You need Openfire 4.0 and above with Java 1.8.
You will need to have configured Openfire with MySQL or compatible DB. Other DBs have not beed tested or confirm suitable for WordPress.
Openfire Social is a plugin which combines WordPress and BuddyPress to provide a fully collaborative online social community. Openfire Social has a dependency on the fastpath and ofmeet plugins.
Openfire is auto-configured as follows when plugin is installed and reset back when plugin is uninstalled:
Please note that Only Openfire and MySQL required. No Apache, No PHP. The Openfire Social plugin has embedded Quercus PHP Engine which is a 100% Java implementation of PHP 5.
Quercus presents a new mixed Java/PHP approach to web applications and services where Java and PHP tightly integrate with each other. WordPress and BuddyPress interface directly with Openfire. This capability is made possible because 1) PHP code is interpreted/compiled into Java and 2) Quercus and its libraries are written entirely in Java.

Magic mushrooms can create vivid hallucinations of strange and fantastical things, such as abstract geometric shapes. Credit: WhiteHaven/Shutterstock.com |
Magic mushrooms may give users trippy experiences by creating a hyperconnected brain.
The active ingredient in the psychedelic drug, psilocybin, seems to completely disrupt the normal communication networks in the brain, by connecting "brain regions that don't normally talk together," said study co-author Paul Expert, a physicist at King's College London.
The research, which was published today (Oct. 28) in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, is part of a larger effort to understand how psychedelic drugs work, in the hopes that they could one day be used by psychiatrists — in carefully controlled settings — to treat conditions such as depression, Expert said. [Trippy Tales: The History of 8 Hallucinogens]
Magic mushrooms
Psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, is best known for triggering vivid hallucinations. It can make colors seem oversaturated and dissolve the boundaries between objects.
But the drug also seems to have more long-lasting effects. Many people report intensely spiritual experiences while taking the drug, and some studies even suggest that one transcendent trip can alter people's personalities on a long-term basis, making those individuals more open to new experiences and more appreciative of art, curiosity and emotion.
People who experiment with psilocybin "report it as one of the most profound experiences they've had in their lives, even comparing it to the birth of their children," Expert told Live Science.
Making connections
Scientists have long known that psilocybin binds to a receptor in the brain for serotonin, a brain chemical that plays a role in mood, appetite and sleep, but exactly how the drug transforms the whole brain's pattern of communication isn't clear.
In past work, Expert's colleagues had found that psilocybin spurred the brain into a more dreamlike state, and that the drug decreased brain activity.
In the current study, the team used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan the brain activity of 15 healthy volunteers — once after they had taken a placebo, and once after they took the hallucinogen psilocybin. (The team chose only people who had reported past positive experiences with magic mushrooms to prevent them from panicking inside the claustrophobic MRI machines.)
The team then compared the brain activity of the individuals on and off the drug, and created a map of connections between different brain regions.
Psilocybin dramatically transformed the participants' brain organization, Expert said. With the drug, normally unconnected brain regions showed brain activity that was synchronized tightly in time. That suggested the drug was stimulating long-range connections the brain normally wouldn't make. After the drug wore off, brain activity went back to normal.
Drug's effect
Psilocybin may create a brain state akin to synesthesia, a sensory effect in which one sense stimulus (such as a number) always gets paired in the brain with another (such as a color or a sound), the researchers wrote in the paper. People with synesthesia may see certain colors when they hear music, or always see the number 3 in yellow, for instance, Expert said.
The findings could help scientists who are studying the drug as a potential treatment for depression, Expert said. Past work has found that people tend to be happier even after using psilocybin just once, but scientists would need to get a much better picture of how the drug impacts the brain before using psilocybin to treat depression, Expert said.
The research could ultimately also help answer bigger questions of the mind, like how people construct a sense of self.
"Through studies such as these we can really begin to tackle the questions of how we achieve coherent experiences of ourselves in the world around us, and understand what makes this break down," said Mitul Mehta, a psychopharmacology researcher at King's College London, who was not involved in the study.

KolmoLD can also be applied to streaming media. Suppose we are streaming a video at 360p off of a site that uses adaptive bitrate streaming. Our buffer will hold a few 360p frames to prevent stalling. Once the video player detects that our network could support 720p, our 360p frames in buffer will be discarded.
With the help of KolmoLD, we can avoid having to discard the buffered frames. Data expressions provide many ways for us to formulate our desired higher resolution frame.
In this example, we would like to upgrade our 360p BMP to 720p BMP. Two data expressions are provided to formulate the 720p BMP: 1. Directly downloading the 720p image 2. Using a web assembly module that takes in both resolutions and uses the difference of them to build the higher resolution BMP from the lower resolution BMP


You can reach the functionality regarding UU Encode respectively UU Decode using the menu Individual Procedures \ Tools \ Codes \ UU Encode/Decode.
UUencode is a coding procedure for representing binary data in a printable char set. The name was derived from "Unix to Unix encoding", because it was originally intended for unix systems only.
UUencode is no encryption: No key is used, and every time the plaintext is encoded to UUcode it leads to the same output.
UUencode became popular, because it was one of the first possibilities to send emails with arbitrary data, in which at that time only ASCII characters were allowed. The Usenet (an online messaging platform) was another place were UUencode was often used. UUencode is based on the ASCII char set and therefore is only useful for the data exchange between ASCII platforms. The UUencoding is mostly replaced by Base64 encoding, which only uses characters which exist in both the ASCII and the EBCDIC char set.
An UUencoded file basically consists of 3 parts:
The first line always starts with a "begin". After a space you get the file permissions in form of three digits as used under unix, and after an additional space the file name.
Example:
| begin 644 cryptool.exe |
In the body, the real encoding takes place.
Like in Base64 encoding, a 24-bit buffer is always divided into 4 blocks with 6-bit each.
Each 6-bit value is increased by decimal 32, and then the corresponding ASCII character is used. By adding 32, the value gets out of the area of the control characters (ASCII 0 to ASCII 31).
Due to problems that arise by sending mails with the space character (= ASCII 32), the character "`" (= ASCII 96 ) is being used.
The first byte of a line is used for the length byte, it counts the number of input characters which are encoded in this line, here too, increased by 32.
Therefore the number of input characters per line is limited to the highest number which is possible with 6-bit: 63:
A common value for the length byte is the ASCII character "M" (= ASCII 77). So there are 77 - 32 = 45 input characters – which result in 60 coded characters – written in one line.
Every line could have a different length. But usually all lines, except the last line, have the same length.
Encoding expample: The word "Cat"

In case the number of input characters is no multiple of three, the end is filled up with binary zeros until the next full 6-bit block.
Possible cases:1 input character = 8 bit = 1 full 6-bit block + 2 bit. These are filled up with 4 binary zeros for getting two full 6-bit blocks = 2 coded characters.

Man says he found scorpion in berries bought at grocery store
by Natalie Dreier, Cox Media Group National Content DeskCHARLOTTE, N.C. - A south Charlotte man claims he nearly ate a scorpion last week after bringing home blackberries he bought from a local grocery store.
Tim Fox said he made the disturbing discovery last Tuesday evening, and he’s not happy with how the store where he said he purchased the fruit handled his complaint.
He said it happened while eating his snack at work at a car dealership in Rock Hill.
"When I went to put one of the berries in my mouth, it was kind of hanging from it,” he said.
Fox said he didn’t realize what it was at first and immediately threw it in the trash.
“I went back, and I looked in the trash and I picked this scorpion up and it was dead,” he said. “I put it on my desk at work and I had about four coworkers around me, and we were like, ‘Oh my God.’”
Fox, who lives in Ballantyne, said he buys berries from the Harris Teeter almost every week. He purchased the MegaBerryes brand blackberries two days before eating them.
The day he opened the fruit and saw the scorpion, Fox said he called the Harris Teeter and asked a manager to remove the packages from the produce section before actually going to the store to speak with the manager face-to-face.
“I showed him what I had, and he didn’t really act like he cared, and didn’t really say a whole lot about it,” Fox said.
He said the manager showed him about 10 packages he removed from the shelf, but Fox thinks more should have been done.
“They should have immediately taken every single blackberry in that store and went through every single package,” he said.
Fox gave the manager his phone number and asked for a call from the grocery chain’s corporate office, but said he called the corporate office last Wednesday after he didn’t get a call back right away.
He said the company offered him a $500 gift card, but he turned it down. Fox said he would like something more substantial.
“I just think that they need to understand that they need to be more careful,” he said.
WSOC contacted Harris Teeter and a communications manager responded to the request for comment in an email, writing:
“Harris Teeter is conducting a thorough investigation. Harris Teeter and its vendors are committed to the absolute highest standards in regard to quality. We regret this shopper’s experience did not reflect those standards.”
MegaBerryes, the Texas-based company listed on the package of blackberries, was also contacted but has not yet responded.

I have built and deployed the current only power monitor using a SCT-013-000 and Arduino Uno. The only thing I changed was the 33 ohm burden resister to 146 ohm to get better resolution at lower current since clamp is good for 100 A but I am monitoring only up to 15A.
I cannot seem to find the docs for the EmonLib - specifically what the values in lines like "emon1.current(1, 11.0); // Current: input pin, calibration" and "double Irms = emon1.calcIrms(1480); // Calculate Irms only" mean.
emon1.current(1, 11.0) was emon1.current(1, 111.1) in the example code - I know the second value it has to do with the burden resister size but how is it calculated/estimated? I came up with 11.0 by trial and error but, being an engineer (not an electrical engineer, unfortunately), that approach does not make me happy.
What does the 1480 in the emon1.calcIrms(1480) mean? Is it something that may need adjustment? Current and apparent values now being reported are sensible.
Thanks in advance.
Re: How to Calibrate?
Welcome, Dennis.
The emonLib documentation is in the source files in the form of comments, assisted by the variables or parameters names.
"emon1.current(1, 11.0); // Current: input pin, calibration"
The first parameter is the input pin - ADC1 or Channel 3 of the emonTx, the second parameter is the calibration constant as you discovered. How to calculate that is in the Building Blocks section, CT and AC power adaptor installation and calibration theory.
"double Irms = emon1.calcIrms(1480); // Calculate Irms only"
The parameter is the number of samples over which the current is averaged. It will normally read between 100 and 120 per mains cycle - on a 50 Hz system. Obviously, it would be best to measure an exact number of cycles in order to get an accurate average, but there's no safe way to do this without a voltage reference (as the current waveform might be greatly distorted and may even have more than two zero crossings per cycle). So a large number was chosen so that the error caused by having only part of a cycle is diminished.

You have to make almighty decisions when you're the creator. You can't make a mistake. Anything that happens you can learn to use - and make something beautiful out of it. Be so very light. Be a gentle whisper. Be brave.
I get carried away with this brush cleaning. Imagination is the key to painting. When you buy that first tube of paint it gives you an artist license.
  I get started on them and I have a hard time stopping.  We don't make mistakes we just have happy little accidents. I will take some magic white, and a little bit of Vandyke brown and a little touch of yellow.
It's a good way of getting rid of all your anxieties and hostilities. We'll throw some happy little limbs on this tree. No pressure. Just relax and watch it happen. If you overwork it you become a cloud killer. There's nothing worse than a cloud killer.
 Use it. Make friends with it.  Let's make some happy little clouds in our world.
If you don't think every day is a good day - try missing a few. You'll see. Let your imagination just wonder around when you're doing these things. Here's another little happy bush
So often we avoid running water, and running water is a lot of fun. You can get away with a lot. Let your heart take you to wherever you want to be.  Use what you see, don't plan it.
We start with a vision in our heart, and we put it on canvas. Just go back and put one little more happy tree in there. If you do too much it's going to lose its effectiveness. Maybe there's a happy little waterfall happening over here.
A fan brush can be your best friend. And right there you got an almighty cloud. Anyone can paint. Talk to trees, look at the birds. Whatever it takes.  We'll put a happy little sky in here.
Didn't you know you had that much power? You can move mountains. You can do anything. Everything is happy if you choose to make it that way. It's amazing what you can do with a little love in your heart. Don't hurry. Take your time and enjoy. Let's build some happy little clouds up here. If it's not what you want - stop and change it. Don't just keep going and expect it will get better.
Isn't it great to do something you can't fail at? The first step to doing anything is to believe you can do it. See it finished in your mind before you ever start. Nice little clouds playing around in the sky.
Nice little fluffy clouds laying around in the sky being lazy. God gave you this gift of imagination. Use it. Let's go up in here, and start having some fun Nothing wrong with washing your brush. You can create the world you want to see and be a part of. You have that power.
Just a little indication. Every single thing in the world has its own personality - and it is up to you to make friends with the little rascals. It's so important to do something every day that will make you happy. Tree trunks grow however makes them happy. Clouds are free they come and go as they please. Do an almighty painting with us.
It's a very cold picture, I may have to go get my coat. It’s about to freeze me to death. We have no limits to our world. We're only limited by our imagination. For the lack of a better word I call them hangy downs. That's the way I look when I get home late; black and blue.
We artists are a different breed of people. We're a happy bunch. I'll go over the colors one more time that we use: Titanium white, Thalo green, Prussian blue, Van Dyke brown, Alizarin crimson, Sap green, Cad yellow, and Permanent red. These things happen automatically. All you have to do is just let them happen.
Let that brush dance around there and play. Only think about one thing at a time. Don't get greedy. By now you should be quite happy about what's happening here. You're meant to have fun in life.
Mix your color marbly don't mix it dead. We must be quiet, soft and gentle. With practice comes confidence. We wash our brush with odorless thinner.
Life is too short to be alone, too precious. Share it with a friend. The more we do this - the more it will do good things to our heart. Learn when to stop. This is the fun part Isn't that fantastic that you can create an almighty tree that fast? Just make a decision and let it go.
The only prerequisite is that it makes you happy. If it makes you happy then it's good. It is a lot of fun. We tell people sometimes: we're like drug dealers, come into town and get everybody absolutely addicted to painting. It doesn't take much to get you addicted. Take your time. Speed will come later.
Use what happens naturally, don't fight it. Even the worst thing we can do here is good. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over is the garbage. This is probably the greatest thing to happen in my life - to be able to share this with you. Even trees need a friend. We all need friends.
It looks so good, I might as well not stop. Follow the lay of the land. It's most important. Anything you want to do you can do here. Everybody's different. Trees are different. Let them all be individuals. It's beautiful - and we haven't even done anything to it yet.


Great British Bamboo invasion: Gardeners urged NOT to grow the marauding oriental plant as it invades neighbours' land and threatens house foundations
by Joe Pinkstone For Mailonline- Some variants of bamboo have roots which extend laterally called rhizomes
- These are tough and robust shoots which threaten to break through bricks
- Also found invading neighbouring gardens and owners can be sued
- Plan can not be killed with herbicide and requires extensive work to destroy
British homeowners are being warned of the dangers of growing bamboo in gardens, with experts likening its effects to those of the dreaded Japanese knotweed.
Bamboo is particularly popular in urban areas due to its screening qualities, creating privacy in overlooked gardens. However, it can also be highly invasive and can spread out of control if allowed.
One homeowner in Reading was forced to excavate her entire garden, after it grew to several meters in height and began to spread across the garden towards the house, damaging her patio.

Bamboo's rhizomes are capable of spreading up to 30ft (ten metres), and if left unchecked and untreated, they can invade neighbouring gardens and even pose a threat to the foundations of houses.

Bamboo is a plant, native to Asia.
It has a greater compressive strength than brick or concrete. It is also as hard to snap as steel.
Bamboo is a grass, and doesn't have the traditional vascular bumbles as most trees.
Its resilience and unique anatomy makes it hard to kill or treat.
Traditional herbicides are ineffective as chemicals move through the plant differently compared to most plants/trees.
The only way to get rid of a bamboo invasion is via the energy depletion method.
This involves cutting the canes to ground level before new leaf appears and repeating the process annually in order to deplete the energy reserves in the root system, which can take several years.
Alternatively, it can be professionally excavated in a matter of days.
Like the notorious Japanese knotweed, bamboo can strangle plots of land, due to its ability to damage property and breach brick, masonry, patios and even cracks in concrete.
It is capable of thriving in a range of soils, temperatures and environments, with little to no maintenance.
Even 'clumping' bamboos, although preferable to running varieties, can become invasive if left unchecked for a number of years, as they will often grow taller than advertised.
Nic Seal, managing director of Environet UK, which deals with all types of invasive plants including Japanese knotweed and bamboo, said: 'Bamboo is a vigorous and fast-growing plant that has been steadily growing in popularity in the UK over the last decade or so, but it's very difficult to contain and virtually impossible to kill with herbicide.
'It's commonly sold at nurseries and garden centres across the country with little or no warnings about its invasive nature or sensible advice about how to contain it.
'If you do decide to plant bamboo, make sure you choose a clumping variety such as Bambusa or Chusquea and avoid the running types which send long roots out spreading many metres from the original plant.
'It's also a good idea to place it in a pot or bed which is lined with a strong vertical root barrier designed to contain bamboo.'
Retired couple Angela and John Francis from Reading say they were mis-sold their bamboo by a local nursery.
They were promised it would not grow above waist height and would not spread.
But the bamboo shot up and out, damaging the patio and approaching the house.
Environet was hired to remove the bamboo via large excavations of the garden using a mini-digger to remove the root system.
As well as damaging the aesthetics of the garden, it can cause neighbourly disputes if it invades nearby plots of land.
Mark Montaldo, Solicitor and Director at CEL Solicitors which deals with legal claims relating to invasive plants, said: 'Bamboo is a growing problem, as unlike Japanese knotweed it's not officially classed as an invasive species and there are currently no restrictions on planting it.
'Consequently, there has been an increase in the number of neighbourly disputes following encroachment of bamboo across garden borders.
'I have acted for a number of clients who have taken legal action against their neighbour for nuisance caused as a result of a bamboo infestation where the offending party has had to pay significant removal costs and legal bills.
'Due to the increase in nuisance claims it is something that the mortgage companies are closely looking at and I wouldn't be surprised to see them imposing lending restrictions on properties that suffer with bamboo infestations in the future.'
WHAT IS JAPANESE KNOTWEED?
Japanese Knotweed is a species of plant that has bamboo-like stems and small white flowers.
Native to Japan, the plant is considered an invasive species.
The plant, scientific name Fallopia japonica, was brought to Britain by the Victorians as an ornamental garden plant and to line railway tracks to stabilise the soil.
It has no natural enemies in the UK, whereas in Asia it is controlled by fungus and insects.
In the US it is scheduled as an invasive weed in 12 states, and can be found in a further 29.
It is incredibly durable and fast-growing, and can seriously damage buildings and construction sites if left unchecked.
The notorious plant strangles other plants and can kill entire gardens.
Capable of growing eight inches in one day it deprives other plants of their key nutrients and water.

We could use infixr to define our assignment operators, but we want to do two extra bits of business, so we will make a specialized assignment function. It will examine the left operand to make sure that it is a proper lvalue. We will also set an assignment flag so that we can later quickly identify assignment statements:
var assignment = function (id) { return infixr(id, 10, function (left) { if (left.id !== "." && left.id !== "[" && left.arity !== "name") { left.error("Bad lvalue."); } this.first = left; this.second = expression(9); this.assignment = true; this.arity = "binary"; return this; }); }; assignment("="); assignment("+="); assignment("-=");
Notice that we have a sort of inheritance pattern, where assignment returns the result of calling infixr, and infixr returns the result of calling symbol.

[SOLVED] Arch Linux - pacman - ERROR - invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)
[SOLVED] Arch Linux : pacman : ERROR -> invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)
Ran into this and couldn’t upgrade. After a bit of Googling around and looking at thread after thread after thread of discussion about flags, config files, sigLevels, etc. I found a 1 line fix that didn’t required any of the aforementioned “maybes”.
# pacman-key --refresh-keys
fixed.
The issue is one of the authors of a package you have installed has since updated their PGP signature they use to sign and verify their packages. Your local key for said package is unaware of this and pacman thinks you’re being duped by an untrustworthy package. This fix just runs through your keychain and requests the most recent keys for all of the packages you care about.
Once the key fetching is done running your upgrade should go off without a hitch. If it doesn’t… talk to my friend Google, he’ll know more than I.

Checklists and forms
My memory has been trash as of late. Actually ever since grad school I realized how limited my memory was. I was also getting older of course, and developing migraines and such. They really don’t talk about how much mental health problems (esp depression and anxiety) just can completely destroy memory and executive function.
But anyways, it really forced me to be more deliberate in terms of planning, notetaking, and a few other things that ended up being useful skills overall. Since I couldn’t remember anything after a meeting I had to write everything down, summarize it to everyone at the end, and even write up a short summary. Took extra time and didn’t always keep to it, but it did help.
The same was true of planning. I had to be really deliberate in scheduling out my days and weeks to compensate for being unable to shift tasks. Realized I had to plan to plan, and schedule for scheduling, put in extra time just to switch tasks. I even joked with my therapist about scheduling time for existential dreadIt did not always work lolsob .
One particular trick I liked was having google forms used for checklists in regular or route work. The software developers I worked with did this for QA, so when doing experimental designs we tried the same thing. Making checklists for everything is common among doctors and engineersAs far as I know. There was some blog somewhere that talked about doing this in research, which I can’t find right now. , since it needs to be consistent even when you’re tired and can’t think. In research checklists makes sense for a lot of things, such as making graphs or running subjects. Having this checklist be in a google form specifically means that you’ve collected all that data, and can produce a forcing function where you can force someone to answer a questions before continuing.
While applying this to work is obvious, using google forms for more personal things was something I hadn’t considered until my partner recently started using it. They used a google form to help work through some practices suggested by their therapist. I thought it was a great idea when they told me, so I started using it for some of my own mental health practices as well. Specifically, making a simple google form, and then saving the webpage on my phone as a quick link. Clicking it opens the form and lets me go through a bit of CBT or journaling or whatever more easily. Not a bad way to go around learning to code some wellness app.

This function is often used in conjunction with Pic.Width to obtain the dimensions of a picture loaded using Pic.FileNew.
var pic : int := Pic.FileNew ("lighthouse.jpg")
var width : int := Pic.Width (pic)
var height : int := Pic.Height (pic)
var x, y : int := 0
loop
exit when y > maxy
loop
exit when x > maxx
Pic.Draw (pic, x, y, picCopy)
x := x + width
end loop
x := 0
y := y + height
end loop
This means that you can only call the function by calling Pic.Height, not by calling Height.

Runaway Bride (1999) 1 1/2 stars out of 4. Starring Julia Roberts, Richard Gere and Joan Cusack. Directed by Garry Marshall.
"Runaway Bride" is nothing more than a cynical device to reteam Julia Roberts and Richard Gere and capitalize on the magic they created a decade ago with "Pretty Woman."
"Runaway Bride" is so contrived, so phony, that only the star power of Roberts and Gere manage to make it salvageable.
The story is preposterous, totally fluff. A young woman, Maggie (Roberts), continually leaves men at the altar. A columnist for "USA Today" (Gere) takes her to task and, because his column contained some inaccuracies, he is fired.
Gere's Ike then finagles a free-lance assignment to travel to Maggie's rural Maryland town and dig up some dirt on her by checking with residents who will talk with him, including the skittish bride, as well as her jilted grooms.
The movie is rather tame. The premise has all the makings of one of those classic screwball comedies from the 1930s. Irene Dunne, Barbara Stanwyck or Jean Arthur would have been perfect for the bride, while Henry Fonda, Jimmy Cagney or Jimmy Stewart would have fit snugly into the columnist's shoes.
Unfortunately, the "Runaway Bride" script does not utilize the outlandish possibilities of the situation to its comic potential. It tries to be more romance than comedy, and is too tame, too sedate.
Which is too bad, since it has the prime ingredient needed for a successful screwball comedy recipe - a cast of strong supporting actors. But director Garry Marshall doesn't seem to take advantage of many of these performers - except for the incomparable Joan Cusack as Maggie's best friend.
Cusack is a treasure, a talented performer who adds luster to any film in which she appears. She was the bright spot in the disappointing "Arlington Road," and here she helps elevate the humor above what seems indicated in the script.
Gere and Roberts are magical. The chemistry between them is still there. Yet it seems like such wasted potential because everything seems so predictable, so by-the-numbers.
True, the movie offers several laughs, but it seems "Runaway Bride" has to strain for them instead of allowing them to flow naturally.
"Runaway Bride" is a pastiche, a movie that seems cobbled together from bits and pieces of other works. Fans of Roberts and Gere probably will enjoy it - but even they are not enough to sustain this weighted effort.

Polymorphisms of human Ah receptor gene are not involved in lung cancer.
The Ah receptor (Ahr) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that positively regulates inducible expression of the CYP1A1 gene. Based on the sequence information of the human Ahr and the intron-exon junctions of the mouse counterpart, an analysis of single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) was carried out to detect subtle base differences in the coding region of the gene among individuals. We found that the Ahr protein has at least two forms of variants in a Japanese gene pool, and that these variants can be ascribed to one amino acid replacement of Arg by Lys at codon 554. The frequencies of Arg-coded and Lys-coded alleles were 0.57 and 0.43, respectively. We found, however, that this germ line polymorphism of the Ahr gene did not show a significant association with aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) inducibility nor with lung cancer incidence.


Markup
Here, we test the rendering of comment markup.
Let's get these done first, because sections will be used to break up the rest of this test.
Besides the section heading above, there are also
and
but odoc has banned deeper headings. There are also title headings, but they are only allowed in mld files.
Sections can have attached Anchors, and it is possible to link to them. Links to section headers should not be set in source code style.
Individual paragraphs can have a heading.
Parts of a longer paragraph that can be considered alone can also have headings.
This paragraph has some styled elements: bold and italic , bold italic, emphasis, emphasis within emphasis, bold italic, superscript, subscript . The line spacing should be enough for superscripts and subscripts not to look odd.
Note: In italics emphasis is rendered as normal text while emphasis in emphasis is rendered in italics. It also work the same in links in italics with emphasis in emphasis.
code
is a different kind of markup that doesn't allow
nested markup.
It's possible for two markup elements to appear next to each other and have a space, and appear nextto each other with no space. It doesn't matter how much space it was in the source: in this sentence, it was two space characters. And in this one, there is a newline.
This is also true between non-code
markup
and code
.
Code can appear inside other
markup. Its display
shouldn't be affected.
This is a link. It sends you to the top of this
page. Links can have markup inside them: bold
, italics, emphasis
, superscript,
subscript, and
code
. Links can also be nested
inside markup. Links cannot be nested inside
each other. This link has no replacement text: #
. The text is filled in by odoc. This is a shorthand link:
#. The text is also filled in by odoc in this case.
This is a reference to foo
.
References can have replacement text:
the value foo. Except for the special lookup
support, references are pretty much just like links. The replacement
text can have nested styles: bold,
italic,
emphasis,
superscript,
subscript, and
code
. It's also possible to surround
a reference in a style: foo
. References can't be nested inside references, and links and references
can't be nested inside each other.
This is a code block:
let foo = ()
(** There are some nested comments in here, but an unpaired comment
terminator would terminate the whole doc surrounding comment. It's
best to keep code blocks no wider than 72 characters. *)
let bar =
ignore foo
There are also verbatim blocks:
The main difference is these don't get syntax highlighting.
just creates a paragraph outside the list.
To get around this limitation, one
can use explicitly-delimited lists.
foo
The parser supports any ASCII-compatible encoding, in particuλar UTF-8.
Raw HTML can be as inline elements into sentences.
If the raw HTML is the only thing in a paragraph, it is treated as a block element, and won't be wrapped in paragraph tags by the HTML generator.
Math elements can be inline:
\int_{-\infty}^\infty
, or blocks:
% \f is defined as #1f(#2) using the macro \newcommand{\f}[2]{#1f(#2)} \f\relax{x} = \int_{-\infty}^\infty \f\hat\xi\,e^{2 \pi i \xi x} \,d\xi
Each comment can end with zero or more tags. Here are some examples:
Some modules to support references.
module X
: sig ...
end
module Y
: sig ...
end


Short Thoughts: The existential horror of Progress Bars
Progress bars are UI elements that have been in use for decades. They are so commonplace that not only we don’t question them, but we also expect them to be there. However, are they actually any good? Do we need them?
Types of Progress Indicators
I think instead of talking about progress bars we need to talk about progress indicators. Basically a set of UI elements that show that work is being done and that the user must wait. We can place these indicators in two categories: elements showing an “amount of progress” (determinate indicators) and elements showing “indefinite progress” (indeterminate indicators). The former category would contain things like progress bars that fill up, UI elements showing a percentage etc. In contrast, the latter would contain elements like spinners, progress bars (that don’t actually show a value and instead show some sort of animation) or even different mouse cursors such as an hourglass or Mac OS' dreaded beach ball.
Determinate indicators are (kind of) a lie
Showing a task’s percentage of completion sounds like a great idea. It shows how much work is done and therefore how much is left, but most importantly it can give the user a rough idea of how long until something will be done. The problem, in general, is not with the indicator itself but with the tasks. Realistically, the progress of a lot of tasks cannot be accurately (or even roughly) estimated. This is especially bad when things like networking are involved. It’s not uncommon to see progress bars fly only to get stuck for a long time near the end or in random places.
Does this mean determinate indicators are useless? If they can’t show accurate progress, wouldn’t an indeterminate indicator work just as well?
It’s all about the feedback
If we can argue against having determine indicators unless they are accurate, can we argue against indeterminate indicators and to just say a “Please wait” text would work well enough?
I don’t think so…
Progress indicators serve another purpose, which is to tell the user that stuff is happening and the application is not frozen. While may not actually be true, it at least gives the illusion that work is being done behind the scenes. Not only that, different kinds of indicators will subconsciously inform the user of the magnitude of what is happening in the background and thus how long a “normal” wait time would be. For example, showing a skeleton on a web page not only tells the user that it is loading, but also that the information will be loaded at any instant. This is conveyed not only by showing the user (a fake version of) the page they are loading immediately, but also by taking advantage of what users are already used to! If we used a progress bar for that same page it would probably feel slower (even if it took the same amount of time) simply because we are used to seeing progress bars for longer tasks. The opposite I believe also applies. Normally things like spinners are used for short loading times. Using a spinner for something like an OS upgrade can work but only if it’s accompanied by some other information. If this was not the case, and users just saw a spinning circle for half an hour, they would probably think something is broken.
Basically, the way we’ve been using progress indicators determines our expectations for the future and in turn determines how we will be able to use them again.
The best indicator is no indicator
The best progress indicator is the one not shown, not because we chose not to show one but because we can actually mask it. An example of this would be loading things while some animation is shown or even pre-loading information that we are likely to show in the future. An example of this is fading out a login screen. This gives whatever should be shown e.g. a desktop some time to load while making it feel seamless. Another good example of this in action is in video games, where things can be preemptively loaded for example during a cutscene.
Finding places where this can be done is extremely hard though and this not done often
Conclusion
Progress indicators are weird. More often than not they aren’t even remotely accurate, however, we need them to give us emotional comfort and to assure us work is happening behind the scenes and that everything is going according to plan. It is always a good idea too, to do work in advance and not have to ask the user to wait.

Girls Club or, Charlie's Angels Graduate
from Law School, Get Their First Jobs and Lose All Common Sense
by Christine Corcos
David E. Kelley's new "lawyer
drama" Girls Club debuted on October 21. If you are
interested, tune in soon. It will probably not be around for
too many episodes.
Three
recent Stanford Law School graduates, the fairly conservative
Sarah Mickle (Chyler Leigh), the resolutely tough Lynne Camden
(Gretchen Mol), and the relentlessly adorable and mature Jeannie
Falls (Kathleen Robertson), share a lovely apartment and brand
new careers at a conservative, highbrow, San Francisco mega-firm
run by Nicholas Hahn (Giancarlo Esposito) and his cohorts: a
sleazy sexually harassing type ("Spencer Lewis," played
by Brian Markinson) and a "tough broad" type ("Meredith
Holt," played by Lisa Banes). These young women desperately
want to be part of the "club" that runs the legal system,
the club that does not value "girls." The question
is, how desperately? Desperately enough to disband their own
"club" (i.e. to abandon their sisterhood)? Desperately
enough to play along with the law firm's unwritten rules about
accepting unwanted attentions from the male partners and clients?
Desperately enough to accept criticisms that may or may not be
warranted? Desperately enough to accept second chair (or second
fiddle) when they think they deserve better treatment?
David E. Kelley poses these
questions as part of a larger consideration of the treatment
that pretty, smart and relatively inexperienced women get in
the legal workplace. By itself this is an important issue, but
Kelley trivializes much of it. The sexual harassment that Jeannie
undergoes is now a cliché-The King of Queens satirized
it this week in an episode in which a partner's four-year-old
son repeatedly grabs Carrie's breasts while she is babysitting
him (at work, no less). Just as she gets up the courage to tell
the partner, the little boy switches his affections to another
secretary in the firm whose charms are more
um
pronounced.
In Girls Club, Sarah discovers that another associate
("Rhanda Clifford", played by Christina Chang) is out
to torpedo her: the associate convinces her that their supervising
partner likes things done a particular way, but this turns out
not to be the case. The cynical managing partner assigns Lynne
to a capital murder case, for which she is clearly not emotionally
or professionally ready, in order to "test her mettle,"
then causes her to doubt herself even more by revealing that
a predatory and manipulative (female) D.A. has complained that
she is "infatuated" with her client. The leading female
partner in the firm has the nickname "The Praying Mantis",
apparently because the associates perceive her as an intellectual
and professional stalker.
Indeed, the associates have
nicknames for nearly everybody, including their colleague Mitchell
Watson (known as "the Worm," apparently because he
busies himself trying to win over the partners-maybe "the
Weasel" would have been more apt), and the male partners
and senior associates, known as "dicks." This seems
to be the extent of their attempt to avenge themselves on what
they perceive to be the general unfairness of the system at Hahn,
Lewis and Holt. And it indicates the major problem with the show,
which is that it portrays women who were smart enough to get
through Stanford Law successfully and be hired by such a firm
as not smart enough to understand that a lot of things in life
and the workplace are unfair, and that very few people, even
those with enough power and influence to stand up to the wrongdoers,
will step up to the plate to right that unfairness. In addition,
has school taught these women nothing? Did they not check out
the reputation of the firm before they accepted offers? Where
did they learn that snapping back at hiring partners is acceptable
after a month on the job (if ever)? I have on occasion run into
students who think that disrespect toward their professors is
a constitutionally protected right-whatever academic dean in
charge of students at the time soon disabuses them of that notion
and whatever career services professionals are in the building
let them know that such behavior on the job leads not to a job
offer but to a pink slip.
The enduring problem that Mickle,
Camden and Falls face is a simple one: does one burrow into the
system and try to change it from within, or does one walk away
and try to change it from without, while maintaining the moral
high ground? These young women want to have it both ways: they
want to be part of the club before they have paid their dues,
and they want to change the club even though they are in the
minority and don't have the votes. They have, in effect, the
same attitude as does Ally McBeal, and they run into the same
problems.
Now, Lynne, Sarah and Jeannie
actually do have some engaging and attractive characteristics.
They are loyal to one another. They are committed to the practice
of law (even if they still haven't quite figured out how it squares
with the practice of life). They dress nicely (probably too nicely
for first year associates still paying off law school debt).
Of course some of the things
that happen in the first episode of Girls Club are both
ugly and realistic. Some associates do try to sabotage their
colleagues. Some male partners are unrepentant, testosterone-soaked
sharks who see every XX that comes through their doors as juicy
prey. Some female partners have developed carapaces and philosophies
that rival those of 100-year-old desert tortoises. Some partners
do set new associates up to fail. But all in the same law firm
within one month? Yikes. I don't demand absolute truth from my
television shows, but so much fantasy is off-putting. The deck
is so completely stacked against this trio of professional minnows
that they're unlikely to make it through another week in these
predator-infested waters, never mind the three or four years
it takes for a law firm to make back its initial investment in
a new associate.
Maybe that explains all the
whining. Sarah is upset when, rather than firing her over some
highly inappropriate and gay-bashing comments she makes to Rhanda,
Hahn sentences her to ten weekends of therapy and anger management.
She insists to her roommates that she is not homophobic-well,
perhaps, but anyone who uses a derogatory term referring to gender
in the context of a professional conversation (even an angry
one) loses the presumption of innocence. Lynne vows that Hahn
won't make her cry and she tells him so, leading with her brave
little chin. Does she think she is standing up to him, and that
he doesn't "get it"? Cute. And why is she standing
up to him? Yes, he assigned her to what he thought was a losing
case. But why, after rehearsing her opening for days, does she
panic and completely forget it? Lucky for her and Sarah, both
Hahn and Holt are grownups who won't hold their childishness
against them until there's simply no other choice.
Jeannie has a more significant
problem, and one that is not of her own making. One of the male
partners is harassing her, and making his desire for her extremely
obvious. Why does Jeannie fail to confront him? Far from demonstrating
her wimpiness, this failure actually shows that even though she
is surprised and upset, she, unlike her friends, has some political
savvy. Confronting him without having lined up some assistance
from other partners in the firm and some witnesses to his behavior
is just foolhardy. It is a career-ender. She would be fired.
No other law firm, having notice of the reason (and any other
law firm would certainly manage to uncover the reason), would
hire her. The presumption of innocence here is with the male
partner, not with her. How can she address the problem? Either
Meredith Holt or Nicholas Hahn seems to be the best bet to assist
with Jeannie's complaint. While Hahn might seem to want total
obedience and total silence from the associates, his subdued
and careful explanation of the death of Lynne's client indicates
that he is not a monster. Holt may seem tough as nails, but she
does offer the girls some useful advice: "close your door
if you're going to gossip"; "don't make enemies out
of people who bear you no ill-will"; and "don't call
your colleagues names." This is the kind of advice our mothers
have always given us, and even if Holt is not a den mother and
doesn't see herself as one, she still seems to believe that part
of her role as a name partner is to shepherd this clueless group,
who seem never to have heard of Betty Friedan or Simone de Beauvoir
or the fight they championed, through what remains of the social
and political land mines facing the feminist infantry.
That the heroines of the show
spend a lot of time writing briefs and doing research is realistic,
and I'm glad to see that the "grunt work" of lawyering
has some prominence. But a good deal of the plot is just weak,
and serves to put the women in peril for no other reason than
the custom that we apparently can never see capable and successful
women lawyers on television. Lynne is doing well with her case
until her supervising partner tells her of a nasty remark made
by the D.A. Assuming that he finds it necessary to tell her,
why doesn't he assure her that he doesn't believe it? Why doesn't
he sit second chair with her, once he realizes that the D.A.
is worried about losing, Lynne is rattled, and that this client
actually has a chance? It is a capital murder trial, after all.
Rainmaking is extremely important in law firms. If Sarah really
has brought in the client over whom she and Rhanda are bickering,
is it likely that the partners will fail to recognize that, especially
since the client may have something to say about his/her representation
at the firm? Her partner assigns Jeannie to an ugly and frivolous
suit against a hapless physician because the complainant is the
sister of another partner. Why not just take the case himself
and quietly dispose of it as a favor to his colleague (especially
since Jeannie could so easily have mishandled the situation)?
As I have noted, Sarah and
Lynne, and to some extent Jeannie, just "don't get it"--
unlike Mitchell Watson, who tells Sarah to "look for a lateral"
move before she gets fired. He sees the handwriting on her wall
and is generous enough to share it with her. I don't see any
ulterior motives in his frank assessment of her position. What
I see is political astuteness and some free advice. Here's my
free advice to David E. Kelley: either explain to us how such
relentlessly silly women got hired in the first place (their
looks can't totally account for that, and I am not convinced
by the repeated comments by the partners to these associates
that in spite of the criticism they actually are capable), and
account for the law firm's continuing success in the face of
such obvious mis-management, or give the Trendy Trio brain and
personality transplants. Get them with the program, or get them
to their own law firm, where they will sink or swim-very likely
the former, just like this show.
The official website
urges viewers to "join the club" and try to win a weekend
in San Francisco and a shopping spree at Saks' Fifth Avenue.
Silly. Bygones.
