Guidance
Guidance on the national minimum wage for organisations who offer work experience, including placements and internships.
If you or your organisation offer work experience, including ‘placements’ and internships, you need to consider if the person who will work for you is entitled to the national minimum wage ( NMW ).
It is your responsibility to decide whether the person is a worker for NMW purposes and, if they are, whether an exemption applies to them.
Failure to pay the NMW to someone who is entitled to it is against the law. If an unpaid person claims that they are owed arrears of the NMW , you must prove that they are not a worker or that no arrears are owed. Someone’s entitlement to the NMW depends on the contractual relationship with their employer, not their job title.
The term ‘work experience’ generally refers to a specified period of time that a person spends with your business, during which they have an opportunity to learn directly about working life and the working environment.
Some work experience positions offer people the chance to try their hand at particular tasks, others simply provide an opportunity to watch and learn. The nature, length and arrangements for work experience vary greatly. Someone’s entitlement to the NMW will depend on whether the work experience offered makes the individual a worker for NMW purposes.
Work experience can be called a ‘placement’ or an ‘internship’. Internships are sometimes understood to be positions requiring a higher level of qualification than other forms of work experience, and are associated with gaining experience for a professional career. However, the term ‘intern’ has no legal status under NMW law. Entitlement to the NMW does not depend on what someone is called, the type of work they do, how the work is described (eg ‘unpaid’ or ‘expenses only’) or the profession or sector they work in. What matters is whether the agreement or arrangement they have with you makes them a worker for NMW purposes. The Worker checklist can help you decide if this is the case.
Some forms of work experience, including placements and internships, may be referred to as ‘unpaid work’ or ‘expenses only’, where someone gives their services free of charge in order to develop or maintain their skills. Organisations offering such positions should check if the person is a volunteer for NMW purposes or if an exemption applies. If the person is not a genuine volunteer and is not exempt, then you must pay them at least the NMW .
Some people are not entitled to the NMW because there is a specific exemption in the NMW rules.
The exemptions relevant to work experience are:
Not every worker who works for a charity, voluntary organisation, associated fund-raising body or statutory body is automatically a voluntary worker.
Someone who is doing a placement that does not involve any work being performed, such as work shadowing, will not come within the NMW legislation. They are only observing and are not performing work.
People who are doing a placement on a volunteer basis are not workers for NMW purposes.
In general a volunteer is someone who:
The intention behind the unpaid activity (whether to benefit the environment, other groups, or the individual personally) is irrelevant. Someone may volunteer to do work to gain experience or in the hope that they will get a good reference. However, a promise to provide a contract or further work that will be paid may make the individual a worker for NMW purposes and thereby entitle them to the NMW .
Volunteers may be paid back reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Payment of such expenses will not make them a worker for NMW purposes.
Calling an unpaid worker ‘unpaid’ or ‘a volunteer’, even if the individual agrees to this, does not prevent them from qualifying for the NMW if they are entitled.
Before advertising a vacancy on an ‘unpaid’ or ‘expenses only’ basis, you should check whether the person that you are planning to recruit will be classed as a worker for NMW purposes.
Use the Worker checklist to help you decide if a person will be a worker for NMW purposes. Adverts which suggest illegal unpaid positions inform HM Revenue & Customs’ risk assessment process, and employers who are considered to be ‘at risk’ of not paying the NMW may be targeted for further investigation.
If you take someone on a work shadowing or on a volunteer basis, it is recommended that you agree elements of the arrangement in writing, such as learning objectives, and tailor their activities to these learning objectives. Documenting objectives for the work experience and recording that you will pay back ‘out of pocket’ expenses will not, in itself, amount to an employment contract or a contract to personally perform work or services which entitles the individual to the NMW .
Simply stating in a written agreement that a person is not a worker or that they are a volunteer does not mean that they are so for the purposes of NMW legislation. A court or tribunal would look at the reality of the arrangements made with the individual to decide if they are entitled to the NMW .
Stating in documents that the NMW does not apply will not limit your liability to pay the NMW when it is due. NMW legislation ensures an employer cannot avoid paying NMW in this way (even if the person concerned agrees to this).
If you take someone on as a worker, the usual rules on record keeping apply.
If you take someone on a work shadowing or volunteer basis, we strongly recommend that you document the arrangement that you have made with the person, and/or keep a record of any oral agreements in setting up the arrangements and any subsequent changes. In particular, if someone claims that they owed arrears of the NMW , you must demonstrate that they are not a worker for NMW purposes or that no arrears of the NMW are owed.
The government encourages people who accept work experience placements or internships to keep records of what they agreed with their employer. This information may be used as evidence if their entitlement to the NMW is considered at a future date, eg by a tribunal or HM Revenue & Customs . Note the promise of a contract or future job may amount to a benefit in kind which makes the person a worker for NMW purposes. Use the Worker checklist to help you decide if someone is a worker who needs to be paid the NMW .
Making someone doing work experience comply with a legal requirement, such as health and safety, is unlikely on its own to result in the person being classed as a worker and entitled to the NMW .
These are for illustrative purposes only: ultimately only a court or tribunal can decide if someone is entitled to the NMW in a given set of circumstances.
Lucas takes up an internship at a newspaper business. He agrees orally with the editor that he will work personally for 4 days a week from 9am to 5pm and will undertake research activities as directed. He receives some payment for working the agreed hours.
Lucas has made an oral contract with the editor and should be paid at least the NMW .
A contract can be oral or implied as well as written.
Amanda applies for a position at a record company. She is told that for 3 months she will be paid ‘expenses only’ and is referred to as an ‘unpaid intern’. However, as part of her agreement with the company, it is promised that at the end of her ‘internship’ she will be taken ‘on the books’ and paid above the NMW .
Amanda should be paid at least the NMW for the whole time she spends at the record company.
Whether someone is a worker does not depend on what job title they are given. For example, calling someone an ‘unpaid intern’ or ‘volunteer’ does not prevent them from qualifying for the NMW if they are really a worker. The promise of paid work is a form of reward for work undertaken.
David successfully applies for a work experience position in a small graphic design company, after seeing an advert offering £50 ‘travel expenses’ for each week. He receives these ‘travel expenses’ despite walking to work.
David should be paid at least the NMW .
Paying a financial reward which is more than paying back genuine ‘out-of-pocket’ expenses is evidence that David is a worker for NMW purposes.
Ben takes up an acting role in a short film. He signs a form agreeing to work unpaid. However he is promised a small percentage of any future profits, a DVD copy of the film and tickets to the company’s releases for the rest of the year, but no salary.
Ben should be paid at least the NMW .
An individual cannot sign away their rights to the NMW . Entitlement to the NMW depends on whether they are a worker. Ben isn’t a volunteer because he will get a reward for the work he does - the fact that no cash changes hands is irrelevant as benefits in kind that have a monetary value count as a reward.
These workers are covered by a specific exemption in NMW legislation.
Katerina is studying at teacher training college to become a primary school teacher. She spends 2 periods of 8 weeks working in local primary schools as part of her course.
Katerina does not need to be paid the NMW because the work is a required part of her course and the placement at the primary school does not exceed one year.
Students doing work experience as a required part of a UK-based further or higher education course are workers who are exempt from the NMW , as long as the total time of their placement does not exceed 1 year.
However, in the evenings, Katerina works in a local restaurant to fund her studies. Katerina should be paid at least the NMW for her work in the restaurant. The exemption does not cover students doing work that is not part of their course.
Donna takes up an internship as a charity’s events organiser. She has a contract in which she has agreed to organise certain events for the charity and attend on particular days and times – she is not paid, but travel and lunch expenses are paid back.
Donna does not need to be paid the NMW because she is a voluntary worker.
Voluntary workers are workers who are specifically exempt from the NMW under NMW legislation. To be exempt, they must work for a charity, voluntary organisation, associated fund raising body or statutory body and receive no monetary payments and only limited and specified expenses and benefits.
Sayeed, a university student, arranges 2 weeks’ work shadowing at a local company. This is unrelated to his studies. At the company, Sayeed shadows team members in different parts of the organisation and learns about the company. His activities are limited to observing, listening and questioning. He does not receive any payments, but can claim travel expenses.
Sayeed does not need to be paid the NMW because he is not a worker for NMW purposes.
Individuals taking part in work shadowing are not performing work.
Ryan volunteers at a museum. He has no contract with the museum. He has a regular pattern of working on Tuesdays and Thursdays 9am to 6pm. He is not obliged to turn up for work, but is asked to let the museum’s manager know if he is unable to come on his usual days. He is welcomed back after periods away. His role usually involves administrative tasks (answering the phones and taking notes of meetings in a set format), but can change from day to day, with details set out by a manager each morning. He is unpaid but receives travel and lunch expenses for the days he works.
Ryan does not need to be paid the NMW as he is a volunteer.
Others expecting you to turn up or generally working a regular pattern does not necessarily indicate you are a worker, unless the employer can require you to work or impose sanctions for failure to do work. An individual can be a volunteer even if they are working under the supervision or control of a manager or having to meet specific standards or guidelines.

The Number module provides a Format
class for number
formatting and parsing that uses an identical API to
Intl.NumberFormat:
var n = 10000.011, opts = { maximumFractionDigits : 2 }, fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("fr", opts), numberStr = fmt.format(n); // "10 000,01"
The values provided by Intl.NumberFormat are strictly one way: there is no way to read them back. UsefulJS.Number.Format objects can take localized number strings and turn them back into numbers:
n = fmt.parse("10 000,01"); // 10000.01
UsefulJS.Number.Format offers the same styles as Intl.NumberFormat - decimal, percent and currency - and adds two more - scientific and engineering - since people who deal routinely with very large or very small numbers tend not to write them in longhand:
var n = 9.9999e13, opts = { style : "scientific", maximumSignificantDigits : 5 }, fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("en", opts), numberStr = fmt.format(n); // "9.9999 × 10¹³"
Values formatted in scientific notation can be read back:
var opts = { style : "scientific" }, parser = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("en", opts), n = parser.parse("9.9999 × 10¹³"); // 9.9999e13
UsefulJS.Number.Format offers another option for displaying large or small numbers: scaled values (with optional units):
var fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("en", { scale : "auto", unit : "tonne" }); // Tactical nuke var explosiveForce = fmt.format(20000); // "20 kt" // Strategic nuke explosiveForce = fmt.format(10000000); // "10 Mt"
For an international technical audience, UsefulJS.Number.Format exposes an SI option which ignores most locale settings and formats vales according to SI (Système international) rules. This may be combined with other options and styles to produce standardized, locale-neutral output:
// hi locale normally uses Devangaric digits
var fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("hi", { SI : true, scale : "auto", unit : "metre second-1" }),
c_in_vacuo = fmt.format(299792458); // "299 792.458 km·s⁻¹"
// For diehard cgs enthusiasts
fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("hi",
{ SI : true, scale : "c", unit : "metre second-1", style : "scientific", maximumSignificantDigits : 9 });
c_in_vacuo = fmt.format(299792458); // "2.99792458 × 10¹⁰ cm·s⁻¹"
It won't be replacing TEX in the scientist's armoury, but this should be perfectly acceptable output for a scientific application.
These formats are parseable too:
// Units and scale are detected automatically on parsing var parser = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("hi"), n = parser.parse("299 792.458 km·s⁻¹"); // 299792458
Formatting floating point numbers for display inevitably involves rounding them. UsefulJS.Number offers three rounding algorithms to determine how ties are settled when the least significant digit in the rounded output could go either way.
This is the rounding you will have learned in school: round half up; this algorithm
also rounds negative numbers up to become less negative: 0.25 to one decimal place
is rounded up to 0.3 while -0.25 is rounded up to -0.2. This algorithm introduces
positive bias since the average of a collection of rounded numbers will be
slightly more than the average of the unrounded ones. This is the behaviour of
Math.round
.
This is rounding half up if the number is positive but down if the number is
negative. 0.25 to one decimal place is rounded up to 0.3 while -0.25 is rounded
down to -0.3. This algorithm produces unbiased output only when the unrounded values are
distributed evenly around 0. This is the behaviour of Number.toFixed
.
Half is rounded up when the least significant digit in the rounded value is even, otherwise it is rounded down. 0.25 to one decimal place is rounded down to 0.2 while -0.25 is rounded up to -0.2. 0.35, on the other hand, is rounded up to 0.4 while -0.35 is rounded down to -0.4. This algorithm produces unbiased output and is the default rounding algorithm for the IEEE Standard for Floating Point Arithmetic.
You select the rounding algorithm to be used for formatting through the
UsefulJS.Number.rounding
property which should be set to one of
the three values above. The default algorithm is ROUND_HALF_TO_EVEN.
UsefulJS.String.sprintf
.The rounding algorithms detect and compensate for rounding errors in the floating point hardware. Running the following code will produce surprising output:
(1.015).toFixed(2); // "1.01"
The reason, presumably, is hardware floating point error:
1.015 * 100; //<PHONE_NUMBER>9999999
Compare with the UsefulJS drop-in replacement for toFixed:
(1.015)._toFixed(2); // "1.02"
Do not confuse floating point error with choice of rounding algorithm:
(1.045).toFixed(2); // 1.04: WRONG (1.045)._toFixed(2); // 1.04: ROUND_HALF_TO_EVEN UsefulJS.Number.rounding = UsefulJS.Number.ROUND_HALF_AWAY_FROM_ZERO; (1.045)._toFixed(2); // 1.05
Constructor for the class.
new UsefulJS.Number.Format([requestedLocales[, options]])
requestedLocales
String or Arrayoptions
ObjectThe requestedLocales
parameter is specified either as a single BCP-47 locale tag ("en" or
"en-GB") or an array of such values indicating the preferred locale and one or more fallbacks. For example,
["quz-PE", "es-PE", "es"] would result in the "es-PE" locale being selected for number formatting
since Quechua is not a supported language whereas Spanish is and there is a locale object for
Spanish (Peru).
requestedLocales
parameter is optional. You can set
UsefulJS.Locale.current
to control the default locale.Together with selecting the locale itself, you may specifiy Unicode extensions to control the numbering system used. "-u-" is used to specify an extension and then "nu-<N>" for the numbering system. For example, to do number formatting in Hindi using Latin digits rather than the locale default, you would specify "hi-u-nu-latn". Latin ("latn") digits are the default for most locales.
You may specify the following values for the numbering system: "arab", "arabext", "bali", "beng", "deva", "fullwide", "gujr", "guru", "hanidec", "khmr", "knda", "laoo", "latn", "limb", "mlym", "mong", "mymr", "orya", "tamldec", "telu", "thai" and "tibt". Of these "arab" is the default numbering system used in Arabic locales, "arabext" is the default for "fa" (Iran), "deva" is the default for "hi" (Hindi) and "beng" is the default for "bn" (Bengali) and "bn-BD" (Bangladesh).
The options hash passed to the constructor may contain combinations of various named values that control the formatting of numeric values. The options and their permissible values are detailed below (options and values marked with '*' are specific to UsefulJS):
| Option name | Values | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| minimumSignificantDigits | 1 - 21 | 1 | The fractional part of the number string will be right-padded with zeroes to make up the required number of significant digits. |
| maximumSignificantDigits | 1 - 21 | minimumSignificantDigits | Insignificant digits in the number string will be replaced with zeroes. If a fractional part is not required, it won't be emitted |
| minimumFractionDigits | 1 - 21 | 0 | The fractional part of the number string will be right-padded with zeroes to make up the required number of fraction digits. |
| maximumFractionDigits | 1 - 21 | max(minimumFractionDigits, 3) | The fractional part of the number string will be truncated. Trailing zeroes will be suppressed, possibly removing the fractional part altogether. For currency formatting, the maximum number of fractional digits is a property of the currency itself (usually 2 but sometimes 0 or 3) and should only be overridden when your application requires it. |
| style | decimal, percent, currency, *scientific, *engineering | decimal | The engineering style is the same as scientific except that the exponent will always be in multiples of three. |
| currency | The ISO 4217 currency code (found here) | - | When the style is "currency", not specifying a currency option causes
a TypeError to be raised. This follows the practice of the
Intl API. |
| currencyDisplay | code, symbol, name | symbol | The "name" value is treated the same as "code" (I am not going to localize the names of around a hundred currencies into fifty languages to satisfy a questionable option value!). |
| useGrouping | true, false | true | Determines whether group separators (such as ',') are inserted between groups of digits |
| *SI | true, false | false | Whether numbers are formatted according to SI rules: numbering system is "latn", grouping character is NO-BREAK SPACE (\u00A0), number grouping is [3] and the decimal separator is '.', unless the value for the locale is ','. |
| *keep1 | true, false | false | When using the scientific and engineering styles, the mantissa is suppressed if it is equal to 1 unless the keep1 option is true. |
| *unit | See below | - | A space separated string containing one or more SI-units (and a handful of non-SI units) together with an optional +n/-n to scale the unit. Unit values in the output string are joined with the MIDDLE DOT (\u00B7) character |
| *scale | auto, other | - | Scales numbers so that the output reads more naturally. See the "Scales" table below. |
| *base10 | true, false | false | When dealing with byte values makes format and parse operations use powers of ten rather than powers of two. Useful when dealing with, for example, hard disk space. |
The options parameter to the constructor is optional; if not supplied the effect will be the same as
{ style : "decimal" }
.
If creating an object to parse number strings, many of the options are not required: significant digits, fraction digits and integer digits are irrelevant as are keep1 and useGrouping. The scale value is obtained automatically as are any units (although you may want to specify a unit to ensure that the value is parsed correctly).
The internationalization API allows for an additional parameter: localeMatcher. This is ignored - the algorithm used is "lookup".
The percent style automatically scales the value up by a factor of 100:
var fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("en", { style : "percent" }), nStr = fmt.format(0.85); // "85%"
The unit option is a space-separated string of one or more unit values with an optional +/-n scale if the magnitude of the unit is not 1. For example, to express density ("kilograms per cubic metre"), the corresponding unit string would be "kilogram metre-3" while volume ("cubic metres") would be "metre+3". When combined with a scale, the magnitude of the unit is taken into account when scaling the value. For example, here is a rather CPU-intensive way of converting from cubic metres to cubic centimetres:
var fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("en", { scale : "c", unit : "metre+3" }), volume = fmt.format(1); // "1,000,000 cm³"
Here is the complete list of units:
| Name | Quantity | Symbol |
|---|---|---|
| metre | Length | m |
| kilogram | Mass | kg |
| second | Time | s |
| ampere | Electric current | A |
| kelvin | Thermodynamic temperature | K |
| mole | Amount of substance | mol |
| candela | Luminous intensity | cd |
| radian | Angle | rad |
| steradian | Solid angle | sr |
| hertz | Frequency | Hz |
| newton | Force | N |
| pascal | Pressure | Pa |
| joule | Energy, work | J |
| watt | Power | W |
| coulomb | Electric charge | C |
| volt | Electrical potential difference, electromotive force | V |
| farad | Electric capacitance | F |
| ohm | Electric resistance | Ω |
| siemens | Electrical conductance | S |
| weber | Magnetic flux | Wb |
| tesla | Magnetic field strength | T |
| henry | Inductance | H |
| celsius | Temperature (relative to 273.15K) | °C |
| lumen | Luminous flux | lm |
| lux | Illuminance | lx |
| becquerel | Radioactivity (decays per second) | Bq |
| gray | Absorbed dose of radiation | Gy |
| sievert | Equivalent dose of radiation | Sv |
| katal | Catalytic activity | kat |
| gram | Mass | g |
| minute | Time | min |
| hour | Time | h |
| day | Time | d |
| year | Time | y |
| degree | Angle | ° |
| arcminute | Angle | ′ |
| arcsecond | Angle | ″ |
| hectare | Area | ha |
| litre | Volume | l |
| tonne | Mass | t |
| angstrom | Length (10-10 m) | Å |
| bytes | Data size | B |
| meter | Length (alternate spelling) | m |
| liter | Volume (alternate spelling and preferred US symbol) | L |
There is nothing to stop you supplying your own units, but you need to specify the symbol explicitly:
var massOfElectron = 511000, fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("en", { scale : "M", unit : "eV" }), nStr = fmt.format(massOfElectron); // "0.511 MeV"
Since values with units are intended for technical applications, there is no attempt to localize the symbols.
These are the scale values that you can specify:
| Scale | Name | Multiplier (base 10) | Multiplier (base 2) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Y | yotta- | 10²⁴ | 2⁸⁰ |
| Z | zetta- | 10²¹ | 2⁷⁰ |
| E | exa- | 10¹⁸ | 2⁶⁰ |
| P | peta- | 10¹⁵ | 2⁵⁰ |
| T | tera- | 10¹² | 2⁴⁰ |
| G | giga- | 10⁹ | 2³⁰ |
| M | mega- | 10⁶ | 2²⁰ |
| k | kilo- | 10³ | - |
| K | kilo- | - | 2¹⁰ |
| h | hecto- | 10² | - |
| da | deca- | 10¹ | - |
| d | deci- | 10⁻¹ | - |
| c | centi- | 10⁻² | - |
| m | milli- | 10⁻³ | - |
| µ / micro | micro- | 10⁻⁶ | - |
| n | nano- | 10⁻⁹ | - |
| p | pico- | 10⁻¹² | - |
| f | femto- | 10⁻¹⁵ | - |
| a | atto- | 10⁻¹⁸ | - |
| z | zepto- | 10⁻²¹ | - |
| y | yocto- | 10⁻²⁴ | - |
| auto | - | - | - |
The base-2 column is for the bytes unit:
var fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("en", { scale : "auto", unit : "bytes" }), eightGig = fmt.format((1 << 30) * 8); // "8 GB"
The kilo- scale for bytes is formatted as "K" rather than "k":
var twoPointFiveK = fmt.format(2560); // "2.5 KB"
When dealing with, for example, hard disk space, a kilobyte is 1000 bytes, rather than 1024 bytes. You can use the base10 option to control whether powers of ten rather than powers of two are used:
var fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("en", { scale : "auto", unit : "bytes", base10 : true }), diskSize = fmt.format(2e12); // "2 TB"
The "µ" scale may be specified as "micro" since "µ" is hard to type. Note that the character used is MICRO SIGN (\u00B5) rather than GREEK SMALL LETTER MU (\u03BC).

Units are formatted with a NO-BREAK SPACE between the quantity and the unit except for degree, arcminute and arcsecond where the unit is flush against the quantity.
The "auto" scaling algorithm attempts to end up with a quantity between 1 and 1000 without the result being silly. I've not heard of a "megagram" or "megametre", so the auto-scaling does not output "Mg" or "Mm". The "c" scale is only applied automatically when the unit is metre or litre (or, if you prefer, "meter" or "liter") and other scales that are not multiples of three are never applied automatically. The kilogram unit isn't scaled down to grams, only to milligrams and smaller, and it isn't scaled up at all. That said, the algorithm isn't infallible:
var gravitationalConstant = 6.67384e-11, fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("en", { SI : true, scale : "auto", unit : "metre+3 kilogram-1 second-2" }), nStr = fmt.format(gravitationalConstant; // "66 738 400 µm³·kg⁻¹·s⁻²"
The result is correct but rather weird.
When parsing values, an SI unit is preferred to a scale-plus-unit when there is any ambiguity:
var universeAge = 1.38e10, fmt = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("en", { scale : "auto", unit : "year" }), nStr = fmt.format(universeAge); // "13.8 Gy" // nStr will be parsed as though the unit were Gray rather than giga-years var parser = new UsefulJS.Number.Format(), radiationDose = parser.parse("13.8 Gy"); // 13.8 // Remove ambiguity by specifying the unit in the parse options parser = new UsefulJS.Number.Format(null, { unit : "year" }); universeAge = parser.parse("13.8 Gy"); // 1.38e10
Formats a number according the configured style and options.
format(n)
n
NumberReturns: String. The formatted number
If the input cannot be coerced into a sensible number, the return value is "NaN". If the input is Number.POSITIVE_INFINITY, the return value is "∞" substituted into the appropriate positive number pattern (for example, "∞%"). If the input is Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY, the return value is "∞" substituted into the appropriate negative number pattern.
When using scientific / engineering format in a locale that does not use Latin digits, the exponent is still formatted using Latin digits. I've not been able to find out how to do scientific notation in, say, Arabic so this is my best guess, especially as superscript digits are only available in Latin form.
The native Intl.NumberFormat objects use the same rather broken truncation algorithm as
Number.toFixed
when formatting using the decimal style and round-half-away-from-zero
when formatting currency. UsefulJS.Number.Format objects use the rounding algorithm
specified through the UsefulJS.Number.rounding
property. Certain
locales may specify a currency rounding algorithm.
The format method is bound to its instance, meaning that you can use a pointer to the instance
method where a function pointer is expected. For example, if you have a whole bunch of numbers to be
formatted, you can pass fmt.format
to Array.prototype.map
.
See above for lots of usage examples!
Parses a string produced by a Format object back into a number.
parse(numberStr)
numberStr
StringReturns: Number. The parsed value.
You need to set the correct style when parsing a number string if you are not to get Number.NaN back. This is because the digits first need to be extracted from locale-specific patterns before they can be parsed. You don't need to set scale and unit because they are picked up automatically and the scaling is reversed (as it is with the percent style). If the value extracted from a pattern is "∞", the return value will be an infinity; which one depends on whether the pattern matched was a positive or negative number pattern. If the value is plain not number-like, the return will be Number.NaN.
The parse method is bound to its instance.
// Parse percent strings formatted for the tu (Turkey) locale var parser = new UsefulJS.Number.Format("tr", { style : "percent" }), numberStrings = ["%\u00a085", "-%\u00a050"], numbers = numberStrings.map(parser.parse); // [0.85, -0.5]
Gets an Object showing what the requested options resolved to. The locale
property is useful
in that it gives the actual locale being used (unlike supportedLocalesOf
). See the
Intl.NumberFormat documentation for more information.
resolvedOptions()
Part of the internationalization API and not terribly useful. Takes an array of locale codes and returns the locales that are "supported" in the sense that they do not resolve to the default locale. For example, "ru-UK" (Ukrainian Russian) would return as "supported", even though the locale that is actually supported is "ru", i.e. Russian Russian. See the Intl documentation for more information.
supportedLocalesOf(locales[, options])
The UsefulJS.Number.Format API is a superset of the Intl.NumberFormat API, with a couple of additional styles and some extra options. Unlike date and time formatting, number formatting is a well-defined problem: no English speaker separates groups of digits with a space and sticks a comma between the integer and fractional parts; likewise no French speaker uses commas and dots as separators. This means that UsefulJS.Number.Format should produce the same value as a native Intl.NumberFormat implementation bar differences in how half-values are rounded. It also means that UsefulJS.Number.Format should be able to parse values produced by Intl.NumberFormat.
The smallest interval between distinct floating point numbers for a given architecture. Since JavaScript uses 64-bit floating point numbers, the value is approximately 2.22045e-16. If the value is available as a property of Number, then that property is used. Otherwise it is computed (and found to be 2.220446049250313e-16). A module fix can make this a property of Number. It is used to detect errors that come from the floating point architecture itself, such as the sum of 0.1 and 0.2 being not quite 0.3.
The unit and scale values used by the Format class are also available as public properties of UsefulJS.Number.
The rounding algorithm to use. See above for the available algorithms.
The fixes for the Number module are in the _number namespace of the fix options. All fixes are applied by default.
Adds the relevant static property to the Number class if not already present.
Patches Number.prototype.toLocaleString to take locale and formatting options, just like Intl.NumberFormat. The output property is "toLocaleStringFixed".
Makes the UsefulJS.Number.Format class available through the Intl.NumberFormat namespace. This allows for completely portable, locale-aware number formatting that runs in pretty much any browser, using the native object when available.
Adds a method called _toFixed to Number.prototype which is intended as a drop-in
replacement for toFixed
. Details of the method are as follows:
Truncates the string representation of a floating point number to a specified precision, rounding the result correctly.
<N>._toFixed([maxPrecision[, minPrecision]])
maxPrecision
NumberMinPrecision
NumberReturns: String. The fixed-precision output.
 Even if the implementation isn't
so brain-damaged that it rounds 0.9 to 0, it still uses an algorithm
that incorrectly rounds values for a wide range of inputs and gives you the
number of digits after the decimal point whether you want them or not.
_toFixed
rounds numbers correctly, suppresses meaningless zeroes
at the end of the output and allows you to override this behaviour through the
minPrecision
parameter:
(1).toFixed(2); // 1.00 (1)._toFixed(2); // 1 (1)._toFixed(2, 2); // 1.00
Very large and very small numbers are handled:
(1.23e50).toFixed(); // "1.23e+50" (1.23e50)._toFixed(); // "123000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000" (1.23e-21).toFixed(22); // throws (1.23e-21)._toFixed(22); // "0.0000000000000000000012"


8MM Reviewed by Mac VerStandig 3 and 1/2 Stars (out of 4) See many more reviews and vote in the awards poll at Http://www.moviereviews.org
What is pornography? Is it the showing of forbidden areas on a human body? Do they need to be shown in a sexual fashion to constitute pornography? Does the goal of the exploitation have to be sexual gratification for the viewer? The Supreme Court of the United States of America once spoke of pornography, and gave the explanation "You know it when you see it." After seeing 8MM, the latest film from director Joel Schumacher, I am convinced that the Supreme Court was absolutely correct.
A multi-millionaire widow discovers an 8mm film in her husband's safe, in which a young girl appears to raped and murdered in a most violent fashion. So, her and her attorney hire private detective Tom Welles (Nicholas Cage) to look into the authenticity of the film, and determine whether or not this could be a real snuff film, or if the murder is faked. Welles assures her that the film must be fake, saying that snuff films are "basically an urban legend--makeup, special effects" However, nonetheless, he agrees to look into it. He decides that the most effective way would be to treat the girl in the film like a missing person, and see what turns up.
He soon finds the girl and discovers that she is, indeed missing, and had run away to Los Angeles, where she found a home in the underground porn industry. So Welles makes his way into this dark, sick, and disgusting underground world with the help of Max California (Joaquin Phoenix), a clerk at a porn store. And that is what this film deals with, the underground porn world, and the people involved with it. It introduces characters that star in and make these various S/M films which feature everything from the mild beatings and whippings, to lewd images of children in those acts, to bestiality. His goal is to find the people that dealt with this girl, and what happened to her.
He also finds the girl's mother, which becomes an interesting side plot to the story. The film deals with her coping with the loss of her only child for no apparent explanation. She becomes one of the films most intriguing characters, because her and Welles are the only people in this movie that average persons can relate to. And they are opposites of each other. She is dealing with the loss of a child and husband that has left her. He is a new father with a wife that is just starting to detect marriage problems due to his work.
At one point, Max California tells Welles that he will "see things you can't unsee." That is a drastic understatement, as Schumacher chose to allow the audience to view almost everything that Welles does.  You, the audience member, ask yourself the questions that Welles is asking the people behind these films, namely "why?" It is incomprehensible to me how some of these people could exist in the real world, or how some of them could be sick enough to engage in these behaviors, and yet that is the most frightening element of this film, that people like those doe really exist.
With that said, my largest gripe with this film is it's rating. Probably due to the big names behind it, 8MM was issued an R rating by the MPAA. The first realization that I came to is that 8MM is not pornography in any way shape or form. It contains scenes and images that would, without question, constitute pornography, but it itself is not. What it is is a frighteningly real and intense film that audiences won't enjoy as much as be shocked by. And, as it is warned, you cannot unsee some of the things in this film, they just don't go away. For that reason, 8MM is more than deserving of an NC-17 rating, as films like Showgirls, Orgazmo, and Kids look like a humorous family films when in comparison.
Nicholas Cage is absolutely phenomenal in his role. He acts like your tour guide through this deep, dark underground world, and is masterful in doing so. At one point he holds a sick, twisted, murderer at his mercy, but cannot come to execute him. So he calls the victim's family and requests permission to do so. That is one of his moments of pure humanity. At other times he comes closer to insanity. Another scene features him with a different murderer, just muttering the question "why?" over and over. The response is chilling as he snaps "The things I do - I do them because I like them. Because I want to." That is what this film is about.
Director Joel Schumacher has once again created a dark film that is truly dark. Literally, less than 10 minutes of this film are in well-lit areas. That adds a creepy and intense feel to the film, which is backed up by a frightening score throughout the film, which is only substituted for an eerie silence.
When all is said and done, 8MM is a frightening, dark, intense movie that will stay with you for a long time. It has it's flaws in that some of the acting is less than ideal, and there may just be such a thing as too much darkness for one movie. But it is good in principal, and features a wonderful performance by Nicholas Cage, and one of the most amazing character studies since Hannibal Lector in The Silence of the Lambs. I only warn that "you see things you can't unsee."

This is a collection of random notes that might make it easier to use the emulator. The Compucolor II had some funky features that have been faithfully emulated, but made worse by the fact that the PC keyboard is missing many of the dedicated keys that the Compucolor had (where is the "cyan" key?)
The Compucolor II, like most micros of that era, were very quirky machines, and in this case, the keyboard was a standout in that regard. There are a few things to know in order to get much of anything done.
The Compucolor doesn't have lower case characters; instead, those codes map to various graphics glyphs, such as chess pieces. Since all BASIC commands must use upper case, you have to hold Shift to type letters, or more conveniently, just enable your Caps Lock key.
Quickest way to kick the tires: use "Run a program" pulldown, although it doesn't work in all browser versions. See the later section on Autotyping.
The Compucolor has various modes of operation, and it can be confusing if you find yourself stuck in one you didn't plan on. The mode you care most about is BASIC mode, and is the default mode when you start the machine. For example, typing Esc D will put you in the FCS (file control system) mode. In general, typing Esc E will put you back in BASIC while preserving whatever program was in memory, and Esc W will get you back into BASIC mode while clearing out the program. In the worst case, hit the Hard Reset button or reload the page to get a fresh start.
When entering text, left arrow and backspace both erase one character. CTRL-K erases text to the start of the line. CTRL-L erases the screen (page). When a program is running, the down arrow interrupts. When listing a program, the down arrow interrupts. When listing a program, the Break key will pause listing; type any other key to resume listing, except down arrow which stops listing. Hard Reset is like rebooting the machine -- everything is lost. Warm Reset enters CRT mode. Typing Esc E gets you back into BASIC with your program intact.
First off, the Compucolor doesn't support lower case letters. To type commands you either need to hold the SHIFT key down, or more conveniently, activate the caps lock key.
Repeat Key: The Compucolor didn't have typomatic keyboard action by default. To get autorepeating characters, you had to hold down the REPEAT key while holding some other keyboard key to get a series of that key. Obviously, modern PC keyboards don't have a REPEAT key. Instead, this emulator detects when the PC is autorepeating keys and sends then pretends that the REPEAT key is held down. As a result, the repeat rate is that of the Compucolor, not that of whatever your computer natively generates.
Hard Reset: You can perform a hard reset on the CC-II either by pressing the dedicated button on the webpage, or you can hit the key combination Ctrl-Shift-CPU Reset on the virtual keyboard.
Warm Reset: You can perform a warm reset on the CC-II either by pressing the dedicated button on the webpage, or you can hit the CPU Reset key on the virtual keyboard.  The three that you will care about are
Function keys: Most PC keyboards have F1 through F12, while the CC-II had F0 through F15. If you need those other buttons, use the virtual keyboard feature (below). The low end CC-II keyboard didn't have any function keys, so it shouldn't be critical.
Numeric Keypad: Just make sure you have the Num Lock key active, otherwise you'll get something other than numbers.
Caps Lock: In general, Compucolor use required keeping the Caps Lock key active nearly all the time, as the machine didn't have lowercase letters. The Compucolor uses the Caps Lock key in one way: it inverts the meaning of the shift key for the characters corresponding to 'A' to 'Z' and 'a' to 'z'. If you press any of the letter keys in combination with the Ctrl key, Caps Lock is ignored.
Break: Pressing the Break key while a program listing was scrolling by would pause the listing. Hitting another key would resume listing. The PC also has a Break key, and is mapped to the same function. However, because this seldom used key can be awkward to hit, the PC End key has also been mapped to this function.
"Autotyping" is the name for reading a file from the host computer and getting it into the emulated CC-II by having the emulator act as if there is a very fast typist at the keyboard. For arcane reasons, the text which is entered by the autotyper isn't echoed to the screen, although a carriage return is produced for each line.
The emulator comes with a list of programs you can run; use the pulldown menu under "Run a program:" to choose one. If you want to run your own program, select "Use local file..." from the pulldown to navigate to your own file. This item might be missing if your browser doesn't support the javascript FileReader API.
Because it takes a while for the BASIC interpreter to process each line, it takes a few moments to transfer the whole file. A progress bar is displayed on top of the emulated CC-II screen, showing how much of the file has been stuffed into the emulated CC-II. If you change your mind during a file load, hitting the Esc key will cancel the transfer.
There is one special feature to these autotyper files. If the first line of a loaded text file begins with the exact
[[[RESET]]](no spaces) it will force the emulated Compucolor to go through a hard reset before the rest of the file is read in. This is convenient for autoloading games so that it will make sure any program already in memory is wiped out. Putting "RUN" as the last line of the file will make the program run as soon as it is loaded.
Warning: The CC-II uses the convention of using Ctrl-M (hex 0D, carriage return) line endings, the same convention that Macs use. If the emulator detects that you are trying to read in a file with the wrong line ending style (either DOS or Unix), it will offer to map them (on the fly) to carriage return style line endings.
Warning: The input buffer in the BASIC interpreter uses has room for only 97 characters. If you try to autotype a file containing lines which are longer than this, such lines will get split up, and the result is likely to be a broken program.
The emulator is configured with two virtual floppy disk drives, CD0 and CD1. Beneath the emulator window, use the pulldown to choose one to insert into the corresponding drive. If your browser supports the FileReader API, you can also choose "Use local file..." to use a compuclor virtual floppy (.ccvf) disk image of your choice.
After a floppy is loaded, the emulator attempts to read its volume label, and if successful, that label is shown next to the drive indicator (CD0: or CD1:).
Any time a given drive is selected, the drive indicator will turn red.
Most floppy disks, though not all, contain a "MENU.BAS" program. For such disks, the easiest way to get going is to insert the floppy, hit the reset button (either hard reset or warm reset), then hit the Auto button. This will load and run MENU.BAS.
For advanced users, you can also enter FCS by typing Esc D and issue any FCS command, such as DIR. Please read the compucolor user manuals to learn how to use the floppy properly.
Finally, it should be noted that javascript, by design, doesn't allow writing files onto your host computer filesystem. If you want to save a virtual disk image, the emulator has this hacky workaround. Hold down the Ctrl key then left click on the CD0: or CD1: label for the virtual disk image you want to save. This will pop open a window with the virtual disk image in a text format. Using that window's menu, save the file to disk. Be sure to save it as a .txt file, not an html file, otherwise it won't work. If that doesn't work, use CTRL-A to select all the text in the window, CTRL-C to copy it, then save it to a file yourself after pasting it into a text editor.
The Compucolor came configured with one of three keyboard models: standard, extended, and deluxe. These had some key that don't have a corresponding key on a standard PC keyboard, so in case you really need to use one of these keys, the emulator has a "virtual keyboard" feature. By default it is hidden, but selecting one of the radio buttons on the left, under "Virtual Keyboard:" will enable pane with a deluxe keyboard key set, either in small, medium, or large size (to suit your preference). The layout isn't strictly the same as a real deluxe keyboard &emdash; some key groups have been moved to reduce how much screen real estate the entire virtual keyboard takes up.
Rather than trying to explain all of it, I advise reading some of the Compucolor documentation.
Firefox 19: The emulator has primarily been developed and tested on recent builds of the Firefox browser and is known to work well there.
IE 10: The emulator has received light testing with this browser and mostly works.
IE 9: The emulator has received light testing with this browser and mostly works.
IE 8 and earlier: Nope -- too much work, primarily because they don't support the HTML canvas element, and because javascript is relatively slow on those browsers.
Chrome v25.something: The emulator has received light testing on a recent build of the Chrome browser. It seems to mostly work, with these known shortcomings.
Safari v5.1.8: The emulator has received light testing on this build of Safari on OSX. Reportedly Safari 6.x has improved things in regard to the problems below.
Opera v12.14: Light testing shows that it mostly works, save these few problems:

Sienna Miller Reveals She Auditioned For ‘Trolls’ To Impress Her Daughter
by Corey AtadSienna Miller does not know how to do a troll voice.
Appearing on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” on Monday, the “21 Bridges” star revealed that she has tried out for roles in kids movies to impress her 7-year-old daughter Marlowe.
“I did embarrassingly do a vocal audition for ‘Trolls’,” Miller said. “And I was like, ‘Ooh, Trolls! Okay, I’m gonna do something unique,’ which was the stupidest voice… which [Marlowe], at 3 [years old], thought was amazing. I was like, ‘I crushed it.’ Sent it off and didn’t get it.”
She added, “But I’m sure that there will be a tape circulating around that studio of the ridiculous troll voice that I thought was appropriate.”
In the end, it was for the best, as Miller learned.
“Then I watched the movie,” she said. “She just did a great, kind of normal voice. So I was really off the mark… I wanted to be that troll.”

I’m in a particularly thinky place right now. Thinking about Portland and how it’s changing / has changed. Thinking about me, where I’ve been, where I’m going. Where has my writing gone, and what do I when I have down time? When am I happiest? What keeps me from being great at things, from committing to the simple changes that have such a big impact on me?
How is it that I can even procrastinate playing the next chapter of a video game that I enjoy?
I explained my background a few times recently, and sometimes it sounds pretty great: education degree, art masters, crazy job teaching Acting for Animation, learning how to talk to students about their lives and help them thrive. Managing a team, even, so they could talk to students better than they had.
I’ve been thinking about how five years ago (!) I took the GRE and went to Juniper and thought I’d get a poetry degree. How ten years ago I started camping out in Portland coffeeshops, enamored of this little city that seemed to always have the Decemberists and Transatlanticism playing, serving $1 cups of Hairbender. How four summers ago I was leaving InsideTrack, three summers ago we were leaving Lansing, two summers ago we were leaving Macomb, and last summer my job was leaving me behind.
The linearity of life sounds so simple when you’re telling someone something in a few paragraphs, a few minutes.
I can remember the feeling of biking across town to play Risk 2210, the way that I learned the path so well that I could do the less-hill-more-chill path to anywhere in northeast. Remember Bycycle? Remember Half and Half next to the old IPRC around the corner from the old Jackpot Records? I’d walk to the neighborhood during my lunch break and try and make myself better with the Believer (remember when it was monthly? remember all those Charles Burns covers?) and coffee and a record (remember when Jackpot had a tiny vinyl section, tightly curated) and walk back to work $10 or $20 lighter but not noticably worse.
Remember when the Zen Center was a short walk away? I’d listen to Zen is Stupid (remember that?) on the way there, and maybe on the way back, too (though the way back was often reserved for holding that quiet I’d just created for myself). Twice a year or so I’d go on silent retreat, help cut vegetables or move wood chips, eat formal meals, and steal away for at least one americano. I would get home and feel like nothing could affect me, that I could consider things as they came my way. I’d stop biting my nails for a time. I’d be there, fully, in all my conversations, spending time with Erin.

The Tamworth candidates have been announced for the upcoming General Election
The Tamworth constituency includes: The Borough of Tamworth, and the District of Lichfield wards of Bourne Vale, Fazeley, Little Aston, Mease and Tame, Shenstone, and Stonnall
by Eleanor Barraclough, https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/authors/eleanor-barraclough/The Tamworth Constituency candidates have been announced for the upcoming General Election.
On December 12, voters will pile into their local polling station to mark their ballots in favour of who they want to see running the country for the next five years.
In total there will be six candidates for people to choose from with the return of Tamworth's latest incumbent Christopher Pincher who won the majority in 2017, over Labour candidate Andrew Hammond and Liberal Democrat candidate Jennifer Pinkett.
In 2017, Christopher Pincher had an overriding majority with 61% of the Tamworth vote and he will be hoping to hold his seat in Parliament this election.
The conservatives gained the seat from Labour back in the 2010 election.
Who are the Tamworth candidates?
- Labour and Co-operative Party- Christopher Bain
- UK Independence Party (UKIP)- Robert Bilcliff
- The Conservative Party Candidate- Christopher Pincher
- The Green Party Candidate- Andrew Tilley
- Liberal Democrat- Rob Wheway
- Independent- John Wright
The Tamworth constituency includes: The Borough of Tamworth, and the District of Lichfield wards of Bourne Vale, Fazeley, Little Aston, Mease and Tame, Shenstone, and Stonnall.
Why are we having an early election?
A general election - which determines who runs the country - normally happens every five years.
There are 650 constituencies, where voters are invited to select an MP to represent their area.
Nearly three-and-a-half years ago voters were called to the ballot box to decide whether the UK should remain in or leave the European Union.
The majority chose to leave and we were supposed to have left on March, 29 this year, however, it has since been delayed after MPs failed to back plans put forward by former Prime Minister Theresa May and now Boris Johnson.

Arsenal say Unai Emery is ‘the right man for the job’ and will stand by him
by Nick Ames
• Arsenal urge fans to get behind manager and struggling team
• Granit Xhaka ready to play again after captaincy furore
Arsenal have given Unai Emery a public vote of confidence, backing him to turn their fortunes around but adding a clear caveat that the team’s form must improve.
Emery’s position has come under scrutiny after a turbulent start to the season that has brought a run of one win in six Premier League games. They are eight points behind fourth-placed Manchester City and nine short of Leicester, who beat them 2-0 on Saturday and sit in second place.
There is an appetite at boardroom level to give Emery, who replaced Arsène Wenger in May 2018, significantly more time but concern is growing that Arsenal risk falling well out of the running for Champions League qualification and it is unlikely the slide would be allowed to continue indefinitely. On Monday the club’s head of football, Raul Sanllehi, and the managing director, Vinai Venkatesham, told a meeting of 200 club staff at the Emirates Stadium that the manager retains their faith.
“We are as disappointed as everyone else with both our results and performances at this stage of the season. We share the frustration with our fans, Unai, players and all our staff as they are not at the level we want or expect,” read a precis of their comments, circulated by the club and issued in both men’s names.
“Things need to improve to meet our objectives for the season and we firmly believe Unai is the right man for the job, together with the backroom team we have in place. We are all working intensively behind the scenes to turn things around and are confident we will.”
The implication is that Emery, who spent Monday at a Uefa elite club coaches forum in Nyon, must get a tune out of his players soon if the club’s tone is not to shift. Successive matches against the bottom two, Southampton and Norwich, after the international break offer scope for at least a short-term upturn, as did an improved first hour at the King Power Stadium. But the atmosphere among fans is tense and those at the meeting, which was planned and not a reaction to recent events, also heard an appeal for unity.
“We never take our fantastic support for granted,” the statement attributed to Sanllehi and Venkatesham said. “We hope we can all stick together and get behind the team in this challenging period, as together we are stronger.”
Those words could be interpreted as an appeal directed towards, among others, the fans who jeered Granit Xhaka off the pitch during last month’s draw with Crystal Palace.
Xhaka’s reaction led to a chain of events that have included the midfielder being stripped of the captaincy and effectively declaring himself unavailable to play. He has largely kept his counsel since but told the newspaper Blick, in his native Switzerland, that he is now happy to come back.
“I feel that the incident has been dealt with and I’m ready to return,” Xhaka said. He also made clear his views on the reaction inside the stadium that led him to gesture and swear towards the crowd. “It was very hurtful and frustrating,” he continued. “I can’t understand a reaction like it even now, especially the vehemence of it and the extreme hostility directed against me.
“If the team and I don’t play well, we have to listen and work on it. But insulting and swearing at your own captain will cause upset and a bad atmosphere for the team you are actually supposed to be supporting. That makes no sense to me and weakens the team’s spirit.
“Let’s face it, we’re talking about football and a captaincy. I know that means the world to a lot of people here in London. But we’re at a point now where I have to say clearly that we ought to take stock and make sure things are not getting completely out of hand.”
Xhaka will spend the next week with Switzerland, who face Georgia and Gibraltar. On his return Emery, who last week suggested the midfielder might not play for Arsenal again, will have to decide whether his reintegration is a realistic prospect.

In the game of golf each hole has a par
meaning the average number of strokes
a golfer is expected to make in order to sink the ball in a hole to complete the play. Depending on how far above or below par
your strokes
are, there is a different nickname.
Your function will be passed par
and strokes
arguments. Return the correct string according to this table which lists the strokes in order of priority; top (highest) to bottom (lowest):
| Strokes | Return |
|---|---|
| 1 | “Hole-in-one!” |
| <= par - 2 | “Eagle” |
| par - 1 | “Birdie” |
| par | “Par” |
| par + 1 | “Bogey” |
| par + 2 | “Double Bogey” |
= par + 3 |
“Go Home!” |
par
and strokes
will always be numeric and positive. We have added an array of all the names for your convenience.

The key root zebkit UI component is “zebkit.ui.Panel”. Every zebkit UI component is an instance of “zebkit.ui.Panel” class. This class unifies all existent zebkit components with common API, event handling, metrics and behavior. Even if you instantiate a zebkit HTML component it will be represented as an instance of “zebkit.ui.Panel” class.
“zebkit.ui.Panel” is container, what means it can embeds other UI components as its children component. The children components are ordered with a alyout manager of the container has set.
Zebkit UI application is hierarchy of ordered with layout managers UI components that are rendered on HTML5 Canvas. To start building an application layout you have to instantiate zebkit canvas component (“zebkit.ui.zCanvas”). The instance is either bound to existent HTML5 Canvas element or dynamically creates HTML5 Canvas element in DOM tree:
zebkit.require("ui", "layout", function(ui, layout) {
// create HTML Canvas element where zebkit UI to host
// zebkit UI components hierarchy
var htmlCanvas = new ui.zCanvas(500, 400);
// to place UI components use root layer of
// created HTML canvas
var root = htmlCanvas.root;
// everything has to be ordered with rules
// so specify layout manager
root.setLayout(new layout.BorderLayout(8));
// add button zebkit component
root.add("bottom", new ui.Button("Hello zebkit"));
...
Below is shown simple zebkit application that shows hierarchy of UI components:
|
|
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
|
x,y setLocation(x,y) | component coordinates relatively to its parent component |
|
width,height
setSize(w,h) | component size and component size method setter |
| setBounds(x,y,w,h) | component bounds (location and size) setter |
|
getPreferredSize() setPreferredSize(w,h) | the size the component desires to have plus border and padding gaps. The getter method returns result as "{ width:intValue, height:intValue }" data structure. The "pure" preferred size of a component is calculated by its layout manager. Layout manager implements special "calcPreferredSize(comp)" method that does the calculation. The "pure" preferred size does not include border and padding gaps. |
|
left,right,top,bottom, setPaddings(t,l,r,b) setPadding(p) | component paddings and appropriate setters to setup the paddings. |
|
getLeft(),getRight() getTop(),getBottom() | calculated gaps as amount of padding and border sizes. |
|
getLeft(),getRight() getTop(),getBottom() | border gaps |
Zebra UI components are organized as hierarchy where every top level UI component can have 0 to N children UI components. To keep the hierarchy UI component API provides the following methods and fields:
| Method or field | Description |
|---|---|
|
parent | reference to parent component |
|
kids | array of children UI components |
|
add(component) | add a new children component |
|
add(constraints, component) | add a new children component with the given constraint |
|
set(constraints, component) | re-set existing children UI component with the given constraints or add new one if there is not a kid with the specified constraints |
|
insert(index, constraints, component) | insert a new kid component at the given index and constraints |
|
removeAt(index) | remove children component at the given index of "kids" array |
|
remove(comp) | remove the given children component |
|
removeAll() | remove all children components |
Every UI component defines a layout manager to layout its children components. Layout manager is special class that:
inherits “zebkit.layout.Layout” interface
Declare “calcPreferredSize(comp)” method to calculate component “pure” preferred size (the size that does not take in account border and padding gaps)
Declare “doLayout(comp)” method that knows how to place children components basing on some rules
Layout manager is mandatory. If an UI component has not defined a layout manager a default one is taken. The default layout manager doesn’t have any special rules to order children components. Actually it does nothing, what means component bounds (“x”, “y”, “width”, “height”) have effect.
For the sake of performance UI component saves its state to avoid redundant preferred size calculation, repainting and lay outing. The state can be valid or invalid. Developer can check the component state by accessing “isValid” boolean property. The following methods allow developers to control a component state:
invalidate() Call to invalidate a component metric and layout.
validate() Call to validate a component. Validation initiates the following actions:
Calculate component metrics (preferred size) if it is in invalid state. Developer can declare “recalc()” method in a UI component class that will be called every time the component metric has to be re-calculated. It supposed “recalc()” method should calculate some component specific metics that have influence to component preferred size.
In most cases developers should not care to much about UI component validation and invalidation. Proper invalidation and validation is implemented in particular UI component basing on its specific implementation. UI Component API methods do validation and invalidation when it is necessary. Just use it as is with no extra thought regarding its internal implementation.


LIFE OF BRIAN (1979)
Director: Terry Jones With: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam
In the BBC's satirical show "Not the 9 o'clock news", there was a sketch in which an anglican bishop has to defend himself from accusations that the general synod's latest movie "Life of Christ" is a blatant parody on Monty Python. The Life of Brian stirred up some controversy when it first came out, in Norway it was initially banned for blasphemy, and only released in 1982. What was all the fuss about? The second full-length motion picture from the English comedy-group Monty Python (Chapman, Cleese, Idle, Jones, Palin and Gilliam).
Their first film, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" tackled the Arthurian cycle from the Middle Ages. For this one, they turned to the new testament. A brilliant idea, and one certain to raise controversy. Some people will always think that the Bible simply shouldn't be a topic of comedy. Monty Python thought differently, and the result was a hilarious movie that is - at least to my mind - free of any real blasphemy. Christ himself is never treated with disrespect, indeed he is only a peripheral figure in this film. The comedy is mainly at the expense of ordinary people, in high places or in low, and the things that they do. And some of it is just plain crazy.
As one would expect, the film is basically one long sequence of sketches, tied together by the story of Brian (Graham Chapman). Brian is born in a stable in Bethlehem in the year 0. (Not _the_ stable though, that's the one next door!) His life is completely ordinary, until he joins the People's Front of Judea, an extreme terrorist organization, devoted to driving the Romans out, toppling the Roman Empire and then taking over the world. Romani ite domum! Eventually he is captured by the Romans, escapes and, completely randomly and involuntarily, gains a large following of people who believe he is the Messiah. And all he ever wanted to do was make an impression on the beautiful Judith...
Monty Python's style of comedy is one that you either love or hate. More precisely, you either become a fanatical devotee, and start tracking down tapes of all the TV-shows and movies, or you just don't understand what's so funny. The latter group seems to be in a minority though, and understandably so. Monty Python's comedy has something for all. One part physical comedy (John Cleese hopping, Terry Jones naked), one part verbal humour and word-plays, ("Blessed are the cheesemakers. Well, he was obviously referring to makers of dairy-products in general!") gently sprinkled with Terry Gilliam's crazy animations. And the diversity of characters: everything from the snobbish Romans to the dominating mother, to the haggling shopkeeper, to the would-be revolutionaries - all character-types we can instantly recognize from our own lives or our own societies.
Who should see this film: Anyone who has ever laughed, or wanted to laugh, at a comedy. A note to Christian fundamentalists: Remember that crucifixion _was_ a common punishment in the Roman Empire.
My verdict: 6 (out of 6)

| | 11 | Another unnecessary complex code is the following: |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | {{{ |
| | 14 | public void setReadOnly(final boolean flush) throws CoreException { |
| | 15 | if (fWritable) { |
| | 16 | fWritable= false; |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | ArrayList dirtyChunks= new ArrayList(); |
| | 19 | synchronized (fCache) { |
| | 20 | for (int i= chunks.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) { |
| | 21 | Chunk chunk= chunks[i]; |
| | 22 | if (chunk != null) { |
| | 23 | if (chunk.fCacheIndex < 0) { |
| | 24 | chunk.fLocked= false; |
| | 25 | chunks[i]= null; |
| | 26 | if (chunk.fDirty) { |
| | 27 | dirtyChunks.add(chunk); |
| | 28 | } |
| | 29 | } |
| | 30 | else if (chunk.fLocked) { |
| | 31 | if (!chunk.fDirty) { |
| | 32 | chunk.fLocked= false; |
| | 33 | } |
| | 34 | else if (flush) { |
| | 35 | chunk.fLocked= false; |
| | 36 | dirtyChunks.add(chunk); |
| | 37 | } |
| | 38 | } |
| | 39 | else if (flush && chunk.fDirty) { |
| | 40 | dirtyChunks.add(chunk); |
| | 41 | } |
| | 42 | } |
| | 43 | } |
| | 44 | } |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | if (!dirtyChunks.isEmpty()) { |
| | 47 | for (Iterator it = dirtyChunks.iterator(); it.hasNext();) { |
| | 48 | Chunk chunk = (Chunk) it.next(); |
| | 49 | chunk.flush(); |
| | 50 | } |
| | 51 | } |
| | 52 | } |
| | 53 | } |
| | 54 | }}} |
| | 55 | it all decides to flush a chunk only based on information that is part of each individual chunk. It would be better to just iterate all chunks, flush each and decide within Chunk.flush() if flushing is really needed. --> 50 lines of code less. OK, I see the cache synchronization is the reason, but even then the Chunk object should decide and not the other class. |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | But at least the if logic could be simplified a lot. but I wonder what happens in the missing else parts. |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | There is duplicated logic in setReadOnly and flush and I wonder if that is intentional. |
