All expressions are evaluated with (at least) 32 bit precision. An expression may contain constant values and any combination of internal and external symbols. Expressions that cannot be evaluated at assembly time are stored inside the object file for evaluation by the linker. Expressions referencing imported symbols must always be evaluated by the linker.
Sometimes, the assembler must know about the size of the value that is the result of an expression. This is usually the case, if a decision has to be made, to generate a zero page or an absolute memory references. In this case, the assembler has to make some assumptions about the result of an expression:
Note: If the assembler is not able to evaluate the expression at assembly time, the linker will evaluate it and check for range errors as soon as the result is known.
In the context of a boolean expression, any non zero value is evaluated as
true, any other value to false. The result of a boolean expression is 1 if
it's true, and zero if it's false. There are boolean operators with extreme
low precedence with version 2.x (where x > 0). The .AND
and .OR
operators are shortcut operators. That is, if the result of the expression is
already known, after evaluating the left hand side, the right hand side is
not evaluated.
Sometimes an expression must evaluate to a constant without looking at any
further input. One such example is the
.IF
command
that decides if parts of the code are assembled or not. An expression used in
the .IF
command cannot reference a symbol defined later, because the
decision about the .IF
must be made at the point when it is read. If the
expression used in such a context contains only constant numerical values,
there is no problem. When unresolvable symbols are involved it may get harder
for the assembler to determine if the expression is actually constant, and it
is even possible to create expressions that aren't recognized as constant.
Simplifying the expressions will often help.
In cases where the result of the expression is not needed immediately, the assembler will delay evaluation until all input is read, at which point all symbols are known. So using arbitrary complex constant expressions is no problem in most cases.

NOTE! This article is in development and is using a temporary URL. It is not safe to refer to it or use the information it contains.
This article describes how keyboards interact with Unicode text, particularly cursor movement using arrow keys, text selection, and text deletion. It is intended to help specification authors and implementers understand how to document and build APIs related to these topics on the Web.
The Unicode Standard provides some implementation guidance, but this description is subject to interpretation. For example, Version 12.0, Section 5.11 say, in part:
In some cases, editing a user-perceived “character” or visual cluster element by element may be the preferred way. For example, a system might have the backspace key delete by using the underlying code point, while the delete key could delete an entire cluster. Moreover, because of the way keyboards and input method editors are implemented, there often may not be a one-to-one relationship between what the user thinks of as a character and the key or key sequence used to input it.
There are four different (yet related) ways in which text selection and navigation interact with keyboards. In some cases, these different modes also apply to other selection mechanisms (such as using a pointing device such as a mouse or using a touch-based interface). This article describes these different modes, using examples from various languages and scripts that illustrate the corner cases.
Cursor movement or "cursoring" is the process of moving through text using cursor keys on a physical keyboard. This is different from using a mouse or other pointing instrument (such as your finger in a touch interface).
Text selection is the progressive process of selecting at the character level. Text selection on modern systems is done contiguously in memory, using the logical order of characters. When working with bidirectional text, this can produce multiple regions of highlighted text on the screen, although the characters are always adjacent in memory. (Some user interfaces also provide word-by-word or sentence-by-sentence selection, which we won't concern ourselves with here.)
Backwards deletion deletes the text that is logically before the cursor (to the left of the cursor in left-to-right text such as French or Chinese; to the right of the cursor in right-to-left runs of text, such as found in Arabic or Hebrew). Backwards deletion is most often associated with the "backspace" key on a keyboard. (In this article we'll refer to this as "backspace" or "backspacing".)
Forwards deletion deletes text that is logically after the cursor (that is, in the opposite direction to the backspace key). Forwards deletion is often associated with the "delete" key present on some keyboards. (In this article we'll refer to this as "delete" or "deleting".)
Generally speaking, most text navigation and editing follows the user-perceived character boundaries. For most implementations this corresponds to Unicode's definition of "default extended grapheme cluster" boundaries [UAX29]. The main exception to this is backspacing, which usually follows logical character boundaries in the underlying encoded text. For the simplest scripts and languages, these often amount to the same thing.
Cursor movement, in the context of this document, refers to the use of the arrow keys on a physical keyboard (or their virtual equivalent). One thing to note is that the arrow keys (left, right, up, and down) always refer to the same visual direction, regardless of the direction or writing mode of the text.
Cursoring starts by positioning the cursor in the text, such as by clicking with the mouse. When cursoring in horizontal text, the left arrow button on a keyboard always moves the cursor one visual character to the left, while the right arrow does the same in the opposite direction. The up and down arrows move the cursor up or down a row of text respectively.
In vertical text, the left arrow moves left one row and the right arrow right one row, while up and down arrows move one visual character up or down in the row of text.
Text selection begins much like cursoring, by positioning the cursor at the start (or end) of the desired text and then selecting to the other end of the desired text. This can be done using a pointing instrument, such as a mouse, or using keyboard gestures such as holding "shift" and cursoring through the text. Unlike cursoring, text selection is constrained by the need to select logical characters, so a different number of keystrokes or gestures may be required compared to simple cursoring. This is particularly true for bidirectional text.
Selection using a pointing device, such as a mouse, is subtly different in most implementations than using the cursor keys to extend a selection. When using a pointing device, the selection is entirely logical, between the start and end point of the selection. At least on most physical keyboards, the user can access text selection, usually by holding down the "shift" key while cursoring in the text. As noted before, the cursor keys always move visually and in the indicated direction of the key. For certain bidirectional texts this can mean that the entire text cannot be selected via the cursor keys alone!
Selecting, cursoring, and deleting text in Unicode is also complicated by the use of combining characters. When the visual units of text map 1:1 to characters in the memory of the computer, then cursor movement, selection, and deletion traverse the text a character at a time. However, some languages and scripts use multiple characters to compose a single user-perceived character (which we call a grapheme cluster or grapheme for short). When this is the case, the relationship between cursor movement and delete or backspace functions becomes more complex.
For example, the Hindi word for Unicode यूनिकोड
is composed of seven Unicode characters from the Devanagari script.
Most users would identify this word as containing four units of text. Each of the first three graphemes consists of two characters: a syllable and a modifying vowel character (the last grapheme contains only a single character). So the word contains seven Unicode characters, but only four graphemes:
| Word | यूनिकोड | ||||||
| Graphemes | यू | नि | को | ड | |||
| Code Points | य | ू | न | ि | क | ो | ड |
| U+092F | U+0942 | U+0928 | U+093F | U+0915 | U+094B | U+0921 |
Cursor movement in this Hindi word matches the Unicode grapheme cluster boundaries in both the forward and reverse direction:
Usually cursor movement is expected to follow the boundaries of user-perceived characters, since users generally expect such movement to follow their perceptions. In addition, text selection captures complete graphemes, since a common operation is to copy a sequence of characters, possibly for later insertion elsewhere. Users don't expect to capture only a portion of a user-perceived character, nor do they want a cut operation to join any remaining combining marks with unrelated character sequences originally separated by some of the source text.
Forward deletion works the same way. If the user positions the cursor at the start of the Hindi word and presses the "delete" key four times, the entire word is removed, one grapheme at a time, like this:
Backspace, however, sometimes works differently. In this case, positioning the cursor after the same Hindi word and pressing backspace requires 7 key presses in order to erase the entire word as the characters are erased one Unicode code point at a time:
One reason suggested for the difference between delete and backspace behavior is that removing the base character (which is always the first character in a Unicode character sequence, and thus the first code point encountered in forward deletion) usually consumes any combining marks associated with it. That way combining marks associated with the base character aren't left over to combine with the preceeding sequence of characters, or, if there were no preceeding characters, be "orphaned" and form an invalid sequence.
Backspace, meanwhile, can safely remove combining characters hanging from a given base character without causing other characters in the character sequence to change meaning. One reason sometimes attributed for this behavior is that it allows characters that have been "built-up" using multiple keypresses or other input mechanisms to be corrected without retyping the whole sequence.
Tamil presents the same concept in a visually more striking way. The syllable 'ko' consists of a two character sequence (U+0B95 U+0BCB), which looks as if it is made of three units. What's more the base character is the one in the middle. These characters still behave the same as those in Hindi (or other languages): cursoring, selection, and forward deletion move over the pair as a single unit. Backspacing deletes the combining mark first:
INSERT TAMIL HERE
Indic scripts, such as the Devanagari and Tamil examples above, are not the only scripts affected by this. The same can be found for combining marks in many languages. For example, the first cluster in this Thai word: คืออะไร
. [get better example; demonstrate middle cursor deletion effects in Thai]
Some character sequences can be written in either a "composed" or a "decomposed" forms that affect how selection and deletion performs. For example, Korean characters can be written in either a precomposed form or using a sequence of combining marks (called jamo). Here's one example:
| Composed | Decoposed |
| 각 | 각 |
| ᄀ ᅡ ᆨ | |
| U+AC01 | U+1100 U+1161 U+11A8 |
When written in the precomposed form, each Korean character remains atomic for all operations. When composed from jamo, most systems allow backspacing into the character (while treating the character as atomic for selection and forward deletion).
Korean is just an example of this. Ones that are less common in real life but are sometimes used as examples also help illustrate this mysterious "character duality". While most Latin script text with accents is encoded as precomposed characters, it is possible to encode most characters as a base character with one or more combining marks. When this decomposed sequence is used, the behavior is similar to the Korean: cursor, text selection, and forward deletion include the base character and all of its associated accents, while backspacing deletes the combining marks one-at-a-time before the base character is reached.
For example, the character U+01FA Latin Capital Letter A with Ring Above and Acute can also be composed as the sequence U+0041 U+030A U+0301. Both behave like a single letter for selection and deletion, but backspacing reveals the decomposed structure of the latter:
There are also exceptions to these general rules.
For example, depending on your platform, emoji sequences sometimes behave as if they were atomic characters. For example, a "family" emoji such as 👨👩👧👧, when it is composed as an emoji sequence (here it is U+1F468 U+200D U+1F469 U+200D U+1F467 U+200D U+1F467), might be treated for selection as well as both forwards and backwards deletion as a single unit of text, while on other platforms the individual characters might be accessible to both the cursor and deletion.
Another counter case appears in some Indic script langauges where some conjuncts are formed with multiple base characters. An example from the Devanagari script is the syllable kshi (क्षि) which is formed using the sequence U+0915 U+094D U+0937 U+093F. The characters U+0915 and U+0937 are both base characters and technically this forms two grapheme clusters. However, in many fonts (and to many users) this character sequence forms a single "shape" perceived to be a single unit of text. In spite of this perception, though, the user can both cursor into the conjunct and forward delete only a part of the sequence.

A large portion of the software engineering world has moved away from large monolithic software designs. Instead of having tightly-coupled systems, the modern trend in software is to create multiple smaller, independent microservices. This allows different microservices to be responsible for different functionality in the greater system. The only thing that a consumer of a microservice is concerned with is the interface that the microservice exposes. Typically these microservices communicate with each other via HTTP requests.
Since microservices are typically small, decoupled units, they are perfect candidates for continuous deployment pipelines. With a continuous integration and deployment pipeline, code gets pushed straight to QA or Production when it compiles and the unit tests pass. There are several Continuous Integration tools for Java. The two most-used tools are TeamCity and Jenkins. These tools typically check out the code from the repository when it is updated, executes the build script (Maven, Gradle, Ant etc.) and if all the tests pass and the code compiles, the build passes. In general it is beneficial to have a notification set up that notifies the relevant parties if a build fails. The earlier the team can know there is a problem with a commit, the faster it can be fixed.
While there are many fully-featured tools for Continuous Integration, the continuous delivery part of the pipeline lacks a standard set of tools that provide the functionality we are looking for out of the box. Below you will see a flow diagram of what the pipeline should look like at a conceptual level:
In our organization I have set up notifications via a dedicated Slack channel. The notification messages typically look like this when a build passes:
When the build fails, you get a horrible-looking red cross like this:
Using these notifications, the whole team is on the pulse and everyone takes notice when builds fail.
On the server itself, I run a deployment HTTP server written in Python with Flask. This server exposes REST endpoints that are password-protected which can be called in order to initiate the deployment of the respective microservices. Each microservice will have its own endpoint and the build type (QA or Production) is passed as an argument to the HTTP server. From TeamCity, this service is called using curl
from a shell script that is configured to run when the build passes.
TeamCity exposes the binary artifacts created during the build step via a web service. From the QA or Production servers, these artifacts can be downloaded using wget
for the specified build configuration. After the artifact(s) are downloaded, the microservice is restarted on the server.

A student has asked me how to prove example (P Q : Prop) : (¬ Q → ¬ P) → (P → Q)
and library_search
is failing me :-) What's this function called?
What if you assume Q
is decidable and try again?
by contrapose!, ...
?
I'm assuming everything's decidable!
example (P Q : Prop) [decidable P] [decidable Q] : (¬ Q → ¬ P) → (P → Q) := begin library_search,
still fails!
contrapose!, exact (and_comm _ _).1,
works :-/
by tauto!
It is a tautology after all :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
And contrapose!, library_search
works too
Even by tauto
works
and apply not_imp_not
works too
Looks like almost any random sequence of characters works then.
That sounds like the right conclusion to draw
apply not_imp_not
doesn't work, it's an iff, and I think you hit the apply bug if you use .1
. exact not_imp_not.1
works.
Oh, have you tried apply'
?
apply'
leaves you with a mess.
4 goals P Q : Prop, _inst_1 : decidable P, _inst_2 : decidable Q ⊢ ¬((¬Q → ¬P) → P → Q) → ¬?m_1 P Q : Prop, _inst_1 : decidable P, _inst_2 : decidable Q ⊢ ?m_1 P Q : Prop, _inst_1 : decidable P, _inst_2 : decidable Q ⊢ Prop P Q : Prop, _inst_1 : decidable P, _inst_2 : decidable Q ⊢ decidable ((¬Q → ¬P) → P → Q)
simp [not_imp_not]
works
Why are you all still writing random sequences of characters
I sort of lost track of what we are trying to do.
Heh. cc
works.
Also, isn't library_search supposed to be able to apply iff lemmas?
Isn't it a contest about finding as many proofs are possible?
I think the problem is with apply
, not library_search
.
by finish
by clarify
by safe
tidy
takes a long time and reduces the goal to proving Q
, that's not so good.
Did I win?
by cc
is the shortest!
Can we write a shorter proof still?
meta def i : tactic unit := `[cc] example (P Q : Prop) [decidable P] [decidable Q] : (¬ Q → ¬ P) → (P → Q) := by i
Nah, the auxiliary def counts.
Does that count as shorter? You have to write a definition first
Let me open some PR.
and
apply not_imp_not
works too
Chris is here and he swore blind that something with not_imp_not should work -- I don't know why it didn't show up. What I don't understand is why library_search
doesn't help
I think that library_search
doesn't break iffs into implications
library_search
doesn't work because of the apply
bug. I'm not sure if it uses apply'
instead, but it doesn't matter, because apply'
is broken here too.
It doesn't use apply'
I think that
library_search
doesn't break iffs into implications
I think it does. The tactic is definitely doing something with iff
s.
There was a time when it didn't, though
It tries iff
s in the reverse direction
constants A B : Prop axiom ax : A ↔ B example : A → B := by library_search example : B → A := by library_search
both work.
Ok, I give up
the problem is the decidable instances probably
is classical.dec
in the context / a local instance?
It was sometimes, and it wasn't sometimes. I think it wasn't when I made the props decidable. Before that I was just using the classical
tactic before library_search
and it still didn't work.
constants A B : Prop axiom ax : A ↔ B example : A → B := by library_search example : B → A := by library_searchboth work.
Currently example : B ↔ A := by library_search
doesn't work, and I would like to fix this.
@Scott Morrison
Not sure if this is related, but in mathlib rev c5d91, the following fails when I would have expected it to find not_not
:
example (p : Prop) [decidable p] : (¬¬p) → p := by library_search
failed state: p : Prop, _inst_1 : decidable p |- ¬¬p → p
Actually this also fails, but some how succeeds in finding MyAx if I change both to (¬¬p ↔ p)
.
axiom MyAx (p : Prop) [decidable p] : (¬¬p) → p example (p : Prop) [decidable p] : (¬¬p) → p := by library_search

How the pound could react to a Tory General Election victory
by Harry RobertsonBuffeted by Brexit and a global economic slowdown, the pound has had a wild ride in 2019.
Now, City economists believe sterling is at a crossroads, with the upcoming General Election poised to send sterling soaring – or diving.
A Conservative majority could fire the pound above $1.40, analysts said, but a Labour victory may plunge it to a 35-year low of below $1.15.
Read more: Donald Trump will visit the UK ahead of the General Election
The pound has lost around 15 per cent of its value since the 2016 Brexit vote. In August it hit a low of $1.20 it has not seen since the 1980s (excluding 2016’s so-called flash crash) when it looked as though new Prime Minister Boris Johnson was gunning for a no-deal Brexit.
Sterling has since rebounded somewhat to around $1.28, however, after Johnson struck a new Brexit deal with the European Union and called a General Election to try to win a majority big enough to steer it through parliament.
“I would expect a move towards the $1.40 area” should Johnson succeed, says Michael Hewson of trading platform CMC Markets.
Ruth Lea, economic adviser to Arbuthnot Banking Group, tells City A.M.: “The worst scenario [for sterling] is a Labour government.” She said the pound could “sink to $1.15 or lower,” driving up the cost of the imports the economy relies on.
Other analysts were less pessimistic about a Labour victory, arguing that the party’s radicalism would likely be kept in check as a minority government. It has also pledged to hold a second referendum – an idea currency traders like.
Here are the most likely election outcomes and what City economists think they would do to the pound.
General election outcome 1
A Conservative majority
An outright Tory victory is the most likely outcome of the election. The public is a much bigger fan of Johnson than of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the party is ahead in the polls.
Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage’s decision to call off his candidates in 317 Tory-held seats has also given the PM a boost.
Analysts tell City A.M. a Tory win would boost sterling, likely pushing it up to between $1.35 and $1.40. It would make leaving with a Brexit deal almost certain, providing the certainty that investors have long been desperate for.
Hewson says the best scenario for sterling would be if the Tories “manage to push through the Withdrawal Agreement and make speedy progress with respect to sorting out the future relationship”.
| Nomura | CMC | Capital Economics | TS Lombard | Arbuthnot | IG | |
| Tory majority | $1.34 | $1.40 | $1.35 | $1.35-$1.40 | $1.35 | $1.35-40 |
Business investment has slumped in 2019, as firms have held off on spending until more certainty emerged. Johnson’s deal includes a transition period until the end of 2020, during which firms are likely to release some money.
Yet Oliver Brennan, a FX and macro strategist at consultancy TS Lombard, is cautious: “A strong Tory showing implies a new wave of Eurosceptic MPs.”
“The deal itself is actually a hard Brexit,” he says, adding that if Johnson “will not be looking for an extension, then we will be looking at a guaranteed hard Brexit by the end of 2020”.
He said the pound would likely go to $1.35 or $1.40, adding: “I would be a seller above $1.40… as the market will have to discount increased trade frictions again.”

General election outcome 2
A Labour majority
Although an outright Labour victory is unlikely, the lesson of recent elections and referendums has been that modern politics is far from predictable.
A Labour majority would give the party free rein to implement its radical economic agenda. This could send the rich scrambling to withdraw money from the country.
Lea says markets would “have to face up to the prospect of dealing with an anti-capitalist, fiscally irresponsible government”.
Hewson predicted the pound would “at the very least move through $1.20 to towards $1.10” if Labour enacted all its pledges. They include seizing 10 per cent of big firms to hand over to workers, and re-nationalising water companies, the railways, parts of BT and Royal Mail.

Yet Jordan Rochester, FX strategist at financial services firm Nomura, said Labour’s policy to hold a second Brexit referendum would be a “big positive”.
| Nomura | CMC | Capital Economics | TS Lombard | Arbuthnot | |
| Labour majority | $1.16 | $1.10-20 | $1.25 | $1.25-30 | $1.15 |
Labour has said it would try to renegotiate a Brexit deal to be more closely-aligned with the EU – something investors are by and large keen on – and then put the deal to the public, with an option to remain.
Ruth Gregory, senior UK economist at consultancy Capital Economics, said that “a softish Brexit under a Labour government that could potentially implement policies designed to squeeze profits” would likely see the pound fall slightly to $1.25.
However, Rochester said a second referendum boost would in the short term “get outweighed by a Labour budget”, sending the pound down to around $1.16.

General election outcome 3
A hung parliament
Johnson called the election to try to cut the Brexit Gordian knot and finally get a deal through parliament, but the poll could bring about another deadlock.
The Tories look set to lose seats to the Scottish National Party (SNP) in Scotland and may well fail to take enough seats off Labour in the north to secure a majority.
Brennan said a “Conservative minority government propped up by the Brexit Party and Democratic Unionist Party (DUP)” would be the worst outcome for sterling as it could lead to a no-deal Brexit, sending the pound to $1.20.
Joshua Mahony, market analyst at trader IG, agreed. He said that “any greater influence from hard-line Brexiteers” could scupper a free-trade deal with the EU, hurting the pound.

Rochester said a Labour minority government, with its more radical instincts limited by a coalition, would likely see sterling fall to $1.25 in the near term.
Hewson warned that if Labour “are propped up by the SNP another Scottish referendum could well be a possibility”.
“Either way likely to be sterling negative with the only unknown being the degree.”

Web design can make or break a brand or business and it is extremely important that both be strong and convey the correct message to users and customers.
When designing a website I try to keep in mind that we are trying to promote a brand, a message and an image to the viewer that will give them a lasting impression of you or your company. So everything from the clean design feel, to the actual functionality of the site should reflect what you or your business is all about.
Good website design will let your users navigate to the correct pages when they want as well as let them do it quickly and easily. There will be consistency of style and brand so users are never confused as to what you do and why you have a web presence. Most importantly, good website design builds trust in your customers that your business is serious about providing them with the best quality in all areas including giving a great first impression with your website's impeccable design.


A constructor is unnecessary if it is the only constructor of a class, has no parameters, has the same access modifier as its containing class, and does not perform any initialization except explicitly or implicitly calling the superclass constructor without arguments. Such a constructor can be safely removed as it will be generated by the compiler even if not specified.
Example:
public class Foo {
public Foo() {}
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
public class Foo {}
Use the inspection settings to ignore unnecessary constructors that have an annotation.

| SUMMARY: NESTED | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
Represents a request that is being sent and the corresponding response received in reply.
An OutboundRequest
can be used to write out the
contents of the request and to read in the response.
The communication protocol used by the implementation of this
interface must guarantee that for each instance of this interface,
any request data must only be delivered to the recipient (in the
form of an InboundRequest
passed to RequestDispatcher.dispatch
) at most
once. The getDeliveryStatus
method
can be used to determine whether or not at least partial delivery
of the request might have occurred.
When finished using an OutboundRequest
, in order to
allow the implementation to free resources associated with the
request, users should either invoke close
on the
streams returned by the getRequestOutputStream
and
getResponseInputStream
methods, or invoke the
abort
method.
InboundRequest
| Method Summary | |
void |
abort()
Terminates this request, freeing all associated resources. |
boolean |
getDeliveryStatus()
Returns false if it is guaranteed that no data
written for this request has been processed by the recipient.
|
OutputStream |
getRequestOutputStream()
Returns an OutputStream to write the request data
to. |
InputStream |
getResponseInputStream()
Returns an InputStream to read the response data
from. |
InvocationConstraints |
getUnfulfilledConstraints()
Returns the requirements that must be at least partially implemented by higher layers in order to fully satisfy the requirements for this request. |
void |
populateContext(Collection context)
Populates the supplied collection with context information representing this request. |
| Method Detail |
public void populateContext(Collection context)
context
- the context collection to populate
NullPointerException
- if context
is
null
UnsupportedOperationException
- if context
is unmodifiable and if any elements need to be addedpublic InvocationConstraints getUnfulfilledConstraints()
For any given constraint, there must be a clear delineation
of which aspects (if any) must be implemented by the transport
layer. This method must not return a constraint (as a
requirement or a preference, directly or as an element of
another constraint) unless this request implements all of those
aspects. Also, this method must not return a constraint for
which all aspects must be implemented by the transport layer.
Most of the constraints in the net.jini.core.constraint
package must be fully implemented by the transport layer and
thus must not be returned by this method; the one exception is
Integrity
, for which the transport layer is responsible
for the data integrity aspect and higher layers are responsible
for the code integrity aspect.
For any ConstraintAlternatives
in the constraints
for this request, this method should only return a
corresponding constraint if all of the alternatives satisfied
by this request need to be at least partially implemented by
higher layers in order to be fully satisfied.
public OutputStream getRequestOutputStream()
OutputStream
to write the request data
to. The sequence of bytes written to the returned stream will
be the sequence of bytes sent as the body of this request.
After the entirety of the request has been written to the
stream, the stream's close
method must be invoked
to ensure complete delivery of the request. It is possible
that none of the data written to the returned stream will be
delivered before close
has been invoked (even if
the stream's flush
method had been invoked at any
time). Note, however, that some or all of the data written to
the stream may be delivered to (and processed by) the recipient
before the stream's close
method has been invoked.
After the stream's close
method has been
invoked, no more data may be written to the stream; writes
subsequent to a close
invocation will fail with an
IOException
.
If this method is invoked more than once, it will always return the identical stream object that it returned the first time (although the stream may be in a different state than it was upon return from the first invocation).
public InputStream getResponseInputStream()
InputStream
to read the response data
from. The sequence of bytes produced by reading from the
returned stream will be the sequence of bytes received as the
response data. When the entirety of the response has been
successfully read, reading from the stream will indicate an
EOF.
Users of an OutboundRequest
must not expect any
data to be available from the returned stream before the
close
method has been invoked on the stream
returned by getRequestOutputStream
; in other
words, the user's request/response protocol must not require
any part of a request to be a function of any part of its
response.
It is possible, however, for data to be available from the
returned stream before the close
method has been
invoked on, or even before the entirety of the request has been
written to, the stream returned by
getRequestOutputStream
. Because such an early
response might indicate, depending on the user's
request/response protocol, that the recipient will not consider
the entirety of the request, perhaps due to an error or other
abnormal condition, the user may wish to process it
expeditiously, rather than continuing to write the remainder of
the request.
Invoking the close
method of the returned
stream will cause any subsequent read operations on the stream
to fail with an IOException
, although it will not
terminate this request as a whole; in particular, the request
may still be subsequently written to the stream returned by the
getRequestOutputStream
method. After
close
has been invoked on both the returned stream
and the stream returned by getRequestOutputStream
,
the implementation may free all resources associated with this
request.
If this method is invoked more than once, it will always return the identical stream object that it returned the first time (although the stream may be in a different state than it was upon return from the first invocation).
public boolean getDeliveryStatus()
false
if it is guaranteed that no data
written for this request has been processed by the recipient.
This guarantee remains valid until any subsequent I/O operation
has been attempted on this request.
If this method returns true
, then data written for
this request may have been at least partially processed by the
recipient (the RequestDispatcher
receiving the
corresponding InboundRequest
).
false
if data written for this request has
definitely not been processed by the recipient, and
true
if data written for this request may have
been at least partially processed by the recipientpublic void abort()
This method may be invoked at any stage of the processing of the request.
After this method has been invoked, I/O operations on the
streams returned by the getRequestOutputStream
and
getResponseInputStream
methods will fail with an
IOException
, except some operations that may
succeed because they only affect data in local I/O buffers.
If this method is invoked before the close
method has been invoked on the stream returned by
getRequestOutputStream
, there is no guarantee that
any or none of the data written to the stream so far will be
delivered; the implication of such an invocation of this method
is that the user is no longer interested in the successful
delivery of the request.

In this chapter, we would add background music to the game and play sound effect when the hero fires bullets.
Because there is so few codes to add that we could say a little more about audio engine here. Cocos2d-x has wrapped SimpleAudioEngine to cross platforms. In our game, we are able to play music and sound effect using only one line of codes. It is so convenient. Of course, audio formats supported in different platform are different, about this issue, you could refer to Audio_formats_supported_by_CocosDenshion_on_different_platforms.
Now let's get right to the issues. First, copy the sound files background-music-aac.wav and pew-pew-lei.wav to the Resource directory. We use wav here because wav is supported in all platforms and these two files have been included in the Cocos2dSimpleGame project, you could download them from the bottom of this page. Then include SimpleaudioEngine.h in HelloWorldScene.cpp.
// cpp with cocos2d-x
#include "SimpleAudioEngine.h"
Add the background music in init().
// cpp with cocos2d-x
CocosDenshion::SimpleAudioEngine::sharedEngine()->playBackgroundMusic(
"background-music-aac.wav", true);
And play the sound effect in ccTouchesEnded() when the bullet is fired.
// cpp with cocos2d-x
CocosDenshion::SimpleAudioEngine::sharedEngine()->playEffect(
"pew-pew-lei.wav");

I took a jar, probably about 6 inches tall and 2.5 inches in diameter and filled it as much as possible w/ mostly dried foliage from California Poppies. They grow everywhere on my property so I figured I would try them out to see if they were a worthwhile drug. I then filled the jar with isopropyl alcohol (99%) and let it sit for probably about 1 month, shaking it once a day. After one month, I took the lid off of the jar, and I took out all the plant gunk and squeezed off all the alcohol into the jar. The mixture looked a bit green/brown.
I let the alcohol jar sit out until ALL of it dissolved. What was left in the bottom was a brown/black gooey tarlike substance. I then put this on top of some dried out california poppy foliage, as I would with hash and Marijuana, and smoked it out of a bong. I smoked one bowl, and felt very mild effects, just felt relaxed, but nothing special. I continued smoking a few more bowls, and then adding the gooey stuff on top without much more effect.
I would say that it did relax me more then normal, but nothing else, not even a marijuana like high or anything. I wouldn't do this again because it was too much work for too little results.

Idebenone is the analogue of CoQ10, it has powerful antioxidant properties resulting in less cell and tissue damages.Unlike vitamin and botanical antioxidants, Idebenone is a respiratory chain antioxidant, which can correct the signs of aging while offering the highest protection against harmful environmental free radical stress with an Environmental Protection Factor of EPF 95, the highest rating of all antioxidants tested.
Only antioxidants can scavenge free radicals to help prevent damage and premature aging of your skin EPF (Environmental Protection Factor) is the certification standard to assess the topical protection capacity of antioxidants to protect the skin from free radical mediated environmental oxidative stress.

Speech
The Secretary of State for Education and Minister for Women and Equalities on increasing opportunities for women in the top education jobs.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and thank you Alison for that kind introduction.
Great to be here at Newton Prep School this morning.

It’s a real pleasure to see so many of you here. It’s only just over a week after International Women’s Day, so I’m glad that empowering women, the theme of today’s conference, to succeed at the highest level is still top of the agenda for so many.
Certainly, it’s remained at the forefront of the government’s priorities over recent years.
There have been so many steps forward for women - and our successes over the last few years have been vital in helping women to succeed:
there are more women in work than ever before
of those women, more are in full-time work than ever before
we’ve cut tax for 11.9 million women…and we’re introducing tax-free childcare, and we’re offering more free hours of childcare, to more children
A huge leap in the right direction.
But to focus solely on these headline level successes would be doing a disservice to all those hard-working women that we know are still disadvantaged because of their gender.
Of course, as Education Secretary and also as Minister for Women and Equalities, I would have a particular interest in teaching. But I think it’s a profession that does deserve scrutiny. It’s certainly one with an interesting history.
Looking back over the last couple of centuries in the UK, teaching has at times been a very gendered profession. From the first formal schools for boys, run by schoolmasters and religious leaders, to the Victorian-era village schools run by schoolma’ams and headmistresses, we’ve changed our mind plenty of times over the years on who we think can best educate our children.

And that’s why I love my job, because it is all about the future. Working with young people and securing the future of our country.
But that being said - recent data shows that disparity does still exist. The vast majority of our teachers - 75% - are female. That rises to nearly 90% in primary schools. But only 66% of our headteachers are female - meaning there’s a much lower progression rate for women than for men.
Specifically, at secondary school, where the majority of teachers are female, the majority of headteachers - almost two-thirds - are male. And at primary school, where men make up just over 10% of teachers, almost 3 in 10 headteachers are male. So we see that progression to leadership positions and the top jobs doesn’t reflect the number of people joining the profession and working as classroom teachers.
And for those women who do break down barriers and overcome hurdles to reach the top positions, the issues don’t end at the door to the headteacher’s office. Because the gender pay gap for teachers - seen throughout all levels of the profession - only widens with seniority.
So there are clearly 2 problems for women here. A lower proportion of female teachers move through to leadership positions than their male counterparts. And the median salary for women teachers and headteachers is less than for male teachers and headteachers.
We know that there are a number of factors at play here, including: school size, age of teachers, length of contract and also the geography where the school is located. We have a duty to make sure that gender isn’t one of these factors; that it has absolutely no role in determining how much teachers or school leaders get paid.
A key part of this government’s plan for education is ensuring there is strong leadership in schools to ensure the best outcomes for pupils. Strong leadership must, of course, be diverse. That’s why my department promotes talent management in schools to increase the diversity of the leadership population, and we work closely with schools, academies and teaching school alliances.
One cause of the current pay gap is the structure of our existing workforce, including the distribution of male and female teachers across different schools. We know that female leadership teachers are more likely to work in primary schools than secondary schools, and primary schools are often smaller, leading to lower salaries.
We also know that the historic system of automatic pay progression contributed to pay differences. Female teachers, much more likely to take parental leave or career breaks, were disadvantaged, whilst their male counterparts, working without breaks, continued to accrue automatic pay increases. I just don’t think this is fair. A woman who’s taken a year, or even a few years, out to have children and raise a family certainly isn’t less capable as a teacher who hasn’t had this time away from the classroom. We need to do much more to support these talented women who have so much to offer, and want to return to the workplace later on in life.
That’s why I’m pleased that our recent reforms to teachers’ pay should mitigate this often unfair salary discrepancy.
Automatic progression has been abolished. And so has the requirement for schools to match teachers’ previous salaries when recruiting. Both of these changes mean that schools now have the freedom to pay higher salaries if they choose - the salaries that they feel match a teacher’s experience, performance, and potential, rather than the years they’ve spent teaching.
I’m also pleased that the National College for Teaching and Leadership continues to fund a wide range of local and national programmes to address the under-representation of BME and female leaders in schools. The programme currently being funded is the Leadership Equality and Diversity Fund - helping 30 school-led partnerships to deliver equality and diversity projects. I’m delighted that the fund will continue into this year and that it’s now open for applications until mid-April. I would urge everyone here today to consider putting their school forward and applying over the coming month.
My department also funds the Future Leaders Trust, helping to develop the skills of high-potential aspiring headteachers who want to work in some of the most challenging schools in the country. Fifteen percent of current participants on the High Potential Leaders programme are from a black and minority ethnic background and at least 50% of the participants are female.
Women like Dr Jane Keeley, headteacher at Haggerston School, which was declared ‘good’ by Ofsted in 2013 after Jane’s 3 years of hard work as headteacher to turn the school around. Jane describes the Future Leaders programme as ‘a breath of fresh air’ - without it, she’s sure she never would have become a head.
Or like Nadia Paczuska, assistant headteacher of Barham Primary School, and soon to be taking up her first headship having benefitted from the bespoke coaching and high-quality training that the future leaders programme offers.
Both women, with huge amounts of talent, have plenty to offer their schools. Role models to their staff and pupils alike.
And women representative of their dedicated colleagues all over the country - some of whom I’ve had the great privilege of meeting myself.
Carol Hannaford, for example, headteacher at Plymouth’s Stoke Damerel Community College.
Sarah Bailey at ARK Little Ridge Primary Academy in Hastings…Or Erica Mason, acting headteacher at Whitefield Infant School in Pendle.
Certainly not professionals I’d want to see held back by fewer opportunities or unfair pay.
It’s for women like Jane, Nadia, Carol, Sarah and Erica, that we all have a duty to fund the right projects, develop the right policy, ask the right questions.
Because to make sure that tomorrow’s leaders are empowered to go for the top jobs and demand a competitive salary, I want them to be confident that they’ll be considered on an equal footing with their male counterparts.
The women I’ve mentioned - and their colleagues around the country - are crucial role models. They inspire the next generation of women in classrooms. Just last week I spoke to students in Plymouth who told me they aspired to become doctors, midwives, and teachers. So much of that is down to the teaching and leadership in their school.
It’s clear to me that gender has absolutely nothing to do with a teacher’s ability to innovate, inspire, or encourage.
Thank you so much for inviting me to be here. I’m looking forward to taking your questions now.

Money Kings (1999) ** out of *****
Cast: Peter Falk, Lauren Holly, Timothy Hutton, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Tyne Daly, Colm Meaney Directed by: Graham Theakston Running Time: 96 minutes
A depressing and all too familiar tale of gamblers and other assorted low lifes. One of Boston's head mobsters decides one day to "trim the fat" from the organization. As a result, an aging bookie (Peter Falk) is slowly forced out of the business by a young punk in the organization (Freddie Prinze, Jr.).  Predictably, he ends up placing a huge bet and losing, further destroying his family.
Money Kings seems like it would be fairly entertaining, but the situations just keep getting more and more depressing, leading to an obvious conclusion that really won't affect you one way or another. The performances are decent (although Prinze is badly miscast), and there's a fairly good Irish-type score.
Money Kings is available on DVD from Sterling Home Entertainment. It contains the film in it's standard format, and includes the usual cast and crew bios, production notes, and the film's original trailer. [R]

Questions
Where do I begin?
16 August 2015
Since 1999 my technology worklife has centered around automated controls on data flows and content. I most cases, the controls are bolted on as an afterthought, so the process typically begins with an assessment. Which is a fancy word for asking lots of questions. Thus I can claim to have worked many years and earned plenty of money as a professional question asker. Some of the things I learned are simple and intuitive... the trick is not knowing them but rather keeping them in mind. First and foremost, after you receive an answer, confirm that the answer given was for the question asked. Many times, people answer a different question. Second, reconfirm again later in the conversation. It's surprising what seeps into someone's subconscious mind while they're busy answering your other questions. Be specific. In real life, form your questions as specifically as possible and define any terms you use so that you and the responder both have the same understanding. Imagine someone was going to read a transcript of your fact-finding session. Don't assume they know anything, and proceed accordingly to explain what you ask, to clarify the response you get, to attack all of the areas for follow up questions, and in the end, summarize what you believe you have heard and ask for confirmation. Be specific is good advice for web queries as well. For one thing, it will give the persnickty folks less to comment on. "Technically, you should say..." seems annoyingly common in some of the reponder comments on sites like Stack Overflow. Although many are not kind in doing so, they nevertheless make a good point. Your questions should be concise, unambiguous, and as focused as possible. In web searches, think of words you might use to filter your answer and include them. Or exclude them. Only this morning my inital search for a bit of javascript returned many more answers involving "jquery". As far as I know, jquery info is not helpful so I restated the query to exclude and got a more focused set of results. Sadly, none of which solved my problem which apparently was wishful thinking! Now that I've written this far, I went and read the first resource given in the challenge and I think it is an excellent summary. One thing I would add is: use active voice. Instead of "after the array is sorted..." say "after I sort the array...". Active writing is shorter and easier to read. You can read more about active/passive voice but in a nutshell, avoid using "to be".


The J-Score represents the percentile battery life you see relative to all other devices being measured by Carat. So, if you have a J-Score of 50, that means your expected battery life is better than half of our users; a score of 99 means you have better battery life than 99% of our users.
Of course, a single number does not provide a complete description of your battery life. A low J-Score could mean that your device is using a big battery inefficiently or a small battery with average efficiency. Similarly, a high J-Score could simply mean that you don't use your device heavily. Carat computes a huge variety of statistics, and the J-Score is just one of them.

Reports empty branches in a RegExp alternation. For example: a||b
An empty branch will only match the empty string, and in most cases that is not what is desired.
This inspection will not report a single empty branch at the start or the end of an alternation.


The Minibrowser
As its name implies, the Minibrowser is a scaled-down version of the Browser that is contained within the viewer window. It appears on the right hand side of the Viewer and provides a unified interface for selecting items and generating text or graphical views of those items. You can also make queries about selected items, and create groups containing selected items.
You can hide or display the Minibrowser by toggling the display button in the top right corner of the Viewer window. Hiding the Minibrowser can be helpful when you want to maximize the viewing area for items displayed in the left pane of the Viewer.
The Minibrowser contains three menus:
• Query contains a set of queries similar to the Browser’s Ask pane. It enables you to make queries about selected items in the Viewer without having to return to the Browser.
• History contains the titles of all the lists that you have displayed during the current Viewer session.
• Group enables you to create groups containing selected items, and to start the Group Manager.
More information on using the MiniBrowser to query your information model and interact with your source code is presented in see Working With the Minibrowser.


Back
On Ruby Classes
In the example above I define a new class called "Album" and it takes three variables, the title, the artist, and how many records it has sold. The first method of our new class, initialize, will store the input in three different instance variables, respectively. What's neat about instance variables is that we can make them avilable to other methods inside the same class where they were originally initialized.
As you can see we have a second method, "About", and it uses the three variables defined in our initizlize method. The @ notes that a variable is an instance variable, and we can call them at the beginning of a new method to make them available, just as I did.
The About method will use the sales variables to determine the value of a new variable called success_level and then print a sentence that states the name of the album, the name of the artist, saying that it is an awesome album and a different message at the end depending on how many records it sold. For example, if it sold less than 100 the message will be " but it was not very popular".
The method about is an instance method, meaning that it can be called to an object of the class in which it was created. In my example I create a "album1" which is equal to a new instance of Album (using .new on Album) and give it the input ("Blonde on Blonde", "Bob Dylan", 2000000).
I then call the method about on my new object of class Album, album1. The output is:
"Blonde on Blonde is an awesome album by Bob Dylan and it was a massive hit!"
This was a basic example of a class, you can create your own and add more than two methods, in fact, you can have as many as you want. Classes are great for storing relating methods and allow you to handle specific kinds of objects effectively.
I hope this was of help to you and see you the next time!

Menu / Events
Event log:
- {{ev.name}}{{ev.info}}{{ev.value}}
This sample presents most of events that are fired from Menu directive. Depending on action, a specific event is fired, which you can handle by simple creating an event handler. Here is list of events that are supported:
- close - Occurs when sub-menu is closing
- enabledChanged - Occurs when enabled property changes its value
- itemAdding - Occurs before a menu item is added
- itemAdded - Occurs after a menu item is added
- itemClick - Occurs when menu item is clicked
- itemHover - Occurs when mouse cursor hovers over menu item
- itemRemoving - Occurs before menu item is removed
- itemRemoved - Occurs after menu item is removed
- open - Occurs when sub-menu starts to open
- styleChanged - Occurs when control style changes
Depending on some conditions, when handling some of above events you can prevent the default action to proceed, by canceling the operation.
In this sample event log will not register add/remove and style events, because this kind of operations are not demonstrated here.

RK number (see the following description) |
An RK number is either a 30-bit integer or the most significant 30 bits of an IEEE number. The two LSBs of the 32-bit rk field are always reserved for RK type encoding; this is why the RK numbers are 30 bits, not the full 32. See the following diagram.
There are four different RK number types, as described in the following table.

02 F1 85 3B |
Integer x 100 |
Excel always attempts to store a number as an RK number instead of an IEEE number. There is also a specific priority of RK number encoding that the program uses. The following flowchart is a simplified version of the encoding algorithm. The algorithm always begins with an IEEE (full 64-bit) number.
You can use the following C code to demonstrate how to decode RK numbers:
double NumFromRk(long rk) { double num; if(rk & 0x02) { // int num = (double) (rk >> 2); } else { // hi words of IEEE num *((long *)&num+1) = rk & 0xfffffffc; *((long *)&num) = 0; } if(rk & 0x01) // divide by 100 num /= 100; return num; } main() { printf("%f\n", NumFromRk (0x02f1853b)); }
If you write a NUMBER record to a BIFF file, Excel may convert the number to an RK number when it reads the file.


Write a function that returns the maximum number in an array.
A simple way to get started would be to take a variable and then intialize it to the first index of the array. Loop through the array and if the number at the current index is greater than the intialized number at the start, then reinitialized the variable to the number at the current index. After doing this for the entire array, the max number would be saved in the variable. In python, you can use "max" function to get the maximum number in an array!


With a valid connection to Influx DB, Owerview page will display data collected in Influx DB in a similar way as Chronograf do it. It's usefull because telegraf can collect and store statistics from your application to Influx DB all the time. Copper Monitoring UI will collect data(in a limited way) only when it's running in browser and stores data in browsers local storage per each user. Using Influx DB provides you with ability to store your statistics permanently and share data between different users. Fore more information, visit Influx DB
P.S: While you are connected to Influx DB, Copper Monitoring will not collect any data for statistics.
Telegraf collects data and store them to Influx DB. It have Jolokia plugin so you can use it access data from your copper application and store them to create statistics
Next configuration of Jolokia plugin should be used as the Input section of a Telegraf Configuration file. You can use other configuration(for example with different metric names), but then Copper Monitoring might not be able to access data from Influx DB(You still may be able to observe statistics in Chronograf).

--- layout: post title: 'LIFT 2008: A glimpse of Asia' date: 2008-02-07 00:00:00 ---
First up, Mark Laperrouza of EPFL on the current state and latest trends in Chinese telecomms. He's started a non-profit micro-credit fund for students, Bono Pro.
3 major blocks of economics are traditionally Europe, Japan and USA. In fact the two major economies are China and India. Japan and Europe are shrinking populations (I may have misheard this...).
Three basic messages:
Mobile has leapfrogged fixed-line communications. 25% of growth in the last 12 months was in China and India. Mobile is going to be the primary means of Internet access, even for illiterate users. Myanmar: 1% mobile penetration, Hong Kong: 101%. There's massive discrepancies across Asia.
In the US ARPU is $40 average; in China it's $11.
3 of the largest 5 mobile operators are in Asia. China Mobile: 350m customers. Second Vodafone: 200m.
China Mobile set up a mobile network at the Mount Everest base camp! They get 5-6m new customers pcm, 1m are new contracts, 4-5m are PAYG. Estimated 50-100m mobile internet users pcm. Location-based-services launching soon -is there more or less of a privacy issue in China than in more open democracies?
This implies a vast number of handsets, which implies an ecological issue. Nokia etc responded by setting up recycling bins, but as it happens the Chinese are happy to recycle/resell so these aren't getting used so much.
Most people in the developing world never roam more than 90km from where they're born. In developing countries relatively obsolete technologies can still be useful.
The Chinese developed their own 3G standard, TD-SCDMA, to avoid paying royalties to Qualcomm etc. Existing operators don't want this government-imposed standard and Chinese handset manufacturers want to sell their handsets to the rest of the world - so they've favoured 3G and GSM. There are some doubts over whether China will have 3G in time for the Olympic games, thanks to technonationalism. In China and Korea there's strong state involvement with technology.
Shows off: first "feng shui" phone which senses your environment. First mobile with inbuilt cigarette holder. First iphone knock-off, released in China before iPhone was launched.
What are the differences between Chinese and Western mobile usage? Difficult question. Instant messaging is a biggie: they're relatively impatient for responses. In China, it's acceptable to answer telephones during meetings, say.
Bangladesh and Grameen phone: it's microtrading for phones. Most people don't have access to market price information thanks to lack of communication and illiteracy. Knowing pricing can be important in business.
The future of China's economic development, the big task, is raising the level of living standards in the countryside, not the cities - and this is what will make or break "the Chinese miracle".
Two quotes from Wang Janzhou, Chairman China Mobile:
"If someone doesn't have a mobile phone they will lack the basic functions of what it is to be human"
"We know who you are and where you are"
Next speaker, Heewon Kim of Seoul University on youth and social software:
Stats on Korean environment:
Internet culture in Korea is led by appearance of the individual. Cyworld quoted as a good example.
Minihompy: personal home pages. Sometimes used to present candid photos, sometimes they are edited/touched up first (often this is what drives users to learn about photo editing software).
Beyond self-expression, self-branding: an archive of everyday life, diaries, and thoughts.
Real-time intimacy is enabled by real-time comms. It doesn't need to be synchronous, almost-synchronous is fine.
Cyworld got really popular in 2003. It's still mainly teenagers, 20somethings are staring to leave.
Now Gen Kanai, who does biz dev for Mozilla Japan, talking about OSS in Asia:
28% market share in Europe.
2% market share in China (3.5m users).
10-12% market share in Japan.
Korean market restricted by encryption protocols. But also it was so far ahead of the world in broadband that crypto standards weren't available worldwide (?), so the Korean government went their own way. As of today, IE is the only way to do crypto in Korea - Microsoft have a de facto monopoly.
There's a tendency for Asians not to contribute to open source: thanks to culture, language and education, according to Linus Torvalds, no-one really understands why.
Take Bhutan (no, really!): 2.2m population, very isolated. In top 10% of happiest nations, Gross National Happiness more important than GNP. Microsoft wouldn't do them a Bhutan language OS, so they went to open source. Very interesting - they now have an opportunity to control their future and their language. They built the OS on top of Debian in just over a year for about $80k cost.
Ruby was developed by a Japanese developer.
In the West there's often a lot of direct confrontation in OSS projects. This type of dialogue is less common in Asia, both in person and online. Some of the standards by which people interact aren't there.
Language is an issue; it's not just a question of writing in code, it's about communication around the code too.
OSS has traditionally depending on a certain level of economic development: developers having time outside of work to carry out pro bono programming.
Another cultural difference: the west succeeds on meritocracy. This isn't necessarily true in Asia. Free and freedom are key ideals of open source, but the terms may have been polluted by international politics of late.


Burnley claim unwanted top spot for reported hate crimes
by Telegraph SportBurnley supporters were reported for alleged hate crimes at football matches more often than any other club in England or Wales over the past two completed seasons, according to Home Office data.
There were 17 instances where the Premier League club were reported, while Manchester United, Sunderland and West Ham United were the subject of 13 reports each, a request under the Freedom of Information Act revealed.
Fifteen of the 17 reports concerning Burnley related to discrimination on the grounds of race, while two related to sexual orientation.
However, the club believe their self-policing approach might account for the proliferation of the reports.
“Burnley is aware of the figure highlighted in the data and believes the number of instances reported reflects the club’s proactive stance on such issues,” a statement read.
“As a club we operate a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination at Turf Moor and among our supporters at away matches.
“We actively encourage our supporters to report any relevant incidents, including those suspected from our own fans, which we believe is reflected by the number of reports made.”

Frequency (2000) Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5.0 stars
Cast: Dennis Quaid, James Caviezel, Shawn Doyle, Elizabeth Mitchell, Andre Braugher, Noah Emmerich Written by: Toby Emmerich Directed by: Gregory Hoblit Running Time: 117 minutes
When you go to the movies as much as I do, you unfortunately end up seeing certain movie trailers one too many times. Such was the case with Frequency. Every time I went to a screening, there was the Frequency preview. It looked awful. It looked cheesy, sappy and ridiculous. It looked like a flop. Well, whoever put that trailer together should be fired, because in terms of pure entertainment, Frequency is one of the best of the year thus far.
Frequency boasts a compelling story line. An occurrence of freakish solar activity allows police detective John Sullivan (James Caviezel) to speak to his fireman father Frank Sullivan (Dennis Quaid) through a ham radio, despite the fact that Frank has been dead for 30 years. John is able to give his father information that prevents his death in a warehouse fire, but by doing so causes other changes. Somehow, a serial killer's reign of terror, which in the original timeline had been stopped at three murders, extends to ten victims... including John's mother.
This is director Gregory Hoblit's third film (the other two being Primal Fear and Fallen). With all three, he's managed to attach himself to great scripts (this one by Toby Emmerich, whose only previous movie experience was as a music supervisor on numerous New Line films) and add equally great direction. Also, he apparently likes to have his films wrap up with a kick-ass ending. Frequency is no exception, the ending is unpredictable and incredibly satisfying. Hoblit is three for three, and I hope he can keep it up.
Now everyone can argue logic this and logic that all you want with the sci-fi elements of Frequency. But the fact of the matter is that time travel has never been achieved. Who's to say how something works and how it doesn't when it's never happened? Is it because we've become accustomed to time travel "laws" from other places like "Star Trek" and the Back to the Future trilogy and "Quantum Leap"? Yes, if you sit down and think about it, certain plot elements in this film probably won't make any sense. Most films are like that. Don't let that dissuade you from seeing this fantastically entertaining film however.
When Frequency was over, it made me wish I had seen it with my father so I could have given him a hug (okay okay, shut up). When you break it down past all its sci-fi elements and serial killer antics, Frequency is simply a movie about a father and his son and the bond that they share. It's touching, it's sincere, and it's what ultimately makes this movie work. [PG-13]
