Forgotten names and faces from the old Barne Barton
We look back on the days when the population of the north west Plymouth estate was more than merely a handful

Residents in Barne Barton fear for the future of their homes
It's hard to believe now - but old Barne Barton and its famous multi-coloured rows of post-war apartments were once home to a thriving community.
There's sadly not a lot of life left in the deepest pockets of the estate now as it braces itself for massive regeneration.
But that doesn't stop the people who lived there for years still looking back fondly on all the good times.
Rare pictures of fetes, carnivals, music and skate festivals and special school outings from some 20 years ago bring back wonderful memories of the old estate on the fringes of Plymouth.
Nostalgia is a lovely little thing. Which is why we've rustled up a special gallery of photos celebrating the very best moments of life in Barne Barton.

Preparation time
overnight
Cooking time
30 mins to 1 hour
Serves
Serves 4
This pork is marinated for three days for a wonderful spiced flavor, then cooked quickly in a pressure cooker.
For the pork loin, mix together the salt, orange zest, juniper, cinnamon, Jamaican allspice and a pinch of sugar. Rub this all over the pork loin. Wrap tightly in clingfilm and leave to marinate in the fridge for three days.
For the spicy cabbage, when you are ready to cook, mix the 30g/1oz of salt with the sliced cabbage and set aside for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the pork in a pressure cooker with the diced parsnip and stock and cook for 25 minutes.
Remove the pork from the cooker. Allow it to rest for five minutes then sprinkle with icing sugar and glaze with a blow torch.
To make the sauce, pour off the excess cooking juices from the pork into a small pan, add a little more stock and bring to the boil, thicken lightly with fecule (potato starch) and pass through a fine sieve. Add the diced black pudding. Reserve.
Remove the parsnips and crush with a fork, add a knob of butter and a few drops of cream. Mix in the parsley and reserve.
Cook the asparagus spears in boiling water with a pinch of salt and sugar added.
To cook the spicy cabbage, wash the cabbage thoroughly and dry well.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, gently fry the bacon, add the roast garlic then the cabbage, rice vinegar and cumin. Mix well and season to taste with salt.
Stir well and cook for two minutes, or until the cabbage is tender. Check the seasoning again and reserve.
To serve, place the spicy cabbage in the center of the plate. Carve the pork into two slices per portion and place on top. Place the crushed parsnip to the right and garnish with asparagus. Spoon on the gravy and black pudding. Garnish with the pork rind and serve.


Rocketeer Movie Preview A film preview by Jeff Meyer Copyright 1988 Jeff Meyer
When we entered the San Diego Con Thursday, I noticed a hastily-scrawled note on the events chalkboard discussing the "Rocketeer Movie." I was intrigued by this, since I had heard nothing about any adaptation of Dave Stevens' characters (a wayward young pilot in the late 1930s who unwittingly gains a jet-pack that allows him to fly, for those of you who don't read rec.arts.comics) for film. At first I thought it might be animated, which was slightly amusing since Stevens (whose art in THE ROCKETEER has gained him a great deal of renown) is not known to be the most speedy of pencilers. Anyway, Kathy Li and I stopped by and took a look; Stevens and two of the screenwriters for the proposed film were there to talk about it.
Basically it would be a live-action period adventure picture, set very closely to the plot of the Rocketeer graphic novel, though not exactly adapting it. It has (after being taken around to several studios over the last two years) almost been picked up by Disney; they're looking for something in the "Indiana Jones" area, and feel that the Rocketeer could be just as popular (and have just as many popular sequels -- so do I, if they can get people to really capture the period, as Stevens does in his work). "They want to market this as much as possible -- a Rocketeer ride at DisneyLand." Disney is "about the fattest company around" (i.e. they're making good profits via Touchstone and Buena Vista), so they can supply the needed budget. They say a director, the fellow who did HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS ("Bill Geer"? -- my tape recorder didn't do so well in this session) has been picked, and it's close to being finalized. It needs to be fairly big-budget, since it's a period piece, they want the old airplanes (they want the "Gee Bee" very badly -- Dave knows where there's one in Springfield, IL) for the flying sequences, and of course a Flying Man with a Rocket On His Back (the last flying sequence is *inside* a building -- neat idea). They really want it to look like Superman in the old Fleisher cartoons -- "like he has velocity and mass, not like the old Commander Cody and the Rangers of the Stratosphere." As they point out, this film *is* about flying more than anything else, and so this will have to be a very strong point.
The two screenwriters are apparently working very closely with Stevens -- in fact, they're scripting the next two issues of THE ROCKETEER ADVENTURE MAGAZINE (with Cliff working for The Shadow in New York). It sounds as if the three of them have been working together to get the picture made, and Stevens feels that whatever makes THE ROCKETEER so popular in comics will be carried over to the picture (at least by the script). Someone asked if the in-joke in the comic about the jet-pack's creator (it's "revealed" to be Howard Hughes, but Hughes and his assistants are certainly meant to be Doc Savage and his aides) will simply be made to be Hughes (let's face it, most moviegoers wouldn't get the joke). J. Edgar Hoover is chasing Cliff around for the jet-pack, and the villain is a quasi-Errol Flynn character that plays off the rumors that Flynn was a Nazi (much like Chaykin did in the BLACKHAWK series). The sequence with Cliff rescuing the old rummy in the plane with the jet-pack has been taken straight out of the movie.
Speaking of what makes THE ROCKETEER so popular: Betty (Cliff's pin-up girl obsession that Stevens has rendered so memorably). She'll be an voluptuous, aspiring actress who doesn't act very well -- "Well, it won't be Merryl Streep." They'd like Matthew Modine to play Cliff, but the director apparently likes Bruce Campbell (sp?) who was in EVIL DEAD II. There's also a character in the movie that they'll be introducing in the comix series very soon.
One interesting side story about all of this: Warren Beatty is starring, producing and possibly directing as -- get this -- Dick Tracy. Whoever's hired him was talking a budget of $25 million, but Beatty is promised to get $11 million out of the deal. Be nice to see him go after Bonnie and Clyde... :-)

Reinforcement Learning: Q-Learning
10 Dec 2017Introduction
Reinforcement learning is computational approach to understand and automate goal-directed learning and decision making. It is a kind of artificial intelligence which is based on simpler and fewer general principles compared to systems based on vast amounts of domain knowledge. The main idea of reinforcement learning is to learn from interaction, without having to rely on exemplary supervision or complete models of the environment.
In previous blog posts, I have layed the foundation for the theory behind reinforcement learning. In this post we will see how this theory can be used to construct actual algorithms that learn by iteratively update themselves with data from experience.
Temporal difference learning
Undoubtedly the most novel idea of reinforcement learning is that of temporal differencing (TD). TD learning is a combination of Monte Carlo methods and dynamic programming (DP). Just like Monte Carlo, TD methods can learn directly from raw experience without a model describing the dynamics of environment. And just like DP, TD methods update estimates based in part on other learned estimates, without waiting for a final outcome. The capabilities of TD methods have not yet been fully explored. Sutton and Barto describe their potential as:
The core idea of TD methods is that one adjusts estimates to match other, more accurate, estimates. The reason this works is because the target estimates are produced further into the future, when more information is available. TD methods learn from incomplete episodes (so that continuing tasks also can be dealt with) by substituting the remainder of the return with an estimate. This is known as bootstrapping and allows for learning online after each time step. Bootstrapping allows to learn faster by exploiting the Markov property, which is ignored by Monte Carlo methods.
TD methods are similar to Monte Carlo in that learning takes place by sampling the environment according to some policy. But Monte Carlo methods require to complete a whole episode before learning happens. Monte Carlo methods only take information from the ground truth and are therefore unbiased. However, because they update the whole episode after the which contain much uncertainty, they are high variance. On the other hand, TD methods are biased since they do not use the ground truth for learning (they use estimates instead), but have lower variance because they update over a shorter time span. This trade-off is know as the Bias–variance tradeoff .
Exploration-exploitation dilemma
How many restaurants in a new city should you explore before starting to exploit your favourite ones? This is exactly what the Exploration-exploitation dilemma is about, and in reinforcement learning it is called multi-armed bandit problem. Even if you find that one restaurant does not serve any tasty food. How can you know for sure that it was not because you picked the wrong dish or the chef had a bad day. Furthermore, if you are staying in the city for a long while, you might want to keep looking longer for that
When using a greedy policy that, unlucky sampling in the beginning might indicate that best expected reward of the best action is less than the expected reward from a suboptimal action. The suboptimal action will continue to get chosen, leaving the true optimal action starved of data and its superiority never discovered.
Several ad-hoc strategies have been developed as remedies for the Exploration-exploitation dilemma. One naive way that have proven to be efficient in practice is the \( \epsilon \)-greedy policy. An \( \epsilon \)-greedy policy takes a random action with the probability \( \epsilon \in [0,1] \). It is clear that in stationary environments the optimal policy does not include an element of randomness, thus \( \epsilon \) should slowly be decreased. Another, maybe more sensible way is Boltzmann exploration. Boltzmann exploration tries to remedy the fact that a non-greedy action is no more likely to try a promising alternative than a clearly hopeless alternative. This is done by choosing actions based on their softmax probability according to their state-action value as
\begin{equation} \pi(a|s) = \frac{\exp{ \big[ Q(a,s)/T \big] }}{\sum_{a’ \in A} \exp{ \big[ Q(s,a)/T \big] }}. \end{equation}
The parameter \( T \) is the temperature, which should be decreased over time to promote more promising actions and by doing so speed up convergence.
Q-Learning
The most popular method method in reinforcement learning is Q-learning. This method is built on TD learning and provides a framework for learning model-free from delayed reinforcement. The main idea of Q-learning is to iteratively approximate the \( Q_{\ast}(s,a) \) using the Bellman optimality equation. The method is online since it updates the best estimate of the Q-value as soon new experience is collected and work independently of the policy being followed. The iterative updating scheme for the Q-value is
$$ \begin{align} Q(s,a) &= Q(s,a) + \alpha \Big(r + \gamma \max_{a'} Q(s',a') - Q(s,a) \Big) \\ &= (1-\alpha) Q(s,a) + \alpha \Big(r + \gamma \max_{a'} Q(s',a') \Big) \end{align} $$
where \( \alpha \in [0,1] \) is a learning parameter that signifies how fast learning should be. Choosing \( \alpha \) too big however, will lead to divergence. If the state-action space is discrete (or can be discretized) then the state-action value function can be represented by a look-up table. The equation above represents to different ways of looking at the update. In the first equality, the Q-value is updated in the direction of the error in the RHS of the Bellman optimality equation. In the second equality, the Q-value is updated by using applying fixed-point iteration.
In a stationary environment and a small enough \(( \alpha \)), the Q-learning update is guaranteed to converge \( Q(s,a) \rightarrow Q_{\ast}(s,a) \) if all state-action pairs continue to be updated. In order to make sure that all state are explored, an \( \epsilon \)-greedy behaviour policy is usually applied. However, our target policy is the optimal policy, which is a greedy policy. For this reason, Q-learning is an off-policy learning algorithm.
Function approximation
As mentioned, the state-action value function \( Q(s,a) \) can be represented by a look-up table. However, tables are noisy and take long time to learn for large state-action spaces. In fact, because of the curse of dimensionality learning with look-up table is impractical for most real applications. Furthermore, state-action pairs that are close to each other are usually similar. For reason, it is close at hand to think that function approximizers could find these generalizations. One type of such function approximizers that have proven capable are neural networks. When replacing the look-up table with a neural network, the update is done by minimizing the loss function
\begin{equation} L(\boldsymbol{w}) = \big( r + \gamma \max_{a’} Q(s’,a’,\boldsymbol{w}) - Q(s,a,\boldsymbol{w}) \big)^2 \end{equation}
by updating the weights \( \boldsymbol{w} \) of the neural network.

Minimalistic client to access Blizzards API.
You can install from GitHub with:
You need to create a developer account at Blizzard’s dev portal. Once you’ve created an account, a client needs to be made. Creating a client will produce a Client ID and Client Secret. With these credentials you can run:
After this, you’re all set.
If you want to avoid using blizz_auth()
, you can obtain the Client ID, Secret, and Token by following the docs. Then edit the .Renviron
file manually and supply the credentials like so:
Note: Blizzard’s authentication tokens expire after 24 hours. To avoid having to refresh the token everyday, blizz
runs the following command everytime the library is loaded:
This will remove the expired token from your .Renviron
and add the fresh token to it. More info on how to get started can be found in this vignette.
Use the blizz()
function to access all API endpoints. Note that the leading slash must be included as well:

Being an out-state-student to a new school can be very stressful when you don’t know the Rochester area very well. Out-of-state students and especially international students might have a hard time finding housing, transportation, and getting used to the area. Organizations exist at RIT to assist these students with these problems but they might have a tough time reaching all of the students that may need their help.
We want to make it easier for existing RIT students who wish to help new students to do so. Our project will focus on building a bridge between these two groups of students so that the new students can be assisted and have their questions answered even before classes start. Our main demographic focus will be on international and transfer students who are living off campus but the project could also assist freshmen living in dorms as well.
The main focus of the website itself will be to help students find housing in the area and issues that relate to that such as transportation from a certain area, stores in a certain area etc. Through our interviews we want to see if there are more important issues that students would like help finding out about.
We do not have a customer at this time but would be interested in talking to an RIT organization that might find this product useful.

XP of Dev
Hi there, you’ve found my posts on the experience of development.
The idea is that these might one day turn into a pamphlet or a book. Hence the structure evident in the titles below.
Why am I doing this? We developers don’t think enough about what it feels like to write code. I believe if we were exposed to this topic more it would change how we approach the act of development, it would change how we learn, it would change how we produce and consume code, it would change how we think about our tool chains, and it would change how we collaborate with others.
It would, in short, change how we went about development.
A quick note on reading-order. You can skip the Preface if you don’t care how this came about. It will however help to read both parts of the Introduction to understand how everything which follows is framed. After that, all the chapters ought to be largely standalone, or cross-linked as appropriate.

GANG RELATED
A Film Review by James Berardinelli
RATING (0 TO 10): 7.0 Alternative Scale: *** out of ****
United States, 1997 U.S. Release Date: 10/8/97 (wide) Running Length: 1:50 MPAA Classification: R (Profanity, violence, nudity) Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Cast: James Belushi, Tupac Shakur, Wendy Crewson, Lela Rochon, Dennis Quaid, James Earl Jones, David Paymer, Gary Cole Director: Jim Kauf Producers: Brad Krevoy, Steven Stabler, John Bertolli Screenplay: Jim Kauf Cinematography: Brian H. Reynolds Music: Mickey Hart U.S. Distributor: Orion Pictures
GANG RELATED will forever be known as Tupac Shakur's last film. In fact, that's how it's being marketed. As final features go, this isn't a bad one (for the ultimate in ignominious send-offs, see Donald Pleasance's curtain call in HALLOWEEN 6), and Shakur is in top form. The movie is a generally well-written yarn about police corruption that gets out of hand. For 90% of its 110 minute running length, GANG RELATED is taut, well-paced, and clever. It's too bad that the conclusion, despite retaining a sense of unpredictability, is a let- down. Characters act irrationally to facilitate a few more ironic twists of plot.
On the whole, however, GANG RELATED is an enjoyable, if extremely profane, example of movie-making. The script, from writer/director Jim Kauf (who previously penned the screenplay for both STAKEOUT movies, and last directed with 1989's DISORGANIZED CRIME) mixes action, tension, and low-key comedy. Our heroes (who are actually anti-heroes) are Davinci (James Belushi) and Rodriguez (Tupac Shakur), a pair of bent cops who have just been caught in the Murphy's Law corner of the Twilight Zone. What at first seems like a relatively straightforward caper turns into a nightmare as circumstances conspire to plunge them into a tangled web of bad breaks and worse luck.
Their plan is seemingly simple: sell cocaine taken from the police evidence room to a drug dealer, kill him using a gun also lifted from the evidence room, then replace the gun and coke before anyone is the wiser. The results: an apparent gang related slaying of human refuse, plus Davinci and Rodriguez get to pocket the profits of their illicit drug sale. With the help of Davinci's stripper girlfriend, Cynthia (WAITING TO EXHALE's Lela Rochon), the pair has successfully pulled this con nine times. Ten isn't their lucky number. On this occasion, their victim is an undercover DEA agent, and they're put in the uncomfortable position of having to investigate a murder they committed. And that's before things start to go really wrong…
While GANG RELATED's script isn't a masterpiece, the situation it postulates is suitably delicious. The film probably contains enough action to qualify as a thriller, but it's really more of a black comedy. Kauf has fun toying with his characters and their situations, constantly one-upping himself in the "whatever can go wrong, will go wrong" department. I won't give away any specifics beyond the initial setup, because that would spoil the primary entertainment value of the movie. Sadly, however, Kauf is at a loss when it comes to wrapping things up, and the anticlimactic, routine finale lacks the panache evident throughout most of the running time. The final scene is in keeping with the rest of the film, but the events leading up to it are dubious at best. But, because only a few minutes are so out of synch, minimal damage was done to my appreciation of the movie as a whole.
It's no surprise that Tupac Shakur is good in his role as a bad cop with a conscience. In films like POETIC JUSTICE and, more recently, GRIDLOCK'D, Shakur has shown himself to be a talented actor, and it goes without saying that his untimely death has robbed the motion picture community of a promising star. The actor who really surprised me here was James Belushi, who is very good as Davinci, the cynical mastermind behind the kill-the-drug-dealer-and-get-the-money scheme. I've never been terribly impressed by Belushi's range, but his performance here is relentlessly on-target. The supporting players are also good, with solid work turned in by Lela Rochon, James Earl Jones (as a high-priced lawyer), Wendy Crewson (as the prosecutor who is unpleasantly surprised by disappearing witnesses and evidence), and Dennis Quaid (as a homeless man who plays a pivotal role in the proceedings).
Kauf, whose STAKEOUT was a lighter blend of the same kind of elements at work here, knows just how to play the material to keep it enjoyable. That's not an easy task, considering that the main characters are pretty reprehensible and the basic plotline is about covering up the accidental murder of a cop. Nevertheless, in part because of a series of good performances and in part because Kauf approaches things with confidence, the results are positive. GANG RELATED may not be PULP FICTION, but it's not a bad foray into tangential territory.

Kangana Ranaut goes retro with a twist
Kangana Ranaut's fashion understanding in impressive. Take a look at what she wore recently.
by Lifestyle DeskActor Kangana Ranaut is known to be an ‘experimentalist’. From picking unique movie scripts to fashion, she is seen trying new things and that’s what makes her stand apart. Undoubtedly, she has a great sense of style and has been in the news for a while now, due to her upcoming film Thalaivi, where she will be seen stepping into the shoes of the late politician J. Jayalalithaa.
She was seen in a different mode at a launch event in Mumbai’s Bandra recently, where she gave us all the ‘Pretty Woman’ feels. Take a look at how she stepped out looking like a classic Englishwoman.
 Styled by celebrity stylist Ami Patel, she completed her look with a classy white scarf tied in a neat manner around her neck, along with white peep-toe stilettos by Luxe Project. The cute little bag from Coach cannot be missed.
Her makeup was simple, with winged eyeliner, lightly contoured cheeks and a hint of pink on her lips. Her blow-dried hair was tied in a neat ponytail.
Recently, she gave us major fashion goals when she was clad in a Banarasi sari for her brother’s wedding.
Styled again by Ami Patel, the pale gold sari was teamed with blush pink blouse. Check out the pictures below.
The look was accessorised with a stunning choker and turquoise blue and yellow sapphire stones. It was rounded out with hair styled in soft waves, shimmery golden eyeshadow on the crease of her eyelids and bright glossy red lipstick.
Whether it is the red carpet or airport, the actor is almost always spotted wearing a sari and no one quite pulls it off like her.
Let us know what do you think about her looks.

This is an Ensemble Method. You can learn more about other ensemble methods bagging and stacking by clicking the links!
The idea behind boosting is that models should be able to learn form one another. If you have
read about bagging (if not click the first link above), you know that each model in the bagging method
learns on different data, but at the same time. They are trained in parallel.
Boosting works sequentially, that is, one after the other. Each iteration they learn from the prevoius model
by identifying what that model did wrong, and adjusting its metrics to prioritize getting right the last models mistakes.
This is done by doing something called re-weighting, which is adjusting the importance of data points
according to what should be in focus, and what should not.
The image above illustrates how the boosting method works. You can se that some data is greyed out after the first iteration. This represents how some data is rendered "less important" for the next classification.

Fit-again Emmanuel Adjei-Sowah features for RSC Anderlecht in friendly game
Ghanaian youngster Emmanuel Adjei-Sowah was in action for Belgian giants RSC Anderlecht in a friendly encounter against Ostende on Friday.
With the Belgian Jupilar League on hold due to the international break, the Purple and White lads took the opportunity to engage in a friendly game against Ostende.
Coach Franky Vercauteren handed opportunities to some fringe players as well as players who are making a return from injury such as Ghanaian defender Emmanuel Adjei-Sowah.
The record-time Belgian champions however lost the game 3-1. Alexandru Chipciu scored an own goal before Vargas, a former RSCA player, made 2-0. Isaac Thelin narrowed the gap but Guri gave Ostend two goals ahead. At the end of the match, Roef stopped a penalty.
Adjei-Sowah was given a game time after replacing Chipciu with thirty (30) minutes left on the clock.
The 21-year-old gave a good account of himself with splendid performance.
Sowah has suffered plethora of injuries since joining from Dreams FC in 2016 but he has not given up on becoming a success at the club.


Q1. As if talking to a non-tech friend, discuss:
1.1 What a responsive site is, and why responsiveness is important.
A responsive site is a website that can respond the full range of screen sizes from. A responsive will change it's layout specifically to the screen you are viewing it on to best communicate for that screen size. Responsiveness is important to ensure consistent usability and experience across all devices. This ensures that everyone no matter what device they are using can use your website.
1.2 What mobile first design is, and why it's important.
Mobile first design is the notion of designing beginning with the smallest screen. The smallest screen has the least screen real estate and is navigated with fingers. Fingers are less precise than other interfaces, such as a mouse. Mobile first design forces you to essentialize your design and ensure that it is communicating at its most primitive form. This ensures design rigour as you move to designing on larger screens.
1.3 What frameworks are, and their pros and cons.
Frameworks - such as skeleton and bootstrap - are existing packets of CSS code. They are basic templates to assist rapid prototyping of websites. These parcels of code allow for flexible responsive sites to be built with great variety. Their advantages are that you can develop a prototype rapidly and they are also quite light from a computing perspective. Their disadvantages is they have a limited amount of customisation. They might be restrictive if you are doing something more bespoke. You are also only learning the framework - and not the ability to form one yourself.
1.4 What a wireframe is and why we use it.
A wireframe is a rapid sketch of the content that will be on your webpage. This content might be title, images, body copy etc. The wireframe assists you in breaking down this content to convert it to semantic html tags. You can use these tags to write your html content. It is also a helpful design prototype that you can begin to asses the user experience, functionality and aesthetic of your webpage. Below are a set of wireframes I developed for this project.
Wireframe Index Mobile
Wireframe Index Desktop
Wireframe Blog Mobile
Wireframe Blog Desktop
1.5 The aspects of your wireframes you found difficult to implement, and why.
I found skeleton CSS grids and the laying out of HTML in combination with the CSS quite difficult. I Would like to understand better wireframing design. My wireframes look quite basic. I felt I spent quite a lot of time repetitively pushing things to github - could be better automated? I still don’t think that I am 100% on HTML/CSS layouting but I did get to something similar to the aesthetic I was after.


The Logarithmic property determines if an axis is logarithmic, and the logarithmic base is defined by the LogarithmBase property. Note that this is only applicable to value axes, which are used to plot data values.

An experimental language to improve how we work with asynchronous systems in JavaScript. It runs on Node.js and in browsers.
Its core is a modified R5RS Scheme. It has tail-recursion and syntax-rules macros, and uses the core library from Heist. Data types are booleans #t/#f, numbers, symbols, strings, lists (a b c) and vectors #(a b c). Quasiquoting with '/`/,/,@ is supported.
Instead of call/cc, Fargo supports Ruby-style fibers for pausing and resuming async work. View source for an example using set-timeout. You can find out more over on GitHub.

Registering a Oracle iPlanet Web Server
See Also
In this version of the IDE, the plugin for the Oracle iPlanet Web Server is for Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0. Before you can start developing and deploying applications to a server, you must register your server with the IDE.
You can have multiple instances of the Oracle iPlanet Web Server registered with the IDE, but you must first specify the local folder that contains the local installation of the Oracle iPlanet Web Server. You only need to specify the location of the local installation once.
To register an instance of a Oracle iPlanet Web Server:
- Choose Tools > Server Manager, and in the Server Manager, click Add Server.
- Alternatively, right-click the Servers node in the Runtime window and choose Add Server from the contextual menu.
The Add Server Instance wizard starts.
- In the Choose Server page, do the following:
- From the Server drop-down list, select Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0.
- In the Name field, type a name for the server instance.
This name is used to identify the server in the IDE.
- Click Next.
The Server Location and Configuration page opens.
- In the Installation Directory field, use the Browse button to navigate to and select the Oracle iPlanet Web Server 7.0 installation directory.
- If you are registering a remote server, select the Remote Server checkbox and in the Admin Host field, type the host name for the server.
- In the Admin Port field, type the port number for the server.
- If the port is not an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) port, clear the SSL Port checkbox.
- In the Username and Password fields, type the user name and password for the server.
- Click Finish.
- If you started the Add Server Instance wizard from the Server Manager, click Close in the Server Manager dialog box.
The IDE displays a server node for your application server in the Runtime window under the Servers node.

IPv4 comprises 4, 8-bit numbers, meaning the total of 32 bits so it can hold 2^32 or about 4.3 billion addresses. That shouldn't be enough for the users all around the world. As expected, from 2011 continents started running out of IP addresses. First to run out was asia. europe and America followed in the next couple of years. but still IPv6 only accounts for about 5% of google searches. why? Because NAT came out and solved the issue while even providing some security improvements.

Application Maker was created from a script that expands the capability of a typical Google Form to make it more like a fully-fledged application. This includes the ability to create a document from a template and email that link, along with a completion message, to the person who completed the form. In addition, emails can be sent to other recipients and the application includes other functions and customizations.
At a minimum, you should write a title for your new document and place values in your document template on the Template Headers page, and choose a document template and target folder using the Template Picker and Folder Picker.
Application Maker is based on and is an expanded form of the Google Form Notifications sample add-on. While it's an expanded form of the original, it has similar limitations.
The number of notifications this add-on produces are limited by the owner's available email quota; it will not send email notifications if the owner's daily email quota has been exceeded. Collaborators using this add-on on the same form will be able to adjust the notification settings, but will not be able to disable the notification triggers set by other collaborators.

Xiaomi Redmi 8 and Redmi 8A Forums are now open
by Pranob MehrotraWhile Xiaomi does offer flagship smartphones in a few markets, its entry-level and mid-range devices are what it’s known for. In fact, the company’s Redmi brand is so popular that it now even offers affordable flagships like the Redmi K20 Pro. Recently, the company launched the Redmi 8 and Redmi 8A in the budget-segment, offering great hardware specifications for the price. In order to provide users with a common platform for discussions related to these devices, we’ve now opened forums for the Redmi 8 and Redmi 8A.
Redmi 8
The Redmi 8 was launched in India early last month at a price of ₹7,999. The device features a 6.22-inch HD+ LCD display with a waterdrop notch that houses the 8MP front-facing camera. On the back, you get a dual-camera setup with a 12MP primary lens and a 2MP lens for depth perception. The smartphone is powered by a Snapdragon 439 chip, coupled with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. It’s backed by a massive 5,000mAh battery with 18-watt fast charging support over USB Type-C.
Redmi 8A
The Redmi 8A, on the other hand, was launched earlier this year in September and offers similar specifications as the Redmi 8. It also has a 6.22-inch HD+ LCD display with a waterdrop notch on the front that houses the 8MP selfie shooter. On the back, however, it features a single 12MP f/1.8 camera. The Snapdragon 439 chip can also be found on this device, with up to 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Powering the device is a 5,000mAh battery which also has 18-watt fast charging support over USB Type-C, but you only get a 10-watt charger in the box.


A dictionary in Swift is a list of key-value pairs separated by colons and surrounded by square brackets such as [key: value]
. Values returned from a dictionary are optional because the key may not exist in the dictionary.
// A dictionary literal
let d = ["one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3]
// An empty dictionary
var e: [String: Int] = [:]
// Get a value from a dictionary
var fruits = ["apples": 1, "oranges": 3]
print(fruits["oranges"])
// Prints an optional 3
// Add an item to a dictionary
fruits["berries": 8]
print(fruits)
// Prints a dictionary containing ["apples": 1, "oranges": 3, "berries": 8]

foo.should.equal('bar') IS NOT HELPFUL.
A unit test is an automated piece of code that invokes a unit of work in the system and then checks a single assumption about the behavior of that unit of work. A unit of work is a single logical functional use case in the system that can be invoked by some public interface (in most cases).
Example: testing that a transformer function works as expected.
End-to-end testing involves ensuring that that integrated components of an application function as expected.
Example: testing that a log in process works as expected.
A simulated object that mimics the behavior of real objects in a controlled way. It's fake and simply exists to help.

The TDS WMS implementation uses the ncWMS software developed by Jon Blower (Reading E-Science Center at the University of Reading).
It supports OGC Web Map Service (WMS) versions 1.3.0 and 1.1.1.
By default the WMS service is disabled in the TDS. It can be enabled for locally
served datasets by including the following in the threddsConfig.xml
file:
<WMS> <allow>true</allow> </WMS>
Once WMS is enabled, datasets can be configured to have a WMS access method in the TDS catalog configuration files similar to how other services are configured. The service element's serviceType and base attribute values must be as follows:
<service name="wms" serviceType="WMS" base="/thredds/wms/" />
The dataset to be served must reference this service (or a containing compound service) by the service name:
<dataset ID="sample" name="Sample Data" urlPath="sample.nc"> <serviceName>wms</serviceName> </dataset>
WMS clients may not be able to directly use the THREDDS catalogs to find the WMS services but the catalogs are useful for users to browse and for separate search services (e.g., OGC catalog services).
Additional WMS configuration options can be set in the
threddsConfig.xml
file. More details on these options are
available here.
Further WMS configuration properties are set in the wmsConfig.xml
file. These
properties are mainly related with styling of WMS images. Similar to the threddsConfig.xml
file, the WMS configuration file (wmsConfig.xml
) is found in the
${tomcat_home}/content/thredds
directory.
If you are installing a new TDS, you should find a default wmsConfig.xml
file (along
with other configuration files) in your content/thredds
directory after you first
deploy the TDS. If you are upgrading from a TDS version before version 4.2.20100615.*
,
you will have to copy the default file from
${tomcat_home}/webapps/thredds/WEB-INF/altContent/startup/wmsConfig.xml
.
The file allows the system administrator to configure default style information at a number of levels:
Each level of configuration in the list above overrides the previous ones. The sections below give examples of each level of configuration.
The config file allows the following properties to be configured:
| Property key | Syntax/possible values | Level | Meaning |
| allowFeatureInfo | true or false | Global or per-dataset | Whether or not the GetFeatureInfo operation is allowed for a dataset* |
| defaultColorScaleRange | min max (two floating-point numbers, separated by a space) | Global, per-standard name or per-variable | A sensible value range, to be applied to the bottom and top of the colour scale. Does not have to be precise. |
| defaultPaletteName | palette name | Global, per-standard name or per-variable | The name of the default palette to be used |
| defaultNumColorBands | integer between 5 and 254 inclusive | Global, per-standard name or per-variable | The number of individual colours to use by default in creating images |
| logScaling | true or false | Global, per-standard name or per-variable | Whether to use logarithmic or linear spacing of values along the colour scale. Logarithmic spacing is appropriate for variables whose values span several orders of magnitude, and are always greater than zero |
*The allowFeatureInfo property is almost always enabled (i.e. set "true"). It can be disabled in rare cases in which the sysadmin does not wish to expose data values through this operation.
Note that these quantities must always be defined in the config file in this order, otherwise validation will fail. (It is OK to omit quantities, except in the global defaults section.)
The simplest legal config file contains only global defaults. The example below omits the DTD declaration for brevity: please do not omit this in your wmsConfig.xml file, or the automatic validation will not work:
<wmsConfig> <global> <defaults> <allowFeatureInfo>true</allowFeatureInfo> <defaultColorScaleRange>-50 50</defaultColorScaleRange> <defaultPaletteName>rainbow</defaultPaletteName> <defaultNumColorBands>254</defaultNumColorBands> <logScaling>false</logScaling> </defaults> </global> </wmsConfig>
Most of these defaults will be acceptable for most datasets on your server. However, the defaultColorScaleRange will not be appropriate for many of the variables you are serving. Note that all five quantities must be defined in this section.
One way to define more sensible defaults is to override the global default settings for all variables with certain CF standard names (see �here) for a current list of standard names. For example, the file below sets a colour scale range for all variables with the standard name of sea_water_temperature and defines that chlorophyll measurements should be displayed with a logarithmic scaling.
<wmsConfig> <global> <defaults> ... (omitted for brevity: still mandatory in the config file) </defaults> <standardNames> <standardName name="sea_water_temperature" units="K"> <defaultColorScaleRange>268 308</defaultColorScaleRange> </standardName> <standardName name="mass_concentration_of_chlorophyll_in_sea_water" units="kg m-3"> <logScaling>true</logScaling> </standardName> </standardNames> </global> </wmsConfig>
A few things are noteworthy here:
You may specify settings for particular datasets, which override any settings in the <global> section. The only tricky part is creating a string that identifies a dataset. In THREDDS, datasets are identified by their URL path. For example, for the WMS capabilities document at:
http://myserver.com/thredds/wms/NCOF/POLCOMS/IRISH_SEA/POLCOMS-Irish-Sea_best.ncd?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities
the URL path is NCOF/POLCOMS/IRISH_SEA/POLCOMS-Irish-Sea_best.ncd. It is the part of the above URL that is unique to the dataset.
To specify that all variables in this dataset should use the occam palette, use the following config file:
<wmsConfig> <global> ... </global> <overrides> <datasetPath pathSpec="NCOF/POLCOMS/IRISH_SEA/POLCOMS-Irish-Sea_best.ncd"> <pathDefaults> <defaultPaletteName>occam</defaultPaletteName> </pathDefaults> </datasetPath> </overrides> </wmsConfig>
Note that the pathSpec also accepts wildcards. So you could also have set:
<datasetPath pathSpec="NCOF/POLCOMS/IRISH_SEA/*.ncd">
which would match all URL paths with the above pattern. If you specify a number of pathSpecs that all match the same URL path, the longest pattern is deemed to be the most specific and will be used. So, for example, in the config file below:
<wmsConfig> <global> ... </global> <overrides> <datasetPath pathSpec="NCOF/*"> <pathDefaults> <defaultPaletteName>redblue</defaultPaletteName> </pathDefaults> </datasetPath> <datasetPath pathSpec="NCOF/POLCOMS/IRISH_SEA/POLCOMS-*.ncd"> <pathDefaults> <defaultPaletteName>occam</defaultPaletteName> </pathDefaults> </datasetPath> </overrides> </wmsConfig>
The dataset with URL path NCOF/POLCOMS/IRISH_SEA/POLCOMS-Irish-Sea_best.ncd matches both pathSpecs, but the second pathSpec is longer, and so the dataset will use the occam palette by default. However, the URL path NCOF/METOFFICE/foo/bar.nc only matches the first pathSpec and will use the redblue palette.
The most specific (and most verbose) way to specify a style is to specify the style of a particular variable within a particular dataset. Variables are identified by their internal names (note: not their standard names) with a dataset. For example, the following config file overrides the global default colour scale range for a particular variable within a dataset:
<wmsConfig> <global> ... </global> <overrides> <datasetPath pathSpec="NCOF/POLCOMS/IRISH_SEA/POLCOMS-*.ncd"> <pathDefaults> ... (can still specify defaults for this dataset) </pathDefaults> <variables> <variable id="TMP"> <defaultColorScaleRange>280 290</defaultColorScaleRange> </variable> <variable id="SAL"> <defaultColorScaleRange>30 35</defaultColorScaleRange> </variable> </variables> </datasetPath> <datasetPath pathSpec="foo/bar"> ... </datasetPath> </overrides> </wmsConfig>
The number of CRS listed in the WMS GetCapabilities documents has been reduced between TDS 4.1 and 4.2. More information is available at this FAQ entry.
WMS uses a number of graphics packages. In some situations, WMS can run into an X Server bug that can cause Tomcat to crash. This can be avoided by telling the code there is no display device. You may see error messages like the following:
"java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment"
To avoid this situation,
the graphics code needs to be told that there is no graphics console available. This can be done by
setting the java.awt.headless
system property to true
which can be done
using JAVA_OPTS:
JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -Xms256m -server -Djava.awt.headless=true" export JAVA_OPT
What the option means:
java.awt.headless
system property to true. Setting this system property to true prevent graphics rendering code
from assuming that a graphics console exists. More on using the headless mode in Java SE here.
Some libraries that WMS depends on use the java.util.prefs package and there are some known issues
that can crop up with storing system preferences. This problem can be avoided by setting the java.util.prefs.systemRoot
system property to point to a directory in which the TDS
can write. The given directory must exist and must contain a directory named ".systemPrefs
"
which must be writable by the user under which Tomcat is run.
JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -Xms256m -server -Djava.util.prefs.systemRoot=$CATALINA_HOME/content/thredds/javaUtilPrefs" export JAVA_OPT
What the option means:
java.util.prefs.systemRoot
system property to the given directory. The java.util.prefs
code will use the given directory to persist the system (as opposed to user) preferences. More information on the issue can be found on the TDS FAQ page.
The TDS can also serve remote datasets with the WMS protocol if configured to do so. It
must be explicitly configured in the threddsConfig.xml
configuration file.
This is done by adding an allowRemote element to the WMS
element as follows:
<WMS> <allow>true</allow> <allowRemote>true</allowRemote> ... </WMS>
A slight extension of the WMS Dataset URL format allows the TDS to serve remote datasets. The dataset is identified by adding the parameter dataset whose value is a URL:
http://servername:8080/thredds/wms?dataset=datasetURL
The URL must be a dataset readable by the NetCDF-Java library, typically an OPeNDAP dataset on another server. It must have gridded data with identifiable coordinate systems (see above). For example, an OPeNDAP URL might be
http://las.pfeg.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/nph-dods/data/oceanwatch/nrt/gac/AG14day.nc
This can be served remotely as a WMS dataset with this URL:
http://servername:8080/thredds/wms?dataset=http://las.pfeg.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/nph-dods/data/oceanwatch/nrt/gac/AG14day.nc

Mindset: End of a work day. Already quite tired from lack of sleep, but excited to experience a new phenethylamine. Going to explore the various tools that are said to be presented while on this drug.
Setting: My girlfriend's house near a wooded area. It is a small one bedroom basement suite that is comfortably furnished. She will also accompany me with a 25mg dose as well.
9:15pm - Both of us were hungry, so we ordered in pizza and ate quite a bit. I knew this would probably delay the coming up period, but the food was a necessity.
9:30pm - We each take our 25mgs of 2C-B orally.
10:30pm - Definitely little to no effect felt. I attribute this once again to the food in our stomachs. However Iím not feeling as tired as I was before, so I take this as a sign of something at work.
11:15pm - Now nearly 2h since ingestion of the 2C-B. Iím really starting to think this material isnít going to work for me. My girlfriend also says that she feels little to no effect either. We both decide to go outside and smoke some fine hash product. About 1g of hash is smoked with normal effect, we feel pleasantly relax in our bodies, but I find that my mind is still fairly clear.
11:30pm - We sit down to watch some Family Guy, which is when I start to feel a slight body buzz growing in my chest and abdomen. This grows for a further 10mins, but is never unpleasant or overwhelming in any sense. The hash wears off very quickly, and I find myself very focused on the colors coming from the TV. If I concentrate, I can make edges shift and colors glow a little brighter.
11:50pm - At this point my girlfriend admits to feeling very cold, and I notice that I have become very sensitive to temperature as well. She has also started coughing frequently, but I assure her that this is probably an allergic reaction to the 2CB and that it would pass eventually. We get into the shower to warm up.
The warm water feels very hot, but very good. I notice the tactile effects coming on in full force. Colors are now shifting to orange and green hues and the shifting on edges is more pronounced. I feel a slight mood lift, but nothing like that of MDA or MDMA. Along with this come some erotic feelings, which are not unlike that of MDMA, but feel more raw as opposed to soft and fuzzy. My mind begins to wander onto some obscure thought patterns as I'm in the shower. I do not feel like Iím getting lost in these thoughts, as I sometimes do on LSD or psilocybin, but feel like I can slide my thoughts around to work on tasks at hand. This is when I realize the peak effects have creeped up on me without my realization. I get the feeling that an entire array of tools has been laid before me, but that I'm not being forced to use them.
12:00am - The long shower is over, and both of us are exploring the nice colorful, clean visuals in front of our eyes. I find that the visual patterning creates a grid-like sheen on everything in the room, but nothing overwhelming, like a high dose LSD trip. I've also noted that the visuals seem to be the most apparent aspect of this experience, since the other effects have to be focused on to manifest.
Time is spent looking at artwork and talk. I also have to spend time keeping my girlfriend warm, because she is still very, very cold and continues to cough.
2:00am - Both of us are very tired now, after a long day, and decide we should try to sleep. I find that the dips in the peak effect allow enough exhaustion to try and sleep. The CEVs in the dark room are beautiful and flowing. Very long tracer-like lines which suddenly turn into apocalyptic imagery. Now this isnít a bad thing, as one might think. The images didnít have any negative emotional attachment to them, but I found them very unusual because of their detail. Iíve only had such dark and vivid CEVs with ketamine and psilocybin before. Most other hallucinogens Iíve experienced have produced bright CEVs.
I toss and turn all night, but get some sleep in there somewhere. I wake up at 8:00am feeling a bit tired in my body, but alert and refreshed in my mind. My girlfriend and I smoke some more hash and go back to bed to get more rest.
Summary:
All in all, I found this to be a very interesting journey. I get the feeling that this compound can be used in many different ways for a variety of purposes. Time of day, mindsets, company, can all play a role in shaping an entirely new experience. However, do note that my girlfriends cough didnít get a whole lot better the next day, and she caught a flu the next morning. I guess like any other strong psychoactive, the strain on the mind and body will lower your immune resistances.
