Java Date-Time Packages
The Date-Time APIs, introduced in JDK 8, are a set of packages
that model the most important aspects of date and time. The core
classes in the java.time package use the calendar system
defined in ISO-8601 (based on the Gregorian calendar system) as the
default calendar. Other non-ISO calendar systems can be represented
using the java.time.chrono package and several predefined
chronologies, such as Hijrah and Thai Buddhist are provided.
API Specification
-
java.time - Classes for date, time, date and time
combined, time zones, instants, duration, and clocks.
-
java.time.chrono - API for representing calendar
systems other than ISO-8601. Several predefined chronologies are
provided and you can also define your own chronology.
-
java.time.format - Classes for formatting and parsing
dates and time.
-
java.time.temporal - Extended API, primarily for
framework and library writers, allowing interoperations between the
date and time classes, querying, and adjustment. Fields and units
are defined in this package.
-
java.time.zone - Classes that support time zones,
offsets from time zones, and time zone rules.
- JSR 310: Date and
Time API

--- layout: post title: Asp.net hosting undocumented tags: [iis, asp.net] ---
I’ve wanted to write about the full ASP.net stack for a long time, and thanks to Roy, I now find the time and the will to go down the rabbit hole. If you thought the whole aspx page model is already complex, you’re going to discover that this is only the tip of the iceberg of what is really happening.
We’re going to get down the rabbit
hole, and look at what happens whenever your browser sends an HTTP request to your
beloved .net server. You thought it was simple, boy were you wrong! Please note that
I’m going to talk about two cases: IIS5 (Windows 2000 and windows XP) and IIS6 (Windows
Server 2003).
Whenever you type a URL, your browser
establishes a connection to your web server, and start sending a piece of very simple
text, called an HTTP Request. On the listening side, you’ve got a web server (how
obvious is that), that is reading this data. The server, in our case IIS, relies on
an extensibility model: ISAPI extensions and filters, which are C++ dlls that can
be initialized by the server and process the request on their own. As a side note
and for general culture, an extension is attached to a file extension while a filter
is always in the IIS process and is there for every request. Asp.net have both a filter
and an extension, but we’ll only concentrate on the filter for today.
As some of you probably know, ISAPI
filters are used for most of the popular Microsoft IIS centric pieces of software,
including plain ol’ ASP, FrontPage extensions, and obviously asp.net.
But IIS itself is no longer only
one and one only. IIS5 was there way before .net, and rely on the same mechanism as
his parents. Junior, IIS6, is a child of the .net era, and a completely new creation.
While they look the same, inside they are completely different.
The IIS5 process is inetinfo.exe,
and listens by itself on the correct port to process the incoming calls. Whenever
he receives an http request, he’s going to look at all of its isapi extensions to
find the one handling it. If none is found, the request is going to return the file
resource requested, or one of the numerous error codes you all love. If a filter is
found, he’s going to initialize the filter somewhere, depending on the application
protection that you defined in your MMC snap-in.
Instead of staying into the living
room, on the couch, listening for the doorbell to ring, drinking a beer, yelling in
front of tv… bad… childhood… memories… must… forget… IIS6 relies on two components:
http.sys and w3wp.exe.
The http.sys, as its name strongly
suggest, is a kernel mode driver. Its role is to listen on a tcp port, and fetch the
data around as needed. That means that instead of executing into the user space, it
is going down in the basement. It’s dark, and as is popular to say, “in kernel mode
no one can hear you scream”. If there were a problem down there, chances are that
your operating system would die instantly. So why in the name of god did mommy Microsoft
put the first of the now revealed twins in such a dangerous place?
I know you look at that, and I
can certainly hear the sound of your “aaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah” moment. The http.sys
driver can process all the requests very efficiently. But I can also feel you being
afraid of the dark. If I execute unknown code down in the kernel, that could be a
serious issue right? Absolutely right, and that’s exactly why the http.sys driver
doesn’t do it at all.
Each one of these worker processes
execute the isapi dll in process, so in a pure IIS6 environment you wouldn’t use dllhost
anymore. In case of crash, your web server always continues to execute incoming requests,
and only your isapi dlls set on your application pool dies. As http.sys relies on
w3wp to process user code, as long as it doesn’t die on itself, the driver has no
external risk associated with foreign code execution.
For .net, our ISAPI extension is
named ASPNET_ISAPI.dll. Whenever an incoming request match the file extension to which
the isapi filter is attached, IIS is going to initialize this dll. What is it doing?
Here again, IIS5 and IIS6 differ wildly.
To go more into details (and we’re
much into details, or you wouldn’t be that far in the article), the isapi is going
to check if the worker process is present or not. If not it creates it. In both case,
it is going to create an asynchronous named pipe, onto which the request is going
to be sent, after a handshake which will ensure proper communication and allow for
transmitting authentication information.
It is interesting to notice that,
because there can only be one asp.net worker process, all of your asp.net applications
are running in one process. That invalidates completely the application protection feature
of IIS5, even more if you choose to run it under different credentials.
There’s also a special case. The
ISAPI dll actually reads the machine.config file whenever IIS5 is started. If you
configured, in the processModel element, the enabled attribute to false, the worker
process is not going to be used, and is instead going to be hosted internally in the
inetinfo.exe process.
Finally, on the security side,
from what I’ve said you could assume that setting the process impersonation in your
machine.config file would not work. It does, but instead of executing the worker process
under a different credential, IIS sets the token to the correct credential on the
thread executing the request, which is then set in the application domain of your
web application.
The next step is obviously to be
able to link the unmanaged code containing the request (the worker process side) with
the managed code turning it into an aspx page, an asmx web service, or in anything
else that can be generated from ASP.net.
Let’s assume that no previous AppDomain
were created for your web application when the first request goes through. The worker
process is going to call the following method on the AppDomainFactory object.
The second thing you see is that
it’s given a module (that is, more or less, an assembly file), a typeName,
and a few other parameters that are quite self descriptive. Also note that the return
value is an object, as this is going to be very important. Let’s look at what this
method is doing.
|
|
“bin” |
|
PrivateBinPathProbe |
* |
|
ShadowCopyFiles |
True |
|
ApplicationBase |
The appPath formatted (and validated)
as a Uri.
Interestingly
enough, the cleaning method used, which I used as well in many projects, is to create
a new Uri and return the passed argument as Uri.ToString() |
|
ApplicationName |
appName |
|
ConfigurationFile |
web.config |
|
DisallowCodeDownload |
true |
Another nice thing to know is that
whenever this Evidence based list is constructed, the framework is going to look at
the Host evidences. If any Zone evidence is defined (see System.Security.Policy.Zone),
the Zone for “My Computer” is automatically added to the evidences.
Finally, a new Host evidence is
added using the strUrlOfAppOrigin.
|
|
* |
|
.appId |
appId |
|
.appPath |
appPath |
|
.appVPath |
appVPath |
|
.domainId |
domainId |
|
.appName |
appName |
By default, the appdomain have
no permission at all (PermissionState.None) for all of the code in it (the AllMembershipCondition).
We then open up this by providing
an unrestricted permission set (PermissionState.Unrestricted) to the Microsoft
signed dlls (StrongNameMembershipCondition).
Finally, we add the permissions
defined for the application, based on its url and it’s zone.
Well, yes, the naming convention
is a bit awkward, but it does reflect the reality of two chained runtimes. The first
one is responsible for the link between the unmanaged and the managed world, the second
one is all good managed implementation.
The wonders with calling a static
method like the HttpRuntime.ProcessRequest is that on the first call, a lot of things
are going to happen to construct this object. The static constructor for HttpRuntime
is going to first call the Initialize method. It is the place where the registry is
traversed to find the Path key that you can find yourself in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ASP.NET\version\Path,
and initialize the s_installDirectory private variable.
We’ve been through the whole stack
from the HTTP request up to the beginning of the official asp.net http pipeline. But
if you look at many other articles on the subject of asp.net hosting,you might notice
that they in fact talk about two other classes: ApplicationHost and SimpleWorkerRequest.
What exactly is the difference with this scheme?
As the name strongly suggest, ApplicationHost is
a class that has been created to help application developers host asp.net outside
of the IIS environment. It is a separate mechanism that IIS doesn’t use at all. However,
by calling the CreateApplicationHost method, you go through the exact same
process as the IISAPIRuntime interface, with one strong difference: The code
explicitly check for the underlying platform being NT.
As for SimpleWorkerRequest,
it is a very simple “data” class that lets you either execute your asp.net pages within
the isolation mechanism of AppDomains, through the first constructor and the CreateApplicationHost method,
or from your own AppDomain through the second constructor of that class.
We’ve gone very deeply in the unofficial
asp.net relationship with IIS. What do you want to see in the future? How mono works?
How things are modified in asp.net 2.0? Or uncover some secrets from the “official”
http pipeline?

Using data to drive social change
Black Sash has enlisted high tech data analysis in its toolkit to fight social problems as part of the Make All Voices Count (MAVC) programme. The MAVC project is part of a global initiative that has helped empower Community Based Organisations in South Africa to actively participate in citizen-based monitoring of three government services in 20 service sites across the country.
From its roots as a women’s anti-apartheid struggle organisation, Black Sash has today evolved in to a modern data-driven non-profit that works tirelessly to ensure that South African citizens get the services to which they are entitled. It assists the most vulnerable in our society by measuring and monitoring government services, like grant payments, clinics and local government, through its Community Based Monitoring Programme.
An example of this data-driven approach is a highly successful Black Sash campaign that took voluminous amounts of data collected from communities all over South Africa and government departments, and transformed it into easy-to-understand posters to educate people about the various services they were entitled to receive. They have worked closely with civic code-for-good non-profit, Code for South Africa, as part of a School of Data programme, to integrate data collection and analysis as part of their workflow. “We use open source tools that are quite easy to use to do the data analysis and cleaning,” says Jason Norwood-Young, data journalist with Code for South Africa. “These free tools — such as Open Refine (for cleaning) and Google Spreadsheets (for analysis) are within the reach of all non-profits, and as data becomes more important in this sector, we see more and more civic organisations learning basic data literacy.”
Once the data had been analysed, School of Data’s Cape Town fellow, Hannah Williams, visualised the data in posters. “It seemed an unusual choice for data, but we wanted to start conversations between the community organisations and government, and that’s difficult to do around a computer screen or pages and pages of work. Having people cluster around a poster and discuss it, however, is a very different and more inclusive experience,” says Williams.
“Black Sash has now begun a programme using the posters to educate communities on what they are entitled to,” says Deena Bosch, Make All Voices Count Project Manager. “Black Sash is currently supporting various community organisations to convene dialogues between community stakeholders and government departments that it monitored, and the results so far have been excellent.”
About the Make All Voices Count programme
Collection
Black Sash collected data from 12 SASSA pay points, five clinics, and two local government offices for its first monitoring and evaluation phase. Both frontline staff and citizens were interviewed for the clinics and pay points.
By partnering with community groups, Black Sash got feet on the ground in five provinces. Results were captured electronically on iPads at the locations by volunteers, and fed through to Black Sash's head office in Cape Town.
All in all, 20 community partners monitored 20 government services for this phase of Black Sash's M&E programme.
Cleaning
As is typical for a data-driven project, data cleaning took a large amount of effort. Black Sash and Code4SA used Open Refine to clean the data - a tool initially developed by Google with the express intent of cleaning data.
Open Refine can find spelling differences between words, and standardise on the correct spelling, such as "Johannesburg" versus "Johanesburg", "Joburg" or "JHB".
The format of the questionnaire response was also not in a feasible format for analysis, so Open Refine was used to combine certain rows and simplify the data where necessary.
Each questionnaire had to be meticulously cleaned, although certain recipes were created from one result set that could be applied to others.
Analysis
We used Google Spreadsheets to analyse the cleaned data. In particular, the pivot tables feature was used extensively to answer questions like: "Are the staff at this clinic well trained to provide quality service?", or "Does the physical condition of the building make a good working environment?".
Pivot tables can also quickly give us demographics, like sex and age, and we could separate the data along these lines. Through this methodology, we could quickly see how gender or age would affect the experience of citizens at the various clinics, SASSA offices and government.
Presentation
One of the core purposes of Black Sash’s monitoring projects is to create dialogue between citizens and the service providers, and simply putting the results on the internet would not have fulfilled this purpose. By going a different route from the typical data project, Black Sash created data posters with the help of School of Data Fellow Hannah Williams.
The posters created a physical focal point that communities and representatives from the organisations could literally gather around and discuss the results.
The data design assumed no data literacy, the visuals had to speak for themselves and deliver their message without the need for lengthy explanations.
While being simple, they had to adequately surface the problems that citizens were experiencing at public service points, and not "dumb down" the data or patronise any parties.

Getting Started¶
Basic Usage - Dealing with OBs, individually¶
The pymusepipe wrapper is meant to provide the user with a simple way to run the MUSE pipeline.
Only three steps are needed:
preparing the data (download),
preparing the configuration files (templates are provided),
using the code (a few lines at most).
I recommend to use Ipython
as an environment, possibly via
a screen
or tmux
which would allow you to disconnect from the server that
actually runs the commands.
Step 1: Preparing your data¶
The first thing to do is to prepare the folder structure to welcome your MUSE datasets.
Imagine you have:
a target or field named e.g.
NGC1000
.several datasets. In the simplest cases this corresponds to data from one MUSE Observing Block (OB), including all the calibration and science object raw data files, as downloaded from the ESO archive. In practice pymusepipe will also reduce several OBs, provided all the necessary calibrations are avaiable. Some functionality requires a distinction between dataset and pointing. This distinction is described in Targets and Mosaicking.
Then under your data root folder <my_data_folder> create the following folder structure:
<my_data_folder>/NGC1000
./OB001
./Raw
./OB002
./Raw
./OB003
./Raw
Each dataset, or OB for short, has a Raw
folder.
The next step is to download your MUSE data (including raw calibrations) from the
ESO web site, and put all the raw files (in fitsor fits.gz format) into each individual
Raw
folders, associated with the right dataset.
Step 2: Preparing your configuration files¶
pymusepipe only needs two configurations ascii files:
-
calib_tables.dic
, which contains a series of file names associated with muse static calibration files and other configuration files (e.g. fitler lists). Most names are self-explantory. These include:geo_table and astro_table: static files, time dependent geometry files can be specified (see
rc.dic
).badpix_table, vignetting_mask, std_flux_table, extinct_table, line_catalog, statical calibrations provided with the MUSE pipeline, no need to change these.
filter_list : used in case you wish to provide your own. Note that the file it needs to follow the MUSE standard for such a table.
-
rc.dic
, which provides the root folders for the static calibration files and for your datasets.root provides the root folder for your data. For Target NGC1000, and OB 1, the Raw data will be looked for in root/NGC1000/OB001/Raw.
musecalib should contain the standard MUSE calibration files. These are distributed in the MUSE pipeline installation in a “muse-calib-x.x.x/cal” folder.
musecalib_time: time dependent geometry and astrometry files (the correspondence between observing run dates and specific files are hard-coded into pymusepipe).
Examples of such files are provided in the config_templates
folder of the pymusepipe package.
Step 3: Running the pipeline¶
Here is an example of how to run the pipeline to reduce a single OB (dataset):
# Import the modules
import pymusepipe as pmp
from pymusepipe import musepipe
# define the paths to the two configuration files
rcfile = "my_data/MUSE/Config/rc.dic"
calfile = "my_data_MUSE/Config/calib_tables.dic"
# Initialisation of the python - MusePipe Class - structure
mypipe = musepipe.MusePipe(targetname="NGC1000", dataset=1, rc_filename=rcfile,
cal_filename=calfile, log_filename="NGC1000_version01.log",
fakemode=False, overwrite_astropy_table=True,
filter_list="white,Cousins_R",
filter_for_alignment="Cousins_R")
# Launching the pipeline
mypipe.run_recipes()
That’s it! Your data has now been reduced!
Some explanation may be needed to understand what is happening:
targetname
: is just the name of the target, used to decided where the data will be
dataset
: the number of the OB that will be used, namely “OB001” etc.
logfile
: name of the logging file.
fakemode
: you can set this to True if you just wish to initialise things without actually running any recipes. The pipeline will only set things up but if you run any recipes will only “fake” them (not launch any esorex command, only spitting the log out)
filter_list
: list of filter names to use to reconstruct images when building up cubes. This should be part of the filter_list fits table provided (seecalib_tables
config file).
filter_for_alignment
: specific filter name used for alignment between exposures.
Other options can be useful:
musemode
: this is by defaultWFM_NOAO_N
which is the most often used MUSE mode. This will filter out exposures not compatible with the given mode.
reset_log
: will reset the log file. By default it is False, hence new runs will be appended.
overwrite_astropy_table
: by default this is False. If True, new runs will rewrite the Astropy output tables.
time_astrometry`
: by default it is False, meaning the pipeline will try to detect a GEOMETRY and ASTROMETRY Files delivered with the Rawfiles by ESO. If set to True, it will use the time dependent astro/geo files provided by the GTO Team but you would need to make these available on your system.Hence I would recommend to keep the default (False).
Under the hood of run_recipes¶
run_recipes()
launches a default set of functions listed below:
# generate the master bias using the muse_bias esorex recipe
mypipe.run_bias()
# generate the master flat using the muse_flat esorex recipe
mypipe.run_flat()
# generate the wavelength calibration using the muse_wavecal esorex recipe
mypipe.run_wave()
# generate the lsf using the muse_lsf esorex recipe
mypipe.run_lsf()
# generate the illumination correction using the muse_lsf esorex recipe
mypipe.run_twilight(illum=True)
# process individual exposures to remove the instrumental signature usign the muse_scibasic
# esorex recipes. It runs on both the object, standard star and sky exposures
mypipe.run_scibasic_all(illum=True)
# generates the response function using the standard star observations and the muse_standard
# esorex recipe
mypipe.run_standard()
# uses the sky exposures to generate a sky spectrum
mypipe.run_sky(fraction=0.8)
# runs the esosex muse_scipost recipe individually on each object exposures generating
# a datacubes and image in the requested filter for each exposure.
# These images are then used for aligment.
mypipe.run_prep_align()
# runs the muse_exp_align recipe to generate an OFFSET_TABLE files containing the astrometric
# shifts between individual exposures. Pymusepipe provides more refined options for this
mypipe.run_align_bydataset()
# ??
mypipe.run_align_bygroup()
# generates the final aligned datacubes for individual exposures using muse_scipost
mypipe.run_scipost_perexpo()
# generates the sky datacube
mypipe.run_scipost_sky()
# merge exposures in the final datacube
mypipe.combine_dataset()
Individual pipeline stages can be (re)run by calling any of the individual functions above. The order is important, as in any data reduction process
Attention
This pipeline flow closely mirrors the standard data reduction for MUSE data implemented by the e.g. EsoReflex workflow. Pymusepipe offers alternative recipes to perform alignment (Alignment) and mosaicking (Targets and Mosaicking). For best results, therefore, we do not recommend running the above workflow. Examples workflows are presented in PHANGS pipeline example.
Structure of the output¶
Folders¶
The structure of the output is driven by a set of folder names described in
pymusepipe.init_musepipe()
in a few dictionaries (dic_input_folders()
,
dic_folders()
, dic_folders_target()
). You can in principle change the names
of the folders themselves, although it is not advisable.
The pipeline will create the folder structure automatically, checking whether the folders exist or not.
Log files¶
Two basic log files are produced: one is the Esorex output which will be stored in the “Esorex_log” folder. The other one will be in the “Log” folder with the name provided at start: that one is like a shell script which can be used to rerun things directly via the command line. In the “Log” folder, there will also be, for each log file, a file “.out” and one with “.err” extensions, respectively including all the stdout and stderr messages. This may be useful to trace details in the data reduction and problems.
Astropy Tables¶
Each recipe will trigger the creation of a astropy Table. These are stored under “Astro_Tables”. You can use these to monitor which files have been processed or used.
Sof files¶
Sof files are saved under the “Sof” directory for each esorex recipes used in the pipeline. These are useful to see exactly which files are processed by each esorex recipe.
Python structure¶
Most of the information you may need is actually stored in the python
pymusepipe.musepipe.MusePipe
class structure. More details to come.

This paper comes out from a puzzlement with REC’s view on phenomenality as presented in 2013.
“[RECers] take phenomenality to be nothing but forms of activities —perhaps only neural— that are associated with environment-involving interactions.” (Hutto and Myin 2013, p 169).
How should we take the fact that RECers accept that a feature of mind like phenomenality is nothing but some internal neural activity?
Aren’t RECers strongly committed to an understanding of basic minds that is always and everywhere essentially related to the environment?
Isn’t phenomenality understood as a matter of neural activity an internalist claim?
I think REC's view of phenomenality is less radical than it can be. RECers eschew representations but still make claims about phenomenality as if it were a form of internal aspect of mind (merely) widely determined.
phenomenal character of experience
in a representational view of experience: qualitative, non-representational aspects of experience
''qualia''
...what is it that philosophers have called qualitative states?: As Louis Armstrong said when asked what jazz is, “If you got to ask, you ain’t never going to get to know. (Block)
I think that there are certain features of the bodily sensations especially, but also of certain perceptual experiences, which no amount of purely physical information includes. Tell me everything physical there is to tell about what is going on in a living brain, the kind of states, their functional role, their relation to what goes on at other times and in other brains, and so on and so forth, and be I as clever as can be in fitting it all together, you won't have told me about the hurtfulness of pains, the itchiness of itches, pangs of jealousy, or about the characteristic experience of tasting a lemon, smelling a rose, hearing a loud noise or seeing the sky. (Jackson)
an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism– something it is like for the organism. (Nagel)
Phenomenality: sensory consciousness!
One’s conscious sensory experiences have a sensuous, cualitative character which is somehow manifest to one as a self-conscious subject when one has them and the nature of which is a legitimate object of enquiry. (Paraphrasing Soteriou 2016)
I think REC can go wide all the way, in their own distinct manner. That means, Embodied and Enactive but non-representational phenomenality.
To do this I want to talk of the challenge presented by Tyler Burge to another anti-representational view of perception: the challenge from the proximality principle to the so-called relational view of perception (Campbell), sometimes also called naïve realism (Martin) or the object view (Brewer) –views that on occasions are (without nuance) bunched under the label "disjunctivism".
mind-independent objects are present to the mind when one perceives, but ... when one has such experience, its object must actually exist and genuinely be present to the mind. Call this, naïve realism. (Martin 2004, pp, 392-393)
perceptual experience is a matter of a person’s conscious acquaintance with various mind-independent physical objects from a given spatiotemporal point of view, in a particular sense modality, and in certain specific circumstances of perception (such as lighting conditions in the case of vision). (Brewer 2011, p 96)
On a Relational View, the qualitative character of the experience is constituted by the qualitative character of the scene perceived. [...] You characterize the experience they are having by saying which view they are enjoying. On the Relational picture, this is the same thing as describing the phenomenal character of their experiences. (Campbell 114-116)
Though REC and relationalism are two fundamentally distinct approaches to the question about the nature of perceptual experience, there is space for fruitful conversation between them. The space, I believe, can be found in their answers to arguments raised by representationalists against them -in particular, by Burge.
Veridicality, fulfillment of representational function, is the central explanandum of visual psychology. Illusions are explained as lapses from normal representational operation, or as the product of special environmental conditions.(Burge 2010: 311).
[perceptual sciences are full of] explanations that give perceptual and other representational states a causal role in engendering animal action, and in causing further psychological processes. Such explanations evince the existence of perceptual states” (Burge 2010, p. 310).
Put simply, our objection is that there is no empirically known truth that establishes a robust connection between the explanatory successes of the perceptual sciences and the existence of perceptual states with representational content. If we are right about this, the existence of perceptual representations is not, pace Burge, secured by the mere existence of successful perceptual sciences. (Hutto and Myin 2013, p. 117)
live questions about the extent to which the perceptual sciences in fact assume representational notions. (Hutto and Myin 2013, 122)
But they talk about phenomenality as if they were!
Holding constant the antecedent psychological set of the perceiver, a given type of proximal stimulation (over the whole body), together with associated internal afferent and efferent input into the perceptual system, will produce a given type of perceptual state, assuming that there is no malfunctioning in the system and no interference with the system. On any given occasion, given the total antecedent psychological state of the individual and system, the total proximal input together with internal input into the system suffices to produce a given type of perceptual state, assuming no malfunction or interference. Call this principle the Proximality Principle.(Burge 2005)

Call this principle the Proximality Principle.(Burge 2005)
sameness of overall input
together with sameness of processing yields
sameness of perceptual experience
(everything else being equal).
In so far the same overall input is achieved and it gets processed in the same way to yield the same perceptual experience, it does not matter what kind of environment one finds oneself. Once input and processing are fixed, the perceptual experience is fixed as well.
We have then that the phenomenal aspects of experience of the same kind that are enjoyed in on-line perception seem possible even when subjects are deprived of opportunities to interact with their environments.
Hutto and Myin seem to give themselves some wiggle room with the the word 'similar', partly because the Argument from Shared phenomenality is not strong enough to allow for identity instead of similarity. The proximality principle does seem to allow a stronger wording in terms of identity, though.
“However, even if the Argument from Shared Phenomenality has bite—even if the supervenience base of phenomenality is always brain-bound—it does not follow that the laws of phenomenology are, always and everywhere, narrow. What counts as a law—and certainly what counts as a law that yields adequate predictions and explanations—depends on the practical interests and purposes in play. Thus, focusing entirely on internal, brain-bound activity may be appropriate if one is interested only in producing or replicating phenomenality by limited or minimal means.” (163)
"The laws of phenomenality are wide"
Why is it that we have to appeal to an enactive embodied engagement with the environment in order to explain phenomenality?
Why is it that if we want to understand the place of phenomenality in nature—how it originally came to be, and why it has the features it has we are likewise forced to widen our scope?
Simple answer: because phenomenality consists in an enactive embodied engagement with the environment
RECers should not accept that there are phenomenal aspects common to the on-line and the off-line cases.
On a Relational View, the qualitative character of the experience is constituted by the qualitative character of the scene perceived. [...] You characterize the experience they are having by saying which view they are enjoying. On the Relational picture, this is the same thing as describing the phenomenal character of their experiences. (Campbell 114-116)
According to REC, the qualitative character of the experience is constituted by enactive embodied engagement with the perceived environment. [...] You characterize the experience they are having by describing the enactive embodied engagement with the perceived environment. On the REC picture, this is the same thing as describing the phenomenal character of their experiences. (Anonymous RECer 2021)
"When we hallucinate, the very same skills are triggered or called into play; the idea is that it is this fact that explains why we think of ourselves as in touch with things when we are not in touch with them" (Nöe 2005, p. 37 )
RECers should go wide all the way or abandon their explanation of phenomenality in terms of wide laws
Either go properly wide or accept narrowmindedness
Don't kill the tiger of representationalism and get scared by the phenomenal skin


Here you must decide, whether a syllogism, randomly generated by the system,is valid or invalid. The syllogism will appear when you click the leftmost button named 'New syllogism'.
Then you must decide whether the syllogism is valid or invalid, and indicate your decision by using the buttons named 'Valid' and 'Invalid'.
The particular type of validity which must be used, is the Aristotelian one (and not the modern one that follows from use of Venn diagrams).
This means that all the concepts used in the syllogisms are assumed
to correspond to non-empty sets.

Module to include online markdown files in Jekyll site
This ruby module is a fork from another module that allowed one to include markdown files located in the _includes folder. My modification allows online markdown code to be included. I use it to include my GitHub-hosted README files in my code posts since there’s no point in saving them in two locations (as well as risk having them diverge over time). Place this script in the _plugins folder of the Jekyll site directory.

ManagedReference
Managed reference objects encapsulate stand-alone references to other managed objects.
class ManagedReference
extends
ManagedObject
Independent reference to a managed object, list, map, or other managed reference. An instance of this class behaves in the same way as a managed reference property of an instance of ManagedObject
.
Constructor
<T extends ManagedObject = ManagedObject>(target?: T): ManagedReference<T>
.propagateEvents()
[1]. (f?: (this: this, e:
ManagedEvent
) => void |
ManagedEvent
|
ManagedEvent
[]): this
[2]. (...types: (ManagedEvent | (new (...args: any[]) =>
ManagedEvent
))[]): this
[1] Propagate events from referenced objects by emitting the same events on the ManagedReference
instance itself.
If a function is specified, the function can be used to transform one event to one or more others, or stop propagation if the function returns undefined. The function is called with the event itself as its only argument.
[2] Propagate events from referenced objects by emitting the same events on the ManagedReference
instance itself.
If one or more event classes are specified, only events that extend given event types are propagated.
Note: Calling this method a second time replaces the current propagation rule/function.
.restrict()
<T extends ManagedObject>(classType:
ManagedObjectConstructor
<T>): ManagedReference<T>
Ensure that referenced objects are instances of given class (or a sub class), both the current value and any new references set. Given class must be a sub class of ManagedObject
.
.get()
(): T
Returns the referenced object, or undefined if none.
.clear()
(): this
Remove the current reference, if any.
.set()
(target?: T): this
Set the current reference to given object, or managed list, map, or another reference. Equivalent to setting the target
property on this instance.
.weakRef()
(): this
Stop newly referenced objects from becoming child objects even if this ManagedReference
instance itself is held through a child reference (by a parent object); this can be used to automatically dereference objects when the parent object is destroyed.
.toJSON()
(): { $ref: number; }
Returns the referenced object itself, or undefined (alias of get()
method).

Staffers caught hacking Senate computers
Washington Post | Submitted by: WDON
"The Senate sergeant-at-arms has opened an investigation into Republicans obtaining and publicizing internal memos from the computer and network resources of two Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Late Tuesday, Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah) confirmed that his inquiry had found that a member of his staff 'had improperly accessed some of the documents' and a second former staff member 'may also have been involved.' ... Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (Vt.), ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee along with Kennedy and Durbin, requested that [the sergeant-at-arms] hire security experts to determine who retrieved the documents. They also asked for an audit of logs to determine who may have been trying to access the files or directories from which the memos had been copied. Two days later, the senators complained to Hatch that he had not yet given consent for the committee hard drives to be turned over."

Union fights dismissal of worker gone postal
Globe and Mail | Submitted by: Alex
"Seven days after George Pavlovsky was fired from his job as a senior tree cutter with the City of Moncton, the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 51 filed a grievance to his employer challenging the dismissal... The 44-year-old arrived at the Moncton Public Works Operation Centre on April 10 extremely intoxicated and carrying a sawed-off shotgun and a handgun. He was looking for two senior managers. The two were not in their offices, but in meetings at the time. As he stormed through the sprawling operations centre, his two dozen co-workers ran for cover or fled the building... A co-worker disarmed the disgruntled employee and Mounties arrived shortly afterward and arrested him."

Naked bleeder winds up on Cal Ripken's doorstep
CNN | Submitted by: jimbo
"A naked man who was shot in the back showed up at the home of retired Baltimore Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken on Thanksgiving night and pleaded for help, police said. Ripken said he called 911, though police did not identify him by name... The wounded man, Brian Robins, 20, of Baltimore, was found on Ripken's porch around 9 p.m. Thursday. He was taken by helicopter to a hospital and was released early Friday, officials said. Robins told police that he was kidnapped Thursday by three men who held him captive for nine hours, forced him into the trunk of their car, then ordered him to strip and run, Vinson said. Robins said he was shot as he ran away."

Sadist convicted of torture
Waikato Times | Submitted by: Reid Fleming
"In April 2002, Major Wilson, 35, took an 18-year-old man in as a boarder to work on his Morrinsville farm but then subjected him to months of cruelty, which Judge Robert Spear described as close to torture... During one incident at the milking shed, apparently as punishment for taking too long to clean up, Wilson hosed the man down before repeatedly hitting him with a hammer and then jumping on his head with steel-capped gumboots. Wilson left him lying unconscious on jagged concrete... On December 18 he ordered the man to wear a dog collar and leash, pulling him around the house and punching him as he went."

Girl Scouter's underage sex party
Gainesville Sun | Submitted by: Reid Fleming
"Debra Favre, 39, who was a registrar with the Girl Scouts of Palm Glades Council, was arrested in May with her friend Amy Duane, 37, for hosting parties for boys in which they supplied alcohol, watched adult movies and had sex. Favre, of Greenacres, faces between eight and almost 16 years for one court of sexual misconduct with a minor and four counts of providing alcohol to minors... The charges were filed after sheriff's officials learned that Duane and Favre hosted several parties over a four-month period at Duane's home in which women provided rum, vodka and beer to the boys, ages 12 and older, under the condition that they abided by 'Amy's rule' - that they wouldn't get too drunk."

CIA hires temps to catch Bin Laden
Boston Globe | Submitted by: Reid Fleming
"William Carlson and Christopher Glenn Mueller were retired military commandos hired by the CIA as contractors to hunt Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters near Shkin, in eastern Afghanistan. They were killed in an ambush Oct. 25 while taking part in a larger military offensive in the area. It appears they were hired by the CIA during the rapid growth of the agency's covert paramilitary force after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. They were among an undisclosed number of former special operators hired to augment the CIA's own employees... Some analysts wonder whether the CIA contractors are subject to proper oversight from the CIA and Congress."

Glen Campbell blames the pills
BBC | Submitted by: unaesthetic
"Country singer Glen Campbell has blamed his recent drink-driving arrest on accidentally drinking alcohol while on prescribed medication for anxiety. He was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona, on Monday after allegedly crashing his car and then driving off... 'I'm taking Lexapro and you can't have alcohol with it, and I did. I forgot.' the United States star told the East Valley Tribune newspaper. He said he had been taking the medication for at least seven months to treat anxiety. When tested, his blood-alcohol level was two-and-a-half times above the legal limit for Arizona, according to court documents... In a recent interview, Mr Campbell said he gave up drugs and alcohol in the late 1970s after taking cocaine in Las Vegas and almost killing himself."

Gloria Trevi's manager extradited
Wire Services | Submitted by: Reid Fleming
"The former manager of Mexican pop singer Gloria Trevi was extradited to Mexico on Friday to face charges of rape, kidnapping and corruption of minors. Sergio Andrade, 48, was accompanied by Mexican police on a flight from Sao Paulo to Mexico City, Brazilian federal police said... Prosecutors say Trevi and Andrade sexually abused girls who joined their entourage in hopes of become pop stars. One of the girls abandoned a baby in Spain in 1998, claiming Andrade was the father. Trevi and Andrade then disappeared... After a long legal battle, Trevi was extradited to Mexico in December. She is being held in a maximum security prison in Chihuahua, 760 miles northwest of Mexico City."

Chinese rappers praising Mao
BBC | Submitted by: unaesthetic
"China's authorities want to inject new life into a song collection by former leader Mao Zedong, by releasing a brand new version sung by 20-year-olds... The state-run Beijing Times said the songs, which include a rap track, were being released in an effort to extend Mao's legacy to Chinese youth... Mao, who ruled China from 1949 until his death in 1976, is considered the founder of Chinese Communism and the modern Chinese state. Correspondents say he still has godlike status in some parts of China. However, he was also responsible for the Cultural Revolution, a 10-year campaign of violence and chaos begun in 1966 to renew the spirit of Communism."

Females the 'dominant sex'
National Geographic | Submitted by: Reid Fleming
"Females are the dominant sex in most primate communities. Far from being passive bystanders in a world governed by machismo, a new study suggests females may determine social evolution in primates... Scientists believe communal living is particularly beneficial to females because a ready food supply is crucial for successful reproduction. A primate 'sisterhood' would be better equipped to locate and defend food resources than individual animals."

"[California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley] announced Friday that any e-voting machines purchased after July 1, 2005, must produce a voter-verifiable receipt. Machines purchased before then must be retrofitted with printers to produce a receipt by July 1, 2006... Tom Hiltachk, an election law expert with the law firm Bell, McAndrews, Hiltachk & Davidian, said the secretary of state was within his authority to mandate a paper audit trail. He said the counties are objecting to Shelley's decision without giving the secretary an opportunity to show how the solution will be implemented."

Does that show up in the Emacs or VSCode interfaces? I'm using the emacs interface primarily.
Surprisingly, I get an error command expected
when I use the /-- ... -/
syntax in front of a record field name. So it seems like there is some parsing.
In emacs, it should show you the doc string in the minibuffer.
Surprisingly, I get an error command expected when I use the /-- ... -/ syntax in front of a record field name.
I think they are only allowed on declarations (theorem
, def
, constant
, etc) and not on their components.
Thanks! I see it now.
for other places in a definition you should just use normal comments (--
or /- -/
), not doc comments

THE BIG ONE (1997)
A Film Review by Ted Prigge
Copyright 1999 Ted Prigge
Writer/Director: Michael Moore
Starring: Michael Moore, Phil Knight, Rick Nelson, Garrison Keillor, Studs Terkel
No, I haven't seen "Roger and Me" (and let's just forget "Candian Bacon" doesn't exist, eh?) but I do know a few things about Michael Moore, as I did happen to watch a couple minutes of his short-lived summer-replacement TV show "TV Nation" back in the day (and managed to glance over "Downsize This" in a bookstore once). He's a liberal with a whole lot of money and a loyal film crew, both which he uses to shake up the "system" in an attempt to get the point across about the downtrodden workers, which let me assure you there are in abundance (I'm one of them, though not of the I'm-not-getting-benefits kind, but of the lazy kind, not that benefits don't bother me).    Oh, and he made a film called "Roger and Me," which, again, I haven't seen yet, but as I hear, it's about him going around with the camera in a northern town, trying to interview the CEO of a company that laid off millions of workers at the time.
It's been about a decade since that film hit, and a good thing and a bad thing have happened to Mr. Moore: a) he's not lost his sense of humor, but b) he's lost his focus...well, sorta. "The Big One" follows him on his book tour for "Downsize This," which he describes as the book he wrote just so people would still know he was alive (and thus the film), and the result is an episodic trip around the America, meeting book dates, giving interviews, holding auditorium-sized discussions, and, of course, meeting with either potential or actual unions. So every ten minutes, we get to see Moore and his crew talk with a union, and then do the noble thing of attempting to help them out, with means he tries to go right up and see the big cheese, at which point he's either giving a bunch of bullshit from the underlings or told by security to leave the premises (or at one point, lied that he'll get an interview with the president of a company).
And it's all great, priceless material because Moore is such a witty and down-to-earth guy, not merely a typical guilty-liberal, but a man who has the knowledge of how the system works, the funds to do what he can for them, and the showmanship to attract real attention. He's not afraid to humiliate people to get something proven (and many of the instances are totally worth the price of admission), even if nothing concrete actually happens until later. So basically, as I hear, nothing's changed...except for a little thing. Throughout the the film, there's a disturbing amount of self-gratification going on. More and more scenes of him in front of pleased crowds, a near-shameless scene where he gives hope and courage to a woman who lost her job the day she met him (and buying a 25 dollar hardcover book immeadiately after?), and a lot of reaction shots that show Moore listening like a great martyr. In fact, there's not much of a point of making this film. Other than showing that he's still hard at work, it also shows a side of Moore that takes pleasure in the way he helps people, and the entire film has creepy undertones of a big fat valentine directed at himself, albeit a subconcious one that I'm not sure he realized he was forming when he assembled the film together.
But it's so easy to merely brush that aside and ignore it so that you can just sit back and enjoy the way this film is made, which is more entertainment than social criticism.  One minute, he could be signing books at Media Play; the next, jamming with Cheap Trick member Rick Nelson in his home right near by. It almost has the charm of an improv sketch, and Moore has such a great sense of fun and adventurism that "The Big One" comes off more like a really entertaining ride, even more entertaining if you buy into his philosophy (which I do, for the most part). And he concludes it with the one thing he couldn't provide in "Roger and Me": an actual filmed interview with a CEO. In a priceless bit of movie-dom, Moore sits down for two long tete-a-tetes with Nike CEO Phil Knight, accusing him of everything he can, humiliating him, yet still coming off as friendly and polite to him, and ditto with Knight. The entire last section of the film is easily the best, and even if maybe part of the charm of "Roger and Me" was that you didn't actually get to see any kind of cherished interview transpire (I'm only guessing here), it actually doesn't matter since the entire point of the film is that of entertainment. In fact, "The Big One" may actually be one of the funnier, more entertaining films of the year. But what was the point of Moore even making the film? Beats me. I guess it has something to do with him not selling out.

MANHATTAN MURDER MYSTERY A film review by Jon Webb Copyright 1993 Jon Webb
This is a solid Woody Allen film, not unlike some of his earlier comedies (ANNIE HALL and PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM come to mind, though this is more realistic). Woody and Diane Keaton are a bored middle-aged couple, drifting towards divorce, when Keaton gets interested in the--to her--strange actions of a neighbor. She decides that a murder has occurred, and that she will solve it. Woody, of course, disbelieves everything and worries incessantly.
Angelica Huston and Alan Alda also play significant roles, and do it well. Given Allen's recent problems, it's apparent that his friends rallied to help him make this film, which must have been a relief from the trial and the accusations in the press.
You can really see Allen reaching to reconnect with his traditional audience her. He does his nervous variations on Chaplin-esque moves, like constantly rearranging his cards while playing poker. The scene in the elevator is a classic.
The movie includes the jerky hand-held camera style he explored in HUSBANDS AND WIVES but it is not so annoying here. There's only one scene where the effect is really noticeable, and even there it is not so bad as to make one dizzy, as in his last film.

I was on the
https://twitter.com/#!/BetterBattlelog
twitter and found this interesting tweet
https://twitter.com/#!/NM_Jeff/status/198513990928830465
I downloaded it and it's a really nice add-on, it has a some really helpful tweaks and features. If it's used together with BBLog, well, let's just say that the result is awesome.
As much as I like the add-on I'm going to keep it deactivated, that is unless it gets fully compatible with BBLog. If Roland and the creator of BattlelogPlus would work together and make both add-ons fully compatible with each other it would be really nice.
NOTE: I have tried it a little bit and the only thing that I see is interfering with BBLog is the awards page. Also, I don't know how this works with saving server filters seeing as it changes some options.


Story
Since the bioindustry we significantly began to eat more meat. By the possibility to process more meat for lower prices, meat products became more accesable for larger masses. Today the meat industry totals a 844 billion dollars worth and feeds billions of people but at what costs? Meat production not only wheys extremely heavy on the milions of animals slaughtered every single day. it also puts an extreme stress on natural resources, negatively influences human health, and contributes severly to climate change.
First of all It causes extreme reduction and depletion on water, land food and energy, simply because all these animals we eat need natural resources to "become our food". Also an increased demand for meat has strained the supply chain. To put enough meat on the shelves at inexpensive prices, farmers have put into place often-unsustainable practices. This can mean manipulating the environments in which animals are raised, which can lead to contamination of the animal feed, the soil, the land, and ultimately the meat on your plate. It’s no wonder that every couple of years you hear about some bacteria, such as salmonella or E. coli, that has found its way into the food supply.
Furthermore most animals raised by the meat industry eat very unatural foods. This not only leaves animals unsatisfied on many levels but also affects their biological makeup. Many are starved of the nutrients they require to be healthy. This affects their well-being and the well-being of meat consumers. But not only the health of the animal is at risk also that of meatlovers. An excess of meat consumption, In addition to causing heart disease, also leads to other health-degrading conditions, such as osteoporosis and even cancer. The excess protein — despite what people may think — isn’t good for the body. Also, the accumulation of meat can lead to more fatty deposits in the body, which become plaque deposits, and they can start to calcify and affect many of our tissues and bones, causing long-term diseases like heart disease.
Finally, our great demand for meat has great impact on climate change. Most peole wont relate these two so here's is bit of a picture. To keep up with the demand for meat, cows are fed an incredible amount of food, which produces waste. This waste gives off methane gases, which contribute to ozone depletion by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Manufacturing one calorie from animal protein requires 11 times as much fossil fuel input as producing a calorie from plant protein. Why is this bad? Burning fossil fuels (such as oil and gasoline) releases carbon dioxide, the primary gas responsible for climate change.
Despite these facts that has been known for years meat consumption has grown for a long time. To show our consumption behavior I created this site, and hopefully show the individual impact that each and everone of has by choosing for our tastebuds and not welfare of our future.
