The Berkeley DB environment is the encapsulation of the five Berkeley DB subsystems, a collection of related applications, and the databases accessed by those applications. The applications we will be describing here are similar to the Access Method applications previously described in the Reference Guide, but they are also fully recoverable in the face of application or system failure. The Berkeley DB application environment is created and described by the db_appinit interface. This interface creates a consistent naming scheme for all of the subsystems sharing the environment.
It is important to realize that all applications sharing a single home directory implicitly trust each other. They have access to each other's data as it resides in the shared memory buffer pool and will share resources such as buffer space and locks. At the same time, any applications that access the same files must share an environment if consistency is to be maintained across the different applications.
The simplest way to administer a Berkeley DB application environment is to create a single home directory that stores the files for the applications that will share the environment. The environment can then be identified by the name of that directory. The environment may be shared by any number of applications as well as by any number of threads within the applications.
Note that it is possible for an environment to include resources from other directories on the system, and applications often choose to distribute resources to other directories or disks for performance or other reasons. However, by default, the shared memory regions (i.e., the locking, logging, memory pool, and transaction regions) and log files will be stored in the specified directory hierarchy. In situations where further customization is desired, such as placing the log files on a separate device, it is recommended that the application installation process create a configuration file named DB_CONFIG in the database home directory, specifying the customization. See db_appinit for details on this procedure.
Once an environment has been created, database files specified using relative pathnames will be named relative to the home directory. When recovery needs to be run (e.g., after system or application failure), this directory is specified as the home directory to db_recover and the system is restored to a consistent state, ready for the applications to be restarted. Note that the use of pathnames relative to the home directory is encouraged, so that the entire environment can be moved to facilitate restoring and recovering a database in a different directory or even on a different system.
When transactions have been configured for the environment, the checkpoint daemon, db_checkpoint, must be run as long as there are applications present. When locking is being used, the deadlock detection daemon, db_deadlock, must be run as long as there are applications present. The db_archive utility provides information to facilitate log reclamation and creation of database snapshots. After application or system failure, the db_recover, utility must be run before any applications are restarted to return the database to a consistent state.
Finally, Berkeley DB applications that run with additional privileges should always call the db_appinit function to initialize naming for their application. This ensures that the environment variables DB_HOME and TMPDIR will be used only if the application explicitly specifies that they are safe.

I ordered 30 grams of Damiana along with some other herbs and extracts a while ago. I chose to try this one first as there was so little about it's effects posted anywhere. It should be noted that, like everyone else, I have tried many so called 'legal highs' from headshops in the past with no effects.
I started by rolling a joint with just Damiana, I found it almost impossible to roll it, so I added the smallest amount of rolling tobacco below and above the Damiana, this made it just possible to roll.
I lit the joint and inhaled, immediately I enjoyed it, it was a very smooth smoke, and very easy on the lungs. I don't smoke much tobacco, so I'm not too good at inhaling alot of harsh smoke, but this was remarkably good to smoke, I'd enjoy smoking it whether there were any effects or not.
About half way through the joint I started noticing definite effects, there was quite a strong body load (well, more than I was expecting) and it reminded me of cannabis quite alot.
I soon finished the joint, and just sat listening to music. I tryed to stand once or twice and it was possible, but it's definately best to sit down in a nice comfortable seat. After maybe 10 - 20 mins the body load seemed to wear off, it was still there if I stood up, but very slight. I continued to listen to music and I chatted to some friends on MSN, I was still obviously mentally stoned (ask my friends!). The obvious mental effects wore off after 30 - 40 mins, but I felt good for the next hour or two.
In conclusion, there were definitely effects, I have repeated the experiment with the same results. I'm going to experiment more with larger joints, and an oral dose. I may also try an extract to see if it has the same effects, I'll probably make my own though as I haven't got any cash left :). I will also see if my friends get the same effects. Overall it was nice experience, sure it's not the same as cannabis - but what is - sometimes I just want a nice relaxing smoke without using cannabis.

Sun Oct 26, 2008
It’s been almost a month since the launch of Canada’s National Do Not Call List. If you signed up on September 30th, your right to slam a deviant telemarketer will kick in this October 30th. Sweet. When will companies learn that people telemarketing is the second most hated form of privacy invasion on this planet (Door-to-door marketing holds the number one spot in my mind)? Even junk mail doesn’t seem as bad, as annoying as it is.
These days, however, telemarketers have it tough. Not only can they get fined for contravening the DNC list, but they have to contend with a new trend - these days most people have cell phones, not land lines. Sure, you could screen the call using Caller ID, but here’s something better: once you have the number of a telemarketer, program an entry in your directory. I use the moniker “Do Not Answer”. I then set the customized ringer to “Do not ring”. I haven’t had to speak to a telemarketer in five years. And because I’m feeling generous, I’ve decided to share my sacred list with you.
Now, bear in mind that this list is only valid if you live in Canada - and the 604 numbers are only valid for the Vancouver area. However, I’ve confirmed that all these numbers are telemarketers of the most heinous kind. Do yourself a favour and block ‘em all. So, here’s a little list of my own - a Do Not Answer list:
866-428-1656
800-837-9531
604-270-7289
416-915-7933
866-428-1469
800-566-8064
866-629-7707
866-701-8375
416-581-1076
877-666-6339
And if you haven’t signed up for the DNC list, what are you waiting for?


Through the vistas of the past the voice of the centuries is coming down to us; the voice of the sages of the Himalayas and the recluses of the forest; the voice that came to the Semitic races; the voice that spoke through Buddha and other spiritual giants; the voice that comes from those who live in the light that accompanied man in the beginning of the earth — the light that shines wherever man goes and lives with him for ever — is coming to us even now. This voice is like the little rivulets; that come from the mountains. Now they disappear, and now they appear again in stronger flow till finally they unite in one mighty majestic flood. The messages that are coming down to us from the prophets and holy men and women of all sects and nations are joining their forces and speaking to us with the trumpet voice of the past. And the first message it brings us is: Peace be unto you and to all religions. It is not a message of antagonism, but of one united religion.
Let us study this message first. At the beginning of this century it was almost feared that religion was at an end. Under the tremendous sledge-hammer blows of scientific research, old superstitions were crumbling away like masses of porcelain. Those to whom religion meant only a bundle of creeds and meaningless ceremonials were in despair; they were at their wit's end. Everything was slipping between their fingers. For a time it seemed inevitable that the surging tide of agnosticism and materialism would sweep all before it. There were those who did not dare utter what they thought. Many thought the case hopeless and the cause of religion lost once and for ever. But the tide has turned and to the rescue has come — what? The study of comparative religions. By the study of different religions we find that in essence they are one. When I was a boy, this scepticism reached me, and it seemed for a time as if I must give up all hope of religion. But fortunately for me I studied the Christian religion, the Mohammedan, the Buddhistic, and others, and what was my surprise to find that the same foundation principles taught by my religion were also taught by all religions. It appealed to me this way. What is the truth? I asked. Is this world true? Yes. Why? Because I see it. Are the beautiful sounds we just heard (the vocal and instrumental music) true? Yes. Because we heard them. We know that man has a body, eyes, and ears, and he has a spiritual nature which we cannot see. And with his spiritual faculties he can study these different religions and find that whether a religion is taught in the forests and jungles of India or in a Christian land, in essentials all religions are one. This only shows us that religion is a constitutional necessity of the human mind. The proof of one religion depends on the proof of all the rest. For instance, if I have six fingers, and no one else has, you may well say that is abnormal. The same reasoning may be applied to the argument that only one religion is true and all others false. One religion only, like one set of six fingers in the world, would be unnatural. We see, therefore, that if one religion is true, all others must be true. There are differences in non-essentials, but in essentials they are all one. If my five fingers are true, they prove that your five fingers are true too. Wherever man is, he must develop a belief, he must develop his religious nature.
And another fact I find in the study of the various religions of the world is that there are three different stages of ideas with regard to the soul and God. In the first place, all religions admit that, apart from the body which perishes, there is a certain part or something which does not change like the body, a part that is immutable, eternal, that never dies; but some of the later religions teach that although there is a part of us that never dies, it had a beginning. But anything that has a beginning must necessarily have an end. We — the essential part of us — never had a beginning, and will never have an end. And above us all, above this eternal nature, there is another eternal Being, without end — God. People talk about the beginning of the world, the beginning of man. The word beginning simply means the beginning of the cycle. It nowhere means the beginning of the whole Cosmos. It is impossible that creation could have a beginning. No one of you can imagine a time of beginning. That which has a beginning must have an end. "Never did I not exist, nor you, nor will any of us ever hereafter cease to be," says the Bhagavad-Gita. Wherever the beginning of creation is mentioned, it means the beginning of a cycle. Your body will meet with death, but your soul, never.
Along with this idea of the soul we find another group of ideas in regard to its perfection. The soul in itself is perfect. The Old Testament of the Hebrews admits man perfect at the beginning. Man made himself impure by his own actions. But he is to regain his old nature, his pure nature. Some speak of these things in allegories, fables, and symbols. But when we begin to analyse these statements, we find that they all teach that the human soul is in its very nature perfect, and that man is to regain that original purity. How? By knowing God. Just as the Bible says, "No man can see God but through the Son." What is meant by it? That seeing God is the aim and goal of all human life. The sonship must come before we become one with the Father. Remember that man lost his purity through his own actions. When we suffer, it is because of our own acts; God is not to be blamed for it.
Closely connected with these ideas is the doctrine — which was universal before the Europeans mutilated it — the doctrine of reincarnation. Some of you may have heard of and ignored it. This idea of reincarnation runs parallel with the other doctrine of the eternity of the human soul. Nothing which ends at one point can be without a beginning and nothing that begins at one point can be without an end. We cannot believe in such a monstrous impossibility as the beginning of the human soul. The doctrine of reincarnation asserts the freedom of the soul. Suppose there was an absolute beginning. Then the whole burden of this impurity in man falls upon God. The all-merciful Father responsible for the sins of the world! If sin comes in this way, why should one suffer more than another? Why such partiality, if it comes from an all-merciful God? Why are millions trampled underfoot? Why do people starve who never did anything to cause it? Who is responsible? If they had no hand in it, surely, God would be responsible. Therefore the better explanation is that one is responsible for the miseries one suffers. If I set the wheel in motion, I am responsible for the result. And if I can bring misery, I can also stop it. It necessarily follows that we are free. There is no such thing as fate. There is nothing to compel us. What we have done, that we can undo.
To one argument in connection with this doctrine I will ask your patient attention, as it is a little intricate. We gain all our knowledge through experience; that is the only way. What we call experiences are on the plane of consciousness. For illustration: A man plays a tune on a piano, he places each finger on each key consciously. He repeats this process till the movement of the fingers becomes a habit. He then plays a tune without having to pay special attention to each particular key. Similarly, we find in regard to ourselves that our tendencies are the result of past conscious actions. A child is born with certain tendencies. Whence do they come? No child is born with a tabula rasa — with a clean, blank page — of a mind. The page has been written on previously. The old Greek and Egyptian philosophers taught that no child came with a vacant mind. Each child comes with a hundred tendencies generated by past conscious actions. It did not acquire these in this life, and we are bound to admit that it must have had them in past lives. The rankest materialist has to admit that these tendencies are the result of past actions, only they add that these tendencies come through heredity. Our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents come down to us through this law of heredity. Now if heredity alone explains this, there is no necessity of believing in the soul at all, because body explains everything. We need not go into the different arguments and discussions on materialism and spiritualism. So far the way is clear for those who believe in an individual soul. We see that to come to a reasonable conclusion we must admit that we have had past lives. This is the belief of the great philosophers and sages of the past and of modern times. Such a doctrine was believed in among the Jews. Jesus Christ believed in it. He says in the Bible, "Before Abraham was, I am." And in another place it is said, "This is Elias who is said to have come."
All the different religions which grew among different nations under varying circumstances and conditions had their origin in Asia, and the Asiatics understand them well. When they came out from the motherland, they got mixed up with errors. The most profound and noble ideas of Christianity were never understood in Europe, because the ideas and images used by the writers of the Bible were foreign to it. Take for illustration the pictures of the Madonna. Every artist paints his Madonna according to his own pre-conceived ideas. I have been seeing hundreds of pictures of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ, and he is made to sit at a table. Now, Christ never sat at a table; he squatted with others, and they had a bowl in which they dipped bread — not the kind of bread you eat today. It is hard for any nation to understand the unfamiliar customs of other people. How much more difficult was it for Europeans to understand the Jewish customs after centuries of changes and accretions from Greek, Roman, and other sources! Through all the myths and mythologies by which it is surrounded it is no wonder that the people get very little of the beautiful religion of Jesus, and no wonder that they have made of it a modern shop-keeping religion.
To come to our point. We find that all religions teach the eternity of the soul, as well as that its lustre has been dimmed, and that its primitive purity is to be regained by the knowledge of God. What is the idea of God in these different religions? The primary idea of God was very vague. The most ancient nations had different Deities — sun, earth, fire, water. Among the ancient Jews we find numbers of these gods ferociously fighting with each other. Then we find Elohim whom the Jews and the Babylonians worshipped. We next find one God standing supreme. But the idea differed according to different tribes. They each asserted that their God was the greatest. And they tried to prove it by fighting. The one that could do the best fighting proved thereby that its God was the greatest. Those races were more or less savage. But gradually better and better ideas took the place of the old ones. All those old ideas are gone or going into the lumber-room. All those religions were the outgrowth of centuries; not one fell from the skies. Each had to be worked out bit by bit. Next come the monotheistic ideas: belief in one God, who is omnipotent and omniscient, the one God of the universe. This one God is extra-cosmic; he lies in the heavens. He is invested with the gross conceptions of His originators. He has a right side and a left side, and a bird in His hand, and so on and so forth. But one thing we find, that the tribal gods have disappeared for ever, and the one God of the universe has taken their place: the God of gods. Still He is only an extra-cosmic God. He is unapproachable; nothing can come near Him. But slowly this idea has changed also, and at the next stage we find a God immanent in nature.
In the New Testament it is taught, "Our Father who art in heaven" — God living in the heavens separated from men. We are living on earth and He is living in heaven. Further on we find the teaching that He is a God immanent in nature; He is not only God in heaven, but on earth too. He is the God in us. In the Hindu philosophy we find a stage of the same proximity of God to us. But we do not stop there. There is the non-dualistic stage, in which man realises that the God he has been worshipping is not only the Father in heaven, and on earth, but that "I and my Father are one." He realises in his soul that he is God Himself, only a lower expression of Him. All that is real in me is He; all that is real in Him is I. The gulf between God and man is thus bridged. Thus we find how, by knowing God, we find the kingdom of heaven within us.
In the first or dualistic stage, man knows he is a little personal soul, John, James, or Tom; and he says, "I will be John, James, or Tom to all eternity, and never anything else." As well might the murderer come along and say, "I will remain a murderer for ever." But as time goes on, Tom vanishes and goes back to the original pure Adam.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Can we see God? Of course not. Can we know God? Of course not. If God can be known, He will be God no longer. Knowledge is limitation. But I and my Father are one: I find the reality in my soul. These ideas are expressed in some religions, and in others only hinted. In some they were expatriated. Christ's teachings are now very little understood in this country. If you will excuse me, I will say that they have never been very well understood.
The different stages of growth are absolutely necessary to the attainment of purity and perfection. The varying systems of religion are at bottom founded on the same ideas. Jesus says the kingdom of heaven is within you. Again he says, "Our father who art in Heaven." How do you reconcile the two sayings? In this way: He was talking to the uneducated masses when he said the latter, the masses who were uneducated in religion. It was necessary to speak to them in their own language. The masses want concrete ideas, something the senses can grasp. A man may be the greatest philosopher in the world, but a child in religion. When a man has developed a high state of spirituality he can understand that the kingdom of heaven is within him. That is the real kingdom of the mind. Thus we see that the apparent contradictions and perplexities in every religion mark but different stages of growth. And as such we have no right to blame anyone for his religion. There are stages of growth in which forms and symbols are necessary; they are the language that the souls in that stage can understand.
The next idea that I want to bring to you is that religion does not consist in doctrines or dogmas. It is not what you read, nor what dogmas you believe that is of importance, but what you realise. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God," yea, in this life. And that is salvation. There are those who teach that this can be gained by the mumbling of words. But no great Master ever taught that external forms were necessary for salvation. The power of attaining it is within ourselves. We live and move in God. Creeds and sects have their parts to play, but they are for children, they last but temporarily. Books never make religions, but religions make books. We must not forget that. No book ever created God, but God inspired all the great books. And no book ever created a soul. We must never forget that. The end of all religions is the realising of God in the soul. That is the one universal religion. If there is one universal truth in all religions, I place it here — in realising God. Ideals and methods may differ, but that is the central point. There may be a thousand different radii, but they all converge to the one centre, and that is the realisation of God: something behind this world of sense, this world of eternal eating and drinking and talking nonsense, this world of false shadows and selfishness. There is that beyond all books, beyond all creeds, beyond the vanities of this world and it is the realisation of God within yourself. A man may believe in all the churches in the world, he may carry in his head all the sacred books ever written, he may baptise himself in all the rivers of the earth, still, if he has no perception of God, I would class him with the rankest atheist. And a man may have never entered a church or a mosque, nor performed any ceremony, but if he feels God within himself and is thereby lifted above the vanities of the world, that man is a holy man, a saint, call him what you will. As soon as a man stands up and says he is right or his church is right, and all others are wrong, he is himself all wrong. He does not know that upon the proof of all the others depends the proof of his own. Love and charity for the whole human race, that is the test of true religiousness. I do not mean the sentimental statement that all men are brothers, but that one must feel the oneness of human life. So far as they are not exclusive, I see that the sects and creeds are all mine; they are all grand. They are all helping men towards the real religion. I will add, it is good to be born in a church, but it is bad to die there. It is good to be born a child, but bad to remain a child. Churches, ceremonies, and symbols are good for children, but when the child is grown, he must burst the church or himself. We must not remain children for ever. It is like trying to fit one coat to all sizes and growths. I do not deprecate the existence of sects in the world. Would to God there were twenty millions more, for the more there are, there will be a greater field for selection. What I do object to is trying to fit one religion to every case. Though all religions are essentially the same, they must have the varieties of form produced by dissimilar circumstances among different nations. We must each have our own individual religion, individual so far as the externals of it go.
Many years ago, I visited a great sage of our own country, a very holy man. We talked of our revealed book, the Vedas, of your Bible, of the Koran, and of revealed books in general. At the close of our talk, this good man asked me to go to the table and take up a book; it was a book which, among other things, contained a forecast of the rainfall during the year. The sage said, "Read that." And I read out the quantity of rain that was to fall. He said, "Now take the book and squeeze it." I did so and he said, "Why, my boy, not a drop of water comes out. Until the water comes out, it is all book, book.  He who only studies books for religion reminds one of the fable of the ass which carried a heavy load of sugar on its back, but did not know the sweetness of it."
Shall we advise men to kneel down and cry, "O miserable sinners that we are!" No, rather let us remind them of their divine nature. I will tell you a story. A lioness in search of prey came upon a flock of sheep, and as she jumped at one of them, she gave birth to a cub and died on the spot. The young lion was brought up in the flock, ate grass, and bleated like a sheep, and it never knew that it was a lion. One day a lion came across the flock and was astonished to see in it a huge lion eating grass and bleating like a sheep. At his sight the flock fled and the lion-sheep with them. But the lion watched his opportunity and one day found the lion-sheep asleep. He woke him up and said, "You are a lion." The other said, "No," and began to bleat like a sheep. But the stranger lion took him to a lake and asked him to look in the water at his own image and see if it did not resemble him, the stranger lion. He looked and acknowledged that it did. Then the stranger lion began to roar and asked him to do the same. The lion-sheep tried his voice and was soon roaring as grandly as the other. And he was a sheep no longer.
My friends, I would like to tell you all that you are mighty as lions.
 No, the only way to get the light is to strike a light, and then the darkness goes. The only way to realise the light above you is to strike the spiritual light within you, and the darkness of sin and impurity will flee away. Think of your higher self, not of your lower.

Some questions and answers here followed.
Q.
A. They had better lose it then. The man who is frightened into religion has no religion at all. Better teach him of his divine nature than of his animal.
Q. What did the Lord mean when he said, "The kingdom of heaven is not of this world?"
A. That the kingdom of heaven is within us. The Jewish idea was a kingdom of heaven upon this earth. That was not the idea of Jesus.
Q. Do you believe we come up from the animals?
A. I believe that, by the law of evolution, the higher beings have come up from the lower kingdoms.
Q. Do you know of anyone who remembers his previous life ?
A. I have met some who told me they did remember their previous life. They had reached a point where they could remember their former incarnations.
Q. Do you believe in Christ's crucifixion?
A. Christ was God incarnate; they could not kill him. That which was crucified was only a semblance, a mirage.
Q. If he could have produced such a semblance as that, would not that have been the greatest miracle of all?
A. I look upon miracles as the greatest stumbling-blocks in the way of truth. When the disciples of Buddha told him of a man who had performed a so-called miracle — had taken a bowl from a great height without touching it — and showed him the bowl, he took it and crushed it under his feet and told them never to build their faith on miracles, but to look for truth in everlasting principles. He taught them the true inner light — the light of the spirit, which is the only safe light to go by. Miracles are only stumbling-blocks. Let us brush them aside.
Q. Do you believe Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount?
A. I do believe he did. But in this matter I have to go by the books as others do, and I am aware that mere book testimony is rather shaky ground. But we are all safe in taking the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount as a guide. We have to take what appeals to our inner spirit.


ISD charged to intensify education on referendum
by Caleb Kuleke, GNAHo, Nov. 23 GNA - Dr Archibald Yao Letsa, Volta Regional Minister, has called on the Information Service Department (ISD) to intensify the awareness creation efforts on the impending referendum for the citizenry to make informed decision.
“I want to appeal to the Information Service Department and other institutions to intensify their educational campaign on the issue of the referendum for the people to grasp the message," he said.
Dr Letsa was speaking at a Parliamentary Select Committee on Local Government and Rural Development Town Hall engagement of a cross section of people and the media on the upcoming referendum in Ho.
The Regional Minister said the impending referendum has become a contentious subject matter because many people seemed not well informed thus the need for a comprehensive education.
He urged the participants to serve as worthy ambassadors and educate others on the referendum and what it clearly sought to achieve and also urged them to vote "yes."
Mr Benjamin Yeboah Sekyere, Member of Parliament for Tano South and Deputy Minister for Ahafo Region, said it is time to have multi-party democracy at the local level.
He said having democracy at the grassroots would deepen the country's democratic and accountability process and charged the citizenry to vote "yes."
Mr Robert Amoah, Member of Parliament for Achiase Constituency, said political party participation in local level elections would help do away with the system of winner takes all, hence the necessity to vote "yes."

D.3 LinuxLinux is obviously a popular choice for Squid. It supports a wide variety of filesystems and storage schemes. These results come from Linux kernel Version 2.4.19 (released August 2, 2002) with SGI's XFS patches Version 1.2.0 (released Feb 11, 2003) and ReiserFS Version 3.6.25. The kernel's file descriptor limit is set to 8192. I used this command to configure Squid before compiling: % ./configure --enable-storeio=diskd,ufs,aufs,null,coss --with-aufs-threads=32 The Linux results are summarized in Table D-1, and Figure D-1 shows the traces. You can see that coss is the best performer, with aufs coming in second and diskd third. As I'm writing this, coss is an experimental feature and not necessarily suitable for a production system. In the long run, you'll probably be better off with aufs.
Figure D-1. Linux filesystem benchmarking tracesNote that the noatime option gives a significant boost in performance to aufs. The throughput jumps from 110 to 168 transactions per second with the addition of this mount option. Linux also has an async option, but it is enabled by default. I did not run any tests with async disabled. Of the many filesystem choices, ext2fs seems to give the best performance. ext3fs (ext2 plus journaling) is only slightly lower, followed by xfs, and reiserfs. |

Spring 2017
This project is ongoing and documented in more detail in this series of blog posts.
The live version of the prototype can be found here.
In tabletop roleplaying games such as Dungeons & Dragons, a game master (GM) or dungeon master (DM) leads 1–6 players on a story-based adventure. Game masters are responsible for preparing and knowing the details of the adventure, so they often run or adapt pre-existing content.
Hundreds of official adventures have been published over the game's 40-year history, and many are available for purchase or download. Unfortunately, only a small subset of them are compatible with the ruleset, general feel, player level, and constraints of each individual GM’s campaign, and there is no easy way to tell if an adventure will meet their criteria based on the available descriptions.
To tackle this problem, I set out to design an adventure database that would make it easier for game masters to find existing adventures, evaluate their suitability, and save or adapt content they would find useful.
After conducting competitor analysis, I posted a small questionnaire to several tabletop RPG subreddits, inviting comments on how game masters dealt with existing adventures. I received dozens of responses, some extremely detailed, that helped me define the problem more precisely.
It appears that while searching for suitable adventures is important, that requirement is more relaxed than I originally thought. Game masters adapt and rewrite huge sections of existing adventures they are running, until only the major plot points or locations remain. They also look to existing adventures for inspiration, browsing and filing away neat ideas for the future, although they have no good mechanisms for archiving and annotating such ideas.
Therefore, an adventure database should support not only search, but also serendipitous discovery, browsing, and archiving of adventures and sub-adventure components (e.g., characters, plot points, locations).
A barebones functional prototype for my solution is available here. It was created with front-end JavaScript using jQuery, the Skeleton CSS boilerplate, and icons from Font Awesome.

Haskey: User-defined schemas, monad transformers and future work
In this blog post we present the features we’ve added to Haskey during the last weeks of the Summer of Haskell project. These features include user-defined schemas, multi-table support and a monad transformer that supports Haskey transactions.
-
Here we have a constructor Foo which contains a value. We don’t statically know the type of the contained value, but we do know it has the type classes
Typeable
(so we can at runtime switch on its type) andBinary
(so we can serialise it). But how can we deserialise it? -
Now, let’s talk about the past summer. We are extremely pleased that many students were able to complete their projects successfully. Other students were not able to meet the goals they set initially, but despite that the students were still able to make valuable and impressive contributions to both the projects and the ecosystem as a whole.

Cryptographic hashing in Haskell
Seeing how all the pieces fit together is difficult from just the API docs, especially understanding where an explicit type signature will be necessary. This post will give a quick overview of the pieces you’ll want to be interacting with simple, runnable examples.
-
In celebration of the recently released
inline-java-0.7.0
, this post is a tutorial on how to use it all. We cover the marshalling of values between Haskell and Java and how we leverage the type checker to ensure that neither sides disagree on what types arguments and return values should have. -
In order to help us design these courses, we developed a tool called
visualize-cbn
. It is a simple interpreter for a mini Haskell-like language which outputs the state of the program at every step in a human readable format. -
Transforming data structures into types: An introduction to dependent typing and its benefits
Today’s post is not a extensive show-off of the capabilities of Idris. Instead, it is inspired from a real and recent use case, in which I wish I had a dependently typed language to support me.
-
apecs
tutorial: An RTS-like gameIn this tutorial we’ll take a look at how to write a simple RTS-like game using
apecs
. We’ll be using SDL2 for graphics. Don’t worry if you don’t know SDL2, neither do I. -
Free me: Exploring the Free data type
What I wanted to do for myself was explore Free from first principles and implement some core functionality from the ground up to see how things work under the hood. This post is about what happened when I did this.

EXC_CRASH (Code Signature Invalid) indicates the operating system terminated the process because of problems related to code signing.
DiscussionThe crash could have occured because the application is using invalid entitlements or the code signing identity is incompatible with the running environment.


Babar is designed to use nested sampling (a Bayesian analysis technique) to compare possible models for bacterial growth curves, as well as extracting parameters. It allows model evidence and parameter likelihood values to be extracted, and also contains helper functions for comparing distributions as well as direct access to the underlying nested sampling code.

Back at home after a great day back at work, I am starting to reflect about Wednesday and Thursday at the Nokia Idea Generation Workshop. What an amazing two days. Nokia made sure that all our needs were cared for, to be able to fully concentrate on the work shop. The St. Martin’s Lane Hotel was amazing and a challenge to the senses, and this was followed by a very good dinner in the beautiful setting of the Sketch Restaurant. With some great wine, and Mojitos later at the St. Martin Lane’s bar, the evening was full of great conversations on and off-topic.

The thing is that the crowd was wonderful and everybody wanted to stay in contact afterwards. We were fortunate to have some amazing people from Nokia but also from very diverse fields in the location that helped having a free spirit and open discussions: 14 Henrietta Street.

Sadly there is not a lot more I can rave about as I can’t talk about the content, even though it wouldn’t be too interesting for all of you out there if you weren’t part of the talks to get there. Thanks go especially to Scott Hirsh who was a great facilitator, always being in the background and nudging us back on track if the excitement of one special subject got the better of us ;)

I do not want to single out any one person from the gang that was there, so I will leave it at that, other that I have to post about my new Nokia N810 soon, thanks, which is an amazing step forward from the Nokia N770 that I already have. I am really seeing myself using it, already have stuff like a last.fm clients, media system, ssh, skype, and others installed. But more on that in another post.

Thanks for challenging discussions, great insight, and listening to the world around you! Looking forward to the next meeting.

AAX SDK
2.3.1
Avid Audio Extensions Development Kit
|
Optional (but recommended) system for managing AAX plug-in parameters.
The Parameter Manager is a generic container for a plug-in's parameters, which constitute the complete externally-facing state of a plug-in's data model. Additional internal state data may be stored via settings chunks. The Parameter Manager is owned and operated by the plug-in's Data model interface.
The Parameter Manager provides a convenient and consistent interface by which a plug-in's data model implementation may access its parameters. Other plug-in components that require access to the data model may also use this interface, or a proxy of it, to view the current state of the plug-in.
In the Parameter Manager, implementation-specific parameter behaviors such as taper and display formatting are modular and are applied through delegation. Because of this model, it is possible to easily create a wide variety of behavior combinations without additional subclassing; any display behavior may be combined with any taper behavior, and a newly written behavior can be quickly "mixed in" to many parameters.
In AAX, parameter values can be represented in one of two "domains". Developers work with parameters in the real domain, while the host handles parameters in a scaled, normalized format.
For more information about conversion between parameter domains, see AAX_IParameter.
A taper is the conversion function that translates a parameter's value between its real and normalized forms.
For example, a taper could be created that converts between a normalized value ([0, 1]) and a real frequency value ranging from [20 2000]. The conversion between these two ranges could be linear or logarithmic, or could use any other desired mapping. This mapping, as well as the specific range of the possible logical values, is defined by the taper.
For more information about tapers in AAX, see AAX_ITaperDelegate.
In AAX, individual parameters achieve their own unique behavior by being associated with behavioral delegates.
For example, when AAX_CParameter::SetNormalizedValue() is called on a particular parameter through its AAX_IParameter interface, the AAX_CParameter calls into a AAX_ITaperDelegate that it owns in order to convert the normalized value to its real equivalent. This real value is then set as the parameter's new state.
For more information about how delegates are used to create a parameter's behavior see AAX_CParameter
AAX adheres roughly to a Model-View-Controller pattern. The Parameter Manager functions within the context of AAX_IEffectParameters, which in turn acts as an AAX plug-in's Data Model in an MVC sense. Views, such as the plug-in's GUI, attached control surfaces, or the automation facilities in the AAX host, are given access to the Data Model via a central Controller, which is represented by the AAX_IController interface.
For more information about how MVC applies to AAX, see the Data model interface documentation page.

i'm not sure if this matters. I ran KMDice from cli about a week ago, then shut down the wallet. I've been mining KMDice on/off since. I just now downloaded the 43b agama wallet. I'm just now syncing the KMDice native wallet. I'm seeing that all the mining rewards are coming in dated as right now, instead of the dates that I mined them.
I also seem to be stuck on block 9172...

Mystery Men (PG-13) ** 1/2 Starring William H. Macy, Ben Stiller Directed by Kinka Usher A Review by Frankie Paiva
Mystery Men was supposed to be one of the biggest box office draws of the summer. It had a hip cast, (get this cast list: Hank Azaria, Janeane Garofalo, William H. Macy, Kel Mitchell, Paul Reubens, Ben Stiller, Wes Studi, Greg Kinnear, Lena Olin, Geoffrey Rush, Tom Waits, Eddie Izzard, and Pras just to name a few) an interesting premise, and great special effects, but somewhere in the midst, someone had forgotten about the script.
Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear) is losing his superhero pop deal with Pepsi, he's almost wiped out all of the crime in the city and is losing publicity fast. What he needs is one of his old evil villains to battle with, the only one still alive is Cassanova Frankenstein (Geoffrey Rush) and he releases him immediately. But Cassanova is smart, and soon captures Amazing and holds him in his mansion of evil.
Enter Mr. Furious, (Stiller) the Shoveler, (H. Macy) and the Blue Raja, (Hank Azaria) they are your b-movie type superheros. They go around each night and try to protect the citizens of Champion City from extreme evil. When their idol Captain Amazing is captured, they soon make it their quest to rescue him before the entire city is blown to a pulp. They hold superhero auditions for more people to join their gang and go to an old carnival where a man sells lots of weird weapons.
 The performances are surprisingly mediocre with only Rush and Garofolo standing out from the crowd. It's also full of characters that we are supposed to find amusing that come off more annoying than funny. Universal put $68 million into the picture, and so far it's only made about $25 million, and it's probably not going to make $35 million either. While well cast, Mystery Men can't make the cut, so it gets **1/2 stars.
The Young-Uns: The film contains a scene of someone's eyeballs and face being disoriented and burning (it's not that bad) it also contains some gross humor and language. Good Age: 9 & Up

Data preprocessing:¶
We’re not going to do anything fancy here:
First I’ll transform the skewed numeric features by taking log(feature + 1) - this will make the features more normal
Create Dummy variables for the categorical features
Replace the numeric missing values (NaN’s) with the mean of their respective columns
matplotlib.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (12.0, 6.0)
prices = pd.DataFrame({"price":train["SalePrice"], "log(price + 1)":np.log1p(train["SalePrice"])})
prices.hist()
array([[<matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot object at 0x7f7ed9a59ba8>,
<matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot object at 0x7f7ed99f30f0>]],
dtype=object)
#log transform the target:
train["SalePrice"] = np.log1p(train["SalePrice"])
#log transform skewed numeric features:
numeric_feats = all_data.dtypes[all_data.dtypes != "object"].index
skewed_feats = train[numeric_feats].apply(lambda x: skew(x.dropna())) #compute skewness
skewed_feats = skewed_feats[skewed_feats > 0.75]
skewed_feats = skewed_feats.index
all_data[skewed_feats] = np.log1p(all_data[skewed_feats])
all_data = pd.get_dummies(all_data)
#filling NA's with the mean of the column:
all_data = all_data.fillna(all_data.mean())
#creating matrices for sklearn:
X_train = all_data[:train.shape[0]]
X_test = all_data[train.shape[0]:]
y = train.SalePrice
X_train.shape
(1460, 288)
Models¶
Now we are going to use regularized linear regression models from the scikit learn module. I’m going to try both l_1(Lasso) and l_2(Ridge) regularization. I’ll also define a function that returns the cross-validation rmse error so we can evaluate our models and pick the best tuning par
from sklearn.linear_model import Ridge, RidgeCV, ElasticNet, LassoCV, LassoLarsCV
from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score
def rmse_cv(model):
rmse= np.sqrt(-cross_val_score(model, X_train, y, scoring="neg_mean_squared_error", cv = 5))
return(rmse)
model_ridge = Ridge()
The main tuning parameter for the Ridge model is alpha - a regularization parameter that measures how flexible our model is. The higher the regularization the less prone our model will be to overfit. However it will also lose flexibility and might not capture all of the signal in the data.
alphas = [0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 50, 75]
cv_ridge = [rmse_cv(Ridge(alpha = alpha)).mean()
for alpha in alphas]
cv_ridge = pd.Series(cv_ridge, index = alphas)
cv_ridge.plot(title = "Validation - Just Do It")
plt.xlabel("alpha")
plt.ylabel("rmse")
Text(0, 0.5, 'rmse')
Note the U-ish shaped curve above. When alpha is too large the regularization is too strong and the model cannot capture all the complexities in the data. If however we let the model be too flexible (alpha small) the model begins to overfit. A value of alpha = 10 is about right based on the plot above.
cv_ridge.min()
0.12733734668670757
So for the Ridge regression we get a rmsle of about 0.127
Let’ try out the Lasso model. We will do a slightly different approach here and use the built in Lasso CV to figure out the best alpha for us. For some reason the alphas in Lasso CV are really the inverse or the alphas in Ridge.
model_lasso = LassoCV(alphas = [1, 0.1, 0.001, 0.0005]).fit(X_train, y)

Nice! The lasso performs even better so we’ll just use this one to predict on the test set. Another neat thing about the Lasso is that it does feature selection for you - setting coefficients of features it deems unimportant to zero. Let’s take a look at the coefficients:
coef = pd.Series(model_lasso.coef_, index = X_train.columns)
print("Lasso picked " + str(sum(coef != 0)) + " variables and eliminated the other " + str(sum(coef == 0)) + " variables")
Lasso picked 111 variables and eliminated the other 177 variables
Good job Lasso. One thing to note here however is that the features selected are not necessarily the “correct” ones - especially since there are a lot of collinear features in this dataset. One idea to try here is run Lasso a few times on boostrapped samples and see how stable the feature selection is.
We can also take a look directly at what the most important coefficients are:
imp_coef = pd.concat([coef.sort_values().head(10),
coef.sort_values().tail(10)])
matplotlib.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (8.0, 10.0)
imp_coef.plot(kind = "barh")
plt.title("Coefficients in the Lasso Model")
Text(0.5, 1.0, 'Coefficients in the Lasso Model')
The most important positive feature is GrLivArea
- the above ground area by area square feet. This definitely sense. Then a few other location and quality features contributed positively. Some of the negative features make less sense and would be worth looking into more - it seems like they might come from unbalanced categorical variables.
Also note that unlike the feature importance you’d get from a random forest these are actual coefficients in your model - so you can say precisely why the predicted price is what it is. The only issue here is that we log_transformed both the target and the numeric features so the actual magnitudes are a bit hard to interpret.
#let's look at the residuals as well:
matplotlib.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (6.0, 6.0)
preds = pd.DataFrame({"preds":model_lasso.predict(X_train), "true":y})
preds["residuals"] = preds["true"] - preds["preds"]
preds.plot(x = "preds", y = "residuals",kind = "scatter")
'c' argument looks like a single numeric RGB or RGBA sequence, which should be avoided as value-mapping will have precedence in case its length matches with 'x' & 'y'. Please use a 2-D array with a single row if you really want to specify the same RGB or RGBA value for all points.
<matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f7ed1540978>
The residual plot looks pretty good.To wrap it up let’s predict on the test set and submit on the leaderboard:
Adding an xgboost model:¶
Let’s add an xgboost model to our linear model to see if we can improve our score. We might need to install if not running on colab.
!conda install -c conda-forge -y xgboost
import xgboost as xgb
dtrain = xgb.DMatrix(X_train, label = y)
dtest = xgb.DMatrix(X_test)
params = {"max_depth":2, "eta":0.1}
model = xgb.cv(params, dtrain, num_boost_round=500, early_stopping_rounds=100)
model.loc[30:,["test-rmse-mean", "train-rmse-mean"]].plot()
<matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f7ecea25d30>
model_xgb = xgb.XGBRegressor(n_estimators=360, max_depth=2, learning_rate=0.1) #the params were tuned using xgb.cv
model_xgb.fit(X_train, y)
XGBRegressor(base_score=0.5, booster='gbtree', colsample_bylevel=1,
colsample_bytree=1, gamma=0, learning_rate=0.1, max_delta_step=0,
max_depth=2, min_child_weight=1, missing=None, n_estimators=360,
n_jobs=1, nthread=None, objective='reg:linear', random_state=0,
reg_alpha=0, reg_lambda=1, scale_pos_weight=1, seed=None,
silent=True, subsample=1)
xgb_preds = np.expm1(model_xgb.predict(X_test))
lasso_preds = np.expm1(model_lasso.predict(X_test))
predictions = pd.DataFrame({"xgb":xgb_preds, "lasso":lasso_preds})
predictions.plot(x = "xgb", y = "lasso", kind = "scatter")
'c' argument looks like a single numeric RGB or RGBA sequence, which should be avoided as value-mapping will have precedence in case its length matches with 'x' & 'y'. Please use a 2-D array with a single row if you really want to specify the same RGB or RGBA value for all points.
<matplotlib.axes._subplots.AxesSubplot at 0x7f7ece2e7cf8>
Create an Ensemble Model¶
Many times it makes sense to take a weighted average of uncorrelated results - this usually imporoves the score although in this case it doesn’t help that much.
preds = 0.7*lasso_preds + 0.3*xgb_preds
solution = pd.DataFrame({"id":test.Id, "SalePrice":preds})
solution.to_csv("ridge_sol.csv", index = False)


| DOSE: |
5.5 mg |
oral |
DON |
(liquid) |
| |
repeated |
smoked |
Cannabis |
(plant material) |
Setting: at home
Dose: ~5.5mg
Time: around midnight
So, after a day of light drinking I came home and decided to try DON again. I had wanted to try this again since my previous attempt (with ~3.5mg) barely achieved what I would consider a +2 on the Shulgin scale. I had gotten minor (except for one instance that lasted about 3 seconds) visuals and an obvious stimulation the whole time, but I never really 'broke through,' so to speak.
So this time I had decided on a dose of ~4.5mg. as I am measuring my dose out of the vial with a syringe, the unthinkable happens: I drop it on the floor luckily for me a) my floor is clean, and b) I missed the carpet. so I busy myself with sucking up the piss-yellow liquid from the floor with an eyedropper. I manage to recover about 5.5mg, and so I decide that will be my dose. I had eaten about 1.5 - 2 hours previously.
About 30-45 minutes later I feel myself leaving baseline. I feel a familiar stimulation, not unlike an amphetamine high. It's not unpleasant, but at the same time not entirely pleasant, but stimulants aren't my favorite class of drugs most days. my blood pressure is a bit elevated, and my heart rate is about double normal but nowhere near what I would consider dangerous.
Skip forward an hour or so. I am now definitely tripping and getting the same type of colorful fractal shifting I remember from my DOB trip (as well as numerous 2c-b trips), only nowhere near the intensity. The stimulation is starting to annoy me though, so I decide to smoke a bit of pot to chill out a bit. this turns out to be a good call. It eliminates most of my nausea and kicks the visuals up a notch, and best of all, calms my nerves a bit - I had even had trouble loading a bowl to smoke because my hands were shaking too much. A little shaking is normal for me, but this was to a higher degree than that, but it may also have been caused by not having had proper meals for a couple days. Mental effects are slight 'trip-type' thoughts. this is not something I would consider introspective at all.
Skip forward another hour or two. I seem to have peaked. The annoying stimulation seems to come and go in waves. Whenever it's there I have a touch of nausea, whenever it's not there I have a great body rush. At this point I consider a small dose of 2c-b, but decide that it would be a bit of overkill and smoke another bowl instead. my hands are still shaking a bit, blood pressure still up, heart rate still up. I am overwhelmingly hungry. I normally don't get hungry on psychedelics - the DOx series seems to differ from the norm in that respect. however, while I am hungry, eating seems like it would be too much of a chore, so I wait until later.
After a couple hours at plateau I start to come down, which is relatively uneventful. I am feeling pretty cracked out by now - it's about 7AM and I haven't slept since about 11AM the previous day. My heart rate is starting to slow down a bit, but I still have that 'I was up on a stimulant' type headspace. I smoke a final bowl and the feeling goes away long enough for me to fall asleep.
All in all while I would like to try a higher dose again, the level of uncomfortable amphetamine 'pushiness' was just a little too much at this dose, and I don't see it diminishing if I were to take more. It's a bit of a moot point anyway, as I don't see anymore finding me.

Yes, this is the usual approach for interfacing with the Mercury trail.
The question is whether it is likely to be feasible for gecode, and
whether there is a better way to do it.

I am a bit unclear exactly what you meant by your previous description.
I.e. who is is responsible for each of the steps you mention (create
choice point and return cpi, check for failure, go back to a cpi)?

That is likely to be quite expensive, I think. It would require
scanning that list of variables to determine which ones have goals
delayed on them. Peter Stuckey's idea is to add a special kind of
"propagator" which is responsible for calling the goals. Is that
approach likely to work?

To use the build-in libraries you need to use a value function (see tour 3) for the "value"
entry.
Here we read in the current value of the input
field. We do that because we want to append to the current value.
Here you see the call to change.js
All libraries are available under the Libs
namespace.
This call to chance.name()
returns a new random name.
By returning the current plus the random value we tell Form-O-Fill to fill the input
field with that combination.
All available methods callable on Lib.chance
are documented on the chance.js site (opens in a new tab).
Here we return the current date plus seven days and fill the input type=date
field with it.
As with chance.js the methods that moment.js has to offer are documented on their site.
There is more to libraries in Form-O-Fill. You can even define your own libraries to make common functions available in multiple rules.
That will be the topic of another tutorial. Until then, have fun!

Organizing Wedding Events are part of our passion. We take care of all types of wedding events let it be Christian, Hindu, Muslim or even theme based.
Organizing Parties are also part of our work. We take care of all types of Party & Events, which includes B-day Party, Wedding anniversary, Get-together's, Sent-off's,etc. Any Queries regarding these?
Organizing Shows,Fest & concerts are another area of our expertise. We have experience organizing Fest's and Concerts. Any needs including the Light's & Sound Engineering divisions, dont worry..
Organising Corporate Events includes the setting up of a perfect environment for formal and confidential meetings. Any needs regarding the same then dont forget..
Organising Product launches include the management of Events related to the launch of a new product. A Product, let it be anything dont forget..
It all started with our friendship from Rajagiri. We were a group of B-Tech peeps who were looking for a change. So there came an idea of Event management & Started to work for our first project, which was a stage show for JY(Jesus Youth) Event @ Rajagiri.
After the success of the JY event our team planed to start a new venture and there marked the birth of TRIO Events. It was just the begining and we had to do more background study to launch this venture in full swing.
By November we had more than 2-3 Events to prepare for and that included a Wedding Event and 2 B-day Parties. All these Events were great success which increased our confidence and made us realise that our decisions were right.
We had undergone a restructuring in our Technical wing inorder to add more colours to TRIO and make it fly high. Our official website was launched as a part of this initiative.

Want to get in touch?


A Host component represents a "virtual host" that is running in an instance of Catalina, possibly in conjunction with many other virtual hosts. Each virtual host can be running one or more web applications, each represented by a Context component.
In order for a client, such as a web browser, to successfully send a request to a web application running in a particular virtual host, the client must specify a hostname that is mapped, in the Domain Name Service (DNS) to the server that Catalina is running on, and a port number on which you have defined a Connector to be listening.
You must define at least one Host component nested inside
each Engine element. Typically, this Host will be
named localhost
, and will be declared as the default host for
the owning Engine.
Request processing Valves that are nested here will be executed for every request received for processing by this virtual host.
All implementations of the Host component support the following attributes:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
appBase |
The "application base" directory for this virtual host. This is
the pathname of a directory that may contain web applications to
be executed in this virtual host. You may specify an absolute
pathname to this directory, or a pathname that is relative to the
"Catalina Home" directory. If not specified, the default value
(webapps ) will be used. See the
Special Features section, below,
for information about Automatic Application Deployment support
provided by the standard Host implementation.
|
className |
Java class name of the implementation to use. This class must
implement the org.apache.catalina.Host interface. If
no class name is specified, the standard implementation will be
used (org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHost ).
|
name |
The host name of this virtual host. This name must match the
name submitted on the Host: header in incoming
requests. This attribute is required, and must be unique among
the virtual hosts running in this servlet container. Note that
hostname matching is not case sensitive.
|
The standard implementation of the Host component also supports the following attributes:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
debug |
The level of debugging detail logged by this Host to the associated Logger, with higher numbers generating more detailed output. If not specified, the debugging detail level will be set to zero (0). |
unpackWARs |
Set to true if you want web applications that are deployed
from a Web Application Archive (WAR) file to be unpacked into a disk
directory structure (as was done in Tomcat 3.x), or false
to run the application directly from the WAR file. If not specified,
the default value is true for backwards compatibility.
|
You can attach one or more of the following utility components by nesting a corresponding declaration inside your Host element. Unless overridden by a utility component of the same name being nested in a Context element, the utility components you declare here will be shared among all web applications running in this Host:
When you run a web server, one of the output files normally generated is an access log, which generates one line of information, in a standard format, for each HTTP request that was received, and responded to, by the web server. Catalina includes an optional Valve implementation that can create access logs in the same standard format created by web servers, or in any custom format desired.
You can ask Catalina to create an access log for all requests to any web application for this Host, by nesting an element like this inside your Host element:
<Host name="localhost" ...> ... <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.AccessLogValve" prefix="localhost_access_log." suffix=".txt" pattern="common"/> ... </Host>
See Access Log Valve for more information on the configuration options that are supported.
If you are using the standard Host implementation,
the following actions take place automatically when Catalina is first
started. All processing takes place in the application base directory
configured by the appBase
property.
No special configuration is required to enable these activities.
appBase
directory that appears
to be an unpacked web application (i.e. it contains a
WEB-INF/web.xml
file), receives an automatically generated
Context element, even if this directory is
not specifically mentioned in the conf/server.xml
file.
The context path for this application will be a slash character ("/")
followed by the directory name, unless the directory name is
ROOT
, in which case the context path will be "" (the
empty string).The net effect of this feature is that you need not specifically mention
your web applications in the conf/server.xml
file unless you wish
to define non-default properties for the corresponding
Context.
In many server environments, the system administrator has set up more than one host name in the Domain Name Service (DNS) entries for a company, and you would like all of these names to access the same Host component (and therefore execute the same web applications), no matter which host name was actually used in the request.
As an example of this, consider that many web sites are set up so that
hostnames www.mycompany.com
and mycompany.com
go to the same pages. You can accomplish this with Catalina by setting
up your server configuration like this:
<Host name="www.mycompany.com" ...> ... <Alias name="mycompany.com"/> ... </Host>
With this setup, both of the following URLs will resolve to the same web application (assuming your Connector is listening on port 8080):
http://mycompany.com:8080 http://www.mycompany.com:8080
If you have implemented a Java object that needs to know when this
Host is started or stopped, you can declare it by nesting a
<Listener>
element inside the <Host>
element. The class you specify in the className
attribute
of this Listener must implement the
org.apache.catalina.LifecycleListener
interface, and it will be
notified about the occurrence of the corresponding lifecycle events.
Configuration for such a listener might look like this:
<Host name="www.mycompany.com" ...> ... <Listener className="com.mycompany.MyHostListener"/> ... </Host>
You can ask Catalina to check the IP address, or host name, of an incoming request for this virtual host against a list of "accept" and "deny" filters, which are defined using the Regular Expression syntax supported by the jakarta-regexp regular expression library system. Requests that come from remote locations that are not accepted will be rejected with an HTTP "Forbidden" error. Example filter declarations:
<Host name="localhost" ...> ... <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteHostValve" allow="*.mycompany.com,www.yourcompany.com"/> <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" deny="192.168.1.*" ... </Host>
See Remote Address Filter or Remote Host Filter for more information on the syntax of these filters, and the logic that is applied when they are executed.
Many web servers automtically map a request path starting with a
tilde character ("~") and a username to a directory (commonly named
public_html
) in that user's home directory on the server.
You can accomplish this with Catalina by setting up your server
configuration like this (on a Unix system that uses the
/etc/passwd
file to configure valid users):
<Host name="www.mycompany.com" ...> ... <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig" directoryName="public_html" userClass="org.apache.catalina.startup.PasswdUserDatabase"/> ... </Host>
On a server where /etc/passwd
is not in use, but one or
more user home directories can be found in a common base directory (such
as c:\Homes
), you could do this instead:
<Host name="www.mycompany.com" ...> ... <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.startup.UserConfig" directoryName="public_html" homeBase="c:\Homes" userClass="org.apache.catalina.startup.HomesUserDatabase"/> ... </Host>
It is also acceptable to include more than one instance of this listener, if you have more than one home base directory containing user home directories. In all cases, the Context that is set up for user directories will have default values, just as is the case for Automatic Application Deployment, described above.
With either setup, if my username on the server is craigmcc
,
and I have a web application installed in a public_html
subdirectory under my home directory, my application will receive all
requests directed to:
http://www.mycompany.com:8080/~craigmcc
assuming my Connector is listening on port 8080.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The operating system username under which Catalina is executed must have read access to the user's web application, and all directories above it, for this feature to operate correctly.


Nouakchott, Mauritania
Galerie Zeinart
The quaint gallery displays works by artists from all across Mauritania.
by Max CortesiGalerie Zeinart is a place where local artists can showcase their work to a large audience. The place itself is relatively small, an L-shaped room of no more than 500 square feet in total, but the quality of the art on display is impressive.
At regular intervals, the place is packed with artwork by artists from all over Mauritania. Notable examples include Mamadou Anne, with his signature animals surfacing from semi-abstract works, making a powerful statement about the impact of contemporary life on the planet; Désirée Trotha, the creator of photographic chronicles of Nouakchott; or Nancy Abeiderrahmane, who captures glimpses of desert life and its subtle colors on canvas. Interestingly, the artists whose work is on display are usually present at Zeinart, eager to talk to visitors.
The gallery offers more than temporary exhibitions, as some jewelry, ornaments, masks, and other artifacts produced locally are on permanent display and available for sale. Outside the gates of Zeinart’s serene manicured garden, the bustle of Nouakchott continues, as if it were a different planet.

If you are meat eater, you should surely check this out. Be warned, its a little disturbing, but *true*.
Also what you need to know about Livestock Farming/Breeding and it's effects on the environment you have to check these links:
http://www.nrdc.org/water/pollution/ffarms.asp
http://www.nrdc.org/water/pollution/nspills.asp
Google for Livestock pollution and you would get plenty of matching results.
EAT Healthy and natural Food, and save the environment.
Do your bit.

Computes softmax cross entropy between logits
and labels
.
tf.compat.v2.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits
tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits( labels, logits, axis=-1, name=None )
Measures the probability error in discrete classification tasks in which the classes are mutually exclusive (each entry is in exactly one class). For example, each CIFAR-10 image is labeled with one and only one label: an image can be a dog or a truck, but not both.
NOTE: While the classes are mutually exclusive, their probabilities
need not be. All that is required is that each row of labels
is
a valid probability distribution. If they are not, the computation of the
gradient will be incorrect.
If using exclusive labels
(wherein one and only
one class is true at a time), see sparse_softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits
.
WARNING: This op expects unscaled logits, since it performs a softmax
on logits
internally for efficiency. Do not call this op with the
output of softmax
, as it will produce incorrect results.
A common use case is to have logits and labels of shape
[batch_size, num_classes]
, but higher dimensions are supported, with
the axis
argument specifying the class dimension.
logits
and labels
must have the same dtype (either float16
, float32
,
or float64
).
Backpropagation will happen into both logits
and labels
. To disallow
backpropagation into labels
, pass label tensors through tf.stop_gradient
before feeding it to this function.
Note that to avoid confusion, it is required to pass only named arguments to this function.
labels
: Each vector along the class dimension should hold a valid
probability distribution e.g. for the case in which labels are of shape
[batch_size, num_classes]
, each row of labels[i]
must be a valid
probability distribution.logits
: Per-label activations, typically a linear output. These activation
energies are interpreted as unnormalized log probabilities.axis
: The class dimension. Defaulted to -1 which is the last dimension.name
: A name for the operation (optional).A Tensor
that contains the softmax cross entropy loss. Its type is the
same as logits
and its shape is the same as labels
except that it does
not have the last dimension of labels
.

WATCH: MDC defied police advice
by Staff reporterActing Foreign Affairs and International Trade Minister July Moyo says the opposition MDC Alliance party was advised to hold their political rally outside Harare's Central Business District (CBD) area when they made an application to the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) who have the mandate to maintain peace and security in the country.
According to the ZRP, the MDC agreed to withdraw their event but the party later breached the agreement when they proceeded with the rally in the heart of the CBD without notifying the police.
