Gothic literature combines elements of horror and romance, generally with tones and themes of darkness.
Books
The Castle of Otranto is considered the first "gothic" novel, a genre that loves melodrama, mystery, hidden places, ancestral curses, and fainting heroines. Its roots are the "romance," which was a tale of heroism (not love as it is now known), and the Romantic movement in literature, which focused on emotion and the sublimity of nature. When The Castle of Otranto was first published, it was said to be a translation of a lost medieval transcript, and received positive attention. But when it was next published, the truth was revealed--that the story was quite modern and written by a priviledged author. Critics then panned it, but it survives today as the seminal Gothic literary novel.
The Castles of Athlin and Dunbayne is a Gothic story about the feud between the medieval Scottish Highland clans of Athlin and Dunbayne. It was Ann Radcliffe’s first novel.
The House of the Seven Gables, published in 1851, explores issues of class and the pursuit of wealth against the backdrop of decaying residences.
The Marble Faun is a gothic romance concerning three young Americans and one young Italian Count who meet in Rome. The book features picturesque descriptions of historic art and architecture in Rome as a backdrop to a tale of mystery, murder, and romance.
The central character, John Melmoth, is a scholar who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for 150 extra years of life and spends that time searching for someone who will take over the pact for him; the novel actually takes place in the present, but this backstory is revealed through several nested stories-within-a-story that work backwards through time (usually through the Gothic trope of old books).
The Picture of Dorian Gray is a suspense novel by Oscar Wilde, narrating the tale of Dorian Gray, and his mysterious life.
Passages
The narrator tells of how he came to live in the house. Servants believe in the haunting, and this leads to troubles, so the narrator and his sister decide to change their plans.
The narrator tells of his growing fascination with Master B, as well as the series of events following the appearance of the ghost.


Сhroma key
Сhroma key - technology combining two or more images or frames in one composition, used in modern digital film production technology. With the help of chroma key, you can “remove” the background, and “attach” an image or video through a video editor. Also in everyday life, the screen itself is called chroma key, against which it is removed.


This post was written primarily to poke fun of my friends who refused to play War with me.
August 6, 2018
While on a rock climbing vacation in South Africa, my friends and I were graced with lots of down time during rainstorms and in the evenings. We frequently passed this time playing board games or cards. Unfortunately, none of my friends wanted to play the classic, mentally stimulating, and exceptionally fun card game of War with me so I spent many days wallowing in sadness over not having a willing war partner, until I finally decided to replace my human friends with my computer.
Given the basic rules of the game and lack of user input for any strategical decisions, I figured the game would be quite easy to simulate, so I set out on making my simulator while the rest of my friends did something far less fun, cooking dinner. After an hour, I had successfully created my simulator, while all they had to show for themselves was fried rice (which was, supposedly, "really good").
I am quite happy with how this turned out after only an hour of work. Now I can have endless fun simulating war games over and over and over and over whenever I can't find a dueling partner.


Fully Reusable Rockets
RocketX believes a fully and rapidly reusable rocket is the pivotal breakthrough needed to substantially reduce the cost of space access.
Raptor Engines
The RocketX Raptor is a full-flow, staged-combustion, methane-fueled rocket engine manufactured by RocketX. The engine is powered by cryogenic liquid methane and liquid oxygen (LOX), rather than the RP-1 kerosene and LOX used in RocketX's prior Merlin and Kestrel rocket engines.
Starship
The RocketX Starship is planned to be a long-duration cargo- and passenger-carrying spacecraft launched as the second stage of a reusable launch vehicle.


The main benefits for you come in two forms: Lego VIP points and shopping portal rewards. I will explain each of these briefly here and include more details in the FAQ.
VIP points are pretty easy to understand. When you buy Legos at the Lego Store, you earn rewards points. You get a $5 reward for every 100 VIP points. There are occasional events where you earn double points. We will leverage that as much as possible.
With your VIP points, you can buy Christmas gifts. If you somehow do not have a Lego-loving friend in your life, you can sell the points to me. I will simply buy your free items at face value.
With nearly any online purchase, you have the opportunity to earn cash back, airline miles, or bank points by "clicking through" a website known as a portal. Unfortunately, the portals are not very generous on Lego purchases. Cash back is usually 2-5% and most airline portals offer 1-3 points per dollar. I always check Cashback Monitor for the latest portal offers. Please note that portals can be annoying. Sometimes the orders do not properly track. Cashing out can also be a pain. I will do whatever I can to help guide you.
You will also get the benefit of increased spending on your credit card. This can be very valuable if you are trying to meet a minimum spending requirement for a welcome bonus. Another benefit is that you may pick up some of my "ninja tricks" for saving money while shopping online. Maybe you will want to become a reseller yourself! However, you will have to find a different product.
There aren't too many risks. I will reimburse you quickly for the products you order, so that you are willing to order more! If the Lego Store makes a mistake on your order or it becomes damaged during shipping, you will have to deal with the return. As mentioned above, There is some risk with the shopping portal rewards.

Ready for the spotlight
The African American Theater Arts Troupe does more than put on heart-stirring performances at UCSC.
It raises cultural awareness throughout the region, and has awarded more than $85,000 in scholarships to students involved with the troupe.
Now celebrating its 20th year, the troupe—the only one of its kind in the UC system—improves retention rates among African-American students while attracting prospective students with statewide outreach. So far, 1,000 students have taken part in A.A.T.A.T. productions. But all of this hard work cannot take place without strong public support.
Now the troupe is hoping to build its current $14,000 endowment to $100,000 within the next 10 years to help sustain its rich life far into the future.
The troupe receives funds from Measure 49, which supports the organization with student fees. It also relies on community partnerships and private funding to support productions that cost up to $8,000 to put on.
The troupe is known for its skillful actors—all the more remarkable considering they are mostly non-theater arts majors performing plays that illustrate the African American experience, including works by the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson. In fact, the troupe includes significant numbers of biochemistry majors.
Ticket sales, donations, and community partnerships support the troupe.
"Whether it is $1 or $50, it makes a big difference," said troupe director and founder Don Williams. "I've even heard students say, 'If not for this troupe, I would not be here.' They say, 'The troupe caused me to stay. It helped me find myself and where to fit in.'"
One strong supporter is Michael McCawley, UCSC's director of admissions. "The troupe is a real treasure. I think the work Don Williams has done is miraculous."
Another supporter, Campus Provost Alison Galloway, said the A.A.T.A.T. is, if anything, more important than ever at a time when a poor economy makes it increasingly difficult for students from underrepresented groups who are interested in attending UC.
"The troupe's outreach is vitally important—by helping prospective students see themselves on stage, the A.A.T.A.T. also helps them see themselves as UCSC students," she said. "I was very proud to promise to personally match a portion of funds that A.A.T.A.T. raised during a recent request for donations."

Instance Attribute Details
#on_demand_allocation_strategy ⇒ String
(rw)
The allocation strategy to apply to your On-Demand Instances when they are launched. Possible instance types are determined by the launch template overrides that you specify.
The following lists the valid values:
lowest-price
: Uses price to determine which instance types are the highest priority, launching the lowest priced instance types within an Availability Zone first. This is the default value for Auto Scaling groups that specify InstanceRequirements.
prioritized
: You set the order of instance types for the launch template overrides from highest to lowest priority (from first to last in the list). Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches your highest priority instance types first. If all your On-Demand capacity cannot be fulfilled using your highest priority instance type, then Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling launches the remaining capacity using the second priority instance type, and so on. This is the default value for Auto Scaling groups that don't specify InstanceRequirements and cannot be used for groups that do.
# File 'gems/aws-sdk-autoscaling/lib/aws-sdk-autoscaling/types.rb', line 3951
class InstancesDistribution < Struct.new( :on_demand_allocation_strategy, :on_demand_base_capacity, :on_demand_percentage_above_base_capacity, :spot_allocation_strategy, :spot_instance_pools, :spot_max_price) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end
#on_demand_base_capacity ⇒ Integer
(rw)
The minimum amount of the Auto Scaling group's capacity that must be fulfilled by On-Demand Instances. This base portion is launched first as your group scales.
This number has the same unit of measurement as the group's desired capacity. If you change the default unit of measurement (number of instances) by specifying weighted capacity values in your launch template overrides list, or by changing the default desired capacity type setting of the group, you must specify this number using the same unit of measurement.
Default: 0
# File 'gems/aws-sdk-autoscaling/lib/aws-sdk-autoscaling/types.rb', line 3951
class InstancesDistribution < Struct.new( :on_demand_allocation_strategy, :on_demand_base_capacity, :on_demand_percentage_above_base_capacity, :spot_allocation_strategy, :spot_instance_pools, :spot_max_price) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end
#on_demand_percentage_above_base_capacity ⇒ Integer
(rw)
Controls the percentages of On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances
for your additional capacity beyond OnDemandBaseCapacity
.
Expressed as a number (for example, 20 specifies 20% On-Demand
Instances, 80% Spot Instances). If set to 100, only On-Demand
Instances are used.
Default: 100
# File 'gems/aws-sdk-autoscaling/lib/aws-sdk-autoscaling/types.rb', line 3951
class InstancesDistribution < Struct.new( :on_demand_allocation_strategy, :on_demand_base_capacity, :on_demand_percentage_above_base_capacity, :spot_allocation_strategy, :spot_instance_pools, :spot_max_price) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end
#spot_allocation_strategy ⇒ String
(rw)
The allocation strategy to apply to your Spot Instances when they are launched. Possible instance types are determined by the launch template overrides that you specify.
The following lists the valid values:
capacity-optimized
: Requests Spot Instances using pools that are optimally chosen
based on the available Spot capacity. This strategy has the lowest
risk of interruption. To give certain instance types a higher
chance of launching first, use capacity-optimized-prioritized
.
capacity-optimized-prioritized
: You set the order of instance types for the launch template
overrides from highest to lowest priority (from first to last in
the list). Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling honors the instance type
priorities on a best effort basis but optimizes for capacity
first. Note that if the On-Demand allocation strategy is set to
prioritized
, the same priority is applied when fulfilling
On-Demand capacity. This is not a valid value for Auto Scaling
groups that specify InstanceRequirements.
lowest-price
: Requests Spot Instances using the lowest priced pools within an
Availability Zone, across the number of Spot pools that you
specify for the SpotInstancePools
property. To ensure that your
desired capacity is met, you might receive Spot Instances from
several pools. This is the default value, but it might lead to
high interruption rates because this strategy only considers
instance price and not available capacity.
price-capacity-optimized (recommended)
: The price and capacity optimized allocation strategy looks at both price and capacity to select the Spot Instance pools that are the least likely to be interrupted and have the lowest possible price.
# File 'gems/aws-sdk-autoscaling/lib/aws-sdk-autoscaling/types.rb', line 3951
class InstancesDistribution < Struct.new( :on_demand_allocation_strategy, :on_demand_base_capacity, :on_demand_percentage_above_base_capacity, :spot_allocation_strategy, :spot_instance_pools, :spot_max_price) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end
#spot_instance_pools ⇒ Integer
(rw)
The number of Spot Instance pools across which to allocate your Spot
Instances. The Spot pools are determined from the different instance
types in the overrides. Valid only when the SpotAllocationStrategy
is lowest-price
. Value must be in the range of 1–20.
Default: 2
# File 'gems/aws-sdk-autoscaling/lib/aws-sdk-autoscaling/types.rb', line 3951
class InstancesDistribution < Struct.new( :on_demand_allocation_strategy, :on_demand_base_capacity, :on_demand_percentage_above_base_capacity, :spot_allocation_strategy, :spot_instance_pools, :spot_max_price) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end
#spot_max_price ⇒ String
(rw)
The maximum price per unit hour that you are willing to pay for a Spot Instance. If your maximum price is lower than the Spot price for the instance types that you selected, your Spot Instances are not launched. We do not recommend specifying a maximum price because it can lead to increased interruptions. When Spot Instances launch, you pay the current Spot price. To remove a maximum price that you previously set, include the property but specify an empty string ("") for the value.
If you specify a maximum price, your instances will be interrupted more frequently than if you do not specify one.
Valid Range: Minimum value of 0.001
# File 'gems/aws-sdk-autoscaling/lib/aws-sdk-autoscaling/types.rb', line 3951
class InstancesDistribution < Struct.new( :on_demand_allocation_strategy, :on_demand_base_capacity, :on_demand_percentage_above_base_capacity, :spot_allocation_strategy, :spot_instance_pools, :spot_max_price) SENSITIVE = [] include Aws::Structure end

iSCSI administration on Ubuntu - Quick Start
This post get's you started with iSCSI administration on an Ubuntu machine. Although I have used Ubuntu Trusty (14.04) version, it should work with Precise (12.04) too, with the latest packages.
Prerequisites
Make sure you have atleast a little idea of what these terms mean: iSCSI, LUN, IQN, initiator, target and portal. Google and wikipedia are your friends.
A quick summary:
There are two parts of iSCSI communication - initiator and target. So let's take an example. There is a storage server in your company, where you have a ‘drive’ for your team. The storage server is the ‘target’, and your laptop, where you'll mount the drive to access it's contents is the ‘initiator’. In other words, target is like a ‘server’ which stores data, and allows initiators (think ‘clients’) to connect to it.
In this short hands-on introduction, we'll use the same Ubuntu machine as target as well as initiator. We can use a file as the storage behind the target, but this post also shows how to use LVM logical volume as the backing store for the iSCSI target.
Actually, we'll back the logical volume (LV) with a file, as shown in this, so essentially we're just using ‘file as a backing store for targets’ but in a roundabout way :)
OK, let's get started. Make sure you execute all the following commands as root user.
First install the required dependencies
apt-get install lvm2 tgt open-iscsi
Initialize logical volume
Create a file of 1GB, create a volume group over it, and then over it, create a 400MB logical volume, and see if it got created or not
root@ra:~# truncate --size 1G backingfile
root@ra:~# sudo losetup --find --show backingfile
/dev/loop0
root@ra:~# sudo vgcreate myvg /dev/loop0
No physical volume label read from /dev/loop0
Physical volume "/dev/loop0" successfully created
Volume group "myvg" successfully created
root@ra:~# sudo lvcreate --size 400M --name mylv myvg
Logical volume "mylv" created
root@ra:~# lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Move Log Copy% Convert
mylv myvg -wi-a---- 400.00m
Target administration
Now let's create a target, with target ID 1, and give it an IQN (iSCSI
Qualified Name) iqn.2001-04.example.com:your.first.iscsi.target
:
tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode target --tid 1 -T iqn.2001-04.example.com:your.first.iscsi.target
List the target, see it's properties:
root@ra:~# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op show --mode target
Target 1: iqn.2001-04.example.com:your.first.iscsi.target
System information:
Driver: iscsi
State: ready
I_T nexus information:
LUN information:
LUN: 0
Type: controller
SCSI ID: IET 00010000
SCSI SN: beaf10
Size: 0 MB, Block size: 1
Online: Yes
Removable media: No
Prevent removal: No
Readonly: No
SWP: No
Thin-provisioning: No
Backing store type: null
Backing store path: None
Backing store flags:
Account information:
ACL information:
You can see there is a LUN, LUN 0 attached to the target. Let's attach our
logical volume mylv
as LUN 1 to the target.
tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 1 --lun 1 -b /dev/myvg/mylv
Here, actually you could've attached a flat file as a LUN to the target. So you
could've skipped all the intermediate steps and attached the backingfile
directly to the target like this:
tgtadm --lld iscsi --op new --mode logicalunit --tid 1 --lun 1 -b backingfile
A backing file would've been good enough for this demo, but you know the benefits of logical volume isn't it? :)
Okay, let's see if the LUN got created:
root@ra:~# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op show --mode target
Target 1: iqn.2001-04.example.com:your.first.iscsi.target
System information:
Driver: iscsi
State: ready
I_T nexus information:
LUN information:
LUN: 0
Type: controller
SCSI ID: IET 00010000
SCSI SN: beaf10
Size: 0 MB, Block size: 1
Online: Yes
Removable media: No
Prevent removal: No
Readonly: No
SWP: No
Thin-provisioning: No
Backing store type: null
Backing store path: None
Backing store flags:
LUN: 1
Type: disk
SCSI ID: IET 00010001
SCSI SN: beaf11
Size: 419 MB, Block size: 512
Online: Yes
Removable media: No
Prevent removal: No
Readonly: No
SWP: No
Thin-provisioning: No
Backing store type: rdwr
Backing store path: /dev/myvg/mylv
Backing store flags:
Account information:
ACL information:
Now let's allow all initiators to bind to this target:
tgtadm --lld iscsi --op bind --mode target --tid 1 -I ALL
We're done with the ‘target’ side now. You can check, using netstat
that port
3260, the default port, is now open. Note that all our commands so far started with
tgtadm
, i.e., the target administration utility.
Initiator administration
Now let's start from the ‘initiator’ end. We'll behave as if we're a client trying to connect to the server – the target.
Discover all the targets on our local machine (<IP_ADDRESS>
).
root@ra:~# sudo iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal <IP_ADDRESS>
<IP_ADDRESS>:3260,1 iqn.2001-04.example.com:your.first.iscsi.target
From the client perspective, we're now able to see a target. Let's login into that target
root@ra:~# sudo iscsiadm --mode node --targetname iqn.2001-04.example.com:your.first.iscsi.target --portal <IP_ADDRESS>:3260 --login
Logging in to [iface: default, target: iqn.2001-04.example.com:your.first.iscsi.target, portal: <IP_ADDRESS>,3260] (multiple)
Login to [iface: default, target: iqn.2001-04.example.com:your.first.iscsi.target, portal: <IP_ADDRESS>,3260] successful.
After logging in, the target will be visible in the client's system as a new
device. Running a fdisk -l
shows that there is a new device /dev/sda
is now
present.
root@ra:~# fdisk -l

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message.
1. Introduction
1.1. About the Introduction to the Migration Toolkit for Applications
This guide is for engineers, consultants, and others who want to use the Migration Toolkit for Applications ({ProductShortName}) to migrate Java applications or other components. It provides an overview of the Migration Toolkit for Applications and how to get started using the tools to plan and execute your migration.
2. About the Migration Toolkit for Applications
What is the Migration Toolkit for Applications?
The Migration Toolkit for Applications ({ProductShortName}) is an extensible and customizable rule-based tool that simplifies the migration and modernization of Java applications.
{ProductShortName} examines application artifacts, including project source directories and application archives, and then produces an HTML report highlighting areas needing changes. {ProductShortName} supports many migration paths including the following examples:
-
Upgrading to the latest release of Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
-
Migrating from Oracle WebLogic or IBM WebSphere Application Server to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform
-
Containerizing applications and making them cloud-ready
-
Migrating from Java Spring Boot to Quarkus
-
Updating from Oracle JDK to OpenJDK
For more information about use cases and migration paths, see the {ProductShortName} for developers web page.
How does the Migration Toolkit for Applications simplify migration?
The Migration Toolkit for Applications looks for common resources and known trouble spots when migrating applications. It provides a high-level view of the technologies used by the application.
{ProductShortName} generates a detailed report evaluating a migration or modernization path. This report can help you to estimate the effort required for large-scale projects and to reduce the work involved.
2.1. {ProductShortName} Features
The Migration Toolkit for Applications ({ProductShortName}) provides a number of capabilities to assist with planning and executing migration projects.
- Planning and work estimation
-
{ProductShortName} assists project managers by detailing the type of work and estimation of effort to complete the tasks. Level of effort is represented in {ProductShortName} reports as story points. Actual estimates will be based on the skills required and the classification of migration work needed.
- Identifying migration issues and providing solutions
-
{ProductShortName} identifies migration issues and highlights specific points in the code where an issue occurs. {ProductShortName} suggests code changes and provides additional resources to help engineers resolve the specific issue.
- Detailed reporting
-
{ProductShortName} produces numerous reports to give both high-level views of the migration effort and details of specific migration tasks. You can view migration issues across all applications, charts and summary information about issues in an application, a breakdown of issues by module in the application, reports of technologies used, and dependencies on other applications and services. You can also examine source files to see the line of code where an issue occurs. See the CLI Guide for more information on the available {ProductShortName} reports.
- Built-in rules and migration paths
-
{ProductShortName} comes with a core set of rules to provide migration assistance for several common migration paths. These rules identify the use of proprietary functionality from other application servers or deprecated subsystems from previous versions of JBoss EAP. {ProductShortName} also contains rules to identify common migration issues, such as hard-coded IP addresses and JNDI lookups.
- Rule extensibility and customization
-
{ProductShortName} provides the ability to create powerful and complex rules. You can expand upon the core set of rules provided by {ProductShortName} and create rules to identify additional issues that are important for your migration project. You can also override core rules and create custom rule categories. See the Rules Development Guide for more information on customizing {ProductShortName} rules.
- Ability to analyze source code or application archives
-
{ProductShortName} can evaluate application archives or source code, and can evaluate multiple applications together. It can identify archives that are shared across multiple applications, which can help with more accurate effort estimation.
2.2. About {ProductShortName} rules
The Migration Toolkit for Applications ({ProductShortName}) contains rule-based migration tools that analyze the APIs, technologies, and architectures used by the applications you plan to migrate. In fact, the {ProductShortName} analysis process is implemented using {ProductShortName} rules. {ProductShortName} uses rules internally to extract files from archives, decompile files, scan and classify file types, analyze XML and other file content, analyze the application code, and build the reports.
{ProductShortName} builds a data model based on the rule execution results and stores component data and relationships in a graph database, which can then be queried and updated as needed by the migration rules and for reporting purposes.
{ProductShortName} rules use the following rule pattern:
when(condition) perform(action) otherwise(action)
{ProductShortName} provides a comprehensive set of standard migration rules out-of-the-box. Because applications may contain custom libraries or components, {ProductShortName} allows you to write your own rules to identify use of components or software that may not be covered by the existing ruleset.
If you plan to write your own custom rules, see the Rules Development Guide for detailed instructions.
3. Supported configurations
3.1. Supported migration paths
The Migration Toolkit for Applications ({ProductShortName}) supports migrations from third-party enterprise application servers, such as Oracle WebLogic Server, to JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP) and upgrades to the latest release of JBoss EAP.
{ProductShortName} provides a comprehensive set of rules to assess the suitability of your applications for containerization and deployment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (RHOCP). You can run an {ProductShortName} analysis to assess your applications' suitability for migration to multiple target platforms.
The following table describes the most common supported migration paths.

5. Planning your application migration
5.1. Goals of assessing a migration
Many organizations are faced with the challenges of keeping their existing business operations running, while also trying to innovate. There are typically increased expectations to deliver new functionality faster and to reduce cost.
When assessing a migration or modernization effort, it is important to address the challenges that are specific to your organization. Common challenges that organizations face are limited budgets, lack of in-house skills, perceived risks, no known predictable process, and accurate effort estimation in a timely manner.
In general, the goals when assessing a large-scale middleware migration or modernization effort are the following:
-
Predicting the level of effort and cost
-
Scheduling application migrations and handling conflicts
-
Identifying all potential risks at a code, infrastructure, process, or knowledge level
-
Predicting the return on investment to make the business case
-
Identifying and mitigating risks to the business
-
Minimizing disruption to existing business operations
Red Hat has developed a strategy to minimize risk and make application migration and modernizations more efficient.
5.2. Red Hat’s application migration approach
Red Hat has defined a strategy to make large-scale application migrations to Red Hat JBoss Middleware quantifiable, less costly, less risky, and easier to complete.
Migrating from proprietary or outdated middleware platforms to Red Hat JBoss Middleware gives you lightweight, modular, and cloud-ready middleware with a supporting application infrastructure to make teams more productive. JBoss Middleware and other Red Hat technologies also provide great opportunities to modernize your application development and delivery, allowing you to innovate more quickly.
5.2.1. Best practices
Red Hat recommends the following practices when planning and executing a migration or modernization:
-
Create a centralized collaboration platform for information sharing.
Comprehensive and accessible documentation is important so that knowledge can be easily shared and to ensure that effort is not duplicated by solving the same issue twice. It is recommended to document the following items:
-
A step-by-step guide for migrating or modernizing an application from scratch.
-
A collection of solutions to known and encountered issues.
-
Information about the new platform.
-
A record of the changes made to specific pilot projects.
-
-
Reuse, automate, and standardize as much as possible.
Consider reusing existing components instead of creating new ones. Automate processes related to the application lifecycle, such as builds, configuration, deployment, and tests. Standardize and document software packaging format, configuration management, libraries, and dependencies.
-
Use a proven and repeatable methodology.
The recommendation is to follow a practical approach and make as few changes as possible to get a functionally identical application.
-
Involve Red Hat technical expertise early for the chosen Red Hat Middleware components.
This is crucial to make your migrations and modernizations low risk, predictable, and efficient. Contact Red Hat Consulting for assistance.
5.2.2. Methodology
Red Hat’s recommended methodology is a proven, scalable approach that helps you to incrementally plan and conduct a migration or modernization.
The approach consists of the following phases:
- Discover
-
Explore the technologies and identify concerns, organization requirements and challenges. Discuss options and potential approaches.
- Design
-
Identify and mitigate the biggest risks from an application, infrastructure, process, and knowledge perspective. Establish a strategy for the solution. Prove the technology and build the business case.
- Deploy
-
Scale the modernization or migration iteratively by executing the previously defined strategy according to a well-defined delivery model.
Discover phase
The Discover phase is when you gather all stakeholders and decision-makers together to understand the current state and business drivers, and to determine the migration or modernization needs.
In this phase, you explore technologies and discuss potential approaches. Identify the existing pain points, concerns, requirements, and some potential challenges. Define the high-level business priorities and scope the assessment. Determine in what ways you want to modernize your application development and delivery to allow you to innovate more rapidly.
Typically, this can be covered in a day in a workshop with Red Hat experts.
Design phase
The Design phase is when you identify all risks, define a strategy and target architecture, prove the technology, and build the business case. This phase consists of the following steps:
- Assess
-
Examine the existing infrastructure, architecture, technologies, and applications. Identify dependencies, knowledge, processes, and lifecycles. Define the desired infrastructure, architecture, technologies, and applications. Determine the feasibility and potential risks. Draft a plan and provide rough estimates.
Analyzing applications using the Migration Toolkit for Applications web console or CLI helps to determine dependencies, potential risks, and relative effort. See the Web Console Guide or CLI Guide for information on how to use these tools.
- Prove
-
Solve and document the identified technical risks, for example, high risk items and issues with unknown effort. Build and shape the new platform infrastructure. Refine the estimates based on the outcomes.
- Pilot
-
Choose a small set of representative applications to transform. Finalize the target platform infrastructure as necessary. Update the documentation as the process is fine-tuned. This pilot consists of one or several iterations of the migration execution, which is scaled during the Deploy phase.
Use the Migration Toolkit for Applications {ProductShortName} plugin to accelerate the code migration. See the Eclipse and Red Hat CodeReady Studio Plugin Guide for information on how to use the {ProductShortName} plugin.
- Plan
-
Based on the outcomes of the previous steps, sharpen the estimates and refine the project plan. Define the rollout strategy to be used in the Deploy phase to complete the migration. Prepare and schedule the relevant technical enablement courses.
Deploy phase
The Deploy phase is when you execute the plan created in the Design phase. In this phase, you scale the overall transformation process to complete the plan and bring all applications to their new production environment.
The plan is executed in iterations to deliver value incrementally. With each iteration, you continuously validate against the plan and document findings to improve the next sprint.
The use of the Migration Toolkit for Applications {ProductShortName} plugin increases speed in each iteration. It can be used with Eclipse or Red Hat CodeReady Studio, and marks migration issues directly in the source code, provides inline hints, and offers code change suggestions. See the Eclipse and Red Hat CodeReady Studio Plugin Guide for information on how to use the {ProductShortName} plugin.

Aardman Animations creates music video for Coldplay
Coldplay have teamed up with the studio behind Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep for their new music video.
The band unveiled a sneak peek of their collaboration with Aardman Animations with a teaser trailer on Wednesday.
The video, for Coldplay’s new song Daddy, is “an atmospheric journey through a girl’s fragmented memory about her father”.
Directed by Aardman’s Asa Lucander, it uses live-action puppetry, digitally painted sets and 2D animation to create a tapestry of styles that symbolise the girl’s memories of her dad.
The clip shared online shows a girl riding a giant fish across the sky.
Lucander said: “It was such an honour to direct this video for Coldplay.
“The first time I listened to the track it spoke to me on a deep level – I immediately started to imagine storylines and images formed in my mind’s eye.
“When this happens, you know you’re on to something very special.
“I’m often drawn to emotional stories and I knew very quickly that this was one I wanted to tell.”
Daddy is the fifth track on Coldplay’s eighth album, Everyday Life.
The band’s creative director Phil Harvey said: “Daddy isn’t a single in the traditional sense but we always wanted to make a video for it as the song feels like a story within itself.
“Asa and her team have done an incredible job in bringing the story to life.”
The full music video for Daddy will premiere shortly after the album’s release on November 22.

This section outlines important definitions and interpretations used in the CR Core IG.
For the purposes of this implementation guide, the terms clinical trial, study, and protocol are considered equivalent. The FHIR representation of these terms SHALL be interpreted as ResearchStudy
(See: https://www.hl7.org/fhir/researchsubject.html)
One of the primary requirements that this implementation guide seeks to outline and provide guidance for is the de-identification of clinical trial participant data. Typically, “patient” data is captured in the Patient
resource, which includes demographic and other types of information that determine who the individual is:
Within the scope of clinical research data exchange, protecting patient privacy throughout the entire process is of paramount importance. Anonymization techniques are typically used to remove identifying information from datasets before any clinical trial data is shared between parties.
There are two FHIR resources dedicated to representing the concept of clinical research - ResearchSubject
and ResearchStudy
.
Utilizing ResearchSubject
doesn’t eliminate the need for Patient
. Instead, ResearchSubject
establishes a linkage between a Patient
and a particular ResearchStudy
, and captures the information specific to that join (e.g. subject status within the study, assigned arm, whether their consent is done, etc.)
For the purposes of this implementation guide, when sharing patient information, you’d still have a Patient
resource, it simply would not contain identifying attributes such as name, etc. See the CR Core Patient profile for more information.

MyBinder is a hosted instance (aka binder hub) of an open source project called Binder. It so happens that My Binder is also hosted by the creators of Binder. People often use Binder and MyBinder interchangeably but that’s not correct. There are several other binder hubs and more are likely to be available.
You can just use the hub
argument in various functions (generate_badge

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT ** (out of four stars) A review by Jamey Hughton
Starring-Tommy Lee Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Guy Pearce, Bruce Greenwood, Ben Kingsley and Philip Baker Hall Director-William Friedkin Canadian Rating-14A Released by Paramount Pictures - 04/00
MOVIE VIEWS by Jamey Hughton http://Welcome.to/MovieViews
`Rules of Engagement' is not the standard Hollywood treatment for glorification of patriotism in battle. When covering this ground, the film achieves adequate success, and poses some interesting questions surrounding the line that separates heroic bravery from cowardly murder. However, the film is the standard Hollywood treatment of the aftermath of this patriotism. A textbook courtroom drama plagued with irksome, ho-hum plotting straight out of `A Few Good Men', it's quickly apparent that `Rules of Engagement' is a shameless indulgence in the worst of Hollywood dramatization. Hence, it's nothing new.
Momentum is achieved promptly by seasoned director William Friedkin (`The French Connection'), who, despite some vapid implausibility's, manages to stage some brutally realistic and effective battle sequences. We open in 1968 during the Vietnam War, where marines Terry Childers (Samuel L. Jackson) and Hayes Hodges (Tommy Lee Jones) are engaged in battle. When their platoon is separated, Childers winds up saving Hodges' life in extreme and courageous circumstances. Cut to 28 years in the future, where both men are now highly decorated colonels. Hodges is retiring to fly-fishing in relaxing backwood trout streams, but Childers continues his service, and is called into action for an operation in Yemen that requires the rescue and retrieval of the American Ambassador (Ben Kingsley) and his family. Due to extremely hostile rioting by Yemeni civilians and high-perched snipers surrounding the embassy, Childers loses three marines, while another lay critically wounded. He orders an open-fire into the crowd, mowing down over 80 rioters including women and children, in a disturbing sequence of images that Friedkin once again directs with nimble expertise. When Childers is court-martialed under the charges of murder and defiance of the standard rules of engagement for battle, his position in the marine core and future is at stake. He heads to Hodges and requests that he represent him in court. `I'm a good enough lawyer to know you need a better lawyer than me,' is the stern reply.
`Rules of Engagement' is a superbly structured military drama so far, a top-drawer model with stellar performances filling any cracks in the inconsistent foundation. And then Hollywood sneaks under the radar and takes hold of a potentially gripping story-line. The villain, played by Canadian Bruce Greenwood, is U.S. National Secuirity Advisor William Sokal. A cowardly weasel determined to find a scapegoat at any cost, Sokal destroys evidence of the rioters opening fire that would clear Childers' name. Like virtually everything in the film, the role seems cluttered and unfinished, although Greenwood plays Sokal with enough panache for forgiveness. Similar exoneration cannot be granted for the remainder of the choppy, uninvolving second half, which nose-dives into courtroom formula and the standard offering of gaping plot holes. Accepting Childers' position is initially difficult, because he have reluctance to scrounge up much sympathy for a man who slaughtered 83 people... and many of them innocent civilians. Future plot movements make this easier, but the actions of Jackson's character are too often inconclusive. Jones is also subject to unconvincing characteristics. While Hodges openly admits he is an inexperienced attorney, he still acts in feeble-minded ways, snapping pictures with a camera that looks like those waterproof Kodak models you purchase at the grocery store.
The star performances are one of the strong suits of `Rules of Engagement'. Jones and Jackson whole-heartedly convince us of their friendship and military background. Both have done far better work, but their high-powered verbal exchanges ignite the screen - particularly in a few tantalizing moments of courtroom confrontation that rise above the rest of the mundane triviality. Another key factor in these scenes is Australian Guy Pearce (`L.A. Confidential'), who fiddles around quite successfully with a New York accent to play prosecuting attorney Biggs, and adds more fuel to the fire. Mostly everything else in `Rules of Engagement' fizzles quietly, like a bad batch of pop rocks. Philip Baker Hall (as Hodges' father) and Blair Underwood (as a fellow testifying marine) are both solid but perpetually under-used. All promise of a stirring, pensive drama is plowed over by the transparent clichés of Stephen Gaghan's screenplay. Large portions of the script appear to be in shambles, perhaps the indication of material tampering that goes right to the core.
Any messages about war violence and its posterior consequences are lost in a haze of Hollywood formula. In `Rules of Engagement', you can't overlook the stellar acting and direction, but the remainder of this sloppy military drama will leave you in awkward state of ho-hum indifference. Sacrificing moral issues and fascinating war themes for tedious plotting and an inconclusive finale? Only in Hollywood, my friends.

Here we have a div
, with the id myExample0
, that has a list of links that point to some images (original size images), and where inside of each link there is a thumbnail. Calling Justified Gallery, the disposition of all the thumbnails is changed to fill all the spaces (justification). The images can be changed: bigger or smaller thumbnails can be loaded to always have an high quality.
The plugin knows the path of the other thumbnails of the same image changing the filenames suffix. For example, if in a link there is the thumbnail path/to/image1_t.jpg
, the plugin can be load the thumbnails path/to/image1_b.jpg
. The default suffixes are the same of Flickr (and this permits a smooth integration with this service).
Remember that the default value for the rowHeight is 120
. For this example the thumbnails with a longest side of 240px (i.e. _m
suffix) is a good choice to have be fast (i.e. the plugin doesn't need to reload the majority of all thumbnails).

       ...
 $("#basicExample").justifiedGallery();
This is an example where we use smaller images (rowHeight : 70
). To be faster, in this case we use smaller thumbnails (i.e. the _t
suffix, longest side of images is less than 100px). In this way the plugin probably will not load other thumbnails.
Remember that the rowHeight
is an approximation for the row heights. The final row heights can be higher to reduce the image crops. You can also set a maximum value for the height, using the option maxRowHeight
.
Furthermore, note that in this example we don't justify the last row (lastRow : 'nojustify'
), and also that we are using a margin of 5px (margins : 5px
).

       ...
 $('#myExample1').justifiedGallery({ rowHeight : 70, lastRow : 'nojustify', margins : 3 });

In the fixed boundary equilibrium problem, the shape of the boundary magnetic
surface (it is also the boundary of the computational region, which is usually
the last-closed-flux-surface) is given while the shape of the inner flux
surface is to be solved. A simple analytical expression for a D-shaped
magnetic surface takes the form
|
(454) |
|
(455) |
with changing from 0 to . According to the definition in
Eqs. (21), (22), and (24) we can readily
verify that the parameters , , appearing in Eqs.
(454) and (455) are indeed the minor radius, major radius,
and ellipticity, respectively. According to the definition of triangularity
Eq. (23), the triangularity for the magnetic surface
defined by Eqs. (454) and (455) is written as
|
(456) |
Another common expression for the shape of a magnetic surface was given by
Miller[5,10], which is written as
|
(457) |
|
(458) |
Note that Miller's formula is only slightly different from the formula given
in Eqs. (454) and (455). For Miller's formula, it is easy to
prove that the triangularity is equal to (instead of
as given in Eq. (456)).
In the iterative metric method[7] for solving the fixed
boundary equilibrium problem, we need to provide an initial guess of the shape
of the inner flux surface (this initial guess is used to construct a initial
generalized coordinates system). A common guess of the inner flux surfaces is
given by

(460) |

the shape of the LCFS is given by Eqs. (454) and (455), then

DEEP BLUE SEA USA, 1999 Directed by Renny Harlin Reviewed by Kent Johnson
Tagline: "You'll believe a shark can suck."

The film has great visuals, great underwater photography, great sets, reasonably convincing animatronic sharks, a good soundtrack, and a lead actress (Saffron Burrows) with a gorgeous face and a deliciously throaty British accent. The filming must have must physically grueling for the actors and enough money seems to have been spent to support a small country for a year (not to mention enough water to irrigate all their crops).

First there are the standard Hollywood flaws: The plot is completely lacking in logic, the characters have no depth and behave stupidly in order to provide suspense and, the most disappointing for a movie about smart sharks, the sharks are mere plot devices rather than characters, possessed of incredible speed, unlikely physical abilities and supernatural knowledge when convenient to generate suspense, mayhem and gotchas, but suddenly lacking all these qualities when they're inconvenient for the characters' survival.
On top of this, the film has several features that push it over into the "actively offensive" category:
1) An annoying, heavy-handed and insincere Christian subtext, seemingly designed to deflect censorship groups who might otherwise protest the film's violence.
2) A heavy-handed and insincere pro-black stance.
3) A heavy-handed anti-genetics-research message.
4) And, in keeping with its appease-the-censorship-groups policy, a near-complete lack of the female body. (A difficult feat for a film with beautiful women and this much water -- normally the province of bikinis, wet t-shirts and form-fitting scuba suits. In fact we see very little of the actresses other than their faces.)
The film seems to have been custom-designed for censorship groups with the intelligence of the average shark. I hope they enjoy it , since no one else will.
Not Recommended.
Not worth renting on video either, since the visuals are the film's only virtue and won't be that impressive on the small screen.

Do both my computer and the one I'm downloading from need to have this installed?
No, only the machine that is doing the downloading needs to install this.
There are no libraries for me to select! What's going on?
You need to first connect to the libraries within iTunes before they'll show up in Aethyr.
I've downloaded the music, so where are my files?
You can use the home icon to specify a download location. By default, they're in "My Documents/Aethyr", sorted by their tagged Artist/Album/Title. The download location you specify will be saved, so you won't have to enter it next time. (This also should carry over between updates.) Tip: Set it to "My Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Automatically Add to iTunes" to do just that.
Aethyr is downloading the files, but they all show up with a filesize of 0 kb.
This should be patched in the latest version, please use the feedback form if otherwise.
This is great! But I have a Mac. When are you going to port it?
Development is halted on this. I have no easy access to a Mac, and virtualization attempts are laggy and crash-prone.
Aethyr seems to stop working in the middle of downloading a set of songs.
This is due to a very rare disconnection bug. Maybe you changed or added internet sources while Aethyr was running?
Fix: Restart Aethyr.
I just installed Aethyr and it's not starting up, with no error message.
This happens on some computers. Close both iTunes and Aethyr, then start up Aethyr again.
Same as above but a window pops up saying, "Windows cannot find 'AethyrHelper.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
Adobe AIR didn't install properly, most likely because you ran the installer while offline. Go to http://get.adobe.com/air for the latest version.
Aethyr doesn't start up at all, and I've tried everything.
1) You are using an unsupported version of iTunes. You'll need to upgrade.
2) You don't have VC++ installed. Do a quick search online for "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package," and install it.
3) Run the program as administrator.
4) Upgrade Adobe AIR at http://get.adobe.com/air.
If none of the above fixes work, then your antivirus/firewall/UAC is most likely blocking Aethyr. Try creating an exception for it.
I don't know how to download songs / I can only download one at a time?!
Select songs by clicking on them, use <shift> and <ctrl> to select multiple songs at once. Hit the white arrow to download.
I specified a location using the home icon, but Aethyr will not write there or is writing to 'My Documents/Aethyr' instead.
The cause of this is UAC, which doesn't allow it to write to system-protected directories (this includes 'Program Files').
I can't use iTunes to listen to music while using Aethyr!
I realize that this is a current limitation. If possible, it'll be patched in an upcoming release. Even if it's not possible, the length of time will be reduced from the duration of the download to a few seconds.
Can this search using characters from other languages? (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Korean)
Yes! You may have to experiment a bit to figure out which keyboard input you need to use. For a starting reference, Chinese requires you to use the "New Experience Input Style" instead of the "ABC Input Style." A guess from this behavior is that you need to use input that displays a horizontal list as opposed to a vertical list.
Why do libraries have loading time?
This is a built-in limitation of iTunes that only occurs on the first load of a library. Switching between already loaded libraries is instantaneous.
Can't you combine all the libraries into one super-library?
This isn't possible due to performance issues. Even in iTunes, it takes longer to connect to bigger libraries.
Where do you plan to go from here?
First fix all the bugs that keep cropping up. Afterwards add a 'settings' button to choose which tags you want displayed, allow downloads from specific playlists of each library, playback while downloading, allow transfer of other types of media such as pictures and videos, and ripping from local iDevices plugged into your computer.

I'm A Celebrity's Kate in stitches as she showers Andrew in budgie smugglers
There’s never a dull moment in the I’m A Celebrity jungle and tonight was no different.
Picture this – Kate Garraway pouring cold water on Andrew Maxwell while he’s dressed in budgie smugglers – and it’s safe to say Kate could not keep a straight face.
As the campmates discussed having a shower, Andrew said he was happy to go first as he commented: ‘If you’re gonna wash under a bucket, do it glamour.’
Andrew changed into his budgie smugglers and as Andy saw them he exclaimed ‘Oh my god, what on earth are they?’

It could have been a scene from a shampoo advert as Kate threw cold water over the comedian as she laughed: ‘Just when you think the Jungle couldn’t get anymore weird, I feel like I’ve gone over the rainbow and I’m in Wizard of Oz or something, it’s too weird.’
It’s not the first time Kate and Andrew had an awkward moment as the ITV presenter offered to ‘chew’ Andrew’s meat for him.
As the outlaws in the jailhouse camp tucked into their evening meal of camel fillet, Andrew ate a large part of camel and started to choke as it got stuck in his throat.
Kate Garraway and Andy Whyment came to the rescue as they started to hit the comedian on the back, and eventually they managed to get the meat out
‘Chew your food, mate you scared us,’ exclaimed Myles as Andrew thanked everyone.
Kate continued: ‘You went bright red, I was like “oh my god”.’
Andy then pleaded with Andrew ‘not to do that again’ while Cliff offered to chew his meat for him going forwards.
Kate then joked: ‘I can chew your meat anytime you need.’

The camp burst out laughing as Kate added: ‘I didn’t mean it like that.’
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs weekdays at 9pm on ITV.
