Tuareg Tifinagh is designed for typing Tifinagh characters in the Tamahaq and Tamashek languages. You can use this keyboard with any Tifinagh Unicode font. We highly recommend the Akatab font at https://software.sil.org/akatab. This font has the required characters and bi-consonant ligatures for these languages.
It is based on the Standard Moroccan Tamazight Tifinagh AZERTY keyboard and Microsoft's Central Atlas Tamazight (Tifinagh Extended) keyboard layout spec. Additional keys include the Tifinagh Consonant Joiner (U+2D7F) to create bi-consonant ligatures. Also included are the Right to Left Override key (U+202E) for right to left writing and POP Directional Formatting key (U+202C) to reverse the right to left writing.


Groovy does not require that all permitted classes should be available in compile-time and compiled along with base class. Compiler will not warn the user on dealing with non-extending permitted subclass, but it contradicts the nature of sealed classes.
Example:
class A permits B {} // reports B
class B {}


Wildcard records allow DNS to function in a very similar fashion to LLMNR/NBNS spoofing. Once you create a wildcard record, the DNS server will use the record to answer name requests that do not explicitly match records contained in the zone. Unlike LLMNR/NBNS, requests for fully qualified names matching a zone are also resolved.
With dynamic updates, my wildcard record injection efforts were prevented by limitations within dynamic updates itself. Dynamic updates, at least the Windows implementation, just doesn’t seem to process the ‘*’ character correctly.
LDAP however, does not have the same problem.

SOA Serial Number
Another consideration when working with ADIDNS zones is the potential presence of integrated DNS servers on the network. If a server is hosting a secondary zone, the serial number is used to determine if a change has occurred. Luckily, this number can be incremented when adding a DNS node through LDAP. The incremented serial number needs to be included in the node’s dnsRecord array to ensure that the record is copied to the server hosting the secondary zone. The zone’s SOA serial number will be the highest serial number listed in any node’s dnsRecord attribute. Care should be taken to only increment the SOA serial number by one so that a zone’s serial number isn’t unnecessarily increased by a large amount. I have created a PowerShell function called New-SOASerialNumberArray that simplifies the process.
PS C:\Users\kevin\Desktop\Powermad> New-SOASerialNumberArray

The SOA serial number can also be obtained through nslookup.

retry = 600 (10 mins)
expire = 86400 (1 day)
default TTL = 3600 (1 hour)
inveigh-dc1.inveigh.net internet address = <IP_ADDRESS>
The gathered serial number can be fed directly to New-SOASerialNumberArray. In this scenario, New-SOASerialNumberArray will skip connecting to a DNS server and instead it will use the specified serial number.


Interview: Beijing should respect human rights of Tibetans and democracy in Hong Kong, says exiled leader Lobsang Sangay
by Guest ContributorDr Lobsang Sangay, President of the Tibetan government-in-exile, sat down with Shri Ram Shaw last month to discuss the Dalai Lama’s reincarnation, Hong Kong and the human rights challenges in China.
How do you view Beijing’s current treatment of the Tibet issue?
[I]t has failed, because the policy that they use is repression, assimilation, discrimination and marginalisation. So, if you do that then it will not help Tibetans gain trust in the system and then follow the system.
For the last 60 years, there have been uninterrupted protests. There has been a clampdown, but the protests have continued for the last six decades. That shows that Tibetans are not happy with the present Chinese Communist system.
In May, US Ambassador to China Terry Branstad urged China to hold talks with the Dalai Lama, criticising Beijing’s interference in Tibetan Buddhists’ religious freedom. What is your reaction to this proposal?
Yes, His Holiness the Dalai Lama is a very revered person. He wants to have a very moderate, win-win solution based on a middle way approach. But the Chinese government is not listening to the US ambassador and other leaders who keep urging the Chinese leadership to solve the issue of Tibet.
[A]t the moment there is the occupation of Tibet and repression of Tibetans. So what we would say is: end this repression and give genuine autonomy to Tibetans as per the Chinese Constitution. That is the solution.
It has been reported that China wants to control who the next Dalai Lama will be. Are you concerned about Beijing’s reach into Buddhist communities?
India is also a land of Buddhism. But, in reality, the Chinese communist government has taken over the lead on the Buddhists long ago. If you look at all the neighbouring Buddhist countries, and Buddhist communities, Buddhist leaders, many of them align more with Communist China than with India.
They have been working for the last two decades to win the soft power of Buddhism. So, they are way ahead of India and they want to change through that the Buddhist leadership and the image of His Holiness Dalai Lama.
They will not succeed in changing his image because he is well known around the world. But, on Buddhism – the soft power, they are already at the forefront.
The Dalai Lama himself has made it quite clear that the decision about his reincarnation solely lies on him. Who will decide on a successor to the Dalai Lama after his eventual death?
I think this one we have to clarify. It’s not His Holiness. His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said that it is for the Tibetan people to decide. And, just recently we had a special General Body meeting of Tibetan Community leaders from 24 countries, around 315 of them came and passed a unanimous resolution saying that we want that incarnation of Tibetan people.
So it is for the Tibetan people to decide, not the Communist Party of China because when you are communist you are atheist… you believe that religion is poison.
And all the Chinese government has done in Tibet is that they have destroyed 98 per cent of Tibetan monasteries and memorials, and 99 per cent of monks and nuns were disrobed and were not allowed to practice Buddhism after the occupation of Tibet.
Still, they are destroying and demolishing a lot of monasteries and memorials. This is their track record. They criticise His Holiness Dalai Lama throughout his life. Now, they say, [they’ll] decide his incarnation. So, it’s illogical. Once you destroy things, once you vilify someone, why do you want incarnation of that person?
If Buddhists won’t accept a Chinese Dalai Lama, can there be two Dalai Lamas?
Buddhists won’t accept a Chinese Dalai Lama mainly because of this reason. For example, Sitaram Yechury is the general secretary of the Communist Party of India. He is a very respectable person. Nice guy. I met him.
But, if he appoints a Shankaracharya [head of a Hindu monastery] and tells the followers that I have appointed this guy as Shankaracharya, now all the Hindu people should follow him. How many people will follow that Shankaracharya? Even though Sitaram Yechury is a nice guy.
But the Communist Party of China… what they have done is destroyed monasteries, demolished memorials. Monks and nuns have committed suicide, they are burning themselves. So much protest is happening.
How will they follow the Dalai Lama appointed by the Chinese government? No chance. They will try to appoint one. But, it’s a fake one, you know… but the fake is the fake.
On September 22, you said in a TV programme that Buddhism came to Tibet from India, but Tibetan democracy is adopted from Indian democracy. What is the road ahead for Tibet in light of Delhi’s ‘Made in India’ economic drive?
India and Tibet are like the head and the body. Literally, we are the head because we are on top of North India and we are also the roof of the world. All the 90-plus highest mountains of the world are in Tibet. Mount Kailash is in Tibet, Mansarovar is in Tibet. Lord Shiva has been taking refuge in Tibet for thousands of years.
So, we are the head and India is the body… physically also. We are the original made in India. Indian people should support the Tibetan cause because we are spiritually connected, geographically connected from Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh,
The Tibetan border is connected with India. And, culturally, we are connected – and even scripture wise… our scriptures are also connected. We are connected in so many ways. Several rivers are also coming to India from Tibet.
The Sutlej river comes from Tibet, Indus comes from Tibet. Brahmaputra river comes from Tibet. We are physically, spiritually and historically connected with India. If Made-in-India is to succeed, the original Made-in-India has to succeed first.
What is your take on China’s treatment of human rights and democracy in Hong Kong?
All people in Hong Kong are asking for their human rights and their democracy which was promised… We are in solidarity with people in Hong Kong because they deserve their democracy, they deserve their human rights.
What is your take on the Jammu and Kashmir conflict – China appears to be siding with Pakistan.
We don’t comment on the internal affairs of India. At the same time, we don’t support what China is doing in Hong Kong. We don’t support that. It’s the double standard for the Chinese government.
What they are doing in Tibet, what they are doing in Hong Kong – and still they are supporting Pakistan. That’s the double standard.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama calls himself “a son of India.” Indian supporters for a free Tibet have urged the Central government in New Delhi to confer Bharat Ratna – the country’s highest civilian honour – on the Dalai Lama for his contributions in creating goodwill for India in the last six decades. Do you support the idea?
His Holiness Dalai Lama has been honoured with all the major awards across the globe – Nobel Peace Prize, the Templeton Prize on religious harmony, the United Nations award on environmental issues and so many reputed universities have also awarded him degrees including Harvard where he studied.
So India has to think whether this Son of India deserves the award or not. I think he is not just a Son of India, he is a great Son of India. Maybe perhaps he is one of the best sons of India who carries the message of Indian Nalanda tradition around the world.
The Dalai Lama singlehandedly makes India look very good, spreading the wisdom of Nalanda University [established to emulate the revered Nalanda Buddhist monastery] around the world. He has been the best messenger on that.
So Indian people should think when the whole world has given him so many awards, why not India? But, it is for the Indian people and the government to decide. And, as an Administration we don’t demand [it]. We can only create awareness.
Do you think in our lifetime will we be able to see a free, fearless, autonomous and sovereign Tibet?
Yes, why not? One should always remain hopeful. Life without hope is often useless. One should always remain hopeful. I’m hopeful, and definitely, during my lifetime we will see an autonomous Tibet with basic human rights for Tibetan people.
The Tibetan population is only half a percent of the China population… [and] the Communist Party of China is the largest political party in the world. I think, China has the largest military in the world. But, they are afraid of one man – the Dalai Lama. That’s the power of truth.
What is your message to Tibetans?
Be strong. Be proud of what we are. If you look at our history – there have been great kings, great dynasties, great empires. The most ancient and rich tradition of Nalanda University is kept in the Tibetan language and no other language – including in India or any Buddhist country.
If you look at our history, what we have achieved, we are a great civilisation and a great people. We should be proud of ourselves and we shall succeed.
We believe that Chinese President Xi Jinping should often come to India… He should have a good relationship with India. China says that Tibet is one of their core issues. India should also recognise Tibet as one of their core issues, because from Kashmir to Arunachal Pradesh [we have] the Tibetan border with India.
[T]he Indian government should take the initiative to resolve the issue of Tibet peacefully with the Chinese government.

3 pm weekday after hours of redundant scanning and absorbing myself with damiana tea (6 cups water - half cup damiana) with hot chocolate and soymilk...
I made up a 2 cup batch (heaping) of the chopped still soft root with 6 cups of water, steeped in a tea maker, steeped repeatedly with green tea until the 'tea' was a deep amber color and very robust in scent. (think I may have ran it through the maker 6 times.) Then let it set to 'tighten' a bit.
I poured a 8 oz glass and sat outside on the balcony to chill out. As I drank it I did my usual chores (enjoying the first really warm day of the season) watering the plants, checking the lights, sweeping the chicadee dropping into a dust pan and trashing it. I didn't notice much until I sat back down to catch my breath.
I felt a tad bit like someone was nudging me and like the balcony was leaning a little. Like a pleasent vertigo. I enjoyed it cautiously while I sat to clean up my water fountain of the same chickadee treats they left behind for me all over the balcony. I felt a wee bit happy, it seems now I realize I had a smile stuck on my face the whole time and the sun was warmer than usual on my skin.
 As I was doing this it felt like the carpet was thicker and spongier than normal. Not unpleasant. Seemed brighter than usual in the apartment also. No audio hallucinations, just very mild 'enclosed, cushiony feeling blanketing me and this comfy vertigo imitation.
I repeated my prior steps on the balcony. I noted I had to urinate more and the heartburnish feeling I had from drinking way too much damiana had settled down considerably. I lost track of time but by checking quickly only one and a half hours had passed. (to me I figured it was 6 oclock already)
The vertigo increased now like swaying, water like swaying. Still not unpleasent, calling it vertigo is almost unfair. Soon as I proceeded to go to urinate again (I enjoyed the urinations, it felt very full, clean and completed) I didn't even feel bloated anymore from all the moisture I had consumed earlier. No queasiness, no anything stomach wise. Rather appealing that I didn't feel my guts at all. I also include that it felt like I was walking in tide pools, gentle, soft, pillowy. Everything swayed a little. I had to soon prepare a meal, chores were effortless and everything had halos around it, very nice. Smells were strong, my sense of hearing peaked a tad, nothing incredible though. Peripheral vision was interesting. Thinking I was seeing things in my side views but it was just nothing of course. Visual echoes remained longer than normal. (looking at something bright and the image hanging in my vision a while longer than before my consumption of the root).
As I got dinner ready I was chippier than usual, more talkative, goofier, thoughts seemed cleaner, less effort prone to think of 'cognitive explatives' when I made remarks. Seems my dictionary was open in my head and the words came easier.
I felt a clarity also.
The flavor of food had changed, intersting most times, unpleasant with others like chocolate and water had a weird tangy aftertaste. (tart with a hanging zing to it. Like watered down poprocks that still go off in your mouth)
I will do this again of course. Making note I'm on hypertensive medications (about 6 of them). i.e.: clonidine, metropolol, norvasc, hydralazine, (lipitor for cholesterol) and a nitrolgycler patch (topical).
No hangovers, no heart rate changes, no weak feeling in the chest like I got from kratom as it wore off. (from the same process as a tea, mild starter experiment).
I've chewed calamus and got no real results, only because the 'strong bitter mint' flavor and acidic juice kinda gave my belly a run for its money. Smoking it was too much for the throat and letting it dry more to turn it into a powder seemed like making it weaker and less desirable. Next time I'll do exact measurements for accuracy in reports.

MCMC Sampling¶
The CmdStanModel class method sample
invokes Stan’s adaptive HMC-NUTS
sampler which uses the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm
and its adaptive variant the no-U-turn sampler (NUTS) to produce a set of
draws from the posterior distribution of the model parameters conditioned on the data.
In order to evaluate the fit of the model to the data, it is necessary to run
several Monte Carlo chains and compare the set of draws returned by each.
By default, the sample
command runs 4 sampler chains, i.e.,
CmdStanPy invokes CmdStan 4 times.
CmdStanPy uses Python’s subprocess
and multiprocessing
libraries
to run these chains in separate processes.
This processing can be done in parallel, up to the number of
processor cores available.
NUTS-HMC sampler configuration¶
chains
: Number of sampler chains.parallel_chains
: Number of processes to run in parallel.threads_per_chains
: The number of threads to use in parallelized sections within an MCMC chainchain_ids
: The offset or list of per-chain offsets for the random number generator.iter_warmup
: Number of warmup iterations for each chain.iter_sampling
: Number of draws from the posterior for each chain.save_warmup
: WhenTrue
, sampler saves warmup draws as part of output csv file.thin
: Period between saved samples (draws). Default is 1, i.e., save all iterations.max_treedepth
: Maximum depth of trees evaluated by NUTS sampler per iteration.metric
: Specification of the mass matrix.step_size
: Initial step size for HMC sampler.adapt_engaged
: WhenTrue
, tune stepsize and metric during warmup. The default isTrue
.adapt_delta
: Adaptation target Metropolis acceptance rate. The default value is 0.8. Increasing this value, which must be strictly less than 1, causes adaptation to use smaller step sizes. It improves the effective sample size, but may increase the time per iteration.adapt_init_phase
: Iterations for initial phase of adaptation during which step size is adjusted so that the chain converges towards the typical set.adapt_metric_window
: The second phase of adaptation tunes the metric and stepsize in a series of intervals. This parameter specifies the number of iterations used for the first tuning interval; window size increases for each subsequent interval.adapt_step_size
: Number of iterations given over to adjusting the step size given the tuned metric during the final phase of adaptation.fixed_param
: WhenTrue
, call CmdStan with argument “algorithm=fixed_param”.
data
: Values for all data variables in the model, specified either as a dictionary with entries matching the data variables, or as the path of a data file in JSON or Rdump format.seed
: The seed for random number generator.inits
: Specifies how the sampler initializes parameter values.output_dir
: Name of the directory to which CmdStan output files are written.save_diagnostics
: Whether or not to the CmdStan auxiliary output file. For thesample
method, the diagnostics file contains sampler information for each draw together with the gradients on the unconstrained scale and log probabilities for all parameters in the model.
All of these arguments are optional; when unspecified, the CmdStan defaults will be used.
See sample()
for more details about the parameters.
CmdStanMCMC: HMC sample and metadata¶
The CmdStanModel class method sample
returns a CmdStanMCMC object
which provides properties and methods to access and manage the sample; these fall into the following
following functional categories:
Get sample contents
draws
- The numpy.ndarray which contains all across all chains. By default, returns a 3D array (draws, chains, columns); the argumentconcat_chains
returns a 2D array which flattens the chains into a single set of draws.stan_variable(name=var_name)
- Returns a numpy.ndarray which contains the set of draws in the sample for the named Stan program variable.stan_variables()
- Returns a Python dict, key: Stan program variable name, value: numpy.ndarray of draws.sampler_variables()
- Returns a a Python dict, key: sampler variable name, value: numpy.ndarray of draws.metric
- List of per-chain metric values, metric is either a vector (‘diag_e’) or matrix (‘dense_e’)stepsize
- List of per-chain step sizes.
Get sample metadata
column_names
- List of column labels for one draw from the sampler.sampler_vars_cols
- Python dict, key: sampler parameter name, value: tuple of output column indices.stan_vars_cols
- Python dict, key: Stan program variable name, value: tuple of output column indices.stan_vars_dims
- Python dict, key: Stan program variable name, value: tuple of dimensions, or empty tuple, for scalar variables.cmdstan_config
- Python dict, key: CmdStan argument name, value: value used for this sampler run, whether user-specified or CmdStan default.chains
- Number of chainsthin
- Period between recorded iterations.num_draws_sampling
- Number of sampling (post-warmup) draws per chain, i.e., sampling iterations, thinned.num_draws_warmup
- Number of warmup draws per chain, i.e., thinned warmup iterations.metric_type
- Metric type used for adaptation, eitherdiag_e
ordense_e
, orNone
, if the Stan program doesn’t have any parameters.num_unconstrained_params
- Count of unconstrained model parameters. For metricdiag_e
, this is the length of the diagonal vector and for metricdense_e
this is the size of the full covariance matrix.
Summarize and diagnose the fit
summary()
- Run CmdStan’s stansummary utility on the sample.diagnose()
- Run CmdStan’s diagnose utility on the sample.
Save the Stan CSV output files
save_csvfiles(dir_name)
- Move output Stan CSV files to specified directory.
Note that the terms iterations and draws are not synonymous.
The HMC sampler is configured to run a specified number of iterations.
By default, at the end of each iteration, the values of all sampler
and parameter variables are written to the Stan CSV output file.
Each reported set of estimates constitutes one row’s worth of data,
each row of data is called a “draw”.
The sampler argument thin
controls the rate at which iterations are
recorded as draws. By default, thin
is 1, so every
iteration is recorded. Increasing the thinning rate will reduce the
frequency with which the iterations are recorded, e.g., thin = 5
will record every 5th iteration.
By default the sampler runs 4 chains, running as many chains in parallel as there
are available processors as determined by Python’s multiprocessing.cpu_count()
function.
For example, on a dual-processor machine with 4 virtual cores, all 4 chains will be run in parallel.
Continuing this example, specifying chains=6
will result in 4 chains being run in parallel,
and as soon as 2 of them are finished, the remaining 2 chains will run.
Specifying chains=6, parallel_chains=6
will run all 6 chains in parallel.
Example: fit model - sampler defaults¶
In this example we use the CmdStan example model bernoulli.stan and data file bernoulli.data.json.
import os
from cmdstanpy import cmdstan_path, CmdStanModel
bernoulli_stan = os.path.join(cmdstan_path(), 'examples', 'bernoulli', 'bernoulli.stan')
bernoulli_data = os.path.join(cmdstan_path(), 'examples', 'bernoulli', 'bernoulli.data.json')
# instantiate, compile bernoulli model
bernoulli_model = CmdStanModel(stan_file=bernoulli_stan)
# run the NUTS-HMC sampler
bern_fit = bernoulli_model.sample(data=bernoulli_data)
# summarize the fit
bern_fit.summary()
# instantiate, inspect the sample
bern_fit.draws.shape
bern_fit.draws.column_names
sampler_variables = bern_fit.sampler_vars_cols
stan_variables = bern_fit.stan_vars_cols
print('Sampler variables:\n{}'.format(sampler_variables))
print('Stan variables:\n{}'.format(stan_variables))
# get parameter variable estimates
draws_theta = bern_fit.stan_variable(name='theta')
draws_theta.shape
Example: high-level parallelization with reduce_sum¶
Stan provides high-level parallelization via multi-threading by use of the reduce_sum and map_rect functions in a Stan program. To use this feature, a Stan program must be compiled with the C++ compiler flag STAN_THREADS as described in the Model compilation section.
proc_parallel_model = CmdStanModel(
stan_file='proc_parallel.stan',
cpp_options={"STAN_THREADS": True}),
)
When running the sampler with this model, you must explicitly specify the number
of threads to use via sample
method argument threads_per_chain.
For example, to run 4 chains multi-threaded using 4 threads per chain:
proc_parallel_fit = proc_parallel_model.sample(data=proc_data,
chains=4, threads_per_chain=4)
By default, the number of parallel chains will be equal to the number of available cores on your machine, which may adversely affect overall performance. For example, on a machine with Intel’s dual processor hardware, i.e, 4 virtual cores, the above configuration will use 16 threads. To limit this, specify the parallel_chains option so that the maximum number of threads used will be parallel_chains X threads_per_chain
proc_parallel_fit = proc_parallel_model.sample(data=proc_data,
chains=4, parallel_chains=1, threads_per_chain=4)
Example: generate data - fixed_param=True¶
The Stan programming language can be used to write Stan programs which generate simulated data for a set of known parameter values by calling Stan’s RNG functions. Such programs don’t need to declare parameters or model blocks because all computation is done in the generated quantities block.
For example, the Stan program bernoulli.stan can be used to generate a dataset of simulated data, where each row in the dataset consists of N draws from a Bernoulli distribution given probability theta:
transformed data {
int<lower=0> N = 10;
real<lower=0,upper=1> theta = 0.35;
}
generated quantities {
int y_sim[N];
for (n in 1:N)
y_sim[n] = bernoulli_rng(theta);
}
This program doesn’t contain parameters or a model block, therefore
we run the sampler without ding any MCMC estimation by
specifying fixed_param=True
.
When fixed_param=True
, the sample
method only runs 1 chain.
The sampler runs without updating the Markov Chain,
thus the values of all parameters and
transformed parameters are constant across all draws and
only those values in the generated quantities block that are
produced by RNG functions may change.
import os
from cmdstanpy import CmdStanModel
datagen_stan = os.path.join('..', '..', 'test', 'data', 'bernoulli_datagen.stan')
datagen_model = CmdStanModel(stan_file=datagen_stan)
sim_data = datagen_model.sample(fixed_param=True)
sim_data.summary()
Each draw contains variable y_sim, a vector of N binary outcomes. From this, we can compute the probability of new data given an estimate of parameter theta - the chance of success of a single Bernoulli trial. By plotting the histogram of the distribution of total number of successes in N trials shows the posterior predictive distribution of theta.
# extract int array `y_sim` from the sampler output
y_sims = sim_data.stan_variable(name='y_sim')
y_sims.shape
# each draw has 10 replicates of estimated parameter 'theta'
y_sums = y_sims.sum(axis=1)
# plot total number of successes per draw
import pandas as pd
y_sums_pd = pd.DataFrame(data=y_sums)
y_sums_pd.plot.hist(range(0,datagen_data['N']+1))

For most applications, detecting the user's preferred language in main() and loading the appropriate .qm files there is perfectly satisfactory. But there are some situations where users might need the ability to switch languages dynamically. An application that is used continuously by different people in shifts may need to change languages without having to be restarted. For example, applications used by call center operators, by simultaneous translators, and by computerized cash register operators often require this capability.
Making an application able to switch languages dynamically requires a little more work than loading a single translation at startup, but it is not difficult. Here is what must be done:
For every widget or dialog, set all of its translatable strings in a separate function (often called retranslateUi()) and call this function when the language changes.
Let's review the relevant parts of a "call center" application's source code. The application provides a Language menu (shown in Figure 18.1), to allow the user to set the language at run-time. The default language is English.
Since we don't know which language the user will want to use when the application is started, we no longer load translations in the main() function. Instead, we will load them dynamically when they are needed, so all the code that we need to handle translations must go in the main window and dialog classes.
Let's have a look at the application's QMainWindow subclass.
MainWindow::MainWindow() { journalView = new JournalView; setCentralWidget(journalView); qApp->installTranslator(&appTranslator); qApp->installTranslator(&qtTranslator); createActions(); createMenus(); retranslateUi(); }
In the constructor, we set the central widget to be a JournalView, a QTableWidget subclass. Then we install two QTranslator objects on the QApplication: The appTranslator object stores the current application's translation, and the qtTranslator object stores Qt's translation. At the end, we call the createActions() and createMenus() private functions to create the menu system, and we call retranslateUi() (also a private function) to set the user-visible strings for the first time.
void MainWindow::createActions() { newAction = new QAction(this); newAction->setShortcut(QKeySequence::New); connect(newAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(newFile())); ... exitAction = new QAction(this); connect(exitAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(close())); ... aboutQtAction = new QAction(this); connect(aboutQtAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), qApp, SLOT(aboutQt())); }
The createActions() function creates the QAction objects as usual, but without setting any of the texts. These will be done in retranslateUi(). For actions that have standardized shortcuts, we can set the shortcut here using the appropriate enum, and rely on Qt to translate as necessary. For actions that have custom shortcuts, such as the Exit action, we set the shortcut in the retranslateUi() function, along with the text.
void MainWindow::createMenus() { fileMenu = new QMenu(this); fileMenu->addAction(newAction); fileMenu->addAction(openAction); fileMenu->addAction(saveAction); fileMenu->addAction(exitAction); editMenu = new QMenu(this); ... createLanguageMenu(); helpMenu = new QMenu(this); helpMenu->addAction(aboutAction); helpMenu->addAction(aboutQtAction); menuBar()->addMenu(fileMenu); menuBar()->addMenu(editMenu); menuBar()->addMenu(reportsMenu); menuBar()->addMenu(languageMenu); menuBar()->addMenu(helpMenu); }
The createMenus() function creates menus, but does not give them any titles. Again, this will be done in retranslateUi().
In the middle of the function, we call createLanguageMenu() to fill the Language menu with the list of supported languages. We will review its source code in a moment. First, let's look at retranslateUi():
void MainWindow::retranslateUi() { newAction->setText(tr("&New")); newAction->setStatusTip(tr("Create a new journal")); ... exitAction->setText(tr("E&xit")); exitAction->setShortcut(tr("Ctrl+Q")); ... aboutQtAction->setText(tr("About &Qt")); aboutQtAction->setStatusTip(tr("Show the Qt library's About box")); fileMenu->setTitle(tr("&File")); editMenu->setTitle(tr("&Edit")); reportsMenu->setTitle(tr("&Reports")); languageMenu->setTitle(tr("&Language")); helpMenu->setTitle(tr("&Help")); setWindowTitle(tr("Call Center")); }
The retranslateUi() function is where all the tr() calls for the MainWindow class occur. It is called at the end of the MainWindow constructor and every time a user changes the application's language using the Language menu.
We set each QAction's text and status tip, and the shortcuts for those actions that have non-standardized shortcuts. We also set each QMenu's title, as well as the window title.
The createMenus() function presented earlier called createLanguageMenu() to populate the Language menu with a list of languages:
void MainWindow::createLanguageMenu() { languageMenu = new QMenu(this); languageActionGroup = new QActionGroup(this); connect(languageActionGroup, SIGNAL(triggered(QAction *)), this, SLOT(switchLanguage(QAction *))); QDir qmDir = directoryOf("translations"); QStringList fileNames = qmDir.entryList(QStringList("callcenter_*.qm")); for (int i = 0; i < fileNames.size(); ++i) { QString locale = fileNames[i]; locale.remove(0, locale.indexOf('_') + 1); locale.chop(3); QTranslator translator; translator.load(fileNames[i], qmDir.absolutePath()); QString language = translator.translate("MainWindow", "English"); QAction *action = new QAction(tr("&%1 %2") .arg(i + 1).arg(language), this); action->setCheckable(true); action->setData(locale); languageMenu->addAction(action); languageActionGroup->addAction(action); if (language == "English") action->setChecked(true); } }
Instead of hard-coding the languages supported by the application, we create one menu entry for each .qm file located in the application's translations directory. The directoryOf() function is the same as the one we used in Chapter 17 (p. 410).
For simplicity, we assume that English also has a .qm file. An alternative would have been to call clear() on the QTranslator objects when the user chooses English.
One particular difficulty is to present a nice name for the language provided by each .qm file. Just showing "en" for "English" or "de" for "Deutsch", based on the name of the .qm file, looks crude and will confuse some users. The solution used in createLanguageMenu() is to check the translation of the string "English" in the "MainWindow" context. That string should be translated to "Deutsch" in a German translation, to "Français" in a French translation, and to "" in a Japanese translation.
We create one checkable QAction for each language and store the locale name in the action's "data" item. We add them to a QActionGroup object to ensure that only one Language menu item is checked at a time. When the user chooses an action from the group, the QActionGroup emits the triggered(QAction *) signal, which is connected to switchLanguage().
void MainWindow::switchLanguage(QAction *action) { QString locale = action->data().toString(); QString qmPath = directoryOf("translations").absolutePath(); appTranslator.load("callcenter_" + locale, qmPath); qtTranslator.load("qt_" + locale, qmPath); retranslateUi(); }
The switchLanguage() slot is called when the user chooses a language from the Language menu. We load the relevant translation files for the application and for Qt, and we call retranslateUi() to retranslate all the strings for the main window.
On Windows, an alternative to providing a Language menu is to respond to LocaleChange events, a type of event emitted by Qt when it detects a change in the environment's locale. The event type exists on all platforms supported by Qt, but is only actually generated on Windows, when the user changes the system's locale settings (in the Control Panel's Regional and Language Options section). To handle LocaleChange events, we can reimplement QWidget::changeEvent() as follows:
void MainWindow::changeEvent(QEvent *event) { if (event->type() == QEvent::LocaleChange) { QString qmPath = directoryOf("translations").absolutePath(); appTranslator.load("callcenter_" + QLocale::system().name(), qmPath); qtTranslator.load("qt_" + QLocale::system().name(), qmPath); retranslateUi(); } QMainWindow::changeEvent(event); }
If the user switches locale while the application is being run, we attempt to load the correct translation files for the new locale and call retranslateUi() to update the user interface. In all cases, we pass the event to the base class's changeEvent() function, since the base class may also be interested in LocaleChange or other change events.
We have now finished our review of the MainWindow code. Next we will look at the code for one of the application's widget classes, the JournalView class, to see what changes are needed to make it support dynamic translation.
JournalView::JournalView(QWidget *parent) : QTableWidget(parent) { ... retranslateUi(); }
The JournalView class is a QTableWidget subclass. At the end of the constructor, we call the private function retranslateUi() to set the widget's strings. This is similar to what we did for MainWindow.
void JournalView::changeEvent(QEvent *event) { if (event->type() == QEvent::LanguageChange) retranslateUi(); QTableWidget::changeEvent(event); }
We also reimplement the changeEvent() function to call retranslateUi() on LanguageChange events. Qt generates a LanguageChange event when the contents of a QTranslator currently installed on QCoreApplication changes. In our application, this occurs when we call load() on appTranslator or qtTranslator, either from MainWindow::switchLanguage() or from MainWindow::changeEvent().
LanguageChange events should not be confused with LocaleChange events. LocaleChange events are generated by the system and tell the application, "Maybe you should load a new translation." LanguageChange events are generated by Qt and tell the application's widgets, "Maybe you should retranslate all your strings."
When we implemented MainWindow, we didn't need to respond to LanguageChange. Instead, we simply called retranslateUi() whenever we called load() on a QTranslator.
void JournalView::retranslateUi() { QStringList labels; labels << tr("Time") << tr("Priority") << tr("Phone Number") << tr("Subject"); setHorizontalHeaderLabels(labels); }
The retranslateUi() function updates the column headers with newly translated texts, completing the translation-related code of a hand-written widget. For widgets and dialogs developed with Qt Designer, the uic tool automatically generates a function similar to our retranslateUi() function that is automatically called in response to LanguageChange events.

ActiveView allows for the creation of complex, stateful views. ActiveView requires a paradigm shift in view programming away from ERB/PHP/ASP, but will result in significantly more compartmentalized and reusable code. The basic flow of a view goes like this:
Use ActiveView.create() to create a new class. The first parameter to the class creator is a function in which all of your view logic is, declared, followed by an option second paramter of instance methods the view will have.
var MyView = ActiveView.create(function(){
//DOM creation code (Builder)
//data binding code (Binding)
//Ajax / DOM event observation code (Prototype, jQuery, etc)
},{instance_methods});
The only requirement of the main function is that it return a DOM node. MyView is now a constructor which can be called with a scope / hash. Data that is passed into the view can be retrieved with get() and set(). Once initialized, the DOM node returned by the main function will be available in the "container" property. The convenience method "attachTo" will attach the container to a given Element.
var MyView = ActiveView.create(function(){
return this.builder.h2(this.get('title'));
},{instance_methods});
var instance = new MyView({title: 'The Title'});
document.body.appendChild(instance.container);
//or
instance.attachTo(document.body);
The scope property (accessed with get() / set()) is an ObservableHash, so you can observe changes in the view data like so:
instance.scope.observe('set',function(key,value){});
The builder object in each template contains a collection of methods for each standard HTML tag name, b(), span(), h1(), etc. All of these methods are also available statically as ActiveView.Builder.tagName anywhere in your application.
Each method returns a DOM node type corresponding to it's name.
var MyView = ActiveView.create(function(){
return this.builder.div();
});
Each method can accept a variable number of arguments including other DOM nodes or an array of DOM nodes.
var MyView = ActiveView.create(function(){
var container = this.builder.div(
this.builder.span('Some text.')
);
return container;
});
You can use the "with" construct to eliminate the need to call tyhis.builder. The "with" construct has some side effects (var label = div() would overwrite the label() method globally for instance) that may be difficult to debug, but when used carefully it can make for more readable code.
var MyView = ActiveView.create(function(){
with(this.builder){
var container = div(span('Some text.'));
}
return container;
});
Builder methods can also accept a hash of attributes, text nodes, or functions that return text or DOM nodes, in any order. If a Builder method requires no parameters (hr, br, etc) you can declare it without parenthesis.
Note that you can assign DOM nodes to local variables or properties of "this" inline (a language feature, not a library feature). This technique comes in handy when you want to attach behaviors to your elements without having to query for them.
var MyView = ActiveView.create(function(){
with(this.builder){
this.myDiv = div(
ul(
li({className: 'first'},'List Item One'),
li('List Item Two'),
li(
b(span('List item Three')),
'Extra Text',
{className:'third'}
),
li(function(){
return 'List Item Four';
})
),
br,
this.secondList = ul([
li('List Item One'),
li('List Item Two')
])
);
}
return this.myDiv;
});
Lastly, you can embed other views inside any builder node. You can either initialize a view, or just pass the class. If only the class is passed, the instance of the class that is created will inherit the scope of the current view.
var MyView = ActiveView.create(function(){
with(this.builder){
var container = div({className: 'result_set_container'},
PaginationView,
hr,
new ResultSetView({
result_set: my_result_set
})
);
}
});
By default the DOM nodes generated by Builder will be standard unextended Element objects regardless of the Ajax framework you are using. It is however quite useful to have those nodes automatically be compatible with your framework of choice (although you will take a performance hit).
To enable this feature add this code anywhere in your application:
//for Prototype
ActiveView.Builder.extendCreatedElement = function extendCreatedElement(element){
return Element.extend(element);
};
//for jQuery
ActiveView.Builder.extendCreatedElement = function extendCreatedElement(element){
return jQuery(element);
};
//alternates for above, and most other frameworks
ActiveView.Builder.extendCreatedElement = function extendCreatedElement(element){
return $(element);
};
Once enabled this allows you to do your typical Ajax framework programming right in your view. Notice that because you already have access to those objects as DOM elements that you do not need to query for them or worry if or when they become attached to the document.
with(this.builder){
var container = div(
this.linkOne = a({href: '#'},'Link One'),
this.linkTwo = a({href: '#'},'Link Two')
);
}
this.linkOne.observe('click',function(){});
this.linkTwo.hide();
Each view instance has a data scope associated with it which can be accessed with the get() and set() methods. In a stateless (server) enviornment data bindings are not needed, one can simply insert data directly into the DOM.
var MyView = ActiveView.create(function(){
return this.builder.h2(this.get('title'));
});
However in a stateful (client side) enviornment it is often useful to automatically update the DOM as data in the view changes. Apple has a useful article about Cocoa data bindings that explains the concept very well. ActiveView data bindings are vastly simpler and offer fewer features, but provide the same general functionality.
There are three core "sentence" structures that are used to create your bindings:
These are accessed from the "binding" property of any view.
The first construct, update(element).from(key) will set the innerHTML property of the specified element to the value of the specificed key whenever the value of the key changes.
The second construct is a generic way of observing when a key changes. When "key" changes, the callback function will be called with the new value.
var MyView = ActiveView.create(function(){
var container = this.builder.h2();
with(this.binding){
update(container).from('title');
when('title').changes(function(title){
console.log('title was changed to:',title);
});
}
return container;
});
var instance = new MyView({title: 'The Title'});
//instance.container ==
The Title

instance.set('title','New Title');
//instance.container ==
New Title

The third construct is the data binding equivelent of a loop. It will iterate over a given array, render a new view with each item in that array, collecting the resulting DOM nodes and inserting it into the given container. If the array is modified with pop(), push(), shift(), unshift() or splice() the resulting DOM nodes will be inserted, updated or removed.
var ListView = ActiveView.create(function(){
var container = this.builder.ul();
with(this.binding){
collect(ListItemView).from('items').into(container);
}
return container;
});
var ListItemView = ActiveView.create(function(){
var container = this.builder.li();
with(this.binding){
update(container).from('body');
}
return container;
});
var items = [
{body: 'one'},
{body: 'two'},
{body: 'three'}
];
var instance = new ListView(items);
//instance.container ==

one

two

three

items.pop();
//instance.container ==

one

two

Data bindings can be programmed and triggered directly as described above but significant integration is built right into ActiveRecord. Each ActiveRecord instance has a synchronize() method that will trigger the individual key data bindings (when() and update())
var Article = ActiveRecord.create({
title: '',
body: ''
});
var article_one = Article.create({
title: 'First Title',
body: 'First Body'
});
article_one.synchronize();
var ArticleView = ActiveView.create(function(){
with(this.builder){
var container = div(
this.titleContainer = h2(),
this.bodyContainer = p()
);
}
with(this.binding){
update(this.titleContainer).from('title');
update(this.bodyContainer).from('body');
}
return container;
});
var article_one_view = new ArticleView(article_one);
//article_one_view.container ==

First Title

First Body

article_one.set('title','New Title');
article_one.save();
//article_one_view.container ==

New Title

First Body

ActiveRecord.ResultSet objects are designed to integrate with the collect() data binding construct. If a result set should change as a result of records matching it's conditions being included or excluded, it will update the DOM accordingly.
var ArticleListView = ActiveView.create(function(){
var container = this.builder.div();
this.binding.collect(ArticleView).from('list').into(container);
return container;
});
var articles = Article.find({
all: true,
synchronize: true
});
var article_list_instance = new ArticleListView({
list: articles
});
//article_list_instance.container ==

New Title...
Article.create({
title: 'Second Title',
body: 'Second Body'
});
//articles.length == 2
//article_list_instance.container ==

New Title...
Second Title...
Because the query matched all records, and the newly created article would fall within that result set, the result set was automatically updated (a result of the synchronize parameter) and the DOM was automatically udpated to match this (a result of our collect() data binding call).
Original implementation by John Resig
ActiveView.Template provides a string based templating approach that is similar to ERB, ASP or PHP.
var template_one = new ActiveView.Template('
<%= title %>
');
template_one.render({title: 'The Title'});
//
The Title

Each template class can accept a hash of helper functions as the second argument. To add helpers to all ActiveView.Template classes, you can add properties to ActiveView.Template.Helpers.
var template_two = new ActiveView.Template('
<%= i(title) %>
',{
i: function(text){
return '' + text + '';
}
});
template_two.render({title: 'The Title'});
//
The Title

You can embed JavaScript with logic (loops, conditions, etc) within your template source. John Resig points out that you can place the template source code in your page using a script tag with an unknown content type to get the browser to ignore it (but stil have access to it via the DOM).

Then in your code:
var complex_template = new ActiveView.Template($('complex_template_source').innerHTML);

Javascript Hoisting
1 var msg = 'JavaScript is awesome';
2 var fn = function() {
3 console.log(msg);
4 }
5 fn();
Invoking fn()
will log JavaScript is awesome
.
Okay, no surprises.
What about this…
1 var msg = 'JavaScript is awesome';
2 var fn = function() {
3 msg = 'JavaScript is weird';
4 console.log(msg);
5 var msg;
6 }
7 fn();
In this case, it will log JavaScript is weird
.
This is called variable hoisting.
Turns out, in JavaScript, variable and function declarations are hoisted to the top of their containing scope before execution time, with function declarations taking priority over variables. When a function declaration gets hoisted, the entire function body will be hoisted as well. Whereas for variables, only the variable name is hoisted and they are assigned undefined
by the JavaScript interpreter until the actual assignment statement is ran during execution time.
Lets take a look at the following example.
1 var foo = function() {
2 console.log("outside foo");
3 };
4
5 var test = function() {
6 foo();
7 var foo = function() {
8 console.log("inside foo");
9 }
10 };
11 test(); // Error: undefined is not a function
When we invoke test()
, the variable foo
is invisibly hoisted to the top of the local scope and assigned undefined
before execution. We can imagine this taking place before line 6 but after line 5. Therefore, when we invoke foo()
inside the test
scope in line 6, the interpreter throws an error as foo
is not assigned a value until line 7. Notice I refer to foo
as a variable because anything that takes the form var someName;
is considered a variable declaration. In this case, foo
just so happen to be declared and be assgined to a function at the same time in line 7. But of course, with JavaScript hoisting, it gets delcared and assigned undefined
before exeution.
Experiment with this piece of code here.
Here we are declaring foo
as a function instead of a variable.
1 var foo = function() {
2 console.log("outside foo");
3 };
4
5 var test = function() {
6 foo();
7 function foo() {
8 console.log("inside foo");
9 }
10 };
11 test(); // inside foo
JavaScript logs inside foo
in this case because, as mentioned earlier, with function declaration not only does its name gets hoisted, so does its body. Anything that takes the form function funcName() {};
in JavaScript is interpreted as a function declaration and when they get hoisted, their function definition get hoisted too. Experiement with this piece of code here.
With this in mind, it is generally good practice to declare all our variables at the top of each scope to avoid confusions down the road. For more dedicated readings go here.

Okay, this one is definitely not for everyone but if you any of you actually have found a practical use for Twitter for your business or personal life then this one may be just what you are looking for. I actually tried it out and it works great.
Now I am not a big fan of Twitter. I have an account but don't use it much, I follow exactly one other person (actually a group of people) that posts interesting things and resources from a journalistic point of view, not where they are, and what they are eating, or echoing content free crap about Michael Jackson.
I might actually find a use for this plug-in and Twitter. You can get the Twitter for Aperture plug-in here.

MAD DOG TIME A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1996 Scott Renshaw
Grade: D- // Burn the Negative
(United Artists)
Director: Larry Bishop. Screenplay: Larry Bishop. Producer: Judith Rutherford James. Starring: Jeff Goldblum, Richard Dreyfuss, Ellen Barkin, Gabriel Byrne, Larry Bishop, Diane Lane, Kyle MacLachlan.
 Running Time: 95 minutes.
Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
It is a tough call which annoying trend represented by MAD DOG TIME is more annoying. Is it the Cameo-Rama, the insistence upon turning every scene into a celebrity "Where's Waldo?" Or is it the Pulp Affliction, the impression that a film spilling over with kooky, garrulous gangsters must also be spilling over with style points? Writer-director Larry Bishop has a terrible case of both in MAD DOG TIME, a simply awful piece of pseudo-cool tripe which holds the ignominious distinction of being the 1996 heir apparent to THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU'RE DEAD as "Film Most Likely to Make You Wish No Aspiring Director had _Ever_ Seen a Quentin Tarantino Film."
Jeff Goldblum stars as Mickey Holiday, a hired gun with more enemies than he can count.  It seems Vic is likely to be unhappy that Mickey hooked up with Vic's girl Grace (Diane Lane) while he was away, even though Mickey is now involved with Grace's sister Rita (Ellen Barkin). Vic, however, faces problems of his own from rivals who think the time is right to move in on his territory, rivals including Jake (Kyle MacLachlan) and Ben London (Gabriel Byrne). Vic's solution to all his problems is Nick Falco (Larry Bishop), a cool gunman more than capable of dispatching each and every one of Vic's enemies.
Bishop, the son of comic Joey Bishop, clearly wanted to take a contemporary crime caper and mix it with the swingin' sensibility of his dad's old Rat Pack buddies. The soundtrack is spilling over with 40s and 50s standards, including a couple by the Chairman of the Board himself, and everyone walks around in tuxedos (for the gents) or slinky evening dresses (for the dames) radiating smoothness. However, in trying to combine OCEAN'S ELEVEN with RESERVOIR DOGS, Bishop has cranked out a script with so much utterly ridiculous dialogue that you might not even notice that you don't care a thing about anyone or anything in MAD DOG TIME. Gabriel Byrne is the worst offender, trying to make his Irish accent sound like Brooklyn Italian while blathering on about other characters in lines which mistake simple, inane rhymes and alliteration for cleverness. There is an almost hypnotic monotony to the artificial cadence of the speech in MAD DOG TIME; after a while, it begins to sound like it was written by the R-rated evil twin of Dr. Seuss.
With nothing to say and a truly grating way of saying it, Bishop resorts to trotting out cameos of guys who don't seem to belong on the same planet, let alone in the same movie. Billy Idol and Gregory Hines? Joey Bishop and Burt Reynolds? Paul Anka and Richard Pryor (whose appearance seems not only unnecessary, but just plain cruel)? Bishop even goes for obscurity points by bringing in OCEAN'S ELEVEN cast member Henry Silva as a narcoleptic hood, and flash-in-the-pan Christopher Jones of WILD IN THE STREETS as one of Goldblum's challengers. It doesn't matter that none of them has anything to do except show off a skin tone which, whether natural or induced by lighting or makeup, makes many of them look like prime candidates for the George Hamilton Memorial Melanoma Wing of Cedars-Sinai. Even the notoriously bronzed Goldblum looks like a British schoolboy next to the burnt sienna complexion of Anka, Reynolds and Bishop himself.
At times, Bishop seems to be making a desperate attempt to convince the audience that he is aware of the ludicrous excesses in MAD DOG TIME, giving Goldblum a couple of meta-conscious lines which refer to characters, situations or dialogue. There are even a couple of moderately inspired moments, like having Dreyfuss and Reynolds, owners of two of the most distinctive laughs in Hollywood, cackling away as they face each other.  The actors may have had fun playing versions of Frankie, Sammy, Dean and the boys, but that fun isn't likely to be shared by an audience. MAD DOG TIME is a self-indulgent homage masquerading as hipster cinema. Worse yet, it's like THE CANNONBALL RUN with cocktails and shark-skin.

The Big Lebowsi
Summary Mistaken identity spells disaster for The Dude (Jeff Bridges), the laziest man in L.A. County. Two thugs invade his home and assault him, looking for money to pay off his wife's debt. The only problem is The Dude is not married and we learn that although his real name is Jeff Lebowski, it is not the same wealthy Jeff Lebowski who has a wife that owes money to the wrong people. The thugs leave, but not before one of them urinates on The Dude's prized rug. The Dude wants reparations for the loss of his rug. After conferring with his two bowling buddies Walter (John Goodman) and Donny (Steve Buscemi), he decides that since his rug was ruined due to the negligence of Jeff Lebowski's wife Bunny (Tara Reid), he should seek out the Big Lebowski himself (David Huddleston) for restitution. It does not go well, as Mr. Lebowski scolds and berates The Dude as if he were a child caught stealing money from his mother's purse. The Dude's dealings with Lebowski are not finished however as The Dude is hired to be a courier for him. It appears that Bunny Lebowski has been kidnapped and Lebowski needs someone to deliver the ransom to her captors. The Dude accepts and with the help of Walter promptly botches the delivery. Nothing worse could have happened to The Dude as he becomes fully involved in the bizarre situation surrounding Bunny Lebowski including involvement in pornography industry and association with German nihilists. Could the scenario possibly get worse for The Dude? His love interest is the Big Lebowski's daughter Maude (Julianne Moore), who initially assaults him also (she didn't care for his solution for his rug replacement). She is quite a character, as flying around in a harness while naked, spraying paint appears to be her favorite pastime, and her acquaintances would make Marilyn Manson seem like a Boy Scout. The Dude must deal with all of these strange people (his friends included), unusual circumstances and survive countless assaults (some self-inflicted) to uncover the truth to the wacky Lebowski family.
Commentary After the credits rolled for this film I sat in the theater trying to decide whether I actually liked it or not. Two hours later I still could not make up my mind. To call this film "offbeat" would be a tremendous understatement. There are some truly bizarre films that work well (Matthew Bright's 'Freeway' comes to mind), and some films that have some bizarre moments (the Gimp scene in 'Pulp Fiction') that have the same effect. The Big Lebowski falls under the former category and some elements work, some do not. The Coen's definitely have a style all their own. If you were to walk in on this movie and not know what it was, you could pick out it was 'a Coen' in minutes, much like Stanley Kubrick films. The Big Lebowski's high points are definitely vintage Coen: colorful characters, a great ear for dialogue, seemingly unnecessary extra characters (like Marge Gunderson's lunch date in 'Fargo') and funny self-parodies. All of these elements are well done. Jeff Bridges does a wonderful job playing the spaced out Dude, and John Goodman gets the great role of the psychopathic Vietnam war veteran on the verge of a killing spree. This film is funny and has some nice comic subtleties, like when the Dude goes to the Supermarket just to buy cream and pays for it with a check. What I did not like was the fact that this movie is far too strange. I enjoy offbeat films more than the average movie fan, but this was ridiculous. It tries too hard. What was the point in having the Maude character introduced with that silly harness? What was with those strange dream sequences? I usually dislike dream sequences because it gives the director free reign to do whatever they please without explanation. The only normal character may be Donny, if only Walter would actually let him speak. It would have been nearly impossible for the Coens' to duplicate the success of 'Fargo', but this film is a slight disappointment nevertheless. However, I will still marginally recommend the film because it does have its' moments, and it is unfair to hold it up to 'Fargo' standards.

Just knowing about neuroplasticity can motivate people and broaden their visions of themselves because it opens up a world of possibility. When you understand it and know how to apply it to your life you believe that you can achieve something no matter how slow you are going or how bad you were to begin with. The basic message of neuroplasticity is that if you don't use your brain then you will lose it, meaning learning new things and taking up new challenges keeps your brain healthy and growing while staying inside your comfort zone can make your brain “rusty” in a sense.
In terms of myself, I would put all the below practises into play each day or week. But in relation to becoming a better developer, i would make sure i code each and every day even if it’s just a little bit so that i can grow my brain over time and prevent myself from getting rusty. In order to improve my neuroplasticity It’s better that I do a little each day instead of lots each week with a few days break in between.
it can improve co-ordination, memory, focus, hearing and sight.
seeing new scenes gives our brain more info and a wider vision plus creativity.
can help with co-ordination.
Great for creativity especially.
In order to grow as a person we need to have wider visions of ourselves. If we have fixed mindsets, we can only achieve what comes easy to us, but if we have a growth mindset we can achieve anything we put our minds to regardless of how tough it may be at first. However, it is important the way in which we learn and what we learn because if we are not enjoying it or what we are learning then our motivation to keep going, and happiness, decreases.
When I come up against problems while developing, I'll try to go in with a curious mindset. For myself, I want to start learning more and being more curious rather than just learning and finishing what is there. I want to do extra, for my own personal growth and for my growth as a starting developer. Instead of complaining and blaming when things don't go my way, it would be better for me to find solutions and ask for help when needed.
My long term goal in my learning plan already has a bit of a growth mindset in there because i want to be able to do more than just programming/development, i want to pursue everything i’ve wanted to do in my life whether big or small which means i will keep learning, growing and developing, even when i get to a place where i am satisfied. I thought that this would just be the best place to start. As for neuroplasticity I would add in learning something new everyday for at least 15 minutes to my learning plan.

5 Lobos reach double figures in win over E New Mexico
by GLEN ROSALESALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Led by 16 points from Makuach Maluach, five New Mexico players reached double figures and the Lobos put on a 92-71 show against DII foe Eastern New Mexico in a season opener Wednesday.
Carlton Bragg and Zane Martin each added 13 points and six rebounds for New Mexico. Corey Manigault also had 13 points along with three blocks.
Darius Sawyer scored 11 for the Greyhounds and Ibn Zaid had 10.
The game was relatively close through the first 10 minutes as New Mexico led just 20-16 and had only extended that to 45-34 by halftime.
But the Lobos opened the second half with a 16-4 run that gave them control of the game.
Although New Mexico put up plenty of points and had 22 assists, including 11 from JaQuan Lyle, the Lobos also had 21 turnovers, with Martin getting six with no assists.
Eastern was even worse on the turnover end with 22 against just 12 assists.
BIG PICTURE
New Mexico opened with a tune up that allowed Lobos coach Paul Weir to get a good look at highly touted transfers Lyle (Ohio State), Caldwell (Texas A&M;) and Martin (Towson). For Lyle, it was his first game since March 2017. He sat out the 2017-18 season as a transfer, then missed last season with a ruptured right Achilles suffered shortly before the season.
UP NEXT
New Mexico remains at home to face Cal State Northridge on Saturday.
Eastern New Mexico goes to Durango on Saturday to face New Mexico Highlands in the Lone Star-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Challenge.

I have had the great privilege of staying home to manage my household and raise my three boys for the past ten years. I find this my greatest reward and responsibility for the future. I have volunteered in their classrooms and led an afterschool science lab. Most of my focus has been on my children for the first years of their lives, to help them be successful in their formative years. Now that my youngest is in Kindergarten, I am ready and excited to work towards different goals.
I have a BA in Communication from the University of Colorado at Boulder. The majority of my classes focused on Small Group Communication and Interpersonal Communication.

In 2016, I made GOTV phone calls for Hillary Clinton’s campaign in the last week before the election. In this year's election, I wrote letters for a nonprofit organization called Vote Forward. The letters were to encourage voters from underrepresented demographics to vote in the 2020 election. I have not been deeply involved in any campaigns in the last 5 years. In 2016, I donated $50 to Hillary Clinton. In 2020, I donated $550 to Joe Biden and $27.00 to Jaime Harrison.
-I have had the privilege and honor of staying home to raise my children. I believe that raising the next generation is one of the most important jobs to have, especially in the first five years of a child’s life. I have been in the fortunate position to stay home and focus on their needs. Since November 2015, I have had small children in my home, so most of my focus has been on giving my three children a solid base to start their lives. I have volunteered every year since 2014, for class parties and other special events at their schools, and I have helped preschool teachers with small class projects to alleviate some of their burden. -In the 2016-2017 school year, I ran a weekly after school program through the STEM Scouts. I had a class of 15 second and third graders, that I engaged in different STEM concepts throughout the school year. -In Spring of 2019, I volunteered at the Bal Swan Children’s Center Multi Cultural Fair. -In Spring of 2019, I worked with the executive staff at Bal Swan Children's Center, to help them develop their summer camp STEM program for elementary school-age kids.
In 2016, I was a founding lab manager for STEM Scouts, which is an affiliation of Boy Scouts of America. I managed an afterschool science lab for fifteen students at Stargate Charter School. The program was originally designed for third to fifth graders. The lab I managed was a group of second graders. My lab was the only second grade lab in the entire country. The lab was created because there was a group of second grade parents at Stargate who were interested in the program for our children. I successfully lobbied STEM Scouts to let us run a pilot program for this age group. I managed the lab, reworked the material and curriculum, and advocated for the class when problems arose from the STEM Scouts guide book and materials. I also advocated within our lab for families who were unable to provide after school snacks for their children, by creating a rotating list of parent snack days so no child went hungry after school. In 2005, I was the committee chair for the ACLU Young Professionals. I helped the committee facilitate discussions and plan the ACLU Young Professional events in Denver. The committee was in charge of planning and hosting monthly ACLU Young Professional events. Our monthly events included a diverse group of speakers who spoke about different topics related to civil liberties. All events took place in art galleries in the Denver Metro Area, highlighting local galleries and artists in a variety of neighborhoods. In 2005, I was the founding President of the Broomfield Young Democrats. I worked to engage young Democrats in the Broomfield area by hosting various events in Broomfield. One event was a ‘Meet the Candidates’ forum for City Council candidates. All of the candidates, including Republicans, came to our event to engage with young Democrats.
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by our government's history and how it functions. Through school my favorite topics were American History and Government and I have sustained this interest throughout my adult life. I have always viewed the government through a lens of fairness. I try to consider how equitable and fair our government is to the people it represents. The very basic level of fairness can be seen through the context of the electoral maps and how they are drawn. When districts are manipulated in certain ways, the map can benefit those already in power, at the expense of the constituents in gerrymandered districts. If maps are drawn unfairly, it can be difficult to vote out elected officials who are not performing satisfactorily or advancing the will of the people who they are elected to serve. I believe it is important to create fairness in how our government is run and in the selection process. Fair maps elevate the principle of “one person, one vote.” Fair maps also hold elected officials accountable to the people they serve. The best way to create fair electoral maps is to take into account a multitude of different factors, including an area's demographics. It would be an honor to be a part of this process. I know I have the skills and passion to help our great state. This would also set an example, for the rest of our country, on how to create fair maps. I have always strived to incorporate fairness in my daily life and I have taught my children about fairness and equality. Being a part of this process would be a pivotal way to set those beliefs into action.
In this tumultuous time in our union, I still believe there is more that binds us than divides us. I also believe that on topics that I differ with someone else, I cannot ask them to accept my opinion or point of view if I am not willing to listen to their beliefs or experiences. In this thread, there can be commonalities with every person you meet. There may not be agreement on everything, but there is always some common ground. Once that common ground is found, you can build from there and connect the dots to other places of agreement. When I was the chair of the Young Professionals Committee at ACLU, we had a diverse group of committee members. Our committee members came from a multitude of backgrounds; because of this, everyone brought different strengths and ideas. This committee was very impactful on my life. Not only did listening to the committee members make us all smarter and give us a better product for our monthly events, it made me more compassionate and empathetic to people who were very different than me. My tendency for inclusivity was one of the reasons I was given the chair position after one month on the committee. I always listened intently, believed in our collective group and was proud of the outcome. Everyone who will be on this committee will be there for the reason of making Colorado more fair through the Legislative and Congressional maps.  We have all applied and will have been accepted to make a positive impact on our state. I fully intend to use the tools from my previous work and volunteer positions to work with all the other commissioners to make a positive impact on our state maps.
For the 2016-2017 school year, I was the lab manager for the afterschool STEM Scouts at Stargate Charter School. The STEM Scouts program was designed for third to fifth grade students as an intro to STEM curriculum. To expand this program to second graders, I adapted the entire program to meet the needs of this age group. I created weekly labs to educate the kids and foster love and curiosity for science. I researched and brainstormed each topic to create age appropriate labs and activities to engage fifteen 7–8 year olds. I developed multiple station labs to keep them involved and motivated for a 90-minute science lab. After each week's lab, I analyzed how the lab went and would come up with ideas as to how to improve the lab for the students. Not only was I in charge of running the experiments; I also mediated disagreements between students in lab groups to help foster habits of sharing, taking turns and working towards a common goal in each lab. When I worked at Enterprise Rent-A-Car from 2003–2009, I worked in the Loss Control Department, where I held a broad range of roles and responsibilities. My main job focused on risk management assessment and prevention at the car rental locations and property damage claims for the vehicles. I analyzed data and helped with strategic planning for long term budgeting based on damage losses and risk assessment. As a member of the management staff in my department, I created, administered, and reviewed audits and training for Rental Branch and Loss Control Department employees. I also assisted in plan development for rental branch locations and employees not meeting adequate standards, to reach or exceed compliance and training. As the lab manager of the STEM Scouts program, I had no formal science or teaching background. I did, however, have a background in finding and analyzing data and training employees at Enterprise Rent-A-Car. I was able to take that knowledge and use it in a completely different situation. I would like to be able to apply that same data analysis skill set on the commission to ensure that we have fair and equitable maps for the next 10 years.

I was tasked to brand, design, and animate our water bottle. To begin, we conducted a lot of research to see what our demographic likes and dislikes about competing brands like Swell. We also asked them various questions on their water consumption habits. From the results, I designed a water bottle that that includes a compartment for keys and other various objects while on the go, a citrus squeezer and fruit chopper since our demographic stressed the importance of water needing to taste better, and. The water bottle also pairs with an app that reminds users to drink frequently, set goals, and interact with their peers.
The water bottle has received a lot of positive feedback and successfully fulfilled all the requirements and needs our studied demographic addressed. Every aspect of the bottle itself and the app are functional and serve as motivation to consumers successfully.

PHISGOC apologises to Myanmar, Timor Leste and Cambodia for poor SEA Games 2019 preparation
by Sarthak SharmaThe Philippine Southeast Asian Games Organizing Committee (PHISGOC) has sent out an official statement regarding the nation’s ill-preparedness for the Southeast Asian Games (SEA) 2019 set to start on 30 November.
Complaints came in from the Timor-Leste football team initially, and were followed by issues surrounding transportation, training and lodging for the likes of Myanmar, Cambodia and Thailand in a short space of time.
An official statement from PHISGOC acknowledged the mistakes and clarified how they are dealing with the issues mentioned above.
“We sincerely apologize to our athlete guests from Timor-Leste, Myanmar and Cambodia for the inconvenience caused to them by the confusion regarding their transportation and hotel arrangements,” the statement read.
“While PHISGOC strives to ensure proper coordination of the arrival details, airport welcome and transportation provisions of all international teams to their respective assigned hotels, we acknowledge our shortcomings in this particular incident and vow to do better.”
Reports suggested that players from the Cambodian football team had to sleep on carpets as their hotel rooms were not made ready by the organisers.
“As to the Cambodian football team, their change in arrival details was relayed late to the PHISGOC Games Services Department,” the statement said.
“The incident with the two teams remains a constant reminder for us as organizers to be more diligent. We owe it to our guests and our countrymen,” it further said.
