What does the sample do?
This sample simulates near real-time updates of a portfolio, based on simulated "live" events from financial markets.
Description of the problem to solve
We have:
- a portfolio, made of a number of trades T1, ..., Tn
- a number of pieces of market data such as stocks or index tickers D1, ..., Dp
- each trade depends on one or several pieces of market data, for instance:
- T1 depends on D1 and D3
- T2 depends on D2, D3, D4
- T3 depends on D1, D5
- etc...
The market emits frequent data update events. When market data Di is updated, each trade that depends on it must be recomputed.
The number of trades is large enough, and their computation time long enough, that their computation must be distributed over a number of nodes, in order to keep up with the pace of market events.
Description of the solution
The overall architecture of the solution is as follows:
The ticker component simulates market events by picking up, at chosen intervals, a random piece of market data, and notifying the application (JPPF client) as well as the nodes.
To optimize the load on the nodes, the trades are partitioned into multiple groups, each group being associated with a single node. This implies that any trade Ti will always be computed on the same node.
The application generates and keeps a mapping of the trades to the market data they depend on.
The application generates and keeps a mapping of the nodes on which each trade is computed.
When a market event occurs, the following happens:
- the nodes and the application are notified
- the application determines which trades are impacted by the data update
- the application determines on which nodes these trades will be updated and asynchronously submits a JPPF job for each node
The application can function in 2 distinct modes:
- event-based mode: trade update jobs are submitted as each event occurs, simulating a "real-time" flow of trade updates.
In this mode, one should be careful that updates are performed fast enough, otherwise the jobs queue will keep growing until all resources are consumed.
- snapshot-based mode: the application simply aggregates the update events and, at regular intervals, submits trade update jobs to the JPPF grid.
This mode provides the best overall throughput, but does not allow real-time updates. This is a tradeoff to consider when the market pace is too fast to work in event-based mode.
The implementation relies on the Hazelcast distributed cache API to store the market data and to distribute the trades among the nodes:
- the market data objects are stored in a Hazelcast distributed map that is accessed by the application and all the nodes
- the trades are distributed among a number of distinct distributed maps, each of them accessed by the application and a single node only. This constitutes a partitioning of the set of trades according to the nodes
A node startup class is also used to initialize the Hazelcast data structures in each node at startup time, and provides a convenient API for the tasks to access the distributed data.
To make it easy to simulate various scenarios, the application provides a configuration property for most of the the parameters it uses:
number of market data pieces, number of trades, number of market data dependencies per trade, interval between ticker events, event vs. snapshot run mode, duration of each trade computation, etc...
As all events and resulting job submissions are fully asynchronous, the application relies on a pool of connections to the JPPF driver, rather than on a single connection.
See server discovery and
manual configuration in the JPPF documentation for details on how to do this.
How do I run it?
Before running this sample application, you need to install a JPPF server and at least one node.
For information on how to set up a node and server, please refer to the JPPF documentation.
Once you have installed a server and one or multiple nodes, perform the following steps:
- build the archive that will contain the libraries to deploy in the JPPF driver's class path: run either the Ant target "zip" which will generate the file "DataDependency.zip",
or "tar.gz" which will generate the file "DataDependency.tar.gz"
- extract the generated archive in the installation folder of the JPPF driver, this will add the files "DataDependency.jar" and "hazelcast-x.y.z.jar" in the "lib" directory. This ensures the nodes will download the startup class and Hazelcast APIs from the server's classpath.
- start the driver and the nodes
- from the sample's "config" folder, open the client configuration file "jppf.properties" in a text editor
- find the line containing "jppf.pool.size = value" and update the value as you see fit (server connection pool size)
- At the end of the file, you will find the configuration of the simulation parameters, for instance:
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Parameters specific to the data dependency application #
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Pseudo-random number generator, either "gaussian" or "uniform" (the default).
# This determines the distribution of randomly generated data
dataFactoryImpl = gaussian
# run mode, either snapshot-based or event-based. Possible values: event | snapshot
runMode = snapshot
# number of market data objects to use
nbMarketData = 2000
# number of trade objects
nbTrades = 4000
# min and max number of market data object a trade depends on (randomly chosen)
minDataPerTrade = 1
maxDataPerTrade = 6
# min and max intervals in milliseconds between ticker events
# (computed randomly in the specified range)
minTickerInterval = 50
maxTickerInterval = 200
# number of ticker events during the simulation; value <= 0 means no limit
nbTickerEvents = 0
# duration of the simulation in milliseconds (after that the ticker stops emitting events)
simulationDuration = 10000
# min and max simulated task duration in milliseconds
# (task duration is computed randomly in the specified range)
minTaskDuration = 50
maxTaskDuration = 100
# interval between 2 snapshots when running in snapshot-based mode
snapshotInterval = 3250
- once you have configured your scenario, in the sample's command prompt, type either "run.bat" (on Windows), "./run.sh" (on Linux/Unix) or "ant run" to run the simulation
- for a clearer visualization of what is happening during the simulation, it is recommended to start the JPPF administration UI in the "Jobs" view:
In "event" mode:
In "snapshot" mode:
The "Topology" view shows:
What features of JPPF are demonstrated?

Arrays and hashes are both ordered collections of objects. Any Ruby object can be stored in an array or a hash, including other arrays and hashes. The essential difference between the two is how their conets are ordered and accessed, i.e. how you view and handle the objects you store inside them.
Arrays are organized through the simple means of a numeric index, with the first object stored at index [0]. The index refers only to the relative position of the object in an array, so reordering an array will change which index corresponds to which object.
types_of_pie = ["apple", "blueberry", "cherry"]
=> ["apple", "blueberry", "cherry"]
types_of_pie[0]
=> "apple"
types_of_pie.reverse!
types_of_pie[0]
=> "cherry"
Hashes are organized on "key-value pairs." Both the key and the value can be any Ruby object. A hash value is similar to an object in an array, except instead accessing a value by its current position in the array, you assign and use a key. While the index of an object in an array changes with reordering, the key-value pairing does not.
favorite_pies = {Danny: "apple", Eliza: "blueberry", Francis: "cherry"}
=> {:Danny=>"apple", :Eliza=>"blueberry", :Francis=>"cherry"}
(Note that this array assignment shorthand automatically converts the keys into symbols. To assign strings as keys without conversion, use the => operator.)
favorite_pies[:Danny]
=> "apple"
types_of_pie.reverse!
=> NoMethodError
Wait, what? That last step didn't work... because there's no reverse
method for hashes. While hashes do remember the order in which their contents were assigned, they're not designed for easy re-ordering. You can sort hashes, but if you really care about the order of your elements, you might be better off with an array. In fact, here are a couple rules of thumb on deciding between the two:
When deciding whether to use an array or hash for a particular problem, the first question you should ask yourself is, "Do I care about the order of these objects within the collection?" If yes, go with an array (remember, you can make an array of arrays). Otherwise, ask yourself "Are the objects in my collection homogenous?" That is, are all the objects in your collection all examples of the same general thing?" (and thus, would not require special labels). If yes, stick with an array. Otherwise, go with a hash.

The objective of slidify
is to make it easy to create reproducible HTML5 presentations from .Rmd
files.
The guiding philosophy of slidify
is to completely separate writing of content from its rendering, so that content can be written once in R Markdown
, and rendered as an HTML5
presentation using any of the HTML5
slide frameworks supported.
This package is not available on CRAN
as yet. A development version can be installed from github
using the devtools
package.
library(devtools) install_github('slidify', 'ramnathv')
In addition to slidify
, you would also need to install development versions of knitr
, whisker
and markdown
.
install_github('knitr', 'yihui') install_github('whisker', 'edwindj') install_github('markdown', 'rstudio')
slidify
is designed to make it very easy for a HTML novice to generate a crisp, visually appealing HTML5
slide deck. You can do it in just three steps!
---
slidify("slides.Rmd")
to generate your slide deck.slidify
allows you to render your slides using several HTML5 slide frameworks. Currently supported frameworks are:
Extending slidify
to accommodate other frameworks is pretty straightforward. The plan is to support more frameworks over time.
The theme
option lets you style your slides. Currently, this option is available only for deck.js
which allows the following themes
Themes are just css
files. So it is easy to extend this option to the other frameworks if you can write css.
The transition
option allows you to define the transition between slides. Currently, this option is available only for deck.js
which allows the following transitions
Please consult deck.js documentation for more information on themes
and transitions
slidify
is designed to be modular and syntax highlighting is one module. Currently two options are supported
js
R
The js
option does client side highlighting using the javascript library highlight.js, while the R
option generates a static page, highlighted using the R package highlight.
You will notice that the quality of highlighting for R
code is better when done with the R
package, rather than highlight.js
.
slidify
allows you complete control over how you want to style your source code using css
. The styles currently supported depend on the highlighter
chosen.
js
see documentation for highlight.jsR
type knit_theme[['get']]()
to see available stylesIn order to use the R
option, you need to include the line opts_knit$set(out.format = 'html')
inside your .Rmd
file. This is required to fool knitr
into highlighting source code. Specifying it outside the document does not work as knitr
resets it to md
as soon as it sees the .Rmd
extension.
This option allows you to write math in your presentations. slidify
automatically adds a link to the js
files from Mathjax CDN. Here are Maxwell's Equations from the Mathjax website.
$$ \begin{aligned} \nabla \times \vec{\mathbf{B}} -\, \frac1c\, \frac{\partial\vec{\mathbf{E}}}{\partial t} & = \frac{4\pi}{c}\vec{\mathbf{j}} \\ \nabla \cdot \vec{\mathbf{E}} & = 4 \pi \rho \\ \nabla \times \vec{\mathbf{E}}\, +\, \frac1c\, \frac{\partial\vec{\mathbf{B}}}{\partial t} & = \vec{\mathbf{0}} \\ \nabla \cdot \vec{\mathbf{B}} & = 0 \end{aligned} $$
A cross-product formula, again from the Mathjax website
$$ \mathbf{V}_1 \times \mathbf{V}_2 = \begin{vmatrix} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ \frac{\partial X}{\partial u} & \frac{\partial Y}{\partial u} & 0 \\ \frac{\partial X}{\partial v} & \frac{\partial Y}{\partial v} & 0 \end{vmatrix} $$
It is easy to animate a list by adding the class specified build
. For example, consider the markdown
source below
..ul: build
* Point 1
* Point 2
* Point 3
It produces the slide
Different HTML5
slide generation frameworks style the same elements differently. Moreover, they use different classes to define incremental builds, full page images etc.
As a result, a slide deck that looks visually appealing in one framework, may not look as nice in another. It will require carefully overriding the css
definitions across frameworks so as to reach some kind of consistency.
The long-term goal of slidify
is to be able to truly stand by the "write once, style as you like" idea.
slidify
is made available under the MIT License. The slidify
logo was created using supalogo. All included css
and javascript
are licensed under the terms specified by the respective slide generation frameworks.

EU Agencies, Service Providers Take Down IS Propaganda
by ASSOCIATED PRESSTHE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — A concerted crackdown on the Islamic State’s online propaganda machine has dealt a serious blow to the extremist group’s official news agency and communications channels, European law enforcement officials said Monday.
A four-day operation took down thousands of items, including accounts and information linked to the Amaq agency, which spreads IS propaganda and news, the officials said.
“If they want to come back on the same level they were before, it will take a huge effort,” said Eric Van Der Sypt, a spokesman for the Belgian Federal Prosecutor’s Office. “We will see how they recuperate.”
The operation was coordinated by the law enforcement and judicial cooperation agencies of the European Union — Europol and Eurojust — and involved police and prosecutors from Spain and Belgium.
Experts at Europol identified more than 26,000 items of IS propaganda and referred them to nine online service providers including Google and Telegram to have them taken offline.
A man suspected of spreading IS propaganda was arrested in Spain.
Telegram’s encrypted communications app has often been used by extremists.
Europol praised Telegram, saying the company has worked hard to “root out the abusers of the platform by both bolstering its technical capacity in countering malicious content and establishing close partnerships with international organizations such as Europol.”
Underscoring the importance of the online action, Belgian prosecutor Patrick Willocx said that Islamic State propaganda “can be directly linked to the radicalization of European citizens or foreign terrorist fighters.”
The action that began Nov. 21 appeared to have an immediate effect.
JihadScope, which monitors jihadi activity across the internet, reported Nov. 22 that Islamic State-linked media outlet “Quraysh” was reporting the deletion of thousands of pro-IS accounts on Telegram and the extremist group’s media activists were telling supporters “to create multiple accounts, some for continued engagement & some to back up archives of terror content, videos etc.”
One of the group’s media arms, the Naser News Agency, which often carries the group’s statements, last posted on Nov. 21.

| Path: | lib/features/localized_model_attributes.rb |
| Last Update: | Wed Oct 03 19:40:10 +0200 2007 |
Extends ActiveRecord models to provide localized accessors for their attributes. They can simply be used by prefixing the attribute name with localized_. E.g., assuming a model Employee has the attributes birthday, salary and name and the current language is de, the localized attributes can be used like this:
pete = Employee.new(:birthday => Date(1972, 8, 2), :salary => 2200.9, :name => 'Peter') pete.localized_birthday # => "08.02.1972" pete.localized_birthday = "11.03.1980" # => "1980-03-11" pete.localized_salary # => "2.200,9" pete.localized_salary = "3000,50" # => 3000.5
This enables you to use the localized_ attributes in your form helpers, allowing transparent localized input of dates and numbers.
This feature uses the same sections from the lanuage file as do the localized_date_and_time and localized_number_helpers features. For date conversions, the attributes date format from the dates section is used.

Scrum is disruptive. And to scale it, you need to descale the organisation. That's why I won't be talking about Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) today. Instead, I'll focus on those scaling frameworks that at least try to retain agility. I've been studying and comparing some of them in more detail lately.
What puzzles me with LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum) is that even if it makes more sense than most other frameworks (because it's a descaling framework!), not many companies—that I'm aware of—use it. The same seems to be true for other frameworks that attempt to scale Scrum: Nexus and Scrum@Scale.
I'd be curious to hear if anyone has contributed to, or witnessed a cultural transformation in an organization with one of these frameworks (LeSS, Nexus, Scrum@Scale) in the Nordic countries or elsewhere? Any tips you can share? Just wanted to throw this here :)

Nokia 6.2 Lands In The US WIth A Premium Display & Cameras
The HMD-built Nokia 6.2 is now available to buy in the US, following a new announcement by the company. The device was first announced in early September alongside the Nokia 7.2 and offers a similar experience with a slight cutback in specs.
The Nokia 6.2 ships with a Snapdragon 636 SoC on-board. At the time of the announcement, global variants were announced with options for either 3GB or 4GB RAM and 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB storage. The US configuration arrives with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage available. Users can expand storage via a MicroSD card.
Among other amenities on offer with the Nokia 6.2, the company has kept the 3.5mm headphone jack for this device. USB-C is in place for charging and data transfers, while users will find NFC, FM radio, and Bluetooth 5.0 with Qualcomm aptX audio for connectivity on the inside.
Advertisement
A circular fingerprint scanner occupies the rear panel of the Android 9 Pie handset, which HMD Global has promised to update to Android 10 in a reasonable timeframe.
Nokia 6.2 puts a sharp focus on cameras and a great display
The biggest features with the new Nokia 6.2 come down to its cameras and display. At the front of the device, housed in a water drop-style notch, the new phone houses a fairly standard 8-megapixel snapper. That's accompanied by the usual sensors.
Around the back of the device, HMD and Nokia have incorporated a triple camera array that's powered by AI and includes a dedicated Night mode. That's comprised of a 16-megapixel primary shooter, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide 118-degree camera, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor.
Advertisement
Among its many features, the company highlights the Bokeh features enabled by that latter sensor and AI. Namely, that allows for an adjustable bokeh, bringing a variety of shapes to the table to help portraits stand out. Bokeh effects can, for example, be applied in a heart or star shape, in addition to the classic styles.
Beyond Bokeh, the cameras allow for Ultra HD video captures complete with spatial audio and "dual-sight." That utilizes both front and back cameras simultaneously.
The display used to deliver that experience is a 6.3-inch panel set at a Full HD+ (1080 x 2280) resolution and a 19.5:9 ratio. That's built around a 2.5D design and topped with Gorilla Glass 3 but those aren't what sets Nokia 6.2 apart. The company also partnered with Pixelworks and this phone uses that company's visual processor. For Nokia 6.2 users, that means video content upscaled to HDR in real-time.
Advertisement
Carrying on a design tradition
Around the display panel, HMD built the Nokia 6.2 from a proprietary polymer that's stronger than standard plastics and around half the weight of aluminum. The overall shape of the device is a familiar candy-bar shape, not dissimilar to other Nokia handsets.
That equates to an almost flat design that curves slightly toward the front and back panels. The corners, conversely, are rounded for a smooth in-hand feel. The screen bezels are slim but with a larger 'forehead' and 'chin', with the latter section made larger to house Nokia branding.
A power button and volume rockers line one edge while a dedicated Google Assistant button occupies the other.
Advertisement
The software is relatively traditional for a Nokia device too. That's because this is an Android 9 Pie gadget out-of-the-box with a promise of Android 10 as part of the Android One program. That program guarantees two years of firmware updates and three years of security updates. It also guarantees an almost stock Android experience.
Google Assistant Ambient Mode lets Nokia 6.2 act like a smart display
One other prominent but not entirely unique feature of this handset is Google Assistant. Not only is that accessible via the usual methods — voice, an app, and the physical button. Users can also access that via a fairly new Google-built feature called Google Assistant Assistant Ambient Mode.
With Google Assistant Ambient Mode activated, Nokia 6.2 acts as a smart display hub when it's charging. That always-on display mode gives ready access to Assistant and can act as a digital photo frame or central point for controlling a smart home environment. In its simplest form, it enables Nokia 6.2 to be used as a smart clock or for quickly accessing contextually relevant information at a glance.

Specs

demoR.Rmd
The primary goal of the demoR
package is to simplify the presentation of R code.
It is common to show source code, in addition to code output, as part of a conference talk, workshop, or lecture. Often, we want to call attention to certain aspects of the code.
For example, suppose you want to illustrate to a new learner the use of the pipe %>%
. You might want to create a slide that shows the following:
iris %>%
group_by(Species) %>%
summarize(mean(Sepal.Length))
## # A tibble: 3 x 2
## Species `mean(Sepal.Length)`
## <fct> <dbl>
## 1 setosa 5.01
## 2 versicolor 5.94
## 3 virginica 6.59
Without demoR
, your approach might be to type your code into your code chunk, copy-paste it to a string, and manually format that string using html. What a headache!
In this vignette, we will show you how to use the demoR
package to simultaneously run and format code.
The core element of the demoR
package is an object of the class demo_code
. These objects contain both the natural output of your R code and information to let knitr
know how display the source code.
The cleanest way to make a demo_code
object is through code chunk options in R Markdown. Simply set the chunk option demo
to be a string containing a label for the set of code you intend to demo.
For example:
```{r, include = FALSE, demo = "how_to_pipe"}
iris %>%
group_by(Species) %>%
summarize(mean(Sepal.Length))
```
Then, you can reference the object by label to automatically create a demo_code
object using create_demo()
. Here we pass the object to hlt_fixed()
to show our source code with the pipe operators highlighted in yellow.
```{r, echo = FALSE}
demo_chunk("how_to_pipe") %>% hlt_fixed("%>%")
```
Note that the create_demo
step should be in a separate chunk from the code you are demoing, since it is not itself part of the source code you wish to display.
With the above two code chunks in our source file, the resulting knitted output looks like this:
iris %>%
group_by(Species) %>%
summarize(mean(Sepal.Length))
## # A tibble: 3 x 2
## Species `mean(Sepal.Length)`
## <fct> <dbl>
## 1 setosa 5.01
## 2 versicolor 5.94
## 3 virginica 6.59
You can also use the demo_code()
function to create a demo_code
object directly from a string of R code. For example
produces
iris %>%
group_by(Species) %>%
summarize(mean(Sepal.Length))
## # A tibble: 3 x 2
## Species `mean(Sepal.Length)`
## <fct> <dbl>
## 1 setosa 5.01
## 2 versicolor 5.94
## 3 virginica 6.59
This option for demo_code
creation is particularly nice if you want to show “bad” code that cannot normally be evaluated in a chunk. For example:
mean(1:10
## Error: <text>:2:0: unexpected end of input
## 1: mean(1:10
## ^
hlt_*
functionsThe advantage of a demo_code
object is that you can add formatting to the source code without altering the output, through the suite of highlightint (hlt
) functions
The main function you will use is hlt_regexp()
. This takes as arguments:
A string or a demo_code
object
A regular expression
Any number of formatting parameters
If no formatting parameters are supplied, hlt_*
will default to ordinary yellow-background highlighting.
hlt_regexp
returns a demo_code
object, so it is pipe friendly!
Suppose you want to highlight the pipe (%>%
) in yellow, highlight the variable name Sepal.Length
in pink, and change the text color of Species
to blue
Your code chunk:
demo_code('
iris %>%
group_by(Species) %>%
summarize(mean(Sepal.Length))
') %>%
hlt_regexp(fixed("%>%")) %>%
hlt_regexp("Sepal.Length", background = "pink") %>%
hlt_regexp("Species", color = "CornflowerBlue")
Your knitted output:
iris %>%
group_by(Species) %>%
summarize(mean(Sepal.Length))
## # A tibble: 3 x 2
## Species `mean(Sepal.Length)`
## <fct> <dbl>
## 1 setosa 5.01
## 2 versicolor 5.94
## 3 virginica 6.59
demoR
also includes a few shortcuts for highlighting specific aspsects of R source code. Currently, these functions are:
hlt_funs()
for functions
hlt_args()
for arguments to functions
hlt_input_vals()
for values assigned to function arguments
For example:
demo_code('
ggplot(iris, aes(x = Sepal.Length, fill = Species)) +
geom_histogram(alpha = 0.5)
') %>%
hlt_args(color = "CornflowerBlue") %>%
hlt_funs(color = "Coral", underline = TRUE) %>%
hlt_input_vals(background = "Aquamarine") %>%
hlt_regexp("Sepal.Length", background = "pink")
ggplot(iris, aes(x = Sepal.Length, fill = Species)) +
geom_histogram(alpha = 0.5)
## `stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.
One nice feature of a demo_code
object, as compared to a string, it that it evaluates when run. This means that you can define objects in your demo code, and use them later in your analysis as you normally would:
foo mean(1:10)
foo + 5
## [1] 10.5
A word of caution: Make sure you define your objects in your code string, not outside the demo_code()
function! For example, the following approach has two problems:
foo
contains the demo_code
object, not the result of mean(1:10)
, so foo + 5
throws an error.
The demo_code
object is stored as foo
rather than printed, so no highlighted code is included in the knitted output.
## Error in foo + 5: non-numeric argument to binary operator
demoR
gives you complete freedom to choose the colors of your highlighted elements, so long as the color name is a recognized html name or a hex code.
However, please remember to be judicious in your color choices, and to keep in mind how your colors appear to colorblind individuals.

Note from the National Quality Measures and National Guideline Clearinghouses: The following Commentary was derived from the author's blog and revised with his permission.
Quality Measurement mavens are reeling these days, as a result of the air being let out of high-profile measures such as tight glucose control (1), door-to-antibiotic time (2), and beta-blockers (3). Some critics have even suggested that we put a moratorium on new quality measures until the science improves. I hope we don't.
I think we're seeing a natural, and fairly predictable, ebb and flow, and our reaction — even to these significant setbacks — should be thoughtful and measured. Here's why:
The publication of the Institute of Medicine's Quality Chasm report (4) (and McGlynn's findings [5] that we adhere to evidence-based practice about half the time) generated intense pressure to launch transparency and pay-for-performance initiatives. Finding virtually no outcome measures ready for prime time (the data collection burden was too large and the science of case-mix adjustment too immature), policymakers and payers logically looked to process measures (aspirin, angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitors, pneumovax) for common diseases (myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, pneumonia), delivered in settings (hospitals) that could be held accountable. And they sought levels of evidence that were, if not perfect, at least good enough.
The National Quality Forum (NQF) was created to vet this evidence. But the NQF has a problem not unlike that of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA): too low an evidence bar and bad measures become "law"; too high a bar and the ravenous hunger for quality measures goes unsated. Unsurprisingly, the demand for measures won out and the bar was set relatively low — not so much in terms of study design, but rather in terms of the degree to which initial promising studies had their findings confirmed by subsequent research.
With that as prelude, we shouldn't be shocked by what we're seeing now: a mini-pattern in which one or two tightly managed, single-site studies that showed great benefit are followed by studies done in more diverse and real-world settings whose results are disappointing. It has always been thusly. The difference is that now, by the time the later studies are published, the quality measures have long since been disseminated.
I won't belabor the point since I've covered this ground previously in my discussions of the individual measures (6-8). But the fascinating trend to watch now is the beginnings of a Quality Measurement Backlash — it's not a full-fledged, "spontaneous" tea party just yet, but the night is young. Consider, for example, the Jerry Groopman/Pamela Hartzband article (9) in the Wall Street Journal which stated:
"In too many cases, the quality measures have been hastily adopted, only to be proven wrong and even potentially dangerous to patients... Yet too often quality metrics coerce doctors into rigid and ill-advised procedures. Orwell could have written about how the word "quality" became zealously defined by regulators, and then redefined with each change in consensus guidelines..."
The solution, say the authors, is to stop the presses:
"Before a surgeon begins an operation, he must stop and call a "time-out" to verify that he has all the correct information and instruments to safely proceed. We need a national time-out in the rush to mandate what policymakers term quality care to prevent doing more harm than good."
If that wasn't enough fun for the quality measurers, the article (10) by Rachel Werner and Bob McNutt in a recent Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) surely was. After critiquing today's measures for the usual reasons, the authors suggest a "new approach":
"First, the focus of quality improvement initiatives should be on improving rather than measuring quality of care... Second, quality improvement initiatives should be tied to local actions and local results rather than national norms. This acknowledges that quality improvement efforts are not generalizable and one solution does not fit all."
"...Quality improvement incentives can be restructured based on these principles. Current incentives are based on measured performance and are benchmarked to national norms. An alternative approach is to tie incentives to the local process of improving quality of care rather than the results of quality measures. This could take the form of requiring local teams of quality improvement personnel to identify problems through investigation, identify solutions to these problems, implement solutions, and document local improvement... A logical next step is to tie current quality improvement incentives to this approach-pay based on participation in quality improvement efforts rather than simply comparing each other on measures that do not reflect the learning that is required to really improve care."
The small, elite group of nationally recognized measure vettors is feeling increasingly besieged. You may have seen the comment on this blog by one of them, Dale Bratzler of the Oklahoma Foundation for Medical Quality (creator of many national measures, including those used in the Surgical Care Improvement Program [SCIP]), written in response to my post on tight glucose control. Bratzler wrote:
"...I am tiring of some of the criticisms related to quality initiatives because the authors of those criticisms often fall victim to the same practices that they criticize. It seems to be increasingly common for opinion pieces, editorials, anecdotal reports, underpowered studies, and single-institution studies to be used to suggest that quality initiatives are resulting in widespread patient harm. Frankly, I have not seen systematic evidence of that for most national quality initiatives and in some cases, have data to suggest that for many of the conditions targeted in those initiatives, patient outcomes are slowly but progressively improving."
Bratzler goes on to state, correctly, that the glucose standard in SCIP was not the brutally tight 80-110 mg/dL, but rather a more generous (and less dangerous) <200 mg/dL. He then acknowledges that
"...some hospitals undoubtedly go beyond the requirements of the SCIP measure and that could result in harm... But on a national basis, surgical outcomes actually are improving over time and there is no national requirement to implement programs of intensive blood sugar control."
That last point is technically accurate, but other national campaigns, or influential national organizations, have promoted tighter control than that recommended in SCIP. For example, the Surviving Sepsis Campaign targets a glucose level of <150 mg/dL (11), and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's (IHI) target (12) is the Van den Berghe standard of 80-110 mg/dL (13) (although, to be fair, IHI stuck to the SCIP standards in their recently completed 5 Million Lives campaign [14]).
But before we get too distracted by all these angels dancing atop an insulin pen, let's take a step back and consider the big picture. We've seen that some widely disseminated and promoted performance measures haven't worked out as intended — usually because evidence emerged that was less impressive than the initial salvo.
And now we have Groopman and Hartzband arguing that we should take a "time out" on quality measures, leaving it to doctors to make their own choices since only they truly know their patients. Do we really believe that the world will be a better place if we went back to every doctor deciding by him or herself what treatment to offer, when we have irrefutable data demonstrating huge gaps between evidence-based and actual practice? Even when we KNOW the right thing to do (as in hand washing), we fail to do it nearly half the time! Do the authors really believe that the strategy should remain "Doctor Knows Best"; just stay out of our collective hair?
And if we agree that we need some measurement to catalyze improvement efforts, do we really want measures that can be met through elaborate dog-and-pony shows, with no demonstration of improved processes or outcomes? Sure, the Joint Commission should check to be sure that hospitals use strong QI methods, but there has to be more, much more. A close colleague, one of the world's foremost quality experts, wrote me about the Werner/McNutt article, finding it unhelpful:
"...because you still have the measurement problem — how are you going to know whether or not any of these actions are actually happening, and whether or not they are actually improving anything?"
The sentence in the JAMA piece, "This could take the form of requiring local teams of quality improvement personnel to identify problems through investigation, identify solutions to these problems, implement solutions, and document local improvement" reminded this colleague of the Total Quality Management (TQM) fad twenty years ago, when some accreditors and insurers began requiring documentation of "storyboards" of hospitals' Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles (15). He recalled visiting some hospitals preparing for inspections and,
"...I would see the storyboards on the wards and they were just laughable in terms of what they presented and their supposed relation to cause-and-effect. It was all a charade, done to get through the inspection and nothing — or very close to nothing — meaningful was really being accomplished."
So, to the Dale Bratzler's of the world, I say, Courage! Keep it up. And don't let the bums (including this one) get you (too) down. The bottom line is that we need quality measures, and we need rigorous research to create good ones. When we do create a flawed measure (an inevitability), let's admit it and fix it. If hospitals have been pushed toward tight glucose control based on now-partly discredited evidence, let's say so, improve the measure, and resolve to learn something from the experience — not just when we're thinking about glucose measurement but also when we're considering the strength of the evidence supporting other difficult-to-implement and potentially dangerous practices. Ditto for door-to-antibiotic timing.
As for me, I'll keep critiquing bad measures and pointing out when new science emerges that changes how we should think about existing measures. But I'll continue to support thoughtful implementation of transparency programs and experiments using Pay-for-Performance (P4P). From where I sit, of all our options to meet the mandates to improve quality and safety, tenaciously clinging to a Marcus Welbian (and demonstrably low quality) status quo or creating tests that can be passed by appearing to be working on improvement seem like two of the worst.

Scottish Fairy and Folk Tales, by George Douglas, [1901], at sacred-texts.com
IN the days of yore, the proprietors of Colzean, in Ayrshire, were known in that county by the title of Lairds o' Co', a name bestowed on Colzean from some co's (or coves) in the rock underneath the castle.
One morning, a very little boy, carrying a small wooden can, addressed the laird near the castle gate, begging for a little ale for his mother, who was sick: the laird directed him to go to the butler and get his can filled; so away he went as ordered. The butler had a barrel of ale on tap, but about half full, out of
which he proceeded to fill the boy's can; but, to his extreme surprise, he emptied the cask, and still the little can was not nearly full. The butler was unwilling to broach another barrel; but the little fellow insisted on the fulfilment of the laird's order, and a reference was made to him by the butler, who stated the miraculously large capacity of the tiny can, and received instant orders to fill it if all the ale in the cellar would suffice. Obedient to this command, he broached another cask, but had scarcely drawn a drop, when the can was full, and the dwarf departed with expressions of gratitude.
 The night prior to the day appointed for his execution, being confined in a dungeon strongly barricaded, the doors suddenly flew open, and the dwarf reappeared, saying--
"Laird o' Co',
Rise an' go"--
a summons too welcome to require repetition.
On emerging from prison, the boy caused him to mount on his shoulders, and in a short time set him down at his own gate, on the very spot where they had first met, saying--
"Ae guid turn deserves anither--
Tak ye that for bein' sae kind to my auld mither,"
and vanished.
113:1 Chambers, Popular Rhymes of Scotland.

Defining Project Build settings


Originally designed for my personal website, Business Casual is a super-minimalistic front-end framework with 3 design goals: structured, fast, and beautiful. Business Casual excels when you need a organized, linear website that looks absolutely stunning.
If I wouldn't use it, there's no use making it. Stay awesome.
If there are two things that you need to know about web development, it's these: 1) today's web frameworks have a ton of dependencies, and 2) web developers like to make even the simpliest ideas as confusing as possible. The result is that, while you want to make a beautiful website, you're stuck looking at something like this.
Whether you're familar with web development or not, you'll probably download vast amounts of software just so you can make your personal website or portfolio. What you really need is a framework that not only looks good, but is also straightforward, honest, and contains very few dependencies.

In general, Business Casual has 3 design goals:
I wanted a framework that had a definite sense of structure and order right out of the box. With Business Casual, all the annoying fiddling and tweeking from standard web programming is handled by the framework, so you can focus more on what matters most: your content.
Business Casual has been trim and cut to be blazingly fast. You'll only find pure Javascript and LESS code in Business Casual. Better yet, the code is still readable.
 That's why Business Casual stays pretty with tasteful fonts, colors, and design elements that helps the overall design of your website maintain a clean and professional look.
Here's what's new:
business-casual.js
for extensibilitybuild.sh
build script with GruntOf course, v1.2 is backwards compatible with all other versions of Business Casual.
The developer page was also created for those who are more well-versed in web development to peruse. In particular, the developer page describes how to properly extend Business Casual with LESS code and Javascript.
The following table depicts which browsers Business Casual has been tested on. If a browser is untested, it means that Business Casual may or may not work correctly on that particular browser:
| ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
|---|
Before using Business Casual, please read the following licensing carefully:

In general, Business Casual is divided into two parts: the static part and the dynamic part.
It's usually easier to include both the static and dynamic parts of Business Casual in your web page, but including only static parts can make your website load and work faster.
These next few sections discuss the process of including Business Casual on your web page.
When you pull the Business Casual repository from GitHub, you will be provided with the following assets: (If a particular asset is greyed out, then don't sweat it too much.)
| File | Description |
|---|---|
css/ |
A directory containing pre-built CSS that defines Business Casual. |
js/ |
A directory containing Javascript that defines Business Casual's dynamic features. |
less/ |
A directory containing LESS files that are used to build Business Casual.
This is where customize.less is located. |
license |
The MIT License for Business Casual. |
gruntfile.js |
Instructions for Grunt so that it can build Business Casual. |
package.json |
Defines what Grunt needs to build Business Casual. |
.gitignore |
Lets source control know what not to push to GitHub. |
If you just want to use Business Casual as is with its prebuilt business-casual.css
and business-casual.min.js
files,
then you can skip this part. Otherwise, read on.
To make customization of Business Casual easy, I created a LESS file known as customize.less
where you can tweak
things like colors, gutter sizes, radii distances and the like in a single file. If you are really adventurous, you can even modify business-casual.js
to make the framework's dynamic features behave a little differently. (To learn more about
business-casual.js
, see the developer page.)
Unfortunately, if you want to customize Business Casual, you will have to rebuild Business Casual.
|
Heads up! Customizing Business Casual means you will have to rebuild Business Casual with Grunt, which requires you to install a few dependencies on your machine. |
|---|
I can already hear your complaints and you're right. I will say, however, that Grunt is a super handy build
automator for Node that takes care of LESS compilation and Javascript minification for you without having to explicitly
install a LESS compiler and a Javascript minifier (like you did with build.sh
). I'll
walk you through the process of building Business Casual with Grunt:
$ brew install node
|
|---|
grunt-cli
using the Node Package Manager (npm
) by running:
$ npm install -g grunt-cli
|
|---|
$ npm install
|
|---|
$ grunt
|
|---|
grunt
, Business Casual will attempt to be rebuilt. Grunt will let you know if the build succeeded or failed with errors. In the latter case,
Grunt will show you what prevented the build from completing successfully so that you can fix these mistakes and rebuild again.
Linking business-casual.css
to your HTML document will add Business Casual's static
features:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/business-casual.css">
It's a little more complicated to use Business Casual's dynamic features.
The first step is to include business-casual.min.js
to your HTML document:

|
|---|
|
Heads up! In v1.1, the deployment script is called business-casual-min.js . In v1.2,
the deployment script is called business-casual.min.js .
|
|
Pro tip Use business-casual.js for development, but use
business-casual.min.js for deployment.
|
Once this is done, start a script
tag in the head
of your HTML document. Then, instantiate an instance of Business Casual
and call the bootstrap
function on it to get the framework to bootstrap:
window.onload = function() {
var bc = new BusinessCasual();
bc.bootstrap();
}
|
|---|
You should always start your document with the HTML doctype.
<!DOCTYPE html>

...

All of your content should fit inside a container div. This centers your content on the page and makes it interact nicely with other elements.

...

Business Casual supports all six heading levels, as well as elements known as asides for the first three levels. Asides appear in a white, italic font to the right of the header.

Hello worldOh hai

Separators can help make your page more logical. You can apply them to headers or use them separately.

Bacon

Are you a nerd that's using my framework? Then you've probably got some code to show off!
Use the code
element to use a monospace font.

...

Flexor elements allow you to divide your content into columns. The widths of the columns are assigned a factor between 1 and 12, such that the sum of the factors for the flexor is 12.
You must first make a flexor element, and then place columns inside of the flexor.

...

|
|---|
|
Watch out! The behavior of a flexor is undefined if the sum of the factors is more than 12! |
Here are some examples of flexors in action.
You can use heroes to welcome vistors to your page and to divide your page up logically.
An example of a hero unit is the one displayed at the top of this page.
They require business-casual.js
to function and can be used to welcome
visitors to your webpage.
You can place an image inside of a hero unit using an
img
tag, as well as lay text over the image. Just
be sure to use the hero-unit-text
span around the text you want to display.
Hero units center text within themselves by default.

Here is some text.

You can choose where you want the hero unit text to bias using the left
and
right
classes.
...

This text will bias left.

...
For more effect, you can use the heroic
class to make certain text stand out. This
effect is actually used in the hero unit at the top of this page.
...

I'm freakin' awesome.

I will not display as awesomely.

...
You can even mix other elements into your hero unit. In the following example, a button is used in the hero unit.

Hai

I can haz cheezburger?

Yes, you may

Sidekick units are smaller than hero units and are used to divide your page into
logical sections. There are few examples of sidekick units on this page. Again, you choose
an image for the sidekick unit to display, as well as text that you might want over the image.
Just be sure to use the sidekick-unit-text
span around the text you want to display.
And just like hero units, you can choose to which side of the sidekick unit that the text biaes.
Text will center within the sidekick unit by default.

Hello world!

Just like hero units, you can incorporate other elements into the text of your sidekick units.
Keep in mind, however, that sidekick units are not as tall as hero units and that they do not
implement the heroic
span class in Business Casual.
Adding parallax to any hero in Business Casual is easy; just add the parallax
class.

Navigation bars are probably the most intricate elements of Business Casual and I am very proud to introduce them to you. While you can design your own navigation bars, Business Casual's navigation bars include a variety of features that can help make your page more dynamic and unique.
To create a navigation bar in Business Casual, surround a ul
element
in a navigation-bar
div. You can apply the center
and right
classes to the ul
element to bias content; content is
biased left by default. You can apply links to any element in the navigation bar, or even use
an image as an element instead.

Kittens

Puppies

A logo is an element within a navigation bar that displays in a darker color and in bold text. These are good for displaying the name of your website.

Architecture Portfolio

...

If you want a navgiation bar to follow the user around the page as they scroll,
you can apply the magnetic
class to the navigation bar.

...

|
|---|
|
Pro Tip If you include business-casual.js ,
you can put multiple navigation bars on the page and
Business Casual will intelligently stack them one after another, depending
on their relative order on the page.
|
These features require business-casual.js
in order to function.
Similar to the magnetic
class is the sticky
class. Similar to
magnetic
, sticky
will cause a navigation bar to stick to the top
of a browser's viewport as the user scrolls. The main difference, however, is that a
sticky
navigation bar will only fix itself to the top of the viewport when the
user scrolls past the navigation bar; that is, the navigation bar will remain static on the page
until the user scrolls past it and then stick itself to the top of the viewport.

...

|
|---|
You may want a navigation bar to disappear after the user scrolls past a certain point on
your page. You can accomplish this behavior with the fadeOut
attribute. Specify
the ID of an element on your page where you want the navigation bar to fade out after scrolling
down past or fade in after scrolling up past. Navigation bars will automatically fix to their
original position on the page if they are sticky
.

...

...

...

|
|---|
|
Heads up! Make sure that the ID of the element you choose for the navigation bar to fade out at appears below the navigation bar itself. |
|
Pro tip The fadeOut attribute only works with sticky navigation
bars at this time. A patch will be released in the future to allow this feature to
work with magnetic navigation bars.
|
Any good website has images on it. Business Casual provides you with three options when it comes to displaying images.
You can give an image rounded corners by using the rounded
class, or a circular
edge by using the circular
class. You can add a border to an image by using the
border
class.

|

|

|

|
|---|---|---|---|
Including business-casual.js
will allow you to create interactive slideshows known as glassboxes.
First, create
a glassbox
div. Then, for each image that you want, create a glassbox-slide
that contains the picture
you want to display. Optionally, you can also include a caption in the glassbox-slide
using glassbox-caption
.
Finally, choose which glassbox-slide
you want to display first by adding the glassbox-present
class to it.
Be sure to include the glassbox-left-arrow
and glassbox-right-arrow
, or your vistors won't be able to
use your glassbox.

The Mayans killed their greatest warriors on top there!

...

|
|---|
|
|
|
Heads up! You must provide your own image assets for the glassbox-left-arrow and glassbox-right-arrow
buttons; these work pretty well.
|
Business Casual provides you with some basic table styling along with cell coloration. Use the
rounded-table
class to use the Business Casual style table. If you are planning on using
a thead
element in your table, you should also use the full
class. This
ensures that the table displays correctly.

School

Duke

...

|
||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
You are not required to use a thead
element in your table, however, in which
case you do not need to use the full
class. You can also bias data to the left
or to the right of a cell using the left
and right
classes. Text
biases to the center by default.

...

|---|---|---|---|
|
You can give cells in a table color by using one of the five provided classes: danger

, and invert
.

Use a well when you want to wrap an element in a box to seperate it from other content. The code below is wrapped in a well.

...

You can change links into buttons by using the button
class on an a
element. You can make a button appear smaller by using the small
class, or larger
by using the large
class.

public class QueryValidator
A helper class used by QueryGraph2CompOp to validate newly-created QueryS. The constructor does the checking.
Our approach to saving validation errors is to store each invalid aspect as a string in a List, then throw a ValidationError if there are any strings. In other words, we don't stop processing at the first exception. Following are the specific things checked, and where they are checked. They are referred to by name (e.g., "b.4.a") in the methods that check them. a. constraints not enforced by the DTD: 1. ... checked by QGEdge() 2. ... checked by Annotation() 3. ... checked by checkTestEle() 4. ... checked by checkTestEle() 5. ... checked by checkTestEleConst() and checkDNFEle 6. ... checked by checkTestEleCond() b. from Hannah's well-formed.txt: 1. Query must remain connected (without negated elements). This can be tested by making a copy, removing from it all negated elements (vertices, edges, and subqueries), and testing whether the copy is connected. ... checked by checkNonNegatedConnComps() 2. Every query must have at least one vertex. ... checked by checkAtLeastOneVertex() 3. Every edge must have vertices at both ends. ... checked by checkEdge() 4. The inner structure of a subquery should be a well-formed query by itself. Two corollaries: a. subquery must remain connected (without boundary edges) ... checked by checkNonNegatedConnComps() b. single edge is not a legal subquery ... checked by checkAtLeastOneVertex() 5. No edge or constraint between two annotated elements: a. at most one of any two adjacent vertices can be annotated ... checked by checkEdge() b. no constraint between two vertices (or edges) that are both annotated ... checked by checkConstEleChild() c. no numeric annotation allowed on a vertex adjacent to an annotated subquery ... checked by checkEdge() d. no edge can connect one annotated subquery to another ... checked by checkEdge() 6. An edge incident to an annotated element must itself be annotated (default [1..]). a. edge incident to an annotated vertex must be annotated ... checked by checkEdge() b. boundary edge of an annotated subquery must be annotated ... checked by checkEdge() 7. Constraint within a subquery can only reference vertices/edges within that subquery and enclosed subqueries Actually, as of 2004.1.6, constraints can only reference vertices/edges within the same subquery ... checked by checkTestEleConst() 8.

South African born Elon Musk ridiculed for his latest cybertruck invention
by ObserverElon Musk ridiculed over Cybertruck, explains why windows cracked
Elon Musk, the multi-billionaire business extraordinaire known for his uninhibited traits and savvy in technology and interest in Space travel is no stranger to being in the news. The Pretoria born businessman, who holds citizenship in three countries, South Africa, Canada and United States of America, was in the news over the weekend after he launched his latest invention, the cyber truck.
As per any other reveal, people are always in awe of the various features of the new product. Things did not go down well for Elon, who was presenting the cyber truck himself after he tried to test out the anti smash feature on the window of the beastly truck as the window cracked, which was not supposed to happen.
After The botched Presentation, Musk took to Twitter to set the record straight.
Despite the “minor” glitch as Elon tried to rub off the failed display, the internet seemed not to take kindly to the appearance of the truck with some suggesting that Elon was high when he designed /approved the truck design. Some even suggested it would cast well and win the role of Shrek the ogre.

This app uses Google Maps to geolocate two addresses given by the user and then calculates a midpoint between the two locations using the Google Maps API. It then reverse geolocates the calculated midpoint and sends the city name of the midpoint to the GeoNames API to obtain a list of cities with populations over 15,000 people within a 300km radius from that midpoint. Next, we filter the cities and store those with a population of over 100,000 people. The stored values are ordered from largest city to smallest city and the top 3 cities are populated on the Google Map and presented to the user in the trip table. These cities are then taken by the Kiwi API which calculates the total price for users to fly to each potential destination city, and displays these prices to the user. In some cases, the search will not display 3 cities because there were not enough major cities within that midpoint. The users will be prompted with a modal explaining that 3 large cities were not found and present the number of cities that were.


Watch The Moment Kwaw Kese And Shatta Wale Hug Warmly At The Just Ended 2019 MTN 4Syte Music Video Awards
by BB JonesKwaw Kese and Shatta Wale are not friends and this is something a child born today even knows.
The pair, often considered the ‘craziest artists’ in the industry have been embroiled in a long feud which is characterized by dies on social media all the time.
Furthermore, Kwaw Kese was pelted with bottles whiles he was performing his hit song Dondo on stage at the Reign Concert which was held on October 20 at the Fantasy Dome In Accra.
This happened because of the animosity between himself and Shatta Wale so it was even surprising that he came to the concert to support Wale in the first place.
It seems both artists have put the issue behind them as they exchanged warm pleasantries at the just ended 4Syte Music Video Awards held at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.
Kwaw Kese walked over to where Wale was sitting and gave him a big hug and it was so heartwarming.
