Abstract:
SQL Server 2016: Data quality and data cleansing have always been major challenges to any enterprise that deals with data. For those of us who have dealt with Data Profiler Tasks in SQL Server 2008, we were shocked yet pleasantly surprised with the great advances that Microsoft has made with the advent of Data Quality Services, in the SQL Server 2012 release. In this hands-on presentation we shall be looking at how to set up a new knowledge base, based upon an existing one, set up rules, do knowledge discovery within the new knowledge base and finally cleanse the data through a data quality project. The end results being more effective data, guaranteed to keep end users and management happy.
Speaker(s): Steve Simon,
Abstract:
A look at Window functions, and how their performance has improved over the SQL versions. Also ideas/samples of potential use cases.
Speaker(s): Desmond Norton,
Abstract:
The Azure Machine Learning workspace is an easy to use, visual way of doing machine learning, however, it is also very powerful and a great tool to use to start with Machine Learning. Initially it can be a bit overwhelming to figure out how exactly to go about using it to get some results. We will give a basic introduction to machine learning, the Azure Machine Learning workspace, a demo on how to get your first model running in a few minutes as well as some of the functionality offered in this great and quickly evolving tool.
Speaker(s): Chris Olivier,
Abstract:
R has become one of the leading analysis tools for developers and data scientists alike. However, in order for R to do its magic it needs data so historically we have imported data from various sources, SQL Server being one of those sources. In SQL Server 2016, Microsoft has embedded R in the SQL engine. Yes, we do now have access to R natively in SQL Server.
Speaker(s): Niels Berglund,
Abstract:
Master Data Services can be readily be employed for Rapid Application Development. We shall be looking at important development, data security and data maintenance aspects, all based upon a recent client implementation.
Speaker(s): Steve Simon,
Abstract:
Everyone has experienced a live costly issue on a production database. This is made worse is when the live costly issue can be blamed on a non-Database Developer overlooking something “Obvious”. Normally this type of problem is followed by someone blaming a process or shouting about peer reviews or arguing about training… What if there was a better way? Is it possible to create a short list of guidelines for non-Database developers to follow that remove almost all of the pain points? Let’s find out!
Speaker(s): Rory Bolle,
Abstract:
There is a saying "no man is an island", and that holds true for SQL Server as well. In your organization you have data stored all over the place, and your data may not always be relational. In this talk we will see how you can handle both relational as well a non relational data in SQL Server 2016. Among the things we will talk about are JSON support, Hadoop and Polybase.
Speaker(s): Niels Berglund,
Abstract:
These days when you say "database server" it could really mean many things. For something like SQL server there are so many options: on-premise server, off-premise server. On-premise server with off-premise data. Then there are the various Azure offerings with fancy names like Azure SQL, Data Lake, Hadoop. You also get graph databases and document databases. This session will cover some of the more popular types of data stores that are available today and we will look at their use cases. While SQL server is great for many things, one has to be aware of the other options that are available out there.
Speaker(s): Clinton van Blommestein,
Abstract:
Building a data warehouse can be complicated. There are two competing philosophies and a myriad of other best practice documents out there on building high performance data warehouses and you probably don’t have time to read any of them. In this session we will discuss a key approaches that you can use to design simple, easy to use data warehouses.
Speaker(s): Michael Johnson,
Abstract:
Far too few database developers in this day and age get the opportunity to learn how to design relation databases. In most cases, they will on occasion be asked to add a few objects to an existing system while following the standards of the organisation. These relatively infrequent changes do not hone the skills needed for effective design. This session will go through the fundamentals of database design. Topics such as normalization, Understanding Data Relationships as well as the Language of Data Modeling and Design will be discussed. The Database Design Sequence Phases of Conceptual, Logical and Physical will be introduced as well.
Speaker(s): Sean Cremer,
Abstract:
It’s been a while since Nathan Marz wrote the first Lambda Architecture post and a lot has happened since. The principals described in this approach have been applied and refined, especially within the Hadoop ecosystem. However in this talk we will look at using some of the Microsoft Azure based technologies, specifically Azure Stream Analytics and Azure Data Warehouse to implement this approach to data management and realize some of this benefits of this architecture.
Speaker(s): Gary Hope,
Abstract:
One of the hardest things to do in SQL is to identify the cause of a sudden degradation in performance. The DMVs don’t persist information over a restart of the instance and, unless there was already some query benchmarking (and there almost never is), answering the question of how the queries behaved last week needs a time machine. Up until now, that is. The addition of the QueryStore to SQL Server 2016 makes identifying and resolving performance regressions a breeze. In this session we’ll take a look at what the QueryStore is and how it works, before diving into a scenario where overall performance suddenly degraded, and we’ll see why QueryStore is the best new feature in SQL Server 2016, bar none.
Speaker(s): Gail Shaw,
Abstract:
If there’s one thing that we, as SQL developers, do, it’s not use enough transactions. Transactions are critical when multiple changes need to be made entirely or not at all, but even given that it’s rare to see transactions used at all in most production code In this session, we’ll look at what transactions are and why we should use them. We’ll explore the effects transactions have on locking and the transaction log.
Speaker(s): Gail Shaw,
Abstract:
Anybody can quickly build a SSIS package to collect some data…. But it takes a lot of experience and patience to fully understand how to build a full scale solution. SSIS has loads of little settings and “hidden” features that can be tweaked, modified and changed to turn an standard package into a proper solution. This presentation is just a highlight of some of the Tips, Tricks and Design Patterns that can be used to make your SSIS experience a joyful one.
Speaker(s): Marius Erasmus,
Abstract:
Getting an overview of SQL availability solutions, taking a look at some pros and cons with focus on SQL AlwaysOn High Availability and some administration constrains and how to overcome them.

I used to work on financial models and had a natural progression to using Data Warehouses for analysis, and progressed into doing Data Warehouse / BI Development. I later led a BI team in an administration company but missed the technical side which brought me to Derivco which was a great decision as I have been extending my knowledge ever since. I mainly deal with Business Intelligence, where my travels have taught me skills in SQL Server, Data Warehouses, Integration Services, Reporting Services, etc. I also dabble a lot in Data Science and trying to use Machine learning to solve real world problems.

Been working in IT for the last MANY years. Started at Derivco in 2005 as DBA, and eventually moved over to BI. Spend a lot of my time on SSIS designing packages for Data Warehouse collections.
I’ve started my DBA career in 2006 as an Informix DBA also working with SQL Server 2000. A few years later because of demand at that stage, my focus turned to SQL specifically. I’ve been privileged enough to work not just be a DBA but also as SQL developer and report writer. For the last three years this focus is now more focused on database administration.

My Research
Welcome to my academic website. Here you can find information about my research, publications, and other news (such as museum expiditions). I will also be focused on I’m currently a doctoral student in the Miller Lab in the Department of Ornithology at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History and the Department of Biology at the the University of Oklahoma (OU). Prior to OU, I earned a Masters degree in Jeff Peters Lab at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. My thesis was doing population genomics in the Australian Teals (in the genus Anas). Prior to my Masters Degree, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Zoology and Latin American Studies. I also worked did population genetics in Carica papaya in the Moore Lab.
Primary research interests:
- Genomics: ddRADseq bioinformatics and phylogenetics
- Ecology: Interspecific reproductive interference in hyperdiverse lineages
- Evolution: Comparative approaches to measuring genomic introgression
- Botany: Pollen-pistil relationships and floral evolution in Pedicularis
Topics
Bioinformatics – I created and still actively develop the program pyrad, which is used to assemble genomic RADseq data sets. I love learning about Python programming and linux, and I’m a huge advocate for open-source code and data sharing. You can follow active development of my projects on github.
Reproductive Interference – My research is broadly focused on understanding why some clades of organisms contain more species than others, and within this context I’m especially interested in the long-recognized relationship among flowering plants where families with more specialized pollination mechanisms tend to contain more species. To understand this pattern I study how flower evolution affects rates of speciation, and reciprocally, how interactions among co-occurring species, especially within highly diverse clades, affect flower evolution.
Pedicularis – Much of my research is focused on the hyperdiverse genus Pedicularis in its center of diversity in the Hengduan Mountains of China (the eastern side of the Tibetan plateau), where nearly 300 species are endemic. Pedicularis in this region frequently overlap in their geographic ranges, flower synchronously during the short alpine summer, and share bumblebee pollinators. This combination of factors raises the potential for pollen transfer between different species, which can have negative fitness consequences (termed reproductive interference), and consequently impose strong selection on floral phenotypes. I combine genomic RADseq approaches above and below the species-level with field-based experiments and ecological studies to better understand the evolutionary consequences of these interactions.
- collaborators: Richard Ree, Shuang-Quan Huang, Yu Wen-bin
Oaks – Coyne and Orr described oaks as “a worst case scenario of the biological species” due to their often blurred species boundaries resulting from hybridization. Whether as a consequence of hybridization, insufficiently variable markers, or sorting of ancestral polymorphisms in large populations of long lived trees, previous phylogenetic studies have shown great difficulty in resolving oak relationships at both shallow and deep evolutionary timescales. Applying genomic RADseq data we have resolved a backbone phylogeny of the American clade oaks (Hipp et al. 2014) and shown evidence of frequent hybridization among the live oaks which affects phylogenetic inference (Eaton et al. 2015), and which has likely persisted over millions of years (Cavender-Bares et al. 2015).
- collaborators: Jeannine Cavender-Bares, Andrew Hipp
Viburnum – A model system for phylogenetic comparative methods in plants, and in particular historical biogeography and leaf trait evolution. We are using RADseq methods to infer deep-scale phylogenies, infer introgression between lineages, resolve polyploid lineages, and study replicate radiations of leaf forms among Viburnum in central and south America.

Hydra probably better?
Description
Authforce is an HTTP authentication brute forcer. Using various methods, it attempts brute force username and password pairs for a site. It has the ability to try common username and passwords, username derivations, and common username/password pairs. It is used to both test the security of your site and to prove the insecurity of HTTP authentication based on the fact that users just don’t pick good passwords.
History
I made this because I was curious how bad people were at choosing decent passwords. It can also be used to test the security of your site.
Usage
See the README. You run it, it searches and displays matches.

Inputs¶
VE-RSPM inputs can be grouped into two categories, reflecting the timeline when the data is required:
Local land use inputs – These include data based on the geography and the base and future year demographics and community design data used to establish the basic households, their location and attributes, otherwise known as the socio-economic data (SED). This data is needed early in the process to set-up the model framework.
Other assumptions and transportation inputs for the base and future year reflecting existing conditions and adopted local plans respectively. These inputs require a mix of data and decisions by the metropolitan area.
Some inputs must be provided and customized for the local area. In other cases, inputs are noted as “default”, indicating that default values are available from ODOT’s work with the OSTI, although local adjustment in special cases is an option.
In introducing each group of inputs, a table is provided listing the specific VE-RSPM filenames with a short description of their contents, as well as the “geography” or spatial level of detail. Also listed is whether or not ODOT default data is available for input as well as data sources for those inputs that MPOs will need to develop.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the (Static) Web
I’m an early fan of the Baked, Not Fried
concept behind static web generators. But somehow, getting all the tools in place
to run one myself seemed onerous. A simple apt-get install mysql
was always
easier than the vaguely-mystical incantations required to get jekyll up and running.
Then again, there was my deep-seated prejudice against Ruby. (See my previous trolling of the ruby community when I accused them of being singlehandedly responsible for Global Warming.)
But with the emergence of Hugo, an elegant static site generator written in #Golang, I’ve been able to get over the line. Or maybe it was simply time that I had a blog again.

This sweet dessert is quick and easy but sure to impress. Ricotta is a delicious alternative to whipped cream.
Pare the zest from two oranges and cut into very fine shreds (or use a zester). Set aside.
Peel all the oranges by cutting the skin and white pith away, to reveal the naked orange flesh.
Using a small, very sharp knife, cut the first segment out of the orange, sliding the knife down between its fine papery skin and its flesh on either side, then easing it out. Carry on working your way around the orange, cutting out the segments.
Put the segments and any juice from the oranges into a shallow serving bowl. Repeat the process with the remaining oranges until all are segmented.
Heat a small pan of water until boiling. When boiling, drop the orange zest into the water, simmer for two minutes then drain well through a sieve into a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a wide, heavy-based pan (preferably one with a pale-coloured bottom) over a moderate heat. Add the sugar and leave for a few minutes, keeping a careful eye over it, until the sugar begins to melt. Don't stir. Restrain yourself and do no more than tip and tilt the pan to get the sugar to melt evenly.
Once the sugar is liquid, let it bubble gently, then more strongly, until it begins to brown (this may take as little as 2-3 minutes), still tilting and swirling the pan occasionally.
Once the sugar has caramelised to a hazelnut brown, pour the measured hot water into the pan. Do this at arm's length, wearing an oven glove. Be very careful, as the caramel will spit and hiss when you first add the water.
Swirl and stir the caramel syrup and turn the heat to low. Drop in the blanched shreds of orange zest and leave to simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the zest is translucent. You may need to add a bit more water if the caramel thickens too much.
Pour the hot syrup and shreds over the orange segments and leave to cool.
Meanwhile, make the honeyed ricotta. In a clean bowl, beat the ricotta with the honey, then taste. If you'd like it sweeter add either a little icing sugar, if the honey has a strong flavour, or a little more honey if it's mild. Fold two-thirds of the almonds into the mixture and scatter the rest on top.
Serve the caramelised oranges with the honeyed ricotta on the side.


To the CSI Community,
I am writing to inform everyone we held an important chapter meeting as members all joined different working groups to address numerous campu-wide issues, and to begin the process of initiating various actions, events and campus activities that range from student engagement, developing social media, creating town halls and summer and fall actions open to all our members and the Staten Island community. The CSI chapter is not sitting idly by as we come together to prioritize the safety, health and jobs of all our members! Stay tuned as we will be sending out updates and information for all our members to become involved, or to participate, in actions and events that will all proclaim: SAVE JOBS SAVE LIVES SAVE C U N Y!!!!!!!!!!
The PSC will be sending out information for a major action that will take place on Saturday, July 18 from 11 am to 1 pm. This will be a car caravan that will take place in four boros, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx! we'll be looking for members with cars, bicyclists, or caravan route supporters who can cheer us on as we travel the route. Please keep an eye out with more detailed information.
Regardless of the dedicated and non-stop work of the PSC, too many adjuncts were given letters of non-reappointment yesterday. The union has been fighting with CUNY Central to avoid and prevent such decisions. The PSC is committed to doing all we can to rectify these decisions and to continue to advocate for all our members as we face a dire, and uncertain, future. As a reminder, CUNY Central signed an agreement with the PSC on May 28th promising openness and access to the college budgets, including information on the CARES Act funds, but they failed to keep their word. This is why the chapter will be engaging in summer actions throughout the summer as we must stand up against the austerity of the CUNY imagination!
If any adjunct received a letter of non-reappointment, please see the link below from the PSc web site. We are asking all non-reappointed adjuncts to fill out this form. It is VERY important for future litigation purposes. https://psc-cuny.org/issues/form/adjunct-notifications-reappointment/
Once you fill this out, also be sure to apply for unemployment! If you have any questions, contact me at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Lastly, tomorrow there will be an action taking place at our sister campus, Brooklyn College. Please see the information below. If anyone can support this action, in person or on Zoom, we urge you to do so!
To fight back, the Brooklyn College PSC Chapter and a BC Black Faculty organization have organized an action on Thursday, 7/2 demanding the BC President meet with faculty and staff. If she doesn't, they will march to her house, 30 minutes from the campus, to deliver their message.
If you know people who live in Brooklyn and can encourage them to attend, please
Flyers are attached. More details and registration is at: https://psc-cuny.org/BklynJuly2RSVP
People can also participate virtually via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZErdOyhrT4pEtSqvDRuE_BRw1qFUsJ2yt9V
I'll be reaching out again very soon! Take extra good care!

Question 1:
a, d, e and f are all valid binary search trees. b is not since
10 is 4's left child and is greater than 4, and c is not for the same
reason.
Question 2:
a is an AVL tree because it is completely balanced.
e is also an AVL tree. b and c are not because they are not binary
search trees. d and f are both imbalanced around the root node.
Question 3:
c is the only heap. It is a complete tree
where each node is less than its children. B looks like a heap
since each node is less than its children, but it is not a complete
tree (or even complete down to the last level). F also looks like
a heap where each node is greater than its children, but it too is
not a complete tree down to the last level.
Question 4:
You will insert 64 as the right child of 59, and then splay it to
the top. This will require three rotations.
Question 5:
First, you insert 64 in the right place, which is as the right child
of node 59:
Then you perform a zig-zag (double rotation) on node 64:
Now, node 64 is one level from the top. Do a single rotation to make
it the root. This is the answer:
Question 6
First, you insert 99 as the right child of 92.
Now, this creates
an imbalance at node 44 due to a zig-zig. Therefore, you perform
a single rotation about node 76 to yield the answer:
Question 7
First, you insert 64 as the right child of 59.
Now, this creates
an imbalance at node 44 due to a zig-zag. Therefore, you perform
a double rotation about node 59 to yield the answer:
Question 8:
- (a) prints out exactly n*n lines.
- (b) prints out exactly n/5 lines.
- (c) prints out exactly log(n) lines.
- (d) prints out exactly log(n)*(4n+2) lines.
- (e) prints out exactly 4n*n lines.
- (f) prints out exactly n*n lines.
Therefore, only (c) is O(log(n)).
Question 9:
Both b and c are O(n). Remember, if a function
is O(f(n)) and g(n) > f(n), then the function is also O(g(n)).
Question 10:
b, c, and d are all O(n*log(n)).
Question 11:
All the functions are O(n*n).
Question 12:
Only b is Theta(n).
Question 13:
a, e and f are Omega(n*n).
Question 14:
There are four steps to writing this code:
- Allocating storage for a new node.
- Initializing the new node.
- Finding where the node goes.
- Inserting it in the right place.
Here's the code:
void insert_node(Bstree *tree, char *key, Jval v)
{
BstreeNode *newnode, *tmp;
/* Allocating storage for a new node. */
newnode = (BstreeNode *) malloc(sizeof(BstreeNode));
/* Initializing the new node */
newnode->key = key; /* you don't have to strdup, but I didn't take off
for it */
newnode->val = v; /* Not new_jval_v(v). V is already a jval */
newnode->left = NULL;
newnode->right = NULL;
/* If the tree is empty, make this node the root */
if (tree->root == NULL) {
tree->root = newnode;
return;
}
/* Otherwise, find where it should go and insert it */
tmp = tree->root;
while(1) {
if (strcmp(tmp->key, key) > 0) {
if (tmp->left == NULL) {
tmp->left = newnode;
return;
}
tmp = tmp->left;
} else {
if (tmp->right == NULL) {
tmp->right = newnode;
return;
}
tmp = tmp->right;
}
}
}
Note, you can't make insert_node() recursive, because it takes a
Bstree as its argument, and not a BstreeNode. A recursive
solution is possible by writing a recursive function called by
insert_node(). The while() loop is much easier.
Question 15:
- (a) does not work since h can be increased past the
end of the hash table.
- (b) works just fine.
- (c) isn't even close -- it compares the index to the key and then
returns the table entry.
- (d) is close, except it shouldn't test if ``(hash(table[j], tsize) == h)''.
Instead, it should test if ``table[j] == key''.
Question 16:
Given these inputs, h eventually gets a
value of 10, and table[10] is unknown. Therefore, the answer
is p (undetermined). We could be dumping core, or returning some
number bigger than 10.
Question 17:
This works fine, and returns -1. The answer is q.
Question 18:
j will started out as 8. Since
``(j == key)'', it will return table[j], which is 88. The
answer is n.
Question 19:
Again, j will start out as 8.
hash(table[8], tsize) equals 8, as does h. Therefore
the procedure will return 8. The answer is i.

Many years ago, I worked for my parents who own a video production company. Because it is a family business, you inevitably end up wearing many hats and being the czar of many different jobs. I mainly managed projects and worked as a video editor.
On production, there were times that I was called on to work as an audio tech and was made to wear headphones on long production days. In those days, having a really good set of headphones that picked up every nuance of sound was essential to making sure the client got what they needed.


One month ago I went to the first meeting of a new Meetup group in Madrid: “Ada Code Group”, for women developers that want to improve their skills and spread their knowledge. In that meeting, a girl, Laura Morillo, who works with different organizations to make visible the role of women in tech, told us about a new event, “Women Techmakers Madrid 2016” and she encourages us to present a talk in the Call for Papers. I didn’t do any talk until now, but I presented one, about creating a Portfolio with Jekyll and Github Pages.
Although I wasn’t selected to do a talk, I was invited to an event to practise our skills making a speech in front of an audience. The event took place today and it was for free, although is was done for professional people and in a Sunday morning. The 2 girls that help us with our speech were from an organization called “Materia prima” and they did it very well. As they spoke, I said to myself that I want to be like them, spoking in front of people with confidence, knowledge and enjoying the time.
They told us about centralizing in a main idea that we want the people to retain. We can do a brainstorming first to get all ideas, but after that we should focus in the main idea to do our speech. We have to think about the context of the conference, when we are going to speak and the person that does the talk before us.
Another important aspect is that people use to listen more at the beginning and at the end, so we have to motivate them to listen to us from the very beginning and try to maintain their attention in the middle. At the end of our talk we can call them to action, inspire them or motivate them to learn more about the subject.
In less than 2 weeks from now the Women Techmakers Madrid will take place in Campus Madrid and there will be very interesting talks with very interesting women, that will become the model of a lot of women like me. And one of them is a 9 years old girl that I met today, very sweet but also brave!

What is VCL?
VCL is an acronym for Varnish Configuration Language. In a VCL file, you configure how Varnish should behave. Sample VCL files will be included in this Wiki at a later stage.
Where is the documentation on VCL?
Please see man 7 vcl. There are also some real-world examples on the wiki
How do I load VCL file while Varnish is running?
Should I use ''pipe'' or ''pass'' in my VCL code? What is the difference?
When varnish does a pass it acts like a normal HTTP proxy. It reads the request and pushes it onto the backend. The next HTTP request can then be handled like any other.
pipe is only used when Varnish for some reason can't handle the pass. pipe reads the request, pushes in onty the backend _only_ pushes bytes back and forth, with no other actions taken.
Since most HTTP clients do pipeline several requests into one connection this might give you an undesirable result - as every subsequent request will reuse the existing pipe. Please see this article <http://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExamplePipe> for more details and a workaround.
Varnish versions prior to 2.0 does not support handling a request body with pass mode, so in those releases pipe is required for correct handling.
In 2.0 and later, pass will handle the request body correctly.
If you get 503 errors when making a request which is pass ed, make sure that you're specifying the backend before returning from vcl_recv with pass.

OK, this did the trick. My model is working, although pretty slow, but
this should be a matter of tweaking the domain sizes and so on.
If you don't mind, I have another question: Why does the oder matter? My
interpretation of MPG p.87, "Figure 6.1: Integer expressions and
relations" is that the order is not relevant. What am I missing?

THE FRIGHTENERS isn't a bad film, but it is a disappointment. Following director Peter Jackson's powerful, true-life matricide tale, HEAVENLY CREATURES, THE FRIGHTENERS falls short of expectations by being just one of many in the long line of 1996 summer movies. It's driven by some pretty nifty special effects, but the characters are fairly lifeless, and the plot, when it makes sense, is silly and needlessly convoluted. As horror-comedies go, this one doesn't offer much that's original or daring. Jackson's past efforts, such as BRAINDEAD and MEET THE FEEBLES, have taken more chances, and THE FRIGHTENERS doesn't match the audacity of Sam Raimi's EVIL DEAD movies or even this year's CEMETERY MAN.
It's not hard to pinpoint what's wrong with THE FRIGHTENERS.  The proceedings meander along, throwing jokes, dripping ectoplasm, unnecessary characters, and pointless action sequences at the audience, until they rather suddenly come to an end. There's no big buildup to a final confrontation, nor is there any real sense of anticipation regarding the climax. The script is unpolished, and often feels more like a draft than a finished product.
THE FRIGHTENERS opens with a solid premise. Frank Bannister (Michael J. Fox) is a paranormal investigator operating in the small town of Fairweather, California. Bannister is a con artist, but his accomplices are unusual -- a trio of ghoulish spirits named Stuart (Jim Fyfe), Cyrus (Chi McBride), and the Judge (John Astin). Because, even though Bannister is a fraud, he really can see, communicate, and interact with the dead. Bannister has a simple arrangement with his associates. Stuart, Cyrus, and the Judge haunt a house, then Bannister shows up to do an exorcism -- for a fee, of course.
But, when a local doctor, Lucy Lynsky (Trini Alvarado, from LITTLE WOMEN), loses her husband, both the dead and the living of Fairweather have cause to be worried. Victims all over town are dying of sudden heart attacks, and only Bannister knows the cause. Cloaked and armed with a scythe, the Grim Reaper (a.k.a. the "Soul Catcher") has arrived, connected somehow to the spirit of an executed serial killer. When Bannister sets out to end the massacre, he finds that the living are impotent against Death. Lucy believes in him, but, when he's arrested on suspicion of murder and she is marked as the Soul Catcher's next target, there's not much she can do to save Bannister or herself.
THE FRIGHTENERS includes some enjoyable, and potentially interesting, elements, none of which are given enough exposure to do them justice. Bannister's interaction with his ghostly con partners could have made for an enjoyable film on its own; here, it's part of the setup. Then there's the idea that the protagonist might have to kill himself to do battle with the Soul Collector on its own turf. Again, the possibility is only toyed with, not fully realized. At times, it's frustrating to watch THE FRIGHTENERS, because the seeds of a good story are there, struggling to get out.
That said, the movie held my attention for its one-hundred ten minute running time. It's lighthearted and paced like a runaway train, and some of the gore-and-humor mix works. The special effects, which were done exclusively by a New Zealand company, are as impressive as anything produced by ILM. THE FRIGHTENERS isn't as eye popping as TWISTER or INDEPENDENCE DAY, but it functions as a nice piece of visual candy. Michael J. Fox does a better-than-adequate job in the lead role, and he and Trini Alvarado display a nice rapport, even if their romantic relationship remains underdeveloped.
THE FRIGHTENERS is about as mixed a bag as you can get. The muddled story is a serious drawback, as are the host of unnecessary characters and subplots.  The former, although supposedly on hand for comic relief, was a little too creepy to be funny, and the latter was critical only to an unnecessary plot twist. Essentially, neither was needed, and THE FRIGHTENERS would have been better without them.
If there's one obvious aspect of this movie that recalls HEAVENLY CREATURES, it's that Jackson once again plumbs the depths of his imagination. Next time out (possibly for his rumored re-make of KING KONG), if he can wed that creativity with a substantive, less convoluted story, he should be able to regain the form that catapulted him to international acclaim last year.

A destination defines a particular view of a document, consisting of the following items:
Destinations may be associated with outline items (Document Outline (bookmarks)), annotations (Annotations), or actions (Actions). In each case, the destination specifies the view of the document to be presented when the outline item or annotation is opened or the action is performed. In addition, the optional document open action can be specified.
The following types are supported by ZendPdf component.
Display the specified page, with the coordinates (left, top) positioned at the upper-left corner of the window and the contents of the page magnified by the factor zoom.
Destination object may be created using ZendPdf\Destination\Zoom::create($page, $left = null, $top = null, $zoom = null) method.
Where:
NULL, specified for $left, $top or $zoom parameter means “current viewer application value”.
ZendPdf\Destination\Zoom class also provides the following methods:
Display the specified page, with the coordinates (left, top) positioned at the upper-left corner of the window and the contents of the page magnified by the factor zoom. Display the specified page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit the entire page within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the page within the window in the other dimension.
Destination object may be created using ZendPdf\Destination\Fit::create($page) method.
Where $page is a destination page (a ZendPdf\Page object or a page number).
Display the specified page, with the vertical coordinate top positioned at the top edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire width of the page within the window.
Destination object may be created using ZendPdf\Destination\FitHorizontally::create($page, $top) method.
Where:
ZendPdf\Destination\FitHorizontally class also provides the following methods:
Display the specified page, with the horizontal coordinate left positioned at the left edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire height of the page within the window.
Destination object may be created using ZendPdf\Destination\FitVertically::create($page, $left) method.
Where:
ZendPdf\Destination\FitVertically class also provides the following methods:
Display the specified page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit the rectangle specified by the coordinates left, bottom, right, and top entirely within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the rectangle within the window in the other dimension.
Destination object may be created using ZendPdf\Destination\FitRectangle::create($page, $left, $bottom, $right, $top) method.
Where:
ZendPdf\Destination\FitRectangle class also provides the following methods:
Display the specified page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit its bounding box entirely within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the bounding box within the window in the other dimension.
Destination object may be created using ZendPdf\Destination\FitBoundingBox::create($page, $left, $bottom, $right, $top) method.
Where $page is a destination page (a ZendPdf\Page object or a page number).
Display the specified page, with the vertical coordinate top positioned at the top edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire width of its bounding box within the window.
Destination object may be created using ZendPdf\Destination\FitBoundingBoxHorizontally::create($page, $top) method.
Where
ZendPdf\Destination\FitBoundingBoxHorizontally class also provides the following methods:
Display the specified page, with the horizontal coordinate left positioned at the left edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire height of its bounding box within the window.
Destination object may be created using ZendPdf\Destination\FitBoundingBoxVertically::create($page, $left) method.
Where
ZendPdf\Destination\FitBoundingBoxVertically class also provides the following methods:
All destinations listed above are “Explicit Destinations”.
In addition to this, PDF document may contain a dictionary of such destinations which may be used to reference from outside the PDF (e.g. ‘http://www.mycompany.com/document.pdf#chapter3‘).
ZendPdf\Destination\Named objects allow to refer destinations from the document named destinations dictionary.
Named destination object may be created using ZendPdf\Destination\Named::create(string $name) method.
ZendPdf\Destination\Named class provides the only one additional method:
String getName();
ZendPdf\PdfDocument class provides a set of destinations processing methods.
Each destination object (including named destinations) can be resolved using the resolveDestination($destination) method. It returns corresponding ZendPdf\Page object, if destination target is found, or NULL otherwise.
ZendPdf\PdfDocument::resolveDestination() method also takes an optional boolean parameter $refreshPageCollectionHashes, which is TRUE by default. It forces ZendPdf\PdfDocument object to refresh internal page collection hashes since document pages list may be updated by user using ZendPdf\PdfDocument::$pages property (Working with Pages). It may be turned off for performance reasons, if it’s known that document pages list wasn’t changed since last method request.
Complete list of named destinations can be retrieved using ZendPdf\PdfDocument::getNamedDestinations() method. It returns an array of ZendPdf\Target objects, which are actually either an explicit destination or a GoTo action (Actions).
ZendPdf\PdfDocument::getNamedDestination(string $name) method returns specified named destination (an explicit destination or a GoTo action).
PDF document named destinations dictionary may be updated with ZendPdf\PdfDocument::setNamedDestination(string $name, $destination) method, where $destination is either an explicit destination (any destination except ZendPdf\Destination\Named) or a GoTo action.
If NULL is specified in place of $destination, then specified named destination is removed.
Note
Unresolvable named destinations are automatically removed from a document while document saving.
Destinations usage example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 | $pdf = new ZendPdf\PdfDocument();
$page1 = $pdf->newPage(ZendPdf\Page::SIZE_A4);
$page2 = $pdf->newPage(ZendPdf\Page::SIZE_A4);
$page3 = $pdf->newPage(ZendPdf\Page::SIZE_A4);
// Page created, but not included into pages list
$pdf->pages[] = $page1;
$pdf->pages[] = $page2;
$destination1 = ZendPdf\Destination\Fit::create($page2);
$destination2 = ZendPdf\Destination\Fit::create($page3);
// Returns $page2 object
$page = $pdf->resolveDestination($destination1);
// Returns null, page 3 is not included into document yet
$page = $pdf->resolveDestination($destination2);
$pdf->setNamedDestination('Page2', $destination1);
$pdf->setNamedDestination('Page3', $destination2);
// Returns $destination2
$destination = $pdf->getNamedDestination('Page3');
// Returns $destination1
$pdf->resolveDestination(ZendPdf\Destination\Named::create('Page2'));
// Returns null, page 3 is not included into document yet
$pdf->resolveDestination(ZendPdf\Destination\Named::create('Page3'));
|
Instead of simply jumping to a destination in the document, an annotation or outline item can specify an action for the viewer application to perform, such as launching an application, playing a sound, or changing an annotation’s appearance state.
The following action types are recognized while loading PDF document:
Only ZendPdf\Action\GoTo and ZendPdf\Action\URI actions can be created by user now.
GoTo action object can be created using ZendPdf\Action\GoTo::create($destination) method, where $destination is a ZendPdf\Destination object or a string which can be used to identify named destination.
ZendPdf\Action\URI::create($uri[, $isMap]) method has to be used to create a URI action (see API documentation for the details). Optional $isMap parameter is set to FALSE by default.
It also supports the following methods:
Actions objects can be chained using ZendPdf\Action::$next public property.
It’s an array of ZendPdf\Action objects, which also may have their sub-actions.
ZendPdf\Action class supports RecursiveIterator interface, so child actions may be iterated recursively:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 | $pdf = new ZendPdf\PdfDocument();
$page1 = $pdf->newPage(ZendPdf\Page::SIZE_A4);
$page2 = $pdf->newPage(ZendPdf\Page::SIZE_A4);
// Page created, but not included into pages list
$page3 = $pdf->newPage(ZendPdf\Page::SIZE_A4);
$pdf->pages[] = $page1;
$pdf->pages[] = $page2;
$action1 = ZendPdf\Action\GoTo::create(
ZendPdf\Destination\Fit::create($page2));
$action2 = ZendPdf\Action\GoTo::create(
ZendPdf\Destination\Fit::create($page3));
$action3 = ZendPdf\Action\GoTo::create(
ZendPdf\Destination\Named::create('Chapter1'));
$action4 = ZendPdf\Action\GoTo::create(
ZendPdf\Destination\Named::create('Chapter5'));
$action2->next[] = $action3;
$action2->next[] = $action4;
$action1->next[] = $action2;
$actionsCount = 1; // Note! Iteration doesn't include top level action and
// walks through children only
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
$action1,
RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
foreach ($iterator as $chainedAction) {
$actionsCount++;
}
// Prints 'Actions in a tree: 4'
printf("Actions in a tree: %d\n", $actionsCount++);
|
Special open action may be specify a destination to be displayed or an action to be performed when the document is opened.
ZendPdf\Target ZendPdf\PdfDocument::getOpenAction() method returns current document open action (or NULL if open action is not set).
setOpenAction(ZendPdf\Target $openAction = null) method sets document open action or clean it if $openAction is NULL.
A PDF document may optionally display a document outline on the screen, allowing the user to navigate interactively from one part of the document to another. The outline consists of a tree-structured hierarchy of outline items (sometimes called bookmarks), which serve as a visual table of contents to display the document’s structure to the user. The user can interactively open and close individual items by clicking them with the mouse. When an item is open, its immediate children in the hierarchy become visible on the screen; each child may in turn be open or closed, selectively revealing or hiding further parts of the hierarchy. When an item is closed, all of its descendants in the hierarchy are hidden. Clicking the text of any visible item activates the item, causing the viewer application to jump to a destination or trigger an action associated with the item.
ZendPdf\PdfDocument class provides public property $outlines which is an array of ZendPdf\Outline objects.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 $pdf = ZendPdf\PdfDocument::load($path); // Remove outline item unset($pdf->outlines[0]->childOutlines[1]); // Set Outline to be displayed in bold $pdf->outlines[0]->childOutlines[3]->setIsBold(true); // Add outline entry $pdf->outlines[0]->childOutlines[5]->childOutlines[] = ZendPdf\Outline::create('Chapter 2', 'chapter_2'); $pdf->save($path, true);
Outline attributes may be retrieved or set using the following methods:
New outline may be created in two ways:
Each outline object may have child outline items listed in ZendPdf\Outline::$childOutlines public property. It’s an array of ZendPdf\Outline objects, so outlines are organized in a tree.
ZendPdf\Outline class implements RecursiveArray interface, so child outlines may be recursively iterated using RecursiveIteratorIterator:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 | $pdf = ZendPdf\PdfDocument::load($path);
foreach ($pdf->outlines as $documentRootOutlineEntry) {
$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
$documentRootOutlineEntry,
RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST
);
foreach ($iterator as $childOutlineItem) {
$OutlineItemTarget = $childOutlineItem->getTarget();
if ($OutlineItemTarget instanceof ZendPdf\Destination) {
if ($pdf->resolveDestination($OutlineItemTarget) === null) {
// Mark Outline item with unresolvable destination
// using RED color
$childOutlineItem->setColor(new ZendPdf\Color\Rgb(1, 0, 0));
}
} else if ($OutlineItemTarget instanceof ZendPdf\Action\GoTo) {
$OutlineItemTarget->setDestination();
if ($pdf->resolveDestination($OutlineItemTarget) === null) {
// Mark Outline item with unresolvable destination
// using RED color
$childOutlineItem->setColor(new ZendPdf\Color\Rgb(1, 0, 0));
}
}
}
}
$pdf->save($path, true);
|
Note
All outline items with unresolved destinations (or destinations of GoTo actions) are updated while document saving by setting their targets to NULL. So document will not be corrupted by removing pages referenced by outlines.
An annotation associates an object such as a note, sound, or movie with a location on a page of a PDF document, or provides a way to interact with the user by means of the mouse and keyboard.
All annotations are represented by ZendPdf\Annotation abstract class.
Annotation may be attached to a page using ZendPdf\Page::attachAnnotation(ZendPdf\Annotation $annotation) method.
Three types of annotations may be created by user now:
A link annotation represents either a hypertext link to a destination elsewhere in the document or an action to be performed.
A text annotation represents a “sticky note” attached to a point in the PDF document.
A file attachment annotation contains a reference to a file.
The following methods are shared between all annotation types:
Text annotation property is a text to be displayed for the annotation or, if this type of annotation does not display text, an alternate description of the annotation’s contents in human-readable form.
Link annotation objects also provide two additional methods:

Hello. I suppose I should start with formalities before jumping to business. My name is not important along with my gender or age. Who I am is none of your business so if you're looking for information on me, best you stop now. However, for the purposes of getting this page out there and being able to take some credit for my findings, you may call me Arcanum. Now, if I've resolved most of your questions, I may be able to continue with the purposes of this blog.
We have long concluded that there is little we don't know about our own planet, only admitting to knowing minimally of our oceans. However, when it comes to land and the creatures that we live beside day by day, we believe there is nothing more to learn. That, however, is far from the truth.  On the contrary, I mean every word I say.  Honestly, I imagine they're quite happy without us and that's the reason I will not be giving away the coordinates of this place. Just know that I couldn't simply sit around and not speak of these magnificent animals, therefore I had to write these findings somewhere.
Before you begin clicking around on the tabs that are located at the top of the screen I would like to make a general statement of all of these creatures.  Traits like being only able to move around on one tail or having mouths on what one could only assume was supposed to be arms. Eyes range from none to five, sizes that are larger than some trees and smaller than some insects. Prepare yourself for what I have in store for you today because it may very well change how you look at your world for the rest of your life.

Acceptance Criteria
We understand that objects can be many colors, some of which we may have
never seen before. All responses will be reviewed manually, and we will do
our due diligence to make sure we don't reject your work just because we
weren't aware of your insightful inputs. We expect that you will be honest
in your answers, and while there are no right answers, there are certainly
wrong answers.
As an example, "Grass" is green. If you were assigned this object, we'd
expect green to be the highest-ranking color in your annotation. While grass
can be brown or yellow, these are far less common and your annotation should
reflect that. However, grass is very rarely blue, red, pink, purple, etc. As
such, if your response has those colors, we might reject your assignment.
An example annotation for grass would have green as 5/5, yellow 1/5, and
brown 1/5. Use the entire range of the sliders to express subtle
differences. Sure, certain objects can be any color, but not likely all at
the same frequency. This is the type of subtlety we're looking for.
There are random control objects in every HIT. Each HIT has
at least one "control object". These are objects that have known color
distributions, and if your answer disagrees with them significantly, we
might reject your assignment.
As a general guideline,
most of the objects have a small subset of the possible colors. Very few objects should have all colors included.
Select as few colors as possible. They should cover a large
majority of occurrences (e.g. 90%). Rare or extraordinary instances
correspond to 0 on this scale.
Note that for some objects, such as "paintings", selecting all colors or a
wide distribution of colors would be appropiate.
Here are some acceptable and unacceptable situations. Remember, you are free
to skip an object at any time if you don't know it, but making something up
or guessing just to label the object will result in a rejected HIT.
Acceptable
thumb_up
{{ item.short }}
Unacceptable
thumb_down
{{ item.short }}
This is not meant to be a difficult task.
The time limit is 1 hour, but you'll likely be able to breeze through in
about 3-5 minutes.

The ConnectionManager manages 2 caches of the currently allocated ManagedConnection objects, keyed by the ExecutionContext they are for;
an ExecutionContext can only have 1 ManagedConnection per ConnectionFactory.
ConnectionFactory
This is responsible for generating the actual connections to the datastore.
Each datastore plugin has to implement this for their own datastore.
There is a provided AbstractConnectionFactory that must be extended to provide this implementation.
ManagedConnection
This represents the actual connection to the datastore, wrapping the real connection.
Each datastore plugin has to implement this for their own datastore.
There is a provided AbstractManagedConnection that must be extended to provide this implementation.


Planned releases appear in the middle of the last month of every quarter (middle of March, June, September and December).
It might occur that we publish a release out of schedule on request of one of our exploiters as well.
A release is a code level that has been intensively tested and is supported. Releases are the
only origins for maintenance branches.
The sources can be found at "sblim.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/sblim/jsr48-client". Refer to SourceForge regarding CVS access rules and permissions.
All patches are committed to the "Experimental" branch first. The code in this branch is the most
active, but it hasn't undergone a community review and is therefore unapproved.
Once a patch has been approved in the community review it will be merged into the "HEAD" branch. When
a new release is published it represents the content of the "HEAD" branch at the release date. Of course,
all releases have a corresponding version tag in CVS.
The workspace default encoding should be set to "UTF-8" on all platforms. For *.properties-files we keep the Eclipse default of "ISO-8859-1".
Each source file contains a file header stating copyright, authorship and change history. For Java sources the header looks like this:
/** * (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 2006, 2010 * * THIS FILE IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE ECLIPSE PUBLIC LICENSE * ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THIS FILE * CONSTITUTES RECIPIENTS ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGREEMENT. * * You can obtain a current copy of the Eclipse Public License from * http://www.opensource.org/licenses/eclipse-1.0.php * * @author : Alexander Wolf-Reber, IBM<EMAIL_ADDRESS>* * Change History * Flag Date Prog Description * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 1565892 2006-09-27 lupusalex Make SBLIM client JSR48 compliant */
In .xml & .html files the header looks like this:
<!-- * (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 2006, 2010 * * THIS FILE IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE ECLIPSE PUBLIC LICENSE * ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THIS FILE * CONSTITUTES RECIPIENTS ACCEPTANCE OF THE AGREEMENT. * * You can obtain a current copy of the Eclipse Public License from * http://www.opensource.org/licenses/eclipse-1.0.php * * @author : Alexander Wolf-Reber, IBM<EMAIL_ADDRESS>* * Change History * Flag Date Prog Description * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * 1565892 2006-09-27 lupusalex Make SBLIM client JSR48 compliant -->
Insert your name and IBM email after the "@author" tag and replace "Date" and "Prog" with todays date and your CVS account name. We use bug 1565892 for the initial development of the JSR48 client.
The code is formatted using the Eclipse code formatter. Use the formatter settings stored in the "EclipseJavaCodeFormatter.xml". All code should be formatted before committing to CVS.
We use the following naming conventions in our code (not all sources have been migrated to these conventions yet):
| entity | naming | sample |
|---|---|---|
| class, interface | mixed-case, first letter uppercase | class HttpClient |
| method | mixed-case, first letter lowercase | HttpClient getClient() |
| parameter | mixed-case, prefix 'p' | void setClient(HttpClient pClient) |
| local variable | mixed-case, first letter lowercase | int loopCounter |
| field | mixed-case, prefix 'i' | String iName |
| static field | mixed-case, prefix 'c' | static String cName |
| static final field | uppercase | static final String NAME = "SBLIM" |
Access to members is not qualified with "this." the prefixing usually does a good job avoiding hidden members.
Javadoc is mandatory for all public APIs of a class. This includes the class comment, methods comments and public member comments. It's mandatory as well for packages. See existing "package.html" files as example for package level javadoc.
We aim at warning-free code. The project settings in CVS include a high warning level, do not mangle with them. All warnings have to be resolved, including unused imports or missing javadoc before any code is committed. There are a few warnings that can be ignored for good reason, e.g. a precautionary throws declaration where the declared exception is not actually thrown by the current implementation. But the cases are rare.
All code is REQUIRED to compile on IBM/SUN Java 1.5.x/1.6.x/1.7.x. Therefore Java 1.6 and 1.7 constructs are not allowed.
Use of default or protected visibility is discouraged. Fields should be private, provide getters and setters for public or subclass access. External and internal classes/interfaces should be clearly separated by using "*.internal" packages.
The public content of the javax.* classes is defined by JSR48. It is prohibited by license terms to add, change or omit any visible (public or protected) entities (classes, interfaces, fields, methods, parameters).
