development tools
Increase development productivity: run, debug and auto-reload Jooby applications!!
maven
Maven 3+ plugin for running, debugging and reloading your application.
usage
mvn jooby:run
Prints something similar to:
>>> jooby:run[info|main]: Hotswap available on: /my-app
>>> jooby:run[info|main]: includes: [**/*.class,**/*.conf,**/*.properties,*.js, src/*.js]
>>> jooby:run[info|main]: excludes: []
INFO [2015-03-31 17:47:33,000] [dev@netty]: App server started in 401ms
GET /assets/** [*/*] [*/*] (anonymous)
GET / [*/*] [*/*] (anonymous)
listening on:
http://localhost:8080/
hot reload
The jooby:run
tool restart the application every time a change is detected on:
- classes (*.class)
- config files (*.conf and *.properties)
Changes on templates and/or static files (*.html, *.js, *.css) wont restart the application, because they are not compiled or cached while running on application.env = dev
.
It’s worth to mention that dynamic reload of classes is done via JBoss Modules.

${application.class}
A Maven 3+ property that contains the fully qualified name of the main class
. Required.
fork
Allows running the application in a separate JVM. If false it uses the JVM started by Maven 3+, while if true it will use a new JVM. Default is: false
.
This property can be set from command line using the application.fork
system property:
mvn jooby:run -Dapplication.fork=true
compiler
The compiler is on
by default, unless:
-
A
.classpath
file is present in the project directory. If present, means you’re a Eclipse user and we turn off the compiler and let Eclipse recompiles the code on save. -

usage
{
use(new Jackson());
use(new LiveReload());
}
This module is available as long you run in development: application.env=dev
.
configuration
browser extension
Install the LiveReload browser extension.
livereload.js
Add the livereload.js
to your web page.
You can do this manually:
<script src="/livereload.js"></script>
Or use the liveReload
local variable with your preferred template engine. Here is an example using Handlebars
:
{{liveReload}}
json module
The LiveReload Protocol run on top of a WebSocket
and uses JSON
as protocol format. That’s is why we also need to install a JSON module
, like Jackson.
watcher
It automatically reload static resources from public
, target
(Maven projects) or build
folders (Gradle projects).
Every time a change is detected the websocket send a reload command
.
starter project
We do provide a livereload-starter project. Go and fork it.
That’s all folks!!
whoops
Pretty error page that helps you debug your web application.
NOTE: This module is base on whoops and uses the same front end resources.
dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jooby</groupId>
<artifactId>jooby-whoops</artifactId>
<version>1.6.6</version>
</dependency>
exports
usage
{
use(new Whoops());
get("/", req -> {
throw new IllegalStateException("Something broken!");
});
}
The pretty error page handler is available in development mode: application.env = dev
custom err pages
The pretty error page is implemented via err(req, rsp, err). You might run into troubles if your application require custom error pages. On those cases you probably won’t use this module or apply one of the following options:
whoops as last err handler
This option is useful if you have custom error pages on some specific exceptions:
{
err(NotFoundException.class, (req, rsp, err) -> {
// custom not found
});
err(AccessDeniedException.class, (req, rsp, err) -> {
// custom access denied
});
// not handled it use whoops
use(new Whoops());
}
Here the custom error page for NotFoundException
or AccessDeniedException
will be render before the Whoops
error handler.
whoops on dev
This options will active Whoops
in dev
and the custom err pages in prod-like
environments:
{
on("dev", () -> {
use(new Whoops());
})
.orElse(() -> {
err((req, rsp, err) -> {
// custom not found
});
});
}

IAEA To Press Iran Over Suspected Undeclared Nuclear Site
by RFE/RLThe UN's nuclear watchdog has asked Iran for details on why traces of uranium were found at an undeclared site after Iranian officials failed to provided information about the discovery.
The issue has added to tensions over Iran's moves to breach a landmark 2015 deal aimed at curbing its nuclear activities.
"It is essential that Iran works with the agency to resolve this matter promptly," Cornel Feruta told the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) board of governors in Vienna on November 21.
The IAEA said in a report made public last week that its inspectors had "detected natural uranium particles of anthropogenic origin at a location in Iran not declared to the agency."
"We have continued our interactions with Iran since then, but have not received any additional information and the matter remains unresolved," Feruta said.
The IAEA has not named the site in question, but inspectors are believed to have taken samples from a location in Tehran's Turquzabad district where Israel has alleged secret atomic activity in the past.
The discovery of uranium particles of man-made origin at a location that has not been declared comes as the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers threatens to collapse.
The United States in May last year pulled out of the agreement and started to reinstate punishing sanctions on Tehran, leaving the other signatories struggling to salvage the accord.
Over the past few months Iran has breached several parts of the pact, under which it committed to scale back its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
On November 18, the IAEA confirmed that Iran's stock of heavy water for reactors had surpassed the 130-ton limit set under the nuclear deal.

The termination of the first volume of the Zoological Illustrations is accomplished, and its contents will not only enable our readers to discern the nature of the work, but likewise to form a judgement, on that degree of improvement which we have introduced since its first publication, and they may safely rely on the continuation being in no respect inferior.
In commencing a work of this nature, we have had two principal objects in view: the diffusion of original observations, which, while they might further the ends of science, would also be interesting to the general reader; and that of discouraging the publication of distorted figures copied from old authors, by accustoming the public eye to original designs and correct representations of natural objects. How far we may have succeeded in this latter object, remains to be judged by others; we are however satisfied with having made the attempt, and we hope that abler pencils than our own, may engage in the prosecution of this most desirable object; for it is only by the publication of original matter, that a check can be given to the increasing number of compilations and multiplied copies of "ill-shaped" figures, by which error is perpetuated, and science retarded.
The only original work that has appeared in this country similar to our own, is the Zoological Miscellany by Dr. Leach, which, as it was discontinued after the third volume, it may be presumed was unsuccessful: although little can be said of many of the figures in the early volumes, those in the latter are much to be praised, and the whole are original; the descriptions also abound with details highly interesting to the scientific world, for which indeed the learned author principally intended it; nevertheless it is a question, whether science in the end would not have been equally, and perhaps more advanced, had this work been more adapted to general readers. Instruction in these days of refinement must be made easy, palatable, and enticing; the eye must be pleased, while the understanding is improved, and Wisdom in her simple dignified garb will often be deserted for Ignorance, decked out in the glittering trappings of Folly.
The Naturalist's Miscellany conducted by Dr. Shaw, in its miscellaneous nature also resembled the present work, and reached to the extent of twenty-four volumes. What an invaluable fund of information these might have contained had their contents been original! Unfortunately, however, the exceptions are so few, that the whole may be termed a loose compilation, the descriptions being mostly given in as few words as possible, and the figures not only copied from wretched representations found in old authors, but often coloured from their descriptions only! It is indeed lamentable that the Author, whose talents and abilities were unquestionable, should have exerted them so little, and thus have descended to the rank of a voluminous compiler, for little better can be said of the General Zoology, begun and continued under his name: little original matter can there be found, excepting in the latter volumes, yet even in these no notice whatever is taken of the immense number of new species discovered in Africa by Le Vaillant, and long ago published in the Oiseaux d'Afrique: the engravings also are in like manner copied from old prints, enlarged or diminished as occasion offers, without even a regard to the selection of the best. It may be as well to observe in this place, that a great number of generic distinctions have been made in the two last volumes; which, as they have not been followed by any of the great and acknowledged Zoologists on the Continent, and appear to us in many instances trivial and unnecessary, will not be adopted in this work.
It will be unnecessary to point out with regard to the scientific arrangement, that we have avowedly adopted the principles of the modern classification; which the strict followers of Linn�us (in this country alone) have so long, but so ineffectually opposed. The first has been designated as the natural, and the other the artificial system; and, without entering into a critical disquisition on these definitions, it will be sufficient to observe, that by the Artificial System we bend nature to conform to certain arbitrary principles, which we lay down and to which we insist all her productions known and unknown will conform; while in the Natural method, we endeavour by tracing her modifications, to adapt our system to that which appears to regulate her operations. In the one we give laws, in the other receive them; by the first we are taught to believe that the highest attainment of the science, is that of ascertaining the name of an object in our Museum, or of giving a new one; we record it in our favourite system as a grammarian enters a new word in his dictionary, and there the matter terminates. Where the artificial system ends, the natural begins; for we then proceed to the investigation of affinities founded on anatomical construction, economy, and geographic distribution; our attention ceases to be confined to individuals, and extends to large groups; general facts enable us to draw general conclusions, till the mind begins faintly to discern a vast and mighty plan, by which the zones of the earth are peopled by their own respective races of animate beings; blending their confines unto each other with divine harmony, beauty, and usefulness.
That these inquiries and results have had a most wonderful effect on the natural sciences of late years, is abundantly evident. Geology, a subject hardly thought of in this country a few years ago, is now found to be a science of the first importance; with this, however, Conchology is so intimately connected, that without a certain knowledge of it, the geologist is frequently unable to prosecute inquiries of the most interesting nature; and there is little doubt but that Botany has been raised to the rank it now so justly holds, solely because its natural system has been more generally studied and advocated in this country, than that of any other branch of Natural History. In this science at least, we possess a superiority which our continental neighbours cannot dispute; and the name of Brown will be enrolled in the brightest page of our philosophic inquirers.
That the prejudiced adherence to the strict Linn�an system, has been the primary cause why Zoology has been more neglected with us than on the Continent, will admit of little doubt; for by shutting the door to all further improvement, it has impressed the generality of our countrymen with an idea, that the highest object of the Naturalist was to label the contents of a museum, and to arrange stuffed animals, like quaint patterns of old china, in glass cases: to thinking minds no less than to the vulgar, this idea has produced a feeling of contempt and ridicule, and very few of those qualified by nature for accurate investigation and philosophic reasoning, have been induced to make the science a study; and thus from such an unfortunate prejudice, to use the words of a powerful writer of the present day, "some future historian of the progress of human knowledge, will have to state that England, till within the few last years, stood still at the bottom of the steps where Linn�us had left her; while her neighbours were advancing rapidly towards the entrance of the temple[1]."
Finally—Linn�us to a comprehensive genius united indefatigable industry; yet he could not see and study those innumerable productions that have been discovered since his death: in proportion as our knowledge of objects increases, so must our systems change, until the natural one is fully developed; and the question simply comes to this, Whether the Linn�an method should be upheld as a solitary exception to the mutability of human wisdom.
The sun of truth must however finally prevail, and there is every reason to think it has already broke, and will gradually disperse these mists of prejudice. It is however much to be regretted, that our public institutions are wholly inadequate to facilitate not only the advancement of students, but the researches of those who are already engaged in prosecuting their inquiries: in Scotland alone are founded any Professorships of Natural History, and the establishment of our National Museum (in this branch only) is confessedly difficult: materials for study are more necessary in this science than any other; yet the public Institutions and libraries of the metropolis, "rich and rare" in every other department of knowledge, in most instances are deficient in this of the most elementary books; setting aside those of illustration, which, from being unavoidably expensive and within the reach of few purchasers, are more particularly adapted for such general repositories of learning. The protracted ill-health of its noble possessor, was the cause no doubt of the Banksian magnificent library being left deficient in several of the latest continental works; and that of the British Museum I have reason to think is still more defective. To the honour however of the keepers of the Bodleian and Radcliffe Libraries, it should be mentioned, that no pains or expense have been spared to render them as perfect in this branch as possible; and we have been told that the latter particularly is the most magnificent in the kingdom.
We shall now as briefly as possible advert to the contents of this volume.
In the Ornithological department the systems of Cuvier and Temminck have mostly superseded all others: as a whole, we give a decided preference to the latter, as being more natural, though it may be doubted if the generic distinctions are not too few, while those of Cuvier are too many: both however can be considered only as sketches, subject to improvement—as natural affinities are more studied.
Regarding that part of our work which relates to Entomology, we have given a decided preference to the Lepidoptera, for the simple reason that this order has received less attention from all writers, concerning their real characters and affinities, than any other; indeed they have been most unaccountably neglected even by Latreille, the great founder of the modern school: we have therefore thought it necessary to propose in this department many new genera, and only have to regret that their definitions could not be made more perfect without the destruction of the specimens, frequently not our own, and which therefore was unattainable: a more extended knowledge of the natural affinities existing in this tribe, will alone confirm or annul the propriety of these distinctions.
In Conchology many of the genera long established on the Continent, but new to our own collectors, have been characterized and illustrated, as well as specific distinctions defined between shells hitherto considered as varieties; and here it must be observed that so much latitude has been given to the meaning of the term variety, that in its general acceptation its definition becomes impossible: our own idea of its true meaning is, a shell possessing one or more characters which are changeable and uncertain, and which consequently will not serve as indications by which it may infallibly be distinguished from all others; variety depends on local circumstances, and affects the size, colour, and greater or less development of the same modification of structure; a species is permanent, its structure always the same though more or less developed, producing and perpetuating its kind, and depending on formation, discernible in youth, and matured in age: we cannot therefore comprehend the contradictory term of permanent varieties in a state of nature (though such occur in domesticated animals), which some authors have used, and which has led to, in many instances, the most erroneous conclusions.
It is lamentable to see the opposition which is still made by our own writers against all the modern improvements; yet although Linn�an Introductions to Conchology are constantly issuing from the press, the desire of being acquainted with a more natural and intelligible classification has already appeared; and as we are frequently questioned on the subject, we cannot in this place do better than refer the young student to the valuable article on Conchology contained in the late supplement to the Encyclopedia Britannica, the perusal of which will convey more solid information, and less perplexity, than all the Introductions our booksellers can boast of.
With respect to the quotations or synonyms, it should be observed that we have in most instances limited them only to original works, all doubtful ones have been rejected, and such only given as have been actually consulted; indeed to this latter cause must be attributed the occasional omission of some, existing in books we had not the immediate power of consulting; our own library is not small; but the difficulty and expense of procuring all the new continental publications, and the impossibility of meeting with them at our public libraries[2], may have sometimes led us into error, and unintentionally to have passed over the discoveries of others.
With the few additions contained in the Appendix we shall now conclude; trusting that in the remarks drawn from us by the present state of the science in this country, our zeal for truth will not give us an appearance of want of candour or of vanity. The truth of our remarks on the labours of others, every one at all acquainted with the subject can inquire into, and either acknowledge or disprove: we neither deprecate nor despise criticism: an author who presumes to instruct others, should have his pretensions publicly canvassed, his merits admitted, or his deficiency exposed; no one is more sensible than we are that our own pretensions chiefly consist in having set an example for others more able to follow: and if we have in any way advocated the cause of truth and science, our object will be attained, and we shall then gladly retire in the shade.

Green Parakeet, with the spurious wings golden-orange: outer quills blue at their base. Tail short, wedged.
Le Perruche � tache souci. Le Vaill. pl. 58, 59. p. 169.
We only thoroughly identified this beautiful little bird, by an inspection of the costly work of Le Vaillant on this family, in the Banksian Library: for the description of the orange-winged Parakeet of Dr. Latham is not applicable; and Dr. Shaw has persisted in the old error of considering this species a variety of the Toui Parakeet, although the question had been put at rest by the original description and sound reasons of Le Vaillant. There is a wide difference between naturalists who compile, and form their theories from books, and those who study nature, and think for themselves; and nothing will result from the first but mischief to the science, and perplexity to the student.
Our figure is from a specimen brought from Demerara by C. Edmonston, Esq.; another is in the possession of A. MacLeay, Esq. Though rare in our cabinets, M. Le Vaillant says it is common in Cayenne. He has given a beautiful figure of the female, which is entirely green.
Total length six inches. Plumage above entirely green, beneath paler and inclining to yellow; just under the lower mandible is a small snuff-coloured spot, and a very narrow line of the same in front just above the nostrils; the quills dark-green, the greater ones on their outside base are blue, with which the head is also tinged. The spurious wings are entirely of a rich and clear orange. Inner wing-covers green. Quills inside greenish-blue, except on each side the shafts, where there is a line of black. Tail short, cuneated, hardly projecting an inch beyond the wings, both above and below green: the interior margin dirty-yellow, the feathers pointed. Bill and legs flesh-colour.
Rostrum rectissimum, acutum, compressum; utroque mandibulo ad apicem �que inclinato; apice integro cuneo compresso simili. Nares basales, ovales, apert�, plumis setaceis incumbentibus extrinsecus tect�. Pedes tribus digitis anticis; uno postico; digitus interior minimus; exterior ad basin medio connexus; hallux productus validus. Ungues compressissimi; antici sub�quales; posticus maximus. Cauda brevis, rectricibus duodecim sub�qualibus.
Bill very straight, sharp-pointed, compressed; both mandibles equally inclining to the tip, which is entire, and resembles a compressed wedge. Nostrils basal, oval, open, covered externally with incumbent setaceous feathers. Feet with three toes forward and one backward; inner toe very small; outer toe connected to the middle at its base; hind toe lengthened, strong. Claws much compressed; anterior nearly equal, posterior largest. Tail short, of twelve nearly equal feathers.
S. supra c�rulea; supercilio, fronte, et remigibus lateralibus in medio nigris; subtus cinereo-fusca, auribus lilacinis, mento albo.
Nuthatch, above blue: line above the eye, front, and middle of the lateral tail-feathers black; beneath cinereous brown, ears lilac, chin white.
...
The present species is one of the many interesting birds collected in Java by my friend Dr. Horsfield: it was not, however, until I had described and engraved another specimen, sent to Sir J. Banks from Ceylon, that I discovered the species had already been included in the Doctor's account of the birds of Java, presented to the Linn�an Society, where he has described it under the name of Orthorynchus frontalis.
The specific name of its first describer is of course retained: with respect, however, to its generic situation, I must be allowed to dissent from considering it as a distinct genus, merely from the prolongation of the hinder toe being somewhat more developed than in Sitta Europ�a and Carolinensis, both which birds are now before me, and which in themselves differ in the relative proportion of this part: thus in S. Carolinensis the hind toe and claw is two-tenths of an inch shorter than the leg; in S. Europ�a it is one-tenth shorter; and in the present species it just exceeds that of the leg: in every other respect not the slightest difference I apprehend will be observed ....
Total length five inches. Size of the European Nuthatch. Bill, from the angle of the mouth to the tip, eight lines; front of the head velvet-black, continued in a stripe of the same colour over the eye, and terminating above the ear feathers: the upper plumage is of a rich blue, more brilliant on the head, and paler on the front, and external margins of the quills. Spurious wings and lesser quills black margined with blue. Inner wing-covers deep black; the under plumage is a light-brown, changing to lilac on the ears and sides of the neck, and tinged with cinereous on the flanks and vent: the chin is white; tail even, the two middle feathers blue, the rest more or less black, having the external margins and tips blue. The outer quill of the wings is short, the second and third longest and equal, the fourth rather less; the hind toe with the claw, measures one inch in a straight line.
Testa in�qualiter fusiformis, spir� product� attenuat�, labio exteriore intus edentulo. Columella plicata.
Shell unequally fusiform. Spire lengthened, attenuated. Outer lip simple, not toothed within. Columella plaited.
M. epidermide lute�, fulvo-marmorat�, anfractibus infern� basi nigris, columell� quinque-plicat�. Linn. Trans. xii. p. 338.
Mitre, with the epidermis marbled with brownish-yellow; volutions at their base black; columella five-plaited.
Mitra zonata. Marryat in Linn. Trans. vol. xii. pl. 10. fig. 1. 2.
This unique and beautiful Mitre has been already described by Captain Marryat in the Linn�an Transactions: the figures, however, are uncoloured, and give a very indifferent idea of the graceful symmetry of its form. My friend Dr. Leach, with his usual liberality, permitted me to draw the accompanying figure of it at the British Museum, where it is now deposited.
It appears to have been taken near Nice in the Mediterranean, adhering to a sounding-line, in very deep water; a very singular locality, since nearly all the Mitres have generally been supposed to inhabit the tropical seas, or at least far from the coasts of Europe. It should, however, be remarked, that Cypr�a lurida, an Asiatic shell, I have found on the shores of Greece: and C. Ulysses, in his travels in the kingdom of Naples, enumerates several shells as inhabiting the warm shores of the Tarentine Bay, which are generally known only as natives of the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. These facts, with many others, prove the physical distribution of Mollusc� to be less decidedly marked than almost any other class of animals.
This genus is included with that of Voluta by Linn�us and our own writers, although long ago justly separated by the continental zoologists.
Testa ovalis, vel oblongo-ovalis. Spira elevata. Os integrum, sub-ovale. Columella l�vis, simplex. Labium externum crassum, reflexum. Internum ultra medium cavo-inflexum. Operculum nullum.
Shell oval or oblong-oval. Spire elevated. Mouth entire, sub-oval. Column smooth, simple. Exterior lip thick, reflected. Interior lip beyond the middle inflected, and hollowed beneath. Operculum none.
B. test� oblongo-ovat�, alb�, cinereo marmorat�, spir� anfractibus longitudinaliter plicatis, labio exteriore complanato; apertur� nigr�.
Shell oblong-ovate, white, marbled with cinereous. Spiral whorls longitudinally plaited. Outer lip flattened; aperture black.
The genus Bulimus was long ago formed by Scopoli out of the heterogeneous mixture of shells thrown together in the Linn�an genus Helix[3], &c.: it comprehends some of the larger and most beautiful of the exotic land shells, among which the present species will stand conspicuous both in beauty of colouring and excessive rarity. While travelling among the forests of Brazil, in the province of Bahia, I found the shell here figured one morning on the leaves of a Solanum. I not only searched myself, but promised as a reward to any of my Indians who would bring me another, a two-bladed Birmingham knife!—the greatest temptation they could have!—but in vain; for I never saw another before or since.
There are many peculiar characters presented in this species independent of its colour: the spiral whorls are strongly plaited longitudinally about half their length, and marked very slightly (but sufficiently distinct) with several oblique indented stri�; the principal whorl has a row of indented and unequal sulcations near the suture, and a slight appearance of elevation along the white transverse band; the outer lip is thick, broad, and flattened beneath; but the margin is reflected back, and forms a prominent rim on the upper surface. The shell, when viewed closely, appears rough with minute scale-like elevations, very much resembling shagreen.
Palpi breves, curvati, compressi ad linguam, squamis dense tecti. Articulis tribus; primo longissimo, ad basin curvato, ultr� erecto; secundo erecto, brevi; tertio minimo, proclivi; apice nudo, obtuso. Antenn� breves, cylindrace�, ad apicem nudum et abrupt� truncatum sensim incrassat�. Al� anteriores trigon�. Abdomen maris, ultimo articulo acuto, et subt�s tenui unco incurvato; valvis magnis, attenuatis, aduncis.
Palpi short, curved, compressed on the tongue, thickly covered with scales. Articulations three; the first very long, curved at the base, erect beyond; the second erect, short; the third minute, inclining forward; the tip naked, obtuse. Antenn� short, cylindric, gradually thickening to their tip, which is naked and abruptly truncate. Anterior wings trigonal. Abdomen of the male with the last joint pointed, and a slender incurved hook beneath; the valves large, attenuated and hooked.
Specific Character.
C. alis dilut� flavis, vel fulvis; anticis supr�, puncto medio margineque extimo, nigris; subt�s ferrugineis; posticis subt�s, singulis duobus niveis punctis in�qualibus; palpis productis.
Wings diluted yellow or fulvous; anterior with a black border and central dot, which beneath is ferrugineous; posterior beneath, each with two unequal snowy spots; palpi lengthened.—Female.
Papilio Statira. Cramer, pl. cxx. fig. C. D.
The present insect is selected to illustrate a very elegant family of Butterflies, whose predominant tints are composed of orange, yellow, and white, variously blended and disposed in a greater or less degree throughout all the species. The generic characters above given will distinguish them as peculiar to the tropics, and principally those of South America; one or two species only being found in Africa, and five or six inhabiting India.
I have no doubt this is the Pap. Statira of Cramer; it is found only in Brazil, and has been erroneously considered by Godart and Latreille as a variety of C. Jugurthina, an Indian insect, and which in fact is not in itself a species, being no other than the female of C. Alcmeone, as an attentive examination of a vast number of both, collected in Java by Dr. Horsfield, enabled me to ascertain.
The extraordinary prolongation of the last joint of the palpi, and the white borderless spots beneath, which are never silvered, will distinguish this species through all the variations; in the ground colour of its wings, which in no two specimens are exactly alike, and one before me is nearly white; the lesser snowy dot is sometimes very obscure, and often wanting; but the prolongation of the palpi is even expressed in Cramer's figure above quoted.
I have examined about a dozen specimens, mostly captured by myself, and all have been females; and I strongly suspect future and more decided observations will prove C. Evadne to be the other sex: it has the palpi lengthened, though in a less degree; and the articulations of the antenn� in both insects will be found somewhat thickened at their termination when viewed under a magnifier, a peculiarity I have seen in no other species; and although I have examined near thirty specimens of C. Evadne, they have invariably proved to be males.
The palpi in this insect will be found at variance with the generic character now given; a striking proof that in a natural system no single part can be taken as an unerring criterion for generic distinction, without making it eventually an artificial one. The Colias Drya of Fabricius has the same formation of palpi, but is a totally different insect.
C. alis subrotundatis, integris, virescenti-albidis, anticis supra fulvis, margine punctoque medio nigris, singulis subtus macul� centrali ferrugine�. Encycl. Method.
(Male) wings slightly rounded, entire, greenish white; anterior pair above orange, at their tips, margin, and central dot black: each pair beneath with a central ferrugineous spot. Female ——?
C. Leachiana. Godart in Encycl. Method. vol. ix. p. 91.
In size this insect is the largest of the genus yet discovered; it was first noticed by Godart, who has given it the name of my learned and valued friend, Dr. W. E. Leach, of the British Museum, whose talents are too well known to need any eulogium in this place.
It appears to inhabit both the northern and southern extremities of Brazil; for I have seen it in a box sent from Par�, and my specimens were captured in Minas Geraes by my friend Dr. Langsdorff. It is, however, a rare species; for I have only seen seven or eight specimens, and they were all males: the female, when found, will probably differ as remarkably as in most of this genus.
The opaque spot on the inferior wings above is very large; but the tuft of hair corresponding beneath the superior wings, is entirely wanting. It should be likewise observed, that although this insect in every outward respect resembles a genuine Colias (the type of which may be C. Ebule), it differs very materially in the terminal appendages of the abdomen; the last joint being the shortest, and scarcely pointed; and the hook, instead of being concealed beneath this segment, is exserted beyond it, and met by two others, one at the base of each lateral valve: these valves are also much shorter, ovate, and not attenuated, although ending in an incurved hook. In the present ignorance in which a true knowledge of the Lepidoptera is involved, it is impossible to say how far these dissimilarities may point out natural groups; it is therefore of the highest importance to the science such facts should be noticed.
[1] Hor� Entomologic�, by W. S. MacLeay, Esq. M.A. of Trinity College, Cambridge. London, 1819. A work which for acuteness of reasoning and profound research, has never been equalled either in this, or perhaps in any other country.
[2] It is truly grievous in those which are privileged to possess themselves of the works of their countrymen, however expensive, at free cost, and thus to inflict a ruinous fine on authors. Thus—National Institutions, founded for the encouragement of learning, are made to oppress and impoverish its followers.
[3] Were it necessary at this time of day to point out the unnatural separation of shells intimately connected with each other, which the Linn�an arrangement presents, it would be sufficient to observe, that the genus Bulimus is formed of shells scattered in the old genera of Turbo, Helix, and Bulla: thus we see in Mr. Dillwyn's Catalogue, the large pink-mouthed African land-snail put in the same genus with our English Bulla lignaria, and aperta; the one inhabiting the depths of forests, and the others the depths of ocean!

Laptops in the last 5 years (2018-2023) include Intel RST support for fake-RAID or Optane configurations. Linux does not support the Intel RST found in laptops versus the much older RSTi implementations.
I benchmarked two NVMe SSDs in a Lenovo P1 Gen 3 laptop in multiple configuration modes to see what the performance was like.

There was not a significant difference in performance for NVMe PCIe storage devices even in RAID0 stripe mode. The addition of an Intel RST driver could make installation more complicated although the Windows 10 installer did recogonize the disk volumes without help. There could be battery life impacts for the RST mode instead, but this was not tested.

The remaining 4 are numeric but they have datatype object. Why?
Because that there are null values in those columns (interpreted as strings):
Let's see how many penguins by species we have (and how do they relate to islands).
ggplot(df, aes("species", fill = "island")) + geom_bar() +
ggsave("images/penguins_count_species.png")
StatusSuccess output of write_to_png
We see that 3 species of penguins (Adelie, Chinstrap, Gentoo)
are reported living on 3 islands (Biscoe, Dream, Torgersen).
The majority of penguins are Adelie and they are distributed over the 3 islands.
Gentoo penguins (second most common) almost all live on Biscoe,
and Chinstrap penguins almost all live on Dream.
We can confirm this with the following image taken from the
article
from where this dataset comes from:
We do expect weight being correlated to some of the length measures
(e.g. flipper length) with males being bigger than females.
To plot this we need to remove all NAs:
let df1 = df.filter(f{c"body_mass_g" != "NA"})
ggplot(df1, aes(x = "body_mass_g", y = "flipper_length_mm", color = "sex")) +
geom_point() +

A few things to remark:
as expected body mass and flipper length are linearly correlated
males are in general bigger than females but there appear 2 groups, possibly related to species
we have some more NAs (and one '.') in sex column (even after filtering for NAs in numeric columns)
Let's now look at the same chart coloring by species instead of by sex (shape is not yet supported in ggplotnim):
ggplot(df1, aes(x = "body_mass_g", y = "flipper_length_mm", color = "species")) +
geom_point() +
ggsave("images/penguins_mass_vs_length_with_species.png")
StatusSuccess output of write_to_png
We can see that sizes of Adelie and Chinstrap overlap, while Gentoo penguins are in general bigger.
As a final plot, I would like to (partly) reproduce a plot that "shows" the presence of Simpson's paradox in this dataset,
as reported by this tweet:
ggplot(df1, aes(x = "culmen_depth_mm", y = "body_mass_g", color = "species")) +
geom_point() +
ggsave("images/penguins_simpson.png")
StatusSuccess output of write_to_png
We can see that Gentoo penguins, although in general bigger, have a "thinner" bill (see image below for meaning of bill and culmen)!

Arrays don't work as operands in [ ]. Use a loop (or concatenate with * instead of @).
ext=png
allowedExt=(jpg bmp png)
[ "$ext" = "${allowedExt[@]}" ] && echo "Extension is valid"
ext=png
allowedExt=(jpg bmp png)
for value in "${allowedExt[@]}"
do
[ "$ext" = "$value" ] && echo "Extension is valid"
done
Array expansions become a series of words in [ .. ]
. Operators expect single words only.
The problematic code is equivalent to [ "$ext" = jpg bmp png ]
, which is invalid syntax. A typical error message is bash: [: too many arguments
or dash: somefile: unexpected operator
.
Instead, use a for
loop to iterate over values, and apply your condition to each.
Alternatively, if you want to concatenate all the values in the array into a single string for your test, use "$*"
or "${array[*]}"
.
If you are dynamically building an a test expression, make your array the only thing in the test expression. ShellCheck will not emit a warning for: set -- 1 -lt 2; [ "$@" ]


SATUPDAT.EXE
SATUPDAT.EXE will read messages from AMSAT copied via packet radio. This is
the english version of AJOURSAT.EXE. This software was developed by F6BVP.
It extracts keplerian elements both in NASA and AMSAT formats and updates
the results into the satellites data base of the F6FBB's BBS (SATEL.DAT)
Loading SATUPDAT without arguments will print the following message on your
screen (between lines -----):
------------------------------------------------------------------
Automatic update of satellites orbital parameters for F6FBB's bbs Version
1.77e - June 1991 - Bernard Pidoux, F6BVP
Usage: SATUPDAT [file name<.txt>] </option> </option>
Reading option:
/a AMSAT format (default)
/n NASA format
Update option:
/f merging new and old data (default)
/u update only satellites present in the
data base
/s keep only satellites present in the input file
<<767 satellites maximum>>
------------------------------------------------------------------
This version 1.77e verifies checksum both for AMSAT files and NASA files.
For automatic update of keplerian elements into F6FBB's bbs just create a
virtual BBS into BBS.SYS file. Its name could be AMSAT for example.
Then declare the following forward in the file FORWARD.SYS :
A AMSAT
*
G AMSAT
P @
C C:\FBB\SYSTEM\SAT\AMSAT.TXT
*
------
CAUTION: The name of the disk unit and the path name should be the exact one
of your configuration.
In order to run automatically SATUPDAT when your computer boots, you must
modify the batch file like the following example:
In WinFBB (file RUNFBB.BAT):
maint ********************** START of MAINT script **************************
cd %fbb%
@echo off
cd %fbb%\system\sat
if not exist amsat.txt goto amsatend
satupdat amsat.txt /n > satupdat.res
satupdat amsat.txt >> satupdat.res
del amsat.txt
:amsatend
cls
echo
cd %fbb%
In LinFBB :(There is no SATUPDAT for LinFBB yet..)
In DosFBB (file APPEL.BAT):
:direct
if not exist c:\fbb\system\sat\amsat.txt goto appel
cd \fbb\system\sat
satupdat amsat /n > satupdat.res
satupdat amsat >> satupdat.res
del amsat.txt
cd \fbb
:appel
echo Running the BBS ^C for stopping
sleep 3
serv -t
if errorlevel 2 goto direct
if errorlevel 1 goto suite
:suite
(Once again be careful with the disk name and directories !)
SATUPDAT OPTIONS:
The default extension for input file is .TXT, however you can specify
another extension.
Both arguments after the filename in the command line are optional: the
first one indicates the reading format, either the AMSAT format or the NASA
"2-line" format. The first one is selected by default.
The second option is for the choice of update mode. By default the program
will merge the old list with the new one (same if you select option /f). Old
data of satellites which are not present in the input file are kept as is and
the other one are updated.
Option /u can be selected if you don't want to add new satellites to the one
already present. Only keplerian elements from known satellites are updated.
This prevents the list to grow with incoming satellites that you are not
eventually interested in.
Option /s, on the contrary, gives you the possibility to keep only in the
data base the data from the satellites whose name is in the input file.
This can help you to suppress old satellites from the data base.
In all cases the program takes care of the permanent data of satellites such
as the frequency (for doppler) and the step for computing the tracking (you
must provide both manually only the first time).
If the keplerian elements of the input file are older than the one already
present in the BBS data base, the old one are kept.
The list is sorted by name in order to help the finding of the satellite
name when someone is connected to the BBS.
If elements for one satellite are duplicated in the input file, the program
will look again for the newest data.
Of course, if CRC computed by the program is not the same as the one in the
input file, the program informs you that the CRC is BAD and it does not take
the keplerian elements.
In the batch file example given above you have certainly noticed that I call
twice the program SATUPDAT with two different format arguments. The first
time I ask the program to read the NASA format and the second time to read
the default format AMSAT. The reason is that the probability for an error to
occur in both formats for the same satellite is very small. Thus if an error
occurs in one format the program will complete the update when he will found
unaffected keplerian elements in the other format. Thanks to the recently
adopted checksum by AMSAT!

Liberace: Secretly a top
Let there be no doubt: this man could play the piano. Born Wladziu "Walter" Valentino Liberace in 1917, he held the world's record for highest paid musician until his death in 1987 from AIDS. This death, shrouded in secrecy and picked apart by a greedy press, capped a career that was gaudy, brilliant, filled with the heart of Las Vegas... and one where the sexuality of a great musician was the centerpiece of controversy for decades.
In 1957, Hollywood Confidential, an extremely popular (10 million+ circulation) tabloid published a cover story on Liberace: "Why his song should be 'Mad about the Boy'", wherein it said that Liberace had made advances on a press agent (male) in LA and Dallas. Liberace sued, and won when it was shown he wasn't in Dallas at the time of the alleged advances. The chutzpah of this seems astonishing in retrospect, but Liberace had a reputation to defend, and that he did.

U-23 AFCON: Black Meteors’ Olympics dream shattered by South Africa on penalties
by Adu SarpeahSouth Africa beat the Black Meteors to end their dream of booking a ticket to Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games after winning on penalties.
The young Bafana Bafana edge past Ghana 6-5 on penalties after 2-2 score line in regulation time to win the third-place match at the Cairo International Stadium.
Ghana’s Black Meteors vrs South Africa U-23
Ghana had the brightest of start in the opening 10 minutes but failed to do the needful comparably to the South Africans. This is beacse the South African had their first goal kind courtesy an own goal by Habib Mohammed. After the goal, the young Bafana Bafana got control of the game.
Sensational Kwame Baah came to Ghanaians rescue for his dribbling tactics on the field of play. At the end of the 90 minutes, it was 2:2. However, Emmanuel Cudjoe missed Ghana’s final spot as South African won the third-place playoff which is also the automatic qualification slot for the Olympic Game.


Switch fishing game turns your Joy-Con into a futuristic fishing rod
Follow Polygon online:
by Owen S. GoodBandai Namco’s next game is a Japan-only launch, but we’re tossing it up here — casting about, you might say — because of the nifty peripheral it includes: a fishing reel, which is attached to the side of a Joy-Con controller.
Granted, the premise of Bakutsuri Hunters sounds pretty rad, too: use your futuristic fishing rod to hunt down and land some mecha-sharks. But it’s a heck of a lot cooler when you’re using this contraption:
That is the “Bakutsuri Giga Rod.” Bakutsuri Hunters uses the Joy-Con’s motion control to allow for a realistic line casting, short or long, according to the player’s throw. Then start winding that reel and bring that bad boy in.
But wait, there’s more: Bakutsuri Hunters includes some custom fishing lures that can be scanned into the game via the Joy-Con IR blaster, and used in your virtual expedition.
NintendoLife points out that Bandai Namco has something of a history in the wacky fishing-rod department. It developed a Nintendo 3DS game called Bakuchou Bar Hunter, again Japan-only, that launched in 2018 and featured a snap-on reel peripheral for the handheld, too.
Alas, it seems Namco has no plans to bring this delightfully creative peripheral stateside. It’s launching Dec. 7 in Japan for 5,280 yen. Western enthusiasts must either import, or get their kicks with the Nintendo Labo Fishing Rod.

Asking the right question
Or, you won't strike gold without a map.
April 5th, 2015
The First step to becoming good at something is to realize that you aren't good at it yet, and that you should probably seek some guidance. Platitudes aside, asking questions is a big part of programming. In general, most problems that you could ever want to solve have already been solved by someone else. Regardless, it isn't enough to just take a solution and use it without thinking. This means that everyone at some point needs to ask questions.
 9 times out of 10, the knowledge that you seek is already there, but unless you know how to ask for it, you won't get what you need. So, how do you ask a good question?
When asking a question, keep in mind that you have to somehow bring the people listening to you up to speed on what's going on. If the gist of the question takes a paragraph to explain, then you're probably going to lose people in the process of explaining it. Breaking down your problem into easy to explain, easy to understand chunks is crucial. To that end, provide any research you have already done, and create a way for the problem to be replicated. Many eyes make a bug small, but you want to make sure that they are all looking at the same bug.
That's all for now! tomorrow, phase 1 starts, with all it's glory. And all it's horror.

There are lots of powerful things you can do with the Markdown editor. If you’ve gotten pretty comfortable with writing in Markdown, then you may enjoy some more advanced tips about the types of things you can do with Markdown!
As with the last post about the editor, you’ll want to be actually editing this post as you read it so that you can see all the Markdown code we’re using.
Special formatting
As well as bold and italics, you can also use some other special formatting in Markdown when the need arises, for example:
strike through- ==highlight==
- *escaped characters*
Writing code blocks
There are two types of code elements which can be inserted in Markdown, the first is inline, and the other is block. Inline code is formatted by wrapping any word or words in back-ticks, like this
. Larger snippets of code can be displayed across multiple lines using triple back ticks:
.my-link {
text-decoration: underline;
}
If you want to get really fancy, you can even add syntax highlighting using Rouge.
Reference lists
The quick brown jumped over the lazy.
Another way to insert links in markdown is using reference lists. You might want to use this style of linking to cite reference material in a Wikipedia-style. All of the links are listed at the end of the document, so you can maintain full separation between content and its source or reference.
Full HTML
Perhaps the best part of Markdown is that you’re never limited to just Markdown. You can write HTML directly in the Markdown editor and it will just work as HTML usually does. No limits! Here’s a standard YouTube embed code as an example:

This was written on a Thursday evening. The original file was created on Friday, September 09, 2005 at 1:56:00 AM.
It was on this night that our little group decided to go shrooming for the first time. More precisely speaking, it was the first time for two of our number (myself and one other guy named Carl), and the second trip for the third person (Steve). A fourth friend, an older man who we all know and trust, stayed by to chaperone the experiment. We all finally got together around 11:15pm at Carl's apartment, after having spent the day trying to get our hands on the shrooms themselves. Each of the three of us ate one eighth-ounce of some species of moderate potency coated in a hard-candy layer. My eighth was a peanut butter egg. I washed my mouth out with three or four cups of water after eating it. I felt as if I were trying to wash some mortal sin off my teeth and tongue.
For a long time nothing happened. Maybe an hour passed. Then my two friends began succumbing to the poison sequentially. First Steve, who'd done them before, began to comment that various objects were tripping him out. At this point, I was merely curious as per what he meant, and what he was seeing. But I could get no cogent information out of him. Next, Carl, who I know more closely, began to feel something. He said that he felt a body high welling up in low waves. Suddenly, as he was describing the effects, he reeled back against the couch and began giggling helplessly, and pawing at the air. I was disappointed, because I still felt nothing, and yet at the same time a little nervous about what was going to happen to me when the drug finally hit. Carl never acts in such an uncontrolled manner even when high or drunk, and to see him break down like that was very disconcerting.
At that point in time I was playing Star Fox 64 in the darkened living room. While the other two sat on couches watching, I took up a spot on the floor to play the game. I hadn't touched Star Fox in some years, so I was concentrating quite hard on the screen. Seeing that I was not having a quick reaction to the shrooms, our friendly chaperone sent his pipe around, and I took a long hit. The high swept through me, and I turned back to my game. Concentrating. Thinking. The game spun by, and childhood instincts resurfaced to aid me in playing it. Old connections were accessed and lit on fire. My brain locked into overdrive, and all at once I existed in more dimensions than I ever had before. I was completely unaware that my hands were still playing the video game; my mind was a trillion miles away.
I don't remember what I saw, except that it was big, and like a canyon. Or a fjord, I thought at the time.
I thought about a house and a room with a computer in it. I thought about a bed and a man and a woman. I sneered at the fantasy of existence in a four-dimensional world. I recoiled at the bitter, cruel joke of a temporary life lived in a constant forward temporal motion, and at the ludicrous notions of death and age. My room. My computer, and my bed. My mother, my father. My life, winding away in the moments of a world which was no longer real. Age, my constant curse, and the abyss of death, fast approaching.
My heart was thudding too hard. There was a buzzing in my ears.  I fell back into my body gradually, coming down off that first shroom wave.  Shortly thereafter a second wave hit me, and I began cackling like a madman, clutching my sides and rocking back and forth against the foot of the couch. This went on, from what I am told, for longer than it seemed at the time.
After that happened, I stopped playing Star Fox. I stood up, and felt absurdly drunk. My legs descended through invisible, numbing clouds and the ground was very very far away. I only managed to reach the computer because I figured out right off the bat that I could focus on the way things had been just a few minutes earlier and stave off the hallucinations which were spawning subtly inside my head. I sat down heavily in the computer chair and simply stared into space for a short while.
Then the bad trip started. For an hour, maybe two, I sat at the computer and let the insanity of my trip pour onto the page. I reached heights of terror and depression which I had never before dreamed possible. I was sure I was going to die, but didn't want to trouble my friends, and so just kept typing madly. At some point, I realized that I had been doing this for what seemed like forever, and that my ideas (whatever it was I was trying to understand, it's a bit fuzzy now) were running around in circles.
I made a decision right then. I was not going to sit and take this, all alone in the corner. I stood up abruptly from the computer and staggered into the living room where my friends were. I spent the rest of the night spazing out in front of the television, trying to force the trip to be good instead of bad, which is what I should have done from the beginning instead of bemoaning the incomprehensible nature of the experience. To some degree I actually succeeded. I repeatedly asked if it was possible to die from these things, and was repeatedly told that no, it wasn't possible. That helped a lot with the fear. Many hours passed. One of my friends wandered over to the computer and whistled, saying, 'Holy shit… he went through thirty pages.'
Our chaperone put in an Invader Zim DVD just to see what our reaction would be. I was convulsing in fits of maniacal laughter before the opening credits had passed. Then the show began in earnest, and I was terrified. I hid my face in my jacket until it ended. Some of the speech that I heard from my friends became garbled. Sometimes words would repeat randomly over and over again, like a record skipping, and I would look up with a start only to hear them continue on with their sentence as though nothing had happened. I noticed blurred faces chugging by far above as they walked back and forth over me. Someone handed me a box of Nerds, and I tore it apart, scattering the tiny candies all over the floor and rolling around in them.
Everyone elses' trip was shorter than mine by two or three hours. They fell asleep, and I paced around the house. At one point I went into the bathroom and took all my clothes off, then stared at myself in the mirror. My reflection had oily droplets leaking from its dilated pupils.  I became sure that my reflection was going to murder me, and I quickly dressed and left the bathroom, shuddering as I went. I found my friend's floor mattress and curled up there for a while, watching in silence as the sun trickled in through the blinds.
Eventually I fell asleep. I did not dream.
