Using synapseclient with R through reticulate
This article describes using the Python synapseclient with R through the reticulate package, which provides an interface between R and Python libraries.
While the separate synapser R package exists and can be installed directly in an R environment without the need for reticulate, it is not currently compatible with an R environment that already includes reticulate. In such cases using the Python synapseclient is an alternative.
Installation
Installing reticulate
This article assumes that reticulate is installed and available in your R environment. If not it can be installed as follows:
install.packages("reticulate")
Installing synapseclient
The Python synapseclient can be installed either directly into the Python installation you intend to use with reticulate or from within R using the reticulate library.
synapseclient has the same requirements and dependencies when installed for use with reticulate as it does in other usage. In particular note that synapseclient requires a Python version of 3.6 or greater.
Installing into Python
The Python synapseclient is available on the PyPi package repository and can be installed through Python tools that interface with the repository, such as pip. To install synapseclient for use with reticulate directly into a Python environment, first ensure that the current Python interpreter is the one you intend to use with reticulate. This may be a particular installation of Python, or a loaded virtual environment. See reticulate’s Python version configuration documentation for more information on how reticulate can be configured to use particular Python environments.
For help installing a reticulate compatible Python, see the reticulate version of the SynapseShinyApp.
Once you have ensured you are interacting with your intended Python interpreter, follow the standard synapseclient installation instructions to install synapseclient.
Installing from R/Reticulate
To install synapseclient from within R, first ensure that the reticulate library is loaded.
library(reticulate)
Once loaded, ensure that reticulate will use the Python installation you intend. You may need to provide reticulate a hint or otherwise point it at the proper Python installation.
Next install the synapseclient using reticulate’s py_install command, e.g.
py_install("synapseclient")
You may also want to install some of synapseclient’s optional dependencies, such as Pandas for table support.
py_install("pandas")
See synapseclient’s installation instructions for more information on optional dependencies.
Usage
Once synapseclient is installed it can be used once it is imported through R’s import command:
synapseclient <- import("synapseclient")
If you are using synapseclient with reticulate when writing an R package, you will want to wrap the import in an onLoad and use the delay_load option, .e.g.
synapseclient <- NULL .onLoad <- function(libname, pkgname) { synapseclient <<- reticulate::import("synapseclient", delay_load = TRUE) }
This will allow users of your package to configure their reticulate usage properly regardless of when they load your package. More information on this technique can be found here.
If you are familiar with the synapser R package, many of the commands will be similar, but unlike in synapser where package functions and classes are made available in the global namespace through the search path, when using synapseclient through reticulate, classes are accessed through the imported synapseclient module and functionality is provided through an instantiated Synapse instance.
For example classes that were globally available are now available through the imported synapseclient module.
# File from synapser synapseclient$File # Table from synapser synapseclient$Table
And various syn functions are now methods on the Synapse object:
# using synapseclient with reticulate we must instantiate a Synapse instance syn <- synapseclient$Synapse() # synLogin from synapser syn$login() # synGet from synapser syn$get(identifier) # synStore from syanpser syn$store(entity)
Each synapse object has its own state, such as configuration and login credentials.
Credentials
synapseclient accessed through reticulate supports the same authentication options as it does when accessed directly from Python, for example:
syn <- synapseclient$synapse() # one time login syn$login('<username', '<password>') # login and store credentials for future use syn$login('<username', '<password>', rememberMe=TRUE)
See Managing Synapse Credentials for complete documentation on how synapseclient handles credentials and authentication.
Accessing Data
The following illustrates some examples of storing and retrieving data in Synapse using synapseclient through reticulate.
See here for more details on available data access APIs.
Create a project with a unique name
# use hex_digits to generate random string and use it to name a project hex_digits <- c(as.character(0:9), letters[1:6]) projectName <- sprintf("My unique project %s", paste0(sample(hex_digits, 32, replace = TRUE), collapse = "")) project <- synapseclient$Project(projectName) project <- syn$store(project)
Create, store, and retrieve a file
filePath <- tempfile() connection <- file(filePath) writeChar("a \t b \t c \n d \t e \t f \n", connection, eos = NULL) close(connection) file <- synapseclient$File(path = filePath, parent = project) file <- syn$store(file) synId <- file$properties$id # download the file using its identifier to specific path fileEntity <- syn$get(synId, downloadLocation="/path/to/folder") # view the file meta data in the console print(fileEntity) # view the file on the web syn$onweb(synId)
Create folder and add files to the folder:
dataFolder <- synapseclient$Folder("Data", parent = project) dataFolder <- syn$store(dataFolder) filePath <- tempfile() connection <- file(filePath) writeChar("this is the content of the file", connection, eos = NULL) close(connection) file <- synapseclient$File(path = filePath, parent = dataFolder) file <- syn$store(file)
Annotating Synapse Entities
This illustrates adding annotations to a Synapse entity.
# first retrieve the existing annotations object annotations <- syn$get_annotations(project) annotations$foo <- "bar" annotations$fooList <- list("bar", "baz") syn$set_annotations(annotations)
See here for more information on annotations.
Provenance
This example illustrates creating an entity with associated provenance.
See here for more information on Provenance related APIs.
act <- synapseclient$Activity( name = "clustering", description = "whizzy clustering", used = c("syn1234", "syn1235"), executed = "syn4567")filePath <- tempfile() connection <- file(filePath) writeChar("some test", connection, eos = NULL) close(connection) file = synapseclient$File(filePath, name="provenance_file.txt", parent=project) file <- syn$store(file, activity = act)
Tables
These examples illustrate manipulating Synapse Tables. Note that you must have installed the Pandas dependency into the Python environment as described above in order to use this feature.
See here for more information on tables.
The following illustrates building a table from an R data frame. The schema will be generated from the data types of the values within the data frame.
# start with an R data frame genes <- data.frame( Name = c("foo", "arg", "zap", "bah", "bnk", "xyz"), Chromosome = c(1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1), Start = c(12345, 20001, 30033, 40444, 51234, 61234), End = c(126000, 20200, 30999, 41444, 54567, 68686), Strand = c("+", "+", "-", "-", "+", "+"), TranscriptionFactor = c(F, F, F, F, T, F)) # build a Synapse table from the data frame. # a schema is automatically generated # note that reticulate will automatically convert from an R data frame to Pandas table <- synapseclient$build_table("My Favorite Genes", project, genes) table <- syn$store(table)
Alternately the schema can be specified. At this time when using date values it is necessary to use a date string formatted in “YYYY-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.mmm” format or integer unix epoch millisecond value and explicitly specify the type in the schema due to how dates are translated to the Python client.
prez_birthdays <- data.frame( Name = c("George Washington", "Thomas Jefferson", "Abraham Lincoln"), Time = c("1732-02-22 11:23:11.024", "1743-04-13 00:00:00.000", "1809-02-12 01:02:03.456")) cols <- list( synapseclient$Column(name = "Name", columnType = "STRING", maximumSize = 20), synapseclient$Column(name = "Time", columnType = "DATE")) schema <- synapseclient$Schema(name = "President Birthdays", columns = cols, parent = project) table <- synapseclient$Table(schema, prez_birthdays) # store the table in Synapse table <- syn$store(table)
We can query a table as in the following:
tableId <- table$tableId results <- syn$tableQuery(sprintf("select * from %s where Name='George Washington'", tableId)) results$asDataFrame()
Wikis
This example illustrates creating a wiki.
See here for more information on wiki APIs.
content <- " # My Wiki Page Here is a description of my **fantastic** project! " # attachment filePath <- tempfile() connection <- file(filePath) writeChar("this is the content of the file", connection, eos = NULL) close(connection) wiki <- synapseclient$Wiki( owner = project, title = "My Wiki Page", markdown = content, attachments = list(filePath) ) wiki <- syn$store(wiki)
An existing wiki can be updated as follows.
wiki <- syn$getWiki(project) wiki$markdown <- " # My Wiki Page Here is a description of my **fantastic** project! Let's *emphasize* the important stuff. " wiki <- syn$store(wiki)
Evaluations
An Evaluation is a Synapse construct useful for building processing pipelines and for scoring predictive modeling and data analysis challenges.
See here for more information on Evaluations.
Creating an Evaluation:
eval <- synapseclient$Evaluation( name = sprintf("My unique evaluation created on %s", format(Sys.time(), "%a %b %d %H%M%OS4 %Y")), description = "testing", contentSource = project, submissionReceiptMessage = "Thank you for your submission!", submissionInstructionsMessage = "This evaluation only accepts files.") eval <- syn$store(eval) eval <- syn$getEvaluation(eval$id)
Submitting a file to an existing Evaluation:
# first create a file to submit filePath <- tempfile() connection <- file(filePath) writeChar("this is my first submission", connection, eos = NULL) close(connection) file <- synapseclient$File(path = filePath, parent = project) file <- syn$store(file) # submit the created file submission <- syn$submit(eval, file)
List submissions:
submissions <- syn$getSubmissionBundles(eval) # submissions are returned as a generator list(iterate(submissions))
Retrieving submission by id:
submission <- syn$getSubmission(submission$id)
Retrieving the submission status:
submissionStatus <- syn$getSubmissionStatus(submission) submissionStatus
Query an evaluation:
queryString <- sprintf("query=select * from evaluation_%s LIMIT %s OFFSET %s'", eval$id, 10, 0) syn$restGET(paste("/evaluation/submission/query?", URLencode(queryString), sep = ""))
Views
A view is a view of all entities (File, Folder, Project, Table, Docker Repository, View) within one or more Projects or Folders. Views can: The following examples illustrate some view operations.
See here for more information on Views. A view is implemented as a Table, see here for more information on Tables.
First create some files we can use in a view:
filePath1 <- tempfile() connection <- file(filePath1) writeChar("this is the content of the first file", connection, eos = NULL) close(connection) file1 <- synapseclient$File(path = filePath1, parent = project) file1 <- syn$store(file1) filePath2 <- tempfile() connection2 <- file(filePath2) writeChar("this is the content of the second file", connection, eos = NULL) close(connection2) file2 <- synapseclient$File(path = filePath2, parent = project) file2 <- syn$store(file2) # add some annotations fileAnnotations1 <- syn$get_annotations(file1) fileAnnotations2 <- syn$get_annotations(file2) fileAnnotations1$contributor <- "Sage" fileAnnotations1$class <- "V" syn$set_annotations(fileAnnotations1) fileAnnotations2$contributor = "UW" fileAnnotations2$rank = "X" syn$set_annotations(fileAnnotations2)
Now create a view:
columns = c( synapseclient$Column(name = "contributor", columnType = "STRING"), synapseclient$Column(name = "class", columnType = "STRING"), synapseclient$Column(name = "rank", columnType = "STRING") ) view <- synapseclient$EntityViewSchema( name = "my first file view", columns = columns, parent = project, scopes = project, includeEntityTypes = c(synapseclient$EntityViewType$FILE, synapseclient$EntityViewType$FOLDER), addDefaultViewColumns = TRUE ) view <- syn$store(view)
We can now see content of our view (note that views are not created synchronously it may take a few seconds for the view table to be queryable).
queryResults <- syn$tableQuery(sprintf("select * from %s", view$properties$id)) data <- queryResults$asDataFrame() data
We can update annotations using a view as follows:
data["class"] <- c("V", "VI") syn$store(synapseclient$Table(view$properties$id, data)) # the change in annotations is reflected in get_annotations(): syn$get_annotations(file2$properties$id)
Update View’s Content
A view can contain different types of entity. To change the types of entity that will show up in a view: view <- syn$get(view$properties$id) view$set_entity_types(list(synapseclient$EntityViewType$FILE))
Using with a Shiny App
Reticulate and the Python synapseclient can be used to workaround an issue that exists when using synapser with a Shiny App. Since synapser shares a Synapse client instance within the R process, multiple users of a synapser integrated Shiny App may end up sharing a login if precautions aren’t taken. When using reticulate with synapseclient, session scoped Synapse client objects can be created that avoid this issue.
See SynapseShinyApp for a sample application and a discussion of the issue, and the reticulate branch for an alternative implementation using reticulate with synapseclient.


TextItem¶
-
class
pyqtgraph.
TextItem
(text='', color=(200, 200, 200), html=None, anchor=(0, 0), border=None, fill=None, angle=0, rotateAxis=None)[source]¶ GraphicsItem displaying unscaled text (the text will always appear normal even inside a scaled ViewBox).
-
__init__
(text='', color=(200, 200, 200), html=None, anchor=(0, 0), border=None, fill=None, angle=0, rotateAxis=None)[source]¶ Arguments: text The text to display color The color of the text (any format accepted by pg.mkColor) html If specified, this overrides both text and color anchor A QPointF or (x,y) sequence indicating what region of the text box will be anchored to the item’s position. A value of (0,0) sets the upper-left corner of the text box to be at the position specified by setPos(), while a value of (1,1) sets the lower-right corner. border A pen to use when drawing the border fill A brush to use when filling within the border angle Angle in degrees to rotate text. Default is 0; text will be displayed upright. rotateAxis If None, then a text angle of 0 always points along the +x axis of the scene. If a QPointF or (x,y) sequence is given, then it represents a vector direction in the parent’s coordinate system that the 0-degree line will be aligned to. This Allows text to follow both the position and orientation of its parent while still discarding any scale and shear factors. The effects of the rotateAxis and angle arguments are added independently. So for example:
- rotateAxis=None, angle=0 -> normal horizontal text
- rotateAxis=None, angle=90 -> normal vertical text
- rotateAxis=(1, 0), angle=0 -> text aligned with x axis of its parent
- rotateAxis=(0, 1), angle=0 -> text aligned with y axis of its parent
- rotateAxis=(1, 0), angle=90 -> text orthogonal to x axis of its parent
-
setColor
(color)[source]¶ Set the color for this text.
See QtGui.QGraphicsItem.setDefaultTextColor().
-
setHtml
(*args)[source]¶ Set the HTML code to be rendered by this item.
See QtGui.QGraphicsTextItem.setHtml().
-
setPlainText
(*args)[source]¶ Set the plain text to be rendered by this item.

Praised be Jesus and Mary! I pray this finds you well. This is a website mainly for those who live in countries where the Catholic Faith is supressed, illegal, or censored. It is meant to be a resource for Catholics, Catechumens, and those who wish to know more about the teachings of the Catholic Church.
This .onion site is currently being developed, but will soon host the following: Catholic Catechisms, theology books, Bibles, PDF and .TXT files on Catholic spirituality, the lives of the saints, and other sources of information on the Catholic Church.
Eventually, we hope to host content in MULTIPLE LANGUAGES and CATHOLIC CHATROOMS for those who wish to communicate with fellow Catholics in a secure way. The latter will take a long time to impliment in a secure way, and we do not currently have an estimated time frame.


Weight is one of the most important health concerns people face today. Most of us have heard the CDC’s warnings that several common causes of early death, such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and even certain types of cancer are linked to obesity. While weight management involves a whole lifestyle of good habits, one integral piece is weighing yourself. You need a bathroom scale.
The right connected bathroom scale can boost your weight-management motivation and encourage kids to form good habits, too.
 I want to convince you that getting a smart bathroom scale, one that’s wirelessly connected to an app that helps you track your weight, is not only going to help monitor all the pounds in your household, but also has the potential to make your whole family happier about doing it.
A smart body scale is an electronic bathroom scale that measures weight and other body composition metrics, and then sends them wirelessly to an app or online service that automatically records the data.
Those other metrics generally include body fat, body water, and often body mass index (BMI). Some of the metrics are readings while others, like BMI, are estimates based on calculations that take into consideration height and sex, too.
A smart scale costs anywhere from about $30 to $100. You don’t have to buy the most expensive model to get something good. Getfitech Blog’s favorite smart scale the Original Xiaomi bluetooth 4.0 LED Smart Body Scales with BMI Data Analysis is just $74.26 at Banggood, we’ve also reviewed several other perfectly good scales that are available for under $70. The BlitzWolf® BW-SC3 Smart Scale ($47.99 at Banggood) retails for almost half that, and it’s a decent model. It does, however, lack a pregnancy mode, which is a cool smart scale feature (as I’ll explain), but one that may or may not matter to you personally.
The primary job of a smart scale is to record your weight and other metrics in an app that lets you see your history of weight change over time.
Multiple people can use the same scale, making them perfect for a health-conscious family. Most scales differentiate each person based on their prior readings. If one family members weighs around 160 pounds and the other weighs 140, the scale quickly figures out who is who. If two people have close readings, the scale or app usually asks the person being weighed at the moment to confirm his or her identity. It’s usually as simple as lifting one foot slightly off the scale to say yes or no, that is or isn’t me.
A smart scale helps a family organize their health initiatives because it makes the tracking effortless. No one ever has to write down the details of the weigh-in because the tracking happens automatically. The most you have to do is make sure the scale’s batteries are still going strong.
Recording all the weigh-ins automatically is a huge benefit to everyone in the household for reviewing weight history. But it can also be extremely helpful to a family physician or other health care provider who might want to see your family’s weight trends, too. If someone in your family suddenly gets ill and the doctor asks if there have been any drastic changes in weight, you’ll be able to tell.
 When you use a smart scale, you don’t have to look if you don’t want to. The weight will still be recorded in your app, and you or your doctor can look later. Long-term trends are at least as important as the daily numbers.
A lot of people don’t like facing the numbers of their weight, but imagine how much worse it could be if your body’s hormones are fluctuating during or after a pregnancy. One of my favorite smart scales, the Xiaomi bluetooth 4.0 LED Smart Scale, has a pregnancy mode that hides your weight from appearing on the scale while still recording it in the app. This mode also disables the body composition features, which pregnant women (as well as people with implanted devices, such as pacemakers) are often told not to use.
If you and your family like technology, incorporating a smart scale might actually make it fun to start tracking weight, or at least motivate them to start. Having a new toy in the house could give everyone the boost they need to start stepping on the scale every day.
If everyone steps on the scale every day, and there’s a record to prove it, kids will pick up on what it means to create a habit out of their weight-management practices, and creating good habits is key.
If you already use a fitness tracker, buying the companion smart scale will give you much more insight into how your activities, sleep, and food intake affect your weight. Currently, there are scales that work with trackers made by Fitbit, Xiaomi, Garmin, Polar, Withings, and Nuyu.
Adding a smart scale to your own or your family’s weight-management plan could help give everyone the boost they need to get those daily weigh-ins done. Developing positive daily habits is hard, but it’s a little easier when you have a new device to play with while doing it.

Manfred Weber: Monitoring Mechanism on Bulgaria Must Be Abolished
The constant efforts of PM Boyko Borissov and the Bulgarian people are paying off: for the EPP Group the Cooperation and Verification Mechanism for Bulgaria should be lifted. We are asking the EP President to write to the EU Commission to support Bulgaria exiting the CVM.
EPP Group Chairman Manfred Weber said this in a post on Twitter written in Bulgarian.
"I thanked Bulgaria's great friend Manfred Weber for his call today to the European Commission on behalf of the EPP Group in the EP for the abolition of monitoring mechanism on Bulgaria," Prime Minister Boyko Borissov wrote on Facebook. The two spoke during the EPP Congress in Zagreb. They agreed that Donald Tusk is the most suitable candidate for the next EPP president.

How to shoot yourself in the foot with...   Providing emergency assistance is impossible since you can't tell which are bitwise copies and which are just pointing at others and saying, "That's me, over here."    Modula-2: You perform a shooting on what might be currently a foot with what might be currently a bullet shot by what might currently be a gun. After realizing that you can't accomplish anything in this language, you shoot yourself in the head. Modula-3: You can't shoot yourself in the foot, because it's BAD PROGRAMMING PRACTICE to have a foot.  COBOL: Allocate $500000 for the project. USEing a COLT 45 HANDGUN, AIM gun at LEG.FOOT, THEN place ARM.HAND.FINGER on HANDGUN.TRIGGER and SQUEEZE, THEN return HANDGUN to HOLDSTER. CHECK whether shoelace needs to be retied. Go for coffee break. Return in time to put foot under bullet.  BASIC: You shoot yourself in foot with water pistol. On big systems, continue until entire lower body is waterlogged. FORTH: Foot in yourself shoot. This takes about five bytes of memory, executes in two to ten clock cycles on any processor and can be used to replace any existing function of the language as well as in any future words. (Welcome to bottom up programming - where you, too, can perform compiler pre-processing instead of writing code). First you decide to leave the number of toes lost on the stack and then implement the word foot-toes@ which takes three numbers from the stack: foot number, range, and projectile mass (in slugs) and changes the current vocabulary to 'blue'. While testing this word you are arrested by the police for mooning (remember, this is a bottom-up language) who demonstrate the far better top-down approach to damaging yourself. APL: You try to shoot yourself in the foot, then spend all day figuring out how to do it in fewer characters.   SNOBOL: If you succeed, shoot yourself in the left foot. If you fail, shoot yourself in the right foot.  HyperTalk: Put the first bullet of the gun into the left of leg of you. Answer the result. Motif: You spend days writing a UIL description of your foot, the trajectory, the bullet, and the intricate scrollwork on the ivory handles of the gun. When you finally get around to pulling the trigger, the gun jams. Unix: % Is foot.c foot.h foot.o toe.c toe.o % rm *.o rm: .o: No such file or directory % is % % make ShootFoot; make INSTALL DOS: You can't get to either foot from here. You finally work out how to shoot yourself in the foot, but can unshoot yourself with add-on software. OS/2: Point to Body and click, point to leg and click, point to lower leg and click, point to foot and gun goes click. Xbase: Shooting yourself is no problem. If you want to shoot yourself in the foot, you'll have to use Clipper.  Revelation: You'll be able to shoot yourself in the foot, just as soon as you figure out what all these bullets are for. Visual Basic: You'll shoot yourself in the foot, but you'll have so much fun doing it that you don't care. Prolog: You tell your program you want to be shot in the foot. The program figures out how to do it, but the syntax doesn't allow it to explain. You attempt to shoot yourself in the foot, but the bullet, failing to find its mark, backtracks to the gun, which then explodes in your face. 370 JCL: You send your foot down to MIS with a 4000-page document explaining how you want it to be shot. Three years later, your foot comes back deep-fried. Assembler: You try to shoot yourself in the foot only to discover you must first reinvent the gun, the bullet, and your foot. Using only 7 bytes of code. The bullet travels to your foot instantly, but it took you three weeks to load the round and aim the gun.   Insodoing, you crash the OS and overwrite the root disk. The system administrator arrives and shoots you in the foot. After a moment of contemplation, the administrator shoots himself in the foot and then hops around the room rabidly shooting at everyone in sight. Apple System 7: Double click the gun icon and a window giving a selection for guns, target areas, plus balloon help with medical remedies, and assorted sound effects. Click "shoot" button and a small bomb appears with note "Error of Type 1 has occurred."  Then the gun self-destructs. Windows 3.1: Double click the gun icon and wait. Eventually a window opens giving a selection for guns, target areas, plus balloon help with medical remedies, and assorted sound effects. Click "shoot" button and a small box appears with note "Unable to open Shoot.dll, check that path is correct." Windows 95: Your gun is not compatible with this OS and you must buy an upgrade and install it before you can continue. Then you will be informed that you don't have enough memory. Windows NT: You shoot yourself in the foot, but only after a pretty animation of blood spurting all over the place. ML: You aim the gun, then supply it with a foot to shoot. If this is impossible, supply it with a phone directory, and let it hunt you down. Note that even if you are a centipede, it will *still only need one bullet*. ADA: Sorry, this gun is the wrong type for your foot. Please put your foot in front of
this cannon instead. Thank you. Ada.  After correctly packing
your foot, they attempt to concurrently load the gun, pull the trigger, scream, and
confidently aim at your foot knowing it is safe. However the cordite in the round does an
Unchecked Conversion, fires and shoots you in the foot anyway. Your executioners scour
all 154e56 pages of the manuals, looking for references to "foot", "leg", or "toes"; then
get hopelessly confused and give up. You escape and sneak in when the boss isn't around
and actually write the stinkin' thing in C, and turn 7689 pages of source code in to the
review committee, knowing that they'll never look at it. When the program needs
maintenance, you resign. Eiffel: You create a GUN object, two FOOT objects and a BULLET object. The GUN passes both the FOOT objects a reference to the BULLET. The FOOT objects increment their hole counts and forget about the BULLET.    LaTeX: Your foot still gets neatly arranged, and it takes you less time to aim, but somehow that bit of bone isn't quite right. Smalltalk: Please come back when you've told the bullets how to fly. Ah, thank you.  A window pops up saying Gunpowder doesNotUnderstand: spark. After several fruitless hours spent browsing the methods for Trigger, FiringPin and IdealGas, you take the easy way out and create ShotFoot, a subclass of Foot with an additional instance variable bulletHole.  PVM: Okay, how many toes do we have? Okay you all ready? Sure? Okay, okay, wait for it... *BANG* (The toes are shot off in parallel, but they only hurt one at a time). HTML: Look at this really pretty gun. Now, if you'll just click here...You shoot yourself in the foot, only to find out that no matter how gory the result looks, your foot keeps working.  There must be a virtual foot around here somewhere, though...You decide can do it with a standalone interpreter, but a java applet will not let you access your foot.  People all over the world shoot themselves in the foot, but their foot can't figure out what the bullets are and ignores them. PostScript: Hang on, there was a gun I defined a while ago, and it looked *really* nice... PL/I: You consume all available system resources, including all the offline bullets. The Data Processing & Payroll Department doubles its size, triples its budget, acquires four new mainframes, and drops the original one on your foot.  The musket is aesthetically fascinating, and the wound baffles the adolescent medic in the emergency room. Algol 60 You spend hours trying to figure out how to fire the gun since it doesn't have any provision for input or output. Algol 68 You mildly deprocedure the gun, the bullet gets firmly dereferenced, and your foot is strongly coerced to void. csh: You can't remember the syntax for anything, so you spend five hours reading man pages before giving up.  Bullets are only available from another company and are promised to work so you buy them. Then you find out that the next version of the gun is the one that is scheduled to actually shoot bullets.  SQL: You cut your foot off, send it out to a service bureau and when it returns, it has a hole in it but will no longer fit the attachment at the end of your leg. Insert into Foot; Select Bullet From Gun.Hand;Where Chamber = 'LOADED' And Trigger = 'PULLED' Clipper: You grab a bullet, get ready to insert it in the gun so that you can shoot yourself in the foot and discover that the gun that the bullets fits has not yet been built, but should be arriving in the mail _REAL_SOON_NOW_. Oracle: The menus for coding foot_shooting have not been implemented yet and you can't do foot shooting in SQL. ORACLE sells you a gun, a box of bullets, a holster, a cardboard mock-up of a wild-west town, and a stetson. You find the trigger, which takes 27 people to pull. ORACLE provides 26 consultants, all with holsters, cardboard mock-ups, and stetsons. The bullet doesn't leave the gun barrel and you hire four more ORACLE consultants to optimise. The bullet bounces off of your sandals.  The bullet still won't go in. You decide to buy INGRES. Richard Donkin shoots you in the foot. Access: You try to point the gun at your foot, but it shoots holes in all your Borland distribution diskettes instead.  PHP: If you're lucky and the HTTP connection doesn't time out, you shoot yourself in the foot. BCPL: You shoot yourself somewhere in the leg -- you can't get any finer resolution than that. Powerbuilder: While attempting to load the gun you discover that the LoadGun system function is buggy; as a work around you tape the bullet to the outside of the gun and unsuccessfully attempt to fire it with a nail. In frustration you club your foot with the butt of the gun and explain to your client that this approximates the functionality of shooting yourself in the foot and that the next version of Powerbuilder will fix it.  MUMPS: You shoot 583149 AK-47 teflon-tipped, hollow-point, armour-piercing bullets into even-numbered toes on odd-numbered feet of everyone in the building -- with one line of code. Three weeks later you shoot yourself in the head rather than try to modify that line. DOS JCL: You first find the building you're in in the phone book, then find your office number in the corporate phone book. Then you have to write this down, then describe, in cubits, your exact location, in relation to the door (right hand side thereof). Then you need to write down the location of the gun (loading it is a proprietary utility), then you load it, and the COBOL program, and run them, and, with luck, it may be run tonight. VMS: $ MOUNT/DENSITY=.45/LABEL=BULLET/MESSAGE="BYE" BULLET::BULLET$GUN SYS$BULLET CP/M: I remember when shooting yourself in the foot with a BB gun was a big deal. DOS: You finally found the gun, but can't locate the file with the foot for the life of you.  A new foot with a hole in it appears but you can't work out how to get rid of the old one and your gun doesn't work anymore.   Whenever you shoot yourself in the foot, someone opens a topic in policy about it.  Genetic Algorithms: You create 10,000 strings describing the best way to shoot yourself in the foot. By the time the program produces the optimal solution, humans have evolved wings and the problem is moot. COMAL: You attempt to shoot yourself in the foot with a water pistol, but the bore is clogged, and the pressure build-up blows apart both the pistol and your hand. INFORMIX: The first gun doesn't work. Three months later INFORMIX's support desk sends another gun which doesn't match the version number of the bullets. INFORMIX suggests you upgrade to INFORMIX-ONLINE. You pull the trigger and your shoe gets wet.  You then turn off distributed query optimization. SYBASE: You carelessly invoke the procedure sp_insert_bullet() which fires a trigger (neah, eh?) on the table GUN. To maintain referential integrity, the system invokes another trigger which inserts bullets in your other foot, your shins, your thighs, and so on up to the cranium. You are left in third normal form. OCCAM: You send a message to your finger, which sends a message to the trigger, which sends a message to the firing pin, which sends a message to the primer, which sends a message to the firing charge, which sends a message to the bullet, which sends a very unpleasant message to your foot. The pipeline continues to run, a hail of bullets emerging from the output channel and drilling their way via your foot to the center of the earth. The high velocity arrival of such stupendous amounts of lead creates a a density shockwave which eventually collapses beyond its own event horizon. The black hole thus formed goes on to absorb the Earth, most of the minor planets, and the Sun. The problems of your foot become increasingly insignificant during this process. Hyperintelligent beings from the planet Zorg nod their several heads wisely and confide to each other: "I always said Tony was a complete twit." RTL: You start to really shoot yourself in the foot, but 6 slugs is too many for an array and blows the compiler to pieces. Eventually you realize you must rebuild the compiler to allow such huge arrays.  POP11: Your boss has never heard of it and wants you to use one of C, C++, Lisp, or Prolog, so you push his foot onto the stack and shoot it. Cray: I knew you were going to shoot yourself in the foot. Apple: We'll let you shoot yourself, but it'll cost you a bundle.  &Then &you &realize &that &your &foot &is &in &another UTM &zone Hewlett-Packard: You can use this machine-gun to shoot yourself in the foot, but the firing pin is broken.  If a bullet hits your foot, you're lucky. Microsoft: Object "Foot" will be included in the next release. You can upgrade for $500, and it will be the "best Foot ever." You can shoot yourself in the foot, but the method is buried in the docs somewhere NeXT: We don't sell guns anymore, just ammunition. Objective C: You write a protocol for shooting yourself in the foot so that all people can get shot in their feet.  You realise the bullet is the wrong calibre and wont fit properly in the IChamber, and that your foot is not registered. ActiveX: {AAGUN-06A3-SH00T-8F98-F00TB92EB7} C#: You write about 100 lines of code to print "Hello, world!" in a dialogue box, only to have a UAE pop up when you click on OK.  You then fly to Washington and shoot Bill Gates in the foot.  You can easily shoot the gun, but first you have to work out the geometry to be sure the bullet goes into your foot. INTERCAL: You ask the compiler to please load the gun and do place your foot in the trajectory of the bullet, but the compiler gives up. MS Visual C++: Instatiate an object of the CShootOwnFoot class. This will shoot your foot just fine as long as you have your own Microsoft Revolver(tm)- check your system directory for msrlvr32.dll. Note (by dah) that to run msrlvr32.dll you will have to download Internet Explorer 4.0 first, although you may continue to use any browser. The service pack 3-A, which must be installed over service pack 2 unless service pack 1 was installed, is available for download also. Finally, you should exit all applications and back up your registry before attempting to shoot yourself in the foot. After shooting your foot, you will need the Win95 CDROM and have to reboot your system. Note that the FootChute service for Win95 will only shoot little toes. To shoot entire feet, you will need the FootEnterprise package which runs only on NT Server, available separately. Pay-by-call help is available in the case of a stuck or jammed msrlvr32.dll Note: knowledge base article 345 is available to Premier Subscribers which discusses problems some customers have had distinguishing the "muzzle" from the "handle", symptoms of which include failure to damage your foot and occasional holes to hardware systems in the immediate area, despite apparently correct functioning of the dll. The spurious holes apparently do not recurr once the muzzle/handle swap has been made. 6502 You shoot yourself in the foot. 68000 You can't decide which gun and which bullet to use, so you hang yourself. 8080 You foot yourself in the shoot. 80x86 The gun isn't in the same segment as your feet, so you can't shoot them.  Lacking a gun, you hold the bullet in your hand and throw it at your foot....and miss.   DCL: $ MOUNT/DENSITY=.45/LABEL=BULLET/MESSAGE="BYE" BULLET::BULLET$GUN SYS$BULLET MED-PC: You can't shoot yourself in the foot, but you can train a pigeon to pull the trigger. MOO: You ask a wizard for a pair of hands. After lovingly handcrafting the gun and each bullet, you tell everyone that you've shot yourself in the foot. Nedula/2: After realizing that you can't actually accomplish anything in this language, you shoot yourself in the head. Objective-C: You write a protocol for shooting yourself in the foot so that all people can get shot in their feet. ORCA/C: Byteworks keeps promising to supply good ammunition REAL SOON NOW. PL/1: After consuming all system resources including bullets, the data processing department doubles its size, acquires two new mainframes and drops the original on your foot.  You have no idea that the gun, the bullet, or your foot exists. The gun is locked in a safe in a bank vault on the other side of the galaxy, the bullet is locked in a safe in a bank vault in another galaxy, and the people who know the combinations for the safes and bank vaults died ten million years ago. Still, the gun goes off and fires the bullet through your foot. WorldBuilder: You can't shoot yourself in the foot, but you can shoot the feet of plenty of monsters.  Tcl/Tk: You write 10,000 lines of C code to shoot yourself in the foot, then write a nice interface so other people can shoot themselves in the foot in exactly the same way with less trouble. Python: You insert the bullet into the gun but because there were actually TAB characters in the barrel instead of spaces, the gun jams with an IndentError. After unblocking the whitespace jam, you try to load the bullet into the gun, but Guido pulls it away from you and gives you version 2.0.  Brainf*ck: You create a Turing complete gun, but it takes more bytes of memory to store the gun than there are protons in the universe. The universe dies of old age before you finish writing the bullet. PERL: You pick up a swiss army machine gun and begin to load it. The gun and your foot
begin to grow to huge proportions and the world around you slows down, until the gun
fires.  Deciding to improve on this, you post
a query to comp.lang.perl.misc to determine the optimal approach. After sifting through
500 replies (which you accomplish with a short perl script), not to mention the
cross-posts to the perl5-porters mailing list (for which you upgraded your first sifter
into a package, which of course you uploaded to CPAN for others who might have a similar
problem, which, of course, is the problem of sorting out email and news, not the problem
of shooting yourself in the foot), you set to the task of simply and elegantly shooting
yourself in the foot, until you discover that, while it works fine in most cases, NT,
VMS, and various flavors of Linux, AIX, and Irix all shoot you in the foot sooner than
your perl script could. You finally settle on |


I heard on Twitter that today’s web designer doesn’t need a portfolio site.
And I agree.
They don’t need Facebook.
And they don’t need Twitter.
They don’t even need email.
They certainly don’t need to code.
But I’m yesterday’s web designer.
And that’s alright.

Hello! I'm Steve and I work at the University of Pittsburgh. I have always been scared of code...mainly, I think, because I lacked exposure to it. While I did use a little HTML when I ran my own business, in my teaching and practice I had relied on visual design web tools like Adobe Muse, Webflow, and drag-n-drop tools like Mobirise, Wix, and Weebly. But at some point I realized that the more I work with and these tools, the more I am at the mercy of corporations and their code. As a result, I have been working to develop tools and pedagogies to help introduce educators and students to code, computer science, and open-source collaboration.
Hello! I'm Steve and I'm proposing we work together on a project called Open Fuego. Open Fuego is a suite of coding tools that you can fork and customize for your institution and its specific needs. This tool will introduce code literacy, computational thinking, and computer science knowledge to your students. Our pilot study data say that students who use Pitt Fuego develop the skills and confidence needed to learn more about coding. We look forward to your contributions.

#assign subtitle = "Persistence Context"> <#assign persistenceContext = "true">
Although Ebean doesn't have a JPA Entity Manager it does have a Persistence context. In fact, you could go as far to say that any ORM worth using needs a persistence context in order to build consistent object graphs.
"A persistence context is a set of managed entity instances in which for any persistent entity identity there is a unique entity instance. Within the persistence context, the entity instances and their lifecycle are managed by the entity manager."
Ebean has a Persistence Context to ensure unique entity instances but Ebean has a different approach to lifecycle management compared to JPA.
That is, Ebean has a persistence context to ensure unique entity instance.
but has a different approach to the lifecycle management
compared with JPA. Ebean has no entity manager and no persist/merge/flush lifecycle
methods and the persistence context is not involved in persisting.
Ebean uses the Persistence context for queries and lazy loading (when it is building object
graphs). The purpose of this is to ensure that consistent object graphs
are constructed
(1 unique instance per identity).
Ensuring unique instances equates to building a consistent object graph
For example, in fetching a list of orders and their customers … the persistence context ensures that you only get 1 customer instance for it's given id (e.g. you are NOT allowed to have 2 or more instances of "customer id=7".
You could even say that any ORM worth using needs a persistence context when it builds object graphs from relational result sets due to the nature of relational result sets.
For example, if you didn't have a persistence context and did allow 2 or more instances of "customer 7" … and modified one instance but not the other … things get very ugly. The "persistence context" ensures the user/application code works with unique entity instances.
Ebean has a different approach to lifecycle management. The core difference is that with Ebean each bean itself has it's own dirty checking (detects when it has been modified and holds it's old/original values for optimistic concurrency checking).
This means that for Ebean is does not need or use the persistence context when persisting beans.
Ebean's persistence context is not involved in persisting.
With JPA implementations generally the dirty checking is performed by the entity manager. The entity manager generally holds the old/original values for optimistic concurrency checking and the beans need to be 'attached' to an entity manager to be 'flushed' (as an insert/update/delete). [Note: JDO based JPA implementations do this a bit differently].
Pro's for Ebean's approach:
Con's for Ebean's approach:
Ebean has 3 scopes for the the persistence context - Transaction scope
, Query scope
and Per Object Graph scope
.
With Ebean the persistence context is by default transaction scoped. This means that when you begin a new transaction (implicitly or explicitly) Ebean will start a new persistence context.
The persistence context lives beyond the end of a transaction. This enables any lazy loading occurring after the transaction ends to use the same persistence context that the instance was created with.
This means, a persistence context
The persistence context is sometimes described as the "first level cache" or L1 cache. I have also seen it described as the "transactional cache" in that it is most frequently scoped to a transaction.
// a new persistence context started with the transaction Ebean.beginTransaction(); try { // find "order 72" results in that instance being put // into the persistence context Order order = Ebean.find(Order.class, 72); // finds an existing "order 72" in the persistence context // ... so just returns that instance Order o2 = Ebean.find(Order.class, 72); Order o3 = Ebean.getReference(Order.class, 72); // all the same instance Assert.assertTrue(order == o2); Assert.assertTrue(order == o3); } finally { Ebean.endTransaction(); }
The code above shows that there is only 1 instance of "Order 72". As we try to fetch it again (during the scope of a single persistence context) we end up getting back the same instance.
However, typically you don't write code that fetches the same Order multiple times in a single transaction. The code above is not something you would typically write.
A more realistic example would be when the persistence context is used:
// a new persistence context started with the transaction Ebean.beginTransaction(); try { // find "customer 1" results in this instance being // put into the persistence context Customer customer = Ebean.find(Customer.class, 1); // for this example … "customer 1" placed "order 72" // when "order 72" is fetched/built it has a foreign // key value customer_id = 1... // As customer 1 is already in the persistence context // this same instance of customer 1 is used Order order = Ebean.find(Order.class, 72); Customer customerB = order.getCustomer(); // they are the same instance Assert.assertTrue(customer == customerB); } finally { Ebean.endTransaction(); }
From these examples you should hopefully see that the persistence context acts as a cache to some degree. It can sometimes reduce the number of database queries required when you get object graphs and navigate them.
However, the primary function of the persistence context is to ensure ... unique instances for a given identity (so that the object graphs are constructed in a consistent manor). The fact that it sometimes looks/acts like a cache is more of a side effect.
The purpose of the query scope is to effectively bypass a transaction scoped persistence context (l1 cache) in order to read fresh data from the database.
The general scenario is that you are in the middle of a transaction and you want to make sure that a particular query hits the database to get fresh data. In doing so we want to avoid using the current transaction scoped persistence context.
// transaction with a persistence context Transaction transaction = ... // Fetch customer 42 hitting the database // ... ignoring the transaction persistence context Customer customer = Ebean.find(Customer.class) .setId(42) // ignore transaction persistence context .setPersistenceContextScope(QUERY) .findOne();
When you use a findEach()
, findStream()
or findIterate()
streaming type query then Ebean uses a special scope for the persistence context.
These queries are expected to iterate through arbitrarily large query requests
and as such we don't want to hold all the object graphs in memory.
For these streaming queries Ebean creates a new PersistenceContext
when iteration
occurs and effectively the scope becomes per object graph.


preprocessor: The software module in the Digital Chroma that splits the notes from the keyboard into main and {_link_program link} streams, does main and link octave transpositions, performs keyboard algorithms like {_arpeggiation}, and handles the {_footswitch} and {_ribbon} mode {_parameter parameters}.
When recording a sequence in an external DAW via the {_USB_device_port} MIDI, it is the output of the preprocessor that is recorded. This means that the USB device port MIDI input doesn't perform those preprocessor functions, or support those parameters, since those functions were already performed during the recording.

Mechanicals
Most common problem is a flat tire. Carrying a spare tube and tools
for changing a flat will likely avoid having to walk to a bike shop.
If you need a bike shop, consult
this map.
Medical
Call 911. Your map location will help responders find you.
If you have CPR training or first aid skills, not only would your
group be appreciative in an emergency, but others that we encounter
may also benefit.
Awareness
Riding in a group is the best insurance that you'll have built-in
help when you need it, but do your part by looking out for hazards
and alerting your group. Cyclists pose little threat and are
rarely threatened, but a call to 911 can summon help if needed.
Keeping Safety in mind allows for the best experience for everyone.
Thanks for being on the lookout for situations that may endanger us.

A previous version of the library is currently better at extending lines. See how the older v1.1.1 performs.


#include <db_cxx.h>int DbLog::get(DbLsn *lsn, Dbt *data, u_int32_t flags);
The DbLog::get method implements a cursor inside of the log, retrieving records from the log according to the lsn and flags arguments.
The data field of the data structure is set to the record retrieved and the size field indicates the number of bytes in the record. See Dbt for a description of other fields in the data structure. When multiple threads are using the returned log handle concurrently, either the DB_DBT_MALLOC or DB_DBT_USERMEM flags must be specified for any Dbt used for data retrieval.
The flags argument must be set to exactly one of the following values:
If the log is empty, the DbLog::get method will return DB_NOTFOUND.
If the log is empty, the DbLog::get method will return DB_NOTFOUND.
If the log is empty, the DbLog::get method will return DB_NOTFOUND.
If the pointer has not been initialized via DB_FIRST, DB_LAST, DB_SET,
DB_NEXT, or DB_PREV, DbLog::get will return the first record in the log.
If the last log record has already been returned or the log is empty, the
DbLog::get method will return DB_NOTFOUND.
If the log was opened with the DB_THREAD flag set, calls to
DbLog::get with the DB_NEXT flag set will return EINVAL.
If the pointer has not been initialized via DB_FIRST, DB_LAST, DB_SET,
DB_NEXT, or DB_PREV,
DbLog::get will return the last record in the log.
If the first log record has already been returned or the log is empty, the
DbLog::get method will return DB_NOTFOUND.
If the log was opened with the DB_THREAD flag set, calls to
DbLog::get with the DB_PREV flag set will return EINVAL.
If the log pointer has not been initialized via DB_FIRST, DB_LAST, DB_SET,
DB_NEXT, or DB_PREV, or if the log was opened with the DB_THREAD flag set,
DbLog::get will return EINVAL.
Otherwise, the DbLog::get method either returns errno or throws an exception that encapsulates an errno on failure, and 0 on success.
The DbLog::get method may fail and throw an exception for any of the errors specified for the following Berkeley DB and C library functions: abort(3), atoi(3), close(3), closedir(3), fcntl(3), fflush(3), fprintf(3), free(3), getenv(3), getpid(3), getuid(3), isdigit(3), lseek(3), malloc(3), memcpy(3), memset(3), open(3), opendir(3), read(3), readdir(3), realloc(3), sigfillset(3), sigprocmask(3), snprintf(3), stat(3), strchr(3), strerror(3), strlen(3), strncmp(3), unlink(3), vfprintf(3), and vsnprintf(3).
In addition, the DbLog::get method may fail and throw an exception or return errno for the following conditions:
The DB_FIRST flag was specified and no log files were found.

Overview
Climate is an important environmental influence on ecosystems. Changing climate affects ecosystems in a variety of ways. For instance, warming may force species to migrate to higher latitudes or higher elevations where temperatures are more conducive to their survival. Similarly, as sea level rises, saltwater intrusion into a freshwater system may force some key species to relocate or die, thus removing predators or prey that are critical in the existing food chain.
Climate change not only affects ecosystems and species directly, it also interacts with other human stressors such as development. Although some stressors cause only minor impacts when acting alone, their cumulative impact may lead to dramatic ecological changes.[1] For instance, climate change may exacerbate the stress that land development places on fragile coastal areas. Additionally, recently logged forested areas may become vulnerable to erosion if climate change leads to increases in heavy rain storms.
Changes in the Timing of Seasonal Life Cycle Events
For many species, the climate where they live or spend part of the year influences key stages of their annual life cycle, such as migration, blooming, and reproduction. As winters have become shorter and milder, the timing of these events has changed in some parts of the country:
- Earlier springs have led to earlier nesting for 28 migratory bird species on the East Coast of the United States.[1]
- Northeastern birds that winter in the southern United States are returning north in the spring 13 days earlier than they did in a century ago.[2]
- In a California study, 16 out of 23 butterfly species shifted their migration timing and arrived earlier.[2]
Because species differ in their ability to adjust, asynchronies can develop, increasing species and ecosystem vulnerability. These asynchronies can include mismatches in the timing of migration, breeding, pest avoidance, and food availability. Growth and survival are reduced when migrants arrive at a location before or after food sources are present.[2][3]
Range Shifts
As temperatures increase, the habitat ranges of many North American species are moving north and to higher elevations. In recent decades, in both land and aquatic environments, plants and animals have moved to higher elevations at a median rate of 36 feet (0.011 kilometers) per decade, and to higher latitudes at a median rate of 10.5 miles (16.9 kilometers) per decade. While this means a range expansion for some species, for others it means movement into less hospitable habitat, increased competition, or range reduction, with some species having nowhere to go because they are already at the top of a mountain or at the northern limit of land suitable for their habitat.[4][5] These factors lead to local extinctions of both plants and animals in some areas. As a result, the ranges of vegetative biomes are projected to change across 5-20% of the land in the United States by 2100.[4]
For example, boreal forests are invading tundra, reducing habitat for the many unique species that depend on the tundra ecosystem, such as caribou, arctic foxes, and snowy owls. Other observed changes in the United States include a shift in the temperate broadleaf/conifer forest boundary in the Green Mountains of Vermont; a shift in the shrubland/conifer forest boundary in New Mexico; and an upward elevation shift of the temperate mixed/conifer forest boundary in Southern California.
As rivers and streams warm, warmwater fish are expanding into areas previously inhabited by coldwater species.[5] As waters warm, coldwater fish, including many highly-valued trout and salmon species, are losing their habitat, with projections of 47% habitat loss by 2080.[4] In certain regions in the western United States, losses of western trout populations may exceed 60 percent, while in other regions, losses of bull trout may reach about 90 percent.[5] Range shifts disturb the current state of the ecosystem and can limit opportunities for fishing and hunting.
See the Agriculture and Food Supply Impacts page for information about how habitats of marine species have shifted northward as waters have warmed.
Food Web Disruptions
The impact of climate change on a particular species can ripple through a food web and affect a wide range of other organisms. For example, the figure below shows the complex nature of the food web for polar bears. Not only is the decline of sea ice impairing polar bear populations by reducing the extent of their primary habitat, it is also negatively impacting them via food web effects. Declines in the duration and extent of sea ice in the Arctic leads to declines in the abundance of ice algae, which thrive in nutrient-rich pockets in the ice. These algae are eaten by zooplankton, which are in turn eaten by Arctic cod, an important food source for many marine mammals, including seals. Seals are eaten by polar bears. Hence, declines in ice algae can contribute to declines in polar bear populations.[2][6][7]
The Pika
Penguins and Climate Change: A Case of "Winners" and "Losers"
Even within a single ecosystem, there can be winners and losers from climate change. The Adélie and Chinstrap penguins in Antarctica provide a good example. The two species depend on different habitats for survival: Adélies inhabit the winter ice pack, whereas Chinstraps remain close to open water. During the past 50 years, a 7–9°F increase in midwinter temperatures on the western Antarctic Peninsula has led to a loss of sea ice. Over the past 25 years, the population of Adélie penguins decreased by 22%, while the population of Chinstrap penguin increased by an estimated 400%.[13]
Buffer and Threshold Effects
Ecosystems can serve as natural buffers from extreme events such as wildfires, flooding, and drought. Climate change and human modification may restrict ecosystems’ ability to temper the impacts of extreme conditions, and thus may increase vulnerability to damage. Examples include reefs and barrier islands that protect coastal ecosystems from storm surges, wetland ecosystems that absorb floodwaters, and cyclical wildfires that clear excess forest debris and reduce the risk of dangerously large fires.[4]
In some cases, ecosystem change occurs rapidly and irreversibly because a threshold, or "tipping point," is passed. One area of concern for thresholds is the Prairie Pothole Region in the north-central part of the United States. This ecosystem is a vast area of small, shallow lakes, known as "prairie potholes" or "playa lakes." These wetlands provide essential breeding habitat for most North American waterfowl species. The pothole region has experienced temporary droughts in the past. However, a permanently warmer, drier future may lead to a threshold change—a dramatic drop in the prairie potholes that host waterfowl populations, which subsequently provide highly valued hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities.[8]
Similarly, when coral reefs become stressed from increased ocean temperatures, they expel microorganisms that live within their tissues and are essential to their health. This is known as coral bleaching. As ocean temperatures warm and the acidity of the ocean increases, bleaching and coral die-offs are likely to become more frequent. Chronically stressed coral reefs are less likely to recover.[5][9]
Pathogens, Parasites, and Disease
Climate change and shifts in ecological conditions could support the spread of pathogens, parasites, and diseases, with potentially serious effects on human health, agriculture, and fisheries. For example, the oyster parasite, Perkinsus marinus, is capable of causing large oyster die-offs. This parasite has extended its range northward from Chesapeake Bay to Maine, a 310-mile expansion tied to above-average winter temperatures.[10] For more information about climate change impacts on agriculture, visit the Agriculture and Food Supply Impacts page. To learn more about climate change impacts on human health, visit the Health Impacts page.
Extinction Risks
Climate change, along with habitat destruction and pollution, is one of the important stressors that can contribute to species extinction. The IPCC estimates that 20-30% of the plant and animal species evaluated so far in climate change studies are at risk of extinction if temperatures reach the levels projected to occur by the end of this century.[1] Global rates of species extinctions are likely to approach or exceed the upper limit of observed natural rates of extinction in the fossil record.[1] Examples of species that are particularly climate sensitive and could be at risk of significant losses include animals that are adapted to mountain environments, such as the pika; animals that are dependent on sea ice habitats, such as ringed seals and polar bears; and coldwater fish, such as salmon in the Pacific Northwest.[4][5]

Makes 600g/1lb 5oz pastry
Dietary
This is a great shortcut method for making puff pastry. You can use it for sausage rolls, apple turnovers, tarts and savoury pies.
Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl. Rub in the chilled butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Gradually add enough water to form a dough (about 4-6 tablespoons of water).
Roll the dough out into a rectangle on a lightly floured work surface.
Grate half of the frozen butter over the bottom two thirds of the dough. Fold down the top third and fold up the bottom third as if folding a letter.
Turn the folded dough through 90 degrees and roll it out into a rectangle again. Repeat the process of adding the remaining frozen butter and fold as before.
Wrap the dough in cling film and leave to rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before using.
