The CPF (Canadian Patrol Frigate) Project was a landmark in
Canadian Naval History. For the first time a private contractor
assumed Total Systems Integration Responsibility for the design,
construction, integration and through life support of a class of
warships.
The Canadian Navy was provided with a complete package: twelve
fully operational frigates, backed by Integrated Logistics
Support, produced with maximum benefit to Canadian industry,
within a strict schedule at a fixed ceiling price.
To meet the CPF challenge a Centre of Excellence was developed
comprising hundreds of professionals in a variety of disciplines.
This experienced team handled responsibilities in the following
areas.

Mine Sweeping Gear
Pollution Control
Diving and Recovery
Signal data from payloads is routed through pre-installed cabling
and fibre optics to be displayed in the Operations Room and
Bridge.
Simpler modules can also be installed. MCDV's general cargo
carrying capacity and its ability to export Electrical Power make
it ideally suited to provide disaster relief in remote areas.
For insertion or interdiction duties, MCDV can be fitted with
handling gear to deploy a fast assault craft from its aft end.

If you need to read HTML pages generated by other web applications and return them to JavaScript, you can quite simply.
Just include the following method in some Java class that is exported using DWR:
public String getInclude() throws ServletException, IOException { return WebContextFactory.get().forwardToString("/forward.jsp"); }
Obviously you should replace "/forward.jsp"
with the URL that you wish to forward to. The URL will need to start with a slash since this is just calling HttpRequest.forward()
under the covers.
You can use this method to customize the page before you pass it on if you wish.

Scientists use Hawaii telescope to spot water vapor on distant moon
by HNN StaffHONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - NASA scientists using a telescope atop Mauna Kea have confirmed the presence of water vapor on the surface of Europa, one of Jupiter’s 79 moons.
The find almost certainly means the moon has liquid water, an essential ingredient for life.
In fact, scientists believe that there’s a liquid water ocean on Europa beneath a miles-thick ice shell that has twice as much water as all of the oceans on Earth.
Lucas Paganini, a NASA planetary scientist who led the water detection investigation, said two of the three requirements for life ― essential chemical elements and sources of energy ― are found all over the solar systems. "But the third — liquid water — is somewhat hard to find beyond Earth,” he said.
Finding water vapor on Europa, he said, is the “next best thing” to liquid water.
The discovery was announced in an article published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy.
Paganini and his team reported that they detected 5,200 pounds of water vapor being released from Europa per second. That’s enough to fill an Olympic-size swimming pool within minutes.
Europa ― located some 390 million miles away ― is slightly smaller than Earth’s Moon.

listing/[0,1]
listing
listing(
+PredSpecs)
Prints the clauses of all the interpreted procedures currently in the
type-in module of the Prolog database, or of PredSpecs, to the
current output stream, using portray_clause/1
.
A predicate specification, or a list of such.
type_error
You could list the entire program to a file using the command
| ?- tell(file), listing, told.
Note that listing/[0,1]
does not work on compiled procedures.
listing/1
is dependent on the source module. As a special case,
| ?- listing(mod:_).
will list all the dynamic predicates in module mod. However,
listing/0
is not dependent on the source module; it refers instead
to the type-in module.
Variables may be included in predicate specifications given to
listing/1
. For example, you can list clauses for f
in any
current module with:
| ?- listing(_:f).

Better way to view MySQL tables
The problem
You are trying to print a MySQL table with a large number of columns, with
SELECT *
command.
If you wanted to view more than one row, you're in a trouble :)
The solution
Run MySQL with this option:
mysql --pager="less --chop-long-lines --quit-if-one-screen --no-init'
This will make your table display only the rows it can in the current screen, something like this. You can use the arrow keys to move sideways to view the hidden column. Pressing the ‘right’ arrow key will move half page towards right. Neat, isn't it?
You can create an alias for mysql:
# Using shorter version of 'less' flags mentioned above
alias mysql='mysql -SFX'
You can put the above line in your ~/.bashrc
file to load this alias
in every new terminal session.
Bonus point for Vim users
less
allows using keys j
and k
for scrolling down and scrolling up. Unfortunately, you cannot directly use keys h
and l
to move sideways using less
. Fortunately, you can map h
and l
to move left or right, respectively. Here's how to do that:
Create a file .lesskey
in your home directory, with the following contents
l noaction 10\e)
h noaction 10\e)
Now run this command, to generate ~/.less
file.
lesskey
This will generate a binary file which less
understands. If you now start a new MySQL terminal session (of course with the above said --pages
flag), you can use Vim's HJKL
movements. Here I have specified to move 10 characters to the right if you make one ‘right’ Vim movement.
Quick setup script
Don't want to do the above stuff manually? Just run this command and your computer will be set up in a second!
sh -c "$(wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rushiagr/public/master/scripts/mysql-pretty-table.sh -O -)"
Note that changes will take effect from a new shell session (or you can run source ~/.bashrc
if you want things to work in the current session too.
More information
Find more information at below links:
About mapping ‘h’ and ‘k’ to Vim movements in ‘less’
About using ‘less’ as MySQL pager
Cheers!
