Introduction
CrossCheck is a highly composable and ergonomic validation library.
It was extracted from Conde Nast CMS system, which supports more than 100 brands with similar, but not always identical validation requirements. This environment gives rise to significant extensibility requirements, so CrossCheck's primitives are designed with extensibility in mind.
All CrossCheck primitives produce well-typed, well-defined JSON objects. This is intended to allow applications to store schemas in a database or build UIs to generate them.
Extensibility First
CrossCheck schemas can be extended. You can create a single base type that can be customized for different uses or by different brands in a larger organization.
CrossCheck schemas can be evolved without big-bang data migrations. Instead, data created under v1 of a schema can be viewed through the lens of v2 of the same schema. Schema evolution is baked into CrossCheck from the ground up.
CrossCheck schemas are resilient to old, invalid data or improperly imported data. Define fix-up rules for invalid data and CrossCheck can clean up broken data on the fly. No need to run migrations against all your old data or force every API client to harden itself against the possibility of broken data.
Important Schema Features
- Draft Mode: Defining a schema automatically generates a "draft schema", to make it easier to save in-progress work that doesn't yet satisfy the strict schema requirements.
- Rich Types: Any concept that you can write a validation function for can be used as a schema type: URL, single word string, Date formatted as 8601, etc.
- Composable Types: Put types inside of lists or dictionaries, and get errors when the constituent parts are invalid.
- Custom Types: Turn any CrossCheck validator into a CrossCheck schema type.
- TypeScript Support: Turn any CrossCheck schema into a TypeScript interface.
- Pretty Printing: Use the CrossCheck formatter API to turn your schema into the format expected by another library. Need to generate MobX classes? Want to generate GraphQL schemas? No problem!
Important Validator Features
- Value-based: Validate values, not just objects ("validate that this value is a titlecase string")
- Async: Validators can be async ("validate that this is a unique email address")
- No exceptions: Validators produce an error list and don't throw exceptions
- Easy to Localize: Validation errors are structured data, not an English string (so errors can be easily localized)
- Composable: Validators can be pipelined: "this type should not be null, and then it should be a string, and then it should be a valid email". Sub-validators can be reused, making it easier to build up larger validations and ensuring that errors have a consistent structure.
- Framework Friendly: Validation rules are agnostic to how properties are looked up inside of object (so they naturally support Immutable.js or other APIs that look up properties using
.get
or similar) - Pretty Printing: CrossCheck can pretty-print validators for documentation and debugging
- A single validator can produce multiple errors
Schema
Crosscheck Schemas allow you to define a schema for your data and use the schema to validate the data.
Uniquely, it allows you to differentiate between "draft" data and published data without creating two separate schema definitions.
For example, if a field in your schema has the "URL" type, you can allow that field to hold any string while the record is being drafted.
This reduces friction when saving initial drafts of content types. It also makes it easy to implement "auto-save", which is optimized for saving in-progress data.
Basic Usage
First, let's define a schema.
import { Schema, type } from "@cross-check/schema";
const schema = new Schema({
// SingleLine is a string that contains no newlines.
// Required means that the field must not be missing
title: type.SingleLine().required(),
subtitle: type.SingleLine(),
// Text is a string that can contain newlines
body: type.Text().required(),
// SingleWord is a string with no whitespace at all
tags: type.List(type.SingleWord()),
geo: Dictionary({
lat: type.Float().required(),
long: type.Float().required()
})
});
Now, let's try to validate some content:
> schema.validate({});
[{
message: { key: "type", args: "present" },
path: ["title"]
}, {
message: { key: "type", args: "present" },
path: ["body"]
}]
The first thing to notice here is that Crosscheck returns a list of errors, rather than raising an exception. This allows you to use these errors in an interactive UI, and provide richer error information over web services.
Additionally, Crosscheck errors are returned as data: a kind of error and the arguments to the validation. This allows you to present the errors in using application-appropriate language, as well as properly internationalize error messages.
Under the hood, Crosscheck Schema uses the advanced @cross-check/core
validation library to validate objects, a validation library extracted from the real-world requirements of the Conde Nast CMS. Its compositional, asynchronous core makes it a perfect fit for validating schemas with embedded lists and dictionaries. To learn more about the philosophy and mechanics of Crosscheck Validations, check out its README.
Drafts
The schema we wrote is pretty strict. It absolutely requires a title and body. But when we're drafting an article, we don't want to be bothered with this kind of busywork just to save in-progress content. And worse, how could we implement auto-save for our form if our authors need to fix a bunch of validation errors before they can even get off the ground.
To solve this problem, every schema creates a looser "draft" schema at the same time.
> schema.draft.validate({});
[]
Because we're validating the draft version of the schema, a completely empty document is totally fine.
But not any kind of document will validate in the draft schema.
> schema.draft.validate({ title: 12, geo: { lat: "100", long: "50" } });
[{
message: { key: "type", args: "string" },
path: ["title"]
}, {
message: { key: "type", args: "number" },
path: ["geo", "lat"]
}, {
message: { key: "type", args: "number" },
path: ["geo", "long"]
}]
Even though we are generally loose with the kind of document we're willing to accept as a draft, we're still expected to pass the right basic data types if we send anything at all.
The philosophy of drafts comes from two observations:
- We want to allow clients to send in-progress data that the user hasn't finished filling out, but the user is not responsible for picking the data type. For example, if a field is supposed to be a number, the client should user an appropriate number field, and pass a number back to the server.
- Servers need to store data in data stores (like relational databases) that apply some structure to the data. As a result, even when clients send drafts to the server, we want to be able to impose some constraints on the form of the data.
To give a concrete example, consider a Url
type that requires that its data is a valid URL. That type allows any string at all to be provided when used in draft mode. This satisfies the "auto-save" heuristic: the end user can type any text into the text box provided by the CMS, and we want to be able to save a draft even during this period.
Required and Optional Fields
As the above example illustrated, you can mark any field as required. If a field is not marked as required, it is optional.
import { Schema, type } from "@cross-check/schema";
const Person = new Schema({
first: type.SingleLine().required(),
middle: type.SingleLine(),
last: type.SingleLine().required()
});
This Person
schema requires a first and last name, but makes the middle name optional.
> Person.validate({})
[{
message: { key: "first", args: "present" },
path: ["title"]
}, {
message: { key: "last", args: "present" },
path: ["body"]
}]
> Person.draft.validate({})
[]
> Person.validate({ first: "Christina", last: "Kung" })
[]
> Person.validate({ first: "Christina", middle: "multi\nline", last: "Kung" })
[{
message: { key: "type", args: "string:single-line" },
path: ["middle"]
}]
> Person.draft.validate({ first: "Christina", middle: "multi\nline", last: "Kung" })
[] // the draft version of a single-line string is any string
> Person.draft.validate({ first: "Christina", middle: 12, last: "Kung" })
[{
message: { key: "type", args: "string" },
path: ["middle"]
}] // but you still can't pass a number
Lists
You can also say that a field contains a list of items of a particular type.
import { Schema, type } from "@cross-check/schema";
const Article = new Schema({
headline: type.SingleLine(),
body: type.Text(),
tags: type.List(type.SingleWord())
});
This Article schema has an optional headline and body, and an optional list of single words.
> Article.validate({ tags: "sometag" })
[{
message: { key: "type", args: "array" },
path: ["tags"]
}]
> Article.validate({ tags: [12, 15] })
[{
message: { key: "type", args: "string" },
path: ["tags", "0"]
}, {
message: { key: "type", args: "string" },
path: ["tags", "1"]
}]
> Article.validate({ tags: ["whoops too many words", "totes-fine"] })
[{
message: { key: "type", args: "string:single-word" },
path: ["tags", "0"]
}]
> Article.draft.validate({ tags: [12, 15] })
[{
message: { key: "type", args: "string" },
path: ["tags", "0"]
}, {
message: { key: "type", args: "string" },
path: ["tags", "1"]
}] // Even in draft mode, a number is not a string
> Article.validate({ tags: ["too many words", "totes-fine"] })
[] // but in draft mode, weird strings are ok
A list can contain other lists, dictionaries, or any other type.
Dictionaries
A field can also contain a dictionary.
import { Schema, type } from "@cross-check/schema";
const Location = new Schema({
geo: type.Dictionary({
lat: type.Float().required(),
long: type.Float().required()
})
})
This location schema has a single geo
field that contains a dictionary with two fields: a lat, which is a number, and a long, which is also a number. We have marked the lat
and long
as required, which means that if the dictionary is present, it must contain both a lat
and long
.
Since the dictionary itself is optional, you can leave off the dictionary itself.
> Location.validate({});
[] // geo is optional
> Location.validate({ geo: { lat: 12 } })
[{
message: { key: "type", args: "present" },
path: ["geo", "long"]
}]

Philosophy
CrossCheck's primary goal is to create a highly composable and ergonomic validation system.
High Level Architecture
The data structures and core functions are found in @cross-check/core
to create a small, well-defined composition boundary. The primary data structure in @cross-check/core
is ValidationDescriptor
.
Higher level tools for building up validations are found in @cross-check/dsl
. Validators written against the interfaces in @cross-check/core
will compose reliably with validators created using the higher level abstractions (including the object oriented abstractions).
Finally, while @cross-check/core
and @cross-check/dsl
validate values, @cross-check/schema
validates entire records against a schema, with facilities optimized for that use case. The @cross-check/schema
library also creates ValidationDescriptor
, and the errors produced when validating a schema are the same ValidationError
s in @cross-check/core
.
TypeScript Hardened
CrossCheck defines a handful of core, composable interfaces that are defined rigorously in TypeScript. Convenience abstractions are layered on top, sharing a stable core primitive.
// A validation descriptor is an instance of a validator including a descriptive
// name and its options
interface ValidationDescriptor<T, Options> {
name: string;
validator(options: Options): Validator<T>;
options: Options;
}
// A validator is a function that takes a value and produces (asynchronously)
// a list of validation errors.
type Validator<T> = (value: T) => Promise<ValidationError[]>;
// A validation error is a path to error and an error message, which contains
// the name of the error and additional details provided by the validator.
interface ValidationError {
path: string[];
message: {
name: string;
details: unknown;
}
}
Composition at the Core
The CrossCheck core data structure is called ValidationDescriptor
, and its goal is to provide a highly composable but relatively unopinionated primitive for building composed validators.

This makes it possible to validate that a single string matches a particular format, or that a number is greater than some lower bound.
To validate an object, CrossCheck validates the object as a "value" and uses composition to validate its constituent parts. Several design decisions of the core data structure make such composition possible:
- A single validator can return any number of errors. This makes it possible for a single validator to run sub-validators on sub-parts of the object in question.
- Validation errors include a path member, which provides the path to the place where the error occurred. Validations that validate sub-properties, like the object or array validator, prepend the path that they plucked off. This also allows arbitrary nesting: each validator that plucks off a sub-part of an object prepends the path it added.
These design decisions also make array validations relatively consistent: an array validator runs the same sub-validator on every element of the array, and produces an error whose path is the index into the array.
This makes validating an array of objects containing members that are themselves arrays of objects a standard composition in CrossCheck.
There is no distinction between a "single value" and an object or array. A value is a value is a value. Composition takes care of the rest.
No Exceptions and No Mutation
CrossCheck validations are functional, not effectful.
CrossCheck never mutates the underlying objects in order to validate them or report errors. It also does not throw exceptions in order to report validation errors like many schema validation libraries.
The CrossCheck validation process reads data from objects and produces an array of error messages.
Localization Agnostic, But Formatting Friendly
Validation libraries usually make formatting a responsibility of individual validators.
This forces a hard choice between bad options:
- provide no localization solution at all
- hardcode support for a specific localization library
- force people to write new implementations of the validations for each localization solution they want to use
The CrossCheck validation function produces a data structure containing enough information to create localized, formatted error messages, rather than making formatting an additional responsibility of validators.
[{
"path": ["lat"],
"message": {
"key": "gt",
"args": { "expected": 0, "actual": -50 }
}
}]
Validators themselves are responsible for producing these error message data structures, but not for formatting. This allows validators to remain compact and still relatively easy to write, while allowing for robust and high-quality localizations.
In practice, higher-level libraries written on top of these primitives should expose integration with localization libraries, but validators themselves can remain agnostic to those questions.
UI Friendly
A good validation library provides rich error information to a human end-user, typically presented via an interactive UI.
This means that attempting to validate an entire object must:
- produce a list of validation errors
- identify precisely where the validation errors occured in a way that is consumable by an interactive UI
- provide the error messages in a format that can be localized into various languages and contexts
This stands in contrast with traditional schema libraries, which usually assume that they are validating data against programmer error, and accept or reject entire entities.
CrossCheck schemas are built on top of the CrossCheck validation primitive, which means that when a document fails to validate, you get a list of rich errors back that can be presented to an end user.
In our original design exploration for CrossCheck, we wrote:
The accurate placement of errors in a form (a UI concern!) is a key requirement of a good validation library.
This is still a good guiding principle for CrossCheck. A good validation library cannot avoid considering UI concerns in its core design.
Framework Agnostic, But Framework Friendly
CrossCheck was extracted from the requirements of a working validation system that powered Condé Nast's CMS, which is written in Ember.
One of the main goals of the extraction was to allow people to define validation rules for their forms without needing to understand Ember or its object model.
However, we wanted to make it possible to write validators that could be shared between vanilla environments and frameworks.
This mostly amounts to two concerns.
First, applications should be able to expose well-defined "services" to validations. If a validator depends on such a service, and somebody wants to use the validator in a different environment (such as React Native), they will have a clear, pure-JavaScript definition of what they will need to implement.
In practice, this means that integrations can expose things like a configuration service or feature flagging infrastructure.
Second, it should be possible to write a validator that looks up properties on an object, agnostic to how those properties should be looked up. For example, looking up a property in an Immutable.js Map requires the user to use .get(). Knockout turns computed getters into functions (to look up firstName on a Person object, you say person.firstName()).
In the case of both of these issues (services and getters), the philosophy of CrossCheck is to expose hooks on an "Environment" that framework integrators can use to abstract these distinctions. Validators receive this environment as a parameter, and if validator definitions work through the Environment (e.g. looking up properties by using environment.get rather than direct indexing), they will be reusable in more environments and with more kinds of data structures.
Because it can be difficult to remember to work through the environment all the time, the @cross-check/dsl library provides a number of abstractions that do the work for you. For example, the object() validator provided by @cross-check/dsl automatically looks up sub-properties by using environment.get.

I make both extensions from both high quality synthetic kenakelon hair, as well as human hair. These extensions can be braided into your hair to provide temporary dreadlocks, as well dreaded into your hair to give extra length to pre-exisiting dreads.
I am also happy to work with human hair to make these extensions. Human hair is considerably more expensive, but is more realistic.

Cheaper Alternatives ?
I use a mix of backcombing and crocheting to make these dreads which is a very time consuming process but results in beautiful, high quality dreadlocks.
There are cheaper alternatives to the crocheted dread extensions that I offer, which I am more than happy to install for you. However these locs are of noticeably lower quality:
They are only backcombed and heatsealed
They can unravel over time and will need more upkeep
They are less realistic
They may be made from lower quality hair

DISNEY'S THE KID
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Walt Disney Pictures Director: Jon Turteltaub Writer: Audrey Wells Cast: Bruce Willis, Spencer Breslin, Emily Mortimer, Lily Tomlin, Chi McBride Screened at: Loews E-Walk, NYC
While watching this family movie, I couldn't help thinking of a friend I have--call him Fred. Fred teaches social studies in junior high school and hates himself. Not that teaching in a public school should be considered demeaning, but this guy graduated with honors from Columbia University. A reunion was coming up back in 1971, so I asked him whether he was excited. "I'm not going," he said with a grimace. "I can see myself re-introducing myself to my old classmates. Two guys are surgeons, one's a Wall Street tycoon, another is an adviser to the governor." Yeah, so? I asked. "So they'll ask me what I do, and I'll say I teach history at JHS 224 in Brooklyn. And do you know what they'll say? They'll say, 'Hey, Fred, you always were good for a few jokes. Now tell us: what do you really do?'"
Fred was indeed always good for a laugh and he told the story in a joking way, but I could see underneath his bonhomie was a sad man indeed. When he enrolled in this privileged, Ivy League institution, he wanted to be a doctor like his father, and take over the old man's Manhattan Beach (Brooklyn) practice. But he just couldn't cut the mustard. Quite a few of us are like Fred, I'll bet...we dreamed first of being firemen and cops, but then by the time high school and college rolled around, we had more lofty ambitions--doctor, lawyer, pilot, CEO. Somehow, something didn't turn out right and by the time we're forty years old we figure, that's it, this is what I'll be doing until I retire...teacher, middle management, freelance consultant.
Jon Turteltaub's "Disney's The Kid" may be made principally for the little ones but for the big guys who, like Fred, have tasted life's disappointments, the movie can hit home--even draw a tear or two in its sentimental patches. (If you're not sure they're meant to be sentimental, Marc Shaiman's soaring music will clue you in when to cry). Like "Frequency" in theme--but without Gregory Hoblit's spooky ambience--"Disney's The Kid" focuses on a 40-year-old who is not doing what he dreamed of doing. Eventually, we learn what happened to him at the age of eight that gave him a twitch in the eye and led him to become a middle-aged guy without a wife, with few if any real friends, and worst of all, without even a dog. We learn at the same time as this man, Russ Duritz (Bruce Willis), because a spot of magic has Russ meet up with himself at eight years of age when he was called Rusty (Spencer Breslin). Yep: little Rusty appears without even a clap of thunder or a bolt of lightning, and for the next week or so they bond and learn. The kid learns what will become of him. The dad finds out where he went wrong.
Although Russ surrendered his childhood dream, we may find it difficult to be sympathetic. After all the guy has a spacious home housing a brand-new shiny black Porsche and is the owner of a public relations firm with himself as "image maker" with clients like the state's governor, the city's mayor, various executives looking to improve the way they come across in public. He even gives pro bono advice to an anchorwoman on the eleven o'clock news whom he takes on briefly while they are seatmates in first class, advising her to shorten both her hair and her nails. For those of us ordinary guys who like to think that money can't buy happiness, this movie is a godsend because if you buy that premise, you might think that maybe even Bruce Willis--who made $54.5 million last year to put himself at the numero uno position among actors--might be a tad unhappy.
Bruce Willis acts out Audrey Wells's clever, though never really hilarious script in such a way that we're never convinced that he was ever a jerk--not now, not thirty-two years ago. For that, you'd have to substitute Steve Martin for Willis.  Sure, the kid was beaten up at recess time by a big bully, and sure, the little guy is subject to a pratfall or two, but a loser? No way. Nonetheless as the well-heeled, well-trimmed Russ (Willis lost quite a bit of weight for the role) watches himself as a boy, he does realize that he was always smarter than most and that with some more confidence and less weight and perhaps a few boxing lessons from a champ like Kenny (Chi McBride), he would have grown up to become that pilot and would understand why his dad often treated him so harshly that he took on a permanent twitch in his eye.
Spencer Breslin as the kid is obviously at home as an actor, having begun his career at age 3 and has since been in 50 TV commercials. (He's the guy who would recite the "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun") but after a while his rambunctiousness and in-your-face assertiveness becomes grating. Russ's relationship with Amy (Emily Mortimer) doesn't look real and in fact the news anchorwoman played by Jean Smart would be more of the right match for him. Lily Tomlin, however, is well cast as Russ's assistant, Janet, the kid of helper that any boss would love to have--efficient, funny, able to talk back to the taskmaster as though she were an equal. As a whole, the picture is probably over the heads of the targeted audience who may not really understand what is at stake here but at the same time has reasonable appeal for adults who had to give up their own dreams. Once again, though, isn't it difficult to sympathize with a guy who has everything--looks, physique, profession, sports car, a pad that could cover the pages of Architectural Digest--and who could easily pick up a dog and a lovely mate for the asking--but who missed out on becoming a pilot?

Everton confirm club working on new deal for Richarlison
Everton are putting the finishing touches on a new contract extension for Brazil international Richarlison, director of football Marcel Brands has revealed.
The 22-year-old joined the Toffees from Watford during July 2018 in a deal understood to be worth around £40million.
Richarlison has scored five goals for Everton this season, as the Goodison Park club fight to climb the Premier League table, with the position of manager Marco Silva under scrutiny.
Brands said on Everton TV: "We have to look positive ahead, and I try to do that always.
"One of the positive things during a week like this which happened is we are now busy with the last details of extending the contract with one of our key players Richarlison until 2024.
"That is something positive, especially for the long-term of course."
A 2-0 home defeat by struggling Norwich put further pressure on Silva, with some fans calling for him to be dismissed.
Brands, though, maintains everyone at the club must put on a united front.
"As a board, we have got to support that. Of course, we know in sport, as always, you have to perform – that's me, the manager, the players, for everyone," he said.
"It's also important, especially in this club, after a couple of years of instability, to stick together in this situation.
"I think it is important that everyone has the feeling that we can turn this around to better results.
"Most people know that I always go to the dressing room after the game, to see how the atmosphere is.
"Of course, everyone was disappointed last Saturday, but you saw also really in the eyes of the players the fire that they want to resolve this, to turn this around – together with the whole staff.
"That's important coming up towards the next couple of games. They will be tough games, but games where we can improve."

Inspired by the book of Swaroop C H - A Byte of Python
Python was conceived in the late 1980s by Guido van Rossum.
Many of Python's features originated from an interpreted language called ABC.
Guido van Rossum is a big fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus
Where are my curly brackets?! |
Mainly of two types - integers and floats.
- Specified between double quotes or simple quotes
- You can specify multi-line strings using triple quotes - (""" or ''').
'''This is a multi-line string. This is the first line.
This is the second line.
"What's your name?," I asked.
He said "Bond, James Bond."
'''
- Strings are immutable
- The format method - Best practice to concatenate strings:
age = 20
name = 'Swaroop'
print '{0} was {1} years old when he wrote this book'.format(name, age)
print 'Why is {0} playing with that python?'.format(name)
#or
print '{} was {} years old when he wrote this book'.format(name, age)
print 'Why is {} playing with that python?'.format(name)
- Raw String
If you need to specify some strings whithout esacping sequences, then what you need is to specify a raw string by prefixing r or R to the string. An example is:
r"Newlines are indicated by \n"
For calculating
| + (plus) | - (minus) | * (multiply) |
| ** (power) | / (divide) | % (modulo) |
For comparing
| < (less than) | <= (less than or equal to) |
| > (greater than) | >= (greater than or equal to) |
| == (equal to) | != (not equal to) |
| not (boolean NOT) | |
| and (boolean AND) | or (boolean OR) |
For playing with bit
| << (left shift) | >> (right shift) | & (bit-wise AND)... |
number = 23
guess = int(raw_input('Enter an integer : '))
if guess == number:
print 'Congratulations, you guessed it.'

else:
print 'No, it is a little lower than that'
print 'Done'

# Do other kinds of processing here...
Acquiring a resource in the try block and subsequently releasing the resource in the finally block.
with statement enables this in a clean manner:
with open("poem.txt") as f:
for line in f:
print line,
more
Functions are defined using the def keyword and ended with a colon:
def find_max(a, b):
'''Gets the maximum of two numbers.
The two values must be integers.'''
if a > b:
return a
if a == b:
return None
return b
max = find_max(3, 4) # call the function
if max is not None:
print max, 'is maximum'
else:
print 'values are identical'
Python has a nifty feature called documentation strings, usually referred to by its shorter name docstrings.
print find_max.__doc__ returns
Gets the maximum of two numbers. The two values must be integers.
Default Argument Values
def func(a, b=5, c=10):
print 'a is', a, 'and b is', b, 'and c is', c
func(1)
func(3, 7)
func(25, c=24)
func(c=50, a=100)
Output
a is 1 and b is 5 and c is 10 a is 3 and b is 7 and c is 10 a is 25 and b is 5 and c is 24 a is 100 and b is 5 and c is 50
VarArgs parameters
Sometimes you might want to define a function that can take any number of parameters, this can be achieved by using the stars
def total(initial=5, *numbers, **keywords):
count = initial
for number in numbers:
count += number
for key in keywords:
count += keywords[key]
return count
print total(10, 1, 2, 3, vegetables=50, fruits=100)
*numbers parameter is transformed into a tuple
**keywords are collected as a dictionary
Lambda Form
A lambda statement is used to create new function objects
Ascending sort on key 'y'
points = [ { 'x' : 2, 'y' : 3 },
{ 'x' : 4, 'y' : 1 } ]
points.sort(key=lambda i : i['y'])
Output
[{'y': 1, 'x': 4}, {'y': 3, 'x': 2}]
All variables have the scope of the block they are declared
in starting from the point of definition of the name.
|
Variable declared in main block
|
Usage of the global statement
|
|
Output: x is 50 Changed local x to 2 x is still 50 |
Output: x is 50 Changed global x to 2 Value of x is 2 |
The simplest way is to create a file with a .py extension that contains functions and variables.
A module can be imported by another program to make use of its functionality.
import sys
print('The command line arguments are:')
for i in sys.argv:
print i
Output
$ python module_using_sys.py we are arguments The command line arguments are: module_using_sys.py we are arguments
Other kind of import
from math import sqrt
print "Square root of 16 is", sqrt(16)
Avoids typing the math. everytime.
from mymodule import *
This will import all public names of your module.
import os as real_os
from os import fdopen as os_fdopen, exit, stat as os_stat
Binds objects from that module to a local name
Module's name
Every module has a name and statements in a module can find out the name of their module.
if __name__ == '__main__':
print 'This program is being run by itself'
else:
print 'I am being imported from another module'
This is handy for the particular purpose of figuring out whether the module is being run standalone or being imported
Packages are just folders of modules with a special __init__.py file that indicates
to Python that this folder is special because it contains Python modules.
This is how you would structure the folders:
-/ - world/ - __init__.py - asia/ - __init__.py - india/ - __init__.py - foo.py - africa/ - __init__.py - madagascar/ - __init__.py - bar.py
Ordered collection of items.
List is a mutable data type.
shoplist = ['apple', 'mango', 'carrot', 'banana']
Tuples are used to hold together multiple items.
They are immutable.
zoo = ('python', 'elephant', 'penguin')
A dictionary is like an address-book, you can find by knowing only his/her name to get values (details).
You can use only immutable objects (like strings) for the keys of a dictionary.
Values can use either immutable or mutable objects.
ab = { 'Swaroop'<EMAIL_ADDRESS>'Larry'<EMAIL_ADDRESS>'Matsumoto'<EMAIL_ADDRESS>'Spammer'<EMAIL_ADDRESS>}
Lists, tuples and strings are examples of sequences.
Indexing operation
shoplist = ['apple', 'mango', 'carrot', 'banana']
print 'Item 0 is', shoplist[0]
Slicing operation
shoplist = ['apple', 'mango', 'carrot', 'banana']
print 'Item 1 to 3 is', shoplist[1:3]
print 'Item 2 to end is', shoplist[2:]
print 'Item 1 to -1 is', shoplist[1:-1]
print 'Item start to end is', shoplist[:]
Sets are unordered collections of unique elements.
bri = set(['brazil', 'russia', 'india'])
Objects are instances of the class.
|
|
Decorators @classmethod or a @staticmethod used for method that belongs to the class and not to the object.
All class members are public. There is one exception if you use data members
with names using the double underscore prefix such as __privatevar.
Those member are considered as "private".
Name-mangling is only used to avoid name clashes with names defined in subclasses.
Also, by convention, a name prefixed with an underscore (e.g. _spam)
should be treated as a non-public part of the API

def makebold(fn):
def wrapped():
return "" + fn() + ""
return wrapped
def makeitalic(fn):
def wrapped():
return "" + fn() + ""
return wrapped
@makebold
@makeitalic
def hello():
return "hello world"
print hello() ## returns hello world
This is helpful to "wrap" functionality with the same code over and over again.
The error or exception that you can raise should be a class which directly or indirectly must be a derived class of the Exception class.
import sys
try:
do_some_stuff()
except: # catch *all* exceptions
e = sys.exc_info()[0]
write_to_page( "Error: %s
" % e )
raise # will re-raise the last exception
finally:
cleanup_stuff()

1 found dead after Rochester house fire
by Associated PressROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) — Fire officials in upstate New York say one person has been found dead after a house fire.
The Democrat & Chronicle reports that a person delivering newspapers saw smoke billowing underneath the door of a house in North Winton Village in Rochester early Saturday and called 911.
Rochester Fire Lieutenant Ryan Fleming says the flames were extinguished about ten minutes after firefighters arrived.
Fleming says no one else was in the home at the time, and that it’s unclear if anyone else lived there or if there were working smoke alarms.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
No further details on the identity of the person were released.


Tesla reveals Cybertruck, a 6-passenger pickup featuring 3 motors, armored glass, and up to 500 miles of range, Business Insider - Business Insider Singapore
by Bryan Logan, Business Insider US- Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled “Cybertruck,” the company’s first passenger truck on Thursday night.
- The Cybertruck is made of a heavy-duty stainless steel and armored glass, and will be available in three configurations: single-motor rear-wheel-drive, dual-motor all-wheel-drive, and tri-motor all-wheel-drive.
- It can seat up to six passengers and travel up to 500 miles on a single charge. It starts at $39,990.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled the electric-car company’s newest vehicle, the Cybertruck, on Thursday night,
It’s the company’s first passenger truck.
“Trucks have been the same for a very long time,” Musk said in his opening remarks, while images of a variety of conventional passenger trucks flashed by on a screen behind him. A caption on the screen read: “100 years of the same.”
Soon, the Cybertruck rolled onto the stage, boasting an angular industrial shape, a single headlight that runs the width of the front end, and a matching tail light out back.
The Cybertruck is made of a heavy-duty exterior shell made from “ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel” and armored glass, according to Tesla. Musk took pains to show the Cybertruck as being unlike any other production passenger truck on the road, punctuated by a 100-cubic-foot cargo area, and up to 14,000 pounds of towing capacity.
Notably, Musk said, the Cybertruck employs the same alloy metal used in Starship, the stainless-steel rocket SpaceX is developing to be used for travel to Mars.
But it still comes with some conventional features like two rows of seats that can fit up to six passengers, an adaptive air suspension, and Tesla’s Autopilot semi-self-driving technology.
Musk says the Cybertruck will be available in three different range varieties: 250 miles, 300 miles, and 500 miles. It starts at $39,990.

+++ type = "article" title = "Learning to Program with Haiku" date = "2010-05-26T00:59:47.000Z" tags = [] +++
In January of 2010, I started publishing lessons on learning to program for Haiku, aimed at people who want to be able to write simple programs to get stuff done, but never had anyone around teach them. Years ago, I started teaching myself and am an active developer. It's my turn to give back.
All of these lessons are distributed under a Creative Commons license which allows free distribution for noncommercial purposes. Should you have questions, by all means contact me.
If you're a fan of the lessons and want to show appreciation or to have a copy of it on your desk while you work your way through, now you have a chance to have a high quality copy, and if you've been sitting on the fence about it, read a lesson or two and then decide for yourself. A hard copy of all of these lessons, compiled and further polished, can be found at the link below. Enjoy!
Learning to Program with Haiku at Lulu.com
Have you ever wanted to learn to program for Haiku (or something else) but never had the money or the chance? Has something else gotten in the way? This is quite an opportunity for someone who wants to learn to code. To kick things off, here's the first one.
In this lesson, we examine the different types of data we can use, a more in-depth look at how to print to the screen, and more!
Decision-making and repeating instructions are on the agenda for this one, expanding the repetoire of basic skills for writing code.
This lesson marks the end of the first unit and is somewhere around halfway from complete neophyte to writing -- and understanding -- our first program for Haiku which uses windows and buttons.
Here marks the beginning of the second unit in my series, "Learning to Program With Haiku." Lesson #6 expands on our knowledge of loops and decision-making constructs.
This one covers two major topics: memory management and binary math, nothing terribly exciting, but really useful and necessary nonetheless
Now we're starting to tie up loose ends before moving on to just C++. In this lesson, we learn more about pointers and kinda-sorta pointers called references, and we examine the basics of getting information from the command line.
This time around, we will be examining some important kinds of data structures and ways to create custom data types, a critical stepping stone in getting to understanding the Haiku API. This is the last C / C++ lesson -- the rest will be C++ only. A couple more lessons and we'll finally be ready to write GUI programs for Haiku!
This lesson introduces us to the wonderful world of C++ and Object Oriented Programming. It's not terribly code-heavy, so this might be a good time to look over past lessons to make sure you understand concepts pretty well -- it only gets bigger from here. :-)
Today we'll be diving headlong into the murky depths of C++ programming: classes and inheritance -- struct's with fancy tricks aplenty. It's also our last lesson before writing our first windowed Haiku program, so get ready and study well. Enjoy!
It's about time: our first program which does more than print stuff to the Terminal! Now the real fun begins!
Lesson 15 delves further into what writing basic applications are all about, looking at the API and its organization and focusing on an essential: messaging. Also included in this lesson are the finished sources for those who don't want to mess around with typing the project out.
This lesson takes a break from hacking the Haiku API to learn a few C++ language concepts needed to continue progress as an aspiring developer. Function overloading and operator overloading are examined in detail.
We are back to learning about hacking on the Haiku GUI after taking a short C++ language break. Today's topic? Menus. Also in this lesson is some expansion of what we know about messaging and BViews.
We're starting to get closer to the end of this Learning to Program series. After toying with menus and interface colors in the last lesson, we apply some of the concepts used with menus to get the hang of using list boxes and discover along the way a few bizarre sports that really exist. Games people play. Sheesh.
Ten years ago when I first started to learn to write code using BeOS, I had a lot of questions that I couldn't any documentation to give me the answers. Luckily, there was the Be Code Talk mailing list and kindhearted members of the community, like David Sowsy (Animaxo, Vesa Accepted). Resources are one of those things that eluded me. Eventually I figured them out, but Lesson 19 lays some of it out in plain conversation.
Moving on from exploring the Interface Kit, we turn our attention to the Storage Kit in this lesson. We take a look at the kit from a broad perspective and also begin using some of its many of the classes. We take a break from writing GUI applications and, instead, write a console directory-listing program using C++.
This lesson continues with delving into the Storage Kit, reading and writing files. We also start writing code for the final project of the Learning to Program With Haiku series which will be developed over the course of several lessons.
Usability is one of my pet topics. Although less so now that in years past, it is all-too-often ignored or not given enough priority. This lesson scratches the surface from a developer's point of view. I'm no usability expert, but I do know a thing or two. This lesson is a must-read for any budding developer, and by the end of it, we will have a good real-world program to show off which is just shy of being ready for a release.
This lesson finishes up the project that the last two have been about: HaikuFortune, a program which randomly chooses and displays a fortune in a window. It's not a very complicated one, but it exemplifies a reasonably well-coded real-world project. Although it was code complete as of the end of Lesson 22, it was not finished, missing icons and other resources. This concludes the project with adding resources, a basic discussion on source code licensing, and packaging a program for Haiku.
This also concludes the Learning to Program With Haiku lesson series. It's been a good run. Rest assured, though, that this is not the last lesson on Haiku programming that I will write. This series has been intended to turn a motivated power user into a developer using Haiku. It's been a lot of fun and many people have encouraged me with their kind words regarding it.
Later this summer I will start another yet-to-b e-named series which will continue where Learning to Program With Haiku is leaving off and introduce novice and intermediate developers to real coding specifically for Haiku and its nuances, such as multithreaded programming, add-on coding, queries and attributes, Tracker and more.

UN agency promises to assist east African SMEs access Indian market
by By Guardian ReporterTHE International Trade Centre (ITC) on Monday pledged to assist east Africa's small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to gain access to the India market.
Govind Venuprasad, coordinator of ITC's project dubbed Supporting Indian Trade and Investment for Africa (SITA) told Xinhua in Nairobi that it is providing small firms in Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda with advisory and strategic support to enable them to improve their competitiveness.
"By using partnership with Indian institutions and business, we are enabling east African SMEs in select agricultural value chains to boost their revenues through exports," Venuprasad said on the sidelines of the Kenya-Indian agribusiness forum.
The Federation of Indian Export Organizations (FIEO) is visiting Kenya with a delegation of 27 companies from India primarily in the agricultural sector who is seeking investment, joint venture and other business opportunities.
The beneficiaries of the SITA projects are in the textile, apparel, leather, spices, pulses and edible oil sectors.
ITC is also encouraging investment partnerships between Indian and eastern Africa companies as part of the south-south cooperation.
Venuprasad said that countries have traditionally relied on the west as key markets for their products. "We are keen to help the East African firms to diversify their product portfolio in order to enhance their incomes," he added.
He noted that one of the biggest challenges facing SMEs is access to finance, markets as well as compliance with international product standards.
The International Trade Centre is a development agency that supports the internationalization of SMEs, which is the joint agency of the World Trade Organization and the United Nations.

Man dies at Kigo prison
by Julius LuwembaAccording to Olive Nakate a widow to the deceased, Kituuka was detained on October 16, over land-related matters.
WAKISO-The family of 41-year-old Robert Kituuka, of Namulanda along Entebbe Road, were left puzzled after the latter was returned home in a coffin, just a month after his imprisonment in Kigo prison.
According to Olive Nakate a widow to the deceased, Kituuka was detained on October 16, over land-related matters. "Court had ordered him to refund sh8.8m or be imprisoned for three years," said Nakate.
"I had finished all the paperwork to secure a loan for his release when I got contacted on Monday by prison warders who said my husband had died of a heart attack and told me to pick the body from Mulago Hospital," added Nakate.
Gabriel Musqua a friend to the deceased, intimated that he last visited Kituuka weeks ago, but the latter never complained of any illness while in prison. "It then beats my understanding to be told that, he died of heart complications,” said Musqua.
Kituuka had seven children; he was buried on Tuesday at Gerenge village in Katabi town council, Wakiso district. When contacted about the matter, Frank Baine the public relations officer for prison services excused himself to first contact the in-charge Kigo prison for a detailed report. He had not replied by press time.

(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
At first sight this looks like a drop but in fact White has a very easy take. He has a number of possible game plans including a back game. He can also win by going forwards. Red’s extra checkers on his 8-pt and 7-pt are not well placed and are not working for a living, while White’s checkers are all doing good work.
Not doubling is nearly a blunder but dropping is a double blunder.

Google wants to make privacy and security settings more prominent in Chrome
Source: Android Central
What you need to know
- Google is considering a minor redesign to the settings page for the Chrome browser.
- It will no longer hide privacy and security settings under the 'Advanced' pane and feature them more prominently among other settings.
- It's perhaps a result of the increasingly more important role privacy and security are playing in conversations surrounding tech.
A new flag in the Canary builds for Chrome is set to make privacy and security settings more easily accessible by users (via Techdows). Currently, these settings are hidden under the 'Advanced' section of the browser's settings page. Google is looking to move them out of there and to place them next to more 'basic' settings like the browser's theme and startup behaviour.
With the change, privacy and security settings will be found third from the top, following only the 'People' and 'Autofill' configuration pages. While privacy settings were previously considered an advanced feature by Google, once you did find them, all the relevant settings would be displayed on the card. However, with the new design, Google only shows what it considers the most three most important options — Clear browsing data, Site Settings, and Sync and Google Services — at first glance. You'll need to press the 'More' button to see an extended list of choices, which includes the following:
- Allow Chrome sign-in
- Send a "Do Not Track" request with your browsing traffic
- Preload pages for faster browsing and searching
- Allow sites to check if you have payment methods saved
- Manage certificates
- Manage security keys
Interestingly, the controversial automatic sign-in behaviour for Chrome that the company had to roll back after user backlash is still considered an 'advanced' setting by Google and hidden under this extended list of toggles.
To enable the redesign, you'll need to be on version 80.0.3967.0 or later of Chrome Canary. You'll then needs to go to chrome://flags via the address bar, and look for the "Privacy Settings Redesign" flag and turn it on. The change will likely be propagated to normal users with Chrome 80, but since it is an experimental feature, it is possible that Google may change its mind about releasing it to the general public before then.


You talk some more, and a plan formulates. Over the next few weeks, you coordinate with the canning club and the Culinary Arts Coordinator. A month later, you have a canning extravaganza at the Northeast Branch.
All sorts of things end up canned at the celebration, fruits, veggies, fish, and even beef! You even got just about everything donated for the event, and no one had to pay for anything.
Everyone had a great time, and you go down in canning history as one of the greats.


Custody Group
Transcript By: Bryan Bishop
Category: Workshop
2109-09-08
Custody working group
One of the problems in the ecosystem was nomenclature. We started working on a report about what features a nomenclature would have. Airgaps, constant-time software, sidechannel resistance, Faraday cage, deterministic software, entropy, blind signatures, proof-of-reserve, multi-vendor hardware to minimize compromise. Multi-location and multi-sig. Insurance guarantee scheme. Canaries, dead man switches, tripwires, heartbeat mechanisms. Shamir’s secret sharing vs multisig. The second part of this report was going to be market analysis. Most companies don’t advertise what their custodial process really is. Coinbase had a lot of marketing. Xapo had videos of their vault. There’s the Glacier protocol and Square’s subzero now which is open-source. Bryan Bishop’s proposals for vaults and restricted signing devices. What is a hot wallet?
We could make a BIP about terminology and actually proposing a real standard. An actual standard should rely on proper terminology.
It’s difficult for regulators to define wallet and custody and key management and other terms. It’s hard to get those terms down. I think we have to coordinate that. We hhave criteria for key management, within the frameworks of wallets.
An audit might be more effective in practical terms, but it might be hard to legislate because it’s kind of subjective. Regulations can be a list of rules describing what a custodian has to follow. Whereas an audit is probably more helpful to be audited, but it’s harder to pick that. You can’t just say, we were audited.
Some regulators are still forming teams. Legislating about multisig thresholds is bad. It can’t be prescriptive. It must be a step-by-step process, and it must be best practices in the market. Nobody wants to be left behind, of course.
What about the extent to which custody has to rely on functionality not in the blockchain itself? We’re interested in things like covenants or these Bishop re-vaulting transactions. There are clever ways to use current functionality with presigned transactions and the 1% chunks idea. But without doing an actual upgrade to the protocol, it’s actually quite a challenge to develop a safe custody solution.
There needs to be best practices around custody and they should be published. Basic information about companies is not even available, like what does Coinbase or Xapo really do? Is Square using subzero exactly, or are they doing anything differently internally? What is Fidelity doing internally?
Even a checklist-based standard would be something useful.
Custody is not a great business model. For a proper solution, the margins won’t shrink to zero if it’s a really secure product. Institutional investors can’t really invest, due to the lack of custodians. 25 basis points for storage, in addition to their management fees, is not out of the question.
Some companies are doing bitcoin lending, like Unchained and Blockfi. If you do custody, you can blend the cost from kicking back the lending rates. There’s a lot of services now where you lend your bitcoin to a service, and you get 6%, 12%, 15% depending on the service. If there’s a minimal custody solution, then you can get 25 basis points on it and get income. You can also bundle it with a lending service. Instead of paying 25 basis points, you will actually get 6% minus 20 basis points. Nobody has really done it yet because lending services come up and custody solutions come up separately. I generally think people– if you look at the hardware wallets, Casa nodes, a lot of people are buying these services.
We should ask custodians, what do they do? What should regulators be asking? What should their users be asking?
Shamir secret sharing, Hermit, Unchained Capital. Shamir for recovering one single key– I don’t see a problem for that. This is orthogonal to multisig. Multisig is superior to Shamir secret sharing. Verifiable secret sharing recovers some of the benefits of multisig. Social key recovery.

Texas woman found dead may have been killed by wild hogs
by Jackie SaloA Texas woman found dead in a front yard may have been killed by wild hogs, according to a report.
Christine Rollins’ body was discovered Sunday morning outside of an Anahuac home, where she was the caretaker for an elderly couple, according to the Chambers County Sheriff’s Office.
When Rollins, 59, didn’t show up for work, her employer went outside and found her body in the front yard, officials said.
Rollins had animal-related injuries, as well as ones consistent with a fall, Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said in a statement.
“At this time detectives are unable to determine if she collapsed due to a medical condition and the fall caused the head injury, or if the animals may have caused the fall and contributed to her death,” Hawthorne said. “But, at this time, we have no reason to believe that there is any foul play involved in her death.”
Neighbors have complained about wild hogs in the area, and the homeowners’ Corgis are also being eyed, according to news station KTRK-TV.
An autopsy was ordered to determine her cause of death, officials said.

Compliments of the seasons Dearest One, Hello. My name is Mohamed Zuba,the eldest son of late chief Dandy Zuba of Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address. I got your(CONTACT FROM THE SOUTH AFRICAN BUSINESS NETWORK ONLINE).During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all farmers to surrender all farms to his party members and his followers. My father was Rated as One of the best farmers in our country 2003 before his untimely Death and because he did not support Mugabe's idea,Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm,killing my father and few workers and made away with a lot of items in my father's farm.But before his Death, he had deposited with a Security Company in SOUTH AFRICA the sum of US$24.600 MILLION (TWENTY FOUR MILLION SIXHUNDERD THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS).After the death of my father, I decided to move to the Republic of SOUTH AFRICA FOR SAFETY to leave for the main time and still continue my Quest of claiming this Consignment as my country is no longer SAFE for me. To this end,I decided to contact overseas firm and companies that will assist me to move this money out of SOUTH AFRICA because as Asylum Seekers we are not allowed to operate any Bank Account with in SOUTH AFRICA. I have secured the legal help of an Attorney here in DUBAI who will be working with you to lay claim to this Consignment and his contacts are: NAME: BARRISTERPAUL OKORO, EMAIL<EMAIL_ADDRESS>can contact him to get more details to proceed further to success. I have agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum for your assistance,while 75% will be for ME to invest in your country but I will like to invest in any INDUSTRY.All I want you to do is to furnish me with your personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication and follow up with my Attorney to achieve the needed result. I am taking you as my Parent because I lost all my siblings and family in the CRISIS. Note that this transaction is 100% Risk free,legal,and absolutely confidential. Thanks and God Bless.

| Class | ActionController::Responder |
| In: |
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.0.beta4/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb
|
| Parent: | Object |
Responder is responsible for exposing a resource to different mime requests, usually depending on the HTTP verb. The responder is triggered when respond_with is called. The simplest case to study is a GET request:
class PeopleController < ApplicationController respond_to :html, :xml, :json def index @people = Person.find(:all) respond_with(@people) end end
When a request comes in, for example for an XML response, three steps happen:
1) the responder searches for a template at people/index.xml; 2) if the template is not available, it will invoke #to_xml on the given resource; 3) if the responder does not respond_to :to_xml, call #to_format on it.
The default Rails responder holds semantics for each HTTP verb. Depending on the content type, verb and the resource status, it will behave differently.
Using Rails default responder, a POST request for creating an object could be written as:
def create @user = User.new(params[:user]) flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully created.' if @user.save respond_with(@user) end
Which is exactly the same as:
def create @user = User.new(params[:user]) respond_to do |format| if @user.save flash[:notice] = 'User was successfully created.' format.html { redirect_to(@user) } format.xml { render :xml => @user, :status => :created, :location => @user } else format.html { render :action => "new" } format.xml { render :xml => @user.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity } end end end
The same happens for PUT and DELETE requests.
You can supply nested resources as you do in form_for and polymorphic_url. Consider the project has many tasks example. The create action for TasksController would be like:
def create @project = Project.find(params[:project_id]) @task = @project.comments.build(params[:task]) flash[:notice] = 'Task was successfully created.' if @task.save respond_with(@project, @task) end
Giving an array of resources, you ensure that the responder will redirect to project_task_url instead of task_url.
Namespaced and singleton resources require a symbol to be given, as in polymorphic urls. If a project has one manager which has many tasks, it should be invoked as:
respond_with(@project, :manager, @task)
Check polymorphic_url documentation for more examples.

Main entry point for responder responsible to dispatch to the proper format.
# File /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.0.beta4/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb, line 117 117: def respond 118: method = "to_#{format}""to_#{format}" 119: respond_to?(method) ? send(method) : to_format 120: end
All other formats follow the procedure below. First we try to render a template, if the template is not available, we verify if the resource responds to :to_format and display it.
# File /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.0.beta4/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb, line 135 135: def to_format 136: default_render 137: rescue ActionView::MissingTemplate => e 138: api_behavior(e) 139: end
HTML format does not render the resource, it always attempt to render a template.
# File /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.0.beta4/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb, line 125 125: def to_html 126: default_render 127: rescue ActionView::MissingTemplate => e 128: navigation_behavior(e) 129: end
This is the common behavior for "API" requests, like :xml and :json.
# File /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.0.beta4/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb, line 155 155: def api_behavior(error) 156: raise error unless resourceful? 157: 158: if get? 159: display resource 160: elsif has_errors? 161: display resource.errors, :status => :unprocessable_entity 162: elsif post? 163: display resource, :status => :created, :location => resource_location 164: else 165: head :ok 166: end 167: end
By default, render the :edit action for HTML requests with failure, unless the verb is POST.
# File /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.0.beta4/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb, line 219 219: def default_action 220: @action ||= ACTIONS_FOR_VERBS[request.request_method_symbol] 221: end
Display is just a shortcut to render a resource with the current format.
display @user, :status => :ok
For XML requests it‘s equivalent to:
render :xml => @user, :status => :ok
Options sent by the user are also used:
respond_with(@user, :status => :created) display(@user, :status => :ok)
Results in:
render :xml => @user, :status => :created
# File /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.0.beta4/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb, line 206 206: def display(resource, given_options={}) 207: controller.render given_options.merge!(options).merge!(format => resource) 208: end
Check whether the resource has errors.
# File /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.0.beta4/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb, line 212 212: def has_errors? 213: resource.respond_to?(:errors) && !resource.errors.empty? 214: end
This is the common behavior for "navigation" requests, like :html, :iphone and so forth.
# File /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.0.beta4/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb, line 144 144: def navigation_behavior(error) 145: if get? 146: raise error 147: elsif has_errors? && default_action 148: render :action => default_action 149: else 150: redirect_to resource_location 151: end 152: end
Returns the resource location by retrieving it from the options or returning the resources array.
# File /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-3.0.0.beta4/lib/action_controller/metal/responder.rb, line 178 178: def resource_location 179: options[:location] || resources 180: end

Retinoid differentiation therapy in promyelocytic leukemia.
Abstract
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a specific type of acute myeloid leukemia characterized by the morphology of the blast cells, a specific t (15; 17) translocation, and risks of definite coagulopathy. Recently this leukemia was further characterized by an exquisite sensitivity to all-trans retinoic acid 's differentiation effect and the production of a fusion gene altering the gene of RARalpha and a novel gene PML. In vivo differentiation therapy with retinoids in APL patients follows strict guidelines related both to the APL cell and the biodisposal of all-trans retinoic acid.
