When a chase scene involves motorcycles, there seems to be only one way the chase can end. The motorcycle will invariably come across an intersection with a large semi towing a large trailer at the exact moment the trailer is blocking the entire intersection.
If it's the hero on the motorcycle, who will often be chased by cops in police cars, then the hero drops to his side and slides safely underneath the semi, while the cops blindly slam into the trailer without stopping. This is possible but extremely dangerous; misjudging the slide can easily result in decapitation by truck or in the rider's low-side leg being ground into paste.
If the hero is being chased by motorcycles instead, he will just barely zip around the truck, while his pursuers take the slide and are taken out of the race.
Note that motorcycle riders unfortunately used to be advised to try something similar to this if they realize they can't avoid being in a collision. The goal of this maneuver is (incorrectly) to stop in the shortest distance possible, taking a very severe case of road rash in favor of slamming into the back of a stopped vehicle or other obstacle. In real life, stopping with your brakes while remaining upright will bring you to a stop in a much shorter distance and in less time. Intentionally lowsiding is, unfortunately, still passed on from old bikers who have never used the brakes to their fullest extent. This is especially true on newer bikes equipped with ABS. Stereotypical biker leather came about as a means of protection from road rash in case of an accident, and back in the day bikes and road surfaces may have been poor enough to merit this maneuver.
See also Instant Convertible for when a car tries to do the same. Has nothing to do with the myth of Mew being under the truck in Vermilion City.
Examples:
- In DC Showcase: Catwoman, Catwoman slides her stolen motorcycle under a truck while chasing Rough Cut. For bonus style points, the truck is tipping over at the time.
- My Little Pony: Equestria Girls Friendship Games: During the motocross event, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer are forced into this maneuver under the stalks of the giant Man-Eating Plants. Rainbow slides past easily, but Sunset falls off her bike because the next one is too low.
- The Fast and the Furious:
- Subversion: in 2Fast 2Furious, the hero manages to zip into a narrow gap between two trailer trucks. One of the bad guys then tries to do the same, but ends up losing control, then gets stuck under the truck, and is finally splatted by the rear wheels.
- Contrast with the opening scene in the original, where one of the cars slips underneath a hijacked semi-truck. And manages to stay clear of the wheels.
- James Bond:
- During a chase scene in Never Say Never Again, Bond dives under a truck with his motorcycle and exits the other side.
- In Tomorrow Never Dies, James Bond slides his motorcycle underneath a helicopter that has its rotor blades tilted downwards.
- The motorcycle goes under a few library desks in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
- The Dark Knight. Not a chase scene, since the Joker is coming at Batman head on in a truck, while Batman races towards him on the Batpod. However Batman fires two tow cables that hit the truck and then proceeds to weave in and out between the wheels of the trailer to tie it up. Because the Batpod is built low to the ground and the truck is quite high off the ground, he doesn't need to slide, just drive normally.
- In Gleaming the Cube, the Big Bad has kidnapped Brian's love interest just after killing her father for plot-related reasons. Instead of chasing the villain's car with another car, Brian sticks to the movie's theme by holding onto another car while riding his skateboard. During the chase, they end up on a six-lane highway, and Brian in the left lane lets go of the car he was holding to zip under the trailer of an 18-wheeler, grabbing onto a pickup truck driven and ridden in by his skater friends in the right lane.
- In Spider-Man 2, Spidey is chasing two crooks in a car and naturally, a truck pulls out in the way. Rather than slide under, Spidey swings through the gap between the cab and trailer.
- Another quasi-example, this time from Transformers. Captain Lennox grabs an abandoned motorcycle, drives it straight at the Decepticon walking away, and puts it in a slide right through his legs, while firing his Grenade Launcher straight into said Decepticon's codpiece.
- Johnny does it in a motorised wheelchair in Johnny English Reborn
- The 1995 Indian (Telugu) film Alluda Majaka features the hero pulling this trick off with a horse! The effect is not very convincing, to say the least.
- Terminator:
- In Terminator Salvation, one of the Moto-Terminators uses its Artificial Intelligence to instantaneously plot the course of low-bouncing debris hurling towards it, and comes up with this trope as the only solution. Like the Ben 10 example in Western Animation, having no driver makes it easier to recover.
- And in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Arnie shows you don't need a motorcycle to do this. The TX is on top of a hearse being driven by the T-800, cutting her way through the roof, so he shouts at everyone to get down, then drives underneath the trailer, scraping the entire cabin off with the TX.
- Chun-sim does this during the pile-up at the start of the South Korean film Quick; sliding her bike underneath the jackknifed tanker truck. She comes off the bike after the slide and gets up and walks away.
- Avengers: Age of Ultron: In Seoul, Natasha Romanoff slides with her bike under the truck where Captain America and Ultron are fighting, before tossing Cap his shield that she picked up earlier.
- Mad Max: Fury Road. One of the Rock Riders slides his cycle under the War Rig to grab at Furiosa who is trying to enter the Rig via a hatch underneath, as she's being fired on at the time.
- Men in Black 3: Twice during the bike chase. First J slips under a truck on his wheel-bike (which survives). Later Boris does the same on a conventional motorcycle (which gets trashed).
- The Stone Killer (1973). Charles Bronson's character is in a car chase with a criminal who tries this, but he falls off his motorcycle in the process and can't get back on before the pursuing car catches up.
- Up to Eleven in Red 2 when the protagonists are driving a Lotus Exige S with such a low profile they can literally drive sideways under a truck, coming out behind the vehicle that's chasing them.
- Drive Angry, Milton drives his car underneath the hydrogen tanker as it flips over at the police blockade.
- A humorous case without motorcycles occurs in Kung Fu Hustle. In the scene where the landlady begins chasing Sing they end up running on the road. As they come up on a truck Sing opts to use this trope sliding under the truck at high speeds. The landlady opts to jump over, and ends up hitting a billboard.
- 2 Fast 2 Furious shows what happens when one tries to do this, only to screw up. The driver of that poor Saleen Mustang wound up getting crushed under the back wheels of the trailer.
- Ready Player One (2018): At one point during the first hunt in the virtual world of OASIS, Art3mis slides with her bike under a truck that's crossing her way. One of the Sixers following her rides his car right into the truck, resulting in an Instant Convertible.
- Burn Notice: Michael Westen has done this at least once. He takes time to note in his voice-over that, while doable, this maneuver is extremely risky and should only be done when it's absolutely necessary. Works great for deterring pursuers who don't feel like risking life and limb, however.
- Hardcastle and McCormick's most famous stunt when McCormick maneuvers his Cool Car, the Coyote X, under the undercarriage of a moving semi-trailer truck. Fortunately, the car has an unusually low profile to enable that and a driver reckless and skilled enough to attempt it.
- Game of Thrones. During a foot chase through the streets of Braavos, Arya Stark does the medieval version by sliding under a handcart. The pursuing Waif leaps over the top.
- Made a joke on a Mystery Science Theater 3000 screening of "Rocket Attack USA":
AFB officer (in movie): There's an armored truck arriving here at noon...
Tom Servo: Be under it.
- In a cutscene to Command & Conquer: Generals: Zero Hour, a pair of GLA pick-ups and a limo are escaping from a pair of US Humvees. After one of each is eliminated by a falling tower, an oil tanker pulls across an intersection just as the terrorist vehicles cross. The Humvee crashes, and the tanker explodes. Lampshaded by the words "Really Explosive" on the side of the truck.
- In the video game Stuntman: Ignition where you play as a stuntman you have to do this particular stunt frequently.
- You will do this in chapter 8 of Bayonetta to avoid oil-tanker trucks.
- Done in the motorcycle chase sequence in Everything or Nothing.
- In Ride to Hell: Retribution, Jake will have to slide under a truck roughly three times every driving section, due to the fact that apparently nobody can drive straight.
- Dawn of Time, during the future Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior parody arc. Slightly subverted in that Dawn escapes her pursuers, but gets blown off her bike when the truck explodes.
- In Ben 10, there is an episode that begins with Ben (as Upgrade) chasing a criminal, not on a motorcycle, but as it. He pulls this trick to slide under a truck and continue the chase. The thing about this one is that it's easier since there's no actual driver.
- Much to his own amazement, Wile E. Coyote pulls this trick off in the short "Vicious Cycles" on The Looney Tunes Show. Of course, he is flattened immediately afterwards by a truck going in the opposite direction.
- The Simpsons: Marge does this (although she is on foot), dropping underneath Hans Moleman's truck while running home, in "You Kent Always Say What You Want".
- T.U.F.F. Puppy: In the episode "Watch Dog", Kitty slides under the garage door to the Tuff Parking Garage as it is closing.


I read a fascinating article on renewable energy the other day. Well worth a read; the author, Judith Curry, is highly qualified.
In essence - most of us in the UK point our solar panels south in order to maximise PV generation, rather than west to better match the late afternoon / evening demand. The mismatch between solar generation and demand creates this demand curve, which the National Grid is forced to deal with:
As you can see, our panels generate peak output around the middle of the day, but ramp down just as the evening demand ramps up, creating a "mega ramp".
Take the graphic with a pinch of salt, because (1) it was created in 2013, when the actual curve was shown by the slightly less dramatic blue line (I haven't found a more up-to-date graphic to say if the brown estimate lines are actually what we're experiencing now), and (2) it shows the load for sunny and presumably more PV-equipped California!
The article does touch on the tools that utility companies can use to try and regulate demand, to an extent... but I can certainly see how adding more and more south-facing panels may not be great for our infrastructure.
I have a SolarEdge inverter which tells me how many lorries' worth of CO2 I've saved and how many trees I've "planted". However... if I (and everyone else) generate 5kWh between 11am-3pm, will some power plant somewhere actually generate 5kWh less? The article suggests that one "coping mechanism" is that traditional power plants can be required to stay online, so that they are ready to jump in during the big ramp. Are they actually burning any less coal?
As I mentioned, that chart is based on data for California. Does anyone know what the situation is like here in the UK, or how our National Grid copes with the load? Do we have a duck curve? To what extent do we store energy in this country? Adoption of solar isn't especially high here, but the feed-in-tariff degression is encouraging more and more people to put up solar panels, mostly south-facing, and mostly exporting the majority of their peak demand... Are all these new solar panels actually benefiting the environment, or just causing pain for the grid while costing the energy suppliers money?
Are solar panels actually that "green"?
Re: California Duck Curve - in the UK?
On a closely-related note, see Trystan's recent blog post, Understanding zero carbon energy systems: Energy storage (part 1) - Trystan / OEM team, if you're reading this, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts!
Re: California Duck Curve - in the UK?
To add to this "duck curve" many of us run excess PV diverters and each morning as the sun comes up, every last bit of PV is used to heat our DHW during the AM mini-peak rather than easing the load on the grid, which then reaches temperture just in time for the peak generation and low use period.
Perhaps when power storage solutions improve sub-stations can be kitted out to act as local powerbanks charged during high generation to take the edge off the PM peak, the remote locations of the substations would heavily reduce the strain on the main grid and allow for a slower reaction to demand peaks so powerstations can go into a low gen mode.
Some time ago there were some posts on a pilot storage solution involving strategic geographic positioning of mobile battery trailers, I wonder how that panned out?
Paul
Re: California Duck Curve - in the UK?
We have very similarly shaped graphs in SE Queensland. This one is from one particular 11kV feeder on the same day over 4 consecutive years. By 2014 they had about 40 11kV feeders that actually dip below 0, i.e. run backwards in the middle of the day. I'd imagine there are even more that do that now. Those two late evening mini-peaks are them turning back on the remotely controlled loads (hotwater, pool-pumps etc) after the real peak has subsided.
You can also see PV has done nothing to alleviate peak load, which is what they have to build their network for. Although it has put a big hole in overall consumption. Fixed network costs used to be built into the kWH unit price but that model is starting to strain as more and more people buy way fewer kWH, but still expect to be able suck as many amps as they want come 6pm. That's the so-called "death spiral". Here they're moving towards much higher daily fixed-charges that you pay just to be connected to the grid, whether you use it or not. So the next stage of the death spiral is to get some batteries and get off the grid altogether, although I don't think that's cost effective... yet.


Gordon Ramsay has sweary response as daughter Tilly goes public with new boyfriend
Tilly Ramsay, 18, shared two sweet black and white photos with an unnamed boy as they visited South Africa
by Molly Pike, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/molly-pike/When Gordon Ramsay's your dad, getting his approval of your new boyfriend was never going to be easy.
And Tilly Ramsay, 18, risked the wrath of the sweary chef, 53, when she went public with her new boyfriend on Instagram on Thursday.
She shared two sweet black and white photos with an unnamed boy as they did some sightseeing in South Africa.
In one photo they pose with their arms around each other, and in the next Tilly, a budding chef herself, looks giggly as she nestles in close.
Her post shocked her famous dad, who wrote "WTF" in the Instagram comments.
Tilly's brother Jack had anticipated their father's reaction, writing: "@gordongram interrogation time."
Their sister Megan joined in, saying: "We have all been there Tills - gotta face up to it."
One person commented asking if the boy was Tilly's boyfriend and she said "maybe".
No wonder it comes as a surprise to Gordon, who just weeks ago revealed that Tilly is dating Gino D'Acampo's son Luciano.
He said Tilly, who has her own CBBC show Matilda and the Ramsay Bunch, grew close to Gino's boy, 17, while their dads were filming new TV show Men Behaving Badly.
Gordon shared news of his daughter romance's with the offspring of his pal Gino, 43, during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show.
When he was asked about rumours the teenagers had grown close, famously foul-mouthed Gordon described the situation as a "f***ing nightmare".
Gordon said: "We were driving through San Francisco and FaceTiming Luciano, and all of a sudden Tilly pops up behind them, and they are out having lunch.
"I think they are friends."

Critica is a portfolio review website that specializes in portofolio improvement.
In order for designers to improve their works and portfolios for showcase, they must receive thoughtful criticism and feedback. Every designer must respect each other's work. Any sort of discouragement towards another designer and their work will not be tolerated.
1) Discuss about strengths and weaknesses. (don’t just say that you like it or not, or if it’s good or bad, elaborate on why it’s effective/not effective)
2) Don’t try to solve the problem. Let the designer find the solution. (example: don’t say change the font from one to another due to legibility issues, but say the font is hard to read and let the designer decide on how to fix it)
Must be JPG or PNG ONLY

In all of the civic and community activities that I have become involved in I have acted as the primary leader, Area Director, or President of that organization. In each case I have grown membership or raised significant money for the cause that I was representing. As the Area Director for SW Football, the organization almost doubled in membership under my leadership. As the event director of the bicycle tour we were able to raise more that $50,000 strictly for scholarships for student athletes. This included but was not limited to: marketing and promotion, sponsorships commitments, licenses and permits, gathering participants and overall event oversight.
I have not ever run for an elective office, and have on one occasion provided monetary support for a political candidate. My contribution was during the last election for the democratic challenger against Representative Scott Tipton. I have manned a phone bank for candidates in the past, and I feel strongly about voting in every election and have encouraged my friends and family to exercise their right to register and vote.
I am a very active member in my community. My past community involvement has included the following. Rotary International, Past President and Board Member, Colorado Football Officials and South West Colorado Football Association. 3 Year Area Director and State Association Board Member. Event director and organizer for the Durango Fall Blaze bicycle tour to benefit the Fort Lewis College Cycling Scholarship Fund.
I believe that I possess the skill set to be a very active and productive member of this committee. As a native to Colorado I am passionate in making sure that the people in Colorado are represented equally. I want to make a difference in my state and feel that this provides me with that opportunity.
Having a background in health care administration in a large hospital system I have acquired the skills over my career to find common ground between staff, administration, and physicians. Concepts were addressed in a fair and balanced approach with all of the information provided equally among participants so that a collaborative decision would be made. As a large cycling event director all of our board members had to come to consensus so that we could provide the best event possible and still maximize the amount of money that would be provided to the student athletes. Promoting consensus is achieved by relating all of the identifying the issue, gathering appropriate information, designing the information in a format that can be understood by participants and establishing the ground rules and desired outcomes so that there is no ambiguity as to what the task of the group should be.
As an accountant, then as a hospital administrator, and now as a business consultant I have to use analytics to provide solutions to the work projects that I have encountered in my career. Using analytics and personal work experience to determine best practices is the best way to provide solutions to problems so that the organization can achieve that highest and best outcome. Logic can be used once all of the relevant data has been reviewed and organized. Once the data is in an understandable format the reasoning in most cases is self evident. If there are still concerns or questions additional information should be provided or presented in a fashion that is understandable to the participating audience.

Now days I am spending a quite a bit of time with Python from doing hobby project to implementing algorithms and data structures to writing Apache Spark code. Python is one of my favorite language. It’s versatile easy to grasp and the logic behind the code can be expressed with simplicity and elegance. The Zen of Python from Tim Peters says all about Python. Zen of Python can be read in Python shell with the command import this
.
I wrote Python with PyCharm and with two current popular text editor Atom and Sublime. PyCharm is best editor though sometime it feels slow. And both Atom and Sublime has good plugins that makes it simple and easier to work with Python.
If you are a Vim user and comfortable with Vim basics Vim could be used as complete Python IDE and there are very good Vim plugins support which makes working with Pyhton in Vim make smooth. Below are the steps for getting started to work with Vim.
Most of the *nix
systems comes with Vim pre-installed. To check the Vim version and the supported Python:
vim --version
The output from the above command should show:
The Vim version should be at least > 7.3. There should be +Python under feature included
One important things to note is the Pyhton version. Vim in Ubuntu 14.04 doesn’t come up with Python3 and we cannot use both Python2 and Python3 in same Vim session. To use Vim with Python3, we have to compile it with Python3 support. Here is steps to compile Vim with Python support.
There are several extension manager available in Vim but the Vundle is quite popular one. It makes updating and installing Vim extensions lot easier. Below are the instructions from Vundle github repo to setup Vundle:
git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
Now create the .vimrc
file under user home directory and add the following lines:
set nocompatible " required
filetype off " required
" set the runtime path to include Vundle and initialize
set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
call vundle#begin()
" alternatively, pass a path where Vundle should install plugins
"call vundle#begin('~/some/path/here')
" let Vundle manage Vundle, required
Plugin 'VundleVim/Vundle.vim'
" All of your Plugins must be added before the following line
call vundle#end() " required
filetype plugin indent on " required
Now the Vundle is configured and we can open the Vim and start the Vundle to do all the magic. Inside the Vim type the command:
:PluginInstall
Now we can start adding extensions to Vim:
We can have the Code folding feature of most modern IDE in Vim. SimplyFold is one such Vim extension. Add following line to .vimrc
:
Plugin 'tmhedberg/SimpylFold'
And open the vim
and run :PluginInstall
.
For the PEP8
indentation add the following line to the .vimrc
:
au BufNewFile,BufRead *.py
\ set tabstop=4
\ set softtabstop=4
\ set shiftwidth=4
\ set textwidth=119
\ set expandtab
\ set autoindent
\ set fileformat=unix
This will give us 4 spaces when hit tab and line length doesn’t cross 120 characters(80 char is standard but with wider display we can go little more) and stores in unix format to avoid conversion issues.
NerdTree(https://github.com/scrooloose/nerdtree) provides the tree like file browser. Again to add using vundle add following lines to .vimrc
:
Bundle 'scrooloose/nerdtree'
And open vim
run :PluginInstall
.
Python-mode(https://github.com/klen/python-mode) adds lots of feature such as Lint, codecompletio, document lookup, jump to classes, refactoring tools.
The bundle for python-mode
is:
Bundle 'klen/python-mode'
And run :PluginInstall
to install. The complete documentation is provided on github or from inside the vim run :help python-mode
. Below are the some settings that can be set for python-mode
let g:pymode_rope = 1
" Documentation
let g:pymode_doc = 1
let g:pymode_doc_key = 'K'
"Linting
let g:pymode_lint = 1
let g:pymode_lint_checker = "pyflakes,pep8"
" Auto check on save
let g:pymode_lint_write = 1
" Support virtualenv
let g:pymode_virtualenv = 1
" Enable breakpoints plugin
let g:pymode_breakpoint = 1
let g:pymode_breakpoint_bind = '<leader>b'
" syntax highlighting
let g:pymode_syntax = 1
let g:pymode_syntax_all = 1
let g:pymode_syntax_indent_errors = g:pymode_syntax_all
let g:pymode_syntax_space_errors = g:pymode_syntax_all
" Don't autofold code
let g:pymode_folding = 0
The above settings helps:
- Lookup Python docs using k
- Automatically check code on saving, but only use PyFlint
or PyFlakes
- Support virtualenv
- Use
These are the basic settings that makes using with Python. I found these pointers in different blogs and sites and was very helpful to setup Vim for Python, so I posted here so someone may find it useful.


--- layout: post date: 2012-05-27 time: "09:00:00" authors: ["Greg Wilson"] title: What to Read If You're Teaching Software Carpentry favorite: true tags: ["Education"] ---
One of our goals—in fact, our biggest goal—is to grow the pool of people who can teach Software Carpentry workshops, so that we can reach more researchers in future. We've learned that having scientists teach scientists works better than having professional programmers (or computer science grad students) teach scientists, but that raises a question: what do we teach the average neuropsychologist or geophysicist about software engineering to prepare her for teaching our stuff? Ideally, we'd like them all to have read a double dozen books, and to have ten or more years of experience in industry, but that's not going to happen. Instead, we've settled on a very short list:
We'd like people to read a lot more than this, of course, but I think that if someone has digested these two books, they're ready to teach the big-picture stuff we want to get across. I also think that would-be instructors should read one or the other of:
Both books are group efforts, which is why I haven't listed authors. The first dates from 2000, but all the material is still relevant; the second is more recent, but less applied. Both have lots to chew on, and they complement the software-specific material nicely.


"What are three new things you have learned about yourself and your ego as a result of the core learning?"
I much prefer practical activity over reflections like these. While I knew I liked hands on work beforehand, I learnt that doing these reflections can feel like homework. While I see the value in doing them I find it hard to motivate myself to do them.
I communicate more poorly online than I do in person. I had this thought in my previous online course but the disconnect from others online is quite noticeable. I have never had an issue learning on campus and my previous online course had daily calls with the class to interact so not having much interaction with the others during this course left me feeling like I wasn't even really doing a course. It's unfortunate that Covid forced the course online, since I don't think this would have been an issue otherwise.
Again a communication issue, I have a tendency to only communicate when communicated with. This seems to be an online issue, as I never had this issue in person.
"What are the role of values, empathy and self awareness in learning and programming?"
Our values determine our approach to other people, our tasks, and ourself. They give us motivation towards learning and our code will often reflect our values, such as clean, well commented code reflecting an organised mindset and focus on order.
Empathy allows us to better understand and communicate with our peers, letting us work better together and help each other learn and improve.
Self awareness allows us to better understand ourselves, showing us how and why we react the ways we do, letting us self-direct our learning and progress.
"What has surprised you the most about the core learning?"
For me it would have to be the complexity (or more accurately the unfamiliarness) of the subject matters. I have never heard the term 'neuroplasticity' before and my knowledge of EQ has been very surface level. Also, I didn't expect to have to do so much mini essay writing with my reflections.
"What were the most challenging aspects of the core learning?"
For me it was the research and reflections. I've never been one to write much and the whole process reminds me of homework I was assigned in highschool. Since I understand the value in the subjects but lack a particular interest in them personally, I found it harder to get too in-depth with them.
"Why do you think we, a programming school, are spending so much time focusing on core learning in a web development bootcamp course?"
I suppose part of it is to prepare for the intensity of the bootcamp. The core learning seems to be geared towards improving a students basic learning abilities which will help them keep up with bootcamp.
Another reason would be in preparation for the workforce. Since a large part of getting a job and thriving in the work environment lies in human skills instead of technical skills, the core learning helps with that.
Also as mentioned in the question about values, empathy, and self awareness, core learning improves our ability to learn the technical skills we will need as well.
"Does the time you spent studying core learning here feel like a waste of time? Should you have just used that time to practising programming instead? Justify your answer."
I find this to be a rather difficult question to answer clearly. For a foundational course it did pad out the technical concepts and gave time to reflect. I also do understand the value it brings. However, for me personally I do much better with practical exercises. Since the core learning was very wordy and personally unintersting, I found it hard to motivate myself to get that work done. If I simply had practical work to do in that time, I think my engagement with the course would have been a lot higher and I think I would have been a lot more efficient with my time.
I also think that I would have enjoyed it more if the foundations were on campus in an environment where I could easily bounce off of other people and talk about these things rather than just think about them. Being online, I find it much harder to simply begin talking with people since we haven't had the opportunity to naturally interact. I don't consider this a fault of the course though, as there isn't much to be done about Covid interferring with things.
So ultimately, I don't consider it a waste of time but ill-suited for my prefered learning style, and only amplified by being forced online by unforeseen circumstances.


Next, you will be taken through the creation of the db2auth security plugin control module.
If you have never worked or modified a table definition within the Technology Explorer you should first start with the first tutorial of the TE Workshop: 1. Customizing the TE. It will give you an overview of how you can customize the Technology Explorer.
In order to take full advantage of this module creation tutorial, it is strongly recommended that you install the db2auth plug-in first. Part 2 and 3 of this workshop will take you through the steps necessary for installation.
Once you have installed the plug-in, connect to the database where the authorization information is installed, using the db2auth administrator account.

The totally inofficial guide to Verse on Premises
Now that CNGD8ML is upon us, it is story time. Read about the why, who, what and what to watch out for.
To successfully deploy Verse, make sure to carefully read and implement the installation instructions. The availability of Verse makes Domino the most versatile eMail platform around, offering you the choice of: Notes Client, Outlook, POP2, IMAP4, iNotes, Verse, iOS, Android. Anywhay, here we go:
The back story
Verse on premises was a long (out)standing promise to the IBM customer base. Not everybody is ready to embrace the cloud, but interested in the new way to work. In SmartCloud Notes, the backend for Verse in the Cloud, all search is powered by Apache SOLR. If Verse got delivered as is, that would have required substantial hardware and skill investments for the on-premises customers.
So I made a bet with Michael Alexander, whom I worked with on TPTSNBN, that we could use standard Domino capabilities, not requiring Solr. Based on prototypes with vert.x and Java8 we gained confidence and got the go ahead to build the search component as OSGi plug-in (in Java6). So the search part (not the UI or other functionality) is on me.
The team(s)
There were two distinct teams working on the delivery of Verse on Premises (VoP): The core Verse team, that owns UI, functionality and features for both cloud and on premises and the search plugin team responsible to replace the Solr capabilities with native Domino calls.
The former is rather large, distributed between the US, Ireland and China. The later was led by the distinguished engineer David Byrd and just a few core coding members: David, Michael, Christopher, Raj and myself.
We were supported by a team of testers in Belarus and the Philippines. The test teams wrote hundreds of JUnit and Postman tests, just for the search API.
The Orangebox
Each project needs a good code name. The original Verse code name was Sequoia, which is reflected in the name of the plugins for core and UI functionality.
The search component, not being part of RealVerse™, needed a different name. In an initial high level diagram, outlining the architecture for management, the search component was drawn as an orange box. Since we "just" had to code "the orange box". The name stuck and led to our code name "Project OrangeBox" (PoB).
You can find Orangebox and POB in multiple places (including notes.ini variables and https calls the browser makes). So now you know where it is coming from.
The challenges
We set out to build POB with the following constraints:
- No changes to the Verse UI code
The UI makes heavy use of JAGR for aggregation and sends SOLR syntax queries over HTTPS. Short of the message bodies almost everything the Verse client requests is a SOLR search query, including opening the inbox.
For your enlightenment: Open the developer tools in Chrome and watch what is transmitted over the wire.
The UI code is completely identical to the code running in the cloud, no splitting of code streams was a design mandate - and no changes from the running production code - Java8 would not be ready in time
So no Vert.x library, no RxJava (it uses threads heavily and that kills the Domino Java6 JVM performance), no lambda functions. Initially I used RxJava to process resultsets into the required JSON. However that didn't survive our load tests, mainly attributed to the JVM struggling with rapid thread transitions - Only public APIs
Any of the calls made from the search plugin to Domino use only publicly documented Java APIs. Since we frequently load tested the application, I learned a big deal on behaviour under heavy load. One example: My initial approach was to use a list of item names I needed and then usedocument.getFirstItem
in a loop to retrieve them. Turns out, under heavy load it is faster to usedocument.getItems
and loop through those, picking the values I needed - Light on template changes
In VoP 1.0 the only changes to the mail template are a few additional views. So you can keep your modified R9 template (eventually) for now - unless you messed with the search order in views and folders.
However the Verse Client requires data for its list column, that is not in any current view (column). As a result we have to read each and every document that's displayed in the list. Nirmala our Chief of Performance made us work hard to get this fast.
One of the nice side effects of this effort: Jim Cooper, C expert in the core Domino team, provided code updates (also included in the upcoming FP8), that dramatically improve read performance for any document - a big bonus for all Domino based applications
To solve the challenges I devised an architecture where any incoming query would run through code determining the execution strategy. If determined feasible, VoP would just read a view or folder (eventually with a category and a date limit).
When that wouldn't fit we hand it off to a fulltext query. Raj designed and coded the Query parser that, for the use cases of VoP, translates the SOLR query syntax into Notes FTSearch syntax. Quite a feast in code, kudos to Raj!
Operating it
Make sure, you read the instructions carefully. There are a number of preconditions to be met. Missing any of these and VoP will not work for that users. My suggestion to auto-fix some of them didn't make it into VoP 1.0
- Your server needs to have https active (and please: no self-signed certificates)
- There are a few extra design elements needed. Instead of providing a complete new template, you can continue to use your existing template and just add the new views. Only catch: if you have messes with the sort order, you need to reverse that changes. Want to be on the save side? Use the stock 9.0.1 mail template as starting point!
- The mail files need to have fulltext index active (typically a given for iNotes shops, mostly off for Notes shops)
- The special: The databases need to have folder references enabled. Read the instruction (16g) on that one carefully
- The mail server needs designer or manager access to the mail files
- In a cluster: the clustered mail databases must have the same file path (relative to the data directory) and name on all servers
Watch the log
The users will not get error indicators beyond: "Talk to your admin", but the log files (the one in workspace/logs) will capture details what is missing. It will also log any other errors that might arise. VoP was subjected to thousands of automation test as well as human testing. Nevertheless, it is software, you know where this is going. The PMR system is your friend (and ours too)!
Under the hood
Watching the HTTPS traffic is quite enlightening. I usually use the Chrome tools for it. Go and watch!
To be super clear: Nothing of the data going forth (HTTPS Form submissions) and back (JSON) is documented or guaranteed to stay and can change in any future version (Very much like iNotes, see my articles about that). So don't count on it.
For adventurous souls: the search plugin is using Apache WINK which gives some information away at its base URL /pob/api/search
. Go and check it out. Some of the URLs you will find there:
/pob/api/search/inbox
Returns an extended inbox in JSON format/pob/api/search/suggestimportant
Lists the people Verse believe belong into/pob/api/search/needsaction
Incoming mail that has been flagged as "Needs Action"/pob/api/search/waitingform
outgoing mail that has been flagged as "Waiting for"- If you happen to be a member of the
LocalDomainAdmins
orOrangeBoxAdmins
group, there are a few more, which are secret and undocumented - and can't be subject to a PMR:/pob/api/search/info
Shows the version number and some cache information/pob/api/search/monitor
Real time statistics on search performance (also to be seen in the server stats!)/pob/api/search/parser?query=something
Takes a SOLR syntax query and shows its Domino FTIndex equivalent. Keep in mind: it isn't an universal translator, but tailored to Verse use cases (you don't want to learn SOLR syntax anyway)/pob/api/search/design
Various options like show/update design information or extract the current "Verse additional design elements" Template:?createtemplate=1
extracts the template with the additional Verse design elements. Fresh and crispy?showviews=1
renders the view design of the additional Verse views for inspection (to check if they are right)?replicaids=current
submits a background job creating all Verse preconditions (FTIndex, Views, FolderRef) in the current database?replicaids=id,id,id
same as above, but for the databases with the given replica id?serverwide=1
samee as above, but for all mail files (pulled from names.nsf) on that server. Do this only after a backup. You have been warned! Actually don't do this. It's not supported

Scene I
London. QUEEN KATHARINE's apartments.
[Enter QUEEN KATHARINE and her Women, as at work]
QUEEN KATHARINE
Take thy lute, wench: my soul grows sad with troubles;
Sing, and disperse 'em, if thou canst: leave working.
[SONG]
Orpheus with his lute made trees,
And the mountain tops that freeze,
Bow themselves when he did sing:
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung; as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.
Every thing that heard him play,
Even the billows of the sea,
Hung their heads, and then lay by.
In sweet music is such art,
Killing care and grief of heart
Fall asleep, or hearing, die.
[Enter a Gentleman]
Gentleman
An't please your grace, the two great cardinals
Wait in the presence.
QUEEN KATHARINE
Would they speak with me?
Gentleman
They will'd me say so, madam.
QUEEN KATHARINE
Pray their graces
To come near.
[Exit Gentleman]
What can be their business
With me, a poor weak woman, fall'n from favour?
I do not like their coming. Now I think on't,
They should be good men; their affairs as righteous:
But all hoods make not monks.
[Enter CARDINAL WOLSEY and CARDINAL CAMPEIUS]
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Peace to your highness!
QUEEN KATHARINE
Your graces find me here part of a housewife,
I would be all, against the worst may happen.
What are your pleasures with me, reverend lords?
CARDINAL WOLSEY
May it please you noble madam, to withdraw
Into your private chamber, we shall give you
The full cause of our coming.
QUEEN KATHARINE
Speak it here:
There's nothing I have done yet, o' my conscience,
Deserves a corner: would all other women
Could speak this with as free a soul as I do!
My lords, I care not, so much I am happy
Above a number, if my actions
Were tried by every tongue, every eye saw 'em,
Envy and base opinion set against 'em,
I know my life so even. If your business
Seek me out, and that way I am wife in,
Out with it boldly: truth loves open dealing.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Tanta est erga te mentis integritas, regina
serenissima,--
QUEEN KATHARINE
O, good my lord, no Latin;
I am not such a truant since my coming,
As not to know the language I have lived in:
A strange tongue makes my cause more strange,
suspicious;
Pray, speak in English: here are some will thank you,
If you speak truth, for their poor mistress' sake;
Believe me, she has had much wrong: lord cardinal,
The willing'st sin I ever yet committed
May be absolved in English.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Noble lady,
I am sorry my integrity should breed,
And service to his majesty and you,
So deep suspicion, where all faith was meant.
We come not by the way of accusation,
To taint that honour every good tongue blesses,
Nor to betray you any way to sorrow,
You have too much, good lady; but to know
How you stand minded in the weighty difference
Between the king and you; and to deliver,
Like free and honest men, our just opinions
And comforts to your cause.
CARDINAL CAMPEIUS
Most honour'd madam,
My Lord of York, out of his noble nature,
Zeal and obedience he still bore your grace,
Forgetting, like a good man your late censure
Both of his truth and him, which was too far,
Offers, as I do, in a sign of peace,
His service and his counsel.
QUEEN KATHARINE
[Aside] To betray me.--
My lords, I thank you both for your good wills;
Ye speak like honest men; pray God, ye prove so!
But how to make ye suddenly an answer,
In such a point of weight, so near mine honour,--
More near my life, I fear,--with my weak wit,
And to such men of gravity and learning,
In truth, I know not. I was set at work
Among my maids: full little, God knows, looking
Either for such men or such business.
For her sake that I have been,--for I feel
The last fit of my greatness,--good your graces,
Let me have time and counsel for my cause:
Alas, I am a woman, friendless, hopeless!
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Madam, you wrong the king's love with these fears:
Your hopes and friends are infinite.

Or be a known friend, 'gainst his highness' pleasure,
Though he be grown so desperate to be honest,
And live a subject? Nay, forsooth, my friends,
They that must weigh out my afflictions,
They that my trust must grow to, live not here:
They are, as all my other comforts, far hence
In mine own country, lords.
CARDINAL CAMPEIUS
I would your grace
Would leave your griefs, and take my counsel.
QUEEN KATHARINE
How, sir?
CARDINAL CAMPEIUS
Put your main cause into the king's protection;
He's loving and most gracious: 'twill be much
Both for your honour better and your cause;
For if the trial of the law o'ertake ye,
You'll part away disgraced.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
He tells you rightly.
QUEEN KATHARINE
Ye tell me what ye wish for both,--my ruin:
Is this your Christian counsel? out upon ye!
Heaven is above all yet; there sits a judge
That no king can corrupt.
CARDINAL CAMPEIUS
Your rage mistakes us.
QUEEN KATHARINE
The more shame for ye: holy men I thought ye,
Upon my soul, two reverend cardinal virtues;
But cardinal sins and hollow hearts I fear ye:
Mend 'em, for shame, my lords. Is this your comfort?
The cordial that ye bring a wretched lady,
A woman lost among ye, laugh'd at, scorn'd?
I will not wish ye half my miseries;
I have more charity: but say, I warn'd ye;
Take heed, for heaven's sake, take heed, lest at once
The burthen of my sorrows fall upon ye.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Madam, this is a mere distraction;
You turn the good we offer into envy.

Alas, has banish'd me his bed already,
His love, too long ago! I am old, my lords,
And all the fellowship I hold now with him
Is only my obedience. What can happen
To me above this wretchedness? all your studies
Make me a curse like this.
CARDINAL CAMPEIUS
Your fears are worse.
QUEEN KATHARINE
Have I lived thus long--let me speak myself,
Since virtue finds no friends--a wife, a true one?
A woman, I dare say without vain-glory,
Never yet branded with suspicion?
Have I with all my full affections
Still met the king? loved him next heaven?
obey'd him?
Been, out of fondness, superstitious to him?
Almost forgot my prayers to content him?
And am I thus rewarded? 'tis not well, lords.
Bring me a constant woman to her husband,
One that ne'er dream'd a joy beyond his pleasure;
And to that woman, when she has done most,
Yet will I add an honour, a great patience.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Madam, you wander from the good we aim at.

CARDINAL WOLSEY
Pray, hear me.
QUEEN KATHARINE
Would I had never trod this English earth,
Or felt the flatteries that grow upon it!
Ye have angels' faces, but heaven knows your hearts.
What will become of me now, wretched lady!
I am the most unhappy woman living.
Alas, poor wenches, where are now your fortunes!
Shipwreck'd upon a kingdom, where no pity,
No friend, no hope; no kindred weep for me;
Almost no grave allow'd me: like the lily,
That once was mistress of the field and flourish'd,
I'll hang my head and perish.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
If your grace
Could but be brought to know our ends are honest,
You'ld feel more comfort: why should we, good lady,
Upon what cause, wrong you? alas, our places,
The way of our profession is against it:
We are to cure such sorrows, not to sow 'em.
For goodness' sake, consider what you do;
How you may hurt yourself, ay, utterly
Grow from the king's acquaintance, by this carriage.
The hearts of princes kiss obedience,
So much they love it; but to stubborn spirits
They swell, and grow as terrible as storms.
I know you have a gentle, noble temper,
A soul as even as a calm: pray, think us
Those we profess, peace-makers, friends, and servants.
CARDINAL CAMPEIUS
Madam, you'll find it so. You wrong your virtues
With these weak women's fears: a noble spirit,
As yours was put into you, ever casts
Such doubts, as false coin, from it. The king loves you;
Beware you lose it not: for us, if you please
To trust us in your business, we are ready
To use our utmost studies in your service.
QUEEN KATHARINE
Do what ye will, my lords: and, pray, forgive me,
If I have used myself unmannerly;
You know I am a woman, lacking wit
To make a seemly answer to such persons.
Pray, do my service to his majesty:
He has my heart yet; and shall have my prayers
While I shall have my life. Come, reverend fathers,
Bestow your counsels on me: she now begs,
That little thought, when she set footing here,
She should have bought her dignities so dear.
[Exeunt]
Scene II
Ante-chamber to KING HENRY VIII's apartment.
NORFOLK
[Enter NORFOLK, SUFFOLK, SURREY, and Chamberlain]
If you will now unite in your complaints,
And force them with a constancy, the cardinal
Cannot stand under them: if you omit
The offer of this time, I cannot promise
But that you shall sustain moe new disgraces,
With these you bear already.
SURREY
I am joyful
To meet the least occasion that may give me
Remembrance of my father-in-law, the duke,
To be revenged on him.
SUFFOLK
Which of the peers
Have uncontemn'd gone by him, or at least
Strangely neglected? when did he regard
The stamp of nobleness in any person
Out of himself?
Chamberlain
My lords, you speak your pleasures:
What he deserves of you and me I know;
What we can do to him, though now the time
Gives way to us, I much fear. If you cannot
Bar his access to the king, never attempt
Any thing on him; for he hath a witchcraft
Over the king in's tongue.
NORFOLK
O, fear him not;
His spell in that is out: the king hath found
Matter against him that for ever mars
The honey of his language. No, he's settled,
Not to come off, in his displeasure.
SURREY
Sir,
I should be glad to hear such news as this
Once every hour.
NORFOLK
Believe it, this is true:
In the divorce his contrary proceedings
Are all unfolded wherein he appears
As I would wish mine enemy.
SURREY
How came
His practises to light?
SUFFOLK
The cardinal's letters to the pope miscarried,
And came to the eye o' the king: wherein was read,
How that the cardinal did entreat his holiness
To stay the judgment o' the divorce; for if
It did take place, 'I do,' quoth he, 'perceive
My king is tangled in affection to
A creature of the queen's, Lady Anne Bullen.'
SURREY
Has the king this?
Chamberlain
The king in this perceives him, how he coasts
And hedges his own way. But in this point
All his tricks founder, and he brings his physic
After his patient's death: the king already
Hath married the fair lady.
SUFFOLK
May you be happy in your wish, my lord
For, I profess, you have it.
SURREY
Now, all my joy
Trace the conjunction!
SUFFOLK
There's order given for her coronation:
Marry, this is yet but young, and may be left
To some ears unrecounted. But, my lords,
She is a gallant creature, and complete
In mind and feature: I persuade me, from her
Will fall some blessing to this land, which shall
In it be memorised.
SURREY
But, will the king
Digest this letter of the cardinal's?
The Lord forbid!
SUFFOLK
No, no;
There be moe wasps that buzz about his nose
Will make this sting the sooner. Cardinal Campeius
Is stol'n away to Rome; hath ta'en no leave;
Has left the cause o' the king unhandled; and
Is posted, as the agent of our cardinal,
To second all his plot. I do assure you
The king cried Ha! at this.

NORFOLK
But, my lord,
When returns Cranmer?
SUFFOLK
He is return'd in his opinions; which
Have satisfied the king for his divorce,
Together with all famous colleges
Almost in Christendom: shortly, I believe,
His second marriage shall be publish'd, and
Her coronation. Katharine no more
Shall be call'd queen, but princess dowager
And widow to Prince Arthur.
NORFOLK
This same Cranmer's
A worthy fellow, and hath ta'en much pain
In the king's business.
SUFFOLK
He has; and we shall see him
For it an archbishop.
SUFFOLK
'Tis so.
The cardinal!
[Enter CARDINAL WOLSEY and CROMWELL]
NORFOLK
Observe, observe, he's moody.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
The packet, Cromwell.
Gave't you the king?
CROMWELL
To his own hand, in's bedchamber.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Look'd he o' the inside of the paper?
CROMWELL
Presently
He did unseal them: and the first he view'd,
He did it with a serious mind; a heed
Was in his countenance. You he bade
Attend him here this morning.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Is he ready
To come abroad?
CROMWELL
I think, by this he is.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Leave me awhile.
[Exit CROMWELL]
[Aside]
It shall be to the Duchess of Alencon,
The French king's sister: he shall marry her.
Anne Bullen! No; I'll no Anne Bullens for him:
There's more in't than fair visage. Bullen!
No, we'll no Bullens. Speedily I wish
To hear from Rome. The Marchioness of Pembroke!
NORFOLK
He's discontented.
SUFFOLK
May be, he hears the king
Does whet his anger to him.
SURREY
Sharp enough,
Lord, for thy justice!
CARDINAL WOLSEY
[Aside] The late queen's gentlewoman,
a knight's daughter,
To be her mistress' mistress! the queen's queen!
This candle burns not clear: 'tis I must snuff it;
Then out it goes. What though I know her virtuous
And well deserving? yet I know her for
A spleeny Lutheran; and not wholesome to
Our cause, that she should lie i' the bosom of
Our hard-ruled king. Again, there is sprung up
An heretic, an arch one, Cranmer; one
Hath crawl'd into the favour of the king,
And is his oracle.
NORFOLK
He is vex'd at something.
SURREY
I would 'twere something that would fret the string,
The master-cord on's heart!
[Enter KING HENRY VIII, reading of a schedule, and LOVELL]
SUFFOLK
The king, the king!
KING HENRY VIII
What piles of wealth hath he accumulated
To his own portion! and what expense by the hour
Seems to flow from him! How, i' the name of thrift,
Does he rake this together! Now, my lords,
Saw you the cardinal?
NORFOLK
My lord, we have
Stood here observing him: some strange commotion
Is in his brain: he bites his lip, and starts;
Stops on a sudden, looks upon the ground,
Then lays his finger on his temple, straight
Springs out into fast gait; then stops again,
Strikes his breast hard, and anon he casts
His eye against the moon: in most strange postures
We have seen him set himself.
KING HENRY VIII
It may well be;
There is a mutiny in's mind. This morning
Papers of state he sent me to peruse,
As I required: and wot you what I found
There,--on my conscience, put unwittingly?
Forsooth, an inventory, thus importing;
The several parcels of his plate, his treasure,
Rich stuffs, and ornaments of household; which
I find at such proud rate, that it out-speaks
Possession of a subject.
NORFOLK
It's heaven's will:
Some spirit put this paper in the packet,
To bless your eye withal.
KING HENRY VIII
If we did think
His contemplation were above the earth,
And fix'd on spiritual object, he should still
Dwell in his musings: but I am afraid
His thinkings are below the moon, not worth
His serious considering.
King HENRY VIII takes his seat; whispers LOVELL,
who goes to CARDINAL WOLSEY
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Heaven forgive me!

CARDINAL WOLSEY
Sir,
For holy offices I have a time; a time
To think upon the part of business which
I bear i' the state; and nature does require
Her times of preservation, which perforce
I, her frail son, amongst my brethren mortal,
Must give my tendence to.
KING HENRY VIII
You have said well.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
And ever may your highness yoke together,
As I will lend you cause, my doing well
With my well saying!
KING HENRY VIII
'Tis well said again;
And 'tis a kind of good deed to say well:
And yet words are no deeds. My father loved you:
His said he did; and with his deed did crown
His word upon you. Since I had my office,
I have kept you next my heart; have not alone
Employ'd you where high profits might come home,
But pared my present havings, to bestow
My bounties upon you.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
[Aside] What should this mean?
SURREY
[Aside] The Lord increase this business!
KING HENRY VIII
Have I not made you,
The prime man of the state? I pray you, tell me,
If what I now pronounce you have found true:
And, if you may confess it, say withal,
If you are bound to us or no. What say you?
CARDINAL WOLSEY
My sovereign, I confess your royal graces,
Shower'd on me daily, have been more than could
My studied purposes requite; which went
Beyond all man's endeavours: my endeavours
Have ever come too short of my desires,
Yet filed with my abilities: mine own ends
Have been mine so that evermore they pointed
To the good of your most sacred person and
The profit of the state. For your great graces
Heap'd upon me, poor undeserver, I
Can nothing render but allegiant thanks,
My prayers to heaven for you, my loyalty,
Which ever has and ever shall be growing,
Till death, that winter, kill it.
KING HENRY VIII
Fairly answer'd;
A loyal and obedient subject is
Therein illustrated: the honour of it
Does pay the act of it; as, i' the contrary,
The foulness is the punishment.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
I do profess
That for your highness' good I ever labour'd
More than mine own; that am, have, and will be--
Though all the world should crack their duty to you,
And throw it from their soul; though perils did
Abound, as thick as thought could make 'em, and
Appear in forms more horrid,--yet my duty,
As doth a rock against the chiding flood,
Should the approach of this wild river break,
And stand unshaken yours.
KING HENRY VIII
'Tis nobly spoken:
Take notice, lords, he has a loyal breast,
For you have seen him open't. Read o'er this;
[Giving him papers]
And after, this: and then to breakfast with
What appetite you have.
Exit KING HENRY VIII, frowning upon CARDINAL WOLSEY:
the Nobles throng after him, smiling and whispering
CARDINAL WOLSEY
What should this mean?
What sudden anger's this? how have I reap'd it?
He parted frowning from me, as if ruin
Leap'd from his eyes: so looks the chafed lion
Upon the daring huntsman that has gall'd him;
Then makes him nothing. I must read this paper;
I fear, the story of his anger. 'Tis so;
This paper has undone me: 'tis the account
Of all that world of wealth I have drawn together
For mine own ends; indeed, to gain the popedom,
And fee my friends in Rome. O negligence!
Fit for a fool to fall by: what cross devil
Made me put this main secret in the packet
I sent the king? Is there no way to cure this?
No new device to beat this from his brains?
I know 'twill stir him strongly; yet I know
A way, if it take right, in spite of fortune
Will bring me off again. What's this? 'To the Pope!'
The letter, as I live, with all the business
I writ to's holiness. Nay then, farewell!
I have touch'd the highest point of all my greatness;
And, from that full meridian of my glory,
I haste now to my setting: I shall fall
Like a bright exhalation m the evening,
And no man see me more.
Re-enter to CARDINAL WOLSEY, NORFOLK and SUFFOLK, SURREY,
and the Chamberlain
NORFOLK
Hear the king's pleasure, cardinal: who commands you
To render up the great seal presently
Into our hands; and to confine yourself
To Asher House, my Lord of Winchester's,
Till you hear further from his highness.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Stay:
Where's your commission, lords? words cannot carry
Authority so weighty.

CARDINAL WOLSEY
Till I find more than will or words to do it,
I mean your malice, know, officious lords,
I dare and must deny it. Now I feel
Of what coarse metal ye are moulded, envy:
How eagerly ye follow my disgraces,
As if it fed ye! and how sleek and wanton
Ye appear in every thing may bring my ruin!
Follow your envious courses, men of malice;
You have Christian warrant for 'em, and, no doubt,
In time will find their fit rewards. That seal,
You ask with such a violence, the king,
Mine and your master, with his own hand gave me;
Bade me enjoy it, with the place and honours,
During my life; and, to confirm his goodness,
Tied it by letters-patents: now, who'll take it?
SURREY
The king, that gave it.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
It must be himself, then.
SURREY
Thou art a proud traitor, priest.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Proud lord, thou liest:
Within these forty hours Surrey durst better
Have burnt that tongue than said so.
SURREY
Thy ambition,
Thou scarlet sin, robb'd this bewailing land
Of noble Buckingham, my father-in-law:
The heads of all thy brother cardinals,
With thee and all thy best parts bound together,
Weigh'd not a hair of his. Plague of your policy!
You sent me deputy for Ireland;
Far from his succor, from the king, from all
That might have mercy on the fault thou gavest him;
Whilst your great goodness, out of holy pity,
Absolved him with an axe.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
This, and all else
This talking lord can lay upon my credit,
I answer is most false. The duke by law
Found his deserts: how innocent I was
From any private malice in his end,
His noble jury and foul cause can witness.
If I loved many words, lord, I should tell you
You have as little honesty as honour,
That in the way of loyalty and truth
Toward the king, my ever royal master,
Dare mate a sounder man than Surrey can be,
And all that love his follies.
SURREY
By my soul,
Your long coat, priest, protects you; thou
shouldst feel
My sword i' the life-blood of thee else. My lords,
Can ye endure to hear this arrogance?
And from this fellow? if we live thus tamely,
To be thus jaded by a piece of scarlet,
Farewell nobility; let his grace go forward,
And dare us with his cap like larks.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
All goodness
Is poison to thy stomach.
SURREY
Yes, that goodness
Of gleaning all the land's wealth into one,
Into your own hands, cardinal, by extortion;
The goodness of your intercepted packets
You writ to the pope against the king: your goodness,
Since you provoke me, shall be most notorious.
My Lord of Norfolk, as you are truly noble,
As you respect the common good, the state
Of our despised nobility, our issues,
Who, if he live, will scarce be gentlemen,
Produce the grand sum of his sins, the articles
Collected from his life. I'll startle you
Worse than the scaring bell, when the brown wench
Lay kissing in your arms, lord cardinal.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
How much, methinks, I could despise this man,
But that I am bound in charity against it!
NORFOLK
Those articles, my lord, are in the king's hand:
But, thus much, they are foul ones.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
So much fairer
And spotless shall mine innocence arise,
When the king knows my truth.
SURREY
This cannot save you:
I thank my memory, I yet remember
Some of these articles; and out they shall.

CARDINAL WOLSEY
Speak on, sir;
I dare your worst objections: if I blush,
It is to see a nobleman want manners.
SURREY
I had rather want those than my head. Have at you!
First, that, without the king's assent or knowledge,
You wrought to be a legate; by which power
You maim'd the jurisdiction of all bishops.

SUFFOLK
Then that, without the knowledge
Either of king or council, when you went
Ambassador to the emperor, you made bold
To carry into Flanders the great seal.
SURREY
Item, you sent a large commission
To Gregory de Cassado, to conclude,
Without the king's will or the state's allowance,
A league between his highness and Ferrara.
SUFFOLK
That, out of mere ambition, you have caused
Your holy hat to be stamp'd on the king's coin.
SURREY
Then that you have sent innumerable substance--
By what means got, I leave to your own conscience--
To furnish Rome, and to prepare the ways
You have for dignities; to the mere undoing
Of all the kingdom. Many more there are;
Which, since they are of you, and odious,
I will not taint my mouth with.
Chamberlain
O my lord,
Press not a falling man too far! 'tis virtue:
His faults lie open to the laws; let them,
Not you, correct him. My heart weeps to see him
So little of his great self.
SUFFOLK
Lord cardinal, the king's further pleasure is,
Because all those things you have done of late,
By your power legatine, within this kingdom,
Fall into the compass of a praemunire,
That therefore such a writ be sued against you;
To forfeit all your goods, lands, tenements,
Chattels, and whatsoever, and to be
Out of the king's protection. This is my charge.
NORFOLK
And so we'll leave you to your meditations
How to live better. For your stubborn answer
About the giving back the great seal to us,
The king shall know it, and, no doubt, shall thank you.
So fare you well, my little good lord cardinal.
[Exeunt all but CARDINAL WOLSEY]
CARDINAL WOLSEY
So farewell to the little good you bear me.
Farewell! a long farewell, to all my greatness!
This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honours thick upon him;
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And, when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured,
Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,
This many summers in a sea of glory,
But far beyond my depth: my high-blown pride
At length broke under me and now has left me,
Weary and old with service, to the mercy
Of a rude stream, that must for ever hide me.
Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye:
I feel my heart new open'd. O, how wretched
Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours!
There is, betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have:
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again.
[Enter CROMWELL, and stands amazed]
Why, how now, Cromwell!
CROMWELL
I have no power to speak, sir.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
What, amazed
At my misfortunes? can thy spirit wonder
A great man should decline? Nay, an you weep,
I am fall'n indeed.
CROMWELL
How does your grace?
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Why, well;
Never so truly happy, my good Cromwell.
I know myself now; and I feel within me
A peace above all earthly dignities,
A still and quiet conscience. The king has cured me,
I humbly thank his grace; and from these shoulders,
These ruin'd pillars, out of pity, taken
A load would sink a navy, too much honour:
O, 'tis a burthen, Cromwell, 'tis a burthen
Too heavy for a man that hopes for heaven!
CROMWELL
I am glad your grace has made that right use of it.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
I hope I have: I am able now, methinks,
Out of a fortitude of soul I feel,
To endure more miseries and greater far
Than my weak-hearted enemies dare offer.
What news abroad?
CROMWELL
The heaviest and the worst
Is your displeasure with the king.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
God bless him!
CROMWELL
The next is, that Sir Thomas More is chosen
Lord chancellor in your place.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
That's somewhat sudden:
But he's a learned man. May he continue
Long in his highness' favour, and do justice
For truth's sake and his conscience; that his bones,
When he has run his course and sleeps in blessings,
May have a tomb of orphans' tears wept on em! What more?
CROMWELL
That Cranmer is return'd with welcome,
Install'd lord archbishop of Canterbury.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
That's news indeed.
CROMWELL
Last, that the Lady Anne,
Whom the king hath in secrecy long married,
This day was view'd in open as his queen,
Going to chapel; and the voice is now
Only about her coronation.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
There was the weight that pull'd me down. O Cromwell,
The king has gone beyond me: all my glories
In that one woman I have lost for ever:
No sun shall ever usher forth mine honours,
Or gild again the noble troops that waited
Upon my smiles. Go, get thee from me, Cromwell;
I am a poor fall'n man, unworthy now
To be thy lord and master: seek the king;
That sun, I pray, may never set! I have told him
What and how true thou art: he will advance thee;
Some little memory of me will stir him--
I know his noble nature--not to let
Thy hopeful service perish too: good Cromwell,
Neglect him not; make use now, and provide
For thine own future safety.
CROMWELL
O my lord,
Must I, then, leave you? must I needs forego
So good, so noble and so true a master?
Bear witness, all that have not hearts of iron,
With what a sorrow Cromwell leaves his lord.
The king shall have my service: but my prayers
For ever and for ever shall be yours.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
Cromwell, I did not think to shed a tear
In all my miseries; but thou hast forced me,
Out of thy honest truth, to play the woman.
Let's dry our eyes: and thus far hear me, Cromwell;
And, when I am forgotten, as I shall be,
And sleep in dull cold marble, where no mention
Of me more must be heard of, say, I taught thee,
Say, Wolsey, that once trod the ways of glory,
And sounded all the depths and shoals of honour,
Found thee a way, out of his wreck, to rise in;
A sure and safe one, though thy master miss'd it.
Mark but my fall, and that that ruin'd me.
Cromwell, I charge thee, fling away ambition:
By that sin fell the angels; how can man, then,
The image of his Maker, hope to win by it?
Love thyself last: cherish those hearts that hate thee;
Corruption wins not more than honesty.
Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace,
To silence envious tongues. Be just, and fear not:
Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy country's,
Thy God's, and truth's; then if thou fall'st,
O Cromwell,
Thou fall'st a blessed martyr! Serve the king;
And,--prithee, lead me in:
There take an inventory of all I have,
To the last penny; 'tis the king's: my robe,
And my integrity to heaven, is all
I dare now call mine own. O Cromwell, Cromwell!
Had I but served my God with half the zeal
I served my king, he would not in mine age
Have left me naked to mine enemies.
CROMWELL
Good sir, have patience.
CARDINAL WOLSEY
So I have. Farewell
The hopes of court! my hopes in heaven do dwell.
[Exeunt]


NOTE:
TASKS:
1.Create public synonym sh.sales in the PDBPROD1 database, name sales1
2. Create a physical standby database:
(1) PROD5 in the host01 as the Primary, SID is PROD5, DB_UNIQUE_NAME set to PROD5H1
(2) PROD5 in teh host02 as a standby database, SID is PROD5, DB_UNIQUE_NAME set PROD5H2
(3) The directory objects should exist in the primary and standby
(4) Can be connected standby database using the following method, connect sys/oracle@PROD5H2 as sysdba, should be the dedicated mode
(5) When the global temporary tables standby database were DML, minimizing the generation of Redo
3. Configure a physical standby database for testing
(1) Configuration PROD5 physical standby database for testing, you can DML and transaction processing
4. Configure a physical standby database for reporting and Redo Apply
(1) Configure the physical standby database can be used for Reporting Services, make sure it is in open mode
(2) When the configuration restoration log reaches the standby database for application immediately
(3) Reduce the load standby database when incremental backup
(4) archived log deletion policy: When the backup archive logs after the database application is complete, it can be deleted in the Primary database
5. Automatic management
(1) Automatic failover for use host02 Observer. Make sure that is configured for synchronous
(2) The physical standby database to acknowledge receipt of redo only when it can guarantee that when applying redo.
(3) When the physical standby database to receive redo when more than 30 seconds, it should issue a warning, regardless of which database is standby database.
(4) When the redo Not physical standby database applications within 45 seconds, an alarm should be issued, regardless of which database is standby database.
6. Perform switching:
(1) Switching database roles, so that the Primary runs on host02, standby database running on host01
(2) The new Primary must be open read write mode
(3) The new standby database must be open read only mode, and can apply log
7. Sequence
(1) Create a sequence SEQ1, ensure that the Primary equipment can be used. Sequence starting from 1, incremented by 1 in the configuration of this value must be unique. This sequence should produce minimal performance overhead and maintained in memory.
(2) Create a sequence SEQ2, for global temporary tables. Its value must be unique at the session level, but different sessions may be allowed to repeat.

Writing Testable JavaScript
The engineering culture at Twitter requires tests. Lots of tests. I haven’t had formal experience with JavaScript testing before Twitter, so I’ve been learning a lot as I go. In particular, a number of patterns I used to use, write about, and encourage have turned out to be bad for writing testable code. So I thought it would be worthwhile to share a few of the most important principles I’ve developed for writing testable JavaScript. The examples I provide are based on QUnit, but should be just as applicable to any JavaScript testing framework.
Avoid Singletons
One of my most popular posts was about using JavaScript Module Pattern to create powerful singletons in your application. This approach can be simple and useful, but it creates problems for testing, for one simple reason: singletons suffer state pollution between tests. Rather than creating your singletons as modules, you should compose them as constructable objects, and assign a single, default instance at the global level in your application init.
For example, consider the following singleton module (contrived example, of course):
var dataStore = (function() {
var data = [];
return {
push: function (item) {
data.push(item);
},
pop: function() {
return data.pop();
},
length: function() {
return data.length;
}
};
}());
With this module, we may wish to test the foo.bar
method. Here’s a simple QUnit test suite:
module("dataStore");
test("pop", function() {
dataStore.push("foo");
dataStore.push("bar")
equal(dataStore.pop(), "bar", "popping returns the most-recently pushed item");
});
test("length", function() {
dataStore.push("foo");
equal(dataStore.length(), 1, "adding 1 item makes the length 1");
});
When running this test suite, the assertion in the length
test will fail, but it’s not clear from looking at it why it should. The problem is that state has been left in dataStore
from the previous test. Merely re-ordering these tests will cause the length
test to pass, which is a clear red flag that something is wrong. We could fix this with setup or teardown that reverts the state of dataStore
, but that means that we need to constantly maintain our test boilerplate as we make implementation changes in the dataStore
module. A better approach is the following:
function newDataStore() {
var data = [];
return {
push: function (item) {
data.push(item);
},
pop: function() {
return data.pop();
},
length: function() {
return data.length;
}
};
}
var dataStore = newDataStore();
Now, your test suite will look like this:
module("dataStore");
test("pop", function() {
var dataStore = newDataStore();
dataStore.push("foo");
dataStore.push("bar")
equal(dataStore.pop(), "bar", "popping returns the most-recently pushed item");
});
test("length", function() {
var dataStore = newDataStore();
dataStore.push("foo");
equal(dataStore.length(), 1, "adding 1 item makes the length 1");
});
This allows our global dataStore
to behave exactly as it did before, while allowing our tests to avoid polluting each other. Each test owns its own instance of a DataStore
object, which will be garbage collected when the test completes.
Avoid Closure-based Privacy
Another pattern I used to promote is real private members in JavaScript. The advantage is that you can keep globally-accessible namespaces free of unnecessary references to private implementation details. However, overuse of this pattern can lead to untestable code. This is because your test suite cannot access, and thus cannot test, private functions hidden in closures. Consider the following:
function Templater() {
function supplant(str, params) {
for (var prop in params) {
str.split("{" + prop +"}").join(params[prop]);
}
return str;
}
var templates = {};
this.defineTemplate = function(name, template) {
templates[name] = template;
};
this.render = function(name, params) {
if (typeof templates[name] !== "string") {
throw "Template " + name + " not found!";
}
return supplant(templates[name], params);
};
}
The crucial method for our Templater
object is supplant
, but we cannot access it from outside the closure of the constructor. Thus, a testing suite like QUnit cannot hope to verify that it works as intended. In addition, we cannot verify that our defineTemplate
method does anything without trying a .render()
call on the template and watching for an exception. We could simply add a getTemplate()
method, but then we’d be adding methods to the public interface solely to allow testing, which is not a good approach. While the issues here are probably just fine in this simple example, building complex objects with important private methods will lead to relying on untestable code, which is a red flag. Here’s a testable version of the above:
function Templater() {
this._templates = {};
}
Templater.prototype = {
_supplant: function(str, params) {
for (var prop in params) {
str.split("{" + prop +"}").join(params[prop]);
}
return str;
},
render: function(name, params) {
if (typeof this._templates[name] !== "string") {
throw "Template " + name + " not found!";
}
return this._supplant(this._templates[name], params);
},
defineTemplate: function(name, template) {
this._templates[name] = template;
}
};
And here’s a QUnit test suite for it:
module("Templater");
test("_supplant", function() {
var templater = new Templater();
equal(templater._supplant("{foo}", {foo: "bar"}), "bar"))
equal(templater._supplant("foo {bar}", {bar: "baz"}), "foo baz"));
});
test("defineTemplate", function() {
var templater = new Templater();
templater.defineTemplate("foo", "{foo}");
equal(template._templates.foo, "{foo}");
});
test("render", function() {
var templater = new Templater();
templater.defineTemplate("hello", "hello {world}!");
equal(templater.render("hello", {world: "internet"}), "hello internet!");
});
Notice that our test for render
is really just a test that defineTemplate
and supplant
integrate correctly with each other. We’ve already tested those methods in isolation, which will allow us to easily discover which components are really breaking when tests of the render
method fail.
Write Tight Functions
Tight functions are important in any language, but JavaScript presents its own reasons to do so. Much of what you do with JavaScript is done against global singletons provided by the environment, and which your test suite relies on. For instance, testing a URL re-writer will be difficult if all of your methods try to assign window.location
. Instead, you should break your system into its logical components that decide what to do, then write short functions that actually do it. You can test the logical functions with various inputs and outputs, and leave the final function that modifies window.location
untested. Provided you’ve composed your system correctly, this should be safe.
Here’s an example URL rewriter that is not testable:
function redirectTo(url) {
if (url.charAt(0) === "#") {
window.location.hash = url;
} else if (url.charAt(0) === "/") {
window.location.pathname = url;
} else {
window.location.href = url;
}
}
The logic in this example is relatively simple, but we can imagine a more complex redirecter. As complexity grows, we will not be able to test this method without causing the window to redirect, thus leaving our test suite entirely.
Here’s a testable version:
function _getRedirectPart(url) {
if (url.charAt(0) === "#") {
return "hash";
} else if (url.charAt(0) === "/") {
return "pathname";
} else {
return "href";
}
}
function redirectTo(url) {
window.location[_getRedirectPart(url)] = url;
}
And now we can write a simple test suite for _getRedirectPart
:
test("_getRedirectPart", function() {
equal(_getRedirectPart("#foo"), "hash");
equal(_getRedirectPart("/foo"), "pathname");
equal(_getRedirectPart("http://foo.com"), "href");
});
Now the meat of redirectTo
has been tested, and we don’t have to worry about accidentally redirecting out of our test suite.
Write Lots of Tests
This is a no-brainer, but it’s important to remember. Many programmers write too few tests because writing tests is hard, or lots of work. I suffer from this problem all the time, so I threw together a little helper for QUnit that makes writing lots of tests a lot easier. It’s a function called testCases
which you call within a test
block, passing a function, calling context, and array of inputs/outputs to try and compare. You can quickly build up a robust suite for your input/output functions for rigorous testing.
function testCases(fn, context, tests) {
for (var i = 0; i < tests.length; i++) {
same(fn.apply(context, tests[i][0]), tests[i][1],
tests[i][2] || JSON.stringify(tests[i]));
}
}
And here’s a simple example use:
test("foo", function() {
testCases(foo, null, [
[["bar", "baz"], "barbaz"],
[["bar", "bar"], "barbar", "a passing test"]
]);
});
Conclusions
There is plenty more to write about testable JavaScript, and I’m sure there are many good books, but I hope this was a good overview of practical cases I encounter on a daily basis. I’m by no means a testing expert, so please let me know if I’ve made mistakes or given bad advice.


Gods and Monsters
Ah yes, the little movie that could. No doubt that more than a few heads were shaking the night of the Academy Awards when the Best Adapted Screenplay trophy had "Gods and Monsters" written on it. What the heck is this film, and why is Brendan Fraser in hootin' and hollerin' with artsy-types Ian McKellen and Lynn Redgrave?
Turns out that Bill Condon is fascinated with James Whale, a director I had never heard of, but what a resume-- _Show Boat_, _The Invisible Man_, _The Man in the Iron Mask_, and the first two Frankenstein movies. Condon made a love poem to one of Hollywood's great neglected directors, one whose eccentric behavior had him all but blacklisted in Hollywood, at a time when very few directors were acknowledged.
So far, so good. James Whale is near the end of his life, and he's living in a respectable little suburban house, far from the glitz that Hollywood is accustomed to. One day, he witnesses the young man mowing the lawn, and pursues a friendship with him (Brendan Fraser)...
And much, much, more. Gods and Monsters, from the very start, veers into territory that is popular amongst art-houses--the homosexual angst film. "Oh, woe is me. If only I were understood. If only I were acknowledged for the real me." These words were not spoken, but they might as well have been.
I can appreciate films which explore hidden characters of great, unacknowledged individuals. But tell me, in Hollywood, is not the definition of one's sexual preference quickly taking the defining role as to who that person truly is? How superficial.
Ian McKellen does an extraordinary job as to hiding completely within some of the eccentricities of James Whale.  According to this movie, nothing at all.
The other performances are wonderful, including Brendan Fraser. But trumping the entire cast is none other than Lynn Redgrave, as Hanna, Whale's overly ethnic housekeeper. What a performance. Redgrave is fully convincing, very funny, and quite emotional. I've seen this, and I've seen Judi Dench, and to be quite frank, Redgrave was robbed.
And the screenplay has moments of genuine old-fashioned emotionalism, as it looks at Hollywood at a simpler time, still learning how to deal with fame, only as shallow as characters the actors played. The scene I really liked was a mini-reunion between Whale, Boris Karloff and Ella Fitzgerald, of the Frankenstein movies. What was a genuine reunion of old friends turns into a mundane photo shoot. Such is the price of fame.
The tragedy is that Condon falls into the same trap that the film's fictitious reporters have fallen into. The reporters could care less about who Whale truly is: just talk about them Frankenstein movies. Condon couldn't care less either: he wants only to talk about Whale's homoerotic impulses late in life. I appreciate the sentiment, but I still don't know who the heck he is.
