The success of Jane Austen on the silver screen has led to a sudden outpouring of movies based on classic literature. The flood, which has already started, will include new features from the works of William Shakespeare, Henry James, Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, and Henry James. Suddenly, all the novels we were forced to read in high school and college English classes are being filmed.
THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY, the first motion picture adaptation of James' beloved classic, presents a stark contrast to the light-and-sunny Austen movies. Although it examines some of the same issues as PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, and EMMA, the perspective is much darker (although not, it should be pointed out, as dark as that chosen by Hardy). Those expecting a light romance from THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY are in for a rude awakening.
Even though THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY deals with characters and situations in late nineteenth century Europe, its relevance for today's audiences is undeniable. Social standards and practices have changed dramatically in the last one-hundred years, but human nature remains immutable. Actually, director Jane Campion (THE PIANO) is a little too obvious about connecting this 1881 story with the 1990s. She opens the film with a brief montage featuring contemporary, young Australian women ruminating about kissing, love, and intimacy, then abruptly shifts to a close-up of Nicole Kidman's face.
Kidman, an Australian-born actress using a passable American accent, plays Isabel Archer, a headstrong-but-naive young woman who, as the story opens in 1872, has recently arrived in England from America. While there, she's staying at the estate of her aunt (Shelly Winters) and uncle (John Gielgud). Her closest companion and confidante is her cousin, Ralph Touchett (Martin Donovan), a consumptive who encourages his father to will a large sum of money to Isabel. She is also pursued by two suitors: the rich and unexciting Lord Warburton (Richard E. Grant) and the dashing Caspar Goodwood (Viggo Mortensen). She rejects both, saying "I don't want to be a mere sheep in the flock. I shall probably never marry." Her desire is to explore the world and forge her own way in it.
When her uncle dies, leaving her a fortune of 70,000 pounds, she has the financial means to do so. She begins to travel, spending a great deal of time in Italy. But her naivete enables her to be led astray by the sinister Madame Serena Merle (Barbara Hershey), whom she falsely believes to be her friend. Madame Merle contrives a meeting between Isabel and the dangerous Gilbert Osmond (John Malkovich). Soon, Isabel, seduced by Osmond's promises of love, agrees to marry him, believing that she will have the upper hand in their union. Too late, she recognizes Osmond's true nature.
Those familiar with Jane Campion's previous effort, THE PIANO, will not be surprised by the dismal tone of THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY, which, if anything, is even more grim than that of the novel. Campion films over half of the scenes in dim light, making effective use of contrast to highlight character attributes. Isabel is frequently shown standing in patches of light while Madame Merle and Osmond keep to the shadows. Occasionally, Campion gets a little too artsy, as in a surreal, black- and-white dream sequence where Isabel's subconscious wrestles with Osmond's declaration of love.
There are problems with PORTRAIT's structure and pace, which could easily be the result of trying to condense a 600+ page book into a one- hundred forty-five minute movie. A great deal of background is omitted, which makes the beginning of the film erratic and, at times, almost incoherent. The first third -- that portion which occurs before Osmond makes his initial appearance -- is rather dull and uninvolving. Isabel's character doesn't really start developing until Osmond comes on the scene. Up to that point, she's just an independent 23-year old with insatiable curiosity but not much personality. Later, especially as the movie builds to an emotionally-wrenching climax, we are drawn into Isabel's world.
As has been the case in almost every period drama released in 1996, the acting is impeccable. Nicole Kidman impresses as Isabel, especially in the late scenes. We see the character's once-steadfast resolve crumble then attempt to re-assert itself as she faces her physically and psychologically abusive husband and learns the secret shrouding the identity of his lone daughter (Valentina Cervi). Since Campion has a great love of close-ups, Kidman's face and eyes enhance her performance.
John Malkovich is at his creepy best, playing Osmond as a vicious, malignant Svengali. This kind of villain is far more interesting than the ranting psychopaths who populate films with less ambition. Osmond is truly frightening, and a great deal of credit goes to Malkovich. Watching this performance, it's easy to understand how Isabel became trapped in such a relationship.
The supporting cast is solid, and includes Martin Donovan (FLIRT) as Isabel's one true love, Viggo Mortensen (DAYLIGHT) and Richard E. Grant (TWELFTH NIGHT) as her disappointed suitors, Valentina Cervi as her step-daughter, Barbara Hershey as the duplicitous Madame Merle, and Mary-Louise Parker (BOYS ON THE SIDE) as Henrietta Stackpole, Isabel's female compatriot. The settings and period detail are attended to with particular care.
THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY is a difficult story to film, and Jane Campion and screenwriter Laura Jones have done an admirable job with this adaptation. The motifs of love, betrayal, and accepting the consequences of one's actions are well-established. The movie does not attain the emotional depth of Michael Winterbottom's recent JUDE, but there are definite thematic and tonal similarities. The result is a fascinating portrait not only of a lady, but of the society and marriage that entrap, then attempt to destroy, her.

HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH : JABALPUR S.B : HON.SHRIJUSTICE VISHNU PRATAP SINGH CHAUHAN M.Cr.C. NO.27551/2017 M/s Kanti Beverages Pvt. Ltd. and another Vs. Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board Shri Sankalp Kochar, learned counsel for the applicants. Shri V.S. Shroti, learned senior counsel with Shri Sourabh Kumar Soni, learned counsel for the respondent. ORDER
(14/03/2019) The applicants have filed this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for quashing of criminal complaint filed by the respondent for the offence punishable under Sections 25, 44 and 47 of Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act of 1974'). Learned trial Court i.e. learned J.M.F.C., Raisen registered a case being Criminal Case No.1400509/2016 against the applicants.
2. The facts giving rise to this petition, in short, are that applicant No.1 is a company in the name and style of M/s Kanti Beverages Pvt. Ltd. incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956. The factory is situated at Plot No.16-B, New Industrial 2 Area-2, Mandideep, Raisen (M.P.) and applicant No.2 is the Managing Director of that company. Respondent filed a complaint against the applicants for the offence punishable under Sections 25, 44 and 47 of the Act of 1974 alleging therein that on 16/03/2016 authorised officer of the respondent inspected exuding untreated industrial effluent discharging outside the factory. After being taken a sample, the same was sent to the Analyst who, after examination, reported that the water was polluted. In that way, exuding untreated industrial effluent coming from the factory of the company was found polluted, that was the violation of Section 25 and punishable under Sections 44 and 47 of the Act of 1974. The respondent filed a complaint under Section 200 of Cr.P.C. against the applicants before the JMFC, Raisen. Learned JMFC vide order dated 09/08/2016 registered the complaint and issued notice to the applicants for their appearance before the Court.
3. Applicant No.2 appeared before the trial Court on 24/01/2017 in person and was enlarged on bail, the case was fixed for appearance of applicant No.1 arrayed as a company. Later on, this case was posted for evidence before the charge. 3 On 29/07/2011 applicants filed an application under Section 245(2) of Cr.P.C. and another application under Section 21 of the Act of 1974. Learned trial Court after hearing both interlocutory applications vide order dated 20/11/2017 dismissed both the applications.
4. Being aggrieved by that dismissal order, the applicants have filed this petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. on the ground that the order dated 09/08/2017 passed by the trial Court is cryptic, caviler and contrary to law. In terms of articles of association, the Board vide resolution dated 04/08/2014 appointed Mr. Pancholi to act as Factory Manager and he was authorized to oversee every aspect of production process and was also authorized to represent the company in any case/prosecution/proceedings concerning factory operation and Mr. Pancholi was authorized to be tried/heard/proceeded. Respondent No.2 is the Managing Director of the company who resides in Indore, had no role in the day-today affairs of the company. It is further contended that the company obtained consent order from the Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board with reference to discharging exuding untreated industrial effluent into the 4 natural water courses under the provisions of Sections 25 and 26 of the Act of 1974, therefore, the applicants have not violated any provision of the Act of 1974. It is further contended that the respondent has not complied with the procedure laid down in Section 21 of the Act of 1974. The sample was not divided into two parts which is contrary to the provisions of sub-section (5) of Section 21 of the Act of 1974. One part of the sample was not given to the company's representatives. Before taking the sample, no notice has been provided to the company's employees. Respondent No.2 adopted arbitrary and illegal procedure while taking the sample, therefore, prays to quash the complaint filed against the applicants.
5. Learned senior counsel for the respondent submits that applicant No.2, being a Managing Director, is authorized to look after all the affairs of the factory. His duty was to supervise whether exuding untreated industrial effluent was not discharging into the natural water. Before taking sample, notice has already been given to the employee of the company who was present during sampling and not demanded one part of the sample, therefore, on that account, 5 Officers of the respondent had not filled the water in two parts and divided the same into two parts. Had they raised objection of demanding of one part, the sample would have been taken into two parts. This petition has been filed on the wrong facts, hence, prays for dismissal of the petition.
6. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.
7. The applicants have filed this petition on the ground that applicant No.2 is not liable to be impleaded as an accused in the complaint because the company has passed a resolution to that effect that Shri Mukesh Pancholi (Factory Manager) has been appointed as the person responsible for day-today affairs of the case including Government Department and functionaries that's why he is only the man who is to be impleaded as an accused not applicant No.2 who is residing at Indore and not looking after the day-today affairs of the factory. Secondly, on the ground that the officers of the respondent have not adopted legal procedure for taking the sample. Thirdly, the applicants obtained consent order from the M.P. Pollution Control Board with reference of discharging exuding untreated industrial effluent 6 into natural water courses under the provisions of Sections 25 and 26 of the Act of 1974 and the respondent also issued environmental clearance certificate vide letter dated 28/09/2013.
8. Now considered the first point raised by learned counsel for the applicants. Applicant No.2, being Managing Director, was not looking after the day-today affairs of the factory and Mr. Mukesh Pancholi has been appointed to look after and responsible for the day-today affairs of the factory vide resolution dated 04/08/2014 passed by the Board of Directors of the company in terms of articles of association and he was authorized to oversee every aspect of the production process. Copy of that resolution has been filed along with this petition as Annexure-A/2. This resolution was communicated to the Officers of the respondent-Board vide letter dated 5th August, 2014. When this letter has been communicated to the officers of the respondent why respondent arrayed applicant No.2 as an accused. Learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent has submitted that Managing Director comes under the definition of "every person" who is looking after the affairs of the 7 company as well as the factory where from it was alleged that exuding untreated industrial effluent coming from out the factory was found polluted.
9. Learned counsel for the applicants has submitted copy of order dated 20/06/2016 passed in M.Cr.C. No.13107/2015 (Manu Anand Managing Director Vs. Madhya Pradesh Pollution Control Board) by the Gwalior Bench of this Court. Perused the order passed by the Gwalior Bench of this Court. Gwalior Bench of this Court while deciding the aforesaid case, has referred the judgments passed by Hon'ble the Apex Court in the cases of Pepsi India Holdings (P) Ltd Vs. Food Inspector and another, (2011) 1 SCC 176 (Para-50), Girdhari Lal Gupta Vs. D.H. Mehta and another, AIR 1971 SC 2162 (para-6) and Puja Ravinder Devidasani Vs. State of Maharashtra and another, AIR 2015 SC 675 (paras-18, 19 and 20). In the said case, the petitioner was Managing Director of the Factory. The Board of Directors of the company passed a resolution and authorized Mr. Jai Kumar Nair as Factory Manager to look after the day-today work of the factory and made responsible for any other civil and criminal proceeding, therefore, the Gwalior Bench of this 8 Court after discussing the matter at length concluded that if there is a resolution passed by the Board of Directors of the company authorizing any person to look after the affairs of the factory, Managing Director of the company, as per complaint made by the complainant, neither falls within the terms "every person" mentioned in Section 47(1) nor can be made an accused under Section 47(2) of the Act of 1974 in absence of allegation of consent, connivance or neglect. The facts of that case are identical to the facts of the present case.
10. In the present case, vide resolution dated 4 th August, 2014 it was resolved that pursuant to the provisions of the Companies act, 2013 and in terms of Articles of Association of the Company, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Mukesh Pancholi to act as Factory Manager and he was authorized by the board to oversee every aspect of the production process and also authorized him to represent the company in any prosecution/proceedings. He may be tried/heard/proceeded with and also authorized to sign and file pleadings, appeals, cross-objections, petition, applications, affidavit or other documents as may be deemed necessary or proper for the proceedings. This resolution 9 which is filed with this petition shows that the Managing Director is not covered under the notification of "every person" as defined under Section 47(1) of the Act of 1974 because he is residing at Indore not looking after day-today affairs of the factory as per the resolution passed by the Board of Directors of the Company and this resolution has already been communicated to the respondent vide letter dated 5 th August, 2014. There is a receiving with seal put on Annexure-A/2 which shows that respondent was well within the knowledge before filing the complaint that Mr. Mukesh Pancholi is responsible for day-today affairs of the factory. This Court is of the view that applicant No.2-Vishal Parasram Puriya has wrongly been arrayed as accused No.2.
11. Now considered the second and third points which are raised by learned counsel for the applicants. These objections are pertaining to process of sampling and mode of sampling. Learned counsel for the applicants has submitted that the officers of the respondent have not taken a proper sample as per law and the applicant No.1-company is having consent order issued by the Pollution Board. This Court is of the view that these objections are pertaining to evidence which 10 are to be produced or lead before the trial Court during trial. Applicant No.1 would be having opportunity to lead the evidence on that point or cross-examine of the witness produced by the respondent who prepared samples as alleged not adopted the process of sampling properly. For that reasons. These issues are in gestation stage, this Court is not inclined to invoke the inherent powers envisaged under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. on these issues.
12. Consequently, the petition is partly allowed. The impugned order passed in Criminal Case No.1400509/2016 so far as it relates to applicant No.2 is concerned, the same is hereby quashed. The criminal proceeding so far it relates to applicant No.2-Vishal Parasram Puriya is concerned, the same is hereby quashed and the respondent is free to initiate proceedings and arrayed the person who is responsible for day-today affairs appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company i.e. Mukesh Pancholi. Learned counsel for the parties submit that respondent has moved an application for arraying Mukesh Pancholi as an accused in the complaint before the trial Court. If that is the position, the trial Court is 11 free to proceed in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to cost.

类常量
可以把在类中始终保持不变的值定义为常量。在定义和使用常量的时候不需要使用 $ 符号
。
常量的值必须是一个定值，不能是变量，类属性，数学运算的结果或函数调用。
接口（interface）中也可以定义常量。更多示例见文档中的接口部分。
自 PHP 5.3.0 起，可以用一个变量来动态调用类。但该变量的值不能为关键字（如 self
，parent 或 static）。
Example #1 定义和使用一个类常量
showConstant();
echo $class::constant."\n"; // 自 PHP 5.3.0 起
?>
Example #2 静态数据示例
和 heredoc 不同，nowdoc 可以用在任何静态数据中。
Note:
Nowdoc 支持是在 PHP 5.3.0 新增的。

===============================================================================
It may seem obvious, but class constants are always publicly visible. They
cannot be made private or protected. I do not see it state that in the docs
anywhere.
===============================================================================
As of PHP 5.6 you can finally define constant using math expressions, like this
one:
Me happy :)
===============================================================================
[Editor's note: that is already possible as of PHP 5.6.0.]
Note, as of PHP7 it is possible to define class constants with an array.
string(1) "A"
[1]=>
string(1) "B"
[2]=>
string(1) "C"
}
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(1) "1"
[1]=>
string(1) "2"
[2]=>
string(1) "3"
}
*/
?>
===============================================================================
const can also be used directly in namespaces, a feature never explicitly
stated in the documentation.
int(1)
?>
===============================================================================
it's possible to declare constant in base class, and override it in child, and
access to correct value of the const from the static method is possible by
'get_called_class' method:
";//output: "SELECT * FROM `persons`"
echo dbAdmin::GetAll()."
";//output: "SELECT * FROM `admins`"
?>
===============================================================================
I think it's useful if we draw some attention to late static binding here:
my_const_self ? 'yes' : 'no'; // output: no
echo $b->my_const_static ? 'yes' : 'no'; // output: yes
?>
===============================================================================
Most people miss the point in declaring constants and confuse then things by
trying to declare things like functions or arrays as constants. What happens
next is to try things that are more complicated then necessary and sometimes
lead to bad coding practices. Let me explain...
A constant is a name for a value (but it's NOT a variable), that usually will
be replaced in the code while it gets COMPILED and NOT at runtime.
So returned values from functions can't be used, because they will return a
value only at runtime.
Arrays can't be used, because they are data structures that exist at runtime.
One main purpose of declaring a constant is usually using a value in your code,
that you can replace easily in one place without looking for all the
occurences. Another is, to avoid mistakes.
Think about some examples written by some before me:
1. const MY_ARR = "return array(\"A\", \"B\", \"C\", \"D\");";
It was said, this would declare an array that can be used with eval. WRONG!
This is just a string as constant, NOT an array. Does it make sense if it would
be possible to declare an array as constant? Probably not. Instead declare the
values of the array as constants and make an array variable.
2. const magic_quotes = (bool)get_magic_quotes_gpc();
This can't work, of course. And it doesn't make sense either. The function
already returns the value, there is no purpose in declaring a constant for the
same thing.
3. Someone spoke about "dynamic" assignments to constants. What? There are no
dynamic assignments to constants, runtime assignments work _only_ with
variables. Let's take the proposed example:
time = time() + 1; // dynamic assignment
}
}
?>
Those aren't constants, those are properties of the class. Something like
"this->time = time()" would even totally defy the purpose of a constant.
Constants are supposed to be just that, constant values, on every execution.
They are not supposed to change every time a script runs or a class is
instantiated.
Conclusion: Don't try to reinvent constants as variables. If constants don't
work, just use variables. Then you don't need to reinvent methods to achieve
things for what is already there.
===============================================================================
Use CONST to set UPPER and LOWER LIMITS
If you have code that accepts user input or you just need to make sure input is
acceptable, you can use constants to set upper and lower limits.  For example, it is not possible for the width or height of a Dimension
to be negative. It is up to you to keep phoney input from corrupting your
objects, and to avoid potential errors and exceptions in other parts of your
code.
===============================================================================
Class constants are allocated per instance of the class. If you create a class
with 100 constants, each with 100 bytes, and 100 instances of that class, you
will use 1 million bytes. Obviously that is a fringe case but remember that
when you are creating constants that you might not need in every instance.
===============================================================================
Re: "The value must be a constant expression, not (for example) a variable, a
property, a result of a mathematical operation, or a function call."
I dare say that "a mathematical operation" can indeed be a constant expression.
I was quite surprised by this limitation; you cannot, for example do something
like:
const LIMITMB = 20;
const LIMITB = LIMITMB * 1024 * 1024;
It is very common to be able to express something like that in other languages,
like C with #defines, where changing one definition has a cascading effect on
others without having to pre-calculate hard-coded numbers all over the place.
So beware, you might be better off using a private static or global contstant
definition if you need to do anything more sophisticated than a name=primitive
value pair.
===============================================================================
Noted by another is that class constants take up memory for every instance. I
cannot see this functionality being accurate, so testing thusly:
class SomeClass {
const thing = 0;
const thing2 = 1;
}
$m0 = memory_get_usage();
$p0 = new SomeClass();
$p1 = new SomeClass();
$p2 = new SomeClass();
$m1 = memory_get_usage();
printf("memory %d
", $m1 - $m0);
The output does not change when one alters the count of constants in
"SomeClass".
===============================================================================
Square or curly bracket syntax can normally be used to access a single byte
(character) within a string. For example: $mystring[5]. However, please note
that (for some reason) this syntax is not accepted for string class constants
(at least, not in PHP 5.5.12).
For example, the following code gives "PHP Parse error: syntax error,
unexpected '[' in php shell code on line 6".
It looks like you have to use a variable/class member instead.
===============================================================================
additional to tmp dot 4 dot longoria at gmail dot com ´s post:
quote:

/quote
Its not that we overwrite them.
Its more that each got its own:
im class dbPerson{} and this is my:
self TABLE_NAME: '.dbPerson::getSelf().' // persons
parent TABLE_NAME: '.dbPerson::getParent().' // undefined
im class dbAdmin{} and this is my:
self TABLE_NAME: '.dbAdmin::getSelf().' // admins
parent TABLE_NAME: '.dbAdmin::getParent().' // persons
';
?>
or more readable:
im class A{} and this is my:
self CONSTANT: '.A::getSelf().' // CONST_A
parent CONSTANT: '.A::getParent().' // CONST_PARENT
';
?>
===============================================================================
The major problem of constants is for me, you cant use them for binary flags.
This code will not work because constants can't be an calculation result. You
could use
instead, but we use flags to be value indipendent. So you would miss target
with it. Only way is to use defines like ever before.
===============================================================================
I thought it would be relevant to point out that with php 5.5, you can not use
self::class, static::class, or parent::class to produce a FQN. Doing so
produces a PHP Parse error:
"PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'class' (T_CLASS), expecting
variable (T_VARIABLE) or '$'"
It would be nice if you could do this however.
===============================================================================
Suprisingly consts are lazy bound even though you use self instead of static:
===============================================================================
A useful technique I've found is to use interfaces for package- or
application-wide constants, making it easy to incorporate them into any classes
that need access to them:
test(); // outputs "Hello, world."
?>
I realize the same could be done simply by defining the constant in a class and
accessing it via "class_name::const_name", but I find this a little nicer in
that the class declaration makes it immediately obvious that you accessing
values from the implemented interface.
===============================================================================
If you have a class which defines a constant which may be overridden in child
definitions, here are two methods how the parent can access that constant:
The two options to place in the parent accessor are:
eval('$danger = ' . $class . '::danger;');
or:
$danger = constant($class . '::danger');
I prefer the last option, but they both seem to work.
So, why might this be useful? Well, in my case I have a page class which
contains various common functions for all pages and specific page classes
extend this parent class. The parent class has a static method which takes an
argument (class name) and returns a new instantiation of the class.
Each child class has a constant which defines the access level the user must
have in order to view the page. The parent must check this variable before
creating and returning an instance of the child - the problem is that the class
name is a variable and $class::danger will treat $class as an object.
===============================================================================
pre 5.3 can refer a class using variable and get constants with:
===============================================================================
class Country{
const IND = "India';
const PK='Pakistan';
contst NK='Nanhe kumar';
}
$countryCode='IND';
constant("Country::$countryCode");
$countryCode='PK';
constant("Country::$countryCode");
===============================================================================
Since constants of a child class are not accessible from the parent class via
self::CONST and there is no special keyword to access the constant (like
this::CONST), i use private static variables and these two methods to make them
read-only accessible from object's parent/child classes as well as statically
from outside:
With those methods in the child class, you are now able to read the variables
from the parent or child class:
getConst('CONST');
}
abstract public static function getConstFromOutside($const);
abstract protected function getConst($const);
}
?>
From outside of the object:
You maybe want to put the methods into an interface.
However, class b's attribute $CONST is not a constant, so it is changeable by
methods inside of class b, but it works for me and in my opinion, it is better
than using real constants and accessing them by calling with eval:
===============================================================================
Lest anyone think this is somehow an omission in PHP, there is simply no point
to having a protected or private constant. Access specifiers identify who has
the right to *change* members, not who has the right to read them:

As you can see from the results of this code, the protected and private static
members of Test are still visible if you know where to look. The protection and
privacy are applicable only on writing, not reading -- and since nobody can
write to a constant at all, assigning an access specifier to it is just
redundant.
===============================================================================
Note that since constants are tied to the class definition, they are static by
definition and cannot be accessed using the -> operator.
A side effect of this is that it's entirely possible for a class constant to
have the same name as a property (static or object):
foo); // object property
var_dump(bar::foo); // class constant
?>

Kids under five can make these little fishy quiches with only a bit of help - they're great for a playtime treat.
Equipment: You’ll need two dariole moulds or a 6-hole muffin tray
Before cooking, wash your hands and put an apron on. Weigh or measure all the ingredients. Ask a grown-up to preheat the oven at 200C/400F/Gas 6. Brush the inside of two dariole moulds or two parts of the muffin tray with vegetable oil.
Roll the two slices of bread flat with a rolling pin, pressing down well. Then cut two circles 8-9cm in diameter with a pastry cutter.
Break the egg into a mixing bowl, add a pinch of pepper and the milk and whisk up with the fork. Dip the circles of bread into the eggy mixture then push the circles into the oiled dariole moulds or muffin tray.
Cut the trout fillet into small pieces with scissors (ask a grown-up for help with the scissors) and add them to leftover egg mixture. Then chop the chives with the scissors and add to the eggy mixture along with the horseradish.
Put the moulds or muffin tray onto a baking tray. Pour the remaining eggy mixture into the eggy bread-lined cases. You may not need all the mixture.
Ask a grown-up to place the tray into the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden-brown and the egg is set. Serve with a few tomatoes.

If you’re looking to improve scalability, reduce overhead costs, and standardize software deployments across multiple machines and platforms, containers and virtual machines (VMs) are two of the top approaches in use today. They’re not mutually exclusive, either—both can help your IT team become more agile and responsive to business demands. However, the concepts can be confusing.
Both containers and virtual machines (VMs) are software technologies that create self-contained virtual packages. Beyond that commonality, they differ in their operations, characteristics and use cases.
So, to distinguish between containers and VMs, we’ve rounded up the basics on each.
Containerization or virtualization: What’s the right path for us?
Virtualization enables you to run multiple operating systems on the hardware of a single physical server, while containerization enables you to deploy multiple applications using the same operating system on a single virtual machine or server.
Virtual machines are great for supporting applications that require an operating system’s full functionality when you want to deploy multiple applications on a server, or when you have a wide variety of operating systems to manage. Containers are a better choice when your biggest priority is to minimize the number of servers you’re using for multiple applications.
Your use case matters too. Containers are an excellent choice for tasks with a much shorter lifecycle. With their fast set up time, they are suitable for tasks that may only take a few hours. Virtual machines have a longer lifecycle than containers, and are best used for longer periods of time.
The way forward for your organization will depend on everything from the size of your operations and workflows to your IT culture and skill sets. And, containerization and virtualization technologies are coming together in some interesting new ways that could influence your decision making.
Ultimately, virtualization and containerization may both have a place in your IT strategy. Consider your ultimate goals, immediate use cases, and team skill set before setting down a specific path.


The Archive of Interesting Code is an (ambitious) effort on my part to research, intuit, and code up every interesting algorithm and data structure ever invented. In doing so, I hope both to learn the mathematical techniques that power these technologies and to improve my skills as a programmer.
The examples on this site are in a variety of languages. I generally prefer to use C++ for algorithms, since the STL provides a great framework for expressing algorithms that work on a variety of data types. I code up most data structures in Java, both because the Collections framework allows them to be integrated in seamlessly with other applications and because automatic garbage collection simplifies some of the resource management. Every now and then I'll find an algorithm or data structure that is best represented in a different language like Haskell, in which case I'll forgo my usual language conventions.
In case you're curious what I'm someday hoping to having implemented on this page, you can check out my TODO list.
If you're interested in using any of this code in your applications, feel free to do so! You don't need to cite me or this website as a source, though I would appreciate it if you did. However, please don't plagiarize the code here by claiming authorship - that would just be dishonest. I also caution you that while I'm fairly confident that the code on this site is correct, I haven't mercilessly tested every line, and so there may be a lurking bug or two here.
Enjoy!

| 006:035 Khan | : |
If their aversion (from you, O Muhammad SAW and from that with which you have been sent) is hard on you, (and you cannot be patient from their harm to you), then if you were able to seek a tunnel in the ground or a ladder to the sky, so that you may bring them a sign (and you cannot do it, so be patient). And had Allah willed, He could have gathered them together (all) unto true guidance, so be not you one of those who are Al- Jahilun (the ignorant). |
| 006:035 Maulana | : |
And if their turning away is hard on thee, then, if thou canst, seek an opening into the earth or a ladder to heaven, to bring them a sign! And if Allah pleased, He would certainly have gathered them all to guidance, so be not of the ignorant. |
| 006:035 Pickthal | : |
And if their aversion is grievous unto thee, then, if thou canst, seek a way down into the earth or a ladder unto the sky that thou mayst bring unto them a portent (to convince them all)! - If Allah willed, He could have brought them all together to the guidance - So be not thou among the foolish ones. |
| 006:035 Rashad | : |
If their rejection gets to be too much for you, you should know that even if you dug a tunnel through the earth, or climbed a ladder into the sky, and produced a miracle for them (they still would not believe). Had GOD willed, He could have guided them, unanimously. Therefore, do not behave like the ignorant ones. |
| 006:035 Sarwar | : |
(Muhammad), if their refusal of the faith is so grievous to you and if you can dig up the earth or ascend into the sky in search of further evidence to inevitably make them believe you, you should have done so, but note that had God wanted, He could have made them all follow the same guidance. Do not ever be unaware (of this fact). |
| 006:035 Shakir | : |
And if their turning away is hard on you, then if you can seek an opening (to go down) into the earth or a ladder (to ascend up) to heaven so that you should bring them a sign and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have gathered them all on guidance, therefore be not of the ignorant. |
| 006:035 Sherali | : |
And if their turning away is hard on thee, then, if thou art able to seek a passage into the earth or a ladder unto heaven and bring them a Sign, thou canst do so. And had ALLAH enforced HIS will, HE could surely have brought them all together to the guidance. So be thou not of those who lack knowledge. |
| 006:035 Yusufali | : |
If their spurning is hard on thy mind, yet if thou wert able to seek a tunnel in the ground or a ladder to the skies and bring them a sign,- (what good?). If it were Allah's will, He could gather them together unto true guidance: so be not thou amongst those who are swayed by ignorance (and impatience)! |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the relationship to OGC’s WFS 3 specification?
A. STAC intends to be fully compliant with the upcoming WFS 3 specification including implementing WFS 3’s query methods. STAC has ended up a bit 'ahead' of some of what WFS 3 has specified so far, so there may be some divergences in the short term. But the ideal situation for STAC is that the STAC API eventually is no longer necessary - it would just be a WFS 3 with a curated set of extensions that serve up STAC Items.
Q. I have geospatial raster data, should I use STAC?
A. Yes! So long as you can address your data in space and time and link directly to your data.
Q. I have vector data, should I use STAC?
A. No. Vector data should be handled directly with WFS 3.
Q. I have non-geospatial data, should I use STAC?
A. No. Data that has no context in space and time is not suited to STAC. Though providers of that data are welcome to 'borrow' STAC ideas and we could converge in the future on higher level specifications (like non-spatial or non-temporal 'items' or common catalog structures).
Q. What is the relationship between STAC and ISO 19115?
A. We are still figuring out the exact recommendation, but in general STAC is focused on search and discovery, while ISO 19115 aims to be the definitive metadata description. Likely one would derive a STAC Item from an ISO 19115 file by only using a subset of the fields, and mapping them to the matching STAC fields. And then the STAC Item would have an 'asset' link that lets users who need the full, definitive metadata to download the ISO 19115 file. Ideally we would have an ISO 19115 STAC Extension that details exactly how to do this mapping, but as yet no one has tried to do a real world implementation that exposes ISO 19115 files. Contributions on this front are definitely welcome, as STAC Community aims to 'play nice' with everyone.


data class LocalCacheState<CACHE : Any>
Local response (response obtained from the user or device, no network fetch call) in apps are in 1 of 2 different types of state:
This class takes in a type of cacheData to keep state on via generic CACHE and it maintains the state of that cacheData. It gives you a snapshot of the state of your local response at any given time.
This class is used in companion with LocalRepository and LocalCacheStateBehaviorSubject to maintain the state of cacheData to deliver to someone observing.
object Testing
Used for testing purposes to create instances of LocalCacheState. |

Windows users may soon be waving goodbye to iTunes
by Adam SpeightApple binned iTunes in favour of new Podcasts, TV and Music apps some time ago for macOS, but it looks like Windows computers will finally follow suit if job adverts for a Windows-savvy Apple hiring is anything to go by.
Apple looks to be on the hunt for some new software engineers to help with the creation of the Windows-friendly apps. According to a job listing on LinkedIn (spotted by Neowin), Apple is looking for applicants to the role “Senior Software Engineer – Windows Media Apps.”
Related: Best laptops
The job title doesn’t confirm the role would be to work on developing new apps for Windows – as Apple does have its current Windows programs to maintain. However, the job posting goes on to say: “Join us and build the next generation of media apps for Windows.”
A key qualification included in the advert is “Cross platform experience with Mac and Windows is highly desired” as well as “Experience with UWP is a big plus.” The latter would suggest Apple isn’t just looking to build new Windows apps but specifically ones that are UWP-compatible and could be available on the Windows store.
If Apple created UWP-compatible versions of Podcasts, TV and Music, this could also see them made available for Xbox consoles.
Related: Best Xbox 2 games
Along with iTunes, Apple also still provides Windows users with an iCloud app, but since this app is still up and running on macOS, it’s not likely that it will be one of the “media” apps involved in this revamp.
While Apple is looking to expand its own reach across platforms with this move, the company from Cupertino found out earlier this week that it might be forced to let companies better integrate with its own. The German parliament voted in favour of introducing legislation that would require Apple to allow Apple Pay alternatives to utilise the NFC chip onboard iPhones.

Many WNBA teams have direct NBA counterparts and play in the same arena. The Connecticut Sun, Seattle Storm, Dallas Wings, and Chicago Sky are the only teams that do not share an arena with a direct NBA counterpart, although two of the four (the Wings and the Sky) share a market with an NBA counterpart, and the Storm shared an arena and market with an NBA team at the time of its founding. The four aforementioned franchises, along with the Atlanta Dream and the Los Angeles Sparks, are all independently owned. This independent ownership is important to the WNBA's growth; at one time, all teams in the league were owned by the NBA. They are now a more independent league and not as associated with the NBA.
Read MoreThe Los Angeles Sparks are a professional Basketball team based in Los Angeles, California, playing in the Western Conference in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). They are the current WNBA champions after defeating the Minnesota Lynx, 3-2, in the 2016 WNBA Finals.
Read MoreThe Dallas Wings are a professional basketball team based in Arlington, Texas. The Wings play in the Western Conference in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). The team was founded in Detroit, Michigan before the 1998 WNBA season began; the team moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma before the 2010 season; then moved to Dallas prior to the start of the 2016 season.

About Me
Welcome to my page!
My name is Nasib, Founder and CEO of “Keep Nasib Happy!” An early stage, yet scalable and highly profitable, imaginary company that has massively grown in size and areas of expertise during the last couple of months.
“Keep Nasib Happy” offers individual analysis and personal trainings and provides constant and enormous support to its very own client which is myself! (surprise surprise!)
Shout out to the efforts and sleepless nights of this company, I was able to deeply dig into my soul and add missing values, meanings and colors to my journey of life. And, for the last couple of months have been able to step into the beautiful path of consciously living my everyday life as if it is my last.
Here are bunch of realizations and goals that “Keep Nasib Happy” has provided me and I must or at least try to respect them on a daily basis.
-
I need to simply get my hands dirty and create new things; I just do!
Whether it is an intimate dance with the colors on a painting pallet, or flirting with a piece of simple or sophisticated code that introduces beautiful, stunning, new products to the world; My soul feeds off it and gets drunk on it.
Check out the "Portfolio" tab to see some of my art and design works.
In this age of internet, social media, easy access and constant distraction, I need to learn being focused and respectful of my time. Need to prioritize my daily activities and say “yes” only to the things that extremely excite me or add a meaningful value to my soul or life. The choice is clear; It’s either “no” or “HELL YESSS!”
I need to do a bit of meditation on a daily basis, be aware of my mind and thoughts, and exercise the muscle of making peace with the world.
I need to simply be grateful for all the precious things that world has offered me, the health, the loving family, great people that I have been lucky enough to meet and grow among, the long path that I went through to get to this moment in life and all the little achievements that I have made along the way. Being grateful and consciously saying it outload is an instant injection of happiness hormon to my brain.
Ego is a quick way of self-fooling and is not welcome in my world. It closes the doors of communication, and kills the learning and growing opportunities, which is itself a direct path to unhappiness.
The last, but not the least: laughing at world and being simply happy is a choice!
Make me laugh, teach me something, help me learn how to make true peace with the world, and as a result:
Win a position in my imaginary first-class company!

The ELO rating system is the most prominent system to rank players relatively to each other. This document describes, how ArenaStats does it (Currently: will do it!).
The rough idea of ELO is this: For every game the result is predicted from the participating players ranking. Using the difference between the actual game result and the prediction, the player ratings are adapted.
The TrueSkill™ system is one of the most advanced ELO variations and is used for example to rank online XBoX Live games. Instead of a simple rating value a gaussian distribution is used, so the certainty of rating is included in the calculations. For reasons of simplicity, ArenaELO uses a single value for now.
The requirements:
Values like flag captures are highly dependent on team combinations and strategy, while the frag count is relatively stable. The basic value for prediction and rating is thus the frag quotient, which is the sum of all frags divided by the players frags. This means that there is no difference in calculation between the deathmatch, team deathmatch and CTF game modes.
Every player p has a rating r, where r is the current skill rating. For a new player the rating 1.
To predict the frag quotients fq of a game, the rating quotient rqp of each player is calculated via rqp = R/rp, where R is the sum of all ratings of the participating players. Finally, for every player p the predicted frag quotient fqp=rqp.
The actual game results yields frag quotients fq'p, which differ from the prediction by dp=fq'p-fqp. The sum of all quotients is 1 of course, so the sum of all dp is 0. Since the quotient depends on the number of players n, dp is multiplied by n. Also an absorption factor a is included to stabilize the ratings. Finally, the new rating of a player can be calculated via the product r'p = rp+dpna.
For the examples we assume the absorption factor a=0.1.
Consider a 1on1 game Sarge vs Major. Since both players are unrated, they get an initial rating of 1. Therefore the predicted frag quotients are 0.5 each.
Sarge wins the game with 13:7 frags. Thus, the actual frag quotients are 13/20=0.65 and 7/20=0.35 and the differences +0.15 and -0.15. Sarges rating after game is 1+0.15⋅2⋅0.1=1.03. Majors rating accordingly is 1+(-0.15)⋅2⋅0.1=0.97.
For a more complex scenario consider a match of three players with different ratings.
| Player | r | rq = fq | fq' | d | r' |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sarge | 1.03 | 0.29 | 0.32 | +0.03 | 1.04 = 1.03+0.03⋅3⋅0.1 |
| Major | 0.97 | 0.28 | 0.23 | -0.05 | 0.95 = 0.97+(-0.05)⋅3⋅0.1 |
| Xaero | 1.50 | 0.43 | 0.45 | +0.02 | 1.51 = 1.50+0.02⋅3⋅0.1 |
| 3.50 | 1.00 | 1.00 | +0.0 | 3.50 |
In this scenario you can see that the sum is constant. Also the predicted outcome matched the actual game results quite well, so the ratings stay relatively stable.
Here is what happens, if the previous game would have had a surprising result.
| Player | r | rq = fq | fq' | d | r' |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sarge | 1.03 | 0.29 | 0.32 | +0.03 | 1.04 = 1.03+0.03⋅3⋅0.1 |
| Major | 0.97 | 0.28 | 0.43 | +0.15 | 1.01 = 0.97+0.15⋅3⋅0.1 |
| Xaero | 1.50 | 0.43 | 0.25 | -0.18 | 1.45 = 1.50+(-0.18)⋅3⋅0.1 |
| 3.50 | 1.00 | 1.00 | +0.0 | 3.50 |

This is a little page about my biking activities. I like to track my milage and to take pictures of the places where i go. The biking pictures on the left are a subset from my pictures on dailyfratze.de, all of which are tagged with "Radtour" (Bicycle Tour). The picture will refresh itself every few seconds. You can see more biking pictures in the dedicated gallery.
You can also have a look at my collection of tracks and download them as GPX files.
Sometimes i track my tours live and you can stalk me here. Maybe i'm just around the corner ;)
Since {{ summary.dateOfFirstRecord | date:'mediumDate' }}, i pedalled
{{ summary.total | number:2 }}km
on different bikes. That was an average of {{ summary.average | number:2 }}km per month.
The worst month was {{ summary.worstPeriod.startOfPeriod | date:'MMMM yyyy'}} with {{ summary.worstPeriod.value | number:0}}km, the best month was {{ summary.bestPeriod.startOfPeriod | date:'MMMM yyyy' }} with {{ summary.bestPeriod.value | number:0}}km.
This little application is not only about my biking activities, but should also showcase my current skillset as Developer as well. Read more here or at my blog.


BREAKING: 16 people found alive in truck on ferry bound for Ireland
by Fiona KellyUp to 16 people have been found alive in the back of a truck on a ferry which is en route to Rosslare Europort in Wexford.
It is understood the discovery was made about 9.20am by a staff member who heard banging from inside the truck on a Stena ferry from France.
All of the people involved are men aged between 20 and 40 years old, and it is believed they said they had travelled from Belgium up to five days ago.
It is not known what nationality the people are but it is believed they may be from Asia.
Gardai and paramedics are now waiting at Rosslare Europort for the ferry to dock at 3pm.

About
Let me guess what your first interview question is: "Can you tell us a little about yourself?"
That I can do.
I’m Sam. I usually go by “sK.” But I’m also “perfectly O.K. with being known as the toilet sign guy.“
I make lots of things.
Most of them can be plopped into three main buckets:1. I make art (like comedy shows, designs, shirts, and even poems);2. I make tools (like books, edugraphics, and curricula); 3. I make resources (for sex educators, and justice activists, and facilitators, and more). To do all of that, I make way-too-many websites (that I code and design myself).
I also bounce around the world and talk to people.
Sometimes that’s middle schoolers in Alabama. Other times it’s professors in Eastern Europe, activists in S.E. Asia, or Katie Couric on a bench in Manhattan.
I’ve been named a “People we Love” by YES! Magazine, and “2017 Austin Changemaker.” But take that with a grain of salt: I’ve also been named “Sin with Colored Pencils” by someone from the National Organization for Marriage, and a contributor to the “macabre self-suicide of civilization” by someone named “Propaganda Guard.”
Everything I make, and everything I do, even though it all might seem disconnected, is bound together by the same goal, and my vision for the world: to live on an Earth where all of its inhabitants are healthy, understood, educated, and safe. (h.u.e.s., get it?)
To get there, a lot will have to change: we’ll have to change a lot of the ways we view and treat ourselves, change the ways we view and treat others, and change the ways we view and treat the Earth itself.
I’m here to do do everything I can to make things that, in whatever small but significant ways, inch myself and those within my reach toward that change.
So, really, that’s what I’m here to do.
That is what I create.
Change.
The other thing that connects all of my work is that it’s uncopyrighted, open source, offered in the spirit of the gift economy, and/or totally freely available.
This applies to everything I make, from my books to curricula to edugraphics to t-shirts to comedy shows.
I don’t operate from a place of scarcity, and I certainly don’t manufacture scarcity. But instead create from a belief in abundance. I don’t know how else one can do social justice, in both walk and talk.
So it wouldn’t make sense to do Patreon, or patronage, in the way it seems everyone else is doing it: offering exclusive stuff, or moar stuff, for their patrons. That would be antithetical to everything I do: promoting access above all as a cornerstone of social justice.
And that’s why I’m not doing that.
Instead, for 2019 I’m engaging in a new experiment, that’s actually a really old one. Doing patronage more like how Shakespeare did it, and less like how most of Patreon does. I’m not seeing patrons as super-consumers of what I do, but as my employers. My bosses.
Being my patron means you’re behind my work, employing me to do it, providing me with direction and support, commiserating with me when things are falling apart, and sharing in the credit for the good we do together.
If this all sounds like an experiment you want to get behind, you sound like the type of person I’d like to work for. Sign up.Let’s make some change together.
Your future employee,
<3 sK

Make over 120+ components to wear again and again!
A free web kits for fast web design and development. Uix Kit can be used separately, or merge components and grid systems using bootstrap. Support JS, HTML and SASS component library automatically packaged. It is used to develop the full-static website (HTML templates or for dynamic language integration).
How To Use?
You will need to have node setup on your machine. That will output the built distributables to ./dist/*
and ./examples/*.html
.
Step 1. Use NPM (Locate your current directory of project, and enter the following command.) or download the latest version from Github. For nodejs you have to install some dependencies.
sudo npm install uix-kit
Or clone the repo to get all source files including build scripts:
git clone git://github.com/xizon/uix-kit.git
Step 2.  Before doing all dev stuff make sure you have `Node 10+` installed. After that, run the following code in the main directory to install the node module dependencies.
sudo npm install
Step 4. When you’re ready to deploy to production, create a minified bundle with:
npm run build
When you have done, this will spin up a server that can be accessed at http://localhost:8080/examples/
Step 5. To preview the page without compiling and packaging, please run the following command:
npm run preview
All pages can be previewed via http://localhost:3000
But there is no way to run PHP or get AJAX request on the pages. You need to visit the link on your server, or build a server via MAMP. Then visit a similar URL: http://localhost:{port}/uix-kit/examples/

rtc-switchboard
This is an rtc.io signalling server (counterpart to rtc-signaller) that makes use of the excellent realtime abstraction library, primus. It has been designed and built primarily as a reference implementation for a signalling server and is not designed to be deployed at scale.
Try it out
If you would like to our test signalling server (no uptime guaranteed) then you can use rtc-quickconnect and take it for a spin:
var quickconnect = require('rtc-quickconnect');
quickconnect('//switchboard.rtc.io/', { room: 'switchboard-test' })
.createDataChannel('test')
.once('channel:opened:test', function(peerId, dc) {
dc.onmessage = function(evt) {
console.log('received data: ', evt.data);
};
dc.send('hello');
});
Other examples are available in the guidebook
Usage: Standalone
If you wish to use rtc-switchboard
on it's own to test signalling,
then you can simply clone this repository, install dependencies and start
the server:
git clone https://github.com/rtc-io/rtc-switchboard.git
cd rtc-switchboard
npm install
node server.js
If you wish to run the server on a specific port, then set the NODE_PORT
environment variable prior to execution:
NODE_PORT=8997 node server.js
Usage: API
To create an application using primus signalling, see the following examples:
Pure Node HTTP
var server = require('http').createServer();
var switchboard = require('./')(server, { servelib: true });
var port = parseInt(process.env.NODE_PORT || process.env.PORT || process.argv[2], 10) || 3000;
var replify = require('replify');
server.on('request', function(req, res) {
if (req.url === '/') {
res.writeHead(302, {
'Location': 'https://github.com/rtc-io/rtc-switchboard'
});
res.end('switchboard available from: https://github.com/rtc-io/rtc-switchboard');
}
});
// start the server
server.listen(port, function(err) {
if (err) {
return console.log('Encountered error starting server: ', err);
}
console.log('server running at http://localhost:' + port + '/');
});
// add the repl
replify({
name: 'switchboard',
app: switchboard,
contexts: {
server: server
}
});
switchboard.on('room:create', function(room) {
console.log('room ' + room + ' created, now have ' + switchboard.rooms.length + ' active rooms');
});
switchboard.on('room:destroy', function(room) {
console.log('room ' + room + ' destroyed, ' + switchboard.rooms.length + ' active rooms remain');
if (typeof gc == 'function') {
console.log('gc');
gc();
}
});
Using Express
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var server = require('http').Server(app);
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
// create the switchboard
var switchboard = require('rtc-switchboard')(server);
// we need to expose the primus library
app.get('/rtc.io/primus.js', switchboard.library());
server.listen(port, function(err) {
if (err) {
return;
}
console.log('server listening on port: ' + port);
});
Including the Primus Client
The rtc-switchboard
makes use of the slick WebSockets abstraction library
Primus. To work with the server, you
will need to include the primus.js
library in your application prior to
attempting a websocket connection.
If you are working with a local standalone server, the following script tag will likely do the job:
<script src="http://localhost:3000/rtc.io/primus.js"></script>
NOTE: A specific call to include primus is not required if you are working with particular rtc.io library (such as rtc-glue), as they will ensure the primus library has been included prior to running their internal code.
Usage: Docker
If you are interested in deploying an instance of rtc-switchboard
using
docker then the following is a great place to
start:
https://github.com/synctree/docker-rtc-switchboard
Writing Custom Command Handlers
When you initialize the switchboard, you are able to provide custom handlers
for specific commands that you want handled by the switchboard. Imagine
for instance, that we want our switchboard to do something clever when a
client sends an /img
command.
We would create our server to include the custom img
command handler:
var server = require('http').createServer();
var Primus = require('primus');
// create the signaller, providing our own primus instance (using engine.io)
var switchboard = require('rtc-switchboard')(server, {
servelib: true,
handlers: {
img: require('./handlers/img')
}
});
// start the server
server.listen(3000);
And then we would write a small module for the handler:
module.exports = function(mgr, spark, data, payload) {
console.log('received an img command with payload: ', payload);
};
Logging and Analytics using the data
event
Every message that flows through the switchboard (whether handled or not)
can be logged through tapping into the data
event. The example below
demonstrates how this can be done with a node logging module like
bunyan:
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var server = require('http').Server(app);
var port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
var bunyan = require('bunyan');
var log = bunyan.createLogger({ name: 'rtc-switchboard' });
// create the switchboard
var switchboard = require('rtc-switchboard')(server);
// we need to expose the primus library
app.get('/rtc.io/primus.js', switchboard.library());
server.listen(port, function(err) {
if (err) {
return;
}
console.log('server running at: http://localhost:' + port + '/');
});
switchboard.on('data', function(data, peerId, spark) {
log.info({ peer: peerId }, 'received: ' + data);
});
As can be seen in the example above, the handlers of the data
event can
expect to receive three arguments to the handler function, as per the code
snippet below:
switchboard.on('data', function(data, peerId, spark) {
});
The data
is the raw data of that has been sent from the client, the
peerId
is the id of the peer sending the data (this will be undefined
if
it is a message received prior to an /announce
command). Finally we have
the raw primus spark
that can be examined for additional information.
Reference
switchboard(server, opts?)
Create the switchboard which uses primus under the hood. By default calling
this function will create a new Primus
instance and use the
pure websockets adapter.
Custom Message Handlers
The socket server is configured to handle some specific rtc.io signaller
messages. The handlers are stored in the handlers/
folder of the
repository and have details outlined below.
announce handler
Will handle /announce
messages and associate the peer id assigned by
the client-side signaller with the socket on the server side.
This will allow routing of messages to the correct receipient when
/to
messages are received.
ping handler
Will handle /ping
messages

This preliminary report about the consensus residue contact network is automatically generated by the script 'analysis.Rmd'. The script can be easily modified (most conveniently in RStudio) to use different parameters for the plots below or to exapand the analysis.
The analysis at hand reads in the the following files:
(* reference alignment (directory 'data'): The reference alignment is provided by the user (in fasta format). The software uses it to identify structurally equivalent resiudes. This way, residue contacts can be compared across structures even though the residues may be named differently in different structures.)
The plot below shows a matrix of residue contacts. The x- and y-axis are the positions of the reference alignment. A dot indicates that contact between two given residues is present in at least 90% of all structures.
All easy to make changes are highlighted with comments in capital letters in the script 'analysis.Rmd'.
In any given given structure, short range contacts outnumber long range contacts. Therefore, it is not surprising that the same is true for consensus contacts (residue contacts present in all or most structures of a given protein family). The plot below shows the number of consensus residue contacts at a given sequence separation. It shows that the vast majority of consensus contacts is short range.
Depending on the project at hand short range contacts may not be of interest. Therefore, the plot below shows the contact matrix without short range contacts. In this example, only contacts between residues which are more than 4 residues apart in the sequence are shown. Among the excluded contacts are the hydrogen bonds of the alpha helix (as in the alpha helix, residue i contacts residue i+4).
In order to change the cutoff to a different value (e.g. to show only contacts between residues which are at least 10 residues apart in the sequence), change the varialbe 'sequence_separation_cutoff' in the script 'analysis.Rmd' (highlighted by comment in capital letters).
The plot below shows the number contacts shared between a given fraction of all structures.
