This tutorial is run by Dunman High School Students. It is meant to be a gentle introduction to Python 3. We will show how to develop a simple Hangman game covering basic Python programming paradigms like loops, lists and functions.
Learn how to use Jupyter, plus data analysis tools such as Pandas and NumPy, to perform some basic analyses on financial data. We'll also discuss a few ways in which time series analysis differs from regular statistics, and what Python tools to use for the job.
This workshop will introduce the attendees to the core concepts of machine learning. The scikit-learn package is introduced. Using real-life examples, the data modeling framework is introduced:
Data ingestion -> Feature creation -> Feature selection -> Model creation -> Model validation -> Model selection
Main Objectives of the workshop:
1) What is data analysis? 2) How to approach a data analysis problem? 3) What are the various questions one can ask given data? 4) How to perform data analysis and gain insights?.
By the end of the workshop, the attendees should be able to take a dataset and be confident to perform data analysis in a scientific manner .
This tutorial is chock-full of material that will help advanced beginners and intermediate Djangonauts with their Django projects. We'll introduce students to various tips, tricks, patterns, code snippets, and techniques that we've picked up over the years.
This workshop covers some useful tools and libraries from the open source world for financial data science, like pandas, plotly and more.
This talk will introduce the use of Python and several related modules (GDAL, Shapely, Fiona etc) to build a GIS-based data processing pipeline to retrieve the road network information required to build a rural-urban classification scheme for a region of interest. The speaker will highlight the main concepts used to build the data pipeline and run a simple demo to illustrate these concepts.
Deploying Python web applications is too hard. You either have to understand some arcane configuration syntax, or have to dig through an encyclopaedic volume of options. It shouldn't have to be this hard. In this talk you will see how 'warpdrive', with the right sort of magic, can make Python web application deployment easy.
Developing and maintaining a robust, scalable, high performance tcp server is usually quite tricky, even more so with Python where worker threads running on multiple cpu cores are absent due to GPI (Global Interpreter Lock). This talk covers the design and implementation of tcp/ip communication components, the way how to handle requests and assign the tasks efficiently.
Python has lots of scientific, data analysis, and machine learning libraries. But there are many problems when starting out on a machine learning project. Which library do you use? How can you use a model that has been trained in your production app? In this talk I will discuss how you can use TensorFlow to create Deep Learning applications and how to deploy them into production.
Antibiotics resistance is a serious biomedical issue and there are contradictory results on the prevalence of resistance following disuse of the specific antibiotics. However, it is not ethically possible to carry out such field experiments. Hence, digital organisms are used as proxy to gain insights into contradictory field evidence in attempt to provide crucial information into this debate.
This talk is geared towards Infrastructure and system engineers who are interested in learning about structuring a large monorepo codebase, consisting of multiple micro services that share many dependencies. This talk will introduce Pants as a build system for such large monolithic codebase and how it ties with today’s container ecosystem principles.
Two of Airbnb's most popular OSS projects are data tools made with Python: Airflow and Panoramix. I'll dive into how we leverage Python to deliver awesome functionality and why we care about contributing back to the community with open source.
We rarely use the power of visualisation to understand our models better. Model evaluation is largely limited to numerical summaries. Visualising models helps us better understand - shape of the model, impact of parameters on the model, impact of different input data , model fit and where it can be improved. This talk summarizes the learnings and key takeaways when communicating model results
I aim to cover the following aspects under the talk: 1. Using nltk with python (Overview of modules and data) 2. Basics of natural language processing (tokenisation, stemming, wordnet, pos tagging) 3. Sentiment Analysis (overview of classification methods, binary versus fuzzy classification) 4. Directions of sentiment analysis 5. Applications in discerning human emotions.
Jublia is a business matching SaaS solution for the events industry. A common challenge faced by us and this industry is managing different dynamic datasets of participant databases. That’s why we built Jublia DATASYNC - an easy-to-use data management tool via Google Sheets. I will be sharing how you can also build a simple-to-use tools for both techies and non-techies alike to manage databases.
Deep Learning is a hot topic, but has a steep initial learning curve. To ease the pain, a pre-configured virtual machine will be handed out, so that participants can run it on their own laptops using cross-platform open-source VirtualBox. In order to get the most out of the talk, participants should install VirtualBox on their laptops beforehand.
Raspberry Pi is a credit card size, low cost computer that could be used to build things ranging from supercomputers, to game consoles and robots. In this tutorial we will learn how to program a smart remote control for a robot. This is great for educators who would like to include robotics and computer programming into their curriculum.
By segmenting customers into groups with distinct patterns, businesses can target them more effectively with customized marketing and product features. I'll dive into a few machine learning and statistical techniques to extract insights from customer data, and demonstrate how to execute them on real data using Python and open-source libraries.
Where does Python fit in when it comes to MicroServices architecture? This talk will be about sharing my learnings as a Polyglot Developer about which languages suit best to build different types of MicroServices. With examples and real world scenarios I hope to make this session an introduction to MicroServices architecture from a Python Developer's point of view.
This talk will help beginners and intermediate developers about how to deploy their application on AWS cloud. It will help to plan auto scalability to handle unpredictable load on server to ensure app are up and running all times. Setup of alerts to get notify when something goes wrong to take needed action.
Using million playlists as sequences of songs, music2vec (written in Python) can map a song/playlist to a vector. It turns out these vectors make sense and keep the hidden structure. Imagine you like the song A, and dislike song B, but a playlist X. So the math is easy: your findings = song A - song B + playlist X. Voila, this is music2vec.
Have you thought how tech firms accomplish Infrastructure management at Scale (10's to 1000's of instances). Ansible is one of the answers out there and this talk will show you how you can do that easily and effectively.
Various local government agencies have released a treasure trove of open data. In particular, open geodata has been used to generate a number of cool map visualisations, such as a live taxi heatmap that went viral in Singapore. The Python package Folium makes it easy to use this geodata to create visualizations overlaid on a map.
Using Luigi and Scikit-Learn to create a Machine Learning Pipeline which trains a model and predict through a Rest API
It is not that long ago, that access to financial tools, e.g. for technical analysis, and access to quality financial data has been restricted to big institutions and those with deep pockets. We have come a long way since. Today, every student interested in financial markets can start his own algorithmic trading operation with a little bit more than a notebook and an Internet connection.
A number of Python libraries that we’ve written have become widely used. But they all started as personal projects: tools or utilities that we needed ourselves. In this talk we visit a number of case studies, both libraries of our own and of others.
In today's world of web application development, we've been given amazing, visionary tools and architecture patterns for quickly building gigantic structures that collapse under their own weight. This talk covers some of them and how to (hopefully) avoid them.
We are looking for sponsors!

Candidate Profile
| Name | Annie E. Hambidge |
| Party | Conservative Party |
| phone | 07813 362 477 |
| address | c/o York House: Richmond Rd :: Twickenham . I have a courier service 5x weekly |
Background
Tell us about your education?
Girls Grammar School …Birmingham Photographic College
What are three jobs you have held?
- Dept of Physical Metallurgy Birmingham University ( Photography and Photo-Microscopy );
- Civil Service H M Inspector of Taxes:
- USCI International ( CR BARD ) USA. Radiological /Surgical /Diagnostic instruments.
What are you links to the North Twickenham/St Margarets community?
I spotted my present home , early one morning 1986 As a commuter I was crossing A316 on my way to Portsmouth . Old Deer Park looked fantastic in that early morning sun and I spotted a ' For Sale '' notice.
Since then my daughters lived here and then I moved here permanently 1994.
We have always enjoyed and supported local traders St Margaret's …and really appreciate the close proximity of Royal Parks ;Old Father Thames and of course Central London and all it offers . This is a fantastic location which offers benefits one imagines only exist in the countryside …and yet we are only 10 miles from the capital city .
Why did/do you want to be a councilor?
Having decided life would be more enjoyable if I spent more time with my daughters and enjoy my new grandchildren .
I will admit to always having been politically inclined .Never considered becoming a Councillor but having been asked many times , instead of being continually frustrated by the deterioration in the quality of life I was experiencing ; (traffic jams; graffiti litter ; abandoned vehicles etc) and ever increasing Council Tax—-I accepted the challenge to make things better or at least stop things getting even worse .
What do you think are the top three issues for North Twickenham/St Margarets and what do you should be done about them?
I don't think it necessary to tell ME not to follow the party line. I am a free thinker .
- We need to positively control IN_FILL development & continue to protect and enable more enjoyment of the borough 's special appeal; it's greenness; Riverside walks; and many listed buildings and continue to improve Street Scene where ever possible ; realistically protecting Open Space which is so vital in our densely populated areas.
- Make sure that our local schools are seriously committed to providing our children the very best academic learning environment, along with discipline. Encouragement / inspiration are also essential in these early years of personal development to create a 'the desire to want to contribute' and have respect for all around them .
- To d/w finely balancing the necessity for commerce /residential parking /residential status in St Margarets .
What areas are you passionate about and what committees would you like to sit on?…
'passionate' is a bit too strong for politics as it usually indicates a tendency towards being irrational. 'Prefer the word 'committed'
I have been. from day one a Member of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee for the Environment and will always continue to have major interest in that .
My major contribution has been the introduction of the Community Toilet Scheme and River logo on the borough's literature .
I see Ken Livingstone has copied the idea too …I must send him a bill !!
I am a Member of the Licensing Committee and was particularly supportive of the CUMULATIVE IMPACT ZONE being applied to our Town centres especially because St Margarets falls between two town Centres .
I was very pleased to act as spokesperson for so many residents when the new Act made Local Government responsible for determination of cases rather than Magistrates Courts .
So far we seem to have read most Applications well. A result I feel, of listening to what residents concerns. Time will tell .
Are there any big things you are looking to achieve or change?
The need to watch and desist John Prescot's ideas as much and whenever possible.
continue our long committed resistance to further activity at Heathrow which will have a devastating affect on people's daily lives in this borough.
We are hopeful that the Parking issues we are currently studying will result in a definite improvement generally for residents but again it will be based on what the majority request.
Like many of you, I too have submitted ideas for the Twickenham Riverside Development .
I just pray that we can finance a really good scheme for businesses as well as residents & that decision makers are not too timid in their choice .
Many more people from St Margarets would support Twickenham as their Shopping Centre of choice if it was more inviting . What a fantastic setting for a shopping centre …topped by an ultra modern library overlooking the Thames… where people can be seen having fun.
Plus an outdoor roof top restaurant within the library setting … that would be MY choice …but…
If elected, how will you keep in-touch with your constituents?
My email service is open to everyone.The Council website is excellent ;+ mobile phone ; 5xdays courier service to my home address; our regular Area Consultation Meetings ; +invitations to Resident Association Meetings ( when invited? ) ; your new website …and……..
in 6-8 weeks time you will see a new COMMUNITY NOTICEBOARD in St Margarets.
I have asked Khalid at the local Post Office to act a key holder for the Notice Board .
( Simon Chapman as Deputy ).
Is any thing else needed?
Fun
What is your favorite musical group/band/cd?
no one favourite ;
Blurr; Rolling Stones ; Humphrey Littleton
depend s so much on mood
Love the classical …Sibellius ; Haydn; Mozart ;Shostokovitch ; Satie ; Elgar
What is your favorite book?
Usually political biographies
What is the last book you read?
Alan Clark's diaries …no time since becoming Councillor
What are three places you have lived?
- Birmingham
- Worcestershire
- North Cotswolds
What is your favorite meal?
Although I do enjoy cooking food always tastes better when waited upon.
as long as … superbly cooked, using fine herbs; garlic and all those extras …mint sauce /onion sauce with lamb ; horseradish / mustard with beef and crispy yorkshire pud.; apple sauce /cloves and mustard with crackly pork ….
Good British produce
I also like continental meats and smoked cheeses; chilled fresh fruits and fine wines .
Love deserts too …
What is your favorite place to take a holiday?
Sorry haven't just one favourite
Amalfi ; Sardinia ;Southern France ; Arizona ; Balearics
… and after may4th
… I'll need one !!

SOCKATMARK
Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (3)
Updated: 2014-02-28
Index
Return to Main Contents
NAME
sockatmark - determine whether socket is at out-of-band mark
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/socket.h>
int sockatmark(int sockfd);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
sockatmark():
_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600
DESCRIPTION
sockatmark()
returns a value indicating whether or not the socket referred
to by the file descriptor
sockfd
is at the out-of-band mark.
If the socket is at the mark, then 1 is returned;
if the socket is not at the mark, 0 is returned.
This function does not remove the out-of-band mark.
RETURN VALUE
A successful call to
sockatmark()
returns 1 if the socket is at the out-of-band mark, or 0 if it is not.
On error, -1 is returned and
errno
is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
- EBADF
-
sockfd
is not a valid file descriptor.
- EINVAL
-
sockfd
is not a file descriptor to which
sockatmark()
can be applied.
VERSIONS
sockatmark()
was added to glibc in version 2.2.4.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The
sockatmark()
function is thread-safe.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
If
sockatmark()
returns 1, then the out-of-band data can be read using the
MSG_OOB
flag of
recv(2).
Out-of-band data is supported only on some stream socket protocols.
sockatmark()
can safely be called from a handler for the
SIGURG
signal.
sockatmark()
is implemented using the
SIOCATMARK
ioctl(2)
operation.
BUGS
Prior to glibc 2.4,
sockatmark()
did not work.
EXAMPLE
The following code can be used after receipt of a
SIGURG
signal to read (and discard) all data up to the mark,
and then read the byte of data at the mark:
char buf[BUF_LEN];
char oobdata;
int atmark, s;
for (;;) {
atmark = sockatmark(sockfd);
if (atmark == -1) {
perror("sockatmark");
break;
}
if (atmark)
break;
s = read(sockfd, buf, BUF_LEN) <= 0);
if (s == -1)
perror("read");
if (s <= 0)
break;
}
if (atmark == 1) {
if (recv(sockfd, &oobdata, 1, MSG_OOB) == -1) {
perror("recv");
...
}
}

I took a couple of Restoril and went to see a movie by myself. Benzos make me forgetful. I couldn't tell you what movie I saw. I drove myself home, slapping two 2.5mg patches on my arm. Getting home I sat around and watched tv until about midnight and the patches seemed not to be working.. so I cut them open and ate the paste.. the gel inside. Kids, don't do this at home.
I sat down on my couch in my room in front of the tube with a bowl of clam chowder in my lap. I remember feeling that comfortable opiate glow come about me, starting at my feet and working it's warmth up towards my head. I remember looking at the television, it being blurry and saying, 'Whoops..'
I've had the nods before from morphine. This wasn't the nods. This was just a bit above respritory failure. My girlfriend (who doesn't use) will swear that I have nine lives. I honestly don't know how I made it through the night. I had passed out around 12:30 and I remember the television waking me up around 4am. I dragged my sorry self to the toilet and vomitted.. good and hard. Chowder vomit isn't pleasant. I don't remember going back to my room of getting into bed. If my dad had been home I'd say that he put me there but he wasn't around so I made it under my own power.
I awoke the next morning still good and stoned. It was awful. The sickness was brutal. I couldn't so much as roll over in bed without feeling ill. I spent all day in bed.
All in all, this was a big mistake. I was sick for three days. This left me with three more patches. I nursed them for the next three weeks. A small dot on my finger got me plenty high. Look, if you have access to this stuff and you're thinking about using them.. don't. It's dangerous stuff, really dangerous. Heroin is probably safer.

The most common way that states have "banned" payday loans is by prohibiting annual percentage rates above a certain level, usually 36%. Consider a payday loan of $400, where the loan is due back plus a payment of $40 in two weeks. How much money would you save if the loan charged an annual percentage rate of 36% (simple interest) instead? Remember that your time needs to be converted to years!

Jurassic Park Directed by Steven Spielberg. Starring Sam Neill, Jeff Glodblum, Laura Dern and Richard Attenborough. Reviewed by Michael A. Turton<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I swore I would never review this movie, but here I am....
_Jurassic Park_ is a film so towering that it has managed to maintain its emotional power over the years, despite being forced to overcome one of the most intense commercialization campaigns in film history, as well as the worst sequel since _Return of the Jedi_. The tremendous worldwide success of _Jurassic Park_ represents the pinnacle of Steven Spielberg's achievements as a director, the film showcasing every one of his strengths and weaknesses.
Based on the best-seller by Michael Crichton, _Jurassic Park_ at first appears to be part-thriller, part-morality play about the strength of life and the failed promise of technological magic, or as a sort of updated _Sorcerer's Apprentice_ of naive humans playing with forces beyond their ken. It is easy to fall into the trap of seeing the dinosaurs as representing the primal vigor of Life, as Spielberg invites us to do. The first time we see the dinosaurs (a moment which made tears of joy roll down this reviewer's cheeks the first time he saw it) they are gloriously virginal in a lush natural setting: not an artifact in sight. The first dinosaur we are in intimate contact with is sick, for Pete's sake! What could be more natural?
Yet, in the end, this movie is not about life or dinosaurs. Instead, it asks the question: how can human beings live in the technological nightmare worlds they have constructed for themselves? There are many moments of exploration of attitudes toward technology in the film, as when one character chortles upon opening the amazing can of shaving foam which is really a secret storage container for smuggling embryos (a debased version of Jurassic Park's owner's pride in his creation), or when the leading characters argue about the import of Jurassic Park. Many of Ian Malcolm's criticisms of the cloning project represent critiques of technology and science which can be found in the writings of sociologists and philosophers of technology. The movie opens with Grant's grousing about how he can't get along with technology. We're all struggling to catch up with the modern world, he observes later, with real anguish
Or consider. Far more time is spent on the hazards of technology than on pursuit by dinosaurs. The threats to the children -- the car falling out of the tree, the perimeter fence being turned on -- are technological threats. Spielberg alludes to this at the beginning. As the movie opens, we hear a roaring and a crushing. Expecting a dinosaur, what do we see? A machine. A little joke, to be sure, but a revealing one nonetheless. The wrenching twist from the roar of the T. Rex to Samuel L. Jackson's "Keystroke. Check." is a marvelous clue to the nature of the world Spielberg has built. Educated, intelligent people are helpless before baffling or failed tech (What! No phones? Help!), as helpless as when faced with a T. Rex. The plot may be unified and fulfilled when the T. Rex nails the velociraptor as it is about to disembowel our blue-eyed heroes, but the film's premise is shown in the brilliant shot during the pursuit when a velociraptor, bathed in the light of a computer monitor, suddenly appears as a collection of computer data constructions. The real meaning is this: the dinosaurs are a technology too. The film's attempt to portray them as "Life finding a way" is a shallow distortion: they are not even real animals but biotechnological amalgamations of frogs and dinosaurs, grotesqueries born in incubators under hot lights.
Of course, with Spielberg at the helm, the film follows the Hollywood formula which Spielberg, applying in varying degree to all his movies, has brought to its ultimate refinement: the healing of a family, the trivialization of minorities, a lush score, technical and directorial brilliance, first-rate acting, a redemptive ending, the focus on the obvious meaning and leadership by the blue-eyed. In his real-world films such as _Schindler's List_ and _Saving Private Ryan_, this cookie-cutter perfectionism has led to great films which are greater failures, but The Formula is well-suited to a fantasy like _Jurassic Park_.
That said, _Jurassic Park_ remains a brilliant movie with moments of delicious humor, a fast pace and excellent acting. The reflection of the T. Rex in the rearview mirror is a wickedly funny satire. Laura Dern and the young actor who plays the granddaughter both deliver especially noteworthy performances. The effects are magnificent. The irresistable splendor of the dinosaurs overcomes even the predictable chase scenes and the predictable ending. It is a film filled with wonderful shots: the birds viewed from the window of the chopper at the end, a reminder of how dinosaurs are still with us; Laura Dern attempting to stare down a velociraptor, every muscle in her body straining; the moment when we first see the Brachiaosaur feeding, the chase of the jeep (think they'll have that on the tour?) and of course, the T. Rex emerging from the enclosure in the midst of a terrible storm, the ultimate realization of the Frankenstein complex.
If there are any flaws in the film, they lie in two areas. First, the dinosaurs themselves do not reflect the current state of paleontonological thinking. The public may have accepted Bob Bakker's suspect arguments for dinosaurs as warm-blooded, but hardly any scientists think the matter is so cut-and-dried. Second, the "white middle-classness" of the film in which only blacks, lawyers, fat people and other undesirables die while the blue-eyed triumph is also highly objectionable (I live in Taiwan, where Hollywood has successfully inculcated the belief that only blue-eyed people are real Americans. As a brown-eyed scion of Italian and Polish immigrants, this infuriates me.). There are a few minor flaws (a T. Rex can't knock over a jeep one-twentieth of its weight?) but none really interfere with the suspension of disbelief.
Not just a rental from time to time, _Jurassic Park_ is a first-rate keeper, a classic for the ages. This reviewer gives it 5 out of 5 and would love to see it on the big screen again.

Pymatgen-db is a database add-on for the Python Materials Genomics (pymatgen) materials analysis library. It enables the creation of Materials Project-style MongoDB databases for management of materials data and provides a clean and intuitive web ui for exploring that data. A query engine is also provided to enable the easy translation of MongoDB docs to useful pymatgen objects for analysis purposes.
This module defines a Drone to assimilate vasp data and insert it into a Mongo database.
Bases: pymatgen.apps.borg.hive.AbstractDrone
VaspToDbTaskDrone assimilates directories containing vasp input to inserted db tasks. This drone is meant ot be used with pymatgen’s BorgQueen to assimilate entire directory structures and insert them into a database using Python’s multiprocessing. The current format assumes standard VASP relaxation runs. If you have other kinds of runs, you may design your own Drone class based on this one.
There are some restrictions on the valid directory structures:
A Materials API key. If this key is supplied, the insertion code will attempt to use the Materials REST API to calculate stability data for inserted calculations. Stability assessment requires a large quantity of materials data. E.g., to compute the stability of a new LixFeyOz calculation, you need to the energies of all known phases in the Li-Fe-O chemical system. Using the Materials API, we can obtain the pre-calculated data from the Materials Project.
Go to www.materialsproject.org/profile to generate or obtain your API key.
Parses vasp runs. Then insert the result into the db. and return the task_id or doc of the insertion.
Process aflow style runs, where each run is actually a combination of two vasp runs.
Get the entire task doc for a path, including any post-processing.
There are some restrictions on the valid directory structures:
Simple post-processing for various files other than the vasprun.xml. Called by generate_task_doc. Modify this if your runs have other kinds of processing requirements.
Checks if a directory contains valid VASP input.
This module provides a QueryEngine that simplifies queries for Mongo databases generated using hive.
Bases: object
This class defines a QueryEngine interface to a Mongo Collection based on a set of aliases. This query engine also provides convenient translation between various pymatgen objects and database objects.
The major difference between the QueryEngine’s query() method and pymongo’s find() method is the treatment of nested fields. QueryEngine’s query will map the final result to a root level string, while pymmongo will return the doc as is. For example, let’s say you have a document that is of the following form:
{"a": {"b" : 1}}
Using pymongo.find({}, fields=[“a.b”]), you will get a doc where you need to do doc[“a”][“b”] to access the final result (1). Using QueryEngine.query(properties=[“a.b”], you will obtain a result that can be accessed simply as doc[“a.b”].
An alias dict to use. Defaults to None, which means the default aliases defined in “aliases.json” is used. The aliases config should be of the following format:
{
"aliases": {
"e_above_hull": "analysis.e_above_hull",
"energy": "output.final_energy",
....
},
"defaults": {
"state": "successful"
}
}
The “aliases” key defines mappings, which makes it easier to query for certain nested quantities. While Mongo does make it easy to map collections, it is sometimes beneficial to organize the doc format in a way that is different from the query format. The “defaults” key specifies criteria that should be applied by default to all queries. For example, a collection may contain data from both successful and unsuccessful runs but for most querying purposes, you may want just successful runs only. Note that defaults do not affect explicitly specified criteria, i.e., if you suppy a query for {“state”: “killed”}, this will override the default for {“state”: “successful”}.
Initialize a QueryEngine from a JSON config file generated using mgdb init.
Get ComputedEntries satisfying a particular criteria.
Note
The get_entries_in_system and get_entries methods should be used with care. In essence, all entries, GGA, GGA+U or otherwise, are returned. The dataset is very heterogeneous and not directly comparable. It is highly recommended that you perform post-processing using pymatgen.entries.compatibility.
Gets all entries in a chemical system, e.g. Li-Fe-O will return all Li-O, Fe-O, Li-Fe, Li-Fe-O compounds.
Note
The get_entries_in_system and get_entries methods should be used with care. In essence, all entries, GGA, GGA+U or otherwise, are returned. The dataset is very heterogeneous and not directly comparable. It is highly recommended that you perform post-processing using pymatgen.entries.compatibility.
Returns a structure from the database given the task id.
Convenience method for database access. All properties and criteria can be specified using simplified names defined in Aliases. You can use the supported_properties property to get the list of supported properties.
Results are returned as an iterator of dicts to ensure memory and cpu efficiency.
Note that the dict returned have keys also in the simplified names form, not in the mongo format. For example, if you query for “analysis.e_above_hull”, the returned result must be accessed as r[‘analysis.e_above_hull’] instead of mongo’s r[‘analysis’][‘e_above_hull’]. This is a feature of the query engine to allow simple access to deeply nested docs without having to resort to some recursion to go deep into the result.
However, if you query for ‘analysis’, the entire ‘analysis’ key is returned as r[‘analysis’] and then the subkeys can be accessed in the usual form, i.e., r[‘analysis’][‘e_above_hull’]
Just like query, but return a single doc.
Bases: exceptions.Exception
Exception class for QueryEngine. Allows more information exception messages to cover situations not covered by standard exception classes.
Bases: _abcoll.Iterable
Iterable wrapper for results from QueryEngine. Like pymongo’s cursor, this object should generally not be instantiated, but should be obtained from a queryengine. It delegates many attributes to the underlying pymongo cursor, and should support nearly all cursor like attributes such as count(), explain(), hint(), etc. Please see pymongo cursor documentation for details.
Utility functions used across scripts
Bases: json.encoder.JSONEncoder
Constructor for JSONEncoder, with sensible defaults.
If skipkeys is false, then it is a TypeError to attempt encoding of keys that are not str, int, long, float or None. If skipkeys is True, such items are simply skipped.
If ensure_ascii is true, the output is guaranteed to be str objects with all incoming unicode characters escaped. If ensure_ascii is false, the output will be unicode object.
If check_circular is true, then lists, dicts, and custom encoded objects will be checked for circular references during encoding to prevent an infinite recursion (which would cause an OverflowError). Otherwise, no such check takes place.
If allow_nan is true, then NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity will be encoded as such. This behavior is not JSON specification compliant, but is consistent with most JavaScript based encoders and decoders. Otherwise, it will be a ValueError to encode such floats.
If sort_keys is true, then the output of dictionaries will be sorted by key; this is useful for regression tests to ensure that JSON serializations can be compared on a day-to-day basis.
If indent is a non-negative integer, then JSON array elements and object members will be pretty-printed with that indent level. An indent level of 0 will only insert newlines. None is the most compact representation.
If specified, separators should be a (item_separator, key_separator) tuple. The default is (‘, ‘, ‘: ‘). To get the most compact JSON representation you should specify (‘,’, ‘:’) to eliminate whitespace.
If specified, default is a function that gets called for objects that can’t otherwise be serialized. It should return a JSON encodable version of the object or raise a TypeError.
If encoding is not None, then all input strings will be transformed into unicode using that encoding prior to JSON-encoding. The default is UTF-8.

--- layout: article title: 'There’s a Starman / Waiting in the Sky: Yuri Gagarin sings!' authors: - cannon-kevin - heaney-christopher excerpt: > An illustrated tribute to Yuri Gagarin, the first human being in space—and the first to sing. permalink: /issues/2014/7/yuri-gagarin-sings toc: 8 chapter: 3 volume: 2 number: 3 nonflexible: true ---
What to hum to the cosmos? Surrounded by uncaring vacuum, what to whistle in the dark?
Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, had time to decide. On April 12, 1961, while waiting on the launch pad in Kazakhstan to take off for his pioneering orbit around Earth in the spacecraft Vostok—depicted wonderfully in this issue’s carto-biography by Kevin Cannon—the twenty-seven year-old learned that a minor problem had caused a six-minute delay. His cosmonaut comrade Pavel Popovich worried Gagarin might get restless during the wait; during his pre-flight medical exam Yuri had been pale and quiet, and had sometimes started humming songs. To keep him from getting “bored,” Popovich went to see about piping some music over the radio. A few minutes later, Sergei Korolev, the father of the Soviet Union’s space program, asked if Gagarin could hear it.
“Nothing yet,” Gagarin replied.
“Of course, that’s the way musicians are,” said Korolev. “Now they’re here, now they’re there, but they don’t do anything fast, as the saying goes, Yuri Alekseyevich.”
On came the music.
“Oh, now they’ve done it,” Gagarin said. “They gave me love songs.”
“A love song? Good choice, I’d say, Yuri.”
Popovich came back on the line. “Yuri, they gave you the music, right?”
“They gave me the music, all is well.”
“Well, well, now you won’t be so bored.”
Half an hour passed. Gagarin stayed cheerful. He kept his heart rate at sixty-four beats per minute. The music was presumably cut by the time mission control told him to turn his volume up to loud. As 0906 hours turned to 0907 hours, in kicked the ignition.
“POYEKHALI!” Gagarin shouted. Off we go!
Humanity, shaking hands with the cosmos. Weightlessness, before Kubrick’s 2001 made Strauss’s ‘Blue Danube Waltz’ its soundtrack. Gagarin, the first man to see two dawns on one day.
The flight lasted 108 minutes. For ten of them near the end, the capsule failed to separate from the instrument module, and Gagarin spun on three axes. The capsule separated, righted, and flames began to lick its sides. It was then, perhaps, that Gagarin began to sing or whistle—or so he later told Nikita Khruschev—a tune by Dmitri Shostakovich.
“The Motherland hears, the Motherland knows/Where her son flies in the sky!”
Seven kilometers above the ground, Gagarin was ejected from the spacecraft, presumably no longer singing. He landed in Siberia, assured a farmer and her daughter that he too was a Soviet, and went to find a phone to call Moscow.
Back home, Yuri’s sister Zoya waited nervously for reports on the radio. The cheerful patriotic music stopped, and it was announced that Gagarin had been enrolled in the Komsomol Central Committee Roll of Honour. Zoya thought it was a prelude to announcing his death.
It was not. That moment would come seven years in the future, during a training accident. When the music returned in 1961, Zoya took heart that Yuri was safe.
The above exchange draws from three translations: this awkwardly translated transcript of the launch; Asif A. Siddiq, Challenge to Apollo: The Soviet Union and the Space Race, 1945-1974 (Washington, D.C.: Nasa History Division, 2000), 276, and Jamie Doran and Piers Bizony, Starman: The Truth Behind the Legend of Yuri Gagarin (New York: Walker & Company, 2011), 101. Some space historians have raised red flags about some aspects of Starman, particularly its reliance on one ex-KGB source, but for this sequence—and the sequence of events rendered in Kevin Cannon’s narrative—it flies.

I actually started writing this review well before seeing the movie. I felt I had to, after watching the original "Godzilla" on Saturday afternoon (Channel 11's Godzilla marathon), and, partially again Sunday evening (Joe Bob Brigg's Monstervision, on TNT). This is the Americanized, Raymond Burr playing the necessary white man in the cut up Japanese film. The little tricks used to integrate him into this film -- tricks that fooled me when I was ten but look laughable now (or perhaps I'm just aware that Raymond is tacked on, and am looking for the visible seams; I can't claim I'm more clever now than when I was ten) -- aren't too far removed from, say, the use of Bela Legosi in "Plan 9 From Outer Space". The actor died part way through the filming, and, for the rest of the movie, they had some guy in a hat, with a dark cape raised high enough to cover his face, stalking around.
The opening of "Godzilla" shows that Raymond Burr is acquainted with some scientist's wife, who comes to him in the hospital.  A little while late, we see the front of her face, but it's obvious this is culled from a different moment in the movie, and that she isn't really talking to Raymond.  Cut to some guy with an eye patch -- I'm not sure the first shot of the scientist didn't show such a thing -- face heavily obstructed by bubbling beakers, flasks and the other props of stereotypical alchemy, who answers the phone and talks to Raymond. Back in the 1950s, they simply didn't have the benefit of our late-1990s ability to incorporate John Wayne in a beer commercial, and Gene Kelly in a spot for Hoover vacuums. Or maybe they just didn't care. (Joe Bob Briggs, who gives a little background to the movies he's showing, mentioned that a couple of Americans were looking at special effects footage for some reason or another. They came across "Gojira", liked what they saw, and made it into an American movie for about $100,000. Well, 1950s dollars, but cheap as far as movies go. Arguably, a few minutes of computer graphics in the new movie cost that much.)
Some recent movie reviews of the 1998 "Godzilla" argue that "Gojira", the original Japanese film, is one of the better Japanese films made, in some sense up there with Kurosawa. I wouldn't go that far, but little models and rubber suit aside, the film is supposed to conjure up a powerful, bleak vision of destruction and despair: Godzilla as the embodiment of nuclear apocalypse. The clips from the original movie that started off this American version does contain hospital scenes that are meant to invoke memories of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Seeing "Gojira" would be interesting -- half the movie was sliced up to accommodate Raymond. I should look for it in Kim's Video next time I'm in the area.
Raymond says such obvious things: "Look at the size of those footprints." Show, not tell.
So, I suppose a new, 1998 version has the benefit of relative seamlessness. No need for the token American when New York is wrecked. On the other hand, Tokyo has a resonance of the fire bombings of World War II -- air raid sirens sound when Godzilla approaches, and the scenes of destruction are informed by these and by the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki -- which New York doesn't. At worst, we've had Disney's invasion of Times Square and Central Park. Granted, it was massive -- Michael Eisner made the rain go away -- but there were no casualties except for the grass on the Great Lawn.
Anyway, yes, the various reviews I read are basically right. The new movie compares unfavorably to its rubber suited predecessor. Fundamentally, the movie is an overgrown "Jurassic Park"/"Lost World" set in New York, and with a much larger monster. There are no innovations in this movie: as noted, the influence of "Jurassic Park" are very clear, though the baby Godzillas aren't nearly as terrifying as velociraptors. We perhaps shouldn't expect them to be: the velociraptors were handled by Spielberg, who once gave us "Jaws"; the Godzilla team gave us the decidedly unscary "Independence Day". Actually, "ID4"'s little tricks with the airplanes are simply repeated in this new movie: the flight scenes are basically the same. [Hint to the Godzilla team: helicopters can fly higher than buildings and large lizards.] Finally, they wreck Madison Square Garden, but it's no worse than, say, Michael Jordan passing through; he can be a wrathful god.
That helicopters, airplanes and tanks can hurt this Godzilla makes it nothing more than a large, overgrown pet gecko. Fundamentally, it's an animal. It bleeds, it can be killed. A couple well placed shots from a tank can do it in. A bigger problem would be flushing it down the toilet afterwards without telling the kids. [A side note: does Godzilla taste like chicken? Being somewhat radioactive, Godzilla steak would certainly be free of e. coli, though there might be other problems.]
Its animal nature, its mortality, makes this Godzilla less mythic than the original Gojira. Gojira, this invincible incarnation of nuclear horrors, shrugs aside the army on its way to Tokyo. Godzilla 1998 can hardly take it on the chin, and has to get away from the army through fancy footwork instead of simply wading through they guys with rifles. A fence of 300,000 volt high tension wires proves more a curiosity than an obstacle to Gojira. Godzilla is hurt by this little electrical cable that Matthew Broderick can hold in his hands. Gojira is an embodiment of existential bleakness, a force of nature for the atomic age, a legendary dragon with nuclear breath. Godzilla is a pest.
  His dialog is painful to hear. Real clunkers, not unlike Raymond Burr's observations. But even more painful to hear is what his girlfriend says during the film. [As a counterpoint to Idiot Broderick, I'm one of the maybe four people in the country who saw "Infinity", this neat little film about the physicist Richard Feynman. Broderick's roles have therefore proceeded from Genius to Idiot in the past year. Career trajectory?] Oh, furthering a theme that's been in Hollywood movies for far too long, it takes a disaster to reconcile relationships. "Lost in Space" was really about the father-son thing. "Deep Impact", which I have yet to see, is apparently about solving family crises before they killer comet hits; doomsday as a therapy session. In "Godzilla", it's the boy-girl thing. At long last, they take an interest in each others work, and it only took being chased by ersatz velociraptors to do it. Oh, and she gets a fulfilling job along the way, too.
Godzilla having offspring isn't a new idea.  [Actually, reading the summary for that movie -- it's been ages since I'd seen it -- the story isn't badly constructed.  In his mind, in his fantasy world, he travels to Monster Island, and finds that Godzookie is similarly beaten up on. Godzilla comes by, instills courage and confidence in Godzookie and, by proxy, the school kid. The school kid overcomes the bullies. I like this story and construction better than the chase through mazy hallways by velociraptors.] How Godzilla's procreation mechanics work is explained in neither film.
Bizarrely, there are Frenchmen in the movie. Jean Reno, who I think I first saw as the Cleaner in "La Femme Nikita", plays some secret service guy who's there to clean up this Godzilla mess. He's there with a dozen Frenchman, all of whom smoke. They're hampered in their mission because they can't get a smoking table at a restaurant. Anyway, the whole thing is sort of bizarre. Perhaps they were there to drive away Godzilla by acting rude? A side implication, most definitely missing from "Gojira", is that these little nuclear messes can be cleaned up without much fuss. The teams next mission, I assume his next job is propping up some African despot.
Lastly, some NYC notes. You know, those moments when suspension of disbelief fails because the film implies it's easy to get a cab in the rain. Yes, it's nitpicky to note that the Fulton Fish Market isn't that far south of Wall Street for the big guy to clearly walk up Broad Street, stomping investment bankers along the way. The Brooklyn Bridge is also not the closest bridge to the Park Avenue tunnel at 33rd Street; the Queensborough is. [Side note: the Park Ave tunnel the heroes are stuck in is right next to my former office. I'm sure that Godzilla, sweeping its tail around, probably did severe damage to it. I have to compliment the location people: they got the stores on the west side of Park dead on. That "hey, I bought a smoothie in that store!" feeling was there.] Oh, Manhattan bedrock isn't so deep for Godzilla to borough around in. It's actually relatively shallow -- that's why we have sky scrappers. Similarly, the Hudson can't accommodate a submerged sub. An even more devastating gaffe is the debate on how to get uptown/downtown when they're in the cab. Everyone knows the FDR construction near 23rd St. will cause havoc. There are other things, but pointing out these locational, uh, inconsistencies should be a communal activity.
Just before writing the 1998 portions of this review, I went to see the New York Philharmonic give a free concert in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. It was a really long line, wrapping around two long blocks. There was no such line for Godzilla, but then I realized that, say, next year, there won't be really long lines for the new "Star Wars" movie. The bonding, formative experience of standing in a long line to buy tickets to a Star Wars movie will have been done away with by the modern multiplex, which can show Ewan McGregor making light saber sounds every hour, has killed the line. Sometimes old things are better.

Namespace Elements.Spatial.AdaptiveGrid
Classes
AdaptiveGraphRouting
Class for routing through an AdaptiveGrid.
AdaptiveGrid
A graph like edge-vertex structure with planar spaces connected by vertical edges. The grid doesn't do any intersections when new sections are added, they are stitched only by common vertices. Make sure that regions that are added into the graph are aligned with respect to boundaries and split points.
ConnectVertexStrategy
Connect strategy creates edges between new vertex created from base position and any number of given vertices.
ConnectVertexWithAngleStrategy
ConnectWithAngle strategy that connects two points in a way so incoming edge of other vertex has certain angle with given direction. Creates one middle vertex to achieve this but it can be skipped if two points are already aligned.
Edge
A unique edge in a adaptive grid, connecting two vertices. Don't have a particular direction. Class is forked from CellComplex.Edge.
Obstacle
AdaptiveGrid obstacle represented by a set of points with extra parameters. Points are used to created bounding box that is aligned with transformation parameter with extra offset. Since offset is applied on the box, distance on corners is even larger. Can be constructed from different objects.
RoutingHintLine
Structure that holds information about polylines that are used to guide routing.
TreeNode
Node that represents a vertex in a routed tree.
Vertex
A unique vertex in a adaptive grid. Class is forked from CellComplex.Vertex.
WeightModifier
Object that lets you apply an edge weight factor to edges that meet a Condition filter function. If an edge meets the condition of several WeightModifier objects they will be grouped by group name and factor aggregator function will be applied to WeightModifiers SetWeightModifiersGroupAggregator(String, Func<Double, Double, Double>). By default - the lowest factor of group is chosen. Factors of all groups will be multiplied.
Structs
EdgeInfo
Precalculated information about the edge.
RoutingConfiguration
Object that holds common parameters that affect routing.
RoutingVertex
Structure that holds additional information about inlet vertex
Interfaces
IAddVertexStrategy
Interface for adding new vertices based on chosen strategy.
Enums
AdaptiveGrid.VerticesInsertionMethod
Execution style for AddVertices function. Each option performs more operations than the previous one.
BranchSide
Enumeration that indicates one of two possible paths in routing. There are cases when we need to collect more than one path and only after some time we can decide which one is better.
EdgeFlags
Bit set of flags storing information about edge. Each flag is set to it's own number - power of 2, so they can be safely combined. Use | or |= to combine flags: flag = Hint2D | HasVerticalChange = 1 + 4 = 001 + 100 = 101 = 5. Use & or &= to check of one or more flags: flags & Hint3D == 101 & 010 == 0 == None, but flags & Hint2D == 101 & 001 == 001 == Hint2D.
TreeOrder
Order at which leaf terminal are connected into the tree.
Delegates
AdaptiveGraphRouting.RoutingFilter
Filter function definition.

Legal
DDOS attacks and the laws surrounding them differs between countries and also many states in america where DDoS attacks have seen a lot of media attention. In the UK, people found guilty of carrying out a denial of service attack can see up to 10 years in prison as of 2006 under the Police and Justice Act. In America, A DoS attack is seen as a federal crime with the penalty being years in prison also. However, this current precedent is being challenged with a court proceeding in California.
Many people are calling for the reclassification of DDoS attacks to be a legal form of protest. Much like sit-ins or the "Occupy" movement, a DDoS attack aims to prevent people from accessing a certain place for a certain period of time. Instead of this being physical though, it is done by a virtual medium. A DDoS attack is also non intrusive meaning servers are not usually at "hacked" and are instead just shut down.
However, in those provinces where DoS attacks are not legal, a business can still take measures against the attacker if they can attain a valid IP address of their location. This will usually involve contacting the internet service provider of the IP address given to be the attacking address. From this, the victim can then provide evidence against the individual which may lead to temporary or even permanent suspension of their internet access rights.
In some cases of DoS attacks though, attackers can be using blackmail as a way of extracting money from a company for allowing their attacks to seize. In these cases, with evidence provided and an attack taken place, Law enforcement can and should be called and this would recieve the same penalties as blackmail.
An example of such an attack would be the attack that began against the company "Basecamp". Although the attack has not been resolved and the culprets not found, the company has gone on record to say the attacks were blackmail-fueled with the individual/group saying the attack would have been prevented if the company paid them off.

It's move-in day at Calgary village of tiny homes for homeless veterans
by Christy Somos, CTVNews.ca WriterTORONTO – The recently-built village of tiny homes for Canadian veterans in Calgary is set to receive its new tenants today, as the Homes for Heroes Foundation marks the beginning of a pilot project to provide housing and other support to struggling ex-servicemen.
“The idea behind the village is to bring the veterans together so that they can interact and support each other,” said veteran support worker Don Mcleod on CTV’s Your Morning Friday.
“We find them, we’re going to house them, and we’re going to give them the opportunity to engage with programs we’re going to provide for them,” he said.
Mcleod said he had interviewed around 16 veterans so far and found that “the majority are coming from the homeless environment,” with financial, mental health or substance use difficulties.
“The program… will give them a place to stay and sleep, and then we can work together as a team to move them forwards… in their lives,” said Mcleod, adding that the “ultimate goal” will be to transition the veterans back to independent living in the broader community.
Mcleod said that the response from the community has been “incredible,” with organizations like the local foodbank and Veterans Affairs “stepping up” to provide support.
“We’ve had so many different organizations working so hard to assist in this project, which is why I say this is going to be such a wonderful success,” he said.
Mcleod said that the veterans can stay in the village as long as they need, but that his personal goal is to rehabilitate them back to independent living in the community “within a two year period.”

I had to go into an office job today. It’s the first time in 10 years that I’ve done that. I mean, I’ve been to my corporate office in the last ten years, but today I got on the train, got off at the right station, got on the subway, and walked from there to work. I officially became a part time commuter. It’s possible that as soon as 2 weeks go by I can get back on the road, but until then…
Hard to talk about what’s it like. I am a huge believer in education. I think it has the power to lift people up, but the game is rigged right now. So many students go to college, but less than half will graduate within 6-years. They don’t tell you that stat when you’re on the tour. You’re going to spend maybe $150k, and there’s a shot you wont’ get a degree out of it. Even if you do it’s not like the jobs are paying a ton of money. You’re lucky if you make $50k out of college in a lot of places, but that doesn’t go much past food, rent, loan, car, and utilities. Throw in kids and you’re family rich and cash poor. I’m one of the most fortunate people in the world with a PhD and 10 years of experience and I’m barely hanging in middle class.
So, world economics are broken. I love education, but I feel like a small cog in a big evil wheel. I don’t want to perpetuate student debt. Those are 30 year shackles for many people. So, I told my wife my latest dream.
The talk
Actually it went pretty well. I got her to sign up for Steemit. So, she knows about this place. She’s read a little on bitcoin and getting more comfortable. I think when she realized people have million dollar accounts in this place that it’s not a play money thing. When I showed her what posts could make she started maybe seeing how Steemit could play a bigger part in our lives.
So, I used that as a good starting point and I told my wife I hope to be able to quit my job and do this full time. In my dream world I’m doing that starting next year. I love blogging. I love this community. I love the empowerment I feel using crypto. I want this world to change and I think taking power away from immoral banksters is the best thing I can do with my life.
Intention
I have some odd beliefs about the universe. I believe that the mandela effect is real. I’ve personally experienced it and I have surveys totalling more that 50,000 people to track that experience. Things we take for granted as never changing do change! What animal will lie with the lamb? It’s not what you think! What did the disney witch say to the mirror? It’s not what you think. Where is your heart in your chest. It’s probably not where you believe it to be. The universe changes around us.
I think one of the things that impacts those changes is our intention. Intention is a hard thing for people to grasp at this level, but it’s not that much different than your every day experience. You set your intention in the morning to brush your teeth after you get up. You set your intention to finish your project by the due date. I set my intention for how I want my world to look. I have set my intention to be a full time blogger and steemit advocate to young people. I hope it’s as early as next year. I might still go to the exact same schools to talk to the exact same kids… But now I’ll empower them with a different type of knowledge that I think can free them.
So, universe… there you go. I’ve set my intention, made it public, and setting my internal radar to attract what I need to attract to make this happen. If you’re reading this; I thank you and love you and appreciate your support. Namaste!
PS
I got some major witness upvotes. I’m now 55 and climbing. I have 140 votes which is actually quite a bit more than some of the witnesses ahead of me. They’re on notice. This is an integral part of my life change. I take it very seriously and will show results of how I can be a great community member here.
Also, while I’m doing this I’m nearly at 1200 followers. ~20 more or so I’ll be in the top 100 most followed steemit authors. I’m looking forward to that post!!!
Love,
Please vote for me for Witness!

trace
{function-name}* ⇒ trace-result
untrace
{function-name}* ⇒ untrace-result
function-name—a function name.
trace-result—implementation-dependent, unless no function-names are supplied, in which case trace-result is a list of function names.
untrace-result—implementation-dependent.
trace and untrace control the invocation of the trace facility.
Invoking trace with one or more function-names causes the denoted functions to be "traced." Whenever a traced function is invoked, information about the call, about the arguments passed, and about any eventually returned values is printed to trace output. If trace is used with no function-names, no tracing action is performed; instead, a list of the functions currently being traced is returned.
Invoking untrace with one or more function names causes those functions to be "untraced" (i.e., no longer traced). If untrace is used with no function-names, all functions currently being traced are untraced.
If a function to be traced has been open-coded (e.g., because it was declared inline), a call to that function might not produce trace output.
(defun fact (n) (if (zerop n) 1 (* n (fact (- n 1))))) ⇒ FACT (trace fact) ⇒ (FACT) ;; Of course, the format of traced output is implementation-dependent. (fact 3) |> 1 Enter FACT 3 |> | 2 Enter FACT 2 |> | 3 Enter FACT 1 |> | | 4 Enter FACT 0 |> | | 4 Exit FACT 1 |> | 3 Exit FACT 1 |> | 2 Exit FACT 2 |> 1 Exit FACT 6 ⇒ 6
Might change the definitions of the functions named by function-names.
Whether the functions named are defined or already being traced.
Tracing an already traced function, or untracing a function not currently being traced, should produce no harmful effects, but might signal a warning.
*trace-output*, step
trace and untrace may also accept additional implementation-dependent argument formats. The format of the trace output is implementation-dependent.
Although trace can be extended to permit non-standard options, implementations are nevertheless encouraged (but not required) to warn about the use of syntax or options that are neither specified by this standard nor added as an extension by the implementation, since they could be symptomatic of typographical errors or of reliance on features supported in implementations other than the current implementation.

Getting Started with jBPM 4.0 (Part III)
In this entry, we are going to deploy the built process definition into jBPM server. Basically, we need to deploy two artifacts, one is the process definition file, which is archived as .bar file, the other is the classes file that will be needed.
Deploy the process definition into jBPM server
jBPM offer its ant jBPM deploy task out of box, the example also uses this way to deploy the process definiton, the other way to do it is to move this .bar file to the jboss deploy folder directly, it will be pick up and deployed into db as well, thanks to the jBPM deployer that leverage JBoss AS 5 deployer framework.
In order to use both these ways, we will add the build.xml to help us do the bar, jar build work.
below is the code snippet from the build.xml.
<target name="jar" depends="init">
<mkdir dir="${basedir}/target/classes" />
<javac srcdir="${basedir}/src/main/java"
destdir="${basedir}/target/classes"
classpathref="classpath.lib" />
<jar destfile="${basedir}/target/helloworld.jar" >
<fileset dir="${basedir}/target/classes">
<include name="**/*.class" />
</fileset>
</jar>
</target>
<target name="bar" depends="init">
<jar destfile="${basedir}/target/helloworld.bar">
<fileset dir="${basedir}/src/main/resources">
<include name="*.jpdl.xml"/>
</fileset>
</jar>
</target>
we will look into both two deployment ways, one is using ant task, the other is using jBPM deployer, the underlie is the same, it is using the RepositoryService to do the deployment work.
- using jBPM deployer.
<target name="deploy" description="deploys the business archives into jboss"
depends=" jar,bar">
<mkdir dir="${jboss.server.config.dir}/deploy/jbpm/userlibs"/>
<copy file="${basedir}/target/helloworld.bar"
todir="${jboss.server.config.dir}/deploy/jbpm/userlibs"
overwrite="true" />
<copy file="${basedir}/target/helloworld.jar"
todir="${jboss.server.config.dir}/deploy/jbpm/userlibs"
overwrite="true" />
</target>
- Use the jBPM deployer ANT task.
<target name="jbpm.deploy"
description="deploys the business archives"
depends=" jar, bar">
<copy file="${jbpm.home}/db/hibernate.cfg/${database}.hibernate.cfg.xml"
tofile="${basedir}/target/classes/jbpm.hibernate.cfg.xml"
overwrite="true">
<filterset filtersfile="${jbpm.home}/db/jdbc/${database}.properties" />
</copy>
<copy file="${basedir}/src/test/resources/jbpm.cfg.xml"
tofile="${basedir}/target/classes/jbpm.cfg.xml"
/>
<taskdef name="jbpm-deploy"
classname="org.jbpm.pvm.internal.ant.JbpmDeployTask"
classpathref="classpath.lib" />
<jbpm-deploy file="${basedir}/target/helloworld.bar" />
<mkdir dir="${jboss.server.config.dir}/deploy/jbpm/userlibs" />
<copy file="${basedir}/target/helloworld.jar"
todir="${jboss.server.config.dir}/deploy/jbpm/userlibs"
overwrite="true" />
</target>
Note: The jBPM server needs to be up and running, and then you deploy the process archive into server through either way.
jBPM console tour
After we deployed our process, we will use the console to see the process information etc.
Let's login http://localhost:8080/jbpm-console, with the 'alex/password' combination, it will direct us to the console homepage, as following page.
Click the 'Runtime' tab from the left menu panel, we can see the 'Deployments' and 'Jobs' links. Click the 'Deployments', we can see the helloworld.bar that we just deployed.
@80
Click the 'Processes' tab from the left menu panel, we can see the 'Definition List' link, click it, it will show us all of the process definitions as following.
Click the 'Process Instances' tab from the right area, click the 'start' button, which will start the process definition, its instace detail looks like:
Also, look on the server's console, you would notice that following lines:
17:37:44,566 INFO [STDOUT] --------------------
17:37:44,567 INFO [STDOUT] Made a request.....
17:37:44,567 INFO [STDOUT] ---------------------
So, it means, the started process instance already gone through the java node, and right now is on the 'review' activity node. Remembered that we assigned this task to 'alex' in the process definition, and we login the console by using alex, so we should be able to see this task in the task tab from left panel.
Click the 'Tasks' -> 'Task Lists' -> 'Personal Tasks', you would see the page as following.
You can view or release this task. Currently, if you click the 'view' button, it will tell you that 'The task doesn't provide a UI'. we haven't added the UI page for this task yet, which we will talk about it in the next entry.
Because this entry is a bit lengthy, I think it is better that I make a summary here. Basically we talked about two ways to deploy the process and its classes into jBPM server, once you've deployed it, you should be able to see as much as information from the jbpm console, which is very fancy, built based on GWT.
In the next entry, I will try to talk about the task form in the console, stay tuned.

Obama claims Hampton Inn is his preferred hotel because of its simplicity
by Alexandra DeablerSometimes consistency is all you need for a good hotel stay.
TOKYO HOTEL FINDS CREEPY USE FOR UNDERBOOKED ROOM
Former President Barack Obama shared his favorite hotels to stay in while on the road — and they’re not fancy boutiques or ones with presidential suites. Instead, Obama apparently prefers the straight-forward amenities of the Hampton Inn hotel chain.
The former president was speaking at a conference in Atlanta on Wednesday when he shared his fondness for the hotel, claiming he enjoys the simplicity of the rooms.
“Before I go to bed, [I] go from room to room to turn off all the lights, and there are a bunch of different lamps, and sometimes they hide where the light switches are because they want to make them look really cool,” Obama said, per The Washington Post. “And it might take me 15 minutes to shut down, where if I was just in the Hampton Inn, there’s like one light switch, one bathroom door, and the bed, and the TV remote; I’m good.”

The Hampton Inn boasts over 2,000 locations across the globe, according to its website. Though the hotel chain is basic with the amenities — single rooms with a king or double beds, flat-screen tv and hot breakfast in the morning — that’s part of the charm, at least for Obama.
“These presidential suites — there are so many rooms and I get lost,” Obama said.

Obama, meanwhile, is not the first president to enjoy a stay at the Hampton Inn — now officially known as the Hampton by Hilton — which is owned by Hilton Worldwide.
“We have a long history of U.S. presidents visiting and staying at our properties, and we’re pleased that President Obama has also had a Hampton guest experience. We’d welcome him back any time,” Hilton’s corporate communications vice president, Nigel Glennie, told The Washington Post in an email. “In fact, many of my D.C. friends speak to it being a feature on political campaigns, given Hamptons are in so many locations. Most people remember the hot breakfasts, including the famous Hampton waffles!"

Yes, you can get Disney+ on your PlayStation 4
Best Answer: Yes, you can get Disney+ on PlayStation 4, allowing you to stream your favorite shows and movies on your trust console rather than relying on apps on your smart TV.
Disney, Disney, Disney!: Disney+ ($7/month at Disney+)
So I can get Disney+ on my PlayStation console?
As long as you have a PlayStation 4, yes. Disney+ is available on PlayStation 4 consoles, but if you are still using a PlayStation 3, Disney+ will not be coming to it. Sony ended PlayStation 3 support in March 2019, so .
What if I don't have a PlayStation 4?
Don't worry, Disney+ is available on a plethora of platforms and devices. Here are all of the devices that you can watch Disney+ on, and there's a high chance that you own at least one of these already:
- Android phones and tablets
- Android TV devices
- Amazon Fire TV devices
- Google Chromecast
- Apple phones and tablets
- Apple TV
- Desktop web browsers
- Xbox One
- PlayStation 4
- Android-based Sony TVs
- Samsung smart TVs
- LG smart TVs
- Roku and Roku TV
All of these will have the Disney+ app available from their respective digital storefronts on launch.
What is Disney+?
Disney+ is the streaming service where you're exclusively most Disney family-friendly content going forward, with access to hundreds of films and thousands of TV episodes from Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Fox, and National Geographic, and of course Disney.
A lot of Disney content on other streaming services has been or will be pulled after current license agreements expire and will be living on Disney+. This has been a long time coming, but the transition of content to Disney+ will still take a couple of years, especially with the recently acquired 20th Centur Fox content.
How much does Disney+ cost?
By itself, Disney+ will be $7 a month or $70 annually. However, there will be a bundle that has Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu (with ads) for $13 a month.
