A Function definition which can either represent a init or an update definition.
A function may have different definitions due to specialization, which are stored in 'specializations' (Not possible from the front-end, but some scheduling directives may potentially cause this divergence to occur). Although init definition may have multiple values (RHS) per specialization, it must have the same LHS (i.e. same pure dimension variables). The update definition, on the other hand, may have different LHS/RHS per specialization. Note that, while the Expr in LHS/RHS may be different across specializations, they must have the same number of dimensions and the same pure dimensions.

quartz
Cron triggers, job scheduling and async processing via Quartz.
dependency
<dependency>
<groupId>org.jooby</groupId>
<artifactId>jooby-quartz</artifactId>
<version>1.6.6</version>
</dependency>
usage
import org.jooby.quartz.Quartz;
...
{
use(new Quartz().with(MyJob.class));
}
Previous example will startup Quartz and schedule MyJob.
jobs
A job can implement the Job
interface as described in the Quartz documentation
If you prefer to not implement the Job
interface, all you have to do is to annotated a method with the Scheduled
annotation.
By default, job name is set the class name or to the method name. Default group is set to the package name of the job class.
job methods
A job method must follow these rules:
- It must be a public method
- Without a return value
- Have ZERO arguments
- or just ONE argument of type
JobExecutionContext
The next section will you show how to add a trigger to a job and some examples too.
triggers
Trigger are defined by the Scheduled
annotation. The annotation defines a single and required attributes, which is basically a trigger expression or a reference to one.
Examples:
Run every 5 minutes, start immediately and repeat for ever:
@Scheduled("5m")
@Scheduled("5m; delay=0")
@Scheduled("5m; delay=0; repeat=*")
Previous, expressions are identical.
Run every 1 hour with an initial delay of 15 minutes for 10 times:
@Scheduled("1h; delay=15m; repeat=10")
Fire at 12pm (noon) every day:
0 0 12* ?
Fire at 10:15am every day:
0 15 10 ?*
It is also possible to put the name of property:
@Scheduled("job.expr")
grouping jobs together
If you have two or more jobs doing something similar, it is possible to group all them into one single class:
public class MyJobs {
@Scheduled("5minutes")
public void job1() {
...
}
@Scheduled("1h")
public void job2() {
...
}
}
dependency injection
Not much to add here, just let you know jobs are created by Guice.
public class MyJob {
private A a;
@Inject
public MyJob(A a) {
this.a = a;
}
@Scheduled("5minutes")
public void doWork() {
this.a.doWork();
}
}
Injecting a Scheduler
public class MyJobManager {
private Scheduler scheduler;
@Inject
public MyJobManager(Scheduler scheduler) {
this.scheduler = scheduler;
}
}
configuration
Example: Setting max number of threads
# default is number of available processors
org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = 1
Configuration follows the Quartz documentation. The only difference is that you need to put add the properties on your *.conf
file, NOT in a custom quartz.properties
file.
jdbc store
Jdbc Store is fully supported but it depends on the jooby-jdbc
module. So, in order to use the Jdbc Store you need to follow these steps:
1st. Install the Jdbc module:
{
use(new Jdbc());
use(new Quartz(MyJob.class));
}
2nd. Set the quartz properties:
org.quartz.jobStore.class = org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.JobStoreTX
org.quartz.jobStore.driverDelegateClass = org.quartz.impl.jdbcjobstore.StdJDBCDelegate
org.quartz.jobStore.dataSource = db
adding jobs programmatically
When Scheduled
isn’t not enough and/or if you prefer to build jobs manually, you can try one of the available alternatives.
Example 1: build the trigger and use default job naming
{
use(new Quartz()
.with(MyJob.class, trigger -> {
trigger
.withSchedule(withIntervalInDays(3))
.startAt(futureDate(10, MINUTES));
})
);
}
Example 2: build the job, the trigger and use default job naming
{
use(new Quartz()
.with(MyJob.class, (job, trigger) -> {
job.withDescription("etc...");
trigger
.withSchedule(withIntervalInDays(3))
.startAt(futureDate(10, MINUTES));
})
);
}
Example 3: build and set everything from scratch
{
use(new Quartz()
.with(
newJob(MyJob.class).withDescription("etc...")
.build(),
newTrigger()
.withSchedule(withIntervalInDays(3))
.startAt(futureDate(10, MINUTES))
.build()
})
);
}
quartz.conf
These are the default properties for quartz:
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceName = quartz
org.quartz.scheduler.instanceId = local
# thread pool
org.quartz.threadPool.threadNamePrefix = quartz
org.quartz.threadPool.threadCount = ${runtime.processors}
org.quartz.scheduler.skipUpdateCheck = true


MICKEY BLUE EYES (M). (Universal) Director: Kelly Makin Stars: Hugh Grant, James Caan, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Burt Young, James Fox, Joe Viterelli, Paul Lazar, John Ventimigillia Running time: 102 minutes.
It's easy to see what initially attracted Hugh Grant to this rather disappointing comedy. His character, an effete Englishman who becomes involved with the Mob, is familiar stuff, virtually a composite of most of the characters he has been playing since his breakthrough role in Four Weddings And A Funeral.
Grant plays Michael Felgate, an auctioneer with a British firm operating in New York. When he proposes to his girlfriend, local school teacher Gina (Jeanne Tripplehorn), he is disappointed when she tells him that she can't marry him. Her father (James Caan, best known for his role in the classic The Godfather) is a prominent gangster, and she doesn't want him becoming compromised by that world, where one small favour leads to another, and so forth. Michael convinces her that he will not be seduced by the mob and that he can refuse any offers they may care to make. But slowly, he finds himself drawn into their world. Before long, Michael finds that the auction house is being used by the mob for money laundering purposes. Complications set in when a mobster's son is accidentally murdered, and Michael finds himself pretending to be a tough gangster from Kansas. Eventually he is forced to co-operate with the FBI in order to survive a mob contract and get to the church on time.
Following other comedies that have dealt with the mob and its murderous ways and codes of honour (Married To The Mob and the recent Analyze This, etc), Mickey Blue Eyes is a second rate comedy that struggles for genuine laughs. Writers Adam Scheinman and Robert Kuhn lack any sense of irony, and squander many opportunities to send up the clichés of the genre. The film becomes less likeable, less credible and less funny as it unfolds. Canadian director Kelly Makin struggles to lift the lacklustre material, which moves along at an uneven pace.
The performances lack spark. Grant does his usual by the numbers performance for much of the film, but he is out of his depth when called upon to impersonate a gangster. Even Caan seems embarrassed here, and he struggles to milk as much ironic humour out of his comic portrayal of an archetypal gangster as De Niro did in the far superior Analyze This. James Fox is totally wasted as Grant's foppish boss.
Grant has established himself as a likeable star of light weight romantic comedies, and it will be interesting to see how his career fares after this disappointing and heavy handed farce. But, since he and girl friend Liz Hurley produced the film through their own production company, they have no-one to blame but themselves for this disaster.

TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! JULIE NEWMAR A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1995 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 5.4
United States, 1995 U.S. Availability: 9/8/95 (wide) Running Length: 1:48 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Profanity, mature themes) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
Cast: Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, John Leguizamo, Stockard Channing, Blythe Danner, Chris Penn Director: Beeban Kidron Producer: G. Mac Brown Screenplay: Douglas Carter Beane Cinematography: Steve Mason Music: Rachael Portman U.S. Distributor: Universal Pictures
Lately, cross-dressing has become big in the movies. Last year, England gave us JUST LIKE A WOMAN and Australia took us on THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT. This year, the United States has gotten into the act with the documentary WIGSTOCK and now TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! JULIE NEWMAR, the most oddly punctuated and strange-sounding motion picture title of the year (it refers to the inscription on a wall plaque in a restaurant). Unfortunately, the content of the film is greatly inferior to the title.
The story centers around two drag queens, Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze) and Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes), and their "drag princess" protege, Chi Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo, sounding exactly like Rosie Perez). In a rented Cadillac, the trio are on their way from New York to Hollywood to compete in the Miss Drag Queen America contest, but something goes wrong with the car somewhere west of Bala Cynwyd, in Hicksville, USA. There, while they wait a long weekend for their car to be repaired, Vida, Noxeema, and Chi Chi spend time teaching the women of the small town how to be women and convincing an abused wife (Stockard Channing) to stand up for herself.
 Perhaps, especially with names like Snipes and Swayze in the cast list, but this might have been a better test if the movie had been less bland. Except for the transvestite angle, this is essentially a run-of-the-mill feel good/happy ending comedy that becomes more tedious the longer it runs. There's a fair amount of effective humor here--mostly one-liners--but the drama is insubstantial. The overriding theme is to take chances and be yourself--not exactly original, nor is it driven home with any real conviction.
The three leads are obviously having a lot of fun, and it shows. The pleasure of watching these men in drag alone makes the first half- hour worthwhile, but the effect wears off and the lame story has trouble picking up the slack. The cameo list is interesting--Robin Williams, RuPaul, Naomi Campbell, Quentin Crisp, and (of course) Julie Newmar--but these faces provide only momentary diversions. TO WONG FOO is in desperate need of something a little less superficial.
Comparisons with THE ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA are natural, but, aside from the obvious, the films aren't that similar. PRISCILLA was great fun, loaded with the kind of outrageous energy missing from TO WONG FOO. The musical numbers here are a pale shadow of those in the Australian film. Frequently, when this movie should soar, it crashes to the ground with a dull thud.
There are a few moments worth remembering, chief of which is Noxeema's explanation of the differences between transvestites, transsexuals, and drag queens. There's also a wonderful bit where the three "girls" transform their dreary hotel room into a drag queen's paradise to the tune of "Wonder Woman." Scenes like these provide sporadic entertainment during TO WONG FOO. However, as a whole, this film--like the broken-down Caddy--may have style, but it lacks substance.

This is a pretty cool article describing some of the up-till-now secret sauce on the electric motorcycle project I've been working on with Chip Yates for the last few months. The article describes the front-wheel Kinetic Energy Recovery System that Chip designed in great detail. It has some cool pictures of the bike, and an awesome video that someone (ahem, yours truly) put together for the bike unveiling a few weeks ago.

% include ../partials/head %> <% include ../partials/css %>
<% include ../partials/navbar %>Our first task when we started this project was to implement a system which we could use to track the position of the pingpong ball. To do so, we used the OptiTrack system that was built into the Stanford Robotics Laboratory. This system was an easy choice since it had already been calibrated and provided data at an extremely fast rate (every few milliseconds). The only problem with this system is that the OptiTrack cameras only covered a limit range near our robot, so we did not get the full field of view that we wanted. After connecting to OptiTrack, we created a velocity filter that identified the pingpong ball moving in the proper frame of reference, removed any extraneous markers picked up by OptiTrack, and reduced noise in the OptiTrack readings.
The motion of the ping pong ball is modeled using basic kinematic equations. Using the ball's initial position and velocity, its motion is projected to the edge of the table where the KUKA IIWA is positioned to intercept. Initially for simulation, all collisions were considered 100% elastic. After incorporating OptiTrack to track the ping pong ball, these kinematic predictions were frequently updated using real time position and velocity measurements. An energy loss factor was added to the computations involving collisions based on experimental calibration.
In order to control where we redirect the ping pong ball after the swing we implemented an orientation controller to change the angle of the paddle. The robot has a simple orientation controller using the link immediately before the end effector as the base orientation reference. This configuration allows us to have control over the z-axis rotation of the end effector, which was all we needed for our current milestones. For future iterations, we would have the orientation controller use the base joint as the orientation reference so we could have control over all three degrees of rotation throughout the swing.
The paddle trajectory generation function limits the velocity and acceleration of our kuka arm. The ball prediction model specifies the anticipated position of the ball and the target position of the paddle. Using a paddle trajectory library built by Trosten Kruger, our program takes the current and target positions of the robot and constructs a time optimal path between the two points. This path is broken down into many short segments, with the length of those segments determined by velocity and acceleration limits. As the paddle approaches the end of one target segment, the next target segment is updated so the paddle continuously progresses along the path.
Some of the challenges that we faced included: limited workspace, limited vision, swing speed and timing, and interception accuracy. As for the limited workspace and vision, we compensated by using half of the table that fit within our constraints and limited our vision to only the appropriate area. As for the swing, we increased the stiffness of the robot to reduce the lag between the computer and the robot, added a followthrough stroke, and timed it such that we would hit the ball when it got within 0.3 seconds of the robot. Finally, we continuously tweaked the final orientation, predicted location, and timing to get the robot to accurately hit the ball within its sweet spot.
Team Kuka Pong is formed and begins planning and building a ping pong playing robot.
After initial testing and development, we will have a tracking system for the ping pong ball, results from our controller, and the KUKA should be able to intersect the trajectory.
Track ball position using Omnitrak vision system outputting position and velocity
Filter and smooth the position data
Predict ball trajectory
Move end effector with paddle to intercept the ball (orientation of paddle will not be accounted for yet)
We will have the KUKA return the ping pong ball from any part of the court.
Orient paddle for desired swing trajectory
Achieve desired swing velocity at impact
Create state machine to simplify control logic and for easier incremental development
Reset robot to neutral position
We will have a working demo where the Kuka robot will be able to play ping pong with a human. Some experimental features may include shot selection, human tracking, and a victory dance
Return ball to desired position
Successful volley (multiple returns)
The controller for Milestone 1 will be a task space controller with a position gain to act on the error between current position and the desired intercept point. These desired coordinated will be updated continuously as the ball’s predicted trajectory is updated. A required velocity will be calculated based on the predicted time of intercept between the paddle and the ball, which will be monitored by a damper to keep the velocity from exceeding hardware limits.
Move the kuka to a default position where the base and end effector are perpendicular and facing away from the ping pong table
Manually input coordinates of hypothetical ball positions and have the end effector reach the desired position without running into singularities or unstable motions
Input an XY trajectory and move the end effector to reach the trajectory within a certain time
Add a Z component to the trajectory affected by gravity and have the end effector reach a point on the new trajectory within a certain time
Move kuka end effector to coordinates with a specified orientation throughout the entire path. (paddle should always be perpendicular to the table)
Move end effector to reach coordinates at a specified time with a goal velocity

What Thanksgiving Recipes are Texans Searching For the Most?
by Tony KernsWith Turkey Day two weeks away, what recipes are you searching for? What do you think is the top recipe search for the state?
Using Google Trends, House Method compiled their list of the most searched main and desert dishes for the upcoming fall feast.
As the turkey is the main focal point for the meal, its understandable that it would be the most searched dish in the country, topping the list in nearly 1/5 of states, but not in Texas. For the Lonestar State, its all about the dressing.
On the desert side, it should come as no surprise that Texas and most of the states that searched for dressing were also searching for the best recipe for Pecan Pie.
What's your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Any new recipes you're trying out this year?

Nike Readies Corduroy-Covered Air Max Pack
Two Air Max 97s and two Air Max 98s, all dressed in colorful corduroy.
by Ross DwyerWith a holiday week upon us, Nike presents a corduroy-covered pack of Air Max silhouettes that’s made up of two Air Max 97s and two Air Max 98s. Colorful in nature, meticulous in construction and bold in figure, the pack brings back the pastel accents and textured uppers popularized by Sean Wotherspoon‘s hybrid Air Max 1/97, but flips the script just enough to create a new look.
First up are the streamlined duo of Air Max 97s: “Desert Sand” and “Light Blue.” Each presents a pastel palette that’s accented with earthy tan and brownish-grey hues, but applies it in a different fashion. The “Desert Sand” uses a punchy pink for the base and the aforementioned tans/greys for accents on the overlays, while the “Light Blue” uses earth tones for the base and a soft powder blue hue for accents on the mudguard. Each weaves more colorful detail into the tongue, heel tabs and small midfoot Swoosh. Both looks are completed by a midsole that matches the mudguard, encasing the full-foot Air Max cushioning unit.
Meanwhile, the Air Max 98 uses its more bulky, blocky upper to provide a look that teeters in between urban lifestyle and the rugged backcountry ethos of Nike ACG. The “Thunder Grey” equips a rich blue base with earthy accents, using a pink tongue and minty green Swooshes for contrast. The “Amber Rise” is more autumnal, using a heavy dose of pastel oranges and pinks to bring rustic flair to its tan base layer. Dark EVA foam midsoles with corresponding Air Max units wrap things up for both pairs.
The Nike Sportswear “Corduroy” pack will release on Nike SNKRS Japan come November 30. The MSRP is set at ¥20,900 (approximately $192 USD) for each pair.
Elsewhere in the world of Nike, the brand is reportedly teaming with Chitose Abe‘s sacai for a PEG Vaporfly SP collaboration.

Build Robust & Production Quality Applications - Lesson 8: Beyond MVC - Domain Objects
12 Jul 2015Policy Objects
Are objects that are within the domain object model. Not all of them inherit from active record though, often times they do not always map to database tables.
For important attributes, it may be worth it to create a seperate domain object rather than calling an object to access that attribute.
#apps/controllers/todos_controller.rb
def create
@todo = Todo.new(params[:todo)]
if @todo.save_with_tags
user.created_at < Date.new(2013, 1, 1) || user.plan.premium?
new_credit_balance = current_user.current_credit_balance - 1
else
new_credit_balance = current_user.current_credit_balance - 2
end
current_user.current_credit_balance = new_credit_balance
current_user.save
if new_credit_balance < 0
AppMailer.notify.insufficient_funds
elsif current_user.current_credit_balance < 10
AppMailer.notify_low_balance
end
redirect_to root_path
else
render :new
end
Let's create a domain called Credit:
#app/models/credit.rb
class Credit
attr_accessor :credit_balance, :user
def initialize(user)
@credit_balance = user.current_credit_balance
@user = user
end
def -(number)
credit_balance = credit_balance - number
end
def save
user.current_credit_balance = credit_balance
user.save
end
def depleted?
credit_balance < 0
end
def low_balance?
credit_balance < 10
end
end
Now let's update the Todos Controller:
#apps/controllers/todos_controller.rb
def create
@todo = Todo.new(params[:todo)]
credit = Credit.new(current_user)
if @todo.save_with_tags
if UserLevelPoicy.new(ccurent_user).premium?
credit = credit - 1
else
credit = credit - 2
end
credit.save
if credit.depleted? < 0
AppMailer.notify.insufficient_funds
elsif credit.low_balance?
AppMailer.notify_low_balance
end
redirect_to root_path
else
render :new
end


Many people go through life without ever picking up the skills they would like to learn. Resources are abundant but may not be sufficient for your needs. Sometimes you really just want to get in touch with someone else familiar with the craft, but finding help nearby can be difficult. For all you know, your next door neighbor is already masterfully skilled and willing to help! We aim to help you connect with other enthusiasts nearby.
Meet Neighbors
Make Friends
Aqcuire Skills
You have just moved to Ballard. You have completed making your avatar on Neighborly and adding the following interests and skills to your profile: cooking and photography. You don’t know anyone in this area yet and want to introduce yourself to a neighbor with a mutual interest.
Once we came across the idea of tackling this issue, we knew we would need to get in touch with people actually interested in a potential solution. The idea was not to design for ourselves; it was to design for learners and teachers in the real world. That is why we sought out a guitarist, a tutor, and a sewer for interviews.
The interviews proved quite helpful in exposing issues we had not considered beforehand. Trust was a top priority for each individual. If we intended to connect neighbors who had never met, everyone needs to feed safe to learn and enjoy themselves. Skill level also turned out to be important to manage. Students want to know that their instructors are up for the challenge of leading. Lastly it was clear that we needed to be ready for a variety of compensation forms. Some people need monetary compensation while others are in it for the fun, so we needed to allow variation. With our newfound insights in mind, we constructed specific tasks to focus on and moved toward prototyping potential solutions.
Many different solutions came up in our brainstorming process. A mobile application seemed to be most appropriate for our needs, but we realized there were a lot of directions we could go with an app. We were ultimately led to a hybrid of several of our ideas in a proximity based social networking app with avatars in community rooms. We believed it would be a fun solution to the problem, but we couldn’t really know until we testing the theory.
Our user testing pushed us to rapidly iterate on our design. With each session we found new problems and considered potential solutions. The process proved fruitful and led to a significantly more useful design in the end. We’re confident the application will start many friendships and create many masters.

How to use this book
The online book is a series of small, bite-size sections that are intended to be read in order from the start to the end. Sections typically depend on most or even all of the previous sections having been read. Jumping around is pointless and likely frustrating.
The book is self-contained and could be read without access to a system. In particular, examples of interactions with the J system show both what you enter and how the system responds. However, it is intended to be read with access to a system and with as much use of a system along with the book as possible. It is strongly recommended that you eventually type in all the examples and play around as much as you can with variations on them.
Sometimes a section uses terms and concepts that aren't defined until later. This requires you to proceed with a soft understanding the first time through that becomes more concrete on a second reading.
This book is probably best read by reading it three times:
- Skim the whole book. Try some examples, but it is better to just plow on and get the big picture.
- The second time read it carefully and try all the examples.
- The third time try your own examples to clarify your understanding and to increase your comfort with the mechanics of actually using the system (instead of just reading about it and following instructions).

GETTIMEOFDAY
Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (2)Updated: 2009-03-25
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
gettimeofday, settimeofday - get / set timeSYNOPSIS
#include <sys/time.h> int gettimeofday(struct timeval *tv, struct timezone *tz); int settimeofday(const struct timeval *tv, const struct timezone *tz);Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
DESCRIPTION
The functions gettimeofday() and settimeofday() can get and set the time as well as a timezone. The tv argument is a struct timeval (as specified in <sys/time.h>):
struct timeval { time_t tv_sec; /* seconds */ suseconds_t tv_usec; /* microseconds */ };
and gives the number of seconds and microseconds since the Epoch (see time(2)). The tz argument is a struct timezone:
struct timezone { int tz_minuteswest; /* minutes west of Greenwich */ int tz_dsttime; /* type of DST correction */ };
If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not set or returned.
The use of the timezone structure is obsolete; the tz argument should normally be specified as NULL. The tz_dsttime field has never been used under Linux; it has not been and will not be supported by libc or glibc. Each and every occurrence of this field in the kernel source (other than the declaration) is a bug. Thus, the following is purely of historic interest.
The field tz_dsttime contains a symbolic constant (values are given below) that indicates in which part of the year Daylight Saving Time is in force. (Note: its value is constant throughout the year: it does not indicate that DST is in force, it just selects an algorithm.) The daylight saving time algorithms defined are as follows :
DST_NONE /* not on dst */
DST_USA /* USA style dst */
DST_AUST /* Australian style dst */
DST_WET /* Western European dst */
DST_MET /* Middle European dst */
DST_EET /* Eastern European dst */
DST_CAN /* Canada */
DST_GB /* Great Britain and Eire */
DST_RUM /* Rumania */
DST_TUR /* Turkey */
DST_AUSTALT /* Australian style with shift in 1986 */
Of course it turned out that the period in which Daylight Saving Time is in force cannot be given by a simple algorithm, one per country; indeed, this period is determined by unpredictable political decisions. So this method of representing timezones has been abandoned. Under Linux, in a call to settimeofday() the tz_dsttime field should be zero.
Under Linux there are some peculiar "warp clock" semantics associated with the settimeofday() system call if on the very first call (after booting) that has a non-NULL tz argument, the tv argument is NULL and the tz_minuteswest field is non-zero. In such a case it is assumed that the CMOS clock is on local time, and that it has to be incremented by this amount to get UTC system time. No doubt it is a bad idea to use this feature.
Macros for operating on timeval structures are described in timeradd(3).
RETURN VALUE
gettimeofday() and settimeofday() return 0 for success, or -1 for failure (in which case errno is set appropriately).ERRORS
- EFAULT
- One of tv or tz pointed outside the accessible address space.
- EINVAL
- Timezone (or something else) is invalid.
- EPERM
- The calling process has insufficient privilege to call settimeofday(); under Linux the CAP_SYS_TIME capability is required.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.3BSD. POSIX.1-2001 describes gettimeofday() but not settimeofday(). POSIX.1-2008 marks gettimeofday() as obsolete, recomending the use of clock_gettime(2) instead.NOTES
Traditionally, the fields of struct timeval were of type long.

- Sun SPARC Enterprise T5140 500MB+ Storage - sparc test zone server
Contributing Code
Your first step in getting involved with software development for the OpenSolaris project should be to join the Discussions and Communities already taking place. After you get a sense for what work is being done by others and a better idea of what you'd like to do, you can search the bug database for bugs/RFEs you want to work on and to see if someone else is already working on an idea you've had.Some "bite-sized" bugs have been identified by the Solaris engineers. These bugs are small and self-contained, and we hope that they will be interesting to work on. To find them, search for oss-bite-size bugs.
If you have an idea for a new feature, or have found a interesting bug, you can file a bug/RFE using the "Report a Bug" form on http://bugs.opensolaris.org/, and others can work on the bug/RFE. If you want to work on the bug/RFE you filed, indicate that when you file it. Then send email to request-sponsor AT opensolaris DOT org describing the bug/RFE and a sponsor will volunteer to help you through the initial development processes.
If you want to work on an existing bug/RFE, contribution information is available on the request-sponsor table. Sun sponsors can watch this table to see what contributions are awaiting a sponsor. Contributors should check this table before starting work on a bug/RFE to see if someone has already submitted a fix for it. Contributors can also send email to request-sponsor AT opensolaris DOT org to ask for confirmation that no Sun engineer is already working on the bug/RFE.
When sending email to request-sponsor AT opensolaris DOT org request a sponsor, include the following information in your email:
- Bug/RFE ID
- Synopsis
- Your full name
- Number assigned to your Sun Contributor Agreement (see information below about submitting a Sun Contributor Agreement)
When it comes to actually contributing code -- from community members inside and outside of Sun -- you must complete the following high-level phases. The number of steps represented in these phases will vary depending on the size and complexity of the change.
- Development/Implementation
- Test
- Documentation changes (if needed)
Please note that the OpenSolaris project is following the lead of other open source projects -- requiring contributors to jointly assign their copyright on contributed code. The Sun Contributor Agreement (SCA) gives Sun and the contributor joint copyright interests in the code: the contributor retains copyrights while also granting those rights to Sun as the open source project sponsor. The SCA is applicable to all products and projects owned or managed by Sun: signing it once means you can contribute code to any Sun-sponsored open source project. More detail, and the SCA itself, is available on the Sun Contributor Agreement page.
Refer to the Initial Development Processes document for detailed steps.
Documentation
The long term goal of Sun's Information Products department is to open source its Solaris feature documentation. In the interim, a Documentation community has been set up to broaden the involvement in this initiative.In order to contribute to future OpenSolaris feature documentation, you will need to work through a sponsor. To obtain a sponsor, send a request through the OpenSolaris documentation discussion.
Testing
Test development, frameworks, and execution are all important aspects of high quality software engineering efforts. We've set up a Testing community devoted to discussing and planning initiatives such as:Join the community to help define the test strategy and contribute tests for the OpenSolaris project and code base.

1. Getting Started
Fraction.less can be used in a ton of different ways easily:
- As a framework for building out static sites
- As the base for your web framework's view files and assets
- You can use just the stylesheets, tear them up, then just use the grid or typography styles, or all of them
- As the starting point for your own more fully-featured, better-than-Bootstrap front-end framework (Hint: it's already better than Bootstrap)
No matter how you use it, getting started is easy. Just download or clone the repository, unzip, and start building:
- Download the project or clone into a new folder with
git clone https://github.com/billpatrianakos/Fractionless-Boilerplate.git my_site && cd $_
- You'll need Grunt and Bower to use the included build tasks and resources. Install with
npm install -g bower grunt-cli
- To use the build tasks install the required packages from npm with
npm install && bower install
- Start up a local server by running
grunt develop
(or justgrunt
for those who like brevity)

Chapter 74 - CHALLENGES AND TRIALS I HAVE FACED DURING MY LIFETIME
.
· Health problems I’ve had or still have:
1. Scoliosis - My back hurts most of the time and sometimes it hurts pretty severe, especially my lower back and neck as I have an S curve and when my neck goes out, my lower back does and vice versa. I’ve gone to chiropractors most of my life and that has really helped along with exercise. Dr Dale Bennett helped me a lot and when he took my x-rays to the Palmer College of Chiroprictic for a conference and showed them to his colleges, they asked how I even got around. He told them I did great! And I do. Deanna Davis helped me the most. I met her in about 2012. I went to Jenny Porter for a class and she had Deanna tell about her massage treatments. I went to her and she “saved me” from what would have been severe pain with my scoliosis causing my body to pull to the right. It was starting to do that and had I not found her, in ten years she said I couldn’t have gotten help and I would be bowed to the right and in so much pain & misery. I know the Lord blessed me to find her. She took so many classes and had a gift. Hers was not the “feel good” massage, but the deep massage, like Randy does, but she was much better than he was. I loved talking to her as she was such a good person and had such knowledge, skill and perception. I have a friend in the Monte Vista Ward (we moved here in November 2014), who had this same problem. She is about 10 years younger than me and when I met her, she was severely bowed to the right and it was so painful for her and she kept falling and having problems. The doctor finally told her that she needed to have the rods put down her spine. She did, and she has had problems ever since with terrible health conditions. She is on lots of medications so that her mind doesn’t work clearly most of the time. She is in the hospital or rehab most of the time now and I wouldn’t be surprised if she doesn’t pass away within a short time. We home taught her (Evelyn Hilton) and her husband, Harold from the time we moved here.
2. I had High blood pressure and was on blood pressure medication for several years. It started when I was working as the secretary for Staff Development at Davis School District, at least that is when my blood pressure would always be high when I went in for my checkups with Dr. Johnson. He had me go get it checked at different days and different times and it was always high, so he put me on the medication to bring it down – and it did, but in 2010 our nutritionist, Nancy Litchford did a scan on both Ken and I and said we were allergic to Gluten and Dairy and we shouldn’t eat sugar. Ken was already on a strict diet with his yeast overgrowth problem, he wasn’t able to eat sugar and mainly vegetables, chicken, fish & some fruit, so we took away gluten & dairy too. I lost so much weight that I called up Nancy and told her that I only weighed 108 now and I was too thin. I asked her what I could eat to put on some weight and not keep losing and she said to eat avocados. I didn’t like them at the time, but I have learned to like them, and it worked. We went down to visit Shellie, Roy & family in Arizona soon after and I took my blood pressure machine with me. I didn’t have much energy and didn’t feel the best, so I took my blood pressure and it was pretty low, instead of high. I checked it different times and it was always low, so I quit taking my blood pressure medication. I went to Dr. Lee soon after we got back and told him about it. He checked it and said “Good, don’t take the medication, I guess your diet has brought it down.”
3. Fibromyalgia and restless legs – I had lots of pain in my body and my legs and feet were driving me crazy. I got an appointment with Nancy Litchford and after talking to her, she asked me different questions and I answered them in the affirmative. She said I’m sure you have Fibromyalgia and restless leg syndrome. She had me take some nutrients, but I still suffered with it. I remember sitting on the couch visiting with people and my legs were so jumpy and nervous that I had to keep moving my feet and legs and I thought I would go nuts. I couldn’t sleep well at night because I would lie on one side and my hips would hurt so bad, I would have to change to the other side. I finally found that sleeping on my back was the best even though that was not the way I had slept all my life. After Ken and I had been on the gluten free, dairy free and sugar free diet for a few months, I noticed that I didn’t have the pain in my body and the nervousness in my feet and legs, like I did before. The diet had helped so much. I wish I could eat the way I used to, but it is worth it to get rid of these health problems.
4. I have hay fever & allergies, so I go through lots of Kleenex. I am sneezing and wiping my nose so much of the time. I take some medication and it helps.
5. I have dry skin with cracking fingers & knuckles, especially in the winter. We found a good cream titled “Working Hands & Feet” which help a lot.
6. Poor circulation with bad veins in my legs. I have never been able to stand for any period of time, so it’s good that I loved being a secretary, instead of a resale clerk, a beautician, and work in other places where I would need to be on my feet. Our son, David, became a PA in Dermatology and suggested I buy some Dansko shoes, which he and many doctors and nurses wear. I wanted some, so I picked out a nice black pair and our children gave me money to pay for them for my Mother’s Day gift in 2015. I still wear them almost every day and love them. They really help my feet and legs. David has the same problem and was told about these shoes when he was in school.
7. Infection in eyes at times. Prior to going on our mission to the Philippines, I had several bouts of infection in my eyes and they would really burn. I went to the eye doctor and he gave me a prescription for some antibiotic drops to put in my eyes. They helped, and I took them with me on our mission. After we were home and I had run out of them and still had burning in my eyes at times (it might have been allergies now) I sprayed my eyes with colloidal silver and that helped a lot.
8. Bad teeth which resulted in spending tons of time and money in the dentist chairs. I was glad when I finally prayed about getting dentures and felt good about doing it. I hadn’t wanted to before as my dentists and specialist who treated my periodontal disease told me not to as I would really regret it and my gums would get irritated and get worse. I was going to my dentist every 6 months and my periodontal specialist every 6 months at one time – so you can see I spent lots of money. My gums got better, thank goodness. The straw that broke the camel’s back and made me decide to pray about dentures was when the dentist, I was going to at the time, and he had already worked on my teeth to the cost of over $1,000, told me that my bridge on the left of my upper teeth was gone as were the teeth under it and I would need to have “posts” put in which would cost $1,000 for each post. Also, my caps on my front two teeth had to be replaced, he said and the tooth he had been doing a root canal on and couldn’t find the last canal would need to have more work done and then a crown. Anyway, I could see I couldn’t afford to have all this done. Ken had wanted me to get dentures years ago because of the cost and pain with my teeth. I talked to Banita, Uncle June’s 3rd wife, and she said she loved her dentures (she had had teeth like mine). I talked to a neighbor when I found out she had dentures and they were beautiful and she loved them, so told me to go to Dr. Gray in Kaysville. I did, and he realized that I should have top dentures, but not the bottom. I have loved them.
9. I had a hernia & then operation to have it removed when we were living in Era. I had the operation at the LDS Hospital in Salt Lake. At that time, the doctors used to have you come to the hospital the night before the operation. My doctor came in to see me and asked how I was doing and if there was anything that he should know about that might be going on in my body that might prevent this operation. I mentioned a rash that itched which was on my back. He looked at it and said, “You are not going to be operated on in the morning, you have “shingles”. I called Ken and he had to come get me and we had to reschedule the operation. The shingles were not terrible, like Ken’s mom and many others have; they just mainly itched and burned some. They finally cleared up and I went in for the operation. They gave me a spinal for the anesthetic, and neither the doctor, nor the anesthesiologist told me to stay down and not move around for the 3 days I was in the hospital, which I found out later, I should have done. In fact, the doctor came in to check me later that day an asked how I was feeling. I told him I was feeling good, so he told me I could get up and go to the restroom whenever I needed to – so I did. The next morning, he came in again to check me and asked how I was doing. I told him, great! He said “Good! Then you can get up and move around more and walk the halls”. So, I did, in fact, I stopped in the rooms and visited with other patients and went to the gift shop, etc. When I got home, I got spinal headaches which were so bad that I had to lie on the couch and not move. Mom & dad came to help take care of the family. Dad brought me his dramatized church history tapes which helped me so much. It hurt so bad to even move my head a little and it was practically torture, to get up and go to the bathroom. Mom talked to her friend, who was a nurse about it and that is when she said “What, they didn’t tell her to lie quiet and let the hole in the spine close up.” She told mom that by my getting up and walking around, it let air go in the hole and caused these terrible spinal headaches. I sure wasn’t happy with the doctor and anesthesiologist when I found that out.
10. I had 5 miscarriages, one before Sandi, two between Sandi and Shellie and one after losing little Amy. I lost these four at three months along. The hardest being our little Amy who died when I was 7 months along. She had water on the brain. We were living in Arizona when I got pregnant. I didn’t feel much life, like I had with the other babies, so I asked the doctor about it and he said not to worry as she was just a petite little gal. When we moved to Grantsville and I went to an obstetrician in Salt Lake, he couldn’t get a heartbeat and said the baby was dead. I was so sad. I had been worried, when I got pregnant, about having another baby as we had moved to Arizona the 2nd time since Larry Braithwaite had convinced us that the building industry was booming, but a few months later a recession hit again, and Ken didn’t have the work that he needed, and I was worried about another mouth to feed and how we could afford this baby. The baby wasn’t planned, in fact, I had a birth control coil inserted after having Jeff. But after we found out we would be moving to Grantsville for Ken to manage the Grantsville Stake Farm, I wasn’t worried anymore and was excited to have another baby, especially since it was a girl. Anyway, they had me come in and they checked my blood every few days. That was also hard because they supposed that she would have shriveled up since I carried her for almost a month before they had me come to the hospital and induce her. They didn’t give me any pain killer, just the medicine to induce me. I asked if they were not going to give me anything for the pain and the doctor said “No, we don’t need to.” Well, she came breach and her head was huge, so it was terribly painful, and I went into shock. I was freezing and shaking so hard. They piled warm blankets on me, but it took quite a while for me to get over it. When I went into the obstetrician, for my 3-month checkup, he told me that I was in great shape for a 40-year-old and that I should try to have another baby. Since Ken, the children and I were disappointed that I lost this baby, I did get pregnant again, but I lost it at 3 months. Again, I went in for my checkup and again he told me that I should try again to have a baby. I was upset that he would even suggest such a thing now and I told him “If I got pregnant again and lost it, you would lose me. You don’t know how hard this has been on me and my family to lost both these babies. No thanks, I will raise the 6 I have.”
11. I have had incontinence for some time, so have had to wear pads for several years. That isn’t fun, but mom had it and it appears that many older people do, especially women. My one obstetrician told me he could write me out a prescription for some medicine that would help it, but I hate taking medications as they usually always have side effects, and I would have to take the pills the rest of my life.
12. I had tendonitis for 3 months in one arm and then it went to both of them which was so painful I couldn’t sleep or hardly do anything. I thought I would go nuts. We were living with Ken’s mom and she had to do practically everything as I couldn’t do much. I couldn’t even do my hair. It was a hard time. Mom & dad took me to people they thought could help me, but no help until someone told me about Dr. Dale Bennett in Layton, who is a chiropractor. After one treatment, it was relieved some so now I had some hope and after 3 treatments, it was gone. Wow, was I ever relieved as I thought I might have to live with it the rest of my life and if so, I would not have a very good quality of life as I wouldn’t be able to take care of my family and hardly even me.
13. Not being able to sleep at night. Some nights I can go right to sleep & sleep most of the night, but other nights I lay awake for 1 or 2 hours and finally get up and type on the computer (like I am doing now) or read. I go from my bed, to the guest room bed, to a recliner in the living room.  I’ve tried low doses of a sleeping pill Georgia takes & told me about, but it doesn’t help. Jeanenne told me she takes liquid Melatonin, but it doesn’t seem to help much either. I asked Lorraine at the health store and she sold me a bottle of homeopathic pills for sleeplessness & mental anxiety. It helps some, but not always (it didn’t tonight). Some nights I am so tired that I am sure I will go right to sleep, but sleep doesn’t come. Getting old isn’t so fun. I have to get up anywhere from 2 to 7 times a night to go to the bathroom, that isn’t fun either. Sometimes I can’t go back to sleep, but most times I can. Jenny Porter, who is a homeopathic practitioner, has helped me. As she has scanned my body, she found that my thyroid isn’t working normally and that has caused me to not sleep well and also my energy level is low. She has given me pills to help my thyroid and that has helped me to sleep better and feel more energy. Sometimes I feel that these pills are getting used to my body, so don’t help as much. Thyroid problems are in our family. Mom had it and even had to have her guarder removed. Bryce & Georgia have this problem and are taking medication for it.
14. I don’t have the energy I wish I had, especially when I am tending grandchildren. Even though I have taken calcium, magnesium and other vitamins for a long time, gone to chiropractors, walked & did stretch exercises, I still struggle with it. I went to Jenny Porter, who is a homeopathic practitioner; she did a scan on me and found that my thyroid wasn’t functioning like it should. She had asked me if I had much energy and if I slept well. I told her no, that I didn’t sleep well, and I didn’t have much energy. She gave me (I paid for them) some drops, and they have helped. Thyroid problems run in our family. Mom had thyroid problems and had a goiter which had to be removed.  With Jenny’s drops, it cleared it up for the time being. A few years later I needed to take these drops again, but they aren’t expensive, and they work.
15. Osteoporosis, the pre-stage of it, in my right hip and it sure bothers me. I sure hope I don’t get it like my mother and her mother had it, but I might. Mom had it much worse than grandma, but Mom lived thirteen years longer than Grandma Bushnell. I’m starting to understand a little of what Mom went through. My back hurts so bad that many times I have to lay down flat on the floor and it sure hurts when I do, but after laying there for a while & doing some stretch exercises, it helps. I remember seeing Mom doing that when she was about my age or younger. It is now 2016 and I do have Osteoporosis. I have lost over 4 inches. Most of my life I was 5’5 ½ “, but now I am only 5’1 ¼ “. The doctor wants me to take Fosamax and has given me a prescription. I got the pills, but haven’t taken them yet as I have read the side effects and don’t like them. I would have to take this the rest of my life too. The doctor explained that if I fell and broke my hip or back then it would be a lot worse than taking these pills, but I have talked to others who say they haven’t help them and others who have said they did cause side effects – so we’ll see if I end up taking them or not. I have shrunk 3 ½ inches. I used to be 5’5 ½ “, but now I am 5’2”. My lower back and hips hurt a lot, but I do my exercises each morning and that helps, plus both Ken and I use a roller. Ken calls it a log. It is round, long, foam log. We roll on it and it really helps. Randy told me about it. It is now 2017 and I have shrunk another ½ “. I don’t have much of a waist anymore and I have a stomach, which I’m not happy with, but the flesh has to go somewhere when you have shrunk 4 inches. David is upset that I am not taking Fosamax as he says if I don’t, my bones will keep breaking and it will be too late for medications to help me and I will be in a lot of pain. (December 2017) He said what Dr. Flinders said about if I should fall and break my hip or back, then it is a “death sentence”. I know this happens, so it scared me, and I told him I would make an appointment with Dr. Flinders after the 1st of the year, and get a bone scan, and do what Dr. Flinders tells me to do. He was glad to hear that
Well I have had health problems, and still do, but nothing like most people my age, and I am surely grateful for my health and those who have helped me throughout my life and my parents who were health conscious, especially my dad, and the good genes I have.
