_A_Bug's_Life_ (G) *** 1/2 (out of ****)
With the release of Disney and Pixar's _A_Bug's_Life_, the first head-to-head Disney-DreamWorks animation battle has officially taken place. The winner? Well, there isn't one--it's a draw. While their respective studios continue their war of words and massive publicity, _Bugs_ and _Antz_, it turns out, can peacefully co-exist, each carving out their own delightful, distinctive niche in the computer-animated insect milieu.
The similarities between _Bugs_ and _Antz_ begin and end with the facts that they are completely computer animated, center on ant colonies, and that the two main characters are a worker ant (here named Flik, voiced by Dave Foley) and an ant princess (Atta, voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus). Ne'er-do-well Flik is ordered by the Princess to find warrior insects to help his colony in their ongoing conflict with a gang of grasshoppers led by the maniacal Hopper (Kevin Spacey).  But as warrior-like as these bugs may appear, they are actually gentle circus performers desperate for a gig after being fired by flea circus owner P.T. Flea (John Ratzenberger). Realizing his error, Flik nonetheless tries to make a counteroffensive against the grasshoppers work, lest he let down the colony once again.
The script for _A_Bug's_Life_, credited to co-director Andrew Stanton, Donald McEnery, and Bob Shaw (from a story by Stanton, Ranft, and co-director John Lasseter), lacks the sharp, satirical, sociopolitical subtext of _Antz_. For that matter, neither is the story as hilarious and smart as that of the previous Disney/Pixar collaboration, _Toy_Story_. In telling a simpler story, _Bugs_ holds more kid and general family appeal, but that does not mean that there isn't enough witty dialogue, funny situations, and entertaining characters to amuse the adults in the crowd. (In fact, the film's best gag, which comes during the end credits, is clearly aimed at adults; I wouldn't dream of giving it away, but I will say that, with any luck, it should kill a lazy trend in recent film.) The most memorable characters are distinguished by terrific voice performances: Spacey completely inhabits the menacing Hopper with malicious glee; Louis-Dreyfus is nicely neurotic as Atta; and Ranft fits Heimlich with a hilarious, almost effeminate German accent. As a whole, though, the ensemble here won't make you forget the work of the more stellar cast of _Antz_; Foley does an adequate job voicing Flik, but, not surprisingly, he doesn't hold down the center of the movie as well as Woody Allen in the other film.
Where _A_Bug's_Life_ is clearly superior to _Antz_ is in the visual department. The art by the Pixar crew is stunningly detailed, from the gritty walls of the ant colony tunnels to, most impressively, the insects themselves, namely the amazingly lifelike grasshoppers. Lasseter and Stanton also employ more ambitious camera work than their DreamWorks counterparts, especially during an exciting aerial chase sequence set during a rainstorm. PDI did a terrific job with the animation on _Antz_, but _A_Bug's_Life_ shows that Pixar is still the king of feature computer animation.
And, by default, so is Disney, and, with its broader demographic appeal, _A_Bug's_Life_ should handily outpace _Antz_'s impressive box office grosses. But DreamWorks has already established itself as a worthy contender in the animation field, and the Mouse should watch out when the big SKG fires its next assault, next month's hotly anticipated epic _The_Prince_of_Egypt_.

At the end of the day, to follow this tutorial, along with the supplies you already should have (M-F jumpers, breadboard, Raspberry Pi), you will also need an H-Bridge (L298n), four motors, power for the motors, and some sort of frame. I went ahead and just bought a kit for simplicity, but this is extremely open-ended. The same motors I used can be found on ebay very easily. Just type in Raspberry Pi motors. They are cheap and weak. Feel free to hunt for something better.
In order to achieve true wire-less, you will also need a wifi dongle (search for "edimax wifi") and some sort of power supply. The Raspberry Pi wants 5v ~1000mA. Since we use cell phone chargers, it only makes sense to use a portable cell phone battery pack. I used an ankur pencil charger, which provided plenty of power. Use whatever you like.
Frame/wheels that I bought:
These two together:
SainSmart 4WD Drive Aluminum Mobile Robot Platform for Robot Arduino UNO MEGA2560 R3 Duemilanove *Silver*+
SainSmart L298N Dual H Bridge Stepper Motor Driver Controller Board Module for Arduino UNO MEGA R3 Mega2560 Duemilanove Nano RobotOr you can just buy:
SainSmart Mobile Car Kit with Sensor Shield V5 + 4WD Mobile Platform + Dual H Bridge Stepper Motor Driver + HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor + UNO/UNO R3/Mega2560/Mega R3(optional) for Arduino (UNO, Silver)The wifi dongle:

My name is Rachid Belaid, I grew up and studied in Belgium. I recently moved to San Francisco and joined Opendoor after living in London for 6 years.
I am an experienced software engineer who has worked with a number of technologies, with Python and Postgres in particular being my strong suit. I'm also using Go and Javascript on my day to day programming but love to learn about new technologies whenever better for some problems. I also experiment with technologies like Elixir and Haskell.
Pome is a Postgres Metrics Dashboard written in Go and using React. You can read more about the project here
Suma is microservice to manage and control links to external urls within your project. Suma can be used to block external links from your application to fight spam and phishing attacks, but Suma also can extract information from urls as screenshots, titles, or content to provide previews.

Over the last 10 years, I have worked for multiple companies, giving me the chance to work on various projects, including building few new products from the ground up. Not all of these projects were public facing, and some are not live anymore.
Below you can find a few of the projects that I worked on from mid-2013 to 2015, when I co-founded Lost Property, a Tech Agency based in London, which we closed when I moved to San Francisco.
Cat in a Flat is a cat-sitting platform to connect cat owners in London with potential cat-sitters around them in just a few clicks. You can compare this project to a kind of Airbnb or Rover to find Cat-sitters. For this project, I did that full stack development including Ops.
Some of the technologies used are:

Launched on Kickstarter, Warblr identifies bird species by listening to their chirps. Similar to song-identifying apps like Shazam and SoundHound, Warblr uses your smartphone to record a nearby bird song and then analyse it to determine the species. You can read more about this project here
Some of the technologies used:
Seabeard is a mobile game in which you follow in the footsteps of the great captain Seabeard, and discover a giant ocean teeming with islands to explore! Seabeard is a pirate-based adventure game that sees you exploring, trading, fighting and much more. This game allows you to play with your friends and relies on lot of web services.
For this project, I built the Backend for the game and you can read more about this project here
Some of the technologies used are:
All Things Hair is a platform filled with hair styling tutorials from leading video bloggers which can be filtered and searched to find that perfect style for you to express yourself. The content isn’t arbitrary however, rather selected based on Google searches. All Things Hair is using Google data to see what customers are searching for and then asks bloggers to make videos to meet the demand.
For this project, I did the followings:

Almond Chicken Recipe
Summer 2016
Created from Dealgnaid's memory of a dish from a downriver Detroit Chinese restaurant..
Stuff Needed- Rice
- Breaded Chicken:
- Almonds
- Panko breadcrumbs
- Butter or Egg
- Broccoli
- Water chestnuts
- Tiny corns
- Garlic
- Sauce:
- Corn starch
- Chicken broth or bouillon
- Soy sauce
- Worsterchershire sauce
- Butter
- Make rice
- Start roasting garlic??? (When have I ever put in roast garlic?)
- Prep veggies (Chop broccoli, corns, waterchest nuts if desired but they're good whole too)
- Do chicken:
- Chop almonds fine. Better to food process -- Large almond chunks don't cooperate as breading.
- Mix almonds with panko, add spices
- Melt butter; Roll chicken in butter --> panko (Use a high walled baking pan; Found panko burns on cookie sheet @ 425F )
- Bake at 400-425F for 20 minutes. (Chicken mini strips 2" long, 1/2" wide, 1/4" thick. Endpoint is low moisture (quite well done.))
- Do veggies:
- Steam broccoli first, then remove? (I've been lazy, throwing broccoli in with a bit of moisture in pan and putting a lid over it does the job without getting steamer basket set up.)
- Pan fry waterchestnuts and garlic. Add tiny corns in a bit later, and add broccoli back in a bit later. Don't forget to make it taste!
- Set veggies aside to make room for sauce
- Do sauce
- Don't turn on burner until everything is in pan; It's a lot easier if the corn starch isn't thickening while hunting down all the ingredients to add.
- Mix ~1-2 Tablespoons corn starch and ~0.75 - 1.5 Tablespoons water together in a cup, smooth in pan
- Add ~0.5 - 1 cup of chicken stock. (I typically just add some bouillon and water.)
- Add ~2 Tablespoons butter
- Add Worsterchershire sauce, soy sauce, 2 drops of lemon, salt, pepper, whatever else smells good.
- Bring to light boil to activate the corn starch thickening action. If it doesn't thicken, add a little bit more cornstarch / water solution at a time.


Class: WCC::Contentful::Model
- Inherits:

Object
- Object
- WCC::Contentful::Model
- Includes:
- ModelAPI
- Defined in:
- lib/wcc/contentful/model.rb
Overview
This is the top layer of the WCC::Contentful gem. It exposes an API by which you can query for data from Contentful. The API is only accessible after calling WCC::Contentful.init!
The WCC::Contentful::Model class is the base class for all auto-generated model classes. A model class represents a content type inside Contentful. For example, the “page” content type is represented by a class named WCC::Contentful::Model::Page
This WCC::Contentful::Model::Page class exposes the following API methods:
-
Page.find(id) finds a single Page by it's ID
-
Page.find_by(field: <value>) finds a single Page with the matching value for the specified field
-
Page.find_all(field: <value>) finds all instances of Page with the matching value for the specified field. It returns a lazy iterator of Page objects.
The returned objects are instances of WCC::Contentful::Model::Page, or whatever constant exists in the registry for the page content type. You can register custom types to be instantiated for each content type. If a Model is subclassed, the subclass is automatically registered. This allows you to put models in your app's `app/models` directory:
class Page < WCC::Contentful::Model::Page; end
and then use the API via those models:
# this returns a ::Page, not a WCC::Contentful::Model::Page
Page.find_by(slug: 'foo')
Furthermore, anytime links are automatically resolved, the registered classes will be used:
Menu.find_by(name: 'home')..first.linked_page # is a ::Page

It helps you be lazy automate repetitive tasks.
Grunt can take care of many of the repetitive tasks we do everyday.
Grab a copy of the example project to work from.
(https://github.com/MongooseDoom/grunt-example)
Examples of the end result are in the examples
folder within the project.
npm install -g grunt-cli
Note: This does not install the task runner. It just allows you to run multiple versions of Grunt. Grunt works more on a per project basis.
You'll need to setup these two files in the root of your project
npm init
General info about your project and manages dependencies
{
"name": "donuts-are-delicious",
"version": "0.1.0",
"devDependencies": {
"grunt": "~0.4.1",
"grunt-contrib-imagemin": "^0.8.0"
}
}
What else you could add to your package.json fileThe main setup file that contains the configuration of the
tasks we install.
module.exports = function(grunt) {
// 1. All configuration goes here
grunt.initConfig({
pkg: grunt.file.readJSON('package.json'),
// 2. Configuration for each task
imagemin: {
...
}
});
// 3. Where we tell Grunt we plan to use this plug-in.
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-imagemin');
// 4. Where we tell Grunt what to do when we type "grunt" into the terminal.
grunt.registerTask('default', ['imagemin']);
};
Once you have your package.json file you can install all the dependencies you specified using the following command:
npm install
In the package.json example, we listed grunt
and grunt-contrib-imagemin
as our dependencies.
npm install grunt-contrib-sass --save-dev
The --save-dev
flag means our package.json file gets automatically updated to include the dependency we've just installed
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
This tells Grunt to load tasks from the specified Grunt plugin.
grunt.initConfig({
...
sass: { // Task
dist: {
options: {
style: 'expanded', // Output style
sourcemap: true // Use source maps
},
files: {
'css/styles.css': 'scss/styles.scss' // Output path : Sass path
}
}
},
imagemin: {
dynamic: { // Another target
files: [{
expand: true, // Enable dynamic expansion
cwd: 'examples/images/', // Src matches are relative to this path
src: ['**/*.{png,jpg,gif}'], // Actual patterns to match
dest: 'images/' // Destination path prefix
}]
}
},
...
});
In this example, we have the configuration for the sass and imagemin tasks.
grunt.registerTask('default', ['sass']);
grunt.registerTask('images', ['imagemin','sprite']);
In this example, running grunt
in the command line without specifying a task will run the sass task. Running grunt images
would run the imagemin and sprite task

Read the passage given below and answer the questions
Passage 1
In its more extreme forms persecution mania is a recognized form of insanity.
Some people imagine that others wish to kill them, or imprison them, or
to do them some other grave injury. Often the wish to protect themselves
against imaginary persecutors leads them into acts of violence which make
it necessary to restrain their liberty. This, like many other forms of
insanity, is only an exaggeration of a tendency not at all uncommon among
people who count as normal. I do not propose to discuss the extreme forms,
which are a matter for a psychiatrist. It is the milder forms that I wish
to consider, because they are a very frequent cause of unhappiness, and
because, not having gone so far as toe produce definite insanity, they
are still capable of being dealt with by the patient himself, provided
he can be induced to diagnose the trouble rightly and to see that its
origin lies within himself and not in the supposed hostility or unkindness
of others.
We are all familiar with the type of person, man or woman, who according to his own account, is perpetually the victim of ingratitude, unkindness, and treachery. People of this kind are often extraordinarily plausible, and secure warm sympathy from those who have not known them long, There is, as a rule, nothing inherently improbable about each separate story that they relate. The kind of ill-treatment of which they complain does undoubtedly sometimes occur. What in the end rouses the hearers suspicions is the multiplicity of villains whom it has been the sufferers ill-fortune to meet with.
In accordance with the doctrine of probability, different people living in a given society are likely in the course of their lives to meet with about the same amount of bad treatment. Of one person in a given set receives, according to his own account, universal ill-treatment, the likelihood is that the cause lies in himself, and that the either imagines injuries from which in fact he has not suffered, or unconsciously behaves in such a way as to arouse uncontrollable irritation. Experienced people therefore becomes suspicious of those who by their own account are invariable ill-treated by the world; they tend, by their lack of sympathy, to confirm these unfortunate people in the view that everyone is against them. The trouble, in fact is a difficult one to deal with, since it is inflamed alike by sympathy and by lack of sympathy. The person inclined to persecution mania, when he finds a hard-luck story believed, will embellish it until he reaches the frontier of credibility; when, on the other had, he finds it disbelieved, he has merely another example of the peculiar hard-heartedness, and this understanding , and this understanding must be conveyed to the patient if its is to serve its purpose.
176. Persecution mania
is
a form of temporary insanity.
an exaggerated form of insanity.
in its more extreme forms, an incurable form of insanity
none of the above.
177. The liberty of
a person suffering from extreme persecution mania has to restrained because
his ills are imaginary
he might turn violent
he is insane
none of these.
178. The author would
seem to suggest that
persecution is present in most normal people.
like persecution, many other forms of insanity quite uncommon in many
normal people.
[1] & [2]
in a milder form, many forms of insanity are common among normal people.
179. The author feels
that the milder variety of persecution mania can be dealt with by the
patient himself because
his affliction has not so far produced definite
insanity.
he can induce himself to diagnose his trouble rightly.
he can realize that the origin of his disease lies in himself.
[2] & [3].
180. All the following
facts, about people suffering from mild persecution mania are true, except
that
they are apparently reasonable.
there is nothing improbable about the stories they tell.
the kind of ill-treatments they complain of do sometimes occur.
they get warm sympathy from those who have known them for long.
Passage 2
After singing for their supper, bees sleep soundly.
An expenditure led by Dr.John Joseph from the University of Aarhus in Denmark went to Brazil to see how bees manage their energy supplies. It concentrated on the grounds of the Biological Museum in Santa Teresa, 500 kilometers north of Rio de Janeiro.
The park boasts of 3,200 wild bees from 15 species, including the tiny Lophornis Magnifica, whose name refers to its green, red, and white plumange rather than its size. Its body would fir onto this paragraph with room to spare.
They found that a hovering ten-gram bees used about half a liter of oxygen every hour. In terms of oxygen per gram, that is about ten times the amount an energetic person might use up in the same time. To pump all this oxygen around its body a bees heartbeat has to be high about 1,440 beats per minute, compared to around 110 for an exercising human. The oxygen is used to burn up food, making the energy that keeps the bird warm and powers its wings. Eating lets it hover, and hovering lets it eat.
During the day such an energetic metabolism keeps a bees body temperature at about 40° c. But the bees cannot store enough food in their tiny bodies to keep their temperature that high all night. So, at night L. Magnifica slows its metabolism enough to cut its body temperature by 20-30° c. It may breathe around 50-100 times less oxygen than during the day, which means that it uses by 50-100 times less food. It works well, but it does mean that waking up is hard to do.
Dr. Joseph found that
the bees uses almost as much oxygen shivering itself awake in the morning
as it does when hovering. It takes the bees about 15-20 minutes to raise
its temperature back up to is day-time level all the time using
up energy. With only small food reserves, the bees especially small
ones like L. Magnifica sometimes get only one chance to wake up.
If they nod off again, they sleep the sleep of the dead.
181. Which of the following statement is false?
There are only 15 species of the bees in the world.
Of the bees found on the grounds of the Biological Museum in Santa Teresa,
Lophornis
magnifica is one of the tiniest.
The bees survive on fluid from flowers.
The name Lophornis magnifica does not refer to the size of the bee.
182.
The bees needs to maintain a high rate of heart beat
to send the abnormally high amount of oxygen round its body.
to digest food.
to generate energy.
to keep itself warm.
183. Which of the following statements is false?
The less the weight of a bees, the greater are its chances of dying in
its torpor.
A normal human being needs less than a half a litre of oxygen per hour.
The task of the expedition led by Dr-Joseph was to examine how bees managed
their energy
supplies.
184. Which of the following statements is true ?
The bees eats while it hovers.
In order to keep its night temperature low the bees eats little at night.
Eating gives the bees energy to hover and hovering makes it hungry.
The larger the body of a bees, the faster it hovers.
185. Which of
the following measures, even if successfully adopted, is unlikely to bring
down the death rate among bees?
A device to shorten the time span the bees take to raise their body temperature
while waking up.
A device to make them store more energy in their bodies before and during
their sleep
Making them take more nutritious food than fluid from the flowers.
A device to make them breathe at night at the same rate as during the
day.

At the airport, trying to sum up my impressions from Percona Live 2013 conference in Santa Clara.
Woo! Hard to sum up four excellent days. Shall I review the great talks I've been to? The keynotes? The well organized events?
You know what, skip it. There was ONE thing that overshadowed everything. It was the ONE thing for me that was the pure essence of the conference and its greatest joy:
Meeting and talking to a great many great people!
I was fortunate to meet up with so many people; none that I planned; things just went in such way that I engaged in so many conversations with so many people. I found myself talking about hamsters, peacocks, living in the village, living in the city, working from home, commute, relocation, working with your spouse, life in Israel, life in Argentina, prisons in the US, having many children, gun control, politics (heaven forbid!), fruit, vegetables, breakfasts, open source, community, buying (non-expensive) presents to your kids, new ventures, zen, philosophy, capitalism, socialism, books, being who you are, weddings, Java, scripting, NoSQL, how to contribute to an open source project, ... the list goes on.
I was "adopted" by the PalominoDB team at Pedro's, crash-partied on Pythian fellows, talked technical (or non technical) with Tokutek guys, meeting up with Oracle people (finally I get the faces behind the names!); the companies do not matter, I'm just throwing in names. The people are awesome! Representing their companies on the technical side, and being purely interesting people on the personal side, I met with men and women from all over the community. Apologies: impossible to list all nor account for!
It's great to have a place and time where we all meet together.
The bottom line? I am fortunate to have my current profession: I enjoy my work, and the people I meet are fantastic and of the highest quality!
Thanks all with whom I've met, and for all of those with whom I haven't had the chance to speak: see you next time!

My boyfriend came home from the club at around 1AM with ten green pills. I had previously expressed interest in wanting to try X for the first time. I was convinced that x was going to be similar to an acid 'trip' but with more euphoria or something. I couldn't have been more wrong.
I am 30 years old and have BiPolar II disorder. I have been on and off ssri drugs for seven years. I have always been an intense, fearful, anxiety-ridden, nutjob with major self-esteem issues. I've spent my whole life working through this.
1:15 AM: When I took the first dose, it was a half of a pill out of fear of the unknown. My BF took a whole one and suggested we go lie down in bed for awhile.
1:25 AM: I started to become aware of the fact that I was feeling very calm and mellow- not intoxicated at all. This was pleasant, but instead of becoming exitable or manic, I was for once, satisfied to just shut up and enjoy.
2 AM: After awhile of talking about theoretical physics and just sort of bonding, we began to crave music. I got out my iPod and went thru my mp3s but nothing seemed fitting. I have a lot of EBM and industrial on there. Eventually, I just gave up and let my BF put on some of his music. Trance. Not the kind of stuff I'm usually into but in this case, it was really just nice. I am usually a music Nazi who takes control of the playlist for the night but I was feeling very pliable and agreeable and quiet. I wanted to *listen* for once. I wanted to open up and receive instead of control or get stressed out about details.
2:30 AM: I began to crave more 'feeling' and since I was sure 1/2 a dose was too weak by now, I felt ready to take a whole one now. The BF also took another whole and a half. I began to feel very much like my BF and I were connected without my having to run my mouth or influence the bonding experience whatsoever. I was pleased to just be quiet and watch and listen. I felt that he could leave the house and walk down the street and we would still be in the same room somehow. I felt very secure and loved and had no need to question or doubt this. At this point I felt free to tune out and listen to my headphone while he did the same. Just being in the same room with him was enough and I didn't feel obligated to be 'entertaining' or to attract attention to myself at all.
3:30 AM I took the other half of his pill and he took another whole. I wanted to keep the feeling going. We decided to lie back in bed and talk for awhile. We made love and it was very slow and just lovely. I had the sensation of being almost virginal in my openess to accept the experience without the intense rush to achieve orgasm. It just felt nice to feel him inside of me.
We came together. It was as if we'd made the decision to do so and then just executed that plan simply and purely. It was beautiful and extremely pleasurable without being lustful or too intense. Afterwards, we lie in bed for what felt like hours, just holding each other and kissing. This was an unusual sort of post-coital cuddling, in that I didn't feel the typical desire to have my own greedy need for affection sated, rather, I wanted only to make *him* feel good.
5:00 AM: I was ready to fall asleep. I drifted off to the sound of my BF speaking to me in a soft voice. My BF said that these were a little on the weak side and that my next roll would probably be better.
AFTERWARD: The next day, I felt refreshed spiritually and emotionally. I felt as though burdens had been lifted from me and I could see and respond to things clearly and calmly. This continued over the course of the two days after the roll. I felt as though I had been lifted into the state of euphoria and was being gently placed back down onto my feet. There was no big 'crash' per se. just a feeling of going back to normal and a mild disappointment at that fact. I should note here that I still take prescribed SSRI drugs daily for depression.
The experience was pleasant and not harsh at all the way an acid trip is. There's just no comparison. I feel that the experience was truly therapeutic in a way that is permanent and indescribable. I *finally* comprehend what it means to 'mellow out,' and I now feel capable of doing so in 'the real world' when I start to become frustrated, anxious or manic. I have been able to apply this newfound comprehension on a few occasions already in my real life.

The River Orwell flows through the county of Suffolk in England. It broadens into an estuary at Ipswich and then flows into the North Sea at Felixstowe after joining with the River Stour at Shotley.
Harwich is positioned on the estuaries of the Stour and Orwell rivers.
Harwich/River Orwell and the surrounding port (including Felixstowe) is a very active area for shipping and for large, high-speed ferries. It is very important that yachts follow the yacht track and stay well clear of the main channel. Also, though Harwich has a customs port, other marinas on the River Orwell (particularly Ipswich) have clearance facilities and it may be advisable to use them rather than bother with the busy-ness and traffic of the Harwich port.
Very soft mud so keep close to pontoon.
Walton and Frinton Yacht Trust’s Yacht Basin in Mill Lane, Walton on the Naze has had a makeover with the installation of new pontoons, complementing the neighbouring Walton & Frinton YC’s new clubhouse, which provides modern toilets and showers as well as a bar and catering facilities during most of the week.

--- layout: template menu : bench title : Performance benchmarks ---
In this section, we will perform a benchmark with JMH to measure the potential overhead you may have using Easy Batch.
The goal of the benchmark is to measure Easy Batch performance for reading, parsing and mapping data to domain objects. We will not include record processing logic since it heavily depends on the use case.
We will perform two benchmarks:
We will generate random input data with 1 000 , 10 000, 100 000 and 1 000 000 records using jPopulator.
The input Csv file has the following format:
#id,firstName,lastName,birthDate,email,phone,street,zipCode,city,country
1,foo,bar,1990-12-13,foo@bar.org,0123456789,street1,zipCode1,london,uk
2,bar,foo,1990-10-12,bar@foo.org,9876543210,street2,zipCode2,newyork,usa
The input XML file has the following format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<customers>
<customer>
<id>1</id>
<firstName>foo</firstName>
<lastName>bar</lastName>
<birthDate>1990-12-13</birthDate>
<EMAIL_ADDRESS><phone>0123456789</phone>
<street>street1</street>
<zipCode>zipCode1</zipCode>
<city>london</city>
<country>uk</country>
</customer>
<customers>
The domain object Customer
is defined as follows:
@XmlRootElement
public class Customer {
private int id;
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
private Date birthDate;
private String email;
private String phone;
private String street;
private String zipCode;
private String city;
private String country;
//Getters and setters omitted
}
The complete source code of the this benchmark can be found here.
To run the CSV or XML benchmarks, launch the following commands in the easybatch-bench
directory :
mvn clean install
java -Dorg.easybatch.bench.count=10000 -cp "easybatch-bench-{{ site.version }}.jar:dependency/*" org.easybatch.bench.CsvBenchmark
mvn clean install
java -Dorg.easybatch.bench.count=10000 -cp "easybatch-bench-{{ site.version }}.jar:dependency/*" org.easybatch.bench.XmlBenchmark
;
classpath separator in the previous commands as follows:
-cp "easybatch-bench-{{ site.version }}.jar;dependency/*"
Use the JVM property -Dorg.easybatch.bench.count
to specify the number of records to generate.
By default, the directory java.io.tmpdir
is used to generate the input files (which will be deleted at the end of benchmark execution).
You can change this default directory by setting the JVM property -Djava.io.tmpdir=path_to_tmp_directory
.
Results presented in this section have been obtained by running the benchmark on the following configuration:
| OS | Mac OS X 10.9.3 |
| Processor | Intel Core i7 2 GHz |
| Memory | 8 Go |
| Java runtime | Oracle Jdk "1.7.0_51" 64 bits |
The following tables summarize the record number, the file size and the processing time for each benchmark:
| Record number | CSV file size (Ko) | Processing time (ms) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 000 | 99 | 8 |
| 10 000 | 991 | 81 |
| 100 000 | 9 907 | 670 |
| 1 000 000 | 99 081 | 6 940 |

Values of these results are the average of 3 executions.
Up to 100 000 records, Easy Batch processing time is less than 1 second for both CSV and XML processing.
For a very high amount of data (1 million records), Easy Batch processing time remains less than 7 seconds for CSV records and about 30 seconds for XML records which is very reasonable for a standard configuration.
Please note that these results are those of a serial execution of the benchmark, a parallel version of the benchmark will be available in a future release.
To conclude, there is practically no performance overhead using Easy Batch.


Reports non-short-circuit operations consuming an infinite stream. Such operations can be completed only by throwing an exception.
Example:
Stream.iterate(0, i -> i + 1).collect(Collectors.toList())

I am a Computer Science graduate student with a focus on Intelligent Systems specialization at UT Dallas.
Implemented the ID3 algorithm to induce decision tree using two heuristics (Information gain and variance) on datasets generated synthetically by sampling Boolean CNF. Achieved 98.5% accuracy on 1800 clauses.
Developed an email classification filter using variants of Naïve Bayes and Logistic Regression algorithms. Achieved a maximum accuracy of 99% and a precision of 100% on the Multinomial Naïve Bayes algorithm.
Developed user-based collaborative filtering (on Netflix dataset) used by recommendation systems. Significantly reduced computation time by using NumPy and data imputation techniques.
Implemented the k-means clustering algorithm to compress images and analyzed the trade-offs between image quality and degree of compression.
Designed and developed a native application that interfaces with a backend SQL database implementing LMS. Various modules involve book search, check out/check-in, borrower management and fines management.
Constructed tree Bayesian Networks using the Chow-Liu algorithm to learn the structure and parameters of the network. Extended models further by mixture of trees using expectation maximization and random forests.
Python-based productivity hack tool that blocks a custom list of websites during working hours, leveraging windows task scheduler on a personal computer.

A model simulating the dynamics of a whooping crane populations under varying management choices and demographic assumptions.
The model was designed by M. E. McPhee<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and Nic McPhee (mcphee@morris.umn.edu), and implemented by Nic McPhee.
Number of independent simulations to run
Number of years to simulate in each run
Initial number of cranes
Initial proportion of early nesters (cranes that prefer to nest before black flies)
Total carrying capacity (maximum number of cranes)
Pairing age (years)
Nesting probability for each mating pair (per year)
Collection probability (per early nest, per year)
Release count (per year)
Renesting probability (odds that a pair renests when their nest fails, either naturally or due to collection)
Egg conversion rate (probability that a wild, i.e., late nest, egg will hatch and eventually fledge)
Mutation rate (probability of switching between early and late nester)
Mature mortality probability (per year)
