I have long been involved in Republican politics, particularly in Larimer County, and have made regular financial contributions to the Larimer County Republican Party. I also made a contribution to Ray Martinez in his race for Fort Collins City Council. I ran for and won a single term on the Fort Collins City Council (a nonpartisan race) and recently ran for and lost a primary for Larimer County Commissioner.
(1) Liberty Common School Board member (2013-present); (2) the Advanced Care Planning Commission for Sharing the Care for Larimer County (2015-2019); (3) the Larimer County division for the Conversation Project (2015-2019); (4) 4H (1997-present) as a volunteer leader and educator; (5) Larimer Energy Action Project (LEAP) executive board member
(1) As a member of the Conversation Project and the Advanced Care Planning Commission, my role was to advocate for patients' rights and to educate patients of their rights. (2) As a member of the Larimer Energy Action Project, I was an advocate for property rights and educated homeowners regarding mineral rights issues. (3) As a Fort Collins City Councilmember, I advocated for the interests of my constituents on many issues (recreation, land use, water issues). (4) As a 4H leader, I advocate for water conservation and agriculture and girls' STEM education. (5) I am a long-time advocate for charter schools at the legislature and throughout Colorado.
As a strong backer of Amendments Y and Z, I really want to see these new commissions succeed! It would be an honor to help facilitate the development and passage of good and fair congressional maps for Colorado that promote strong, effective representation. I am committed to being fair-minded, treating fellow commissioners with respect, building consensus, and producing an excellent congressional map for Colorado. One of the reasons I enjoyed serving on the Fort Collins City Council is that it is nonpartisan, and councilmembers were unfettered by partisan loyalties. I am hopeful that the Congressional Redistricting Commission can act similarly.
While ostensibly nonpartisan, the Fort Collins City Council was evenly divided along ideological lines during my tenure, requiring a good deal of collaboration and consensus-building. This required patience and respect for process. While most people would likely be frustrated by the art of legislating, I enjoy finding common ground with others and working to build compromise and consensus.
I chose to become a trauma care nurse and to run for and serve on the Fort Collins City Council because I enjoy identifying problems, working with others, and developing solutions. While very different challenges, both nursing and municipal government force me to figure out how to move from point A to point B effectively and efficiently. Trauma care nursing often requires collaboration and work with many other medical professionals to quickly ascertain what is wrong and then put in place a plan for recovery. Likewise, on city council, I worked across the aisle to develop solutions to challenging problems, such as water management and growth.

Prior to reading the feedbacks for this assignment, my mind start getting scare of whether or not someone will say anything bad about me. This is a mental attitude of fearing criticism. And it is very dangerous and will consume your education if you give in to it.
I have seen a lot of people who gave in and choose to love themselves more than they love their education. They tends to reject all criticism down right regardless of whether or not it actually is true or whether or not it could be beneficial. And this makes communication and working with this type of people become almost impossible.
Communication Break Down
There are a number of times when I really want to suggest someone a better way to do things and what they can improve on. But when I do, it turns out to be a big mess.  And the next thing I know, I have become the bad guy.
Working with these type of people is nearly impossible. I could never know what or when to say since what I say could potentially be intepreted wrongly and I could ended up hurting them. And I have no intention of hurting. So my solution is, "Don't bother" since they are not up for it.
You are not up for DBC.
If you are here to look always "good", "perfect", "smart" and you can't accept yourself being slightly "wrong" and "stupid" then you are just not up for DBC.
Clearly, you are willing to trade your self-image at the cost of your actual growth, who are at the cost of who you could be, your reputation at the cost of your character, and your reflection of who you are at the cost of who you really are. This is not the growth mind set. It's the I-am-already-good mindset. And there is no room for growth in this kind of mindset, only denial and complacency.
Let's Grow
Again and agian, I believe we should not lose our sight of why we are at DBC. We are here to grow techinically as well as culturally. And my only suggestion is here: Stop liking yourself and start liking your education. If you really love yourself then you want criticism. If you really love yourself then instead of instantly rejecting all criticism, start listening wholeheartedly and subjective to what others have to say. If you really love yourself, then start seeing yourself subjectively for who you really are and start accepting your short-comings.  Those are what you do for yourself, in and off DBC, if you really love yourself.
Let's allow ourselves to grow :)

The CIDD display is widely used at NCAR for viewing gridded data, both in Cartesian and radial formats.
CIDD generally reads and displays gridded data from MDV files. See the TITAN documentation for more details on MDV. CIDD can read the data directly from the MDV files. However, in many situations the MDV data is served to CIDD via the DsMdvServer application.
A secondary server application, the NcMdvServer, provides an on-the-fly translation service between netCDF and MDV file formats.
The NcMdvServer has been upgraded to handle all 4 radial data types in common use at NCAR, namely:
To view these data in CIDD, it is no longer necessary to convert the data to MDV. Instead, the NcMdvServer can serve the data to CIDD on-the-fly.
You will need to ensure that both the DsMdvServer and NcMdvServer are running on the host on which the data is stored. Alternatively, if the DsServerMgr (server manager) is running, it will start up the required servers.
Back to Radial docs Back to TITAN docs
In order to view radial data directly with CIDD, you need to ensure that the directory structure and file names comply with the required naming conventions.
The directory naming rules are:
yyyymmdd
The files should either be named using the standard DORADE file naming convention, or should contain the date and time in a standard format.
The following show examples of full paths:
CfRadial files have the following naming convention:
where * refers to any character string.
*cfrad*yyyymmdd_hhmmss*.nc
For example, the file:
cfrad.20080604_002217.nc
has the following properties:
The standard DORADE naming convention is:
swp.yyymmddhhmmss.radarname.millisecs.fixedAngle_scantype_vnum
where yyy = year - 1900
For example, the file:
swp.1080604001951.SPOL.238.4.7_SUR_v036
has the following properties:
The scan strategy can take the following values:
Universal Format files should have the following naming convention:
where * refers to any character string.
*yyyymmdd_hhmmss*.uf
For example, the file:
spol_20080604_002217_v064.uf
has the following properties:
The standard FORAY netCDF naming convention is:
ncswp_radar_yyymmdd_hhmmss.msecs_vnum_snum_fixedAngle_scan_.nc
For example, the file:
ncswp_SPOL_20080605_235100.123_v054_s007_009.1_SUR_.nc
has the following properties:
The scan strategy can take the following values:

Reward for as if prayed the whole night
Because we are Muslims, we must offer prayers. How easy could it be to regularly pray the whole night, given the fact that we tend to occupy ourselves with worldly things and activities? Especially during weekends (eg. starting from Friday night), we can't miss this opprtunity which is easy to act upon, yet reward is immense.

STRAIGHT OUT OF BROOKLYN (director/writer: Matty Rich; cinematographer: John Rosnell; editor: Jack Haigis; cast: George T. Odom (Ray Brown), Ann D. Sanders (Frankie Brown), Matty Rich (Larry), Larry Gilliard Jr. (Dennis Brown), Barbara Sanon (Carolyn Brown), Reana E. Drummond (Shirley), Mark Malone (Kevin); Runtime: 83; Samuel Goldwyn Co.; 1991)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
A gritty, realistic look at life in the black ghetto. It was shot by 19-year-old Matty Rich, who never went to film school. He financed the film on his own, and took about 2 years, starting at age 17, in filming it in his neighborhood. He brings with him his heartfelt experiences growing up in the Red Hook housing projects of Brooklyn, as the intense film is an honest effort to look into the psyches of those living there. The film is flawed by the obviousness of the situation it shows, yet despite these flaws there is a power in seeing how real these people are. There was no new ground broken, but it did hit a nerve as to what life in a housing project looks like.
There's not much of a story, as it follows for a few days the adventures of a high school kid, Dennis Brown (Gilliard Jr.), who lives in the project with his teenage sister Carolyn (Sanon) and his working mother Frankie (Sanders) and gas station attendant father Ray (Odom).
The film has a powerful opening, which sets the stage for its tragic tale. Dennis and Carolyn share the same sleeping room and are awakened by their drunken father beating his wife for no reason, and who in his anger breaks many household objects by throwing them around the room. The father goes on a drunken rant of how the white man ruined him. He confronts the cowering Dennis by telling him, "Do you know what it is to be black?"
Dennis' dream is to get out of the ghetto anyway he could, and to do that he feels pressured to get some fast money. He talks with his two friends, who aimlessly loaf around the projects, Kevin (Malone) and Larry Love (Rich-the director), and suggests they pull a robbery of a local drug lord by getting a gun and a car. Larry suggests they get jobs in his uncle's gas station, which is sneered at by the angry Dennis.
Shirley (Drummond) is Dennis's sweet girlfriend, who works as a waitress and suggests that Dennis should use his smarts to go to college. But he says that he doesn't have four or five years to spend in college. Looking out to the Manhattan skyline, he tells her those rich corporation people got there by breaking the rules. She tells him that she won't have anything to do with him if he goes about getting his dream the wrong way.
Dennis feels trapped by his circumstances and can't respond in the right way to solve his problem.  The men are confused and filled with anger and violence, wanting the American Dream but distorting it by saying it can only be gotten by illegal means. There seemed to be little choice for the troubled teens, as they are stymied by living in poverty and in dysfunctional homes. They narrow the choices down to either being criminals and possibly getting rich, or of being stuck in the ghetto the rest of their lives as working stiffs.
The film works because it had an honest energy to it, though when it tries to say something meaningful it feels like so much jive. The triteness and predictability of the story prevents the film from traveling too far from the reality of the housing projects the filmmaker knows. The film can't penetrate any further than some surface responses. It's a cautionary inner-city film that should well serve the youthful urban audience that will be most attracted to its story and should relate to them better than it would to a wide audience.

*Children must be 15 months by September 1st
**Children must be 2 years old by September 1st
Parents attend class with their child one day per week, allowing them to learn alongside their children. Children experience a safe and supportive environment where they can develop a sense of trust with teachers (and other adults) and interact with other children.
Outdoors, a large yard allows children to move freely and participate in a wide variety of experiences which help them develop their gross motor skills. The outdoor environment also allows for many different tactile experiences: sandbox play and sensory table activities along with a variety of open-ended art experiences encourage creativity, fine motor development, and sensory exploration.
Indoors, there are a variety of manipulatives, such as puzzles and blocks, which allow children to develop their fine motor and cognitive skills, and a quiet area where children can explore books. A play kitchen encourages role playing and imaginative play. Stories, songs, finger-plays and movement are introduced, especially at circle time.
The toddler program is designed specifically for the developmental level of toddlers, and allows parents the opportunity to share in their child’s first school experience in a safe, supportive, interactive, and engaging manner. Emotionally, toddlers are trying out new ideas and exploring their surroundings while staying close to their parent as a base of support and trust. Socially, toddlers are interested in other children, yet engage mostly in parallel play with their classmates. They come together at circle time and snack/story time as they begin to learn how to be part of a group. Parent education is integrated each week through readings, observations, lectures, and discussions.
The twos program encourages children to develop social relationships while moving away from parallel play and into the stage of associative play. Two-year-olds have the opportunity to play, share, and interact with children the same age. They are also given the opportunity to interact with the teacher and other parents, and learn to successfully separate from their parents in a safe and nurturing environment. Part of each class is devoted to parent education, which gives each parent and child the opportunity to successfully separate.


Well it all started at the end of June in 2002.
I had had a really bad stomach ache for about 3 days and decided I should go to the Hospital. Well, I found out that my intestinal tract had telescoped into itself causing the circulation to be cut of which also caused my appendix to become inflamed.
So I had surgery to correct the problem. While in the Hospital they had me on Demerol, Darvocette, and Vicodin. Well, after 2 months of nonstop Pain Medications, I had developed a serious tolerance and addiction.
I convinced my Doctor to Start prescribing me Percodan (Oxycodone & Aspirin).
He would give me 90 tablets every 2 weeks. Eventually I got to the point where I was using Cold Water Extractions on 6 Percodan pills at a time to get High. I wasn't in any pain....But I had convinced my doctor that I was.
Well after 3 Months of Non-Stop Percodan (not including the many Hundreds of Vicodin I received from Emergency Room Doctor Shopping, I realized I had a problem. I had become very violent with my Husband, and all but ignored my friends and family.
So I made another Doctors appointment so I could discuss the issue with him. This is how the conversation that Day went:
Doctor: 'How is Your Pain? Is it any better?'
Me: 'Well, I am seriously thinking about going to a Methadone Clinic...'
Doctor (Interrupting Me): 'Well We have Methadone Here, I can write you a prescription for it! Is there anything else you need?'
Me: 'No...I think that covers it.'
My Doctor didn't take the time to Realize that I was wanting help...
I guess it is my Fault...
So ANyways, He prescribed me a bottle of 120 Methadone 25mg Tablets.
I had never taken Methadone before nor had I ever met anybody else who had, so I was unaware of the potential dangers of it.
I thought I had hit the motherload!
Well, My Husband tried to regulate it by giving me one every 6 hours, but that soon pissed me off because I wasn't getting the rush that I usually got when taking Percodan or Vicodin.
I finally fought with my Husband long enough to get him to give me my bottle of pills. Over a six hour period one night, I took 13 of the tablets. A couple hours later, I got really tired, so I kissed my hubby goodnight and climbed into bed.
The next thing I know, I wake up on a stretcher carrying me down the steps soaked in my own urine. I Looked around and saw my husband standing on the porch as they were carrying me to the ambulance. He had this look of absolute horror on his face.
After getting me in the Ambulance, the Paramedics started talking while giving me Oxygen. One of them said 'Another 4 maybe 5 minutes, and he would have been Gone.'
The other one said 'What did you give him?'
'Narcan', Replied the other Paramedic.
The Large Dosage of Methadone had depressed my breathing so much that I stopped breathing.
Its Weird...Because I never saw any 'light' or anything...It was all just like a bad dream.
Anyway, that's what happened.

Harry Wilson wows as Wales boost Euro 2020 hopes
by ReutersA goal and assist from Harry Wilson ensured Wales kept alive their hopes of automatic Euro 2020 qualification with a straightforward 2-0 win over Azerbaijan in Group E on Saturday.
The on-loan Liverpool forward set up Kieffer Moore's headed opener in Baku with a 10th-minute corner to the far post and then headed home himself from close range on 34 minutes after Daniel James's spectacular shot rebounded off the crossbar and upright. Wales also had a second-half effort from Tom Lockyer disallowed as they secured their first away win in more than a year. The victory moved Ryan Giggs' side, who are already guaranteed a playoff place, up to third in the group, one point ahead of Slovakia.
Wales will qualify automatically if they beat second-placed Hungary in Cardiff in their final game and Slovakia drop points against Croatia later on Saturday or against Azerbaijan on Tuesday.

Executive summary of changes from v1 to v2
This document summarizes the major changes from v1 to v2 of the universal guidelines. The primary purpose is to provide a checklist for treebank developers who want to start the transition from v1 to v2. More background and discussion can be found in the thematic reports on v2, which we cross-reference below. Complete documentation of the new guidelines will follow as quickly as possible.
Word segmentation
The ban on spaces inside words in v1 is lifted in v2 in two circumstances:
- For languages with writing systems that use spaces to mark units smaller than word (typically syllables), spaces are allowed in any word provided that this is declared in the language-specific documentation.
- For other languages, spaces are allowed only for an approved and restricted list of exceptions like numbers (“100 000”) and abbrevations (“i. e.”) that have to be listed explicitly in the language-specific documentation.
More discussion can be found in the section on word segmentation.
Part-of-speech tags
The universal tagset from v1 is basically kept intact in v2 with two minor revisions:
- The tag
CONJ
is renamedCCONJ
to make it parallel toSCONJ
(and more similar to the syntactic relationcc
and less similar toconj
). - The guidelines for tags are modified in three cases:
- The use of
AUX
is extended from auxiliary verbs in a narrow sense to also include copula verbs and nonverbal TAME particles (tense, aspect, mood, evidentiality, and, sometimes, voice or polarity particles). - The use of
PART
is restricted to a small set of words that must be listed in the language-specific documentation. - The borderline between
PRON
andDET
is made more flexible to accommodate cross-linguistic variation.
- The use of
More discussion can be found in the section on part-of-speech tags
Morphological features
The set of universal features is updated from v1 to v2 in the following ways:
- Existing features and feature values are renamed:
Negative
→Polarity
Aspect=Pro
→Aspect=Prosp
VerbForm=Trans
→VerbForm=Conv
Definite=Red
→Definite=Cons
- New features are added (or promoted to universal features):
Evident
(evidentiality) with valueNfh
(non-first hand)Polite
(politeness) with valuesInfm
(informal),Form
(formal),Elev
(elevated status of referent; subtype ofForm
),Humb
(humbled status of speaker; subtype ofForm
)Abbr
(abbreviation) with valueYes
Foreign
with valueYes
- New values are added (or promoted) to existing features:
Animacy=Hum
(human)Case=Equ
(equative) andCase=Cmp
(comparative)Degree=Equ
(equative)Definite=Spec
(specific indefinite)Number=Count
(counting form or count plural),Number=Tri
(trial),Number=Pauc
(paucal),Number=Grpa
(greater paucal),Number=Grpl
(greater plural),Number=Inv
(inverse number)VerbForm=Gdv
(gerundive, not gerund),VerbForm=Vnoun
(verbal nouns other than infinitives)Mood=Prp
(purposive),Mood=Adm
(admirative)Aspect=Iter
(iterative),Aspect=Hab
(habitual)Voice=Mid
(middle voice),Voice=Antip
(antipassive),Voice=Dir
(direct),Voice=Inv
(inverse)PronType=Emp
(emphatic),PronType=Exc
(exclamative)Person=0
,Person=4
- Unused or poorly defined values are removed from existing features:
Tense=Nar
(narrative)NumType=Gen
(generic)
Revisions to the feature system have whenever possible been made to improve clarity and consistency with other systems such as UniMorph. More discussion can be found in the section on features.
Syntactic relations
Although most syntactic relations are the same in v2 as in v1, the guidelines have often been improved by providing more explicit criteria and examples from multiple languages. In this summary, we only list cases where relations have been removed, added or renamed, or where the use of an existing relation has changed significantly.
Clauses and dependents of predicates
- The
dobj
relation is renamedobj
because this seems to be more easily reconcilable with the intended interpretation of “second core argument” or “P/A argument” (without connection to specific cases or semantic roles). - The
nsubjpass
,csubjpass
andauxpass
relations are removed. The use of subtypesnsubj:pass
,csubj:pass
andaux:pass
is strongly encouraged for languages where these distinctions are relevant. - The
nmod
relation, which in v1 was used for nominals modifying either predicates or other nominals, is in v2 restricted to modifying nominals. A new relationobl
(oblique) is introduced for oblique dependents of predicates. - The
cop
relation is restricted to function words (verbal or nonverbal) whose sole function is to link a nonverbal predicate to its subject and which does not add any meaning other than grammaticalized TAME categories. The range of constructions that are analyzed using thecop
relation is subject to language-specific variation but can be identified using universal guidelines.
More discussion about 1-3 and 4 can be found in the sections on core-dependents and copula and nonverbal predicates, respectively.
Coordination and ellipsis
- Coordinating conjunctions (
cc
) and punctuation (punct
) inside coordinated structures are in v2 attached to the immediately succeeding conjunct (instead of the first conjunct as in v1). - The
remnant
relation used to analyze ellipsis in v1 is removed. A new relationorphan
is introduced in order to analyze ellipsis in a way that preserves the integrity of clauses and minimizes the use of special relations.
More discussion about 1 and 2 can be found in the sections on coordination and ellipsis, respectively.
Functional relations
- A new relation
clf
(classifier) is added for nominal classifiers. - The
aux
relation is extended from auxiliary verbs in a narrow sense to also include nonverbal TAME particles (in analogy with the extended use of the part-of-speech tagAUX
). - The
auxpass
relation is removed from the set of universal relations (see above). - The
cop
relation is restricted to pure linking words (see above). - The
neg
relation is removed from the set of universal relations, and polarity is instead encoded in a feature.
More discussion about 1-4 and 5 can be found in the sections on functional relations and semantic categories, respectively.
Multiword expressions
- The
mwe
relation is renamedfixed
to make clear that it is only to be used for fixed grammaticized expressions that behave like function words or short adverbials. - The
name
relation is removed because it has been misinterpreted as applying to all names. - The
foreign
relation is removed because it has been judged superfluous. - A new relation
flat
is added for semi-fixed multiword expressions for which there is no clear evidence that one of the components is the linguistic head. This covers the originally intended uses of thename
andforeign
relations but also other cases like title-name combinations and date expressions that do not have a clear endocentric syntactic structure. Subtypes likeflat:name
andflat:foreign
can be used to preserve information in existing treebanks. - The
compound
relation is extended to cover all types of complex predicates including not only particle verbs (compound:prt
) but also serial verbs (compound:svc
).
More discussion can be found in the sections on multiword expressions and semantic categories.
The CoNLL-U format
The following changes in the CoNLL-U format are adopted for v2:
- Spaces are allowed in the FORM and LEMMA fields (see above).
- Rows corresponding to empty nodes, with an indexing scheme distinct from both tokens and words, are allowed for the representation of ellipsis in the enhanced dependencies.
- The DEPS field should contain the entire enhanced dependency graph (not only additional relations on top of the basic trees).
- Sentence-level metadata are standardized using the comment prefixes
sent_id
andtext
, of which the former is now obligatory in all treebanks. - The use of the MISC field is restricted for ease of processing by requiring that it can be split on the
|
(bar) character without any complex processing of escaping.
More discussion can be found in the section on the CoNLL-U format


Music Object Extension - Snapshots
|
|
The Snapshots extension provides methods for easily capturing and restoring mix snapshots for RMF and MIDI files that are playing - something that can prove quite useful when creating certain kinds of remixing applications.
|
What's New in the Latest Version
|
There is a dedicated version history for this extension, where you will be able to find out about the new features and possible issues with the most recent version. The version history for this extension is independent of the version history for the core Music Object API.
To get the "music-object-x-snapshots.js" JavaScript file that implements this extension, simply right-click on this link (click-and-hold for Mac users). Then, from the menu that pops up, select the 'Save Link As...' or 'Save Target As...' option and save the file as "music-object-x-snapshots.js" into an appropriate folder of the local copy of your Web site.
In case you have problems saving the file using the above link, the "music-object-x-snapshots.js" file can also be found inside the documentation's "javascript" folder, along with the "music-object.js" file.
In order to use this extension, the following JavaScript file(s) must first be sourced in...
- music-object.js (version 3.3.0 or higher)
For more information on using extensions, consult the section About Music Object Extensions.
| Name |
Short Description |
| Instance Methods |
| captureSnapshot |
Lets you capture a snapshot of the current playback state for an RMF or MIDI file. |
| getSnapshotFilter |
Returns a string value, representing the current filter settings being used for the specified snapshot. |
| isSnapshotDefined |
Returns a boolean value, indicating whether or not there exists a snapshot by the specified name. |
| recallSnapshot |
Lets you recall the specified snapshot, so that the Music Object instance is restored to the playback state captured by that snapshot. |
| removeSnapshot |
Lets you remove (clear) the snapshot of the specified name. |
| resetSnapshotFilter |
Lets you reset the filter settings for the specified snapshot, so that either all or none of the filter options are enabled. |
| setSnapshotFilter |
Lets you set the filter settings for the specified snapshot. |
| Static Properties |
| Music.defaultSnapshotFilter |
A string variable, specifying the default value that should be used for the SnapshotFilterSTR parameter, if this parameter is not specified when using the captureSnapshot and setSnapshotFilter instance methods. |
| Common Parameters |
| SnapshotFilterSTR |
A string, specifying the enabled state for the various available snapshot filter options. |
|
|
The captureSnapshot instance method lets you capture a snapshot of the current playback state for an RMF or MIDI file.
- When a value of null is specified for the SnapshotFilterSTR parameter and the snapshot is being created for the first time, then the value of the Music.defaultSnapshotFilter static property is used for this parameter. If a snapshot already exists with the name specified by the SnapshotNameSTR parameter and the value null is specified for the SnapshotFilterSTR parameter, then the snapshot's current filter settings will not be changed.
- captureSnapshot ( SnapshotNameSTR )
When no SnapshotFilterSTR parameter is specified and the snapshot is being created for the first time, then the value of the Music.defaultSnapshotFilter static property is used for this parameter. If a snapshot already exists with the name specified by the SnapshotNameSTR parameter and no SnapshotFilterSTR parameter is specified, then the snapshot's current filter settings will not be changed.
The getSnapshotFilter instance method returns a string value, representing the current filter settings being used for the specified snapshot.
| |
getSnapshotFilter ( SnapshotNameSTR ) |
Filter settings can be easily copied from one snapshot to another using a combination of the getSnapshotFilter and setSnapshotFilter methods, as in the example...
myMusicObject.setSnapshotFilter (
'My Snapshot 2',
myMusicObject.getSnapshotFilter ('My Snapshot 1')
);
|
In this example, we are calling the setSnapshotFilter method in order to set the filter for the snapshot named "My Snapshot 2". For the SnapshotFilterSTR parameter of the setSnapshotFilter method we are passing the result of the expression myMusicObject.getSnapshotFilter ('My Snapshot 1'), which retrieves the filter from the snapshot named "My Snapshot 1". This has the effect of copying the filter for the snapshot "My Snapshot 1" to the snapshot "My Snapshot 2".
- When no snapshot exists with the name specified by the SnapshotNameSTR parameter, then this method will return an empty string.
- The filter settings for a snapshot can be set using the setSnapshotFilter instance method.
The isSnapshotDefined instance method returns a boolean value, indicating whether or not there exists a snapshot by the specified name.
| |
isSnapshotDefined ( SnapshotNameSTR ) |
| |
boolean |
The recallSnapshot instance method lets you recall the specified snapshot, so that the Music Object instance is restored to the playback state captured by that snapshot.
- When a value of null is specified for the SnapshotFilterSTR parameter, then the snapshot's current filter settings are used.
The removeSnapshot instance method lets you remove (clear) the snapshot of the specified name.
| |
removeSnapshot ( SnapshotNameSTR ) |
Once a snapshot has been removed using this method, any attempt to recall it using the recallSnapshot instance method will fail and will simply be ignored.
The resetSnapshotFilter instance method lets you reset the filter settings for the specified snapshot, so that either all or none of the filter options are enabled.
| |
resetSnapshotFilter ( SnapshotNameSTR , ResetStateSTR ) |
When a string value of "ON", "1", or "TRUE" is specified for the ResetStateSTR parameter, then the filter will be reset so that all filter options are enabled. And when a string value of "OFF", "0", or "FALSE" is specified for the ResetStateSTR parameter, then the filter will be reset so that all filter options are disabled.
The setSnapshotFilter instance method lets you set the filter settings for the specified snapshot
- When a value of null is specified for the SnapshotFilterSTR parameter, then the value of the Music.defaultSnapshotFilter static property is used for this parameter.
- The filter settings for a snapshot can be queried using the getSnapshotFilter instance method.
The Music.defaultSnapshotFilter static property is a string variable, specifying the default value that should be used for the SnapshotFilterSTR parameter, if this parameter is not specified when using the captureSnapshot and setSnapshotFilter instance methods.
The default value for the Music.defaultSnapshotFilter property is "CHANNELMUTE=ON CHANNELSOLO=ON CHANNELMODULATION=ON CHANNELVOLUME=ON CHANNELPAN=ON CHANNELEXPRESSION=ON CHANNELSUSTAIN=ON CHANNELREVERBTYPE=ON CHANNELREVERBLEVEL=ON CHANNELCHORUSLEVEL=ON POSITION=ON TEMPO=ON TRANSPOSE=ON VOLUME=ON".

|
The SnapshotFilterSTR parameter is a string, specifying the enabled state for the various available snapshot filter options.
The syntax of the SnapshotFilterSTR parameter is much like that of the EmbedLineSTR parameter that is used by the various embedding methods of the Music Object API, and consists of a series of name/value pairs seperated by whitespace. Each name/value pair has the syntax...
FilterOptionName=[ON|1|TRUE|OFF|0|FALSE]
The values "ON", "1", and "TRUE" all have the same meaning and indicate that the filter option will be enabled. Similarly, the values "OFF", "0", and "FALSE" all have the same meaning and indicate that the filter option will be disabled.
So, for example, the value "CHANNELPAN=ON TEMPO=OFF POSITION=FALSE TRANSPOSE=1" for the SnapshotFilterSTR parameter specifies that the filter options for channel pan and transposition are enabled, whereas the filter options for tempo and position are disabled.
For the SnapshotFilterSTR parameter, the following filter option names can be specified...
- CHANNELMUTE
lets you enable or disable the recall of channel mute settings.
- CHANNELSOLO
lets you enable or disable the recall of channel solo settings.
- CHANNELMODULATION
lets you enable or disable the recall of channel modulation settings (MIDI controller 1).
- CHANNELVOLUME
lets you enable or disable the recall of channel volume settings (MIDI controller 7).
- CHANNELPAN
lets you enable or disable the recall of channel pan settings (MIDI controller 10).
- CHANNELEXPRESSION
lets you enable or disable the recall of channel expression settings (MIDI controller 11).
- CHANNELSUSTAIN
lets you enable or disable the recall of channel sustain pedal settings (MIDI controller 64).
- CHANNELREVERBTYPE
lets you enable or disable the recall of channel reverb type settings (MIDI controller 90).
- CHANNELREVERBLEVEL
lets you enable or disable the recall of channel reverb level settings (MIDI controller 91).
- CHANNELCHORUSLEVEL
lets you enable or disable the recall of channel chorus level settings (MIDI controller 93).
- POSITION
lets you enable or disable the recall of song position.
- TEMPO
lets you enable or disable the recall of playback tempo.
- TRANSPOSE
lets you enable or disable the recall of pitch transposition.
- VOLUME
lets you enable or disable the recall of volume level.


string http_negotiate_charset ( array $supported [, array &$result ] )
This function negotiates the clients preferred charset based on its Accept-Charset HTTP header. The qualifier is recognized and charsets without qualifier are rated highest.
Returns the negotiated charset or the default charset (i.e. first array entry) if none match.

Payment card reader made from recycled ocean plastics launched
iZettle has unveiled its Ocean Reader, made from fishing nets and rope collected from the North and Baltic seas.
A card reader for small businesses made from recycled ocean plastic has been unveiled by financial technology firm iZettle.
The PayPal-owned company has launched the Ocean Reader, which it says is 75% made from old fishing nets and ropes collected from the North and Baltic Seas.
iZettle said the project has already seen the firm remove more than a tonne of plastic from the ocean and is part of a wider plan to provide products made from sustainable materials.
The Swedish company has also said it will donate 20% of the sale of each card reader – which will cost £98 – to organisations working to remove plastics from the oceans.
Jacob de Geer, iZettle’s co-founder, said: “Every day small businesses set out to make smart decisions, not just for their bottom line but for the planet too.
“iZettle’s mission is to help them succeed and, when it comes to things like sustainability, we have a responsibility to do all we can.
“I’m proud that iZettle is launching the world’s first card reader made of recycled ocean plastics but, at the same time, it’s a failure of the entire industry that this is only happening now, in 2019. We all have to do better.”
The new device has been certified by Oceanworks, a global marketplace for recycled ocean plastics and products. Its chief executive, Rob Ianelli, said he hoped iZettle’s decision would prompt others to follow suit.
“Oceanworks is very proud of the launch of the iZettle Ocean Reader as we share many core values with the company,” he said.
“iZettle’s innovative approach to ‘payments with purpose’ will catalyse a powerful wave of change in many industries.”

TOSHSET(1) User-installed Software TOSHSET(1) NAME toshset - manipulate bios and hardware settings of Toshiba laptops SYNOPSIS toshset [TOGGLEOPTIONS | QUERYOPTIONS | FEATUREOPTIONS]... DESCRIPTION Toshset ia a command-line tool to allow access to much of the Toshiba hardware interface developed by Jonathan Buzzard. It can do things like set the hard drive spin-down time, turn off the display and set the fan speed. Credit for the difficult task of reverse-engineering the Toshiba hardware interface goes to Jonathan Buzzard. A link for Jonathan's tools is http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba/ All options are listed by running toshset with no arguments. If an argument option is specified as the ``-'' character, stdin is read for that option. This is particularly convenient when setting the owner string. The method used for access to the laptop hardware is given by the the HCI/SCI access mode query field. This should be kernel or direct. The kernel method requires kernel support and it is the only access method supported for ACPI kernels. If ACPI is not used this package does not require a special kernel module. Also, it is highly likely that this tool will work under different flavors of *NIX. As a result of this design consideration, and because of my own desire that not every user be able to change my laptop's hardware settings, the user must have read/write permission to /dev/toshiba in order for this program to run properly. Toggle Options: -l toggle long query in which the assocated command-line option is printed with each queried feature. -fast run in fast mode: a startup check is skipped, and values are not queried after the are set. On machines for which ioctl is slow, this can speed toshset up by up to a factor of 2/5. -v toggle verbose mode in which normally silent messages are printed. Query Options: -q [glob] query features specified by glob (all features if glob omitted). The glob string is sandwiched between asterisks, so specifying -q bat will query all features whose names contain the ``bat'' sub‐ string. If no glob is given, then all features are queried. Feature Options: Valid settings for features can be listed by omitting the argument. The current list of feature options is -b <off|on> enable/disable system beep -lcd <setting> set lcd brightness. -inten <setting> set lcd brightness. Not all models support both -lcd and -inten. -pow <setting> set power-up mode -vol <0-4> set beep volume. Note that this controls the modem volume for my PCMCIA modem. -hdd <num> number of minutes until disk spindown -dstretch <off|on> enable/disable display stretch -d <num> number of minutes until display auto-off -c <method> set cooling method -bs <setting> set battery-save mode -bl <off|on> control lcd backlight -bluetooth <off|on> power-up + attach internal bluetooth device, or shutdown. -fan <setting> control fan -video <int|ext|both|tv|mode5|mode6|mode7> set display device for video: internal lcd, external monitor, or tv-out -cpu <slow|fast> set CPU speed -cpucache <off|on> enable/disable CPU cache -sleep <off|on> enable/disable CPU sleep mode -balarm <off|on> enable/disable battery alarm -palarm <off|on> enable/disable lid-closed alarm -walarm <dis|HH:MM[/everyday|DD/MM[/YYYY]]> set time/date to wake -ppower <off|on> enable/disable annoying feature of powering-off computer when lid is closed. -parallel <mode> set parallel port mode -autooff <num> number of minutes of idle time until system auto-off -ostring <owner string> set owner string. This string is displayed at boot or resume time, if a user or supervisor password is set. -upasswd set or clear the user password. Toshset must be run on the console for this to work. The password should be entered when the prompt is displayed. If the password is currently set, entering it will clear the password. -spasswd set the supervisor password. See the docs for -upasswd. -usblegacy USB legacy mode: enable/disable using an USB mouse as it would be a PS/2 one, without the need to install a USB driver. -3g power-up + attach internal 3g modem device, or shutdown. -usbfdd USB FDD emulation mode: is almost the same of the previous one for a floppy. It enables the use of an USB floppy as it would be attached to an internal FD controller (for booting etc.) -lan Enables/disables internal LAN controller. -soundlogo enable/disable startup sound logo. -startlogo startup logo mode (picture or animation>. -trmode enable/disable the display's transreflective mode. Features may also be set by specifying the (zero-offset) index of the option. e.g. toshset -cpu 0 sets the cpu speed to slow. BUGS Many features are locked and can not be changed when the battery save mode is not ``user.'' Since I only have one laptop, I can't test this utility on other hardware. User feedback in this regard is helpful. Some features do not work on my laptop and they may work on your's, and visa- versa. Toshset requires an experimental version of the toshiba_acpi kernel mod‐ ule with an ACPI-enabled kernel.

Most people with coronavirus (COVID-19) feel better within a few weeks. You may be able to look after yourself at home while you recover.
While you're ill, ask a friend, family member or neighbour to check up on you. Arrange a regular call or talk though a doorway (not face to face) so they can check how you're doing.
Treating a high temperature
If you have a high temperature, it can help to:
- get lots of rest
- drink plenty of fluids (water is best) to avoid dehydration - drink enough so your pee is light yellow and clear
- take paracetamol or ibuprofen if you feel uncomfortable
Is it safe to take ibuprofen if I have symptoms of coronavirus?
There have been some news reports of anti-inflammatory painkillers, such as ibuprofen, making coronavirus worse.
The Commission on Human Medicines has now confirmed there is no clear evidence that using ibuprofen to treat symptoms such as a high temperature makes coronavirus worse.
You can take paracetamol or ibuprofen to treat symptoms of coronavirus. Try paracetamol first if you can, as it has fewer side effects than ibuprofen and is the safer choice for most people.
Always follow the instructions that come with your medicine.
Treating a cough
If you have a cough, it's best to avoid lying on your back. Lie on your side or sit upright instead.
To help ease a cough, try having a teaspoon of honey. But do not give honey to babies under 12 months.
If this does not help, you could contact a pharmacist for advice about cough treatments.
Do not go to a pharmacy
If you or someone you live with has coronavirus symptoms, you must all stay at home.
Try calling or contacting the pharmacy online instead.
Get help while you're staying at home
NHS Volunteer Responders can help you while you have to stay at home (Self-isolate).
They can help with things like collecting shopping and medicines.
Call 0808 196 3646 (8am to 8pm, everyday) to arrange help from a volunteer.
Things to try if you're feeling breathless
If you're feeling breathless, it can help to keep your room cool.
Try turning the heating down or opening a window. Do not use a fan as it may spread the virus.
 This can make it worse.
Video: tips for breathlessness
Find out how you can help relieve breathlessness.
Media review due: 2 June 2023
Urgent advice: Get advice from NHS 111 or a GP if:
- you're feeling gradually more unwell or more breathless
- you have difficulty breathing when you stand up or move around
- you feel very weak, achy or tired
- you're shaking or shivering
- you've lost your appetite
- you're unable to care for yourself - for example, tasks like washing and dressing or making food are too difficult
- you still feel unwell after 4 weeks - this may be long COVID
Go to 111.nhs.uk, call 111 or call your GP surgery.
Immediate action required: Go to A&E immediately or call 999 if:
- you're so breathless that you're unable to say short sentences when resting
- your breathing has got suddenly worse
- you cough up blood
- you feel cold and sweaty, with pale or blotchy skin
- you have a rash that looks like small bruises or bleeding under the skin and does not fade when you roll a glass over it
- you collapse or faint
- you feel agitated, confused or very drowsy
- you've stopped peeing or are peeing much less than usual
Babies and children
Call 111 if you're worried about a baby or child.
If they seem very unwell, are getting worse, or you think there's something seriously wrong, call 999.
Do not delay getting help if you're worried. Trust your instincts.
Get more advice about coronavirus in children.
If you have a pulse oximeter
A pulse oximeter is a device that clips on your finger to check the level of oxygen in your blood. If you have a pulse oximeter at home, you can use it to help monitor your condition.
Low levels of oxygen in your blood can be a sign you're getting worse.
A pulse oximeter can help you spot this before you feel breathless or have any other symptoms, so you can get help before it becomes more serious.
Watch an NHS YouTube video about how to use a pulse oximeter
When to get medical help
| Blood oxygen level | What to do |
|---|---|
| 95 to 100 | Stay at home and continue to check your blood oxygen level regularly |
| 93 or 94 | Check your blood oxygen level again within an hour - if it's still 93 or 94, call 111 or your GP surgery for advice |
| 92 or below | Check your blood oxygen level again straight away - if it's still 92 or below, go to A&E immediately or call 999 |
If your blood oxygen level is usually below 95 but it drops below your normal level, call 111 or your GP surgery for advice.
If you need to call for help, tell the person you speak to what your blood oxygen level is.


Shall I introduce myself? My name is Axel Dries, I am a student at the Immaculate institute of Oostmalle. I am a diehard gamer, that's just who I am. I play League of Legends the most but I wouldn't call myself the best at it, still trying to climb in the ranking system…. I am also very interested in the hardware of a pc. That's also why I have built many pcs in my life.
IT has always been in my life.  IT was so simple at the time and so incredibly easily made, like a game I played on the PlayStation 1. It was called Odd World. I sank so many hours into that game and I never knew what I was doing. But still I loved it. And that were my few first experiences.
To me IT is everything that has to do with a pc and things you have to program, from gaming to web design.  I usually sit four to six hours a day at my pc. Most of the time is spent on gaming. I try to climb in League Of Legends but it's not as easy as I thought it was.  I did make a little game with my friends in class last year. But that's wasn't so fascinating. It was fun nonetheless. But I am surely not an expert at something. I'm more of an amateur at a lot of different things.
What I want to do later with IT? Well that’s a good question. I adore doing things with the hardware of a pc. Building it, fixing it, just having fun with it. But the software side of pcs still interests me. The fact that I can develop things that can help me in common life, that’s the thing that I like about IT. But I don’t have a specific goal set that I want to reach with IT, like what kind of job.
To conclude I love doing things with pcs and gaming consoles.  I couldn’t live without it. It lets me escape from the real world. And it brings me together with my old friends. And I see a future with a lot of gaming before me. I surely don’t dislike that.

RVS_PersistentPrefs
open class RVS_PersistentPrefs : NSObject
This class is meant to act as an “abstract” base class, providing a simple Dictionary
datastore that is stored in the UserDefaults
in the Application Bundle. It is designed to be reliable, and extremely simple to use.
The stored Dictionary
would be a String-keyed Dictionary of Any
(flexible types). It s up to subclasses to specialize the typeless data.
THIS IS NOT EFFICIENT OR ROBUST!
It is meant as a simple “bucket” for things like application preferences. It is not an industrial data storage solution. You have been warned.
Subclasses could declare their accessors as KVO
-style, thus, providing a direct way to influence persistent state.
You can also directly observe the .values property. It will change when ANY pref is changed (so might not be suitable for “pick and choose” observation).
-
This is the Dictionary. It’s private, and shouldn’t need to be accessed outside this base class.
Declaration
Swift
private var _values: [String : Any]
-
This is a private method that saves the current contents of the _values Dictionary to persistent storage, keyed by the value of the “key” property.
Throws
An error, if the values are not all codable.Declaration
Swift
private func _save() throws
-
This is a private method that reads in the data from persistent storage for this instance (using the “key” property), and loads the _values Dictionary property.
Throws
An error, if there were no stored prefs for the given key.Declaration
Swift
private func _load() throws
-
Errors that Can be thrown from methods in this class
See moreDeclaration
Swift
public enum PrefsError : Error
-
This is the key that is used to store and fetch the collection of data to be used to populate the _values Dictionary.
Declaration
Swift
open var key: String
-
This is any error that was thrown during a save or a load.
Declaration
Swift
public var lastError: PrefsError!
-
The number of stored values.
Declaration
Swift
public var count: Int { get }
-
This calculated property MUST be overridden by subclasses. It is an Array of String, containing the keys used to store and retrieve the values from persistent storage.
Declaration
Swift
open var keys: [String] { get }
-
This is an accessor for the _values Dictionary. Before it returns the Dictionary, it loads data from persistent storage. After it sets the Dictionary, it saves the resulting Dictionary to persistent storage. This is meant to make persistent storage completely transparent. You simply read and write the Dictionary, using these accessors. The saving and retrieving happens in the background.
Declaration
Swift
@objc dynamic public var values: [String : Any] { get set }
-
This is a direct-access subscript that allows you to use the prefs object to reach its stored properties.
Declaration
Swift
public subscript(inKey: String) -> Any? { get set }
-
The default initializer uses the current subclass typename as the main key.
Declaration
Swift
public override init()
-
You can initialize instances with a key and some initial data values.
Parameters
key
Optional (default is nil). A String, with a key to be used to associate the persistent state of this object to storage in the bundle. If not provided, the subclass classname is used as the key.
values
Optional (default is nil). A Dictionary
, with the values to be stored. If not provided, then the instance is populated by any persistent prefs. If provided, then the persistent prefs are updated with the new values.
-
This clears the values, and deletes the pref from the UserDefaults.
Declaration
Swift
public func clear()


OERu Open Tech Toolset
Open Source Technologist, OER Foundation
OERu 16.10 Meeting
University of the Highlands and Islands
Inverness, Scotland - 3-5 October 2016
Hello everyone, I'm Dave Lane, the OER Foundation's Open Source Technologist. I work with Wayne Mackintosh from our Christchurch Office, building and maintaining the mixture of technologies which make up the OERu's Technology Stack or Toolset.
OERu Minimum Viable Product
An accredited full year course of study
This toolset underlies the OERu Minimum Viable Product and is based on a collaborative authoring platform, Wikieducator.org - built on the same technology underlying Wikipedia - combined with a delivery platform, Course.oeru.org - built on the WordPress blog platform.
Our toolset also includes collaboration and communication tools to engage both educators and learners and we are incorporating analytical tools to help us measure the effectiveness of various practices we adopt.
How will it work?
If you're not already familiar with those technologies and how we're using them, my purpose today is to give you an idea of how this toolset will work in practice.
Step 1: Educators assemble OERs in WikiEducator.org
OERu partner representatives assemble course materials in Wikieduator in collaboration with other educators. They can incorporate rich content [Rich text editing environment] and assessments [quiz] directly in the Wiki. All work is protected by version control [revisions]. It can be edited from anywhere, with any Internet-connected computer or device.
Step 2: Educators design Courses for independent study using OERu tools
Educators can plan and contribute to individual courses - and new collaborators brought up-to-speed - coordinating tasks through our "Kanban" planning board [Wekan screenshot], through email mailing lists [Groups screenshot] and their archives, and in our searchable Community forum [Community screenshot]. Educators can collaborate in real-time with other educators and us through our instant messaging Chat environment [Rocketchat screenshot].
The front page of one of our two self-hosted Discourse forums - this one primarily for our educator community .
This is the Tech channel of our self-hosted Rocket.Chat -based instant messaging platform (that also supports file sharing, video conferencing, archive searching, and many other features).
Step 3: Courses offered by OERu
Any partner can "harvest" any course at any time, creating a "snapshottable" version for their institution.
At the click of a button, a Wikieductor course represented by a Course Outline like this one using materials held on WikiEducator, is automatically converted into a mobile-friendly WordPress site...
...either on a partner's own infrastructure or on our Course site [side-by-side screenshot of WE course -> WP course]. Of course, because the materials are openly licensed, partners have express permission to reuse the course materials even if that's by copying and pasting them into their preferred format. Here's the page we've been looking at as an illustration of how the WordPress snapshotting works. At the bottom of each WordPress Course page, there's a link back to the WikiEducator page from which it came...
Adaptive layout for our mobile learners.
Step 4: Learners take Courses
Learners can sign up for courses, either through partner institutions, or by signing up through OERu.org. This is particularly well suited to supporting "open boundary" courses. By registering, learners will be engaged with course-related instructional emails. These communications will be delivered through our learner engagement platform, Mautic, which will allow us to determine when learners act upon these emails. [CSF email screenshot]
This is a sample email sent via our Mautic learner engagement campaign to ensure timely and consistent messages - which can be pre-written - are delivered to coordinate our courses.
Step 5: Learners gain perspective by sharing
Learners can share and learn with one another though WENotes directly [screenshot], and via communication pulled from a wide variety of other places like suitably tagged posts on their own blogs, the OERu's Rocket.Chat, the OERu mailing lists, our learner Forums, and popular mainstream social media like Twitter and Google+.
This is an example of WENotes filtered for a specific Course. It shows how participants in a Course can submit WENotes either directly through the Feed's WENotes entry form, or by creating appropiately tagged content elsewhere on the web, with examples here from the OERu Forums and an individual's WordPress blog.
Step 6: Learners request assessment from partners
Branded course communications lead learners to partner assessment services and qualifications.
Finally, upon completing a course, learners can be assessed by whatever means is deemed appropriate by the hosting partner institution, and earn credit upon meeting the assessment threshold.
Permissionless Learning
Ability to fail (or not) anonymously
Throughout this process, motivated learners, anywhere in the world, can study these materials.
Today, all a learner needs to improve their prospects is:
aptitude, motivation, and opportunity - provided by any internet connected device.
All they need is... aptitude, motivation, and an internet connected device [mobile screenshot of course.oeru.org].
Our toolset is entirely Open Source
Walking the "Open" talk
All of our tools are open source software. For us at the OER Foundation, it's about cultural alignment and consistency with our open principles - we don't just talk about being open.
For Partners...
Try before you (don't) buy
Adapt quickly and decisively
Remove barriers
Economies of scale without being small fish
For our partners, its an opportunity to experience and use tools that don't get aggressively marketed to you. The OERu tools that work well for you are there for the taking. You can cherry pick the ones you like best, and with our assistance, adopt them into your institutions. Also, with open source tools, you benefit from economies of scale - because these tools all have international user bases - but you get them without being treated like a small fish in a big pond. Plus, each open source tool your institution adopts will likely save you far more than your OERu annual membership fee.
For Learners...
Access and empowerment
Reversible choices
Uncompromised freedom
For our learners it means accessibility and empowerment - with our toolset, they won't be denied access of tools for lack of money for proprietary licenses, nor are they forced to sacrifice their freedoms in technology choice. Not only can learners *use* these tools to broaden their horizons, they're also encouraged to learn how they work, and make them even more fit-for-purpose.
We've set up a Technology Blog as place to provide additional insights, how-tos, and case studies about compelling open source technologies.
Analytics
Designed to measure OERu effectiveness
We are increasingly building analytics tools like Piwik and Mautic into all of our services, so that, for example, course websites and associated email communication with students will be handled by systems that can measure the results of those communications. We want to be gathering information necessary to ensure the OERu is constantly learning, adapting, and improving.
For exapmle, this is a Mautic campaign, showing the mapping of communication and the triggers for analytics events.
