Interacting with media and games is a challenging user experience on smartwatches due to their small screens. We propose using lateral force feedback to enhance these experiences. When virtual objects on the smartwatch display visually collide or push the edge of the screen, we add haptic feedback so that the user also feels the impact. This addition creates the illusion of a virtual object that is physically hitting or pushing the smartwatch, from within the device itself.

PI
A Film Review by James Berardinelli
RATING: *** OUT OF ****
United States, 1998 U.S. Release Date: 7/10/98 (limited) Running Length: 1:25 MPAA Classification: No MPAA Rating (Violence, profanity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.66:1
Cast: Sean Gullette, Mark Margolis, Ben Shenkman, Pamela Hart, Stephen Pearlman, Samia Shoaib Director: Darren Aronofsky Producer: Eric Watson Screenplay: Darren Aronofsky Cinematography: Matthew Ubatique Music: Clint Mansell U.S. Distributor: Live Entertainment
PI, the letter, is a character in the Greek alphabet roughly equivalent to the English "p." PI, the mathematical notation, is commonly used to represent the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. PI, the movie, is Darren Aronofsky's debut feature (and the winner of a directing award at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival), an independent science fiction thriller that combines questions about God and infinity with the personal struggle of one man to regain control of his life.
PI is actually the second low-budget, no-effects science fiction movie I have seen this year. The other, Hilary Brougher's THE STICKY FINGERS OF TIME, will be released by Strand Releasing during the Fall. I must admit to liking the approach embraced by PI and STICKY because the monetary limitations have spawned creative scripts with unique solutions. Without ILM and a $100 million budget to fall back upon, film makers who venture into this arena must be prepared to truly engage the minds of their audiences instead of relying upon a DTS sound system and state of the art visuals to generate oohs and aahs.
PI is the story of Max Cohen (ably portrayed by Sean Gullette), a computer geek with a genius for mathematics. Socially, Max is completely inept. Aside from occasionally showing off his arithmetic abilities to a girl who lives in his apartment building, he avoids all human contact, including any interaction with his attractive next door neighbor (Samia Shoaib), who shows an interest in him. Max lives by three basic principles: (1) mathematics is the language of nature, (2) everything can be represented and understood through numbers, and (3) there are patterns in nature. His objective is to use his home-built supercomputer, Euclid, to analyze the patterns in the financial markets to predict the exact performance of every stock. During the course of his studies, he encounters a mysterious string of 216 digits, and, when a Jewish numerologist (Ben Shenkman) becomes aware of this, he confides in Max that "the pattern in the Torah is 216 digits," and this discovery may hold the key to unlocking God's true name. Max, who doesn't believe in God, is more interested when his mentor (Bark Margolis) reveals that he once encountered a "bug" of 216 digits when he was investigating pi.
Max's mathematical brilliance comes at a price, however: he has frequent, debilitating headaches and seizures that send him into a bizarre state of consciousness. During those episodes, he encounters people who stalk him then disappear, and, on one occasion, he discovers a brain lying on the ground in a New York City subway station. The key to Max's genius and pain appears to be a mark on his skull, and, perhaps in order to eliminate the one, he must sacrifice the other.
Although the plot of PI is eccentric (even for a science fiction effort), Aronofsky's message is actually quite simple: life does not fit into neat patterns, and complete control is impossible. Oddly, this is also the underlying premise of the two JURASSIC PARK movies, proving that certain concepts are universal. However, the central theme is only one of many fascinating subjects tapped into by the screenplay. For example, Max's quest to use numerical patterns to model every aspect of the universe reveals some interesting facts about the Hebrew language. (In Hebrew, all letters have a numerical equivalent. The number for "man" is 3. The number for "woman" is 41. 41+3=44, which is the number for "child.") In addition to all of its intellectually-stimulating aspects, PI also works as a character study of an obsessed individual whose single-minded goal blinds him to everything else, including health, friendship, love, and even sanity.
Aronofsky elected to shoot the film in black-and-white, which lends a dream-like atmosphere to all of the proceedings. PI transports us to a world that is like yet unlike our own, and, in its mysterious familiarity, is eerie, intense, and compelling. Reality is a fragile commodity, but, because the script is well-written and the central character is strongly developed, it's not hard to suspend disbelief. As the movie draws to a conclusion, it perhaps becomes a little too ambitious in trying to unify all the great questions of existence. At that point, PI slides with only limited success into an exploration of metaphysics and spirituality. Nevertheless, I prefer movies that take risks like this, even when they're flawed, to those that try for a safe, formula-driven resolution. So, while I didn't necessarily buy everything that transpired in the final fifteen minutes, I was surprised by much of it, and Aronofsky never lost my attention. For anyone who wants a movie to feed their intelligence and imagination more than their eyes and ears, PI is a solid choice. It probably deserves 3.1416 stars, but since my scale doesn't support that, I'll round it off to three.

Shader Resource
Overview
Spark provides many powerful capabilities for the creation of Visually Rich applications - with animations, image masking, clipping and other technologies. The addition the Shader Resource provides near limitless visual effects capabilities - allowing OpenGL shader (programable pipeline) power to be leveraged in Spark applications.
The Shader Resource will allow application developers to harness GPU performance to provide "next-level" visuals.
Shader Resource
Spark now supports OpenGL Shaders via the shaderResource. Shaders are written in GLSL - GL Shader language.
Creating the Shader Resource
The following example shows how to create a Shader Resource -
We pass the Shader Resource frag_src and vert_src which are GLSL either URL's to source code, or Data URL's.
Additionally, we declare uniforms that we will use.
In this case,
s_texture
an image bound tou_time
a floating-point time valueu_color
an RGBA color value value.
Using the Shader Resource
The Shader Resource will return a promise to indicate when it's ready. The promise will resolve when the shader code is downloaded and compiled successfullly by OpenGL.
In the case of an error, the promise will reject, and additional details will be available through loadStatus.glError
.
When it's ready, the Shader Resource is attached to the .effect
property of our Image object image
.
It can be attached to any Spark object:- object, rectangle, image
etc.
The configuration for our Shader Resource is assigned as a JSON object as shown above.
We configure uniform values here also.
Shader Configuration
3 methods of configuration are available.
- Direct Uniform Configuration
- Configuration Object - SINGLE
- Configuration Objects - ARRAY
Direct Uniform Configuration
Using the uniform variable name directly on the Shader Resource object.
NOTE: Direct assignment uniforms should be considered volatile.
For example:-
Configuration Object - SINGLE
For a Single shader pass - use a SINGLE JSON configuration object with the 'shader'
Shader Resource object and 'uniforms'
to the Spark object via .effect
.
For example:-
Configuration Objects - ARRAY
For Multiple shader passes - use an ARRAY of JSON configuration objects with the 'shader'
Shader Resource object and 'uniforms'
to the Spark object via .effect
.
For example:-
Inline Source Code
Using Data URL's - the shader source code can be embedded in the Javascript source - and remove the need for extra files / downloads.
NOTE: The use of back ticks >> ` code `
<< in JS code to capture source code as a string.
There is quite a bit going on above.
The code creates a Javascript string as a Data URL capturing fragment shader code which blends source pixels with a color assigned by the uniform u_color
Internal Variables
NOTE: The following GLSL variables are provided by Spark - their names are reserved and should be avoided.
The texture of the Spark object upon which the shader is applied.u_texture
u_resolution
u_time
The resolution / dimensions of the object upon which the shader is applied.
A monotonic increasing, floating-point clock value.
Flattened Composition - u_texture
The Shader Resource will provide a texture of flattened/compositied of the Object and its Children to which shader is applied.
In this case the blue background rounded rectangle
or image
, text and logo image
are rendered to a texture bound to u_texture
.
This texture is accessed in Shader code via u_texture
and may be used in fragment operations.
The resulting texture u_texture
can use in fragment sampling operations.
Capability
The following code shows how to test the supported capability of Shader Resource in Spark releases.
Versions
The following code shows how to check the version of Shader Resource in Spark releases.

Tkachuk scores tying, winning goals, Flames top Predators
by The Associated PressNASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Matthew Tkachuk tied the game in the final minute of regulation and scored the winning goal with just over a second left in overtime on a nifty shot between his legs, leading the Calgary Flames to a 6-5 win over the Nashville Predators on Thursday night.
Calgary rallied from a three-goal deficit and ended Nashville’s four-game winning streak.
On the winner, Tkachuk skated in front of the net against two Nashville defenders, let the puck slip between his legs and flipped a shot that beat Predators goalie Pekka Rinne high to the stick side with 1.4 seconds left in overtime.
Derek Ryan, Rasmus Andersson, Elias Lindholm and Alan Quine also scored for the Flames. Calgary’s David Rittich made 31 saves.
Austin Watson scored twice, Calle Jarnrkok added two short-handed goals, and Nick Bonino scored for Nashville. Rinne made 21 saves.
CANADIENS 5, GOLDEN KNIGHTS 4
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Max Domi scored 27 seconds into overtime and Montreal beat Vegas.
Montreal’s Brendan Gallagher scored his seventh of the season during a 6-on-5 sequence with 1:58 left in regulation, taking a perfect feed from the corner and beating Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury between the pads to tie the game at 4-all.
Domi then scored his fourth goal of the season when the puck trickled through the pads of Fleury for the winning goal.
Phillip Danault, Jonathan Drouin and Tomas Tatar also scored for Montreal.
Goaltender Keith Kincaid made 31 saves for Montreal.
William Karlsson, Alex Tuch, Cody Glass and Mark Stone scored for Vegas. Fleury made 25 saves.

This Legal (check local laws) herb can be refined to several times normal strenght fairly easily, very neccesary for a noticable hallucinogenic effect. On a cool fall night, following a two week long extraction yielding 15 times strength salvia, I packed .2 grams into a waterpipe (with no water). I had read that salvia only vaporizes under direct heat, so I kept the lighter lit for the entire hit. I took two hits of .2 grams of salvia one after another, holding each hit in for a count of 20 seconds.
Approx. 1 minute after the second hit I began to disassociate from my surroundings. My room became a cavern and the silence was deafaning. My mind was reeling at an incredible speed, unable to make any comprehensible thoughts or feelings and I felt as if I were running as fast as I could, but still standing still, that is, my heart was thumping and i broke a sweat. I soon came back to earth and experienced a state of mind similar to that brought on by antidepressants. The clock showed about 10 minutes had passed. I stayed in this neutral state of mind for about 20 more minutes, and felt no effects whatsoever afterwards.
In Retrospect, the 15x NON standardized extract was very intense and I would recommend smaller doses for those not accustomed to tripping. But the good news is, the simple acetone extraction works wonders, and is very inexpensive for the enterprising individual. Good luck and START WITH SMALL DOSES.

Republic of Ireland fans think Aston Villa’s Conor Hourihane shouldn’t have been subbed off
Conor Hourihane takes the set-pieces.
by Jay WilliamsConor Hourihane played 68 minutes as the Republic of Ireland fell narrowly short of qualification.
The Republic of Ireland hosted Denmark at The Aviva Stadium in a must-win game for the home side. Denmark just needed a draw to progress and they managed to sneak through.
Martin Braithwaite’s 73rd-minute goal put Denmark into a commanding position with the hosts needing to score twice in 17 minutes. Matt Doherty did bring the Republic of Ireland level on 85 minutes but it was too little too late at that point.
Hourihane hauled off
Hourihane was named in the starting line-up, operating in a central midfield position. However, with the Boys in Green still chasing a goal, Mick McCarthy decided Hourihane was the man to take off.
This decision did not go down too well among some Republic of Ireland fans. Hourihane is renowned for his set-piece delivery. Many fans felt that the 28-year-old would have offered more than Jeff Hendrick, Glenn Whelan and James McClean towards the end of the game.
Here are some tweets about McCarthy’s decision to take Hourihane off.

The Modular toolkit for Data Processing (MDP) package is a library of widely used data processing algorithms, and the possibility to combine them together to form pipelines for building more complex data processing software.
MDP has been designed to be used as-is and as a framework for scientific data processing development.
From the user's perspective, MDP consists of a collection of units, which process data. For example, these include algorithms for supervised and unsupervised learning, principal and independent components analysis and classification.
These units can be chained into data processing flows, to create pipelines as well as more complex feed-forward network architectures. Given a set of input data, MDP takes care of training and executing all nodes in the network in the correct order and passing intermediate data between the nodes. This allows the user to specify complex algorithms as a series of simpler data processing steps.
The number of available algorithms is steadily increasing and includes signal processing methods (Principal Component Analysis, Independent Component Analysis, Slow Feature Analysis), manifold learning methods ([Hessian] Locally Linear Embedding), several classifiers, probabilistic methods (Factor Analysis, RBM), data pre-processing methods, and many others.
Particular care has been taken to make computations efficient in terms of speed and memory. To reduce the memory footprint, it is possible to perform learning using batches of data. For large data-sets, it is also possible to specify that MDP should use single precision floating point numbers rather than double precision ones. Finally, calculations can be parallelised using the parallel subpackage, which offers a parallel implementation of the basic nodes and flows.
From the developer's perspective, MDP is a framework that makes the implementation of new supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms easy and straightforward. The basic class, Node, takes care of tedious tasks like numerical type and dimensionality checking, leaving the developer free to concentrate on the implementation of the learning and execution phases. Because of the common interface, the node then automatically integrates with the rest of the library and can be used in a network together with other nodes.
A node can have multiple training phases and even an undetermined number of phases. Multiple training phases mean that the training data is presented multiple times to the same node. This allows the implementation of algorithms that need to collect some statistics on the whole input before proceeding with the actual training, and others that need to iterate over a training phase until a convergence criterion is satisfied. It is possible to train each phase using chunks of input data if the chunks are given as an iterable. Moreover, crash recovery can be optionally enabled, which will save the state of the flow in case of a failure for later inspection.
MDP is distributed under the open source BSD license. It has been written in the context of theoretical research in neuroscience, but it has been designed to be helpful in any context where trainable data processing algorithms are used. Its simplicity on the user's side, the variety of readily available algorithms, and the reusability of the implemented nodes also make it a useful educational tool.

CheckpointFlow Subclass of Flow class that allows user-supplied checkpoint functions to be executed at the end of each phase, for example to save the internal structures of a node for later analysis. |
|||
|
CheckpointFunction Base class for checkpoint functions. |
|||
|
CheckpointSaveFunction This checkpoint function saves the node in pickle format. The pickle dump can be done either before the training phase is finished or right after that. In this way, it is for example possible to reload it in successive sessions and continue the training. |
|||
|
CircularOnlineFlow A 'CircularOnlineFlow' is a cyclic sequence of online/non-trainable nodes that are trained and executed together to form a more complex algorithm. This type of flow is useful when one needs to train the nodes internally for several iterations using stored inputs before training with the next external input. |

A VariadicCumulator is a Node whose training phase simply collects all input data. In this way it is possible to easily implement batch-mode learning. The data is accessible in the attributes given with the VariadicCumulator's
constructor after the beginning of the Node._stop_training phase.
|
|
Activate all the extensions for the given names. extension_names -- Sequence of extension names. |
|
Deactivate all the extensions for the given names. extension_names -- Sequence of extension names. |
Returns a decorator to register a function as an extension method. Note that it is possible to directly call other extension functions, call extension methods in other node classes or to use super in the normal way (the function will be called as a method of the node class).
|
Returns a decorator to register a setup function for an extension. The decorated function will be called when the extension is activated. Note that there is also the extension_teardown decorator, which should probably defined as well if there is a setup procedure.
|
Returns a decorator to register a teardown function for an extension. The decorated function will be called when the extension is deactivated.
|
Perform Independent Component Analysis on input data using the FastICA algorithm by Aapo Hyvarinen. Observations of the same variable are stored on rows, different variables are stored on columns. This is a shortcut function for the corresponding node nodes.FastICANode. If any keyword arguments are specified, they are passed to its constructor. This is equivalent to mdp.nodes.FastICANode(**kwargs)(x) |
Return a dictionary currently registered extensions. Note that this is not a copy, so if you change anything in this dict the whole extension mechanism will be affected. If you just want the names of the available extensions use get_extensions().keys(). |
Filters multidimensional input data through its principal components. Observations of the same variable are stored on rows, different variables are stored on columns. This is a shortcut function for the corresponding node nodes.PCANode. If any keyword arguments are specified, they are passed to its constructor. This is equivalent to mdp.nodes.PCANode(**kwargs)(x) |
Return a wrapper function to activate and deactivate the extension. This function is intended to be used with the decorator syntax. The deactivation happens only if the extension was activated by the decorator (not if it was already active before). So this decorator ensures that the extensions is active and prevents unintended side effects. If the generated function is a generator, the extension will be in
effect only when the generator object is created (that is when the
function is called, but its body is not actually immediately
executed). When the function body is executed (after |

Ramaphosa declares special provincial funeral for Xolani Gwala
by Sesona NgqakambaVeteran radio personality Xolani Gwala will receive a special provincial official category two funeral, the Presidency said on Friday.
Gwala will be laid to rest at Impendle in KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday.
The 44-year-old died in the early hours of last Friday morning, following a lengthy battle with colon cancer, Channel24 reported.
President Cyril Ramaphosa declared the official funeral and instructed that the national flag be flown at half-mast in KwaZulu-Natal on Friday evening.
READ:The world is indeed a lesser place without him - Sanef mourns veteran journalist Xolani Gwala
"We have lost a youthful veteran in an important sector in our country. As a professional who qualified in the mid-1990s, Xolani Gwala carried with him the values of our transition to democracy – the values of listening and being open to views that conflict with or offend your own, and a focus on solution," Ramaphosa said.
The Presidency announced that Gwala's special provincial funeral would also involve ceremonial elements by the South African Police Service.
The Radio 702 talk show host was remembered in multiple memorial services this week that were attended by veteran journalists, peers, politicians and listeners of the radio station.
Among those who spoke of Gwala's humility and calm nature was Communications Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams, Gauteng Education MEC Panyaza Lesufi, Gwala’s close friend and fellow broadcaster Robert Marawa, and his close confidante advocate Muzi Sikhakhane.

--- layout: archive title: Zulip Chat Archive permalink: /stream/113489-new-members/topic/Local.2Fcity.20threads.html ---
It seems useful to have threads supporting in-person interactions for specific localities or cities. E.g. I'd like to create a thread for Montréal. Where should such threads exist?
An idea is to have a new stream, perhaps named 'local', under which they would exist
I think that in principal you could even create a new stream "Montéal Lean User Group". I think there are such streams for IC London, and for ALU Canberra.
Those streams are private, I think, so they serve a different purpose.
I'm not sure we have the userbase to justify threads for lots of cities, but on the other hand, there's not much cost to a new stream.
There is a private Imperial stream, and it's for Imperial students who basically might be too scared to ask their simple questions on the "real" chat; there are also local conversations which go on there such as when Xena starts/stops etc.
There is a private Imperial stream, and it's for Imperial students who basically might be too scared to ask their simple questions on the "real" chat; there are also local conversations which go on there such as when Xena starts/stops etc.
There's a similar one for Cambridge as well
As a general rule, streams are the mechanism for people to select what messages they want to see. You can be subscribed or not to each stream, but you can't really be subscribed or not to a topic (there is topic muting which is sort of similar, but doesn't make sense for a case like this). So one stream per city is logical.
It seems useful to have threads supporting in-person interactions for specific localities or cities. E.g. I'd like to create a thread for Montréal. Where should such threads exist?
Hey, I'm in Montreal too, and fairly new to Lean! I'd love to have in-person interactions
I’m in NYC and would also love to meet up with Lean enthusiasts
I made a stream called "Geographic locality" with the following mechanism in mind:
anyone can visit and see if there is a topic about their city. If so, that topic has pointers to other people in their city / a private stream / a regular meetup. If not, they could make a topic about their city and hope that this eventually leads to someone else poking them
That also sounds like a good place for threads about (the physical logistics of) conferences

I like the layout of this page and would like the same layout for my own.
http://www.csszengarden.com/191/
I like how the text and the images are placed.

I realy like the texture and colour of this website.
Can you think of an analogy to describe HTML, CSS and the DOM? How would
you describe it to your non-technical friend?
Yes i can, and this analogy comes in two parts. So, part one is html, css
and the dom is basically another language just like English. Part two is,
you know the phrase a picture paints a thousand words? well this is painting
a thousand words in order to write a picture... also the words aren't in
English, there in html.
What is meant by boxifying design?
Well everything on the web is a box, if you have a circle the bottom line is
its a picture of a circle in a box. boxing a design is splitting up the
design into all the boxes that make up the design... i think, that is my take
on it anyway. :D
What is the box model?
The "box modle" is a css term refering to the fact that the internet is made up
of boxes within boxes within boxes.

auto-complete, etc.)
http://dist.springsource.org/snapshot/GRECLIPSE/e4.6
MDW Cloud Foundry Cookbook – Running in the Cloud
1. Clone the Demo Project from Git
A quick way to get familiar with
the layout of an mdw6 workflow cloud project is to start with the mdw-demo
project. This project is available from
our GitLab instance in the CenturyLink Labs cloud. You can clone this easily using Eclipse as
described below. If you prefer to use
command line Git, clone the repository from https://<IP_ADDRESS>/mdw/mdw-demo.git using credentials mdw/ldap_0123.
Note: Some screenshots refer to
mdwdemo, but in mdw6 the name for this project and repository is mdw-demo (with
a hyphen).
Disable Git
SSL Verification in Eclipse:
·
Our SSL
certificate is self-signed and is not trusted by the Git client. Therefore, the first step is to disable (at
least temporarily) SSL verification.
From the Eclipse menu, select Window > Preferences > Team > Git
> Configuration > Add Entry…
·
Create an
entry like this:
Clone the mdw-demo Project into Your
Workspace:
·
Access the
Git Repositories view by selecting Window > Show View > Other > Git
> Git Repositories:
·
Copy the
repository URL into your clipboard: https://<IP_ADDRESS>/mdw/mdw-demo.git
·
Right-click
in Git Repositories view and select Paste Repository Path or URI.
·
Enter mdw for the User and ldap_0123 for the Password:
·
Click Next
and make sure the master branch is
selected:
·
Click Next
again. Point to your workspace/mdw-demo
for the Destination Directory. Check
"Import all existing Eclipse projects after clone finishes". Then click Finish.
MDW Designer
Perspective:
·
To best view
mdw-demo's workflow assets, switch to Designer Perspective (Window >
Perspective > Open Perspective > Other > MDW Designer).
·
In Process
Explorer view expand the mdw-demo project to see the included workflow
packages. These contain the assets that
you'll deploy to Cloud Foundry in the following steps.
MDW Cloud Foundry Cookbook – Running in the Cloud
2. Build and
Deploy to Cloud Foundry
Build mdw-demo:
·
Switch to
Java perspective in Eclipse so that the pom.xml Maven build file is visible in
Package Explorer.
·
If you have
the Eclipse Groovy plug-in installed, edit pom.xml to set the groovy.jar so
that it points to the groovy-all jar file in your Eclipse installation. This is needed so the Cucumber test cases
that are executed during the build will not cause exceptions due to a Groovy
version mismatch.
·
Right-click
on the pom.xml file and select Run As > Maven Build. Enter "package" for the Goal. Also on the JRE tab make sure a Java 8
runtime is selected as a minimum.
Getting a
Cloud Foundry Space:
·
TODO: Describe
the steps for getting set up with a Cloud Foundry space in the CenturyLink IT
PCF dev environment.
·
Ensure
Permissions:
·
Edit mdw-demo/config/seed_users.json
to add yourself with permissions similar to the other users in the file. Note: The default configuration uses an
embedded MariaDB database for runtime persistence. For non-dev environments, longer term
persistence is required, and this can be accomplished using an external MariaDB
or MySQL database configured in your manifest.yml descriptor.
Install Cloud
Foundry CLI:
·
This
tutorial uses the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface:
§
https://cli.run.pivotal.io/stable?release=windows64&source=github
Cloud
Foundry Development Tools in Eclipse:
·
Eclipse Neon
comes with built-in Cloud Foundry support:
§
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ecd.cft
Perform a
"cf push" to deploy mdw-demo:
·
Note: The following examples use the MDW demo
deployment in CenturyLink's AppFog cloud environment. See the Cloud
Foundry Dev Guide, or type
"cf help" for details about the available commands.
·
A Cloud
Foundry deployment is configured primarily through a manifest.yml file in the
project root directory. Take a look at
the manifest.yml in mdw-demo, and note that it stipulates the MDW buildpack
through its Git repository URL. The
settings you'll likely need to configure in this file are as follows:
§ MDW_VERSION - Whichever version of the MDW
framework you're using (must be available as a buildpack).
§ mdw.database.url - Only if you're using an
external database rather than embedded.
§ mdw.hub.url - This is the user-access app
endpoint URL as reported after a successful push.
§ mdw.services.url - The services
endpoint. In development this is the
same as mdw.hub.url.
·
After you've
installed the Cloud Foundry CLI, open a command-line window in the mdw-demo
root directory. Use the "cf
login" command, then enter your credentials to log in to your cloud space:
cf login -a
https://api.useast.appfog.ctl.io -o MDWF
(The -a parameter designates the
API endpoint, and the -o parameter is the organization -- type "cf login
-h" for details).
·
Now, to deploy the mdw-demo app simply type cf
push:
cf push
·
In another
command-line session, you can tail the application logs by typing:
cf logs mdw-demo
·
Once the
push is complete, verify successful deployment by accessing MDWHub in your
browser with a URL something like this:
https://mdw-demo.useast.appfog.ctl.io/mdw
Make a
Change and Push Again:
·
In Eclipse
switch to MDW Designer perspective and expand the MyServices package. Open the Employees.java Dynamic Java asset
and edit the get() method of this REST service to expect your ID and return
your employee information:
@Override @Path("/{id}") @ApiOperation(value="Retrieve an employee by their ID", notes="Currently only
retrieves a single employee, and only dxoakes.", response=Employee.class) public JSONObject get(String path, Map<String,String> headers) throws ServiceException, JSONException { String id = getSegment(path, 2); if ("dxoakes".equals(id)) { UserVO emp = new UserVO(id); emp.setName("Donald Oakes"); emp.setAttribute("Email", "donald.oakes@centurylink.com"); emp.setAttribute("Phone", "303 992 9747"); return emp.getJson(); } else { return null; } }
Note: This example service comes from the MDW Services
Cookbook.
·
Save the
file, incrementing its version, and type the "cf push" command again.
·
Once the
push has completed, access the service in your browser through a URL like the
following:
http://mdw-demo.useast.appfog.ctl.io/mdw/Services/MyServices/Employees/<your-cuid>
MDW Cloud
Foundry Cookbook – Running Locally
It can quickly become tedious to
build and push to Cloud Foundry every time you want to test a code change. To deploy mdw-demo locally, you can run on
Tomcat. With a Tomcat server running
locally, your changes can be hot-deployed so that pushes and server restarts
are not required.
Supported Tomcat
Containers:
·
Apache
Tomcat 7:
§
http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi
Create a
Tomcat Server:
·
To execute a
workflow process you need a server running with MDW deployed. For debugging in Eclipse the easiest way to
set this up is through a Web Tools Platform server instance. From the menu select File > New > Other
> Server > Server. Click Next and
select Apache > Tomcat 7.0 (MDW) from the options. To be able to debug your Dynamic Java it's
important that you select Tomcat 7.0 (MDW) instead of the
standard Tomcat 7.0 Server. The
server name is arbitrary, so you can make is something friendlier than the
default.
·
If you've
not previously used a Tomcat 7 runtime in Eclipse, clicking Next takes you to a
page where you specify your Tomcat location.
Make sure that the selected JRE is Java 1.7.
·
The final
page of the New Server wizard is where you designate your workflow project to
be deployed on the server. After that,
click Finish to create the server instance.
·
If the
Servers view is not visible in your current perspective, from the menu select
Window > Show View > Other > Server > Servers. You should see your Tomcat 7 server in this
view. You can double-click the server to
edit its configuration. Expand the
Timeouts section, change the start timeout value to 300 seconds, and hit Ctrl-S
to save your changes. Then close the
editor.
MDW Cloud
Foundry Cookbook – Running Locally
Run Tomcat:
·
Edit the
following properties in config/mdw.properties:
§
mdw.asset.location
- This is the directory path on your hard-drive where your assets are located.
§
mdw.git.local.path
- The root directory of your mdw-demo Git project.
§
mdw.hub.user
- You may have noticed the Java system property runtimeEnv in your server
config, which is preset to "dev".
This property allows you to bypass authentication locally.
·
Now that
you've created the WTP server instance, the Servers view gives you a handy way
to start and stop Tomcat. And output is
directed to the Eclipse Console view, where you can click on stack traces to
open associated source code (including MDW Framework code and Dynamic
Java). Start your server in debug mode
by right-clicking on it and selecting Debug (or use the icon in the Servers
view toolbar).
·
The first
time you start your server Tomcat explodes the mdw.war file in your
deploy/webapps directory and caches the deployable content. This can sometimes take a minute. With the server running you should see MDW
output in the Eclipse Console view.
Tip: When you upgrade to a new MDW build version
in Eclipse, Designer automatically downloads the corresponding mdw.war file
into your deploy/webapps directory. If
at any time you want to clean out the MDW deployment and start fresh, you can
delete mdw.war and the exploded mdw directory (and for a very thorough
cleansing you can even delete the Tomcat cache under
deploy/work/Catalina/localhost/mdw).
Then you can deploy from scratch from Package Explorer view by
right-clicking on your workflow project and selecting MDW Update > Update Framework
Libraries.
·
You can
confirm that MDW was successfully deployed by accessing MDWHub in your browser:
Make and
Test a Change:
·
Make another
change to the Employees service. After
saving the asset in Designer, you should be able to access the service right
away and see your changes at:
http://localhost:8080/mdw/Services/MyServices/Employees/<your-cuid>
·
Once you've
implemented and tested a feature, you can deploy to the cloud using "cf
push".

Press release
Schools Minister David Laws confirms £2.545 billion total pupil premium funding for 2015 to 2016.
Disadvantaged primary school pupils will benefit from an extra £22.5 million to help them close the gap on their peers, Schools Minister David Laws announced today (11 November 2014).
The increased pupil premium funding for primary schools for 2015 to 2016 will provide additional resources for teachers to support the most disadvantaged pupils from the very start of school and stop them falling behind.
Evidence shows that raising the attainment of pupils by the end of primary school has a direct impact on how well they go on to perform in their GCSEs , setting them on the path to a more successful future. Primary schools will now receive £1,320 for every pupil who has been registered for free school meals at any time in the last 6 years (known as ‘Ever 6 FSM ’ pupils).
There has already been significant progress towards closing the attainment gap. The percentage of disadvantaged pupils meeting the expected level in both reading and maths at the end of primary has risen from 62.2% in 2011 to 69.3% in 2013, and the gap between disadvantaged pupils and others has narrowed from 18.5 percentage points in 2011 to 14.8 percentage points in 2013.
The government has protected this funding as part of an ongoing commitment to providing teachers with the resources they need to continue to raise the attainment of all disadvantaged pupils, building a stronger economy and a fairer society.
Schools Minister David Laws said:
Every child should be able to reach their full potential, whatever their background. The pupil premium is building a fairer society with opportunity for everyone.
We know schools are using their pupil premium funding more effectively than ever to raise the performance of those children who need extra help.
We have already made significant progress towards closing the gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers. This additional funding will ensure teachers continue to have the resources they need to give all pupils the best possible start at school, regardless of their background.
David Laws confirmed the total available pupil premium funding will be protected in real terms, giving a total of £2.545 billion in 2015 to 2016. All secondary schools will continue to receive £935 for ‘Ever 6 FSM ’ pupils, and all schools will continue to receive £1,900 for those who are looked after or have left care through adoption or other circumstances.
The government has taken significant steps to provide support at an earlier stage for disadvantaged pupils, to ensure all young children are able to fulfil their potential in life. Last month it was announced that schools, nurseries and childminders are to receive £300 for every 3- and 4-year-old from a low-income family under the new early years pupil premium, so these children start school on an equal footing to their peers.
As part of a wider government commitment to raising the attainment of all pupils, David Laws today also announced that the literacy and numeracy catch-up premium for year 7 pupils will be continued in 2015 to 2016. The premium, for pupils from all backgrounds who do not reach the expected level 4 in reading or mathematics at key stage 2, enables schools to provide additional support to help them catch up with their classmates. Schools receive £500 per eligible pupil, totalling £53.8 million in 2013 to 2014.
Actual 2015 to 2016 pupil premium allocations will be announced in June 2015.
The pupil premium has increased in each year of this parliament, and will now surpass the £2.5 billion originally set out at the formation of the coalition government. Read more about the pupil premium .
The government is providing a literacy and numeracy catch-up premium for year 7 pupils who have failed to reach level 4 in reading and/or mathematics - the 2 most important skills for life. Allocations for the 2014 to 2015 year 7 literacy and numeracy catch-up premium will be made in early 2015, based on the number of eligible pupils listed in autumn 2014 census returns and the 2014 key stage 2 assessments. Schools will receive an additional premium of £500 for each year 7 pupil who has not achieved at least level 4 in reading and/or mathematics (maximum £500 per pupil) at key stage 2. We expect to make 2015 to 2016 allocations in early 2016, on the same basis.
More information about the year 7 literacy and numeracy catch-up premium is available.

I loved this stuff when it came out in both the regular old S and the SW varieties. It completely replaced Kodachrome 64 for my personal use, as well as replaced regular Ektachrome Pro (EPP) and a bunch of different constantly changing Fuji stuff for my commissioned work. The new Ektachrome G films are similar and just as good, maybe even "better".
Ektachrome 100S was by no means a loud film like Fuji Velvia (never took a liking to that stuff myself but shot it when requested). You could use it on people,Â you could use it on anything. Here it is in the 35mm regular old S variety. Check out how smooth the grain is at 4000 DPI. Amazing. That is why my eyes roll into the back of my head when listening to endless debates aobut "noise" at ISO 800, 1600, and beyond. Are you kidding me? Again no sharpening, a little unsharp mask and the detail even from these hand held casual shots is blistering. Post adjustments were to black point only to get the flim base to true black.
This chrome was shot with a Nikon F2AS and a so-so 35mm f2.0 lens around f8. Hyperfocalish focus point somewhere behind the flowers in the foreground. I hated that lens compared to my Leica 35mm Summicron but I was shooting some telephoto shots as well and didn't want to carry around two kits. I guess there are worse lenses on the planet, like the abyssmal Nikon 24-50. Don't get me wrong they are fine for 6x9 prints, actualy flawless except for distortion but dogs at larger than 11x14. Checkout the chromatic abberation in the shot of the dome against the sky. I never noticed this with a 10x loupe.

Basic LISP parser
We use library items, so we get " strings, float, int, and hex
atoms, as well as lists. Note: Lisp doesn't seem to
use "," for seperating atoms in lists? I don't really
remember it well enough to recall, but seems to match the
samples I see.
Note: Original grammar was from a sample in the YAPPS
documentation. Though it's kinda hard to recognise here.

Tickers are a string shortcode representation for an asset. Some examples of popular tickers include "AAPL" for Apple Corporation or "IBM" for International Business Machines Corporation. These tickers often change when the company rebrands, or if they merge with another security.
The ticker for an asset is not the same as the Symbol. Symbol objects are permanent and track the underlying entity. When a company rebrands or changes its name, the QuantConnect Symbol object remains constant, giving algorithms a way to track assets over time reliably.
Tickers are also often reused by different brokerages. For example Coinbase, a leading US Crypto Brokerage lists "BTCUSD" ticker for trading. Its competitor Bitfinex also lists "BTCUSD," and both are tradable in QuantConnect. Symbols allow us to identify which market-maker you are referencing.

Our adventurer is working his way through the dark tomb of King Nohatsuput, but he is not worried about the Curse, nor the many Death Traps, nor Nohatsuput's Mummy rising again to strangle him. Nope, no worries at all because he bought a special talisman from the local villagers. But wait...the bones of many previous adventurers all lie along this path...all with the same familiar talisman...
This trope describes the instance when a character (or perhaps just the audience) realises this is a dangerous area, because many other people in the same circumstances have left evidence of their demise. To continue might be considered Schmuck Bait but we've got a story to tell.
In several instances, this trope becomes a Deus ex Machina that helps the main character or hero get out of the incoming peril in some way. This can be simply the warning that the area is dangerous, but sometimes the hero may find useful items left by the victims.
Examples:
- In the Scrooge McDuck story The Treasure of the Ten Avatars, Scrooge and Donald are exploring an ancient Indian city to finds the treasure stored away in the lower levels. Several thousand years ago Alexander's Greek Hoplites tried the same thing but failed to get past all the traps. The Ducks keep finding evidence of the soldiers' unfortunate deaths: armor left behind because whoever was carrying it was eaten, armour with holes pierced through them, armour squished like a pancake, etc.
- In the film Atlantis: The Lost Empire, the explorers come across a field of sunken ships ranging from Greek triremes to more modern iron ships shortly before being attacked by the Leviathan.
- The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, when Spongebob and Patrick go to buy ice cream from an old lady in a stand, right in the middle of piles of bones all around it. Ignoring the danger, Spongebob wades through the bones. Patrick looks at the bones, then looks at Spongebob, and cries out "SPONGEBOB!". Spongebob turns around, and Patrick says "...Make mine chocolate."
- Shrek, when Shrek and Donkey find Fiona's castle, there are a few humorous instances where we see the remains of previous would-be rescuers littered around the deserted halls.
Princess Fiona: You didn't slay the dragon?!
Shrek: It's on my "to do" list. Now come on!
Princess Fiona: But this isn't right! You're meant to charge in, sword drawn, banner flying — that's what all the other knights did!
[cut to skeletal remnants of a would-be knight]
Shrek: Yeah, right before they burst into flame! - Finding Nemo: On the journey to Sidney, Dory and Marlin come across a trench that they can either go through or swim over. Dory is eager to take the direct route, but just out of their sight there's a fish carcass lying at the entrance.
- As soon as Miguel and Tulio from The Road to El Dorado make landfall somewhere on the Yucatan Peninsula, they discover on the sandy beach two skeletons, each with glaring evidence of a violent demise. One has a sword through his rib cage that surely would have punctured the pericardial sac. The other has an axe-like implement embedded in his skull.
- In Return of the Jedi, Luke Skywalker gets thrown into the Rancor pit. He is only able to escape its clutches by wedging the femur of a previous victim in the beast's jaws, and after running towards the emergency escape door, he uses the skull of yet another previous victim to activate the great door, which closes on the monster's neck, killing it.
- King Kong (2005), upon being taken by King Kong back to his cave, Ann Darrow notices many human skeletons on the ground with the same ritual necklace she had put on her when the natives offered her as a sacrifice to the great ape. GASP. Things don't look good, Ann.
- Jurassic Park: When Ellie Sattler is being tracked by one of the raptors, she feels the reassuring arm of Mr Arnold (Samuel L. Jackson's character) touch her on the shoulder. Unfortunately, that's all there is left of him.
- Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
- King Arthur and his men have a tough time believing that the diminutive Killer Rabbit they face is dangerous, in spite of all the bones they see littered about the front of his cave. It's not until one of their number gets decapitated by said rabbit that they start to take it seriously.
- Another scene from that movie features Brave Sir Robin heading down a road which had three signs marked "Certain Death" pointing in the direction he was travelling, several slaughtered knights skewered on the same lance and stuck into a tree, all leading up to the easily avoidable encounter with the three-headed giant, described in the Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film as "the fiercest creature for yards around!"
- In The Mummy Returns, when Imhotep and his followers arrive at the Scorpion King's oasis, they come across the corpses of soldiers ranging from Roman Legionaries to Napoleon's own troops. Naturally, because Imhotep's followers are an army of Red Shirt Mooks, they continue on anyways to their horrible demise.
- In Clash of the Titans, Perseus and his companions arrive on the island where Medusa has her lair, with numerous petrified victims littering the grounds. One companion scoffs and claims they could just be statues.
- In the opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana and Satipo run across several desiccated corpses inside the ancient shrine. Most memorable of all, Indy's old rival, Forrestal.
- In The Goonies, the characters run across the long-dead body of treasure hunter Chester Copperpot in their search for One-Eyed Willy's ship. Some of them want to turn back, but Mikey convinces them that this is a good sign, because it means that they're on the right track, and they have already got farther than a professional treasure hunter.
- Parodied in the opening of Scary Movie when a character is faced with an actual road sign clearly marked 'Death', and still follows it.
- The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring makes it clear to the audience (and most of the characters) that something very bad has happened in Moria with skeletons sprawled on the floor everywhere not far from the entrance. Gimli, however, remains steadfast in his denial until confronted with an actual written account of the bloodbath.
- Discworld: Played in Teppic's encounter with the Sphinx in Pyramids. He sees that many people have died nearby, and assumes that the later ones saw the remains of the earlier ones, and tried stealth, and that didn't work. So he doesn't bother being stealthy.
- In Treasure Island, Jim and the gang are trying to find the hidden treasure of the infamous Captain Flint. One clue that they found was a skeleton —implied to have been killed by Flint— pointing to the direction of the treasure.
- Dave Barry once mentions a tour guide suggesting pepper spray and wearing bells to avoid bear attacks. Then he goes on to say that bear poop can be identified by the strong smell of pepper and the little bells caught inside.
- In the science fiction short novel Rogue Moon a special kind of transporter is used to make two copies of a person which are briefly telepathic; one copy is sent through an alien death trap while the other copy can see & hear what the other is seeing so they can learn the safe way through the maze. When we see the final run through the maze we are also shown hundreds of copies of the same man lying about having been killed in various ways.
- In The Mark of Athena, in order to pass the cult of Mithras, a child of Athena must pass the test of the knife or the flame. Annabeth encounters the bodies of children of Athena killed by these tests and realizes that she has little to no chance of surviving either, so figures out a different way around the test.
- Somewhat parodied in the Red Dwarf episode "Psirens". The crew pilot Starbug into a graveyard of ships that have all been crashed or disabled by the titular illusion generating creatures. Sending a scout droid to investigate one of the ships they see (but we don't) the body of a man who had been disemboweled and used his last moments to write "PSIRENS." using a combination of blood and his own intestines. The Cat comments on how impressive it is that the man even used his kidney as a full stop but the other postulate that he probably didn't mean to and it just flopped out there coincidentally.
- In the Xena: Warrior Princess episode "A Fistful of Dinars" they have to pass through a "hall of silence" — a cave filled with dead bodies:
Petracles: Did the map mention how those guys died?
Xena: [whispers] They made too much noise. [yells] RUN!
- Dungeons & Dragons:
- Module U1 The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. One room has the corpse of an alchemist sitting in a chair.
- Module S4 The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth. A fungal cavern has the corpse of an elf that was trapped by Green Slime.
- The cave setting of The Eighth Voyage of Sindbad is filled with the skeletons of those who dealt with Miseria before, something Sindbad and Kabob both take notice of.
- In Poseidon's Fury, while in the secret chamber, Taylor tells the audience not to touch anything, as the skeletons lying around seem to imply that there may be booby traps.
- The queue line for Dueling Dragons at Universal's Islands of Adventure was filled with the skeletons of the people who had attempted to slay the dragons, serving as a warning for all those attempting to enter the lair of the dragons.
- There's many skeletons lying around in the ancient tomb in the Indiana Jones sequence on The Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios, but they are ignored by the person hijacking the ride vehicle.
- In Half Life 1, most instances of danger are introduced with Innocent Bystanders being killed before your very eyes. In the Xen levels, this job is performed by HEV suit-clad corpses.
- The Temple of the Ocean King, the central dungeon of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, has many skeletons of previous adventurers scattered through its halls. In an interesting variation, all of them still retain their spirits, who will give you clues to help succeed where they failed.
- Then there's the Shadow Temple from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time...
- The ruins of La-Mulana are filled with skeletons of previous adventurers. Some are clustered around traps; others hold various messages.
- Used to the logical extreme in Demon's Souls. The player can see the bloodstains of fallen heroes (other players online at the same time), including watching their final moments, and read the messages and warnings left behind by them.
- Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City uses this while the Player Party is helping track an adversary through an area filled with FOEs. At one point, they discover the body of a guard whose armor has been completely shredded, hinting that they're on the right path to reach the next floor. Examining the body after this reveals an item which can be used to convince his commander you're not lying about his death.
- In Super Metroid, you find the corpse of another bounty hunter just before battling Kraid. The corpse still appears to be intact, and bugs are swarming all over it.
- NieR: Automata features a similar system to Demon's Souls, allowing players to see where other players have fallen and collect a small amount of loot from the bodies.
- Sequential Art: At one point Kat and Vanity are below a mansion. Kat follows Vanity who insists there's an opening nearby and keeps marching as if possessed. Kat manages to pan her flashlight to her left just long enough to notice a decent collection of skulls.
