I'm trying to write a python driver for RFID-230-2 card reader.
As the document says, in order to communicate with the device, one has to make a packet in the format below:
|STX|ADDR|LEN|CMD/STU|DATA|BCC|
STX: Communication start character, 1 byte, 0x02
ADDR: Device Addr, 1 byte, 0 can be used in any addr
LEN: Data length, 1 byte, data length of CMD/STU+DATA
CMD/STU: Command byte (Host->Reader) or Status byte (Reader->Host), 1byte
DATA: Data information, byte is not specified. Can be not existed
BCC: Section checking character, 1 byte, the XOR value of all the bytes except STX, BCC
CMD
0x38
DATA
STX = 0x02
REQUEST_FORMAT = 'bbbbbb'
def communicate(self, command, data):
address = 0x0
length = 1 + len(str(data)) + len(str(command))
bcc = address ^ length ^ command
i = struct.pack(REQUEST_FORMAT, STX, address, length, command, data, bcc)
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 9600)
ser.write(i)
time.sleep(.1)
resp = ser.read()
resp = ser.read()
Request Card Parameter
Card Series No.
communicate(0x33, [0x93, 1487824920])
File "main.py", line 21, in communicate
i = struct.pack('BBBB%sBB' % len(data), STX, address, length, command, *(data + [bcc]))
struct.error: ubyte format requires 0 <= number <= 255
a = binascii.hexlify(data)
card_series = int(a, 16)
There are a couple of issues with your approach. Firstly the BCC computation should include the data bytes. Secondly, data bytes depend on which command is being used, so if there are not any present, for example with the get version command, the format needs to be modified. I suggest your first command should be to get the version number. This will help you to prove that it is working correctly:
import binascii import struct STX = 0x02 def communicate(command, data=[]): address = 0x0 length = 1 + len(data) bcc = address ^ length ^ command for b in data: bcc ^= b if len(data): i = struct.pack('BBBB{}BB'.format(len(data)), STX, address, length, command, *(data + [bcc])) else: i = struct.pack('BBBBB'.format(len(data)), STX, address, length, command, bcc) # Display the command to be sent in hex print binascii.b2a_hex(i) ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB0', 9600) ser.write(i) time.sleep(.1) resp = ser.read() print binascii.b2a_hex(resp) # display response communicate(0x21) # Get version number communicate(0x23, [0]) # Set baud rate of device to 9600
To pass more data bytes, add more numbers to the list. | https://codedump.io/share/OO0zF4RBgwNk/1/trying-to-figure-out-block-data | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | refinedweb | 397 | 57.57 |
Introduction
The entire LLDB API is available as Python functions through a script bridging interface. This means the LLDB API's can be used directly from python either interactively or to build python apps that provide debugger features.
Additionally, Python can be used as a programmatic interface within the lldb command interpreter (we refer to this for brevity as the embedded interpreter). Of course, in this context it has full access to the LLDB API - with some additional conveniences we will call out in the FAQ.
Documentation
The LLDB API is contained in a python module named lldb. A useful resource when writing Python extensions is the lldb Python classes reference guide.
The documentation is also accessible in an interactive debugger session with the following command:
(lldb) script help(lldb) Help on package lldb: NAME lldb - The lldb module contains the public APIs for Python binding. FILE /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Python/lldb/__init__.py DESCRIPTION ...
You can also get help using a module class name. The full API that is exposed for that class will be displayed in a man page style window. Below we want to get help on the lldb.SBFrame class:
(lldb) script help(lldb.SBFrame) Help on class SBFrame in module lldb: class SBFrame(__builtin__.object) | Represents one of the stack frames associated with a thread. | SBThread contains SBFrame(s). For example (from test/lldbutil.py), | | def print_stacktrace(thread, string_buffer = False): | '''Prints a simple stack trace of this thread.''' | ...
Or you can get help using any python object, here we use the lldb.process object which is a global variable in the lldb module which represents the currently selected process:
(lldb) script help(lldb.process) Help on SBProcess in module lldb object: class SBProcess(__builtin__.object) | Represents the process associated with the target program. | | SBProcess supports thread iteration. For example (from test/lldbutil.py), | | # ================================================== | # Utility functions related to Threads and Processes | # ================================================== | ...
Embedded Python Interpreter
The embedded python interpreter can be accessed in a variety of ways from within LLDB. The easiest way is to use the lldb command script with no arguments at the lldb command prompt:
(lldb) script Python Interactive Interpreter. To exit, type 'quit()', 'exit()' or Ctrl-D. >>> 2+3 5 >>> hex(12345) '0x3039' >>>
This drops you into the embedded python interpreter. When running under the script command, lldb sets some convenience variables that give you quick access to the currently selected entities that characterize the program and debugger state. In each case, if there is no currently selected entity of the appropriate type, the variable's IsValid method will return false. These variables are:
While extremely convenient, these variables have a couple caveats that you should be aware of. First of all, they hold the values of the selected objects on entry to the embedded interpreter. They do not update as you use the LLDB API's to change, for example, the currently selected stack frame or thread.
Moreover, they are only defined and meaningful while in the interactive Python interpreter. There is no guarantee on their value in any other situation, hence you should not use them when defining Python formatters, breakpoint scripts and commands (or any other Python extension point that LLDB provides). As a rationale for such behavior, consider that lldb can run in a multithreaded environment, and another thread might call the "script" command, changing the value out from under you.
To get started with these objects and LLDB scripting, please note that almost
all of the lldb Python objects are able to briefly describe themselves when you pass them
to the Python print function:
(lldb) script
Python Interactive Interpreter. To exit, type 'quit()', 'exit()' or Ctrl-D.
>>> print lldb.debugger
Debugger (instance: "debugger_1", id: 1)
>>> print lldb.target
a.out
>>> print lldb.process
SBProcess: pid = 59289, state = stopped, threads = 1, executable = a.out
>>> print lldb.thread
SBThread: tid = 0x1f03
>>> print lldb.frame
frame #0: 0x0000000100000bb6 a.out main + 54 at main.c:16
Running a Python script when a breakpoint gets hit
One very powerful use of the lldb Python API is to have a python script run when a breakpoint gets hit. Adding python scripts to breakpoints provides a way to create complex breakpoint conditions and also allows for smart logging and data gathering.
When your process hits a breakpoint to which you have attached some python code, the code is executed as the body of a function which takes three arguments:
def breakpoint_function_wrapper(frame, bp_loc, dict):
# Your code goes here
Optionally, a Python breakpoint command can return a value. Returning False tells LLDB that you do not want to stop at the breakpoint. Any other return value (including None or leaving out the return statement altogether) is akin to telling LLDB to actually stop at the breakpoint. This can be useful in situations where a breakpoint only needs to stop the process when certain conditions are met, and you do not want to inspect the program state manually at every stop and then continue.
An example will show how simple it is to write some python code and attach it to a breakpoint. The following example will allow you to track the order in which the functions in a given shared library are first executed during one run of your program. This is a simple method to gather an order file which can be used to optimize function placement within a binary for execution locality.
We do this by setting a regular expression breakpoint that will match every function in the shared library. The regular expression '.' will match any string that has at least one character in it, so we will use that. This will result in one lldb.SBBreakpoint object that contains an lldb.SBBreakpointLocation object for each function. As the breakpoint gets hit, we use a counter to track the order in which the function at this particular breakpoint location got hit. Since our code is passed the location that was hit, we can get the name of the function from the location, disable the location so we won't count this function again; then log some info and continue the process.
Note we also have to initialize our counter, which we do with the simple one-line version of the script command.
Here is the code:
(lldb) breakpoint set --func-regex=. --shlib=libfoo.dylib
Breakpoint created: 1: regex = '.', module = libfoo.dylib, locations = 223
(lldb) script counter = 0
(lldb) breakpoint command add --script-type python 1
Enter your Python command(s). Type 'DONE' to end.
> # Increment our counter. Since we are in a function, this must be a global python variable
> global counter
> counter += 1
> # Get the name of the function
> name = frame.GetFunctionName()
> # Print the order and the function name
> print '[%i] %s' % (counter, name)
> # Disable the current breakpoint location so it doesn't get hit again
> bp_loc.SetEnabled(False)
> # No need to stop here
> return False
> DONE
The breakpoint command add command above attaches a python script to breakpoint 1. To remove the breakpoint command:
(lldb) breakpoint command delete 1
Using the Python API's to create custom stepping logic
A slightly esoteric use of the Python API's is to construct custom stepping types. LLDB's stepping is driven by a stack of "thread plans" and a fairly simple state machine that runs the plans. You can create a Python class that works as a thread plan, and responds to the requests the state machine makes to run its operations.
There is a longer discussion of scripted thread plans and the state machine, and several interesting examples of their use in:scripted_step.py
And for a MUCH fuller discussion of the whole state machine, see:ThreadPlan.h
If you are reading those comments it is useful to know that scripted thread plans are set to be "MasterPlans", and not "OkayToDiscard".
To implement a scripted step, you define a python class that has the following methods:
To use this class to implement a step, use the command:
(lldb) thread step-scripted -C MyModule.MyStepPlanClass
Or use the SBThread.StepUsingScriptedThreadPlan API. The SBThreadPlan passed into your __init__ function can also push several common plans (step in/out/over and run-to-address) in front of itself on the stack, which can be used to compose more complex stepping operations. When you use subsidiary plans your explains_stop and should_stop methods won't get called until the subsidiary plan is done, or the process stops for an event the subsidiary plan doesn't explain. For instance, step over plans don't explain a breakpoint hit while performing the step-over.
Create a new LLDB command using a python function
Python functions can be used to create new LLDB command interpreter commands, which will work like all the natively defined lldb commands. This provides a very flexible and easy way to extend LLDB to meet your debugging requirements.
To write a python function that implements a new LLDB command define the function to take four arguments as follows:
Optionally, you can also provide a Python docstring, and LLDB will use it when providing help for your command, as in:Optionally, you can also provide a Python docstring, and LLDB will use it when providing help for your command, as in:def command_function(debugger, command, result, internal_dict): # Your code goes here
Starting with SVN revision 218834, LLDB Python commands can also take an SBExecutionContext as an argument. This is useful in cases where the command's notion of where to act is independent of the currently-selected entities in the debugger.Starting with SVN revision 218834, LLDB Python commands can also take an SBExecutionContext as an argument. This is useful in cases where the command's notion of where to act is independent of the currently-selected entities in the debugger.def command_function(debugger, command, result, internal_dict): """This command takes a lot of options and does many fancy things""" # Your code goes here
This feature is enabled if the command-implementing function can be recognized as taking 5 arguments, or a variable number of arguments, and it alters the signature as such:
def command_function(debugger, command, exe_ctx, result, internal_dict): # Your code goes here
Starting with SVN revision 232224, Python commands can also be implemented by means of a class which should implement the following interface:
class CommandObjectType:[1] This method is optional.
def __init__(self, debugger, session_dict):
this call should initialize the command with respect to the command interpreter for the passed-in debugger
def __call__(self, debugger, command, exe_ctx, result):
this is the actual bulk of the command, akin to Python command functions
def get_short_help(self):
this call should return the short help text for this command[1]
def get_long_help(self):
this call should return the long help text for this command[1]
As a convenience, you can treat the result object as a Python file object, and say
SBCommandReturnObject and SBStream
both support this file-like behavior by providing write() and flush() calls at the Python layer.
print >>result, "my command does lots of cool stuff"
One other handy convenience when defining lldb command-line commands is the command command script import which will import a module specified by file path - so you don't have to change your PYTHONPATH for temporary scripts. It also has another convenience that if your new script module has a function of the form:
def __lldb_init_module(debugger, internal_dict): # Command Initialization code goes here
where debugger and internal_dict are as above, that function will get run when the module is loaded
allowing you to add whatever commands you want into the current debugger. Note that
this function will only be run when using the LLDB command command script import,
it will not get run if anyone imports your module from another module.
If you want to always run code when your module is loaded from LLDB
or when loaded via an import statement in python code
you can test the lldb.debugger object, since you imported the:
A commonly required facility is being able to create a command that does some token substitution, and then runs a different debugger command
(usually, it po'es the result of an expression evaluated on its argument). For instance, given the following program:
if __name__ == '__main__':
# Create a new debugger instance in your module if your module
# can be run from the command line. When we run a script from
# the command line, we won't have any debugger object in
# lldb.debugger, so we can just create it if it will be needed
lldb.debugger = lldb.SBDebugger.Create()
elif lldb.debugger:
# Module is being run inside the LLDB interpreter
lldb.debugger.HandleCommand('command script add -f ls.ls ls')
print 'The "ls" python command has been installed and is ready for use.'
#!/usr/bin/python
import lldb
import commands
import optparse
import shlex
def ls(debugger, command, result, internal_dict):
print >>result, (commands.getoutput('/bin/ls %s' % command))
# And the initialization code to add your commands
def __lldb_init_module(debugger, internal_dict):
debugger.HandleCommand('command script add -f ls.ls ls')
print 'The "ls" python command has been installed and is ready for use.'
% lldb
(lldb) command script import ~/ls.py
The "ls" python command has been installed and is ready for use.

you may want a pofoo X command, that equates po [ModifyString(X) capitalizedString].
The following debugger interaction shows how to achieve that goal:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
NSString*
ModifyString(NSString* src)
{
return [src stringByAppendingString:@"foobar"];
}
int main()
{
NSString* aString = @"Hello world";
NSString* anotherString = @"Let's be friends";
return 1;
}

Python Interactive Interpreter. To exit, type 'quit()', 'exit()' or Ctrl-D.
>>> def pofoo_funct(debugger, command, result, internal_dict):
... cmd = "po [ModifyString(" + command + ") capitalizedString]"
... lldb.debugger.HandleCommand(cmd)

>>> ^D
(lldb) command script add pofoo -f pofoo_funct

(lldb) pofoo anotherString
$2 = 0x000000010010aba0 Let's Be Friendsfoobar:cmdtemplate.py
A commonly required facility is being able to create a command that does some token substitution, and then runs a different debugger command
(usually, it po'es the result of an expression evaluated on its argument). For instance, given the following program:
Using the lldb.py module in python
LLDB has all of its core code build into a shared library which gets used by the lldb command line application. On Mac OS X this shared library is a framework: LLDB.framework and on other unix variants the program is a shared library: lldb.so. LLDB also provides an lldb.py module that contains the bindings from LLDB into Python. To use the LLDB.framework to create your own stand-alone python programs, you will need to tell python where to look in order to find this module. This is done by setting the PYTHONPATH environment variable, adding a path to the directory that contains the lldb.py python module. On Mac OS X, this is contained inside the LLDB.framework, so you would do:
For csh and tcsh:
% setenv PYTHONPATH /Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Resources/Python
For sh and bash:
% export PYTHONPATH=/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LLDB.framework/Resources/Python
Alternately, you can append the LLDB Python directory to the sys.path list directly in your Python code before importing the lldb module.
Now your python scripts are ready to import the lldb module. Below is a python script that will launch a program from the current working directory called "a.out", set a breakpoint at "main", and then run and hit the breakpoint, and print the process, thread and frame objects if the process stopped:
#!/usr/bin/python import lldb import os def disassemble_instructions(insts): for i in insts: print i # Set the path to the executable to debug exe = "./a.out" # Create a new debugger instance debugger = lldb.SBDebugger.Create() # When we step or continue, don't return from the function until the process # stops. Otherwise we would have to handle the process events ourselves which, while doable is #a little tricky. We do this by setting the async mode to false. debugger.SetAsync (False) # Create a target from a file and arch print "Creating a target for '%s'" % exe target = debugger.CreateTargetWithFileAndArch (exe, lldb.LLDB_ARCH_DEFAULT) if target: # If the target is valid set a breakpoint at main main_bp = target.BreakpointCreateByName ("main", target.GetExecutable().GetFilename()); print main_bp # Launch the process. Since we specified synchronous mode, we won't return # from this function until we hit the breakpoint at main process = target.LaunchSimple (None, None, os.getcwd()) # Make sure the launch went ok if process: # Print some simple process info state = process.GetState () print process if state == lldb.eStateStopped: # Get the first thread thread = process.GetThreadAtIndex (0) if thread: # Print some simple thread info print thread # Get the first frame frame = thread.GetFrameAtIndex (0) if frame: # Print some simple frame info print frame function = frame.GetFunction() # See if we have debug info (a function) if function: # We do have a function, print some info for the function print function # Now get all instructions for this function and print them insts = function.GetInstructions(target) disassemble_instructions (insts) else: # See if we have a symbol in the symbol table for where we stopped symbol = frame.GetSymbol(); if symbol: # We do have a symbol, print some info for the symbol print symbol | http://lldb.llvm.org/python-reference.html | CC-MAIN-2017-34 | refinedweb | 2,894 | 62.27 |

Introduction
Gestus will store some datas about your project :
- Its name and a description;
- Its kind of environnement (integration or production);
- Its server hostname;
- The URL where the website project is published;
- A list of installed packages with their version;
Require
- djangorestframework >= 2.3
Install
Add PO Projects to your installed apps in settings :
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'gestus' 'rest_framework' ... )
Then add the djangorestframework settings :
REST_FRAMEWORK = { 'PAGINATE_BY': 10, #.IsAdminUser', #'rest_framework.permissions.DjangoModelPermissionsOrAnonReadOnly', ), }
Finally mount its urls in your main urls.py :
urlpatterns = patterns('', ... (r'^gestus/', include('gestus.urls', namespace='gestus')), (r'^api-auth/', include('rest_framework.urls', namespace='rest_framework')), ... )
External API access
With djangorestframework a rest API will be available on :
/gestus/rest/
It is browsable for authenticated users with admin rights (is_staff on True), also the client will need to access to the API with an user accounts with the admin rights.
Gestus-client is client to use the API from your project.

How to Integrate Spring Boot and Apache Camel
How to Integrate Spring Boot and Apache Camel
Spring Boot and Apache Camel have both made developers' lives a lot easier. When integrated, they can be great resource.
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Spring Boot has really made developers' lives easier. Spring Boot's starters and auto-configurators reduce a lot of burden on developers. Another nice integration framework is Apache Camel, which provided abstraction over different technologies. In this article, we'll learn how to integrate Spring Boot and Apache Camel.
Spring Boot projects can be created in two ways. One is through Spring Boot Intitializr (which we are doing here) and the other is through the STS Plugin for Eclipse.
When you enter the Spring Initializr website, you'll be greeted with the interface below.
Choose the build tool. You can choose either Maven or Gradle. I'm choosing Maven.
Choose the Spring Boot version. Generally, it'll be auto-selected to stabilize the latest release.
Provide the Group ID and Artifact ID for your project.
Choose your starters. This is the most important step! Type "web" in the text box and select Web, then type "Camel select apache camel." Intializr will automatically select the required dependencies for you.
Click Generate Project, and then you'll get a ZIP file.
After the ZIP downloads, extract the ZIP file and fire up Eclipse import as a Maven project. When the import process completes, Spring starters will help Maven download all the required dependencies for Camel.
Now, let's get our hands dirty.
Create a
RestController for invoking the Camel route:
package com.dzone.sboot.camel.controllers; import org.apache.camel.CamelContext; import org.apache.camel.ProducerTemplate; import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController; @RestController public class CamelController { @Autowired ProducerTemplate producerTemplate; @RequestMapping(value = "/") public void startCamel() { producerTemplate.sendBody("direct:firstRoute", "Calling via Spring Boot Rest Controller"); } }
Here, we're calling
firstRoute and sending the body
"Calling via Spring Boot Rest Controller" using
ProducerTemplate .
Let's create a component class for placing Camel Routes:
package com.dzone.sboot.camel.routes; import org.apache.camel.builder.RouteBuilder; import org.springframework.stereotype.Component; @Component public class CamelRoutes extends RouteBuilder { @Override public void configure() throws Exception { from("direct:firstRoute") .log("Camel body: ${body}"); } }
The specialty of Camel starter is that it'll auto-wire the Camel context and auto-detect all of the Camel routes in our application.
You already have a main method, which was created by Intializr:
package com.dzone.sboot.camel; import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication; import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication; @SpringBootApplication public class SpringBootCamelIntegrationApplication { public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(SpringBootCamelIntegrationApplication.class, args); } }
Now, right-click on your project and then click on Run As > Spring Boot Application. When that application starts, hit. Viola! You'll see the body that we sent from Spring Rest Controller in the console:
This is the doorstep application to Spring Boot and Camel. You can do a lot of things with both the technologies. If you have any queries, please feel free to reach out to me. Feel free to check it out on GitHub, too.

Do you want to learn how to load a xib file to create a custom view object? Well, this UIKit tutorial is just for you written in Swift.
I already have a comprehensive guide about initializing views and controllers, but that one lacks a very special case: creating a custom view using interface builder. 🤷♂️
Using the contents of a xib file is a pretty damn easy task to do. You can use the following two methods to load the contents (aka. the view hierarchy) of the file.
let view = UINib(nibName: "CustomView", bundle: .main).instantiate(withOwner: nil, options: nil).first as! UIView // let view = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("CustomView", owner: nil, options: nil)!.first as! UIView // does the same as above view.frame = self.view.bounds self.view.addSubview(view)
The snippet above will simply instantiate a view object from the xib file. You can have multiple root objects in the view hierarchy, but this time let's just pick the first one and use that. I assume that in 99% of the cases this is what you'll need in order to get your custom designed views. Also you can extend the UIView object with any of the solutions above to create a generic view loader. More on that later... 😊
This method is pretty simple and cheap, however there is one little drawback. You can't get named pointers (outlets) for the views, but only for the root object. If you are putting design elements into your screen, that's fine, but if you need to display dynamic data, you might want to reach out for the underlying views as well. 😃
Custom views with outlets & actions
So the proper way to load custom views from xib files goes something like this:
Inside your custom view object, you instantiate the xib file exactly the same way as I told you right up here. 👆 The only difference is that you don't need to use the object array returned by the methods, but you have to connect your view objects through the interface builder, using the File's Owner as a reference point, plus a custom container view outlet, that'll contain everything you need. 🤨
// note: view object is from my previous tutorial, with autoresizing masks disabled class CustomView: View { // this is going to be our container object @IBOutlet weak var containerView: UIView! // other usual outlets @IBOutlet weak var textLabel: UILabel! override func initialize() { super.initialize() // first: load the view hierarchy to get proper outlets let name = String(describing: type(of: self)) let nib = UINib(nibName: name, bundle: .main) nib.instantiate(withOwner: self, options: nil) // next: append the container to our view self.addSubview(self.containerView) self.containerView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ self.containerView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.topAnchor), self.containerView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.bottomAnchor), self.containerView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.leadingAnchor), self.containerView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.trailingAnchor), ]) } }
So the initialize method here is just loading the nib file with the owner of self. After the loading process finished, your outlet pointers are going to be filled with proper values from the xib file. There is one last thing that we need to do. Even the views from the xib file are "programmatically" connected to our custom view object, but visually they aren't. So we have to add our container view into the view hierarchy. 🤐
If you want to use your custom view object, you just have to create a new instance from it - inside a view controller - and finally feel free to add it as a subview!
One word about bounds, frames aka. springs and struts: f*ckng UGLY! That's two words. They are considered as a bad practice, so please use auto layout, I have a nice tutorial about anchors, they are amazing and learning them takes about 15 minutes. 😅
class ViewController: UIViewController { weak var customView: CustomView! override func loadView() { super.loadView() let customView = CustomView() self.view.addSubview(customView) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ customView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.topAnchor), customView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.bottomAnchor), customView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.leadingAnchor), customView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.trailingAnchor), ]) self.customView = customView } override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() self.customView.textLabel.text = "Lorem ipsum" } }
That's it, now you have a completely working custom UIView object that loads a xib file in order to use it's contents. Wasn't so bad, right? 🤪
One more extra thing. If you don't like to handle views programmatically or you simply don't want to mess around with the loadView method, just remove it entirely. Next put the @IBOutlet keyword right before your custom view class variable. Open your storyboard using IB, then drag & drop a new UIView element to your controller and connect the custom view outlet. It should work like magic. 💫
I promised outlets and actions in the heading of this section, so let's talk a little bit about IBActions. They work exactly the same as you'd expect them with controllers. You can simply hook-up a button to your custom view and delegate the action to the custom view class. If you want to forward touches or specific actions to a controller, you should use the delegate pattern or go with a simple block. 😎
Ownership and container views
It is possible to leave out all the xib loading mechanism from the view instance. We can create a set of extensions in order to have a nice view loader with a custom view class from a xib file. This way you don't need a container view anymore, also the owner of the file can be left out from the game, it's more or less the same method as reusable cells for tables and collections created by Apple. 🍎
You should know that going this way you can't use your default UIView init methods programmatically anymore, because the xib file will take care of the init process. Also if you are trying to use this kind of custom views from a storyboard or xib file, you won't be able to use your outlets, because the correspondig xib of the view class won't be loaded. Otherwise if you are trying to load it manyally you'll run into an infinite loop and eventually your app will crash like hell. 😈
import UIKit extension UINib { func instantiate() -> Any? { return self.instantiate(withOwner: nil, options: nil).first } } extension UIView { static var nib: UINib { return UINib(nibName: String(describing: self), bundle: nil) } static func instantiate(autolayout: Bool = true) -> Self { // generic helper function func instantiateUsingNib<T: UIView>(autolayout: Bool) -> T { let view = self.nib.instantiate() as! T view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = !autolayout return view } return instantiateUsingNib(autolayout: autolayout) } } class CustomView: UIView { @IBOutlet weak var textLabel: UILabel! } // usage (inside a view controller for example) // let view = CustomView.instantiate()
Just like with table or collection view cells this time you have to set your custom view class on the view object, instead of the File's Owner. You have to connect your outlets and basically you're done with everything. 🤞
From now on you should ALWAYS use the instantiate method on your custom view object. The good news is that the function is generic, returns the proper instance type and it's highly reusable. Oh, btw. I already mentioned the bad news... 🤪
There is also one more technique by overriding awakeAfter, but I would not rely on that solution anymore. In most of the cases you can simply set the File's Owner to your custom view, and go with a container, that's a safe bet. If you have special needs you might need the second approach, but please be careful with that. 😉

Package arn provides a parser for interacting with Amazon Resource Names.
IsARN returns whether the given string is an arn by looking for whether the string starts with arn:
type ARN struct { // The partition that the resource is in. For standard AWS regions, the partition is "aws". If you have resources in // other partitions, the partition is "aws-partitionname". For example, the partition for resources in the China // (Beijing) region is "aws-cn". Partition string // The service namespace that identifies the AWS product (for example, Amazon S3, IAM, or Amazon RDS). For a list of // namespaces, see //. Service string // The region the resource resides in. Note that the ARNs for some resources do not require a region, so this // component might be omitted. Region string // The ID of the AWS account that owns the resource, without the hyphens. For example, 123456789012. Note that the // ARNs for some resources don't require an account number, so this component might be omitted. AccountID string // The content of this part of the ARN varies by service. It often includes an indicator of the type of resource — // for example, an IAM user or Amazon RDS database - followed by a slash (/) or a colon (:), followed by the // resource name itself. Some services allows paths for resource names, as described in //. Resource string }
ARN captures the individual fields of an Amazon Resource Name. See for more information.
Parse parses an ARN into its constituent parts.
Some example ARNs: arn:aws:elasticbeanstalk:us-east-1:123456789012:environment/My App/MyEnvironment arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/David arn:aws:rds:eu-west-1:123456789012:db:mysql-db arn:aws:s3:::my_corporate_bucket/exampleobject.png
String returns the canonical representation of the ARN

You can build Angular apps using plain old JavaScript and TypeScript. I’ve been using plain JavaScript for the past Angular demonstrations, because I felt in love again with JavaScript after spending years with CoffeeScript (But that’s a different story). However, teams at Google and Microsoft were working together in these days to marriage Angular and TypeScript. If you don’t know TypeScript yet, go and learn it. It will change the way how you write Frontend stuff in the upcoming years. You can think of it as todays *JavaScript on steroids. It makes you more productive, it makes your code more robust, you’ve to write less plumbing because the TypeScript Compiler (TSC) generates all the good parts of JavaScript and knows about the edge-cases.
THINK: When I use TypeScript I’ll end in doing less keystrokes; That means I’ll be faster 🤘
Go and checkout the repository on GitHub. You can find the entire application there. To automate the build process I’ve created a
gulpfile.js. It takes care about all the transpiling, copying and other required build steps to generate the Electron apps for all three major platforms (Windows, Linux and of course MacOS).
By using
gulp-typescript, you can easily compile the TypeScript sources to plain JavaScript which is managed by
SystemJS at runtime.
gulp.task('private:build-app', function(){ var project = typescript.createProject('tsconfig.json'); var tsResult = project.src() .pipe(typescript(project)); return tsResult.js.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/frontend')); });
See the entire
gulpfile.js here.
More important are some pitfalls when combining Angular with Electron. There are plenty of demo applications available out there. However, a quick google didn’t bring up a single sample using angular’s new component router.
As mentioned within angular’s developer guide on angular.io, the router requires a
<base href="/foo"/> or
<base href="/"> in order to work as expected. If you don’t add the
base node within
<head> Angular throws an error like shown in figure 1.
Adding the
<base /> element works fine when running inside of the Browser. However, it prevents the app from finding the routes when executing the same source in Electron. You can alternatively configure the
base within your application’s bootstrap routine.
This is required when you’re loading scripts from within Electron’s renderer process.
Snippet 1 shows the
boot.ts file which is responsible for bootstrapping our Angular app.
import { provide } from 'angular2/core'; import { bootstrap } from 'angular2/platform/browser'; import { AppComponent } from './components/app/app.component'; import { ROUTER_PROVIDERS, APP_BASE_HREF } from 'angular2/router'; bootstrap(AppComponent, [ROUTER_PROVIDERS, provide(APP_BASE_HREF, {useValue : '/'})]);
The essential and new part here is the usage of
provide to tell angular where the new
base is. However, there is more required. Angular is offering a
Location service which is responsible for interacting with the browser’s URL. Check out
app.component.ts (Snippet 2); the
RouteConfig can take an optional
useAsDefault property of type boolean. Setting this to true works fine when not using
provide but the combination of
provide and
useAsDefault: true didn’t work for me here. That’s why I used the
Location service (provided by Angular’s DI container) to redirect the user immediately to the Splash Component.
import { Component } from 'angular2/core'; import { RouteConfig, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES, Location } from 'angular2/router'; import { SplashComponent } from "../splash/splash.component"; @Component({ selector: 'sampleapp', templateUrl: 'templates/app.html', directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES] }) @RouteConfig([ { path: '/splash', name: 'Splash', component: SplashComponent } ]) export class AppComponent { constructor(private _location: Location) { _location.go('/splash'); } }
Within the current publicly available version of this sample,I’ve to load the splash template by using the plain
template property when using
templateUrl as I did for the
app.component.ts angular2 isn’t able to find the template. For now, it seems like the template is requested after the AppBaseHref is set and in combination with electron’s path handling Angular isn’t able to find the template at a given URL.
Action required
If you’ve any idea how to fix that feel free to send me a pull request on GitHub or chat with me about it. | https://thorsten-hans.com/building-an-electron-app-using-angular-beta0-in-typescript | CC-MAIN-2019-18 | refinedweb | 685 | 56.96 |
Help:Lesson
This help page is intended to help new contributors to Wikiversity write lessons (as distinct from other resource types). The page is primarily aimed at inexperienced (web) educators with little or no previous experience of writing (online) educational content. There are many resources in the main namespace of Wikiversity which can also be classified as "teacher training" or which help with the creating of learning resources - however these will be more advanced. This help page is nothing more than a help page which covers the basics. It will help contributors who want a fast track to creating learning content for Wikiversity.
Contents
What is a lesson?[edit]
Possibly the most unpretentious definition ever of the word "lesson" comes from the Moodle help system:
- "A lesson delivers content in an interesting and flexible way. It consists of a number of pages." (Moodle)
Lesson structure[edit]
This is just a very basic starter kind of structure you can use. It is a structure so common that it is cliched and laughed at, but it should not be ignored, especially if you don't know what else to do. If you use this structure (good), then try not to use the same labels as section headers (bad) - use other words instead, and then people probably won't notice what you're doing.
- Preparation / teaser / introduction: warmer; motivational; make the audience feel an urgent desire for the material they are about to get; statement of goals; very short; get ideas from TV show teasers?
- Presentation / model / instructions: the main content; you lay your cards on the table.
- Practice / consolidation / interaction: the learners begin to recycle the material presented or carry out the instructions, first in more closed/passive/rule-following fashions, but then with increasing open/active/creative exercises.
- Production / evaluation / the bit at the end: less agreement between educators what this is about - might be a phase where learners show full independence with the learning material (project), or a formal assessment for the teacher to check on learning success, or some kind of feedback session or link into the next lesson.
Watchpoints for writing lessons[edit]
Big yes-yeses[edit]
- Identify the audience.
- And be precise about it. Wikiversity is not Wikipedia.
- Encyclopedia articles are written for a non-existent single, abstract, culturally and ideologically neutral, theoretically educated adult.
- Lessons should be written with a very precise and real audience in mind all the time. The audience will differ for almost every set of resources. Picture to yourself how your audience will react to each section.
- Identifying an audience is much harder in an online environment - unless you are lucky enough to have your audience in the same room - but you must bear them in mind all the time. Don't over-estimate the audience. Don't invent the audience of your dreams - be realistic.
- Connect with the audience (style, interest, fun, interactivity)
- Trying to connect with an online audience is rather like trying to tell jokes to a camera. All the same, you have to try. You don't want to be a newscaster. Your style of writing should talk to the audience in a way that makes them feel involved and personally understood. Use techniques to maintain interest, both in the joins from one paragraph to the next, and an overarching technique that keeps the beginning and end of the lesson tightly together. Give the reader reason to keep reading. Lessons can be fun - fun isn't allowed on Wikipedia - but it's critical to a good Wikiversity lesson, if you can manage it. Interactivity can involve things like quizzes, discussions and collaborative writing - but maintain variety and keep each activity small.
- Use structured sequences
- Start with what is known and move to the unknown
- Lessons start with establishing common ground, such as revising what was learnt before, or finding out what is already known and then responding to this. Learning requires a foundation to build on - if you can't find that foundation, you won't be able to create a learning situation. This is one reason why you really need to identify and connect with the audience any way you can.
- Use variety
- Use a variety of methods; different parts of your "structured sequence" should use different methods. Also use different media types (video, audio, text, images). Sound and vision are the only two senses the digital learner can rely on, but a real-world class can benefit from all five senses - multi-sensual experiences promote learning.
- Repetition and redundancy
- Don't feel you constantly have to move on and teach new stuff, cramming as much knowledge into the lesson as you can. That kind of thing is for encyclopedias. Instead, keep (1) your learning goal and (2) your audience in mind, and try to create as many possible different lines of connection between these two things as you can. For example, use different methods to teach the same point (if it doesn't go in one way, it might go in another). Don't be afraid to repeat yourself, but preferably say it in different ways unless you want a laugh. Recycling material after suitable time periods helps memorisation. Methods of repeating and revising material include interactive sections such as quizzes and productive activities - as well as, ummm, saying it again.
- Bridge theory and practice
- Examples and case studies are good.
- Feedback
- Somewhere along the line it is good if you get some kind of feedback from your audience. Learners can leave messages on the lesson talk page, your own talk page as facilitator, or they can send you email - as you prefer. They can also indirectly contribute feedback while creating content. Try to motivate user response, even if it's just a userbox or your personal seal of approval which you promise them in return.
- If you have spare time
- Read things which tell you how to be funny while warning you how not to be stupid - it will make you a more interesting writer.
Big no-noes[edit]
- Too much collaboration too soon is really, really bad.
- Wikis are temptingly collaborative, but collaborative online education is massively difficult to pull off successfully. A collaborative resource with 0-1 participants lies somewhere between funny and sad; it does not educate. Ditto 100 people crammed into the state of confusion created by misdirected participatory requirements. Many good resources on Wikiversity - perhaps the majority of the good ones - are written and completed in an individualistic manner for a passive audience. Write something for a passive audience first, then graduate to the next level. When you start with collaborative lessons, bring your own classes for the first ones, otherwise you or your materials may die of loneliness, or you may never become aware of the mass confusion you caused.
- Don't try to be what you're not.
- Be yourself and not somebody else - teachers have naturally different styles, and trying to adopt someone else's style can turn a good teacher into a bad teacher. If you are new to teaching, you may not be aware of your style yet.
- Don't follow methodological fads.
- Especially not the one you just read or went to a course about. Unless it naturally fits your style. Or unless you can take the risk of massive failure (remembering always that failures are great learning opportunities, provided you live).
- "Build it and they will come" is not a good principle of web education.
- Try: hard work, quality, a bit of marketing such as proper resource categorisation, really nice piccies and layout, bring your own class anyway just to make sure, and if all else fails, tell them the answers to the next test are numerologically disguised in the text.
- Collaboration is not wiki-heaven.
- Collective resource creation (if it works) brings conflict. Guaranteed. But it could be educational if you manage to steer things in the right direction. Just be prepared, get your expectations right and bring a sweat bowl.
- Try not to do everything at once.
- Did this page have a lot on it? Never mind. If you got half of it first time round, that's great. Go and make a resource, and another, and then come back here and pick up some more ideas, or leave your comments and experiences on the talk page.

The checks are run as part of a single
check-source target, but are described
in separate sections below. In addition to printing the issues to
stderr,
the script also writes them into
docs/doxygen/check-source.log for later
inspection. Jenkins runs the checks as part of the Documentation job, and the
build is marked unstable if any issues are found.
For correct functionality, the scripts depend on correct usage of Doxygen annotations described in Using Doxygen, in particular the visibility and API definitions in file-level comments.
For some false positives from the script, the suppression mechanism described below is the easiest way to silence the script, but otherwise the goal would be to minimize the number of suppressions.
The scripts require Python 2.7 (other versions may work, but have not been tested).
To understand how the scripts work internally, see comments in the Python
source files under
docs/doxygen/.
Checker details¶
The
check-source target currently checks for a few different types of issues.
These are listed in detail below, mainly related to documentation and include
dependencies. Note in particular that the include dependency checks are much
stricter for code in modules/directories that are documented with a
\defgroup: all undocumented code is assumed to be internal to such modules.
The rationale is that such code has gotten some more attention, and some effort
should also have been put into defining what is the external interface of the
module and documenting it.
For all Doxygen documentation (currently does not apply for members that do not appear in the documentation):
-.
For all files:
Consistent usage of
#include "..." // This should be used for GROMACS headers
and
#include <...> // This should be used for system and external headers
When we again have installed headers, they must not include non-installed headers. Headers should be marked for install within
CMakeLists.txtfiles of their respective modules.
All source files must include “gmxpre.h” as the first header.
A source/header file should include “config.h,” “gromacs/simd/simd.h”, or “gromacs/ewald/pme_simd.h” if and only if it uses a macro declared in such files.
If the file has a git attribute to identify it as a candidate for include sorting, the include sorter described below should not produce any changes (i.e., the file should follow Guidelines for #include directives).
For documented files:
- modules.
As a side effect, the XML extraction makes Doxygen parse all comments in the
code, even if they do not appear in the documentation. This can reveal latent
issues in the comments, like invalid Doxygen syntax. The messages from the XML
parsing are stored in
docs/doxygen/doxygen-xml.log in the build tree, similar to
other Doxygen runs.
Suppressing issues¶
The script is not currently perfect (either because of unfinished
implementation, or because Doxygen bugs or incompleteness of the Doxygen XML
output), and the current code also contains issues that the script detects, but
the authors have not fixed. To allow the script to still be used,
doxygen/suppressions.txt contains a list of issues that are filtered out from
the report. The syntax is simple:
<file>: <text>
where
<file> is a path to the file that reports the message, and
<text> is
the text reported. Both support
* as a wildcard. If
<file> is empty, the
suppression matches only messages that do not have an associated file.
<file> is matched against the trailing portion of the file name to make it
work even though the script reports absolute paths.
Empty lines and lines starting with
# are ignored.
To add a suppression for an issue, the line that reports the issue can be
copied into
suppressions.txt, and the line number (if any) removed. If the
issue does not have a file name (or a pseudo-file) associated, a leading
:
must be added. To cover many similar issues, parts of the line can then be
replaced with wildcards.
A separate suppression mechanism is in place for cyclic dependencies: to suppress a cycle between moduleA and moduleB, add a line with format
moduleA -> moduleB
into
doxygen/cycle-suppressions.txt. This suppresses all cycles that contain
the mentioned edge. Since a cycle contains multiple edges, the suppression
should be made for the edge that is determined to be an incorrect dependency.
This also affects the layout of the include dependency graphs (see below): the
suppressed edge is not considered when determining the dependency order, and is
shown as invalid in the graph.
Include order sorting¶
The script checks include ordering according to Guidelines for #include directives. If it is not obvious how the includes should be changed to make the script happy, or bulk changes are needed in multiple files, e.g., because of a header rename or making a previously public header private, it is possible to run a Python script that does the sorting:
docs/doxygen/includesorter.py -S . -B ../build <files>
The script needs to know the location of the source tree (given with
-S) and
the build tree (given with
-B), and sorts the given files. To sort the whole
source tree, one can also use:
admin/reformat_all.sh includesort -B=../build
For the sorter to work correctly, the build tree should contain up-to-date list
of installed files and Doxygen XML documentation. The former is created
automatically when
cmake is run, and the latter can be built using the
doxygen-xml target.
Note that currently, the sorter script does not change between angle brackets and quotes in include statements.
Include dependency graphs¶
The same set of Python scripts can also produce include dependency graphs with some additional annotations compared to what, e.g., Doxygen produces for a directory dependency graph. Currently, a module-level graph is automatically built when the Doxygen documentation is built and embedded in the documentation (not in the public API documentation). The graph, together with a legend, is on a separate page: Module dependency graph
The Python script produces the graphs in a format suitable for
dot (from the
graphviz package) to lay them out. The build system also provides a
dep-graphs target that generates PNG files from the intermediate
dot files.
In addition to the module-level graph, a file-level graph is produced for
each module, showing the include dependencies within that module.
The file-level graphs can only be viewed as the PNG files, with some
explanation of the notation below. Currently, these are mostly for eye candy,
but they can also be used for analyzing problematic dependencies to clean up
the architecture.
Both the intermediate
.dot files and the final PNG files are put under
docs/doxygen/depgraphs/ in the build tree.. | https://manual.gromacs.org/current/dev-manual/gmxtree.html | CC-MAIN-2021-39 | refinedweb | 1,109 | 55.24 |

Eigen 3.1.2
Released on Nov 05, 2012
Changes since 3.1.1:
-. - MKL support: represents about 600 commits since Eigen 3.0. | http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=ChangeLog&oldid=2412 | CC-MAIN-2020-16 | refinedweb | 7,617 | 51.14 |
Supp use collapsible regions in js files, but in this case I would lose javascript intellisense in VS 2008. I even thought about creating my own text editor plug-in for VS, but again - what about intellisense.
Earlier or later, I found one nice solution to the problem on Microsoft forums. Yes - it's so simple. The solution uses simple macros which parses current document and creates collapsible regions for
//#region
//#endregion
pairs.
So simple :)
Thanks to the author!
And because I don't not find it to be easily detectable in the internet, I decided to blog this.
Just do the following steps to support //#region directive:
1) Open Macro explorer:
2) Create new macro:
3) Name it "OutlineRegions":
4) Click "Edit" macro and paste the following VB code into it:
Option Strict Off Option Explicit Off Imports System Imports EnvDTE Imports EnvDTE80 Imports System.Diagnostics Imports System.Collections Public Module JsMacros Sub OutlineRegions() Dim selection As EnvDTE.TextSelection = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection Const REGION_START As String = "//#region" Const REGION_END As String = "//#endregion" selection.SelectAll() Dim text As String = selection.Text selection.StartOfDocument(True) Dim startIndex As Integer Dim endIndex As Integer Dim lastIndex As Integer = 0 Dim startRegions As Stack = New Stack() Do startIndex = text.IndexOf(REGION_START, lastIndex) endIndex = text.IndexOf(REGION_END, lastIndex) If startIndex = -1 AndAlso endIndex = -1 Then Exit Do End If If startIndex <> -1 AndAlso startIndex < endIndex Then startRegions.Push(startIndex) lastIndex = startIndex + 1 Else ' Outline region ... selection.MoveToLineAndOffset(CalcLineNumber(text, CInt(startRegions.Pop())), 1) selection.MoveToLineAndOffset(CalcLineNumber(text, endIndex) + 1, 1, True) selection.OutlineSection() lastIndex = endIndex + 1 End If Loop selection.StartOfDocument() End Sub Private Function CalcLineNumber(ByVal text As String, ByVal index As Integer) Dim lineNumber As Integer = 1 Dim i As Integer = 0 While i < index If text.Chars(i) = vbCr Then lineNumber += 1 i += 1 End If i += 1 End While Return lineNumber End Function End Module
5) Save the macro and close the editor.
6) Now let's assign shortcut to the macro. Go to Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard and search for your macro in "show commands containing" textbox:
7) now in textbox under the "Press shortcut keys" you can enter the desired shortcut. I use Ctrl+M+E. I don't know why - I just entered it first time and use it now :)
That's it, now if you write the following javascript code:
/// <reference name="MicrosoftAjax.debug.js" /> /// <reference name="MicrosoftAjaxTimer.debug.js" /> /// <reference name="MicrosoftAjaxWebForms.debug.js" /> // KWB.BaseWizard class constructor //#region Type.registerNamespace("KWB"); KWB.BaseWizard = function(field) { // call base constructor KWB.BaseWizard.initializeBase(this); this._state = null; } //#endregion // KWB.BaseWizard Class Body //#region KWB.BaseWizard.prototype = { // Sys.Component Overrides //#region dispose : function () { this._state = null; this._stateField = null; this.lastClicked = null; Sys.Application.remove_load(this.appLoad); KWB.BaseWizard.callBaseMethod(this, 'dispose'); }, initialize : function() { KWB.BaseWizard.callBaseMethod(this, 'initialize'); }, //#endregion // Properties //#region get_state : function() { return this._state; }, set_state : function(value) { this._state = value; }, //#endregion // Methods //#region getNext : function(current) { /// <summary> /// Override. Called when 'next' is called. Determines next frame to display /// </summary> /// <param name="current">current SelectedIndex</param> return current + 1; }, getPrevious : function(current) { /// <summary> /// Override. Called when 'previous' is called. Determines previous frame to display /// </summary> /// <param name="current">current SelectedIndex</param> return current - 1; }, finish : function() { /// <summary> /// Override. Called when 'finish' is pressed /// </summary> return true; }, //#endregion // Event handlers //#region nextClick : function() { //TODO: add contents later } //#endregion }; KWB.BaseWizard.registerClass('KWB.BaseWizard', Sys.Component); //#endregion // WizardStepType enumeration //#region KWB.WSType = function(){}; KWB.WSType.prototype = { Server : 1, Client : 2, Service : 4 } KWB.WSType.registerEnum("KWB.WSType", false); //#endregion if(typeof(Sys) !== "undefined")Sys.Application.notifyScriptLoaded();
Now click Ctrl+M+E and you will see:
Veeery handy !
This is possible in VS because actually you can outline and collapse any selection you like manually, this work in most editors for VS.
If you are interested about that shortcuts see Text Manipulation Shortcut Keys, Visual C# Scheme . The shortcuts starting with Ctrl+M are the ones that manipulate test outlining and toggling.

I searched for regions and js in google and found your post
I am using ExtJs in VS2008 and had about 400 lines of js that was becoming difficult to manage
Andy
Hmm... I'm using VS 2008 and this doesn't seem to work for me. The macro runs but nothing ever gets collapsed...
Any ideas..??
Hi Jason,
I use this macro in VS 2008 and it works ok,
try to repeat steps described in the article again,
hope this helps.
Kirill
Thank you very much!!! This is a precious help for the ExtJS developers using VS2008.
Jason:
You must check the name of the module in the above code with the name of your new Macro. both names must match!
Nice, but you still have to manually type the comments //#region, //#endregion. I would really like to be able to outline large javascript files without typing the region comments.
Also, beware that you must have a empty line after the last //#endregion comment or the macro will produce an error stating 'Value does not fall within the expected range'.
seeker,
Yes it does make sence if you need to outline the region only once,
while using //#region comment directive you are stating the regions which are checked into source control with code itself,
it means any developer working with the code can download it from source server, press shortcut buttons in editor and that's it - the js file is outlined into logical groups.
Regards,
Kirill
Thanks Kirill.
I will use your method going forward. I had just inherited a 4300 line Javascript file and it sure would've been nice to click a button and wham, everything is outlined. At least the next guy to get this file can do that after I comment it.
Thanks again Kirill! I've been using you're comment method now for almost two weeks. It's a huge help.
Much obliged,
really useful and quick to set up.
Was about to give up on VS2008 and JS. Thank-you!
very helpful..
thanks..
If you look at the previous page you'll see my post about how to collapse the code without having to put in region lines. I've made some major changes to it since the original post (updates to have it use regular exp to find the funtion lines). If I get some time I might post the new code as it is much nicer than my original post
--lkspencer
Thank you very much for this!
This is fantastic, thanks for pointing it out.
Made my day!
Fantastic work dear!!
Thanks a lot.... It works in vs05 and vs08 both..
May I suggest you edit the Macro to enable the text on the #region line to be visible?
Change: -
' Outline region ...
selection.MoveToLineAndOffset(CalcLineNumber(text, CInt(startRegions.Pop())), 1)
To: -
' Outline region ...
selection.MoveToLineAndOffset(CalcLineNumber(text, CInt(startRegions.Pop())), text.Length)
This will enable collapsed sections to read: -
[+]//#region Region Description [...]
Which has greater readability than: -
[+][...]
A useful macro. Thanks for presenting it.
This is awesome! Thank you very much

Thx a lot for helping me to clean up my js-files ;).
Great work, greetings from Austria.
awesome! thanks!
Nie script.
I got the "Stack Empty" Error.
I noticed that I used to have
//#region automation part
//#endregion automation part
this macro didnot like anything after word region on the same line. I removed and standardised to
//#region
//#endregion
and works like a charm!
Thanks hips!
Anyone having a problem with this in VS2010?
Good work. I added this to collapse regions of HTML/ASPX pages too.
Sub OutlineRegions()
Const REGION_START As String = "//#region"
Const REGION_END As String = "//#endregion"
OutlineRegionsSub(REGION_START, REGION_END)
End Sub
Sub OutlineRegionsHTML()
Const REGION_START As String = "<!--#region-->"
Const REGION_END As String = "<!--#endregion-->"
OutlineRegionsSub(REGION_START, REGION_END)
End Sub
Sub OutlineRegionsSub(ByVal REGION_START As String, ByVal REGION_END As String)
...
I can't get this to work in VS2010 RC. The macro isn't erroring when I run it, but I'm getting no collapsing.
this is really cool stuff, really i liked very much. I implemented for VS2008
Nice!
Thanks, really great.
Kizmar, it works in VS2010 too.
Just don't forget to import the System.Collections namespace like:

Hello Kiril,
Thank you for this job.
It is very useful.
I wonder if it possible to remove this collapse.
when i want to change place of //#region .
Because, it is still there. Thank you.
Hi Eman,
What if you try to close the file and open / run macro again?
I think this should work.
(cannot test as dont have environment setup for this)

Great post
Can i ask if you have a script that can expand all regions
thanks :)
Works Great.. Really Cool Thanks
It is a pity that MS have removed macros from 2012 but not given us this functionality.
Apparently they removed it as it was not being widely used. So instead of leaving it and not updating it, they removed it entirely. Thank you Microsoft :p
Just found this for Visual Studio 2012:
/*#region RegionName*/
css goes here
/*#endregion*/
:)
If I do want use this on vs2012 to apply regions to any type file? It's possible?
I just made it work!!! Great job!!!

I language and get an abstract syntax tree. Anything that is prefixed with dollar sign is a language construct, anything not is a literal. As with most parsing tasks, I jump straight to fparsec.
namespace FPropEngine module Parser = open FParsec type Ast = | Bag of string list | Literals of string | ForLoop of string * Ast * Ast list let tokenPrefix = '$' let tagStart = pstring (string tokenPrefix) let token n = tagStart >>. pstring n |>> ignore let tagDelim = eof <|> spaces1 let endTag = token "end" let forTag = token "for" let languageSpecific = [attempt endTag; forTag] |> List.map (fun i -> i .>> tagDelim) let anyReservedToken = attempt (languageSpecific |> List.reduce (<|>)) let tokenable = many1Chars (satisfy isDigit <|> satisfy isLetter) let element = attempt (tokenable .>> pstring ".") <|> tokenable let nonTokens = many1Chars (satisfy (isNoneOf [tokenPrefix])) |>> Literals let bag = tagStart >>. many1 element |>> Bag let innerElement = notFollowedBy anyReservedToken >>. (nonTokens <|> bag) let tagFwd, tagImpl = createParserForwardedToRef() let forLoop = parse { do! spaces do! forTag do! spaces do! skipAnyOf "$" let! alias = tokenable do! spaces let! _ = pstring "in" do! spaces let! elements = bag do! spaces let! body = many tagFwd do! spaces do! endTag do! spaces return ForLoop (alias, elements, body) } tagImpl := attempt forLoop <|> innerElement let get str = match run (many tagFwd) str with | Success(r, _, _) -> r | Failure(r,_,_) -> failwith "nothing"
I’ve exposed only one language construct (a for loop), and anything else is just a basic string replace bag (which will already be deconstructed into its individual components, i.e.
$foo.bar will be
["foo";"bar"]).
Contexts
The next thing we need is a way to store a context, and to resolve a requested path from the context. Since I want to be able to add key value pairs to the context but have the values be different (sometimes they should be a string, other times they should be other context bags), we need to be able to handle that.
For example, lets say I make a context called “anton”. In this context I want to have key “isGreat” that resolves to “kropp”. That would end up being a leaf node in this context path. But how do I represent a path like “anton.shmanton.isGreat”. The key “shmanton” should resolve to a new context under the current context of “anton”. Also, in order to leverage for loops, we need some keys to resolve to multiple values. So now we have 3 types of results: a string, a string list, or another context. Given that, lets create a context class that can handle creating these contexts, as well as resolving a context path.
module Formatter = open Parser open System.Collections.Generic type Context () = let ctxs = new Dictionary<string, ContextType>() let runtime = new Dictionary<string, string>() member x.add (key, values) = ctxs.[key] <- List values member x.add (key, value) = ctxs.[key] <- Value value member x.add (key, ctx) = ctxs.[key] <- More ctx member x.runtimeAdd (key, value) = runtime.[key] <- value member x.runtimeRemove key = runtime.Remove key |> ignore member x.add (dict:Dictionary<string, string>) = for keys in dict do ctxs.[keys.Key] <- Value keys.Value member x.resolve list = match list with | [] -> None | h::t -> if runtime.ContainsKey h then Some [runtime.[h]] else if ctxs.ContainsKey h then ctxs.[h].resolve t else None and ContextType = | Value of string | List of string list | More of Context member x.resolve list = match x with | Value str -> Some [str] | List strs -> Some strs | More ctx -> ctx.resolve list
One thing that is tricky here:
ctxs.[h].resolve t doesn’t call the same
resolve function on the Context class. It actually calls the resolve function on the ContextType. This way each type can resolve itself. If you call resolve on a string, it’ll return itself (as a list). If you resolve on a list, it’ll return the list. But, if you call resolve on a context, it’ll proxy that request back to the Context class.
You may also be wondering what “runTimeAdd” and “runtimeRemove” are. Those will make sense when we actually create the language interpreter. It may be a little overkill to call this a “language” but it kind of is!
Applying the context to the AST
Now we need to interpret the syntax tree and apply the context bag to any context related tokens. If anybody read my previous posts about my language I wrote, this should all sound pretty similar (cause it is!)
module Runner = open Formatter open Parser let rec private eval (ctx : Context) = function | Bag list -> match ctx.resolve list with | Some item -> item | None -> [List.fold (fun acc i -> acc + "." + i) "$" list] | Literals l -> [l] | ForLoop (alias, bag, contents) -> [for value in (eval ctx bag) do ctx.runtimeAdd (alias, value) for elem in contents do yield! eval ctx elem ctx.runtimeRemove alias] let run ctx text = Parser.get text |> List.map (eval ctx) |> List.reduce List.append |> List.reduce (+)
What we have here is an eval function that acts as the main interpreter dispatch loop. It’s asked to evaluate the current token its given based on its current context.
If we have a string literal, we just return it (as a list, since I am creating a list of evaluated results).
If there is a bag (like
$anton.isgreat) then try and resolve the bag path from the context.
If there is a for loop we want to evaluate the result of the for predicate and bind its value to the alias. Then for each element we want to evaluate the contents of the for loop. This is where we need to create a runtime storage of the alias, so we can do later lookups in the context. You can see that each for loop adds its alias to the context and then removes it from the context afterwards. This would mimic a regular language where inner loops can access outer declared variables, but not vice versa.
Trying it out
Let’s give our templating engine a whirl:
let artists = new Context() let root = new Context() artists.add("nirvana", ["come as you are";"smells like teen spirit"]); root.add("artists", artists ); let templateText = "$for $song in $artists.nirvana The current song is $song! $for $secondTime in $artists.nirvana Oh lets just loop again for fun. First value: $song, second: $secondTime $end $end"
And the result is
> Runner.run root templateText;; val it : string = "The current song is come as you are! Oh lets just loop again for fun. First value: come as you are, second: come as you are Oh lets just loop again for fun. First value: come as you are, second: smells like teen spirit The current song is smells like teen spirit! Oh lets just loop again for fun. First value: smells like teen spirit, second: come as you are Oh lets just loop again for fun. First value: smells like teen spirit, second: smells like teen spirit "
Not too bad!

Divide an integer into groups with C#
October 28, 2016 3 Comments start integer.
The following function will perform just that:
public static IEnumerable<int> DistributeInteger(int total, int divider) { if (divider == 0) { yield return 0; } else { int rest = total % divider; double result = total / (double)divider; for (int i = 0; i < divider; i++) { if (rest-- > 0) yield return (int)Math.Ceiling(result); else yield return (int)Math.Floor(result); } } }
Call it as follows:
List<int> test = DistributeInteger(20, 3).ToList();
“test” will include 7,7,6 as expected.

Because in the current underspecified documentation iterator_range appears
to take any sequence denoted by an iterator range and turn it into a
container which can then be used in the algorithms which take ContainerT
arguments. This makes the algorithm interfaces look flexible enough that
iterator range interfaces (like the current STL) are unnecessary.
Take trim_left as an example. The template parameter is ContainerT, which
isn't further defined. From the name, it would be easy to assume the
requirements were very general, such as the "Container Requirements" table
65 in 23.1. It would be easy to jump to the conclusion that these
requirements could be met by iterator_range.
But by reading the code, we find that trim_left works by calling
ContainerT::erase. That means the actual requirement is tighter; the
container has to be mutable and must support erase. There are lots of
useful cases, including C arrays and the pseudo-container produced by
iterator_range, which don't meet that requirement.
Seen in that light, the trim_left style is more limited than the
traditional STL style which specifies ranges as a pair of iterators. The
library seems to acknowledge this by actually implementing trim_left and
other algorithms as wrappers around traditional STL style interfaces in
namespace detail.

The problem is that the proposed container-oriented interface won't handle
many common sequences, such a C arrays. It won't handle operations on a
sequence which is a portion of a longer sequence. The STL interface will
handle these cases. So no, I don't think "the STL interface is obsolete."

The issue isn't implementation, it is the lack of requirements on types
specified as template parameters, and the lack of preconditions, exceptions
thrown, postconditions, and other firm specifications for functions.
Without that fundamental documentation, it doesn't seem possible to
evaluate the proposal.

tgcrud 1.0.2
Genrate CRUD interface in TurboGears
tgcrud is an TurboGears command extension, which could generate a sqlobject/sqlalchemy backend editor/crud (create, read, update, delete) interface based on your Model with kid template. It could be plugged into any projects even if you don’t use kid template.
The generated codes are fully customizable. tgcrud heavily use form widgets and show you many TG 1.0 features in it’s controllers/templates.
Please refer to for detail
The command follow the TurboGears quickstart template style, you could easily add identity, form validation, paginate in your crud interface.
If you are a TG beginer, tgcrud help you create a general admin skeleton based on your model.
If you are an experienced TG developer, you could get it in minutes since it just done the basic procedure that every time you write a management interface of your model.(document shows how to customize 1-to-1, 1-to-many, many-to-many relationship with widgets. Or you could do it in your way)
- Takes advantage of TurboGears form widgets and validation. you’d hardly need to modify the HTML.
Install
The ‘tgcrud’ command extension is available in Python CheeseShop and TurboGears svn.
You can use setuptools to install tgcrud with following command:
$ easy_install tgcrud
or download the source code and install tgcrud manually.
Screencast
Yes, there’s a ‘Make a Book Site with TurboGears’ screencast with tgcrud.
If you are an experienced TG developer, you could skip to the third.
If you are new to TG, you may want to watch all of them to get familiar with TurboGears.
-
Quickstart TurboGears project, 6.5MB
-
Design model with toolbox utilities, 7.7MB
-
tgcrud, the TG’s scaffold, 5.2 MB
With tgcrud you could easily generate a Rails scaffold style CRUD interface. The difference is all code in tgcrud is implicit, which leads to more easy customization.
Usage
-
Define your model in model.py
-
Once you’ve defined your model, you could use “tg-admin crud” command to generate the crud pack. The syntax is:$ tg-admin crud [model class name] [package name]
e.x if the model name is BookMark, and the package name we want is BookMarkController, the command is:$ tg-admin crud BookMark BookMarkController
Then the ‘admin’ package is generated.
You just need take several minutes to customize the formfield to have a proper crud interface.
..note:: you could estimate the result by passing “–dry-run” to the command, such as:$ tg-admin crud BookMark BookMarkController --dry-run With this argument the command will not effect your physical directories.
-
Import the package to your controllers.py with a line:
from BookMarkController import BookMarkController
and add a branch on your Root():foo = BookMarkController()
-
Customize the form filed in admin/controllers.py
-
Open the to use the customizable interface.
Please check for detail instructions.

In October, Shuangliang Petrochemical will shut down its 400,000 tonne/year SM unit for a turnaround, said a company source.
Meanwhile, production of aniline - another downstream sector for benzene - is quite low, with plants running at around 40-50% of capacity, market sources said.

But prices in the domestic Chinese market may get a boost towards the end of the year, given a host of downstream plants due for start-up next year that will increase demand for benzene, industry sources said.
Chongqing Fuxiang Petrochemical expects to start production at its 200,000 tonne/year adipic acid unit in the first quarter of next year, while Shanxi Yanchang Petroleum will commence operations at its Shanxi-based 140,000 tonne/year SM unit at the same period.
From the caprolactam sector, demand for benzene is also expected to be boosted by a new 200,000 tonne/year caprolactam plant of Zhejiang Hengyi Petrochemical that is due to start up in the first quarter of 2012.
Guangdong Kingboard will also likely raise its benzene consumption as the capacity of its Yizheng-based 120,000 tonne/year phenol facility will be increased by 80,000 tonnes/year in 2012.

green 0.9.9 Test Structure Tutorial
----------------------------
This tutorial *does* cover:
- External structure of your project (directory and file layout)
- Skeleton of a real test module
- How to import stuff from from your project into your test module
- Gotchas about naming...everything.
- Where to run green from and what the output could look like.
This tutorial *does not* cover:
-.
proj
├── __init__.py
├── foo.py
├── subpkg
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── bar.py
│ └── test # test subdirectory in every sub-package
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── test_bar.py
└── test
├── __init__.py
└── test_foo.py
The other option is to start mirroring your subpackage layout from within a single test directory.
proj
├── __init__.py
├── foo.py
├── subpkg
│ ├── __init__.py
│ ├── bar.py
└── test
├── __init__.py
├── subpkg # mirror sub-package layout inside test dir
│ ├── __init__.py
│ └── test_bar.py
└── test_foo.py
### Skeleton of Test Module ###
Assume `foo.py` contains the following contents:
```python
def answer():
return 42
class School():
def food(self):
return 'awful'
def age(self):
return 300
```
Here's a possible version of `test_foo.py` you could have.
```python
# Import stuff you need for the unit tests themselves to work
import unittest
# Import stuff that you want to test. Don't import extra stuff if you don't
# have to.
from proj.foo import answer, School
# If you need the whole module, you can do this:
# from proj import foo
#
# Here's another reasonable way to import the whole module:
# import proj.foo as foo
#
# In either case, you would obviously need to access objects like this:
# foo.answer()
# foo.School()
# Then write your tests
class TestAnswer(unittest.TestCase):
def test_type(self):
"answer() returns an integer"
self.assertEqual(type(answer()), int)
def test_expected(self):
"answer() returns 42"
self.assertEqual(answer(), 42)
class TestSchool(unittest.TestCase):
def test_food(self):
school = School()
self.assertEqual(school.food(), 'awful')
def test_age(self):
school = School()
self.assertEqual(school.age(), 300)

Section 1: General Interpedia Questions
======================================================================
Subject: 1.1 Who originated the idea of the Interpedia, where did the
name come from, and what is a little of its history?
According to Michael Hart the idea for a net encyclopedia has been around
nearly as long as the net, at least back to 1969-71. This recent burst
of activity is the result of a post to several newsgroups by Rick Gates
with his idea to write a new encyclopedia, place it in the public-domain,
and make it available over the Internet. Among the first responses to
Rick's message was one by Gord Nickerson who suggested that this
Internet Encyclopedia be fully hypertexted using a markup language such
as html, and one by Mike Salmon in which he made the provocative comment:
> I think it's a brilliant idea, the sort that ends up as *being* the net.
This comment was picked up on by Robert Neville, who proposed links to
ongoing discussions including newsgroups and Internet Relay Chat (IRC),
and in a joint post with Doug Wilson emphasized the importance of default
articles to make the encyclopedia useful as a quick reference. The
question of how to pick default articles was hotly debated until Erik
Seielstad resolved the problem by suggesting the seal-of-approval
mechanism.
Perhaps the most important factors in making the Interpedia, as
R L Samuell called it, into an active project were the establishment of
the interpedia mailing list by Doug Luce, and the creation of a
gopher-accessible archive for this mailing list by R L Samuell. Gary
Kline suggested the use of an early encyclopaedia as a starting place
for the Interpedia and Robert Carter suggest the Encyclopaedia
Britannica, 11th edition. Shortly thereafter the volume of mail forced
the mailing list to adopt the digest format, and Doug Luce provided
archives of the digest at. More recently, specialized
sublists for technical, editorial, and volunteer coordination have been
set up by Jeff Foust.
(Doug Wilson and Alan Reynard)
======================================================================
Subject: 1.2 What is the Interpedia?
Early in the discussion Doug Wilson wrote "So far, the Interpedia is an
idea. There is a mailing list to discuss it, and lots has been written
about it, we don't have any articles or software to distribute yet.
The term Interpedia is ambiguous -- to some it means the text, to some
the software, and to others what we will have when we have both."
To add to these thoughts it can be said that the Interpedia will be a
reference source for people who have connectivity to the internet. It
will encompass, at the least, articles submitted by individuals, and
articles gleaned from non-copyrighted material. It will have mechanisms
for submission, browsing, and authentication of articles. It is,
currently, a completely volunteer project with no source of funding
except for the contributions of the volunteers and their respective
institutions. It also has no governing structure except for a group of
people who have volunteered to do specific tasks or who have made major
contributions to the discussion (see list, below). Everyone is encouraged
to make a contribution, small or large.
The Interpedia is also envisioned to eventually be much more than a
simple reference source as current paper (or even CD-ROM) encyclopedias
are now. Amongst other things, the browsers will be able to provide
support for graphics, motion video, and sound as well as plain text,
depending on the type of equipment available to the person who is
accessing the Interpedia. At the very least, the text will be in
hypertext form so that the user will be able to navigate easily from one
document to another. Navigation will also be available for other objects
such as graphics.
======================================================================
Subject: 1.3 Where can I communicate with people working on the project
and where can I get information about the Interpedia?
NEWSGROUP
Hopefully, there will soon be a newsgroup for the Interpedia Project with
the name, comp.infosystems.interpedia. Voting will be in January.
Everyone interested in the Interpedia Project is encouraged to vote YES.
Voting information will be sent to the various mailing lists.

ARCHIVES OF INTER...@TELERAMA.LM.COM
Archives of the digests are available by anonymous ftp from:<whatever>
Note that some of the archives are in compressed format and appear
as files with the extension .gz. To decompress these files get
get gzip.exe. To do this find gzip124.zip at and unzip it.
At the dos prompt type 'gzip -h' for help. The syntax for use is
> gzip -d <filename.ext> where the ext can be .g or .gz.
POSTINGS TO INTER...@TELERAMA.LM.COM
Individual postings to the list including the early ones that don't
appear in the digests are available by gopher from:
CIS Department, University of Alabama at Birmingham.
The Gopher Bookmark is:
NAME = The Interpedia Project
HOST = twinbrook.cis.uab.edu
PORT = 70
PATH = interped.70
TYPE = 1
The postings can also be viewed with a www browser:
URL is gopher://twinbrook.cis.uab.edu:70/1/interped.70
======================================================================
Subject: 1.4 Where can additional information be found about subjects
that relate to the Interpedia?
There are several newsgroups that relate to the project in various
ways. They are:
comp.infosystems.gopher
comp.infosystems.wais
comp.infosystems.www
comp.text.sgml
alt.hypertext
Those interested in the web (www, w3) should acquire a browser and
explore it. Unfortunately, most of the documentation about the web
is on the web. Catch-22.
======================================================================
Section 2: Accessing the Interpedia
======================================================================
Subject: 2.1 How will people access the Interpedia?
Because it has not been settled what form/format the Interpedia will
assume, there is no definitive information about this. There is
discussion about accessing it in a variety of ways including ftp,
gopher, wais, and www.
There is also discussion of producing new, more advanced software that
will be directed to accessing the Interpedia, but will presumably be
useful in accessing other infosystems, as well.
The type of software currently available for accessing the various
internet infosystems is termed a browser (or client). These are
explained elsewhere. It should be emphasized that there is the
that browsers for the Interpedia will have capabilities that go
beyond current browsers. However, to get a feel for what a browser
will do you can access one or more of the currently available browsers.
======================================================================
Subject: 2.2 What are browsers?.
In other terms, browsers are software that act as 'clients' and enable
you to interact with 'servers', where the servers are machines (hosts)
that hold the information. For each client there has to be a matching
server (e.g., gopher clients access gopher servers). This distinction
is now being blurred because some clients (e.g., www clients) can
access other servers (gopher and wais) in addition to accessing www
servers.
The Interpedia is not yet at a point where browsing is applicable.
However, if you want to try a browser, you can do it in two ways.
One is to log onto (telnet) to a host that runs a public-access
browser. The other is to acquire a browser that you can use from your
local machine. These are available for PCs, Macs, Amigas, NeXTs, etc.,
and can be acquired by FTP from a number of sites. There are lists of
sites elsewhere in the FAQ.
======================================================================
Subject: 2.3 What is WWW and where can I get a client?
WWW FAQ available:
rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/comp.infosystems.www/WWW_(World_Wide_Web)_FAQ
WWW (World Wide Web) consists of hypertext documents and the links
between the documents. WWW documents can include images and sound.
There is a large number of these documents available and the number is
growing rapidly. The documents are hosted on WWW servers and can be
accessed by using WWW browsers (clients). The type of information you
can retrieve depends on the type of client you use. If you have only a
line oriented client, you can retrieve only ascii text. If you have a
more functional client you can get sound and graphics.
A list of WWW clients is available in the WWW FAQ (referenced above).
You can also find lists of clients (and servers) by accessing the
web. Again, they are listed in the FAQ. A few of these are:
info.cern.ch login: none needed
ujanaix.cc.ukans.edu login: www login: www
======================================================================
Subject: 2.4 What is gopher and where can I get a client?
gopher FAQ available:
rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/comp.infosystems.gopher/G_(c.i.g)_F_A_Q_(F)
Gopher is software that acts as server and client. The server holds
information, located by traversing a menu structure. Often a menu
item is an internet address that points to another gopher server.
A client always logs onto a server and from there can move (burrow)
from server to server searching for information. The person who sets
up the client specifies which gopher server the client logs onto to
start the session.
Gopher clients can retrieve documents by ftp as well as retrieving
them just for viewing. Some clients can also do keyword searches.
You can acquire a gopher client or you can access gopher by logging
onto a host at many educational and government institutions.
Gopher clients (and servers) are available by ftp from
boombox.micro.umn.edu:/pub/gopher there are subdirectories that
contain gopher clients for a number of operating systems.
Additional gopher clients can be obtained from various sites. Many
of these are listed in the gopher FAQ. You can find others by
posting messages to comp.infosystems.gopher.
======================================================================
Subject: 2.5 What is WAIS and where can I get a client?
WAIS FAQ available from:
rtfm.mit.edu:/pub/usenet/comp.infosystems.wais/c.i.w_F_a_Q_[F]_(w_a)
WAIS (Wide Area Information Servers) is a networked information
retrieval system. Clients are able to retrieve documents using keywords.
The search returns a list of documents, ranked according to the
frequency of occurrence of the keyword(s) used in the search.
The client can retrieve text or multimedia documents stored on the
server.
There is a list of WAIS clients in the comp.infosystems.wais FAQ.
You can access a WAIS client by telnetting to sunsite.unc.edu. There
is a menu that guides your logging on.
======================================================================
Subject: 2.6 Why bother with new software?..
(Doug Wilson)
======================================================================
Subject 2.7 What is the current state of development of
Interpedia-specific software?
Doug Wilson <dwi...@crc.sd68.nanaimo.bc.ca> writes:
I am working on prototype software for the Interpedia, and
plan a series of prototypes, beginning with one which will run only
on a single machine and access files local to that machine.
A preliminary set of design notes for that software was published
earlier on the mailing list, and can be obtained from me by e-mail.
Updates to requirements and design documentation will be released as
text files accessible with the first prototype, which will be used
to support its own development. Coding is underway, and a simple
version should be released in early January, 1994. Source code will
be included as files accessible by the prototype, and linked to their
corresponding items of documentation.

Jared Rhine <Jared...@hmc.edu> writes:
I am working primarily in the area of creating HTTP gateways to the
Interpedia. Please send comments to me at the above address.
There are many parts to this projects including:
1. An indexing server which can return a list of documents based
upon the results of various parameters submitted via an HTML
Form, including keywords, title, etc. The amount of
information to be returned will also be selectable on this form.
Support for seals-of-approvals is planned, but unimplemented as of
yet.
2. An Interpedia gateway is being prototyped which will return the
document requested, but with added markup to include information
contained in the index regarding the document, such as author,
related documents, relevance feedback forms, etc.
3. In order to unify the namespace of the Interpedia, documents in
the above index will be returned as URNs, which uniquely identify
a document, but give no indication of where to locate the resource.
Thus a URN->URL mapper is being prototyped which will allow
documents returned from searches to be located as URLs, which may
be accessed via any Web client.
In combination, these gateways will allow for full access to many of
the key features of the Interpedia. An end-user will be able to
connect to a Web server and be presented with a welcome page for the
Interpedia. A HTML Form can be submitted to begin a search. The
parameters of this form will be fed into the indexing gateway which
will return a HTML document containing information about the documents
hit by the search, restricted to only those documents matching the
requested seal-of-approvals. The amount of information returned for
each document will be selectable based on the parameters submitted in
the search form. Additionally, further information about a specific
article will be available without retrieving the document in full by
selecting a separate link. At this point, relevance feedback can be
added to the search, and the search resubmitted.
At some point in the future, the links to retrieve a document will
actually be links to the URN->URL mapper, but that will be one of the
last prototypes to be examined. In the preliminary stages, the link
will be a selector string for the server which instructs it to return
the document. The document will not be returned directly; instead, it
will be first marked up with relational operators so that the user can
perform those actions from within the document, including relevance
feedback. Documents which include net-accessible authors (who give
their permission) will include links which will allow viewers to
submit comments to the author via a HTML Form.
The prototyping language will be Perl, linked as packages to the
Plexus HTTP server. Access to the prototypes will be available via
the Web, although the experimental nature of these prototypes may
result in sporadic reliability. Comments about the prototypes will
be able to be submitted via HTML forms.
Prototypes will likely be available in early January, although the
amount of functionality to be included by that point is as yet
undetermined.

Bob Socrates McWhirter <mcw...@mail.auburn.edu> writes:
I plan to develop machine-specific clients to access the information
in the Interpedia. Initially, there will be a Mac client.
Once the powers that be decide how the info will be available over the
net (how to find it, which port, etc), I'll be working on two programs.
1) A client for the Mac running TCP/IP software with direct connection
to the net. (Such as Umin's TurboGopher mac client). This would
support the familiar look-and-feel of the Mac world.
2) A pseudo-client to run at the Unix prompt, which, when initiated
would activate an 'interpedia mode' in a special term program, which
would then
appear to operate as #1 above. This would be a two-program package.
First, the Unix middle-man which would take the presumably
raw data from the interpedia, and feed it to the modem port, only
slightly altered. The second would be a special Mac term-program
which would be a standard vt100 (or whatever) emulator until kicked
into interpedia mode (such as how auto-zmodem downloads get kicked
in). Once in Interpedia-mode, it would translate the data from the
unix middle-man to provide the same mac look-and-feel as in #1 above.
Basically, this allows a 'nice' interface for those macs without a
direct IP connection, SLIP, or PPP. We are assuming that these users
will have a valid account on a Unix machine.

My ideas for the software aren't particularly new or exciting,
especially since I haven't had the time to do much more than read up
on what I think I need to know and start roughing out some code. I'm
mostly writing it up to make myself learn more about HTML and remember
my perl. Yes, I'm using WWW software as my client - it's there and
works well, and I don't have to write it, so I get something useful
up and running faster. If I run into something that I *can't* do in
HTML (I doubt it, but it's possible), I have the option of modifying
the client or writing my own, but I won't have to do that till I know
if my approach works well.
I'll probably implement something like the 3-column approach to sorting
keywords described earlier in the mailing list, once I'm sure that the
server that I'm writing works.

======================================================================
Section 3: Article submission and editing
======================================================================
Subject 3.1 How can I submit an article to the Interpedia?
There is an ftp site that is available, but details have not been
worked out. Temporarily, questions about submissions should be sent
to Doug Wilson <dwi...@crc.sd68.nanaimo.bc.ca>.
======================================================================
Subject 3.2 In what form will articles be acceptable?
The format(s) of Interpedia article has not yet been decided. However,
it is probably safe to assume that one form will be plain ascii text.
Craig Richmond has made the suggestion (digest v1n20) that there be
multiple formats, each identified by a number as follows:
0 : unformatted english 7 bit ascii text
1 : formatted english 7 bit ascii text (setext)
2 : formatted english 7 bit ascii text (RTF)
3 : unformatted english unicode text
4 : formatted english unicode text (who knows)
5 : formatted text with basic hypertext links
6 : formatted text with simple hypertext links
7 : bells and whistles multimedia extensions and hypertext
One of the current hot items is HTML. To see more about HTML point
your WWW browser to either:
or
======================================================================
Subject: 3.3 Why bother with new text, why not just use existing
material from various online sources?
There is so much material available online that it may indeed
be theoretically possible to put together an encyclopedia from
what is already out there. But finding and linking in enough
text would be such a formidable problem that it is probably
easier to arrange for new articles to be written. Besides,
people WANT to write new articles! Experts in a field are
rarely happy with any existing piece of text, and there will be
a few who would rather contribute new material than settle for
something out-of-date or inaccurate. But, existing material
that people know about could be used as a starting point.
(Doug Wilson)
======================================================================
Subject: 3.4 Who will pick the articles?
All submitted articles could be made available, as long as some host
site somewhere is willing to make space for them. There is no need
to accept or reject articles. But there is a need to provide defaults
and seals-of-approval to guide readers and make quick reference to
authoritative articles possible.
(Doug Wilson)
======================================================================
Subject: 3.5 What will be the process of editing articles and what will
be the responsibilities of the editors?
Robert Neville <rnev...@crc.sd68.nanaimo.bc.ca> has volunteered to
coordinate the editorial efforts. He has contributed all of
editorial section (subject 3.5.x) of this FAQ.
======================================================================
Subject: 3.5.1 Who can be an editor on the Interpedia Project?
Anyone. Just as articles and other data can be submitted by anyone in
Cyberspace, anyone can choose to act as an editor. Of course, many
writers will choose to be their own Interpedia editor, if they feel
comfortable with that role.
To be effective, editors will have to be thoroughly conversant with
the Interpedia, its nature and its requirements. Writers who are
not will approach editors and ask for their assistance.
======================================================================
Subject: 3.5.2 What will their responsibilities be to the Project?
The responsibilities of editors will be to act in good faith in the
advancement of the Interpedia, to communicate regularly with other
editors and with techies as needed and, above all, to try to add the
highest quality material possible to the Interpedia.
======================================================================
Subject: 3.5.3 How will editors communicate with one another?
Editors will be expected to be members of a least one mailing list or
associated newsgroup and to communicate regularly about what projects
they are working on and what progress they are making. At present the
appropriate list is ip-...@jg.cso.uicu.edu as described elsewhere
in this FAQ.
We will certainly need the current proposed newsgroup to be divided,
probably as soon as it exists, into two, namely:
comp.infosystems.interpedia.tech
comp.infosystems.interpedia.edit
Further divisions will be necessary as things progress. We will
doubtless have to arrange for moderators to make periodic reports
to the main newsgroups and lists, so that everyone can have a least
an overview of this huge endeavour.
Eventually, of course, newsgroups will themselves be part of the
Interpedia and the Interpedia project itself will be the first
beneficiary of improved information structures.
======================================================================
Subject: 3.5.4 How often and how much will editors work on the
Interpedia?
As much or as little as they wish. Some people may wish to join the
project solely to improve the Interpedia in an area of special interest
to them. Others will want to be general editors, working in a wide
variety of areas, for a long time.
======================================================================
Subject: 3.5.5 Will all this work be voluntary?
At first, yes. And for many it will always be so. But it would seem
likely that individuals who choose to spend large amounts of
productive time on this project will eventually find themselves being
paid for it. Many people now are paid for Internet work that was
volunteer not so long ago.
======================================================================
Subject: 3.5.6 What if more than one editor works in the same area?
No problem. It is the very nature of the Interpedia to contain
competing resources. If someone feels that the article on the recorder,
facilitated by me, is inadequate, they have many avenues. They can
suggest changes to me or the author, they can produce their own, they
can solicit seals of disapproval, if they think that the article is
in some sense actually damaging.
======================================================================
Subject: 3.5.7 What would an editor's work consist of?
The process outlined above gives a good starting idea. Editors will
either start with definite ideas on articles, or will use a To Do list,
as discussed earlier on this list, to find areas that need work.
What they may do will include:
-in the early stages especially, promoting explaining the
Interpedia to potential authors and approval grantors. At
first organizations like the American Recorder Society will
have to be persuaded of the value of assigning members to
the task of evaluating articles. But once the Interpedia
is well established this will be unneeded.
-searching through existing Internet resources for
possible hotkey links to existing material (excellent
work for Rick Gate's Internet Hunt aficionados!)
-establishing and operating MUDs or other resources to
complement existing resources
-soliciting material to fill needs indicated in the To Do list
-working on the To Do list itself, to identify needs
-soliciting seals of approval to support articles
-soliciting seals of disapproval for articles of low quality
-helping writers present material in a format appropriate to
the Interpedia
-identify needs. for example, I might see a need for a
simplified version of some article suitable for school
children. I might approach the authors and request such
a version and arrange for suitable seals of approval
-etc. etc. The reader is invited to add more ...

Subject: 3.5.8 When can editors start work on the Interpedia?
Now. See elsewhere in this FAQ for information on the acceptable form
of articles and what to do with them. Even though software is not
ready, it is important that we start to collect material as soon as
possible.
It is worth noting that nothing will encourage software people to work
more than a growing base of Interpedia material. Let's give them
something to chew on!
======================================================================
Section 4: Classification, Seals, Copyright, etc
======================================================================
Subject: 4.1 One of the principle topics is classification. What is the
current status of proposed classification schemes?
Christopher Mullin has volunteered to coordinate the classification
efforts. He writes:
The group I'm coordinating feels that the use of existing library
classification systems and subject heading lists will give better
access to articles than will the use of uncontrolled keywords.
Specifically, we expect to assign several Library of Congress Subject
Headings and several classification numbers (either Universal Decimal
Classification or Dewey Decimal Classification -- not sure yet) to
each article.
We will attempt to get copies of the chosen systems made available on
the internet, with the expectation that others will develop search
engines to make these systems accessible to Interpedia searchers.
Most of us have had some library cataloging experience, but welcome
help from anyone. Contact me (mul...@selway.umt.edu) for further
information.
======================================================================
Subject: 4.2 What are Seals of Approval?
A seal-of-approval is data provided by a person or persons which
indicates that some article is good. (Seals of disapproval have
also been proposed.) Seals-of-approval)
======================================================================
Subject: 4.3 What is a default, and why do we need defaults?
A default is a standard choice that you can select in some easy
way, such as by hitting the return/enter key or the spacebar key.
There may be hundreds of articles available on some controversial
topic, but we don't want to force people to wade through all those
possibilities, so we must provide a default article that the user
has quick and easy access to. But that doesn't mean that there is
one default for everybody. Defaults can be dynamically established
according to the user's preset preferences. The term default is
somewhat ambiguous and has also been used for a hypothetical
standard article that one might get if one hadn't set any
preferences at all -- but there are strong arguments against having
any such standard, and from a technical point of view it is
probably not necessary. A default is actually a prediction of
what a person is likely to want, or an estimation of what they
would want if they had all the information they need to make
a choice, and it is always possible to predict or estimate.
(Doug Wilson)
======================================================================
Subject: 4.4 What are the copyright issues?
There appears to be no problem with inclusion of non-copyrighted
material (such as the Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed) in the
Interpedia.
However, Compton Encyclopedia chose Comdex to announce that it had
been granted a patent on multimedia programs that store and retrieve
text, graphics, sound, and animation. The patent (pn US5241671)
describes a "multimedia search system using a plurality of entry
means which indicated interrelatedness of information". A copy has
been placed at.
As could be expected this generated much heat, but not much light
in a number of newsgroups. It was subsequently reported that other
patents have been taken out including one by Optical Data Corp
entitled "Interactive Method for the Effective Conveyance of
Information in the Form of Visual Images".
A posting to comp.text.sgml reported that the U. S. Patent Office will
reexamine its patent to Compton. The final disposition will likely
be taken care of in the courts.
Mahesh S. Koppula <mkop...@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu> reports in
digest V2 #3 that files listing titles to 2700 software patents
issued in 1992-93 have been posted to misc.legal.computing and
other usenet groups.
It may be of interest that a large, comprehensive faq, Frequently
Asked Questions about Copyright (6 parts) is posted to
misc.legal.computing and is available by ftp from rtfm.mit.edu in the
/pub/usenet/news.answers/Copyright-FAQ directory.
======================================================================
Subject: 4.5 How will people be protected from having to view unwanted
materials?
People can use seals-of-approval and defaults to limit the amount
of material they see. This might be used to protect children from
material that is not appropriate for them to see.
======================================================================
Section 5: Other projects, Volunteers, Glossary
======================================================================
Subject: 5.1 What other projects are there that parallel or complement
the Interpedia Project?
A number of projects either parallel the Interpedia or are related
to it in some way. Some of these are:

JHSI is a project to provide a hierarchical index to sources
available on the Internet. As Interpedia articles appear, we
intend to index them. Our classification scheme is based upon
a combination of the hierarchical classification scheme from the
Encyclopedia Brittanica's Propedia and various domain specific
classfication schemes, such as the ACM Computing Reviews
Classification Scheme. JHSI is a project of ACM Special Interest
Group on Networking at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign. This information was provided by Joel Jones

Section 6: The EB11 Project
======================================================================
Subject: 6.1 Is there an EB11 mailing list?
At the top of the FAQ are listed the various mailing lists that are
directly concerned with the Interpedia project. People with
interest in the use of EB11 in conjunction with the Interpedia should
sign up for this list. The list is moderated by Gary D. Kline and he
has provided the content for this section (6.x) of the FAQ.
======================================================================
Subject: 6.2 What is the history of the EB11 project?
The EB11 discussion began in late October when an early posting
to the Interpedia mailing list from Gary Kline suggested that we not
begin from scratch, but use an early (public domain) encyclopedia.
Robert Carter (car...@andromeda.rutgers.edu) responded at once
and suggested the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Ed, because of
its exceptional scholarship.
Later, it was learned that Michael Hart and Project Gutenberg are
planning to put the EB11 on-line. Doug Wilson contacted Michael Hart
and the projects began to be discussed extensively on the interpedia
mailing list.
The EB11 mailing list exists currently for those interested in the
Interpedia, but who may wish to concentrate primarily in this
aspect of the project. This, the EB11 list may be considered a
subset or sub-group of the larger working group.
======================================================================
Subject: 6.3 Why use the EB11?
The EB11 is an obvious treasure and resource as a historical document.
There are certainly hundreds of articles that were and still are true,
valid, and can be used with little or no changes in the Interpedia.
This has stirred some controversy. Some want to use EB11 as-is; by
itself. Others like the core approach.
======================================================================
Subject: 6.4 How can we get the EB11 on line and what format should
be used?
However we use the work, questions remain about which format to use
to get it online: ASCII, PostScript, some sort of graphics file
(e.g.: a gif file). The EB11 is more than ASCII text.
Another issue involves the means to get the work online. Do we type it
in by hand? Use some OCR technology? Scan it in as a graphics file
and work on the character recognition later? What about non-Latin
characters? mathematical equations? illustrations? photographs?
typefaces?
These issues are currently being discussed.

Do people try things before they post them? I am accustomed to, when
someone purportedly posts a gopher bookmark or link entry, clipping it with
my mouse. This "link" or "bookmark" will not work with the UNIX server from
UMN, accessing with the curses client from UMN. It is worse than useless to
publish information that is "nearly" correct. This should be fixed. There
are three errors:
1) Don't use leading spaces.
2) Don't put spaces around the '='.
3) Don't capitalize NAME, etc.

Thank you, Professor Ellis.
I appreciate the information. I will inform the author of the FAQ.
I do not, however, appreciate your attitude. Where did you get the idea
that I am responsible for your convenience?
There are many different kinds of systems in the world. As it happens,
both my server and client run in an OS/2 environment, not UNIX. I claim
no responsibility for the inadequacy of UNIX bookmark parsers-- my REXX
parser is somewhat more tolerant. But, in my opinion, a sensitivity to
leading spaces, framing spaces, and capitalization reflects a general
design deficiency in such parsing software.
As far as UMN, they are the originators of the GOPHER protocol, not the
arbiters of all customs appertaining thereto.
Finally, as this is an "error" for which it is clear I am responsible
I do not understand why you did not simply e-mail me your remarks
instead of advertising these "errors" publicly. In the absence of an
apology, I will accept that it was an inadvertent breach of proper
netiquette on your part, which therefore is the reason for this,
my public reply.
Sincerely,

I live and work in a windowsless shack in the middle of a desert in the Middle East. Opening the door in the middle of a sandstorm is not advisable.
So I built a little LCD display that tells me the current weather conditions outside since I have no windows to look out of.
All those U.S. DoD budget cuts didn't leave us with enough taxpayer money to pay for windows.
In other words, prison cells have better natural lighting.
And since I'm a lazy, lazy man I'd prefer to just be able to look at something to get the data I need and not have to go banging around on a web browser or installing a full-blown $$$ weather station.
Arduinos are perfect devices for lazy, banned people such as myself.
Every two minutes it pulls down an RSS feed, parses it for current Heat Index, Wind DIrection, Wind Speed, Surface Visibility, and Current Conditions.
It then abbreviates and displays that data on an Adafruit 16x2 RGBLCD shield, however just about any LCD can be used with some minor code changes.
Eventually this will be connecting via an Xbee-style WiFly module, but for now it works fine on the Arduino Ethernet or Ethernet Shield.
I chose RSSWEATHER.COM because it has ICAO airport weather data. That means just about any airport on the planet, including small local airfields to get really local weather data...it's tracking stations that not even Weather Underground or Google's hidden weather API track.
In the "GET HTTP/1.0" string around line 88 in the code below, just substitute your own 4-digit airport code in place of KQWM.
Forgive the messy, unoptimized code - I'm not a programmer and have never written code before, but I've read a lot of it.
I also have zero formal training or education in electronics or anything past high school, really. I've just been working with computers and strange technical stuff since I was 7 years old.
That this works at all is actually pretty amazing in itself, well to me at least.
Eventually hoping to utilize some of the shield's buttons to change up the display to show more data.

Since:
BlackBerry 10.0.0
Description:
The iofunc_attr_t structure describes the attributes of the device that's associated with a resource manager. The members include the following:
- mount
- A pointer a structure information about the mountpoint. By default, this structure is of type iofunc_mount_t, but you can specify your own structure by changing the IOFUNC_MOUNT_T manifest.
- flags
- Flags that your resource manager can set to indicate the state of the device. This member is a combination of the following flags:
- IOFUNC_ATTR_ATIME
- The access time is no longer valid. Typically set on a read from the resource.
- IOFUNC_ATTR_CTIME
- The change of status time is no longer valid. Typically set on a file info change.
- IOFUNC_ATTR_DIRTY_NLINK
- The number of links has changed.
- IOFUNC_ATTR_DIRTY_MODE
- The mode has changed.
- IOFUNC_ATTR_DIRTY_OWNER
- The uid or the gid has changed.
- IOFUNC_ATTR_DIRTY_RDEV
- The rdev member has changed, e.g. mknod().
- IOFUNC_ATTR_DIRTY_SIZE
- The size has changed.
- IOFUNC_ATTR_DIRTY_TIME
- One or more of mtime, atime, or ctime has changed.
- IOFUNC_ATTR_MTIME
- The modification time is no longer valid. Typically set on a write to the resource.
In addition to the above, your resource manager can use in any way the bits in the range defined by IOFUNC_ATTR_PRIVATE (see <sys/iofunc.h>).
- lock_tid
- The ID of the thread that has locked the attributes. To support multiple threads in your resource manager, you'll need to lock the attribute structure so that only one thread at a time is allowed to change it.
The resource manager layer automatically locks the attribute (using iofunc_attr_lock()) for you when certain handler functions are called (i.e. IO_*).
- lock_count
- The number of times the thread has locked the attribute structure. You can lock the attributes by calling iofunc_attr_lock() or iofunc_attr_trylock(); unlock them by calling iofunc_attr_unlock()
A thread must unlock the attributes as many times as it locked them.
- count
- The number of OCBs using this attribute in any manner. When this count is zero, no one is using this attribute.
- rcount
- The number of OCBs using this attribute for reading.
- wcount
- The number of OCBs using this attribute for writing.
- rlocks
- The number of read locks currently registered on the attribute.
- wlocks
- The number of write locks currently registered on the attribute.
- mmap_list and lock_list
- To manage their particular functionality on the resource, the mmap_list member is used by iofunc_mmap() and iofunc_mmap_default(); the lock_list member is used by iofunc_lock_default(). Generally, you shouldn't need to modify or examine these members.
- list
- Reserved for future use.
- list_size
- Size of reserved area; reserved for future use.
- nbytes
- The number of bytes in the resource; your resource manager can change this value.
For a file, this would contain the file's size. For special devices (e.g. /dev/null) that don't support lseek() or have a radically different interpretation for lseek(), this field isn't used (because you wouldn't use any of the helper functions, but would supply your own instead.) In these cases, we recommend that you set this field to zero, unless there's a meaningful interpretation that you care to put to it.
- inode
- This is a mountpoint-specific inode that must be unique per mountpoint. You can specify your own value, or 0 to have the Process manager fill it in for you. For filesystem type of applications, this may correspond to some on-disk structure. In any case, the interpretation of this field is up to you.
- uid and gid
- The user ID and group ID of the owner of this resource. These fields are updated automatically by the chown() helper functions (e.g. iofunc_chown_default()) and are referenced in conjunction with the mode member for access-granting purposes by the open() help functions (e.g. iofunc_open_default()).
- mtime, atime, and ctime
- POSIX time members:
- mtime — modification time (write() updates this).
- atime — access time (read() updates this).
- ctime — change of status time (write(), chmod() and chown() update this).
One or more of the three time members may be invalidated as a result of calling an iofunc-layer function. To see if a time member is invalid, check the flags member. This is to avoid having each and every I/O message handler go to the kernel and request the current time of day, just to fill in the attribute structure's time member(s).
To fill the members with the correct time, call iofunc_time_update().
- mode
- The resource's mode (e.g. type, permissions). Valid modes may be selected from the S_* series of constants in <sys/stat.h>; see " Access permissions " in the documentation for stat().
- nlink
- The number of links to this particular name; your resource manager can modify this member. For names that represent a directory, this value must be at least 2 (one for the directory itself, one for the ./ entry in it).
- rdev
- The device number for a character special device and the rdev number for a named special device.

The QWizardPage class is the base class for wizard pages. More...
#include <QWizardPage>
Inherits QWidget.
This class was introduced in Qt 4.3.
The Q.
Access functions:
See also title, QWizard::IgnoreSubTitles, and Elements of a Wizard Page.
This property holds the title of the page.
The title is shown by the QWizard, above the actual page. All pages should have a title.
The title may be plain text or HTML, depending on the value of the QWizard::titleFormat property.
Access functions:
See also subTitle and Elements of a Wizard Page.
Constructs a wizard page with the given parent.
When the page is inserted into a wizard using QWizard::addPage() or QWizard::setPage(), the parent is automatically set to be the wizard.
See also wizard().().
This virtual function is called by QWizard::cleanupPage() when the user clicks().
Returns the value of the field called name.
This function can be used to access fields on any page of the wizard. It is equivalent to calling wizard()->field(name).())); }
See also QWizard::field(), setField(), and registerField().
This virtual function is called by QWizard::initializePage() to prepare the page just before it is shown. (However, if the QWizard::IndependentPages option is set, this function is only called the first time the page is shown.)
By reimplementing this function, you can ensure that the page's fields are properly initialized based on fields from previous pages.())); }
The default implementation does nothing.
See also QWizard::initializePage(), cleanupPage(), and QWizard::IndependentPages.
Returns true if this page is a commit page; otherwise returns false.
See also setCommitPage().
This virtual function is called by QWizard to determine whether the Next or Finish button should be enabled or disabled.
The default implementation returns true if all mandatory fields are filled; otherwise, it returns false.
If you reimplement this function, make sure to emit completeChanged() whenever the value of isComplete() changes, to ensure that QWizard updates the enabled or disabled state of its buttons.
See also completeChanged() and isFinalPage()..
This virtual function is called by QWizard::nextId() to find out which page to show when the user clicks the Next button.
By default, this function returns the page with the following ID in the QWizard, or -1 if there is no such page.().
Sets the value of the field called name to value.
This function can be used to set fields on any page of the wizard. It is equivalent to calling wizard()->setField(name, value).
See also QWizard::setField(), field(), and registerField()..
Sets the pixmap for role which to pixmap.
The pixmaps are used by QWizard when displaying a page. Which pixmaps are actually used depend on the wizard style.
Pixmaps can also be set for the entire wizard using QWizard::setPixmap(), in which case they apply for all pages that don't specify a pixmap.
See also pixmap(), QWizard::setPixmap(), and Elements of a Wizard Page.().
Returns the wizard associated with this page, or 0 if this page hasn't been inserted into a QWizard yet.

Hey all,
I think this product might become the IDE the barren wasteland of SQL IDE's is missing :)
I'm experiencing some weird things with the sync feature however.
In my database I removed- and added some objects.
Sometimes (haven't found the exact circumstances yet) quick search (shift, shift) knows about the new tables, but the object list is still in a stale state.
Sync (ctrl+alt+y) doesn't always fix it when I'm at namespace (dbo) level. I have to go to the root level to actually sync.
Has anyone found similar issues? Did anyone find the exact situation where the sync seems to drop the ball?
Hey all,
Hello.
> Sometimes (haven't found the exact circumstances yet) quick search (shift, shift) knows about the new tables, but the object list is still in a stale state.
Without steps to reproduce I can only guess: Search Everywhere (shift shift is called so) may show elements defined in a source code, e.g. in database console or an SQL file. They are available immediately, without database synchronization.
> Sync (ctrl+alt+y) doesn't always fix it when I'm at namespace (dbo) level. I have to go to the root level to actually sync.
Not sure what happens in this case. Can you elaborate? What elements do you create, can you provide a DDL? What permissions do they get in the database? How synchronization looks visually: does it complete, are there any error messages, etc?
Thank you,
Alexander.
Hey Alexander,
Thanks for comming back to me with this.
The past few days I have tried to recreate the issue, but can't seem to pinpoint the exact parameters.
The table I was creating was pretty straight forward (id (identity(1,1), primary key), some string fields, one binary(max) column, no dependencies.
The synchronization looked like it was finished (the loading anim in the top right corner of the object explorer dissapeared), but I didn't check the error log.
I did notice however that on starting 0xdbe I get the message Error Loading Project: Cannot load [x] modules.
The number of modules seems to slowly increase over time. When I look at the paths of the modules it can't find, the files are there.
The path points to a network path.
Could this have to do anything with the issue? If so, can I configure this base path?
If I encounter a time where I have to do a lot of drop/create scripts again, I will be more mindfull of the circumstances so I can recreate the correct steps again.
Hello.
Not sure, does it relate to synchronization problem, but modules on network paths are really not supported (similar issue, for example:, and see the developer's comment there). It is better to work around this issue anyway.
Regards,
Alexander.
Don't know if this is resolving my issues, but everything is MUCH snappier now.
Loading and synchronization have gone from 'coffee break' to near instant :)
My guess is previously it just tried accessing the folder untill it timed out ... | https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/205995379-Confused-about-sync | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | refinedweb | 517 | 74.08 |
Community Tutorial: Using NPoco with CockroachDB and C# / .NET Core
Hi, I’m Darrien, and I’m building a distributed, near-real time, “OSINT data reconnaissance” system. For this system, I’ll be using CockroachDB for its distributed nature, and connecting it to a .NET Core API via NPoco and Npgsql. In this post, I’ll give a walkthrough of how I’m building the system, and how these connections work, so you can use them too.
An Exercise in Curiosity and Data Sets
When I first learned about network penetration testing I was enamored with the reconnaissance tools available for gathering data. However, I quickly learned these tools returned disparate data sets and formats. So this presented two problems:
- The lack of organization caused writing reports to be just as tedious as performing the test.
- Differing data formats make it difficult to relate and analyze the data sets from the tools.
I thought introducing some level of automation could make this “gather and organize” process easier (some clever modeling could alleviate that). To take this idea a step further, if such a system was designed to be distributed across IoT hardware it could introduce new possibilities for physical network pentests. For example: synchronize WiFi signals with perimeter photos. Previous attempts at designing such a system left me with scalability issues. However, a studious suggestion from a professional mentor turned me to Apache Kafka and CockroachDB to handle the data storage and distribution concern of the project. Together, these two technologies could give me distributed message queue connected to a persistent data store!
Being most of my software engineering experience has been in C#, I was left with a question of how to move data from .NET Core to this new distributed database I had never seen before. I’m electing to use the NPoco micro-ORM to make the connection a little easier. So, below I’ll be covering how I connected .NET Core, NPoco, and CRDB.
Currently, this is the (loose) tech stack of the larger OSINT project:
- Front-end: React + redux
- Back-end: C#/.NET Core, SignalR, Rx.NET, NPoco
- “Data flow”: CockroachDB, Apache Kafka
- OSINT tooling/consumption: Python + Flask, metagoofil, recon-ng, FOCA, and nmap
NPoco, Or: Why use an ORM?
I’ll admit my immediate reasoning for using an ORM because I commonly rely on one when interfacing with a SQL-compliant database. So, it’s familiar. Also, in my opinion, it helps the data access code become predictable.
A few other immediate benefits:
- Improved code readability around queries
- Easier data mapping to declared types
- hopefully…leading to quicker app prototyping
Choosing an ORM (or micro-ORM for that matter) is almost never an objective decision. For a while EntityFramework was the go-to data framework for C#. Then later versions had some reported performance issues, hence there was a push to third-party libraries. Granted, a lot of improvements have been made with the release of Entity Framework Core, but in that time I’d already grown accustomed to NPoco. If you’d rather use something other than NPoco–go ahead! Just note that this post is specific to NPoco and CockroachDB.
Alright, let’s jump into the tutorial.
Tutorial: Using NPoco with CRDB and .NET Core
Prerequisites: If you don’t already have a running version of CRDB, follow this tutorial by Cockroach Labs to get started. We’ll use a slightly different schema than used in that tutorial, but if you’ve never used CRDB before it’s a good place to start.
It’s not required, but you may also want to read through this “Build a C# App w/ CRDB” article as well. I’ll be borrowing heavily from the code in that article to make a connection to our database.
Step 1: Create a New .NET Core Web API Project
First, we’ll walk through the normal initial steps of creating a new .NET Core Web API project in Visual Studio. Be sure to target .NET Core 3.x.
Step 2: Install Packages
Since CockroachDB is compatible with PostgreSQL, we are able to use Npgsql as a data provider, and don’t have to worry about one built specifically for CRDB. Further, we are able to use NPoco as a micro-ORM for the same reason: it has Postgres support built in.
Step 3: Prepare the Database and create our schema
Before we do anything else, we’ll need to ensure CRDB is running and start a SQL session so we can issue commands.
Open a new terminal to start CRDB:
cockroach.exe start --insecure
In another terminal session, start a SQL session. Our work will take place here.
cockroach.exe sql --insecure
Note: If you still have an ‘accounts’ table in your ‘bank’ database (from the article linked above) you’ll need to drop it to continue:
DROP TABLE bank.accounts;
Now we create the database ‘bank’, and set it as the database we’ll be working from.
CREATE DATABASE bank; SET DATABASE TO bank;
Finally, we create our ‘accounts’ table with the following:
CREATE TABLE accounts( id UUID NOT NULL DEFAULT gen_random_uuid(), accountownwer STRING, balance DECIMAL(15,2), datecreated TIMESTAMPTZ, lastupdated TIMESTAMPTZ);
Step 4: Create a Basic Model
Now that the database is setup, let’s create the class our data will be mapped to. In your project, create a folder and name it “DataAccess”.
Inside that folder, create a new class: Account
public class Account { public Guid Id { get; set; } public string AccountOwner { get; set; } public decimal Balance { get; set; } public DateTime DateCreated { get; set; } public DateTime LastUpdated { get; set; } }
Then we’ll decorate the class with these three attributes. These attributes are the mechanism NPoco uses to map between SQL and your C# classes–so they are crucial!
- [TableName(“accounts”)]
- [PrimaryKey(“id”)]
- [Column(“id”)]
Afterwards, your class should look something like this:
The TableName and PrimaryKey attributes map the underlying class to key pieces of the specified table schema. If they aren’t specified here, then you will need to specify them later in the various NPoco methods querying the database. The same importance can be placed on the Column attribute. If it’s not defined here, there is no reasonable way for NPoco to map class fields to table columns.
Further, notice that all of the attribute names included are completely lowercase. Not camelCase or Pascal-cased, strictly lowercase. This was tricky until I realized how important the casing was, and it resulted in a few mapping failures. Paying close attention to error messages was key here.
A Brief Note on Data Types
Matching types was the most difficult part of the puzzle. I used an (educated) guess-and-check process to determine which CRDB types matched with the C# types. Several times using the wrong schema in CRDB didn’t break the application, but did result in data being inserted in an unexpected format. Determining the CRDB type for a C# Guid and DateTime were the most troublesome for me, because of the extra flexibility CRDB provides. However, discussing the minutiae of these data types is outside of the scope of this article. So, if you’d like to know more, take a look at this CRDB data type reference.
Step 4: Create Basic Database Class
Now that our data mappings are created, let’s make the connection from C# to CRDB. Back in the project, create a new class called “Database”.
This is the class we’ll use to establish a connection to CRDB and write some basic CRUD operations. The implementation is rather simplistic, but it will work for our needs.
First, we lay out a constructor for our class, and use the NpgsqlConnectionStringBuilder class to build our connection string in pieces. Notice, these values are just the defaults with the database ‘bank’ coming from our previous setup. This code is pulled directly from “Build a C# App with Cockroach DB”.
Kicking the Tires
Awesome! At this point we can start using NPoco to write some simple queries. Let’s take it for a spin.
Simple Actions: Select & ‘where’ clause
Let’s start with retrieving a single record. First, we’ll use a couple “
using” blocks for creating the connection to the database and a database object. This also sets up automatic disposing of the resources we’re using for the database connection.This method selects a single record based on the ‘id’ parameter. First, NPoco opts for using the term “
Fetch” instead of “
Select”, but you can think of these synonymously. Then, we use the LINQ expression “
Where” to filter the resulting list based on the “
Id” field. Finally, we call “
FirstOrDefault()” to return a single
Account, not
List<Account>.
public Account GetSingle(string id) { Account acc; using (var conn = new NpgsqlConnection(connectionString)) { using (var db = new NPoco.Database(conn)) { db.Connection.Open(); acc = db.Fetch().Where(a => a.Id == new Guid(id)).FirstOrDefault(); db.Connection.Close(); } } return acc; }
Simple Actions: Insert
NPoco makes inserts really simple. We supply the object to be inserted as a parameter, and call “
Insert()”.
db.Insert<Account>("accounts", "id", account);
The method I’ve referenced has a few other parts to it, though. Here, “
Insert()” becomes “
Insert<Account>()” to specify we’re acting on the
Account type. Further, an overload for “
Insert” is used which requires specifying the table, primary key, and finally the object for insertion. This is one of those weird cases where I encountered some strange behavior of NPoco, the PostgreSql driver, and CRDB not lining up exactly. So, I resolved to supplying as much information as possible to the method.
Simple Actions: Update/Upsert
There are several ways to update records with NPoco, and it can be done with a lot of nuance. However, I’ll keep things simple, and cover two of the simpler ways.
For an update, we supply the object after field updates have been made, so the record should still have the same unaltered ‘id’ from the database. Then we pass this to NPoco’s “
Update” method. Remember those attributes we decorated the Account class with?–TableName, PrimaryKey, and Column. NPoco uses that metadata to create the proper update statement in SQL!
An “upsert” is just as easy. The “Save” method in NPoco is known to perform an “upsert” operation, as documented here:. Other than that, we supply our already updated object the same as we did for “
Update”, but we specify “
Save”. That’s it!
Simple Actions:
Deletes are just as easy. We supply our object as a parameter, and call “
Delete()”. Again the metadata supplied by the attributes on the Account class allow NPoco to do its heavy-lifting for this.
var res = db.Delete<Account>(account);
Once again, I encountered some weirdness between NPoco, the Npgsql driver, and CRDB when I tried to supply only a record’s primary key value to perform a delete. I wasn’t able to track down what was failing, but using the whole object, like above, worked well.
Benefit of This Approach
Each ORM has its virtues. I chose NPoco in part because it offers the flexibility to submit complex SQL queries without leaving the pattern used in simpler queries–and with full control over parameterization. Just for fun, below we have an (admittedly contrived) example of how we could implement a CTE query while still utilizing a minimal amount of NPoco.
string col3 = "someColumnName"; const string MyTableName = "some_special_table"; using (var conn = new NpgsqlConnection(connectionString)) { using (var db = new NPoco.Database(conn)) { db.Connection.Open(); var res = db.Execute(new Sql($@" WITH bankers_cte AS (SELECT * FROM employees WHERE type == 'banker') select col1, col2, {col3} from {MyTableName} sst where sst.col1 == bankers_cte.colX", col3)); db.Connection.Close(); } }
In case you aren’t familiar with C#’s string formatting options, the ‘$’ character provides a sugar-syntax alternative to the older “
String.format()”, and the ‘
@’ allows for multi-line string. A nice two-handed punch for when you want to write multi-line SQL queries in your code without confusing formatting issues.
Closing: Quick Gains, a Word about a Prototype Project
I’m still in the early stages of working with CRDB and NPoco, so there are no guarantees that I’ll continue with this pairing, but already it’s allowed me to get off the ground with CRDB just like I would any other SQL-compliant database. For now, it’s great to be able to query data knowing CRDB is doing the hard work underneath to keep things scalable.
I’ll continue developing my prototype application, and should this crazy idea work I’ll share more about prototyping with CRDB and my adventures with its distributed and “real-time” capabilities. As a part of that continued effort, I’d like to experiment with adapting this architecture for IoT, specifically on Raspberry Pi. The release of the RaspberryPi 4 opened the hardware up to 64-bit processing and now 4GB of RAM. Ideally, all of this experimentation would prove a concept for a data streaming system, running on IoT hardware, across a MANET (mobile ad-hoc network).
Maybe it’ll work…maybe I’ll fry a few boards. 😉 | https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/npoco-dotnet-cockroachdb/ | CC-MAIN-2020-10 | refinedweb | 2,189 | 63.7 |
Postgresql fixtures and fixture factories for Pytest.
Project Description
What is this?
This is a pytest plugin, that enables you to test your code that relies on a running PostgreSQL Database. It allows you to specify fixtures for PostgreSQL process and client.
How to use
Warning
Tested on PostgreSQL versions > 9.x. See tests for more details.
Plugin contains two fixtures
- postgresql - it’s a client fixture that has functional scope. After each test it ends all leftover connections, and drops test database from PostgreSQL ensuring repeatability.
- postgresql_proc - session scoped fixture, that starts PostgreSQL instance at it’s first use and stops at the end of the tests.
Simply include one of these fixtures into your tests fixture list.
You can also create additional postgresql client and process fixtures if you’d need to:
from pytest_postgresql import factories postgresql_my_proc = factories.postgresql_proc( port=None, logsdir='/tmp') postgresql_my = factories.postgresql('postgresql_my_proc')
Note
Each PostgreSQL process fixture can be configured in a different way than the others through the fixture factory arguments.
Configuration
You can define your settings in three ways, it’s fixture factory argument, command line option and pytest.ini configuration option. You can pick which you prefer, but remember that these settings are handled in the following order:
- Fixture factory argument
- Command line option
- Configuration option in your pytest.ini file
Example usage:
pass it as an argument in your own fixture
postgresql_proc = factories.postgresql_proc( port=8888)
use --postgresql-port command line option when you run your tests
py.test tests --postgresql-port=8888
specify your port as postgresql_port in your pytest.ini file.
To do so, put a line like the following under the [pytest] section of your pytest.ini:
[pytest] postgresql_port = 8888

Introduction
In this sample is shown how to build a simple button with a nice graphic interface. My control would be an example about using the drawings classes and the essentials key-words. I decide to draw an unusual button like this picture below:
First step
First of all I declare my new class : public class SpringButton : Control {}
After that I expose some essential proprieties like the size in pixel of the triangles and the second color of the button. All the others proprieties that I need are yet behind the System.Windows.Form.Control class.
//this variable say if the
//mouse is over the control
private bool Sel = false;
private Color BackColor2= Color.Gray;
public Color BackColorEnd
{
get
{
return BackColor2;
}
set
BackColor2=value;
this.Invalidate();
}
int _triangle =25;
//I add a property
//that's the length of
//a triangle rectangle (45°)
public int Triangle
return _triangle;
}
_triangle=value;
//if length change I update
//the control
this.Invalidate(true);
//set the button as "selected" on mouse entering
//and as not selected on mouse leaving
protected override void OnMouseEnter(EventArgs e)
Sel = true;
this.Invalidate();
}
protected override void OnMouseLeave(EventArgs e)
{
Sel = false;
The core
The main step is this override of the OnPaint procedure. In this method I draw indirectly on the control, first the central rectangle, and then the two triangles in the opposite corners. I use this code:
protected void PaintBut(PaintEventArgs e)
//I select the rights color
//To paint the button...
Color FColor = this.BackColorEnd;
Color BColor = this.BackColor;
if (Sel == true)
{
FColor = this.BackColor;
BColor = this.BackColorEnd;
//and draw(see All the code...)
In the end I would to explain how to use delegate. So I declared this class that I used as EventArgs. In fact when clicked on the control I decide if the click has been on a triangle and if yes, I do a delegate with the TriangleEventArgs that say that the triangle has been clicked.
protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
base.OnClick(e);
// if the user use this delegate...
if (this.TriangleClick != null)
//check if the user click on the left triangle
//or in the right with some geometrics rules...
//(isn't possible to click all triangle at the same time )
int x= e.X;
int y= e.Y;
if((x<_triangle)&&(y<=(_triangle-x))|| (x>this.ClientRectangle.Width-_triangle)&&(y>=(this.ClientRectangle.Height-_triangle-x)) )
{
//try with right...
TriangleClickEventArgs te= new TriangleClickEventArgs(false);
//if not...
if((x<_triangle)&&(y<=(_triangle-x))) te= new TriangleClickEventArgs(true);
this.TriangleClick(this,te);
}

On January 1, 2017, Norway will introduce a new VAT return and new import VAT scheme.
1 January 2017: New VAT return
A new version of the VAT return will be introduced as from 1 January 2017. The deadlines for submission and payment will remain unchanged. The new VAT return contains new and changed boxes (19 boxes) compared to the previous VAT return (11 boxes). Your accounts must be compatible with the VAT return. This is necessary in order to extract figures specified according to the 19 boxes in the VAT return. The accounting systems must therefore be upgraded in order to comply with the Norwegian Bookkeeping regulations. The new VAT return is mandatory.
1 January 2017: New import VAT scheme
From 1 January 2017, importers who are registered in the Norwegian VAT register must report import VAT on goods in the new VAT return. You will no longer receive VAT invoices from the Customs Authority or the shipping agents. As a result, it will no longer be necessary to have a customs credit (duty deferment account) for import VAT. Please note that a customs credit can be used for other customs duties and for excise duties.
The Norwegian Customs will offer a customs declaration overview as a new service in Altinn (). You must calculate the basis for the VAT and the VAT amount itself based on information in the customs declaration, etc. For VAT-registered enterprises, the VAT basis and VAT amount will no longer form part of the customs declaration – and these amounts will therefore not be shown in the customs declaration overview. Only other taxes entered on the customs declaration will be shown, where applicable, such as customs duties, excise duties research levies, export tax on fish, duties and/or raw material tax.
The Norwegian Customs’ declaration system (TVINN) is the source of information in the overview. The customs declaration overview will be made available on the first working day following the end of the previous month.
When a new overview becomes available in Altinn, the enterprise will receive notification via e-mail from Altinn. The customs declaration overview will show information that may be of use to VATregistered enterprises when completing the new VAT return.
1 April 2017: Changes – Fiscal representative scheme
A foreign enterprise with no place of business in Norway (branch or “NUF”) is, as a main rule, obliged to register in the VAT Register through a Norwegian fiscal representative. From 1 April 2017, the enterprise can choose not to register through a VAT representative if the country of origin is one of the following: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and UK. Branches with origin in other countries (USA, Asia etc.) will still be obliged to register though a fiscal representative. | https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=b9cb8da3-6bb6-498a-8eef-f0b25fa1f3e6 | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | refinedweb | 468 | 51.78 |

Scrolling text on TM1638 LED (running as separate task) creates audible ticks and vibration (with frequency equal to scroll text speed) on running step motor. Bypassing scroll code in this task removed problem with ticking step motor.
I don't recall a post about the Ethernet library. Many Arduino libraries are not RTOS friendly but that doesn't mean you can't use them.Here is an example from the Ethernet library:Code: [Select] // Wait for a response packet while(iUdp.parsePacket() <= 0) { if((millis() - startTime) > aTimeout) return TIMED_OUT; delay(50); }This loop has a delay(50) call that will block lower priority threads. If the delay were replaced by a chThdSleep(50) call, lower priority threads could use the CPU time.I think a web server is an ideal candidate for RTOS use. I would love to have a well designed web server as an example.I hope to write a "How To" for making minimal changes to libraries that will improve their performance with an RTOS.
// Wait for a response packet while(iUdp.parsePacket() <= 0) { if((millis() - startTime) > aTimeout) return TIMED_OUT; delay(50); }

Pittsburgh Scala Meetup: learning by reading Josh's code!
The Pittsburgh Scala Meetup met to learn by hacking. There was a change of plan because Josh couldn’t make it to the meeting, so instead of a presentation by him, we got a link to his GitHub repository for an implementation of an interactive Web-based tic-tac-toe game using Play.
Sometimes interesting things happen when plans are changed.
Reading Josh’s code
Since Josh wasn’t around, we decided to study his code, and use it as the basis of discussion of Scala language features and idiomatic style, making sure that all of us understood what the code was doing. This turned out to be a surprisingly useful exercise, very participatory by everyone.
Justin took charge of an SBT session as we played with modifying the code and figuring out what things did. I shared some tips on using SBT in “trigger mode”, which some had not known about. While experimenting, we ran into interesting Scala gotchas involving
def and
val in classes that mix in traits. We also had useful discussions on coding style, such as point-free style and use of underscores in closures, and converting between curried and uncurried functions. My personal point of view is that I prefer to be more explicit rather than more concise, to improve clarity, but much does depend on assumptions about people’s prior knowledge. Josh was writing this code for only himself, and the complete application was actually not meant to showcase the tic-tac-toe game logic anyway, but the use of Play.
Conclusion
I thought it was a really useful session in which we all helped one other get up to speed on various Scala language features or standard library APIs. We all learned something new, and we figured out Josh’s code, and collected questions to ask him when he comes back!comments powered by Disqus | http://conscientiousprogrammer.com/blog/2013/10/11/pittsburgh-scala-meetup-learning-by-reading-joshs-code/ | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | refinedweb | 321 | 59.13 |

Domain for Many2many fields
Hello there,
I'm trying to create a domain on a Many2many field:
@api.onchange('name')
def onchange_domain_on_days(self):
res = {}
ids = []
employee_model = self.env['hr.employee']
all_employees = employee_model.search([])
for employee in all_employees:
if employee.user_id.store_id == self.working_hours_id.store_id:
ids.append(employee.id)
res['domain'] = {
'monday': [('id', 'in', ids)],
}
return res
This will work very well! BUT only if the field value 'name' changes.. Is there a way to apply this from the beginning?
Best regards

Hi,
- One option is to make it a compute field of type Many2many. And you can add the above code on that function, according to what should be returned on that field.
- Another option is to override the view_init() which is triggered everytime showing a form view, you can add your code in that function.
This post also might be helpful, which describes another way:

Federated Identity with Microsoft Azure Access Control Service
In Chapter 4, "Federated Identity for Web Applications," you saw how Adatum used claims to enable users at Litware to access the a-Order application. The scenario described how Adatum could federate with partner organizations that have their own claims-based identity infrastructures. Adatum supported the partner organizations by establishing trust relationships between the Adatum federation provider (FP) and the partner's identity provider (IdP).
Adatum would now like to allow individual users who are not part of a partner's security domain to access the a-Order application. Adatum does not want to manage the user accounts for these individuals: instead, these individuals should be able to use an existing identity from social identity providers such as Microsoft® Windows® Live®, Google, Yahoo!, or Facebook. How can Adatum enable users to reuse an existing social identity, such as Facebook ID, when they access the a-Order application? In addition to establishing trust relationships with the social identity providers, Adatum must find solutions to these problems:
In this chapter, the term "social identity" refers to an identity managed by a well-known, established online identity provider.
- Different identity providers may use different protocols and token formats to exchange identity data.
- Different identity providers may use different claim types.
- The Adatum federation provider must be able to redirect users to the correct identity provider.
- The a-Order application must be able to implement authorization rules based on the claims that the social identity providers issue.
- Adatum must be able to enroll new users with social identities who want to use the a-Order application.
The Azure™ AppFabric Access Control Service (ACS) is a cloud-based federation provider that provides services to facilitate this scenario. ACS can transition between the protocols used by different identity providers to transfer claims, perform mappings between different claim types based on configurable rules, and help locate the correct identity provider for a user when they want to access an application. For more information, see Chapter 2, "Claims-Based Architectures."
In this chapter, you'll learn how Adatum enables individual customers with a range of different social identity types to access the a-Order application alongside Adatum employees and employees of an existing enterprise partner. This chapter extends the scenario described in Chapter 4, "Federated Identity for Web Applications," and shows Adatum building on its previous investments in a claims-based identity infrastructure.
The Premise
Now that Adatum has enabled federated access to the a-Order application for users at some of Adatum's partners such as Litware, Adatum would like to extend access to the a-Order application to users at smaller businesses with no identity infrastructure of their own and to individual consumer users. Fortunately, it is likely that these users will already have some kind of social identity such as a Google ID or a Windows Live ID. Smaller businesses want their users to be able to track their orders, just as Rick at Litware is already able to do. Consumer users want to be able to log on with their social identity credentials and use the a-Order program to determine the status of all their orders with Adatum. They don't want to be issued additional credentials from Adatum just to use the a-Order application.
Goals and Requirements
The goal of this scenario is to show how federated identity can make the partnership between Adatum and consumer users and users at smaller businesses with no security infrastructure of their own work more efficiently. With federated identity, one security realm can accept identities that come from another security realm. This lets people in one domain access resources located in the other domain without presenting additional credentials. The Adatum issuer will trust the common social identity providers (Windows Live ID, Facebook, Google, Yahoo!) to authenticate users on behalf of the a-Order application.
In addition to the goals, this scenario has a number of other requirements. One requirement is that Adatum must control access to the order status pages and the information that the application displays based on the identity of the partner or consumer user who is requesting access to the a-Order application. In other words, users at Litware should only be able to browse through Litware's orders and not another company's orders. In this chapter, we introduce Mary, the owner of a small company named "Mary Inc." She, of course, should only be able to browse through her orders and no one else's.
Another requirement is that, because Adatum has several partner organizations and many consumer users, Adatum must be able to find out which identity provider it should use to authenticate a user's credentials. As mentioned in previous chapters, this process is called home realm discovery. For more information, see Chapter 2, "Claims-Based Architectures."
One assumption for this chapter is that Adatum has its own identity infrastructure in place.
Overview of the Solution
With the goals and requirements in place, it's time to look at the solution. As you saw in Chapter 4, "Federated Identity for Web Applications," the solution includes the establishment of a claim-based architecture with an issuer that acts as an identity provider on the customer's side and an issuer that acts as the federation provider on Adatum's side. Recall that a federation provider acts as a gateway between a resource and all of the issuers that provide claims about the resource's users.
In addition, this solution now includes an ACS instance, which handles the protocol transition and token transformation for issuers that might not be WS-Federation based. This includes many of the social identity providers mentioned earlier in this chapter.
Figure 1 shows the Adatum solution for both Litware that has its own identity provider, and Mary who is using a social identity—Google, in this example.
Figure 1
The following two sections provide a high-level walkthrough of the interactions between the relying party (RP), the federation provider, and the identity provider for customers with and without their own identity provider. For a detailed description of the sequence of messages that the parties exchange, see Appendix B.
Example of a Customer with its Own Identity Provider
To recap from Chapter 4, "Federated Identity for Web Applications," here's an example of how the system works for a user, Rick, at the partner Litware, which has its own identity provider. The steps correspond to the shaded numbers in the preceding illustration.
Step 1: Authenticate Rick
- Rick is using a computer on Litware's network. Litware's Active Directory® service has already authenticated him. He opens a browser and navigates to the a-Order application. Rick is not an authenticated user in a-Order at this time. Adatum has configured a-Order to trust Adatum's issuer (the federation provider). The application has no knowledge of where the request comes from. It redirects Rick's request to the Adatum federation provider.
- The Adatum federation provider presents the user with a page listing different identity providers that it trusts (the "Home realm Discovery" page). At this point, the federation provider doesn't know where Rick comes from.
- Rick selects Litware from the list and then Adatum's federation provider redirects him to the Litware issuer that can verify that Rick is who he says he is.
- Litware's identity provider verifies Rick's credentials and returns a security token to Rick's browser. Litware's identity provider has configured the claims in this token for the Adatum federation provider and they contain information about Rick that is relevant to Adatum. For example, the claims establish his name and that he belongs to the sales organization in Litware.
Step 2: Transmit Litware’s Security Token to the Adatum Federation Provider
- Ricks’ browser now posts the issued token back to the Adatum federation provider. The Adatum federation provider validates the token issued by Litware and creates a new token that the a-Order application can use.
Step 3: Transforming the Token
- The federation provider transforms the claims issued by Litware into claims that Adatum's a-Order application understands. (The mapping rules that translate Litware claims into Adatum claims were determined when Adatum configured its issuer to accept Litware's issuer as an identity provider.)
- The claim mappings in Adatum's issuer remove some claims and add others that the a-Order application needs in order to accept Rick as a user, and possibly control access to certain resources.
Step 4: Transmit the Transformed Token and Perform the Requested Action
- The Adatum issuer uses browser redirection to send the new token to the application. In the a-Order application, Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) validates the security token and extracts the claims. It creates a ClaimsPrincipal object and assigns it to HttpContext.User property. The a-Order application can then access the claims for authorization decisions. For example, in this scenario, the application filters orders by organization, which is one of the pieces of information provided as a claim.
Example of a Customer Using a Social Identity
Here's an example of how the system works for a consumer user such as Mary who is using a social identity. The steps correspond to the un-shaded numbers in the preceding illustration.
Step 1: Present Credentials to the Identity Provider
- Mary is using a computer at home. She opens a browser and navigates to the a-Order application at Adatum. Adatum has configured the a-Order application to trust Adatum's issuer (the federation provider). Mary is currently un-authenticated, so the application redirects Mary's request to the Adatum federation provider.
- The Adatum federation provider presents Mary with a page listing different identity providers that it trusts. At this point, the federation provider doesn't know which security realm Mary belongs to, so it must ask Mary which identity provider she wants to authenticate with.
- Mary selects the option to authenticate using her social identity and then Adatum's federation provider redirects her to the ACS issuer to verify that Mary is who she says she is. Adatum's federation provider uses the whr parameter in the request to indicate to ACS which social identity provider to use—in this example it is Google.
- ACS automatically redirects Mary to the Google issuer.
- Google verifies Mary's credentials and returns a security token to Mary's browser. The Google identity provider has added claims to this token for ACS: the claims include basic information about Mary. For example, the claims establish her name and her email address.
Step 2: Transmit the Identity Provider's Security Token to ACS
- The Google identity provider uses HTTP redirection to redirect the browser to ACS with the security token it has issued.
- ACS receives this token and verifies that it was issued by the identity provider.
Step 3: Transform the Claims
- If necessary, ACS converts the token issued by the identity provider to the security assertion markup language (SAML) 2.0 format and copies the claims issued by Google into the new token.
- ACS returns the new token to Mary's browser.
Step 4: Transmit the Identity Provider's Security Token to the federation Provider
- Mary’s browser posts the issued token back to the Adatum federation provider.
- The Adatum federation provider receives this token and validates it by checking that ACS issued the token.
Step 5: Map the Claims
- Adatum's federation provider applies token mapping rules to the ACS security token. These rules transform the claims into claims that the a-Order application can understand.
- The Adatum federation provider returns the new claims to Mary's browser.
Step 6: Transmit the Mapped Claims and Perform the Requested Action
- Mary's browser posts the token issued by the Adatum federation provider to the a-Order application. This token contains the claims created by the mapping process.
- The application validates the security token by checking that the Adatum federation provider issued it.
- The application reads the claims and creates a session for Mary. It can use Mary's identity information from the token to determine which orders Mary can see in the application.
Because this is a web application, all interactions happen through the browser. (See the section "Browser-Based Scenario with ACS" in Appendix B for a detailed description of the protocol for a browser-based client.)
The principles behind these interactions are exactly the same as those described in Chapter 4, "Federated Identity for Web Applications."
Adatum's issuer, acting as a federation provider, mediates between the application and the external issuers. The federation provider has two responsibilities. First, it maintains a trust relationship with partner issuers, which means that the federation provider accepts and understands Litware tokens and their claims, ACS tokens and their claims, and tokens and their claims from any other configured partner. Second, the federation provider needs to translate claims from partners and ACS into claims that a-Order can understand. The a-Order application only accepts claims from Adatum's federation provider (this is its trusted issuer). In this scenario, a-Order expects claims of type Role and Organization in order to authorize operations on its web site. The problem is that ACS claims don't come from Adatum and they don't have these claim types. In the scenario, the claims from ACS only establish that a social identity provider has authenticated the user. To solve this problem, the Adatum federation provider uses mapping rules that add a Role claim to the claims from ACS.
Trust Relationships with Social Identity Providers
The nature of a trust relationship between Adatum and a business partner such as Litware, is subtly different from a trust relationship between Adatum and a social identity provider such as Google or Windows Live. In the case of a trust relationship between Adatum and a business partner such as Litware, the trust operates at two levels; there is a business trust relationship characterized by business contracts and agreements, and a technical trust relationship characterized by the configuration of the Adatum federation provider to trust tokens issued by the Litware identity provider. In the case of a trust relationship between Adatum and a social identity provider such as Windows Live, the trust is only a technical trust; there is no business relationship between Adatum and Windows Live. In this scenario, Adatum establishes a business trust relationship with the owner of the social identity when the owner enrolls to use the a-Order application and registers his or her social identity with Adatum. A further difference between the two scenarios is in the claims issued by the identity providers. Adatum can trust the business partner to issue rich, accurate claims data about its employees such as cost centers, roles, and telephone numbers, in addition to identity claims such as name and email. The claims issued by a social identity provider are minimal, and may sometimes be just an identifier. Because there is no business trust relationship with the social identity provider, the only thing that Adatum knows for sure is that each individual with a social identity has a unique, unchanging identifier that Adatum can use to recognize that it's the same person returning to the a-Order application.
Description of Mapping Rules in a Federation Provider
The claims that ACS returns from the social identity provider to the Adatum federation provider do not include the role or organization claims that the a-Order application uses to authorize access to order data. In some cases, the only claim from the social identity provider is the nameidentifier that is a guid-like string. The mapping in rules in the Adatum federation provider must add the role and organization claims to the token. In the sample, the mapping rules simply add the OrderTracker role, and "Mary Inc." as an organization.
The following table summarizes the mapping rules that the Adatum federation provider applies when it receives a token from ACS when the user has authenticated with Google.
The following table summarizes the mapping rules that the simulated issuer applies when it receives a token from ACS when the user has authenticated with Windows Live ID.
The following table summarizes the mapping rules that the simulated issuer applies when it receives a token from ACS when the user has been authenticated by a Facebook application.
In the scenario described in this chapter, because of the small numbers of users involved, Adatum expects to manage the enrolment as a manual process. For a description of how this might be automated, see Chapter 7, "Federated Identity with Multiple Partners and Microsoft Azure Access Control Service."
Alternative Solutions
Of course, the solution we've just described illustrates just one implementation choice; another possibility would be to separate Adatum's identity provider and federation provider and let ACS manage the federation and the claims transformation. Figure 2 shows the trust relationships that Adatum would need to configure for this solution.
Figure 2
In this alternative solution, ACS would trust the Adatum and Litware identity providers and there is no longer a trust relationship between the Litware and Adatum issuers. Adatum should also evaluate the costs of this solution because there will be additional ACS transactions as it handles sign-ins from users at partners with their own identity providers. These costs need to be compared with the cost of running and managing this service on-premises.
A second alternative solution does away with ACS leaving all the responsibilities for protocol transition and claims transformation to the issuer at Adatum. Figure 3 shows the trust relationships that Adatum would need to configure for this solution.
Figure 3
Although this alternative solution means that Adatum does not need to pay any of the subscription charges associated with using ACS, Adatum is concerned about the additional complexity of its issuer, which would now need to handle all of the protocol transition and claims transformation tasks. Furthermore, implementing this scenario would probably take some time (weeks or months), while Adatum could probably configure the solution with ACS in a matter of hours. The question becomes one of business efficiency: would Adatum get a better return by investing in creating and maintaining infrastructure services, or by focusing on their core business services?
Inside the Implementation
The Visual Studio solution named 6-FederationWithAcs found at is an example of how to use federation with ACS. The structure of the application is very similar to what you saw in chapter 4, "Federated Identity for Web Applications." There are no changes to the a-Order application: it continues to trust the Adatum simulated issuer that provides it with the claims required to authorize access to the application's data.
The example solution extends the Adatum simulated issuer to handle federation with ACS, and uses an ACS instance that is configured to trust the social identity providers. The next section describes these changes.
Setup and Physical Deployment
You can see the entry for ACS () in the issuerNameRegistry section of the Web.config file in the Adatum.SimulatedIssuer.6 project. This entry includes the thumbprint used to verify the token that the Adatum federation provider receives from ACS. This is the address of the ACS instance created for the sample.
When the developers at Adatum want to deploy their application, they will modify the configuration so that it uses the Adatum federation provider. They will also modify the configuration of the Adatum federation provider by adding a trust relationship with the production ACS instance.
Establishing a Trust Relationship with ACS
Establishing a trust relationship with ACS is very similar to establishing a trust relationship with any other issuer. Generally, there are six steps in this process:
- Configure Adatum's issuer to recognize your ACS instance as a trusted identity provider.
- Configure the social identity providers that you want to support in ACS.
- Configure your ACS instance to accept requests from the Adatum issuer (the Adatum issuer is a relying party as far as ACS is concerned.)
- Edit the claims rules in ACS to pass the claims from the social identity provider through to the Adatum issuer.
- If necessary, edit the claims transformation rules in the Adatum issuer that are specific to the social identity providers.
- If necessary, edit the claims rules in the Adatum issuer that are specific to the a-Order application.
You can refer to documentation provided by your production issuer for instructions on how to perform these steps. You can find detailed instructions for the ACS configuration in Appendix E of this guide.
Reporting Errors from ACS
You can specify a URL that points to an error page for each relying party that you define in ACS. In the sample, this page is called ErrorPage.aspx and you can find it in the Adatum.FederationProvider.6 project. If ACS detects an error during processing, it can post JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) encoded error information to this page. The code-behind for this page illustrates a simple approach for displaying this error information; in practice, you may want to log these errors and take different actions depending on the specific error that occurs.
Initializing ACS
The sample application includes a set of pre-configured partners for Fabrikam Shipping, both with and without their own identity providers. These partners require identity providers, relying parties, and claims-mapping rules in ACS in order to function. The ACS.Setup.6 project in the solution is a basic console application that you can run to add the necessary configuration data for the pre-configured partners to your ACS instance. It uses the ACS Management API and the wrapper classes in the ACS.ServiceManagementWrapper project.
For more information on working with ACS, see Appendix E.
Working with Social Identity Providers
The solution described in this chapter enables Adatum to support users with identities from trusted partners such as Litware, and with identities from social identity providers such as Google or Windows Live ID. Implementing this scenario in the real world would require solutions to two additional problems.
First, there is the question of managing how we define the set of identities (authenticated by one of the social identity providers) that are members of the same organization. For example, which set of users with Windows Live IDs and Google IDs are associated with the organization Mary Inc? With a partner such as Litware with its own identity provider, Adatum trusts Litware to decide which users at Litware should be able to view the order data that belongs to Litware.
Second, there are differences between the claims returned from the social identity providers. In particular, Windows Live ID only returns the nameidentifier claim. This is a guid-like string that Windows Live guarantees to remain unchanged for any particular Windows Live ID within the current ACS namespace. All we can tell from this claim is that that this instance of ACS and Windows Live have authenticated the same person, provided we get the same nameidentifier value returned. There are no claims that give us the user's email address or name.
The following potential solutions make these assumptions about Adatum.
- Adatum does not want to make any changes to the a-Order application to accommodate the requirements of a particular partner.
- Adatum wants to do all of its claims processing in the Adatum federation provider. Adatum is using ACS just for protocol transition, passing through any claims from the social identity providers directly to the Adatum federation provider.
Managing Users with Social Identities
Taking Litware as an example, let's recap how the relationship with a partner organization works.
- Adatum configures the Adatum federation provider to trust the Litware identity provider. This is a one-time, manual configuration step in this scenario.
- Adatum adds a set of claims-mapping rules to the Adatum federation provider, to convert claims from Litware into claims that the Adatum a-Order application understands. In this scenario, the relevant claims that the a-Order application expects to see are name, Role and Organization.
- Litware can authorize any of its employees to access the Adatum a-Order application by ensuring that Litware's identity provider gives the user the correct claim. In other words, Litware controls who has access to Litware's data in the Adatum a-Order application.
The situation for a smaller partner organization without its own identity provider is a little different. Let's take MaryInc, which wants to use Windows Live IDs and Google IDs as an example.
- Unlike a partner with its own identity provider, there is no need to set up a new trust relationship because Adatum already trusts ACS. From the perspective of the Adatum federation provider, ACS is where the MaryInc employee claims will originate.
- The Adatum federation provider cannot identify the partner organization of the authenticated user from the claims it receives from ACS. Therefore, Adatum must configure a set of mapping rules in the federation provider that map a user's unique claim from ACS (such as the nameidentifier claim) to appropriate values for the name, Role and Organization claims that the a-Order application expects to see.
- If MaryInc wants to allow multiple employees to access MaryInc data in the a-Order application, then Adatum must manually configure additional mapping rules in its federation provider.
This last point highlights the significant difference between the partner with its own identity provider and the partner without. The partner with its own identity provider can manage who has access to its data in the a-Order application; the partner without its own identity provider must rely on Adatum to make changes in the Adatum federation provider if it wants to change who has access to its data.
Working with Windows Live IDs
Unlike the other social identity providers supported by ACS that all return name and emailaddress claims, Windows Live ID only returns a nameidentifier claim. This means that the Adatum federation provider must use some additional logic to determine appropriate values for the name, Role and Organization claims that the a-Order application expects to see.
This means that when someone with a Windows Live ID enrolls to use the Adatum a-Order application, Adatum must capture values for the nameidentifier, name, Role and Organization claims to use in the mapping rules in the federation provider (as well as any other data that Adatum requires). The only way to discover the nameidentifier value is to capture the claim that Windows Live returns after the user signs in, so part of the enrollment process at Adatum must include the user authenticating with Windows Live.
With ADFS you can create custom claims transformation modules that, for example, allow you to implement a mapping rule based on data retrieved from a relational database. With this in mind, the enrollment process for new users of the Adatum a-Order application could populate a database table with the values required for a user's set of claims.
Working with Facebook
The sample application enables you to use Facebook as one of the supported social identity providers. Adding support for Facebook did not require any changes to the a-Order web application. However, there are differences in the way the Adatum federation provider supports Facebook as compared to the other social identity providers, and differences in the ACS configuration.
Configuring Facebook as an identity provider in ACS requires some additional data; an Application ID that identifies your Facebook application, an Application secret to authenticate with your Facebook application, and a list of claims that ACS will request from Facebook. The additional configuration values enable you to configure multiple Facebook applications as identity providers for your relying party.
Each set of Facebook application credentials is treated as a separate identity provider in ACS.
The implication for the Adatum federation provider is that it must be able to identify the Facebook application to use for authentication in the whr parameter that it passes to ACS. The following code sample from the FederationIssuers class in the Adatum federation provider shows how the Facebook application ID is included in the whr value.
Questions
- Which of the following issues must you address if you want to allow users of your application to authenticate with a social identity provider such as Google or Windows Live® network of Internet services?
- Social identity providers may use protocols other than WS-Federation to exchange claims tokens.
- You must register your application with the social identity provider.
- Different social identity providers issue different claim types.
- You must provide a mechanism to enroll users using social identities with your application.
- What are the advantages of allowing users to authenticate to use your application with a social identity?
- The user doesn't need to remember yet another username and password.
- It reduces the features that you must implement in your application.
- Social identity providers all use the same protocol to transfer tokens and claims.
- It puts the user in control of their password management. For example, a user can recover a forgotten password without calling your helpdesk.
- What are the potential disadvantages of using ACS as your federation provider?
- It adds to the complexity of your relying party application.
- It adds an extra step to the authentication process, which negatively impacts the user experience.
- It is a metered service, so you must pay for each token that it issues.
- Your application now relies on an external service that is outside of its control.
- How can your federation provider determine which identity provider to use (perform home realm discovery) when an unauthenticated user accesses the application?
- Present the user with a list of identity providers to choose from.
- Analyze the IP address of the originating request.
- Prompt the user for an email address, and then parse it to determine the user's security domain.
- Examine the ClaimsPrincipal object for the user's current session.
- In the scenario described in this chapter, the Adatum federation provider trusts ACS, which in turn trusts the social identity providers such as Windows Live and Google. Why does the Adatum federation provider not trust the social identity providers directly?
- It's not possible to configure the Adatum federation provider to trust the social identity providers because the social identity providers do not make the certificates required for a trust relationship available.
- ACS automatically performs the protocol transition.
- ACS is necessary to perform the claims mapping.
- Without ACS, it's not possible to allow Adatum employees to access the application over the web.

Lex
Lex is an actively used grammar language created in 1975. Lex is a computer program that generates lexical analyzers ("scanners" or "lexers"). Lex is commonly used with the yacc parser generator. Lex, originally written by Mike Lesk and Eric Schmidt and described in 1975, is the standard lexical analyzer generator on many Unix systems, and an equivalent tool is specified as part of the POSIX standard. Read more on Wikipedia...
- Lex ranks in the top 10% of languages
- the Lex wikipedia page
- Lex first appeared in 1975
- file extensions for Lex include l and lex
- See also: yacc, unix, c, regex, bison, ragel

With the release of Vue 3.2 a new composition tool was made available for us, called
expose.
Have you ever created a component that needs to make a few methods and properties available to the template, but wish that those methods were private to the component and not being able to be called by the parent?
If you are building an open source component or a library, chances are you want to keep some of the internal methods private. Before Vue 3.2, this was not easy to accomplish since everything that was declared in the options API in
methods or
data for example was made publicly available so that the template could access it.
The same is true of the composition API. Everything that we return out of the
setup method can be accessed directly by the parent.
Composition API
Let’s look at a practical example. Imagine we have a component that creates a counter, and each second it updates that counter.
📃 MyCounter.vue
<template> <p>Counter: {{ counter }}</p> <button @Reset</button> <button @☠️</button> </template> <script> import { ref } from 'vue' export default { setup () { const counter = ref(0) const interval = setInterval(() => { counter.value++ }, 1000) const reset = () => { counter.value = 0 } const terminate = () => { clearInterval(interval) } return { counter, reset, terminate } } } </script>
From a composition point of view, I would like for parent components to be able to call the
reset method directly if needed — but I want to keep the
terminate function and the
counter ref only available to the component.
If we instantiate this component in a parent,
App.vue for example, and we attach a
ref to it, we can easily allow the parent to call the
reset method because it has been exposed along with
terminate when we returned it from setup.
📃 App.vue
<template> <MyCounter ref="counter" /> <button @Reset from parent</button> <button @Terminate from parent</button> </template> <script> import MyCounter from '@/components/MyCounter.vue' export default { name: 'App', components: { MyCounter }, methods: { reset () { this.$refs.counter.reset() }, terminate () { this.$refs.counter.terminate() } } } </script>
If we run this right now and click either the reset or terminate buttons on the parent, both will work.
Let’s be explicit about what we want to
expose to the parent so that only the
reset function is available.
📃 MyCounter.vue
<script> import { ref } from 'vue' export default { setup (props, context) { const counter = ref(null) const interval = setInterval(() => { counter.value++ }, 1000) const reset = () => { counter.value = 0 } const terminate = () => { console.log(interval) clearInterval(interval) } context.expose({ reset }) return { counter, reset, terminate } } } </script>
Notice that we added the
props and
context params to the setup function. We need to have the context available to us because this is where the
expose function lives. We could also use destructuring like so:
{ expose }.
Next, we use
context.expose to declare an object of elements that we want to expose to the parent that instantiates this component; in this case we are only going to make the
reset function available.
If we run the example again, and click the “Terminate from parent” button, we will get a JavaScript error.
Uncaught TypeError: this.$refs.counter.terminate is not a function
The terminate function is no longer available and our private API is now inaccessible.
Options API
I have purposely chosen to do the first example using the composition API because of the second use case of the
expose function, however I want you to know that it is also possible to use this method in the options API.
In order to write the above component with the declared
expose, we could rewrite it as follows.
📃 MyCounter.vue
export default { created () { ... }, data: () => ({ counter: null }), methods: { reset () { ... }, terminate () { ... } }, expose: ['reset'] }
Notice that we have added a new options API property
expose that allows us to pass in an array, where the string
'reset' is the name of the function that we are making publicly available.
Composition API Render functions
A very powerful and flexible way to create components is to leverage the power of render functions. This is not new to Vue 3, however with the creation of the composition API we now have the flexibility of returning the composition
h function directly from a setup method.
This poses a problem, because the whole
return statement in our
setup function is just the
h method with the nodes that the component is creating.
If at this point we choose to expose something to the parent, we have the inverse problem as the one we saw before. Nothing is being exposed because nothing is being returned except the DOM elements.
Let’s rewrite the
MyCounter.vue component to use this method.
📃 MyCounter.vue
<script> // The template has been deleted import { ref, h } from 'vue' export default { setup (props, context) { const counter = ref(0) const interval = setInterval(() => { counter.value++ }, 1000) const reset = () => { counter.value = 0 } const terminate = () => { clearInterval(interval) } // context.expose({ reset }) return () => h('div', [ h('p', `Counter: ${counter.value}`), h('button', { onClick: reset }, 'Reset'), h('button', { onClick: terminate }, 'Terminate') ]) } } </script>
Notice that we have imported
h from Vue at the top, since we need to use it to create our DOM elements.
I have also commented out the
context.expose method for now to illustrate the problem.
The return statement now replicates the DOM structure we had before with the
<template> and if we run the example we are able to click through the Reset and Terminate buttons on the element correctly.
However, if we click on the “Reset from parent” button now, we run into an error.
Uncaught TypeError: this.$refs.counter.reset is not a function
The
reset method is no longer being exposed since it’s not being returned by the
setup function. To fix this we need to uncomment our
context.expose call and make it available once again.
Wrapping up
The new
expose method is very intuitive and easy to implement in our components. It clears up a couple of very important composition problems that would have merited even a complete component rewrite in the past, so even if its not your day-to-day, go-to API, it’s something worth keeping nearby in your developer tool belt.

Hi,If there's already a project to bring Inline::C capability to Tcl, please point me at it. Otherwise, perhaps this could be the start of one.For those unfamiliar with what Inline::C is, it is a Perl module that allows you to embed C code within your Perl program -- for more information, look here:, tonight, I got to thinking: gee, it'd be nice to have something like this for Tcl. After giving it the "good ol' college try" (you know, I Googled two or three times and nothing came up) I couldn't find an implementation of Inline::C for Tcl. So, I said to myself: Tcl is awesome -- it shouldn't take me more than a minute or two to get a bare minimum snippet of Tcl code working that does what I want.So, here is my first whack at Inline::C for Tcl., if such a thing already exists, pointers would be appreciated. Otherwise, perhaps if others find this useful, we can get this added to Tcllib or it can stand on its own. I don't care either way.-- Dossy
Critcl and tcc4tcl do this and a lot more, but at 50 lines Dossy's code is worth preserving as an illustration of how simple it can be.Note that this is pure Tcl code, except the call to exec gcc. It assumes that your system is configured so GCC will see the correct Tcl headers.
# # $Id: inline.tcl,v 1.1.1.1 2003/08/24 04:23:14 dossy Exp $ # package require Tcl 8 namespace eval ::inline { ### Do I need anything here? } proc ::inline::c {procName body} { set fd [open /tmp/inline-c.c w] puts $fd [subst { #include <tcl.h> int ${procName}ObjCmd(clientData, interp, objc, objv) ClientData clientData; Tcl_Interp *interp; int objc; Tcl_Obj *CONST objv[]; { $body } int [string totitle $procName]_Init(interp) Tcl_Interp *interp; { Tcl_CreateObjCommand(interp, "$procName", ${procName}ObjCmd, NULL, NULL); return TCL_OK; } }] close $fd ### FIXME: Platform-dependent.

Feb 2013 update: in response to overwhelming popular opinion, SimpleMath has now been merged into the DirectX Tool Kit on Codeplex.
---
I am curious what folks think is the right long term home for the SimpleMath helper code?
- A post on my blog is fine
- The MSDN code gallery
- Merge it into DirectXTK (seems kinda weird to me, as SimpleMath isn't really a DirectX graphics helper like the other code in there)
- A standalone CodePlex project (also seems kinda weird, as SimpleMath is so small)
- Other?.
> maybe extend SimpleMath beyond a wrapper with giving the Color struct or a Color namespace all the color constants we're familiar with from the Xna.Framework.Graphics.Color struct
These are already provided by the core DirectXMath:
msdn.microsoft.com/…/ee415576%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Oh wow, somehow missed that transitioning from XNAMath. Sweet.
All the more reason SimpleMath bundled with DirectXTK would help complete a productivity vibe of using XNA since so many pieces are already there. Seeing it present as an option rather than an extension may help ease people from C# to C++.
But it'd also be ok if it was a separate CodePlex project. Even though DirectXTK doesn't depend on SimpleMath like it does DirectTex, would be nice if it linked to SimpleMath as an option.
It's such a useful wrapper though that it deserves more than being a blog post even if it'll need no further work.
NuGet package!?
I'd say merging it into DirectXTK, as yes its close to graphics, and lots of exposure.
It will be nice if Shawn and other former XNA developers create own NET-DirectX11 port like XNA. Or help people in MonoGame. However its a dreams. But C++ is very uncomfortable thing even in VS2012.
I vote for DirectXTK
My vote is DirectXTK
I'd say release it on CodePlex or github or whatever. Merging it in TK would be ok, but if it helps other people, releasing it seperately, users wouldn't have to deal with the unnecessary (for their purpose) code and dependancies and such of DXTK. and people who want it in their TK Project can include it
Created CodePlex Issue for this. Feel free to Up-Vote it :>

Programs are a sequence of instructions or statements. These statements form the structure of a C++ program. C++ program structure is divided into various sections, namely, headers, class definition, member functions definitions and main function.
Note that C++ provides the flexibility of writing a program with or without a class and its member functions definitions. A simple C++ program (without a class) includes comments, headers, namespace, main() and input/output statements.
Comments are a vital element of a program that is used to increase the readability of a program and to describe its functioning. Comments are not executable statements and hence, do not increase the size of a file.
C++ supports two comment styles: single line comment and multiline comment. Single line comments are used to define line-by-line descriptions. Double slash (//) is used to represent single line comments. To understand the concept of single line comment, consider this statement.
/ / An example to demonstrate single line comment It can also be written as
/ / An example to demonstrate
/ / single line comment
Multiline comments are used to define multiple lines descriptions and are represented as / * * /. For example, consider this statement.
/* An example to demonstrate
multiline comment */
Generally, multiline comments are not used in C++ as they require more space on the line. However, they are useful within the program statements where single line comments cannot be used. For example, consider this statement.
for(int i = 0; i<10; //loop runs 10 times i++)
Compiler ignores everything written after the single line comment and hence, an error occurs. Therefore, in this case multiline comments are used. For example, consider this statement.
for(int i = 0; i<10; /*loop runs 10 times */ i++)
Headers: Generally, a program includes various programming elements like built-in functions, classes, keywords, constants, operators, etc., that are already defined in the standard C++ library. In order to use such pre-defined elements in a program, an appropriate header must be included in the program. The standard headers contain the information like prototype, definition and return type of library functions, data type of constants, etc. As a result, programmers do not need to explicitly declare (or define) the predefined programming elements.
Standard headers are specified in a program through the preprocessor directive" #include. In Figure, the iostream header is used. When the compiler processes the instruction #inc1ude<iostream>, it includes the contents of iostream.
• cin (pronounced "see in") : It is the standard input stream that is associated with the standard input device (keyboard) and is used to take the input from users.
• cout (pronounced "see out") : It is the standard output stream that is associated with the standard output device (monitor) and is used to display the output to users.
• cerr (pronounced "see err") : It is the standard error stream that is associated with the standard error device (monitor) and is used to report errors to the users. The cerr object does not have a buffer (temporary storage area) and hence, immediately reports errors to users. '
• clog (pronounced "see log"): It is the buffered error stream that is associated with the standard error device (computer screen) and is used to report errors to users. Unlike cerr, clog reports errors to users only when the buffer is full
For many years, C++ applied C-style headers, that is, .h extension in the headers. However, the standard C++ library introduced new-style headers that include only header name. Hence, the most modem compilers do not require any extension, though they support the older .h extension. Some of C-style headers and their equivalent C++ style headers are listed in Table.
Namespace: Since its creation, C++ has gone through many changes by the C++ Standards Committee. One of the new features added to this language is namespace. A namespace permits grouping of various entities like classes, objects, functions and various C++ tokens, etc., under a single name. Different users can create separate namespaces and thus can use similar names of the entities. This avoids compile-time error that may exist due to identical-name conflicts.
The C++ Standards Committee has rearranged the entities of the standard library under a namespace called std. In Figure, the statement using namespace std informs the compiler to include all the entities present in the namespace std. The entities of a namespace can be accessed in different ways which are listed here.
• By specifying the using directive
using namespace std;
cout<<"Hello World";
• By specifying the full member name
std: :cout<<"Hello World";
• By specifying the using declaration
using std:: cout;
cout<<"Hello World";
As soon as the new-style header is included, its contents are included in the std namespace. Thus, all the modern C++ compilers support these statements.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
However, some old compilers may not support these statements. In that case, the statements are replaced by this single statement.
#include<iostream.h>
Main Function: The main () is a startup function that starts the execution of a c++ program. All C++ statements that need to be executed are written within main ( ). The compiler executes all the instructions written within the opening and closing curly braces' {}' that enclose the body of main ( ). Once all the instructions in main () are executed, the control passes out of main ( ), terminating the entire program and returning a value to the operating system.
By default, main () in C++ returns an int value to the operating system. Therefore, main () should end with the return 0 statement. A return value zero indicates success and a non-zero value indicates failure or error. | http://mail.ecomputernotes.com/cpp/introduction-to-oop/structure-of-a-cpp | CC-MAIN-2019-35 | refinedweb | 922 | 55.44 |

Bi-Polar Explorer Allison Leach | 55 p/n 4x5 polaroid negative | 2008
Gardiner-based photographer Allison Leach is obsessed with early 20th-century explorers. “There was so much of our world that was unexplored. It was such a romantic time as opposed to our time now, where it seems like everything’s been done,” Leach says. In 1999, Leach visited the Shackleton exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History. Expedition photographer Frank Hurley’s pictures of Antarctic adventurers filled the walls. Hurley’s glass-plate negatives inspired Leach to ask: “What happened to all the explorers that never got anywhere or found anything?” This led to the collection of tragic explorers, amalgamations of inadequate pioneers, and fantastical failures in Leach’s “Misfit Explorers” series. The cover photo, Bi-Polar Explorer, is based on Captain Robert Falcon Scott. In 1911, Scott and his crew took photos of themselves after their unsuccessful mission to be the first to reach the South Pole. Leach uses a 4x5 Polaroid 55 P/N press camera from the 1950s for the series. While Polaroid users usually only keep the positive side of the film, Leach salvages the negatives to process and print the photos. “The reason I used this film is because it looked like a glass-plate negative. That’s why I was drawn to it,” she says. This type of process makes the rough, deteriorated border around the photos. Raised in Houston, Leach studied at Rice University and Bristol University in London. Specializing in commercial and fine art photography, Leach has worked on assignment for People, EntertainmentWeekly, and Vanity Fair. After shooting a number of celebrities, including Jon Stewart, Tom Wolfe, and Joan Rivers, Leach learned the annoyances of the business. “It’s funny. When you work with celebrities, you get all this chatter before you meet them. Invariably, it’s always the converse of what you hear. With Joan Rivers, all I heard was, ‘Oh my god, she’s difficult,’ and when I met her, she was lovely. And then you’ll get a celebrity and you hear, ‘Oh, they’re great,’ and then they come on and they’re a nightmare,” she says. “Misfit Explorers” will be on display at Davis Orton Gallery in Hudson through July 31.;. —Zan Strumfeld

Think of the Children To the Editor: Aren’t any Democrat or liberal readers of Chronogram going to challenge Larry Beinhart’s optimistic statements in this magazine about our nation's leadership and how things are going? Is intellectual honesty dead in the Hudson Valley liberal community? With unemployment at 9.1 percent, which does not include those who have stopped looking for work; with banks holding over a million homes in foreclosure; with home values dropping like stones; with the anti-war president waging and escalating wars in Pakistan,Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya while making life miserable for tiny Israel, you would think somebody other than James Carville would start talking the truth. Are all you liberals out there afraid of being called racist if you criticize a biracial president? In our region, Larry Beinhart is one of the leaders of the media’s Obama denial movement. Find the one good thing in a hundred if you can and talk that up. Downplay the bad things and above all keep blaming Bush year after year after year. Larry and others like him get help from the mainstream media for sure. You’ll notice the TV news is no longer scrolling death tolls in the wars night after night. The death toll stuff is only for Republicans. Liberals who continue wars, escalate wars, and start wars win the Nobel Peace Prize for positive thoughts and eloquent teleprompter speeches. It’s time to think about saving the country you grew up in for your children. That’s far more important than keeping your dream of a successful Obama presidency alive. Obama has failed and he has failed in the most destructive way possible. The very survival of our nation can now be questioned. Get off the denial bandwagon and call it the way it is and do something to save your country. Ed Fertik, Philmont Columbia County Tea Party

It was taken by Greg Aiello. In the Phoenicia Community Pages, we printed some erroneous information about the Phoenicia Festival of the Voice. The festival is taking place August 4-7 with 18 events over four days. Rozz Morehead opens with a Gospel concert on Thursday night. Saturday night will feature a performance of Mozart’s “Don Giovanni� with an acclaimed cast, including Barry Banks and Morris Robinson; Metropolitan Opera maestro Steven White will conduct the Woodstock Chamber Orchestra for the opera. For more (correct!) information on the Phoenicia Festival of the Voice:. In an article on summer drinks, "Do Try This At Home," we inccorectly identified the vodka The Local uses in its Thai Boxer. It is Hangar One Kaffir Lime, not Ketel One Kaffir Lime. 7/11 ChronograM 13

A human being is a symbol of the laws of creation; in her there is evolution, involution, struggle, progress and retrogression, struggle between positive and negative, active and passive, yes and no... —Teilhard de Chardin “Come inside. It’s dinnertime!” I called to my son, who’s four, from the front porch. “No!” Came the definitive reply. He was riding laps around the house on his bicycle. “It’s time to stop playing,” I hollered after him. “Come inside and eat!” My voice got louder as he disappeared around the corner for the hundredth time. Standing on the porch alone, the sound of his no and my ineffectual response echoed in my ears. A couple laps and variations on the demand later he happily came in to eat, but I found myself savoring his clear and strong denial. Hearing the child’s unequivocal no, I recognized how often I am lamely fighting against more surreptitious no’s in myself. Mine are more wily than the fouryear-olds, hiding behind justifications, eluding confrontation, and furtively getting their way, in spite of all the reasoning, wrangling, and manipulation I can muster. We’ve all found ourselves in comical arguments with kids which distill to “Yes!” “No!” “Yes!” “No!” We hear the same arguments in ourselves and among fellow adults. We even see it playing out on the world stage, on which little boys with big guns seek to enforce their yesses on their opponents’ nos. This is how human beings functioning like children resolve every conflict— through the lens of domination and submission. If all that can be seen are two forces at work, for all intents and purposes, this unending conflict is the only option. An ancient aphorism puts it this way: “Every stick has two ends.” The tendency is to grab the end of the stick that is pleasant and desirable, and beat adversaries over the head with the other end. But the inevitable result is that the unpleasant end of stick swings around and whacks the wielder when he least expects it. Clinging to the pleasant yields automatic suffering in every case. Examples of this abound both personally and on a global scale. Staying up late drinking wine yields a headache in the morning; imperial domination of weaker people makes them want to destroy the oppressor; trying to break habits makes them return stronger. Isn’t it odd that as consciousness of the inevitable catastrophes associated with carbon emissions and climate change grows, the whole world burns ever more dirty fuel? But reconciling a conflict does not mean choosing the unpleasant like some kind of martyr.This is a perverse reaction to the natural impulse to seek pleasure, like the pre-enlightened Buddha’s renunciate buddies, who accused the Buddha of being a pushover for renouncing austerities and seeking the Middle Way. Instead, reconciling opposites is a matter of holding the yes and no in dynamic tension within the sphere of awareness. It is in this effort that the force that motivates the two forces is fused through the friction of their collision. It is a balancing of the stick precisely in the middle. Since we tend to gravitate toward the pleasant it does take a little compensatory effort to allow attention to go to the unpleasant. As the harmonizing force is called the Holy Reconciling, so too is the negative force—the no—called Holy Denying. In this sense we are invited to honor and respect that which resists us— not simply overcome it. There is a lesson in both old and new sciences that every event is comprised not of two but three forces. The third goes by various names. In atomic physics it is called the neutron; in Christianity it’s the Holy Ghost; in Vedanta it’s Sattva; in Taoism it’s the Tao; In Buddhism it’s the Dharma; in the Fourth Way it’s the Holy Reconciling. Essentially it’s a third force that allows the yes and the no to be transcended and reconciled to effect peace. Like the hand that holds down the fly while the other pulls the zipper up, the denying force needs to be our friend. There is only a conflict when we find ourselves identified with one or another side. When we take sides in any argument it is a clear sign that we have lost sight of the larger picture. We are missing the tripartite dynamic in our refusal to make friends with no. “Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God,” resounds the beatitude uttered on the mountain 2,000 years ago. The peacemakers are those who are able to channel the material of the Force Reconciling. Because they are established in the position of the impartial observer in themselves, they can be a channel for that peacemaking impulse in the world. —Jason Stern

Eye on the Prize The Bard Fiction Prize has been an ongoing concern for 10 years now. The prize is given to a published novelist under 40. Despite the fact that Nina Shengold, our books editor, believes the prize is slightly discriminatory— Nina published her first (award-winning!) novel, Clearcut, after the cut-off age was just past—she interviewed two Bard winners for this issue, Edie Meidav (Crawl Space) and Karen Russell (Swamplandia!). Nina, with her novelist’s ear for dialog, gets some gems out of the writers. Russell, a native of Miami: “I didn’t realize you have to be a paleontologist of your car, hacking it out of layers of snow.” Meidav, on the linear nature of existence: “As you proceed in life, certain avenues open and can’t be closed. Every choice you make opens one thing and closes three others.” For the profiles in the Books section, Nina is joined by Jennifer May, who shoots the author portraits each month. Our dynamic duo recently won an Independent Publisher Book Award for River of Words: Portraits of Hudson Valley Writers, their collection of author profiles, most of which originated in these pages. Well done! I’m not at all surprised. (Books, page 52)

A recent study has shown that between 2004 and 2008, there was a 20 percent increase in American women giving birth at home. With most of the rise occurring in non-Hispanic white women, home births statistically show an improvement in birth outcomes: Both preterm and low-birth-weight infants have dropped over 15 percent. In the 25 states studied, 87 percent of home births were planned. Home births make up less than 1 percent of United States births. Source: NPR Forty years after President Nixon launched the War on Drugs, a June 2 report by a private global commission on drug policy lead by ex-Brazilian president Fernando Henrique Cardoso declared that the drug war has failed. In response, the White House drug policy office said the United States’ overall drug use has dropped to half of what it was in the late '70s. In the past five years, there has also been a 46 percent decrease in cocaine use among young adults and a 68 percent drop in employees testing positive for cocaine. The commission recommended ideas like offerring health and treatment services to those in need, as well as investing in activities to prevent young people from taking drugs in the first place. However, the White House said there were no plans for legalization because “illegal drug use is associated with voluntary treatment admissions, fatal drugged driving accidents, mental illness, and emergency room admissions.” Source: USA Today
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, cosmetic procedures among men rose 2 percent to more than 1.1 million since last year. Hoping to maintain their youth or enhance masculine features, men are undergoing surgeries for face-lifts and body fat reductions. Men are also receiving temporary treatments like Botox injections. Baby boomers make up a large portion of these clients. However, 75 percent of the 18,000 men who had gynecomastia, a male breast reduction, were between the ages of 13 and 19. Although new technology allows outpatient treatment and less recovery time, studies show that male patients are either not as tolerant to pain or are less satisfied with their results than women. Men are also becoming less shy about cosmetic surgery, unlike a decade ago when they would enter through the back door of a doctor’s office, according to Manhattan dermatologist Howard Sobel. Source: Wall Street Journal The United States, Australia, and Italy are among the 10 countries with the highest income inequality in the world. Released in a 2011 report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, one of the greatest effects of the economic crisis is the growing rate of income inequality around the globe. There has also been a significant increase of income inequality in countries like Germany and Sweden, which, prior to this past decade, had historically low levels of income inequality. Source: Huffington Post Millionaire households are on the rise, growing 12.2 percent in the past year, according to a report by the Boston Consulting Group. The United States leads the field with 5.2 million millionaire households, followed by 1.5 million millionaire households in Japan. Singapore has 15.5 percent millionaire households, making it the country with the largest percentage of millionaires. Though the millionaires represent only 0.9 percent of the world’s population, they control 39 percent of the world’s wealth. Source: Wall Street Journal A new survey by the National Governors Association and the National Association of State Budget Officers found that higher education, elementary and high schools, transportation, and other areas are facing billions of dollars in budget cuts as well as rising taxes or fees. The survey found that states expect to collect less tax revenue while also spending less money in the coming fiscal year. The cost of Medicaid is also rising due to many people losing their jobs and their health insurance. However, improving state tax collections is still not enough to make up for the end of the federal stimulus money. The report also found that in the coming year, states will only have about $2.8 billion in federal stimulus money for balancing their budgets, a drastic decline from the $51 billion this year.

Although police waited until after the food was served, three members of the international Food Not Bombs movement were arrested on June 1 in Lake Eola Park in Orlando for illegally feeding the homeless. The three were charged with violating the city’s ordinance that restricts group feedings in public parks. The ordinance applies to feeding more than 25 people and the members had fed 40. Each person received a $250 fine, but unlike the other two who were released from jail early, Douglas Coleman is staying in jail and will let the legal process take its course. Source: Orlando Sentinel On June 3, the United Nations AIDS agency said in a new report that increased funding for early treatment of people with HIV could significantly reduce the number of infections spread through sexual transmission. After a nine-nation study that showed that HIV medicines can make patients less infectious, patients getting earlier treatment also showed that they were 96 percent less likely to spread the virus to their partners. Billions of dollars will be needed to obtain the agency’s vision for the future— “zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination, and zero AIDS-related deaths.” The report also said that in the last decade, there was a 25 percent decline in new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths. Source: Washington Post The late 20th century’s growth in farm output has slowed down so much that it is failing to keep up with the demand for food, due to population increase and the rise of affluence in once-poor countries. Consumption of wheat, corn, rice, and soybeans—the four main crops that supply the most human calories—has created an imbalance between supply and demand, where some grains have more than doubled in cost. These price jumps have increased hunger problems for tens of millions of poor people in countries like Yemen and Uzbekistan. Recent scientific research found that climate change is one of the main factors of the destabilized food system. Although scientists had predicted that climate change would be manageable for agriculture until around 2080, they now believe that some of the weather disasters like floods, droughts, and heat waves that destroyed harvests were caused by human-induced global warming. Source: New York Times State parks across the country at risk of closing are attempting new strategies to stay open, including trying new fees, becoming more volunteer-heavy, and pushing to drill for oil and gas beneath trails. Since 2008, state park finances have been cut significantly, with some parks closing altogether; in a news release on May 13, California announced they will permanently close 70 of the 278 state parks this fall. In states like Washington, parks are no longer receiving state money and will instead implement new entrance fees to the parks. If a bill is approved by the Ohio legislature, drilling for oil and gas will be allowed in Ohio’s parks—the parks would directly benefit from revenues.

Larry Beinhart’s Body Politic
THE LAST WEINER YOU’LL EVER NEED
Once again it has been rubbed in our face, a political penis escaped from its place a scandal, an outrage, an erectile disgrace, this tale of a penis caught off its base. It’s happened again, as it happened before, a wandering penis off in search of some more. The pundits swarm out in their pack to deplore the politician caught while trying to score. Clinton was my favorite I must confess, Monica’s knee padsigslist, and now he’s gone, but not at all missed. John Edwards had a sordid and tragic affair, a videographer fell in love with his hair. Eliot Spitzer paid more than we knew a man could, is it possible there’s a hooker that could. Is it the fault of the liberals, the hippies, the Jews? repression, recession, the fault of the news? Could we have avoided all of these dreadful disasters, if we listened to our priests and heeded our pastors? That sounds oh, very right, but perhaps it even worse is as pedophiles so often make their perches in churches. and powerful preachers have so very often lost their ways in those closets of clothes that are kept by the gays. The strict teaching of religion, to everyone’s great sorrow didn’t work yesterday and it won’t work tomorrow.
There’s a war in Afghanistan and one in Iraq. But what’s important is who is in whose sack. In underground bunkers they’re building nukes in Iran; in America, vamp, invite, and sashay, until the poor dick comes out to play. Women are always the victims, because they’re from Venus. Men are from Mars and it’s the fault of the penis. How should we get energy? Who can figure that out? Climate change, global warming, what that’s really about? That’s one of those issues that seems way too complex but at least we can be clear about who shouldn’t have sex. Who can fix the economy, correct the dire fiscal mess? Marital fidelity predicts who will have success. You wouldn’t let a plumber fix the pipes in your house if you knew he had been with someone who was not his spouse. You wouldn’t let a mechanic change the brakes on your car if you knew with some girl he’d gone a little too far. You would never let a surgeon cut into your abdomen unless you were certain he was too pure to sin. This needs to be solved, this needs a real fix, we need a new combination, we need a new mix to save the world from men getting their kicks. And the news media full of nothing but pricks. To find salvation, a method that really will work we go back to the old day of the Ottoman Turk. With a powerful empire, so rich, wide, and vast, to run it they needed. Don’t worry about this new political class they will still be able to talk out of their ass. We are already ruled by the confused and the witless It will be so much better if they also made dickless. 7/11 ChronograM 21
The House

Living Monolith Peggy’s Dome
By Jennifer Farley Photographs by Deborah DeGraffenreid
A
lifetime of living on the edge propelled Peggy Atwood—a stellar chanteuse, sometime legal secretary, and forever daughter of an Army colonel diplomat—into the smooth squash-shaped domes of “Outpost Planet Earth,” her Kerhonkson dream home. The learning curve was treacherous and expensive. Peggy probably spent $100,000 more than necessary due to various contractor errors, absenteeism, and omissions. Atwood has about $450,000 in the 3,200-square-foot custom home, which sits on three scenic acres. The house is warm in the winter yet cool in the summer. Atwood brags that her total annual energy bill for 2010 was just $2,000. It’s ironic that commissioning the most cavelike of domiciles—a veritable lunar module, as it were—got complicated. Moreover, Atwood’s house, technically a “monolithic dome,” is made almost entirely of concrete, steel reinforcing bar, and polyurethane insulation foam, hardly exotic construction materials in 21st-century America. Undaunted, Atwood’s turning the lessons she learned into a dome-construction consulting business. (Monolithic, by the way, literally means “big rock.”) “There’s no better structure in all the world” than a monolithic dome, claims Atwood, a native Californian. “It’s an idea who’s time has finally come.” Close calls with a couple of natural disasters—a Nashville tornado and a Catskills forest fire—ignited Atwood’s desire to build what FEMA rates as the safest type of aboveground building. Theoretically, Atwood’s home could stand for centuries, resisting catastrophes, rot, and even termites. “I was raised on survival. My father was in the diplomatic service overseas 22 home ChronograM 7/11
and he would ship us off ” to wilderness-skill summer camps, says Atwood, who both loves and fears nature. She’s also spent a lot of time studying issues such as global warming. Living in such a secure structure nurtures the artist’s sense of peace. Atwood made some money renovating conventional homes. She also grew up immersed in other cultures. She’s seen a lot of the world. Her family moved to Czechoslovakia when she was a toddler. Atwood attended high school in Beirut. But before deciding on a monolithic dome, Atwood carefully considered many other types of environmentally friendly new construction. Cordwood, straw bale, rammed earth, earthships, geodesic domes, sandbag structures and yurts “all had their weaknesses,” she says. Monolithic domes are earth-friendly and easily maintained. The concrete’s thermal mass keeps the interior temperature stable. Properly constructed, they’re actually reasonably priced for custom residential. What’s tricky is the installation of exterior windows and doors a curvilinear façade. Barring expertise, they’ll leak. Atwood learned about that the hard way. Influenced by John Denver Disillusioned by the Kent State massacre, Atwood dropped out of college in Vermont and moved to Colorado. Someone asked the blonde beauty to organize a reception for a newly famous John Denver, also the child of a stern and itinerant military officer. Denver later built a “far-out” solar-powered home in Aspen and established a sustainable-living foundation.

“John Denver was a really big influence on me,” says Atwood. “People thought we were kind of wacko in the seventies, but now they’ve come around.” Atwood has always eaten organic and lived fairly simply. As a songwriter, her music carries a message of environmental and social justice. Critically acclaimed as a singer and guitarist, Atwood recently made two albums and sometimes performs at the Bearsville Theater. She describes her style as “Northern Country.” But Atwood’s music-royalty income—some of which comes from television—isn’t quite enough to live on. To make ends meet, she works parttime in a law office. She’s also an expert at cleaning up all sorts of small business administration and bookkeeping issues. That’s why she plans to advise people in this area about building monolithic domes. Rising fuel costs should spur demand. Atwood’s working on a deal to provide general contracting services to would-be dome builders with a real estate developer in Saugerties, whom she declines to name. It’s in the development stage. Dome Construction Basics The premier company behind homes like Atwood’s is Texas-based Monolithic. Its educational arm, the Monolithic Dome Institute, was founded by David South, the dome’s co-inventor. Since 1970, Monolithic’s built domes all over the world and in all climates, but most are in the hot and arid Southwest. Large domes make great community buildings like churches, arenas, and gymnasiums—potential gathering places for refuge in a natural disaster. Monolithic dome construction begins with digging and pouring a ring-like foundation. That outline gets attached to an airtight, heavy-duty airform— something like a custom-made balloon. Monolithic makes the airforms and provides other support, but as a rule the homeowner must hire the contractors. Next the airform is inflated, creating a gigantic bubble. That’s coated from inside with insulating foam. Steel bars are inserted vertically into the foundation ring. A thick layer of concrete solidifies everything.The exterior is finished with stucco. If nothing goes wrong, the various layers that make a monolithic dome go up pretty quickly. Work began on Atwood’s around Labor Day, 2003.When winter hit, it was too cold to spray and cure the 160 tons of concrete the dome required. During this angst-filled winter, Atwood lived in a trailer nearby. At the construction site, Atwood had to keep the electricity on even during snowstorms, to maintain the airform’s inflation. She bought a generator. If snow had built up on the 23-foot-high roof, the intermediary structure might have collapsed. “Start early!” she advises. A Little Crazy is Helpful Building a monolithic dome in the Northeast proved a much greater challenge and financial drain than Atwood anticipated. While the singer was able to self-finance the construction, mistakes sent the project wildly over budget. It’s still not quite finished. Atwood had to take a break. Keeping things green, inside she’s used wood from trees cleared from her own property, milled by a friendly neighbor. But much trim work—largely ornamental but required for that flawless decor look—remains undone. Banks don’t want to finance monolithic domes because it’s hard to establish appraisal comparables, says Atwood. In mortgage lending, a comparable is a house of similar size and age, in a 20-mile radius of the property to be financed, that has sold in the last 24 months. Atwood hopes greater awareness of monolithic domes’ many positive attributes will make lenders more willing in the future. If a bit rough around the edges, Atwood’s house is still very beautiful. Situated in a field, surrounded by pristine state-owned woodlands, the fantasy contemporary architecture presents a visually intriguing juxtaposition. She loves viewing the stream from her living room couch. “I originally named it “Mountain Mist,” but once it was finished, it needed something otherworldly,” says Atwood. “Some have called it “The Grand Peanut.’” Most people who inquire about Atwood’s unique home are quite polite. She directs the seriously curious to her website,, for more information. During building, Atwood says she continually questioned her sanity. But now she never wants to live in a “stick-built” house ever again. She’s since heard much worse stories of dome construction than her own. “As my dear departed father was so fond of saying, ‘You don’t have to be crazy—but it helps!’”

The Graciousness of Gardeners
Ann Krupp Bryan Garden
The Open Days program, begun in 1995 by the Garden Conservancy, is a gem.You get to visit some of the most creative and ambitious gardens in the area, with the proceeds going to support the Conservancy, whose mission is “preserving America’s exceptional gardens for the education and enjoyment of the public.” Luckily for us Hudson Valleyites, the East Coast headquarters for the Garden Conservancy is in Cold Spring, as is the property of the organization’s founder, Francis Cabot. The site is now a stunningly creative public garden, Stone Crop Gardens. The Cold Spring roots of the Conservancy means that many of the most longstanding Open Days gardens are in the Hudson Valley or nearby towns in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and other Northeast states (although there are participating gardens around the country, including a big California contingent). Each year, 50 percent of the gardens are new to the tour, yet there are also many repeat hosts, resulting in a touring guidebook that is getting delightfully chunky. In 2011, Dutchess County posted eight gardens for Open Days, half of which can still be toured in July and August. Ulster County has seven, two of which can be seen in September; Putnam County has three, two of which are open in October; and there are seven Open Days gardens in Columbia County, two yet to appear on the tour— one in July, one in August. In Berkshire County, Massachusetts, there are seven gardens open on Saturday, July 31, in Great Barrington, Stockbridge, or Williamstown. In Litchfield County, Connecticut you can see more than a dozen Open Gardens, including five in July and one in September. In Fairfield County, Connecticut, there are 10 open gardens, including two that you can see in July. When you become a member of the Garden Conservancy for as little as $50, you receive a touring guidebook and can buy tickets for just $2.50 each (half the price of nonmember tickets). My husband and I feel it’s the best investment in our continuing education (and horticultural delight) we have ever made. Open Days garden tours go through the fall.
Ann Krupp Bryan and her husband renovated a Catholic church in rural Saugerties to make their dream home, a fantastic backdrop for Ann’s perennial borders. Ann is self-taught but the degree of horticulturist should be conferred on her; the gardens are a marvelous celebration of contrasts in sun and shade foliage plants, with flowers used as strategic accents. In addition to gardening for more than 20 years on the site, she has built numerous handsome dry-stone walls.

the golden dawn redwood grove in the bevacqua-king garden
Then we went outdoors and enjoyed the unconventional garden tour Dun set updifferent colors of yarn that visitors could follow from one garden space to the next in a series of minitours. According to her Open Days description, Dun says, “My first priority as a gardener is to create a good place to be, a place that feels inviting, a playful and magical park. It’s at all times a workshop, a long dialogue with Place, rather than the design-and-install approach.”
the bevacqua-king garden in hudson
We are still vibrating from our visit to the two-acre Hudson garden of designer Peter Bevacqua and his partner, Stephen King. Bevacqua says of his gardens, “I hope to illustrate the importance of a strong underlying structure; a focus on form and texture; and the concept of laying out a garden formally, then informally planting it.” Bevacqua encourages vines to use shrubs as support, a technique not so often seen in American gardens. Here, a clematis (Clematis) finds its way up a purple smokebush (Cotinus).

My husband enters the magical golden dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides Gold Rush) grove planted by Bevacqua. Dawn redwoods are very adaptable to a variety of stresses yet fast growing and sturdy. They are related to West Coast redwoods but don’t get nearly as big. They are deciduous conifers, meaning they lose their leaves in winter and bear little cones. This sofa garden feature is but a glimpse into the creative mind of Lena Dun, proprietor of Moresca Clothing and Costume in Ulster Park. Before we toured her theatrical gardens, Thunder Lane, we got to see her warehouse of Renaissance-period clothing made on-site: dresses, capes, bodices, and more made with beautiful textiles and workmanship. Perusing those racks was a visual feast.

Owing to the graciousness and creativity of the garden hosts, my husband and I frequently feel like kids on these tours, exploring new worlds. To be honest, we don’t love every garden. But when we come upon kindred spirits and get to hang out with them among their plants and soulful, expressive gardens—that just doesn’t get any better.

erhaps more now than at any time in the past several decades, property holds a singularly cherished premium to its owners. The often confounding story surrounding the past 10 years of homeownership in the Hudson Valley—the exodus from NewYork City following 9/11, the meltdown of the housing market and it delicately hopeful journey back to solidity—has only enhanced the fierce devotion we have to our space.Yet for all of us devotees— indeed, maybe most dauntingly for those of us who have recently traded our apartment keys for our own plot of heaven—there is one essential question: What, exactly, should we actually do with all this wonderful space? Landscape designer Gina Samarotto offers sage advice, though not nearly as simple as it sounds. “You know what you have to do?” says Samarotto with a knowing smile, “you have to live in the space.” The roots of Samarotto’s joy of her craft come from a journey built first of necessity, then of love. Twenty years ago she found herself faced with the same conundrum, having moved from her Yonkers condominium to her first home in Orange County. Though it was scarcely half an acre, the prospect of making the land her own was intimidating. “To me, it was like Strawberry Fields in Central Park,” Samarotto recalls. “What am I going to with all of this? It forced me to start educating myself.” The then-marketing designer first became immersed in her local garden club; and, discovering both an inherent kinship with the outdoors and a burgeoning passion for the work, soon after enrolled in Cornell University’s Master Gardener program. She left her 15-year marketing career behind, and began judging gardening shows, consulting, and writing and speaking about landscape design in various newspapers and radio shows. Immediately apparent, five minutes after meeting Gina Samarotto, is what may be the most engaging element of her artisanship: She loves your space as much as you do, and her enthusiasm about unlocking it’s potential is infectious. Though she honed her skills as the primary designer with renowned Wilton, Connecticut design firm Glen Gate, creating large scale, multimillion dollar projects, no property is too small to elicit Samarotto’s trademark ardor. “I’ve learned something along the way,” Samarotto asserts, “that money can’t buy you style, and it can’t buy you taste.” Now operating her own Samarotto Design Group, based in Poughkeepsie, the designer maintains that her favorite work is to guide more modest homeowners in inventing a space that is both captivating and functional, as well as a reflection of that particular owners individuality. Equally as valuable as her extensive knowledge of root and branch, as well as interior design techniques—Samarotto is a member in good standing of both the American Society of Interior Designers and Landscape Architects—is Samarotto’s commitment to knowing her clients, to listening and learning about their aesthetic. Most importantly in any home, says Samarotto, is purpose in design. “There has got to be a reason to be somewhere,” she exclaims with conviction. “You’re paying to maintain a property—it’s a tragedy to buy it and not to use it, not to love it.” —Gregory Schoenfeld Samarotto Design Group (800) 797-0598;

The Item
Stunning homes deserve stunning landscapes.
Recycled hard maple two-person bench with cedar pads and antique tools welded to armrest pegs by Jesse Reimer of Stone Back Benches in Saugerties.
Sly Stones Using tools and scrap metal compiled from the Hudson Valley, artist Jesse Reimer makes sculptures, stone-back and wooden-back benches, tables, and steel gates. Through a combination of woodwork, metalwork, and welding, Reimer creates comfortable and intricate pieces like the stone-back bench made of sugar maple and creek stone. Reimer’s benches and tables can be placed inside the home, but because of the weight, they are more practical as patio furniture or by swimming pools. Each product ranges in price according to size and intricacy; sculptures, $150-$5,000; recycled gates, $1,500-$15,000; one-ofa-kind projects like creating a bench from trees removed by specialists Arbor Barber, $350-$15,000. 1795 Route 212, Saugerties.

ROSENDALE Enchanted Playground

There’s a deceptively sleepy feeling to Rosendale.
natalie keyssar
On a weekday morning, there might be only a couple of people stirring around Main Street at any given moment, more action on the porch of the Crossroads Deli in Cottekill out in and down around Stewarts than in the center of town. Then suddenly, it’s playtime—show time, dinner time, music time, or, best of all, festival time—and Main Street rises like the Delaware and Hudson Canal where it used to flood at the center of town. Folks from the hamlets and the hills beyond pour in, locals pop out to inhabit comfy porches or are pulled into the current of the street. Any given weekend, the action might be centered around the theater, the café, the community center, the Red Brick Tavern, or the Bywater Bistro or all of the above and more, but all of a sudden the town is visibly pulsating with sweet, quirky life.

•A Dreamy Town•
When the family that had run the Rosendale Theatre for three generations needed to move on after keeping a night at the movies far more affordable and intelligent in this pocket-size town than it is at your nearest multiplex, the community didn’t whine and wring its collective hands. Not this town. They organized. They fund-raised. They reached out to friends far and near and great and small, bombarded the Pepsi Refresh website with determined voters, and bought themselves their theater. Now The Rosendale Theatre Collective, it makes a splendid venue for area crews like Starling Productions, who recently had a smash hit there with “Too Much Information.” Such fun was had with “TMI,” in fact, that a Story Slam based on the concept is coming to Market Market this month. The gray gold of Rosendale’s Natural Cement has given way to a rainbow of realized dreams, the 18 bars downtown to a wider variety of ways to have fun, but some things haven’t changed and probably won’t. Rosendale’s still welcoming vacationers—the venerable Astoria Hotel is being reborn as a B&B, christened The 1850 House. It’s still a great place to work hard and play hard, with a natural beauty that outshines artifice, far more than skin deep. And like the gray gold, the boundless creativity and sense of sheer fun that is Rosendale could well be a key ingredient in the foundations of tomorrow’s better world.

w w w.t h e 1 8 5 0 h o u se . c om •ROSENDALE NATURAL CEMENT• It was gray gold, that natural cement. It rocked the building world and made possible what had been impossible before, making things better and stronger—things like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the United States Capitol. The little town on the canal was a busy and prosperous place and curiously blessed. In 1899, the mine collapsed—while every man on the job was outside having lunch. People worked hard and played hard and didn’t bother much about appearances. Even the resorts and hotels that lured the city folks were good, solid places to swim and fish in the daytime, eat and dance at night, breathe good air, and make friends. Then came Portland cement, and the Rosendale variety lost the mass market. The last mine closed in 1970, leaving a honeycomb of caves under the surface and a triple handful of bars on Main Street. The town took a deep breath and wondered what to do next, and by the end of the decade, a street festival was born.

The Festival Town does those moments exceptionally well, with something for everyone. If you want a solid family dinner and to browse a few nifty shops, can do. Gourmet vegetarian and jazz? Check. Avantgarde film? Maybe, if there’s no live performance on the stage that night. Sipping wine in a creekside garden into the wee hours? But of course. The whole point of Rosendale is doing it your way. Doing it their way, Dietrich and Gayle Werner moved into the estate of Andrew J. Snyder’s—the last of the cement barons—researching, restoring the property into a museum and event space in 1991. The estate is located in the Rosendale National Cement Historic District and offers tours that include the Widow Jane Mine, cement kilns, and the D&H Canal. The museum is currently presenting “Atomic Rosendale: From Mushrooms to Mushroom Clouds,” a worthy complement to the subterranean creative explosions that have rocked the Widow Jane Mine over the years. Japanese drummers, rock climbers, hydrogeologists, poets, and mad revelers of all sorts love to inhabit the Widow Jane. Almost anything can be an event space in Rosendale, and usually is. Want to throw a shindig in a restored 1896 chapel? The Belltower’s all yours. From the geothermal community center—where the parking lot fills to overflowing for everything from memorials to benefit jam sessions to contentious hearings to swim meets and a farmers’ market beckons each Sunday, June through October—on to Market Market, where you can order a bahn mi sandwich and a beer while local favorites like Big Sister rock out—to the Rosendale Café and its steady stream of national acts like Erin McKeown and Fred Eaglesmith, the rebranding of Rosendale as the Festival Town was as natural as the cement beneath its surface.

(845) 546-5358 I first picked up Chronogram years ago when I used to just visit the area. The content of the magazine contributed greatly to my family moving up here. I am always inspired by the articles and the coverage of arts and culture in the Hudson Valley. I read it to keep my finger on the pulse of what is happening. I also love the covers and the design of the magazine. Very moving!

But don’t make the mistake of waiting for an official festival to explore. Dinner and a movie, the Rosendale way, is something to be savored any time. On the southeast end of town, Toad Holly is a bar/restaurant serving eclectic American fare. The Postage Inn offers classic Continental American and pub fare. On Main Street, the Red Brick Tavern is hospitable Old Rosendale, comfy as your favorite jeans, and the Bywater Bistro beckons you with garden seating and upscale fusion dishes like herbed tuna steak with tapenade. There’s great food to take home, too—or snack on before or after a shopping expedition. Twisted Foods offers handmade pretzels with ambrosial toppings (try the homemade cream cheese). Any cheese fan should, of course, experience the international selection at the Big Cheese—and while you’re there, browse the thrift shop. Rosendale’s shops are creative art in their own way. The colorful façade of Vision of Tibet beckons you into a sphere of handcrafted beauty from the other side of the world. Next door, Favata’s Table Rock Tours and Bicycles combines an old-fashioned level of service with the absolute latest in pedal sports gear and guidance. Roos Arts showcases fresh and thought provoking contemporary art. In Tillson, Judy Go Vintage is a bonanza for lovers of retro-boho clothes and furnishings. Rosendale’s also a great place to find certain basics: carpet and auto parts, for example, sold by people who love their customers and know their products. In Rosendale, even the Dollar Store has a community feel. rosendale wine & spirits bobby shen and mary lee

•Best Fests•
The Rosendale Street Festival (July 23-34) has been re-reinvented like a master chef’s soup, with mass quantities of live music and cool people being the basic broth. You never know when someone will invent a new variation; the year after Katrina saw a Mardi Gras, and 2010 a Zombie Crawl. The Pickle Fest (November 20) is a Rosendale classic that draws thousands from near and far. Then there are Frozendale (December), the Chili Bowl Fiesta (February), the Earthfest and Energy Expo (May), the celebrations of ancient holy days at the Beltane Festival (May)—in fact, there are more than a dozen festivals, and counting, celebrated each year in town. In between festivals, studies of all sorts are a popular pastime. The Women’s Studio Workshop, almost 40 years young and the largest publisher of hand-printed artists’ books in the United States, offers papermaking, printmaking, book arts, photography, and ceramics in summer intensives and private instruction year round. The Canaltown Alley Arts and Learning Center teaches voice, music, theater and healing arts. The folks at the Center for Symbolic Studies delve deep into the work of Joseph Campbell and shamanic wisdom. There’s also a trapeze school on the grounds. This being Rosendale, the education tends to have a festive edge and the festivities are often educational. ADVERTISer RESOURCES Acupuncture & Natural Medicine

Big Sister
Dar Williams
A
girl sits on the edge of her bed. She’s overwhelmed by the looming adult world before her, wracked with the confusion that comes with trying to figure out her place in it. Or, really, if she even wants any part of it at all. Hell, she’s still not even sure exactly who she is yet, much less what everyone else wants of her. Her head and her heart combine to form a churning cauldron of a million conflicting thoughts, about society, sexuality, politics, spirituality, careers, the planet. She feels like she’s drowning. And very much alone. But songs help. Especially beautifully crafted, movingly sung songs that come from the perspective of someone who’s been right where she is now and made it through—and become a stronger, more aware, and more self-assured person in the process. Songs like “It’s Alright,” “As Cool as I Am,” “The Great Unknown,” and “Buzzer.” Dar Williams’s songs. One of pop folk’s leading singer-songwriters, Williams is beloved for her questioning and deeply personal narratives; tunes whose wry, minutely focused observations—often quite humorous in their irony—pinpoint the poetry and paradoxes of everyday life. Her steadfast stance and frequent addressing of gender issues have made her a paragon of the so-called women’s music 48 music ChronograM 7/11
movement, a mantle she never consciously courted but one she’s worn with pride since the identity-straddling “When I Was a Boy,” from her 1993 debut, The Honesty Room (reissued in 1995 by Razor & Tie Records, home to all her subsequent albums), became an anthem for many. “I’ve always been a feminist, but I really lucked out by being embraced by such a passionate and seriously committed audience so early on,” says Williams, who lives in Cold Spring with her husband, Michael Robinson, and their two children. “I guess [“When I Was a Boy”] sort of came out of me being a tomboy as a kid in the ’70s, and picking up on the androgyny of everyone with their Dorothy Hamill/John Denver hairdos.” This kind of vivid imagery comes naturally to Williams, a storyteller at heart. In addition to the story-songs that fill her 11 official albums, she’s authored two novels targeted at young girls (2004’s Amalee and 2008’s Lights, Camera, Amalee; both, Scholastic Books), a road guide for natural foodies (The Tofu Tollbooth; Ceres Press, 1998), and, now, a children’s play, “The Island Musical.” Given the “liberal and loving” and very literate Chappaqua household in which she was raised, it’s not too hard to see where her love of words and the performing arts stems from.
“My dad went to Yale and was a medical writer and editor, and my mom went to Vassar and worked with Planned Parenthood, which I’m very proud of,” says the singer, who was born Dorothy Snowden Williams in 1967 and whose nickname is a family truncation of that of the character Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. “We had a lot of classical albums, a lot of show tunes, all alphabetized. I loved the Beatles, Jim Croce, Crosby, Stills and Nash; poets who wrote melodic, story-based songs. I remember really being into my vocabulary books when I was in sixth grade, and I guess that’s when I really started to fall in love with words.” Williams began learning guitar at age nine and wrote her first songs soon after, yet by high school she’d become more interested in sports. But when an ankle injury landed her on the bench she took to theater, writing plays and stage music. By her senior year she seemed to have found her voice as a playwright, and was on her way to majoring in theater and religion at Wesleyan University. It all sounds pretty idyllic, so where does the angst come in? “I finally had my rebellion when I was 21, just trying to relate to the world,” says Williams, adding that she contemplated suicide in college but was yanked out of the predicament when a romantically beleaguered friend called her for emotional help. “I think of what Erik Erikson wrote about Martin Luther, who came from a privileged background but was discontented because, basically, he was just a really sensitive person. Besides finding music there was also some intense therapy, thank God.” After graduating from college and spending a few months in Berkeley, California, where she played some tenuous early gigs, Williams moved to Boston in 1990. There, she acted in and directed a handful of plays and operas before becoming the stage director of the Opera Company of Boston. “It was a dark time for theater in Boston then,” she says. “You had [alternative weekly] the Boston Phoenix just savaging any productions that weren’t from New York. But the music scene was great, and underneath it there were still the bones of the great folk scene Boston had back in the ’60s.” Her voice teacher, the improbably named Jeannie Diva, prodded her to begin playing Beantown coffeehouses and she recorded a couple of self-issued cassettes. Chicago’s Waterbug label released The Honesty Room to rapturous praise that found Williams’s beautiful voice compared to those of two of her heroines, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez. And it was an eventual connection with the latter folk icon that would kick the young singer-songwriter’s career into hyperdrive, when Williams opened for an impressed Baez and the two immediately struck up a friendship and later toured together.The elder artist even ended up covering a couple of Williams’s songs, most famously “You’re Aging Well,” the confessional tale of a woman grappling with adolescent self-image, societal expectations, and the onset of age: “Why is it that as we grow older and stronger / the road signs point us adrift and make us afraid / saying ‘You never can win,’ ‘Watch your back,’ ‘Where’s your husband?’” The song ends, quite appropriately in the case of Williams and Baez, with the narrator being welcomed into enlightenment by an older female mentor. “Again, I feel so lucky to have had something like [Baez’s recording the song] happen for me so early on,” Williams says. “Joan is so gracious and kind, and she’s really great about tamping down the behind-the-scenes craziness when we play together. She’s, like, ‘Screw all this, let’s go shopping!’” Following a move to Northampton, Massachusetts, came a fuller, folk rock sound with 1995’s Mortal City. With such sardonic pieces as “The Christians and the Pagans,” which finds a lesbian couple sharing the holidays and finding much in common with some conservative relatives, and “The Pointless, Yet Poignant, Crisis of a Co-Ed,” an uproarious look at collegeactivist idealism, the disc made Williams acres of new fans. Among Mortal City’s contributing players are modern folk legends John Prine and Cliff Eberhardt, the latter then one of Williams’s Western Massachusetts neighbors. “Dar is such a very expressive, forgiving, positive personality,” says Eberhardt, who also performed with Cry Cry Cry, a folk supergroup centered on the trio of Williams, Lucy Kaplansky, and Richard Shindell. “As a singersongwriter one of the things that strikes me most is her insight into how young people think and feel, which to me is really necessary.” Williams was invited by organizer Sarah McLachlan to perform on the inaugural Lilith Fair tour in 1997, the same year the more expansive End of the
Summer, home to such standouts as the late-night radio paean “Are You Out There?” appeared. Now based in New York, she continued to build her standing as a club and festival favorite and released 2000’s religion-examining The Green World and 2003’s The Beauty of the Rain, which contains guest spots from Alison Krauss, Bela Fleck, John Medeski, and Chris Botti. She and her family became Hudson Valley residents the year of the latter effort’s release. “We love it here because it’s this crossroads of nature, music, words, and people,” says Williams, an avid gardener who supports, among many other causes, local sustainability and organic farm-to-table efforts. Digging in locally, she recorded 2005’s cult smash My Better Self (featuring the river ode “The Hudson”) at Woodstock’s Allaire Studios and 2007’s Live at the Bearsville Theater DVD, while the booklet of the following year’s tellingly named Promised Land exhibits the work of area visual artists. In learning Williams’s personal history, the question naturally arises: Just what is it that attracts her to the art of storytelling? “That’s a good question,” she ponders, wrinkling the brow above a pair of recognizably striking pale blue eyes. “I guess it’s that storytelling, when it’s good, is never about one thing or idea. It’s about a conflict of ideas or truths. And the characters in a story exist to embody that conflict, to pull everything together. Putting a story out there is like throwing a rock in the water and watching it ripple.You hope it resonates with other people.” Her favorite storytellers? “Dickens, for sure, and Thomas Hardy, especially Jude the Obscure,” says Williams, whose most recent album, last year’s Many Great Companions, was co-produced by the Jayhawks’ Gary Louris and features a best-of disc and a disc of early songs revisited in strippeddown acoustic fashion. “George Elliot’s Middlemarch is probably my favorite book. So it’s mainly been 19th-century English writers like those, along with early 20th-century Southern authors and post-World War II people like Heller and Bellow.” “The Island Musical,” which is being presented in a staged reading this month at Powerhouse Theater on the Vassar College campus, might seem like a recent return to Williams’s theatrical roots. In fact, however, she started it as one-act play in 1992 and continued to work on it between tours and albums over the decades that followed. Featuring several unheard original songs, the work is an environmentally themed fable concerning “a faraway island whose inhabitants must confront the forces which threaten their magical home, and come together to protect their beloved land.” “[In developing the play] Dar has been doing the jobs of three people, writing not only the play itself, but also the music and the lyrics,” explains the musical’s director, Jeremy Dobrish, who, coincidentally, attended Wesleyan with the author. “The reading is a way to take all of the puzzle pieces from paper and see how they work together on the stage. There comes a point where you have to stop writing and see how things play in real time. Of course the music is fantastic, but the story is great, too. It really beats of narrative.” And “The Island Musical” itself is really just the latest chapter in another narrative, that of the ongoing, and always rewarding, chronicle of one of today’s greatest storytellers. One whose art, just like that of her hero and friend Joan Baez, has helped so many weather life’s trying interludes. Think back to that confused and distraught young woman. Alone in her bedroom with her murky thoughts, she convulses hysterically and glares blankly at the wall through her tears. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot to look forward to, besides more stress and others telling her who to be, what to do. But then, as the lines of “You’re Aging Well” drift into her earbuds, a warm little glow begins.? New York Stage and Film and Powerhouse Theater will present a special musical reading of “The Island Musical” at Powerhouse at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie on July 17.. 7/11 ChronograM music 49

July 8. The eponymous 1969 LP by Peter Sando’s band Gandalf might be the most perfect psychedelic album ever made. A lazy, hazy, strings-augmented opus, it drifts like a dream through blissfully stoned originals and lysergic reimaginings of songs by Tim Hardin and others. (The record was reissued in 2002 by Coxsackie’s Sundazed Music; Gandalf 2, a set of rare tracks, followed in 2007.) In support of Afraid of the Dark, Sando’s newest solo release, the part-time Upstater plays this acoustic date at American Glory BBQ. Perhaps the ribs won’t be the only thing smoked this night.

July 29. Following the false promise of the CD and the impersonal nothingness of the mp3, vinyl’s vindication has been an extra-sweet development for those of us who’ve known all along that wax is king. And to many of us it’s the seven-inch, 45-rpm vinyl record that’s the definitive format: two quick, say-it-all-on-one-side shots straight from the soul, presented with total focus and no wasteful filler. So the prospect of a new single by leading local folk rock duo Mike & Ruthy, “On My Home� b/w “My New York City� (the latter an unpublished Woody Guthrie original!), here celebrated with a live event at the Kleinert/James Art Center, is one more reason for vinyl heads to rejoice.

August 5. Despite the pressures of family lineage (yes, he’s the son of groundbreakers John and Alice Coltrane), saxophonist Ravi Coltrane has done well making his own way in jazz, choosing wisely, perhaps, to pursue a style that owes more to in-the-pocket hard-bop players like Joe Henderson than the ultratranscendent work of his parents. But by no means does that mean he’s been lazy: 2009’s Blending Times, his fifth album, has been roundly hailed for its understated and deeply personal atmospherics. Which should certainly play extremely well in the Belleayre Music Festival’s mountaintop setting. (K. D.

cd reviews David Arner Porgy/Bess Act 2 (2010, CIMP Records)
The secret to using standards as your performance springboard is in knowing where to land afterwards. George Gershwin’s career-refining work “Porgy and Bess” has been a musical fount for artists, including Ulster County resident David Arner, for over 70 years. Porgy/Bess Act 2 shows that there’s still more to draw from the infamous Catfish Row. Pianist and composer Arner describes Porgy/ Bess Act 2 as the continued journey from Porgy/Bess Act 1, which was recorded in 2007 in Esopus. Accompanied by bassist Michael Bisio and drummer Jay Rosen, Arner performs his “rearrangements and deconstructions” of “Porgy and Bess,” segments of which are neatly bundled throughout five compositions. He comfortably incorporates his classical facilities into “There’s a Boat, It’s Left.” His midsection solo is reminiscent of Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue”: charged and ecstatic. “Honey Man” is an all-too brief encounter with the full, settling sound of the trio. The 22-plus-minute “Gone Now” is an aural journey that depicts the turmoil in act two of “Porgy and Bess”: indecision, temptation, betrayal, fear, death. How does Porgy/Bess Act 2 measure up to other interpretations of “Porgy and Bess”? Hmm… and there comes the idiomatic apples to oranges. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong’s 1957 Porgy and Bess—within their own improvisational framework—is elegant as well as theatrical (it is an American folk opera, after all). Arner’s adventures with “Porgy and Bess” focus on emotional depth; taut and vicious but also awesome in their laudation of the Lord’s power over human circumstances.. —Cheryl K. Symister-Masterson
Hot Garbage Probably Not (2010, Independent)
Questionable band name aside, Hot Garbage’s new six-song EP, the Beacon group’s third release, delivers warm and fuzzy diversions. The CD has a washing machine-like scrub, rinse, and spin quality. The cycles are refreshing: varying between delicate and permanent press, occasionally going off balance like a wet pillow until, once in a while, the belt frays and snaps. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It forces attention and analysis and brings relief in the respite of resolve. Compositions like “Awaiting in the Melting Tray” embrace emotions that swim deep with post-tornado-like trauma, only to re-surface for air with an “in this together” community voice. These swings are due in no small part to the stark influence of having two very different lead voices that also play guitar. The instrumental interplay is an easy standout, swaying from tender intricacy to chaotic discord; from the wistfulness of Television to the tension of Slint. Cormac Gartland possesses hearts-on-a-sleeve-with-tinges-of-Elliot-Smith musings and timbre, while Jason Price rests in the ironic dichotomy of a painfully aware and detached yet down-to-Earth Lou Barlow. The music begs for more description by association: lo-fi in the vein of Pavement, shoegaze à la Dinosaur Jr., East Village noise rock circa early-to-mid Sonic Youth with premature Flaming Lips pop ejaculations. For better or worse, Probably Not was recorded in two days and it shows. The devil-may-care dissonance dances around the slop well enough for DIY indie rock, but the band’s potential deserves more studio time and a few notches on the instrumental bedpost.. —Jason Broome
Tern Rounders Tern Rounders (2011, Independent)
There’s a moment when something really special happens on the new album by Tern Rounders, and thankfully it doesn’t take too long to arrive. It happens at roughly the midway point of “Livin’,” the album’s opening number, an amiable country rocker that suddenly goes 3-D when Marc Clayton joins Kim Kilby on harmony vocals. It’s the moment in The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy sees everything in color, and it’s a sign of wonderful things to come. This is actually the Albany-based Tern Rounders’ second album, though the accompanying press release notes some big changes have been undertaken between releases. The addition of a pedal steel guitarist, Rick Morse, and a more upbeat country flair are the primary additions to the mix, and even if you don’t know how the band sounded the first time around, it’s still good news. Witness “The Rock,” a crackling number with what can’t possibly be happy lyrics (“Go back to the rock you crawled out from!”) delivered in such a celebratory manner you’ll never want to experience torment in any other way. Over 12 original tracks Kilby and Clayton trade vocals and guitars as the rhythm section rolls in rollicking lockstep and Morse adds one more layer of dirt and soul to the mix. There are variations on the theme—“Moment Not Meant to Last” is a dark, howling blues—but it all unfolds as naturally as can be. Tern Rounders is without a single moment of excess, a perfect accompaniment for the thick heat of summer.. —Crispin Kott, including editing of academic and term papers.

SUNSHINE STATES Bard Fictionistas Edie Meidav and Karen Russell Go Coastal By Nina Shengold Photograph by Jennifer May
W
hat is it about the edge of a continent? Though Bard Fiction Prize winners Karen Russell and Edie Meidav currently live on the temperate banks of the Hudson, their new novels gleefully plunge into coastal extremities. Russell’s Swamplandia! (Knopf, 2011) unfolds in the hummocky swamps of Florida’s 10,000 Islands. Meidav’s Lola, California (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2011) follows its two title characters—best friends nicknamed after a Kinks lyric—from a pitch-perfect Berkeley to Europe, New York, and back to their home state’s cracked paradise. 52 books ChronograM 7/11.” Russell’s parents grew up in that wilder Floridian landscape. Her father, a Vietnam vet, is retired; her mother, a real estate lawyer. Russell decided as a child that she’d be a writer. “I was such an anxious kid. It was a lifesaver to have this little door to carry around with me.” Books were her lifeline, the darker the better. “Mom used to say I could have one Stephen King and one Charlotte Brontë.” Her first story collection, St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised byWolves (Random House, 2006) reflects those affinities. Populated by ghosts, minotaurs, and the title story’s plaintive ex-cubs, the book garnered raves for its 25-year-old author. Bard professor Bradford Morrow, who teaches Russell’s stories, invited her to campus, urging her to apply for the 2011 Bard Fiction Prize. The author was working as a Putney Student Travel tourguide, and found out she’d won in the Singapore Airport Starbucks. “The BFP is a total dream,” she effuses. “It’s the best part of teaching—the contact with students, reading students’ work—without grading.” The Hudson Valley location enhances the magic. “The same prize could be endowed at an urban university, but it wouldn’t feel the same. The gift of time is great, but the actual spaciousness is a real gift. There’s a waterfall on campus.”
She spent her residency polishing stories for a forthcoming collection, tentatively titled Vampires in the Lemon Grove, and mapping out a second novel inspired by photographers sent to document the Dust Bowl. “It’s still in progress, a weird embryo—I feel like I’ll kill it if I talk too much about it,” she demurs. “I’m always surprised at how resilient my bewilderment is.” Russell’s stories usually start with “an image, or a bad ‘Saturday Night Live’ premise. The surreal and magical feels like ventilation to me. You follow the premise out just for the joy of it, and the real story starts to emerge in some sort of inky way, like a Polaroid coming into focus.” This month will mark Karen Russell’s 30th birthday. “It’ll be a relief not to get so much comment on how young I am,” she says with a shrug. “Anyway, now [The Tiger’s Wife author] Tea Obreht is the ‘so young’ one. I’m off the hook.” When Edie Meidav won the BFP in 2006, she had already published two acclaimed novels, Crawl Space (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005) and The Far Field: A Novel of Ceylon (Houghton Mifflin, 2001), winner of the Kafka Award. After her semester as writer-in-residence, she stayed on to teach creative writing and literature. “Bard is very stimulating, a very rich broth to be placed into in terms of colleagues, the events unfolding on campus,” she says over dinner at Rhinebeck’s Aroi Thai. The hyperarticulate Meidav started teaching in part to overcome her fear of public speaking. “I wasn’t a verbal child,” she explains. Reading created a fluency and bridge for her hidden linguistic gifts. “I’ve been thinking about the way a book stitches together a community of readers,” she reflects. “It cheers me to think I’m performing some kind of a service—in the same way that literature saved me, I could give a voice to someone else.” Meidav just spent two months in Cuba with her husband, painter Stan Stroh, and their two young daughters (“It was definitely nontourist Cuba—there were food shortages, water shortages, blackouts—an amazing experience”), researching a novel-in-progress about a Latin American boxer. Even for someone as fearless about stepping into other skins as Meidav, this sounds like a daunting stretch. “Creatively, there are times when you need to fill the well, to expand the context a little,” she says. There was also a personal motive. Meidav’s father died in September. Born in Poland and raised in Israel, he traveled extensively as a UN geophysicist, often bringing his wife and three children to exotic locales. “He was a traveling man, a restless spirit,” Meidav says, her voice thick with pride and grief. “That was his legacy. I feel very close to him in motion.” Meidav’s mother is an engineer, sociologist, and playwright; she also bellydanced at the family’s bohemian parties. They moved to Berkeley in 1974, during “the buzzkill years” after its countercultural flowering. “My family was always giving shelter to these lost puppies,” Meidav recalls; troubled classmates often moved in for long stretches. Lola, California features a similarly magnetic household with a very dark center: when we meet charismatic and brilliant Vic Mahler, he’s on Death Row for killing his wife. His daughter has severed all ties, changing her name and disappearing into a marijuana growers’ community. Her teenage best friend, a foster child who idolized the Mahler clan, races the clock to effect a reunion before Vic’s execution. “We always think our significant relationships are romantic, or with our parents, but for women especially, our friendships are formative,” says Meidav. “As you proceed in life, certain avenues open and can’t be closed. Every choice you make opens one thing and closes three others. It’s very similar to writing a novel.” Meidav is a prodigal wordsmith. “I’ve probably written or started 50 novels; I’ve published three. Some writers are Dionysian, others Apollonian. Some of us love to get lost in the forest, some love to plan. But if the writer is surprised, the reader is too.” Lola, California is nothing if not surprising. Vic’s psychopathology infects the next generations in unforeseen ways; some of the book’s revelations are gut punches. That many unfold in the echt Californian milieu of a New Age retreat adds to the resonance. In her essay “Daughter of California,” Meidav writes, “If every state has a psychological age appropriate to it, California is forever an adolescent, dreaming in bright colors and assuming suicidal proportions at its misfortunes.” Concepts of East and West also inform The Far Fields, and Crawl Space’s Emile Pouquet, a French Nazi war criminal, shares some DNA with the unrepentant, selfjustifying, yet thoroughly human Vic Mahler. “Even if somebody is a monster, there’s still an imperative to try to understand,” Meidav attests. “I think secretly all my novels are preaching a kind of gospel of human empathy.” Edie Meidav will read 7/9 at 7:30pm at Oblong Books & Music, Rhinebeck; 7/16 at 3pm, Kleinert/James, Woodstock, sponsored by Golden Notebook, with performances by Amii Legendre and Kevin Salem.
THE BARD FICTION PRIZE’S FIRST DECADE Awarded each October to “a promising, emerging writer who is an American citizen aged 39 or younger at the time of application,” the BFP offers a significant cash prize and a semester-long appointment as writer-in-residence at Bard College. Author and Conjunctions editor Bradford Morrow says he and fellow judges Mary Caponegro and Robert Kelly seek published authors “whose work we feel is original, ambitious, and shows profound promise for the future.” Previous winners include:
2011 Karen Russell (Swamplandia!) 2010 Samantha Hunt (The Invention of Everything Else) 2009 Fiona Maazel (Last Last Chance) 2008 Salvador Plascencia (The People of Paper) 2007 Peter Orner (Love and Shame and Love) 2006 Edie Meidav (Lola, California) 2005 Paul LaFarge (Luminous Airplanes) 2004 Monique Truong (Bitter in the Mouth) 2003 Emily Barton (Brookland) 2002 Nathan Englander (The Ministry of Special Cases)
“Over the past 10 years, the Bard Fiction Prize has deeply enriched life on campus for students and faculty alike,” Morrow says. “Students who are themselves interested in becoming writers are often both inspired and challenged by interacting with authors who aren’t much older than they are.” The inspiration seems to flow both ways: many BFP winners have forged ongoing ties to the Hudson Valley. Edie Meidav and Paul LaFarge are currently teaching at Bard; Emily Barton lives in Kingston, and Samantha Hunt in Tivoli. Applications for the 2012 prize (including three copies of a published novel; no manuscripts accepted) must be received by July 15, 2011. For more information:.

I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive Steve Earle
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011, $26
I
n the last decade or so, celebrated singer-songwriter-activist-author Steve Earle has applied his storytelling chops to playwriting (“Karla”), political discourse (his satellite radio show “Hardcore Troubadour”), and short fiction (the 2001 collection Doghouse Roses). And as a seven-times-married recovering addict, former jailbird, Fox News irritant, and ardent opponent of the death penalty, Earle has packed a lot of living into his 56 years. So the fact that his luminous, eight-years-in-thewriting debut novel I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive is a fascinating read should come as no surprise. What’s remarkable is that it rivals his best work as a multi-Grammy-winning songwriter. No one will be saying, “Don’t quit your day job, Steve.” For I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive, Earle breathes life into an obscure character of music history apocrypha: the mysterious doctor who shot morphine into alcoholic Hank Williams Sr. on New Year’s Eve 1953, hastening the untimely death of the 29-year-old icon. Earle fleshes out this mystery man and christens him Joseph A. Ebersole III, MD, aka Doc, a defrocked, heroin-addicted physician. Ten years after Hank’s demise, Doc is marking time on seedy South Presa Street in San Antonio, Texas, living on the fringes, financing his habit by performing abortions and emergency medical care on prostitutes and criminals in his room at the Yellow Rose Guest Home. When Doc shoots up, the wily ghost of Hank annoys and taunts him, sometimes as the personification of shame and guilt, sometimes for reasons revealed as the story spools out. Earle inhabits the voices of several deftly defined characters (mostly Doc) to create a world of refuse and squalor, leavening it with shimmery magical realism: the specter of Williams, the occasional tantalizing evocation of pre-Columbian Indian spirits, the power of healing touch. These elements combine with in-the-pocket dialog rhythms and Cinemascope-worthy scene settings to create a palpable world in which action unfolds at a brisk bluegrass tempo. When young Mexican Graciela’s boyfriend abandons her after a life-threatening abortion, the spirited senorita becomes Doc’s assistant, touching and changing the lives of all, especially Doc, to a soul-deep degree. The story percolates hot (and funny) when Doc, Graciela, and a ragtag bunch from South Presa stand cheek-by-jowl with an ecstatic, diverse crowd to catch a glimpse of JFK and Jackie at San Antonio International Airport, only to share collective horror when the Catholic presidente is assassinated days later. As Graciela emerges from the shadows of loss with changes to body and spirit, strange happenings— whispers of miracle—arouse the attention of a local priest with serious anger management issues. In the corporeal landscape of I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive, abortions are illegal, segregation is the law, the institutional authority of the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church is formidable, and the only folks looking out for the losers are, at face value, fellow losers. These deeply flawed, complicated holy fools, both ghostly and real, have populated Earle’s songs for decades, restricted to verses, choruses, and melodies. In I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive, Earle gives their hard lives more facets, resulting in passages of breathtaking detail, sometimes beautiful, sometimes harrowing, yet always glowing under Earle’s loving touch, wry humor, and lyrical brevity; the pace is so expeditious that the gruesome and the glorious go down with equal ease. One hopes Earle’s fiction jones haunts him like Hank haunts Doc: relentless and never satisfied. —Robert Burke Warren

A Moment in the Sun John Sayles
McSweeney’s, 2011, $29
D
imly remembered now, the Spanish-American War—precipitated by the unexplained sinking of the USS Maine in the Havana harbor in 1898—was our nation’s first go at exporting democracy (i.e. to Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam). It announced the role we continue to play to this day, that of a proactive, global force, while demonstrating our facility for cloaking imperialist tendencies in the rhetoric of liberation. In John Sayles’s new historical novel, A Moment in the Sun, a gun-slinging brothel boss rallies an outfit of luckless Alaskan prospectors with the absurdsounding declamation, “Shall we free the oppressed Cuban from the saffron banner of Spain?” One volunteer, Hod, feels this is “something big, something real, something important in the world and that he is part of it.” Predictably disillusioned, Hod soon realizes that “men like him, homeless, desperate men, are blown about the world like cinders from a locomotive stack, and the Army is as good a place for them to end up as any.” Known primarily as a filmmaker whose distinguished body of work includes The Brother from Another Planet, Matewan, and Lone Star, Sayles is a storyteller intent on validating the experiences of the disenfranchised, portraying injustice, and elucidating paradoxes that belie the social order. His hefty war novel, which ranges across multiple fronts and cultures, ranks with the best—and avoids the didacticism that occasionally hinders his films. His representations of torture and oppression are visceral and all the more affecting for the lack of rumination. Labor and relations among workers, whether in a lead mine or a toy factory, are weightily detailed and suffused in gloom. When the author drifts into the backstory of a hospital worker, the daughter of a Chinese tenant farmer sold as a child to a Hong Kong pimp, so perfectly does he convey the mood that the reader can almost hear a bamboo flute mournfully accompanying the segues. With period touches such as an opium-addicted paperboy in lower Manhattan, sexual jokes in a minstrel show, or the public electrocution of an elephant, time and place feel at once foreign and altogether plausible. There are inspired flourishes in his use of slang: The men in the prison where President McKinley’s assassin is held are “swindlers and pete-men, gashouse pugs and forgers, sneaks and stalls, smash and grab artists, pennyweights, till-tappers, boardinghouse thieves and moll-buzzers.” The novel centers on the 25th Infantry, an actual segregated regiment of “buffalo soldiers” deployed because it was believed that people of color were immune to tropical diseases. It chronicles three men from Wilmington, North Carolina: Junior, the son of a McGill-educated physician who writes his father thoughtful accounts of military life and race relations in stunning prose; Royal, who holds a vague hope that a tour of duty will give him a foot up in the postbellum south; and Coop, a craps-shooting brawler who knows the battlefield is as close to equal opportunity as he will ever get. While the men are off doing Uncle Sam’s bidding, white supremacists stage a coup in their hometown, killing many and forcing black political and community leaders to flee. The Wilmington Massacre really did happen. The arrival of Jim Crow while the men are abroad half expecting to be honored for heroism (and simultaneously coming to comprehend that they are merely tools in a racist-colonialist plot) is the book’s central irony. As a novelist in full stride, Sayles makes us realize that the truth is simply unacceptable. —Marx Dorrity

Seamstress
Horizon, Altered
Drifting
I do not tell them about shadows drifting over my tongue, like hands. They think that duty is a nail. It is an art. Cloth of sky snagged on a branch, chrysalis, dress left at the threshold of dream.
Once upon a time, it was the future, The rim of the world where grass was greener. It was where tomorrow came from While we slept, and where today went Once we were done with it. It was where parallel lines finally met, Where the sky and sea compared blues. It was the entrance for clouds and their exit, Where storms brewed and the moon died. The place the birds vanished in autumn, Where butterflies arrived in spring, Where tall sails foretold the ship. It was the boundary of what we knew, The threshold of what we might learn, It was the tree line, the sea level, The hill top, the purple mountains’ majesty, The saucer of all we had been, all we were, The vanishing point, The skyline.
I remember that summer dad bought a boat. You were big enough to drive it alone, So I was left to myself, throwing horseshoe crabs at no one. I remember the storm When the craft, unmoored from the bay sand, Drifted from shore and You chased it down the beach and out into the bog. I waited and watched with dad As you ran ahead, past where any of us had ever been, Out onto the marsh that fed deep into the bay. You, reedy and taller than the wetland grass, Bigger than the setting sun still visible through the clouds, Disappeared into the wide blue While we struggled to hold sight of you.
What I make here, is free. My hands are swallows. Wind and stone pass through my flight. What I make here cannot be bought or sold. Only lived. —Christina Lilian Turczyn
Surprising Grace
It was where the planes came from.
I remember the thunk that beheaded the rooster and her loosening patience as she watched life run out around her in circles.
It was what they took.
The jars she could tighten with one good wrench against anything getting in. The fire she stoked when it had all but given out. How she could lift you, carry you, break you if it came to that and the surprising grace of her ruined hands. The care they could take. —Mary Cuffe Perez

CODA Never were you lovelier than now. Come glazed and glowing Gilded with delight. I lay crumpled, The pillow, pulled to muffle my roars, Clasped to my chest. Such finely Extracted pleasure to draw Raw bellow, bawl and growl. Your gentle smile remakes this erotic Deftness as a doll’s-house blessing Youth sweeping through joy. Sex, is, for the aging, and less supple, A marvel of unfathoming depth: The mystery and mastery Of making love revealed and known, Our hundred years of life and love Proclaimed. There is a coda To even the smallest act And this holds pleasure in your face For the pleasure you have given, Your tongue’s nursing delicacy Tasting as fresh as morning. —Nigel Gore

I’ll Speak to the Blue Jay A Blue jay spoke—to Me—today While on his way to feed— He fluttered by the window sill And soon he—softly—said: “Hi! Have you seen—the Crow—today? He’s—stolen all—the Seed! He fluttered off and sounded shrill Just after he had fed. “I know this—awful Crow—assayed The area—indeed— This leads me to believe the Meal Was surveyed in his Head.” I told Him that—the Crow remained— With awful cunning speed Far fleeting—from my Mind—Unreal— That probably—He’s dead— And though I’ll—never know—the way This Crow had chose to heed— This Blue jay’s words—enough—seem real— I’ll speak to Him instead. —Daniel de Sa’
The Greening
The Bear
Café Goya
When you first behold all eighteen shades of green kept fresh with piped-in mist, piled high and plush on Brazilian hardwood, you understand
A few weeks before his death My father told me of a bear. He saw it one morning On the nursing home lawn.
10:30 A.M. breakfast with Handel & Schumann via air to glean is to reap time & living by loving to thrive on a riff as Prez put it so glad the phone was dead let it remain so
There’s nothing like when you roll the moist tiles of “nature’s velvet” in your hand They’ve retrained truffle pigs in Southern France to hunt the choicest squares Or young locals hike deep in and carve the green from rims of shaded boulders with X-acto knives Most of us reap our spongy sections from the string of mossyards squeezed between Long Island’s East End wineries Where tipsy tourists pay to roll around on the lushest patches, pay even more to cut their own
It ambled, sniffing air and ground. It was startled by a car horn. Crossed the stone wall And in an instant was gone. An ancient physician from Oslo believes me. He’s the only one, my father says. The staff? They nod and whisper, he says. Such inhumanity in this place called a home. You don’t believe me, he says. Am I losing his mind? After all, he is 87, unable to walk, Deaf without hearing aids. It is possible you saw a bear. Possible? he asks. A bear is or is not. It is not the subject of debate. There are two possibilities, he says. Either it was there or I am mad. Then it was there, I say. Go home, he says. It’s time for my lunch, he says. My day is meals and sleep. I’ll stay and eat with you. Go home, he says. And don’t hit the bear. —Andrew F. Popper
All this to feel something spring back, turn it over and find clinging dirt of black and brilliant pedigree. —Katherine Hauswirth
Gardening My goldenrod, its flowers burst, Spread gently o’er your swollen bud, Sweet nectar pools to quench my thirst, Unstoppable waves in an ocean flood. Your fields so ripe, I till your soil, Upon your lilies, I take feed, And when I’ve spent your mortal coil, It is here, I spread my seed.
—Tom Weigel
Haven When the thunder started rolling in, a cat and a dog rained into my tiny office. Maybe they thought I could keep electricity at bay. Or that my superior intelligence would make sense of it all. I’m not a very good God but I did stroke Jerry into purrs, pat Molly’s nerves toward a ponderous sigh, a sinking back into carpet. For fifteen minutes we shared safe haven. Then the storm withdrew the sky re-blued and we went our separate ways. —Catherine Wald
Sex Open Your Eyes Sex is a cochlear implant long overdue: A hard itch on your mind too pricey to scratch, A collar found on foul monkeys at the zoo, A craving with no pill, gum, or patch. A gentle touch tenses that eager spot, Playing with it amid drugs, toys, and tools. Soon your head lightens off that moist cot, And you drift to a realm of fainter rules. O, wake from that bed and listen to that praise, Dare you stand new ground as hearer and lover. But sound has a steep price in this new shrill haze For that speech impede will never recover. —Samantha Tansey
It is all in the past, the worse no more Thoughts about only the good Why was it like that thought? Who knows, not even I do The confusion travels all throughout me Yet calmness has arisen The hate is half gone The path you must show now I am leaving it up to you Lead me into the world You shall not be frightened Feel free and let go —Ally Jerro-Greco (14 years)

Newburgh history & HEART
by Anne Pyburn photos by David Morris Cunningham the minuteman statue at washIngton’s headquarters
If Newburgh were a person, she’d wear pearls and silk—pearls from great-grandma, silk from the Salvation Army—a supple black leather, and just the right scent. The kind of lady who gets mentioned in both Look magazine (“All-American City,” 1952) and Oui magazine (“Towns Without Pity,” February 1979). Newburgh abounds in contrasts and grace notes.
•BACKWARD GLANCES•
History is alive here. Washington’s Headquarters, where the First General lived whilst foiling the Newburgh Conspiracy’s scheme to make America a monarchy, is just one stop on your historical tour. There’s the New Windsor Cantonment, a reconstruction of the Continental Army’s final encampment, where reenactors love to play and the first Purple Heart was awarded, and the Purple Heart National Hall of Honor museum. The Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and the Highlands maintains the Captain David Crawford House, a monument to the era of grand side-wheel steamers. Then there’s the faux Scottish castle built on Pollepel Island by arms dealer Francis Bannerman, who expressed the desire that his armaments collection would one day be known as “The Museum of Lost Arts.” Closed to the public for decades, Bannerman’s Castle can be toured these days—get there by guided kayak or by tour boat. And the Pollopel is far from the only tour vessel plying the shining bay amidst the Highlands; the Pride of the Hudson and the River Rose both offer Newburgh-based cruises.
•MUST-SEES•
Cher Vick, the editor and creator of newburghrestoration.com, relentlessly posts tempting photos of some of the city’s hundreds of real estate bargains, architectural diamonds in the rough. Asked to name a couple of Newburgh “must-sees,” she rattles off over a dozen: “The Motorcycle Museum, the Newburgh Jazz Fest . . . The Safe Harbors folks are holding the Ann Street Market and Family Fun Day on August 6. The Habitat ReStore, that’s a great place for furniture. Bric-A-Brac has furniture and candles and collectibles—it’s owned by the same people that have the Caffé Macchiato. I’m trying to give you places less mentioned than the usual bunch.” “The usual bunch” would include the international headquarters of Orange County Choppers (the custom and production motorcycle manufacturer founded by Paul Teutul and son), that rare blend of inspired iron-horse mania and family angst that made a reality show hit on the Discovery Channel’s “American Chopper.” And don’t forget the hundreds of vintage bikes housed at the Museum of Motorcycle History at 250 Lake Street just on the outskirts of the city. The “usual” waterfront scene is arguably the closest thing to a true partier’s mecca that the Hudson Valley has to offer. There’s Gully’s, the boat that rocks all summer long with free live music six nights a week, and Torches, home of a 6,000-gallon saltwater aquarium. The Blue Martini, where the region’s young and hot-blooded dress to impress for the dance floor and sip the signature drink from pint glasses in the clubby back room. Seafood and sushi, classic Italian and steak, burgers and wings—all of it swathed in spectacular river scenery and backed by an infinity of rolling mountains. 58 Newburgh ChronograM 7/11

•A HAPPILY HEADY MIX•
Newburgh is people like Vietnam vet and Wherehouse chef Dan Brown, serving up “cosmic American comfort style” alongside vegetarian and vegan goodies in a 150-year-old building. People like painter M. E. Whitehill, great granddaughter of 19th-century master Thomas B. Pope and a retired librarian. The diversified fine arts of modern Hudson River School practitioners intersect in a cyberspace matrix of beauty and activism: Whitehill’s website promotes Vick’s preservationist efforts, and the trendy Waterfront zone just welcomed back the newly renovated and reopened West Shore Railroad station, now offering theatre and pizza in a venue designed by the team that created Grand Central Station. Factor in Downing Park—designed by the Olmsted/Vaux team that dreamed up Central Park—and you begin to glimpse the treasure trove that is, as Vick puts it on the Newburgh Restoration website, “New York’s other city.” New York’s other city has won many lovers—people like Jersey girl Tricia Haggerty Wenz, founder of Safe Harbors of the Hudson, headquartered on Lower Broadway. Safe Harbors is dedicated to “transforming lives and building communities through housing and the arts,” and those aren’t just words. Safe Harbor’s Cornerstone Residence is a rare blend of artists’ lofts, apartments, support services and amenities, and their renovation of the Ritz Theatre—the landmark home of vaudeville and trial runs for Manhattan productions, where Lucille Ball made her first stage appearance—is making great strides. The legend is that a sign posted backstage at Manhattan’s Paramount Theater warned, “If you think this audience is tough, try Newburgh.” The members of the Newburgh Actors Studio (“A Little Taste of Manhattan in the Hudson Valley”) regularly do exactly that. Abundantly blessed with many riches, the “Queen City” is anything but pampered. Newburgh’s boosters, creatives, pioneers,
the river rose on the newburgh waterfront
and preservationists—the Queen’s true consorts—are busy painting, hammering, building, and bringing new life and prosperity to their beloved city. The Dry Dock, a new nightclub, has recently opened up on lower Broadway across from City Hall . . . The Newburgh Brewing Company should be up and running by the end of December . . . So stay tuned and do stop in. The Queen will be delighted to make your acquaintance.
•NEWBURGH: A GRACE NOTE• Nancy Billman, a Newburgh native, migrated to Hilton Head, South Carolina, where she married her late husband, Peter, a plein air painter and woodworker, and practiced her caterer’s art. They moved back into her family’s gracious 1820 Federal on Newburgh’s Montgomery Street over a decade ago and blended their talents to create the Goldsmith Denniston House, an artfully restored and just-updated-enough B&B and event venue. “In Hilton Head, kids got a Beemer given to them on their sixteenth birthdays,” Nancy says. “Those weren’t the kind of values we wanted to instill. I missed the mountains. I missed having a garden. And Peter flourished here as an artist. He always said that everywhere he looked there was a painting.” goldSmith denniston house B&B.

•NEVER A LOSS FOR FUN•
The Newburgh arts calendar is full to bursting—“Crazy Ladies” at the Railroad Playhouse, an Italian thriller at the Downing Film Center, “Art in Bloom” at the Karpeles Museum, and Hudson Valley poets at the Newburgh Free Library. The Greater Newburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Newburgh Chamber Orchestra, and the Opera Company of the Highlands in nearby New Windsor would all love to have your ear between free live jazz concerts at the Newburgh Jazz Festival—a series of 18 concerts ranging from a big band to the vintage girl group sounds and modern jazz vocals of String of Pearls—on the waterfront, Wednesdays and Thursdays in July and August. The Wherehouse on Liberty Street hosts bands like Talking Machine and Deep Chemistry, open mike nights, and parties for Outsider Magazine, a DIY local music fanzine. The Goldsmith Denniston House B&B welcomes 500 guests a year and proprietor Nancy Billman says they’re never at a loss for fun. “The younger crowd likes the waterfront,” she says of the city’s hottest restaurant and nightclub zone. “Then there are people who want to relax with a good book after they visit Washington’s Headquarters and West Point, and go out to eat someplace quieter like Beeb’s. Or grab a bite at the Alexis Diner after they’ve done the
boat tour of Bannerman’s Island [the site of a simulated Scottish castle built by a munitions dealer at the turn of the century]. I mean, we’re so close to so much here.” So much indeed. Washington, Bannerman, and other notable and notorious figures out of the history books aside, both the Alexis—a deliciously over-the-top diner known for its portions and splashy décor—and the Zagat-rated and multiple “Best of Hudson Valley” winner Beeb’s American Bistro are worth the trip from anywhere. And it’s an easy trip to make from almost everywhere. Since Henry Hudson’s day, the Newburgh has been a transit hub. Modern options include Stewart International Airport, the intersection of the New York Thruway with a couple of handy interstates, the reinstituted Metro North ferry line that’ll get you to and from Beacon in 10 scenic minutes, and a water taxi back and forth to Poughkeepsie at 60 mph.

The Joys & Challenges of a Home-Based Food Business By Peter Barrett Photos by Roy Gumpel

hree. Home processors are forbidden from using any commercial equipment like a large mixer, which means that Pipman relies on recipes that let the dough ferment overnight and generate gluten without kneading. She describes a typical workday: “If I get up at five, I can be done at 8:30, and then make my deliveries.” Her goal is to increase demand so that she can bake at capacity: about 70 loaves per day, four 66 food & drink ChronograM 7/11
days a week. “If I can sell more, I could just keep going until about 10, without having to add an extra day. I would be more efficient, since I’m already doing it.” She can make about 25 loaves at a time in her big old second-hand Garland double ovens, so all she would have to do is add another batch per day. Right now, her pretax net averages about $950 a month, and besides helping provide for her family, she’s obviously enjoying the work. It’s worth mentioning here that her bread is very good; it has real character and a comforting, home-baked flavor that commercial bakeries rarely achieve. And that quality is vitally important, says Mimi Fix, the author of Start & Run a Home-Based Food Business, and a passionate advocate for home processing. “Honest feedback is important; not everything is great. When you give something away, people will love it. Paying for it is a different thing. But if you’re a food person who’s businessoriented, it can really make a difference to your income.” After 30 years working in the food industry—beginning at home, then opening a bakery and café, Fix has returned to her licensed home kitchen to work. In addition to baking, writing, and consulting, she teaches regular classes on the subject at community colleges throughout the central Hudson Valley. To help people get that honest feedback, and out of concern that her students who had started businesses lacked a support group, Fix started the Hudson Valley Baking Society, where home processors can meet and share stories and ideas about good sources and markets. She hopes to start other product-specific offshoots as the community grows. Fix continues: “About 30 of the 50 states have cottage laws, but they’re all different. New York is easier than some, and stricter than others. Running a business isn’t about food at all; you need to think about the daily reality of producing, but besides cooking, there’s bookkeeping, market research, and finding people and places to sell your stuff.” Fix strongly suggests beginning modestly. “Don’t bite off more than you can chew. It’s a good time for making local, seasonal, small-batch products; if you start small you have a better chance of growing organically, with less frustration.”
mor pipman baking bread at home in glenford. pipman’s home-based food business, much more bread, has faced a number of bureaucratic and regulatory hurdles since launching in 2010.
A limitation that all the producers interviewed found excessive is the prohibition against 20-C exemption licensees using the Internet in any form whatsoever for marketing. While concerns about illegal interstate commerce are valid, it’s hard to imagine how informing a local mailing list or Twitter followers that one’s wares will be at some fair or farm stand on a given day could cause any harm. Fix agrees: “It’s totally unfair. The Internet is so much a part of how we communicate today. It’s like saying that you can’t use the phone.” Julia Sforza lives in Esopus, where she makes jams and jellies in her kitchen for sale under the name Half Pint Preserves. “Getting certified was easy,” she says, “but some of the other rules are a little daunting.” The limitations have “made me more creative, but it takes time to get the word out and make contacts. It can be even harder in other states, though; we’re lucky that the license is free in New York.” She expresses disappointment that making the transition from the exemption to the regular 20-C license is expensive, seeing it as a high hurdle for anybody looking to build a business. A 20-C license allows home processors to make a wider variety of foods—including acidified things like pickles—and to use the Web, but it costs $400 for a two-year permit (up 100 percent over 2007) and there’s talk that it may increase soon to $900. Beth Linskey is the owner and founder of Beth’s Farm Kitchen in Stuyvesant Falls. 30 years ago, she got a full 20-C license for her kitchen and now runs a company with 12 employees that grossed about $400,000 last year. They still make all their jams in pots on the stove, just many more types and jars than at the outset. They also do co-packing for other local producers, saving them from having to get inspected and do the canning at home. People getting their products co-packed still need to get their recipes approved by the Food Venture Center at Cornell, and the co-packers must follow the recipes exactly. Speaking of the regulations, she says “It’s much better now [than when I started] and clearer, but they could loosen up a little bit, especially with advertising; the smallest people are being penalized unfairly. And in rural, low-income areas, they should really make it easier for
people to help themselves.” She encourages people to agitate for better rules, beginning at the local level, and there’s precedent: this March, Sedgwick, Maine passed the first-inthe-country Food Sovereignty law, allowing residents to “produce, process, sell, purchase, and consume local foods of their choosing.” It allows for buyers and sellers to agree to waive liability, and for farmers to sell raw milk and animals slaughtered on their farms; seven towns in three states have since followed suit. At about the same time, Michigan passed its Cottage Law, which allows for any homemade food to be sold as long at it is labeled as having not been inspected by the State Agriculture Department and bears the full name and address of the maker. Awareness of and demand for local, handmade food are clearly increasing. Linskey concurs with Fix: “People these days are really savvy, both the producers and consumers. People really want to do this [canning] and it’s going to be big this season. Don’t be afraid of canning!” Much Mor Bread is about to become an LLC; Pipman hired a lawyer to help her navigate the legalities of making the business into a real entity to protect her and prepare for growth. She finds the regulations easy enough to abide by: “if you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing, there should be no problem,” though she finds the Internet prohibition as frustrating as everyone else does and would love to be able to sell her apple and tomato sauces. Pipman’s is a classic story about adapting to hard times and discovering a new vocation in the process. “We bought the church for me to use as a studio,” she reflects, sitting at the kitchen table surrounded by samples of her bread, jam, and sweets, with a dozen metal bowls of dough rising on the counter. “But now I wonder if maybe that’s behind me.” Mimi Fix Beth’s Farm Kitchen Peter Barrett writes prolifically about his own culinary creations at. 7/11 ChronograM food & drink 67

Where’s the Beef? A Meat Lover’s Guide By Holly Tarson Red Devon serves grass-fed beef and locally sourced seasonal produce in bangall.
H
ow would you like your steak? We’ve come a long way since the days when the answer might have been simply, “medium rare.” Now steak can be dry-aged, grass-fed, flown in from Australia, or raised locally at a farm down the road. A variety of cuts abound, from NY strip and rib-eye to T-bone and tenderloin. Filet mignon was probably one of the first specific cuts to enter the high-end dining market, suggests Craig Stafford of Flatiron Steakhouse in Red Hook. He suspects this may be why it persists as the most requested cut of steak at his restaurant. But meat aficionados have also come to appreciate a marbled cut of beef on the bone. Marbling means there’s a little road map of fat that meanders through the meat, carrying tenderness and flavor wherever it goes. Dry-aging, the process of hanging the meat at a cool temperature for about four weeks, intensifies the flavor by drawing out excess moisture. If you are looking for local, the Hudson Valley has it. Grass-fed? You bet. On the bone or off, delicious steak is not far away. Flatiron Steakhouse In Red Hook, Flatiron Steakhouse is a few doors down from the one traffic light in the center of the village. To say you can’t miss it is no exaggeration. During warmer weather, sidewalk tables accommodate al fresco diners. Inside, paper-onlinen tables have been known to entertain early-dining families, and later morph into quiet two-tops in the front window for couples and friends. Larger groups can slurp down oysters and cocktails at the big table in back. Whether you are inside or out, Flatiron offers a deeply enjoyable dining experience. Frequently sourcing from the likes of Meiller’s, Migliorelli, and Northwind Farms, chef/owner Craig Stafford has crafted a scrumptious menu including numerous cuts of steak. Diners choose from six different sauces, all freshly prepared in-house.Whether you opt for the traditional steakhouse sauce made with brandy and green peppercorns or find yourself craving the adventure of habanero sauce or red onion relish, the choice is yours. Good luck passing up the shoestring fries or Brussels sprouts with wholegrain mustard. And if you like beer with your steak, Flatiron is a sure bet.They offer tasting flights of some unique and really interesting brews. Skytop Steakhouse For steak with a view, Skytop Steakhouse boasts the best panorama of Kingston. In the distance, the spires of Benedictine Hospital peek through the blanket of green treetops in summer and a palette of red, orange, and gold in the fall. Chef Ian Gunderude says their dry-aged steak is so tender, “you can cut it with a spoon.” The Skytop Steaks portion of the menu is substantial. Make it surf and turf with an add-on of crab cakes, shrimp, seared scallops or lobster tail. On weekends a roasted prime rib special awaits. Red Devon The relaxed elegance of Red Devon’s dining room coupled with their seasonal and sustainable philosophy make it a must for your culinary bucket list. Tucked just South of 199 and east of the Taconic in Bangall, Red Devon sources from local artisans and farms everything from cheese to produce to protein. In fact,
much of their 100 percent grass-fed beef comes from their own Temple Farm in Millbrook. The cattle are a heritage breed named Devon. Get it? Red Devon. Chef Sara Lukasiewicz explains that as a breed, Devon cattle were meant to be raised on grass and grass alone, so the marbling is comparable to a grain finished animal, without the need for grain. At Red Devon the menus change regularly to incorporate seasonal produce and a wide variety of entrees. But have no doubt it will always include steak like the steak frites with hand-cut fries and garlic butter. Count your lucky stars if you timed it right and happen to see tenderloin among the Specials. Red Devon dry-ages their beef and butchers their steers in-house, so every few weeks a new arrival means Tenderloin will be available for a couple days until it sells out. Get it while you can. Sapore Steakhouse Bring a friend when you visit Sapore Steakhouse in Fishkill so you can sample their signature dish: a 52 ounce Porterhouse steak for two. “One or two customers finished it by themselves but it’s a rare occasion,” says manager John Lekic. T-bone and Porterhouse are similar cuts. They’re both served on the bone, with strip steak on one side and tenderloin on the other. The Porterhouse is cut from where the tenderloin is biggest, hence the large portion. Sapore’s steak is prime dry-aged and ranges from a 12 ounce filet mignon to a 24 ounceT-bone and the supersize Porterhouse. For steak lovers looking for something new to try, maybe you’d like to dip your toe into the world of big game. At Sapore you have the chance. Medallions of elk, venison and buffalo steak keep company with baby greens and roasted potatoes. Cue to Go On the Southern edge of Columbia County in Clermont, Cue to Go offers nofuss barbecue. It’s strictly a take-out joint, with a few picnic tables on the lawn if you just can’t wait until you get home to eat. Owners Lisa Platti and Brad Renner opened it as an expansion to their catering business. (So, yes, you can get a party’s worth of barbecue. Just be sure to order in advance.) They do all their smoking on the premises using hickory, oak, and maple wood. Brad developed the BBQ and Cajun dry rubs they use on the ribs. The menu is strictly barbecue. Pork, ribs, chicken. Smoked and pulled. Sandwiches and plates. The St. Louis Ribs are a little spicier than the Country Style. Both pair well with the O’Brien potatoes. (Potatoes, bacon, peppers, onions, cheese sauce—‘nuff said.) American Glory BBQ Maybe every day can’t be steak day. But is there ever a bad day for Barbecue? Joe Fierro, owner of American Glory in Hudson would certainly say no. Open seven days a week, this relative newcomer to Hudson just celebrated its first year serving St. Louis Ribs, Texas Beef Brisket and North Carolina Pulled Pork. Joe calls it American comfort food. Pick your comfort from sides like Garlic Smashed Potatoes, Mac & Cheese, Collard Greens with Ham, and Candied Jalapenos. And by all means, don’t forget a cocktail.The Bloody Marys are made with freshly ground horseradish and receive rave reviews. 7/11 ChronograM culinary adventures 73

ribs and sides from american glory bbq in hudson.
A casual, elegant bistro in downtown Goshen serving fresh and delicious fare.
★★★★!– Times Herald-Record (Jan. 14, 2011) Big W’s Roadside Bar-B-Q If smoky barbecue is your passion, venture to Big W’s Roadside Bar-B-Q in Wingdale. Chef/owner Warren Norstein has been known to offer multiple samples to diners until they find a favorite. He’s not happy until every customer is completely satisfied.The meats are dry-rubbed with spices before they go into the offset smoker. They’re not mopped with what Norstein calls “garbage pail sauce” (ketchup and vinegar stirred in a bucket with a canoe paddle). Instead, the sauces are cooked with layers of “vinegary, fruity, oniony” flavors and served on the side. As a Frenchtrained chef who worked in Manhattan for 16 years, he brought serious culinary expertise to his barbecue business venture. He started by selling ribs and pulled pork out of the smoker on the back of a truck. To make his family dinner easy, he used to put chickens in the smoker to bring home later. But customers noticed the chickens and persisted in regularly buying them all. So he officially added chicken to the menu. Warren describes them as a succulent beautiful piece of smoked bbq that retains its moisture at the low temperature and doesn’t get stringy. As demand grew (and yes, it grew!), he expanded, smoking more and more meat each day, and still selling out in an hour or two. In a few years it made sense to open a sit-down restaurant. He’s been smoking and serving at the location in Wingdale ever since. Customers love the pork and the chicken. But the brisket is threatening to take the lead. They come in and ask, “Can I get that soft sliced steak that you do?” “They don’t know what to call it, but they like it,” says Norstein. Woody’s All Natural When it comes to meat, it’s impossible to ignore the quintessential hamburger. While you can find them just about everywhere, they don’t all compare to the burgers at Woody’s All Natural in Cornwall. If you’ve grown suspicious of the label “all natural” in the grocery store, this is one time you can surely trust it.The hamburger meat comes from grass-fed beef. The restaurant has its own garden near the trestle on Taylor Road. In the summer, daily harvests of herbs, vegetables, and heirloom tomatoes fill their recipes. They use Jane’s Ice Cream in the shakes. And Pine Island red onions are thinly sliced and flash fried to make light, fluffy Onion Hay. Manager Nancy Edwards works seven days a week to ensure the quality of the food. And the consensus seems to be these burgers don’t leave you with postburger regret. Edwards says, “When you eat one of our burgers, you really do feel good after.”

the red lion inn in stockbridge, massachusetts, has been welcoming visitors for over 200 years.). Illustrious Past Nothing says small-town America quite like the art of Norman Rockwell. The beloved Saturday Evening Post cover illustrator is one of the world’s most recognized artists, and his delightful creations are alive with generation-spanning appeal. Rockwell spent his last years in picturesque Stockbridge, the home of the Norman Rockwell Museum, drawing, literally, from members of the nearby community to be his inspirational subjects. The museum opened in 1969 and is the Berkshires’ most popular year-round attraction, housing 574 original paintings and drawings, along with many of Rockwell’s most iconic images and a personal archive of over 100,000 items. Sweet Summer Sounds The Boston Symphony Orchestra’s summer home since 1937, Tanglewood is the Northeast’s leading seasonal venue for classical music. Set on a glorious estate near Lenox, the property has two performance buildings: the open-air Serge Koussevitsky Music Shed and the cathedral-like Seiji Ozawa Hall. Each year it attracts upward of 350,000 visitors for both the Tanglewood Music Festival, which offers chamber and choral music, musical theater, contemporary works, and pop (JamesTaylor and Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion” are recurring favorites), and the Tanglewood Jazz Festival. In addition to hosting the BSO under the baton of renowned conductor James Levine, the site also sponsors the Tanglewood Music Center Fellowship Program for advanced musical study. Great, Indeed The charming yet cosmopolitan Great Barrington has its own acclaimed entertainment venue: the Mahawie Performing Arts Center, a restored 1905 vaudeville theater that presents music, dance, theater, opera, and classic films in a resplendently historic space. But when it comes to eating and shopping, this restaurant-and-store-packed town should be near the top on your itinerary. The antiques trade is the biggest retail draw, and in addition to the many such merchants in town and nearby Sheffield are those offering books, toys, apparel, and more. A wealth of worthwhile eateries includes Baba Louie’s, Naji’s, Café Adam, John Andrew’s Restaurant, Bizalion’s, Rubiner’s Cheesemongers, Castle Street Café, and the Route 7 Grill.
Luxury in Lenox For lavish accommodations it would be difficult to surpass Blantyre, a breathtaking English country Tudor estate in Lenox that once belonged to moneyed merchant Robert W. Paterson and is now recognized as one of the world’s finest hotels. Modeled after Paterson’s wife’s ancestral home in Scotland and constructed at the dawn of the 20th century, Blantyre rests on 117 sweeping acres, and, along with its grand main house, boasts four private cottages, an 11-room carriage house, two championship croquet courts, four tennis courts, a heated swimming pool, a spa, a health club, and an award-winning restaurant. Food for the Ears Northampton’s Feeding Tube Records is a scrappy indie music shop and label whose owners—which include locals Thurston Moore of SonicYouth and music scribe Byron Coley—brag of “a selection of vinyl so stunning in its weirdness and complexity, we can guarantee you will leave with an empty wallet and a full heart.” Called “NoHo” thanks to an influx of Manhattanites, the arts-dominated Northampton has retailers, bars, and bistros catering to students from the Five Colleges (Smith, Amherst, Mount Holyoke, and Hampshire colleges and the University of Massachusetts Amherst) and a thriving music scene via Iron Horse Music Hall, Pearl Street, the Elevens, the Academy of Music, and the Calvin and Pines theaters (nearby Easthampton has the Flywheel arts collective). Vinyl diggers also frequent the town’s Newbury Comics location and the one in nearby Amherst, along with John Doe Jr. Records and Books in Greenfield and Mystery Train Records in Amherst. Where Great Dance Rests Recently honored with a National Medal of the Arts by President Barack Obama, Jacob’s Pillow Dance has been kicking up its heels since 1933 and is America’s longest-running international dance festival. “The Pillow’s” 163-acre spread in Becket is a registered national landmark that each year attracts an average of 80,000 visitors from around the world, who flock to experience its over 50 resident dance companies, hundreds of free performances and events, prestigious training program, and extensive archives. Famous for presenting world premieres and international dance in many styles and traditions, the center is comprised of several indoor and outdoor stage facilities and has nurtured the careers of Martha Graham, Jack Cole, Alvin Ailey, and Merce Cunningham. Pleasant Dreams Another long-running Becket institution is the legendary Dream Away Lodge, a gemlike, 200-year-old farmhouse remade as a restaurant, bar, and music venue and hidden away along the edge of the October Mountain State Forest. Rumored to have been a brothel and speakeasy during Prohibition, the lodge was founded by the larger-thanlife Mama Maria Frasca and her three musical daughters, and in 1975 was anointed with a visit from Bob Dylan and members of his Rolling Thunder Revue (the house is featured in the tour film Renaldo and Clara). Now run by ex-actor Daniel Osman, the eclecticly decorated Dream Away presents the finest in acoustic-based acts. 7/11 ChronograM berkshire travel guide 85

PEACEFUL WARRIORS
Aikido & the Force of Love by wendy kagan illustration by annie internicola
R
oll open the barn doors in a Woodstock artists’ colony and you’ll witness a scene of beauty and grace. Men and women enrobed in white and black perform a fluid dance of power and restraint. Sometimes they spin like human pinwheels, thumping the padded floor, yet in another breath they’re standing firm, ready to thwart one another with what seems like the barest flip of the thumb or wrist. With light streaming through the antique windows, it’s less like a scene in an action flick than it is a Japanese painting— elegant and precise yet with strong Catskills motifs. In many ways, the martial art of Aikido is painting a brushstroke of bold serenity across the region. It took root here in the Byrdcliffe barns, where Woodstock Aikido came to life almost 25 years ago as the realized vision of its founder, Harvey Konigsberg Sensei. One of only a handful of non-Japanese Aikido instructors in the world to hold the rank of seventh degree black belt, and also a master painter, Konigsberg inspires almost pious devotion among students both here and at the New York Aikikai in Manhattan, where he also teaches. One student half-jokingly describes the 71-year-old sensei as “the rabbi I never had”; several disciples live in the area just to be around Konigsberg and his dojo. Encouraged by their teacher, a few senior students have gone on to open their own dojos in surrounding towns such as Phoenicia, Kingston, and Kripplebush. Others have woven the discipline’s mind-body-spirit connection into their work off the mat in surprising ways, spreading the tenets of nonviolence that distinguish Aikido from other martial arts. The Protective Samurai Developed in the early 20th century, Aikido—the art of peace—is one of the youngest martial arts and perhaps the most spiritually evolved. Its founder, Morihei Ueshiba—often called O-Sensei, or “Great Teacher”—died in the same year of the Woodstock peace-and-love music fest, 1969. And such was his way.While Ueshiba was an expert at several kinds of martial arts as a young man, around midlife he experienced an awakening: He realized that the way of the warrior is to manifest love rather than breed aggression. In this light the warrior’s goal is not to destroy or slaughter but to protect all living things in a spirit of unity. A peaceable martial art was born. On a typical Saturday morning at Woodstock Aikido, Konigsberg rings the cow bell, its soft sound heralding the beginning of class. When the sensei demonstrates the first technique, he uses few words and hardly seems to move at times, making his mastery of the forms look effortless. As the class progresses, with groups of two or three enacting techniques on the mat, it’s easy to see how Aikido’s ideals of nonviolence come through in the physical practice. 86 whole living ChronograM 7/11
There are no punches or kicks. Instead one student role-plays the beginning of an aggressive act—such as a hand outstretched to strike—while her partner counters the attack with techniques designed to neutralize or redirect their energy. Sometimes the move is a throw, sending the attacker somersaulting through the air, and sometimes it’s a pin that renders the partner immobile yet leaves him unharmed. Concentrating on the core of the body—the source of “ki,” or life force, just below the navel—practitioners flow through circular movements that harmonize and blend with each other, resolving conflict instead of escalating it. Yet Aikido is not soft; it is quite powerful. “If you have to, you can do damage,” says Konigsberg later in the dojo’s common room, which is adorned with a few of the sensei’s luminous paintings. “Within each technique you can issue harm or choose not to. Aikido has a life and death aspect; this is what it was based on. But it’s moved to a point where we take care of our partner. You have the flowing quality of dance but the edge of a martial art, which gives it a certain center.” Why do you need to protect an attacker who wants to hurt you? “In some cases you can’t,” says Konigsberg. “But if you have the option, the same principles and techniques that will protect him will also protect you.” True Empowerment A slender 50-something woman throws a burly younger man easily to the ground. A child tussles with a man four times his age and twice his size, while a prison guard tumbles with a Wall Street honcho up from the city for the weekend. The discipline draws practitioners from all walks of life, and anyone can partake in the dynamic, spinning kaleidoscope that is Aikido. More than just roughhouse play, this is a martial art that can save your life. Ralph Legnini, a West Shokan-based musician and fourth degree black belt who teaches Woodstock Aikido’s children’s classes, will never forget the day when his many years of practice crystalized in one New York City minute. About seven years ago, Legnini was eating lunch in a Manhattan bistro when a big guy came in and started harassing people. “He seemed totally nuts. He was taking people’s food and preaching about the Lord.” The man came right up to Legnini with a verbal assault and a threat of “I’m going to cut you in half,” reaching into his pocket for what Legnini thought might be a knife (he learned later that it was). Despite having one arm in a cast from recent surgery, Legnini was able to use his good arm in a classic Aikido move to grip his attacker and pin him down.When the police arrived soon after to take the man into custody, it took three officers to restrain him. Legnini recalls, “He was yelling, ‘Get me away from that guy, he was doing voodoo on me!’” The officers were so impressed
by Legnini’s moves that they later started studying Aikido themselves. Nowadays, Legnini is a part of the martial art’s growing Catskills presence. In December 2010, heeding the encouragement of his primary teacher, Konigsberg Sensei, he opened Shandaken Aikido on Main Street in Phoenicia. Here Legnini teaches about four classes a week for kids, teens, and adults— all well received by the community. He is already thinking of expanding to a larger space. Legnini says many children and parents are drawn to Aikido because unlike most other martial arts it is noncompetitive. In the kids’ classes that he teaches in both Woodstock and Phoenicia, there is no testing and no tiered system of belt colors. The format is based on respect and cooperation. Yet kids feel empowered as they learn to move from their center and master skills that let even a first-grade girl hurl a grownup man to the ground. “This is the beauty of Aikido,” Legnini explains to his Woodstock kids’ group after demonstrating a technique. “You don’t have to be bigger or stronger than your opponent—as long as the technique is fluid and the mind is free and confident.” Self-Defense and More Practitioners of all ages can benefit from the martial art’s potential perks: improved cardiovascular health; increased strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination; greater focus and attention; a calm mind and a relaxed body. Bob Wilcox, a fifth degree black belt who runs his Kingston Aikido dojo out of a built-from-scratch green building on East Chester Street, says the martial art takes a certain type: people who are interested in not only self-defense but also personal development. “It’s about being kind to people,” says Wilcox. Yet Wilcox finds that Aikido’s cooperative aspect is easily misunderstood. “People think that means you’re just going along with things,” he says. “That’s not the case. Everyone has the same goal—to resolve conflict peacefully—but you actually need to be somewhat aggressive to learn Aikido properly.You have to role-play and really attack people. That way when someone is truly threatening, you can maintain your center and not allow emotion to come into play. You can put them down gently, and that takes practice.You have to reach deep into yourself to really do that.” Wilcox is quick to point out Aikido’s joyful aspects—such as learning to fall and roll, which many practitioners find the most fun part of the practice. Some of his students have used these skills in real-life situations such as slipping on ice or wiping out on a bicycle without getting hurt. Perhaps that’s what keeps so many students coming back. In operation since 1999, Kingston Aikido has a membership that Wilcox describes as solid and growing. The schedule offers
two or three classes a day, including kids’ classes taught by Marilyn St. John, who like Wilcox has studied for years with Woodstock’s Konigsberg Sensei. A Path of Harmony To practice Aikido’s tenets of love and compassion in the company of a highly realized teacher is one thing; but to bring it off the mat and into your life and work is quite another. Such is the case with Eric Schneider, a lawyer with offices in Kingston who bases his style on Aikido’s ideals of cooperation and peace. Going against the grain of the contentious personalities that usually preside over courtroom litigation, Schneider reaches for a different kind of power—gentler, but no less potent—to argue his cases.This unusual approach has earned him some limelight moments, including a 1997 article in the New York Times that profiled his “peacefully aggressive” style. “If my adversary is angry and combative, as so many litigators are, I don’t return it,” says Schneider. “When their brains are splashed with adrenaline they are actually harming their own effectiveness. I get that much more soft and try to make strong arguments with love.” Schneider, who has been practicing Aikido for over 10 years, mostly at Konigsberg’s Woodstock dojo, keeps a copy of O-Sensei’s book of aphorisms, The Art of Peace, on his desk and uses Aikido techniques for breathing and positive thinking to calm himself and still the tension in his body before a high-profile case. These methods have helped him win even despite tough odds. A few years ago Schneider had a client in a felony trial who had confessed to a police officer on tape. A guilty verdict seemed inevitable.Yet during the trial Schneider reached into his “ki” and managed to stay loose and confident while the opposing lawyer was rigid and prosecutorial. The jurors liked him. To a stunned courtroom they pronounced Schneider’s client “not guilty.” It’s Aikido’s most basic principles that make it such a powerful martial art—whether on the mat or in the street or courtroom. “The highest form of any art is to simplify,” says Konigsberg. “I had a kid come into the dojo a couple of years ago who said, ‘How do you guys get tough?’ I said, ‘We’re not tough, we just train to be more spontaneous and more natural. This is an art to become more natural.’” Resources Woodstock Aikido (845) 679-8153 Kingston Aikido (845) 679-0506 Shandaken Aikido (845) 750-5516 Eric Schneider, Esq., Kingston (845) 339-6733 7/11 ChronograM whole living 87

Flowers Fall By Bethany Saltman
Yet, though it is like this, simply, flowers fall amid our longing, and weeds spring up amid our antipathy. — Dogen Zenji, Genjokoan
Taking the Attachment Parenting Challenge: A Week in Italy!
T
his month T and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary. I just looked through some pictures of our gorgeous, crazy Buddhist wedding at Opus 40. Man. I always used to say that marrying T was the best thing I ever did for my family, being the football-playing, normal, supernice guy that he is, a far cry from the moody bookworms of my past. But in fact, marrying T was the best thing I ever did for myself. For the same reasons, but more, too. Not the least of which is our life as parents, together. This wild road of self-study, of learning how to be bodhisattvas, of learning what it means to love—each other, our child, the whole catastrophe (as Daido Roshi used to say). And so, as parents who, like most, feel deeply grateful for our lives, but stretched, too, we figured it would be nice to take a moment (a week to be exact) to be alone, to celebrate our 10 years of marriage. I’ve never been to Europe and was dying to go. So after much hemming and hawing, we decided to take the plunge. By the time this hits the stands, T and I will be in Italy, and Azalea will be with T’s parents, her beloved Jean and Pop-Pop. It’s not like we have never been away from her before. We have stolen away for a few weekends over the last five years, done several retreats, and gone on many dates. However, traveling abroad, and for so long, feels pretty radical. We planned the trip last year, when Azalea was four, figuring that by the time she was five, she would be even more okay with a big separation than she was then. Unfortunately, this may not be so. In fact, maybe because of our impending trip, and kindergarten looming ahead, or some combination of it all, along with the inevitable mystery that is always guiding any human unfolding, Azalea is feeling more tender than usual, a little more fearful, actually less secure. Yikes. This morning when I asked her what she wanted to do today, she responded, “Be with mama.” And so, when I randomly received Natural Life magazine in the mail, and then read the article called “Separation Anxiety?” by the well-known author and turbo-attachment-parenting advocate Naomi Aldort, I was in a perfect position to receive her teaching, such as it is. “By nature, there is no such thing as ‘separation anxiety,’” Aldort writes. “Instead, there is a healthy need of a child to be with her mother [sic]. Only a deprivation of a need creates anxiety.…The concept ‘separation anxiety’ is the invention of a society that denies a baby and child’s need for uninterrupted connection. In this vein, we can deprive a child of food and describe her reaction as ‘hunger anxiety,’ or we can let her be cold and call her cries ‘temperature anxiety.’” In another paragraph, Aldort writes, “We create anxiety when we deprive, manipulate, and try to stir the child with our expectation that she be what she is not.” Reeling from the words deprivation, denies, uninterrupted connection, deprive (again), hunger, cold, deprive!!, manipulate, I felt a need to tell Aldort how I felt. So I wrote her an e-mail. 90 whole living ChronograM 7/11
Hi Ms. Aldort, I write a monthly column called Flowers Fall in a Hudson Valley magazine on being a Buddhist mom, which I am. I just read your piece in Natural Life and might discuss it in my next column, and I was wondering if you might like to comment and/or be interviewed. In a nutshell, while I agree with much of your basic premise about how our culture seeks to cut the cord way too soon and privileges independence ridiculously early (and from the Buddhist perspective of interdependence, quite impossibly), I find some of your language to be very harsh toward parents, and accusatory, and I don’t see how that helps anyone. Saying that we are “denying and manipulating” our kids feels mean and could easily lead to already anxious parents feeling more wound up, which ultimately lands with their children. Guilty parents don’t tend to offer themselves “authentically,” to use your word. And she responded right away: Dear Bethany, […] Generally, I give lots of credit to parents and count on them to be able to depart from old dogma without feeling guilt or taking it personally. I do often put in words like, “No need to feel guilty....it is a learning process.” In a way I don’t treat parents with soft gloves. Neither does Zen Buddhism. I think parents can only make progress from facing the truth head on. It is ruthless kindness.When we drag a person out of the stormy water, we don’t do it kindly, and yet it is the kindest action. I hear what Aldort’s saying, though, for the record, Zen practice, as I know it anyway, is nothing if not devoted to delivering its profoundly tender message of perfection with skillful means. Guilt and shame aren’t usually that skillful. But I digress. I appreciated her willingness to go there with me, a stranger, and to add some softening caveats like “it is a learning process.” And, in fact, much of what she says about how to trust and respect children and their needs I totally agree with, and I admire her very much. And when I told her in another e-mail about our trip, and asked for her take on it, she admitted that she does not know Azalea, and that there are no rules that fit all. However, she added, “The child who is ripe for separation will have only good sense of herself and her independence. Never anxiety. Even one premature experience can delay that sense of confidence for years and leave marks for life.” Only? Never? For life? I guess the main thing Aldort and I completely disagree on is certainty. It’s as though she knows something the rest of us don’t, like exactly how everything works. Confidence is one thing, and it can be developed by truly trusting each moment, but to be that sure about a complex human process actually scares me. Do I feel ambivalent about going? Totally. Do I think that our lives and relationships are more mysterious than anything that can come out of one trip or most single decisions? Absolutely. While I won’t be able to report back on whether or not this trip will scar Azalea for life, I will write when we return and describe what I can see as the effects of our having taken up this challenge with our hearts and eyes open. I know for sure that I will miss Azalea, and that she will miss me. I wonder what else we are all missing.

Healing the New-Fashioned Way By Ann Hutton
Pediatrician Dr. Adeola Ayodeji attending to one of Greater Hudson Valley Family Health Center’s youngest patients during a well-child visit.
C
hanges in medical technology occur so rapidly that healing professionals are compelled to update their knowledge and training just to stay current. Meanwhile, the rest of us amble on with a pedestrian vocabulary of medical procedures until something happens, like an illness or a physical breakdown. It might suddenly seem that amazing new diagnostic instruments are available, that outpatient services have been drastically expanded, and our basic understanding of medical terms is lagging. A brief survey of what’s new is in order.
Digital Imaging Medical practitioners and facilities of the Hudson Valley region offer some of the best in medical technological advancements. Many area dentists are now using Diagnodent lasers and intraoral cameras to augment digital X-ray appliances, for example. Digital imaging not only minimizes radiation exposure due to the fewer number of images taken, but also offers the advantage of easily stored and retrieved patient images for reference and transfer purposes. Most medical facilities have converted to digital imaging as a regular practice in lieu of film radiographs. Certainly digital mammography is faster, safer, and more precise in terms of deciphering exactly what is seen on a patient’s image.When a radiologist can zoom in and enhance a picture—and do it almost instantly—a patient’s results can be determined immediately and with greater accuracy. In Kingston, the consolidation of the Fern Feldman Anolick Breast Center at Benedictine Hospital and The Greenspan Center for Women’s Health at Kingston Hospital is culminating in a new, state-of-the-art Center for Breast Health, to be located in the Thomas A. Dee Cancer Center on the Benedictine Hospital campus. Lead mammographer Gail Muench says that when the new center opens in the fall, the comprehensive program will include not only mammography and ulstrasound, but also breast MRI and breast specific gamma imaging (BSGI). Ultrasonography is an imaging technique using high-frequency sound waves that are sent through body tissue to produce an image—a sonogram— on a viewing screen. BSGI, a technology not currently offered in the region, involves injecting a nuclear contrast medicine into tissue, and is particularly useful in detecting cancers smaller than one centimeter. Mammography remains the first method of detection for breast cancers but
doesn’t always relay complete and clear diagnostic information. Ultrasonography, BSGI, and breast MRI, which shoots cross-sectional pictures behind the breast and deep into the chest wall, are all used for more complete auxiliary diagnoses. Muench and her associates are very pleased about soon having BSGI in their array of options. “Patients won’t have to wait the typical six-months for doctors to watch questionable lesions when deciding to biopsy or not,” says Muench. “There will be a learning curve for us, but it’s very exciting. That six-month wait was always a problem for us, and it’s very stressful for the patient.” Minimally Invasive Techniques Minimally invasive techniques in surgery requiring only very small incisions have begun to reach science fiction levels of wonder. Dr. Elisa Burns of Mount Kisco Medical Group reports how robotically assisted, laparoscopic surgery has altered gynecological treatments, offering patients less pain, a lower risk of infection, minimal scarring, decreased blood loss, and faster recovery times. “Patients who have undergone minimally invasive hysterectomies are now going home the day of or the day after surgery, and generally go back to work within one to two weeks,” Dr. Burns says. “We are now also performing minimally invasive surgery for endometrial cancers. At Northern Westchester Hospital, we use their da Vinci robot, a sophisticated and precise tool.” It has a 3-D, high-resolution video feature that provides better visualization of the robotic surgical process. Burns says that some cancer patients can undergo surgery one day and be released the next. Endovascular surgery is another minimally invasive technique performed by radiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, cardiologists, and vascular surgeons, accessing regions of the body via major blood vessels. Interventional radiology can be used to diagnose pathology by injecting a radio-opaque dye that can be seen on live X-ray or fluoroscopy, and to treat these with image-guided instruments like needles and catheters. Both are offered at MD Imaging/Valley Endovascular in Poughkeepsie, where trauma is minimized for patients of aortic aneurysms, atherosclerosis, vascular injury, and other coronary diseases, reducing both infection rates and recovery time, as well as shortening hospital stays. Dr. Gary Grossman, medical director at MD Imaging, describes how a 7/11 ChronograM medicine and healing 97

catheter device inserted into a blood vessel that supplies an ailing or damaged organ can introduce chemotherapy or blood-blocking material directly. “For example, instead of undergoing major surgery for removal of a fibroid tumor, a patient has the option where we can actually put a catheter in the uterine artery and inject some material that will cause the fibroid to shrink, avoiding a traditional six-week recovery from hysterectomy. That can be done on an outpatient basis as well.” Transforming the Patient Experience Other kinds of technological advances are transforming patients’ experience of medical service in simple, but vastly improved, ways. As facilities are newly built or reconfigured, consideration for efficiency, safety, and patients’ emotional well-being are more often taken into consideration. At Benedictine Hospital, a member of Health Alliance of Hudson Valley, a new Pre-Surgical Testing Unit will provide all the tests required before surgery in one location, to accomplish health history reviews and physical exams in one visit. And the new Infusion Therapy Center, also located on the Benedictine campus, will provide chemotherapy, IV therapy, injections, blood product transfusions, and other outpatient therapeutic services, in 12 private and two semiprivate treatment areas, outfitted with flat screen TVs, comfortable recliners, free WiFi, and a patient nourishment station. The conversion to electronic patient medical record keeping is another way hospitals are utilizing new technologies. Dr. John Horiszny, president of the medical staff and director of the hospitalist program at Northern Dutchess Hospital in Rhinebeck, talks about the multiphase project of digitizing patient information. “Before we went live with our current system, information about patients could be in many different places,” says Dr. Horiszny. “Their vital signs could be on a chart at bedside, their X-rays in the radiology department; reports from consultants, lab results, and microbiology results could all be on separate computer programs. This new system puts everything together, and physicians can look at a single page to access all the pertinent information for their patients.” Dr. Horiszny emphasizes that the system is internal to all Health Quest offices and is password protected, accessible only to doctors or others directly responsible for patients. At Greater Hudson Valley Family Health Center in Newburgh, where electronic health records and patient information are also being implemented, the new building has more than three times as many exam rooms as the old one. Spokesman Ken Mackintosh reports that a wait-time study showed it used to take an average of 45 minutes for a patient to be put in direct contact with a nurse, primarily due to the dearth of exam rooms. By simply installing more rooms, patients receive faster attention in a more streamlined protocol. “In this environment, a ‘patient-centered medical home,’ a comprehensive array of medical needs is coordinated all in one setting, from primary care to follow-ups, referrals testing, dental care, and behavioral health care,” says Mackintosh. “As well as chemical dependency and substance abuse treatment services, we also provide full pharmacy and limited radiology services.” Greater Hudson holds triple designation as a federally qualified health center, a community health center, and a NYS-licensed diagnostic and treatment center. Mackintosh reiterates, “Just because you’re providing care for people without choice doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the best.” Innovations in medical technology seem to indicate a trend towards a more humane and empathetic experience. Compassionate, personalized care is seen to be a vital element in meeting individual needs, and, in fact, usually does so more efficiently.

Estelle Bajou and Rita Rehn star in the world premiere of "Jackass Flats" at the Shadowland Theatre in Ellenville this month.
Destination Revelation It’s almost five o’clock in the morning, Valentine’s Day, 1952. A worldly-wise housewife, her young daughter, and her recently married sister-in-law are driving through Las Vegas. Just hours before, the mother, Kay (Rita Rehn), was excited to give her daughter, Lana Dee (Amelia Rose Allen), a gift she would never forget—driving to a place called Jackass Flats in Mercury, Nevada. But the sister-in-law, Virginia “Ginny” (Estelle Bajou), a Mormon country girl from Utah, unexpectedly drops in during the middle of the night, inviting herself on the road trip. Although the two women’s views on life clash throughout their journey, the three generations in the car get to their destination just in time to come together and witness an important turning point in the American evolution. “Jackass Flats” will run through July 10 at Ellenville’s Shadowland Theatre in its premiere production. Seventeen years after writing the first draft of “Jackass Flats,” Napanoch-based couple C. C. Loveheart and John Simon completed the play. While still in the making, “Jackass Flats” was the winner of the Maxwell Anderson Award for best unproduced play of 1997. The play dives into the development of a motherdaughter relationship with a gambling and philandering husband and father. Actor/writer/director Loveheart, who has appeared on television shows like “Law and Order” and “One Life to Live,” began writing the story in 1995. Her husband, veteran music producer Simon, who has worked with musicians like The Band, jumped on as coauthor two years later. The play is somewhat autobiographical; Kay is loosely modeled on Loveheart’s mother, a tough cookie but a well-respected homemaker who put family above everything. Loveheart also filters in her own Las Vegas experiences through nine-year-old tomboy Lana Dee.
Kay and Ginny are the classic odd couple whose mismatched experiences create the play’s comic tension. As 19-year-old Ginny tries to hold onto her Mormon moral perspective, she turns to Kay, a 40-year-old Vegas veteran, for guidance as she faces her new lifestyle and the unfamiliar world she married into. Both Kay and Ginny question their marriages and their husbands’ loyalty; Ginny realizes that even her values have contradictions; Lana Dee learns what the real world is all about. Jackass Flats is a place of revelation for the three, where through love and survival, they discover more about themselves. Although the men are spoken about, they are merely background noise in the play. The only other “character” present is the radio that plays cigarette advertisements and 1950s hits like “Tennessee Waltz.” According to Brendan Burke, Shadowland’s artistic director and the director of the play, “Jackass Flats” is an innovative ensemble piece for women. “It’s got three great women’s roles. It’s difficult to find shows with roles that women can really enjoy and explore. That was a major priority while looking for a piece.” The play, in a truncated form, was read at Shadowland’s Ulster County Playwright Festival in 2009. Now, it’s finally ready for its first full run. “I think it’s a great play that could eventually be published and have a life beyond here,” says Burke. “Jackass Flats” will be staged through July 10 at the Shadowland Theatre in Ellenville. Thursday-Saturday, 8pm, $30; Sunday, 2pm, $25. Senior and Student Discount, $2. (845) 647-5511;. —Zan Strumfeld

ART BOSCOBEL image provided
Oil Tank Map of the World by Cal Lane is being exhibited as part of the "Current" exhibit, Garrison Art Center's annual sculpture show at Boscobel through October 10.
Memory of a Sphere “We wanted to take art outside of our own four walls,” says Carinda Swann, director of the Garrison Art Center. She is speaking of “Current,” the center’s sixth survey of contemporary sculpture, at Boscobel in Garrison. The show runs until October 10. Completed in 1808, Boscobel has one of the great Hudson River views—looking out on West Point and Constitution Island. Its house is considered a premier example of Federal architecture. The grounds comprise 45 acres. “A lot of people questioned it initially: ‘What do you mean you’re going to put modern sculpture on the grounds of Boscobel?’ But it’s been a happy marriage. People love it,” observes Swann. Walking through Boscobel’s lawns and gardens, visitors stumble upon artworks unexpectedly, as if upon trysting lovers. Serendipity improves art; in a sense, serendipity is art. “For the artists in our show, it’s fantastic exposure, because probably 40,000 to 50,000 people come through there in the summer,” notes Swann. As a nod to the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, which is held at Boscobel, Judy Sigunick created two ceramic portraits of Shakespearean heroes: Viola and Cesario from “Twelfth Night.” In fact, the two characters are one: Viola adopts the guise of a boy, and the name Cesario, after being shipwrecked on the coast of Illyria. “They stand and welcome people as they enter the rose garden,” explains Swann. Al Landzberg’s Double Cee is a minimal steel work that—as the title hints—looks like two letter Cs joined together. Both ends are pointed, suggesting the horns of a bull. It’s a miniature treatise on symmetry, reposing beneath a low tree. Martha Posner sculpted 15 site-specific dancers out of twisted honeysuckle vines.
The larger-than-life figures prance by a pond, beneath a stand of birches. The Garrison Art Center has been pursuing Cal Lane for several years. The reclusive sculptor carves lacy patterns into found metal materials, such as shovels, wheelbarrows and dumpsters, with a welding torch. “Current” includes her oil tank with a map of the world incised into it. Lane has said she feels like a “guilty bystander” while our nation fights wars for oil. She recently received a commission to cut a pattern into a 62-foot submarine, in Tivat, Montenegro. Spheres by Grace Knowlton resembles five deflated soccer balls, made of steel and copper. The pieces sit near a tall geyserlike fountain. Spheres has a profound silliness. The title is ironic; Knowlton often uses the motif of the crushed sphere. In fact, absent spheres recur in the show. Cal Lane represents the earth as a flattened map. Balance at 45 by Alex Kveton is like a red stylized hand holding an absent sphere. Mother and Child by Jennie M. Currie implies that the Earth is the daughter of the sun—two spheres (though both represented by circles). Posner’s dancers—might they be playing ball? If I were titling the show, I’d be tempted to choose “Memory of a Sphere.” All the sculptures are for sale, with proceeds going to the Gillette Scholarship Fund, which allows any adult or child in need to attend classes at the Garrison Art Center. Each summer, the organization offers a three-week program for young children, then another three weeks for high school students. Both programs focus on the visual arts. “Current” will be exhibited at Boscobel, 1601 Route 9D, Garrison, until October 10. (845) 265-3638;. —Sparrow

Through the end of August, leading contemporary artists will create and present new works in this fourth annual festival. Surrounded by the Catskill Mountains, MTA will exhibit a variety of art, including theatre, music, and dance. Brian Rogers/ The Chocolate Factory Theater’s Hot Box on Saturday, July 23 takes an avant-garde cinematic experience into the dance idiom. Inspired by movies like Apocalypse Now, this piece uses a vocabulary of pans, zooms, and cuts for a loud and violent show choreographed for three performers. Every Friday night during the festival a Food for the Arts Barbecue will feature performances and music along with food from MTA’s organic garden. $20 per show. $95, season tickets.

Thrill to Power Dixie Sheridan
For the past 26 years, Vassar College and New York Stage and Film have presented the summer Powerhouse Theater season at Vassar, where audiences can experience the challenges and excitement of plays as they’re being developed. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Johanna Pfaelzer, Powerhouse supports established and upcoming artists. During the season, the directors and actors dorm on the Vassar campus, constructing a creative environment. “I think what’s important about the work we do here is that we support and protect these artists in their process,” says Pfaelzer. “I think they come here because they have the opportunity to work with really amazing collaborators. They have this amazing audience that really engages with them in the process of finding the play.” Past Powerhouse residents include writers Christopher Durang, Steve Martin, and John Patrick Shanley; directors Mark Brokaw, Liz Swados, and David Warren; and actors Chris Cooper, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Meryl Streep. The 2011 season kicks off Powerhouse’s 27th year with returning writers Duncan Sheik, Steven Sater, and Patricia Wettig, while also introducing talents like Gabriel Kahane, Ed Hime, and Mona Mansour. There are a few international artists as well, including Australian writer Joanna Murray-Smith. “This is a really ambitious season. For whatever reason, the projects we’re working on right now have a real theatrical scale to them, which is exciting to see. I think if anything it’s the scope of what these writers are tempting to do. This year is about size and scale,” says Pfaelzer. The Powerhouse Theater season continues through July 31. Full subscription, $170; matinee subscription, $59.50. Single ticket prices: mainstage, $35; Martel musicals, $30; Inside Look series, $20; Reading Festivals, free. (845) 437-5599.. —Zan Strumfeld
MAIN STAGE
INSIDE LOOK PLAY WORKSHOPS
F2M by Patricia Wettig; directed by Maria Mileaf Through July 10 Freshman year of college is always a challenge, especially if you’re changing from female to male. Starring Talia Balsam (“Mad Men”), “F2M” shows how the transition not only affects a body but also a famous family.
Margaret and Craig by David Solomon; directed by Sheryl Kaller July 1-3 Mario Cantone (“Sex and the City”) takes on the role of 1970s female impersonator Craig Russell, performing as women like Judy Garland and Bette Davis. Craig and childhood best friend, author Margaret, battle with the demons of fame. Their relationship changes and grows when they encourage one another when no one else dared to.
A Maze by Rob Handel; directed by Sam Buntrock July 20-31 How does a graphic novelist, a musician, and a young girl recreating her identity interconnect with each other? See how the highly theatrical “A Maze” takes on power, love, addiction, and the impulse to create. Starring Daniel Oreskes (“Billy Elliot”) and Rebecca Naomi Jones (“American Idiot”).
MARTEL MUSICAL WORKSHOPS
Handball by Seth Zvi Rosenfel; directed by Candido Tirado July 15-17 A handball court is the place for growing relationships in the heat of a New York City summer. Rob Morrow (“Northern Exposure”) joins the cast of multiple generations of men who explore how people of different backgrounds, social classes, and values can depend on and betray one another.
The Nightingale book and lyrics by Steven Sater; music by Duncan Sheik; directed by Moises Kaufman July 8-10 Returning creators of the Tony Award-winning “Spring Awakening” bring their wild imaginations into their musical version of the Hans Christian Anderson fable “The Nightingale.” The story slips into the world of a young emperor and his yearning for something outside his palace walls.
SPECIAL MUSICAL PRESENTATION
February House music and lyrics by Gabriel Kahane; book by Seth Bockley; directed by Davis McCallum July 14-16 1940s Brooklyn Heights: artists including poets W. H. Auden and composer Benjamin Britten shack up together for comfort and inspiration in a time of war. Based on a true story, “February House” shows the dynamic influences artists have on one another. Starring Santino Fontana from “Billy Elliot.”
READING FESTIVALS
Piece of My Heart music and lyrics by Bert Berns; book by Daniel Goldfarb, Brett Berns, Cassandra Berns; directed by Leigh Silverman July 29-31 The daughter of songwriting dynamo Bert Berns is on a quest to learn about her father. Writing hits like “Twist and Shout” and “Under the Boardwalk,” Berns’ short life is revealed and celebrated in this musical. With Linda Hart (“Catch Me If You Can,” “Hairspray”) and Jarrod Spector (“Jersey Boys”).
Wuthering by Mark Lindberg (July 7, 14, 21, 28) A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare (July 8-11) Dream Play by August Strindberg; new version by Caryl Churchill (June 22-25) Cymbeline by William Shakespeare (July 15-18) Condensed versions of the classics are performed by the Powerhouse Apprentice Company. Mark Lindberg’s “Wuthering” is a “Soundpainted” dance theater piece based on Wuthering Heights and set to a 1979 disco album by composer John Ferrara.
The Island Musical by Dar Williams; directed by Jeremy Dobrish July 17 When the inhabitants of a beautiful island find out one of its elements is extremely valuable, they must face the outside world and reclaim what was once theirs. Before becoming a national hit, singer/songwriter Dar Williams started writing plays her senior year of high school and studied theater at Wesleyan University.
July 29-31 Powerhouse’s Readings Festivals showcase the earliest stage of play development. The cast and director meet for just four days going over the piece. One of the more popular parts of the Powerhouse season, audiences can be the first to witness possible plays for upcoming seasons (“F2M” was read at 2010’s Readings Festival).

theater hudson valley shakespeare festival image provided The cast of Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival's "The Comedy of Errors" on the grounds of Boscobel in Garrison..” Yet after having directed works as varied as the Bard’s “Pericles,” “Cymbeline,” “The Tempest,” “Macbeth,” and “Titus Andronicus,” O’Brien finally felt equal to taking on the moody Dane. One impetus for his decision was meeting actor Matthew Amendt, who performed in last year’s HVSF production of “Troilus and Cressida.” O’Brien felt that this new member of his company had the stuff to overcome the built-in liabilities of the role of the brooding prince of Elsinore. “The part has a lot of pitfalls, not the least of which, it tends to make the player feel very egomaniacal,” the director says. “Consequently, productions tend to end up all centered not on the character but on the actor playing the character.” Yet Amendt showed no evidence of an expansive ego. O’Brien invited him to return this season, to face the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.” is “The Comedy of Errors,” another chestnut previously mounted by HVSF. While this is a play “that people take for granted,” he says, “Comedy” evinces a complexity that belies the youthful age of its creator.
This mad caper about twins and mistaken identity offers more than a tickle of the funny bone; O’Brien points out subplots concerning the gravitas of marriage, matters of gender identity, and observations about the shared biology of twins separated at birth. Rounding out the 2011 season is “Around the World in 80 Days,” based on the 1873 novel by Jules Verne. Its inclusion is a nod to both current fiscal realities and the shifting winds of American literacy. At a time when Shakespeare is not automatically taught in secondary school, the next generation of theatergoer is understandably skittish about the frilly verbiage of an Elizabethan playwright. Therefore, O’Brien has capitulated, albeit nobly, in order to “introduce people to us who would otherwise be afraid of Shakespeare, but we might eventually be able to bring them over to the Shakespeare side of the park.” Previous attempts at expanding the HVSF audience have included “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged),” a frantic condensation of all 37 pieces for the theater, as well as “The Bomb-itty of Errors,” a hip-hop nod to the august farce. The Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival once distinguished itself with youthful brashness, giving the master overtly post-modern readings. (The 2007 “Richard III” depicted the king as a bipolar despot.) But self-conscious iconoclasm is less of a priority for the festival’s next quarter-century, O’Brien says. “Increasingly, what I’ve been trying to do is get out of the way of the play and let the play do more of the work.” “Around the World in 80 Days,” “The Comedy of Errors,” and “Hamlet” will be performed in repertory at the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival, at Boscobel in Garrison through September 4.

Eclipse in Cancer, Chiron in Pisces
F
or the past couple of years we have been living under the influence of an alignment in the cardinal signs—Pluto arriving in Capricorn in 2008, followed by Saturn and Uranus making their way into Libra and Aries. These three powerhouses have been dancing around the early cardinal cross— right around where the Sun is when it changes seasons—stirring up all kinds of mischief and adventure. The cardinal cross consists of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. 122 planet waves ChronograM 7/11. There is an alternative, and that is about keeping your creative juices flowing and your mind alert; this takes discipline. And as my friend Abraham reminds me, it may be the only thing worthy of discipline. The July 1 eclipse is the third in a series of three eclipses—a partial solar
happened first in Gemini on June 1, a total lunar in Sagittarius on June 15, and then the partial solar in Cancer on July 1. Eclipses are part of much longer cycles, and within each cluster or grouping of eclipses, each individual event is part of a different cycle (called a Saros cycle). What is interesting is that the June 1 event came toward the end of a very long Saros cycle; the June 15 one was the peak of a cycle and the July 1 eclipse is the very first in a brand-new cycle—the first eclipse of a brand-new sequence that will last for many centuries. To me, something like this is about opening up new emotional territory, never before visited. The eclipse takes place in Cancer and arrives in grand style as part of a grand cross. Yet the sign Cancer has some special meaning in terms of personal evolution, as it’s the sign of incarnation. It’s also the sign we associate with emotional grounding, family, and security. And as such an emotional sign, it would be the epicenter of the emotional healing process I’ve been describing for months now, though of course anything happening in Scorpio and Pisces would be part of that, too. And we do have this—Chiron and Neptune gathering in Pisces, plus several newly discovered but very compelling points in Scorpio. The presence of planets in the water signs, and an eclipse in one of the water signs, suggests that the emotional level is one to focus on right now, and Chiron in Pisces points to the theme of healing. Healing begins with awareness; that is the mark of Chiron. An eclipse in the sign Cancer points directly to the theme of family. I would say that the basic need for emotional healing is connected with unresolved family baggage, resentment caused by failures in relationships, social struggles including a sense of feeling like an outcast that is commonplace even among popular people, and the ongoing, sometimes subtle and sometimes overt agony of living amidst too many rules about sex. All of this points to toxic shame, a problem so pervasive we have barely begun to see it for what it is. It is difficult to see in an environment where we’re constantly shamed and where one of the most pervasive emotions is guilt. As with fear, when we encounter toxic shame, we tend to turn off our feelings so that we don’t have to experience them. This is basically the trap, and it’s everywhere—with every option we have to shut down, from drinking one of those things at Starbucks that somehow combines 25 grams of sugar with a huge dose of sodium, to indulging in endless “entertainment.” As time goes on, the pressure builds, and we see it release in destructive ways, such as people in Vancouver trashing their own city this week because their team lost the Stanley Cup. There is a lot of pent up energy. I think many people feel the psychological term “repression” is quaint, but pent up means repressed, and it’s not just all those drunk hockey fans that are experiencing the pain of this. Clearly, they were revolting against something. The subtle question is, in what ways do you feel held down, and in what ways do you rebel, or try to? Usually this kind of rebellion is not so artful; it is the destructive use of creative energy. One of the first things we do in an emotional healing phase is figure out how to put that same energy to good use. As Chiron and Neptune begin to make their way across Pisces, a transit that will last for nearly a decade, the emphasis shifts to our emotional lives. The July 1 eclipse in Cancer will influence us for the next six months to two years. So the route to healing would seem to be to enter our feelings rather than avoid them. That does not just mean negative feelings. I also mean the pleasures you want that you might deny yourself, be they emotional, aesthetic, or erotic. We tend to be pleasure-aversive in our culture; we want the clean, automated kind of highly controlled fun that does not cause us to change or take a chance. But we remain human, at least for now—we cannot live on autopilot, always looking for the safest route. Getting into your feelings doesn’t have to be a total immersion. Sometimes it’s better to approach one’s feelings from the edge, to lightly touch them and acknowledge what’s going on inside. Sometimes it works beautifully to go there with your imagination first. For many, the idea that comes with this will be something like; “I am not going to pretend anymore”—whatever that pretending may entail, and for others, it might be, “I’m going to be real about this right now,” whatever that being real might entail. Our current phase of eclipses is providing both psychological leverage to change our circumstances and restructure our lives, as well as an emotional vent for long-pent-up energy. It may seem inconvenient at times, but it’s really an opportunity.

No Pylab Thanks
TL;DR, Please stop advising people to use the
pylab flag when using IPython.
It is harmful. If you want to help IPython, try to avoid retweeting, and
promoting things that use the
pylab flag and make the authors aware of the issues.
Use explicit import, and
%matplotlib inline magic. It is better (and supports switching between inline/not inline.)
This was mainly prompted by a day where I came across consecutive issues due to the pylab flag, and people happy to discover it.
When IPython 1.0 was released almost 6 months ago, we had quite a few decisions to
make in less than a week and loads of discussions at the last moment. One of
those decisions comes and goes often: we want to get rid of this stupid
pylab flag. If
you look at our stable (1.0) dev doc and examples there shouldn't be
a mention of the
pylab flag anywhere. If there is, we will quickly remove it.
Why? Because it is harmful, first to us, then to new users, to the Python
community, and finally to research in general.
Do you know about pylab? If you don't, please be extra careful and try to avoid it as much as possible. It is like smoking: it looks cool at first, then after a few years you realise you can live without it, but it makes you sick.
You think you know what
pylab does? Really? Take few seconds to think what the
pylab flag is doing, then read the rest.
The
pylab package main purpose was to build a transition tool
from other languages to Python. As it was more and more common and painful to do the same import
in IPython every time when only the IPython shell was around, the
--pylab flag was added. Basically, it did the following:
import numpy import matplotlib from matplotlib import pylab, mlab, pyplot np = numpy plt = pyplot from IPython.core.pylabtools import figsize, getfigs from pylab import * from numpy import *
Did you get it right the first time without cheating ? Are you able to say what has been imported
in
from pylab import * ? in
from numpy import * ?
Of course, that is not the only thing it does. But was it your intention to do that the last time you used pylab?
Once you activate pylab mode, there is no going back. You cannot unimport
things. Of course, with the
%pylab magic you can always restart your kernel,
but with the flag, all your kernels will start in pylab mode. Are you sure
you will not need a non-pylab kernel?
When using the
pylab flag, your audience usually has no way of knowing that you
used the flag. If I use
plot(range(10)), what will happen? Will it pop up a

Because I'm mean, I won't execute the cell, so that you don't know whether or not I'm running in pylab mode or not. You might think it's not a big deal, but in teaching and research it is important to communicate exactly what you are doing.

For example, it leads to non-pickable object in some cases:
@treycausey on Twitter
@ogrisel @myusuf3 Ah, very curious. It loads fine in IPython but not in an IPython notebook. I must have a namespace collision or something.
Me:
Let me guess:
$ipython notebook --pylab? But
$ipythonalone?
IPython developed and added the rich display protocol, so we added
from IPython.display import display to what
import pylab does.
Because matplotlib can work with different event loops, pylab added options to activate qt/gtk/osx/etc. event loops, and with the QtConsole and Notebook creation, the ability to select the inline backend, which registers display hooks.
The main things users remember, and often the main message that you can read here and there is that:
You need to use Pylab to get inline figures.
Which is false. Inline pylab mode is a convenient method to activate inline, and set up a display hook with matplotlib. You do not need pylab to have inline images, nor do you need matplotlib.
With 1.0 and above the recommended way to set up inline figures would be to use
%matplotlib.
The worst part is it has the side effect of making people use
pylab without even knowing it. Later on, they start asking question about how to reuse a graph in matplotlib because no one ever encounters the following code any more:
fig,ax = subplots(1,1) ax.plot(...)
or why their script suddenly does not work in plain Python but works in IPython.
Maybe not kittens, but it will force developers to explain the same things, again, and again, and again...
from IPython.display import YouTubeVideo YouTubeVideo('9VDvgL58h_Y',start=4*60+27)
Of course, we will not remove the
--pylab flag for compatibility reasons, but please, for 2014, make the following resolutions:
- Use
%matplotlib [inline|qt|osx|gtx]to select the right backend/event hook.
- Use explicit imports
- Make people aware of the issues
- Help by making no new articles/tutorials that mention
--pylab
If really you only have 10 seconds left, the
%pylab magic is fine.
As usual, this has been written in an IPython Notebook. You can send me pull request if I made mistakes, or if you have any additional remarks on why you shouldn't use
--pylab. | https://matthiasbussonnier.com/posts/10-No-PyLab-Thanks.html | CC-MAIN-2019-09 | refinedweb | 1,006 | 73.37 |

Thanks all. Rassel30, That would probably help for others that come after that want to build one. I used six 74hc595 chips and six uln2003a chips. A bad attempt at a schematic is on a previous post. Each LED is wired to a 220ohm resistor, and all the LEDs are wired to the 5v out of the Arduino.
I made it to sit on my desk, so I did not bother adding setting buttons, and instead wrote a simple C# app that sends it the computer’s time periodically. A nice addition would be switches for setting the time, and code to handle the user input in the Arduino. I will probably revisit this later.

I tried to trace the lines from your schematic but it is so small it’s hard to do. If you could sent me a bigger image of it I’m sure I could draw something up. Especially since I might try something like this.

Write a script to identify similarity from two string.
Davide Santangelo
Jun 15
Implement a similarity method that compares two strings and returns a number representing the percent similarity between the two strings.
The method must be able to calculate the minimum number of operations you must do to change 1 string into another. In other words the the Levenshtein distance is the model.
def similarity(string1, string2) # ... return similarity_percentage end

Discussing every developers 'oh my god I get it' moment.
Rust solution for similarity of strings. It uses iterative approach with dynamic programming fashion. It creates a matrix of values and the bottom last cell has the number of changes needed to make the 2 strings similar.
I used the explanation from Wikipedia here.
The dynamic part work by first starting with prefix of both strings (Single characters at first) and them working it's way onwards to the complete string. It checks the similarity and computer the distance between the sub-strings, by checking if insertion, deletion, or substitution help to make the sub-strings similar. The last computer value will be the value of the differences of both the strings.
If the name of the algo was not given in the challenge, I would have gone with LCS (due to familiarity with the algo) and it would be good enough, as it works on the same principle but does not take substitutions into account.
I loved working on this, and it introduced me to a new algo; but please add some examples (test cases). A little more explanation using the examples would help a lot. The question just feels like try and implement this algo.
Some test cases I used:
Are the strings of the same length? Or how do you define similarity? Are we supposed to come up with our own model?
Thanks Oskar for suggestion. I just updated the description of the challenge.
Yeah, I still find the challenge too under-defined.
This is interesting. I tried for a little while to come up with my own solution, but, unfortunately, when I was researching the problem, I came across an algorithm for Levenshtein Distance. I couldn't think of any solution that I liked better than the one that I found.
So I thought I'd share it in case anybody else is interested. Here's a link to the original write-up I found.
Essentially, from what I can tell, you create a 2-dimensional matrix. As you build the matrix, moving from top-left to bottom-right, you're weighing the cumulative cost of:
The bottom right corner of the matrix ends up holding the minimum number of changes you need to make to make the two strings match.
If anybody can explain the reasoning behind it to me better, I would love to hear about it! | https://dev.to/daviducolo/write-a-string-to-identify-similarity-from-two-string-286n | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | refinedweb | 520 | 66.03 |
Framing the problem
In our last post we had to manually create two instances of our Liquid component on separate DOM nodes (you can check out the code here). With a small number of components this is okay, but what if we had to spin up a hundred components that had different props being passed to each of them?
Iterating & rendering new components
This is actually a very common occurrence in React, and the way you solve it is by creating a parent component that iterates and instantiates components from an array. For example, lets create a “LiquidsList” component that accepts an array of objects. Then, we’ll iterate through each of those objects and will pass them to a
<Liquid /> component:
var LiquidsList = React.createClass({ render: function() { var liquids = this.props.liquids.map(function(liquidObject, index){ return <Liquid config={ liquidObject } key={ index } />; }) return ( <div> { liquids } </div> ); } });
To make this work, we’ll remove all of our old ReactDOM initializations and replace it with this instead:
// Create object to hold water's name, freezing & boiling points var water = { name: "Water", freezing: 32, boiling: 212 }; // Create object to hold ethanol's name, freezing & boiling points var ethanol = { name: "Ethanol", freezing: -173.2, boiling: 173.1 }; // Render our LiquidsList component! ReactDOM.render(<LiquidsList liquids={ [ethanol, water] } />, document.getElementById('container'));
As you’ll see from the working code, we get the same exact result as before — except now it’s trivial to add new liquids! Simply add a new object to the array being passed through the ‘liquids’ attribute and it will instantiate a brand new component.
The big idea here is that React components can include and instantiate other components, whether it be done statically or programmatically like we did here. | https://thinkster.io/tutorials/programmatically-rendering-child-components | CC-MAIN-2019-13 | refinedweb | 289 | 50.36 |
Making Good Time with
by John H. Farr
When the boss first offered a me chance to review
SoftPress Systems'
Freeway 1.0 web design software, I hesitated; I knew
that the application was designed to appeal to desktop
publishing pros already familiar with things like
QuarkXPress and PageMaker, which I decidely was not. My own
experience as a self-taught HTML-slinger had accustomed me
to spend many hours tinkering with source code and enjoying
every minute of it, kind of like adjusting the carburetors
on a virtual vintage racer ("she's runnin' a little rough,
better prop up the hood and take a look at the tags").
Nevertheless, I did accept the assignment, and while it's
true that if you like to lay out pages, you're going to love
Freeway, it's also true that this application can take you
places you've never been before, especially if you're an
spontaneous, creative person forced into the slow lane by
HTML.
Freeway is aptly named, because it doesn't limp along
hobbled by an ersatz word processor engine. It doesn't edit
HTML directly, and you can't tinker with the code while
you're working. Instead, using an interface familiar to
users of DTP applications (so I'm told), Freeway creates a
"document" for you to work with. You then select a page
size, and place text, graphics, and multimedia content
inside moveable, resizeable"GIF boxes" and "HTML text boxes"
that you draw on the page with the tools provided (you can
even make your own wildly-shaped boxes, as in the example
below). After you've added all your links and gotten your
web pages the way you want them, Freeway lives up to its
name by sending all the contents into a destination folder,
where everything arrives as individual HTML files,
accompanied by all the GIF, JPEG, and web-ready multimedia
files you've added to your pages. What you end up with is a
web site folder ready to upload to your server, all gassed
up and ready to roll.
Those are the dynamics. The real power in this
application, however, is the way it handles graphic
elements. If you draw a small square box, for example, and
import a large image (automatically processed by Freeway
into a GIF or JPEG), you get a cropped view with the box
acting like a clear window onto the image. You can then
reach in and slide the image around to get a different view,
or you can shrink the image to fit the box. You can make the
box bigger than the image, in which case if you resize the
image to fit the box, you can get a nifty pixelated
abstraction. All these tricks work with animated GIFs, too,
of course. Just imagine: you can effectively crop out any
part of an animation, grow it or shrink it, select it and
move it all over the page. To watch it run, though, you have
to select a browser from a Preview menu.
And now the fun begins: you can overlap as many of
these resulting images as you want! What Freeway does is
export a pile of GIFs or JPEGs, mixed or otherwise, as a
single GIF or JPEG, based on the format of the rearmost
image. And it's very entertaining to move all those images
around on the page like you were arranging photos on the
kitchen table. Since the end results of all this are HTML
files, hypertext fiends can make use of Freeway to produce
the source code for a complicated layout and then paste it
anywhere they choose--after performing a few tricks to
wrench the HTML out of the designated "Publish" folder!
You can also overlap animated GIFs, which Freeway
will export as one big animation (see below), running at the
same speed as the rearmost GIF. You can quickly create a
copy of one of the animations, set the frame intervals with
GIFBuilder, and hide it behind the others to act as a
governor. Reshape, distort, and overlap several animations
and you'll get all sorts of unpredictable combinations. For
those of you who have a folder full of animated GIFs to play
with, this can be a real hoot, as someone used to say. The
example below is a 252 x 90 pixel animated GIF constructed
in Freeway: I started with the large center animation, then
drew custom GIF boxes and imported the same animation into
each. Some items were sized to fit their boxes, some left
normal size, and then all nine animations were overlapped in
different ways, creating what Freeway calls an "image
group," in this case an animated one.
To enter text on the page, Freeway gives you the option
of using an HTML text box, which results in normal
browser-rendered print, or typing directly into a GIF box,
with full formatting and editing capabilies. You can then
move, resize, and transform the results in countless
different ways. If you're graphically oriented, the ability
to instantly move objects around, overlap them, change
background colors, resize, reshape, and modify virtually
everything, usually with just a mouse-click or two, will
keep you up past your bedtime. And yes, you can do some of
these things with other applications, but with Freeway you
end up with web pages.
Freeway makes it easy to build a series of successive
pages and keep track of everything, too. And it has the
horsepower to do amazing things: if you decide on a whim to
overlap fields of HTML text (yes, you can do that), it
instantly constructs the Mother of All Tables to arrange the
text in various ways. The only real working drawback from a
web designer's point of view is a certain awkwardness
previewing pages in the browser of your choice, which you
must have on your hard disk (and as for tinkering with the
source code, you'd be better off going back to Freeway to
move things around; anything else will land you in a
wilderness of multiple table cells and clear GIFs). The way
this software does the oddest and most complicated things so
quickly, it sometimes makes me think it was designed by an
alien intelligence of some sort. Quite the marvel.
Our trip down the road was handled by a Power Macintosh
8600/200 with 96 MB of RAM, running OS 8.0; to get onto
Freeway you need at least a 68040 or PowerPC Macintosh (5 or
9 MB free RAM required) or Mac OS-compatible computer with
System 7.5.1 or later. The application will take up a
minimum of 20 MB on your hard disk and set you back $299 for
a full-price single user license. It offers a fast way to
build integrated, fully-functioning, graphically-complex web
sites, and for that, noting the minor HTML-related
limitations, it gets a solid recommendation from this
reviewer.
PROS:
Encourages experimentation with magical graphics
capability and easy page construction; makes
seamless, integrated web sites; DTP interface is
familiar to many.
CONS:
Creates complex, hard-to-edit HTML tables; does
not support frames or dynamic HTML; installs
GXGraphics extension that may cause conflicts.
CONCLUSION:
A powerful application with few faults that lets
you quickly assemble an attractive web site. Well
worth investigating if you are graphically-oriented
and unfamiliar with HTML.

pickle - C++ access to the Perl interpreter
#include <pickle.hh> using namespace Pickle; Interpreter::vivify (); eval_string ("use Cwd;"); Scalar cwd = call_function ("cwd"); cout << "cwd is " << string (cwd) << endl; eval_string ("use File::Glob ':glob';"); List args = List () << "~/*.doc" << call_function ("GLOB_TILDE"); Arrayref files = call_function ("glob", args, LIST); for (size_t i = 0; i < files.size(); i++) cout << string(files[i]) << endl; Scalar doit (Scalar& n) { return double (n) * double (n); } define_sub ("main", "square", doit); cout << int (eval_string ("square(42)")) << endl; try { call_some_perl() } catch (Exception* e) { cerr << e->what(); delete e; } throw new Exception ("Your fault");
Pickle is a C++ library that allows programs to embed and interact with the Perl interpreter more conveniently than by directly using Perl's native C support.
Pickle allows programs and Perl modules written in C++ to evaluate Perl code, create and examine Perl data structures, and make functions callable from Perl. It is well suited for large applications prototyped in Perl and transitioned piece by piece to C++, since it allows one to move the boundary between implementation languages quickly. It achieves this by exposing a minimally sufficient API to express the Perl language's semantics, independently of Perl's implementation. The simplicity of this approach greatly reduces the likelihood of bugs in ``glue'' code between the two languages.
The rest of this document assumes knowledge of Perl and C++.
Unless otherwise specified, the functions and data types here are declared in
<pickle.hh> in namespace Pickle and defined in -lpickle. To use them in a C++ program, you must link with the Perl interpreter, -lperlint.
Pickle uses class Scalar to hold Perl scalar values:
class Scalar;
The default Scalar constructor creates an
undef value. You can initialize scalars with any C++ integral or floating point type, as well as types bool, string and C string (
char *).
Scalar s0; // undef Scalar s1 (0); // integer Scalar s2 (3.14); // float Scalar s3 ("hello"); // string
Class Scalar defines conversion operators for the same C++ types, so you can use Scalar objects where these types are expected:
Scalar s; int i (s); string str (s); x = r * cos(s);
As in Perl, scalars are automatically reference-counted, so memory management is not much of an issue, unless you create cyclic structures as described in "Two-Phased Garbage Collection" in perlobj.
Scalar variables can hold array and hash references. Pickle defines subclasses of Scalar named Arrayref and Hashref for these two reference types. Their default constructors produce empty containers, the same as the Perl expressions
[] and
{}:
Arrayref a; // 0-element anonymous array Hashref h; // empty hash table
Arrayref and Hashref can also be constructed from scalars. By default, these constructors perform type verification, throwing an exception if the Perl reference data type does not match the C++ class. This check can be overridden by passing
false as a second argument to the constructor.
Arrayref a; Scalar some_func(); a = some_func(); // okay if an arrayref was returned. a = Scalar (5); // runtime error - not an array reference. Scalar x ("hello"); a = Arrayref (x, false); // may lead to a crash!
The Arrayref and Hashref classes both define methods fetch and store for retrieving and inserting elements. Additionally, Arrayref overloads the
[] operator, so you can use C++ array syntax to fetch arrayref elements. However, unlike fetch,
[] extends the array if the given index is past the end.
Arrayref a; a .push (17); // a[0] == 17 a[1] = a[5]; // a now has 6 elements! a .store (10, a .fetch (20)); // a.size() == 11
Arrayref's push method pushes a scalar onto the end of the array. size returns the array length.
Hashref h; h .store ("array", a); a = h .fetch ("other");
Iteration over a hash currently is not supported.
In Perl, every function takes a list of scalar arguments and returns a list of scalar results. In scalar context, the return list is forced to contain exactly one item, while in void context the result list is discarded.
Pickle's call_function lets you call functions in any context - list, scalar, or void - by specifying either SCALAR, LIST, or VOID as its final argument. Because C++ does not have Perl's notion of context, call_function always returns a Scalar. By convention, list context returns an Arrayref object whose array elements are the result list. Void context returns
undef.
Perl subs can be called with any number of arguments. (Not if they are prototyped, but Pickle does not honor Perl prototypes.) Passing variable-length argument lists in C++ is awkward, so Pickle defines a class, List, for holding argument lists.
A List object is very much like an arrayref. In fact, it contains an Arrayref and conversion operators for types
Arrayref & and
const Arrayref &. Lists and arrayrefs are defined as different types to make certain overloaded functions work and to emphasize their different uses. Perl also distinguishes between lists and arrays, though they are both just sequences of scalars.
The default list constructor creates an empty list. The
<< (left bitshift) operator is overloaded for the List type similarly to the standard ostream class; it takes a scalar on the right, appends it to the list, and returns the list. It allows one to build lists using chains like this:
List l; l << Scalar(3) << Scalar("caballeros");
Taking advantage of C++'s conversion and overloading rules, you could rewrite this as:
List l = List () << 3 << "caballeros";
call_function requires as its first argument a Scalar, which can be the name of a function or a code reference. Then comes an optional List argument containing the function args. If no list is given, the sub is called without arguments. The calling context may be specified as the final argument. If present, it must be either SCALAR, LIST, or VOID. The default context is scalar.
As an example, this code calls the function Carp::confess with argument
"I'm sorry":
call_function ("Carp::confess", List () << "I'm sorry");
call_function works only with user-defined subs, not Perl's builtin operators such as print.
If a Scalar variable holds a package name or blessed reference, you can call methods on it using the C++ call_method method. Like call_function, it takes an optional List of the arguments and an optional context specifier. For example, this code calls the Perl method fetchrow_array on the object
sth with no arguments in list context:
Arrayref result = sth .call_method ("fetchrow_array", LIST);
In addition to calling existing functions, Pickle allows you to evaluate strings of Perl code using the eval_string function:
Scalar result = eval_string ("$x + 4 * $z");
eval_string supports only scalar context.
Pickle supports creating Perl subs that call C++ functions (called extension subs or XSubs). Your C++ function may have any of three supported prototypes. The first form requires exactly one scalar argument and returns a scalar.
Scalar one_arg_xsub (Scalar& arg);
The following form takes an object followed by a list of name/value pairs, which Pickle loads into a hash. It is designed for methods that support the
$obj->meth (name => value, ...) calling convention.
Scalar arg_hash_xsub (Scalar& arg, Hashref& args);
The third form is the most general. It takes a list of arguments and a context specifier and returns a list of results.
List arg_list_xsub (List& args, Context context);
Here context will be either LIST, SCALAR, or VOID.
To make a function callable from Perl, use the define_sub function. define_sub takes as arguments a package name, a sub name, and a pointer to the XSub. This example creates a sub named doit in package main, calls it with
17 as the argument, and displays the result as an integer:
static Scalar my_func (Scalar& x) { return int (x) * int (x); } // ...elsewhere... define_sub ("main", "doit", my_func); cout << int (eval_string ("main::doit (17)")) << endl;
See "C++ in a Perl Program" for a more detailed example.
When Perl code under the control of C++ ``dies,'' Pickle throws an exception of type Exception *. The error message can be obtained by calling its what method. The exception must be freed with delete.
Example:
try { eval_string ("$x = 0; 4 / $x"); } catch (Exception* e) { cerr << "Perl error: " << e->what () << endl; delete e; }
XSubs created with Pickle can construct an Exception object with a Scalar argument and throw a pointer to it. Pickle deletes the object. Perl can trap such exceptions using eval.
Example:
Scalar my_xsub (Scalar& s) { if (double (s) < 0) throw new Exception (string ("'") .append (s) .append ("' is a negative number")); return sqrt (double (s)); }
There are two ways to link Perl and C++ code together. Either a Perl program loads a module implemented in C++, or a C++ program embeds the Perl interpreter. Here, ``interpreter'' means something akin to ``virtual machine'' in Java parlance. The interpreter is the C++ object that implements the environment in which Perl programs are run.
To use Pickle in a C++ program, you must link with -lpickle -lperlint. You may use the functions described in perlembed to initialize the interpreter, or you may use Pickle's simpler interface. Just allocate an object of class Interpreter, like this:
Interpreter* interp = new Interpreter;
There is a constructor that accepts command line arguments and an optional environment pointer like the C++ function main. This can be used to pass flags to Perl. For example, this turns on taint checks and warnings:
char* argv[] = { "perl", "-Tw", "-e0" }; interp = new Interpreter (sizeof argv / sizeof argv[0], argv);
Note that -e0 prevents the interpreter from trying to read a script from the standard input.
The default Perl configuration will not tolerate more than one interpreter at a time in the same process. Most Pickle functions act implicitly on the ``current'' interpreter, so the Interpreter object is generally not used. You can cause Perl to shut down and free its memory by deallocating it, as in:
delete interp;
This will cause problems with any Perl data held in subsequently destroyed C++ objects, because the destructor will try to interact with the nonexistent interpreter.
You can check to see if an interpreter has been initialized in the current process using Interpreter::ping(). If this function returns true, Perl objects may be created and manipulated. This is useful in code intended to run under either Perl or C++.
As a convenience, Interpreter::vivify() is defined to construct and return a new interpreter unless one already exists, like this:
Interpreter* Interpreter::vivify () { return Interpreter::ping () ? 0 : new Interpreter; }
perlxs and ExtUtils::MakeMaker describe Perl's officially supported way to link C and C++ code into a Perl module. Pickle is implemented using the interface described in perlapi, but does not currently support interoperation with that interface. (It would be nice if it did, but if you know Perl's API, you are qualified to hack on Pickle and get around this limitation.) However, with the combination of define_sub and XS's
BOOT keyword, the Perl API often isn't needed.
Here is an example XS file that defines a sub named Foo::squarit. Indentation is used for readability, but must be removed.
// Foo.xs #include <pickle.hh> using namespace Pickle; static Scalar squarit (Scalar& it) { return double(it) * double(it); } static void init () { define_sub ("Foo", "squarit", squarit); } // Always include these three here. #include <EXTERN.h> #include <perl.h> #include <XSUB.h> // Change Foo to your module's name MODULE = Foo PACKAGE = Foo BOOT: init();
Here is a Makefile.PL to build the module:
# Makefile.PL # Usage: perl Makefile.PL && make use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile ( 'NAME' => 'Foo', 'VERSION' => '0.0', 'XSOPT' => '-C++', 'CC' => 'g++', 'LD' => 'g++', 'LIBS' => '-lpickle', 'dynamic_lib' => { 'OTHERLDFLAGS' => '-Wl,-R,$(PREFIX)/lib -L$(PREFIX)/lib', }, );
And you'll need Foo.pm to load it:
# Foo.pm # Usage: perl -Mblib -MFoo -le "print Foo::squarit(253)" package Foo; use XSLoader; XSLoader::load ('Foo'); 1;

Gathering Runtime Statistics¶
Problems can come up in production. When they do, you usually want forensics that show aspects of the system under load, over a period of time.
Of course, you don't want the collection of such data to affect performance. What's needed is a mechanism to log data all the time, in a lightweight way, that can later be analyzed in productive ways. This system needs both built-in hooks at the Substance D framework level as well as extension points to analyze function points in the application you are writing.
Three components are involved in the process of collecting statistics:
substanced.statsexposes Python API to collect data and sends it to to a StatsD <> agent
- The StatsD agent aggregates data and sends it to backend service
- A backend service displays graphs based on stored data. The service can be self-hosted such as Graphite or it can be a SaaS solution such as DataDog.
Setting Up¶
To enable statistics gathering in your site, edit your
.ini configuration
file and add the following lines to your
[app:main] section:
substanced.statsd.enabled = true substanced.statsd.host = localhost substanced.statsd.port = 8125 substanced.statsd.prefix = substanced
Using DataDog with SubstanceD statistics¶
Substance D supports DataDog, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for monitoring and visualizing performance data. DataDog installs an dogstatsd agent for sending custom metrics on your local system. The agent is based on StatsD.
Using DataDog is an an easy way to get started with Substance D statistics. Sign up for an account with DataDog. This will provide you with the instructions for downloading and running the local agent. You'll need to get the agent installed before proceeding.
Once you've got the agent installed, and the proper settings in your Substance
D ini file, you will be able to see statistics in the DataDog user interface.
Once you log into your DataDog dashboard, click on
Infrastructure and
you'll see any hosts configured as part of your account:
The
substanced entry in
Apps table column is from the
substanced.statsd.prefix configured in Settings up section. Clicking on
that brings up Substance D specific monitoring in DataDog:
Clicking settings symbol on a graph will lead you to graph editor, where you can change how DataDog interprets and renders your graphs. A good resource how the editor works is Graphing Primer.
DataDog also supports Metric Alerts allowing you to send alerts when your statistics reach certain state.
Logging Custom Statistics¶
Over time, Substance D itself will include more framework points where statistics are collected. Most likely, though, you'll want some statistics that are very meaningful to your application's specific functionality.
If you look at the docs for the Python statsd module you will see three main types:
- Counters for simply incrementing a value,
- Timers for logging elapsed time in a code block, and
- Gauges for tracking a constant at a particular point in time
Each of these map to methods in
substanced.stats.StatsdHelper. This
class is available as an instance available via import:
from substanced.stats import statsd_gauge
Your application code can then make calls to these stats-gathering
methods. For example,
substanced.principal.User does the
following to note that check password was used:
statsd_gauge('check_password', 1)
Here is an example in
substanced.catalog.Catalog.index_resource() that
measures elapsed indexing time inside a Python
with block:
with statsd_timer('catalog.index_resource'): if oid is None: oid = oid_from_resource(resource) for index in self.values(): index.index_resource(resource, oid=oid, action_mode=action_mode) self.objectids.insert(oid) | http://docs.pylonsproject.org/projects/substanced/en/latest/statistics.html | CC-MAIN-2016-50 | refinedweb | 594 | 55.95 |

Without LINQ, we would have to go through the values one-by-one and then find the required details. However, using LINQ we can directly query collections and filter the required values without using any looping. LINQ provides powerful filtering, ordering, and grouping capabilities that requires minimum coding. For example, if we want to find out the types stored in an assembly and then filter the required details, we can use LINQ to query the assembly details using System.Reflection classes. The System.Reflection namespace contains types that retrieve information about assemblies, modules, members, parameters, and other entities as collections are managed code, by examining their metadata. Also, files under a directory are a collection of objects that can be queried using LINQ. We shall see some of the examples for querying some collections.
Array of Integers
The following example shows an integer array that contains a set of integers. We can apply the LINQ queries on the array to fetch the required values.
int[] integers = { 1, 6, 2, 27, 10, 33, 12, 8, 14, 5 };
IEnumerable<int> twoDigits =
from numbers in integers
where numbers >= 10
select numbers;
Console.WriteLine("Integers > 10:");
foreach (var number in twoDigits)
{
Console.WriteLine(number);
}
The integers variable contains an array of integers with different values. The variable twoDigits, which is of type IEnumerable, holds the query. To get the actual result, the query has to be executed.
The actual query execution happens when the query variable is iterated through the foreach loop by calling GetEnumerator() to enumerate the result. Any variable of type IEnumerable<T>, can be enumerated using the foreach construct. Types that support IEnumerable<T> or a derived interface such as the generic IQueryable<T>, are called queryable types. All collections such as list, dictionary and other classes are queryable. There are some non-generic IEnumerable collections like ArrayList that can also be queried using LINQ. For that, we have to explicitly declare the type of the range variable to the specific type of the objects in the collection, as it is explained in the examples later in this article.
The twoDigits variable will hold the query to fetch the values that are greater than or equal to 10. This is used for fetching the numbers one-by-one from the array. The foreach loop will execute the query and then loop through the values retrieved from the integer array, and write it to the console. This is an easy way of getting the required values from the collection.
If we want only the first four values from a collection, we can apply the Take() query operator on the collection object. Following is an example which takes the first four integers from the collection. The four integers in the resultant collection are displayed using the foreach method.
IEnumerable<int> firstFourNumbers = integers.Take(4);
Console.WriteLine("First 4 numbers:");
foreach (var num in firstFourNumbers)
{
Console.WriteLine(num);
}
The opposite of Take() operator is Skip() operator, which is used to skip the number of items in the collection and retrieve the rest. The following example skips the first four items in the list and retrieves the remaining.
IEnumerable<int> skipFirstFourNumbers = integers.Skip(4);
Console.WriteLine("Skip first 4 numbers:");
foreach (var num in skipFirstFourNumbers)
{
Console.WriteLine(num);
}
This example shows the way to take or skip the specified number of items from the collection. So what if we want to skip or take the items until we find a match in the list? We have operators to get this. They are TakeWhile() and SkipWhile().
For example, the following code shows how to get the list of numbers from the integers collection until 50 is found. TakeWhile() uses an expression to include the elements in the collection as long as the condition is true and it ignores the other elements in the list. This expression represents the condition to test the elements in the collection for the match.
int[] integers = { 1, 9, 5, 3, 7, 2, 11, 23, 50, 41, 6, 8 };
IEnmerable<int> takeWhileNumber = integers.TakeWhile(num =>
num.CompareTo(50) != 0);
Console.WriteLine("Take while number equals 50");
foreach (int num in takeWhileNumber)
{
Console.WriteLine(num.ToString());
}
Similarly, we can skip the items in the collection using SkipWhile(). It uses an expression to bypass the elements in the collection as long as the condition is true. This expression is used to evaluate the condition for each element in the list. The output of the expression is boolean. If the expression returns false, the remaining elements in the collections are returned and the expression will not be executed for the other elements. The first occurrence of the return value as false will stop the expression for the other elements and returns the remaining elements. These operators will provide better results if used against ordered lists as the expression is ignored for the other elements once the first match is found.
IEnumerable<int> skipWhileNumber = integers.SkipWhile(num =>
num.CompareTo(50) != 0);
Console.WriteLine("Skip while number equals 50");
foreach (int num in skipWhileNumber)
{
Console.WriteLine(num.ToString());
}
Collection of Objects
In this section we will see how we can query a custom built objects collection. Let us take the Icecream object, and build the collection, then we can query the collection. This Icecream class in the following code contains different properties such as Name, Ingredients, TotalFat, and Cholesterol.
public class Icecream
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Ingredients { get; set; }
public string TotalFat { get; set; }
public string Cholesterol { get; set; }
public string TotalCarbohydrates { get; set; }
public string Protein { get; set; }
public double Price { get; set; }
}
Now build the Icecreams list collection using the class defined perviously.
List<Icecream> icecreamsList = new List<Icecream>
{
new Icecream {Name="Chocolate Fudge Icecream", Ingredients="cream,
milk, mono and diglycerides...", Cholesterol="50mg",
Protein="4g", TotalCarbohydrates="35g", TotalFat="20g",
Price=10.5
},
new Icecream {Name="Vanilla Icecream", Ingredients="vanilla extract,
guar gum, cream...", Cholesterol="65mg", Protein="4g",
TotalCarbohydrates="26g", TotalFat="16g", Price=9.80 },
new Icecream {Name="Banana Split Icecream", Ingredients="Banana, guar
gum, cream...", Cholesterol="58mg", Protein="6g",
TotalCarbohydrates="24g", TotalFat="13g", Price=7.5 }
};
We have icecreamsList collection which contains three objects with values of the Icecream type. Now let us say we have to retrieve all the ice-creams that cost less. We can use a looping method, where we have to look at the price value of each object in the list one-by-one and then retrieve the objects that have less value for the Price property. Using LINQ, we can avoid looping through all the objects and its properties to find the required ones. We can use LINQ queries to find this out easily. Following is a query that fetches the ice-creams with low prices from the collection. The query uses the where condition, to do this. This is similar to relational database queries. The query gets executed when the variable of type IEnumerable is enumerated when referred to in the foreach loop.
List<Icecream> Icecreams = CreateIcecreamsList();
IEnumerable<Icecream> IcecreamsWithLessPrice =
from ice in Icecreams
where ice.Price < 10
select ice;
Console.WriteLine("Ice Creams with price less than 10:");
foreach (Icecream ice in IcecreamsWithLessPrice)
{
Console.WriteLine("{0} is {1}", ice.Name, ice.Price);
}
As we used List<Icecream> objects, we can also use ArrayList to hold the objects, and a LINQ query can be used to retrieve the specific objects from the collection according to our need. For example, following is the code to add the same Icecreams objects to the ArrayList, as we did in the previous example.
ArrayList arrListIcecreams = new ArrayList();
arrListIcecreams.Add( new Icecream {Name="Chocolate Fudge Icecream",
Ingredients="cream, milk, mono and diglycerides...",
Cholesterol="50mg", Protein="4g", TotalCarbohydrates="35g",
TotalFat="20g", Price=10.5 });
arrListIcecreams.Add( new Icecream {Name="Vanilla Icecream",
Ingredients="vanilla extract, guar gum, cream...",
Cholesterol="65mg", Protein="4g", TotalCarbohydrates="26g",
TotalFat="16g", Price=9.80 });
arrListIcecreams.Add( new Icecream {Name="Banana Split Icecream",
Ingredients="Banana, guar gum, cream...", Cholesterol="58mg",
Protein="6g", TotalCarbohydrates="24g", TotalFat="13g", Price=7.5
});
Following is the query to fetch low priced ice-creams from the list.
var queryIcecreanList = from Icecream icecream in arrListIcecreams
where icecream.Price < 10
select icecream;
Use the foreach loop, shown as follows, to display the price of the objects retrieved using the above query.
foreach (Icecream ice in queryIcecreanList)
Console.WriteLine("Icecream Price : " + ice.Price);
Reading from Strings
We all know that a string is a collection of characters. It means that we can directly query a string value. Now let us take a string value and try to find out the number of upper case letters in the string. For example, assign a string value to the variable aString as shown below.
string aString = "Satheesh Kumar";
Now let us build a query to read the string and find out the number of characters that are in upper case. The query should be of type IEnumerable.
IEnumerable<char> query =
from ch in aString
where Char.IsUpper(ch)
select ch;
The query uses the Char.IsUpper method in the where clause to find out the upper case letters from the string. The following code displays the number of characters that are in upper case:
Console.WriteLine("Count = {0}", count);
Reading from Text Files
A file could be called a collection, irrespective of the data contained in it. Let us create a text file that contains a collection of strings. To get the values from the text file, we can use LINQ queries. Create a text file that contains names of different ice-creams. We can use the StreamReader object to read each line from the text file. Create a List object, which is of type string, to hold the values read from the text file. Once we get the values loaded into the strings List, we can easily query the list using LINQ queries as we do with normal collection objects. The following sample code reads the text file, and loads the ice-cream names to the string list:
List<string> IcecreamNames = new List<string>();
using( StreamReader sReader = new StreamReader(@"C:Icecreams.txt"))
{
string str;
str = sReader.ReadLine();
while (str != null)
{
IcecreamNames.Add(str);
}
}
The following sample code reads the list of strings and retrieves the name of ice-creams in descending order:
IEnumerable<string> icecreamQuery =
from name in IcecreamNames
orderby name descending
select name;
We can verify the result of the query by displaying the names using the following code:
foreach (string nam in icecreamQuery)
{
Console.WriteLine(nam);
}
The following code displays the names and verifies the result of the query:
foreach (string nam in icecreamQuery)
{
Console.WriteLine(nam);
}
Similar to collections used in above examples, the .NET reflection class library can be used to read metadata of the .NET assembly and create the types, type members, parameters, and other properties as collections. These collections support the IEnumerable interface, which helps us to query using LINQ.
LINQ has lot of standard query operators which can be used for querying different objects that support IEnumerable interface. We can use all standard query operators, listed in the following table, against objects.
Summary
In this article, we saw some examples to query different objects using LINQ operators. We can use LINQ queries on any object that supports IEnumerable. By using LINQ, we can avoid using looping methods to loop through the collections and fetch the required details. LINQ provides powerful filtering, ordering, and grouping methods. This will reduce our coding as well as the development time. | https://www.packtpub.com/books/content/linq-objects | CC-MAIN-2017-39 | refinedweb | 1,905 | 56.66 |

In this article, I will walk you through a series of best practices in Java code profiling, using NetBeans 6.0. The approach is to show a realistic session of profiler-driven code optimization, using the NetBeans Profiler as the core tool.
Hunting for a real-world example
Too many articles, including most of my own production, are limited by sample projects that must “fit”. But using real-world code adds a whole new dimension of meaning – and readers don’t need to trust the author when he concludes that techniques shown through a contrived example will be effective in real applications.
So I picked a real project: iText, a popular open-source Java library for PDF generation and manipulation. Many developers will be familiar with it or use it indirectly (for example, iText is a dependency of many Java report generators and other tools that output PDF). Also, the work performed by iText is both complex and CPU-bound, so it’s a good profiling test bed.
My principle here is to use profiling techniques to learn something interesting about a complex project. And if we’re lucky, find performance problems and investigate their solution, with the help of these techniques and in particular of the NetBeans Profiler. Moreover, I selected a project that I knew only as a user, but whose source code I’ve never read before and an internal architecture I’m not familiar with. Thus I’ll not be in advantage over the reader, and we can learn together.
The right tool for the right job
The NetBeans Profiler is not the ideal tool for every optimization-related task. This is not due to any limitations, but because profilers are best for fine-grained or low-level performance investigation. Imagine a Java EE reporting application that’s not scaling well. The bottleneck could be some inefficient algorithm, but it can also be due to bad application server tuning, inefficient SQL queries, excessive use of remote calls, and many other factors. At this stage of the investigation, you’ll often prefer different tools. For example, GlassFish offers detailed monitoring capabilities, and most database servers provide tools to spot heavy queries. A profiling tool can still help here though; the NetBeans Profiler integrates well with application servers. But in my experience this integration is more suited to profiling sections of Java EE code that are hard to test outside the container.
Once you’ve narrowed the bottleneck to a specific subsystem, at the very least to your own application code or, hopefully, something more specific like “the front-end report generation code”, then it’s the time to start using a code profiler.
Identifying a problem – and benchmarking it
If you plan to follow this article’s step by step, you need to first set up your environment as explained in the box “Installation and setup”. In the project, open the class examples/com.lowagie.examples.objects.tables.AddBigTable. This is one of iText’s standard samples and was selected because it’s complex enough to be interesting for our purposes. Indeed, this sample creates a ~120Kb, 26-page PDF file filled with a very big table. Not your average HelloWorld sample!
Installation and setup
You can follow the steps in this article with any release of NetBeans 6.0 that supports Java development. The Profiler is a built-in feature. Start by creating a project using New Project>Java>Java Class Library. Then visit iText’s download page at SourceForge (sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15255) and from the iText group get the itext-src-2.0.6.tar.gz file (or the equivalent zip). Unpack it and copy the top-level com directory into your NetBeans project’s src folder. At this point some classes will report compilation errors due to missing dependencies. To solve that, in the same download page go to the extrajars group and download the files bcmail-jdk14-137.jar and bcprov-jdk14-137.jar. Add those to the project’s libraries, and NetBeans should compile the whole project without errors.
Now we just need to add the sample code. Again in the download page, go to the tutorial group and get the file tutorial.tar.gz. Unpack it and copy the folder examples to the NetBeans project root. In the project’s Properties (Sources/Source Package Folders), click Add Folder and select the examples folder.
After the rebuild, you’ll notice that four packages contain compilation errors; these are examples that use other dependencies, like JFreeChart or the Servlet API. We’re not going to use this part, so you can just delete the four packages, and we’re ready to go.
A good profiling session should be like any good scientific experiment. You must isolate the code you want to test from other code, and also avoid interference from environment “noise”. This sample is already well isolated. It does nothing beyond creating the PDF file; also there’s no alien code involved: no database access, no middleware. There is a potential source of environment noise, however: file I/O. The sample program writes the document to a PDF file, but this I/O operation is not relevant to what we are measuring. A larger application that uses iText would probably compose the PDF to a memory stream and serve it to some GUI, perhaps store it in a cache; but most likely it wouldn’t write it to a disk file.
The first step towards our profiling goal, then, is to get rid of the file I/O. This is easy to accomplish. I changed the AddBigTable class, replacing “new FileOutputStream(…)” with “new ByteArray OutputStream(…)”. Notice that the memory stream is big enough to hold the entire finished PDF content, so there won’t be reallocations of this buffer to spoil benchmarking precision. Check out the resulting code in Listing 1 (with changed parts in bold); Figure 1 shows the project loaded in NetBeans.
public static void main (String[] args) { //step1 Document document = new Document(PageSize.A4.rotate(), 10, 10, 10, 10); try { //step2 PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance( document, new ByteArrayOutputStream(120000)); // step3 document.open(); //step4 //... omitted for space: build the document } catch (Exception de) { de.printStackTrace(); } // step5 document.close();}

Benchmarking
Profiling and benchmarking are of course related disciplines, so before continuing it’s interesting to go through an exercise in benchmarking*1. The basic requirement is avoiding the “Two Deadly Sins of Java Benchmarking”: dead code and short runs.
Dead code happens when a benchmark is so simple that smart optimizers notice some code is computing data which is never used – so they just eliminate that code and execution times drop to the floor. This is not the case with our current code, however. Even though I don’t use the produced ByteArrayOutputStream for any purpose, I know that the path from iText’s core through multiple layers of I/O objects (like its PdfWriter), and into the byte array stream, is very complex – complex enough that the optimizer in the JVM won’t kill it.
However, the program is still guilty of short run: short programs will run mostly in interpreted mode, so the measured results will be meaningless. From the command line, I measured 1.890 seconds with HotSpot Client 6.0u3 on a Pentium-IV 2,4GHz, which is not too bad. Ideally though, total execution time would be in the range of tens of seconds to a few minutes, to allow for JVM warm-up (initialization, classloading and dynamic optimization).
This is easy to fix: just add a loop that repeats the test several times. I renamed the original main() method to test(), and added a new main() that takes the repeat number from the arguments. See the new method in Listing 2.
public static void main (String[] args) {
int times = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
for (int i = 0; i < times; ++i) {
long t = System.currentTimeMillis();
new AddBigTable().test();
t = System.currentTimeMillis() - t;
System.out.println(t);
}
}
To set up and run this benchmark, go to the project’s Properties>Run>Main Class, click Browse and select our AddBigTable class. In the same page make Arguments=10. Confirm changes and run the project. I did that for a few recent Java virtual machines; Table 1 shows the results. For CPU-bound work, the increasing sophistication of JVM technology continues to extract more and more from the same hardware. In this particular test, HotSpot Server 6.0*2 saves 20% of your CPU, compared to release 1.4.2 of the same JVM, or 10% when compared to 5.0

Profiling CPU usage
We’re a couple pages into the article and yet no use of the NetBeans Profiler. This is an important best practice though: planning before profiling. Now we are at the point where powerful tools should really help (and not just entertain us with beautiful data visualizations).
Booting the Profiler is easy. Just run Profile>Profile Main Project and sit comfortably while watching the results come in… That, however, is not a very productive approach. I’ve spent too much time doing exactly this and waiting for the right moment to click “Reset data”, “Take snapshot” or similar buttons in several profilers. What we really need is data from an “area of interest”, and to have it discretized per iteration of the test, not accumulated for multiple iterations (the first iterations often have meaningless “cold start” performance). That’s why my top new profiling feature in NetBeans 6.0 is Profiling Points.
In AddBigTable.java, go to the test() method’s first line, right click it and choose Profiling>Insert Profiling Point. Select the Reset Results type, accept the defaults for other options and finish the wizard. Then go to the last line of the same method, and create a Take Snapshot profiling point. Figure 2 shows the first page of the Profiling Point creation wizard
Figure 2. Creating a Profiling Point
Having created the two profiling points, we’ll collect a snapshot of each run of the test() method. Since the AddBigTable program loops, invoking this method several times, the Reset Results profiling point is important to avoid accumulation of an execution’s performance data with that for the previous one. There are other very useful types, like Stopwatch (which prints the execution time of a code section) and Timed Take Snapshot (for taking a snapshot at a fixed time after reaching the profiling point).
Now start the profiler with Profile>Profile Main Project. Select CPU and make sure the Entire Application and Use defined Profiling Points options are checked; also set the Filter option to Profile only project classes (see Figure 3).
Figure 3. Starting the profiler
With these settings we instruct the Profiler to observe code execution performance only for classes from our project. As profiling has a significant probe effect (it slows down the observed program), the Profiler allows you to minimize this through several filtering options. The Advanced settings dialog also lets you fine-tune profiling precision. For this experiment, however, the default settings will do, and you can click Run to start the profiling session.
The result of this session should be similar to Figure 4, with ten new snapshots collected. Just look at the last snapshot, which is already “good” (fully optimized execution). You can inspect the results in the Call Tree page (top-down view), in the Hot Spots page (bottom-up view), or in the Combined page, which is split between these two views.
Figure 4. The NetBeans Profiler, focusing on method execution time
The ByteBuffer.formatDouble() method’s “hot spot” can be easily identified. Apparently, this method alone takes ~20% of all the running time of the test, which is surely too long for a single method in a project as complex as iText. So, like vultures over rotting meat, let’s dive into the code, hoping to find something that can be optimized.
Double click the formatDouble() method in the Call Tree page to show its source code (see Listing 3). This method’s purpose is no rocket science: it just formats a double value into a String, with up to six digits of decimal precision. But the code is huge. If a static flag, HIGH_PRECISION, is set to true, the method just relies on Java SE’s DecimalFormat class. But if HIGH_PRECISION==false (the default), there follows a slab of code that’s guaranteed to violate every size and complexity limit enforced by code validation tools.
public static String formatDouble (double d, ByteBuffer buf) {
if (HIGH_PRECISION) {
// “Straight” formatting code
DecimalFormat dn = new DecimalFormat(“0.######”, dfs);
return dn.format(d);
}
// else... 200 lines(!) with custom formatting code.
}
Now, the obvious – and ironic – fact is that we’ve landed in code that was obviously optimized before. This is after all a mature project. What happens, one may ask, if HIGH_PRECISION is set to true? Not a pretty outcome. With HotSpot Server 6.0u3, the best individual running time goes from 562ms to 1,610ms! As in the original code, formatDouble() takes 20% of the total time, that means 112ms out of the total 562ms. With HIGH_PRECISION==true, as no other code is affected by this flag (I checked this), formatDouble() is consuming 72% of the total time. There’s a 1,030% slowdown for a single method, and a 186% slowdown for the whole test.
The usual suspect
It’s not surprising to find that DecimalFormat is a bottleneck. It’s a well-known fact that java.text’s formatters are broken performance-wise. DecimalFormat objects are very expensive to create since their constructors compile the format strings into an optimized representation that makes each parsing/formatting operation very fast.
This is only good, though, if you can reuse each formatter for a large number of operations; but these objects are not thread-safe, so reuse opportunities are limited. The result is that any multithreaded application – even those with container-managed threads like Java EE apps – are forced to continuously recreate formatters, what can be very expensive.
The best is enemy of the good
Voltaire was hardly thinking about computer programming when he wrote this famous quote, but it serves us well. In the context of code optimization, almost any code can be enhanced a little further – but once any sufficiently complex code is “good enough”, the additional optimization effort increases exponentially as you slowly approach the ideal of perfect, fastest-possible code.
The developer who noticed that SimpleDateFormat was chewing an insane amount of cycles may have jumped too early to the “perfect” solution: an extremely optimized, customized code that performs the required formatting as efficiently as physically possible in Java*3. But is this really necessary? Aren’t there alternative solutions which wouldn’t lead to a method that’s so massive and hard to maintain?
Analyzing iText’s ByteBuffer class*4, you can see that it’s not thread-safe, because of several mutable fields and no synchronization. This is the common design of most buffer-esque objects: they are not often shared, and if they are, they’re better synchronized in upper layers. But this means that the optimization shown in Listing 4 is valid. Here I created a shared DecimalFormat object, limiting the sharing to multiple invocations on the same ByteBuffer instance. As the buffers are never shared, the thread-safety limitation of DecimalFormat is meaningless. I performed the tests again with HIGH_PRECISION==true. The result was 1,047ms; much better than the original result with this option set, but still a significant slowdown (86% worse) over the score for HIGH_PRECISION==false.
public class ByteBuffer extends OutputStream {
...
private static final DecimalFormatSymbols dfs =
new DecimalFormatSymbols(Locale.US);
private DecimalFormat dnCached =
new DecimalFormat(“0.######”, dfs);
...
public static String formatDouble(double d, ByteBuffer buf){
if (HIGH_PRECISION) {
if (buf == null) {
DecimalFormat dn = new DecimalFormat(“0.######”, dfs);
return dn.format(d);
}
else {
buf.append(buf.dnCached.format(d));
return null;
}
}
...
}
This formatDouble() method is tricky: though static, it can be invoked with a ByteBuffer argument – an “optional this”. If a buffer is received, the formatted value is appended to the buffer; otherwise (i.e. null is passed), the formatted value is returned. So a good hypothesis is that I didn’t obtain all the speedup I wished for, because there are many invocations with buf==null, and I couldn’t optimize this case to reuse the formatter.
Back to the Profiler
Profilers are not only good for finding bottlenecks and performance bugs. They are also great for validating and refining your findings in an iterative and interactive process that should lead to the desired code enhancement.
In the same Call Tree page shown in Figure 4, right click the formatDouble() method and choose Show Back Traces. Now you have a new tab labeled “Back traces for: formatDouble”, showing all code paths that end in that method (see Figure 5). You’ll see two branches. The top one shows traces where the immediate caller of formatDouble() is the append(double) instance method, which passes this to its parameter buf. In the bottom branch, the caller is a static method formatDouble(double), which passes null for this parameter.
Figure 5. The Back Traces tab
We could imagine that the second branch is guilty for the remaining slowness; but a quick look at the numbers proves this not to be true. Even though each invocation in the “slow path” is very expensive, there are very few such invocations – a total of 130, compared to 157,532 invocations in the “fast path”. The “Time [%]” column in the same tab confirms that virtually all execution time goes to the fast-path branch.
This means that the remaining slowness is not caused by an excessive number of DecimalFormat instantiations. It comes from the execution of this object’s format() method, which is still slower than the highly customized code that ByteBuffer.formatDouble() has for the HIGH_PRECISION==false case.
Correct? Perhaps. There is one potential flaw in this conclusion: we don’t know how many ByteBuffer objects are being created. Consequently we don’t know how many times our optimized instance field (DecimalFormat dnCached) is being created. It’s time for a different profiling strategy.
Profiling memory allocation
Start the Profiler again, now with Profile>Profile Main Project, Memory. Accept the defaults for all options and run a new profiling session. Now we have more interesting results: each test iteration allocates 9,440 instances of ByteBuffer and 9,571 instances of DecimalFormat (this is after optimization – remember that the shared formatting object is only used for one of two possible code paths into formatDouble()). The original unoptimized code would allocate 166,973 instances of DecimalFormat per iteration.
I managed to cut 95% of these allocations (as well as the expensive constructions involved), so my instincts say there’s not much to be gained by cutting the remaining 5%. The remaining cost of the simpler formatting code should come from the execution of DecimalFormat.format(), not from the construction of DecimalFormat objects.
That’s game over for our analysis of formatDouble(). The method is already very close to an optimum implementation if DecimalFormat is to be used. See the box “Next step for formatDouble()?” for additional findings that are a final part of the optimization of that method – but follow me here in the investigation of the NetBeans Profiler.
Next step for formatDouble()?
In the investigation of iText summed up in the body of the article, I was able to optimize ByteBuffer.formatDouble()’s “straight” formatting code significantly (using SimpleDateFormat). But not enough to compete with the performance of the existing optimized formatter.
Profiling and optimization are hard, but even more difficult is making tradeoffs. Specifically, is the optimized code good enough to be preferable – if not by default, then at least in some circumstances – over the existing custom formatter? There’s no easy answer.
The original straight code was clearly unacceptable. You’ll notice, if you read iText’s full ByteBuffer.java, that the HIGH_PRECISION flag has its value hardwired. The shipping iText binary is compiled with HIGH_PRECISION==false, and this option can only be changed by editing the source code and recompiling the library.
Now, the optimized straight code makes my benchmark only 86% slower (instead of 186%) than the custom format code. This is still significantly slower, so certainly iText users would prefer to keep using the existing optimized formatter. Or not? Speed is not everything, and the name of the HIGH_PRECISION flag implies of course that when it’s set to false some loss of precision is expected. Indeed, the optimized formatter performs some approximations like this one (edited):
if (Math.abs(d) < 0.000015) {
return “0”;
}
This truncates many close-to-zero numbers, killing their sixth decimal position (plus roughly one bit of the fifth). There are additional approximations in the code.
An experiment talks louder than any hypothesis, so I executed the program twice, first with HIGH_PRECISION set to false and then setting the flag to true – with both runs writing the PDF content to a file as the original code did. The default low-precision setting produced a document with 119,262 bytes, but the high-precision document was significantly bigger: 135,007 bytes. Then I instrumented the program to format each value with both algorithms and dump the results. To my surprise, I saw that the optimized algorithm used only two decimal digits of precision for all numbers! Here’s a typical output for this instrumented run:
hi: 91.333344, lo: 91.33
hi: 18, lo: 18
hi: 1, lo: 1
hi: 333.818176, lo: 333.82
hi: 91.333344, lo: 91.33
hi: 18, lo: 18
hi: 1, lo: 1
hi: 333.818176, lo: 333.82
I discovered that my comparison is not fair. I’m comparing an algorithm that formats with six decimal digits of precision against one that goes only to two decimal places.
I fixed this by simply changing the format string to “0.##”. Touché: the PDF was created with 119,262 bytes, identical to the optimized formatter (which is also a good validation of our new code if we consider DecimalFormat as the “canonical” formatter). As a result, the execution time went down to 984ms. This is still 75% worse than the optimized formatter, so it doesn’t change matters a lot…
Unless the full precision is useful. If PDF files contain a large number of floating-point numbers, I’d expect additional precision to have an impact on the quality of the documents. I tried to measure this, but without success; the “high-precision” PDF looked identical to the “low-precision” one to my bare eyes (on 1280x1024 resolution and
using Adobe Reader 8.1).
Perhaps the problem is that the test document is too simple for us to detect the difference – it’s just a huge table with heading and borders, and loads of dummy alphanumerical data filling the cells. But a program that produces PDFs with complex, high-precision graphics – say, a CAD tool – may result in a perceivable advantage for the high-precision flag, especially when printing the PDF on a high-DPI printer or plotter. I will have to leave this conclusion to iText’s developers and advanced users.
If we consider that the high-precision output could be useful in some scenarios, the enhanced formatter might be a good option even with a significant speed hit. In this case I’d leave HIGH_PRECISON==false as default, but provide some means of changing it. (It’s also possible that I picked a sample that depends on formatDouble()’s performance much more than usual.)
The Memory Results view in Figure 6 shows the top allocations, which may be good enough for solving some performance diagnostics. Sometimes you’ll also need to consider the containment relationships between several classes: for example, most char[] objects are private fields of String or StringBuffer/StringBuilder objects, and all HashMap$Entry objects are used inside HashMap instances. So you can easily spot some common behaviors of iText; for example it creates a large number of Strings – which is not surprising since it’s a document-processing library. What seems less natural is that iText also allocates a good number of AbstractList$Itr objects. This doesn’t look like an unavoidable cost of the task being performed.
Figure 6. Top allocated objects by heap usage
We’ve found a place that deserves further inspection. We’ll need require additional profiling data: run a new memory profiling session, this time activating the option Record stack trace for allocation. Now, for each class listed in the Memory Results tab, the NetBeans Profiler enables a context menu item: Show Allocation Stack Traces.
In Figure 7 you can see all code locations where iterators are allocated. Java’s iterators often cause performance problems, because they are heap-allocated objects. They create additional costs as well: their “fail-fast” behavior makes their implementation more complex, requiring additional indirections and polymorphic calls inside loops. That’s why, in performance critical code, I avoid iterators like the plague*5.
Figure 7. Allocation stack traces for list iterators
Most iterators identified in Figure 7 are being created gratuitously, in methods like Phrase.getChunks() and PdfLine.toString(). The static type of iterated collections is always ArrayList, and iterators are used just for walking the collections (there are no other operations, like remove()). This shows that iText is optimized to avoid using collection interfaces (like List), when such flexibility is not necessary. In this case, why use iterators? Using loops with get() and size() would be faster.
A good excuse for iterators is dealing with collections whose static type is an interface, because you either don’t have access to more specialized access methods, or aren’t sure of their performance traits. In particular, iterating an arbitrary List with indexing is a potential disaster, because if the list happens to be a LinkedList, the random access methods are available but they’ll crawl, of course.
Both of these top iterator-allocating methods could benefit from indexed access and other optimizations. See Listing 5. The toString() method has two small problems. First, it uses StringBuffer (instead of the much better StringBuilder API of Java SE 5.0+); this is probably a concession to compatibility with older runtimes. Second, toString() does not preallocate the size of the buffer, which is difficult to estimate, because each PdfChunk.toString() may return a string with a different size. But in my experience, even a very raw and conservative estimation – say line.size()*16, where 16 is a (somewhat arbitrary) small size per chunk – is much better than no estimation at all (which often causes excessive reallocation).
// class PdfLine:
public String toString() {
StringBuffer tmp = new StringBuffer();
for (Iterator i = line.iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
tmp.append(((PdfChunk) i.next()).toString());
}
return tmp.toString();
}
// class Phrase:
public ArrayList getChunks() {
ArrayList tmp = new ArrayList();
for (Iterator i = iterator(); i.hasNext(); ){
tmp.addAll(((Element) i.next()).getChunks());
}
return tmp;
}
There’s a similar problem in the getChunks() method: the new ArrayList that accumulates elements taken from the current object (Phrase itself is a list) lacks preallocation. This case could also benefit from a conservative estimation, e.g. new ArrayList(size()).
So there you go – no less than five optimization opportunities in just two methods totalling 14 lines of code. Should we go ahead and execute all five? This requires, as usual, some additional thought. Of course I’d need to have more experience with the iText codebase to determine if each of these optimizations is worth its cost (e.g., the cost of having less maintainable/readable code, if you think that iterators are better than explicit indexed access).
In any case, this is a good opportunity to remember that efficient programs are not created only with a handful of super optimizations with order-of-magnitude gains (also known as “having fun”). They are also created with hundreds of tiny optimizations which in aggregate can make a very significant difference.
Walking the heap
The Heap Walker is another major new feature of the Profiler in NetBeans 6.0. Performance problems can often be diagnosed on a relatively high-level, with coarse summary information like “too many instances of X are being allocated”. But sometimes this isn’t enough; you need finer-grained data like “too many instances of X are allocated as fields of Y”. This leads to diagnostics like “perhaps I should lazy-initialize these fields since they’re rarely used”.
To help handling these situations is the role of the Heap Walker. In order to test this feature, run a new profiling session (any profiling mode will do) and in the middle of the program’s execution run Profile>Take Heap Dump. Pick Profiled project as the destination, stop the profiling session and open the heap dump (it’s available in the Saved snapshots window). Heap dumps will be opened by the Heap Walker, as in Figure 8.
Figure 8. The Heap Walker
The Heap Walker’s default Summary view shows some basic statistics, like the total number of bytes in the whole heap. But this tool is more valuable for collecting very fine-grained data. Start selecting the Classes view. This shows a tabulation of instance counts and heap sizes per class, similar to the Memory Results tab of the memory profiling snapshots. The difference is that now you can select a class and right click Show in Instances view.
This brings a three-pane view. The Instance pane lists every single instance of the class (instances may be grouped in blocks of 500). Select any individual instance, and you see its fields in the Fields pane and the objects that point to it in the References pane. This information about references is usually the most interesting.
For example, when inspecting a random Phrase object from iText, you’ll be able to see the whole tree of objects forming the PDF document’s object model. You can verify that a certain Phrase object is contained by a PdfPCell[] array, which is in a PdfPRow object, and so forth. The structure below the PdfPCell[] array seems to be a simple tree (each object having a single parent). Were I an iText developer, I would of course know this tree structure beforehand and wouldn’t be surprised with this piece of the heap dump. On the other hand, if I got a different dump than expected, e.g, with several live references to the same PdfPRow object, this could be evidence of some problem, such as a memory leak or bugs in the document construction algorithms.
Indeed, heap walking tools are often as useful for debugging as they are for profiling, if not even more handy.
Conclusions
The focus of this article was to illustrate profiling techniques on a real-world example and concentrate on the major new features in the NetBeans 6.0 Profiler: Profiling Points and the Heap Walker. (Incidentally, there are many other improvements we didn’t cover, such as comparison of memory snapshots, drill-down graphs, integration with JMeter, and support for JDK 6’s dynamic attachment facility.)
As you could see from our sample profiling sessions, code profiling and optimization can be a laborious, trial-and-error process. You may need to write new code just to support this work, even if you have access to the best tools; then you’ll spend most of your time thinking about the consequences of each code tweak. In my experience, the actual code optimization is often the easiest part. It’s often obvious, once you fully understand the problem.
Writing high performance code is difficult, but it is much easier with good tools. And the NetBeans Profiler is one of the best tools anywhere for that job: it automates repetitive tasks like taking snapshots at the right moment, runs efficiently so as to not break your creative mood with long pauses, and makes a lot of data easily accessible through clear visualizations.
If you go through the steps in this article following it as a tutorial, you’ll notice that the time spent in the Profiler (e.g., running a particular command) is minimal. That’s the mark of a great tool: not getting in your way – because you’re paid to build engines, not to use screwdrivers.
Footnotes
1 Profiling is the investigation of a program’s runtime behavior, specifically for this article, behavior, i.e. finding out how much computing resources are used and breaking up this use into specific regions or activities of the program. Benchmarking is assessing a program’s performance against some baseline. In application projects, you might create benchmarks for regression tests: if today’s build is 10% slower than yesterday’s build, that’s a performance regression. Profiling and benchmarking share some common issues, like avoiding dead code. The major technical difference is that benchmarks run at full speed, while profiling typically impacts the performance of the measured program. That’s because profiling must report fine-grained information about the subject, and this requires significant resources.

3 I don’t know the history of iText’s development, so this is really just a hypothesis that serves my reasoning here.
4 From iText’s com.lowagie.text.pdf package; no relation to java.nio.ByteBuffer.
5 Remember that Java 5’s enhanced-for does not avoid iterators; it only hides them from you: for (T item: items) will walk the items collection with an iterator. Incidentally, iterators are great candidates to be “lightweight objects”. This new language feature may appear in future JVMs; see John Rose’s Multi-language VM proposal at Another solution (specific to iterators and other objects that are typically used in local scope) is automatic stack allocation (driven by escape analysis), an optimization the HotSpot team is researching but which has not been implemented in production JVMs from Sun up to now.

But the values of the rxBuff are all the same and the average values are so different every time I play the programme.
Hello.
I edited your post to format your code better; you can see the changes by clicking on the pencil icon in the upper right corner of the post.
Can you explain more about your setup and your results? Are you using our LPS25H carrier board? What microcontroller and what I2C library or code are you using? (Where are the i2cTrans object and the I2C_ functions defined?) What value do you see in rxBuf when the values are all the same, and what do you mean by average values?
i2cTrans
I2C_
rxBuf
You should make sure you are using the correct casts to combine the rxBuf bytes. Our library does this:
return (int32_t)(int8_t)ph << 16 | (uint16_t)pl << 8 | pxl;
so you might need to do this in your code:
barom=((int32_t)(int8_t)rxBuf[2] << 16 | (uint16_t)rxBuf[1]<<8 | rxBuf[0]);
Kevin
I´m using a TI-RTOS Launchpad 2650 and I´m editing it with code composer studio. The objective is to read the values from the Altimu v10(gyro,acelom,magnetom and barom). I´ve made all readings correctly except from the barometre´s ones.
The problem is that when I read the values on the rxBuf, those three values always are the same, for example rxBuf[0]=47 rxBuf[1]=47 rxBuf[2]=47.
I get this values debugging it step by step and if I run the programme again those values are identical but with another value.
I just noticed you aren't setting the most significant bit of the register address. As the datasheet says:
In order to read multiple bytes incrementing the register address, it is necessary to assertthe most significant bit of the sub-address field. In other words, SUB(7) must be equal to 1while SUB(6-0) represents the address of the first register to be read.
Could you try using 0xA8 instead of 0x28 for the value of txBuf[0] in your read code?
txBuf[0]
Thanks, it finally worked. I didn´t realize of the SUB(7) value | https://forum.pololu.com/t/lps25h-problems-reading-output-data/12941 | CC-MAIN-2017-51 | refinedweb | 481 | 67.65 |

February 15, 2012 at 7:22 am
Hello.
First of all thank you for your work.
Now question:
I’m trying your sample with regular apple developer program.
server - MacOS
device - iPhone4 iOS 5.0.1
1 - Create new AppID that looks like “com.apple.mgmt.COMPANY.PRODUCT_NAME” (this is not very clear from README).
2 - Intall web.py (not easy step but this is general question, not mdm related)
3 - Perform other steps from README, server address is ip-address.
4 - Update SSL config strings in server.py to avoid warning at start:
from web.wsgiserver import CherryPyWSGIServer from web.wsgiserver.ssl_builtin import BuiltinSSLAdapter ssl_cert = “Server.crt” ssl_key = “Server.key” CherryPyWSGIServer.ssl_adapter = BuiltinSSLAdapter(ssl_cert,ssl_key,None)
5 - Launch server
6 - Install CA certificate and Enroll configuration at device.
7 - While Enroll installing I get such strings in console:
com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.managedconfiguration.mdmd[209]) <Warning>: (com.apple.managedconfiguration.mdmd) Check-in of Mach service failed. Already active: com.apple.managedconfiguration.mdmdpush-dev mdmd[209] <Warning>: Unable to bootstrap_check_in() to namedDelegatePort ‘com.apple.managedconfiguration.mdmdpush-dev’. APS connections will not persist past process lifetime. com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.managedconfiguration.mdmd[209]) <Warning>: (com.apple.managedconfiguration.mdmd) Check-in of Mach service failed. Already active: com.apple.managedconfiguration.mdmdpush-prod mdmd[209] <Warning>: Unable to bootstrap_check_in() to namedDelegatePort ‘com.apple.managedconfiguration.mdmdpush-prod’. APS connections will not persist past process lifetime.
8 - Send “DeviceInfo” command – nothing happens in device’s console for about 10 minutes. THIS IS PROBLEM
9 - Send push notification (not mdm command) to app, in console I see almost immediatelly:
unknown mdmd[273] <Notice>: (Note ) MDM: mdmd starting… unknown profiled[275] <Notice>: (Note ) profiled: Service starting… unknown mdmd[273] <Notice>: (Error) MDM: Rejecting MDM push dictionary because it does not contain the “mdm” key unknown mdmd[273] <Notice>: (Note ) MDM: Network reachability has changed. unknown mdmd[273] <Notice>: (Note ) MDM: Network reachability has changed. unknown mdmd[273] <Notice>: (Note ) MDM: mdmd stopping… /p>
Any thoughts what can be wrong with my MDM configuration (step 7,8)?
Van
February 28, 2012 at 10:17 am
Hello.
I have use your advice about manual MDM-formatted push message and it work. If I send push notification [“aps”:{“alert”:“My first push notification!”,“sound”:“default”},“mdm”:“A0433A31-2B0B-41FD-B79B-002F8C1A28D7”] when device connect to server and perform action (lock at least, don’t test another yet). So problem is with MDM-push-notification part of server.
I have send request to join enterprise program but doubt I’m already accepted. So this mean even with developer profile you are able to implement MDM :).
I will try to investigate why server from post doesn’t work fine. If server’s code have some error and I’ll find it - I’ll post here.
Thanks for help.

February 21, 2012 at 1:50 pm
Hey, first, thanks for that update to the CherryPy configuration. Those errors thrown the first time a client connected were annoying, but not so annoying that I ever looked into fixing it. :)
As for the problems you’re having… The notifications you copied in step 7 are normal (or at least, I see them too). Are you successfully enrolling? That is, does the server show response of Authenticate and TokenUpdate commands? I’m assuming it did, and that you’re using the device token in the “normal” push notification you sent in step 9.
Problem is, if step 9 is working (that is, if the message is at least getting to the client), then you’ve got APNS service working. Unless the test message sent in 9 is from a different network than what your test server is running on? For example, if you use an online service to test the push notification… In that case, I’d look into whether local network rules are preventing the outbound connection to Apple’s APNS servers.
You can try sending the proper MDM-formatted push message via whatever system you used in step 9, if it’ll allow you to create the right message (which it might not). I simply added the “{‘mdm’:’<pushmagic token>’}” property to a normal message, which gives an error on the device because of the extraneous “aps:” dict, but the mdm daemon processes the command anyway.
That’s all I can think of at the moment, that the push message simply isn’t getting from your sever to Apple’s servers, or perhaps if it is, the push cert might not be correct.
Van
February 28, 2012 at 11:28 am
I found why device don’t receive notification from server. I testing with developer provisioning profile, so must use gateway.sandbox.push.apple.com as notification server. But server was configured to use gateway.push.apple.com. To use sandbox I’m changed APNSNotificationWrapper param: “wrapper = APNSNotificationWrapper(‘PushCert.pem’, True)” It was False.
dschuetz
February 29, 2012 at 11:14 am
Ah! good catch. I thought developer push certs could use either server, but that they should use the sandbox when testing. Or perhaps that’s just how you created the certificate in the first place. I’ll try to make a note of that, it might trip up someone else too. :)
Starks
June 17, 2012 at 11:30 pm
Hi david_schuetz,
I met the same error which Van mentioned.
After the device enrolled, I can send mdm command to the device and get response from it.
However, when I tried to send normal apns message to device such as {“aps”,{“alert”:”Hello”}}, I got error from iPCU console:
<Notice>: (Error) MDM: Rejecting MDM push dictionary because it does not contain the “mdm” key
After that I add the mdm key with push magic, it shew the “MDM: Ignoring extra keys in push dictionary” warning.
Then I confused if the mdm framework supports the normal apns message(not contain “mdm” key) or not?
Many thanks.
Darth Null
June 18, 2012 at 9:05 am
Ideally, the MDM push message should not contain an “aps” key, but only the “mdm” key. However, the APNS library I used doesn’t let you send such a message (though it can easily be modified to do so). The “ignoring extra keys” warning shouldn’t affect anything.
You can’t use the MDM push enrollment to send “normal” APNS messages to the device (like the alert you describe above). To do that you’ll need to send to another client designed to accept such alerts.

August 24, 2012 at 10:10 am

IPythonBell 0.9.1
Python line & cell magic to notify the programmer when a line/cell has completed execution## About
IPython Bell is a simple magic for IPython, which notifies the user when the current line/cell has finished execution. This is particularly useful for long tasks. This also works in IPython QT and IPython Notebook. It can also notify you via. OS X Notification Center.
## Installation
IPython bell can be installed as a standard Python package: `cd ipython-bell/ && python setup.py install`
This can be imported into an IPython shell session using either: `import ipybell` or `%load_ext ipybell`
Although you probably want it to load when IPython loads, in which case, edit your IPython profile file (by default `~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py`)
and add `ipybell` to :
c.TerminalIPythonApp.extensions = [
'ipybell'
]
(you may need to create this).
##` -- (default) prints an audible bell character to `stdout` (doesn't work in Notebook).
* **Mac System Beep** `osx` -- system beep (Mac OS X only).
* **Notification Center** `nc` -- Notification Center (Mac OS X 10.8+ only)
* **Notification Center (silent)** `ncsilent` -- Notification Center, just popup (Mac OS X 10.8+ only)
Specified as follows (in this case, for Notification Center):
In [1]: %bell -n nc print 'hello'
hello
In[2]: %%bell -n nc

How can I create a copy of an object in Python?
To get a fully independent copy of an object you can use the
copy.deepcopy() function.
For more details about shallow and deep copying please refer to the other answers to this question and the nice explanation in this answer to a related question.
How can I create a copy of an object in Python?
So, if I change values of the fields of the new object, the old object should not be affected by that.
You mean a mutable object then.
In Python 3, lists get a
copy method (in 2, you'd use a slice to make a copy):
list('abc') a_copy_of_a_list = a_list.copy() a_copy_of_a_list is a_listFalsea_copy_of_a_list == a_listTruea_list =
Shallow Copies
Shallow copies are just copies of the outermost container.
list.copy is a shallow copy:
'foo': set('abc')}] lodos_copy = list_of_dict_of_set.copy() lodos_copy[0]['foo'].pop()'c'lodos_copy[{'foo': {'b', 'a'}}] list_of_dict_of_set[{'foo': {'b', 'a'}}]list_of_dict_of_set = [{
You don't get a copy of the interior objects. They're the same object - so when they're mutated, the change shows up in both containers.
Deep copies
Deep copies are recursive copies of each interior object.
0]['foo'].add('c') lodos_deep_copy[{'foo': {'c', 'b', 'a'}}] list_of_dict_of_set[{'foo': {'b', 'a'}}]lodos_deep_copy = copy.deepcopy(list_of_dict_of_set) lodos_deep_copy[
Changes are not reflected in the original, only in the copy.
Immutable objects
Immutable objects do not usually need to be copied. In fact, if you try to, Python will just give you the original object:
tuple('abc') tuple_copy_attempt = a_tuple.copy()Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'copy'a_tuple =
Tuples don't even have a copy method, so let's try it with a slice:
tuple_copy_attempt = a_tuple[:]tuple_copy_attempt = a_tuple[:]
But we see it's the same object:
is a_tupleTruetuple_copy_attempt
Similarly for strings:
'abc's0 = s[:] s == s0Trues is s0Trues =

When to copy immutable objects
Immutable objects should be copied if you need a mutable interior object copied.
0].append('a') copy_of_tuple_of_list(['a'],) tuple_of_list(['a'],) deepcopy_of_tuple_of_list = copy.deepcopy(tuple_of_list) deepcopy_of_tuple_of_list[0].append('b') deepcopy_of_tuple_of_list(['a', 'b'],) tuple_of_list(['a'],)tuple_of_list = [], copy_of_tuple_of_list = tuple_of_list[:] copy_of_tuple_of_list[
As we can see, when the interior object of the copy is mutated, the original does not change.
Custom Objects
Custom objects usually store data in a
__dict__ attribute or in
__slots__ (a tuple-like memory structure.)
To make a copyable object, define
__copy__ (for shallow copies) and/or
__deepcopy__ (for deep copies).
from copy import copy, deepcopyclass Copyable: __slots__ = 'a', '__dict__' def __init__(self, a, b): self.a, self.b = a, b def __copy__(self): return type(self)(self.a, self.b) def __deepcopy__(self, memo): # memo is a dict of id's to copies id_self = id(self) # memoization avoids unnecesary recursion _copy = memo.get(id_self) if _copy is None: _copy = type(self)( deepcopy(self.a, memo), deepcopy(self.b, memo)) memo[id_self] = _copy return _copy
Note that
deepcopy keeps a memoization dictionary of
id(original) (or identity numbers) to copies. To enjoy good behavior with recursive data structures, make sure you haven't already made a copy, and if you have, return that.
So let's make an object:
1, [2])c1 = Copyable(
And
copy makes a shallow copy:
is c2Falsec2.b.append(3) c1.b[2, 3]c2 = copy(c1) c1
And
deepcopy now makes a deep copy:
4) c1.b[2, 3]c3 = deepcopy(c1) c3.b.append(

If statements: Do you really need them in your code?
- select the contributor at the end of the page -
An if statement lets your program know whether or not it should execute a block of code. Comparison-based branching is a core component of programming. The concept of an if-else or switch block exists in almost every programming language. While there's nothing really wrong with using if statements, it can help to avoid them when possible.
Why, you might ask? Programming without if statements challenges you to think out of the box. You will have to learn other ways to structure your code, which may make it more readable. Plus, it can help you become more comfortable with data-driven and/or object oriented solutions.
Of course, writing without if statements might not always be the right answer. In fact, sometimes trying to avoid if statements will make the code less readable. But this exercise will help you see that there are other ways. Take a look at some examples below of code without the use of conditionals (if, switch, ternaries) to show you how to avoid if statements.
Example 1: Count the odd numbers in an arrayOfNumbers:
// Example input
let arrayOfNumbers = [1,4,5,9,0,-1,5];
// ***********
// Instead of:
// ***********
let counter1 = 0;
arrayOfNumbers.forEach(number => {
let remainder = Math.abs(number%2);
if (remainder === 1) {
counter1++;
}
});
console.log(counter1);
// ***********
// How about:
// ***********
let counter2 = 0;
arrayOfNumbers.forEach(number => {
let remainder = Math.abs(number%2);
counter2 = counter2 + remainder;
});
console.log(counter2);
In this example, we're taking advantage of the fact that the result of modulus 2 operation is always either 1 (for odd) or 0 (for even).
Example 2: Write a function that takes a date object argument, and returns the string "weekend" or "weekday"
// ***********
// Instead of:
// ***********
let weekendOrWeekday1 = inputDate => {
let day = inputDate.getDay();
if (day === 0 || day === 6) {
return "weekend";
} else {
return "weekday";
}
// Or, for ternary fans:
// return (day === 0 || day === 6) ? "weekend" : "weekday";
};
console.log(weekendOrWeekday1(new Date()));
// ***********
// How about:
// ***********
let weekendOrWeekday2 = inputDate => {
let day = inputDate.getDay();
let labels = { 0: "weekend", 6: "weekend", default: "weekday" };
return labels[day] || labels['default'];
};
console.log(weekendOrWeekday2(new Date()));
Did you notice that the if statement condition has some data in it? It tells us which days are weekends. We'll watch for this pattern, extract the data presented in the if statement into an object, and use that instead.
Example 3: (A bit more advanced) Write the function doubler; based on the type of input, it will do the following:
When the input is
- A number, it doubles it (i.e. 5 => 10, -10 => -20)
- A string, it repeats every letter (i.e. 'hello' => 'hheelloo')
- A function, it calls it twice
- An array, it calls itself on all elements of that array
- An object, it calls itself on all the values of that object
// ***********
// Instead of:
// ***********
let doubler1 = input => {
switch(typeof input) {
case "number":
return input + input;
case "string":
return input.split('').map(letter => letter + letter).join('');
case "object":
Object.keys(input).map(key => input[key] = doubler1(input[key]));
return input;
case "function":
input();
input();
}
};
console.log(doubler1(-10));
console.log(doubler1('hey'));
console.log(doubler1([5, 'hello']));
console.log(doubler1({a: 5, b: 'hello'}));
console.log(doubler1(function() { console.log('callme'); }));
// ***********
// How about:
// ***********
let doubler2 = input => {
let operationsByType = {
'number': input => input + input,
'string': input => input.split('').map(letter => letter + letter).join('');
'function': input => { input(); input(); },
'object': input => {
Object.keys(input).map(key => input[key] = doubler2(input[key]));
return input;
}
};
return operationsByType[typeof input](input);
};
console.log(doubler2(-10));
console.log(doubler2('hey'));
console.log(doubler2([5, 'hello']));
console.log(doubler2({a: 5, b: 'hello'}));
console.log(doubler2(function() { console.log('callme'); }));
Again, notice how the data (which operations should be done for which type) was all extracted out of the switch statement into an object, then the object was invoked with the correct parameter.
Now that you've seen a few examples of coding without if statements, what are your thoughts? Applied reasonably, programming without if statements can make your code better. If nothing else, it will help you see alternative solutions. And that’s a valuable skill for any coder. | https://www.pluralsight.com/blog/it-ops/if-statements | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | refinedweb | 693 | 50.23 |

We are about to switch to a new forum software. Until then we have removed the registration on this forum.
For class I have to create a Visualization of Music/Sound project using Minim along with the Tablet Library to have an external input control. Both my professor and myself have looked at this code and can not understand why it's running into problems. The code itself seems to run fine when I take out line 39 (the stroke weight using the tablet pressure) but when that line of code is in, the code will only work periodically, it seems to be overriding certain functions within the code; it will basically stop the code from running properly. This is a work in progress and I'm currently added and tweaking other features within it, but this problem is putting me at an impasse. (currently) if it runs ideally the code is supposed to play David Bowie's "Space Oddity" with the left and right channels seen on the screen in gray scale, there should then be a line of which you can draw with that follows the Tablet pen (along with the pressure of the pen) to be used to draw a picture with thats color is manipulated with coded key presses. Help is very much appreciated since we can't seem to come to a conclusion of what the problem might be or how to fix it... Thank you
here's the code:
import codeanticode.tablet.*; import ddf.minim.*;
Minim minim; Tablet tablet; AudioPlayer player; AudioInput input; AudioPlayer song;
float r;
void setup() { size (800, 600, P3D); smooth (); background (0);
minim = new Minim (this); tablet= new Tablet(this); song = minim.loadFile("David_Bowie_Space Oddity_stereo_version.mp3", 800); song.play();
}
void draw () { r = random (255); stroke (r,r,r);
// line at 150 and 450 out of 600 they reach a range of 200
for(int i = 0; i < song.bufferSize() - 1; i++) {
line ( i, 150 + song.left.get (i)*50, i+1, 150+song.left.get(i+1)*200); //left channel line ( i , 450 + song.right.get(i)*50,i +1,450 + song.right.get(i+1)*200); //right channel
}
if (mousePressed) { strokeWeight (10 * tablet.getPressure()); line (pmouseX, pmouseY, mouseX, mouseY); }
if (keyPressed) { if (key == 'o' ||key == 'O'){ //orange stroke (234,123,62,255); } if (key == 'b' || key == 'B') { //blue stroke (20,44,123,255); } if (key == 'l' || key == 'L'){ //light blue stroke (122,203,191,255); } if (key == 'a' || key == 'A') { //black stroke (0,0,0,255); } if (key == 's' || key == 'S') { //skin stroke (241,234,179,255); } if (key == 'r' || key == 'R') { stroke (255,0,0,255); } } }
void keyPressed () { //play and pause music... also causes song to repeat when done if (key== 'p') { if (song.isPlaying() ) { song.pause(); } //when its done tell it to play again... else if (song.position() == song.length() ) { song.rewind(); song.play(); } else { song.play(); } } }
Answers
@toomaj -- Please edit your post and format the code with CTRL-o to aid other forum members in reading and testing your code.
I can't test this without a tablet (possibly without your same model of tablet).
However, I suggest you start with a simple sketch to just test tablet pressure. Get that working, then integrate into your main sketch. Does the tablet library have example code for using the pressure? Are you sure that your tablet model supports pressure and is transmitting pressure data?
Example test sketch (untested):
Edit: changed point to line so that this actually shows strokeWeight.
Also note:
Hi Toomaj, if it's not too late...
This appears to be a bug with the tablet library (or, rather the Jpen library it uses). I'm gonna guess you've changed from the default renderer to P2D or P3D? This appears to trigger the bug. There may be other renderers/libraries that are triggering the same bug if you haven't switched from the default. Try
println(tablet.getPressure())and you'll see that it returns 0.0 for most sketches, working very occasionally when a particularly unusable sequence of mouse moves are attempted before using the tablet.
Switch the renderer back to default (removing P2D/P3D) and watch
tablet.getPressure()return accurate values again.
The author of the Processing library was aware of this issue a few months ago and said he was addressing it. It appears to still be an issue so perhaps there's not much hope of an update. It may be solely the problem of the Jpen library he relies on and the delay lays with them. I'm not sure.
See it here on his github page and add your feedback if it will help. There's also a hacky workaround on the same page that I'm really trying to avoid in the hope the bug gets addressed:
I thought I would add that from some further reading, it appears that using certain other libraries alongside
tabletproduces the same or a similar bug. To confirm, do as jeremydouglass mentioned, confirm
tablet.getPressure()is sending out expected numbers and then add the libraries you need and try again so see if
tablet.getPressure()now sends out 0.0 each time you try and draw with the pen. | https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/18755/tablet-library-help-how-to-get-tablet-pressure-to-work-in-code | CC-MAIN-2019-26 | refinedweb | 868 | 71.85 |
52965/how-do-you-make-a-higher-order-function-in-python
You have two choices to create higher-order functions: you can use nested scopes or you can use callable objects. For example, suppose you wanted to define line(a,b) which returns a function f(x) that computes the value a*x+b.
Using nested scopes:
def line(a, b):
def result(x):
return a * x + b
return result
Or using a callable object:
class line:
def __init__(self, a, b):
self.a, self.b = a, b
def __call__(self, x):
return self.a * x + self.b
In both cases,

1 Python style guide¶
In additions to these guidelines, you may also find the following link interesting:
- (a little bit outdated, but quite relevant)
1.1 magic methods¶
magic methods (starting and ending with two underscores) should not have to be called directly unless you're overriding a method of the same name.
magic methods are used to implement specific protocols and are called for you, either due to operator access or due to some special operation using them:
# bad levels.__contains__(name) # good name in levels # very bad kw.__setitem__('nodes',nodes) # much better kw['nodes'] = nodes
1.2 .clone()¶
rarely necessary (unless you really have no idea what the type of the variable you're trying to clone is), never necessary for built-in collections: just call the constructor with your existing collection:
# bad new_dict = my_dict.clone() # good new_dict = dict(my_dict) # bad new_list = old_list.clone() # good new_list = list(old_list)
And don't clone manually, please:
# surely you jest! values = [] for val in view_items: values += [val] # sane values = list(view_items)
1.3 the "clone and update"¶
the dict constructor takes both a single (optional) positional argument (either a dictionary-like object or an iterable of 2-tuples) and an unlimited number of keyword arguments. Thus, you can "merge" two different dictionaries into a third, new, dictionary:
# bad dictionary3 = dictionary1.clone() dictionary3.update(dictionary2) # worse dictionary3 = {} dictionary3.update(d1) dictionary3.update(d2) # good dictionary3 = dict(dictionary1, **dictionary2)
You can use those properties for simpler operations, such as cloning an existing dict and (re) setting a key:
# no context = kw.clone() context['foo'] = 'bar' # yes context = dict(kw, foo='bar')
1.4 "manual update"¶
the signature of dict.update is the same as dict(): a single, optional, positional argument and an unlimited number of keyword arguments.
Thus the following are possible:
merging a dict from another one:
# bad for key, value in other_dict.iteritems(): my_dict[key] = value # good my_dict.update(other_dict)
Setting a bunch of keys at the same time:
# bad my_dict['foo'] = 3 my_dict['bar'] = 4 my_dict['baz'] = 5 # good my_dict.update( foo=3, bar=4, baz=5)
1.5 Java dictionary creation¶
Python isn't java, it has literals:
# very very very bad my_dict = {} my_dict['foo'] = 3 my_dict['bar'] = 4 my_dict['baz'] = 5 # good my_dict = { 'foo': 3, 'bar': 4, 'baz': 5 }
1.6 "temporary kwargs"¶
keyword arguments are a good way to get a bunch of unspecified supplementary arguments if e.g. you just want to forward them:
def foo(**kwargs): logging.debug('Calling foo with arguments %s', kwargs) return bar(**kwargs)
or if you retrieved a ready-made dict (from another function) and want to pass its content to another function or method:
sessions = some_function_returning_a_dict_of_sessions() some_other_function(**sessions)
but there is no point whatsoever in creating a dict for the sake of passing it as **kwargs, just provide the damn keyword arguments:
# waste of time and space my_dict = { 'foo': 3, 'bar': 4, 'baz': 5 } some_func(**my_dict) # good some_func(foo=3, bar=4, baz=5)
1.7 deprecated methods (formally or informally)¶
dict.has_key(key) is deprecated, please use the in operator:
# bad kw.has_key('cross_on_pages') # good 'cross_on_pages' in kw
1.8 useless intermediate variables¶
Temporary variables can make the code clearer by giving names to objects, but that doesn't mean you should create temporary variables all the time:
# pointless schema = kw['schema'] params = {'schema': schema} # simpler params = {'schema': kw['schema']}
1.9 3 strikes, and the code's out¶
A bit of redundancy can be accepted: maybe you have to get the content of an axis:
col_axes = [] if kw.has_key('col_axis'): col_axes = self.axes(kw['col_axis'])
and a second one:
col_axes = [] if kw.has_key('col_axis'): col_axes = self.axes(kw['col_axis']) page_axes= [] if kw.has_key('page_axis'): page_axes = self.axes(kw['page_axis'])
But at the third strike, chances are you're going to need the thing again and again. Time to refactor:
def get_axis(self, name, kw): if name not in kw: return [] return self.axes(kw[name]) #[…] col_axes = self.get_axis('col_axis', kw) page_axes = self.get_axis('page_axis', kw)
The refactoring could also be an improvement of a method already called (be sure to check where the method is called in order not to break other pieces of code. Or write tests):
# from def axes(self, axis): axes = [] if type(axis) == type([]): axes.extend(axis) else: axes.append(axis) return axes def output(self, **kw): col_axes = [] if kw.has_key('col_axis'): col_axes = self.axes(kw['col_axis']) page_axes = [] if kw.has_key('page_axis'): page_axes = self.axes(kw['page_axis']) cross_on_rows = [] if kw.has_key('cross_on_rows'): cross_on_rows = self.axes(kw['cross_on_rows']) # to: def axes(self, axis): if axis is None: return [] axes = [] if type(axis) == type([]): axes.extend(axis) else: axes.append(axis) return axes def output(self, **kw): col_axes = self.axes(kw.get('col_axis')) page_axes = self.axes(kw.get('page_axis')) cross_on_rows = self.axes(kw.get('cross_on_rows'))
1.10 Multiple return points are OK, when they're simpler¶
# a bit complex and with a redundant temp variable def axes(self, axis): axes = [] if type(axis) == type([]): axes.extend(axis) else: axes.append(axis) return axes # clearer def axes(self, axis): if type(axis) == type([]): return list(axis) # clone the axis else: return [axis] # single-element list
1.11 Try to avoid type-testing¶
Python is a dynamically typed languages, if you don't absolutely need to receive a list, then don't test for a list, just do your stuff (e.g. iterating on it, then caller can provide any kind of iterator or container)
1.12 Don't use type if you already know what the type you want is¶
The type of a list is list, the type of a dict is dict:
# bad def axes(self, axis): if type(axis) == type([]): # we already know what the type of [] is return list(axis) else: return [axis] # good def axes(self, axis): if type(axis) == list: return list(axis) else: return [axis]
plus Python types are singletons, so you can just test for identity, it reads better:
# better def axes(self, axis): if type(axis) is list: return list(axis) else: return [axis]
1.13 But really, if you need type testing just use the tools python provides¶
The previous piece of code will fail if the caller provided a subclass of list (which is possible and allowed), because == and is don't check for subtypes. isinstance does:
# shiny def axes(self, axis): if isinstance(axis, list): return list(axis) # clone the axis else: return [axis] # single-element list
1.14 Don't create functions just to call callables¶
# dumb, ``str`` is already callable parent_id = map(lambda x: str(x), parent_id.split(',')) # better parent_id = map(str, parent_id.split(','))
1.15 Know your builtins¶
You should at least have a basic understanding of all the Python builtins ()
For example, isinstance can take more than one type as its second argument, so you could write:
def axes(self, axis): if isinstance(axis, (list, set, dict)): return list(axis) else: return [axis]
Another one is dict.get, whose second argument defaults to None:
# very very redundant value = my_dict.get('key', None) # good value= my_dict.get('key')
Also, if 'key' in my_dict and if my_dict.get('key') have very different meaning, be sure that you're using the right one.
1.16 Learn list comprehensions¶
When used correctly, list comprehensions can greatly enhance the quality of a piece of code when mapping and/or filtering collections:
# not very good cube = [] for i in res: cube.append((i['id'],i['name'])) # better cube = [(i['id'], i['name']) for i in res]
But beware: with great power comes great responsibility, and list comprehensions can become overly complex. In that case, either revert back to "normal" for loops, extract functions or do your transformation in multiple steps
1.17 Learn your standard library¶
Python is provided "with batteries included", but these batteries are often criminally underused. Some standard modules to know are itertools, operator and collections, among others (though be careful to note the python version at which functions and objects were introduced, don't break compatibility with the officially supported versions for your tool):
# no cube = map(lambda i: (i['id'], i['name']), res) # still no cube = [(i['id'], i['name']) for i in res] # yes, with operator.itemgetter cube = map(itemgetter('id', 'name'), res)
Excellent resources for this are the official stdlib documentation ( ) and Python Module of the Week (, do subscribe to its RSS feed)
1.18 Collections are booleans too¶
therefore, no need to call len:
# redundant if len(some_collection): "do something..." # simpler if some_collection: "do something..."
1.19 You can append a single object to a list, it's ok¶
# no some_list += [some_item] # yes some_list.append(some_item) # very no view += [(code, values)] # yes view.append((code, values))
1.20 Add lists into bigger lists¶
# obscure my_list = [] my_list += list1 my_list += list2 # simpler my_list = list1 + list2
1.21 Learn your standard library (2)¶
Itertools is your friend for all things iterable:
# ugly my_list = [] my_list += list1 my_list += list2 for element in my_list: "do something..." # unclear, creates a pointless temporary list for element in list1 + list2: "do something..." # says what I mean for element in itertools.chain(list1, list2): "do something..."
1.22 Iterate on iterables¶
# creates a temporary list and looks bar for key in my_dict.keys(): "do something..." # better for key in my_dict: "do something..." # creates a temporary list for key, value in my_dict.items(): "do something..." # only iterates for key, value in my_dict.iteritems(): "do something..."
1.23 Chaining calls is ok, as long as you don't abuse it (too much)¶
# what's the point of the ``graph`` temporary variable? # plus it shadows the ``graph`` module, bad move graph = graph.Graph(kw) mdx = ustr(graph.display()) # just as readable mdx = ustr(grah.Graph(kw).display())
NOTE:
yes, here the temporary variable graph is redendunt but sometime using such temporary variables helps debuging the code easier when you want to inspect the variable and you put breakpoint on the single line expression it's difficult to know when to do step-in and step-out.
1.24 Use dict.setdefault¶
If you need to modify a nested container for example:
# longer.. harder to read values = {} for element in iterable: if element not in values: values[element] = [] values[element].append(other_value) # better.. use dict.setdefault method values = {} for element in iterable: values.setdefault(element, []).append(other_value)
1.25 Use constants and avoid magic numbers¶
# bad limit = 20 # bad search(cr, uid, ids, domain, limit=20, context=context)
You should use a constant, name it correctly, and perhaps add a comment on it explaining where the value comes from. And of course it's cleaner, easier to read and there's only one place to modify. Oh and that is true not just for numbers, but for any literal value that is semantically a constant!
# better DEFAULT_SEARCH_LIMIT = 20 # limit to 20 results due to screen size search(cr, uid, ids, domain, limit=DEFAULT_LIMIT, context=context) | https://doc.odoo.com/v5.0/contribute/15_guidelines/coding_guidelines_python.html | CC-MAIN-2022-27 | refinedweb | 1,836 | 56.35 |

package MyPackage use Moose; use MooseX::Types::NumUnit qw/NumUnit NumSI num_of_unit/; has 'quantity' => ( isa => NumUnit, default => 0 ); has 'si_quantity' => ( isa => NumSI, required => 1 ); has 'length' => ( isa => num_of_unit('m'), default => '1 ft' );
DESCRIPTION
This module provides types (
NumUnit and friends) for Moose which represent physical units. More accurately it provides String to Number coercions, so that even if the user inputs a number with an incorrect (but compatible) unit, it will automatically coerce to a number of the correct unit.
A few things to note: since
NumUnit and friends are subtypes of
Num, a purely numerical value will not be coerced. This is by design, but should be kept in mind. Also
NumUnit and friends are coerced by default (see "AUTOMATIC COERCION").
PACKAGE VARIABLES
$MooseX::Types::NumUnit::Verbose
When set to a true value, a string representing any conversion will be printed to
STDERR during coercion.
TYPE-LIKE FUNCTIONS
Since version 0.02,
MooseX::Types::NumUnit does not provide global types. Rather it has exportable type-like function which behave like types but do not pollute the "type namespace". While they behave like types, remember they are functions and they should not be quoted when called. They are null prototyped though, should they shouldn't (usually) need parenthesis. Futher they are not exported by default and must be requested. For more information about this system see MooseX::Types.
NumUnit
A subtype of
Num which accepts a number with a unit, but discards the unit on coercion to a
Num. This is the parent unit for all other units provided herein. Of course those have different coercions.
NumSI
A subtype of
NumUnit which coerces to the SI equivalent of the unit passed in (i.e. a number in feet will be converted to a number in meters). In truth it is not strictly the SI equivalent, but whatever Physics::Unit thinks is the base unit. This should always be SI (I hope!).
ANONYMOUS TYPE GENERATORS
This module provides functions which return anonymous types which satisfy certain criteria. These functions may be exported on request, but are not exported by default. As of version 0.04, if a given unit has already been used to create a
NumUnit subtype, it will be returned rather than creating a new subtype object.
num_of_unit( $unit )
Creates an anonymous type which has the given
$unit. If a number is passed in which can be converted to the specified unit, it is converted on coercion. If the number cannot be converted, the value of the attribute is set to
0 and a warning is thrown.
num_of_si_unit_like( $unit )
Creates an anonymous type which has the SI equivalent of the given
$unit. This is especially handy for composite units when you don't want to work out by hand what the SI base would be.
As a simple example, if
$unit is
'ft', numbers passed in will be converted to meters! You see, the unit only helps specify the type of unit, however the SI unit is used. Another way to think of these types is as a resticted
NumSI of a certian quantity, allowing a loose specification.
As with
num_of_unit, if a number is passed in which can be converted to the specified (SI) unit, it is converted on coercion. If the number cannot be converted, the value of the attribute is set to
0 and a warning is thrown.
AUTOMATIC COERCION
Since the NumUnit types provided by this module are essentially just
Num types with special coercions, it doesn't make sense to use them without coercions enabled on the attribute. To that end, this module mimics MooseX::AlwaysCoerce, with the exception that it only enables coercion on
NumUnit and its subtypes. To prevent this, manually set
coerce => 0 for a given attribute and it will be left alone, or better yet, just use
Num as the type.
NOTES
This module defines the unit
mm (
millimeter) which Physics::Unit inexplicably lacks.

Tutorial-Get-Started
LabTalk is a scripting language in Origin, which can be used to perform importing, data analysis and graphing and publication by writing and executing script. The LabTalk script can be executed both independently, or as a part of an analysis dialog in the Origin GUI.
A LabTalk script.
The LabTalk programming statements can be written from several elements, which are: system variables, commands, functions, macros, objects and X-Functions.
There are many ways to run LabTalk script, the most frequent being from Script/Command Window, from .ogs files, or from a toolbar button and graphical objects.
In this tutorial, you will learn:
The Script Window and Command Window are most commonly used to execute LabTalk script, each supports both single and multiple lines of script execution.
The Script Window has only a cursor and will execute highlighted code or code at the current cursor position when you press Enter, while the Command Window has a prompt and will execute all code entered at the prompt.
The Command Window includes auto-completion and hint for X-functions and command history, and supports recall of line history, however the Command Window history is not editable as from Script Window. User should choose to run script in either windows based on his/her own needs.
From Script Window
type -b "Hello World"
newbook;
wks.ncols=4;
type -a "In %H, there are $(wks.ncols) columns."
loop(num,1,4)
{
num =;
}
From Command Window
An alternative to type multiple lines without execution is to use Ctrl+Enter to create a new line. This can be used in both Script Window and Command Window.
type -b "HELLO WORLD";
[Section1]
type -a "Hello";
[Section2]
type -a "World";
run.file(Test)
run.section(Test, Section1)
From Toolbar Buttons
From Graphical Objects
run.section(Test, Section2);
Once a graphical object becomes a button, you can use Button Edit Mode(Edit:Button Edit Mode or Ctrl + Alt + B) to edit its properties or hold down the Alt key and double-click the button. If you use Button Edit Mode, remember to select it again to turn it off.
Usage and examples of different LabTalk elements are summarized below:
//Run the following script line to get the variable value
@ASC = ;
//Run the following script line to set the variable value to be 10 (MB)
@ASC = 10;
//Display string in a dialog box with Yes and No buttons
type -n "Do you want to continue?";
type -a Script continues here since you clicked Yes.;
//Define a string "Hello World" first
string str1$ = "Hello World";
//Use the function to get the first 5 characters of the pre-defined string
string strLeft$ = Left(str1$,5)$;
strLeft$ = ; //should return Hello
//Fill column A with a defined sequence of numbers
col(A) = data(600,850,10); // Fill column A with 600 to 850 in steps of 10
def testmacro
{
repeat %1
{
repeat %2
{
type -l "=";
}
type;
}
}
testmacro 2 64; // '2' is substituted for %1 and 64 for %2
System.path.program$ = ;
//The directory path of Origin's executable (.EXE) file should be returned
//The workbook will be named as Test1 (both long and short name)
//There'll be 5 worksheets in this workbook
newbook name:=Test1 sheet:=5 option:=lsname;
double CubeRoot(double x)
{
if(x < 0)
return -10^(log10(abs(x))/3);
else
return 10^(log10(x)/3);
}
double aa = CubeRoot(125);
aa = ;//It should return aa=5 | https://cloud.originlab.com/doc/LabTalk/Tutorials/Tutorial-Get-Started | CC-MAIN-2021-21 | refinedweb | 567 | 57 |
I want to define a JavaScript class, Foo.
Foo = function(value){ this.value = value; };
I will create "instances" of my Foo:
foo1 = new Foo(1); foo2 = new Foo(1);
and I want my instances of Foo to be comparable with each other using the standard == equality operator:
foo1 == foo2; // this should be true
I can not find a way to do this. I thought I was on to something with the
valueOf() function, but this is only useful when one side of the comparison is a primitive, not as above where both are of type object.
Have I missed something really simple akin to Ruby's
def ==(obj); end
Not in a clean way...
Foo = function (value){ this.value = value; };
Override the toString function of your own object:
Foo.prototype.toString = function( ){ return this.value.toString(); }
Creating two test objects:
foo1 = new Foo(1); foo2 = new Foo(1);
If the values of your objects is strings or numbers, you can have the javascript engine to convert your objects to a string by adding them to an empty string:
alert( ""+foo1 === ""+foo2 ); //Works for strings and numbers
The same thing but cleaner:
alert( foo1.toString() === foo2.toString() ); //Works for strings and numbers
If the values of your objects is numeric only, you can use the unary + operator to convert the object to a number:
alert( +foo1 === +foo2 ); //Works for numbers
However, I recommend you to both define the toString as above and also an equals:
Foo.prototype.equals=function(b){return this.toString() === b.toString();}
And then call it like this:
alert ( foo1.equals(foo2) );
Since you now have defined toString you can:
alert(foo1); // Alerts the value of foo1 instead of "[Object object]" alert("foo1: " + foo1); // Alerts "foo1: 1". Useful when debugging. | https://www.dowemo.com/article/70369/in-javascript,-compare-how-an-object-is-compared | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | refinedweb | 292 | 67.59 |

Building a self-hosted CI/CD pipeline how to use Platypush to set up a pipeline that:
Reacts to push and tag events on a Gitlab or Github repository and runs custom Platypush actions in YAML format or Python code.
Automatically mirrors the new commits and tags to another repo - in my case, from Gitlab to Github.
Runs a suite of tests.
If the tests succeed, then it proceeds with packaging the new version of the codebase - in my case, I run the automation to automatically create the new
platypush-gitpackage for Arch Linux on new pushes, and the new
platypushArch package and the
pippackage on new tags.
If the tests fail, it sends a notification (over email, Telegram, Pushbullet or whichever plugin supported by Platypush). Also send a notification if the latest run of tests has succeeded and the previous one was failing.
Note: since I have moved my projects to a self-hosted Gitlab server, I could have also relied on the native Gitlab CI/CD pipelines, but I have eventually opted not to do so for two reasons:
Setting up the whole Docker+Kubernetes automation required for the CI/CD pipeline proved to be a quite cumbersome process. Additionally, it may require some properly beefed machine in order to run smoothly, while ideally I wanted something that could run even on a RaspberryPi, provided that the building and testing processes aren't too resource-heavy themselves.
The alternative provided by Gitlab to setting up your Kubernetes instance and configuring the Gitlab integration is to get a bucket on the cloud to spin a container that runs all you have to run. But if I have gone so far to set up my own self-hosted infrastructure for hosting my code, I certainly don't want to give up on the last mile in exchange of a small discount on the Google Cloud services :).
Installing Platypush
Let's start by installing Platypush with the required integrations.
If you want to set up an automation that reacts on Gitlab events then you'll only need the
http integration, since we'll use Gitlab webhooks to trigger the automation:
$ [sudo] pip install 'platypush[http]'
If you want to set up the automation on a Github repo you'll only have one or two additional dependencies, installed through the
github integration:
$ [sudo] pip install 'platypush[http,github]'
~/.config/platypush/config.yaml file that contains the service configuration - for now we'll just enable the web server:
# The backend listens on port 8008 by default backend.http: enabled: True
Setting up a Gitlab hook tunnel.http.hook, in order
Received event line with a content like this on the standard output or log file of Platypush:
{ "type": "event", "target": "platypush-host", "origin": "gitlab-host", "args": { "type": "platypush.message.event.http.hook.WebhookEvent", "hook": "repo-push", "method": "POST", "data": { "object_kind": "push", "event_name": "push", "before": "previous-commit-id", "after": "current-commit-id", "ref": "refs/heads/master", "checkout_sha": "current-commit-id", "message": null, "user_id": 1, "user_name": "Your User", "user_username": "youruser", "user_email": "you@email.com", "user_avatar": "path to your avatar", "project_id": 1, "project": { "id": 1, "name": "My project", "description": "Project description", "web_url": "", "avatar_url": "", "git_ssh_url": "git@git.platypush.tech:platypush/platypush.git", "git_http_url": "", "namespace": "My project", "visibility_level": 20, "path_with_namespace": "platypush/platypush", "default_branch": "master", "ci_config_path": null, "homepage": "", "url": "git@git.platypush.tech:platypush/platypush.git", "ssh_url": "git@git.platypush.tech:platypush/platypush.git", "http_url": "" }, "commits": [ { "id": "current-commit-id", "message": "This is a commit", "title": "This is a commit", "timestamp": "2021-03-06T20:02:25+01:00", "url": "", "author": { "name": "Your Name", "email": "you@email.com" }, "added": [], "modified": [ "tests/my_test.py" ], "removed": [] } ], "total_commits_count": 1, "push_options": {}, "repository": { "name": "My project", "url": "git@git.platypush.tech:platypush/platypush.git", "description": "Project description", "homepage": "", "git_http_url": "", "git_ssh_url": "git@git.platypush.tech:platypush/platypush.git", "visibility_level": 20 } }, "args": {}, "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json", "User-Agent": "GitLab/version", "X-Gitlab-Event": "Push Hook", "X-Gitlab-Token": "YOUR GITLAB TOKEN", "Connection": "close", "Host": "platypush-host:8008", "Content-Length": "lenght" } } }
These are all fields provided on the event object that you can use in your hook to build your custom logic.
Setting up a Github integration
~/.config/platypush/config.yaml under the
backend.github section:
Received event log line like this:
{ ": "you@email.com", .
Automated repository mirroring me git@git.you.com:you/myrepo.git /opt/repo
Then add a new remote that points to your mirror repo:
$ cd /opt/repo $ git remote add mirror git@github.com:/you/myrepo.git $ git fetch
Then try a first
git push --mirror to make sure that the repos are aligned and all conflicts are solved:
$ git push --mirror -v mirror
Then add a new
sync_to_mirror function in your Platypush script file that looks like this:.
Running tests
If our project is properly set up, then it probably has a suite of unit/integration tests that.http.hook', 'git@git.you.com
/tmp/repo if works on my box" issue.
Serve the test results over HTTP
Now you can simply serve
/var/log/tests over an HTTP server and the logs can be accessed from your browser. Simple case:
$ cd /var/log/tests $ python -m http.server 8000
The logs will be served on..
passed.svg or
failed.svg) to e.g.
/var/log/tests:
[]()
And there you go - you can now show off a dynamically generated and self-hosted status badge on your README without relying on any cloud runner.
Automatic build and test notifications
Another useful feature of the popular cloud services is the ability to send notification build changes. We will also use the
variable plugin to retrieve and store the latest status, so that notifications are triggered only when the status changes:
from platypush.context import get_plugin from platypush.event.hook import hook from platypush.message.event.http.hook
PushbulletEvent when a Pushbullet note is sent, and you can easily leverage this to build some downstream logic with hooks that react to these events.
Continuous delivery
GithubCreateEvent if you are using Github, and create a Platypush hook that reacts to tag events by running the logic of
on_repo_push, and additionally make a package build and upload it with Twine if the tests are successful:
import importlib import os import subprocess from platypush.event.hook import hook from platypush.message.event.http.hook!
Continuous delivery of web applications
We have seen in this article some examples of CI/CD for stand-alone applications with a complete test+build+release pipeline. The same concept also applies to web services and applications. If your repository stores the source code of a website, then you can easily create automations that react to push events and pull the changes on the web server and restart the web service if required. This is in fact the way I'm currently managing updates on the Platypush blog and homepage. Let's see a small example where we have a Platypush instance running on the same machine as the web server, and suppose that our website is served under
/srv/http/myapp (and, of course, that the user that runs the Platypush service has write permissions on this location). It's quite easy to tweak the previous hook example so that it reacts to push events on this repo by pulling the latest changes, runs e.g.
npm run build to build the new
dist files and then copies the
dist folder to our web server directory:
import os import shutil import subprocess from platypush.event.hook import hook from platypush.message.event.http.hook import WebhookEvent # Path where the latest version of the repo has been cloned tmp_path = '/tmp/repo' # Path of the web application webapp_path = '/srv/http/myapp' # Backup path of the web application backup_webapp_path = '/srv/http/myapp-backup' # ...() # ...

I've decided to write this article after reading the novel 'THE ASTI SPUMANTE CODE' by Toby Clements, which is a parody of 'THE DA VINCI CODE' by Dan Brown. I'm not that obsessed with any of these books, but just thought it would be more interesting to introduce UPC-A barcoding from such a perspective; though sarcastic.
Almost every item we buy or own has a barcode printed on it. We see those barcodes every day, but still we don't understand what they really mean or how to generate them. The major benefit of using barcodes is to automate and improve the speed and accuracy of data collection. That's why we see them on most sellable items.
One other way to look at barcodes is to think of them as one other form of cryptography that's so easy to decipher using barcode scanners. For example, a UPC-A barcode is a simple encoding of a 12 digit number into its bit representation, where 1 is represented as black vertical line and 0 represented as white vertical line. We will be creating a Java program that just does that.
Note: Image Cropped From 'THE ASTI SPUMANTE CODE' Book Cover
In 'The Da Vinci Code', the secret that Robert Langdon and Sophie were searching for was the Holy Grail, which the Priory of Sion has hidden for centuries. However, in 'The ASTI SPUMANTE CODE', the secret that James Crack and Emily were searching for was the greatest book that will ever be written. According to Toby Clements, 'the secret ingredients of this book - characterization, plot, setting, and so forth - what para-literalists call the Asti Spumante Code - are contained on something called the Mure-de-Paume, the legendary keystone.'
While searching for the code, James Crack and Emily find a prolix, or simply what I concluded, a book. They discover under the book's red leather cover 'a rectangle of paper approximately five centimeters by three, laminated to the back of the prolix. On the piece of paper were a set of lines of differing widths and heights that could be read from right to left, or left to right, or not at all. It was a code. A barcode.' As sarcastic as this can get, it does describe what a barcode looks like.
In order to be able to read the barcode, James Crack escapes to London to a bookstore owned by Donnie Dogs. Clark asks Dogs about barcodes, and Dogs explains that barcodes are named by scholars as UPC, or Universal Product Code. Manufactures buy those barcodes from UCC, or Uniform Code Council. The UPC is made up of exactly 12 digits. Each digit is represented as a stream of 7 bits, and each bit corresponds to a slice (1 for black slices and 0 for white ones). The first 6 digits for the 12-digit UPC correspond to the manufacturer code, and they are handed down by UCC. The next 5 digits correspond to the product code, and they are filled by the manufacturer. The last digit is a check digit used to help the barcode scanner make sure that it read the right code number. And as we've all seen, in a bookstore or super market, a scanner reads the barcode through red laser beams (i.e. barcode reader). In 'The ASTI SPUMANTE CODE', it is this check digit that James and Emily have to calculate in order to reach the hidden secret. Wow, what an impossible mission!
The check digit is calculated by first adding the odd-spaced digits (6 characters), multiplying them by three, then adding them to the sum of the even-spaced digits (5 characters since we exclude the check digit). Then subtract from the next higher multiple of 10.
For example, let's say we want to find the check digit for the following code: 31415926535.
3 * (3 + 4 + 5 + 2 + 5 + 5) + (1 + 1 + 9 + 6 + 3) = 3 * (24) + (20) = 92
==> Check code = 100 - 92 = 8.
There are many kinds of barcodes:
The kind that Toby Clements refers to in his parody is UPC-A. In the UPC code, only the digits [0-9] are allowed. However, in other types of barcoding, you might have characters, symbols, or even images!
In addition to the information that Dogs mentioned, there remains some useful information that we need to know about the UPC-A barcode.
We can divide the 12 digit UPC code into two parts: the left 6 digits and the right 6 digits. Every digit has its predefined stream of bits based on whether it is a left or a right digit.
For example, the left 3 in the following code 314159265358 would be converted into 0111101, while the right 3 would be converted into 1000010.
The left, middle, and right codes are used to help the scanner (or reader) identify where the code starts and ends. The number system is a single digit which identifies the type of the product.

The remaining digits should be well known by now, as explained by Dogs and as shown in the figure.
This program converts a 12 digit code into a barcode. The whole idea is very simple: read a digit, convert it to its corresponding 7 bits based on whether it is on the left or the right, and then draw a vertical line for every 1, and skipping space for every 0. The program also includes a feature to let you calculate the check digit. In case you have entered a wrong check digit, the program doesn't display a barcode.
UPC is the number entered by the user, and barcode is the alternating black and white lines (or slices) that we want to generate.
I have used BlueJ as the environment to implement this program. So if you have BlueJ, you can easily open it, view the UML diagram, and run the Main class. Otherwise, you can always run the *.jar file or execute the Run.bat file.
Main
As shown in the figure above, the Main class uses the ASBarcode class, which is the major class that contains all the program's logic. The ASBarcode uses the UPCField and BarcodeLabel classes. The UPCField class inherits from the MNDigitField class, which represents a text field that allows only digits and up to maximum of N digits. This class also has two component actors (MComponentActor and NComponentActor) which act on two components (MComponent and NComponent). In our case, the MComponent is the 'Generate Check Digit' button, the NComponent is the 'Generate Barcode' button, and the action that the MComponentActor and NComponentActor do is enable or disable the buttons.

We have a panel (ASBarcode) containing a text field (UPCField) where the user can enter UPC-A code, a barcode label (BarcodeLabel) generated when the user clicks "Generate Bar Code" button, a label ("Enter UPC"), and two buttons ("Generate check Digit" and "Generate bar Code"). The two buttons are initially disabled. Once the user types 11 characters in the UPC-A field (UPCField), the "Generate Check Digit" button becomes enabled. The user will then click this button, and the check digit will be generated. As a result, the UPC field will now contain 12 characters, and thus the "Generate Check Digit" buttons gets disabled and the "Generate Bar Code" button gets enabled. Now, the user would click on the "Generate Bar Code" button, and the barcode will be generated based on the UPC-A code specified in the UPC field. However, before generating the barcode label, the program checks if the UPC-A code entered by the user is valid (UPC-A is valid if it is a 12 digit number and the value of the check digit is valid). In case the UPC-A code is invalid, nothing is displayed on the barcode label.

The logic of the program is found in the ASBarcode() constructor, and the main method is used to test the ASBarcode class.
ASBarcode()
Create the Barcode Label with a slice width of 2 pixels and a slice height of 150 pixels. Let the color of slices (1) be black and of empty space (0) be orange. In case there is any other number (other than 0 or 1), then draw the red color to reflect that something went wrong. Add the barcode label to its panel.
barcodeLabel = new BarcodeLabel
(2, 150, Color.black, codeProjectOrange, Color.red);
BarcodeListener
The method below is called when the 'Generate Check Digit' button is clicked.
void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
{
// Generate the check digit and append it at the end of the 11-digit UPC field
upcField.generateCheckDigit ();
}
The method below is called when the 'Generate Bar Code' button is clicked. If the check digit is valid, the barcode is generated and displayed.
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
{
// Generate the barcode only if the check digit is valid
if (upcField.isCheckDigitValid ())
{
// Set the UPC of the barcode label
barcodeLabel.setUPC (upcField.getUPC());
// Validate the UPC of the barcode label
barcodeLabel.validateUPC ();
// Generate the barcode
barcodeLabel.generateBarcode ();
// Select the text in the UPC field
upcField.selectAll ();
}
else
{
// Make the barcode as invalid so that nothing would be drawn on
// the barcode panel.
// Check BarcodeLabel.paintComponent
barcodeLabel.setValid (false);
}
}
We first start by defining the constants:
// Put in front and at end of every barcode
final String quiteZone = "000000000";
// Put after quite zone at the front - <a href="%22#Structure">See Figure</a>
final String leftStartCode = "101";
// Put before quite zone at the end - <a href="%22#Structure">See Figure</a>
final String rightEndCode = "101";
// Put in the center of every barcode - <a href="%22#Structure">See Figure</a>
final String centerCode = "01010";
// Represent the <a href="%22#Bits">left UPC bits</a> for the digits
final String leftCodes[] = {"0001101", "0011001", "0010011", "0111101",
"0100011", "0110001", "0101111", "0111011",
"0110111", "0001011"};
// Represent the <a href="%22#Bits">right UPC bits</a> for the digits
final String rightCodes[] = {"1110010", "1100110", "1101100", "1000010",
"1011100", "1001110", "1010000", "1000100",
"1001000", "1110100"};
// represents the number of slices in a UPC-A
final int sliceNum = 113; // 3 + 3 + 5 + (12 * 7) + (9 * 2) = 113
The quite zone, left, center, and right codes will be added to every barcode we are going to generate.
We would care to know the number of slices we have in order to define the widths of the slices and of the panel that will hold them. The sliceNum is a constant equal to 113. This is the sum of the left, center, right codes (3 + 5 + 3), the 12 digits, where each digit is made up of 7 slices or bits (12 * 7), and the quite zone (9 * 2).
sliceNum
113
String UPC; // UPC to be converted into barcode
String barcode; // the barcode
boolean valid; // UPC is valid or not?
Color barColor; // The color of the slice corresponding to bit 1
Color spaceColor; // The color of the slice corresponding to bit 0
Color errorColor; // In case the bit is neither 0 or 1 (something wrong)
int x; // Represents the current x coordinate of the slice
int sliceWidth; // Represents the width of the slice
int width; // Width of barcode label
int height; // height of barcode label
The constructor sets the color and size of the barcode label.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// Constructor...
//
// sw is the slice width and sh is the slice height.
// bc is the bar color, sc is the space color, and ec is error color.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
public BarcodeLabel (int sw, int sh, Color bc, Color sc, Color ec)
{
// Upc is initially invalid
valid = false;
// Set x initially to zero
x = 0;
// Set the slicewidth
sliceWidth = sw;
// Set the width of barcode label
width = sliceNum * sw;
// Set the height of barcode label
height = sh;
// Set the colors
barColor = bc;
spaceColor = sc;
errorColor = ec;
// Set the background color to space color
this.setBackground (spaceColor);
// Set the preferred size of the barcode label
this.setPreferredSize (new Dimension (width, height));
}
The paintComponent() method draws the barcode label by first clearing the background and then only drawing the slices if the UPC code is valid.
paintComponent()
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// Paints the barcode only if it is valid...
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
public void paintComponent (Graphics page)
{
super.paintComponent (page);
// Clear the barcode before drawing
page.setColor (getBackground ());
page.fillRect (0, 0, width, height);
// Draw the barcode only if the UPC is valid
if (isValid ())
drawBarcode (page);
}
This method takes care of drawing the vertical slices over the label.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// Draws the barcode if it is not null.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
public void drawBarcode (Graphics page)
{
int barcodeLength;
// Set x to zero
x = 0;
if (barcode != null)
{
// Get the barcode length
barcodeLength = barcode.length ();
// Loop over every character (0 or 1)
for (int i = 0; i < barcodeLength; i++)
{
// Draw a white slice for the 0
if (barcode.charAt (i) == '0')
{
page.setColor (spaceColor);
}
// Draw a black slice for the '1'
else if (barcode.charAt (i) == '1')
{
page.setColor (barColor);
}
// Draw a red slice to show something graphically
else
{
page.setColor (errorColor);
}
// Update the coordinates
x += sliceWidth;
// Draw the slices at the specified coordinates
page.fillRect (x, 0, sliceWidth, height);
}
}
}
The UPC must be exactly 12 digits before we can generate the barcode from it.
//---------------------------------------------------------------------

Calls the parent (MNDigitField) constructor to create a text field that only accepts digits with a maximum of N (12) digits. When exactly M (11) digits are entered, the MComponent ('Generate Check Digit' button) is acted upon (enabled). Otherwise, the action is undone (button disabled). When exactly N (12) digits are entered, the NComponent ('Generate Bar Code' button) is acted upon (enabled). Otherwise, the action is undone (button disabled).

This is a class that allows you to create a text field with only digits and with a maximum of N digits. Once the number of digits becomes M, an MAction is performed on the MComponent. And once the number of digits is not M anymore, an MReaction is performed. The same is true for N. Once the number of digits becomes N, an NAction is performed on the NComponent, and once the number of digits is not N anymore, an NReaction is performed.

// Add document listener to the text field
this.getDocument().addDocumentListener (new MNDocumentListener ());
}
The NDigitDocument class is responsible for not allowing characters other than digits to be entered, and for not allowing the number of characters to exceed N.
NDigitDocument
static class NDigitDocument extends PlainDocument
{
public void insertString (int offs, String str, AttributeSet a)
throws BadLocationException

for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++)
{
if (!Character.isDigit (str.charAt (i)))
return;
}
super.insertString(offs, str, a);
}
}
The MNDocumentListener class listens to the user's interaction with the textfield, and decides what to do based on the number of characters in the text field.

I created this program and wrote the article in 2005. I got it submitted to Code Project, but at that time Java was not supported on this site. I guess now I got back the opportunity to share it with the community. I hope it would be fun... Enjoy!

Programming Languages Evolution of programming languages We will go through a timeline of programming languages. These languages will include C, Cobol, Java, Basic, Pasqual, and FORTRAN. C and C++
Languages The programming language called C got its start in 1972, the first code written by Dennis Ritchie. The reason this code was developed was to create the operating system called UNIX. Its core purpose was to create fast and efficient code for the computer to run. 1972 Dennis Ritchie in 1999 1970's The C language became very popular and spread quickly throughout the 1970's. C became a popular language for programmers, and the language began to replace once-popular languages such as PL/I and ALGOL. Due to its popularity, companies began making their own languages that were nearly identical to C with only a few differences. This took place in the late 1970's and early 1980's. 1989 To solve the problem of C being copied by others, a committee was formed in 1983. This committee wanted a standard definition of C to be established so blatant copying could cease. In 1989, ANSI established a standard definition of C called ANSI C. Also, in 1983, the C++ Programming language branched off as its own separate language from C. Impact Today When UNIX was rewritten using C, this was a major step forward. Previously, operating systems had only been written using assembly language. In fact, Linux today is written using almost entirely C. Today, C++ is also an important language. It is used in popular products such as Microsoft Office, the Firefox web browser, and the Adobe PDF Reader. Here is a very simple program written in C: #include <prgm.h>
main()
{
puts("a simple C program"); } Java 1991 Java was developed in 1991 by James Gosling and Patrick Naughton. Having originally been developed for enhanced digital television, this idea had to be scrapped due to Java being too advanced for the television industry at the time. Java went through a few name changes; it was originally called Oak, which was later changed to Green. It eventually went by the name Java, from Java coffee. 1995 The first version of Java, Java 1.0, was released by Sun Microsystems in 1995. Java proved to be a dependable, mostly error-free program that provided security; this caused many websites to incorporate Java into themselves. Java promised WORA (Write Once, Run Anywhere), which means that you can write the source code and be able to run the program on any device that has the Java app installed on it. This provided flexibility for users. 1998-1999 Throughout 1998-1999, Java 2 was released to the public. This version of Java had been released with different versions for running on different platforms. J2EE was a version that was aimed towards enterprise applications, whereas J2ME was made for mobile devices. 1997 In 1997, Sun Microsystems began the process of formalizing Java by getting it to be certified by standards, but they backed out of this process not long after they begun. In fact, even though you had to pay to use Java at one time, Sun Microsystems would release code for free. 2006 In 2006, Java's Java 2 extensions were renamed as Java EE, Java ME, and Java SE. In November of 2006, Sun Microsystems released a large amount of Java's code as free and open software. They did this under the GNU (General Public License). This process was finished in 2007, making the entirety of Java's code available. Today Today, Java runs on over 1.1 billion computers; many websites can't even function without Java. In fact, Java was used in the 2004 Mars Rovers. Here is a simple program written in Java: public class HelloWorld {
public static void
main(String[] args) {
System.out.printIn("This is a sample program written in Java.");
} } HTML 1991 In 1991, the first version of HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) was released: HTML 1.0. This version of HTML was a merge of these new HTML tags (such as the <href> tag) and the already existing SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language). Only twenty elements were included in HTML 1.0; thirteen of these elements are still used today. 1994 In 1994, HTML 2.0 was released and became the new standard for HTML. This new standard will last until HTML 3.2 is released. 1996 In 1996, new improvements are made to HTML; also, HTML 3.0 is released. The addition of the use of tables is introduced to better organize web pages. "Client-side Image Maps" are introduced, which allows a user to click on different areas of an image to navigate to different aspects of a web site. 1997 The first CSS W3C recommendation is introduced; the bar is set high and it would be three years before any website could conform to all of its specifications. In 1997, many arguments were had over the different attributes of HTML. HTML 3.2 was approved as the new standard for all HTML. With this standard came the removal of the <marquee> and <blink> attributes that were considered annoying and unprofessional. Also during this time was the abundant use of frames; this was a major mistake in web page construction. 1998 In 1998, HTML 4.1 is released (previously as HTML 4.0 under the codename Cougar). A major introduction is of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets); this makes it easier to customize colors, fonts, and backgrounds of a web page. 2000 In 2000, HTML and XML merged together to form XHTML. This required web pages to rewrite their code due to the non-backward compatibility. Sloppy XML code was allowed due to XML's strict standards that included correct capitalization. 2005 In 2005, Ajax is implemented into HTML used in web pages. Ajax made it easier for web pages to update and request data from cloud based applications such as email and social media. Ajax is an easier way to say: Asynchronous JavaScript+CSS+DOM+XMLHttpRequest 2008 In 2008, HTML 5 is released; this was part of a joint collaboration between Apple, Mozilla, and Opera. In 2009, XML developers have joined to further HTML5 development. HTML5 is not a standard for web pages, and it is not going to be until around 2022. Today Today, HTML is currently evolving and incorporating new attributes to better suit the needs of web site designers. Here is an example of HTML code for a table: <table height="200" width="300">

This led to the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) of the modern day. 1936-1937 Binary was used in the Konrad Zuse Z1 computer.

A downside was that not all browsers run VB Script. 1997 Visual Basic version 5 was introduced in 1997. With this version, operating systems that ran on 16-bit systems were no longer supported by VB.

inheriting from CombinatorialFreeModule
I am trying to write a class that inherits from CombinatorialFreeModule. My problem is correctly inheriting from the element class. I have the following code:
from sage.sets.family import Family from sage.categories.all import GradedAlgebrasWithBasis from sage.combinat.free_module import CombinatorialFreeModule, CombinatorialFreeModuleElement from sage.categories.all import tensor class TestRing(CombinatorialFreeModule): def __init__(self, R, G): super(TestRing, self).__init__(R, G) class TestRingElement(CombinatorialFreeModuleElement): def __init__(self, M, x): super(TestRingElement, self).__init__(M, x) self.data = x
I can create a TestRing object and get its basis elements as follows:
sage: R = TestRing(QQ, ('a','b')) sage: a,b = R.basis()
My problem is that
a and
b have no
data attribute. They are not instances of the
TestRingElement class:
sage: a.d a.db a.dump a.dumps sage: isinstance( a, TestRingElement ) False
I want to be able to add more attributes to the elements of my module. Can someone tell me the correct way to do this?
Incidentally, this code breaks when I call
TestRing with a list as its second argument, instead of a tuple. Though, if I create a list inside the constructor (based on input to the constructor) and use that when I call the parent constructor, everything runs fine. Can anyone tell me why the code breaks in the first instance? Or, why does it work in the second instance?

4. Modules¶
Modules provide a way of organizing QL code by grouping together related modules, types and predicates.
You can import modules into other files, which avoids duplication, and helps structure your code into more manageable pieces.
4.1. Defining a module¶
There are various ways to define modules—here is an example of the simplest way, declaring an
explicit module named
Example containing
a class
OneTwoThree:
module Example { class OneTwoThree extends int { OneTwoThree() { this = 1 or this = 2 or this = 3 } } }
The name of a module can be any identifier that starts with an uppercase or lowercase letter.
.ql or
.qll files also implicitly define modules.
Read more about the different kinds of modules below.
You can also annotate a module. See the list of annotations available for modules.
Note that you can only annotate explicit modules. File modules cannot be annotated.
4.2. Kinds of modules¶
4.2.1. File modules¶
Each query file (extension
.ql) and library file (extension
.qll) implicitly defines
a module. The module has the same name as the file, but any spaces in the file name are replaced
by underscores (
_). The contents of the file form the body of the module.
Library modules¶
A library module is defined by a
.qll file. It can contain any of the
elements listed in Module bodies below, apart from select clauses.
For example, consider the following QL library:
OneTwoThreeLib.qll
class OneTwoThree extends int { OneTwoThree() { this = 1 or this = 2 or this = 3 } }
This file defines a library module named
OneTwoThreeLib. The body of this module
defines the class
OneTwoThree.
Query modules¶
A query module is defined by a
.ql file. It can contain any of the elements listed
in Module bodies below.
The difference is that a query module must have at least one query in its namespace. This is usually a select clause, but can also be a query predicate.
For example:
OneTwoQuery.ql
import OneTwoThreeLib from OneTwoThree ott where ott = 1 or ott = 2 select ott
This file defines a query module named
OneTwoQuery. The body of this module consists of an
import statement and a select clause.
4.2.2. Explicit modules¶
You can also define a module within another module. This is an explicit module definition.
An explicit module is defined with the keyword
module followed by
the module name, and then the module body enclosed in braces. It can contain any
of the elements listed in Module bodies below, apart from select clauses.
For example, you could add the following QL snippet to the library file OneTwoThreeLib.qll defined above:
... module M { class OneTwo extends OneTwoThree { OneTwo() { this = 1 or this = 2 } } }
This defines an explicit module named
M. The body of this module defines
the class
OneTwo.
4.3. Module bodies¶
The body of a module is the code inside the module definition, for example
the class
OneTwo in the explicit module
M.
In general, the body of a module can contain the following constructs:
- Import statements
- Predicates
- Types (including user-defined classes)
- Aliases
- Explicit modules
- Select clauses (only available in a query module)
4.4. Importing modules¶
The main benefit of storing code in a module is that you can reuse it in other modules. To access the contents of an external module, you can import the module using an import statement.
When you import a module this brings all the names in its namespace, apart from private names, into the namespace of the current module.
4.4.1. Import statements¶
Import statements are used for importing modules and are of the form:
import <module_expression1> as <name> import <module_expression2>
Import statements are usually listed at the beginning of the module. Each
import statement imports one module. You can import multiple modules by
including multiple import statements (one for each module you want to import).
An import statement can also be annotated with
private.
You can import a module under a different name using the
as keyword,
for example
import javascript as js.
The
<module_expression> itself can be a module name, a selection, or a qualified
reference. See Name resolution for more details. | https://help.semmle.com/QL/ql-handbook/modules.html | CC-MAIN-2018-51 | refinedweb | 685 | 56.96 |
Reading imperative programs is hard. I don't know if this has always been true or if it's only become true since I started using functional programming more. But I've increasingly found that it takes me a long time to understand what a piece of Python code does, and oftentimes get it wrong.
For example, what does this function do?
def foo(xs): total = 0 count = 0 for x in xs: total += x count += 1 return total / count
That's not so hard -- it compute the average of the collection
xs. But this
function has a problem, which is that for many practical problems you can't
actually use this function as written. For example, if you're averaging over
some large number of rows returned by a SQL query, you can't afford to spend
the memory to store all of those numbers at once, but you can afford the CPU
time to iterate over all of them. So in practice this code actually looks more
like this
# Stuff is happening up here total = 0 count = 0 for row in complicated_query.execute(): data_point = some_function(row) total += data_point count += 1 # Do stuff with total / count
As more and more things get inlined into this procedure, the harder and harder it gets to understand what things are being averaged and possibly even that the average is what's getting returned.
It's tempting to say that Haskell solves this problem.
average :: Fractional a => [a] -> a average = sum xs / fromIntegral (length xs)
Since Haskell lists are lazy, iterating over them can be done without storing the entire list in memory, as the tail of the list hasn't been evaluated yet and the head gets garbage collected once we use it. But, as I learned somewhat recently, this implementation of average leads to space leaks.
Thatt's because while the computations of
sum xs and
length xs can each
individually be done in constant memory, they aren't going to be evaluated
interleaved, and so the entire list sticks around while the first one is being
evaluated, and it can't be garbage collected because the thunk for the second
one still references the head of the whole list.
Thankfully, there are libraries that solve this problem, and it is even given as an example at the top of the documentation for the Foldl package.
import qualified Control.Foldl as L average = (/) <$> L.sum <*> L.genericLength
Actually, I was unfair to the Python code above. The exact same code unchanged will work with generators as well, which will allow it to work in constant memory. However, it still has a problem when we want to compute the average as well as something else, similar to the problem with the naive Haskell code. In Python, generator objects can only really be iterated over once. If you need to do multiple passes you either need to create the whole generator again or store the results.
Imagine your generator is a recursive search for board layouts that match some particular constraints. Running the generator again would be very costly, but storing the list in memory could also be infeasible. The standard solution seems to be to inline all of your accumulation functions into a single loop, but once you do that your code quickly becomes unreadable.
I wrote a quick version of Foldl in Python. It's not as syntactically pretty as the Haskell version, but it gets the job done quite readably.
import operator class Fold(object): def __init__(self, step, start, done): self.step = step self.start = start self.done = done def run(self, iterable): return self.done(reduce(self.step, iterable, self.start)) @classmethod def liftA(cls, func, *folds): steps = [f.step for f in folds] dones = [f.done for f in folds] new_start = tuple(f.start for f in folds) def new_step(acc, x): return tuple(substep(subacc, x) for subacc, substep in zip(acc, steps)) def new_done(acc): results = (subdone(subacc) for subacc, subdone in zip(acc, dones)) return func(*results) return cls(new_step, new_start, new_done) def premap(self, func): return self.__class__(lambda acc, x: self.step(acc, func(x)), self.start, self.done) def postmap(self, func): return self.__class__(self.step, self.start, lambda acc: func(self.done(acc))) identity = lambda x: x maketuple = lambda *args: args sum = Fold(operator.add, 0, identity) length = Fold(lambda acc, x: acc + 1, 0, identity) minimum = Fold(lambda x, y: y if x is None else min(x, y), None, identity) maximum = Fold(lambda x, y: y if x is None else max(x, y), None, identity) head = Fold(lambda x, y: y if x is None else x, None, identity) last = Fold(lambda x, y: y, None, identity) all = Fold(lambda x, y: x and y, True, identity) any = Fold(lambda x, y: x or y, False, identity) average = Fold.liftA(operator.truediv, sum, length) elem = lambda e: any.premap(lambda x: x == e) notElem = lambda e: all.premap(lambda x: x != e) | http://extratricky.com/blog/reading-imperative-programs | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | refinedweb | 836 | 62.48 |
BLE RSSI level
Hello everybody,
I am trying to use the RSSI of the BLE scanning on Wipy to send some message when some threshold is reached. But unfortunately, the reported values during the scan seems to be randomly generated. It goes from -15 to -60 without any update of the emitter location. And there is no significant change in values when the emitter us far away and still detectable.
I thought it was related to the onboard antenna, but with the external antenna plugged, behaviour is still unchanged.
Did you already noticed that ? Is there a way to activate the use of external antenna?
Did i make something wrong or is there a problem with my WiPy chipset?
Thanks
@jmarcelino will you need to activate the external antenna even if you don't use an antenna for bluetooth ? just wondering, because i get horribly unstable rssi values...
You are certainly right. That is the same problem. Actually the returned values are strange, with the same variation pattern. It is like the decoding was wrong, maybe some inversion in some bits or a Little or big endian inversion.
Thanks for your support. I hope it will be corrected soon.

I found a post on the ESP32 forum about the same problem so it seems it's happening at a lower level. Maybe some calibration isn't correct or maybe something due to the recent WiFi coexistence.
When it's fixed by Espressif in the ESP-IDF it should reflect very quickly on MicroPython, the values come directly from there.
OK,
I tried using the Lopy with or without external antenna and the RSSI level provided are too inconsistent and not reliable.
It is a showstopper for what I have planned to use the chipset. I hope it could be solved quickly. Usually BLE chipset are quite good at Signal Strength measurement.
It could anyway be interesting to see if someone have the same poor results when executing the code . Here after is my short test code.
from network import Bluetooth from machine import Timer from network import WLAN chrono = Timer.Chrono() chrono.start(); bluetooth = Bluetooth() print("start") wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA, antenna=WLAN.EXT_ANT) while True: bluetooth.start_scan(-1) # start scanning with no timeout while bluetooth.isscanning(): adv = bluetooth.get_adv() if adv: print(adv)
Hi,
I have made the test. Actually it did not changed anything in the RSSI level accuracy.
I will try using a LoPy instead WiPy and give you some feedback.

@the_ned
Yes, you need to activate the external antenna even for Bluetooth.
It's not very intuitive - or documented! - as you have to do it through the WiFi module (Bluetooth shares the same radio hardware)
Something like this should work
from network import WLAN wlan = WLAN(mode=WLAN.STA, antenna=WLAN.EXT_ANT)
replace WLAN.STA with WLAN.AP if you're not connecting to your own WiFi and want the WiPy to create it's own WiFi network (the default). You can also use the
wlan.antenna(WLAN.EXT_ANT)function.
then use your Bluetooth code as usual. I've not checked the accuracy of the RSSI values yet though. | https://forum.pycom.io/topic/554/ble-rssi-level | CC-MAIN-2022-21 | refinedweb | 580 | 67.55 |
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local $ make $ make install
This guide is aimed at developers who are familiar with using Linux but are less acquainted with typical Linux development tools, and who do not have root access to the box they are working on. It is written with PBC in mind, but should work for most libraries.
This Program Library HOWTO contains a thorough explanation of why libraries are setup the way they are in Linux.
For information on how to use the PBC library, please consult the manual. One of the chapters is a tutorial.
You can skim most of the text and just type in what you see in the examples.
For most libraries, once you have decompressed the source package, type the following to install it to the .local subdirectory of your home directory.
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local $ make $ make install
Occasionally a library does not conform to this standard, in which case you may have to edit a Makefile or similar to tell it where to install. In this case, there ought to be documentation specifying how to do this.
We call the destination directory .local because it functions as the system-wide /usr/local directory (except that it’s for your user account only), and the preceding period prevents it from cluttering directory listings. (Of course, if you prefer to see everything in your directory listings you don’t need the period, and in this case you may even wish to use --prefix=$HOME.)
If everything worked, you should see new files in assorted subdirectories of $HOME/.local with names such as include, lib and bin.
A PBC program foo.c might look like the following.
#include "pbc.h" int main(void) { /* call PBC functions */ return 0; }
Simply typing gcc -o foo foo.c will fail for two reasons.
Firstly, gcc does not know where to find the include file pbc.h. You must explicitly tell gcc where to do this, using the -I option, because gcc normally only searches the standard system-wide include directories.
However, even if this is done correctly, the compilation still fails, this time because the library file (which contains the compiled library routines) has not been mentioned in any way. Not only do you have to mention which library you want to link with using the -l option, you must also tell gcc where to find it because the library is somewhere in your home directory and not in a standard location. This can be done with the -L option.
But even if you did all this, although your program would compile, it would not run. This is because it is dynamically linked (that is, the library routines are not placed in the binary so when run, the program needs to know where to find the library).
There are two ways around this. One is to use the -static option which will put all the required library routines in your binary. Your binary will be a lot bigger, and every time you upgrade your library you have to recompile the binary. On the other hand, it may be faster.
The other way is to embed the location of the library in the binary. This can only be done by the linker, not the compiler, so we use the -Wl option to pass another option on to the linker. The linker option we want is the -rpath option (which is sometimes called the -R option).
Thus to compile foo.c type:
$ gcc -o foo foo.c -I ~/.local/include/pbc -L ~/.local/lib -Wl,-rpath ~/.local/lib -l pbc
Actually, there is another way, but it is considered harmful.
If you add $HOME/.local/lib to the environment variable named LD_LIBRARY_PATH all binaries will now look in that directory for any libraries they need.
I recommend only doing this in special situations. For example, if you moved the library to a different location and want to test a binary without recompiling, or if you forgot to use the rpath option and you want to test the binary without recompiling.
Typing in all these options is an annoyance. You can eliminate the need for the -L and -rpath options with environment variables LDFLAGS or LD_RUN_PATH, but you still have to type the other ones.
One solution to this is to use the make program. You should eventually follow a proper make tutorial, but for now, create a file named Makefile with the following contents.
target: gcc -o foo foo.c -I ~/.local/include/pbc -L ~/.local/lib -Wl,-rpath ~/.local/lib -l pbc
The second line must begin with a tab and not spaces, otherwise it will not work.
Now running make will compile your program.
You may be wondering why there’s a pbc on the end of the -I option but not the -L option. This is PBC’s fault: instead of having a single header file named "pbc.h", there are many other header files that the developer never needs to know about, and to stop them messing up the include directory, all the PBC header files are placed in a separate subdirectory of their own. Other libraries also follow this convention.
It might seem pointless to have an rpath option. Why not have the binary automatically search for the library in the directory specified by the -L option? While this may suit you now, situations where this behaviour is undesirable can easily occur. For example, say you don’t have root access on the system you develop on and the "Foo" library is not installed (so you need the L option), but on the target systems that your binaries end up on, the "Foo" library is always found in a standard location (so you don’t want the rpath option). Or maybe "Foo" is located somewhere special on the target machine, so you want rpath to point to a different directory altogether. | https://crypto.stanford.edu/pbc/howto.html | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | refinedweb | 983 | 62.78 |

The Domain Name System
Use of the Domain Name System has been discussed in previous chapters, without going into detail on the setup of the server providing the service. This chapter describes setting up a simple, small domain with one Domain Name System (DNS) nameserver on a NetBSD system. It includes a brief explanation and overview of the DNS; further information can be obtained from the DNS Resources Directory (DNSRD) at.
DNS Background and Concepts
The DNS is a widely used naming service on the Internet and other TCP/IP networks. The network protocols, data and file formats, and other aspects of the DNS are Internet Standards, specified in a number of RFC documents, and described by a number of other reference and tutorial works. The DNS has a distributed, client-server architecture. There are reference implementations for the server and client, but these are not part of the standard. There are a number of additional implementations available for many platforms.
Naming Services
Naming services are used to provide a mapping between textual names and configuration data of some form. A nameserver maintains this mapping, and clients request the nameserver to resolve a name into its attached data.
The reader should have a good understanding of basic hosts to IP address mapping and IP address class specifications, see Name Service Concepts.
In the case of the DNS, the configuration data bound to a name is in the form of standard Resource Records (RRs). These textual names conform to certain structural conventions.
The DNS namespace
The DNS presents a hierarchical name space, much like a UNIX filesystem, pictured as an inverted tree with the root at the top.
TOP-LEVEL .org | MID-LEVEL .diverge.org ______________________|________________________ | | | BOTTOM-LEVEL strider.diverge.org samwise.diverge.org wormtongue.diverge.org
The system can also be logically divided even further if one wishes at different points. The example shown above shows three nodes on the diverge.org domain, but we could even divide diverge.org into subdomains such as "strider.net1.diverge.org", "samwise.net2.diverge.org" and "wormtongue.net2.diverge.org"; in this case, 2 nodes reside in "net2.diverge.org" and one in "net1.diverge.org".
There are directories of names, some of which may be sub-directories of further names. These directories are sometimes called zones. There is provision for symbolic links, redirecting requests for information on one name to the records bound to another name. Each name recognised by the DNS is called a Domain Name, whether it represents information about a specific host, or a directory of subordinate Domain Names (or both, or something else).
Unlike most filesystem naming schemes, however, Domain Names are written with the innermost name on the left, and progressively higher-level domains to the right, all the way up to the root directory if necessary. The separator used when writing Domain Names is a period, ".".
Like filesystem pathnames, Domain Names can be written in an absolute or
relative manner, though there are some differences in detail. For instance,
there is no way to indirectly refer to the parent domain like with the UNIX
..
directory. Many (but not all) resolvers offer a search path facility, so that
partially-specified names can be resolved relative to additional listed
sub-domains other than the client's own domain. Names that are completely
specified all the way to the root are called Fully Qualified Domain Names or
FQDNs. A defining characteristic of an FQDN is that it is written with a
terminating period. The same name, without the terminating period, may be
considered relative to some other sub-domain. It is rare for this to occur
without malicious intent, but in part because of this possibility, FQDNs are
required as configuration parameters in some circumstances.
On the Internet, there are some established conventions for the names of the first few levels of the tree, at which point the hierarchy reaches the level of an individual organisation. This organisation is responsible for establishing and maintaining conventions further down the tree, within its own domain.
Resource Records
Resource Records for a domain are stored in a standardised format in an ASCII text file, often called a zone file. The following Resource Records are commonly used (a number of others are defined but not often used, or no longer used). In some cases, there may be multiple RR types associated with a name, and even multiple records of the same type.
Common DNS Resource Records
A: Address -- This record contains the numerical IP address associated with the name.
CNAME: Canonical Name -- This record contains the Canonical Name (an FQDN with an associated A record) of the host name to which this record is bound. This record type is used to provide name aliasing, by providing a link to another name with which other appropriate RR's are associated. If a name has a CNAME record bound to it, it is an alias, and no other RR's are permitted to be bound to the same name.
It is common for these records to be used to point to hosts providing a particular service, such as an FTP or HTTP server. If the service must be moved to another host, the alias can be changed, and the same name will reach the new host.
PTR: Pointer -- This record contains a textual name. These records are bound to names built in a special way from numerical IP addresses, and are used to provide a reverse mapping from an IP address to a textual name. This is described in more detail in Reverse Resolution.
NS: Name Server -- This record type is used to delegate a sub-tree of the Domain Name space to another nameserver. The record contains the FQDN of a DNS nameserver with information on the sub-domain, and is bound to the name of the sub-domain. In this manner, the hierarchical structure of the DNS is established. Delegation is described in more detail in Delegation.
MX: Mail eXchange -- This record contains the FQDN for a host that will accept SMTP electronic mail for the named domain, together with a priority value used to select an MX host when relaying mail. It is used to indicate other servers that are willing to receive and spool mail for the domain if the primary MX is unreachable for a time. It is also used to direct email to a central server, if desired, rather than to each and every individual workstation.
HINFO: Host Information -- Contains two strings, intended for use to describe the host hardware and operating system platform. There are defined strings to use for some systems, but their use is not enforced. Some sites, because of security considerations, do not publicise this information.
TXT: Text -- A free-form text field, sometimes used as a comment field, sometimes overlaid with site-specific additional meaning to be interpreted by local conventions.
SOA: Start of Authority -- This record is required to appear for each zone file. It lists the primary nameserver and the email address of the person responsible for the domain, together with default values for a number of fields associated with maintaining consistency across multiple servers and caching of the results of DNS queries.
Delegation
Using NS records, authority for portions of the DNS namespace below a certain point in the tree can be delegated, and further sub-parts below that delegated again. It is at this point that the distinction between a domain and a zone becomes important. Any name in the DNS is called a domain, and the term applies to that name and to any subordinate names below that one in the tree. The boundaries of a zone are narrower, and are defined by delegations. A zone starts with a delegation (or at the root), and encompasses all names in the domain below that point, excluding names below any subsequent delegations.
This distinction is important for implementation - a zone is a single administrative entity (with a single SOA record), and all data for the zone is referred to by a single file, called a zone file. A zone file may contain more than one period-separated level of the namespace tree, if desired, by including periods in the names in that zone file. In order to simplify administration and prevent overly-large zone files, it is quite legal for a DNS server to delegate to itself, splitting the domain into several zones kept on the same server.
Delegation to multiple servers
For redundancy, it is common (and often administratively required) that there be more than one nameserver providing information on a zone. It is also common that at least one of these servers be located at some distance (in terms of network topology) from the others, so that knowledge of that zone does not become unavailable in case of connectivity failure. Each nameserver will be listed in an NS record bound to the name of the zone, stored in the parent zone on the server responsible for the parent domain. In this way, those searching the name hierarchy from the top down can contact any one of the servers to continue narrowing their search. This is occasionally called walking the tree.
There are a number of nameservers on the Internet which are called root nameservers. These servers provide information on the very top levels of the domain namespace tree. These servers are special in that their addresses must be pre-configured into nameservers as a place to start finding other servers. Isolated networks that cannot access these servers may need to provide their own root nameservers.
Secondaries, Caching, and the SOA record
In order to maintain consistency between these servers, one is usually configured as the primary server, and all administrative changes are made on this server. The other servers are configured as secondaries, and transfer the contents of the zone from the primary. This operational model is not required, and if external considerations require it, multiple primaries can be used instead, but consistency must then be maintained by other means. DNS servers that store Resource Records for a zone, whether they be primary or secondary servers, are said to be authoritative for the zone. A DNS server can be authoritative for several zones.
When nameservers receive responses to queries, they can cache the results. This has a significant beneficial impact on the speed of queries, the query load on high-level nameservers, and network utilisation. It is also a major contributor to the memory usage of the nameserver process.
There are a number of parameters that are important to maintaining consistency amongst the secondaries and caches. The values for these parameters for a particular domain zone file are stored in the SOA record. These fields are:
Fields of the SOA Record
Serial -- A serial number for the zone file. This should be incremented any time the data in the domain is changed. When a secondary wants to check if its data is up-to-date, it checks the serial number on the primary's SOA record.
Refresh -- A time, in seconds, specifying how often the secondary should check the serial number on the primary, and start a new transfer if the primary has newer data.
Retry -- If a secondary fails to connect to the primary when the refresh time has elapsed (for example, if the host is down), this value specifies, in seconds, how often the connection should be retried.
Expire -- If the retries fail to reach the primary within this number of seconds, the secondary destroys its copies of the zone data file(s), and stops answering requests for the domain. This stops very old and potentially inaccurate data from remaining in circulation.
TTL -- This field specifies a time, in seconds, that the resource records in this zone should remain valid in the caches of other nameservers. If the data is volatile, this value should be short. TTL is a commonly-used acronym, that stands for "Time To Live".
Name Resolution
DNS clients are configured with the addresses of DNS servers. Usually, these are servers which are authoritative for the domain of which they are a member. All requests for name resolution start with a request to one of these local servers. DNS queries can be of two forms:
A recursive query asks the nameserver to resolve a name completely, and return the result. If the request cannot be satisfied directly, the nameserver looks in its configuration and caches for a server higher up the domain tree which may have more information. In the worst case, this will be a list of pre-configured servers for the root domain. These addresses are returned in a response called a referral. The local nameserver must then send its request to one of these servers.
Normally, this will be an iterative query, which asks the second nameserver to either respond with an authoritative reply, or with the addresses of nameservers (NS records) listed in its tables or caches as authoritative for the relevant zone. The local nameserver then makes iterative queries, walking the tree downwards until an authoritative answer is found (either positive or negative) and returned to the client.
In some configurations, such as when firewalls prevent direct IP communications between DNS clients and external nameservers, or when a site is connected to the rest of the world via a slow link, a nameserver can be configured with information about a forwarder. This is an external nameserver to which the local nameserver should make requests as a client would, asking the external nameserver to perform the full recursive name lookup, and return the result in a single query (which can then be cached), rather than reply with referrals.
Reverse Resolution
The DNS provides resolution from a textual name to a resource record, such as an A record with an IP address. It does not provide a means, other than exhaustive search, to match in the opposite direction; there is no mechanism to ask which name is bound to a particular RR.
For many RR types, this is of no real consequence, however it is often useful to identify by name the host which owns a particular IP address. Rather than complicate the design and implementation of the DNS database engine by providing matching functions in both directions, the DNS utilises the existing mechanisms and creates a special namespace, populated with PTR records, for IP address to name resolution. Resolving in this manner is often called reverse resolution, despite the inaccurate implications of the term.
The manner in which this is achieved is as follows:
A normal domain name is reserved and defined to be for the purpose of mapping IP addresses. The domain name used is
in-addr.arpa.which shows the historical origins of the Internet in the US Government's Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency's funding program.
This domain is then subdivided and delegated according to the structure of IP addresses. IP addresses are often written in decimal dotted quad notation, where each octet of the 4-octet long address is written in decimal, separated by dots. IP address ranges are usually delegated with more and more of the left-most parts of the address in common as the delegation gets smaller. Thus, to allow delegation of the reverse lookup domain to be done easily, this is turned around when used with the hierarchical DNS namespace, which places higher level domains on the right of the name.
Each byte of the IP address is written, as an ASCII text representation of the number expressed in decimal, with the octets in reverse order, separated by dots and appended with the in-addr.arpa. domain name. For example, to determine the hostname of a network device with IP address 11.22.33.44, this algorithm would produce the string
44.33.22.11.in-addr.arpa.which is a legal, structured Domain Name. A normal nameservice query would then be sent to the nameserver asking for a PTR record bound to the generated name.
The PTR record, if found, will contain the FQDN of a host.
One consequence of this is that it is possible for mismatch to occur. Resolving a name into an A record, and then resolving the name built from the address in that A record to a PTR record, may not result in a PTR record which contains the original name. There is no restriction within the DNS that the "reverse" mapping must coincide with the "forward" mapping. This is a useful feature in some circumstances, particularly when it is required that more than one name has an A record bound to it which contains the same IP address.
While there is no such restriction within the DNS, some application server programs or network libraries will reject connections from hosts that do not satisfy the following test:
the state information included with an incoming connection includes the IP address of the source of the request.
a PTR lookup is done to obtain an FQDN of the host making the connection
an A lookup is then done on the returned name, and the connection rejected if the source IP address is not listed amongst the A records that get returned.
This is done as a security precaution, to help detect and prevent malicious sites impersonating other sites by configuring their own PTR records to return the names of hosts belonging to another organisation.
The DNS Files
Now let's look at actually setting up a small DNS enabled network. We will continue to use the examples mentioned in Chapter 24, Setting up TCP/IP on NetBSD in practice, i.e. we assume that:
- Our IP networking is working correctly
- We have IPNAT working correctly
- Currently all hosts use the ISP for DNS
Our Name Server will be the
strider host which also runs IPNAT, and our two
clients use "strider" as a gateway. It is not really relevant as to what type of
interface is on "strider", but for argument's sake we will say a 56k dial up
connection.
So, before going any further, let's look at our
/etc/hosts file on "strider"
before we have made the alterations to use DNS.
Example strider's
/etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 strider 192.168.1.2 samwise sam 192.168.1.3 wormtongue worm
This is not exactly a huge network, but it is worth noting that the same rules apply for larger networks as we discuss in the context of this section.
The other assumption we want to make is that the domain we want to set up is
diverge.org, and that the domain is only known on our internal network, and
not worldwide. Proper registration of the nameserver's IP address as primary
would be needed in addition to a static IP. These are mostly administrative
issues which are left out here.
The NetBSD operating system provides a set of config files for you to use for
setting up DNS. Along with a default
/etc/named.conf, the following files are
stored in the
/etc/namedb directory:
localhost
127
loopback.v6
root.cache
You will see modified versions of these files in this section, and I strongly suggest making a backup copy of the original files for reference purposes.
Note: The examples in this chapter refer to BIND major version 8, however, it
should be noted that format of the name database and other config files are
almost 100% compatible between version. The only difference I noticed was that
the
$TTL information was not required.
/etc/named.conf
The first file we want to look at is
/etc/named.conf. This file is the config
file for bind (hence the catchy name). Setting up system like the one we are
doing is relatively simple. First, here is what mine looks like:
options { directory "/etc/namedb"; allow-transfer { 192.168.1.0/24; }; allow-query { 192.168.1.0/24; }; listen-on port 53 { 192.168.1.1; }; }; zone "localhost" { type master; notify no; file "localhost"; }; zone "127.IN-ADDR.ARPA" { type master; notify no; file "127"; }; zone "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.int" { type master; file "loopback.v6"; }; zone "diverge.org" { type master; notify no; file "diverge.org"; }; zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" { type master; notify no; file "1.168.192"; }; zone "." in { type hint; file "root.cache"; };
Note that in my
named.conf the root (".") section is last, that is because
there is another domain called diverge.org on the internet (I happen to own it)
so I want the resolver to look out on the internet last. This is not normally
the case on most systems.
Another very important thing to remember here is that if you have an internal setup, in other words no live internet connection and/or no need to do root server lookups, comment out the root (".") zone. It may cause lookup problems if a particular client decides it wants to reference a domain on the internet, which our server couldn't resolve itself.
Looks like a pretty big mess, upon closer examination it is revealed that many of the lines in each section are somewhat redundant. So we should only have to explain them a few times.
Lets go through the sections of
named.conf:
options
This section defines some global parameters, most noticeable is the location of
the DNS tables, on this particular system, they will be put in
/etc/namedb as
indicated by the "directory" option.
Following are the rest of the params:
allow-transfer-- This option lists which remote DNS servers acting as secondaries are allowed to do zone transfers, i.e. are allowed to read all DNS data at once. For privacy reasons, this should be restricted to secondary DNS servers only.
allow-query-- This option defines hosts from what network may query this name server at all. Restricting queries only to the local network (192.168.1.0/24) prevents queries arriving on the DNS server's external interface, and prevent possible privacy issues.
listen-on port-- This option defined the port and associated IP addresses this server will run named(8) on. Again, the "external" interface is not listened here, to prevent queries getting received from "outside".
The rest of the
named.conf file consists of
zones. A zone is an area that
can have items to resolve attached, e.g. a domain can have hostnames attached to
resolve into IP addresses, and a reverse-zone can have IP addresses attached
that get resolved back into hostnames. Each zone has a file associated with it,
and a table within that file for resolving that particular zone. As is readily
apparent, their format in
named.conf is strikingly similar, so I will
highlight just one of their records:
zone diverge.org
type-- The type of a zone is usually of type "master" in all cases except for the root zone
.and for zones that a secondary (backup) service is provided - the type obviously is "secondary" in the latter case.
notify-- Do you want to send out notifications to secondaries when your zone changes? Obviously not in this setup, so this is set to "no".
file-- This option sets the filename in our
/etc/namedbdirectory where records about this particular zone may be found. For the "diverge.org" zone, the file
/etc/namedb/diverge.orgis used.
/etc/namedb/localhost
For the most part, the zone files look quite similar, however, each one does
have some unique properties. Here is what the
localhost file looks like:
1|$TTL 3600 2|@ IN SOA strider.diverge.org. root.diverge.org. ( 3| 1 ; Serial 4| 8H ; Refresh 5| 2H ; Retry 6| 1W ; Expire 7| 1D) ; Minimum TTL 8| IN NS localhost. 9|localhost. IN A 127.0.0.1 10| IN AAAA ::1
Line by line:
Line 1: This is the Time To Live for lookups, which defines how long other DNS servers will cache that value before discarding it. This value is generally the same in all the files.
Line 2: This line is generally the same in all zone files except
root.cache. It defines a so-called "Start Of Authority" (SOA) header, which contains some basic information about a zone. Of specific interest on this line are "strider.diverge.org." and "root.diverge.org." (note the trailing dots!). Obviously one is the name of this server and the other is the contact for this DNS server, in most cases root seems a little ambiguous, it is preferred that a regular email account be used for the contact information, with the "@" replaced by a "." (for example, mine would be "jrf.diverge.org.").
Line 3: This line is the serial number identifying the "version" of the zone's data set (file). The serial number should be incremented each time there is a change to the file, the usual format is to either start with a value of "1" and increase it for every change, or use a value of "YYYYMMDDNN" to encode year (YYYY), month (MM), day (DD) and change within one day (NN) in the serial number.
Line 4: This is the refresh rate of the server, in this file it is set to once every 8 hours.
Line 5: The retry rate.
Line 6: Lookup expiry.
Line 7: The minimum Time To Live.
Line 8: This is the Nameserver line, which uses a "NS" resource record to show that "localhost" is the only DNS server handing out data for this zone (which is "@", which indicates the zone name used in the
named.conffile, i.e. "diverge.org") is, well, "localhost".
Line 9: This is the localhost entry, which uses an "A" resource record to indicate that the name "localhost" should be resolved into the IP-address 127.0.0.1 for IPv4 queries (which specifically ask for the "A" record).
Line 10: This line is the IPv6 entry, which returns ::1 when someone asks for an IPv6-address (by specifically asking for the AAAA record) of "localhost.".
/etc/namedb/zone.127.0.0
This is the reverse lookup file (or zone) to resolve the special IP address 127.0.0.1 back to "localhost":
1| $TTL 3600 2| @ IN SOA strider.diverge.org. root.diverge.org. ( 3| 1 ; Serial 4| 8H ; Refresh 5| 2H ; Retry 6| 1W ; Expire 7| 1D) ; Minimum TTL 8| IN NS localhost. 9| 1.0.0 IN PTR localhost.
In this file, all of the lines are the same as the localhost zonefile with
exception of line 9, this is the reverse lookup (PTR) record. The zone used here
is "@" again, which got set to the value given in
named.conf, i.e.
"127.in-addr.arpa". This is a special "domain" which is used to do
reverse-lookup of IP addresses back into hostnames. For it to work, the four
bytes of the IPv4 address are reserved, and the domain "in-addr.arpa" attached,
so to resolve the IP address "127.0.0.1", the PTR record of
"1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" is queried, which is what is defined in that line.
/etc/namedb/diverge.org
This zone file is populated by records for all of our hosts. Here is what it looks like:
1| $TTL 3600 2| @ IN SOA strider.diverge.org. root.diverge.org. ( 3| 1 ; serial 4| 8H ; refresh 5| 2H ; retry 6| 1W ; expire 7| 1D ) ; minimum seconds 8| IN NS strider.diverge.org. 9| IN MX 10 strider.diverge.org. ; primary mail server 10| IN MX 20 samwise.diverge.org. ; secondary mail server 11| strider IN A 192.168.1.1 12| samwise IN A 192.168.1.2 13| www IN CNAME samwise.diverge.org. 14| worm IN A 192.168.1.3
There is a lot of new stuff here, so lets just look over each line that is new here:
Line 9: This line shows our mail exchanger (MX), in this case it is "strider". The number that precedes "strider.diverge.org." is the priority number, the lower the number their higher the priority. The way we are setup here is if "strider" cannot handle the mail, then "samwise" will.
Line 11: CNAME stands for canonical name, or an alias for an existing hostname, which must have an A record. So we have aliased
samwise.diverge.org.
The rest of the records are simply mappings of IP address to a full name (A records).
/etc/namedb/1.168.192
This zone file is the reverse file for all of the host records, to map their IP
numbers we use on our private network back into hostnames. The format is similar
to that of the "localhost" version with the obvious exception being the
addresses are different via the different zone given in the
named.conf file,
i.e. "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" here:
1|$TTL 3600 2|@ IN SOA strider.diverge.org. root.diverge.org. ( 3| 1 ; serial 4| 8H ; refresh 5| 2H ; retry 6| 1W ; expire 7| 1D ) ; minimum seconds 8| IN NS strider.diverge.org. 9|1 IN PTR strider.diverge.org. 10|2 IN PTR samwise.diverge.org. 11|3 IN PTR worm.diverge.org.
/etc/namedb/root.cache
This file contains a list of root name servers for your server to query when it gets requests outside of its own domain that it cannot answer itself. Here are first few lines of a root zone file:
; ; This file holds the information on root name servers needed to ; initialize cache of Internet domain name servers ; (e.g. reference this file in the "cache . <file>" ; configuration file of BIND domain name servers). ; ; This file is made available by InterNIC ; under anonymous FTP as ; file /domain/db ; ...
This file can be obtained from ISC at and usually comes
with a distribution of BIND. A
root.cache file is included in the NetBSD
operating system's "etc" set.
This section has described the most important files and settings for a DNS
server. Please see the BIND documentation in
/usr/src/dist/bind/doc/bog and
named.conf(5)
for more information.
Using DNS
In this section we will look at how to get DNS going and setup "strider" to use its own DNS services.
Setting up named to start automatically is quite simple. In
/etc/rc.conf
simply set
named=yes. Additional options can be specified in
named_flags,
for example, I like to use
-g nogroup -u nobody, so a non-root account runs
the "named" process.
In addition to being able to startup "named" at boot time, it can also be
controlled with the
ndc command. In a nutshell the
ndc command can stop,
start or restart the named server process. It can also do a great many other
things. Before use, it has to be setup to communicate with the "named" process,
see the ndc(8)
and
named.conf(5)
man pages for more details on setting up communication channels between "ndc"
and the "named" process.
Next we want to point "strider" to itself for lookups. We have two simple steps,
first, decide on our resolution order. On a network this small, it is likely
that each host has a copy of the hosts table, so we can get away with using
/etc/hosts first, and then DNS. However, on larger networks it is much easier
to use DNS. Either way, the file where order of name services used for
resolution is determined is
/etc/nsswitch.conf (see
nsswitch.conf. Here is part of a typical
nsswitch.conf:
... group_compat: nis hosts: files dns netgroup: files [notfound=return] nis ...
The line we are interested in is the "hosts" line. "files" means the system uses
the
/etc/hosts file first to determine ip to name translation, and if it can't
find an entry, it will try DNS.
The next file to look at is
/etc/resolv.conf, which is used to configure DNS
lookups ("resolution") on the client side. The format is pretty self explanatory
but we will go over it anyway:
domain diverge.org search diverge.org nameserver 192.168.1.1
In a nutshell this file is telling the resolver that this machine belongs to the "diverge.org" domain, which means that lookups that contain only a hostname without a "." gets this domain appended to build a FQDN. If that lookup doesn't succeed, the domains in the "search" line are tried next. Finally, the "nameserver" line gives the IP addresses of one or more DNS servers that should be used to resolve DNS queries.
To test our nameserver we can use several commands, for example:
# host sam sam.diverge.org has address 192.168.1.2
As can be seen, the domain was appended automatically here, using the value from
/etc/resolv.conf. Here is another example, the output of running
host:
$ host is an alias for. has address 68.142.226.38 has address 68.142.226.39 has address 68.142.226.46 has address 68.142.226.50 has address 68.142.226.51 has address 68.142.226.54 has address 68.142.226.55 has address 68.142.226.32
Other commands for debugging DNS besides
host(1) are
nslookup(8)
and
dig(1). Note
that
ping(8)
is not useful for debugging DNS, as it will use whatever is configured in
/etc/nsswitch.conf to do the name-lookup.
At this point the server is configured properly. The procedure for setting up
the client hosts are easier, you only need to setup
/etc/nsswitch.conf and
/etc/resolv.conf to the same values as on the server.
Setting up a caching only name server
A caching only name server has no local zones; all the queries it receives are
forwarded to the root servers and the replies are accumulated in the local
cache. The next time the query is performed the answer will be faster because
the data is already in the server's cache. Since this type of server doesn't
handle local zones, to resolve the names of the local hosts it will still be
necessary to use the already known
/etc/hosts file.
Since NetBSD supplies defaults for all the files needed by a caching only
server, it only needs to be enabled and started and is immediately ready for
use! To enable named, put
named=yes into
/etc/rc.conf, and tell the system
to use it adding the following line to the
/etc/resolv.conf file:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 127.0.0.1
Now we can start named:
# sh /etc/rc.d/named restart
Testing the server
Now that the server is running we can test it using the nslookup(8) program:
$ nslookup Default server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 >
Let's try to resolve a host name, for example "":
> Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Name: Address: 204.152.190.12
If you repeat the query a second time, the result is slightly different:
> Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: Address: 204.152.190.12
As you've probably noticed, the address is the same, but the message
Non-authoritative answer has appeared. This message indicates that the answer
is not coming from an authoritative server for the domain NetBSD.org but from
the cache of our own server.
The results of this first test confirm that the server is working correctly.
We can also try the host(1) and dig(1) commands, which give the following result.
$ host has address 204.152.190.12 $ $ dig ; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 19409 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 5, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;;, type = A, class = IN ;; ANSWER SECTION:. 23h32m54s IN A 204.152.190.12 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: NetBSD.org. 23h32m54s IN NS uucp-gw-1.pa.dec.com.

As you can see dig(1) gives quite a bit of output, the expected answer can be found in the "ANSWER SECTION". The other data given may be of interest when debugging DNS problems. | https://wiki.netbsd.org/guide/dns/ | CC-MAIN-2019-43 | refinedweb | 6,128 | 63.49 |

The purpose of this exercise is to write the file processing andinitial stage of a hangman game. You will read words in from auser-specified file (hangman.dat) until EOF is reached, store themin a 2-dimensional array called "WordArray" and call a randomnumber generator to randomly choose one word from the WordArray touse for the next game. Fianlly, you will save the "Secret Word"into a filename provided by the user.
Specifications:
Ask the user for the name of the input file, save that name as astring, and "echo" the file name to the screen with an appropriatemessage.
Write a function called read_words that is passed the name ofthe input file. Read_words then reads in the words in the namedfile (up to a maximum of 50) and stores them in a 2-dimensionalarray called WordArray. This array will be passed back to main() asa parameter, along with the total number of words contained in thearray.
Write a function called get_word that takes three parameters: the2-dimensional WordArray (which has been filled with the words fromthe input file); a char array that will hold the word specificallychosen for this game, and the number of words in WordArray. Thisfunction will call a random number generator (see code below) thatwill provide a random number to select a word from WordArray forthe game. The chosen word is passed back to main() to be used toplay the game.
Write a function call get_random that calls the predefine functionrand() to generate a random number within the proper range and usesa return statement to return the random number. This functionshould be passed the number of words in WordArray. You may use thefollowing code to generate random number.
srand(23); //"seeds" the random number generator
return(rand() % num_words);
Requirements for main()
The main() function should print an introduction (perhaps the rulesfor the game of hangman), request the name of the data file, andcall read_words and get_word. It should then print out the totalnumber of words that were in the input file, and the word that wasselected. Finally, it should prompt the user for a filename andsave the chosen word to that file.
Use the preprocessor command #define to define the followingsymbolic global constants
MAX_GUESSES: This will store the maximum number of possible guessesfor someone playing the hangman game. (This will not exceed 26)
MAX_INCORRECT_GUESSES: This will store the maximum number ofpossible guesses for someone playing the hangman game. (This shouldbe 9)
MAX_WORD_LENGTH: This will store the maximum word length for anyhangman game word.
(Make sure it is large enough to cover all words provided in thedata file "Hangman.dat"
MAX_WORDS: This will store the maximum number of words to be readinto WordArray.
(This should not be greater than 50)
Hangman.dat contains following; (be sure that words on each lineremains as below)

Write a C++ program to implement employee directory, whichwill let the organization to perform the following functions:
1) Insert the record of new employee
2) Delete the record of an existing employee
3) Find the record of an existing employee
4) Display Report
Following information of each employee will be stored
Employee ID: an integer value to store the unique id for eachemployee
Employee Name: the name of each employee.
Employee Address: Address of each employee
Employee Salary: afloat value to store salary of each employee.
Hint:
Following information of each employee will be stored
Employee ID: an integer value to store the unique id foreach employee
Employee Name: the name of each employee.
Employee Address: Address of each employee
Employee Salary: afloat value to store salary of each employee.
You can use the following structure to store the informationof a single employee:

In this case, you tell the user that their product is correct, but that they haven’t guessed the correct factors yet. If their product is just plain incorrect, this should be stated as well.) Each incorrect guess without a matching product is assessed 5 penalty points. Each incorrect guess with a matching product is assess 2 penalty points.For option 3, simply report your brother's total score, which is the sum of his scores from each round he plays.Scoring DetailsFor both of the games, the score your brother earns is equal to the total amount of time (in seconds) it took him to finish the problems (including penalty seconds) divided by the number of problems he solved.The score in seconds then must be converted to an integer number of points in between 0 and 10. In particular, the conversion works as shown in the chart below:Time, t, (in seconds) Corresponding Scoret < 1 101 ≤ t < 2 92 ≤ t < 3 83 ≤ t < 4 74 ≤ t < 5 65 ≤ t < 6 56 ≤ t < 7 47 ≤ t < 8 38 ≤ t < 9 29 ≤ t < 10 1t ≥ 10 0Implementation DetailsYou will be required to write three functions with the prototypes given below. (Note: you may write other functions as well, but these three are required.) Your functions should do what the comments for them below specify:// This function gives the user quantity arithmetic// questions, where each operand ranges from 1 to max,// inclusive. The value of operator dictates whether// the problems are addition or multiplication problems.// Namely, if op is 1, they are addition problems,// otherwise, they are multiplication problems.// The function returns the number of seconds the user took// to play the entire game, divided by the number of// problems they solved.double arithGame(int max, int quantity, int op);// This function allows the user to play the factoring game// where 2 randomly generated number lie in between 2// and max, inclusive. The product is displayed to the// user. The user must guess the original two numbers// multiplied to obtain the product. This process continues// until the user gets both numbers. An error message// should be given indicating if the product is correct or// not and if only the values are incorrect.// The value returned is the number of seconds the user// took to finish the game including penalty points divided// by the number of problems.double factorGame(int max, int quantity);// Returns the number of points the user has earned based// on time. In particular, if time is less than 1, 10 is// returned. Otherwise, if it is less than 2, 9 is// returned, etc. If time is greater than or equal to 10,// then 0 is returned.int numPoints(double timesec);Other Useful InformationSeed the random number generator at the beginning of your program. Do this exactly once. Here is the line of code:srand(time(0));In order to use this you need to include stdlib.h and time.h at the top of the program.Please use the following constants for ADD and MULT#define ADD 1#define MULT 2In order to calculate how much time something takes, you can use the time function. In particular, the function call time(0) returns a double that represents the number of seconds after some time. In order to effectively use this, you must call the function twice: once right before you start what you want to time, and once right afterwards. Subtract these two values to obtain the amount of time a segment of code took. Here is a short example:int start = time(0);// Insert code you want to time here.int end = time(0);int timespent = end - start;printf("Your code took %d seconds.\n", timespent);In order to carry out the scoring function, it may be helpful to look at the following functions in the math library:double ceil(double x);double floor(double x);Remember, if you want to convert a double to a corresponding integer, you can use a cast as in the example below, where we assume that value is an integer and seconds is a double:value = (int)seconds;ReferencesTextbook: Chapters 9, 10 Notes: Lectures on loops, functions, randomnumber generator functionsRestrictionsName the file you create anõr x.øi5.

I'm relatively new to the Haskell community, and one thing that's bugged me a bit is that there doesn't seem to be a convention (aside from common sense) for segmenting the module namespace as there is with Java (my other primary language). If you're not familiar with Java's conventions: Each package producer is encouraged to prefix all their released packages with a reversed dns name (more or less, I don't recall the exact term). For example, if Galois were to release a Java OpenGL package, it would be named something like com.galois.graphics.opengl. This makes it fairly easy to differentiate between different implementations of similar things -- or just to reduce namespace collisions. This comes at the expense of typing a bit more, but no one particularly cares in the java community because the IDEs take care of that. Anyway, I'm curious how module namespace collisions/pollution will be handled in Haskell over the next 5-10 years.

Hi.
I want an external to display a text editor, and – when the editor gets closed – behave more or less like coll.
I had a look at the coll source file, in the 4.5.5 SDK, and found there is an “okclose”. I’d love to have more info about it:
- how does the “result” argument behave?
- In the example, the otherwise undocumented advise() function is called (prototyped in ext_proto.h). A quick search in the Max 5.1.7 framework shows two other seemingly related functions: advise_explain() (also in ext_proto.h) and wind_advise() (in ext_wind.h). Which one should I use in a “new style” object? Would advise_explain() (my favorite one, with custom text for the buttons) be ok?
Thank you very much!

Here’s the code which calls it, which should be self explanatory.
Have fun!
-Joshua
sprintf(msg, "Save changes to "%s" before closing?", filename->s_name);
// give our owner a chance to take control
okclose = zgetfn(p->v_owner, gensym("okclose"));

short result = 0; // changed from long to short to fix ppc bug

case 2: /* don't put up a dialog, clear dirty bit */

case 4: /* act as though user "cancelled" */

}
}

FrameWarp - jQuery plugin for displaying pages in a neat overlay
Martin Angelov
While working on an exciting new web app, I found that I needed a way to show certain pages in an overlay window. This comes handy if you want to reuse something like a sharing or a settings page in different screens of your app. Instead of hacking together something that barely got the job done, I decided to take the time, do it properly and share you with you.
Of course, there is the option of using one of the numerous lightbox plugins to do this, but the plugin we will be creating in this tutorial has a lot of advantages over a generic lightbox script:
- Lightweight – it is created specifically for showing pages, not images;
- No UI, so the page feels like a dialog window;
- The page can close itself, and can also send messages to the parent window;
- Can optionally use a cache for faster subsequent page loads;
- Uses a neat CSS animation with a JavaScript fallback.
Great! Now let’s get started.
The Idea
When a link or button is clicked, our plugin, dubbed FrameWarp, will detect the coordinates of that element, and trigger a CSS animation of an expanding polygon moving to the center of the window. The plugin will then load an Iframe pointing to the URL we want to show. If the page is from the same origin as the current site, FrameWarp will also add two useful methods to the iframe – one for hiding it, and another one for sending a message to the parent.
We will be using the jQuery++ collection of tools for jQuery, which converts the library’s animate() method to use CSS3 transitions on browsers that support them. This makes constructing complex CSS animations quite easy.
The Animation
As they say, a fiddle is worth 1000 words. So here is the animation in action (hit the Result tab):
The trick here is that we are animating the border properties of the element and the width, while the height remains 0. The left and right borders are set to transparent in the CSS of the plugin. Alternatively, you could do it with 3D CSS transforms, but it wouldn’t work in older browsers.
The Plugin
Now to write the plugin. We are going to wrap our code in an anonymous function so that it is isolated from the rest of the page. In effect all the variables and helper functions you can see below are private and accessible only to our plugin.
assets/framewarp/framewarp.js
(function($){ // Private varialble deffinitions var body = $('body'), win = $(window), popup, popupBG; var frameCache = {}; var frameCacheDiv = $('<div class="frameCacheDiv">').appendTo('body'); var currentIframe; $.fn.frameWarp = function(settings){ // The main code of the plugin will go here }; // Helper Functions function hide(){ // Here we will remove the popup and dark background from the page } function setUpAPI(iframe, settings){ // In this function, we will make two API methods available to the frame, // if it the page is from the same domain. } function sameOrigin(url){ // Here we will determine whether the page is from the same domain } function getOrigin(url){ // A helper function for generating an origin string // of the type: // This includes the protocol and host. } })(jQuery);
The plugin creates a div with a frameCacheDiv class name. It is going to hold the iframes we are adding to the page. Two more divs are added to the page by the plugin – .popup and .popupBG, which we will discuss in a moment. Now let’s inspect the helper functions.
function hide(){ if(currentIframe){ currentIframe.hide(); currentIframe = null; } popupBG.remove(); popup.remove(); } function setUpAPI(iframe, settings){ if(sameOrigin(settings.url)){ // Exposing a minimal API to the iframe iframe[0].contentWindow.frameWarp = { hide: hide, sendMessage:function(param){ return settings.onMessage(param); } }; } } function sameOrigin(url){ // Compare whether the url belongs to the // local site or is remote return (getOrigin(url) == getOrigin(location.href)); } function getOrigin(url){ // Using an anchor element to // parse the URL var a = document.createElement('a'); a.href = url; return a.protocol+'//'+a.hostname; }
Browsers implement a security feature called “same origin policy” that limits a web site from accessing the DOM of another. For this reason, we have a helper function that compares the URL of the iframe with the address of the current page. Only when both the domain and the protocol match, will the plugin attempt to access the DOM of the iframe and add the API methods for sending messages and hiding.
Now we are ready to write the actual frameWarp plugin!
$.fn.frameWarp = function(settings){ // Supplying default settings settings = $.extend({ cache: true, url: '', width:600, height:500, closeOnBackgroundClick: true, onMessage:function(){}, onShow:function(){} }, settings); this.on('click',function(e){ e.preventDefault(); var elem = $(this), offset = elem.offset(); // The center of the button var buttonCenter = { x: offset.left - win.scrollLeft() + elem.outerWidth()/2, y: offset.top - win.scrollTop() + elem.outerHeight()/2 }; // The center of the window var windowCenter = { x: win.width()/2, y: win.height()/2 }; // If no URL is specified, use the href attribute. // This is useful for progressively enhancing links. if(!settings.url && elem.attr('href')){ settings.url = elem.attr('href'); } // The dark background popupBG = $('<div>',{'class':'popupBG'}).appendTo(body); popupBG.click(function(){ if(settings.closeOnBackgroundClick){ hide(); } }).animate({ // jQuery++ CSS3 animation 'opacity':1 },400); // The popup popup = $('<div>').addClass('popup').css({ width : 0, height : 0, top : buttonCenter.y, left : buttonCenter.x - 35 }); // Append it to the page, and trigger a CSS3 animation popup.appendTo(body).animate({ 'width' : settings.width, 'top' : windowCenter.y - settings.height/2, 'left' : windowCenter.x - settings.width/2, 'border-top-width' : settings.height, 'border-right-width' : 0, 'border-left-width' : 0 },200,function(){ popup.addClass('loading').css({ 'width': settings.width, 'height': settings.height }); var iframe; // If this iframe already exists in the cache if(settings.cache && settings.url in frameCache){ iframe = frameCache[settings.url].show(); } else{ iframe = $('<iframe>',{ 'src' : settings.url, 'css' : { 'width' : settings.width, 'height' : settings.height, } }); // If the cache is enabled, add the frame to it if(settings.cache){ frameCache[settings.url] = iframe; iframe.data('cached',true); settings.onShow(); } else{ // remove non-cached iframes frameCacheDiv.find('iframe').each(function(){ var f = $(this); if(!f.data('cached')){ f.remove(); } }); } iframe.ready(function(){ frameCacheDiv.append(iframe); setUpAPI(iframe, settings); settings.onShow(); }); } currentIframe = iframe; }); }); return this; };
As I mentioned in the opening section, we are using jQuery++ to enhance jQuery’s animate() function to support CSS3 animations. This way we don’t have to write tons of CSS, and we also achieve full backwards compatibility, as the new animate() method will fall back to the old if the browser has not support for CSS animations.
Once the first animation is complete, we add the loading class to the .popup div. The new class adds an animated preloader gif to the popup and a soft box-shadow, as you can see by inspecting assets/framewarp/framewarp.css.
Using the plugin
To use the plugin, include assets/framewarp/framewarp.css to the head of your page, and assets/framewarp/framewarp.js after your copy of the jQuery library.
After this, all that is left is to initialize the plugin. As an example, here is the code that drives our demo page:
assets/js/script.s
$(function(){ // If no url property is passed, the // href attribute will be used $('#b1').frameWarp(); $('#b2').frameWarp({ onMessage: function(msg){ $('#messages').append('Message Received: '+ msg+' '); } }); // Cache is enabled by default $('#b3').frameWarp({ url : '' }); // Disable caching $('#b4').frameWarp({ url : '', cache:false }); });
Done!
With this the plugin is complete! You can use it to enhance your web app and reuse certain parts of it without writing extra code. I would love to hear your suggestions or thoughts in the comment section below.

Exactly what i was looking for!
Thank you!
Happy to help!
I am having problems getting the popup box to close when I click the 'Close window' button - even in the files you provided.
Any idea how I can ensure it closes? It closes if I click outside of the pop up but not the button.
Does it throw any errors in the console?
I have the same problem. Chrome js console throws "Uncaught ReferenceError: framewarp is not defined" error.
OMG i have the same problem! the demo on this website is working fine with the close button, but after I download it, the close button stopped working...
I know this sounds tacky, but I need this exactly but on page load and on click to go away.
Where could I add this code? At the top of the plug in or inside the hide function?
You can do it like this:
After you initialize the plugin, say on the #b1 element, trigger a click on it with
$('#b1').click(). This will show up the window immediately on page load.
In the page itself, say frame.html, add this code:
$('body').click(function(){ framewarp.hide() });which will hide the popup when you click anywhere on the page.
Wait as I am not so agile with jQuery (yet :D).
You are saying I should initialize the actual element to load as in $('#b1').click... how can it show immediately on page load? Can't it be $('#b1').frameWarp (on load)?. The snippet you give me is waiting for a click (#b1) for it to load.
Well, the trigger makes the click for you, just need to make this code run when the page is load (ej. put it just before the closing 'body' tag and after the jquery):
// This trigger a click, the same as $("#h1").trigger("click")
$("#h1").click();
// Now listen when you make click in anywhere within the 'body'
// and hides the frameWarp that is show in the lines above.
$("body").click(function(){
framewarp.hide();
});
Simple as pie! =)
Good luck...
$('#b1').click() Will simulate the click. It's not waiting for it.
Thanks mate. I didn't see that the options are set in the plug in regarding width/height and I needed the damn thing responsive :(
Now This is what i was looking for a long time. I think showing a demo to a user is going to be awesome. Once again Thanks Martin!!!
Thank you so much! This tutorial is awesome!
And does it have cross domain when i close an iframe?
Srr bout my english.
Cool effects,Martin! My idea is to not close the popup automatically when the mouse button is clicked outside of the popup, but rather have an image at the top right hand corner of the popup and include the exit function on it's click event handler. I guess this could make a good topic of experimentation on a nice warm Sunday.
One thing that was making me crazy was that I cannot close the iFrame on example1 from the blue button on IE.
After some tries, I could only solve it by using this code:
«
<a href="#" class="button2" id="close" onclick="$('.popupBG',parent.document).trigger('click');">Close Window</a>
»
and putting jQuery on page.
Now it worked for IE and the other browsers.
Great work man!!
But i have a a question.. is it possible to implement your code on "jQuery 1.4.2" ?
i'm getting - " Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method 'on' "
in your framewarp.js file when switching to an older version then jQuery 1.7.1.
I know it's something to do with the - onclick function but i'm lost here :(
is there a solution for that? any help will be more then appreciated...
The "on" and "off" methods were introduced in jQuery 1.7. You can replace them with bind/unbind for it to work with jQuery 1.4.
Thanks for this useful plugin. Lightweight and tiny. Best regards.
I love this plugin but I'm having one issue. I have multiple links on the same page that open the frame with the same link but different parameters. After the first link is clicked and then closed, any links opened after that open the first link clicked instead.
Is there any way to clear frame after it is closed?
You can pass the cache:false parameter when initializing the plugin. This will reload the iframe every time.
I'm using b4 which uses cache:false however I still get the same results.
Also set
settings = $.extend({
cache: false,
in framewarp.js. Still no luck.
I found the problem but still not sure how to fix it. In script.js I changed:
$('#b4').frameWarp({
to
$('.b4').frameWarp({
so that I could use multiple links in class="" because IDs need to be unique. This seems to be causing all links to show up as the first one clicked.
Is there a way I can manipulate this to get it to work on multiple links?
Found it!!
When you delete the if-condition in the framewarp.js:
if(!settings.url && elem.attr('href')){
settings.url = elem.attr('href');
}
it will not save the last url.
And i changed in the hide-function down at the document:
currentIframe.hide();
to: currentIframe.remove();
So the frame is really closed. Had the Problem, that after hide you still could here the videostuff i had in the link.
Sorry for my bad english...
Thanks for your tutorial, it's useful.
This isn't working in IE9.
The window won't close using the close button, and messages are never sent.
It works fine in FF.
This plugin works great! However, is there a way to make it close the popup window by clicking on the window itself instead of the background?
Hi Martin, this plugin works great, but long page with scrollbar (e.g. CNN page) within the frame cannot be scrolled down on iOS device such as iPad. Is there any solution?
Wow now that is nice. Thanks Martin, it will come in very handy :)
Awesum Man ... Love it ... Will be using with wp-subscribe plugin of wordpress.
Thanks for the script man, its awesome!!
But I'm get stucked with a thing...
Always work's fine... until I reload the frame.
After frame reload (like a form action="#" on it) the buttons doesnt work anymore for hide the frame or sendmessage to caller.
how can it still works after a frame reload?
another thing:
after frame hide, the back page scrool down a bit.... why??
thanks a lot!!
(sorry about my poor english)
Best regards,
Júnior (from Brazil)
in fact, after frame reload, it works exactly like I was comment the line setUpAPI(iframe, settings); on framewarp.js:
iframe.ready(function(){
frameCacheDiv.append(iframe);
//setUpAPI(iframe, settings);
settings.onShow();
});
How can I solve this "problem" ???
What's the jquerypp for in the assets/js folder?
Is there a way to stop the background from scrolling when the popup is active?
Hi Martin Angelov, I use FrameWarp to popup a overly page, there is a button in the page which makes ajax get call, like below
/$.get("ModalAddEmail.aspx?email=" + email, AddEmailCallback);
However, when the js code hit this ajax get, the popup window just expand to take the whole screen, any idea?
Hi,
The plugin is great for all browsers but IE.
Well, actually the close button problem I solved with help from Rui Figueiredo comment.
But in IE I can't make the border dissapear, this annoyis me mostly.
Also I have another problem, if I load a second page in the same popup, I can't close it. I tryed onclick="$('.popupBG',parent.parent.document).trigger('click')" but this doesn't seem to cut it. However I am not good at programming as I am a designer, so I am using common sense, not knowlegde when I change the code. :)
Soooo yeah, any help would be greately appreciated!
Great plugin that I am using extensively. There is one problem however - whenever I load another page in the frame, frameWarp.sendMessage() calls are no more available. Any chance to maintain this function?
Hi,
I had the problem, that in IE9 the the sendMessage method did not work. To solve the issue I found a small workaround:
I added a method "takeOver(msg)" in the calling website (the website where the iframe is attached). If the frameWarp.sendMessage fails with an exception, I call this method via window.parent.takeOver(...)
Afterwards I hide the iFrame with the hack Rui Figueiredo already posted...
This is fantastic, Martin!
Just what I was looking for.
- Is it possible to get rid of the scroll bars in the iframe?
Unfortunately, I couldn't firgure out how to get this into the script...
Thank you.
Appreciate your work, but unfortunately can't use it.
>> Close button doesn't work.
>> On smartphone the overlay is just nuts.
Great would have been if it just opens in a new window on mobile. But the way it's now, can't be used. Sad and unfortunately my Java Script skills are not good enough to implement it myself. | http://tutorialzine.com/2012/07/framewarp-jquery-plugin/ | CC-MAIN-2016-30 | refinedweb | 2,839 | 67.86 |

, my Dynamics CRM environment has an entity called Contact which represents a person that the CRM system has interacted with. The Contact entity has fields to hold basic demographics and the like. For this demonstration, the Address Type is set to an option set (e.g. Home, Work, Hospital, Temporary). Notice that an option set entry has both a name and value. FYI, custom option set entries apparently use a large prefix number which is why my value for “Home” is 929,280,003.
The State is a lookup to another entity which holds details about a particular US state. This could have been an option set as well, but in this case, it’s an entity.
With that information out of the way, we can now jump into our integration solution. Within a BizTalk Server 2010 project, I’ve added a Generated Item which consumed the Organization SOAP service exposed by Dynamics CRM 2011. This brought in a host of things of which I deleted virtually all of them. The CRM 2011 SDK has an "Integration” folder which has valid schemas that BizTalk can use. The schemas generated by the service reference are useless. So why add the service reference at all? I like getting the binding file that we can later use to generate the BizTalk send port that communicates with Dynamics CRM 2011.
Next up, I created a new XSD schema which represented the customer record coming into BizTalk Server. This is a simple message that has some basic demographic details. One key thing to notice is that both the AddressType and State elements are XSD records (of simple type, so they can hold text) with attributes. The attribute values will hold the identifiers that Dynamics CRM needs to create the record for the contact.
Now comes the meat of the solution: the map. I am NOT using an orchestration in this example. You certainly could, and in real life, you might want to. In this case, I have a messaging only solution. The first thing that my map does is connect each of the source nodes to a Looping functoid which in turn connects to the repeating node (KeyValuePairOfstringanyType) in the destination Create schema. This ensures that we create one of these destination nodes for each source node.
On the next map page, I’m using Scripting functoids to properly define the key/value pairs underneath the KeyValuePairOfstringanyType node. For instance, the source node named First under the Name record maps to a Scripting functoid that has the following Inline XSLT Call Template set:
<xsl:template <xsl:param <key xmlns=""> firstname</key> <value xmlns="" xmlns: <xsl:attribute <xsl:value-of </xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of </value> </xsl:template>
Notice there that I am “typing” the value node to be a xs:string. This is the same script used for the Middle, Last, Street1, City, and Zip nodes. They are all simple string values. As you may recall, the AddressType is an option set. If I simply pass its value as a xs:string, nothing actually gets added on the record. If I try and send in a node on the FormattedValues node (which when querying, pulls back friendly names of option set values), nothing happens. From what I can tell, the only way to set the value of an option set field is to send in the value associated with the option set entry.
In this case, I connect the TypeId node to the Scripting functoid and have the following Inline XSLT Call Template set:
<xsl:template <xsl:param <key xmlns=""> address2_addresstypecode</key> <value xmlns="" xmlns: <xsl:attribute <xsl:value-of </xsl:attribute> <Value xmlns=""> <xsl:value-of </Value> </value> </xsl:template>
A few things to point out. First, notice that the “type” of my value node is an OptionSetValue. Also see that this value node contains ANOTHER Value node (notice capitalization difference) which holds the numerical value associated with the option set entry.
The last node to map is the StateId from the source schema through a Scripting functoid with the following Inline XSLT Call Template:
<xsl:template <xsl:param <key xmlns=""> address2stateorprovinceid</key> <value xmlns="" xmlns: <xsl:attribute <xsl:value-of </xsl:attribute> <Id xmlns="" xmlns: <xsl:attribute <xsl:value-of <xsl:value-of </xsl:attribute> </Id> <LogicalName xmlns=""> custom_stateorprovince</LogicalName> <Name xmlns="" /> </value> </xsl:template>
So what did we just do? We once again have a value node with a lot of stuff jammed in there. Our “type” is EntityReference and has three elements underneath it: Id, LogicalName, Name. It seems that only the first two are required. The Id (which is of type guid) accepts the record identifier for the referenced entity, and the LogicalName is the friendly name of the entity. Note that in real life, you would probably want to use an orchestration to first query Dynamics CRM to get the record identifier for the referenced entity, and THEN call the “create” service. Here, I’ve assumed that I know the record identifier ahead of time.
This second page of my map now looks like this:
We’re now ready to deploy. After deploying the solution, I imported the generated binding file that in turn, created my send port. Because I am doing a messaging only solution and I don’t want to build a pipeline component which sets the SOAP operation to apply, I stripped out all the “actions” in the SOAP action section of the WCF-Custom adapter.
After creating a receive location that is bound to this send port (and another send port which listens to responses from the WCF-Custom send port and sends the CRM acknowledgements to the file system), I created an valid XML instance file. Notice that I have both the option set ID and referenced entity ID in this message.
After sending this message in, I’m able to see the new record in Dynamics CRM 2011.
Neato! Notice that the Address Type and State or Province values have data in them.
Overall, I wish this were a bit simpler. Even if you use the CRM SDK and build a proxy web service, you still have to pass in the entity reference GUID values and option set numerical values. So, consider strategies for either caching slow-changing values, or doing lookups against the CRM services to get the underlying GUIDs/numbers.
Special thanks to blog reader David Sporer for some info that helped me complete this post.

I used the example adapted to my map and it worked correctly, but for a really particular map i’m using namespaces, so the key tag must to be in the form:
when i added the ns1:, have a problem building the project, the system throws the next error:
Exception Caught: ‘ns1’ is an undeclared prefix. Line 124, position 4.
how can i fix this error?
Hi,
The lookcode in this Post doesnot work. I have added a new one on my blog. Hope it helps you.
There could be a typo error for the look up example here. the param1 node should be outside of “attribute name=xsi:type” node, to be exact immediately after. so you will have attribute attribute -> ser:guid ->/attribute -> param1. that is what Ing Omar Salas tried to say in the first comment there.
can we perform composite operations on crm entities when using typed proxy? kinna like we do it with SQL adapter… If ues, then
Ricky, this blog posts shows off some SQL query elements that aren’t exposed (). I don’t think you can do composite operations, but I honestly haven’t tried it.
Please refer to following link in which I am trying to retrive contact information by using a Retrive schema. But I am not able to do that.
What an invaluable resource. Thanks! My question is what other native types can i pass, apart from string. And what is where do i find the XML syntax expected – I need to pass DB types int, datetime and money | https://seroter.wordpress.com/2011/05/20/creating-complex-records-in-dynamics-crm-2011-from-biztalk-server-2010/ | CC-MAIN-2015-48 | refinedweb | 1,400 | 61.36 |
Suppose that every time you copied a bitmap file, its image was made available on the clipboard. Currently, Windows does not support this functionality. But with a data handler (see Chapter 8) you could easily add this feature yourself. Maybe you would like to navigate into an Access database as if it were just another directory in the filesystem. You could do it with the proper namespace extension (see Chapter 12). Or you might like to automatically process information on a web page (say, your online brokerage account) every time you navigated to the URL. A browser helper object is the answer (see Chapter 13).
These are just a few examples of the many things you can accomplish by programming the shell. But all of these examples, and all shell components in general, share one common attribute: they integrate fully with Explorer. This gives the impression that they are actually a part of the shell itself, and technically, they are. Why is this important? Chances are, the application that is used the most by Windows users world-wide is Explorer.exe . It is probably familiar to more people than any other application. This means that, by integrating your application with the shell, you automatically make at least a portion of your application's functionality conveniently and easily available to anyone who is accustomed to working with the shell. An excellent example is the popular WinZip program developed by Niko Mak Computing, Inc: the two most common processes of archive managementadding and extracting files from a .zip filecan be accomplished from the shell without directly opening the WinZip program itself.
This shell integration in turn offers a number of advantages:
Because users of your application can work with an interface that's consistent with that of Windows as a whole, they will find your application easier to learn and use. As a result, users will be happy with, rather than frustrated by, your application.
How many times have you used a "Windows" application that just didn't seem to be written for Windows? Perhaps it had its own printer drivers. Maybe it deleted files outright rather than moving them to the Recycle Bin. Or possibly its windows just looked funny . In any case, applications that fall into this category for whatever reason are typically perceived as inelegant and amateurish. By integrating your application with the shell, there are fewer surprises for the user , and your application succeeds in conveying your professionalism as a programmer.
As we'll see shortly, the Windows shell is one central area of Windows programming that is very poorly documented. Shell programming also relies heavily on COM, which is cloaked in obscurity for many VB (and even C++) programmers. Hence, when you're programming the Windows shell, you're working on the cutting edge in two areas. For those to whom programming is a passion as well as a profession, shell programmingand the knowledge gained from itis extremely rewarding .
Clearly there are advantages to developing shell extensions and integrating your applications with Windows Explorer. There are also challenges. Traditionally, developing shell extensions has been seen as a topic for experienced C and C++ programmers only; very few programmers are aware that you can create shell extensions using Visual Basic.
In addition to the fact that few programmers know that VB can be used to create shell extensions, the state of the documentation on programming the Windows shell is perhaps worse than in any other area. Possibly Microsoft felt that, despite the centrality of the Windows shell in the Windows operating system, programming the shell was too complex and too specialized for most programmers. Hence, even for C/C++ programmers, figuring out how to create a particular kind of shell extension and getting it to work is no easy matter.
But we'll surmount the first of these obstaclesthe mistaken belief that VB cannot be used for shell programmingby showing you how to develop shell extensions. We'll also help you to surmount the second obstacle by providing the basic documentation on the shell and its COM interfaces that you can use when building your own shell extensions. | https://flylib.com/books/en/1.107.1.18/1/ | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | refinedweb | 690 | 52.29 |

Hi?
One thing to consider is that Community Edition has a restriction on how many additional namespaces and databases you can have (and that's exactly zero). So while it may be nice to be able to have 3rd party tool in it's own database, it would also be nice to be able to use it from within USER and %SYS.?
- Adding a namespace for each tool package will lengthen namespace lists in Studio, Portal etc. Maybe tools don't always need a namespace in front of their database. Ones that present a web app / REST interface probably do (at the moment) because of how the app config has to point to a namespace.
- Tools should be able to register stuff that needs to be run during environment startup and shutdown. The current need to create/edit %ZSTART / %ZSTOP routines is clunky.
Hi Sergey! Do not take Community Edition limits into consideration.
If you don't have limits what is the best strategy with packages/tools development in your opinion?
Hi John! Thanks for the input. Why do you think we need a prefix for globals? The matter to have a dedicated namespace/database for the tool frees us from this requirement, right?
Agree, this is valuable. If we'll see thousands of modules. If we have a public package manager this will solve it I guess. But maybe "package name=repo name" rule could be a solver.
I guess we have it in docs, but this number is large. Thousands I hope.
One of the options when tools could safely share one namespace when it has the same publisher. We often can imagine one company/developer who produces several tools which probably can be installed into one namespace/database.
If tool XYZ is installed in namespace+database XYZ and consists of classes in the XYZ package that's %ALL-mapped from XYZ, default storage for persistent classes in that package will use globals ^XYZ.* which will get stored in the default data database of whichever namespace the tool is used in (e.g. USER). These globals mustn't clash with globals created in the same place by a tool from a different supplier, or by the end-user's own apps.
If tool XYZ opts to consolidate user's data into the XYZ database, the natural way of doing this is with package mapping, in which case it's still necessary to avoid name collisions. There are ways the XYZ tool could use extended global references to route data into its private database, but this adds complexity.
In that case I think it would be nice to have several ways to distribute a project:
Right. And this is the reason why the tool with XYZ.Classes should be installed in XYZ namespace - in this way even if I map XYZ to %All all the data persistent data for XYZ.Classes will be stored in XYZ namespace, even if I use it from USER namespace, right?
This is only true if you explicitly add a global mapping of ^XYZ.* to the XYZ database (NB, mappings point to databases, not to namespaces). If you only mapped the XYZ package to XYZ, when an instance of persistent class of that package is saved from within the USER namespaces its data will get stored in the USER database.
Yes, you are right.
I guess it is fair for the cases when the tool spawns jobs and does some work as daemons - like services, monitoring, alerting, etc. In this case data stays with XYZ database.
But I agree that we need a public registry of "safe" Class/Global prefixes and names.
We can take some easy and obvious approaches: Github or DNS.
E.g. with the Gihub approach the package name can start with a company.reponame.
Thoughts?
This limit on Comunity Edition will be expanded with the next update.

Tags: splay font tostring OSI span GPO MDA double Original
When a double is used for business operations, the double calculation loses precision. You can use BigDecimal for calculations.[Java]View PlainCopyPrint?
Import Java.math.bigdecimal;import Org.junit.test;public class testbigdecimal{ @Test public void Test () { double a=0.1; Double b=0.2; System.out.println (a+b); BigDecimal a1=new BigDecimal ("0.1"); BigDecimal b1=new BigDecimal ("0.2"); System.out.println (A1+B1);//Do not write System.out.println (A1.add (B1));//correct BigDecimal c1=new BigDecimal (" 0.23574 "); A1=a1.add (C1); A1=a1.setscale (1,bigdecimal.round_down); SYSTEM.OUT.PRINTLN (A1); }}
0.30000000000000004
0.3
0.3
The addition and subtraction of double cannot accurately calculate 0.3, while using BigDecimal can.
Of course, if you directly pass double to BigDecimal, you will find that not only can not solve the accuracy problem, but the accuracy of the completion. So, to ensure accuracy, we pass the string to it.
The Bigdecimal.setscale () method is used to format the decimal point
. scale () precision value, that is, the number of digits after the decimal point (note: BigDecimal can improve accuracy by setscale, as long as the new value is larger than the original!)
BigDecimal can also be setscale to reduce accuracy. Because the new value is smaller than the original, so you must ensure that the original value of the bit after the decimal point is 0, only in this way can be set than the original small precision.
Example: The original value is: 4.1235648, want to set the scale to less than 7 will be wrong, if the original value is: 4.1235000, the scale is set to less than 4 bits will be wrong, and set to 4, 5, 6, 7 are no problem, set a larger, certainly will not be wrong)
Add (BigDecimal) BigDecimal the value in the object, and then returns the object.
Subtract (BigDecimal) subtracts the value from the BigDecimal object and returns the object.
Multiply (BigDecimal) multiplies the values in the BigDecimal object and returns the object.
Divide (BigDecimal) divides the values in the BigDecimal object, and then returns the object.
BigDecimal Divide (BigDecimal divisor, int scale, int roundingmode)
Example:BigDecimal mdata = new BigDecimal ("9.655"). Setscale (2, bigdecimal.round_half_up);
----Results:-----mdata=9.66
ToString () Converts the numeric value of the BigDecimal object to a string.
Doublevalue () returns the value in the BigDecimal object as a double-precision number.
Floatvalue () returns the value in the BigDecimal object as a single-precision number.
Longvalue () returns the value in the BigDecimal object as a long integer.
Intvalue () returns the value in the BigDecimal object as an integer.

It might also be worth noting that integrating over the entire real line is special-cased by integrate_numerical, so we get:
RR(g.integrate(x, -Infinity, Infinity)) 12.6178509639583
This is a little low, Mathematica gives 12.6195 but its hard to improve the precision. This is an intrinsically hard sort of problem to automate (but we can clearly improve the current behavior).
comment:3 Changed 10 years ago by
The reason this is *broken* is because the implementation of the method _evalf_ in sage/symbolic/integration/integral.py in DefiniteIntegral? completely ignores the parent and the precision of a and b. This function has to be rewritten to take into account the precision of the inputs:
def _evalf_(self, f, x, a, b, parent=None): from sage.gsl.integration import numerical_integral return numerical_integral(f, a, b)[0]
comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by
My personal opinion is that it should work like this:
sage: RR(g.integrate(x, -10^15, 10^15)) error message: you have to specify some params to numerical_integral when constructing the definite integral sage: RR(g.integrate(x, -10^15, 10^15, max_points=10^5)) correct answer
Or maybe not. I hate this.
comment:5 Changed 10 years ago by
Mike Hansen: One option -- just rewrite _evalf_ to call mpmath, which is not perfect, but way better than GSL.
comment:6 Changed 10 years ago by
Be sure to use fast_callable:
sage: f(x) = cos(x)^10 - exp(x*sin(cos(x))) sage: g = fast_callable(f, RealField(200), [x]) sage: timeit('f(10.0)') ^C625 loops, best of 3: 1.25 ms per loop sage: a = RealField(200)(10) sage: f(a) 0.17239044387825963285967105367392659309547067375921972300438 sage: g(a) 0.17239044387825963285967105367392659309547067375921972300438 sage: timeit('f(a)') 625 loops, best of 3: 1.38 ms per loop sage: timeit('g(a)') 625 loops, best of 3: 40.7 µs per loop sage: 1380/40.7 33.9066339066339

comment:8 Changed 10 years ago by
Your timings with fast_callable seem misleading to me since you are not including the overhead of constructing the fast callable. I got:
sage: f(x) = cos(x)^10 - exp(x*sin(cos(x))) sage: g = fast_callable(f, RealField(200), [x]) sage: def gmaker(afunc): return fast_callable(afunc, RealField(200), [x]) sage: timeit('f(a)') 125 loops, best of 3: 1.46 ms per loop sage: timeit('g(a)') 625 loops, best of 3: 65.2 µs per loop sage: timeit('gmaker(f)(a)') 125 loops, best of 3: 1.55 ms per loop
comment:9 Changed 10 years ago by
Not entirely misleading though, if you call the fast_callable many many times, as would seem to be the case here.

Getting this right will be tricky. While simply changing from a blind application of gsl's numerical_integral() to mpmath's quad() may be often be an improvement, in this situation it makes things worse:
sage: f = abs(x^2-1)^(-2/3) sage: g = fast_callable(f, RealField(100), [x]) sage: import mpmath as mp sage: mp.mp.prec = 100 sage: for i in [mp.quad(g, [-10^i, 10^1]) for i in range(15)]: ....: print i ....: +inf 8.8396932208278888892057527426 8.3969760821447628003659891605 9.7953936385023669571121865442 9.2339519516756815076612878988 8.2441701346282922281629165563 8.044969834509411578891250552 11.635099287297832304011545535 11.084646393563409097851890886 7.5468622876138167706495612921 7.0790386862087011969090472793 8.4443867135724817987750671703 10.690050592136777734927819129 32.336415464969432639295368434 10.533897172238729354640752465 sage: mp.quad(g, [mp.mpf('-inf'),mp.mpf('+inf')]) mpf('+inf')
Switching from tanh-sinh quadrature to Gauss-Legendre gives

Hand-tuning with Gauss-Legendre:
sage: mp.quadgl(g, [mp.mpf('-inf'),-1,1,mp.mpf('+inf')]) mpf('12.350413467045610425723223632513') sage: mp.quadgl(g, [mp.mpf('-inf'),-1,1,mp.mpf('+inf')], maxdegree=12) mpf('12.592883474959440301710672862944')
And with tanh-sinh:
sage: mp.quad(g, [mp.mpf('-inf'),-1,1,mp.mpf('+inf')]) mpf('+inf') sage: mp.quad(g, [mp.mpf('-inf'),-1,1,mp.mpf('+inf')], maxdegree=12) mpf('+inf')
It seems this integral requires at least some hand tuning to be reasonable.

There's probably a whole class of functions -- positive functions with a singularities at a finite number of points that go to zero sufficiently fast at plus/minus infinity maybe -- which exhibit this sort of breakage.

Just for the record, if given enough precision and the singularity locations, mpmath does okay in tanh-sinh on the infinite range:

and plotting it shows a very plausible logarithmic decrease in the size of the change (can't really call it an error..) You have to give it way more digits of precision than it actually gets right, but it's possible that it converged in the end.

Seems like there might be two issues here. One is that the default for integrate_numerical (which is what I think gets called here after symbolic integration fails) only uses a maximum of 87 sample points. This parameter can be set by using integrate_numerical directly but I don't think it can be through integrate.
The second possible issue is that it seems that integrate_numerical tries to create a fast version of the function, but this is not done in an accurate way. I believe this code was written prior to fast_callable, which seems to help: | https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/10550 | CC-MAIN-2021-17 | refinedweb | 1,363 | 66.03 |
Stop using AutoMapper in your Data Access Code
A few months ago, Jimmy Bogard, author of the excellent AutoMapper wrote a great article about Autoprojecting LINQ queries. Now that Jimmy has done all the hard expression tree work, this article extends his example to include caching and simple flattening capabilities and goes on to show it in use in a simple EF 4.1 Code First application.
*** UPDATE: AutoMapper has now been updated to include Queryable Extensions. You can read this article to find out why you should not be using Mapper.Map in your data access code. Then head over to the docs for information on using ProjectTo<> ***
Background
So what is this article all about? It is all about writing less boilerplate code in your data access layer and also reducing the amount of data being transferred from your database. Let's take an example so we can get some context about what this article covers:
Imagine that you have a Student table in your database with a million rows and 100 columns storing every piece of information you could imagine about each student. If you want to find out about one student, Joe Smith, how many rows do you return? One I hope. Similarly, if you want to produce a report listing the name of every student enrolled in a particular course, how many columns do you return from the student table? All 100? Let's hope not. As developers, we should always be striving to make our applications as efficient as possible, particularly when it comes to external resources such as databases. If you only need firstname and lastname, then that is all you should return.
If you follow this principle then the vast majority of your code will never work with the whole entity, but instead use just a few fields. The problem is that these subset of fields will be different for each discrete piece of functionality in the application and you will have a separate class for each scenario. Populating these classes is rather tiresome. If you are doing it efficiently, the following style of code will be familiar:
var studentAddressDetails = from s in context.Students select new StudentAddressDetails { FirstName = s.FirstName, LastName = s.LastName, Address1 = s.Address1, Address2 = s.Address2, Address3 = s.Address3, City = s.City, County = s.County, PostCode = s.PostCode, };
There is nothing wrong with the code above. It works and is performant. It is just rather tedious to write these kind of projections throughout your DAL. This article explains how to replace this code, with the code displayed below:
var studentAddressDetails = context.Students.Project().To<StudentAddressDetails>();
The above code results in exactly the same SQL statement being generated and the performance should be very similar in both cases, but I know which one I would rather write as a developer.
Why can't we just use AutoMapper?
Whilst I am a big fan of AutoMapper and use it in most projects I work on, especially for Domain to ViewModel mapping, when in comes to data access code, AutoMapper is not so useful. To put it simply, AutoMapper only works with in-memory data, not the IQueryable interface which is more typically used in DAL scenarios. In the data access layer, whether we are using Entity Framework, LINQ to SQL or NHibernate, we often use the IQueryable interface, specifiying what we want to query before the ORM engine translates this into SQL and returns our data. If you use AutoMapper in your DAL however, you are almost certainly returning more data than you need from the database, as the mapping will not occur until AFTER the original query has executed and the data has been returned.
If we take the example used in the previous section, using AutoMapper we would probably write something similar to this:
// probably set at app startup in reality Mapper.CreateMap<Student, StudentAddressDetails>(); var details = Mapper.Map<IEnumerable<Student>, IEnumerable<StudentAddressDetails>>(context.Students).ToList();
Unfortunately, if you fire up Query Analyser and see what is being executed, you will find that every column is being returned from the database before AutoMapper gets to work and performs the mapping. So whilst being convenient, in the DAL, AutoMapper can be rather inefficient.
Haven't I seen a solution to this before?
Jimmy is well-aware of this fact and his blog post describes an alternative to AutoMapper for DAL scenarios. The solution is basically just an extension method for IQueryable that allows you to specify exactly what to return when the query is executed. Whilst this sounds very simple, in reality, the code necessary for this extension method is not straightforward, making extensive use of expression trees which whilst very powerful, are notoriously difficult to work with. I would strongly advise you to take a look at his post before continuing with this article.
Jimmy's example code works well but, as he mentioned in his article, the code is more a proof of concept than a finished product. There are a few limitations that make it unusable in production code as it stands. Fortunately, all the difficult parts have already been done and it is very simple to modify the code so that it can be used in a commercial application, without worrying about performance.
Extending Jimmy's example
We will focus on improving three distinct areas of the code. Firstly, as Jimmy mentioned in his blog, his code is not very performant, generating the expression tree every time the extension method is used. We will add some caching to fix this issue. Secondly, the code is not tolerant of any missing properties, or even read-only properties. We will modify the code to only try and map writable properties and should a mapping not be found, we will simply move on to the next property and not throw an exception. Finally, we will allow some simple flattening of data using a convention over configuration approach.
It's tempting to try and combine the Project and To classes into one but as Jimmy pointed out, doing so makes calling it slightly more verbose because you have to specify both source and destination generic types when you use the method. This is because when it comes to generic type inference, .NET can either infer all the generic parameters or none. The standard approach in this situation is to split the functionality over two classes, which is exactly what Jimmy has done.
So with a single class, you would call you extension method as follows:
context.Students.ProjectTo<Student, StudentAddressDetails>();
But, by adding a second class, we can simplify the call to:
context.Students.Project().To<StudentAddressDetails>();
Most people would agree that the second option is a slightly nicer syntax, hence the reason for separate Project and To classes.
Fixing the caching issue is very straightforward. Before building the expression, we check a static ExpressionCache dictionary object using a key generated from the source and destination types. If present, we use the cached version. Otherwise, we generate the expression and store it in the cache for future use. You can see the full code in the download below.
public IQueryable<TDest> To<TDest>() { var queryExpression = GetCachedExpression<TDest>() ?? BuildExpression<TDest>(); return _source.Select(queryExpression); } private static Expression<Func<TSource, TDest>> GetCachedExpression<TDest>() { var key = GetCacheKey<TDest>(); return ExpressionCache.ContainsKey(key) ? ExpressionCache[key] as Expression<Func<TSource, TDest>> : null; }
To fix the fault tolerance and flattening issues, we need to split up the Expression.Lambda statement so we can check a couple of different options for source parameters and prevent failure even if no source can be found. Note that I have shortened variable names in the code below to improve display on the website.
private static Expression<Func<TSource, TDest>> BuildExpression<TDest>() { var srcProps = typeof(TSource).GetProperties(); var destProps = typeof(TDest).GetProperties().Where(dest => dest.CanWrite); var paramExpr = Expression.Parameter(typeof(TSource), "src"); var bindings = destProps .Select(destProp => BuildBinding(paramExpr, destProp, srcProps)) .Where(binding => binding != null); var expression = Expression.Lambda<Func<TSource, TDest>>( Expression.MemberInit( Expression.New(typeof(TDest)), bindings), paramExpr); var key = GetCacheKey<TDest>(); ExpressionCache.Add(key, expression); return expression; } private static MemberAssignment BuildBinding(Expression paramExpr, MemberInfo destProp, IEnumerable<PropertyInfo> srcProps) { var srcProp = srcProps.FirstOrDefault(src => src.Name == destProp.Name); if (srcProp != null) { return Expression.Bind(destProp, Expression.Property(paramExpr, srcProp)); } var propNames = SplitCamelCase(destProp.Name); if (propNames.Length == 2) { srcProp = srcProps.FirstOrDefault(src => src.Name == propNames[0]); if (srcProp != null) { var srcChildProps = srcProp.PropertyType.GetProperties(); var srcChildProp = srcChildProps.FirstOrDefault(src => src.Name == propNames[1]); if (srcChildProp != null) { return Expression.Bind(destProp, Expression.Property( Expression.Property(paramExpr, srcProp), srcChildProp)); } } } return null; }
For each writable destination property we call BuildBinding which initially just looks at the source type for a similarly named property. If we do not find such as property, then we assume that we are trying to do flattening, so try to split the property name by CamelCase. If this results in two words, we try to find a property with the same name as the first word and if present, try to find a property on the nested type with the same name as the second word. This is better visualised with an example.
Take a destination property named CoursesCount. First we look for a property on the source named CoursesCount. If not present, splitting using CamelCase results in two words: Courses and Count. As the split results in two words, we continue and try to find a property on the source named Courses. If present, we will then try and find a property on the Courses type called Count. If present, then this is our mapping. Otherwise, we return null and the CoursesCount property will not be populated. The code provided allows one level of flattening, but it is pretty straightforward to adapt this to your needs.
Example usage in a simple EF 4.1 application
Now that we have our extension method, let's see how it can be used. Our example uses the latest Entity Framework 4.1 Code First, which is a fantastic addition to EF4 that has been extremely popular with developers since its release a few months ago. It is beyond the scope of this article to explain how EF 4.1 Code First works, so if you are not familiar with it, I suggest reading some of the excellent article available on the web, such as those by Scott Guthrie or the EF Design Blog.
Our simple example uses the following database schema:
We have a student database where each student can take multiple courses, but only has a single teacher. Our code first entities are displayed below:
public class Teacher { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public ICollection<Student> Students { get; set; } } public class Course { public Course() { Students = new List<Student>(); } public int Id{ get; set; } public string Description { get; set; } public ICollection<Student> Students { get; set; } } public class Student { public Student() { Courses = new List<Course>(); } public int Id { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; } public ICollection<Course> Courses { get; set; } public Teacher Tutor { get; set; } } public class StudentSummary { public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } public string NotADatabaseColumn { get; set; } public string TutorName { get; set; } public int CoursesCount { get; set; } public string FullName { get { return string.Format("{0} {1}", FirstName, LastName); } } } public class AnotherStudentSummary { public AnotherStudentSummary() { Courses = new List<Course>(); } public string LastName { get; set; } public ICollection<Course> Courses { get; set; } }
Teacher, Course and Student classes correspond to database tables of the same name. StudentSummary and AnotherStudentSummary are examples of non-database classes used as projection targets. You can imagine that in a real-life scenario, all the tables would have many more columns, so efficient querying would be much more important.
The standard approach for returning all students as StudentSummary entities, would be to do a manual projection:
var students = from s in context.Students select new StudentSummary { FirstName = s.FirstName, LastName = s.LastName, TutorName = s.Tutor.Name, CoursesCount = s.Courses.Count };
This query seen on its own doesn't look particularly cumbersome, but imagine the dozens or even hundreds of projections that you will require on a large project, typically mapping many more properties than shown in this examples and you will understand how useful this kind of extension method can be. The previous projection can be replaced with just one line:
var students = context.Students.Project().To<StudentSummary>();
If we look at the SQL generated from this query, we can see that we are returning the minimum necessary to hydrate the StudentSummary object. In fact, the SQL output is exactly the same in both cases:
SELECT [Extent1].[Id] AS [Id], [Extent1].[FirstName] AS [FirstName], [Extent1].[LastName] AS [LastName], [Extent2].[Name] AS [Name], (SELECT COUNT(1) AS [A1] FROM [dbo].[StudentCourses] AS [Extent3] WHERE [Extent1].[Id] = [Extent3].[StudentId]) AS [C1] FROM [dbo].[Students] AS [Extent1] LEFT OUTER JOIN [dbo].[Teachers] AS [Extent2] ON [Extent1].[TeacherId] = [Extent2].[Id]
Taking each property of the StudentSummary object in turn, let's examine how they are being mapped. FirstName and LastName are just standard, same-name mappings from the database, NotADatabaseColumn is a read/write property that is not present in the database. There are many reasons why you may have properties that do not map to database columns and you do not want the projection failing in these cases. TutorName is an example of a flattening. The Student class has a Tutor property of type Teacher and the Teacher class has a Name property, so you can see from the SQL that we join onto the Teacher table and retrieve the Name property. CoursesCount is another flattening. In this case, Courses is an ICollection which of course has a Count property. Again, you can examine the SQL and see that this is being done in a very efficient manner. Finally, FullName is a read-only property, so is ignored by the extension method.
The second example which maps to the AnotherStudentSummary entity shows how simple collection mapping is also supported. Note that if you want to do anything more than map the whole collection without manipulation, then you will need to adapt the code yourself as this is not currently supported.

Conclusion
When hitting a database, as a developer, it is important to only return the data that you need and no more. When using modern ORM's, this is typically achieved by using projections when writing IQueryable queries. Typing this type of projection code can be tiresome and some people use AutoMapper instead, believing that it achieves the same thing. Unfortunately, AutoMapper knows nothing about IQueryable and only works with in-memory data, making it less than ideal in DAL scenarios. In order for AutoMapper to do its mapping, it needs to retrieve all source data from the database, resulting in much more data being returned than is necessary, reducing performance and increasing database load and network traffic.
The solution mentioned in this article, which was originally conceived by Jimmy Bogard, addresses these issues (boilerplate code vs unnecessarily large database queries), and allows you to automatically map types in your DAL in a simple, efficient manner. The code required to perform a mapping is measured in characters rather than lines and the performance is right up there with the long-winded, manual projection method. The approach is entirely convention-based with no mechanism to override the conventions, so it is certainly not going to be useful in all situations, but I have found it invaluable in the few weeks that I have been using it.

This was an awesome read and is going to save me a lot of time. One of the main reasons I don't like using DTO's was having to write these exceptionally long LINQ queries, almost took the joy out of LINQ.
Thanks again.
This is good approach to make more copact Linq & IQueryable. I'll try your code.
Thanks good post.
This is an amazing piece of work Paul. I have a question. Do you know if it's possible to re utilize all those cached expressions to do reverse mappings? In other words, using your code I now can auto map POCOs to ViewModels, but it would be great if I could map a ViewModel instance from a POST back to a POCO instance I can feed into EF.
Regarding my previous question, I came up with the following workaround:
var studentEntity = new[] { studentModel }.AsQueryable().Project().To<Student>().Single();
This works, but it's such a blatant hack I'm almost embarrassed to post it :)
Regarding cached expressions, we cannot reuse them for reverse mappings because the direction of the mapping results in a different expression tree, so unfortunately they must be cached separately.
As you have discovered, whilst you can use this code outside of an IQueryable scenario by casting, it is quite awkward, but as you say, it does work. I typically use the Project().To() code to map to domain entities and then use AutoMapper to map to and from ViewModels.
I made some modifications to allow property names to have arbitrarily long CamelCasing.
I added a function that does a recursive search for the first property matching the destination name. It has a limitation that it will match along a path with the shortest property name first, so if you have two possible paths to a destination name, it could give unexpected results.
Thanks for the excellent piece of work.
I added a feature to define the mapping in a attribute with the property. The attribute looks like
public class MappingPathAttribute : Attribute
{
public string Path = string.Empty;
}
[MappingPath(Path="Tutor.Name")]
public string TutorName { get; set; }
I made a change to the BuildBinding function in the github version.
My BuildBinding function looks like
private static MemberAssignment BuildBinding(Expression parameterExpression, MemberInfo destinationProperty, IEnumerable<PropertyInfo> sourceProperties)
{
object obj = destinationProperty.GetCustomAttributes(true).FirstOrDefault(p => p.GetType().Name == "MappingPathAttribute");
string[] sections;
if (obj!=null)
{
string path = ((MappingPathAttribute)obj).Path;
sections = path.Split('.');
}
else
{
sections = SplitCamelCase(destinationProperty.Name);
}
return ResolveProperty(
parameterExpression,
destinationProperty,
sections[0],
1,
sourceProperties,
sections.ToArray());
}
Hope this helps.

I'm impressed, this is going to save me acres of code. I think Entity Framework is excellent but it is missing stuff like this at version 4.2 (not that I blame them, it's going to get there).
Very usuful code. I have only a problem when i try it with nullable property in the source object. Are there some workaround for this scenario ?
Thanks.
I'm trying to use this in .net 3.5
On Line 53 I get following error:
Error 2 Argument '2': cannot convert from 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Linq.Expressions.MemberAssignment>' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Linq.Expressions.MemberBinding>' D:\xxx\Extensions\QueryableExtensions.cs 53 123 D:\xxx\
@NJ - Yes the code relies on generic variance in .NET 4. To get it working for .NET 3.5, I think you can just add the following on to the end of the var bindings = ... statement:
.Cast<MemberBinding>();
It should be noted that the Dictionary used for the cache is not threadsafe; so you could run into issues (as I did) using this from ASP.NET. This could probably be replaced with either a Hashtable.Synchronized instance, or a ConcurrentDictionary (.NET 4.0 only, I believe)
This is great, thanks for sharing! Do you have any ideas for "configured projections"? That is, when the entity property names don't match the projected type's property names:
.ForMember(p => p.Property, options => options.MapFrom(e => e.OtherProperty))
How could we bind sub-collections?
I'm also interested in how you'd bind sub-collections
This is great but as it seems only for simple bindings. So how could we bind sub-collections?
Maybe you already know, but this functionality is already in the main repository of AutoMapper.
Take a look here:
And here (on "CreateMapExpression" method on line 202) :
Hi, good article but please find another motivation to do stuff like that instead of:
"Imagine that you have a Student table in your database with a million rows and 100 columns storing every piece of information you could imagine about each student."
This sentence just tell me that you have no idea how to normalize your database.
To SeriousM:
Normalization of the database is greate in some scenarios and not so greate in other scenarios.
I have an object that I want to store to my databas and if I normalizes it as I should (or as Entity Framework wants to) then I will get around 20 tables. That's not a problem if I wasn't added around 3 millions of records each month to the database. So If I don't want to kill my database and doing 20 Inner joins when I want to get that object. I need to denormalize my data and tables. Some data will simple be serialized down as a blob to a column and other tables will be merged togheter to decreese the numbers of tables and joins I need to do to get the full object back later on.
So normalization is good in some scenarios, but denormalized is better if you have performance issues...
CQRS actually have a nice touch of denormalized data where each read question is it's own table. Performance is great with this approach, but it has it's cost!!
Absolutely great and simple to use!!!
Saved me enormous amount of work!
Thanks for sharing this.
This is great, but I wonder: Is it possible to make this work with nested types too?
I have the database objects House, and Garage. House has a relation to Garage. A house has one garage, and for both I have DTO objects.
But running the projection then returns me:
System.NotSupportedException
The LINQ expression node type 'Invoke' is not supported in LINQ to Entities.
Has anybody managed to make an update to allow usage with Nested Objects so that they may be projected to as well?
I'm getting the following error: "The method 'Where' cannot follow the method 'Select' or is not supported.".
see question on Stackoverflow:
Am I the only one who sees the creation of independent classes for each column combination as a huge code smell? If your Student record has 100 columns, there are 2^100 possible partial classes. Every time you change your db structure (for example modifiy a field type) or want to add a behaviour you'll have to change all the classes that include that field or that behaviour. Every time you want a new field in your web report, you'll need to modify the models of your app. I recognize straight away an application that will become a maintenance nightmare in a few years.
Hi, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT ARTICLE! really out of box.. but I have a question with "CoursesCount is another flattening. In this case, Courses is an ICollection which of course has a Count property" still I cannot see Hhow or when you call or somethong the .Count() method .... =S
You said that as Course is an ICollection has a Count() Method ,that's ok but where or how is call .....
bottomline ..WE SHOULD NOT USE AutoMapper?

Using Clojure inside Fiji
Go to Plugins ▶ Scripting ▶ Clojure Interpreter. The prompt accepts any clojure code. See also Fiji's Script Editor.
See Scripting Help for details on keybindings and how to use the interpreter. ^ Ctrl+) will add all necessary ending parenthesis.
A minimal, complete clojure example:
(import '(ij IJ)) (def gold (IJ/openImage "")) (.show gold)
To create scripts, just save them as .clj text files (with an underscore in the name) in any folder or subfolder of Fiji's plugins folder, and run Plugins ▶ Scripting ▶ Refresh Clojure Scripts to update the menus (it's done automatically at start up as well).
To edit a script, just edit and save it with your favorite text editor.
To execute a script, do any of:
- Select it from the plugins menus.
- Type 'l' (L), start typing its name, push the down arrow and then return to execute it.
- If it was the last executed command, just type ⇧ Shift+R (shortcut to "Process - Repeat Command").
The script is always read directly from the source file, so no updating of menus is needed (unless its file name changes).
Convenient Clojure in Fiji with Funimage
- Funimage provides a library for convenient Clojure coding within Fiji. Alleviating much of the need for type-hinting, and some of the burdens involved in handling more complicated data structures, such as those from ImgLib2.
See the List of update sites for information on setting up the Funimage update site.
Running Clojure files from the command line
Fiji can execute any clojure file directly:
./fiji plugins/Examples/blend_two_images.clj
The file will run with the full classpath as set by fiji, which includes all jars in fiji/jars and fiji/plugins/ folders, among others.
Getting a REPL without the usual ImageJ GUI
The simplest is:
./fiji --clojure
... which you may enrich with memory settings, incremental garbage collection (works great for multicore CPUs), the enhanced JIT (server flag), and a debugger agent (and any other JVM flag):
./fiji -Xmx2000m -Xincgc -server -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8010,server=y,suspend=n --clojure --
Above, notice the ending double dash -- which separates Fiji/JVM options from ImageJ options (in this case, none).
For a nicer Repl, you may want to run the clojure.lang.Repl via the jline.ConsoleRunner, which gives you up and down arrow navigation, etc:
./fiji -Xmx2000m -Xincgc -server -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8010,server=y,suspend=n \ --main-class jline.ConsoleRunner -- clojure.lang.Repl
Note that we put the double-dash between jline.ConsoleRunner (the main class to launch) and clojure.lang.Repl (its arguments).
If no JVM arguments were specified, there's no need for the double dash:
./fiji --main-class jline.ConsoleRunner clojure.lang.Repl
Just make sure to have the jline.jar in your classpath (or drop it into fiji/jars folder).
Debugging with the Java Debugger
If you have launched fiji with an agentlib, you may then connect to it via the jdb:
First launch fiji with the agentlib:
./fiji -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=8010,server=y,suspend=n --
Then connect, at the same port address:
cd fiji/java/linux/jdk1.6.0_12/bin/ ./jdb -attach 8010
Which gives you a jdb prompt after printing:
Set uncaught java.lang.Throwable Set deferred uncaught java.lang.Throwable Initializing jdb ... >
Now you may query about threads:
> threads Group system: (java.lang.ref.Reference$ReferenceHandler)0x72b Reference Handler cond. waiting (java.lang.ref.Finalizer$FinalizerThread)0x72c Finalizer cond. waiting (java.lang.Thread)0x72d Signal Dispatcher running
And suspend all to see the stack trace of each thread:
> suspend > where 0x72d [1] java.io.FileInputStream.read (native method) [2] jline.Terminal.readCharacter (Terminal.java:99) [3] jline.UnixTerminal.readVirtualKey (UnixTerminal.java:128) [4] jline.ConsoleReader.readVirtualKey (ConsoleReader.java:1,450) [5] jline.ConsoleReader.readBinding (ConsoleReader.java:651) [6] jline.ConsoleReader.readLine (ConsoleReader.java:492) [7] jline.ConsoleReader.readLine (ConsoleReader.java:446) [8] jline.ConsoleReader.readLine (ConsoleReader.java:298) [9] jline.ConsoleReaderInputStream$ConsoleLineInputStream.read (ConsoleReaderInputStream.java:92) ...
There are perhaps more convenient setups built into Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans and other IDEs that support Clojure via plugins, but the jdb gives you what you want very quickly.
Within the jdb prompt, type "help".
Language basics
- A ';' defines the start of a comment, just like '//' does in Java.
- A function definition declares parameters within [].
- Local variables are declared with let, and global variables with def.
- Functions are defined with defn, and are visible globally. Hence a function declared within a let statement has access to variables declared in it. This method enables closures.
Importing classes
To reference Java classes from Clojure you will need to import them.
You can specify imports in Clojure in a few ways:
; A single import. (import java.util.Date) ; Use it! (def *now* (Date.)) (str *now*) ; Multiple imports at once. (import '(java.util Date Calendar) '(java.net URI ServerSocket) java.sql.DriverManager) ; Import multiple classes in a namespace. (ns foo.bar (:import (java.util Date Calendar) (java.util.logging Logger Level)))
Calling methods and variables on a java object
There are two ways, the second syntactic sugar of the first. Below, imp is a pointer to an ImagePlus:
; java-ish way: (. imp (getProcessor)) ; shorter java-ish way: (. imp getProcessor) ; lisp-ish way: (.getProcessor imp)
To call a method on an object returned by a method call, there is a simplified way:
; double way: (. (. imp (getProcessor)) (getPixels)) ; simplified double way: (.. imp (getProcessor) (getPixels)) ; super simplified (less parenthesis than java!) (.. imp getProcessor getPixels) ; or lisp-ish way: (.getPixels (.getProcessor imp))
Any number of concatenated method calls, both for static methods or for instances:
; Concatenated call to static and instance methods (.. WindowManager getCurrentImage getProcessor getPixels)
To call a variable or 'field', just do it like a method call but without the parentheses:
(. imp changes)))
Defining a closure
In the following a function is declared within the scope of the local variable rand, which contains an instance of java.util.Random. All calls to the function rand-double will use the same random number generator instance with seed 69997.
The dotimes loop will then print 10 different pseudo-random numbers. If the rand was a new Random with seed 69997 every time, all 10 numbers would be exactly the same.
You can think of a function inside a closure as a static function using a static variable (in Java), but it's more than that, since the function will be able to access parameters on the global namespace and also in any other local namespace in which the let is declared. For example, another let, or even another defn!
(let [rand .
Manipulating images
ImageJ Image internals: ImagePlus, ImageProcessor, ImageStack
ImageJ has three basic objects:
- The ImagePlus, which wraps the ImageProcessor and contains properties and pointers to the ROI (region of interest) and the ImageWindow that may be displaying the image.
- The ImageProcessor, which is an abstract class enabling the high-level manipulation of and access to pixels. Its subclasses each wraps a different kind of data type:
- ByteProcessor - byte[]
- ShortProcessor - short[]
- FloatProcessor - float[]
- ColorProcessor - int[] (byte-packed ARGB, but Alpha channel is ignored)
- The ImageStack which contains unfortunately not an array of ImageProcessor, but an Object[] containing an homogeneous list of equal length byte[], or float[], etc.
For extensive documentation, see the Anatomy of an ImageJ image ImageJ programming basics tutorial.
Conventions in naming image variables
By convention, variables are named:
- imp to mean ImagePlus
- ip to mean ImageProcessor
- stack to mean ImageStack
Creating a new image
From scratch:
(import '(ij ImagePlus) '(ij.process ByteProcessor)) (let [imp (ImagePlus. "A new image" (ByteProcessor. 400 400))] (.show imp))
From a file:
(let [imp (IJ/openImage "/path/to/an/image.tif")] (.show imp))
Creating an image of the same type of an existing one
; The original (def imp-1 (ImagePlus. "The source image" (FloatProcessor. 512 512))) ; The new empty image, of the same type as the old but larger (def imp-2 (ImagePlus. "The larger image of the same type" (.. imp-1 getProcessor (createProcessor 768 768))))
Above, notice the parenthesis (createProcessor 768 768), which specify for which method those numbers are arguments for.
Resizing an image
The idea is to grab the ImageProcessor, duplicate it and resize it. The resizing returns a new ImageProcessor of the same type:
(def imp-1 (IJ/openImage "/path/to/image1.tif")) (def imp-2 (ImagePlus. "A new larger one" (.. imp-1 getProcessor (createProcessor 1024 1024)))) ; Copy one into the other at top-left (hence 0,0 insert point): (doto (.getProcessor imp-2) (.insert (.getProcessor imp-1) 0 0))
An alternative way would be to simply duplicate the processor of imp-1, and then enlarge it:
(def imp-3 (ImagePlus. "A copy with extra empty space" (.. imp-1 getProcessor duplicate (resize 768 768)))
Resizing an ImageStack
This one is harder, because an ImageStack is just a wrapper for Object[] list of pixel arrays. ImageJ though provides a mid-level resizing method, via the CanvasResizer class:
(import '(ij.plugin CanvasResizer) '(ij IJ ImagePlus)) ; Grab the image in the currently active ImageWindow: (def imp-1 (IJ/getImage)) ; function to resize images: (defn resize-image "Takes an ImagePlus as argument and returns a new ImagePlus but resized to width,height, and with the contents copied starting from xoff,yoff" [imp w h xoff yoff] (let [resizer (CanvasResizer.) stack (.getStack imp) imp-2 (ImagePlus. (.getTitle imp) (if stack (.expandStack resizer stack w h xoff yoff) (.expandProcessor resizer w h xoff yoff)))] imp-2)) (def imp-2 (resize-image imp-1 1024 1024 0 0)) (.show imp-2)
Note that the above function resize-image will work for both stacks and non-stack images.
Of course nothing stops you from looping through the stack length, calling a new ImageProcessor for each slice, resizing it, composing a new ImageStack and with it a new ImagePlus.
; Grab the image in the currently active ImageWindow: (def imp-1 (IJ/getImage)) (defn resize-stack "Resize an ImageStack to new widht,height and copy its contents starting at xoff,yoff coordinate." [stack w h xoff yoff] (let [new-stack (ImageStack. w h nil)] (doseq [i (range 0 (.getSize stack))] (let [ip (.getProcessor stack (+ i 1)) #^ImageProcessor ip2 (.createProcessor ip w h)] (.insert ip2 ip xoff yoff) (.addSlice new-stack (str i) ip2))) new-stack))
Above, note that stacks are 1-based,not 0-based!
Also, we must declare the type of the ip2 because clojure cannot decide between the ImageProcessor.addSlice(String,ImageProcessor) and ImageProcessor.addSlice(String,Object). You must make that choice for clojure.
Notice that each time you call getProcessor on an ImageStack, it returns a new ImageProcessor instance in a very costly way, by calling a series of instanceof on the pixels arrays to figure out which kind of ImageProcessor subclass it should create.
Resizing an image or ImageStack using ROIs
ROIs (aka Region of Interest or selection) have bounds, defined by the minimal enclosing rectangle.
The core idea is to set a ROI to an ImageProcessor and call crop to obtain a new, subcopy of it.
(def imp (IJ/getImage)) (def imp-cropped (ImagePlus. "Cropped" (let [ip (.getProcessor imp)] (.setRoi ip (Roi. 10 10 200 200)) (.crop ip)))) (.show imp-cropped)
To handle any ImagePlus (with single slice or containing an ImageStack, i.e. many slices), see this function:
(which assumes the ROI is contained fully within the image; otherwise for stacks it will throw an Exception stating that, rightly, dimensions do not match.)
(import '(ij.gui Roi) '(ij ImagePlus) '(ij.process ImageProcessor)) (def imp (IJ/getImage)) (defn crop-image "Crop an image by the bounds of a ROI, returning a new ImagePlus with the result." [imp roi] (let [crop-processor (fn [ip roi] (.setRoi ip roi) (.crop ip)) stack (.getStack imp)] ; Return a new ImagePlus with a new cropped ImageProcessor ; or a new cropped ImageStack: (ImagePlus. (.getTitle imp) (if stack (let [box (.getBounds roi) new-stack (ImageStack. (.width box) (.height box) nil)] (doseq [i (range (.getSize stack))] (.addSlice new-stack (.getSliceLabel stack (+ i 1)) #^ImageProcessor (crop-processor (.getProcessor stack (+ i 1)) roi))) new-stack) ; Else single slice image: (crop-processor (.getProcessor imp) roi))))) (def imp-cropped (crop-image imp (Roi. 100 100 300 300)) (.show imp-cropped)
The above works with both single images and stacks.
Manipulate images using ImgLib
With Imglib, pixels are stored in native arrays of primitives such as int, float, double, etc. (or other more interesting forms, such as Shape. Such pixels are accessed with intermediate proxy objects that the JIT is able to completely remove out of the way.
From Clojure, there are many ways in which to access the pixels. Here we list some examples of the pixels accessed as a Collection of accessor Type objects.
Multiply each pixel by 0.5
Multiply in place each value by 0.5. The ImgLib/wrap is a thin wrapper that accesses directly the pixel array. Hence the original image will be changed.
; ASSUMES the current image is 32-bit (ns test.imglib (:import [mpicbg.imglib.image Image] [script.imglib ImgLib] [mpicbg.imglib.type.numeric.real FloatType] [ij IJ])) (set! *warn-on-reflection* true) (let [^Image img (ImgLib/wrap (IJ/getImage)) a (float 0.5)] (doseq [^FloatType t img] (.mul t a)))
In a more functional style, below we create an image with the same dimensions as the wrapped image, and set its pixel values to those of the original image times 0.5:
(ns test.imglib (:import [mpicbg.imglib.image Image] [mpicbg.imglib.cursor Cursor] [script.imglib ImgLib] [mpicbg.imglib.type.numeric NumericType] [ij IJ])) (set! *warn-on-reflection* true) (let [^Image img (ImgLib/wrap (IJ/getImage)) a (float 0.5) ^Image copy (.createNewImage img "copy")] (with-open [^Cursor c1 (.createCursor img) ^Cursor c2 (.createCursor copy)] (loop [] (if (.hasNext c1) (do (.fwd c1) (.fwd c2) (let [^NumericType t1 (.getType c1) ^NumericType t2 (.getType c2)] (.set t2 t1) (.mul t2 a)) (recur))))) (.. copy getDisplay setMinMax) (.show (ImgLib/wrap copy)))
The above, though, is unbearably verbose. A high-level access to the images enables mathematical operations without trading off any performance:
(ns test.imglib (:import [mpicbg.imglib.image Image] [mpicbg.imglib.cursor Cursor] [script.imglib ImgLib] [script.imglib.math Compute Multiply] [ij IJ])) (set! *warn-on-reflection* true) (let [^Image img (ImgLib/wrap (IJ/getImage)) ^Image copy (Compute/inFloats (Multiply. img 0.5))] (.. copy getDisplay setMinMax) (.show (ImgLib/wrap copy)))
What's more, the Compute/inFloats method runs in parallel, with as many processors as your machine has cores. If you'd rather not execute the operation in parallel, add the desired number of threads as an argument to inFloats.
All mathematical operations listed in java.lang.Math have a corresponding constructor for execution in Compute/inFloats. See the documentation for the script.imglib.math package.
Normalize an image
Assumes that (IJ/getImage) returns a 32-bit, float image. If that is not the case, convert the image to a float image first.
The example below creates a new result image. The original image is untouched. This is accomplished with minimal friction but best performance (like hand-coded with cursors or better) by using the high-level scripting library of imglib, and the Compute/inFloats method.
(ns test.imglib (:import [mpicbg.imglib.image Image] [script.imglib ImgLib] [script.imglib.math Compute Subtract Divide] [ij IJ])) (let [^Image img (ImgLib/wrap (IJ/getImage)) size (.size img) mean (reduce #(+ %1 (/ (.getRealFloat %2) size)) (float 0) img) variance (/ (reduce #(+ %1 (Math/pow (- (.getRealFloat %2) mean) (float 2))) (float 0) img) size) std-dev (Math/sqrt variance) ^Image normalized (Compute/inFloats (Divide. (Subtract. img mean) std-dev))] (.. normalized getDisplay setMinMax) (.show (ImgLib/wrap normalized)))
There is a better way to compute the mean and variance of a collection of numbers, that involves traversing the collection only once. Clojure naturally helps with its very concise destructuring and its automatic promotion of numeric types to avoid overflow.
(ns test.imglib (:import [mpicbg.imglib.image Image] [mpicbg.imglib.type.numeric RealType] [script.imglib ImgLib] [script.imglib.math Compute Subtract Divide] [ij IJ])) (set! *warn-on-reflection* true) (let [^Image img (ImgLib/wrap (IJ/getImage)) size (.size img) [xs x2s] (reduce (fn [accum ^RealType t] (let [xi (.getRealFloat t)] [(+ (accum 0) xi) (+ (accum 1) (* xi xi))])) [0 0] img) mean (/ xs size) variance (- (/ x2s size) (* mean mean)) std-dev (Math/sqrt variance) ^Image normalized (Compute/inFloats (Divide. (Subtract. img mean) std-dev))] (.. normalized getDisplay setMinMax) (.show (ImgLib/wrap normalized)))
(Code adapted from a Common Lisp version by Patrick Stein.)
Looping an array of pixels
For example, to find the min and max values:
; Obtain the pixels array from the current image (let [imp (ij.WindowManager/getCurrentImage) pixels (.. imp getProcessor getPixels) min (apply min pixels) max (apply max pixels)] (println (str "min: " min ", max: " max)))
The above code does not explicitly loop the pixels: it simply applies a function to an array.
To loop pixels one by one, use any of the following:
(let ))) (recur (inc i) len)))))
Above, notice that the loop -- recur construct is essentially a let declaration, with a second call (recur) to reset the variables to something else. In this case, the next index in the array. Note how the len is simply given the same value over and over, just to avoid calling (count pixels) at each iteration..
Creating and using Clojure scripts as ImageJ plugins
Simply create a text file with the script inside, and place it in the plugins menu or any subfolder. Then call Plugins - Scripting - Refresh Clojure Scripts to make it appear on the menus.
If the macros/StartupMacros.txt includes a call to the Refresh Clojure Scripts inside the AutoRun macro, then all your Clojure scripts will appear automatically on startup.
To modify an script which exists already as a menu item, simply edit its file and run it by selecting it from the menus. No compiling necessary, and no need to call Refresh Clojure Scripts either (ther latter only for new scripts or at start up.)
Very important: all scripts and commands from the interpreter will run within the same thread, and within the same clojure context.
Using java beans for quick and convenient access to an object's fields
Essentially it's all about using get methods in a trivial way. For example:
(let [imp (ij.WindowManager/getCurrentImage) b (bean imp)] (println (:title b) (:width b) (:height b)))
Eventually Clojure may add support for set methods as well. ▶ Scripting ▶*, which you may redefine to any kind of PrintWriter:
(let [all-out (new java.io.StringWriter)] (binding [*out* all-out] ; any typed input here ; All calls to pr, prn, println will print into all-out (println "this and that") ) ; Now show any printed out text in ImageJ's log window: (ij.IJ/log (str all-out)))
Destructuring
Destructuring is a shortcut to capture the contents of a variable into many variables.
An example: when looping a map, we get the entry, not the key and value of each entry:
(doseq [e {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3}] (println e))
Prints:
[:a 1] [:b 2] [:c 3] nil
Each "entry" is represented by a vector with two values.
Now to loop more conveniently, we can assign the key and value to variables, by what is called destructuring (note the [k v] where the e was before)
(doseq [[k v] {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3}] (println k v))
Prints:
:a 1 :b 2 :c 3 nil
Even better, we can preserve the whole entry as well, by using the keyword ":as":
(doseq [[k v :as e] {:a 1 :b 2 :c 3}] (println k v e))
Prints:
:a 1 [:a 1] :b 2 [:b 2] :c 3 [:c 3] nil
Namespaces
- To list all existing namespaces:
>>> (all-ns) (#<Namespace: xml> #<Namespace: zip> #<Namespace: clojure> #<Namespace: set> #<Namespace: user>)
- To list all functions and variables of a specific namespace, first get the namespace object by name:
(ns-map (find-ns 'xml))
Note above the quoted string "xml" to avoid evaluating it to a (non-existing) value.
- To list all functions and variables of all namespaces:

Defining documentation for a variable
(def #^{:doc "The maximum number of connections"} max-con 10)
... which the doc function prints as:
user=> (doc max-con) ------------------------- user/max-con nil The maximum number of connections nil
Function documentation is internally set like the above: defn is a macro that defines a function and puts the second argument as the doc string of the variable that points to the function body (among many other things).
Adding a test function to a variable
We first declare the variable, and then define it with a metadata map that includes a test function:
(declare a) (def #^{:test #(if (< a 10) (throw (Exception. "Value under 10!")))} a 6)
... which we then test, by invoking the function test not on the value of the variable a (which could have its own metadata map), but on the variable a itself, referred to with the #'a:
(test #'a)
The test results, in this case, in an exception being thrown:
java.lang.Exception: Value under 10!
Otherwise, it would just return the :ok keyword.)
Printing lazy sequences to the REPL
The REPL, when given a lazy sequence, will traverse it in its entirety to print it.
Printing a potentially infinite lazy sequence to the REPL is something you don't want to do: besides triggering computation of each element, it would fill all memory and throw an OutOfMemoryException. And you'd get bored seeing elements pass by.
A good option is to print only part of it:
- take: the first N elements.
- drop: all elements beyond N.
- nth: the nth element only.
For infinite lazy sequences, drop wouldn't save your REPL, and take could be perhaps too many still.
To avoid accidental printing of complete lazy-sequences, you may set *print-length* to a reasonable number:
(set! *print-length* 5)
So now one can safely print the entire fibonnaci sequence, which will print only the first 5 elements, followeed by dots:
user=> (set! *print-length* 5) 5 user=> fibs (0 1 1 2 3 ...)
The *print-length* applies to all sequences to be printed in the REPL, but is specially useful for very large lazy sequences.)))
Some explanations on the above macro syntax (see also clojure's macro syntax page):
- The backquote ` quotes the next expression, as defined by: `( <any code here> ). Which means the code block is not evaluated. But, unlike simple quote ', the backquote enables evaluation of expressions within the block when tagged with a ~ (a tilde).
- The ~ (tilde) evaluates the immediate expression. Can only be used in the context of a backquoted code block.
- The ~@ means evaluate and expand, which has the efect of placing the elements of a list as if they where declared in the code, without the list enclosure. So: `(~@(str "this" "that")) results in: "thisthat". In the example above, we expand the & args, which is a list containing all arguments given to the exec macro beyond the first and second (which are bound to cmd and pred, respectively). In this way, we lay down the proper function call of the pred, which is expected to be a function name (a predicate); the reason we use ~ on it is to evaluate pred so that it renders the pointer to the function itself. That pred function, by design, must accept a lazy sequence of text lines and any number of arguments afterwards.
- The # tagged at the end of a name expands to (gensym name), which results in creating a uniquely named symbol, to avoid name collisions.
- Any code present outside the backquote (none, in the case above) will be executed at macro read time, not at code execution time (aka run time)! So any precomputations are possible before laying down the code that will be executed at run time.:
; Print the size of each file)))

Creating a derivative of a function
The derivative of a function:
We can approximate the derivative by choosing an arbitrarily precise value of the increment dx.
So first we define a function that takes any function as argument and returns a new function that implements its derivative. For convenience, we define it within a closure that specifies the arbitrarily precise increment dx (but we could just pass it as argument):
(let [dx (double 0.0001)] (defn derivative [f] "Return a function that is the derivative of the given function f, using dx increments." (fn [x] (/ (- (f (+ (double x) dx)) (f x)) dx))))
Then, for any example function like the cube of x:
(defn cubic [x] (let [a (double x)] (* a a a)))
... we create its derivative function, which we place into a variable (note we use def and not defn):
(def cubic-prime (derivative cubic))
We can now call the cubic-prime function simply like any other function:
(cubic-prime 2) -> 12.000600010022566 (cubic-prime 3) -> 27.00090001006572 (cubic-prime 4) -> 48.00120000993502
The derivative of x^3 is 3 * x^2, which for an x of 4 equals 48. Our derivative is as precise as low is the value of the increment dx.

Pretty printing a primitive array
Suppose we create a primitive array of length 10:
user=> (def pa (make-array Integer/TYPE 10))
If we print it, we get:
user=> (println pa) #<int[] [I@169bc15>
... which is not very useful. Instead, let's pretty print it.
First, import the function pprint (and many other functions) from clojure-contrib pprint namespace:
user=> (use 'clojure.contrib.pprint)
Then, use it:
user=> (pprint pa) [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
A similar result can be obtained by wrapping primitive arrays with seq, which generates a Collection view on the primitive array:
user=> (println (seq pa)) [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
That seq creates only a view (and not a copy), you can convince yourself: changing the array changes the view, too:
user=> (def sa (seq pa)) user=> sa [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] user=> (aset pa 3 7) user=> (pprint pa) [0, 0, 0, 7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0] user=> sa [0, 0, 0, 7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
(import [java.io File FileInputStream] (defn ^bytes load-file "Load a file into a byte array." [filepath] (let [^File f (File. filepath) len (int (.length f)) ^bytes b (byte-array len)] (with-open [^FileInputStream fis (FileInputStream. f)] (loop [offset (int 0)] (if (< offset len) (recur (unchecked-add offset (.read fis b offset (unchecked-subtract len offset))))))) b))
... which then may be parsed as a java.awt.Image:
(def img (javax.imageioImageIO/read (java.io.ByteArrayInputStream. (load-file "/home/acardona/Desktop/t2/NileBend.jpg"))))
... which then may be shown as an ImagePlus:
