Hi @ArtemGr,
I really need these API in my app. We can improve the speed and success rate of a swap by preparing the necessary alice utxos (fee, vol). Right now it happens “like” a magic in marketmaker app. I want to control it in UTXO level.
There’s a trick to splitting UTXO is send tx to yourself but UTXO should have their own API.
The API is pretty simple. It can look like this:
```
Category: UTXO
Methods:
splittingUTXOs
{
"userpass": "$userpass",
"method": "splitting...


The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children.  And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.
My money's in that office, right?   She gonna tell me too.

Honesty, integrity, forgiveness, prudence, kindness.
ISTJ-T – Logistician
| Personal Values: | Strengths: | Limitations: |
|---|---|---|
| Honesty | Good listener | Detail Oriented |
| Integrity | Like the ideas of others | Can take a while to formulate my ideas |
| Forgiveness | Detail Oriented | Public Speaking |
| Prudence | Good Mediator | Self Regulation |
| Kindness |
Being a good listener and enjoying hearing out the ideas of other should help me with team-based activities and when engaging with instructors. Making sure you have a clear understanding of what an employer/ client are wanting developed is critical to producing the right product/ solution for their needs.
Being detail oriented allows me to consider what exactly needs to be done to reach a goal. Breaking things down to small manageable chunks is important (especially when working in teams) though ill needs to make sure I’m not focusing too much time on unimportant details. I think ranking tasks by important vs urgency could be a useful tactic for me.
Along with being a good listener I also try to take a logical approach to everything I do. These skills together often allow me to mediate situations between people as I’ll listen to the issue, each of their takes on it, and try to find a solution or compromise that is best suited for the project and both parties.
Often, I’m quite quiet while working, I spend a lot of time thinking about the problem at hand and weighing up different approaches. This can be mistaken for slacking, but it is how I work to make sure the contributions I’m making are going to be worthwhile. I’m also someone who needs to be confident about their approach to a task otherwise it’s easy for me to get disinterested and lose motivation.
Public speaking is something I’ve avoided in general. Being the centre of attention (especially around people I’m not familiar with) has never been much of a draw to me. I’m more of an introverted person and like to listen and observe others and their ideas but broadcasting myself I find draining.
Self-regulation, making sure I do things I’ve committed to in a timely manner has and is a struggle of mine. Building habits and routines helps deal with this, though I have to be careful not to take too much on at once or I overwhelm myself and things can start falling apart.
I’m an NZ European male that grew up in a single parent household. I think the resilience I witnessed growing up with one person financially, physically and emotionally supporting/ running a family is astonishing and the ways in which we were able to do so taught me many valuable lessons, forming the values I hold today.
These were shown to me through many simple day to day experiences such as showing restraint when shopping and buying only what was needed. Taking the time to budget and make sure you are putting yourself in a stable financial position or following through on promises made and being kind to others, to behave like a productive/ functioning member of society even when things are tough.
My friends and those I’ve chosen to surround myself with also compliment and back up these values for the most part and I believe that is why I value their friendship so much. Sharing similar morals and values allows us to function with unspoken expectations and be on the same page about things, helping each other stick to our core values and not erode each other's moral as some people do.

The JSP Standard Tag Library (JSTL), version 1.0, introduced the concept of an Expression Language (EL), whose main goal is to provide page authors with an easy way to access and manipulate application data without requiring the use of scriptlets
JSP 2.0 adopted the EL specification from JSTL, and expanded its scope: EL expressions are no longer limited to JSTL action attributes, but may be used in any standard or custom action attribute declared to accept a runtime expression. In addition, EL expressions may now also be used directly in template text outside of any actions. JSP 2.0 also added an important feature to the EL specification: EL functions, which allow page authors to invoke static methods in Java classes from EL expressions. Additionally, JSP 2.0 allows programmatic access and customization of the EL evaluator through a set of standard interfaces and abstract classes.
Currently, there are a number of projects (including Tomcat 5 and Java Server Faces) that leverage the EL implementation of the Standard Taglib. In addition, there seems to be interest in leveraging the EL in the context of scripting workflow activities using custom tag libraries.
In order to make the EL implementation available to Tomcat 5, the Tomcat team defined a new "ant" target for the Standard Taglib that builds just the EL portion and packages it in a JAR file ("jsp20el.jar") which is stored in Tomcat's common/lib directory. This approach has always been considered an interim solution only, until the EL implementation would move from the Standard Taglib to a more visible location such as jakarta-commons.

I dont work well under pressure..


Mumbai, India
Got a chance to go visit Mumbai, India for work. It was pretty cool. I thought driving in Vietnam was crazy but India is even crazier. In the cab, I was literally inches away from another car, car horns would be going off in seconds. Mix this with the intense saturation. It was quite an experience!
I did see some nice sights and get to meet some nice people. My hotel was close to Bollywood but alas, I was too exhausted from work to go out. Maybe I am getting old or the jetlag is really killing my sleep. Not sure. I had fun though!
Soundtrack
I learned that “cashmere” is just where the silk is from, its actually from Kashmir. It burns like hair, its relatively strong and doesnt rip apart, and beads water. I bought some scarves for my mom and sis.
The Shuttle loom where they make the rugs and scarves. There is a sequence and a pattern that they have to follow in order to get the desired design. I knew about these from selvedge denim but seeing one was pretty neat.
This guy was great, I still have his business card. I will update it once I find it but I highly recommend him for custom tailored things. I am wearing the pants he made for me as I am writing this and they’re still great.
This rug was shown to me, I didnt have the $$ to buy it. or means to transport it. This rug was has gems in it. I believe it actually uses gold as well.
Stopped by Gandhi’s house.
Near my hotel was a great view of the Arabian Sea. I would go on this bridge from my hotel in Bandra to Mumbai.
I stayed at the Taj Land’s End. This hotel was AWESOME. The food was great and the resturaunts inside the hotel were great. I was accomodated every step of the way and it was easy to book cabs for work.

Getting started¶
Installation¶
You can download the latest release of DIALS from this site for Linux or Mac. Unless you intend to develop with the DIALS toolkit, we recommend downloading the latest Stable Release.
DIALS can be built on Windows, but this is somewhat experimental. See the wiki for details.
The installers are prepared as compressed archives. Once the download has completed, you should unpack using the appropriate commands on your system. For example, on Linux:
tar xJf dials-v<MAJOR>-<MINOR>-<PATCH>-linux-x86_64.tar.xz
The values of <MAJOR>
, <MINOR>
and <PATCH>
will have to be
substituted appropriately for the version of DIALS you have downloaded.
Once this completes, a new directory, dials-installer
will be
created. The installer script requires that it is run within that
directory. For a “system-wide” installation in /usr/local
, you
can run this in an environment where you have the appropriate write
permissions:
cd dials-installer
./install
Alternatively you can install for the current user in a dials/
directory under the home directory as follows:
cd dials-installer
./install --prefix=$HOME/dials
Sourcing the DIALS environment¶
Once installation is complete, to use the software we must put the
suite of DIALS programs in the system PATH
. This is achieved by
sourcing a script. For example, in the BASH shell, and assuming DIALS
was installed in $HOME/dials
:
source $HOME/dials/dials-v<MAJOR>-<MINOR>-<PATCH>/dials_env.sh
As before, the values of <MAJOR>
, <MINOR>
and <PATCH>
will
have to be substituted appropriately for the version of DIALS you have
installed.
There is also a dials_env.csh
script for those who use a C shell
rather than a Bourne-like shell.
Note
Sourcing this script does not produce any output; it simply sets the environment appropriately for DIALS programs.
To check that DIALS is correctly set up, you may like to try:
dials.version
If everything has worked properly you should see some output giving a DIALS version number, a Python version, and your installation path.
Built-in help¶
The major DIALS command line programs typically print a useful help message if run without any arguments. For example, try
dials.import
This provides examples of usage, a list of command-line options and a help message describing the function of the program. All DIALS programs support the option
dials.program -c
which will print a structured description of the parameters that the
program will accept. By default, only the basic parameters are shown.
To display all parameters up to an expert_level
of 2, you would
enter
dials.program -c -e2
In addition, it can be useful to display an expected type, a help
string and other useful information about the parameters. We do that by
increasing the attributes_level
.
dials.program -c -e2 -a2
Parameters¶
Apart from the command-line switches, all DIALS programs also accept
parameters in the form parameter=value
. In most cases this will be
sufficient though some less frequently used options may require “name
space” clarification e.g. index_assignment.method=local. More complex
parameter specifications can be written into a file, say
myparams.phil
and passed into the DIALS program as an input file.
Next steps¶
At this point you are ready to start processing data! We recommend checking out the tutorials for further details.


Egeanin lay on her back on the bed with her hands raised, palms toward the ceiling and fingers spread. Her pale blue skirts made a fan across her legs, and she tried to lie very still so as not to wrinkle the narrow pleats too much. The way dresses confined movement, they must be an invention of the Dark Lord. Lying there, she studied fingernails too long for her to lay hands on a line without breaking at least half. Not that she had personally handled lines in quite a few years, but she had always been ready and able to, at need.
“ . . . plain foolheadedness!” Bayle growled, poking at the blazing logs in the brick fireplace. “Fortune prick me, Seahawk could sail nearer the wind, and faster, than any Seanchan ship ever made. There did be squalls ahead, too, and . . .  The dark-paneled chamber was not the best at The Wandering Woman, or even close, yet it met his requirements excepting the view. The two windows looked out on the stableyard. A Captain of the Green ranked with a banner-general, but in this place, most of those she outranked were aides or secretaries to senior officers of the Ever Victorious Army. Among the army as at sea, being of the Blood added little unless it was the High Blood.
The sea-green lacquer on the nails of her little fingers sparkled. She had always hoped to rise, eventually perhaps to Captain of the Gold, commanding fleets, as her mother had. As a girl, she had even dreamed of being named the Hand of the Empress at Sea just like her mother, to stand at the left hand of the Crystal Throne, so’jhin to the Empress herself, might she live forever, allowed to speak directly to her. Young women had foolish dreams. And she had to admit that once chosen for the Forerunners, she considered the possibility of a new name. Not hoping for it, certainly—that would have been getting above herself—yet everyone had known the recovery of the stolen lands would mean new additions to the Blood. Now she was Captain of the Green, ten years before she should have had any hope of it, and stood on the slopes of that steep mountain that rose through the clouds to the sublime pinnacle of the Empress, might she live forever.
She doubted she would be given command of one greatship, however, much less a squadron. Suroth claimed to accept her story, but if so, why had she been left sitting at Cantorin? Why, when orders finally came, were they to report here and not to a ship? Of course, there were only so many commands available, even for a Captain of the Green. It might be that. She might have been chosen for a position near Suroth, though her orders said only that she was to travel to Ebou Dar by the first available means and await further instructions. Maybe. The High Blood might speak to the low without the intervention of a Voice, but it seemed to her that Suroth had forgotten her as soon as she was dismissed after receiving her rewards. Which also might mean Suroth was suspicious. Arguments that ran in circles. In any case, she could live on seawater if that Seeker had given over his suspicions. He had no more, or she would already be in a dungeon shrieking, yet if he was in the city, too, he would be watching her, waiting for one misstep. He could not shed so much as a single drop of her blood, now, but the Seekers were experienced at dealing with that minor difficulty. So long as he left it to watching, though, he could stare at her until his eyes shriveled. She had a stable deck under her feet, now, and from here on she would take great care how she stepped. Captain of the Gold might no longer be possible, yet retiring as Captain of the Green was honorable.
“Well?” Bayle demanded. “What about that?”
Wide and solid and strong, just the sort of man she had always favored, he was standing beside the bed in his shirtsleeves, a frown on his face and his fists on his hips. Not a pose a so’jhin should take with his mistress. With a sigh, she let her hands drop onto her stomach. Bayle just would not learn how a so’jhin was supposed to behave. He took it all as a joke, or play, as though none of it were real. Sometimes he even said he wanted to be her Voice, no matter how often she explained she was not of the High Blood. Once, she had had him beaten, and afterwards he had refused to sleep in the same bed with her until she apologized. Apologized!
Hastily, she ran through what she had half-heard of his growling. Yes; still the same arguments after all this time. Nothing new. Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, she sat up and ticked points off on her fingers. She had done it so often, she could deliver them by rote. “Had you tried to run, the damane on the other ship would have snapped your masts like twigs. It was not a chance stop, Bayle, and you know it; their first hail was a demand to know whether you were Seahawk. By bringing you into the wind and announcing we were on our way to Cantorin with a gift for the Empress, may she live forever, I allayed their suspicions. Anything else—anything!—and we would all have been chained in the hold and sold as soon as we reached Cantorin. I doubt we’d have been lucky enough to face the headsman instead.” She held up her thumb. “And last, if you had kept calm as I told you to, you would not have gone to the block, either. You cost me a great deal!” Several other women in Cantorin apparently had her same taste in men. They had pushed the bidding up extravagantly.
Stubborn man that he was, he scowled and scrubbed at his short beard irritably.  “That Seeker had no proof I did have it aboard.”
“Seekers do no need proof,” she said, mocking his accent. “Seekers do find proof, and the finding do be painful.” If he was reduced to bringing up what even he had conceded long since, maybe she was finally nearing the end of the whole thing. “In any case, Bayle, you have already admitted there is no harm in Suroth having that collar and bracelets. They can’t be put on him unless someone gets close enough, and I’ve heard nothing that suggests anyone has or will.” She refrained from adding that it would not matter if someone did. Bayle was not really familiar with even the versions of the Prophecies they had on this side of the World Sea, but he was adamant that none mentioned the necessity of the Dragon Reborn kneeling to the Crystal Throne. It might prove necessary for him to be fitted with this male a’dam, but Bayle would never see it. “What is done is done, Bayle. If the Light shines on us, we will live long in the service of the Empire. Now, you know this city, so you say. What is there interesting to see or do?”
“There always do be festivals of some sort,” he said slowly, grudgingly. He never liked giving up his argument, no matter how futile. “Some may be to your taste. Some not, I do think. You do be . . . picky.” What did he mean by that? Suddenly he grinned. “We could find a Wise Woman. They do hear marriage vows, here.” He ran his fingers across the shaven side of his scalp, rolling his eyes upward as though trying to see it. “Of course, if I do recall the lecture you did give me on the ‘rights and privileges’ of my position, so’jhin can only marry other so’jhin, so you do need to free me, first.  I can take up my old trade and give you an estate soon enough.”
Her mouth fell open. This was not something old. This was very, very new. She had always prided herself on being level-headed. She had risen to command by skill and daring, a veteran of sea battles and storms and shipwreck. And right that moment she felt like a first-voyage fingerling looking down from the main peak, panicked and dizzy, with the whole world spinning around her and a seemingly inevitable fall to the sea filling her eyes.
“It is not so simple,” she said, surging to her feet so he was forced to step back. Light’s truth, she hated sounding breathless! “Manumission requires me to provide for your livelihood as a free man, to see you can support yourself.” Light! Words flooding out in a rush were as bad as being breathless. She imagined herself on a deck. It helped, a little. “In your case, that means buying a ship, I suppose,” she said, sounding unruffled, at least, “and as you reminded me, I have no estates yet. Besides, I could not allow you to return to smuggling, and you know it.” That much was simple truth, and the rest not really a lie. Her years at sea had been profitable, and if the gold she could call on was small gleanings to one of the Blood, she could buy a ship, so long as he did not want a greatship, but she had not actually denied being able to afford one.
He spread his arms, another thing he was not supposed to do, and after a moment she laid her cheek against his broad shoulder and let him enfold her. “It will be well, lass,” he murmured gently. “Somehow, it will be well.”
“You must not call me ‘lass,’ Bayle,” she chided, staring beyond his shoulder toward the fireplace. It would not seem to come into focus. Before leaving Tanchico she had decided to marry him, one of those lightning decisions that had made her reputation. Smuggler he might be, but she could have put a stop to that, and he was steadfast, strong and intelligent, a seafarer. That last had always been a necessity, to her. Only, she had not known his customs. Some places in the Empire, men did the asking, and were actually offended if a woman even suggested. She knew nothing of enticing a man, either. Her few lovers had all been men of equal rank, men she could approach openly and bid farewell when one or the other of them was ordered to another ship or promoted. And now he was so’jhin. There was nothing wrong with bedding your own so’jhin, of course, so long as you did not flaunt the fact. He would make up a pallet at the foot of the bed as usual, even if he never slept on it. But freeing a so’jhin, casting him off from the rights and privileges Bayle sneered at, was the height of cruelty. No, she was lying by avoidance again, and worse, lying to herself. She wanted wholeheartedly to marry the man Bayle Domon. She was bitterly unsure she could bring herself to marry manumitted property.
“As my Lady do command, so shall it be,” he said in a blithe mockery of formality.
She punched him under the ribs. Not hard. Just enough to make him grunt. He had to learn! She did not want to see the sights of Ebou Dar any longer. She just wanted to stay where she was, wrapped in Bayle’s arms, not needing to make decisions, stay right where they stood forever.
A sharp knock sounded at the door, and she pushed him away. At least he knew enough not to protest that. While he tugged on his coat, she shook out the pleats of her dress and attempted to smooth away the wrinkles from lying on the bed. There seemed to be a good many, despite how still she had been. This knock might be a summons from Suroth or a maid seeing whether she needed anything, but whoever it was, she was not going to let anyone see her looking as if she had been rolling about on the deck.
Giving up the useless attempt, she waited until Bayle had buttoned himself up and adopted the attitude he thought proper for a so’jhin—Like a captain on his quarterdeck ready to shout orders, she thought, sighing to herself—then barked, “Come!” The woman who opened the door was the last she expected to see.
Bethamin eyed her hesitantly before darting in and closing the door softly behind her. The sul’dam took a deep breath, then knelt, holding herself stiffly upright. Her dark blue dress with its lightning-worked red panels looked freshly cleaned and ironed. The sharp contrast to her own dishevelment irritated Egeanin. “My Lady,” Bethamin began uncertainly, then swallowed. “My Lady, I beg a word with you.” Glancing at Bayle, she licked her lips. “In private, if it pleases you, my Lady?”
The last time Egeanin had seen this woman was in a basement in Tanchico, when she removed an a’dam from Bethamin and told her to go. That would have been enough for blackmail if she were of the High Blood! Without doubt the charge would be the same as for freeing a damane. Treason. Except that Bethamin could not reveal it without condemning herself, too.
“He can hear anything you have to say, Bethamin,” she said calmly. She was in shoal waters, and that was no place for anything except calm. “What do you want?”
Bethamin shifted on her knees and wasted more time with lip licking. Then, suddenly, words came out in a rush. “A Seeker came to me and ordered me to resume our . . . our acquaintance and report on you to him.” As if to stop herself babbling, she caught her underlip in her teeth and stared at Egeanin. Her dark eyes were desperate and pleading, just as they had been in that Tanchico basement.
Egeanin met her gaze coolly. Shoal waters, and an unexpected gale. Her strange orders to Ebou Dar suddenly were explained. She did not need a description to know it must be the same man. Nor did she need to ask why Bethamin was committing treason by betraying the Seeker. If he decided his suspicions were strong enough to take her for questioning, eventually Egeanin would tell him everything she knew, including about a certain basement, and Bethamin would soon find herself once more wearing an a’dam. The woman’s only hope was to help Egeanin evade him.
“Rise,” she said. “Have a seat.” Luckily, there were two chairs, though neither appeared comfortable. “Bayle, I think there is brandy in that flask on the drawered chest.”
Bethamin was so shaky that Egeanin had to help her up and guide her to a chair. Bayle brought worked silver cups holding a little brandy and remembered to bow and present Egeanin’s first, but when he returned to the chest, she saw he had poured for himself, as well. He stood there, cup in hand, watching them as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Bethamin stared at him pop-eyed.
 “You are wrong, Bethamin. The only real crime I have committed was freeing you.” Not precisely true, but in the end, after all, she had placed the male a’dam in Suroth’s hands herself. And talking with Aes Sedai was not a crime. The Seeker might suspect—he had tried to listen at a door in Tanchico—but she was not a sul’dam, charged with catching marath’damane. At worst that meant a reprimand. “So long as he doesn’t learn about that, he has no reason to arrest me. If he wants to know what I say, or anything else about me, tell him. Just remember that if he does decide to arrest me, I will give him your name.” A reminder could only guard against Bethamin suddenly thinking she saw a safe way out, leaving her behind. “He won’t have to make me scream once.”
To her surprise, the sul’dam began to laugh hysterically. Until Egeanin leaned forward and slapped her, anyway.
Rubbing her cheek sullenly, Bethamin said, “He knows near enough everything except the basement, my Lady.” And she began to describe a fantastical web of treason connecting Egeanin and Bayle and Suroth and maybe even Tuon herself with Aes Sedai, and marath’damane, and damane who had been Aes Sedai.
Bethamin’s voice began to grow panicky as she darted from one incredible charge to another, and before long, Egeanin began sipping brandy. Just sips. She was calm. She was in command of herself. She was . . . This was beyond shoal waters.  After listening for a time with his own eyes growing wider and wider, Bayle drank down a brimful cup of the dark raw liquor in one go. She was relieved to see his shock, and guilty at feeling relieved. She would not believe him a murderer. Besides, he was very good using his hands but only fair at a sword; with weapons or bare-handed, the High Lord Turak would have gutted Bayle like a carp. Her only excuse for even considering it was that he had been with two Aes Sedai in Tanchico. The whole thing was nonsense. It had to be! Those two Aes Sedai had not been part of any plot, just a chance meeting. Light’s truth, they had been little more than girls, and near innocents at that, too softhearted to accept her suggestion they cut the Seeker’s throat when they had the chance. A pity, that. They had handed her the male a’dam. Ice crept down her spine. If the Seeker ever learned she had intended disposing of the a’dam the way those Aes Sedai suggested, if anyone learned, she would be judged as guilty of treason as if she had succeeded in dropping it into the ocean’s depths. Are you not? she demanded of herself. The Dark One was coming to steal her eyes.
Tears streaming down her face, Bethamin clutched her cup to her breasts as though hugging herself. If she was trying to keep from shaking, she failed miserably. Trembling, she stared at Egeanin, or perhaps at something beyond her. Something horrifying. The fire had not warmed the room very far yet, but sweat was beaded on Bethamin’s face. “ . . . and if he learns about Renna and Seta,” she babbled, “he will know for sure! He’ll come after me, and the other sul’dam! You have to stop him! If he takes me, I’ll give him your name! I will!” Abruptly she tilted lifted the cup to her mouth unsteadily and gulped the contents, choking and coughing, then thrust it out toward Bayle for more. He did not move. He looked poleaxed.
“Who are Renna and Seta?” Egeanin asked. She was as frightened as the sul’dam, but as always, she kept her fear hard-reefed. “What can the Seeker learn about them?” Bethamin’s eyes slid away, refusing to meet hers, and abruptly she knew. “They are sul’dam, aren’t they, Bethamin? And they were collared, too, just like you.”
“They are in Suroth’s service,” the woman whimpered. “They are never allowed to be complete, though. Suroth knows.”
Egeanin rubbed at her eyes wearily. Perhaps there was a conspiracy, after all. Or Suroth might be hiding what the pair were to protect the Empire. The Empire depended on sul’dam; its strength was built on them. The news that sul’dam were women who could learn to channel might shatter the Empire to its core. It had surely shaken her. Maybe shattered her. She herself had not freed Bethamin out of duty. So many things had changed in Tanchico. She no longer believed that any woman who could channel deserved to be collared. Criminals, certainly, and maybe those who refused oaths to the Crystal Throne, and . . . She did not know. Once, her life had been made up of rock-solid certainties, like guiding stars that never failed. She wanted her old life back. She wanted a few certainties.
“I thought,” Bethamin began. She would have no lips left if she did not stop licking them. “My Lady, if the Seeker . . . suffers an accident . . . perhaps the danger would pass with him.” Light, the woman believed in this intrigue against the Crystal Throne, and she was ready to let it pass to save her own skin!
Egeanin rose, and the sul’dam had no choice but to follow. “I will think on it, Bethamin. You will come to see me every day you are free. The Seeker will expect it. Until I make my decision, you will do nothing. Do you understand me? Nothing except your duties and what I tell you.” Bethamin understood. She was so relieved that someone else was dealing with the danger that she knelt again and kissed Egeanin’s hand.
All but bundling the woman out of the room, Egeanin closed the door, then hurled her cup at the fireplace. It hit the bricks and bounced off, rolling across the small rug on the floor. It was dented. Her father had given her that set of cups when she gained her first command. All the strength seemed to have leached out other. The Seeker had knitted moonbeams and happenstance into a strangling cord for her neck. If she was not named property instead. She shuddered at the possibility. Whatever she did, the Seeker had her trapped.
 Bayle flexed his hands, broad like the rest of him. “He be a skinny man, as I recall. Used to everyone obeying his word. He will no be expecting anyone to snap his neck.”
“You’ll never find him to kill, Bayle. He won’t meet her in the same place twice, and even if you followed her day and night, he might well be in disguise. You cannot kill every man she speaks to.”
Stiffening her spine, she marched to the table where her writing desk sat and flipped open the lid. The wave-carved writing desk, with its silver-mounted glass inkpot and silver sand jar, had been her mother’s gift at that first command. The neatly stacked sheets of fine paper bore her newly granted sigil, a sword and a fouled anchor. “I will write out your manumission,” she said, dipping the silver pen, “and give you enough coin to buy passage.” The pen glided across the page. She had always had a good hand. Log entries had to be legible. “Not enough to buy a ship, I fear, but it must do. You will depart on the first available ship. Shave the rest of your head, and you should have no trouble. It’s still a shock, seeing bald men not wearing wigs, but so far no one seems to—” She gasped as Bayle slid the page right out from under her pen.
“If you do free me, you can no give me orders,” he said. “Besides, you must ensure I can support myself if you do free me.” He stuck the page into the fire and watched while it blackened and curled. “A ship, you did say, and I will hold you to it.”
“Listen well and hear,” she said in her best quarterdeck voice, but it made no impression on him. It had to be the cursed dress.
“You do need a crew,” he said right over her, “and I can find you one, even here.”
“What good will a crew do me? I don’t have a ship. If I did, where could I sail that the Seeker couldn’t find me?”
Bayle shrugged as though that was not important. “A crew, first. I did recognize that young fellow in the kitchens, the one with the lass on his knee. Stop grimacing. There be no harm to a little kissing.”
She drew herself up, prepared to set him firmly to rights. She was frowning, not grimacing, that pair had been groping at one another in public like animals, and he was her property! He could not speak to her this way!
“His name be Mat Cauthon,” Bayle went on even as she opened her mouth. “By his clothes, he has come up in the world, and far. The first time I did see him, he did be in a farmer’s coat, escaping Trollocs in a place even Trollocs be afraid of. The last time, half the town of Whitebridge did be burning, close enough to, and a Myrddraal did be trying to kill him and his friends. I did no see for myself, but anything else be more than I can believe. Any man who can survive Trollocs and Myrddraal do be useful, I think. Especially now.”
“Someday,” she growled, “I am going to have to see some of these Trollocs and Myrddraal you go on about.” The things could not be half as fearsome as he described.
He grinned and shook his head. He knew what she thought about these so-called Shadowspawn. “Better still, young Master Cauthon did have companions on my ship. Good men for this situation, too. One, you do know. Thom Merrilin.”
Egeanin’s breath caught. Merrilin was a clever old man. A dangerous old man. And he had been with those two Aes Sedai when she met Bayle. “Bayle, is there a conspiracy? Tell me. Please?” No one said please to property, not even to so’jhin. Not unless they wanted something badly, anyway.
Shaking his head again, he leaned a hand on the stone mantel piece and frowned into the flames. “Aes Sedai do plot the way fish swim. They could scheme with Suroth, but the question do be, could she scheme with them? I did see her look at damane, like they did be mangy dogs with fleas and catching diseases. Could she even talk to an Aes Sedai?” He looked up, and his eyes were clear and open, hiding nothing. “I do tell this for true. On my grandmother’s grave, I do know of no plot. But did I know of ten, I still will no let that Seeker or anyone else harm you, whatever it do take.” It was the sort of thing any loyal so’jhin might say. Well, no so’jhin she had ever heard of would have been so straightforward, but the sentiments were the same. Only, she knew he did not mean it that way, could never mean it that way.
“Thank you, Bayle.” A steady voice was a necessity for command, but she was proud that hers was steady now. “Find this Master Cauthon, and Thom Merrilin, if you can. Perhaps something can be done.”
He failed to bow before leaving her presence, but she did not even consider upbraiding him. She did not intend to let the Seeker take her, either. Whatever it took to stop him. That was a decision she had reached before she freed Bethamin. She filled the dented cup to the brim with brandy, meaning to get so drunk she could not think, but instead she sat peering into the dark liquid without touching a drop. Whatever it took. Light, she was no better than Bethamin! But knowing it changed nothing. Whatever it took.


Jackie Brown (1997)
A movie review by Michael J. Legeros Copyright 1997 by Michael J. Legeros
(Mirimax) Directed by Quentin Tarantino Written by Quentin Tarantino, from the novel "Rum Punch" by Elmore Leonard Cast Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, Christ Tucker MPAA Rating "R" (presumably for violence and language) Running Time 155 minutes Reviewed at The Rialto Theatre, Raleigh, NC (11DEC97)
==
After an eclectic array of post-PULP FICTION distractions-- vampire flicks, script doctorings, horrid Christmas Day anthologies, etc.-- Q.T. is back, doin' what he does best, adapting Elmore Leonard's "Rum Punch" as the year's best black comedy/caper flick/love story/'70's musical re- vue. (Forget BOOGIE NIGHTS, this is the soundtrack to shake your booty to.) An exceptionally striking Pam Grier plays the title character, a 44 y.o. stewardess on a cut-rate airline, caught smuggling gun money (and a bit of blow) for Sam Jackson's small-time L.A. arms dealer. Fac- ing a change to an already underwhelming lifestyle, she cuts a deal with the feds, enlists the aid of a increasingly friendly been-there-done- that bail bondsman (Robert Forster), and begins concocting a scheme to win her freedom, and, maybe, just maybe, walk away with a chunk of the half mil that's also part of the plan.
Double and triple crosses ensue, but they're fairly easy to follow. Far more jarring-- initially, at least-- is the relaxed pace and straightforward narrative. (That is, unless you've never seen a Taran- tino flick, in which case you'll probably be blushing at Jackson's ample use of n***** and m*****f*****.) Other Q.T. trademarks are present and accounted for, including the expected conversational asides. (My fave: Jackson detailing the influence of Hong Kong action flicks on handgun demand.) There's less violence than you might expect and only one zany, brainy instance of time-shifting, which happens toward the end, when an event is told thrice, from three different viewpoints. The real joy, though, is in the depth of characterizations. We're given a generous amount of screen time to know and grow to love the three principals. In turn, Grier, Forster, and Jackson reward us with rich (and, in Jackson's case, also electrifying) performances. Really, the only shame is that it has to end. With supporting turns of varying success by Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, and Robert DeNiro.

The Apache Way is a set of community behaviors and aspects used to great success over many years at over 100 Apache Software Foundation (ASF) projects. These concepts can help any distributed group of people working on easily shareable work, like software or documentation.
The Apache Way is sort of like Zen. It's something that's difficult to explain, has many interpretations, and the best way to learn it is to do it. This is devoted to one interpretation of The Apache Way – the one that I've learned over the years of participating at the ASF. Many of the communities at the ASF believe that some form of The Apache Way is a great way to collaboratively develop software, and many individuals at the ASF exemplify the values of The Apache Way.

This is Sicily's capital, and is a busy port situated on the north-western coast of the island. Its large natural harbour has been a trading centre for thousands of years and the many different cultures that have occupied it have left a facinating legacy.
Position 38° 8.35' N, 13° 22.2' E. (marina at Acquasanta).
Acquasanta is a modern yacht harbour for visitors, just north of the two commercial harbour entrances.
There is a yacht harbour (Cala) in the southern corner of the commercial harbour. There are six different organisations providing moorings here on floating pontoons.
It is reported that security of both people and boats here can also be rather doubtful and extra care is advised. Also there may be a problem with rats coming onboard.
The fuel station also has a few mooring moorings (about 40 euro/night) with water and electricity.
On the northern edge of the city is the small port of Arenella, the old part of which is used by fishing boats.

You give glam2 a set of sequences, and it finds the strongest motif shared by these sequences. More exactly, glam2 gives you an alignment of segments of the sequences. Each sequence contributes at most one segment to the alignment. glam2 assigns scores to alignments: the score favors alignment of similar residues, and disfavors insertions and deletions, but less so if they repeatedly occur at the same, presumably fragile, positions. glam2 attempts to find a maximal-scoring alignment for your sequences.
Biological sequences often have strong similarities that are not interesting. These strong similarities need to be removed before weaker motifs can be found. Here are some common cases:
To use glam2 effectively, you need to understand roughly how it works. glam2 starts from a random alignment, and makes many small, random changes to it, which are designed to find high-scoring alignments in the long run. The longer you let it run, the more likely it is to find a maximal-scoring alignment.
To check that a reproducible, high-scoring motif has been found, the whole procedure is run several (e.g. 10) times from different starting alignments. If all runs produce identical alignments, we have maximum confidence that this is the optimal motif. (To gain even more confidence, consider varying the initial motif width: see below.) If a few of the runs produce different, lower-scoring motifs, we still have high confidence. If all the runs produce completely different alignments, we have low confidence, and the run-length needs to be increased.
An alternative is to check that similar, but not necessarily identical, alignments are found repeatedly. This suggests that the optimal motif has been found, if not the exactly optimal alignment. With large numbers of sequences, there are so many possible alignments that it is not feasible to find the precisely optimal one, and this is the best that can be hoped for. Furthermore, the precisely optimal alignment is not very meaningful: it is rather like writing a moderately accurate value to twelve decimal places.
Running glam2 without any arguments gives a usage message:
Usage: glam2 [options] alphabet my_seqs.fa Main alphabets: p = proteins, n = nucleotides Main options (default settings): -h: show all options and their default settings -o: output file (stdout) -r: number of alignment runs (10) -n: end each run after this many iterations without improvement (10000) -2: examine both strands - forward and reverse complement -z: minimum number of sequences in the alignment (2) -a: minimum number of aligned columns (2) -b: maximum number of aligned columns (50) -w: initial number of aligned columns (20)
The main input to glam2 is a file of sequences in FASTA format:
>MyFirstSequence GHYWVVCTGGGACH >My2ndSequence LLIGGPWVWWADDDF (etc.)
You need to tell glam2 which alphabet to use:
glam2 p my_prots.fa
glam2 n my_nucs.fa
Use -o to write the output to a file rather than to the screen:
glam2 -o my_prots.glam2 p my_prots.fa
The TEXT output begins with some general information, only the first two lines of which are given in the HTML output:
GLAM2: Gapped Local Alignment of Motifs Version 9999 glam2 p my_prots.fa Sequences: 4 Greatest sequence length: 14 Residue counts: A=3 C=2 D=3 E=3 F=2 G=4 H=4 I=4 K=0 L=5 M=1 N=3 P=4 Q=0 R=2 S=3 T=1 V=2 W=0 Y=2 x=0
This is followed by several alignments, sorted in order of score. The topmost alignment is the interesting one: the purpose of the others is to indicate the reproducibility of the topmost one.
The TEXT format introduces each alignment with a summary line, which is omitted in the HTML format:
Score: 18.0451 Columns: 6 Sequences: 4
The alignment itself has the format:
**..**** seq1 10 HP..D.IG 14 + 8.72 seq2 5 HPGADLIG 12 + 7.39 seq3 7 HP..ELIG 12 + 15.7 seq4 5 HP..ELLA 10 + 9.71
The stars (which are omitted in HTML format) indicate the key positions of the motif, i.e. the conserved and presumably functional positions. Positions without stars hold residues that are inserted between key positions. No attempt is made to align inserted residues with each other: their column placement is arbitrary. Gaps in key positions indicate deletions. The plus signs indicate the strand (only meaningful when considering both strands of nucleotide sequences with the -2 option). The rightmost numbers are the marginal scores of each aligned segment, i.e. the amount by which the total alignment score would decrease if the segment were removed. The marginal scores do not in general sum to the total alignment score.
In TEXT format, the alignment is followed by a multilevel consensus sequence, indicating the dominant residue types in each key position, using a representation borrowed from MEME. The residue types are ordered by frequency from top to bottom, and only those with a frequency of at least 20% are written.

In HTML format, a sequence logo representing the alignment replaces the multilevel consensus. The score of the alignment is given to the left of the sequence logo.
In TEXT format the matrix of the residue and deletion counts for each key position, and insertion counts between them, along with their scores, which sum to the total alignment score, is shown next:
A C D E F G H I K L M N P Q R S T V W Y Del Ins Score 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7.33 0 -0.263 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7.98 2 -8.61 0 0 2 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4.55 0 -0.263 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 -0.642 0 -0.263 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4.21 0 -0.263 1 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4.28
In HTML format this residue/deletion matrix is replaced by several buttons for using and viewing the motif. The first button allows you to submit the gapped motif to GLAM2scan to search for matches to the gapped motif in other sequences. There are also buttons for viewing a text version of the alignment, and for viewing an ungapped position-specific probability matrix (PSPM) suitable for use with MEME Suite motif sequence scanning tools other than GLAM2scan, e.g. FIMO, MAST and MCAST.
In HTML format, following the buttons, a regular expression that roughly approximates the gapped motif is shown:
gag[act][tg]cc[at]?.{0,3}[at]?.?[at]?[act]ga?g[ac][atg]cc
Use -n to control how long glam2 runs for, and -r to control how many runs it does. Quick and dirty:
glam2 -r 1 -n 1000 p my_prots.fa
Slow and thorough:
glam2 -n 1000000 p my_prots.fa
If the top alignment is completely different from all the other alignments, there is little confidence that the best possible motif has been found, and glam2 should be re-run with higher -n. (In our experience, increasing -n works better than increasing -r.)
Use -2 to search both strands of nucleotide sequences:
glam2 -2 n my_nucs.fa
Use -z to set the minimum number of sequences that must participate in the alignment (if you set it to more than the number of input sequences, then all the sequences must participate):
glam2 -z 10 p my_prots.fa
Use -a and -b to set lower and upper bounds on the number of key positions in the motif:
glam2 -a 10 -b 20 n my_nucs.fa
We do not recommend setting -a equal to -b, as this dramatically constrains glam2's flexibility.
glam2 automatically adjusts the number of key positions so as to maximize the alignment score, but it sometimes has trouble with this, for two reasons:
You can help glam2 by using -w to set the initial number of key positions to a ballpark value:
glam2 -w 100 -a 50 -b 200 n my_nucs.fa
In this example, we guess that the optimal number is around 100, and allow it to vary between 50 and 200.
Use -D and -E to tune deletion preferences, and use -I and -J to tune insertion preferences. The relative values of -D and -E control glam2's aversion to deletions: increasing -E relative to -D makes it more averse. Likewise, increasing -J relative to -I makes glam2 more averse to insertions. The absolute values of -D and -E control how much glam2 prefers deletions to occur at the same (fragile) positions: if -D and -E are both low, it strongly prefers deletions to occur at the same positions, otherwise not. Likewise, if -I and -J are both low, it strongly prefers insertions to occur at the same positions. To turn off deletions and insertions completely, set -E and -J to huge values:
glam2 -E 1e99 -J 1e99 n my_nucs.fa
If the input sequences have unusual residue abundances, glam2 may interpret these as being a motif. If this interpretation is not appropriate, you can fix it by changing glam2's idea of usual residue abundances. The best way to do this is with an alphabet file. For example, you could specify the average abundances for the taxonomic group that the sequences come from. Alternatively, you can use -q 1 to make glam2 estimate residue abundances from the input sequences:
glam2 -q 1 p my_prots.fa
This works well if the input sequences are much larger than the motif.
glam2 will always find the best motif that it can, even if you give it random sequences. Thus, it would be nice to know whether or not a motif found by glam2 is stronger than what would be found in random sequences. Here are two ways to answer this question:
These methods use shuffled versions of the original sequences: control sequences obtained in some other way may be used instead, but should be chosen with care.
