DESCRIPTION
- alternate object database
-
Via the alternates mechanism, a repository can inherit part of its object database from another object database, which is called an "alternate".
- bare repository
-
A bare repository is normally an appropriately named directory with a
.git
suffix that does not have a locally checked-out copy of any of the files under revision control. That is, all of the Git administrative and control files that would normally be present in the hidden.git
sub-directory are directly present in therepository.git
directory instead, and no other files are present and checked out. Usually publishers of public repositories make bare repositories available. - blob object
-
Untyped object, e.g. the contents of a file.
- branch
-
A "branch" is a line of development. The most recent commit on a branch is referred to as the tip of that branch. The tip of the branch is referenced by a branch head, which moves forward as additional development is done on the branch. A single Git repository can track an arbitrary number of branches, but your working tree is associated with just one of them (the "current" or "checked out" branch), and HEAD points to that branch.
- cache
-
Obsolete for: index.
- chain
-
A list of objects, where each object in the list contains a reference to its successor (for example, the successor of a commit could be one of its parents).
- changeset
-
BitKeeper/cvsps speak for "commit". Since Git does not store changes, but states, it really does not make sense to use the term "changesets" with Git.
- checkout
-
The action of updating all or part of the working tree with a tree object or blob from the object database, and updating the index and HEAD if the whole working tree has been pointed at a new branch.
- cherry-picking
-
In SCM jargon, "cherry pick" means to choose a subset of changes out of a series of changes (typically commits) and record them as a new series of changes on top of a different codebase. In Git, this is performed by the "git cherry-pick" command to extract the change introduced by an existing commit and to record it based on the tip of the current branch as a new commit.
- clean
-
A working tree is clean, if it corresponds to the revision referenced by the current head. Also see "dirty".
- commit
-
As a noun: A single point in the Git history; the entire history of a project is represented as a set of interrelated commits. The word "commit" is often used by Git in the same places other revision control systems use the words "revision" or "version". Also used as a short hand for commit object.
- commit object
-
An object which contains the information about a particular revision, such as parents, committer, author, date and the tree object which corresponds to the top directory of the stored revision.
- commit-ish (also committish)
-
A commit object or an object that can be recursively dereferenced to a commit object. The following are all commit-ishes: a commit object, a tag object that points to a commit object, a tag object that points to a tag object that points to a commit object, etc.
- core Git
-
Fundamental data structures and utilities of Git. Exposes only limited source code management tools.
- DAG
-
Directed acyclic graph. The commit objects form a directed acyclic graph, because they have parents (directed), and the graph of commit objects is acyclic (there is no chain which begins and ends with the same object).
- dangling object
-
An unreachable object which is not reachable even from other unreachable objects; a dangling object has no references to it from any reference or object in the repository.
- detached HEAD
-
Normally the HEAD stores the name of a branch, and commands that operate on the history HEAD represents operate on the history leading to the tip of the branch the HEAD points at. However, Git also allows you to check out an arbitrary commit that isn’t necessarily the tip of any particular branch. The HEAD in such a state is called "detached".
Note that commands that operate on the history of the current branch (e.g.
git commit
to build a new history on top of it) still work while the HEAD is detached. They update the HEAD to point at the tip of the updated history without affecting any branch. Commands that update or inquire information about the current branch (e.g.git branch --set-upstream-to
that sets what remote-tracking branch the current branch integrates with) obviously do not work, as there is no (real) current branch to ask about in this state. - directory
-
The list you get with "ls" :-)
- dirty
-
A working tree is said to be "dirty" if it contains modifications which have not been committed to the current branch.
- evil merge
-
An evil merge is a merge that introduces changes that do not appear in any parent.
- fast-forward
-
A fast-forward is a special type of merge where you have a revision and you are "merging" another branch's changes that happen to be a descendant of what you have. In such a case, you do not make a new merge commit but instead just update to his revision. This will happen frequently on a remote-tracking branch of a remote repository.
- fetch
-
Fetching a branch means to get the branch’s head ref from a remote repository, to find out which objects are missing from the local object database, and to get them, too. See also git-fetch[1].
- file system
-
Linus Torvalds originally designed Git to be a user space file system, i.e. the infrastructure to hold files and directories. That ensured the efficiency and speed of Git.
- Git archive
-
Synonym for repository (for arch people).
- gitfile
-
A plain file
.git
at the root of a working tree that points at the directory that is the real repository. - grafts
-
Grafts enables two otherwise different lines of development to be joined together by recording fake ancestry information for commits. This way you can make Git pretend the set of parents a commit has is different from what was recorded when the commit was created. Configured via the
.git/info/grafts
file.Note that the grafts mechanism is outdated and can lead to problems transferring objects between repositories; see git-replace[1] for a more flexible and robust system to do the same thing.
- hash
-
In Git’s context, synonym for object name.
- head
-
A named reference to the commit at the tip of a branch. Heads are stored in a file in
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/
directory, except when using packed refs. (See git-pack-refs[1].) - HEAD
-
The current branch. In more detail: Your working tree is normally derived from the state of the tree referred to by HEAD. HEAD is a reference to one of the heads in your repository, except when using a detached HEAD, in which case it directly references an arbitrary commit.
- head ref
-
A synonym for head.
- hook
-
During the normal execution of several Git commands, call-outs are made to optional scripts that allow a developer to add functionality or checking. Typically, the hooks allow for a command to be pre-verified and potentially aborted, and allow for a post-notification after the operation is done. The hook scripts are found in the
$GIT_DIR/hooks/
directory, and are enabled by simply removing the.sample
suffix from the filename. In earlier versions of Git you had to make them executable. - index
-
A collection of files with stat information, whose contents are stored as objects. The index is a stored version of your working tree. Truth be told, it can also contain a second, and even a third version of a working tree, which are used when merging.
- index entry
-
The information regarding a particular file, stored in the index. An index entry can be unmerged, if a merge was started, but not yet finished (i.e. if the index contains multiple versions of that file).
- master
-
The default development branch. Whenever you create a Git repository, a branch named "master" is created, and becomes the active branch. In most cases, this contains the local development, though that is purely by convention and is not required.
- merge
-
As a verb: To bring the contents of another branch (possibly from an external repository) into the current branch. In the case where the merged-in branch is from a different repository, this is done by first fetching the remote branch and then merging the result into the current branch. This combination of fetch and merge operations is called a pull. Merging is performed by an automatic process that identifies changes made since the branches diverged, and then applies all those changes together. In cases where changes conflict, manual intervention may be required to complete the merge.
As a noun: unless it is a fast-forward, a successful merge results in the creation of a new commit representing the result of the merge, and having as parents the tips of the merged branches. This commit is referred to as a "merge commit", or sometimes just a "merge".
- object
-
The unit of storage in Git. It is uniquely identified by the SHA-1 of its contents. Consequently, an object cannot be changed.
- object database
-
Stores a set of "objects", and an individual object is identified by its object name. The objects usually live in
$GIT_DIR/objects/
. - object identifier
-
Synonym for object name.
- object name
-
The unique identifier of an object. The object name is usually represented by a 40 character hexadecimal string. Also colloquially called SHA-1.
- object type
-
One of the identifiers "commit", "tree", "tag" or "blob" describing the type of an object.
- octopus
- origin
-
The default upstream repository. Most projects have at least one upstream project which they track. By default origin is used for that purpose. New upstream updates will be fetched into remote-tracking branches named origin/name-of-upstream-branch, which you can see using
git branch -r
. - overlay
-
Only update and add files to the working directory, but don’t delete them, similar to how cp -R would update the contents in the destination directory. This is the default mode in a checkout when checking out files from the index or a tree-ish. In contrast, no-overlay mode also deletes tracked files not present in the source, similar to rsync --delete.
- pack
-
A set of objects which have been compressed into one file (to save space or to transmit them efficiently).
- pack index
-
The list of identifiers, and other information, of the objects in a pack, to assist in efficiently accessing the contents of a pack.
- pathspec
-
Pattern used to limit paths in Git commands.
Pathspecs are used on the command line of "git ls-files", "git ls-tree", "git add", "git grep", "git diff", "git checkout", and many other commands to limit the scope of operations to some subset of the tree or worktree. See the documentation of each command for whether paths are relative to the current directory or toplevel. The pathspec syntax is as follows:
-
any path matches itself
-
the pathspec up to the last slash represents a directory prefix. The scope of that pathspec is limited to that subtree.
-
the rest of the pathspec is a pattern for the remainder of the pathname. Paths relative to the directory prefix will be matched against that pattern using fnmatch(3); in particular, * and ? can match directory separators.
For example, Documentation/*.jpg will match all .jpg files in the Documentation subtree, including Documentation/chapter_1/figure_1.jpg.
A pathspec that begins with a colon
:
has special meaning. In the short form, the leading colon:
is followed by zero or more "magic signature" letters (which optionally is terminated by another colon:
), and the remainder is the pattern to match against the path. The "magic signature" consists of ASCII symbols that are neither alphanumeric, glob, regex special characters nor colon. The optional colon that terminates the "magic signature" can be omitted if the pattern begins with a character that does not belong to "magic signature" symbol set and is not a colon.In the long form, the leading colon
:
is followed by an open parenthesis(
, a comma-separated list of zero or more "magic words", and a close parentheses)
, and the remainder is the pattern to match against the path.A pathspec with only a colon means "there is no pathspec". This form should not be combined with other pathspec.
- top
-
The magic word
top
(magic signature:/
) makes the pattern match from the root of the working tree, even when you are running the command from inside a subdirectory. - literal
-
Wildcards in the pattern such as
*
or?
are treated as literal characters. - icase
-
Case insensitive match.
- glob
-
Git treats the pattern as a shell glob suitable for consumption by fnmatch(3) with the FNM_PATHNAME flag: wildcards in the pattern will not match a / in the pathname. For example, "Documentation/*.html" matches "Documentation/git.html" but not "Documentation/ppc/ppc.html" or "tools/perf/Documentation/perf.html".
Two consecutive asterisks ("
**
") in patterns matched against full pathname may have special meaning:-
A leading "
**
" followed by a slash means match in all directories. For example, "**/foo
" matches file or directory "foo
" anywhere, the same as pattern "foo
". "**/foo/bar
" matches file or directory "bar
" anywhere that is directly under directory "foo
". -
A trailing "
/**
" matches everything inside. For example, "abc/**
" matches all files inside directory "abc", relative to the location of the.gitignore
file, with infinite depth. -
A slash followed by two consecutive asterisks then a slash matches zero or more directories. For example, "
a/**/b
" matches "a/b
", "a/x/b
", "a/x/y/b
" and so on. -
Other consecutive asterisks are considered invalid.
Glob magic is incompatible with literal magic.
-
- attr
-
After
attr:
comes a space separated list of "attribute requirements", all of which must be met in order for the path to be considered a match; this is in addition to the usual non-magic pathspec pattern matching. See gitattributes[5].Each of the attribute requirements for the path takes one of these forms:
-
"
ATTR
" requires that the attributeATTR
be set. -
"
-ATTR
" requires that the attributeATTR
be unset. -
"
ATTR=VALUE
" requires that the attributeATTR
be set to the stringVALUE
. -
"
!ATTR
" requires that the attributeATTR
be unspecified.Note that when matching against a tree object, attributes are still obtained from working tree, not from the given tree object.
-
- exclude
-
After a path matches any non-exclude pathspec, it will be run through all exclude pathspecs (magic signature:
!
or its synonym^
). If it matches, the path is ignored. When there is no non-exclude pathspec, the exclusion is applied to the result set as if invoked without any pathspec.
-
- parent
-
A commit object contains a (possibly empty) list of the logical predecessor(s) in the line of development, i.e. its parents.
- pickaxe
-
The term pickaxe refers to an option to the diffcore routines that help select changes that add or delete a given text string. With the
--pickaxe-all
option, it can be used to view the full changeset that introduced or removed, say, a particular line of text. See git-diff[1]. - plumbing
-
Cute name for core Git.
- porcelain
-
Cute name for programs and program suites depending on core Git, presenting a high level access to core Git. Porcelains expose more of a SCM interface than the plumbing.
- per-worktree ref
-
Refs that are per-worktree, rather than global. This is presently only HEAD and any refs that start with
refs/bisect/
, but might later include other unusual refs. - pseudoref
-
Pseudorefs are a class of files under
$GIT_DIR
which behave like refs for the purposes of rev-parse, but which are treated specially by git. Pseudorefs both have names that are all-caps, and always start with a line consisting of a SHA-1 followed by whitespace. So, HEAD is not a pseudoref, because it is sometimes a symbolic ref. They might optionally contain some additional data.MERGE_HEAD
andCHERRY_PICK_HEAD
are examples. Unlike per-worktree refs, these files cannot be symbolic refs, and never have reflogs. They also cannot be updated through the normal ref update machinery. Instead, they are updated by directly writing to the files. However, they can be read as if they were refs, sogit rev-parse MERGE_HEAD
will work. - pull
-
Pulling a branch means to fetch it and merge it. See also git-pull[1].
- push
-
Pushing a branch means to get the branch’s head ref from a remote repository, find out if it is an ancestor to the branch’s local head ref, and in that case, putting all objects, which are reachable from the local head ref, and which are missing from the remote repository, into the remote object database, and updating the remote head ref. If the remote head is not an ancestor to the local head, the push fails.
- reachable
-
All of the ancestors of a given commit are said to be "reachable" from that commit. More generally, one object is reachable from another if we can reach the one from the other by a chain that follows tags to whatever they tag, commits to their parents or trees, and trees to the trees or blobs that they contain.
- rebase
-
To reapply a series of changes from a branch to a different base, and reset the head of that branch to the result.
- ref
-
A name that begins with
refs/
(e.g.refs/heads/master
) that points to an object name or another ref (the latter is called a symbolic ref). For convenience, a ref can sometimes be abbreviated when used as an argument to a Git command; see gitrevisions[7] for details. Refs are stored in the repository.The ref namespace is hierarchical. Different subhierarchies are used for different purposes (e.g. the
refs/heads/
hierarchy is used to represent local branches).There are a few special-purpose refs that do not begin with
refs/
. The most notable example isHEAD
. - reflog
-
A reflog shows the local "history" of a ref. In other words, it can tell you what the 3rd last revision in this repository was, and what was the current state in this repository, yesterday 9:14pm. See git-reflog[1] for details.
- refspec
-
A "refspec" is used by fetch and push to describe the mapping between remote ref and local ref.
- remote repository
-
A repository which is used to track the same project but resides somewhere else. To communicate with remotes, see fetch or push.
- remote-tracking branch
-
A ref that is used to follow changes from another repository. It typically looks like refs/remotes/foo/bar (indicating that it tracks a branch named bar in a remote named foo), and matches the right-hand-side of a configured fetch refspec. A remote-tracking branch should not contain direct modifications or have local commits made to it.
- repository
-
A collection of refs together with an object database containing all objects which are reachable from the refs, possibly accompanied by meta data from one or more porcelains. A repository can share an object database with other repositories via alternates mechanism.
- resolve
-
The action of fixing up manually what a failed automatic merge left behind.
- revision
-
Synonym for commit (the noun).
- rewind
-
To throw away part of the development, i.e. to assign the head to an earlier revision.
- SCM
-
Source code management (tool).
- SHA-1
-
"Secure Hash Algorithm 1"; a cryptographic hash function. In the context of Git used as a synonym for object name.
- shallow clone
-
Mostly a synonym to shallow repository but the phrase makes it more explicit that it was created by running
git clone --depth=...
command. - shallow repository
-
A shallow repository has an incomplete history some of whose commits have parents cauterized away (in other words, Git is told to pretend that these commits do not have the parents, even though they are recorded in the commit object). This is sometimes useful when you are interested only in the recent history of a project even though the real history recorded in the upstream is much larger. A shallow repository is created by giving the
--depth
option to git-clone[1], and its history can be later deepened with git-fetch[1]. - stash entry
-
An object used to temporarily store the contents of a dirty working directory and the index for future reuse.
- submodule
-
A repository that holds the history of a separate project inside another repository (the latter of which is called superproject).
- superproject
-
A repository that references repositories of other projects in its working tree as submodules. The superproject knows about the names of (but does not hold copies of) commit objects of the contained submodules.
- symref
-
Symbolic reference: instead of containing the SHA-1 id itself, it is of the format ref: refs/some/thing and when referenced, it recursively dereferences to this reference. HEAD is a prime example of a symref. Symbolic references are manipulated with the git-symbolic-ref[1] command.
- tag
-
A ref under
refs/tags/
namespace that points to an object of an arbitrary type (typically a tag points to either a tag or a commit object). In contrast to a head, a tag is not updated by thecommit
command. A Git tag has nothing to do with a Lisp tag (which would be called an object type in Git’s context). A tag is most typically used to mark a particular point in the commit ancestry chain. - tag object
-
An object containing a ref pointing to another object, which can contain a message just like a commit object. It can also contain a (PGP) signature, in which case it is called a "signed tag object".
- topic branch
-
A regular Git branch that is used by a developer to identify a conceptual line of development. Since branches are very easy and inexpensive, it is often desirable to have several small branches that each contain very well defined concepts or small incremental yet related changes.
- tree
-
Either a working tree, or a tree object together with the dependent blob and tree objects (i.e. a stored representation of a working tree).
- tree object
-
An object containing a list of file names and modes along with refs to the associated blob and/or tree objects. A tree is equivalent to a directory.
- tree-ish (also treeish)
-
A tree object or an object that can be recursively dereferenced to a tree object. Dereferencing a commit object yields the tree object corresponding to the revision's top directory. The following are all tree-ishes: a commit-ish, a tree object, a tag object that points to a tree object, a tag object that points to a tag object that points to a tree object, etc.
- unmerged index
-
An index which contains unmerged index entries.
- unreachable object
-
An object which is not reachable from a branch, tag, or any other reference.
- upstream branch
-
The default branch that is merged into the branch in question (or the branch in question is rebased onto). It is configured via branch.<name>.remote and branch.<name>.merge. If the upstream branch of A is origin/B sometimes we say "A is tracking origin/B".
- working tree
-
The tree of actual checked out files. The working tree normally contains the contents of the HEAD commit’s tree, plus any local changes that you have made but not yet committed.

Dinner was ready. Professor Liedenbrock devoured his portion voraciously, for his compulsory fast on board had converted his stomach into a vast unfathomable gulf. There was nothing remarkable in the meal itself; but the hospitality of our host, more Danish than Icelandic, reminded me of the heroes of old. It was evident that we were more at home than he was himself.
The conversation was carried on in the vernacular tongue, which my uncle mixed with German and M. Fridrikssen with Latin for my benefit. It turned upon scientific questions as befits philosophers; but Professor Liedenbrock was excessively reserved, and at every sentence spoke to me with his eyes, enjoining the most absolute silence upon our plans.
In the first place M. Fridrikssen wanted to know what success my uncle had had at the library.
"Your library! why there is nothing but a few tattered books upon almost deserted shelves."
"Indeed!" replied M. Fridrikssen, "why we possess eight thousand volumes, many of them valuable and scarce, works in the old Scandinavian language, and we have all the novelties that Copenhagen sends us every year."
"Where do you keep your eight thousand volumes? For my part –"
"Oh, M. Liedenbrock, they are all over the country. In this icy region we are fond of study. There is not a farmer nor a fisherman that cannot read and does not read. Our principle is, that books, instead of growing mouldy behind an iron grating, should be worn out under the eyes of many readers. Therefore, these volumes are passed from one to another, read over and over, referred to again and again; and it often happens that they find their way back to their shelves only after an absence of a year or two."
"And in the meantime," said my uncle rather spitefully, "strangers ––"
"Well, what would you have? Foreigners have their libraries at home, and the first essential for labouring people is that they should be educated. I repeat to you the love of reading runs in Icelandic blood. In 1816 we founded a prosperous literary society; learned strangers think themselves honoured in becoming members of it. It publishes books which educate our fellow–countrymen, and do the country great service. If you will consent to be a corresponding member, Herr Liedenbrock, you will be giving us great pleasure."
My uncle, who had already joined about a hundred learned societies, accepted with a grace which evidently touched M. Fridrikssen.
"Now," said he, "will you be kind enough to tell me what books you hoped to find in our library and I may perhaps enable you to consult them?"
My uncle's eyes and mine met. He hesitated. This direct question went to the root of the matter. But after a moment's reflection he decided on speaking.
"Monsieur Fridrikssen, I wished to know if amongst your ancient books you possessed any of the works of Arne Saknussemm?"
"Arne Saknussemm!" replied the Rejkiavik professor. "You mean that learned sixteenth century savant, a naturalist, a chemist, and a traveller?"
"Just so!"
"One of the glories of Icelandic literature and science?"
"That's the man."
"An illustrious man anywhere!"
"Quite so."
"And whose courage was equal to his genius!"
"I see that you know him well."
My uncle was bathed in delight at hearing his hero thus described. He feasted his eyes upon M. Fridrikssen's face.
"Well," he cried, "where are his works?"
"His works, we have them not."
"What – not in Iceland?"
"They are neither in Iceland nor anywhere else."
"Why is that?"
"Because Arne Saknussemm was persecuted for heresy, and in 1573 his books were burned by the hands of the common hangman."
"Very good! Excellent!" cried my uncle, to the great scandal of the professor of natural history.
"What!" he cried.
"Yes, yes; now it is all clear, now it is all unravelled; and I see why Saknussemm, put into the Index Expurgatorius, and compelled to hide the discoveries made by his genius, was obliged to bury in an incomprehensible cryptogram the secret –"
"What secret?" asked M. Fridrikssen, starting.
"Oh, just a secret which –" my uncle stammered.
"Have you some private document in your possession?" asked our host.
"No; I was only supposing a case."
"Oh, very well," answered M. Fridrikssen, who was kind enough not to pursue the subject when he had noticed the embarrassment of his friend. "I hope you will not leave our island until you have seen some of its mineralogical wealth."
"Certainly," replied my uncle; "but I am rather late; or have not others been here before me?"
"Yes, Herr Liedenbrock; the labours of MM. Olafsen and Povelsen, pursued by order of the king, the researches of Troïl the scientific mission of MM. Gaimard and Robert on the French corvette La Recherche, [1] and lately the observations of scientific men who came in the Reine Hortense, have added materially to our knowledge of Iceland. But I assure you there is plenty left."
"Do you think so?" said my uncle, pretending to look very modest, and trying to hide the curiosity was flashing out of his eyes.
"Oh, yes; how many mountains, glaciers, and volcanoes there are to study, which are as yet but imperfectly known! Then, without going any further, that mountain in the horizon. That is Snaefell."
"Ah!" said my uncle, as coolly as he was able, "is that Snaefell?"
"Yes; one of the most curious volcanoes, and the crater of which has scarcely ever been visited."
"Is it extinct?"
"Oh, yes; more than five hundred years."
"Well," replied my uncle, who was frantically locking his legs together to keep himself from jumping up in the air, "that is where I mean to begin my geological studies, there on that Seffel – Fessel – what do you call it?"
"Snaefell," replied the excellent M. Fridrikssen.
This part of the conversation was in Latin; I had understood every word of it, and I could hardly conceal my amusement at seeing my uncle trying to keep down the excitement and satisfaction which were brimming over in every limb and every feature. He tried hard to put on an innocent little expression of simplicity; but it looked like a diabolical grin.
[1] Recherche was sent out in 1835 by Admiral Duperrè to learn the fate of the lost expedition of M. de Blosseville in the Lilloise which has never been heard of.
"Yes," said he, "your words decide me. We will try to scale that Snaefell; perhaps even we may pursue our studies in its crater!"
"I am very sorry," said M. Fridrikssen, "that my engagements will not allow me to absent myself, or I would have accompanied you myself with both pleasure and profit."
"Oh, no, no!" replied my uncle with great animation, "we would not disturb any one for the world, M. Fridrikssen. Still, I thank you with all my heart: the company of such a talented man would have been very serviceable, but the duties of your profession –"
I am glad to think that our host, in the innocence of his Icelandic soul, was blind to the transparent artifices of my uncle.
"I very much approve of your beginning with that volcano, M. Liedenbrock. You will gather a harvest of interesting observations. But, tell me, how do you expect to get to the peninsula of Snaefell?"
"By sea, crossing the bay. That's the most direct way."
"No doubt; but it is impossible."
"Why? "
"Because we don't possess a single boat at Rejkiavik."
"You don't mean to say so?"
"You will have to go by land, following the shore. It will be longer, but more interesting."
"Very well, then; and now I shall have to see about a guide."
"I have one to offer you."
"A safe, intelligent man."
"Yes; an inhabitant of that peninsula He is an eiderdown hunter, and very clever. He speaks Danish perfectly."
"When can I see him?"
"To–morrow, if you like."
"Why not to–day?"
"Because he won't be here till to–morrow."
"To–morrow, then," added my uncle with a sigh.
This momentous conversation ended in a few minutes with warm acknowledgments paid by the German to the Icelandic Professor. At this dinner my uncle had just elicited important facts, amongst others, the history of Saknussemm, the reason of the mysterious document, that his host would not accompany him in his expedition, and that the very next day a guide would be waiting upon him.

How was this pen made?


 My name is James - expert gamer, intermediate chef and novice coder. I've lived all over the country, was born in California but spent most of my time in Illinois and Florida. I moved to Portland with my family just after graduating from Florida State Univeristy. Within a few weeks I found employment with a company named Revant Optics and worked in customer service and then community management there. I recently quit that job so I could come learn to code at Epicodus and I'm so excited for what the future has in store!
My family, my partner and my friends are the most important people in my life. I'm lucky to have an incredible support system and people who believe in me and are always encouraging me to improve. I don't currently have any pets (unless a succlent counts?) but I do love animals. Hopefully in the future when I've got a yard I can adopt a dog or cat, or both!
After graduating high school, I attended the State College of Florida for 2 years - much to my parents delight, as my scholarship covered most of the tuition and I was still able to live at home. After that, I transferred to Florida State University and moved out on my own to Tallahassee, Florida. My major was English: Editing, Writing and Media and my focus was on the trend towards digital literacy and it's implications. My minor was in Communications.
Barring my years at FSU, I've always held down a job since high school. My first job was at the local Dairy Queen, and yes, it took a lot of self control to not eat soft serve every shift! From there I moved on to a gig at Ace Hardware, and then to Best Buy. After graduating college and moving to Portland, I was employed by a company named Revant Options. I worked there for a little over 3 years, starting out in a customer service role and then moving on to a community manager position where I managed and directed our social media presence. I recently left that positon to pursue further eduction in a new field, coding, here at Epicodus.
Aside from my coursework this past week, and dabbling with some Python, I have no coding experience. I decided to pursue an education and career in coding, specifically front end, because I wanted to be able to flex my creative muscles while also having clear definitions and metrics for success. You can definitely tell when your code isn't working / not doing what you want it to do. It's all worth it when you get your code to work though, such a great feeling!

Danielle Panabaker Says Grant Gustin Had Fun With Comedy In Tonight's 'The Flash'
Danielle Panabaker pulls double duty on The Flash tonight as she directed the episode!
The 32-year-old actress recently opened up about co-star Grant Gustin getting to do some comedy.
“Grant‘s so incredibly talented and, particularly this season as they’re preparing for Crisis, we haven’t gotten to see a ton of levity from him,” she said, via TV Guide. “And so to really give him the opportunity… to really lean into the comedy there was, I think, fun for him. There were some stunts that I had not intended for him to do and he got on stage and he was like, ‘Well, can I do that?’ And I was like, ‘That’s not up to me!’ So you know, I think he was really enjoying himself.”
Showrunner Eric Wallace also dished on her directing skills.
“She is a terrific director, and I can say that with confidence because I saw her in action. She was so prepared. She knew exactly what she was doing; shot construction, working with the DP, working with the actors, having things cut in her head,’ he said. “I would be not surprised at all to see her directing many more episodes of the show. She just did a terrific job, and I’m super happy.”

Previously I only knew vague details of Apple’s history so I learnt a great deal. Steve Jobs was truly and genius and his life is inspirational to me beyond words. I share many of values in almost all areas but don’t live them with anywhere near the same extreme conviction. The book has inspired me to live with more. It also further instilled the value of focus, laser beam focus.
Yes, he was a jerk but it’s been to the benefit of humanity. Shit work walks out the door every day because feelings can’t be hurt or diplomacy needs to be maintained. This is a terrible tradeoff.
The details of the Sculley saga are bizarre with the way Jobs completely manipulated him to his own detriment. At least in the short to medium term. I doubt everything that happened with Sculley negatively affected the long term. Perhaps it was even a net positive but what a strange story.
As I was reading I used the Kindle’s great highlights feature to select my favourite quotes:
A few weeks later he called Bob Belleville, one of the hardware designers on the Xerox Star team.  Belleville did, and so did Larry Tesler.
“The goal was never to beat the competition, or to make a lot of money. It was to do the greatest thing possible, or even a little greater.” (Andy Hertzfeld)
At one point Kare and Atkinson complained that he was making them spend too much time on tiny little tweaks to the title bar when they had bigger things to do. Jobs erupted. “Can you imagine looking at that every day?” he shouted. “It’s not just a little thing, it’s something we have to do right.”
After the confrontation in the conference room, Gates quietly gave Jobs a private demo of what was being planned for Windows. “Steve didn’t know what to say,” Gates recalled. “He could either say, ‘Oh, this is a violation of something,’ but he didn’t. He chose to say, ‘Oh, it’s actually really a piece of shit.’”
When Jobs asked for a number of options to consider, Rand declared that he did not create different options for clients.  “You can use what I produce, or not, but I will not do options, and either way you will pay me.”
“So I asked Issey to make me some of his black turtlenecks that I liked, and he made me like a hundred of them.” Jobs noticed my surprise when he told this story, so he gestured to them stacked up in the closet. “That’s what I wear,” he said. “I have enough to last for the rest of my life.”
People don’t know what they want until you show it to them. That’s why I never rely on market research.
After finishing the book I have an even greater respect for Jobs, a deeper sadness that he died young and less faith that a Jobs-less Apple will continue to make things I love to use every day.

Singapore authority revokes Inter-Pacific Petroleum’s bunker supplier licence
SINGAPORE, Dec 9 — The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has revoked the bunker supplier licence of Inter-Pacific Petroleum Pte Ltd effective today.
In a statement here, MPA said Inter-Pacific would cease to operate as a bunker supplier in the Port of Singapore.
According to the authority, Inter-Pacific has filed for judicial management at the Singapore High Court and a judicial manager has been appointed.
“With the appointment of the judicial manager, Inter-Pacific has failed to meet the terms and conditions of the bunker supplier licence, leading to the revocation of the licence,” said MPA.
This follows MPA’s earlier revocation of Inter-Pacific’s bunker craft operator licence on October 15 due to bunkering malpractices, it said.
The maritime agency reminded all bunker licensees to adhere strictly to the terms and conditions of their licences.
“MPA takes a serious view of contraventions of the licence terms and conditions, and will suspend or revoke the relevant licence(s) where necessary,” it said. — Bernama


Tutorial Steps
Introduction- The Weather Application
- Initializing the CacheManager
- Putting stuff in the cache
- Making entries expire
- Configuring the cache
- Clustering the application
- Listen to changes in the cluster
- Listen to changes in the cache
- Grouping entries together
- Temperature averages with streams
- Declarative configuration
The Weather App
Now that Infinispan is storing some interesting data, we might want to perform some computation on it. In our weather application, let's compute the average temperature for every country. One simplistic approach would be to have one node perform the computation iterating over the whole dataset. This however has two downsides: it requires fetching the data from the respective owners (which might mean going over the slow network instead of the fast memory) and it only takes advantage of the horsepower of one node, while we have a whole cluster at our disposal.
Infinispan offers a solution to both problems: using the powerful concepts of distributed execution and distributed streams we can use all the available nodes to perform computation locally to where the data is, and then send the results for aggregation to a master node. Let's see how we can use streams to compute the average country temperature.
To compute this we will need to group each of the locations by its country and then average the temperatures within those groupings. This is quite simple with the Streams interface recently added to the JRE. We can utilize the collect method along with the new Collectors class to do both of these operations. This is what that would look like:
= preserve do
:escaped
public void computeCountryAverages() {
Map averages = cache.entrySet().stream()
.collect(Collectors.groupingBy(e -> e.getValue().country,
Collectors.averagingDouble(e -> e.getValue().temperature)));
}
As you can see we are first grouping the elements by the country and then finally averaging the weather within those countries, just like we wanted! And it requires very little code.
Unfortunately the above code doesn't work for a distributed cache like we have. The reason for this is we have to transport the collector operations to each node so they can be processed there. Thus we have to make sure these are able to be serialized. Unfortunately the Collectors class doesn't produce instances that are serializable by default. Therefore Infinispan has a bridge class to support using Collectors, which is aptly named CacheCollectors which allows for the user to provide a serializable Supplier of a Collector. This can be used like the following:
= preserve do
:escaped
public void computeCountryAverages() {
Map averages = cache.entrySet().stream()
.collect(CacheCollectors(() -> Collectors.groupingBy(e -> e.getValue().country,
Collectors.averagingDouble(e -> e.getValue().temperature))));
}
The above code will serialize the supplier of the collector and send that across to the other nodes where it can then create the non serializable Collector locally. This allows for the operations to be executed locally to each entry.
That's it ! Let's see it at work
= preserve do
:escaped
$ git checkout -f step-10
$ mvn clean package exec:exec # on terminal 1
$ mvn exec:exec # on terminal 2
Here is the trimmed output:
Coordinator Node Output
= preserve do
:escaped
---- Average country temperatures ----
Average temperature in Canada is -11.0° C
Average temperature in USA is 5.8° C
Average temperature in Romania is 7.0° C
Average temperature in UK is 3.0° C
Average temperature in Italy is 5.5° C
Average temperature in Portugal is 13.6° C
Average temperature in Switzerland is -0.1° C
Now that we have a fully working application, which actually does something useful, we might want to run it in production, so we need to find a way to make changing configuration according to the environment a bit simpler. On to the next step.

The original TWO MAIDS & A MOP office location was located in Pensacola, FL. The tiny 250 square foot office space was located on the wrong side of the tracks – literally. A railroad track stretched across all sides of the property and loud roars could be heard every 30 minutes. This tiny office served as a breeding ground for some of the brand’s most successful initiatives today; including the cleaning industry’s most famous compensation plan: The Pay for Performance Plan.
TWO MAIDS & A MOP opened its second location in Destin, FL. One week after the grand opening, Hurricane Ivan brought category 5 winds to the local area and destroyed hundreds of homes in the area; including many of our client’s homes. It was a devastating and major blow for the company’s second location. Fortunately, the location is alive and well today and represents a thriving small market territory for TWO MAIDS & A MOP.
Our third location opened along the Gulf Coast of Northwest Florida in beautiful Panama City Beach, FL. It was such a fun time. Three locations; all located within a few miles of the beach. This location proved one important thing: TWO MAIDS & A MOP could be successful in multiple markets and there was no need for the founder to be active in the daily operations of every office. A systemized, scalable brand was being born!
TWO MAIDS & A MOP opens its first location outside the state of Florida in Birmingham, AL. The city would soon become the company’s home office. Better yet, the Birmingham location would serve as a catalyst for future company growth. The company’s innovative lead generation formula was tested here and results proved to be better than ever expected. The ball was rolling!
The fifth and sixth locations open in Nashville, TN and Huntsville, AL. Nashville represented our largest metropolitan market and proved that our concept could work in small, medium and large markets. Lots of home grown talent started to fill our management pipeline during this time so we decided to leverage the talent pipeline and open even more locations beyond our familiar state borders.
Two additional office locations open; Knoxville, TN and Atlanta, GA. Our reach stretched across four states and we eclipsed the 100 employee mark during this year. The growth in each of our locations was overwhelming at this point. We were growing so quickly – everyday! Our growth was finally being recognized by the industry and we started receiving calls on a regular basis from people interested in starting their own cleaning business. We weren’t ready for franchising just yet but the phone calls from interested people planted a seed in our head. What if we let our secret out by franchising the brand across the country?
Three more office locations open; Montgomery, AL; Greensboro, NC and Charlotte, NC. We were cleaning hundreds of homes everyday across five different states. What a tremendous feeling; considering our humble origins. Best of all, an industry association formally recognized TWO MAIDS & A MOP as the National Maid Service of the Year!
Chattanooga, TN opens and our first franchised unit also opens in Tampa, FL. We received a number of awards during this year but the biggest one came from Inc. Magazine. The magazine recognized our company as the fastest growing cleaning company in the nation.
Two additional franchise locations open for business; Fort Worth, TX and Washington, D.C. In addition, two existing affiliate locations in Tennessee were converted into franchise locations. TWO MAIDS & A MOP garners national publicity with feature articles in CNN Money, Yahoo Finance, and Entrepreneur Magazine.
Rapid expansion of the brand occurs with multiple locations opening in Raleigh, NC; Dallas, TX; Tallahassee, FL; Jacksonville, FL; Tuscaloosa, AL; Suwanee, GA; and Alpharetta, GA.Several affiliate locations are converted into franchise units including Knoxville, TN; Montgomery, AL; Destin, FL; and the original location in Pensacola, FL. National publicity continues with more feature articles in Success Magazine, Inc. Magazine, and Better Homes and Gardens. The brand is prominently featured on the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square!

CLUPDD is organized around the idea of linking two types of data: genomic variant data in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and information about genomic features obtained through RNAseq. This linking is done through each feature's position relative to the reference genome. A diagram of the structure of the database is below. Objects with green headers are entity tables, whose attributes are listed below the header. Diamonds are relationships, and may or may not include associated info (such as the 'have' relationship, which includes GT and GQ for each Sample-SNP relationship).
Queries have been designed to retrieve one kind of information when you have knowledge of the other. If you have a SNP of interest and would like to know the genes it may affect, then use Search by SNP. If you have a gene and would like to know what SNPs may affect it and what populations have those SNPs, then use Search by Gene. If you have a region of interest and would like the see the SNPs or the Genes that are in that region, then Search by Region. If you would like to perform a query outside of the capabilities of the Search by Region/Gene/SNP queries, then use the Advanced Search option.
Database Diagram:
Region queries are used to search a particular genomic region. They require a chromosome, and a start and stop position.
The Information Returned Includes:
-All of the SNPs found in the region, with their position and alleles
-All of the genomic features found in the regions, with their position, type (gene, mRNA, etc.), name and symbol
Example Query:
Chromosome = 3, Start position = 11136300, End position = 11136400
Gene queries are used to find any genetic variants (SNPs) that may be affecting a genomic gene or feature of interest. Gene search requires selecting whether you are searching a gene name or symbol, and the name/symbol of the feature. Gene search will also take partial matches to gene names (such as Trypsin from the exampe). If multiple genes match the partial name, information from all of the genes will be returned.
The Information Returned Includes:
-All of the SNPs found in the feature of interest, with their position, putative effect, impact, and alternate allele frequency in each population
-All of the GO terms related to the searched feature
Example Query:
With the gene name radio button selected: Gene = (sp)_similar_to_Trypsin,_alkaline_A_CLUMA_CG022604
With the gene symbol radio button selected: Gene = CLUMA_CG022604
SNP queries are used to find genes or genomic features that may be affected by a SNP of interest. It requires the chromosome and position of the SNP.
The Information Returned Includes:
-The information for that SNP, with reference and alternate alleles, putative effect, and the impact of that effect
-The genomic features that could be affected by that SNP
-The GO terms associated with those features
-The alternate allele frequency calculated from all samples for each population
Example Query:
Chromosome = 3, Position = 11136324
Advanced search is to be used if you need some information from the database that can't be obtained through the Region, Gene, or SNP queries. It allows users to make any search they wish by taking a query written in MySQL syntax as input and returning all information from that query in table format. The database's tables can been seen in the diagram above, or in the diagram or table pop-up windows in the Advanced Search tab.
More information on how to compose MySQL queries can be found here or here.
Example Queries:
"select * from population" would return all populations in the database
"select reference.chromosome, reference.position, impact from reference join snp using(rpid) join snpeffect using(snpid) where impact in ('HIGH','MODERATE’) group by snpid" would return all of the SNPs with a high or moderate impact

| lesson 12 Life on a desert island |
| Most of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. |
| We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of paradise where the sun always shines. |
| Life there is simple and good. |
| Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. |
| The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. |
| Life on a desert island is wretched. |
| You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, Waiting for a boat which never comes. |
| Perhaps there is an element of truth in both these pictures, |
| but few of us have had the opportunity to find out. |
| Two men who recently spent five days on a coral island wished they had stayed there longer. |
| They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired. |
| During the journey, their boat began to sink. |
| They quickly loaded a small rubber dinghy with food, matches, and cans of beer |
| and rowed for a few miles across the Caribbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. |
| There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. |
| The men collected rainwater in the rubber dinghy. |
| As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. |
| They caught lobster and fish every day, and, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'. |
| When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave. |

About Me
I am an aspiring software engineer. I am currently an Application Development and Testing student at Seattle Central through the Year Up program.
Before starting the program, I worked in the customer service industry. I worked at BeachHouse Bar and Grill as a front of house staff member for 4 years. I am a quick learner and adapted well in the restaurant while taking on different roles and responsibilities. I learned to establish professional and personal relationships with my coworkers and customers to improve the business as a whole. While working I attended the University of Washington and had the opportunity to take a java programming class, where my interest in computer science began. I am excited to take a challenging course load this year that will allow me to develop the needed skillset to pursue a career in tech.
I love analyzing and solving problems that involve critical thinking. Having these skills allowed to me be able to learn new skills and programming languages efficiently. I currently have experience with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Microsoft Excel, and GitHub. Being able to make my own webpage and experiment with different properties in CSS is my new favorite pastime. I am also eager to learn more programming languages and principles to expand my knowledge about software development!

About Me
Hi, I am Ryan Ben, a full stack web developer. I am a graduate at Tuitt Coding bootcamp and a freecodecamper as well. As someone who enjoys folding and building models out of paper, software development was an obvious path. I am a fast learner and can quickly integrate into a team so I can provide value to the company and the customers. Besides coding, I love spending quality time with my wife, watching movies, listening to U2, playing Supercell games, and most especially creating origami.

The Neckdown Repair Action is designed to repair neckdowns generated by lines with round or square ends that are not fully covered by other lines or pads. A neckdown occurs when the end of a line touches another line or pad and its end segment is not fully covered by the other feature.
To describe neckdown repair, we must first define the "end" and "end-segment" of a line.
The end of a round-ended line is the circle defining the rounded end. The end of a square-ended line is the square forming the end.
For square-ended lines, the end-segment is the edge of the square butt. For round-ended lines, the end-segment is the diameter of the circle forming the end that is perpendicular to the line.
A neckdown occurs when the end of a line touches another line or pad, and its end segment is not fully covered by the other feature. There are two kinds of neckdowns:
Round-ended lines are reported separately from square-ended lines.
Lines with a length to width ratio smaller than the ERF variable length_width_ratio will be ignored.
Only lines with significant length (end shapes do not touch each other) will be repaired. A short line is shown in the figure below:
Shaved lines will not be modified. The action repairs lines when end-points touch only one feature (line or pad). This is done to avoid the removal of teardrops. You may specify the "Ignore Nomenclature" parameter (on the Action popup) to determine whether lines with the .nomenclature attribute should be ignored.
§ When two lines create a neckdown they will be stretched (or shrunk) so that their ends meet at the same point, preventing a neckdown. The angles of the two lines will be preserved
§ At the point where the end point touches the middle of a line, the necksown will be repaired by stretching the line until its end is fully covered.
§ A line will not be modified:
§ If the other line is a teardrop.
§ If both ends touch each other.
§ When the two lines are parallel.
*
Square lines that create neckdowns with other lines will be modified
only if the modify_square2line ERF
variable is set to Yes.
If an orthogonal square line becomes diagonal after its neckdown is repaired,
it will not
be modified (regardless of the value of modify_square2line
). It will also not be modified if it touches a line or a pad.
* If a line with a round end touches a line with a square end, creating a neckdown, and the ERF variable modify_square2line is set to No, the round end of the line will be reported in the Square Line Neckdown category.
* If a repair on a line causes it to be disconnected from a shape in the layer, or causes it to be connected to a shape that was not previously connected, then the line will be reported in the Connectivity Violation category. The line will be displayed as if it had been repaired, even though it is not.
*
A neckdown on a pad will be only be repaired if the pad is a circle. Other
shaped pads will be reported in the "NeckDown to Non-round Pad"
category, and will not be modified. Round pads are modified by stretching the
end of a line into a pad until the line is fully covered.
If, after stretching a line, its end is not covered by the pad it will be
reported in the category “Bad Entry to Round Pad”. If the diameter of the pad
is smaller than the line, the line will not be modified.
* If you provide a minimum spacing parameter value, the action will report lines with neckdown that create spacing violations less than the minimum spacing parameter value. These lines will not be modified but will be displayed as if modified. The spacing segment between the "modified" line to the other feature will be displayed.
* If a line violates spacing before it is modified, a spacing violation will be reported and the line will not be modified. If you specify the minimum spacing parameter value as zero, then no spacing check will be done, but a connectivity check will be performed anyway.
None

Guide
TABLE
- After Downloading Clipjump, unzip it and run Clipjump.exe .
It's a portable application so no installation is needed.
- When you run the exe, Clipjump's icon will be seen in SystemTray.
- Try copying either by Ctrl+C or by Right Click -> Copy or Shift+PrintScreen
- You will notice a Tip, [Transferred to Clipjump] when you copy something.This will mean that the copy has been succeeded.
- Now, press Ctrl+V(paste action), you will see a tip containing the file or text to be copied.[This is Paste Mode].
If an Image has been copied, a Window showing your image will pop-up.
You will have to release Ctrl to perform actions. (You will know later)
Here, Release Ctrl to paste.
- To move through Multiple Clipboards, press V again while holding Ctrl. [while in Paste Mode]
Release Ctrl to Paste.Tap C while holding Ctrl to move backwards.
- To Cancel Copy, press X while in Paste mode [Ctrl Pressed].
The tip should change to a Cancel Message. This is [Cancel Mode]
Release Ctrl to confirm.
- To Delete Current Clipboard, press X twice in Paste Mode or once in Cancel Mode.
The tip should now change to a Delete Message. This is [Delete Mode]
Release Ctrl to confirm.
To Delete all Clips, press X thrice in Paste Mode OR twice in Cancel Mode OR once in Delete Mode.
The tip should change to a Delete All message.This is [Delete All Mode]
Release Ctrl and then confirm the confirmation tip with Y to proceed.
Notes
- As you can see, Releasing Ctrl is the basis of performing actions in Clipjump.
- Also, note that Cancel Mode,Delete Mode and Delete All Mode are inter-related.
The program cycles through these modes when you press X while holding Ctrl.
So, pressing X while holding Ctrl in Delete All Mode will switch back to Cancel Mode.
Action Mode provides a clean user-friendly interface to execute almost all the other components of Clipjump. Activated with the default configurable shortcut
Ctrl+Shift+A , it provides easy keys to run components of Clipjump.
Action Mode easy keys can be changed via the Advanced section of the Settings ini file.
The Fixate option is meant to hold a current Clipboard at a fixed position while
positions of all other Clipboards change.
Thus, if a Clipboard is fixed at [Clip 1], it
will stay there at Clip 1 even after numerous Copies and Cuts.
This can be useful if you want a Clipboard entry to be easily accessible every time you
go in Paste Mode using Ctrl+V.
Please note that Clipjump remembers last pasted clip's position. So, if you have just pasted [Clip 5], Clipjump will
start from [Clip 5] the next time you press Ctrl and then V [Paste Mode].
A workaround to go to [Clip 1] quickly can be going into [Cancel Mode] after pressing Ctrl+V and canceling and then again pressing Ctrl+V.
Clipjump will now start from [Clip 1]
Using Fixate
Pressing SPACE while in [Paste Mode] toggles the Fixed status of a Clip.
If you reach the clip of your choice and want to fix it, press SPACE and you
will notice a "[FIXED]" written after (Clip x of y).
This means the Clip is Fixed there. As said above , pressing SPACE again
on the fixed clip will remove the FIX from it and the "[FIXED]" from the tip will disappear.
Note that the DeleteAll option will delete FIXED Clips too.
- Pressing the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+C will copy path(s) of selected files in all file managers including Windows Explorer.
- Using Action Mode and then X will copy path of current opened folder in all file managers including Windows Explorer. You can also create an independent shortcut
for this function in the Settings Editor.
- Pressing the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F will copy selected file's content to Clipjump.
- This function works with all file managers including Windows Explorer.
- This module will also work on Image files and exported Clipboard files (.cj).
To force Clipjump Paste Mode to be activated by some other key other than Ctrl+V, you can use the Settings editor of Clipjump.
Simply open the editor and look for the Paste Mode(Ctrl +..)
value in the Shortcuts
group. Change the default V in the box to some other key to make the Clipjump Paste Mode to be activated by the Ctrl combination of that key. Make the value blank to disable Clipjump Paste Mode
.
Many a times you have applications that use Clipboard's common transfer to extract data from various locations.
These apps can be a headache when used with as consistent a tool as Clipjump.
The One Time Stop feature just solves this problem. Available with a configurable independent shortcut which is by default unassigned,
you can call it once to make Clipjump automatically ignore the last data and linked content that is transferred to System Clipboard and so Clipjump.
In this period, what really happens is that the Clipjump Clipboard Monitoring is
deactivated , a feature which can be controlled via Clipjump Controller.
NOTE - When Clipboard Monitoring is disabled (as in One Time Stop) , Clipjump's tray icon will become dark.
WARNING - One Time Stop is deactivated when Paste Mode is accessed in the ignore period.
Selective Windows Clipboard
Many a times there are situations where you are not allowed to paste using the old shortcut Ctrl+V (like in Command Prompt).
There the Selective Windows Clipboard Option comes handy.
Using
Cycle through the clipboards by Ctrl+V or C .When you reach the clip of your choice,
press S while holding Ctrl.
You will see a Confirmation (System Clipboard has Clip x) in form of tip.
That's it.
Now, the Right-Click > Paste Or any other option to Paste other than the old Ctrl + V
will paste the Clip you had choose like it is currently stored in System Clipboard.
No-Formatting Mode
No formatting mode truncates formatting from Clipjump clips when they are pasted.
To access this mode, use the "Z" key as the toggle when in [PASTE MODE]
Press "Z" once while in [PASTE MODE] and you will see a [NO-FORMATTING] in the Tip.
This will mean all the clipboard data pasted from now onwards will have Formatting truncated.
To disable this mode, press "Z" again while in [PASTE MODE] and the [NO-FORMATTING] text will dissappear.
Note that that the No-Formatting setting doesn't mean that clips copied will not have any formatting, this means that the formatting will be removed from them temporarily when they are pasted.
TIP - To make Clipjump start by default in NO-FORMATTING mode , see the option Start with No Formatting Enabled
in the Settings editor.
Export and share Clipboards
Clipjump supports exporting clipboards as files which can be stored as a record OR send to a friend.
The feature is accessible by tapping E
in [PASTE MODE] and by the shortcut Ctrl+E
in the Clipjump History Tool.
The Clip or Clipboard when exported will be saved in "My Documents" with a name export[x].cj
where x
is a variable.
The .cj
file extension when used with Copy File Data directs Clipjump to load the file contents into itself.
[v9.5+] To reset Clipjump to its default settings and remove all the data created by Clipjump on your computer , use this option . The option can be found in
the About window for Clipjump. The data that will be removed includes history items, paste mode clips, extracted icons and the settings file.
Disable Clipjump
[v9.7+] You can disable Clipjump ( i.e. Clipboard Monitoring and Paste Mode ) from the Tray Menu as well as Action Mode. In Action Mode, this option is available
with the easy key D
.
To have more control over Clipjump, see Clipjump Controller .

Sara Wallis: The Cockfields on Gold could be a new classic to rival great sitcoms
Co-written by 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown's Joe Wilkinson, mundane conversations make for a sparkling script and the tender moments are reminiscent of The Royle Family
by Irishmirror.ieFrom Sue Johnston fussing over spare pillows to Bobby Ball glued to The Chase, The Cockfields was the injection of big-hearted comedy I didn’t even realise I’d been waiting for.
Sitcoms are a tough sell these days. There’s just so much to live up to so we keep banging on about Fawlty Towers and Blackadder.
If only we had something else to talk about.
The Cockfields on Gold is co-written and stars Joe Wilkinson, who I knew only as that bloke who performs idiotic sketches on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
What a surprise then that he has penned with David Earl this gentle family comedy that gave me all the feels of that other classic: The Royle Family.

No big twists, no levered-in slapstick, just people being people.
Joe plays Simon, heading back to his family home on the Isle of Wight with his girlfriend Donna, Motherland’s Diane Morgan, to spend a long weekend with his overbearing relatives for his 40th.
Doting mum Sue, played by Royles veteran Johnston, is a delight, obsessing, as mums do, over pointless details.
Twitchy
Do they need spare duvets, more pie? Should they eat lunch in the garden? What about midges? Napkins?
Donna’s facial expressions grow more and more twitchy.
Sue’s husband Ray, played by Ball, just wants to eat his sandwich – white slice, plastic cheese, while watching TV.
Simon’s awkward stepbrother David, played by Ben Rufus Green, is obsessed with having selfies with celebrities.
One “tense” scene saw the family sitting outside the closed gate of what they believed was Alan Titchmarsh’s home.
“We saw him in Morrisons down one of the aisles,” said Sue proudly.
Mundane conversations about the neighbour’s hedge and the price of an organic sausage roll made for a sparkling script.
There were tender moments too. Sue taking a moment to tell Simon how as a four-year-old he’d promised her he’d stay four for ever.
And of course, the relatives everyone loves to hate.
Simon’s dad Larry, played by Nigel Havers, who produced a revolting red leather jacket as his birthday gift.
Sarah Parish as Larry’s obnoxious snob girlfriend Melissa, who “doesn’t want to make a fuss”.
And the neighbour always lurking, getting smashed on white wine.
Just three parts, this wasn’t enough for me.
But with a couple of neat plot moves at the end – a possible proposal and Ray’s dodgy heart – the writers must be busy scribbling a full series.
We all need a new classic.

AMERICAN PIE (M). (Universal/UIP) Director: Paul Weitz Stars: Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Natasha Lyonne, Tara Reid, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Mena Suvari, Eugene Levy, Shannon Elizabeth, Chris Owen, Seann William Scott.
A Porky's for the '90's? Although this raunchy but very funny adolescent comedy explores problems of adolescent angst and the sexual follies of youth, it does so with more honesty, intelligence, sympathy and insight than one expects from a movie squarely aimed at the MTV generation.
The plot centres around four high school seniors who make a pact to lose their virginity by prom night - a mere three weeks away. After all, if Sherman (Chris Owen, from the coming of age drama October Sky), the school's biggest geek, can get laid, why can't these four handsome studs? Although sex is the prime object of their quest, the four lads end up discovering more important values, such as friendship, honesty, and love, along the way.
The closest thing American Pie has to a central character is Jim (Jason Biggs), who finds his sexual awakening has also become a matter of major concern to his overly concerned father (a droll Eugene Levy). Jim's stocks plunge to an all time low when his humiliating attempt to seduce a foreign exchange student is broadcast to the entire school body over the internet. Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) finds his long-term relationship with Vicky (Tara Reid) threatened by the sudden pressure to have sex. The hygiene-conscious Finch (Eddie Kaye Thomas) circulates rumours concerning his sexual prowess in order to make himself more appealing, but comes unstuck after an embarrassing prank. Meanwhile Oz (Chris Klein) joins the singing club to impress Heather (Mena Suvari), and ultimately finds he has to choose between his jock friends and a chance at happiness with her. American Pie thankfully avoids the cliché of having the prom night become the climactic moment of the film, and opts for a far less formulaic way of resolving its plot. The largely unknown cast throw themselves into the material with enthusiasm, and their performances bring the characters alive nicely.
First time film makers, writer Adam Herz and director Paul Weitz, deliberately push the boundaries of good taste here, but nowhere near as relentlessly as did the Farrelly brothers with last year's enormously enjoyable but tasteless There's Something About Mary. American Pie features some of the best, and grossest, visual gags since Cameron Diaz tried out a new brand of hair gel, and should prove a real winner with adolescent audiences.
This is essentially a bloke's movie, about secret men's business and featuring plenty of locker room humour - but it's all done with a modicum of sensitivity that, strangely enough, appeals to broader audiences. At the preview I attended, teenage girls were laughing just as hard as the guys, while many teenage boys were shrinking with knowing embarrassment.
So, what's American Pie really like? Like warm apple pie, basically!

NFL Insider Updates Status Of Bengals Star WR A.J. Green
by Chris RosvoglouFor those waiting for A.J. Green to make his debut this season, you’ll have to wait a little longer. Once again, the star wideout on the Cincinnati Bengals will have to sit out due to his ankle injury.
Green suffered the injury during training camp. The Bengals expected him to miss a significant period of time, but they were hopeful he would return after the bye week.
Unfortunately for Green, he re-aggravated his injury while practicing a few weeks ago, and remains out indefinitely. With another divisional matchup set for this weekend, Cincinnati will have to play without its top offensive weapon.
According to ESPN insider Adam Schefter, the Bengals have ruled out Green for this Sunday against the Steelers.
At this point it’s fair to wonder if Green will actually suit up at all this season.
On the flip side, the Bengals should have John Ross III back on the field fairly soon.
Cincinnati has struggled mightily on offense this season. Head coach Zac Taylor replaced Andy Dalton with Ryan Finley at quarterback in an effort to revitalize the team, but it didn’t really do much.
The Bengals will try to earn their first win of the season on Sunday when they face the Steelers.
