26.7 Using Phone Number Facets
Now that we have laid the groundwork, we are almost ready to format phone numbers. Here is an example of how instances of the new facet class can be used:
using std::cout;
using std::endl;
using std::locale;
cout.imbue (locale (locale::classic (), new US_phone_put)); //1
cout << PhoneNumber ("Fr", "1", "60 17 07 16") << endl;
cout << PhoneNumber ("US", "303", "545-3200") << endl;
cout.imbue (locale (locale ("Fr"),
new Fr_phone_put (&myCountryCodes))); //2
cout << PhoneNumber ("Allemagne", "89", "636-40938") << endl; //3
| //1 | Imbue an output stream with a locale object that has a phone number facet object. In the example above, it is the US English ASCII locale with a US phone number facet, and
|
| //2 | A French locale using a French phone number facet with a particular country code table.
|
| //3 | Output phone numbers using the inserter function. The output is:
1-33-1-60170716
|
(303) 545-3200
|
19 49 89 636 40938

type TRectRounding = (rrClosest, rrOutside, rrInside);
Desctiption
TRectRounding type is involved in
conversion from TFloatRect/TFixedRect
to TRect. It specifies how the coordinates
are rounded:
- rrClosest – a simple Round() function is used for
each coordinate;
- rrOutside – Floor() is used for Left
and Top; Ceil() – for
Right and Bottom;
- rrInside – Ceil() is used for Left
and Top; Floor() –
for Right and Bottom;

A Brief Description
Preface
Computers are some of the most versatile tools that we have available. They are capable of performing stunning feats of computation, they allow information to be exchanged easily regardless of their physical location, they simplify many every-day tasks, and they allow us to automate many processes that would be tedious or boring to perform otherwise. However, computers are not "intelligent" as we are. They have to be told in no uncertain terms exactly what they're supposed to do, and their native languages are quite unlike anything we speak.  So far, computers cannot figure out what they are supposed to do on their own, and thus they rely on
programs which we create, which are sets of instructions that the computer can understand and follow.
An Overview of Programs and Programming Languages
In order to better communicate to our computers what exactly it is we want them to do, we've developed a wide range of
programming languages to make the communication process easier.
Depending on the type of project, there are many factors that have to be considered when choosing a language. Here is a list of some of the more noteworthy ones:
- Compiled, interpreted, or JIT-compiled
Compiled languages are translated to the target machine's native language by a program called a compiler. This can result in very fast code, especially if the compiler is effective at optimizing, however the resulting code may not port well across operating systems and the compilation process may take a while.
Interpreted languages are read by a program called an interpreter and are executed by that program. While they are as portable as their interpreter and have no long compile times, interpreted languages are usually much slower than an equivalent compiled program.
Finally, just-in-time compiled (or JIT-compiled) languages are languages that are quickly compiled when programs written in them need to be run (usually with very little optimization), offering a balance between performance and portability.
- High or Low Level
Level, in this case, refers to how much the nature of the language reflects the underlying system. In other words, a programming language's level refers to how similar the language is to a computer's native language. The higher the level, the less similar it is.
A low-level language is generally quite similar to machine code, and thus is more suitable for programs like device drivers or very high performance programs that really need access to the hardware. Generally, the term is reserved for machine code itself and assembly languages, though many languages offer low-level elements. Since a low-level language is subject to all the nuances of the hardware it's accessing, however, a program written in a low-level language is generally difficult to port to other platforms. Low level languages are practically never interpreted, as this generally defeats the purpose.
A high-level language focuses more on concepts that are easy to understand by the human mind, such as objects or mathematical functions. A high-level language usually is easier to understand than a low-level language, and it usually takes less time to develop a program in a high-level language than it does in a low-level language. As a trade-off one generally needs to sacrifice some degree of control over what the resulting program actually does. It is not, however, impossible to mix high-level and low-level functionality in a language.
- Type System
A type system refers to the rules that the different types of variables of a language have to follow. Some languages (including most assembly languages) do not have types and thus this section does not apply to them. However, as most languages (including C++) have types, this information is important.
- Type Strength: Strong or Weak
A strong typing system puts restrictions on how different types of variables can be converted to each other without any converting statements. An ideal strong typing system would forbid implicit "casts" to types that do not make any sense, such as an integer to a Fruit object. A weak typing system would try to find some way to make the cast work.
- Type Expression: Manifest or Inferred
This deals with how the compiler/interpreter for a language infers the types of variables. Many languages require variables' types to be explicitly defined, and thus rely on manifest typing. Some however, will infer the type of the variable based on the contexts in which it is used, and thus use inferred typing.
- Type Checking: Static or Dynamic
If a language is statically typed, then the compiler/interpreter does the type checking once before the program runs/is compiled. If the language is dynamically type checked, then the types are checked at run-time.
- Type Safety: Safe or Unsafe
These refer to the degree to which a language will prohibit operations on typed variables that might lead to undefined behavior or errors. A safe language will do more to ensure that such operations or conversions do not occur, while an unsafe language will give more responsibility to the user in this regard.
These typing characteristics are not necessarily mutually exclusive, and some languages mix them.
- Supported paradigms
A programming paradigm is a methodology or way of programming that a programming language supports. Here is a summary of a few common paradigms:
- Declarative
A declarative language will focus more on specifying what a language is supposed to accomplish rather than by what means it is supposed to accomplish it. Such a paradigm might be used to avoid undesired side-effects resulting from having to write one's own code.
- Functional
Functional programming is a subset of declarative programming that tries to express problems in terms of mathematical equations and functions. It goes out of its way to avoid the concepts of states and mutable variables which are common in imperative languages.
- Generic
Generic programming focuses on writing skeleton algorithms in terms of types that will be specified when the algorithm is actually used, thus allowing some leniency to programmers who wish to avoid strict strong typing rules. It can be a very powerful paradigm if well-implemented.
- Imperative
Imperative languages allow programmers to give the computer ordered lists of instructions without necessarily having to explicitly state the task. It can be thought of being the opposite of declarative programming.
- Structured
Structured programming languages aim to provide some form of noteworthy structure to a language, such as intuitive control over the order in which statements are executed (if X then do Y otherwise do Z, do X while Y is Z). Such languages generally deprecate "jumps", such as those provided by the goto statement in C and C++.
- Procedural
Although it is sometimes used as a synonym for imperative programming, a procedural programming language can also refer to an imperative structured programming language which supports the concept of procedures and subroutines (also known as functions in C or C++).
- Object-Oriented
Object-Oriented programming (sometimes abbreviated to OOP) is a subset of structured programming which expresses programs in the terms of "objects", which are meant to model objects in the real world. Such a paradigm allows code to be reused in remarkable ways and is meant to be easy to understand.
- Standardization
Does a language have a formal standard? This can be very important to ensure that programs written to work with one compiler/interpreter will work with another. Some languages are standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), some are standardized by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and some have an informal but de-facto standard not maintained by any standards organization.
The Features of C++ as a Language
Now that all the necessary theory has been covered, now it is possible to explain what C++ has to offer as a programming language. C++...
- ...is an open ISO-standardized language.
For a time, C++ had no official standard and was maintained by a de-facto standard, however since 1998, C++ is standardized by a committee of the ISO. Their page may be accessed here.
- ...is a compiled language.
C++ compiles directly to a machine's native code, allowing it to be one of the fastest languages in the world, if optimized.
- ...is a strongly-typed unsafe language.
C++ is a language that expects the programmer to know what he or she is doing, but allows for incredible amounts of control as a result.
- ...supports both manifest and inferred typing.
As of the latest C++ standard, C++ supports both manifest and inferred typing, allowing flexibility and a means of avoiding verbosity where desired.
- ...supports both static and dynamic type checking.
C++ allows type conversions to be checked either at compile-time or at run-time, again offering another degree of flexibility. Most C++ type checking is, however, static.
- ...offers many paradigm choices.
C++ offers remarkable support for procedural, generic, and object-oriented programming paradigms, with many other paradigms being possible as well.
- ...is portable.
As one of the most frequently used languages in the world and as an open language, C++ has a wide range of compilers that run on many different platforms that support it. Code that exclusively uses C++'s standard library will run on many platforms with few to no changes.
- ...is upwards compatible with C
C++, being a language that directly builds off C, is compatible with almost all C code. C++ can use C libraries with few to no modifications of the libraries' code.
- ...has incredible library support.
A search for "library" on the popular project-management website SourceForge will yield over 3000 results for C++ libraries. A link to the results of the search may be found here.

SCENE. Venice. A street
(Enter SALANIO and SALARINO.)
SALANIO.
Now, what news on the Rialto?
SALARINO.
Why, yet it lives there unchecked that Antonio hath a ship
of rich lading wrack'd on the narrow seas; the Goodwins, I think
they call the place, a very dangerous flat and fatal, where the
carcasses of many a tall ship lie buried, as they say, if my
gossip Report be an honest woman of her word.
SALANIO.
I would she were as lying a gossip in that as ever knapped
ginger or made her neighbours believe she wept for the death of a
third husband. But it is true,—without any slips of prolixity or
crossing the plain highway of talk,—that the good Antonio, the
honest Antonio,—O that I had a title good enough to keep his
name
company!—
SALARINO.
Come, the full stop.
SALANIO.
Ha! What sayest thou? Why, the end is, he hath lost a
ship.
SALARINO.
I would it might prove the end of his losses.
SALANIO.
Let me say 'amen' betimes, lest the devil cross my prayer,
for here he comes in the likeness of a Jew.
(Enter SHYLOCK.)
How now, Shylock! What news among the merchants?
SHYLOCK.
You knew, none so well, none so well as you, of my
daughter's flight.
SALARINO.
That's certain; I, for my part, knew the tailor that made
the wings she flew withal.
SALANIO.
And Shylock, for his own part, knew the bird was fledged;
and then it is the complexion of them all to leave the dam.
SHYLOCK.
She is damned for it.
SALARINO.
That's certain, if the devil may be her judge.
SHYLOCK.
My own flesh and blood to rebel!
SALANIO.
Out upon it, old carrion! Rebels it at these years?
SHYLOCK.
I say my daughter is my flesh and my blood.
SALARINO.
There is more difference between thy flesh and hers than
between jet and ivory; more between your bloods than there is
between red wine and Rhenish. But tell us, do you hear whether
Antonio have had any loss at sea or no?
SHYLOCK.

SALARINO.
Why, I am sure, if he forfeit, thou wilt not take his
flesh: what's that good for?
SHYLOCK.
To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will
feed my revenge. He hath disgrac'd me and hind'red me half a
million; laugh'd at my losses, mock'd at my gains, scorned my
nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine
enemies. And what's his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes?
Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections,
passions, fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons,
subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed
and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is?  If you tickle us, do we not laugh?
 And if you wrong us, shall we
not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you
in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility?
Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance
be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villaiy you teach me
I will execute; and it shall go hard but I will better the
instruction.
(Enter a Servant.)
SERVANT.
Gentlemen, my master Antonio is at his house, and desires to
speak with you both.
SALARINO.
We have been up and down to seek him.
(Enter TUBAL.)
SALANIO.
Here comes another of the tribe: a third cannot be
match'd, unless the devil himself turn Jew.
(Exeunt SALANIO, SALARINO, and Servant.)
SHYLOCK.
How now, Tubal! what news from Genoa? Hast thou found my
daughter?
TUBAL.
I often came where I did hear of her, but cannot find her.
SHYLOCK.
Why there, there, there, there! A diamond gone, cost me
two thousand ducats in Frankfort! The curse never fell upon our
nation till now; I never felt it till now. Two thousand ducats in
that, and other precious, precious jewels. I would my daughter
were dead at my foot, and the jewels in her ear; would she were
hearsed at my foot, and the ducats in her coffin! No news of
them? Why, so: and I know not what's spent in the search. Why,
thou—loss upon loss! The thief gone with so much, and so much to
find the thief; and no satisfaction, no revenge; nor no ill luck
stirring but what lights on my shoulders; no sighs but of my
breathing; no tears but of my shedding.
TUBAL.
Yes, other men have ill luck too. Antonio, as I heard in
Genoa,—
SHYLOCK.
What, what, what? Ill luck, ill luck?
TUBAL.
—hath an argosy cast away, coming from Tripolis.
SHYLOCK.
I thank God! I thank God! Is it true, is it true?
TUBAL.
I spoke with some of the sailors that escaped the wrack.
SHYLOCK.
I thank thee, good Tubal. Good news, good news! ha, ha!
Where? in Genoa?
TUBAL.
Your daughter spent in Genoa, as I heard, one night,
fourscore ducats.
SHYLOCK.
Thou stick'st a dagger in me: I shall never see my gold
again: fourscore ducats at a sitting! Fourscore ducats!
TUBAL.
There came divers of Antonio's creditors in my company to
Venice that swear he cannot choose but break.
SHYLOCK.
I am very glad of it; I'll plague him, I'll torture him; I
am glad of it.
TUBAL.
One of them showed me a ring that he had of your daughter
for a monkey.
SHYLOCK.
Out upon her! Thou torturest me, Tubal: It was my
turquoise; I had it of Leah when I was a bachelor; I would not
have given it for a wilderness of monkeys.
TUBAL.
But Antonio is certainly undone.
SHYLOCK.
Nay, that's true; that's very true. Go, Tubal, fee me an
officer; bespeak him a fortnight before. I will have the heart of
him, if he forfeit; for, were he out of Venice, I can make what
merchandise I will. Go, Tubal, and meet me at our synagogue; go,
good Tubal; at our synagogue, Tubal.
(Exeunt.)

Review kills me. I struggle with finding a good balance between fun and actual, deep, review of ideas we’ve talked about during class. I also like to make review a little tough to see if they can apply the ideas, not just recall.
I think this original idea came from Crystal Kirch somewhere way back when, but I can’t seem to find the original blog post I think I may have read. Either way, here’s Trashketball.
I split my students into groups of five – it seemed to be the magic number. Threes and fours also worked well. The team could build an uber set of notes, pulling the best from whatever anyone could contribute. They would realize what they had missed over the unit and then add it to theirs as we went, which was nice. The rules are simple:
It was pretty incredible to see how different teams approached strategy. The incentive to answer questions accurately was high because if you get the question wrong, you can’t shoot for bonus points. You fall behind pretty quickly.
Secondly, some teams took the slow-and-steady approach. For each answer, they took easy, one or two point shots. Their score grew steadily while others took miracle shots, which only saved a team once out of the six games we played during the day. Also, teams didn’t consider the fact that shooting a four-point ball was as easy as hitting the Bonus Bucket from the two point line, which was purposely easy to do.
It’s an easy game to pull off with kids and the more you hype it up, the more fun it is. I took – and missed – plenty of “easy” shots, which broke the ice for those who were apprehensive about shooting a newspaper and tape ball. Others were knocked down a little because those long-range shots are hard to make.
I think, though, this was my favorite review because of the drive to do things well. All teams worked well together to answer questions, and that was important. I know exactly what needs to be discussed again leading into the test later this week. Kids were also attentive – up and moving around – which increased focus and helped everyone review the ideas of the unit.

For both trees (this ticket) and blobs (ticket #1698) need to think about URL design.
While the objects in question are identified by their SHA-1 hashes, for human users it would be nice to display the actual path names in the URL somehow.
Likewise, it is useful to be able to link directly to specific blobs/trees as they appear in a particular branch or tag; eg:
/repos/command-t/blobs/023cc318952347fa689f082d44020ae4ba3949bc
(not very human-friendly)
versus:
/repos/command-t/branches/master/blobs/README.txt
or:
/repos/command-t/blobs/branches/master/README.txt
etc. This would be straightforward if it weren't for the fact that Git is extremely liberal about what characters it allows in branch names. That is, branch names like
foo/bar
are not only allowed but are actually quite common in some projects (like git.git itself), so we can't just separate the URL on forward slashes.GitHub does it like this (no idea if it blows up with branch names that contain slashes):
GitWeb does it like this (note that it uses a colon as an explicit separator, much like Git does itself on the command line):
These also work:
- http://git.wincent.com/command-t.git/blob/master:/README.txt
- http://git.wincent.com/command-t.git/blob/HEAD:/README.txt
Raw downloads actually live in a different namespace:
Trees work like this:
- http://git.wincent.com/command-t.git/tree/195dedcca4726a5d61289e617447ccb415587f6a (top level tree)
- http://git.wincent.com/command-t.git/tree/195dedcca4726a5d61289e617447ccb415587f6a:/spec/command-t (subdirectory)
- http://git.wincent.com/command-t.git/tree/master:/spec/command-t (same, but using human-friendly shorthand)
I'm kind of leaning towards using a colon as a separator here too, provided I can get confirmation somewhere that a colon is not a legal character in either a branch or tag name.
Note that it is probably not necessary to directly support displaying blob contents via their hash IDs, as humans interacting with the repo only ever access blobs by a combination of commit and path name.
This would give us URLs like the following for blobs:
/repos/command-t/blobs/master:README.txt
And the same idea for trees:
/repos/command-t/trees/master
(no path would just show the top-level tree)/repos/command-t/trees/master:ruby
(ruby
subdirectory)
Presumably we can get the contents of the blobs via a simple
git cat-file blob ref:path
, obviously after checking thatref
refers to a reachable commit.Should also have no problems handling SHA-1 hashes or ref names with slashes in them:
/repos/command-t/trees/195dedcca4726a5d61289e617447ccb415587f6a:ruby
/repos/command-t/trees/HEAD:ruby
/repos/command-t/trees/foo/bar/branch:ruby

Greg Hurrell
Found this on legal branch names. Not sure how it was derived yet, but going to make a Legal Git branch names page on the wiki in any case.
-
Greg Hurrell
Note that it is probably not necessary to directly support displaying blob contents via their hash IDs, as humans interacting with the repo only ever access blobs by a combination of commit and path name.
Not only that, but we don't want to provide arbitrary access to blobs that might only be referenced by unreachable commits. So, must only allow access via a commit-ish.

A portlet is a Java technology based web component, managed by a portlet container, that processes requests and generates dynamic content. Portlets provide a presentation layer to Information Systems.
Portlets generate fragments of markup (e.g. HTML, XHTML, WML). A portal combines markup fragments generated by different portlets into a portal page.
A portlet container manages the lifecyle of portlets. It also provides the required runtime environment.
Portlets are bundled in Portlet Applications as web applications using the WAR file format. A portlet application consists of two deployment descriptors: one to specify the web application resources (web.xml) and one to specify the portlet resources (portlet.xml).

The logo bears a stylized CIN acronym against a heptagon.
The base is a Heptagon. Seven (7) sides to
represent Region 7 (Cebu Province) as its
core source of network, communities,
and innovations.
The stylized Cebu Innovation initials form the bulb.
The stylized Network initial form the cap.
It emphasizes that the community and network
is an essential foundation of innovation.
The logo resembles a bulb for obvious reason. It represents ideas.
The logo slightly resembles a bell because it is a call
to action to innovate or to work on & breed upon ideas.
The heptagon fits well in rounded collaterals like button pins.
There is no filament in the bulb to provide space and emphasize
that great ideas & innovations require autonomy despite being a network.
That space for innovation is open. Open to everyone or anyone.
The heptagon rests on its flat line to emphasize that the
Network’s Base is in Region 7.
A heptagon (with edge) is deliberately chosen to emphasize that
innovations are either leading edge or bleeding edge.
Network and Communities are essential foundation of innovation.

A loose network of academics and students who use machine learning principally for university research and funded local government projects. We use machine learning (neural nets, support vector machines, k-clustering, Bayesian analysis, decision trees, random forest, linear and logistic regression, dimensionality reduction, gradient boost, etc) to solve many interesting problems: traffic patterns, population density, weather and climate, LIDAR data, disease epidemiology, etc. We communicate and meet online from time to time.
A very small group of speech synthesis and voice command and natural language processing enthusiasts mostly from academia, some medical doctors and a few other professionals. The group just launched last June 2017 a pioneering initiative called SpeechShare, a 2-hour workshop that helps people activate and work with simple speech commands using the Microsoft Operating System. Some members of the group are active with speech recognition and voice interfaces. Others work with text using different parsing systems. Some work on CEB dictionaries and online translation.
A very small group of geolocation aficionados who have enjoyed support from DOST and DTI. The group meets infrequently. The group has 2 startups. Some academics and a number of professionals compose the group. A prominent geolocation foundation has been leading the group for some time and works with local governments for mapping projects. Many members of the group actively promote the use of geotechnologies for local government planning and corporate property management.
We are a group of linux users who have a vision to promote the use of Linux, GNU and open source software in Cebu.

{% endblock bodytag %} {% block m_column_content %}We began building Class2Go this past summer and now now have hordes of students taking Stanford classes for free.
Our stack is modern and sane: Python/Django and MySQL on the backend, Bootstrap, jQuery, Popcorn (and others) on the frontend. We bring up machines quickly in AWS with Chef.
All our source is on GitHub. Our bug list is there too. It's fun to work in a small team that can move fast — we ship weekly (at least!). And the Stanford campus is a cool place to work.
Local (or willing to re-locate) applicants only please.
We are looking for an engineer to work on core features for Class2Go. Nearly everything we do is in Python/Django. Not only can we get a lot done ourselves in Python, but there's a wonderful ecosystem of tools and features that we love to use.
You should be:
This engineer should be passionate about reliable and scalable cloud systems. Do you know the right way to build things, but never gotten the chance to do it right?
They will also be the team's release engineer. We need someone to set up code management and process for a codebase used by universities across the world.
We are looking for three skills:
Bring more client-side savvy to our site by developing in 80% Javascript and 20% Python. Use modern toolkits (e.g. backbone, require, underscore...) to make our site functional, beautiful, and engaging.

Here at Blue Verve, I encounter many types of clients and with them many varying expectations about how a project should be run. People’s experience runs the gamut. Some are hyper-organized, some are not. Some are hands on and some are absent (but interested)!
I’d like to talk a bit about what project management is for us, and which online tools we use and why. It’s not sexy, but it is part of what makes a project succeed and that is.
For basic project management we use Basecamp. While not as feature-rich as we would like, it has the features we absolutely need and an interface which is simple enough that clients don’t get frustrated while using it.
For our eagle-eye view of all our projects and resources, I use Team Gannt. This allows me to make sure we don’t overbook and that everyone can see where everyone else is in their projects.
We are spread our all over the globe and constantly traveling. It’s a facet of the modern world that we are all always accessible, almost always. Our core communication tool is, of course, Skype. We do online meetings, keep up to date, and solve problems together from anywhere.
There is Google Apps for email and calendaring.
From time to time, we do problem-solving or presentations using Team Viewer. It’s free, works well, and doesn’t crash. Awesome!
The Google suite of tools, from docs to drive, is really an amazing way to share and concurrently work on concepts together. The comments feature alone in google docs has changed the way we work together.
For our big files, we use Dropbox as a repository. The 100Gb option is a budget-conscious solution for small teams. For larger space needs, you can get a terabyte or more. The built-in version control has saved our asses more than once. My biggest gripe with Dropbox is that it currently isn’t possible to have granular control over sharing options. If you share a directory, all files and sub-directories will also be shared in the same way. This means that you can’t share a “Work” directory and then share a single project directory inside it with someone else. It’s a bit of a bummer.
For our sourcecode, we rely on Bitbucket for git and version control on a remote server.
A personal favorite of mine is Evernote for note-taking and general saving of snippets and ideas. There is just so much information online today that it is difficult to keep track of every link, every idea, and every tidbit. I really love how flexible evernote is.
For our bug-tracking and scenario development needs, we use JIRA. The interface isn’t great or pretty, but it is one hell of a work-horse!
We use Harvest for tracking hours. It’s ubiquitous interface gets out of your way, while being ever persistant on iPhone, mac, windows, and web.
There are literally dozens of project management tools on the market and what it really comes down to in the end is finding what is comfortable for you and your team. We like our set up, and it works for us. Is it perfect? No. But, really, what is? We’re always on the lookout for new ways to work more efficiently and as the market matures, the tools get better and better.


DOMDocument::getElementById
(PHP 5, PHP 7)
DOMDocument::getElementById — Searches for an element with a certain id
说明
public DOMElement DOMDocument::getElementById ( string $elementId )
This function is similar to DOMDocument::getElementsByTagName but searches for
an element with a given id.
For this function to work, you will need either to set some ID attributes with
DOMElement::setIdAttribute or a DTD which defines an attribute to be of type
ID. In the later case, you will need to validate your document with
DOMDocument::validate or DOMDocument::$validateOnParse before using this
function.
参数
elementId
The unique id value for an element.
返回值
Returns the DOMElement or NULL if the element is not found.

User Contributed Notes 9 notes
===============================================================================
Please note that if your HTML does not contain a doctype declaration, then
getElementById will always return null.
===============================================================================
If you're trying to use getElementById with a xml file validated on a xsd file
you must first use the schemaValidate function or getElementById will return
null
Example:
$dom = new DomDocument();
$dom->load("users.xml");
$dom->schemaValidate("users.xsd");
$curruser = $dom->getElementById($user->name);
===============================================================================
SAVE YOURSELF A MAJOR HEADACHE AND A LOT OF SEARCHING THROUGH DOCUMENTATION -
Instead of using $object->setAttribute('id', 'id_name_here')
USE THIS: $object->setAttribute('xml:id', 'id_name_here')
Then, to get the node value: $domDocumentObject->getElementById
('id_name_here');
The xml:id attribute should AUTOMATICALLY be defined!!
Woohoo! That was easy......
===============================================================================
Had some issues with getElementById() while searching for a specific element in
a XHTML document.
I wrote a small function what was solving my problem:
domDocument);
return $xpath->query("//*[@id='$id']")->item(0);
}
?>
===============================================================================
From my experience, getElementById seem to work fine without any setups if you
have loaded a HTML document. But in order for getElementById to work with a
simple XML document that you've "constructed", you have to set up the id with
"xml:" prefix and use setIdAttribute on the element you created or it won't
work. See following example, hope this will save someone's frustration. If you
have loaded the xml file, then all you have to make sure is the ID has a xml:
prefix for the attribute. But if you start to append the XML document, don't
forget to setIdAttribute on the id name or those elements or getElementById
will return null when you try to find them.
Some Data
*/
$xmlDom = new DOMDocument('1.0', 'utf-8');
$xmlDom->formatOutput = true; // we want a nice
output
// create a root
$eltRoot = $xmlDom->createElement("root");
$xmlDom->appendChild($eltRoot);
$eltChild = $xmlDom->createElement("child");
$eltRoot->appendChild($eltChild);
// add a id attribute
$attr = $xmlDom->createAttribute("xml:id"); // needs xml prefix or
getElementById won't work
$eltChild->appendChild($attr);
/// create the text node and append to the created element
$tNode = $xmlDom->createTextNode("id_8120528");
$attr->appendChild($tNode);
$eltChild->setIdAttribute("xml:id", true); // VERY IMPORT or
getElementById won't work
// add a id attribute
$attr = $xmlDom->createAttribute("status");
$eltChild->appendChild($attr);
/// create the text node and append to the created element
$tNode = $xmlDom->createTextNode("partial");
$attr->appendChild($tNode);
// add a subchild
$eltSub = $xmlDom->createElement("sub_child");
$eltChild->appendChild($eltSub);
$tNode = $xmlDom->createTextNode("Some Data");
$eltSub->appendChild($tNode);
$id = null;
$id = $xmlDom->getElementById("id_8120528");
assert ($id != null);
$strId = $id->getAttribute("xml:id"); // bug? empty
$strStatus = $id->getAttribute("status"); // this works!
assert ($id !=null);
$xmlDom->save("./_data/test.xml");
$xmlDom->load("./_data/test.xml"); // reloading fixes the problem
$nodeRoot = $xmlDom->getElementsByTagName("root");
if ($nodeRoot->length > 0) {
$eltRoot = $nodeRoot->item(0);
}
assert($eltRoot != null);
$id = null;
$id = $xmlDom->getElementById("id_8120528");
assert ($id != null);
$strId = $id->getAttribute("xml:id"); // this works now!
$strStatus = $id->getAttribute("status"); // this works!
?>
===============================================================================
Validating a document from a DTD so as to use getElementById is sometimes
impossible (for example when the head and body elements are not included yet in
a XHtml document : the validation failed).
Fortunately, xml:id is supported by this function :)
That may be useful.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-id/
===============================================================================
If your XML document does not have a DTD that defines the "id" attribute as an
ID, then the easiest thing to do is to use XPath->query() to find an element
that matches "//[@id='x']"
===============================================================================
It seems getElementById works fine without setting validateOnParse to true.
Which is nice since setting this to true caused some performance problems with
my script.
===============================================================================
You don't want to use "xml:id" ?
Here is the relaxNG trick (with a generic schema):
(tested with libxml 2.6.26)
load(...);
$rng = '
';
$doc->relaxNGValidateSource($rng);
var_dump($doc->getElementById('id1'));
?>
Note that ID values must be valid ones :
- integers do no work!
- @see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#id

2022 NBA Draft Board
June 23, 2022
Introduction
A proper intro-type blurb will be somehwere in my 2018, 2019, 2020, 2016-2020 draft retrospective, or 2021 posts. I don't feel like copying it here; these posts are mostly for posterity. As per last year, the draft snuck up on me so this was a bit rushed (please excuse any spelling/grammatical errors, I didn't do a lot of editing), so I didn't go quite as deep as I have in the past. Any players I looked at but didn't make my tiers (or I didn't have time to take a deeper look at) are noted in an Honorable Mention tier, sorted by an aggregated ranking method I used to find relevant prospects.
Tier 1 (~60+ FV)
- Paolo Banchero
-
PF
-
Duke
- Grade: Freshman
- Age: 19.6
- Height: 82 in
- Weight: 250 lbs
- Wingspan: 85 in
- Ape: +3
- ++: size, offensive creation, rim attacking
- +: passing
- -: defensive impact, shooting
- Additional Notes: upside of a big wing who can be a primary offensive creator (arguably the most valuable archtype in the sport)
- Jabari Smith
-
PF
-
Auburn
- Grade: Freshman
- Age: 19.1
- Height: 82 in
- Weight: 210 lbs
- ++: shooting
- +: age, height, perimeter and on-ball defensive given size
- -: ball handling, passing, offensive creation, interior defense
- Additional Notes: probably won't be a primary creator, but his size+shooting is a great combination for a secondary threat, with defensive upside to boot
- Chet Holmgren
-
PF
-
Gonzaga
- Grade: Freshman
- Age: 20.1
- Height: 84 in
- Weight: 195 lbs
- Wingspan: 89 in
- Ape: +5
- ++: rim protection, fluidity
- +: shooting, off-ball abilities (both sides)
- -: on-ball defense
- --: age, frame
- Additional Notes: for a player with such obvious strengths and weaknesses, it's difficult to determine what type of impact Holmgren will have given his uniqueness
Tier 2 (~50+ FV, no 55+ or 50 FV players)
- Dyson Daniels
-
SG
-
G League Ignite
- Age: 19.3
- Height: 79.5 in
- Weight: 195.2 lbs
- Wingspan: 82.5 in
- Reach: 105 in
- Ape: +3
- ++: basketball IQ, on-ball defense
- +: ball-handling, passing
- -: shooting, athleticism
- Additional Notes: high floor player based on passing, defense, and feel for the game, but still has untapped upside if the shooting improves
- Jeremy Sochan
-
PF
-
Baylor
- Grade: Freshman
- Age: 19.1
- Height: 81 in
- Weight: 230 lbs
- ++: defensive versatility
- +: age, size, motor
- -: playmaking
- --: shooting
- Additional Notes: best defensive wing in the draft, but a dicey offensive projection
- Bennedict Mathurin
-
SG
-
Arizona
- Grade: Sophomore
- Age: 20
- Height: 78 in
- Weight: 204.6 lbs
- Wingspan: 81 in
- Reach: 104 in
- Ape: +3
- +: age, shooting, size, athleticism
- -: defensive (not a true negative, but not enough of a positive to be an ideal 3+D guy), offensive creation
- Additional Notes: safe bet to be an NBA contributor, but may fit better as a secondary wing on both sides of the ball
- Jaden Ivey
-
PG
-
Purdue
- Grade: Sophomore
- Age: 20.4
- Height: 76 in
- Weight: 195 lbs
- ++: athleticism, shot creation
- +: dribble penetration
- -: decision making, defensive motor, offensive creation
- Additional Notes: phreak athlete, but best role is likely a volume scoring 6th man, which isn't a great archtype to chase. That said, his 99th percentile upside of a primary offensive engine is one of the highest in the draft
- Keegan Murray
-
PF
-
Iowa
- Grade: Sophomore
- Age: 21.8
- Height: 80 in
- Weight: 215 lbs
- Wingspan: 83 in
- Ape: +3
- ++: offensive production
- +: motor, positioning
- -: athleticism
- --: age
- Additional Notes: high level scorer against non-elite competition. High floor as rotational player who should be able to score against second units at the very least. Also he looks a lot like Brandon Clarke, and maybe plays a little like him
- Tari Eason
-
PF
-
LSU
- Grade: Sophomore
- Age: 21.1
- Height: 80 in
- Weight: 217.4 lbs
- Wingspan: 86 in
- Reach: 107.5 in
- Ape: +6
- ++: enegy, defense
- +: rim attacking
- -: wildness, fouling, shooting, age
- Additional Notes: high energy wing with a defense first mindset, but plays a little out of control and is older than the other wings in this tier
- AJ Griffin
-
SF
-
Duke
- Grade: Freshman
- Age: 18.8
- Height: 78 in
- Weight: 222 lbs
- Wingspan: 83 in
- Ape: +5
- ++: age
- +: size, shooting
- -: injury concerns, defense
- Additional Notes: has the dimensions of a good defender but has yet to play like it; has performed well offensively, but shot doesn't fill the eye test that well
- Shaedon Sharpe
-
SG
-
Kentucky
- Grade: Freshman
- Age: 19.1
- Height: 77.25 in
- Weight: 198 lbs
- Wingspan: 83.5 in
- Reach: 103.5 in
- Ape: +6.25
- ++: athleticism
- +: age, frame, shooting, shot creation
- --: production, unknowns
- Additional Notes: at his best, he may have the highest offensive upside in the class, but the chances of reaching that upside are low enough and with a myriad of warts that he misses out on the 55 FV tier, while his monster upside keeps him above the 50 FV tier. Easily the most difficult player to rank from the outside.
Tier 3 (~50 FV)
- Jalen Duren
-
C
-
Memphis
- Grade: Freshman
- Age: 18.6
- Height: 82 in
- Weight: 230 lbs
- Wingspan: 89 in
- Ape: +7
- ++: age
- +: interior defense, interior offense, athleticism, length
- -: rawness, offensive potential, basketball IQ
- Additional Notes: rim runner/defensive anchor starter kit, but needs development to maximize that role
- Dalen Terry
-
SG
-
Arizona
- Grade: Sophomore
- Age: 19.9
- Height: 79.25 in
- Weight: 195.2 lbs
- Wingspan: 84.75 in
- Reach: 106 in
- Ape: +5.5
- +: age, size, secondary ball handling, defensive versatility
- -: shooting, high level impact
- Additional Notes: profiles as a versatile wing who can guard multiple positions and act as a secondary ball handler, his upside will ultimately be determined by his shooting
- Walker Kessler
-
C
-
Auburn
- Grade: Sophomore
- Age: 20.9
- Height: 85 in
- Weight: 256 lbs
- Wingspan: 88.25 in
- Reach: 113 in
- Ape: +3.25
- ++: rim protection, interior defense
- +: size, basketball IQ
- -: athleticism, offensive role
- Additional Notes: has potential of a true regular season defensive anchor, and his mobility/brain should be enough to at least hold up in playoffs. The lack of an offensive role as he's not a shooting threat, rim runner, or low post threat caps his upside
- Mark Williams
-
C
-
Duke
- Grade: Sophomore
- Age: 20.5
- Height: 86 in
- Weight: 242.4 lbs
- Wingspan: 90.5 in
- Reach: 117 in
- Ape: +4.5
- ++: size
- +: interior finishing, rim protection
- -: offensive upside
- Additional Notes: safe bet to be a rotational big for a number of years, but doesn't have true defensive anchor upside, and probably won't be more than a roll man offensively
- Jake LaRavia
-
PF
-
Wake Forest
- Grade: Junior
- Age: 20.6
- Height: 80 in
- Weight: 227.2 lbs
- Wingspan: 81.5 in
- Reach: 104 in
- Ape: +1.5
- +: age, size, perimeter defensive versatility, passing
- -: wingspan, shot creation, vertical athleticism, 3rd or 4th option offensively
- Additional Notes: versatile defender who should be able to do enough secondary things offensively to be a high end role player as a big wing
- Blake Wesley
-
SG
-
Notre Dame
- Grade: Freshman
- Age: 19.3
- Height: 76.25 in
- Weight: 187.2 lbs
- Wingspan: 81.25 in
- Reach: 103 in
- Ape: +5
- ++: athleticism
- +: perimeter defense, ball handling, scoring
- -: shooting, playmaking, rim finishing
- Additional Notes: for a player who plays in a score-first fashion, his best skills seem to be defensively where he can use his length and athleticism to generate turnovers and play in transition
- Trevor Keels
-
SG
-
Duke
- Grade: Freshman
- Age: 18.8
- Height: 76.75 in
- Weight: 223.8 lbs
- Wingspan: 79.25 in
- Reach: 101 in
- Ape: +2.5
- ++: age
- +: strength, production
- --: athleticism
- Additional Notes: producing net positive results as a young freshman against strong major NCAA competition is a great start, but question marks arise when his limited athleticism is put to the test even more by bigger and faster NBA players. A strong strength program could do wonders
- TyTy Washington
-
SG
-
Kentucky
- Grade: Freshman
- Age: 20.6
- Height: 75.75 in
- Weight: 196.4 lbs
- Wingspan: 80 in
- Reach: 99.5 in
- Ape: +4.25
- +: length
- -: athleticism
- --: age
- Additional Notes: currently profiles more as a 3rd guard, but his PG skills keep upside plays in tact given his length and scoring efficiency

The DV command (Display Value) allows you to generate formatted output. The format string controls the operation of DV much like the format string in a C printf() statement. Many format controls match those used by printf, but there are differences. Refer to the DV (Display Values) for full details.
Examples
DV "Hello, world!\n" DV "Byte at %x is %02bx\n", global_char_var, global_char_var
Additional Note
Integer formats assume that int is 32-bits.


The intent is to create a common design language amongst delivery teams, making it cheaper to build and scale products and services.
There is a Design Patterns Working Group who are responsible for accepting new patterns, provide advice and recommendations to Interaction Designers on their use and maintaining the HO Design Patterns library.
How to use the design patterns
When designing services you should consider this framework:
- all services — whether for the public or internal users — must start by using GOV.UK design elements and patterns
- if you find those don’t meet your users needs, refer to Design Patterns Hackpad and the Home Office Design Patterns to see if your problem has been solved there
- if that doesn’t work raise this in the Interaction Designers slack channel or via the cross government design community — it’s highly likely someone else has solved your particular problem.
- if the pattern isn’t in the HO Design Patterns or GOV.UK Design Patterns — and you think it should be — then you should raise it as new pattern in the HO Design Patterns Trello Board (ask in the Interaction Design slack channel to be added)
- if you need to design something from scratch — that’s ok. Work with the HO Design Patterns Working Group to get it it accepted into the HO Design Patterns so that everyone can benefit
- this resource will be used by our Service Assessment Team to ensure consistency

Initial Setup
After the application is properly installed and running, create a user account. The first account to register will be given "root" access in the application, all other registrations will be "user" tier. From there, all there is left to do is to setup categories, and to create an event. Click the admin button on the top right, and click "Category Settings." Create whatever product categories that will be used in your group buy. From there, go to home and create an event. Thats it!
General Use
In order to use Group Buy Organizer you must register an account. Once thats done, go ahead and log in.
This is the general flow of the program: Using your price sheet/case list from the wholesaler you'll be purchasing from, if the items already haven't been added by someone else, add them to the event using the form at the top of the page. Once items are added, anyone is free to interact with them, whether you want to buy cases for yourself, or split a case with some other people. While the event is open, any user is free to add as many items, and to buy as many cases or involve themselves in as many case splits as they want.
As the event comes to a close, an administrator will lock it (Event Settings). This will lock in all transactions, and no user can add, remove, or change their order. Things become finalized at this point, and you can check out the totals using any of the available event total buttons on the event screen or on the home screen.

Overview
Ring-tailed lemurs
The order Primates includes humans, apes, monkeys, and prosimians. Many of them may be familiar, but it would not be surprising if you cannot immediately visualize prosimians (like the ring-tailed lemurs in the picture on the right).How many living primate species exist today is not clear. The number varies depending on whether closely related groups are considered to be varieties of each other or distinct species. Some taxonomic splitters classify up to 350 species, while lumpers include as few as 190. Most estimates are in the range of 230-270. This ambiguity may be partly resolved in the future with DNA sequencing data. Compounding the problem is the fact that every few years new species of primates are found. The tropical forests of South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia may still be hiding ones that are unknown to the scientific world. However, it is likely that all major groupings of primates have been discovered.
Many primate species are now in danger of becoming extinct. The primary cause is deforestation, driven ultimately by human population growth. Additional pressure is placed on primate populations by humans hunting them to sell for food and pets. Monkeys and apes are popular sources of "bush meat" in West Africa. At least 22 species of primates and many other kinds of wild animals are being hunted in Africa for this purpose. Despite the fact that the sale of "bush meat" is outlawed in most countries, it is now being sold illegally in Europe and North America. In recent years, it could be bought at stores that cater to African immigrants in Paris, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Montreal, and some other major cities.
Today, non-human primates are limited in their natural habitats primarily to the tropical and subtropical regions of the New and Old Worlds. They have never lived in Australia and most of the islands in the Pacific ocean. However, the earliest primates also lived in North America and Europe beginning around 55-50 million years ago.
Natural range of non-human primates
General Characteristics of Primates
Lowland gorilla Primates are surprisingly variable in size. They range all the way from the pygmy mouse lemur that weighs less than 2 ounces (55 g.) and can fit in the palm of your hand to the gorilla that grows to as much as 440 pounds (200 kg.) in the wild and even heavier in captivity. Still larger primates existed in the past but are now extinct.
Primates are generally lively, clever, and very successful at adapting to different environmental opportunities. Physically, however, they are relatively unspecialized compared to animals such as birds, horses, and cats. Primates are not particularly fast runners, they do not have the sharpest hearing, they cannot fly, nor are they efficient hunters.
Spider monkey Count the number of fingers...
(This is the only primate that
has hands with 4 fingers and
feet with 5 toes)With the exception of spider monkeys, all of the primates have retained the ancient mammalian trait of pentadactylism , which is having five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot. An increasing refinement of the hands and feet for grasping objects has been a hallmark of primate evolution. Their fingers and toes are mobile and have very sensitive tactile pads at the tips, unlike most other mammals. At least some digits on all primates also have flat nails in place of rigid claws. This makes the manipulation of bits of food and other objects much easier.
The grasping, or prehensile , ability of primate hands varies significantly also with the degree of opposability of the thumb. Partially rotating the thumb and pressing it forcefully towards the fingers provides a secure grip for hanging on branches and for manipulating small objects. All primates, with the exception of humans, have prehensile feet in addition to hands. However, few have the high degree of thumb opposability and strength typical of humans.
The small New World monkeys called marmosets and tamarins usually hang onto a tree branch by pressing against it with their palms and using all of their bent fingers together as counter pressure in a hook-like power grip. The more dexterous monkeys and apes can also use a secure power grip formed by the partial flexion of the fingers and the palm with counter force applied by the thumb. Humans and some apes also can employ precision grips formed by pinching with the tips of their flexed forefingers and the thumb. This allows their hands to be used effectively for manipulating small objects, such as the fork in the hand of the chimpanzee shown below.

Upright posture
(lowland gorilla)All primates have a marked tendency towards erectness in their upper bodies. This can be seen in their sitting and standing postures as well as occasional bipedalism . They also have shoulder joints that are unusually flexible for mammals. This is due to secure ball joints and strong clavicles , or collarbones, which have allowed them to use their arms very effectively in climbing trees. Clavicles are another ancient mammalian trait that primates have retained.
In primate evolution, there was a progressive reduction in nose size and in the olfactory areas of the brain. Lemurs are an exception. They are very much like the early primates 50 million years ago. Note the marked difference between lemur, monkey, and human noses in the photos below. Most monkeys and apes have evolved relatively small noses like us, while lemurs have retained long snouts similar to foxes and raccoons. It is not surprising that lemurs have a comparatively good sense of smell.
Comparison of ring-tailed lemur, patas monkey, and human noses Most mammals have about the same number of genes that code for odor receptors in their nasal tracks. However, the majority of these genes in humans, and presumably other large primates, are no longer functional. Recent research has shown that of the approximately 1,000 human olfactory receptor genes, only 347 remain functional. The rest have mutations that deactivate them. Does this really mean that people have a poor sense of smell? The answer is both yes and no. We are poor at sensing short-chain chemical compounds but good at discriminating between complex long-chain ones such as those of many foods and flowers. Dogs are just the opposite in this. However, the smelling ability of dogs is far superior to people in one way. Fewer molecules of a substance are usually needed for dogs to detect it.
As the primate nose progressively shrank in size over millions of years, there was a corresponding increase in visual capabilities. As much as 50% of the cerebral cortex in some species of monkeys is involved in visual processing. Many primates have color vision comparable to our own. All have binocular vision with fields of view that significantly overlap, resulting in true three dimensional (3-D) depth perception or stereoscopic vision. At the same time, the field of view for peripheral vision was reduced.
(view from above)Human eyes have an overlapping field of view
of about 120. It is only in this field that we
have stereoscopic vision. Beyond this 3-D
area out to 160-180, we see things only in
two dimensions (2-D)--i.e., flat without depth.
Monkeys and apes have about the same
depth perception ability as humans, but the
eyes of lemurs are farther apart resulting in a
smaller overlapping field of view.Depth perception is an invaluable tool for animals that need to move quickly. It allows them to judge the distances to important objects in their environment. For monkeys jumping from branch to branch high up in the canopies of forests, this is a matter of life and death. Likewise, accurate depth perception is a critical capability for hunters, such as cats and hawks, who need to accurately judge distances in the pursuit of their prey. In contrast, it is often preferable to have greater peripheral vision if you are the prey. Gazelles, rabbits, and chickens have nearly a 360 field of view, but relatively little of that is stereoscopic vision.
Compared to most other animals, primate brains are large relative to their body size. Those areas of the brain that are involved with controlling manual dexterity, eye-hand coordination, and stereoscopic vision have particularly expanded. These traits were probably selected by nature mostly due to their usefulness in traveling in trees, manipulating objects, and getting food.

Primate Life Spans in the Wild

live longer than the life spans listed
here because of the medical care
that they receive.The more capable uterus and placenta of primates support long gestation periods, or pregnancies, for animals of their size. For example, the mouse lemur has a gestation period of 60 days, but it is only 20 days for a comparable size rodent mouse. Macaques, which are one of the most common groups of monkey species in the Old World, have 13.5-15.5 week gestations. Among comparable size domesticated dogs, it is only about 9 weeks. The result of long gestations is that offspring are born more mature and, therefore, have a greater chance of survival. Primate mothers also are generally very protective and nurturing with their young. Subsequently, primates do not need to have many offspring to maintain their population numbers. Multiple births at any one time are rare for them. The time gap between generations is surprisingly long for the larger primates. Among humans today, parents are on average 29 years older than their children. By comparison, chimpanzee mothers are on average 25 years older than their offspring. Among female gorillas, it is 19.3 years.
There frequently is a correlation between body size and longevity in the animal kingdom. Species with larger bodies generally live longer. However, primates have unusually long natural life spans for their size. For instance, mouse lemurs live about 8 years. Rodent mice rarely reach 2 years. Rats, which are slightly larger than mouse lemurs, can live 3 years. Big monkeys, such as baboons, live up to 30 years. Male baboons can weigh as much as 90 pounds. Comparable size domesticated dogs have a life expectancy of only 10-12 years. With good medical care, chimpanzees can live nearly as long as people (50-75+ years). This is not surprising given that they are anatomically very similar to us. Research done by Herman Pontzer of Hunter College suggests that the unusual longevity of primates is due to the fact that they expend only 50% as many calories a day compared to other animals their size. Slower metabolism rates are associated with slower rates of growth, reproduction, and aging in mammals.
Most primates have adapted to an arboreal, or tree living, way of life. Even the terrestrial ones usually sleep in the trees. The most notable exceptions are humans and gorillas. Both of these species live on the ground with occasional tree climbing for fun, especially by children. Almost all primates are diurnal, which is to say, they are active during the day and sleep at night.
Generally, primates are highly social animals. Most of their waking hours are spent socializing with each other. This is made easier by complex vocalizations and visual displays. In addition, they regularly groom each other, thereby keeping clean and satisfying psychological needs at the same time. Grooming is a very pleasurable activity for primates, including humans. It is important to note that the few nocturnal primate species are the least social.
Chimpanzees grooming Humans grooming Primates have been very successful animals due largely to the fact that they are intelligent and opportunistic in getting food. Most are unusually adaptable in diet. This has tremendous evolutionarily selective value. Many species are omnivorous , though vegetable foods usually make up the bulk of calories consumed by most primate species because they are easier to obtain. By comparison, animals such as koalas and giant pandas are generally less successful because they are extremely limited in the kinds of foods that they can or will eat. Koalas subsist on the leaves of a few species of eucalyptus, and giant pandas primarily eat the shoots of a small number of bamboo species. If these food sources are not available, koalas and giant pandas die. Not surprisingly, their highly limited range of foods restricts where they can live. This is not the case with many primate species.
Are Primates Good Pets?Often people who have not had the responsibility of taking care of a monkey or ape in captivity think that they would be great pets. After all, they are cute when they are youngsters and remarkably human-like. However, they generally make very poor pets. As one monkey owner said "People find out when it's too late. After six months, they're like a two year-old that can fly." Because they are intelligent, very active, sometimes unpredictable, and easily bored, they frequently get into trouble when left alone. In addition to being destructive, most are as messy as human babies. Unlike humans, however, they remain this way all of their unusually long lives. Owning large apes in particular is a lifelong commitment that takes considerable patience, energy, and money. Male chimpanzees can be surprisingly violent in their interactions with each other and humans. In recent years, several people have been extensively maimed and even killed by their pet chimpanzees in the U.S.
