--- layout: page title: CodeWeek4All ---
Coding is for all, not just for programmers. It’s a matter of creativity, of computational thinking skills, of self empowerment. Creative coding has to be introduced in the classroom to bridge diversity gaps and make the difference.
Europe Code Week is now launching the “CodeWeek4all challenge” to contribute to increase the penetration of coding in schools.
Schools are invited to register online for free to get a unique code to be added to the description of all Code Week events (http://events.codeweek.eu/) organized in the school preferably between October 7th and October 22nd 2017.
The challenge consists in getting involved as many students/pupils as possible during Europe Code Week 2017. The unique code associated with the school will allow Code Week organizers to sum up all the participants to the events organized in the same school and to compare the sum with the total number of students declared in the application form.
Schools achieving a participation rate greater or equal than 50% will be awarded a personalized “Certificate of Excellence in Coding Literacy” and will be announced in the Europe Code Week website.
Apply now, share the unique code with all the teachers in your school, and ask them to provide a coding experience in their classrooms during codeweek. Each coding opportunity is worth being added to the map of CodeWeek events with the code of the school.
If you need help, contact your local CodeWeek ambassador.
Application form available at:https://goo.gl/forms/8djgRsB0mBSwXZrP2


Dawn woke Rand with a start, the sullen sun pricking his eyelids as it peeked reluctantly over the treetops of the Blight. Even so early, heat covered the spoiled lands in a heavy blanket. He lay on his back with his head pillowed on his blanketroll, staring at the sky. It was still blue, the sky. Even here, that, at least, was untouched.
He was surprised to realize that he had slept. For a minute the dim memory of a conversation overheard seemed like part of some dream. Then he saw Nynaeve’s red-rimmed eyes; she had not slept, obviously. Lan’s face was harder than ever, as if he had resumed a mask and did not intend to let it slip again.
Egwene went over and crouched beside the Wisdom, her face concerned. He could not make out what they said. Egwene spoke, and Nynaeve shook her head. Egwene said something else, and the Wisdom waved her away dismissively.  The Wisdom ended it with a laugh, hugging Egwene and, by her expression, making soothing talk. When Egwene stood, though, she glared at the Warder. Lan did not seem to notice; he did not look in Nynaeve’s direction at all.
Shaking his head, Rand gathered his things, and gave his hands and face and teeth a hasty wash with the little water Lan allowed for such things. He wondered if women had a way of reading men’s minds. It was an unsettling thought. All women are Aes Sedai.
It was more than a little disconcerting, having the campsite disappear before he reached the horses, but by the time his saddle girth was tight everything on the hill winked back into view. Everyone was hurrying.
The seven towers stood plain in the morning light, distant broken stumps, like huge, rough hills that merely hinted at grandeur gone. The hundred lakes were a smooth, unruffled blue. Nothing broke the surface this morning. When he looked at the lakes and the ruined towers, he could almost ignore the sickly things growing around the hill. Lan did not seem to be avoiding looking at the towers, any more than he seemed to be avoiding Nynaeve, but somehow he never did as he concentrated on getting them ready to go.
After the wicker panniers were fastened on the packhorse, after every scrap and smudge and track were gone and everyone else was mounted, the Aes Sedai stood in the middle of the hilltop with her eyes closed, not even seeming to breathe. Nothing happened that Rand could see, except that Nynaeve and Egwene shivered despite the heat and rubbed their arms briskly. Egwene’s hands suddenly froze on her arms, and she opened her mouth, staring at the Wisdom. Before she could speak, Nynaeve also ceased her rubbing and gave her a sharp look. The two women looked at one another, then Egwene nodded and grinned, and after a moment Nynaeve did, too, though her smile was only halfhearted.
Rand scrubbed his fingers through his hair, already more damp with sweat than with the water he had splashed in his face. He was sure there was something in the silent exchange that he should understand, but that feather-light brush across his mind vanished before he could grasp it.
“What are we waiting for?” Mat demanded, the low band of his scarf across his forehead. He had his bow across the pommel of his saddle with an arrow nocked, and his quiver pulled around on his belt for an easy reach.
Moiraine opened her eyes and started down the hill. “For me to remove the last vestige of what I did here last night. The residues would have dissipated on their own in a day, but I will not take any risk I can avoid now. We are too close, and the Shadow is too strong here. Lan?”
The Warder only waited for her to settle in Aldieb’s saddle before he led them north, toward the Mountains of Dhoom, looming in the near distance. Even under the sunrise the peaks rose black and lifeless, like jagged teeth. In a wall they stretched, east and west as far as the eye could see.
“Will we reach the Eye today, Moiraine Sedai?” Egwene asked.
The Aes Sedai gave Loial a sidelong look. “I hope that we will. When I found it before, it was just the other side of the mountains, at the foot of the high passes.”
“He says it moves,” Mat said, nodding at Loial. “What if it isn’t where you expect?”
“Then we will continue to hunt until we do find it. The Green Man senses need, and there can be no need greater than ours. Our need is the hope of the world.”
As the mountains drew closer, so did the true Blight. Where a leaf had been spotted black and mottled yellow before, now foliage fell wetly while he watched, breaking apart from the weight of its own corruption. The trees themselves were tortured, crippled things, twisted branches clawing at the sky as if begging mercy from some power that refused to hear. Ooze slid like pus from bark cracked and split. As if nothing truly solid was left to them, the trees seemed to tremble from the passage of the horses over the ground.
“Look as if they want to grab us,” Mat said nervously. Nynaeve gave him an exasperated, scornful look, and he added fiercely, “Well, they do look it.”
“And some of them do want it,” the Aes Sedai said. Her eyes over her shoulder were harder than Lan’s for an instant. “But they want no part of what I am, and my presence protects you.”
Mat laughed uneasily, as if he thought it a joke on her part.
Rand was not so sure. This was the Blight, after all. But trees don’t move. Why would a tree grab a man, even if it could? We’re imagining things, and she’s just trying to keep us alert.
Abruptly he stared off to his left, into the forest. That tree, not twenty paces away, had trembled, and it was none of his imagination. He could not say what kind it was, or had been, so gnarled and tormented was its shape. As he watched, the tree suddenly whipped back and forth again, then bent down, flailing at the ground. Something screamed, shrill and piercing. The tree sprang back straight; its limbs entwined around a dark mass that writhed and spat and screamed.
He swallowed hard and tried to edge Red away, but trees stood on every side, and trembled. The bay rolled his eyes, whites showing all the way around. Rand found himself in a solid knot of horseflesh as everyone else tried to do the same as he.
“Keep moving,” Lan commanded, drawing his sword. The Warder wore steel-backed gauntlets now, and his gray-green scale tunic. “Stay with Moiraine Sedai.” He pulled Mandarb around, not toward the tree and its prey, but in the other direction. With his color-shifting cloak, he was swallowed by the Blight before the black stallion was out of sight.
“Close,” Moiraine urged. She did not slow her white mare, but she motioned the others to huddle nearer to her. “Stay as close as you can.”
A roar sprang up from the direction the Warder had gone. It beat at the air, and the trees quivered from it, and when it faded away, it seemed to echo still. Again the roar came, filled with rage and death.
“Lan,” Nynaeve said. “He—”
The awful sound cut her off, but there was a new note in it. Fear. Abruptly it was gone.
“Lan can look after himself,” Moiraine said. “Ride, Wisdom.”
From out of the trees the Warder appeared, holding his sword well clear of himself and his mount. Black blood stained the blade, and steam rose from it. Carefully, Lan wiped the blade clean with a cloth he took from his saddlebags, examining the steel to make sure he had gotten every spot. When he dropped the cloth, it fell apart before it reached the ground, even the fragments dissolving.
Silently a massive body leaped out of the trees at them. The Warder spun Mandarb, but even as the warhorse reared, ready to strike with steelshod hooves, Mat’s arrow flashed, piercing the one eye in a head that seemed mostly mouth and teeth. Kicking and screaming, the thing fell, one bound short of them. Rand stared as they hurried past. Stiff hair like long bristles covered it, and it had too many legs, joining a body as big as a bear at odd angles. Some of them at least, those coming out of its back, had to be useless for walking, but the finger-long claws at their ends tore the earth in its death agony.
“Good shooting, sheepherder.” Lan’s eyes had already forgotten what was dying behind them, and were searching the forest.
Moiraine shook her head. “It should not have been willing to come so close to one who touches the True Source.”
“Agelmar said the Blight stirs,” Lan said. “Perhaps the Blight also knows a Web is forming in the Pattern.”
“Hurry.” Moiraine dug her heels into Aldieb’s flanks. “We must get over the high passes quickly.”
But even as she spoke the Blight rose against them. Trees whipped in, reaching for them, not caring if Moiraine touched the True Source or not.
Rand’s sword was in his hand; he did not remember unsheathing it. He struck out again and again, the heron-mark blade slicing through corrupted limbs. Hungry branches jerked back severed, writhing stumps—he almost thought he heard them scream—but always more came, wriggling like snakes, attempting to snare his arms, his waist, his neck. Teeth bared in a rictus snarl, he sought the void, and found it in the stony, stubborn soil of the Two Rivers. “Manetheren!” He screamed back at the trees till his throat ached. The heron-mark steel flashed in the strengthless sunlight. “Manetheren! Manetheren!”
Standing in his stirrups, Mat sent arrow after arrow flashing into the forest, striking at deformed shapes that snarled and gnashed uncounted teeth on the shafts that killed them, bit at the clawed forms fighting to get over them, to reach the mounted figures. Mat, too, was lost to the present. “Carai an Caldazar!” he shouted as he drew fletchings to cheek and loosed. “Carai an Ellisande! Al Ellisande! Mordero daghain pas duente cuebiyar! Al Ellisande!”
Perrin also stood in his stirrups, silent and grim. He had taken the lead, and his axe hewed a path through forest and foul flesh alike, whichever came before him. Flailing trees and howling things shied from the stocky axeman, shying as much from the fierce golden eyes as from the whistling axe. He forced his horse forward, step by determined step.
Fireballs streaked from Moiraine’s hands, and where they struck, a writhing tree became a torch, a toothed shape shrieked and beat with human hands, rent its own flaming flesh with fierce claws until it died.
Again and again the Warder took Mandarb into the trees, his blade and gauntlets dripping with blood that bubbled and steamed. When he came back now, more often than not there were gashes in his armor, bleeding gashes in his flesh, and his warhorse stumbled and bled, too. Each time the Aes Sedai paused to lay her hands on the wounds, and when she took them away, only the blood was left on unmarked flesh.
“I light signal fires for the Halfmen,” she said bitterly. “Press on. Press on!” They made their way one slow pace at a time.
If the trees had not struck into the mass of attacking flesh as much as at the humans, if the creatures, no two alike, had not fought the trees and one another as much as to reach them, Rand was sure they would have been overwhelmed. He was not certain it would not happen still. Then a fluting cry arose behind them. Distant and thin, it cut through the snarling from the denizens of the Blight around them.
In an instant the snarling ceased, as if it had been sliced off with a knife. The attacking shapes froze; the trees went still. As suddenly as the things with legs had appeared, they melted away, vanishing into the twisted forest.
The reedy shrill came again, like a cracked shepherd’s pipes, and was answered in kind by a chorus. Half a dozen, singing among themselves, far behind.
“Worms,” Lan said grimly, bringing a moan from Loial. “They’ve given us a respite, if we have time to use it.” His eyes were measuring the distance yet to the mountains. “Few things in the Blight will face a Worm, can it be avoided.” He dug his heels into Mandarb’s flanks. “Ride!” The whole party plunged after him, through a Blight that suddenly seemed truly dead, except for the piping behind.
“They were scared off by worms?” Mat said incredulously. He was bouncing in his saddle, trying to sling his bow across his back.
“A Worm”—there was a sharp difference in the way the Warder said it from the way Mat had—“can kill a Fade, if the Fade hasn’t the Dark One’s own luck with it. We have an entire pack on our trail. Ride! Ride!” The dark peaks were closer now. An hour, Rand estimated, at the pace the Warder was setting.
“Won’t the Worms follow us into the mountains?” Egwene asked breathlessly, and Lan gave a sharp laugh.
“They won’t. Worms are afraid of what lives in the high passes.” Loial moaned again.
Rand wished the Ogier would stop doing that. He was well aware that Loial knew more about the Blight than any of them except Lan, even if it was from reading books in the safety of a stedding. But why does he have to keep reminding me that there’s worse yet than we’ve seen?
The Blight flowed past, weeds and grasses splashing rotten under galloping hooves. Trees of the kinds that had earlier attacked did not so much as twitch even when they rode directly under the twisted branches. The Mountains of Dhoom filled the sky ahead, black and bleak, and almost near enough to touch, it seemed. The piping came both sharp and clear, and there were squishing sounds behind them, louder than the things crushed under hooves. Too loud, as if half-decayed trees were being crushed by huge bodies slithering over them. Too near. Rand looked over his shoulder. Back there treetops whipped and went down like grass. The land began sloping upward, toward the mountains, tilting enough so that he knew they were climbing.
“We are not going to make it,” Lan announced. He did not slow Mandarb’s gallop, but his sword was suddenly in his hand again. “Watch yourself in the high passes, Moiraine, and you’ll get through.”
“No, Lan!” Nynaeve called.
“Be quiet, girl! Lan, even you cannot stop a Wormpack. I will not have it. I will need you for the Eye.”
“Arrows,” Mat called breathlessly.
“The Worms wouldn’t even feel them,” the Warder shouted. “They must be cut to pieces. Don’t feel much but hunger. Sometimes fear.”
Clinging to his saddle with a deathgrip, Rand shrugged, trying to loosen the tightness in his shoulders. His whole chest felt tight, until he could hardly breathe, and his skin stung in hot pinpricks. The Blight had turned to foothills. He could see the route they must climb once they reached the mountains, the twisting path and the high pass beyond, like an axe blow cleaving into the black stone. Light, what’s up ahead that can scare what’s behind? Light help me, I’ve never been so afraid. I don’t want to go any further. No further! Seeking the flame and the void, he railed at himself. Fool!   Are you going to leave Egwene to face it alone? The void eluded him, forming, then shivering into a thousand points of light, re-forming and shattering again, each point burning into his bones until he quivered with the pain and thought he must burst open. Light help me, I can’t go on. Light help me!
He was gathering the bay’s reins to turn back, to face the Worms or anything rather than what lay ahead, when the nature of the land changed. Between one slope of a hill and the next, between crest and peak, the Blight was gone.
Green leaves covered peacefully spreading branches. Wildflowers made a carpet of bright patches in grasses stirred by a sweet spring breeze. Butterflies fluttered from blossom to blossom, with buzzing bees, and birds trilled their songs.
Gaping, he galloped on, until he suddenly realized that Moiraine and Lan and Loial had stopped, the others, too. Slowly he drew rein, his face frozen in astonishment. Egwene’s eyes were about to come out of her head, and Nynaeve’s jaw had dropped.
“We have reached safety,” Moiraine said. “This is the Green Man’s place, and the Eye of the World is here. Nothing of the Blight can enter here.”
“I thought it was on the other side of the mountains,” Rand mumbled. He could still see the peaks filling the northern horizon, and the high passes. “You said it was always beyond the passes.”
“This place,” said a deep voice from the trees, “is always where it is. All that changes is where those who need it are.”
A figure stepped out of the foliage, a man-shape as much bigger than Loial as the Ogier was bigger than Rand. A man-shape of woven vines and leaves, green and growing. His hair was grass, flowing to his shoulders; his eyes, huge hazelnuts; his fingernails, acorns. Green leaves made his tunic and trousers; seamless bark, his boots. Butterflies swirled around him, lighting on his fingers, his shoulders, his face. Only one thing spoiled the verdant perfection. A deep fissure ran up his cheek and temple across the top of his head, and in that the vines were brown and withered.
“The Green Man,” Egwene whispered, and the scarred face smiled. For a moment it seemed as if the birds sang louder.
“Of course I am. Who else would be here?” The hazelnut eyes regarded Loial. “It is good to see you, little brother. In the past, many of you came to visit me, but few of recent days.”
Loial scrambled down from his big horse and bowed formally. “You honor me, Treebrother. Tsingu ma choshih, T’ingshen.”
Smiling, the Green Man put an arm around the Ogier’s shoulders. Alongside Loial, he looked like a man beside a boy. “There is no honoring, little brother. We will sing Treesongs together, and remember the Great Trees, and the stedding, and hold the Longing at bay.” He studied the others, just now getting down from their horses, and his eyes lit on Perrin. “A Wolfbrother! Do the old times truly walk again then?”
Rand stared at Perrin. For his part, Perrin turned his horse so it was between him and the Green Man, and bent to check the girth. Rand was sure he just wanted to avoid the Green Man’s searching gaze. Suddenly the Green Man spoke to Rand.
“Strange clothes you wear, Child of the Dragon. Has the Wheel turned so far? Do the People of the Dragon return to the First Covenant? But you wear a sword. That is neither now nor then.”
Rand had to work moisture in his mouth before he could speak. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. What do you mean?”
The Green Man touched the brown scar across his head. For a moment he seemed confused. “I . . . cannot say. My memories are torn and often fleeting, and much of what remains is like leaves visited by caterpillars. Yet, I am sure . . . No, it is gone. But you are welcome here. You, Moiraine Sedai, are more than a surprise. When this place was made, it was made so that none could find it twice. How have you come here?”
“Need,” Moiraine replied. “My need, the world’s need. Most of all is the world’s need. We have come to see the Eye of the World.”
The Green Man sighed, the wind sighing through thick-leafed branches. “Then it has come again. That memory remains whole. The Dark One stirs. I have feared it. Every turning of years, the Blight strives harder to come inside, and this turn the struggle to keep it out has been greater than ever since the beginning. Come, I will take you.”

NASCAR champ Jimmie Johnson will take his last lap in 2020
Video released on 7-time champ's Twitter account
by Lauren M. Johnson, CNN(CNN) - NASCAR is losing a 7-time champion and sport favorite after the 2020 season.
In a video released on his official Twitter account, Jimmie Johnson has announced that next season will be his last behind the wheel of his famed No. 48 car.
"I'm so thankful for 18 incredible years of racing in NASCAR. The sport has been good to me. It has allowed me to do something I truly love," Johnson said.
"I'm looking forward to next season and celebrating what will be my last year as a full-time NASCAR Cup driver. I know what this team is capable of, and I hope 2020 is one of the best yet."
Fellow racer Kyle Larson responded to the news on Twitter: "Nobody I enjoy battling with more on the race track than 7 time. The greatest driver of my generation. Look forward to 38 more races with you."
"Caught me right in the feels. Been a pleasure Champ. Looking forward to it one last time," driver Ryan Blaney said.
"NASCAR history will always hold Jimmie Johnson in the highest regard, for his hard-charging success on the racetrack and the way he conducted himself as a champion off the track," said Jim France, NASCAR Chairman and CEO.
"On behalf of my family and the entire NASCAR community, I thank Jimmie for his dedication to NASCAR and, along with his legions of fans, wish him all the best in his final season."
Johnson made his debut in 2001, and according to NASCAR, he has raced his entire career with Hendrick Motorsports.
Johnson won his first five championships back to back from 2006 to 2010, then added two more titles in 2013 and 2016. The 10 year stretch of success sent him speeding passed Cale Yarborough's record of winning three straight titles from 1976 to 1978, according to NASCAR.
The 44-year-old's seven NASCAR Cup Series titles ties him for the most of all-time with Dale Earnhardt and Richard Petty.
"I showed up chasing a dream and achieved more than I ever thought possible," Johnson said.

title: obray | Getting Started
description: How to get up and running with obray PHP.
id: getting-started
---
Getting Started
This version is not composer enabled, so the best way to get started is to download the source files from github
and use them as the root of your project. Here's a guide to getting started and making your first requests.
Get the Source
To get the source download it or clone it from github.com
Using Composer
Alternatively you can include obray as a dependency of your project using composer. Just include the obray package
from packagist.org obray/obray in your list of dependencies.
Configure Webserver
An obray application will generally run all the incoming requests from the webserver through obray.php. To accomplish
this it requires configuring the web server to server the obray.php files unless it's able to find the actual files
or resource specified in the URI. The following is a guide on how to configure Apache and NGINX to do this.
Clone Git Repository
Run this command with git to clone the obray repository
{% highlight git %}git clone https://github.com/nateobray/obray.git{% endhighlight %}
Using Composer
{% highlight git %}{
"require": {
"obray/obray": "v3.0.*"
}
}{% endhighlight %}
Configure Webserver
Apache
To configure Apache you can either do it on the site level or through and .htaccess file. The basic configuration should be something like the following:
{% highlight apache %}
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.+$ obray.php [QSA,L]
{% endhighlight %}
NGINX
To configure NGINX add the following to the config of your site:
{% highlight nginx %}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;
}
location @rewrite {
rewrite ^.+$ /obray.php;
}{% endhighlight %}

Using Remote Servants
Remote servants are represented in the local application by objects called proxies. Proxies behave as the implementation of the remote servants they represent, thus whenever a method is called on the proxy, a corresponding method is called in the remote object. The use of proxies is the standard way to perform remote invocations in OiL.
Creation
Proxies are implicitly created whenever a remotely invoked method returns an servant. In such cases, the invoker receives a proxy to the servant instead of the servant itself. Therefore, the application usually does not deal with creation of proxies when servants are provided by methods of other proxies.
However, sometimes it is necessary to explicitly create a proxy for a remote servant.
This usually is the case when the application starts up and the first proxy is created, because it cannot be obtained from a remote invocation.
The solution for this case is to create a proxy from textual references using method newproxy
(reference [, type])
of a broker.
See section about servant references for information about how textual references are created.
Textual references can be read from files (see auxiliary operation oil.readfrom
) or passed as command-line parameters to applications.
The code below is the complete implementation of a client application that access the LuDO server in section Registering Servants.
require "oil" oil.main(function() -- initialize a LuDO ORB local broker = oil.init{flavor="ludo;base"} -- create a proxy for remote servant local hello = broker:newproxy(oil.readfrom("hello.ref")) -- invoke remote method hello:sayto("World") end)
Some RMI protocols supported by OiL (e.g. CORBA) rely on typing information.
When such protocols are used, it may be necessary to inform the interface of the referenced servant as the parameter type
of operation newproxy
.
The possible values for this parameter depends on the RMI protocol being used.
Invocation
With respect to methods, the proxy behaves much like its referenced servant. That means that when a proxy method is called, the method with the same same is invoked on the servant. Additionally, every argument passed to the called method is available to the servant's method. Similarly, all the values returned by the servant's method are returned by the proxy method. It is worth stressing that the nature of some values used as parameter or returned values of remote invocations are suitable to subtle changes accordingly to the data transmission semantics defined by the underlying RMI protocol used by the broker.
An important feature is that proxy invocations are performed synchronously.
Therefore, the invoker's execution is suspended until the results of remote method's execution are ready.
However, it is possible to perform asynchronous invocations as well.
This is done by a specialized proxy available as field _deferred
of standard proxies.
The deferred proxy behaves like a standard proxy, but every invocation immediately returns a single object denominated future.
A future is an object that is used to retrieve the results of the asynchronous invocation that might only be available in a future moment.
A future is an simple object that provides the following interface, which is used to access the results of an asynchronous invocation
ready()
- Method that returns
true
if the results are already available orfalse
otherwise. results()
- Method that waits for the completion of the remote invocation if it is not completed already, and returns the results of the asynchronous invocation.
The first returned value is either
true
to indicated that no errors were raised orfalse
otherwise. The other returned values are either the values returned by the remote invocation, in case of an invocation that did not raise errors, or the error raised by the remote servant. This method should never raise errors. evaluate()
- Method that waits for the completion of the remote invocation if it is not completed already, and returns the values returned by the remote invocation if no errors were raised during the execution of the remote method. If the servant raised an error during the execution of the remote invocation, then this method raises the same error in the local context.
Exceptions
The way errors are catch in Lua is by the use of function pcall
(func, ...)
.
However, this function was designed to catch errors in functions thus it provides a signature that is cumbersome to use to catch errors in method calls.
As illustrated in the example below.
local ok, err = pcall(proxy.invoked_method, proxy)
One way to avoid this is to use method results()
of futures, because it never raises errors.
In this approach, the example above would become.
local ok, err = proxy._deferred:invoked_method():results()
One last alternative is to use the specialized proxy available in field _try
denominated protected proxy.
These proxy behaves like a standard proxy, but every invocation returns an additional value that indicates whether the remote method raised an error or not.
Additionally, if the remote method raises somfe error, this error is returned as the second returned value, just after the false
indicating that the error was raised.
Using this last approach, the example above would become.
local ok, err = proxy._try:invoked_method()
OiL also supports the definition exception handling functions for proxies. An exception handler is a function that receives the following parameters:
- proxy
- object proxy that performed the operation.
- exception
- exception/error raised.
- operation
- descriptor of the operation that raised the exception.
The definition of exception handlers avoids that exceptions be raised.
Therefore, if the handler do not want to consume the exception, it must re-raise it.
Otherwise, the values returned by the exception handler is used as the results of the operation that raised the exception originally.
The exception handler of a proxy is identified by field __exceptions
.
Additionally, a single exception handler can be defined to all proxies of a given broker by method setexcatch
(hander [, type])
.
When the broker provides support for typing (e.g. CORBA), the parameter type
is used to restrict the use of the handler to proxies of that type.

This article presents and discusses the implementation of a direct volume rendering system for the Web, which articulates a large portion of the rendering task in the client machine. By placing the rendering emphasis in the local client, our system takes advantage of its power, while at the same time eliminates processing from unreliable bottlenecks (e.g. network). The system developed articulates in efficient manner the capabilities of the recently released WebGL standard, which makes available the accelerated graphic pipeline (formerly unusable). The dependency on specially customized hardware is eliminated, and yet efficient rendering rates are achieved. The Web increasingly competes against desktop applications in many scenarios, but the graphical demands of some of the applications (e.g. interactive scientific visualization by volume rendering), have impeded their successful settlement in Web scenarios. Performance, scalability, accuracy, security are some of the many challenges that must be solved before visual Web applications popularize. In this publication we discuss both performance and scalability of the volume rendering by WebGL ray-casting in two different but challenging application domains: medical imaging and radar meteorology.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Most people who fall sick with COVID-19 will experience mild to moderate symptoms and recover without special treatment. You can be infected by breathing in the virus if you are within close proximity of someone who has COVID-19, or by touching a contaminated surface and then your eyes, nose or mouth.

wait a second =) so, if net hash rate is difficulty / blocktime....
Calculate Komodo (KMD) mining profitability in realtime based on hashrate, power consumption and electricity cost. KMD exchange rates, mining pools.
Difficulty:
205,047,128.563
Nethash:
54.68 Mh/s
so, 205047128 should be divided by block time which is for KMD 62 seconds, right?
and that should give us net hash rate
which is apparently 54MH/s at the moment
jl777c20-Mar-19 06:00 PM
when i said hashrate to diff is non-linear, did you understand me?
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 06:00 PM
but 205047128/62=3307211
3.3M comparing to 54M
@jl777c hm, well obviously not completely, sorry =))
let me scroll back a bit
jl777c20-Mar-19 06:01 PM
being nonlinear means you can calculate it based on simple division
please ignore diff, and just use Msols
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 06:02 PM
lol i definitely will do that =)) but i despite living in ignorance and just "use stuff as i'm told to" =) that's why i'm trying to explain this to myself
dukeleto20-Mar-19 06:21 PM
@БОМБ ОН diff/hash in CN coins is not quite the same as in BTC forks, is the first thing confusing you
@БОМБ ОН use your hashrate to calculate your % of network hashrate, then profit based on that. Difficulty is never involved
@БОМБ ОН another thing is that whattomine.com has KMD, but it doesn't take into account notaries getting 75% of block reward. So basically you can divide the whattomine rev/profit numbers by 4, since other miners get 25% of block reward
so for KMD, you need to calculate that normal miners get 25% of block reward, on average
Alright20-Mar-19 06:24 PM
you're sure about that duke?
dukeleto20-Mar-19 06:24 PM
maybe?
Alright20-Mar-19 06:24 PM
divide by 4 thing
dukeleto20-Mar-19 06:24 PM
depends where and when, order of operations matters
jl777c20-Mar-19 06:24 PM
the effective hashrate would be accurate and alread includes notary
Alright20-Mar-19 06:24 PM
Yea this is how I understood it
dukeleto20-Mar-19 06:25 PM
profit calcuations for KMD on whattomine are not correct, I don't believe
Alright20-Mar-19 06:25 PM
you can take that 56msol number and compare your hashrate against it
dukeleto20-Mar-19 06:25 PM
but maybe that changed recently? Or maybe it's correct, and I am wrong
whattomine doesn't take into account that only 25% of blocks can be mined at that diff
Alright20-Mar-19 06:25 PM
Not sure, never used that, but that's always how I calculated it. I never paid close attention to it
my miners default to KMD when I'm not using them for testing
dukeleto20-Mar-19 06:26 PM
that is what it says for 3 z9 mini's on whattomine.com right now
jl777c20-Mar-19 06:27 PM
47Msols is a lot more than the sum of mining pools
dukeleto20-Mar-19 06:27 PM
i was never sure if it took into account notary stuff
jl777c20-Mar-19 06:27 PM
almost like it is 4x the actual hashrate
dukeleto20-Mar-19 06:28 PM
so the official answer is I am not sure. But don't use difficulty to calculate profit, it's based on hashrate not difficulty
jl777c20-Mar-19 06:29 PM
pretty sure if you have 4.7Msols you would get 10% of the blocks and not 2.5%
dukeleto20-Mar-19 06:31 PM
but if you had 4.7*3 Msols you would not get 30% of blocks
because the max non-notaries can mine is 25% of blocks, I think. But I defer to James
jl777c20-Mar-19 06:36 PM
yes, if you start getting close to 25%, the effective hashrate will adjust
i meant that if you have 4.7Msols now when the nethash is 47
not about adding 4.7, as if you add 4.7, overall nethash would go up by 18.8 Msols
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 07:12 PM
@dukeleto tyvm kind sir!! what you said about my confusion is 100% right =)
and as jl777 suggested, i definitely will use net sols from now on... i am still trying to figure out how comes that diff is never involved because i was sure that net hash rate and diff are in direct relation
jl777c20-Mar-19 07:18 PM
they are related, but nonlinearly
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 07:18 PM
also, thanks for clarifying about whattomine.com calculator, i thought i am doing something wrong here again ^^ but yeah, taking notaries in account (multiply by 0.25) seems like a correct thing...
@jl777c could you maybe explain me (in the simplest way possible) how does komodod calculate net sols which are returned in getmininginfo response?
jl777c20-Mar-19 07:22 PM
it is a 2 hour average of the implied amount
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 07:22 PM
i'm sorry for being pain in the ass, if you don't like to go in circles with this, just tell me that i'm pain in the ass and i'll shut up =)
ah so it is averaging by some time, not using "expected block time"?
jl777c20-Mar-19 07:23 PM
it used the expected time vs actual time and averages over 2 hours
the source code has the exact logic, i dont remember the details
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 07:25 PM
ok, ok i see... does that mean it follows the similar equation like bitcoin? for example hash_rate = (blocks_found/expected_blocks*difficulty * 2**32 / 600)
(2**32 being something with nBits i think)
and ofc, different block time...
let me try to dig around source code myself!
thanks for being patient and helping out with understanding what i though will be a "simple" thing =)

@БОМБ ОН zcash is a fork of btc 0.11.2, so unless somebody changed it, that is what we inherited from bitcoin. BUT, difficulty and hashrate are not related in the same way in Zcash world, i remember hearing about this
there is some annoying factor to also multiply by, it's not just a normal ratio
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:08 PM
@dukeleto yeah, that's what i was reading too, that magical number of 8192
I did some looking, and it seems that if you want to use Difficulty you have to use the sol/block modifier of 8192. SO the calculation seems to be ( hashRate / ( difficulty * 8192 ) ) * 10 or hourly as ( hashRate / ( difficulty * 8192 ) ) * 10 * 3600 Currently that ...
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:08 PM
it's related to a bitshift, something has the wrong number of zeros in it
and the result, is that annoying conversion factor
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:08 PM
ah right, so that's even something different
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:09 PM
2^13=8192
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:09 PM
yeah
jl777c20-Mar-19 08:09 PM
zex 2.5 minutew
vs 1 minute blocktime
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:10 PM
i remember hearing zawy talk about how zcash difficulty number is broken, but not bitcoin, because of the way some hex value is defined in source code, that requires this conversion factor
jl777c20-Mar-19 08:10 PM
also the min diff is different with KMD
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:11 PM
@jl777c yeah, you are right, block times are not even included in any calculations in this topic i linked...
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:11 PM
@БОМБ ОН what is your end goal?
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:11 PM
ok, well, i gave myself enough material for the whole night to read and understand =)
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:11 PM
you seem very motivated, that is good to see
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:12 PM
@dukeleto creating extremely simple and not-necessarily extremely precise calculator for how much coins you can get with specific hash rate
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:12 PM
what level of math will be involved?
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:12 PM
working on some pools around, so i'd like to have that as a "feature"
and it is "javascript" level of math :D
lol
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:13 PM
and how long do you expect linear interpolation to be useful? I ask that question very seriously and deeply, and a math nerd who deeply questions profit calculators
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:13 PM
nothing too serious, really, just a rough estimation...
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:13 PM
you can get instantaneous values, but they constantly change
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:13 PM
"expect linear interpolation to be useful"?? let me try to translate this to simple words ^^
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:13 PM
trying to predict the future of mining profit, it's like predicting the weather next month
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:13 PM
ah no, no, nothing of that sort
no predictions...
just rough estimation based on current network state
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:14 PM
daily profit given current conditions?
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:14 PM
that's all
yeah
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:14 PM
ok, that is reasonable then. whattomine/coinwarz/etc
БОМБ ОН20-Mar-19 08:14 PM
yeah, nothing more complicated than that... even simpler...
dukeleto20-Mar-19 08:15 PM
i would love to see something like you describe, for all zcash-world stuff, zec, kmd and all the forks and freaks


 (WVLT/WXIX) -- Investigators said an Ohio mother was accused of taking pictures of her "fully naked" 16-year-old daughter on her cell phone and then sending them to the child.
WXIX reported that Jennifer Roell, 44, was arrested on Monday, November 18, on a felony count of endangering children.
Investigators said Roell's daughter forwarded the nude photos to her boyfriend.
Roell was held at the Hamilton County Jail in lieu of a $25,000 cash bond.


CHARLIE CHAN IN SHANGHAI (director: James Tinling; screenwriters: Gerald Fairlie/Robert Ellis; cinematographer: Barney "Chick" McGill; editor: Nick De Maggio; cast: Warner Oland (Charlie Chan), Russell Hicks (James Andrews), Keye Luke (Lee Chan), Charles Locher (Philip Nash), Irene Hervey (Diana Woodland), Halliwell Hobbes (Chief of Police, Colonel Watkins), Fredrik Vogeding (Burke), Neil Fitzgerald (Dakin), Max Wagner (Taxi Driver), David Torrence (Sir Stanley Woodland), Harry Strang (Chauffeur); Runtime: 70; 20th Century Fox; 1935)
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
Charlie Chan returns by ship with his children to his hometown for a working vacation because he received a letter from Sir Stanley Woodland (David Torrence) asking for help, but he did not spell out what that help is he wanted. On the boat, he receives a threatening letter telling him not to stay in Shanghai.
Charlie is welcomed to Shanghai by Sir Stanley's attractive niece Diana Woodland (Herve) and her boyfriend, Sir Stanley's secretary, Philip Nash (Charles Locher-he later changed his name to Jon Hall).
Unfortunately at a banquet welcoming Charlie back to China, Sir Stanley opens up a case to present a scroll to Charlie and an explosion from a gun-like device occurs killing him.
It turns out that Sir Stanley was a British agent investigating opium smugglers. Charlie does not even trust the police chief, Colonel Watkins (Hobbes), when he asks to help, as Charlie tells him as of now he prefers to work alone. He is only helped by his overeager but mostly inept Number One Son, Lee (Luke). In their hotel room someone tries to kill Charlie, but Charlie had pillows stuffed in his bed and slept in another room.
A chauffeur comes with a message to Charlie that it's urgent for the police chief to see him immediately, he smells something fishy and calls the police chief. But the hotel switchboard operator tells her boss Marloff that Chan is still alive, as she puts Charlie's call through to him. Marloff acts as the police chief confirming the meeting. When the real police call, Lee follows Chan but is knocked out by the taxi driver and brought to where they are questioning his father. But Lee makes up for his carelessness by telling them the place is surrounded by police and uses kung-fu to overtake the captors as they go to look.
James Andrews (Russell Hicks) arrives and tells Charlie he's an American agent who was working with Sir Stanley on the opium smuggling case and that they shouldn't confide in anyone else, as that's the way he worked with Sir Stanley. A messenger gives Andrews a note marked very important, but when opened it is of trivial concern. But when Nash is caught stealing that note and then is suspected of trying to take a shot at Charlie while he was conferring with Andrews, he is arrested by Watkins as his fingerprints are found on the weapon. When Charlie takes Andrew's note back to the hotel, he recognizes the important message written in invisible ink and becomes suspicious that Andrews didn't know the code. But Andrews comes by Charlie's hotel and figures out the code.
When Philip escapes from Watkin's office with the help of Diana, Charlie doesn't seem too concerned. And when Lee tells him he spotted the taxi driver who kidnapped him and that he is at a waterfront club, Charlie whispers instructions into Lee's ear and goes with Andrews to make the arrests there of the opium smugglers. It concludes with an action-packed finale, which is not usually the case for the more cerebral way Charlie solves his cases. But there's the usual twist in plot to catch you by surprise as to who the gang leader is.
It made for a very entertaining film, a solid Charlie Chan vehicle even though there's less detective work done in this Chan episode than in others. But the film had plenty of energy, and Oland was just terrific as the persistent detective getting shot at, being abducted, and keeping his head at all times as he tracked down the gang and their leader.

Occasionally I enjoy analyzing articles and writing my own blog posts regarding topics in and around the software industry.
The article I chose to analyze is titled, “Fault tree analysis for composite structural damages” published by the Journal of Aerospace Engineering in 2013. The purpose of this article is to “introduce a fault tree methodology to synthesize various damage modes of composite structures by identifying possible damage causes [1].” Fault tree analysis (FTA) was introduced by Bell Laboratories, and is a “method in system reliability, maintainability, and safety analysis [2].” FTA is a deductive process wherein combinations of failures that could cause undesired events are tested using a tree structure...

The Software Engineering Radio podcast I chose to analyze is titled, “Mike Barker on the LMAX Architecture” published by the IEEE Computer Society in 2016. Barker is a Research and Development programmer at the London Multi-asset Exchange (LMAX). In this podcast, Barker speaks about the LMAX Exchange system. He highlights the architecture, focusing on how the system works, the important non-functional requirements, and the components of the system...

The article I chose to analyze is titled, “The Golden Age of Software Architecture” published by the IEEE Software Journal in 2006. The purpose of this article is to “examine software architecture’s growth in the context of a technology maturation model [1].” The authors state that in the near future, “software architecture will be an essential part of software system building, and will be taken for granted just like all truly successful technologies [1]...”

The design pattern I chose to analyze in this article is the “Builder” pattern within the Java language. The builder pattern is used to create an object made up of other objects. It allows users to “separate the construction of a complex object so that the same construction process can create different representations [1].” This is useful when the user wants the creation of specific parts to be independent of the main object. The pattern allows a “client object to construct a complex object by specifying only its type and content, being shielded from the details related to the object’s representation [2]...”

I think this it's still useful to keep this separate request specifically for real-time notification via one of the means you suggest (Growl notification, indicator in the menu bar, Dock icon etc). The other (#502) is more about on-demand statistics that you'd have to explicitly open in order to see them.

Creating a draw()
function to validate a custom Feathers component
FeathersControl
provides a single, simple draw()
function that may be overridden for validation. In general, though, a little extra structure can go a long way to help organize a component's validation code. The core components in Feathers typically break up validation into three phases. If you're familiar with the component internals Apache Flex (formerly Adobe Flex), you should recognize that this is a similar, but also slightly simpler, approach.
Phase 1: Commit
The first phase passes properties to children. If a property change requires creating or destroying a child dynamically (such as item renderers in a list), it should happen here.
Phase 2: Measurement
The second phase calculates the ideal dimensions of the component. In general, all children should be created by now, and they may need to be validated so that their own dimensions are known in case they affect the dimensions of their parent.
Phase 3: Layout
The third phase is for layout. Children are positioned and resized, using the actualWidth
and actualHeight
properties as the final dimensions of the component.
These three phases are not a core part of FeathersControl
. They are not required, but they provide a useful structure for organizing validation code. A class that provides a stricter, required structure may be introduced in a future version of Feathers, but it will likely live alongside the current FeathersControl
rather than replace it.

BRAVEHEART A film review by John Benjamin Strelow Copyright 1996 John Benjamin Strelow
Rating: 2 out of 5
It was with great anticipation that I sat down to view BRAVEHEART last week as it premiered on American cable. The Academy Award winning film had been highly acclaimed. It also featured the music of one of my favorite film composers, James Horner. What I was in for was a disappointing and overlong film which was anything but the best picture of 1995.
What drags BRAVEHEART down is its screenplay. It abounds with high production values: John Toll's award-winning cinematography (which also graced Edward Zwick's 1994 LEGENDS OF THE FALL), a gorgeous score by Horner, and the sort of logistics that make you wish assistant directors were household names. But this does not save a misguided script.
The film wishes to paint its central character as a hero, but the viewer's only response to his "heroism" is intellectual: William Wallace (producer-director Mel Gibson) is fighting for freedom and against tyranny, so we have to root for him.
But Wallace's actions paint a different story. He speaks of freedom and acts of vengeance. Though one intellectually realizes Wallace is on the right side, the film paints an unconvincing emotional portait, in which Wallace is just not as bad as the English king.
Wallace speaks of freedom, but his acts point toward vengeance. After kicking the English out of Scotland, he decides to invade England. This is evident of a "Spartacus Complex", and this example applies both historically and cinematically. The historical Spartacus at one point moved from liberating slaves to sacking Roman cities; the film SPARTACUS, like BRAVEHEART, has high production values and competent performaces and is dragged down by an awful screenplay.
It is a shame that such an excellent score is part of such a terrible film. Horner's score tries to make emotional connection, but the performances and the script do not help. Gibson portrays Wallace in such a way that the audience cannot relate to him or identify with him. This drags down any emotional connection to the film's plot, and turns three hours into a total waste of time.

Got my salvia in the mail, excited but hesitant after taking the accounts in all of their seriousness. Decided not to try it and let my potential sitter leave before giving in to the call of the new herb in town.
While I expected an intense experience, coming in grounded and knowledgeable, it far exceeded any expectation in terms of how profoundly shaking a brief moment can be.
Took all of the precautions. And more. I moved the table from the middle of my living room to the wall to create more space. Even though I was smoking 2 rooms away in the bedroom of my apartment. Had I not later I would've probably hurt myself while hurtling uncontrollably about my apartment. But more on that later.
So I settle in my bed with the bong and a half of one small leaf. I smoke and hold. I sit back, relax and watch the wall and doorway in at the foot of my bed begin to wrap around me fisheye-like. I am electrified, and though lying back and propped up against some pillows I feel fully straightened, like a beam of energy is flowing through me. I know this is just the tip of the iceberg, and go fire up a full leaf. Just a 1 inch by 2 inch leaf from Oaxaca.
Holding in the smoke I begin to lean back and feel a stretch as the distance to the wall in front of me seems to increase drastically. There is the sensation that the bed below me is stretching and coming apart metaphysically. Think of the top of a candy bar that gets stretched out. Except that in the gaps is nothingness. And I can't see this, by the way, I just feel it.
Then I go into a feedback loop - a moment which repeats itself in which my psyche is torn in two. Let me explain that a bit. The trip involved a polar sensation which attracted my psyche and body with varying degrees of intensity during the trip.
In one direction, behind me to the right, was a roar of echoed sound, an unrecognized but too familiar voice, the echo making the roar a maniacal type of rhythm. In the exact opposite direction was where a string of christmas lights on the wall took on a the character of a zipper stretching to an unseen horizon. This zipper was an active rift in reality, or so it seemed, with light and energy at the seam and the darkest void beyond. Upon seeing the void I was immediately overcome with remorse, a deep emotional guilt at having trespassed over a threshold. And guilt for desiring to pursue the void. I was conscious of having wronged some sort of order and could be held responsible. It was a very profound moment which I will be trying to understand for some time to come. I was very glad to have had a pen and paper handy for as soon as I stopped shaking enough to write. I also shot some confessional video which I cannot yet characterize.
That was the first part of the trip. I guess I'd call it a peak. I look at it as a vision. I understand why many people say it is like detuning reality, like seeing into another dimension which is very intimately related to our own, possibly even within it. During this time (5 minutes) time ceased. I think the emotional weight of the experience so exceeds normal existence that any awareness of time is completely obliterated.
But there is so much more.
 One moment I am saying whoa, woah, woah, over and over again. I am shocked and astounded at what I have just felt. The next moment I am in silent, muddled shock. Again I am asking out loud what was that, trying to interpolate the prior moments peeling away of the texture of reality and such, And find myself pulled out of bed through no will of my own, and hurtle into the next room. I am flitting in and out of touch with myself as I am pulled from room to room of my house. I was conscious of my reading at this point and was thankful to know that I would soon regain the will over my wayward limbs. I was glad the table was not there. I was glad the door was locked. Later I realized I scared my dog so badly he wouldnt come out from under the bed for an hour.
While not as significantly thought provoking as the emotional and psychological effects of the salvia, the loss of physical control so completely, yet with a sense of self, will require me to do some serious reflection.
1 and 1/2 leaf folks.
I find it shocking that many are firing up vastly greater quantities for their first try. Or trying extract before the leaf.
Beware. This is not a recreational drug. Be ready to have to think through serious issues of self immediately after the experience.
While on one level I was glad to have had this trip in private, I needed to express my feelings about the experience immediately afterwards and couldn't get my hand to stop shaking enough to write. (In fact at one point while being pulled about the apartment I grabbed the pen, wrote one word, and was pulled in another direction, dragging my pen off the page. . .) I called a friend and gushed like a maniac about a void and feeling remorse about having crossed a threshold.
 Then you'll know. Or you' d likely be better off not to.
All the stuff about respect for Salvia is not a joke. I doubt that those without experience tripping have any remote basis for understanding the way it can potentially derange your being. Even experienced trippers don't. I didn't.
