Seemingly innocent requests for information are often the tip of the iceberg, leading to in-depth audits with wide-ranging scope and potential liability. Companies trying to go it alone without full knowledge of what may happen can be drawn into undesirable scenarios with expensive results. While some get lucky and suffer minimal impact, we are seeing quite a number of audits with the opposite result, culminating with very dramatic and costly conclusions. In many cases this can be prevented through early Cole involvement, proper management/control and in depth experience with the audit process.

We will assist the client by reviewing the penalties assessed, Provide advice on the best course of action and if required negotiate on the client’s behalf the terms of the PRA with either CBP or CBSA.
Penalty Mitigation - A variety of penalties can be applied for infractions incurred by importers. Each recurrent penalty increases the monetary amount of the next infraction. It is crucial that all penalties regardless of size or level be appealed to insure future compliance costs are kept to a minimum. Your import profile reflects the amount of customs enforcement you will receive and determines the frequency of customs audits. Our service focuses on the reduction or removal of penalties from your import record.

Seemingly innocent requests for information are often the tip of the iceberg, leading to in-depth audits with wide-ranging scope and potential liability. Companies trying to go it alone without full knowledge of what may happen can be drawn into undesirable scenarios with expensive results. While some get lucky and suffer minimal impact, we are seeing quite a number of audits with the opposite result, culminating with very dramatic and costly conclusions. In many cases this can be prevented through early Cole involvement, proper management/control and in depth experience with the audit process.
The ARU is Cole’s answer to CBSA Audits. The ARU assists customers following notice from CBSA requesting information with regards to tariff, valuation, NAFTA investigations or during of a full compliance verification. ARU will liaison directly with customs officials and help prepare documentation in response to requests. ARU will draw upon their extensive knowledge of customs regulations and practices to resolve outstanding issues and to help customers avoid potential penalty assessments.
Our team of industry professionals will help to interpret Customs letters, challenge decisions and ensure that you are represented by an experienced team that will act in your best interest to minimize exposure to penalties, monitor changing policies, both regionally and nationally, confirm and insure uniform application of any precedents set in various regions across the country, interpret both the interim and final audit reports to help identify and determine if any changes are required to your business practices and ensure that you are represented fairly when working with Customs officials.
Penalty Reduction Agreements (PRAs) - US and Canadian customs can allow companies to enter into PRA’s following the assessment of penalties relating to import compliance. We will assist the client by reviewing the penalties assessed, Provide advice on the best course of action and if required negotiate on the client’s behalf the terms of the PRA with either CBP or CBSA.
Penalty Mitigation - A variety of penalties can be applied for infractions incurred by importers. Each recurrent penalty increases the monetary amount of the next infraction. It is crucial that all penalties regardless of size or level be appealed to insure future compliance costs are kept to a minimum. Your import profile reflects the amount of customs enforcement you will receive and determines the frequency of customs audits. Our service focuses on the reduction or removal of penalties from your import record.
Cole will attempt to reverse the impact of enforcement action and provide advice on future compliance requirements, including appeals directly to the assessing officer, the Adjudications Directorate of the Canada Border Service Agency, Customs Border Protection or higher when necessary and warranted.
Seizure Appeals - Seizures and ascertained forfeiture occur when goods have not been reported or were undervalued for Customs purposes. We will represent the client in such enforcement action, prepare any required appeals and provide advice on future conformance.
BORDER SECURITY
Cole International's consultants will help you navigate and negotiate the ever-changing, ever more complex border security issues that have become the norm since 9/11.
C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) - is a joint US Customs-business initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen overall supply chain and border security. Through this initiative, Customs is asking businesses to ensure the integrity of their security practices and communicate their security guidelines to their business partners within the supply chain.
Our service entails all aspects of the C-TPAT application and acceptance process including preparation and submission of the Memorandum of Understanding and preparation and submission of the supply chain security profile questionnaire to Customs.
Cole conducts a comprehensive self-assessment of supply chain security using the C-TPAT security guidelines jointly developed by Customs and the trade community. These guidelines encompass areas of Procedural Security, Physical Security, Personnel Security, Education and Training, Access Controls, Manifest Procedures, and Conveyance Security.
We can help you to develop and implement a program to enhance security throughout the supply chain in accordance with C-TPAT guidelines and communicate C-TPAT guidelines to other companies in your supply chain.
PIP (Partners in Protection) - is a joint Canada Customs-business initiative to build cooperative relationships that strengthen overall supply chain and border security. Through this initiative, Customs is asking businesses to ensure the integrity of their security practices and communicate their security guidelines to their business partners within the supply chain. Services for this program are the same as those offered under our C-TPAT program noted above.
Security Maintenance Program - This program focuses on the yearly maintenance aspects of being a member of C-TPAT or PIP. Annually vendors are polled to identify their ongoing commitment to security. Security profile updates and changes to security policy, process must be voluntarily submitted to Canada or US Customs or both. Failure to update your files correctly can result in the loss qualification status. Annual monitoring and self-assessment is a critical part of maintaining your existing security status. This service proactively manages the monthly or yearly maintenance requirements for both security programs.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
For companies constructing, importing or exporting manufacturing/processing facilities or similar capital projects whose scope or volumes demand special care and attention, Cole International's consultants apply their keen experience to ensure timely release and delivery of goods, minimized duties and taxes, and full compliance with regulatory requirements and CBSA standards. Cole International's capital project experience includes oil & gas refineries, manufacturing plants, oil- sands mines, petrochemical complexes, power plants and airport expansions with budgets ranging from a few hundred thousand to over six billion dollars.

Create-setter
Setters provide a solution for template-free setting or substitution of field
values through package metadata (OpenAPI). They are a safer alternative to
other substitution techniques which do not have the context of the
structured data – e.g. using sed
to replace values.
The OpenAPI definitions for setters are defined in a Kptfile and referenced by a fields through comments on the fields.
Setters may be invoked to programmatically modify the configuration
using kpt cfg set
to set and/or substitute values.
Creating a Setter
Setters may be created either manually (by editing the Kptfile directly), or
programmatically (through the create-setter
command). The create-setter
command will:
- create a new OpenAPI definition for a setter in the Kptfile
- create references to the setter definition on the resource fields
# Kptfile -- original
openAPI:
definitions: {}
# deployment.yaml -- original
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: foo
spec:
replicas: 3
# create or update a setter named "replicas"
# match fields with the value "3"
kpt cfg create-setter hello-world/ replicas 3
# Kptfile -- updated
openAPI:
definitions:
io.k8s.cli.setters.replicas:
x-k8s-cli:
setter:
name: "replicas"
value: "3"
# deployment.yaml -- updated
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: foo
spec:
replicas: 3 # {"$ref":"#/definitions/io.k8s.cli.setters.replicas"}
Invoking a Setter
# deployment.yaml -- original
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: helloworld-gke
labels:
app: hello
spec:
replicas: 3 # {"$ref":"#/definitions/io.k8s.cli.setters.replicas"}
# set the replicas field to 5
kpt cfg set DIR/ replicas 5
# deployment.yaml -- updated
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: helloworld-gke
labels:
app: hello
spec:
replicas: 5 # {"$ref":"#/definitions/io.k8s.cli.setters.replicas"}
Types
Setters may have types specified which ensure that the configuration is always serialized correctly as yaml 1.1 – e.g. if a string field such as an annotation or arg has the value “on”, then it would need to be quoted otherwise it will be parsed as a bool by yaml 1.1.
This may be done by modifying the Kptfile OpenAPI definitions as shown here:
openAPI:
definitions:
io.k8s.cli.setters.version:
x-k8s-cli:
setter:
name: "version"
value: "3"
type: string
Set would change the configuration like this:
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: foo
annotations:
version: "3" # {"$ref":"#/definitions/io.k8s.cli.setters.version"}
Enumerations
Setters may be configured to map an enum input to a different value set in the configuration.
e.g. users set small
, medium
, large
cpu sizes, and these are mapped
to numeric values set in the configuration.
This may be done by modifying the Kptfile OpenAPI definitions as shown here:
openAPI:
definitions:
io.k8s.cli.setters.cpu:
x-k8s-cli:
setter:
name: "cpu"
value: "small"
# enumValues will replace the user provided key with the
# map value when setting fields.
enumValues:
small: "0.5"
medium: "2"
large: "4"
Set would change the configuration like this:
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: foo
spec:
template:
spec:
containers:
- name: foo
resources:
requests:
cpu: "0.5" # {"$ref":"#/definitions/io.k8s.cli.setters.cpu"}
Examples
# create a setter called replicas for fields matching "3"
kpt cfg create-setter DIR/ replicas 3
# scope creating setter references to a specified field
kpt cfg create-setter DIR/ replicas 3 --field "replicas"
# scope creating setter references to a specified field path
kpt cfg create-setter DIR/ replicas 3 --field "spec.replicas"
# create a setter called replicas with a description and set-by
kpt cfg create-setter DIR/ replicas 3 --set-by "package-default" \
--description "good starter value"
# scope create a setter with a type. the setter will make sure the set fields
# always parse as strings with a yaml 1.1 parser (e.g. values such as 1,on,true
# will be quoted so they are parsed as strings)
# only the final part of the the field path is specified
kpt cfg create-setter DIR/ app nginx --field "annotations.app" --type string
Synopsis
kpt cfg create-setter DIR NAME VALUE
DIR:
Path to a package directory
NAME:
The name of the substitution to create. This is both the name that will
be given to the *set* command, and that will be referenced by fields.
e.g. replicas
VALUE
The new value of the setter.
e.g. 3

The Winter Olympics were held this year in PyeongChang, South Korea and Norway was the absolute leader of the games. This time, the Nordic country was able to get a head start and it was notorious from the beginning with 14 gold medals in cross-country skiing. However, countries expected to get among the top like the USA did not make it. For example, in Figure Skating Nathan Chen and Mirai Nagasu set a new Olympic record but didn’t get a medal from it, on the other hand, its female hockey team won for the first time in 20 years to Canada (Calfas, 2018).
However, How are the sports classificated at the winter olympics, which are the most relevant and which country dominated each discipline?
1. Give an overview of the Winter Olympics to someone interested but, not familiar with the games, by allowing him/her to Explore the classification of sports and disciplines.
2. Identify which countries dominated each discipline.
3. Identify which winter disciplines have the most medals in each category.
Main Tasks
T1. Explore - Topology: (Overview of Winter Sports) Explore the classification of sports and disciplines at the Winter Olympics to give an overview.
Secondary Tasks
T2. Browse - Features: (Winner Country) By knowing the location (e.g. Alpine Sports>Snowboarding>Gold) it is possible to find the country that dominated the discipline, in this case it was USA.
T3. Identify - Extremes: (Disciplines) Find the discipline that has the most medals in each category of winter sports.
Derivation Tasks
T4. Derive - Topology: Derive a new dataset based on the general classification of winter sports and medal count per discipline.
WHAT
Original information was available at the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/ng-interactive/2018/feb/09/winter-olympics-latest-medal-table-for-pyeongchang-2018
There was an accordion menu to choose the discipline and see the winners per category but not overall.
The information available at the BBC website was processed manually to build a tree. The tree starts with the three types of winter sports, then, each sports splits into its different disciplines, later, each discipline splits into three categories: Gold, Silver and Bronze, to finally find the countries as leafs and answer who won more medals of each kind. The resulting dataset is available as JSON and has the following characteristics:
Dataset Type: Tree.
Dataset Availability: Static.
Attributes:
Idiom: Icicle Treemap. .
Marks: Shape (Rectangles).
Channels:
Interaction: Select to Filter and zoom in and out.
The visualization presents us the following insights:

class
statsmodels.tsa.statespace.representation.
Representation
(k_endog, k_states, k_posdef=None, initial_variance=1000000.0, nobs=0, dtype=<class 'numpy.float64'>, design=None, obs_intercept=None, obs_cov=None, transition=None, state_intercept=None, selection=None, state_cov=None, **kwargs)[source]¶ State space representation of a time series process
Parameters: k_endog : array_like or integer
The observed time-series process if array like or the number of variables in the process if an integer.
k_states : int
The dimension of the unobserved state process.
k_posdef : int, optional
The dimension of a guaranteed positive definite covariance matrix describing the shocks in the measurement equation. Must be less than or equal to k_states. Default is k_states.
initial_variance : float, optional
Initial variance used when approximate diffuse initialization is specified. Default is 1e6.
initialization : {‘approximate_diffuse’,’stationary’,’known’}, optional
Initialization method for the initial state.
initial_state : array_like, optional
If known initialization is used, the mean of the initial state’s distribution.
initial_state_cov : array_like, optional
If known initialization is used, the covariance matrix of the initial state’s distribution.
nobs : integer, optional
If an endogenous vector is not given (i.e. k_endog is an integer), the number of observations can optionally be specified. If not specified, they will be set to zero until data is bound to the model.
dtype : dtype, optional
If an endogenous vector is not given (i.e. k_endog is an integer), the default datatype of the state space matrices can optionally be specified. Default is np.float64.
design : array_like, optional
The design matrix, . Default is set to zeros.
obs_intercept : array_like, optional

selection : array_like, optional
The selection matrix, . Default is set to zeros.
state_cov : array_like, optional
The covariance matrix for the state equation . Default is set to zeros.
**kwargs
Additional keyword arguments. Not used directly. It is present to improve compatibility with subclasses, so that they can use **kwargs to specify any default state space matrices (e.g. design) without having to clean out any other keyword arguments they might have been passed.
Notes
A general state space model is of the form
where refers to the observation vector at time , refers to the (unobserved) state vector at time , and where the irregular components are defined as
The remaining variables () in the equations are matrices describing the process. Their variable names and dimensions are as follows
Z : design
d : obs_intercept
H : obs_cov
T : transition
c : state_intercept
R : selection
Q : state_cov
In the case that one of the matrices is time-invariant (so that, for example, ), its last dimension may be of size rather than size nobs.

This dialog provides information on the two permutations that are used to encrypt or decrypt the active document. In the dialog box Used Permutation and its Inverse you can gather information on encryption using permutation. Further particulars about the key input dialog are mentioned in the dialog box Permutation Key Input.
The first field shows the 1st permutation displayed in numbers, the following field its inverse. Accordingly, the 3rd field contains the 2nd permutation and the 4th field its inverse.
If you use the inverses of the permutations when encrypting a document, the result is the same as if you decrypt the document without using the inverses.
Accordingly, encrypting a document without using the inverted permutations and decrypting a document using the inverses result in the same ciphertext.
The title of this dialog states whether the entered permutation or its inverse is used:


module Loofah::TextBehavior
Overrides text
in HTML::Document and HTML::DocumentFragment, and mixes in
to_text
.
Public Instance Methods
text(options={})
click to toggle source
Returns a plain-text version of the markup contained by the document, with HTML entities encoded.
This method is significantly faster than to_text, but isn't clever about whitespace around block elements.
Loofah.document("
Title

Content
").text # => "TitleContent"
By default, the returned text will have HTML entities escaped. If you want unescaped entities, and you understand that the result is unsafe to render in a browser, then you can pass an argument as shown:
frag = Loofah.fragment("") # ok for browser: frag.text # => "" # decidedly not ok for browser: frag.text(:encode_special_chars => false) # => ""
# File lib/loofah/instance_methods.rb, line 94 def text(options={}) result = serialize_root.children.inner_text rescue "" if options[:encode_special_chars] == false result # possibly dangerous if rendered in a browser else encode_special_chars result end end
Also aliased as: inner_text, to_str
to_text(options={})
click to toggle source
Returns a plain-text version of the markup contained by the fragment, with HTML entities encoded.
This method is slower than to_text, but is clever about whitespace around block elements.
Loofah.document("

There are some options that can be set by opening the Options modal with the link in the bottom right hand corner of the playback window. These options and features control playback and saving and restoring playbacks.
The animation speed of the playback can be set in 25 ms increments to make experiencing playbacks comfortable for the viewer.
The speed can be controlled from the keyboard using the shift + up arrow
and shift + down arrow
.
By default, an animated playback will pause on every comment. If the viewer would like view a playback without comments this option can be can be unchecked.
If text was removed or inserted in a programming session with cut or paste it is possible to view those operations in a single step. By default, this option is not turned on and all cut and pastes will animate one character at a time.
All new changes to a playback are displayed in blue (for inserts) and red (for deletes). It is possible to disable this option. It is also possible to clear the recent changes when paused in a playback.
The documentation in Downloading the code in a playback
describes how to download the code associated with a playback. The zip file that holds this code also has a directory
called .storyteller
that contains the data required to playback the history of that code.
If a viewer would just like to store the raw playback data (and not the code that goes with it) they can download a
single file called playbackData.json
from any playback. This holds all of the information required to
generate a playback (which can then be used to download the source code). This file can be downloaded on this part
of the 'Options' modal. Find out more about sharing playbacks here.
Tip: When sharing code and playbacks this is a convenient format to send to others.
Tip: Saving playbackData.json
in this way preserves the
filters that have been applied to the playback.
Tip: An alternate way of saving a playback is to save the html file that gets generated by Storyteller using the browser's 'Save' option. This is a very fast and convenient way of saving and sharing a playback. One drawback is that if the playback is filtered the filters will not be present in the saved web page.
A playbackData.json
file can be uploaded to play a stored playback. This will wipe out the current playback
in the browser.
The size of the text can be increased or decreased using the size option.
Tip: There are convenient keyboard shortcuts for most of these options to make it easier to quickly navigate a playback.

Superstar * * (out of * * * * )
Directed by Bruce McCulloch. Cast: Molly Shannon, Will Ferrell, Elaine Hendrix, Harland Williams, Emmy Laybourne, Glynis Johns, Mark McKinney, Gerry Bamman. 1999 - 82 minutes Rated PG-13 (for sexual innuendo and profanity). Reviewed by Dustin Putman, October 8, 1999.
The popular "Saturday Night Live" character of the Irish Catholic high schooler Mary Katherine Gallagher probably doesn't have a more avid fan than myself. Watching the dwindling SNL each week, mostly in hopes of seeing the effervescent Molly Shannon portray the clumsy, yet sweet, underdog who dreams of being a success in whatever she sets out to do, Mary Katherine Gallagher stands as a role model--albeit an exaggerated one--for a lot of young people who may not be the prettiest or most popular, but who have a good soul and remain true to themselves.
There was a lot of hope on my part that "Superstar," the character's debut feature film adaptation, would be a successful and bright comedy, one with a lot of heart and a lot of laughs, and with the always-entertaining Shannon on-board, I doubted it could fail. SNL-based motion pictures are too often criticized with the cliched statement that the movies almost always fail miserably because the usual 5-minute skits are stretched out to an insufferable film of an hour-and-a-half, but, for the most part, I disagree (unless the words, "The Blues Brothers," "Coneheads," or "Stuart Saves His Family," appear in the title). Even the critically-maligned SNL film from last year, "A Night at the Roxbury," was, for me, one of the most enjoyably funny comedies of 1998, far more satisfying than the uneven, overrated "There's Something About Mary."
That being said, 'guilty' would be the most accurate adjective to describe the way I feel for ultimately having to give "Superstar" a negative two-star rating. Although often outrageous, and outrageously rib-tickling, the film consistently does feel as if about fifteen 5-minute skits have been edited together, with three or four warm, character-defining moments placed in between, to pad out the running time to a far-too-brief, underdeveloped 82 minutes (including the opening and end credits).
The story is simple--almost painfully so--but it still could have worked had the screenplay been more focused and innovative, and the characters dealt with more satisfyingly. Unfortunately, the picture has been whittled down to a strenuously shallow concoction that, aside from its message concerning the importance of inner beauty, is only skin-deep.  Working part-time at a video store in which she gets to rewind the videocassettes as she watches her favorite movies over and over again, and attending St. Monica's Catholic High School, Mary dreams of nothing more than to be a superstar, "like the people you see in the movies." She also has an almost obsessive crush on the captain of the football team, Sky Corrigan (Will Ferrell), but unfortunately, he is currently going out with head-cheerleader/ice-queen Evian (Elaine Hendrix). When St. Monica announces their forthcoming "Let's Fight V.D." Talent Contest, Mary instantly knows what she's going to do: she's going to audition, and by golly, she's going to perform in the contest, and hopefully, will be able to nab Sky's admiration in the process.
"Superstar" is littered throughout with such delightful moments that it frequently starts to win you over, only for a slow spot to arise and sink things back down into mediocrity. The majority of the jokes are easy targets, and have been recycled from the usual character traits of Mary Katherine Gallagher, such as her tendency to fall over things, stick her hands under her armpits and sniff them when she grows nervous, and recite monologues from made-for-TV movies that will better express what she is feeling at any given moment. These moments tellingly add up to the heartiest laughs in the whole picture (particularly one sequence set in a confessional in which Mary expresses her feelings through a dead-on, perfectly-imitated monolgue from "Sybil," starring Sally Field), but while they work wonderfully and are especially memorable within the confines of a tiny skit, they plays as more of an afterthought in a big-screen movie.
Front-and-center is the incomparable female comedian Molly Shannon, who brings each and every one of her characters to vibrant life, whether it be on SNL or in films, which she has gradually, and deservedly, been doing more of recently. Although amicably appearing in supporting roles in "A Night at the Roxbury" and last Spring's Drew Barrymore vehicle, "Never Been Kissed," "Superstar" is Shannon's first chance to be the star attraction and shine throughout, and she does just that. Mary Katherine Gallagher is an earnest, likable creation, a person who is often accidentally involved in pratfalls, but is never demeaned or directly made fun of, and Shannon embodies the role with both sweetness and cheerful humor. That she is a 34-year-old actor playing a teenager (and this mostly goes for the whole "teen" cast) only aids in the picture's campy, almost innocent feel, reminiscent of 1978's classic musical, "Grease!"
Will Ferrell, as the object of Mary's compulsive affections, is underused and never really written fully as an actual character, instead remaining a sort of enigma throughout. Meanwhile, Harland Williams, as a silent, brooding fellow student/outcast who takes a liking to Mary, is a far more effective love interest, and Elaine Hendrix is clearly enjoying herself as the nasty, unredeemable villain, Evian. In one of the film's funniest scenes, Mary and Evian wage war in a battle of verbal insults that concludes with Mary practicing out martial arts moves that she learnied from watching a lot of Jackie Chan movies. "You're parents died because of their embarrassment of you," Evian heartlessly quips, to which Mary responds, "Well, at least I wasn't named after a type of bottled water." Later, Mary hilariously advises Evian to drink a bottle of herself.
By the time "Superstar" had reached its abrupt climax at the talent contest, I had become disappointed because I knew the film would soon be over, and what had come before was marginally adequate at best. Making matters worse, the large majority of its central comic moments were blatantly shown in the theatrical trailer and non-stop TV ads, and so they didn't work quite as well as they could have. Even when it somewhat recoups itself with a slightly unforeseen conclusion, and includes a crowd-pleasing moment for Mary that caused my theater's audience to erupt into applause (to which I almost was tempted to join in), the film is a major missed opportunity. Not only does it feel like a rush-job, but it possesses the exact aura of a skit, rather than a fleshed-out portrait of an admittedly lovable character. With "Superstar," Molly Shannon proves once and for all that she does, indeed, have what it takes to be a superstar; it's just too bad that for her first starring role, her marvelous character couldn't have been given a more worthwhile film vehicle.

BOOST_IDL_BEGIN
BOOST_IDL_BEGINz
BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE
The macros BOOST_IDL_BEGIN
, BOOST_IDL_BEGINz
and BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE
are used to begin an interface definition in the macro-based interface definition language (IDL).
<boost/interfaces.hpp>
<boost/interfaces/detail/idl/begin.hpp>
#define BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE(name, arity) ... #define BOOST_IDL_BEGIN(name) BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE(name, 0) #define BOOST_IDL_BEGIN1(name) BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE(name, 1) #define BOOST_IDL_BEGIN2(name) BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE(name, 2) ... #define BOOST_IDL_BEGINN(name) BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE(name, N)
BOOST_IDL_BEGIN
#define BOOST_IDL_BEGIN(name) ...
| name | - | The name of the interface being defined |
The macro BOOST_IDL_BEGIN(name)
is used to begin the definition of a non-templated interface name
. E.g., the following IDL definition
BOOST_IDL_BEGIN(IBar)
BOOST_IDL_FN0(foo, void)
BOOST_IDL_END(IBar)
is equivalent to the pseudocode
interface IBar { void foo(); };
BOOST_IDL_BEGINz
#define BOOST_IDL_BEGINz(name) ...
| name | - | The name of the interface being defined |
The macro BOOST_IDL_BEGINz(name)
is used to begin the definition of a z
-ary templated interface name
. The keword template
and the template parameter list must precede BOOST_IDL_BEGINz
. E.g., the following IDL definition
template<typename T> BOOST_IDL_BEGIN1(IStack) BOOST_IDL_CONST_FN0(empty, bool) BOOST_IDL_FN1(push, void, const T&) BOOST_IDL_FN0(pop, void) BOOST_IDL_FN0(top, T&) BOOST_IDL_CONST_FN0(top, const T&) BOOST_IDL_END1(IStack)
is equivalent to the pseudocode
template<typename T> interface IStack { bool empty() const; void push(const T&); void pop(); T& top(); const T& top() const; };
BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE
#define BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE(name, arity) ...
| name | - | The name of the interface being defined |
| arity | - | The template arity of the interface being defined |
The macro BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE(name, arity)
is used to begin the definition of a templated interface name
, if arity
is non-zero, and a non-templated interface name
otherwise. In the case of a templated interface, the keword template
and the template parameter list must precede BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE
. E.g., the following IDL definition
template<typename T> BOOST_IDL_BEGIN_TEMPLATE(IStack, 1) BOOST_IDL_CONST_FN0(empty, bool) BOOST_IDL_FN1(push, void, const T&) BOOST_IDL_FN0(pop, void) BOOST_IDL_FN0(top, T&) BOOST_IDL_CONST_FN0(top, const T&) BOOST_IDL_END_TEMPLATE(IStack, 1)
is equivalent to the pseudocode
template<typename T> interface IStack { bool empty() const; void push(const T&); void pop(); T& top(); const T& top() const; };

Case of ‘mistaken fratricide’: Centre on shooting down of Air Force chopper in Feb
Last month, Air Chief Marshal Rakesh Kumar Singh Bhadauria described the incident as a 'big mistake'.
by PTINew Delhi: The government on Wednesday termed as "mistaken fratricide" the shooting down of its own helicopter by the Indian Air Force in Kashmir on February 27 when India and Pakistani forces were engaged in a dogfight.
Minister of State for Defence Shripad Naik said the aircraft was shot down during a war-like situation developed due to the hostile action by Pakistani Air Force.
A surface-to-air missile of the Indian Air Force brought down the Mi-17 aircraft in Budgam in the Kashmir Valley, killing six IAF personnel on board the chopper and a civilian on the ground.
"It was a case of mistaken fratricide, during the war-like situation, developed due to the hostile action of Pakistan Air Force at the LoC near Srinagar," Naik said in the Lok Sabha while replying to a question.
"The inquiry has been concluded and concerned individuals have been held blameworthy," he said.
Last month, Air Chief Marshal Rakesh Kumar Singh Bhadauria described the incident as a "big mistake" and said disciplinary action has been taken against officers held responsible for it.
The helicopter crashed in Budgam around 10 am on February 27 when Indian and Pakistani fighter jets were engaged in fierce aerial combat in Nowshera, a day after India's air strike on a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist training camp in Balakot in Pakistan.
The helicopter went down around 10 minutes after taking off.
