Computer LAN (Structured Network Cabling):-
Computer LAN as per Industry Standards/ Structured
Network Cabling Solution for Voice, DATA. Video Systems
Computer Lan as per ANSI TIA Standards. Once you done it
you literally forget the LAN connectivity problems, you have
better speed while accessing network pcs, servers and data.
Computer LAN is backbone of any company’s IT infrastructure.
If it is working smoothly you can have always access of
internet, Printers, data, Servers. Cabling plays very important
role in LAN. So we start our job with proper structured network
cabling as per the standards. Every Business need to invest in
cabling system like other IT Infrastructure, but the main difference
is when we implement standards based structured network cabling it
lasts for more than 20 years! Comparatively there is no any IT
system which last such a long period. So Investment of Structured
Network cabling always offer us attractive ROI Returns on Investment.
*In following scenario you need Structured Network Cabling
(LAN as per ANSI TIA Standard) Solution:-
a) Suddenly network PCs go offline and without doing anything
(just computer restart) they come online.
b) You cannot access internet, printer, and server only because
you are frequently disconnected from LAN
c) You have very slow speed while accessing other pc or server
d) You need to always reconnect lan cables in switch, PC LAN cards
for connectivity issues
e) You need always crimping RJ 45 Connectors for connectivity problems
f) You have very old cabling system. Old cabling system has
limitation to offer only 100mbps speed. Even though our Laptop,
desktop can accept 1000 mbps (1giga speed).So up gradation of old
cabling system became very necessary for availing benefit of Giga LAN.
g) If you are expanding the business so you need more network connectivity.
h) You are shifting your office to new premises and you want
to properly organize your all IT infrastructure network
connectivity (Voice Video Data Network)
I) in short we design the network for voice, data, and video
as per the industry standards. So it becomes robust and your
business operation carry out smoothly.

Your task in this exercise is to show the behavior for Linked list deletion. You must delete the element in the given position.
To move an element value from one node to another, click on it (to highlight it), then click on the element position in the node where you want it to go. Do the same to set the "return" value – click on an element (to highlight it), and then click on the return box to set it to the highlighted value. You can make a node's "next" pointer point to "null" by first clicking the pointer for the node and then clicking the "Make Null" button.
To change a pointer, click on its box (on the right side of the node) to highlight it, then click on the node that you want it to point to. Note that you can you can only assign pointers to nodes that are visible to the algorithm! The visible nodes are new nodes, and the one pointed to by prev, and their successors. To move the prev pointer forward, click the "Move Forward" button.
Point the prev pointer to the node before the node where you want to insert the value.
Now you can copy the value to delete to the return box.
Finally, you have to redirect the next pointer for the prev.
And don't forget to set the pointer of the node to be deleted to null (for garbage collection).

15 million adolescent girls worldwide, aged 15–19 years, have experienced forced sex.  Based on data from 30 countries, only one per cent have ever sought professional help.
In Africa, 40–60 per cent of women have experienced street-based sexual harassment. In the multi-country study, women said the harassment was mainly sexual comments, stalking or following, or staring or ogling. Between 31 and 64 per cent of men said they had carried out such acts. Younger men, men with more education, and men who experienced violence as children were more likely to engage in street sexual harassment. We would like to help you.


Say Hello to steemians & the progress
In my previous post, I showed you my Intel Edison kit and planed to make an automatic watering device with it.
But more than a month has passed, I haven’t finished it it, Because I spend almost all of my time at steemit.
Today, I decide to continue work on it.
First, let me say hello to steemians from my Intel Edison device.
The second line message shows on LCD is meaningless for steemit, you can ignore it.
I use a potentiometer which on the bottom right corner to simulate the humidity sensor, and read the analog value of it. It will be replaced with the following module.
And I use a Led on bread board to simulate the water pump，and use an electric relay to control it.
My program will check the humidity sensor every 30 minutes, when the humidity is below the threshold，the water pump start watering.
Task list
The program is almost finished, what I need to do are:
- Order a water pump to replace the LED
- Order a humidity sensor to replace the potentiometer.
- Use independent power supply for electric relay and water pump. Because the push current of edison GPIO PIN is limited to small value. It’s difficult to drive a water pump, and may damage compute module.
- A Voltage conversion device is also needed. Because most of water pump worked on 24V.
- I also need a tank to hold water.
And most important of all， I need a potted plant:)
(*This picture is taken from baidu.com )
I will try my best to finish my automatic watering device ASAP.
This page is synchronized from the post: Say Hello to steemians from my Intel Edison device, and the progress of my automatic watering device.

A JavaScript engine is a program or an interpreter which executes JavaScript code
V8 (by google)
Rhino (by Mozilla foundation)
SpiderMonkey (by firefox)
JavascriptCore (by Appple)
few more...
Your code isn't magic. Someone else wrote a program to translate it for the computer
Extra Stuff
In other words, in programming languages, where you to write your code is very important.
There are lots of lexical environments. Which one is currently running is managed via execution contexts.The wrapper can contain things beyond what you've written in your code.
The name may be defined more than once, but only can have one value in any given context. That value can be more name/value pairs.
company = 'abhra cloud'
The simplest definition when talking about Javascript
Example
Address: {
Building: '3 cube towers',
Floor: 5
}
Example
b();
console.log(a);
var a = 'Hello World!';
function b() {
console.log('Called b!');
}
Example
var a;
console.log(a);
if (a === undefined) {
console.log('a is undefined!');
}
else {
console.log('a is defined!');
}
Example
function b() {
console.log('Called b!');
}
b();
console.log(a);
var a = 'Hello World!';
console.log(a);
And in order
In Javascript, by using parenthesis ()
function b() {
}
function a() {
b()
}
a();
function b() {
}
function a() {
b()
}
a();
Execution Stack
function b() {
}
function a() {
b()
}
a();
Execution Stack
And how they relate to each other in memory
function b() {
var myVar;
}
function a() {
var myVar = 2;
b();
}
var myVar = 1;
a();
function b() {
var myVar;
}
function a() {
var myVar = 2;
b();
}
var myVar = 1;
a();
Execution Stack
function b() {
console.log(myVar);
}
function a() {
var myVar = 2;
b();
}
var myVar = 1;
a();
Execution Stack
Scope Chain
event queue
event queue
Example
// long running function
function waitThreeSeconds() {
var ms = 3000 + new Date().getTime();
while (new Date() < ms){}
console.log('finished function');
}
function clickHandler() {
console.log('click event!');
}
// listen for the click event
document.addEventListener('click', clickHandler);
waitThreeSeconds();
console.log('finished execution');
You don't have to tell JS what type of data a variable holds, JS will figure that out while your code is running.
bool isNew = 'hello'; // an error
var isNew = true; // no errors
isNew = 'yup!';
isNew = 1;
A Special function that is syntatically(written) diffently.
Generally, operators takes two parameters and return one result.
Which operator function gets called first.
Functions are called in order of precedence.
What order operator functions get called in: left to right or right to left.
When functions have the same precedence.
var a = 3 + 4 * 5;
console.log(a);
var a = 2, b = 3, c = 4;
a = b = c;
console.log(a);
console.log(b);
console.log(c);
Converting a value from one type of another
This happens quite often in Javascript because it's dynamically typed.
var a = 1 + "2";
console.log(a);
console.log(1 < 2 < 3);


Postgres Datatypes – the Ones You're Not Using.
Postgres has a variety of datatypes, in fact quite a few more than most other databases. Most commonly applications take advantage of the standard ones – integers, text, numeric, etc. Almost every application needs these basic types, the rarer ones may be needed less frequently. And while not needed on every application when you do need them they can be an extremely handy. So without further ado let’s look at some of these rarer but awesome types.
hstore
Yes, I’ve talked about this one before, yet still not enough people are using it. Of this list of datatypes this is one that could also have benefit for most if not all applications. Hstore is a key-value store directly within Postgres. This means you can easily add new keys and values (optionally), without haveing to run a migration to setup new columns. Further you can still get great performance by using Gin and GiST indexes with them, which automatically index all keys and values for hstore.
It’s of note that hstore is an extension and not enabled by default. If you want the ins and outs of getting hands on with it, give the article on Postgres Guide a read.
Range types
If there is ever a time where you have two columns in your database with one being a from, another being a to, you probably want to be using range types. Range types are just that a set of ranges. A super common use of them is when doing anything with calendaring. The place where they really become useful is in their ability to apply constraints on those ranges. This means you can make sure you don’t have overlapping time issues, and don’t have to rebuild heavy application logic to accomplish it.
Timestamp with Timezone
Timestamps are annoying, plain and simple. If you’ve re-invented handling different timezones within your application you’ve wasted plenty of time and likely done it wrong. If you’re using plain timestamps within your application further there’s a good chance they dont even mean what you think they mean. Timestamps with timezone or timestamptz automatically includes the timezone with the timestamp. This makes it easy to convert between timezones, know exactly what you’re dealing with, and will in short save you a ton of time. There’s seldom a case you shouldn’t be using these.
UUID
Integers as primary keys aren’t great. Sure if you’re running a small blog they work fine, but if you’re application has to scale to a large size then integers can create problems. First you can run out of them, second it can make other details such as sharding a little more annoying. At the same time they are super readable. However, using the actual UUID datatype and extension to automatically generate them can be incredibly handy if you have to scale an application.
Similar to hstore, there’s an extension that makes the UUID much more useful.
Binary JSON
This isn’t available yet, but will be in Postgres 9.4. Binary JSON is of course JSON directly within your database, but also lets you add Gin indexes directly onto JSON. This means a much simpler setup in not only inserting JSON, but having fast reads. If you want to learn a bit more about this, sign up to get notified of training regarding the upcoming PostgreSQL 9.4 release.
Money
Please don’t use this… The money datatype assumes a single currency type, and generally brings with it more caveats than simply using a numeric type.
More
It’s already been pointed out on twitter that I missed a few. To give a quick highlight of some others:
- Arrays
- Interval – time intervals, such as ‘1 hour’, ‘1 day’
- ISN – should help for anything with products
- Inet – Tracking IPs
In conclusion
What’d I miss? What are you’re favorite types? Let me know @craigkerstiens, or sign-up below to updates on Postgres content and first access to training.

WADA suspends Bangkok laboratory
(Reuters) - The National Doping Control Centre in Bangkok has been suspended for six months due to non-conformities, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on Wednesday.
The suspension, which took effect on Nov. 18, prohibits the laboratory from carrying out any anti-doping activities, including all analyses of urine and blood samples.
WADA said the suspension was the result of a site visit that found non-conformities with the International Standard for Laboratories (ISL).
The laboratory was given six months to address the issues otherwise WADA said it may extend the suspension for another six months.
During the suspension sample testing will be moved to another WADA accredited laboratory.

Hello {{ user }}!
{% endif %}This page provides information about creating and hosting a task on this website.
SNAPlab members can create online tasks to be hosted on this website. To get access, please first create an account if you don't already have one. Once you have an account, please e-mail the PI of SNAPlab requesting that your username be added to the "Experimenters" group, which then will allow you to create and host tasks here.
Once you have your experimenter credentials, and have read this page fully, you can head over the task creation page to create a new task. While creating a task, you will need to specify:
The JSON file that you upload during task creation contains all the information needed to run the task on this website. This JSON file should have a single object with the following fields:
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| instructions | A list of strings. Each string in the list will be used as a separate instruction bullet. |
| feedback | A boolean value. If true, feedback will be provided as message boxes at the end of each trial. |
| serveraudio | A boolean value. If true, this means that you will upload the audio stimuli for your task directly into the file system of our web server. This is possible if the total size of your audio files is less than 200 MB or so. For larger tasks, please upload your files to a separate storage server (e.g., AWS S3 bucket, or your Purdue WWW folder) and use links from the server for specifying your stimuli. |
| trials | A list of trial objects. Each trial object has four fields for specifying the stimulus, prompt, response choices, and correct answer for that trial. |
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| prompt | A sting that is used as thte prompt message for the trial. |
| choices | A list of strings. When the trial is displayed, each string in the list will have a button associated with it. |
| stimulus | A string which specifies the filename (if stored on this webserver), or preferably, a URL pointing to the audio file that is served from a different storage server (like AWS S3 bucket or Purdue WWW folder). |
| answer | Integer. A value indicating which item in the choices list is the correct answer for the trial. This is used to provide feedback (if feedback is true for the task), and used by backend programs to calculate scores and other metrics. |
{
"instructions": ["Wear Headphones", "Do Task"],
"feedback": true,
"serveraudio": true,
"trials":[
{
"prompt": "Select one of the three options",
"choices": ["FIRST", "SECOND", "THIRD"],
"stimulus": "aud.wav",
"answer": 3
},
{
"prompt": "Select one of the three options",
"choices": ["FIRST", "SECOND", "THIRD"],
"stimulus": "aud.wav",
"answer": 1
},
{
"prompt": "Select one of the three options",
"choices": ["FIRST", "SECOND", "THIRD"],
"stimulus": "aud.wav",
"answer": 2
}
]
}
This task has three trials, and incidentally happens to use the same audio file in all three trials (not common).
For a typical 3-AFC task using the method of constant stimuli to construct psychometric functions,
all trials will have the same three strings in the choices field,
have the same prompt, but different stimulus files for each trial.
However, requiring the JSON file to specify a list of choices and prompts for each trial allows the experimenter to interleave arbitrarily different kinds of trials.
For instance, you might have a main task with one type of trials, and then mix in trials that help test whether the subject is wearing headphones, or mix in trials that might help get a metric of data quality and whether the subject is paying attention to the task at hand, and so on.
Note that when using files like "aud.wav" that are to be hosted on the server, talk to the PI to see how to get your audio files there. The preferred method will be to host your files somewhere else on the web and include URLs to them, for instance "https://web.ics.purdue.edu/~mypurduename/media/trial1.wav".
Happy experimenting!

 It's awkward and annoying for a while, until it becomes unmanageable and horrid. Like, did you know if you get a conflict error from your RDBMS, Zope will retry the entire transaction (i.e., rerun the request)? It would be handy, unless it's not what you want, and if it's not what you want nobody knows what to do next. That's just one of many gotchas when using an RDBMS with Zope.
I would just dive in and change stuff around, but I know I'd just recreate another set of problems, because everything is so damn subtle (read: tricky and likely to break). Zope learning starts out hard, then gets easy after an hour, then gets hard again after another hour, then gets impossible after a week. Or it stays just hard, but you've unwittingly created buggy, unscalable, insecure applications.
All my Zope unhappiness might be okay -- not great, but maybe okay -- if it was just pleasant once in a while. But it's never pleasant, just bearable.
Damn, I'd almost rather work in PHP. Actually I would. That's how much I dislike Zope.
I'd be happy to get you a copy of Programming Perl, if that might help. :)
Ian,
Very similar experiences to what I had. It was deathly hard to get my head around zope, then when i tried to do anything beyond simple it got very hard again. I found that when just using plone to have a basic intranet portal (read link dump to internal documents) it was straight forward. But once I tried to use a RDBMS I kept on feeling like I was wrestling with pretty simple stuff to make it zope like. The quixote and webware approach seem much more friendly in hindsight :)
Wha? It's just Python, guys.
I agree with Chris M. I've been doing RDBMS with Zope for years, and it was very natural to me from day one.
In fact, I have yet to find a RDBMS interaction system in Python that I would prefer. And believe me, I've looked. (In house frameworks should eventually satisfy me).
Zope's never felt like Python to me. Obviously it is Python... maybe I mean "Pythonic", for some internal concept of what Pythonic means to me. Maybe it's just that I've only used Zope professionally, and that colors my perspective, but it's never been emotionally satisfying, which isn't true of programming or Python in general.# Ian Bicking
I don't think you've explained the actual problem very well. Maybe you'd rather not, which I can understand. ;-)
In part it really is an emotional response, which is hard to pinpoint in one place. It's not any one detail -- there's always details that are problematic with any system. I could create a long list of details, and that would account for some of it, but even those cumulative details don't really account for it.
I think it's really a feeling that I am not in control. I don't feel confident about my applications, and the way they will work in production. They depend intimately on a system that I don't understand, that I feel I can't understand. Learning about Zope doesn't lead me to feel more in control -- often it's exactly the opposite, I feel less in control the more I learn, which is incredibly discouraging. And in the end, I simply don't buy the It's Complicated But It's Powerful argument -- not just for Zope, but in an abstract sense I find that argument flawed. Even its "power" feels like a flaw to me, so I'm left with very little motivation.# Ian Bicking
I'm sympathetic because it's not as if I haven't cursed Zope up and down for one reason or another on a daily basis. But it does its job more or less most of the time. Then again, I've never asked Zope to satisfy me emotionally, so maybe I just have low standards. ;-)
When I say "emotional" of course I mean the difference between enjoying what I'm doing, and simply doing it because I have to. The word "emotional" might carry more weight than that, though...# Ian Bicking
Zope, asyncore, medusa,...
This is the downside of Python: it allows hard-working people to produce something working. The result is of course far from elegant, difficult to grasp, difficult to use, ...
I would recommend Python only to talented people.
My 2 cents
Although it's often a problem with Web applications, Zope never really seemed to lend itself to incremental development and testing. I know that they've improved things recently, and the emphasis on components is very welcome, but there's nothing worse than having to stop and start servers, redeploy stuff, and so on (especially if the software runs like treacle).
I've come round to thinking that architectures should be as shallow as possible because they then lend themselves to being comprehensively tested and understood. Zope and various J2EE frameworks seem to be like towers in contrast to such ideals.# Paul Boddie
For some projects I'm working on, the lack of explicit control over transactions is a deal breaker. (There may very well be a way to get explicit transaction control, but I sure can't find it.) Not to mention the fact that in several respects the bog-standard python DB-API is superior to what you have to wrastle with inside ZSQL templates. Chris's "it's just python, guys" comment is misleading, while true; python is both a way of doing things and a specific implementation. Zope strips from you almost everything you'd expect to be doing if you had experience working with relational DBs with python outside of zope.
I think Ethan hit on what I was trying to say. ZSQL templates just seemed unnatural to me. Also, once I had everything worked out in ZSQL scripts it wasn't usable outside of Zope so it seemed limiting.
I found working with the DB-API much more straightforward.
I've worked with Perl, PHP, and Python (in that order). I've settled into Python, I like it very much. It's "satisfying".
I tried Python CGI, and ended up getting really frustrated. I tried Zope, and have had mostly good experiences. I have a few applications working, and am introducing my co-workers to it now, because I think it's relatively easy to use. The web interface is comforting if you haven't done a lot of web development. I like the fact that I don't have to rewrite common code, like user authentication, it's just built in.
Now though, I'm really not sure what direction to go in. I'd like to be able to commit to a direction for a while. The first step was focusing on a language, I chose Python, now I need to focus on a web framework. It's a really muddy field, and it's very frustrating.
Ethan: yes, the DB-API is a good example. In fact, the DB-API is pretty lame to work with -- it's long-winded and not that pleasant to use. But, all its problems are up-front and obvious, and it lends itself well to serving as a base for a more pleasant system. Z-SQL methods are, of course, quite the opposite. Besides being one language (Z SQL) piled ontop of another language (DTML), neither of which are good languages (and they definitely are not Python!), they also resist safely abstracting the SQL generation process, and they resist sensible composition.# Ian Bicking
My thoughts are that Zope is terribly unsatisfying when you try and coerce DTML or ZPT do too much of the work that SHOULD be done by an external python script. Go here http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-db/2003-July/thread.html
and read the thread "Hello!" - I found it enlightening.# Erik
Note: no condesention towards the author of the original bit - this link would only be helpful to others at my, lower, level of zope enlightenment.
It really is a multi-leveled app server. It makes somewhat hard things easy, and then they get awkward as you want them to do more, and then, do they get easier again? Hopefully one day I will find out...# Erik
I've been _loving_ using ZPT and python scripts to display and edit databases using ZSQL. After researching lots of different ways of doing it, (Tapestry, jsp, webware, php, jhtml, etc...) I've found my favorite way is using zope.
I've put together about five different sites that work with databases, and the first one took me about five days of part time, and subsequent ones haven't taken more than about two hours each. (Each one deals with 3 SQL tables max.)
I have forms that act as both an add and an edit, and I've never had any databese requests fail. The ZSQL Connection has lots of parameters that let me control everything that I'd want to, and it does some nice database pooling so I don't have to.
I think my advice to anyone else would be to avoid all the shiny things in zope that are supposed to make things easier, and keep it to Page Templates, Python Scripts, and ZSQL methods.
-Jim
Well, as for speed of implementation, zope can be a RAD tool for web development. It's just that it seems to lock everything up inside the mysterious ZODB.
Ian, saying that you'd prefer php, cmon we all know you'd be using webware long before you had to resort to php ;P
My "it's just Python" comment was meant to mean you can use the DB-API if you want... just write the code to do it and plug it in an external method or product on the filesystem. Those developing in Zope through the web will always be terribly disappointed at some point, sorry, nothing can be done about that.
 If you want a raw rdbms connection
object in Zope. If you have a DA Adapter in ZODB you can grab a hold of the raw db-api connection object. As far as catching ConflictError - I believe you can catch this.
from ZODB.POSException import ConflictError
try:
your_code()
except ConflictError:
log('eek, conflicterror')
maybe this works?

Chris, Alan: I generally worry that I'm going to get burned when I try to treat Zope as "just Python". This is mostly due to Zope's security, which at once stymies me and scares me -- I know there's big holes in my applications, but none of the holes that I want. Anyway, passing objects into and out of Zope is less than trivial -- I only feel confident when I'm passing builtin structures (strings, lists, dicts, etc).
But yes, I could figure this out and use the DB-API and ignore Zope entirely. That's frustrating, because that's not how I've developed the application so far. And I've been following the documentation's suggestions -- the problem is that most Zope documentation suggests a style of programming that is not appropriate for complex applications. And now that the applications exist in their current form, moving into the plain Python environment is not that easy. And if I do, why do I want to use Zope at all?
Okay, okay, there's ways to deal with it all, and there's ways ways to use Zope better, and there are things that Zope provides -- but none of that addresses the real driving factor behind the post: Zope makes me unhappy. You can't argue with that! My programmer-happiness expectations are high -- as well they should be! This is Python after all, we should expect more. I don't like the feeling that I don't understand the system, that I can't easily understand the system; that's there's always a technique I'm missing; that there's always a system interaction bug I'm not expecting; I don't like that I feel ignorant, and yet I feel like I know more than many Zope programmers -- I can deal with ignorance, but there's something wrong when there's so many people starving for too little knowledge. And I hate, hate, hate the idea that Zope Is Complex But Powerful.   I'd like to get to the rocket science part, but if I can't build the stupid website easily I'm not going to buy into the rocket science.
Now I'm just getting ranty. But it's frustrating.# Ian Bicking
Ian, if you're interested in using something more pythonic, you might want to try twisted (www.twistedmatrix.com). I started using Zope in 1.x days and have since left it for the same reasons you've highlighted here. I've found twisted difficult to get started but once you get your head around some of the basic concepts, it's actually pretty fun to work with.
You could use the 'high level' web application development package Nevow (http://nevow.com/) which is the next generation woven. Nevow is usable but still not 1.0, so perhaps you might want to use twisted.web.server and twisted.web.resource directly. It even supports ssl/tls. You could plugin processors for other types of 'documents' (twisted supports php and quixote templates, for example).
One negative point is that being new, twisted docs are...well, have plenty of room to improve.# Mojo
I wrote a long response to this here about TTW development vs. filesystem-based development but just erased it. It feels pointless, as this topic has been discussed ad-nauseam on Zope lists and elsewhere.
Maybe you should consider recusing yourself from doing Zope development for a while? I'm not trying to be snarky at all by saying that, it's a serious suggestion. There are plenty of other Python frameworks for building web apps out there (but you know that...) Zope really just isn't for everyone, and it's *ok* that you prefer using something else. I'd miss the outlook of your posts about Zope, actually, but they seem to be at the expense of your "programming happiness" which no one should deny you of! ;-)
Chris: the Zope development I do is purely as an employee, so I don't entirely get to choose to recuse myself. But I am actually pushing pretty hard at work for us to try new things. Like Webware (obviously, considering my background with that project). I've held back from making those suggestions before now, because I haven't felt as confident about my own assessment of Zope, or my assessments of the company's needs. Given a little more time with both of those, I'm being more active in pushing specific technologies and strategies.
It's funny though... am I pushing these changes because they are the right choice, or just the right choice for me? Of course, with only three and a half developers, even if it's only the right choice for me, that doesn't mean it's not the right choice for the company. It's hard to be objective, but at the same time I'm not a disinterested consultant. But I'm proud of that, you can't be disinterested and constructive at the same time. And sometimes I feel partisan, but maybe I'm just opinionated and invested.
(BTW, Chris, I found the document you wrote about collaborative development in Zope to be quite helpful in thinking about our processes -- if I felt committed to Zope development, that would be the direction I'd be pushing; at the same time, it seems like nearly as radical a change to our development process as using Webware)# Ian Bicking
Ian can't agree with you more!! Bascially my feeling is that writing Python should be fun and almost always is!! Python is usually a refreshing break from writing Java, everyday. But Zope isn't a refreshing break from J2EE if you will. Specifically Servlets part of the spec. Sure love plone and the content managment management stuff is great! If Zope was to J2EE as Python is to Java. From what little I have read about Zope 3 it is supposed to be better (which is quite a loose term). Here's hopping.
LHJ# Lateef Jackson
The "Zope is Python's J2EE" view is quite compelling, especially if you look at some of the Zope 3 documentation. However, after reading the recent comments of James Gosling (and having done a fair amount of J2EE development), J2EE doesn't really seem to be a great role model, at least where simple and understandable Web development is concerned.# Paul Boddie
I don't get the impression that J2EE is a model for Zope 3 at all, at least on any technical level. In terms of strategy and target domain, sure, but that's probably not where J2EE's flaws come from.# Ian Bicking
I think Erik's comment about using external scripts is right on target. I have had more than my share of frustration with Zope as well, Ian. And I really do get your emotional reaction. I find coding python one of the most enjoyable things I can do with a computer and Zope has often been very frustrating in contrast. And, like you, my major use of zope has been for a work project.
But lately I have traced my dislike of zope to two main factors. Really, really muddled documentation (which has gotten somewhat better since 2.6) and the fact that I was using the wrong parts (muddled documentation, anyone?) of it in the wrong way. Switching from DTML to ZPT, understanding and extensively using external scripts and developing as products instead of internally has gone a long way toward easing my pain. I won't say that I find developing in zope a dream, but honestly I find developing with any extensive framework always to have a good share of annoyances and gotchas as I have to wrap my head around someone else's idea of the best way to do something. That might just be me being a little slow to pick things up unless I coded them, tho.# John P. Withers
I faced the same problem with one of my last Zope projects (a Zope product with tons of ZSQL statements in a seperate .py file which were rather awkward to integrate with an OO program structure).
For the successor of this project i used SQLObject :) Worked well (i hooked up the transactions to the Zope transactions), but i wasn't able to directly publish SQLObjects on the web (with bobo_traverse) & therefore had to use wrapper code.
For my next project I will try out Twisted + Nevow, although I am not sure if async programming is a good idea...
Guenther: it depends on what your project is up to, but TooFPy (http://pyds.muensterland.org/wiki/toolserver.html) might be an alternative for you. Just plug in a good template engine and for example SQLObject for persistency. But be warned that TooFPy is more targeted towards web services than web applications with browser based GUIs, so it's rather low-level.
Is Zope3 hoping to address any of the problems discussed in this thread?
Not directly, but I wrote a small wrapper around SQLObject (Hi Ian! :) that solves a great part of this problem, if not all. It integrates very nicely with the transaction machinery of ZODB, because the transaction api in Zope 3 is much better defined. Unfortunately, Zope 3 may not be an option for everyone :)
I've resorted to building my own application framework in PHP that persists objects in individual files vs. a "black box" database and implements limited Zope-like acquisition of methods and properties. It's not a complete Zope knock-off by any stretch, but it will do 90% of what I'd use Zope for, sans the hair-pulling.# James
I started to look into zope as I was looking for a decent templating system for CherryPy. I stumbled on SimpleTAL (ZPT without Zope) which seems to work somewhat well with CherryPy.
Still undecided what to do, I may know better in a few days.

Join the numbers to form numbers in the Lucas series and get to the 3571 tile!
How to play: Use the arrow keys to move the tiles. When two tiles with that sum to a Lucas number touch, they merge into one!
The Lucas Series It is said that the French mathematican, Edouard Lucas (1842-1891), who was fascinated with the Fibonacci number sequence, decided to make a clever pattern of his own by simply modifying the first two numbers.
2, 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, 18, ....
Like the Fibonanci sequence, each number in the series is formed by the sum of the two previous numbers. However, note that first two numbers are 2 and 1 instead of 0 and 1. The Lucas sequence has a great deal of interesting patterns, the most interesting of which is its close relationship to the golden ratio!

We are actively seeking NHS Trusts and labs who would like to
include their data in this project.
In addition, we are always keen to hear from GPs, policymakers, hospital pathologists, public health staff, funders, microbiologists, researchers and data scientists!
Why get involved as a Trust or Lab?
Participating regions can expect the following benefits:
- Improved patient care
- Reduced costs
- Better documentation and reduction of lab workloads
- More effective collaboration with GP Practices and commissioners
These benefits will be achieved through:
- Standardisation of data, supporting benchmarking against other regions
- Access to a suite of free online tools for supporting audit and feedback, including
- Ability to identify unnecessary test requests
- Measures of efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness presented in easy-to-understand charts for each practice and lab
- Time trends
- Automated feedback by email for interested GP practices on unusual testing variation
- A per-region dashboard showing top-level summary trends and alerts, with national benchmarks
- Data showing trends over time
- All the normalised, processed data and analyses will be available as raw data downloads for further analysis within each lab or trust
How to get involved
The pilot tool will be built using extracts from participating labs’ LIMS. The minimum a partner needs to do is provide LIMS data in the OpenPathology format, once a month. At the end of every month we will update dashboards for every participating Lab.
Ideally, you would allocate some time to provide explanations of known issues and anomalies. We will host occasional meetings in Oxford to discuss development of the tools.
During the prototype period, we are also able to help write software to convert the raw output of a LIMS to this format. Get in touch at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to express an interest.
When can I see my data?
Our goal is to provide audit and feedback test requests for every practice in England (and beyond). However, we're some way off achieving this.
During the pilot phase we will be collecting data directly from a small number of hospital laboratories. If your local trust is one of these partner labs, then your practice will be included in the pilot outputs. We will maintain a list of partnerships here as they are confirmed. We intend to extend coverage to national data following successful development of the pilot.
How can I get involved?
- Contact your local laboratory team, CCG or CSU to encourage them to support the project by becoming an early partner.
- Help us design amazing tools. On the home page you can see a tiny preview and read some background studies; our prescribing tool OpenPrescribing.net gives a working demonstration of how much we can do with healthcare data. Let us knowwhat you would hope to get out of a pathology feedback tool as a practice, or anything specific you'd like it to include. We will share the pilot tool for your feedback as soon as possible.
- Stay in touch! Keep an eye on this website for updates, get in touch with your thoughts/ideas or sign up to our OpenPathology mailing list to which we will send occasional updates and ask for input/feedback.
- Hopefully you are already making use of our OpenPrescribing service, including our email alerts service customised for your practice or CCG.

--- title: KOKAJI ---
First act: After being visited by an oracle in a dream about a powerful sword, the 11th century emperor Ichijō sends an envoy to the swordsmith Kokaji Munechika requesting that he forges it. Munechika, who does not have an assistant with the proper skills to help him create the sword, goes to the Inari shrine to pray. There a boy appears and tells him that help is coming.
Interlude: A god from a subsidiary shrine appears. He summarizes the events that took place in the first half of the play, and concludes by surmising that Munechika's prayers will be answered.
Second act: Munechika returns to his home and prepares for the ceremonial forging of the sword. As an answer to his prayers, the deity Inari appears in its form as a fox and helps him forge the requested sword. After offering it to the envoy, the deity disappears.
The Shōdan Map under the video represents the play’s intermedia form. It also shows that the play is composed of two acts, and that the first one contains thirteen shōdan, while the second act has eight.
The background color grouping the blocks shows that most shōdan are bound into dan. Act I has four dan: Waki Enters, Dialogue, Shite Performs, and Shite Exits; Act II also has four: Waki Waits, Shite Re-enters, Shite Performs, and Shite Exits. Bringing the cursor over a shōdan identifies the dan to which it belongs.
A comparison between the duration of the two acts shows that the first one is about twice as long as the second, suggesting that the setting-up of the plot in the first act is more elaborate than the second-act development.
The height of the blocks shows the development of the play’s Index of Intermedia (IoI). The different heights demonstrate that the development is not linear but comes in waves. We have identified three kinds of waves.
First: the rising wave within a dan. In the first act, each dan’s IoI forms a wave leading to a peak closer to its end, suggesting that the relationship between the media complexifies as the dan is unfolding. For example, the First act’s Waki Enters is composed on five shōdan, whose index increases exponentially towards the third one. Then, the IoI peaks during the last of the Dialogue's two shōdan. It is during the third and last shōdan of the Shite Performs that the IoI peaks, while in the Shite Exits it peaks on the second out of three shōdan.
Second: the rising wave across an act. The way the IoI transforms over each act differs substantially. The first act counts four waves, whereas there is only one in the second act, as the IoI of subsequent dan increases until the instrumental dance in the Shite Performs dan. These waves suggest a gradual setting-up of the plot in the first act, followed by a sustained and steady development in the second one.
Third: the rising wave of the play as a whole. The IoI is at its lowest at the beginning of Act I, while its four highest peaks create a wave that culminates in the third dan. Because the play’s premise is already set, the IoI at the beginning of Act II is higher than it was at the beginning of Act I, but lower than Act I 's highest IoI. However, it does not take long for the IoI to recuperate the lost ground and further exceed the first act’s peak, when reaching the highest IoI with the instrumental dance.

Composed of five modules (shōdan), the function of this section (dan) is to set up the play’s premise and provide a reason for the shite to appear. Although, this role is often assigned to the secondary actor, the waki, in Kokaji’s case, this process is shared between the wakizure who enters first, and the waki.
The dan’s overall Intermedia Index is low since four out of the five shōdan include unaccompanied prose. The first one has an unmetered delivered by the wakizure standing on Square 1. The second one has an unmetered uttered from the bridge. This is followed by a congruent set in hiranori that marks the first entrance of the jiutai and of the two hand-percussion instruments in strict rhythmic setting and a non-congruent nohkan’s part. The two actors enter the main stage as the jiutai delivers the chant. If the wakizure was the leader in the dan’s first half, the waki takes over in the second half. It starts with a very short between the wakizure kneeling at Square 5, and the waki kneeling at Square 9. Finally, the dan closes with a presented by the waki standing at Square 1.

Dialogue
Monologue.
There is no Shite Enters dan in Kokaji’s first act. To make the appearance of the protagonist mysterious and unanticipated, he is not introduced by particular entrance music, rather his entrance is merged with the following dan through dialogue with the waki.
The function of the Dialogue dan is to set the play’s premise. It is spread over two shōdan. It starts with a surprising 'call from a distance' by the shite, followed by an unmetered and unaccompanied in prose between him and the waki. It is followed by the second congruent of the play. Set in hiranori, it is delivered by the jiutai, accompanied by the two-hand percussion instruments in strict rhythmic setting and a non-congruent nohkan's part.

The first act’s Shite Performs dan establishes the shite's character. It is the highlight of Act I, with the play’s first dance-to-text shōdan, a kuse-mai. In Kokaji's case, it is a sequence of three shōdan, the last of which is the kuse proper. The return to non-congruent singing at the beginning of the dan lowers the Intermedia Index from the end of the preceding one, but then it reaches the highest level in Act I.
The dan starts with a dynamic non-congruent sung by the jiutai, accompanied by the percussion in strict rhythmic setting and a non-congruent nohkan’s part. The next shōdan lowers the overall level of congruency even more with sung by the shite and jiutai, accompanied by the percussion in flexible rhythmic setting and a non-congruent nohkan’s part. This is in clear contrast with the shōdan that follows. This is where the kernel of the plot is presented and as such it is the first act’s point of focus. The shite and jiutai sing the poetic text, set in hiranori, and are accompanied by the percussion instruments set in strict rhythm and a non-congruent nohkan’s part, which substantially raise the play's overall level of congruency.

The function of the Shite Exits dan’s is to facilitate the shite’s exit, while providing a reason for his return in Act II. It contains three shōdan. The dramatic and energic second shōdan’s that leads to the boy’s exit, but it comes only after he has promised to come back to help Munechika forge the requested sword.
The dan opens with a in prose between the shite and waki whose last line is sung rather than spoken. The return to kotoba with the percussion instruments in flexible setting, and the absence stage movement, drastically reduces the Intermedia index.
The next shōdan is the first act's third and final congruent . Its poetic text, set in hiranori, is performed by the jiutai accompanied by the percussion in strict rhythmic. The addition of a short choreography contributes to the Intermedia Index's increase.
The first act concludes with an accompanying the shite and waki’s exit, as well as the kyōgen’s entrance. It is performed by the three percussionists and the nohkan player. The rhythmic setting is flexible during the exit of the two protagonists, but becomes strict for the entrance of the kyōgen.
The or short performance between the acts, traditionally performed by a kyōgen actor, has a dual function. First, it allows time for the shite to change mask and costume to transform into the second-act character; second, it helps clarify the story. The kyōgen is usually unmasked and engaged in a discussion with the waki, but in Kokaji the kyōgen is masked, since he personifies a deity from a lower-ranked shrine. He also addresses the audience since the waki has left the stage for a change of costume.
The function of the Waki Waits dan is to restart the narrative and set the scene for the shite’s re-entrance. Kokaji’s Waki Waits dan is composed of two shōdan. It opens up with a set in sashinori, accompanied by a steady percussion beat. It is followed by a set in ōnori , accompanied by the three percussion instruments set in strict rhythm. The jiutai sings it following a one-line introduction sang by the waki.

The Shite Re-enters section includes only one shōdan, a dynamic . It continues to raise the Intermedia Index with the two-hand percussion instruments and taiko in strict rhythmic setting and the very first congruent nohkan part in the play accompanying the shite’s energetic kata, which he performs on the bridge.

The Intermedia Index climaxes in the second act Shite Performs dan. It is composed of three shōdan and its second one, the , is the highlight of the play. It is sandwiched between the play's , and congruent chants set in ōnori. Accompanied by the percussion trio set in strict rhythm, the first one also includes a non-congruent nohkan part. The jiutai who sings the first chant is joined by the shite in the second one.

The second act’s Shite Exits dan includes two shōdan. It starts with a short, spoken between the waki and shite, accompanied by the two hand-percussion instruments in flexible rhythmic setting. It substantially reduces the Intermedia Index, and serves as a respite from congruency, so that its return with the next shōdan, increases the momentum. Sung by the jiutai and shite, the last shōdan is set in chūnori with a percussion part in strict rhythm and a non-congruent nohkan part.


dataset provides a way to organize your JSON Objects on disc. It uses a technique called a pairtree. The layout managed/described by the collection.json document located in the root folder of the collection. The file pairtree supports “attachments” by creating a sub directory next the the JSON document. The sub directory uses a semver as its name, e.g. v0.0.0
. The sequence of characters will not collide with pairtree semantics and is legal on common file systems. E.g. storing the document “hello-world.json” with the attachment “smiles.png” in a collection named “C” would result in paths like
`C/pairtree/he/ll/o-/wo/rl/d/hello-world.json`
and
`C/pairtree/he/ll/o-/wo/rl/d/v0.0.0/smiles.png".
Attachments are experimental and how they are handled will may change in the future.
The directory layout looks like:
