Conditions
Conditions serve to restrict the number of query matches by placing requirements on the attributes of an object or link in the database.
Conditions are commonly, but not exclusively, used to enforce type restrictions in query matches.
Attribute value conditions restrict matches to only those database entities that match the attribute values specified in the query.
Existence conditions test only to see whether the corresponding object or link has an instance of the specified attribute, but do not require that the attribute have any particular value.
Attribute value conditions can use the comparison operators
=
, <
,
>
, <=
,
>=
, and <>
Simple conditions can be combined using disjunctive normal form.
An attribute value condition is satisfied if any member of the set of attribute values for the corresponding database entity satisfies the condition.
If an object or link does not have a value for the attribute
listed in an attribute value condition, the condition’s
expression is false
and the condition fails (unless negated by NOT
).
The use of set-valued attributes means that different
attribute values for a single object or link may satisfy different
condition tests, yielding the result that
NOT(
is not necessarily equivalent to
attr
= value
)
.
attr
<> value
Case sensitivity
Proximity ignores case when matching attribute names.
Proximity obeys case when matching attribute values.
Efficiency considerations
It is generally more efficient to include more rather than fewer restrictions in the form of conditions.
Use existence conditions instead of attribute value conditions when they match the same data.
Taking advantage of some of these efficiency improvements may require perfect information about a database’s schema. In practice, we frequently do not have thorough enough information about a database to be able to use efficiency improvements with confidence.

Village of Gadsby residents vote to become hamlet in County of Stettler
Definitive vote to dissolution of the village
By Jessica Jones
For the Independent
Residents of the Village of Gadsby have overwhelmingly voted in favour of becoming a hamlet in the County of Stettler on Nov. 13th, 14th.
The Village of Gadsby, located 20 minutes east of Stettler, is known for being the smallest village in Alberta with an approximate population of just 40 people.
Twenty-seven residents voted in favour of becoming a hamlet, while one person voted to remain a village.
Municipal Affairs chose to oversee the vote following the Village of Gadsby Viability Review Report, which was expedited following the resignations of the village’s CAO and three-member council in early May.
The report provided an analysis on the state of the village, details of an infrastructure audit, as well as a description of what could be expected if the village dissolves.
County of Stettler Director of Communications Niki Thorsteinsson says the Minister of Municipal Affairs will recommend the “dissolution of the Village of Gadsby” to the Provincial Cabinet.
“It will ultimately be Cabinet’s decision whether or not they dissolve the Village of Gadsby,” she said.
“At this time we are not aware of the timeline associated with these next steps,” Thorsteinsson said, adding that there is more information to come.

Philadelphia will be without wide receiver Alshon Jeffery this afternoon.
Jeffery was expected to play as of Saturday night, but he’s been trending in the wrong direction this morning.
The wide receiver has officially been listed as inactive.
The Seahawks have suffered a significant loss, too.
Seattle will be without star defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney.
We’ll see which team can push through the injury trouble and come away with a major win.

The Haunting (1999) 1/2 star out of 4. Starring Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Owen Wilson and Lili Taylor. Directed by Jan De Bont.
"The Haunting" the original, 1963 Robert Wise-directed version is one of the scariest films in the history of cinema.
And it follows the precepts of two old grand masters of the horror genre Boris Karloff and Vincent Price. Both said on more than one occasion that the most frightening terror was not what was put on screen, but what the audience conjured up in its own imagination.
That was where Wise's "Haunting" succeeded so brilliantly. Everything happened just out of sight. You heard noises, but never saw anything, or something flashed by so quickly you weren't sure what you saw.
The same cannot be said for a very lame remake of "The Haunting" released by DreamWorks. It is about as scary as a haunted house ride at a kiddie park.
At a screening of the movie, audience members laughed during scenes that were supposed to make them scream.
Everything in this new version of "The Haunting" is bigger, especially the house, the sets and the special effects. It looks like more money was poured into these than into financing an adequate script.
Calling the screenplay for "The Haunting" mediocre gives it more credit than it is due.
"The Haunting" is a dud, a big disappointment, a letdown. It reeks of cynicism.
And I'm angry because Hollywood in its infinite idiocy has once again taken a classic and tried to "improve" on it not through the story but by using bells and whistles.  Their penalty should be an eternity in purgatory with continuous showings of this abomination coupled with the remake of "The Wild Wild West."

In the original, a scientist invited a group of test subjects most of whom had paranormal powers such as ESP to spend time with him in an evil, old house. The doctor wanted to prove that ghosts and evil spirits did exist. Those who joined him knew from the outset what they were in for.
In this remake, a scientist (Liam Neeson, in a very weak role) invites three people to join him in a spooky old castle ostensibly to study insomnia, but in reality, he is conducting experiments in fear. Of course, he fails to let his subjects know what he's doing, but, hey, I guess scientists today also have seen a sharp decline in ethics.
So tagging along with Neeson are Lili Taylor's Eleanor, who is a bit off-kilter after spending the past 11 years caring for her demanding invalid mother; Catherine Zeta-Jones' Theo, a bisexual artist; and Owen Wilson's Luke, a wise-cracking cynic.
It's not even worth the time or effort to go into the specifics of the plot.
Let's just say there's a gratuitous decapitation inserted solely for shock value; a ghost who's about as scary as Casper; and a silly looking haunted house that can pass as a refugee from a Scooby-Doo cartoon.
The interior of the house looks as if it were decorated by the same people who did the Nostromo in "Alien."
Director Jan De Bont, the man who gave us "Speed" and "Twister," seems to be in a slump. Prior to this he directed the dreadful sequel "Speed 2: Cruise Control." Perhaps the three-strikes law should be applied to movie directors. If so, De Bont would be a prime candidate.
"The Haunting" is dull, dreadful and plodding. It's about as scary as "Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla." The only thing scarier would be if DreamWorks decides to do a sequel.

A Fortuna cigarette was dipped in water [soaking about 5mm] and then inserted into a vial of 5-meo-DMT. I have tripped before, but I've always been conservative about the dose [I don't have a very good scale, so it's of no use]. I've tripped using tweezers to measure out a dose onto tinfoil and smaller doses using the cigarette-method, but this time I wanted to have a classic 5-meo-DMT expirience. My earlier trips were + and ++'s. There was a rushing body buzz and a skewing of time and visual perception. My last trip was a +3, and very near a +4.
I had been on vacation at the Outer Banks for 4 days or so. I was troubled earlier by drunken assholes being themselves, and I thought this may affect my trip. It was (roughly) 2 o'clock in the morning.
I walked out onto the beach and prepared for my trip. The waning moon lit up the beach and the fog that had settled during the evening. I sat on the steps of a beachfront home and looked at the ocean and moon. I felt no paranoia. I lit the cigarette and heard it crackle as the moisture and DMT crystals burnt out of the tip and through the cigarette. As the DMT entered my lungs the slight sting of tobacco smoke and DMT smoke urged me to cough. I held back the sensation and inhaled a second time, still holding my previous hit. As the stinging subsided I knew this would be a bigger trip than ever before.
I felt a surge in my loins as I experienced the aphrodesiac affect of 5-meo-DMT. This quickly passed as I was rocked farther into oblivion. During the onset I felt as though I was being smoothly shot 2 steps away and 1 step toward baseline. I had been looking at the moon during the onset and within a couple of seconds I began to see two wings forming from the moon. They got larger and more defined. 'I saw an angel,' was all I could mutter, half unaware that I was still in its prescence. It reassured me. It seemed to tell me, just by being present, that I was worth something. There was a god. There is a point.
I took a drag of the cigarette and the smoke filled my lungs and escaped, tangling with the moonlight and joining the fog. My hand left my mouth and fluttered in a stream of tracers to my knee, only somewhat under my control. 'This is what it is like to live,' I said to myself. 'This is what it's like.' I repeated this a couple times while listening to the breaking waves and taking drags of the cigarette.
I looked to the right of the moon and saw Mars shining brightly through the fog. 'Mars.' Our sister planet. Shining through the fog, watching our back.
The comedown was rough. Not because of the chemistry of the drug but because of the beauty of my trip. I simply did not want to return to the 'normal' world. I was still +3 as I finished up my cigarette. I stumbled as I walked toward the ocean and later wandered home.
I don't think I will do 5-meo-DMT again soon, but I would like to do it again. There are so many emotions occuring in one instant, it's hard to comprehend what you're feeling and it slows time to a snail's pace.

A set of useful extensions for the very popular Bootstrap framework.
This framework depends heavily on Bootstrap 3 and jQuery. Include the dependencies (jQuery 2.2.4 or newer, Bootstrap 3 js and css files) in your
section and after them insert the following two lines to include Bootstrap-Extend:
Alternatively you can download the files on your local machine from my Github page and include them using a local path.
Note: I know that RawGit is not 100% reliable and that sometimes problems can occur, as well as the fact that using a hash might look kinda clumsy, but this is a free project and so far this seems like my best option.
This framework is all about custom CSS styles for commonly used elements and responsive and lightweight components. Most of these components complement Bootstrap's aesthetic or aim to deal with its shortcomings in one way or another. More components will be added regularly. Bootstrap-Extend aims to eventually fill the gap left by Bootstrap in certain areas, without the need to include each component individually, but rather provide people with a consistent set of elements all in one place.
If you want to get individual components instead of the whole thing, head over to my Github page, find the components you need and copy paste the corresponding SCSS and Javascript files. You will need to compile the SCSS files locally before you have a working CSS file that you can use.
Use the .btn-notice
class like any other button tag from Bootstrap. Inspired from the Bootstrap website's header colors.
Extend the functionality of your <input type="password">
fields by adding a button that toggles password display on or off. Simply add the .pwd
class to your field and the .pwd-toggle
class to a
element in the same .input-group
and users can now toggle password viewing on or off. When the form is submitted, the field will revert to type="password"
regardless of its current state for security reasons. Just be sure to use an <input type="submit">
element to submit your form.
Use the .switch
class only on <input type="checkbox">
or <input type="radio">
elements. Don't forget to add a
after it and link it to the input's id
. There are two types of toggle switches, round and rectangular. Both types have seven flavours, similar to the classic Bootstrap buttons:
.switch-round-default
and .switch-rect-default
.switch-round-primary
and .switch-rect-primary
.switch-round-success
and .switch-rect-success
.switch-round-info
and .switch-rect-info
.switch-round-warning
and .switch-rect-warning
.switch-round-danger
and .switch-rect-danger
.switch-round-notice
and .switch-rect-notice
You can also add optional text labels to your toggle switches. There are three options of toggle switch text labels:
.switch-on-off
(Displays "ON" and "OFF").switch-io
(Displays the on and off symbols).switch-yes-no
(Displays "YES" and "NO")Original idea and implementation by callmenick.com.
Use the .lightbox-toggle
class on a link element surrounding an image element to create a lightbox that opens when you click on the image. Be sure to specify a unique id
for the image element. The lightbox will automatically resize to properly fit your browser's size and change its size accordingly to the browser when the window is resized. You can use the alt
attribute of the image to show a custom title in your lightbox, otherwise you can leave it blank to show the URL of the image.
Suggestion: Use this lightbox with Bootstrap's .thumbnail
class and/or in combination with tooltips to show your users that the images can be viewed in a lightbox.
Make your numeric inputs prettier by using the .spinner
class on an .input-group
with a text input element and two buttons. Comes in two styles: arrows (.spinner-up-down
class) and plus/minus (.spinner-plus-minus
class).
Bootstrap's Collapse is great. But if you are looking for a different style for your content toggle buttons, you can now use the .btn-toggle
class in combintion with a
element to achieve that. All the functionality of the original Bootstrap component remains intact.
Use the .chkbox
class only on <input type="checkbox">
elements. Don't forget to add a
after it and link it to the checkbox's id
. There are seven flavours of checkboxes, similar to the classic Bootstrap buttons:
.chkbox-default
.chkbox-primary
.chkbox-success
.chkbox-info
.chkbox-warning
.chkbox-danger
.chkbox-notice
You can also use the .chkbox-lg
, .chkbox-sm
and .chkbox-xs
classes to change the size of your checkboxes.
Use the .rdbtn
class only on <input type="radio">
elements. Don't forget to add a
after it and link it to the radio button's id
. There are seven flavours of radio buttons, similar to the classic Bootstrap buttons:
.rdbtn-default
.rdbtn-primary
.rdbtn-success
.rdbtn-info
.rdbtn-warning
.rdbtn-danger
.rdbtn-notice
You can also use the .rdbtn-lg
, .rdbtn-sm
and .rdbtn-xs
classes to change the size of your radio buttons.
Use the .urd
class for unordered lists or the .ord
class for ordered lists in combination with one of the three styles (disc, circle and square). Apart from that, you can use the .urd-big
to make your unordered list bullets larger. There are 7 color combinations, along with the above options:
.urd-disc-default
, .urd-circle-default
and .urd-square-default
.urd-disc-primary
, .urd-circle-primary
and .urd-square-primary
.urd-disc-success
, .urd-circle-success
and .urd-square-success
.urd-disc-info
, .urd-circle-info
and .urd-square-info
.urd-disc-warning
, .urd-circle-warning
and .urd-square-warning
.urd-disc-danger
, .urd-circle-danger
and .urd-square-danger
.urd-disc-notice
, .urd-circle-notice
and .urd-square-notice
Similarly, you can use the classes for ordered lists by replacing .urd-
with .ord-
. Note that ordered lists using these classes only use the decimal
value for the list-style
attribute and different values will not be taken into account.
Use the .slct
class to give a new style to your <select>
elements. Note: this particular class might not work in older versions of Internet Explorer.

The RealmMigration class is used to describe the migration of one Realm schema to another.
The schema for a Realm is defined by all classes in a project that extend
RealmObject
, so any changes to these classes will require a migration.
To support migrations from any previous version to the newest, the following pattern is
recommended when writing a migration:
public class CustomMigration implements RealmMigration {
\@Override
public long execute(Realm realm, long version) {
if (version == 0) {
// Migrate from v0 to v1
version++;
}
if (version == 0) {

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted.
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text.  Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Splendor ***
rated R Samuel Goldwyn Films 93 minutes starring Kathleen Robertson, Johnathon Schaech, Matt Keeslar, Kelly MacDonald, Eric Mabius written and directed by Gregg Araki
Gregg Araki is best known as the writer/director of the `Teen Apocalypse Trilogy'; three films (`The Living End', `The Doom Generation' and `Nowhere') which predicted the end of life as we know it. Araki, who usually lets his style undermine his substance, quietly triumphs with `Splendor', an upbeat, sparkling comedy about a woman trying to make her menage a trois relationship work.
The plotline and mood of `Splendor' are a refreshing change from the over the top nihilism of Araki's first few films, but it still features his best asset: his colorful, inventive portrayal of Los Angeles in the not too distant future.
Kathleen Robertson, a former `Beverly Hills, 90210' beauty who was discovered by Araki for `Nowhere', plays the twenty-ish Veronica with a perfect mixture of sweetness, vulnerability and confidence. One Halloween night, she meets Abel (Johnathon Schaech), a fun music critic, and Zed (Matt Keeslar), a sexy, dimwitted drummer.
Veronica begins to date both simultaneously, and is attracted to each of them equally. She decides that it would be a good idea to let them know the situation, and a metaphorical boxing match ensues. But slowly, through their love for Veronica, they relinquish their selfishness and share her. Before long, both have moved in, and are sharing a bed.
Meanwhile, Veronica, also a starving actress, lands a role in a terrible TV movie, and the director, Ernest (Eric Mabius), starts to put the moves on her. Veronica has no real feelings for him, but she realizes that she craves financial stability. The next day, she learns of her pregnancy, and she thinks about giving her child the life she never had. Abel and Zed, who are each penniless, aren't too surprised when she leaves them for Ernest. But conscience creeps up on her, and she has to decide between a life of luxury and stability and one of love and spontaneity.
Kathleen Robertson is amazing! As the lead character, she almost singlehandedly carries the film, and evokes the splendor of the title. Schaech and Keeslar are around mostly to look good and act dumb, but they manage to make their characters quite charming.
Gregg Araki doesn't go for too much with this film, which is a welcome relief and helps `Splendor' shine. His screenplay is snappy, though not as good as James Toback's similarly themed `Two Girls And A Guy'. `Splendor' is slight, instead of edgy, and that making it quite a pleasant diversion.
`Splendor' has a brighter outlook on life than Araki's previous work, which is surprising since it is his last film before the new millennium. The quirky assurance that a three person relationship could work may make this a hit with the indie crowd.
Araki has a knack for finding talented young actors. Famous faces such as Ryan Phillippe, Heather Graham, Rose McGowan, Christina Applegate and Mena Suvari all owe much to Araki's clever casting. His highly entertaining, offbeat and emotionally hollow `Nowhere', for example, features one of the best teenage casts I've ever seen.
Gregg Araki may be veering towards the mainstream, but `Splendor' is his most accomplished work to date. More so, it is the film that establishes Kathleen Robertson as a performer to watch.

 "Hey, gimme that one." "Nah, already read this one."
And now that they have gone their separate ways we are facing a glut of cinematic MAD-magazine humor. Whether that is a blessing or curse probably depends on how *you* spent your dull afternoons when you were a kid.
So, okay, HOT SHOTS is TOP GUN as reinterpreted by MAD. Is it a laugh-a-minute? Not really. Does it get its yuks? Certainly. So a recommendation is hard to make, other than you might catch it at a matinee or wait until it comes out on video.
 To successfully reduce that to excess means really going over the top and HOT SHOTS only succeeds at that intermittently.
But it does have its moments and I would say stays one step ahead of (if not fly rings around) NAKED GUN 1/2 (not the correct title but the appropriate one).

WAY OF THE GUN A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2000 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): **
Bam. Bam. Bam.
WAY OF THE GUN, written and directed by Oscar-winning writer Christopher McQuarrie (THE USUAL SUSPECTS), is a migraine headache of gunfire. With thousands of expended bullets, the movie is a Quentin Tarantino-like fantasyland of two-bit hoods, bagmen and organized crime, all firing at each other with a vengeance. Interrupted by regular spurts of video-game shoot-'em-ups, the uneven film generally drags along as if it were trying to approximate slow motion without actually resorting to modifying the speed.
An ambitious movie with a dense storyline of competing characters who have complicated allegiances, it promises more than it delivers. The setup and the action sequences are imaginative, but, overall, first-time director Christopher McQuarrie shows more skills as a writer than a director. Key sections of the movie sag when they should sizzle. Others sizzle but are allowed to overcook.
The plot features a couple of low-life losers, Longbaugh (Benicio Del Toro) and Parker (Ryan Phillippe), who figure that they are bound for a minimum-wage job or a life of petty crime unless they go looking for the fortune that is looking for them. Visiting a sperm bank to raise a little cash, they hit upon their big idea. They hear about a woman, Robin (Juliette Lewis), who is carrying a rich couple's child so that the biological mother will not have to be bothered with the pain of pregnancy and childbirth. Our two Einsteins (Longbaugh and Parker) figure that all they need to do is kidnap Robin and demand a fortune for her return. They take the time to find out that the baby's father is an A-list bad guy.
The frequent stupidity of the kidnappers is a plot thread that never really pays off, save providing fodder for one of the film's best lines. "Is he the brains of the outfit or you?" Joe (James Caan) asks Longbaugh about Parker. "To tell the truth, I don't think this is a brains kind of outfit," confesses Longbaugh. In general the story's tone is deadly serious, which is underscored by sober music, heavy on the low registers. The few comic lines are welcome changes of pace.
The best sequence in the movie is the opening bar fight set outside a nightclub. As Longbaugh and Parker sit on a long-haired guy's new Mercedes, the owner and his girl friend threaten them. Using non-stop profanity, the guy and his girlfriend tell them just what they will do to them if they don't move immediately. The resulting action is surprising and hilarious. And, like the rest of the film, very gory. McQuarrie seems to pride himself on devising new ways to make the audience squirm. His staging of an "operating room" scene may have even those with the strongest stomachs heading for the exits.
But even with its many problems, WAY OF THE GUN isn't a bad film. The story is intriguing, and we are never quite sure what will happen next. McQuarrie does a masterful job of creating an unusual mood and atmosphere for the movie. The actor's performances are all good in revealing so little of their unsympathetic characters that we want to know exactly what they are thinking.
After about an hour or so, we are more than ready to bid our players goodbye. The concluding part, when it finally arrives, feels like it will never end. We want everyone to die in the final bloodbath so we can finally get the movie over -- its intrigue having long-since given way to tedium.

Clive Owen to play Bill Clinton in season three of ‘American Crime Story’
LOS ANGELES, Nov 16 — The Oscar-nominated actor will star as the former US President in Impeachment: American Crime Story, the third season of FX’s award-winning limited series franchise.
The third season will centre on the scandal that rocked the Clinton presidency. It will be based on Jeffrey Toobin’s bestseller A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President. Toobin’s 1997 book The Run of His Life: The People v. O. J. Simpson was the source material for Season 1 of American Crime Story.
Owen joins Sarah Paulson, who will play Linda Tripp, Beanie Feldstein, playing Monica Lewinsky and Annaleigh Ashford playing Paula Jones.
The show will be written by Sarah Burgess, who will also executive produce, along with Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, Brad Falchuk, Larry Karaszewski, Scott Alexander, Alexis Martin Woodall and Paulson. Feldstein, Henrietta Conrad, Jemima Khan and Lewinsky will produce.
“Impeachment: American Crime Story” is slated to premiere in September 2020.
Owen was most recently seen in Gemini Man. He will shortly star opposite Julianne Moore in the Apple limited series Lisey’s Story. — AFP-Relaxnews

The ribosome is a key component to life; it is found in every living cell, and is responsible for translation of genetic information from messenger RNA to coded protein. Each ribosome consists of several large ribosomal RNA molecules, over fifty ribosomal proteins. A ribosome contains over 300,000 atoms. Many of core functional regions of the ribosome are nearly identical in structure and sequence in all living organisms. Comparison of ribosomal components reveals information about phylogeny and evolution.
Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and ribosomal proteins (rProteins) associate to form two assemblies, the large (LSU) and small (SSU) subunits, both of which have highly conserved cores (Lake, et al., 1982; Noller, et al., 1981; Woese and Fox, 1977). The rProteins play critical roles in ribosomal assembly and function (Klein, et al., 2004).
Ribosomes are the workhorses of protein biosynthesis, the process of translating mRNA into protein. The mRNA comprises a series of codons that dictate to the ribosome the sequence of the amino acids needed to make the protein. Using the mRNA as a template, the ribosome traverses each codon (3 nucleotides) of the mRNA, pairing it with the appropriate amino acid provided by an aminoacyl-tRNA. aminoacyl-tRNA contains a complementary anticodon on one end and the appropriate amino acid on the other. The small ribosomal subunit binds to an AUG codon on the mRNA and recruits the large ribosomal subunit. The ribosome contains three RNA binding sites, designated A, P and E. The A site binds an aminoacyl-tRNA; the P site binds a peptidyl-tRNA (a tRNA bound to the peptide being synthesized); and the E site binds a free tRNA before it exits the ribosome. Protein synthesis begins at a start codon AUG near the 5' end of the mRNA. mRNA binds to the P site of the ribosome first.


Tools for requirements management store and manage information about requirements. They allow testers to prioritize requirements and to follow their implementation status.
In a narrow sense, they are not testing tools, but they are very useful for defining a test based on requirements (see section 3.7.1) and for planning the test; for example, the test could be oriented on the implementation status of a requirement. For this purpose, requirements management tools are usually able to exchange information with test management tools.
Thus, it is possible to seamlessly interconnect requirements, tests, and test results. For every requirement the corresponding tests can be found and vice versa. The tools also help to find inconsistencies or holes in the requirements, and they can identify requirements without test cases; that is, requirements that otherwise might go untested.
Requirements and specification documents generally combine text, graphs, and special mathematical diagrams and symbols. The nature of the presentation depends on the particular style, method, or notation used. When measuring code or design size, you can identify atomic entities to count (lines, statements, bytes, classes, and methods, for example).
However, a requirements or specification document can consist of a mixture of text and diagrams. For example, a use case analysis may consist of a UML use case diagram along with a set of use case scenarios that may be expressed as either text or as UML activity diagrams. Because a requirements analysis often consists of a mix of document types, it is difficult to generate a single size measure.
EXAMPLE 8.10
There are obvious atomic elements in a variety of requirements and specification model types that can be counted:
i. Use case diagrams: Number of use cases, actors, and relationships of various types
ii. Use case: Number of scenarios, size of scenarios in terms of steps, or activity diagram model elements
iii. Domain model (expressed as a UML class diagram): Number of classes, abstract classes, interfaces, roles, operations, and attributes
iv. UML OCL specifications: Number of OCL expressions, OCL clauses
v. Alloy models: Number of alloy statements—signatures, facts, predicates, functions, and assertions (Jackson 2002)
vi. Data-flow diagrams used in structured analysis and design: Processes (bubbles nodes), external entities (box nodes), data-stores (line nodes) and data-flows (arcs)
vii. Algebraic specifications: Sorts, functions, operations, and axioms
viii. Z specifications: The various lines appearing in the specification, which form part of either a type declaration or a (non-conjunctive) predicate (Spivey 1993)
We can enforce comparability artificially by defining a page as an atomic entity, so that both text and diagrams are composed of a number of sequential pages. Thus, the number of pages measures length for arbitrary types of documentation and is frequently used in industry.
===========================================================================
EXAMPLE 1
Suppose P is a program produced to meet the following specification, S:
The inputs to the program are exam scores expressed as percentages. The outputs are comments, generated according to the following rules:
For scores under 45, the program outputs “fail”
For scores between 45 and 80 inclusive, the program outputs “pass”
For scores above 80, the program outputs “pass with distinction”
Any input other than a numeric value between 0 and 100 should produce the error message “invalid input”
A set of five test cases for P is
(40, “fail”)
(60, “pass”)
(90, “pass with distinction”)
(110, “invalid input”)
(fifty, “invalid input”)
Suppose that on input “40,” program P outputs “fail.” Then we say that P is correct on that input. If, for the input “110,” the program P outputs “pass with distinction,” then P fails on this input; the correct output should have been the error message “invalid input.”
The objective of a software testing strategy is to devise and run a set of test cases that satisfy or cover a set of test requirements. The test requirements are defined in terms of a software artifact or model of a software artifact, where an artifact may be the requirements, specification, design, program code, etc. These models are often graphs, for example, flowgraphs.
One testing strategy is to select test cases so that every program statement is executed at least once. This approach is called statement coverage—each statement is a test requirement. For deterministic software, each test case causes one test path through the program to execute. In terms of the program flowgraph, statement coverage is achieved by finding a set of test cases that execute test paths such that every flowgraph node lies on at least one test path.
EXAMPLE 2
Drawing 1 contains a program written to meet the specification S of Example 1. We can achieve 100% statement coverage for this program by choosing just two of the test cases: one with input “90,” and one with input “40.”
For “90,” the program executes the path <ABDEFG>.
For “40,” the program executes the path <ABCEG>.
Thus, C is covered in the second case, and all the other nodes are covered in the first case, so we have a complete statement coverage.
Another testing strategy is to select test cases so that every program branch is executed at least once. This approach, called branch (or edge) coverage, means finding test cases that cause the execution of a set of test paths such that every edge lies on at least one test path.
EXAMPLE 3
The set of test cases selected in Example 2 satisfies branch as well as statement coverage. However, this will not always be true. In the same program, the two paths ABCEFG and ABDEFG satisfy 100% statement coverage, but fail to cover the edge EG.
The most exhaustive structural testing strategy is to select test cases such that every possible test path is executed at least once. This approach is called complete path coverage. In terms of the program flowgraph, complete path coverage requires running every single test path through the flowgraph. This strategy, although appealing in theory, is normally impossible in practice. If the program has even a single loop, then complete path coverage can never be achieved because a loop gives rise to an infinite number of test paths.
There is another fundamental impediment to any structural testing strategy: infeasible paths. An infeasible path is a program path that cannot be executed for any input. In practice, infeasible paths can appear even in the simplest of programs.
EXAMPLE 9.20
In the program of Drawing 2, the path ABCEFG is infeasible. To see why, notice that node C is executed only when the score is less than 45, while node F is executed only when the score is more than 80. Thus, no input score can cause the program to execute both nodes C and F. The existence of infeasible paths can mean that, in practice, we may not be able to achieve 100% coverage for any structural testing strategy (even statement coverage).
Numerous other structural testing strategies have been proposed. In particular, researchers have tried to define strategies so that
1. They are more comprehensive than statement and branch coverage (in the sense of requiring more test cases).
2. The number of test cases required is finite even when there are loops.
Several of these strategies make use of the notion of simple paths and prime paths. They define a simple path as a path that does not contain the same node more than once except for the first and last node. A prime path is a simple path that “does not appear as a proper subpath of any other simple path.”
Examples:
• Edge-pair coverage: Testing “each reachable path of length up to 2” in the flowgraph.
• Simple-round-trip coverage: Testing “at least one round-trip path for each reachable node in” the flowgraph “that begins and ends a round-trip path,” where a round-trip path is a prime path that starts and ends at the same node. This requires every cycle through a loop to be tested, but does require branch coverage or all cycles through loops that contain decisions.
• Prime path coverage: Testing all prime paths in the flowgraph. This requires testing all cycles that start at reachable nodes, and, depending on the branches inside a loop, requires testing execution paths that cause a loop to cycle two or more times. Prime path coverage satisfies branch coverage, and requires a finite number of tests.
We have already noted one problem with structural testing strategies (namely, infeasible paths). In practice, there are two further important obstacles:
1. No structural strategy on its own (even 100% complete path coverage when feasible) can guarantee adequate software testing. Consider, for example, the program in Illustration 1, which implements the specification in Example 1. The path ABDEFG correctly outputs “distinction” when the input is “90.” However, the correct output for one execution does not mean that every execution of the path ABDEFG is correct. For instance, the input score “110” also executes the path ABDEFG, but the program wrongly outputs “pass with distinction” when it should be producing “invalid input.”
2. Knowing the set of paths that satisfies a particular strategy does not tell you how to create test cases to match the paths. This problem is undecidable in general—no automated method is guaranteed to either find the appropriate test cases or determine that such data does not exist; however, some commercial testing tools provide assistance.
2 Test Effectiveness Ratio
For a given program and a set of cases to test it, we would like to know the extent to which the test cases satisfy a particular testing strategy.
EXAMPLE 2.1
Suppose we are testing the program in Illustration 1, and we have run two test cases with input scores “60” and “90.” The test cases traverse two paths, ABDEG and ABDEFG, covering 6 of the 7 statements, 7 of the 9 edges, and 2 of the 4 paths in the program. Thus, we say that statement coverage is 86%, branch coverage is 78%, and path coverage is 50%.
We can define these percentages formally. Let C be a testing criterion that requires us to cover a class of test requirements (such as paths, simple paths, linearly independent paths, LCSAJs, edges, or statements). For a given program and set of test cases, the test effectiveness ratio (TERC ) is defined as
TERC = (Number of C requirements executed at least once) / (Total number of t est requirements for criterion C)
A change request is a document containing a call for an adjustment of a system; it is of great importance in the change management process.
A change request is declarative, i.e. it states what needs to be accomplished, but leaves out how the change should be carried out. Important elements of a change request are an ID, the customer (ID), the deadline (if applicable), an indication whether the change is required or optional, the change type (often chosen from a domain-specific ontology) and a change abstract, which is a piece of narrative. An example of a change request can be found in Illustration 1 on the right.
Change requests typically originate from one of five sources:
problem reports that identify bugs that must be fixed, which forms the most common source
system enhancement requests from users
events in the development of other systems
changes in underlying structure and or standards (e.g. in software development this could be a new operating system)
demands from senior management
Additionally, in Project Management, change requests may also originate from an unclear understanding of the goals and the objectives of the project.
Change Request metrics
Use Change Request metrics to monitor and control the rate of change to application software.
Method
Prepare a management summary of the Change Requests, (CRs) which have been raised and/or processed, using a graphical means to present the information, where appropriate. The monthly and quarterly reports identified below are representative of those that can be prepared.
Monthly
The following reports are generally appropriate for monthly assessment of the maintenance process.
Change Request Status Report
Identify the number of CRs compared to previous time periods:
· by sub-category,
· by logged status.
Outstanding Backlog
Identify the estimated effort outstanding (this represents work backlog) compared to previous time periods for pending and in-progress CRs:
· CRs not started (i.e., statuses = change identified, cost/ramifications defined, benefits defined, approved by customer, approved by company),
· CRs in progress (i.e., status release assigned; use the project's time reporting system to determine the actual effort spent to date for the release compared with total estimated effort of all CRs assigned to the release).
Effort and Cost Expended on Change Requests by System
Identify the number of CRs compared to previous time periods:
· by system,
· by total effort logged (use the project's time reporting data for actuals).
This report can also present monetary values instead of effort.
It is necessary to allocate costs to each system relative to effort.
Quarterly Reports
The following reports are generally appropriate for quarterly assessment of the maintenance process.
Change Requests Processed by System
Identify the number of CRs compared to previous time periods:
· by system,
· by source of change,
· by priority.
This report may indicate which systems need re-engineering.
Cost Benefit Analysis of Changes
Identify the number of pending CRs:
· by benefit class,
· by total benefits and total costs.
This report also shows backlog but can be used for longer term analysis of priorities.
Effort and Cost Expended on Change Requests by Stage/Activity
Identify the total effort expended on CRs:
· by stage/activity,
· by application system/sub-system.
This information is useful in determining where effort is being expended on systems development and helps improve estimating.
Delivery of Releases On-Time and Late Deliveries
Provide a chart showing the number of actual releases over the past year and the percentage of releases which were delivered ahead of schedule, on schedule, or late.
Requirements rarely stay unchanged. Change requests come from the clients (requesting added functionality, a new report, or a report in a different format, for example) or from the developers (infeasibility, difficulty in implementing, etc.).
Change request frequency can be used as a metric to assess the stability of the requirements and how many changes in requirements to expect during the later stages.
Many organizations have formal methods for requesting and incorporating changes in requirements. Change data can be easily extracted from these formal change approval procedures. The frequency of changes can also be plotted against time. For most projects, the frequency decreases with time. This is to be expected; most of the changes will occur early, when the requirements are being analyzed and understood. During the later phases, requests for changes should decrease.
For a project, if the change requests are not decreasing with time, it could mean that the requirements analysis has not been done properly. Frequency of change requests can also be used to "freeze" the requirements—when the frequency goes below an acceptable threshold, the requirements can be considered frozen and the design can proceed. The threshold has to be determined based on experience and historical data.
Scenario One: You just heard from marketing that a critical business requirement needs to change and be accounted for in the upcoming release. You need to know how this change will impact work downstream and how the system specification your engineers are working with will change. Immediately.
Scenario Two: Your QA team just found a critical bug in your most anticipated new feature and you’re two weeks away from launch. Do you ship with the known bug and hope to patch it later, or delay the launch? Will this impact your upcoming audit? You need to know who is working on this feature, who else needs to be notified and weigh in on the decision, and know what other aspects of the product may be impacted. Immediately.
These scenarios, and countless others like them, affect engineering teams every day. And as software, embedded systems and external sensors contribute to product complexity (not to mention the complications that arise when you’re trying to unify multiple teams that contribute to a product) there is no chance that manual processes and static documentation can scale to support accurate impact analysis and quick decision-making. Requirements may be recorded, but if they’re not in a system of action, in situations like those above, you cannot effectively manage.
Gartner highlights one of the main reasons companies struggle to achieve the benefits of traceability:
“The most widely adopted tools for requirements continue to be general document software such as Microsoft Office or Google Docs (40% to 50% of the market) due to cost, availability and familiarity. Yet these often lead to poorly managed requirements, thus eliminating and exceeding any cost benefit the tools themselves have. Requirements end up captured in a variety of documents and spreadsheets supplemented by post-it notes in unmanaged versions with no traceability or reuse. This creates a more costly user acceptance testing cycle, both in the time to execute as well as remediation of issues found late in the process, where they are far more costly to address.”
— Gartner Market Guide for Software Requirements Definition and Management Solutions 2014
Software and hardware teams have to work together, in tight collaboration, which is difficult when they use different tools, use different terminology, and work in different cadences with difference methodologies. All details such as marketing requirements, functional requirements, test cases and other items that define the scope of what you’re building are related in some fashion, either directly or indirectly. Best practices for requirements traceability in complex products requires methods and tools that connect requirements to the upstream and downstream artifacts and testing, with verifiable coverage to prove compliance with internal controls and external regulations.
Your organization can adopt these four best practices around modern requirements management and requirements traceability to ensure product quality, decrease time-to-market and achieve regulatory compliance.
1. Connect stakeholders and contributors to the requirements they care about to ensure the right people can weigh in on important decisions at the right time.
Traceable relationships are as much about connecting the people as they are about connecting the requirements themselves. Each requirement in the system has members of the team associated with it—analysts, architects, development, verification and quality assurance among them—and stakeholders and customers who care about its status. With connected relationships built into your project you can quickly get interested parties involved in decision-making on short notice.
2. Automate bi-directional requirements traceability to minimize risk and ensure quality.
Manually updating an old-style traceability matrix is not only cumbersome and time consuming, it leaves open the risk for human error. In the development of safety-critical products like medical devices and airplanes, this risk isn’t acceptable. And it’s difficult to prove to an auditor that you got it right.
Key to managing requirements traceability is the ability to view source requirements and their related items downstream to lower-level requirements and then back to the source, and know the status of those items at each step of the product development process. And because this data may be stored in multiple systems, it’s key to be able to connect tools via open APIs and automatically pull data into a single actionable system with visualized coverage of these trace relationships.
3. Connect data, conversations and decisions in a single system in the product development process.
Being able to visualize coverage of trace relationships is imperative. But what happens when you find a gap, or a test is failing? The ability to confer and collaborate with the people connected to the requirement right in the system allows you to capture decisions and actions and keep that information associated with the requirement. Down the road, if you need to revisit decisions, all data is stored and easy to find.
With this managers can, for example, verify that their requirements are connected to downstream test cases and see what percentage of those tests have passed. In a system of action, every test case has a comment and activity stream accessible to all users. Testers and contributors can capture decisions, answer questions and resolve issues transparently and responsively.
4. Conduct formal reviews in compliance with internal controls or industry regulations with built-in reporting.
In the case of proving compliance with a set of rules and regulations you need to show your requirements, their traceable connections to test plans, and verification that all test have passed. Using a requirements management tool that has built-in formal reviews and reporting for auditors makes this process less cumbersome and more reliable.
Summary
The main goal of the requirements phase is to produce the software requirements specification (SRS), which accurately captures the client's requirements and which forms the basis of software development and validation.
The basic reason for the difficulty in specifying software requirements comes from the fact that there are three interested parties—the client, the end users, and the software developer. The requirements document has to be such that the client and users can understand it easily and the developers can use it as a basis for software development. Due to the diverse parties involved in software requirements specification, a communication gap exists. This makes the task of requirements specification difficult. There are three basic activities in the requirements phase. The first is problem or requirement analysis. The goal of this activity is to understand such different aspects as the requirements of the problem, its context, and how it fits within the client's organization. The second activity is requirements specification, during which the understood problem is specified or written, producing the SRS. And the third activity is requirements validation, which is done to ensure that the requirements specified in the SRS are indeed what is desired.
There are three main approaches to analysis; unstructured approaches rely on interaction between the analyst, customer, and user to reveal all the requirements (which are then documented). The second is the modeling-oriented approach, in which a model of the problem is built based on the available information. The model is useful in determining if the understanding is correct and in ensuring that all the requirements have been determined.
Modeling may be function-oriented or object-oriented. The third approach is the prototyping approach in which a prototype is built to validate the correctness and completeness of requirements. To satisfy its goals, an SRS should possess characteristics like completeness, consistency, unambiguous, verifiable, modifiable, etc. A good SRS should specify all the functions the software needs to support, performance of the system, the design constraints that exist, and all the external interfaces.
One method for specifying the functional specifications that has become popular is the use case approach. With this approach the functionality of the system is specified through use cases, with each use case specifying the behavior of the system when a user interacts with it for achieving some goal. Each use case contains a normal scenario, as well as many exceptional scenarios, thereby providing the complete behavior of the system. Though use cases are meant for specification, as they are natural and story-like, by expressing them at different levels of abstraction they can also be used for problem analysis.
For validation, the most commonly used method is reviewing or inspecting the requirements. In requirements inspections, the team of reviewers also includes a representative of the client to ensure that all requirements are captured.
The main metric of interest for requirements is some quantification of system size, as it can be used to estimate the effort requirement of the project. The most commonly used size metric for requirements is the function points. The function point metric attempts to quantify the functionality of the system in terms of five parameters and their complexity levels which can be determined from the requirements of the system. Based on the count of these five parameters for different complexity levels, and the value of fourteen different environmental factors, the function point count for a system is obtained. The function point metric can be used for estimating the cost of the system.
1.Is it possible to have a system that can automatically verify completeness of an SRS document? Explain your answer.
2.Construct an example of an inconsistent (incomplete) SRS.
3.How can you specify the "maintainability" and "user friendliness" of a software system in quantitative terms?
4.For a complete and unambiguous response time requirement, the environmental factors on which the response time depends must be specified. Which factors should be considered, and what units should be chosen to specify them?
5.The basic goal of the requirements activity is to get an SRS that has some desirable properties. What is the role of modeling in developing such an SRS? List three major benefits that modeling provides, along with justifications, for achieving the basic goal.
6. Make a friend of yours as the client. Perform structured analysis and object-oriented analysis for the following:
(a) An electronic mail system.
(b) A simple student registration system.
(c) A system to analyze a person's diet.
(d) A system to manage recipes for a household.
(e) A system to fill tax forms for the current year tax laws.
7.Write the SRS for the restaurant example whose analysis is shown in the chapter.
8. Write the functional requirements for the restaurant example using use cases.
9. Develop a worksheet for calculating the function point for a given problem specification.
10.Compute the function points for the restaurant example (can use the worksheet).

v1.0.0
queue_classic is a PostgreSQL-backed queueing library that is focused on concurrent job locking, minimizing database load & providing a simple & intuitive user experience.
queue_classic features:
1.Theory found here: http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~shanir/nir-pubs-web/Papers/Lock_Free.pdf
I wrote queue_classic to solve a production problem. My problem was that I needed a queueing system that wouldn't fall over should I decide to press it nor should it freak out if I attached 100 workers to it. However, my problem didn't warrant adding an additional service. I was already using PostgreSQL to manage my application's data, why not use PostgreSQL to pass some messages? PostgreSQL was already handling thousands of reads and writes per second anyways. Why not add 35 more reads/writes per second to my established performance metric?
queue_classic handles over 3,000,000 jobs per day. It does this on Heroku's Ronin Database.
See doc/installation.md for Rails instructions
$ createdb queue_classic_test
$ psql queue_classic_test
psql=# CREATE TABLE queue_classic_jobs (id serial, details text, locked_at timestamp);
psql=# CREATE INDEX queue_classic_jobs_id_idx ON queue_classic_jobs (id);
$ export QC_DATABASE_URL="postgres://username:password@localhost/queue_classic_test"
$ gem install queue_classic
$ ruby -r queue_classic -e "QC::Database.new.load_functions"
$ ruby -r queue_classic -e "QC.enqueue('Kernel.puts', 'hello world')"
$ ruby -r queue_classic -e "QC::Worker.new.start"
# Enable logging.
$VERBOSE
# Specifies the database that queue_classic will rely upon.
$QC_DATABASE_URL || $DATABASE_URL
# Fuzzy-FIFO
# For strict FIFO set to 1. Otherwise, worker will
# attempt to lock a job in this top region.
# Default: 9
$QC_TOP_BOUND
# If you want your worker to fork a new
# child process for each job, set this var to 'true'
# Default: false
$QC_FORK_WORKER
# The worker uses an exp backoff algorithm
# if you want high throughput don't use Kernel.sleep
# use LISTEN/NOTIFY sleep. When set to true, the worker's
# sleep will be preempted by insertion into the queue.
# Default: false
$QC_LISTENING_WORKER
# The worker uses an exp backoff algorithm. The base of
# the exponent is 2. This var determines the max power of the
# exp.
# Default: 5 which implies max sleep time of 2^(5-1) => 16 seconds
$QC_MAX_LOCK_ATTEMPTS
# This var is important for consumers of the queue.
# If you have configured many queues, this var will
# instruct the worker to bind to a particular queue.
# Default: queue_classic_jobs --which is the default queue table.

IUL Multi-Generational
Interested in expanding your client base by targeting 3 different age demographics? For many individuals, two of the primary concerns in retirement planning are stock market volatility and taxation, and IUL can help overcome both. Stock market downturns in recent years have sparked real concern about the negative impact future volatility could have on retirement assets. In addition, all indicators point towards an increase in taxes, meaning the fully taxed IRA and 401(k)s, may not get the job done when it comes to helping secure a retirement income that will last as long as retirees live.
The opportunity to set up a source to supplement income in retirement that has the ability to be accessed “TAX FREE” is becoming more and more attractive, opening up a whole new marketing demographic for your business, while also expanding the conversation to potentially manage your clients entire portfolio.
Target 3 different demographics!
- Young Professionals (Ages 45 and Younger).
- Pre-Retirees (Ages 45-60).
- Baby Boomers (ages 55-70).
Average direct mail response rates range between 0.75 – 1.00% per 5000 mailers.
This turn-key sales and marketing system includes:
- Scripted seminar presentations (Specifically Targeted for Each Age Demographic).
- Proven Effective Seminar invitations (Min. 5000 pc).
- IUL Illustration Software/Selling Tool- Takes a complex IUL illustration and transforms it into a meaningful, easy-to-understand proposal.
- Seminar Handouts.
- Reservation Service (up to 100 people).


I made this demo 10 years ago when the browser landscape was pretty different.
If I was going to do this today, I'd just use a video format that supports alpha, which currently means HEVC for Safari, and VP9 elsewhere. Here's a good article on the subject
You might still go for a solution like this if you want to support old IE, but in that case you'd be better off using webgl to do the image processing.

Thank You very Much For Purchesing From Us


My Dear, I am MRS GRACE KOPI from Ivory Coast. I am a widow being that I lost my husband a couple of months ago. My husband was a serving director of the Cocoa exporting board until his death. He was assassinated on August 2003 by the rebels following the political uprising. Before his death he deposited the sum of $14.5M fourteen Million five hundred thousand USD in a private security Company in Europe which was for the importation of cocoa processing machines. Note, according to my late husband the money is in a trunk box and he did not disclose to the security company the real content of the box he did it to reduce the cost of demurrage fees and for the safety of the fund according to him, he declared to the security company that the box contains a family valuables. I want you to do me a favour, to help me invest this fund in a profitable investment in your country as I do not have any knowledge of investment, that will be after we retrieve it from the security company. For your efforts, you shall either choose to receive 25% of the total fund or go into equal partnership investment with me in your country. My interest is in areas, like real estate and industrial production. This is my reason for writing to you. Please if you are willing to assist me and my only son Francoise, indicate your interest in replying soonest. E-email<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>) Thanks and best regards . Mrs.GRACE KOPI


News Stories
Mesolithic shale pendant
An engraved shale pendant was found during the 2015 excavations at Star Carr. Engraved motifs on Mesolithic pendants are extremely rare, and this object is the earliest example of art yet found in Britain.
Click the links to read news articles about the pendant.
The earliest house in Britain
In 2008 we excavated what has become known as the earliest house in Britain. We only have the remains of a structure with a hollow in the ground that would have been filled with plant materials (perhaps to keep the floor warmer) and maybe even covered with furs or hides. Around the outside of the hollow was a set of postholes—posts would have been placed in shallow holes and something similar to a teepee would have erected.
Size of a Mesolithic settlement
We now know that our ancient hunter gatherer ancestors were not nomadic but built houses and built settlements some of which, like Star Carr, appear to be much larger than previously imagined.
Preserved in peat
As one of the most important Mesolithic sites in Europe, the peat-filled depths of Star Carr, near Scarborough, have revealed a host of sensational archaeological finds.
European grant
Winning a European grant has enabled the Star Carr team to carry out further excavations in order to learn more about this important site. But time is running out as the peat deposits continue to degrade.
Understanding Mesolithic Settlement and Environments
Probably the best known is the site of Star Carr in North Yorkshire, where excavation, supported by Historic England, is ongoing. We have also commissioned projects to map the potential for stratified Mesolithic sites on the wetland/dryland edge in a number of key locations.

Codehaus XFire
DocumentationQuicklinksDevelopers
Sponsors |
This section outlines how to use the XFire proxy classes. This makes it easy to reuse your existing service classes and invoke your service. If you need to invoke someone else's service, check out the Client and Server Stub Generation from WSDL and Dynamic Client sections. If you are using Spring, please check out the information relating to clients in Spring Remoting. First you need to create a Service like you do on your server. This provides the metadata about how the service is structured: Service serviceModel = new ObjectServiceFactory().create(YourService.class);
Next, you'll need to create a proxy for your service: YourService service = (YourService) new XFireProxyFactory().create(serviceModel, "http://your/remote/url"); And its as simple as that! Please note that YourService should be an interface and not a class that implements that interface. Using non-default configurationsIf you have a services.xml that specificies non-default fields you may need to supply those to the ObjectServiceFactory. For instance take this service definition: <service> <serviceClass>YourService</serviceClass> <name>SuperService</name> <namespace>urn:your:namespace</namespace> </service> This would translate into: Service serviceModel = new ObjectServiceFactory().create(YourService.class, "SuperService", "urn:your:namespace", null); YourService client = (YourService) new XFireProxyFactory().create(serviceModel, "http://your/remote/url"); Or to take another example. Say you are using JSR 181 annotations: Service serviceModel = new AnnotationServiceFactory().create(YourService.class); YourService client = (YourService) new XFireProxyFactory().create(serviceModel, "http://your/remote/url"); Or try mixing annotations with JSR 181: Service serviceModel = new AnnotationServiceFactory( new Jsr181WebAnnotations(), XFireFactory.newInstance().getXFire().getTransportManager(), new AegisBindingProvider(new JaxbTypeRegistry())).create(YourService.class); Using Proxies with the local transportOne additional step is needed if you're using XFire's local transport. You need to pass in the XFire instance you're using so the server and the client both have access to the same LocalTransport. XFire xfire = XFireFactory.newInstance().getXFire(); XFireProxyFactory factory = new XFireProxyFactory(xfire); YourService service = (YourService) factory.create(serviceModel, "xfire.local://YourService"); Often you'll want to do this in unit tests. If you are extending one of XFire's unit tests you can arrang it like so: public class MyTest extends AbstractXFireAegisTest { public void setUp() throws Exception { super.setUp(); // register service... } public void testClient() { XFireProxyFactory factory = new XFireProxyFactory(getXFire()); YourService service = (YourService) factory.create(getServiceRegistry().getService("YourService"), "xfire.local://YourService"); } } HTTP with basic authentication but without JSR-181If you're using XFire with HTTP and you use basic authentication, the following snippet of code will allow you to access a SOAP service as a client (for example in a unit test). Service serviceModel = new ObjectServiceFactory().create(SoapTestImpl.class); SoapTest soapTest = (SoapTest) new XFireProxyFactory().create(serviceModel, "http://localhost:8181/soap/soap/SoapTestImpl"); Client client = Client.getInstance(soapTest); client.setProperty(Channel.USERNAME, "test"); client.setProperty(Channel.PASSWORD, "test"); You should now be able to invoke methods on 'soapTest'. import java.lang.reflect.Proxy
otherwise Proxy.getInvocationHandler won't work. HTTP with basic authentication and JSR-181If you're using XFire with HTTP and you use basic authentication, the following snippet of code will allow you to access a SOAP service as a client (for example in a unit test). This piece of code uses JSR-181 style annotations. Service serviceModel = new AnnotationServiceFactory(new Jsr181WebAnnotations(), XFireFactory.newInstance().getXFire().getTransportManager()).create(SoapTestImpl.class); SoapTest soapTest = (SoapTest) new XFireProxyFactory().create(serviceModel, "http://localhost:8181/soap/soap/SoapTestImpl"); Client client = Client.getInstance(m_soapTest)).getClient(); client.setProperty(Channel.USERNAME, "test"); client.setProperty(Channel.PASSWORD, "test"); You should now be able to invoke methods on 'soapTest'. Configuring HTTP client propertiesYou can modify behaviour of HTTP client by specifying your own HttpClientParams object: HttpClientParams params = new HttpClientParams(); // Configure client params here Client client = Client.getInstance(m_soapTest); client.setProperty(CommonsHttpMessageSender.HTTP_CLIENT_PARAMS, params); client.setProperty(CommonsHttpMessageSender.HTTP_TIMEOUT, "300"); client.setProperty(CommonsHttpMessageSender.DISABLE_KEEP_ALIVE, "true"); client.setProperty(CommonsHttpMessageSender.DISABLE_EXPECT_CONTINUE, "true"); client.setProperty(CommonsHttpMessageSender.HTTP_PROXY_HOST, "MY_PROXY_ADDRESS"); client.setProperty(CommonsHttpMessageSender.HTTP_PROXY_PORT, "MY_PROXY_PORT");; Note: for other properties of Client object check Transports section of User Guide |
