_GNU_SOURCE && _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64
DESCRIPTION
The
getrlimit()
and
setrlimit()
system calls get and set resource limits respectively.
Each resource has an associated soft and hard limit, as defined by the
rlimit
structure:
struct rlimit {
rlim_t rlim_cur; /* Soft limit */
rlim_t rlim_max; /* Hard limit (ceiling for rlim_cur) */
};
The soft limit is the value that the kernel enforces for the
corresponding resource.
The hard limit acts as a ceiling for the soft limit:
an unprivileged process may set only its soft limit to a value in the
range from 0 up to the hard limit, and (irreversibly) lower its hard limit.
A privileged process (under Linux: one with the
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
capability) may make arbitrary changes to either limit value.
The value
RLIM_INFINITY
denotes no limit on a resource (both in the structure returned by
getrlimit()
and in the structure passed to
setrlimit()).
The
resource
argument must be one of:
- RLIMIT_AS
-
The maximum size of the process's virtual memory (address space) in bytes.
This limit affects calls to
brk(2),
mmap(2),
and
mremap(2),
which fail with the error
ENOMEM
upon exceeding this limit.
Also automatic stack expansion will fail
(and generate a
SIGSEGV
that kills the process if no alternate stack
has been made available via
sigaltstack(2)).
Since the value is a long, on machines with a 32-bit long
either this limit is at most 2 GiB, or this resource is unlimited.
- RLIMIT_CORE
-
Maximum size of a
core
file (see
core(5)).
When 0 no core dump files are created.
When nonzero, larger dumps are truncated to this size.
- RLIMIT_CPU
-
CPU time limit in seconds.
When the process reaches the soft limit, it is sent a
SIGXCPU
signal.
The default action for this signal is to terminate the process.
However, the signal can be caught, and the handler can return control to
the main program.
If the process continues to consume CPU time, it will be sent
SIGXCPU
once per second until the hard limit is reached, at which time
it is sent
SIGKILL.
(This latter point describes Linux behavior.
Implementations vary in how they treat processes which continue to
consume CPU time after reaching the soft limit.
Portable applications that need to catch this signal should
perform an orderly termination upon first receipt of
SIGXCPU.)
- RLIMIT_DATA
-
The maximum size of the process's data segment (initialized data,
uninitialized data, and heap).
This limit affects calls to
brk(2)
and
sbrk(2),
which fail with the error
ENOMEM
upon encountering the soft limit of this resource.
- RLIMIT_FSIZE
-
The maximum size of files that the process may create.
Attempts to extend a file beyond this limit result in delivery of a
SIGXFSZ
signal.
By default, this signal terminates a process, but a process can
catch this signal instead, in which case the relevant system call (e.g.,
write(2),
truncate(2))
fails with the error
EFBIG.
- RLIMIT_LOCKS (Early Linux 2.4 only)
-
A limit on the combined number of
flock(2)
locks and
fcntl(2)
leases that this process may establish.
- RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
-
The maximum number of bytes of memory that may be locked
into RAM.
In effect this limit is rounded down to the nearest multiple
of the system page size.
This limit affects
mlock(2)
and
mlockall(2)
and the
mmap(2)
MAP_LOCKED
operation.
Since Linux 2.6.9 it also affects the
shmctl(2)
SHM_LOCK
operation, where it sets a maximum on the total bytes in
shared memory segments (see
shmget(2))
that may be locked by the real user ID of the calling process.
The
shmctl(2)
SHM_LOCK
locks are accounted for separately from the per-process memory
locks established by
mlock(2),
mlockall(2),
and
mmap(2)
MAP_LOCKED;
a process can lock bytes up to this limit in each of these
two categories.
In Linux kernels before 2.6.9, this limit controlled the amount of
memory that could be locked by a privileged process.
Since Linux 2.6.9, no limits are placed on the amount of memory
that a privileged process may lock, and this limit instead governs
the amount of memory that an unprivileged process may lock.
- RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE (since Linux 2.6.8)
-
Specifies the limit on the number of bytes that can be allocated
for POSIX message queues for the real user ID of the calling process.
This limit is enforced for
mq_open(3).
Each message queue that the user creates counts (until it is removed)
against this limit according to the formula:
bytes = attr.mq_maxmsg * sizeof(struct msg_msg *) +
attr.mq_maxmsg * attr.mq_msgsize
where
attr
is the
mq_attr
structure specified as the fourth argument to
mq_open(3).
The first addend in the formula, which includes
sizeof(struct msg_msg *)
(4 bytes on Linux/i386), ensures that the user cannot
create an unlimited number of zero-length messages (such messages
nevertheless each consume some system memory for bookkeeping overhead).
- RLIMIT_NICE (since Linux 2.6.12, but see BUGS below)
-
Specifies a ceiling to which the process's nice value can be raised using
setpriority(2)
or
nice(2).
The actual ceiling for the nice value is calculated as
20 - rlim_cur.
(This strangeness occurs because negative numbers cannot be specified
as resource limit values, since they typically have special meanings.
For example,
RLIM_INFINITY
typically is the same as -1.)
- RLIMIT_NOFILE
-
Specifies a value one greater than the maximum file descriptor number
that can be opened by this process.
Attempts
(open(2),
pipe(2),
dup(2),
etc.)
to exceed this limit yield the error
EMFILE.
(Historically, this limit was named
RLIMIT_OFILE
on BSD.)
- RLIMIT_NPROC
-
The maximum number of processes (or, more precisely on Linux, threads)
that can be created for the real user ID of the calling process.
Upon encountering this limit,
fork(2)
fails with the error
EAGAIN.
This limit is not enforced for processes that have either the
CAP_SYS_ADMIN
or the
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
capability.
- RLIMIT_RSS
-
Specifies the limit (in pages) of the process's resident set
(the number of virtual pages resident in RAM).
This limit has effect only in Linux 2.4.x, x < 30, and there
affects only calls to
madvise(2)
specifying
MADV_WILLNEED.
- RLIMIT_RTPRIO (since Linux 2.6.12, but see BUGS)
-
Specifies a ceiling on the real-time priority that may be set for
this process using
sched_setscheduler(2)
and
sched_setparam(2).
- RLIMIT_RTTIME (since Linux 2.6.25)
-
Specifies a limit (in microseconds)
on the amount of CPU time that a process scheduled
under a real-time scheduling policy may consume without making a blocking
system call.
For the purpose of this limit,
each time a process makes a blocking system call,
the count of its consumed CPU time is reset to zero.
The CPU time count is not reset if the process continues trying to
use the CPU but is preempted, its time slice expires, or it calls
sched_yield(2).
Upon reaching the soft limit, the process is sent a
SIGXCPU
signal.
If the process catches or ignores this signal and
continues consuming CPU time, then
SIGXCPU
will be generated once each second until the hard limit is reached,
at which point the process is sent a
SIGKILL
signal.
The intended use of this limit is to stop a runaway
real-time process from locking up the system.
- RLIMIT_SIGPENDING (since Linux 2.6.8)
-
Specifies the limit on the number of signals
that may be queued for the real user ID of the calling process.
Both standard and real-time signals are counted for the purpose of
checking this limit.
However, the limit is enforced only for
sigqueue(3);
it is always possible to use
kill(2)
to queue one instance of any of the signals that are not already
queued to the process.
- RLIMIT_STACK
-
The maximum size of the process stack, in bytes.
Upon reaching this limit, a
SIGSEGV
signal is generated.
To handle this signal, a process must employ an alternate signal stack
(sigaltstack(2)).
Since Linux 2.6.23,
this limit also determines the amount of space used for the process's
command-line arguments and environment variables; for details, see
execve(2).
prlimit()
The Linux-specific
prlimit()
system call combines and extends the functionality of
setrlimit()
and
getrlimit().
It can be used to both set and get the resource limits of an arbitrary process.
The
resource
argument has the same meaning as for
setrlimit()
and
getrlimit().
If the
new_limit
argument is a not NULL, then the
rlimit
structure to which it points is used to set new values for
the soft and hard limits for
resource.
If the
old_limit
argument is a not NULL, then a successful call to
prlimit()
places the previous soft and hard limits for
resource
in the
rlimit
structure pointed to by
old_limit.
The
pid
argument specifies the ID of the process on which the call is to operate.
If
pid
is 0, then the call applies to the calling process.
To set or get the resources of a process other than itself,
the caller must have the
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
capability, or the
real, effective, and saved set user IDs of the target process
must match the real user ID of the caller
and
the real, effective, and saved set group IDs of the target process
must match the real group ID of the caller.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these system calls return 0.
On error, -1 is returned, and
errno
is set appropriately.
ERRORS
- EFAULT
-
A pointer argument points to a location
outside the accessible address space.
- EINVAL
-
The value specified in
resource
is not valid;
or, for
setrlimit()
or
prlimit():
rlim->rlim_cur
was greater than
rlim->rlim_max.
- EPERM
-
An unprivileged process tried to raise the hard limit; the
CAP_SYS_RESOURCE
capability is required to do this.
Or, the caller tried to increase the hard
RLIMIT_NOFILE
limit above the current kernel maximum
(NR_OPEN).
Or, the calling process did not have permission to set limits
for the process specified by
pid.
- ESRCH
-
Could not find a process with the ID specified in
pid.
VERSIONS
The
prlimit()
system call is available since Linux 2.6.36.
Library support is available since glibc 2.13.
CONFORMING TO
getrlimit(),
setrlimit():
SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
prlimit():
Linux-specific.
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
and
RLIMIT_NPROC
derive from BSD and are not specified in POSIX.1-2001;
they are present on the BSDs and Linux, but on few other implementations.
RLIMIT_RSS
derives from BSD and is not specified in POSIX.1-2001;
it is nevertheless present on most implementations.
RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE,
RLIMIT_NICE,
RLIMIT_RTPRIO,
RLIMIT_RTTIME,
and
RLIMIT_SIGPENDING
are Linux-specific.
NOTES
A child process created via
fork(2)
inherits its parent's resource limits.
Resource limits are preserved across
execve(2).
Lowering the soft limit for a resource below the process's
current consumption of that resource will succeed
(but will prevent the process from further increasing
its consumption of the resource).
One can set the resource limits of the shell using the built-in
ulimit
command
(limit
in
csh(1)).
The shell's resource limits are inherited by the processes that
it creates to execute commands.
Since Linux 2.6.24, the resource limits of any process can be inspected via
/proc/[pid]/limits;
see
proc(5).
Ancient systems provided a
vlimit()
function with a similar purpose to
setrlimit().
For backward compatibility, glibc also provides
vlimit().
All new applications should be written using
setrlimit().
C library/ kernel ABI differences
Since version 2.13, the glibc
getrlimit()
and
setrlimit()
wrapper functions no longer invoke the corresponding system calls,
but instead employ
prlimit(),
for the reasons described in BUGS.
BUGS
In older Linux kernels, the
SIGXCPU
and
SIGKILL
signals delivered when a process encountered the soft and hard
RLIMIT_CPU
limits were delivered one (CPU) second later than they should have been.
This was fixed in kernel 2.6.8.
In 2.6.x kernels before 2.6.17, a
RLIMIT_CPU
limit of 0 is wrongly treated as "no limit" (like
RLIM_INFINITY).
Since Linux 2.6.17, setting a limit of 0 does have an effect,
but is actually treated as a limit of 1 second.
A kernel bug means that
RLIMIT_RTPRIO
does not work in kernel 2.6.12; the problem is fixed in kernel 2.6.13.
In kernel 2.6.12, there was an off-by-one mismatch
between the priority ranges returned by
getpriority(2)
and
RLIMIT_NICE.
This had the effect that the actual ceiling for the nice value
was calculated as
19 - rlim_cur.
This was fixed in kernel 2.6.13.
Since Linux 2.6.12,
if a process reaches its soft
RLIMIT_CPU
limit and has a handler installed for
SIGXCPU,
then, in addition to invoking the signal handler,
the kernel increases the soft limit by one second.
This behavior repeats if the process continues to consume CPU time,
until the hard limit is reached,
at which point the process is killed.
Other implementations
do not change the
RLIMIT_CPU
soft limit in this manner,
and the Linux behavior is probably not standards conformant;
portable applications should avoid relying on this Linux-specific behavior.
The Linux-specific
RLIMIT_RTTIME
limit exhibits the same behavior when the soft limit is encountered.
Kernels before 2.4.22 did not diagnose the error
EINVAL
for
setrlimit()
when
rlim->rlim_cur
was greater than
rlim->rlim_max.
Representation of large resource limit values on 32-bit platforms
The glibc
getrlimit()
and
setrlimit()
wrapper functions use a 64-bit
rlim_t
data type, even on 32-bit platforms.
However, the
rlim_t
data type used in the
getrlimit()
and
setrlimit()
system calls is a (32-bit)
unsigned long.
Furthermore, in Linux versions before 2.6.36,
the kernel represents resource limits on 32-bit platforms as
unsigned long.
However, a 32-bit data type is not wide enough.
The most pertinent limit here is
RLIMIT_FSIZE,
which specifies the maximum size to which a file can grow:
to be useful, this limit must be represented using a type
that is as wide as the type used to
represent file offsets---that is, as wide as a 64-bit
off_t
(assuming a program compiled with
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64).
To work around this kernel limitation,
if a program tried to set a resource limit to a value larger than
can be represented in a 32-bit
unsigned long,
then the glibc
setrlimit()
wrapper function silently converted the limit value to
RLIM_INFINITY.
In other words, the requested resource limit setting was silently ignored.
This problem was addressed in Linux 2.6.36 with two principal changes:
- *
-
the addition of a new kernel representation of resource limits that
uses 64 bits, even on 32-bit platforms;
- *
-
the addition of the
prlimit()
system call, which employs 64-bit values for its resource limit arguments.
Since version 2.13,
glibc works around the limitations of the
getrlimit()
and
setrlimit()
system calls by implementing
setrlimit()
and
getrlimit()
as wrapper functions that call
prlimit().
EXAMPLE
The program below demonstrates the use of
prlimit().
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#define errExit(msg) do { perror(msg); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); \
} while (0)
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct rlimit old, new;
struct rlimit *newp;
pid_t pid;
if (!(argc == 2 || argc == 4)) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s <pid> [<new-soft-limit> "
"<new-hard-limit>]\n", argv[0]);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
pid = atoi(argv[1]); /* PID of target process */
newp = NULL;
if (argc == 4) {
new.rlim_cur = atoi(argv[2]);
new.rlim_max = atoi(argv[3]);
newp = &new;
}
/* Set CPU time limit of target process; retrieve and display
previous limit */
if (prlimit(pid, RLIMIT_CPU, newp, &old) == -1)
errExit("prlimit-1");
printf("Previous limits: soft=%lld; hard=%lld\n",
(long long) old.rlim_cur, (long long) old.rlim_max);
/* Retrieve and display new CPU time limit */
if (prlimit(pid, RLIMIT_CPU, NULL, &old) == -1)
errExit("prlimit-2");
printf("New limits: soft=%lld; hard=%lld\n",
(long long) old.rlim_cur, (long long) old.rlim_max);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

The 1922 silent masterpiece "Nosferatu," and its 1979 remake by Herzog are clearly the most lucid, atmospheric interpretations of the famous novel by Bram Stoker. There have been several remakes and sequels in their wake, so why keep remaking the oft-told story? We all know it by heart. Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" is a visual mess - an overblown, campy knock off of the legend. That's not to say that it isn't fun.
Coppola's "Dracula" starts off promisingly for the first half-hour complete with silhouettes, shadows, irises, beautiful if ostentatious imagery, and really fancy camera tricks, especially when we first visit Dracula's castle. Some of this represents of Coppola's best directorial work ever, but he screws up when he doesn't take the legend seriously.
The acting is uneven throughout. Gary Oldman ("J.F.K") plays Dracula fairly straight with an astonishing array of body movements and language (he's a bloodsucking, white-haired, venemous creature in the beginning) but his performance lacks passion and verve. Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker is merely incompetent and unbelievable in a period setting - he reminded me too much of his Bill and Ted antics. Sir Anthony Hopkins overacts to the hilt as Professor Van Helsing, and has a moment where he smells Mina's fragrance reminding one of Hannibal Lecter. Winona Ryder, however, steals the movie as Mina (Harker's sweetie), and she is appropriately passionate and sexy, especially in the love scenes.
As incredibly flawed as "Dracula" is, it somehow works in the big egostistical way that some of Coppola's lesser efforts have. At times resembling more of a horror spoof, it is extraordinarily well-made and the snowy climax at Drac's castle is terrific, suspenseful stuff. Unfortunately, dear old Francis leaves so little to the imagination and the gore is piled on scene after scene with none of the cold, chilling atmosphere of "Nosferatu" or Lugosi's "Dracula."
Over-the-top, overstuffed, overdone and undernourished in character details, "Dracula" is never boring and somehow fun in a crude way. This Count does not suck, but he occasionally does bite.

SETXKBMAP
Section: User Commands (1)Updated: setxkbmap 1.1.0
Index Return to Main Contents
NAME
setxkbmap - set the keyboard using the X Keyboard ExtensionSYNOPSIS
setxkbmap [ args ] [ layout [ variant [ option ... ] ] ]DESCRIPTION
The setxkbmap command maps the keyboard to use the layout determined by the options specified on the command line. An XKB keymap is constructed from a number of components which are compiled only as needed. The source for all of the components can be found in /usr/share/X11/xkb.OPTIONS
- -help
- Prints a message describing the valid input to setxkbmap.
- -compat name
- Specifies the name of the compatibility map component used to construct a keyboard layout.
- -config file
- Specifies the name of an XKB configuration file which describes the keyboard to be used.
- -device device
- Specifies the numeric device id of the input device to be updated with the new keyboard layout. If not specified, the core keyboard device of the X server is updated.
- -display display
- Specifies the display to be updated with the new keyboard layout.
- -geometry name
- Specifies the name of the geometry component used to construct a keyboard layout.
- -I directory
- Adds a directory to the list of directories to be used to search for specified layout or rules files.
- -keycodes name
- Specifies the name of the keycodes component used to construct a keyboard layout.
- -keymap name
- Specifies the name of the keymap description used to construct a keyboard layout.
- -layout name
- Specifies the name of the layout used to determine the components which make up the keyboard description. Only one layout may be specified on the command line.
- -model name
- Specifies the name of the keyboard model used to determine the components which make up the keyboard description. Only one model may be specified on the command line.
- -option name
- Specifies the name of an option to determine the components which make up the keyboard description; multiple options may be specified, one per -option flag. Note that setxkbmap adds options specified in the command line to the options that were set before (as saved in root window properties). If you want to replace all previously specified options, use the -option flag with an empty argument first.
- With this option the setxkbmap just prints component names in a format acceptable by xkbcomp (an XKB keymap compiler) and exits. The option can be used for tests instead of a verbose option and in cases when one needs to run both the setxkbmap and the xkbcomp in chain (see below).
- -rules file
- Specifies the name of the rules file used to resolve the requested layout and model to a set of component names.
- -symbols name
- Specifies the name of the symbols component used to construct a keyboard layout.
- -synch
- Force synchronization for X requests.
- -types name
- Specifies the name of the types component used to construct a keyboard layout.
- -variant name
- Specifies which variant of the keyboard layout should be used to determine the components which make up the keyboard description. Only one variant may be specified on the command line.
- -verbose|-v [level]
- Specifies level of verbosity in output messages. Valid levels range from 0 (least verbose) to 10 (most verbose). The default verbosity level is 5. If no level is specified, each -v or -verbose flag raises the level by 1.
USING WITH xkbcomp
If you have an Xserver and a client shell running on different computers and XKB configuration files on those machines are different you can get problems specifying a keyboard map by model, layout, options names. This is because setxkbcomp converts these names to names of XKB configuration files according to files that are on the client side computer, then it sends the file names to the server where the xkbcomp has to compose a complete keyboard map using files which the server has. Thus if the sets of files differ significantly the names that the setxkbmap generates can be unacceptable on the server side. You can solve this problem by running the xkbcomp on the client side too. With the -print option setxkbmap just prints the file names in an appropriate format to its stdout and this output can be piped directly to the xkbcomp input. For example, the commandsetxkbmap us -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY
makes both steps run on the same (client) machine and loads a keyboard map into the server.

Introduction
The Sagrada Familia is one of the most well-known landmarks in Spain. It is located in the city of Barcelona. It is a Roman Catholic Church designed by the famous Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudi. What makes it very notable is that while construction started in 1882, it has yet to be completed.
History
Contruction for the Sagrada Familia started in 1882, under the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. When he resigned, Antoni Gaudi took over. Gaudi's transformation of the original design was significant because he combined both gothic and art noveau designs. He worked on the project for the remainder of his life, until he died in an accident at the age of 73. He was so devoted to the project that his body is actually buried in the crypts. At the time of his death, the project was less than a quarter of the way complete.
Present Day
Contruction continues to this day and reached the halfway mark in 2010. It is anticipated that contruction will be finished by 2026, the 100 year anniversary of Gaudi's death. Modern day technologies have helped speed up the process, although many of the most challenging parts of the design have yet to be started. The monument was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated it and proclaimed it a minor basilica.
Controversy
The monument has been a topic of debate among much of the population of Barcelona. Some of the biggest concerns have been:
- If it will compete with Barcelona's main Cathedral
- That the work after Gaudi's death did not stick to his design
- The construction of an underground train that connects Spain and France, that could potentially disturb the stability

THE ADVENTURES OF ROCKY AND BULLWINKLE
Review by John Beachem
* * 1/2
Directed by: Des Mcanuff Written by: Ken Lonergan, Jay Ward (characters)
All right, I'm going to keep this plot summary pretty short because frankly there wasn't much of a plot to summarize. I guess that was the one part of the movie that was true to the television show. It's the new millenium, and Rocky and Bullwinkle are still trapped in reruns after 35 years, lamenting the loss of their forest. Meanwhile, Fearless Leader (Robert De Niro), Boris (Jason Alexander), and Natasha (Rene Russo) have escaped into the real world by signing a contract for a film deal. The film deal doesn't work because the producer doesn't like movies about moose. That hardly matters however, because Fearless Leader has hatched a plan to take over the United States by turning everyone into mindless vegetables through hypnotic television shows (not that anyone should notice the difference, someone points out). FBI Agent, Karen Sympathy (Piper Perabo), is assigned to stop the notorious trio by bringing Rocky and Bullwinkle out of reruns and into the real world. Things don't go quite as planned however, because Rocky can't seem to fly anymore, and Bullwinkle seems to have grown even dumber (assuming that's possible). Nevertheless, the three start a cross country journey to get to New York in time to stop Fearless Leader from convincing the entire United States to elect him president.
Well, Boris and Natasha may not have been able to stop Moose and Squirrel back in the '60s, but Des Mcanuff (who produced the wonderful "The Iron Giant") and Ken Lonergan (who wrote the hilarious "Analyze This") managed to stop them with this piece of tripe. Moose and Squi- sorry, Rocky and Bullwinkle were really quite amusing back in the old television series. The episodes were full of clever puns, witty comments about society, and amusing slapstick comedy involving Boris, Natasha, or Bullwinkle (okay, so I never found Rocky to be very funny).  Does this mean the movie is completely humorless? No, it just means that for every joke that works, ten don't. This also means that for every scene that works (like the courtroom scene, and there is one very funny line involving the explanation of where old cartoons go and gain followings), ten don't (the car trip to the college, the entire college scene, the ending sequence, and at least seven more), and this gets very tiresome after awhile.
"Rocky and Bullwinkle" does boast an amazing array of talent, led by the great De Niro himself and supported by Jason Alexander (Seinfeld) and Rene Russo ("The Thomas Crown Affair"). The problem is that these three great actors look quite embarrassed to be in this movie, and frankly, who can blame them? In the film's lead role we have Piper Perabo (who will soon be appearing in Jerry Bruckheimer's "Coyote Ugly"). I don't know where this girl came from, but she is one of the cutest things I have ever seen (it's just a shame she can't act). Keith Scott ("George of the Jungle") has taken over duties as Bullwinkle and the always funny narrator, and the change is barely noticeable. We are also granted a host of well known actors in useless cameos. We get Whoopi Goldberg as a judge, Kel Mitchell and Keenan Thompson as college buddies, Randy Quaid as the head of the FBI, John Goodman as a state trooper, and so on (Janeane Garolfalo, Carl Reiner, David Alan Grier, etc.). The list goes on forever, but all these cameos amount to just about nothing because they are all given no screen time. The only two who make any sort of impression are John Goodman (because he always makes an impression) and Janeane Garofalo (because she gets one of those rare semi-amusing scenes). It was actually quite sad to see such a talented cast wasted.
"Rocky and Bullwinkle" is guilty of one other massive travesty. One so unspeakably terrible I'm loathe to mention it. Sherman and Mr. Peabody aren't present anywhere in the movie. I'll give you a minute to let that soak in. I have to wonder how Ken Lonergan found a way to fit in so many celebrity cameos but didn't remember to stick the most beloved characters (in my opinion anyway) from the original television show. Okay, my rant is over, or as Mr. Peabody would say, "Quiet you." "Rocky and Bullwinkle" features a subdued, barely present soundtrack, which was actually a nice change from the recent obnoxiously loud soundtracks I've been hearing. One final note: despite the fact that there is more than a decade's difference between "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle", the former features more seamless interaction between the animated characters and the real ones. The movie runs only 88 minutes, but it felt like it should have ended at 60 or so. I'd recommend it only to people who adore animated/live action movies and give it two and a half out of five stars.

5 Trade partners
Some countries do not report trade. A country might not report trade (no imports and no exports), or no imports, or no exports. In these cases, we estimate their trade by applying what the reporters of the non-reporting country reported. For example, if Ecuador does not report export data we will estimate Ecuador’’s exports with the imports data reported by all countries where the partner was Ecuador. For this reason, the mirroring process is implemented when data from all reporting countries was processed (mapped, missing weights imputed, and validated), i.e. at the very end of the process.
The module generates the list of non-reporting countries: these are the countries present as partners but missing as reporters. For these countries the mirroring routine is applied: the corresponding trade of the non-reporting countries are extracted from the partners inverting the flows. The quantities are the same while the values are corrected by a factor of 12% due to the CIF/FOB conversion.
- Functions:
In Figure 5.1 is introduced the mirroring workflow. The tables that store the list of non-reporting and the list of donors are working in memory, i.e., there is no data saved on hard disk or in the SWS. They are considered as temporary tables. In the Mirroring Module, the user is able to check the quality of the mirroring through data visualization, aggregations by several levels and filters by commodity codes.
Figure 5.2 shows the buttons to check the non-reporting countries, the list of donor to be removed when some country reported data not reliable.
Figure 5.3 shows the options for data aggregation and also the time series of the commodity. The weigh, value, or unit value can be choosen to visualise the time series.
Figure 5.4 shows the editable table. In this stage, the user can adjust any data mirrored. For instance, the user can perform a manual intervention if he is not satisfied with estimates.
5.1 Scheda
Once the country to estimate, the flow, the year, and the list of potential donors has been selected, the tool should build the data by searching in the validated trade data for data where the country to estimate appears as a partner. Then the data will need to be transformed: partner becomes est_reporter, reporter becomes donor, and flow becomes reporter_flow. This newly created data will need to be mapped. Two situations exist:
- The combination est_reporter, reporter_flow, donor_code, donor_tariff_line exists in the Partnership map table then the est_reporter_scheda, and the isscfc_code are reused and the end_year is updated in the trade map.
- The combination est_reporter, reporter_flow, donor_code, donor_tariff_line does not exist in the Partnership map table. A new record needs is added in the Partnership map, using the mapping information from the donor (donor_tariff_line, donor_scheda, donor_isscfc_code, donor_isscfc_id) and a new est_reporter_scheda is generated. The startyear and endyear of this new mapping in the Parternship map table is equal to the year selected at the beginning of the mirroring process.


About me
I am a 30-something year old data scientist working on genomics (next-generation sequencing) at the R&D site of a large medical tech company in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. I received my PhD in statistics from UC Berkeley in 2010 and my B.S degree in Cybernetics (Specialization in Bioinformatics) and Applied Mathematics at UCLA in 2004. I grew up in Southern California and am now living in Chapel Hill, NC.
Questions that I get asked sometimes:
Why did you move to North Carolina?
Ask my husband who happens to be a top-notch academic (probabilist) in the Statistics and Operations Research Department at UNC Chapel Hill.
Are you Chinese?
Why yes I am. Although please don’t just start speaking to me quickly in Mandarin. I am Chinese American; my parents immigrated to LA from Hong Kong in the 70s - I speak very poor Cantonese and can’t write. =P
Do you have any siblings?
Yep, I have one awesome younger brother, Calvin Tong, who works at Symantec in Los Angeles and lives next to the beach(!)
Do you own 100 or fewer things?
Heck no! That’s not possible once I factor in furniture and kitchen equipment. Although I often dream about having all my possessions in one backpack…
What was the last book you read?
A terrific book called Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown. I just finished it today (2014-09-21), and it really drove home for me the fact that I had neglected the minimalist philosophy for my work and other projects and had only pursued minimalism for the consumerist/materialism angle. In order to be successful in my career, I need to define what is truly essential for me and to effectively plan how to accomplish those goals so that I don’t overwork with no results.


Meet a Gilt Technologist: George Chien, Lead Business Intelligence Engineer
If you’re a Business Intelligence Engineer, we’d like to hear about your favorite tools and methodologies. Email us at lapple at gilt dot com.
Hello, George! Tell us a bit about how you arrived at Gilt.
I got here in 2012 after working in business intelligence at Everyday Health, MTV/Viacom, and Hewlett-Packard, and before that I went to school at Cornell.
How have things changed since the early days?
When I first joined the team, we were still trying to figure things out. Our data warehouse was new, our self-service framework wasn’t built out yet, and our goals weren’t as well defined. Since then we’ve streamlined our processes and become a lot more efficient, within the team and out. We were doing a lot of repetitive work and now there’s much more time to work on projects that will make a difference and that we’re passionate about.
What drew you to Gilt in the first place?
Just walking into the office I felt a buzz and got the sense that there’s a healthy atmosphere here. Gilt has a great reputation, with a lot of smart people working here. Everyone I spoke to during the interview process, I had a good connection with. Technology-wise, we’re pretty cutting-edge and I was excited to work with the team and learn new skills with the latest tools.
What does an average day look like for you?
Every day is different, but typically I spend half the day doing analyses, then working on projects for different teams. For example, I’m working with our customer transactions team to get credit card data into our data warehouse, and our loyalty team on getting new AB testing data into the warehouse as well. The data team will help the engineers figure out how the data model will work and look. Projects vary in length and scope, but the ones I’m working on now have lasted a couple months.
The data team’s recent work has been involving a lot of open source technologies.
Yes. We’re doing much of our current work through new event streams, in which services relay messages to Kafka, and the data warehouse reads those messages. Eventually we’ll use Hadoop for the file storage, with Kafka relaying the messages there and the data warehouse reading from Hadoop. In our work with Kafka, the idea behind it—and we’re not there yet—but it is to create easy access to all of the data within the company, so no one will have to ask an engineer to create a process to access a file or send data to the data team; they can just publish events to Kafka.
In terms of technology skills, what should a business intelligence engineer possess?
Prior experience using a range of business intelligence tools, a solid background in SQL, and an understanding of how a data warehouse works. But the primary qualification for the job is a good mind for analytics–the ability to draw connections between different data sources, understand data models, see patterns, and consolidate them into insights decipherable by anyone.
At Gilt, a lot of our data isn’t exact, so working with it involves a lot of research. At a more granular level, that means working with various engineering teams to understand the data they’re producing and putting the data together from multiple sources (inventory, site-live inventory, email, click-stream, order transactions) to fit it into a model. Then we run the data through the model to understand its various attributes, and highlight the important attributes to support the various business decisions we make.
One of the things we pride ourselves on here is our flat structure. Do you get to work with tech leadership much?
I do work with the tech execs occasionally, but I work more frequently with the heads of other departments, like Marketing and Merchandise Planning. The data team works with every department in the company outside of tech: marketing, finance, operations, merch planning, etc. The projects we work on relate to everything from supply chain management, to new marketing initiatives, to understanding our customers and demographics, to AB testing and understanding more about the user experience. Across these initiatives, my role is to understand where all the data comes from, put it all together and make it easy to use for everyone else in the company who needs it. Within the data team, I work closely with our chief data scientist to run data models and see if certain assumptions about our data make sense or not.
Talk a bit about the tech stack our data team uses.
Our stack currently includes Aster Teradata, Hadoop, Kafka, AWS and AWS Kinesis, real-time data events streams, and lots of micro-services written in Scala. On the front-end we work with Cognos, Looker and Spotfire.
What do you enjoy most about working with this stack?
Our data warehouse is pretty amazing in terms of speed and processing power. The amount of data we can process, run analytics on and get responses back–and quickly–is pretty awesome. A lot of other places I’ve been to, especially startups, don’t have the infrastructure to do that. It’s great to be able to iterate on your analytics quickly—you don’t have to wait for the data to come back.
The MR functions that Aster provides, and the functions we can create on our own, make our analytics even faster. And having Scala programmers on our team, who can help write MRs so that we can do things Aster can’t do out of the box, is really powerful.
Which technology do you personally use the most?
Most of my work involves working with SQL, but also Cognos and Looker. We do a lot of data mining and looking at large sets of data to find patterns.
We’ve been a bit bullish about Looker since we started using it. What are its advantages?
Looker has empowered people across the business to do their own analysis. It’s generated a collective sense of ownership when it comes to our data and analytics. The more powerful self-service is, the more insightful our analytics can be, and the more the data team is freed up from mundane tasks involving pulling data for people. We’re free to discover new things and take on new projects, not just build reports for the rest of the company.
What are your favorite things about your job?
Interacting with all the different teams–it helps me to understand the business more. Designing new solutions and participating in the discussions on how to best approach an analysis, choose the data to work with. I also appreciate the diversity of projects. Usually the data team will focus on helping one department at a time for 2-3 months, but even then we’re still working with everyone.
What do you like most about the data team’s culture?
Everyone is pretty independent, yet we’re pretty close. We’re all there for each other, but we give each other a lot of leeway to build and develop the way we want to.
And what about Gilt’s culture in general?
We’re quick in getting things done. Everyone is really helpful. We act on new ideas quickly and we’re not afraid to fail.


Lesson 7, page 11. This letter is a straightforward sound "th", like in thrust or ruthless. Lesson 8, page 12. This is the easiest letter, R. Lesson 9, page 13. SH simple letter, like the sound of SHrimp. Lesson 10, page 14. Same sound like the Z in Zinc.

Write: sure, shop, sugar, sharp, patch, ciao, sheet, cheat, shut, shutter, British, Russia. Write: zoo, pose, bozo, ziro, zigzag, rose, rise, jazz, Zambia.

Lesson 11, page 15. The next two letters should be studied together. They are like two opposite twin brothers. The one in page 15 is HA. it's pronounced like a heavy h. Or to be more accurate like the sound you make when you blow air from your throat into your hands during winter when it's cold, to make it warm. That's why this letter is related to warmth, heat and feelings as we shall see. Arabic uses the whole range of sounds we can produce, from the top of the tongue back till the middle of the throat. This letter comes from the deepest place! I guess that's why it's related to emotions. There are many words that start with this letter which convey the meanings of heat and feelings. حب love. حرب war. (heat of the battle!). حفلة party. (hot party!). Hhobb=love, Hharb=war. Hhafla=party. Also Hharara=heat. Hhatab=firewood. Hhayy=Alive. Hhorreyya= freedom. Hhess=emotion. Hhanaan=kindness. FaraHh=wedding. Or=happiness. JarHh=wound (can be emotional wound).
So as you can see that letter is unique Subhanallah. If you pronounce it right you will feel that it's coming from deep inside your throat, actually from a deeper place in your lungs near your heart!. So it is a very expressive letter. In the other hand his twin brother is a loser, that's why we differentiate him by an added dot. The sound here is more superficial. Coming from the top of the throat. Like the hocking sound when people spit! And look the ugly insensitive words related to this letter Kha in contrast with its twin Hha. Kha'ef= afraid. Kha'en=traitor. Kharaab=destruction. Khatima=ending. Khaser=loser. Khabeeth=cunning. Khadsh=scratch (superficial!). Khed'a=trick. Khorda=scrap. Kharif=autumn. Khodoo'a=yielding. Khateer=dangerous.
Of course not all the words that have that letter are negative, but this is the general feel of the letter even the sound is a bit ugly! Study these two contrasting twin letters together and you will never forget them.
Write: Hhabeeby=my lover. This is a recurring word in most arabic songs! KhuTt=handwriting or line. Kharab= destruction. And don't forget to write Hhob=love. And Hhasaas=sensitive. Pay attention to the long and short vowels that are not written. You can check pronunciation on forvo.com.
Habeeby حبيبي Khutt خط Kharab خراب Hob حب Hassass حساس
Lesson 12, page 18: This letter is super easy and straightforward. Same like the English D. This is the third letter after alif and waw that connects only to the letter before it and doesn't connect after.
Write: drop, dash, shade, bad, bed, door, dice, dog, dot, ideas (tricky), Chad (country name).

'Baby Trump' balloon slashed at appearance outside Alabama-LSU game
by APTUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- A towering Baby Trump protest balloon was knifed and deflated by someone unhappy with its appearance during President Donald Trump's Saturday trip to Alabama, organizers said.
The incident occurred during Trump's visit to watch the University of Alabama football game. The balloon, which is over 20 feet tall, was set up in a nearby park.
Jim Girvan, the organizer of a group that "adopts" out Baby Trump balloons for protests, said a man charged the balloon with a knife and cut an 8-foot-long gash in the back. Girvan said the unidentified man was arrested. Tuscaloosa police did not immediately respond to a request for more details.
The orange, diaper-clad, cellphone-clutching caricature of the president is often taken to Trump appearances as a way to protest him.
Baby Trump first rose over London when local activists brainstormed a way to troll Trump. Now several groups raise money to bring balloon replicas around the U.S.
Robert Kennedy, a volunteer "baby sitter" who brought the balloon to Tuscaloosa, said the balloon immediately began to sag after it was cut.
The day had been going mostly smoothly, Kennedy said. Some people yelled "Trump 2020" as they passed while others posed for selfies with the balloon. But then Kennedy said a man sidled up on the back of the balloon and attacked it with a knife. He ran away but was caught by police officers, Kennedy said.
Kennedy said he's accompanied Baby Trump to many appearances and never witnessed an attack on the balloon, although someone did stab a Baby Trump balloon in London earlier this year.
"It is rare to get that kind of anger," Kennedy said.

Update the Help app on YouView platform to bring it more in-line with the Next Generation user
experience. Ensure that the design correspond with the YouView, BT amd TalkTalk support sites
whilst
retaining the ability for users to troubleshoot
their problems.
Customers who currently use the service but may have difficulty using the
product due to sight-related issues. Customers who wish to have a more accessible TV
service
The legacy YouView help menu was built
as a way for customers to solve the problems they were facing in their own time. The
depreciation of
the legacy UI and the move to the Next Generation interface pushed forward the need to bring the
Help App into line with the revamped
service.
I was chosen to lead this project working alongside a junior designer and an intern,
helping to guide them towards a final product
YouView TV Ltd
2018
Lead Product Designer
The release of the next generation YouView ui had left the help app feeling out of date and
disconnected from the main user experience.
The help app, designed alongside the initial launch in 2012, was clunky, slow and
was
designed in a way which was no longer applicable for our needs.
Its usability was challenged and our data showed that we were having more calls and
social media posts with problems that could be solved with an improvement in the help app
The goal of the help app was to create an convenient way to solve issues a user would have. We didn't want to just reskin the existing help app, we wanted to create a great experience that would help a user in a stressful time.
Create a consistent user journey matching the rest of the UI
Use a scalable template based system that could be iterated upon
Lower the amount of calls and support site hits
I was placed into the project as the lead designer and worked collaboratively with both a junior UX designer and an intern from the visual design team, allowing them to progress designs and involving them in every stage of the process. In addition, other designers were involved and contributed to ensure a collaborative working environment. I stopped working on this project after stakeholder buy in, as the project was entered into our agile backlog
At the beginning of the project the whole agile cluster was brought together to kick off.
By bringing all the team, developers, testers amongst others, gave everyone an
opportunity to brainstorm the issue’s and to create a sense of ownership of the project for
all.
We also brought in the information gathered by our viewer support team, as well as
insights gained from the use of social media to help guide the conversation and to stay on
topic.
This initial kickoff opened the conversation in the team and before long it became
a
team based user testing session. People were starting to find issues that we hadn't even
seen
reported by actual users, but which would
make our product even better.
Existing customer feedback
All this work looking into the issues led to the team thinking on the initial brief.
Our insights told us that maybe the brief was wrong, it wasn't just the customers
journey was difficult, but they were also not finding the relevant content and that led to
frustration and in turn led to the customer phoning
or using social media to air their frustrations.
We then had to ask the question, how can we present not just the best content, but
the
right content for the customer.
A customer doesn't always need to know exactly what's wrong. Sometimes they just want it fixed. We didn't want the user to have to jump through hoops to find solutions and we wanted to make it quick and easy for them to get back to watching their favourite content.
A customer doesn't always need to know exactly what's wrong. Sometimes they just want it
fixed.
We didn't want the user to have to jump through hoops to find solutions and we wanted to
make it
quick and easy for them to get back to watching their favourite
content.
With our initial whiteboard sessions, we came up with some major goals we wanted for the help app.
Having the most popular content at the forefront of the app
Making the videos the first thing that the customer sees
Ensuring that it's easy to find solutions to problems
Making sure error codes are linked to the articles
A customer doesn't always need to know exactly what's wrong. Sometimes they just want it fixed. We didn't want the user to have to jump through hoops to find solutions and we wanted to make it quick and easy for them to get back to watching their favourite content.
Working with a group of freelance 3D artist's I led their direction for the production of images shown to the user on the topic pages. I wanted to ensure that the images related to the settings area where issues corresponded to create a link between the setting and the help topic.
I created detailed documentation during this project to communicate specifications for the
front-end development team and as well as out test team, for both manual and automated
testing.
Final delivery consisted of visual design specs through Zeplin app,
as well as detailed flows and journeys upload to product managment applications to track
development.
I also keeped track of development through the use of sign-off points entered into
the
production roadmap. This gave me the ability to present work-in-progress to senior managment
teams and to take any feedback onboard
to the wider cluster team.
Like the rest of the YouView interface, there is a requirement to create ISP versions of any
feature, to more represent the shareholders brand and to create a seemless experience for their
customers
As such we had to incorperate
both BT and TalkTalk interface colours into the project.
These results come from the user testing sessions with the final designs using a micxture of
existing customers from all three user bases, BT TT and retail
This coming from in house
user testing means the results are skewed
and as such would not be indicative of a wider release
More than 80% of participents would
use the help app as thier first point of call in the event of an error
The most hughly reguarded feature was the acess to most common issues
The imagery
relating to the settings area was also highlighted as a way to quickly link areas
This project was not supposed to be the final version, it is onlyt the first version of an iterative agile process in making the help app as useful as a feature for the customer We took feedback and are ensuring the product is the best experience it can bre

It could be used for locating suspicious network traffic or to evaluate current utilization of the network interface.When I discovered Trafshow for Linux (Copyright (c) 1993-1997 JSC Rinet, Novosibirsk, Russia) I decided to create something like a Windows version of this usable software. Sirius was completely rewritten. It is not a Windows port of Trafshow.

Put on your Sunday best and make rack of lamb the crowning glory for a special lunch.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
For the stuffing, heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan. Add the onion and fry gently for five minutes, stirring occasionally until softened. Stir in the almonds and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.
Sprinkle the spices over the onion and almonds and cook for one minute. Scatter the pear pieces into the pan and add the garlic, apricots, sultanas, cranberries, orange and lemon zest. Stir together over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add all the herbs and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for a further minute, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Season the racks of lamb with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the ribs onto a large, sturdy roasting tin with the eye of the meat at the bottom. Using six long pieces of kitchen string, tie the ribs together at three points.
Spoon the stuffing into the centre of the ribs and cover the surface with aluminium foil. Cover the ends of all the bones with foil to avoid burning.
Roast the crown for 45 minutes for pink and an extra 15 minutes if you prefer your lamb medium. Remove the aluminium foil five minutes before the end of the cooking time.
Remove the baking tin from the oven and carefully transfer the lamb and stuffing to a serving platter. Cover with aluminium foil and tea towels. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
Reserve1-2 tsp of fat in the roasting tin, but discard the remainder. Heat the tin and remove the meaty trimmings with a spatula and discard.
Sprinkle the flour into the tin and cook for a few seconds. Slowly pour in the red wine and allow to bubble for 20 seconds, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon. Stir in the water, add the mint and return to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Strain though a sieve into a heatproof jug.
Take the lamb to the table and cut through the bones to serve. Depending on the size of your racks, 2-3 chops should make one serving when accompanied by the fruity stuffing. Spoon over a little of the sauce and serve.

Google Begins Testing Extension Manifest V3 in Chrome Canary
by Lawrence AbramsGoogle has begun testing their upcoming extension manifest V3 in the the latest Chrome Canary build, and with this initial 'alpha' release, developers can begin testing their extensions under the upcoming specification.
In a post to the Chromium Extensions Google group, Simeon Vincent, a Google Developer Advocate for Chrome Extensions, stated that as of October 31st a developer preview of the extension manifest v3 is now available in the Chrome 80 Canary build.
"Think of it as an early alpha. The "dev preview" is the first opportunity for extensions developers to start experimenting with a work-in-progress version of the MV3 platform.
We're far from finished with the implementation work on the MV3 platform, so first and foremost expect changes.
As for what's changing, the four big-ticket items in MV3 are:
- Host permissions changes
- Blocking webRequest -> declarativeNetRequest
- Background page -> service workers
- Remotely hosted code restrictions"
The declarativeNetRequest API has already been available for experimentation in Chrome Canary and we're continuing to iterate on it's capabilities
As part of this launch, Google has created a Migrating to Manifest V3 guide that developers can use to migrate their existing extensions.
The most controversial aspect of the extension manifest v3 is the upcoming changes to the webRequest API. In v3, Google has changed the API so that extensions can only monitor browser connections, but not modify any of the content before it's displayed.
Instead Google wants developers to use the declarativeNetRequest API, which has the browser, not the extension, strip content or resources from a visited web sites. This API, though, has a limit of 30,000 rules that can be created.
Unfortunately, this change will break popular ad blockers such as uBlock Origin, which rely on the original functionality of the webRequest API and need more rules than are available in the declarativeNetRequest API.
Testing changes in extension manifest v3
If you are using the current Chrome Canary build you can test the new changes by creating your own extension and setting its manifest version to 3.
BrowserNative.com, who first reported about the developer preview launch, shared with BleepingComputer a test extension that can be used to test the new changes.
For example, in the extension manifest.json file below, the version has been set to 3 and it's using a background.scripts call.
As background.scripts is no longer supported, trying to load the extension will generate an error, as shown below, that states you need to "use the "background.service_worker" key instead".
If you switch the extension to use a service_worker instead then the extension loads properly into Google Chrome.
All extension developers should consult the migration guide to make sure their extensions will work properly with the upcoming manifest v3 changes.
While they are now in preview, Google expects the manifest v3 to go live in 2020 with the v2 end of life to be determined in the future.

public class QName
QName
represents a qualified name
as defined in the XML specifications: XML Schema Part2:
Datatypes specification, Namespaces
in XML, Namespaces
in XML Errata.
The value of a QName
contains a Namespace
URI, local part and
prefix.
The prefix is included in QName
to retain lexical
information when present in an XML input source
. The prefix is
NOT used in QName.equals(Object)
or to compute the QName.hashCode()
. Equality and the hash code are defined using
only the Namespace URI and local part.
If not specified, the Namespace URI is set to XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI
.
If not specified, the prefix is set to XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX
.
QName
is immutable.

public QName(String namespaceURI, String localPart)
QName
constructor specifying the Namespace URI
and local part.
If the Namespace URI is null
, it is set to
XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI
. This value represents no
explicitly defined Namespace as defined by the Namespaces
in XML specification. This action preserves compatible
behavior with QName 1.0. Explicitly providing the XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI
value is the preferred coding
style.
If the local part is null
an
IllegalArgumentException
is thrown.
A local part of "" is allowed to preserve
compatible behavior with QName 1.0.
When using this constructor, the prefix is set to XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX
.
The Namespace URI is not validated as a URI reference. The local part is not validated as a NCName as specified in Namespaces in XML.
namespaceURI
- Namespace URI of the QName
localPart
- local part of the QName
QName(String namespaceURI, String localPart, String
prefix)
public QName(String namespaceURI, String localPart, String prefix)
QName
constructor specifying the Namespace URI,
local part and prefix.
If the Namespace URI is null
, it is set to
XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI
. This value represents no
explicitly defined Namespace as defined by the Namespaces
in XML specification. This action preserves compatible
behavior with QName 1.0. Explicitly providing the XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI
value is the preferred coding
style.
If the local part is null
an
IllegalArgumentException
is thrown.
A local part of "" is allowed to preserve
compatible behavior with QName 1.0.
If the prefix is null
, an
IllegalArgumentException
is thrown. Use XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX
to explicitly indicate that no
prefix is present or the prefix is not relevant.
The Namespace URI is not validated as a URI reference. The local part and prefix are not validated as a NCName as specified in Namespaces in XML.
namespaceURI
- Namespace URI of the QNamelocalPart
- local part of the QNameprefix
- prefix of the QName
public QName(String localPart)
QName
constructor specifying the local part.
If the local part is null
an
IllegalArgumentException
is thrown.
A local part of "" is allowed to preserve
compatible behavior with QName 1.0.
When using this constructor, the Namespace URI is set to
XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI
and the prefix is set to XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX
.
In an XML context, all Element and Attribute names exist
in the context of a Namespace. Making this explicit during the
construction of a QName
helps prevent hard to
diagnosis XML validity errors. The constructors QName(String
namespaceURI, String localPart)
and
QName(String namespaceURI, String localPart, String prefix)
are preferred.
The local part is not validated as a NCName as specified in Namespaces in XML.
localPart

public String getNamespaceURI()
Get the Namespace URI of this QName
.
QName
public String getLocalPart()
Get the local part of this QName
.
QName
public String getPrefix()
Get the prefix of this QName
.
The prefix assigned to a QName
might
NOT be valid in a different
context. For example, a QName
may be assigned a
prefix in the context of parsing a document but that prefix may
be invalid in the context of a different document.
QName
public final boolean equals(Object objectToTest)
Test this QName
for equality with another
Object
.
If the Object
to be tested is not a
QName
or is null
, then this method
returns false
.
Two QName
s are considered equal if and only if
both the Namespace URI and local part are equal. This method
uses String.equals()
to check equality of the
Namespace URI and local part. The prefix is
NOT used to determine equality.
This method satisfies the general contract of Object.equals(Object)
equals
in class Object
objectToTest
- the Object

if the given Object
is
equal to this QName
else false
Object.hashCode()
,
Hashtable
public final int hashCode()
Generate the hash code for this QName
.
The hash code is calculated using both the Namespace URI and
the local part of the QName
. The prefix is
NOT used to calculate the hash
code.
This method satisfies the general contract of Object.hashCode()
.

public String toString()
String
representation of this
QName
.
The commonly accepted way of representing a QName
as a String
was defined
by James Clark. Although this is not a standard
specification, it is in common use, e.g. Transformer.setParameter(String name, Object value)
.
This implementation represents a QName
as:
"{" + Namespace URI + "}" + local part. If the Namespace URI
.equals(XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI)
, only the
local part is returned. An appropriate use of this method is
for debugging or logging for human consumption.
Note the prefix value is NOT
returned as part of the String
representation.
This method satisfies the general contract of Object.toString()
.
toString
in class Object
String
representation of this QName
public static QName valueOf(String qNameAsString)
QName
derived from parsing the formatted
String
.
If the String
is null
or does not conform to
QName.toString()
formatting, an
IllegalArgumentException
is thrown.
The String
MUST be in the
form returned by QName.toString()
.
The commonly accepted way of representing a QName
as a String
was defined
by James Clark. Although this is not a standard
specification, it is in common use, e.g. Transformer.setParameter(String name, Object value)
.
This implementation parses a String
formatted
as: "{" + Namespace URI + "}" + local part. If the Namespace
URI .equals(XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI)
, only the
local part should be provided.
The prefix value CANNOT be
represented in the String
and will be set to
XMLConstants.DEFAULT_NS_PREFIX
.
This method does not do full validation of the resulting
QName
.
The Namespace URI is not validated as a URI reference. The local part is not validated as a NCName as specified in Namespaces in XML.

(2) The contractor is a Federally-Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) as authorized in 41 U.S.C. 1709(c) and the work placed under the FFRDC's contract meets the criteria of 35.017-3; or
(3) Such functions are otherwise authorized by law.
(a) The head of an agency shall determine, for each evaluation or analysis of proposals, if sufficient personnel with the requisite training and capabilities are available within the agency to perform the evaluation or analysis of proposals submitted for the acquisition.
(b) If, for a specific evaluation or analysis, such personnel are not available within the agency, the head of the agency shall—
(1) Determine which Federal agencies may have personnel with the required training and capabilities; and
(2) Consider the administrative cost and time associated with conducting the search, the dollar value of the procurement, other costs, such as travel costs involved in the use of such personnel, and the needs of the Federal agencies to make management decisions on the best use of available personnel in performing the agency’s mission.
(c) If the supporting agency agrees to make the required personnel available, the agencies shall execute an agreement for the detail of the supporting agency’s personnel to the requesting agency.
(d) If the requesting agency, after reasonable attempts to obtain personnel with the required training and capabilities, is unable to identify such personnel, the head of the agency may make the determination required by 37.203.
(e) An agency may make a determination regarding the availability of covered personnel for a class of proposals for which evaluation and analysis would require expertise so unique or specialized that it is not reasonable to expect such personnel to be available.
The contracting officer shall ensure that the determination required in accordance with the guidelines at 37.204 has been made prior to issuing a solicitation.

We used Pomarina's brand guidelines to produce a website that set them apart from their competitors as an exclusive cider that tastes as good as it looks.
The client wanted the design to really highlight the individuality of the product and to clearly communicate how Pomarina is not just any cider but a 'champagne' cider - like no other. It was also important for the design and layout to convey the brand's rich history and place of origin. Each page has a bespoke design which helps to bring the brand to life.
We developed this site in Typo3 which allows the client to update content and the news section on a regular basis. The site was built responsively for all devices and is intuitive for users to navigate.
Site address: www.pomarina.com
"Say Web Design created a visually distinctive and cutting-edge site that was also reliable and affordable too. We worked with Lorraine who understood our business needs and delivered. They are always available to us and give great advice. Very happy."
John Squibb / CEO Pomarina

The following is a dependency graph. Nodes represent packages and edges – requires between them. Packages in parent modules (assumed to be installed before attempting to install the package) are not included in the graph. Big graphs may fail to render due to memory constrains. You can hover nodes and edges to tooltip with some information – useful especially when graph is not readable due to its complexity. Soft-dependencies are not shown in the graph (yet).


A grid based design is a design method where you split the page into a grid and then contain certain elements within certain boxes. It allows for more balanced looking pages and tends to make them more aesthetically pleasing because of this.
Having a responsive web page means that it will adjust according to the resolution of the screen on different devices. This means that there's a more consistent look to things and you can make your pages more user-friendly
Semantic structure is a way of telling browsers what to display using tags. They describe the content rather than just the appearance eg. the em for bold text.

Laning phase will revolve around a few things. First, you should earn more gold by last-hitting using Parrrley. The gold advantage will help you get your power spike faster and help you upgrade your Cannon Barrage later on. You can also use Powder Keg to clear waves faster. The gold bonus also stacks up with The Keg if you last hit it suing Parrrley.
Try and stay out of enemy range when farming and harassing.  One thing you should remember is that you should be constantly moving — this makes dodging enemy abilities easier. Once you hit level 6, just farm but try and keep an eye on the other lanes too so if you can help out using your ultimate you can get an assist, which is more gold for you.
You should start roaming in mid game and help out lanes that may be having trouble. Always try and participate in mini teamfights. When you are in a fight, drop a Powder Keg in the middle and use Parrrley to detonate it, dealing an AoE damage to all your enemies and slowing them. If someone is escaping, you can also use your ult to slow them down. Harass squishy targets using your keg and use your passive to drop their HP. If someone goes closer, get out of range, if you get CC-ed, use Remove Scurvy to run away.
 First, you should set up a Powder Keg near you so that your enemy won’t be able to reach it while its hit points get lower. The ticking rate at early levels is pretty slow and may take a little bit of practice to time, especially if you have a lane opponent. Once it is down to one hit point, you should drop a second one connecting to it and hit it with a parrrley to detonate both barrels consecutively. This will deal huge AOE damage from Parrrley, as well as the bonus damage from the barrels themselves, making wave clearing easier and chunking a part of your enemy’s HP. This will allow you to rack up Silver Serpents rather quickly, since the gold you get from Parrrley is also applicable when you detonate a keg.

This is an implementation of an Ethereum smart contract with a Vue Cli-3 project, to demonstrate how to implement a simple smart contract. The smart contract written in solidity, but compiled and deployed using this JS application. This project is not connected to any database, the data is fed to this website directly from the ethereum smart contract, with no middle-zone. The instructions on how to download nodejs and initialise the project are available on our documentation page. You can also find step-by-step guide on how to write, compile and deploy this smart contract.
The Smart contract code can be found here on etherscan, and our git repo for the contract and this website can be found here.
This contract is deployed to the Rinkeby Test Network, in order to interact with it you will need, Chrome Browser, MetaMask installed and wallet enabled to the Rinkeby Network. You will also need some Rinkeby Test Ether to play with, instructions on how to get test Rinkeby Ether is available on our documentation page as well.
This is a simple web application, but the same process can be applied to more complex projects, the front end is centralised for our project - but more advanced decentralised front-ends can also be built, to make the entire application front and back end decentralised. The same process can be applied to build mobile applications with a smart-contract/blockchain back-end - you can build voting applications, decentralised organisations, blockchain tokens and many more. The possibilites are only limited by your imagination.
If you have a smart contract idea, would like to build your own decentralised application or would rather have us build it for you, get in touch with our project management team on our official blockchain website.

Victim blaming can be described as a phenomenon where the casualty of a wrongful act is somehow held responsible for the hurt inflicted on them. This occurrence seems to be prevalent in cases of sexual and physical assault where the perpetrator is a man and the victim is a woman.
When women report cases of domestic abuse to their family and friends, the first question that they are often faced with is, “What did you do to provoke him?”. As if that is enough reason for a man to physically assault his wife. Unfortunately, I have been one of those who ask that question. This is especially typical in communities where women are expected to be subservient to their spouses and men are given free rein to discipline recalcitrant wives.
Some people’s reactions to reports of sexual assault are similarly appalling. Not only do they blame the woman for dressing in an overtly revealing way but they also blame her for behaving in a provocative way and intentionally seducing her rapist. By their logic, the rapist was powerless in the face of such seduction and had no choice but to force himself on the woman. I wonder what excuse will be given to women who, despite wearing full body coverings such as the Burka, still become victims of rape.
When it comes to married couples, others believe that consent is not required because the man is simply exercising his right as a spouse. When faced with these kinds of criticism from their entourage, it is no wonder that many women shy away from reporting these incidents to the authorities.
Such perceptions have a negative effect on victims and perpetrators. In cases of repeated abuse, victims may start believing their critics and begin blaming themselves for their misfortunes at the hands of their abuser. Perpetrators also face the danger of hindering their own rehabilitation process because in their eyes their actions have been validated by the fact that other people are blaming the victim. As a result of this, they genuinely do not see any wrongdoing on their part and are unable, or even unwilling, to take responsibility for their actions.
Society plays a huge part in perpetuating this vicious cycle. As more children grow up in homes where abuse is rife, girls learn to accept such behaviour from their future partners and boys develop an attitude of nonchalance towards cases of abuse, if they themselves do not become abusers. Girls can also suffer from a lack of self-confidence when interacting with the opposite sex as they fret over their clothing being too revealing or their actions being too provocative.
Nobody blames robbery victims for not having taken the necessary precautions to keep the robbers at bay. Neither are kidnap victims blamed for finding themselves in a location where they could be easily abducted. So why do we place this additional yoke on the necks of women who have been sexually or physically abused?
