Using Entity Classes
CodeIgniter supports Entity classes as a first-class citizen in it’s database layer, while keeping them completely optional to use. They are commonly used as part of the Repository pattern, but can be used directly with the Model if that fits your needs better.
Entity Usage
At its core, an Entity class is simply a class that represents a single database row. It has class properties to represent the database columns, and provides any additional methods to implement the business logic for that row. The core feature, though, is that it doesn’t know anything about how to persist itself. That’s the responsibility of the model or the repository class. That way, if anything changes on how you need to save the object, you don’t have to change how that object is used throughout the application. This makes it possible to use JSON or XML files to store the objects during a rapid prototyping stage, and then easily switch to a database when you’ve proven the concept works.
Let’s walk through a very simple User Entity and how we’d work with it to help make things clear.
Assume you have a database table named users
that has the following schema:
id - integer
username - string
email - string
password - string
created_at - datetime
Important
attributes
is a reserved word for internal use. If you use it as a column name, the Entity does not work correctly.
Create the Entity Class
Now create a new Entity class. Since there’s no default location to store these classes, and it doesn’t fit in with the existing directory structure, create a new directory at app/Entities. Create the Entity itself at app/Entities/User.php.
<?php
namespace App\Entities;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity;
class User extends Entity
{
// ...
}
At its simplest, this is all you need to do, though we’ll make it more useful in a minute.
Create the Model
Create the model first at app/Models/UserModel.php so that we can interact with it:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use CodeIgniter\Model;
class UserModel extends Model
{
protected $table = 'users';
protected $allowedFields = [
'username', 'email', 'password',
];
protected $returnType = \App\Entities\User::class;
protected $useTimestamps = true;
}
The model uses the users
table in the database for all of its activities. We’ve set the $allowedFields
property
to include all of the fields that we want outside classes to change. The id
, created_at
, and updated_at
fields
are handled automatically by the class or the database, so we don’t want to change those. Finally, we’ve set our Entity
class as the $returnType
. This ensures that all methods on the model that return rows from the database will return
instances of our User Entity class instead of an object or array like normal.
Working with the Entity Class
Now that all of the pieces are in place, you would work with the Entity class as you would any other class:
<?php
$user = $userModel->find($id);
// Display
echo $user->username;
echo $user->email;
// Updating
unset($user->username);
if (! isset($user->username)) {
$user->username = 'something new';
}
$userModel->save($user);
// Create
$user = new \App\Entities\User();
$user->username = 'foo';
$user->email =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>$userModel->save($user);
You may have noticed that the User
class has not set any properties for the columns, but you can still
access them as if they were public properties. The base class, CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity
, takes care of this for you, as
well as providing the ability to check the properties with isset()
, or unset()
the property, and keep track
of what columns have changed since the object was created or pulled from the database.
Note
The Entity class stores the data in the property $attributes
.
When the User is passed to the model’s save()
method, it automatically takes care of reading the properties
and saving any changes to columns listed in the model’s $allowedFields
property. It also knows whether to create
a new row, or update an existing one.
Note
When we are making a call to the insert()
all the values from Entity are passed to the method, but when we
call the update()
, then only values that have changed are passed.
Filling Properties Quickly
The Entity class also provides a method, fill()
that allows you to shove an array of key/value pairs into the class
and populate the class properties. Any property in the array will be set on the Entity. However, when saving through
the model, only the fields in $allowedFields
will actually be saved to the database, so you can store additional data
on your entities without worrying much about stray fields getting saved incorrectly.
<?php
$data = $this->request->getPost();
$user = new \App\Entities\User();
$user->fill($data);
$userModel->save($user);
You can also pass the data in the constructor and the data will be passed through the fill()
method during instantiation.
<?php
$data = $this->request->getPost();
$user = new \App\Entities\User($data);
$userModel->save($user);
Bulk Accessing Properties
The Entity class has two methods to extract all available properties into an array: toArray()
and toRawArray()
.
Using the raw version will bypass magic “getter” methods and casts. Both methods can take a boolean first parameter
to specify whether returned values should be filtered by those that have changed, and a boolean final parameter to
make the method recursive, in case of nested Entities.
Handling Business Logic
While the examples above are convenient, they don’t help enforce any business logic. The base Entity class implements
some smart __get()
and __set()
methods that will check for special methods and use those instead of using
the attributes directly, allowing you to enforce any business logic or data conversion that you need.
Here’s an updated User entity to provide some examples of how this could be used:
<?php
namespace App\Entities;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity;
use CodeIgniter\I18n\Time;
class User extends Entity
{
public function setPassword(string $pass)
{
$this->attributes['password'] = password_hash($pass, PASSWORD_BCRYPT);
return $this;
}
public function setCreatedAt(string $dateString)
{
$this->attributes['created_at'] = new Time($dateString, 'UTC');
return $this;
}
public function getCreatedAt(string $format = 'Y-m-d H:i:s')
{
// Convert to CodeIgniter\I18n\Time object
$this->attributes['created_at'] = $this->mutateDate($this->attributes['created_at']);
$timezone = $this->timezone ?? app_timezone();
$this->attributes['created_at']->setTimezone($timezone);
return $this->attributes['created_at']->format($format);
}
}
The first thing to notice is the name of the methods we’ve added. For each one, the class expects the snake_case
column name to be converted into PascalCase, and prefixed with either set
or get
. These methods will then
be automatically called whenever you set or retrieve the class property using the direct syntax (i.e., $user->email
).
The methods do not need to be public unless you want them accessed from other classes. For example, the created_at
class property will be accessed through the setCreatedAt()
and getCreatedAt()
methods.
Note
This only works when trying to access the properties from outside of the class. Any methods internal to the
class must call the setX()
and getX()
methods directly.
In the setPassword()
method we ensure that the password is always hashed.
In setCreatedAt()
we convert the string we receive from the model into a DateTime object, ensuring that our timezone
is UTC so we can easily convert the viewer’s current timezone. In getCreatedAt()
, it converts the time to
a formatted string in the application’s current timezone.
While fairly simple, these examples show that using Entity classes can provide a very flexible way to enforce business logic and create objects that are pleasant to use.
<?php
// Auto-hash the password - both do the same thing
$user->password = 'my great password';
$user->setPassword('my great password');
Special Getter/Setter
New in version 4.4.0.
For example, if your Entity’s parent class already has a getParent()
method
defined, and your Entity also has a column named parent
, when you try to add
business logic to the getParent()
method in your Entity class, the method is
already defined.
In such a case, you can use the special getter/setter. Instead of getX()
/setX()
,
set _getX()
/_setX()
.
In the above example, if your Entity has the _getParent()
method, the method
will be used when you get $entity->parent
, and the _setParent()
method
will be used when you set $entity->parent
.
Data Mapping
At many points in your career, you will run into situations where the use of an application has changed and the original column names in the database no longer make sense. Or you find that your coding style prefers camelCase class properties, but your database schema required snake_case names. These situations can be easily handled with the Entity class’ data mapping features.
As an example, imagine you have the simplified User Entity that is used throughout your application:
<?php
namespace App\Entities;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity;
class User extends Entity
{
protected $attributes = [
'id' => null,
'name' => null, // Represents a username
'email' => null,
'password' => null,
'created_at' => null,
'updated_at' => null,
];
}
Your boss comes to you and says that no one uses usernames anymore, so you’re switching to just use emails for login.
But they do want to personalize the application a bit, so they want you to change the name
field to represent a user’s
full name now, not their username like it does currently. To keep things tidy and ensure things continue making sense
in the database you whip up a migration to rename the name
field to full_name
for clarity.
Ignoring how contrived this example is, we now have two choices on how to fix the User class. We could modify the class
property from $name
to $full_name
, but that would require changes throughout the application. Instead, we can
simply map the full_name
column in the database to the $name
property, and be done with the Entity changes:
<?php
namespace App\Entities;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity;
class User extends Entity
{
protected $attributes = [
'id' => null,
'full_name' => null, // In the $attributes, the key is the db column name
'email' => null,
'password' => null,
'created_at' => null,
'updated_at' => null,
];
protected $datamap = [
// property_name => db_column_name
'name' => 'full_name',
];
}
By adding our new database name to the $datamap
array, we can tell the class what class property the database column
should be accessible through. The key of the array is class property to map it to, where the value in the array is the
name of the column in the database.
In this example, when the model sets the full_name
field on the User class, it actually assigns that value to the
class’ $name
property, so it can be set and retrieved through $user->name
. The value will still be accessible
through the original $user->full_name
, also, as this is needed for the model to get the data back out and save it
to the database. However, unset()
and isset()
only work on the mapped property, $user->name
, not on the database column name,
$user->full_name
.
Note
When you use Data Mapping, you must define set*()
and get*()
method
for the database column name. In this example, you must define setFullName()
and
getFullName()
.
Mutators
Date Mutators
By default, the Entity class will convert fields named created_at, updated_at, or deleted_at into Time instances whenever they are set or retrieved. The Time class provides a large number of helpful methods in an immutable, localized way.
You can define which properties are automatically converted by adding the name to the $dates
property:
<?php
namespace App\Entities;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity;
class User extends Entity
{
protected $dates = ['created_at', 'updated_at', 'deleted_at'];
}
Now, when any of those properties are set, they will be converted to a Time instance, using the application’s current timezone, as set in app/Config/App.php:
<?php
$user = new \App\Entities\User();
// Converted to Time instance
$user->created_at = 'April 15, 2017 10:30:00';
// Can now use any Time methods:
echo $user->created_at->humanize();
echo $user->created_at->setTimezone('Europe/London')->toDateString();
Property Casting
You can specify that properties in your Entity should be converted to common data types with the $casts
property.
This option should be an array where the key is the name of the class property, and the value is the data type it
should be cast to.
Property casting affects both read (get) and write (set), but some types affect only read (get).
Scalar Type Casting
Properties can be cast to any of the following data types: integer, float, double, string, boolean, object, array, datetime, timestamp, uri and int-bool. Add a question mark at the beginning of type to mark property as nullable, i.e., ?string, ?integer.
Note
int-bool can be used since v4.3.0.
For example, if you had a User entity with an is_banned
property, you can cast it as a boolean:
<?php
namespace App\Entities;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity;
class User extends Entity
{
protected $casts = [
'is_banned' => 'boolean',
'is_banned_nullable' => '?boolean',
];
}
Array/Json Casting
Array/Json casting is especially useful with fields that store serialized arrays or json in them. When cast as:
an array, they will automatically be unserialized,
a json, they will automatically be set as an value of
json_decode($value, false)
,a json-array, they will automatically be set as an value of
json_decode($value, true)
,
when you set the property’s value. Unlike the rest of the data types that you can cast properties into, the:
array cast type will serialize,
json and json-array cast will use json_encode function on
the value whenever the property is set:
<?php
namespace App\Entities;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity;
class User extends Entity
{
protected $casts = [
'options' => 'array',
'options_object' => 'json',
'options_array' => 'json-array',
];
}
<?php
$user = $userModel->find(15);
$options = $user->options;
$options['foo'] = 'bar';
$user->options = $options;
$userModel->save($user);
CSV Casting
If you know you have a flat array of simple values, encoding them as a serialized or JSON string may be more complex than the original structure. Casting as Comma-Separated Values (CSV) is a simpler alternative will result in a string that uses less space and is more easily read by humans:
<?php
namespace App\Entities;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity;
class Widget extends Entity
{
protected $casts = [
'colors' => 'csv',
];
}
Stored in the database as “red,yellow,green”:
<?php
$widget->colors = ['red', 'yellow', 'green'];
Note
Casting as CSV uses PHP’s internal implode
and explode
methods and assumes all values are string-safe and free of commas. For more complex data casts try array
or json
.
Custom Casting
You can define your own conversion types for getting and setting data.
At first you need to create a handler class for your type. Let’s say the class will be located in the app/Entities/Cast directory:
<?php
namespace App\Entities\Cast;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Cast\BaseCast;
// The class must inherit the CodeIgniter\Entity\Cast\BaseCast class
class CastBase64 extends BaseCast
{
public static function get($value, array $params = [])
{
return base64_decode($value, true);
}
public static function set($value, array $params = [])
{
return base64_encode($value);
}
}
Now you need to register it:
<?php
namespace App\Entities;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity;
class MyEntity extends Entity
{
// Specifying the type for the field
protected $casts = [
'key' => 'base64',
];
// Bind the type to the handler
protected $castHandlers = [
'base64' => \App\Entities\Cast\CastBase64::class,
];
}
// ...
$entity->key = 'test'; // dGVzdA==
echo $entity->key; // test
If you don’t need to change values when getting or setting a value. Then just don’t implement the appropriate method:
<?php
namespace App\Entities\Cast;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Cast\BaseCast;
class CastBase64 extends BaseCast
{
public static function get($value, array $params = [])
{
return base64_decode($value, true);
}
}
Parameters
In some cases, one type is not enough. In this situation, you can use additional parameters.
Additional parameters are indicated in square brackets and listed with a comma
like type[param1, param2]
.
<?php
namespace App\Entities;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Entity;
class MyEntity extends Entity
{
// Defining a type with parameters
protected $casts = [
'some_attribute' => 'class[App\SomeClass, param2, param3]',
];
// Bind the type to the handler
protected $castHandlers = [
'class' => 'SomeHandler',
];
}
<?php
namespace App\Entities\Cast;
use CodeIgniter\Entity\Cast\BaseCast;
class SomeHandler extends BaseCast
{
public static function get($value, array $params = [])
{
var_dump($params);
/*
* Output:
* array(3) {
* [0]=>
* string(13) "App\SomeClass"
* [1]=>
* string(6) "param2"
* [2]=>
* string(6) "param3"
* }
*/
}
}
Note
If the casting type is marked as nullable ?bool
and the passed value is not null, then the parameter with
the value nullable
will be passed to the casting type handler.
If casting type has predefined parameters, then nullable
will be added to the end of the list.
Checking for Changed Attributes
You can check if an Entity attribute has changed since it was created. The only parameter is the name of the attribute to check:
<?php
$user = new \App\Entities\User();
$user->hasChanged('name'); // false
$user->name = 'Fred';
$user->hasChanged('name'); // true
Or to check the whole entity for changed values omit the parameter:
<?php
$user->hasChanged(); // true


Coty bets US$600 million on Kylie Jenner beauty brands
Coty Inc said on Monday it would pay US$600 million for a majority stake in Kylie Jenner's make-up and skincare businesses, as it looks to tap into the reality TV star's huge social media reach, driving shares in the company up 5per cent.
REUTERS: Coty said on Monday (Nov 18) it would pay US$600 million for a majority stake in Kylie Jenner's make-up and skincare businesses, as it looks to tap into the reality TV star's huge social media reach, driving shares in the company up 5per cent.
The move comes as the cosmetics maker doubles down on its skin care and fragrance products, rolling out new luxury fragrances and lipsticks, while spending more on marketing to combat falling sales.
Jenner, the youngest sibling of the wildly successful Kardashian family, a household name a decade after their reality TV show "Keeping up with the Kardashians" became a smash hit, started her make up line with lipstick kits in 2015.
The kits sold out within minutes of launching, an early sign of the power of her now 270 million-plus social media following, and Coty said Kylie Cosmetics had an estimated US$177 million in net revenues over the past 12 months.
"Kylie is a modern-day icon, with an incredible sense of the beauty consumer, and we believe in the high potential of building a global beauty brand together," said Peter Harf, chairman of Coty's board.
Jenner brought in sales of an estimated US$360 million in 2018, according to Forbes, putting her on its list of self-made billionaires.
Kylie Cosmetics also last year signed a deal with Ulta Beauty Inc to put her products in all of the retailer's 1,163 US stores.
The partnership will be accretive to Coty's net revenue growth of its core fragrance, cosmetics and skin care business by more than 1 per cent per year over the next three years, the company said.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, Coty said.


Maryland woman wins two big Keno jackpots in one day
by Ben HooperNov. 20 (UPI) -- A Maryland woman is celebrating a particularly lucky day after she scored two major Keno jackpots.
The 23-year-old Mechanicsville woman told Maryland Lottery officials her first brush with luck came during breakfast.
"My business partner accidentally got a 10-spot Keno ticket," the woman said. "He almost threw it away and I encouraged him to play it. I told him, 'There are no accidents! We play what we get!'"
The woman and her business partner decided to share the ticket, and they won $12,000.
She said the win left her still feeling lucky, so she decided to play Keno again after having dinner with her husband at St. Mary's Landing in Charlotte Hall. She then won $16,000.
The woman said some of the money will go toward buying Ariana Grande tickets for a friend's daughters, and she is looking into buying a septic tank truck for a business venture.

Rosamond, a little girl of about seven years old, was walking with her mother in the streets of London. As she passed along, she looked in at the windows of several shops, and she saw a great variety of different sorts of things, of which she did not know the use, or even the names. She wished to stop to look at them; but there was a great number of people in the streets, and a great many carts and carriages and wheelbarrows, and she was afraid to let go her mother’s hand.
“Oh! mother, how happy I should be,” said she, as she passed a toy-shop, “if I had all these pretty things!”
“What, all! Do you wish for them all, Rosamond?”
“Yes, mamma, all.”
As she spoke, they came to a milliner’s shop; the windows were hung with ribbons, and lace, and festoons of artificial flowers.
“Oh! mamma, what beautiful roses! Won’t you buy some of them?”
“No, my dear.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t want them, my dear.”
They went a little farther, and they came to another shop, which caught Rosamond’s eye. It was a jeweler’s shop; and there were a great many pretty baubles, ranged in drawers behind glass.
“Mamma, you’ll buy some of these?”
“Which of them, Rosamond?”
“Which? I don’t know which; but any of them, for they are all pretty.”
“Yes, they are all pretty; but of what use would they be to me?”
“Use! Oh, I’m sure you could find some use or other, if you would only buy them first.”
“But I would rather find out the use first.”
Rosamond was very sorry that her mother wanted nothing. Presently, however, they came to a shop, which appeared to her far more beautiful than the rest. It was a chemist’s shop; but she did not know that.
“Oh, mother! oh!” cried she, pulling her mother’s hand. “Look! Look! Blue, green, red, yellow, and purple! Oh, mamma, what beautiful things! Won’t you buy some of these?”
Still her mother answered as before, “What use would they be to me, Rosamond?”
“You might put flowers in them, mamma, and they would look so pretty on the chimney-piece. I wish I had one of them.”
“You have a flower-vase,” said her mother; “and that is not for flowers.”
“But I could use it for a flower-vase, mamma, you know.”
“Perhaps if you were to see it nearer, if you were to examine it, you might be disappointed.”
“No, indeed; I’m sure I should not. I should like it exceedingly.”
Rosamond kept her head turned to look at the purple vase till she could see it no longer.
“Then, mother,” said she, after a pause, “perhaps you have no money.”
“Yes, I have.”
“Dear me! if I had money, I would buy roses, and boxes, and purple flower-pots, and everything.” Rosamond was obliged to pause in the midst of her speech.
“Oh, mamma, would you stop a minute for me? I have got a stone in my shoe; it hurts me very much.”
“How comes there to be a stone in your shoe?”
“Because of this great hole, mamma—it comes in there: my shoes are quite worn out; I wish you’d be so very good as to give me another pair.”
“Nay, Rosamond, but I have not money enough to buy shoes, and flower-pots, and boxes, and everything.”
Rosamond thought that was a great pity. But now her foot, which had been hurt by the stone, began to give her so much pain that she was obliged to hop every other step, and she could think of nothing else. They came to a shoemaker’s shop soon afterwards.
“There! there! mamma, there are shoes—there are little shoes that would just fit me; and you know shoes would be really of use to me.”
“Yes, so they would, Rosamond. Come in.”
She followed her mother into the shop.
Mr. Sole, the shoemaker, had a great many customers, and his shop was full, so they were obliged to wait.
 Oh!” said Rosamond, looking round, “there is a pair of little shoes; they’ll just fit me, I’m sure.”
“Perhaps they might, but you cannot be sure till you have tried them on, any more than you can be quite sure that you should like the purple vase exceedingly , till you have examined it more attentively.”
“Why, I don’t know about the shoes, certainly, till I’ve tried; but, mamma, I’m quite sure I should like the flower-pot.”
“Well, which would you rather have, that jar, or a pair of shoes? I will buy either for you.”
“Dear mamma, thank you—but if you could buy both?”
“No, not both.”
“Then the jar, if you please.”
“But I should tell you that I shall not give you another pair of shoes this month.”
“This month! That’s a very long time indeed. You can’t think how these hurt me. I believe I’d better have the new shoes—but yet, that purple flower-pot—Oh, indeed, mamma, these shoes are not so very, very bad; I think I might wear them a little longer; and the month will soon be over: I can make them last to the end of the month, can’t I?
Mr. Sole was by this time at leisure; and whilst her mother was speaking to him, Rosamond stood in profound meditation, with one shoe on, and the other in her hand.
“Well, my dear, have you decided?”
“Mamma!—Yes—I believe. If you please—I should like the flower-pot; that is, if you won’t think me very silly, mamma.”
“Why, as to that, I can’t promise you, Rosamond; but when you are to judge for yourself, you should choose what will make you the happiest; and then it would not signify who thought you silly.”
“Then, mamma, if that’s all, I’m sure the flower-pot would make me the happiest,” said she, putting on her old shoe again; “so I choose the flower-pot.”
“Very well, you shall have it: clasp your shoe and come home.”
Rosamond clasped her shoe, and ran after her mother: it was not long before the shoe came down at the heel, and many times was she obliged to stop, to take the stones out of her shoe, and often was she obliged to hop with pain; but still the thoughts of the purple flower-pot prevailed, and she persisted in her choice.
 He had other commissions, so he did not return with them. Rosamond, as soon as she got in, ran to gather all her own flowers, which she had in a corner of her mother’s garden.
“I’m afraid they’ll be dead before the flower-pot comes, Rosamond,” said her mother to her, when she was coming in with the flowers in her lap.
“No, indeed, mamma, it will come home very soon, I dare say; and shan’t I be very happy putting them into the purple flower-pot?”
“I hope so, my dear.”
The servant was much longer returning home than Rosamond had expected; but at length he came, and brought with him the long-wished-for jar. The moment it was set down upon the table, Rosamond ran up with an exclamation of joy.
“I may have it now, mamma?”
“Yes, my dear, it is yours.”
Rosamond poured the flowers from her lap upon the carpet, and seized the purple flower-pot. “Oh, dear mother!” cried she, as soon as she had taken off the top, “but there’s something dark in it —it smells very disagreeable: what is in it? I didn’t want this black stuff.”
“Nor I neither, my dear.”
“But what shall I do with it, mamma?”
“That I cannot tell.”
“But it will be of no use to me, mamma.”
“That I can’t help.”
“But I must pour it out, and fill the flower-pot with water.”
“That’s as you please, my dear.”
“Will you lend me a bowl to pour it into, mamma?”
“That was more than I promised you, my dear; but I will lend you a bowl.”
The bowl was produced, and Rosamond proceeded to empty the purple vase. But what was her surprise and disappointment, when it was entirely empty, to find that it was no longer a purple vase! It was a plain white glass jar, which had appeared to have that beautiful color merely from the liquor with which it had been filled.
Little Rosamond burst into tears.
“Why should you cry, my dear?” said her mother; “it will be of as much use to you now as ever for a flower-vase.”
“But it won’t look so pretty on the chimney-piece. I am sure, if I had known that it was not really purple, I should not have wished to have it so much.”
“But didn’t I tell you that you had not examined it, and that perhaps you would be disappointed?”
“And so I am disappointed indeed. I wish I had believed you beforehand. Now I had much rather have the shoes, for I shall not be able to walk all this month: even walking home that little way hurt me exceedingly. Mamma, I’ll give you the flower-pot back again, and that purple stuff and all, if you’ll only give me the shoes.”
“No, Rosamond, you must abide by your own choice; and now the best thing you can possibly do is to bear your disappointment with good-humor.”
“I will bear it as well as I can,” said Rosamond, wiping her eyes, and she began slowly and sorrowfully to fill the vase with flowers.
But Rosamond’s disappointment did not end here: many were the difficulties and distresses into which her imprudent choice brought her before the end of the month. Every day her shoes grew worse and worse, till at last she could neither run, dance, jump, nor walk in them. Whenever Rosamond was called to see anything, she was pulling up her shoes at the heels, and was sure to be too late. Whenever her mother was going out to walk, she could not take Rosamond with her, for Rosamond had no soles to her shoes; and at length, on the very last day of the month, it happened that her father proposed to take her and her brother to a glass-house which she had long wished to see. She was very happy; but, when she was quite ready, had her hat and gloves on, and was making haste downstairs to her brother and father, who were waiting at the hall door for her, the shoe dropped off; she put it on again in a great hurry; but, as she was going across the hall, her father turned round.
“Why are you walking slipshod? no one must walk slipshod with me. Why, Rosamond,” said he, looking at her shoes with disgust, “I thought that you were always neat. Go, I cannot take you with me.”
Rosamond colored and retired. “Oh, mamma,” said she, as she took off her hat, “how I wish that I had chosen the shoes! they would have been of so much more use to me than that jar: however, I am sure—no, not quite sure—but I hope I shall be wiser another time.”

Dragging a ship through the sea is hard work. And after two or three hours the swallows began to get tired in the wings and short of breath. Then they sent a message down to the Doctor to say that they would have to take a rest soon; and that they would pull the boat over to an island not far off, and hide it in a deep bay till they had got breath enough to go on.
And presently the Doctor saw the island they had spoken of. It had a very beautiful, high, green mountain in the middle of it.
When the ship had sailed safely into the bay where it could not be seen from the open sea, the Doctor said he would get off on to the island to look for water—because there was none left to drink on his ship. And he told all the animals to get out too and romp on the grass to stretch their legs.
Now as they were getting off, the Doctor noticed that a whole lot of rats were coming up from downstairs and leaving the ship as well. Jip started to run after them, because chasing rats had always been his favorite game. But the Doctor told him to stop.
And one big black rat, who seemed to want to say something to the Doctor, now crept forward timidly along the rail, watching the dog out of the corner of his eye. And after he had coughed nervously two or three times, and cleaned his whiskers and wiped his mouth, he said,
"Ahem—er—you know of course that all ships have rats in them, Doctor, do you not?"
And the Doctor said, "Yes."
"And you have heard that rats always leave a sinking ship?"
"Yes," said the Doctor—"so I've been told."
"People," said the rat, "always speak of it with a sneer—as though it were something disgraceful. But you can't blame us, can you? After all, who WOULD stay on a sinking ship, if he could get off it?"
"It's very natural," said the Doctor—"very natural. I quite understand.... Was there— Was there anything else you wished to say?"
"Yes," said the rat.  But we wanted to warn you before we go. This is a bad ship you have here. It isn't safe. The sides aren't strong enough. Its boards are rotten. Before to–morrow night it will sink to the bottom of the sea."
"But how do you know?" asked the Doctor.
"We always know," answered the rat. "The tips of our tails get that tingly feeling—like when your foot's asleep. This morning, at six o'clock, while I was getting breakfast, my tail suddenly began to tingle. At first I thought it was my rheumatism coming back. So I went and asked my aunt how she felt—you remember her?—the long, piebald rat, rather skinny, who came to see you in Puddleby last Spring with jaundice? Well—and she said HER tail was tingling like everything! Then we knew, for sure, that this boat was going to sink in less than two days; and we all made up our minds to leave it as soon as we got near enough to any land. It's a bad ship, Doctor. Don't sail in it any more, or you'll be surely drowned.... Good–by! We are now going to look for a good place to live on this island."
"Good–by!" said the Doctor. "And thank you very much for coming to tell me. Very considerate of you—very! Give my regards to your aunt. I remember her perfectly.... Leave that rat alone, Jip! Come here! Lie down!"
So then the Doctor and all his animals went off, carrying pails and saucepans, to look for water on the island, while the swallows took their rest.
"I wonder what is the name of this island," said the Doctor, as he was climbing up the mountainside. "It seems a pleasant place. What a lot of birds there are!"
"Why, these are the Canary Islands," said Dab–Dab. "Don't you hear the canaries singing?"
The Doctor stopped and listened.
"Why, to be sure—of course!" he said.  I wonder if they can tell us where to find water."
And presently the canaries, who had heard all about Doctor Dolittle from birds of passage, came and led him to a beautiful spring of cool, clear water where the canaries used to take their bath; and they showed him lovely meadows where the bird–seed grew and all the other sights of their island.
And the pushmi–pullyu was glad they had come; because he liked the green grass so much better than the dried apples he had been eating on the ship. And Gub–Gub squeaked for joy when he found a whole valley full of wild sugarcane.
A little later, when they had all had plenty to eat and drink, and were lying on their backs while the canaries sang for them, two of the swallows came hurrying up, very flustered and excited.
"Doctor!" they cried, "the pirates have come into the bay; and they've all got on to your ship. They are downstairs looking for things to steal. They have left their own ship with nobody on it. If you hurry and come down to the shore, you can get on to their ship—which is very fast—and escape. But you'll have to hurry."
"That's a good idea," said the Doctor—"splendid!"
And he called his animals together at once, said Good–by to the canaries and ran down to the beach.
When they reached the shore they saw the pirate–ship, with the three red sails, standing in the water; and—just as the swallows had said—there was nobody on it; all the pirates were downstairs in the Doctor's ship, looking for things to steal.
So John Dolittle told his animals to walk very softly and they all crept on to the pirate–ship.

Team Foundation Server 2010 for Successful Project Management by Adam Cogan
Visual Studio Ultimate (formerly Visual Studio Team System (VSTS)) and Team Foundation Server (TFS) are the cornerstones of development on the Microsoft .NET platform. These are the best tools for a project manager to have successful projects and for the developers to have a focused and smooth software development process.
Come and see Adam Cogan, Microsoft Regional Director, VSTS Champ and Chief Architect from SSW show you:
Walk away knowing how to see the project health and progress. Visual Studio Ultimate is designed to help address many of these traditional problems faced by project managers. It does so by providing a set of integrated tools to help teams improve their software development activities and to help project managers better support the software development processes.
During this session we will cover the lifecycle of creating work items and tracking of releases using Visual Studio Ultimate and Team Foundation Server.
Visual Studio 2010 Team System - An OverviewMicrosoft Visual Studio 2010 Team System is an integrated software development platform to build the mission-critical applications that businesses depend on. It extends Visual Studio's integrated and productive experience from the developer to the entire development team by delivering powerful new role-based tools for software architects, developers, testers and project managers. In this session you will see an overview of these tools and how they can improve your software development cycle.
Visual Studio 2010 Testing with Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2010 - the life of a bugVisual Studio 2010 makes up a large part of a .Net developers life. This session will delve into the 'life of a bug' by taking a walk in the shoes of an everyday bug from discovery to release (and the steps that make up the in between). Come along and check out the new features that will make you happier by making your code better, your job easier, and your team more productive by reducing the obstacles you face in your everyday coding life. Learn:
In this session Adam Cogan will provide information about what is new in SharePoint 2010 and his personal favorites. The SharePoint Team has invested in many including:
Lets see what's good and what's not.
Something About Mary (SharePoint 2010 and Office 2010)Come see Adam Cogan explain what works well with SharePoint and Office for Mary and the other knowledge workers.
First you will get an overview of what is great about having SharePoint in your business. Then see real world examples of:
This is a good chance for you to consider new ways of using Office in your company, along with pitfalls to avoid. Adam gets excited about this session because too often companies limit Office to just an email application, word processor and spreadsheet - completely missing the positive impact it can have on the entire business process.

This amazing, multicultral city is the capital of the United Abra Emirates and notable for its super-high skyscrapers.
Position 24°29.2'N,54°18.6'E
This is a big commercial port, but there are many marinas here mainly catering for power boats, of which there are a large number here.
The area of Al Bateen, to the west of the city centre, has several harbours and marinas and is close to the open sea.
The Abu Dhabi fishing harbour is a colourful, if crowded destination. It lies just south of the commercial docks, to the east of the city.
If wishing to find a quieter location, it is possible to enter the the Abu Dhabi inter-coastal waterway at Mina Zayad, passing under the new Saadiyat bridge.
If you are a motor racing fan, then wending your way for about 8nm to the new Yas Southern marina would be an ideal destination as it is adjacent to the new racing circuit. It is important to follow the marked channel as there are shallow patches. See www.yasisland.ae island-maps-and-directions/ for detailed directions. This marina is now managed by Camper & Nicholsons and has recently added additional berths.
Several more marinas are planned for the Yas cays area of the waterways.

The Best Early Black Friday Laptop Deals for the UK
Find and compare all the best early Black Friday deals for laptops across retailers such as Amazon, Currys PC World, John Lewis, and more.
by Robert AndersonWe review products independently, but we may earn affiliate commissions from buying links on this page. Terms of use.
Black Friday is almost upon us, but you can already find a decent amount of deals on top products such as 4K TVs, game consoles, and mobile phones.
Another great item to keep a keen eye on in the build-up to Black Friday is laptops, and there has never a better time to invest in a new system than the Black Friday sales.
The likes of Currys PC World, John Lewis, and Amazon already have a variety of discounts up for grabs online, and we'd expect a few more to pop up as we get even closer to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
SEE ALSO: Black Friday UK: The Best Deals on Laptops, TVs, Gaming, and Tech
Early purchases have always been actively encouraged by retailers, but Currys PC World have gone a step further this year. If you buy before Nov. 21, the retailer will refund you the difference if the item you've bought becomes cheaper once the Black Friday sales officially launch on site.
This is a bold move, but might give you a little more confidence when making a purchase prior to when the majority of other Black Friday deals appear.

The eq
method implements an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation equivalence relation] on
non-null instances of AnyRef
:
* It is reflexive: for any non-null instance x
of type AnyRef
, x.eq(x)
returns true
.
* It is symmetric: for any non-null instances x
and y
of type AnyRef
, x.eq(y)
returns true
if and
only if y.eq(x)
returns true
.
* It is transitive: for any non-null instances x
, y
, and z
of type AnyRef
if x.eq(y)
returns true
and y.eq(z)
returns true
, then x.eq(z)
returns true
.
Additionally, the eq
method has three other properties.
* It is consistent: for any non-null instances x
and y
of type AnyRef
, multiple invocations of
x.eq(y)
consistently returns true
or consistently returns false
.
* For any non-null instance x
of type AnyRef
, x.eq(null)
and null.eq(x)
returns false
.
* null.eq(null)
returns true
.
When overriding the equals
or hashCode
methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is
consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2
), they
should be equal to each other (o1 == o2
) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode
).

This method is used to compare the receiver object (this
) with the argument object (arg0
) for equivalence.

If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation.
Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode

The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.
Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)
) yet
not be equal (o1.equals(o2)
returns false
). A degenerate implementation could always return 0
.
However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2)
returns true
) that they have
identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)

Chatsworth shooting leaves man with multiple gunshot wounds, suspect outstanding
by ABC7.com staffCHATSWORTH, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Officers found a man with multiple gunshot wounds when they responded to a shooting in Chatsworth Tuesday.
The incident happened at 4 p.m. in the 9900 block of De Soto Avenue.
The victim was unconscious and not breathing, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The victim in his 40s was shot inside an apartment before walking outside and collapsing in a stairwell. He was rushed to a hospital in critical condition.
The suspect is described as a female and fled the scene in a truck.
No arrests have been made.


How to save the state of a screen in a ScreenNavigator
and restore it later
Many times, when a user navigates away from a screen, they may return to the same screen in the future. In these cases, it is often desirable to restore the state of the screen as it was when the user navigated away. For instance, you might restore the scroll position of a list that appears on the screen.
ScreenNavigatorItem
offers a simple system for setting properties on a screen when it is created. We can take advantage of this feature to store additional properties. In the following code, we store the vertical scroll position of a list in a property named savedVerticalScrollPosition
:
var screenItem:ScreenNavigatorItem = this.owner.getScreen(this.screenID);
screenItem.properties.savedVerticalScrollPosition = this._list.verticalScrollPosition;
We can add that code at the point when we are leaving the screen. Perhaps when selecting an item from the list component.
Then, in our screen class, we can simply add a new property of the same name:
public var savedVerticalScrollPosition:Number = 0;
Finally, we can pass that property to the list when we initialize the screen:
override protected function initialize():void
{
super.initialize();
this._list.verticalScrollPosition = this._savedVerticalScrollPosition;
}

The charming adventures of an analyst and his solver.
Python obfuscation with a cute visual effect.
Here's a JAPH composed solely for effect. For each letter in 'just another python hacker' it loops over each the characters ' abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', printing each. Between characters it pauses for 0.05 seconds, backing up and moving on to the next if it hasn't reached the desired one yet. This achieves a sort of rolling effect by which the final string laboriously appears on our screen.
import string
import sys
import time
letters = ' ' + string.ascii_lowercase
for l in 'just another python hacker':
for x in letters:
print(x, end='')
sys.stdout.flush()
time.sleep(0.05)
if x == l:
break
else:
print('\b', end='')
print()
Locating and printing of each letter in the string is done via a list comprehension. At the end we actually have an extra line of code (the eval statement) that gives us our newline.
[[(lambda x,l:str(print(x,end=''))+str(__import__(print.
__doc__[print.__doc__.index('stdout') - 4:print.__doc__.
index('stdout')-1]).stdout.flush()) + str(__import__(''.
join(reversed('emit'))).sleep(0o5*1.01/0x64))+str(print(
'\b',end='\x09'.strip())if x!=l else'*'))(x1,l1)for x1
in('\x20'+getattr(__import__(type('phear').__name__+'in'
'g'),dir(__import__(type('snarf').__name__+'ing'))[13]))
[:('\x20'+getattr(__import__(type('smear').__name__+'in'

The main story revolves around the Project at Eden's Gate, a doomsday cult that has taken over the county at the command of its charismatic and powerful leader, Joseph Seed. Players control an unnamed junior deputy sheriff who becomes trapped in Hope County, and must work alongside factions of a resistance to liberate the county from the despotic rule of the Seeds and Eden's Gate. Gameplay focuses on combat and exploration; players battle enemy soldiers and dangerous wildlife using a wide array of weapons. The game features many elements found in role-playing games, such as a branching storyline and side quests. The game also features a map editor, a co-operative multiplayer mode, and a competitive multiplayer mode.


Introduction¶
The Python Library of Earth Spherical Geometry (PyESG) is aiming to perform spherical geometry on the earth and interpolate data from an unstructured mesh grid to another one, which is the so-called “regridding” or “remapping”. Thus two main usages of PyESG are:
- Spherical geometry
- Regridding
and the second usage (regridding) is the main goal of this library.
There are some existing implementations of regridding, such as NCL and EMSF. NCL mainly performs interpolation between regular mesh grids, and recently (after the version of 6.1.0) it concludes the implementation of EMSF, which performs interpolation between any mesh grids. However, the APIs of EMSF are ported to specific global models that it is not so convinient to be used in a lightweighted way. By a lightweighted way I mean calling a function like:
func(data, mesh_old, mesh_new)
Therefore, PyESG is developed to make regridding between any mesh grids easier.

Russia banned from Olympics for four years over doping scandal: TASS
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia was banned from the Olympics and world championships in a range of sports on Monday after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) ruled to punish it for manipulating laboratory data, the TASS news agency reported.
WADA’s executive committee took the decision after it concluded that Moscow had tampered with laboratory data by planting fake evidence and deleting files linked to positive doping tests that could have helped identify drug cheats.

OliverDay09-Oct-18 07:55 PM
As I was trying to say before, it would be really nice not to have to open up 2 separate instances of the Agama wallet if you wanted to go and look at your Pirate coin and Verus coin balances.(edited)
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 07:56 PM
Well, bringing 2 decentralized projects together inside a 3rd project can take time and PIRATE is quite new(edited)
OliverDay09-Oct-18 07:57 PM
Hang on.... I actually see that Verus is listed in the list of coins in this Agama Wallet version!
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 07:58 PM
for balance it works, but not for in-wallet mining

Another question... Pirate coin is pure Equihash, right?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 08:00 PM
yes
OliverDay09-Oct-18 08:00 PM
It’s not Equi 144.5 or something?

Anybody here have asics on it already?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 08:02 PM
in fact, a good portion of hash is ASICs
SHossain09-Oct-18 08:02 PM
there has been 10,000 ASIC (Z9 mini) mining PIRATE

ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 08:03 PM
wonders what unicorn @SHossain pulled that number out of
SHossain09-Oct-18 08:03 PM
135 MSol = ~10,000 z9 mini equivalent
not 100% accurate data though
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 08:04 PM
'equivalent of' != 'has been'
SHossain09-Oct-18 08:04 PM
you are right
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 08:05 PM
wouldn't mind getting my hands on 10k of them in less than 1k shipments(edited)
because @ComputerGenie 👴👴👴 is still waiting on UPS to get their slow asses here and hopes they get here before he goes bowling
Flexatron09-Oct-18 08:09 PM
So that's actually 150 msol?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 08:10 PM
nah, I only burn 40M
or you mean the mini estimate?
FishyGuts09-Oct-18 08:11 PM
What is the correct komodod-ac code?
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 08:12 PM
as far as mini hash, the result is like US cars in the 70s where quality can be linked to day of the week it was made
FishyGuts09-Oct-18 08:12 PM
I don't know what I am talking about but I know what someone is asking for. It's about running the daemon.
They're wondering if it's a forked komodod but I want to say its not correct?

Is there a "bootstrap" for the tip bot developer to use? (And what is he asking for when he asks that? Electrum connections?)
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 08:20 PM
As small as the chain is, that seems pointless
bootstrap is akin to zipfile of the chain
FishyGuts09-Oct-18 08:21 PM

I don't know about for KMd though
FishyGuts09-Oct-18 08:21 PM
Thanks for your work Wook. Lets get more of those people serious about crypto!
The chain will take a few hours to sync, that's it yeah?
wookie09-Oct-18 08:22 PM
@Flexatron no worries, I have versions of the saber in silver and in gold too! @FishyGuts I'll send along all variations of the logo, you guys can choose to use them in any way that works(edited)

Oo
scubapanda09-Oct-18 08:28 PM
Seriously, are we sending multiple logos out?
mato12109-Oct-18 08:31 PM
FishyGuts posted this: We will use the Sabre and Eyepatch logos to represent the coin until we get an entire design deck completed for the project.
We really appreciate all the hard work everyone put in and we don't want you to spend all your booty in one place.... Unless that place is Tortuga... then feel free to make it rain.
FishyGuts09-Oct-18 08:31 PM
Question... who manages the discord administration? Who would I contact about tipbot integration?
I must have missed the other z<->z only total transaction privacy coin that he knows about @Gordon Komodo(edited)
scubapanda09-Oct-18 08:36 PM
Use dogedice if you can't decide. Good or bad, I would just choose ONE logo for the time being (and give the rewards out as a draw if that was the thing). Or do we want to have different logos out on different exchanges, calculators and web pages?(edited)
jl777c09-Oct-18 08:37 PM
zcoin?
i think it doesnt hide values though
mato12109-Oct-18 08:38 PM
I would also choose 1 logo for the time being. The one that is on crypto-coinz looks good to me
ComputerGenie 👴👴👴09-Oct-18 08:38 PM
better?
FishyGuts09-Oct-18 08:39 PM
As to logos - We will probably use the simpler more definitive logo for integration publicly for now. The other will be used for announcements and releases until the final deck is complete.(edited)
