public class ClusterState extends java.lang.Object implements ToXContent, Diffable<ClusterState>
RoutingNodes
structure, which is built on demand from the RoutingTable
,
and cluster state status
, which is updated during cluster state publishing and applying
processing. The cluster state can be updated only on the master node. All updates are performed by on a
single thread and controlled by the InternalClusterService
. After every update the
DiscoveryService.publish(org.elasticsearch.cluster.ClusterChangedEvent, org.elasticsearch.discovery.Discovery.AckListener)
method publishes new version of the cluster state to all other nodes in the
cluster. The actual publishing mechanism is delegated to the Discovery.publish(org.elasticsearch.cluster.ClusterChangedEvent, org.elasticsearch.discovery.Discovery.AckListener)
method and depends on
the type of discovery. For example, for local discovery it is implemented by the LocalDiscovery.publish(org.elasticsearch.cluster.ClusterChangedEvent, org.elasticsearch.discovery.Discovery.AckListener)
method. In the Zen Discovery it is handled in the PublishClusterStateAction.publish(org.elasticsearch.cluster.ClusterChangedEvent, int, org.elasticsearch.discovery.Discovery.AckListener)
method. The
publishing mechanism can be overridden by other discovery.
The cluster state implements the Diffable
interface in order to support publishing of cluster state
differences instead of the entire state on each change. The publishing mechanism should only send differences
to a node if this node was present in the previous version of the cluster state. If a node is not present was
not present in the previous version of the cluster state, such node is unlikely to have the previous cluster
state version and should be sent a complete version. In order to make sure that the differences are applied to
correct version of the cluster state, each cluster state version update generates stateUUID
that uniquely
identifies this version of the state. This uuid is verified by the ClusterStateDiff#apply
method to
makes sure that the correct diffs are applied. If uuids don’t match, the ClusterStateDiff#apply
method
throws the IncompatibleClusterStateVersionException
, which should cause the publishing mechanism to send
a full version of the cluster state to the node on which this exception was thrown.| Modifier and Type | Class and Description |

Ratios are calculated annually as the ratio of net anthropogenic carbon emissions (energy and land-use emissions minus anthropogenic sinks) to net carbon sequestration by global plant, soil and ocean systems. Shaded ranges around the central value of each scenario indicate sensitivity of results to primary energy demand. Global surface temperature anomalies projections (Δ T) in 2,100 are indicated at the right, where each coloured bar treats the RE-Low and RE-High scenarios as the endpoints of a continuous range of energy sector decarbonization, plus a fixed rate of CCS. Historical values of RAF and associated errors ( cf.equation (12)) from the IPCC are indicated by green bars 3.


What's the difference?
Performance. FPS. Smoothness. User Experience.
Why?
transform
properties are mostly hardware accelerated and can use the devices GPU for rendering processes. This calculation is mostly faster, than using the CPU, because of the BUS between the CPU and the graphics card.
All other properties, especially those for positions, colors, margins or paddings, are calculated through the CPU.
More about this can be found here.
But...
Like everything else, heavy usage of such effects should be avoided. Give the user some nice feedbacks and eye candies.  He'll get the same type of eye cancer, such as when using <marquee>
or <blink>
.
Some demos
Here are some effect demos, that might be neat to use. You can compare these effects by toggling the or at the top of the page. The sad face will animate with usual properties, like margin
, left
or top
. The happy face will animate with transform
properties.
Slide-In menu
The slide-in menu on the top (mobile only) uses a transition. When using the , you can see some "jumps" while animating.

graphics module¶
Simple object oriented graphics library
The library is designed to make it very easy for novice programmers to experiment with computer graphics in an object oriented fashion. It is written by John Zelle for use with the book “Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science” (Franklin, Beedle & Associates).
LICENSE: This is open-source software released under the terms of the GPL (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html).
PLATFORMS: The package is a wrapper around Tkinter and should run on any platform where Tkinter is available.
INSTALLATION: Put this file somewhere where Python can see it.
OVERVIEW: There are two kinds of objects in the library. The GraphWin class implements a window where drawing can be done and various GraphicsObjects are provided that can be drawn into a GraphWin. As a simple example, here is a complete program to draw a circle of radius 10 centered in a 100x100 window:
- def main():
- win = GraphWin(“My Circle”, 100, 100) c = Circle(Point(50,50), 10) c.draw(win) win.getMouse() # Pause to view result win.close() # Close window when done
main()¶
GraphWin objects support coordinate transformation through the setCoords method and pointer-based input through getMouse.
- The library provides the following graphical objects:
- Point Line Circle Oval Rectangle Polygon Text Entry (for text-based input) Image
Various attributes of graphical objects can be set such as outline-color, fill-color and line-width. Graphical objects also support moving and hiding for animation effects.
The library also provides a very simple class for pixel-based image manipulation, Pixmap. A pixmap can be loaded from a file and displayed using an Image object. Both getPixel and setPixel methods are provided for manipulating the image.
DOCUMENTATION: For complete documentation, see Chapter 4 of “Python Programming: An Introduction to Computer Science” by John Zelle, published by Franklin, Beedle & Associates. Also see http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python for a quick reference

Motsi leaves Strictly fans cringing with awkward affair jibe at Neil Jones
After former Lioness Scott and Jones performed a jive on Saturday night's show, judge Mabuse told them: "It's like seeing a new couple that we (already) knew. But then somebody had an affair... and now the light is back on.
by James Rodger, https://www.facebook.com/jamesrodgerjournalistStrictly Come Dancing judge Motsi Mabuse sparked an awkward moment by making an affair joke as Neil Jones returned to the TV show.
Professional dancer Jones was back on Strictly after missing two live shows because of an injury.
His celebrity partner Alex Scott had danced with Kevin Clifton while Jones was away.
After former Lioness Scott and Jones performed a jive on Saturday night's show, judge Mabuse told them: "It's like seeing a new couple that we (already) knew. But then somebody had an affair... and now the light is back on."
When fellow judge Bruno Tonioli told her that her comments would make headlines, she said: "You guys know what I mean! You know what I'm talking about!"
Viewers commented that the joke was awkward, coming after Jones' then wife Katya hit the headlines for kissing her celebrity partner, comedian Seann Walsh, on the street during the last series of the show.
Neil and Katya announced their separation in August.
They did not blame Walsh for their split and suggested their marriage had become more a friendship than a romance.
The celebrities are competing to get to Blackpool on this weekend's instalment of Strictly.

I have compiled my experiences on systematic and automatic debugging in a university course. This is where you can learn more about the scientific method and delta debugging—but also about many more debugging and analysis techniques, such as statistical debugging, automated testing, or static bug detection. All lecture slides and references are available at http://www.whyprogramsfail.com.
If you are looking specifically for scientific publications of my group, see the delta debugging home page at http://www.st.cs.uni-sb.de/dd.
Finally, a web search on "delta debugging" will point you to a variety of resources, including further publications and implementations.

Some requirements may differ depending on how and where you got Soaplab from. But most requirements are universal.
Soaplab2 should work on any platform because it is written in Java. But keep it mind that Soaplab is just a Web Services gateway to the analysis tools (such as EMBOSS) that you wish to provide. These tools need also to be runnable on the same machine where you install Soaplab2.
Install JDK Java 1.5 or later.
Soaplab2 is about Web Services - and Web Services are web applications run in a servlet container. The development of Soaplab2 was mostly done by using the Apache Tomcat 5. But other container should work, as well.
The Ant is a Java tool for building, executing and playing with Java (and perhaps other, as well) programs. Soaplab2, as most of any Java programs, uses it a lot.
In the time of writing this, however, the Soaplab2 beta version does not have yet support for mySQL.
In the time of writing this, the Soaplab2 beta version still uses Perl for converting ACD files (those describing analyses that will be provided as Web Services) to XML files. The Perl is, however, not used when the services are run.
Also, Soaplab2 is distributed with few testing "analysis" (like echoing command line parameters, or copying input file to an output file) - and those are written in Perl.


To the Ends of the Earth (1948)
Grade: 57/100
Narcotics had been a taboo subject of the production code for years, ever since Reefer Madness (1936) had unintentionally become a cult film for pot smokers. But To the Ends of the Earth not only tackled the epidemic of worldwide opium smuggling, but portrayed the Treasury Department detectives in such a positive light that they provided technical support. Treasury commissioner Harry J. Anslinger even has a cameo appearance.
Always reliable and entertaining Dick Powell is the lead, playing federal agent Michael Barrows. Barrows is a family man who tends his rose gardens in New York City. But he is willing to drop everything at a moment's notice to travel around the world, on the trail of opium smugglers.
The film is set during the mid-1930s. Sinister, unseen Japanese imperialists are behind the shipments. Their scheme is to weaken the West through drug dependency, to facilitate global conquest. Powell follows the trail through China, Egypt, and Cuba. At each turn, he encounters two kinds of people: helpful, courageous, honest government agents, and shady, greedy, ruthless suspects who help produce or smuggle the opium.
To seeming innocents who keep appearing in the story are attractive Ann Grant (Signe Hasso) and her young, orphaned, even more attractive ward, Shu Pan Wu (Maylia).
Powell is a laconic derring-do hero, at one point climbing the side of a cliff to reach suspected poppy fields. His life is frequently in jeopardy, but he remains unflappable. He is completely comfortably in his surroundings, no matter how exotic they may be.
He is also without hormones, which may be uncinematic but perhaps was necessary to retain technical support from the feds. This is the primary difference between Barrows and James Bond: while the femmes may be fatale, he never drops his chivalric guard.
Like in all good detective stories, solving one puzzle leads directly to another. The script and direction is crisp, and there is often some suspense present. The only real problem, then, is the credibility of the characters and of the events themselves. Certainly, opium smugglers would go to the depths depicted to move their wares. But the dramatic suicides and omnipotent agents seem to be from a world unlike our own.

Lack of access to quality education has been identified by the United Nations as one of the world's most pressing problems. At least 250 millions children worldwide have not achieved basic literacy and numeracy. To make matters worse, there is a 100 years gap between educational outcomes in developed and developing countries.
Why is this the case? Unfortunately, access to quality education is limited by factors like geography and wealth. Many regions lack resources to adequately support individual students.
Educational practices throughout most of the world are decades behind what research says is required for effective learning experiences. Textbooks and video lectures, for example, can deliver information, but they cannot cultivate understanding or provide students with the necessary practice and feedback to master a skill. This often results in learning experiences that are neither effective nor enjoyable, causing students to struggle in the classroom and throughout life. Some students even grow to dislike the idea of educational development altogether.
The operating vision of The Oppia Foundation is to help anyone, anywhere learn anything they want in an effective and enjoyable way. Our current focus is on improving access to high-quality, affordable education for students who cannot attend school on a regular basis or whose school doesn’t provide them with a satisfactory learning experience.
The Oppia community works to develop and widely distribute effective, enjoyable online lessons in key subjects that reach millions of people who otherwise lack the necessary resources to learn the material. We want every individual, no matter what their personal circumstances, to have access to learning experiences that are not only pedagogically effective, but also fun and empowering.
Oppia’s unique technology simulates an interactive tutor, adapting each lesson to an individual learner’s needs with specific feedback and hints to help them improve. The platform is designed to allow lessons to be supplemented with subtitles in students’ native languages. Lessons are openly licensed and the platform is entirely open-source, enabling a diverse group of collaborators from around the world to make regular iterative improvements.
To date, over 1,000,000 users from all around the world have used Oppia to learn critical academic skills using more than 20,000 lessons created by our community. In early 2018, we conducted a randomized controlled trial of our first set of curated lessons (Fractions) in a low-income school in Delhi, India. The study showed that these students found lessons engaging and showed a significant improvement in concept mastery compared to a control group. Incredibly, 100% of the students involved in the study said that they would recommend the Oppia lessons to their peers.
Additionally, we have been conducting user studies and pilots with students from around the world, including Cameroon, Zimbabwe, India and the United States. Feedback from these students has illustrated the powerful impact of the Oppia platform, and serves to guide our efforts to improve it further, so that it can serve more students around the world.

After running a full day Saturday at MSR Houston and being in the top 5, our drivers had been complaining that the car was acting odd in the rear end, so we took a look at it. And... we had broken our left rear spring. It was in three pieces. Hmmm, that's odd, we thought. The car had some cheap (because, ummm, it broke) lowering springs on it when we bought it and we didn't have any spares.
So we started walking around the pits looking for a set of rear springs. Usually we were met with the response of, "You broke a spring? I've never heard of that before."
Then we found an e30 with a set of stock rear spring we could use. We put them on, stepped back, and the rear end of the car had to be jacked up at least two inches. But no one else had rear springs that fit, so we decided to go with it. We were arguing all night about how the increased rake would affect the handling of the car.
Sunday it turned out that the car handled just fine. It looked funny, but at least we had four springs instead of three. We were running in 2nd/3rd/4th place coming into our last pit stop and driver change. About when we were pitting, the leader pulled off the track with a blown engine.
During the pit stop, we looked under the car... and there was a puddle of oil. The increased rake of the car had altered the weight distribution and geometry enough to lower the front end a bit, and we cracked our oil pan.
We didn't have a spare oil pan, so we JB welded and duct taped it. It worked good enough to let us limp around to finish 12th, 31 laps down.
All because of a broken spring.


Looking for some action
Posted: Tue May 02, 2006 6:46 am
I'm thinking that after AP exams are done, we should email all those people in the memberlist and get them to come sign up. Let's do some advertising.
I'll release our MapView demo and write a few more tutorials at that point so people have something to play with. I'll see if I can get Deto to release a song or two.
And the most interesting part: contests! We should have contests for people to design interfaces, come up with quest ideas, help us write the storyline, etc. We could give out custom titles or other board-based perks for a prize. (help me out on this one...) Or maybe they'll just do it for fun. But I'd like to see some action on these boards!

General MIDI instrument, used in Program Change messages.
The MIDI protocol defines a Program Change message, which can be used to switch a device among "presets". The General MIDI specification further standardizes those presets into the specific instruments in this enum. General-MIDI-compliant devices will have these particular instruments; non-GM devices may have other instruments.
MIDI instruments are one-indexed in the spec, but they're zero-indexed in code, so we have them zero-indexed here.
This enum has extension methods, such as Name and IsValid, defined in InstrumentExtensionMethods.

AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS (2001) Reviewed by Jerry Saravia August 8th, 2001
I consider it sinful to cast Julia Roberts in a movie nowadays.  Star first, actor second. The truth is that she has always impressed me as an actress first, movie star second. Even in mediocre films like "Sleeping With the Enemy" or "Dying Young," she has proven her worth and her talent is undeniable, particularly her finest Oscar-nominated role in "Erin Brockovich." Amazingly, she is given a tertiary role in producer Joe Roth's directorial debut, "America's Sweethearts." Wise move since it gives us the chance to see Roberts participate in an ensemble for once rather than center stage.
"America's Sweethearts" are Gwen Harrison (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Eddie Thomas (John Cusack), a formerly married movie star couple who have not spoken to each other in a year. Gwen has moved on and carried on an affair with a Spanish hunk (a hilarious Hank Azaria). Eddie has taken leave of absence at a clinic with the help of a long silvery-haired guru (Alan Arkin) to try and recuperate. Gwen has gone solo at the movies sans Eddie and has remained a box-office flop ever since. Now rumors abound that a new film called "Time After Time" (the last time the pair had appeared together onscreen) has finally been completed by a revered, Oscar-nominated director Hal Weidmann (Christopher Walken). The trick is that Weidmann refuses to show the film until the day of the press junket. This drives irate studio chief, Dave Kingman (Stanley Tucci), insane. He decides to enlist the help of sly press agent, Lee Philips (Billy Crystal), to concoct a supposed reconciliation between Gwen and! Eddie so that their new film ca n become a hit. Lee seeks the help of Gwen's personal assistant and sister, Kiki (Julia Roberts), to make this work. But will Gwen and Eddie be able to stand each other? And is Kiki interested in Eddie since he once kissed her when he was drunk?
"America's Sweethearts" is an old-fashioned Hollywood romance masquerading as a smart satire on Hollywood, as well as mixing a dash of the screwball comedy genre. It is not an even mix considering that the screwball portion is left on the sidelines (except for one slightly tired bit about a dog) and hardly coaxes much out of a romantic triangle that feels a tinge forced, lacking the punch that leads to an expected payoff. The satire on Hollywood is by now a cliche but it leads to the zingiest scenes in the film (the screenplay was co-written by Billy Crystal). In other words, the film is often a mess but an enjoyable mess nonetheless.
I was surprised by how good the performances were and how well-timed in terms of comic pacing. Catherine Zeta-Jones ends up stealing the movie from everyone and deservedly so. She plays the bitchiest diva on screen in quite some time, and about as needy and cumbersome as one can expect. She has no conscience and demands too much from her overworked sister, Kiki. Zeta-Jones' scenes with Roberts lacks some insight but they are still believable as siblings.
John Cusack may have the toughest role as Eddie since we know he is still in love with Gwen after their break-up - he also develops feelings rather quickly for Kiki. Only we wonder what was so wonderful about a bitchy goddess like Gwen? What exactly did Eddie see in her? Cusack has played a sad sack before but here, he does it with more restraint than usual. His dinner scene with Roberts is breathlessly good, exuding more romantic charisma than in most teen romance comedies.
I am a big, supportive fan of Julia Roberts and always look forward to seeing her onscreen. In this film, Roberts, like Cusack, is a bit more laid-back than usual and it serves the purpose of the character Kiki. She is at her winsome best and has a terrific scene where she erupts with rage at Cusack and Zeta-Jones by dumping scrambled eggs on them! Also, it is a rarity to see Roberts in a flashback appearing forty pounds heavier!
There is also a great supporting cast at hand, including Crystal who is simply marvelous as always as the anything-goes press agent who is willing to create drama in the actors' lives to promote a film. Seth Green is astoundingly funny as Crystal's naive trainee who has no concept of film history. Also worth mentioning is the amazing Christopher Walken, playing an eccentric director who claims to have made the most honest film of his career ("Even Kubrick was misunderstood.").
"America's Sweethearts" is largely and consistently funny enough to get a passing grade. A riotous last half-hour gives it the necessary lift it so desperately needs. The whole cast is sweetly engaging but Roberts is still my favorite sweetheart.

Welcome to the Greathouse lab at Baylor University. In this memo I set out to describe my expectations of myself as a mentor and you as a part of the project and lab. Some elements are simply practical ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’ but many touches on the issue of collaboration and team science.
My goal as a mentor is to support and empower each team member to articulate and achieve his/her goals within the team’s vision. As a mentor, I am committed to helping you to develop scientific skills and learn the nuances of microbial genomics. I strive to help you achieve success along your chosen career path through assisting with networking, identifying opportunities and tackling complex scientific question. Most often I can do this by assembling the resources and sharing the formative successes and failures I (and others) have faced along the way. I may or may not be the right mentor to you at every stage (due to my own professional and academic limitations), but I will try to be a resource for identifying others who can help guide you in that role.
- Lab meetings
A Greathouse lab meeting is every week (varies from semester depending on teaching schedule) for approximately 1 – 1.5 hours. This is an informal meeting in which people ‘open up their notebooks’ and talk about what they’ve worked on since the last meeting. It’s also a great time to bring analyzed data and discuss how to interpret or visualize the central findings. Admittedly, most people use powerpoint slides at this point to guide the discussion. The lab meeting schedule is posted on the OneNote along with upcoming meetings and my travel dates. At lab meeting, I will discuss hiring decisions that are in progress; e.g. potential post-docs, students, staff. I will also let you know about my upcoming deadlines – proposals, talks. This is a private meeting and everything discussed here is considered in confidence. Attendance is mandatory – if you are running over or have a conflict on a particular day, let me know.
- Outside meetings
- Attendance at one outside meeting a year is typically supported and encouraged. There are myriad of larger and smaller meetings. Think about what you want to learn, whom you want to meet, etc.
- You should receive pre-approval before registering for a meeting. I try to balance how many people from the lab attend the various meetings and who is going to submit what lab projects.
- A student can attend more than one meeting a year if for example s/he is presenting a talk, looking for a job.
- You can present your own unpublished work, recognizing the balance between the benefit of interacting with colleagues and possible competition to publish. However, you are not allowed to present or discuss other lab members’ unpublished data or even the experiments that are underway without specific permission from the lab member and myself. Similarly, if you give me pictures or slides of your unpublished work, I will not present it without specifically discussing this with you.
- Travel
- Send me an email with the BU TAF travel form filled out and include your preferred departure time and date, hotel, and return. If there is a meeting rate for hotels, there is some flexibility about you booking your own hotel room. Remember everything needs to be booked about a month in advance for domestic, non-sponsored travel. Please ask me for details before you consider foreign or sponsored travel.
- Money and property.
- Do not pay for things personally and expect to be paid back. There is no ‘petty cash’ for me to reimburse you.
- Please let me know when reagents or equipment needs to be ordered WELL IN ADVANCE
- You cannot take a computer or other device (projector) off campus without a property pass.
- My work habits
- My core hours at work are 8:30 AM to 6 PM. My teaching schedule is usually on Tuesdays and Thursday, but varies by semester, but is posted on my door.
- Usually e-mail is the best way to reach me. I usually read and respond to emails in the morning before 8 AM and throughout the day.
- If I have not responded to an email in 2 days, feel free to bug me. Sometimes I don’t know the answer and need to find out.
- If I’m travelling, I will try to tell people this in advance at lab meeting.
- If I’m on vacation and do not plan to respond to e-mails, I will turn on my ‘out of office’ automatic response.
- If you really need to contact me immediately, my cell phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. I probably have the ringer turned off. Email, text, phone the number above.
- My expectations of your work habits
- Maintain core hours that are allowed by your student work schedule, and for which we have agreed upon. I do understand that people value a flexible work schedule. It will not always be possible to accommodate this when you are running an experiment with other lab members or collaborators.
- On occasion, I may need you to work over the weekend if I have a grant or manuscript deadline.
- Respond to emails, even just to give me an estimate of when you will have an answer for me, within 2 days.
- Turn on your out of office automatic response if you are sick/on vacation and do not plan to respond to e-mail.
- Notebook, record keeping
- All molecular biology experiments should be stored in notebooks, real-time data on OneNote and data archived on a https://github.com/GreathouseLab when submitted and finally published. All primary data for a manuscript should also be stored on the lab OneNote archive for wet (bench) work or on https://github.com/GreathouseLab for data analysis.
- Electronic notebooks should be kept on https://github.com/GreathouseLab – of course I expect that you will be keeping a hard copy of any data and analysis in a notebook as well.
- Primary sequencing data are stored by Baylor College of Medicine and/or on the Kodiak servers under the Greathouse user group – if you need access contact Mike Hutchinson. I require documentation of all coding scripts (Stata or R code) to repeat the analysis if needed at a later date. This means that if you write any analysis code, you will need the data file and Stata .do or R Markdown file that can run this analysis to generate the results.
- For all publications that use primary data and statistical analysis, I require for publication either a Stata .do code file or R markdown file that can generate the entire analysis with one data file (with notes so that it can be adequately reproduced).
- Authorship, publication
- By no means are you allowed to submit a manuscript by yourself (this will constitute automatic dismissal) having to do with any data produced or review of literature we have conducted. This is a task I take very seriously and have to make sure all co-authors and collaborators are given ample time to approve before submission.
- If you are submitting an abstract for a meeting, please send it to me at least 2 days in advance for approval. If it’s an abstract that you’ve submitted previously, please still let me know. Sometimes there is authorship or other considerations based on who else is attending the meeting. If collaborators are authors, please send 5 days in advance so that we can give others a reasonable amount of time to read and decide if they want to be included.
- When you make a significant intellectual or experimental contribution to a project, then you will typically be an author on the manuscript.
- However, there have often been considerable resources devoted to a project before you ever receive the samples/data to analyze (e.g.; development of an IRB approved protocol, recruitment of patients). Even if others do not contribute a figure to a paper, they may also deserve authorship.
- Authorship (including order of authors) is always discussed before a manuscript is submitted from the lab.
- Within one month of final acceptance it the responsibility of every author (and particularly the first author) to ensure that all data and scripts are archived with me on the shared drive. I may get requests for data or data used to generate a figure months and years after publication.
- Collaboration
- Do not send or give reagents to someone who asks you for them. Send them on to me. We may have received the reagent from another lab and not be allowed to share it. Or we may not be able to freely distribute reagents (especially clinical samples) without paperwork and justification. Or the person requesting the reagent may be a direct competitor of an existing collaborator.
- Please do not initiate a new collaborations, copy me on initial email interaction. I ultimately assume responsibility for all transactions (sequencing, cell lines, clinical samples).
- If there is a misunderstanding or a conflict with a collaborator – talk to me. Hopefully this won’t happen because you will consult with me first if you feel uneasy about an email or interaction. Remember that the lab may have multiple interactions with this lab or individuals that could be impacted. We might also have a history with this individual that helps to explain what you perceive to be an odd response.
- Media Contacts
- If you are contacted by an outside news or media person/entity about your work that was published, congratulations! But please let me know first BEFORE you agree to talk them. I will need to vet the source and give my approval.
- If want to blog, vlog, or podcast your published work that’s great, I support your scientific endeavors. However, please do NOT write or speak about any unpublished data, especially critical for patents or industry partnerships

As I write this, 228 people have been certified to teach Software Carpentry workshops, of whom 136 have taught in the past twelve months. That's amazing, but as I said in a previous post, growth in one part of a pipeline inevitably turns another into a bottleneck. In our case, that bottleneck is organizational: Arliss Collins and Giacomo Peru are stretched to the limit handling requests and lining up instructors, and we're still not keeping up with demand.
This kind of work can't be done by a volunteers in bits and pieces: the startup overheads are significant, as is the context required to manage each conversation, and there are time when mail really needs to be answered right now, not when it's convenient. We are therefore asking our Partners to organize workshops in their region, and hope that others will shoulder some of the burden as well.
We're also trying once again to build a tool to simplify workshop management. I have started a simple Django application called Amy to keep track of who wants a workshop, who can teach what, who our learners have been, and so on. The data model is mostly done, and I've included a dump of our existing database with personal information redacted to aid further development and testing.
All Amy can do now is display information. What we want to do is add and edit new data. If you'd like to help, please fork the project and send us pull requests—we'd be grateful for your help.

Cyclist creates festive art by riding reindeer route
Anthony Hoyte cycled nearly 80 miles to trace out the route on the streets of London.
A cyclist has brought some festive cheer to the streets of London by pedalling an image of a reindeer.
Anthony Hoyte, from Cheltenham, creates art by planning intricate routes that form images on maps, then recording his rides using the Strava fitness tracker app.
And his latest effort – his third annual Christmas image – may be his most impressive yet.
“I’m pretty happy with it,” the 51-year-old told the PA news agency. “You plan them all out but until you get back and upload it, you’re not quite sure whether it’s going to work or not.”
Mr Hoyte’s impressive 79-mile route started in Hammersmith in west London, went north as far as Edgware before heading south again and east through Hampstead Heath and Wood Green.
Finally he returned south through Kilburn and Maida Vale before finishing along Euston Road in central London.
At nine hours, it pushed him about as far as he can go, even as a regular club cyclist.
“I live in the countryside and it’s very different to coming into London,” he said. “Particularly around Neasden and Wembley, it’s not the most pleasant cycling.
“That’s about my maximum distance – I wouldn’t want to go too much above that. It’s a long day in the saddle.”
Mr Hoyte, a heritage consultant, has produced around a dozen pieces of art on his bike, and believes his training as a product designer helps in the creative process of planning the routes.
“I just spend a lot of time looking at maps and it’s waiting for things to jump out at you,” he said. “Normally I look at maps until I see something – ‘That looks a bit like a nose’ – so I think ‘Where can I find eyes near that?’
“It’s like looking at patterns in clouds and seeing pictures.
“With these ones it’s a bit more tricky because I’m trying to do something festive so it’s harder, but it’s the same process really.”
Other routes Mr Hoyte has cycled include a Yorkshire terrier in Leeds, two elephants in Birmingham, and a flock of birds in Bristol.
In 2017 he produced his first festive work by cycling a snowman in London and he followed it up last year with Santa in Birmingham.

But in the end, the reindeer turned out almost exactly as planned.
“There’s a little glitch in there near Shepherd’s Bush where I obviously lost the GPS signal and it creates a straight line that cuts through a couple of street blocks, but that’s minor,” he said.
“I made a couple of mistakes but they’re so small that nobody’s going to notice really. I’m happy. It looks how I wanted it to look.”


A weekend retreat exploring the relationship between meditation and the brain.
Find Out MoreMeditation is more than just relaxation or focus. Meditation is cultivating particular types of consciousness that are flowing rather than fixed. Until recently meditation was a practice with no tangible tools, apart from one’s own body, mind and environment. Now - with modern 'bio-sensing' technology - everyone can take a look under the hood and see how the brain changes with shifts of awareness.
A truly holistic approach to meditation must look into the practitioner’s subjective experience as well as the structure and function of their physiology. Imagine practicing astronomy, without a satellite or telescope. Imagine practicing biology without a microscope. Soon it will be hard to imagine exploring the mind-body relationship without utilizing bio-sensing tools.
This weekend retreat will include:
Explore your consciousness while we guide you through a flow of different meditation techniques.
Learn about the brain as we delve into the state of the art science of neuroplasticity and neurofeedback using EEG bio-sensors.
Kick back and relax as we explore sound meditation and walking meditations in nature. Enjoy Kripalu's many workshops and yoga classes.
Refresh and be happy at a gorgeous retreat center in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains. Relaxation guaranteed.
Steven is founder of the Freestyle Meditation Community and faculty member at Kripalu Center, in Stockbridge MA. He leads meditation classes, workshops and retreats throughout the Northeast, using an approach that affirms each person’s natural instincts and intelligence. Steven holds a degree in exercise physiology, is an athlete, musician and self-taught sushi chef. For more information visit Steven's website.
Andrew is a cognitive neuroscientist with expertise in brain rhythms and human learning. As a postdoctoral fellow at Dartmouth College, most of his days are spent running brain-imaging studies to understand how brain rhythms are related to learning and what makes memories “stick.” He brings more than a decade of brain science experience to the retreat, and will lead the EEG demonstrations and present neuroscience lecture material. Outside of his day job, he is an avid backpacker, musician, proponent of open science, and meditation enthusiast. For more information visit Andrew's website.

Description
This an application inspired by the hyperledger fabric v0.6 marble trading tutorial. This application handles the scenario when 3 people want to trading away their marbles with the fact that their wish can only be satisfy when the 3 people exchange their marbles at the same time in a circular way, ie, the successful exchange of marbles could not happen within one single trade. All trading logic happens in chaincode @ hyperledger fabric v1.0.

public class QueueCommunicationSetup extends java.lang.Object implements TwoPartyCommunicationSetup, org.apache.commons.exec.TimeoutObserver
This implementation uses the JMS API for sending and receiving messages. JMS enables distributed communication that is loosely coupled. A component sends a message to a destination, and the recipient can retrieve the message from the destination. However, the sender and the receiver do not have to be available at the same time in order to communicate. In fact, the sender does not need to know anything about the receiver; nor does the receiver need to know anything about the sender. The sender and the receiver only need to know which message format and which destination to use. In this respect, messaging differs from tightly coupled technologies, like Remote Method Invocation (RMI), which require an application to know a remote application’s methods. Moreover, the JMS API knows how to automatically recover from communication failures; in case a connection falls during the communication, it is automatically reconnected. In addition, messages cannot get lost in the communication. A queue is therefore a far more robust method of communication. In SCAPI’s implementation, the server manages two queues between each pair of parties P1 and P2; one of them is used for P1 to send messages and for P2 to receive them, and the other is used for P2 to send messages and for P1 to receive them. This class work on any concrete implementation, by getting the concrete ConnectionFactory in the constructor. Along with the factory, the constructor should accept a concrete instance of DestroyDestinationUtil that deletes the queues created by the connection of the given factory. For example, if the factory is ActiveMQConnectionFactory than the util instance should be ActiveMQDestroyer. Note that in JMS the parameters of the connection are given in the uri of the factory. For that reason, after the factory has been created there is no possibility to change the communication parameters. For example, enableNagle function throws an exception since the enabling/disabling of Nagle's algorithm was already determined in the factory uri. It is up to the user to give the parameters he wants in the factory uri.

TwoPartyCommunicationSetup
The constructor of the concrete classes should receive the data of the two parties participate in the communication. After that, this function initiates the creation of the final actual connections between the parties.
Each connection has a unique name, that we call ID. This name used to distinguish between the created connections in order to make it easier and more convenient to understand what is the usage of each connection. In this function, the names of the connections are chosen by default, meaning the connections are numbered according to their index. i.e the first connection's name is "1", the second is "2" and so on.
If this function succeeds, the application may use the send and receive functions of the created channels to pass messages.
In this function, Nagle's algorithm is disabled; for cryptographic protocols this is typically much better. In order to use the Nagle algorithm, call the enableNagle() function.

The constructor of the concrete classes should receive the data of the two parties participate in the communication. After that, this function initiates the creation of the final actual connections between the parties.

GRISBI (TOUCHEZ PAS AU GRISBI) (director: Jacques Becker; cast: Jean Gabin (Max), René Dary (Riton), Dora Doll (Lola), Paul Frankeur (Pierrot), Jeanne Moreau (Josy), Michel Jourdan (Marco), Lino Ventura (Angelo), Marilyn Buterd (Betty), Daniel Cauchy (Fifi), Fr.-1953)
A masterfully done noir piece. It is the kind of work that pre-dated the great Jean-Pierre Melville's classic Bob The Gambler. Its story is told in a laconic style about an ageing, Runyonesque type of gangster, Max (Gabin). He pulled what he hopes is his last job some months ago; he stole 50 million francs in gold bars from the Orly Airport. The aim of this weary hood is to retire in style, which means a fancy car, pad, girls, and to frequent expensive restaurants. Max exudes class, self-confidence, loyalty, and a sense of generosity to those he likes.These characteristics have now become part of gangster film lore: that is, whenever gangsters are pictured in a romantic and old-fashioned manner.
Max has been friends and partners with Riton (René Dary) for 20 years.
The two of them are dating these show girls, who take them to see their nightclub act. At the club, a local gangster, Angelo (Lino), is dealing drugs and asks Max to recommend to him someone he can trust to work for him.  When she tells him that she doesn't want to see Riton again, she implores Max to help her, that she is scared to tell him this.
When Max leaves the club he notices that he is being followed by Angelo' boys. Quickly he realizes that something is up and he calls Riton to warn him to not go with Angelo on any business deals, something fishy is going on. He then takes Riton to a secret apartment he has and shows him where he stashed the gold bars. He warns Riton to stay away from Josy and just sit tight, he will take the gold to a fence and work things out for them. But the pig-headed Riton goes to the femme fatale Josy, who has Angelo's boys waiting in the room for him. Their plan was to corner either Max or Riton and beat it out of them where the money was hidden.
The action packed climax is very suspenseful; it culminates as Max watches his dreams go up in flames. Max just couldn't leave Riton to die in the hands of Angelo's mob. So when contacted by Angelo, they work out some place on a dark country road where they can make an exchange of Riton for the gold. To do this Max elicits the help of another old-time hood, Pierrot (Frankeur), to supply the guns and manpower needed to get Riton back.
What distinguishes this film over most other noir films, is the grace it has and its ability to take its time and do a real character study of what Max is like. We see him put on glasses to use the phone, carefully open a bottle of the right kind of wine, treat his favorite restaurant owner with a graciousness and benovolence reserved only for the aristocratic. And the director was just as interested in doing those scenes, as he was in filming the action ones. A great b/w film in every way possible. It has a hypnotic rhythm about it that takes you right into the gangster atmosphere it presents on screen; there is not one wasted shot.
