A little over a year ago, we blogged about jugyokenkyu, or "lesson study", a bucket of practices that Japanese teachers use to hone their craft, from observing each other at work to discussing the lesson afterward to studying curriculum materials with colleagues. Getting the Software Carpentry Foundation up and running almost immediately pushed that aside, but now that the SCF is up and running, it's time to return to the subject. Discussion of how teaching practices are transferred is part of that; so are two other developments this week.
First, Victor Eijkhout has been thinking about how to teach MPI. In particular, he has been thinking about how the order in which concepts are usually introduced can mislead or confuse, and about a different order that leads more naturally to proficient use. We're not going to include MPI in Software Carpentry any time soon (if ever), but I hope that the next major revision of our lessons will include this kind of design rationale.
Second, Azalee Bostroem surveyed people who have taught our current Python lesson to find out what they're actually doing and how it has been going. 46 people responded, almost all of them instructors, and the results are fascinating. Here are some of the key findings, and my comments:
Here, "novice" means "someone who has never programmed before". (The survey defined "intermediate" as someone who had in a language other than Python, and "advanced" as someone who had already used Python.) When we re-design this lesson, we could well wind up creating different versions for these audiences, since someone who's learning Python as a second language will be able to move faster and farther than someone who is new to ideas like "variable", "list", and "function".
Related to this, 70% of respondents said that they carefully explained each part of the first episode of the Python lesson, which is another indication that we need to warm up rather than diving straight in.
Which means we need to cut material as well as telling instructors how far people usually get. (We've asked in the past for people to report times for lessons, but returns have been slim.)
Based on a handful of conversations, I think people use older material because (a) they stick to whatever lesson they first taught, and/or (b) they don't like the NumPy-early approach of the current lesson. I don't know what we can do about (a), but our "Python as a first language" lesson should start with simpler tasks.
I (reluctantly) agree, at least for people who are learning programming for the first time. As with testing, there's no point putting scarce classroom or maintenance time into something that doesn't stick.
I was surprised by that, but I now wonder if it explains why it takes so long to get through material with novices. On the one hand, the notebook is more like the graphical user interfaces they are used to. On the other hand, it's different in many ways as well, which means they could be facing the double cognitive load of a new programming language and a new kind of editing interface. As in the debate over whether phonics or whole language is the best way to teach children to read, what we need is a proper, unbiased study.
The biggest lesson in all of this is that being able to pool our experiences is the second-greatest benefit of teaching in the large. (The greatest is having someone who can genuinely sympathize when something has gone wrong...) It would take even our most active instructors several years to learn this much about our lessons; comparing notes can help us all improve faster.
We would like even more data: if you have taught Python for us and have three minutes to spare, please fill in the survey. And if you can give us half an hour, we'd be grateful for help sorting and summarizing the comments we've had on our Python lessons in debriefing sessions—please get in touch if you can spare some time.

Version control is a system that saves and logs changes made to your files. With version control, you are able to revert back to a previous working edit at any time in case you do something horribly wrong. Each save-point is known as a commit.
Git helps you keep track of changes by keeping a log of the commits you have made. This is done by typing "git log" in the command line interface (CLI, or Terminal in OSX). With git, you are also able to save different versions of the master copy to a branch copy; which you can name it to be whatever you want it to be.
GitHub is an online destination for all your code. Here, you can share your code with developers around the world, and have them contribute to your code. You can also work on someone else's project. Using GitHub, you are able to "push" your local git files to your online profile at GitHub. Your profile is where you can view which repositories (or folders) you have.

This is an implementation of the default map zooming. It basically just states that you should always zoom to fit the points (whenever a redraw on the map is requested) and it calculates a zoom region that has a very tiny amount of padding around the points
See moreDeclaration
Swift
open class DefaultMapZoom: ZoomDefining
-
This class is used to generate statistics about your track. Please note, this is a trivial implementation for ascent / descent detection. This implementation does not (currently) do any sort of noise reduction or utilize the vertical accuracy of the data to remove potentially erronious points. It might make sense (down the roade) to abstract a protocol from this and have multiple implementations to choose from that perform noise reduction or some sort of statistical smoothing to clean up the data for accuracy.

Swift
public class GeoTrackEvent
-
This class provides you an easy way to visualize your track on a map. You can configure the unknown, ascent and descent colors. They have sensible defaults. Using the UIGeoTrack model, you can set which legs of your track are visible and we’ll render them accordingly. Keep in mind, performance of this control may degrade if your tracks have too many points.

Our Story
When Arnold Nelson arrived in Tacoma, Washington as a child, he was determined to set out on his own and create his own business, just as his grandfather had done fifty years ago. After working for several years in his youth at a local drugstore, Arnold decided to create his own ice cream shop serving fun and new creations that could bring joy to the local people. His first store location opened in 1945, and has grown over the years to six different locations in the Seattle area.
Arnold's first employees were his younger brother and sister, and from the first day we opened, we've always seen our employees as family. That's why we're proud to provide great benefits for our employees, including paid time off to volunteer in our communities. We also donate 5% of our profits to supporting veterans in the Seattle area. Our community is of vital importance to us and we're proud to do our part to support it.
Come Check Us Out
Even in these uncertain times, our doors are open! We have outdoor seating available for all our guests. Otherwise, we also deliver via Doordash pints of our classic flavors.
Face coverings are required at all our locations, and we are taking special precautions to keep all of our customers and associates as safe as possible.


How shoppers braved the winds and rain to visit Newcastle's shops and Christmas market
Shoppers wrapped up warm as thousands did their Christmas shopping in the city centre despite the wind and rain
by Lisa HutchinsonThousand of Christmas shoppers braved the weather as winds and rain swept the region.
The Met Office put out a yellow weather warning covering the North East, which is in place until midnight on Saturday. But it didn't dampen shoppers' festive spirits.
As maximum temperatures reached just 9°C, it didn’t stop consumers from wrapping up warm to head out.
The rain began in the early hours of the morning with experts saying it could cause potential flooding to homes and businesses, power cuts and travel disruption.
The warning affects areas in the region including Newcastle , Northumberland, Durham, Gateshead, North Tyneside and South Tyneside.

And our ChronicleLive photographer was out snapping those who had descended on the shops and Christmas market in Newcastle.
Drivers were also stuck in long queues to get to the city centre car parks before heading out to stock up for the festive season.
Although umbrellas were up, the wet weather didn't stop cash from crossing the tills.
The bleak weather is set to continue tonight with the Met Office saying: “Wet and somewhat breezy to start the night, but the rain will clear with winds easing. This will leave a cloudy and misty night with drizzle and fog on hills. Minimum temperature 5 °C.”
While Sunday’s weather is “a misty and cloudy day with some outbreaks of drizzle, and fog mainly on hills. Isolated cloud breaks may give some limited brighter spells. Maximum temperature 10°C.”
Next week looks a little better with brighter spells as showers and winds lighten.
The Met Office says the outlook for Monday to Wednesday is “breezy Monday, with morning rain clearing to scattered showers. Tuesday probably brighter with some showers and light winds. Further wind and rain early Wednesday clearing to scattered showers once again.”

2020 Toyota Camry AWD Sedan Unveiled With 205 Horsepower
by Surendhar MToyota Camry AWD and Avalon AWD sedans use Dynamic Torque Control system that can also be found in the RAV4
While the mainstream manufacturers are switching their focus towards sports utility vehicles and crossovers with different body styles, Toyota sticks to its guns of traditional sedans amidst trying to expand its SUV portfolio. As ever, Toyota believes on its wide customer base, as the retention rate has always been high.
The Camry and Avalon are two of the top-selling sedans in the United States and the former was responsible for garnering just over 2,85,000 units and the latter about 24,208 units in the year-to-date basis despite noticeable sales slowdown. In a hope to leverage its buyer base, the Japanese manufacturer has announced AWD variants of both the sedans.
The all-wheel-drive system will enable consumers to use the sedans for off-roading without opting for the Highlander or RAV4, although the practicality factor won’t be as good. The configuration won’t be a fully-blown All-Trac as in the older generation Camry and is retailed on the 2020 model year version of the premium sedan.
Instead, Toyota has developed this system in-house and labelled it as Dynamic Torque Control AWD. It is also employed in the RAV4 exclusively for the United States market. It works in a way that the half of the total power produces will be sent to the rear wheels when needed.
To improve fuel economy, the electromagnetically controlled coupling disengages the propeller shaft from the differential unit. The all-wheel-drive system is coupled with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, good enough to develop a maximum power output of 202 hp. It is connected to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The Camry XSE and Avalon XLE variants pump out 3 more horses. The addition of AWD has increased the kerb weight by 75 kilograms but the bootspace and occupant space are not affected. The Camry AWD and Avalon AWD are available to buy from Spring 2020 and fall season onwards.

Securing Access for Different Actors
In past, to secure access we would have created a before filter for each controller and specified the action - however, this can become cumbersome depending on the size of the app.
Instead, we can have our Admin::TodoController < AdminsController and have AdminsController < ApplicationController, moving our before filter from Admin::TodoController to AdminsContollers
class AdminController < ApplicationController
before_filter :ensure_admin
def ensure_admin
flash[:error] = 'You don't have access to this"
redirect_to root_path unless current_user.admin?
end
end
AuthenticatedController
We can even take things one step further by creating an AuthenticatedController that can superclass the TodosController and AdminsController.
We need to ensure the user is logged in first:
#app/controllers/authenticated_controller.rb
class AuthenticatedController < ApplicationController
before_filter :ensure_sign_in
end
Actor-Specific Controllers
It's very common to have several types to actors within an application and features specific to the public. To manage this, it's best to have actor-specfic controllers and then subclass one another. This allows you to compartentalize actions for actors easily.
05 Jun 2015
Actors
Actors are different types of users, most likely referred to as admins, becasue they act differently within your application.
In some instances, you could:
def index
if current_user.admin?
Todo.all
else ....
end
But dependeing on the size, this could be quite cumbersome.
Another alternative, is we can create a seperate action:
def admin_index
@todos = Todo.all
end
The advatange is that everything the admin can do is seperate from the other actors. But this is also cumbersome b/c if we have multiple actors, before each action, we have to check the users role.
Namespace
So instead, we are going to work with Namespaces.
#routes.rb
resources :todos, only: [:index, :create, :new, :show]
namespace :admin do
resources :todos, only: [:index]
end
The above route would give us:
http://localhost:3000/admin/todos
So, therefore your controller would be in app/controllers/admin/todoscontroller, rather than app/controllers/todoscontroller
Add when created, our class name is prefixed with the module Admin
class Admin::TodosController < ApplicationController
end
We also need to run a migration to add the admin column to the users table
rails g migration add_admin_to_users
class AddAdminToUsers < ActiveRecord::Migration
def change
add_column :users, :admin, :boolean
end
end
Our viewv template in this case would be in:
app/views/admin/index.html.haml
This layout allows us to add things like an admin dashboard

Continuous Delivery
Excerpt from Tealeaf:
Continuous Delivery (CD) or sometimes known as Continuous Deployment goes one step beyond CI to automatically deploy features when the new code passes the continuous integration phase. Continuous Delivery encourages small and incremental software updates over big and infrequent releases to shorten the feedback loop and fix bugs earlier.
Let's look at an example development workflow that has both CI and CD enabled, based on the Github Flow process:
** we pull the latest code from Github
** we create a new feature branch and develop a new feature
** after we finish the feature, we push it to a branch with the same name on Github
** we create a PR from this branch to the staging branch.
** we wait for the the CI server to ensure all tests pass.
** we allow the CI server to automatically deploy the code from the staging branch to our staging server
** we perform sanity tests on our staging server
** we create a PR from the staging branch to the master branch on Github
** this will trigger another round of integration and if it passes, the CI server will automatically deploy the code to the production server.
If adopted by everyone in the development team, this process will make sure our master branch is always in sync with the production server and new features are also always build on top of what's on the production server.
Assignment: Set up Continuous Delivery with Circle CI
For this assignment, you are going to enable Continuous Delivery with Circle CI.
Here are the steps:
create a staging branch locally if you don't have it yet.
in Circle CI, follow Project settings for your project and select Heroku Deployment under Continuous Deployment
configure the Heroku API key. (Get it from your Heroku account page)
associate Heroku SSH key with your Circle account so Circle can have the authority to deploy to Heroku on your behalf.
create a circle.yml file in your projects root directory and make sure your adjust productionappname & stagingappname to your own app name.
Here is an example of a circle.yml file that you can use:
machine:
ruby:
version: 2.1.5
deployment:
production:
branch: master
commands:
- heroku maintenance:on --app production_app_name
- heroku pg:backups capture --app production_app_name
- git push git@heroku.com:production_app_name.git $CIRCLE_SHA1:refs/heads/master
- heroku run rake db:migrate --app production_app_name
- heroku maintenance:off --app production_app_name
staging:
branch: staging
commands:
- heroku maintenance:on --app staging_app_name
- git push git@heroku.com:staging_app_name.git $CIRCLE_SHA1:refs/heads/master
- heroku run rake db:migrate --app staging_app_name
- heroku maintenance:off --app staging_app_name
Note: you should change the Ruby version to the version you're using for this project.
This code should be pretty self explanatory - this allows Circle to monitor your staging branch and deploy to the staging server, and monitor your master branch to deploy to the production server. It'll run migrations for you and for the production server, it also automatically backs up the database before a deploy.
Notifications Options
By default we will be notified by email on every status change of our builds. But receiving emails all the time build fails or passes might be cumbersome and there are also good alternatives.
For Mac users - there is a free application CCMenu by ThoughtWorks which we install and it will stick to our upper bar. In order to make it fully run - we will need to generate a CircleCI API key (Project settings -> API keys) and http address of build. See the setup info guide here. Great feature of this app is that it can play sounds based on build's status and we are able to customize it to our needs.
Another great feature most CIs offer are Embedded Status Badges. These are especially useful for open source projects. They look nice in README.md usually placed in GitHub repo page giving out the information about build being successful or not.

Continuous Integration
According to Martin Fowler's blog, Continuous Integration is
Continuous Integration is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently, usually each person integrates at least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible. Many teams find that this approach leads to significantly reduced integration problems and allows a team to develop cohesive software more rapidly. This article is a quick overview of Continuous Integration summarizing the technique and its current usage.
According to Tealeaf...
The problem that CI solves is to force integration on a regular basis. For example, you may have just finished a feature on my_feature branch and have had all the tests pass locally. You open a PR and your fellow coworkers are happy with the way the code looks. Github shows the PR can be automatically merged without conflict - so you do that, merge it back to the master branch and ready to deploy the feature!
The danger of this workflow is that while you are working on your feature, someone else could have just finished their feature and pushed to the master branch to Github, and your new feature never integrated with this new piece of code.
A Continuous Integration solution would watch your repository and force integration (running the entire test suite on the CI server) whenever necessary.
Once we have our CI server set up to monitor our repository, it'll pull the latest code and run the entire test suite every time we push code to any branch on Github (when you work with a CI server, you want to make sure that every push should always make the tests pass) and notify you on the results. The CI server also runs every time we merge our pull request to the master branch to ensure integration.
CI server helps us catch integration errors before they reach to production, and the earlier we catch errors, the less costly we can fix them.
A CI solution doesn't eliminate the necessity to run your tests locally - your will lose friends quickly if you constantly push code that "breaks the build" and have everyone notified. However, in cases of long running test suites, it is acceptable to run only the tests pertaining to the new feature built, and have the CI server to run the entire test suite to catch any potential regression. Most modern CI services allow you to run the tests in parallel (with a paid plan, typically) so it could run your tests several times faster.
Circle CI
Set Up Continuous Integration with Circle CI
Circle CI is a popular Continuous Integration service. Set up your project with Circle CI is pretty simple - link and authorize your Github account, then add the repository that you want to enable CI. By default, Circle CI runs on every push and PR merge.


Concentration of GPI-anchored proteins upon ER exit in yeast.
Abstract
Previous biochemical work has revealed two parallel routes of exit from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, one seemingly specific for glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. Using the coat protein II (COPII) mutant sec31-1, we visualized ER exit sites (ERES) and identified three distinct ERES populations in vivo. One contains glycosylated pro-alpha-factor, the second contains the GPI-anchored proteins Cwp2p, Ccw14p and Tos6p and the third is enriched with the hexose transporter, Hxt1p. Concentration of GPI-anchored proteins prior to budding requires anchor remodeling, and Hxt1p incorporation into ERES requires the COPII components Sec12p and Sec16p. Additionally, we have found that GPI-anchored protein ER exit is controlled by the p24 family member Emp24p, whereas ER export of most transmembrane proteins requires the Cornichon homologue Erv14p.

The day after the hunt for Eliza was a very sad one in Uncle Tom's cabin. It was the day on which Haley was going to take Uncle Tom away.
Aunt Chloe had been up very early. She had washed and ironed all Tom's clothes, and packed his trunk neatly. Now she was cooking the breakfast,—the last breakfast she would ever cook for her dear husband. Her eyes were quite red and swollen with crying, and the tears kept running down her cheeks all the time.
'It's the last time,' said Tom sadly.
Aunt Chloe could not answer.
'S'pose we must be resigned. But, O Lord, how can I? If I knew anything where you was goin', or how they'd treat you! Missis says she'll try and buy you back again in a year or two. But, Lor', nobody never comes back that goes down there.'
'There'll be the same God there, Chloe, that there is here.'
'Well,' said Aunt Chloe, 's'pose dere will. But the Lord lets drefful things happen sometimes. I don't seem to get no comfort dat way.'
'Let's think on our mercies,' said Tom, in a shaking voice.
'Mercies!' said Aunt Chloe, 'don't see any mercies in 't. It isn't right! it isn't right it should be so! Mas'r never ought to have left it so that ye could be took for his debts. Mebbe he can't help himself now, but I feel it's wrong. Nothing can beat that out of me. Such a faithful crittur as ye've been, reckonin' on him more than your own wife and chil'en.'
'Chloe! now, if ye love me, you won't talk so, when it is perhaps jest the last time we'll ever have together,' said Tom.
'Wall, anyway, there's wrong about it somewhere,' said Aunt Chloe, 'I can't jest make out where 'tis. But there is wrong somewhere, I'm sure of that.'
 But the little children, who hardly understood what was happening, enjoyed theirs. It was not often that they had such a fine one as Chloe had cooked for Tom's last morning at home.
Breakfast was just finished, when Mrs. Shelby came. Chloe was not very pleased to see her. She was angry, and blamed her for letting Tom be sold.
But Mrs. Shelby did not seem to see Aunt Chloe's angry looks. 'Tom,' she said, turning to him, 'I come to—' she could say no more, she was crying so bitterly.
Then all Aunt Chloe's anger faded away.
'Lor', now missis, don't—don't,' she said. She too burst out crying again, and for a few minutes they all sobbed together.
'Tom,' said Mrs. Shelby at last, 'I can't do anything for you now. But I promise you, most solemnly, to save as much money as I can. As soon as I have enough, I will buy you back again.'
Just then Haley arrived. Tom said a last sad good-bye to his wife and children, and got into the cart, which Haley had brought with him.
As soon as Tom was seated in the cart, Haley took a heavy chain, and fastened it round his ankles. Poor Tom had done nothing wrong, yet he was treated worse than a thief, just because he was a slave.
'You don't need to do that,' said Mrs. Shelby, 'Tom won't run away.'
'Don't know so much about that, ma'am; I've lost one already. I can't afford to run any more risks,' replied Haley.
'Please give my love to Mas'r George,' said Tom, looking round sadly. 'Tell him how sorry I am he is not at home to say good-bye.'
Master George was Mr. and Mrs. Shelby's son. He was very fond of Tom, and was teaching him to write. He often used to come and have tea in Uncle Tom's little cottage. Aunt Chloe used to make her very nicest cakes when Mas'r George came to tea. But he was not at home now, and did not know that Tom had been sold.
Haley whipped up the horse, and, with a last sad look at the old place, Tom was whirled away.

Visualize reading progress with small and simple jQuery plugin. Adjust style with CSS or SCSS. Never worry about window resizing. HTML5 progress element support. Setup with one line of JavaScript.
$(window).load(function () { $.scrollIndicator(); });
This will add progress bar to the top of your page.
Remember to include scrollindicator.jquery.js
or it's minified version in your project, as well as css style.
You can choose parent element for scroll bar:
$("#elementbyid").scrollIndicator();
In this case it will be helpful to include custom style. Without setting target element in this way, it will be attatched to $("body")
element. (See basic example).
$.scrollIndicator({delay: 333, bindResize: false});
Pass options object on initialization.
Time in miliseconds between interaction (ex. scroll or resize event) and plugin update.
Default: 100

Default: false
Support for IE8 and IE9 browsers. Always true
if HTML5 version is turned off.
Default: true
Re-calculate values on window.resize
event.
Default: true
React to changes in DOM model. Not recommended.
Default: false
$("#element").data('scrollIndicator').reload();
This will re-calculate slider value. Useful for sites with dynamic content. For now there is only that one useful public method is available.


Slaughter Day: Part 2, Eviscerating and Splitting Pigs
by Matt
In the my previous post, the first in this series, I sought to provide a detailed description of the process for humanely slaughtering, scalding, and scraping a hog. In the current post, I will endeavor to describe the next steps involved in processing pigs, covering evisceration and splitting the carcass, after which point the hog can be further broken down into primal cuts. I will discuss butchering (i.e., working from primal cuts to “retail” cuts), sausage-making, curing, smoking, and otherwise processing the pork in further posts.
From where we left off at the end of the first post, our pig was hanging away from the scalding vat on the second engine hoist, where it had been weighed on a hanging spring scale. Its head should now be facing down and almost touching the ground. We typically put an old shipping pallet between the ground and the hanging carcass to keep it off of what has usually become at this point a muddych, due to water dripping from the vat and the carcass, as well as heavy foot traffic.
We remove the head from the body before beginning the evisceration. To do this, we cut around the perimeter of the neck where it meets the shoulder with a long, sharp knife. This usually takes a few tries before all of the flesh is severed. Next, take the head in both hands, holding around the ears, and snap the head briskly. This should crack the neck and separate the head from the carcass. It may take a few tries and a little clean-up work with the knife to completely sever the head. We set it aside after separating it from the carcass and put it in a cooler on ice.
At this point, the pig can be lowered to a comfortable working height where we can begin the process of evisceration by cutting a wide swath of flesh just beneath the pig’s tail and encircling the anus by a comfortable working margin. The goal here is to cut away the end of the intestinal tract from the surrounding flesh so that it may be tied off and then removed in one piece when the abdominal cavity has been cut open. It is very important to avoid severing the intestines while making this cut.
Consequences of nicking or cutting the intestine range from a stinky and unpleasant job of continuing the disembowelment to the potentially serious fecal contamination of the meat. If the intestine is cut, the carcass can be thoroughly hosed out after splitting (a good practice, and one that we follow, in any case). When the rectum has been cut away from the surrounding flesh on all sides, it is important to securely tie it closed with a piece of twine. With this done, it’s time to begin cutting through the abdominal cavity.
Lightly score the skin on the underside of the carcass starting from the point where the intestine has been cut out and tied off downward through the centerline of the abdomen and through to the sternum (breastbone). Using the score mark as a guide, cut through the flesh between the anus and the pelvic girdle. The pelvic girdle is the first bony mass you will encounter working towards the head; it should be carefully split with a hatchet, meat cleaver or bone saw. We prefer to use the bone saw, working the saw as close to the lines of the knife cut as possible (not pushing the saw into the abdominal cavity, if possible).
If the hog is a male, the urethra will appear beneath the skin soon after cutting through the pelvic girdle.
With the pelvic girdle split, we cut through the center of the belly with a knife. To do this without risking a cut to the intestines or organs, some technique is required: Hold a knife blade with the tip facing down (in the direction of travel towards the pig’s neck with the blade just inside the skin of the abdominal cavity). With the other hand inside the abdominal cavity between the knife and the internal organs, cup or shield the tip and blade of the knife so that neither will accidentally cut into anything besides the layer of skin, the only thing between you and the knife blade at this point. The action of pushing the knife down the carcass while angled slightly outward facing toward you is a little like unzipping a jacket where the knife is the zipper. If you have a knife with a guthook and are familiar with its use in field dressing an animal in a hunting context, this is the same idea, and a guthook could be used here.
When the abdominal cavity has been cut open down to the breastbone, split the breastbone with a hatchet, cleaver, or bone saw. We prefer the bone saw, though it can be a challenge to make this cut with the saw with the pig in a hanging position.
At any point in this process, the pig’s innards may begin to spill out. We typically place a large plastic tub or “gut bucket” on the pallet near the carcass. This serves as a receptacle in which to place the intestines and organs as the abdominal cavity is opened up. To remove them completely, reach into the carcass and tear away the connective tissue that holds the intestines and organs to the inside of the pelvis, ribs, and chest, beginning with the tied-off end of the intestines and working downward to the stomach, liver, gall bladder, spleen, and kidneys. Avoid puncturing the liver and gall bladder when removing them. Next, remove the heart, lungs, and esophagus. When you have finished removing viscera, the abdominal cavity of the pig will appear smooth and relatively clean.
The organs of the pig can and should be saved for later use. They can be washed off and iced down to be processed after the pig is split. The liver can be eaten cooked, in pate, or ground into an emulsion to make liverwurst. The kidneys can be served fried in butter and seasoned with salt and pepper (as memorably eaten for breakfast by Leopold Bloom in Joyce’s Ullyses) or baked along with beef steak in the traditional British dish of steak and kidney pie. Intestines can be cleaned out and later used for sausage casings. Some also enjoy eating the heart, though the heart and lungs, when we have saved them in the past, have usually ended up as dog food.
Almost every part of the pig, including the blood, can be eaten cooked or prepared as sausage filling.  In practice though, the intestines and some of the organs tend to end up buried underground due to limited fridge and freezer space and the general rush to process three (or more) pigs in an always too narrow window of time.
Before splitting the carcass, we prefer to remove the tenderloins or “fish,” as they are otherwise known. These two cylindrical, tapering cuts of pork are prized by many above all others, but they can be easily damaged by a bone saw during the process of sawing the carcass in half. They are located within the abdominal cavity towards the middle-back of the pig. These can be removed with a knife or torn away from the carcass. We usually divide these up amongst our team of volunteers as a thank-you gift for their help with the slaughter.
Splitting the carcass from bottom to top through the spine is one of the most labor-intensive parts of the slaughter and entails the use of a manual bone saw or an electric power saw of some variety. In past years, we have attempted to use an electric reciprocating saw (or sawzall) to split the carcass, though this proved difficult to control and somewhat damaging to the meat cuts. In general, I prefer the upper-body workout of using a manually operated bone saw, though an electric jigsaw did come into play cutting through one particularly stubborn section of bone during this year’s slaughter.
To split the carcass, we first score the hide on the back of the hog. This creates a visual reference point for helpers to follow the track of the saw and thus warn the cutter if the saw is straying from the center. We begin by sawing through the middle of the spine where it terminates near the tail. The carcass, since it is hanging, will tend to pull and bind the blade of the saw in one direction or the other, and the cut we made through which we eviscerated (and through which the saw must travel) will close up, if not forcefully held open. For this reason, I like to have a helper on each side holding open the walls of the abdominal cavity, either with boning hooks or bare hands. This gives me room to work and adequate light to judge whether or not the saw is on the right track through the center of the spine.
The intensity of labor involved in cutting through the spine and back varies, as it is thicker and bonier in certain spots, though it generally takes at least a few minutes and a few pauses to realign the saw blade as it veers off center. The precision with which the pig is split is a point of pride for me, though really it is a relatively minor detail that slightly impacts the overall quality of bone-in pork chops and ribs if done poorly; ultimately, however, these are not particularly important cuts for us. While we do like our barbecued ribs, it is country ham, bacon, and sausage that hold the main attraction for us.
With the length of the backbone sawn in half from top to bottom, both sides of pork will separate. As the carcass comes apart, each helper should keep hold of their side, as these will tend to rock back and forth, hanging as they are from the rear leg on a see-sawing gambrel. Depending on the weight of the pig at slaughter, each side may still be quite heavy, well over 100 pounds, usually. It’s definitely a good idea to have at least two people on hand to handle or move each side of pork. Halving or splitting the pork carcass is typically the culmination of the day’s process for each particular pig until the meat has had time to cool overnight from body temperature to ambient temperature.
Warm meat is much harder to cut and work with than cold or almost frozen meat. Furthermore, cuts such as bacon and hams won’t absorb curing agents until they have cooled significantly. Before nightfall we hang each side close to our house and securely out of reach of predators. The next morning, after the outside temperature has dropped significantly, the pork will be much easier to work with, when we will break it down into primal cuts and then further into so-called “retail” cuts, the ones most cooks are familiar with, a topic to be covered in the next post in this series.

'3BlackChicks Review...'
SAVING GRACE (2000) Rated R; running time 93 minutes Genre: Comedy IMDB site: http://us.imdb.com/Details?0195234 Official site: http://www.saving-grace-movie.com/ Written by: Mark Crowdy, Craig Ferguson Directed by: Nigel Cole Cast: Brenda Blethyn, Craig Ferguson, Martin Clunes, Valerie Edmond, Tcheky Karyo, Phyllida Law, Jamie Forman, Bill Bailey, Tristan Sturrock, Clive Merrison, Leslie Phillips, Diana Quick, Linda Kerr Scott, Ken Campbell
Review Copyright Rose Cooper, 2000 Review URL: http://www.3blackchicks.com/bamssavegrace.html
When one speaks of The War On [some] drugs, at least here in the Un-tied States, pictures of burnt-out crackhouses, doped-up kids, ghetto drive-bys, and dealers dripping in gold, (stereo)typically come to mind. Rarely does one conjure up a picture of a quaint little old lady Doing What She Has To to get by.
SAVING GRACE conjures up that very picture, in its Veddy British way. And as a lifetime Uhmerkin gal who grew up in a Uhmerkin Innercity (Detroit), I had quite a time reconciling its images with those images we're shown every night at 6 and 11 on this side of the Pond.
The Story (WARNING: **spoilers contained below**): In a small coastal town in Merry Olde England, Grace Trevethen (Brenda Blethyn), a recent widow and avid horticulturist, discovers to her horror that not only was her philandering husband screwing around behind her back with another woman, he also had some Shady Dealings that left her in serious debt. With the threat of her home being taken away from her, Grace turns to her former Scot yardsman Matthew (Craig Ferguson) for advice. Matthew, who partakes of Demon Weed on a regular basis with local doc Dr. Bamford (Martin Clues), helps Grace hatch the idea to take some of Matthew's dying marijuana plants and sell them. That's right: sweet middle-aged Grace will become a [gasp] drug dealer!
With Grace now reduced to "having" to sling dope to make ends meet, can Hilarity still Ensue?
The Upshot: The first thing you should know about SAVING GRACE is that, at least by American standards, it's fairly absurd. Maybe I live a Sheltered Life, but within *my* circles at least, had The Whole Town known I was doing what Matthew and Grace were doing, I dare say that neither of us would be doing it for long; between that cop taking us in toot sweet, or the neighbors stealing our brightly-lit stash, I have no doubt that here in near-suburban Podunkville, the chances that we'd have a Grace in our backyard are slim-to-none. And yes, that _is_ considering the fact that there are plenty of corrupt cops, and known dopehouses, to go around.
You should also know that it's a given that British Humor is somewhat...drier...than what's commonly seen on TV tubes and theater screens here in the States. "Benny Hill" and "Monty Python" aside, I've found Brit Humor to be interesting, but a lot more subdued, than the general Laugh Out Loudedness that permeates so many American comedy flicks these days. Not that that's A Bad Thing per se; it's just different.
All those caveats aside, the folks involved with SAVING GRACE looked like they were having a bowl...er, a ball. Though this movie stretched the limits of my Disbelief at times, the major players involved with it were quite pleasing to watch (one of the best things being that they looked like people that'd live in such a place; no teased hair and spoiled-brat acting on these actors' parts, no siree!) and root for. Which raises Yet Another interesting question: is it kosher to root for these - let's call a spade a spade, shall we? - for these drug dealers? Is it ok to do so - as long as the person slinging the dope isn't your everyday ghetto dweller (and only doing it because she "has to" - unlike those ghetto dwellers, who must so obviously enjoy the fringe benefits of living a life of crime that they don't follow their True Calling in life)? See, maybe it's Just Me, but I can't quite get around the hypocrisy of the whole situation, especially in an era where (in *this* country, anyway), there's little sympathy shown for people that do exactly that: sell dope because, in their minds at least, they _have_ to. Makes it kinda hard to laugh at someone doing it to keep a 300-year-old house, you know?
Maybe the humor is in the cute way that Grace takes her first drag, to experience what it is she's selling, for her edification. Maybe there's humor in the Upstanding Town Ladies getting high from mistaking cannabis leaves, for tea leaves. Maybe the cuddly doc-as-dopehead is humorous. They all are, humorous, really; the townspeople were folks I wouldn't mind having as neighbors, the doctor could teach his American colleagues a thing or two about how to work with their patients, and there's something quite cozy about a town staying up each night to watch your greenhouse light up like a bottle rocket. And maybe SAVING GRACE is on the same continuum as, say, a Cheech And Chong flick. No? Alright then: if not, *why not*, hmmm? Hey, I'm willing to listen; tell me the difference, at base, between Grace lighting up, Cheech (or Chong) lighting up, and Shaniqua From The Projects lighting up. I'm all ears.
Anyway...the performances in "Grace" were all solid, even though near the end the story started to get less and less credible. The scenery was beautiful, the actors comfortable in their roles, and the writing was fairly tight (though I found myself lost at times, trying to compare British/metric measures to the ones we silly Yanks use. Hey, it never caught on here; sue me). As Grace, Brenda Blethyn mixed humor and pathos quite well, and presented the audience with a performance that puts some of our best and brightest young movie stars, to shame; given her storyline, she could've easily stunk up the screen, and it is to her credit that she was able to cultivate what might have been a pathetic character, into what ended up as a beautiful blossom. The same could be said about much of the rest of the cast, especially Martin Clunes as the dopey doc; and when his character uttered the line (paraphrased) "Why is marijuana illegal, yet the drug alcohol, is not?", I wanted to shout "preach, brudda!"
On the whole, the movie was enjoyable enough, and in a perfect world, that would be all that needed to be said. My problem is that the ongoing War On [some] Drugs here in the New World, made SAVING GRACE lose a little something in the translation.
The "Black Factor" [ObDisclaimer: We Are Not A Monolith]: A quick recap, first: in my review of COYOTE UGLY a few weeks back, I mentioned a game called "Spot The Spot", and suggested that interested readers contact me by email to find out what the game was about. "Spot the Spot" is a pasttime The Diva and a friend hipped me to (and that I wasn't very comfortable with at first). The idea apparently came from watching too many Woody Allen movies; you know, the ones where he's in deeply-urban Manhattan, yet there's no Black or Brown folks to be found? As most of you who emailed me guessed, "Spot The Spot" is a game where you note the Black or Brown token in a movie, the one that you *know* was put there for Inclusion's sake. In "Coyote", it was the Black guy abstractedly dancing with the White woman at wazzername's friend's wedding (and no, Tyra Banks didn't qualify as Spot. Three guesses as to why - and the first two are wrong).
Another example, relevant to this weekend's movies: while watching SAVING GRACE yesterday, I noticed Spot (in the form of an offensive-looking - to me - and rather large, "pickaninny"-type doll in one scene) primarily because there were no Blacks in the movie at all, up until then. Thing is, though, it was _natural_ for there to have been no Blacks in that movie's setting, so Spot *was* out of place (and particularly so in that scene. For the life of me, I don't know why that small town would have the Black equivalent of an Indian Chief Cigar Stand in its window). Contrast this with the other movie I saw yesterday: Whipped. This was a movie that took place in New York City, where I'd fully expect to see an abundance of not only Black folk, but all kinds of Ethnic People. Yet, it wasn't until one of the last scenes that I saw Spot, in the form of one of Mia's girlfriends. In full neck-twisting mode.
I don't know whether to be (more) offended by "Grace"'s version of Spot, or "Whipped"'s .
Bammer's Bottom Line: Yes, it's just jokes, I know. Yes, British Humor is an acquired taste. And yes, everything doesn't have to be about race and the assumptions one makes based upon who is holding the joint at the time. But my mind keeps jumping back to this question, which I'd like to hear an honest answer to: in America, at least, given our attitudes about The War On [some] Drugs, and our (mis)perceptions and prejudices about who is a criminal and who isn't, how different a movie would this have been if the little old lady in question, wasn't a little old _White_ lady?
Never mind; I already know the answer to that one. Time to call a truce on this hypocritical War, I say.
SAVING GRACE (rating: flashing yellowlight): You don't have to be high to enjoy this flick - but being English might help.

VSCode is an incredible editor tool. Thanks to its extensions, one can develop using plenty of programming languages. However, what about analyzing one software system using VSCode?
In this blog post, I will present you how to use VSCode with Moose to analyze Java code. As an example, I will reproduce the blog post of Christopher Fuhrman.
Even if we can perform some analysis from VSCode, using the Moose tool natively gives a better user experience. Still, I believe it might interest people using only the VSCode tool.
- Install VSCode and the Pharo Language Server extension
- Set up the analysis of a new project
- Analysis
- Resources
Install VSCode and the Pharo Language Server extension
Download and install the required tools
To perform the analysis, we will use the insider version of VSCode. Currently, only this version supports the NoteBook feature we will use.
So, as a first step, install the last VSCode insider version.
We will also need a Moose image and a Pharo VM. For this blog post, we will use a Moose 8 image based on Pharo 8.
- Download the last Moose 8 image for VSCode and extract it.
- Download the corresponding Pharo VM and extract it.
Do not take the headless version (it has not been tested)
Once you have download VSCode, Moose 8, and the Pharo VM, we will install the extension in VSCode.
- Download the extension
- Open VSCode insider
- Open the folder in which the extension file is present
- Right-click on the file and execute
Install Extension
- Close VSCode
From now on, you must start VSCode insider with the following parameters (--enable-proposed-api badetitou.pharo-language-server
).
It allows VSCode to use the Notebook API.
Execute the following command in a terminal:
code-insiders --enable-proposed-api badetitou.pharo-language-server
Or in Windows:
code-insiders.cmd --enable-proposed-api badetitou.pharo-language-server
Configure VSCode
We now need to configure the Pharo Language Server extension. To do so:
- go in the VSCode settings (
Ctrl + ,
). - Search Pharo settings
- Set the field
Path To Image
with the path to the image you have downloadedD:\Users\benoit.verhaeghe\Documents\Pharo\images\LSP4\LSP4.image
- Set the field
Path To VM
with the path to the VM you have downloadedD:\Users\benoit.verhaeghe\Documents\Pharo\vms\80-x64\Pharo.exe
- Restart VSCode (to be sure the configuration is well saved)
If you use Windows, you might need to remove all space characters in the path.
Once the configuration is done, you can create a new file named oo-analysis.moosebook
.
It should open as a VSCode notebook and a Pharo image (you can reduce the Pharo image, but do not close it).
Set up the analysis of a new project
Clone the Java project you want to analyze
First, we are going to download the GitHub project we want to analyze.
To do so, create a new code cell
in VSCode with the following code:
javaProjectFileRef := MooseEasyUtility cloneGitHubRepo: 'https://github.com/bethrobson/Head-First-Design-Patterns'.
This piece of code will download the project under our Pharo image folder. To execute the cell, press the run arrow next to the cell. In case of success, a little tick appears and the path to the clone project has output of the cell.
Parse the Java code to make FAMIX model
As in the original blog post of Christopher, now we will parse the Java project and create a FAMIX model. To parse the Java project, we use VerveineJ v1.x.x (v1.x.x works with Moose 8, whereas v2.x.x is under modification to work with the future Moose 9).
Contrary to the original blog post, we will download VerveineJ v1.0.2 (and not v1.0.1). It includes nice fixes.
-
Create a new code cell with the following piece of code to download the last VerveineJ version and extract it
client := ZnClient new. client signalProgress: false; url: 'https://github.com/moosetechnology/VerveineJ/archive/v1.0.2.zip'; downloadTo: FileLocator imageDirectory. client isSuccess ifTrue: [ ZipArchive new readFrom: (FileLocator imageDirectory / 'v1.0.2.zip') asFileReference pathString ; extractAllTo: FileLocator imageDirectory. "Since permissions are not preserved with ZipArchive#extractAllTo:" "This line is not required in Windows system" LibC runCommand: 'chmod u+x ', (FileLocator imageDirectory / 'VerveineJ-1.0.1/verveinej.sh') asFileReference pathString ] ifFalse: [ Error signal: 'Download failed.' ]
-
Then, we will ask
MooseEasyFamixMaker
to parse the Java project using VerveineJ, and create a.mse
file for us. Again, in another cell, execute the following snippet of code.wizard := MooseEasyFamixMaker generateMSETo: 'tmp/HFDP.mse' asFileReference parsing: 'tmp/MooseEasyRepos/bethrobson__Head-First-Design-Patterns' asFileReference with: (FileLocator imageDirectory / 'VerveineJ-1.0.2/verveinej.bat') asFileReference. wizard generateMSE.
.mse
is a file format used by Moosetechnology to represent its model and meta-model. Other formats exist.
Load the model
The last step is to load the model in the Moose image (the one we are controlling using VSCode). In a new cell, execute:
mseFileRef := 'tmp/HFDP.mse' asFileReference. "Generated by FamixMaker"
mseStream := mseFileRef readStream.
mseStream
ifNotNil: [
mooseModel := MooseModel importFromMSEStream: mseStream.
mooseModel rootFolder:
'tmp/MooseEasyRepos/bethrobson__Head-First-Design-Patterns'.
mseStream close. ]
ifNil: [ self error:
'Could not load MSE file into Moose: ' , mseFileRef asString ].
mseStream.
mooseModel install
The output of the cell should be a MooseModel #HFDP(30946)
.
Congrats! You have set up everything. Now it is time to analyze the project
Analysis
Visualize a Java package in PlantUML
To visualize Java packages using PlantUML.
We first install the PlantUML connector of Pharo (PlantUMLPharoGizmo
).
To do so, simply create a new code cell with the installation script and execute it.
"Install PlantUMLPharo"
version := 'master'.
Metacello new
repository: 'github://fuhrmanator/PlantUMLPharoGizmo:' , version, '/src';
baseline: 'PUGizmo';
load.
Then, you can visualize the classes of a package by executing a Pharo Script.
attribute := true.
method := false.
inheritance := true.
aggregation := true.
createCheckBox := false.
preference := 'set namespaceSeparator ::' , String cr
, 'hide empty members' , String cr , 'scale 1' , String cr
, 'left to right direction' , String cr.
items := mooseModel allModelClasses select: [:each | each mooseName beginsWith: 'headfirst::designpatterns::combining::decorator' ].
pUMLSource := PUGizmo
plantUMLSourceForMooseJavaClasses: items
withPreference: preference
withRelationships:
{attribute.
method.
inheritance.
aggregation.
createCheckBox}.
plantKey := pUMLSource asPlantUMLKey.
serverUrl := 'https://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/img/', plantKey.
imageMorph := (ZnEasy getPng: serverUrl asUrl).
In the above example, as in the original blog post, we focus on the package: headfirst::designpatterns::combining::decorator
and we show the classes attributes, inheritances, and aggregation.
Executing the code gives the following image as the output of the VSCode cell.
Perform a Moose analysis using Pharo
It is also possible to execute some classic Pharo code. We can request the list of classes that implement more than one interface.
"Query all classes that have more than two direct FAMIX superclasses"
classesImplementingMoreThanOneInterface := mooseModel allModelClasses
select: [ :each |
each directSuperclasses size > 2 ].
String streamContents: [ :stream | classesImplementingMoreThanOneInterface do: [:class | stream << class name ] separatedBy: [stream << ', ' ] ]
Visualisation with Roassal
Finally, one can use Roassal2 (or Roassal3 in Pharo 9) to create custom visualization.
It is possible to use pre-built visualization coming from Moose, such as the System Nesting map:
view := RTView new.
FAMIXSystemNestingMap new
viewNamespaces: (mooseModel allNamespaces select: [ :each | each allClasses anySatisfy: [ :c | c isStub not ] ])
highlighting: {}
onRaw: view.
view
Or every other Roassal visualization!

Emmerdale SPOILERS: New romance lined up for Tracy Metcalfe
She deserves a happy ending...
by Helen FearTracy Metcalfe has had the year from hell in Emmerdale, so it's reassuring to know the ITV soap is lining up a new romance for the popular character.
Viewers know that her life was turned upside down in August when her dad Frank Clayton died in the factory fire.

As well as witnessing her beloved dad's death in the explosion, the shop assistant also blamed herself as her dad entered the burning building to save her.
He sacrificed himself for his youngest daughter, who had been hiding in a cupboard to meet lover Billy for a 'quickie'.
Tracy also discovered that Kerry Wyatt and her daughter Amy were to blame for starting the fire, but agreed to keep the secret quiet - for now.
Read more: Emmerdale SPOILERS: Marlon punches Graham
After a nightmarish few months dealing with the grief of losing her dad, Tracy is set for some happiness at last as scriptwriters give her a new romance in upcoming scenes - and some viewers have already noticed the bond between the pair.
Tracy will find herself attracted to handsome Pete towards the end of this year, whose ex-girlfriend Rhona Goskirk recently moved on with Graham Foster.
But Tracy's romance could well be short-lived as Pete is due to exit the show next year.
Anthony Quinlan, who has played Pete since 2013, recently announced he would be leaving the show, meaning that his fledging relationship with Tracy won't be long term.
Speaking to The Inside Soap Yearbook 2020, Amy said: "There's a flirtation going on between Tracy and Pete at the moment, so I'm hoping she'll get some kind of happiness there.
"I want her to find love, even if it's not with Pete.
"I'd love to work with Matthew [Wolfenden] again, but getting back with David isn't the right thing for Tracy. She's too good for him!"
Tracy and David split up last year, when he struggled to come to terms with her past as a prostitute.
Although she got pregnant with his baby after they split, she aborted it believing it to be for the best.
David later got together with Maya Stepney, and we all know how THAT ended!
Would you like to see Tracy get her happy ending? Let us know on our Facebook page @EntertaimentDailyFix .

1 During the year that King Uzziah died, Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision, I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone else. He was wearing a very long robe that covered the floor of the temple.
2 Above him were hovering several winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
3 They were calling to each other, saying,
"Yahweh, Commander of the angel armies, is holy;
he is completely holy!

 I will be destroyed because I have seen Yahweh, Commander of the angel armies!"
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
7 and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, "Look, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven."
8 Then I heard Yahweh asking, "Whom shall I send to be a messenger to my people? Who will go and speak for us?" I replied, "I am here. Send me!"
9 Then he said,
"You will go and say to the people of Israel,
'Listen carefully to what I say, but you will not understand it.
You will look very carefully,
but you will not understand.'
10 What you say will cause these people to become stubborn;
it will cause them not to be able to hear and see.
As a result, they will not see what I want them to see or hear what I want them to hear,
and they will not understand it with their inner beings,
and they will not turn to me
so I could save them and not punish them."
11 Then I said, "How long do you want me to continue to do that?"
He replied, "Do it until their cities are ruined by their enemies,
until no one is living in their houses,
do it until all the crops are stolen from their fields
and the fields are ruined.
12 Do it until I have exiled everyone far away,
and the whole land of Israel is deserted.
13 If even one tenth of the people survive and stay there,
their enemies will invade the land again and burn everything.
But just like when they cut down an oak tree and leave a stump, and new shoots grow from that,
the people who remain in this land will be a group that is set apart for me."

pnmnorm(1) pnmnorm(1) NAME pnmnorm - normalize the contrast in a Netbpm image SYNOPSIS pnmnorm [-bpercent N | -bvalue N] [-wpercent N | -wvalue N] [-keephues] [-brightmax] [ppmfile] All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. You may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option. You may use either white space or an equals sign between an option name and its value. DESCRIPTION Reads a PNM image (PBM, PGM, or PPM). Normalizes the contrast by forcing the lightest pixels to white, the darkest pixels to black, and linearly rescaling the ones in between; and produces the same kind of file as out‐ put. This is pretty useless for a PBM image. The program first determines a mapping of old brightness to new bright‐ ness. For each possible brightness of a pixel, the program determines a corresponding brightness for the output image. Then for each pixel in the image, the program computes a color which has the desired output brightness and puts that in the output. With a color image, it is not always possible to compute such a color and retain any semblance of the original hue, so the brightest and dimmest pixels may only approximate the desired brightness. Note that for a PPM image, this is different from separately normalizing the individual color components. OPTIONS By default, the darkest 2 percent of all pixels are mapped to black, and the lightest 1 percent are mapped to white. You can override these per‐ centages by using the -bpercent and -wpercent flags, or you can specify the exact pixel values to be mapped by using the -bvalue and -wvalue flags. Appropriate numbers for the flags can be gotten from the ppmhist tool. If you just want to enhance the contrast, then choose values at elbows in the histogram; e.g. if value 29 represents 3% of the image but value 30 represents 20%, choose 30 for bvalue. If you want to lighten the image, then set bvalue to 0 and just fiddle with wvalue; similarly, to darken the image, set wvalue to maxval and play with bvalue. The -keephues option says to keep each pixel the same hue as it is in the input; just adjust its intensity. By default, pnmnorm normalizes con‐ trast in each component independently (except that the meaning of the -wpercent and -bpercent options are based on the overall intensities of the colors, not each component taken separately). So if you have a color which is intensely red but dimly green, pnmnorm would make the red more intense and the green less intense, so you end up with a different hue than you started with. If you specify -keephues, pnmnorm would likely leave this pixel alone, since its overall intensity is medium. -keephues can cause clipping, because a certain color may be below a tar‐ get intensity while one of its components is saturated. Where that's the case, pnmnorm uses the maximum representable intensity for the saturated component and the pixel ends up with less overall intensity, and a dif‐ ferent hue, than it is supposed to have. This option is meaningless on grayscale images. Before March 2002, there was no -keephues option. The -brightmax option says to use the intensity of the most intense RGB component of a pixel as the pixel's brightness. By default, pnmnorm uses the luminosity of the color as its brightness. This option is meaningless on grayscale images. Before March 2002, there was no -brightmax option.
