The first two maps are height is expressed as the number of male or female managers in all areas of work in the region, the color is expressed as the proportion of male or female positions in the region as managers, the first map red indicates 90%-80% Between (nearly 90% of the region), between 70% and 60% in black, and between 60% and 40% in purple.The second map blue indicates 70%-60%, purple indicates 50%-40%, and green indicates 30%-20%.
This picture shows the proportion of men in the total number of managers in the total, red is the larger area, we can see that there are a lot of red areas near Sydney, it can also indicate that there are more employment opportunities in Sydney. Men are vying to get to the manager's position. From the data, in some areas, the number of male managers is 5% more than that of female managers, which leads to a large number of male managers in Sydney. This also shows that There are more engineering and technical jobs in these areas, which are very suitable for men.
The second map shows the proportion of women in the total number of managers in the total, blue is the largest percentage, but in the same area, some women are on average about 10% lower in all areas of work, but some areas account for Compared with men, it also shows that women's ability to work is becoming stronger. It also shows that women are slowly becoming good at some other areas of work. In a small number of regions, women account for a total of positions in managers. More, it is possible that most of the area is in the fields of education, health, etc., so most women are managers.
The third map is a comparative map. The orange color is negative, the green color is positive, and the negative number means that the number of women in the region is more than the number of managers in the total number of people. The positive number represents the male in the area. In the total number of people, the number of managers is more than that of women. We can see from the figure that both of these situations account for about 50%. So we can also know that women’s ability to work is increasing, but most of this area In remote areas, in the coastal areas and near Sydney, most of them are still green, which means that there are more males than managers in all of them. But from now on, it is now basically equal work for men and women. Added some occupations that women are more suitable for. And now men and women have gained equality in the workplace.
In summary, the ratio of male to female positions in all areas of work is not very large in NSW. In some areas, the proportion of female positions as managers is more than that of men, so we can see that In several aspects, the first aspect of these areas, the main areas of work should be education, health and other areas of work, the second aspect of women's work ability is gradually becoming stronger, the third aspect is that men and women are basically in the workplace Equality
The Latte line divides the NSW state into the south and the north. We can see from the third picture that the situation of the managers in the south and north of men and women in all fields of work is basically the same, because there is almost the same green (positive number) : Men are more managers in all fields than women. Yellow (negative: women in all fields are managers more than men), but the map is closer and closer to the green areas in the north is still more dense Especially concentrated in the coastal areas, but the overall proportion is roughly the same, so that men and women are now basically equal in the workplace, and women's ability is increasing.


Hey!
Thank you for coming to visit Instant Attorney.
If you need legal assistance, consider these great free resources:
The user facing portion of Instant Attorney was in open beta from January 2020 to July 2020. Thank you to everyone who visited, gave feedback, and contributed legal resource listings to the site during that time. Our goal was to get users connected with the best free and low-cost legal help we could. This meant both building a legal referral platform, based on OpenReferral, and creating a scalable way to qualify users for legal aid services, the Eligibility Engine based on Docassemble*.
Throughout the open beta I realized I can’t improve and maintain both the referral platform and the programmatic qualification engine. Instant Attorney was unique in its ambition to have legal aid, flat-rate legal services, and legal products listed side-by-side on the site, and programmatic qualification was foundational to making this happen. I don’t see a path forward for Instant Attorney without programmatic qualification while still keeping true to its access to justice roots.
This has led me to focus on building the next generation of the Eligibility Engine. Decoupling it from the referral platform has opened up new possibilities that I am just now beginning to explore. The foundations of this new work will be available under the very permissive MIT open source license.
Thank you again,
Everett Pompeii
*The Eligibility Engine was built on Docassemble, an open source expert system for document assembly. I'd like to extend a special thank you to everyone in the Docassemble community for your help and guidance on the Eligibility Engine, especially creator and maintainer Jonathan Pyle as well as Quinten Steenhuis and Toby Grytafey.

There are two common causes for this error.
Firstly, it might simply mean that you do not have the Commons IO
jar in your classpath. FileUpload depends on IO (see
dependencies) - you can tell if
this is the case if the missing class is within the
org.apache.commons.io
package.
Secondly this happens when attempting to rely on a shared copy of
the Commons FileUpload jar file provided by your web container. The
solution is to include the FileUpload jar file as part of your own
web application, instead of relying on the container. The same may
hold for FileUpload's IO dependency.

--- layout: post title: Comments- May we love them, May we Use them, May we write them. date: 2020-05-27 18:04:42 -0700 description: Let me convince you why you want to write comments subtitle: Writting quality comments is a sign of a quality engineer background: '/assets/Images/posts/comments/heart_clip-03.jpg' categories: Technology ---
The debate about comments is one of the most intense debates for programmers. Even my husband and I have heated arguments as to how to comment the code we work on together. I’d argue that this debate is more intense than the tabs versus spaces one. But, as we all know, there is clearly a correct way to indent your code, there is also clearly a correct way of writing comments. It is much better to write more comments than less. Simply put, may we love, use, and write comments throughout our code.
Because this debate is so controversial, there is a good change that you have heard some very good reasons why not to comment your code (much). Allow me the opportunity to disarm these arguments against comments while presenting my arguments in favor of commenting.
//If you’re a TL;DR person, the last paragraph has the summary :kissing_heart:
I hear and read this statement so often, it makes me really wonder what percentage of people are actually writing “good code”. In my personal experience, only about 50% of code is “good code”, and maybe 20% of that is “self-documenting”. Unless it’s your code of course, which I am sure is “good code” at least 90% all of the time.
Now, being honest with yourself, did you CHOOSE to read that piece of code above? Or did you just skip down to this paragraph to get the explanation of the code? The above code says the same thing as the paragraph below,
A question I have is, who is capable of reading code faster than they can read sentences. Or who wants to read code instead of sentences. Even the best self-documenting code will be harder to read than a few phrases written out. We’ve been reading paragraphs long before we were reading code so naturally, we are faster sentence readers than code readers. As they say, time is money, so any time spent slowing a developer down from understanding the code is money lost.
Luckily, annotating code is pretty easy. With tools like `git blame` You know exactly the last author of that line of code, AND the last time the comment updated. It is rather easy, almost too easy, to see who made large changes to a function, and didn’t document the breaking changes in the comment. And that person can be fired or what not.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all know that guy who doesn’t need comments. Or at least claims he doesn’t need them. I understand that when you are in a code base that you know the insides and out, you are able to jump right in and work, picking up the code fast.
This is a major problem. Not because we all know how easy it actually is to forget code you have written and haven’t touched in a while… but because you don’t write comments for yourself. I’m going to say this again, for the people in the back. You add comments to code for others, not yourself. Comments are for the new hires who have no idea what the rest of the code base does, the people who doesn’t know where the puzzle pieces of code fit together in the workflow. You may not be the newcomer now, but at one point you were, and having more rather than less comments would’ve helped you.
Just like ads on the side of our Facebook feeds, our eyes just ignore comments in code. Method comments can be collapsed in most IDEs, and truly don’t get in the way of the code. Ignore them if you don’t need them, but you can read them if you do need them.
Let’s clear up something, I’m not talking about adding a comment for every single line of code. I’m talking about a method function at the top of every function, and occasionally adding a one liner comment inside of a function if something is especially confusing. A small function to state what the function does, any side effects, what the arguments are and the return value is. Bam THAT’S IT. I think we can agree that this is a very reasonable ask.
In summary, comments are easier and faster to read than code. You have been reading sentences and phrases long before you started reading code. Therefore, you can read comments faster than you can read code, even the most “self-documenting” of code. You write comments for others, not yourself. So stop deciding your comment strategy based on your personal preference, be courteous to others and leave meaningful comments. Comments are very easy to ignore, and can be collapsed in IDEs. They don’t get in the way of the expert programmer, but can be the lifeline for the new programmer who needs them.

The sun hath shed its kindly light,
Our harvesting is gladly o’er
Our fields have felt no killing blight,
Our bins are filled with goodly store.
From pestilence, fire, flood, and sword
We have been spared by thy decree,
And now with humble hearts, O Lord,
We come to pay our thanks to thee.
We feel that had our merits been
The measure of thy gifts to us,
We erring children, born of sin,
Might not now be rejoicing thus.
No deed of ours hath brought us grace;
When thou were nigh our sight was dull,
We hid in trembling from thy face,
But thou, O God, wert merciful.
Thy mighty hand o’er all the land
Hath still been open to bestow
Those blessings which our wants demand
From heaven, whence all blessings flow.
Thou hast, with ever watchful eye,
Looked down on us with holy care,
And from thy storehouse in the sky
Hast scattered plenty everywhere.
Then lift we up our songs of praise
To thee, O Father, good and kind;
To thee we consecrate our days;
Be thine the temple of each mind.
With incense sweet our thanks ascend;
Before thy works our powers pall;
Though we should strive years without end,
We could not thank thee for them all.

Peroxisomes are essential organelles that play a key role in redox signalling and lipid homeostasis. They contribute to many crucial metabolic processes such as fatty acid oxidation, biosynthesis of ether lipids and free radical detoxification. The biogenesis of peroxisomes starts with the early peroxins PEX3, PEX16 and PEX19 and proceeds via several steps. The import of membrane proteins into peroxisomes needs PEX19 for recognition, targeting and insertion via docking at PEX3. Matrix proteins in the cytosol are recognized by peroxisomal targeting signals (PTS) and transported to the docking complex at the peroxisomal membrane. Peroxisomes' deficiencies lead to severe and often fatal inherited peroxisomal disorders (PD). PDs are usually classified in two groups. The first group is disorders of peroxisome biogenesis which include Zellweger syndrome, and the second group is single peroxisomal enzyme deficiencies. |

The Consumer Complaint Database is a collection of complaints about consumer financial products and services that we sent to companies for response. Complaints are published after the company responds, confirming a commercial relationship with the consumer, or after 15 days, whichever comes first. Complaints referred to other regulators, such as complaints about depository institutions with less than $10 billion in assets, are not published in the Consumer Complaint Database. The database generally updates daily.
Have an issue with a financial product or service? We have answers to frequently asked questions and can help you connect with companies if you have a complaint. Learn more
This database is not a statistical sample of consumers’ experiences in the marketplace. Complaints are not necessarily representative of all consumers’ experiences and complaints do not constitute “information” for purposes of the Information Quality Act .
Complaint volume should be considered in the context of company size and/or market share. For example, companies with more customers may have more complaints than companies with fewer customers. We encourage you to pair complaint data with public and private data sets for additional context.
The Bureau publishes the consumer’s narrative description of his or her experience if the consumer opts to share it publicly and after the Bureau takes steps to remove personal information. We don’t verify all the allegations in complaint narratives. Unproven allegations in consumer narratives should be regarded as opinion, not fact. We do not adopt the views expressed and make no representation that consumers’ allegations are accurate, clear, complete, or unbiased in substance or presentation. Users should consider what conclusions may be fairly drawn from complaints alone.
Complaints can give us insights into problems people are experiencing in the marketplace and help us regulate consumer financial products and services under existing federal consumer financial laws, enforce those laws judiciously, and educate and empower consumers to make informed financial decisions. We also report on complaint trends annually in Consumer Response’s Annual Report to Congress.
97% of complaints sent to companies get timely responses
In April 2017, we made some changes to the way products, sub-products, issues, and sub-issues are grouped. The Consumer Complaint Database shows the consumer’s original products, sub-products, issues, and sub-issues selections consistent with the options available on the form at the time the consumer submitted the complaint.
Our reports highlight some of what we’re seeing in the complaints we handle, but know there are more ways to use, analyze and build on the data. That’s why we make it possible for you to download the data, once we have taken steps to remove personal information.
You can download all complaint data as either a CSV or JSON file here, or you can download a subset of the data—such as all complaints for a specific product—by filtering the full data set and exporting your results.

PWA Tutorial: Example
Let's build a PWA application that starts a dummy application and checks if the dummy application is finished or not.
Thedummy application is located in UTIL/tutorial directory. This application
mimics the actual processing. It will show processing inforation on the console if you execute it from the Command Window.
C:\dev\PWA\http-server\UTIL\tutorial>jjs ExampleApp1.js
Processing 1 done.
Processing 2 done.
Completed Successfully.
or
C:\dev\PWA\http-server\UTIL\tutorial>jjs ExampleApp1.js
Processing 1 done.
Processing 2 done.
Failed.
The PWA application has "Run" button and one "Status" text area where it shows the processing log like above.
Click PWA Applicationto open the page. There are three implementations to track the dummy application's processing.
- The first implementation is not so efficient so that it takes the longest time to finish. (It takes about 25+ seconds.)
- The second one is a good implementation. (It takes about 15+ seconds.)
- The third one is the best one since it checks if the dummy application finishes or not in addition to the second implementation.
After processing, please see the OS' Temp directory. You will see the following 4 log files.
- exampleApp1CmdWinController....txt
- exampleApp1CmdLogger....txt
- checkExampleApp1DoneCmdWinController....txt
- checkExampleApp1DoneCmdLogger....txt
The "exampleApp1" and "checkExampleApp1Done" are the "TempFilePrefix" in the scripts.

Serves 2
Place the beef into a bowl and toss with the fish sauce. Cover and place in the fridge overnight.
The next day, when ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Remove the beef from the fridge and drain off any excess fish sauce.
Transfer the beef into a roasting tray and add the coconut milk, galangal, lemongrass, ginger and lime leaves. Stir together and cover with foil.
Place in the oven and cook for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes turn the oven up to 220C/430F/Gas 7. Remove the foil and turn the beef over before cooking for a further hour. Check from time to time that there is enough liquid, adding a little water if it's too dry, and turning the beef occasionally.
After an hour the liquid should have evaporated and the meat browned. Remove from the oven and transfer the meat onto a plate to cool - do not refrigerate unless using the next day as it is better served at room temperature.
When cool, slice the beef thickly.
To make the dressing, place the chillies, lime juice, fish sauce and palm sugar into a pestle and mortar and pound to combine.
Peel and shred the mango or papaya and put in a large bowl with the beansprouts and sliced shallots.
Add a generous amount of the dressing and the sliced beef to the mango or papaya and stir to combine. Leave to one side for five minutes to allow the flavours to come together.
When ready to serve, add the herbs and toss to combine. Transfer to a serving plate and top with the crushed roasted rice.

Jon Jones set for UFC return in February
by Adam HillUFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will defend the belt against undefeated contender Dominick Reyes on Feb. 8 in Houston, multiple sources confirmed to the Review-Journal on Friday.
The bout was first reported by ESPN.
Jones named Reyes as his next opponent several weeks ago and has been teasing a bout announcement was imminent on social media.
The UFC has not announced the headliner for the event, which is expected to be a pay-per-view. It’s unclear if it will be UFC 246 or UFC 247 because January’s event likely would be a pay-per-view card only if Conor McGregor is part of the main event.
Jones defended the belt twice in 2019, following a decision win over Anthony Smith in March with a very narrow split-decision victory over Thiago Santos in July.
Reyes, a 29-year-old from Victorville, California, is 12-0 and has won all six fights in the UFC. He is coming off a first-round knockout of former middleweight champ Chris Weidman in October. Jones opened as a minus-420 favorite at Westgate sports book Friday.
The Feb. 8 card is also expected to feature a women’s flyweight title bout between Katlyn Chookagian and champion Valentina Shevchenko.
Askren retires
Former Bellator and ONE Championship welterweight champion Ben Askren has announced his retirement after going 1-2 in the UFC.
The 35-year-old Olympic wrestler was informed he will need hip replacement surgery after a lengthy athletic career.
“I’m retiring from the sport of mixed martial arts,” he told ESPN. “Frankly, I am retiring from everything.
“ I’ve been thinking about this for a week, kind of what I was going to say. I’m filled with gratitude for what a great career I have been able to have even though obviously in the end it did not turn out my way.”
Askren made his UFC debut in March after nearly a decade in the sport marked by a contentious relationship with UFC president Dana White that had the undefeated Askren long-thought to be the best fighter in the world not signed to the organization.
He debuted with a first-round submission win over former champ Robbie Lawler, then suffered his first career loss when he was knocked out by a flying knee from Jorge Masvidal in July in five seconds. Askren returned in October and was submitted by Demian Maia.
The former Missouri standout finishes his pro MMA career 19-2-1.

A Regular Expression, or regex, or regexp, is used to match a pattern against a string. The literal constructors are /.../
and %r{...}
. The other constructor is Regexp::new
. Examples:
/dog/.match('dogwalker')
=>#<MatchData "dog">
/dog/ =~ ('cat')
=>nil
Note that we can use #match
or =~
to test if it matches. But =~
will return nil or the position in the string it finds the match.
Some characters have to be "escaped" with a backslash because they have specific meanings in a regexp. Those characters are:
{ => \{
} => \}
( => \(
) => \)
[ etc.
]
.
?
+
*
Example:
/1 \+ 2/.match('1 + 2')
=>#<MatchData "1 + 2">
You can interpolate the match criteria like so:
name = "Majd"
/#{name}/.match("Hey, Majd")
=>#<MatchData "Majd">
The following are different ways to check different criteria. Note the characters used:
/[aeiou]/ => brackets check individual
characters listed without commas
/[0-9a-d]/ => hyphen checks a range
/[^a-d]/ => caret checks if NOT in range
I think that's good for now. I haven't used these, so I don't want to add examples I don't yet understand. I may come back and add more to this, since I think it might be easier for me to read than RubyDocs (who am I kidding? RubyDocs is great!) In any event, I hope you enjoyed my little demo on RegExp.

“Imagine a fish without water. Can it survive? Now imagine a world with all the environmental issues. Can Men survive?” The environment and the economy are two sides of the same coin. If we can’t sustain the environment we can’t sustain ourselves. Keeping this in mind SFC Foundations has launched its new and third project “Vatavaran” on 9th June 2020 as we feel that together we can bring a change and can make our planet Earth – a better place to live. Under this project, we’ll launch numerous campaigns focusing on the protection of our environment, animal protection and other creatures too. Currently, our ongoing campaign, under this project is ” #Feedingpaws“. #Feedingpaws is for all the animals who are going hungry amid the world’s strictest lockdown. To give them a better life, our volunteers are directed to feed them with milk and bread as SFC Foundations feels that he who feeds a hungry animal feeds his own soul. Furthermore, in future we will be launching similar projects dealing with ENVIRONMENT and it’s issues particularly focussing on deforestation, global warming, climate change and on pollution as raising awareness on the most pressing issues of our time is more important than ever. Together let’s join hands because conservation is a state of harmony between men and land. Care. Rescue. Save. Donate. Volunteer. Educate.


Structure
Form
public struct Form
A Form
is used to determine what a user needs to input in order to proceed when creating or updating a credentials. For example it could be a username and a password field.
Here's how to create a form for a provider with a username and password field and how to update the fields.
var form = Form(provider: <#Provider#>)
form.fields[name: "username"]?.text = <#String#>
form.fields[name: "password"]?.text = <#String#>
...
Configuring UITextFields from form fields
The Field

for field in form.fields {
let textField = UITextField()
textField.placeholder = field.attributes.placeholder
textField.isSecureTextEntry = field.attributes.isSecureTextEntry
textField.isEnabled = field.attributes.isEditable
textField.text = field.text
<#Add to view#>
}
Form validation
Validate before you submit a request to add credentials or supplement information.
Use areFieldsValid
to check if all form fields are valid. For example, you can use this to enable a submit button when text fields change.
@objc func textFieldDidChange(_ notification: Notification) {
submitButton.isEnabled = form.areFieldsValid
}
Use validateFields() to validate all fields. If not valid, it will throw an error that contains more information about which fields are not valid and why.
do {
try form.validateFields()
} catch let error as Form.Fields.ValidationError {
if let usernameFieldError = error[fieldName: "username"] {
usernameValidationErrorLabel.text = usernameFieldError.errorDescription

Sri Lankan bombings: British victims 'unlawfully killed' says coroner
A mother and her two children were among six British nationals killed in the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka, an inquest heard.
Anita Nicholson, 42, and her children, Alexander, 14 and Annabel, 11, died instantly in an explosion at the Shangri-la Hotel in Colombo.
Lorraine Campbell, Bill Harrop and Sally Bradley also died in the blast at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel.
All six were unlawfully killed, the coroner recorded.
Mr Harrop, a retired firefighter and his wife, Dr Bradley, had been on holiday from their home in Australia when they were killed in an explosion at the restaurant of their hotel on 21 April.
The couple, originally from Manchester, had been described as soulmates.
Ms Campbell, an IT director who was originally from Manchester but had relocated to Dubai, was in Sri Lanka on a business trip. Her family has spoken of the "enormous void" created by her death.
Her partner, Neil Evans, told the inquest he knew something was wrong when she stopped replying to Whatsapp messages. He said he had lost his best friend, confidante and soulmate.
Ben Nicholson survived the blast which killed his wife and children.
Singapore home
The family had been visiting Sri Lanka from their home in Singapore having previously lived in Upminster, East London.
Mrs Nicholson, a lawyer for mining firm Anglo American, went to college in Thurrock, Essex and had been living in Singapore with her family since 2010.
Senior coroner for Essex Caroline Beasley-Murray recorded that all six were unlawfully killed as she concluded inquest hearings in Chelmsford.
She told the families: "You've lost loved ones in these most appalling of circumstances. I would like to express sincere condolences to you upon your tragic loss."
Mr Nicholson described his wife as "a wonderful, perfect wife" and a "brilliant mother to Alex and Annabel".
Who are the victims of the Sri Lanka attacks?
The six British Nationals were among 310 victims of a wave of bombings in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday.
Two other Britons, brother and sister Daniel and Amelie Linsey, 19 and 15, were killed in the blasts.

Warm up a wintry salad with grilled pears. A great one for Christmas when there's plenty of stilton about!
Preheat oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.
First heat a non-stick griddle pan until very hot. Cut the pear in half and remove the core. Brush the pear flesh with lemon juice. When the pan is hot place the pear on to the griddle pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn over and cook the other side. When the pear is cooked and nicely marked remove from the pan.
Slice the bread into long strips and place on to an oven tray. Drizzle with a little olive oil, season with salt. Bake for 5 minutes until crisp and dry but not too brown.
Place the watercress on the serving plate and dot the pears around. Break the cheese into pieces and place over the top. Sprinkle over the walnuts and parsley.
Mix all the dressing together in a bowl and season. Add the strips of bread to the salad. Drizzle over the dressing and serve.

GLADIATOR (director: Ridley Scott; screenwriters: story by David H. Franzoni/John Logan/William Nicholson; cinematographer: John Mathieson; editor: Pietro Scalia; cast: Russell Crowe (Maximus), Joaquin Phoenix (Commodus), Connie Nielsen (Lucilla), Oliver Reed (Proximo), Richard Harris (Marcus Aurelius), Derek Jacobi (Gracchus), Djimon Hounsou (Juba), Tomas Arana (Quintus), Tommy Flanagan (Cicero), David Hemmings (Cassius, emcee of the games), David Schofield (Falco), John Shrapnel (Gaius), Ralf Moeller (Hagen), Spencer Treat Clark (Lucius), 2000)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
Here's one spectactle of a film Ridley Scott definetly made for the masses, a large-budgeted (somewhere over 100 million bucks) digital effects epic, a Star Wars film for grown-ups, with the intention to overwhelm you with its technical feats and please your senses with its photography and dazzle you with the Roman Colosseum gladiator events, and most of all, it tries to breathe new life into the much maligned and parodied Heroic Tale. Art becomes subservient to the public's taste for what is deemed enjoyable. The film keeps reminding you in intervals of every 15-minutes, as if that was a spot to go for a commercial, that its aim is primarily to please the crowd.
With a functional script to its credit, some fine bursts of mannered acting by Russell Crowe who is asked to carry the film and ably manages to ground it on his furtive looks of steel and his intense inner need for revenge, and the film's palatable heroic story of good versus evil, the film is a reminder of the old Hollywood sword- and- sandal films of grandeur and muscle and frivilousness. A few of those Hollywood oldies that the film takes after are: Quo Vadis, Ben Hur, and The Fall of the Roman Empire. Though, it lacks the kind of political intrigue to be considered in the same class with Kubrick's last fling with Hollywood, Spartacus. In modern times, it comes closest to aping Braveheart.
Russell Crowe is the great Roman General Maximus in the Rome of 180 A.D., who is asked by the dying philosophical tyrant turned seeker of a better legacy, Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris), to rule Rome after he dies, to end its corruption and make sure that the senate gets control of the empire so that the empire is turned into a republic. The love between Aurelius and Maximus is mutual, much like a father and son relationship.
Maximus wins a bloody battle over Germania, the last resistance from the barbarians, which takes 10-minutes of the opening of the film to accomplish. General Maximus commands his troops to `unleash hell' on their underdog adversaries with an outpouring of arrows and flaming canisters to fill the screen with blood and gore and mud, and a beautifully framed picture of the barbarians' woods on fire and its landscape turned into an eerie hue of bluish-gray ash. Scott succeeds in his visceral opening just like Spielberg did in Saving Private Ryan, of grabbing the audience's attention and keeping it for most of the film.
When Marcus's cowardly son, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), is told by his father that he has given the empire to Maximus because he doesn't think he would be a fair ruler, his unappreciative son kills him and inherits the crown by deceit. The proud general refuses to pledge his loyalty to him and is arrested and sentenced to be slain immediately, but manages to stave off his executioners and return to his farm in Spain, unbeknownst to the new emperor. But he arrives too late to save his family, as his wife and son are crucified. The general then becomes a slave and is sold to the gladiator entrepeneur Proximo (Oliver Reed-he died before finishing the film).
Proximo, an ex-slave gladiator who won his freedom from Marcus Aurelius, considers himself to be in the entertainment business, of giving the public a good show for their money. He, to his pocketbook's regret, must work the provinces (in North Africa) since Marcus Aurelius banned his gladiator show in Rome five years ago.
The new emperor in an effort to please the mobs, orders 150 days' of gladiator games at the Colosseum in Rome. Meanwhile, the gladiator becomes of a single-mind to get revenge on his foe, as he pictures in his mind his ravaged family and feels that they are waiting for him in heaven, a revenge theme used by so many Westerns to inspire their hero to take action. That is now the main focus of the film, as the gladiator is given a slim chance of hope that he can have his freedom restored by winning in the arena and meeting again Commodus.
In Rome, the emperor, played with a feverish but transparent perversity by Phoenix, desperate for some kind of affection and aflame for his older sister, the stately and beautiful Lucilla (Connie Nielsen). But she has this crush on the general, who sired her eight year old son (Spencer Treat Clark). She never revealed the true identity of the father, so the general who rejected her doesn't know that his son is the next heir to the throne, and more importantly the emperor doesn't know.
When the games begin in Rome, which are promoted like modern World Wrestling Federation events are, Proximo's advice to the gladiator is, "Please the crowd and Rome will be yours."Maximus fights to stay alive in the Colosseum while awaiting the chance to take his revenge on Commodus. He snarls and says things in a low but sure-fired baritone voice, that is heavily-laced with a macho Australian accent "In this life or the next, I will have my vengeance." He survives a historical battle re-creation by taking on lions and other gladiators, and becomes the crowd favorite and gets to meet the chagrined Commodus in person, who has the only funny line in this flick, as he remarks, "My history's a little hazy, but didn't the barbarians lose the battle of Carthage?"
The gladiator sees Lucilla in the dark dungeon of his present residence, as they exchange greetings and catch up on all the missing details of their lives since they last met. The plan is for him to escape with the help of the senator who is for the people, Gracchus, played by the great British actor Derek Jacobi, who could have done more if only asked, as he seems to move across the senate floor as gracefully as possible, seemingly sleepwalking through his thin part.
With all the rogue parties agreeing to a plan of escape for Maximus, after which he will lead his old army stationed outside the gates of Rome to move against Commodus and help restore a republic, that is, if Maximus can just stay alive for a little while longer.
The film is gaudy but it is entertaining, always a pleasure to look at even if it is disdainful to think what crass aims it is up to. Oliver Reed did a feisty job and stole a few scenes toward the end of the film with his cynical performance. The neurotic, clutching on to dear life, performance of determined evil by Joaquin Phoenix, made him a formidable villain. Russell Crowe relished the fight scenes and gave the film exactly what it asked for. Connie Nielsen added some class to the storytelling. The film did match the uneven quality of the old Hollywood film, the kind of standard epic that hasn't been made for a number of years, and probably won't be made after this one because of the prohibitive high budget. Gladiator should be well-received by the public, after all, it is giving them what it thinks they want. If you notice, sex is all but absent from the film, there is instead, plenty of violence. Ah! people's tastes are so fickle!

In this colorful inDesign newspaper page I worked with two other people to comeplete the project. Jared Stanley supplied the text, shortening and lengthening the story in order to fit the page. Catherine Yu was responsible for drawing much of the clipart you see. I was responsible for the general layout and placement of the various graphics and text. Additionally, I selected and edited the items such as the boxing ring and various objects in Photoshop before including them in the page. All decisions about the nuances of the page such as text wrapping, page color, pull quote graphics, font type, and style were made by me.
I chose to display this page because it showcases many of my inDesign abilities. However, I also chose to it because it proves that I can manage a team well and come up with a finished product. We completed this page in under eighteen hours, well before the deadline.
This page utilizes an elegant, simple graphics that supplement the actual story. While most people can create meaningless, but impressive looking images in Photoshop, few can choose appropiate graphics to supplement the story. And even fewer can choose those graphics if there is no story to reference.
When I began designing this page, the story was unwritten and I had only the title. Based off the words "One and Done" and the cryptic descriptions of what the story would be, I was required to choose a layout and finish the page in three days. Just before the end of the third day the text would be added and I would make the final tweaks.
To add onto the mounting problems, my page partner was obsessesed with perfection. I would stand up to get food only to come back and see that the changes I had been working on for three hours were gone and my partner was redoing the layout. Nevertheless I stayed calm and worked with this person to finish the page on time.
We ended up finishing on time. Furthermore, the editors decided that this design was one of the best layouts of the year. However, this page is an example of my ability to work through trying situations and towards the goal.
This was my first story and page design as a Sports editor. To asses my ability the editors gave me the opportunity to write, photograph, and design all the necessary aspects of my page. The most distiguishing part of this piece is actually the interaction I had with the subject of the article. Over the course of three weeks I interviewed this teacher and attempted to get pictures. I had to be polite and often patient with her schedule. Ultimately, this story speaks to my ability not just as a designer, but also as a journalist.

A common problem in in developing Java Enterprise (JEE or J2EE) application is working with threads, or more generally executing code asynchronously. Starting and instantiating threads in the old-fashioned java way is not allowed.
The reason: within JEE you work with EJB's: Java Beans with managed resources. Databaseconnections, transactions, sessions, all of these resources are managed by the application server. Usually resources such as databaseconnections are not thread-safe. The application server will take of any issues related to thread-safefety, as long as you don't instantiate threads yourself. That being said, what is the JEE-alternative to using threads?
There are several possible answers to that question:
The TimerService can only be used within a stateless EJB bean. So to start you'll have to define one, by adding the right annotations:
.. @Stateless public class MyTimerExampleBean implements MyTimerExample { } ... public interface MyTimerExample { }
Within the bean you can inject the timerservice using the Resource annotation. As soon as the bean is deployed within an application server like JBoss, the bean is instantiated and the resources are injected and available for use.
@Resource private TimerService timerService;
Now we'll use our timerservice. We define a method called startMe and a method runMe. The startMe method will define a timer. The timer will then execute the runMe method after a predefined time.
When the runMe method is to be executed, the bean is newly instantiated. This means, if you set any local variables within your bean, those values will be lost. For that reason, we use the myInfo class to transfer parameters, in this case a delay and the message we want to print to the screen.
class HelloWorldInfo implements Serializable { String message; long delay; int counter; } public void startMe() { long waitTime =60*1000; //60 seconds, 1 minute HelloWorldInfo taskInformation=new HelloWorldInfo(); taskInformation.message="Hello world"; taskInformation.delay=12*1000; //12 seconds taskInformation.counter=0; Timer timer = timerService.createTimer(waitTime, taskInformation); } @Timeout public synchronized void runMe(Timer timer) { final HelloWorldInfo myInfo = (HelloWorldInfo ) timer.getInfo(); System.out.println("Going to do something important"); Thread.wait(5000); System.out.println(myInfo.delay); System.out.println(myInfo.message); }
That's all there is! Using the above code, will allow you to run code asynchronously in a similar fashion when using Thread and Runnable classes. You could for example call a remote webservice, or run a batch job on the database. The method runMe will run within a separate transaction - in case an error is thrown within the the runMe method, the transaction is rolled back. Since the bean is instantiated using the JEE-container, any resources associated with the bean will be discarded.
If you want want to execute the run method again, the easiest way is to call the startMe method again:
public synchronized void runMe(Timer timer) { ... myInfo.counter++; myInfo.message="Doing hello world again for the "+myInfo.counter; myInfo.delay=6*1000; //now after 6 seconds Timer timer = timerService.createTimer(waitTime , myInfo ); }
The myInfo is modified and passed again to the timerserver. So next time the bean is instantiated and the run method is executed, it'll display 'Doing hello world again 1', and will do so with an incrementing number until the application server is shut down. You can pass any information on, as long as the the class containing the information is serializable.

nameserv - Name service facility, Client
Please read Name service facility, introduction first.
This package provides a client for the name service facility implemented by the package nameserv::server.
This service is built in top of and for the package comm. It has nothing to do with the Internet's Domain Name System. If the reader is looking for a package dealing with that please see Tcllib's packages dns and resolv.
The package exports eight commands, as specified below:
The caller of this command registers the given name as its name in the configured name service, and additionally associates a piece of data with it. The service does nothing with this information beyond storing it and delivering it as part of search results. The meaning is entirely up to the applications using the name service.
A generally useful choice would for example be an identifier for a communication endpoint managed by the package comm. Anybody retrieving the name becomes immediately able to talk to this endpoint, i.e. the registering application.
Of further importance is that a caller can register itself under more than one name, and each name can have its own piece of data.
Note that the name service, and thwerefore this command, will throw an error if the chosen name is already registered.
Invoking this command releases all names (and their data) registered by all previous calls to ::nameserv::bind of this client. Note that the name service will run this command implicitly when it loses the connection to this client.
This command searches the name service for all registered names matching the specified glob-pattern. If not specified the pattern defaults to *, matching everything. The result of the command is a dictionary mapping the matching names to the data associated with them at bind-time.
If either option -async or -continuous were specified the result of this command changes and becomes the Tcl command of an object holding the actual result. These two options are supported if and only if the service the client is connected to supports the protocol feature Search/Continuous.
For -async the result object is asynchronously filled with the entries matching the pattern at the time of the search and then not modified any more. The option -continuous extends this behaviour by additionally continuously monitoring the service for the addition and removal of entries which match the pattern, and updating the object's contents appropriately.
Note that the caller is responsible for configuring the object with a callback for proper notification when the current result (or further changes) arrive.
For more information about this object see section ASYNCHRONOUS AND CONTINUOUS SEARCHES.
This command returns the highest version of the name service protocol supported by the package.
This command returns the highest version of the name service protocol supported by the name service the client is currently connected to.
This command returns a list containing the names of the features of the name service protocol which are supported by the name service the client is currently connected to.
This command returns the currently configured value for the specified -option. The list of supported options and their meaning can be found in section OPTIONS.
In this form the command returns a dictionary of all supported options, and their current values. The list of supported options and their meaning can be found in section OPTIONS.
In this form the command is an alias for "::nameserv::cget -option". The list of supported options and their meaning can be found in section OPTIONS.
In this form the command is used to configure one or more of the supported options. At least one option has to be specified, and each option is followed by its new value. The list of supported options and their meaning can be found in section OPTIONS.
This form can be used only as long as the client has not contacted the name service yet. After contact has been made reconfiguration is not possible anymore. This means that this form of the command is for the initalization of the client before it use. The command forcing a contact with the name service are
The client automatically connects to the service when one of the commands below is run for the first time, or whenever one of the commands is run after the connection was lost, when it was lost.
Since version 0.2 of the client it will generate an event when the connection is lost, allowing higher layers to perform additional actions. This is done via the support package uevent. This and all other name service related packages hereby reserve the uevent-tag nameserv. All their events will be posted to that tag.
This package generates only one event, lost-connection. The detail information provided to that event is a Tcl dictionary. The only key contained in the dictionnary is reason, and its value will be a string describing why the connection was lost. This string is supplied by the underlying communication package, i.e. comm.
The options supported by the client are for the specification of which name service to contact, i.e. of the location of the name service. They are:
Asynchronous and continuous searches are invoked by using either option -async or -continuous as argument to the command ::nameserv::search.
Note that these two options are supported if and only if the service the client is connected to supports the protocol feature Search/Continuous. The service provided by the package ::nameserv::server does this since version 0.3.
For such searches the result of the search command is the Tcl command of an object holding the actual result. The API provided by these objects is:
Destroys the object and cancels any continuous monitoring of the service the object may have had active.
The result is a boolean value indicating whether the search result has already arrived (True), or not (False).
Returns the data associated with the given name at bind-time.
Returns a list containing all names known to the object at the time of the invokation.
Returns an integer value specifying the size of the result at the time of the invokation.
Returns a dictionary containing the search result at the time of the invokation, mapping the matching names to the data associated with them at bind-time.
Fixed SF Bug 1954771.
Extended the client with the ability to perform asynchronous and continuous searches.
Extended the client with the ability to generate events when it loses its connection to the name service. Based on package uevent.
Initial implementation of the client.
This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. Please report such in the category nameserv of the Tcllib Trackers. Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either package and/or documentation.
When proposing code changes, please provide unified diffs, i.e the output of diff -u.
Note further that attachments are strongly preferred over inlined patches. Attachments can be made by going to the Edit form of the ticket immediately after its creation, and then using the left-most button in the secondary navigation bar.

Situation description
This time, I will perform a 2 × 4 × 2 factorial simulation study to compare the coverage probability of various methods of calculating 90% confidence intervals. The three factors in the experiment are:
- True, underlying distribution
- standard normal
- gamma(shape = 1.4, scale = 3)
- Model
- method of moments with normal
- method of moments with gamma
- kernel density estimation
- bootstrap
- Parameter of interest
- sample min (1st order statistic)
- median Other settings in the experiment that will not change are: - Sample size, N = 201 - Outside the loop estimation
Define functions
Data generation function
Set up data generate a function that can generate the data based on normal distribution or gamma distribution. The distribution will be defined by the parameter “dist”. The default parameter of the gamma distribution is shape=1.4 and scale=3.
generate_data <- function(N, dist, sh=1.4, sc=3){
if(dist=="norm"){
rnorm(N)
}else if(dist=="gamma"){
rgamma(N, shape=sh, scale=sc)
}
}
Confidence interval estimation function
Then define the function for calculating the confidence interval, which can estimate the distribution by method of moment with normal distribution, method of moment with gamma distribution, kernel density distribution, and bootstrap. At the same time, the function can use the function defined by “par.int” to calculate the parameter we want. The details will be introduced in the chunk.
estimate.ci <- function(data, mod, par.int, R=10, smoo=0.3){
# data: input data
# mod: define the estimation method and the distribution.
# (MMnorm: method of moment with normal distribution,
# MMgamma: method of moment with gamma distribution,
# KDE: kernal density distribution,
# Boot: bootstrap)
# par.int: the function what can get the parameter we want for the estimated distribution
N <- length(data) # save N as the number of the inputted data
sum.measure <- get(par.int) # make charactor can be used as function
if(mod=="MMnorm"){
# use method of moment with normal distribution to estimate
mm.mean <- mean(data) # get the original mean of data
mm.sd <- sd(data) # get the original standard deviation of data
samp.dist <- NA #
for(i in 1:R){
sim.data <-rnorm(length(data), mm.mean, mm.sd)
# use the mean & sd of data to generate a new normal distribution
if(par.int=="median"){
samp.dist[i] <- median(sim.data)
# save the median of generated distribution
}else if(par.int=="min"){
samp.dist[i] <- min(sim.data)
# save the min of generated distribution
}
}
return(quantile(samp.dist, c(0.05, 0.95)))
# the output will be the 95% confidence interval of needed distribution
}else if(mod=="MMgamma"){
# use method of moment with gamma distribution to estimate
mm.shape <- mean(data)^2/var(data)

return(quantile(samp.dist, c(0.05, 0.95), na.rm=TRUE))
# the output will be the 95% confidence interval

}
Destination capture function
Create a function to justify that is the confidence interval matches the requirement. When the result is TRUE, return 1.
capture_par <- function(ci, true.par){
1*(ci[1] < true.par & true.par < ci[2])
}

Calculation prepare
Now we can set the size of distribution N is 201. When use gamma distribution, we will use the shape 1.4 and scale 3.
N <- 201
shape.set <- 1.4
scale.set <- 3
Define the capture destinations.
true.norm.med <- qnorm(0.5)
true.norm.min <- mean(apply(array(rnorm(N*10000), dim=c(N, 10000)),2,min))
true.gamma.med <- qgamma(0.5, shape = shape.set, scale=scale.set)
true.gamma.min <- mean(apply(array(rgamma(N*10000, shape=shape.set, scale=scale.set), dim=c(N, 10000)),2,min))
For the standard min of distribution part, we expand the data size for 10000 times and get the mean min value as the standard min.
Create a table called “simsettings” to reserve the results of each estimation method and the target parameter.
simsettings <- expand.grid(dist=c("norm", "gamma"), model=c("MMnorm", "MMgamma", "KDE", "Boot"), par.int=c("median", "min"), cov.prob=NA, stringsAsFactors = FALSE, KEEP.OUT.ATTRS = FALSE)
Add a new column to reserve the capture destinations.
simsettings$truth <- c(true.norm.med, true.gamma.med, true.norm.med, true.gamma.med, true.norm.med, true.gamma.med, true.norm.med, true.gamma.med, true.norm.min, true.gamma.min, true.norm.min, true.gamma.min, true.norm.min, true.gamma.min, true.norm.min, true.gamma.min)
Calculation
Base on the “simsettings” table, calculate the capture probabilities and reserve them in the table.
for(k in c(1:2,4:10,12:16)){
dist1 <- simsettings[k,1]
model1 <- simsettings[k,2]
par.int1 <- simsettings[k,3]
true.par1 <- simsettings[k,5]
cover <- NA
for(sims in 1:100){
cover[sims] <- generate_data(N, dist1) %>%
estimate.ci(mod=model1, par.int=par.int1, R=1000) %>%
capture_par(true.par = true.par1)
}
simsettings[k,4] <- mean(cover)
}
Conclusion
Show the result table.

Definitely, for the method of moment part, when the data distribution matches the model distribution (e.g. norm - MMnorm, gamma - MMgamma), the capture probabilities are more than 90%. When the distributions do not match with each other, the results will be close to 0% or NA.
And for kernel density estimation, when we need to get the median of the distributions, the results are pretty good as close to 100%. But when we need to get the min of the distributions, the capture probabilities of normal and gamma are really different. For the normal distribution, it works well, but for gamma distribution, it is about 37%. The reason might be that gamma distribution is a skewed distribution.
For the bootstrap part, the results are not as good as others. When we want to get the median of the distributions, the capture probabilities are just about 90%. And when it comes to min of the distributions, the probabilities become 50%. Obviously, it is because selecting a sample randomly is too difficult to get the min point every time.
