Please only use on decodings produced by this same decoder instance; use on decodings produced by other instances may not work consistently.
The decoding to abify
This method is asynchronous.
Takes a Log object and decodes it. Logs can be ambiguous, so this so this function returns an array of LogDecodings.
Note that logs are decoded in strict mode, so (with one exception) none of the decodings should contain errors; if a decoding would contain an error, instead it is simply excluded from the list of possible decodings. The one exception to this is that indexed parameters of reference type cannot meaningfully be decoded, so those will decode to an error.
If there are multiple possible decodings, they will always be listed in the following order:
You can check the kind and class.contractKind fields to distinguish between these.
If no possible decodings are found, the returned array of decodings will be empty.
Note that different decodings may use different decoding modes.
Changing options.extras = "on"
or options.extras = "necessary"
will change the
above behavior; see the documentation on ExtrasAllowed for more.
The log to be decoded.
Options for controlling decoding.
This method is asynchronous.
Takes a Transaction object and decodes it. The result is a CalldataDecoding; see the documentation on that interface for more.
Note that decoding of transactions sent to libraries is presently not supported and may have unreliable results. Limited support for this is planned for future versions.
The transaction to be decoded.
This method is asynchronous.
Gets all events meeting certain conditions and decodes them. This function is fairly rudimentary at the moment but more functionality will be added in the future.
Used to determine what events to fetch and how to decode them; see the documentation on the EventOptions type for more.
An array of DecodedLogs. These consist of a log together with its possible decodings; see that type for more info. And see decodeLog for more info on how log decoding works in general.
This method is asynchronous.
Constructs a contract instance decoder for a given instance of a contract in this project. Unlike forInstance, this method doesn't require an artifact; it will automatically detect the class of the given contract. If it's not in the project, or the decoder can't identify it, you'll get an exception.
The address of the contract instance to decode. If an invalid address is provided, this method will throw an exception.
You can include this argument to specify that this should be based on the addresses content's at a specific block (if say the contract has since self-destructed).
This method is asynchronous.
Constructs a contract decoder for a given contract artifact.
The artifact for the contract.
A contract constructor object may be substituted for the artifact, so if you're not sure which you're dealing with, it's OK.
Note: The artifact must be for a contract that the decoder knows about; otherwise you will have problems.

The dome
Downloads
Load session
In this example, we will load the previously computed form and force diagrams of a dome from a TNA json file, which can be downloaded from the link above.
Note that if you would like to go through the process yourself, the connected lines which served
as input geometry are available in the Rhino file (dome.3dm
).
These are the required steps:
TNA_form > lines
TNA_select > form > vertices > boundary
=> mark as supports (is_anchor = True
).TNA_settings
=>boundaries.feet = 1
TNA_boundaries
TNA_force
TNA_move > force > diagram
TNA_horizontal
TNA_vertical
=>Z Max = 4.0
To load the equilibrium solution from a session file, run TNA_file
,
choose the option open
and then select the downloaded json file (dome.json
).
Modify equilibrium
At this point you can continue modifying the equilibrium starting from the previously saved state and save the new state as a different session..
For example, you could recompute vertical equilibrium with a different Z Max
value,
or you could set constraints on the horizontal forces and see what happens.
To save the new state in the same file, do TNA_file > save
To save the new state in a different file, do TNA_file > save_as
, select a destination folder and
provide a new target name.


Huawei MediaPad M6 is the best-selling flagship tablet in Huawei's history
by Efe UdinRate this post
At the Huawei MatePad Pro new product launch this afternoon, Huawei’s consumer business CEO, Yu Chengdong, said that Huawei MediaPad M6 is the best-selling flagship tablet in Huawei’s history. According to him, this year’s shipments will exceed 2 million units. He believes that one of the most important reasons for achieving such results is user satisfaction.
With the release of the MediaPad M6, Huawei became the top Chinese tablet brand for Q3 2019. Huawei has gained a fair second-half market share under US sanctions. If there are no US sanctions, it should be the first. This is the belief of Yu Chengdong. He added
“Everyone said that consumers are patriotic to buy our products, but in the first four months of this year, we sold very well in foreign countries. Do foreigners still love China? They must be Huawei products. ”
Yu Chengdong said that Huawei does not expect good news (US sanctions) and it is preparing for the worst results. This means that if there is good news, Huawei will only be better. The Huawei MediaPad M6 is not the only Huawei device that is doing well in the market. According to Yu Chendong, Huawei Watch GT 2 has sold more than 1 million units worldwide in 45 days.

The facade allows you to hide the details of the module from clients. It ensures compliance with `Law Demeter`. Using the generic interface and various implementations greatly simplifies testing. It blends well with other patterns like `Strategy`,` Template Method`, or construction patterns, allowing configuration of the object available for the clients. The facade is a good entry point for libraries, giving customers access to high-level functionality and hiding all internal logic and classes.

The `Strategy` pattern creates a family of algorithms, enclosing the differing logic in separate classes while hiding it from clients behind the interface. It enables the interchangeable use of implementations. The use of the strategy simplifies the customer code, avoids code duplication and conditional statements. Significantly simplifies testing - by separating client testing from strategy algorithms.

The template method is a very simple design pattern, that separates shared class parts from changing ones. The core idea is to have an abstract parent class containing the algorithm steps and allowing inheriting classes to overwrite individual steps, but not the algorithm that uses those steps itself.

After the `Static Factory Method` it's time for classic `Factory`. Factory is very useful and often used construction design pattern. Kotlin has interesting advantage thanks to `sealed` and `internal` classes, that are missing in Java.

`Static Factory Methods` known from Java have their place also in Kotlin, although they look and behave a bit different because there is no `static` word in Kotlin. Here I'll try to show how to use `companion object` for `Static Factory Methods` and more. PS: This whole post was supposed to be about `Factory Method` with just a short mention about static factory methods, but the topic becomes more interesting than I thought :)

The Builder Design Pattern is one of most popular and useful construction patterns in software engineering. In this post I will try to explain it and show how you can use it with Kotlin. Sadly I often see implementations that are simple translation from Java rather that utilizing cool Kotlin syntactic sugar.

The Meta Key
Emacs commands consist of a modifier, such as Control, which you hold down as you would the
Shift key, and a series of
keystrokes. For example, Control-x
Control-s saves a file.
The other modifier Emacs uses is the
Meta key. Few keyboards have keys
labeled Meta. Because of this, in
previous editions of this book, we refused to talk about the
Meta key and substituted Esc in all our instructions.
In this edition, we want you to learn
where the Meta key is. Typically
Meta keys are to the immediate left
and right of the Space bar. On Linux and Windows keyboards, the
Alt key is the Meta key. On Mac keyboards, the Apple key, often called Command is the Meta key by default.
Why learn about and use the Meta
key? The reason is speed. We emphasize key bindings in this book. New
users may find icons and menus helpful, but in the long run, learning
how to keep your hands on the keyboard allows you to gain speed and
boosts your productivity. The Meta
key will help you gain that speed and make it easy for you to use
Emacs help, which refers to Meta.
Depending on your style, you may still prefer to use Esc instead of Meta. Just bear in mind that with Esc you press and release the key, then press
the next key.

User Management
To keep the Gluu Server up-to-date with the latest user claims, your organization can either "push" or "pull" identity data. In the "pull" mode, otherwise known as LDAP Synchronization or Cache Refresh, the Gluu Server can use an existing LDAP identity source like Microsoft Active Directory as the authoritative source of identity information. If you "push" identities to the Gluu Server, you can use the JSON/REST SCIM API. Local user management can also be performed inside oxTrust. Each method is detailed below.
Cache Refresh
Cache Refresh was built by Gluu to pull user information from a backend Active Directory/LDAP Server. Cache refresh dynamically synchronizes user information from the backend data source to a local LDAP server in order to maximize performance. Cache refresh is documented in our configuration section.
Self Registration
Self-Registration is done by users on a self-service basis. Since oxTrust user registration cannot add users to a backend LDAP or Active Directory server, self-registration will only be effective if GluuLDAP is used for authentication of users.
BY default a a limited number of attribute is present in default self-registration form. If more attributes are needed they can be added in Registration Management of Organization Configuration. Learn more about Registration Management here.
Local User Management
In oxTrust, you can add, edit and manage people, groups and user attributes and claims to ensure the proper information is released about the right people.
People
To manage people, navigate to User > Manage People, as shown in the screenshot below.
From this interface you can add users and search for specific users. Because the user database can potentially be very large, a value is required in the search field. In other words, you can not click search with a blank entry to populate all users. If you need to see all users, this would be best performed manually within the Gluu OpenDJ server. Upon performing a user search, a list will be populated with all users that match the search, as shown in the screenshot below.
To edit a user, simply click on any of the hyperlinks associated with that user and you will be taken to a user management interface where you can modify that specific attributes relating to that user as displayed below.
Import People
This feature allows the Gluu Server Administrator to bulk import users. The user xls file can be added using the Add button.
Validation checking for the added xls file can be done using the Validate button. If the file is not formatted properly, the server will reject the same with an error as shown below in the screenshot.
Groups
Out of the box, the Gluu Server includes one group: Gluu Server manager group, named: “gluuManager”. Groups can be added and populated as needed. By using the Manage Groups feature, the Gluu Server Administrator can add, delete or modify any group or user within a group. The list of available groups can be viewed by hitting the Search button with a blank search box.
The Gluu Server Administrator can modify information such as Display Name, Group Owner, Visibility type etc. The Server Administrator can also add or delete users within existing groups. The group information is represented as shown below.
If any member of the Organization is required to be added in any specific group, this can be achieved be clicking on the Add Member button. The flow is Add Member --> Search the name/email of the user --> Select the user --> Click OK --> Update.
Attributes
An “Active” attribute list can be seen from the Configuration > Attributes section. By default, only active attributes are shown. To see inactive attributes, click the "Show All Attributes" link above the table. To edit an attribute simply click on the Display Name. Learn more about Attributes management here.

If I want to constrain that for a given IntVarArray, it number of unique element can not exceed some value, how can I do that? I checked "modelling with gecode", seems there is "count" for constraining the number of appearance of elements.
Let's assume the IntVarArray is called x, and we want at most max unique elements.
There are two possible ways to model this:
(1) Use an additional IntVarArray y and a count constraint so that y[i] is the number of occurrences of the ith possible element. Then use reification to get Boolean variables b[i] <-> y[i] > 0, and the number of unique elements will be the sum of the Booleans, which you can constrain to be < max.
(2) Use a SetVar tmp and constrain it to be the union of all x[i]: rel(home, SOT_UNION, x, tmp). Then a cardinality constraint cardinality(home,tmp,0,max) makes sure there's at most max unique elements.
The advantage of (1) should be that you get stronger propagation, but (2) needs only one additional variable and may therefore be more efficient.
Cheers,
Guido

Gerardo Parra leaves Nationals, MLB to play in Japan for Yomiuri Giants
TOKYO -- The "Baby Shark" is moving to Japan.
Outfielder Gerardo Parra has agreed to a contract with the Central League champion Yomiuri Giants, the team said Tuesday.
A two-time Gold Glove winner and a backup for this year's World Series champion Washington Nationals, the 32-year-old outfielder has a .276 batting average with 88 home runs and 522 RBIs over 11 major league seasons.
After arriving in Washington and wanting to break out of a slump, Parra changed his walk-up song to "Baby Shark," after seeing his 2-year-old daughter, Aaliyah, dancing to it. The children's song became an anthem for the Nationals as they rallied from a 19-31 start to make the playoffs and eventually win their first World Series title.
Fans and teammates made shark-inspired hand gestures after each hit, including pinching together an index finger and thumb after singles. Some players worked out while wearing headbands with the image of a cartoon shark, and some fans attended games in shark costumes.
Earlier this month, during an appearance on "CBS This Morning," Parra said the "Baby Shark" song "is inside my heart" because it gave him the chance to win a championship and made kids at the ballpark happy whenever he walked up for an at-bat.
A native of Venezuela, Parra hit .250 with eight home runs and 42 RBIs in 89 games for the Nationals after spending the first 30 games of the 2019 season with the San Francisco Giants.
He started his big league career with Arizona in 2009 and also has played for Milwaukee, Baltimore and Colorado.
The Tokyo-based Giants are Japan's oldest professional team and won the Central League pennant in September for the first time in five years before getting swept by Fukuoka in the Japan Series.

We stare at screens all day and read shorter and shorter messages. How's that working for your mental health?
People used to send special, personal letters to each other but there's a catch - you need to go outside to send them.
With Cutdoc you get the best of both worlds - send a digital letter, but it can only be read off-line.
To read a Cutdoc
You need: a printer, scissors, sticky tape.
- Print the Cutdoc PDF attachment out on paper
- Cut the page along the lines into long strips
- Rearrange the strips from 1 to 12 (use sticky tape to hold them together)
- Read your decoded document.
To make a Cutdoc
You need: paper, pen or pencil, phone camera (or scanner).
- Write a one-page letter on notepad or printer paper
- Using this Cutdoc app take a Photo of your page (so it fills up most of your camera screen)
- Or Scan your page as a JPEG image using a scanner
- 'Cut' your document in the app so the image is mixed up
- Send your Cutdoc PDF via email or message.
Tips
Reading
- Have something pointy (pen or toothpick) handy to help nudge the strips into place.
Making
- Use a pen that gives a smooth and thick line, like a Uniball
- Check that the paper is flat (not curling) so your photo doesn't warp
- Take the photo near a light (or use your phone's light) so the writing is clear
- Move the camera closer so your writing almost touches the left and right edges of the screen.
Unfortunately using a printer won't save the planet, but maybe you can help save someone you know or love.

Constraints of optimization of statistical analysis of data of engineerig monitoring of transport networks
Nikolai Kuzminets, National Transport University, chairman at Dept. of computer, engineering drawing and design, http://orcid.org/0000-0002-9636-919X
Yurii Dubovenko, National Transport University, senior teacher at Dept. of computer, engineering drawing and design, http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8128-5989
Abstract: Time series for the technical monitoring of the transportation networks include interference and omissions. Their analysis requires the special statistical analysis. Known statistical packages do not contain a full cycle for processing of large time series. The linear timeline for the processing of periodic data is not available in digital statistics.
The sliding window approach is suitable for processing of interrupted time series. Its disadvantage is the restriction on the length of the row and the sensitivity to data gaps. The graph of the time series processing needs the internal optimization. The necessary steps for optimizing of the time series processing graph are determined. They are as follows: store data in an internal database, build the data samples on a single time scale, sampling based on the meta-description of the series, averaging in a sliding window, calendar bindings and omission masks, generalization of graphs, storage of graphics in vector format and so on.
The conditions for the study of series are revealed such as the database, calendar structure of data, processing of the gaps, a package of numerical methods of analysis, processing in a sliding window.

HISTORY OF THE PRIESTHOOD FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD TO THE PRESENT TIME,
WRITTEN IN DEFENCE OF THE DOCTRINE AND POSITION OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST
OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS; AND ALSO A BRIEF TREATISE UPON THE FUNDAMENTAL
SENTIMENTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE WHICH DISTINGUISH THE ABOVE SOCIETY FROM OTHERS
NOW EXTANT.
P R E F A C E .
___________
THE subject of the Holy Priesthood, is one of magnitude and immense moment
to every biblical student, especially those who belong to the society of which
the author of the following work is a member, and one that diffuses new light
over the whole face of the sacred volume. It enables the inquirer after truth
to understand the manner in which God always has, and ever will, deal with the
human family.
There is no important topic in the oracles of divine truth, that stands
independent of this institution. To a certain extent it is the principle by
which the Lord works among men, and is the channel through which all the
spiritual gifts, such as miracles, revelations, visions, &c., flow or are
obtained; and is also, the authority by which individuals are legally inducted
into the kingdom of God. This kingdom or church, is organized and maintained
by it: for it is the power of God conferred upon His people; but when it ceases
to exist on earth, the church falls into darkness, and ultimately degenerates
into apostacy; hence, comes division, misrule, countless tomes of controversy
about doctrine, and all the mysticisms, that now characterize the religious
world.
The subjects of the redemption of man, the mission and divinity of Christ, the
precepts of the gospel, the true order of the kingdom of God, the gifts and
blessings guaranteed to the citizens of this kingdom, the renewal of the
gospel dispensation, the Book of Mormon, the restoration of the house of
Israel to the lands of their fathers, Zion for the Millennium, the second
advent of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and Millennium, are
inseparably connected with the Priesthood, all of which are discoursed upon,
and set forth in their true light in the course of this work.
However the merits or demerits of the work, are not for the author to
determine; but for the public, to whom it is now cheerfully submitted for
perusal.
The earnest solicitation of numerous friends to publish a work of this
description, and an ardent desire to propagate the truth, are the principal
causes that induced the author to mature it into its present form; therefore,
it is hoped that it will produce the desired effect, which is, to be the means
of doing much good; or in other words, to effectually subserve the cause of
Christ.
A TRAIN of events having rendered my circumstances such, that I cannot at
present be constantly engaged in the field labour, sounding the trumpet of the
everlasting gospel, or of decanting upon the beauties of holiness, with the
view of elucidating the riches and splendor of the kingdom of God: but being
inspired with feelings of respect, and ardent desire for the welfare of my
fellow man: and knowing that I cannot employ my time in a more serviceable
way, than when I engage myself in making plain to the understanding the
matchless work of God, I have retired from the hum of business, and chatting
of social society, to while away a few hours of solitude, in deep reflection
upon the high-toned economy of God, or self-commending plan of Salvation,
which I deem prudent to publish for the consideration of the honest inquirer
after truth.
The subject that occupies its place as one of the departments of the economy
of God, that I have made choice of, as will be seen from the Title, to fit
within the narrow limits of this little volume, is the Holy Priesthood, the
history of which I intend to give, with the view of the rise and establishment
of the kingdom of God of the latter-days, and fulfilment of the numerous
promises of God to his people.
Come Heav'nly Spirit I invoke thy aid,
O'respread me with thy cheering influence;
Touch the intellect, help the mind to soar
Above the narrow works of boasting men.
What is in me dark, illumine; O guide
The immortal part, sacred in the path
Of truth, that things past, present, and to come,
May be with great precision unfolded.
'Midst the labyrinth of the dark ages,
Of times or trial of struggling mortals,
Of which no history is conclusive,
Assist the mind untrammel'd to traverse
'Midst monuments survived the wreck of time,
Of truth unchang'd, unsullied, ever bright,
Though like lonely stars that in chaos shine,
While darkness, and confusion reigns around.
High Heav'n lend thine influence, act the part
Of the magic star of Bethlehem, that
Guided the guard'an shepherds of the east,
To the place where Immanuel was laid:
So inspire my mental pow'rs, direct my
Mind, a wise and just selection to make,
Of gems of 'lasting truth; and thus to rear
The temple of argument, in defence
Of the cause, nay more th' rights of Israel's God.
Once more kind Heav'n, thine influence I ask,
That like a well instructed scribe, I may
In wisdom, bring forth things both old and new;
That this work, the force of my exertion,
May prove a sure guide to eternal bliss.
Considering the foregoing a sufficient introduction, I now invite the reader
to divest himself of all unfriendly prejudice, and participate with me in the
investigation of our subject; but before we begin our research, let us have a
fair understanding with regard to the meaning of this holy priesthood; a
knowledge of which we are in search of.
When I speak of the holy priesthood, I mean to be understood as speaking of a
delegation from God, or a legation from heaven, which is in authority
conferred upon individuals authorizing them to act in the name of the Lord, or
to administering ordinances and transact such business as appertains to the
kingdom of God; or in other words, the Lord does a part of His work by proxy,
or employs righteous men as His agents, and his priesthood is the commission
or power given to them; however, the reader is not to understand from this,
that the priesthood is wholly restricted to this world; but to the contrary,
it is a principle congenial with the works of God, and binds the hosts of
heaven together, and authorizes the angels to act in the name of God
throughout the boundless realms of light; and (as will be seen hereafter,) no
one has a legal right to administer in the name of the Lord without this
authority.
The sacred writers have ascribed to this priesthood, two departments, or
general heads; the one they denominated the Melchisedec the other the
Aaronic or Levitical the latter seems only to have been an appendage to
the former, as I shall endeavor to make appear in its proper place. Having now
given my views with regard to the import and object of the priesthood, I renew
the invitation to the reader, to join me in this research, which we will now
commence.
Moses says: "..." (and all
things upon it.) "..." Thus we are to infer, that as the earth rolled from the hands
of its Maker, every thing was pure. Nothing molested the quiet of all the
Lord's holy mountain; all the beasts of the forest were docile or harmless.
But the most noble of all His works, was the formation of man in His own image
and likeness, whom He located in the beautiful garden of Eden or earthly
paradise; and gave him power to have dominion over all things upon the earth.
Thus Adam was made governor over all the works of God upon this planet, which
then formed a province in the vast kingdom of worlds, or boundless creation of
God. In this condition, he not only occupied the place of a ruler, but he
formed a connection between the heavenly intelligences, and other animate
creatures that dwell upon the earth.
But let us for one moment, further contemplate the state of things at this
period: -- The earth was (and is yet) the Lord's, And all things upon it: for
he created them. -- Adam, accompanied, by his companion, was located in the
capital, of it, to all appearance, with a prospect of enjoying a world of
pleasure. The earth was the extent of his dominion, yet all were under the
jurisdiction of the Lord.
Under, these circumstances, Adam having authority to sway his sceptre over the
whole province of the earth, it was only necessary that he should be
restricted under certain rules or a law, for the well-being of the whole of
the lower creation. This being the case, the welfare of all things upon earth,
to a certain extent, depended upon the conduct of man. The relationship that
Adam sustained with the Lord, was that of a son, if we credit the testimony of
St. Luke. * But alas! man only held this blissful station while in obedience
to the Supreme Head of all things; and in disobedience the whole scenery was
changed, and tinged with a crimsoned woe, sorrow, and perplexity. -- Satan,
who in all probability is a fallen angel, employed the serpent or disguised
himself, and thus beguiled Eve, who took and gave to Adam, and thus they both
partook of the fatal fruit, which was peremptorily forbidden. The penalty of
the law was inflicted, which was banishment from the beautiful garden and from
the presence of God, also temporal death. Thus Satan took the character of an
invader, and invaded the earth: the earthly paradise became lost to man, and
his relationship with God was broken; hence, since the fall, all mankind,
before obedience to the law of redemption, are foreigners, aliens, and
strangers to God. Under these circumstances, Adam, before having a knowledge
of the plan of salvation, must have been in an awful condition: -- A veil of
obscurity now intervened between him, and his God; the angels, who were
formerly his companions, did not so frequently visit him; the ground was
cursed, and became parched and obdurate, so that it required much manual labor
to obtain vegetation sufficient for his sustenance. The beasts of the forest
begin to tear each other in pieces; the more harmless birds of the wood,
hastened to some place to screen themselves from the more ravenous kind. Alas!
the harmony that once existed, was broken up, and a woeful confusion reigned
in its steed, and a horror and awful dread of death pervaded the mind of Adam,
and racked his soul with fearful anxiety respecting his future fate. Thus with
a prospect of lingering out a wretched existence, in a state of banishment
from the presence of God, and with awful feelings, as though they were the
horrible forebodings of perpetual despair, he no doubt, bewailed his
condition.
Now under consideration that these were the circumstances of man at this
period, and that satan had invaded the earth; I ask, what was there to be
done? Man had lost this earthly paradise or pleasant estate; the infliction of
the penalty of the law, which he had broken, rendered him an alien from God
and this curse was to be entailed upon his posterity. Could he without any
permission from heaven, establish a law or order of things, by which he could
regain that which he had lost? I answer in the negative. Again, would it have
been consistent with the character and mercy of the Deity, to have forever
abandoned him to wretchedness and woe, without offering him a chance to
return? I opine not. Still, I interrogate, would it be consistent with the
rules of propriety, for an alien to assume the authority to administer the
forms of the law, and thus adopt himself as a citizen of a distant kingdom, or
for two foreigners to commission each other to do a thing of the kind? Every
intelligent person will respond in the negative. Again I repeat, what should
be done? I will answer this by referring to what has been done.
After the Great God, condescended to alleviate the painful condition of man,
by promising that in His own due time He would send his Son who should be
offered as a sacrifice for the original sin, and redeem all mankind from the
consequences of the same. He also proffered to him the law of redemption; or
in other words the plan of Salvation, through obedience to which, all the
human family can form and sustain an allegiance with God. It would seem from
the scriptures, that this law of redemption is the law of the kingdom of God,
given to the faithful for their special benefit; but it is absolutely
necessary for all to be obedient to it, in order for them to become citizens
of this kingdom. But the point now at issue is, how the human family were to
come in possession of this kingdom: they certainly could not usurp it, neither
could they form this allegiance with God without a permit from heaven
authorizing them so to do.
Again, there was no way for God to establish his kingdom among foreigners,
unless he appeared in person and done it, or sent an embassy for that purpose.
An assumption on the part of the foreigners, would not answer. Thus it
appears, that there was no way for mankind to return and form a relationship
with God, only by a permit or grant from Him, accompanied with the specified
conditions. I have now traced the subject, to the place where I can with
propriety introduce the holy priesthood.
I have already shown, that it was possible for man to receive information
concerning the plan of salvation, but at the same time be destitute of the
proper authority to reap the benefits of it. Therefore, the thing lacking,
which was absolutely necessary, was the permit from heaven; or in other words,
the priesthood -- which was given to Adam.
This priesthood, as I have before observed, is the principle that binds the
hosts of heaven together, is the commission given to angels, and is the
necessary authority in the kingdom of God; and indeed, virtually speaking,
when this priesthood was given, the kingdom was given: for it is the authority
by which all the officers are consecrated, or the kingdom organized, and the
ordinances administered. When I speak of the kingdom of God on earth, I mean
to be understood as speaking of it, as being synonymous with the church
militant.
Now the reader is to understand, that this kingdom was organized on earth
expressly for the benefit of the fallen race of mankind, and all those who are
legally adopted into it, and are faithful to God during the short period of
their existence in time, will not only be under the immediate protection
of God; but will heir an inheritance in heaven, and fully regain all that was
lost by the fall; so that our painful course through time, and the serious
afflictions that flesh is heir to, in the end will be no detriment to us, but
rather, as the apostle says: "..." Again, it is
incompatible with the Lord's mode of dealing with the human family, to be
present himself and act the part of a priest on earth to administer the
ordinances that appertain to His kingdom, or to station His angels here for
that purpose; hence, He elected good men and conferred the priesthood upon
them, that they might administer the ordinances and adopt souls into this
kingdom. Thus the Lord deputized righteous men to do his work in his name. The
following declaration of the apostle, abundantly sustains this idea. "..." *
Moses and the prophet Malachi, connect the priesthood and a covenant together;
speaking of the priesthood conferred upon Aaron and his Sons, they call it a
covenant of priesthood."..." a dispensation, and a
covenant are inseparably connected, (I mean a general dispensation that is
given for the purpose of building up the kingdom.) Therefore, if the
priesthood was given to Aaron, a covenant was made, and a dispensation given
to him.
Now when we consider that God is the same unchangeable being in all ages of
the world, and that He has but one mode of saving men, we cannot dispute that
His kingdom was established on earth in as early an age of the world, as that
in which Adam lived. Yet I admit, there is no positive evidence that Adam had
this priesthood; but there is an abundance of circumstantial, as will be seen
from the following.
The first evidence, that the priesthood was given to men in this age, I shall
examine, in the circumstance of Cain and Abel, offering a sacrifice as a type,
no doubt, alluding to, and conveying an idea of the great sacrifice of the Son
of God. Moses gives the following account of this offering: "..." *
This not only shows, that Adam and his sons had a knowledge of the promised
Saviour and of the atonement; but, that some one was in possession of the
priesthood at this, period. But it is very evident, that it was given to Adam,
and he conferred it upon his sons; and even if Cain and Abel did not have it,
I am certain the person who administered at the alter did; for it is an
established principle in the economy of God, that no one has a legal right to
administer the ordinances of his kingdom, except he be qualified with the
priesthood; not even a sacrifice-offering excepted. To establish this, I refer
the reader to the circumstance of Saul, king of Israel, offering a sacrifice
at Gilgal, when he had no authority to do it. * This was a grievous offence in
the sight of God, so much so, that he rent the kingdom from him and his
posterity, and gave it to David. The apostle says: "..." † Moses strictly
forbade any one of the Israelites to administer at the altar, but those who
had the priesthood.
The foregoing sufficiently establishes the idea, that the priesthood was given
to man almost from the beginning; but it will be remembered, that he retained
it only by obedience to the commandments of God: for it is His kingdom, and He
will not keep in office those who disobey Him; hence, when Cain and others
transgressed, He took it from them. But I will now bring forward another train
of evidence; therefore, I solicit the reader to divest himself of all
prejudice, and critically examine it with me.
I have before remarked, that the fall of man produced an entire change in his
estate, and that all mankind, before obedience to the principles of
righteousness, are foreigners from God; and that His kingdom was established
on earth, in order that they might return and form an allegiance with Him;
hence, as soon as the priesthood was given, and the kingdom established, and
men began to increase upon the earth, those who belonged to the kingdom of
God, were distinguished from those who rejected it, by the appellation of the
"..." or "..."And it is possible, that Eve gave birth
to children before this priesthood was conferred upon Adam, (although, we have
nothing definite to establish such an idea;) but as soon as he received it, he
formed his allegiance with God, and become the head officer of the church or
kingdom on earth; hence, said she, when Cain was born, "..." ‡ thinking, no doubt, that he would succeed his father in
the right of presiding over the church: moreover, that he. would be numbered
with the "..." because he was born after they had renewed their
relationship with God. Cain however, murdered his brother Abel, in consequence
of which he was cursed, and excluded from the privileges of the priesthood;
therefore, Seth succeeded his father. And it appears, that the principal
object Moses had in view, in his very brief history of the world from the
creation down to Abraham, was to give the regular lineal descent and
succession of priests or patriarchs, who by virtue of the holy priesthood,
reigned as kings and priests, or presided in their day over the church.
Again, when we consider the frailty of the human mind, and the character of
satan, who invaded the earth, it is no more than reasonable for us to suppose,
that at a very early period there became two parties, which indeed was the
case. The "..." who reaped the benefits of the priesthood, and were
made the adopted children of God, in contradistinction to the wicked, (who
were called the "...") were termed the "..." This is certainly, a most excellent explanation of this
mysterious passage of scripture: "..." * This has been a difficult text for the
learned to comment upon. And some have indulged themselves in strange flights
of imagination, and enthusiastic speculation about the meaning of it, and have
supposed that the angels of heaven, had some mysterious commerce with the fair
sex of that age -- which is a great absurdity. All of this, is the affect of
the ignorance that exists in this our day with regard to the holy priesthood.
Even after the Antideluvian age, the people of the Lord, were called, "..." although, the term; "..." was frequently used. The appellation of
"..." is often used in the Book of Job; for instance: "..." * The idea is, the people of God met together and
satan protruded himself into their midst. The apostles also, frequently make
use of the term "..."
But before I leave the history of the priesthood in this age, I will again
introduce as positive evidence, to sustain the idea of the existence of the
priesthood on earth at this period, the following logical conclusions. First,
the Lord is the same in all ages of the world, and indeed from and to all
eternity. Secondly, his law, or the gospel, is the same invariable rule or
plan of salvation; therefore, it requires in all ages, the same principle of
authority to administer it. Thirdly, by the gospel life and immortality were
brought to light; and I am certain, if the bible is true, the Antideluvian
patriarchs understood these important principles. Fourthly, the precious
blessings, such as communing with God, as Enoch and others did, revelations,
administration of angels, faith, &c., &c., are enjoyed by those, who by virtue
of the priesthood are adopted into the family of God. Fifthly, there is but
one general order of priesthood, and that has existed from all eternity; for
the idea is held forth by the sacred writers, that Christ has been in
possession of it from before the foundation of the world, and as the kingdom
of God could not have been organized on earth without it; therefore as the
Lord's people of the age of which I now write, were in possession of the
kingdom and of the above mentioned blessings, it is established beyond
successful contradiction, that the Lord consecrated men to the office of the
priesthood soon after the fall. Being assured, in my own mind, that the
foregoing is sufficient to establish the position I have taken, I now continue
my history.
As I have before mentioned, there was a regular succession of kings, priests
or patriarchs, from Adam to Abraham, and it appears that during this age,
while the chosen or elect people of God, formed a separate or distinct people
by themselves, that it was highly displeasing to God, for them to intermix or
marry with the wicked: for it seems, that a violation of this rule, was one
reason why the Lord brought a flood upon the world, and destroyed all with the
exception of Noah and his family.
It is said that Noah was a preacher of righteousness, not of the ceremonial
law of Moses, for it was not then in existence; but the righteousness which is
of faith, or in other words, the gospel of Christ; and any evidence that the
gospel was preached in this early age, is proof that the priesthood existed on
earth at the same time.
In the preservation of Noah from destruction by the flood, the regular
succession of presiding priests was continued after it. He is a very prominent
man, in the history of these early times, and the bible gives him the
character of a prophet, and it also records the circumstance of his
administering at the alter, which certainly gives him the character of a
priest.
There is nothing in the history, of the elapse of time from Noah to Abraham,
that particularly attracts attention, only in exhibition of the fraility of
man; for it appears, there was a great falling away, or apostacy from God, and
a substitution of an idolatrous, in the place of the true worship. Also, the
building of the tower of Babel, which was very offensive to God: for which He
confounded the language that the human family then spoke, and scattered them
upon all the face of the earth.
I have now concluded the first division of my history; therefore, I close this
chapter, not however, without first assuring the reader, that the following
one contains matter of a very interesting character, and of importance to all
mankind.

Download Kogito examples
To download a released version of the Kogito examples, visit this page and select the latest version of the kogito-examples. Simply unzip it. It contains various out-of-the-box examples. We will be focusing on the jbpm-quarkus-example here.
Building and running jbpm-quarkus-example
The jbpm-quarkus-example shows how you can build your own order service by leveraging a business process to describe the logic that the service should follow. The example includes a simple process that describes the steps that need to be followed when ordering items: a sequence of a script task (which is writing out some debug info) and a call activity invoking a sub-process, using a custom Order
data element.
The sub-process invokes a custom Java service CalculationService.calculateTotal
, followed by a user task to verify the order.
Based on these two processes (defined using BPMN 2.0 format), the custom data object and the custom Java service mentioned earlier, the example shows how a new service is generated that exposes REST operations to create new orders (following the steps as defined in the main and sub-process), or to list and delete active orders. You can choose to create this service based on either Quarkus or SpringBoot.
Quarkus
Open your command line and go into the jbpm-quarkus-example folder. First we will build the service. Based on the process definitions, this will generate the necessary code to turn this into domain-specific order service with REST endpoints to start, list and remove orders.
For local development, you have 3 options to build and start the service:
- Since the service runs on top of Quarkus, you can take advantage of the development capabilities that Quarkus offers (like live reload etc.), and run the service in Quarkus development mode.
- You can also run the service as a regular Java service.
- You can take advantage of native image compilation (requires GraalVM), which will further optimize and minimize the service using native image compilation.
Build and run in development mode
mvn clean package quarkus:dev
Build and run in JVM mode
mvn clean package
java -jar target/jbpm-quarkus-example-{version}-runner.jar
or on Windows
java -jar target\jbpm-quarkus-example-{version}-runner.jar
Build and run in native mode (requires GraalVM)
mvn clean package -Pnative
./target/jbpm-quarkus-example-{version}-runner
Spring boot
Open your command line and go into the jbpm-springboot-example folder. First we will build the service. Based on the process definitions, this will generate the necessary code to turn this into domain-specific order service with REST endpoints to start, list and remove orders.
For local development, you have 2 options to build and start the service:
- Since the service runs on top of SpringBoot, you can take advantage of the development capabilities that SpringBoot offers and run the service using the SpringBoot maven plugin.
- You can also run the service as a regular Java service.
Build and run in development mode
mvn clean package spring-boot:run
Build and run in JVM mode
mvn clean package
java -jar target/jbpm-springboot-example-{version}.jar
or on Windows
java -jar target\jbpm-springboot-example-{version}.jar
Test the running service
Once the service is up and running, you can use the following examples to interact with the service. Below are curl command you can run to do the REST calls but feel free to use the tool of your choice as well.
POST /orders
Allows to create a new order with the given data:
curl -d '{"approver" : "john", "order" : {"orderNumber" : "12345", "shipped" : false}}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8080/orders
As response the updated order is returned.
GET /orders
Returns list of orders currently active:
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/orders
As response an array of orders is returned.
GET /orders/{id}
Returns order with given id (if active):
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/orders/1
As response a single order is returned if found, otherwise no content (204) is returned.
DELETE /orders/{id}
Cancels order with given id
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/orders/1
You can try out other examples as well, all of them are equipped with a Readme file describing how to use them.
Create your first application
This guide covers:
- Configuring your IDE with modeller
- Generating new project
- Building the project
- Testing the project
Install Eclipse with modelling plugins
To be able to make use of visual modelling of your processes download Eclipse IDE and install from Marketplace
- Eclipse BPMN2 Modeler plugin (with jBPM Runtime Extension)
To build your own service that is powered by Kogito the best way is to start by generating project using Maven Archetype.
Quarkus
Generate project
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.kie.kogito -DarchetypeArtifactId=kogito-quarkus-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=0.1.3 -DgroupId=com.company -DartifactId=sample-kogito
Once the project is generated, import it into your Eclipse IDE. There is a single process included in the project out-of-the-box that allows to test the generated application. Simply build the project with maven and start the application (as before you have the option to start it using Quarkus dev mode, using JVM mode or using native image mode - we will use Quarkus dev mode in this example)
Start your application
Open your command line and go into the newly created sample-kogito folder
mvn clean package quarkus:dev
SpringBoot
Generate project
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.kie.kogito -DarchetypeArtifactId=kogito-springboot-archetype -DarchetypeVersion=0.1.3 -DgroupId=com.company -DartifactId=sample-kogito
Included in the project out-of-the-box that allows to test the generated application. Simply build the project with maven and start the application (as before you have the option to start it using SpringBoot maven plugin or as a normal Java service - we will use the SpringBoot maven plugin in this example)
Start your application
Open your command line and go into the newly created sample-kogito folder.
mvn clean package spring-boot:run
Test your application
Once the service is up and running, you can use the following examples to interact with the service. Below are curl command you can run to do the REST calls but feel free to use the tool of your choice as well.
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -d '{}' http://localhost:8080/tests
That gives you a starting point where you can start adding your own business processes, rules and decisions!
