Dr. Norman Borlaug
The man who saved a billion lives
Here's a time line of Dr. Borlaug's life:
- 1914 - Born in Cresco, Iowa
- 1933 - Leaves his family's farm to attend the University of Minnesota, thanks to a Depression era program known as the "National Youth Administration"
- 1935 - Has to stop school and save up more money. Works in the Civilian Conservation Corps, helping starving Americans. "I saw how food changed them", he said. "All of this left scars on me."
- 1937 - Finishes university and takes a job in the US Forestry Service
- 1942 - Receives a Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Pathology
- 1945 - Discovers a way to grown wheat twice each season, doubling wheat yields
"Borlaug's life and achievement are testimony to the far-reaching contribution that one man's towering intellect, persistence and scientific vision can make to human peace and progress."
-- Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh


No polls have been published since February 16, due to a 15-day polling blackout leading up to the election.
Italians head to the polls on March 4 in the next big EU election that could help [determine the fate of the bloc](https://www.ft.com/content/7a13e0c6-02ac-11e8-9650-9c0ad2d7c5b5).
Italy is one of the founding members of the EU and the third-largest economy in the eurozone. But in recent years Euroscepticism has been on the rise, as discontent about a deep recession, weak recovery and the migration crisis on the country’s southern shores grows.
Here the FT looks at the rules, the main contenders and the possible outcomes of this pivotal vote.

## The electoral system
[Italy’s](https://www.ft.com/topics/places/Italy) electoral system is not enshrined in the constitution, and parliament has made three big changes to the rules over the past 25 years. The most recent was in 2017, when lawmakers agreed on the current “Rosatellum” system — named after Ettore Rosato, an MP from the ruling centre-left Democratic Party, who authored the law.
This means 61 per cent of the seats — 386 in the lower house and 193 in the upper house — will be awarded by national proportional representation. Some 37 per cent — 232 in the lower house and 116 in the upper house — will be elected in single-member constituencies under a first-past-the-post system. Italians living abroad will elect 2 per cent — 12 seats in the lower house and six in the upper house.
Parties must win 3 per cent of the national vote to gain a share of the proportional seats, a measure designed to reduce fragmentation. If they are allied to a larger coalition partner, votes for parties that earn between 1 and 3 per cent are transferred to the stronger party.
The Rosatellum was the product of a quick compromise in parliament last year. But because of the first-past-the-post component it seemed tailor-made to hurt the anti-establishment Five Star Movement. Five Star is against forming coalitions and lacks both a deep penetration at local level and experienced candidates.
The centre-right opposition stands to benefit, since it has managed to form a coalition. This includes the Forza Italia party led by former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, the anti-euro Northern League and the rightwing Brothers of Italy. The Northern League, in particular, has strong local roots in the prosperous north.
With votes nearly evenly split among three groups — the centre-right, centre-left and Five-Star — the result could be a hung parliament. But political scientists say that if one of the groups reaches more than 40 per cent of the votes in the proportional system, it could also gain more than 65 per cent of the seats in the first-past-the-post component and, conceivably, a majority in parliament. That is the big prize.
## The parties
### Democratic Party
The centre-left Democratic Party (PD) forms the backbone of the governing coalition led by Paolo Gentiloni, prime minister. Matteo Renzi, the former prime minister, was re-elected as the party’s leader under a reformist agenda in April 2017.
When he became prime minister in 2014, Mr Renzi was able to reinvigorate the PD on the back of his charisma and vigour. But polls now show it trailing the centre-right coalition and Five Star.
PD traditionally supports pro-European policies and the social integration of immigrants. It has been in power since 2013, a period largely associated with economic recovery and employment expansion, though many Italians have not felt the benefits. It is stronger in the centre of the country and among older people and those with a higher education.
### Five Star Movement
Five Star (M5S) first took part in a general election in 2013, when it won 25 per cent of the vote and established itself as key power in Italian politics. It was created by comedian Beppe Grillo and the late internet consultant Gianroberto Casaleggio — who has been succeeded by his son Davide Casaleggio — with a platform involving direct democracy, the green economy and a fight against corruption. Its prime ministerial candidate is Luigi Di Maio.
The movement has since been in the spotlight because of internal divisions, lack of experience and its mismanagement in Rome, where it holds the mayorship.
### Forza Italia
Mr Berlusconi’s centre-right party, Forza Italia (FI) has dominated the country’s politics since its entry on to the scene in 1994, when the media mogul first ran for office. Even when it was in opposition — between 1996 and 2001 and again between 2006 and 2008 — it was the main conservative political force in Italy.
The height of the party’s power was in 2008, when Mr Berlusconi was re-elected as prime minister for a third time. But its support dropped to 15 per cent after Mr Berlusconi was forced to resign as prime minister in November 2011 over personal legal and sex scandals and the mismanagement of Italy’s debt crisis.
Although Mr Berlusconi, who is now 81 years old, is banned from public office because of a tax fraud conviction, he is nonetheless leading his party’s campaign and may be a key powerbroker after the vote.
The centre-right’s resurgence was apparent in municipal and regional elections in 2017, when it captured control of the city of Genoa and the governorship of Sicily.
### Northern League
The Northern League (LN) is a Eurosceptic, anti-immigrant party based in the country’s north. Although its main cause used to be fiscal federalism — and even secession — from Rome, it has now veered towards a more traditional hard-right nationalist agenda along the lines of France’s National Front.
Its support in the opinion polls has increased in the past three years on the back of rising anti-immigration sentiment following the Italian migration crisis. It was a marginal part of the centre-right coalition in the last general election but it can now boost a similar support base to Forza Italia.
### Free and Equal
After Mr Renzi and the PD lost a constitutional referendum in 2016, a group of leftwing dissidents — including veterans such as Massimo D’Alema and Pier Luigi Bersani — defected and formed a new political force. This evolved into Free and Equal (LeU), led by former anti-Mafia prosecutor and Senate president Pietro Grasso.
Its goal is to capture the votes of disillusioned leftwing Italians who believe the PD is too centrist and dislike Mr Renzi’s leadership style. But by running separately from the PD, the party is opening itself up to the criticism that it is paving the way for a centre-right or Five Star victory.
### Brothers of Italy
Brothers of Italy (FdI) is a nationalist-conservative party led by Giorgia Meloni, the Rome native and party leader who served as a minister in a previous Berlusconi-led government.
The name of the party mirrors that of Italy’s national anthem and its manifesto is laden with nativist policies against immigration and globalisation.
Brothers of Italy is a descendant of the Italian Social Movement, which inherited the role of the defunct Italian fascist party in postwar Italy.
## Potential outcomes
According to the latest seat allocation projections, no party or coalition will be achieve a majority — at least 316 seats. Among the possible coalitions, based on current polling, are:
### A grand coalition
#### Centre-left and centre-right.
This would be the broadest possible grand coalition, which could involve a technocratic government directed by Sergio Mattarella, the president, in the interests of maintaining stability. But in reality any grand coalition is likely to be much narrower, with parts of the centre-right — especially the Northern League and Brothers of Italy — and the centre-left — particularly leftwing factions of the PD — splintering off.
This has led many political scientists to question whether the numbers will add up for a workable grand coalition after the vote.
### An anti-euro government
#### Five Star Movement, Northern League and Brothers of Italy.
The most destabilising scenario for the EU would be a strong performance by Five Star, with the movement then seeking partners to form a government based on questioning the euro, reviewing Nato membership and adopting a hardline stance on immigration. But there are a wide range of views on each of these subjects even within the anti-establishment parties, so it is far from clear they could find common ground.
### A fudge
The most likely outcome is a very weak and unstable grand coalition — or even a minority government — with lawmakers switching sides and allegiances based on individual votes in parliament.
### New elections
If efforts to form a government fail repeatedly after the vote, Mr Mattarella may be forced to call new elections, prolonging the country’s political uncertainty — a scenario close to that experienced in Spain in recent years.
## Methodology
At each point in time, the FT poll-of-polls takes the average of all polls published within the last month. The average of their results is weighted to give more recent polls greater influence on the net score.

The select-a11y
Web Component:
An Accessible Custom Element for Dropdown Selection
Jonathan Pool
Revised 28 May 2018
Introduction
This page demonstrates a prototype of the select-a11y
custom element.
This test element distinguishes itself from the built-in select
element by setting its size
attribute to 5. Therefore, when the page includes a select
element whose is
attribute has the value select-a11y
and which does not have a size
attribute, 5 of the option
elements inside the select
element should be visible. The same select
element would otherwise (i.e. without is="select-a11y"
) make only 1 or 4 of its option
elements visible.


vignettes/custom_dictionary.Rmd
custom_dictionary.Rmd
This gendercodeR package allows rapid recoding of freetext gender responses using an in-built dictionary. Individuals using the package may wish to extend or overwrite elements of the dictionary where they disagree with the coding decisions made by the package authors and/or wish to include recoding options that are not included in the in-built dictionary. A custom dictionary can be created by the user and provided to the genderRecode()
function for this purpose.
For example, when collecting data from Spanish speaking participants a participant who enters their gender as “masculino” will not be recoded using the in-built dictionary.
df <- data.frame(stringsAsFactors=FALSE,
gender = c("male", "MALE", "mle", "mail", "masculino", "female", "enby"),
age = c(34L, 37L, 77L, 52L, 68L, 67L, 83L)
)
df
#> gender age
#> 1 male 34
#> 2 MALE 37
#> 3 mle 77
#> 4 mail 52
#> 5 masculino 68
#> 6 female 67
#> 7 enby 83
library(gendercodeR)
#> Welcome to the genderCodeR package
#>
#> This package attempts to remove typos from free text gender data
#> The defaults that we used are specific to our context and your data may be
#> different. We offer two categorisations -- 'broad' and 'narrow.' Both are opinionated
#> about how gender descriptors collapse into categories as these are culturally
#> specific they may not be suitable for your data. In particular, the 'narrow'
#> setting makes opinionated choices about some responses that we want to
#> acknowledge as potentially problematic.
#> In particular,
#> * In 'narrow' coding, intersex responses are recoded as 'sex and gender
#> diverse'
#> * In 'narrow' responses, where people indicate they are trans and
#> indicate their identified gender are recoded as the identified gender
#> (e.g. 'Male to Female' is recoded as Female). We wish to acknowledge
#> that this may not reflect how some individuals would classify
#> themselves when given these categories and in some contexts may make
#> systematic errors. The broad coding dictionary attempts to avoid these
#> issues as much as possible - however users can provide a custom
#> dictionary to add to or overwrite our coding decisions if they feel
#> this is more appropriate. We welcome people to update the inbuilt
#> dictionary where desired responses are missing.
#> * The 'broad' coding separates out those who identify as trans
#> female/male or cis female/male into separate categories it should not
#> be assumed that all people who describe as male/female are cis, if you
#> are assessing trans status we recommend a two part question see:
#>
#> Bauer, Greta & Braimoh, Jessica & Scheim, Ayden & Dharma, Christoffer.
#> (2017).
#> Transgender-inclusive measures of sex/gender for population surveys:
#> Mixed-methods evaluation and recommendations.
#> PLoS ONE. 12.
genderRecode(df)
#>
#> The following responses were not auto-recoded. The raw responses
#> have been carried over to the recoded column
#>
#> # A tibble: 1 x 2
#> # Groups: responses [1]
#> responses n
#> <fct> <int>
#> 1 masculino 1
#> gender age gender_recode
#> 1 male 34 male
#> 2 MALE 37 male
#> 3 mle 77 male
#> 4 mail 52 male
#> 5 masculino 68 masculino
#> 6 female 67 female
#> 7 enby 83 non-binary
The custom dictionary should be a data frame with two columns. Column 1 should include the input text (i.e. the response provided by the participant) and Column 2 should include the desired output text (i.e. the gender category the input should be converted to).
custom_dictionary <- data.frame(stringsAsFactors=FALSE,
Input = c("masculino", "femenina"),
Output = c("male", "female")
)
custom_dictionary
#> Input Output
#> 1 masculino male
#> 2 femenina female
The custom dictionary is appended to the in-built dictionary and participants are recoded as desired.
The narrow recoding method recodes participants who indicate that they are intersex are recoded to “Sex and Gender Diverse”. In some contexts researchers may wish to use narrow recoding but overwrite this particular behaviour so that individuals who report they are coded as intersex but the other entries in the dictionary are preserved.1
df <- data.frame(stringsAsFactors=FALSE,
gender = c("male", "MALE", "mle", "mail", "intersex", "female", "enby"),
age = c(34L, 37L, 77L, 52L, 68L, 67L, 83L)
)
df
#> gender age
#> 1 male 34
#> 2 MALE 37
#> 3 mle 77
#> 4 mail 52
#> 5 intersex 68
#> 6 female 67
#> 7 enby 83
genderRecode(df, method = "narrow")
#> gender age gender_recode
#> 1 male 34 male
#> 2 MALE 37 male
#> 3 mle 77 male
#> 4 mail 52 male
#> 5 intersex 68 sex and gender diverse
#> 6 female 67 female
#> 7 enby 83 sex and gender diverse
A custom defintion can be provided and then be applied.
custom_dictionary <- data.frame(stringsAsFactors=FALSE,
Input = c("intersex"),
Output = c("intersex")
)
genderRecode(df, method = "narrow", customDictionary = custom_dictionary)
#> gender age gender_recode
#> 1 male 34 male
#> 2 MALE 37 male
#> 3 mle 77 male
#> 4 mail 52 male
#> 5 intersex 68 intersex
#> 6 female 67 female
#> 7 enby 83 sex and gender diverse
The package authors wish to acknowledge that the narrow categories make opionated assumptions and that the broad recoding will generally be more appropriate.↩


Also take out a plate. Unrap each of the ingredients and place each one on a plate with the desired amount. I suggest taking out 2 pieces of tomato, 2 pieces of lettuce and 3 pieces of bacon.
Ps. don't forget to pull out 2 pieces of bread.

Official: Banyana’s Very Own Logo Revealed
by Soccer LadumaThe South African Football Association have revealed a new logo for Banyana Banyana as they look to given the women’s team ‘their own identity’.
Check out Banyana's new logo in the imagery above
Desiree Ellis’ side have had an exciting few years as they grow in leaps and bounds on the world stage, with the COSAFA Cup champions going on to take their place at the FIFA Women’s World Cup earlier in the year.
Read: Chiefs In Talks With Potential New Signing!
Thembi Kgatlana’s goal against Spain will go down in history as South Africa’s first goal at a WWC, and the team left France with their heads held high after having been pitted in what many had dubbed the group of death.
Now, with SAFA looking to try and take Banyana to the next level, they have decided to design a logo for the team that is separate to that of their male counterparts.
On Banyana’s official Twitter account yesterday they stated, “SAFA today launched the Banyana Banyana logo in Johannesburg… Acting CEO, Russell Paul, said it was important that Banyana also have their own identity just like Bafana.”
Meanwhile, Ellis’ full team for the upcoming encounter Japan is as follows:
Goalkeepers:
Andile Dlamini, Kaylin Swart, Jessica Williams.
Defenders:
Lebogang Ramalepe, Bambanani Mbane, Nothando Vilakazi, Tiisetso Makhubela, Noko Matlou, Ongeziwe Ndlangisa.
Midfielders:
Leandra Smeda, Mamello Makhabane, Busisiwe Ndimeni, Refiloe Jane, Kholosa Biyana, Linda Motlhalo, Robyn Moodaly, Noxolo Cesane, Nomvula Kgoale.
Forwards:
Jermaine Seoposenwe, Rhoda Mulaudzi, Thembi Kgatlana, Lelona Daweti.
Banyana face Japan at Kitakyushu Stadium in Fukuoka on November 10 as they look to prove their mettle against one of the world’s top teams.

This is the amazing result from this complicated calculation. Behold, a 100%% true answer: {num1} + {num2} = {total}


About a year ago, I wrote a post titled How two Pythonistas accidentally fell in love with Rails. Some people predicted that the honeymoon would be over quickly and that I would soon hate it.
So, do I still love Rails?
Yes. Absolutely.
The prototype and first beta version of my startup was built entirely on Rails. The framework enabled us to build our site significantly faster than we would have been able to without it. For that, I still love Rails. It was critical in helping us get to where we are today.
It’s the perfect hammer for the v1, nebulous direction, rapid development, nail.
That said, we’re not using Rails for any new components.
After getting a lot of feedback from our first beta, we realized we had the wrong approach to the UI. Now, in our second attempt, we’ve got a much richer client-side front-end, written in CoffeeScript and bootstrapped by Node.js. Ruby/Rails is simply not the right tool for that job. In the new world of the browser app, even the folks of 37signals have been accused of propping up their successor.
Luckily, we had a pretty good handle on the models in the problem domain. So I ran git rm -r app/views
and effectively turned the Rails app into a Json API backend. The models have evolved, but not by much. In fact, there were a few months where the Ruby code remained practically unchanged while we developed the frontend.
As time goes on, we’ve been breaking our API layer apart into several services. It makes development, deployment, and versioning easier. Service Oriented Architecture is working great for us… now that we know what services we need. These services are each too simple to justify the overhead of Rails. Some are Node.js, some are Sinatra, some are cron jobs and shell scripts. We’re polyglots, so we’re careful to choose the right tools for each job.
We’d have gotten it very wrong if we tried to build services from the start. The monolithic Rails app was the correct evolutionary intermediate form.
Given a time machine, would I have done anything differently?
Only one thing: I wouldn’t have used ActiveRecord.
I guess I should have seen that one coming. ORMs are an insidious, broken abstraction. At first, they save you time and make you feel productive. They work out splendidly for a while, but like a virus, they infect every part of your application. One day, you hit that abstraction brick wall and it’s too late to do anything about it without significant effort.

Ignoring ActiveRecord, only one thing really stands out: Performance.
I’m not even talking about page load times. I’m talking about development time.
Even with our modestly sized application, the impact on productivity is atrocious. Our test suite runs far too slowly to be waited on for every checkin. Rake’s startup time is too great to for its usage to be considered “interactive”. Simple shell scripts have replaced practically all of our custom tasks; they are instantaneous.
Isn’t this basically the same story I told about Django?
Yeah, I guess it is.
The story basically goes:
- Use a framework
- Be productive
- Encounter shortcomings
- Stretch it to work
- Watch it break
- Replace components
- Loop steps three to six
- Be productive
- “Where’s the framework?”

Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, started the company in 2003. The first car Tesla ever produced was the Tesla Roadster, a fully electric car. It can go 245 miles on a full charge and can go from 0 miles to 60 miles in 3.7 seconds! Prototypes were first introduced to the public in July of 2006. The batteries inside of the roadster come from 20 years of advancement for lithium-ion battery technology. The battery pack carries 6,831 lithium-ion cells which makes it the most energy dense pack in the industry. These cells may lead to longer battery life. With the high-powered wall connecter, a roadster charges in four hours.The body is made of carbon fiber, making it lighter than if it had used steel. This helps since lighter cars are generally quicker and easier to handle than normal cars. Now, Tesla has stopped producing this car because they wanted to focus on the Model S, and you can only buy used roadsters.
After the massive impact of launching the Roadster, Elon Musk and the rest of his company created another car, which made a colossal impact, the Tesla Model S. This automobile was fully electric as well. There are many features like the dual motor. On the P85D (Performance 85 kilo-watt dual motor) the time it takes to go from 0 miles to 60 miles is only 3.2 seconds! The range is 275 miles for a full charge, which is 10 more miles than a Model S with the dual motor in it. Its cost ranges from $61,070 to as high as $146,470 before any federal or state tax credits. Other features include the carbon fiber spoiler, the tech package, smart-air suspension, the premium interior package, the ultra-high fidelity sound, retractable door handles, and many more.
Soon, Tesla will release the Tesla Model X, a SUV with the lowest center of gravity of any SUV. Its performance version can make it accelerate 0 miles to 60 miles in less than five seconds. It has falcon wings, (special doors that look like falcon wings if you open them up) and many more features. This car is only taking reservations right now, and it will come out in 2015. This car does not have a price tag on it yet, but it will be costly. The Roadster, Model S, and Model X are expensive luxury models so Tesla is planning to manufacture an affordable, mass produced car, the Model E.

I would first like to note that until I found this web-page in a google site about mushrooms, I refused to try any sort of psychedelic drugs. I began to read about the mushrooms and how they affect your body. Just before I exited the site I saw a link that said 'Mushrooms and Migraines.'
Unfortunately I began having migraines when I was six. They stopped, and now I am 19 and experiencing them worse than before. I let my boyfriend convince me to take the mushrooms to help take care of my migraines.
First I took 2 grams of mushrooms and chopped them up finely and boiled them in one cup of water for fifteen minutes. I drained them with a coffee filter and into a cup. I drank that first cup and boiled the mushrooms for fifteen more minutes in another cup of water, followed by the straining method once more. I drank this second cup and left the rest of the mushrooms in cup of water for two hours.
I waited a half an hour and began tripping. This was an absolutely wonderful experience, I believe the trip with the mushroom tea is most definitely the way to go. Even for a person who just wants a good trip. I tripped so sweetly, and I was able to watch the walls and the floors melt while I watched a Color show on an Apple Computer. This was amazing.
After four hours my trip began to dissipate, and this is where I messed up. Instead of making more tea, I just ate another two grams and waited for the effects. For someone with migraines, this doesn't help.
I went about a month or so with no migraines, just a cloudy headache instead. Soon after I began to have migraines daily, disabling me. I got fired from my job and I am still looking. I am also a college student and am unable to attend a lot of my classes due to these daily migraines.
I believe that if I had not eaten the second dose I would not have regained the migraines so badly. I am hoping to try it again someday to get rid of these migraines, but for now I am going to see a nuerologist to see what they can do for me.
Thanks Erowid for the idea and the directions on how to get rid of my migraines, even if it was only for a little while.

Frequently I find myself creating basic rails apps to demonstrate a new feature, or prototype something for a spike
test. Every time I created an app, I would run rails new -T
, then add RSpec, Cucumber, Haml, possibly Bootstrap, etc.
After the 10th app in a month, I decided that there must be an easier way. Then I saw this post: http://everydayrails.com/2011/02/28/rails-3-application-templates.html
I started reading up on generators and application templates, then I thought I’d write my own, to see how it works. I pushed my template to GitHub.
Currently the template:
Haml
app/controllers/HomeController
and adds an index
actionapp/views/home/index.html.haml
root to: 'home#index'
to config/routes.rb
During the creation of your app, the template will ask whether or not you want to use these features/gems:
RSpec
Cucumber
twitter-bootstrap-rails
(with less), using therubyracer
(will fix later)
/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb
/app/views/layouts/application.html.haml
.gitignore
with common rails exclusionsgit init and git add '.'
git commit -a -m "Initial commit."
Check it out and let me know what you think!

Tuvan throat singing, Khoomei, is one particular variant of overtone singing practiced by people in Tuva and Siberia. In 2009, it was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of UNESCO.
In Tuvan throat singing, the performer produces a fundamental pitch and—simultaneously—one or more pitches over that. The history of Tuvan throat singing reaches far back. Many male herders can throat sing, but women are beginning to practice the technique as well. The popularity of throat singing among Tuvans seems to have arisen as a result of geographic location and culture. The open landscape of Tuva allows for the sounds to carry a great distance. Ethnomusicologists studying throat singing in these areas mark khoomei as an integral part in the ancient pastoral animism still practiced today. Often, singers travel far into the countryside looking for the right river, or go up to the steppes of the mountainside to create the proper environment for throat-singing.
The animistic world view of this region identifies the spirituality of objects in nature, not just in their shape or location, but in their sound as well. Thus, human mimicry of nature's sounds is seen as the root of throat singing. An example of this is the Tuvan story of the waterfall above the Buyant Göl (Deer River in Tuvan), where mysterious harmonic sounds are said to have attracted deer to bask in the waters, and where it is said harmonic sounds were first revealed to people. Indeed, the cultures in this part of Asia have developed many instruments and techniques to mimic the sounds of animals, wind, and water. While the cultures of this region share throat singing, their styles vary in breadth of development.


Plugin Information |
|---|
Distribution of this plugin has been suspended due to unresolved security vulnerabilities, see below. |
The current version of this plugin may not be safe to use. Please review the following warnings before use:
This plugin allows jobs to programmatically trigger downstream jobs through the execution of groovy scripts.
Programatically trigger your downstream builds
Experimental!
Example usage
This is the use-case this plugin was designed for.
You have one project, your 'product' build. This exists in an SCM repository, and has multiple branches (perhaps following build-flow, you may have a development and multiple release branches).
You may have multiple jenkins projects for each - or be using the new workflow-multibranch tooling to automatically create a Jenkins for each branch as it is cut.
You also have multiple customer projects using those builds. Those projects are in their own repositories, and may also have multiple branches, and rely on different versions of the product.
When a customer project SCM changes, you want the customer project to build.
When the product SCM changes, you want that project (+branch) to build and then all the customer projects that rely on it to also build.
Enter maintenance headache
This is normally handled by 'trigger downstream build', and perhaps parameterising that build. However - when (say) your development branch changes to a new version number - some customer projects won't build any more, as they are tied to a different project. You must enter each one and manually change the 'build on upstream' settings. Multiple projects and branches makes this painful.
Reactor plugin
This plugin aims to help.
In your upstream project (e.g: "product"), add a build step "Fire Reactor Event". You may give this event a name (e.g: "Build"), and some properties (name=value).
In workflow, this can be defined thus:
step([$class: 'FireEventStep', eventName: 'build', properties: """upstreamCommit=${env.GIT_COMMIT}"""]);
In your downstream project, you add a build step of "Register Reactor Script".
What happens is that when your project is built, the reactor script is lodged against this project (and will be visible in the project configuration). When the event above is fired, the plugin evaluates each script against the incoming event to determine if it should rebuild or not.
The simplest possible script is therefore
return true;
More logic
To do more interesting evaluations, the script should obviously examine the incoming event (called 'event'). For example:
return( event.jobName.startsWith("MyProduct") )
The event object comes with a number of properties you can evaluate:
eventName |
The name of the event (e.g: "Build") |
jobName |
The job name the event came from |
jobFullName |
The FULL job name (e.g: multibranchproj/branchname) |
buildNumber |
The build number of the job the event came from |
eventProperties |
The passed job properties (access e.g: event.eventProperties['upstreamCommit'] |
Example in workflow:
step([$class: 'RegisterReactorStep', scriptData: '''
println "REACTOR: Consider: "
if( event.jobName.startsWith("RealTime") )
return true;
return false;
''' ]);
step([$class: 'RegisterReactorStep', scriptData: """ if( event.jobName.startsWith("MyProduct") && event.eventProperties['upstreamVersion'] == '${myVersion}' ) return true; return false; """ ]);
Note that the propertry replacement above is executed (intentionally) when the step is registered in the build, not when the script is evaluated.
Utilising the cause object (Workflow)
If the build was triggered in this way, the causes will contain this information. You can access this in the build script to make some additional decisions - for example, where to get upstream artifacts:
node('docker') { registerDownstream(); env['upstream'] = calculateUpstream(currentBuild.rawBuild.causes); } def calculateUpstream(causes) { def root = "http://jenkins.mycorp.org/plugin/repository/project/"; def cause = causes.find() { it instanceof com.nirima.reactor.ReactorCause }; if( cause != null && cause != false ) { return "${root}${cause.event.jobName}/Build/${cause.event.buildNumber}/repository/" } else { return "${root}MyProduct/dev-main/LastSuccessful/repository/" } }

As soon as the battle on the deck of the Tallahatchie had been decided, Graines, in command of the flanking party, had returned to the engine room of the Bellevite. He and his men had fought bravely and effectively in the action, though the full effect of the movement under his charge could not be realized in the change of circumstances. The engine of the ship had now cooled off, and Paul Vapoor hastened to the deck to see his friend and crony, the news of whose wound had been conveyed to the engine room in due time.
He was heartily rejoiced to find that it was no worse, and he had news for the patient. Just before the burial of the dead he had been sent by the commander to examine and report upon the condition of the engine of the prize. Captain Rombold had protected it with chain cables dropped over the side, so that it remained uninjured, and the British engineers declared that it was in perfect working order.
“But whom do you suppose I saw on board the prize, Christy?” asked the chief engineer, after he had incidentally stated the condition of the engine.
“I cannot guess; but it may have been my cousin Corny Passford, though he has always been in the military service of the Confederacy,” replied the wounded lieutenant.
“It was not Corny, but his father,” added Paul.
“His father!” exclaimed Christy. “Uncle Homer Passford?”
“It was he; I know him well, for I used to meet him at Glenfield in other days. I am as familiar with his face as with that of your father, though I have not seen either of them for over three years.”
“Where was he? What was he doing?” asked Christy curiously.
“He was just coming up from below; and Mr. Hungerford, the second lieutenant, told me he had been turned out of the captain’s cabin, which had been made into a hospital for the wounded,” added Paul. “I had no opportunity to speak to him, for he averted his gaze and moved off in another direction as soon as he saw me. He looked pale and thin, as though he had recently been very sick.”
“Poor Uncle Homer!” exclaimed the lieutenant. “He has been very unfortunate. The last time I saw him, I conducted him to my father’s place at Bonnydale, after he had been a prisoner on board of the Chateaugay. He was on parole then, and I suppose he and Captain Rombold were both exchanged.”
“Doubtless he will tell you all about it when you see him, as you will soon.”
“He had his eyes opened when he passed through New York City with me, for he did not find the grass growing in the streets, as he had expected, in spite of all I had said to him at sea. He was astonished and confounded when he found business more lively than ever before there; but he remained as virulent a rebel as ever; and I am sure he regards it as a pious duty to stand by the Southern Confederacy as long as there is anything left of it. I know no man more sincerely religious than Uncle Homer.”
“He is as good a man as ever walked the earth,” added Paul heartily.
“For his sake, if for no other reason, I shall rejoice when this war is over,” said Christy, with a very sad expression on his pale face.
“Was Mr. Graines of any use to you on deck, Christy?” asked the chief engineer, as he turned to take his leave.
“He behaved himself like a loyal officer, and fought like a tiger on the deck of the Tallahatchie. I shall give a very good report of him to the captain for his conduct in the action, and for his valuable services in the expedition last night. I did not over-estimate him when I selected him for both of the positions to which he was appointed.”
“He wants to see you, and I told him he should come on deck when I returned,” added Paul, as he took the hand of Christy and retired.
“How do you feel now, Mr. Passford?” asked Captain Breaker, coming to his side the moment the chief engineer left him.
“I feel quite weak, but my arm does not bother me much. The Confederate surgeon did a good job when he dressed it,” replied Christy with a smile.
“I will get him to send you a second dose of the restorative that strengthened you before,” said the commander, as he pencilled a note, which he tore out of his memorandum book, and sent it by Punch to Dr. Davidson.
“Mr. Vapoor brought me a piece of news, Captain,” continued Christy. "Uncle Homer Passford is on board of the Tallahatchie.”
“Your uncle!” exclaimed the commander. “I supposed he was still on parole at the house of your father.”
“I did not know to the contrary myself, for I have had no letter from my father for a long time. He and Captain Rombold must have been exchanged some time ago. Mr. Vapoor says my uncle looks pale and thin, as though he had recently been very sick.”
“I am very sorry for him, for he was the equal of your father in every respect, except his loyalty to his true country,” added the captain.
“Poor Uncle Homer!” exclaimed Christy, as he wiped a tear from his eye. “He was the guest of Captain Rombold; but he has been turned out of his cabin to make room for the wounded.”
“Dr. Linscott with his two mates has gone to the assistance of Dr. Davidson, whose hands are more than full, and perhaps he will see your uncle. Where is he now?” inquired the captain.
“Mr. Vapoor saw him on the deck, but he did not speak to him, for Uncle Homer avoided him.
“That will never do!” exclaimed the commander bruskly.  Captain Rombold occupies one of the staterooms in my cabin, and your uncle shall have the other.”
“But where will you berth, captain?” demanded Christy.
“No matter where! I will go and find your uncle at once;” and Christy saw him next mounting the gangway steps.
The commander had no difficulty in finding the gentleman he sought; for he was wandering about the deck of the prize, and no one seemed to take any notice of him. He had been the honored guest of Captain Rombold, though he had hardly shown himself on deck since the steamer left Mobile, and few of the ship’s company seemed to know who he was.
“Good-morning, Colonel Passford,” said Captain Breaker, as he confronted him in the midst of the ruins of the spare wheel, the wrecks of the mizzen mast, and the bulwarks on the quarterdeck.
“Good-morning, Captain Breaker,” replied the planter, taking the offered hand of the commander, with a feeble effort to smile. “Of course I knew that you were near, for you have given abundant proofs of your presence on board of this vessel.”
“But we meet now as friends, and not as enemies. I know that you have done your duty to your country as you understand it, and I have done the same,” continued the commander, still holding the hand of the colonel.
“You have been very kind to Captain Rombold, Gill informs me, and”—
“He set the example for me, and I have striven to follow it,” interposed the captain. “But his generosity was first exercised in behalf of your nephew, Christy.”
“The steward informed me that Christy had been wounded; and Captain Rombold assured me that the Tallahatchie was captured in consequence of a very daring act on the part of my nephew,” added the planter.
“I should not state it quite so strongly as that, though his action certainly enabled us to capture the ship sooner, and with less loss on our part than would otherwise have been the case. As to the ultimate result of the battle, Captain Rombold and myself would disagree. But with your assent, Colonel Passford, I think we had better cease to discuss the action, which is now an event of the past. I am informed that you have been compelled to leave the captain’s cabin.”
“And I cannot find a resting place in the ward room or steerage,” added the planter.
“I have come on board of the prize to invite you to share my cabin with Captain Rombold, for I have two staterooms,” said Captain Breaker, suddenly changing the subject of conversation.
“You are very kind, my dear sir; but your arrangement would incommode yourself,” suggested the colonel.
“My cabin is quite large, and I shall be able to make ample accommodations for myself,” persisted the commander, as he took the arm of the planter. “Permit me to conduct you to your new quarters.”
“As I am once more a prisoner”—
“Hardly,” interposed the captain, as he led the planter to the gangway, “I shall regard you as a non-combatant, at least for the present; and I desire only to make you comfortable. The flag-officer must decide upon your status.”
Colonel Passford allowed himself to be conducted to the deck of the Bellevite; and he was no stranger on board of the ship, for when she was a yacht he had made several excursions in her in company with his family. The first person he observed was his nephew, seated in his arm-chair where he could overlook all that took place on the deck. He hastened to him, detaching his arm from the hand of the captain, and gave him an affectionate greeting.
“I was very sorry to learn that you were wounded, Christy,” said he, holding the right hand of the young officer.
“Not badly wounded, Uncle Homer,” replied Christy. “I hope you are well.”
“I am not very well, though I do not call myself sick. Have you heard from your father lately, Christy?” asked his uncle.
“Not for a long time, for no store-ship or other vessel has come to our squadron for several months, though we are waiting for a vessel at the present time.  “But I have suffered a great deal of anxiety lately.”
“Excuse me, Colonel Passford, but if you will allow me to install you in your stateroom, you will have abundance of time to talk with your nephew afterwards,” interposed Captain Breaker, who was very busy.
“Certainly, Captain; pardon me for detaining you. I am a prisoner, and I shall need my trunk, which is in my stateroom on board of the Tallahatchie.
He followed the captain to his cabin. The door of the Confederate commander’s room was open, and the planter exchanged a few words with him. He was shown to the other stateroom, and Punch was ordered to do all that he could for the comfort of the passenger. Captain Breaker spoke a few pleasant words with the wounded commander, and then hastened on deck.
Mr. Ballard, the second lieutenant, had again been duly installed as temporary executive officer; Mr. Walbrook had been moved up, and Mr. Bostwick, master, had become third lieutenant. As usual, the engineers were Englishmen, who had come over in the Trafalgar, as well as the greater part of the crew, though the other officers were Southern gentlemen who had “retired” from the United States Navy. The foreigners were willing to remain in the engine room, and promised to do their duty faithfully as long as their wages were paid; but Leon Bolter, the first assistant engineer of the Bellevite, was sent on board of the prize to insure their fidelity.
Ensigns Palmer Drake and Richard Leyton, who were serving on board of the steamer while waiting for positions, were sent to the Tallahatchie, the first named as prizemaster, and the other as his first officer, with a prize crew of twenty men, and the two steamers got under way.

DEAD POETS SOCIETY A film review by Randy Parker Copyright 1996 Randy Parker
RATING: **** (out of ****)
(Review written in 1989)
DEAD POETS SOCIETY, "starring" Robin Williams, is anything but a comedy. While the film does have plenty of laughs, it wears the trappings not of a comedy, but of a Greek or Shakespearean tragedy. DEAD POETS SOCIETY is at times quite serious and somber, and it's also without question the finest film of the year. Its riveting, gut wrenching drama had me on the edge of my seat and glued to the screen.
DEAD POETS SOCIETY is set in 1959 at Welton Academy in Vermont, a private college prep school for boys where discipline almost has become an end in and of itself. The faculty has just one goal: to grind out future lawyers, doctors, and scientists. But one voice stands out amid the school's rigid, narrow-minded administration; it belongs to Professor John Keating, a Welton alumnus who has returned to the academy to teach English.
Unlike his conservative colleagues, Keating employs decidedly unorthodox teaching methods and strives to teach more than just his subject matter, which is poetry.  In Keating's class, you learn passion, courage, romanticism, and--of course--poetry.
Robin Williams is nothing short of brilliant as Keating. In the classroom, he cuts loose and shows his usual comic flair with antics like impersonating John Wayne while reading "Macbeth" aloud to his students and conducting discussions as if the class were a game show. But Williams is most impressive in the quiet, dramatic scenes which require a knowing glance or a subtle flash of sorrow. Once again, Williams deserves recognition and respect for his prowess at straight drama; he has matched or surpassed his fine work in GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM, MOSCOW ON THE HUDSON, and THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP.
DEAD POETS SOCIETY, however, is not a Robin Williams vehicle. In fact, Williams is the first to admit that the movie doesn't even revolve around his character: "I'm not carrying this film and I don't feel pressured that the whole movie rests on me. The real story of the film is the boys. I come in and I'm a catalyst, but how they react and their tribute back is the power." (from the press kit) Indeed, most of the young actors in the large, ensemble cast of unknowns and newcomers have at least as much screen time as does Williams. The movie follows a handful of Keating's students as they get swept away by their teacher's enthusiastic spirit. They decide to reorganize "The Dead Poets Society," a secret club which used to meet in a cave (when Keating attended Welton) to experience inspiration through poetry--their own and that of the greats: Whitman, Keats, Thoreau, and so on.
Broadway stage actor Robert Sean Leonard has perhaps the meatiest role in the film. He plays Neil Perry, a charismatic young man whose membership in the society leads him to discover his passion for acting. But unfortunately, his domineering, unyielding father stands in the way of Neil's dreams. Mr. Perry wants his son to go to Harvard medical school and forbids him to engage in extracurricular activities (such as acting) which might interfere with his studies. Mr. Perry is played by Kurtwood Smith, who seems to specialize in uptight, anal retentive characters (he was the sadistic criminal in ROBOCOP and the dirty D.A. in TRUE BELIEVER). Neil's conflict with his father is infuriating, tragic, and in some ways, the heart and soul of the movie.
Director Peter Weir has elicited exceptional performances from his entire cast. Ethan Hawke is a natural as Neil's shy and inhibited roommate, Todd, who suffers from low self-esteem. Under Keating's tutelage, Todd finally learns to express himself and to cultivate a sense of self-worth. Josh Charles is charming and endearing in a down-to-earth John Cusack sort of way as Knox Overstreet, the club's resident tormented, love-struck romantic. The "Dead Poets Society" inspires Knox to find the courage to declare his love to a cute cheerleader who attends the local public high school.
Gale Hansen, Dylan Kussman, Allelon Ruggiero, and James Waterston (actor Sam Waterston's son) round out the cast as the other members of the clandestine club. And while the film doesn't fully develop every character, each one seems complex and genuine, nonetheless. These students are much more than just stock characters. In a radical departure from his role as Dr. Auschlander on "St. Elsewhere," Norman Lloyd evokes fear and contempt as Welton Academy's austere headmaster, Mr. Nolan. His stiff, uncompromising manner reflects the school's oppressive teaching philosophy--a philosophy based on the four pillars of faith: tradition, honor, excellence, and discipline. While the students admire Professor Keating's unconventional style, Mr. Nolan and the faculty react to it with shock and disapproval.
Perhaps the individual most responsible for DEAD POET SOCIETY's impact is Australian director Peter Weir (WITNESS, THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY, MOSQUITO COAST, GALLIPOLI). With the help of Oscar-winning cinematographer John Seale (RAIN MAN, GORILLAS IN THE MIST), Weir has used the medium to its fullest. The director's imaginative camera work and Seale's breathtaking cinematography make the film absorbing and exhilarating. Weir and company shot DEAD POETS SOCIETY almost entirely on location at St. Andrew's School in Delaware, and they have made good use of the school's photogenic qualities, such as its 2,000 acres of beautiful farmland and gloomy stone architecture. Complementing the film's superb direction and acting is Tom Schulman's incredibly literate script, which is based in part on his own experiences at private school.
DEAD POETS SOCIETY is virtually flawless. As you watch the movie, you keep expecting it to make some fatal blunder: to become melodramatic, to succumb to predictable Hollywood cliches, or to milk an easy laugh. But DEAD POETS SOCIETY avoids these pitfalls. Every time you think you know where the film is headed, it surprises you by going in an altogether unforeseen direction. Even Academy Award-winning composer Maurice Jarre's score is immaculate; it is rousing without being overbearing or distracting.
 If you want to see a crazy Robin Williams comedy, go rent POPEYE, because DEAD POETS SOCIETY is for people looking for an intellectually stimulating and emotionally involving cinematic experience.
