(CNN) If you're looking for a reason to care about tree loss, this summer's record-breaking heat waves
might be it. Trees can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit,
according to a recent study.
But tree cover in US cities is shrinking. A study published last year by the US Forest Service found that
we lost 36 million trees annually from urban and rural communities over a five-year period. That's a 1%
drop from 2009 to 2014.

Tokenization is a vital technique for insuring security of critical user information, from usernames and passwords, to credit card numbers. But it's capable of more than just keeping us safe; it can improve the experience of our apps beyond measure. In this lightning talk, we'll do a quick, deep dive into what immersion means, and how you can ensure it in your apps using tokenization.


If defined for the underlying application, roles can be used to grant specific privileges to different users. The roles are specified in the technical service definition as service roles. Service roles can be mapped to corresponding permissions in the application.
Service roles can be used for role-specific prices: For each role, a price can be defined. This price is added to the base price per user in the cost calculation for a billing period.
Regarding the cost calculation options, role-based prices are handled the same way as the recurring charges for users. With per time unit calculation, the costs for a time unit in which a user with a specific role is assigned to a subscription are always fully charged. There is no difference in costs between a user who is assigned from the start until the end of the time unit and a user who is assigned for a part of the time unit only.
If the charges are calculated per time unit and the role assignment of a user is changed within a time unit, the affected time unit is charged pro rata. This means that the customer is charged exactly for the time each user role is assigned.
If the charges are calculated per time unit and a user with a specific role is removed from the subscription and assigned to it again with a different role in the same time unit, the customer is also charged for the time during which the user is not assigned to the subscription. This means that he is charged with the price for the first service role until the user is assigned to the subscription with the second service role.
The sample calculation below uses the following data:
The customer has 100 users assigned to the subscription. All of them are assigned for an entire billing period. 5 users have the Administrator service role, 80 the User service role, and 15 the Guest service role for the subscription.
The costs are calculated as follows:
Role-specific charges: (5 * 2.00 €) + (80 * 3.00 €) + (15 * 5.00 €) = 325.00 €
Total amount: 325.00 €

My first experience with psychedelics came on a Friday night in late winter, one of the first days of the year that really blasts me with muddy decay and ground smells. The feeling this evoked added to the anticipation and excitement that built in the hours before the trip.
I took 20 milligrams of ‘Epitaph,’ as my buddy, WW, had heard it (2c-i) called. I arrived at his dorm room around 8:15 p.m. after having downed the capsule a half hour before. We kicked things off with a medium-sized bowl of grass accompanied by the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds. WW had done 2C-I several times before, but he would not be tripping that night. However, he kept saying that he was getting a great contact-buzz the whole time I was tripping.
I might have smoked more grass during the trip than I needed, as I would not feel any noticeable effects from the Epitaph till well into the second hour. Its effects on me were incredibly subtle. 2c-i is not one to take me for a ride – it requires a heavy dose of effort on my part. Otherwise I might find myself a little too clear-headed. I even managed to hold my own fairly well in a heated game of Super Smash Brothers.
In fact, I probably wasted a fair amount of the trip waiting for the drug to take over my mind. This was a mistake. I cannot overstate 2c-i’s subtlety. However, later in the night I was really having a good time analyzing and contemplating – music, our conversation, art, everything – my mind eventually kicked into a higher gear when I finally allowed myself to do this.
It’s a fun ride with a decent body buzz, and our conversation was many-levels deep and extremely intimate.
All in all I found the experience to be very happy and sociable. The conversation was excellent, and the body buzz was pleasant. My experience taught me to wait on the grass with psychedelic trips until I can clearly notice the onset (if not holding off altogether – or at least till the comedown). No negatives to speak of besides feeling pretty exhausted for almost 48 hours afterwards.
For me 2C-I put out as much as I put into it - the more effort the better the trip.

Wilkinson's labeling algorithm
wilkinson(dmin, dmax, m, Q = c(1, 5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 1.5, 7, 6, 8, 9), mincoverage = 0.8, mrange = max(floor(m/2), 2):ceiling(6 * m))
dmin |
minimum of the data range |
dmax |
maximum of the data range |
m |

Q |
set of nice numbers |
mincoverage |
minimum ratio between the the data range and the labeling range, controlling the whitespace around the labeling (default = 0.8) |
mrange |
range of |
vector of axis label locations
Ported from Wilkinson's Java implementation with some changes. Changes: 1) m (the target number of ticks) is hard coded in Wilkinson's implementation as 5. Here we allow it to vary as a parameter. Since m is fixed, Wilkinson only searches over a fixed range 4-13 of possible resulting ticks. We broadened the search range to max(floor(m/2),2) to ceiling(6*m), which is a larger range than Wilkinson considers for 5 and allows us to vary m, including using non-integer values of m. 2) Wilkinson's implementation assumes that the scores are non-negative. But, his revised granularity function can be extremely negative. We tweaked the code to allow negative scores. We found that this produced better labelings. 3) We added 10 to Q. This seemed to be necessary to get steps of size 1. It is possible for this algorithm to find no solution. In Wilkinson's implementation, instead of failing, he returns the non-nice labels spaced evenly from min to max. We want to detect this case, so we return NULL. If this happens, the search range, mrange, needs to be increased.

CBS dramas will meet on Friday, Jan. 3
by Reid NakamuraCBS will finally air a crossover between its Friday night, set-in-Hawaii dramas “Hawaii Five-0” and “Magnum P.I.” next year.
Peter Lenkov, executive producer on both series, announced the crossover in an interview with TV Line on Friday, explaining that the story will involve the two sets of investigators converging on the same hotel. Lenkov described the event as “a big-stakes story that really feels like a two-hour movie.”
The episodes are set to air back-to-back on Friday, Jan. 3.
Also Read:
“Hawaii Five-0,” which is currently in its 10th season, and “Magnum P.I.,” in its second, are a natural pair for a crossover, with Lenkov serving as showrunner on both series and both being set in Hawaii. They have shared minor characters in the past, but this will mark the first time any of the show’s major characters will cross paths.
“Magnum P.I.” is a reboot of the 1980s Tom Selleck series starring Jay Hernandez as the titular detective. Perdita Weeks, Zachary Knighton, Stephen Hill, Tim Kang and Amy Hill also star.
“Hawaii Five-0” is also a reboot of a classic series, centering on an elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on Hawaii’s sun-drenched beaches. Alex O’Loughlan, Scott Caan, Ian Anthony Dale, Meaghan Rath, Beulah Koale, Chi McBride, Katrina Law, Taylor Wily, Dennis Chun and Kimee Balmilero star.

The middle column is the alphabetized table of

in the alphabet a.), the words “for” and “For”
are widely separated; they are brought together in the last
column by indexing the table by a suitable alphabet.

Just then a rabbit band of nearly fifty pieces marched in, playing upon golden instruments and dressed in neat uniforms. Following the band came the nobility of Bunnybury, all richly dressed and hopping along on their rear legs. Both the ladies and the gentlemen wore white gloves upon their paws, with their rings on the outside of the gloves, as this seemed to be the fashion here. Some of the lady rabbits carried lorgnettes, while many of the gentlemen rabbits wore monocles in their left eyes.
The courtiers and their ladies paraded past the King, who introduced Princess Dorothy to each couple in a very graceful manner. Then the company seated themselves in chairs and on sofas and looked expectantly at their monarch.
“It is our royal duty, as well as our royal pleasure,” he said, “to provide fitting entertainment for our distinguished guest. We will now present the Royal Band of Whiskered Friskers.”
As he spoke the musicians, who had arranged themselves in a corner, struck up a dance melody while into the room pranced the Whiskered Friskers. They were eight pretty rabbits dressed only in gauzy purple skirts fastened around their waists with diamond bands. Their whiskers were colored a rich purple, but otherwise they were pure white.
After bowing before the King and Dorothy the Friskers began their pranks, and these were so comical that Dorothy laughed with real enjoyment. They not only danced together, whirling and gyrating around the room, but they leaped over one another, stood upon their heads and hopped and skipped here and there so nimbly that it was hard work to keep track of them. Finally, they all made double somersaults and turned handsprings out of the room.
The nobility enthusiastically applauded, and Dorothy applauded with them.
“They’re fine!” she said to the King.
“Yes, the Whiskered Friskers are really very clever,” he replied. “I shall hate to part with them when I go away, for they have often amused me when I was very miserable. I wonder if you would ask Glinda—”
“No, it wouldn’t do at all,” declared Dorothy, positively. “There wouldn’t be room in your hole in the ground for so many rabbits, ‘spec’ly when you get the lily chair and your clothes there. Don’t think of such a thing, your Majesty.”
The King sighed. Then he stood up and announced to the company:
“We will now hold a military drill by my picked Bodyguard of Royal Pikemen.”
Now the band played a march and a company of rabbit soldiers came in. They wore green and gold uniforms and marched very stiffly but in perfect time. Their spears, or pikes, had slender shafts of polished silver with golden heads, and during the drill they handled these weapons with wonderful dexterity.
“I should think you’d feel pretty safe with such a fine Bodyguard,” remarked Dorothy.
“I do,” said the King. “They protect me from every harm. I suppose Glinda wouldn’t—”
“No,” interrupted the girl; “I’m sure she wouldn’t. It’s the King’s own Bodyguard, and when you are no longer King you can’t have ‘em.”
The King did not reply, but he looked rather sorrowful for a time.
When the soldiers had marched out he said to the company:
“The Royal Jugglers will now appear.”
Dorothy had seen many jugglers in her lifetime, but never any so interesting as these. There were six of them, dressed in black satin embroidered with strange symbols in silver—a costume which contrasted strongly with their snow-white fur.
First, they pushed in a big red ball and three of the rabbit jugglers stood upon its top and made it roll. Then two of them caught up a third and tossed him into the air, all vanishing, until only the two were left. Then one of these tossed the other upward and remained alone of all his fellows. This last juggler now touched the red ball, which fell apart, being hollow, and the five rabbits who had disappeared in the air scrambled out of the hollow ball.
Next they all clung together and rolled swiftly upon the floor. When they came to a stop only one fat rabbit juggler was seen, the others seeming to be inside him. This one leaped lightly into the air and when he came down he exploded and separated into the original six. Then four of them rolled themselves into round balls and the other two tossed them around and played ball with them.
These were but a few of the tricks the rabbit jugglers performed, and they were so skillful that all the nobility and even the King applauded as loudly as did Dorothy.
“I suppose there are no rabbit jugglers in all the world to compare with these,” remarked the King. “And since I may not have the Whiskers Friskers or my Bodyguard, you might ask Glinda to let me take away just two or three of these jugglers. Will you?”
“I’ll ask her,” replied Dorothy, doubtfully.
“Thank you,” said the King; “thank you very much. And now you shall listen to the Winsome Waggish Warblers, who have often cheered me in my moments of anguish.”
The Winsome Waggish Warblers proved to be a quartette of rabbit singers, two gentlemen and two lady rabbits. The gentlemen Warblers wore full-dress swallow-tailed suits of white satin, with pearls for buttons, while the lady Warblers were gowned in white satin dresses with long trails.
The first song they sang began in this way:
“When a rabbit gets a habit
Of living in a city
And wearing clothes and furbelows
And jewels rare and pretty,
He scorns the Bun who has to run
And burrow in the ground
And pities those whose watchful foes
Are man and gun and hound.”
Dorothy looked at the King when she heard this song and noticed that he seemed disturbed and ill at ease.
“I don’t like that song,” he said to the Warblers. “Give us something jolly and rollicking.”

Ev’ry maid
In silk arrayed
At her partner shyly glances,
Paws are grasped,
Waists are clasped
As they whirl in giddy dances.
Then together
Through the heather
‘Neath the moonlight soft they stroll;
Each is very
Blithe and merry,
Gamboling with laughter droll.
Life is fun
To ev’ry one
Guarded by our magic charm
For to dangers
We are strangers,
Safe from any thought of harm.”
“You see,” said Dorothy to the King, when the song ended, “the rabbits all seem to like Bunnybury except you. And I guess you’re the only one that ever has cried or was unhappy and wanted to get back to your muddy hole in the ground.”
His Majesty seemed thoughtful, and while the servants passed around glasses of nectar and plates of frosted cakes their King was silent and a bit nervous.
When the refreshments had been enjoyed by all and the servants had retired Dorothy said:
“I must go now, for it’s getting late and I’m lost. I’ve got to find the Wizard and Aunt Em and Uncle Henry and all the rest sometime before night comes, if I poss’bly can.”
“Won’t you stay with us?” asked the King. “You will be very welcome.”
“No, thank you,” she replied. “I must get back to my friends. And I want to see Glinda just as soon as I can, you know.”
So the King dismissed his court and said he would himself walk with Dorothy to the gate. He did not weep nor groan any more, but his long face was quite solemn and his big ears hung dejectedly on each side of it. He still wore his crown and his ermine and walked with a handsome gold-headed cane.
When they arrived at the room in the wall the little girl found Toto and Billina waiting for her very patiently. They had been liberally fed by some of the attendants and were in no hurry to leave such comfortable quarters.
The Keeper of the Wicket was by this time back in his old place, but he kept a safe distance from Toto. Dorothy bade goodbye to the King as they stood just inside the wall.
“You’ve been good to me,” she said, “and I thank you ever so much. As soon as poss’ble I’ll see Glinda and ask her to put another King in your place and send you back into the wild forest. And I’ll ask her to let you keep some of your clothes and the lily chair and one or two jugglers to amuse you. I’m sure she will do it, ‘cause she’s so kind she doesn’t like any one to be unhappy.”
“Ahem!” said the King, looking rather downcast. “I don’t like to trouble you with my misery; so you needn’t see Glinda.”
“Oh, yes I will,” she replied. “It won’t be any trouble at all.”
“But, my dear,” continued the King, in an embarrassed way, “I’ve been thinking the subject over carefully, and I find there are a lot of pleasant things here in Bunnybury that I would miss if I went away. So perhaps I’d better stay.”
Dorothy laughed. Then she looked grave.
“It won’t do for you to be a King and a cry-baby at the same time,” she said. “You’ve been making all the other rabbits unhappy and discontented with your howls about being so miserable. So I guess it’s better to have another King.”
“Oh, no indeed!” exclaimed the King, earnestly. “If you won’t say anything to Glinda I’ll promise to be merry and glad all the time, and never cry or wail again.”
“Honor bright?” she asked.
“On the royal word of a King I promise it!” he answered.
“All right,” said Dorothy. “You’d be a reg’lar lunatic to want to leave Bunnybury for a wild life in the forest, and I’m sure any rabbit outside the city would be glad to take your place.”
“Forget it, my dear; forget all my foolishness,” pleaded the King, earnestly. “Hereafter I’ll try to enjoy myself and do my duty by my subjects.”
So then she left him and entered through the little door into the room in the wall, where she grew gradually bigger and bigger until she had resumed her natural size.
The Keeper of the Wicket let them out into the forest and told Dorothy that she had been of great service to Bunnybury because she had brought their dismal King to a realization of the pleasure of ruling so beautiful a city.
“I shall start a petition to have your statue erected beside Glinda’s in the public square,” said the Keeper. “I hope you will come again, some day, and see it.”
“Perhaps I shall,” she replied.
Then, followed by Toto and Billina, she walked away from the high marble wall and started back along the narrow path toward the sign-post.

% rebase('templates/template.ptl', title='Assignment 4')
Due: Monday, July 31st, 11AM PST
May be done in pairs
Your fourth assignment is the classic arcade game Breakout that will give you practice with graphics, events, animation and instance variables.
There is a starter project including all of these problems that you can access using the link below. Once you have the starter code set up, edit the program files so that the assignment actually does what it’s supposed to do (see the assignment handout), which will involve a cycle of coding, testing, and debugging until everything works. The final step is to submit your assignment.
This assignment may (optionally) be done in pairs. As a reminder, you may only pair up with others with the same section time and location.

1 Balaam said to King Balak, "Build here seven altars for me. Then kill seven young bulls and seven rams for a sacrifice."
2 So Balak did that. And then he and Balaam each burned a young bull and a ram as a sacrifice on each altar.
3 Then Balaam said to Balak, "You stand here close to your burned offerings, and I will go and ask Yahweh if he has something else to tell me. Then I will tell you what he says to me."
Then Balaam went by himself to the top of a hill,
4 and God appeared to him there. Balaam said to him, "We have built seven altars, and I have killed and burned a young bull and a ram as a sacrifice to you on each altar."
5 Then Yahweh gave Balaam a message to give to King Balak. Then he said, "Go back and tell him what I told you."
6 When Balaam returned to Balak, Balak was standing with the leaders from Moab beside the offerings he had burned on the altar.
7 This is the message that Balaam told them,
"Balak summoned me to come here from Aram;
the king of Moab brought me here from the hills at the eastern side of Aram.
He said, 'Come and curse the descendants of Jacob for me!
Come and say that bad things will happen to these Israelite people!'
8 But how can I curse people whom God has not cursed?
How can I fight against people against whom Yahweh does not fight?
9 I have seen them from the tops of the rocky peaks,
I have seen them from the hills.
I see that they are a group of people who live by themselves.
They have separated themselves from other nations.
10 Who can count the descendants of Jacob, as numerous as particles of dust!
Who can count even a fourth of the number of the Israelite people?

11 Then Balak said, "What have you done to me?
12 But Balaam replied, "I can say only what Yahweh tells me to say. I cannot say anything else."
13 Then King Balak told Balaam, "Come with me to another place. There you will see only part of the Israelite people, and you will be able to curse those people for me."
14 So Balak took Balaam to a field on the top of Mount Pisgah. There, again he built seven altars and offered a young bull and a ram as a sacrifice on each altar.
15 Then Balaam said to the king, "Stand here close to your burned offerings, while I go and talk with Yahweh."
16 So Balaam did that, and Yahweh appeared to Balaam again and gave him another message. Then he said, "Go back to Balak and tell him that message."
17 So Balaam returned to where the king and the leaders from Moab were standing, next to the altar where Balak had burned the sacrifices. Balak asked him, "What did Yahweh say?"

He never changes his mind, as humans do.
Whatever he has said that he will do, he does.
Whatever he has promised to do, he has done it.
20 He commanded me to request him to bless the Israelites,
So he has blessed them, and I cannot change that.
21 Yahweh their God is with them;
the people shout that he is their true king.
So the descendants of Jacob will not be harmed,
they will not endure trouble without God.
22 God brought them out slavery in Egypt
and has led them through the wilderness with strength like a wild ox.
23 When people curse the descendants of Jacob, they will not be harmed,
when people work sorcery on them, it will have no power.
So now people will say about the descendants of Jacob,
'God has done wonderful things for the Israelites!'
24 They are very strong, like lionesses that are ready to attack other animals.
They stand firm like lions.

25 Then Balak said to Balaam, "If you will not curse them, then I certainly do not want you to bless them!"
26 But Balaam replied, "I told you that I must do only what Yahweh tells me to do!"
27 Then King Balak said to Balaam, "Come with me; I will take you to another place. Perhaps it will please God to allow you to curse them from that place."
28 So Balak took Balaam to the top of Mount Peor where they could look down and see the Israelites in the desert.
29 Balaam again told Balak, "Build me seven altars again and kill seven young bulls and seven rams for a sacrifice."
30 So Balak did what Balaam told him to do. He burned a young bull and a ram on each altar as sacrifices.

**1/2 out of ****
Year: 2000. Starring Giovanni Ribisi, Vin Diesel, Nia Long, Nicky Katt, Tom Everett Scott, Ben Affleck, Scott Caan, Ron Rifkin, Jamie Kennedy, Taylor Nichols. Written by Ben Younger. Directed by Ben Younger. Rated R.
After viewing "Boiler Room," I came to an interesting conclusion: Most movies looking to provide viewers with an "in-depth" portrayal of a particular profession end up making it look like a pretty lousy job. Either they take the route of most movies about the teaching profession and show that, however worthwhile, the job is exceedingly difficult ("Stand and Deliver," anyone?), or they show you all the nasty, ugly stuff lurking under the surface that you don't want to see. "Boiler Room" goes for the latter. I can't think of anyone who would want to be a stockbroker after seeing this one. Trouble is, the characters in "Boiler Room" take a look at a film equally critical of the same profession -- Oliver Stone's "Wall Street" -- and find exactly what they are looking for. Huh? Good question. This film attempts to explain the mentality that leads young men to the high-pressure world of selling stocks. And though "Boiler Room" doesn't quite work as a complete piece of cinema, some of its insight into this world is still quite fascinating.
Seth (Giovanni Ribisi) runs a private casino out of his basement. Though he' s supposed to be in college, he has since dropped out and concentrated entirely on his new business. Soon, however, Seth's disapproving father (Ron Rifkin), a judge, discovers his deception and virtually disowns his son. Seth, desperate to gain his father's respect, takes up a job offer from one of his customers: A small firm called J.T. Marlin is offering young recruits instant wealth -- they'll be millionaires within their first three years. Seth goes to the job "interview," which is more like a recruiting session, where broker Jim Young (Ben Affleck) delivers forceful speeches designed to draw the men to the company. After joining the firm as a trainee, Seth finds the work hectic and stressful, but still satisfying. He meets his co-workers, such as Greg (Nicky Katt) and Chris (Vin Diesel), two group leaders who keep up a friendly stream of insults with each other, Michael (Tom Everett Scott), the charismatic chairman, and Abby (Nia Long), a beautiful secretary Seth takes a liking to. He's good at his job and is finally doing something his father can approve of. But Seth starts noticing suspicious things about his seemingly gracious employer. J.T. Marlin can afford to pay its employees exorbitant amounts of cash, strange for such a small firm. Eventually, he discovers the truth: The firm is a "chop-shop," a place that sells nonexistent stocks to unwitting customers, and one that is under investigation by the FBI.
The films which served as Younger's inspiration for "Boiler Room" are quite evident. His characters quote lines from "Wall Street" and extol the virtues of "Glengarry Glen Ross," while Younger himself seems to channel David Mamet when writing his dialogue; his film is full of quintessential Mamet-speak -- curt, profane, and riddled with epithets. Derivative nature aside, most of these conversations are sharply written, even darkly funny at times. Younger displays some ironic wit here: These characters are well-to-do white men who speak like they came from the ghetto. The film utilizes a rap-infested soundtrack to enforce the notion (and just in case you're wondering, yes, Younger did start out directing music videos), and many of the scenes in "Boiler Room" are quite stunning in their effectiveness. The offices at J.T. Marlin literally are boiling pots of tension, ready to explode at any moment, and much of the tension is brought in by strong, forceful performances by two actors: Nicky Katt and Vin Diesel. They aren't the main characters (though sometimes I wished they were), but the duo bring energy to the material whenever they arrive on screen. Ben Affleck, playing the Alec Baldwin part (from "Glengarry"), delivers his monologues quite well.
"Boiler Room" is an interesting film, but the problem is that whatever interesting points it might have delivered are dulled by the slipshod way the film has been slapped together. Younger is still inexperienced as a filmmaker, and his shot selection gets downright monotonous at times: Practically every conversation is an endless stream of close-ups. But I'm willing to overlook such faults, as long as the filmmaker has enough material to keep me interested for the full running time. "Boiler Room" only has enough to sustain about half a film. The first hour is quite good. We meet plenty of colorful characters and learn quite a lot about the inner workings of a firm like J.T. Marlin. But Younger, for all his dedication to Mamet-style dialogue, forgets that it isn't enough to merely show us what happens in an office like this, not enough to fill a feature-length film, anyway. Conversations that seemed insightful in the first half become tedious in the second. But why? Aren't they essentially the same conversations? Yes, and it is precisely because they are the same conversations that they cease to be interesting. Notice how team leaders Greg and Chris have the same racially-charged argument every time. Notice how Ben Affleck delivers what is essentially the same speech no less than three times. (In "Glengarry," Mamet was wise to have Alec Baldwin show up once for a stunning and forceful monologue and then resist the temptation to bring him back for another.) Notice how Seth, the ostensible lead character, learns almost nothing by the end of the film -- other than that he should've stuck with his illegal casino business. David Mamet is Younger's inspiration, but he writes conversations that give us new insight into his characters each time around; Younger writes conversations that go nowhere by the time two characters talk to each other a second time. "Boiler Room's" script is big on introduction, and short on development.
Younger also seems to be afraid of mainstream audiences not "getting" his film, so he throws in several superfluous subplots that never amount to much, like the truncated romance between Ribisi and Nia Long. While the film should be commended for not harping on the interracial nature of the relationship, it still never gets really interesting. Seth's relationship with his father sits in neutral for a long while until the film pulls out a contrived (and unearned) resolution to it. (Ribisi's "breakdown" scene towards the end isn't the least bit believable.) And what was that about the FBI sting? Don't even ask. The screenplay has hampered what ought to have been a character-driven film and saddled it with far too much plot. It also makes the grave mistake of having the laconic and disinterested Seth as its lead character, because the film doesn't need a lead character at all. It would have been better had Younger treated this as an ensemble piece, giving more screen time to the interesting personalities employed by J.T. Marlin.
Perhaps I'm being too harsh on the film. I didn't hate "Boiler Room." Quite the opposite, it intrigued me so greatly that I was left wanting more. The film is good in pieces, particularly a scene where Seth berates a telemarketer for serving him a lousy sales pitch (don't you wish you could do that?) and a subplot involving a spineless middle-class family man (Taylor Nichols) who gets taken for all he's worth by J.T. Marlin. This part of the film is easily the most effective, portraying and personalizing just what these "chop-shop" firms do to people. The result is absolutely disgusting. Younger's film also manages to tap into a late-90's "boom economy" mentality, one in which young men, having seen computer hackers and stockbrokers making millions at the drop of a hat, demand their own substantial slice of the pie. But all these good pieces don't add up to a coherent whole, and this film ultimately fails, falling apart in a formulaic and repetitive second half that loses whatever points it had been making. "Boiler Room" does a lot of nice things; too bad it doesn't manage to do them for a full two hours.

Output Ports
Name Type Description
out Uniform Field Volume data read from file. obj DataObject Directly Renderable Output Object.
The ReadSegY user macro reads SEG-Y format data from a specified file and outputs mesh data. The SEG-Y format is commonly used for presentation of seismic data.
filename
String parameter that contains the name of the SEG-Y file that should be read. The filename can either by relative or absolute and it can contain AVS/Express environment variables (i.e. $XP_ROOT, $XP_PATH<1>).
out
Uniform field output that contains the data read from the SEG-Y file. The uniform field contains a 3D uniform mesh and a single set of node data.
obj
The directly renderable output of the read_segy macro. This output contains the data read from the Seg-Y file in a form that can be rendered by the standard data viewers. Normally this output will not be used as further processing will have to be done on the volume data.
The ReadSegyFunc functional macro uses the ReadSegyCore low-level module. The ReadSegY user macro uses this functional macro and the ReadSegyUI user interface macro. None of these objects use a parameter block.
To demonstrate the use of ReadSegY two example applications are provided. The ReadSegyEg1 and ReadSegyEg2 example applications use the ReadSegY macro to read a set of Seg-Y data. The read data is then processed by the ReadSegyEg1 application and to show and orthoslice in a bounding box. The ReadSegyEg2 application only shows the orthoslice using reset_xform to show it in a 2D plane.
xp_comm_proj/rd_segy/segymods.v contains the V definition of the ReadSegyCore module.
xp_comm_proj/rd_segy/segymacs.v contains the V definitions of the ReadSegyUI UI macro, the ReadSegyFunc functional macro and the ReadSegY user macro.

License4J Licensing Example Application
This application demonstrates validation of all license types.
It stores license information in user home directory with
file name ""sample-app.conf".
"License" menu item in Help menu has required buttons to install, validate, activate,
modify and deactivate a test license. Normally, a software product has a single
licensing method, so a single license validation method should be sufficient. License details
menu item in Help menu is to display some details about the installed license. Normally, customers
do not need that much information.
"ProductLicense.java" has all settings and validation methods defined. It is used
to make this demonstration application simple. In a real application, you should validate
licenses in a few different parts of your application; and as in "ProductLicense.java" file
it is better to perform validation, activation, modification, and deactivation in a thread
to provide a more user friendly GUI. This sample application has simple SwingWorker methods
to make it simple.
TODO List
To test your licenses with this application search for word TODO in source file
"ProductLicense.java" and replace with your product information.
- Change publicKey variable with your public key in ProductLicense.java file.
- Replace product id, edition and version with your settings in ProductLicense.java file
- To use your own Auto License Generation and Activation Server or License Activation and Validation Server define your server address in ProductLicense.java file.

Object literal and Object Constructor
Don't forget, javascript can ack like Object Oriented Language. There are two ways to construct object and class like object.
var sarah = {
name: "Sarah Kwak"
postcode: "94070"
};
var Person = function(name, postcode) {
this.name = name;
this.postcode = postcode;
};
sarah = new Person("Sarah Kwak", "94070")
☕ Lets adding a function to sarah
Person.prototype.sayThat = function() {
console.log("I am an awesome developer!")
};
sarah.sayThat(); =>I am an awesome developer!
ryan = new Person("Ryan", "124232");
ryan.sayThat(); =>I am an awesome developer!
Variable Scope
function Person(name) {
this.name = first;
var bankBalance = 7500;
};
☕bankBalance is the example of private method
in javascript
Although we cannot directly access private variable - bankBalance from outside the class, there is a way to get around this. We can define a public method that returns the value of a private variable.
this.getBalance = function() {
return bankBalance;
};
☕This function must be defined inside of the class
so that it can access the private variable
This is how to call the function
var john = new Person('John');
console.log(john.bankBalance); => Undefined
☕Make sure define new variable and assign the value
var myBalance = john.getBalance()
console.log(myBalance); =>7500
There is also private method. They ack like private variables and we can access via public method inside of the class.
function Person(name) {
this.name
var bankBalance = 7500;
var returnBalance = function() {
return bankBalance;
};
This is how to access the private method
this.askTeller = function() {
return returnBalance;
};
☕Notice there is no () after returnBalance
We don't want the result, we need the method
sarah = new Person("Sarah")
var final_balance = sarah.askTeller();
console.log(final_balance);=> [Function]
console.log(final_balance()) => 7500

What is Virtual Design?
Virtual design is where we take into consideration the virtual nature of our training.
It is an indisputable fact that physical, classroom training materials do not work as successfully in a virtual environment. Much to the frustration of novice virtual trainers everywhere, simply taking the same materials and presenting them online in most cases will not work.
So, where virtual training design comes in is to specifically design slide decks, create dedicated interaction prompts and ensure regular points for feedback and questions.
Can anyone design virtual training? Well, yes. But not everyone is good at it. That’s where we come in.
Why do we need Virtual Design?
As stated above, it isn’t as simple as just taking the predesigned physical classroom materials and delivering them online.
Inevitably, trainers who try this are met with awkward silence and tumbleweed moments. And it isn’t because they are bad trainers or the content isn’t engaging, but simply because the materials are not designed to encourage interaction virtually.
This is why virtual training design is so important.
If you need virtual training content designed from scratch, your existing classroom content virtualising, or anything in between, we're here to help. Check out the ways we can help you with Virtual Design Studio.
Content must be carefully structured in order to correctly facilitate successful and interactive engagement with participants, ensuring learning transfer and a good experience.
What are some common Virtual Design mistakes?
Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. When starting out on their virtual designing journey, virtual trainers can sometimes make some common errors when it comes to the designing process.
9 common mistakes to avoid when working in a virtual design studio.
1. Assume that the current physical classroom slide deck will work virtually.
This is often not the case. Physical classroom slide decks are geared towards having people within a shared environment that can see and interact with one another and the physically present coach. Simply lifting these slides and putting them online will lead to more than a few awkward silences.
2. Using the slide deck as a handout
A common mistake many new designers make is they view their slide deck as a ready made handout. This becomes problematic as it makes the deck text heavy. You don’t need to give your participants all the detail in the workshop itself. Instead, give them the key information in the workshop and save the heavy text/detail for your hand out instead.
3. Not using animations
Now, we aren’t talking about having a ton of fancy flash animations in your slide deck. In fact, we actively warn against having these. But many designers don’t make full use of having bullet points appear on the screen one at a time. This is important because it enables the trainer to control where their participants are looking. If you can’t make the bullets appear one at a time due to platform constraints, try using the annotation pointer to focus attention instead.
4. Using a ‘marketing approved’ slide deck template
Often, new designers find themselves working with an approved slide deck template, usually created by Marketing/Comms. Unfortunately, this layout is great for marketing, but less successful from a training perspective. Create your slides within organizational guidelines, but ensure it is fit to your purpose.
5. Designing Virtual Training is about all the PowerPoint
Spoiler alert; it’s not. Despite everything we have said so fair, virtual design is not about creating the perfect PowerPoint slide deck. Rather, it’s about delivering your learning outcomes effectively and efficiently.
6. Get it proofed by a colleague
When you’ve been working on something for a long time, you can start to get a little detail-blind. Often, virtual designers won’t get their work checked by another colleague, so when the mistakes surface, it is usually in the middle of a trainer’s delivery. Get someone else to have a look at it before you submit; it’s worth it.
7. Everything takes longer in virtual
We stress this one time and time again, but everything takes longer in the virtual world! Where designers commonly fall down is by overestimating the amount of time the trainers will have, or how long certain tasks will take. Have a trainer practice your virtual training in real time and don’t be overambitious. Trust us, you will run out of time faster than you think.
8. Don’t underestimate social time
In addition to the above, don’t underestimate the importance of social time. Many designers underestimate the value of scheduling time in their training to allow for participants to catch up, or bond with one another, which enhances the overall virtual training experience and learning transfer.
9. Don’t be afraid to go analogue
In this new virtual world, many designers make the mistake of thinking that virtual training needs to be digitally based at all times. That’s simply not true. Many participants enjoy the opportunity to get innovative and think outside the box with non-digital tools. Virtual training design doesn’t mean it needs to be limited to the virtual space.
Read more: Virtual Design: Common Mistakes and How to Fix Them
What is the step-by-step process for designing virtual training?
Here at the Virtual Training Team, we have adopted a step-by-step process to design virtual training. Virtual workshops are designed to be bitesize in nature, so ensuring that you have chosen the correct content to make the time work best for the participants is critical.
Not to mention in a virtual setting, it can be harder for new virtual trainers to hold participants’ attention. This is why the designing of the material is so important.
In this modern world, we are constantly surrounded by distractions, so keeping the attention of modern learners can be challenging. But don't worry, Catherine is here with some tips on how you can keep them engaged.
Start with the end in mind
Alright, so you need to design a new virtual training slide deck. You drag up PowerPoint and start by thinking, “Okay, slide 1…
Wrong.
How can you know what you want to include in the materials if you haven’t carefully considered what it is you want to achieve from this virtual workshop? How can you design virtual training without knowing what the trainer is trying to teach?
Start with the end result you want to obtain, then work back from there, making the virtual design studio process easier and more focused.
Brainstorm Content
It’s important to work through what key messages and skills designers want the participants to take away from the session.
If you are seeking to convert something that already exists as physical in-person material into a virtual workshop design, then you will have some content to begin with.
That being said, don’t rule out replacing models and processes with those that are more appropriate for the virtual environment. Set time aside to really consider what could be included.
This is key even if you are designing virtually from scratch. Be creative and remember to always keep sight of what you are trying to achieve from this virtual workshop.
Choose your content
This is one of the most ruthless steps in a virtual design studio. There are loads of great models and processes out there and you can get swamped by all the cool aspects you might want to include in your virtual design.
But it is imperative that designers come back to the purpose of the virtual workshop. If there is content that doesn’t help get the participants to the required outcome of the workshop, then it should be cut.
Virtual workshops are best delivered in a bite-sized format, so it is worth considering having shorter workshops more frequently in order to achieve the levels of content required, rather than simply increasing the length of the workshop’s runtime.
Work out the design process
This is where designers need to work out timings. Everything takes longer in the virtual space, so it is key that timings are considered carefully in the virtual design process.
For example; if you have included a particular model in the virtual workshop to explore, how will the trainer do this? Will they explain the model and then have a discussion via chat? Will they put people into smaller breakout groups to complete posters?
Ideally, designers should aim to achieve variety in the approaches, but always with purpose; why are we doing this? What do we want the participants to learn?
Consider the best practice for each suggested model and how it feeds back into the required goal.
Bring the content to life
People love stories, examples, questions, imagery and science. This section is all about adding flair and character to the content.
It is this flair that makes the content even more interesting, memorable and engaging. Designers may decide to start investigating stock photos to use in the deck, or research case studies to further bring the content to life.
Remember, flair and fun are just as important, and can definitely still be achieved alongside the required outcomes.
Bring it all together
This is where designers need to think about sequencing. They need to double check timings and order, and decide how they are going to link the content together. How does all this fuel the overall goal of the virtual workshop?
Now is the time to examine carefully the whole flow of the virtual workshop design. Is the order correct? Does it cover everything it is supposed to? What are the links between sections?
At this point in the designing studio process it can be helpful to consider some alternative options for various groups, if there are timing issues. Where can cuts be made? Where is the flex?
All helpful things for trainers to know, before delivering the virtual workshop.
Create the introduction
One the very last things to do is to consider how to get the virtual workshop going. In order to get participants engaged right off the bat, designers should ensure it starts with flair.
What will go on the welcome slide? How will the trainer grab the participants’ attention as they enter the session, and get them interacting with the delivery platform?
The welcome slide is the opportunity to start creating context for the participants straight away, and get them into the zone for the topic at hand.
In putting the thought in and really considering how to kick things off, virtual designers can ensure that the workshop gets off to the best start.
Create the slides and extra materials
Alright, now you can go into PowerPoint.
It’s time to pull all your hard work into a seamless, flowing, simple to follow slide deck, plus any extra materials you might need.

Convert Existing Materials
It’s not always about starting virtual training design from scratch. Thanks to the pandemic and the constantly evolving technology around us, there is plenty of physical classroom training that can be converted into virtual.
But don’t be fooled into thinking it is as easy as simply uploading your slides into a Zoom meeting. (More on that above, in case you missed it.)
Fortunately, our design experts have bags of experience in converting existing classroom materials into interactive virtual content.
We’ll take your hard work, virtualize it and then deliver it back to you, fresh and ready to take on the virtual world.
If you need virtual training content designed from scratch, your existing classroom content virtualising, or anything in between, we're here to help.

During my time as a developer I’ve noticed some really good devs become frustrated that their goal of becoming a Technical Lead has not been realised. In some cases developers can fixate on the tech lead role before they have developed the skills to fill the role adequately. I’ve not only seen this with senior developers but also much more junior developers where they clearly do not have the skill or experience to be a technical lead in a development team. Whilst it’s great to have drive and ambition, it’s dangerous to fall into this trap as it may lead to rejection, unnecessary stress and feeling that you’re not doing a good job in your current role when the truth may be to the contrary.
Here are some of the reasons that a good developer may not be ready to become a technical lead and a few tips on how to progress. This won’t be exhaustive so I’d love to hear your thoughts over in the comments or on social media.
1. Good technical ability, not enough business experience
Some developers build a sound grounding in programming through study, side projects and experimentation but lack experience working with a client or within an enterprise environment. These developers can suffer through a variety of ways. Some may over promise to please stakeholders and work long unsociable hours or compromise heavily on quality to compensate. Whereas others may neglect their stakeholders and lean far too much on the technical aspect of a project, ending up late and over engineered.
A good tech lead can balance the team producing value to their client in a timely timely fashion whilst keeping a sustainable pace and high quality. A good tech lead also ensures technical debt is kept in check and paid off regularly. See: KISS, YANGNI, Extreme programming
2. Too much development time investigating and learning new technologies than producing
It’s a great feeling to be working on new technologies and pushing yourself and the tech to the limit. New technologies can absolutely become the next big thing so it a good idea to continue experimenting with them and getting an understanding of how they will fit in to your systems. Sometimes developers become too concerned with picking the perfect tool to avoid reworking or the shame of picking the wrong technology, this may result in major delays for greenfield projects or rewrites. There may also be risk in picking a product that is not production ready.
Experimentations should initially be confined to time boxed investigative spikes if the technologies seem immediately relevant to an existing problem. Picking a tool that is good enough for the current and near future problems should not be met with blame if the technology cannot handle future requirements. If there is a blame culture in the organisation this needs to be stamped out. If there is no current need for a new technology, Hackdays, innovation time and pet projects should be used to investigate and ultimately have fun. See: google 20% time, hackdays, Analysis paralysis, organisational change, fear of failure
3. Hoarding knowledge
Good developers understand that the role requires continuous learning. Unfortunately some developers are protective of their knowledge or findings and do not share this with others. This manifests itself in many ways: silos of code experts, poor documentation, separate solutions to debugging and working practices,
4. You don’t work with other teams
5. You don’t develop others
6. You’re the hero
You make simple things complex Over engineer
7. You just want to code
Being a Tech lead is not actually for everyone.

Online platforms, which monitor and intervene in the lives of billions of people, routinely host thousands of experiments to evaluate policies, test products, and contribute to theory in the social sciences. These experiments are also powerful tools to monitor injustice and govern human and algorithm behavior. How can we do field experiments at scale, reliably, and ethically?
In this hands-on undergraduate class (gradstudents are welcome), students will develop practical experimentation skills, engaging with methods, theory, ethics, and politics of large-scale behavioral research online. For a final project, student teams will develop, conduct, and report on a novel experiment together with an online community or platform.

I’m pleased to announce the monthly Top 20 Steem Witness Forum. Every Saturday at 11am EST (1500 UTC) I host a Top 20 Steem Witness Forum. We generally spend the first 30 min or so talking with @andrarchy who gives us some ideas of what he’s working on as Director of Content for Steemit inc. After that the Witnesses will discuss what they are working on and think is important to consider for the block.
This is a fairly open discussion. I’m not trying to manage the other witnesses so much as give everyone a platform to talk about develops as they are happening and some things that should be considered. I’ll ask open ended questions as prompts for the Witnesses to describe what they think is important.
@andrarchy has asked people to ask some questions in advance that the community is interested in. He’s also requested that you don’t simply ask questions regarding timelines of the things in development.
I’m still looking for a backup witness for this discussion. So if you’re in the top 50 and interested in participating please message me through Discord.

Guests
Please come a few minutes early and make sure that your mic and headset are working. Most important thing is that the speakers don’t feed into the mic.
Code of Conduct
All questions are allowed. We’re not thought police, but we can be pretty strict about not being intentionally rude to others. You have the rest of the internet for that, but not here. Please act respectful especially when asking anything contentious or we’ll act accordingly by kicking you.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
