Why many of things taught in school can't be used in real life?
A large percentage of people I interact with, specially in my country (Philippines) has this feedback about educational institutions lacking the ability to prepare people to "actual" real-life challenges you'll be needing in an actual Information Technology work. Whether this is really true - I don't know, as I did not (or wasn't even capable of) conducting a more in-depth study about the subject matter. But what follows is just purely opinionated point of view of mine about the subject matter (so I might be wrong in some things and I might be correct in some)
Whether you are in a poverty line or in middle class - that largely defines how relevant a certain topic of interest to you. For example a person which has a family that barely has something to eat will most likely think subject about Physics, Trigonometry and Algorithm doesn't makes sense.
IT Industry offers way larger salary than most of other industry, and also offers you the ability to work remotely, that is why many people in poverty line is motivated to go with this route, as for many - its a sure ticket out of poverty.

Protocol Buffers
ts_proto_library
ts_proto_library(name, deps, output_name)
Wraps https://github.com/dcodeIO/protobuf.js for use in Bazel.
ts_proto_library
has identical outputs to ts_library
, so it can be used anywhere
a ts_library
can appear, such as in the deps[]
of another ts_library
.
load("@build_bazel_rules_typescript//:defs.bzl", "ts_library", "ts_proto_library")
proto_library(
name = "car_proto",
srcs = ["car.proto"],
)
ts_proto_library(
name = "car",
deps = [":car_proto"],
)
ts_library(
name = "test_lib",
testonly = True,
srcs = ["car.spec.ts"],
deps = [":car"],
)
Note in this example we named the ts_proto_library
rule car
so that the
result will be car.d.ts
. This means our TypeScript code can just
import {symbols} from './car'
. Use the output_name
attribute if you want to
name the rule differently from the output file.
The JavaScript produced by protobuf.js has a runtime dependency on a support library.
Under devmode (e.g. ts_devserver
, ts_web_test_suite
) you'll need to include these scripts
in the bootstrap
phase (before Require.js loads). You can use the label
@build_bazel_rules_typescript//:protobufjs_bootstrap_scripts
to reference these scripts
in the bootstrap
attribute of ts_web_test_suite
or ts_devserver
.
To complete the example above, you could write a ts_web_test_suite
:
load("@build_bazel_rules_typescript//:defs.bzl", "ts_web_test_suite")
ts_web_test_suite(
name = "test",
deps = ["test_lib"],
bootstrap = ["@build_bazel_rules_typescript//:protobufjs_bootstrap_scripts"],
browsers = [
"@io_bazel_rules_webtesting//browsers:chromium-local",
"@io_bazel_rules_webtesting//browsers:firefox-local",
],
)
Attributes
name |
A unique name for this rule. |
deps |
proto_library targets |
output_name |
Name of the resulting module, which you will import from. If not specified, the name will match the target's name. |

The search settings allow you to tune the search for your experiment, workflow and instrument. These settings have a strong impact
on the identification results, for detailed help see our free tutorials
on protein identification. To optimize these settings you can also see Vaudel et al. Proteomics. 2011 May;11(10):2105-14..
The first setting required is the protein sequences database. The database has to be in the FASTA format,
and most common databases formats are recognized. We recommend the use of UniProt databases, if you are using home made databases please refer
to our online help.
Only proteins present in the database will be identified, your database should hence be as comprehensive as possible. However, large databases (typically >100,000 sequences)
are challenging for the algorithms and result in longer processing times and increased hardware requirements. Moreover, large databases leave more room for the search engine to
make errors resulting in false positive identifications. It is hence advised to tailor your database to fit the proteins in your sample, e.g., by restricting to a given species.
Finally, note that search engines will make their best to match unrecognized spectra to any resembling sequence. These false identifications are typically not accounted
for by target/decoy error rates (see Colaert at al. J Proteome Res. 2011 Dec 2;10(12):5555-61 for more details).
It is for example crucial to include known contaminants in your database (see Knudsen et al. PLoS One. 2011;6(6):e20873 for more details and
here for lists of standard contaminants).
There are two types of modifications, fixed and variable. Fixed modifications will
be added to every residue that can be modified by the given modification, while the variable modifications
are sometimes added and sometimes not. Which type to choose depends on your experimental setup.
You can add multiple modifications of each type, but remember that the more variable modifications you
add the more complex the search becomes which increases the risk of false positives.
Initially only the most used modifications are shown. To show all modifications simply select 'All
Modifications' in the drop down menu above the list of modifications. Here you can also see more
details about each modification. Note that you can add and edit your own modifications.
You can set the digestion type used for protein cleavage, if your enzyme is not available please contact us.
The fragmentation settings allow you to target the ion species expected upon fragmentation (see more help on fragmentation
here) according to your instrument resolution.

First of all, there is no special format for a Rakefile. A Rakefile contains executable Ruby code. Anything legal in a ruby script is allowed in a Rakefile.
Now that we understand there is no special syntax in a Rakefile, there are some conventions that are used in a Rakefile that are a little unusual in a typical Ruby program. Since a Rakefile is tailored to specifying tasks and actions, the idioms used in a Rakefile are designed to support that.
So, what goes into a Rakefile?
Tasks are the main unit of work in a Rakefile. Tasks have a name (usually given as a symbol or a string), a list of prerequisites (more symbols or strings) and a list of actions (given as a block).
A task is declared by using the task method. task takes a single parameter that is the name of the task.
task :name
Any prerequisites are given as a list (inclosed in square brackets) following the name and an arrow (=>).
task :name => [:prereq1, :prereq2]
NOTE: Although this syntax looks a little funky, it is legal Ruby. We are constructing a hash where the key is :name and the value for that key is the list of prerequisites. It is equivalent to the following …
hash = Hash.new hash[:name] = [:prereq1, :prereq2] task(hash)
Actions are defined by passing a block to the task method. Any Ruby code can be placed in the block. The block may reference the task object via the block paramter..
task :name => [:prereq1, :prereq2] do |t| # actions (may reference t) end
A task may be specified more than once. Each specification adds its prerequisites and actions to the existing definition. This allows one part of a rakefile to specify the actions and a different rakefile (perhaps separately generated) to specify the dependencies.
For example, the following is equivalent to the single task specification given above.
task :name task :name => [:prereq1] task :name => [:prereq2] task :name do |t| # actions end
Some tasks are designed to create a file from one or more other files. Tasks that generate these files may be skipped if the file already exists. File tasks are used to specify file creation tasks.
File tasks are declared using the file method (instead of the task method). In addition, file tasks are usually named with a string rather than a symbol.
The following file task creates a executable program (named prog) given two object files name a.o and b.o. The tasks for creating a.o and b.o are not shown.
file "prog" => ["a.o", "b.o"] do |t| sh "cc -o #{t.name} #{t.prerequisites.join(' ')}" end
It is common to need to create directories upon demand. The directory convenience method is a short-hand for creating a FileTask that creates the directory. For example, the following declaration …
directory "testdata/examples/doc"
is equivalent to …
file "testdata" do |t| mkdir t.name end file "testdata/examples" do |t| mkdir t.name end file "testdata/examples/doc" do |t| mkdir t.name end
The directory method does not accept prerequisites or actions, but both prerequisites and actions can be added later. For example …
directory "testdata" file "testdata" => ["otherdata"] file "testdata" do cp Dir["standard_data/*.data"], "testdata" end
Rake allows parallel execution of prerequisites using the following syntax:
multitask :copy_files => [:copy_src, :copy_doc, :copy_bin] do puts "All Copies Complete" end
In this example, copy_files is a normal rake task. Its actions are executed whereever all of its prerequisites are done. The big difference is that the prerequisites (copy_src, copy_bin and copy_doc) are executed in parallel. Each of the prerequisites are run in their own Ruby thread, possibly allowing faster overall runtime.
If any of the primary prerequites of a multitask have common secondary prerequisites, all of the primary/parallel prerequisites will wait until the common prerequisites have been run.
For example, if the copy_xxx tasks have the following prerequisites:
task :copy_src => [:prep_for_copy] task :copy_bin => [:prep_for_copy] task :copy_doc => [:prep_for_copy]
Then the prep_for_copy task is run before starting all the copies in parallel. Once prep_for_copy is complete, copy_src, copy_bin, and copy_doc are all run in parallel. Note that prep_for_copy is run only once, even though it is referenced in multiple threads.
The Rake internal data structures are thread-safe with respect to the multitask parallel execution, so there is no need for the user to do extra synchronization for Rake‘s benefit. However, if there are user data structures shared between the parallel prerequisites, the user must do whatever is necessary to prevent race conditions.
Prior to version 0.8.0, rake was only able to handle command line arguments of the form NAME=VALUE that were passed into Rake via the ENV hash. Many folks had asked for some kind of simple command line arguments, perhaps using "—" to separate regular task names from argument values on the command line. The problem is that there was no easy way to associate positional arguments on the command line with different tasks. Suppose both tasks :a and :b expect a command line argument: does the first value go with :a? What if :b is run first? Should it then get the first command line argument.
Rake 0.8.0 solves this problem by explicitly passing values directly to the tasks that need them. For example, if I had a release task that required a version number, I could say:
rake release[0.8.2]
And the string "0.8.2" will be passed to the :release task. Multiple arguments can be passed by separating them with a comma, for example:
rake name[john,doe]
Just a few words of caution. The rake task name and its arguments need to be a single command line argument to rake. This generally means no spaces. If spaces are needed, then the entire rake + argument string should be quoted. Something like this:
rake "name[billy bob, smith]"
(Quoting rules vary between operating systems and shells, so make sure you consult the proper docs for your OS/shell).
Parameters are only given to tasks that are setup to expect them. In order to handle named parameters, the task declaration syntax for tasks has been extended slightly.
For example, a task that needs a first name and last name might be declared as:
task :name, [:first_name, :last_name]
The first argument is still the name of the task (:name in this case). The next to argumements are the names of the parameters expected by :name in an array (:first_name and :last_name in the example).
To access the values of the paramters, the block defining the task behaviour can now accept a second parameter:
task :name, [:first_name, :last_name] do |t, args| puts "First name is #{args.first_name}" puts "Last name is #{args.last_name}" end
The first argument of the block "t" is always bound to the current task object. The second argument "args" is an open-struct like object that allows access to the task arguments. Extra command line arguments to a task are ignored. Missing command line arguments are given the nil value.
If you wish to specify default values for the arguments, you can use the with_defaults method in the task body. Here is the above example where we specify default values for the first and last names:
task :name, [:first_name, :last_name] do |t, args| args.with_defaults(:first_name => "John", :last_name => "Dough") puts "First name is #{args.first_name}" puts "Last name is #{args.last_name}" end
Tasks that use parameters have a slightly different format for prerequisites. Use the arrow notation to indicate the prerequisites for tasks with arguments. For example:
task :name, [:first_name, :last_name] => [:pre_name] do |t, args| args.with_defaults(:first_name => "John", :last_name => "Dough") puts "First name is #{args.first_name}" puts "Last name is #{args.last_name}" end
There is an older format for declaring task parameters that omitted the task argument array and used the :needs keyword to introduce the dependencies. That format is still supported for compatibility, but is not recommended for use.
Sometimes it is useful to manipulate tasks programatically in a Rakefile. To find a task object, use the :[] operator on the Rake::Task.
For example, the following Rakefile defines two tasks. The :doit task simply prints a simple "DONE" message. The :dont class will lookup the doit class and remove (clear) all of its prerequisites and actions.
task :doit do puts "DONE" end task :dont do Rake::Task[:doit].clear end
Running this example:
$ rake doit (in /Users/jim/working/git/rake/x) DONE $ rake dont doit (in /Users/jim/working/git/rake/x) $
The ability to programmatically manipulate tasks gives rake very powerful meta-programming capabilities w.r.t. task execution, but should be used with cation.
When a file is named as a prerequisite, but does not have a file task defined for it, Rake will attempt to synthesize a task by looking at a list of rules supplied in the Rakefile.
Suppose we were trying to invoke task "mycode.o", but no task is defined for it. But the rakefile has a rule that look like this …
rule '.o' => ['.c'] do |t| sh "cc #{t.source} -c -o #{t.name}" end
This rule will synthesize any task that ends in ".o". It has a prerequisite a source file with an extension of ".c" must exist. If Rake is able to find a file named "mycode.c", it will automatically create a task that builds "mycode.o" from "mycode.c".
If the file "mycode.c" does not exist, rake will attempt to recursively synthesize a rule for it.
When a task is synthesized from a rule, the source attribute of the task is set to the matching source file. This allows us to write rules with actions that reference the source file.
Any regular expression may be used as the rule pattern. Additionally, a proc may be used to calculate the name of the source file. This allows for complex patterns and sources.
The following rule is equivalent to the example above.
rule( /\.o$/ => [ proc {|task_name| task_name.sub(/\.[^.]+$/, '.c') } ]) do |t| sh "cc #{t.source} -c -o #{t.name}" end
NOTE: Because of a quirk in Ruby syntax, parenthesis are required on rule when the first argument is a regular expression.
The following rule might be used for Java files …
rule '.java' => [ proc { |tn| tn.sub(/\.class$/, '.java').sub(/^classes\//, 'src/') } ] do |t| java_compile(t.source, t.name) end
NOTE: java_compile is a hypothetical method that invokes the java compiler.
Any ruby file (including other rakefiles) can be included with a standard Ruby require command. The rules and declarations in the required file are just added to the definitions already accumulated.
Because the files are loaded before the rake targets are evaluated, the loaded files must be "ready to go" when the rake command is invoked. This make generated dependency files difficult to use. By the time rake gets around to updating the dependencies file, it is too late to load it.
The import command addresses this by specifying a file to be loaded after the main rakefile is loaded, but before any targets on the command line are specified. In addition, if the file name matches an explicit task, that task is invoked before loading the file. This allows dependency files to be generated and used in a single rake command invocation.
require 'rake/loaders/makefile' file ".depends.mf" => [SRC_LIST] do |t| sh "makedepend -f- -- #{CFLAGS} -- #{t.prerequisites} > #{t.name}" end import ".depends.mf"
If ".depends" does not exist, or is out of date w.r.t. the source files, a new ".depends" file is generated using makedepend before loading.
Standard Ruby comments (beginning with "#") can be used anywhere it is legal in Ruby source code, including comments for tasks and rules. However, if you wish a task to be described using the "-T" switch, then you need to use the desc command to describe the task.
desc "Create a distribution package" task :package => [ ... ] do ... end
The "-T" switch (or "—tasks" if you like to spell things out) will display a list of tasks that have a defined comment. If you use desc to describe your major tasks, you have a semi-automatic way of generating a summary of your Rake file.
traken$ rake -T (in /home/.../rake) rake clean # Remove any temporary products. rake clobber # Remove any generated file. rake clobber_rdoc # Remove rdoc products rake contrib_test # Run tests for contrib_test rake default # Default Task rake install # Install the application rake lines # Count lines in the main rake file rake rdoc # Build the rdoc HTML Files rake rerdoc # Force a rebuild of the RDOC files rake test # Run tests rake testall # Run all test targets
Only tasks with descriptions will be displayed with the "-T" switch. Use "-P" (or "—prereqs") to get a list of all tasks and their prerequisites.
As projects grow (and along with it, the number of tasks), it is common for task names to begin to clash. For example, if you might have a main program and a set of sample programs built by a single Rakefile. By placing the tasks related to the main program in one namespace, and the tasks for building the sample programs in a different namespace, the task names will not will not interfer with each other.
For example:
namespace "main" task :build do # Build the main program end end namespace "samples" do task :build do # Build the sample programs end end task :build => ["main:build", "samples:build"]
Referencing a task in a separate namespace can be achieved by prefixing the task name with the namespace and a colon (e.g. "main:build" refers to the :build task in the main namespace). Nested namespaces are supported, so
Note that the name given in the task command is always the unadorned task name without any namespace prefixes. The task command always defines a task in the current namespace.
File task names are not scoped by the namespace command. Since the name of a file task is the name of an actual file in the file system, it makes little sense to include file task names in name space. Directory tasks (created by the directory command) are a type of file task and are also not affected by namespaces.
When looking up a task name, rake will start with the current namespace and attempt to find the name there. If it fails to find a name in the current namespace, it will search the parent namespaces until a match is found (or an error occurs if there is no match).
The "rake" namespace is a special implicit namespace that refers to the toplevel names.
If a task name begins with a "^" character, the name resolution will start in the parent namespace. Multiple "^" characters are allowed.
Here is an example file with multiple :run tasks and how various names resolve in different locations.
task :run namespace "one" do task :run namespace "two" do task :run # :run => "one:two:run" # "two:run" => "one:two:run" # "one:two:run" => "one:two:run" # "one:run" => "one:run" # "^run" => "one:run" # "^^run" => "rake:run" (the top level task) # "rake:run" => "rake:run" (the top level task) end # :run => "one:run" # "two:run" => "one:two:run" # "^run" => "rake:run" end # :run => "rake:run" # "one:run" => "one:run" # "one:two:run" => "one:two:run"
FileLists are the way Rake manages lists of files. You can treat a FileList as an array of strings for the most part, but FileLists support some additional operations.
Creating a file list is easy. Just give it the list of file names:
fl = FileList['file1.rb', file2.rb']
Or give it a glob pattern:
fl = FileList['*.rb']
Blocks may be specified with either a do/end pair, or with curly braces in Ruby. We strongly recommend using do/end to specify the actions for tasks and rules. Because the rakefile idiom tends to leave off parenthesis on the task/file/rule methods, unusual ambiguities can arise when using curly braces.
For example, suppose that the method object_files returns a list of object files in a project. Now we use object_files as the prerequistes in a rule specified with actions in curly braces.
# DON'T DO THIS! file "prog" => object_files { # Actions are expected here (but it doesn't work)! }
Because curly braces have a higher precedence than do/end, the block is associated with the object_files method rather than the file method.
This is the proper way to specify the task …
# THIS IS FINE file "prog" => object_files do # Actions go here end

Poverty Eradication
"At its core, development must be about improvement of human well being;
removal of hunger, disease and ignorance; and productive employment for
all. Its first goal must be to end poverty and satisfy the priority needs
of all people in a way that can be productively sustained over future generations."
— Boutros Boutros-Ghali
United Nations Secretary-General
An Agenda for Development, February 1995
"Within the sustainable human development framework, we must give top
priority to the eradication of poverty. Of our four goals, it is listed
first for a reason. Let us make it clear that UNDP is the UN's anti-poverty
organization -- a world partnership against poverty."
— James Gustave Speth
Administrator
April 1995
Over the past 30 years, developing countries have made remarkable progress
in raising average incomes, reducing infant mortality, increasing life
expectancy and boosting adult literacy. The 1994 Human Deve- lopment Report,
produced for UNDP by an independent team of development consultants, notes
that while about 73 per cent of the world's population was ranked as having
low human development in 1960, by 1990 that figure had shrunk to 35 per
cent.
But despite these achievements, poverty remains a paramount challenge
for national governments, as well as for the international development
community. In all developing regions except East Asia, the number of poor
people has been rising since the 1980s. Today, more than one out of five
people around the world are living in conditions of extreme poverty, on
little more than US$1.00 a day.
 As Mahbub ul Haq, Special Adviser to the UNDP Administrator and
architect of the Human Development Report has put it, "Poverty is no longer
contained within national boundaries. It has become globalized. It travels
across borders, without a passport, in the form of drugs, diseases, pollution,
migration, terrorism and political instability."
Poverty's complex nature
Poverty is a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon resulting from
deeply imbedded structural imbalances in all realms of human existence
— the state, the economy, society, culture and the environment. More often
than not, people in poverty are malnourished and have inadequate shelter.
With little or no access to basic social services, they do not enjoy good
health and are poorly educated.
But poverty entails far more than lack of income sufficient to cover
subsistence needs. Deprived of equitable access to markets and institutions,
people in poverty suffer from marginalization and social exclusion. Poverty
also reflects the lack of political clout among those whom it affects --
a power gap that keeps people living in poverty isolated, vulnerable and
unable to lift themselves out of their situation.
Securing a decent livelihood for people living in poverty requires attacking
the many interrelated forces that conspire to keep them in a state of deprivation.
Above all, it requires expanding people's access to participation in decision-making
and to knowledge, training and markets and other productive resources for
income generation such as land, technology, credit and information.
UNDP's new approach
Improving the living standards of people in developing countries, especially
the most deprived groups, has always been a main goal of UNDP technical
cooperation. Projects focusing on rural development, credit, micro-enterprise
promotion and basic needs have traditionally enabled many to better their
lives. In the 1990s, poverty alleviation has become a top UNDP priority,
featured in the vast majority of the fifth cycle (1992-1996) country programmes
and continuing to grow in importance.
The programmes UNDP supports build national capacities — and
facilitate countries' own efforts — for overcoming poverty. First and
foremost they aim to assist governments and organizations of civil society
in developing economic and social policies and programmes that benefit
people living in poverty. People-centred, they address the whole range
of factors contributing to poverty, seeking to increase food security;
improve the availability and quality of shelter and basic services; generate
opportunities for employment and sustainable livelihoods; empower women
and men through access to assets and productive resources such as land,
credit, technology, training and markets; and enable people to participate
in the political forces that shape their lives. Emphasis is on:
• multi-sectoral approaches, in line with the growing acceptance
of poverty as a multi-dimensional problem. The focus is on activities that
link relief to development, seeking to improve people's capacity for self-reliance
by expanding their access to decision-making, markets and services. Integrated
area-based programmes are already having a positive impact in Central American
nations, Sudan and Cambodia.
• strengthening national abilities for data-gathering and analysis
of poverty indicators (as a first step for effective policy design),
and for conducting poverty assessment studies and developing comprehensive,
country-wide macro-level anti-poverty strategies. This is being
done in countries including Burkina Faso, The Gambia, Ghana, Indonesia,
Mongolia, Nepal, the Philippines and Zimbabwe.
• community participation. Bottom-up planning is encouraged by
involving target groups in all stages of programmes they themselves identify,
by support for the decentralization of authority, and by strengthening
the links between grassroots communities and local government agencies.
UNDP-supported small-grants programmes such as Partners in Development,
Local Initiative Facility for Urban Environment and Africa 2000 encourage
local decision-making, strengthen the institutional capacity of community
groups and NGOs and promote networking between them and government agencies.
• ensuring sustainability. Moving away from earlier emphasis
on the direct provision of services to poor communities, UNDP is improving
the abilities of public sector and local institutions to provide such services
on a sustained basis. A deliberate effort is made to widen the range of
development partners by involving both government institutions and organizations
of civil society in policy dialogue and programme execution.
• regional actions, ranging from policy advocacy on major issues
such as the effects of structural adjustment on people living in poverty,
to region-wide consensus-building for poverty eradication and human development,
and to the exchange and dissemination of information on innovative approaches
to poverty alleviation.
• strengthening cooperation with other UN organizations, to ensure
coordinated approaches and a sharing of resources for poverty reduction
programmes.
• sustainable livelihoods. UNDP has expanded its concern with
jobs and income to include the broader concepts of sustainable livelihoods
and people's empowerment. People, not goods, must be at the centre of all
development efforts. The ultimate goal of development is not merely to
raise average incomes, but to enlarge people's choices and opportunities
to lead creative and productive lives through freely chosen employment
and freedom from want. This implies development that ensures sustainable
use of natural resources; that addresses the special needs and utilizes
the untapped potentials of women; that recognizes the need for people living
in poverty to participate in governance and decisions that affect their
lives; and that shows concern for basic human rights, legal protection
and public safety while respecting cultural diversity and human dignity.
This message is at the heart of UNDP's policy dialogue with governments
that request assistance in identifying the root causes of poverty, formulating
national anti-poverty strategies and programmes and integrating them into
overall economic and social policy and planning. UNDP also helps interested
countries mobilize technical and financial resources for such programmes
and promotes the exchange of their experiences.
Support for national efforts
A regional project on critical poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean
UNDP launched in 1986 helped to place poverty high on the region's development
agenda. It analyzed the impact of debt and adjustment on living conditions;
developed methodologies for measuring poverty and its changes over time;
compiled and updated detailed information on poverty trends; and proposed
a number of policy options to deal selectively with differ-ent categories
of people living in poverty. Building upon this initiative, UNDP and the
Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) are further analyzing poverty alleviation
and social development programmes and their relationship to economic development.
A February 1993 Social Forum brought together minsters of finance, planning,
social affairs and other sectors with a wide range of civil society representatives
to discuss experiences to-date. The meeting's report, Social Reform and
Poverty: Towards a Comprehensive Agenda for Development, resulted in the
IDB Governing Board's approving new targets for social sector lending and
setting the stage for joint UNDP-IDB social development programming.
In Sri Lanka the Janasaviya Trust Fund (JTF), one of the country's
most prominent NGO support organizations, is a key instrument of the government's
anti-poverty strategy. An $87 million project funded by the World Bank,
the government and Germany aims to build the capacity of the JTF to support
NGO partner organizations as they deliver credit, training and other services
to people living in poverty, and to enable the NGOs themselves to operate
more efficiently. UNDP funds technical assistance for the project, supplementing
this with support for an Employment and Poverty Policy Unit in Sri Lanka's
Ministry of Policy Planning and Implementation.
In just six years, Mongolia's Poverty Alleviation Programme aims
to reduce the number of people living in poverty from 26.5 per cent to
10 per cent or less. Its focus is on policy management and institutional
strengthening; economic growth and employment promotion; protection of
human capital (for example, through better access to health care and education);
improving living conditions for women and rural residents and strengthening
the social safety net.
Area Development Schemes (ADS), based on a participatory and environmentally
sustainable approach to the eradication of poverty are being carried out
in five drought-prone rural areas of Sudan. Developed with several
other UN agencies, the schemes have benefitted about half a million people
in 2000 of the country's poorest villages. Participants have been mobilized,
organised and trained to select, implement and manage activities through
Village Development Committees, over 30 per cent of whose members are women.
Credit comes from revolving funds jointly financed by the communities and
UNDP. Fields covered include agriculture, afforestation, water supply,
handicrafts, small-scale industry, and other income generating pursuits.
A share of profits is used to meet community health and education needs.
The programme offers useful lessons in how to move from relief to development.
In Malawi UNDP, with other UN partners, succeeded in building
strong commitment to poverty alleviation within the new government. This
was achieved through a UNDP-supported analysis of the national poverty
situation that included proposals for redressing negative social sector
trends. The entire UNDP country programme is now devoted to poverty alleviation,
which has become a key national development objective.
A statistical study in Indonesia covered social conditions in
27 provinces where more than 35 million people live in poverty. The data
it provided on the nature and incidence of poverty, and levels and trends
in social development over two decades, is being used by the government
to develop a comprehensive programme for poverty elimination.
With UNDP's facilitation and support, District Development Committees
in Nepal are enabling rural people living in poverty to set their
own development agenda. For example, employment generating activities targeted
to women are now linked to the rural credit initiatives of commercial banks,
while local communities ensure that small grants from the Global Environment
Facility protect and regenerate the local environment.
In Mozambique a recently approved pilot project focusing on the
transition from reconstruction to sustainable rural development will be
implemented in nine communities in three provinces. It will assist these
communities in preparing and implementing small-scale projects that respond
to community-identified priorities by promoting village organization and
providing technical and financial assistance to a district Micro-Projects
Fund. This is expected to lead to sustainable income-earning activities.
Social Summit follow-up
Poverty was one of the main themes of the World Summit for Social Development
(WSSD) (Copenhagen, March 1995). (The others were the related issues of
employment and social integration.) In cooperation with its development
partners, UNDP contributed to preparations for the Summit by:
• bringing additional depth to the debate on the Summit's three themes
through collaborative research and the funding of publications on employment,
social exclusion, poverty and sustainable livelihoods, human security and
innovative financing mechanisms;
• sponsoring and participating in a variety of fora where poverty and
the other WSSD issues were discussed, including a Mayors' Colloquium and
meetings of the Overseas Development Council, the Business Council and
the UN Development Studies Programme;
• assisting in disseminating information and broadening the participative
involvement of the general public in discussion of WSSD themes through
use of electronic communication networks such as INTERNET;
• supporting national NGO participation in preparations for the Summit;
and
• contributing to governments' efforts to focus concretely on issues
central to the Summit through assistance to their operational programmes
in related areas.
The Summit's Declaration and Programme of Action present a unique opportunity
not only for reinforcing the importance of poverty elimination and social
development within countries' overall development efforts, but for increasing
the effectiveness of the support they receive from the UN development system
in these areas. The Programme of Action calls upon UNDP specifically "to
undertake efforts to support the implementation of social development programmes,
taking into account specific needs of countries in transition." It also
states that UNDP "should organize United Nations system efforts towards
capacity-building at the local, national and regional levels and support
the coordinated implementation of social development programmes through
its network of field offices."
As part of its strategy for implementing the Copenhagen Programme of
Action, UNDP is now helping countries broaden their thinking and operational
approaches to issues of poverty by giving more emphasis to the relationship
between poverty and equity. Recognizing that countries' policies and programmes
must be diverse and cross-sectoral — and that no single UN agency can cover
the corresponding support requirements — UNDP is working to:
• facilitate better coordination among UN development system partners,
among other things, by working closely with them to develop a unified inter-agency
approach to follow-up on the Social Summit and on the other major UN conferences
of the mid-1990s (e.g., on population and development, women and shelter).
UNDP is uniquely qualified for this coordinating role thanks to its broad
development mandate, cooperation with 175 programme countries and territories
and focus on capacity-building. In addition, UNDP Resident Representatives
normally also serve as Resident Coordinators of UN operational assistance
for development in their countries of assignment, and the UN Secretary
General has requested the UNDP Administrator to assist him in improving
overall coordination of UN operational activities for development;
• support specific operational activities across a broad range of issues
affecting poverty. Here, based on its extensive operational experience
and years of collaboration with virtually all of the UN development agencies,
UNDP engages in policy dialogue with governments, and assists them
in developing integrated, multi-sectoral approaches to poverty elimination.
These start with the empowerment of people and the creation of
an enabling environment through sound governance in partnership with civil
society.

WCS -- OGC Web Coverage Service
The optional GDAL WCS driver allows use of a coverage in a WCS server as a
raster dataset. GDAL acts as a client to the WCS server.
Accessing a WCS server is accomplished by creating a local service
description file that contains one <WCS_GDAL> XML
element. It is important that there is no spaces or other content
outside that element. Starting at version 2.3 the service description
file is meant to be managed by the driver in a cache directory. User
can control the contents of the service file using options.
The dataset name is either the service description file or (starting
at version 2.3) "WCS:<URL>", where the <URL> is
the URL of the server potentially appended with version, coverage, and
extra parameter strings. In that case the service description file is
managed by the driver in a cache directory along with GDAL metadata
files and servers' capability responses and coverage descriptions.
In the case of initial use of the "WCS:<URL>" dataset name
without a coverage name, the driver attempts to fetch the capabilities
document from the server, save it to the cache, parse it, create
metadata describing the service and coverage offering, save that to
the cache (same key is used), and show it to the user. Coverages are
recorded as subdatasets. Subsequent use of the driver using the "WCS:"
format will reuse the metadata obtained from the Capabilities file
unless asked to refresh or recreate. Note that the version string is a
part of the key that is used to match capabilities to coverage
descriptions.
If the URL in the "WCS:<URL>" dataset name contains a coverage
name key value pair, the driver creates an initial service description
file into the cache. If a matching capabilities document is not found,
it will be fetched first.
Despite how the service description file was obtained, when it is
first used, GDAL will fetch the coverage description, and a small test
image to establish details about the raster. This information will be
cached in the service description file to make future opens faster -
no server access should be required till imagery is read for future
opens.
However, with service version 2.0.1 (for which support is available
starting at GDAL version 2.3), it may be that the coverage has more
than two dimensions. In that case, the driver will append the coverage
metadata and show zero bands. At that point, the user must use options
to further instruct the driver how to deal with extra dimensions and
data fields.
The WCS driver supports WCS versions 1.0.0, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, and
2.0.1 at basic level (version 0.7 is not supported). Any return format
that is a single file, and is in a format supported by GDAL should
work. The driver will prefer a format with "tiff" in the name,
otherwise it will fallback to the first offered format. However, the
user may set the preferred format. Coordinate systems are read from
the DescribeCoverage result, and are expected to be in the form of
EPSG:n in the <supportedCRSs> element.
The service description file has the following additional elements as
immediate children of the WCS_GDAL element that may be
optionally set. When the "WCS:<URL>" format dataset name is
used, the contents of the service description file is meant to be
modified by using options.
- PreferredFormat: The format to use for GetCoverage calls.
- Interpolation: The interpolation method used when scaling
(requires WCS version 2.0.1).
- BandCount: Number of bands in the dataset, normally
captured from the sample request.
- BandType: The pixel data type to use. Normally
established from the sample request.
- BlockXSize: The block width to use for block cached remote
access.
- BlockYSize: The block height to use for block cached
remote access.
- NoDataValue: The nodata value to use for all the bands
(blank for none). Normally defaulted from CoverageOffering info. In
WCS version 2.0.1 this may be a comma separated list of values, one
for each band.
- Timeout: The timeout to use for remote service requests.
If not provided, the libcurl default is used.
- UserPwd: May be supplied with userid:password to
pass a userid and password to the remote server.
- HttpAuth: May be BASIC, NTLM or ANY to control the
authentication scheme to be used.
- OverviewCount: The number of overviews to represent bands
as having. Defaults to a number such that the top overview is fairly
smaller (less than 1K x 1K or so).
- GetCoverageExtra: An additional set of keywords to add to
GetCoverage requests in URL encoded form.
eg. "&RESAMPLE=BILINEAR&Band=1"
- DescribeCoverageExtra: An additional set of keywords to
add to DescribeCoverage requests in URL encoded form.
eg. "&CustNo=775"
- Version: Set a specific WCS version to use. Currently
defaults to 1.0.0 or to the server default (if WCS: name format is
used) and 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, and 2.0.1 are also supported.
- FieldName: Name of the field being accessed. Used only
with WCS 1.1.0+. Defaults to the first field in the DescribeCoverage
result. Format (in 2.0.1) field_name,field_name:field_name,..
- Domain: The axes that are used for the spatial
dimensions. The default is to use the first two axes given by the
server. The axis order swap may apply. Format:
axis_name,axis_name A field_name:field_name in the list
denotes a range of fields. (Requires WCS 2.0.1)
- Dimensions: Trim or slice a dimension when fetching data
from the server. Format:
axis_name(trim_begin_value,trim_end_value);axis_name(slice_value)
(Requires WCS 2.0.1)
- DimensionToBand: Map the given dimension, for example
'time', into bands. Format: axis_name (Requires WCS 2.0.1)
- DefaultTime: A timePosition to use by default when
accessing coverages with a time dimension. Populated with the last
offered time position by default. (Only for version 1.0.0)
- Elements that may be needed to deal with server quirks
- OriginNotCenter100: Set to consider WCS version 1.0.0 grid
origin to be at the pixel boundary instead of the pixel center. (Use
for MapServer versions <= 7.0.6)
- OuterExtents: Set to consider WCS 1.1 extents as boundaries
or outer pixels instead of centers of outer pixels. (Use for
GeoServer).
- BufSizeAdjust: Set to 0.5 in WCS 1.1 if data access fails
due to the response not having expected size. (Use for
GeoServer).
- OffsetsPositive: Use with MapServer in WCS version
2.0.1. together wwith NrOffsets.
- NrOffsets: Set to 2 if the server requires that there are
only two values in the GridOffsets. Use when the server is MapServer
or ArcGIS. With MapServer use also OffsetsPositive.
- GridCRSOptional: Let the driver skip Grid* parameters from
a WCS 1.1 GetCoverage request if the request is not scaled. Do not use
for GeoServer.
- NoGridAxisSwap: Set to tell the driver not to swap axis
order. When reading the grid geometry (in WCS 1.1 the origin and
offsets, in WCS 2.0.1 the grid envelope, axis labels, and offsets) no
axis order swap is done although it would otherwise be done if this
flag is set. In 1.1 it would be done if the CRS has inverted axes. In
2.0.1 it would be done if the axisOrder of the sequenceRule in
GridFunction defines so. This is needed usually both in 1.1 and 2.0.1
when parsing coverage descriptions from MapServer and GeoServer.
- SubsetAxisSwap Set to tell the driver to swap the axis
names in boundedBy.Envelope.axisLabels when making WCS 2.0.1
GetCoverage request. Needed for GeoServer when EPSG dictates axis
order swap.
- UseScaleFactor: Set to tell the driver to use scale by
factor approach instead of scale to size when making a WCS 2.0.1
GetCoverage request. Required when the server is ArcGIS.
Open options
When the "WCS:<URL>" dataset name format is used, open options
are used to control the driver and the contents of the service
description file. In the case the URL does not contain coverage name,
the service description file is not used and thus in that case the
options are not written into it. Open options are given separate to
the dataset name, with GDAL utility programs they are given using the
-oo switch (-oo "NAME=VALUE"). The -oo swicth expects only
one option but more options can be given repeating the switch.
In addition to DescribeCoverageExtra and GetCoverageExtra, which are
stored in the service description file, there is also
GetCapabilitiesExtra, which can be used as an open option when requesting
the overall capabilities from the server.
The open option SKIP_GETCOVERAGE can be used to prevent the driver
making a GetCoverage request to the server, which it usually does if
it can't determine the band count and band data type from the
capabilities or coverage descriptions. This option may be needed if
GetCoverage request fails.
All above listed element names can be given as options to the WCS
driver. In the case of flags the option should formally be
"Name=TRUE", but only "Name" suffices.
The cache
When the "WCS:<URL>" dataset name format is used, the server
responses, the service description file, and the metadata files are
stored in a cache. Generally, if the needed resource is in the cache,
it will be used and no extra calls to the server are done.
The cache control options/flags are
- CACHE_DIR=path (The default location of the cache directory is
$HOME/.gdal/wcs_cache)
- CLEAR_CACHE (The cache is completely initialized and all files are
deleted.)
- REFRESH_CACHE (The cache entry, either capabilities or coverage,
depending on the call at hand, is deleted.)
- RECREATE_META (The metadata file (.aux.xml) is recreated,
either the server or the coverage related metadata file depending on
the call at hand.)
- RECREATE_SERVICE (The service description file is
re-initialized. Note that the service file is always updated with
elements given as options.
The WCS: dataset name format
The URL in the dataset name is not a complete WCS request URL. The
request URL, specifically, its query part, for GetCapabilities,
DescribeCoverage, and GetCoverage requests is composed by the
driver. Typically the user should only need to add to the server
address the version and coverage parameters. The string 'coverage' can
be used as the coverage parameter key although different WCS versions
use different keys. 'coverage' is also always used in the cache key.
The user may add non-standard extra parameters to the URL. However,
when that is done, it should be noted that the URL is a cache database
key and capability documents are linked to coverage documents through
the key. Please consider using the *Extra open options.
Time
Starting with GDAL 1.9.0, this driver includes experimental support
for time based WCS 1.0.0 servers. On initial access the last offered
time position will be identified as the DefaultTime. Each time
position available for the coverage will be treated as a
subdataset.
Note that time based subdatasets are not supported when the service description
is the filename. Currently time support is not available for versions other

Vision
Increase people’s agency through fair micro-jobs
Our core value is ensuring equal opportunity for everyone to develop themselves. A lot of people live under circumstances where they have very little control over their own lives due to economic hardship. We aim to increase their agency by providing them quality jobs with fair pay that take away the limitations that limit them.
Our Goal
We’re building Humainly as a non-profit social business. That means we want to create meaningful impact, and believe that’s best achieved by aligning social needs with economical driving forces. No handouts, no gifts. We all have to earn it. But people deserve opportunities, and that’s what we do. We connect the need for image annotation in the west with the need for quality, fairly paying jobs in poor areas of the world. And the only way to do it successfully, is by providing our customers with the absolute best service they can possibly find.
History
We’re part of the original founding members behind the Computer Vision consulting firm WebMonks. Our aim was to create social impact in this world for people in poverty stricken areas of the world. We decided we wanted to create fair jobs for people in Venezuela. So what better way to do that than through digital jobs that serve the same market for the same technology we know so well?


FORCES OF NATURE (DreamWorks) Starring: Sandra Bullock, Ben Affleck, Maura Tierney, Steve Zahn, Blythe Danner, Ronny Cox, Stephen Schiff. Screenplay: Marc Lawrence. Producers: Susan Arnold, Donna Arkoff Roth and Ian Bryce. Director: Bronwen Hughes. MPAA Rating: PG-13 (profanity, adult themes, drug use) Running Time: 105 minutes. Reviewed by Scott Renshaw.
 I spent the first hour of FORCES OF NATURE slowly stewing over its grim attitude towards marriage, grousing to myself about its transparently PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES plot machinations, and waiting for the inevitable Hollywood denouement. This was a mass market romantic comedy, after all, a genre which has been taken over by teenagers and, even in its best days, worked hard to perpetuate the romance = infatuation paradigm. Then Marc Lawrence did something wonderful, something which made the entire film click into place: he showed me a comic love story about grown-ups.
It certainly didn't look that way from the outset, which introduces groom-to-be Ben Holmes (Ben Affleck) at his bachelor party, surrounded by friends and family whooping over his "last night of freedom." Ben loves his fiancee Bridget (Maura Tierney), but the doom-and-gloom pronouncements of everyone around him have him questioning the meaning of this 'till death do you part business. Then, on an ill-fated flight from New York to his wedding in Savannah, Ben meets Sarah Lewis (Sandra Bullock), a free-spirited woman with a string of failed careers and relationships behind her. As transportation troubles thwart them at every turn, Ben and Sarah begin a three-day southward journey in which their connection grows ever stronger, Ben seeing in Sarah the chances he's never taken and Sarah seeing in Ben the stability she's never had.
FORCES OF NATURE gets off to a solid enough start, setting up the characters and the situations with plenty of witty dialogue. Ben is an ideal role for Affleck's easy-going charm, and he plays the straight-laced straight man without forced exasperation. Sandra Bullock, for her part, is more loose and appealing than she has been in her last half-dozen films combined, avoiding her recent habit of playing any semblance of character depth as moping. The two performances -- part of a great top-to-bottom cast -- are effective and connected from the start, yet the script's apparent sympathy with the marital horror stories Ben hears makes it difficult to enjoy the romance completely. Lively and funny though it may be on a consistent basis, FORCES OF NATURE leaves a bitter taste that feels like self-justification.
The kicker is that those acidic anecdotes serve exactly the opposite purpose, leading to a surprisingly emotional resolution. FORCES OF NATURE isn't about a man developing a fear of commitment; it's about a man learning what commitment means _to him_, learning that it's not what he thought it was. Lawrence's script feints and dodges before reaching its happy ending, an ending which is happy because people make the choices that make the most sense. Earlier scenes that might have felt like throwaways take on more resonance, and that bitter taste sweetens into something fresh and genuine. Though one too many plot contrivances keep Ben and Sarah together through the film, and they do exchange the obligatory mutual character analysis of bickering screen couples, FORCES OF NATURE wraps up so perfectly that you'll end up remembering the humor and the simple wisdom.
That is, provided you're not put off by the ridiculously busy direction of Bronwen Hughes. For a brisk romantic comedy, FORCES OF NATURE comes loaded with some of the most over-directed scenes of the year: teetering hand-held shots, why-not low or high angles, sweeping pans. Occasionally the hyper-real approach works, with cinematographer Elliot Davis creating a world of fantasy romance; far more often, Hughes refuses to let a scene be what it is, covering it with flourishes so thick you almost can't find what's underneath. A script this smart and mature deserved a more restrained director, but even Hughes' excesses can't spoil this unique concoction. FORCES OF NATURE may restore your faith in romantic comedy as something with the power to enchant, something that can make you happy to be proved wrong when you expect a tale for and about adolescents.
On the Renshaw scale of 0 to 10 special forces: 7.

The Sauce of SMU
The rep the colors of the nation we come from. The SMU Mustangs football program is a college football team that represents Southern Methodist University (more commonly "SMU"). The team competes in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) as a member of the American Athletic Conference. In June 1915, Ray Morrison became SMU's football, baseball, basketball, and track coach, in addition to being a math instructor. The football team began as a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, playing at Armstrong Field. The first game played by SMU's football team was a 13–2 victory over Hendrix College. After winning two games in a span of two seasons, Morrison left SMU for Fort Oglethorpe upon the United States’ entry into World War I.
During this time, the football team was known as "the Parsons", due to the large number of theology students on the team. On October 17, 1917, the name "Mustangs" was selected as the school's mascot. For the 1917 season, Morrison was replaced by J. Burton Rix, who led the Mustangs to a 3–2–3 record in their final season in the TIAA.
