state to disk. The compactor thread regularly tells the Persistence Service to clean up data files on disk to save space.
Virtual threads are the JVM’s answer to goroutines and Erlang processes. They can be created much more cheaply than conventional OS threads, making it possible to create a thread per connection even if there are thousands and thousands of clients. Virtual threads are not available in a stable JDK yet, and I used a preview build of the JDK in order to try them out in small-stalk.
When a client connects to small-stalk, it is assigned an ID and its socket is stored in a registry. Identifying clients is necessary for some commands like reserve and delete, since if a job is reserved, only the client that reserved a job is allowed to delete it.
A virtual thread is spawned for every incoming connection. These connection threads take care of reading and writing data from and to the connection socket. The connection threads parse commands from text and hand them over to the queue service for execution. small-stalk does not support pipelining, which means that clients are expected to read the response of the previous command before sending a new command. Connection threads block until the Queue Service is done executing a command, because the Queue Service exposes a synchronous API.
The Queue Service is a combination of:
I knew that I wanted to use some kind of append-only log for persistence, since I thought this would be easier to implement than complex data structures on disk. This led me to the idea of serializing all data changes in a queue.
A mutation is a data representation of a change that must be made to the queue data structure. All mutating commands (i.e. commands that are not simple reads like peek) map to a mutation. There are also other mutations (such as ::time-to-run-expired) that are triggered by timers rather than by a connection thread.
All mutating commands made by connection threads are converted into mutations and enqueued into the mutation queue, to be later executed by a single mutation thread. This means that all state changes are serialised. While this may seem like an unnecessary performance bottleneck, it affords several benefits:
Since the Queue Service needs to expose a synchronous API, mutations are enqueued along with promises to which the mutation thread can deliver return values. reserve, in particular, needs to block until a ready job is available. To facilitate this, if a reserve mutation is processed and no job is available, the reserve mutation along with its return promise is enqueued into a separate queue for waiting reserves. When a new job is added, the mutation thread checks the waiting reserves queue and fulfils a waiting reserve, if any.
The reserve-with-timeout command offers a timeout on the reserve blocking. To implement this, a separate timer thread to cancel the reserve is launched. This thread does not mutate the state directly, but instead enqueues a special mutation indicating that the client’s timeout has expired. All state modification, including cleaning up and cancelling the reserve, is done by the mutation thread.
The time-to-reserve timeout works in a similar way. When enqueueing a job, the client can specify how long a worker should be allowed to keep a job reserved. After this timeout expires, small-stalk will automatically release the job. Again, a separate timer thread is launched when a client reserves a job. This thread enqueues a time-to-reserve-expired mutation, which is then handled by the mutation thread.
The Persistence Service is a collection of functions and data used to persist mutations processed by the Queue Service. Mutations are persisted before they are processed. The file format is a simple newline-separated list of EDN maps. Each map is a mutation. Mutations are appended to the file, one after another. This file is called an AOF (append-only file).
To prevent disk usage from getting out of hand, every so often, mutations in the AOF file are processed and replaced with a snapshot of the Queue Service’s state. This is done by the compactor thread. To facilitate this process (called checkpointing), mutations are actually split over multiple AOF files. One file can hold at most a configurable number of mutations. Once this limit is reached, a new file is created and new mutations are appended there. The compactor thread reads mutations from all but the newest file (to which mutations are currently being written), replays the mutations to build a state snapshot, then persists that snapshot to disk. Once this is done, the older AOF files are deleted.
To facilitate testing, the Persistence Service is stubbed out with a service that simply writes mutations to a string instead of the disk, and the compactor thread is not started.
In order to work with Clojure’s reference types, the queue data structure is immutable, implemented using a combination of Clojure’s immutable data structures.
Clojure offers an obscure but useful PersistentQueue data structure. However, this doesn’t support priorities. small-stalk’s Persistent Priority Queue is implemented as a map of priority numbers to PersistentQueues. Popping an element from the queue involves finding the smallest key, and popping an item from the corresponding PersistentQueue. Unless the number of different priorities grows to be very large (which is unlikely for most use cases), this is a fairly simple and efficient implementation. The map could be replaced by a sorted-map to make this even more efficient.
Separating the networking layer from the queueing system allowed me to easily unit test the Queue Service without having to send CRLF-terminated strings over a socket. Using a dependency injection framework like integrant also allowed me to construct and stub out stateful components as necessary in tests. Although I didn’t take the time to write end-to-end integration tests, those would be very helpful as well.
small-stalk is not without issues, which I haven’t had time to address yet.

We are a cooperative, one of the few seed companies so organized
in the United States. Because we do not have an individual owner or beneficiary,
profit is not our primary goal. Consumers own 60% of the cooperative and worker
members 40%. Consumer and worker members share proportionately in the cooperative’s
profits through our annual patronage dividends.


The Module for the Task(main).
Drawback:
- In each task, the check for validity will run at every tick to improve the effectiveness of task, which can be viewed as the waste of CPU, since there are rare cases of invalidness resulted from "war" in shard3.
- Delay Behavior. Since I use many lazy check, and exclude the signal "ERR_REPEAT" to make the code more clean, you will observe that some creeps may stay there, doing nothing, until next tick.
Caution:
- before switching the task, the working state should be reset to false.
- Here are some memory states which enjoy highest priority, meaning should be dealt before running the task.
- storing
- Call the Store() method to clean up creep's carrying.
- renew
- Call the Renew() method to renew the creep.
- recycle
- Call the Recycle() method to recycle the creep.
