Last month we ran a workshop at Stellenbosch University in South Africa. The workshop instructors were Laurent Gatto (from the UK - coming in as remote instructor), and two local instructors - David Merand and Anelda van der Walt. We had four helpers in the room and 32 participants.
Key points from remote instructor's point of view:
Local instructors and helpers should actively facilitate interaction between remote instructor and participants.
High quality sound and visuals are essential.
It is very hard for the remote instructor to help build better instructors (see below for more details).
Cultural differences may be hard to appreciate for the remote instructor and may cause break down of communication.
Key points from host point of view:
We experienced the remote instruction to be almost as successful as having a more experienced instructor present in person and will certainly run remote sessions again.
We felt that the remote instructor was definitely losing out on the "highs" of the workshop - the networking after day one, the conversations during breaks, and the good byes after all is said and done.
It is critical that the local instructors do not appear to "own" the communication with the remote instructor (I often acted like an interpreter between participants and Laurent and should have encouraged them to talk directly with Laurent rather).
It might be even more important to on-board helpers early on in planning phases of remote instructed workshops to build a relationship with the remote instructor before the workshop starts.
The Remote Instructor's Experience:
Interaction is key, even more so than in front of the class, where it generally happens, while remotely, it has to be actively promoted. When teaching locally, it is the speaker that is the centre of the interaction; when teaching remotely, the local helpers have to drive and take over parts of the interaction.
Remote instructor: be able to see participants: ideally, have 2+ screens to see the participants and the shared screen. For the students, it might even be useful to have a small window with the presenter. Aim is to make is as personal as possible, enable some spontaneity and make it apparent; in other words as different as possible from a pre-recorded video. This makes it technically a bit more challenging (several screens/projectors in addition to sound to manage).
(From the host) I think having another window on the laptop (single screen might not be manageable for participants switching between RStudio, Etherpad, course material, and then also the video link.
To facilitate interaction, have a way for students to report back on specific questions/issues (rather than tell them they can ask the etherpad chat whenever they want). I used the etherpad for this
Most important point. The local instructor/organiser should promote interaction by asking questions, and informing the remote instructor when to carry on after an exercise. The sessions I taught on the second day seemed to flow more smoothly with Anelda's support. I would go as far as having some pre-defined questions the local instructor should ask to demonstrate that interrupting the voice that comes from the microphone is perfectly acceptable, even encouraged.
I have the feeling that the pace of a lesson is much slower when remote teaching. It is important to be particularly clear and repeat essential points multiple times, ask if everything is clear and one should not expect that no answer means that it is actually clear. Hence the importance of the local instructor to participate in the questions/answers.
Obvious, but can't be emphasised enough: quality of sound and video are essential. We used Google Hangouts and, despite some non-catastrophic issues, it worked reasonably well (from the remote instructor's point of view, at least).
Computer labs and excellent network infrastructure might just be an absolute requisite for remote teaching...
Regarding costs, there is bound to be some financial investment, in particular if the goal is to make remote teaching as effective as in-person teaching. I think we will have to gain experience to assess the additional costs (equipment, software, ...) and student/instructor experience of remote teaching to assess have a better idea of real costs.
This leads me to the following questions:
Due to the number of SWC bootcamps that are organised around the world and the benevolent nature of the activity, it is not possible to always guarantee the presence of an experienced instructor. To provide some support to new groups and initiatives that emerge, being able to have somebody with some experience joining remotely is hence an interesting alternative, that directly addresses the aforementioned shortcoming. It enables to expand the SC network, events and instructors, albeit, as I will try to argue, in a more diffuse way.
Communication during the classes is more difficult due to the remote nature of the exchange. This lessened interaction happens in the actual teaching, but also in the perceiving of the difficulties of the students, the informal discussion that break the ice, the opportunity for instructors to act as helpers when they don't teach a lesson, ... and the inability to perceive and adapt to cultural differences (if we remote teach, if might be because the course is in a remote location). There is hence substantial aspects of the quality that can be missed out, but there is no doubt that by gaining experience in remote teaching, adjusting the teaching material and familiarisation with adequate infrastructure will lift, or at least reduce many of this current limitations.
Another aspect that is missing is the opportunity to build better teachers. As a remote teacher, it is hardly possible to listen to a full day of teaching, let alone participate in the direct support during the exercises, and hence discuss the course, learn from the experience and support the new instructors beyond the mere content. This is a rather crucial absence in the training of new and seasoned instructors.
The Host's Experience:
In April Greg announced an opportunity to run remote workshops on the Software Carpentry "discuss" mailing list. We decided to take the opportunity to run a SWC workshop with remote instruction as at that stage we only had one qualified instructor in South Africa. Our idea was that running successful remote instructed workshops would decrease costs and thus uptake dramatically and will make SWC workshops more accessible for resource-poor universities. Our general experience was very positive and I will definitely encourage local universities to run workshops with remote instruction if they are unable to fund international travel for instructors. There are however a few critical points that may influence the success of the workshop - if success is defined as:
convincing students and researchers with limited computational background that they can use scientific computing tools as taught by SWC, in their own environments;
creating an awareness of where help can be found when researchers are experiencing challenges with computational aspects of their projects;
building a community of researchers using similar tools for data analysis — in other words, starting a conversation between people who might not have known about each other if the SWC workshop did not take place; and
providing a platform for young researchers and students to practice their teaching skills
It is also important for the host to realise that other expenses might kick in when running remote instructed workshops - most notably is probably the cost of streaming video for two days if a host institution does not provide "free" internet access.
Lastly, both David and I was concerned for the remote instructor - is it as rewarding to do remote teaching as it is to build rapport with students and other instructors and helpers when you're physically participating in training?
Laurent: Indeed, the social aspects are absent. But then, the point is to avoid the travelling - one can't have advantages of both formats. It we focus on the interaction during the teaching, then the most important (social) aspects of the teaching could be preserved.
Finding an Instructor:
Greg helped us to find a great instructor who was up for the challenge. I think experience is key.
Helpers:
It might be even more important to draw in the helpers from an earlier stage in the planning phase to ensure they get to know the remote instructor and really feel part of the team. This could enhance communication during the actual workshop and give the remote instructor and helpers that extra opportunity to interact which is lost during the remote instruction. Earlier introduction and participation might also help with David's point below. Getting one or two extra helpers (to make up for the absence of the physical presence of the remote instructor) is probably a good idea. We could have made good use of one or two more helpers.
David: We also need to empower the helpers so that they can alert the instructor if there are any issues that need addressing, items that need further explanation and so forth.
Laurent on David's comment: Probably one of the most important lessons of this remote teaching experience, as far as I am concerned.
Curriculum and Communication Before the Workshop:
I didn't experience the communication before the workshop much different from any other workshop. At our previous workshop we met several times via Google Hangouts or Skype to discuss the upcoming workshop too as instructors were scattered over three continents. It worked well.
Due to the relative inexperience of participants (most have never programmed before) and the added risk of running a remote workshop we decided to only teach the R curriculum with some extras added by Laurent on ggplot2 and R Markdown. We also planned on doing a GitHub demo so that people were at least exposed to version control. Unfortunately very limited time remained for the GitHub demo and we experienced inexplicable tech challenges just at that point. People did hear about git/GitHub and version control throughout the two day training, but had limited opportunity to see it in action.
This also reduced the problems experienced with setting up participants' laptops - they only needed to install R and RStudio. Only one student on an older version of Mac had challenges there, but one of our helpers (Raissa) was able to fix that.
Organising IT/AV Support Locally:
We tried to use Lync initially but switched to Google Hangouts the day before the workshop as none of us were too familiar with Lync (Skype for Business). I would rather in future set out to use Google Hangouts again as most learners/instructors are already familiar with the software and troubleshooting is much easier if that is the case. Also it relieves some pressure of relying on University IT support during the workshop. It does mean that not all participants can log into the remote instructor's session, but I suspect even if everyone logged in, the pressure on local wifi might be too much and sound may still be a challenge as people might forget to mute their speakers and sound.
The computer running the Google Hangout session was connected to the internet via Ethernet cable rather than wifi. All participants were connected to wifi with no problems there.
Finding a suitable venue:
Sound: Using a venue with a built-in sound system rather than relying on the sound of a computer/laptop is critical. Our venue had a great sound system with microphone that could pick up sound from the back of the room (if people spoke up). The sound was also very evenly distributed in the room and people in the front and back of the class could hear equally well.
Our main challenge in terms of sound was sound clipping which may be caused by the software itself or by the connectivity.
Visuals: Everyone in the room could see the two screens projected in the front. We asked the remote instructor to increase the font in RStudio slightly but generally the projected material was equally visible from anywhere in the room.
Interaction During the Workshop:
As organiser and co-instructor, I was never frustrated with having a remote instructor on board during the course. Because I was constantly engaging with our remote instructor, to me it was as if he was in the room in a way. I believe others in the room had a different experience because very few participants (except maybe our other local instructor) engaged directly with the remote instructor, even during breaks or when he was asking questions.
It's important to not create the idea that the microphone belongs to the instructor(s) to speak to the remote instructor, but to quickly open up the communication channels between the participants and remote instructor. In future I will put much more effort into connecting individual participants with the remote instructor and encourage them to chat with him/her during breaks.
Our class was generally not very communicative and I'm not sure if this can be attributed to the remote instruction, cultural, something we did (or neglect to do) as local instructors, or some other factor. I don't think it had to do with the remote instruction.
David: I think the local instructors and helpers should play an active role throughout the workshop to ensure good two-way communication between participants and remote instructor. It might also be important to consider accents of remote instructors especially if English is not local participants' home language.
David: One of the major drawbacks for the remote instructor in my opinion was the lack of a whiteboard to be used for items such as drawing a flow chart, stepping through a loop showing the variables as they are initialised, printed whatever. I find I often want/need to stop using the material and engage with the class via a shared diagram created on the fly. This could perhaps be handled by the local instructor taking over at that point either of their own volition or when prompted by the remote instructor. There needs to be good synergy between the local and remote instructor in order to make this successful
Feedback sessions
After every session the local instructors (and later also the helpers) huddled around the main computer in front of the venue to discuss the session with our remote instructor. We quickly read through all the sticky notes and discussed some of them as the need aroused. I sometimes felt it would have been more comfortable to have these feedback sessions in a more private setting, but on the other hand participants could see we were meeting after each session and were taking their feedback into consideration.
Social Interaction:
As co-host, I really missed having the opportunity to thank our remote instructor properly by taking them out for dinner or treating them to some local experience.
Wrapping Up
The workshop ended very abruptly due to the technical challenges experienced when we wanted to run the GitHub demo around 17:00 on a Friday afternoon... We should have finished 10 minutes earlier instead and made sure that we thanked everyone properly (participants, instructors, and helpers). I think the last 15 minutes left many participants confused and dissatisfied hence some of the harsher feedback on pink sticky notes during the last session.
Everyone left without even saying goodbye to Laurent because at this stage his face wasn't up on the screen. Lesson learnt I would say :-)


David Gries (1981) pointed out that “your programming tools don’t have to determine how you think about programming”. He also made a distinction between programming in a language vs. programming into a language.
Programmers who program “in” a language limit their thoughts to constructs that the language directly supports. If the language tools are primitive, the programmers thoughts will be also be primitive.
Programmers who program “into” a language, first decide what thoughts they want to express, and then they determine how to express thoughts using the tools provided by their specific language.
So, try as much as you can to program into the language you use. If your language lacks constructs that you want to to use or is prone to other kinds of problems, try to compensate for them. Invent your own coding conventions, standards, class libraries, and other augmentations.

flibs/m_vfile - Manage assertions
This module provides an interface to check for assertions and generate corresponding errors.
This component is based on the m_exception module. The main service of the component is the subroutine "assert_assert" which check that the given logical variable is true. The following is a sample use. If the condition is not .true., then an exception of error type is raised by the m_exception module.
use m_assert, only : assert_assert integer :: x , y x = 2 y = x**2 call assert_assert ( y == 4 , "Wrong power value." )
The user can choose a more specific type of exception raised by choosing the correspondant assert_failure, assert_fatalError, assert_error, assert_warning or assert_information service.
The component can influence performances because of the internal computation performed to check the assertions, which may be undesirable in optimized mode. Therefore, the assertions are checked only if the pre-processing macro _ASSERT_ENABLE is defined. If it is undefined, there is no impact on performances.
The component can be dynamically enabled or disabled with assert_setenabled ; one can see if the component is currently enabled with assert_getenabled.
The user can check the number of assertions that were successful and the number of assertions which failed with assert_getcounters, and reset the internal counters with assert_initcounters.
To control more precisely the behaviour of the m_assert component when an exception occurs, the user can directly configure m_exception.

Service pattern for Apply online for a resident's parking permit
This page is for people who work in local authorities. It outlines a common pattern used for delivering resident's parking permits services effectively. Read more about service patterns.
What is the user need?
Residents need a place to park their car near their house. Parking permit services makes sure that parking spaces are only occupied by residents by making it illegal to park in a given area without a permit.
What do councils need from users to deliver the service?
- proof that the user lives in the area
- the registration number of the vehicle to be permitted
- payment (this is to support the cost of the service and will vary across councils and potentially within service, depending on the type of vehicle, engine size, parking zone and others)
What is the user journey?
At a high level, these are the steps users should need to go through.
1. Awareness
Users need to find out about the parking permits service before they need to park their car. There are a number of ways users could find out about the service.
- information from their solicitor when they buy their house
- information from the council when they sign up for council tax
- signage in the street
Local authorities should make sure the right information is being provided through these channels.
2. Finding the right council
Once the user has found out they need a permit, they need to get to the right council's website to apply. Users might start by typing 'parking permit' into a search engine, or they might start on the council where they think they need a permit.
The parking permits page on GOV.UK will send them to the right council's website once they enter their postcode. To make sure they are in the right place, councils should have a similar page which sends them to the right council's website if they are in the wrong place.
Councils can provide this functionality easily by using the open source component for the 'parking permits postcode checker'. (Source code link in progress)
See the example council page providing routing to the correct council
3. Council start page
Now the user is in the right place, the page on the council's website should communicate:
- the different types of permit the user can apply for (if applicable)
- where the permit they are applying for will allow them to park
- at what time the permit they are applying for will allow them to park
- how much the permit will cost
- how long the permit is valid for
- that they will need to prove where they live (using GOV.UK Verify)
- how long the process usually takes
4. Prove you are a resident
Using GOV.UK Verify, the user can securely prove their identity and their address.
At this point the council should check whether or not the person or the household already has a parking permit. For some councils this may affect the price, for others it might mean the user can not have another permit.
Step through the GOV.UK Verify journey prototype (username is pirate / password is bunting)5. Confirm address
GOV.UK Verify will send the council the user's address, as known by the user's chosen identity provider. On returning from the GOV.UK Verify process, the council should ask the user to confirm whether or not this is their current address.
See the example page asking users to confirm their name and addressAt this point the council should check whether or the user lives in the eligible area, and then show a message to the user confirming they are eligible.
- See the example page which says the user is eligible
- See the example page which says the user is not eligible
6. Pay
The fee will vary based on the fee calculation rules determined by each individual council.
See the example page of accepting payments.
Councils can accept payment via a number of channels, including checks, bank transfers or online payments. Councils can find a supplier on the Digital Marketplace.
In the future, councils will be able to accept payments using GOV.UK Pay.
7. Receive permit confirmation
After payment, the user needs to receive a confirmation of payment and an acknowledgement that their application has been successful. They should also receive information about how the permit will be enforced (See step 8).
The service should ask the user how they would like to receive this confirmation of payment, offering the choice of email, letter or text. See the example page on how to do this.
In the future, councils will be able to send this confirmation using GOV.UK Notify.
8. Checking permits
It's better for users and cheaper for government if the permits are issued electronically. Wardens check the permits by entering number plates into a database.
Councils who haven't yet moved over to an electronic permit system, should have a plan in place to move over.
In the meantime, councils should mention in the payment receipt
- how long they will need to wait for a permit to be posted to them
- where they can pick up their permit from to get it faster
- if they can print a temporary permit themselves while they wait for a permanent one
This information should also be communicated on the council's start page at the beginning of the user journey.
9. Renewals
Councils should remind users when it's time for them to renew their permits. They should do this using the same contact method as used in the payment receipt.
See the example renewal notification. (page in progress)

STAT
Section: Linux Programmer's Manual (2)Updated: 2009-04-21
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
stat, fstat, lstat - get file statusSYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int stat(const char *path, struct stat *buf);
int fstat(int fd, struct stat *buf);
int lstat(const char *path, struct stat *buf);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
lstat(): _BSD_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500
DESCRIPTION
These functions return information about a file. No permissions are required on the file itself, but --- in the case of stat() and lstat() --- execute (search) permission is required on all of the directories in path that lead to the file.
stat() stats the file pointed to by path and fills in buf.
lstat() is identical to stat(), except that if path is a symbolic link, then the link itself is stat-ed, not the file that it refers to.
fstat() is identical to stat(), except that the file to be stat-ed is specified by the file descriptor fd.
All of these system calls return a stat structure, which contains the following fields:
struct stat { dev_t st_dev; /* ID of device containing file */ ino_t st_ino; /* inode number */ mode_t st_mode; /* protection */ nlink_t st_nlink; /* number of hard links */ uid_t st_uid; /* user ID of owner */ gid_t st_gid; /* group ID of owner */ dev_t st_rdev; /* device ID (if special file) */ off_t st_size; /* total size, in bytes */ blksize_t st_blksize; /* blocksize for file system I/O */ blkcnt_t st_blocks; /* number of 512B blocks allocated */ time_t st_atime; /* time of last access */ time_t st_mtime; /* time of last modification */ time_t st_ctime; /* time of last status change */ };
The st_dev field describes the device on which this file resides. (The major(3) and minor(3) macros may be useful to decompose the device ID in this field.)
The st_rdev field describes the device that this file (inode) represents.
The st_size field gives the size of the file (if it is a regular file or a symbolic link) in bytes. The size of a symlink is the length of the pathname it contains, without a trailing null byte.
The st_blocks field indicates the number of blocks allocated to the file, 512-byte units. (This may be smaller than st_size/512 when the file has holes.)
The st_blksize field gives the "preferred" blocksize for efficient file system I/O. (Writing to a file in smaller chunks may cause an inefficient read-modify-rewrite.)
Not all of the Linux file systems implement all of the time fields. Some file system types allow mounting in such a way that file and/or directory accesses do not cause an update of the st_atime field. (See noatime, nodiratime, and relatime in mount(8), and related information in mount(2).) In addition, st_atime is not updated if a file is opened with the O_NOATIME; see open(2).
The field st_atime is changed by file accesses, for example, by execve(2), mknod(2), pipe(2), utime(2) and read(2) (of more than zero bytes). Other routines, like mmap(2), may or may not update st_atime.
The field st_mtime is changed by file modifications, for example, by mknod(2), truncate(2), utime(2) and write(2) (of more than zero bytes). Moreover, st_mtime of a directory is changed by the creation or deletion of files in that directory. The st_mtime field is not changed for changes in owner, group, hard link count, or mode.
The field st_ctime is changed by writing or by setting inode information (i.e., owner, group, link count, mode, etc.).
The following POSIX macros are defined to check the file type using the st_mode field:
-
- S_ISREG(m)
- is it a regular file?
- S_ISDIR(m)
- directory?
- S_ISCHR(m)
- character device?
- S_ISBLK(m)
- block device?
- S_ISFIFO(m)
- FIFO (named pipe)?
- S_ISLNK(m)
- symbolic link? (Not in POSIX.1-1996.)
- S_ISSOCK(m)
- socket? (Not in POSIX.1-1996.)
The following flags are defined for the st_mode field:
| S_IFMT | 0170000 | bit mask for the file type bit fields |
| S_IFSOCK | 0140000 | socket |
| S_IFLNK | 0120000 | symbolic link |
| S_IFREG | 0100000 | regular file |
| S_IFBLK | 0060000 | block device |
| S_IFDIR | 0040000 | directory |
| S_IFCHR | 0020000 | character device |
| S_IFIFO | 0010000 | FIFO |
| S_ISUID | 0004000 | set UID bit |
| S_ISGID | 0002000 | set-group-ID bit (see below) |
| S_ISVTX | 0001000 | sticky bit (see below) |
| S_IRWXU | 00700 | mask for file owner permissions |
| S_IRUSR | 00400 | owner has read permission |
| S_IWUSR | 00200 | owner has write permission |
| S_IXUSR | 00100 | owner has execute permission |
| S_IRWXG | 00070 | mask for group permissions |
| S_IRGRP | 00040 | group has read permission |
| S_IWGRP | 00020 | group has write permission |
| S_IXGRP | 00010 | group has execute permission |
| S_IRWXO | 00007 | mask for permissions for others (not in group) |
| S_IROTH | 00004 | others have read permission |
| S_IWOTH | 00002 | others have write permission |
| S_IXOTH | 00001 | others have execute permission |
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.ERRORS
- EACCES
- Search permission is denied for one of the directories in the path prefix of path. (See also path_resolution(7).)
- EBADF
- fd is bad.
- EFAULT
- Bad address.
- ELOOP
- Too many symbolic links encountered while traversing the path.
- ENAMETOOLONG
- File name too long.
- ENOENT
- A component of path does not exist, or path is an empty string.
- ENOMEM
- Out of memory (i.e., kernel memory).
- ENOTDIR
- A component of the path prefix of path is not a directory.
- EOVERFLOW
-
(stat())
path
refers to a file whose size cannot be represented in the type
off_t. This can occur when an application compiled on a 32-bit platform without -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 calls stat() on a file whose size exceeds (2<<31)-1 bits.
CONFORMING TO
These system calls conform to SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.Use of the st_blocks and st_blksize fields may be less portable. (They were introduced in BSD. The interpretation differs between systems, and possibly on a single system when NFS mounts are involved.)
POSIX does not describe the S_IFMT, S_IFSOCK, S_IFLNK, S_IFREG, S_IFBLK, S_IFDIR, S_IFCHR, S_IFIFO, S_ISVTX bits, but instead demands the use of the macros S_ISDIR(), etc. The S_ISLNK() and S_ISSOCK() macros are not in POSIX.1-1996, but both are present in POSIX.1-2001; the former is from SVID 4, the latter from SUSv2.
Unix V7 (and later systems) had S_IREAD, S_IWRITE, S_IEXEC, where POSIX prescribes the synonyms S_IRUSR, S_IWUSR, S_IXUSR.

NOTES
Since kernel 2.5.48, the stat structure supports nanosecond resolution for the three file timestamp fields. Glibc exposes the nanosecond component of each field using names either of the form st_atim.tv_nsec, if the _BSD_SOURCE or _SVID_SOURCE feature test macro is defined, or of the form st_atimensec, if neither of these macros is defined. On file systems that do not support sub-second timestamps, these nanosecond fields are returned with the value 0.On Linux, lstat() will generally not trigger automounter action, whereas stat() will.
For most files under the /proc directory, stat() does not return the file size in the st_size field; instead the field is returned with the value 0.
Underlying kernel interface
Over time, increases in the size of the stat structure have led to three successive versions of stat(): sys_stat() (slot __NR_oldstat), sys_newstat() (slot __NR_stat), and sys_stat64() (new in kernel 2.4; slot __NR_stat64). The glibc stat() wrapper function hides these details from applications, invoking the most recent version of the system call provided by the kernel, and repacking the returned information if required for old binaries. Similar remarks apply for fstat() and lstat().EXAMPLE
The following program calls stat() and displays selected fields in the returned stat structure.#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <time.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { struct stat sb; if (argc != 2) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s <pathname>\n", argv[0]); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } if (stat(argv[1], &sb) == -1) { perror("stat"); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } printf("File type: "); switch (sb.st_mode & S_IFMT) { case S_IFBLK: printf("block device\n"); break; case S_IFCHR: printf("character device\n"); break; case S_IFDIR: printf("directory\n"); break; case S_IFIFO: printf("FIFO/pipe\n"); break; case S_IFLNK: printf("symlink\n"); break; case S_IFREG: printf("regular file\n"); break; case S_IFSOCK: printf("socket\n"); break; default: printf("unknown?\n"); break; } printf("I-node number: %ld\n", (long) sb.st_ino); printf("Mode: %lo (octal)\n", (unsigned long) sb.st_mode); printf("Link count: %ld\n", (long) sb.st_nlink); printf("Ownership: UID=%ld GID=%ld\n", (long) sb.st_uid, (long) sb.st_gid); printf("Preferred I/O block size: %ld bytes\n", (long) sb.st_blksize); printf("File size: %lld bytes\n", (long long) sb.st_size); printf("Blocks allocated: %lld\n", (long long) sb.st_blocks); printf("Last status change: %s", ctime(&sb.st_ctime)); printf("Last file access: %s", ctime(&sb.st_atime)); printf("Last file modification: %s", ctime(&sb.st_mtime)); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); }

With about 98 percent of precincts reporting, Republican incumbent Steve Stivers won about 58.64 percent of the vote to reclaim Ohio’s 15th Congressional District seat, defeating Rick Neal Democratic challenger.
In Athens County, Neal received 63.11 percent of the vote, while Stivers got 34.47 percent.
Stivers will continue to represent the 15th district which holds 12 counties including the entirety of Athens, Clinton, Fairfield, Hocking, Madison, Morgan, Perry, Pickaway and Vinton counties and parts of Fayette, Franklin and Ross counties.
During his campaign, Stivers talked about reducing the cost of healthcare, expanding broadband access to rural areas and balancing the federal budget. Stiver passed legislation during his time in office which focused on growing the economy and creating jobs. Three of the bills he primarily sponsored became law. His most recent was H.R. 1900, a bill which created the National Veterans Memorial and Museum in Columbus.

Candidates for Ohio's 15th Congressional District in the U.S. House Rick Neal (left) and Steve Stivers (right) talk to each other before their debate on Oct. 22, 2018 at The Boat House Restaurant in Columbus.
According to a press release from Neal’s campaign, he called Stivers to urge him to stand up to the Republican party when President Trump demeans people and spreads fear around the country.
“I hope Steve Stivers will work with Democrats in Congress to bring real healthcare reform that lifts consumers and delivers healthcare to all Americans regardless of their income,” Neal said in the press release.
During a debate in Athens, the two candidates traded jabs at each other and disagreed on a lot of issues such as healthcare, the economy, civility and gerrymandering. The 15th District is one of many congressional districts in Ohio that are considered gerrymandered in favor of Republicans.
Stivers is also a Brigadier General in the Ohio Army National guard and the head of the National Republican Congressional Committee, the Republican Party’s main fundraising arm for campaigns.
During the campaign Rick Neal and other state Democrats often criticized Stivers for his role as head of the NRCC. He said Stivers’ and the NRCC are a main reason why politics in the U.S. is so uncivil.
Stivers, who is also a founder of the civility caucus in the U.S. House, said that he encourages campaign advertisements funded by the NRCC to be fair and truthful but he can;t control the content of the ads.
David Pepper, the chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party, said it doesn’t make a lot of sense for someone who represents a struggling district to have a position like that.
Adam Rapien, Stivers’ campaign manager, said representing the district takes priority over being chairman of the NRCC. He said Stivers is able to do both jobs without sacrificing one for the other.
Despite losing, Neal narrowed the margin of loss compared to previous Democratic campaigns that ran against Stivers. In 2016, Democrat Scott Wharton lost by about 32.4 percent while in 2014 he lost by about 32 percent. In 2012, Democrat Pat Lang lost by 23.2 percent.
Many Democrats attribute these large margins of victory for Stivers to the fact that the district was gerrymandered in favor of Republicans after the Republican led government redrew the congressional districts after the 2010 census.
Stivers will be apart of the 116th congress of the U.S. With a projected Democratic majority, Stivers will find it more difficult to pass legislation than previous years. The Senate’s projected Republican majority makes it even more complicated to pass legislation.

.editorconfig support in Visual Studio 2017
Just recently, Visual Studio team published a post on great features coming to the VS 2017 that will increase your productivity. Among those, one small but powerful feature coming to the Visual Studio.
It’s .editorconfig support. What’s so great about this?
EditorConfig support is a good first step to support all platforms and editors of choice uniformely. Working with Xamarin apps from Windows and OS X in distributed teams, I learned hard way how tabs (gosh, again?) could be disruptive to smooth team work.
What is EditorConfig?
Quote from EditorConfig website:
EditorConfig helps developers define and maintain consistent coding styles between different editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig project consists of a file format for defining coding styles and a collection of text editor plugins that enable editors to read the file format and adhere to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readable and they work nicely with version control systems.
In other words, having .editorconfig in the root of your project will guarantee that any editor supporting it will comply with defined settings and will keep your codebase in the same format as team agreed.
What can we config in the editor then?
EditorConfig in VS 2017 supports following settings:
- indent_style
- indent_size
- tab_width
- end_of_line
- charset
- trim_trailing_whitespace
- insert_final_newline
Overview how to setup .editorconfig is available in the Microsoft Docs.
I will quote one paragraph from the docs since it’s very well written:
… EditorConfig files enable you to maintain consistent coding styles and settings for a language … in a codebase regardless of the editor or IDE you use.
EditorConfig doesn’t support full set of C# formatting rules, so it’s not a replacement for formatting settings in VS or code formatting policy in Xamarin Studio (XS stores settings in a .sln file).
I am sure we will see more tools/features coming to support different editors and environments to keep consistent coding styles.
If you are interested in the topic, please read my recent article on having standard C# formatting style and feel free to share your opinion.

Research 2: Share Learning Discoveries
Part I: React-Redux Research:Flux is an architecture and Redux is a library, both use actions but flux can have multiple stores whereas in redux only has 1 store for an application. The advantage of using redux is it makes the flow of data easier and creates one state. which can speak to all actions in multiple components.
Part I: React-Redux Research:I will attempt to get a working shopping cart with editable amounts I will be using Crud to model creating and deleting data from the shopping list. I will be looking into logins and storage in week 3. I will be looking into Routing from the provided material from previous classes. I am terrible at creating APIS and its hard for me to make them work so i will be using this material to assist with that

Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has become one of the best selling novels of all time as well as the subject of intellectual debate among readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are published in 56 languages around the world with over 200 million copies in print.
In 2005, Brown was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine, whose editors credited him with “keeping the publishing industry afloat; renewed interest in Leonardo da Vinci and early Christian history; spiking tourism to Paris and Rome; a growing membership in secret societies; the ire of Cardinals in Rome; eight books denying the claims of the novel and seven guides to read along with it; a flood of historical thrillers; and a major motion picture franchise.”
The son of a mathematics teacher and a church organist, Brown was raised on a prep school campus where he developed a fascination with the paradoxical interplay between science and religion. These themes eventually formed the backdrop for his books. He is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he later returned to teach English before focusing his attention full time to writing.

By being able to rewire your brain, if one part of the brain becomes damaged we can get other areas to take over the traffic. we are able to recover from brain events like strokes, traumatic brain injuries. Losing one function may enhance other functions. If one sense gets lost like sight, smell might be heightened. Enhanced memory abilities. Better cognitive function. Effective learning.
I will most likely engage in principals of neuroplasticity so I can improve my memory, cognitive abilities and learning efficiency. I would like to be able to learn much more efficiently and be able to store a lot more information in my brain.
By getting an adequate amount of sleep allows your brain to reset connections that are important for memory and learning.
Process of learning something improves neuroplasticity. Practicing and learning a new language for examples has found to strengthen the brain.
Exercising is also beneficial for the brain, cardiovascular exercises boost oxygen supply to the brain and increases brain volume.
Reduce stress because it diminishes neuroplasticity.
If you focus and have motivation, if you have a good reason for learning then you will try harder and focus more on the task thus enhancing neuroplasticity
Reading a fiction novel also increases brain connectivity.
People with a growth mindset believe their abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. a growth mindset can help you recover from illness because you believe that you can do something about the illness. They can help you achieve in sport, at work and can also help you grow and develop in relationships.
I will seek critical feedback and a challenge with a can do attitude. I will always put in 100% effort and be dedicated to the current problem.

GetTax For Excel? Really?

At least, that’s what I first thought when I had heard that it was possible to make web requests in VBA. Then I thought about how many people use Excel for nearly all of their business needs. So of course, that lead me to a “What If” moment:
What if Excel had a
=GetTax()
function?
Of course, I hadn’t used (or debugged) VBA in years. I had completely forgotten there were more leisurely activities, like eating a box of wood screws. Nevertheless, my stubborness to finish what I started lead to this invoice template:
Click me! I've Got Macros!
Naturally, you may want to do more than just make invoices, so we’ll take a quick look at the underlying VBA code to get you started.
Eat Your Vegetables, Look Both Ways When Crossing Your GoTos, And Don’t Talk to On Error Resume Nexts.
In our AvaTaxForExcel module, a sample subroutine and function is provided that gets invoked by the “Calculate Tax and Total” button on the spreadsheet. This subroutine invokes our GetTax function like this:
Public Sub CalculateTax()
Range("J38:J38").Value = GetTax(Range("J3").Value, Range("J4").Value, Range("A5").Value, Range("A6").Value, Range("A7").Value, Range("A8").Value, Range("C8").Value, Range("A9").Value, _
Range("D8").Value, Range("G12").Value, Range("G13").Value, Range("G14").Value, Range("G15").Value, Range("I15").Value, _
Range("G16").Value, Range("J15").Value, Range("A18:J18"), Range("A19:J36"))
End Sub
The function signature of GetTax is as follows:
Function GetTax(docDate As Date, customerCode As String, shipFromLine1 As String, shipFromLine2 As String, shipFromLine3 As String, shipFromCity As String, shipFromRegion As String, shipFromCountry As String, shipFromPostalCode As String, _
shipToLine1 As String, shipToLine2 As String, shipToLine3 As String, shipToCity As String, shipToRegion As String, shipToCountry As String, shipToPostalCode As String, _
lineHeaders As Range, lineItems As Range) As String
The GetTax call, when invoked, performs the web request against our new REST v2 APIs (in beta as of this writing, check it out! - http://developer.avalara.com/avatax/api-reference/tax/v2/), resulting in your calculated invoice appearing on your AvaTax console:
As well as your spreadsheet:
The GetTax method is provided for your convenience, and traps and displays errors it encounters via a message box. You may want to handle these errors differently. All the magic actually occurs via the TransactionRequest class’ ToJson method, which uses the excellent VBA-JSON library to translate the class into a JSON object, which is fed into the web request.
As a final note, please keep in mind that the REST v2 API is still in public beta, so you may see some quirks. If you do, let us know!

Jefferson Lerma, who has returned fit from playing for Colombia, is back in contention after serving a one-match ban, but fellow midfielder David Brooks remains sidelined with an ankle problem.
Winger Adama Traore is a major doubt for Wolves.
Traore sustained a hamstring injury that forced him to withdraw from the Spain squad after being called up for the first time.
Midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is again unlikely to feature due to a back injury sustained a month ago, while defender Willy Boly continues his recovery from a fractured fibula.
Wolves provisional squad: Patricio, Ruddy, Doherty, Coady, Vinagre, Kilman, Jonny, Bennett, Sanderson, Perry, Dendoncker, Gibbs-White, Saiss, Moutinho, Neves, Jordao, Jimenez, Jota, Cutrone, Campbell, Traore, Neto.
Bournemouth provisional squad: Ramsdale, Boruc, Smith, S. Cook, Ake, Francis, Stacey, Kelly, Mepham, Rico, H. Wilson, Gosling, Lerma, L. Cook, Billing, Fraser, Danjuma, Solanke, C. Wilson.

Description
Minesweeper is a single player puzzle game. The objective is to choose tiles on square board and clear the board.
The board also contains hidden mines which detonate if they are chosen.
If a tile is chosen that is not a mine, it either reveals the number (but not position) of mines around it or,
if there are no mines, reveals all tiles around it.
Wikipedia Link
Preliminary Software Design
Global Variables:
- NumMines (int)
- NumSquares (int)
- gameWin (int)
Initialized at game start, NumMines decreases when a mine is flagged and NumSquares decreases when a square is clicked. Neither decrease if a non-mine is flagged.
Victory is achieved when both of the variables reach zero, in which case gameWin is set to 1.
Tiles:
{"mine": false, "revealed": false, "flagged": false, "count": 0}
When a tile is clicked it either ends the game (if isMine is true), reveals its number (if >0), or reveals nearby tiles (if number=0). It does nothing if the tile is flagged.
The Grid
{ {tile, tile, tile...}, {tile, tile, tile...}, {tile, tile, tile...} ...}
A 2-dimensional array of tile objects. The outer array is the x-coord, the inner array is the y-coord (grid[x][y]).
Board Setup:
Tiles are initialized as 0,false. A number of random mines are generated. When each mine is placed, it increments the counter of each surrounding tile and sets its current tile to true.
If a mine would be placed on an existing mine, it skips that tile and tries again up to 10 times. If it fails to place a mine 10 times, it stops adding mines.
Internal Functions
setMine(x,y) - attempts to set 'mine' in a tile to true. Returns false if the tile is already a mine.
checkVictory() - Simply checks to see if numMines and numTiles are both 0. If they are, sets the gameWin to 1.
External Functions
revealTile(x,y) - reveals a tile. If the tile is a mine, it sets the gameWin to -1 and returns the MINE constant. If the tile is a 0, it also reveals tiles in the four cardinal directions around the first.
drawTile(x,y) - Returns the value of a tile. A constant for tiles that haven't been revealed yet, constants for mines and flags, or the count of nearby mines.
flag(x,y) - Flags or unflags a tile. Decrements the numMines counter if the tile being flagged is a mine, and calls checkVictory.

 No defender will they have from Allah. Their faces will be covered, as it were, with pieces from the darkness of night.  These are the companions of the Fire; therein they will abide. |
| 010:027 Pickthal | : |
And those who earn ill-deeds, (for them) requital of each ill-deed by the like thereof; and ignominy overtaketh them - They have no protector from Allah - as if their faces had been covered with a cloak of darkest night. Such are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein. |
| 010:027 Rashad | : |
As for those who earned sins, their requital is equivalent to their sin. Humiliation is their lot, and no one beside GOD can protect them. Their faces will seem overwhelmed by masses of dark night. They will be the dwellers of Hell; they abide therein forever. |
| 010:027 Sarwar | : |
The recompense for the evil deeds will be equally evil (not more) and the faces of the evil-doers will suffer from disgrace. No one can protect them from the wrath of God. Their faces will become dark as if covered by the pitch-darkness of night.  They shall have none to protect them from ALLAH. And they shall look as if their faces had been covered with dark patches of night. It is these who are the inmates of the Fire; therein shall they abide. |
| 010:027 Yusufali | : |
But those who have earned evil will have a reward of like evil: ignominy will cover their (faces): No defender will they have from (the wrath of) Allah: Their faces will be covered, as it were, with pieces from the depth of the darkness of night: they are companions of the Fire: they will abide therein (for aye)! |

I was at a club and my good friend gave me a hit of acid, which I hadn't done in over a year. I was apprehensive, but took it knowing I'd have a fun time with him. So we danced and I made out with a cute girl, and we went to get some food on the way home.
I had to be up for work the next morning, so I wanted to come down easy so i could sleep. My friend told me he heard that taking Niacin makes the effects virtually stop. He had the WRONG information!!! I took 200mg of the vitamin, and 10 minutes later, my whole body felt like it was on fire.
A searing pain started in my crotch, then my armpits, my buttocks, my feet... all my hot points--and spread quickly. My friend had gone home, and my roommate was asleep, and I was freaking out. I ran to the bathroom and couldn't recognize myself in the mirror.
By this point I was screaming, and I jumped into a cold shower to try to cool off. I really thought i might be dying, so I screamed for my roommate to wake up and help me. I was tripping very hard at this point and wanted to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. But when she came running in, she screamed too. My feet and hands were bright purple, with streaks of purple running up my legs and arms. And my eyes were almost swollen shut. All my skin was stretched and cracking. By the way, I was in shock too, so I was convulsing and shivering and chattering my teeth uncontrollably. The shower had made the condition much worse!
I tried to have her call the ER to ask if I should come in. I couldn't imagine the reaction being from the acid, since I had taken it 6 hours before. I knew it had to do with the Niacin. My roommate was so scared she almost called 911, but I had no insurance and didn't want anyone to know I took drugs. So I called myself, while I could barely walk or talk. The man that answered kind of laughed at me and told me to just wait it out. I had to sit for 2 hours convulsing under lots of blankets, drinking water, tripping out.
The doctor said it was just an allergic reaction to Niacin, which is very common. He called my condition 'flushing'--HA! I literally was afraid that I was going to be permanently disfigured. You wouldn't believe what I looked like. So the next morning, I looked at my multivitamin, and saw that 100% daily dose of Niacin is only 20 mg! I took 10 times the normal dose!

STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (SPECIAL EDITION) A film review by David Wilcock Copyright 1997 David Wilcock
A sci-fi/adventure starring Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Peter Cushing,Harrison Ford, James Earl Jones and Frank Oz
A TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX RELEASE
The second in the Star Wars trilogy is quite different to the first. While the first one was full of action and adventure, it was also very happy. However, the second one is not. The film itself is very dark, and has a totally different atmosphere to the first.
The film starts off happy enough. An excellent walker scene sets off the pace, with the walkers being destroyed (of course) and Luke going off to visit Yoda, and Hans, Leia, Chewbacca and C3P0 trying to escape from TIE Fighters in an asteroid. (With the princess giving hints of her love to Solo) However, it is when Luke arrives at Yodas planet that the atmosphere changes. The planet is very dark, and misty, filled with strange noises. Also, after being taught a bit by Yoda about how to use the force, Luke must confront his worst nightmare, which involves facing Lord Vader, and chopping off his head. I found these scenes really depressing compared to the oringal, and just not very enjoyable.
Things pick up when Hans and Co arrive at Landos shipdock, although even this gets dark when Han actually loses to the Empire, gets frozen, and sent to the Empire. To add even more depression, Lukes arm gets chopped off by the Vader. However, the film is very enjoyable, but I just don't like the way that while the first was happy, this one gets annoyingly depressing.
Overall, I rate this not as good as Star Wars, but must a bit better than Jedi. Depressing bits aside, the film is well shot and made, and there are some good set pieces (and some clever suprises) And, of course, its Star Wars, which makes it great anyway.

Continuous thinking: CQRS explained to a 10-year old
Introduction
The concept behind CQRS is neat: detach your domain implementation completely from your representation requirements. I even wrote a framework for it as a learning tool, so somebody without any prior experience should be able to boot a CQRS app in a few minutes.
The main idea behind this framework is providing developers new to CQRS an operating room where they can compose their own little CQRS Frankenstein app.
The whole framework is constructed in a way that it forces you to make your domain implementation completely persistence ignorant, respecting typical AR/transactional boundaries.
Scritchy is not "the framework to write CQRS apps"; Scritchy is a framework that tries to provide you a learning platform where you can start grasping the basic principles, advantages and disadvantages in using CQRS.
Once you understand the basic principles behind the CQRS setup, and why everything is setup the way it is, I would advise anybody to gradually replace parts of the framework and just opt for whatever approach you like, using proper message busses, pub/sub/...
If you write your app following the conventions Scritchy dictates, the only thing you need to change to remove the Scritchy dependency is the base object your Aggregate Root inherits from; that is the only dependency that is ever necessary in you app implementation. This was by design,to make future migrations as easy as possible.
I wrote this framework to enable a dev new to CQRS to get his app up and running in a few minutes... But apparently that is not enough....
Once upon a time at a certain newsgroup...
There has been a huge discussion over at the CQRS newsgroup about whether a CQRS framework has a "raison d'être". I think it has, as a learning tool, some disagree; I'm fine with that:
What I find really odd however, is that white coats are now starting to draw "MetaSchema's" or whatever the **** they call them, complicating and abstracting a very simple concept even more then necessary.
As an answer to that I wrapped up a basic app in a few hours which demonstrated about what I think CQRS is in it's core concept, i.e. make a CQRS app as simple as possible, only abstracting what you absolutely have to...
This is the answer I got:
It is unfortunate that people learn programming without meeting the basic tenets of structured programming. Programming with procedures (your commands and queries) has been here form more then 30 decades, some are commands other are queries. CQS is usually applied here too!
ROFL !! Talk about missing the point!! Anyway, after all these fruitless attempts I decided to invest my time in some things more productive and get away from all these semantic meta-level blahblahblah....
CQRS - the essence IMO - how would you explain it to a 10-year old ?
All those neat diagrams perfectly aligned and perfectly abstracting away everything in CQRS usually give me the shivers, which is why I started writing this article in the first place. I think Rob Ashton's article was a great attempt, but still a bit to complicated.
One of my current occupations as an ICT generalist is giving strategic ICT advice. Every time we talk about customer interaction/transfering your intent to your customers, I suggest them to interact with their customers as if they were 10-year-olds as an exercise, in order to get to the essence of their intent... So I decided to dogfood this approach, and here is my attempt to explain CQRS to my 10-year-old audience:
That is all there is to CQRS IMO, nothing more, nothing less.
(For all the font freaks, the typeface used in this graph is MouseDrawn™, which will be available for ordering soon, SRP 10K€ ;) ).
Conclusion
CQRS is a neat concept, and applying it gives you all kinds of advantages... But there is no need to make it more complicated then it is; in essence it is just about separating your domain implementation from your UI representation, nothing more, nothin less.
I feel a lot of people are getting confused when they try to get started with CQRS. There is no need to; just separate your UI/domain implementation and UI representation.
People interested in the absolute minimum required to do CQRS, I suggest to take a look at my example app over at github. I would advise Scritchy to people who want to experiment with CQRS for the first time and want a proper app architecture (nuget available). For others - the more experienced people - I suggest you opt for whatever you think is appropriate, as CQRS is not about components, it is about a concept.

Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery Chad'z rating: *** (out of 4 = good) 1997, PG-13, 87 minutes [1 hour, 27 minutes] [comedy] starring: Mike Meyers (Austin Powers, Dr. Evil), Elizabeth Hurley (Vanessa Kensington), Robert Wagner (Number Two), Fabiano Udenio (Alotta Fagina), produced by Demi Moore, Mike Meyers, Jennifer and Suzanne Todd, written by Mike Meyers, directed by M. Jay Roach.
It's hard to make a good spoof movie these days, probably because anything can only be parodied once, if at all. Is it any surprise films like "Spy Hard," and "High School High" have bombed?
The film starts out in the campy tradition of any spoof movie by setting up its premise quickly but doing so in a satirical manner. The setting is 1967 London where we meet Austin Powers (Meyers), an English spy who is just as popular as the Beatles but seems more like Benny Hill. As women chase him he starts to dance and everyone joins in, then he runs away while everyone else must finish the song (once a crowd of people start to dance in synch they can't stop - that would be against the rules of a musical!). At the same time we meet Powers' arch nemesis Dr. Evil (Meyers again). Evil is your typical cartoony villain: he sits at a round table with his cat and associates whom he gets rid of just because he can. The fact his name is Dr. Evil shows you how blatant the film is in its satirical nature. To cut to the chase, Evil escapes by freezing and hiding himself to return 30 years later.
Okay, it's obvious the basic premise of the film is going to be a cartoony 60s-style spy movie set in the present day and therefore all the jokes will be simply fish-out-of-water right? Technically, this is true, but the film uses its typical elements an exploitative manner. We get the verbal and sight gags you'd expect from a film like this, but what's different here is the fact they don't just exist to make for quick, convenient jokes, instead, they often become integral parts of scenes, dialogue, and even the general plot.
Many things in movies like this exist only to provide for one joke, for example, Dr. Evil's number two man is named Number Two (Wagner), but what's so clever here is the use of this gag doesn't stop there, nor does it repeat itself. The film makes full use of every possible gag, such as a hilarious scene in a restroom which I cannot describe, but I will say one of Powers' lines is, "Who does Number Two work for!?"
Of course what's a comedy and a spy movie without a standoffish female sidekick who will later fall for the hero? Elizabeth Hurley co-stars as Vanessa Kensington, Powers' partner who epitomizes that character. Between scenes in which Austin tries to seduce Vanessa (always failing but always making for jokes), the two try to find Dr. Evil as he holds the world hostage.
There's so much comedy and so many jokes in this film it really would be an injustice to list only a few examples. It's difficult to describe how all the jokes connect and why they do so. There are times when certain gags start to wear thin (the carefully choreographed nude scenes for example), but what keeps them and the entire film from becoming a lowest-common-denominator/live action cartoon is the witty layer of satire throughout.
What gives "Austin Powers" its edge, originality and enjoyability is Meyers' witty screenplay. It's nice to watch a comedy and not feel like you're being pandered to.

Notes
Example of use Consider the discretization mesh depicted in fig. 8, partitioned among two processes as shown by the dashed lines, with an overlap of 1 extra layer with respect to the partition of fig. 7; the data distribution is such that each process will own 40 entries in the index space, with an overlap of 16 entries placed at local indices 25 through 40; the halo will run from local index 41 through local index 48..
