6 IDL to C mapping
6.1 Introduction
The IC C mapping (used by the C client and C server back-ends) follows the OMG C Language Mapping Specification.
The C mapping supports the following:
-
All OMG IDL basic types except long double and any.
-
All OMG IDL constructed types.
-
OMG IDL constants.
-
Operations with passing of parameters and receiving of results. inout parameters are not supported.
The following is not supported:
-
Access to attributes.
-
User defined exceptions.
-
User defined objects.
6.2 C Mapping Characteristics
Reserved Names
The IDL compiler reserves all identifiers starting with OE_ and oe_ for internal use.
Scoped Names
The C programmer must always use the global name for a type, constant or operation. The C global name corresponding to an OMG IDL global name is derived by converting occurrences of "::" to underscore, and eliminating the leading "::". So, for example, an operation op1 defined in interface I1 which is defined in module M1 would be written as M1::I1::op1 in IDL and as M1_I1_op1 in C.
If underscores are used in IDL names it can lead to ambiguities due to the name mapping described above, therefore it is advisable to avoid underscores in identifiers.
Generated Files
Two files will be generated for each scope. One set of files will be generated for each module and each interface scope. An extra set is generated for those definitions at top level scope. One of the files is a header file(.h), and the other file is a C source code file (.c). In addition to these files a number of C source files will be generated for type encodings, they are named according to the following template: oe_code_<type>.c.
For example:
// IDL, in the file "spec.idl" module m1 { typedef sequence<long> lseq; interface i1 { ... }; ... };
XXX This is C client specific. Will produce the files oe_spec.h and oe_spec.c for the top scope level. Then the files m1.h and m1.c for the module m1 and files m1_i1.h and m1_i1.c for the interface i1. The typedef will produce oe_code_m1_lseq.c.
The header file contains type definitions for all struct types and sequences and constants in the IDL file. The c file contains all operation stubs if the the scope is an interface.
In addition to the scope-related files a C source file will be generated for encoding operations of all struct and sequence types.
6.3 Basic OMG IDL Types
The mapping of basic types is as follows.
| OMG IDL type | C type | Mapped to C type |
| float | CORBA_float | float |
| double | CORBA_double | double |
| short | CORBA_short | short |
| unsigned short | CORBA_unsigned_short | unsigned short |
| long | CORBA_long | long |
| long long | CORBA_long_long | long |
| unsigned long | CORBA_unsigned_long | unsigned long |
| unsigned long long | CORBA_unsigned_long_long | unsigned long |
| char | CORBA_char | char |
| wchar | CORBA_wchar | unsigned long |
| boolean | CORBA_boolean | unsigned char |
| octet | CORBA_octet | char |
| any | Not supported | |
| long double | Not supported | |
| Object | Not supported | |
| void | void | void |
XXX Note that several mappings are not according to OMG C Language mapping.
6.4 Constructed OMG IDL Types
Constructed types have mappings as shown in the following table.
| OMG IDL type | Mapped to C type |
| string | CORBA_char* |
| wstring | CORBA_wchar* |
| struct | struct |
| union | union |
| enum | enum |
| sequence | struct (see below) |
| array | array |
An OMG IDL sequence (an array of variable length),
// IDL typedef sequence <IDL_TYPE> NAME;
is mapped to a C struct as follows:
/* C */ typedef struct { CORBA_unsigned_long _maximum; CORBA_unsigned_long _length; C_TYPE* _buffer; } C_NAME;
where C_TYPE is the mapping of IDL_TYPE, and where C_NAME is the scoped name of NAME.
6.5 OMG IDL Constants
An IDL constant is mapped to a C constant through a C #define macro, where the name of the macro is scoped. Example:
// IDL module M1 { const long c1 = 99; };
results in the following:
/* C */ #define M1_c1 99
6.6 OMG IDL Operations
An OMG IDL operation is mapped to C function. Each C operation function has two mandatory parameters: a first parameter of interface object type, and a last parameter of environment type.
In a C operation function the the in and out parameters are located between the first and last parameters described above, and they appear in the same order as in the IDL operation declaration.
Notice that inout parameters are not supported.
The return value of an OMG IDL operation is mapped to a corresponding return value of the C operation function.
Mandatory C operation function parameters:
- CORBA_Object oe_obj - the first parameter of a C operation function. This parameter is required by the OMG C Language Mapping Specification, but in the current implementation there is no particular use for it.
-
CORBA_Environment* oe_env - the last parameter of a C operation function. The parameter is defined in the C header file ic.h and has the following public fields:
-
CORBA_Exception_type _major - indicates if an operation invocation was successful which will be one of the following:
- CORBA_NO_EXCEPTION
- CORBA_SYSTEM_EXCEPTION
- int _fd - a file descriptor returned from erl_connect function.
- int _inbufsz - size of input buffer.
- char* _inbuf - pointer to a buffer used for input.
- int _outbufsz - size of output buffer.
- char* _outbuf - pointer to a buffer used for output.
-
int _memchunk - expansion unit size for the output buffer. This is the size of memory chunks in bytes used for increasing the output in case of buffer expansion. The value of this field must be always set to >= 32, should be at least 1024 for performance reasons.
- char regname[256] - a registered name for a process.
- erlang_pid* _to_pid - an Erlang process identifier, is only used if the registered_name parameter is the empty string.
- erlang_pid* _from_pid - your own process id so the answer can be returned
Beside the public fields, other private fields are internally used but are not mentioned here.
-
Example:
// IDL interface i1 { long op1(in long a); long op2(in string s, out long count); };
Is mapped to the following C functions
/* C */ CORBA_long i1_op1(i1 oe_obj, CORBA_long a, CORBA_Environment* oe_env) { ... } CORBA_long i1_op2(i1 oe_obj, CORBA_char* s, CORBA_long *count, CORBA_Environment* oe_env) { ... }
Operation Implementation
There is no standard CORBA mapping for the C-server side, as it is implementation-dependent but built in a similar way. The current server side mapping is different from the client side mapping in several ways:
- Argument mappings
- Result values
- Structure
- Usage
- Exception handling
6.7 Exceptions
Although exception mapping is not implemented, the stubs will generate CORBA system exceptions in case of operation failure. Thus, the only exceptions propagated by the system are built in system exceptions.
6.8 Access to Attributes
Not Supported
6.9 Summary of Argument/Result Passing for the C-client
The user-defined parameters can only be in or out parameters, as inout parameters are not supported.
This table summarize the types a client passes as arguments to a stub, and receives as a result.
| OMG IDL type | In | Out | Return |
| short | CORBA_short | CORBA_short* | CORBA_short |
| long | CORBA_long | CORBA_long* | CORBA_long |
| long long | CORBA_long_long | CORBA_long_long* | CORBA_long_long |
| unsigned short | CORBA_unsigned_short | CORBA_unsigned_short* | CORBA_unsigned_short |
| unsigned long | CORBA_unsigned_long | CORBA_unsigned_long* | CORBA_unsigned_long |
| unsigned long long | CORBA_unsigned_long_long | CORBA_unsigned_long_long* | CORBA_unsigned_long_long |
| float | CORBA_float | CORBA_float* | CORBA_float |
| double | CORBA_double | CORBA_double* | CORBA_double |
| boolean | CORBA_boolean | CORBA_boolean* | CORBA_boolean |
| char | CORBA_char | CORBA_char* | CORBA_char |
| wchar | CORBA_wchar | CORBA_wchar* | CORBA_wchar |
| octet | CORBA_octet | CORBA_octet* | CORBA_octet |
| enum | CORBA_enum | CORBA_enum* | CORBA_enum |
| struct, fixed | struct* | struct* | struct |
| struct, variable | struct* | struct** | struct* |
| union, fixed | union* | union* | union |
| union, variable | union* | union** | union* |
| string | CORBA_char* | CORBA_char** | CORBA_char* |

| sequence | sequence* | sequence** | sequence* |
| array, fixed | array | array | array_slice* |
| array, variable | array | array_slice** | array_slice* |
A client is responsible for providing storage of all arguments passed as in arguments.
| OMG IDL type | Out | Return |
| short | 1 | 1 |
| long | 1 | 1 |
| long long | 1 | 1 |
| unsigned short | 1 | 1 |
| unsigned long | 1 | 1 |
| unsigned long long | 1 | 1 |
| float | 1 | 1 |
| double | 1 | 1 |
| boolean | 1 | 1 |
| char | 1 | 1 |
| wchar | 1 | 1 |
| octet | 1 | 1 |
| enum | 1 | 1 |
| struct, fixed | 1 | 1 |
| struct, variable | 2 | 2 |
| string | 2 | 2 |
| wstring | 2 | 2 |
| sequence | 2 | 2 |
| array, fixed | 1 | 3 |
| array, variable | 3 | 3 |
| Case | Description |
| 1 | Caller allocates all necessary storage, except that which may be encapsulated and managed within the parameter itself. |
| 2 | The caller allocates a pointer and passes it by reference to the callee. The callee sets the pointer to point to a valid instance of the parameter's type. The caller is responsible for releasing the returned storage. Following completion of a request, the caller is not allowed to modify any values in the returned storage. To do so the caller must first copy the returned instance into a new instance, then modify the new instance. |
| 3 | The caller allocates a pointer to an array slice which has all the same dimensions of the original array except the first, and passes it by reference to the callee. The callee sets the pointer to point to a valid instance of the array. The caller is responsible for releasing the returned storage. Following completion of a request, the caller is not allowed to modify any values in the returned storage. To do so the caller must first copy the returned instance into a new instance, then modify the new instance. |
The returned storage in case 2 and 3 is allocated as one block of memory so it is possible to deallocate it with one call of CORBA_free.
6.10 Supported Memory Allocation Functions
-
CORBA_Environment can be allocated from the user by calling CORBA_Environment_alloc().
The interface for this function is
CORBA_Environment *CORBA_Environment_alloc(int inbufsz, int outbufsz);
where :
-
inbufsz is the desired size of input buffer
-
outbufsz is the desired size of output buffer
-
return value is a pointer to an allocated and initialized CORBA_Environment structure
-
-
Strings can be allocated from the user by calling CORBA_string_alloc().
The interface for this function is
CORBA_char *CORBA_string_alloc(CORBA_unsigned_long len);
where :
-
len is the length of the string to be allocated.
-
Thus far, no other type allocation function is supported.
6.11 Special Memory Deallocation Functions
-
void CORBA_free(void *storage)
This function will free storage allocated by the stub.
-
void CORBA_exception_free(CORBA_environment *ev)
This function will free storage allocated under exception propagation.
6.12 Exception Access Functions
-
CORBA_char *CORBA_exception_id(CORBA_Environment *ev)
This function will return raised exception identity.
-
void *CORBA_exception_value(CORBA_Environment *ev)
This function will return the value of a raised exception.
6.13 Special Types
-
The erlang binary type has some special features.
While the erlang::binary idl type has the same C-definition as a generated sequence of octets :
module erlang { .... // an erlang binary typedef sequence<octet> binary; };
it provides a way on sending trasparent data between C and Erlang.
The C-definition (ic.h) for an erlang binary is :
typedef struct { CORBA_unsigned_long _maximum; CORBA_unsigned_long _length; CORBA_octet* _buffer; } erlang_binary; /* ERLANG BINARY */
The differences (between erlang::binary and sequence< octet >) are :
-
on the erlang side the user is sending/receiving typical built in erlang binaries, using term_to_binary() / binary_to_term() to create / extract binary structures.
-
no encoding/decoding functions are generated
-
the underlying protocol is more efficient than usual sequences of octets
The erlang binary IDL type is defined in erlang.idl, while its C definition is located in the ic.h header file, both in the IC-< vsn >/include directory. The user will have to include the file erlang.idl in order to use the erlang::binary type.
-
6.14 A Mapping Example
This is a small example of a simple stack. There are two operations on the stack, push and pop. The example shows all generated files as well as conceptual usage of the stack.
// The source IDL file: stack.idl struct s { long l; string s; }; interface stack { void push(in s val); s pop(); };
When this file is compiled it produces four files, two for the top scope and two for the stack interface scope. The important parts of the generated C code for the stack API is shown below.
stack.c
void push(stack oe_obj, s val, CORBA_Environment* oe_env) { ... } s* pop(stack oe_obj, CORBA_Environment* oe_env) { ... }
oe_stack.h
#ifndef OE_STACK_H #define OE_STACK_H /*------------------------------------------------------------ * Struct definition: s */ typedef struct { long l; char *s; } s; #endif
stack.h just contains an include statement of oe_stack.h.
oe_code_s.c
int oe_sizecalc_s(CORBA_Environment *oe_env, int* oe_size_count_index, int* oe_size) { ... } int oe_encode_s(CORBA_Environment *oe_env, s* oe_rec) { ... } int oe_decode_s(CORBA_Environment *oe_env, char *oe_first, int* oe_outindex, s *oe_out) { ... }
The only files that are really important are the .h files and the stack.c file.


Darts results: Luke Woodhouse too hot for Daryl Gurney in Players Championship Finals
by Sporting LifeLuke Woodhouse enjoyed a dream big-stage debut at the Ladbrokes Players Championship Finals with a brilliant 6-5 win over Daryl Gurney.
Worcestershire's Woodhouse, 31, produced the most memorable display of his career as he came from 3-1 and 5-3 down to see off Gurney, who missed two match darts in leg nine before watching on as his opponent took out 71 in the decider.
A two-time UK Open qualifier previously, Woodhouse was appearing in front of the TV cameras for the first time but was left celebrating a breakthrough moment against the world number six.
"I'm lost for words - I'm so happy," said Woodhouse, ranked 71st on the PDC Order of Merit. "It's massive for me. It was daunting and it took me a couple of legs to get into the game.
"I just wanted to stick in there with him and hope that if he missed a few doubles I could take my chance, and that's what happened. He didn't play as well as he usually does and I took advantage of that.
"I don't fear anybody and on my day, if I click, I really think I can beat anybody. It's amazing to win my first game on TV – it was almost an out-of-body experience!"
It was a result which was strangely foreseen by Gurney - in a roundabout way - during a recent feature he did with Gerwyn Price for Sporting Life, in which the Iceman asked him to predict a player that not many people have heard of who'll become a big star.
In the video below, watch to find out who Gurney thought that might be, if you haven't already guessed!
Woodhouse's win means that he now faces Gabriel Clemens in round two on Saturday afternoon, after the German thrower saw off Mark McGeeney 6-4.
World number seven Wright, meanwhile, also paid for missing match darts as he let a 5-3 lead slip against James Wilson before the Huddersfield ace took the deciding leg.
Wilson will now meet Chris Dobey, who landed a 164 checkout in a comfortable 6-1 win over Spain's Cristo Reyes.
Michael van Gerwen landed a 170 checkout but had to overcome a scare from Luke Humphries before taking a 6-3 win to open his challenge for a fifth Players Championship Finals title.
Van Gerwen took out the maximum finish on his way to a 4-0 lead, only for Humphries to hit back to 4-3 - but the World Youth Championship finalist crucially missed two darts to level.
The World Champion capitalised to move 5-3 up before sealing victory with a 95 finish which featured two double 19s, ending the game with an average just above 100.
"It wasn't my best performance but i had some nice finishes in there and a win is a win," said Van Gerwen. "I did some good things early on but I wasn't 100 percent focused, so I have to concentrate on myself and play better in the next game."
Van Gerwen now resumes his rivalry with Adrian Lewis, who came from 6-4 down to win 6-4 against Josh Payne in their first round tie.
Grand Slam of Darts winner Gerwyn Price - the number one seed for this event - averaged 102 in a strong showing as he defeated Mickey Mansell 6-3, and he now plays Keegan Brown, after the former World Youth Champion saw off Andy Boulton by the same scoreline.
Five-time World Champion Raymond van Barneveld began his penultimate tournament before retirement with a superb 99 average as he overcame UK Open champion Nathan Aspinall 6-2.
"My form is there and I can do better than this but I feel confident," said the veteran Dutchman. "Nathan has had a great year so I was warned and he's a phenomenal player but I play the board.
"There's no pressure on me and every single round is a bonus, so I just want to play as well as I can. I'm practising well and I believe in myself and everyone knows that if I play my game I can beat anyone in the world."
Van Barneveld now meets Joe Cullen, who swept past Australia's Kyle Anderson with a 6-2 victory which was sealed with a 121 finish.
World number two Rob Cross dropped just two legs as he defeated Ron Meulenkamp to set up a second round tie with Jamie Hughes, who was a 6-3 winner against another Dutchman, Jermaine Wattimena.
Second seed James Wade defied two ton-plus finishes from Ted Evetts before taking out 104 to seal a 6-4 win over the youngster, and the left-hander now plays Ricky Evans after the Kettering ace's narrow 6-5 defeat of Steve Beaton.
World Championship finalist Michael Smith enjoyed a 6-1 win over Martin Schindler and now plays Brendan Dolan, who won by the same scoreline against Ross Smith in their first round tie.
Simon Whitlock produced a rousing comeback from 3-0 down to defeat Dutch prospect Jeffrey de Zwaan, who made a sensational start to their first round contest.
However, Whitlock finished 88 and 148 in successive legs to begin his fightback, before edging to a 6-5 win in a deciding leg.
Whitlock's second round opponent, John Henderson, was another narrow winner as he survived missed match darts from Ryan Joyce, who was unable to convert three chances for victory in the deciding leg of their clash.
Mensur Suljovic came from 5-3 down to deny Kim Huybrechts in a decider, and the Austrian now plays Dutchman Danny Noppert, who won four straight legs from 5-2 down against Ryan Searle before taking victory.
Suffolk left-hander Ryan Meikle enjoyed the biggest win of his young career by whitewashing Jonny Clayton, the 2017 Players Championship Finals runner-up, in an impressive victory.
The four-time Development Tour event winner's second round opponent will be Darius Labanauskas, with the Lithuanian having edged out Harry Ward 6-5 in their opener.
Dave Chisnall hit back from 2-1 down to reel off five straight legs in his 6-2 win over Matthew Edgar and he now plays Mervyn King, who averaged 100 in his narrow 6-5 success over Justin Pipe.
Portugal's Jose De Sousa, a two-time Players Championship event winner in 2019, enjoyed a winning debut by defeating James Richardson 6-3, and he now plays Stephen Bunting after the St Helens ace's 6-2 win over Dimitri Van den Bergh.
Lakeside Champion Glen Durrant overcame Scott Baker 6-2 to set up a tie with Max Hopp, who defied a 170 finish from Jelle Klaasen in a 6-3 victory.
Poland's Krzysztof Ratajski punished Steve Lennon for 16 missed doubles in a 6-1 win which sets up a tie with another Irish ace, William O'Connor, after the World Cup finalist defeated Steve West 6-4.
Ian White was a 6-4 winner against South Africa's Devon Petersen and now plays Dutchman Vincent van der Voort, who won by the same margin against former World Youth Champion Arron Monk.
Saturday's play at the Butlin's Minehead Resort sees the second round and third round split across two sessions, before the £500,000 tournament concludes on Sunday.

I am an experienced Java architect who provided applications and solutions for companies on the national and international level in Belgium and the European Union. I can deliver turnkey applications for various businesses and cover almost all aspects of this process: alignment on uses cases, application design, development, (unit, integration, performance) testing, continuous build, deploy, release and support. I enjoy translating business challenges into useful applications because for me it is a personal fulfilment and my contribution to the society. I always try to keep up with the modern technologies, tools and methodologies. In most cases I used to work with agile methodology. I have worked on a wide range of projects from as simple as making this website to complex systems used across many countries. Most of the IT projects require coordinated efforts of many people - team(s) of developers, project managers, business analysts, testers. I have used to work in such environment mostly in technical lead and architectural roles to align on the requirements implementation, manage developers and provide an overall application design.
I have written a lot fo code and every time I try to create as few lines of code as
possible to achieve the goal but not at the expense of clarity. There are so many frameworks and tools that facilitate the application development these days.
In Java it is probably Spring/Spring Boot ecosystem that is dominating for new projects. My recent project were Spring Boot based and I have observed
a significant productivity/quality gains from configurations by default for various systems (messaging, database, web services etc.), embedded web server and
outstanding testing support.
Businesses are integrating a lot of things these days so some sort of message routers or complete enterprise service buses are used almost
everywhere. I have recently worked with Apache Camel in the project to modernize the Belgian social security system and with Spring Integration
for new applications to merge banking systems of Belgium and Netherlands.
I found that I do more and more JavaScript/TypeScript programming for the front end development.
I prefer Angular and VueJs (similar to old good AngularJs). I think that with NodeJs JavaScript can compete with traditional server back-end languages
and will take a significant market share from them.
For my private projects I prefer to use Python to make some experiments in the data science and artificial intelligence fields.
Testing is a very important part of the development process. Developers need to prove their implementation contract
by unit tests. Components need to work together and this has to be proved by integrations tests. There should be no regression and the performance
of the overall system should comply with the non-functional requirements.
All this should be planned, executed and controlled from the begging of the project till the end. Test coverage reports give some peace of mind
to the management. Green light after tests does the same for developers. Architects feel more comfortable if they are reasonably sure that the new
system will not collapse under some load in production etc.
ING bank has decided to merge its Belgian and Dutch operations in one cloud/micro-service based platform (Unite).
As a technical lead I was responsible for the design and development of a new credit risk assessment application. The application
was based on Spring Boot with some custom ING extensions for security. It exposes and consumes REST APIs (Swagger) and
also consumes services via Tibco and WMQ. The file exchange (sftp and xfb) was implemented via Spring Integration. When the foundation
for the credit risk assessment application was created I had to leave the project in Brussels because my wife got an assignment in Singapore
where I am located now.
The Belgian government has ordered a new version of the Social Security system running on Java to its dedicated IT
contractor Smals. As an application architect I was developing the business logic of several modules in JEE/Spring/Spring Boot
and user interfaces in Angular.
Apache Camel was used to manage the message exchange between modules. The system runs on several JBoss and WebLogic servers
with Oracle database. The development and deployment have been done on time without major issues.
I was an architect and lead developer for this project.
The business process can be describes as following: Car dealers are using on-line technical documentations of cars for their service needs.
After logging in they are can reach relevant interactive documentation and other information depending on their access level.
The documents come continuously from various sources all over the world. Some documents/information has to be delivered to dealers with a higher
priority than others are. The documents should be accessible base on the context e.g. car/electrical system or as a flash message on a dealer
screen after a log in. The statistical information of the application usage should be available to the European and country level headquarters.
The implementation was using Apache Lucene with specific indexing rules and Spring/Spring Web. The application was deployed on WebSphere servers.
This project was the first to use Apache Lucene based technologies in Toyota.

Watch Dog is a responsible website, reacting to the eating catched in the camera.
Project is based on machine learning and p5.js. I used teachable machine to train my image recognition mode, with 3 recognized status: Normal, Eating and Stop.
When the "watch dog" realized I'm eating in the camera, it will start to bark (dog barking sound triggered). When the "watch dog" read my "stop" gesture, it will stop the barking(The first veision of stop is recognized teddy bear in the camera, as a toy for the "dog" to please it. But I somehow covered that version).
The most difficult part is to control the Interactive sound effect. The first difficulty is to preload the sound, make sure it will respond to the status change. The next difficulty is that, when website get the status "eating", since the status is real time, is got continuously, it will trigger multiple times barking...(feel like I'm surrounded by thousands of puppies). I added a status to the sound file, to make sure the "eating" status can only trigger the sound when the file is not playing.

Atelier Morales by Raúl Zamudio
The first time I saw Encuentro #1 (Encounter # 1), a work by the Paris-based, Cuban Atelier Morales, I thought of that famous line from the 17th century British metaphysical poet John Donne: “no man is an island”.
For what is depicted in Encuentro # 1 is make-shift, vernacular architecture that has ostensibly washed upon some idyllic tropical shore; and because of Atelier Morales‚ cultural background its compelling to think of Cuba. These references, however sounding like generalizations, are not without their own merit: Donne wrote his famous line when Old World expansion into the New
World was well underway, reminding us of the dark side of any cultural efflorescence.
The potentially Cuban reference is equally undermined because the image of exile and displacement could also refer to Florida: is the structure departing from or arriving on shore? Butin associating Encuentro #1 with Cuba or Floridian exile, one is taking the easy way out; for the viewer is teased to read this work in this conventional manner that slides into cultural stereotypes and ultimately effects the viewer in a self-reflexive way.
This strategy of viewer interrogation is also detected, for instance, in the work of Kara Walker and her ante-bellum caricatures that struck a raw nerve with the “politically correct”; or Anselm Kiefer‚s early work and his use of death camp imagery that haunted those who refused to reconcile Germany‚ spast; or Andy Warhol‚s commercial iconography that left one wonderingwhether he was critiquing or reifying consumer culture?
It is in this gray register and a host of others, that Atelier Morales‚ work has become interesting and pertinent; and more so within the backdrop of globalization and questions of locality and cultural specificity. These questions are extended into discussions concerning anachronistic taxonomies exposed as vestiges from late 20th century identity politics that itself has
become orthodoxy. Cutting against this grain have been exhibitions circulating around the issue of the post-national, post-black and post-LatinAmerica, for example. These debates are more than just an issue of semantics, and like Encuentro # 1 and its paradox of arrival and/ordeparture, there is an unintended parallax perspective created between subject and object.
This relationship manifests in the subject‚s perception of an object that is altered by the simultaneous shift of both subject and object, creating an illusion that it is only the latter that moves. Thus in a post-card perfect vista that is visually poetic as it is subliminally critical, Encuentro # 1 is conveying that notion of inclusion found in the saying „no man is an island,‰ while questioning the perspective of the man separated from the island who, in looking from the outside in, had initially inspired the island metaphor.
Raúl Zamudio chose to write on this work because of its simultaneous Arcadian and dystopic qualities. Finding such contradiction poetic, the author considers Teresa Ayuso and Juan Luis Morales Menocal who make-up Atelier Morales, one of the most interesting artists working today.

Google addresses complaints of sub-4K image quality on Stadia
Google says "developers... will continue to improve their games on Stadia."
by Kyle OrlandSince March, Google has been promising that its streaming Stadia platform would be capable of full 4K, 60fps gameplay (for users with a robust Internet connection and $10/month Stadia Pro subscription). But technical analyses since launch have shown that some of the service's highest profile games aren't hitting that mark.
A Digital Foundry analysis of Red Dead Redemption 2 on Stadia, for instance, found that the game actually runs at a native 2560x1440 resolution, which is then upscaled to the 4K standard of 4096x2160 via the Chromecast Ultra. And a Bungie representative said that the Stadia version of Destiny 2 runs at the PC equivalent of "medium" graphics settings and that the game will "render at a native 1080p and then upsample [to 4K] and apply a variety of techniques to increase the overall quality of effect."
As we noted in our review, at normal TV viewing distances, Stadia's apparently upscaled 4K images can look relatively comparable to a native 4K image from a high-end console (Stadia's PC and mobile resolution is currently limited to a disappointing 1080p). But with Google claiming server instances that have a console-beating "10.7 GPU teraflops" of polygon pushing power to devote to a game, many Stadia customers are wondering why they aren't getting the full native resolution that the company has long promised.
Over the weekend, Google issued a statement to 9to5Google that essentially places the blame for this situation on Stadia developers themselves (emphasis added):
Stadia streams at 4K and 60fps—and that includes all aspects of our graphics pipeline from game to screen: GPU, encoder, and Chromecast Ultra all outputting at 4K to 4K TVs, with the appropriate Internet connection. Developers making Stadia games work hard to deliver the best streaming experience for every game. Like you see on all platforms, this includes a variety of techniques to achieve the best overall quality. We give developers the freedom of how to achieve the best image quality and frame rate on Stadia, and we are impressed with what they have been able to achieve for day one.
We expect that many developers can, and in most cases will, continue to improve their games on Stadia. And because Stadia lives in our data centers, developers are able to innovate quickly while delivering even better experiences directly to you without the need for game patches or downloads.
This answer is a bit unsatisfying, since games like Destiny 2 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are already running at 4K resolutions on home consoles and PCs. If Linux-based ports running on Stadia's high-end servers can't achieve that same native performance at launch, it's concerning to say the least.


Below we load in a data set of crimes incidents in the Philadelphia area and the divide the sets into all crime events and theft crime events. Using pyscan we can then extract approximate regions of interest at scale.
In [17]:
import pyscan
import csv
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import random
def get_coord(i, lst):
return [pt[i] for pt in lst]
query = "assault"
baseline = []
measured = []
with open("police_inct.csv", "r") as f:
reader = csv.DictReader(f)
numAnomalies = 0
for row in reader:
try:
x = float(row["POINT_X"])
y = float(row["POINT_Y"])
if not (39.8 < y < 40.2 and -76 < x):
continue
except:
continue
point = pyscan.WPoint(1.0, x, y, 1.0)
baseline.append(point)
if "thefts" in row["TEXT_GENERAL_CODE"].lower():
measured.append(point)
We can plot the data set to see the distribution of the theft vs. the background crime. In the below example we shuffle the points so that measured points or baseline points are systematically drawn over.
In [18]:
mixed_pts = list(zip(measured, ["r"] * len(measured))) + list(zip(baseline, ["b"] * len(baseline)))
random.shuffle(mixed_pts)
xs = get_coord(0, [p[0] for p in mixed_pts])
ys = get_coord(1, [p[0] for p in mixed_pts])
cs = [p[1] for p in mixed_pts]
f, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 12))
ax.set_axis_off()
ax.scatter(xs, ys, color=cs, marker='.')
plt.show()
It easy to use pyscan to extract an interesting region. The first step in most of the default scanning algorithms is contructing a “net” of points to define the regions of interest. This net can be created by taking a sample of the measured points and a sample of the baseline points and unioning them.
In [9]:
net = pyscan.my_sample(measured, 100) + pyscan.my_sample(baseline, 100)
f, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 12))
ax.set_axis_off()
ax.scatter(get_coord(0, net), get_coord(1, net), marker='.')
plt.show()
We also take a sample of the measured points and a sample of the baseline points. A good rule of thumb is that your measured and baseline samples should be roughly 1/4 * len(net)^2, so in this example the sample sizes should be 5000.
In [10]:
#take the samples
m_sample = pyscan.my_sample(measured, 5000)
b_sample = pyscan.my_sample(baseline, 5000)
#plot the samples
mixed_samples = list(zip(m_sample, ["r"] * len(m_sample))) + list(zip(b_sample, ["b"] * len(b_sample)))
random.shuffle(mixed_samples)
xs = get_coord(0, [p[0] for p in mixed_samples])
ys = get_coord(1, [p[0] for p in mixed_samples])
cs = [p[1] for p in mixed_samples]
_, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 12))
ax.set_axis_off()
ax.scatter(xs, ys, color=cs, marker='.')
plt.show()
Using the combination of the net and sample we can scan the point set using one of the various pyscan scanning functions. ## Halfplane Scanning
In [20]:
disc_f = pyscan.KULLDORF
halfplane, h_val = pyscan.max_halfplane(net, m_sample, b_sample, disc_f)
# l = (a, b, c) where ax + by + c = 0 => (-ax -c) / b = y
def f(mr, x):
l = mr.get_coords()
return -(x * l[0] + l[2]) / l[1]
_, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 12))
ax.set_axis_off()
ax.scatter(xs, ys, color=cs, marker='.')
ax.plot([-75.3, -74.95], [f(halfplane, -75.2), f(halfplane, -74.95)])
plt.show()
In [21]:
disk, d_val = pyscan.max_disk(net, m_sample, b_sample, disc_f)
# Plot disk
_, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 12))
ax.set_axis_off()
ax.scatter(xs, ys, color=cs, marker='.')
d = plt.Circle(disk.get_origin(), disk.get_radius(), color='g', alpha=.8)
ax.add_artist(d)
plt.show()
Rectangle scanning by default doesn’t use a point “net” though it is possible to use a net if needed.
In [22]:
# all of these methods create a grid first and then scan the grid using various methods.
grid = pyscan.Grid(100, m_sample, b_sample)
# a slow exact method
subgrid = pyscan.max_subgrid(grid, disc_f)
rect = grid.toRectangle(subgrid)
_, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 12))
ax.set_axis_off()
ax.scatter(xs, ys, color=cs, marker='.')
r = plt.Rectangle((rect.lowX(), rect.lowY()), rect.upX() - rect.lowX(), rect.upY() - rect.lowY(),
alpha=.8,
color='g')
ax.add_artist(r)
plt.show()
In [26]:
# a faster approximate method. Recommend you use the RKULLDORF method for this since the standard Kulldorf
# function can be a bit unstable for small and very large regions.
disc_f = pyscan.RKULLDORF
subgrid = pyscan.max_subgrid_convex(grid, .01, disc_f)
rect = grid.toRectangle(subgrid)
_, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(16, 12))
ax.set_axis_off()
ax.scatter(xs, ys, color=cs, marker='.')
r = plt.Rectangle((rect.lowX(), rect.lowY()), rect.upX() - rect.lowX(), rect.upY() - rect.lowY(),
alpha=.8,
color='g')
ax.add_artist(r)
plt.show()


TRIPPIN' A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1999 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): *
Have you grown tired of the recent slew of lame teen comedies? You know the ones.
Well, TRIPPIN's writer Gary Hardwick and director David Hubbard have a few new ideas to bring to this overworked genre. Two to be precise.
Are you sitting down? Here comes the big inspiration. They've chosen an almost all-black cast. Yes, they've recycled most of the same old humor, but they populated this middle class, suburban high school with African-Americans. Gosh, what an amazing concept. Using the same pastoral setting and well-manicured lawns, they plunked down a cast with a different skin color to repeat the same old lines.
Their second clever gimmick is that they decided to set half of the movie in a dream world. This way Greg (Donald Adeosun Faison), the film's wimpy lead, can imagine the life he wants. In these "trippin'" sessions, he surrounds himself with bikini clad girls with large, man-made bosoms.
And, whereas in real-life his grades are a disaster, in his fantasies, Greg is sought after by the best colleges. He interviews the college recruiters rather than the other way around. When Harvard comes to call, he demands to know exactly how many "honeys" they have on campus. Greg also sees himself as a world-famous, foul-mouthed poet. As his beefy bodyguards keep his screaming female fans at bay, he lets spew a stream of expletives that form his poetry.
In a recent article in the New York Times, Spike Lee bemoaned the fact that studios favor BOOTY CALL movies about African-Americans over more substantive ones like ROSEWOOD. He also told the ugly truth that audiences, of all colors, favor the former, so the audiences are as much to blame as the studios.
TRIPPIN continues in the tradition of the African-American movie that insults African-Americans by filling the story with racial and sexual stereotypes. The only rich African-American, for example, is the local crime boss.  We also have the crotchety old grandfather figure, who spends all of his time complaining about the food. Worst of all are the females. Most of the girls, except for the lead named Cinny (Maia Campbell), are judged solely by the size of their breasts and their buttocks.
The unfunny script is filled with extremely awkward snippets of dialog. While practicing a job interview in class, Cinny comes up with a one-liner that would certainly bemuse any prospective employer. "I am the light that illuminates the answers you need to know," she says. Bet you've never been told that by an interviewee.
The whole plot is that Greg wants to date the super-popular Cinny, who only goes out with the BMOC. In a high school in which the school's sign proclaims that "Copulation is Salvation," do you think he might eventually win her over?
Cinny's cliched best friend, a pudgy girl who can't get a date, puts Greg down some pretty hard to take, but obvious, facts. Greg doesn't have a gang or a car. Still, when the prom music starts, you know that this kid's luck will change. Too bad the audience's never does.
TRIPPIN' mercifully runs just 1:32. It is rated R for sex, nudity and profanity and would be acceptable for older teenagers.

I did try Pomodoro techniques and it seems work for me. Every 25mins I have a break(5mins). Then after 4 rounds(4*25mins)I have a longer break(20mins). Time seems fly quicker than when I haven't tried Pomodoro techniques. For growth mindset, when I recalled my net volley of tennis, I did gain much confidence through actions(picked up more balls and returned some good shots).
This saying"Confidence is just displayed ability" really hit me. And my previous experience tells me that it is true. If we displayed our ability,then the Confidence would come. I am going to use my actions to drive my mindset from now on.
Pomodoro techniques and Growth mindset worked for me.
I will experiment further with Meditation and Growth Mindset. Meditation seems have quite a few different types. I am keen to explore them.

The running time of RANDOMIZED-QUICKSORT depends on the number of calls n to PARTITION and X i.e., the total number of comparisons, between pairs of elements in an array A of size n.
The expected running time of RANDOMIZED-QUICKSORT iscan be shown by first showing, .
Let the elements in array A in increasing order of value be,
z1 < z2 < · · · < zn. This is only for the purpose of analysis.
For 1 ≤ i < j ≤ n, let to be the set of elements between and of the array A.
The indicator random variable, is used to calculate the lower bound on the number of comparisons.
Take expectations of X on both sides and use linearity of expectation. Then,
Hence, the expected running time of RANDOMIZED-QUICKSORT is .
In QUICKSORT algorithm, the expected running time is as the recursion stops at level . There will be subarrays of size k in the resulting array.
The INSERTON-SORT takes time to sort the entire array. This is equivalent to sorting each of the subarrays of size k .
Thus, this sorting algorithm runs in the expected time.
The value of k must be chosen in such a way that it does not exceed the expected running time of QUICKSORT.
If it is chosen very big, then the cost of insertion will be greater than. Hence, k must be between 1 and .

#19 Resolve an issue with the genesis block hash which is preventing compilation of Credits on some systems.
creditsd: chainparams.cpp:173: CMainParams::CMainParams(): Assertion `consensus.hashGenesisBlock == uint256S("0x0000dea5d2c92cf3f1dce5031cc2b368b2a5e3ebea73ea1278fef673d10b1345")'
failed.
Only single user (BarterDEX reporting this issue. Suspect previous blockchain data present). Bounty removed.
Closing. BarterDEX have confirmed it as a non-issue. They were using a replacement library for malloc (faster, more efficient) and that seemed to cause the problem

Malta PM offers pardon for name of journalist killer
Daphne Caruana Galizia's murder followed her work unearthing corruption at the highest levels.
Maltese Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said on Tuesday he promised the alleged middleman in Daphne Caruana Galizia's murder a pardon if he identifies the mastermind of the journalist's assassination.
Muscat made the surprise offer after authorities last week arrested someone who claimed to know who ordered the deadly 2017 car bombing of the renowned blogger and journalist.
More:
The pardon would cover any criminal cases the suspect may face but he must assist the authorities and his evidence must be corroborated in court, Muscat said.
Maltese police and Interpol, which has been helping with the high-profile case, last week arrested several people as part of an anti-money laundering operation, including someone suspected of involvement in Caruana Galizia's murder.
Caruana Galizia, described by supporters as a "one-woman WikiLeaks", had highlighted corruption in Malta, including among politicians.
"The targeted person, following interrogation, expressed the intention to collaborate with the authorities and through his lawyers requested that first a presidential pardon be given on all the cases he might have had," Muscat told journalists.
"I have discussed the issue with the authorities including the attorney general and we agreed that no blanket pardon should be given without any certainty regarding the information to be submitted.
"I have signed a letter ... that states that when the person testifies in court and the information is confirmed and corroborated, I would be recommending that this person is granted a presidential pardon," Muscat said.
The prime minister and his family were among those accused by Caruana Galizia's investigations and her blog, which often launched highly personal attacks.
Three men are facing trial for allegedly carrying out the killing, but the mastermind has not been identified.
In September, Malta made a surprise u-turn and appointed a retired judge to head a public inquiry into the journalist's 2017 killing.

--- layout: newsstory title: CRISP'S GOALDEN WONDER match: Yeltz 2 Merthyr 2 ---
Some excellent finishing and quality football meant the final score was Halesowen 7 Merthyr 1 - unfortunately that was only the supporters' game in the morning. In the real thing, The Yeltz twice came from behind to draw 2-2 in a game we really needed to win.
Two brilliant pieces of finishing by Merthyr's Ian Mitchell, separated by a brilliant move and finish by Piearce meant we went in at the break 2-1 behind.
We came out strongly in the second half and Crispy scored a (goalden) wonder of a goal, flicking it up and then volleying it in from all of 60 yards - it gets farther out the more I think about it.
With just about all of the other chasers winning, we've slipped back to 6th place. We CAN still do it, but we really need to start putting a winning run together.

An emergency fund is for those unexpected events in life that you can’t plan for: the loss
of a job, an unexpected pregnancy, a faulty car transmission, and the list goes on and
on. It’s not a matter of if these events will happen; it’s simply a matter of when they
will happen.
This beginning emergency fund will keep life’s little Murphies from turning into new
debt while you work off the old debt. If a real emergency happens, you can handle it
with your emergency fund. No more borrowing. It’s time to break the cycle of debt!
List your debts, excluding the house, in order. The smallest balance should be your number
one priority. Don’t worry about interest rates unless two debts have similar payoffs.
If that’s the case, then list the higher interest rate debt first.
The point of the debt snowball is simply this: You need some quick wins in order to
stay pumped up about getting out of debt! Paying off debt is not always about math. It’s
about motivation. Personal finance is 20% head knowledge and 80% behavior. When you start
knocking off the easier debts, you will see results and you will stay motivated to dump
your debt.
Once you complete the first two baby steps, you will have built serious momentum. But don’t
start throwing all your “extra” money into investments quite yet. It’s time to build
your full emergency fund. Ask yourself, “What would it take for me to live for three
to six months if I lost my income?” Your answer to that question is how much you should
save.
 Keep these savings in a money market account. Remember, this stash of
money is not an investment; it is insurance you’re paying to yourself, a buffer between
you and life.
When you reach this step, you’ll have no payments—except the house—and a fully funded emergency fund. Now it’s time to get serious about building wealth. Dave suggests investing 15% of your household income into Roth IRAs and pre-tax retirement plans. Don’t invest more than that because the extra money will help you complete the next two steps: college savings and paying off your home early.
By this point, you should have already started Baby Step 4—investing 15% of your income—before
saving for college. Whether you are saving for you or your child to go to college, you
need to start now.
In order to have enough money saved for college, you need to have a goal. Determine
how much per month you should be saving at 12% interest in order to have enough for college.
If you save at 12% and inflation is at 4%, then you are moving ahead of inflation at
a net of 8% per year!
Now it’s time to begin chunking all of your extra money toward the mortgage. You are getting
closer to realizing the dream of a life with no house payments.
As you attack this last debt, you will gain momentum much like you did back in the second
step of the debt snowball. Remember, having absolutely no payments is totally within
your reach!
It’s time to build wealth and give like never before. Leave an inheritance for future generations,
and bless others now with your excess. It's really the only way to live!
Golda Meir says, “You can’t shake hands with a clenched fist.” Vow to never hold your
money so tightly that you never give any away. Hoarding money is not the way to wealth.
Save for yourself, save for your family’s future, and be gracious enough to bless others.
You can do all three at the same time.

New MV Act To Be Implemented In Goa From January: Minister
by Press Trust Of IndiaGeneral News
The Goa government will impose enhanced traffic violation fines as per the amended Motor Vehicles Act from January next year, said state Transport Minister said
Written By Press Trust Of India | Mumbai | Updated On: November 25, 2019 15:36 IST
The Goa government will impose enhanced traffic violation fines as per the amended Motor Vehicles Act from January next year, said state Transport Minister Mauvin Godinho on Monday.
The Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill 2019 was passed by Parliament in July and its steep fines were to come into effect from September 1, though some states pushed it back saying people needed time to get acquainted with the enhanced penalties.

New MV Act in Goa
Godinho told reporters enforcement of fines in Goa was delayed because of the bad condition of roads.
'The repair of roads in Goa will be completed by December,' he added.
'We will implement the amended MV Act from January onwards. Goa will copy the Gujarat model, where fines for certain offences have been lowered,' he said.

The Gujarat government had reduced some fines under the amended Act in September.
While the new Act stipulated a fine of Rs 1,000 for riding without a helmet, the Gujarat government finalised the amount at Rs 500. Similar was the case with driving a four-wheeler without wearing a seat-belt.
The penalty for driving without a license was brought down by the Gujarat government from Rs 5,000, as suggested by the new Act, to Rs 2,000 for two-wheelers and Rs 3,000 for four-wheelers.

This is a small akka cluster application with a play frontend to show
The tutorial is strucuture in the following way
Open three terminals at the project root and run in each of them one line of the following commands:
sbt "project backend" "run 2551"
sbt "project backend" "run 2552"
sbt "project frontend" run
The first two lines boot the cluster seed nodes. The last one starts the frontend,
which needs at least one seed node to be up and running to join the cluster.
Now go to localhost:9000 and enjoy the frontend. Every page is backed by a websocket, so you do not need to releoad any page, every!
If you want to fire up more cluster nodes, run this in a new terminal:
sbt "project backend" run
The application is split up in three subprojects.
At localhost:9000/#/dashboard you find a minimal dashboard, which shows the current nodes available in the cluster. Open a new terminal and run:
sbt "project backend" run
After a short time you will see a new backend node appearing. If you kill that console, the nodes state
will change to unreachable and will then be removed.
This dashboard also includes some stats about the cluster, like memory consumption of each node.
These information are more accurate if you put the native sigar library on your classpath, which
is only available for the backend cluster.
Take a look at the akka-sample-cluster-scala
activator to see how you can achieve this. The graph is rendered via d3js in a defined
angularjs directive (in frontend/assets/js/dashboard/directives).
Behind the scenes there are two websockets which update the data. The MonitorActor is responsible for the cluster state changes and the MetricsActor for the cluster metric changes. You could put them in one actor aswell, which listens for all the events.
This example demonstrates how to submit tasks to the cluster. At localhost:9000/#/services/factorial you can submit a factorial calculation n times to the cluster. On the right you see how many factorials are already computed and how long it took.
The backend implements the actual computation within the factorial.Service.scala. The WorkerActor does the job and the FactorialBackend is just for creating the backend actor, which is called by the frontend.
The instantiation of the worker actors is done by the frontend. The piece of configuration in the application.conf looks like this:
akka.actor.deployment {
/factorialService/factorialWorkerRouter = {
router = adaptive-group
metrics-selector = mix
nr-of-instances = 100
routees.paths = ["/user/factorialBackend"]
cluster {
enabled = on
use-role = backend
allow-local-routees = off
}
}
}
The factorialService actor is register at startup time via the Global.scala.

procedures/4
procedures/4 – retrieves all Prolog-defined procedures
all_procedures/4 – retrieves all Prolog- or C-defined procedures
all_ntbl_entries/4 – retrieves all name table entries
FORMS
procedures(Module,Pred,Arity,DBRef)
all_procedures(Module,Pred,Arity,DBRef)
all_ntbl_entries(Module,Pred,Arity,DBRef)
DESCRIPTION
For all three of these 4-argument predicates, the system name table is
searched for an entry corresponding to the triple (Module,Pred,Arity). If such an entry is found, the name table entry is accessed and DBRef is unified with the database reference of the procedure’s first clause.
procedures/4 only considers procedures defined in Prolog; all_procedures/4 considers just procedures defined in either Prolog or C; all_ntbl_entries/4 considers all name table entries. If the triple (Module,Pred,Arity) is not completely specified, all matching name table entries of the
appropriate sort are successively returned.
EXAMPLES
?- all_procedures(builtins,P,A,DB).
P = nonvar
A = 1
DB = 0;
P = edit2
A = 1
DB = ’$dbref’(404,21,24,0);
P = see
A = 1
DB = 0;
P = gc
A = 0
DB = 0
yes.


Things you need to know about a Webpage, HTML, and CSS weaving together
What is the difference between Margin, Border, and Padding?
Take for example Google's homepage. What you see right in front of you, the webpage, has 4 parts that make up the whole box of the webpage: margin, border, padding, and content. This is a CSS Box Model and all HTML elements are considered as boxes. CSS box modles wraps around the HTML elements so that these elements don't fly around randomly. The orderly format of the webpage is thanks to the CSS Box Model keeping all of your contents in place.
The content you already know, it is the content of the page. Enough said about that. Margins wrap around the border. Border wraps around the padding and content. Padding wraps around the content.
What are the best practices associated with using classes vs. ids?
Like your classroom, it has a lot of people. Thus naturally, class selectors for programming language is used on several elements. "id" selectors, similar to "I would" in English language has an "I" in there for a single person, so naturally "id" selectors are used for one element. If a certain style is used more than once, we should use classes. If a style is very specific, use id.
What are the differences between relative, absolute, and fixed positioning?
- You have to realize that there is a 4th, which is static positioning and that is the default.
- Relative positioning is misleading because what it actually means is "relative to itself." It would be static if there is no other positioning attributes such as setting top:10px, but if there were other positioning attributes, it would shift down 10px because it is relative to itself.
- Absolute positioning means it has to "absolutely" be at the position you want it to be. However, the only downside is that you may lose flexibility of your site if it's used improperly.
- Fixed positioning would help an element be positioned relative to where you are viewing on the website. For example, if you scroll down, it would scroll down with you.
What does it mean to display inline vs inline blocks?
- Display:Inline Inline just displays within the line and no blocks which means that it ignores the block part, the width and height properties. In addition, since it is "in the line," it will ignore top and bottom margin settings and will adhere to left and right margins + padding settings. It is like a text box that flows after the other. Good to link up text box to text box.
- Display:Inline-Block Inline-block has both the inline and block feature. It is sequential, on their own line with text, but has width and height unlike it's counterpart "inline."


Jeff Goldstein has devised an excellent new euphemism for children. After rejecting little persons and pre-adults and future adults, he lit upon spatiotemporally-challenged proto-adults. I hope to see this accepted as the common usage in all official reports, directives, ukases and commands.
