Review by Ed Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly www.nuvo-online.com Archive reviews at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Edward+Johnson-ott To receive reviews by e-mail at no charge, send subscription requests to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>One of the best moments of the '98-'99 season of "The Simpsons" came when young Lisa visited the video section of a superstore and paused in front of a TV set showing the DVD version of "The Postman." The commentary track for the epic dud featured star and director Kevin Costner apologizing to viewers for the film. Upon closer examination, Lisa discovered it wasn't really a commentary track at all; Costner himself was standing behind the television set, personally telling each passerby how very, very sorry he was for foisting such a disaster on the public.
Hopefully, "Waterworld" and "The Postman" have taught Kevin Costner that he is far better playing likable, flawed regular guys in down-to-earth settings than disaffected loners in post-apocalyptic societies. But then again, isn't that true for most of us?
In "For Love of the Game," Costner revisits the world of baseball which has served his career so well. "Bull Durham" explored the nuts and bolts of life on the minor league circuit, while focusing on a raucous romantic triangle between Costner, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon. "Field of Dreams" waxed poetic on the majesty and mystical beauty of the sport, taking a moving look at the nature of regret along the way. While not nearly as strong as either film, "For Love of the Game" is still one of Costner's best recent efforts.
The production opens with a nice title montage of photos and home movies depicting young Billy Chapel (Costner) learning the rudiments of the game from his dad, playing Little League ball and eventually becoming a superstar pitcher with the Detroit Tigers (the images are from Costner's own childhood and the older couple seen in the stands later in the film are his real-life parents).
We join the adult Chapel in the autumn of his career, on a particularly momentous day. The aging vet has just learned that his team is about to be sold and part of the deal includes his being traded to San Francisco. As if that wasn't enough, Billy's girlfriend Jane (Kelly Preston) is leaving him. "You don't need me," she says, hours before her scheduled departure for London. "You and the ball and the diamond - - you're perfect." Dejected and hung over, Chapel heads for the ballpark to pitch what might very well be the last game of his career. While memories of his rocky five-year relationship with Jane flash through his head, Billy focuses totally on throwing as hard and true as possible, blanking out everything from the jeering Yankee fans to the scoreboard itself.
And so goes the 137 minute feature, jumping from the game to numerous flashbacks of Billy and Jane. Director and baseball enthusiast Sam Raimi ("A Simple Plan") is at his best during the game sequences. He presents major-league play from a first-person perspective with great verisimilitude, with Chapel verbally sizing up each opponent before firing fast balls and curves through the air like bullets. The images are searing and, even though the outcome of the game is easy to anticipate, Raimi establishes and maintains a sense of tension that is totally engrossing.
The only problem with the game segments comes from the inclusion of overly obvious remarks from play-by-play announcers Vin Scully and Steve Lyons like "He's not just pitching a game. He's pitching against time. He's pitching against age." Thanks, fellas. We would never have figured that out on our own.
The many romantic flashbacks are less dynamic, but achieve their goal of depicting a couple who have trouble with trust and commitment. Baseball is everything for Billy and, though he cares deeply for Jane, he cannot take his eyes off the ball long enough to give their relationship the attention it requires. As for Jane, after building a successful career and raising a daughter on her own, she is wary of becoming the "other woman" in Billy's love affair with the game. Costner and Preston are effective in their roles, but because the two characters are so tentative in the area of romance, their interactions lack electricity. Both actors display more chemistry with Jane's teenage daughter Heather, nicely played by Jena Malone.
Even though the less-than-sizzling romance hits most of the clichés of the genre (including two scenes that appear simply as excuses for MTV pop song moments), Costner and Preston succeed in rising above the sometimes- tired dialogue. John C. Reilly also provides strong support as Chapel's catcher and best friend (At one point, Billy teases his overprotective pal by referring to him as "the ugliest wife in the league").
Though uneven and occasionally sluggish, "For Love of the Game" is a surprisingly satisfying hybrid of an old-fashioned sports film and a contemporary date movie. It's nice to see a story with the message that, regardless of age, we all still have the capacity for greatness and growth. While the film is the least of Kevin Costner's baseball trilogy, he has nothing to apologize for this time around.

This is a continuation of yesterday's work on my blog interface. I found a tyepface that I like. I may stick with it for the final render. The "Blog" link element is enclosed within a border to let my user know that she is at the "Blog" page. I'm exploring better options for that. I also removed the border around the section to see what the layout looks like on its own. I'm going with a predominantly typographic site and layout and then progressively enhance with imagery, video and sound.

Many describe the discovery sector as a commoditized, widget-based industry where there is little difference from vendor to vendor and the market should be driven by price alone. We strongly disagree. When we partner with our clients, we start with early project consulting and continue up to and through trial, providing court-tested strategies and the highest level of service, anticipating your needs, and making each encounter meaningful and productive.
We have grown up in this space. We have worked when there was no meaningful email, and paper ruled the discovery process. We were there when early databases were built and imaging all that paper became accepted practice. And we were there when the data deluge began. The discovery service sector has struggled to keep up. We believe it is time to get ahead of the data, ahead of the issues with capture, collection, review, production, depositions, and trial. We are committed to continue to innovate new solutions to make this process faster, more rich in content harvesting and much less expensive.

Due to statistics being used in many different disciplines, it is important for statistics to be accessible to many, and tuned to a variety of interests. I believe in the importance of teaching according to such considerations. Some courses I have taught or have been a TA for are shown below.

I was really wondering about the author reward payout of my last article.
I already know that 75% of the payment is the guaranteed reward for the author. So this would be 7.3125 SBD.
I did then found a great website: http://steem.supply from the witness @dragosroua on which the payout can be estimated.
I checked then the payment one minute before payout time:
I entered my steemit-username and toggled the display from USD to SBD and Steem Power by pressing this button:
.
One minute later, I received
So the results are not 100% accurate. Lets first understand how the author reward can easily be calculated:
Estimate your rewards with a calculator
We need to know the averaged steem / USD conversion rate which is called feed price.
The current feed price can get from steemd.com:
The feed price for my article at payout time was:
1 | feed_price = 5.9628 |
Then we need to know the pending payout value.
The $-sign means SBD in this case. So my pending payout value (value with more decimal places is taken from steemd.com):
1 | pending_payout_value = 9.7533 |
The next information that I need is my selected Rewards setting: Default (50% / 50%) or Power up (100%)?
Default
| Payout in SBD | Payout in SteemPower |
|---|---|
| pending_payout_value * 0.375 | pending_payout_value * 0.375 / feed_price |
| 9.7533 * 0.375 SBD | 9.7533 * 0.375 / 5.9628 SP |
| 3.657 SBD | 0.613 SP |
The factor 0.375 is the multiplication of author reward percentage and 50 % SBD/SteemPower (0.75 * 0.5)
Power up
| Payout in SBD | Payout in SteemPower |
|---|---|
| pending_payout_value *0 | pending_payout_value * 0.75 / feed_price |
| 9.7533 * 0 SBD | 9.7533 * 0.75 / 5.9628 SP |
| 0 SBD | 1.227 SP |
So I could understand the numbers which are shown from steem.supply. But, these numbers are only correct if you do not upvote your own article during posting.
Estimate your rewards with a calculator when using self-upvote
Why did I receive more? Because I upvoted my own article by selecting upvote post. By this, a certain percentage of the curation reward is transferred to the author. This information can be found on steemd.com.
Take a steemit url and replace steemit by steemd. Then click on advanced and look for author_curate_reward
.
In my case:
1 | author_curate_reward = 28.67 % |
Lets recalculate (28.67% -> 0.2867):
Default
| Payout in SBD | Payout in SteemPower |
|---|---|
| pending_payout_value 0.5 (0.75 + (0.25*author_curate_reward)) | pending_payout_value 0.5 (0.75 + (0.25*author_curate_reward)) / feed_price |
| 9.7533 * 0.4108 SBD | 9.7533 * 0.4108 / 5.9628 SP |
| 4.007 SBD | 0.672 SP |
Power up
| Payout in SBD | Payout in SteemPower |
|---|---|
| pending_payout_value *0 | pending_payout_value (0.75 + (0.25author_curate_reward)) / feed_price |
| 9.7533 * 0 SBD | 9.7533 * 0.82168 / 5.9628 SP |
| 0 SBD | 1.344 SP |
Finally, I was able to understand why I recieved more than predicted.
Self-upvote
I follow the rule that I upvote my own posts (I write only 2-3 per week) but never my own comments. I normally work 1-2 hours (or more sometimes) on each single posts, so I think it is fair to reward myself with my small upvote.
Do you have questions or comments? Please let me know. All images are screenshots from steemit.com, steem.supply and steemd.com.

[gecode-users] Using IntActivity with space
Kish Shen
kisshen at cisco.com
Tue Jul 9 20:48:31 CEST 2013
Hi,
I am now looking at adding the variable activity selection to the
interface I am writing.
From reading the MPG, it looks like IntActivity has a similar API to
IntAFC, and so cannot be easily used in my code. So is there anyway
to setup and use it in a similar way to what Christian suggested for AFC
previously? That is,
1) to setup the recording of activity for all variables in the space,
including variables that are dynamically added
2) to obtain the activity of a variable outside of the search engine
3) change the decay for all variables
For 2), I could not find an equivalent function to afc() in the
Gecode::IntVar Member List page that Christian pointed to previously
(which does list the afc method).
Thanks in advance for any information!
Cheers,
Kish

| Jump to DART Documentation Main Index |
DART observation sequence files are stored in a proprietary format. This tool makes it easier to manipulate these files, allowing the user to subset or combine one or more files into a single output file.
The tool has many options to select subsets of observations by time, type, data value, and location. The tool also allows the contents of observations to be changed by subsetting and/or reordering the copies and qc entries. Files with equivalent data but with different metadata labels (e.g. 'NCEP QC' vs. 'QC') can now be merged as well. The tool can be run without creating an output file, only printing a summary of the counts of each observation type in the input files, and it can be used to convert from binary to ASCII and back.
The actions of the obs_sequence_tool program are controlled by a Fortran namelist, read from a file named input.nml in the current directory. A detailed description of each namelist item is described in the namelist section below.
The examples section of this document below has extensive examples of common usages for this tool. Below that are more details about DART observation sequence files, the structure of individual observations, and general background information.
This namelist is read from the file input.nml. Namelists start with an ampersand '&' and terminate with a slash '/'. Character strings that contain a '/' must be enclosed in quotes to prevent them from prematurely terminating the namelist.

| Item | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| filename_seq | character(len=256), dimension(1000) | The array of names of the observation sequence files to process. (With the F90 namelist mechanism it is only necessary to specify as many names as you have input files; unspecified list values are cleanly ignored.) |
| filename_seq_list | character(len=256) | The name of a text file which contains, one per line, the names of the observation sequence files to process. The names on each line in the file should not have any delimiters, e.g. no single or double quotes at the start or end of the filename. This file can be made with a text editor or with the output of the 'ls' command, e.g. ls obs_seq.* > flist. You can only specify one of filename_seq OR filename_seq_list, not both. |
| filename_out | character(len=256) | The name of the resulting output observation sequence file. |
| first_obs_days | integer | If non-negative, restrict the timestamps of the observations copied to the output file to be equal to or after this day number (specified in the Gregorian calendar; day number since 1601). |
| first_obs_seconds | integer | If non-negative, restrict the timestamps of the observations copied to the output file to be equal to or after this time. |
| last_obs_days | integer | If non-negative, restrict the timestamps of the observations copied to the output file to be equal to or before this date (specified in the Gregorian calendar; day number since 1601). |
| last_obs_seconds | integer | If non-negative, restrict the timestamps of the observations copied to the output file to be equal to or before this time. |
| obs_types | character(len=32), dimension(500) | The array of observation type names to process. If any names specified, then based on the setting of keep_types, these observation types will either be the only types kept in the output file, or they will be removed and all other types will be copied to the output file. |
| keep_types | logical | Ignored unless one or more observation types are specified in the obs_types namelist. If .TRUE., only the specified observation types will be copied to the output file; if .FALSE., all types except the listed ones will be copied to the output file. |
| min_box | real(r8)(:) | If the locations are 1D, set a min value here instead of using the lat/lon box values. |
| max_box | real(r8)(:) | If the locations are 1D, set a max value here instead of using the lat/lon box values. |
| min_lat | real(r8) | If specified, the minimum latitude, in degrees, of observations to be copied to the output file. This assumes compiling with the 3d-sphere locations module. |
| max_lat | real(r8) | If specified, the maximum latitude, in degrees, of observations to be copied to the output file. This assumes compiling with the 3d-sphere locations module. |
| min_lon | real(r8) | If specified, the minimum longitude, in degrees, of observations to be copied to the output file. This assumes compiling with the 3d-sphere locations module. If min_lon is larger than max_lon, wrap across 360 to 0 is assumed. |
| max_lon | real(r8) | If specified, the maximum longitude, in degrees, of observations to be copied to the output file. This assumes compiling with the 3d-sphere locations module. If min_lon is larger than max_lon, wrap across 360 to 0 is assumed. |
| copy_metadata | character | If specified, the metadata string describing one of the data copy fields in the input observation sequence files. |
| min_copy | real | If specified, the minimum value in the data copy field matching the copy_metadata name that will be copied to the output file. |
| max_copy | real | If specified, the maximum value in the data copy field matching the copy_metadata name that will be copied to the output file. |
| copy_type | character(len=32) | If specified, the string name of an observation type to be copied to the output file only if the min and max values specified are in range. All other observation types are discarded if this option is specified. |
| edit_copy_metadata | logical | If true, replace the output file metadata strings with the list specified in the new_copy_metadata list. |
| new_copy_metadata | character(len=*)(:) | List of new metadata strings. Use with care, there is no error checking to ensure you are doing a valid replacement. |
| edit_copies | logical | If true, subset or rearrange the actual data copies in the output. The new_copy_index list controls the output order of copies from the input files. |
| new_copy_index | integer(:) | An array of integers, which control how copies in the input are moved to the output sequence. The values must be between 0 and the number of copies in the input sequence. They can be repeated to replicate an existing copy; they can be specified in any order to reorder the entries; they can include the value 0 to insert a new copy. -1 ends the list. If -1 is specified as the first value all copies will be deleted. |
| new_copy_data | real(:) | An array of reals. The length should correspond to the number of 0s in the new_copy_index list, and will be the data value for the new copies. This value will be constant for all observations. |
| qc_metadata | character | If specified, the metadata string describing one of the quality control (QC) fields in the input observation sequence files. |
| min_qc | real | If specified, the minimum qc value in the QC field matching the qc_metadata name that will be copied to the output file. |
| max_qc | real | If specified, the maximum qc value in the QC field matching the qc_metadata name that will be copied to the output file. |
| edit_qc_metadata | logical | If true, replace the output file metadata strings with the list specified in the new_qc_metadata list. |
| new_qc_metadata | character(len=*)(:) | List of new metadata strings. Use with care, there is no error checking to ensure you are doing a valid replacement. |
| edit_qcs | logical | If true, subset or rearrange the actual data QCs in the output. The new_qc_index list controls the output order of QCs from the input files. |
| new_qc_index | integer(:) | An array of integers, which control how QCs in the input are moved to the output sequence. The values must be between 0 and the number of QCs in the input sequence. They can be repeated to replicate an existing QCs; they can be specified in any order to reorder the entries; they can include the value 0 to insert a new qc. -1 ends the list. If -1 is specified as the first value, all QCs will be deleted. |
| new_qc_data | real(:) | An array of reals. The length should correspond to the number of 0s in the new_qc_index list, and will be the data value for the new QCs. This value will be constant for all observations. |
| synonymous_copy_list | character(len=*)(:) | An array of strings which are to be considered synonyms in the copy metadata strings for all the input obs seq files. Any string in this list will match any other string. The first obs sequence file to copy observations to the output file will set the actual values used, unless they are explicitly overridden by edit_copy_metadata. |
| synonymous_qc_list | character(len=*)(:) | An array of strings which are to be considered synonyms in the qc metadata strings for all the input obs seq files. Any string in this list will match any other string. The first obs sequence file to qc observations to the output file will set the actual values used, unless they are explicitly overridden by edit_qc_metadata. |
| print_only | logical | If .TRUE., do not create an output file, but print a summary of the number and types of each observation in each input file, and then the number of observations and types which would have been created in an output file. If other namelist selections are specified (e.g. start and end times, select by observation type, qc value, etc) the summary message will include the results of that processing. |
| gregorian_cal | logical | If .true. the dates of the first and last observations in each file will be printed in both (day/seconds) format and in gregorian calendar year/month/day hour:min:sec format. Set this to .false. if the observations were not created with gregorian calendar times. |
| num_input_files | integer | DEPRECATED. The number of observation sequence files to process is now set by counting up the number of input filenames specified. This namelist item is ignored and will be removed in future versions of the code. |
Here are details on how to set up common cases using this tool:
Either specify a list of input files for filename_seq, like:
&obs_sequence_tool_nml filename_seq = 'obs_seq20071101', 'qscatL2B_2007_11_01a.out', 'obs_seq.gpsro_2007110106', filename_out = 'obs_seq20071101.all', gregorian_cal = .true. /
and all observations in each of the three input files will be merged in time order and output in a single observation sequence file. Or from the command line create a file containing one filename per line, either with 'ls':
ls obs_seq_in* > tlist
or with a text editor, or any other tool of your choice. Then,
&obs_sequence_tool_nml filename_seq_list = 'tlist', filename_out = 'obs_seq20071101.all', gregorian_cal = .true. /
will open 'tlist' and read the filenames, one per line, and merge them together. The output file will be named 'obs_seq20071101.all'. Note that the filenames inside the list file should not have delimiters (e.g. single or double quotes) around the filenames.
The observations copied to the output file can be restricted in time by setting the namelist items for the first and last observation timestamps (in days and seconds). It is not an error for some of the input files to have no observations in the requested time range, and multiple input files can have overlapping time ranges. For example:
&obs_sequence_tool_nml filename_seq = 'obs_seq20071101', 'qscatL2B_2007_11_01a.out', 'obs_seq.gpsro_2007110106', filename_out = 'obs_seq20071101.06hrs', first_obs_days = 148592, first_obs_seconds = 10801, last_obs_days = 148592, last_obs_seconds = 32400, gregorian_cal = .true. /The time range is inclusive on both ends; observations with times equal to the boundary times will be copied to the output. To split a single input file up into proper subsets (no replicated observations), the first time of the following output sequence should be +1 second from the last time of the previous output sequence. If the goal is to match an observation sequence file with an assimilation window during the execution of the filter program, the windows should be centered around the assimilation time starting at minus 1/2 the window time plus 1 second, and ending at exactly plus 1/2 the window time.
You specify a list of observation types, by string name, and then specify a logical value to say whether this is the list of observations to keep, or if it's the list of observations to discard. For example,
&obs_sequence_tool_nml filename_seq = 'obs_seq20071101.06hrs', filename_out = 'obs_seq20071101.wind', obs_types = 'RADIOSONDE_U_WIND_COMPONENT', 'RADIOSONDE_V_WIND_COMPONENT', keep_types = .true., gregorian_cal = .true. /
will create an output file which contains only the U and V wind observations from the given input file.
&obs_sequence_tool_nml filename_seq = 'obs_seq20071101.06hrs', filename_out = 'obs_seq20071101.notemp', obs_types = 'RADIOSONDE_TEMPERATURE', keep_types = .false., gregorian_cal = .true. /
will strip out all the radiosonde temperature observations and leave everything else.
If the observations have locations specified in 3 dimensions, as latitude, longitude, and a vertical coordinate, then it can be subset by specifying the corners of a lat, lon box. There is currently no vertical subsetting option. For example:
min_lat = 0.0, max_lat = 20.0, min_lon = 230.0, max_lon = 260.0,
will only output observations between 0 and 20 latitude and 230 to 260 in longitude. Latitude ranges are −90 to 90, longitude can either be specified from −180 to +180, or 0 to 360.
If the observations have 1 dimensional locations, between 0 and 1, then a bounding box can be specified like:
min_box = 0.2, max_box = 0.4,
will keep only those observations between 0.2 and 0.4. In all these tests, points on the boundaries are considered inside the box.
To convert a (more compact) binary observation sequence file to a (human readable and portable) ASCII file, a single input and single output file can be specified with no selection criteria. The output file format is specified by the write_binary_obs_sequence item in the &obs_sequence_nml namelist in the input.nml file. It is a Fortran logical; setting it to .TRUE. will write a binary file, setting it to .FALSE. will write an ASCII text file. If you have a binary file, it must be converted on the same kind of platform as it was created on before being moved to another architecture. At this point in time, there are only 2 remaining incompatible platforms: IBM systems based on PowerPC chips, and everything else (which is Intel or AMD).
Any number of input files and selection options can be specified, as well, but for a simple conversion, leave all other input namelist items unset.
To merge files which have the same number of copies and qc but different labels for what is exactly the same data, you can specify a list of synonym strings that will pass the matching test. For example:
&obs_sequence_tool_nml filename_seq = 'qscatL2B_2007_11_01.out', 'obs_seq20071101', 'obs_seq.gpsro_2007110124', filename_out = 'obs_seq20071101.all', gregorian_cal = .true. synonymous_copy_list = 'NCEP BUFR observation', 'AIRS observation', 'observation', synonymous_qc_list = 'NCEP QC index', 'AIRS QC', 'QC flag - wvc quality flag', 'QC', /
will allow any copy listed to match any other copy on that list, and same with the QC values. If the output metadata strings are not specified (see below), then the actual metadata strings from the first file which is used will set the output metadata strings.
To rename or override, with care, existing metadata strings in a file, set the appropriate edit strings to true, and set the same number of copies and/or QC values as will be in the output file. Note that this will replace, without warning, whatever is originally listed as metadata. You can really mangle things here, so use this with caution:
&obs_sequence_tool_nml filename_seq = 'qscat_all_qc_305.out', 'qscat_all_qc_306.out', filename_out = 'qscat_1_qc_2007_11.out', edit_copy_metadata = .true., new_copy_metadata = 'observation', edit_qc_metadata = .true., new_qc_metadata = 'QC', 'DART quality control', gregorian_cal = .true. /
The log file will print out what input strings are being replaced; check this carefully to be sure you are doing what you expect.
If you use both a synonym list and the edit list, the output file will have the specified edit list strings for metadata.
To delete some of the copies or QC values in each observation, specify the copy or QC index numbers which are to be passed through, and list them in the exact order they should appear in the output:
edit_copies = .true., new_copy_index = 1, 2, 81, 82, edit_qcs = .true., new_qc_index = 2,
This will create an output sequence file with only 4 copies; the original first and second copies, and copies 81 and 82. The original metadata will be retained. It will have only the second QC value from the original file.
If you are editing the copies or QCs and also specifying new metadata strings, use the number and order appropriate to the output file regardless of how many copies or QC values there were in the original input files.
You can use these index lists to reorder copies or QC values by specifying the same number of index values as currently exist but list them in a different order. Index values can be repeated multiple times in a list. This will duplicate both the metadata string as well as the data values for the copy or QC.
To delete all copies or QCs specify -1 as the first (only) entry in the new index list.
edit_qcs = .true., new_qc_index = -1,
To add copies or QCs, use 0 as the index value.
edit_copies = .true., new_copy_index = 1, 2, 0, 81, 82, 0 new_copy_data = 3.0, 8.0, edit_qcs = .true., new_qc_index = 2, 1, 3, 0, new_qc_data = 1.0,
This will insert 2 new copies in each observation and give them values of 3.0 and 8.0 in all observations. There is no way to insert a different value on a per-obs basis. This example will also reorder the 3 existing QC values and then add 1 new QC value of 1 in all observations. The 'edit_copy_metadata' and 'edit_qc_metadata' flags with the 'new_copy_metadata' and 'new_qc_metadata' lists can be used to set the metadata names of the new copies and QCs.
edit_copies = .true., new_copy_index = 1, 0, 2, 0, new_copy_data = 3.0, 8.0, edit_copy_metadata = .true., new_copy_metadata = 'observation', 'new copy 1', 'truth', 'new copy 2', edit_qcs = .true., new_qc_index = 0, 2, new_qc_data = 0.0, edit_qc_metadata = .true., new_qc_metadata = 'dummy QC', 'DART QC',
To remove an existing QC value and add a QC value of 0 for all observations, run with:
edit_qcs = .true., new_qc_index = 0, new_qc_data = 0.0, edit_qc_metadata = .true., new_qc_metadata = 'dummy QC',
to add a constant QC of 0 for all observations, with a metadata label of 'dummy QC'.
It would be useful to allow copies or QCs from one file to be combined, obs by obs, with those from another file. However, it isn't easy to figure out how to ensure the observations in multiple files are in exactly the same order so data from the same obs are being combined. Also how to specify what should be combined is a bit complicated. So this functionality is NOT available in this tool.
Note that you can set all the other options and then set print true, and it will do all the work and then just print out how many of each obs type would have been created. It is an easy way to preview what your choices would do without waiting to write an output file. It only prints the type breakdown for output file, but does print a running total of how many obs are being kept from each input file. For example:
&obs_sequence_tool_nml filename_seq = 'obs_seq20071101', print_only = .true., /
You can specify a min, max data value and/or min, max qc value, and only those within the range will be kept. There is no exclude option. For the data value, you must also specify an observation type since different types have different units and valid ranges. For example:
# keep only observations with a DART QC of 0: qc_metadata = 'Dart quality control', min_qc = 0, max_qc = 0, # keep only radiosonde temp obs between 250 and 300 K: copy_metadata = 'NCEP BUFR observation', copy_type = 'RADIOSONDE_TEMPERATURE', min_copy = 250.0, max_copy = 300.0,
DART observation sequence files are lists of individual observations, each with a type, a time, one or more values (called copies), zero or more quality control flags, a location, and an error estimate. Regardless of the physical order of the observations in the file, they are always processed in increasing time order, using a simple linked list mechanism. This tool reads in one or more input observation sequence files, and creates a single output observation sequence file with all observations sorted into a single, monotonically increasing time ordered output file.
DART observation sequence files contain a header with the total observation count and a table of contents of observation types. The output file from this tool culls out unused observations, and only includes observation types in the table of contents which actually occur in the output file. The table of contents does not need to be the same across multiple files to merge them. Each file has a self-contained numbering system for observation types. However, the obs_sequence_tool must be compiled with a list of observation types (defined in the obs_def files listed in the preprocess namelist) which includes all defined types across all input files. See the building section below for more details on compiling the tool.
The tool can handle observation sequence files at any stage along the processing pipeline: a template file with locations but no data, input files for an assimilation which have observation values only, or output files from an assimilation which then might include the prior and posterior mean and standard deviation, and optionally the output from the forward operator from each ensemble member. In all of these cases, the format of each individual observation is the same. It has zero or more copies, which is where the observation value and the means, forward operators, etc are stored. Each observation also has zero or more quality control values, qc, which can be associated with the incoming data quality, or can be added by the DART software to indicate how the assimilation processed this observation. Each of the copies and qc entries has an single associated character label at the start of the observation sequence file which describes what each entry is, called the metadata.
For multiple observation sequence files to be merged they must have the same number of copies and qc values, and all associated metadata must be identical. To merge multiple files where the numbers do not match exactly, the tool can be used on the individual files to rename, subset, and reorder the copies and/or qc first, and then the resulting files are mergeable. To merge multiple files where the metadata strings do not match, but the data copy or qc values are indeed the same things, there are options to rename the metadata strings. This option should be used with care. If the copies or qc values in different files are not really the same, the tool will go ahead and merge them but the resulting file will be very wrong.
The tool offers an additional option for specifying a list of input files. The user creates an ASCII file by any desired method (e.g. ls > file, editor), with one filename per line. The names on each line in the file should not have any delimiters, e.g. no single or double quotes at the start or end of the filename. They specify this file with the filename_seq_list namelist item, and the tool opens the list file and processes each input file in turn. The namelist item num_input_files is now DEPRECATED and is ignored. The number of input files is computed from either the explicit list in filename_seq, or the contents of the filename_seq_list file.
Time is stored inside of DART as a day number and number of seconds, which is the same no matter which calendar is being used. But many real-world observations use the Gregorian calendar for converting between number of days and an actual date. If the gregorian_cal namelist item is set to .TRUE. then any times will be printed out to the log file will be both in day/seconds and calendar date. If the observation times are not using the Gregorian calendar, then set this value to .FALSE. and only days/seconds will be printed.
The most common use of this tool is to process a set of input files into a single output file, or to take one input file and extract a subset of observations into a smaller file. The examples section below outlines several common scenerios.
The tool now also allows the number of copies to be changed, but only to select subsets or reorder them. It is not yet possible to merge copies or QCs from observations in different files into a single observation with more copies.
Observations can also be selected by a given range of quality control values or data values.
Observations can be restricted to a given bounding box, either in latitude and longitude (in the horizontal only), or if the observations have 1D locations, then a single value for min_box and max_box can be specified to restrict the observations to a subset of the space.
Yes. The numbering in the table of contents at the top of each file is only local to that file. All processing of types is done with the string name, not the numbers. Neither the set of obs types, nor the observation numbers need to match across files.
Look at the &preprocess_nml namelist in the input.nml file in the directory where your tool was built. It must have all the observation types you need to handle listed in the input_files item.
Sure. It will take slightly longer to run, in that the tool must open the file and check the times and observation types. But it is not an error to list files where no observations will be copied to the output file. It is a common task to list a set of observation files and then set the first and last observation times, run the tool to select a shorter time period, then change the first and last times and run again with the same list of files.
Most $DART/models/*/work directories will build the tool along with other executable programs. It is also possible to build the tool in the $DART/observations/utilities directory. The preprocess program must be built and run first, to define what set of observation types will be supported. See the preprocess documentation for more details on how to define the list and run it. The combined list of all observation types which will be encountered over all input files must be in the preprocess input list. The other important choice when building the tool is to include a compatible locations module. For the low-order models, the oned module should be used; for real-world observations, the threed_sphere module should be used.

# Forward Compatibility for Transaction Logs
## Background
A repeated concern with adopting FoundationDB has been that upgrades are one
way, with no supported rollback. If one were to upgrade a cluster running 6.0
to a 6.1, then there's no way to roll back to 6.0 if the new version results in
worse client application performance or unavailability. In the interest of
increasing adoption, work has begun on supporting on-disk forward
compatibility, which allows for upgrades to be rolled back.
The traditional way of allowing roll backs is to have one version, `N`, that
introduces a feature, but is left as disabled. `N+1` enables the feature, and
then `N+2` removes whatever was deprecated in `N`. However, FDB currently has
a 6 month release cadence, and waiting 6 months to be able to use a new feature
in production is unacceptably long. Thus, the goal is to have a way to be able
to have a sane and user-friendly, rollback-supporting upgrade path, but still
allow features to be used immediately if desired.
This document also carries two specific restrictions to the scope of what it covers:
1. This document specifically is **not** a discussion of network protocol
compatibility nor supporting rolling upgrades. Rolling upgrades of FDB are
still discouraged, and minor versions are still protocol incompatible with
each other.
2. This only covers the proposed design of how forward compatibility for
transaction logs will be handled, and not forward compatibility for
FoundationDB as a whole. There are other parts of the system that durably
store data, the coordinators and storage servers, that will not be discussed.
## Overview
A new configuration option, `log_version`, will be introduced to allow a user
to control which on-disk format the transaction logs are allowed to use. Not
every release will affect the on-disk format of the transaction logs, so
`log_version` is an opaque integer that is incremented by one whenever the
on-disk format of the transaction log is changed.
`log_version` is set by from `fdbcli`, with an invocation looking like
`$ fdbcli -C cluster.file --exec "configure log_version:=2"`. Note that `:=`
is used instead of `=`, to keep the convention in `fdbcli` that configuration
options that users aren't expected to need (or wish) to modify are set with
`:=`.
Right now, FDB releases and `log_version` values are as follows:
| Release | Log Version |
| ------- | ----------- |
| pre-5.2 | 1 |
| 5.2-6.0 | 2 |
| 6.1+ | 3 |
| 6.2 | 4 |
| 6.3 | 5 |
If a user does not specify any configuration for `log_version`, then
`log_version` will be set so that rolling back to the previous minor version of
FDB will be possible. FDB will always support loading files generated by
default from the next minor version. It will be possible to configure
`log_version` to a higher value on the release that introduces it, it the user
is willing to sacrifice the ability to roll back.
This means FDB's releases will work like the following:
| | 6.0 | 6.1 | 6.2 | 6.3 |
|--------------|-----|-----|-------|---------|
| Configurable | 2 | 2,3 | 3,4 | 4,5 |
| Default | 2 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Recoverable | 2 | 2,3 | 2,3,4 | 2,3,4,5 |
Where...
* "configurable" means values considered an acceptable configuration setting for `fdbcli> configure log_version:=N`.
* "default" means what `log_version` will be if you don't configure it.
* "recoverable" means that FDB can load files that were generated from the specified `log_version`.
Configuring to a `log_version` will cause FDB to use the maximum of that
`log_version` and default `log_version`. The default `log_version` will always
be the minimum configurable log version. This is done so that manually setting
`log_version` once, and then upgrading FDB multiple times, will eventually
cause a low `log_version` left in the database configuration to act as a
request for the default. Configuring `log_version` to a very high number (e.g. 9999)
will cause FDB to always use the highest available log version.
As a concrete example, 6.1 will introduce a new transaction log feature with
on-disk format implications. If you wish to use it, you'll first have to
`configure log_version:=3`. Otherwise, after upgrading to FDB6.2, it will
become the default. If problems are discovered when upgrading to FDB6.2, then
roll back to FDB6.1. (Theoretically. See scope restrictions above.)
## Detailed Implementation
`fdbcli> configure log_version:=3` sets `\xff/conf/log_version` to `3`. This
version is also persisted as part of the `LogSystemConfig` and thus
`DBCoreState`, so that any code handling the log system will have access to the
`log_version` that was used to create it.
Changing `log_version` will result in a recovery, and FoundationDB will recover
into the requested transaction log implementation. This involves locking the
previous generation of transaction logs, and then recruiting a new generation
of transaction logs. FDB will load `\xff/conf/log_version` as the requested
`log_version`, and when sending a `InitializeTLogRequest` to recruit a new
transaction log, it uses the maximum of the requested log version and the
default `log_version`.
A worker, when receiving an `InitializeTLogRequest`, will initialize a
transaction log corresponding to the requested `log_version`. Transaction logs
can pack multiple generations of transaction logs into the same shared entity,
a `SharedTLog`. `SharedTLog` instances correspond to one set of files, and
will only contain transaction log generations of the same `log_version`.
This allows us to have multiple generations of transaction logs running within
one worker that have different `log_version`s, and if the worker crashes and
restarts, we need to be able to recreate those transaction log instances.
Transaction logs maintain two types of files, one is a pair files prefixed with
`logqueue-` that are the DiskQueue, and the other is the metadata store, which
is normally a mini `ssd-2` storage engine running within the transaction log.
When a worker first starts, it scans its data directory for any files that were
instances of a transaction log. It then needs to construct a transaction log
instance that can read the format of the file to be able to reconnect the data
in the files back to the FDB cluster, so that it can be used in a recovery if
needed.
This presents a problem that the worker needs to know all the configuration
options that were used to decide the file format of the transaction log
*before* it can rejoin a cluster and get far enough through a recovery to find
out what that configuration was. To get around this, the relevant
configuration options have been added to the file name so that they're
available when scanning the list of files.
Currently, FDB identifies a transaction log instance via seeing a file that starts
with `log-`, which represents the metadata store. This filename has the format
of `log-

The Evolution of jimskerritt.com: YAGNI
This website has received a number of facelifts over the years. It seems I've spent more time building and less time blogging. "I can't start writing articles until I have tagging, a nice three-column fluid layout, and this and that," I told myself. This was back when the first version of jimskerritt.com used BlogEngine.NET. It had a whopping total of zero articles. Why? Because I spent more time fighting with the framework instead of actually using it to do the thing I wanted to do. It was frustrating, but I learned a lot.
When I finally felt motivated to start a blog again, I decided to go simpler and use GitHub Pages with documents I would create myself. The layout would use Bootstrap and everything will be simple and life will be grand.
Wrong. Again, I ended up playing with Bootstrap more than writing articles. Navigation bars, themes, and column layouts were taking up all of my time. While still a valuable learning experience, I wanted to be able to lower the barrier to writing an article as much as possible. Do I really need all of these things that Bootstrap offers, or was I just trying to shoehorn features in because they seemed like they would make my site cooler?
So I started over, again. This time, I would use no Javascript, no fixed navbars, no multi-column layouts, and no CSS but my own. Just me and my articles. The result was the quickest design I've ever come up with. After just a few hours, my site was cleaner and faster, and most importantly, adding articles became incredibly simple.
You aren't gonna need it
KISS and YAGNI are virtues that we should all embrace. The lesson here is that I followed neither. I wanted to start a blog. That was my problem. Instead of solving that, I was solving problems about how to add post tagging and create overly complicated layouts. Solve the problem that you want to solve, and nothing else.
Will I need the ability to add comments to my articles? Or tag them? Or organize them by month and year? Sure. Maybe. Eventually. But these are problems I will solve when they actually become problems.
Build what you need as you need it, aggressively refactoring as you go along; don't spend a lot of time planning for grandiose, unknown future scenarios. Good software can evolve into what it will ultimately become.

Jays send Shafer to Reds for cash
by TSN.ca StaffThe Toronto Blue Jays announced the trade of right-handed reliever Justin Shafer to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.
Shafer, 27, made 34 appearances for the team in 2019, going 2-1 with an earned run average of 3.86 and a WHIP of 1.664 over 39.2 innings pitched.
A native of Lake Wales, FL, Shafer was taken by the Jays in the eighth round of the 2014 draft out of Florida. He made his MLB debut in 2018.
Shafer had been designated for assignment last week and Tim Mayza was outrighted to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons in order to make room on the 40-man roster for shortstop Santiago Espinal and right-handed pitcher Thomas Hatch.


Line Grinder
Gerber Plot to Isolation Milling GCode Software
Isolation Cut File Managers
The Line Grinder Isolation Cut File Manager
What Do Isolation Cut File Managers Do
Isolation Cut File Managers produce the GCode which cuts the copper of the PCB around the traces and pads thus electrically isolating them from the other components on the board. Isolation GCode is created from the Gerber file contents by associating a File Manager with an OperationMode of type Isolation_Cut with the file. The association is performed by setting the FileNamePattern field of the File Manager to all or part of the Gerber files name.
Isolation_Cut file managers can also produce Reference Pin GCode - if required.
The configuration items for Isolation_Cut File Managers are:
General Category
- OperationMode
- This value determines the type of GCode the File Manager will create from the GCode file it processes. This value is set when the File Manager is created and cannot be changed.
- FilenamePattern
- A part of a Gerber file name. When the Gerber file is opened, the list of File Managers will be searched and the first File Manager found which has a FilenamePattern value contained within the name of the Gerber file will be used to process that file. The standard wild cards of * and % should not be used.
- Description
- A user-defined configuration item that can be used as brief documentation to describe the purpose of the File Manager.
File Manager Category
- AutoGenerateGCode
- If enabled, the GCode file can be automatically generated when the file is opened. If this value is False then the GCode must be generated after the file is opened by pressing the Convert to GCode button found on the main form.
- ShowGCodeLineNumbers
- If enabled, old style line numbers will be placed in the GCode file. This option is offered for completeness since line numbers in the GCode file almost never necessary or wanted.
- WarnAboutOverwriting
- Normally the Line Grinder will issue an warning message if the GCode file you are about to save already exists. This warning can be disabled by setting this option to False.
Isolation Cuts Category
- IsoCutGCodeEnabled
- If this value is set to True then the GCode which isolates the traces by creating isolation cuts around them will be generated when the Generate GCode button on the main form is pressed.
- IsolationGCodeFileOutputExtension
- When the generated Isolation Cut GCode file is saved, the existing filename extension will be removed and this value substituted in its place.
- IsoFlipMode
- Gerber plots are always generated as viewed "from the top". This means that if the isolation cuts are to be engraved on the underside of a double sided PCB then the board must be flipped along either the X or Y axis. If the IsoFlipMode is Flip_X then any Y coordinates remain constant and the X coordinates are adjusted so as to mirror image the board. The reverse is true if the IsoFlipMode is Flip_Y. The issue of registration so that the pads of the top and bottom isolation cuts are properly aligned is handled by the use of Reference Pins.
- IsoZCutLevel
- This is the depth, in application units, to which the toolhead will be driven in the PCB material in order to engrave the isolation cut paths. This value should be negative (zero is traditionally the surface of the PCB) and should be a very small value - since it is only necessary to cut a small distance into the PCB in order to electrically isolate the two parts. Note that the engraving bit is usually conical. This has profound implications in terms of the width of the line being cut. Deeper cuts mean a wider line when a conical bit is used. See the IsoZCutLevel discussion on the What Can Go Wrong help page for more information on this topic.
- IsoZMoveLevel
- This is the height above the PCB at which the toolhead moves about as it hops about from cut to cut. It should be positive because it is above the surface of the PCB but not so high as to consume large amounts of time getting into position.
- IsoZClearLevel
- This is the height above the PCB at which the toolhead moves quickly in order to get into position. It should be positive because it is above the surface of the PCB and high enough to clear all hold downs and other clamping material.
- IsoZFeedRate
- This is the speed (in Application Units per minute) at which the toolhead will drive the milling bit into the PCB.
- IsoXYFeedRate
- This is the speed (in Application Units per minute) at which the toolhead moves along when cutting the isolation cuts on the PCB. If this is too fast a poor cut will be made. If it is too slow then the isolation milling operations will take longer than necessary.
- IsoCutWidth
- This is a very important parameter which determines the visible width on the Plot View of all isolation cuts. The reason why this is such a very important parameter is because it determines the width of the isolation tracks on the PCB. The Line Grinders Gerber to GCode conversion algorithm pays very close attention to the IsoCutWidth value and cannot and will not attempt to run an isolation cut line between two objects separated by less than that distance. You should review the discussion on the What Can Go Wrong help page concerning this parameter and the effects of setting it too large or too small.
- IsoPadTouchDownsWanted
- Pad touch downs are small indents set into the center of the pads by the milling bit as it cuts the Isolation GCode. These are very useful as "drill hole centers". The milling bit is usually much more rigid than the small drilling bits used to drill out the holes on the PCB. If these holes are present, the drilling bit has a much easier time of setting itself in the exact center of the pad and, if manually drilling, you are much less likely to break a small drill bit. If this value is set to True then the isolation cut GCode will also contain code to touch the milling bit to the center of each pad.
- IsoPadTouchDownZLevel
- This is the depth, in Application Units, to which the toolhead will send the milling bit when performing pad touchdown operations. This value should be negative (zero is traditionally the surface of the PCB) and should be a very small value - since it is only necessary to cut a small distance into the PCB in order to make an indent in the surface.
Reference Pins Category
- ReferencePinGCodeEnabled
- If set to True then the GCode which drills the Reference Pin holes will be generated when the Convert to GCode button on the main form is pressed. This option is normally only enabled for File Managers which process the "Top Copper" layers, since only one Reference Pin GCode file is needed per PCB.
- ReferencePinGCodeFileOutputExtension
- When the generated Reference Pin GCode file is saved, the existing filename extension will be removed and this value substituted in its place.
- ReferencePinsDrillingZDepth
- This is the depth, in Application Units, to which the toolhead will be driven through the PCB material in order to create the holes for the Reference Pins. This value should be negative (zero is traditionally the surface of the PCB) and should be a value deep enough to physically hold the reference pins (old milling bits are usually used for this purpose) firmly when the PCB is turned over to begin isolation cuts on the other side. Obviously you are not going to want to be drilling into the bed of your mill, so the PCB is usually mounted on a "throw-away" piece of wood.
- ReferencePinsZClearLevel
- This is the height above the PCB at which the toolhead moves quickly in order to get into position. It should be positive because it is above the surface of the PCB and high enough to clear all hold downs and other clamping material.
- ReferencePinsZFeedRate
- This is the speed (in Application Units per minute) at which the toolhead will drive the drilling bit into the PCB.
- ReferencePinXYFeedRate
- This is the speed (in Application Units per minute) at which the toolhead moves about when moving from position to position. If it is too slow then the Reference Pin drilling operations will take longer than necessary.
- ReferencePinsMaxNumber
- This is just a check value (normally set to 6) which counts the number of defined Reference Pin pads on the PCB. Because the Reference Pin pads are detected by looking for pads of a user defined size it is useful to have a test to see if there are more than expected.
- ReferencePinPadDiameter
- This is the diameter of the Reference Pin Pads which you have created on the PCB. This diameter is used to find the Reference Pin pads. Only Reference Pin pads should be this diameter. There are several other criteria required in order to successfully create Reference Pins. You should review the Reference Pins section of the What you Need To Know help page for more information.

There are two examples of chat, using cometd as a backend and Dojo's dojox.cometd client as a transport.
The first, a simple public chat room, that any live participants that happen to be online will be able to communicate.
The other: the example from the Dojo Book - an example of a client / operator relationship, where the client chats from an 'existing' page, and the operator has a TabContainer view of open client chats, and can communicate privately and directly to the client. The client page demonstrates how this can be used in existing pages for real-time support. You will need two people for this, or you are welcome to talk to yourself ...

It's a bad idea to start studing last minutes. You get overwhealmed and tired. you start to forget everything you studied and you are simply discouraged. Try to retain information on daily Basis
Some people like quiet places like libraries, others like study groups. Choose a place that makes inspired and comfortable
Whether it's a professor or a peer, talking to someone else will help you get unstuck and save time.
Some people feel more focused listening to study music. If that's the case for have a study music list to save time
Don't study for hours without stopping.

The most basic example with two fixed panes vertically arranged. By default each ReflexElement
will be equally arranged within its ReflexContainer. To specify a custom arrangement, you can use flex={number in [0.0, 1.0]}
property.
Basic example with two resizable panes vertically arranged: placing a ReflexSplitter
draggable component between two ReflexElements will allow those elements to be manually resized by user.
Example with two splitters propagating the drag: this is where Re-Flex really makes the difference between any other
layout library you can find out there.
Setting the propagate={true}
property on the ReflexSplitter components will propagate the drag all the way from right to left or
left to right (respectively up and down for an horizontal layout) depending on user interaction. In that demo minSize
and maxSize properties are also specified on the middle pane, Re-Flex will respect those attributes when dragging
and propagating the offset applied by user.
Example with three splitters propagating the drag, same as example above but one more splitter just for fun ...
A more advanced example with multi-nested resizable layouts using events: while dragging a splitter
the affected panes will get a different background color, illustrating how you can use Re-Flex events to
perform some additional custom logic.
Try the sample below and judge the power of Re-Flex ...
A more verbose example that illustrates how to programmatically control the size of ReflexElements.
Clicking the (- / +) buttons in the control bar above each pane will respectively minimize or
maximize that pane into the allocated layout space.
Clicking the (=) button will lock the pane to its current size. Click the button again to unlock it.
This demo illustrates how to enable
ReflexElement children to be "
size-aware".
Under the hoods, Re-Flex is using
react-measure to inject a
dimensions property to its child elements.
To activate that feature, you need to use use
propagateDimensions={true} and also
renderOnResize={true}
in order to force the child elelement to re-render when its size has been modified.
This demo illustrates how to use onResize event on ReflexElement to create a persistent layout state:
Everytime a pane is being resized, we store the current layout state to the localStorage and restore it when the component gets created.
Reload the page to see the layout will appear in the same state as you left it.
This demo illustrates how to create collapsible panels with Re-Flex:
the side panels will collapse when their size becomes smaller than the defined threshold.
This demo illustrates how to use a ReflexHandle:
when inserted as child of a ReflexElement, a ReflexHandle allows user to resize
the element as if the splitter was manipulated. It needs to be inserted as child of an
element following a splitter.

Look at week in business
by The Canadian PressFive things to watch for in the Canadian business world in the coming week:
Organigram results
Cannabis company Organigram Holdings Inc. will release fourth-quarter earnings and hold a conference call with financial analysts to discuss the results. The company warned earlier this month that its fourth-quarter revenue would be lower than what it saw in its third quarter.
Couche-Tard results
Alimentation Couche-Tard releases second-quarter results on Tuesday after the close of markets. Analysts said in September that a growing move to ban flavoured e-cigarettes due to health concerns over vaping could actually benefit convenience stores, as smokers would migrate to combustible cigarettes that represent a larger portion of convenience store sales.
Bank earnings kickoff
Scotiabank will be the first of the big Canadian banks to report fourth-quarter results on Tuesday. Top executives of Canada's biggest banks spoke in September of slower growth ahead amid looming trade tensions and lower U.S. interest rates.
Au revoir, Caisse
Michael Sabia, head of Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec, addresses the Montreal business community at a luncheon speech at the Palais des congress on Thursday. Sabia announced earlier this month that he is stepping down from the pension fund manager to become head of the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy at the University of Toronto.
GDP numbers
Statistics Canada will release gross domestic product figures for September and the third quarter on Friday. The agency previously reported that GDP grew 0.1 per cent in August, following no change in July, slightly below growth of 0.2 per cent for the month expected by economists.

Referenced by Sanders "Organising....tools and techniques of Participatory Design".
"The design research map is defined and described by two intersecting dimensions: One is defined by approach and the other is defined by mind-set. Approaches to design research have come from a research-led perspective (shown at the bottom of the map) and from a design-led perspective (shown at the top of the map)."
"Design researchers who have a participatory mind-set value people as co-creators in the design process."
"Participatory design attempts to involve those who will become the “users” throughout the design development process to the extent that this is possible. A key characteristic of the participatory design zone is the use of physical artifacts as thinking tools throughout the process, common among the methods emanating from the research-led Scandinavian tradition."
"The students located themselves primarily on the expert-driven side of the map, spanning research-led (the engineers were here) and design-led (the designers were here) approaches."
"Some of the new tools and methods for design research are listed below.
It is interesting to note that most of them are from the European design
research community. (See Figure 5.)
• design games
[11]
• design probes
[12]
• design
documentaries [13]
• visualization and
storytelling [14]
• playful triggers
[15]
• designing with
video [16]
• Mobile Diaries
[17]
• Situated Make
Tools [18] "
Includes a fantastic plot for orientation, which positions design research projects on two axes - depending on how expert vs. participatory the mindset, and how research vs. design the approach. This could really help to present the location of my work to supervisors.

| void | updateCurrentTabText () |
A class for managing multiple loaded identities in a tabbed interface.
TabManager
holds a list of IdentityTab
objects which are being displayed using a QTabWidget
. It provides methods for adding, removing and managing tabs/identities.
|
explicit |
Creates a new TabManager
object, storing a pointer to the tabWidget that will host the identity tabs.
| int TabManager::addTab | ( | IdentityModel & | identityModel, |
| QFileInfo | fileInfo, | ||
| bool | setActive = true |
||
| ) |
Adds a tab representing the visualization of identityModel to the QTabWidget
. Information about the identity file can be given via the fileInfo parameter, which can be an empty QFileInfo
object, if no file information is present (e.g. if the identity was imported from the clipboard). If setActive is true, the newly added tab will be activated, so that it is the currently selected tab.
| IdentityTab & TabManager::getCurrentTab | ( | ) |
Returns the currently active IdentityTab
object.
| int TabManager::getCurrentTabIndex | ( | ) |
Returns the index of the currently active IdentityTab
object.
| IdentityTab & TabManager::getTabAt | ( | int | index | ) |
Returns the IdentityTab
object stored at index in the list of tabs.
| bool TabManager::hasDirtyTabs | ( | ) |
Returns true
if the TabManager
instance currently hosts any dirty (changed but unsaved) IdentityTab
objects, or false
otherwise.
| bool TabManager::hasTabs | ( | ) |
Returns true
if the TabManager
instance currently hosts any IdentityTab
objects, or false
otherwise.
| bool TabManager::isCurrentTabDirty | ( | ) |
Returns true
if the currently active IdentityTab
object is dirty (changed but unsaved), or false
otherwise.
| void TabManager::rebuildAllTabs | ( | ) |
Rebuilds the visual representation of all tabs.
| void TabManager::setCurrentTabDirty | ( | bool | dirty | ) |
If dirty is true
, marks the currently active IdentityTab
object as dirty (changed but unsaved), or clean otherwise.
| void TabManager::setEnableUnauthenticatedChanges | ( | bool | enable, |
| bool | rebuild = true |
||
| ) |
Sets an internal flag that signals whether unauthenticated changes to the identity tabs should be enabled or disabled.
Any settings and values within a SQRL identitiy are being protected against unauthorized manipulation by applying the AES-GCM authenticated encryption. With this method, the plain text within an identity is included with the encryption of the identity keys as "additional data". Therefore, if any information within an identity changes, the decryption of the keys will fail.
"Unauthenticated changes" are changes to the identity which don't get cryptographically "reauthenticated". This means, any well behaving client will reject such "rogue" identities.
If enable is true
, unauthenticated changes are being enabled, if it is set to false
, they are being disabled.
If rebuild is set to true
, any change is immediately reflected within the visual representation of the identity. For example, if unauthenticated changes are being disabled and rebuild is true
, buttons for editing and moving identity blocks and items are removed from the GUI.
| void TabManager::updateCurrentTabText | ( | ) |
Updates the currently active tab's text and tooltip using information provided by the tab itself.
If file information is present for the current tab's identity, the file name and path will be used for setting the tab's text and tooltip. Otherwise, a name of "Untitled" will be used.
An asteriks ("*") will be shown as a suffix to the tab text if the tab is dirty (has unsaved changes).
It is advisable to call this method after an operation that either influences the "dirty state" of a tab, or the file information.


Magister Gauen:
Both Kaiena's men and our forces were exhausted from fighting each other.
At that moment, Beleth's well-known female minion appeared and took the documents.
Undoubtedly Beleth was as eager to possess those documents as Kaiena was.
He must have learned about them through our quarrel with Kaiena.
That is the truth, whatever others tell you.
Do not be deceived!

Deserted
- UPDATES V3:
Removed scroll zoom, scroll now changes tool.
Rifle, wall, turret, multitool (doesn't work)
Added ui framework rexui to get the pop in fade numbers.
Turret doesn't shoot yet.
All buidables have a certain amount of health.
Changing weapons changes how far you can reach out with your cursor.
- Originality:
This game will be a base defense game set on a fixed grid. You will be able to create different unique types of fortifications to defend against incoming enemies (undecided on what kind of enemy).
- Technical Merit:
Has many systems working together. This first prototype isn't as advanced as the later versions of the game will be. However, I have a strong foundation.
- Prototype Postmortem:
Weird bugs really slowed me down this time.
- Prototype Assets:
Did you make your prototype assets from scratch? Did you borrow them? Cite your sources here.

Defend against rounds of enemies by creating a secure base. ( BASE BUILDING IN NEXT ITERATION )
- Theme:
Isolation
- Mandated Variety:
Different style of game from the games I've made before.
- Prototype Goal:
Building / Tower Defense
- Player Experience Goals:
Come up with interesting strategies to protect their base from baddies.
- Gameplay:
The game will be a top-down 2d grid base defender game. The player will have to place walls and turrets to protect the center core of their base. The player will be able to move up, down, left, and right around the map. They may be able to shoot, but will have to do further testing to see how it works with the other mechanics.
- Strategies:
Not sure until more parts of the game are decided on.
- Story/Setting/Premise:
Game is abstract. However I would like to add music that changes when fighting and building to add tension.
- Target Audience:
13 and up
- Play Time:
Endless??
