Bill de hÓra on REST:
REST is about design constraints -- what you can't say. That's contrary to industry practice, where it's all about about getting cool new features piled on, and to heck with principles. If anything, most developers are cynical about architecture and architects. Developers, Developers, Developers. Give 'em what they want. Keep ornamenting the stack with pointy-clicky solution cruft.
There'll be a bit less of that. On the web, there are less assumptions you can make and those you can make are rigid and need to be treated as invariant. Developing for the web, as opposed to developing around it, is spartan work. Coming from middleware and enterprise development, could be a bit like coming from the Victorian ornateness and richness of Ruskin and Morris to the urban cold and minimalism of le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. It'll be disorienting at best.
This is why I think that continuation-based frameworks (Seaside being the quintessential example) are a dead-end. They are a giant workaround for the web. (Even Paul Graham thinks so, and it seems he may have invented the technique... but I shouldn't really present his off-handed remark as more than it is.)
The web is events. And asynchronous. And stateless. And you need to know this, you need to internalize this model as a programmer to work with the web. It isn't a GUI. So I don't think these (extremely clever) continuation-based synchronous layers on top of the asynchronous web are a good direction.
So what about the people that are trying to work around the statelessness by not closing the connection? Is comet a dead end?
It doesn't completely work around the http model in all scenarios, but it does have a fairly significant impact on how you think about communications while dom scripting.
I find vanilla web restrictive too, that's why I use Flash to maintain some state.
# Kevin Deenanauth
Er - you know that the internet is more than the web, right? For instance, I do a lot of code based on top of twisted, and a very, very small amount of it is web-based.
The approach used in something like twisted is still useful, even if the web didn't suck.
# Anthony Baxter
I don't think Twisted's use of continuations looks much like Seaside's. Twisted is very explicit about where a continuation is formed and returned (via Deferreds), while in Seaside it is entirely implicit. CherryFlow is the only system I'm aware of that does Seaside-style continuations (using Stackless).
# Ian Bicking
I should amend that -- Twisted's Athena probably is more like Seaside, though (I only know about them indirectly). But I also presume Athena is strictly for the web.
# Ian Bicking
Athena is a Divmod project, and has very little to do with Twisted (other than the fact that it uses it as a library).
# Moe Aboulkheir
IP is stateless. TCP is stateful. HTTP is stateless. Web apps are stateful.
See a pattern?
HTTP is just one layer in a stack of protocols, some of which are stateful, others of which are stateless. Stateful protocols coordinate state at the endpoints by exchanging messages over stateless protocols.
A web application NEEDS to maintain state for the person using the browser. It does that by maintaining coordinating state in the browser and server by exchanging messages over HTTP. How stateful the application needs to be depends on the application. It's an engineering trade-off, not a religious belief.
# Nat
I guess with respect to this specifically, I think the state should be stored explicitly by the application, not implicitly by the language or framework. In a continuation-based framework, state is captured in the form of the call stack, and stored transparently. Far too clever for me, and hides the developer from things the developer shouldn't and can't really be hidden from.
# Ian Bicking
Isn't this just another example on varying level of abstaction in different systems? To pick couple of (hopefully) non-controversial examples:
- do you feel comfortable relying on operating system to store the state of your process?
- do you trust on language to handle memory management automatically for you?
Whether the abstraction fits into a particular task might also be just a matter of how well it fits into one's mental model of the problem :)
# Tero Saarni
If the alternatively is manually coding in a spaghetti-ish continuation passing style-like way then give me continuations please.
# Nico
If the alternative is manually coding in a spaghetti-ish continuation passing style-like way then give me continuations please.
# Nico
The statement "the web is stateless" is a bit misleading, while I would have found something like "HTTP is stateless" more accurate. As said in the above comment, applications are usually stateful (they internally manage a link between a succession of events --HTTP requests--). HTTP requires the programmers to handle this state (the link between a sequence of HTTP requests) internally (which is done with cookies).
Take SIP for instance, you will see that this protocol explicitely stores state (the notion of "Transaction" and "Session" to which requests and sequences of request belong), which is quite helpful... but can also be done internally on top of HTTP.
Now, regarding continuations, they are simply a way to "slice" a process and to automatically weave and rejoin the slices together, so that the programmer does not have to carry the burden of finding where the program was last interupted. They offer a process-based (or "dynamic"-base perspective) as opposed to a state-based (or "static"-based) perspective, as it is the case with most framework.
So it's rather a matter of perspective, instead of a implementation -- and then I wouldn't say that this perspective is a dead-end, it is just different, and IMHO closer if not more fitted to the domain of communications, from which the Web stems.
There is a conversation between Marco Baringer (who has written his own continuation based web framework) and Dave Roberts that you might find interesting: http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/docs/html/rest/rest.html
# anonymous
I would realy like to know how this (apperently) stateless commenting system is working. Usualy I would imagine that my comment was stored somewhere as part of the state of the program that generates this webbpage. But as the net is stateless i guess thats wrong. But I just cant grasp how else it could work.

BeDigitalG is a continuous series of conferences, (weekly) evening talks, workshops and hackathons. Speakers and coaches should be digital champions (from in or outside of government). This is also an opportunity for startups to get more involved with government and for bigger companies to follow new trends.
BeDigitalG will focus on digital skills in order to achieve interdisciplinar improvements regarding operational efficiency and open data.
In November 4 two hour meetups will be organized. There will be one or more interesting speakers on a digital related topic and there will be an even interesting audience interacting with the speakers.
Digital transformation is a hot topic all over the world. Traditionally governments were lagging but in recent years countries such as the UK and the US have become very vocal on their efforts in all things digital.
More or less every popular startup nowadays tries to follow the lean startup methodology in order to become successful and grow. But what exactly is the Lean Startup methodology? Can a government and its civil servants learn anything from it?
Your organisation generates data. Your organisation consumes data in one way or the other. However, does your organisation use data in an optimal way?
Concepts such as Open Data and Public Service Information (PSI) will become very important in the years to come. Not only because it will mandated from the European governance levels, but also because citizens will demand easy access to those data.
Coderdojo’s are training events to learn children how to code. Organising coderdojo’s for civil servants will be very valuable as well.
Fix a bug (code, documentation...) in an open source product used by your administration.
How to publish open data on data.gov.be? How to consume open data?
Focus on specific data set(s). The first event should explain how to organise a hackathon.
Case studies of UK, USA, Netherlands, France, …
Talk about understanding the end user, customer development, business model canvas, value proposition canvas, minimum viable product (MVP), …
Not every service has access to a business analyst fluent in process design and service design. However, a simpler process often leads to a better service.
Map and try to get existing initiatives connected.
What is digital marketing? How does social media fit within digital marketing? How to use digital communication to improve the citizen - government relationship?
Great digital products offer a great user experience (UX). How to design and construct a great user experience?
Privacy and Security in a digital world may seem the same but they are in fact two different things. Data Protection?
How to innovate? How not to innovate?
What is big data? How does it compare to data science? The importance of data visualisation.
Belgian startups and bigger companies present what they’re working on and how their products or services may help the government to become better.
HR2.0, HR analytics, …
Built with, not for. How to give everyone the chance to contribute and open up closed source workflows. Make it possible to share code. Decrease same code being written a second time at taxpayer's expense.
Fuck-up Nights started in Mexico. On such events, entrepreneurs talk about their failures. Civil servants can do the same.

Effective reading instruction for students who struggle requires research-based solutions that make them motivated to learn. The most effective solutions are those that follow the structured literacy approach. Endorsed by the International Dyslexia Association, structured literacy is not only vital for students with dyslexia, but research has found it is effective for all students.

XCLIP(1) XCLIP(1) NAME xclip - command line interface to X selections (clipboard) SYNOPSIS xclip [OPTION] [FILE]... DESCRIPTION Reads from standard in, or from one or more files, and makes the data available as an X selection for pasting into X applications. Prints cur‐ rent X selection to standard out. -i, -in read text into X selection from standard input or files (default) -o, -out print the selection to standard out (generally for piping to a file or program) -f, -filter when xclip is invoked in the in mode with output level set to silent (the defaults), the filter option will cause xclip to print the text piped to standard in back to standard out unmodified -l, -loops number of X selection requests (pastes into X applications) to wait for before exiting, with a value of 0 (default) causing xclip to wait for an unlimited number of requests until another applica‐ tion (possibly another invocation of xclip) takes ownership of the selection -t, -target specify a particular data format using the given target atom. With -o the special target atom name "TARGETS" can be used to get a list of valid target atoms for this selection. For more infor‐ mation about target atoms refer to ICCCM section 2.6.2 -d, -display X display to use (e.g. "localhost:0"), xclip defaults to the value in $DISPLAY if this option is omitted -h, -help show quick summary of options -selection specify which X selection to use, options are "primary" to use XA_PRIMARY (default), "secondary" for XA_SECONDARY or "clipboard" for XA_CLIPBOARD -version show version information -silent fork into the background to wait for requests, no informational output, errors only (default) -quiet show informational messages on the terminal and run in the fore‐ ground -verbose provide a running commentary of what xclip is doing -noutf8 operate in legacy (i.e. non UTF-8) mode for backwards compatibil‐ ity (Use this option only when really necessary, as the old behav‐ ior was broken) xclip reads text from standard in or files and makes it available to other X applications for pasting as an X selection (traditionally with the middle mouse button). It reads from all files specified, or from standard in if no files are specified. xclip can also print the contents of a selection to standard out with the -o option. xclip was designed to allow tighter integration of X applications and command line programs. The default action is to silently wait in the background for X selection requests (pastes) until another X application places data in the clipboard, at which point xclip exits silently. You can use the -verbose option to see if and when xclip actually receives selection requests from other X applications. Options can be abbreviated as long as they remain unambiguous. For exam‐ ple, it is possible to use -d or -disp instead of -display. However, -v couldn't be used because it is ambiguous (it could be short for -verbose or -version), so it would be interpreted as a filename. Note that only the first character of the selection specified with the -selection option is important. This means that "p", "sec" and "clip" would have the same effect as using "primary", "secondary" or "clipboard" respectively.  Then middle click in an X application to paste. xclip -loops 10 -verbose /etc/motd Exit after /etc/motd (message of the day) has been pasted 10 times. Show how many selection requests (pastes) have been processed. xclip -o > helloworld.c Put the contents of the selection into a file. xclip -t text/html index.html Middle click in an X application supporting HTML to paste the contents of the given file as HTML. ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY X display to use if none is specified with the -display option. REPORTING BUGS Please report any bugs, problems, queries, experiences, etc. directly to the author.

HOW TO PLAY: Simply drag and drop the pieces onto the grid to make vertical and horizontal lines.
When you make a line it disappears! The more lines you clear at once, the more points you get!
You can place Flashing Pieces onto existing pieces to make them disappear!
Just make sure you have enough room to place new pieces, or you lose!

If you are using nagios to monitor your applications in production, you might have faced the need to regularly configure Nagios with constantly changing PIDs.
We used nagios for monitoring and everytime application servers like tomcat are restarted, nagios needs to be re-configured with new PID. This involves a bit of manual intervention every time and needs the same steps to be followed for re-configuration. Hence why not automate?
Here are the steps that would work to automatically perform this task for tomcat :
Configuring Tomcat to persist PID
Update the setenv.sh add these two lines at the beginning of the script
Make sure CATALINA_BASE is the directory where tomcat is present and verify that CATALINA_BASE is reachable.
Sample :
Setting up password-less SSH Login
In order to let nagios periodically poll using SSH application servers to check for updated PID, it would need to configure SSH Key-Based Authentication on nagios server. The detailed steps are listed here
Updating Nagios Configuration
Nagios configuration files are structured file where each block is easily parseable. Pynag has python modules and utilities for reading and updating Nagios configuration. Following are the steps that a shell script needs to achieve :
Declare all hosts, PID paths for which nagios configuration has to be reloaded.
Get the latest PID by SSHing to the host.
Use Pynag to get the current PID
Use Pynag to update the PID if PID has changed
Reload nagios
Here is the crude shell script to do the above steps
Setting up cron job
The last step to automate would be to setup a cron job to execute this shell script periodically.

Implements several character commands for the Yarn scripts to use.
These commands are specific to manipulating characters. General commands are in the StageCommands class.
Note that, whenever you have a name of an asset (e.g. an animation) which contains a space, you must wrap it in double quotes.
For any command with options such as now, quickly, and slowly, these options control the relative speed of the movement. Note that the exact speed depends on the command being used.
For commands with wait or and wait options, those will cause the dialogue system to pause until the command finishes being carried out. This does nothing if now is also used. Also be careful of combining this with slowly too often; that might make things draggy.
| void Dialogue.VN.CharacterCommands.Addon | ( | string [] | args | ) |
<<addon CHARACTER [lingering|clear] ADDON>>
<<addon CHARACTER clear>>
Applies the ADDON to CHARACTER, where ADDON is the name of an addon specified on Unity.
Addons usually have some animation tied to them. Once the animation is done playing, the addon will vanish.
However, specifying lingering will cause the addon stay until clear is used.
Specifying clear without ADDON will clear all lingering addons.
<<addon Ai !!!bubble>> AI: The what?!
Give Ai a the "!!!bubble" addon. It will vanish after the addon's animation finishes. (And can vanish while the dialogue is still being written out.)
<<addon Ai lingering !!!bubble>> AI: The what?! AMI: Ai, he’s joking, but he has a point. <<addon Ai clear !!!bubble>>
Give Ai a the "!!!bubble" addon. In this case, the addon will persist until the second command is reached.
<<addon Ai lingering !!!bubble>> AI: The what?! AMI: Ai, he’s joking, but he has a point. <<addon Ai clear>>
Same as before.
<<addon Ai lingering !!!bubble>> <<addon Ai lingering sweat>> AI: The what?! AMI: Ai, he’s joking, but he has a point. <<addon Ai clear>>
Give Ai a the "!!!bubble" addon and sweat addons. In this case, the clear command will remove all addons.
| void Dialogue.VN.CharacterCommands.Animate | ( | string [] | args | ) |
<<animate CHARACTER ANIMATION [and wait]>>
Make CHARACTER play ANIMATION, where ANIMATION is the case-insensitive name of a character animation that has been created in Unity. These animations can either be one-off or looping; it depends on the animation.
The None animation can be used to stop all current animations. If an invalid animation is given, Unity throws an error and treats it like None was used instead.
If and wait is given for a looping animation, the animation is allowed to play once before the dialogue runner continues.
<<animate Ibuki Shake>>
Make Ibuki play the "Shake" animation.
<<animate Ibuki Shake and wait>>
Make Ibuki play the "Shake" animation, and prevent any more dialogue boxes from playing until Ibuki finishes with the animation.
<<animate Ibuki None>>
Stop whatever animation Ibuki is playing, if any.
| void Dialogue.VN.CharacterCommands.Emote | ( | string [] | args | ) |
<<emote CHARACTER EMOTION>>
Changes CHARACTER's face to show EMOTION, where EMOTION is the (case-insensitive) name of one of the character's emotions.
Each character has their own range of emotions; some may have special emotions, and others might be missing some of the common ones. The list is configured in Unity.
Here's the list of common emotions:
Finally, there's one special emotion: None. This clears all emotions, resetting the character back to their default, neutral face that they use when they first come onto the stage. The None emotion will always be available.
Using an invalid emotion will print an error in the debug console and then act as though you had used None instead.
<<emote Ibuki Laugh>>
Make Ibuki Laugh.
<<emote Ibuki None>>
Return Ibuki to her default emotion.
| void Dialogue.VN.CharacterCommands.Fade | ( | string [] | args | ) |
<<fade in CHARACTER POSITION [now|quickly|slowly] [and wait]>>
<<fade out CHARACTER [now|quickly|slowly] [and wait]>>
In the first form, causes CHARACTER to fade into view at POSITION.
In the second form, causes CHARACTER to fade out of view.
<<fade in Nimura Right slowly>> NIMURA: I'm fading in right now!
Fades Nimura in at the right position. Dialogue starts printing as the fade goes on. "slowly" is optional, and makes her linger longer.
<<fade in Nimura Right and wait>> NIMURA: I just faded in.
Fades Nimura in at the right position. Dialogue doesn't print until the fade finishes.
<<fade out Nimura quickly>> NIMURA: Gotta run!
Fades Nimura out quickly.
| void Dialogue.VN.CharacterCommands.Move | ( | string [] | args | ) |
<<move CHARACTER [to] TO_POINT [from FROM_POINT] [now|slowly|quickly] [and wait]>>
(Continued; see subsection)
Causes CHARACTER to slide over to TO_POINT. If FROM_POINT is specified, the character will warp there before moving. If trying to move a character into view, please make sure to specify FROM_POINT. Otherwise, your character may start somewhere you weren't expecting!
Points are created in Unity and are listed in the "puppetPoints" variable. For this reason, the number and names of points is flexible, and could possibly change. Current points PROBABLY are: offleft, left, middle, right, offright
If two or more characters end up on the same point, then they'll "stack," with their positions being staggered so they aren't all on the same position.
Note that this is still in development. More details on how this looks/works once that's done.
<<move CHARACTER [to] TO_POINT [from FROM_POINT] [now|slowly|quickly] [and wait] [and pull|push TARGET1 [, TARGET2, TARGET3, ...] [to TARGET_POSITION]]>>
If pull or push is given, then every TARGET gets pulled/pushed by CHARACTER. It's possible to push/pull several targets at a time, separating their names with spaces.
By default, each TARGET ends up on the same spot as CHARACTER. However, if TARGET_POSITION is also specified, then all TARGETs end up there.
The assumption is that CHARACTER will move past every TARGET. Any TARGETs which CHARACTER does not go past won't be pushed. (This is subject to change?)
<<move Ibuki Middle and wait>>
Move Ibuki to the middle (from wherever she was before). The VN will wait until Ibuki finishes moving.
<<move Ibuki to Middle>>
Same as before, except without the waiting. (And it looks a little more like English.)
<<move Ibuki Middle now>>
Same as before, but Ibuki will "teleport" to the middle.
<<move Ibuki to Left from OffLeft>>
Move Ibuki from the off the left edge of the screen to the left position. Use something like this if the character was off screen.
<<move Ibuki to Middle and push Nimura to Left and push Ami to OffLeft>>
Move Ibuki to the middle.
When Ibuki reaches Nimura, Nimura will be forced over to the left.
When Ibuki reaches Ami, Ami will be forced off the left edge.
<<move Ibuki to Middle and push Nimura, Ami to Left>>
Move Ibuki to the middle.
When Ibuki reaches Nimura and/or Ami, they will both be to the Left position.
| void Dialogue.VN.CharacterCommands.Outfit | ( | string [] | args | ) |
<<outfit CHARACTER COSTUME>>
Make CHARACTER where COSTUME, where COSTUME is a (case-insensitive) name for one of CHARACTER's costumes.
Costumes are specified within Unity, so their names aren't fixed. However, every character will have a default VR and RL costumes. Normally, characters will enter the stage with their RL costume, but this may be configured with outfit-all.
If COSTUME is None or an invalid costume, the character's default costume is used instead. (Again, default is controlled via outfit-all.)
Note that changing costumes is instant. Making characters change while they're on screen might be strange; get them off the screen first. (If you need characters changing on screen with some animation involved, let a coder know!)
<<outfit Ibuki VR>>
Make Ibuki wear her default VR outfit.
<<outfit Ibuki None>>
Make Ibuki wear her current default costume.
| void Dialogue.VN.CharacterCommands.OutfitAll | ( | string [] | args | ) |
<<outfit-all [VR|RL] [default-only]>>
Make all characters wear either their VR or RL costumes. This also changes all incoming characters to have on their VR/RL costume.
If default-only is specified, loaded characters will not have their costume changed. (Note: all characters who have been used in the scene are loaded, even if they're not visible!)
<<outfit-all VR>>
Make all characters wear their virtual reality outfits.
<<outfit-all RL default-only>>
Make all future characters wear their real-life outfits.
| void Dialogue.VN.CharacterCommands.Turn | ( | string [] | args | ) |
<<turn CHARACTER DIRECTION>>
Causes CHARACTER to face in DIRECTION, where DIRECTION is either "left" or "right" (DIRECTION is case-insensitive).
<<turn Ibuki Right>>
Make Ibuki face towards the right.

the active window:
Accessing the Online Help from the MATLAB Command Window
As the CARNOT Toolbox is written for the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment, MATLAB is always active. So you can change to the MATLAB Command Window at any time. To access the manual from the command window, there are two possibilities that are controlled and executed by the M-file
helpcarnot.m
which is found in your CARNOT directory:
[CARNOT]\public\src_m\
Typing the command
helpcarnot
in the MATLAB command window opens the Online help manual.
Typing the command

Another possibility is to open the manual directly in the
browser without launching MATLAB.
The files of the manual are located in the directory
[CARNOT]\public\tutorial\doc\manual.html
The CARNOT Toolbox is a library for MATLAB/SIMULINK. It contains elements that are
required for the simulation and calculation of conventional and renewable energy
systems.
The CARNOT Toolbox provides tools for the easy design, analysis and simulation
of energy systems for use both in the conventional field as well as the field of
regenerative systems, with components like solar collectors. Because of the
mathematical features of MATLAB and the simplicity of the SIMULINK block diagram
interface, it is a powerful tool for all engineers involved in the field of
domestic heating and similar areas.
The structure of the CARNOT Toolbox is similar to SIMULINK itself. The elements are organized in blocksets that contain the blocks of one subject. There are blocksets that contain the models of the components of energy systems (like pumps, storage tanks etc.) and other blocksets to observe and display the simulation results.
The toolbox has the following features that bring some advantages to actual simulations in the field of energy systems:
The CARNOT Library contains the fundamental blocksets for heating system components. The blocks available in the CARNOT Library allow for sophisticated modelling, as the parameters of the blocks can be customized by the user.
Blocks for the calculation of material properties
and basic functions are included which are useful tools for simulating thermal
processes.
The CARNOT Library was developed for advanced application in complex models.
There are several options to build up systems and define parameters.
The CARNOT library consists of the following blocksets:
Figure 1.1 : The CARNOT Library
In the following section, an overview of the included blocksets is given. For a more detailed description of the blocks’ features consult the Block Reference at the end of this manual.
Basic
The “Basic” blockset contains some useful function for the calculation of fluid dynamic values and characteristic numbers, e.g. the Reynolds- or Prandtl number, and the velocity or pressure_drop.
Basic\Material_Properties
In this subsection of the “Basic” blockset the material
properties of the basic heating fluids are calculated in functions that are
collected in the
Carlib Library.
The Library actually contains functions for the calculation of the following fluids:
Visualization blocks for displaying the mass flow rate, the
temperature and the pressure included in the
THB (Thermo-Hydraulic-Bus)
which contains all the information about the actual state of the fluid and is
passed from block to block, during the simulation.
In this blockset the models for weather simulation can be
found. Weather data
is required for the input values for a large number of blocks, for example as
input values to the collector in the form of radiation data. Weather data is
processed for different time periods, from monthly average values to hourly
values. The pre-processing weather generator includes discrete models for the
weather variables radiation, temperature, relative humidity and wind speed.
Blocks for the processing and adaptation of weather data
are included, e.g. recalculation of radiation data on inclined surfaces and
adding azimuth and zenith angle of the sun for a specified location.
The part in Sources/Simple corresponds to the SIMULINK Sources Blockset. The
Blockset "Sources" contains models of
various heat sources for energy systems, for example heat exchangers, heat Pumps
and electric heating. Renewable components are included, with a solar flat plate
collector and a parabolic trough collector. You may adapt the collector model to
other collector-types (see "specifying the collector from the subsystem").
This blockset sports elementary hydraulic elements which are
found in house heating systems used to build hydraulic circuits. The common
hydraulic elements such as valves, Tee-pieces and pipe connections are
contained. The hydraulic sources can be found here (e. g. pump and thermosyphon
blocks).
The pumps differ in the way they calculate the mass flow rate. Different models
for the pump characteristics include pumps with constant mass flow rate, pumps
with customizable characteristic, pumps with manufacturer fitted characteristics
and as mentioned above pumps with a thermosyphon.
This blockset is consists of different kinds of water and
ground storage tanks. Various models are included from a simple water storage
system to storages with heat exchangers and water supply at
user definable positions, as well as two ground storage models.
This blockset contains some hydraulic and thermal loads,
like houses, rooms and water taps.
Note: Radiators are to be found under Source\Heat_Exchanger
The blockset contains blocks from the measuring and control
domain. Sensor blocks are included for temperature, mass flow and climatic
conditions. The temperature sensors come without a time delay to model the real
behaviour of measurement cycles.
This Blockset contains a PV generator and an inverter model.
Blocks awaiting their validation process can be found here. To be used with caution.
Use the library in the same way as you would use SIMULINK. If you are not familiar with building models in SIMULINK have a look at the SIMULINK help.
Open the CARNOT Library by typing
in the MATLAB command window. Open a new model from the file menu. Drag and drop the blocks from the library into your system.
Components are connected with a Thermo-Hydraulic Bus (THB), the common data structure to represent a fluid in the CARNOT
Toolbox. This vector contains all necessary information about the flow and the
energy transfer associated with it.
To compute and display a specific physical value using the bus, special blocks
have been built that extract the desired physical value from the THB
automatically, e.g. there are displays that extract only the temperature from
the THB input (contained in the blockset
Outputs).
As CARNOT performs calculations of hydraulics and heat
transfer simultaneously, you have to ensure that both aspects of the flow are
considered. Thus a cycle has to contain a hydraulic source
in every case, i.e. a pump or the water tap, otherwise an error message of an
erroneous feedback connection will appear.
If you would like to simulate thermal systems, a thermal source , e. g. a collector or a heat exchanger has to be included in your
model. The hydraulic and thermal state of the flow is calculated in every
block. The hydraulic side is
a somehow simplified model (see the different models of the
pumps). The
heat_source blocks are not essential for the function of the calculation, but if
you want to analyse thermal systems, heat sources have to be included.
Take care, that you connect the right input ports to the corresponding output
port of the preceding block, since there is no checking for consistency.
If you feed, for example, the power consumption of a pump to the temperature
setpoint "Tset" inlet port of a thermostatic valve, no error message appears as
long as the number of expected input arguments of this port corresponds to the
number of values fed to this inlet port.
The systems built with CARNOT are prone to algebraic loops and stiff differential equations. In general, the use of a stiff solver will help to get faster convergence. Check your results using a different solver (Dormand-Prince should be reference).
In order to split the fluid stream, it is necessary to use a diverting component such as one of the flow diverters and downstream a mixing block, e. g. the flow mixer which are both contained in the Hydraulics blockset. Pay particular attention to the block ports, because in cycles with flow diversion there is often a feedback of information, for example the diverting factor (in fixed rate components) or the pressure drop (in components with variable diversion factor) from the mixing component to the diverting component.
To learn more about the calculation system of circuits with flow distribution over two or more branches read the paragraph on pressure drop in the next chapter.
NOTE If you do long-running simulations with CARNOT, do not forget to switch-off saving Workspace Variables, since these options take up a lot of memory space under these circumstances (typical simulated time period in the order of a year)
The CARNOT Toolbox contains examples or demonstrations to give a first impression of how a model could look, and demonstrate how components are connected and how the output is displayed. To run a demonstration double-click on the "Load Examples" Block in the CARNOT Library. Choose an example from the Explorer Window that opens.

IHM A GUI for image annotation
Andres Perez-Uribe
Hector Satizabal
Axel Fahy
SAP GUI for the gold version Apple Watch ?
(from mindsetconsulting blog)"A picture is worth a thousand words.
An interface is worth a thousand pictures."Ben Shneiderman
The goal of this laboratory is to build Graphical User Interfaces while considering the fundamental principles of design, proposed by Don Norman. The project can be realised using Qt, Kivy or any library you are familiar with.
A GUI for image annotation
Within the context of a Machine Learning project for developing an application capable of locating and identifying objects in an image, you need to provide a dataset of "labelled" or "annotated" images.  Such a database is then used to train, for instance an artificial neural network (or any other Machine Learning algorithm), which takes advantage of that database to offer the capability of locating and identifying the kind of objects we labelled (provided that they share some features) in new images.
The objective of this laboratory is to develop a GUI that must allow the user to annotate multiple objects in an image. Suppose you have a collection of images to annotate in a given folder.
The user must be able to select the region of the image containing the object and assign it a label. Multiple objects, hence labels might be present on the image.
Here are some examples of images to annotate:
You can use the Wang image database that you can download from Cyberlearn to have some images to annotate.
The program must be able to generate an output file describing for each image the labels that have been annotated and where the item is located.
Example of possible outputs:
Image Objects Coordinates ~/Images/image01.jpg [cat, horse] [[(2, 2), (2, 50), (100, 2), (100, 50)], [(13, 80), (13, 200), (300, 80), (300, 200)]] ~/Images/image02.jpg [dog] [[(27, 24), (27, 77), (155, 24), (155, 77)]] ... ... ... This is just an example of a possible format for the output, if you find a better way to display those information, don't hesitate.
The GUI must contain:
A menu item allowing to exit the application A button allowing to select an input image file A button allowing to select an output file A text field allowing to edit the name of the output file A button to add new labels A way to define the region on the image A way to attribute a label to the selected region A way to select multiple regions on the image with different labels A way to remove a selection in case of error A way to save what the user has selected on the image The GUI must give feedback to the user concerning:
Whether the input file is valid Whether the output file already exists or not The region of the image selected by the user for the attribution of the label The GUI must fulfill the requirements in the checklist of design considerations (after Don Norman) presented during the last lesson. You can modify the type of interface: button, menu, slider, etc. proposed in the first list if you consider it to be more appropriate.
1. Sketch
Prepare a sketch of your user interface and send it via Cyberlearn before Tuesday 8th October, before midnight
User interface sketching is a kind of drawing on a paper... but it is not only a simple drawing. Its purpose is to reveal the result of problem-solving thinking. It communicates the idea to other people. Drawings do not have to be pretty, but they must help you validate your idea. Sketches must also reveal the user flow, thus you may provide multiple pages of drawings illustrating the dynamics of the interface. Nevertheless, your interface might change during development.2. GUI implementation
The project can be realised using Qt, Kivy or any library you are familiar with. In order to guide you towards the implementation of the GUI, we provide you with two starting guides for Qt and Kivy. Qt uses C++ here, and Kivy is based on Python, which is a language you will be using a lot next semester.
3. Report
Please, provide a brief report (max. 4 pages) presenting and accompanying your GUI. Present the issues tackled by your solution and justify your choices. Provide your code within a zip file indicating your names. Demo of your interface: Tuesday 4th November, 2019 before midnight

--- layout: newsstory title: ANOTHER NAIL match: Yeltz 0 Weymouth 2 ---
It isn't going to happen. Another loss in a game we just had to win, and despite playing reasonably well at times that's 4 losses in a row and we're deservedly bottom of the league .
We looked quite dangerous in the first half and we were a little unlucky to be behind - but how often have we said that recently? In the second half we never looked like getting back into it, and a late second for the visitors killed off any hopes of recovery. With Folkestone beating Dorchester we're now 10 points from safety with only 9 games left .
Saturday brings a long trip to fellow strugglers Dorchester , stoopidly still kicking off at 3pm despite the England game being on at the same time. This really is the last chance, but to be honest even if we do win it's unlikely we can get safe. Still, positive vibes and all that.

UNITED NATIONS FRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE
TUNISIA
AUGUST 2015
Page 1
Page 2
This document summarizes the intended nationally determined contributions (INDC) of Tunisia for the purposes of its submission to the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The report has been drawn up in accordance with decision 1/CP.20 (Lima call for climate action), which specifically draws attention, in paragraph 14, to the clarity, transparency and understanding of the INDC reports. It is based on important models and calculations of emissions reductions in various sectors, as well as ways of identifying and evaluating adaptation measures.
The document was drafted through broad cooperation between the main stakeholders involved in the topic of climate change in Tunisia, including public institutions, the private sector and civil society. Tunisia’s contributions were also by and large developed on the basis of existing sectoral and horizontal strategies, such as the national climate change strategy, drawn up in 2012; the energy efficiency strategy; the Tunisian Solar Plan and the adaptation strategies of a range of sectors and fields (coast, agriculture, water resources, health, tourism, and so on).
In its contribution, Tunisia proposes reducing its greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors (energy; industrial processes; agriculture, forestry and other land use; waste) in order to lower its carbon intensity by 41 per cent in 2030, relative to the base year 2010. Mitigation efforts will particularly centre on the energy sector, which alone accounts for 75 per cent of the emissions reductions contributing to this decrease in carbon intensity. As part of the energy transition policy advocated by the State, it is estimated that the energy sector will reduce its carbon intensity in 2030 by 46 per cent compared with 2010.
Tunisia, which has already made significant strides towards mitigation in its baseline, is looking to reduce its carbon intensity unconditionally and through its own efforts by 13 per cent compared to 2010, i.e. by around 1/3 of its INDC. To achieve the rest of its objective, i.e. an additional drop in carbon intensity of 28 per cent in 2030 compared to 2010, Tunisia is relying on the support of the international community for funding, capacity building and technology transfer.
The reduction in emissions compared to the baseline scenario would be in the order of 26 million tCO2eq in 2030, and 207 million tCO2eq for the period 2015-2030.
Implementation of the Tunisian contribution towards mitigation requires substantial funds to be mobilized - an estimated 18 billion US dollars - to cover investment needs and finance capacity building programmes.
The national effort required to achieve Tunisia’s unconditional contribution is estimated at nearly 10 per cent of the total mitigation investment needs. The national effort exclusively concerns the energy sector, which accounts for the most significant part of the investment needs.
In terms of adaptation, Tunisia remains very vulnerable to the global warming anticipated in the region and the corresponding implications of major increases in temperature, reduced precipitation and rising sea levels. The socio-economic and environmental impact will particularly affect water resources, agriculture, natural and artificial ecosystems, the coastline, health and tourism.
The additional costs of the necessary adaptation measures for these sectors and fields will come to some 2 billion dollars and should be borne completely by the international community as part of the global fight against climate change.
Altogether, the total additional financing required for mitigation and adaptation would be around 20 billion US dollars to fund investment requirements and capacity building.
Tunisia is situated in North Africa, covering an area of some 164,000 km² and with a 1,300 km coastline on the Mediterranean Sea. The climate is particularly arid and variable, with precipitation ranging from 800 mm per year in the north to 150 mm per year in the south.
Page 3
The population growth rate has steadily been dropping, reaching 1 per cent per year during the past decade. Tunisia had some 11 million inhabitants in 2014, whereas it had 9.9 million in 2004.
Tunisia is considered to be one of the countries most exposed to climate change in the Mediterranean. The main risks which it is likely to confront are temperature increases, reduced precipitation, rising sea levels and escalating extreme weather phenomena (floods and droughts). These risks are likely to result in major environmental and socio-economic vulnerability.
Tunisia is aware of these challenges and has adopted a proactive policy of fighting climate change, both in terms of mitigation and adaptation.
Moreover, as Tunisia actively supports international efforts to combat climate change, it has delivered on all of its commitments to the UNFCCC, the last of which was the submission of the first biennial report in December 2014.
In addition, in the wake of the political changes triggered in December 2010, Tunisia adopted a new constitution on 26 January 2014, which incorporated the fight against climate change as a permanent feature. Under Article 44 of the new constitution, the State shall “provide the means necessary to guarantee a healthy and balanced environment and contribute to the climate’s integrity”.
The policy of fighting climate change is particularly emphasized in the energy sector. It is the case that, despite Tunisia’s efforts to manage its energy over the past three decades, the energy system is today facing significant challenges:
To meet these challenges, the Tunisian authorities have decided, since 2013, to forge ahead with an energy transition process based on an unprecedented strengthening of the energy management agenda and its two pillars of energy efficiency and renewable energies. This transition agenda aims for a reduction in primary energy demand of 30 per cent by 2030 compared to the baseline scenario, and a penetration rate of 30 per cent for renewable energies in electricity production.

2015-2030
2010
The aim of Tunisia’s contribution in the area of mitigation is to reduce its carbon intensity by 41 per cent compared to 2010. Carbon intensity is calculated as the relationship between the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions (expressed in tons of CO2 equivalent) and the GDP, with 2005 set as a continuous baseline.
In the specific sector of energy, Tunisia aims to reduce its carbon intensity by 46 per cent compared to 2010 levels.
Tunisia’s unconditional contribution corresponds to a 13 per cent reduction in carbon intensity, with 2010 as the base year, or around 1/3 of the overall objective.
The conditional contribution allows for an additional decrease of 28 per cent in carbon intensity, with 2010 as the base year.
The graph below represents the trajectory of Tunisia’s conditional and unconditional contribution for the period 2015-2030:
Trajectory of Tunisia’s conditional and unconditional contribution for the period 2015-2030
Tunisia, as a Non-Annex I Party to the UNFCCC, shall actively contribute to the planetary effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Tunisia considers its contribution to be fair and ambitious on three fundamental grounds:
| Geographical coverage | The entire country |
|---|---|
| % of national emissions covered by mitigation efforts | 100 per cent of the emissions of 2010 |
| Target sectors | Energy; industrial processes; agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU); waste |
| Target gases | CO2, CH4 and N2O |
The mitigation objective would require a large total investment amount to be mobilized - around 17.5 billion US dollars over the period 2015-2030 - distributed among the following sectors:
Funding needs to support the INDC scenario for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions (millions of US dollars)
| SECTORS/FIELDS | Total |
|---|---|
| Energy | 14,917 |
| Energy efficiency | 6,991 |
| Renewable energy | 7,926 |
| Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) | 1,533 |
| Agriculture | 967 |
| Forestry and other land use | 566 |
| Waste | 972 |
| Solid waste | 70 |
| Sanitation | 902 |
| TOTAL | 17,422 |
Around 85 per cent of the funding needs would have to be mobilized for the energy sector: 40 per cent for energy efficiency and 45 per cent for renewable energies.
The capacity-building measures required to facilitate achievement of the INDC objective include, inter alia, training stakeholders, institutional development, technical assistance for sectoral mitigation programmes and support for R&D and innovation.
The total cost of covering capacity-building needs is estimated at about 523 million US dollars for the period 2015-2030, the majority of which will be earmarked for the energy sector (about 450 million US dollars).
In addition, technology transfer programmes will be required to allow Tunisia to gain access to know-how and appropriate industrial means in order to ensure the sustainability of its contribution. These transfers may take the form, for example, of industrial partnerships with parties holding the technologies. The Conference of the Parties to the Convention should also develop appropriate mechanisms to facilitate these transfers, depending on the specific needs for each mitigation measure adopted.
In the energy sector, some of the international financial support should serve to bolster the Energy Transition Fund (FTE).[1] This fund was established by the Tunisian State in 2014 as a central instrument for implementing its energy transition agenda.
Finally, the international effort will also focus on the funding of capacity building and technology transfer programmes.
To support the financing needs of its mitigation objective, Tunisia would like to use carbon market mechanisms in addition to the direct financial supports listed above, particularly for the following programmes:
The preparatory phases for the INDC were already under way in July 2014 with the launch of a series of consultation workshops bringing together the main stakeholders involved in the climate change process (public administration, civil society, private sector and industry experts).
This process has gathered momentum since publication of the Lima COP20 decisions defining the rules for achieving the INDCs and for their content. The consultation process continued until validation.
In its standard development agenda, Tunisia is already striving to mitigate its greenhouse gas emissions in all of the key sectors which generate them: (i) The country has continuously pursued a proactive energy management policy for some 30 years and has one of the lowest energy intensities in the Middle East/ North Africa region, (ii) It has achieved major accomplishments in the reforestation and preservation of forested ecosystems, which are confirmed by the finding in the 2010 greenhouse gas inventory that the entire Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector is a net CO2 absorber, (iii) It has always set store by improvement of agricultural productivity (including livestock) and optimization of the use of inputs, (iv) It has established the systematic introduction of controlled landfills and has, since 2006, launched Ministry of Sustainable Development projects for degasification and gas flaring across the country’s eight main landfills.
Tunisia was one of the pioneering countries in the drafting of several nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs)[2], thereby standing ready to sign a new climate agreement, and was one of the first non-Annex I countries to submit its first biennial report (31 December 2014).
These numerous initiatives prove Tunisia’s determination to advance swiftly beyond the already proactive baseline which it has adopted for a number of years and to set out on a virtuous and ambitious path towards mitigating its emissions of greenhouse gases, drawing both on its own resources and on those of the international community.
As part of its contribution to tackling climate change issues, Tunisia will step up its efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in several sectors:
The energy sector: The aim of the mitigation plan is to intensify the promotion of energy efficiency in all consumer sectors and for all energy usages. Around 20 energy efficiency actions have been included in the calculation of avoidable emissions, covering the entire industrial, building, transport and agricultural sectors. This should allow primary energy demand to decrease by some 30 per cent by 2030 ,compared to the baseline.
The plan also advocates increasing the use of renewable energies, not least through the Tunisian Solar Plan (PST). This will raise the share of renewable energies in electricity production to 14 per cent in 2020 and to 30 per cent in 2030, whereas it stood at only 4 per cent in 2015.
To achieve this, the plan will aim to achieve an installed renewable energy capacity of 3,815 MW in 2030, including 1,755 MW for wind power, 1,610 MW for solar photovoltaic (PV) and 450 MW for concentrated solar power (CSP).
With regard to solar heating, Tunisia intends to triple the solar water heater distribution rate, which will exceed 220 m² of collectors per 1,000 inhabitants in 2030, compared to 73 in 2015.
Industrial processes sector: The mitigation plan includes the use of a NAMA in the cement industry from 2016 onwards and access of this sector to carbon markets from 2021 onwards.
Agriculture, Forestry and Changes in Land Use: The mitigation plan aims to intensify the CO2 absorption capacities of forestry and arboriculture by stepping up reforestation and by consolidating and increasing carbon reserves in forest and pastoral environments. The carbon footprint for agriculture will also be improved by using practices that generate fewer emissions, such as optimizing the diets of domestic animals, promoting biological agriculture or conservation- oriented agricultural practices, or recovering energy from animal waste.
Waste: The mitigation plan provides for the implementation, from 2016, of a plan to install facilities to transform solid waste into RDF (refuse derived fuel) introducing intended for cement facilities, as well as a programme for degasification systems in controlled landfills. It is planned to recover electricity from captured gases, at least at the main landfills. This energy option is covered in the low-carbon scenario for the energy sector.
The mitigation plan in the sanitation sector provides in particular for the installation of solar PV capacity at water treatment plants (STEPs), biogas digesters for electricity production and a reduction in the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of industrial wastewater.
To ensure the success and efficiency of the actions which make up its contribution, Tunisia will establish a rigorous system for monitoring and evaluating the actions and results achieved. [3] This system will also enable the actions to be adjusted and potentially redirected. This system will be based on a comprehensive approach of Measurement, Notification and Verification (MRV)[4] and will apply to all elements of the national strategy for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. The Tunisian MRV system will revolve around three major elements of greenhouse gas emissions, namely:
Inventory carried out in accordance with the 2006 IPCC guidelines.
GWP values used from the document “IPCC Fourth Assessment Report- AR4 -Climate Change 2007”:
The approaches for calculating greenhouse gas emissions derive directly from the 2006 IPCC guidelines. The emissions calculation is based on estimated activity data, which is deduced from a simulation model using the following approaches:
Energy sector: The mitigation scenario is proactive and incorporates ambitious programmes for developing energy efficiency and renewable energies. Two methods have been used to calculate emissions for this scenario:
The two graphs below respectively show the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions due to energy efficiency measures (by sector) and due to renewable energies (by type).
Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions due to energy efficiency and renewable energies
This reduction thus makes it possible to reduce carbon intensity in the energy sector by approximately 46 per cent compared to 2010. About half of this reduction is due to the national effort, as shown in the following graph:
Trajectory for the decrease in carbon intensity in the energy sector
Page 11
Industrial processes: The mitigation scenario for the processes sector covers the launch of NAMA Cement, which is a mitigation programme with four focuses: (i) Energy efficiency, (ii) Renewable energies, (iii) Co- incineration of solid waste, (iv) Segmentation of the cement market to reduce emissions deriving from processes.
The results of the first three actions are included in the mitigation scenario for the energy sector. The impact of segmentation of the cement market on emissions related to the clinkering process is also included here, however, the energy impact of this segmentation is included in the low-carbon scenario for the energy sector.
Forestry and other land usage: The mitigation scenario for the FAT sector assumes the strengthening of reforestation and conservation actions already considered in the baseline and the addition of three new actions. As with the baseline, the calculation method is based on the 2006 IPCC guidelines.
Agriculture: The mitigation scenario for the agricultural sector assumes the strengthening of actions already considered in the baseline and the addition of four new specific actions. Estimates of avoidable emissions are based firstly on the 2006 IPCC guidelines and secondly on international literature concerning certain mitigation actions. Mitigation actions regarding energy recovery from waste are listed in this sector, but the results of these actions are included in the low-carbon scenario for the energy sector.
Waste
Solid waste: this involves a bottom-up approach combining two actions:
Wastewater treatment: this involves a bottom-up approach combining two renewable energy actions and one action to improve treatment processes in the industry. The approach for estimating avoidable emissions is derived from the method of calculating emissions for renewable electricity generation, based on an assumed COD reduction of about 15 per cent in industrial wastewater. Mitigation actions relating to renewable energies are listed in this sector, but the results of these actions are included in the mitigation scenario for the energy sector.
The following graph shows the respective trajectories of greenhouse gas emissions for the baseline, the unconditional national effort and the INDC scenario.
Trajectories of greenhouse gas emissions for the baseline, unconditional effort and INDC scenarios
The following table shows greenhouse gas emissions for the three scenarios up to 2020, 2025 and 2030.
| 2010 | 2020 | 2025 | 2030 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline emissions | 28.3 | 39.8 | 51.6 | 68.2 |
| Emissions after unconditional efforts | 28.3 | 37.4 | 47.4 | 62.2 |
| Emissions including both conditional and unconditional efforts | 28.3 | 31.1 | 35.0 | 42.4 |
Page 13
The following table shows the conditional and unconditional reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
| 2020 | 2025 | 2030 | Cumulative 2015-2030 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unconditional | 2.4 | 4.3 | 6.0 | 51.6 |
| Conditional | 6.3 | 12.4 | 19.8 | 155.2 |
| Total | 8.7 | 16.7 | 25.8 | 206.8 |
The constant decline in carbon intensity in Tunisia until 2030 stems from significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors. The energy sector remains the main contributor to the Tunisian objective in 2030, with 75 per cent of the reductions in emissions. Waste comes in second place, followed by forestry and other land use, and agriculture.
Page 14
Climate studies on Tunisia have shown that the country is very exposed to climate change and that its economy, population and ecosystems are therefore very vulnerable.
Average annual temperature increase across the entire country of +2.1°C until 2050.
By 2050, a drop of between 10 and 30 per cent - depending on the region - in the annual precipitation rate compared to the current situation. Alongside these falling values, there will be an increase in the frequency and intensity of the extreme weather phenomena: droughts and floods.
Heightened sensitivity of the 1,300 km coastline due to rising sea levels. By 2050, the sea level is expected to have risen on average by 30 to 50 cm, causing the beaches to shrink by 20 to 135 cm per year, depending on the coastline and the region.
With some 385 m3 of renewable blue water resources available per year and per capita, Tunisia is already experiencing water scarcity.
This situation is due to be exacerbated by climate change over the coming years, with the decrease in conventional water resources estimated at about 28 per cent by 2030. The decline in surface waters would be approaching 5 per cent by the same year.
Furthermore, following the expected rise in the sea level, losses through the salinization of coastal aquifers due to this rise in sea level would account for about 50 per cent of the current resources of these aquifers by 2030, amounting to almost 150 million m3.
The physical vulnerability of the Tunisian coastline to rising sea levels has various direct and indirect socio-economic consequences:
The loss of productive capital caused by this damage is in the order of 2 billion US dollars. Losses in annual production are estimated at approximately 0.5 per cent of current GDP, mainly in the areas of tourism (55 per cent) and agriculture (45 per cent). An estimated 36,000 job losses, mainly in agriculture and tourism.
Droughts caused by climate change will particularly affect rainfed cereal farming interests, which would decrease from a current average land area of 1.5 million hectares to about 1 million hectares in 2030, i.e. a reduction of approximately 30 per cent.
Page 15
Agricultural GDP following the reduction in land area, given yields identical to the reference situation, would fall by 5 to 10 per cent by 2030.
In the event of successive extreme droughts, the land area used for cereal crops and arboriculture (mainly regions in the centre and the south) will decrease by 200,000 and 800,000 hectares respectively. Lastly, the livestock population would decrease by about 80 per cent in the centre and the south, and 20 per cent in the north, owing to the loss of rough grazing areas.
Concerning ecosystems, as well as water resources, the major effects may be observed in forests and pastoral ecosystems.
As temperatures and the inflammability of the biomass rise, the risk of large forest and bush fires also increases. It is estimated that 180,000 hectares of forest will have been lost by 2030. In the north of the country, such a risk will have an impact on the availability of water resources, and on the population and its heritage.
The steppe ecosystems of the centre and south of the country will see their pastoral functions decline in central Tunisia, and even cease in the south. The herds will fall back to the rough grazing areas in the north, burdening these further and thereby increasing the extent of overgrazing. In the event of climate change, if no action is taken to improve the production of rough grazing areas, the contribution of steppe ecosystems is likely to have ceased by 2050.
The effects of climate change on health in Tunisia will take the form of:
Tourism in Tunisia essentially revolves around its image as a beach and seaside resort, which means that it is particularly sensitive to the summer climate, rising sea levels and coastal erosion.
The rise in temperature will make the heat in summer more severe, affecting humans’ climate comfort and making heatwaves unbearable for the human body. The water stress already experienced by Tunisia will intensify, which will have repercussions on tourist facilities in terms of operating costs and health and safety.
Concerning coastal erosion, the annual losses to the tourist sector resulting from the retreat of the beaches due to the rising sea level are estimated at around 5 per cent of the sector’s added value.
Tunisia is aware of these challenges and has striven for several years to include adaptation to climate change in the development planning process at global and sectoral levels. Tunisia has therefore prepared a raft of measures focusing on the adaptation of six key sectors and ecosystems which are among the most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
The adaptation measures proposed for water resources essentially consist in projects to transfer and reuse treated wastewater and to improve and secure the water supplies of large urban centres, especially Greater Tunis, Cap-bon, Sahel and Sfax.
The projects planned essentially concern the rehabilitation of coasts and the prevention of coastal erosion: redeveloping and displacing coastal industrial zones; rehabilitating and protecting existing infrastructure against the risks of climatic impacts and developing farms and agricultural infrastructure.
The actions planned are essentially capacity-building and development measures: institutional
A number of measures are planned for adapting ecosystems, which may be summarized as follows:
The main measures planned in the area of tourism can essentially be summarized as:
Page 17
This too essentially consists in measures for capacity-building and institutional support:
The total funding needs for adaptation to climate change would stand at about 1.9 billion US dollars for the period 2015-2030. Besides a number of physical investments, these are mostly intangible investments to support and popularize new practices (institutional support, capacity building, research and development, etc.).
Funding needs to support the INDC adaptation effort
| SECTORS/FIELDS | TOTAL |
|---|---|
| Water resources | 533 |
| Coastline | 556 |
| Agriculture | 21 |
| Ecosystems | 782 |
| Health | 7 |
| Tourism | 17 |
| TOTAL | 1,916 |
Tunisia is appealing for international support to cover all of the additional costs for the adaptation of these sectors and fields.

Pomodoro technique is one that I'm very fond of as the 5 mins break every now and then helps me to refresh my mind. Fogg's idea of a small celebration after achieving a little something is always another way to boost my self-confidence.
I've actually never come across the fact that I could celebrate my achievements and break down my goals into very teenie tiny ones. But after an enlightening talk by BJ Fogg it feels like putting his techniques into practice might actually help me.
Quite early to make a judgement as to what is working and what is not but I am keeping an eye on it. I do tend to forget these new techniques but I am working towards making them a part of my daily routine and my personal habits.
Would definitely like to go on with the Pomodoro technique as it helps with many different tasks related and unrelated to EDA.
I want to try to be a lot more mindful about the work I'm doing and what I'm getting done, assess it and make tiny goals that are achievable as it brings my spirit up and I will be able to tackle the next tasks that are at hand with more determination and boldness.

Armageddon (1998) * * * (out of four) Starring Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Will Patton, Steve Buscemi, Michael Duncan and Keith David Directed by Michael Bay Rated PG-13 for planetary disaster, profanity and pillow talk Theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1 Released in 1998 Running 150 minutes
Armageddon, in itself, symbolizes everything that is wrong in modern filmmaking.  Armageddon is as stupid, as loud and as shallow as any movie you'll see come out this summer, or maybe even any other summer. But I loved every freaking minute of it.
Believe me, I'm just as shocked as you are. Hell, I don't even know why I went to see it in the first place. The previews were so annoying that I predicted this was going to be the worst film of the year, or at least in the running. I'm sorry, but "Somebody dial 911!!!" isn't quite the tagging that's going to sell a movie. It isn't too wise either to market the film using the movie's stupidest lines ("Beam me up Scotty" - yeah, that sure is great writing...). I mean, let's face it; Armageddon's previews rival The Truman Show's as being some of the worst of the year. Neither of them even come close to doing their respective films justice.
Of course, you all know the story. When the Earth is threatened with total annihilation via an asteroid the size of Texas, NASA calls in the US's top oil drillers (!) to go into space (!) and implant a nuclear device eight-hundred and someodd feet into the asteroid (!).
In the coarse of all this mayhem, we are introduced to some interesting - and not so interesting - characters. Belonging to the former group is Rockhound (Steve Buscemi), a horny little womanizing genius who's always full of wisecracks, even when flying into space at a huge amount of G's. Also, there's the always cool-as-hell Billy Bob Thornton as Dan Truman, the bigwig at NASA who recruits all the drillers. He kind of reminded me of Ed Harris in Apollo 13, only without the intensity and great lines to deliver. Then on the flip side of the coin is the tired, contrived character of Harry Stamper (Bruce Willis, who does the whole movie employing with annoying accent I can't quite place), the leader of the pack as well as Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck as the token lovers you must have in any summer movie.
Basically, that's about it. As I said, this is hardly a film about plot. It's another summer blockbuster with plot points that are beyond unbelievable and dialogue and characters that are mostly completely wooden. Case in point: NASA doesn't know that there is even an asteroid on it's way until eighteen days before impact - huh? Another example: at one point in the movie, two children are playing with toy space shuttles in front of a poster of Kennedy.  Want another one? Okay; before the oil drillers blast off into space, one of them starts singing "Leaving on a Jet Plane", and soon, all the rest join in. Did Michael Bay attend the school of sappy filmmaking before he made this picture?
But naturally, all this sappiness, melodrama and special effects accumulate to one bitchin' time at the movies. And don't get me wrong - despite all of the things I found wrong with Armageddon, I still very much enjoyed it. So even if you don't win one of McDonald's free tickets, it's still definitely worth checking out.

Trang converts between different schema languages for XML. It supports the following languages:
A schema written in any of the supported schema languages can be converted into any of the other supported schema languages, except that W3C XML Schema is supported for output only, not for input.
Trang can also infer a schema from one or more example XML documents.
Trang is constructed around an RELAX NG object model designed to support schema conversion. For each schema language supported for input, there is an input module that can convert from the schema language into this internal object model. Similarly, for each schema language supported for output, there is an output module that can convert from the internal object model in the schema language.
Trang aims to produce human-understandable schemas; it tries for a translation that preserves all aspects of the input schema that may be significant to a human reader, including the definitions, the way the schema is divided into files, annotations and comments.
Trang has a command-line user interface. It has no graphical user interface.
The file trang-<EMAIL_ADDRESS>contains Trang version @VERSION@ including binaries, source code and documentation. It requires a Java runtime compatible with the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) version 5 (or any later version), such as the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which can be downloaded here.
The latest version of Trang will aalways be available in the Downloads section of the project site.
Detailed information about using Trang is in the manual.
Some background information on the conversion to W3C XML Schema is available in the slides for a talk given a XML 2002.
Development of Trang, together with Jing, takes place in the jing-trang project, which is hosted on Google Code.
If you find a bug or would like to request an enhancement, please create a new issue in the Issues section of the project site. You can talk with other users of Trang on the rng-users mailing list.
If you want to make changes to Trang, you should check out the source code from the project's Subversion repository. (The source code included in the Trang download is for reference purposes, and doesn't contain the supporting files, such as build scripts and test cases, that are needed for working conveniently with the source code.)
Trang's DTD input module uses DTDinst. The Trang distribution already includes the necessary parts of DTDinst, so there is no need to download DTDinst just in order to use Trang. DTDinst is also available as an independent program that outputs an XML representation of an XML DTD.
The Sun Multi-Schema Validator includes the rngconv tool, which converts from a variety of different schema languages into RELAX NG. However, it is based on an object model which is designed to support validation, and so does not preserve aspects of the input schemas that are irrelevant for validation (such as the definitional structure).
The schematools package does schema conversion based around a restricted subset of RELAX NG. It supports conversion from W3C XML Schema to RELAX NG.
