The R Script associated with this page is available here. Download this file and open it (or copy-paste into a new script) with RStudio if you want to follow along.
Wrappers are packages that combine the computational efficiency of external tools with the convenience of R-scripts. So rather than executing for a combination of bash/console commands and tools from Graphical Interfaces, simply call the tools directly in subprocesses within R.
Here we cover a few, but there obviously many other wrappers for open source GIS tools that one can incorporate into their analyses. This is by the way very similar to developing python code for ArcPy. For instance there is RSAGA
if you want to load the tools available through SAGA or rgrass7
for GRASS-based tools. Please explore the library functions on your own.
The GDAL library forms the backbone of many open-source software solutions and also provides a number of tools, which are - due to their fast C implementation - often the best solution for processing large datasets or memory intensive tasks. In R the package gdalUtils
provides one way of accessing the tools from GDAL.

Another very common task is to combine two rasters (overlapping or not) to a new single raster file. This can be done using a VRT file. The code and data below is from the help file, so have a look.
# Load these files provided by the gdalUtils package
layer1 <- system.file("external/tahoe_lidar_bareearth.tif", package="gdalUtils")
layer2 <- system.file("external/tahoe_lidar_highesthit.tif", package="gdalUtils")
# The ouput vrt file
output.vrt <- paste(tempfile(),".vrt",sep="")
# Now build the vrt. Notice that here we specfiy that each input raster
# Here we provide a vector of two files. Note that you can do this for many more
gdalbuildvrt(gdalfile = c(layer1,layer2),
output.vrt = output.vrt,
separate = TRUE, # Save in separate bands. If this set to FALSE both layers will be mosaiced
verbose = TRUE
)

The QGIS suite is the most popular and comprehensive open source GIS suite. Its visual and analytical capacities - in my opinion - are already superior than that of many propertiary GIS software (ArcGIS, ENVI,…).
QGIS has also many useful functions for vector and raster processing. Through a new experimental wrapping package these functions have now become available.

## Dissolve (native:dissolve)
##
## ----------------
## Description
## ----------------
## This algorithm takes a vector layer and combines their features into new features. One or more attributes can be specified to dissolve features belonging to the same class (having the same value for the specified attributes), alternatively all features can be dissolved in a single one.
##
## All output geometries will be converted to multi geometries. In case the input is a polygon layer, common boundaries of adjacent polygons being dissolved will get erased.
##
## ----------------
## Arguments
## ----------------
##
## INPUT: Input layer
## Argument type: source
## Acceptable values:
## - Path to a vector layer
## FIELD: Dissolve field(s)
## Argument type: field
## Acceptable values:
## - The name of an existing field
## - ; delimited list of existing field names
## OUTPUT: Dissolved
## Argument type: sink
## Acceptable values:
## - Path for new vector layer
##
## ----------------
## Outputs
## ----------------
##
## OUTPUT: <outputVector>
## Dissolved
Best explore the package functions yourself if you are looking for a function not yet available in standard R packages. Often the python code implemented in QGIS can also be considerably faster.

Tear gas fired by police as yellow vest protesters mark anniversary
A total of 46 people had been detained in Paris by early afternoon on Saturday.
Tear gas and water cannon were used on Saturday as Paris police sought to disperse yellow vest protesters marking the first anniversary of the birth of their movement against government policies seen as favouring the rich.
Officers deployed in force around the capital and had detained 46 people by early afternoon.
They used tear gas as protesters tried to smash windows and enter into a shopping mall.
Some were seen throwing stones at officers and setting fire to bins, a motorcycle and other urban equipment on Place d’Italie, in the south-east of the city.
Earlier, the windows of a bank and several bus shelters in the area had been broken, leading to several police charges.
Police managed to dislodge protesters trying to block the bypass around Paris and sprayed repeated volleys of tear gas at groups gathered near Porte de Champerret, in the northwest, and Place d’Italie.
Protests were taking place around the country at traffic circles where the grassroots movement first took root in November 2018 in protest at plans to raise fuel taxes.
The outpouring of anger at perceived social and economic injustice eventually prompted President Emmanuel Macron to reverse some of his tax plans and to offer 10 billion euro in measures to address protesters’ concerns.
Some protesters in Paris wore the high-visibility vests drivers are required to carry in their cars that gave the movement its name. Other demonstrators wore all black, their faces protected with gas masks.
Waving French flags, blowing whistles, and beating drums, some demonstrators marched in north-western Paris streets, singing their trademark song: “We are here, we are here. Even if Macron doesn’t want it, we are here.”
Dozens of police in riot gear guarded the Arc de Triomphe overlooking the Champs-Elysees, which was the scene of weekly rioting and police crackdowns at the height of last year’s protests.
The French government has also pledged to cut taxes for households next year by nine billion euro, a spending boost that has its roots in the yellow vest movement.
Rosa Drissi, who joined the movement on its first day, said she struggles to make ends meet with just 800 euro per month. She said she is protesting “for my retirement, and for my buying power.”
Ms Drissi said the movement has evolved since the start.
“We were novices at the beginning. We didn’t know politics; we didn’t know how to be in the streets. We didn’t know how to protest,” she said. “We made errors, we made mistakes. That’s normal.”
Some protesters in other countries subsequently adopted the yellow vests as a symbol of anti-government anger.


Working with Non-GDO Identifiers
In addition to GDOs, Gracenote supports other media element identifiers, as shown in the following table. All of these represent TUI/Tag pairs.
Examples of Non-GDO Identifiers
The following table shows examples of non-GDO identifiers.
| Identifier | Example |
|---|---|
| TUI/Tag | 12345567/ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890 |
| GNID | 12345567-ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890 |
| GNUID | ABCD1234567890 |
| TAGID and ProductID |
DATA12345567FOOABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890DATA |
GNSDK Identifiers Comparison Matrix
The following table lists the strengths and weaknesses of the different Gracenote identifiers.
| Identifier | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
|
Serialized GDO |
Good for getting back to the original metadata. Good for joining responses and requests between different Gracenote products Does not require knowledge of the object type |
Cannot be used for comparison to other serialized GDO values Not useful for integrating GNSDK to other metadata sources, as only GNSDK supports GDOs Relatively large and requires much storage space |
|
TUI /TUI Tag Pair |
Good for comparison Good for integrating GNSDK with other Gracenote metadata sources |
Cannot be used for getting back to the original metadata, due to the lack of a Tag ID to perform the query Cannot be efficiently used for joining different Gracenote products, as it does not contain enough metadata. Requires knowledge of the object type Requires an accompanying tag, as it is not a single input |
|
TagID (ProductID) |
Good for comparison Good for getting back to original metadata. Concise and does not require large amounts of storage space Single input and does not require an accompanying tag |
Cannot be used among different Gracenote products as a Product ID/Tag ID contains only enough information for certain SDKs Cannot be efficiently used for integrating the GNSDK to other metadata sources, as Product IDs/Tag IDs are not generally supported (however, they can be deconstructed to a TUI ) Requires knowledge of the object type |
Converting Non-GDO Identifiers to GDOs
This section shows examples that create GDO identifiers from Non-GDO identifiers.
Example: Creating a GDO from an Album TUI
gnsdk_gdo_handle_t query_gdo;
gnsdk_cstr_t tui = "12345678";
gnsdk_cstr_t tui_tag = "ABCDEF1234567890ABCDEF1234567890";
error = gnsdk_manager_gdo_create_from_id(tui, tui_tag, GNSDK_ID_SOURCE_ALBUM, &query_gdo);
if (!error)
error = gnsdk_musicid_query_set_gdo(query_gdo);
Example: Creating a GDO from a Track TagID
gnsdk_gdo_handle_t query_gdo;
gnsdk_cstr_t tagid = "3CD3N43R15145217U37894058D7FCB938ADFA97874409F9531B2P3";
error = gnsdk_manager_gdo_create_from_id(tagid, GNSDK_NULL, GNSDK_ID_SOURCE_TRACK, &query_gdo);
if (!error)
error = gnsdk_musicid_query_set_gdo(query_gdo);
Example: Creating a GDO from an Video Product ID
gnsdk_gdo_handle_t query_gdo;
gnsdk_cstr_t productid = "3CD3N43R15145217U37894058D7FCB938ADFA97874409F9531B2P3";
error = gnsdk_manager_gdo_create_from_id(productid, GNSDK_NULL, GNSDK_ID_SOURCE_VIDEO_PRODUCT, &query_gdo);
if (!error)
error = gnsdk_video_query_set_gdo(query_gdo);
Example: Creating a GDO from a CDDBID
gnsdk_gdo_handle_t query_gdo;
gnsdk_cstr_t cddbid = "4+029C475EFCF8D469C78A644DEBFABF91+5795407";
error = gnsdk_manager_gdo_create_from_id(cddbid, GNSDK_NULL, GNSDK_ID_SOURCE_CDDBID, &query_gdo);
if (!error)
error = gnsdk_musicid_query_set_gdo(query_gdo);
Example: Creating a GDO from Raw CDDBID
A Raw CDDBID is a decomposition of the CDDBID above.
gnsdk_gdo_handle_t query_gdo;
gnsdk_cstr_t mui = "5795407";
gnsdk_cstr_t mediaid = "029C475EFCF8D469C78A644DEBFABF91";

Last night I attended my first Ruby Brigade Meetup in Toronto and I have to admit…it was kinda fun!
It was graciously hosted at Influitive’s downtown office on Adelaide St. When I got there I was happy to see some fancy boardrooms and a bunch of pairing stations for us to use. All in all, a great location.
We got a little caught up in some general technology discussions so as expected we got started a little late. However, after some intros and idea pitches we broke off into groups and started coding.
My group was small and had a couple of people that were just getting started in ruby development. We decided we’d break off into pairs and implement Conway’s Game of Life in Ruby.
Since I’m relatively new to pairing, I found it a little difficult to get started without hogging or yielding the keyboard too much. If you haven’t tried it, I’d really recommend it!
After running out to grab a few beers for the task at hand (a requirement I’m told), we ultimately managed to get the cell checking piece working and the basic shell of the application tested in just over an hour. We focused on the interface and worked through the problem one step at a time, refactoring along the way.
This is how wicked Ruby is: The guy I was working with wasn’t even a developer, but by the end he was writing code!!!
There was only one problem…we didn’t finish it!
If anyone’s interested, I’ve thrown my solution up on GitHub. Feel free to publicly berate/shame me or poke holes in my logic! – I could use the help!

Revision must be one of the most individualized processes within academic life. While it is possible to get ideas from others and from books, about how to revise, you also need to get to know what your own personal strengths and weaknesses are. How much do you already know? How do you revise? What are the factors that usually cause problems for you in managing your revision?
We all understand the importance of revision. Most work hard at it, but we don't always work well at it. As with any other aspect of your studies, you need to organize your time and plan your revision in advance.
The main purpose for revising is always to:
To enable you to do this, you will need to organize your class notes, books and other revision materials in a nice way. This section includes a series of examination papers and assessment tests that will help improve your grade as your progress towards your final exam. It also includes advice and other useful nuggets that will guide you as you organize your revision and study plan:
To use this site, there are two sets of membership plans:
This is strictly for students only.
Registration is free and once verified and activated, a student enjoys access to revision materials in all the subjects and even for previous forms. This is important especially for candidates as they are expected to have perfect mastery of what was learnt in the previous classes.
This section also gives students access to a wide variety of study tips and guidance in difference subjects as well as in examinations. All the materials can be downloaded and used by the students for purposes of building their knowledge and preparation for examinations.
Basic membership gives students access to our periodical newlines and important updates regarding their student and academic life as well as careers and other study opportunities beyond K.C.S.E.

This is a brief list of security tips for MySQL. It is by no means complete.
- Follow the sudo example. Don't let all you DBAs and Ops have the password for the root account. Have each and every one of them have their own personal super-duper account, with their own personal and private password. This makes it so easy when someone leaves the company. No need to change passwords, just to remove the employee's account.
- Block root. Either remove it completely or forbid it from logging in. Yes, there's a
wayhack in MySQL to have a valid account blocked from logging in. One way of making this happen is via common_schema's sql_accounts. Here's how to block root account using common_schema:
mysql> CALL common_schema.eval("SELECT sql_block_account FROM sql_accounts WHERE USER = 'root'");
- Make lots of small users. Give nagios its own user. Give collectd its own user. Give orchestrator its own user. Give innotop its own user. Give whatever its own user. Yes, it's more users to create, but you get to have each user as limited in privileges as possible, and you don't get to wonder why your heartbeat script has SUPER, LOCK and SHUTDOWN privileges.
- Verify: set @@old_passwords=0; before setting a new password. Make sure your configuration does not specify old_passwords = 1. There is no reason to use "old passwords". In fact, a 5.6 client will refuse connecting with an "old password".
- Give no access to mysql.*. No one should be tampering directly with the mysql system tables.
- Run oak-security-audit or, if you have common_schema installed (you mean you don't?), just CALL security_audit(); I can (almost) guarantee you'd be surprised and thankful for the security breakdown. Users without passwords, users sharing same passwords, users with unreasonable privileges, and more... You'll see them all.
- If you have web interfaces to your database or some of its aspects (e.g. Anemometer, Propagator, Orchestrator, monitoring, ...), protect it via LDAP group or similar. Not everyone who has access to your network needs to see you database. Neither does every employee.

Documenting Notes Development
We all know: developers are to documentation are like cats to dogs. There are cute pictures of co-existence in the internet but in reality one chases the other in a never ending fight. One of the big reasons: nobody reads documentation until a problem occurs or there is a change of watch, none of which appears in either "important" or "interesting" category of a regular developer. A partial solution for this dilemma is to automate documentation creation. I'm fully aware that a lot of generated documentation is not very useful, so be careful what you wish for.
What I describe in the following is not something readily available, but it would make an excellent plug-in for the Domino Designer (if I can find some brothers in crime). Some of the tools are ready, some need to be created and all of them need to be glued together in an automated process. So this is how it can look like:
What I describe in the following is not something readily available, but it would make an excellent plug-in for the Domino Designer (if I can find some brothers in crime). Some of the tools are ready, some need to be created and all of them need to be glued together in an automated process. So this is how it can look like:
- The documentation process would be governed by an Apache ANT script. Such a script can be run from within Domino designer and you even could automatically run it whenever you run a build of your application
- Ideally the reports would run (makes things easier) on individual files and, for cross design element reports, on a summary file. When connecting an NSF to a version control system, the individual files are created on the file system, so that's sufficient (or you can use Guo Yi's Import/Export plug-in (which incidentially has an ANT interface ) or call DXLMagic from the ANT script (it is like calling a command line Java) with the DesignExtractorSINGLE mode. DXLMagic useful for classic stuff, not for XPages, so you stick to the export tool or the version control for these
- Run XSLT based reports on the XML: View selection formula, XPages field validation, Buddy list reports, Hide-When formulas, Replication formulas, Field reports, View structure, XRef documents etc.
- Use JavaDoc to document all Java classes you might have used
- Use LSDoc to document your LotusScript (how to get all of it into a script library is subject to a future post)
- Use JSDoc to document all the JavaScript
- Use Visustin to generate flowcharts from all the language source code. With a little tweaking the *Doc generators can be tweaked to include the images of visustin (after all it is just HTML which could be post-processed)
- Use Crap4J to check for the quality of the Java used (CRAP stands for: "Change Risk Analysis and Predictions")
- Use JSHint to check all the JavaScript (based on some opinion it will work better for our purpose than the original JSLint
- The missing piece: LSLint. It would be way cool to have something like that. On the other hand: some code better should not be scrutinized
- Finally all results are uploaded into one WIKI (or another), so the WIKI would take care of "what has changed"

automated tool to help students, machine learning, acknowledging pylint, etc.
applies style to software architecture (supe macro), but doesn’t quite define style
architectural styles define a semantic interpretation whereby compositions of design elements, suitably constrained by the configuration rules, have well-defined meanings
but he seems quite limited by OOP / unix style
refers to McConnell, 2004: “the details of a specific method of structuring a program are much less important than the fact that the program is structured consistently”
The religious tone by excellence, mentions “heretic”, “heed the warning”.
claims that K&R is the one and only rationale needed
“First off, I’d suggest printing out a copy of the GNU coding standards, and NOT read it. Burn them, it’s a great symbolic gesture.”
also provides a linter file for emacs
three levels of knowledge representation:
“mixed coding style is harder to maintain than bad coding style” -> this is what brings us to the automatic linters
he explains that style is more than aesthetics, and helps understanding
there are uniquivocal rules (everyone agrees on) (e.g. naming conventions)
there are also competing, yet equivalent styles: no real answers, so the answer becomes “consistency” which is enforced by linters
Tools like indent
are a staple of softeng: it’s not about what is beauty, but what is knowable about it, and thus enforceable
Aesthetic value is not the same as readability
this is from: Posnett, Daryl, Hindle, Abram & Devanbu, Prem, (2011) “A Simpler Model of Software Readability”,
Gabriel argues against clarity and conceptual beauty as primary goals of software in favour of what the author calls “habitability.”
Gabriel, Richard, (1996) Patterns of Software, Oxford
js as an important part of the web
linters have warnings about bad code logic (i don’t care), and bad code style (i care)
doesn’t state what are “commonly accepted rules”
teams know about mistakes, because they’ve customized it
baseline: for large projects, custom static code analyzers are used
some guy’s master thesis from prague
there is a large gap between knowing the rules and following them: so we need tools not just to detect, but also to take action
the guy argues that style should be built into the language grammar
Of course, you will never enforce any style globally unless people have literally no choice
the important part is that it comes from the language, therefore limitation on the power of community in the sense that the community should be able to crowd-decide what is best.

sets the stage for an empirically-backed style checking process

github papers
good references for ground work in OSS user contributions
Our study exploits data from GitHub, a super-repositoryof software projects containing millions of projects. GitHubis free for open source projects and implements an in-houseissue tracking system where users can file issues and tag theminto self-defined categories. The issue tracking system is easyto use and is systematically provided to all projects hostedin GitHub.
Rhetoric and technical language are on opposite endsof a language complexity spectrum: the former is stylisticallynatural; the latter is terse and concise. Issue discussions embodythis duality, as developers use rhetoric to describe technical issues.The style mix in any discussion can define group culture andaffect performance, e.g., issue resolution times may be longer ifdiscussion is imprecise.
findings:
We find that experienced users conform to project-specific languagenorms, popular individuals use overall GitHub language ratherthan project-specific language, and conformance to project-specific language norms reduces issue resolution times
technical language vs. community language (both subject to perceived language complexity)
project-specificterms and perceived language complexity exist, andsomeprojects have more project-specific perceived languagecomplexity than others.
as for users,
they gravitate towards the project languagenormandpopular users (measured by the number of timesthey are @mentioned in issue discussions) are betterrepresented by the GitHub global language model thanproject-specific language models.
a speech community describes a group of people who use language in a way that is mutually accepted among the group, which requires communitative competence (they must speak in a manner that is standard within the speech community—norm conformity) — less structured, end users
a community a practice (wenger & lave) have shared practices, membership is internally constructed, co-construction of personal and group identities, with a shared social/instrumental goal. Kleinnijenhuis describes networks of practice — more structured, developers of project
GitHub discussions are a push-and-pull effort betweenthe push to use technical language that is relevant to theproject, and the pull to provide a narrative which frames one’sposition through rhetoric
Based on these anecdotes, we hypothesize that a complexproject with project-specific code style requirements may bemore likely to useESLintorJSHint, while a smaller projectmay opt forstandardJSbecause it is easier to set up.While highly configurable tools likeESLintandJSHintrequire more effort in configuration, they may nullify disputesover code formatting and facilitate code review.standardJSrequires less initial effort from project maintainers and maybe appealing to new contributors who are familiar with thecommon code style. However, since its adoption likely entailedless configuration effort, maintainers may need to spend moretime on code review or address more issues about code styling.
commercial projects and corporations are influenced by the OSS style of working
We find that people makea surprisinglyrich set ofsocialinferences from the networked activity information in GitHub, such as inferring someoneelse’s technical goals and vision when they edit code, or guessing which of several similar projects has the best chance of thriving in the long term.
In the end, communication happens at the end of transparency: when the information isn’t readily available, when it is unclear. also signs of attentions.
there are users (regulars) and commenters (only post without opening issues or source code changes)
commenters are less polite than users, and more negative
commenters are also more aggressive (but only aggressive, actually; there is few variation in their emotion)
We found that developers raisedissues around contributions over both the appropriateness of the problem that thesubmitter attemptedto solve and the correctness of the implemented solution.
I’m only interested in the first part (appropriateness)
They also resort to external stakeholders: dependent projects or companies
Tsay et al. [23]found in a study of contributions in GitHub that a number of social and technical factors influenced the probability of a contribution being accepted. When contributions were highly discussed, contributions were much less likely to be accepted.
in the end it’s just a typology of discussions, not sure how useful

Variables are containers for data and can be either numbers or words (a string). The syntax follows:
var *nameOfVariable* = *value* var x = 5; var message = “Hello world!”; var empty; // undefined variable "empty." // Undefined is not a string or integer. // Note: you can't create two variables with the same name.
JavaScript Objects are similar to real objects. They have properties and you can do things to the them. In JavaScript, doing something to an object can be described as using a method on an object. Create a JavaScript Object with:
Object Literal: Most common way to create object var myObject = {} // An empty object var person = { // An object with 2 items name: “Bob”; age: 19; } Object Constructor: Next most common way to create object var person = new Object (); person.name = “Bob”; person.age = 19; The Constructor pattern is another way to use the object constructor with this, referring to the global object. function Person(theName, theAge) { this.name = theName; this.age = theAge; } var bob = Person(“Bob”, 19); The Prototype pattern can also be used as an alternative for creating objects. For example: function Person() { } Person.prototype.name = “Bob”; Person.prototype.age = 19; var bob = new Person(); // calls constructor to create bob w/ the properties name = “Bob” and age = 19
Properties are values associated with a JavaScript object. Properties can be accessed two ways:
Dot notation: obj.propertyName Square bracket notation: obj[propertyName]
Accessing and Enumerating Properties on Objects using a for/in loop:
var school = {name:”DBC”,loc:”Chicago”,cohort1:”Squirrels”} for (var eachItem in school) { console.log(eachItem); // Prints name, loc, cohort1 }
Dot notation is easier to read and write. Square bracket notation allows access to properties containing special characters and selection of properties using variables.
var school = {name:”DBC”,loc:”Chicago”,cohort1:”Squirrels”} console.log(school.name); // DBC console.log(school[“cohort” + 1]); // Squirrels
hasOwnProperty returns a boolean value indicating if the object being called has a property with the name of the argument in parenthesis. This is useful when enumerating properties of an object in the for/in construct.
var school - {schoolName:”DBC”}; console.log(school.hasOwnProperty(“schoolName”));
Each data property has 3 attributes:
Configurable: Specifies if it can be deleted or changed. Enumerable: Specifies if it can be returned in for/in loop. Writable: Specifies if it can be changed.
Every JavaScript function has a prototype property (empty by default), and you attach properties and methods on this prototype property when implementing inheritance. The prototype property is not enumerable (inaccessible in for/in loop).
An object’s prototype attribute points to the object’s “parent”—the object it inherited its properties from. The prototype attribute is normally referred to as the prototype object, and it is set automatically when you create a new object.
JavaScript Functions are defined by either a declaration or an expression. Functions are sequences of instructions that can be triggered by one line of code -- substitute repeated code with functions.
Function Declarations: function functionName (parameter1, parameter2) { ... } Functions can also return values. Here, a function requires two paramaters, and returns their sum: function doSomething(x, y) { return x + y; } Function Expression: Function expressions are an alternative to function declarations: var doSomething = function (x, y) { return x + y; } For both methods, you can call the function in the same way: var sum = doSomething(5, 12); // 5 + 12 ==> returns 17 A function in an object: var Human = { age: 19, name: “Jamal”, isAdult: true } printInfo: function() { Console.log(Human.name+“ is “+Human.age+“ years old”); } // last pair, no comma }; // must end with a semicolon Human.age = 20; // the value can be changed Human.printInfo(); // prints “Jamal is 20 years old” to the consoleJavaScript Methods:
Access a method with the following syntax: obj.methodName() The most reliable method to see if an object is an array: isArr = Object.prototype.toString.call(arrayiter) == '[object Array]'; Number Methods: constructor(): Returns function that created object's instance. By default this is the Number object. toFixed(): Formats a number with specific # of digits to the right of the decimal. toPrecision(): Defines total digits left and right of decimal to display of a number. toString(): Returns string representation of #'s value. Boolean Methods: toSource(): Returns string w/ source of Boolean object; you can use this string to create equivalent object. toString(): Returns a string of "true" or "false" depending upon the value of the object. String Methods: charAt(index): Returns the character at the specified index. concat(string1, string2): Combines the text of two strings and returns a new string. indexOf(string): Reports the zero-based index of the first occurrence of the specified string in this instance. length(): Returns the length of the string. match(regex): Used to match a regular expression against a string. replace(findThisStr, replacementStr): Find a match between regular expression and string. Replaces the matched substring with a new substring. search(str): Searches the string for a matching string or reg. expression -- returns the index at the match slice(index1, index2): Extracts a section of a string and returns a new string. split(delimeter): Splits a String object into an array of strings by separating the string into substrings. Array Methods concat(array): Returns a new array comprised of this array joined with other array(s) and/or value(s). every(): Returns true if every element in this array satisfies the provided testing function. filter(): Creates new array with all of the elements of array for which the filtering function returns true. forEach(): Calls a function for each element in the array. indexOf(obj): Returns the first (least) index of an element within the array equal to the specified value. join(): Joins all elements of an array into a string. map(funct): Creates a new array with results of calling a provided function on every element. pop(): Removes last element from array and returns it. push(object): Adds one or more elements to the end of an array and returns the new length of the array. reduce(): Apply function against two values of the array to reduce it to a single value. reverse(): Reverses the order of the elements of an array. shift(): Removes 1st element from array and returns it. slice(): Extracts section of array and returns a new array. sort(): Sorts the elements of an array. splice(): Adds and/or removes elements from an array.


Hubble Witnesses Dance of Galaxies: Arp 293
by Natali AndersonNASA has released a beautiful photo taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the peculiar pair of interacting galaxies called Arp 293.
Arp 293 is located approximately 248 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Draco.
The galaxy pair is composed of two spiral galaxies, NGC 6285 (left) and NGC 6286 (right), with similar luminosities and velocities.
Both galaxies were discovered by the American astronomer Lewis A. Swift in the 1880s.
NGC 6285 is designated as S0 in the galaxy morphological classification scheme.
NGC 6286 is a Sb-type galaxy seen almost edge-on with a thick dust lane that runs inclined to the galaxy’s stellar disk.
“Hubble has viewed a number of interacting pairs,” the Hubble astronomers said.
“These can have distinctive, beautiful, and downright odd shapes, ranging from sheet music to a spaceship entering a sci-fi-esque wormhole, a bouquet of celestial blooms, and a penguin fiercely guarding its precious egg.”
“NGC 6286 and NGC 6285 are interacting, their mutual gravitational attraction pulling wisps of gas and streams of dust from them, distorting their shapes, and gently smudging and blurring their appearances on the sky — to Earth-based observers, at least,” they said.
The distance between NGC 6285 and NGC 6286 is approximately 130,500 light-years.
A faint ‘bridge’ can be seen between the galaxies in deep images.
“Some galaxies are closer friends than others,” the researchers noted.
“While many live their own separate, solitary lives, others stray a little too close to a near neighbor and take their relationship to the next level.”

Not once upon a time but just now, in a white house by the side of a road, live three happy children.
Their mother and father gave them very odd names, for two old uncles and one aunt, which pleased the old people very much. Their names are all written in the big family Bible,—Jehosophat Green, Marmaduke Green, and Hepzebiah Green.
Jehosophat is just seven years old. His birthday comes on Thanksgiving Day this year. It does not come on Thanksgiving Day every year, of course. See if you can guess why.
Marmaduke is five, “going on six,” he always says. Little Hepzebiah, who toddles after her brothers, tells everyone who comes to visit that she is “half-past three.” She heard her brother say this once and she imitates all he does and says. Perhaps that is why her father calls her a “little monkey.”
These happy children all live in the country. They do not know much about elevated trains and subways and automobiles and moving pictures but they do know a great deal about flowers and birds and chestnuts and picnics and lots of things which you would like too, if you lived in the country.
Each place you see has its advantages. All good is not found in the country, nor all in the city. If we keep both eyes open we will see lots of enjoyable and beautiful things wherever we are.
The house in which Jehosophat and Marmaduke and Hepzebiah live is large. It has many rooms to sleep in and eat in and play in. It is painted white and has wide windows with green blinds.
Around the house are large trees. The branches seem to pat the house lovingly and to protect the children when the sun is too hot or the rain comes down too fast.
They are fine for swings and bird-houses, these trees, and some throw down acorns and others cones and soft pine needles for the children to play with.
Behind the house and gardens are red barns, chicken yards—and oh lots of animals,—the three dogs, Rover, Brownie, and little yellow Wienerwurst and all the rest. You will come to know them later. Each has his funny ways and queer tricks just like people. Around the house are fields with growing plants and oh—we almost forgot the pond where Jehosophat and his brother sail boats.
Mother, that is Mrs. Green, is not too thin nor yet too plump. She is just what a mother ought to be, with kind, shining eyes, and soft cheeks. She is always cooking things or doing things for Jehosophat and Marmaduke and little Hepzebiah.
Father—the neighbours call him Neighbour Green—is very strong. He can lift big weights and manage bad horses. He can do lots of work and yet somehow he finds time to do things for the children too.
His eyes are blue, while mother’s are brown. When he laughs, Marmaduke thinks it sounds like the church-bells on Sunday. Once he had a moustache but that went when mother said he would look younger without it. Now sometimes, when he works hard, he does not have time to shave every day. On Sunday mornings Hepzebiah loves to watch him take the brush and cup. The cup has flowers painted on it. When he turns the brush in the cup it makes something like whipped cream, or the top of mother’s lemon pies.
And after he takes it off with the razor his face is red and shiny and smooth.
Tonight you have met all the family so we must stop for the clock says “after seven.” Tomorrow we will meet all the animals and they are really part of the family too.


TOMORROW NEVER DIES
A Film Review by Brian Takeshita
Rating: **1/2 out of ****
The world is faced with a new threat: The media. Elliot Carver is a media mogul so powerful that he is able to manipulate events so that "Tomorrow", his flagship paper, has first coverage. Carver's latest plot takes the form of provoking a war between China and England by sinking a British warship in the South China Sea and making it look as if the Chinese are responsible. The end goal? Install a puppet government in Beijing which will grant Carver exclusive broadcasting rights in the country for the next 100 years. To combat this threat, we've got the same old hero: James Bond.
For the second time, Pierce Brosnan plays the unflappable operative from Her Majesty's Secret Service, and you can tell he's already comfortable with the role. This is not necessarily a compliment, as Brosnan's minimalistic performance in being the suave secret agent can easily be mistaken for simply running through the motions. It's okay, though. Brosnan seems to have been accepted into the Bond fandom, so he probably won't be saddled with the same fate which befell George Lazenby.
Opposite Brosnan are Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin, a Chinese agent, and Teri Hatcher as Paris Carver, the villain's wife. Between these two new Bond women, Yeoh wins hands down. Hatcher may be attractive, but her performance in this film is entirely subpar, giving way to the acting and athletic abilities of Yeoh. She has some moves which make Bond look absolutely brutish.
It is often said that the villain makes the Bond film, and TOMORROW NEVER DIES has a great one in Carver, played so wonderfully by Jonathan Pryce. Starting a war to get broadcasting rights. You have to admire such a delicious plan, which is not bent on world domination, but rather opening up a new market. Capitalism, not communism, seems to be the enemy in this one, and Carver seems to revel in the fact that wealth and power can be gained through control of information. Pryce plays the role with relish, chewing scenery whenever the opportunity arises.
One of the things you can depend on about a Bond movie is the action. In this film, the viewer is not disappointed, as we are treated to fights, chases, and unique uses of the BMW 750i. All of the action is well choreographed, and the stunts are first rate. The only problem is that it is all mere eye candy and zero tension. Bond has been through this so many times, you know he's going to be all right. I mean, the man has not only defied death, he's defied AGE.
It seems to me that James Bond movies are often evaluated on a set of criteria separate from the rest of cinema.  While watching the film, we wait for the pre-credits stunt, then the mission briefing and the little banter with Moneypenny, then the visit with Q to get his toys, then the encounter with the villain and the femme fatale, during which he introduces himself as "Bond, James Bond," then his order of a "vodka martini, shaken, not stirred," then his fight with some of the villain's henchmen, then his capture by the villain and subsequent escape, then his return to the villain's hideout to foil the evil plan to take over the world. Did I miss anything? Oh, yes, his fight to the death with the villain's chief thug, which occurs just prior to the villain's island/airplane/space station/ship exploding in a ball of fire.
If this were to occur in a sequel for any other series of films, it would be criticized to no end for its lack of originality. The fact that there have been 17 previous Bond movies, all of which pretty much followed the same formula, says something. It says that Bond has become so much of a cultural icon that all we seem to want is more of him, even if it's more of the same. In fact, I would even go so far as to say that we don't even want to see the formula changed. Remember when they tried to make Bond monogamous in LIVING DAYLIGHTS? It didn't work, because it just wasn't Bond. The problem with the Bond series is, because the formula has been used time and time again to the point where we all know what's going to happen, what used to be exciting is now merely amusing, and each Bond film can only strive to make itself more amusing than the last.
So here we are with TOMORROW NEVER DIES, and the formula is followed once again. Rather than scoff at the repetition, however, we chuckle with recognition at each of the milestones which must be part of the Bond movie. The familiarity is actually very comfortable, and an experience which can actually be shared between generations, as the first Bond film premiered in 1962. What's new about this film is that it's not trying to milk the last vestiges of the dying Soviet legacy for plot. This one fully recognizes that the Cold War is, in fact, finally over, and doesn't try to raise the specter of reawakening communism, as did two out of the last three films. I believe this film deserves applause, just for being a little different.

Today the market is not based on simple code and algorithms, from the past years it has grown over many terms and the industry is fastly pacing toward a industry which is predominantly customer based and relations attained.
“One doesn’t close a sale, it opens up a relationship, if there is long term and successful goal in play” - Warren Buffett
A conference for people who build developer communities and developer experiences. Join professionals from across the world to learn and share about how to build developer communities and products that developers love.
We'll have a day of developer relations, community, marketing and developer experience talks and networking. Whether you're building APIs, tools, communities or a developer go-to-market plan you need to be at DevRelCon in Hackference India.
Hackference India provides this platform to developers, tech enthusiast and tech evangelist to come across and provide a platform to showcase their idea to the individual of the same and would help to being it the innovation.
No Boundaries.
Theres is no boundation to idea and it’s application and reference, a developer is like a feature factory and works majorly on the following steps in a Developer Relation Conference :
No measurement.
Teams do not measure the impact of their work. Or, if measurement happens, it is done in isolation by the team and selectively shared. There is no measure of the central idea or the schematics.
No tweaking.
Once work is “done”, the team moves immediately onto the next “project”, leaving no time to iterate based on qualitative and quantitative data.
The large amount of ideas and data that flows in general or the given around the metrics of the larger idea to grow into something which can actually generate revenue to the core.
The aim of the conference is to provide local software developers a buffet of tools, practices and principles applicable to tackling current challenges in the Mauritian software development environment. From keeping up to date with the latest technologies and trends to tackling the challenges of working in large enterprise systems – it’s a buffet of experiences, ideas and pragmatic advice as well as an opportunity to connect with peers across the industry.

Most processes initiated by UNIX commands write to the standard output, (that is, they write to the terminal screen), and many take their input from the standard input (that is, they read it from the keyboard). There is also the standard error, where processes write their error messages, by default, to the terminal screen.
We have already seen one use of the cat command to write the contents of a file to the screen.
Now type cat without specifing a file to read
% cat
Then type a few words on the keyboard and press the [Return]
key.
Finally hold the [Ctrl]
key down and press [d]
(written
as ^D for short) to end the input.
What has happened?
If you run the cat command without specifing a file to read, it reads the standard input (the keyboard), and on receiving the'end of file' (^D), copies it to the standard output (the screen).
In UNIX, we can redirect both the input and the output of commands.
We use the > symbol to redirect the output of a command. For example, to create a file called list1 containing a list of fruit, type
% cat > list1
Then type in the names of some fruit. Press [Return]
after each
one.
pear
banana
apple
^D (Control D to stop)
What happens is the cat command reads the standard input (the keyboard) and the > redirects the output, which normally goes to the screen, into a file called list1
To read the contents of the file, type
% cat list1
Using the above method, create another file called list2 containing the following fruit: orange, plum, mango, grapefruit. Read the contents of list2
The form >> appends standard output to a file. So to add more items to the file list1, type
% cat >> list1
Then type in the names of more fruit
peach
grape
orange
^D (Control D to stop)
To read the contents of the file, type
% cat list1
You should now have two files. One contains six fruit, the other contains four fruit. We will now use the cat command to join (concatenate) list1 and list2 into a new file called biglist. Type
% cat list1 list2 > biglist
What this is doing is reading the contents of list1 and list2 in turn, then outputing the text to the file biglist
To read the contents of the new file, type
% cat biglist
NOTE: You can also directly add the content of list1 to list2:
% cat list1 >>list2
We can now check the differences between biglist and list2 using
the command % diff biglist list2diff
We use the < symbol to redirect the input of a command.
The command sort
alphabetically or numerically sorts a list.
Type
% sort
Then type in the names of some vegetables. Press [Return]
after
each one.
carrot
beetroot
artichoke
^D (control d to stop)
The output will be
artichoke
beetroot
carrot
Using < you can redirect the input to come from a file rather than the keyboard. For example, to sort the list of fruit, type
% sort < biglist
and the sorted list will be output to the screen.
To output the sorted list to a file, type,
% sort < biglist > slist
Use cat
to read the contents of the file slist
To see which processes run on your computer, type
% ps
One method to get a sorted list of process (here by numerical id) is to type,
% ps > processes.txt
% sort -n < processes.txt
This is a bit slow and you have to remember to remove the temporary file called
processes.txt when you have finished. What you really want to do
is connect the output of the ps
command directly to the input of the
sort
command. This is exactly what pipes do. The symbol for a pipe is
the vertical bar | .
For example, typing
% ps | sort -n
will give the same result as above, but quicker and cleaner.
To find out how many processes are currently running, type
% ps | wc -l
Count the number of sequences in the FASTA file tutorial_R1_001.fa:
cat tutorial_R1_001.fa | grep ">" | wc -l
command > file |
redirect standard output to a file |
command >> file |
append standard output to a file |
command < file |
redirect standard input from a file |
command1 | command2 |
pipe the output of command1 to the input of command2 |
cat file1 file2 > file0 |
concatenate file1 and file2 to file0 |
sort |
sort data |
ps |
processes currently running. |
diff file1 file2 |
difference between two files |

My experience with Morning Glory came when I was looking for an alternative to Mushrooms, which were pretty hard on my stomach. I did much research and decided this would be an excellent substance to try. I ordered 28grams of Heavenly Blue Morning Glory seeds. After what seemed like a wait forever, they came one day before the day of my intended trip. We were planning on going to the Art Museum in our city for our big day. We usually like to do stimulating activities while under control of psychotropic substances.
The morning of my adventure came; I woke up around 10:00 am, and went to have a breakfast, with two close friends. My only fear with morning glory was the nausea often associated with the seeds. So I thought having a light meal and some ginger or marijuana would help things digest.
After Breakfast, my friends and I put on some music, and started munching 250 seeds each. There was some debate prior to this as to up the dose to maybe 300, given that we were certainly not rookie trippers, never the less after countless, we all agreed this should be fine for our first time.
Chewing the seeds to a fine pulp and allowing them to sit in my mouth while the active chemical is absorbed isn’t the most pleasant thing in the world.
So after finishing our piles, we thought it would be a good idea to relax until we started to feel the LSA. After about 25 minutes of ingesting the seeds, my nausea had grown to the point of vomiting, and promptly emptied my guts in the sink. Immediate relief fell over me. We decided it was time to go.
Walking down the street, we all began to feel it, very subtle alterations of perceptions time and sound; nothing too intense at all. As these feelings grew, so did the nausea of one of my other friends. We went into a small park, and sat on a bench so he could relax. The bricks, which laid the walkway, seemed to bubble, and alter. Hypnotizing geometric patterns fell over me, while still having a relativity “clear” head. I stood up to look around at some statues, when my friend vomited quickly into a snow bank. After immediately feeling relief from a stomach full of seeds, we proceeded to the art gallery.
On the way, I felt much better almost thinking that I was sober, when in fact this was just the dip in the first wave of LSA. LSA, much like LSD has an initial, coming up and plateau, following by up and down waves of effect.
Upon arrival at the gallery, we quickly paid our fee and enjoyed the first couple of paintings. We passed a series of human sculptures of wood, which seemed to come to life and know what we were doing. We entered a main gallery room with bright colored paintings riddling the wall and a tape of an artist speaking on their life in repeat. Things started to pick up, my friend who hadn’t vomited said he was tripping pretty hard and wasn’t feeling the best. I agreed with that statement and thought I was going to vomit again. I went to the bathroom and just sat, alone and collected my thoughts, I felt better. With the tiles in the bathroom all-blending together in geometric patterns, I joined my friends again, and sensed this wasn’t the place for us now.
I felt very lethargic, heavy, slow, tired and dazed, after realizing that things were only getting worse we re-evaluated our scene and decided to get a cab, and go back to our residence. While the three of us just relaxed in our friend’s room, we lost all perception of time. Closing my eyes, my brain seemed to flash random images and thoughts with no conceivable similarities.
With my friends feeling slight abdominal discomfort I suggested we go smoke some pot to try to feel some relief. They agreed, and after a long battle to will our tired bodies up and outside we left the building. We smoked for a while, and the pot hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve never felt any sort of pot high like that before. With the pot not really doing a whole lot for my friends, a Police Car, screeching right by us with full lights and sound, interrupted our thoughts. Terrible vibrations were all around us, as we walked away.
I felt an interesting surrealism much like first vibes of mushroom high. Over dinner I felt more and more paranoid and afraid of my surroundings and just wanted to be somewhere where there wasn’t so much activity. I went home and fell into bed while listening to some Radiohead and fell into a deep trance sleep state. I woke up about an hour later, feeling much more normal and after a quick bite to eat. Began to write this.
My entire ordeal lasted from about 12-6 p.m. with subtle after effects for many hours. In retrospect the trip was very interest and like nothing any of us had ever experienced before. It was a constant battle with our bodies, and minds, which proved to be exhausting.
In reality the only “bad” part of the trip was the stomach discomfort, pain, and nausea, which greatly influenced our experiences. We agreed that without the stomach upset this would be a very mystical experience, I thought epically when mixed with Cannabis. Our bodies were not designed to ingest mass quantities of seeds.

Mourinho ‘happy’ after winning first game in charge of Spurs
LONDON, Nov 23 — Jose Mourinho said he was “happy” with his players after delivering Tottenham’s first away win in the Premier League since January in his first game in charge with a 3-2 win at West Ham on Saturday.
Son Heung-min, Lucas Moura and Harry Kane scored the goals as Mourinho made an instant impact after replacing the sacked Mauricio Pochettino on Wednesday.
Spurs were cruising at 3-0 up and although Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna scored for the home side, it was too little too late.
The win rockets Spurs up the league table to sixth, but still eight points behind champions Manchester City in fourth spot, having played a game more.
“I was really happy before we conceded the two goals, we were playing well, bringing to the game things we had tried in training,” Mourinho told BT Sport. “And we had the ball to make it 4-0 and kill the game.
‘We are lucky I have so many years in the Premier League so I told the players at half-time ‘even if we are 3-0 in the 85th minute the game will still be open’.
‘But there were also many factors. The emotions of losing the previous manager, people coming back from national teams and fatigue in the last 20 minutes.
‘The most important thing was to win, no matter how. The boys are happy and that’s what I really wanted.”
Spurs midfielder Dele Alli said: “It’s been a very tough week for us emotionally. We’ve spent a long time with Pochettino and we were very sad but we had a job to do. We had to go out for the fans and try and stay as positive as we can.”
“We have to carry on momentum and keep winning, we need to start that from now,” he added. “There is still a lot to work on and we need to improve from now on.” — AFP

Our room numbers are located on the schedule page. However, the numbering system maybe confusing for some people. If the room is 9201 for example, the 9 means the the building (which is always the cantor), the 2 would be the floor you are on. The floor for this instance would be the 2nd floor. The final two numbers 01 suggest the room number on that floor. There will be directions on the day and feel free to ask a member of our team.
Just go to the schedule page, pick your chosen event and click either 'book now' or 'guest booking' (book now is for Sheffield Hallam students and staff only). Then, pick your event and follow the instructions on screen.
Pathways is located in the Cantor building at Sheffield Hallam. If you are wondering where the building is based, please have a look at our map and address at the bottom of this page.

luafcgid is a multithreaded FastCGI server that runs under BSD/Linux. It manages a number of independent, persistent Lua states, that are then loaded with Lua scripts from the file system. These scripts are loaded/initialized on demand, and held in memory for as long as possible. The Lua scripts are also allowed to interface with the FastCGI libraries: thus providing an extremely fast, streamlined and lightweight platform from which to develop web-centric apps in Lua.
There is a support forum available at http://forum.luahub.com/index.php?board=17.0
See the LICENSE file included with the source code
All development testing is done with the following server platform:
Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz Intel MB chipset Intel Pro+ 1GB ethernet 256MB RAM
NOTE: Further testing may be done on other platforms when available. Volunteers welcome.
See the INSTALL file for your platform. If you do not see a INSTALL file for your platform, then you can try to use the generic build by running:
# sh configure
# make
You may have to modify the Makefile created by the configure script, and will have to install manually. Any platform or distribution-specific Makefiles and initd/rc.d scripts are always welcome and can be submitted by github pull request, or to the support forum:
http://forum.luahub.com/index.php?board=17.0
Add the following lines to your server{} section:
location ~ \.lua$ {
# for BSD/Linux
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/tmp/luafcgid.sock;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}
NOTE: make sure your root directive is set correctly
luafcgid spawns and manages a number of worker threads that each contain an isolated blocking accept loop. The FastCGI libraries provide a connect queue for each worker thread so that transient load spikes can be handled with a minimum of fuss.
+---------------+
+-->| worker thread |--+ +-------------+
+----------+ | +---------------+ | | scripts |
| luafcgid |--+ +-- mutex -->| loaded into |
+----------+ | +---------------+ | | | Lua states |

| +---------------+ |

+------------- housekeeping ----------+
Lua is then introduced into the picture by created a shared Lua state for each Lua script that is requested. A script can also be loaded into more then one state if heavily requested. All scripts - including duplicates (clones) - are completely isolated from each other. After a state is initialized and loaded with a script, it is kept in memory for as long as possible. This allows for persistence across HTTP requests. Each Lua VM is run within a worker thread as needed. The use of on-demand clones allows for multiple workers to run the same popular script. There is a configurable limit to the total number of Lua states that luafcgid will maintain. When this limit is reached, popularity and aging are used to decide which states to flush and reload with a new script.
Global housekeeping is run on a regular cycle (heartbeat) independent of requests. Current tasks include flushing any loaded scripts that have been modified. More tasks may be added in the future.
