‘Pakistan in better position to attract investment’
by Our CorrespondentLAHORE: Pakistani handmade furniture products have great potential to capture world market with excellent modern designing, said Punjab Governor Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar.
Speaking at the 11th Interiors Pakistan exhibition held at Expo Centre Lahore, he said that Pakistan was moving forward and was in a better position to attract foreign investment. He appreciated the Pakistan Furniture Council (PFC) for creating opportunities for investment in the country by creating business-to-business contacts with foreign furniture producers.
He said the government would fully support the furniture industry to exploit its potential for boosting production and maximising exports worldwide. Sarwar further said that the PTI government aimed to establish strong liaison with this particular sector for thorough understanding of the market conditions and requirements of the industry.
“The PTI will direct the concerned authorities to provide more visible support to the furniture business in terms of simple and easily obtainable grants,” he announced. “This will help the sector to exhibit and attend trade shows and also promote local exports as a success globally.”
Also speaking on the occasion, PFC Chief Executive Mian Kashif Ashfaq said that if the government makes policies according to the suggestions of the sector’s stakeholders it would offer huge opportunities for furniture exporters.

Multiply the following complex numbers:
(A_REP) \cdot (B_REP)
Complex numbers are multiplied like any two binomials.
First use the distributive property:
\qquad (A_REP) \cdot (B_REP) =
(A_REAL_COLORED \cdot B_REAL_COLORED) + (A_REAL_COLORED \cdot B_IMAG_COLOREDi) +
(A_IMAG_COLOREDi \cdot B_REAL_COLORED) + (A_IMAG_COLOREDi \cdot B_IMAG_COLOREDi)
Then simplify the terms:
\qquad (A_REAL * B_REAL) + (A_REAL * B_IMAGi) +
(A_IMAG * B_REALi) + (A_IMAG * B_IMAG \cdot i^2)
Imaginary unit multiples can be grouped together.
\qquad
A_REAL * B_REAL + (A_REAL * B_IMAG + A_IMAG * B_REAL)i + negParens( ( A_IMAG * B_IMAG ) + "i^2" )
After we plug in i^2 = -1
, the result becomes
A_REAL * B_REAL + (A_REAL * B_IMAG + A_IMAG * B_REAL)i - negParens( A_IMAG * B_IMAG )
The result is simplified:
(A_REAL * B_REAL - A_IMAG * B_IMAG) + (ANSWER_IMAGi) = complexNumber( ANSWER_REAL, ANSWER_IMAG)
The real part of the result is ANSWER_REAL
and the imaginary part is ANSWER_IMAG
.


resource popen ( string $command , string $mode )
Opens a pipe to a process executed by forking the command given by command.
Returns a file pointer identical to that returned by fopen(), except that it is unidirectional (may only be used for reading or writing) and must be closed with pclose(). This pointer may be used with fgets(), fgetss(), and fwrite(). When the mode is 'r', the returned file pointer equals to the STDOUT of the command, when the mode is 'w', the returned file pointer equals to the STDIN of the command. If an error occurs, returns FALSE.

Styled Meter
Published:
Last updated:
Cross-browser styling for the HTML meter element.
Pattern Demo
Pattern Details
Pattern Markup

Test 1
<meter class="meter"
low="64"
high="80"
max="100"
value="84"></meter>

The meter
element, like the progress
, is a non-interactive form element that is meant to indicate a current value, within a known range, much like a gauge. For example, a meter
would be the semantically appropriate element to indicate the status of a finite storage limit for a DVR, email or web storage limit.
The meter
element can be styled by use of the following selectors:
meter
-
Styling with the element selector is respected by all browsers without the need for
appearance: none;
. Though Firefox and Webkit / Edge browsers differ a bit in how styling the element will either affect the "background" of the element, or the visual indicator of themeter
's value. ::-moz- and ::-webkit-meter-bar
-
Firefox uses this selector to style the visual indicator of the
meter
's value. Webkit seems to use this to style the "background" of the element. -
::-webkit-meter-optimum-value
:-moz-meter-optimum::-moz-meter-bar
-
Styling for the optimum value of the element.
-
::-webkit-meter-suboptimum-value
:-moz-meter-sub-optimum::-moz-meter-bar
-
Styling for a suboptimal value of the element.
-
::-webkit-meter-even-less-good-value
:-moz-meter-sub-sub-optimum::-moz-meter-bar
-
Styling for a less than suboptimal value for the element.
Affects on Screen Reader Announcements?
The meter
element has no support in Internet Explorer, but is supported in Microsoft Edge. The element has different levels of support in other major browsers, and screen readers can vary quite a bit in how they interpret the element, if at all.
- JAWS 2018 + Edge (latest) and Firefox 63 (nightly)
-
JAWS will completely ignore the existence of
meter
elements, regardless of if they are styled or not. - JAWS 2018 + Chrome (latest)
-
Chrome + JAWS will announce both styled and unstyled
meter
elements and their current value, with no indication of their low, high, or max values. If ameter
is provided an accessible name byaria-label
oraria-labelledby
, it will be completely ignored by JAWS. - NVDA 2018.2.1 + Edge (latest)
-
NVDA will announce a styled
meter
asprogress bar [current value]
.NVDA will not announce an accessible name for the
meter
, soaria-label
andaria-labelledby
are ignored. - NVDA 2018.2.1 + Firefox 63 (nightly)
-
NVDA will announce nothing but the accessible name to
meter
elements, regardless of if they are styled or not. - NVDA 2018.2.1 + Chrome (latest)
-
Chrome + NVDA do not have issues with announcing styled meters unless they are given an accessible name via
aria-label
oraria-labelledby
. Doing so will result in NVDA only announcing the accessible name and none of themeter
's current state. - VoiceOver + Safari 11.1.1 & 12.0 on macOS High Sierra
-
VoiceOver will completely ignore a styled
meter
element unless it has an accessible name set byaria-label
oraria-labelledby
. But even then, VoiceOver will only announce the accessible name and none of themeter
's current state. - VoiceOver + Safari on iOS 11.4 & 12.1
-
VoiceOver will completely ignore the existence of
meter
elements, regardless of if they are styled or not. - TalkBack (Android Accessibility Suite 6.2) + Android Chrome
-
Chrome + TalkBack will completely ignore
meter
elements without an accessible name provided byaria-label oraria-labelledby
. However, even when focusing such an instance, TalkBack will announce[accessible name], meter
with no further announcements of the current values of the element.
Usage note:
As with the progress
element, the meter
element can be restyled with some browser prefixed selectors, but doing so can have significantly adverse affects on how the elements are interpreted by screen readers. Coupled with the fact that Internet Explorer 11 doesn't support meter
at all, and even the unstyled element doesn't have the best screen reader support in the browsers that do render it, it's probably best to not rely on this element alone (or at all).

Creator/destroyer Pollack
By Ross Anthony
Ed Harris paints a striking portrait of this talented artist/butt-hole. A docu-drama (with the accent on drama), "Pollack" follows the ten last years of the life of American abstract artist Jackson Pollack who died in 1956.
It's a story of splashing paint, sobering love, anger, self-doubt and spilt and broken liquor bottles. Filmed in one strong arch-like stroke that peaks in the middle then splatters off the canvas in an untimely manner, the production, like Pollack's life, feels truncated and unfulfilled.
Paced well, aside from a laboriously slow introduction, Harris is intoxicating. Marcia Gay Harden, as his lover, endless supporter, is as steadfast as a whipping post. It's great to see Bud Cort again (Harold and Maude) though his bright-eyed smile too soon leaves the screen. Kilmer's brief appearance adds little.
I loved the artistic moments of creation.  Harris finally finds inspiration to contrast his stillness with sharp confident motion pulling the emotions from his chest to the end of his brush. Simply awesome, simply beautiful.
When asked, "How do you know you're finished with a painting?" Pollack replies with a question, "How do you know when you're finished making love?"
But more often than not, this portrayal captures a bottle at the end of his arm, not a paintbrush. And an unforgivably belligerent mood, that rushes like red pigment into the lives of those around him.
Probably an excellent depiction ... if so, Jackson seems a man, I'd have not enjoyed getting to know. Hence, this intimate movie ... of me will not a friend make.

The hilarious tantrum Queen Elizabeth threw during a French lesson
by Lesego MkhizeCape Town - Growing up, we all had that one class we hated attending – and well, so did Queen Elizabeth!
While the 93-year-old is good at keeping herself well-composed publicly, when she was younger she disliked taking French lessons so much that one day she had an outburst, Express reports.
According to a memoir written by the monarch’s late governess and educator, Marion Crawford, when the Queen was younger she could no longer contain her frustration with learning the language after she was forced to write an endless list of verbs.
And while Queen Elizabeth is fluent in speaking French, during the strenuous exercise she decided to tip an inkpot over her head while no one was watching, according to The Telegraph.
"...Goaded by her boredom to violent measures, [she] had picked up a big ornamental silver inkpot and, without saying anything, tipped it over her own head," Marion recalled in the memoir.
"There she sat, with ink trickling down her face and dyeing her golden curls blue."

The following recipe is an effective remedy for a common malady.
Tip: I recommend making up a big pot of the lovely gruelly goo and using it to treat a variety of wretched and woe-inducing medical conditions. If you lack the patience to do so, and are instead making wild and witless guesses, you will find the correct answer at Mustard Plaster.


Spring 4
06 Dec 2014A bit of history
The Spring Framework was first released in 2004; since then there have been significant major revisions:
- Spring 2.0 provided XML namespaces and AspectJ support
- Spring 2.5 embraced annotation-driven configuration
- Spring 3.0 introduced a strong Java 5+ foundation across the framework codebase, and features such as the Java-based @Configuration model.
Version 4.0 is the latest major release of the Spring Framework and the first to fully support Java 8 features. You can still use Spring with older versions of Java, however, the minimum requirement has now been raised to Java SE 6. We have also taken the opportunity of a major release to remove many deprecated classes and methods.
Highlights
- Java 8
- Conditional bean definitions
- Autowiring with Generics
- New baseline (JDK6) & deprecated stuff drops
- Spec upgrades: JMS 2.0, JTA 1.2, JPA 1.2, BeanValidation 1.1, JSR-236 Concurrency
- Lambda support taking place of annonymous function blocks
- Repeatable annotations (only possible with JDK8)
- Spring formatting framework supporting new Java Date & Time API
- Messaging and WebSocket support
- Testing annotations as Meta Annotations
Java 8 support
- Support for lambda expressions & method references with Spring callback interfaces.
- First class support to java.time
- JSR-310 Date and Time
- Repeatable annotations
- Parameter name discovery
- Compatibility with Java 6 & 7 maintained.
Conditional
Scenario: If 'servicedefault' environment variable is set, use Impl1
otherwise use Impl2
Using @Configuration
Using BeanProfiles (Spring 3.1)
Using @Conditional. Depends on a set of Condition
classes to specify the predicates.
Testing meta annotations
If we discover that we are repeating the following configuration across our JUnit-based test suite:
We can reduce it by introducing a custom composed annotation:
Then we can use our custom @TransactionalDevTest annotation to simplify the configuration of individual test classes:
Groovy Bean Definition DSL
- Bean configuration using Groovy DSL
Sample:
Removed deprecated stuff
Generics-based injection matching
- Spring 3.x ignores the generic type.
- Readability + Expressiveness
Container improvements
- Composable annotation with overridable attributes (e.g. custom scope annotation with proxyModule attribute)
- Conditional bean definitions
@Conditional
(e.g. Enable for specific profiles). Foundation for Spring Boot @Autowired
and@Lazy
on injection points - Requesting a lazy-initialization proxy individually per injection point- Target-class proxies for classes with arbitrary constructors - CGLib proxies using Objenesis, not invoking any constructor
WebSocket, SockJS, and STOMP Messaging
org.springframework.messaging
module
- Message and Channels abstraction
- Endpoints using generic messaging patterns
Websockets support on Spring MVC:
- Support for raw WebSocket handling
- Flexible endpoints through native server support (Tomcat 7/8, Jetty 9, Glassfish 4, Wildfly 8)
- Transparent SockJS fallback option
- STOMP for higher-level messaging on top of WebSocket channel
Spring API examples
JDBCTemplate
- PreparedStatementSetter
void setValues(PreparedStatement ps) throws SQLException
- RowMapper
Object mapRow(ResultSet rs, int rowNum) throws SQLException
Lambda
Method reference
Date and Time
- Spring formatting framework supports java 8 date and time (JSR-310)
Repeatable annotations
Parameter name discovery
- Advanced reflection support
- Parameter names on interfaces
- Spring's
DefaultParameterNameDiscoverer
- ASM (bytecode manipulation based)
- Java 8 parameter reflection
Web improvements
spring-websocket
modulespring-messaging
module adds support for STOMP
Testing Improvements
- Almost all annotations in the spring-test module can be used as meta-annotations to create composed annotations (reduce configuration duplication) (e.g.,
@ContextConfiguration
,@WebAppConfiguration
,@ContextHierarchy
,@ActiveProfiles
, etc.) - Active Bean definition profiles can be resolved programatically implementing a custom
ActiveProfilesResolver
and registering it via theresolver
attribute of@ActiveProfiles
- New
SocketUtils
class was introduced tospring-core
. Enables scan free TCP / UDP ports on localhost. org.springframework.mock.web
based on the Servlet 3.0 API (e.g.,MockHttpServletRequest
,MockServletContext
, etc.)

PhillyScript is a project that is meant to create a programming language that reflects the vernacular used by the people of Philadelphia. Additionally, it serves as a way to experiment with new ways to viewing and interacting with programming languages.
The goal of PhillyScript is to be highly symbolic, using a number of operators and introducing new ones in order to make the code easier to visualize rather than read as a straight set of words. The goal is to enable developers to write a code flow that can be read quicker. One of the key theories of this language is that concise code is readable code.
In order to make sure PhillyScript can run in any environment, it is designed to transpile to JavaScript, enabling it to run in a web browser or other applications on modern operating systems. Much like the word jawn, variables in JavaScript can represent any type dynamically.
You can use the editor below to try out PhillyScript for yourself. Then you can view the JavaScript output and copy that into your application. The goal is to have full interop with JavaScript, meaning a developer can slowly port their code to PhillyScript without having to go all at once.
Node.js servers are asynchronous, so they are not designed to handle return calls. Instead, you are often passed a callback that you need to run in order to 'end' your function. To reduce boilerplate, PhillyScript introduces custom pipes. These allow a developer to predefine certain functions to run on a string that is represented in backticks.
app.get('/', (req, res) => { res.status(200).send('Hello World') })
This can be simplified like as shown below, with transpiler directives:
#``res.status(200).send($arg)` // ... app.get('/', () => { ``Hello World` })
The transpiler will associate two backticks with your pre-defined function and replace later instances of the usage with your longer callback implementation.
One of the more common mistakes in programming is having one too few equal signs in a conditional. Instead of checking if foo == bar, you write the assignment foo = bar, which changes the value of foo and returns true always. To alleviate this issue, assignments in PhillyScript use a colon and an equal sign, akin to Go.
It is also possible, although perhaps less recommended, to solely use a colon for assignment, much like assignment for an object
It's important to note that a standalone equal sign will be removed by the transpiler, causing the resultant code to have syntax errors.
jawn* foo := 'bar' foo : 'bars' if (foo == 'bar') { // ... }
The new async and await features of JavaScript are convenient, but also feel shoved into the language for backwards compatibilty. If we could start from scratch, we could introduce some improvements to the way that asynchronous functions are written.
Instead of having to prepend every function call with await, you can now append each call with an octothorpe. This cleans up the syntax that you look at while making the appending character notably different from a semicolon.
Instead of having to denote each function as async, you can also use the octothorpe to denote that it is asynchronous.
fun delayPromise { return new Promise(resolve => { setTimeout(() => { resolve(); }, 2000); }); } fun# wait { :) calling jawn result := delayPromise()# :) result // Prints 'calling', then 'result' after a delay } wait()
Syntax for functions is slightly easier. In addition to defining async functions faster with the octothorpe, functions can be defined just with fun, because they are fun.
There are also a few shortcuts for functions without parameters. Instead of explicitly mentioning that there are zero arguments, you can just define the implementation with curly brackets.
As such, objects are now defined as being wrapped in left/right carats. Curly brackets are optionally wrapped inside the carats. Child objects within the object are still defined with curly brackets.
fun x { return 0 } const y := { return 0 } fun z(arg1, arg2) { return <key: 'value'> }
Constructors are generally unchanged, as you still use the new keyword and then you pass parameters. However, if you are creating an object with the default constructor, which does not have any parameters, you can use a simplified form that includes the @ symbol.
boul A { } jawn x @ A
Classes are typically based on a superclass with the extends keyword, but in PhillyScript this is replaced by arrow notation.
boul A {} boul B <- A {} jawn x @ B :) ${ x ~ B } // Prints true :) ${ x ~ A } // Prints true
Symbols are a feature of the JavaScript language which enable values that are unique and have a value of their own name. They can be created with the Symbol.for and the Symbol.keyFor methods.
To reduce the verbosity and make this feature easier to use, new syntax is added which is inspired from Elixir's atoms type.
jawn x := :hello // Creates a new symbol of type hello :) ${ :x: } // Prints the key of the symbol, which is 'hello'
The tilde, ~, is a symbol that lives on the keyboard but is rarely used. It appears in a handful of languages like C++ but is otherwise unused. In this language the symbol is used in a number of situations.
Float comparison can match two floats that are similar to one another by wrapping the Math.round function:
jawn float1 := 4.1; jawn float2 := 3.9; :) ${ float1 ~~ float2 } // Prints true
The instanceof method can be simplified with the tilde.
boul A { } boul B <- A { } jawn b := new B() :) ${ b~B } // Prints true
The destruction of variables is not often necessary in Javascript, as there is a garbage collector, but Phillyscript still makes it easier to destroy variables. This is equivalent to the delete command in Javascript.
jawn* a := jawns(1,2,3); :) ${ a[1] } // Prints 2 ~a :) ${ a[1] } // Throws an error
The slice method can quickly grab part of a string or an array, but this method can be accessed faster using array accessors, which is inspired from Python's accessors.
jawn a := 'Hello world' :) ${ a[2:5] } // Prints llo jawn b := jawns(1,2,3,4) :) ${ b[1:3] } // Prints [2,3]
This also enables you to ignore one of the boundaries to default to either the start or the end of the item if that argument is not included.
jawn a := jawns(0,1,2,3,4,5) :) ${ a[:3] } // Prints [0,1,2] :) ${ a[3:] } // Prints [3,4,5]
In addition to better ranges, for loops are now easier to setup with cleaner syntax, modeled after for loops in Matlab.
for (jawn i = 0:5:100) { :) ${i} }
That code snippet should print out i between 0 and 100 in increments 5. The step value can be omitted if the step is 1.
In order to specify a decrementing loop, where the value decrements by a set amount, the colons will need to be replaced by semicolons.
for (jawn i = 100;5;0) { :) ${i} }
This is equivalent to for (let i = 100; i >= 0; i -= 5). Like in the case above, if the step is omitted, -1 will be used by default.
If you want a value to increment to infinity, you can use three periods. This will result in an infinite loop, so be sure to use a break condition.
for (jawn i = 0:...) { :) ${i} if (maybe) { break; } }
While you can easily add and multiply individual numbers, you can't do that easily to a whole array of numbers in standard JavaScript. A new language feature is dot or item-iterative arithmetic, which will apply the operation to every item in the array. These operations do not happen in place; they return a new array.
jawn a := jawns(0,1,2,3,4,5) :) ${ a .* 5 } // Prints [0,5,10,15,20,25] :) ${ a .+ 2 } // Prints [2,3,4,5,6,7] :) ${ a[4:5] .% 3 } // Prints 1
In some math applications, you want to do integer divison, where 5/2 is going to result in 2, since you only want the integer part. At the same time, you may want the remainder of that operation. A new math operation, // will return an array with both the integer and the remainder.
jawn result := 5 // 2 :) ${result} // Returns [2, 1]
The factorial expression is one in which a number factorial is the product of itself along with every positive integer less than itself. It is not part of the standard JavaScript math library, but it is now a built in feature of the language.
:) ${ 5! } // Prints 120
In math, the sign ≫ and ≪ are used for 'much greater-than' and 'much less-than'. Although these inequalities are not features of JavaScript, they have been implemented in this language for easier checking of magnitude. In this specification, a number is said to be much greater-than if it is at least 10 times as large. This can be exclusive with the symbol << or inclusive with the symbol <<=.
jawn a := 10 jawn b := 100 jawn c := 101 :) ${ c >> a } // Prints true :) ${ b >>= a } // Prints true :) ${ a << c } // Prints true
A custom magnitude can be specified by inserting the magnitude between the carats.
jawn a := 10 jawn b := 20 jawn c := 21 :) ${ a <2< c } // Prints true :) ${ a <2< b } // Prints false
As the double carat sign is now used for much greater-than and much less-than, the bit-shifting operators are now represented by a dot in front of carats.
:) ${ 2 .<< 4 } // Prints 32 :) ${ 32 .>> 4 } // Prints 2
In our modern world, things are not always black and white. Sometimes the truth is somewhere in the middle. As such, a simple `true`/`false` boolean may not always be what you want. Instead, your data may be one or the other. Like Schrodinger's cat, it may be both at the same time.
A third value can be used for a boolean, `maybe`. By assigning a variable to be `maybe`, it is both true and false. It only becomes one of the two once the variable is observed, such as if it is printed or used in a conditional.
This can be a standalone keyword, but it can also be a weighted maybe by providing a weight as a float in parenthesis after the maybe.
jawn cat := maybe if (cat) { :) Sometimes this is true } else { :) Sometimes this is false } jawn weight := maybe(0.8) if (weight) { :) Usually this is true } else { :) Usually this is false }
Logging is often used for debugging, and sometimes as output in command line applications. The entire command `console.log` doesn't do a great job describing the value of this output. If you're logging normal data, then it's probably a good value. If you log an error, it's a bad value. We can make this code more clear this way.
:) Something good happened :| Here's a warning :( Something bad happened
The compiler converts the statements above to console.log, console.warn, and console.error respectively. These statements also support string templates, so you can do:
:) Our output is ${output} >:( Error: ${error}
When you run into a number of errors during programming, you're going to get angry. You can alleviate frustration using the `fak` keyword. Again, this will automatically incorporate string templates for you.
jawn cat := true if (cat) { >:( Why is this true? fak! this should not be true }
Not sure what is happening? You can just insert `haha, yeah` into your scripts. This doesn't do anything, but you can use it as a no-op if you're so inclined.
:) haha, yeah // Prints nothing

U.S. MARSHALS (Warner Bros.) Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes, Robert Downey Jr., Joe Pantoliano, Irene Jacob. Screenplay: John Pogue. Producers: Arnold Kopelson and Anne Kopelson. Director: Stuart Baird. MPAA Rating: PG-13 (violence, profanity) Running Time: 127 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
Some articles about U.S. MARSHALS have been referring to it as a "sequel" to 1993's THE FUGITIVE; others have employed the more generous term "follow-up." But let's cut to the chase here...U.S. MARSHALS is a spin-off. In THE FUGITIVE, U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) was a supporting character in his businesslike pursuit of innocent afoot Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford), providing counterpoint to the central story of Kimble's efforts to find his wife's killer and clear his name. Five years and a Supporting Actor Oscar later, Jones' Gerard has been deemed worthy of his own showcase while pursuing another accused murderer who maintains his innocence, former government agent Mark Sheridan (Wesley Snipes). Accompanied by his loyal team of fellow marshals and a mysterious tag-along Fed named Royce (Robert Downey Jr.), Gerard begins a man-hunt from the Midwest to Manhattan.
Before the word "spin-off" and its accompanying visions of "The Ropers" and "Joanie Loves Chachi" sends you into screaming early-80s flashbacks, it should be clear that there are far worse supporting characters around whom to build a story, and far worse actors. Jones slips back into Gerard's no-excuses professionalism without missing a beat, barking orders or wearing a big chicken costume with equal levels of commitment if that's what it takes to get the job done. It's not that Gerard doesn't work at all as a lead character; it's just that he worked so much better as a supporting character. Placing Gerard onboard during the plane crash where Sheridan escapes feels like a forced attempt to turn him into a super-cop, while motivating him with vengeance late in the film diminishes a character who's plenty motivated by pride in his work. Fiddling and fussing with Gerard ignores what was most interesting about him in THE FUGITIVE: his simple, uncomplicated, un-tormented intelligence and resolve as a law enforcement agent.
Still, he holds up his end of the chase far better than his adversary. THE FUGITIVE won over audiences by creating a rooting interest in Kimble, an Everyman trying to get his life back. Well, Sheridan is no Everyman -- he's "former Special Forces, former Black Ops" (and these days, what action film character worth his salt isn't?). That should make him a more challenging assignment for Gerard, except Sheridan never seems to be thinking hard enough or working hard enough to clear his name. Every time he turns up in U.S. MARSHALS, it's like the camera has just stumbled upon him, even as he hopes to just stumble upon whoever set him up. With energy diverted to making Gerard a more "well-rounded" character, Wesley Snipes is left to wander around the film like a half-forgotten plot device.
Director Stuart Baird, who created a solid but unspectacular action effort in EXECUTIVE DECISION, has done a similar job crafting the action in U.S. MARSHALS. With the exception of the big spectacular plane crash to match THE FUGITIVE's big spectacular train crash, he rarely goes out of his way to top his predecessor; the action simply moves along competently despite a few sluggish editing choices. Overall, however, U.S. MARSHALS just isn't a very smart film. Grainy flashbacks assume no one in the audience can remember back half an hour, characters are careless when it's convenient for them to be and a convoluted tangle of international espionage keeps distracting the audience from the mano-a-mano which should drive the story. Actually, THE FUGITIVE had a few similar problems, but it got you so involved in the characters that those problems were easy to overlook. U.S. MARSHALS is a generic vehicle patterned after a successful parent, one which doesn't use the characters the way they could be used best. That, my friends, is a spin-off. And one less like "Frasier" than it is like "AfterM*A*S*H."
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 marshal plans: 5.

Application Containers
Lab 4: Application Root Clones and Application Compatibility
Overview
In this lab we explore an important
implementation detail of upgrades within Application Container. Application
Root Clones are used to provide continuous availability of Application PDBs
during the upgrade of the master Application Root. The Application Root Clones
serve metadata and common data. There are no Services associated with an
Application Root Clone. Therefore it is not possible
to connect to an Application Root Clone. However, they are visible, as we shall
see in this lab. After the upgrade has completed and all Application PDBs have
been synced it is possible to drop these Application Root Clones. This is achieved
by setting Application Compatibility to a higher level than the Application
version associated with the Clone. When this has happened, the Application Root
Clone is of no further use and is dropped. Let's get started!
Execution
- Open a terminal window
- Change directory to /u01/HOL/app_containers/
- source the environment. At command prompt execute source cdb1.env
- sqlplus /nolog
- At the SQL prompt execute<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Review of Application Container Lab4:
In this lab, we have seen the Application Root Clones, automatically created during the application upgrade. By setting Application Compatible to a version greater than that of the Application Root Clones, they are no longer required and are automatically dropped.
Detailed Steps
Phase 1. Show containers in CDB1.
The Application Container has a rather cryptic name! Notice also wmStore_Master$Seed – the application Seed PDB.
Phase 2. Connect to Master Application Root and attempt to set application compatible to version 2.0.
Notice the error message. v2.0 is an invalid version for Application Compatibility because there is still an Application PDB – NYC – which is not yet at this version. The following query can identify which PDBs are yet to be upgraded. Here we see that two PDBs – NYC and wmStore_Master$Seed – are still at v1.0. We shall explore more DBA Views relevant to Application Containers in Lab 9. Let's sync the remaining Application PDB, so that all franchises are at v2.0. We also need to upgrade the Application Seed PDB.
Phase 3. Upgrade remaining PDBs to v2.0.
All Application PDBs are now at v2.0. We should now be able to set Application Compatibility to v2.0 with no problem. Now, let's confirm that Application Root Replicas have been removed.

Hi! I am a Ph.D. candidate with Prof. Anna Krylov , working on the development and application of electronic structure theory. We actively develop Equation-of-Motion Coupled Cluster theory (EOM-CCSD) to study electronically excited states in molecules.
I am also intrested in physical simulations on quantum devices. With Prof. James Daniel Whitfield , we explore the abilities and limitations of classical and quantum resources to simulate quantum chemistry.
I hope you find something useful here.


You've finished creating the Orders API, and now it's time to create one for Products.
The steps to get started with the Products API are the same as our previous step where we created the Orders API.
Again you can use Visual Studio 2017 to create a new project in the src\2. Services\APIs\Microsoft.Knowzy.ProductsAPI
folder.
Go ahead and implement the Products API endpoints, using Visual Studio 2017 to test locally.
Implement the following methods in the Products API that are used by the website: - Get all products - Get Product by id (includes product stock availability) - Add new product
Again: you have access to an end version of the APIs for your reference in the azurecompleted
branch of the KnowzyInternalApps
repo to help.
Like before, package the Products API using Visual Studio, then continue to Task 4.1.4 - Create Docker images.

Hello, I'm
I'm a Wyncoder from New York City. I enjoy putting together creative content, as well as working with creative individuals and brands. I turn disastrous websites/mobile apps into seamless, asethic, clean designs. When I'm not coding you can find me where its always sunny at the beach on Miami Beach, Florida.

Heidi Zak is the co-founder of ThirdLove. Prior to ThirdLove, Zak cut her teeth in retail at Aeropostale where she quickly rose to Director of the retail giant, launching and running the International Division, before moving over to marketing at Google. Zak holds an undergraduate degree in Economics from Duke University and an MBA from MIT Sloan. In her free time she loves spending time with her two kids, breaking a sweat in bootcamp class, and cooking with ingredients from San Francisco's farmers markets.
Heidi is an alumna of Duke, but not of BOW.
What has been your favorite part about building ThirdLove?
Having a vision and building something from nothing is incredibly rewarding. What started as an idea — helping women find a better-fitting bra from the comfort of their own home — is now a thriving business, one we’re touching millions of women across the country.
My proudest accomplishment is creating our 24/7 Classic T-shirt Bra. Hearing directly from our customers how much they love it and how it’s so comfortable they fall asleep in it makes it all worth it.
What inspired you to co-found a business?
ThirdLove was founded to solve a problem that every woman faces — bra shopping. A few years ago, it was time for me to go bra shopping and refresh my lingerie drawer, and as usual I was dreading it. I disliked the entire process — finding time to drive to a store, getting “fitted”, trying on a ton of bras to find one that fit, and then having the bra fall apart after just a few washes.
I thought to myself, there has to be a better way to do this. With my background in technology and retail, I knew I could find a way to use technology to solve the fit issues many women experience, and a way to design beautiful, high-quality bras that actually fit real women’s bodies.
How has your role within the company evolved over time?
At first, Dave (my husband and ThirdLove’s Co-Founder) and I were doing everything ourselves. Now, we’re a team of 50+ members in our new San Francisco headquarters, and hiring rapidly, giving me more time to focus on recruiting and managing the best people and setting overall strategy.
As we’ve grown and added to our team, we’ve chosen to focus on hiring people who are smarter than us — it’s all about building a strong, passionate and engaged team around you. You should spend your time on parts of the business that are your core strengths, and fill in your team with others who bring different perspective or skills to the table. It’s a constant balance of wanting to be involved in everything, but knowing I can’t be — and that’s okay.
What is the most difficult obstacle you have faced in your career?
One of the most difficult decisions I’ve had to make was leaving Google to start ThirdLove. Google was a fantastic company, with super smart people, great benefits and was an incredibly stable job. I loved it — but I was too comfortable. And, I believe that to get into leadership positions you have to make yourself uncomfortable. So, I quit my well-paying job to start my own company. Being a leader is rewarding, exciting and stressful — all in the course of an average day.
What advice would you have for those interested in starting their own companies someday?
Be tenacious and don’t take “no” for an answer. When I was at MIT Sloan, I wanted to get a job in retail for the summer, but no retail companies came to campus and there were very few retail companies that even took summer MBA interns. But I knew that I had to get retail experience that summer to have a chance at a great full-time offer after school, so I put together a list of the top 20 companies in NYC that I was interested in, sent my resumes to each, and cold-called each company one-by-one until I got the answer I wanted. I was connected with the SVP of New Business Development at Aeropostale, eventually securing a summer internship and then a full-time job a year later.

I miss being surrounded my friends all the time. Having someone to study with or hang out with was only a few steps away in the next dorm room. To this day my closest 6 girlfriends are all from Duke, and one was even in the same freshman dorm (Randolph!). Now we’re bi-coastal with most living in the NYC area and the others in California.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Hopefully running a multi-billion dollar women’s specialty retailer - ThirdLove!
ThirdLove is an innovative bra and underwear brand that believes fit should come first. In addition to offering signature ½-cupTM sizes to provide a more precise fit, ThirdLove has developed a FitFinder™ that empowers a woman to find her best size and style from home. By using real women’s measurements in their design process, ThirdLove is able to consider the unique needs of diverse body sizes and shapes and deliver on its mission to create bras that fit real women.

A CHRISTMAS STORY A film review by Chad Polenz Copyright 1997 Chad Polenz
*** (out of 4 = good) 1983, PG, 94 minutes [1 hour, 34 minutes] [comedy] Starring: Peter Billingsley (Ralph Parker), Melinda Dillon (Mrs. Parker), Darren McGavin (Mr. Parker), Jean Shepherd (Narrator), written by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown, Bob Clark, produced by Rene Dupont, directed by Bob Clark.
Truly great Christmas films have much nostalgia to them. "A Christmas Story" is definitely one of the best because it will remind anyone of their childhood - begging their parents and Santa Claus to bring them something they wanted so bad. This is a story of one boy's dream of the Ultimate Christmas Present.
The story revolves around Ralph Parker (Billingsley), a boy in fourth grade in 1950s middle America, where everything is alright and where "Leave It To Beaver" might take place. This movie uses a technique that isn't used anymore: an older man (Shepherd) narrating his childhood. The approach works well as we can get inside Ralph and know how he thinks and feels.
Ralph wants to a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Of course Ralph's parents and other adults are worried.  When asked to write a "theme" for class, he writes about how happy getting the gun would make him and how he'll be careful. There is a great scene where he imagines he gets the paper back and the teacher gives him an A with a thousand pluses on it, while the other children applaud him and carry him like a king. This is great storytelling because all kids (well... at least boys) have these kinds of fantasies, but so few films play upon them so well.
But the film is not just about the want for that gun, it's about being a kid in America. We see Ralph and his friends constantly daring each other, one such incident leading to a tongue frozen to a flagpole - that's so true! There's also his little bratty brother always falling behind and whining (isn't that all little brothers exist for?). There are even two bullies who torment Ralph and his friends.
Somehow Ralph survives Advent, but then gets himself into big trouble when he uses "the F word."  Is there any way Ralph will get that BB gun now?
"A Christmas Story" is not a landmark in film history, but it is a good movie. The atmosphere, the acting, and the directing all add up to a good, quality family movie that isn't cliche, cheesy, or even preachy. Overall, it is one of the most original Christmas movies ever.

A db-spec has the form of a speclist:
[
spec1, ..., specM]
(
argspec1, ..., argspecN)
+
| -
A spec F(
argspec1, ..., argspecN)
is
applicable to any nonvar term with principal functor
F/N.
When storing a term T we generate a hash code for every
applicable spec in the db-spec, and a reference to T is stored
with each of them. (More precisely with each element of the set of
generated hash codes). If T contains nonvar elements on each
+
position in the spec, then the hash code depends on each of
these elements. If T does contain some variables on
+
position, then the hash code depends only on the functor
of T.
When fetching a term Q we look for an applicable spec for
which there are no variables in Q on positions maked
+
. If no applicable spec can be found a domain error is raised.
If no spec can be found where on each +
position a nonvar
term occurs in Q an instantiation error is raised.
Otherwise, we choose the the spec with the most +
postitions in
it breaking ties by choosing the leftmost one.
The terms that contain nonvar terms on every +
postition will be looked up using indexing based on the principal
functor of the term and the principal functor of
terms on +
postitions. The other (more general)
terms will be looked up using an indexing based on the principal
functor of the term only.
As can be seen, storing and fetching terms with variables on
+
positions are not vigorously supported operations.


Flink Community Update - September'19
September 5, 2019 - Marta Paes (@morsapaes)This has been an exciting, fast-paced year for the Apache Flink community. But with over 10k messages across the mailing lists, 3k Jira tickets and 2k pull requests, it is not easy to keep up with the latest state of the project. Plus everything happening around it. With that in mind, we want to bring back regular community updates to the Flink blog.
The first post in the series takes you on an little detour across the year, to freshen up and make sure you’re all up to date.
The Year (so far) in Flink #
Two major versions were released this year: Flink 1.8 and Flink 1.9; paving the way for the goal of making Flink the first framework to seamlessly support stream and batch processing with a single, unified runtime. The contribution of Blink to Apache Flink was key in accelerating the path to this vision and reduced the waiting time for long-pending user requests — such as Hive integration, (better) Python support, the rework of Flink’s Machine Learning library and…fine-grained failure recovery (FLIP-1).
The 1.9 release was the result of the biggest community effort the project has experienced so far, with the number of contributors soaring to 190 (see The Bigger Picture). For a quick overview of the upcoming work for Flink 1.10 (and beyond), have a look at the updated roadmap!
Integration of the Chinese-speaking community #
As the number of Chinese-speaking Flink users rapidly grows, the community is working on translating resources and creating dedicated spaces for discussion to invite and include these users in the wider Flink community. Part of the ongoing work is described in FLIP-35 and has resulted in:
- A new user mailing list<EMAIL_ADDRESS>dedicated to Chinese-speakers.
In case you’re interested in knowing more about this work in progress, Robert Metzger and Fabian Hueske will be diving into “Inviting Apache Flink’s Chinese User Community” at the upcoming ApacheCon Europe 2019 (see Upcoming Flink Community Events).
Improving Flink’s Documentation #
Besides the translation effort, the community has also been working quite hard on a Flink docs overhaul. The main goals are to:
- Organize and clean-up the structure of the docs;
Given that there has been some confusion in the past regarding unclear definition of core Flink concepts, one of the first completed efforts was to introduce a Glossary in the docs. To get up to speed with the roadmap for the remainder efforts, you can refer to FLIP-42 and the corresponding umbrella Jira ticket.
Adjusting the Contribution Process and Experience #
The guidelines to contribute to Apache Flink have been reworked on the website, in an effort to lower the entry barrier for new contributors and reduce the overall friction in the contribution process. In addition, the Flink community discussed and adopted bylaws to help the community collaborate and coordinate more smoothly.
For code contributors, a Code Style and Quality Guide that captures the expected standards for contributions was also added to the “Contributing” section of the Flink website.
It’s important to stress that contributions are not restricted to code. Non-code contributions such as mailing list support, documentation work or organization of community events are equally as important to the development of the project and highly encouraged.

The Bigger Picture #
Flink continues to push the boundaries of (stream) data processing, and the community is proud to see an ever-increasingly diverse set of contributors, users and technologies join the ecosystem.
In the timeframe of three releases, the project jumped from 112 to 190 contributors, also doubling down on the number of requested changes and improvements. To top it off, the Flink GitHub repository recently reached the milestone of 10k stars, all the way up from the incubation days in 2014.
The activity across the user@ and dev@1 mailing lists shows a healthy heartbeat, and the gradual ramp up of user-zh@ suggests that this was a well-received community effort. Looking at the numbers for the same period in 2018, the dev@ mailing list has seen the biggest surge in activity, with an average growth of 2.5x in the number of messages and distinct users — a great reflection of the hyperactive pace of development of the Flink codebase.
In support of these observations, the report for the financial year of 2019 from the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) features Flink as one of the most thriving open source projects, with mentions for:
- Most Active Visits and Downloads
Hats off to our fellows at Apache Beam for an astounding year, too! For more detailed insights, check the full report.

House damaged by fire on Pine Lily Drive in Fort Myers early Monday
by WFTX Digital TeamFORT MYERS, Fla. -- A Fort Myers home was damaged by fire early Monday, but no injuries are reported.
It happened around 5:45 a.m. Monday at a home on Pine Lily Drive at Forest River Lane. That's just off A and W Bulb Road near McGregor Boulevard.
The Fox 4 Breaking News Tracker was the only media at the scene.
According to Iona-McGregor Fire, the fire started in the back of the garage. Two people and two dogs were home at the time, but everybody got out safely.
The residents say they smelled smoke and their smoke alarm went off, so they evacuated the house.
