Creating Operator-based broker deployments
Deploying a basic broker instance
The following procedure shows how to use a Custom Resource (CR) instance to create a basic broker deployment.
|
-
You must have already installed the ArtemisCloud Operator.
-
To use the Kubernetes command-line interface (CLI) to install the ActiveMQ Artemis Operator, see Installing the Operator.
-
When you have successfully installed the Operator, the Operator is running and listening for changes related to your CRs. This example procedure shows how to use a CR instance to deploy a basic broker in your project.
-
Start configuring a Custom Resource (CR) instance for the broker deployment.
-
Using the Kubernetes command-line interface:
-
Swith to the namespace you are using for your project
$ kubectl config set-context $(kubectl config current-context) --namespace= <project-name>
-
Open the sample CR file called
broker_activemqartemis_cr.yaml
that is included in thedeploy/crs
directory of the Operator installation archive that you downloaded and extracted. For a basic broker deployment, the configuration might resemble that shown below. This configuration is the default content of thebroker_activemqartemis_cr.yaml
sample CR.
-
apiVersion: broker.amq.io/v2alpha4 kind: ActiveMQArtemis metadata: name: ex-aao application: ex-aao-app spec: version: 7.7.0 deploymentPlan: size: 2 image: quay.io/artemiscloud/activemq-artemis-broker-kubernetes: ...
Observe that the sample CR uses a naming convention of
ex-aao
. This naming convention denotes that the CR is an example resource for the ArtemisCloud (based on the ActiveMQ Artemis project) Operator. When you deploy this sample CR, the resulting Stateful Set uses the nameex-aao-ss
. Furthermore, broker Pods in the deployment are directly based on the Stateful Set name, for example,ex-aao-ss-0
,ex-aao-ss-1
, and so on. The application name in the CR appears in the deployment as a label on the Stateful Set. You might use this label in a Pod selector, for example. -
-
The
size
value specifies the number of brokers to deploy. The default value of2
specifies a clustered broker deployment of two brokers. However, to deploy a single broker instance, change the value to1
. -
The
image
value specifies the container image to use to launch the broker. Ensure that this value specifies the latest version of the ActiveMQ Artemis broker container image in the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog, as shown below.image: quay.io/artemiscloud/activemq-artemis-broker-kubernetes:0.2.1
In the preceding step, the image
attribute specifies a floating image tag (that is,) rather than a full image tag (for example,
-5
). When you specify this floating tag, your deployment uses the latest image available in the image stream. In addition, when you specify a floating tag such as this, if theimagePullPolicy
attribute in your Stateful Set is set toAlways
, your deployment automatically pulls and uses new micro image versions (for example,-6
,-7
, and so on) when they become available from quay.io. -
Deploy the CR instance.
-
Save the CR file.
-
Switch to the namespace in which you are creating the broker deployment.
$ kubectl config set-context $(kubectl config current-context) --namespace= <project-name>
-
Create the CR.
$ kubectl create -f <path/to/custom-resource-instance>.yaml
-
-
In the Kubernetes web console you will see a new Stateful Set called
ex-aao-ss
.-
Click the ex-aao-ss Stateful Set. You see that there is one Pod, corresponding to the single broker that you defined in the CR.
-
Within the Stateful Set, click the pod link and you should see the status of th epod as running. Click on the logs link in the top right corner to see the broker’s output.
-
-
To test that the broker is running normally, access a shell on the broker Pod to send some test messages.
-
Using the Kubernetes web console:
-
Click Pods on the left menu
-
Click the ex-aao-ss Pod.
-
In the top righthand corner, click the link to exec into pod
-
-
Using the Kubernetes command-line interface:
-
Get the Pod names and internal IP addresses for your project.
$ kubectl get pods -o wide NAME STATUS IP amq-broker-operator-54d996c Running <IP_ADDRESS> ex-aao-ss-0 Running <IP_ADDRESS>
-
Access the shell for the broker Pod.
$ kubectl exec --stdin --tty ex-aao-ss-0 -- /bin/bash
-
-
-
From the shell, use the
artemis
command to send some test messages. Specify the internal IP address of the broker Pod in the URL. For example:sh-4.2$ ./amq-broker/bin/artemis producer --url tcp://<IP_ADDRESS>:61616 --destination queue://demoQueue
The preceding command automatically creates a queue called
demoQueue
on the broker and sends a default quantity of 1000 messages to the queue.You should see output that resembles the following:
Connection brokerURL = tcp://<IP_ADDRESS>:61616 Producer ActiveMQQueue[demoQueue], thread=0 Started to calculate elapsed time ... Producer ActiveMQQueue[demoQueue], thread=0 Produced: 1000 messages Producer ActiveMQQueue[demoQueue], thread=0 Elapsed time in second : 3 s Producer ActiveMQQueue[demoQueue], thread=0 Elapsed time in milli second : 3492 milli seconds
-
For a complete configuration reference for the main broker Custom Resource (CR), see Broker Custom Resource configuration reference.
Deploying clustered brokers
If there are two or more broker Pods running in your project, the Pods automatically form a broker cluster. A clustered configuration enables brokers to connect to each other and redistribute messages as needed, for load balancing.
The following procedure shows you how to deploy clustered brokers. By default, the brokers in this deployment use on demand load balancing, meaning that brokers will forward messages only to other brokers that have matching consumers.
-
A basic broker instance is already deployed. See Deploying a basic broker instance.
-
Open the CR file that you used for your basic broker deployment.
-
For a clustered deployment, ensure that the value of
deploymentPlan.size
is2
or greater. For example:apiVersion: broker.amq.io/v2alpha4 kind: ActiveMQArtemis metadata: name: ex-aao application: ex-aao-app spec: version: 7.7.0 deploymentPlan: size: 4 image: quay.io/artemiscloud/activemq-artemis-broker-kubernetes: ...
-
Save the modified CR file.
-
Switch to projects namespace:
$ kubectl config set-context $(kubectl config current-context) --namespace= <project-name>
-
At the command line, apply the change:
$ kubectl apply -f <path/to/custom-resource-instance>.yaml
In the Kubernetes web console, additional broker Pods starts in your project, according to the number specified in your CR. By default, the brokers running in the project are clustered.
-
Open the Logs tab of each Pod. The logs show that Kubernetes has established a cluster connection bridge on each broker. Specifically, the log output includes a line like the following:
targetConnector=ServerLocatorImpl (identity=(Cluster-connection-bridge::ClusterConnectionBridge@6f13fb88
Applying Custom Resource changes to running broker deployments
The following are some important things to note about applying Custom Resource (CR) changes to running broker deployments:
-
You cannot dynamically update the
persistenceEnabled
attribute in your CR. To change this attribute, scale your cluster down to zero brokers. Delete the existing CR. Then, recreate and redeploy the CR with your changes, also specifying a deployment size. -
The value of the
deploymentPlan.size
attribute in your CR overrides any change you make to size of your broker deployment via thekubectl scale
command. For example, suppose you usekubectl scale
to change the size of a deployment from three brokers to two, but the value ofdeploymentPlan.size
in your CR is still3
. In this case, Kubernetes initially scales the deployment down to two brokers. However, when the scaledown operation is complete, the Operator restores the deployment to three brokers, as specified in the CR. -
As described in Deploying the Operator using the CLI, if you create a broker deployment with persistent storage (that is, by setting
persistenceEnabled=true
in your CR), you might need to provision Persistent Volumes (PVs) for the ArtemisCloud Operator to claim for your broker Pods. If you scale down the size of your broker deployment, the Operator releases any PVs that it previously claimed for the broker Pods that are now shut down. However, if you remove your broker deployment by deleting your CR, ArtemisCloud Operator does not release Persistent Volume Claims (PVCs) for any broker Pods that are still in the deployment when you remove it. In addition, these unreleased PVs are unavailable to any new deployment. In this case, you need to manually release the volumes. For more information, see Releasing volumes in the Kubernetes documentation. -
During an active scaling event, any further changes that you apply are queued by the Operator and executed only when scaling is complete. For example, suppose that you scale the size of your deployment down from four brokers to one. Then, while scaledown is taking place, you also change the values of the broker administrator user name and password. In this case, the Operator queues the user name and password changes until the deployment is running with one active broker.
-
All CR changes – apart from changing the size of your deployment, or changing the value of the
expose
attribute for acceptors, connectors, or the console – cause existing brokers to be restarted. If you have multiple brokers in your deployment, only one broker restarts at a time.


Zelensky meeting with Macron, Merkel in Paris
The Ukrainian president is expected to meet with his Russian counterpart later today.
A meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and German Chancellor Angela Merkel has started in Paris as part of a Normandy summit.
Prior to that, Zelensky met with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, the Office of the President of Ukraine said on Telegram.
Macron, as the leader of the host country, briefed Zelensky on the agenda and format of the negotiations.
The Ukrainian president is expected to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin later today.
It will be followed by a meeting of the four leaders. A press conference is planned on the results of the Normandy negotiations.
As was reported, Paris on Monday is hosting a Normandy meeting to settle the situation in Donbas, eastern Ukraine. For the first time in three years, the leaders of Ukraine, Germany, France, and Russia are meeting at the negotiating table to facilitate the implementation of the Minsk peace agreements on Donbas.

engine.js
is vital to DWR since it is used to marshal calls from the dynamically generated interface JavaScript function, so it is needed wherever DWR is used.
All engine.js functions have the dwr.engine
prefix.
The engine.js file
All DWR pages need the following script element to import the main DWR engine.
<script type='text/javascript' src='/[YOUR-WEB-APP]/dwr/engine.js'> </script>
These options may be set globally using a dwr.engine.setX() function. For example:
dwr.engine.setTimeout(1000);
Or at a call level (Assume Remote is exported by DWR):
Remote.singleMethod(params, { callback:function(data) { ... }, timeout:2000 });
Remote calls can be batched together to reduce latency. Options can also be set on the endBatch()
method:
dwr.engine.beginBatch(); Remote.methodInBatch1(params, callback1); Remote.methodInBatch2(params, callback2); dwr.engine.endBatch({ timeout:3000 });
It is possible to mix these styles, in which case call or batch level settings override global settings (as you would expect). When if you set an option several times in a batch, the last setting is taken. So if the Remote.singleMethod()
example above was included in the batch, a timeout of 3000ms would be used for the batch.
2 of the options, callback and exceptionHandler, are always specific to a call and not to a batch.
2 of the options, preHook and postHook, are additive, that is you can have multiple hooks per call. The global preHook is called before the batch and call preHooks. The global postHook is called after the call and batch postHooks.
If all of this sounds confusing then don't worry. DWR is designed to do what you expect, so it should not be complex.
The following options are available.
| Option | Global | Batch | Call | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| async | 1.1 | 1.1 | 1.1 | Set to false for asynchronous behaviour (not recommended) |
| headers | 2.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 | Extra headers to add to XHR calls. |
| parameters | 2.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 | Meta-data that is made available through request.getParameter() |
| timeout | 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.1 | Cancel request after X ms |
| Handlers | ||||
| errorHandler | 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.1 | Action when something is broken. In 1.x this included server-side exceptions. From 2.0, server side exceptions use 'exceptionHandler' |
| warningHandler | 1.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 | Action when something breaks which can be triggered by browser bugs, so by default this is set to null (turned off) |
| textHtmlHandler | 2.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 | Action when an unexpected text/html page is received (usually indicates session timeout) |
| Call Handlers (Registered for individual calls not all calls in a batch) | ||||
| callback | - | - | 1.0 | Executed on successful call completion with a single parameter; the returned data. |
| callbackHandler | - | - | 3.0 | Synonymous with callback to match exceptionHandler. |
| exceptionHandler | - | - | 2.0 | Executed when a remote call fails either due to a server exception or a data marshalling problem. |
| arg | - | - | 3.0 | A default argument to pass to the callbackHandler and exceptionHandler. |
| callbackArg  | - | - | 3.0 | An argument to pass to the callbackHandler. If specified overrides arg. |
| exceptionArg | - | - | 3.0 | An argument to pass to the exceptionHandler. If specified overrides arg. |
| scope | - | - | 3.0 | The scope in which the callbackHandler and exceptionHandler will be executed. Default is window. |
| callbackScope  | - | - | 3.0 | The scope in which the callbackHandler will be executed. If specified overrides scope. |
| exceptionScope | - | - | 3.0 | The scope in which the exceptionHandler will be executed. If specified overrides scope. |
| Hooks (Multiple hooks can be registered per batch) | ||||
| preHook | 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.1 | Function called just before the remote call |
| postHook | 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.1 | Function called just after the remote call |
| Global Options (Not available at a call or batch level) | ||||
| ordered | 1.0 | - | - | Should DWR provide ordering guarantees |
| activeReverseAjax | 2.0 | - | - | Should we be looking for inbound calls |
| Deprecated Options | ||||
| httpMethod | 2.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 | Selects use of GET or POST. Called 'verb' in 1.x, likely to be removed in version 3.0 |
| rpcType | 2.0 | 2.0 | 2.0 | Selects between xhr, iframe or script-tag remoting. Called 'method' in 1.x, likely to be removed in version 3.0 |
| pollType | 2.0 | - | - | Selects between xhr and iframe for Reverse Ajax |
| verb | 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.1 | Deprecated in 2.0. Use 'httpMethod' instead |
| method | 1.0 | 1.1 | 1.1 | Deprecated in 2.0. Use 'rpcType' instead |
DWR aims to be able to tell you exactly what happened to all calls. Given the existence of browser bugs this can be tricky in places.
If you set a callback, exceptionHandler, errorHandler, warningHandler and textHtmlHandler then DWR should always give you a response for each request.

The identifiers James Isaac Nyamweya have been used to differentiate me since birth.I had no say whatsover in their choosing.However they make a pathetic attempt at describing the symbiotic collection of cells that I am.The question then is,who am I?
I am :a Human being,an African,a Kenyan,a pacifist,an embracer of technology,a programmer.
I like sofware development.There's a euphoria in watching your creation come to life .I hope this site will be a fair representation of who I am.
A dreamer;I have no regrets being born in this era.The possibilities of us starting a colony on Mars or building Jurassic Park have never been more real.Exciting times are these.This millenium generation could so easily become the immortal generation then isn't it our right to go and tame the universe then.
In general, I hope to contribute to a world where we value skills and relationships over careers and money, where we know better than to trust the system, and where we're passionate about building and creating things in a self-motivated and self-directed way.


Rugby: Rennie won't make excuses for rebuilding Wallabies
MELBOURNE: Newly appointed Wallabies coach Dave Rennie knows he will be expected to deliver instant success to win over sceptical fans and says he will not reach for the "rebuilding" excuse if results do not go as planned.
The New Zealander was handed the reins on a three-and-a-half year deal on Wednesday (Nov 20) and will take over a Wallabies team in transition after their quarter-final exit from the Rugby World Cup Japan.
"The Australian public expects the results and they'll probably expect it immediately," Rennie, who starts the job next July, told local media on Thursday.
"I don't want to give the players any excuses that we're building and all that sort of stuff so the expectation is that we're going to work really hard, we're going out to win footy.
"I just feel if you use excuses, you're giving players an out to maybe under-perform, so I guess like the Aussie public, we'll all be thinking the same thing, we'll be desperate to perform well and keep building on that."
Australia's next internationals come in a two-match series against Ireland in July.
Rennie, who will finish up his coaching contract with Glasgow Warriors in June, will have little time to get acquainted with the Australian set-up but will have Director of Rugby Scott Johnson on the ground sizing up player prospects.
Rennie said he would look to focus more on domestic players in Super Rugby in building his Wallabies squad rather than look at others overseas.
“It's a big question isn't it, because the advantage of having guys playing Super Rugby means that we've got access to them, we've got influence," he said.
"And obviously picking players from overseas, maybe it works alright in a World Cup year but it's difficult to have influence.
"Best case scenario is that we're going to try and develop guys within Australia and promote them and try and build experience that way."

"If thou dislik'st the piece thou light'st on first,

MY DOG SKIP (director: Jay Russell; screenwriters: Willie Morris (book)/Gail Gilchriest; cinematographer: James L. Carter; editor: Harvey Rosenstock/Gary Winter; cast: Frankie Muniz (Willie Morris), Diane Lane (Ellen Morris), Luke Wilson (Dink Jenkins), Kevin Bacon (Jack Morris), Caitlin Wachs (Rivers Applewhite), Bradley Coryell (Big Boy Wilkinson), Daylan Honeycutt (Henjie Henick), Cody Linley (Spit McGee), Harry Connick Jr. (Narrator); Runtime: 95; Warner Brothers; 2000)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
An affectionate and tender family film about a shy boy who gets an exuberant Jack Russell Terrier puppy for his birthday and it changes his life for the better. It's a decidedly corny and manipulative coming-of-age film that never quite grabbed my attention, but it was sure pleasant enough in a surface way, telling an old-fashioned story that carefully skirts any controversy. This memoir of Willie Morris's childhood in the segregatated small town of Yazoo City, Mississippi, is set during the years of WW11, with the film beginning in the summer of 1942.
It is a human experience drama about childhood innocence that touches on many little things the author reminisces about without him saying much about them, except showing how he still remembers his pet with the greatest fondness after all these years and speaks of his small-town as an ideal place for a child to grow up in. Willie Morris survived his bookish childhood to win a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University and became the youngest editor of Harper's magazine and a distinguished award-winning writer. He gives a lot of credit to his dog Skip for surviving those awkward and lonely childhood years when three schoolboy bullies picked on him unmercifully, as his dog became his best and most steadfast friend, opening his eyes to things he couldn't see by himself.
Harry Connick Jr. does the voiceover in his scratchy voice, exuding in nostalgia for a period of time when life was slower than it is today. When kids freely played among themselves and the streets were relatively safe places.
Willie Morris (Muniz) is a geeky kid who is small for his age and is overprotected by his embittered and standoffish father (Bacon), who lost a leg during the Spanish Civil War and has lost a piece of his heart along with that wound, and is only able to offer tough love. He says he took a job as an accountant so he would be sitting at work and people wouldn't notice that he walks with a limp.
The coming-of-age messages in this film are presented in a low-key manner, as they reflect on a number of things seen through the childish eyes of Willie, such as the pains of war, the disappointments of hero worship, the importance of friendship and loyalty, the thrill of puppy love, the necessity for community pride, the need for parental love and racial tolerance, and his overall fond memories of childhood.
Willie is upset to learn that his next-door neighbor and his only friend - star athlete and pride of the town Dink Jenkins (Luke Wilson) - is leaving to fight in the European war as a private in the U.S. Army.
Skip helps the befuddled Willie forget about his loneliness by his uncondiotional love. He also helps him make friends and to see things in his color blind way, as the dog ambles all over town, including the colored section where Willie never went before. Just about everyone in town gets to know him through the dog. He will meet the prettiest girl in school, River Applewhite (Caitlin Wachs), who takes a liking to Skip and therefore starts a friendship with him, and even the bullies will stop bothering him after they come into contact with Skip.
When Dink returns to town - not as a war hero, but as a drunk and is rumored to be a coward, he is shunned by everybody in town.
There is also an ill-advised episode that seemed contrived, with the town meanies, a couple of moonshiners, who Willie and Skip come across in a cemetery and are threatened by them to not squeal about their hiding place where they keep their booze in a crypt. Skip while running away from Willie, accidently manages to get locked in the crypt and is nearly killed by them for busting up all their liquor bottles. All of Willie's new friends ride around town in their bikes looking for Skip and find him in critical condition. In a formulaic scene using every ounce of its energy to tear at the viewer's heart, Skip wakes up after a life-saving operation, as an immense relief comes over the face of Willie.
The film should be enjoyed by children of all ages, as the dog steals the picture with his antics and spinning tricks and playful ways. Adults might be taken in by a sense of nostalgia, about seeing an idealized childhood they might have had or wished for.  For the film to be better received, it would have needed more drama. But, as it is, it is good enough as a plain old-fashioned story about the love affair between an introspective youngster and his loving dog.
Muniz made for an appealing youngster, Skip stole every scene he was in, and the understated and elegant performances by both Bacon and Lane, gave the film some life.

This is not a time based log because of the fact that I had no idea of what was going to happen when I smoked up the last of a 10$ sized bag (not sure what that is for those of you outside of Canada, its about enough to pack 1 or two thumb sized bowls, and I packed one full bowl). At approximately 9 am I woke up, to find my father ranting about something or other, I didn’t bother to remember what it was, and instead decided to shower and smoke the remainder of a bowl I had left over from the night before. I had a shower, and decided to just light it in the room with all the steam.
I lit it up while still feeling slightly annoyed but also happy, in the sense of doing something I was not supposed to be doing. In retrospect I should have done this in a calmer state of mind, and I also wish I had kept a tape player or other recorder going, because I still have a nagging feeling that I had some revelations or insights into more problems while I was high. I hyperventilated first, so that I would have more oxygen to hold the smoke in longer. I found out later by experimenting a bit that hyperventilating between hits made the effects much stronger.
After smoking the remaining pot in the bowl, I went out to get changed because I had an appointment to make, as I was getting changed I noticed that things were starting to feel weird, my mouth felt like a sock, and I had to work quickly to get the gum I was chewing out of my mouth, because I suddenly started to feel like I was going to choke on it.
Then my arms and legs started to feel weird, the feeling spread from the tips of my limbs inwards, with a delay between most of my body feeling strange and the parts of my face/mouth starting to feel strange. This continued until it felt like I was only watching a movie, but I could still feel things touch me, so it was a very bizarre experience to do up buttons and get dressed.
As I was heading downstairs to leave for my appointment, sound started to get weird, as though I was hearing through a pair of earphones instead of being there. At this point my thoughts started to become less “thoughtlike” and instead became more of a conversation between two people, both “me's'.
Somewhat like the difference between typing a message to someone instead of talking directly too them, a lot of the nuances are blotted out, no feelings or sentiments expressed, just words, and I could visualise the words easily, they were a warm color, with a dark background. I also found that I could accept and visualize any idea easily, this was frightening because I felt unrestrained by morals and or conscience, but this feeling of no restraint made me question anything I thought of doing much more carefully, to insure that I didn’t do anything that I wouldn’t want to.
At this point I started to get a bit scared, as the effects were beginning to get stronger. If any part of my body wasn’t directly in my line of sight, it was doing its own thing, as though I was just a spectator.
I made it into the car, without my dad noticing anything wrong, and we started to drive to the appointment. The car’s movement made the detachment even stronger, the only way I could still keep any control was by staring down at myself. then I had to talk with a person at the appointment, there was like a time lag in the talking, because I (and me) had to decide what to say, agree on it, and then figure out how to say it. I got home, and noticed the effects starting to fade, this was a great relief, because at the peak, sound was distorted, and everything was confusing and strange.
as they faded they did not do so in a steady curve, instead it came in waves, starting to reattach to my body, and then detaching partially again.
After most of the effects had subsided I felt very relaxed, and unworried, this may be what some describe as a body buzz, feeling warm and comfortable without the need to do anything in particular. Since that I have smoked weed, usually taking a week or two in between times, and I haven’t had any experience as scary, mostly because I know it will end, and I cannot stress enough how important it is to do your research first, had I read some of the available reports, I would have been able to relax much more easily, and would have enjoyed it more. so overall, the pros outweighed the cons.
Pros:
I had an interesting experience, and for a week or so after was much less prone to frustration or anger when confronted with people being asinine.
Ironically my eyes were less red because I was very relaxed and unstressed for so long after, and the period of being unstressed allowed me to rethink several problems with a clear head, and I actually resolved several of them.
Cons:
During part of the experience I was somewhat scared, which would have been alleviated by doing my research before lighting up.
fluctuating heartbeat, I checked my heartbeat fairly often, using a watch and counting beats. It varied from my normal resting rate of 62 bpm, up to 120ish which is similar to me running with a heavy pack on. This could be a concern for anyone with heart issues, as it fluctuated quite rapidly.
This could have been an effect of adrenaline flow, because of my reaction to the sensation of losing control of my body. This too could have been alleviated by doing my research beforehand, again because I have not had the sharp spikes and changes in heartbeat now that I have a better idea of what to expect.
I hope to have a report again soon, as I am going to try and replicate whatever was causing the rapid heart fluctuations. and also what stimuli can cause what effects.
Previous substance experience:
I have never used any other intoxicants aside from the occasional drink of rum, and I rarely even drink coffee.
I use no over the counter or prescription drugs, and in the last 8 years I have only had any once, that was after having an hour-long operation to repair an injury.
I had some form of general anaesthetic then, and I had 2 tablets of 30/300 codeine/acetaminophen when I got home.
I then consumed 3 more the next morning, and that was it.
This was about 6 weeks before the experience I am writing about here.
other then this I have had local anaesthetic twice, once for repairing a broken tooth, and once for stitches to a cut.
I exercise hard nearly every day mostly endurance activities such as hiking, running, and biking. This may have had some effect on the experience, although I am not sure how.
Experience Reports are the writings and opinions of the individual authors who submit them.
Some of the activities described are dangerous and/or illegal and none are recommended by Erowid.


Day in the life of a SWE
Junior developers are one of the biggest assets to any software company. After 5–10 years, these young men & women are the ones who decide where the company is heading in the future. Therefore, turning them into great individual contributors is a win-win for both those developers and the company.
A day in the life of a junior engineer consists of about 90% of coding and 10% meetings. As of recently, the role requires you to work from home. Junior software developers are placed in various teams that work on specific projects in the company. A junior developer at Facebook could work in Infrastructure Systems, Data Center Engineering and Developer Tools. It is important for junior software developers to be engaged during meetings and communicate problems they may have with their code. Due to the fact that managers may have a higher expectation from new developers, junior software engineers are encouraged to learn as much languages and algorithms to further their career.
Salary
As a beginner junior software engineer the starting salary estimate is between $76,267 to $79, 698, however this is the estimated quote for those who work in Seattle, Washington. This estimate can be averaged to about 30 to 33 dollars per hour, as the tech boom in Seattle has brought a pay increase compared to many other states, where the average salary is lower than expected. In contrast, the national average salary for a junior software engineer around the US is currently estimated at around 63,000 , in which cases it can potentially be higher or lower depending on the state.
Pathway
The pathway to becoming a junior software engineer is interesting in the beginning compared to many. As a beginner you start off with a single choice; your willingness to leanr. Junior software engineers go through a process called the ‘technical interview’ that consists of algorithm questions. Companies assess you on the solutions you give to solve these questions. In this career, the more you strive to understand the better it is to get promoted. After this role you could land a position from junior developers to software engineers, then senior software engineer. Succeeding in this occupation, software engineer's are then offered two occupational branch options to continue with, which are technical architect and lead developers. Finally depending on the preceding branch occupation chosen, the transition happens into becoming a development team lead or a software development manager.

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME (director: Vincent Ward; screenwriter: Ron Bass/based on the novel by Richard Matheson; cinematographer: Eduardo Serra; cast: Robin Williams (Chris Nielsen), Cuba Gooding Jr. (Albert), Annabella Sciorra (Annie Nielsen), Max von Sydow (the Tracker), Jessica Brooks Grant (Marie Nielsen), Josh Paddock (Ian Nielsen), Werner Herzog (Face in hell), 1998)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A metaphysical love fantasy film by the New Zealand director Vincent Ward (The Navigator/Map of the Human Heart). The most important question this film seems to ask, Is how could one take Robin Williams seriously? Answer: You can't! It's strictly a film overloaded with cornball and tripe scenes; a film that starts out with breathtaking visuals, with the possibility that we are moving into the special territory of the imagination, but it soon turns into a conventional Hollywood tearjerker. It does this without the benefit of good acting, a meaningful story, or pertinent dialogue- all that's diverting is some hokum about heaven and hell, plus some beautiful photography of paintings ranging from Caspar David Friedrich to Renoir to Salvador Dali. The film, to its most assured benefit, was magnificently shot in the splendor of Montana's Glacial Forest, giving it a tremendous visual appeal.
It was shot from a religious non-denominational basis, but does a disservice to all religions by being inaccurate about what it sells for religious belief. It explores no deep metaphysical themes, develops no characters, asks no real hard questions, it only seems to be made for materialists, those who are so enamored by the 'New Age' of materialism, that this film holds out hope for them that they can live forever and reunite with their loved ones in heaven.
God's name comes up once. Robin Williams asks his guide Albert (Cuba Gooding) when he is dead: "Where is God?" Cuba answers: "He's up there somewhere." You can see for yourself how heavy the dialogue is. But, at least, it did clear up where God was.
The mushy plot is about a perfect couple, Dr. Chris Nielsen (Robin) and Ann (Annabella). She's an artist and an art restorer, who works for a museum. They meet when their boats collide on a Swiss lake, and it was love at first sight for these soul mates. They are happily married with a boy and a girl, but tragedy hits when their kids die in an auto crash. She feels guilty that she wasn't driving and has a breakdown, even seeing a "shrink." But, through Chris' total devotion to her, she has fully recovered.
Four years later Chris is on a rainy highway when a car crashes into the pediatrician while he is trying to help some others in a car crash. His wife is despondent that she lost all her loved ones in auto accidents, so she commits suicide.
What the film tries to do is imagine the unknown. When Chris first arrives in heaven, he finds himself inside one of Annie's romantic paintings. After making his way in a gorgeous flower bed, he finds himself covered with paint, as though he had landed on a piece of art that still hadn't dried. Cuba Gooding is his angel guide. He gives us the real deal as to what is going on in heaven, like telling us "Thought is Real." "The Physical is the Illusion." He also lets us know, that Heaven, means becoming who you want to be. I could have done without his expertise in these matters. I could have also done without him in the film; he was about as miscast as Robin Williams was.
 The Tracker (Max von Sydow) tells us, "Hell is for those who don't know they're dead.'' To get there and take Annie back with him to heaven, Chris enlists the Tracker's help. Hell is seen as an eternal sea of doomed human heads, twisted metal objects, and gloomy brownish colors.
The chatter about the afterworld is nonsensical psychological babble. The story is played with such misplaced conviction, that this emotionless story was not only devoid of reason and intellectual acuity, but was an embarrassment in every other possible way. For a film that was so stylishly lush to look at, it had little else to offer. I sort of liked Ann's line when in hell: "Sometimes you lose when you win." I think you'll probably lose when you see this clinker.  There was just nothing real about this film, or anything to learn from it, or anything I felt about it, except irritated.

Michael Wimsatt's GitHub blog
Since early January, I’ve been taking an online course at Coursera called Computational Methods for Data Analysis. This is my first experience with full-length online coursework (unless you count watching VHS tapes of lectures for an ill-conceived distance attempt at a masters in engineering).
So far, I’d say its been a good experience. Of course, it’s a good value, but I think I am gaining worthwhile knowledge. The course covers time-frequency analysis (FFT, wavelet, etc.) and dimensionally reduction techniques (SVD, PCA, etc.) with practical examples from image processing, communications and physics.
The course is heavily MATLAB-based. I started out following along with GNU Octave, but decided around week 3 to attempt to do it all with Python’s math and science libraries (NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib). So, I have a running iPython notebook replicating the readings’ MATLAB examples in Python. I’ll probably attempt to publish it here or somewhere once the class is finished in March.
I learned a long time ago that I prefer to learn by reading and use lectures in a targeted way to clarify something I might not be getting. Coursera’s setup for this is actually quite good. The built-in video player has features to speed up playback, and lectures are broken in to 10-15 minute segments to easily jump to the info you seek.
My intention was to take a refresher course in linear algebra before I started this one, but I didn’t get it done. I think it definitely would have been helpful, but not necessary in my case. I think someone with no linear algebra would be a bit lost, but even my 20–year–old memories of matrix math seem to be serving here – so far.
In a past life I was actually a somewhat heavy MATLAB user for digital signal processing applications, so it’s nice to dust some of that thinking off (in a new language) and think about how I might use these tools on business data instead of digital wireless signals. Also, I’m becoming more and more enamored of iPython Notebook as I progress - to the point that I’ve searched writing all my Quantary posts with it.
I’m about halfway through the class, so I’ll come back with my final thoughts in six weeks or so, hopefully along with an impressive iPython notebook to show off what I did.

The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of the eye that senses light and sends that collected light to the brain for more processing(to see around). In the center of this nerve tissue is the macula. It provides the sharp, central vision needed for reading, driving and seeing fine detail. Serious eye diseases as well as systemic diseases manifest themselves in the retina.
Retinal disorders affect the normal functionality of the eye. They can affect someone vision, and some can be serious enough to cause blindness.
The emerging imaging modality Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT**), widely used in the field of biomedical imaging, helped to image the retinal microvasculature and blood flow and three dimensional images of living cone photoreceptors respectively. The photoreceptors are one of the key components of the retinal images, which act as an indicator to detect or monitor retinal diseases. A review is in Retinal Imaging and Image Analysis.
**OCT is used to gain informations about the light scattering properties of a sample by
illuminating it with some short laser pulse and measuring the backscattered light.
For more precise measurements, the backscattered light is first superimposed with the original laser pulse( called reference) and then the intensity of this interference pattern(coherence of these two light beams) is measured through a photon detector /spectrometer. Many variants of the OCT have been considered accordingly to the nature and collected measurements.
For instance, without loss of generality, the Spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) images form a cross-sectional volumetric
images of the tissues which can be used for analysis of tissue structure and properties of the retina.
The resolution which can be defined as the capability of distinguishing between two separate but adjacent layers
suffer from the formation of irregular granular pattern due to the underlying physics and the computational process to reconstruct the images from the detected forward /backward measurements(intensity peaks).
As the resolution of an image is how small details of the actual sample can be resolved or detected. The
number of pixels(sampling frequency) in an image determines the limit of spatial resolution. One striking fact in SD-OCT is a high sampling frequency does not necessarily foster high image resolution. The sample usually contains layers with different refractive indices and only under perfect conditions the photo detector may be able to detect accurately the interference associated to those
refractive indices(tissue layers). Instability during image acquisition/reconstruction can grossly affect image quality.
The instrument sensitivity, the optics of the microscope, the wavelength of light source and the photon detector, also influence the tissue layers resolution.
The reconstructed image has a color space content not enough to reconstruct fully the sample. This suddenly discontinued color content presents a real challenge to properly interpret the reconstructed image. Therefore, the first step in SD-OCT image processing needs an assessment of the color space content characteristics, i.e. automatically quantify the most informative and relevant features contained in the collected lights. This assessment may help to address the following concerns to adjust the instrument toward efficient sensitivity and resolution:
How much of the noise and artifact in the reconstructed image can be avoided by reviewing the image acquisition/reconstruction?
How much can the image quality be improved by further image processing software to highlight actual micro-structures(layers) in the reconstructed image?
In this essay, we are mainly motivated to test and assess the utility of our recent developed software Fluorescence Imaging Analysis Using Deep Discrepancy Learning Process to automatically quantify the most informative and relevant features contained in the primary image generated by Retinal Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging.
We consider our recent developed software as a practical way of looking at third order texture. The framework is based on the
mathematical formulation of L2 discrepancy that measures the pixel-colors presence in all multiresolution-subrectangles defining the color-space, i.e. captured lights in the image and is providing an indication, without loss of spatial information, related to how the pixel-colors are globally scattered in the color-space. The L2 discrepancy value captures the global degree of discrepancies in color-space and enables the formulation of a Deep Discrepancy Learning Process.
This Deep Discrepancy Learning Process (DDLP) is scalable and makes use of the totality or partially the provided channels in the primary image and is simple to numerically implement without assuming any parametric form in the primary image data contents. The results showed that it captured the reflected pattern in the image with more insights about the colors spatial distribution where the pixel colors are either clumped or scarce, see Section "Numerical Illustrations".
The DDLP defines image information content as a set of descriptors/covariantes of the primary image color-space structures.
Many levels of descriptors are provided:
Pixel-level descriptors, the colors spatial distribution where the pixel colors are either clumped or scarce.
Hence creating one histogram for multi-variable data, i.e. a plot to discover, and show, the underlying frequency distribution of a set of continuous data (RGB colors). We refer to these Pixel-level descriptors as Sensitivity Descriptors.
Global level parameters outlining the entire light scattering proprieties in the primary image color-space structures.
These descriptors are used to assess the sensitivity/resolution and image quality and can be used to discern the difference between a number of given primary images(different image acquisition/reconstruction processes).
Numerical Illustrations
The L2 DDLP provides the Sensitivity Descriptors for the red color, green color and blue color in the image color space content as:
Univariate distribution, called Rd.
Univariate distribution, called Gd.
Univariate distribution, called Gb.
Bivariate distribution representing both the X-color and Y-color, called XYd.
three-variate distribution representing the RGB-colors, called RGBd.
The Discrepancy Image has the color-space defined by combining these Sensitivity Descriptors. The L2 DDLP generates all possible combinations to form all Discrepancy Images. The colors and texture in the Discrepancy Image provide insights about the
distribution of specific colors(via their associated Sensitivity Descriptors ) around specific regions of interest (ROI) in the primary image.
The results show that the discrepancy images captured the reflected pattern in the image data and provides a set of segments that collectively cover the entire image. Each of the pixels in a region are similar with respect to some characteristic in the image data and show some discrepancies to other pixels, i.e. able to define adjacent regions. This discrepancy framework provides a quantitative segmentation of the primary image and highlights where the pixel colors are uniform, clumped or scarce and also gives quantitative indication about the co-occurrence of two specific colors in RGB color space content.
All the images used in this essay were selected from Internet. Nevertheless, our illustration can be conducted on the original high resolution images in the same manner and to enable the L2 DDLP to capture more refined information. Handling 3D data is also straightforward as this L2 DDLP was originally formulated to handle multi-dimensional datasets(this high-content OCT imaging, for instance).

NRL Player Tyrone May Pleads Guilty To Recording A Sex Tape Without Consent
by By David AdamsCONTENT WARNING: This article discusses image-based abuse.
NRL player Tyrone May has pleaded guilty to four criminal charges, including filming a sex tape without the other person’s consent.
May was last year charged with eight counts of capturing and disseminating intimate footage of two women in separate incidents in Coffs Harbour and Kingswood.
Nine News reports the Penrith Panthers player, 23, today agreed to a plea deal in which prosecutors dropped four charges, including the charges relating to sharing the videos.
The victims were reportedly notified of the footage by friends and family members after it was shared on social media.
The Herald Sun reports neither woman was aware they were being filmed, and neither consented to the material being shared online.
May was one of the first NRL players sidelined as a result of the league’s new no-fault stand down rules, which prevent athletes from competing after being charged with a criminal matter.
He did not play a match during the 2019 season, but maintained his training regimen with the side.
The offence of recording without consent carries a maximum three-year jail term.
He will face sentencing on January 31.
Recording, sharing, or threatening to share an intimate image without consent is a criminal offence across much of Australia.
If you’d like to report image based abuse to police or get help removing an intimate image from social media, reach out to the Australian eSafety Commissioner here.
If you’d like to speak to someone about image based abuse, please call the 1800 Respect hotline on 1800 737 732 or chat online .

The protein inference graphs makes it easier to understand the complexity of protein inference and evaluate the evidence for the individual proteins.
There are three main versions of the protein inference graphs:
Lines: A line between a peptide and a protein is drawn if the sequence of the given peptide can be found in the
protein. A fully drawn line means that the peptide sequence is enzymatic in the protein, i.e., adhering to the cleavage rules of the
enzyme used, while a dotted line represents a non-enzymatic peptide sequence.
Selection: By default the protein(s) if the currently selected group and its corresponding
peptides are selected. Click a peptide or protein to select it and its nearest neighbors. To only show unique neighbors
select the "Unique Only" option at the bottom. To visually indicate the selected peptides and proteins select the
"Highlight" option. A list of all the currently selected peptides and proteins is shown by clicking the peptide and
protein counts in the upper right corner.
To select more than one peptide or protein, or to deselect a peptide or protein,
hold down the "Shift" key when clicking the wanted peptide or protein. Clicking in an empty area of the graph will remove all
selections, while "Ctrl+A" can be used to select all peptides and proteins.
The currently selected peptides and proteins can be listed by clicking the links in the upper right corner.
Layout: Click and hold to move the currently selected peptides and proteins. The layout can always be reset by clicking the
"Layout" option in the upper left corner.
Export: The protein inference graph can be exported to an image file via the "Export" option at the top.

Joining #Masks4All against Coronavirus
I am a avid viewer of Lex Fridman’s podcasts and other misc. content, particularly his Youtube videos. I recently watched one of his videos on “Face Masks for All” & DIY Masks, seen here.
In it, he discusses what you need to know about face masks and its impact on it and the spread of COVID19 (2019 Coronavirus)
The DIY mask portion is on minute 5:18 of the video.
From this video, I too wanted to take action to inform individuals the impact on face masks and how to protect yourself from both the viral pandemic and misinformation pandemic.
Misinformation being spread by the @WHO about masks 😷
— Sam Feldman (@sam_feldman_) March 23, 2020
“There is no evidence they protect people who are not sick.”
Yet seconds later, they advise wearing a mask if you’re near someone with coronavirus. So they clearly do protect people who aren’t sick.https://t.co/qE3qmaBdtt
Moreover, I wanted to provide another alternative to save masks for healthcare workers that would need disposable (N95 or surgical) masks, when they come in supply again.
How to control the spread of the COVID19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic
Overall, from what Lex echoed from the reseach is that we need to:
- Test
- Trace
- Quarantine infected
- #Masks4All
How does the virus spread?
At a high level, there are 3 ways this virus can spread:
- Contact
- Droplet
- Airborne
Bulletins 1 & 2 are focused cases to be aware of, but bulletin 3 too can be of a matter, unless you are within some distance amount of covid19-positive individuals (now you get why the 6ft mandate matters)
Now that individuals are social distancing, how else can we stop the spread of COVID19 through “Droplets” not being able to reach onto your face, mouth, etc?
Masks.
How do we know #Masks4All work?
In one of Jeremy Howard’s summary of research articles, we observe the coronavirus cases cumulative # of cases over time:
Notice the significant difference between the cumulative curves with “shapes” of growth in cases of the virus climbing to higher numbers and the “shaps” of growth in cases not climbing so much.
What are some of the factors that make this difference?
There can be cultural differences of hygenie, logistic deployment of resources, government action (i.e. reaction), or…cultural differences in how to react being sick?
In Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, we notice that maybe…maybe masks work? Who’s to know? Well, luckily there is academic research proving the degree of effect on masks to protect society, and yourself.
In the articles and videos, we hear about the Czech Republic or Tawain are examples of having low growth in counts of the COVID19. More can be found there an other resources, at the end of this article.
But I leave you with a question–What will you do?

Notes
- Watch out for 100% cotton shirts, as they have a effectiveness of 50%, compared to cotton blend (effect 70%), seen below and in this video
-
When cleaning the mask, either put it in extreme heat for or clean it
-
Do not re-use the mask, as the particles can stay on there
-
Some other things to consider:
Also, Stay Home, please. <3

Love Stinks A film review by Marty Mapes Copyright 1999 Marty Mapes
**1/2 (out of 4) LOVE STINKS is the Antichrist of romantic comedies. It's a "guy" movie, but it follows some of the rules of chick flicks. What it does with them, though, is push them through a bitter, black filter. The result is either an incomprehensible mess, or revenge for FIRST WIVES' CLUB, depending on your point of view.
I am ashamed to admit that I thought this movie was funny. Immediately after it was over, my wife said she thought it deserved the lowest rating possible, and I overheard another woman on the phone tell a friend that it was "not very good." On the other hand, several men in the theater hooted at all the right moments, and I found myself laughing along with them.
Why be ashamed to laugh at a comedy? Why do men and women react differently? Because the "villain" (Chelsea, played by Bridgette Wilson) is the embodiment of a stereotype: a matrimony-obsessed, man-trapping woman. I feel guilty because I'm a sensitive man who should be above such an immature view of women. (But then I also like Beavis and Butt-Head, so I guess I'm not as sensitive or mature as I thought.)
 Think of Glenn Close in BASIC INSTINCT, but less psychotic and more comedic, and you'll start to get an idea of who she is. Admittedly, she's not a very well-rounded character. She's more a situation than a person.
Seth is a sitcom writer living in a bachelor-pad wasteland. He's not looking for a new girlfriend, but when he sees Chelsea, he becomes infatuated. He dumps his current girlfriend to go out with the new one.
Chelsea is a decorator and "professional bridesmaid," as she likes to say (they met at a friend's wedding). But as soon as she's in Seth's life, she gives it all up to be his personal decorator and stay-at-home girlfriend.
The movie follows their progress as a couple, through the tumultuous saying of "I love you" to talking about children. Through bickering and fighting to serious discussions about marriage. Through it all (and with the help of the narrator), you can see the subtle manipulative implementation of Chelsea's scheme to win Seth's hand.
Eventually, Seth decides he'd rather not be with Chelsea. But somehow, she manages to keep him living under the same roof. Pretty soon they are engaged - in an all-out War of the Roses. (God help me for saying it, but this movie actually has a funny fart joke.)
But in spite of my amusement, I will not recommend it. Some of the bigger problems are that Seth and Chelsea's friends (Tyra Banks, Bill Bellamy) are too similar and badly developed. They could have provided some sort of grounded contrast to the exaggerated love/hate. Instead, they are almost exact duplicates of the main couple. Also, some of the jokes are uninspired and cheap, like Seth's fascination with Elvis, or Chelsea's devotion to her cat. Worst of all is the utter two-dimensionality of most of the characters, including all of the women.
LOVE STINKS fills a niche that is so far pretty empty. It's an inverted chick-flick. It's a romantic comedy for cynical men. That probably makes it dumber and meaner than a lot of other movies. If you go, don't laugh. And if you laugh, don't say I sent you.
