Web app built with Flask that given a stock ticker will scrape dozens of articles off of Nasdaq.com and run them through a machine learning model for analysis.

Thousands of methods have been developed to predict stock performance, some taking dozens of parameters and using complicated calculations. However, I realized that the market is ultimately determined by supply and demand, which means the stock is worth as much as the investors value them. I wanted to try a more qualitative approach, using sentimental analysis on stock market news to determine stock performance.
Given a stock ticker (i.e. AAPL) it searches NASDAQ.com for related articles and scrapes off all the data. It then cleans the data removing unrelated items (like headers and footers). It then breaks the text into 5000 character chunks and using Azure Text Api it analyzes all the chunks of data. It averages the results and outputs a percentage. I.e. the higher the rating the higher the overall sentiment of news articles, 100% = overwhelmingly positive, 0% = overwhelmingly negative, and 50% = neutral.
The back-end is created in Flask, and data scraping is done with beautifulsoup4. Azure Text Api is used to provide analysis.
Scraping Data: My original plan was to find all of the links on Stock page on NASDAQ.com and then download the data from there, but the problem was that every page would have over 100 links and only 10 of them were the articles I wanted. I had to filter all of the links by discovering a hidden attribute in all of the articles.
Slow Loading Speeds: The problem was when there were a lot of articles to download, the file sizes could get quite large even if the articles themselves were small (100 articles @ 2mb each = 200mb download). The solution was to parse the HTML using BeautifulSoup4 before the images were loaded. This improved response time by a factor of 10. So now instead of running the algorithm on 10 articles in 10 seconds, 100 articles could be analyzed in the same time.
In the future I would like to make a new machine learning model to further improve the prediction accuracy. I would implement a Recursive Neural Network based off of Andrej Karpathy's research paper. I would train this model on solely finance related articles and by doing this I believe error could be reduced substantially and the accuracy would be unparalleled.

I thought I knew a girl once. This was years ago. She was lovely when I first met her. Filled with joy and wonder and about things and life. We were young, high school friends that read too much and talked to loud about it. We were our own group of outcasts; ones that liked to enjoy listening to the echoing of dead men’s minds scratched down on print. To us, the voices were like sleigh bells bringing knowledge and forthcoming joy. They told us that if we were to work hard, things would surely get better; that if we strived for our goals, people from all walks of life would come to bring us joy beyond what we could ever imagine; but not without a great deal of sacrifice.
We understood each other. We could hear each other in the silence and stillness of the day, or the wondrous upheaval that was the night. We were bonded by some unknown force that would not subside any length of cord that was tied one end around my neck, and the other end around hers. I should write her more often. But it seems that I try and I try and I try, but I don’t seem to get any closer to her. Maybe I’m thinking about her wrongly. Maybe we’ve hit a cycle of stagnation, and neither her nor I know of any way out. We seemed trapped by each other.

NekoHTML is designed to be as lightweight and simple to use as possible. Using the Xerces 2.0.0 parser as a foundation, NekoHTML can be transparent for applications that instantiate parser objects with the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP). Just put the appropriate NekoHTML jar files in the classpath before the Xerces jar files. For example (on Windows): [Note: The classpath should be contiguous. It is split among separate lines in this example to make it easier to read.]
> java -cp nekohtml.jar;nekohtmlXni.jar; xmlParserAPIs.jar;xercesImpl.jar;xercesSamples.jar sax.Counter doc/index.html doc/index.html: 10 ms (49 elems, 21 attrs, 0 spaces, 2652 chars)
The Xerces2 implementation dynamically instantiates the default
parser configuration to construct parser objects via the Jar
service facility. The Jar file nekohtmlXni.jar
contains a META-INF/services
file that is read by
Xerces2 implementation for this purpose. Therefore, as long as
this Jar file appears before the Xerces2 Jar files,
the NekoHTML parser configuration will be used instead of the
Xerces2 standard configuration.
Using this method will cause every Xerces2 parser constructed (using standard APIs) in the same JVM to use the HTML parser configuration. If this is not what you want to do, you should create the NekoHTML parser explicitly even though you parse and access the document contents using standard XML APIs. The following sections describe this method in more detail.
Note: The nekohtmlXni.jar file is no longer built by default. This change was made to alleviate confusion about which Jar files to add to the JVM classpath. If you still want to use this Jar file, you must build it using the "jar-xni" Ant task.
If you don't want to override the default Xerces2 parser
instantiation mechanism, separate DOM and SAX parser classes are
included in the org.codelibs.nekohtml.parsers
package
for convenience. Both parsers use the HTMLConfiguration
class to be able to parse HTML documents. In addition, the DOM
parser uses the Xerces HTML DOM implementation so that the
returned documents are of type
org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDocument
. The following example
shows how to use the NekoHTML DOMParser
directly:
package sample; import org.codelibs.nekohtml.parsers.DOMParser; import org.w3c.dom.Document; import org.w3c.dom.Node; public class TestHTMLDOM { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { DOMParser parser = new DOMParser(); for (int i = 0; i < argv.length; i++) { parser.parse(argv[i]); print(parser.getDocument(), ""); } } public static void print(Node node, String indent) { System.out.println(indent+node.getClass().getName()); Node child = node.getFirstChild(); while (child != null) { print(child, indent+" "); child = child.getNextSibling(); } } }
Running this program produces the following output: [Note: The classpath should be contiguous. It is split among separate lines in this example to make it easier to read.]
> java -cp nekohtml.jar;nekohtmlSamples.jar; xmlParserAPIs.jar;xercesImpl.jar sample.TestHTMLDOM data/test01.html org.apache.html.dom.HTMLDocumentImpl org.apache.html.dom.HTMLHtmlElementImpl org.apache.html.dom.HTMLBodyElementImpl org.apache.xerces.dom.TextImpl
This source code is included in the src/sample/
directory.
In addition to the provided DOM and SAX parser classes, NekoHTML
also provides a DOM fragment parser class. The DOMFragmentParser
class, found in the org.codelibs.nekohtml.parsers
package, in can be used to parse fragments of HTML documents
into their corresponding DOM nodes. The following example shows
how to use the NekoHTML DOMFragmentParser
directly:
package sample; import org.codelibs.nekohtml.parsers.DOMFragmentParser; import org.apache.html.dom.HTMLDocumentImpl; import org.w3c.dom.Document; import org.w3c.dom.DocumentFragment; import org.w3c.dom.Node; import org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDocument; public class TestHTMLDOMFragment { public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception { DOMFragmentParser parser = new DOMFragmentParser(); HTMLDocument document = new HTMLDocumentImpl(); for (int i = 0; i < argv.length; i++) { DocumentFragment fragment = document.createDocumentFragment(); parser.parse(argv[i], fragment); print(fragment, ""); } } public static void print(Node node, String indent) { System.out.println(indent+node.getClass().getName()); Node child = node.getFirstChild(); while (child != null) { print(child, indent+" "); child = child.getNextSibling(); } } }
This source code is included in the src/sample/
directory.
Notice that the application parses a document fragment a little
bit differently than parsing a complete document. Instead of
initiating a parse by passing in a system identifier (or an
input source), parsing an HTML document fragment requires the
application to pass a DOM DocumentFragment
object
to the parse
method. The DOM fragment parser will
use the owner document of the DocumentFragment
as
the factory for parsed nodes. These nodes are then appended in
document order to the document fragment object.
Note:
In order for HTML DOM objects to be created, the document fragment
object passed to the parse
method should be created from
a DOM document object of type org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDocument
.
Alternatively, you can construct any XNI-based parser class
using the HTMLConfiguration
parser configuration class
found in the org.codelibs.nekohtml
package. The following
example shows how to extend the abstract SAX parser provided with
the Xerces2 implementation by passing the NekoHTML parser
configuration to the base class in the constructor.
package sample; import org.apache.xerces.parsers.AbstractSAXParser; import org.codelibs.nekohtml.HTMLConfiguration; public class HTMLSAXParser extends AbstractSAXParser { public HTMLSAXParser() { super(new HTMLConfiguration()); } }
This source code is included in the src/sample/
directory.


Personalized Greetings
Instead of printing a generic output, like we did in Lesson 0, this time we'll create a function that takes an input and creates a customized greeting for whatever name you feed into the function.
Lesson objectives:
- Understand how to define a function that accepts inputs (arguments)
- Learn how to use a function's arguments inside your function
- Understand basic string interpolation
Defining a function that accepts arguments
In Lesson 0 we learned how to define a basic function in Python. This time, we'll create a function that's slightly more complicated.
Instead of using empty parenthases when defining the name of the funtion, we can fill those parenthases with argument names. These are variables that we pass into the function that we can use later.
def repeat_my_argument(argument):
print argument + "!"
That simple function above takes a variable and prints it out with an extra "!" on th end. It's a simplistic example, but it illustrates how we can use arguments inside a function to alter our output.
String Interpolation
String interpolation is the name for inserting a variable into a string so that we can alter the end state of that string. For example, if we had a family with the last name "Smith," and we wanted to create a function that takes in a first name and outputs their whole name, it might look something like this:
def smith_full_name(first_name):
return "{} Smith".format(first_name)
smith_full_name("Ellen") #=> "Ellen Smith"
In that example, we provided the name "Ellen" to the function, and it inserted it into the string using the .format
method.
Challenge Rules:
-
Create a Python file called
greetings.py
in thelessons/lesson_1_greetings
directory -
Create a function called
greetings
in thegreetings.py
file - The function should accept a single string as an argument
-
The function should return
"Hi, " + argument + "!"
Example
greetings("Jill") #=> "Hi, Jill!"
Running the exercise
Let's run our unit test command in the terminal again, but with the correct module name for our lesson 1 tests.
python -m unittest -vf tests.test_lesson_1_greetings
Again, you should have seen an ImportError
that indicates we need a certain file that doesn't exist yet. So let's create greetings.py
in lessons/lesson_1_greetings
.
 You'll know you're done when your output says:
Ran 3 tests in 0.000s OK

Need an Epic Steem Monster?
Defender of Truth
Auction Details
Opening Bid: 1 SBD
Buy It Now: 5 SBD
How To Bid
To place a bid leave a comment to this post with the word bid followed by your bid amount in SBD terms. For example, if you were to place a 10SBD bid you would leave a comment like this:
bid 10.0
The auction is being handled by @steembay. You will receive a reply to your bid once it is confirmed. You can read the full @steembay tutorial guide here.
Terms & Escrow
After the bidding has ended or a ‘Buy It Now’ is placed then the winning bidder will be responsible for buying the Steem Monster token at their respective bid. Payment will be expected to be made within 48 hours of the auction end. If the winning bidder is not a Steem Monsters Merchant then you will have the option of sending the SBD first and waiting for me to send the Steem Monster after payment is confirmed.
Alternatively, I will also use a Steem Merchant as an escrow service allowing us to each send our side to them and have them return it to the proper owners. Steem Monster Merchants issue a performance bond to @aggroed that ensures if they do not perform their duties the bond can make us whole. You can learn more about the way Merchant Performance Bonds work by reading here.
If you haven’t heard of Steem Monsters yet then be sure to check out @aggroed’s introductory post for more information on the game.

NYC considers cruise ships for homeless
CNN | Submitted by: Alaska Freegold
Homeless People Everywhere, Head East: "New York City officials flew to the
Bahamas Wednesday morning in Mayor Michael Bloomberg's private jet to assess
the possibility of using retired pleasure cruise ships docked there as
homeless shelters. The idea came from the Bloomberg administration, said
Anderson, as a creative way to tackle New York City's all-time high homeless
numbers. About 67,000 people, including 16,000 children, stay in shelters
each night in the city, according to Anderson." Julie, your cruise director,

Woman faces felony for having 17 dildos
Longview News-Journal | Submitted by: alahzad
On Monday night, police in White Oak, Texas pulled over Kathy Grubbs for her erratic driving. After she failed the breathalyzer (0.22%), the officers placed her under arrest and began searching the pickup.
Which is where they found the 17 "obscene materials and obscene devices" that were taken into evidence. According to the chief of police, the confiscated items were primarily lotions and dildos.
Unfortunately for Grubbs, she now faces a felony charge (and two years in jail) just for possessing the dildos. Why? Because it's illegal in Texas to peddle sex toys, and if you have six or more you're assumed to be a pusher.

Public autopsy held
New Scientist | Submitted by: Alhazred
"The public autopsy had been justified by von Hagens as demystifying the post
mortem examination, which anyone might have to sanction for a dead relative.
He likened the medical profession to medieval priests who would not allow
ordinary people to read the Bible. And he also cited the concerns voiced by
doctors at the decline in post mortems following scandals in which some UK
hospitals retained organs without permission."

The corners of his lips bust open from that hit
While being forced away from the impact, Thomas Andre was reeling from the shock of the freakish power that smacked him in the face
‘How could… how could such a power be…?!’.
That punch was heavy enough for his head to shake around . But, that wasn’t all
That man also possessed the ability to apply physical power with nothing but his thoughts . Even then, he didn’t resist against the pulling force and willingly got himself dragged in
Who’d have thought of such a thing?.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not use his version of the ‘invisible hand’ to resist the pull, he instead used it as a distraction to divert the attention of his opponent, and then threw the real attack that couldn’t be easily avoided
The acceleration from the pull became the double-edged blade cutting into the one activating the ability and ended up causing even bigger damage . Now that was a shockingly well-tuned instinct for battle
‘Just how many fights did he go through to even come up with a tactic like that?’.
Thomas Andre had been looking down on Jin-Woo as some random kid even though he willingly acknowledged the Korean’s powers . But now, having been struck twice in the face, his thoughts had gone through a rapid change
Thomas Andre stopped bouncing away and landed back on his feet
Kwa-jeeeek, kwa-jeek!!.
The friction destroyed the cement floor below and threw up pieces of broken-off pebble and a dust cloud into the air
As expected, Jin-Woo didn’t give the American time to recover and dashed towards him . That was the sight of an experienced hunter . It seemed as if he had aimed for that moment before his target had regained the balance . However, his prey was the quicker of the two to react this time
Thomas Andre discarded all arrogant thoughts from his head . He also realised that he might lose today if he continued to fight while being considerate towards his surroundings
His opponent this time was far, far tougher than his initial expectation
“Reinforcement . ”.
When he muttered out those words, his body, armed with muscles that had transformed into solid armour, suddenly ballooned up explosively
Shu-wahck!.
His near two-metre-tall physique transformed into a monster over three metres tall in the blink of an eye
“Uwaaaaah-!!”.
Thomas Andre roared out like an angry beast and raised both of his arms, now as thick as a marble pillar, high above his head . All of this happened way too fast!.
‘… !’.
Jin-Woo, in the middle of his sprint, sensed danger up ahead
‘What could it be?’.
His brain fell into a dilemma . The thing was, not once did his instincts lie to him in moments of great peril . Jin-Woo hurriedly stopped his forward movement and almost at the same time, jumped backwards
With the difference of a millisecond, Thomas Andre’s massive fists pounded on the ground below
Kwa-kwang!!.
Everything caught within the radius disintegrated from the horrifying shock wave
His skill, ‘Demolition’
That incredible might forced Jin-Woo to take several more steps backwards, even though he had already escaped to a safe zone
Tumble…
Debris flung up into the air fell down like raindrops
As befitting a Hunter who subjugated a Dragon, his sturdiness and destructive power were second to none . But, there was no time to remain stunned . Another loud roar exploded out from Thomas Andre’s mouth
“Capture!”.
A powerful gravitational pulling force with Thomas Andre as the centre began yanking everything within the range towards him .  Shadow Soldiers and Hunters all got into a messy tangle and flew towards his position
Jin-Woo might have been one of the targets of this skill, ‘Capture’, but he used ‘Ruler’s Authority’ to repel away the pulling force
And when he finally managed to break free from that powerful force and jumped rearward one more time…
… . Thomas Andre’s ‘Demolition’ skill burst forth yet again
KWA-JEECK!!.
Not just the Shadow Soldiers, but even the Hunters of the Scavenger got swept away by the shock wave
“Uwaahk!!”.
“Euh, euh… . ”.
Screams rose up from here and there
The Vice-Master had discovered this horrifying situation rather late and yelled out at the top of his lungs
“Get away from the Master! Now!!”.
Three, four fleet-footed Hunters quickly retrieved their injured colleagues and escaped to the back . Meanwhile, Thomas Andre and his emotionless face viciously dashed towards Jin-Woo’s location
A rank of ‘Special Authority’ implied one was afforded the same level of rights as an independent nation .
His fist scythed the air
He already knew it all too well
He knew better than anyone that he was too slow to land a punch on this b*stard possessing the nimbleness of a wild beast . Especially so, when he was in his reinforced state
His strength and defence would be enhanced to an unimaginable degree, but at the same time, his speed would drop proportionally . Fortunately enough for Thomas Andre, though, he possessed a skill that could easily cover for that drawback
He extended his hand out to Jin-Woo who was rapidly creating distance between them
‘Capture!’.
Once more, a powerful, incredibly attractive force activated between the two men . The American knew he’d not miss his prey now
With his body fortified through the ‘Reinforcement’ skill, his attention wouldn’t be stolen away from some measly diversionary tricks
As expected, Seong Jin-Woo was yanked back in with ease
Leaving his extended left hand as it was, Thomas Andre pulled his right hand back and clenched it into a tight fist . An enormous amount of magical energy, enough to smash the torso of a top-ranked Hunter apart into a gory mess, gathered into his right fist
Skill, ‘Power Smash’
Thomas Andre’s fist, carrying a gob-smacking level of destructive power, slowly moved forward . But then, it happened
‘… ??’.
His eyes opened wider . He saw Jin-Woo’s own right arm muscles suddenly expanding greatly in size
‘Could he be… thinking of directly confronting me?’.
Finding this incredulous, Thomas Andre increased the pulling power . However, Jin-Woo didn’t try to evade it but actually used his ‘Ruler’s Authority’ to further increase his momentum, instead
The American cried out in shock
“D*mn it!”.
Jin-Woo approached far quicker than Thomas Andre had anticipated and threw a punch a little quicker than his counterpart could .
Thomas Andre saw a flash of light before his eyes and finally realised it
‘The first attack he hit me with was… . ’.
The attack he failed to see back then was precisely this one
BOOM!!.
Thomas Andre flew away like a rocket, demolished the wall of the disused factory and rolled around on the dirt for quite some time . The deep and lengthy pit left behind on the ground by his sliding body resembled furrows on a field
“Keu-heuk . ”.
He hurriedly pushed himself off the ground, but Jin-Woo was already standing before him by then . Thomas Andre roared out and threw countless punches
“Uwaaaah!!”.
Every time his fists flew past, the ground exploded and the air was split seemingly into pieces . Each hit was ferocious enough to utterly destroy a person’s body from just a light touch
Unfortunately, none of those could actually touch Jin-Woo
He simply dodged all of Thomas Andre’s fists and accurately landed every one of his counters on the American’s vital spots
Kwang!! Ka-boom!! Kwahng!!.

How could this be… . ?.
‘How can a Mage-type Hunter be this powerful and this fast?’.
The more confused he got, the greater the physical damage he suffered
‘Am I… Am I losing?’.
But, that couldn’t be happening
No, that must not happen
His ability to overwhelm his enemies with pure physical violence was the sole reason for his existence, the only thing proving that he was him and not someone else
Thomas Andre gritted his blood-soaked teeth . His eyes under the arched-up brows emitted a maddened glow
“Uwaaahh-!!”.
He punched with everything he had, but Jin-Woo evaded that again and smacked the American’s chin
Puh-geok!.
Thomas Andre shook his head hard to get rid of the impact force ringing in his head . But, in that brief gap, Jin-Woo had dug in until he was right below the American’s nose and attacked consecutively and without mercy
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!.
“Keo-heok!!”.
Thomas Andre, who once resembled a towering fortress, now began faltering around
He unsteadily tottered about as he backed away . He somehow managed to regain his balance and cried out venomously
“I am none other than Thomas Andre!! You think you can bring me down with only that much?!”.
“That’s why I told you before . ”.
Kwa-boom!!.
Jin-Woo punched Thomas Andre’s chin upwards and spoke
“It doesn’t matter who you are . ”.
Thomas Andre’s head was shot up towards the sky, but he stopped it from going any further . Enraged beyond himself now, the Goliath raised his tightly interlocked fists up high above his head
“Demolition!!”.
BOOM!!.
The ground exploded and quaked violently as he slammed down with all his might . Too bad, Jin-Woo was no longer there
“Where…?!”.
Thomas Andre’s glare hurriedly wandered around to find Jin-Woo
It was then
He belatedly realised that a lump of incredible magical energy was falling from above him
He quickly looked up
Jin-Woo had leapt up before the skill ‘Demolition’ was activated and now, he was descending towards his American target
His elbow powerfully slammed down on Thomas Andre’s face
KWA-BOOM!!.
***.
Dozens of vehicles stopped almost all at once in a location fairly far away from the abandoned factory . It was decided that getting any closer would be dangerous for them
The folks climbing out of the vehicles were elite Hunters affiliated with the Hunter Bureau . Every single one of them was a distinguished, excellent Hunter in their own right
However, despite being with such great Hunters, Adam White couldn’t feel reassured at all right now . But, that was understandable when these people were being compared to Hunters Seong Jin-Woo and Thomas Andre, plus the entirety of the Scavenger Guild’s elites
The rank S Hunter tasked with commanding the Bureau’s own Hunter forces, a man named Brent, could only shake his head with a stiff facial expression
“Oh, my god… ”.
Just what kind of monsters were fighting right now to emit this much magical energy?.
His feet didn’t want to budge from the spot, but Adam White was right behind him, waiting to be guided forward with a pair of pleading eyes . Brent had no choice but to give up and spoke in a resigned voice
“It’s over there . However, it truly is dangerous, so my advice is, you need to be dead sure about this . ”.
Adam White nodded his head
KWA-BOOM!!.
It was at that moment something shot up high in the air along with a loud, explosive noise, before crashing back down to the ground
“… . ??”.
Adam White looked in the direction of that noise, before quickly shifting his gaze back to Brent . The rank S Hunter couldn’t bring himself to close shut his slack jaw
Adam White urgently asked him
“W-what was that just now?”.
“If, If I haven’t made a mistake, then that was… ”.
How could Brent, a rank S Hunter, make a mistake with his identification? Even then, he hesitated greatly before carrying on
“It was Mister Thomas Andre falling from the air . ”.
“What was that?!”.
“Even I can’t be sure… . ”.
Adam White’s eyes grew incredibly large as he hurriedly shouted out
“Hurry! We need to go there right now!”.
Brent watched Adam White run over there and gestured to other Hunters to follow them
The Hunter Bureau’s group soon arrived at the location where two gigantic masses of magic energy were colliding against each other . And then, they all saw it
“Heok . ”.
They saw the scene of the one and only Thomas Andre being pummelled into a rag by a lone Asian Hunter
Pow! Pooow! Powww!.
Brent freaked out and pointed at that sight
“T-Thomas… Mister Thomas Andre is being beaten up by Hunter Seong Jin-Woo!!”.
“I can also see that!”.
Adam White repeatedly stamped his feet on the ground in pure vexation . Even from this far, he could tell that Thomas Andre’s condition as he was getting beaten to a pulp by Jin-Woo didn’t look so good
Brent hurriedly asked with an expression of someone not knowing what to do
“What should we do now?”.
“We need to stop them! Are you planning to stay back and watch a Special Authority-rank Hunter get beaten to death?!”.
“You want us to stop that?? You mean, stop that man?!”.
Brent stared dumbfoundedly at the Asian Hunter emitting a truly nonsensical amount of magic power – it was so enormous, in fact, he didn’t even want to go anywhere near that maelstrom if he could help it
But, before he had a chance to say those words out loud, Adam White dashed forward
He might be a Hunter Bureau agent, but still, he was a regular person . He could lose his life simply by coming into contact with magical energy being emitted from a top-ranked Hunter
Brent’s expression crumpled as he weighed options, but eventually, he spat out a pained groan and chased after Adam to run towards Jin-Woo
“Agent White!”.
***.
Thomas Andre’s face was stomped on by the elbow and he knelt down to the ground . Both of his hands dug deep into the earth below
“Euh, euh… . Uwaaaah!!”.
He somehow managed to raise his upper torso up and continued with his attacks . Unfortunately, he had sustained too much damage to his physical body and his fists couldn’t attack with the same level of destructive force anymore
Jin-Woo saw those now-sluggish punches and re-confirmed the tide of battle turning towards his favour . These powerless flailing arms of Thomas Andre now only contained the losing man’s ultimately meaningless rage and desire to kill Jin-Woo
The Korean Hunter smoothly and easily evaded those punches and counter-attacked once more
Kwang!! Ka-boom!!.

Every time Thomas Andre’s head snapped in one direction or to the other side, blood spat out from his face . He lost his balance and tottered around unsteadily . Jin-Woo remained merciless as he kicked the American man
Ka-boom!!.
“Keok!”.
The colliding magic energy exploded and Thomas Andre’s body rocketed up into the sky
‘Ruler’s Authority . ’.
He yanked at the American man flying up endlessly into the air, causing his victim to crash-land back down to Earth with no resistance whatsoever
BOOM-!!.
“Cough!”.
Thomas Andre lay sprawled on the ground and vomited out a mouthful of blood . Jin-Woo mounted on top of him
And just like when he was fighting against the demon king Baran back in the Demon’s Castle, he grasped Thomas Andre’s neck and slammed down with his other fist
Pow! Slam!! Boom!.
He could sense Thomas Andre’s resistance weaken gradually
Pow! Boom! Pow!.
And finally – just as Jin-Woo raised his fist high up to land the finisher, he heard a certain someone’s desperate cry
“Seong Jin-Woo Hunter-nim! Please, stop!
Jin-Woo disinterestedly stared at Adam White running towards him before clenching his fist tightly again . A horrifying amount of magical energy roiled around his greatly-expanded shoulder muscles and his fist
“N-no! Stop!”.
Just before the fist could slam down on the target….
As Adam White cried out, his hand reaching out in desperation….
… .  I lost . ”.
Whoosh-!.
Jin-Woo’s fist stopped millimetres away from the American’s nose
As if he had used up all of his energy just to surrender, Thomas Andre lost his consciousness right afterwards and went limp
Only then did Jin-Woo withdraw his fist and wordlessly got back up
Soon afterwards, Hunters affiliated with the Bureau cautiously filed in around him and Thomas Andre on the ground
***.
“What the f*ck…  Did this really happen? Seriously?!”.
A certain reporter was muttering to himself as he continuously snapped one photo after another
Originally, he planned to snap a few shots of the Scavenger Guild Hunters getting ready for a raid . But now….
All he did was to simply follow after the Hunters who inexplicably cancelled the raid and began moving to somewhere . So, how on earth could he explain this?.
The reporter initially thought that there was a dungeon break happening somewhere . But the spectacle unfolding before his eyes easily exceeded his wildest imaginations
He used the zoom function to confirm the face of the man lying sprawled on the ground once more time
That was a rather familiar face, that’s for sure
Without a doubt, that face belonged to the Special Authority-rank Hunter, Thomas Andre
‘Oh, my god… . Just who can beat Thomas Andre up like that?!’.
The reporter spat out a shocked gasp as he scrolled through the images he had taken so far
And at the same time, his heart trembled in excitement after realising that the photos contained within this little camera would net him a huge wad of cash

The most simple family of topologies that give birth to the bus-based networks. Each node is connected to a single shared medium that is common to all the nodes. The most important advantage of bus is that the distance of two nodes is constant O(1) and the cost scale linearly as the number of nodes p7. A message from the source is broadcasted to all machines connected to the bus and every machine ignore the message except for the intended address for the message that accept the data. The low cost of implementing this topology if tradeoff by the difficulties in managing it and plus, because of the bounded bandwidth of buses, typical bus-based machine are limited to dozen of nodes.


Genesis 25:27-34
I grew up longing for a sister who would be a friend and playmate. In my daydreams, she and I would share clothes, do each other’s hair, and tell secrets that made us laugh. While I was great at sisterly love in my daydream world, I wasn’t very good at it in the closest sister relationship I had in real life. During my elementary school years, we lived one block away from my stepfather’s sister and her family. I had two step-cousins who were very close to me in age. Chelsey, the oldest of the two, was only a year behind me in school. We grew up playing together daily, sleeping over at each other’s houses, going to the same school, and getting involved in the same activities. That last part was where things started to get tough. I was excited to start taking dance lessons. Chelsey signed up for the same class and pirouetted beside me at the recital. I joined the children’s choir at church. Chelsey and I competed for the same solos. I signed up for the tennis team.
Although we didn’t live in the same house, my feelings for Chelsey were a lot like those my friends described having toward their siblings. One minute I loved having a friend and a playmate who was around all the time; another minute I was overwhelmed with feelings of jealousy and competition. I didn’t like sharing the family spotlight. I treated her one minute like the sister I longed for and the next like a distrusted adversary. As we got older and the issues of competition had higher stakes, I pushed our friendship further and further away. Looking back, I wish I’d embraced what could have been a lifelong closeness instead of holding her at arm’s length.
Siblings, cousins, and other close family members are often our first playmates, our first friends, and our first enemies—our first reality check that the world does not revolve around us. They help us define who we are and how we will treat others for a lifetime.
This certainly was true for Jacob and Esau. Their sibling rivalry began early: in the womb. As we read yesterday, their mother even cried out to God because their prenatal scuffles were so painful. As soon as they were born, their inheritance and place in the family was sealed for life.
When his twin brother, Esau, beat him to the finish line to be born first by a matter of minutes, Jacob’s position for life was supposedly decided. As the second-born, Jacob would have inherited only a fraction of his parents’ wealth,

Patteeswaram is located around 8 km from Kumbakonam and is famous for the Sri Durgai Shrine and a Shiva Temple called the Sri Dhenupureeswarar Temple. It is believed that Sri Durga, also known as Vishnu Durga, was placed in the Durgai Temple by the Cholas. The Cholas brought the idol to this place and built a separate shrine for the goddess. The idol of Sri Durga has three eyes and eight hands. The idol stands over the body of Mahishasura, the famous demon king. It is 7.7 kilometers from kumbakonam.
Visiting Timings:-6am to 1pm and 4pm to 9pm and Friday:6am to 1pm and 4pm to 10pm
Normally we do not find much temples for Lord Brahma. Here we have an unique temple which is clean and less crowded.Here lord Brahma idol has four faces and the face which is facing back is a female face which has to be seen in the mirror. One has to request the temple priest to show the fourth face of Brahma in the mirror.This temple is behind Ramaswamy temple. It is 1.9 kilometers from kumbakonam.

There are mnany powerfull frameworks which are available as an open source to bulid custom UI/UX. Checkout my project section for live example.
Everything can not be stored on the client's machine as there are features which are to be used at the server side to monitor and control the clients activities
To build a effective user friendly UI means to ease the complexity of the features by using self explanatory graphics so that users get the idea of what to do next without taking any help from others
The most common and most powerfull device which is always in our pockets is our mobile. So it becomes a necessity for the all businesses to build apps for their customer satisfaction and to be on top of busines.
Search Engine Optimization is now becoming a very demanding skill to get an edge in business due to very high competition. So in order to come on top of the search results SEO is must.
Since the world is now available more online than face to face marketing strategies are also changing to reach the target customers.


The features used here only work in FF4beta7+ natively, but with polyfiller.js, they work cross-browser.
Note: That we have only changed on line of code (i.e.: polyfiller.js).

Definition: Leche de Tigre
by Susannah ChenMy latest transfixion is ceviche, and my favorite part of the dish is what's known as leche de tigre. Leche de tigre, or tiger's milk, is the Peruvian term for the citrus-based marinade that cures the seafood in a ceviche. Also known as leche de pantera, this leftover fish runoff usually contains lime juice, sliced onion, chiles, salt, and pepper — along with a bit of fish juice. In Peru, the invigorating potion is often served alongside ceviche in a small glass and believed to be both a hangover cure as well as an aphrodisiac.

Enter some English text below to have it translated into Stevia-speak.
v1.2.11
Mr. Stevia is a fictional character who is based off of how some people type online. He has perfect spelling yet atrocious grammar.
This satirical translator and its contents are meant for entertainment purposes and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.


MDW variables are persisted in databases as strings in order to preserve their values during long running business processes. Each variable type is associated with a variable translator, which translates between the persistent format (strings) and the object format.
For simple data types (string, integer, date, etc), the variable values are stored along with the variable instance in the VARIABLE_INSTANCE table. For complex data types such as XML documents, service orders, and tables, the objects are stored in the DOCUMENT table, and the values of the variables are of the class DocumentReference, which is basically a reference (ID) to the document object in the DOCUMENT table.
Documents can also be used outside the context of variables, typically for storing messages received from or sent to external systems.
We are covering these in more details below.
To get or set values of variable instances, you can use
the methods getParameterValue
and setParameterValue
,
as in the examples:
Integer value = (Integer)this.getParameterValue("my_variable_name"); setParameterValue("my_variable_name", new Integer(123));Note you will need to ensure the object class matches the declared variable type for the given variable instance. For historical reasons, the method names refer to variables as "parameters", which are only appropriate when they are used for parameter passing (input/output modes).
The following table contains other methods related to variables, and refer to Javadoc for more information on the methods.
| Example method | Purpose |
|---|---|
| getVariableInstanceVO(varname) | get the variable instance object, which contains properties about the variable instance in addition to the value |
| getParameters() | return an array of all variable instance objects for the process instance |
| VariableTranslator.toString(vartype, value) | Convert the value object to the string format in the database |
| VariableTranslator.toObject(vartype, string) | Convert the string format into an object of the given variable type |
The type of the variable (indeed the translator associated with the variable type)
determines whether the variable is a document variable -- the translator
for a document variable type must extends the class DocumentReferenceTranslator
which itself extends the class VariableTranslator
, whereas
the translator for a non-document variable type extends VariableTranslator
directly. A DocumentReferenceTranslator
contains
final implementation of the two abstract methods, toString()
and toObject()
, of VariableTranslator
,
while demands two additional abstract methods, realToString
and realToObject
, to be implemented by concrete classes.
The basic methods translate between String
and DocumentReference
,
whereas the two new methods translate between String
and
the actual object class such as org.w3c.dom.Document
.
A document is stored in the database table DOCUMENT. The content of the document is stored as a string in a CLOB. The database table contains a couple of additional columns for querying and life cycle handling. Their values are not essential for work flow execution but are needed for querying, cleaning up and archiving purposes. These fields include
DocumentReference
, which contains basically an ID for the document
in the database table DOCUMENT.
The methods mentioned above all perform on the objects of
this class. The additional methods are used
to access the actual objects (instead of the reference objects).
Here is an example for retrieving the document from variable:
DocumentReference docref = (DocumentReference)this.getParameterValue("my_variable_name"); Object doc = this.getDocument(docref);The following example shows how to create a new document and bind it to a variable:
Object doc; // your object type, such as XmlObject String varType; // the variable type DocumentReference docref = this.createDocument(varType, doc, OwnerType.VARIABLE_REFERENCE, new Long(0)); Long varInstId = this.setParameterValue(name, docref); this.updateDocumentInfo(docref, null, null, null, varInstId, null, null);The following is an example for updating the document referenced by the variable:
Object doc; // your object with updated value DocumentReference docref = (DocumentReference)this.getParameterValue("my_variable_name"); this.updateDocument(docref, doc);Indeed there is a simpler way to perform the above two functions:
this.setParameterValueAsDocument(varName, varType, doc);This creates the document and binds the variable instance with the document reference if the variable is not yet bound, or updates the document the variable instances references when the variable is already bound to a document reference.
The following method determines if a variable type is a document variable:
if (VariableTranslator.isDocumentReferenceVariable(varType)) { ... ... }
DocumentReference
objects contain a server field referring to the owning
application. The field is null for local document.
Remote documents are accessed in a similar way as local documents. We note there are following differences:
By using remote document references, we can avoid passing large documents between different work flow applications.
To check if a document reference object refers to a remote document, use
if (documentReference.getServer()!=null) ... ...
If there is a good reason to add an additional type, you need to insert an entry in the database table VARIABLE_TYPE, as in
insert into variable_type values (501, 'org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject', sysdate, 'cuid', '', '', '', 'com.centurylink.mdw.common.translator.impl.XmlBeanTranslator');where 3 values are significant:
com.centurylink.mdw.common.translator.VariableTranslator
.
Indeed, since the new type you are adding is likely non-primitive, we require
custom variable types to be implemented as documents,
which requires your translator to extend the abstract class
com.centurylink.mdw.common.translator.DocumentReferenceTranslator
,
which you will need to implement two methods: realToString
and realToObject
.
