More Courtroom than Courting Snow Falling on Cedars
By Ross Anthony
When a tight shot of freshly caught fish gasping for air on the puddled floorboards of a small fishing boat is saturated with all the aesthetics of a Renoir painting ... you know you're in for an artistically filmed production. Well "Cedars" won't let you down. Scrupulously, meticulously, caringly exposed on the negative, this picture is one of the richest cinematographic efforts of the year.
The art doesn't stop with the image. Attentive and crisp sounds accentuate the visual buffet. The crackling ignition of a match, the pouring of hot tea: this is an abundantly textured film. Additionally, the score refreshingly fuses new age with traditional movie music composition.
Oddly, this love story is really more of a courtroom drama; however, as soon as we realize this, the artistry and the plot line unfortunately take off in different directions.
We view this 1930-1950's story mostly through the eyes of hesitant reporter Ishmael Chambers (Ethan Hawke) who as a child and teen shared a secret romance with a Japanese girl from his small town. When the woman's husband is accused of murder, Ishmael has to battle his 20-year-old obsession in order to decide if he should help defend the man that stole his girl.
One of the film's finest moments finds the widow on the stand, attorney mouthing muted words while passionate memories of her husband play out on screen to screaming violins.
The leads aren't particularly strong, but Richard Jenkins as the Sheriff gives a great supporting performance and Max Von Sydow is charming as the defense lawyer. Fine casting.
I was trembling with excitement over this film until the halfway mark when the art became more than a tad indulgent neglecting its responsibility to story, making the film rather disproportionate. "Cedars" toys with a love fable, toys with making a statement of Japanese suffrage (the concentration camps for Japanese-Americans during W.W.II), spends a lot of time in the courtroom, but is ultimately a tale of one man's wrestle with an obsession recorded on film in a fashion far superior to its story. Still, it is simply the most beautiful courtroom drama you'll ever see.

AWS::AppMesh::Mesh
Creates a service mesh.
A service mesh is a logical boundary for network traffic between services that are represented by resources within the mesh. After you create your service mesh, you can create virtual services, virtual nodes, virtual routers, and routes to distribute traffic between the applications in your mesh.
For more information about service meshes, see Service meshes.
Syntax
To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:
JSON
{ "Type" : "AWS::AppMesh::Mesh", "Properties" : { "MeshName" :
String
, "Spec" :MeshSpec
, "Tags" :[ Tag, ... ]
} }
Properties
MeshName
-
The name to use for the service mesh.
Required: No
Type: String
Minimum:
1
Maximum:
255
Update requires: Replacement
Spec
-
The service mesh specification to apply.
Required: No
Type: MeshSpec
Update requires: No interruption
Tags
-
Optional metadata that you can apply to the service mesh to assist with categorization and organization. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value, both of which you define. Tag keys can have a maximum character length of 128 characters, and tag values can have a maximum length of 256 characters.
Required: No
Type: List of Tag
Maximum:
50
Update requires: No interruption
Return values
Ref
When you pass the logical ID of this resource to the intrinsic Ref
function, Ref
returns the resource ARN. For example:
{ "Ref": "myMesh" }
When you pass the logical ID of an AWS::AppMesh::Mesh
resource to the
intrinsic Ref function, the function returns the mesh ARN, such as
arn:aws:appmesh:us-east-1:555555555555:mesh/myMesh
.
For more information about using the Ref
function, see Ref.
Fn::GetAtt
The Fn::GetAtt
intrinsic function returns a value for a specified attribute of this type. The following are the available attributes and sample return values.
For more information about using the Fn::GetAtt
intrinsic function, see Fn::GetAtt.
Arn
-
The full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for the mesh.
MeshName
-
The name of the service mesh.
MeshOwner
-
The IAM account ID of the service mesh owner. If the account ID is not your own, then it's the ID of the account that shared the mesh with your account. For more information about mesh sharing, see Working with Shared Meshes.
ResourceOwner
-
The IAM account ID of the resource owner. If the account ID is not your own, then it's the ID of the mesh owner or of another account that the mesh is shared with. For more information about mesh sharing, see Working with Shared Meshes.

Here's what 23 celebrities looked like before they went grey
by Gabbi Shaw- Going grey is a natural part of life – even for your favourite celebrities.
- While many people, famous or not, opt to dye their hair, these 23 celebs prove that going grey can look amazing.
- Harrison Ford, for example, has embraced his silver fox status for years.
- Visit Insider’s homepage for more stories.
For some, finding that first grey hair can trigger mild existential dread, but these famous figures might have you embracing the new hue.
In fact, many of them look better with this more distinguished hair colour – which isn’t even that different from the current trends of going platinum blonde or even “grombre.”
These before and after transformations might convince you to put down the hair dye for good.
Tom Hanks has recently been seen sporting a silver beard.
On the press tour for “A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood,” Hanks has been making the rounds with a brand new silver beard.
Harrison Ford has been showing us what it means to be a silver fox for decades now.
Clearly, age is just a number. Ford reprised his role as Han Solo in 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” appeared as Rick Deckard again in 2017’s “Blade Runner 2049,” and is set to once more don his fedora and whip for a new “Indiana Jones” movie sometime soon.
Jamie Lee Curtis has slowly been embracing her natural hair, but she debuted an icy white shade at the 2019 Golden Globes.
For the first few decades of her career, Curtis rocked a reddish-brown hue. But starting in the 2000s, she began embracing her graying hair, and has kept it that way.
“The epiphany came when I was sitting in a hair salon thinking, ‘What the eff am I doing putting a chemical on my head that burns?’,” she told Everyday Health.
Jon Bon Jovi has switched from brown to grey, and we’re into it.
“Yup, I’m the guy who embraced going grey! There are a lot of gentlemen out there whose names I won’t mention – and none of them have embraced the real them, have they,” Bon Jovi told the Telegraph in 2018. “I’ll embrace the grey hair – but I won’t become fat Elvis,” he continued.
Two decades after leaving behind “Cheers” and a hairpiece, Ted Danson is now everyone’s favourite silver-haired demon on “The Good Place.”
Before “The Good Place” cemented his silver fox status, arguably Danson’s most famous hair moment came during an episode during the 11th and final season of “Cheers,” in which his character Sam Malone whipped off his toupee to cheer up Carla (played by Rhea Perlman).
It’s almost impossible to believe that Rita Moreno is almost 90 — and dare we say she looks better with grey hair than black.
The EGOT winner says she’s lucky she doesn’t “look like an old wallet” after all the time she spent in the sun in her youth. “I used to sit in the sun until I looked like a piece of bacon,” Moreno told People.
Kyle MacLachlan has been slowly going grey for the past few years, but he is now fully silver.
MacLachlan is mainly known for roles with his trademark jet black hair, but over the last few years, he has embraced the grey.
It’s almost impossible to remember a time before George Clooney had grey hair.
Clooney is the prototypical silver fox – handsome, charming, and rocking his natural hair colour. In 2014, the Daily Mail reported that he was voted the No. 1 “Man Ageing Gracefully” poll.
Bradley Whitford joked that “Donald Trump turned my hair white” during an interview.
Whitford has always been politically outspoken, and during a January 2019 appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” the former “West Wing” star joked that his new ‘do was due to stress over the presidency.
Nichelle Nichols has been in the spotlight for almost six decades, and she looks good with both black and silver hair.
Nichols, best known for her role as Uhura in “Star Trek,” was 34 years old when the sci-fi show premiered in 1966. She became a huge role model for people of colour in both STEM and entertainment, and was even asked by NASA to recruit women and minorities.
Pierce Brosnan has been living the salt and pepper life for a few years.
The former James Bond has been dyeing his hair on and off for the past few years, but just this April decided to embrace his inner silver fox.
It’s no surprise that President Obama has gone grey — the job is stressful — but he’s rocking it.
The presidency definitely ages you – even Obama himself has joked about his new hair colour. We think it makes him look even more sophisticated.

Steve Carell’s grey hair had fans everywhere pleasantly surprised.
He definitely doesn’t look like Michael Scott anymore. When Carell debuted this look back in 2017, the internet immediately took notice and declared him a hottie.
His response?
Helen Mirren recently transitioned from blonde to white.
As recently as 2015, Mirren was dyeing her own hair a beige shade of blonde. For the past couple of years though, she started transitioning from blonde to a bright white.
However, she’s not totally done with experimenting – she debuted a new pink ‘do at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
Jeff Goldblum has completely embraced his new professor aesthetic, complete with glasses and silver hair.
Goldblum’s luscious black hair was a part of his identity for years, but he’s embracing a new look now.
“My hair used to be dark, and now it’s salt-and-pepper. Ilike the way it looks. Luckily it’s still mostly there, so this is easy for me to say, but I would hope that if I lose my hair, I’ll just roll with it,” he told GQ. “When you try to be youthful, it only makes you look older,” he continued.
Watching Jon Stewart’s hair go from dark brown to salt and pepper to grey over the course of “The Daily Show” occupied us for 16 years.
To watch this transition in high-speed, look no further than this supercut done by YouTuber Billy Chasen, who assembled footage from every single episode of “The Daily Show” and smashed it together in honour of the host’s final episodes in 2015.
While Sam Elliott’s hair colour may have changed, his mustache remains the same.
During a recent stint on “Justified,” Elliott appeared without his mustache and looked almost unrecognizable. “It was fun transforming my look, but I did feel naked without the mustache,” he told AARP in 2015.
Anderson Cooper is one of the most famous silver foxes on TV.
Cooper admitted on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” that he’s not totally cool with his white hair, going so far as to say “I don’t really like my grey hair. I wish I still had brown hair. It’s not my thing.”
He even compared himself to a White Walker from “Game of Thrones,” according to People.
We beg to differ, Mr. Cooper.
Diane Keaton went fully grey in 2014 and has never looked back.
Keaton debuted her grey hair at the 2014 Golden Globes, but she’s rocked a few different shades over her decades-long career, including both brown and blonde.
Dermot Mulroney showcased his new hair colour in his show “Homecoming.”
Mulroney has been a part of our lives since the ’80s, but is most famous for his role in 1997’s “My Best Friend’s Wedding” alongside Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, and Rupert Everett. He reunited with Roberts in 2013 for “August: Osage County,” and then again in 2018 in “Homecoming.”
Matt LeBlanc was dyeing his hair black while he was still on “Friends.”
Apparently, LeBlanc was going grey as early as the second season of “Friends,” in which he played loveable dummy Joey Tribbiani. He shared on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” that he even attempted to dye it himself, but he accidentally dyed his ears black too.
Patrick Dempsey’s hair was a big part of his character on “Grey’s Anatomy.”
In fact, one might have called his hair dreamy. We think that the salt and pepper suits him, especially with the silver streak in front.
Acting legend Glenn Close slays both blonde and grey hair.
Close is still turning in Oscar-worthy performances decades into her career – just look at “The Wife” – and is also breaking boundaries when it comes to Hollywood, sex, and ageing.
“I think people don’t realise that you keep your sexuality up until you die,” she told the Guardian, “I think it’s good for kids to see it.”

This is chapter 2 of the User Guide for the Allegro CL 10.0 Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The chapters of the IDE User Guide are:
Chapter 1: Introduction to the IDE
Chapter 2: The Allegro CL Development Environment (IDE) (this chapter)
Chapter 3: An example
Chapter 4: Projects
Chapter 5: Components
Chapter 6: Designing a user interface using forms
Chapter 7: Menus
Chapter 8: Events
Start Allegro CL with the IDE by choosing an appropriate item from the Allegro CL 10.0 menu item on the Start menu. The choices that start the IDE include:
If you do start Allegro CL without the IDE, you can start the IDE by evaluating the following two forms. The first loads IDE fasl files and the second starts it up:
(require :ide) (ide:start-ide)
When start-ide is called, it performs the following steps. (This is an abbreviated list providing highlights only. See About IDE Startup in doc/cgide.htm for a complete description of IDE startup.)
-batch
),
start-ide exits immediately returning nil.
(The IDE is an interactive interface and it does not make sense to run it in batch
non-interactive mode.)After the initialization functions are called, the startup-dialog is displayed (unless it has been disabled).
When you start the IDE in Allegro CL 10.0, you are shown the startup-dialog asking about projects: whether you want an existing project opened or a new project created or do not want a project opened by default. The first time the Allegro CL 10.0 IDE is started, the dialog looks like this:
The first choice is Open a Recent Project, which lists projects known to the system. This choice will be unavailable if there are no such projects.
You can arrange to have this dialog suppressed (with, for example, the check box near the bottom). If this dialog is not displayed, the IDE is started with no current project. You can at any time create a new project or open an existing one with File | New Project or File | Open Project.
If you choose Create a New Project (the third radio button down), you are asked to specify a project directory, where project files will be located. The very first time you do this, the Project Parent Directory dialog is displayed, allowing you to choose the parent directory for project directories. The default for the project parent directory is C:\allegro-projects. After the project parent directory is specified (it applied to all projects), then creating a new project causes this dialog to appear, asking for the project directory for the new project:
You can accept the default or specify a different directory. The project parent directory is stored in the allegro-ide-options.cl file in your home directory (on UNIX) or personal documents directory (on Windows). Sometimes it is located in the Allegro directory (where Allegro CL was installed) depending on certain options. Wherever it is, if you delete that file, the next time you create a new project, you will be asked to specify a project parent directory first.
The figure shows the Allegro CL start-up state (slightly rearranged to make the pieces more visible). This is the state when a new project is created on startup. Note that there are numerous ways to customize what is displayed on startup (see the dialog). However, the windows shown here and those listed but not shown are most of the important windows in the IDE. You can display a particular window with the View menu.
At the top of the screen is:
The Project window. The project window has the menu bar and a toolbar. The toolbar has buttons grouped in associated sets, first standard file operations such as Open, New, Load, and Save, and then groups for running forms and projects, for inspecting Lisp objects or searching source code, and so on. In earlier versions, components were displayed on the toolbar but components have been moved to their own floating palette, displayed with Form | Show Widget Palette. The widget palette is shown here:
The buttons on the palette correspond to available components that can be placed on forms while designing the user interface to your application.
We have started the IDE with the option Use Single IDE Parent Window specified true (as it is initially). There is an opaque background to the IDE on which all IDE windows and dialogs are diplayed. The status bar, which displays useful information such as operator argument lists and current status, is at the bottom of this background window. If we turn that option off (as can be done on the IDE1 tab of the Options dialog displayed with Tools | Options):
The IDE will look like this (after it is restarted -- that option cannot be changed in a running Lisp; note we have cropped the bottom):
Now the status bar is on the bottom of the Project window. The current package (common-graphics-user, nickname cg-user) is displayed to the right of the status bar. See the note below if you want more items on the toolbar.
Below the Project Window is the Debug Window. Other Windows are displayed with the View menu.
The debug window is a Lisp listener with a prompt and can be used to evaluate Lisp expressions (useful to check the values of variables and to test functions, among other things). If there is an error, a backtrace and information about the error are displayed in this window (unless the backtrace is too big, in which case it is displayed in a separate window).
Not visible in that illustration (because we started without a project open) are:
The Project Manager. The Project Manager dialog displays information about the current project. You can use this dialog to modify aspects of projects (add files, delete files, etc.)
The Inspector. The inspector displays properties, events and internals of the currently selected object, When viewing the properties tab of the inspector, the property names are on the left and values are displayed on the right. A value can be set directly in the Inspector Window, with the new value having an immediate effect on the object being designed. Display an inspector with the View menu. Certain gestures (such as double-clicking over a form) display the inspector inspecting the object clicked over.
A blank form. A form is a design tool for designing the windows (of all types) that may appear when your application is run. Each form corresponds to a window in the application. You can add components to forms and then customize their display and behavior according to the needs of your application. (You must have a project open to display a form so we have opened a new project with File | New Project. The Project Manager and an editor workbook are displayed when we do this.)
Get a new form by choosing New Form on the File menu. The New Form dialog appears asking you to choose the class of the new form:
We accept the default, which is dialog. The new form appears and is automatically added to the current project.
Along with the new form, named form1, an inspector window inspecting the form is opened. And an editor buffer named form1 has been opened and form1 is listed as a module in the project (look at the visible bit of the Project Manager).
The set of commands that are included on the Standard Toolbar may be customized. To do this, first expose the Extended Toolbar via the View | Extended Toolbar command. Then hold down the ALT key, left-click down on an icon in either the Standard Toolbar or the Extended Toolbar, drag it (while continuing to hold the mouse button down), and then release the mouse button to drop the icon on the other toolbar (or at another location on the same toolbar).
If not all of the icons fit into the current area of the Standard Toolbar, then its scroll buttons will be turned on and you won't see all of the commands at once; to remedy this, invoke the View | Toolbars command twice to toggle the Standard Toolbar off and back on --- this will adjust the size of the Standard Toolbar to fit all of its icons without scrolling. The new set of icons will be saved in the allegro-ide-options.cl file (as the value of the standard-toolbar-icons property) whenever the configuration options are saved (typically at Lisp exit, to be restored in later Lisp sessions). Note that there is no provision to add or remove the vertical separator bars.
The configuration (the arrangement of windows) and various choices options, like the editor mode, are stored in the file &allegro-ide-options.cl. Many of these options may be modified by displaying the Options dialog (click Tools | Options). The allegro-ide-options.cl file is generated automatically when Allegro CL exits (unless Tools | Save Options on Exit is toggled off). You can write the allegro-ide-options.cl file at any time by choosing Tools | Save Options Now. If you want to get the original configuration, remove or rename allegro-ide-options.cl before starting Allegro CL. Note that allegro-ide-options.cls hould not be edited by hand.
Applications typically display one or more windows (including dialogs) when run. These display information to the user and collect input from the user. You design these windows by placing components on a form while you are designing the interface.
Components that you can use while designing in a form are displayed on Widget Palette displayed with Form | Show Widget Palette.
To put a component on a form, click on the button corresponding to the desired component on the toolbar and then click or press the mouse button on the blank form. The component with default size will be placed where you click. Pressing the mouse button anchors one corner of the component on the form. If you release the mouse button at once, the component with default size is placed on the form. If you hold the mouse button down and move the mouse, a rubber band outline shows the proposed exterior of the component. Releasing the button places the component with the specified size and location.
Components on a form can be resized, moved, or deleted at will. As a component is moved, alignment cues appear when it is in alignment with other controls on the form. Components can also be copied by selecting and clicking Edit | Copy. Paste then places them on the same form or on another form (you cannot control the location of the paste but you can move the component as desired after pasting).
When a component is selected on a form, it can be resized as desired using the sizing handles (the little solid squares about the control). You can reposition the component by clicking inside the component but not on a sizing handle and dragging the mouse. Also, when a component has been selected, the Inspector displays information about the component. Many properties in an inspector window can be modified directly, and those modifications show up on the component on the form when the inspector is modified.
You can select more than one component: select one, then click on others while the shift key is down. Each selected component has hollow handles (rather than solid sizing handles). The components cannot be resized as a group but can be moved as a group, and the Inspector shows properties common to all selected components and change likewise affects them all. You can also use rectangular selection to select several components at once. Press the left button away from any component and move the mouse, which causes a rubber band box, anchored where the button was pressed, to be displayed. All components within the box when the button is released will be selected.
When a component is selected on a form, it can be resized or moved with the mouse. In this example, the radio button is selected. Notice the small dark squares surrounding the radio button in the illustration. They are sizing handles. When the cursor moves over one of the solid sizing handles, it changes to one of the standard resizing cursors. If you click when the cursor is one of the resizing cursors, then you can resize the component.
As a component is moved or resized, alignment cues appear when appropriate to allow accurate alignment of the component with other components on the form.
Changes other than moving or resizing can be made with the Inspector. When a component is selected, the Inspector displays information about the component. Here is the Inspector inspecting the radio button control from the illustration above:
The object being inspected is identified by name in the box just below the title (:radio-button-1 in the illustration). The box is a combo-box and previously inspected objects are shown in its drop-down menu. Choosing one changes the inspection to that object. Clicking the button to the left inspects the object inspected just before the current object. The buttons below, labeled Properties, Events, and Internals (those are the usual buttons for a component; other types of objects have different buttons), allow inspection of different aspects of an object. For a component, the properties mostly affect the appearance; the events name functions to be called when an event (mouse click, e.g.) happens to the component; and internals are features of the component that can be looked at but should not, in general, be changed.
The illustration shows the properties pane. Property names are listed on the left and values on the right. If an editable property value is selected (as name is in the illustration), the value can be changed, either by typing a new value directly or by clicking on the extended editor button to the right of the value slot. The extended editor button illustrated has three dots, indicating a text control will appear allowing input of a new name.
Other extended editors include a font choices dialog, a color choice dialog, the menu
editor, and others. If the values are true and false only, the extended editor button will
toggle between t
and nil
(button with a check mark, for example,
the available property). If there are only a few values, it will display a list of all
possible values. For example, for the border property the button looks like a down
arrow (not shown in above graphic).
Inappropriate values will not be accepted; for example, only a color or nil are appropriate for background-color and other values will be rejected. Certain properties are read-only and they cannot, of course, be modified.
Clicking on the name side causes the current value to be inspected. If you click over name in the illustration (value :radio-button-1), you see the inspection of that symbol.
It is useful while using a form to design an application window to see what the window will look like and how it will behave when the application is run. Clicking Run | Run Form causes the window associated with the selected form to be created and displayed. Components are active and respond to the mouse. Look at the Window list (click on View | Window List). You will see two windows named form1 (or whatever you have named the selected form). One is the actual form (which you are designing) and the other is a window built from your design. (The running window exactly covers the design form so the fact that there are two windows is not immediately noticeable.) Clicking Run | Stop closes the running window (as you see if you update the Window List) and re-exposes the design form. Note that when we say `form' in this manual, we do not mean the running window corresponding to the form.
Clicking Run | Run Project invokes the Project Init Function in a separate thread. In the default, this function makes and displays the window associated with the main form of the project so only that window is run unless you have changed the Init Function. This does not matter if your project has only one window. If your project has several windows, Run | Run Form can be used to examine a specific window and Run | Run Project to test the application as a whole. (You have presumably either changed the Init Function or made other programmatic changes to cause the other windows to be displayed.)
Events (mouse motions, mouse button clicks, keys pressed on the keyboard, and combinations of those things) are a common way for a user to communicate with an application. When a component is selected on a form, the Inspector window has an Events tab. Displaying this shows the event handlers associated with the component. The value of an event handler is either nil meaning there is no event handler to run or a symbol naming a function. The event handler function is called when the specified event occurs to the component in the running window. There is a simple example illustrating events and handlers at the beginning of chapter 8.
A project is a collection of modules used to build an application. The modules can be of various types, including application source files, forms, libraries (.dll files), and other projects. See chapter 4 Projects for more information on projects, on managing projects, and on the Project Manager window.
Each module is associated with one or more files and taken together with necessary pieces of Allegro CL itself, these files comprise the application. Tools are provided for testing an application and for preparing an application for delivery, again as described in chapter 4.
The Project Manager dialog, displayed by clicking View | Project Manager, is a visual display of the current state of a project, showing the modules associated with it, and the name and certain other options of the project. You can use the Project Manager to assist in managing the project and in testing and building the application associated with the project. This is the project manager for the final doodler project created by the doodler tutorial.
When you are editing a file in the Editor, clicking File | Save (or using the Save toolbar button) saves the file to disk, prompting you if necessary for a filename. Save also saves the files associated with a form when clicked while a form is selected. Save All saves all editors with unsaved changes, all forms with unsaved changes and the project file if necessary. (When the Project Manager has focus, Save saves the project (.lpr) file.)
There is online help. In many cases, pressing the F1 key displays help for the currently-selected symbol. If no appropriate page can be determined, a dialog is displayed saying that. A dialog is also displayed if the currently-selected symbol names more than one kind of object (a class and a function, for example). Help | Help on Selected Symbol is the same as pressing F1. When a dialog has focus, Help | Help on Selected Dialog displays the help page for the dialog if there is one.
Help | Tree of Knowledge displays an outline of the Common Graphics/IDE documentation with links to the various pages and files.
Other sources for help:

"Anthony came highly recommended from a good friend of ours at the time of purchase of our first home. Anthony was easy to talk to, incredibly knowledgeable, and quick to get things rolling. Not to mention, he was able to let us know of the best rates and listened to our needs to help us identify and secure the best rate and a mortgage that fit our needs. Being first time homebuyers, we really didn’t know much about the process but he was always easily reachable, giving us guidance, recommendations and explaining everything step by step. Anthony made sure to keep us updated, and explained next steps in advance, which allowed us to be fully prepared with all information and documents needed, in order to speed up the process - our mortgage closed quickly and without any issues. Anthony made the whole process very easy, always had time to answer questions, and was willing to take the time to teach us exactly what we needed to know. After the deal closed, Anthony has continued to check in with us, keeping us updated of market changes, and seeing if we needed any support given current events and ongoing economic developments. We highly recommend Anthony and are grateful for all of his support!"
“We were referred to Anthony by a very close friend that is also our Relator. We were in the beginning of the process to buy our first home when we were caught in the middle of the COVID19 pandemic. Everything went crazy and that is when we found Anthony, who literally saved us! He is a very knowledgeable, patient and trustworthy professional. He was able to find a deal that was perfect for us and worked intensively on all the details. As immigrants and first time home buyers we had many questions but he was always available to give us all the attention and quick feedback during the entire process. Anthony really took care of us and helped us make a dream come true. Thank you!!”
“I was working with another mortgage broker when I put a deposit down on a new property. After my broker was not being responsive enough for my liking, I was recommended to Anthony from a family member. Anthony was extremely responsive and was able to get me a better rate at a better lender than the broker who I’d been working with originally. I made the switch to Anthony and never looked back! The property closed without any issues and Anthony was there with me every step of the way. Since then Anthony has always been available for help, guidance, and to answer any questions I have about my current mortgage as well as new opportunities. When my mortgage was up for renewal recently, Anthony explained a bunch of different options I had at the time, and we picked the best option available which I was very happy with. Anthony has been my trusted mortgage specialist since we were introduced, and I look forward to him guiding me though my real estate goals in the future.”
“I was introduced to Anthony by a colleague of mine. I was a first- time home buyer and didn’t really know where to begin (how much I qualified for, what the proper steps were etc). After speaking with Anthony he laid out all the steps for me, collected my documents, and discussed a number of different options for me. After some strategizing Anthony got me a pre-approval at a lender that was offering a great rate and product. During the house hunt we communicated regularly, often well into the evening/ weekends since I worked throughout the day. After looking at a bunch of properties I decided to purchase a new-build condo. Anthony helped me get approved for the pre-build and I’m excited to be moving into the property soon. Anthony was extremely informative and helpful throughout the entire process. He helped guide me in this new process, and was available whenever I needed him. Highly recommended!”
“I recently purchased another property and Anthony Basciano was my trusted mortgage broker. His knowledge, insight, resourcefulness, professionalism, advocacy and understanding of how I wanted to approach this process were helpful and bar none. If you are considering buying a property, he is your guy. He secured me an all-time low rate and worked with me through the entire process. Thanks agent Bas!”
“I’m a realtor who was introduced to Anthony a number of years ago. Since then we have shared a number of clients. During the deals process I have noticed Anthony is very Hands-On and takes responsibility for his role in every transaction. He has worked closely with both first time home buyers and with more experienced purchasers and his step-by-step approach is greatly appreciated. I would recommend a meeting with Anthony to review your financing options.”


A film by Leni Reifenstahl
We all know that Leni Reifenstahl was a great filmaker but dealt in a sordid subject (Triumph of the Will) that eternally put a black mark against her name.
This film, which is the 85 minute second part of the film commisioned by the 1936 Olympic Committee is a work of pure genius. The photography, the music, the editing specifically will never be equalled because no director of genius will ever make a film of the Olympics again and that is required to equal something like this. I have yet to see part one but I read that it is 3 hours in total.
Besides what I mentioned, 3 segments come in for special mention. The Decathalon won by Glenn Morris of the US, The Modern pentathalon and the equstrian. What really brings it home is the specatcle of military officers competing for all these nations that would ultimately be invaded and occupied by Nazi Germany competing on horses in both the MP and the Equestrian. And seeing those Nazi officers at the jumps while their soon to be enemies are jumping over fences and particularly the great scene with the jump into the river with all the competitors flying off the horses and face down into the river. I will never forget that.
One thing I noticed was that all events were in the open including Gymnastics which were certainly in the stone ages in comparison to the level today.
On the jacket of the video box, it says that Holywood "considered it a hymn to Hitler's beliefs" and shunned it.At least in this part, I don't understand where that came from.

A design philosophy where you create a grid structure dividing the page up into columns and rows to house all of your elements. This makes it easy to lay out our elements in a visually appealling way.
Web traffic isn't only from computers, a huge portion actually browse on mobile phones or tablets, and each of those devices have very different screen sizes. You don't want your webpage to only work for some of those screen sizes and looked smooshed or unreadable on some, so web designers need to make webpages 'responsive', meaning they will respond to the size of the screen viewing it and adjust css accordingly to create a suitable design.
The structure of what each section means. It's tags like div

Mourinho to Tottenham opens ‘escape route’ for player – Move to Spurs being pushed
by Sport Witness TeamSeveral things were inevitable once Jose Mourinho was named Tottenham’s new manager.
The fanbase would be split, the English press would almost combust with excitement, old enemies in the Spanish media would predict doom for Spurs, and Gareth Bale would be linked with a return to his former club.
Step forward AS, who have already ticked the boxes for the last two inevitabilities. Earlier today they published an article talking about Mourinho’s ‘propaganda’ getting him a job he doesn’t really deserve.
Now they have the Bale claim.
Mourinho’s wish to have Bale at Manchester United was no secret, the manager spoke about it publicly, and according to the Spanish newspaper he’ll now ask Daniel Levy to get the player to Tottenham.
Bale therefore has an ‘escape route’ open for him, and AS have a further interesting snippet. At the beginning of the season, when Zinedine Zidane was wobbling at Real Madrid, the club had a chat with Mourinho.
According to to the story, Jose’s camp told Madrid ‘there were recoverable players in Los Blancos’ squad, such as Bale.’
Real Madrid would be able to solve a problem of their own, and Tottenham could get the signing for far less than Mourinho has been quoted previously.
AS contacted Jonathan Barnett, Bale’s agent, who told them the Welshman won’t move in the winter market, but in the summer things could be different.


22 Customer Retention Strategies that Work
Managing your customer retention rate is an incredibly important part of growing a sustainable business.
Before we look at strategies for improving customer retention, let’s raise a few questions and put a critical data point front and center.
According to research from Harvard Business School, increasing customer retention rates by 5 percent increases profits by 25 percent to 95 percent. Good to know, but exactly does retention mean?
What is customer retention?
Customer retention rate is how well a company keeps its paying customers over a period of time. Peter Drucker once said the purpose of a business is to make and keep a customer. Retention deals with the latter.
A low retention rate is similar to filling a bucket with holes in the bottom — sure, you could keep piling on to make up for it, or you could figure out what caused the holes and how you can patch them up. Retaining customers costs less than acquiring them, and both add to your company’s bottom line; revenue doesn’t care where it comes from, earned or saved.
How to improve your customer retention rate
At Help Scout, we’re all about building relationships with new customers, but we also believe that great customer service, engagement, and education are more than just the right thing to do — they’re also good for business.
To help you increase your own retention rates, we’ve compiled a list of our 20 favorite techniques, many backed by academic research and case studies on consumer behavior, on increasing customer loyalty.
22 Strategies to Increase Customer Retention
- Stand for something
- Use positive social proof
- Invoke the inner ego
- Position around the before and after
- Use the words they love to hear
- Reduce pain points and friction
- Capture your product’s momentum
- Don’t just sell — educate
- Don’t overspend to delight
- Make use of surprise reciprocity
- Don’t underestimate the power of ‘thank you’
- Make it personal
- Reduce effort before delivering delight
- Accept that speed is secondary to quality
- Know your customers
- Choose the right platform
- Make it a communal effort
- Solve cause and effect
- Give loyal customers a head start
- Make ideal customers VIPs
- Reward your loyal advocates
- Assign your customers positive labels
22 customer retention strategies that work
It’s hard to retain customers if they aren’t even paying attention to you. Below are our favorite bits of research on how clear communication and messaging helps create engagement and loyal customers.
1. Stand for something
Customers are more likely to ignore you if your company doesn’t stand for anything. Research from the Corporate Executive Board that included 7,000 consumers from across the U.S. found that of those consumers who said they had a strong relationship with a brand, 64 percent cited shared values as the primary reason. If you want loyal customers, you need create real connections with them. What do you stand for?
2. Use positive social proof
While negative social proof ("Nearly 90 percent of websites don’t use heat mapping software!") has been proven to dissuade customers rather than encourage them, numerous studies on customer acquisition have shown that positive social proof (like testimonials) are commonly the most effective strategy for getting people to listen and trust your brand.
3. Invoke the inner ego
Most people prefer products and companies that “resemble” them in some way. This cognitive bias is called implicit egotism, and is an important thing to keep in mind when talking to customers. To attract the customers you want, you need to identify your target customers down to the last detail, then craft a message that matches their pains, goals and aspirations. It’s easier to fill this existing demand than to create one.
4. Position around the before and after
“This is your world before our product, and this is your world after.” Providing a contrast for customers can make for powerful marketing, but first you have to understand where they are (how they describe their pain) and where they want to be (how they frame their solution). Speak to that, and show how your product can bridge the gap, and you’ll catch their interest.
Tactics for customer marketing and education
If customers don’t enjoy your education, marketing, and sales process, they’ll likely never do business with you again. Selling to customers the right way is an integral part of creating customer loyalty. Below are a few studies to help you improve the process.
5. Use the words they love to hear
Not all words are created equal. Certain words encourage customers to buy more than others. In particular: free, new and instantly. When customers hear these words, and the promises they imply are backed up, they’ll enjoy their purchases more than they would have otherwise.
6. Reduce pain points and friction
All businesses, no matter the industry, are going to have to sell to the three types of buyers that are out there. According to research from Wharton Business School, nearly a quarter of these buyers will be conservative spenders, or “tightwad” customers. George Loewenstein of Carnegie Mellon University recommends using bundles, reassuring words (e.g., change “a $5 fee” to “a small $5 fee”) and reframing as a better way to sell to conservative buyers.
7. Capture your product’s momentum
When exciting improvements are being made to your product, everyone in the company feels the momentum. But do your customers feel the same way? They won’t unless you take the time to share your work. Today this often falls under the growing list of product marketing responsibilities, but either way it’s the execution that counts.
Create excitement with current customers by showing them what your latest features let them accomplish. As we prepare to introduce major improvements to our Beacon product, for example (such as the addition of live chat), we’ve been running a series of preview posts (like this, and this) to generate excitement about everything customers will be able to accomplish with these new tools.
8. Don’t just sell — educate
According to serial entrepreneur David Skok, sales is often more effective when you have an existing relationship with a customer, and when you’ve already provided value. This matches up with research from TARP Worldwide, which shows customers do enjoy receiving helpful recommendations on new information and products that will help them achieve better results.
The last thing you want to do is leave customers to fend for themselves after they’ve signed up. That’s why we offer ongoing classes and a customer support blog for the customer service community. Anyone using our product can get free ongoing training and be as successful as possible.
Delivering surprise reciprocity and delight
Reciprocity is the social construct that makes the world go ’round and keeps customers coming back. The premise is simple: when “delighting” customers makes sense, it’s best served up as a surprise.
9. Don’t overspend to delight
Handing out discounts and freebies can be costly. Instead, you should embrace the art of the frugal wow — creating reciprocity through small, thoughtful gestures. In fact, psychologist Norbert Schwarz found that as little as 10 cents can create reciprocity between two individuals (it really is the thought that counts).
One small way we try to consistently brighten our customers’ day is by building what we call “huzzah” images into our product — a fun illustration and caption that appears when you reach inbox zero.

It may seem like a small thing, but if you can make people feel good about using your product, they’ll be more likely to stick around.
10. Make use of surprise reciprocity
Although reciprocity works incredibly well on its own, research shows it’s far more powerful when started by surprise. For a simple example, recall a time that someone did something nice for you unexpectedly — the gesture probably wasn’t all that unusual, but the fact that it came out of nowhere left a strong impression on you.
11. Don’t underestimate the power of ‘thank you’
Companies like Nordstrom, Zappos and Wufoo are known for thanking their customers via handwritten snail mail. They understand that old-school, handwritten thank-you notes are a low-cost, high-impact customer retention strategy.
Thank-you notes are still a rare throwback to old-fashioned, personal customer service — they stand out as a delightful gesture that makes customers feel special and cared for. The relationship-building is well worth the relatively minimal investment.
12. Make it personal
In a study from the Journal of Applied Social Psychology, researchers found that waiters and waitresses could increase their tips by 23 percent by the simple act of returning to tables with a second set of mints. The researchers concluded that the mints created the feeling of a personalized experience for the customers who received them. So, it was the personalized service that made their day, not the small gift in itself.
13. Reduce effort before delivering delight
Many companies assume “exceptional” customer service can only be achieved by going above-and-beyond; that loyalty is built on showy gestures. According to research from Dixon, Toman, and DeLisi published in The Effortless Experience, the true driver of customer retention and loyalty is the ease of getting a problem solved — delight isn’t the foundation of a customer service strategy, but rather a second-order effect. First, focus on consistently meeting expectations and avoiding unpleasant surprises. Then go the extra mile.
How great service retains customers
You can’t build customer loyalty without an exceptional customer service to keep people coming back. Let’s debunk a few customer service myths, as well as tackle some important things you need to keep in mind when offering support online.
14. Accept that speed is secondary to quality
When it comes to highly rated customer service, data show that quality and completeness matter more than speed. According to research from the Gallup Group, customers were nine times more likely to be engaged with a brand when they evaluated the service as “courteous, willing, and helpful,” versus the “speedy” evaluation, which only made customers six times more likely to be satisfied.
15. Know your customers
Telling your team to spend more time with customers might seem like folly, but smart entrepreneurs know that isn’t the case. Numerous behavioral psychology studies have shown that everybody views their service experience as more positive when they don’t feel rushed or ignored. Don’t spend time idly, though; have employees attempt to find out key customer traits, just like Derek Sivers did at CDBaby.
16. Choose the right platform
The best way to improve your customer service efforts is to utilize the channel your customers most prefer. Research has shown the death of email support has been greatly exaggerated. However, you need to pick the channel that makes the most sense for your business. Hosting companies, for example, know that live chats are critical when their customers’ sites go down; other companies may have customers who prefer using self-service, or even phone support.
17. Make it a communal effort
Countless case studies have made one thing clear when it comes to creating an efficient support system: You need to keep everybody in the loop. At Help Scout, we use our integration with Slack to access real-time notifications of what’s happening on the customer end; we were able to improve our response time by 340% (not a typo!) by creating a support channel for all of our teammates.
18. Solve cause and effect
It isn’t enough for your customer service team to apologize; their main goal should be to solve for the immediate problem, but to also find and flag the root cause. In doing so, they can solve a systemic issue and help other customers avoid it altogether. Reducing problems is key — in fact, research conducted by John Goodman found that customers were much more sensitive to price changes, and thus more likely to churn, when they experienced a few problems with the product or the support they received.
Designing sticky retention programs
The key to creating loyalty programs that work is to know why customers use them and what gets customers to keep using them. Below you’ll find consumer research that answers these questions.
19. Give loyal customers a head start
Consumer researchers Joseph Nunes and Xavier Dreze are known for their studies on the Endowed Progress Effect. Their results have conclusively shown that the biggest pitfall in preventing customer loyalty programs from succeeding is getting people started. In their well-known car wash study, participants were twice as likely to finish loyalty cards when they were automatically started (or rewarded) as soon as they signed up.
20. Make ideal customers VIPs
Additional research by Dr. Nunes on retention programs has shown that people love being VIP, or “gold” members. There is one caveat, though — this only works when people know there is a class below them on the totem pole. Speaking to human nature, Nunes saw a notable increase in gold members’ participation as soon as he implemented a silver class.
21. Reward your loyal advocates
When your customers go out of their way to recommend your product or service to others, let them know that you see and appreciate it! If you spot someone recommending your business on social media, for example, reply to say thanks — it shows you’re paying attention, and that their testimony means something to you.
Another way to recognize your brand advocates is with a referral program — Help Scout is currently giving existing customers a $100 Amazon gift card when they refer someone who becomes a customer (and that new customer gets a $50 credit on their account).
22. Assign your customers positive labels
Research on voting patterns conducted by Stanford University revealed people are more likely to participate in something if they are labeled with a positive trait. Buffer refer to their premium customers as “awesome” members, and even named their upgraded payment plan the Awesome Plan — a much easier phrase to embrace than “paid member.”
Retaining customers is a balancing act
There are many tactics, but no shortcuts; you can’t “hack” a personal relationship, so why should we assume business relationships are any different? Truth is, the tactics above should hopefully give you some fresh ideas for approaching retention, but they’re not a cure-all.
Your product and service will do most of the heavy lifting in keeping customers loyal, and there are no shortcuts for that.


At the time of writing I am still recovering from my horrendous ordeal. Over 24 hours later I still have no desire to eat anything. I am not anti-drugs in any way. I frequently smoke hashish (without tobacco as nicotine makes me feel sick) and have done salvia divinorum and herbal ecstasy. I am currently researching 'magic mushrooms' as I feel I am ready to try them. I believe that people should have the right to try what they like, and be free from incorrect anti-drug propoganda from the government and other globalistic evil societies. I find it ironic that the drugs that cause the most problems (alcohol and nicotine) are legal in almost every country worldwide. Anyway, on to the experience...
I have tried alcohol in small amounts before, at parties and at home, but never have I been 'really drunk'. I recieve a call from my girlfriend and she asks me to come drinking with her and her friends. I usually do not go in for this sort of thing, but wish to see her, as I have not seen her for a few days. I accept, the kids I am going with are all younger than me. When I tell them that I have hash with me they seem to become nervous, and I pretend I am only joking, to put their minds at rest. I never drink and smoke at the same time anyway, as alcohol diminishes the subtle effects of the magic smoke, so it doesn't matter.
(T+00hrs)We reach the old warehouse where one of the kids opens his rucksack. He offers me a can but I decline. Then he produces a litre of vodka. They all try some but say it burns their throats. To prove them wrong I drink half the bottle in one go. It doesn't burn.
(T+30mins) Things get bad. I had no idea that I would get this drunk.  Suddenly my girlfriend is on me. I immensly enjoy her company. After an hour or so, everyone goes outside so we can have some privacy. I realise that I love her.
(T+2hrs) Everyone returns. I become angry. On of the kids is trying it on with my girlfriend. She rejects him and I resist the urge to punch his face in. I am normally very peaceful, but this anger scares me. It becomes hard to focus. I believe the wall is looking at me. I punch it. It doesn't hurt so I punch it again, and then again. Someone stops me. My hand is bleeding fairly badly.
(T+3hrs) I get sick. My girlfriend is just as drunk as I am, yet she helps me. I can see blood in my vomit and what I think are chunks of flesh. We all decide to leave. We stagger to a nearby fast food restraunt and go inside. My girlfriend and I sit down, I
Knock over a chair in the process. The other kids buy food.  I look at myself in the mirror. I am horrified. There is blood all over my clothes. My skin is pale and my eyes are red. I look like a heroin abuser, or some sort of hooligan.
(T+3hrs 30mins) My father arrives.  I get into the car. It is dark so he doesn't suspect anything. I am sure he wouldn't mind if I explained to him but I don't. As soon as we get home I go upstairs and lie down on my bed. There are three people inside my head. They are all arguing. Eventually, I fall into an uneasy sleep.
Summary: For me, alcohol is a drug which doesn’t alter consciousness; rather it diminishes that consciousness which already exists. Objects remain objects, yet they are filled with a certain malevolent quality. It is destructive rather than constructive. It makes it impossible for a man to make good decisions. It fuels anger. From now on I think I shall expand my mind, and stick to psychedelics, instead of destroying it with alcohol.

1. How to Build¶
This page outlines steps to preparing the workflow applications, or “Backend Applications”, on your local desktop.
1.1. Install Dependencies¶
First, ensure the following dependencies are installed:
C++11 compliant compiler: many of the workflow applications included use C++11 features, consequently they may need a newer C++11 compliant compiler. In these instructions, MSVC in Visual Studio (Community edition) is used.
OpenSees: The workflow applications require an installation of OpenSees to carry out structural analysis using the finite element method.
DAKOTA: The workflow applications require an installation of DAKOTA to handle and propagate the uncertainties defined in the input files for the workflow applications.
Python: The workflow requires Python 3.6.
Conan: This repository uses Conan for dependency management. Conan is a python library and can be installed using the following instructions. Version 1.25 or later is recommended.
CMake: This repository uses CMake for managing the build process. Version 3.15 or later is recommended.
Qt Creator: The Qt framework is only necessary if you choose to build the user interface for the RDT software. Qt Creator is free for open source developers. Version 5.10 or later is required, and version 5.12 or later is recommended.
1.2. Build the Workflow Application Files¶
Instructions to build the workflow applications on your local desktop depend on your operating system.
1.2.1. Build on Windows¶
For Windows systems, the steps to building the workflow application are as follows:
Obtain the source code: Clone the SimCenterBackendApplications repository from Github. You can do that by using your preferred Git client/GUI or by using the
git clone
command in the terminal:
git clone https://github.com/NHERI-SimCenter/SimCenterBackendApplications
Set up the development environment: Add Conan SimCenter and BinCrafters repositories to the Conan remotes. You can add these remotes using the following commands in the terminal:
conan remote add simcenter https://api.bintray.com/conan/nheri-simcenter/simcenter
conan remote add bincrafters https://api.bintray.com/conan/bincrafters/public-conan
Configure your compiler: Check the default profile of your build environment using
conan profile show default
. If the compiler name and compiler version are not listed, then you will need to select a specific compiler. For instance, on Windows using Visual Studio 2019, you can specify the compiler as follows:
conan profile update settings.compiler="Visual Studio" default
conan profile update settings.compiler.version="16" default
Create the build output directory: In the terminal, navigate into the “SimCenterBackendApplications” repository on your desktop. Create a new folder called “build” using the command
mkdir build
, then navigate into that folder usingcd build
.Install backend dependencies: You can install backend dependencies using Conan by running the command in the build output directory:
conan install .. --build missing
Run CMake configuration: Run the command
cmake ..
. If it is necessary to specify a compiler for CMake, you may alternatively runcmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"
.Build the release version of the backend: When using an IDE like Visual Studio on Windows, the generated project can opened in the IDE and used to build the code. This function can also be done from the same terminal window using CMake by the command:
cmake --build . --config release
Install the workflow applications folder: Run the command
cmake --install .
. If the installation and build are successful, then you should find a folder called “applications” in the “SimCenterBackendApplications” repository which contains all the workflow application files.
1.2.2. Build on MacOS¶
For Mac systems, the steps to building the workflow application are as follows:
Obtain the source code: Clone the RDT repository from RDT Github page. You can do that by using your preferred Git client/GUI or by using the
git clone
command in the terminal.Set up the development environment: Add Conan SimCenter and BinCrafters repositories to the Conan remotes. You can add these remotes using the following commands in the terminal:
conan remote add simcenter https://api.bintray.com/conan/nheri-simcenter/simcenter
conan remote add bincrafters https://api.bintray.com/conan/bincrafters/public-conan
Configure your compiler: Check the default profile of your build environment using
conan profile show default
. If the compiler name and compiler version are not listed, then you will need to select a specific compiler. For instance, on Windows using Visual Studio 2019, you can specify the compiler as follows:
conan profile update settings.compiler="Visual Studio" default
conan profile update settings.compiler.version="16" default
Create the build output directory: In the terminal, navigate into the “SimCenterBackendApplications” repository on your desktop. Create a new folder called “build” using the command
mkdir build
, then navigate into that folder usingcd build
.Install backend dependencies: You can install backend dependencies using Conan by running the command in the build output directory:
conan install ..
Run CMake configuration: Run the command
cmake ..
. If it is necessary to specify a compiler for CMake, you may alternatively runcmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"
.Build the release version of the backend: When using an IDE like XCode on Mac, the generated project can opened in the IDE and used to build the code. This function can also be done from the same terminal window using CMake by the command:
cmake --build . --config release
Install the workflow applications folder: Run the command
cmake --install .
. If the installation and build are successful, then you should find a folder called “applications” in the “SimCenterBackendApplications” repository which contains all the workflow application files.
1.2.3. Build on Unix¶
For Unix systems, the steps to building the workflow application are as follows:
Obtain the source code: Clone the RDT repository from RDT Github page. You can do that by using your preferred Git client/GUI or by using the
git clone
command in the terminal.Set up the development environment: Add Conan SimCenter and BinCrafters repositories to the Conan remotes. You can add these remotes using the following commands in the terminal:
conan remote add simcenter https://api.bintray.com/conan/nheri-simcenter/simcenter
conan remote add bincrafters https://api.bintray.com/conan/bincrafters/public-conan
Configure your compiler: Check the default profile of your build environment using
conan profile show default
. If the compiler name and compiler version are not listed, then you will need to select a specific compiler. For instance, on Windows using Visual Studio 2019, you can specify the compiler as follows:
conan profile update settings.compiler="Visual Studio" default
conan profile update settings.compiler.version="16" default
Create the build output directory: In the terminal, navigate into the “SimCenterBackendApplications” repository on your desktop. Create a new folder called “build” using the command
mkdir build
, then navigate into that folder usingcd build
.Install backend dependencies: You can install backend dependencies using Conan by running the command in the build output directory:
conan install ..
Run CMake configuration: Run the command
cmake ..
. If it is necessary to specify a compiler for CMake, you may alternatively runcmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019"
.Build the release version of the backend: On Unix-based systems, building the backend can be achieved using the command
make
ormake release
.Install the workflow applications folder: Run the command
cmake --install .
. If the installation and build are successful, then you should find a folder called “applications” in the “SimCenterBackendApplications” repository which contains all the workflow application files.
1.3. Build the User Interface¶
1.3.1. Build using the Qt Creator (Recommended)¶
Start Qt Creator, then open the RDT.pro file located in the RDT directory that was downloaded in the previous steps.
Setup the development kit in Qt Creator. This is usually done by selecting the Qt version, compiler and configuration and following the onscreen dialog.
Build the application and run it in Qt Creator IDE by using the Run button. This can be done using the keyboard shortcut
F5
to build and start the tool.
1.3.2. Build using the terminal¶
First, create a build output directory. This can be done in the terminal using the command
mkdir build
.Go into the build output directory and run QMake to Configure the project and create make files. This can be done by using the command:
qmake ../RDT.proBuild the project by using the command
make
on Unix like systems. On Windows, you can either usenmake
orjom
to build in parallel. Once built, you can now run the tool executable.
1.4. Set the User Interface Preferences¶
Once built, Open the RDT tool, then click on file -> preferences and set the applications directory entry to point to the applications folder that the build process created for BackendApplications.

It All Began in the 90's
Not to be confused with Java
- It was created in 10 days in May 1995 by Brendan Eich
- The original name was Mocha, a name chosen by Marc Andreessen
- In September of 1995 the name was changed to LiveScript
In December of 1995 upon receiving a trademark license from Sun, the name JavaScript was adopted.
A Brief History
- 1996 - 1997 JavaScript was taken to ECMA to carve out a standard specification
- ECMAScript 2 in 1998
- ECMAScript 3 in 1999, which is the baseline for modern day JavaScript
- In early 2009 to rename ECMAScript 3.1 to ECMAScript 5
Versions and Evolution
Features
- Universal support
- Imperative and structured
- Dynamic
- Prototype-based (object-oriented)
- Functional
- Delegative
- Miscellaneous
- Vendor-specific extensions

Using a simulation framework like OESjs means that only the model-specific logic has to be coded (in the form of object types, event types, event routines and other functions for model-specific computations), but not the general simulator operations (e.g., time progression and statistics) and the environment handling (e.g., user interfaces for statistics output and visualization).
The following sections present important simulation programming issues.

maximise the joint density of a model) and change their tuning parameters,

jQuery's manipulation methods allow you to alter the DOM of your page using a syntax that's much friendlier than the one provided by native DOM manipulation methods. Manipulation methods return the jQuery object on which they were called, which means you can chain them or combine them with other jQuery methods such as the ones discussed above.
$( 'li' ).addClass( 'hidden' ); $( 'li' ).eq( 1 ).removeClass( 'hidden' ); $( 'li' ).eq( 1 ).toggleClass( 'hidden' );
$( 'input[type="text"]' ).val( 'new value' ); $( 'select' ).val( '2' ); $( 'input[type="checkbox"]' ).prop( 'checked', 'checked' );
var input = $( 'input[type="text"]' ); input.val( 'new value' ); input.val(); // returns 'new value'
jQuery lets us "traverse" — or move through — the HTML elements that make up our page. First, we make an initial selection, and then move through the DOM relative to that selection. As we move through the DOM, we're altering our original selection; in some cases, we're replacing the original selection with the new selection, while in other cases, we're adding to or subtracting from the original selection.
var listItems = $( 'li' ); // filter the selection to only items with a class of 'special' var special = listItems.filter( '.special' ); // filter the selection to only items without a class of 'special' var notSpecial = listItems.not( '.special' ); // filter the selection to only items that contain a span var hasSpans = listItems.has( 'span' );
// get the first list item on the page var listItem = $( 'li' ).first(); // also: .last() // get the siblings of the list item var siblings = listItem.siblings(); // get the next sibling of the list item var nextSibling = listItem.next(); // also: .prev() // get the list item's parent var list = listItem.parent(); // get the list items that are immediate children of the list var listItems = list.children(); // get ALL list items in the list, including nested ones var allListItems = list.find( 'li' ); // find all ancestors of the list item that have a class of "module" var modules = listItem.parents( '.module' ); // find the closest ancestor of the list item that has a class of "module" var module = listItem.closest( '.module' );

Allergies
Allergies become common during Summer season, or areas residing in warmer climate areas. The allergies involved in a Shiba Inu are runny or swollen eyes, sneezing, atopy. The common symptoms that may appear with allergies is constant ear infections, rubbing of the face, and licking paws. Some of these symptoms may potentially be fleas. It's good to make sure that the Shiba Inu is living in a clean sanitary environment.
Obesity
Being active and exercise is essential in keeping the Shiba Inu healthy and away from being obesity. A minimum of one hour of exercise everyday is needed for the Shiba Inu, though the more exercise the better. Not enough exercise may lead them to unhealthy lifestyles that can result in constant barking and obesity.
Glaucoma
A disease that's vulnerable to the eyes. Glaucoma slowly destroys the nerves in the eyes through the build up of fluids on the eyes. The severity of glaucoma may vary and can be treated. Blindness can become a factor if glaucoma isn't treated at all or properly. Eye drops are available to reduce the amount of fluid build up onto the Shiba Inus eyes. Though it is advised to make a trip to the vet to get the Shiba evaluated.
Cataracts
Cataracts is another health concern to the Shiba Inus eyes. Cataracts will appear to older Shibas and can cause a cloudy appearance on the eyes that will affect their vision. Surgeries can be done to relieve the cloudy appearance to restore their vision.
Hypothyroidism
When the thyroid doesn't develop properly, it may lead to hypothyroidism. This will directly affect the Shiba Inus metabolism and can cause them to become obese, hair loss, behavioral changes. A trip to the vet is needed and can be solved through medication. If hypothyroidism is left untreated, then this may lead to serious issues for the Shiba Inu.
