As a starting point for this exercise, use the files you created in the previous step or open the project contained in the Step06 folder. In this exercise we will create a single new AutoCAD command "CREATEEMPLOYEE".When the "CREATEEMPLOYEE" command is executed, it will:
Prompt the user for an employee ID; employee cubicle number; employee first name; employee last name; and employee location.. Place a custom AsdkEmployee object in Model Space complete with the input data obtained from the user.
- Load project "Step06", which was created with the ObjectARX Wizard or continue with the files you created in the previous step.
- Create a sub project for the ObjectDBX (*.dbx) module.
- Create the AsdkEmployee entity.
- Register the command CREATEEMPLOYEE, set the name of the function to be called to 'asdkcreateemployee()'.
- Add the AsdkEmployee entity to the command module.
- Testing the application.
Create a sub project for the ObjectDBX (*.dbx) module
- From the "File" pull down menu of Visual C++ 6.0, select "New...".
- Select the "Projects" tab in the dialog that appears.
- Select "ObjectARX 2000 AppWizard" in the list of project types.
- Enter Employee as project name.
- Select the 'Add to current workspace' radio button.
- When presented with the new dialog (Step 1 of 1), choose "ObjectDBX (custom object definition)" radio button - IMPORTANT!!
- Click "Finish" and then "OK."
Create the AsdkEmployee entity.
We will use the ObjectARX Wizard to create the AsdkEmployee entity. Make sure that Employee is the active project.
- Select the 'ObjectARX class wizard' button from the ObjectARX Wizard toolbar.
- When presented with the ObjectARX ClassWizard dialog, click the "Add class..." button.
- When presented with the New Class dialog:
- Use AsdkEmployee as class name.
- Derive from AcDbEllipse.
- Use ASDKEMPLOYEE as DXF name.
- Add the member functions dwgInFields(), dwgOutFields(), dxfInFields(), dxfOutFields() and worldDraw().
Step 6 Figure 1 - Adding member functions to the AsdkEmployee class
- Add the following member variables as shown in the table:
Member Variables for AsdkEmployee entity Variable Name Data Type DXF Code m_lastName char* 300 m_firstName char* 301 m_cube Adesk::Int32 90 m_ID Adesk::Int32 91
Step 6 Figure 2 - Adding member variables to the AsdkEmployee class
NOTE: In addition to adding member variables to the project, the ObjectARX Wizard will also add the data access functions to our project for us. Here is a list of the function prototypes that were added to the AsdkEmployee.h file, see the AsdkEmployees.cpp for the implementation of these functions.
//{{AFX_ARX_DATA_ACCESS(AsdkEmployee)
Acad::ErrorStatus setID(const Adesk::Int32 ID);
Acad::ErrorStatus iD(Adesk::Int32& ID);
Acad::ErrorStatus setCube(const Adesk::Int32 cube);
Acad::ErrorStatus cube(Adesk::Int32& cube);
Acad::ErrorStatus setFirstName(const char* firstName);
Acad::ErrorStatus firstName(char*& firstName);
Acad::ErrorStatus setLastName(const char* lastName);
Acad::ErrorStatus lastName(char*& lastName);
//}}AFX_ARX_DATA_ACCESS- Examine the source code generated by the ObjectARX Wizard.
- Take a look at AsdkEmployee.h.
Pay close attention to the following:
#ifndef ASDKEMPLOYEE_DBXSERVICE
#define ASDKEMPLOYEE_DBXSERVICE "ASDKEMPLOYEE_DBXSERVICE"
#endifThis was added by the ObjectARX Wizard. This will be used to register a service in ObjectARX.
- Take a look at AsdkEmployee.cpp.
Pay close attention to the InitApplication() function which was generated by the ObjectARX Wizard:
void InitApplication()
{
// NOTE: DO NOT edit the following lines.
//{{AFX_ARX_INIT
AsdkEmployee::rxInit();
acrxBuildClassHierarchy();
acrxRegisterService(ASDKEMPLOYEE_DBXSERVICE);
//}}AFX_ARX_INIT// TODO: add your initialization functions
}
Here we initialize the AsdkEmployee class, build the ObjectARX class hierarchy and add a service called ASKDEMPLOYEE_DBXSERVICE, we will see later how we utilize this service in our ObjectARX application. For more information on these functions and their usage, refer to the ObjectARX Developers Guide and online help.
- Implement the worldDraw() function.
- Call the base class worldDraw() function of the parent class (AcDbEllipse::worldDraw()) first.
- In addition, draw the AsdkEmployee entity data as text. (AcGiWorldDraw::geometry(), AcGiGeometry::text()). Hint: worldDraw() is passed an AcGiWorldDraw pointer, use mode->geometry().text(various arguments here, see online help). For the position, normal, direction and height of the text use the properties of the AsdkEmployee entity which is derived from AcDbEllipse.
- Change the constructor for AsdkEmloyee class as follows:
AsdkEmployee::AsdkEmployee() : AcDbEllipse (AcGePoint3d (),
AcGeVector3d (0, 0, 1),
AcGeVector3d (1, 0, 0), 1)
{
// TODO: do your initialization.
m_firstName = m_lastName = NULL ;
}- Try to implement this function yourself. Don't forget the ObjectARX online help. If you get stuck, you may use the ObjectARX component gallery under "Step6 - worldDraw" and study the source code.
- Compile the project.
NOTE: Set "Project" as the active project in Visual C++.
Implementation of the CREATEEMPLOYEE command - 'asdkcreateemployee()'
Algorithm
- Register the command CREATEEMPLOYEE with the ObjectARX Wizard and set the function to be called to 'asdkcreateemployee()'.
- Input employee data for employee ID; employee cubicle; employee first name; employee last name (acedGetInt(), acedGetString()) and employee position (acedGetPoint()).
NOTE: The function acedGetPoint() returns an ads_point representing the point picked by the user. To convert an ads_point directly into an AcGePoint3d point use the global function asDblArray(), this will require you to include "geassign.h" in your project. Refer to the ObjectARX online help for more information on asDblArray().
- Create a new instance of the AsdkEmployee entity.
- Set the AsdkEmployee data.
- Add the AsdkEmployee entity to the Model Space record.
- Try to implement this function yourself. Don't forget the ObjectARX online help. If you get stuck, you may use the ObjectARX component gallery under "Step6 - asdkcreateemployee" and study the source code.
Add the AsdkEmployee entity to the command module
- Add the AsdkEmployee.h to StdArx.h - #include "Employee\AsdkEmployee.h".
- Add AsdkEmployee.lib to the libraries of the linker settings.
- In Project.cpp at the AcRx::kInitAppMsg location in acrxEntryPoint() add code to load the DBX module. You may use the ObjectARX component gallery under "Step6 - kInitAppMsg" and study the source code.
Add code to acrxEntryPoint()
- Add the following code to the 'acrxEntryPoint()' of the 'Project.cpp' file.
AcRxObject *pSvc;
if ( !(pSvc =acrxServiceDictionary->at (ASDKEMPLOYEE_DBXSERVICE)) ) {
// Try to load the module, if it is not yet present
if ( !acrxDynamicLinker->loadModule ("AsdkEmployee.dbx", 0) ) {
acutPrintf ("Unable to load AsdkEmployee.dbx. Unloading this application...\n") ;
return (AcRx::kRetError) ;
}
}Here we are checking to see if the ObjectDBX application is loaded. This is achieved by checking to see if the ASDKEMPLOYEE_DBXSERVICE service is registered. If the service is not registered, load the ObjectDBX module. Alternatively this code could be added to the 'InitApplication()' function generated by the ObjectARX Wizard.
Test the application
- Build the application and load the DBX module first. Create an EMPLOYEE entity with the command CREATEEMPLOYEE. Save the drawing. Unload the application and dbx module. Notice that you have now a Proxy entity. Reload the application and notice that the EMPLOYEE is once again a valid entity.

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998) Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo, Chris Rock, Jet Li, Steve Kahan, Kim Chan, Darlene Love, Traci Wolfe, Eddy Ko, Steven Lam, Richard Libertini. Directed by Richard Donner. 127 minutes Rated R, 2.5 stars (out of five stars)
Review by Ed Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly www.nuvo-online.com/film/ Archive reviews at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Edward+Johnson-ott
All icing, no cake. That pretty much sums up "Lethal Weapon 4." Having decided that the appeal of the buddy cop franchise was action, jokes and the chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, the powers that be apparently decided to discard such antiquated elements as character development and coherent plotting, opting instead to create a film of virtually nothing but action, jokes and the chemistry between Gibson and Glover. And so we have "Lethal Weapon 4," a 127 minute stunt and shtick extravaganza.
In the stunt department, a car crashes into a building, drives through, crashes out the other side and continues pursuing the bad guys. Very cool. Mel's stunt double climbs from vehicle to vehicle during a high speed freeway chase.  There's lots and lots of big explosions too, along with the series' trademark sadism.
Moving on to the shtick, Mel plays lots of wacky practical jokes on his partner and best friend Danny. He gets him to dance in his underwear to "distract" a lunatic. Later, he repeatedly fastens newspaper photos of Danny in his underwear to the cubicle walls in the police station. He tricks Danny into believing that Chris Rock is gay and infatuated with him. And so on.
In-between the jokes and fights, there's a couple of pregnancies thrown in, along with a nominal, extremely murky plot about Chinese people doing bad things. The film's recurring theme is family, which is nice.
It's all very fast-paced and pretty entertaining on its own terms, but my thoughts kept drifting back to the first "Lethal Weapon." I remembered the agony of that scene where Gibson, as the suicidal Martin Riggs, sat quivering with the barrel of a gun in his mouth, crying tears of frustration when he couldn't pull the trigger. I remembered Danny Glover, as quintessential family man Roger Murtaugh, nursing his partner through his anguish, displaying remarkable nobility and compassion. Sure, "Lethal Weapon" was often cheesy and lurid, but I cared about those men.
Watching the fourth installment of the series, I realized how much I missed Riggs and Murtaugh, back when they were people instead of the Two Stooges. Sure, I laughed at a lot of Gibson's puns and wisecracks, but missed the man behind the jokes. With Danny Glover, witnessing his sputtering straight man bit actually became embarrassing. At what point in the series was it decided that Murtaugh didn't need his dignity anymore?
As for the rest of the cast, aside from an absurd, but nifty fight scene, Rene Russo is relegated to the background, although she gets more screen time than the rest of the womenfolk. Joe Pesci returns as the extraordinarily irritating Leo Getz, punctuating his constant yammering with his "Okay! Okay!" catch phrase. As if that wasn't annoying enough, Chris Rock joins the proceedings with his own shrill brand of fingernails- on-the-blackboard verbal torture. The nadir of the film comes during a scene where Rock and Pesci exchange rapid fire banalities. I swear to God, if I'd had an Uzi at that moment I would have happily riddled the screen with bullets.
Thankfully, "Lethal Weapon 4" wraps up with a genuinely warm, family scrapbook scene that almost makes everything else forgivable. It's as if the cast was saying "Folks, we're doing this for the last time. We know it's all ridiculous, but we're just having fun and we hope that you had some too." And, to a certain extent, I did. But it's hard to watch talented performers throw plot, character development, logic and credibility away in favor of playing caricatures in a high-octane free- for-all.

I spent way more time than I planned or wanted to spend on CherryPaste today, mostly trying to get Catwalk to work correctly.
First, CherryPy's WSGI application doesn't use SCRIPT_NAME like it should. After getting a less than enthusiastic response on that ticket, I thought I would just not bother pursuing that and fix it myself. CherryPaste could then be seen simply as the valid-to-spec WSGI application for CherryPy.  The VirtualPathFilter recipe I built off of is just a silly hack, frankly, despite the fact that it's a likely part of any realistic deployment. The WSGI environment is thrown away, so if you planned to pass information through WSGI into the CherryPy request you can't. I haven't looked very hard, but I haven't yet found the way to turn off CherryPy's catching of exceptions (which I want because Paste has a better exception handler). CherryPy eats exceptions from some filter methods.
This all to get Catwalk to run under something besides the root path. Then I realize CatWalk has entirely hardcoded URLs. That's just silly. turbogears.view.stdvars creates dynamic values that it should be using; that was an easy enough change. Except TurboGears bases those values off something calculated at server startup, and stores it in a module global. So I have to patch in a threadlocal value that poses as a string. Lastly Catwalk patches the configuration to add static paths when you access the index page; but since I'm keeping configuration information isolated to each request that doesn't work. So I have to add a specific hack to the Catwalk entry point to fix up the configuration on each request.
In the end it all works, at least for this one case. But damn. This is not what I want to be working on.
It's not like this is Paste-specific stuff. No one knows how to do this stuff in CherryPy. No one seems to have any authoritative answer on how you deploy these apps -- how you move between servers, how you change the application root, how you put apps together into a single server. Everything is ad hoc stuff that just barely works for one app on one server. It's all "recipes". Recipes are often just stuff that no one cares enough about to do right. This is too central to what CherryPy is supposed to be doing to be a recipe.
It occurs to me that TurboGears was extracted from an application that runs on the local machine. In that case none of these issues would have been apparent. But that's not similar to how people are actually using TG. I think these shaky underpinnings are risky for the project.
Catwalk does all sorts of bad things, like bare except clauses... The style is also very sloppy and inconsistent with PEP-8. It definitely isn't worth my time to fix, though, especially because it's not technically broken. Hopefully the developer will fix those bad habits with more practice.
Yeah, there's a number of things. But these are all mostly easy bugs. The template was... well, very peculiar that it hadn't been fixed. But certainly not hard to fix. Doing it right actually was hard, but that wasn't Catwalk's fault.
# Ian Bicking
> I haven't yet found the way to turn off CherryPy's catching of exceptions
That feature was added to CP 2.2 on Dec 27, 2005 in http://www.cherrypy.org/changeset/884. Set the config entry "server.throw_errors" to True.
Doh, I saw that, but I was setting the environment (instead of the configuration) to have server.throw_errors (which doesn't do anything). So CherryPaste should handle that now, and Paste exceptions should be usable around a CherryPy app.
# Ian Bicking
This is a common problem with cherrypy. there is now easy way of distributing a cherrypy application. And there is also no easy way to setup more than one cherrypy application on a server.
I've hacked up something that allows you to distribute cherrypy applications as eggs.
You can see the source at http://bwinton.latte.ca/Programming/cherryPy/ and the (not entirely working at this point for some reason, but used to work before) result at http://cherrypy.latte.ca/
(Yes, I know my server is down. I'll reboot my POS-brand router when I get home.)
Surely the big jaw-opener for CherryPy (or was it TurboGears?) was that barely-reported security hole that came up the other day. Less time on the hype and more on the software is the answer there, I think.
# The Badger
I also find catwalk's assumption that it's at the root path annoying, could the changes you made (the hard-coded url bits - obviously the WSGI bits don't apply) be submitted as a patch to TurboGears? Seems like a waste not to get it in there!
# anonymous
Yeah, I was planning to that -- Trac just happened to be down while I was doing this stuff.
# Ian Bicking
The necessary changes to Catwalk have now been committed.

MIT looks to reduce campus greenhouse gas emissions by at least 32% of 2014 levels by 2030. If MIT continues to purchase significant quantities of electricity from the grid, it may be challenging to incentivize the actions necessary to achieve these ambitious climate goals.
However, MIT could get paid for reducing its electricity consumption. Smaller consumers write a check to an electric utility. However, in Massachusetts, these utilities are not generating power. They buy power in a large auction. In this auction, overseen by an “Independent System Operator (ISO),” utilities say “I am willing to pay $X for Y amount of power,” and for generators to offer “$A for providing B amount of power.” The ISO makes sure that the cheapest power is procured, while ensuring the transmission lines are safe.
Only a third of the energy embedded in fossil fuel ends up consumed. It can be a lot cheaper for people not to use energy in the first place. Demand response refers to end-use consumers using less energy. Demand response can be considered a resource similar to a generator - using less energy is like making more energy. In these ISO markets, demand response resources can bid in like generators. Demand response resources can say “I would like to be paid $J for not using K amount of energy.” If cost-effective, the ISO will ask demand response resources to use less energy, replacing a generator from producing more energy.
MIT could be a demand response resource in New England’s ISO (ISO-NE). In other words, MIT could make money by reducing its electricity consumption. However, this theoretical idea may not align with the reality: could MIT make money from participating as a demand response resource? If so, how much money? Our project looks to tackle these questions.
Temperature extremes drive higher prices.
Monthly average prices also reflect temperature sensitivity.
Peak hourly prices at 6 pm present a demand response opportunity.
Play with time periods and bid parameters to see how profitability changes. Bid price reflects how much it costs MIT to reduce energy. Bid amount is how much energy MIT can reduce.
See how MIT's bid price relates to ISO-NE's prices.
The profit that MIT could make each day is dependent upon MIT's bid price, MIT's bid amount, and ISO-NE's prices.
MIT might be consuming a lot of energy during high priced times (perhaps because of weather). Or, there is an opportunity to make money.
We are a team of MIT graduate students from diverse backgrounds seeking to learn more about MIT's opportunities to become energy efficient.

Despite an unprecedented demand, gamers in India are waiting eagerly for Sony’s latest PlayStation 5. Gaming experts have advised not to buy the Sony PlayStation 5 in India right now.
According to reports, the Sony PS5 gaming consoles are now available in some un-authorized retailer stores in India, and are being sold for as much as Rs 90,000. But the Sony PS5 consoles bought from un-authorized outlets are without warranty coverage.
The PS5 comes in two variants, the gaming console and the digital edition. The gaming console is priced at ₹49,990 while the digital edition is priced at ₹39,990.
And both PS5 models will have the same specs. The PS5 is powered by the octa-core x86-64-AMD Ryzen `Zen 2` CPU that clocks up to 3.5 GHz.

Opening the Position
Apple is trading at 150/152 and you are of the view that Apple’s latest product release will boost sales. You decide to purchase 100 shares of AAPL. For each contract, one point (a price movement of 1) is equal to $1 USD.
With 100 contracts, every point that the bid quote on AAPL rises above 152 you will make a profit of $100 USD, and for every point the bid quote falls below 152 you will lose $100 USD.
Closing the Position
1 month later, after sales results are released, the price of AAPL has increased to 170/172 and you decide to take profit by selling 100 AAPL Stock CFD contracts.
| Calculation | |
|---|---|
| Opening Price | $152 x 100 shares = USD $15,200 |
| Closing Price | $170 x 100 shares = USD $17,000 |
| Gross Profit on trade | USD $17,000 - $15,200 = $1,800 |
To calculate the net profit you must include any financing or dividend adjustments. In the case of a ‘long’ position interest is credited and in the case of a ‘short’ position interest is debited.

5-MeO-DPT |
(liquid) |
I was able to get ahold of some 5-MeO-DPT (note that it NOT DiPT) at a smartshop in Japan, in a 30mg liquid vial. My friend works at the shop so I dosed 10mg and waited for it to kick in.
Around 30 minutes later, I noticed it taking effect when it was difficult to concentrate on discussion. I kept getting frequently lost amidst the dialogue, and having to ask my friend to repeat his sentences.
One factor that was affecting my inability to pay attention was how my once-relaxed muscles developed into these uncomfortably tense sets of meat. My flesh became unbearably cramped, and I often had to switch from standing to sitting positions to prevent any pain. I stretched my limbs out to relieve some strain, but I don’t think even reclining in a bed would have alleviated the muscle aches. Additionally, I noticed a weak nausea, but it was gentle and passed fairly quickly.
It is a shame that such a body load accompanied the 5-MeO-DPT, because this was the only let-down I was disappointed by. As far as sensation went, it was everything I was seeking. Very…VERY…relaxing, with a bit of dissociation thrown in the mix. Dreamy visuals soothed my mind, giving off the perception that I was examining Tokyo through a snow-globe. The easy visuals included changes in patterning, quite reminiscent to DXM and ketamine. Time also seemed to go as slowly as it does on a good robotrip; I glanced at my watch believing it was almost morning, only to discover it was still midnight.
I was in awe at how brilliantly the city illuminations were glistening around me. It appears that on 5-MeO-DPT, I appreciate imagery from a reflection such as a mirror or glass surface, rather than staring at the actual image itself.
Unlike other dissociatives however, I felt myself become strangely aroused simply standing there at the smartshop. I could practically feel the blood pulsating through myself, and couldn’t help but consider trying 5-MeO-DPT as a love drug. I was a little surprised at how mild effects were, since the trip reports I read suggested that anything above 10mg would be a toxic dose. I felt I could go a little higher, but decided against it, knowing I had a busy week ahead of me, and I wouldn’t be able to stand upright anymore if it increased my muscle cramping. I described my reactions to my friend at the shop, and he seemed interested. Apparently people are generally more energetic on the influence of this, but it seemed to have a sedating effect on me.
 If it weren't for that I'd definitely try it again...

Once upon a time I realized that if you want to get objective information about some product, you have to spend a vast amount of time reading and watching reviews to distill valuable facts.
Each youtube product review lasts about 15 minutes, therefore you have to spend hours if you'd like to compare several products.
The tool that I am trying to implement here provides quantative assessment for features of products.
This app takes 15 videos from YouTube based on product names and provides semantic analysis of the captions based on the given keywords.
After that it returns scores for each of the features (key words) and a total score which helps to make the right choice.
Here's a table with scores is rendered


- Coffee & vinyl by For the Record
- Handmade ceramics by Clay by Jae
- Crocheted coasters by Ruting
- DJ sets by Bentsobento & Roysi
