The idea of “Radical agility” was first conceptualized by three Agile experts, Jean-Pascal Boignard, Claude Aubry, and Anthony Cassaigne. This concept aims at refocusing agility on its original values while extending it to current preoccupations in order to better prepare for the future. As defined by its creators, radical agility encompasses three dimensions:
- the social,
- the attention of the living,
- and the refusal of the “faux-agile”
[The term “faux-agile” comes from a conference hosted by Martin Fowler, one of the authors of the agile manifesto. It includes everything that disregards agile values and principles.]
The will to go back to the roots of agility is not new, nor unique. Several definitions of “the essence of agility” exist: Modern Agile, Heart of Agile, … Indeed, over the years, among the teams and the companies that have encompassed the agile principles, many of them have gone astray. For instance:
- by focusing too much on the rites and rhythms as defined in the different agile methodologies (sprint planning, daily stand-up meeting, retrospective, …)
- by executing plans and following processes in a rigid way
- by setting fixed goals and contracts instead of adapting to change
- …
But radical agility goes a step further. In addition to being faithful to the original expression of the 2001 agile manifesto, the concept of radical agility strives to make it more explicit, more applicable regarding today’s challenges, which are not quite the same as they were 20 years ago.
What is Radical Agility?
When defining the concept of radical agility, Jean-Pascal, Claude and Anthony went back to the original agile manifesto and extended its 4 propositions in order to better consider the current situation. Their proposal goes as follow:
Source: L’art de devenir une équipe agile (The art of becoming an agile team), by Claude Aubry, illustrated by Etienne Appert.
The main idea behind the radical agility manifesto is to develop products and services that bring value to the client and the users, a value that is not only economical but also social and ecological.
Let’s dive into the 4 relative values of the agile manifesto and how they evolve in the radical agility manifesto:
1. Individuals and interactions (over processes and tools)
Everyone agrees on the fundamental importance of the human aspect highlighted by the manifesto. However, we can see that processes still play a very important role in organizations and that tools are often imposed on people and constrain their interactions rather than encouraging them.
This part of the manifesto tackles the way to work as a team: how? With whom? The team is itself a complex system. In order to better consider individuals and their interactions, reflections have multiplied on the notion of leadership in an agile team, many solutions have emerged to facilitate decision-making in a group, and the notion of collective intelligence has developed strongly. One concept has long been discussed, which would be more evocative of the desired way of working as a team: self-organization.
[As defined by the scrum dictionary, a self-organized team is one that chooses how best to accomplish its work, rather than being directed (micro-managed) by others outside the team.]
Of course, we still value people and interactions more than processes and tools. But beyond people and interactions, radical agility promotes self-organization.
2. Working software (over comprehensive documentation)
The second sentence of the agile manifesto states that “seeing the software working [should be preferred to] having comprehensive documentation”. According to Claude, Jean-Pascal, and Anthony, this second point of the agile manifesto is probably the least understood. It deals with the way the team works, its approach, its life cycle.
It values light and empirical processes based on an iterative approach more than a heavy and predictive process based on successive phases (like in the waterfall or the V-cycle models). And at the end of each iterative cycle, the software should work on itself, allowing for feedback from users and wider stakeholders: the feedback loops. This also implies that there will be some specification, some design, some coding, and some testing in each cycle.
Thus stakeholders can assess the value that the product brings to them and propose an evolution for the next cycle so that this value keeps growing. By frequently facing the people concerned by what the team does, the social value of the product or service, as defined by David Graeber in his book Bullshit Jobs, is ensured:
“Taking care of each other so that everyone is freer, enjoys life, enjoys freedom, and has a pleasant leisure time”.
It is this radical approach that we defend seeing the software work more than having its full documentation, but ensuring the social value of the product or service at each feedback loop even more than seeing the software work.
3. Customer collaboration (over contract negotiation)
The third point of the agile manifesto states that “the collaboration with the client [should count] more than the negotiation of the contract”. Indeed, a contract implies a precise description of the expected product, including specifications, and the project owner ordering the realization to the project manager.
While this can be reasonable for anyone working in an industry or in a regulated field, this type of organization does not work in the field of knowledge work. Indeed:
- it is impossible to specify in advance what the final product will be,
- defining the product specifications in advance is even counterproductive because it pushes to develop features that will not be used,
- the separation into two entities – one that writes the contract, the other that executes it – maintains a harmful distrust.
With this in mind, a new position emerged and gained importance with the release of Scrum: the role of Product Owner, representing customers and users inside the team of developers. He is the one responsible for steering the product towards what brings the most value iteration after iteration. Here comes the question of the value.
In our western societies, we usually consider primarily business value, oriented towards end-users. At first, it seems quite logical: to maximize the benefits for those who use it. However, considering the product business value only can entail biases and pernicious effects:
- putting aside its social and ecological usefulness,
- making team members involved in the project work against their personal ethics,
- and even contributing to the destruction of biodiversity and the acceleration of climate change.
Radical agility does not stop at the collaboration with the customer to simply increase business value. Beyond the collaboration with the client, we take into account the impact on living beings.
4. Responding to change (over following a plan)
The last of the 4 relative values of the agile manifesto urges teams to “adapt to change more than follow the plan”.
When the Agile Manifesto was released in 2001, the grail of project management was to finish on time according to the deadlines defined in the original plan. The manifesto does not say that following a plan is wrong. In fact, every sprint following the Scrum methodology has a plan. The problem is trying to follow the plan at all costs. Especially when the original plan was made when the team had little knowledge of the situation and has never been updated to adapt to changes that impact it.
So, rather than following the original plan, it is better to adapt to change. The second principle of the agile manifesto enlightens us on the intention of its creators: “Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness change for the customer’s competitive advantage.”
Agility makes it possible to build the right product by regularly (at each cycle) involving its users. However, it is the team that remains free to accept (or refuse) a proposition from users. What is toxic is when changes are imposed on the team, using power or urgency as an excuse. Indeed, some companies have adopted this mantra to the point that it becomes an injunction (“you have to adapt ») and use it as a pretext to make agile teams undergo all possible changes.
This behavior can be quite harmful to the team, especially when these changes undermine the team’s self-organization. If everything changes all the time, teams cannot be safe.
“This is why we propose this evolution of the manifesto: adapting to change more than following the plan, but beyond adapting to (undergone) change, we want to become the desired change”, the three experts explain. “And we hope that the desired change will be more and more concerned with social value and the impact on living beings.”
The origins of the concept of Radical Agility
The idea of radical agility came up to Jean-Pascal, Claude Aubry, and Anthony during the first confinement period in France, in spring 2020.
“We used to organize in-person book clubs on all topics closely or remotely related to Agile in Toulouse, south of France. With the pandemic, we switched to online, more frequent, and lighter events, focusing on articles rather than books that take longer to read. One of the klubs (as we call them) that happened in March 2020 was focusing on an article written by the sociologist and philosopher Bruno Latour, ‘Imagining barrier gestures against the return to pre-crisis production’ (originally written in French but here is the English version). This article was urging each and every one of us to reflect on where we want to go, and how to get out of productivism. It inspired us to create a tool: the Confinement Retro, and it all started from there.”
[The Confinement Retro available in French here: https://agileradical.org/outils/retroconf/]
This klub helped Claude, Jean-Pascal, and Anthony realize they were sharing a common will to act on the climate and social emergency. As they conceived it, the confinement retro is an opportunity to reflect on the meaning. It goes further than a classic retrospective, focusing on the way of doing things, and challenges what the team produces.
Soon after, Claude, Jean-Pascal, and Anthony were asked to participate in a Keynote organized by the collective “Online agile”. In front of over 300 participants, they laid the first bricks of radical agility, encompassing the social dimension, considering the impacts on living beings, and solving the struggle of false agile.
“The extension of the notion of value is the key we were missing to reconcile the battles we want to lead and to align our personal and professional values. Getting together around these values was easy since we were sharing for almost 10 years a common reading base.”
“In retrospect, defining the concept of radical agility was like finding a seed that germinated during the confinement, and that deserved attention. It is above all our discussions and sharing knowledge that made the initial idea grow, and that also favored our individual growth.”
How to start with Radical Agility?
The entire initiative is based on Anthony, Claude, and Jean-Pascal’s rooted hope towards the new generation to question the meaning of their work, to lift the contradictions on agile, and have a positive social and environmental impact.
“We are convinced that a lot of people in the digital and development environment are interested in aligning their work with their ideas, values, and will to act against global warming, for the conservation of biodiversity, and to reduce our impact on the planet. Those will find with what we propose ways to act by themselves in their organization, to make concrete change.”
The three experts recommend starting small. “If you share the values of radical agility, you can start by confronting your ideas with your team or with peers. On our website agileradical.org (in French), we try to make the concept of radical agility more accessible and applicable, in order to impact agile teams from the inside. You can find in there the confinement retro and kickoff canvas to set up a team and ask yourselves the right questions before jumping into agile. We picture serious games helping developers ask themselves the right questions. There’s still a lot to be invented.”
The website itself is a firefly illuminating these values, hoping that it will turn into a sun.

I am an incoming software engineer at Contrast Security, starting in June 2018. My favorite part about being a software engineer is the amount you can learn, all on your own. So far, I've really enjoyed learning about web application security. Additonally, I really enjoy full stack web development and endpoint agent development.
I will be joining the Integrations team, working with the Security team to investigate new types of web application vulnerabilities. I will then be implementing those vulnerabilities in full-stack web applications in different languages accross frameworks to ensure Contrast's agents detect and block them from being exploited
I have worked on three different teams as an intern at Contrast.
The first team I worked on was co-developing an open source applciation called DjanGoat which is an intentionally vulnerable web application. It is a Django application with either a MySQL or PostgreSQL database, utilizing Bootstrap 4 on the front end. The vulnerabilities we implmented were primarily in the OWASP Top 10. In addition, we also wrote tutorials on how to fix the vulnerabilities in the application to help educate users on Django vulnerabilities. Before this project, I had very little experience with application security, so this helped me gain a better understanding of the attacks that Contrast blocks
The next team I worked on was the Python agent team developing the Contrast Protect endpoint agent for WSGI applications. This team was starting out just as I joined, so I got to watch the project grow from the ground up. This agent works to block attacks on OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and more in a production environment. It then gives detailed reports of these attacks to a central application. As part of developing this, I was also creating unit tests and integration tests to make sure that the agent was behaving as expected and obtaining maximum code coverage.
I am now working on the .NET agent team, addding great new features to a Contrast product for several years now. These features give better reports to users of our product so they have a better idea of what happened in each attack. Additonally, I was also creating unit tests and integration tests to ensure that these features were functioning properly.
I started out at HSE as a software engineer, but became CTO as of May 2017. As a software engineer I primarily worked with organizations within HSE to design and develop new web sites for them and maintain their current ones. This includes setting up wordpress installations on the servers to allow non-technical members of the team to edit certain parts of the website as needed.
Since becoming CTO, I have continued my responsibilities from before. In addtion, I am much more involved with actually running HSE. I attend regular meetings to ensure busineses are up reaching certain milestones. I also work with them more closely to anticpate their technical needs going forward. I am in the process of picking and training a replacement.
As part of a semester-long project, I worked with a JHU CS professor and another undergrad to develop a web applicaiton to assist baseball broadcasters tell relevant stories at games. The assistant would update it's view in real time displaying many relevant stories based on an external input. The broadcaster would click on the story they liked based on a short summary.
In May 2017, we got the chance to demo this project for a broadcaster at a game of the Hagerstown Suns versus the Hickory Crawdads. The broadcaster was on one laptop viewing the stories as the appeared, while we were on another supplying the live input. Eventually, the humans providing input would be replaced by a computer system feeding relevant information to the system on what was happening in the game.
This was my first real experience with web development. I designed and implmented their new website. Next, I changed scopes and began working on their online reservation system. I resdesigned the front-end using responsive web design to make it more user friendly. I also implemented new features, like a standby reservation system.
Later on, I worked on a separate application that was used to visualize GPS data they receive from devices on the baots. It was my first full-stack experience. I created a database, designed the appropriate schemas, and populated it with data from csv files. Then, I wrote stored procedures for the database to determine things such as where a certain device was during a certain time period, or how fast a device was going over a certain time period. The stored procedures were called based on user input. Then, the results of these stored procedures was then passed to the front end for display using Google charts or Leaflet.js.
Apart from being a web developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the winter, I am an avid skiier and novice ice climber. During the warmer months here in Colorado, I enjoy mountain biking, free climbing, and kayaking.
When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies and television shows, I am an aspiring chef, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technolgy advancements in the front-end web development world.

This document defines an XSD datatype intended to support the floating-point decimal defined by IEEE 754.
IEEE 754 defines both floating-point binary and floating-point decimal formats. The binary formats have been widely adopted since their initial introduction; if the floating-point decimal formats are also widely adopted for applications, it will be convenient to be able to represent values of that type in XML documents or in other contexts where XSD datatypes are used.
The following terms are used in this specification with the meanings indicated.
Except as specified below, in this specification terms defined in [XSD 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes] have the meanings given there.
[Definition:] The precisionDecimal datatype represents decimal numbers which retain precision; it also includes values for positive and negative infinity and for "not a number", and it differentiates between "positive zero" and "negative zero". This datatype is introduced to provide a variant of decimal from which may be derived datatypes closely corresponding to the floating-point decimal datatypes described by [IEEE 754-2008].
The
datatype precisionDecimal draws its name from a
common usage of the term 'precision' to mean the
degree of accuracy with which a quantity is recorded. In this
usage, writing a number as '2
' or as
'2.00
' is taken as recording the value with less or
more precision.
NaN
' is the lexical
representation of the precisionDecimal value whose ·numericalValue· property has the special value
notANumber. Accordingly, in English text we
use 'NaN' to refer to that value.
Similarly we use 'INF' and
'−INF' to refer to the two values
whose ·numericalValue· properties have the
special values positiveInfinity and
negativeInfinity. These three precisionDecimal values
are also informally called "not-a-number",
"positive infinity", and "negative
infinity". The latter two together are called
"the infinities".INF

',
'-INF
', and 'NaN
'.

The lexical mapping for precisionDecimal is ·precisionDecimalLexicalMap·. The canonical mapping is ·precisionDecimalCanonicalMap·.

'INF

and 'NaN
', as well as those of
'INFINITY
'; in many cases it permits language
definitions to prescribe which variants are used. This
specification explicitly chooses only 'INF
'
and 'NaN
'. 754 also permits language
definitions to prescribe whether '+
' shall be
used with positive values; this specification makes the
'+
' optional.0.1
' maps, in double, to
0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625.
If the , ·minScale·, and ·maxScale·
facets were available for double (they are not) and were
used to define the float type (again, they are not), the
value just mentioned would be dropped, and the literal
'0.1
' would be dropped along with it,
instead of mapping (as in fact it does) to the value
0.100000001490116119384765625.The precisionDecimal datatype and all datatypes derived from it by restriction have the following ·constraining facets· with fixed values; these facets must not be changed from the values shown:
Datatypes derived by restriction from precisionDecimal may also specify values for the following ·constraining facets·:
The precisionDecimal datatype has the following values for its ·fundamental facets·:
The assertions, enumeration, maxInclusive, maxExclusive, minExclusive, minInclusive, and pattern facets defined by [XSD 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes] can be used in deriving new types from precisionDecimal by restriction; their meaning and use are as documented in [XSD 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes].
The totalDigits facet defined by [XSD 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes] can also be used. Its meaning, when applied to values of type precisionDecimal, is described in totalDigits (§4.1). Except as otherwise specified in totalDigits (§4.1), all the constraints on the use of the totalDigits facet described in [XSD 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes] continue to apply when the facet is used with precisionDecimal values.
In addition, two facets not defined by [XSD 1.1 Part 2: Datatypes] can be used when restricting precisionDecimal. They are described in maxScale (§4.2) and minScale (§4.3).
For precisionDecimal values with ·numericalValue· of nV and ·scale· of aP, if the value of is t, the effect of the facet is to require that (aP + 1 + log10(| nV |) div 1) ≤ t, for values other than zero, NaN, and the infinities. This means in effect that values are expressible in scientific notation using at most t digits for the coefficient.
[Definition:] maxScale places an upper limit on the ·scale· of precisionDecimal values: if the {value} of maxScale = m, then only values with ·scale· ≤ m are retained in the value space. As a consequence, every value in the value space will have ·numericalValue· equal to i / 10n for some integers i and n, with n ≤ m. The {value} of maxScale must be an integer. If it is negative, the numeric values of the datatype are restricted to multiples of 10 (or 100, or …).
The term 'maxScale' is chosen to reflect the fact that it restricts the value space to those values that can be represented lexically in scientific notation using an integer coefficient and a scale (or negative exponent) no greater than maxScale. (It has nothing to do with the use of the term 'scale' to denote the radix or base of a notation.) Note that maxScale does not restrict the lexical space directly; a lexical representation that adds non-significant leading or trailing zero digits, or that uses a lower exponent with a non-integer coefficient is still permitted.
<simpleType name='decimal32'> <restriction base='precisionDecimal'> <totalDigits value='7'/> <maxScale value='95'/> <minScale value='-96'/> </restriction> </simpleType>
If {fixed} is true, then types for which the current type is the {base type definition} must not specify a value for maxScale other than {value}.
The XML representation for a maxScale schema component is a <maxScale> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:
maxScale
Element Information Item[Definition:] minScale places a lower limit on the ·scale· of precisionDecimal values. If the {value} of minScale is m, then the value space is restricted to values with ·scale· ≥ m. As a consequence, every value in the value space will have ·numericalValue· equal to i / 10n for some integers i and n, with n ≥ m.
The term minScale is chosen to reflect the fact that it restricts the value space to those values that can be represented lexically in exponential form using an integer coefficient and a scale (negative exponent) at least as large as minScale. Note that it does not restrict the lexical space directly; a lexical representation that adds additional leading zero digits, or that uses a larger exponent (and a correspondingly smaller coefficient) is still permitted.
DECIMAL(8,2)
. The effect is to allow values
between -999,999.99 and 999,999.99, with a fixed interval
of 0.01 between values.
<simpleType name='price'> <restriction base='precisionDecimal'> <totalDigits value='8'/> <minScale value='2'/> <maxScale value='2'/> </restriction> </simpleType>
If {fixed} is true, then types for which the current type is the {base type definition} must not specify a value for minScale other than {value}.
The XML representation for a minScale schema component is a <minScale> element information item. The correspondences between the properties of the information item and properties of the component are as follows:
minScale
Element Information ItemNote that it is not an error for minScale to be greater than .
All minimally conforming processors must support all precisionDecimal values in the value space of the otherwise unconstrained derived datatype for which is set to sixteen, maxScale to 369, and minScale to −398.
[XPath 2.0] does not currently require support for the precisionDecimal datatype, but conforming XPath processors are allowed to support additional primitive data types, including precisionDecimal.
For interoperability, it is recommended that XPath processors
intending to support precisionDecimal as an additional
primitive data type follow the recommendations in [Chamberlin 2006]. If the XPath processor used to
evaluate XPath expressions supports precisionDecimal, then any
precisionDecimal values in the post-schema-validation infoset should be labeled as
xs:precisionDecimal
in the data model instance
and handled accordingly in XPath.
If the XPath processor does not support precisionDecimal, then any precisionDecimal values in the post-schema-validation infoset should be mapped into decimal, unless the ·numericalValue· is not a decimal number (for example, it is positiveInfinity, negativeInfinity, or notANumber), in which case they should be mapped to float. Whether this is done by altering the type information in the partial post-schema-validation infoset, or by altering the usual rules for mapping from a post-schema-validation infoset to an [XDM] data model instance, or by treating precisionDecimal as an unknown type which is coerced as appropriate into decimal or float by the XPath processor, is implementation-defined and out of scope for this specification.
As a consequence of the above variability, it is possible that XPath expressions that perform various kinds of type introspections will produce different results when different XPath processors are used. If the schema author wishes to ensure interoperable results, such introspections will need to be avoided.

Mexico Declines President Trump's Offer for 'War' Against Cartels
In the aftermath of a gruesome cartel massacre where gunmen killed nine women and children from a U.S. family and injured several others, Mexico’s president declined the help of U.S. military and security forces to go to “war” with cartels.
by Ildefonso Ortiz and Brandon DarbyDuring his morning press conference, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) said war is the worst way to deal with cartels and that those who have lived it, know it. The statement came in response to a series of tweets by President Donald Trump, stating that the U.S. was ready to go to “war” upon invitation.
As Breitbart Texas reported, members of the Lebaron family were traveling the mountainous area between Sonora and Chihuahua, just south of New Mexico when a convoy of gunmen attacked, killing three women and six children while injuring at least six others.
“We thank President Trump and the European governments that want to help, but this is tied to our sovereignty,” Lopez Obrador said claiming that he would have a phone conversation with Trump during the day.
During his conference, Lopez Obrador said there would be no impunity, but war was not the answer. Lopez Obrador claimed in the past that his government will not fight drug cartels with violence, but through economic opportunities and social programs. The approach earned criticism following the failed operation in Culiacan, Sinaloa, when the Mexican military was forced to release one of the sons of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman after gunmen overpowered security forces and threatened to murder innocent women and children.

This is the 2 minute video assesment from Joaquin Atienza, the video is a short Terror film in .mp4 video format, it was film at the Otago Campus, a girl that stays working till late is being chase by a misterious shadow..
We (Samantha , Jasmine , Joaquin) decide to make a Terror film, Samantha was the main character, I was the main villain and Jasmine was the camera. The video wa divided into 3 steps
-First the scenes where decided, originally four; At the university, at the elevetor, going back home and the final confrontation.
-Then we proceded to the shooting, two days taking all types of shots, this videos where shared by all of us, but not all want them shared so if you want them you can mail at the main menu.
-Third step was to make the film terror, this was the individual task, after learning how to used movie maker
on cynda
we make the video, we download some music from https://www.zapsplat.com, especially suspense and terror music and make the video.
After submitting the video we include some cut escenes that produce more realise, like when the keys felt, that escenes focus the film so the back of the main character is not seen, this is a visual effect
very used, we tried to used some here to.
The phase one of this video was upload but there is this Screenshot of my work. After this phase I focus more on the music and try to sincronise it with the film , so the peaks of the suspense music reach at the same time
the student is being chase. (that was the problem on phase one subbit in class)
This is my work, I hope you like it.


Manchester United 'to compete' with West Brom for loan star as Baggies get Grady Diangana update
West Bromwich Albion latest | We take a look at Sunday's big Baggies talking points as the international break continues and the January transfer window gets closer
by Josh MurrayMan Utd's Pereira 'interest'
West Bromwich Albion could face Premier League competition if they look to make Matheus Pereira's loan deal permanent.
The 23-year-old has been in impressive form since joining the Baggies on a season-long loan from Sporting Lisbon in the summer.
He has scored three goals and registered a staggering nine assists so far to help his side to the Championship summit.
And according to the Mirror, those performances have impressed talent spotters at Manchester United, who have been keeping tabs on Pereira's progress.
The report suggests a number of Premier League clubs have been impressed with his early-season form, who see him as a low-risk signing at the price quoted.

West Brom fans have been having their say on reports linking Pereira with a shock move to Old Trafford.
It is widely expected that the Baggies will look to turn Pereira's loan deal into a permanent one in the coming months, but reports in the national press have claimed that there is also top-flight interest.
Pereira’s parent club are already preparing for life without the midfielder.
Reports in Portugal have claimed that the Baggies are expected to exercise their option to bring him to the Hawthorns permanently in January, with Sporting already planning what they will do with the funds they recoup.
So what do Baggies supporters make of outside interest in one of their star loanees?
Diangana set for Hawthorns stay?
Grady Diangana is set on staying with West Bromwich Albion, despite West Ham having the option to recall him in January.
The 21-year-old has been an integral part of Slaven Bilic’s side as they have raced to the top of the Championship.
An injury to Hammers forward Manuel Lanzini had raised the possibility of Manuel Pellegrini recalling Diangana, serving as a cruel reminder of the Harvey Barnes situation of last January.
But Pellegrini has hinted that he wants the youngster to stay with Albion’s promotion chasers and that feeling is mutual, according to Football Insider.

PRETTY WOMAN [Probable Spoilers] Reviewer: Jaye Mathisen Copyright 1990 Jaye Mathisen
Summary: A wealthy businessman meets a hooker on Hollywood Boulevard, and it's love, love, love. I mean this kind of thing happens all the time right?
Richard Gere plays Edward Lewis, a powerful, aggressive, and very rich business man who buys up companies, and spits out the pieces for profit. With his limousine jammed in a parking lot, he grabs his lawyers' Lotus Esprit. After the standard "Where's first?" and "How to use a clutch," he ends up lost on Hollywood Boulevard looking for driving lessons, and directions to his ritzy hotel in Beverly Hills.
Enter Vivian Ward (Julia Roberts), a hooker, who needs rent money. For twenty bucks, she not only gives him directions to his hotel, but also drives him there after he gives up handling the Esprit in exasperation. After arriving at the hotel, Edward almost leaves her outside waiting for a bus back to Hollywood Boulevard, but finally decides to invite her up to his room.
There are some cute scenes where they enter the hotel, accompanied by the expected dropped jaws, tongues on floor etc. etc. After reaching Edwards' room, Edward is a little at a loss as to where to start the evening, but we find out that Edward is very serious about what he does, he has no current romantic interests, he doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, doesn't do drugs, and finds watching Vivian watch 'I Love Lucy' to be a turn-on.
Later, we find that Edward is in the process of buying out a large corporation, and that the owner of the corporation wants to chat with Edward about his plans for the company. On his lawyer's advice, Edward is to make the evening a social event, rather than a business meeting, so he needs a date. After some tough negotiating in the tub, Vivian agrees to be at Edwards' beck and call, for the remainder of the week for the paltry sum of three thousand dollars.
Romance blossoms, with Vivian falling in love with Edward, and Edward (in his own way) falling in love with Vivian. There are some funny scenes including a scene in a restaurant with the ages old dilemma of which fork to use, pointers on how not to deal with escargot, and scenes of Vivian trying to shop on Rodeo Drive while not dressed appropriately. After being asked to leave a swanky clothes shop, Vivian returns to the hotel, only to be greeted by the manager (Hector Elizondo), who suggests that since Mr. Lewis is such an important person to the hotel, they will permit her to stay, but as soon as Mr. Lewis goes home to New York, they'd rather not see her at the hotel again.
One scene that had me in stitches occurs when Edward finds out that the one shop on Rodeo Drive threw Vivian out, and he takes her to another dress shop, where they spend "an obscene amount of money" for clothes and some general "sucking-up." The manager of this store reminded me of Wesson oil.
The end of the week rolls around, and Edward is talking to Vivian about how he'd like to see here next time he's in L.A. He offers to set her up with an apartment, car, money, and everything else she needs or wants. Vivian passes on the deal, and tells Edward about how she always dreamed of the knight in shining armor riding up to her and rescuing her from the tower, but the knight never said, "I got you a condo to stay in...."
Edward and Vivian part company, and Vivian prepares to move to San Francisco, while Edward is readying for departure back to New York. Somewhere on the ride to the airport, Edward realizes that Vivian was the best thing that ever happened to him, and takes the white limo to her apartment to "rescue her."
Rating: As a technical marvel, or as a brilliantly written screenplay, the story never reaches greatness. A flimsy plot, and some oddly-placed asides by Vivian left me wondering if there were some important chunks of film still on the cutting room floor. So it rates 2 stars (**,average) on the 1 to 4 star scale.
Enjoyability Disregarding the above, the film is great. I enjoyed it very much, with Robert's performance being at the proper times funny, sassy, sad, and mushy. Richard Gere plays the businessman just like it should be done: suave, cool, and debonair. Edward's lawyer has just the right amount of sleaze and ruthlessness about him. The other actors and actresses in the supporting roles were also appropriately funny, and lent a light touch. My wife loved it, I liked it, I'll buy the video tape when it comes out, and so it rates a high 3 stars (***) on the 1 to 4 scale.

Chefs In The Kitchen
Kitchen vs. Table Approach Towards Learing
Shereef's fireside chat solidified my understanding of DBC's philosophy and approach towards teaching. At first, I had mixed expectiations because I am naturally skeptical of things that show a lot of promise (i.e. 85% to 90% employment shortly after DBC).
Do not think that I am skeptical because I understood that DBC would require a lot of commitment from my part. My skepticism afraid from fear, specifically that I haven't experienced DBC for myself and so I cannot know how DBC will work for me. To put it another way, I was afraid that DBC will disappoint me.
Watching Shereef answer some difficult questions allayed some of my fears about DBC. He clarified on some of the statistics about dropouts and employment. And by using the kitchen vs. table analogy, that seeing DBC as a package deal and feeling like an entitled consumer vs. knowing making the meal yourself with others helps you appreciate what you accomplish and establishes your accountancy and stakes in your outcome.
Shereef also addressed the common "imposter's syndrome" as well as the "tyranny of the average" experienced by many of us enterring into DBC. Honestly, I feel more of the former than the latter and I will work harder to be more confident in what I know and what I don't know so that others know that I am competent and that I curious to learn more.
I have guarded optimism in entering DBC. On the one hand, I come from a academic and philosophical background that encourages sharing and being honest about what you know. On the other hand, I've seen many people fail because they simply either are not ready to share themselves and what they know so you are met with resistance. My hope is that DBC does in fact do a good job with filtering out those who will at least give this culture a shot.

Widget sash
A sash.
Dragging this widget resizes the widgets adjacent to it. A sash should be adjacent to a widget with a specified size in the same direction as the parent element's flow.
For example, if the parent of the sash is flow = 'x'
then either or both of the siblings adjacent to the sash
should have a specified width attribute.
Usage:
-- create a layout containing two widgets separated by a sash local layout = Layout { type = 'panel', flow = 'x', { text = 'This is the left side', wrap = true, width = 100 }, { type = 'sash' }, { text = 'This is the right side', wrap = true }, } -- show the layout layout:show()

Doubles is a mobile application that helps users find their next athletic partner. Just like Tinder, you can review profiles and swipe left or right anonymously, and begin in-app conversations with your matches without having to exchange your phone number or email. Doubles was built using full-stack Ruby on Rails, with a handful of ReactJS components layered on to the front-end to make for a more seamless user experience. It was built over the course of one week as our team's final project at Dev Bootcamp. I was in charge of the UI/UX and the overall site styling and design.
I owned the frontend design and UX for a mock online shop built in Rails and styled in Bootstrap and SASS. We responded to changing client/teacher specifications and incorporated updates on a daily basis.

Protect video with password
Introduction
With GreenForce Player it is possible to protect multimedia files (video/ audio) files with a password. So the media file can be opened only if the correct password is provided. GreenForce Player uses its own container format, so it supports all multimedia formats (only a codec is required).
The big advantage over other encryption tools is that GreenForce Player can directly play the media form RAM without copying it to the hard disk. Also note that GreenForce Player does not need administrator rights to install and run.
Open media file in GreenForce Player
First open the media you want to protect with GreenForce Player. Here we choose a short video with the name "racing-car.avi". However, GreenForce Player can encrypt all kinds of media files.
click on the menu item "Protect Video" in the menu "DRM".
|
Enter password
In the "Protect Video" dialog you can define the file name of the protected file. By default this is the original file name with ".gfp” as ending. To help you remembering the correct password you could also specify a tip which is shown in the password dialog when you try to open the media file. The only necessary step is to enter the password. All other steps we will describe later are optional.
|
|
Protect the video against Screenshots
One very interesting feature of GreenForce Player is the possibility to protect the content of your video. So you cannot make screenshots of it. However, please bear in mind that there is no 100% solution to do this and it is still possible to copy the video by filming the content of the monitor. To enable content protection just select the option "Active” instead of "Inactive”
Here you can see what happens if we try to make a screenshot. With content protection enabled you will only get a black window:
|
|
without content protection
|
with content protection
|
Tags
On the next tab you can set or change tags like "Title", "Album", "Interpret" and "Comments".
If your original video file already contains certain tags then GreenForce Player will automatically use them.

You can add an cover to your protected media file. This then will be shown if you add your protected media file to a playlist. GreenForce Player also uses a cover file from your original media file automatically if available.
Create a Standalone EXE file
to create a standalone Executable file, you just need to check "add player to the media file". The big advantage then is that you do not need to have GreenForce Player installed to play the protected media. All necessary files are directly included in the prtected file.
Finish
To finally encrypt the file just click on the "Save" button. The encryption process is very fast so it just takes a few seconds to finish.
Now there should be an encrypted file in the destination folder. To open the file just double click on it in the explorer.
If you do not want that the password dialog appears then you could also use the command line parameter "/password" to pass the password.
This is the easiest way to protect the file. However, you could also protect files with the Crypt tool.


We booked it down the Oregon coast much faster than we’d intended to, because Nick had a work gig in Southern Cali that put us in a bit of a crunch. Despite this, we did our best to explore the coastal towns we could make it to while stopping along the Pacific Coast Highway to soak in those incredible views!
Bandon, OR
Depending on when you go, Bandon can either seem like the most dead town there is or the cutest, liveliest little spot on the Oregon coast. We saw it in both modes! Labor day weekend it was very lively with tons of people and all the shops and restaurants were open and bustling.
Our first day in Bandon, we met an awesome couple at Bandon Brewing Company who joined us at our table. They were from one of the Baltic countries but were living in the United States temporarily for work. This is one of my favorite parts of traveling so far. We have met so many people because we are in areas where we often don’t know another soul! So we put ourselves in more of a position to meet new people. We realized when we are in our comfort zone and know we have a support system of family and friends nearby, we inadvertently are more closed off. But that’s another post entirely, so I’ll end that tangent there by saying we really enjoyed getting to know these people and learned a lot about their culture and lifestyle.
Face Rock Creamery is one of the more well-established places to go in Bandon. And not without reason! It has some of the most delicious cheeses and ice cream, as well as sandwiches, beer, and wine. I mean, everyone will be happy here! You can sample the cheese for free, but be forewarned, you’ll want to buy some! We got some of the extra aged cheddar and peppercorn harvest cheddar to bring home. We also grabbed a beer and split a sandwich and ginormous ice cream. This place is also named after the actual Face Rock in Bandon, which is exactly what it sounds like - a rock that looks like a face. More about that later though.
Needless to say, we needed to walk off all we ate at Face Rock Creamery so we decided to explore Bandon a bit by foot. There are lots of local artisans with pottery, paintings, and photographs along with the more typical touristy shops. We decided to go see what this Face Rock was all about, and despite the wind managed to snag a pic with the infamous rocky formation.
After a day of exploring, we decided to finally get some of this Pacific coast Dungeness crab we kept hearing so much about. So we stopped at Tony’s Crab Shack and tried to order some, only to find out the commercial season hadn’t opened yet! We were pretty bummed until we learned we could rent a crab pot and catch them ourselves and Tony’s would cook them up for us!! That settled our plans for the next day, when we spent half the day out in the freezing wind for us to each catch a Dungeness crab large enough for us to eat! I don’t know if I actually love the taste of Dungeness or it was all the effort that went into catching them, but that was the best crab I’ve ever had!
Port Orford, OR
One thing that stands out to me about the Oregon Coast is the wind. It is always windy with a bite in the air! Port Orford was certainly no exception!! Thankfully, our campsite was shielded by the wind with beautiful tall tree. They were so tall and narrow you could see them swaying in the wind if you looked up, but they kept us from feeling the brunt of these coastal gusts. This first-come-first-serve campground was one of our favorites. We had a little trail from our Airstream to an area at the top of a cliff that was just perfect to watch the sunset. I also could run on another trail that went along the cliff-line to the nearby lighthouse!
We did tour this lighthouse which was my first time being in one. West coast lighthouses differ from those I’m familiar with on the East coast because they are much shorter. This must be because they’re located on cliffs so don’t need any extra height. This tour was pretty cool because they let us up to the top where we could see the intricacy of the lens surrounding the light. This was mesmerizingly cool! Unfortunately, it did have some damage from teenage vandalizers in the past.
After the lighthouse, we also toured the Historic Hughes House. This was a ranch house for the Hughes family - many of whom lived together here in order to help their father run the ranch. A lot of it was still original and it was made of cedar framing which holds up very well against elements. It was a beautiful home!
Port Orford wasn’t much to speak of as far as towns go, but the beauty of the area itself made up for it. It is a cape that extends from the coastline, and is actually the westernmost incorporated space in the contiguous 48 states. If you can catch the night sky at Cape Blanco state park on a clear night, the stars are unimaginably beautiful.
One night we walked down to where they put the boats in, which was really interesting. I’d never seen a marina where the only option is to lift the boats into and out of the water - there was no in-harbor storage. They were dredging at the time, so we watched that for a while then headed to eat at Griff’s on the Dock. Let’s just say we recommend passing on the restaurants in Port Orford - there’s not many good options here.
After Port Orford, it was time to head to the California coast! Let me tell you, some people told us to avoid towing the Airstream on the Pacific Coast Highway but I’m convinced they just wanted to keep it all to themselves. It is the most gorgeous drive we’ve done to date, and we took it any chance we could!! Check out some of these views:

As if that were not impressive enough, the 38-year-old boasted a Range Rover Sport as well as the beat that is the Mercedes Benz C63, which Morris referred to as “his toy”
In an episode of SLTV in 2016, the former Panathanaikos defender gave fans a rare view at his luxurious collection.
Though it is unclear whether Morris still has any of his rides, his collection will certainly go down as one of Mzansi’s finest.
Scroll through the gallery above t see Morris’ #TB rides.
Do you think Morris had one of the best car collections in Mzansi?

If you want to introduce multithreading into your cascade of Observable operators, you can do so by instructing those operators (or particular Observables) to operate on particular Schedulers.
Some ReactiveX Observable operators have variants that take a Scheduler as a parameter. These instruct the operator to do some or all of its work on a particular Scheduler.
TBD
TBD
You obtain a Scheduler from the factory methods described in
the
Schedulers
class. The following table shows the varieties of Scheduler that
are available to you by means of these methods in RxGroovy:
| Scheduler | purpose |
|---|---|
Schedulers.computation( ) | meant for computational work such as event-loops and callback processing; do not use this scheduler for I/O (use Schedulers.io( ) instead); the number of threads, by default, is equal to the number of processors |
Schedulers.from(executor) | uses the specified Executor as a Scheduler |
Schedulers.immediate( ) | schedules work to begin immediately in the current thread |
Schedulers.io( ) | meant for I/O-bound work such as asynchronous performance of blocking I/O, this scheduler is backed by a thread-pool that will grow as needed; for ordinary computational work, switch to Schedulers.computation( ) ; Schedulers.io( ) by default is a CachedThreadScheduler , which is something like a new thread scheduler with thread caching |
Schedulers.newThread( ) | creates a new thread for each unit of work |
Schedulers.trampoline( ) | queues work to begin on the current thread after any already-queued work |
Some Observable operators in RxGroovy have alternate forms that allow you to set which Scheduler the operator will use for (at least some part of) its operation. Others do not operate on any particular Scheduler, or operate on a particular default Scheduler. Those that have a particular default Scheduler include:
The
TestScheduler
allows you to exercise fine-tuned manual control over how the
Scheduler’s clock behaves. This can be useful for testing interactions that depend on precise
arrangements of actions in time. This Scheduler has three additional methods:
advanceTimeTo(time,unit)
advanceTimeBy(time,unit)
triggerActions( )
You obtain a Scheduler from the factory methods described in
the
Schedulers
class. The following table shows the varieties of Scheduler that
are available to you by means of these methods in RxJava:
| Scheduler | purpose |
|---|---|
Schedulers.computation( ) | meant for computational work such as event-loops and callback processing; do not use this scheduler for I/O (use Schedulers.io( ) instead); the number of threads, by default, is equal to the number of processors |
Schedulers.from(executor) | uses the specified Executor as a Scheduler |
Schedulers.immediate( ) | schedules work to begin immediately in the current thread |
Schedulers.io( ) | meant for I/O-bound work such as asynchronous performance of blocking I/O, this scheduler is backed by a thread-pool that will grow as needed; for ordinary computational work, switch to Schedulers.computation( ) ; Schedulers.io( ) by default is a CachedThreadScheduler , which is something like a new thread scheduler with thread caching |
Schedulers.newThread( ) | creates a new thread for each unit of work |
Schedulers.trampoline( ) | queues work to begin on the current thread after any already-queued work |
Some Observable operators in RxJava have alternate forms that allow you to set which Scheduler the operator will use for (at least some part of) its operation. Others do not operate on any particular Scheduler, or operate on a particular default Scheduler. Those that have a particular default Scheduler include:
Aside from passing these Schedulers in to RxJava Observable operators, you can also use them to
schedule your own work on Subscriptions. The following example uses
the schedule
method of
the Scheduler.Worker
class to schedule work on the newThread
Scheduler:
worker = Schedulers.newThread().createWorker(); worker.schedule(new Action0() { @Override public void call() { yourWork(); } }); // some time later... worker.unsubscribe();
To schedule recursive calls, you can use schedule
and then schedule(this)
on the
Worker object:
worker = Schedulers.newThread().createWorker(); worker.schedule(new Action0() { @Override public void call() { yourWork(); // recurse until unsubscribed (schedule will do nothing if unsubscribed) worker.schedule(this); } }); // some time later... worker.unsubscribe();
Objects of the Worker
class implement
the Subscription
interface, with its isUnsubscribed
and unsubscribe
methods, so you can stop work when a subscription is cancelled, or you can cancel the
subscription from within the scheduled task:
Worker worker = Schedulers.newThread().createWorker(); Subscription mySubscription = worker.schedule(new Action0() { @Override public void call() { while(!worker.isUnsubscribed()) { status = yourWork(); if(QUIT == status) { worker.unsubscribe(); } } } });
The Worker
is also a Subscription
and so you can (and should, eventually) call
its unsubscribe
method to signal that it can halt work and release resources:
worker.unsubscribe();
You can also use a version of schedule
that delays your action on the given Scheduler until a certain timespan has passed. The
following example schedules someAction
to be performed on
someScheduler
after 500ms have passed according to that Scheduler’s clock:
someScheduler.schedule(someAction, 500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
Another Scheduler
method
allows you to schedule an action to take place at regular intervals. The following example
schedules someAction
to be performed on someScheduler
after 500ms
have passed, and then every 250ms thereafter:
someScheduler.schedulePeriodically(someAction, 500, 250, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
The
TestScheduler
allows you to exercise fine-tuned manual control over how the
Scheduler’s clock behaves. This can be useful for testing interactions that depend on precise
arrangements of actions in time. This Scheduler has three additional methods:
advanceTimeTo(time,unit)
advanceTimeBy(time,unit)
triggerActions( )
In RxJS you obtain Schedulers from the Rx.Scheduler
object or as independently-implemented
objects. The following table shows the varieties of Scheduler that are available to you in RxJS:.
| Scheduler | purpose |
|---|---|
Rx.Scheduler.currentThread | schedules work as soon as possible on the current thread |
Rx.HistoricalScheduler | schedules work as though it were occurring at an arbitrary historical time |
Rx.Scheduler.immediate | schedules work immediately on the current thread |
Rx.TestScheduler | for unit testing; this allows you to manually manipulate the movement of time |
Rx.Scheduler.timeout | schedules work by means of a timed callback |

Sharing the load.
Oddjob can share work between any number of servers and so long as one server remains operational, any of the others can fail, and work will still be done.
Sharing work is achieved by having jobs grab for work. A Keeper guards the work and ensures only one job does the guarded bit of work.
A instance of work that can be grabbed is identified by a key and an instance id. The key identifies the work such as 'Report-26' and the instance is the instance of execution of the work such as the date it's running for.
The grabbers also have an identifier. This allows the grabber to keep track of who's won. The loosing grabbers display who's won so you know from any server where the work is being done. The keeper also notifies the looses when the winner has finished the job.
Now the Keeper must have some central thing on which to coordinate work. Currently the only implemented Keeper is one that uses a database, but the concept is simple and open to clever developers to implement with distributed caching or JMS or any other technology that supports the distributed ordering of things.
Here's a simple example where two parallel processes compete for work. This example uses a sequence number to differentiate between work instances. The sequence number of parallel job must be manually re-run to grab again. Re-running the parallel job or one of the grabbers demonstrates how the keeper guards against work being re-done.
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>examples/userguide/grabbing.xml}Grabbing for work and Oddjobs existing scheduling can be used together to implement distributed scheduling.
The Resiliance Example shows how three Oddjobs running the same timer configuration compete for work and there-by distribute the scheduling between them.
The work takes 15 seconds, and the schedule is every 10 seconds. To keep
up with the work at least 2 workers need to be running. With 3 workers
running, 1 worker is always idle. The Grab Job's onLoosing
property is set to INCOMPLETE so we can easily see which job this is.

Routines for managing chains of MovElem units.
| void MovChain_build_3d | ( | const MovElem * | chain, |
| int | chainSize, | ||
| int3d ** | coordsBB_p, | ||
| int3d ** | coordsSC_p | ||
| ) |
Takes a chain of movements and returns the spatial position of BB and SC beads over the 3D space.
'coordsBB_p' and 'coordsSC_p' are pointers to where we should store, respectively, the coordinates for the backbone beads and the side chain beads.
| MovElem* MovChain_create | ( | int | size | ) |
Creates a chain of movements with 'size' bytes.
Each byte carries 4 bits (MSB) representing backbone movement, and 4 bits (LSB) for sidechain movement. Everything is initialized to FRONT-right
| void MovChain_set_element | ( | MovElem * | chain, |
| int | eleIdx, | ||
| unsigned char | bb, | ||
| unsigned char | sc | ||
| ) |
Changes the given 'chain' in position 'eleIdx'.
The element in that position becomes set with movement 'bb' for the backbone and 'sc' for the side chain.


The Figure List¶
So that we can place figures either in an organized lab notebook, or in a graphical display (e.g. Qt-based), or in simple figures that show up at the command line, we need a means of collating figures (as well as intervening text) into an organized list – this is the figure list.
Previously, this was simply a list of matplotlib or
mayavi figures
(typically implemented with fl.next('figure name')
calls),
but that strategy proved to be insufficient for various
reasons.
Practically, this leads to complicated code when
implementing, e.g. twinx or twiny plots,
and it also obscures the underlying matplotlib, mayavi,
etc, code from the user.
Philosophically, as with nddata, we want to take maximal
advantage of operator overloading and other object
oriented concepts, including seamless switching between
output to, e.g. latex, html, bokeh, matplotlib, Qt
GUIs, etc.
Therefore, we build the new system around a list of visualization objects. By breaking the plotting process into several methods which are defined in create new document with definitions, we can automate the process, while also keeping it maximally flexible. In the simplest example, a visualization object corresponds to e.g. a single matplotlib axis; but it can also correspond to multiple axes, as when we want to plot multi-dimensional data, or when we want to show the projections of 2D data.
From the end-user’s perspective, plotting is achieved by (1) optionally modifying an existing plotting object class to get different properties than the default: the default classes available are image, plot, contour, and surface (2) creating instances of the plotting classes inside inside the figure list, in order of appearance (note that sometimes, it will make sense to first initialize blank plots, and drop data into them if the order of plotting and data generation are different) (3) adding nddata objects (or numpy objects, which are converted to nddata objects) to the plotting instances (quite literally) (4) if interactive plotting is employed, the nddata themselves are updated, and then the figurelist update method is called.
