THE ANIMAL FACTORY A film review by Jeremiah Kipp Copyright 2000 filmcritic.com filmcritic.com
Dear Ma,
After seeing Steve Buscemi's sophomore directorial effort, The Animal Factory (following 1996's Trees Lounge), I nearly reconsidered choosing film criticism as a career path. For the first hour of this film, it seemed the way to go was to become a convict. (By the way, ma, they don't call 'em inmates in the pen, they call 'em convicts.)
Puffy faced Edward Furlong plays young Ron Decker, a new convict in the pen. He's small, skinny and smart -- an ideal candidate to become some solid's girlfriend. Fortunately, he is befriended by Earl Koper (Willem Dafoe, sporting a clean, bald head) and his gang of old-timers. This more or less prevents the kid from getting raped, though Earl admits that he wouldn't have bothered if the kid was ugly.
Prison life seems pretty swell at first. There are no women, but the men all pat each other on the back, are loyal to their friends and call each other "brother." They get three squares a day and if they've been inside long enough, the guards give them freebies like steak dinners, extra packs of cigarettes, or porno magazines. Life isn't so bad on the inside as long as you got friends.
 Suddenly, prison life didn't sound so lovely anymore. This is before the razor action in a later sequence where one of our main characters gets sliced up pretty good. Violence can spring up at any time in the joint.
This adaptation of Edward Bunker's novel knows the prison lingo backwards and forwards. Bunker was in prison himself, and it shows. (He's now a fine, hard-boiled novelist and played Mr. Blue in Reservoir Dogs, opposite Steve Buscemi.) The grimy cellblocks and hallways, filthy mattresses, and lousy food all seem to have been well researched here, present and correct. Buscemi fills his film with paranoia, often inserting shots of convicts looking over their shoulder or shifting their eyes.
Buscemi the filmmaker trips up by turning the prison playground into a showcase for his actors. Dafoe and Furlong are excellent in the lead roles, thinking their way through each scene. Thing is, they're surrounded by people who are sinking their teeth into their roles (and scenery) so much that each scene plays like a vaudeville number.
The spotlight is on Mickey Rourke as a mealy-mouthed drag queen, then on Tom Arnold's aforementioned renegade hick, then on Seymour Cassel's "guard who's seen it all" character. Instead of blending into a fine ensemble, each actor's shining presence only serves to remind us that this is only a movie. We're not in a jailhouse; we're in a talent show for the best and brightest in the "Intense Character Actor" category.
It's entertaining, sure, but it destroys the authenticity. Suddenly, I realize I'm not really in a prison. I'm in an independent film directed by Steve Buscemi.
As though driving the nails into his own coffin, Buscemi even steals the 360-degree pan from Reservoir Dogs in one shot. Tarantino's film was filled with pop cultural references, reminding us that we were watching a movie, and it worked in that context. But Buscemi, instead of going for cinema verite realism, throws in this flashy camera move. It's pretty tactless, here.
 The relationship between Dafoe and Furlong is touching, drifting through a no man's land between being father/son or lovers without sexual congress. Dafoe schools the kid on the prison ropes. Furlong keeps his eyes and ears open. While I found it hard to believe that a boy as pretty as Eddie Furlong wouldn't wind up as someone's dinner, I struggled to suspend my disbelief because there are some fine, subtle glances between these guys that resemble love. I'm a sucker for romance, even in prison.
This key plot point treads on the verge of sentimentality, but the grand finale lapses into the familiar terrain of Prison Movie 101. Of course we have the obligatory "let's get out of prison" bit. Buscemi and Bunker (whose novel is terrific, by the way -- much grittier than the film) blow their opportunity to leave well enough alone.
The Animal Factory is rarely boring, though. For all my qualms about Buscemi's directorial flourishes and self-conscious moments for the actors, he's made a movie that at least cares about developing those characters within their environment. At least it observes these people in their daily routine, takes it's time to let us get to know Earl, Ron and all the rest. It's not as raw as it would like to be, but it's sure got character.
I tell ya this much, ma: Steve Buscemi has given us a solid.

So, Sarah just sent us an email earlier that the pictures we drew at our Amsterdam company outing arrived in the mail. I was with the Van Gogh group and came up with this:
The idea was to draw a still life in a style similar to Van Gogh's. We used acrylic instead of oil paint, but it still worked out pretty well. I think I nailed the flow and motion aspects, but I didn't really manage to do the impressionist dot thingy. Still, I like how that turned out, given that we only had one and a half hour to draw and it was my first time using acrylic paint. Oh yeah: 1 Bonus Internets to anyone who can figure out what I drew. Pro tip: it ain't sunflowers :P.

C4263 is one of the warnings that is off by default, that's why we
hadn't noticed yet. I'm not sure what we're going to do about it, the
code is perfectly legal C++, and it doesn't cause any problems. I
wouldn't want to rename the function just because of this warning.
Does it help to make LinBin::spec virtual itself? If so, that would
be an option.
Cheers,
Guido

Scratching is beneficial both physically and emotionally.They need to scratch in order groom their claws. No, they are not "sharpening" their claws. Rather the action of scratching removes the dead layer that builds up on the claws. In addition the action of scratching provides good exercise for the paws, legs and entire body. It is important that the scratcher be tall enough to allow your cat to fully stretch his/her entire length. Cats also scratch for social reasons. Leaving signs of scratching is the cat's version of "tagging". Two things are happening, they are leaving their scents deposited by scent pads in the paws and the actual visual destruction that scratching leaves.
Most commercial scratching posts are not tall enough for the average cat, nor are they stable. One of the worst things that can happen is for a scratcher to fall over while the cat is using it. From the cat's viewpoint this is scary and he/she will not want to use the scratcher. For these reasons it would be best to make your own.
For these reasons it would be best to make your own.
Post: 2" x 2"
Must be untreated wood.
Can be pine or cedar. (Cats like the smell of cedar.)
Cut tall enough to allow for kitty's full stretch.
Base: 24" plywood circle. 1/2" or 3/4" thick.
Can be purchased at home centers,craft stores or lumber yards.
Top Platform: 12" plywood circle. 1/2".
Can be purchased at home centers,craft stores or lumber yards.
Molding: 1.25" x .25" molding.
Used for legs under base.
Sisal Rope: Two to three packages of 3/8" x 50'
Do not used treated, dyed or substitute. Will be harmful to the cat.
Paint or Stain:
To finish base and top platform.
Anti-skid pads:
Everbilt 1 1/2".
Cut post to appropriate height. For this project the post was cut 33" high.
Sand and finish the base as desired. For this project I stained it black using a water base stain and satin finish. You can also choose to paint the base. Be careful not to make the base too slippery.
You may also choose to finish the top platform. Or you can keep it wood if you plan to cover it.
Warp the sisal rope around the post. Glue the edges of the rope together to prevent unraveling. Staple the starting end to the post using 4-5 staples. Wrap the rope tightly around the post, stapling about every 7-10 rows. Be sure to apply the staples to the same side of the post.
Cut the molding into pieces about 2 1/4" long. Stain or paint to the match the base.
Glue the "legs" evenly distributed around the bottom of the base, about 5/8" from the edge.
Attach the post in the center of the base with the four 3" screws. Attach the top platform to the top of the base with the four shorter screws.
Rub some cat nip into the sisal.
Hang a toy from the top platform.
Place food nearby.
May you and your cat be happy!


Watch: Nuneaton goalkeeper Tony Breeden skies penalty and breaks light behind goal
by Tom CarnduffThe international break saw attentions focused on the lower leagues of English football this weekend.
With goals flying in across the country, the eye-catching incident of the afternoon came in the BetVictor Southern League Central Division - the seventh tier of English football.
Nuneaton welcomed Stratford to Liberty Way knowing that victory would move them into the top-six of the division.
The scores remained level at half-time, but Nuneaton were handed a major opportunity to take the lead around the hour mark when the referee pointed to the spot to award a penalty.
Remarkably, Borough goalkeeper Tony Breeden ran to the other end of the pitch to take the kick with his team-mates happy to give him the responsibility.
What followed is something that Breeden will want to forget. He skies the penalty over the bar and to make matters worse, the ball breaks one of the lights in the roof of the stand behind the goal.
The miss didn't prove to be costly in the end, with Joel Kettle striking moments later before another penalty, this time taken by Callum Powell, was converted with 86 minutes on the clock.

Characterization of an immediate-early gene induced in adherent monocytes that encodes I kappa B -like activity.
Abstract
We have cloned a group of cDNAs representing mRNAs that are rapidly induced following adherence of human monocytes. One of the induced transcripts (MAD-3) encodes a protein of 317 amino acids with one domain containing five tandem repeats of the cdc10/ankyrin motif, which is 60 % similar (46 % identical) to the ankyrin repeat region of the precursor of NF-kappa B/KBF1 p50. The C-terminus has a putative protein kinase C phosphorylation site. In vitro translated MAD-3 protein was found to specifically inhibit the DNA-binding activity of the p50/p65 NF-kappa B complex but not that of the p50/p50 KBF1 factor or of other DNA-binding proteins. The MAD-3 cDNA encodes an I kappa B-like protein that is likely to be involved in regulation of transcriptional responses to NF-kappa B, including adhesion-dependent pathways of monocyte activation.

The Overview page is the front page of this TLD document and provides a list of all tag libraries with a summary for each.
Each tag library has a page that contains a list of its validator, listeners, tags, and functions, with a summary for each. This page can contain four categories:
- Validator
- Listeners
- Tags
- Functions
A tag library can have at most one validator. If a tag library has a validator, it has its own page describing the validator, the class that implements the validator, and the available initialization parameters.
A tag library can have zero or more listeners. If a tag library has at least one listener, a page is generated that lists all listener classes registered for the tag library.
A tag library can have zero or more tags. Each tag has its own page that describes the tag, its display name, its unique action name, the class that implements the tag, the TagExtraInfo class, the body content type, scripting variable information, attributes, whether the tag supports dynamic attributes, and an optional example use of the tag.
A tag library can contain zero or more EL functions. If a tag library has at least one function, a page is generated that lists all functions, the class that implements the function, the function signature, and an optional example use of the function.
These links take you to the next or previous validator, listener, tag, function, or related page.
These links show and hide the HTML frames. All pages are available with or without frames.

method
context
parameter:
`
javascript
fooDidChange: function(sender, key, value, rev) { };
`
The sender is the object that changed. The key is the property that
changes. The value property is currently reserved and unused. The rev
is the last property revision of the object when it changed, which you can
use to detect if the key value has really changed or not.
If you pass a context
parameter, the context will be passed before the
revision like so:
`
javascript
fooDidChange: function(sender, key, value, context, rev) { };
`
Usually you will not need the value, context or revision parameters at
the end. In this case, it is common to write observer methods that take
only a sender and key value as parameters or, if you aren't interested in
any of these values, to write an observer that has no parameters at all.

By default, ajax
method has the following behavior:
* It sets the response dataType
to "json"
* If the HTTP method is not "GET"
, it sets the Content-Type
to be
application/json; charset=utf-8
* If the HTTP method is not "GET"
, it stringifies the data passed in. The
data is the serialized record in the case of a save.
* Registers success and failure handlers.

"name": "Tom Dale",
"links": { "group": "/people/1/group" }
}
}
`
This method will be called with the parent record and /people/1/group
.
The findBelongsTo
method will make an Ajax (HTTP GET) request to the originally specified URL.
The format of your links
value will influence the final request URL via the urlPrefix
method:
* Links beginning with //
, http://
, https://
, will be used as is, with no further manipulation.
* Links beginning with a single /
will have the current adapter's host
value prepended to it.
* Links with no beginning /

"links": { "comments": "/posts/1/comments" }
}
}
`
This method will be called with the parent record and /posts/1/comments
.
The findHasMany
method will make an Ajax (HTTP GET) request to the originally specified URL.
The format of your links

findRecord
method makes an Ajax request to a URL computed by
buildURL
, and returns a promise for the resulting payload.
This method performs an HTTP GET
request with the id provided as part of the query string.
Parameters:
-
store
DS.Store -
type
DS.Model -
id
String -
snapshot
DS.Snapshot
Returns:
generatedDetailedMessage
-
status
-
headers
-
payload
-
requestData
Returns:
generateIdForRecord
-
store
-
type
-
inputProperties
generateIdForRecord()
method. This method will be invoked
each time you create a new record, and the value returned from it will be
assigned to the record's primaryKey
.
Most traditional REST-like HTTP APIs will not use this method. Instead, the ID
of the record will be set by the server, and your adapter will update the store
with the new ID when it calls didCreateRecord()
. Only implement this method if
you intend to generate record IDs on the client-side.
The generateIdForRecord()
method will be invoked with the requesting store as
the first parameter and the newly created record as the second parameter:
`
javascript
import DS from 'ember-data';
import { v4 } from 'uuid';
export default DS.Adapter.extend({
generateIdForRecord: function(store, inputProperties) {
return v4();
}
});
`
Parameters:
Returns:
get
-
keyName
object[keyName]
or object.keyName
,
however it supports both computed properties and the unknownProperty
handler.
Because get
unifies the syntax for accessing all these kinds
of properties, it can make many refactorings easier, such as replacing a
simple property with a computed property, or vice versa.
### Computed Properties
Computed properties are methods defined with the property
modifier
declared at the end, such as:
`
javascript
fullName: function() {
return this.get('firstName') + ' ' + this.get('lastName');
}.property('firstName', 'lastName')
`
When you call get
on a computed property, the function will be
called and the return value will be returned instead of the function
itself.
### Unknown Properties
Likewise, if you try to call get
on a property whose value is
undefined
, the unknownProperty()
method will be called on the object.
If this method returns any value other than undefined
, it will be returned
instead. This allows you to implement "virtual" properties that are
not defined upfront.
Parameters:
-
keyName
StringThe property to retrieve
Returns:
getProperties
-
list
getProperties
with a list of strings or an array:
`
javascript
record.getProperties('firstName', 'lastName', 'zipCode');
// { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe', zipCode: '10011' }
`
is equivalent to:
`
javascript
record.getProperties(['firstName', 'lastName', 'zipCode']);
// { firstName: 'John', lastName: 'Doe', zipCode: '10011' }
`
Parameters:
-
list
String... | Arrayof keys to get
Returns:
getWithDefault
-
keyName
-
defaultValue
undefined
.
`
javascript
person.getWithDefault('lastName', 'Doe');
`
Parameters:
Returns:
groupRecordsForFindMany
-
store
-
snapshots
findMany
.
This implementation groups together records that have the same base URL but
differing ids. For example /comments/1
and /comments/2
will be grouped together
because we know findMany can coalesce them together as /comments?ids[]=1&ids[]=2
It also supports urls where ids are passed as a query param, such as /comments?id=1
but not those where there is more than 1 query param such as /comments?id=2&name=David
Currently only the query param of id
is supported. If you need to support others, please
override this or the _stripIDFromURL
method.
It does not group records that have differing base urls, such as for example: /posts/1/comments/2
and /posts/2/comments/3
Returns:
findMany
.
handleResponse
-
status
-
headers
-
payload
-
requestData
DS.InvalidError
or a
DS.AdapterError
(or a sub class) from this hook and it will automatically
reject the promise and put your record into the invalid or error state.
Returning a DS.InvalidError
from this method will cause the
record to transition into the invalid
state and make the
errors
object available on the record. When returning an
DS.InvalidError
the store will attempt to normalize the error data
returned from the server using the serializer's extractErrors
method.
Parameters:
Returns:
hasObserverFor
-
key
true
if the object currently has observers registered for a
particular key. You can use this method to potentially defer performing
an expensive action until someone begins observing a particular property
on the object.
Parameters:
-
key
StringKey to check
Returns:
headersForRequest
-
params

returned.
Parameters:
-

init: function() {
alert('Name is ' + this.get('name'));
}
});
var steve = App.Person.create({

});
// alerts 'Name is Steve'.
`
NOTE: If you do override init
for a framework class like Ember.View
,
be sure to call this._super(...arguments)
in your
init
declaration! If you don't, Ember may not have an opportunity to
do important setup work, and you'll see strange behavior in your
application.

serialize

serialize
method.
Example
`
app/adapters/application.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.Adapter.extend({
createRecord: function(store, type, snapshot) {
var data = this.serialize(snapshot, { includeId: true });
var url = /${type.modelName}
;
// ...
}
});
`
Parameters:
-
snapshot
DS.Snapshot -
options
Object
Returns:
set
-
keyName
-
value
object[key] = value
or
object.key = value
, except that it provides support for computed
properties, the setUnknownProperty()
method and property observers.
### Computed Properties
If you try to set a value on a key that has a computed property handler
defined (see the get()
method for an example), then set()
will call
that method, passing both the value and key instead of simply changing
the value itself. This is useful for those times when you need to
implement a property that is composed of one or more member
properties.
### Unknown Properties
If you try to set a value on a key that is undefined in the target
object, then the setUnknownProperty()
handler will be called instead. This
gives you an opportunity to implement complex "virtual" properties that
are not predefined on the object. If setUnknownProperty()
returns
undefined, then set()
will simply set the value on the object.
### Property Observers
In addition to changing the property, set()
will also register a property
change with the object. Unless you have placed this call inside of a
beginPropertyChanges()
and endPropertyChanges(),
any "local" observers
(i.e. observer methods declared on the same object), will be called
immediately. Any "remote" observers (i.e. observer methods declared on
another object) will be placed in a queue and called at a later time in a
coalesced manner.
Returns:
setProperties
-
hash
beginPropertyChanges
and endPropertyChanges
batch, so
observers will be buffered.
`
javascript
record.setProperties({ firstName: 'Charles', lastName: 'Jolley' });
`
Parameters:
-
hash
Objectthe hash of keys and values to set
Returns:
shouldBackgroundReloadAll
-
store
-
snapshotRecordArray
store.findAll
method resolves
with a cached record array.
This method is *only* checked by the store when the store is
returning a cached record array.
If this method returns true
the store will re-fetch all records
from the adapter.
For example, if you do not want to fetch complex data over a mobile
connection, or if the network is down, you can implement
shouldBackgroundReloadAll
as follows:
`
javascript
shouldBackgroundReloadAll: function(store, snapshotArray) {
var connection = window.navigator.connection;
if (connection === 'cellular' || connection === 'none') {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
`
By default this method returns true
, indicating that a background reload
should always be triggered.
Parameters:
-
store
DS.Store -
snapshotRecordArray
DS.SnapshotRecordArray
Returns:
shouldBackgroundReloadRecord
-
store
-
snapshot
store.findRecord
method resolves a
cached record.
This method is *only* checked by the store when the store is
returning a cached record.
If this method returns true
the store will re-fetch a record from
the adapter.
For example, if you do not want to fetch complex data over a mobile
connection, or if the network is down, you can implement
shouldBackgroundReloadRecord
as follows:
`
javascript
shouldBackgroundReloadRecord: function(store, snapshot) {
var connection = window.navigator.connection;
if (connection === 'cellular' || connection === 'none') {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
}
`
By default this hook returns true
so the data for the record is updated
in the background.
Parameters:
-
store
DS.Store -
snapshot
DS.Snapshot
Returns:
shouldReloadAll
-
store
-
snapshotRecordArray
store.findAll
.
If this method returns true
, the store will re-fetch all records from
the adapter. If this method returns false
, the store will resolve
immediately using the cached records.
For example, if you are building an events ticketing system, in which users
can only reserve tickets for 20 minutes at a time, and want to ensure that
in each route you have data that is no more than 20 minutes old you could
write:
`
javascript
shouldReloadAll: function(store, snapshotArray) {
var snapshots = snapshotArray.snapshots();
return snapshots.any(function(ticketSnapshot) {
var timeDiff = moment().diff(ticketSnapshot.attr('lastAccessedAt')).minutes();
if (timeDiff > 20) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
});
}
`
This method would ensure that whenever you do store.findAll('ticket')
you
will always get a list of tickets that are no more than 20 minutes old. In
case a cached version is more than 20 minutes old, findAll
will not
resolve until you fetched the latest versions.
By default this methods returns true
if the passed snapshotRecordArray
is empty (meaning that there are no records locally available yet),
otherwise it returns false
.
Parameters:
-
store
DS.Store -
snapshotRecordArray
DS.SnapshotRecordArray
Returns:
shouldReloadRecord
-
store
-
snapshot
store.findRecord
.
If this method returns true
, the store will re-fetch a record from
the adapter. If this method returns false
, the store will resolve
immediately using the cached record.
For example, if you are building an events ticketing system, in which users
can only reserve tickets for 20 minutes at a time, and want to ensure that
in each route you have data that is no more than 20 minutes old you could
write:
`
javascript
shouldReloadRecord: function(store, ticketSnapshot) {
var timeDiff = moment().diff(ticketSnapshot.attr('lastAccessedAt')).minutes();
if (timeDiff > 20) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
`
This method would ensure that whenever you do `store.findRecord('ticket',
id)` you will always get a ticket that is no more than 20 minutes old. In
case the cached version is more than 20 minutes old, findRecord
will not
resolve until you fetched the latest version.
By default this hook returns false
, as most UIs should not block user
interactions while waiting on data update.
Parameters:
-
store
DS.Store -
snapshot
DS.Snapshot
Returns:
sortQueryParams
-
obj
`
js
store.query('posts', { sort: 'price', category: 'pets' });
`
will generate a requests like this /posts?category=pets&sort=price
, even if the
parameters were specified in a different order.
That way the generated URL will be deterministic and that simplifies caching mechanisms
in the backend.
Setting sortQueryParams
to a falsey value will respect the original order.
In case you want to sort the query parameters with a different criteria, set
sortQueryParams
to your custom sort function.
`
app/adapters/application.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
sortQueryParams: function(params) {
var sortedKeys = Object.keys(params).sort().reverse();
var len = sortedKeys.length, newParams = {};
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
newParams[sortedKeys[i]] = params[sortedKeys[i]];
}
return newParams;
}
});

Properties
coalesceFindRequests
Boolean
store.find
or from accessing a relationship separately to the server. If your server supports passing
ids as a query string, you can set coalesceFindRequests to true to coalesce all find requests
within a single runloop.
For example, if you have an initial payload of:
`
javascript
{
post: {
id: 1,
comments: [1, 2]
}
}
`
By default calling post.get('comments')
will trigger the following requests(assuming the
comments haven't been loaded before):
`
GET /comments/1
GET /comments/2
`
If you set coalesceFindRequests to true
it will instead trigger the following request:
`
GET /comments?filter[id]=1,2
`
Setting coalesceFindRequests to true
also works for store.find
requests and belongsTo
relationships accessed within the same runloop. If you set coalesceFindRequests: true
`
javascript
store.findRecord('comment', 1);
store.findRecord('comment', 2);
`
will also send a request to: GET /comments?filter[id]=1,2
Note: Requests coalescing rely on URL building strategy. So if you override buildURL
in your app
groupRecordsForFindMany
more likely should be overridden as well in order for coalescing to work.
concatenatedProperties
Array
public
classNames
property of Ember.View
.
Here is some sample code showing the difference between a concatenated
property and a normal one:
`
javascript
App.BarView = Ember.View.extend({
someNonConcatenatedProperty: ['bar'],
classNames: ['bar']
});
App.FooBarView = App.BarView.extend({
someNonConcatenatedProperty: ['foo'],
classNames: ['foo']
});
var fooBarView = App.FooBarView.create();
fooBarView.get('someNonConcatenatedProperty'); // ['foo']
fooBarView.get('classNames'); // ['ember-view', 'bar', 'foo']
`
This behavior extends to object creation as well. Continuing the
above example:
`
javascript
var view = App.FooBarView.create({
someNonConcatenatedProperty: ['baz'],
classNames: ['baz']
})
view.get('someNonConcatenatedProperty'); // ['baz']
view.get('classNames'); // ['ember-view', 'bar', 'foo', 'baz']
`
Adding a single property that is not an array will just add it in the array:
`
javascript
var view = App.FooBarView.create({
classNames: 'baz'
})
view.get('classNames'); // ['ember-view', 'bar', 'foo', 'baz']
`
Using the concatenatedProperties
property, we can tell Ember to mix the
content of the properties.
In Ember.View
the classNameBindings
and attributeBindings
properties
are also concatenated, in addition to classNames
.
This feature is available for you to use throughout the Ember object model,
although typical app developers are likely to use it infrequently. Since
it changes expectations about behavior of properties, you should properly
document its usage in each individual concatenated property (to not
mislead your users to think they can override the property in a subclass).
Default: null
defaultSerializer
String
defaultSerializer
property to be the name of the custom
serializer.
Note the defaultSerializer
serializer has a lower priority than
a model specific serializer (i.e. PostSerializer
) or the
application
serializer.
`
app/adapters/django.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.Adapter.extend({
defaultSerializer: 'django'
});
`
headers
Object
RESTAdapter
's headers
object and Ember Data will send them
along with each ajax request. For dynamic headers see [headers
customization](/api/data/classes/DS.RESTAdapter.html#toc_headers-customization).
`
app/adapters/application.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
headers: {
"API_KEY": "secret key",
"ANOTHER_HEADER": "Some header value"
}
});
`
host
String
host
property.
`
app/adapters/application.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
host: 'https://api.example.com'
});
`
Requests for the Post
model would now target https://api.example.com/post/
.
isDestroyed
Unknown
public
true
the observers and bindings were already
removed by the effect of calling the destroy()
method.
Default: false
isDestroying
Unknown
public
destroy()
method has been called.
The object stays intact until the end of the run loop at which point
the isDestroyed
flag is set.
Default: false
mergedProperties
Array
public
queryParams
property of routes.
Here is some sample code showing the difference between a merged
property and a normal one:
`
javascript
App.BarRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
someNonMergedProperty: {
nonMerged: 'superclass value of nonMerged'
},
queryParams: {
page: {replace: false},
limit: {replace: true}
}
});
App.FooBarRoute = App.BarRoute.extend({
someNonMergedProperty: {
completelyNonMerged: 'subclass value of nonMerged'
},
queryParams: {
limit: {replace: false}
}
});
var fooBarRoute = App.FooBarRoute.create();
fooBarRoute.get('someNonMergedProperty');
// => { completelyNonMerged: 'subclass value of nonMerged' }
//
// Note the entire object, including the nonMerged property of
// the superclass object, has been replaced
fooBarRoute.get('queryParams');
// => {
// page: {replace: false},
// limit: {replace: false}
// }
//
// Note the page remains from the superclass, and the
// limit
property's value of false
has been merged from
// the subclass.
`
This behavior is not available during object create
calls. It is only
available at extend
time.
This feature is available for you to use throughout the Ember object model,
although typical app developers are likely to use it infrequently. Since
it changes expectations about behavior of properties, you should properly
document its usage in each individual merged property (to not
mislead your users to think they can override the property in a subclass).
Default: null
namespace
String
namespace
by setting the namespace
property on the adapter:
`
app/adapters/application.js
import DS from 'ember-data';
export default DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
namespace: 'api/1'
});
`
Requests for the Post
model would now target /api/1/post/
.


This is just a example, to show how I code a simple
"One Page App"
using
Angular 4.
You probably found this code through my
CV or
LinkedIn.
Mission: Let's imagine a situation where we have to read files from three
different sources. One provides a
XML file, the second a
JSON and the last, a simple
CSV file. We need to load
all the files, normalize this data and show the content,
being carefully with some rules:
- If there is the same name on different files, presume that is the same fighter.
- By default, show all fighters in alphabetical order.
- Option to show fighters by game title.
- Search by name, case insensitive and of "%Like%" kind.
Some points that I keep in mind all the time:
-
Object Calisthenics ( Always when possible... )
- I am using TESlint ( ESLint for TypeScript Files ):
This helps a lot with the code's pattern.
- I am using TypeScript files because of Angular 4
The files are:
- src/app/app.module.ts (Some changes)
- src/app/app.component.ts (Some code and explanations)
- src/app/app.component.html (The HTML, the main 'Viewer' of this MVC)
- src/app/app.component.css (Some Style)
- src/app/pipes/filter.pipe.ts (Who filter the Fighters when you type something on search)
- src/app/pipes/orderby.pipe.ts (Who put the Fighters' Name or Game Title in alphabetical order)
- src/app/rosterofchars/parseFiles.ts (Class responsible for parse the three different sources)
- src/app/rosterofchars/rosterofchars.component.css (More Style)
- src/app/rosterofchars/rosterofchars.component.html (HTML used to show the data)
- src/app/rosterofchars/rosterofchars.component.ts (Class who loads the three files and show the results on screen)
- src/assets/source-data/bandainamco.xml (XML with information)
- src/assets/source-data/capcom.json (JSON with information)
- src/assets/source-data/nether-realm.csv (CSV with information)


Convex Optimization
Gradient && Hessian
The gradient of a f, d x 1, can be represented as follow
$$ \nabla f(x) = \begin{bmatrix} \frac {\partial f(x)} {\partial x_1} \newline …\newline \frac {\partial f(x)} {\partial x_d} \end{bmatrix} $$
and the Hessian, d x d, can be represented as
$$ \nabla^2 f(x) = \begin{bmatrix} \frac {\partial^2 f(x)} {\partial x_1^2} & \frac {\partial^2 f(x)} {\partial x_1x_2} & \frac {\partial^2 f(x)} {\partial x_1x_d} \newline … & … & …\newline \frac {\partial^2 f(x)} {\partial x_d^2} & \frac {\partial^2 f(x)} {\partial x_dx_2} & \frac {\partial^2 f(x)} {\partial x_dx_d} \newline \end{bmatrix} $$
With flatter graph, the Hessian will approach 0, lower matrix norm.
Local Optimimality
Suppose we have $w^*$, what determine $w^*$ a optimal solution?
1-d
Necessary condition: $f’(w^*) = 0, f”(w^*) \geq 0$
Sufficient condition: $f’(w^*) = 0, f”(w^*) \gt 0$
d-dimension
Necessary condition: $f’(w^*) = 0, \nabla(w^*)$ is positive semi definite
Sufficient condition: $f’(w^*) = 0, \nabla^2(w^*)$ is positive definite
Positive Semi Definite (PSD)
A dxd matrix A is positive semi definite if for all dx1 vector z, $z^TAz \geq 0$
A dxd matrix A is positive definite if for all dx1 vector z, $z^TAz \gt 0$
Convexity
A set S $\subseteq R^d$ if for any x, y $\in$ S and $0 \leq \lambda \leq 1$, that $(\lambda x + (1 -\lambda)y) \in S$ as well.
Analogously, a function $f: R^d \rightarrow R$ is convex if for any x, y in domian and $0 \leq \lambda \leq 1$, $f(\lambda x + (1 -\lambda)y) \leq \lambda f(x) + (1 - \lambda)f(x)$.
Properties of Convex Functions
- if f is differentiable, then for any y, x, then $f(y) - f(x) \geq \nabla f(x)^T(y-x)$
- “f lies above the gradient”
- if f is doubly differentiable at x, then $\nabla f(x)^2$ is PSD.
Why convex functions are special:
- local minimum are global minimum
- optimal solutions are all connected
- you can always go “downhill” to optimal solution
Examples:
- linear regression
- $f(w) = ||y-Xw||^2 = (y - Xw)^T(y - Xw)$
- $\nabla f(w) = -2X^Ty + 2X^TXw$
- $\nabla^2 f(w) = X^TX$, which is PSD
- logistic regression
- $f(w) = \sum_{i=1}^n \ln (1 + e^{-y^{(i)}(w^T \cdot x^{(i)})})$
- $\nabla f(w) = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{-y^{(i)}x^{(i)}}{1 + e^{y^{(i)}(w^T \cdot x^{(i)})}}$
- $\nabla^2 f(w) = \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{-y^{(i)2}x^{(i)}x^{(i)T}}{(1 + e^{y^{(i)}(w^T \cdot x^{(i)})})(1 + e^{-y^{(i)}(w^T \cdot x^{(i)})})}$, which is PSD again

Imperial Exchange is a tool which is the fundamental use case of the Imperial library. Its goal is to use an MPRL to unpack ROMs (or whatever) and convert the unpacked resources to ones that are easier to modify then export them to the file system. Once modified, Exchange can import the data from the file system back into the structs defined by the same MPRL file then pack them back into the original ROM (don't forget to make a backup, just in case).
With this system, Exchange makes it so you can write one description which allows you to both extract and patch resources into a ROM, instead of writing separate routines in a custom utility to manage both the ROM's internal formats and whatever external formats you want to use including the conversions between them.
The high level design is relatively simple. Imperial manage un/packing from the ROM, and Exchange repurposes that ability to also make it mange importing and exporting by defining types for common file formats and converters between struct types you'd use for processing ROMs and those.
Let's go through this given this MPRL description:
graphic Example {
base: $003d44
# Format:
dimensions: [8, 8]
pixel: 0bw
read: DULR
}
And this ROM file:
######## 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00003d30 47 01 00 00 c7 45 08 00 01 00 00 41 83 fd 01 0f |G....E.....A....|
00003d40 87 aa 01 00 10 60 42 40 60 24 00 00 ff ff 49 89<EMAIL_ADDRESS>00003d50 cf c7 45 08 10 00 00 00 c7 45 0c 08 00 00 00 e9 |..E......E......|
Imperial extracts the bytes 10 60 42 40 60 24 00 00 as 1bpp pixel where 0 is white and 1 is black. The read key expresses the order the pixels are placed into the image when read linearly (if you were to read MSB of the first byte to LSB of the last byte), which is Down → Up then Left → Right; or starting at the left-most column, write pixels starting from the bottom going up, then move one right, and begin writing again.
As an example, given a 4x4 graphic with pixels of abcdefghijklmnop, the pixels would be written to the image in DULR as so:
d h l p c g k o b f j n a e i m
Thus the bytes produce the image:
Exchange then figures out how to convert a graphic type to a png (for instance) and saves the file to the file system as Example.png. Since graphic is the most generic 2D image structure, it would have a direct conversion between it and png (and other image types) defined, so it's not particularly complex in this example.
Say we've now edited the image to be a little cleaner looking:
Exchange loads the MPRL file and sees the struct named Example. It knows that there should be a file with that name defined on the file system in the CWD. However, it doesn't necessarily know what image format it was exported to. So it searches CWD for Example.* and finds our Example.png. It easily identifies that it's a PNG file and loads it as a png struct via something like:
with open("Example.png", "rb") as f:
png = Png()
png.fromFile(f)
Exchange then finds the conversion path from png to graphic, which is direct in this case, and translates the data from the png struct into the Example instance.
In order to pack the data, Imperial must read from the pixel data in the same way as before. It starts at the bottom left corner and writes a 0 if it's white and a 1 if it's black and keeps going up until it wraps around to the next column.
We end up with the serialized data of: 00 20 44 20 20 44 20 00
Imperial then inserts that data back into the ROM at the requested position:
######## 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
00003d30 47 01 00 00 c7 45 08 00 01 00 00 41 83 fd 01 0f |G....E.....A....|
00003d40 87 aa 01 00 00 20 44 20 20 44 20 00 ff ff 49 89 |..... D D ...I.|
00003d50 cf c7 45 08 10 00 00 00 c7 45 0c 08 00 00 00 e9 |..E......E......|

I just finished reading the short and to-the-point Working with Unix Processes, by Jess Storimer. Although I cut my teeth on C and UNIX programming, it’s been a while, and I figured I’d check the book out to see what insights it might have, especially given that it’s written from a Ruby perspective.
In short, I’d recommend this book to someone interested in command-line Ruby (and who might have my book), but who has very little UNIX programming experience. This book is a crash-course in the basics of UNIX Process management.
That being said, if you are (or have been) familiar with things like fork
and exec
, you’ll find this book a bit too light, especially given the price (update 1/2/2012 see inside).
The Good
The information in the book is accurate and presented at excellent pace; the reader isn’t expected to ingest too much knowledge at once, and the author brings the reader one step-at-a-time through understanding UNIX process management. In a nice touch, the author pauses on occasion to connect the information presented to “real world” scenarios.
The book also delves slightly into the realities of using these tools in the context of particualr Ruby implementations.
The appendeces of the book are a walkthrough of certain parts of Resque and unicorn’s source code, relating back to the concepts learned in the book. This is something few books do, but that I find very illuminating. Here, it demonstrates real-world use of the concepts outlined in the book.
The Bad
At $27 ($7 more than my book, and $22 more that Avdi Grimm’s so-far-wonderful Objects on Rails), I was hoping for a little more depth. The book clocks in at 90 pages in PDF (77 pages in iBooks) and feels more like an introduction. For the price, I was hoping for a lot more depth.
As an example, the section “Daemon Processes” shows the use of the setsid
system call. Although the purpose of using the call
is explained, that explanation makes no sense. I have no idea what a “session leader” or “process group” are, and these terms
are never touched on in the book, nor is there a link to find out more. A cursory search of the internet turned up only the
information presented here. Piecing this together is the insight a book like this should provide; it’s what makes the
information worth paying for.
Update 1/2/2012: The author has recently updated the book to include a much more detailed explanation of
setsid
and all of the process stuff around it. The update makes it very clear how the quoted rack daemon
process code works and was very illuminating. This demonstrates one of the cool things about ebooks - easy updates.
I also feel like some discussion of named pipes would be warranted, as well as things like select
and poll
, which are at the
heart of the current fad in evented programming.
The book could also benefit from some editing, as there were just enough grammar and spelling mistakes to distract me, as well as numerous formatting bugs with source code in the ePub version. I also think that using running, real-world examples would make the points more clear; the examples aren’t particularly compelling (although the appendeces make up for this significantly, since they do relate the concepts to real code).
The book also includes some source code that is never really discussed and, honestly, I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with it.
Conclusions
Don’t let these criticisms spoil you, though. If you have no clue what a process is, or what exec
is for, this book will teach
that to you, simply and quickly. This book fills a gap that a lot of developers have these days; it shouldn’t require writing C
code to learn the UNIX fundamentals. This book proves that to be true.


--- layout: post title: "array_push_insert: Push new value into array with PHP" description: Insert a value into a specific index of a PHP array date: 2011-05-19 12:00:00 headerImage: img/post-bg-06.jpg tags: ["tech", "php"] ---
At work today, my colleague needed to add, or rather 'insert', a value into an existing array AND on a
specific index.
This because we fed it into a JS table sorter, once we pulled it through json_encode()
.
So what we really required: array_push_insert
We couldn't find any existing Array function at php.net, so I decided to make my own version.
At first I wanted it to work with associative arrays too, but it got complicated fast and at the time we didn't even need it; feature creep. So for now it only works with numeric array keys.
What it does..
First it checks whether the index you supplied ($index
) is available in the array
($array
), if so, dissects the array in half,
starting from the point you supplied ($index
) (there's no default function for this either, so I used
array_slice).
You now have a 'first' and a 'last' array. Then you add your value ($value
) to the first array, merge
both arrays back together, and you're done!
Example
We call the function and supply it with our original array, the index after which we want our new value to be inserted and the value itself. So in the next example, we want to add the letter "D" after the "B", and this value's key is 1. So we send in the array ($array), the key (1) and our new value ("D").
{{< highlight php >}} {{< /highlight >}}So when we print_r() the $finalArray
, it looks like this:

ALL THINGS FAIR A film review by Ben Hoffman Copyright 1996 Ben Hoffman
The story takes place in Malmo, Sweden, in 1943, a couple of years before WW II came to an end. Although Sweden is neutral, it has a submarine, WOLF, which it sends out on a shakedown cruise.
Back in Malmo, the school term has begun. A new teacher has been hired. She is Viola (Marika Lagercrantz), a 37-year-old pretty woman who has had much difficulty since she married Frank (Tomas Von Brmssen) a traveling salesman who is not much good at his job, is also an alcoholic who never stops drinking. In addition, he is wont to go to bed with other women despite his being married.
Viola's students are about 15 years old. One of them is a tall handsome blond boy, Stig, (Johan Widerberg, who happens to be the son of the film director). Despite the age difference of 22 years, Viola seduces Stig to the point where neither can think of much else but going to bed. As one might anticipate there will be no happy ending to the people involved.
Stig has a next door neighbor, a pretty, wholesome-looking girl, Lisbet (Karin Huldt), the same age as Stig on whom she has a strong crush. Poor Lisbet is heartbroken because although she throws herself on Stig he appears to be entirely disinterested.
Others in the cast are Sig's brother, Sigge, (Bjrn Kjellman) who has enlisted to sail on the submarine. Their mother is played by Nina Gunke.
The film contains much frontal nudity.
Directed by Bo Widerberg who also wrote and edited the film. If he had deleted about 10 minutes' worth of film, (128 minutes) it would not have hurt. Despite that, it is an excellent film, highly recommended. Among Widerberg's many films, perhaps the best known is the fine Elvira Madigan, made some 9 years ago.

"The Sweet Hereafter" (Canada, 1997) a film review by James Kendrick
director: Atom Egoyan screenwriter: Atom Egoyan (based on the novel by Russell Banks) stars: Ian Holm (Russell Stephens), Bruce Greenwood (Billy Ansell), Gabrielle Rose (Dolores Driscoll), Sarah Polley (Nicole Burnell), Tom McCamus (Sam Burnell), Brooke Johnson (Mary Burnell), Maury Chaykin (Wendell Walker), Alberta Watson (Risa Walker), Arsinee Khanjian (Wanda Otto), Earl Pastko (Hartley Otto), Stephanie Morgenstern (Allison), Caerthan Banks (Zoe Stephens) MPAA rating: R Review: **** (out of ****)
In "The Sweet Hereafter," writer/director Atom Egoyan takes us beyond the tragedy of death into the tragedy of living. He shows us how it isn't dying that hurts, but rather the pain of living in the hereafter of death, and dealing with the loss and grief that it brings.
On a cold winter day in a small, isolated town in British Columbia, a school bus full of children slides off the highway and onto a frozen lake, where it cracks through the ice and sinks. Fourteen children die, and numerous others are hurt. For the residents of this small town, all of whose children were on that bus, it is an earth-shattering event that resolutely alters their lives. They have always relied on each other in the past to deal with heartache and pain, but it seems that this tragedy is more than they can handle.
Alberta and Risa Walker, who own a local motel and lost their child in the accident, hire an attorney named Mitchell Stephens (Ian Holm) to bring a lawsuit against someone, anyone for responsibility. The bus driver, Dolores Driscoll (Gabrielle Rose), is a kindly woman who loved the children and, although she lives with a burden of guilt, is not held responsible for the accident. The bus seems to have simply slipped on some ice, and there was nothing should could do to prevent it.
However, according to Stephens, there are no "accidents" in life, and someone will pay for this tragedy, whether that be the manufacturer of the bus or the guardrail the bus broke through. He goes through the town, approaching the parents who have lost children, asking them to join the class action suit and find vent for their anger. And, for his work, Stephens will receive one-third of the settlement money.
However, it is immediately apparent that Stephens has little or no interest in the money. He is driven by something else, something deeper that he shares in common with the grieving parents. He has lost a child, too, but not in the same manner. His daughter, Zoe (Caerthan Banks), who once almost died in his arms as a young child after a spider bite, has been in and out of drug re-hab clinics and detox stations for ten years. She calls him on an irregular basis, begging him for money, but refusing to tell him what she needs it for. "I don't know who I'm taking to," he tells her. In his mind, his daughter is dead.
The lawsuit is, to Stephens, not only a way to mend the town's pain, but also his own. However, not everyone in town wants it to happen. Billy Ansell (Bruce Greenwood), who was driving behind the bus when the accident happened and lost two children, wants nothing to do with it. He has already lost his wife, and he buries his grief in an affair with a married woman. He doesn't want to talk about the accident, and he sees the lawsuit as nothing more than the unnecessary opening of old wounds. To him, the town should be able to take care of its own pain, and it doesn't need outsiders like Stephens getting in the way.
Central to "The Sweet Hereafter" is the tale of Nicole Burnell (Sarah Polley), a teenage girl who dreams of being a singer before the accident turned her into "a wheelchair girl," as she puts it. Aside from Stephens, Nicole is the most complex character in the film, and it is she who ultimately decides the fate of the town and how the lawsuit will turn out.
It is also her sad, haunted voice that we often hear on the soundtrack, reading Robert Browning's poem about the Pied Piper, and how when he led all the town's children away, one was left behind because he was crippled. Obviously, Nicole is that child, and she feels somehow betrayed that the rest of the town's children left her alone by dying in the wreck.
Her situation is further complicated because she is involved in a loving, but incestuous relationship with her father (Tom McCamus). There is only one, fleeting scene that suggests this relationship, but it is somehow tied into the final act of the film. Of all the storylines in "The Sweet Hereafter," this is the most complicated and unresolved, although its implications stretch throughout the entirety of the film. Egoyan knows that the kinds of questions he brings up have no simple answers -- if any at all -- and he doesn't condescend to the audience by trying to neatly wrap it up.
What Egoyan has done in "The Sweet Hereafter" is really nothing short of miraculous. In his adaptation of the novel by Russell Banks, he has made a deeply moving film about a lawyer by transcending the pettiness of law and driving headlong into the deeper meaning of what is loss, and how pitiful monetary and material possessions are when compared to human life.
Egoyan has always been a talented, but distant and cerebral filmmaker whose work suffered only in that it felt so cold. "The Sweet Hereafter" is quite the opposite; Egoyan's stylistic and narrative structures work brilliantly to heighten the impact of the natural emotion, and draw the audience into the tragedy. "The Sweet Hereafter" seems to contain the combined emotional impact that all his other films lacked.
The film is filled with beautiful, subtle performances from all the actors, especially Ian Holm as the lawyer and Sarah Polley as the sad child who was left behind. The beautiful, roving camerawork by Paul Sarossy and the haunting, melodic musical score by Mychael Danna (both previous Egoyan collaborators) give the film a visual and aural cohesiveness with the thematic elements.
Like his earlier films, Egoyan weaves together multiple storylines that form a blanketing whole. He works with time as a fluid substance, shifting back and forth between the past, the distant past, and the present with effortless ease. The actual bus wreck itself doesn't happen until midway through the film, but by that time the event has built up so much emotion that Egoyan can film it from a distance with no graphic detail, and still have it carry great, devastating weight.
Because human life has become such a cheap commodity in movies, it is astounding that Egoyan can convey so much heartbreak in such simple, direct terms. Certainly one of the best films of 1997, "The Sweet Hereafter" is a deeply rewarding, mystifying, and ultimately human film.
