Exercise Positioning Layout Tests
Hands-on exercises to help understand different layout techniques
Check out the codepen examples below, each with multiple ways to center content. Be sure to delete the css (or comment it out) line-by-line so you can fully understand the impact of each css property and value.
Centering
Horizontal Centering

Note how it's just one line of code: text-align: center;
Horizontal + Vertical Centering
[codepen_embed height=”500” theme_id=”0” slug_hash=”mvLzBw” default_tab=”css,result” user=”kccnma”]See the Pen Exercise: Simple Horizontal and Vertical Centering with Flexbox by kccnma (@kccnma) on CodePen.[/codepen_embed]
Note the use of flexbox and subsequent two (three total) lines of code: display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center;
Absolute vs. Relative Positioning
Understanding when to use each is important and empowering.
HINT: it's all about preserving normal flow.
"Don't break me." –Normal Flow

Note how absolute positioning breaks normal flow.
It's all Relative...
[codepen_embed height=”500” theme_id=”0” slug_hash=”NyWepK” default_tab=”css,result” user=”kccnma”]See the Pen CSS Position Test #2: Absolute child inside of a Relative Parent by kccnma (@kccnma) on CodePen.[/codepen_embed]
HINT: when you think of the word "relative" try to think of a family member such as your parent. In this context, whenever you are positioning an element using absolute positioning, think of it like a child and ask "who is the parent?" When a parent gets a position: relative setting, it becomes the 0,0 (x,y) coordinate for it's absolutely positioned children.
Floats vs. Inline-Blocks
When it comes to two-dimensional content, such as a grid of thumb images, flexbox is now well supported in all modern browsers so it is highly recommended, but I also recommend understanding the strategies behind two old-school, tried-and-true techniques (and their shortcomings): 1) Floats (including the need for "clearing" floats with "clear fixes" and 2) inline-blocks (and the inline "space" between them):
Floats

Note the "clearfix" css used to keep the parent element open
Inline Blocks
[codepen_embed height=”500” theme_id=”0” slug_hash=”KQKEzr” default_tab=”css,result” user=”kccnma”]See the Pen CSS Positioning Test #4: Inline-Block by kccnma (@kccnma) on CodePen.[/codepen_embed]
Note the space between each inline-block element
Custom Grid Systems
Custom semantic grids are super helpful and convenient when laying out content. There are multiple ways to code your own grid from scratch (it's not that hard to do and takes very little time), such as using floats, flexbox, and CSS Grid. Each has it's own challenges and advantages, so it's helpful to understand the proc and cons for each. Here's a simple flexbox grid with useful semantic classnames and helper utility classes that can be easily used (and reused) for many common layout scenarios:

If you completed these exercises, nice work!


Fast Fix Parser (FFP)
v0.5
What is FFP?
Fast FIX Parser (FFP) is a library for parsing Financial Information
eXchange protocol (FIX) messages. It takes input bytes as they arrive from,
for example, a socket, and converts them into a representation of FIX
messages which can be further analysed for semantic checks, converted into
“business” structures, etc. It also provides a way to specify which tags are
allowed for a particular message and verifies this specification at runtime.
Why another Fix parser?
Yes, there are many other Fix parsers out there. This library aims to
address the following issues with other similar designs:
- Speed. On my rather old Core i5-430M 2.26GHz laptop, in a single
thread, this parser can process about 410,000 messages with groups per
second and about 920,000 simple messages per second. The processing time
is more or less a linear function of the message length.
- It does not impose any particular I/O or threading model. In fact, it
does no I/O at all, and there are no threads running in the background.
This greatly simplifies integration of the library into an existing code
base.
- The parser does not expect every chunk of its input data to be a
complete FIX message. The data can be fed into the parser as they become
available, and the parser splits or combines the input into complete
messages.
- The parser is written in plain C, not in C++. Consequently, it does
not use C++ exceptions for delivering errors. While C++ exceptions is a
convenient mechanism for error reporting and processing, it also affects
overall performance because it usually takes substantial time for an
exception to be propagated from the point where it is thrown to the
point where it gets caught and processed. To make things worse, the time
is implementation dependent. On a high-speed server this time can cause
a serious disruption to the message processing pipelines, also delaying
processing of FIX messages coming from other connections.

Data representation and API
Input data are simply raw bytes in the form of a pointer and a number of
bytes from 1 to (theoretically) the maximum value the size_t
type can hold.
Output is in the form of a series of data structures, each representing a
FIX message:
Given a buffer pointer bytes
and a number of bytes in the buffer n,
the top-level fix_message
structures are usually iterated over using code like the following (parser
API functions highlighted):
const struct fix_message* msg;
for(msg = get_first_fix_message(parser,
bytes, n); msg; msg = get_next_fix_message(parser))
{
if(!msg->error)
dispatch_message(msg);
else
process_message_error(msg->version, msg->type, msg->error);
}
The loop iterates while msg
pointer returned is not null. Also, notice the check for error inside the
loop; more about error processing later. The fix_message
structure itself contains only a few attributes of the FIX message, but it
can also be used to find the root node of the message via function get_fix_message_root_node().
This function returns a pointer to another type, struct
fix_group_node. Essentially, this type is a map from a tag code to
the data associated with the tag. The main function to get the data
associated with a tag is get_fix_tag()
which returns a pointer to a struct
fix_tag. The tag data may either be a null-terminated string of
chars or a pointer to the first element of a group. In the former case the value member of struct
fix_tag is set to point to the first character of the string and
the length member holds the
number of chars in the string excluding the terminating null. There are also
a few functions that can extract the tag data converted to a particular
type, e.g., a double. If the tag represents a group then the value
pointer is set to null, length
attribute is set to the number of elements in the group and group
attribute points to the first element in the group. The code to iterate over
all items in a group may look like the following:
const struct fix_group_node* pnode;
const struct fix_tag* pt = get_fix_tag(current_node,
384); // assuming "384" is a group tag
if(!pt) // the tag
must be present, even if the group is empty
{
printf("No group
tag\n"); // error
return;
}
for(pnode = pt->group; pnode; pnode
= get_next_fix_node(pnode))
// loop over all group nodes
{
// process node
here
}
For more detailed examples please refer to the example.c
file.
Parser control tables
The parser is controlled by a set of tables describing valid message
formats. To simplify parser table development a number of helpful macro is
provided. In the following examples only those macro will be used.
To create a new instance of the parser the user has to specify a parser
table entry point in the form of a function, which, given a Fix message
version and type, returns its associated parser table entry. This function
is called a classifier function, or simply classifier. One example of the
function may look like this:
const struct fix_tag_classifier*
example_classifier_func(fix_message_version version, const char*
msg_type)
{
if(version != FIX_4_4)
return
NULL; // only v4.4 is accepted
if(msg_type[1] != 0)
return
NULL; // only one-symbol types in our example
switch(msg_type[0])
{
case 'A':
return
PARSER_TABLE_ADDRESS(Logon);
case '5':
return
PARSER_TABLE_ADDRESS(Logout);
case 'D':
return
PARSER_TABLE_ADDRESS(NewOrderSingle);
default:
return NULL;
}
}
In this simple example only three messages are expected (Logon,
Logout and NewOrderSingle),
in a real production code there will certainly be more of them. The
classifier refers to three parser table entries. A simple entry definition (Logout message) may look like the
following:
MESSAGE(Logout)
VALID_TAGS(Logout)
// header
TAG(49) // "SenderCompID"
TAG(56) // "TargetCompID"
TAG(34) // "MsgSeqNum"
TAG(347) // "MessageEncoding"
// message body
TAG(58) // "Text"
TAG(354) // "EncodedTextLen"
TAG(355) // "EncodedText"
END_VALID_TAGS
DATA_TAGS(Logout)
DATA_TAG(354,
355)
END_DATA_TAGS
NO_GROUPS(Logout)
END_MESSAGE(Logout);
The specified tags will be checked at run-time, with error reported if an
unexpected tag (i.e., not in the specification like the above) is found. It
should be noted that no verification is done on the data associated with a
tag, a user can utilise the conversion functions provided by FFP library for
that purpose.
For more examples of message entry definitions, including those with groups,
please refer to example.c
file.
Error handling
There are two types of errors reported by the parser:
- Message errors;
- Parser errors.
Message errors are reported via a non-null error
pointer of the struct fix_message,
and the errors are "recoverable", i.e. the parser itself remains in a
valid state after this type of error is detected and the message
processing can continue. On the contrary, parser errors are not
recoverable and the only valid operation after such an error has occurred
is closing the parser. Parser errors are indicated via a non-null pointer
returned from the get_fix_parser_error()
function.
Future FFP development
Short/medium term:
- Testing. So far the library has only a few very basic tests using some
FIX messages I picked up somewhere on the Web. That is clearly not
enough. For a better test, a complete implementation of a real-life
protocol is needed, along with a large set of messages conforming to
this protocol to test the implementation. Companies are understandably
reluctant to publish their FIX messages, but without it the correctness
of the code cannot be reliably verified.
- Profiling and optimisation. Though, there is no point in doing that
before the code is well tested.
Long term:

AND YOU
As business needs continue to depend on increasingly complex web applications, their technologies need to mature to make them scalable and maintainable.
Fortunately, Angular is making that a possibility.
What tooling does Angular offer you right out of the box?
The CLI
Community-built snippets and plugins
Easy-to-use, responsive UI framework
Ahead-of-time compiling
Tools for offline caching
Incredible performance benchmarks
Server-side rendering
Powerful debugging
Objected-oriented, component based experience
AngularJS =>
Angular
ES5
(circa 2009)
ES6/2015
arrow syntax, classes, modules
TypeScript

Angular now uses semantic versioning
major.minor.patch
Don't try to bootstrap your project manually.
Don't eject the webpack file if you don't have to.
Components have a hierarchal relationship in Angular, and data flow is unidirectional (top to bottom).
Architectural Style #1
Decision (smart) and Presenter (dumb)
@Component({
selector: 'conference-rooms-list',
template: `
<conference-room *ngFor="let room in rooms"
[room]="room"
(bookClick)="bookRoom($event)">
</conference-room>
`
})
export class ConferenceRoomsList {
constructor(private _roomsService: RoomsService) { }
getRooms() { ...... }
bookRoom(id: number) { ......... }
////// etc ///////
}
@Component({
selector: 'conference-room',
template: `
Name: {{room.name}}
<button (click)="bookMe()">Book</button>
`
})
export class ConferenceRoom {
@Input()
public room: RoomModel;
@Output()
public bookClick = new EventEmitter<number>();
constructor() { }
bookMe() {
this.bookClick.emit(this.room.id);
}
}
But what happens when the component tree gets complex?
@Component({
selector: 'conference-room',
template: `
Name: {{room.name}}
<button (click)="bookMe()">Book</button>
`
})
@Component({
selector: 'conference-room',
template: `

<book-component (bookRoom)="bookMe()"></book-component>
`
})
Lots of redundant data binding/emits

But how are other components going to get the updates?

this.roomsStream$.next(this._rooms);
}
}

We now have a singleton service that can broadcast updates of the model to subscribers!

When importing other files you've written, use a relative path
import { ConferenceRoomService } from './conference-room.service';
import { ConferenceRoom } from '../models/conference.room';
.......
export class ConferenceRoomComponent {
.........
}
When importing from npm libraries, use an 'absolute' path
import { Http, Response } from '@angular/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
! Don't blow up the size of your app by importing everything:
import * from '@angular/core';
import 'rxjs/Rx';
AppModule
RoomsModule
AdminModule
MeetingsModule
@NgModule({

ConferenceRoomComponent,
HighlightDirective,
DatePipe
],
imports: [
CommonModule,
BrowserModule,
SharedModule
],
exports: [HighlightDirective, DatePipe],
providers: [ConferenceRoomService]
})
export class AppModule { }
What happens when you import a module more than once?
Usually, nothing.
*this changes with lazy-loaded modules.
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{ path: 'conference-rooms', component: ConferenceRooms },
{ path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
];
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule,
ConferenceRoomModule,
RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
declarations: [
AppComponent,
HeroListComponent,
CrisisListComponent,
LoginComponent
],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }
ConferenceRoomModule
is loaded when the app bootstraps.
It's eagerly loaded.
const appRoutes: Routes = [
{
path: 'conference-rooms',
loadChildren: 'app/conference-room/conference-room.module#ConferenceRoomModule',
},
{ path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
];
@NgModule({

RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes)
],
declarations: [
AppComponent,
HeroListComponent,
CrisisListComponent,
LoginComponent
],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }
We're no longer importing ConferenceRoomModule.
It's now referenced in a special string in the router's path.
What are the implications of that?
The module is bundled separately by Webpack
It will only be loaded when navigated to
!!! Any services you provide, or modules you import that provide a service, will overwrite anything provided by parent modules
CanActivate? Prevents navigation to a route
Common use case: Is the user logged in?
CanDeactivate? Prevents leaving a route
Common use case: leaving a form unsaved
CanLoad? Should module be sent over wire?
Can use in conjunction with CanActivate
Resolve: Before activating, load data
Fetch data from API before activating
Why?
It's generally more efficient
export class SomeComponent implements OnInit {
ngOnInit() {
if (!this._loginService.isLoggedIn()) {
this._router.navigateTo('login');
}
}
}
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
ngOnInit() {
setTimeout(() => {
if (!this._loginService.isLoggedIn()) {
this._router.navigateTo('login');
}
}, 10000);
}
}
export class LoginService {
....
public isLoggedIn$ = Observable.from(loginStatusProducer).share();
login() { ... }
logout() { ... }
}
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
ngOnInit() {
this._loginService.isLoggedIn$
.subscribe(status => {
if (!status) {
this._router.navigateTo('login');
}
});
}
}
Observables 'pipe' data from a source to its subscriber(s)
They can transform those values/objects along the way as well
Observable.of(val)
from a static value
Observable.from(obs | collection)
from an iterable collection, another observable, etc.
These are observables:
let obs1 = Observable.of(1, 2, 3);
let obs2 = this._http
.get('http://domain.com/api/profile/43242');
let obs3 = Observable.from(obs2);
So that means I can start getting data, right?
let result = this._http
.get('http://domain.com/api/profile/43242');
console.log(result);
Nope!
Observables are "cold" by default
this._http
.get('http://domain.com/api/profile/43242')
.subscribe(result => console.log(result));
Call subscribe to make an observable "hot"
Every time you call subscribe(),
the producer gets recreated
// bad code
getProfileData(id: number) {
let obs = this._http
.get(`http://domain.com/api/profile/${id}`);
obs.subscribe(result => console.log(result));
return obs;
}
......
this._profiles.getProfileData()
.subscribe(result => console.log(result));
The HTTP call is made twice in this example
You can share the same producer for multiple subscriptions:
let obs = Observable.interval(500).share();
let sub1
= obs.subscribe(result => console.log(result));
let sub2
= obs.subscribe(result => console.log(result));
The observable immediately becomes "hot" upon calling share()
Subjects simply allow you to push values on demand as well as subscribing
let mySubject = new Subject<string>();
let sub = mySubject.subscribe(result => console.log(result));
mySubject.next("update 1");
mySubject.next("update 2");
// console prints:
// update 1
// update 2
// good way
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { Subject } from 'rxjs/Subject';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/share';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/do';
// no
import 'rxjs/Rx';
We needed to fetch a list of recommended products based the ones the user already bought
We needed to fetch a list of recommended products based the ones the user already bought
1. Fetch a list of products that the user already bought
/api/products
3. For each product name, get a recommendation
/api/recommendations/product1
/api/recommendations/product2
/api/recommendations/product3
2. For each product ID, get its name and description
/api/products/1
/api/products/2
/api/products/3
You could write it like this
loadProducts() {
this.productService.getProducts(this.ratingIds).subscribe((result) => {
this.ratings = result;
this.ratings.forEach((rating) => {
for (let trId in this.customer.topRatings) {
if (rating.id === trId) {
rating.rating = this.customer.topRatings[trId];
}
}
});
//get recommendations for your top rated products
this.ratings.forEach((item) => {
this.productService.getRecommendations(item.name.replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, " "), item.category.toString().replace(/[^\w\s]/gi, " ")).subscribe((rec) => {
this.productService.getRatingsByProduct(rec.id).subscribe((productRatings) => {
rec.userRatings = productRatings;
this.recommendations.push(rec);
});
});
});
//get users who have liked your top rated products
this.ratings.forEach((item) => {
this.productService.getRatingsByProduct(item.id).subscribe((productRatings) => {
item.userRatings = productRatings;
})
});
});
//get other users who have liked what you like
var topRatingIds = [];
for (let trId in this.customer.topRatings) {
topRatingIds.push(trId);
}
this.productService.getRatingsByProductList(topRatingIds).subscribe((ratingsResult) => {
for (let index in this.ratings) {
this.ratings[index].userRatings = ratingsResult[index];
}
});
}
But with some refactoring with RxJS...
private loadProducts() {
this.productService.getProducts(this.ratingIds)
.do(products => this.getUsersWhoRatedTopProducts(products))
.switchMap(products => Observable.from(products))
.flatMap(product =>
this.productService.getRecommendations(product.name, product.category)
.switchMap(productRecommendation => this.getRecommendationRatings(productRecommendation))
.subscribe(productRecommendation => this.recommendations.push(productRecommendation));
}
Define your bindings and events in the template
<form (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()" #heroForm="ngForm">

<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name"
required
[(ngModel)]="model.name" name="name"
#name="ngModel">

Name is required

export const heroes: Hero[] = [
{
id: 1,
name: 'Whirlwind',
address: [
{street: '123 Main', city: 'Anywhere', state: 'CA', zip: '94801'}
],
power: 'Spawn a tornado'
}
];
.......
export class HeroDetailComponent {
heroForm: FormGroup;
states = states;
constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
this.createForm();
}
createForm() {
this.heroForm = this.fb.group({ // <-- the parent FormGroup

address: this.fb.group({ // <-- the child FormGroup
street: '',
city: '',
state: '',
zip: ''
}),
power: '',
});
}
}
Template-driven or model-driven (reactive) forms are both acceptable
In our experience, reactive driven forms and validators are easier to manage.
For simpler forms, template-driven should be used.
Unfortunately, there is no good answer to this.
Material, ng-bootstrap come to mind

Army veteran wins lottery twice in two months
by Wade SheridanNov. 22 (UPI) -- Retired Army veteran Andrei Jones of Greensboro, N.C., has won the lottery twice over the course of two months.
Jones won $150,000 on Thursday from a Cashword scratch-off ticket after he had won $1,000 from a scratch-off ticket in September.
"I'm blessed," Jones said. "I was blessed before, but now I'm even more blessed."
Jones at first wasn't aware that he had won as after he scanned his ticket, it told him to visit the lottery headquarters.
He claimed his cash prize in Raleigh on Thursday, taking home $106,126 after federal tax withholdings.
Jones said that he will use the money to save for the future and to pay off his wife and daughter's cars.

Atomic variables are declared as instances of boost::atomic<T>
where T
is an integral or suitable
user-defined type. Operations to be performed on such a variable are implemented
as member functions of this type.
In addition to atomic variables, the library also provides a mechanism for
ensuring ordered access to shared data structures, using either the free-standing
atomic_thread_fence
function, or specified along with an operation on an atomic variable.
boost::atomic<T>
provides methods for atomically accessing variables of a suitable type
T
. The type is suitable if it satisfies
one of the following constraints:
class
or struct
)
that has a non-throwing default constructor, that is copyable via memcpy
and comparable via memcmp
.
Note that all classes having a trivial default constructor, no destructor
and no virtual methods satisfy the second condition according to C++98.
On a given platform, other data-types may also satisfy
this constraint, however you should exercise caution as the behaviour becomes
implementation-defined. Also be warned that structures with "padding"
between data members may compare non-equal via memcmp
even though all members are equal.
Each atomic object supports the following operations:
atomic()
(default constructor): Initializes the atomic
variable to an unspecified value
atomic(T initial_value)
: Initializes the atomic variable
to the given value
load
: Reads the current
value of the atomic variable
store
: Stores a new
value for the atomic variable
exchange
: Exchanges
the value of the atomic variable with a new value and returns the old
value
compare_exchange_weak
:
Tests if the value of the atomic variable with an "expected"
value, and if it matches, exchanges it with a new value (allows for spurious
failures).
compare_exchange_strong
:
Tests if the value of the atomic variable with an "expected"
value, and if it matches, exchanges it with a new value.
In addition to these explicit operations, each atomic<T>
object also supports implicit store
and load
through the use of "assignment" and "conversion to T
"
operators. Avoid using these operators, as they do not allow explicit specification
of a memory ordering constraint.
In addition to the operations listed in the previous section, boost::atomic<I>
for integral types I
supports the
following operations:
fetch_add
: Adds
value to atomic variable and returns old value
fetch_sub
: Subtracts
value from atomic variable and returns old value
fetch_and
: Combines
atomic variable bitwise "and" with operand and returns old
value
fetch_or
: Combines
atomic variable bitwise "or" with operand and returns old value
fetch_xor
: Combines
atomic variable bitwise "xor" with operand and returns old
value
In addition to these explicit operations, each boost::atomic<I>
object also supports implicit pre-/post- increment/decrement, as well as
the operators +
, ], [^-
&
and ],
[^|
^=
. Avoid using these operators,
as they do not allow explicit specification of a memory ordering constraint.
When implementing custom thread coordination protocols, atomic variables can be used to prevent two threads from performing conflicting access to shared data. At the very least, any write to a non-atomic variable must be considered to conflict with any other read or write to the same variable, depending on the use case other types of concurrent access may conflict as well.
Boost.Atomic
provides one basic mechanism to guarantee
that an operation A in thread #1 happens before an
operation B in thread #2 (thus operations A and B are not executed concurrently):
(The happens before relation is transitive). Release
and Acquire operations may be performed calling the
free-standing function atomic_thread_fence
with memory_order_release
and memory_order_acquire
parameter, respectively. The implementation also provides a mechanism for
specifying a memory ordering constraints together with an atomic operation,
so that in most cases the above sequence will be written as:
Note that in itself, both acquire and release are meaningless, the guarantee only holds if both threads access the same atomic variable, and it does not hold for non-atomic variables.
Refer to this section for examples demonstrating correct usage of acquire and release operations.
It is sometimes permissible to use a consume operation instead of acquire as in the previous section. This is possible if (and only if) the operation B computationally depends on the value read from the atomic variable. This is satisfied if:
Use acquire in all other cases [1] . If the above requirement is met, then the following sequence
also guarantees that A happens before B. (The relationship is transitive and may also be written in the same short-hand notation, as before).
See the wait-free queue and singleton pattern for valid uses of consume.
The following memory ordering constraints can be specified with atomic
operations or as parameter to the free-standing atomic_thread_fence
function:
boost::memory_order_relaxed
: No ordering is implied.
Informally speaking, following operations may be moved before, preceding
operations may be moved after the atomic operation. This constraint is
suitable only when either a) further operations do not depend on the
outcome of the atomic operation or b) ordering is enforced through other
mechanisms (e.g. atomic_thread_fence
).
boost::memory_order_release
: Forces all earlier operations
performed by this thread in program order to become visible to another
thread that has read the value written by this atomic operation. Used
in conjunction with boost::memory_order_acquire
to
enforce inter-thread ordering of operations.
boost::memory_order_acquire
: Forces all later operations
performed by this thread in program order to "happen after"
the corresponding release operation(s). Used in conjunction with boost::memory_order_release
to enforce inter-thread ordering of operations.
boost::memory_order_consume
: Forces all later operations
performed by this thread in program order that computationally depend
on the value obtained from the atomic variable to "happen after"
the corresponding release operation(s). This is a weaker (and more efficient)
form of "acquire" that is suitable in certain situations. See
the discussion in section FIXME.
boost::memory_order_acq_rel
: Combines the constraints
of boost::memory_order_acquire
and boost::memory_order_release
.
boost::memory_order_seq_cst
: Behaves like boost::memory_order_acq_rel
,
but additionally requires that there exists a total order for all operations
qualified with memory_order_seq_cst
.
The default ordering constraint (if none is specified) of every atomic
operation is boost::memory_order_seq_cst
which implies
both "release" and an "acquire". This means that, failing
to specify any other constraint, each operation on an atomic variable already
acts as release and acquire operation.
[1] Nominally, consume should also be applicable if B is an arithmetic expression depending on the atomic value. Due to optimizations that might eliminate this dependence this can however not be guaranteed without compiler support. Therefore, avoid using this constraint for anything else but pointer dereferences

BIYBL - Bible In Your Best Language - helps speakers of other languages engage deeply with God's word during church events.
Many churches are blessed with foreign visitors who do not speak the language the service is conducted in well, if at all. They could be students, refugees, immigrants or simply holidaymakers. These people have been drawn to Christians and their meetings, but how do we help them leave the building with more than just bemusement?
If you find yourself sitting next to someone who is clearly lost Bible due to language issues, bring up the site on your phone, enter the passage reference, and then hand it to them. It will hopefully be obvious to them what to do - they can choose their language, and then read the passage in it. They can then refer to this while the Word is being read and preached, to help them understand better what is going on.
Churches have the opportunity to have BIYBL remember the passage(s) you are studying that week, and get a static and readable URL which will Do The Right Thing each time.
For your church to use BIYBL, sign up on the site. You'll define a username and password that you or your church administrator will use to log in each week to tell BIYBL the passages you are studying that week. You will also be given a URL which does not change. This URL can be printed in your church bulletin, turned into a QR code and pasted into your pew Bibles, or set as the home page for the cheap tablets your church lends to foreign visitors.
That well-known URL simply provides a list of languages to choose from. When the visitor recognises and chooses their language, they are immediately presented with the week's passage(s) in that language. They can then refer to this while the Word is being read and preached, to help them understand better what is going on.
BIYBL is a free service built in October 2015 at the London instance of the Code for the Kingdom Global Hackathon, by Ben Drury, Gervase Markham and David Fedor.

He starts off his journey to overcome the first obstacle Zeus has provided him. He is now in the Brexelian forest where the sentient beast Onisha sleeps.
It's said Onisha is as old as the Earth and has seen everything.
Onisha is a kind gentle beast who has been grievened by the continuous malicious actions of humans that harm the environment.On his way to the forest Anim stumbles upon a majestic bird. He marvels at its sight and gets more determined to save the environment. He keeps moving forward to the centre of the forest to find Onisha.
The forest keeps on surprising and mesmerising Anim with its beauty. Somewhere deep in his heart, he was happy that the world is in crisis. For if it not for that he would never have ventured forth on this journey and found such prestine places that are a feast to the eyes. While he was sitting and having some fruits that he plucked off a tree, he watches a couple of Zebras that seem to be very much in love. He wonders what his future family would be like. As soon as he is done eating, he keeps moving on to find Onisha. It seems in the heart of the forest lies an island where Onisha resides, Anim fortunately and surprisingly finds a boat and starts rowing to the centre.
He gets off the boat and takes his first step on the island. Time was of the essence, but the island was huge. Where could Onisha be residing?. Few minutes later he notices a fox is looking at him. He asks the fox 'Can you take me to Onisha?'. The fox nods and starts running. Anim wastes no time and tries to keep up with the cunning animal.
Out of the blue there it was, standing. It was an elephant but no mere elephant, it was the spirit of the forest in to physical manifestation. The beast who has seen it all, Onisha .
Anim pleads to Onisha to forgive the humans. Onisha who is a gentle soul asks Anim 'Why should I forgive the humans for all they do is damage the eco-system and engage in deforestation?.'
Anim had no answer to this question but asks the beast to be kind and give the humans another chance. Onisha had sharp eyes, it notices the belt Anim is wearing and asks him "how did you get to be in the possession of that belt boy?, you look familiar". Anim replies that it was given to him by his father.
 Are you not?. I owe Malcom for once he saved me but I'll not get in to the details of the encounter. Very well, I forgive thee humans. Move along now, I need to eat."
"Thank you so much Lord Onisha for trusting us again, I never could have believed in my wildest dreams that my father would have an encounter with you and that this belt would be the saviour of humans. May I take a branch from one of the oak trees here with your permission?". Onisha nods, Anims pick a small branch, puts it in his backpack safely and moves to his last mission.

Currently there is no visual output yet.


American photographer, Paul Caponigro once said, “It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another thing to make a portrait of who they are,” photography is a visual of how an individual interprets the world. To me, taking photos allows others to see your vision and how I comprehend an experience. I utilize my camera to analyze different people, and how society shapes them. Often my favorite photos are black and white, because they convey a sense of mystery and enigma. If my photos can evoke a reaction with the subject’s emotions, then they can be a visual behind the true meaning of each photo.
It is important that my work is consistent and inhibits similar designs. Even though they are separate people, everyone is connected and undergoes similar experiences. Everyone has different upbringings, but everyone has been shaped by society and that is reflected in their personality. Capturing this personality is an important aspect of my photography, catching someone in their own world can show more than any staged photo. Photography makes me feel that there is allows more to learn about someone and their mystery or story is reflected.
My hope, is that my photos can induce a response from someone and clearly reflect the subjects past, present, and future. Perhaps the audience can relate to the subject.
My Bio
Hello! Welcome to my Bio, my name is Tracy Ackeret. I was born and raised in Helena, Montana. Growing up a played a lot of sports, basketball, soccer, and so forth, but I ended up loving dance and cheer the most. I am a freshman at Carroll College. My major is English Writing and my minor is Social Media.
Sophomore year of high school is when my love for photography began to develop. After taking two years of photography classes, I found myself enjoying using photoshop and taking pictures of my friends. This website is to show the favorite photos that I have taken and my information.

John Legere Will Step Down As T-Mobile CEO On May 1
After a rumor surfaced last week that John Legere might be leaving his CEO post at T-Mobile to head up WeWork, we now know that he will actually be leaving T-Mobile on May 1.
In a series of Tweets this morning, Legere announced that he will be handing over the keys to the T-Mobile kingdom on May 1, to Mike Sievert. He is already the president, COO and a member of the board of directors at T-Mobile US.
So this was the logical move for T-Mobile to make. And it really looks like Legere was grooming Sievert to take over this position for the past few years.

Will Legere be heading to WeWork next year?
That rumor was not confirmed. All we know right now is that Legere is leaving T-Mobile on May 1. That means he would be CEO of T-Mobile for about seven and a half years. That's not a bad tenure for a CEO, especially in the wireless industry.
WeWork wanted a CEO in place by January 1. And if Legere isn't leaving until May 1, that means that he may not be taking the reigns of WeWork, unless it is okay with Legere coming in a bit later in the year.
WeWork is in desperate need of a CEO that can turn its ship around, and believes that Legere could be the one to do just that. After all, we've seen what he's done with T-Mobile in the seven years he's been there. Taking it from a carrier that was on life support, to being one of the most popular carriers in the industry.

It's likely that if Legere is taking the reigns at WeWork, that it'll be WeWork that announces it. And it could be as soon as today.
This move shouldn't affect the pending merger
T-Mobile, Sprint and its parent companies are hoping that the merger will be approved rather soon. Though this does sort of throw a wrench in its plan. Seeing as John Legere was supposed to be the CEO of the New T-Mobile.
Now it looks like Sievert will be taking the reigns of the new combined company. That's if the merger is approved.

It's been in the approval process for nearly a year and a half at this point. So it's anyone's guess whether it'll go through or not.
Sievert is dedicated to keeping the Un-Carrier movement going. He's seen how successful that has been for T-Mobile as well as the industry. So it's no surprise that he wants to keep that going.
Legere will be working with Sievert over the coming months, to ensure a smooth transition in leadership.

Davis Cup finals 2019: Andy Murray cautious of heavy workload

Andy Murray says he needs to be cautious about his workload at the revamped Davis Cup finals with the potential for Great Britain to play five ties in five days.
Murray, 32, is part of a British team that plays the Netherlands on Wednesday and Kazakhstan on Thursday.
If they progress through the group they will play a quarter-final tie on Friday before potential semi-final and final ties at the weekend.
"I need to think long term," said Murray, who had hip surgery in January.
The former world number one has not completely ruled out playing doubles in Madrid, however, as 18 nations contest a football-style knockout tournament for the first time to determine the Davis Cup champions.
Barcelona footballer Gerard Pique has overseen the transformation of the 119-year-old competition into a season-ending finals, which has led to heavy criticism from some.
While some ATP players have questioned the involvement of a footballer in the dismantling of a tennis tradition, Murray said he was "open to change" and urged everyone to give the new format a chance.
The three-time Grand Slam champion is one of three singles players in the British team alongside Dan Evans and Kyle Edmund, while Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski are the doubles specialists.
The Murray brothers have teamed up together to great success in the past, of course, notably during Britain's run to the the Davis Cup title in 2015.
"The singles and doubles - that would depend on the situation. Ideally I would want to avoid that," Murray told BBC Sport.
"Playing five matches in five days, best of three sets, that's obviously something we do regularly on the tour and I did it in Antwerp and felt OK at the end of that.
"If I had been playing doubles the same day as some of those singles matches in Antwerp, I would have really struggled the following day.
"So we just need to be mindful of that and think a little bit long term in this event."
Murray is ranked 126th in the world, behind 42nd-ranked Evans and 69th-ranked Edmund, meaning he will play as Britain's number two and leaving him facing the weaker singles player in the opposing team.
Brits 'let it go' as they drop in Frozen lyrics
The British squad, led by captain Leon Smith, arrived in the Spanish capital on Wednesday to continue their preparations and build camaraderie.
And they showed the spirit they have fostered at a news conference during which the players dropped lines from Disney movie Frozen into their answers.
When asked about the new format, Andy Murray starting by saying detractors "need to let it go", before Edmund added "fear will be the enemy" of the British team.
Evans continued the fun by saying he "can't hold it back anymore" and Skupski rounded off the questions by urging the team to "be the players we always have to be".

Edmund in line for new coach
Edmund, 24, is set to announce Argentine Franco Davin, who was with Juan Martin del Potro when he won the 2009 US Open, as his new coach.
The former British number one told BBC Sport they will train in Miami after the Davis Cup, with a view to working together next season.
Edmund has been without a coach since September, when Mark Hilton brought their partnership to a close.
"You never say 'I'm definitely going long term with him' because you have got to see how it goes. So we always say you have a bit of a trial, but you always look for it long term," Edmund said.
"With the experience he brings, and the quality, I'm excited to get going."

'A worry' Why Huddersfield Town will be fearful of Birmingham City
Birmingham City go to Huddersfield hoping to have discovered the secret of footballing alchemy during the international break, how to turn chances into goals
by Brian Dick, https://www.facebook.com/blueswriterbriandick/?fref=tsBirmingham City resume their Championship campaign on Saturday with a trip to rejuvenated Huddersfield Town.
The Terriers were little short of terrible at the start of the season after dropping out of the Premier League.
However, the Cowley brothers Danny and Nicky have steadied the listing ship and this weekends jaunt to the John Smith’s Stadium is rather more difficult than it might have been a couple of months ago.
Blues go there hoping to have discovered the secret of footballing alchemy during the international break, how to turn base goal-scoring chances into actual goals.
We spoke to Huddersfield’s ExaminerLive sports editor Mel Booth for an insight into what to expect.

You can follow our Blues reporter Brian Dick on Twitter, and his email address is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Have the Cowleys turned Huddersfield’s season around?
Most definitely. Town were careering towards a second successive relegation, having taken just one point from the opening six Championship matches, when the Cowley brothers were appointed.
Town had also suffered a miserable Carabao Cup exit at the hands of the Cowleys’ Lincoln City and confidence within the squad was completely shot.
Even though Town lost their first two matches under the Cowleys, leaving the club with a record of just one win in 35 matches, there were signs of improvement and that proved the case as they went on a seven-match unbeaten run, including four wins, to lift themselves out of the Championship relegation zone.
What have you made of Birmingham’s season so far?
Looking in from the outside, the biggest problem seems to be consistency for the Blues - it’s been win or lose pretty much throughout the campaign.
Those two away wins at Brentford and, particularly, high-riding Charlton stand out, however, and will be a worry to Town fans, especially with Birmingham looking to recover from successive defeats.
How can Huddersfield hurt Blues?
The obvious answer is to get the ball to Karlan Grant around the box.
The 22-year-old has been a revelation since signing from Charlton Athletic for £2m in January and he has bagged nine goals already this season in just 16 appearances.
Town also have pace out wide from Adama Diakhaby and, through the middle, from Juninho Bacuna, who has four goals in his last seven Championship outings, three of those while coming off the bench.
How can Blues get at Huddersfield?
Just watch the video of Preston North End’s 3-1 win over the Terriers last time out.
Town have lost Tommy Elphick from the centre of their defence because he’s had knee ligament surgery and Danny Cowley will have to wait for injury updates on full-backs Danny Simpson and Jaden Brown (who missed the game at Preston) before deciding on his back four.
Dutch international Terence Kongolo may well get the nod alongside Christopher Schindler, but Town have been put under plenty of pressure by teams with an aerial threat this season, so Lukas Jutkiewicz could be crucial.
How has Reece Brown been getting on?
He has played just once this season, in the disastrous Carabao Cup exit to Lincoln, when he was taken off after 77 minutes.
Has been playing regularly in the Elite Development Team and has been both assisting and scoring goals.
Danny Cowley says he likes Brown’s creativity and guile but adds that Brown “is trying to get into a place where he can cope with the athleticism and physicality of the Championship and that is something we are working hard on with him.”
Prediction time - what will be the result and why?
Town are unbeaten in their last four home games so I am going for Town 2 Birmingham City 1.
That goes against the excellent record Birmingham have at the John Smith’s Stadium - does anyone still remember that Town FA Cup win in 2008 or Ian Bennett letting in three back in 1996?
I’m going for the Cowley factor to turn that record around.
