Overview and General Terminology
Bits & Pieces (B&P) interface (Fig. 1) consists of
work area
, on lower left side which is called
organizer
(red)
.
On the right side
of the view is located
toolbar
(green)
. Toolbar consists of
control
tabs
, that allow to see and manipulate specific information about the items in B&P. Toolbar has 4 control tabs: “Activity Stream”, “Search”, “Bit” and “Episode info”.
Menu
(yellow)
is at the top on the left side.
T
he
timeline
(blue) allows to locate items, called
Bits
, appears immediately under the menu and above the organizer
.
Now and later, all new, specific terminology of B&P will appear in bold-typeface while being explained first time.

Figure 2. Login procedure
The login screen will open and credentials will be asked as depicted above: Fig.2. After first login the empty view will open and creating of new
episode
will be asked: Fig.3.
Figure 3. Initial view
After creating first episode the view of empty episode will appear as shown on Figure 4. The
episode
expresses how the concepts are organized.
At upper right corner are located
help button
(?) and
affect button
(heart) (Figure 5). The help button will open this user manual in a separate tab. The affect button is used for testing purposes, it allows the user to express his/her emotions during the use of B&P. Affect button leads to quick, 3-question
survey, after completing the survey, the usage can be continued. Please, feel free to provide this valuable information whenever You wish!

VIDEO FAQ
Episodes
The use of B&P is based on
Episodes.
An episode reflects the mapping of user’s concepts, thus allowing to organize them and help to make sense of collected bits. Episode consists of
timeline and organizer. Timeline contains bits, collected from Evernote. Every new episode will already include all bits, collected by active user.
Organizer is the screen area for editing the concepts.
New episodes can be created via: Menu>Create New Episode.
Unlimited number of episodes can be created
. The episodes can be deleted via red x by the episode name. Confirmation is needed before deleting the episode. Deleting can not be undone. Episodes can be selected for viewing and editing one at a time.

VIDEO FAQ
Timeline
Timeline shows the bits in time.
Bits
represent the instances of information on timeline. Bits appear on timeline as the notes on user’s Evernote account, created with Evernote application. However, B&P allows to create a placeholder which behaves on the timeline similarly
to the bits.
Placeholder
is an instance of information on timeline, created in B&P itself. Placeholder behaves similarly to a normal bit, but it exists only in B&P, not in Evernote. Placeholder has a name and description. Description is a text which can contain
up to 10000 characters. Placeholder can be created via “Menu > Create New Placeholder”, where the name and description will be added. Refreshing the browser may be needed to show newly created placeholder. Placeholder will have a
location in timeline, according to its creation time. Placeholders name and description can be changes similarly to bits attributes. Placeholder can not be deleted and its time can not be changed.
NB! All bits on the timeline are displayed from Social Semantic Server, not directly from Evernote. Server synchronizes with evernote every hour, meaning, that freshly created notes will not immediately become bits on the timeline!
Timeline can be navigated via zooming and moving. The extent of timeline is from the end of current year back to 2 previous years. Zooming range is limited from 1 hour to 1 year.
Timeline functionality:
-
Zooming the timeline can be done by mouse wheel or 2-finger gestures on touch-pad.
-
Moving back and forth in time can be done by grabbing the timeline with mouse or on touch-pad.
-
Bits are organized (gathered) into
bu
ndles according to it’s appearance time. If timeline is zoomed out then neighbouring bits that are located too close to each other, will appear as single bundle, with an indication of number of bits, it contains. Content of bundles can be
extracted by clicking on it and closed again by clicking on x-symbol on left side. Second option to extract a bundle is to zoom timeline out, until the bits will appear apart enough to be displayed separately.
-
Selecting the bit: click on bit. Bits can be selected only one at a time
, no multiple selection.
-
Opening the bit in Evernote web-browser application can be done by double clicking on the bit. As a bit can contain different type of data(picture, document, link, etc.), it will then open depending on data type, according to web browser configuration.
In case it is a weblink, it will open in new window. For downloadable files, the target will be downloaded according to browser configuration.
-
Jumping to desired date can be done by selecting a date from pop-up calendar at upper left of timeline.
VIDEO FAQ
Organizer
Concepts
are circles or “bubbles” in organizer area that are used to organize the information, represented by bits. When bits are moved into circle, they snap to that circle. Moving the circle moves all of its content. Deleting the circle
erases it’s content.
-
Creating a concept - double click in organizing view, initial names (e.g Concept1) are given.
-
Selecting a concept - click on a concept
-
Deleting a concept - use del or backspace key.
-
Labeling (renaming) concept- click on concept’s name and edit in appearing window.
-
Moving the concept label - drag the label. The label can be moved in limited proximity around the circle and anywhere inside the circle.
-
Manipulating the circle - Click on circle and resize it by dragging from the corner. Move the circle by dragging it.
-
(Re-)arranging Bits / Transferring them from timeline into organizer - Drag and Drop corresponding Icons. Bits can be dragged to organizer from timeline or also directly from search results. It is possible to have several instances of the same bit
in organizer. Bits can be selected only one at a time.
-
Removing a bit from concept: select a bit and use delete or backspace key. NB! Removing a bit from concept does not delete it from timeline!
-
(Re-)arranging concepts - Drag and drop it.
-
Circles can overlap. The bits in overlapping area belong to both circles, allowing to connect the circles. Circles with overlapping content are locked to each other and can't be moved separately, though, overlapping circles can be resized. To
unlock them remove bits from overlapping area.
Toolbar
Toolbar can be used to manipulate properties of bits, to proceed the search and organize the episodes. Toolbar is initially hidden and will slide open by clicking on little mark at center of right edge Fig 6.
Figure 6. Toolbar in “hidden” position
Figure 7. Toolbar in “open” position, with activity stream tab visible.
-
Activity Stream
tab (Fig. 7) contains episode activities. Activity stream indicates all activities concerning current episode. Following notification icons are available:
-
Addition (icon: “+”)
-
adding a bit/ bits
-
adding a circle/circles and a respective label/labels
-
Deletion (icon: “-”)
-
deleting a bit/bits
-
deleting a circle/circles
-
Updating (icon: “i”)
-
changing a label/labels
-
Notifications about remote activities (icon “bell”)
Activity Stream allows to check, what activities will be shown. The label “show in toolbar” with three check boxes:
-
activities - shows user activities
-
recommendations - shows recommended bits
NB! To refresh the activities list use the refresh button above the activities view.
-
Search tab
(Fig. 8) uses the name, description or a tag of the bit and outputs the name of the bit in results box. The bit information can be viewed in bit properties tab by clicking on result. At the same time
the bit will be located on timeline
. Search works by hitting enter. NB!:
-
Searching simultaneously several tags returns a result which contain both tags (“AND”). The same happens when searching simultaneously tags and labels/descriptions. Exact phrase will be searched and the search IS NOT case sensitive.
Figure 8. Search tab
-
Bit properties
tab (Fig.9) shows the information about
the selected
bit. Only one bit can be selected at once. Bit properties tab opens automatically after the bit is selected. The bit properties tab allows:
-
Bit title
- edit bit title by entering new name into “Bit title” field
-
Bit description
- edit bit description by entering new name into “Bit description” field
-
Author
- displays the author name of selected bit
-
Date
- displays the date created of selected bit
-
Episodes
- displays the episodes, in which selected bit is being used. Clicking the episode name opens this episode.
-
Thumbnail
shows a visualisation of bit’s content
-
Importance
indicates and allows to change bit’s rating on 4p-scale. (“!” is default)
-
importance is public indicator, collaborators will see your assessment
-
importance can be changed by collaborators, it can not be locked by user
-
User’s
tags
allows to add new tag to the selected bit by entering the phrase into “add new tag” field. All assigned tags of selected bit
appear under the
“add new tag” field.
Tagging locations
: same as normal tagging, but with an asterisk “*” before the tag phrase. This feature can be used in Evernote and B&P e.g: *Paris, *New York, *Tallinn University
-
Recommended tags
display tag recommendations for selected bit. Adding a tag happens via clicking on the tag.
Figure 9. Bit tab.
-
Episode properties
tab (Figure 10 right) indicates the active episode. It has following functionality:
-
Episode Title
- displays the title of active episode and allows to edit it.
-
Episode description
- displays the description of active episode and allows to edit it.
-
Share the episode
- includes two types of sharing. Both cases have the window “Share with”, allowing to type in the name of the user to share with. Existing usernames, matching the phrase, will be displayed as the typing was started. To complete
sharing, the “Share” button must be pressed.
-
Sharing for co-editing
allows to s
hare the episode among other users for co-editing or as a separate copy.
-
Sharing as separate copy
allows to share only selected bits. Selecting these bits can be done in additional window which opens after check box “selected bits” is checked. Concepts (circles) and Entities (bits or placeholders) can be selected for inclusion
via clicking.
-
Search the episodes -
allows to search the episodes user has access, either owned or shared, by its names. This is useful when having many episodes to control.
-
My Episodes
-
Select the episodes from the list
activates this episode. NB! Opening the shared episode requests to allow editing via clicking “request editing lock” This action locks the episode to avoid being edited simultaneously by other users. Editing can be released again
via clicking “release editing lock”
Sharing the Episode (additional information)
An episode can be shared among collaborators, but only one partner can edit the episode at a time.
Editing lock
is employed to avoid accidental simultaneous edits. Editing lock will automatically disengage after 5 minutes of inactivity, 5 minutes after leaving the episode or closing the session. Pressing of button while episode is locked updates the organizing
view. So, if the partner has done a change in episode, you can see it via pressing the edit button.
-
time lock is released after 5 minutes, when episode is changed and browser tag is closed

Dynamic array based on segments of exponential growing size.
This array is able to grow dynamically upon request, without any reallocation.
This is very similar at tommy_array, but it allows to store elements of any size and not just pointers.
Note that in this case tommy_arrayof_ref() returns a pointer at the element, that should be used for getting and setting elements in the array, as generic getter and setter are not available.
| #define TOMMY_ARRAYOF_BIT 6 |
Initial and minimal size of the array expressed as a power of 2.
The initial size is 2^TOMMY_ARRAYOF_BIT.
| typedef struct tommy_arrayof_struct tommy_arrayof |

BREAKDOWN A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1997 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 3.0 Alternative Scale: *1/2 out of ****
United States, 1997 U.S. Release Date: 5/2/97 (wide) Running Length: 1:32 MPAA Classification: R (Violence, profanity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Cast: Kurt Russell, J.T. Walsh, Kathleen Quinlan, M.C. Gainey, Jack Noseworthy, Rex Linn, Ritch Brinkley Director: Jonathan Mostow Producers: Martha De Laurentiis, Dino De Laurentiis Screenplay: Jonathan Mostow and Sam Montgomery based on the story by Jonathan Mostow Cinematography: Doug Milsome Music: Basil Poledouris U.S. Distributor: Paramount Pictures
BREAKDOWN is the latest in a seemingly endless traffic jam of thrillers that opens strong but finishes abominably. Although the first reel-and-a-half tantalizes with the possibility of a tense, high-octane ride, the film veers off course and runs out of gas all-too-quickly. Actually, if BREAKDOWN had started more weakly, I probably wouldn't be quite as harsh on it, but it's difficult to watch a motion picture you're beginning to enjoy devolve into a stupefying example of "crowd- pleasing" rubbish. (The film makers may have miscalculated here -- the crowd I was with laughed their way through the supposedly-taut climax.)
Kurt Russell, who has blasted his way out of New York and L.A., is now stuck trying to escape from the middle of nowhere. He plays mild- mannered Jeff Taylor, a man who has little in common with Snake Plisskin except the facial features. Jeff and his wife, Amy (Kathleen Quinlan), are on a cross-country trip from Boston to San Diego when their car breaks down on a lonely highway wending its way through the bleak-but- beautiful landscape of the American southwest. (Cinematographer Doug Milsome's glorious scenic shots are easily BREAKDOWN's highlight.) But that's not the worst aspect of the situation -- Jeff and Amy think they're being stalked by another driver (M.C. Gainey), so it's a relief when the friendly operator of an eighteen-wheeler, Red Barr (J.T. Walsh), pulls over and offers to help.
Jeff decides to stay with the car while Amy accompanies Red. The plan is for him to drop her off at the nearest diner where she can call a tow truck. Time passes and Jeff manages to get the car started. He drives to the diner, but Amy isn't there, nor is there any sign that she ever stopped in. Suddenly frantic, Jeff drives off in pursuit of Red, but, when he catches up to him, the trucker claims that not only didn't he pick up a woman, but he doesn't recall having ever met Jeff.
I have just described about the first thirty minutes of the movie, and it doesn't sound bad at all. Take a little Hitchcock, a dash of Steven Spielberg's DUEL, and a pinch of THE VANISHING, and you get a fair approximation of the level at which BREAKDOWN begins. That's a lofty perch to start from, which means that it's a long way down, and, unfortunately, BREAKDOWN plummets the entire distance. The ending has more in common with sloppy, cliched, psycho-killer thrillers like UNLAWFUL ENTRY and BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT (the setting reminded here me of that one) than with anything fashioned by a respectable director.
The three leads -- Kurt Russell, J.T. Walsh, and Kathleen Quinlan - - do the best they can with cardboard, one-dimensional roles, but the script's banality defeats them. Of course, they can't be held entirely blameless for this debacle, since they agreed to appear in it. Given his recent track record, which includes the white-knuckler EXECUTIVE DECISION, I would never have guessed that Russell was so hard up for a job that he'd have to accept something of this sort.
Thrillers don't have to be realistic to work. Take SPEED, for example. There's no way that the bus could have cleared the gap in the road. But we believed it because the movie had painstakingly created an "alternative reality" in which such gravity-defying feats were possible. BREAKDOWN never does that, and, as a result, its increasingly- preposterous turns come across as laughable. Film maker Jonathan Mostow's work behind the camera is a complete bust (this apparently is his second feature, following the memorable BEVERLY HILLS BODYSNATCHERS). His pedestrian direction and unoriginal script diffuse any tension that BREAKDOWN might have generated. The film turns into a long, drawn-out bore where the fate of each character is all-but- inscribed on his or her forehead. If this movie was a car, it would have been hauled off to the junk yard as soon as it started falling apart -- a process that is well underway by the half-way point.

# Pro Testing ###### How to write testable code without hating yourself --------------- ## Why care? - Good tests are good documentation. - Testable code is readable code (most of the time). - Good tests guard against future regressions. - Code is for humans, not for computers. - Testable code allows for refactoring with confidence. - Hard-to-understand code is bad for everyone. - You should care. --------------- ## Write mostly unit tests - then integration tests - then end-to-end (feature) tests - then QA --------------- ## TDD where you can - Write list of comment expects - Simplest case first - Explain the desired behavior for various contexts - Write the tests so that they fail - Write the code so that they pass --------------- ## Write many small functions - Bits are free. Use them. - Extract any unit-testable blocks, no matter if you think you should or not. - Each function should do one thing and do it well. --------------- ## Don't use anonymous functions - They are hard to trace. - They are untestable. --------------- ## Write pure functions with inputs and outputs - Always return a value, unless it's for a side effect. - Never return undefined. - Inject Dependencies --------------- ## Don't mutate variables. Don't mutate parameters. - Values shifting unpredictably are untestable. - Pass by reference arguments - Look out for functions that mutate --------------- ## Don't test third-party libraries - Don't test that Angular works. - Don't test that Lodash works. - Don't test that the core library works. --------------- ## Test what it does, not how it does it. #### AKA Don't test implementation [example1](https://github.com/mawrkus/js-unit-testing-guide#test-the-behaviour-not-the-internal-implementation) [example2](https://github.com/mawrkus/js-unit-testing-guide#dont-write-unnecessary-expectations) --------------- ## Test failure cases - Great! It works in the success case. What is supposed to happen if it fails? --------------- ## Make predicates of your conditionals. --------------- ## Separate business logic from your views - Views should be dumb. They should just render their inputs. --------------- # Protips --------------- ### Coverage is a vanity metric. It's nice to have 100% coverage, but some things don't need tests. For example: - Testing a configuration. - Testing object properties that aren't generated.  - Budget time to write good tests. --------------- ### Arrange, Act, Assert #### Separate with white space - setup (Arrange) - call function (Act) - expect (Assert) --------------- ### If the tests are hard to write, the code is probably the problem --------------- ### JS Unit Testing Guide [link](https://github.com/mawrkus/js-unit-testing-guide) --------------- # Creds - Luke Brown - Ricky Hanna - Ted Lorts

IN THE LINE OF FIRE A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1993 James Berardinelli
Rating: 8.9 out of 10 (A, ***1/2 out of ****)
Date Released: 7/9/93 Running Length: 2:03 Rated: R (Language, mature themes, violence)
Starring: Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich, Rene Russo, Dylan McDermott, Fred Dalton Thomas, John Mahoney Director: Wolfgang Petersen Producer: Jeff Apple Screenplay: Jeff Maguire Music: Ennio Morricone Released by Columbia Pictures
In 1963, Frank Horrigan was among the "best and brightest" of the Secret Service, the personal choice of President Kennedy. On November 22 in Dallas, an afternoon that Horrigan will never forget, he became one of the few living agents to lose a president. Now, decades later and only months before a presidential election (perhaps 1992 or 1996--we're never told exactly), Mitch Leary (John Malkovich) is stalking the President. Believing there to be an intangible bond between himself and Horrigan (he says they were both betrayed by a government they had once loved), Leary makes contact with the Secret Service agent to discuss his intentions. After his contact with the potential killer, Horrigan acts quickly to get himself posted to protection duty. This time, he has no intention of failing and believes that, given the opportunity, he will take the bullet. But Leary has everything on his side--time, opportunity, and a group of pig-headed behind-the-scenes men at the White House who refuse to alter the President's itinerary no matter how grave the apparent danger is. And, as the election draws closer, Horrigan's chances of averting a second tragedy seem progressively less likely.
John Malkovich may be one of the big screen's most overlooked actors. Or, at least he was until this performance. It isn't that he's never done good work before--his version of Lenny in Gary Sinese's OF MICE AND MEN was one reason for that film's place in my top ten for last year--but most of the time he hasn't been recognized for it. However, like Anthony Hopkins in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, now that Malkovich has been given a highly visible role in a significant movie, people will hopefully begin to rave about him. The job he does in IN THE LINE OF FIRE is certainly worthy of praise. Hands down, Malkovich's assassin is the best thing about this excellent thriller--a villain that rivals Hannibal Lecter for intelligence and cold, calculated viciousness.
Rene Russo gives her strongest performance to date. In truth, she's little more than the "window dressing" that Frank Horrigan suggests is the role of female Secret Service agents, but she manages to do a lot with a thankless part. She has quite a bit of screen exposure, but not much meat to sink her teeth into. But, even playing second fiddle to Malkovich and one of Hollywood's most popular leading men, she gets noticed.
Eastwood is Eastwood, albeit a more vulnerable version akin to what we saw in UNFORGIVEN. He's still tough, and he still isn't afraid to use his gun, but Frank Horrigan is a man haunted by his past. He's no longer sure whether it was simple indecision or an unwillingness to take a bullet that led to his not being there for Kennedy, and the possibility of the same situation arising a second time troubles him day and night. Horrigan gives us the human side of Eastwood--the side that we never get in a Dirty Harry film, the side that isn't afraid to shed a tear.
Director Wolfgang Petersen, best known for DAS BOOT, but also at the helm for the taut, twisted SHATTERED, is aware of what's necessary to make a good thriller work. He knows the importance of pacing, and plays the tension in IN THE LINE OF FIRE like a virtuoso. Petersen takes what could have been a muddled motion picture and structures it perfectly, creating a superlative piece of entertainment. It helps, of course, that he has a strong cast.
Plot-wise, IN THE LINE OF FIRE is nothing extraordinary. It's basically a formula-type thriller with one or two twists thrown in to keep the view off-balance. However, strength of character, coupled with a consistently high level of excitement, makes this film anything but ordinary. The most intriguing element of IN THE LINE OF FIRE is the cat-and-mouse game between Horrigan and Leary. The relationship of these two characters to each other is fascinating, as it explores psychological layers which many motion pictures find too difficult to convey realistically.
For an example of how badly this sort of story (protecting a public figure from a dangerous assassin) can be botched, take a look at last year's THE BODYGUARD. While there are similarities in the underlying plot structures of the two movies, development and execution are radically different. IN THE LINE OF FIRE is an intelligent motion picture; THE BODYGUARD represents mindless entertainment.
It's interesting how some of the most simple special effects can be the most effective. Video manipulation shows a few clips that appear to have Horrigan right in the midst of JFK's Dallas entourage. The editing is done exceptionally well; it isn't easy to tell that Eastwood wasn't behind the President and First Lady. If nothing else, these scenes justify one of the themes of Michael Crichton's novel RISING SUN--that video images can no longer be trusted to represent the truth.
A couple of negatives about IN THE LINE OF FIRE come to mind. First, while the music by Ennio Morricone is effective at times, there is at least one incident--during a rooftop chase--when it sounds like a regurgitation of something from THE UNTOUCHABLES. I know that many composers (including Morricone) have certain "signature" tunes, but this reuse of something he's done in the past is a little too blatant for my liking.
Secondly, Eastwood's Horrigan has one-too-many leaps of intuition during the climactic scenes. The overt nature of this plot device is neatly camouflaged by the ever-growing tension of the sequence, but it becomes apparent upon reflection. After all, we're dealing with Frank Horrigan, grizzled veteran of the Secret Service, not Sherlock Holmes. There's nothing earlier in the film that would lead us to believe that he possesses such powers of deduction.
Overall, however, this is a fine film, and certainly one of the most intelligent thrillers of the summer. IN THE LINE OF FIRE doesn't require the special effects bonanza of JURASSIC PARK to involve the audience, nor does it rely on the mega-budget explosions and mountaintop battles of CLIFFHANGER. Compared to THE FIRM, a movie that some have identified as a picture of similar appeal and temperament, IN THE LINE OF FIRE is far better paced and scripted. So, for a couple of hours of entertainment, IN THE LINE OF FIRE is one of those rare "big" movies that doesn't disappoint.

Methods and Materials: Toasted and pulverized A. colubrina seeds, free of pods, over gentle heat on a fry pan. This was added in three part to one part of baking soda. It was then mixed and sifted out with a fine screen. Stored cool and dry for 6 months, then shaken. 500mg of substance was weighed out, and formed into two lines.
Route: Insufflated
Influences: C. Sativa 0.25g smoked, 2 hours previous Dextroamphetamine 10mg slow release oral, 18 hours previous
Set:
Feeling positive, scientific and philosophical. Wanting to experiment, curious and excited. Enthusiastic. Iím quite high from the cannabis and know that the snuff will rocket me.
Setting:
At my own home, no one around and its dark. Iím in my room at my computer. My computer has its visualization program on, and its screen saver activates to show the streaming stars, set at 200stars. Listening to a mix of Bob Marley and some deep jungle beats. House is warm and Iím comfortable. I have a bowl of peanut butter ice cream pie beside me.
T + 0:00-0:05
note that not all of this dose was taken, as nasal burning set in half way, therefore, only 250mg was insufflated. Nose was blown to eject the bulk of material after two minutes of mucous membrane contact. Intense nasal burning , tears, inflamation, runny nose, excess mucous, light dizzy feeling, euphoria in stomach, mild visual hallucinations set in
T+0:05-0:30
Too intense to type, rushes across body, strong euphoric rushes inside, moderate closed eye visuals, textural distortion, distinct tripping feeling, synergism with amphetamine, keyboard and fingers looked distorted and large, I fumbled in confusion with my computer, but not wanting to waste this feeling fumbling, I lay on my bed. At this point I noticed mild open eye visuals, and strong closed eye visuals. My mind is rushing, analyzing my life and my future. I have vivid daydreams of my career, and future scientific exploits. The marijuana shortens my attention, while the dex lengthens my attention span and the snuff leads my imaginations. Looking at my screen saver it looks like hundreds of metallic tentacles rolling over each other. Continual, mild rushes rolled over my body. I would very much describe most of this as mental euphoria. My base personality didnít seem to change much though, but my body and soul felt strongly tickled.
T+0:30-1:00
I would take bites from the ice cream pie, and it tasted so wonderful. A must try experience for a DMT trip. The hunger was most likely from the cannabis. In between bites I would think rapidly for a few minutes about biological problems and innovations that I would be interested in tackling. Everything seemed very attainable if I worked on it. I felt pleasantly intoxicated and philosophical at this point. Tiredness was setting in, but my thoughts, dreams and hallucinations kept my mind occupied for the next little while. I slowly lulled myself to sleep, thinking happy thoughts. This morning I woke and felt refreshed, a little changed and with a slight buzz. I feel ready to tackle the day with my new insight. A must try experience, and I will follow up with a slightly higher dose without other drug influences at a later date.

Hi all
I am building a 3 phase protection system, the 3 phases voltages are read as shown in the attached diagram, 3 transformers are used to measure voltage and one transformer is used to power the circuit on, the system works well except when the neutral fails, in this case the board does not turn off, and the voltages at the inputs of the transformers increases to a harmful value. How can I protect my board from this issue? How can I turn of the board when neutral cuts? And is there a way to sense the neutral (mean that is there a way to find out if neutral is present or not)?
Thanks
Re: 3 phase monitoring system neutral fail problem
What sort of power supply system do you have? Can you describe it in terms of this Wikipedia article? Essentially, there are two ways of going about it, which of these will be effective or practical I cannot say from the information you give. One way will be to measure the neutral-earth voltage, the other to measure the imbalance between phases. You cannot sense the presence of the neutral directly (because if the system is totally balanced, you don't need the neutral anyway!).

bool flock ( resource $handle , int $operation [, int &$wouldblock ] )
flock() allows you to perform a simple reader/writer model which can be used on virtually every platform (including most Unix derivatives and even Windows). On versions of PHP before 5.3.2, the lock is released also by fclose() (which is also called automatically when script finished). PHP supports a portable way of locking complete files in an advisory way (which means all accessing programs have to use the same way of locking or it will not work). By default, this function will block until the requested lock is acquired; this may be controlled (on non-Windows platforms) with the LOCK_NB option documented below.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

[Scene Central Perk, the whole gang is entering]
Joey: I'm tellin' ya that girl totally winked at me.
All: Did not, she did not wink at you...(sees that their sacred couch is occupied by strangers).
Chandler: Huh. (They all leave, dejected)
Opening Credits
[Scene: Rachel and Monica's, Phoebe, Ross, and Rachel are eating breakfast.]
Ross: I have to say Tupolo Honey by Van Morrison.
Rachel: Nooo Way! The most romantic song ever is The Way We Were.
Phoebe: See, I-I think that one that Elton John wrote for, um, that guy on Who's The Boss.
Rachel: What song was that, Pheebs?
Phoebe: (singing) Hold me close, young Tony Dan-za.
(Monica enters from her bedroom)
Phoebe: Hi Monica!
Ross: Hey Mon!
Rachel: Hey Mon!
(she just walks straight into the bathroom)
Phoebe: Oh my God, has she slept at all?
Ross: Nope.
Rachel: No, it's been three nights in a row.
Ross: Yeah, she finally stopped crying yesterday, but then she found one of Richard's cigar butts out on the terrace, so.
Phoebe: Oh, okay that explains it. I got a call at two in the morning, but all I could hear was, like, this high squeaky sound, so I thought okay its like a mouse or a opossum. But then I realized where would a mouse or a opossum get the money to make the phone call.
[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Joey is coming in from the bedroom]
Chandler: Morning.
Joey: Morning, hey, you made pancakes?
Chandler: Yeah, like there's any way I could ever do that.
Janice: (entering and singing) Monica and Rachel had syrup, now I can get my man to cheer up. (laughs hysterically) Good morning Joey.
Joey: (sarcastically) Good morning.
Chandler: Hey, you know what, here's a thought. Why don't you stay home from work today and just hang out with me.
Janice: Oh, I wish. Look, honey, you have that report to finish, and I gotta go see my lawyer.
Chandler: I can not believe that I am going out with someone that is getting divorced.
Janice: (laughs) I-I-I gotta go, I gotta go. Okay, not without a kiss.

Joey: (under his breath) Kiss her! Kiss her!
Janice: I'll see you later, sweetie. Bye Joey.
Joey: B-bye Janice. So when ya' dumpin' her.
Chandler: Nope, not this time.
Joey: Come on, quite yankin' me.
Chandler: I'm not yanking you.
Joey: This is Janice.
Chandler: Yeah, I know. She makes me happy.
Joey: Okay. All right. You look me in the eye and tell me, without blinking, that you're not breaking up with her. No blinking.
Chandler: (looks him in the eye) I'm not breaking up with her! (they stare at each other for a while, then Joey blows in his face)
[Scene: Rachel and Monica's, Monica is entering from the bathroom.]
Monica: God, look what I found in the drain.
Rachel: What?!
Monica: It's some of Richard's hair! (holds it close to Ross) What do I do with this?
Ross: Getting it away from me would be job one.
Monica: It's weird, but you know what I don't wanna throw this away. I mean this is like all I have left of him, gross, drain hair. Ooh! (drops it in Ross's cereal)
Phoebe: Ooh. Oh.  (Ross gives her this look, like 'Yeah, doesn't it', and gets up to dump it down the drain.)
Monica: God, what is wrong with me.
Ross: You need to get some sleep.
Monica: I need to get some Richard.
Rachel: Monica, you broke up with him for a reason.
Monica: I know, I know. I'm just so tired of-of missing him. I'm tired of wondering why hasn't he called. Why hasn't he called!
Phoebe: Maybe, because you told him not to.
Monica: What are you the memory woman?
Joey: (entering) Their not breaking up. Chandler and Janice. Their not breaking up. He didn't blink or anything.
Rachel: Well, you know I'm not surprised. I mean have you seen them together, they're really cute.
Joey: Cute! This is Janice! You remember Janice?
Rachel: Yes, Joey, I remember, she's annoying, but you know what she's-she's his girlfriend now. I mean what can we do?
Joey: There you go! That's the spirit I'm looking for! What can we do? Huh? All right who's first? Huh? Ross?
Ross: Well I'm thinking that Chandler's our friend and Janice makes him happy, so I say we just all be adult about it and accept her.
Joey: Yeah, we'll call that Plan B. All right?
[Scene: Ross's bedroom, Ross is working and Rachel is reading a book in bed]
Rachel: (she leans over and kisses him on the cheek) Honey, I was wondering....
Ross: Hmm?
Rachel: Do you still have that, um, Navy uniform?
Ross: Nooo, I had to return it to the costume place.
Rachel: Hmm.
Ross: I think I have an old band uniform from high school.
Rachel: You remember not having sex in high school, right?
Ross: Yeah.
Rachel: Well honey, what about you?
Ross: What?
Rachel: I mean do you have any fun, you know, fantasy type things?
Ross: No.
Rachel: Come on you gotta have one!
Ross: Nope.
Rachel: Ross, you know what...
Ross: What?
Rachel: ...if you tell me, I might do it.
Ross: Okay, umm. Did you ever see, um, Return Of The Jedi?
Rachel: Yeah.
Ross: Do you remember the scene with, um, Jabba the Hut? Well Jabba had as, as his prisoner, um, Princess Leia.
Rachel: Oooh!
Ross: Princess Leia, was wearing this, um, gold bikini thing. It was pretty cool.
[Scene: Central Perk, Phoebe and Rachel are there]
Phoebe: Yeah, oh, Princess Leia and the gold bikini, every guy our age loved that.
Rachel: Really!
Phoebe: Um, um. It's huge. Yeah, that's the moment, when-when, you know she stopped being a princess, and became, like, a woman, you know.
Rachel: Did you ever do the-the Leia thing?
Phoebe: Oh, yeah, um-mm. Oh!
Rachel: Really! That-that great huh?
Phoebe: No it's just that I got this new pager and I have it on vibrate. See ya!
Ross: (entering with Monica in tow) Hey!
Rachel: Hi you guys!
Ross: Look who I found standing outside of the Szechwan Dragon staring at a parking meter.
Rachel: Mon. Hi!
Monica: Hi.
Rachel: Why aren't you at work?
Monica: Oh, they-they sent me home.
Rachel: Why?
Monica: Because I don't work at the Szechwan Dragon.
Ross: Okay.
Rachel: You really, really need to get some sleep, honey.
Monica: I know I do.
Ross: Hi.
Rachel: Hi.
Ross: Guess what?
Rachel: What?
Ross: They published my paper.
Rachel: Oh, really, let me see, let me see.
Phoebe: Rach, look! (she holds two buns up to her ears to make her hair look like the Princess Leia 'do.) Oh, hi! Where is my strong Ross Skywalker to come rescue me. (Ross stands up horrified) There he is.
[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Joey is watching Wheel of Fortune, the puzzle is showing _oun_ Rush_ore.]
[Chandler enters]
Chandler: Hey!
Joey: Wheel!
Chandler: Of!
Joey: Fortune!
 All right, listen, I got three tickets to the Rangers tonight. What'd ya' say?
Joey: I say, 'I am there!' Cool! Aw, is Ross going to?
Chandler: No, Janice.
Joey: Jan-ice. 'Cause I, just, I feel bad for Ross, you know, we-we always go together, we're like the three hocke-teers.
Chandler: You know, I may be way out on a limb here, but do you, do you, have a problem with Janice?
Joey: No, Yeeees. God, how do I say this. (walks into the kitchen, Chandler follows closely, he turns around and gets startled). Oh, hi, you know that girl from the Greek restaurant with the hair (holds his hands up to signify she has big hair)?
Chandler: Ooh, that girl that I hate, eww, drives me crazy, eww, eww, oh!
Joey: Look, I don't hate Janice, she's-she's just a lot to take, you know.
Chandler: Well, there you go.
Joey: Oh, hey. Come on man, don't look at me like that, she used to drive you nuts before too, remember?
Chandler: Well, I'm crazy about her now. I think this could be the real thing. Capital 'R'! Capital 'T'! (Joey stares at him) Don't worry, those are the right letters.
Joey: Look, what do you want me to say?
Chandler: I want you to say that you like her!
Joey: I can't. It's like this chemical thing, you know. Every time she starts laughing, I just wanna (grimaces and tenses up) pull my arm off just so that I can have something to throw at her.
Chandler: Thanks for trying. (grabs the ticket and starts to leave) Oh, and by the way there is no Count Rushmore!
Joey: Yeah, then-then who's the guy that painted the faces on the mountain?
Commercial Break
[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, Rachel and Ross are entering]
Ross: How could you have told her?
Rachel: Ross, I didn't think it would that big of a deal.
Ross: Oh, she didn't think it would be that big of deal.
Rachel: Okay, who are you talking to when you do that?
Ross: Look, that was supposed to be like a private, personal thing between us.
Rachel: Okay, Ross, Phoebe is my girlfriend, okay, we tell each other everything.
Ross: That's different, okay. That's like, uh 'Who dated a stripper?' or 'Who did it on the back of the Staton Island Ferry?'.
Rachel: Were both of those Joey?
Ross: Yeah.
Rachel: Not even with your best friend.
Ross: Noo!
Rachel: That is so sad. Your missing out on so much, Ross. I mean, the bonding and the sharing, you know. And-and knowing that someone else is going through the same thing you are.
Ross: Hmph. So what you, you tell each other everything?
Rachel: Pretty much.
Ross: Did you talk about the night of five times? Do you tell people about the night of five times?
Rachel: Uh, honey, yeah that was with Carol.
Ross: I know, but it's still worth mentioning, I think.
[Scene: Monica's bedroom, Phoebe is trying to relax her.]
Phoebe: ( in a soothing voice) Relax every muscle in your body. Listen to the plinky-plunky music. Okay, now close you eyes, and think of a happy place. Okay, tell me your happy place.
Monica: Richard's living room, drinking wine.
Phoebe: All right. No, no, no, not a Richard thing, just put down the glass. And get out!
Monica: I'm sorry, but that's my happy place.
Phoebe: Well, okay, fine, use my happy place. Okay, I'm just gonna, I have to ask that you don't move anything.
Monica: All right, I'll try not to.
Phoebe: Okay, all right, so, your in a meadow, millions of stars in the sky....
Monica: Do you think breaking up with him was a huge mistake?
Phoebe: All right, there are no questions in the happy place. Okay, just, the warm breeze, and the moonlight flowing through the trees....
Monica: I'll bet he's totally over me, I'll bet he's fine.
Phoebe: All right, betting and wagering of any kind, are, I'm sure, not permitted in the happy place. Okay. Just-just, you know, the-the lovely waterfalls, and the, the trickling fountains. And the-the calming sounds of the babbling brook....
Monica: Okay, this isn't working. I'm still awake and now I have to pee.
[Scene: Chandler and Joey's]
Janice: So, I hear, you hate me!
Joey: I, ah, I never said hate, I was very careful about that.

Joey: And you got a 'hate' from that?!
Janice: All right, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, we've got to do something about our little situation here Joey. So, this is my idea: you and me spending some quality time together.
Joey: But what does that gonna do...
Janice: For Chandler!
Joey: Okay. I'm in.
Janice: Okay. All right. This is what we're gonna call it: 'Joey and Janice's DAY OF FUN!'
Joey: Does it have to be a whole day?
Janice: Yes, because that's how long it takes to love me.
Joey: Yeah, I know, I sleep in the next room.
[Scene: Central Perk, Rachel and Monica are entering]
Monica: (crying) So, I went down to the post office, and it turns out it was those videos that I ordered for Richard about the Civil War. He loved the Civil War.
Phoebe: Monica, do you want us to take you home?
Monica: Uh, huh. (to Ross) Or maybe to a galaxy far, far away. (Rachel, Monica, and Phoebe leave)
Ross: Women tell each other everything. Did you know that?
Chandler: Umm, yeah.
Ross: No Chandler, everything! Like stuff you like, stuff she likes, technique, stamina, girth....
Chandler: Girth? Why, why, why, wh-why, why, why, why would they do this?
Ross: Rachel says sharing's great and supposedly, you know, we outta be doing it. Do you wanna?

Ross: Nooo!
Chandler: Yeah, okay.
Ross: Yeah?
Chandler: Yeah! All right! You go first.
Ross: Okay, okay, I'll go first.
Chandler: Okay.

Chandler: Princess Leia in the gold bikini.
Ross: Yes!
Chandler: I know!
Ross: Yes! Wow, well, that-that was easy. Okay, you-you go.
Chandler: Okay.
Ross: Okay.
Chandler: Okay, you know, you know when your in bed, with a woman.
Ross: Hmph.

Ross: With the belly-button ring? Oh, muhawa!
  You know, but of course, like, after that you can't possibly think of anything else, and you can't, you know, stop what your doing. So it's kinda like, you're, you know. You know...(Ross just stares at him). You don't know!

Chandler: You said...
Ross: I said 'share' not 'scare'. Go sit over there! (Chandler goes over and sits at a table and puts his head down).
[Scene: Chandler and Joey's, Joey and Janice are returning from their DAY OF FUN!]
Janice: We're baack!
Joey: Hey!
Chandler: What are you guys doing together?
Janice: Joey and Janice's DAY OF FUN!!! (laughs)
Chandler: Really.
Joey: Yeah, yeah. We went to a Mets game, we got Chinese food, and you know, I love this woman. You have got competition buddy.
Janice: I just came by to give you a kiss, I have to go pick up the baby, so. I'll see you later sweetheart, you too Chandler. (laughs)
Chandler: You still can't stand her can you?
Joey: I'm sorry man, I tired, I really did.
Chandler: Well, you know, I appreciate you giving it a shot.
Joey: But, hey, look, you know the good thing is, is that we spent the whole day together and I survived, and what's even more amazing, so did she. It was bat day at Shea Stadium.
Chandler: Well, I guess that's something.
Joey: No man, that's huge! Now, I know I can stand to be around her, which means I get to hang out with you, which is kinda the whole point, anyway.
Chandler: Okay.
Joey: Oh, hey, Chandler, we, ah, we stopped by the coffee shop and ran into Ross.
Chandler: Oh God!
Joey: Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I do it too.
Chandler: Really?

[Scene: Rachel and Monica's, Monica is watching the Civil War videos]
Video:April Twelve, Eighteen hundred, Sixty-One (Monica lights Richard's cigar butt), 4:30 A.M. on Tuesday, the United States garrison at Fort Sumter was fired upon (knock on door) it is now under bombardment by....
(Monica answers the door)
Monica: Hi, Dad, what are you doing here?
Mr. Geller: Well, it's your mother's bridge night so I thought that I would come into the city for a little Monicuddle. (hugs her) Since when did you start smoking cigars?
Monica: I don't, I just, I just like the smell of them. So, uh, what are you really doing here Dad?
Mr. Geller: Well, I just wanted to make sure you were okay.
Monica: What makes you think that I might not be okay?
Mr. Geller: I saw Richard.
Monica: Oh.
Mr. Geller: So, how are you doing?
Monica: I'm fine, just a little tired, I'm okay. How's Richard doing?
Mr. Geller: You don't wanna know.
Monica: No, I really, really do.
Mr. Geller: Well, he's doing terrible!
Monica: Really!
Mr. Geller: Worse than when he broke up with Barbara.
Monica: You're not just saying that are you?
Mr. Geller: No, the man is a mess.
Monica: Was he crying?
Mr. Geller: No.
Monica: Well, do you think he was waiting 'til after you left, so he could cry?
Mr. Geller: Maybe.
Monica: I think so.
Mr. Geller: Honey, relationships are hard. Like with your Mom and me. You know after we graduated college we broke up for a while. It seems her Father, your Grandfather, wanted her to travel around Europe, like he did. Of course, he got to do it on Uncle Sam's nickel, because he was also strafing German troop trains at the time. However, (turns around and sees that Monica is sleeping and puts a blanket around her, kisses her, picks up the cigar, and starts watching the video)
Closing Credits
[Scene: Ross's bedroom, Ross is humming the Star Wars theme. Rachel enters, with her hair done up like Princess Leia's, and wearing a belly dancer's outfit, to simulate the gold bikini thing.]
Rachel: Okay, here we go. I'm Jabba's prisoner, and you have a really weird look on your face. What? Honey, what is it? Did I get it wrong? Did I get the hair wrong? What? Did you just picture it differently? What? What?
 Come on sweetie, your like, freaking me out here.

Attending the Dynamics Technical Conference is all worth the investment. You not only see the new capabilities but also the ability to interact closely with the experts from Microsoft who built the product.
I am personally interested in budgeting planning and control as it forms a strong analytics base for any organization in the world. And budget planning is not limited to only users who use Microsoft Dynamics AX; it can be used as an independent workload along with any ERP or customers on other versions of Dynamics AX.
Microsoft Dynamics AX introduces several key improvements to budgeting functionality. Let’s explore those in more detail.
For any budgeting system to be successful in user adoption, integration with Excel is crucial. Enhancements in Excel integration provide a huge improvements in user experience and productivity of people involved in the budgeting process. Here are some specific benefits of the updated approach:
Budgeting is now a more integral element of financial management in Dynamics AX. Here are some other ways budgets have greater visibility and accessibility in the new AX.
Additional budget generation options - Multiple options for budget plan generation are now available viz. from budget register, project forecast and supply/demand forecast.
Budget request right from Purchase order - Users can now submit request for additional budget right from the Purchase order without leaving the document being worked upon. So good to improve productivity.
Insightful workspaces - Many insightful capabilities to leverage specially for budget manager combined with Power BI capabilities available right out of box.
Inquiry for Budget vs Actual - Budget manager can now better track Budget, see responsible managers associated to the Business unit, Department right from Budget form.
Based on guidance at the Dynamics Technical Conference, here are some budgeting capabilities on the roadmap:
Based on the implementations I have done, as a voice of the customer I would also like the budgeting functionality in the new Microsoft Dynamics AX to be isolated from the overall solution and made available in individual workload capacity with its own special pricing. This change would enable organizations with other ERP’s to fully embrace its full potential even just as a true Budgeting tool. It also aligns with Microsoft’s strategy to componentize the solution and let customer pick pieces they want to use.

AppScopeTrait¶

trait
atk4\core\
AppScopeTrait
¶ - Typical software design will create the application scope. Most frameworksrelies on “static” properties, methods and classes. This does puts somelimitations on your implementation (you can’t have multiple applications).App Scope will pass the ‘app’ property into all the object that you’readding, so that you know for sure which application you work with.
Source: vendor/atk4/core/src/AppScopeTrait.php#13
Properties¶
-
public static property
atk4\core\AppScopeTrait::$
_appScopeTrait
¶ - Check this property to see if trait is present in the object.

public static property
atk4\core\AppScopeTrait::$
app
¶ - Always points to current Application.

max_name_length
¶ - When using mechanism for ContainerTrait, they inherit name of theparent to generate unique name for a child. In a framework it makessense if you have a unique identifiers for all the objects becausethis enables you to use them as session keys, get arguments, etc.Unfortunately if those keys become too long it may be a problem,so ContainerTrait contains a mechanism for auto-shortening thename based around max_name_length. The mechanism does only workif AppScopeTrait is used, $app property is set and has amax_name_length defined.Minimum is 20See http://stackoverflow.com/a/9399615/1466341 for more info.

public static property
atk4\core\AppScopeTrait::$
unique_hashes
¶ - As more names are shortened, the substituted part is being placed intothis hash and the value contains the new key. This helps to avoid creatingmany sequential prefixes for the same character sequence. Thosehashes can also be used to re-build the long name of the object, butthis functionality is not essential and excluded from traits. Youcan find it in a test suite.

First of all, welcome :)
The focus of this task is to identify relationships between entities, i.e. people, organizations, places, dates and job titles, in the article. You will be shown a highlighted sentence with a red and a blue entity. We would like you to identify how the red and a blue entity are related, according to the highlighted sentence. It is also possible that they are unrelated or their relationship is not described in the highlighted sentence. Do not think about whether or not the two highlighted entities are related OUTSIDE this sentence.
Consider the following example:
British prime minister Tony Blair addressed the gathering on Tuesday.We would mark works for because the sentence identifies Tony Blair to be a minister for British. (Britain). Marking the relation lives at would be incorrect because the sentence doesn't explicitly mention this fact.
On the other hand, for,
Prime minister Tony Blair warned the public that some of those killed may be British.we would mark the two to be unrelated because this sentence does not explicitly say that Tony Blair and British (Britain) are related.

How to add a record to a list using the Forms and Lists module. The ability to add rows may be restricted.
The newly added list record


public interface AsyncIterator<T>
The single abstract method of AsyncIterator<T>
is `Async<T> next()`
,
which is an async action that yields the next element.
If the async action fails with
End
, the iterator reaches its end and there are no more elements.
Some APIs have methods that are semantically compatible with AsyncIterator.next(), for example, ByteSource.read(), WebSocketChannel.readMessage(). It's easy to create an AsyncIterator for them:
AsyncIterator<ByteBuffer> bbIter = byteSource::read; bbIter.forEach( bb->... ); AsyncIterator.by( webSocketChannel::readMessage ).forEach( msg->... );
AsyncIterator is usually used to model loops containing async actions. For example
ByteSource source = ...; AsyncIterator.by(source::read) .map( ByteBuffer::remaining ) .forEach( System.out::println ) .finally_( source::close );
There are intermediary operations that transform an AsyncIterator to another AsyncIterator,
for example, map
, flatMap
, filter
.
There are terminal operations that visit all elements and compute a result,
for example, reduce
, forEach
, toList
.
After an intermediary/terminal operation on an iterator, the iterator should not be used again, or there could be multiple parties trying to iterate its elements.
Sometimes we need to break a loop early, ignoring the rest of the elements. This can be done by throwing `End` from the function that processes elements. For example
Stream<Integer> stream = IntStream.range(0, 100).boxed(); AsyncIterator<Integer> iter = AsyncIterator.wrap(stream); // {0, 1, ... 99 } iter = iter.filter( (integer) -> { if(integer > 50) throw End.instance(); // filter out all remaining elements return integer%2==0; }); iter.forEach( (integer) -> { if(integer > 30) throw End.instance(); // break print(integer); });
Breaking does not cause error condition. In the example, `filter()` will create a new iterator of {0, 2, ... 50}, `forEach()` will complete successfully after printing {0, 2, ... 30},
If the function returns an Async, it can also break the loop by returning an Async that (eventually) fails with an End.
End

Caution: concurrent next() actions are not supported; an application must not call next() until the previous next() action is completed.
default <R> AsyncIterator<R> map(FunctionX<T,R> func)
If the elements of this iterator are { e0 , e1 , ... en-1 }, the elements of the new iterators are { func(e0) , func(e1) , ... func(en-1) }.
Breaking can be done if `func` throws `End`.
The `func`
will be invoked in the current executor
.
default <R> AsyncIterator<R> map_(FunctionX<T,Async<R>> func)
map()
, except that `func` returns Async<R>
instead of R.
Breaking can be done if `func` throws `End` or returns an Async that eventually fails with `End`.
The `func`
will be invoked in the current executor
.
default <R> AsyncIterator<R> flatMap(FunctionX<T,AsyncIterator<R>> func)
Breaking can be done if `func` throws `End`.
The `func`
will be invoked in the current executor
.
default <R> AsyncIterator<R> flatMap(FunctionX<T,AsyncIterator<R>> func, FunctionX<End,AsyncIterator<R>> endFunc)
When this iterator next() fails with End, or when func throws End, the End exception is fed to endFunc to generate more new elements.
Breaking can be done if `func` throws `End`.
The `func` and 'endFunc'
will be invoked in the current executor
.
default AsyncIterator<T> filter(FunctionX<T,Boolean> predicate)
Breaking can be done if `predicate` throws `End`.
The `predicate`
will be invoked in the current executor
.
default AsyncIterator<T> filter_(FunctionX<T,Async<Boolean>> predicate)
filter()
, except that predicate returns Async<Boolean>
instead of Boolean.
Breaking can be done if `predicate` throws `End` or returns an Async that eventually fails with `End`.
The `predicate`
will be invoked in the current executor
.
default AsyncIterator<T> peek(ConsumerX<T> action)
This is an intermediary operation equivalent to
map( t->{ action.accept(t); return t; } );
usual for performing actions without altering the elements.
Example usage:
AsyncIterator .ofInts(0, 10) .peek( System.out::println ) .filter( x->x%3==0 ) .peek( System.err::println ) ...
CAUTION: this is not a terminal operation; this method alone will not trigger iteration of elements.
default Async<Void> forEach(ConsumerX<T> action)
The overall action succeeds after all elements are visited and action is applied on each of them.
Breaking can be done if `action` throws `End`.
The `action`
will be invoked in the current executor
.
WARNING:
if the action is async, use forEach_(asyncAction)
instead.
Unfortunately, it's easy to accidentally pass an async action to this method, for example
iter.forEach( elem->Fiber.sleep(duration) ); // the action is async!
This is because the type of parameter `action` is T->void
,
which is compatible with any lambda expression T->expr
,
regardless of the type of `expr`. It also matches with a method reference
with no regard to the return type.
At this point, we don't have a good solution to prevent the problem at compile time. We do some runtime detection and issue a warning if the action is suspected to be async.
default Async<Void> forEach_(FunctionX<T,Async<?>> asyncAction)
forEach()
, except that the action is async.
The `asyncAction` returns Async<?>
instead of void.
Breaking can be done if `action` throws `End` or returns an Async that eventually fails with `End`.
The `asyncAction`
will be invoked in the current executor
.
default <R> Async<R> reduce(R r0, BiFunctionX<R,T,R> func)
If the elements are { e0 , e1 , ... en-1 }, define ri+1 = func(ri , ei), reduce() will yield value rn.
Breaking can be done if `func` throws `End`.
The `func`
will be invoked in the current executor
.
default <R> Async<R> reduce_(R r0, BiFunctionX<R,T,Async<R>> func)
reduce()
, except func returns Async<R>
instead of R.
Breaking can be done if `func` throws `End` or returns an Async that eventually fails with `End`.
The `func`
will be invoked in the current executor
.

This method simply returns the argument `asyncIterator`, which seems a little odd. Explanation:
Since AsyncIterator is a functional interface, an instance can be created by a lambda expression or a method reference, in 3 contexts:
// Assignment Context AsyncIterator<ByteBuffer> asyncIter = source::read; asyncIter.forEach(...); // Casting Context ((AsyncIterator<ByteBuffer>)source::read) .forEach(...); // Invocation Context AsyncIterator.by(source::read) .forEach(...);
The 3rd option looks better than the other two, and that's the purpose of this method.
If by() is followed by forEach(), it's simpler to use static AsyncIterator.forEach():
AsyncIterator.forEach(source::read, action)
static <T> Async<Void> forEach(AsyncIterator<T> elements, ConsumerX<T> action)
This method is a syntax sugar for `elements.forEach(action)`. Example Usage:
ByteSource source = ... AsyncIterator.forEach( source::read, System.out::println ) .finally_( source::close );
WARNING:
if the action is async, use
forEach_(elements, asyncAction)
instead.
Read the explanation in forEach(action)
.
static <T> Async<Void> forEach_(AsyncIterator<T> elements, FunctionX<T,Async<?>> asyncAction)
This method is a syntax sugar for `elements.forEach_(asyncAction)`. Example Usage:
// echo websocket messages WebSocketChannel chann = ...; AsyncIterator.forEach_( chann::readMessage, chann::writeMessage ) .finally_( chann::close );


This documentation explains how the quadratic binding equation used to fit binding data from a FRET experiment is derived from the law of mass action.
In this document, we will call M the macromolecule, L the ligand, ML the macromolecule/ligand complex, and [M], [L] and [ML] their molar concentrations at equilibrium. Moreover, we will call \(M_{tot}\) the total concentration of macromolecule, and \(L_{tot}\) the total concentration of ligand. We have, by definition because of mass conservation:
1: \(M_{tot} = [M] + [ML]\) 2: \(L_{tot} = [L] + [ML]\)
The binding equilibrium is represented by the following reaction:
\(M + L \rightleftharpoons ML\)
The equilibrium binding constant \(K_D\) is defined by the following equation (law of mass action):
3: \(K_D = \frac{[M] \times [L]}{[ML]}\)
Determining \(K_D\) is the goal of a binding assay, like a FRET titration experiment.
To determine \(K_D\), we need to measure [ML] at equilibrium. [M] and [L] can be expressed as a function of [ML] from equations 1 and 2, and \(M_{tot}\) and \(L_{tot}\) are known parameters of the experiment.
Rewriting equation 3 gives us:
4: \(K_D \times [ML] - [M] \times [L] = 0\)
By substituting into equation 4 [M] and [L] using equations 1 and 2, we have:
\(K_D \times [ML] - (M_{tot} - [ML]) \times (L_{tot} - [ML]) = 0\)
We can now solve this equation for [ML]:
\(K_D \times [ML] - (M_{tot} \times L_{tot} - M_{tot} \times [ML] - L_{tot} \times [ML] + [ML]^2) = 0\)
\(K_D \times [ML] - M_{tot} \times L_{tot} + M_{tot} \times [ML] + L_{tot} \times [ML] - [ML]^2 = 0\)
5: \([ML]^2 - (K_D + M_{tot} + L_{tot}) \times [ML] + M_{tot} \times L_{tot} = 0\)
Equation 5 is of the form \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\), of solutions \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\).
This gives us [ML] expressed as a function of \(K_D\) and the known parameters \(M_{tot}\) and \(L_{tot}\):
6: \([ML] = \frac{(K_D + M_{tot} + L_{tot}) \pm \sqrt{(-(K_D + M_{tot} + L_{tot}))^2 - 4 \times M_{tot} \times L_{tot}}}{2}\)
If we have a detectable signal \(S\) proportional to [ML] (like FRET), we can express it as a function of its minimal and maximal values (\(S_{min}\) and \(S_{max}\)) and the fraction of ligand bound \(\frac{[ML]}{M_{tot}}\):
7: \(S = S_{min} + (S_{max} - S_{min}) \times \frac{[ML]}{M_{tot}}\)
With this expression, \(S = S_{min}\) when \(\frac{[ML]}{M_{tot}} = 0\) and \(S = S_{max}\) when \(\frac{[ML]}{M_{tot}} = 1\).
Substituting equation 6 into equation 7 gives:
8: \(S = S_{min} + (S_{max} - S_{min}) \times \frac{(K_D + M_{tot} + L_{tot}) \pm \sqrt{(-(K_D + M_{tot} + L_{tot}))^2 - 4 \times M_{tot} \times L_{tot}}}{2 \times M_{tot}}\)
In equation 8, \(S\) and \(S_{min}\) can be measured experimentally: they are the signal observed without ligand, and across the titration series at given values of \(L_{tot}\). The experimental data is, indeed, \(S = f(L_{tot})\). \(M_{tot}\) and \(L_{tot}\) are known experimental parameters. Therefore, \(K_D\) and \(S_{max}\) can be determined by fitting equation 8 to the experimental data.


Roberto Martinez: Belgium deserve to win Euro 2020… but it’s not that simple
by FSA EditorBelgium were in clinical form against Cyprus and, according to Roberto Martinez, look worthy winners of Euro 2020.
Roberto Martinez believes Belgium deserve to win Euro 2020 but acknowledges that will count for little if they do not perform at the finals.
Belgium completed their qualification campaign on Tuesday, thrashing Cyprus 6-1 to end with 10 wins from 10 in Group I, scoring 40 goals in the process.
Martinez has already seen enough to suggest Belgium are worthy of a maiden major international title, yet he knows there is plenty of work to do.
“Whether we can win the European Championship, that is something that we have in our hands,” head coach Martinez said. “We need to get even better and then we see if we can play another great tournament.
“We have set the standard at the World Cup [finishing third] and we are continuing to develop into a team with a great deal of togetherness. And the fans are also important.
“We now have seven months to become as good as possible. This team deserves to win the European Championship but, in football, it’s not that simple.”
Reflecting on qualifying, he added: “I think everyone just worked really well this year. The players know what to do and they do it with an incredible focus.
“Scoring six times and then playing again in this way is very good.”
Kevin De Bruyne, who scored twice in a playmaking masterclass against Cyprus, added: “It’s always beautiful. Nobody has given it to us.
“Once you start the qualification, you have to go match by match and we did. It’s very nice to finally get there [with 10 wins].”
