Water Infrastructure Programs and Initiatives
Climate Ready Water Utilities (CRWU)
EPA's Climate Ready Water Utilities (CRWU) initiative is aimed at preparing the water sector, including drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities, for climate change impacts. Extreme weather events, sea level rise, shifting precipitation patterns, and temperature variability, all intensified by climate change, have significant impacts for such utilities. Through the development of easy-to-use tools (including CREAT), this program promotes a clear understanding of how utilities can adapt to climate change.
Watch how several community drinking water and wastewater utilities are responding to extreme events and planning for their climate futures:
Fredricktown, Missouri
Camden, New Jersey
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts
Faribault, Minnesota
Effective and Sustainable Water Utility Management
EPA is working collaboratively with six national organizations that support drinking water and wastewater utilities to promote effective utility management. Attributes of effectively managed water sector utilities were identified by a group of leading water sector utility managers from across the nation. The goal of the Effective Utility Management Initiative is to help utilities address a full range of challenges to move toward sustainable operations and infrastructure.
Emergency Response for Drinking Water and Wastewater Utilities
EPA has developed a variety of guidance documents and other informative resources to support drinking water and wastewater preparedness, response and recovery. The tools and resources available on this site include the new “Flood Resilience: A Basic Guide for Water and Wastewater Utilities.” The Guide helps utilities prepare for the extreme weather events associated with climate change.
Green Infrastructure and Low Impact Development (LID)
The Green Infrastructure site provides tools, case studies, research, and other information to help users learn more about green infrastructure. Green Infrastructure uses natural hydrologic features to manage water and provide environmental and community benefits, including climate change resilience.
The second site focuses on Low Impact Development, which aims to manage stormwater close to the source and includes “green infrastructure” techniques. This website provides fact sheets, reports, videos, and informational resources about low impact development.
Sustainable Infrastructure
EPA is committed to promoting sustainable practices that will help ensure that citizens continue to enjoy the benefits of clean and safe water. Guided by the Agency's Clean Water and Drinking Water Infrastructure Sustainability Policy, EPA is working with stakeholders to help bring about more sustainable practices.
WaterSense
WaterSense is an EPA program that partners with a variety of stakeholders to promote water efficiency. WaterSense works with stakeholders to provide consumers with easy ways to save water through labeled products as well as information resources. WaterSense also encourages innovation in manufacturing to decrease water use and reduce strain on water resources and infrastructure.
Other Water Programs and Initiatives
Climate Ready Estuaries (CRE)
EPA's Climate Ready Estuaries (CRE) program works with the National Estuary Programs and the coastal management community. CRE helps these groups assess climate change vulnerabilities, develop and implement adaptation strategies, and engage and educate stakeholders. The program helps coastal managers and other place-based organizations by providing technical assistance by providing tools such as the "Being Prepared for Climate Change" workbook.
Healthy Watersheds
EPA's Healthy Watersheds program proactively protects aquatic ecosystems through watershed protection. This systems approach protects aquatic biota and their habitat as well as watershed characteristics and processes that support them. Vegetative riparian corridors and headwaters, hydrology, geomorphology, and natural disturbance regimes are specific focus areas of this program. Healthy Watersheds also addresses pervasive threats to watersheds including climate change.
Water Quality Models and Tools
This website contains a variety of tools and models ideal for water utility and watershed professionals. Models and tools found here simulate the movement of precipitation and pollutants from the ground surface through pipe and channel networks, and to receiving waters. Both single-event and continuous simulation may be performed on catchments having storm sewers and natural drainage, for prediction of flows, stages, and pollutant concentrations.

TWO MUCH A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1996 James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 3.0 Alternative Scale: *1/2 out of ****
United States, 1996 U.S. Release Date: 3/15/96 (limited) Running Length: 1:58 MPAA Classification: PG-13 (Profanity, sex, violence) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Cast: Antonio Banderas, Melanie Griffith, Daryl Hannah, Danny Aiello, Joan Cusack, Eli Wallach Director: Fernando Trueba Producer: Cristin Huete Screenplay: Fernando and David Trueba based on the novel by Donald E. Westlake Cinematography: Jose Luis Alcaine Music: Michel Camilo U.S. Distributor: Touchstone Pictures
In general, this kind of brainless farce is either a brilliant triumph or a dismal failure. There's no middle ground. TWO MUCH, an English-language release from BELLE EPOQUE director Fernando Trueba, conforms to this precept. Had it been thirty minutes shorter, TWO MUCH would simply have been boring. However, at nearly two hours, it's a grueling experience. Even fans of Antonio Banderas may find it a chore to endure this motionless picture.
Banderas plays Art Dodge, a Miami-based con man who tries to trick widows into buying modern artwork.  Twenty-four hours, after a night of sex, Betty and Art are engaged. Then Art meets Betty's sister, Liz (Daryl Hannah), and, suddenly, he's in love. Since Liz can't stand Art, he invents a twin brother, Bart, who's more to her liking. Things get complicated, however, when Art and Bart are required to be in the same house at the same time.
With someone of John Cleese's comic aptitude, this film might have worked, but Antonio Banderas is out of his depth. At his best, he's almost adequate.  Even considering his limitations, however, he's better than his co-stars. Melanie Griffith and Daryl Hannah both look bored, which is inevitably how everyone in the audience will feel watching them. There's no spark, romantic or otherwise, during the entire sluggish two hours that TWO MUCH is on screen.
The only one with any presence is Danny Aiello, and he acts like he's playing the heavy in a gangster drama. Gene is a sinister caricature, and his presence casts a pall over every scene he's in (especially one where things turn violent). This isn't the best mood for something that's intended to be lighthearted. But, as ill-advised as the tone is, the pacing is worse. This film drags, and there aren't enough laughs to fill up a five-minute short, not to mention a full length feature. Ultimately, the real problem with TWO MUCH is that it's much, much too little.

6.5.2
In Tallinn
The vessel was moored alongside Baltic Shipyard and considerable inspections were carried out by the representatives of B.V.:
- Hans Olsson
- Anders Wirstam
- somebody from the head office, Paris - probably J.-F. Segretain - Manager of the Marine Departmentand by the inspectors of Sjöfartsverket, Stockholm:
- Tom Evers
- Johann Båth
- Stellan Johansson
- Ari Niemenenand by various representatives of the E.N.M.B. as well as ESCO and N&T.
The findings of B.V. are summarised in the "Survey Report for Issue (1) for Passenger Ship Safety Certificate" dated 07.02.93, which is attached as Enclosure <IP_ADDRESS>.
The report mentions for example under 'General Information' on page 1:«Does the vessel proceed more than 20 miles from the nearest land, in the course of her voyage? (Reg. 1 (c), Chapter II)? Yes.»
In the SOLAS edition in force in January 1993, which included the SOLAS 1974 edition plus subsequent addenda, no Regulation 1 (c) in Chapter II can be found anymore, i.e. the B.V. form is based on an older edition of SOLAS 1974 when Reg. 1 (c) - which is now Regulation 1.4. - contained the following:
«Chapter II-1
Construction - Subdivision and Stability,
Machinery and Electrical Installations
Part A General
Regulation 1(c) The Administration may, if it considers that the sheltered nature and conditions of the voyage are such as to render the application of any specific requirements of this chapter unreasonable or unnecessary, exempt from those requirements individual ships or classes of ships belonging to its country which, in the course of their voyage, do not proceed more than 20 miles from the nearest land.»
Consequently it should have been obvious for B.V. that it was not possible to grant any exemption whatsoever as "the vessel proceeded more than 20 nm from the nearest land in the course of her voyage." As the wording of Regulation 1 (c) is more or less identical to Regulation 1.4. of the 1992 edition of SOLAS 1974 the application of the older form did not make a difference.
The report continues with item 2 - Survey of Hull and Machinery»2.1. Has an inspection of the structure been carried out? Yes, 1-93.«
This item is the only one, where the B.V. form does not quote any SOLAS Regulation.
»3. Stability Chapter II-1, Reg. 7 - 19-20
Is the master supplied with the necessary documents concerning stability? Yes.
(Approved by the Finnish Authorities, pending B.V. approval).«Here B.V. correctly did not accept the "Stability Booklet" approved by the F.B.N., because there were indications that it could not comply with all requirements (see Subchapter 6.4).
On the other hand B.V. accepted the structure of the vessel approved by F.B.N. including the location of the bow ramp as upper extension of the collision bulkhead, although this was obviously not in accordance with the requirements of SOLAS because the ramp was visibly located too much forward. It did not require a detailed structural examination to find that out but just the knowledge of the structure of the vessel which a Classification Society should have after 12 years of attendance to a vessel built under its supervision! Knowledge of the relevant SOLAS requirements Mr. Olsson and the man from Paris definitely should have had, as the SOLAS rules had then already been part of the B.V. rules for about 10 years. B.V. now argues in defence that the vessel in her previous trade had also proceeded more than 20 nm from the nearest land - which is true for the leg Vaasa-Sundsvall - and thus they could assume that the structure had been approved by F.B.N. to be in conformity with SOLAS 1974 requirements.SOLAS Regulation 12, however, requires:
»A certificate called a Passenger Ship Safety Certificate shall be issued after inspection and survey to a passenger ship which complies with the requirements of Chapters II-1, II-2, III and IV and any other relevant requirements of the present Regulation.«
and Chapter II-1, Regulation 9 (ii) requires:
»If the ship has a long forward superstructure, the forepeak bulkhead shall be extended weathertight to the deck next above bulkhead deck. The extension need not be fitted directly over the bulkhead below, provided it is at least 5 per cent of the length of the ship from the forward perpendicular, and the part of the bulkhead deck which forms the step is made effectively weathertight.«
Nevertheless B.V. issued an (Interim) PSSC confirming that the vessel did comply with SOLAS in every respect.
After the casualty, B.V. has explained this in their letter to the JAIC dated 10.01.95 - see Enclosure <IP_ADDRESS> - as follows:
»D-change of flag in February 1993 D1 Bureau Veritas authorisations for Estonian flag vessels Bureau Veritas received as of 18 August 1992 authorisation from the Government of Estonia to issue certificates pursuant to the following conventions:
Load Line 1966
SOLAS 1974
MARPOL 1973
Tonnage 1969The following documents were issued to the vessel:
International Load Line Certificate
Passenger Ship Safety Certificate
International Oil Pollution Prevention Certificate
International Tonnage Certificate 1969
Attestation Pursuant to the Helsinki Convention 1974 (Prevention of Pollution by Sewage).D2 Surveys carried out by Bureau Veritas
The vessel had valid International Certificates and kept the Bureau Veritas Class when applying to fly the Estonian flag.
A periodical survey pursuant to SOLAS 1974, consolidated edition 1992, Chapter I, Part B, Regulation 7 (b) (ii) was carried out by Bureau Veritas on behalf of the Estonian Government according to the transfer of flag clauses of the Agreement signed 18 August 1992 between the Estonian Maritime Administration and Bureau Veritas.
The Exemption Certificate granted by the Finnish Authorities for radiotelegraphy (hours of listening by operator) was not re-issued under Estonian flag.
In the course of the periodical survey carried out by Bureau Veritas, a few anomalies were detected and notified to the Finnish Authorities.
E Renewal of certificates as from 1993.
The ship was surveyed and certificates renewed during the period 1993 - 1994.
The Passenger Ship Safety Certificate was kept interim pending completion of the vessel's new loading cases.«This means that a representative from the B.V. head office Paris together with the B.V. manager for Sweden, Hans Olsson, have carried out a "Periodical Survey pursuant to SOLAS 1974, consolidated edition 1992, Chapter I, Part B, Regulation 7 (b) (ii)", where it is stated:
»7. Survey of Passenger Ships
(b) The surveys referred to above shall be carried out as follows:
(ii) The periodical survey shall include an inspection of the structure .... The survey shall be such as to ensure that the ship, as regards the structure .... is in satisfactory condition ... and that it complies with the requirements of the present regulations, ...«It is obvious that a survey in compliance with this regulation cannot have been conducted. Insofar the statement of B.V. must be untrue.
It is furthermore questionable whether B.V. was entitled to carry out just a periodical survey, because Regulation 14 - Duration and Validity of Certificates states under»(g) A certificate shall cease to be valid:
(ii) upon transfer of the ship to the flag of another Government. A new certificate shall only be issued when the Government issuing the new certificate is fully satisfied that the ship is in compliance with the requirements of Regulation 11 (a) and (b) of this chapter.«Regulation 11 (a) Maintenance of condition after survey - requires:
»The condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to conform with the provisions of the present regulations to ensure that the ship in all respects will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons on board.«
This 'Group of Experts' consequently concludes from the above that Bureau Veritas in its capacity as mandatary of E.N.M.B. has on 07.02.1993 issued an - Interim - Passengership Safety Certificate for M.V. ESTONIA in obvious violation of the relevant regulations of SOLAS.
Note:
When the co-operation between B.V. and Sjöfartsverket in connection with the flag change procedure was discussed with Ulf Beijner - the head of the Sjöfartsverket Inspection office Stockholm at that time and in this capacity in charge of the ESTONIA matter - he fully agreed to the developments and sequence-of-events explained on the previous pages, but when it came to the causative connection between the missing "partial collision door" and the catastrophe, he strongly rejected this connection with reference to the explosion hole in the starboard side in way of the 0-deck, which in his opinion was the cause of the sinking.
The findings of the Sjöfartsverket inspectors - as far as available here - can be taken from the handwritten remarks made on pages A - J between 04.01.93 at Turku and 21.01.93 in Tallinn and on 21.03.93, when the vessel was again in Turku. These remarks - 9 pages - are attached as Enclosure <IP_ADDRESS> and indicate that at least part of the relevant safety installations had not been in proper condition. It has to be assumed that the deficiencies were rectified prior to Sjöfartsverket approving the vessel, although some of the items either still existed or had reappeared when Åke Sjöblom and his colleague inspected the vessel with their trainees shortly before the last departure. See Chapter 15.
In addition to a large number of safety checks the Sjöfartsverket inspectors also had an "Operational Control" performed by the new crew of the ESTONIA which consisted of a fire drill and an abandon ship drill. Details can be taken from Enclosure <IP_ADDRESS> - Operational Control ESTONIA.
On 2 February 1993 ESTONIA finally departed from Tallinn with representatives from authorities, B.V. and Sjöfartsverket on board. At sea a function test of ship and crew was successfully carried out and after 2 hours the voyage to Stockholm was resumed. ESTONIA looked perfect as can be seen from the following three photos.

This example shows the ability to bind a custom template to a column. There are two ways how to to add or delete the items from the table, when the array is binded to the table. The first one is done with splice/push functions on the original array that was passed as data parameter to datatables, the second one is done through the datatables API. In addition we also set the row invalidation option to "rendered" (default "none"), which is used to remove the order/filter cache of the rendered rows (this prevents faulty sorting, when changing an item). If the data of the rendered row is changed the row will be automatically invalidated. With the button "Edit random item" we are invalidating rows manually because the randomly item may not be rendered yet. The second table selectedRows is populated by any of the items selected in first table. The selection of items in the first table, can be done using Operating System like selection (shift and ctrl / cmd keys on your keyboard to add / remove rows from the selection).

We've been asking bootcamp participants to tell us about themselves for a while now, so it seems only fair to share some information about our instructors. First, of the 82 instructors who responded to our survey two weeks ago, how many are comfortable teaching which topic to novices, to intermediates, or not at all?
| Not At All | Novices | Intermediates | |
|---|---|---|---|

Thanks to Jenny Bryan, we have a ranked visualization of those responses:
Second, who feels comfortable setting up on which platforms? (The responses don't sum to 82 because many people selected several options.)
| Linux | 71 |
|---|---|
| Mac OS X | 61 |
| Windows | 42 |
| Desktop VMs | 33 |

| Europe | 13 |
| Australia/New Zealand | 6 |
| Sub-Saharan Africa | 1 |
| East Asia | 1 |
| South America | 1 |
We have information about instructors' research areas as well, but it's hard to categorize. Once we've recovered from running our biggest events ever, we'll dig into it a little more and share what we find; until then, you can download the raw data and tell us what correlations you can find.

[dscrd-hush] <Finality> Hope u keep it on
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> I will be working on Hush for a while. We now have sustainable funding via a 10% Founders Reward
[dscrd-hush] <Finality> I know the awesome work u are putting in
@kennyog @florian_tramer @danboneh I am wondering why you cited me in a timeline in a first draft of a paper, then deleted history in the final draft. I always described that reading $ZEC commits caused me to independently discover the issue and gave y'all full credit
[dscrd-hush] <Finality> But what about a user friendly wallet
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @Biz looks like I went outside the academia-secret-handshake
[dscrd-hush] <Finality> U want ur work to be recognised then u need to do something about it
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @Biz why would somebody delete a timeline and reference to first independent discovery, from the final version of a paper?
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Doesn't that seem a bit like censorship of reality? Also, I think ECC asked them to do it, because Zcash Company dislikes me
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> so I don't think it's an accident
@kennyog @florian_tramer @danboneh would you also clarify something for me:
Did @ElectricCoinCo have anything to do with you removing the timeline from your final paper and the associated reference to my independent discovery?
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> gosh, that will cause some meetings at ECC
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> lololol
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @Finality no idea what you are talking about to be honest
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> but i like your positivity
[dscrd-hush] <heguli97> @Finality i think the current wallets SilentDragon, SilentDragonLite and SilentDragonAndroid are as user friendly as any other coins' wallets if not better
(edited)
[dscrd-hush] <Finality> I support what finality says
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> SD, SDA and SDL are so new, we havent' updated our website yet
[dscrd-hush] <Finality> A friend just replief
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> we literally just talked about this in #developers a few hours ago
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> so it's in progress, like everything
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> the more you can jump in and help, the better
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> whatever skills you have, we can probably put them to use
[dscrd-hush] <Finality> Well i put it in short.  But if u want mass adaption.u need user friendly wallets
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> that is literally what i spend every waking moment on
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> so it's kind of like going up to the Pope and saying "You should think more about religion"
Shoutout to @dukeleto who is crushing the privacy coin sector. He stays involved with the community and is always pushing cryptocurrencies In the right direction. We need more #DukeLeto’s in the world and less #fakeSatoshi’s Thank you for all you’re doing fo...

[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> @Finality we need very specific action items, if your advice wants to be useful
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> we are doing all the things you want
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> all damn day
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> I have been trying to get this wormhole thing working for 4 days straight, i have barely slept
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> i can't stop thinking about this damn wormhole
[dscrd-hush] <heguli97> @Finality If you think there's something that needs to be improved, you can just say it
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> we are into radical honesty here
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> that is why people respect me, I guess.  Epic work by @florian_tramer , @kennyog + @danboneh rocked our industry https://t.co/8pMVrNNnAo
We need drastically better privacy coin tech.
Join us: https://t.co/hyGe...
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> that is a radically honest tweet, that almost nobody would send
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> I trash the entire Monero + Zcash world, and then invite people to Hush discord
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> I gave full respect to the researchers
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> they did not like this
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> so yeah, not sure the point, but I just do what I think is Right
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> people that respect that sometimes end up in the Hush community, and people that don't are part of the hordes of Twitter haters
@kennyog @florian_tramer @danboneh I am wondering why you cited me in a timeline in a first draft of a paper, then deleted history in the final draft. I always described that reading $ZEC commits caused me to independently discover the issue and gave y'all full credit
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Imagine, a draft of a paper shows a timeline of events, and it quotes you and says you were the first to publicly say anything
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> then, the final paper comes out, and the timeline is gone and so is the mention of first public discovery
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> doesn't that seem shady?
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> that is why i wanted to very directly ask this question, even if it's never answered, that is a response itself: https://twitter.com/dukeleto/status/1196104824510652417
@kennyog @florian_tramer @danboneh would you also clarify something for me:
Did @ElectricCoinCo have anything to do with you removing the timeline from your final paper and the associated reference to my independent discovery?
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> Some ECC devs didn't like what I said on Twitter and blocked me and so I know there is good motivation for them to delete me from the paper, Zcash doesn't want to see my name or acknowledge my discovery
[dscrd-hush] <dukeleto> So, if this gets deleted from the history books, tell your children/etc

Old Anthony Rockwall, retired manufacturer and proprietor of Rockwall's Eureka Soap, looked out the library window of his Fifth Avenue mansion and grinned. His neighbour to the right—the aristocratic clubman, G. Van Schuylight Suffolk–Jones—came out to his waiting motor–car, wrinkling a contumelious nostril, as usual, at the Italian renaissance sculpture of the soap palace's front elevation.
"Stuck–up old statuette of nothing doing!" commented the ex–Soap King. "The Eden Musee'll get that old frozen Nesselrode yet if he don't watch out. I'll have this house painted red, white, and blue next summer and see if that'll make his Dutch nose turn up any higher."
And then Anthony Rockwall, who never cared for bells, went to the door of his library and shouted "Mike!" in the same voice that had once chipped off pieces of the welkin on the Kansas prairies.
"Tell my son," said Anthony to the answering menial, "to come in here before he leaves the house."
When young Rockwall entered the library the old man laid aside his newspaper, looked at him with a kindly grimness on his big, smooth, ruddy countenance, rumpled his mop of white hair with one hand and rattled the keys in his pocket with the other.
"Richard," said Anthony Rockwall, "what do you pay for the soap that you use?"
Richard, only six months home from college, was startled a little. He had not yet taken the measure of this sire of his, who was as full of unexpectednesses as a girl at her first party.
"Six dollars a dozen, I think, dad."
"And your clothes?"
"I suppose about sixty dollars, as a rule."
"You're a gentleman," said Anthony, decidedly. "I've heard of these young bloods spending $24 a dozen for soap, and going over the hundred mark for clothes. You've got as much money to waste as any of 'em, and yet you stick to what's decent and moderate. Now I use the old Eureka—not only for sentiment, but it's the purest soap made. Whenever you pay more than 10 cents a cake for soap you buy bad perfumes and labels. But 50 cents is doing very well for a young man in your generation, position and condition.  They say it takes three generations to make one. They're off. Money'll do it as slick as soap grease. It's made you one. By hokey! it's almost made one of me. I'm nearly as impolite and disagreeable and ill–mannered as these two old Knickerbocker gents on each side of me that can't sleep of nights because I bought in between 'em."
"There are some things that money can't accomplish," remarked young Rockwall, rather gloomily.
"Now, don't say that," said old Anthony, shocked. "I bet my money on money every time. I've been through the encyclopaedia down to Y looking for something you can't buy with it; and I expect to have to take up the appendix next week. I'm for money against the field. Tell me something money won't buy."
"For one thing," answered Richard, rankling a little, "it won't buy one into the exclusive circles of society."
"Oho! won't it?" thundered the champion of the root of evil. "You tell me where your exclusive circles would be if the first Astor hadn't had the money to pay for his steerage passage over?"
Richard sighed.
"And that's what I was coming to," said the old man, less boisterously. "That's why I asked you to come in. There's something going wrong with you, boy. I've been noticing it for two weeks. Out with it. I guess I could lay my hands on eleven millions within twenty–four hours, besides the real estate. If it's your liver, there's the Rambler down in the bay, coaled, and ready to steam down to the Bahamas in two days."
"Not a bad guess, dad; you haven't missed it far."
"Ah," said Anthony, keenly; "what's her name?"
Richard began to walk up and down the library floor. There was enough comradeship and sympathy in this crude old father of his to draw his confidence.
"Why don't you ask her?" demanded old Anthony. "She'll jump at you.  Your hands are clean. You've got no Eureka soap on 'em. You've been to college, but she'll overlook that."
"I haven't had a chance," said Richard.
"Make one," said Anthony. "Take her for a walk in the park, or a straw ride, or walk home with her from church. Chance! Pshaw!"
"You don't know the social mill, dad. She's part of the stream that turns it. Every hour and minute of her time is arranged for days in advance. I must have that girl, dad, or this town is a blackjack swamp forevermore. And I can't write it—I can't do that."
"Tut!" said the old man. "Do you mean to tell me that with all the money I've got you can't get an hour or two of a girl's time for yourself?"
"I've put it off too late. She's going to sail for Europe at noon day after to–morrow for a two years' stay. I'm to see her alone to–morrow evening for a few minutes. She's at Larchmont now at her aunt's. I can't go there. But I'm allowed to meet her with a cab at the Grand Central Station to–morrow evening at the 8.30 train. We drive down Broadway to Wallack's at a gallop, where her mother and a box party will be waiting for us in the lobby. Do you think she would listen to a declaration from me during that six or eight minutes under those circumstances? No. And what chance would I have in the theatre or afterward? None. No, dad, this is one tangle that your money can't unravel. We can't buy one minute of time with cash; if we could, rich people would live longer. There's no hope of getting a talk with Miss Lantry before she sails."
"All right, Richard, my boy," said old Anthony, cheerfully. "You may run along down to your club now. I'm glad it ain't your liver. But don't forget to burn a few punk sticks in the joss house to the great god Mazuma from time to time. You say money won't buy time? Well, of course, you can't order eternity wrapped up and delivered at your residence for a price, but I've seen Father Time get pretty bad stone bruises on his heels when he walked through the gold diggings."
That night came Aunt Ellen, gentle, sentimental, wrinkled, sighing, oppressed by wealth, in to Brother Anthony at his evening paper, and began discourse on the subject of lovers' woes.
"He told me all about it," said brother Anthony, yawning. "I told him my bank account was at his service. And then he began to knock money. Said money couldn't help. Said the rules of society couldn't be bucked for a yard by a team of ten–millionaires."
"Oh, Anthony," sighed Aunt Ellen, "I wish you would not think so much of money. Wealth is nothing where a true affection is concerned. Love is all–powerful. If he only had spoken earlier! She could not have refused our Richard. But now I fear it is too late. He will have no opportunity to address her. All your gold cannot bring happiness to your son."
At eight o'clock the next evening Aunt Ellen took a quaint old gold ring from a moth–eaten case and gave it to Richard.
"Wear it to–night, nephew," she begged. "Your mother gave it to me. Good luck in love she said it brought. She asked me to give it to you when you had found the one you loved."
Young Rockwall took the ring reverently and tried it on his smallest finger. It slipped as far as the second joint and stopped. He took it off and stuffed it into his vest pocket, after the manner of man. And then he 'phoned for his cab.
At the station he captured Miss Lantry out of the gadding mob at eight thirty–two.
"We mustn't keep mamma and the others waiting," said she.
"To Wallack's Theatre as fast as you can drive!" said Richard loyally.
They whirled up Forty–second to Broadway, and then down the white–starred lane that leads from the soft meadows of sunset to the rocky hills of morning.
At Thirty–fourth Street young Richard quickly thrust up the trap and ordered the cabman to stop.
"I've dropped a ring," he apologised, as he climbed out. "It was my mother's, and I'd hate to lose it. I won't detain you a minute—I saw where it fell."
In less than a minute he was back in the cab with the ring.
But within that minute a crosstown car had stopped directly in front of the cab. The cabman tried to pass to the left, but a heavy express wagon cut him off. He tried the right, and had to back away from a furniture van that had no business to be there. He tried to back out, but dropped his reins and swore dutifully. He was blockaded in a tangled mess of vehicles and horses.
One of those street blockades had occurred that sometimes tie up commerce and movement quite suddenly in the big city.
 said Miss Lantry, impatiently. "We'll be late."
Richard stood up in the cab and looked around. He saw a congested flood of wagons, trucks, cabs, vans and street cars filling the vast space where Broadway, Sixth Avenue and Thirty–fourth street cross one another as a twenty–six inch maiden fills her twenty–two inch girdle. And still from all the cross streets they were hurrying and rattling toward the converging point at full speed, and hurling themselves into the struggling mass, locking wheels and adding their drivers' imprecations to the clamour. The entire traffic of Manhattan seemed to have jammed itself around them. The oldest New Yorker among the thousands of spectators that lined the sidewalks had not witnessed a street blockade of the proportions of this one.
"I'm very sorry," said Richard, as he resumed his seat, "but it looks as if we are stuck. They won't get this jumble loosened up in an hour. It was my fault. If I hadn't dropped the ring we—"
"Let me see the ring," said Miss Lantry. "Now that it can't be helped, I don't care.
At 11 o'clock that night somebody tapped lightly on Anthony Rockwall's door.
"Come in," shouted Anthony, who was in a red dressing–gown, reading a book of piratical adventures.
Somebody was Aunt Ellen, looking like a grey–haired angel that had been left on earth by mistake.
"They're engaged, Anthony," she said, softly. "She has promised to marry our Richard. On their way to the theatre there was a street blockade, and it was two hours before their cab could get out of it.
"And oh, brother Anthony, don't ever boast of the power of money again. A little emblem of true love—a little ring that symbolised unending and unmercenary affection—was the cause of our Richard finding his happiness. He dropped it in the street, and got out to recover it. And before they could continue the blockade occurred. He spoke to his love and won her there while the cab was hemmed in. Money is dross compared with true love, Anthony."
"All right," said old Anthony. "I'm glad the boy has got what he wanted. I told him I wouldn't spare any expense in the matter if—"
"But, brother Anthony, what good could your money have done?"
"Sister," said Anthony Rockwall. "I've got my pirate in a devil of a scrape. His ship has just been scuttled, and he's too good a judge of the value of money to let drown. I wish you would let me go on with this chapter."
The story should end here. I wish it would as heartily as you who read it wish it did. But we must go to the bottom of the well for truth.
The next day a person with red hands and a blue polka–dot necktie, who called himself Kelly, called at Anthony Rockwall's house, and was at once received in the library.
"Well," said Anthony, reaching for his chequebook, "it was a good bilin' of soap. Let's see—you had $5,000 in cash."
"I paid out $300 more of my own," said Kelly. "I had to go a little above the estimate. I got the express wagons and cabs mostly for $5; but the trucks and two–horse teams mostly raised me to $10. The motormen wanted $10, and some of the loaded teams $20. The cops struck me hardest—$50 I paid two, and the rest $20 and $25. But didn't it work beautiful, Mr. Rockwall? I'm glad William A. Brady wasn't onto that little outdoor vehicle mob scene. I wouldn't want William to break his heart with jealousy. And never a rehearsal, either! The boys was on time to the fraction of a second. It was two hours before a snake could get below Greeley's statue."
 "Your thousand, and the $300 you were out. You don't despise money, do you, Kelly?"
"Me?" said Kelly. "I can lick the man that invented poverty."
Anthony called Kelly when he was at the door.
"You didn't notice," said he, "anywhere in the tie–up, a kind of a fat boy without any clothes on shooting arrows around with a bow, did you?"
"Why, no," said Kelly, mystified. "I didn't. If he was like you say, maybe the cops pinched him before I got there."
"I thought the little rascal wouldn't be on hand," chuckled Anthony. "Good–by, Kelly."

The K2 Gold company is attempting to destroy the Cerro
Gordo area
and Conglomerate Mesa
with open-pit cyanide gold mining,
and we need your help to stop them.
Cerro Gordo is a 19th century mining (ghost) town.
At it's peak, it was the largest producer of silver in California.
Its abandoned mineshafts are full of old relics and important historical artifacts,
with many shafts not having been touched for over a century.
The Conglomerate Mesa is a mesa biome near Death Valley. It is situated around the area of Cerro Gordo and Keeler, and is a historic silver mining area from the late 19th/early 20th century, contributing to the development of cities like Los Angeles. It has a lot of unqiue flora and fauna and is adjacent to Death Valley.
K2 Gold Corporation is a mining corporation from Canada.
They own the Mojave Project gold mine, a giant open-pit cyanide gold mine, located directly next to (or potentially in) Cerro
Gordo.
As a part of their expansions, they are now exploring directly into
the Cerro Gordo and Conglomerate Mesa Area. Their mining method is using tons of cynaide dumped directly on public ground, with cyanide being a highly toxic material.
In the process of mining the proposed area, large quantities of historic artifacts and structures would be destroyed, hundreds of endangered plants and animals killed, and the ground forever contaminated. And all of this on public BLM owned land.
The fight is not lost yet however. We can still manage to get the exploration and mining plan rejected with the BLM and stop this operation.
If you are a US/California resident, please consider sending in a comment to the BLM here.
You can also write an E-mail directly to the K2 Gold, more information here.

A responsive site is a website that works well on every screen no matter the screen size. Responsive sites are flexible and adjust depending on the browser screen size. Responsiveness is important so that the site visitor can have a good website experience no matter what device they are using - from mobiles and tablets through to laptops and desktop computers.
Mobile first design is when you design a website for the small screen of a mobile before developing it for bigger screens such as desktop computers.
This approach keeps the focus on the key content of the site as what can fit on a small mobile screen is limited. Mobile first design also helps prevent small devices from having to parse heaps of unused CSS that is only relevent to the bigger screens.
In web design a framework can be used to support the development of websites. It comes as a package made up of files and folders of code such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc. Instead of developers having to always build websites from scratch, developers can use the code provided in a selected framework as a base to start building a site.
Using a framework can help speed up the process by eliminating a lot of work and providing tidy code. It can also be helpful in collaborative work as well as in the understanding of good practices.
However, as frameworks are pre-made code there can be a lot of unused code leftover that isn't relevant to the site. Also, content and presentation can become mixed. Another downside is that the developer doesnt't learn how to do it themselves.
A wireframe is a sketch of a website that shows how all the visual elements will be laid out. It helps establish the key content and how it will be viewed on the page. Because it is a simple sketch and doesn't include details such as colours and fonts, it helps keep communication with the client focused on just where elements are located and how prominent they are on the page. A wireframe can also be used as an underlay in the design of the sites styles.
I tried to keep my wireframes simple however there were a couple of things I found difficult to implement.
I initially wanted a hamburger menu for the mobile size screen however it seems I'd have to use JavaScript. I also found it hard creating a footer that would stay fixed at the bottom of the screen.

It is still under development, but several steps can be tried and tested. Mainly the CWR validation steps. But pay attention that not all the CWR files may be correctly read yet.
Once the application is fully working it will offer several features, which include among them:
And also will allow connecting to external modules for other related jobs, such as:
You can try uploading a file for the CWR validation process. Remember that not all files will be read correctly on the current version.

I thought I would bake up a special treat for the kids after school and came up with this recipe. I buy coconut sugar and cacao nibs through health food stores, but you should be able to purchase them online too. Coconut sugar is low GI and has a really lovely caramel flavour, similar to brown sugar, but not so sickly sweet. Cacao nibs are a great substitute for choc chips and have so much goodness in them. Best of all, my kids don't notice the difference.

Hello,
in the below code, why is Π of type fruitUniverse, not, say, fruitType,
because it is a Proposition? What does the universe have to do
with the proposition?
Many thanks.
Phiroc
universe fruitUniverse constant fruitType : Type constants ft1 ft2 : fruitType -- Prop = Statement -- apple and apple are equal atoms #check ft1 = ft2 namespace hidden constant list : Type fruitUniverse → Type fruitUniverse -- variables l : list fruitType namespace list constant cons' : Π fruitType : Type fruitUniverse, fruitType → list fruitType → list fruitType constant nil' : Π fruitType : Type fruitUniverse, list fruitType constant append' : Π fruitType : Type fruitUniverse, list fruitType → list fruitType → list fruitType end list end hidden
lean
Please add "lean" after opening "```", then syntax highlighting will work.
also I didn't understand the question
Note that fruitType
in Π fruitType ...
has nothing to do with constant fruitType : Type
I'm trying to create a cons' function which I can later use to create a list of Fruits. The only way to make Lean validate the above code is to make Π fruitType of type fruitUniverse.
What is Π? A Prop?
If I understand Lean, to create a cons function, you need to create a Proposal, Π.
universe
is a way to deal with "type of all types"; most probably you don't need it.Π
is a pi
type, not a proposition. E.g., Π n : nat, {m : nat // n < m}
means "a function that takes a natural number n
and returns another natural number m
together with a proof of the fact n < m
.constant
is like an axiom
, not a variable
. When you declare constant list
, it declares a type named hidden.list
with no extra information about this type.this isn’t C; there is no preamble
y'all like tomatos very much even though it isn't a fruit fruit
i did my best to counteract the bias for tomatoes
Does the fruit universe also contain fruit Pies, or is it predicative?

A simple exoplanet system¶
Here we’ll discuss how to instantiate an exoplanet system and compute its full light curve. Currently, all orbital stuff lives in the starry.kepler
module, which implements a simple Keplerian solver using the exoplanet
package. This works for systems of exoplanets orbiting stars, moons orbiting planets, and binary star systems. Keep in mind, however, that the primary object is assumed to sit at the origin, and the secondary objects are assumed to be massless. A more flexible N-body
solver using rebound
is in the works, so stay tuned!
[3]:
import numpy as np
import starry
starry.config.lazy = False
starry.config.quiet = True
Creating a star¶
Let’s instantiate a Primary
object:
[4]:
star = starry.Primary(starry.Map(ydeg=0, udeg=2, amp=1.0), m=1.0, r=1.0, prot=1.0)
The first argument to starry.Primary
is a starry.Map
instance defining the surface map of the object. We’re giving the star a quadratically limb-darkened (udeg = 2
) map with no other spatial features (ydeg = 0
). The aplitude amp
controls the overall scaling of the intensity of the object and is therefore equal to its luminosity (in arbitrary units).
The starry.Primary
class takes additional keywords, including the mass, radius, and rotation period, all of which we set to unity. By default, these are measured in solar units (for the mass and radius) and days (for the periods), though it’s easy to change that. Check out the docs for more details.
Note
Parameters of the surface map (such as ydeg
, udeg
, and amp
) should be passed to the Map
object;
all other parameters should be passed directly to the Primary
object.
Let’s now set the limb darkening coefficients of the star. Let’s give the stellar map a linear and a quadratic limb-darkening coefficient:
[5]:
star.map[1] = 0.40
star.map[2] = 0.26
Here’s what that looks like:
[6]:
star.map.show()
Creating a planet¶
Let’s create a (very) hot Jupiter with some interesting properties:
[7]:
planet = starry.kepler.Secondary(
starry.Map(ydeg=5, amp=5e-3), # the surface map
m=0, # mass in solar masses
r=0.1, # radius in solar radii
porb=1.0, # orbital period in days
prot=1.0, # rotation period in days (synchronous)
Omega=30, # longitude of ascending node in degrees
ecc=0.3, # eccentricity
w=30, # longitude of pericenter in degrees
t0=0, # time of transit in days
)
Here we’ve instantiated a planet with a fifth degree surface map, zero mass, a radius that is one-tenth that of the star, a luminosity (amplitude) that is \(5\times 10^{-3}\) times that of the star, an orbital period of 1 day, a rotational period of 1 day, and a bit of an eccentricity.
Note
The default rotational period for objects is infinity, so if you don’t specify prot
, the planet’s surface
map will not rotate as the planet orbits the star and there will be no phase curve variation. For planets whose
emission tracks the star (i.e., a hot Jupiter with a hotspot) set prot=porb
. Also note that the default
amplitude and mass are both unity, so make sure to change those as well if you don’t want a planet that’s as
bright and as massive as its star!
 The next thing we get to do is specify the planet’s map. For simplicity, let’s just create a random one:
[8]:
np.random.seed(123)
planet.map[1:, :] = 0.01 * np.random.randn(planet.map.Ny - 1)
[9]:
planet.map.show()
Note that when instantiating a map for a starry.kepler.Secondary
instance, the map is defined as it would appear at the reference time, t0
. That’s also the time of transit. Quite often we’re interested in the side of the planet that faces the star during secondary eclipse (since that’s what we’re able to map!). In that case, we can specify the initial rotational phase of the planet (when t=t0
) to be \(180^\circ\):
[10]:
planet.theta0 = 180
The image above now corresponds to the side of the planet visible during (or near) secondary eclipse, assuming it’s synchronously rotation. Check out the viewing geometry tutorial for more information.
Now, it’s probably a good idea to ensure we didn’t end up with negative specific intensity anywhere:
[11]:
planet.map.minimize()
[11]:
(32.77869170732118, -159.21879080507742, 0.0012465984320517332)
This routine performs gradient descent to try to find the global minimum of the map, and returns the latitude, longitude, and value of the intensity at the minimum. The intensity is positive, so we’re good to go.
Creating a system¶
Now that we have a star and a planet, we can instantiate a planetary system:
[12]:
system = starry.System(star, planet)
The first argument to a starry.System
call is a Primary
object, followed by any number of Secondary
objects.
There are some other system attributes you can set–notably an exposure time (texp
)–if the exposure time of your data is long enough to affect the light curve shape. Check out the docs for more information.
Computing light curves¶
We’re ready to compute the full system light curve:
[14]:
%%time
time = np.linspace(-0.25, 3.25, 10000)
flux_system = system.flux(time)
CPU times: user 27.6 ms, sys: 0 ns, total: 27.6 ms
Wall time: 27.2 ms
Cool – starry
computed 10,000 cadences in a few tens of ms. Let’s check it out:
[15]:
plt.plot(time, flux_system)
plt.xlabel("time [days]")
plt.ylabel("system flux");
We can also plot the stellar and planetary light curves individually:
[16]:
flux_star, flux_planet = system.flux(time, total=False)
[17]:
plt.plot(time, flux_star)
plt.xlabel("time [days]")
plt.ylabel("stellar flux");
[18]:
plt.plot(time, flux_planet)
plt.xlabel("time [days]")
plt.ylabel("planet flux");
And, just for fun, the planet’s orbit (the sky plane is the \(xy\) plane, with \(y\) pointing up and \(x\) pointing to the right; \(z\) points toward the observer):
[19]:
x, y, z = system.position(time)
The variables \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) now contain two elements: the position of the star (index 0) and the position of the planet (index 1). Let’s plot the planet’s orbit:
[20]:
plt.plot(time, x[1], label="x")
plt.plot(time, y[1], label="y")
plt.plot(time, z[1], label="z")
plt.ylabel("position [R$_*$]")
plt.xlabel("time [days]")
plt.legend()
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 3, sharex=True, sharey=True)
ax[0].plot(x[1], y[1])
ax[1].plot(x[1], z[1])
ax[2].plot(z[1], y[1])
for n in [0, 1, 2]:
ax[n].scatter(0, 0, marker="*", color="k", s=100, zorder=10)
ax[0].set_xlabel(r"x [R$_*$]")
ax[0].set_ylabel(r"y [R$_*$]")
ax[1].set_xlabel(r"x [R$_*$]")
ax[1].set_ylabel(r"z [R$_*$]")
ax[2].set_xlabel(r"z [R$_*$]")
ax[2].set_ylabel(r"y [R$_*$]");
We can also animate the orbit. We’ll make the planet a little bigger for this visualization:
[21]:
planet.r = 0.33
system.show(t=np.linspace(0, 1, 50), window_pad=4, figsize=(8, 8))
Note
A keen eye might note that the planet’s axis of rotation points up, even though the orbital plane is inclined
(because planet.Omega = 30
). If you want the planet’s axis of rotation to be parallel to its orbital axis,
you need to explicitly tell that to starry
, since by default the axis of the map points up on the sky.
To do this, set the map’s obliquity equal to the orbital obliquity: planet.map.obl = 30
. See the
tutorial on orbital orientation for more information.
Comparison to batman
¶
One last thing we can do is compare a simple transit calculation to what we’d get with the batman
code (Kreidberg 2015), a widely used and well-tested light curve tool.
First, let’s define all the system parameters:
[22]:
u1 = 0.4 # Stellar linear limb darkening coefficient
u2 = 0.26 # Stellar quadratic limb darkening coefficient
rplanet = 0.1 # Planet radius in units of stellar radius
inc = 89.95 # Planet orbital inclination
per = 50 # Planet orbital period in days
mstar = 1 # Stellar mass in Msun
rstar = 1 # Stellar radius in Rsun
a = (per ** 2 * starry._constants.G_grav * mstar / (4 * np.pi ** 2)) ** (
1.0 / 3.0
) # semi-major axis in Rsun
We’ll evaluate the light curve on the following time grid:
[23]:
npts = 500
time = np.linspace(-0.3, 0.3, npts)
Let’s evaluate the starry
light curve for this system:
[24]:
# Instantiate the star
star = starry.Primary(starry.Map(udeg=2))
star.map[1] = u1
star.map[2] = u2
# Instantiate the planet
planet = starry.kepler.Secondary(starry.Map(amp=0), m=0, porb=per, inc=inc, r=rplanet)
# Instantiate the system
system = starry.System(star, planet)
# Compute and store the light curve
flux_starry = system.flux(time)
And now the batman
light curve:
[25]:
import batman
params = batman.TransitParams()
params.limb_dark = "quadratic"
params.u = [u1, u2]
params.t0 = 0.0
params.ecc = 0.0
params.w = 90.0
params.rp = rplanet
params.a = a
params.per = per
params.inc = inc
m = batman.TransitModel(params, time)
flux_batman = m.light_curve(params)
Let’s plot the two light curves:
[26]:
plt.plot(time, flux_starry, label="starry", lw=3)
plt.plot(time, flux_batman, "--", label="batman", lw=3)
plt.xlabel("time [days]", fontsize=16)
plt.ylabel("stellar flux", fontsize=16)
plt.legend();
Here is the difference between the two models:
[27]:
plt.plot(time, flux_starry - flux_batman)
plt.xlabel("time [days]")
plt.ylabel("residuals");
It’s on the order of a few parts per billion, which is quite small. The oscillations are due to the fact that batman
uses Hasting’s approximation to compute the elliptic integrals, which is slightly faster but leads to small errors. In practice, however, the two models are equivalent for exoplanet transit modeling.

Jonas Löwgren, Erik Stolterman
Stolterman seems to be at the intersection of Interaction Design and Participatory design, co-publishing for example with Fallman.
"For several decades, the field of design methodology has addressed design processes, epistemological considerations, and work practices in the design disciplines [2, 10, 11, 13]. There are good reasons for considering the development of software as a design discipline [7, 14]."
"our purpose here is to argue that software design could benefit from other, more traditional design disciplines"

Review Wizard Status Report for January 2006
News
Happy New Year! Here are some statistics regarding Boost Library reviews in 2005:
- 12 Libraries were reviewed
- 8 Libraries were accepted
- 1 Library (Function Types) was accepted pending a mini-review
- 2 Libraries were rejected
- 1 Library has yet to receive a final verdict (ASIO)
Policy Pointer has been removed from the review queue because the author has stated that it is not quite ready.
We need review managers. Please take a look at the list of libraries in need of managers and check out their descriptions. If you can serve as review manager for any of them, send one of us an email.
- Note:
- If you have any suggestions about how we could improve the Review Wizard's status report, please email "reportbase at gmail dot com" and "garcia at cs dot indiana dot edu".
Review Managers Needed
There are a few libraries in the review queue in need of review managers. If you would like to volunteer to be a review manager, please contact Ron or Tom.
The following libraries still require review managers:
- Fusion
- Shmem
- Pimpl Pointer
- Type Traits (modification)
- Function Types

Fixed Strings
| Author: | Reece Dunn |
|---|---|
| Review Manager: | Harmut Kaiser |
| Download: | Boost Sandbox (http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/) under fixed_string |
| Description: | The fixed string library provides buffer overrun protection for static sized strings (char s[ n ]). It provides a C-style string interface for compatibility with C code (for example, porting a C program to C++). There is also a std::string-style interface using a class based on flex_string by Andre Alexandrescu with a few limitations due to the non-resizable nature of the class. |
Intrusive Containers
| Author: | Olaf Krzikalla |
|---|---|
| Review Manager: | to be determined |
| Download: | http://people.freenet.de/turtle++/intrusive.zip |
| Description: | While intrusive containers were and are widely used in C, they became more and more forgotten in the C++-world due to the presence of the standard containers, which don't support intrusive techniques. Boost.Intrusive not only reintroduces this technique to C++, but also encapsulates the implementation in STL-like interfaces. Hence anyone familiar with standard containers can use intrusive containers with ease. |

Boost Sandbox Vault -> Memory (http://boost-sandbox.sourceforge.net/vault/index.php?direction=0&order=&directory=Memory) http://ice.prohosting.com/newfunk/boost/libs/shmem/doc/html/index.html |
| Description: |
Shmem offers tools to simplify shared memory usage in applications. These include shared memory creation/destruction and synchronization objects. It also implements dynamic allocation of portions of a shared memory segment and an easy way to construct C++ objects in shared memory. Apart from this, Shmem implements a wide range of STL-like containers and allocators that can be safely placed in shared memory, helpful to implement complex shared memory data-bases and other efficient inter-process communications. |

http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/fusion_v2/ http://spirit.sourceforge.net/dl_more/fusion_v2.zip |
| Description: |
Fusion is a library of heterogenous containers and views and algorithms. A set of heterogenous containers (vector, list, set and map) is provided out of the box along with view classes that present various composable views over the data. The containers and views follow a common sequence concept with an underlying iterator concept that binds it all together, suitably making the algorithms fully generic over all sequence types. The architecture is somewhat modeled after MPL which in turn is modeled after STL. It is code-named "fusion" because the library is the "fusion" of compile time metaprogramming with runtime programming. |
Pimpl Pointer
| Author: | Asger Mangaard |
|---|---|
| Review Manager: | to be determined |
| Download: | Boost Sandbox (http://boost-consulting.com/vault/) under pimpl_ptr. |
| Description: | The pimpl idiom is widely used to reduce compile times and disable code coupling. It does so by moving private parts of a class from the .hpp file to the .cpp file. However, it's implementation can be tricky, and with many pitfalls (especially regarding memory management). The pimpl_ptr library is a single header file, implementing a special policy based smart pointer to greately ease the implementation of the pimpl idiom. |

| Description: |
Proposal to add promote, integral_promotion and floating_point_promotion class templates to type_traits library. Alexander tried it on different compilers with various success: GNU/Linux (gentoo-hardened): gcc 3.3 and 3.4, Intel 7, 8 and 9 Windows: VC7 free compiler Sparc Solaris: Sun C++ 5.3 and 5.7 See comments at the beginning of promote_enum_test.cpp for what is broken. http://cpp-experiment.sourceforge.net/promote-20050917/libs/type_traits/test/promote_enum_test.cpp Alexander requests a fast-track review. |
