I'm gathering all the hardware pieces to start logging a new to be installed heatpump.
Temperature sensors should be easy, flow rate however not so much.
We have flow sensors readily available of the type SIKA VVX 25
http://www.sika.net/en/products/flow-measuring-instruments/vortex-flow-sensors/series-vvx/item/1154-vortex-flow-sensor-type-vvx-25.html
Looking at page 32 of the datasheet here it should provide a pulse output.
I am however not familiar with this so was wondering if anybody could look at this and tell if this sensor is easily connected to an emonpi?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Re: Flow sensor help
The centre diagram (NPN Open Collector) looks as if it should work - you'll need the pull-up resistor (RL) at 5.1 (or 4.7 or 5.6) kΩ and you'll use pins 2 (U+) and 6 (pulse) on the "temperature sensor" RJ45 connector.
However, if I've done my sums correctly, the maximum pulse rate is 250 per second, so the sketch inside the emonPi might well need tweaking to accommodate that.
Re: Flow sensor help
Thx for looking.
I got a chance to look at the sensor in question today.
Turns out it's not the version with pulse output but with analoge output (see p33).
Looking aht the datasheet, is this version easily connectable?
Thx for the help!!
Re: Flow sensor help
It should be possible, though I've not tested it. A6 appears on pin 8 of the RJ45 connector, but that is only good to 3.3 V whereas your output possibly goes to 4 V - certainly to 3.5 V - therefore you'll need to lose a small fraction of the input voltage with a voltage divider.
And of course you'll need to modify the sketch in the emonPi to handle that input.
Re: Flow sensor help
For the vvx 25 3,5v means 150 l/min.
I will be far from it.
Even the vvx15's max of 40l/min won't be hit.
So this means i don't have to adjust the voltage?
Is there a post or something describing how to adjust the sketch?
I'm totally new to rasperrby pi and arduino.
Re: Flow sensor help
Maybe you do not expect the voltage to rise above 3.3 V, but in the case of a fault, it is possible that the voltage will rise above 3.3 V and the ADC input of the Atmel328P could be destroyed, therefore your input circuit should protect against that possibility. As the 3.3 V supply is not available on the connector, the only practical way is to add a series resistor (say 10 kΩ) to limit the current and hope that the internal protection diodes are adequate.
There are no instructions on this site for changing the sketch, though there are very many web pages about measuring voltages with the Arduino.
In outline, you must
1. In the header, add a suitable variable to the PayloadTX struct.
2. In setup(), be sure that the No. 6 analogue port is set to be an input (this is the default).
3. In loop(), do an analogRead() of the input pin and scale the number to engineering units, copy the result into the new variable.
4. Compile the sketch and transfer the hex file to the emonPi.
5. Change the configuration of emonHub to include the new variable that you added.
Re: Flow sensor help
Allright, thx!
Seems is missed your post, hence the late reply!
I'll go ahead and order everiything i need.
Where can i download the original sketch loaded in every emonpi by default?
Re: Flow sensor help
Github, as normal. You need all the .ino files, even though you'll only edit the one:
https://github.com/openenergymonitor/emonpi/tree/master/Atmega328/emonPi...
Re: Flow sensor help
A bit has changed lately.
I have the EmonPI with connected temp. sensors and edited Vcal (thx!).
Also i have the flow sensor wired to the emonpi. I measured the voltage coming into pin 8 of the RJ45 sensors, and it seems to work fine.
However, i have been looking at your instructions for editing the sketch to accommodate the new sensor, with no real success.
The only reference to pin 8 in the sketch seems to be this line:
//const byte emonPi_RJ45_8_IO= A6; // RJ45 pin 8 - Analog 6 (D19) - Aux I/O
Can you explain this in a bit more detail? if possible.
Re: Flow sensor help
You need to be looking at the ISR for handling the pulses. That's in the file "emonPi_Interrupt_Pulse.ino". And it gets into the ISR via the file "emonPi_Startup.ino" for the pull-up and "emonPi_int1_pin" and the main sketch for the interrupt itself. It's "emonPi_int1_pin" that you are looking for, and it's actually pin 6 on the RJ45 (see the Wiki).
Re: Flow sensor help
But, i'm using 0-3,5v.not pulses.
Isn't pin 8 the one i need for analog signal?
Re: Flow sensor help
Sorry, I'd forgotten that. Most flow sensors send pulses. Pin 8 is ADC 6 so it should be readable with a normal analogRead(emonPi_RJ45_8_IO).
"A6" is a predefined constant in one of the Arduino library files, so "emonPi_RJ45_8_IO" is really just giving a meaningful name to that input - after you've uncommented that line, of course.
Re: Flow sensor help
I've started fiddling with the sketch, not knowing half of what i'm doing to be honest.
Is the added sketch anywhere near what i'm supposed to be doing?
Doen't compile though:
flowValue was not declred in this scope...
Re: Flow sensor help
or should i just add
emonPi.flowValue=int(analogRead(emonPi_RJ45_8_IO)*28.5714);
to loop()
EDIT:
I'm getting somewhere, with this above command i'm now getting a value in emonhub!
It's not correct (bit high), but i can go from here now.
Thx for the help robert, your posts have been great! (although difficult to understand for me :) )
Re: Flow sensor help
I have been playing around with this some more.
There seem to be 2 problems still.
1. The measured Voltage coming in on the input is incorrect. ( Arduino measured value is higher than manually measured with multimeter. Calculated flow is as expected also too high. 0 flow reads as 18l/min...
2. Highly fluctuating values, very unstable.
Could this be an effect of the power supply? Measured +5VDC is fluctuating between 4.82 V and 4.86 V.
Besides the fact its unstable, isn't it too low?
I'm using the PS delivered with the emonPi.
My power feed coming from the CT's also isn't very stable, i'm not sure how stable it is supposed to be actually.
Can i read the actual Vcc measured by the arduino in my calculations?
In the sketch is written i shouldn't use readvcc?
Re: Flow sensor help
Hello Beire
Looking at your code I can see a few potential problems, although by the looks of it you got a bit further as you have the data in emoncms. I would do something like this for the analog reading:
double sum = 0; byte n = 0;
// try increasing this for a more stable reading
for (byte i=0; i<10; i++) {
// calculate voltage in Volts on A6 and add to sum
sum += (analogRead(A6)/1023.0)*3.3;
n++;
}
double flowVoltage = (sum / n);
double flowValue = flowVoltage * 28.5714;
emonPi.flow = flowValue * 10;
if you add that just above the line
send_emonpi_serial();
The above lines calculates an average which might help with stability a little, the result is also multiplied by 10 in order to make it possible to send it as an integer and then divide by 10 to obtain L/min to one decimal place in emoncms.
The power feed does look quite noisy, what are you measuring with it? do you have an ACAC voltage sensor for realpower measurement? I've attached an screenshot of my emonpi at ~30W load, the standard deviation measured in emoncms is 1.9W over that period, Im using an ACAC adapter for voltage measurement.
Re: Flow sensor help
Hello Beire,
I wonder where you got these from - I have been looking for a flow meter for a while. Are you in the UK (I'm guessing not)?
Cheers, Brian
Re: Flow sensor help
Hey Trystan,
Thank you for taking the time looking at my problem!
You mention multiplying by 10 to send as an integer. Up until now i sent the value as a float:
Payload:
float flow;
float flowVoltage;
Is it better to send as an integer?
I have edited and attached the sketch. Is it correct this way? I changed the value * 28.5714.
This value was a prelimenary test value. The calculation should now be correct with that formula and correspond to the output graph of the sensor.
Exactly what value should i change to have a more stable reading?
I'm having a bit delay now, as the sensor i placed in the system seems to be defective (wasn't new). So i'm now waiting for the time to go over there and change with a new model.
As far as the instable value's are concerned...
I'm measuring the power draw from the heat pump compressor. BUT as this is the first heatpump of this brand / model we are logging, i'm not sure how it compares to other brands we are logging.
Could just be the compressor load. Don't know. I'm having the electrical resistance also logged, i'll try forcing that one on as a test and look at that output.
I am using an AC-AC adapter btw (from the store EU model). I had to change the value of calibration in the sketch to 244 to correspond to the actual voltage.
This is far off the "default" recommended setting for the EU adapter no?
Re: Flow sensor help
Hi borpin123,
I'm not from the UK now, i'm located in belgium.
I'm an installer of heatpumps (stiebel eltron and daikin).
These sensors are used in Daikin's models. BUT grundfoss sensors have a habit of dying after a while due to bad resistance to poorer water quality.
Daikin have issued an RMA procedure for al these sensors to change them with SIKA VVX sensors.
That is why i have quite a lot of them at my disposal.
Now as this is only temporary as a test case, i will be needing to source them elsewhere also.
I'll keep an eye out for them and let you know where i can buy them from.
Re: Flow sensor help
Great looks good, you can increase the 10 here: for (byte i=0; i<10; i++) { to say 100 to average over 100 samples.
Sending as an integer uses 2 bytes rather than the 4 needed for a float which reduces the packet size helping with low power operation but if the node is powered from a usb supply it shouldn't really matter.
Yes the calibration can be different due to component and 1.1v reference tolerance, I recently fine tuned a test emontx to 260.4 to get closer results, there's a bit on voltage adapter calibration here: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/buildingblocks/ct-and-ac-power-adaptor...
Re: Flow sensor help
"I had to change the value of calibration in the sketch to 244 to correspond to the actual voltage. This is far off the "default" recommended setting for the EU adapter no?"
Actually, it is just inside the tolerance band. The calculated coefficient is 260, with a 6% tolerance for the adapter, and divider resistor chain tolerances. Adding those in, the lower limit is 244.4. Then you must add the tolerance on the 3.3 V power supply, which is "typical" 0.4% (you are using an emonPi?), and that takes you below your value of 244. At the regulator limit tolerance of 3%, that takes the worst possible calibration factor well outside your value.
Re: Flow sensor help
Thx for verifying trystan!
Robert,
Good to know it's not abnormal.
I wasn't worrying too much about it, just wondering if it's still within 'normal' spec :)


Wave 1
In Wave 1, the class conceptualized and finalized the idea of the project. As part of Arts & Design, our task for Research was to design a sustainable livelihood project for Haven for Children, a DSWD institution for children recovering from various forms of abuse. To do this, we first had to get information about our beneficiary.
We did this through an immersion, where we went to the institution ourselves. There, we conducted a needs assessment with the people there. While one group interviewed the children, the other (which I was part of) interviewed the administrators. From the answers collected, we discovered that their need is a sustainable way to earn money. The core problem, lack of funding, affects all aspects of the children’s lives: examples including school materials and the quality of living facilities.
Once we figured out the problem, the next step was devising the solution. Since we’re an Arts & Design class, our solution had to revolves around the arts in some way. Thankfully, from our immersion, we also discovered that the children have a natural inclination towards the arts. With this, we had to make sure that our solution was something that the children were capable of doing; aside from this, it also had to be something they could learn from.
It took a while to design the perfect project for them. Our first idea was hand-crafted soap. Unfortunately, this was denied due to its unsuitability for Arts & Design and the dangers it could pose to the children. As a result, we had to start from scratch again. The product team then thought of “Lubela”, a brand of handwoven home decor products. This was both safe and easy to do for the children. Because of this, the idea was approved by our research advisors, making it our final project idea.
In this project, I was part of the website group, which was responsible for creating the digital branding for the livelihood project. This was the proposed solution to the community’s poor reach, which was the root cause of their lack of funding. It was composed of the following: website, Facebook page, and manuals. We created these components based on the data we had from Haven for Children and the draft products of the product team.
Despite the challenges the class faced in conceptualizing, it was all worth it to find the perfect idea for our beneficiary.


Oil Inventories Are Declining
by ValueAnalystSummary
- Oil inventories are accelerating downward, as predicted.
- U.S. oil rig count is also in a downtrend.
- What's next for oil prices?
The U.S. Energy Information Administration ("EIA") released the most recent Petroleum Balance Sheet for the week ending November 15, 2019:
Total Stocks, including the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, dropped by seven million barrels, a significant week-over-week change, especially because last week's drop comes at the heels of another major drop in the previous week:
In just two weeks, Total Stocks dropped by 15 million barrels, even as the Crude Oil Input to Refineries jumped by 700 thousand barrels per day or more than 4 million barrels per week during the same period and Domestic Production also increased by 200 thousand barrels per day. The drop in inventories led to a seven percent increase in oil prices in the last month:
Data by YCharts
Let's investigate the contributing factors.
Why Did Total Stocks Drop?
The following table shows the Petroleum Supply for the most recent week ended November 15, 2019:
Exports have increased again, above three million barrels per day, recovering to the Cumulative Daily Average for the year-to-date period ended November 15, 2019. In other words, U.S. oil exports have surged in recent weeks while Domestic Production has been unable to keep up, pulling down the inventories.
The recent developments are in line with the fourth-quarter expectations that I laid out my article, Oil Prices To Rise, in October:
In summary, I expect: Domestic Production to increase only slightly through the year-end; OPEC to continue to lower its Q4 2019 forecast of the U.S. production; Domestic demand for Finished Motor Gasoline to accelerate downward; Exports of crude oil to surge above 3.5 million barrels per day; and Net Imports of crude oil to sink below 3.0 million barrels per day. As a result, I expect Commercial Stocks (Excluding SPR) to draw by 70 million barrels in Q4 2019 to end 2019 below 350 million barrels, and WTI and Brent crude oil to exceed $70 and $75 per barrel, respectively, by the end of 2019.
The decline in inventories is set to continue due to the following reason.
Rig Count
The rig count is continuing to decline at a rate not seen in nearly four years:
Data by YCharts
Within a few weeks, the U.S. oil production will likely peak, if it hasn't already:
Data by YCharts
The stark dichotomy between the U.S. oil production and the oil rig count cannot last forever, and given the ongoing credit slowdown affecting shale companies, the oil rig count is unlikely to turn up anytime soon:
What’s going on here? The capital discipline investors have demanded from shale producers is finally showing up in drilling programs. While shale producers have been successful in growing U.S. oil production to record levels of more than 12.5 million barrels a day, it has been less successful in making money for shareholders. Those shareholders are now no longer rewarding drilling companies for unprofitable growth.
One More Thing
Given the existing internal-combustion-engine fleet size of one-and-a-half billion vehicles, we are at least two decades away from fully transitioning to fleets of autonomous, electric vehicles running on renewable energy; however, the pace at which the world is moving in that direction may be accelerating, as the International Energy Agency continues to revise its forecasts:
Oil and oil company investors should be cognizant of the long-term risk that, if and when oil demand peaks, oil and oil company stock prices may also peak.
Bottom Line
I expect the U.S. oil production to finally flatline just below 13 million barrels per day, while the global oil demand and oil exports from the U.S. to the rest of the world continue to grow in the coming quarters, pulling down U.S. total stocks further down and pushing oil prices further up.

LOVE AFFAIR A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1994 James Berardinelli Status: O Rating (0 to 10): 6.9
Date Released: 10/21/94 Running Length: 1:47 Rated: PG-13 (Mature themes, language)
Starring: Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Gary Shandling, Pierce Brosnan, Kate Capshaw, Chloe Webb, Katherine Hepburn Director: Glenn Gordon Caron Producer: Warren Beatty Screenplay: Robert Towne & Warren Beatty based on the 1939 motion picture LOVE AFFAIR, screenplay by Delmer Daves and Donald Ogden Stewart, story by Mildred Cram and Leo McCarey Cinematography: Conrad L. Hall Music: Ennio Morricone Released by Warner Brothers
Warren Beatty's LOVE AFFAIR is the third incarnation of the tear- jerker that SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE named as the prototypical "woman's movie." Originated in 1939 under the direction of Leo McCarey, LOVE AFFAIR starred Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne as the playboy and playgirl couple who meet and fall in love on a transatlantic voyage. Eighteen years later, McCarey lengthened his script, added considerable humor, and brought to the screen AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER, with Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. Now, Beatty has taken this story and adapted it for today's audience.
Actually, the only switch from the Fifties to the Nineties is a rather unconvincing plot contrivance to get Mike Gambril (Beatty) and Terry McKay (Annette Bening) off the Los Angeles-to-Sydney flight on which they meet and onto a boat. The plane experiences engine trouble and has to make a forced landing on a small Pacific island. Since no other aircraft can land on the small runway, the passengers are transported away by ship. While sailing to Tahiti, Mike and Terry fall in love. Some days later, once they reach New York, they agree to wait three months (to relieve themselves of unwanted fiancees and get their lives in order), then meet atop the Empire State Building. What happens is a matter of record, especially for those who have seen SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE, but I won't spoil it here.
One curiosity is that in all three versions of this story, the man has had a different name. For whatever reason, his opposite has remained Terry McKay (although, admittedly, it would be hard to imagine Warren Beatty going by the name of Cary Grant's Nickie Ferrante). Her name, however, is not the only thing to stay the same.
While the first half of LOVE AFFAIR remains true in spirit and general storyline to AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER, the second half (beginning with the Empire State Building sequence) is almost identical, with much of the same dialogue being used. The setting may be modern, but the style and feel are lifted right out of the romances of the fifties.
Leo McCarey has said that one of his reasons for casting Grant and Kerr for AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER is that he wanted to heighten the comedy. In the new version, Beatty and Bening bring a certain playfulness to their roles, but the humor has been toned down. This has the unfortunate effect of turning LOVE AFFAIR into an occasionally-overwrought melodrama. It's not as manipulative as it could be, but teary eyes in the audience shouldn't surprise anyone.
Beatty, despite an undeniable screen presence, is rather flat in the role of the aging ex-quarterback. Compared to Grant, he exudes little charisma. Beatty's co-star and wife, Annette Bening, on the other hand, shines, constantly eclipsing her spouse. Not only does she have the vivaciousness and sparkle of Kerr, but an almost-eerie similarity in appearance.
I'm not sure that women will universally like this film better than men, but romantics will certainly appreciate it more than cynics. It is an unabashed love story, filled more with romance than sex, and concerned with character interaction over plot. My main complaint with the film is that it's not sufficiently different from its predecessor to warrant the remake. AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER may be thirty-seven years old, but it still stands up well. With so few changes, this makes 1994's LOVE AFFAIR redundant. Charming, but redundant.

Product Development at Velocity.
If you can’t continuously improve how you’re learning from customers and continuously improve the teams inside your organisation, you can’t ship continuously improved products.
The Principle of Continuity
I will use a very simple example to frame our discussion. Let’s say that your software development team believes that the customer wants an improved red button that’s square instead of round. Okay, development of an improved red button proceeds and is completed in one week. But, at the same time, the team creates an automated test for the red button as well as clear metrics for determining if the red button is actually the problem. This could be as simple as an A/B test (7 A/B Testing Resources for Startups and Solo Developers) that checks which button is used more.
The idea that the button needed changing is an hypothesis until it has been tested with customers. Imagine that the processes are not currently in place to enable the development team to receive these metrics — many teams are kept in splendid isolation from the results of their work — then the establishment of this relationship, perhaps with the Web operations team, is also going to be required.
This is as much a requirement of successful deployment of these features as the features themselves. The focus on the delivery of product features is not more important than developing the team capability to understand the success of the features once deployed. Following directly from this is the insight that the capability of the team in general precedes the capability of the product being developed. Therefore, we need to ensure that our teams are improving continuously too.
Continuous improvement implies (a certain amount of) learning continuously. In agile development we use retrospectives and blameless post-mortems to reflect on the causes of failure or success and what we need to do to continuously improve.
This is an example of what Argyris would call double-loop learning. A simple example from Chris Argyris explains the concept of ‘double loop learning’;
“ A thermostat that automatically turns on the heat whenever the temperature in a room drops below 68°F is a good example of single-loop learning. A thermostat that could ask, “why am I set to 68°F?” and then explore whether or not some other temperature might more economically achieve the goal of heating the room would be engaged in double-loop learning.”.
Continuous improvement of teams fundamentally requires the creation of disciplines that support double-loop learning both internally and externally. To consider the entire software development process as a mechanism of learning is not putting it too strongly. We build something (small) so that we can see if it works, both technically and for our customers. To do this we have to always ensure that we are releasing and not creating dams of deployed but unreleased features. The main insight we receive from release is the learning that shapes what we build next. Taken together with our earlier discussion of value, this results in “The Principle of Continuity: We Build to release, we release to learn, we learn to build.” But what does this imply for how we build products?
The IOTA Model
From the preceding insights we are able to identify two tensions that frame our product development activities:
-
A tension between what we value and what the customer values.
-
A tension between how we think about the world (of the customer, our team etc.) and how we act in it.
These are shown in the model above as a matrix, identifying 4 stages in a cycle of product development.
-
Hypothesis formation
-
Capability building → essentially a list of features / stories.
-
Condition improvement → a list of stories that do not impact the customer now but improve the teams ability.
-
Target measurement.
The Two Product Principle
I think of the product we ship to the customer as “Product 1” — this is all about realizing our hypotheses of what we think the customer wants. But it isn’t practical action until we have actually delivered it and received feedback from the customer. We find Product 1 in the Capability quadrant. Everything we build should be a capability we hypothesise will be valuable to the customer and our organisation. Meanwhile, the internal capabilities we wish to develop — which I call “Product 2” — are our view of what we need to improve while we build. . These capabilities are, therefore, not theoretical in the same way as “Product 1.” We can see their effectiveness, and our effectiveness at building them, the very minute we decide to start improving them. “Product 2” takes hold — is at hand — immediately.
But how often though do we release software features that were ‘urgent’ but whose effectiveness is never actually measured in the end? Every feature should be measured.
What could we do with the results of our measures? These inform the next cycle (or sprint) where we either build on our success at accurately providing for the customer or decide whether to remediate our mis-calculation. Worked Example
A great example of this that will be familiar to software practitioners in banks everywhere will be the ‘budgeting application’ which many banks have built into their online offerings. The hypothesis was that customers needed help budgeting. This is almost certainly true but the means in which this was tested was in most cases by providing a budgeting solution and then measuring its use. This, incidentally, is very low across the board.
Measuring the ‘use’ of software is not the same as measuring value. If we do not have an hypothesis about the results this new feature will produce for our company, why are we investing resources in it in the first place? The IOTA model helps us join all of the pieces together. The example below provides an example of what a quick 2 week sprint might look like
- Hypotheses:
- Customers want to budget using historical data from their bank account rather than control future spending (which is how most people understand the term, ‘budget’.)
- Customers understand how they spend money by categorizing their transactions.
- Capabilities (features):
- Create an alert that notifies whenever spend in a category goes over a budgeted amount. E.g. $100 from Amazon.
- Enable the categorisation of transactions.
- Conditions:
- Obtain from the data warehouse team any attributes they already use to analyse transactions so that we can provide categories for users as a starter set.
- Determine if we can deduce categories of things bought using the amazon transaction reference.
- Targets:
- Within a month 5% of internet banking customers have categorized some transactions.
- Greater than 75% of those customers have activated a budget alert.
Iterating the model
If the targets are not met it automatically results in a questioning of the entire cycle from the start (hypotheses) again. In the next sprint, we may decide to further refine our target because we got mixed results — for instance, 20% signed up but only 10% used alerts. Notice also the conditions (Product 2). These actions will not necessarily improve the team if the basic hypotheses are false, i.e. if customers really do not want to budget using their online banking service, but they may still be useful. The use of product 2 to investigate deeper and probe outside of the current scope of the hypotheses can be a useful means of not falling into the disruption trap.
To see why this is the case, consider that a bank wanted a budgeting application because they were afraid of disintermediation by apps like Mint.com. The response was to create some similar features as shown above. After the results above, the bank decided to test the ability to decline transactions by SMS based on the budget categories and implemented an MVP that enabled this only for Amazon purchases.
On release, both the adoption of categorization and alerts spiked sharply. For those in banking there are many variables in this but for the purposes of elaboration here, it is clear that the ability to control the transaction seems important to the value perceived by the customer. The basis for disintermediation being flashy graphical features (like budget pie charts) seems less likely than transaction control. In the next cycle we are forced to look at other transaction types or perhaps payment methods (e.g. paypal) that are more transparent. In this way we use the customer to investigate value more openly. The basis for this will often be those conditions built up in product 2 activities.
I have however also seen many Product 2 examples that are very mundane, like getting more powerful laptops for the team so they can run full local testing or writing automated tests for dependent API’s. Either way, ensuring that Product 2 features are given the same priority as product 1 features means that over time the team improves the conditions within which it works, as well as its understanding of the broader ecosystem within which the product functions. Product 2 features should be written like user stories, put on your scrum / kanban board and estimated / allocated in the same way as customer features.
The Crucible
The IOTA model can be tricky to get to grips with conceptually. This is why you shouldn’t try. Just start using it. I use a mechanism, I call ‘The Crucible’ to enable this.
We discussed double-loop learning above and there are many approaches to formalising it including in very testing circumstances. A common one is the OODA loop used in the military: Orient, Observe, Decide, Act. and of course, Demming’s PDSA — Plan, Do, Study, Act.
In order to work effectively and make good decisions, we know we need to reflect on results but we also need rest. The human brain’s ability to concentrate on a single item begins to decline after around 10 minutes. In addition, if we believe we have plenty of time to make a decision we also tend to spend more time talking abstractly, without a clear outcome in mind, also resulting in many context shifts as the conversation meanders. This is wonderfully covered by Goldratt in ‘The Goal’ as ‘Student Syndrome.’ So to remedy this, I break up each iteration of the IOTA model into 15 minute slices where we focus on four activities within strict time slices:
A. 2 Minutes to decide what we are going to model this iteration.
B. 5 minutes to do one cycle of IOTA using stickies on a flipchart. Ensuring we have added at least one to each quadrant.
C. 5 minutes to reflect on ‘how’ we approached the problem, not the solution itself, but how we worked together to get to the result we have. Think of this as a small retrospective.
D. 3 Minutes rest. This is critical as it gives time for the brain to process questions in the background using different cognitive pathways. This is why after taking a moment we often arrive at a solution.
In my experience, having run this 100’s of times, the best results are achieved after around 10 iterations like this. Each iteration is a refinement of the previous one and in a product development context enables a small team standing around a flipchart to become crystal clear on what they need to build to test an hypothesis and what success looks like.
In many cases, teams use story cards for the Capabilities quadrant to do sprint planning for a short sprint of around two weeks. The use of short sprints no longer than two weeks is very powerful because it reduces the focus on illusory estimation. This approach is often referred to as the “No Estimates” movement and is well described by Vasco Duarte. I’m a big fan.
I use the resulting model as a mechanism for talking to stakeholders outside the project team and the beauty is that everybody in the team can do the same thing. It is also useful as a context setter for retrospectives at the end of the sprint and to remind ourselves of our priorities during the sprint.
The HSM — Architects, Vision and other Horizons
The IOTA model is also very scaleable. A question often asked by agile teams in transition concerns the role of the architect and how to reconcile technical vision and strategy with product vision and strategy. If both of these are ‘well defined’ do we really have any choice as we iterate? The solution of course is for architects to describe the boundary of the technical solution, especially those elements that are not under your control. I particularly like Eric Evans approaches in Domain Driven Design for this. Some discussion of design principles going forward can be useful but the best design principles emerge out of real problems at the time of software construction and not in anticipation of them. There are of course some basic ideas that we might want to agree on. The 12 Factor approach is popular for instance. But what of the product vision?
A product vision further out than around 3 months is likely either too abstract to be useful or too constraining to allow learning and experimentation. Remember that ‘product ideas’ are not the same as ‘backlog’. In enterprises, backlogs that are three months worth of work can very quickly become assumed commitments of exactly that work. I define a Holy S**T Moment, or High Stakes Message if you prefer, as that customer experience or EVENT (we will come back to this word) in using your software that truly surprises and changes their perception of what was possible. These are tough to deliver and always end up being subtly different from the brilliant idea you had in your bath…as you iterate and explore.
The IOTA model can be used to describe the HSM (as a capability) and provide a focus on the high level hypotheses and tests on which the idea of the HSM is based. Perhaps we thought that budgeting would be a HSM for our customers but it turns out that discovering how much money they can save by declining transactions was the HSM. Having a clear focus on an HSM though, which you test after every sprint, is critical though because you can very easily slip into the detail of sprint planning while making massive assumptions about the overall impact of the collected features on your customer. In the end therefore you review your sprint IOTA and your 3 month IOTA regularly. This approach works well together with Jeff Patton’s Story Mapping if you need the additional structure.
Value Again
How could we use the model of value discussed earlier, to improve how we build product? Both Jeff Patton and Marty Cagan have some great ideas for how to ask good questions of the products you are creating. I am beginning more and more however to come back to forcing reflection on how the product features we deliver in each sprint cover the 5 bases above. From a product development point of view we may translate them thus: • Velocity → Which jobs the customer has to do are now possible faster with the same quality?
• Granularity → What deep capability are you building, all of which might not be visible to the user, but which will enable you to unlock further features later? One of my favourite examples of this is the introduction of Python to configure the game Civilisation IV.
• Density → What more complex jobs are possible taking all features already delivered into account?
• Concreteness → What can the customer now do that previously they could not.
• Agency → What choices do you give the customer in how to perform a task?
Using Cagan’s language — all of these can be ‘delighters’ and using this approach I think you are more likely to identify that delight. Good news. These questions also work for Product 2! For clarity, I phrase them slightly differently:
• Velocity → What capability does the team need in order to accomplish a recurrent task more quickly?
• Granularity → Which product or technology areas do you need to acquire greater knowledge?
• Density → Which tasks can be integrated and performed together (I.e. Automated)
• Concreteness → What will the whole team be able to do at the end of the sprint that they are not able to do now?
• Agency → What capacity do you have in the current sprint to experiment?
Products developed using IOTA and the Crucible create EVENTS in both customer and team members’ lives.

Project summary
Construction of three new buildings over an eight year span for the corporate headquarters and manufacturing facilities in Hatfield, Pennsylvania (60,000 square feet) and Baton Rouge, Louisiana (20,000 square feet).
- Worked closely with Curtiss-Wright EST Group corporate executives to write and solicit competitive bids from architectural, engineering, construction management, and general contracting firms.
- Developed three different types of RFP’s to be used on the projects dependant on varying construction market economic conditions in two different states.
- A design/build method of project delivery was used in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
- A construction management type of contract with a fixed fee and a GMP was used in Hatfield, Pennsylvania on the original plant construction.
- And a firm price competitive bidding was deemed more appropriate for use on the Hatfield addition that was built.
- Handled all aspects of the design and construction administration phases for all three projects, including the authoring of the three different types of the contract agreements.
- Represented Curtiss-Wright EST Group as their owner’s representative during all design and construction meetings at the job sites.
- Reviewed, critiqued, and negotiated all change order requests submitted by the various design and construction teams.
- Carefully inspected the work of all trades to insure quality workmanship, and compliance with the contract documents and local building codes.
- All three projects were completed within the owner’s time and budget requirements.

NOT ONE LESS (Yi ge dou bu neng shao)
Reviewed by Harvey Karten Sony Pictures Classics Director: Zhang Yimou Writer: Shi Xiangsheng (based on novel) Cast: Wei Minzhi, Zhang Huike, Ian Zhenda, Gao Enman, Sun Zhimei, Feng Yuying, Li Fanfan, Tian Zhenda
Here are some facts: try to identify the location being described.
Teachers' salaries are so low that the authorities have to dig deeply into the barrel just to find uncertified substitutes. Regular teachers take too much time off, using their sick leave: in one case an instructor takes a whole month to visit his dying mother. The kids are pretty wild. Teacher turns her back on the class and mayhem ensues. Kids sneak out during the day to such an extent that it's necessary to post a guard at the door just to keep them inside the building. While the brighter kids can read the alphabet, some can't read at all, yet all are tracked into the same class. The dropout rate is scandalously high. Many of the youngsters are dirt poor and need to find work just to keep their families afloat. The mayor promises more supplies and better pay but cannot be trusted to keep his word.
What school system are we talking about? If you guessed Shuiquan Village in China's Hebai province, you're on the money. That wasn't hard, was it?
"Not One Less" is an adorable fable which can draw tears from those in the audience who are not yet enveloped by hardness and cynicism. Made by one of China's great directors, the fifty-year-old Zhang Yimao ("Red Sorghum," "The Story of Qiu Ju," "Raise the Red Lantern"), Shi Xiangsheng's story is of a small village school not too distant from Beijing but light-years away from that country's capital in sophistication. "Not One Less" is not one of those thinly- veiled allegories of its country's politics but is, rather, a straightforward, heart-wrenching and frequently comic tale of the difference one teacher can make on her students. Since Zhang was himself a farm hand and unskilled laborer during the Cultural Revolution from 1968 to 1978, he constructs his scenes from what he knows. Yet this time around he has no interest in exploiting China's great actors like Gong Li (who is sold into a loveless marriage in "Red Sorghum" and is sent to a feudal manor to become the new wife of a nobleman in "Raise the Red Lantern"). In this case he employs the talents of non-professionals, with most characters performing in the precise roles they follow in real life. The mayor of little Shuiquan village, Tian Zhenda, is in fact the mayor of Shuiquan village. The students at the Zhongxin primary school are students at that very school. Even the TV station manager at the broadcasting station of the city of Jiangjiakou is the TV station manager at Jiangjiakou's TV outlet. While watching these people perform with gusto and above all without pretense, you can't help wondering why people need to go to acting school at all.
The story turns on an unusual plot device. The sole teacher of the rural school (Gao Enman) is called away from his job for a month to visit his dying mother and, because it's not easy to find a replacement willing to work for such low pay in such a dirt-poor village, the mayor hires a 13-year-old, Wei Minzhi (Wei Minzhi) as a substitute, promising her 50 yuan for her labor. (The yuan is the same as the renminbi, so each would be worth twelve cents. Six dollars a month. Hear that Sandra Feldman? You have some organizing to do.) But the $6 will not come to her that easily. Because of the high attrition rate at the school, she will get paid only if by the end of the month, her roster shows the same number of students--not one less. When one kid--the class clown-- drops out because his sick mother needs him to find work in the big city of Jiangjiakou--Wei's dignity is on the line and her conscience is challenged. Though the kid has made life unpleasant for her in the classroom, she will spare no effort in getting him back to school. The latter part of the film deals with Wei's adventures roaming the city with virtually no money, trying despairingly to find the boy. Your reaction to the movie's climax--Wei's pleas to a TV audience in that city-- is a good barometer of the story's effect on your emotions.
In supervising a cast of characters who are principally below the age of fourteen, including some as youthful as six, Zhang proves that he is as much a master at his trade as he is when overseeing the performance of the wonderful Gong Li in his more sophisticated dramas. Mixing light moments with inspiring melodrama, Zhang graphically illustrates the plight of millions upon millions of kids in his Third World country who must drop out of school yearly simply to locate jobs paying the equivalent of sixty dollars a year. Most of the population in the city get around on bicycles, but let's not romanticize the circumstances. The relative absence of cars does little to ameliorate China's problems with pollution: in fact of the ten most pollutes cities in the world, I believe China has four.
During the closing credits, Zhang informs the audience that inadequate schooling will continue to keep the rural population as poor as those of the previous generation. Yet "Not One Less" is not meant to propagandize the country's plight, to embarrass the current government, or to evoke worldwide cries of sympathy and financial support.  In western nations where American movies are more popular than the local fare, the crowds go for plot-driven stories: what happens next? Whodunit? But in this touching road movie, the journey, not the destination, is the essence. The roads are rocky and rough and the excursion long and slow, but the trip is ever so worthwhile.

While it’s pretty hard to become a ninja yourself, it can be easy to get a taste if you visit the right place. Spots that celebrate the rich, secretive history of ninja can be found scattered throughout Japan—including these five right in the Tokyo area!
5. Jidai Academy Dojo (Tabata, Tokyo)
If your goal is to experience a taste of the rigorous training required of ninja, look no further than the Jidai Academy Dojo, located right in Tokyo. It’s a small establishment operated by members of the Musashi Clan, which boasts over 400 years of history, 250 of which they served under the Tokugawa Shogunate.
For a premium of about ¥15,000 per person, you can participate in a two-hour “day in the life of” crash course, which includes fitting and changing into a gi (the preferred wardrobe of those practicing martial arts), several hands-on demonstrations of traditional ninja weapons, and lessons in meditation. For an up-charge (starting around ¥30,000) you can even partake in the ninja and samurai certification course!
4. Odawara Castle (Odawara, Kanagawa)
Located in Odawara City, Kanagawa, Odawara Castle is the magnificent ancestral home of the Hojo, a powerful clan that controlled much of Kanagawa Prefecture after rising to power during the Kamakura Period (1185-1333). The Hojo were eventually defeated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his historic siege of the castle in 1590.
The Fuma were a clan of ninja that served the Hojo faithfully for many years. They specialized in horseback guerrilla warfare and naval espionage, and clan leaders each took the given name Kotaro. After the fall of the Hojo, however, they were reduced to acting as brigands around the Tokyo area, then known as Edo.
While they may be long gone, you can still enjoy Fuma ninja culture at Odawara Castle during the last weekend in August each year, when the Odawara Fuma Ninja Festival gives you a chance to wear a ninja costume and try throwing knives, blow darts, bows and arrows and even horseback riding! Information on this and other ninja-related events can be found at the Odawara-shi Tourist Association website.
3. Edo Wonderland (Nikko, Tochigi)
A true ninja finds time to step away from Nikko’s many national treasures and UNESCO World Heritage sites to visit Edo Wonderland, a theme park in Tochigi Prefecture that offers a traditional blast from the past. Edo Wonderland is an amusement park unlike any other, offering all the ambiance and entertainment you would expect if you visited Japan in the Edo Period (1603-1868).
This, of course, includes a course on the art of the ninja. The theme park offers courses that can be enjoyed by both kids and adults, teaching you how to throw shuriken (ninja throwing stars) as well as ninja movement and concealing techniques. After striking down your enemies from the shadows, be sure to visit one of the many dining venues or catch a period-appropriate performance!
2. Bujinkan Dojo (Noda City, Chiba)
The Bujinkan dojo, based in Chiba Prefecture, is the home base for the International Bujinkan Dojo Association, which is dedicated to the rigorous study of nine different martial arts, including ninpo, more commonly known as ninjutsu. While previous entries on this list offer one-off experiences, the Bujinkan offers a highly regimented means of mastering the art of the ninja that’s very foreigner-friendly.
Although the website looks as ancient as the martial arts the organization practices, Bujinkan is the real deal. Founder Masaaki Hatsumi has dedicated his life to the proliferation of Japanese martial arts (and worked as a martial arts consultant for the movie biz!), and the classes on offer are expertly organized. Ninja hopefuls must rise through the ranks by mastering the basics before earning their belts. Check out the website for information on where to enroll (and the associated costs), as well as alternate education options if there isn’t a dojo in your area.
1. Ninja Akasaka (Akasaka, Tokyo)
Tokyo is home to an incredible breadth of themed restaurants, but none of them hold a candle to Ninja Akasaka, the preferred eatery of a true shinobi. The exterior is designed to resemble a traditional ninja house, complete with dark rooms, winding staircases and mysterious corridors.
When you arrive inside, you’ll be greeted by a master of the shadowy arts who will show you to your seats and give you a brief overview of the menu. While the à-la-carte dishes range in price from ¥600 to ¥10,000, the restaurant also offers course menus for parties of various sizes. Most of the fare is appropriately kitschy, and between the eats and the entertainment, you’ll be sure to get your fill of all things ninja!

[gecode-users] Compiling Gecode using framework and GCC 4.0
Raphael Marczak
raphael.marczak at labri.fr
Wed Jun 10 10:00:26 CEST 2009
Hello
Thank you very much both of you for your fast answers.
The engines of VIRAGE I develop is developped under Eclipse, and with
unofficial versions of gcc 4.2, it works perfectly.
Thank you very much !
But the GUI of VIRAGE is developed by another person under XCode, and
it includes all the engines source files.
If I update GeCode in the project, the GUI will not compile under XCode.
So there is the dilemma.
And I am really disappointed by XCode.
Thank again
Best regards
Raphael

Develop and deploy on the same box with Capistrano 2007/07/22
You're crazy if you're not deploying Rails apps with Capistrano. This tool makes it dead-simple to push your latest Subversion to your production server, run database migrations and restart your server all in one simple command. Plus with extra tasks like cold_deploy
, getting a new box added to the pool is a snap. One problem, though — this tool was designed with real environments in mind, and my one-box setup for development and production doesn't quite fit in. If you're in the same boat, fear not, I have a solution.
The root of this problem is the assumption that your development and production server environments are identical. But when deploying to localhost
, using the same mongrel_cluster.yml
is just not an option, since you need to use separate ports for your development and production versions.
We need to user two different mongrel_cluster.yml
files, one for production and one for development. We can leave the development version out of Subversion and create the production version over again on each deploy. But how do we deal with actually restarting the server?
It turns out Capistrano creates a directory structure that supports this directly, since the *.pid
files in the log/
directory are symlinked into place and persist between deployments. So it seems like we can just create the config file and restart the server, right?
Wrong. deploy.rb
's run
command doesn't quite work like your average, everyday shell script. To help it out, I created a shell script that handles the server restart. The shell script allows me to change directories into the application directory and set the PATH
variable so mongrel_rails
can be found.
Putting it all together, here is config/deploy.rb
:
set :application, 'halvesies' set :repository, 'protocol://repository/url' role :web, 'localhost' role :app, 'localhost' role :db, 'localhost' set :deploy_to, '/path/to/production/app' task :restart, :roles => [:web, :app, :db] do run "#{deploy_to}/current/config/restart.sh" end
And here is config/restart.sh
:
#!/bin/sh cd /path/to/production/app/current export PATH="$PATH:/var/lib/gems/1.8/bin" mongrel_rails cluster::configure -e production -p 11001 -a <IP_ADDRESS> -N 3 mongrel_rails cluster::restart cd -
And after all of this, you still deploy your site by just running cap deploy
.

Mum warns parents after being sold out of date Aptamil baby milk by Sainsbury's
Tina Butler concerned about health risk and is urging mums and dads to be aware
by Neil Shaw, Jamie Hawkins, Geoffrey BennettSainsbury's has apologized after a mum bought baby milk which was a month out of date.
Tina Butler returned two bottles of Aptamil for her son Jayden and confronted staff about the slip, reports Wales Online.
The 28-year-old from Whitstable, who bought the milk in Chestfield, Kent, said: “I went back to the supermarket with my dad to make them aware of the situation.
“I told three women behind the customer service desk about it and they didn’t seem interested.
“When I showed one of the ladies the bottle, she was reluctant to give it back.”
The staff offered Miss Butler a refund on both of the bottles - which retail at £3.70 each - and a £10 gift card for her troubles, which she turned down.
Unhappy with the offer she then phoned Sainsbury’s customer service to demand action to avoid a repeat of the episode.
This time she was offered a £25 gift card, and then £50, but she refused both.
She said: “It is neglect. You trust what you buy to be in date and to get home and realize that it’s a month out of date; it shatters your trust.
“I just want parents to be aware Sainsbury’s are not checking their dates.
“I am worried. I have read stories about babies being taken to hospital after eating out of date food."
A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said: “We have apologized to Tina for her experience and offered her a gesture of goodwill.
"Stock has been checked to make sure this does not happen again.”

This review is part one of a series which, in order, includes ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES, RETURN OF THE KILLER TOMATOES: THE SEQUEL, and KILLER TOMATOES STRIKE BACK!.
87 min., PG, Comedy, 1978 Director: John De Bello Cast: David Miller, George Wilson, Sharon Taylor, Jack Riley, "Rock" Peace, John De Bello, Ernie Meyers, Ron Shapiro, Jerry Anderson, Eric Christmas, Al Sklar, Robert Matzenauer
Across the Unites States tomatoes start attacking people. The U. S. government forms a special group of "specialists" to go and stop the tomatoes. The tomatoes grow in size and threaten the U.S. The "specialists" aren't doing the best job.
ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES could, quite possibly, be the worst movie ever made, but then again what can you expect from a film that has the quote "Surely ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES has to be some kind of camp classic" (H. J. Weeks - ARTWEEK) on the back of the video box. I can't recommend this film to anyone, even fans of B movies, which I am. This is the type of film that gives B movies a bad name. I doubt this is any kind of camp classic. This film was followed by two sequels, RETURN OF THE KILLER TOMATOES: THE SEQUEL, and KILLER TOMATOES STRIKE BACK! (and maybe one called KILLER TOMATOES EAT FRANCE). On a scale of zero to five, I give ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES a zero (unfortunately my scale doesn't go any lower). ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES is rated PG for explicit language.
I don't think I can think of anything good about this film. There were exactly two scenes which I liked, the master of disguise hanging out with the tomatoes and the carrot joke. I laughed three times during the entire film.  The actors/actresses show no talent at all. The story is horribly written, and isn't even funny.  The idea of tomatoes eating people is preposterous, they don't have any mouths. Two big questions crossed my mind while I was watching this film, "How do the tomatoes move without any feet?", and "Why am I watching this horrible film?" Then when the movie was over a third question crossed my mind, "Why did John De Bello make this film?" At least I came up with an answer to that one, obviously he wanted to punish his audience.

The portal is a virtually isolated application instance.
Portals should be loaded via the sub domain of the request. The application has an important concept of the active portal, and this is used to regulate styling and portal assets, but also to control access to a portal users which are table isolated, using portal prefixes to private tables.
Generally speaking the application should continue to be written such that controllers are generic to all portals and the application layer should support this invisibly. Specific or specialised content is normally specific to a Role, and not a portal.
If you need to write portal specific functionality think very carefully before breaking the existing generics, and consider a per portal folder that could contain specific controllers.
The active portal should have been configured during bootstrap, and available from the dic. See $portal = Apprecie::getActivePortal(); //or $portal = $di->get('portal');

Can someone explain this?
failed to synthesize type class instance for TL : Type u, [...] _inst_9 : is_contr TL, [...] ⊢ is_contr TL
Even if I set pp.all true
, it shows that TL is the right thing and there's no hidden difference...
Did you try using letI
to add the instance to the type class inference system? I appreciate that its name indicates that it should be in it already..
The environment looks like this:
@[hott] def pushout_of_embedding {n : ℕ₋₂} [is_embedding g] : Π [is_trunc n TL] [is_trunc n TR] [is_trunc n BL], is_trunc n (pushout f g) := begin induction n with n IH, { intros, apply base_case, } end
So it's mentioned after the :
, maybe that's what prevents it from being a local instance?
Yes that's exactly it.
You need to explicitly add it to the instance list with letI
Okay, thanks :+1:
Leo changed this behaviour a few months ago. Nothing right of the colon goes in any more
you should use resetI
there instead of letI

Ruby Time: Arrays and Hashes
Friday, April 3rd, 2015
back to blog index
Hello. Are you new to programming?  And let’s say you want to write a program that tells a story, about what Bruce Sprintsteen did today. You could type out a story like this:
Bruce Springsteen woke up. Bruce Springsteen ate breakfast. Bruce Springsteen wrote a song. Bruce Springsteen played it for a friend. Bruce Springsteen ate a late lunch.
If you’re like me, you’d probably get bored of typing “Bruce Springsteen." What could you do? In programming you could save that name to a variable, like this:
bruce = “Bruce Sprintsteen”
Then you could just use the variable “bruce” in your program, instead of typing “Bruce Springsteen” every time. Storing things is easy!
Let’s tackle a different problem. Say I have five people in my family, and I want to use those in my program. I could store them as variables too.
homer = “Homer Simpson”
marge = “Marge Simpson”
bart = “Bart Simpson”
lisa = “Lisa Simpson”
maggie = “Maggie Simpson”
Ok, that’s pretty good… but what if I want to name everyone in my family? I’d still have to name all the variables individually, or look back through my program, copy and paste… that’s kind of a lot of work. What if I could store that as a list?!
family = [“Homer”, “Marge”, “Bart”, “Lisa”, “Maggie”]
This list is called an array. An array is an ordered collection of values. This works better. In an array, values are stored by numeric indexes. So if someone wanted to know who my third family member is, I could look that up by saying:
family[2]
And it would tell me “Bart.” (Arrays are sort of weird, their number system starts from 0. There is a reason, but there’s no need to get into it here.) Pretty nice. But, who asks that, my “third” family member? What a weird way to identify them. It doesn’t mean anything to me, or probably anyone, for that matter. Array’s are a great way to store a list, but the index doesn’t really help me identify them. Like with variables, I would have to remember the identifier of what I'm looking for, or see the list to pull things out specifically.
What if I wanted to store this information similarly, but I wanted to make the indexes a little easier to use or remember? For example, let’s the person from the last example wants to know my third-BEST something, let’s say, third-best friend? I could use a different method:
friends = {
:best => “John”,
:second_best => “Paul”,
:third_best => “George”,
:not_really_a_friend => “Ringo”
}
Then, when someone wanted to know my third-best friend, I could look it up with:
friends[:third_best]
And it would return “George.” Great! This data type is called a hash, at least in Ruby. It is an un-ordered collection, again with values, but they are indexed with unique identifiers, called “keys.”  They work kind of like a dictionary (and hashes are actually referred to as "dictionaries" in some programming languages). The user can look up information based on an identifier that they know. For our purposes here, the hash works great.
That isn’t to say that the hash is the best solution for storing data. The keys aren’t always needed, sometimes indexes work just fine. And there are other data types that work great for other purposes. But arrays and hashes are very common, so it’s important to know the difference. Hopefully - as you were new to programming five minutes ago - now you do.

I'm A Celebrity star Caitlyn Jenner hiding devastating secret from her past
She's been through a lot in her life
by Helen FearCaitlyn Jenner is currently toughing it out in the Australian jungle, as one of the 12 famous faces taking part in this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
She's already impressed viewers with her no-nonsense approach to the trials - including having her head put in a snake-infested helmet - and has become an early favourite to take the crown.

But former athlete and transgender activist Caitlyn, 70, has been hiding a dark tragedy from her fellow campmates.
The reality star - who won Olympic gold at the 1500 metres as Bruce Jenner in 1976 - lost her brother in a tragic accident the same year she won gold in Montreal.
Caitlyn, then Bruce, was 26 when her younger brother, Burt, died while driving a silver Porsche that Caitlyn had allowed him to borrow.

After winning gold and breaking the world record at the Montreal Olympics, Caitlyn promptly retired and returned home to Canton, Connecticut, to give a speech at her former high school.
A car dealership lent Caitlyn the sports car and she agreed to allow 18-year-old Burt and his high school sweetheart Judith Hutchings, 16, to drive it to the petrol station to fill up the tank.
Mother of six Caitlyn - one of four siblings - revealed in her autobiography that Burt chose to take a "narrow and curvy" route.
After losing control of the vehicle, Burt crashed and neither he nor Judith were wearing seatbelts.
Paramedics fought to save them but Judith was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital and Burt died five hours later, without regaining consciousness.
In her book The Secrets Of My Life, Caitlyn wrote: "There was a rise, and Burt took it too fast. The Porsche went airborne and then crooked.
"It hit a tree and then a rock wall of sizeable boulders. Judith was flung from the car and killed instantly. Burt suffered critical injuries.
"I have struggled with guilt."
Speaking to The Mirror, a friend of Caitlyn said: "Caitlyn has already had to deal with so much in her lifetime.
"Losing her brother was a really painful time in her life but she got through it.
"She is made of tough stuff and she's bringing that attitude to the jungle with her."
After the first show, bookmakers slashed the odds on Caitlyn becoming the next Queen Of The Jungle, after she received a quarter of ALL bets.
Many viewers perhaps expected the star of Keeping Up With The Kardashians to be a huge diva, but she seemed unfazed by jumping from a plane, the basic conditions in camp, and lack of food.
