Because Harry's grandparents were not able to do magic. This is generally frowned upon by those who consider themselves pure, such as the Malfoy's or other antagonists.

The purpose of the component is to display the navigation tree of the user (like a file explorer) with the possibility to navigate trough the segments.
Because of flexibility reasons, the navigation needs to be handled inside the controller.
At this moment, the component accepts two attributes: event-name
and segments
.
Event name is optional and is used to trigger an event when the user is clicking o the breadcrumb segments. Segments
is an array of Objects wth the following structure:
The component accepts a special attribute, mode
, which allows the user to choose between three default styles of breadcrumb:
default: The default mode of the component. Also this is the selected mode if none provided.
scroll: By using this mode, the navigator will display a scrollbar on X-axis of the component for an easier navigation over the clickable segments.
arrows: By using this mode, the component will display two arrows, one on the left side and one on the right side for an easier navigation over the clickable segments.
The component accepts no HTML children.

Aggregate Functions
Topics
Aggregate functions compute a single result value from a set of input values.
SELECT statements using aggregate functions can include two optional clauses: GROUP BY and HAVING. The syntax for these clauses is as follows (using the COUNT function as an example):
SELECT count (*) expression FROM table_reference WHERE condition [GROUP BY expression ] [ HAVING condition]
The GROUP BY clause aggregates and groups results by the unique values in a specified column or columns. The HAVING clause restricts the results returned to rows where a particular aggregate condition is true, such as count (*) > 1. The HAVING clause is used in the same way as WHERE to restrict rows based on the value of a column. See the COUNT function description for an example of these additional clauses.
Aggregate functions don't accept nested aggregate functions or window functions as arguments.


University of Minnesota Students Can't Name a Single Democratic Accomplishment | Breitbart
Leftist students at the University of Minnesota attending a Bernie Sanders rally were unable to name a single accomplishment by congressional Democrats in the past three years.
by Tom CiccottaA reporter for the College Fix attended a Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) rally at the University of Minnesota on Sunday to ask leftist college students if they could name a Democratic accomplishment from the past three years.
Most of the students were unable to name a single accomplishment.
“Over the last three years, what is one thing the Democratic party has accomplished?” reporter Kyle Hooten asked leftist students.
“I guess they have taken back the house but, I mean, they are not that good at using their authority or their power,” one student said.
“I felt they haven’t really done much over three years but that might have been because Trump has been in office,” one student said.
“I would say Bernie Sanders igniting his passion in people,” one student said. When Hooten pressed the student for a “tangible accomplishment,” the student had nothing to say.

ImageReaderSpi
subclass, and an
ImageReader
subclass. Optionally, it may contain
implementations of the IIOMetadata
interface
representing the stream and image metadata, and an
IIOMetadataFormat
object describing the structure of
the metadata.
In the following
sections, we will sketch out the implementation of a simple reader
plug-in for a hypothetical format called "MyFormat". It
will consist of the classes MyFormatImageReaderSpi
,
MyFormatImageReader
, and
MyFormatMetadata
.
The format itself is defined to begin with the characters `myformat\n', followed by two four-byte integers representing the width, height, and a single byte indicating the color type of the image, which may be either gray or RGB. Next, after a newline character, metadata values may stored as alternating lines containing a keyword and a value, terminated by the special keyword `END'. The string values are stored using UTF8 encoding followed by a newline. Finally, the image samples are stored in left-to-right, top-to-bottom order as either byte grayscale values, or three bytes representing red, green, and blue.
MyFormatImageReaderSpi
The MyFormatImageReaderSpi
class provides information about the plug-in, including the vendor
name, plug-in version string and description, format name, file
suffixes associated with the format, MIME types associated with the
format, input source classes that the plug-in can handle, and the
ImageWriterSpi
s of plug-ins that are able to
interoperate specially with the reader. It also must provide an
implementation of the canDecodeInput
method, which is
used to locate plug-ins based on the contents of a source image
file.
The
ImageReaderSpi
class provides implementations of most
of its methods. These methods mainly return the value of various
protected instance variables, which the
MyFormatImageReaderSpi
may set directly or via the
superclass constructor, as in the example below:
package com.mycompany.imageio; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Locale; import javax.imageio.ImageReader; import javax.imageio.spi.ImageReaderSpi; import javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream; public class MyFormatImageReaderSpi extends ImageReaderSpi { static final String vendorName = "My Company"; static final String version = "1.0_beta33_build9467"; static final String readerClassName = "com.mycompany.imageio.MyFormatImageReader"; static final String[] names = { "myformat" }; static final String[] suffixes = { "myf" }; static final String[] MIMETypes = { "image/x-myformat" }; static final String[] writerSpiNames = { "com.mycompany.imageio.MyFormatImageWriterSpi" }; // Metadata formats, more information below static final boolean supportsStandardStreamMetadataFormat = false; static final String nativeStreamMetadataFormatName = null static final String nativeStreamMetadataFormatClassName = null; static final String[] extraStreamMetadataFormatNames = null; static final String[] extraStreamMetadataFormatClassNames = null; static final boolean supportsStandardImageMetadataFormat = false; static final String nativeImageMetadataFormatName = "com.mycompany.imageio.MyFormatMetadata_1.0"; static final String nativeImageMetadataFormatClassName = "com.mycompany.imageio.MyFormatMetadata"; static final String[] extraImageMetadataFormatNames = null; static final String[] extraImageMetadataFormatClassNames = null; public MyFormatImageReaderSpi() { super(vendorName, version, names, suffixes, MIMETypes, readerClassName, STANDARD_INPUT_TYPE, // Accept ImageInputStreams writerSpiNames, supportsStandardStreamMetadataFormat, nativeStreamMetadataFormatName, nativeStreamMetadataFormatClassName, extraStreamMetadataFormatNames, extraStreamMetadataFormatClassNames, supportsStandardImageMetadataFormat, nativeImageMetadataFormatName, extraImageMetadataFormatNames, extraImageMetadataFormatClassNames); } public String getDescription(Locale locale) { // Localize as appropriate return "Description goes here"; } public boolean canDecodeInput(Object input) throws IOException { // see below } public ImageReader createReaderInstance(Object extension) { return new MyFormatImageReader(this); } }Most plug-ins need read only from
ImageInputStream
sources, since it is
possible to "wrap" most other types of input with an
appropriate ImageInputStream
. However, it is possible
for a plug-in to work directly with other Object
s, for
example an Object
that provides an interface to a
digital camera or scanner. This interface need not provide a
"stream" view of the device at all. Rather, a plug-in that
is aware of the interface may use it to drive the device directly.
The plug-in
advertises which input classes it can handle via its
getInputTypes
method, which returns an array of
Class
objects. An implementation of
getInputTypes
is provided in the superclass, which
returns the value of the inputTypes
instance variable,
which in turn is set by the seventh argument to the superclass
constructor. The value used in the example above,
STANDARD_INPUT_TYPE
, is shorthand for an array
containing the single element
javax.imageio.stream.ImageInputStream.class
,
indicating that the plug-in accepts only
ImageInputStream
s.
The
canDecodeInput
method is responsible for determining
two things: first, whether the input parameter is an instance of a
class that the plug-in can understand, and second, whether the file
contents appear to be in the format handled by the plug-in. It must
leave its input in the same state as it was when it was passed in.
For an ImageInputStream
input source, the mark and
reset methods may be used. For example, since files in the
"MyFormat" format all begin with the characters
`myformat', canDecodeInput
may be implemented
as:
public boolean canDecodeInput(Object input) { if (!(input instanceof ImageInputStream)) { return false; } ImageInputStream stream = (ImageInputStream)input; byte[] b = new byte[8]; try { stream.mark(); stream.readFully(b); stream.reset(); } catch (IOException e) { return false; } // Cast unsigned character constants prior to comparison return (b[0] == (byte)'m' && b[1] == (byte)'y' && b[2] == (byte)'f' && b[3] == (byte)'o' && b[4] == (byte)'r' && b[5] == (byte)'m' && b[6] == (byte)'a' && b[7] == (byte)'t'); }
MyFormatImageReader
The heart of a reader plug-in is its
extension of the ImageReader
class. This class is
responsible for responding to queries about the images actually
stored in an input file or stream, as well as the actual reading of
images, thumbnails, and metadata. For simplicity, we will ignore
thumbnail images in this example.
A sketch of some of the methods of a hypothetical MyFormatImageReader class is shown below:
package com.mycompany.imageio; public class MyFormatImageReader extends ImageReader { ImageInputStream stream = null; int width, height; int colorType; // Constants enumerating the values of colorType static final int COLOR_TYPE_GRAY = 0; static final int COLOR_TYPE_RGB = 1; boolean gotHeader = false; public MyFormatImageReader(ImageReaderSpi originatingProvider) { super(originatingProvider); } public void setInput(Object input, boolean isStreamable) { super.setInput(input, isStreamable); if (input == null) { this.stream = null; return; } if (input instanceof ImageInputStream) { this.stream = (ImageInputStream)input; } else { throw new IllegalArgumentException("bad input"); } } public int getNumImages(boolean allowSearch) throws IIOException { return 1; // format can only encode a single image } private void checkIndex(int imageIndex) { if (imageIndex != 0) { throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("bad index"); } } public int getWidth(int imageIndex) throws IIOException { checkIndex(imageIndex); // must throw an exception if != 0 readHeader(); return width; } public int getHeight(int imageIndex) throws IIOException { checkIndex(imageIndex); readHeader(); return height; }The getImageTypes Method The reader is responsible for indicating what sorts of images may be used to hold the decoded output. The
ImageTypeSpecifier
class is used to hold a
SampleModel
and ColorModel
indicating a
legal image layout. The getImageTypes
method returns
an Iterator
of ImageTypeSpecifier
s:
public Iterator getImageTypes(int imageIndex) throws IIOException { checkIndex(imageIndex); readHeader(); ImageTypeSpecifier imageType = null; int datatype = DataBuffer.TYPE_BYTE; java.util.List l = new ArrayList(); switch (colorType) { case COLOR_TYPE_GRAY: imageType = ImageTypeSpecifier.createGrayscale(8, datatype, false); break; case COLOR_TYPE_RGB: ColorSpace rgb = ColorSpace.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_sRGB); int[] bandOffsets = new int[3]; bandOffsets[0] = 0; bandOffsets[1] = 1; bandOffsets[2] = 2; imageType = ImageTypeSpecifier.createInterleaved(rgb, bandOffsets, datatype, false, false); break; } l.add(imageType); return l.iterator(); }Parsing the Image Header Several of the methods above depend on a
readHeader
method, which is responsible for reading enough of the input stream
to determine the width, height, and layout of the image.
readHeader
is defined so it is safe to be called
multiple times (note that we are not concerned with multi-threaded
access):
public void readHeader() { if (gotHeader) { return; } gotHeader = true; if (stream == null) { throw new IllegalStateException("No input stream"); } // Read `myformat\n' from the stream byte[] signature = new byte[9]; try { stream.readFully(signature); } catch (IOException e) { throw new IIOException("Error reading signature", e); } if (signature[0] != (byte)'m' || ...) { // etc. throw new IIOException("Bad file signature!"); } // Read width, height, color type, newline try { this.width = stream.readInt(); this.height = stream.readInt(); this.colorType = stream.readUnsignedByte(); stream.readUnsignedByte(); // skip newline character } catch (IOException e) { throw new IIOException("Error reading header", e) } }The actual reading of the image is handled by the
read
method:
public BufferedImage read(int imageIndex, ImageReadParam param) throws IIOException { readMetadata(); // Stream is positioned at start of image dataHandling the ImageReadParam The first section of the method is concerned with using a supplied ImageReadParam object to determine what region of the source image is to be read, what sort of subsampling is to be applied, the selection and rearrangement of bands, and the offset in the destination:
// Compute initial source region, clip against destination later Rectangle sourceRegion = getSourceRegion(param, width, height); // Set everything to default values int sourceXSubsampling = 1; int sourceYSubsampling = 1; int[] sourceBands = null; int[] destinationBands = null; Point destinationOffset = new Point(0, 0); // Get values from the ImageReadParam, if any if (param != null) { sourceXSubsampling = param.getSourceXSubsampling(); sourceYSubsampling = param.getSourceYSubsampling(); sourceBands = param.getSourceBands(); destinationBands = param.getDestinationBands(); destinationOffset = param.getDestinationOffset(); }At this point, the region of interest, subsampling, band selection, and destination offset have been initialized. The next step is to create a suitable destination image. The
ImageReader.getDestination
method will return any image that was specified using
ImageReadParam.setDestination
, or else will create a
suitable destination image using a supplied
ImageTypeSpecifier
, in this case determined by calling
getImageTypes(0)
:
// Get the specified detination image or create a new one BufferedImage dst = getDestination(param, getImageTypes(0), width, height); // Enure band settings from param are compatible with images int inputBands = (colorType == COLOR_TYPE_RGB) ? 3 : 1; checkReadParamBandSettings(param, inputBands, dst.getSampleModel().getNumBands());To reduce the amount of code we have to write, we create a
Raster
to hold a
row's worth of data, and copy the pixels from that
Raster
into the actual image. In this way, band
selection and the details of pixel formatting are taken care of, at
the expense of an additional copy.
int[] bandOffsets = new int[inputBands]; for (int i = 0; i < inputBands; i++) { bandOffsets[i] = i; } int bytesPerRow = width*inputBands; DataBufferByte rowDB = new DataBufferByte(bytesPerRow); WritableRaster rowRas = Raster.createInterleavedRaster(rowDB, width, 1, bytesPerRow, inputBands, bandOffsets, new Point(0, 0)); byte[] rowBuf = rowDB.getData(); // Create an int[] that can a single pixel int[] pixel = rowRas.getPixel(0, 0, (int[])null);Now we have a byte array,
rowBuf
, which can be filled in from the input
data, and which is also the source of pixel data for the
Raster
rowRaster
. We extract the (single)
tile of the destination image, and determine its extent. Then we
create child rasters of both the source and destination that select
and order their bands according to the settings previously
extracted from the ImageReadParam
:
WritableRaster imRas = dst.getWritableTile(0, 0); int dstMinX = imRas.getMinX(); int dstMaxX = dstMinX + imRas.getWidth() - 1; int dstMinY = imRas.getMinY(); int dstMaxY = dstMinY + imRas.getHeight() - 1; // Create a child raster exposing only the desired source bands if (sourceBands != null) { rowRas = rowRas.createWritableChild(0, 0, width, 1, 0, 0, sourceBands); } // Create a child raster exposing only the desired dest bands if (destinationBands != null) { imRas = imRas.createWritableChild(0, 0, imRas.getWidth(), imRas.getHeight(), 0, 0, destinationBands); }Reading the Pixel Data Now we are ready to begin read pixel data from the image. We will read whole rows, and perform subsampling and destination clipping as we proceed. The horizontal clipping is complicated by the need to take subsampling into account. Here we perform per-pixel clipping; a more sophisticated reader could perform horizontal clipping once:
for (int srcY = 0; srcY < height; srcY++) { // Read the row try { stream.readFully(rowBuf); } catch (IOException e) { throw new IIOException("Error reading line " + srcY, e); } // Reject rows that lie outside the source region, // or which aren't part of the subsampling if ((srcY < sourceRegion.y) || (srcY >= sourceRegion.y + sourceRegion.height) || (((srcY - sourceRegion.y) % sourceYSubsampling) != 0)) { continue; } // Determine where the row will go in the destination int dstY = destinationOffset.y + (srcY - sourceRegion.y)/sourceYSubsampling; if (dstY < dstMinY) { continue; // The row is above imRas } if (dstY > dstMaxY) { break; // We're done with the image } // Copy each (subsampled) source pixel into imRas for (int srcX = sourceRegion.x; srcX < sourceRegion.x + sourceRegion.width; srcX++) { if (((srcX - sourceRegion.x) % sourceXSubsampling) != 0) { continue; } int dstX = destinationOffset.x + (srcX - sourceRegion.x)/sourceXSubsampling; if (dstX < dstMinX) { continue; // The pixel is to the left of imRas } if (dstX > dstMaxX) { break; // We're done with the row } // Copy the pixel, sub-banding is done automatically rowRas.getPixel(srcX, 0, pixel); imRas.setPixel(dstX, dstY, pixel); } } return dst;For performance, the case where
sourceXSubsampling
is equal to 1 may be
broken out separately, since it is possible to copy multiple pixels
at once:
// Create an int[] that can hold a row's worth of pixels int[] pixels = rowRas.getPixels(0, 0, width, 1, (int[])null); // Clip against the left and right edges of the destination image int srcMinX = Math.max(sourceRegion.x, dstMinX - destinationOffset.x + sourceRegion.x); int srcMaxX = Math.min(sourceRegion.x + sourceRegion.width - 1, dstMaxX - destinationOffset.x + sourceRegion.x); int dstX = destinationOffset.x + (srcMinX - sourceRegion.x); int w = srcMaxX - srcMinX + 1; rowRas.getPixels(srcMinX, 0, w, 1, pixels); imRas.setPixels(dstX, dstY, w, 1, pixels);There are several additional features that readers should implement, namely informing listeners of the progress of the read, and allowing the read process to be aborted from another thread. Listeners There are three types of listeners that may be attached to a reader: IIOReadProgressListener, IIOReadUpdateListener, and IIOReadWarningListener. Any number of each type may be attached to a reader by means of various add and remove methods that are implemented in the ImageReader superclass. ImageReader also contains various process methods that broadcast information to all of the attached listeners of a given type. For example, when the image read begins, the method processImageStarted(imageIndex) should be called to inform all attached IIOReadProgressListeners of the event.
A reader plug-in is normally responsible for calling processImageStarted and processImageComplete at the beginning and end of its read method, respectively. processImageProgress should be called at least every few scanlines with an estimate of the percentage completion of the read. It is important that this percentage never decrease during the read of a single image. If the reader supports thumbnails, the corresponsing thumbnail progress methods should be called as well. The processSequenceStarted and processSequenceComplete methods of IIOReadProgressListener only need to be called if the plug-in overrides the superclass implementation of readAll.
More advanced readers that process incoming data in multiple passes may choose to support IIOReadUpdateListeners, which receive more detauled information about which pixels have been read so far. Applications may use this information to perform selective updates of an on-screen image, for example, or to re-encode image data in a streaming fashion.
Aborting the Read Process While one thread performs an image read, another thread may call the reader's abort method asynchronously. The reading thread should poll the reader's status periodically using the abortRequested method, and attempt to cut the decoding short. The partially decoded image should still be returned, although the reader need not make any guarantees about its contents. For example, it could contain compressed or encrypted data in its DataBuffer that does not make sense visually. IIOReadProgressListener Example A typical set of IIOReadProgressListener calls might look like this:public BufferedImage read(int imageIndex, ImageReadParam param) throws IOException { // Clear any previous abort request boolean aborted = false; clearAbortRequested(); // Inform IIOReadProgressListeners of the start of the image processImageStarted(imageIndex); // Compute xMin, yMin, xSkip, ySkip from the ImageReadParam // ... // Create a suitable image BufferedImage theImage = new BufferedImage(...); // Compute factors for use in reporting percentages int pixelsPerRow = (width - xMin + xSkip - 1)/xSkip; int rows = (height - yMin + ySkip - 1)/ySkip; long pixelsDecoded = 0L; long totalPixels = rows*pixelsPerRow; for (int y = yMin; y < height; y += yskip) { // Decode a (subsampled) scanline of the image // ... // Update the percentage estimate // This may be done only every few rows if desired pixelsDecoded += pixelsPerRow; processImageProgress(100.0F*pixelsDecoded/totalPixels); // Check for an asynchronous abort request if (abortRequested()) { aborted = true; break; } } // Handle the end of decoding if (aborted) { processImageAborted(); } else { processImageComplete(imageIndex); } // If the read was aborted, we still return a partially decoded image return theImage; }Metadata The next set of methods in
MyFormatImageReader
deal with metadata. Because our
hypothetical format only encodes a single image, we may ignore the
concept of "stream" metadata, and use "image"
metadata only:
MyFormatMetadata metadata = null; // class defined below public IIOMetadata getStreamMetadata() throws IIOException { return null; } public IIOMetadata getImageMetadata(int imageIndex) throws IIOException { if (imageIndex != 0) { throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException("imageIndex != 0!"); } readMetadata(); return metadata; }The actual work is done by a format-specific method
readMetadata
, which for
this format fills in the keyword/value pairs of the metadata
object,
public void readMetadata() throws IIOException {
if (metadata != null) {
return;
}
readHeader();
this.metadata = new MyFormatMetadata();
try {
while (true) {
String keyword = stream.readUTF();
stream.readUnsignedByte();
if (keyword.equals("END")) {
break;
}
String value = stream.readUTF();
stream.readUnsignedByte();
metadata.keywords.add(keyword);
metadata.values.add(value);
} catch (IIOException e) {
throw new IIOException("Exception reading metadata",
e);
}
}
}
MyFormatMetadata
Finally, the various interfaces for
extracting and editing metadata must be defined. We define a class
called MyFormatMetadata
that extends the
IIOMetadata
class, and additionally can store the
keyword/value pairs that are allowed in the file format:
package com.mycompany.imageio; import org.w3c.dom.*; import javax.xml.parsers.*; // Package name may change in JDK 1.4 import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Iterator; import java.util.List; import javax.imageio.metadata.IIOInvalidTreeException; import javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadata; import javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadataFormat; import javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadataNode; public class MyFormatMetadata extends IIOMetadata { static final boolean standardMetadataFormatSupported = false; static final String nativeMetadataFormatName = "com.mycompany.imageio.MyFormatMetadata_1.0"; static final String nativeMetadataFormatClassName = "com.mycompany.imageio.MyFormatMetadata"; static final String[] extraMetadataFormatNames = null; static final String[] extraMetadataFormatClassNames = null; // Keyword/value pairs List keywords = new ArrayList(); List values = new ArrayList();The first set of methods are common to most IIOMetadata implementations:
public MyFormatMetadata() { super(standardMetadataFormatSupported, nativeMetadataFormatName, nativeMetadataFormatClassName, extraMetadataFormatNames, extraMetadataFormatClassNames); } public IIOMetadataFormat getMetadataFormat(String formatName) { if (!formatName.equals(nativeMetadataFormatName)) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Bad format name!"); } return MyFormatMetadataFormat.getDefaultInstance(); }The most important method for reader plug-ins is
getAsTree
:
public Node getAsTree(String formatName) { if (!formatName.equals(nativeMetadataFormatName)) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Bad format name!"); } // Create a root node IIOMetadataNode root = new IIOMetadataNode(nativeMetadataFormatName); // Add a child to the root node for each keyword/value pair Iterator keywordIter = keywords.iterator(); Iterator valueIter = values.iterator(); while (keywordIter.hasNext()) { IIOMetadataNode node = new IIOMetadataNode("KeywordValuePair"); node.setAttribute("keyword", (String)keywordIter.next()); node.setAttribute("value", (String)valueIter.next()); root.appendChild(node); } return root; }For writer plug-ins, the ability to edit metadata values is obtained by implementing the
isReadOnly
, reset
, and
mergeTree
methods:
public boolean isReadOnly() { return false; } public void reset() { this.keywords = new ArrayList(); this.values = new ArrayList(); } public void mergeTree(String formatName, Node root) throws IIOInvalidTreeException { if (!formatName.equals(nativeMetadataFormatName)) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("Bad format name!"); } Node node = root; if (!node.getNodeName().equals(nativeMetadataFormatName)) { fatal(node, "Root must be " + nativeMetadataFormatName); } node = node.getFirstChild(); while (node != null) { if (!node.getNodeName().equals("KeywordValuePair")) { fatal(node, "Node name not KeywordValuePair!"); } NamedNodeMap attributes = node.getAttributes(); Node keywordNode = attributes.getNamedItem("keyword"); Node valueNode = attributes.getNamedItem("value"); if (keywordNode == null || valueNode == null) { fatal(node, "Keyword or value missing!"); } // Store keyword and value keywords.add((String)keywordNode.getNodeValue()); values.add((String)valueNode.getNodeValue()); // Move to the next sibling node = node.getNextSibling(); } } private void fatal(Node node, String reason) throws IIOInvalidTreeException { throw new IIOInvalidTreeException(reason, node); } }
MyFormatMetadataFormat
The tree structure of the metadata may be
described using the IIOMetadataFormat interface. An implementation
class, IIOMetadataFormatImpl, takes care of maintaining the
"database" of information about elements, their attributes,
and the parent-child relationships between them:
package com.mycompany.imageio; import javax.imageio.ImageTypeSpecifier; import javax.imageio.metadata.IIOMetadataFormatImpl; public class MyFormatMetadataFormat extends IIOMetadataFormatImpl { // Create a single instance of this class (singleton pattern) private static MyFormatMetadataFormat defaultInstance = new MyFormatMetadataFormat(); // Make constructor private to enforce the singleton pattern private MyFormatMetadataFormat() { // Set the name of the root node // The root node has a single child node type that may repeat super("com.mycompany.imageio.MyFormatMetadata_1.0", CHILD_POLICY_REPEAT); // Set up the "KeywordValuePair" node, which has no children addElement("KeywordValuePair", "com.mycompany.imageio.MyFormatMetadata_1.0", CHILD_POLICY_EMPTY); // Set up attribute "keyword" which is a String that is required // and has no default value addAttribute("KeywordValuePair", "keyword", DATATYPE_STRING, true, null); // Set up attribute "value" which is a String that is required // and has no default value addAttribute("KeywordValuePair", "value", DATATYPE_STRING, true, null); } // Check for legal element name public boolean canNodeAppear(String elementName, ImageTypeSpecifier imageType) { return elementName.equals("KeywordValuePair"); } // Return the singleton instance public static MyFormatMetadataFormat getDefaultInstance() { return defaultInstance; } }

FARGO
A Trashing by Rigor Mortis Copyright ) 1997 Rigor Mortis
Joel and Ethan Coen make good movies, not great ones. Some are very good and others just pretty good, but none are masterpieces, and, consequently, FARGO is by no means the masterpiece it has been hailed as. I saw it for the first time on Cable recently. Having my doubts, I refused to shell out seven dollars to see it in a theater, and I'm glad I didn't because the resulting experience was a quite ordinary and unmemorable one. The film can't seem to decide what it wants to be and fails on all levels as a result: for a serious movie it's not serious enough and strangely structured; for a black comedy it's more disturbing and pathetic than dark and wicked; for a quirky comedy it isn't very quirky; and, for a straight comedy it's too gory and just not particularly funny. The 'fresh and intelligent' dialogue I've heard critics gush over is really pretty ordinary, and littered with the obligatory profanity necessary to jazz up lame dialogue. And, when all is said and done, you're left with the empty feeling of having been mildly entertained by something that's completely pointless, without even the satisfaction that comes with a solid crime drama that ties up all the loose ends: What became of the suitcase full of cash that Steve Buscemi buried in the snow? What'll happen to William H. Macy's son now that he no longer has a family? And, what about the Japanese guy? What was he even doing in that film in the first place? Who knows? Then again, who cares? Frances McDormand's performance is not Oscar caliber. Her character is one-dimensional and kept interesting (slightly) by a gimmick. She smiles constantly and says 'yah' and 'you betcha', and critics who had never seen and heard this before were fooled into believing it was some sort of stroke of genius (William H. Macy delivers the film's best performance but even it gets tiresome and gimmicky after a while). But, there's a more obvious reason for McDormand's winning for Best Actress that represents the film's biggest gimmick, which critics and the Academy alike fell for hook, line and sinker.  It doesn't matter that this situation is absurd and illogical as long as it gives the impression of 'empowering' women and not the opposite. The Coen brothers, although they deny it, are clearly making a feminist statement, but not a very good one. They don't put McDormand into any situations that challenge her condition. Her capture of the psychotic kidnapper at the end is a little too easy.  But, that aspect is never mentioned because it doesn't matter either. Society is not going to keep her down, no man is going to keep her down and, by God, neither is the biological function of reproduction, no matter what the possible consequences because she's an Independent Woman.  The Coens are preaching to the converted, the blinded who don't have to be convinced of anything that fits into their agenda, and who won't accept anything that shatters their illusions, however truthful it may be. Siskel and Ebert both chose FARGO as the best film of 1996, which shows just how hard people--especially politically correct people--fell for its gimmicks when the truth of the matter is that it's a **1/2 movie at best and not even as good as the Coens' RAISING ARIZONA or another, similar film, RED ROCK WEST.

{% extends "description.html" %} {% set id="lightning"%} {# id must be unique and follow the rules for ids in css https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#characters #} {% set project="Lightning" %} {% set sub_project=False %} {% set simple_desc="A way to send Bitcoin in seconds between friends and merchants"%} {% set details=True %} {% set further_reading=True %} {% block at_a_glance %}
Essentially Lightning is a faster type of Bitcoin transaction, that rather than being sent directly to the Bitcoin network is sent directly to friends, family, and merchants. Later they may choose to move the BTC they received to the Bitcoin network.
Lightning is usable today for small value transactions. When it is mature it will be usable for transactions of most sizes. The Bitcoin network will remain the preferred method for large transactions.
{% endblock at_a_glance %} {% block status %}Lightning is in alpha to beta state which means it works most of the time but may have bugs. Lightning wallets continuously improve in security and quality. The leading Lightning wallets are generally simple and easy to use.
At the moment you should only use small amounts of BTC on Lightning due to risks related to the early nature of the Lightning ecosystem.
{% endblock status %} {% block future %}When Lightning is mature it will be usable for most reasonably sized transactions between friends and merchants and you won't need to worry about your wallet monitoring the Bitcoin network because they all will.
Most importantly when Lightning is mature you may not even know you're using it, you'll just open your wallet and pay. Your wallet will then make a smart decision on how to send the BTC, whether that be on Lightning, on the Bitcoin network, or on another payment system. Some Lightning wallets already do this today.
Of course Bitcoin tech is all about freedom, so if you want to take more fine-grained control over your money you'll be able to do that as well.
{% endblock future %} {% block vs_alts %}Lightning is best thought of as Bitcoin's version of Visa or Mastercard. With this in mind Lightning will enable an experience that's like a debit card with much more privacy.
An important part of Lightning is that its design and development effort is going into making sure that when you buy something no one else is storing your entire shopping history.
Today many companies collect our data and use it manipulate us into purchasing things we don't need and then sell our data to others who really shouldn't have it.
Lightning will make it so that only the buyer and seller know each other and no other parties have access to the transaction. In that way Lightning is private like cash and convenient like a credit card.

Speech
Education Minister Elizabeth Truss speaks to The Spectator’s schools conference.
In 1997 Shakespeare’s Globe was re-established on the South Bank of the Thames after a tireless battle by American actor Sam Wanamaker.
He had thought of the idea while visiting London in 1949. Yet he was to meet fierce resistance.
It’s reported that the leader of Southwark Council in the 1980s asked, and I quote, “What has Shakespeare ever done for Southwark?”.
In February I visited schools across China. In a lesser known city, Wuhan - which you are unlikely to have heard of, although it has 10 million inhabitants - I opened a maths textbook at a random page.
In it, I read about the British mathematician Andrew Wiles - by no means a household name in this country, but honoured in China as the man who solved one of the great mysteries in mathematics, Fermat’s last theorem, in 1994.
I wondered as I looked at it - how many English 14-year-olds would know this? How many Chinese mathematicians do we praise in our textbooks?
Why is it that it takes the Americans and Chinese to celebrate our great intellectual achievements?
For centuries, British brains have made this a better world to live in.
From vaccination to television, the world wide web and ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ - from Newton, Stephenson and Woolf, to Faraday, Lovelace and Berners-Lee - British brains invented the world we live in.
But over the course of the 20th century, some people stopped seeing our intellectual achievements as something to celebrate, and started to take them for granted.
We were told by postmodernist philosophers that everything was relative; a rap song was just as valid as a Shakespeare sonnet.
They attacked the idea that there was any absolute value of knowledge, or beauty - pulled down Euston Arch, stripped knowledge out of curricula in schools and teacher training colleges, embraced trendy concepts like ‘new maths’ - as Tom Lehrer joked, “so very simple, that only a child can do it!”
Of course, those cynics and critics had all benefited from a rigorous education themselves.
And the results of their intellectual vandalism are still with us.
Last year’s OECD adult skills survey provided shocking proof.
England was the only country where the literacy and numeracy of 16- to 24-year-olds - just out of school, right at their educational peak - was no better than that of 55- to 65-year-olds who had finished education decades before.
Compare this to countries from Spain to Poland - where 16- to 24-year-olds are performing far better than their grandparents.
Or Korea, which has achieved universal primary and secondary education in 3 decades - and has seen their position in global rankings jump from the bottom 5, for their population above the age of 55, to the top 5, for their 16- to 24-year-olds.
This government is reforming our education system because it’s more important than it’s ever been.
The growth of the internet has democratised knowledge - not lessened its value, but increased it - and pushed the benchmark for education and skills ever higher.
Everyone - from China to Chile - knows that education is the key to the future.
OECD data shows that the correlation between educational performance and economic growth across the globe increased by a third between 1960 to 1980 and 1980 to 2000. The economic return to skills is increasing. The future will be shaped by businesses not even invented yet.
To have children who can’t navigate around this world because they are let down by bad schools is shameful.
But we don’t need to look far to get an antidote to the postmodernists.
Generation Y - who are entering the workplace now - have been dubbed by the Spectator as the Ab Fab Generation, the sensible Saffys compared to the feckless Edinas.
I like to think of them as the ‘enlightened generation’.
More than any other generation that came before, they understand the world they’re living in - a world of unlimited knowledge, and unlimited horizons.
They are more likely to support self-reliance, as the British Social Attitudes survey shows; less likely to engage in damaging, destructive behaviour, like taking drugs.
They are working hard at school. Attendance is up - 130,000 fewer pupils are regularly missing school under this government - and they care more than ever about getting a good education.
They are voting with their feet to study the sort of high-value subjects which universities and employers prefer.
Record numbers of students are taking A level maths - the subject with the highest future earnings - and further maths. 70% of entrants to Cambridge University now have A level maths.
Record numbers of students are now taking GCSE physics - including almost as many girls as boys, finally shrinking a massive gap. Modern languages are also on the rise.
Young people are ambitious - they want to get on in life. The percentage of young people in England going to university has reached a record high - and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are now 70% more likely to enter university than in 2004.
In an internet age, businesses are getting smaller and reaching further. One single idea can change the whole marketplace; anyone can set up a business in their bedroom, and sell it to Yahoo for $30 million.
According to a recent report, more than half of 16- to 25-year-olds want to set up their own business - and 14% are actually doing it.
They want to make their own way - and they’re eager to do it.
We want to make sure they have all the support and encouragement they need to succeed.
That’s why we are supporting aspirational academies, free schools and centres of excellence where young people can earn their passport to success.
Like the King’s Leadership Academy in Warrington, a new free school I visited a few weeks ago - where every classroom is named after a top university, to encourage young people to aim for the best.
Or our music and dance scheme, which means that talented young performers and musicians from all backgrounds can attend world-class training institutions like the Royal Ballet School, where I saw dancers who had not only achieved top academic grades, but secured contracts with companies from the Bolshoi to the Paris Opera Ballet.
Or the new university-run maths free schools at Exeter and Kings, where gifted young mathematicians will have the chance to learn from experts in their field.
These schools not only benefit their own students; they force every other school to raise their game.
Since 2010, the number of children in failing secondary schools has fallen by 250,000.
This is thanks to the hard work of the best generation of teachers ever - who can now be properly rewarded for the work they do.
But we need to make sure that the core knowledge on which the world is structured - maths, language, grammar - is not some kind of elitist indulgence, but every child’s birthright.
That’s why we are raising expectations across the board; reforming tests at age 11 to make sure all children are literate and numerate. In particular, we’re removing calculators from maths tests in primary - to make sure that every child masters the core arithmetic they need for more demanding maths later on.
New core maths qualifications will encourage all young people to study maths right up to age 18 and beyond - giving thousands more young people the chance to benefit from the boost to future pay packets which only maths can give.
And we’re making it clear that maths is for everyone - you study core maths into A levels, or alongside new, improved vocational qualifications as part of the Technical Baccalaureate, or TechBacc .
But knowledge does not stand still. No nation on the planet can afford to be complacent. You need to keep pushing, keep moving forwards - keep equipping children with the latest skills and knowledge they need to succeed.
Our new national curriculum has introduced languages at 7. And I’m pleased that the Confucius Institute is opening the biggest centre of excellence in the training of Mandarin teachers outside China itself, here in London - the hub of a network of teaching centres around the country.
Our new, advanced computing curriculum is world-beating, with computer programming from age 5 - supported by a network of master computer teachers.
It’s only right that we improve our expectations, because this generation is hungry for knowledge - they are ready to learn.
And therefore it is vital that our country is ready to learn from the best in the world.
It’s simply not good enough to say that we have nothing to learn from the world leaders who are now our competition.
But that’s what Christine Blower, General Secretary of the NUT , did very recently. In her words:
The United Kingdom performs around the average in mathematics and reading… [it’s] similar to Denmark, France, Iceland, New Zealand and Norway. It is ridiculous to suggest that teachers brought in from China will have any more knowledge or expertise than teachers from other countries or indeed our own.
I say to her: average is not good enough.
If you want to see what happens to countries who don’t seek constant improvement - and who give in to the teaching unions on a regular basis - just look over Offa’s Dyke, to Wales.
Which is now, after abandoning national testing, around 40th in maths - significantly lower than the rest of the UK in all subjects.
Even some of the high-performing Scandinavian countries are seeing their absolute results dropping - and like everyone else, they have to be careful of complacency.
Just look at Finland - for so long a top performer, it’s now seeing countries like Poland (which, back in 2000, was a full year of schooling behind) performing at a similar level, and perhaps starting to overtake.
If countries do improve, it doesn’t just happen by chance - it is a conscious, deliberate, sustained effort.
Just look at the German reforms of the 2000s, after their famous ‘ PISA Schock’. Their results forced the country out of complacency, and made them be honest about their educational strengths and weaknesses.
It may have been difficult - and involved major reforms to the school day and curriculum - but it worked, and Germany made huge leaps forward. Even now, they have to watch out, and keep improving - like us, they can’t risk falling behind.
So we are taking every step to drive up standards, right across our education system.
We’re learning from the best, engaging directly with top performers on teacher development and pedagogy.
Our school-led maths hub programme will bring 60 Shanghai teachers to 30 new maths hubs across the country from this September - outstanding schools and great teachers working together to drive up standards in maths teaching. Schools and teachers are already jumping at the chance to get involved – and we’ve received a huge amount of interest.
Teachers will be able to take part in masterclasses on techniques like teaching to the top; setting daily homework and offering regular catch ups to any pupils who are struggling.
This is not a central programme, run out of Whitehall - it’s run by teachers. It is now in schools’ hands how they develop and promote talent. And heads have the power to hire specialist teachers for maths and English in primary to drive up standards still further.
We also want to continue to increase core academic subjects, especially maths, sciences and languages.
Before 2010, the number of pupils studying core academic GCSEs halved.
That trend is now in reverse - almost 50% of pupils took the EBacc last year.
This is vitally important. Encouraging more young people to study core academic subjects is one of the most important ways to help young people from poor backgrounds compete with their more privileged peers.
A study by Edinburgh University showed that choosing subjects like languages, English, maths and science was far more important than whether a child went to an independent, grammar or comprehensive school.
Only around 8% of the advantage transmitted by a middle-class parent to their child was linked to school choice. But subject choice accounted for 23%.
At the moment, not enough of our young people are taking these subjects. More than half of all pupils still don’t take these vital GCSEs .
In Poland and Germany, as in most top performers, all students study these subjects until at least 16.
So I would like that to happen here too.
But there is more we need to do.
Even if we were to import Shanghai’s school system wholesale - we still wouldn’t get Shanghai’s results.
We need extra. We need to deal with England’s persistent tail of poor performance, the stubborn gap in achievement between top and bottom.
Too many children arrive at school with huge gaps in vocabulary, already behind the rest and then fall even further behind.
The problem has deep roots, so we have to dig deep to fix it - and schools need to do more.
Good heads already realise their responsibility.
Great schools in this country - like St Joseph’s Primary, and Great Yarmouth primary, and Folkestone Academy - already go beyond the classroom and playground to help support parents turn their lives around, to work with 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds before they even start school, to visit parents at home, and even help them to get jobs. Or take the Oasis Academy in Hadley - where I saw a full house of parents learning about maths, so that they could better help their children.
That’s why we want state schools - just like independent schools - to offer a longer school day.
More time after school would give all children a richer blend of extracurricular activities and clubs like debating, orchestras, sports teams and cadets; with more time for structured homework sessions, and all the challenge and support which can help young people from the poorest homes achieve just as highly as their peers.
Research on all-day schooling in Germany shows that regular, long-term participation in high-quality extracurricular activities had a positive impact on academic learning.
We’ve already given all academies and free schools the power to extend the school day and term, which we’re giving every other state school as well - and we have made it easier for schools to stay open longer in the evening and offer on-site childcare.
But we want to go further. So as Michael Gove has said, we would like state schools - just like independent schools - to offer a school day 9 or 10 hours long.
In short, I think as a country there’s a growing understanding of what’s gone wrong.
Yes, there are naysayers - those who talk of the “forgotten 50%” as though half the population doesn’t have any academic aptitude whatsoever.
But try telling that to parents in Shanghai or Singapore - where 92% of young people reach a high level of achievement by 15.
Our culture is shifting - we’re valuing intellectual achievement. The Euston Arch is being reimagined. I don’t think anyone would ask today, “What has Shakespeare ever done for Southwark?”.
Not when 1,000 schools took part in the Shakespeare Schools Festival last year; when Shakespeare’s Globe - an independent organisation with no government funding - is one of the largest arts education charities in the UK, reaching more than 100,000 people every year.
And while we are yet to have Andrew Wiles in British textbooks - we do have a Fields Medallist, Professor Tim Gowers, working on new core maths qualifications for 16- to 18-year-olds; and Professor Martin Hyland and the Cambridge University maths department creating advanced materials for post-16 maths in our schools.
Our universities are already world leading.
With the talent we have, there is no reason why our schools can’t be world leading too; why we can’t, like Poland, catch up with and overtake all the best.
We need to be confident about our intellectual strength and humble about learning from others. That is how British education - and the next generation - can succeed.
Thank you.

The Debt Collective | Fight back against your creditors with our free debt dispute tools and community platform


I have been working in hospitality for a VERY long time. Pretty much since I was old enough to have an IRD number. I went to university and completed a degree in Commerce hoping that I might find a job that I would enjoy more than Hospitality, but in the end I went back to it. So my long term goal is really to find a new pathway to soemthing else that I will enjoy more in the long run that has a little more progression in terms of both knowledge and position. In all honesty I don't have a career pathway in mind as long as it lets me constantly upskill while still being able to enjoy what I do (or the job).
What I have always struggled with in life that I have noticed a long time ago, after having worked in hospitality for so long, is that I am unable to control the "panic" stage of my being. An example of that is when I encounter criticism, be it constructive or no, gives me a sense of panic that sends me into a slightly self-deprecating state. I am often unable to control the magnitude of the effects that it leaves me with and am hoping to be able to develop that skill further in EDA as giving and receiving feedback and criticism is an important aspeft of the course and its values.
At first it was hard to recognise my strengths, as I almost always seem to see the limitations that it brings me afterwards but here goes.
My strengths lies in my tenacity and stubborness. As mentioned in the previous cultural blog, I find that I am a determined and passionate person when it comes to the things that I care about. I will always see things through to the end and put everything into it, be it work or leisure. Note that it doesnt mean I dont know how to relax because I dont think anyone is enjoying this quarentine as much as I am right now.
My limitations are inline with my strengths, it is often the by-product of the process if and when it goes wrong. Because I care about my work, I often feel that I can always be doing better, that there is always a better way to do things and communicate them to people in a more effctive way. This may sound like a good thing but when it is constant, even when things don't go wrong, it results in a slight depreciation in self-value.
I will be utilizing the "think like a programmer" model and where possibly apply the "divide workload" tactic. Using that style of work in the course will reduce the amount of "panic" that I will feel from the sheer amount of learning and work that will come of this course. It is within my expectation that this will also increase productivity and will reflect possitively in a team base learning environment.
Meditation, as suggested in sprint 3 and the practice of mindfulness will also be benefitial to pad my downtime (home environment) as well. Making it a habit will help me to separate the parts of my day where different levels of engagement is required.
I am acustomed to seeking help if and when needed. I worked in an extremely high pressure environment with a dynamic team. Not only will I be able to seek out help, I am also able to divide my time so that help can be given as well. I will never try to achieve more than I am physically able and should the situation calls for it, I will speak directly to the person who is most available and relavant to me at that time (be it students and instructors alike).
Possitive energy! I trust that with their experience they will be able to best recognize those who are in need of help and provide suitable advice on how to overcome the problem. I understand that the facilitation team are not councillors and that they are there to help whenever any of us reaches out.
None that I can think of considering I will be quitting my job to go through Bootcamp! My partner works evenings so will see if I can have a couple of evenings off to spend time with them when I can.
