Peter divides his time between art and animation. Having spent many years making cartoons for children’s television (Ludwig, Pigeon Street, Vision On, Rosie and Jim, Tronji, Bonny Banana and Mo and DipDap), his visuals tend to be friendly, accessible and happy. Expect wit, mixed with a sense of the absurd – a finely judged balance of humour and seriousness.

An extension module for the Inets HTTP server, providing HTTP access to JSON-RPC services.
The inets httpd uses an httpd.conf
file to configure itself. To
enable HTTP access to registered JSON-RPC services, two things need
to be added to the httpd configuration file:
rfc4627_jsonrpc_inets
in the Modules
configuration directive (just after mod_alias
and mod_auth
will do)JsonRpcAlias
directive, specifying a subspace of the URLs served by the httpd that will be mapped to JSON-RPC service requests (the value used as AliasPrefix
in calls to rfc4627_jsonrpc_http:invoke_service_method/4
)Here's a complete httpd.conf
:
ServerName localhost ServerRoot test/server_root DocumentRoot test/server_root/htdocs Port 5671 Modules mod_alias mod_auth rfc4627_jsonrpc_inets mod_actions mod_cgi mod_responsecontrol mod_trace mod_range mod_head mod_include mod_dir mod_get mod_log mod_disk_log DirectoryIndex index.html JsonRpcAlias /rpc ErrorLog logs/error_log TransferLog logs/access_log SecurityLog logs/security_log</pre>
If an httpd server is started from this configuration, it will
/rpc
The URL structure for JSON-RPC requests will be
http://localhost:5671/rpc/ServiceName
where ServiceName is the rfc4627_jsonrpc:register_service/2
'd name of the service. For
instance, the example "hello world" service defined in
test_jsonrpc_inets.erl
would be accessible at
http://localhost:5671/rpc/test
The built-in service description method, system.describe
, is
accessible via a POST to that URL, or a GET to
http://localhost:5671/rpc/test/system.describe
Similarly, any idempotent methods provided by a service may be accessed via POST to the base URL for the service, or via GET to a URL of the form
http://localhost:5671/rpc/ServiceName/MethodName?arg=value&...
| do/1 | Implements the inets httpd main callback interface. |
| load/2 | Parses the "JsonRpcAlias" configuration entry from the inets httpd.conf file. |
do(ModData::#mod{}) -> {proceed, term()}
Implements the inets httpd main callback interface.
Calls out torfc4627_jsonrpc_http:invoke_service_method/4
.
load(Line::string(), AccIn::term()) -> {ok, AccOut::term(), {atom(), term()}}
Parses the "JsonRpcAlias"
configuration entry from the inets httpd.conf
file.

There's been an outbreak!
Left to find a Cure.
Here is what we know...

Get your mind out of the gutter, it's social...
You are all infected with a random disease and have a limited time to find a cure before your time runs out. Unlucky! The winner is the person who finds the cure first by solving the puzzle (finding the cure). But be careful, as examining the other patients and attempting cures can transmit the disease faster.
Create a game using the create button or join an existing game by pressing join.
Once a game is started you have a limited time to cure the disease. The mortality bar will show you your current mortality rate. When it hits 100 percent, the world is decimated. The only way to save humanity is to interact with the other players so get out of your comfort zone and meet other people...and talk to them.
In order to cure the disease you must find the correct sequence and pairs of Humours and Symptoms. Humours are old-timey concepts of medicine. No wonder you're sick! Once you have the correct pairs and sequence you can attempt a cure. But beware, if you're wrong the disease spreads faster.
To find the clues you need, you'll need to examine the other players for Humours and Symptoms. Find one of the other players and input their player code. Then, press the Examine button. It is customary to introduce yourself and make eye contact! Your shoes are great but you've seen them. Look up.
You will receive two pieces of information about the pairs and sequence of the cure. They'll automatically be input into your medical chart. Once you have enough information you can attempt a cure. But be careful, a bad cure guess will accelerate the infection!
You'll be helped by the automatic collaboration and transmission of any pairs discovered by another player. They'll be immediately transmitted to all players' medical charts, though the correct sequence position will not. You must use what you have discovered along with deductive reasoning, using the common pair information to make an educated guess about the cure pairs and sequence.
Remember the clock is ticking from the moment the game starts. Examinations spread the disease and wrong guesses spread the disease so pay attention to the mortality rate. Most importantly remember you have to interact with every player!

Letters Guessing Game
What is my secret letter?.


In this project, we're going to make a choose your own adventure game. You can choose your own characters and story line!
1) Create a new background and character.
2) On flag click, have your character say "Click me to say hi"
3) On click, make your character say hi and ask for the user's name.
4) Have your character say "Hi 'name'!" using the name the player gave (if the player said 'Joe' your character should say 'Hi Joe!').
5) Ask the user how they're doing and respond based on their answer. For example if the player says they are good, your character can respond by saying 'that's great!'
6) Ask the user if they're ready for an adventure, and give them two options of different places to go. Make different scenarios for both of the options. You could go to the moon, to help Harry Potter defeat Voldemort, to steal candy from Candy Land. It's up to you!


Paris Hilton denies having plastic surgery as she shares secrets to youthful look
The hotel heiress is approaching 40 and says the secret to still looking like she's in her 20s is staying out of the sun
by Vicki Newman, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/vicki-newman/Paris Hilton has denied ever having plastic surgery and says there's another secret to her youthful glow.
The hotel heiress, 38, is just a couple of years away from her 40th birthday, but shared the secret to looking like she's still in her 20s.
Paris, who is close friends with Kim Kardashian , stays saying out of the sun is the key to maintaining a youthful glow.
She told MailOnline : "My mother always taught me to stay out of the sun and about how important skincare is."
Speaking at the 3rd Annual #REVOLVEawards at Goya Studios in Hollywood, she said that while she's hitting the beach in places like Ibiza and St Barts, she's always armed with plenty of sunscreen and a big hat to block out the rays.
She also took the opportunity to plug her own beauty product line, Paris Hilton ProD.N.A Skincare, which she says gives "incredible results".
But when it comes to going under the knife to alter your appearance, she says it's something she's never done.
She said: "I'm all natural and very proud of that."
She previously said in 2018: "I've never done any Botox, filler — no plastic surgery in my life."
Recently, Kim talked about her friendship with Paris in her True Hollywood Story.
Mum-of-four Kim, 38, credited Paris for teaching her how to handle the celeb life.
Learning from the best, Kim had lessons in stepping out of cars from her old pal.
Kim and the hotel heiress have been friends since childhood, but of course, things between them have been strained at times.
However, Paris did impart this special knowledge onto Kim, who said: "I remember we were sitting in her SLR Mercedes... and at that point, the paparazzi would lay on the ground to try and get a picture of you, up your dress, and she said, 'OK. We need to make sure you don't give them that'.
"She was such a great mentor for me. I really am grateful for my experiences with her. She's a huge, huge reason for my success."

--- title: Documentation description: Knot.x documentation layout: content-layout menu: true order: 5 ---
Knot.x is an open-source integration framework designed to build backend APIs combining CMS experience with the dynamic data from external systems like e-commerce, CRMs, and search engines.
A "heart" of Knot.x is the non-blocking asynchronous HTTP Server (powered by [Netty](http://netty.io)) that uses Fragment Processing to connect many data sources into a one customer experience (like HTML, JSON or PDF) in the configurable, reactive, scalable and fault-tolerant way.
A fragment is a piece of any kind of document that can be processed independently (e.g. an HTML snippet that represents the shopping cart or a JSON containing person's bookshelf).
Knot.x comes also with a distribution that enables quick start with the framework, is a project structure and supports deployment automation (see the Cookbook and Docker images).
Knot.x is built on the top of Vert.x, known as one of the leading toolkits for performant, event-driven applications. It uses asynchronous programming principles which allows it to process a large number of requests using a single thread. Asynchronous programming is a style promoting the ability to write non-blocking code (no thread pools). The platform stays responsive under heavy and varying load and is designed to follow Reactive Manifesto principles.
Start with the Tutorials section to understand the
basics of
Knot.x and play with it.
Explore the Knot.x
Example Project for use
case examples.
Below you can explore user documentation for the most important Knot.x modules. Each module documentation can be found in module's repository. You may explore all the modules in the Knot.x GitHub project.
The server is essentially a "heart" of Knot.x. It's scalable (vertically and horizontally), pluggable (easy to extend), fault-tolerant and highly efficient reactive HTTP server based on Vert.x. It handles all incoming HTTP requests and routes the traffic using the [OpenAPI specification](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification).
While Knot.x HTTP Server is a "hearth" of Knot.x, a Fragments processing is its "brain". Knot.x Fragments is a Swiss Army knife for integrating with dynamic data sources. It comes with distributed systems stability patterns such as a circuit breaker to handle different kinds of network failures. Thanks to those build-in mechanisms developers can focus more on delivering business logic and make the solution ready to handle any unexpected integration problems. The repository also provides HTTP Action that connects to the external WEB endpoint that responds with JSON.
Stack is a Knot.x distribution, a fully-featured bootstrap project for Knot.x-based solutions. It does not require any external dependencies, therefore it is used to build Knot.x Docker images and to setup an instance with Chef.
Launcher provides a way to configure and run a bare Knot.x instance. It can be used as a microservice platform built on Vert.x using the HOCON syntax for configuration and modules management.
The repository connector provides a template from external repositories, such as CMS or file system.
Template Engine converts a template and Fragment's data into the final markup. Knot.x comes with implemented Handlebars engine out of the box, but creating any custom template engine is very easy.
JUnit 5 extension for Knot.x-based projects.
Gradle plugins that help manage Knot.x modules build. Most of the Knot.x 2 modules are built and deployed with Gradle 5 using Kotlin DSL.


Focus will be on Canadian GDP – TDS
by Haresh MenghaniAnalysts at TD Securities (TDS) offered a brief preview of Friday's only important release of the Canadian GDP growth figures, scheduled later during the early North-American session.
Key Quotes:
"Canadian GDP could spark some real fireworks, as a miss to the downside would pave the way for a large rally in Canada ahead of the BoC monetary policy meeting next week."
"We look for Q3 GDP to rise by a muted 0.9%, slightly below the market consensus and Bank of Canada projections for 1.3%. Softer net exports will weigh on growth along with muted non-residential investment growth, while strong residential investment and a rebound in consumption will provide the main drivers to growth. For industry-level GDP, we look for a 0.1% increase in September (market: 0.1%) to provide a soft handoff to the fourth quarter, with manufacturing headwinds weighing on monthly GDP growth."

>I while ago I posted my thoughts about cross service transactions (or rather my disbelief in them). I just read Juval Lowy's article on WCF transaction propagation in the May issue of MSDN magazine and can't se the need for it. I still firmly believe that transactions between services should be avoided at all costs. Arnon Rotem-Gal-Oz's has published some comments that supports my theory, an there fore it must be true :)
Well, WCF is great but I would rather see that they spend some more time on publish/subscribe support instead of building transactional features.

Before I was a web developer, I was an Organizational Psychologist. "What is that," you ask? Shoot me an email and I'll tell you all about it.
After many months of contemplating a career change, I came across the Web Development Immersive (WDI) at General Assembly and decided to quit my job and dive into it!
Finally having my certification is great and I can't wait to start developing with purpose.
One day, I hope to program a life-size Buzz Lightyear that flies around the world powered solely by the sun while singing "Around the World" by Daft Punk.

CITY OF JOY A film review by Ralph Benner Copyright 1996 Ralph Benner
Dominique Lapierre's THE CITY OF JOY is a dense nonfiction (with blessedly short chapters) that has the momentum of a novel written as a collection of portraits of unimaginably joyous survivors of the worst slums in all of India and probably the world -- those of Calcutta. Starting out as a depressing travelogue, we quickly come to feel we're going to know the city more than we might really want -- and come very dangerously close to reeling in indigenous epigrams and platitudes: "Coal doesn't change its color when you wash it. What can't be cured must be endured"; "My memory is like camphor. It evaporates with time"; "Fishes can't afford to live on bad terms with the crocodiles in the pool." By the fifth chapter, Lapierre settles down and digs into Calcutta -- "a mirage city to which in the course of one generation six million starving people had come in the hope of feeding their families...(a) metropolis situated at the heart of one of the world's richest yet at the same time most ill-fated regions, an area of failing or devastating monsoons causing either drought or biblical floods. This is an area of cyclones and apocalyptic earthquakes, an area of political exoduses and religious wars such as no other country's climate or history has perhaps ever engendered...(one) earthquake in 1937 caused hundreds of thousands of deaths ...six years later a famine killed three and a half million people in Bengal alone...in 1965 a cyclone (hit India with the force of) ten three megaton H-bombs...Calcutta condemn(s) its ten million inhabitants to living on less than twelve square feet of space per person, while the four or five million of them who squeeze into its slums have sometimes to make do with barely three square feet each." You begin to feel you have to be a masochist to go further, because the descriptions of the living conditions in Calcutta's largest slum -- Anand Nagar, the City of Joy -- are tummy-turning: the rot of the tin and cardboard shacks, the hunger, the lepers, eunuchs and the scorching heat and pestilence match the revulsion of the residents regularly wading through waste-high excrement that floods through the slums when the rains come or the sewers get backed up because of the endless strikes.  (There are no precise numbers but it's estimated that India has as many as five millions lepers.) Lapierre writes about the dwellers of the City of Joy: "No amount of wretchedness, not even utter destitution on a piece of pavement in Calcutta, could alter that they are the world's cleanest people." And they do it with less than a pint of water for each daily public bath.
If you're a sinner like moi, you'll be absolved of all sins when you finish the first half, and if you make it all the way through -- this should be easy to do because you'll be hooked by then -- you're likely going to be a candidate for sainthood. While there's mention of and a bit of history about Mother Teresa, this isn't her story. It's about a real Polish Catholic priest and (during the last third of the book) a real American Jewish doctor who join forces to provide, with scant financial resources, whatever medicinal comfort is feasible. It can't come as any surprise to the reader that though their work is needed, admired and honored, it is within these two outsiders that the City of Joy has its ironic impact. (And it has impacted readers around the world: by October, 1986, Lapierre had received over 40,000 letters, many of them containing donations, so moved were they by the emotionally wrenching stories. The author has also donated one half of his royalties to Anand Nagar's inhabitants.) Reading some copy about the movie version, the feature writers are describing the book as "sentimental" but it's no such thing: though immersed in awesome poverty, this book isn't schmaltzy fictionalized pap -- it doesn't cheapen or romanticize or distort the residents of the City of Joy.
I wish I could say the movie doesn't, either, but I can't: director Roland Joffe and screenwriter Mark Medoff have indeed cheapened the story in every way and worst of all is they have taken the good American doctor -- played by Patrick Swayze -- and turned him into an example of the pretensions of the "art" of dramatic writing right out of Lajos Egri's college text. They've given him a false crisis, made his character diametrically the opposite of what he is in Lapierre's book in order put him into repeated conflicts that Loeb only rarely or never encounters, made him inexplicably suicidal, and gave him a resolution that, evidently satisfying to the members of the audience who don't know how Lapierre ends his story, is simply hackneyed. The next worse things they've done: they eliminated entirely the priest -- it's now Pauline Collins as Sister (Saint) Joan -- and have created a super vicious slum Mafiosi, played by Art Malik. Anyone who reads the book can see it as a ready-made screenplay and all an honest director needs is a cast, a Steadicam and a story editor who has respect for the material. There are more scenes of real conflict, heartbreaking drama, spiritual wonderment and impossible-to-believe-but-true vignettes in the book than a moviemaker could ever hope to use -- for example, the young doctor amputating without anesthesia a leprous arm and watching "a mangy dog carrying it off in its mouth" -- but why Joffe and Medoff had to go dreaming up new ones is beyond the pale. In the book -- and his first appearance comes about half way through and becomes focal only in the last third -- Miamian Max Loeb, who's just about to get his medical degree from Tulane, has read all about the selfless priest of Calcutta and decides, because he needs "a change of air, to be of service," to join him. In the very first scenes of the movie, he's Max Lowe -- changed to a less Jewish-sounding name because the movie was being filmed during the Gulf War and there were constant anti-American and anti-Israeli protests -- and already an established doctor from Houston who abruptly decides to abandon his profession because he lost a child-patient on the operating room table. (What drives him to Calcutta specifically is never adequately explained except by the all-purpose search for "enlightenment.") In the book Loeb, on his first day in the slums, helps deliver a breeched baby to a leper couple. In the movie, Lowe checks into a seedy hotel, entertains a prostie and is set up to get drunk, beaten and robbed by local Mafia terrorizer Malik. And this movie Max sort of stumbles onto the slums. (He eventually gets to that leper's baby, though.)
Objecting to what Joffe has done to Lapierre's book might not have been necessary had he at least been faithful to the atmospherics of the slums even half way right. At first glance the faked City of Joy, photographed approximating the color of diluted urine, appears wretched and diseased, and when we see the blackened open trench that snakes its way through the slums, we expect to get a dose of biological reality -- that is, shown how the dwellers poop. As we get into the book, we wait for Lapierre to account for the disposal methods, since there are no bathrooms as Westerners acknowledge the meaning. He doesn't disappoint; as horrific and appearing-to-be lacking of dignity as it might seem, it's quite the reverse, and a queer sense of admiration occurs within the reader when the Polish priest says, "Before reaching the public conveniences, I had to cross a veritable lake of excrement. This additional trial was a courtesy of the cesspool emptiers, who had been on strike for five months. The stench was so foul that I no longer knew which was the more unbearable: the smell or the sight. That people could actually remain good humored in the middle of so much abjection seemed quite sublime to me. They laughed and joked -- especially the children who somehow brought the freshness and gaiety of their games into that cesspool. I came back from that escapade as groggy as a boxer knocked out in the first round." (And they don't use any form of toilet paper -- only a tinful of water to wash up afterwards.) Joffe not only avoids what has to be running through the minds of viewers when they see that sewer, and avoids the common overspills of the sewer into the homes, he also avoids the bathing practices which are even more of a marvel. (The women are able to fully clean themselves while still in their saris.) Part of the omission most likely has to do with the persistent protests that occurred during the filming -- many Indians felt that Joffe might be robbing residents of their self-respect if all aspects of life in the City of Joy were documented. But in that Joffe faked his city and flood, could he not fake the urges or baths elsewhere? And perhaps do it in longshot? Readers will also note what other elements are missing: cobras and infestations of rats and bugs; how the people use cow dung cakes as fuel to cook their food (made ultra spicy because much of it is rotten); and the ravages of the heat -- so hot that the bare feet of the horses who pull the rickshaws would stick to the pavement of the streets and the callous outer skin would peel off and the under skin would become bloody and infected.
So what do we get in the movie version? Instead of endemic cholera, there's frequent Mafia-administered punches into Max's stomach and a stab into rickshaw puller Hasari (played by Om Puri), who also suffers from a badly treated case of tuberculosis. When the monsoon arrives and then the flood, instead of numerous bodies and dead rodents, dogs and other animals floating through the alley streets of the slum, there's Max nearly drowning after saving a leper and his baby. In the book, Max is exasperated by a lack of medical supplies and though he's often discouraged -- he periodically heads to one of Calcutta's grand hotels for a little R&R -- he's faithful to Hippocrates; movie Max has to be goaded into staying true to his oath. (One assumes that because Joffe and scripter Medoff reversed Loeb at the start, they could redeem themselves by having movie Max stay indefinitely in Anand Nagar, slyly one-uping Loeb, who eventually returned to America, though he founded an organization to supply the slum with medicines and equipment, and makes regular return visits.)
Had Joffe only condensed the material, he might have provided Patrick Swayze with the role he excitedly told Oprah and Larry King had changed his life. You want to believe his humbleness when he said that this is his best work so far as an actor, but if he could say this, and tell us that when he first arrived in Calcutta Joffe sent him directly to work with Mother Teresa before filming started, and that he's playing a role of a doctor whose life has been fundamentally changed because of his experiences in the City of Joy, it's not suspiciously disingenuous, it's a little more like too sincere star-thumping. He's doing his own advance work on his still unformulated humanatations. (He even admitted his emotional discombobulation to King.) If Swayze had played his Max as he's promoting himself, he'd have been a sensation, and not coincidentally much closer to the real Max. It's not Swayze's fault that the part is now about a stereotypic angry young man, yet given the confines of such, he's far from bad. In fact, what saves him is his own deportment -- his own sense of agog; he's at once thrilled and yet disbelieving that he's playing so life-changing a role. And there's something quite appealing about his slightly Oriental face, which, perhaps because he fell ill for three weeks during production, has finally lost its fattiness, and its repellent grubbiness; in his Bugle Boys and sun-bleached hair, he's warm, personable. (Even the real kids of Anand Nagar liked him enormously.) If he can't redeem the awful scenes in which he's mouthing the silly, badly written bitterness that's supposed to be telling us something about his character, the fact is no one could (Joffe originally wanted Richard Dreyfuss; Lapierre wanted Mel Gibson) because Medoff disemboweled the book's Max, who was skeletal to begin with. (Two scenes from the thirty minutes cut from the theatrical release include Max's attempted suicide, which never happens in the book, and a seduction of Sister Joan; in the book, Max has an Indian sexual outlet as part of his R&R.) Swayze does affect us during a few of the movie's dramatic wallops, and in one I got quite flushed with feelings and teary-eyed. The problem is, I can't remember the exact moment anymore -- it has completely vanished from my mind. This fleetness is central to Joffe's vamoosed vision; he's made not a movie version of THE CITY OF JOY but one about The City of Vapors. Everything that's genuinely moving about the book has been evaporated.
Joffe is most faithful to the book's rickshaw puller Hasari, who is the salt of Indian earth. Om Puri's performance is unquestionably the movie's major asset, though you find yourself losing patience with his mania for honor. (You could discreetly skim over his virtues in the book but you're stuck enduring them in the theatre.) Pauline Collins is wasted as an amalgam of the religious characters that Joffe thought could be vacated without spiritual loss. (One of the small surprises of the book is that even in the Anand Nagar Christian Christmas is celebrated.) This may be, more than anything else, what tells us is so dummy-headed wrong with the movie. It's maddeningly compromising when no dilution is necessary. So what if Indians were protesting? When do they not? But you know why Joffe phonied it up -- he's got one eye on the potentially huge box office of India. (There's a funny line at the beginning when an Indian woman tells a young child to keep away from the movie houses -- Indians being among the world's most avid moviegoers.) What will rankle lovers of the book and probably enrage fair-minded Indians about the movie THE CITY OF JOY is that if this is the movie that Joffe really wanted to make, it's even more insulting to the Indians he placated because it makes so many of them look like the fools he and Medoff made of themselves.

| void Watchdog_Enable | ( | uint32_t | timeout_ms | ) |
Enables watch dog reset functionality.
| timeout_ms | The watch dog reset time (in ms) |
This functions calculates the watch dog time base based on desired timeout, to give the best granularity. The STM32 independent watch dog peripheral runs on a 40KHz RC oscillator. This 40KHz clock can be divided down in range 4 - 256. The watchdog itself resets the system when the watchdog timer reaches a value of 0 (12 bit counter).
Min timeout (highest resolution): 4095 / (40KHz / 4) -> 0.410s
Max timeout: 4095 / (40KHz / 256) -> 26.2s
| void Watchdog_Feed | ( | ) |
Feeds the watchdog timer. Should be called periodically from main loop.
If this function is not called within the reset period, the watchdog timer will trip and force a system reset. Default watchdog timeout is 2s, which should be significantly longer than any operation execution time in firmware.

2 Data handling and visualization
As noted earlier in this guide, an R workflow basically consists of performing calculations and/or visualizing your data which has previously been imported into R. In the majority of cases, this workflow usually includes an intermediary step referred to as data manipulation meant to get your data into shape for visualization. Note that some packages even require you to provide the data to be displayed in a particular format (of which more later on).
Within the scope of this short course, we’ll simply assume that you already heard a lot about importing your data into R. Even if this were not the case, there’s plenty of tutorials on the internet demonstrating the use of read.table()
and the like. Help on this topic may be found e.g. on Quick-R, CRAN, R-Tutor and so forth. Just remember, Google is your friend ☺
Data manipulation
An overview of typical data manipulation steps, including illustrative examples, is provided by the R Cookbook and includes, among others,
- General operations
- Sorting
- Converting between vector types
- Dealing with duplicate records and missing values
- Factor operations
- Renaming and re-computing factor levels
- Reordering factor levels (which comes in quite handy when plotting data)
- Data frame operations
- Adding and removing columns
- Reordering columns
- Merging data frames
- Restructuring data
- Data format conversions
- Summarizing data
Since I assume that you are already familiar with the basics of data manipulation, we will primarily focus on the latter point which represents an essential step towards conveying your results clearly and vividly to a broader audience.
The diamonds
dataset
In the following subsections, I’ll introduce the essentials of data restructuring in R on the basis of the diamonds
dataset, which is part of the ggplot2 package. In case you are not already familiar with the dataset, just take a minute and have a look at ?diamonds
in order to get a more detailed description of the single variables.
Now, it is important to realize that diamonds
is not a standard R data.frame
(in fact, it used to be one), but an object of class tbl_df
.
library(ggplot2)
class(diamonds)
## [1] "tbl_df" "tbl" "data.frame"
One good thing about such objects in R is that their print()
method largely renders ritual-like head()
, tail()
, or str()
calls unnecessary.
diamonds

## 5 0.31 Good J SI2 63.3 58 335 4.34 4.35 2.75
## 6 0.24 Very Good J VVS2 62.8 57 336 3.94 3.96 2.48
## 7 0.24 Very Good I VVS1 62.3 57 336 3.95 3.98 2.47
## 8 0.26 Very Good H SI1 61.9 55 337 4.07 4.11 2.53
## 9 0.22 Fair E VS2 65.1 61 337 3.87 3.78 2.49
## 10 0.23 Very Good H VS1 59.4 61 338 4.00 4.05 2.39
## # ... with 53,930 more rows
Notice that not only the class and the dimensions of the dataset are displayed, but also the variable types of the single columns. Furthermore, the console output is truncated after the first 10 rows (which would also apply to the displayed columns if we were dealing with a somewhat wider dataset). Practically, this means that the appropriate use of tbl_df
lets you kill two birds with one stone compared with the 2-step approach via head
and str
that is usually required for investigating standard data frames.

thanks again for your reply
No, as i said, your PHP is misconfigured.
You need to modify the global php.ini file in your PHP installation.
If you don't have access to this file you must contact your webhoster.
For normal this error don't should happen when a hoster have a good PHP setup.

Introduction
The visual expression of this phenomena help to understand how film producers address the issue of migration. This involves both the movie in itself and the artifacts produced to advertise it. We decided to analyze the film covers and the official trailer of each film, because of their character. It gives them the chance to be viewed by lot of people, makes them most likely the first touchpoint and constitute a sort of access to the movie itself.
Protocol
1. Download cover images from IMDB using CloudScrape, we create a bot in which we introduce all IMDB links of each film and we create a process were the bot in each website take the image of the cover and downloaded it.
2. We download manually from YouTube each trailer using KeepVid
3. We create a database classifying each cover by this categories: Genre, Diagram, Type of image, Etnic difference, Relational, Kinesic ande Gender.
4. Usig Photoshop and creating Actions, we create the 256 color palette of each film, ones organized by its importance of each color in the image, and other palette organized by Luminance.
Load each img > save for web > GIF 128 > 256 colors > screenshots > change the name of each screenshot to film name.
Photoshop > create action > load one screenshot > crop tool to select just the palette > save.
Photoshop > automate > batch > apply the action to the folder where screenshots are.
5. For the interactive visualization we organized 113 film covers (7 were unavailable) to present them all together, and we create the possibility to filter them by genre.
6. We dispose another commands to filter each film by transparency using the categories purposed on point 3.
7. For each category we make a horizontal bar graph to show the information presented on each category and helps to make conclusion for each interaction by category.
8. For the color visualization, we take all palettes obtained on point 4 and we organized them by genre, then we make the same analysis of point 4 to create a four color palette for each genre.
9. In the case of luminance visualization we create an index using the formula for measuring luminace Y = 0.2126*R + 0.7152*G + 0.0722*B. Then we make the media of each four color luminance to have a unique luminance index and we graph them.
10. For the trailer barcode we download manually each trailer from YouTube, using KeepVid. Using Movie Barcode we upload each trailer and this software creates a 1 image compressed of the whole trailer by seconds organized linearly, creating a kind of barcode width the variation of color of the trailer.
How to read it
The visualization offers the possibility to interact applying filters. The first way to visualize is by filtering by genre: this will regroup films that belongs to the same genre, turning off the rest of the films.
The second control console permits to show either the cover films, the color palettes or the trailer barcode. Then it presents a series of categories that let apply opacity filters that can be also combined with the genre filter, so that users can see trends on each category.
Each category is accompanied with a graphic visualization of the information presented to help the understanding of trends.
Findings
The first conclusion that emerges is that migration films are significantly more belonging to drama genre over the rest of genres.
The color predominance is set to a variation of ochre across all film covers. It was hard to find color trends by genre, because we couldn’t find trends by each category. Cold colors for genres like adventure and action, warmer colors for genres like film-noir and romance.
Looking at diagram styles and type of images used in cover films the use of photography and digital edition is the most present style. Related to human characters and how they are shown we conclude that at least on the cover, the relation between them is more important than showing relation towards places. For gender presence the trend is to show both male and female characters, followed by male and then female. In conclusion, we realized that there are't significant differentiations between ethnicities or races.

THE TRIGGER EFFECT A film review by Scott Renshaw Copyright 1996 Scott Renshaw
Starring: Kyle MacLachlan, Elisabeth Shue, Dermot Mulroney. Screenplay: David Koepp. Director: David Koepp. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
There is nothing that will make a Hollywood marketing executive salivate like a current news story to which a new film can be linked, and if you remember the bounce THE CHINA SYNDROME got from the Three Mile Island accident of 1979, you'll understand why. When a seven-state power failure hit the American west on August 10th, the folks at Gramercy must have done the Mipos Dance of Joy -- five days later, I had press material for the blackout thriller THE TRIGGER EFFECT mentioning the August 10th failure. It's hard to resist that kind of "torn-from-today's-headlines" marketing, but I hope they don't make THE TRIGGER EFFECT look like a cheap knock-off by overdoing it, because it is nothing of the kind. This is a sharp and surprisingly effective thriller which makes up for a sluggish middle with an exceptional start and finish.
It is Friday in an unnamed California city, and a young married couple named Matt (Kyle MacLachlan) and Annie (Elisabeth Shue) are enjoying a night at the movies despite some talkative fellow audience members. The problems really begin when they get home. Their infant daughter has an ear infection, their housing contractors appear to be committing petty thefts, and to make matters worse, the power goes out. The first night, it's an inconvenience; the next day, it becomes dangerous. Along with the power, phones and radio stations are also out, causing rumors to run rampant, and stores -- those which remain open -- can only take cash. Along with their friend Joe (Dermot Mulroney), Matt and Annie try to wait out the blackout, but find themselves forced to act as the threads of civilization begin to unravel around them.
THE TRIGGER EFFECT opens with one of the niftiest single-take scenes of the year, following a chain of events in a mall which eventually introduces us to Matt and Annie. Beginning with a man on the receiving end of a spilled cup of coffee, rookie director David Koepp (screenwriter for JURASSIC PARK, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and others) shows people acting shocked at the rudeness of others, then proceeding to treat someone else just as rudely. It is a smart and subtle piece of film-making which underlines the main premise of THE TRIGGER EFFECT: how fragile a foundation it is on which civilization is based. It is amazing how much more obvious the ineptitude of THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU becomes when compared to a film which takes a very similar theme -- what separates us from animals -- and does it so much better.
It's a great concept for an information age thriller, with both a nod to and an updating of the classic "Twilight Zone" episode "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street," but Koepp loses track of his story for a while to focus on relationship troubles between Matt and Annie. He tries to connect those troubles to the film's central themes -- Annie has a problem respecting the mild-mannered Matt until he steals medicine for the baby -- and he is successful for a little while. Elisabeth Shue does smart work as a sexy mother and wife with a bit of a wild streak, and Kyle MacLachlan is a solid hero as the relentlessly civil Matt, but they are distracted along with Koepp by the introduction of Mulroney and a romantic triangle. Whatever point Koepp might have been trying to make about the attraction of "animal behavior" gets muddled in the house-bound middle third of THE TRIGGER EFFECT.
Fortunately, Koepp pulls it all together for a nerve-wracking conclusion as Matt, Annie and Joe hit the road in an attempt to get out of town. Just two days removed from a normal life, the world around them dissolves into paranoia and a relentless pursuit of survival, and a climax featuring two superb showdowns: one involving an edgy stranger (Bill Simitrovich) who claims to want nothing more than a ride, the other involving Matt's attempt to break into a house to steal car keys. Koepp is not a genius at creating shaded characters (remember, he _did_ write JURASSIC PARK and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE), but he demonstrates an impressive talent for building tension and for pacing a thriller to keep his audience involved. It is also noteworthy that Koepp never makes a point of explaining what caused the blackout, because that would have been sending the wrong message about what mattered about this story. THE TRIGGER EFFECT is a disturbing and all-too-real tale which makes the ironic observation that we have come to depend on technology for our humanity, and if a little creative marketing will bring people out to see it, then so be it.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 itchy triggers: 7.

EXCLUSIVE! Humsafar: Prashant Singh Opens Up About Acting Debut & WHY His Production House Is Named As Ek Rupaiya
Sung by Vivek Verma the song is a romantic track. Prashant in a candid chat with Koimoi spoke about venturing into a new territory.
by Shubham KulkarniPrashant Singh may not be a familiar name, but the man has created an empire of his own. An entrepreneur and a philanthropist at a young age, he is trying his luck in acting with his new single Humsafar. Sung by Vivek Verma the song is a romantic track. Prashant in a candid chat with Koimoi spoke about venturing into a new territory, how he balances it and why his production house is named Ek Rupaiya.
How does it feel to take a big leap from being an entrepreneur to an actor? And how was your experience?
So when the song came to our production house, I was too excited. Looking at my excitement, they insisted me on doing it and made me believe that I can do it. Actually all the hype gave me the confidence. Talking about the experience it was wonderful as this was the first time I was in front of the camera. I was in the zone. I know this is not my 100 percent but I have worked hard.
Your production house extensively works on music, So what attracts you towards music?
Music is something that attracts one and all. Everyone loves music, also if you want to make your presence in the market felt, music is the best way. I have also worked in many short films and feature films, but what happened is that I had only financed them so I did not have any direct mentions.
Why is your production house named Ek Rupaiya Productions?
I think from a businessman perspective. The value of a rupee is the highest. It is the most important aspect of our currency. Second is without rupee you cannot make a particular amount complete, every rupee counts.
Also, I began my business with a rupee with me. During my struggling period in Nagpur, I had a rupee and have slept on the railway station there. One day I borrowed a newspaper from a guy there and used that rupee to make a call to a company that had vacancy. I got the job and that is how my career began. So I will remember that rupee all my life.
How do you balance all of it together considering you own a production house and an It company including all the other things you do?
I am focused and do what I want, my vision is clear. Also, I trust my team, everyone who works with me which makes the process easier.
What out of all these is the most difficult?
Acting is a tough job. Facing the camera is not easy not everyone can do it.
Being someone so closely associated with music, do you support remakes and remixes?
I honestly do not support them. They may be good to listen but the originals are what rule, and we need to make more of it. We are so engrossed in remixing the past ones that we are not keen to get into originals.


All Things Frennch Bulldog
Here are some really good websites and places that I have found for either adopting or starting from a puppy for French Bulldogs.
Here is the first site, Adopt a Pet.com, This site allows you to specify the breed, location and how far your willing to drive and it wil find locations according to the parameters you give it! Click here to check it out (Click the Image):
This site is great for finding puppies! The AKC Puppy Finder, this finder is strictly for Puppies and strictly for Breeders that fall under the certifications of the AKC. But this finder finds French Bulldog puppies all around the United States! Check it out here (Click the Image):
Finally the last site is the ASPCA website. It runs just like the Adopt a Pet website where you can specify what kind of dog your looking for and how far your willing to drive. The only difference is the ASPCA is all about adopting dogs, so you will not find puppies on this website. Click here to try it out (Click the Image):


For every project we complete, we think about the fact that the work we do is something you live with every single day.
Founded in 2007, Feisa Construction Company Limited provides general contracting, construction management and pre-engineered metal building services to a broad range of commercial and industrial clients throughout Kenya.
Here the project objective or need is identified. A suitable response to the need is documented in a business case with recommended solution options.When a solution is approved, a project is initiated to implement the approved solution. This is the time when the project team begins to take shape.
The team identifies all of the work to be done. The project’s tasks and resource requirements are identified, along with the strategy for producing them. A project plan outlining the activities, tasks, dependencies, and timeframes is created.
This is the implementation phase, where the project plan is put into motion and the work of the project is performed practically on site. It is essential to maintain control and communicate as needed during each implementation stages. Progress is continuously monitored and appropriate adjustments are made and recorded as variances from the original plan. Status reports are used to highlight the probable end point in terms of cost, schedule, and quality of deliverables. When deliverables have been produced and the customer has agreed on the final solution, the project is ready for closure.
The importance is providing the final deliverables to the customer, that is:
Our success in this business is measured one project at a time. After the completion of each project we undertake, there must remain a satisfied client – one who will ask us back for the next project and recommend us to others. “Safety First“ for all employees is embedded in our company culture from top to bottom Otherwise, we have failed in our mission of providing superior construction services. We simply try harder, and the results speak for themselves – give us a call if we can help you with your next project.
Early in our corporate growth, we took time to develop guiding principles to ensure we would fulfill our vision and mission every single day.
To provide the best construction experience through- Relationships built on integrity. Success built on performance. Fueled by a commitment to continual improvement, both personally and professionally.
To be sought out as the recognized and trusted firm in the industry and community;
retaining, developing, and attracting the best in committed construction leadership;
and to drive deliberate and intelligent growth of the company.

A Tweedie random variable with 1<p<2 is a sum of N
gamma random variables
where N
has a Poisson distribution. The p=1 case is a generalization of a Poisson distribution and is a discrete
distribution supported on integer multiples of the scale parameter. For 1<p<2 the distribution is supported on the
positive reals with a point mass at zero. p=2 is a gamma distribution. As p gets very close to 1 the continuous
distribution begins to converge on the discretely supported limit at p=1.
ldTweedie
is based on the series evaluation method of Dunn and Smyth (2005). Without
the restriction on p
the calculation of Tweedie densities is less straightforward. If you really need this
case then the tweedie
package is the place to start.
The rho
, theta
parameterization is useful for optimization of p
and phi
, in order to keep p
bounded well away from 1 and 2, and phi
positive. The derivatives near p=1
tend to infinity.
Note that if p
and phi
(or theta
and rho
) both contain only a single unique value, then the underlying
code is able to use buffering to avoid repeated calls to expensive log gamma, di-gamma and tri-gamma functions (mu
can still be a vector of different values). This is much faster than is possible when these parameters are vectors with different values.

SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(3)
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback, SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg,
SSL_set_msg_callback, SSL_get_msg_callback_arg - install callback for
observing protocol messages
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
void SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(SSL_CTX *ctx, void (*cb)(int write_p, int version, int content_type, const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg));
void SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(SSL_CTX *ctx, void *arg);
void SSL_set_msg_callback(SSL *ssl, void (*cb)(int write_p, int version, int content_type, const void *buf, size_t len, SSL *ssl, void *arg));
void SSL_set_msg_callback_arg(SSL *ssl, void *arg);
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback() or
SSL_set_msg_callback() can be used to define a message
callback function cb for observing all SSL/TLS protocol messages (such as handshake messages)
that are received or sent. SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg() and
SSL_set_msg_callback_arg() can be used to set argument arg to the callback function, which is available for arbitrary application use.
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback() and
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg() specify default settings that
will be copied to new SSL objects by
SSL_new(3). SSL_set_msg_callback() and
SSL_set_msg_callback_arg() modify the actual settings of an SSL
object. Using a 0 pointer for cb disables the message callback.
When cb is called by the SSL/TLS library for a protocol message, the function
arguments have the following meaning:
- write_p
-
This flag is 0 when a protocol message has been received and 1
when a protocol message has been sent.
- version
-
The protocol version according to which the protocol message is interpreted
by the library. Currently, this is one of
SSL2_VERSION, SSL3_VERSION and TLS1_VERSION (for SSL 2.0, SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0, respectively).
- content_type
-
In the case of SSL 2.0, this is always 0. In the case of SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0, this is one of the ContentType values defined in the protocol specification (change_cipher_spec(20), alert(21),
handshake(22); but never application_data(23) because the callback will only be called for protocol messages).
- buf, len
-
buf points to a buffer containing the protocol message, which consists of len bytes. The buffer is no longer valid after the callback function has
returned.
- ssl
-
The SSL object that received or sent the message.
- arg
-
The user-defined argument optionally defined by
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg() or
SSL_set_msg_callback_arg().
Protocol messages are passed to the callback function after decryption and
fragment collection where applicable. (Thus record boundaries are not
visible.)
If processing a received protocol message results in an error, the callback
function may not be called. For example, the callback function will never
see messages that are considered too large to be processed.
Due to automatic protocol version negotiation, version is not necessarily the protocol version used by the sender of the message:
If a TLS 1.0 ClientHello message is received by an SSL 3.0-only server,
version will be SSL3_VERSION.
ssl(3), SSL_new(3)
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback(),
SSL_CTX_set_msg_callback_arg(),
SSL_set_msg_callback() and
SSL_get_msg_callback_arg() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.7.

The Artisan factory emerged from the traditional woodwork shop Ćostović, which conveyed all its love towards wood and 50-year experience of wood processing into it.
Artisan specializes in the manual production of high quality furniture made from solid wood, and this insistence on manual, artisan work is what sets us apart.
We acquired our first experiences by producing furniture for Dutch and British designers, and we started our own first collection in collaboration with the regional designers in 2007.
Since then, our aim has been to reaffirm the philosophy that guides us with each collection, each piece of wood, with each designer’s vision and diligent craftsmens touch.

First and foremost, I want to say I am pretty much tired mentally and physically yet do not how to boost up myself. But I am human, so just have some fun with knowledge and pray I will be better when I reach the end of the post. Pray for me!
My today topic is much different compared to other posts. Neither programming languages nor Web-related things. Today is about Distributed Computer Systems and I can assure that it is not difficult to grasp as it seems to be.
1. Timing in distributed system
One of the most fundamental concept in distributed system is to manage the order of events – knowing one event happening before the another. To the best of my knowledge, two algorithms were invented to solve such thing are Lamport and Vector clock.
1.1 Lamport clock
Lamport timestamp or Lamport clock is an algorithm named under its creator, Lessie Lamport. Lamport clock is used to determine the partial ordering the events.
Suppose we have 3 different processes P0, P1, P2 in the system. By following Lamport rules, every processes P0, P1, P2 will maintain a single Lamport clock, says t. Whenever a event sends a message to the receiver, it will necessarily attach its timestamp along with its message.
The first rule is for every internal event inside the process, the clock t will be increased by 1 as illustrated in the Figure 1 with the process P0 and its events a, b, c, d…
t:= t + 1
The second rule is whenever the receiver receives the message, it will try to compare its current timestamp with the attached timestamp of the message, and after that the value will be increased by 1. Mathematically, we say
t:= max(currentTimestamp, messageTimestamp) + 1 where
currentTimestamp: the current timestamp of the receiver
messageTimestamp: the attached timestamp of the message
In the Figure 1, event k is the receipt of the sending message of event f of the process P0. Following the first rule, we can say that the timestamp of event k should be 2. However, because event k is the receiver, we have to consider the second rule in this case. In detail, the attached timestamp of f is 6, and the computation
t := max(2 = currentTimestamp, 6 = messageTimestamp) + 1
simply yields 7. Thus, we have timestamp of k is 7. Easy enough?
1. 2 Vector clock
Vector clock works in a little different manner compared to Lamport clock. Origin from mathematics, vector demonstrates the displacement from point to point. For example, vector AB [x,y,z] from point A(0,0,0) to point B(3, 4, 5) in 3D space. So, you can image vector clock is such an array in which each process is a list item.
Formally, vector clock is an array of integer instead of Lamport clocks’s unique integer. Reuse the above example, we will have a vector clock as following.
I will now explain rules of the Vector clock algorithms step by step by using the example.
First of all, every processes will have single vector, says vp[N] where N is the number of processes. In our case, P0, P1, P2 will have vectors (0, 0, 0) at the beginning. And whenever the event start sending message, it necessarily attach its vector clock to the message in the same way as we see in Lamport clock.
Secondly, for every internal event of the same process, the timestamp will be increased by 1. Take a look at events a, b, c, d… of process P0, the according timestamps are (1, 0, 0), (2, 0, 0)… respectively.
vp[p] := vp[p] + 1 where p is the current process.
Thirdly, whenever the receiver receives the message, it will compare the value as same as Lamport.
vp[i] := max(currentVector[i], receivedVector[i])
Event k, for example, is supposed to have the vector clock (0, 0, 2). However, when it receives the message from the event f, the third rule executes, which makes the vector of k is (6, 1, 2).
