House on Haunted Hill * 1/2 (out of * * * * )
Directed by William Malone. Cast: Geoffrey Rush, Famke Janssen, Taye Diggs, Ali Larter, Chris Kattan, Peter Gallagher, Bridgette Wilson, Lisa Loeb, James Marsters, Jeffrey Combs. 1999 - 90 minutes Rated R (for violence, profanity, and gore). Reviewed by Dustin Putman, October 30, 1999.
"House on Haunted Hill," like the startlingly similar "The Haunting," which was released last July, is a frustrating experience more than a frightening one. There are differences between them, to be sure. While "The Haunting" was more sophisticated, with a superior cast, a budget of around $80-million, and a kid-friendly PG-13 rating, "House on Haunted Hill" is a gory, atmospheric, $20-million, R-rated spookathon. What the two films do have in common, however, aside from the basic plot mechanisms, is a sense of real promise early on, only to abysmally fall apart in the cheesy, special-effects-laden climax. Both directors, William Malone and Jan De Bont, clearly spent a great deal of time getting the mood and "look" of their films exactly right, and yet they forgot that not only is the setup often times scarier than the payoff, but that in order to care about a movie like this, you have to want to root for the characters. No such luck here. Oh, and both films are receiving from me a none-too-positive 1 1/2-star, though "House on Haunted Hill" is probably a little better, simply because it has the courage of its convictions to make an actual horror movie, rather than "The Haunting," which was akin to taking a ride in the Haunted Mansion at Disney World.
After a memorably stylish opening credits sequence and a brief prologue set in 1931, in which all but five patients at a sprawling psychiatric hospital die in a mysterious fire, the film really takes off with the first appearance of Steven Price (Geoffrey Rush), a twisted amusement park entrepreneur. Holding an interview with a local news reporter (singer Lisa Loeb, in the most engaging performance of the whole film), she questions exactly why the newest rollercoaster is supposed to be so scary, and Steven physically shows her and her cameraman (James Marsters) why. As we are taken on the ride with the characters, the film plays with your mind and offers genuine surprises and excitement not seen once the main storyline comes into focus.
On a dark, foreboding night, five strangers are lured into a mansion that is sprawled upon a cliff overseeing the ocean--the same one that the fire took place at in 1931. Four of the people--former pro football player Eddie Baker (Taye Diggs), physician Donald Blackburn (Peter Gallager), washed-up gameshow host Melissa Marr (Bridgette Wilson), and supposed-to-be CEO of a film company Jennifer Jenzen (Ali Larter)--have all gotten an invitation to attend the birthday party of Steven Price's gold-digging wife Evelyn (Famke Janssen), and along with the cautious owner of the property Watson Pritchett (Chris Kattan), become trapped in the building once inside. It is here that Steven makes everybody a proposal: stay in the house all night long, without dying, and they each will be rewarded with a $1-million check. The catch, it turns out, is that the house really is being haunted by the maniacal doctor (Jeffrey Combs) who was killed in 1931, and that all five guests are unknowingly related to the five inmates who survived decades before.
Admittedly, "House on Haunted Hill" has a zinger of a premise, a sort of ghastly rendition of 1993's "Indecent Proposal," in which people were asked if they'd cheat on their spouse for one night, and a million smackers, with Robert Redford. After the marvelous first fifteen minutes, the picture's interest quickly unravels because the stick-thin characters that inhabit the film are thoroughly repugnant people who either you want to die, or don't particularly care either way.
But then, once the two sole virtuous characters (played well, under the circumstances, by Taye Diggs and Ali Larter) make their way down into the decrepit basement to look around, the film gradually starts to grow very creepy, at least more so than last week's godawful "Bats." The middle section of the film is surely the best, offering up haunting (no pun intended) images that are truly disturbing and surprisingly psychological in nature. Very little violence is shown onscreen, nor are there many blatant visual effects that mar its effectiveness. Sitting back and watching the film, it occurred to me that maybe, after all, this late-Halloween offering might actually have something to offer. One particular sequence, in which Melissa is investigating the house and comes to an empty room that, through her video camera, shows a doctor and two nurses working on a mental patient who suddenly stop and stare straight at her, is scarier than the whole 2-hour-plus "The Haunting."
The film ultimately begins to sour soon after, as the interplay between Steven Price and Evelyn not only is cold-hearted and off-putting, but also disastrously acted by the usually talented performers Geoffrey Rush and Famke Janssen. Descending on its shameful downward spiral, plot twists that come off as more dubious than unpredictable begin arising, the psychotic ghost of the doctor completely disappears from the proceedings, and indiscernible visual effects take over, foolishly revealing its low budget. Topping things off are a despicable, ragtag group of victims whom you practically learn nothing about throughout, unless they are uncovered to be involved in one of the late plot developments. The ending, especially, leaves you begging the question, "Is that it?!"
With an ominously unforgettable production design and appropriately brooding cinematography, by Rick Bota, watching "House on Haunted Hill" is like going to a restaurant where the food looks delectable, but tastes awful. There are several hints of the subjectively horrifying experience the film might very well have been, along the lines of "The Blair Witch Project" or "The Sixth Sense," but director William Malone and screenwriter Dick Beebe botch the results. It's about time filmmakers realize that character and story are more important than special effects, particularly when you obviously don't even have the money to make the effects the least bit believable to begin with.

CSS3 Transitions Library A library of useful functions to ease working with CSS3 Transitions. Download (GitHub)


As mentioned in the Introduction, there are a number of modes in which MiStaMover can be run. This section describes them in more detail.
The 4 main running modes are:
- One-off mirror
- One-off move
- Daemon mirror
- Daemon move
Running MiStaMover as a one-off process means that it will scan the incoming directory for each data stream specified only once. If it finds files or directories during that scan it will transfer those to the target host. Once it has completed this task for all data streams it will exit.
The use of the mirror transfer mode instructs the tool to copy the entire contents of the incoming directory to the target host without deleting the contents in the incoming directory.
NOTE that the *mirror* transfer mode is only compatible with the `rsync_ssh` and `rsync_native` transfer protocols.
If sub-directories exist within the incoming directory then MiStaMover will either mirror these as they are (if the transfer protocol uses rsync) or zip up each directory and transfer the zip file.
The one-off process can also be run in move transfer mode. In this case it acts the same as the one-off mirror mode but after each file is successfully transferred to the target host the copy on the local host will be deleted.
WARNING: The default transfer mode is “move”. Do not set your incoming directory to a location in which you intend to keep data without setting the transfer mode to “mirror”!
Running MiStaMover as a daemon process essentially runs as an eternal loop around the one-off process. Each time a set of files and/or directories have been transferred the incoming directory will be re-scanned and the process repeated. If nothing is found in the incoming directory then the process will pause for a while (as configured in the pause_time:TOFIX setting) and then re-scan.
Running as a daemon process with mirror transfer mode will continue to mirror the contents of the incoming directory (for each data stream) to the target host so it can be left running if an ongoing mirror or backup strategy is required. Modifying the pause_time:TOFIX setting allows the pause time between re-scanning and mirroring to be modified.
Running as a daemon process in move transfer mode will continue to push data from the incoming directory of each data stream and delete the local copy once it has been successfully transferred. Each time a set of files and/or directories have been transferred the incoming directory will be re-scanned and the process repeated. In this way, MiStaMover can be configured to act as a staging tool that monitors a number of directories for new data and pushes it on to a range of target host machines as required.
WARNING: The default transfer mode is “move”. Do not set your incoming directory to a location in which you intend to keep data without setting the transfer mode to “mirror”!

In the nick of thyme: Cops bust suspected fake spice factory
by Canny MaphangaGauteng police arrested 10 foreign nationals on Thursday at a plot in Meyerton – the site of an alleged counterfeit spice factory.
The raid continued on Friday morning and led to the confiscation of suspected counterfeit spices worth several million rand, pending confirmation from the owners of the brand.
"On the property, police also confiscated bags of different types of powder used to produce the illicit spices, as well as equipment and machinery suspected of being utilised for processing and packaging," police spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters said.
The raid formed part of an intelligence-driven operation, dubbed O Kae Molao, in Sedibeng in which more than 600 arrests for various crimes were made.
Gauteng police commissioner Lieutenant General Elias Mawela commended the police for their efforts.
"Operations of this nature, over and above Operation O Kae Molao, will continue and will be intensified as police gear up to turn the tide against crime. With these, police will also be conducting more operations to ensure that the residents and visitors of Gauteng enjoy a safer festive season," Mawela said.

Introduction
The Histogram View provides a way to summarise both the structural properties of a graph and the values of attributes,
as well as the capability to filter and make selections based on these properties.
Histogram Panel
The Histogram Panel displays an interactive summary of information on the graph in a visual bar chart. The "Property
Value" column is a list of unique values for a particular property, and the "Count" column displays the number of
graph elements which share that property value.
The bar length indicates the proportion of elements that share that property when compared to the value that is most
prevalent on the graph. It is blue for unselected elements, and red for selected elements. When only a portion of the
elements sharing a property value are selected on the graph, the count value will also change to the ratio of selected
elements / total elements sharing that property value. It will also be coloured both red and blue, with the proportion
of red matching the ratio of selected / unselected.
Left clicking on a row in the Histogram Panel will select all elements on the graph which share that Property Value.
Holding left click and dragging across multiple rows will select multiple rows. Holding the shift key while left
clicking will add the clicked row elements to the selection. Holding the ctrl key while left clicking will toggle the
selection of the clicked row elements.
Right clicking on a row in the Histogram Panel will open up a context menu allowing you to copy selected property
values (and optionally their counts) to the clipboard.
Graph Element Buttons
The Graph Element Buttons will toggle which graph elements the Histogram View will list. Options include Node,
Transaction, Edge, and Link.
NOTE: Edges and Links in Constellation do not have Attributes.

Clicking rows will not change the selection on the graph until the adjacent "Select" button is pressed. This mode
will allow for filtering on the existing graph selection. Clicking on a row with selected (red) elements will change
their colour to yellow. Pressing the adjacent "Select" button will change the selection on the graph to all yellow
elements. Holding the shift key while left clicking will change red elements of rows to yellow. Holding the ctrl
key while left clicking will toggle elements of rows between red and yellow.
- Add To Existing Selection -
Clicking rows will not change the selection on the graph until the adjacent "Select" button is pressed. This mode
will allow for adding rows to the existing graph selection. Clicking on a row with unselected (blue) elements will
change their colour to yellow. Pressing the adjacent Select button will change the selection on
the graph to all yellow elements. Holding the shift key while left clicking will change blue elements of rows to
yellow. Holding the ctrl key while left clicking will toggle elements of rows between blue and yellow.
Filter
The Filter on Selection button will hide unselected elements from the Histogram View, until such time as the Clear
Filter Button is pressed. The Clear Filter Button will activate only when a Histogram filter is in place, and as such
is useful to check when elements are missing from the Histogram View.
Actions
Pressing the Actions button will reveal two options: Save Bins To Graph and Save Bins To Clipboard
- Save Bins to Graph -
Will add a histogram_bin attribute to the graph, and the value of which corresponding to the Property Value of the
node or transaction.
- Save Bins to Clipboard -
Will copy the Property Values and Counts displayed in the Histogram View to the clipboard, which can be pasted into
a text editor in a tab delimited format.

Being a curious person, I've always been fascinated by good and powerful questions (not to mention some good answers!). Recently, I've read two good books on the topic, A More Beautiful Question and The Book of Beautiful Questions, both by Warren Berger.
What interests me with questions is that they increase understanding (if we let go of our ego), help us connect with each other, and expose hidden opportunities. Just try "question-storming" in your next brainstorming session and see what comes up!
To remain creative, you must think and behave like a novice, always discovering—not like an "expert" who comes up with reasons why a new idea won't work.
Finally, you can't have good questions without active listening. Already the Greek philosophers knew that you have two ears and one mouth and it's best to use them in that proportion

Class EXTTextureArray
- java.lang.Object
-
- org.lwjgl.opengl.EXTTextureArray
-
public class EXTTextureArray extends java.lang.Object
Native bindings to the EXT_texture_array extension.This extension introduces the notion of one- and two-dimensional array textures. An array texture is a collection of one- and two-dimensional images of identical size and format, arranged in layers. A one-dimensional array texture is specified using TexImage2D; a two-dimensional array texture is specified using TexImage3D. The height (1D array) or depth (2D array) specify the number of layers in the image.
An array texture is accessed as a single unit in a programmable shader, using a single coordinate vector. A single layer is selected, and that layer is then accessed as though it were a one- or two-dimensional texture. The layer used is specified using the "t" or "r" texture coordinate for 1D and 2D array textures, respectively. The layer coordinate is provided as an unnormalized floating-point value in the range
[0,<n>-1]
, where<n>
is the number of layers in the array texture. Texture lookups do not filter between layers, though such filtering can be achieved using programmable shaders. When mipmapping is used, each level of an array texture has the same number of layers as the base level; the number of layers is not reduced as the image size decreases.Array textures can be rendered to by binding them to a framebuffer object (EXT_framebuffer_object). A single layer of an array texture can be bound using normal framebuffer object mechanisms, or an entire array texture can be bound and rendered to using the layered rendering mechanisms provided by NV_geometry_program4.
This extension does not provide for the use of array textures with fixed-function fragment processing. Such support could be added by providing an additional extension allowing applications to pass the new target enumerants (TEXTURE_1D_ARRAY_EXT and TEXTURE_2D_ARRAY_EXT) to Enable and Disable.

Fluid interface problems applied to traumatic brain injury.
Mauricio Del Razo and Randall J. LeVeque
Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
Interested in brain injury caused by shockwaves:
- Blast waves (civilians and soldiers).
- Car/bike accidents.
- Boxing.
Experimentalists at VA Hospital:
What happens when the shockwave hits?
- Changes in blood-brain barrier diffusion.
- Damage to astrocytes cells.
- Brain cells damage.
- Combination of these.
We are trying to find out...
Experiments done with endothelial cells,
since the blood-brain barrier is composed by them.
Experimental setup:
They have a shock-tube!
We can measure shock profile in air, but how does it look before hitting the cells?
The mathematical model
3D Axisymmetric Compressible euler equations
\[ \begin{aligned}
\frac{\partial}{\partial t}
\left[\begin{array}{c} \rho \\ \rho u_r \\ \rho u_z \\ E \end{array} \right]
+ \frac{\partial}{\partial r}
\left[\begin{array}{c} \rho u_r \\ \rho u_r^2 + P \\ \rho u_r u_z \\ u_r(E+p) \end{array} \right]
+ \frac{\partial}{\partial z}
\left[\begin{array}{c} \rho u_z \\ \rho u_r u_z \\ \rho u_z^2 + p \\ u_z(E+p) \end{array} \right]
= \left[\begin{array}{c} -(\rho u_r)/r \\ -(\rho u_r^2)/r \\ -(\rho u_r u_z)/r \\ -u_r(E+p)/r \end{array} \right]
\end{aligned}
\]
- Good to model acoustic pressure propagation.
- Nonlinearity allows shock formation.
- Energy equation connects w/temperature (relevant for cell damage).
The mathematical model
How to model Interfaces?
Stiffened gas equation of state (SGEOS):
\[
p = \underbrace{(\gamma - 1)}_{\text{Ideal gas}} \rho e -\underbrace{\gamma P_{\infty}}_{\text{Stiffening term}}
\]
Different materials = different parameters for SGEOS
The mathematical model
Numerical methods:
- High resolution finite volume methods.
- HLLC approximate Riemann solver.
- Dimensional splitting.
- Fractional step method for source terms.
- Implemented into Clawpack.
Some computational results
1D Air-Plastic-Water interface
Some computational results
From 1D simulations...
- Pressure amplitude increases when crossing interface.
- As Plastic interface gets thinner, it becomes negligible.
- Plastic-water could play role of skull-brain.
Some computational results
3D Axisymmetric Air-Water interface
Some computational results
What we learned...
- We can compute pressure profile in water before hitting the cells.
- Physical insight of the effects of the interface: reflection, elongation, amplification, etc...
- If pressure becomes higher inside brain, damage could be underestimated.
- Geometry might become very relevant when dealing with a skull.
Future work
- Comparison with experiments.
- Incorporate transverse solvers.
- Implement arbitrary interfaces (like a skull).
- Add moving or vibrating interfaces.
- Make connection to biological effects (not easy).

Let us show you how we scan, review, and improve!
User reviews drive good websites. Review Improve adds to that by scanning a website's reviews, analyzing them using advanced machine learning techniques, and implementing systems that can reduce computer-generated or poorly constructed reviews. Using our state-of-the-art technology, Review Improve can provide:
Since it's release on December 15th, 2017, the movie Star Wars - The Last Jedi has been a widely controversial addition to the Star Wars series, and it's nation-wide reception has been notably polarized. With this polarization in mind, we thought of no better film to test the potency of our product. Below are the results of aiming our algorithm at the Rotten Tomatoes User Reviews for the new Star Wars film.


A useful port of call on Sicily's northern coast, opposite the Aeolian Islands. It is dominated by a huge medieval fortress. Whilst rather industrial, Milazzo has three marinas with plenty of berthing and facilities.
The main port/commercial harbour is exposed to the SE.
Marina del Nettuno lies in the NW corner of the commercial harbour, tucked up right in the top corner. Marina Poseidon and Porto Santa Maria Maggiore are both situated off the long sandy coast approx. a mile to the north of the port entrance, Porto Santa being the marina farthest away from the commercial harbour.

This section describes the steps for creating realistic, scalable datasets using the com.sonicsw.perf.gen package. This utility incorporates a variety of Java text management classes to generate a series of unique, methodically varying documents from a single template. The core technology is primitive Java String manipulation, using an XML Processing Instruction syntax.
This package is included in the jar file for the full version of the Sonic TestHarness, but does not depend on TestHarness for execution.
Solicit from the user a sample of their XML document.
With the user's help,
identify key data characteristics of the larger pool of documents the
sample represents:
- Which elements and attributes are optional, and
roughly how often they occur
- The typical minimum and maximum number of child
elements for each parent element
-Important data keys, and the expected number of
unique values
-Important text fields and examples of the kinds of
text searches that would be done
Instrument the example with GenFile processing instructions
Create or obtain text files representing significant keywords and text fields
Demonstrate and revise
the template until satisfactory:
- Generate a few sample documents (see the GenFile.main method)
- Review the readability and reasonability of the
generated XML with a user
- Verify the document is correctly formed (for XML
you can use Sonic Stylus Studio).
Use GenFile to generate one or more datasets based on the template. You can use the GenFile main method to write generated data directly to disk, or alternatively, you can create an instance of GenFile in a Java program and redirect the String or OutputStream output to any destination you choose.
If you are using the
TestHarness, you can specify that the message generator use your new
template by including the following test parameters:
- msgGenClass=TemplateMsgGenerator
- template=TEMPLATE_FILE
The GenFile utility makes it easier to stress test XML and Messaging capabilities with the credibility of using realistic user data. You only need a single example of the user's XML, plus some insight into the size and range of important data attributes and elements, and GenFile will let you generate arbitrarily large data sets. It will also help you build-in interesting variations on the data, such as changes in schema and exception conditions.
GenFile allows you to substitute generated values for numeric keys, word/text and dates. Values can be random, methodically varied along a range, or sampled from a (Zipf) decay curve. You can also define user parameters to be entered at runtime. When you invoke the generate function, the GenFile implementation classes dynamically create these variable values and substitute them into the XML stream. As a result, you can use a single template to generate millions of unique documents that will yield predicatable, realistic result sets when querying. "Tricks" used by competitors to optimize extremely repetitive data won't work with this data set. Also, since it's so easy to generate huge data sets, we can ensure that tests scale up to the level where our competitors will have difficulty.
The format of a GenFile processing instruction is:
<?perf.CMD option1=val option2=val ... ?>
Currently available commands include:
perf.value - generates an integer with various range and order characteristics (see GenValue)
perf.date - generates dates in a variety of formats (see GenDate)
perf.words - generates a string with a variable number of words drawn from a specified sample (see GenWords)
perf.variable - allows you to insert a previously generated string (see GenVariable)
perf.begin - defines an optional or repeating block of text, and a context rule for defining values within that block (see GenBlock)
perf.end - the end of a perf.begin block
perf.file - includes an external GenFile template file, whose contents get folded into this one. (see GenFile)
Each command defines a GenFile segment, i.e. a range of text corresponding to a single GenSegment instance. Only GenBlock segments (demarcated by perf.begin and perf.end) can enclose child segments. Note that the parameters within a GenFile command are not true XML attributes and do not require quotes. Significant parameters include:
name - identifies the GenFile segment and/or variable name
order - selects the distribution rule (see below)
min - the smallest acceptable value for a generated number or a block cardinality
max - the largest value for the number or block cardinality
factor - a constant multiplier for computed values
range - a shorcut notation for min/max/factor, in format "1to99by3"
save - a Variable name used to save the generated string, for reuse via a GenVariable segment (see below)
source - (GenWords, GenFile) an external file used for input, especially text keywords read in for use by GenWords
context - how to
increment values within nested blocks for order=context value generation
ratio
- (GenBlock) decay ratio for repeating blocks
while - (GenBlock) boolean expression telling whether to insert block
format - (GenValue) Java DecimalFormat string used to format the number
start - (GenDate) Formatted date string to use as starting value
time - (GenDate) replaced by additional 'type' enum values
default - (GenVariable) default value of variable
For an illustration of some of the more useful syntax supported by the generator see ./samples/templates/Sample.gen.
The STS gen package is
based on simple Java string substitution, combined with algorithms that
let you specify rules for how inidividual text values are generated and
combined. The input template is parsed by the GenFile class, which
splits the input content in segments
as follows:
At runtime, each segment object maintains a running state which
allows it to methodically vary output content, based on the rules
described in the parameters. Keep in mind that, once parsed,
there can be no changes to this structure - it is not a dynamically
interpreted tree. However, you can use Variables to modify the
value of a parameter during processing, as variables have 'late'
binding. When you call the generate()
method on the GenFile object, it creates a buffered stream and passes
the request down the hierarchy. Each GenBlock sets up a nested
loop with the specified number of iterations, and invokes all its child
segments within each loop. Thus each GenText segment simply
copies the constant text into the buffer, the GenValue, GenWords and
GenDate segments generate specialized data strings that are appended,
and nested GenBlock segments set up a recursive iteration. The
best way to understand this process is to run some examples and change
the structures somewhat.
GenBlock instructions within the template file allow you to
methodically vary repeating content, such as repeating child elements
in an XML document. You simply wrap the repeating part between
perf.start and perf.end instructions, and all the text and generator
instructions between will be repeated the specified number of
times. If you specify a variable number of blocks using the range or parameters, it will
randomly vary the number of child blocks within that range. You can
even skew the number of child blocks in one direction by using the ratio parameter, which applies a
probability ratio to each successive block being generated. For
example, you could define a template that included a single child
element 99% of the time, but 1% of the time repeated two or more times
by specifying:
Primary key values and other uniquely distinguished text fields are
generally defined using the value context,
which is automatically generated. Normally, at the top level,
this is a simple incrementing integer in the sequence {0,1,2,3...}.
However, there are several ways this sequence can be modified:
As noted, the order parameter defines the statistical distribution rule used for computing numeric values. This can be extremely important in controlling the behavior of query keys and ensuring that results mirror reality. There are several options for this param, which all compute a long value which is passed back to the segment. You can use the min and max params to constrain the final value to the desired range.
serial - this will generate sequentially increasing numbers starting with zero.
context - inserts a context number provided by the parent segment; top-level context is simply an increasing integer, but each nested GenBlock can define its own context rule defining how context values for nested text will be computed.
random - generates a random long integer; individual java.util.Random objects are used per-segment, to ensure that key values will be strictly repeatable, even if template code is moved around.
logN - where N is an integer, generates an integer within the specified range with logarithmically decreasing occurance of greater size.
zipf - based on the zipf decay curve, which is a good approximation of the frequency distribution found in natural languages. This is the preferred distribution for GenWords, and can be used with any word list ordered by frequency of usage (i.e. most-common first). For specifics on how this distribution works, refer to the javadoc for ZipfCreator.
You can define GenFile variables either explicitly, using a perf.variable instruction, or implicitly, by using the save= parameter on some other instruction. You can also pass name/value variable pairs directly to a GenFile object when you initialize it. This latter technique is used automatically by ABC test modules when the Framework config file includes a //Options/GenFile/GenVars option. The same variable may be reassigned multiple times, based on these inputs; see the GenVariable class doc for specifics. Note that the main program for GenFile also accepts variables as a runtime arg.
When you provide variable default values outside the template file, there are two ways of defining the name/value pairs:
Submit a string value enclosed in braces, e.g.: {DATE=4/11/99,MAX=100,Name=Fred}
Identify a Properties file in the filesystem; the properties will be parsed using the standard Java Properties.load method and merged into the list of variables as the template is parsed.
It is generally possible to substitute a variable value for any numeric value used in template generation. For example, if you wanted to vary the minimum value according to a generated value, but set the maximum value when you invoke the template, you could use:
<?perf.variable name=MAXVAL default=99 ?>
<?perf.value order=context save=MINVAL ?>
<?perf.block min=$MINVAL max=$MAXVAL ?>
In this
example, the MINVAL would increment each time the outer
block looped, thus changing the minimum number of iterations for the
inner
block; the MAXVAL is set to a default of 99, but this could be
overridden by
explicitly defining it when the template is instantiated. When
substituting numeric values, two built-in variables are provided:
<?perf.date order=zipf type=ymdt start=01/01/$YEAR time=$RANDOM:$RANDOM:
$RANDOM
?>

End of Days 1 Star (Out of 4) Reviewed by Mac VerStandig<EMAIL_ADDRESS>http://www.moviereviews.org
A copy of this review can be found at http://moviereviews.org/review_-_end_of_days.htm
End of Days goes up in flames- literally. With both the hereditary flaws of an apocalyptic film, poor acting and a lack of that magical quality that oftentimes makes unrealistic action movies seem plausible; it is most fitting that the title card in the opening credits is on fire.
There are certain liberties which movies like this can take. Over the summer Universal, the parent of this work, released Bowfinger, a comedic satire which explained that if the action is good, the plot doesn't have to make sense. James Cameron knows about this. His Terminator films hardly hold their own weight in a world of Jane Austen (incidentally, there actually is a Jane Austen film opening opposite this movie) but the effects are grade-A and Arnold Shwarzenegger (from here on out known as "Arnie") is at his best. Unfortunately, director Peter Hyams doesn't have those Cameronian effects and the key performance is Arnie-lite.
After a brief opening stint in 1979's Vatican City and New York City, we are taken to the big apple of December 28, 1999. In three days, 1000 years will be over and Satan has a plan to end all humanity. The end of days will require the rape and pregnancy of the chosen one (named Christine York and played by Robin Tunney) between the hours of 11:00pm and midnight, Eastern Standard Time. The offspring will then come alive Rosemary's Baby style and all of existence will be negated. The details on how exactly this takeover will occur are omitted (if they ever existed in the first place).
Arnie plays a security guard for hire. He takes a bullet for his client (actually, the movie uses an old bulletproof vest joke to create the false illusion that he is dead, something that clearly can't happen to the star only 15 minutes into the movie) and pursues the shooter. The man with the gun turns out to be a priest who chose a life of poverty over the church. Arnie catches up with him and he mutters an apocalyptic phrase before Arnie shoots him. Seem strange yet? It gets more bizarre. The guy doesn't have a tongue.
The movie continues in this worn-out chase, kill, chase, kill, etc85 = format until you are absolutely fed up with apocalyptic mythology. The only interesting or original revelation the movie makes is that Simon and Garfunkel were right, "the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls."
Somewhere in this tangled plot lies a corrupt police officer, some bodies that are taken from the dead, a few explosions, a flying helicopter sequence, Latin codes, stigmata and a whole lot of burning candles.
There is a basic flaw in films that threaten to end all existence: they very rarely do. Most directors are far too frightened to produce a movie that ends by telling everyone in the audience that they are dead. On occasion, exceptions are made. Recently (SPOILER OF ANOTHER MOVIE AHEAD), The Astronaut's Wife used this tactic which raised a few brows but hardly cleaned up at the box office.
Not long ago, the Catholic Church got in an uproar over the release of Dogma, another film that used the bible and some astray theories to threaten a negation of existence. End of Days takes it all even further with gun toting priests, ritual birth ceremonies with snake's blood and a massive shootout in a church. It remains a mystery as to why the church didn't get upset over this production.
The movie does have some other problems. Satan is a far too agreeable character. At one point many viewers may actually root for him. As in many action works, there are numerous continuity issues such as the convenient vanishing of walls and violations of physics. The writers must have seen how Kevin Pollak was merely reprising his excellent performance from The Usual Suspects in this film and slipped in a blatantly ripped off line, "Satan's greatest trick was convincing man he didn't exist." Perhaps the movie's tagline, "The end is near," is meant to reassure audiences of the closing credits.

To test against Postgres docker test container set the platform to postgres
in
src/test/resources/application-test.yaml
Refer to docs / testing if application-test.yaml doesn't exist yet.
ebean: test: platform: postgres # h2, postgres, ... ddlMode: dropCreate # none | dropCreate | migrations | create dbName: my_app
That is all we need to do. Running tests via IDE, maven or gradle will all automatically setup a docker test container for postgres including creating the database and user etc.
The above will use the following defaults:
| username: | {dbName} |
|---|---|
| password: | test |
| port: | 6432 |
| url: | jdbc:postgresql://localhost:{port}/{dbName} |
| image: | postgres:{version:12} |
We can use the io.ebean:ebean-postgres
dependency rather than io.ebean:ebean
if we want to only
bring in the Postgres specific platform code. Depending on io.ebean:ebean
will bring in all platforms.
UUID is mapped to native Postgres UUID type.
java.net.InetAddress and io.ebean.types.Inet are both automatically mapped to native Postgres INET type. When using InetAddress we need to take care that it doesn't perform unwanted DNS lookup validating addresses. io.ebean.types.Inet is a simple value type.
We use @DbArray to map Lists or Sets of UUID, String, Enums, Number types. These are mapped to Postgres array types like uuid[], varchar[], integer[] ...
For more on Postgres Array types.
We can use @DbJson and @DbJsonB to map content to Postgres JSON or JSONB types.
We can use @DbMap to map Map<String,String>
properties to
Postgres HSTORE type.
Postgres has an ANY
operator which allows binding an Array of values. This can provide a very big
benefit when using = ANY(?)
rather than the usual IN (?,?,? ...)
when the number of
bind values for an IN clause is variable. Effectively no matter the number of bind values with Postgres = ANY
we get to use the exact same SQL. This means we need only use a single Ebean query plan, a single JDBC PreparedStatement
and the database server also only see the one sql statement and typically means that it only needs to parse that once to
determine the query plan ("the database has to do less hard parsing").
For these reasons Ebean will use Postgres = ANY
whenever it can rather than use a IN
clause.
Additionally you often want to use = ANY
in SQL statements for DtoQuery
and SqlQuery.
History support for Postgres is provided by generating triggers and history table.
Postgres 10 added support for table partitioning. We use @DbPartition
to define the
table should have range partitioning based on DAY, WEEK, MONTH or YEAR.
@DbPartition(mode = DAY, property = "eventTime") @Entity @Table(name = "event") public class DEvent extends BaseDomain { ...
We may want to use extensions like hstore
and pgcrypto
.
Note that when using ebean-test with docker it will automatically add those 2
extensions by default.
We can specify extensions that should be installed automatically via:
ebean: test: platform: postgres #, h2, postgres, mysql, oracle, sqlserver ddlMode: dropCreate # none | dropCreate | migrations | create dbName: myapp postgres: extensions: pgcrypto, hstore
With Postgres it could be considered good practice to create our tables into a named schema (and not the public schema).
If we want to do this we have made this easy in Ebean version 11.18.2 where we can specify ebean.dbSchema
and this is then used for both DB migrations and create-all.sql.
It is advisable that the DB User matches the DB Schema. When this is done then there is no need to use
currentSchema
or modify the search path
. For example, if I want to use a schema called
myapp
it is advisable to have the DB user/role match and be myapp
.
ebean: dbSchema: myapp ## use this database schema
databaseConfig.setDbSchema("myapp");
We can programmatically start a docker container version of Postgres. This can be a useful way to run an application locally.
The below uses ebean-test-docker
dependency which already comes with ebean-test
.
If we do not have a dependency on ebean-test
then add io.ebean:ebean-test-docker:5.0
as a dependency.
package main; import io.ebean.docker.commands.PostgresContainer; public class StartPostgres { public static void main(String[] args) { PostgresContainer container = PostgresContainer.newBuilder("14") // .port(5432) // Note: defaults to 6432 .dbName("my_app") .user("my_app") .password("silly") .containerName("pg14x") .extensions("hstore,pgcrypto") .build(); container.start(); } }
The above will programmatically start a Postgres 13 docker container on port 6432. It will create a database and user with container name pg13x. It will drop and re-create the container if the container already exists.
Set the logging level for io.ebean.docker
to trace
to help trouble shoot any issues or
understand what ebean-test-docker is doing.
To use PostGIS goto the PostGIS documentation.

PTHREAD_ATTR_SETSTACKSIZE
Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (3)
Updated: 2014-05-28
Index
Return to Main Contents
NAME
pthread_attr_setstacksize, pthread_attr_getstacksize - set/get stack size
attribute in thread attributes object
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_attr_setstacksize(pthread_attr_t *attr, size_t stacksize);
int pthread_attr_getstacksize(const pthread_attr_t *attr, size_t *stacksize);
Compile and link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION
The
pthread_attr_setstacksize()
function sets the stack size attribute of the
thread attributes object referred to by
attr
to the value specified in
stacksize.
The stack size attribute determines the minimum size (in bytes) that
will be allocated for threads created using the thread attributes object
attr.
The
pthread_attr_getstacksize()
function returns the stack size attribute of the
thread attributes object referred to by
attr
in the buffer pointed to by
stacksize.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return 0;
on error, they return a nonzero error number.
ERRORS
pthread_attr_setstacksize()
can fail with the following error:
- EINVAL
-
The stack size is less than
PTHREAD_STACK_MIN
(16384) bytes.
On some systems,
pthread_attr_setstacksize()
can fail with the error
EINVAL
if
stacksize
is not a multiple of the system page size.
VERSIONS
These functions are provided by glibc since version 2.1.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The
pthread_attr_setstacksize()
and
pthread_attr_getstacksize()
functions are thread-safe.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
For details on the default stack size of new threads, see
pthread_create(3).
A thread's stack size is fixed at the time of thread creation.
Only the main thread can dynamically grow its stack.
The
pthread_attr_setstack(3)
function allows an application to set both the size and location
of a caller-allocated stack that is to be used by a thread.
BUGS
As at glibc 2.8,
if the specified
stacksize
is not a multiple of
STACK_ALIGN
(16 bytes on most architectures), it may be rounded
downward,
in violation of POSIX.1-2001, which says that the allocated stack will
be at least
stacksize
bytes.
EXAMPLE
See
pthread_create(3).

Av: F/10; Tv: 1/125s; f: 44mm; ISO: 200
Equipment: Nikon D3000 with standard 18-55 VR Lens
Shot in NEF, processed with RAW Therapee
Punakha dzong is a really picturesque place. It is situated at a spot where two rivers meet. The colors of the roof and monument blend in with those of the landscape (river, flowers, even the road!). It is a must-visit if you are in Bhutan.
The problem is that there is no proper viewpoint as such to get a clear shot of the fortress and the confluence of the rivers together. We did get a few of those (coming up in another post).
This particular photo captures just one building at the complex. This building is separate from the rest of the Dzong (and probably houses some very important offices, by the look of it).
The look of the photo is enhanced by the backdrop - the mountains and the clouds. I probably should have cropped of the right end - but that would mean I'd also lose some of those flowers - which is why I let it be.

About Chief Obafemi Awolowo
Chief Obafemi Jeremiah Oyeniyi Awolowo, GCFR (Yoruba: Ọbafẹ́mi Oyèníyì Awólọ́wọ̀; 6 March 1909 – 9 May 1987), was a Nigerian nationalist and statesman who played a key role in Nigeria's independence movement, the First and Second Republics and the Civil War. The son of a Yoruba farmer, he was one of the truly self-made men among his contemporaries in Nigeria. Awolowo advocated federalism as the only basis for equitable national integration and, as head of the Action Group, he led demands for a federal constitution, which was introduced in the 1954 Lyttleton Constitution, following primarily the model proposed by the Western Region delegation led by him. As premier, he proved to be and was viewed as a man of vision and a dynamic administrator. Awolowo was also the country's leading social democratic politician. He supported limited public ownership and limited central planning in government. He believed that the state should channel Nigeria's resources into education and state-led infrastructural development. Controversially, and at considerable expense, he introduced free primary education for all and free health care for children in the Western Region, established the first television service in Africa in 1959, and the Oduduwa Group, all of which were financed from the highly lucrative cocoa industry which was the mainstay of the regional economy. He was thrice a major contender for his country's highest office.
