Q: Is it right to join two groups followed in distinct periods of time of the same length in one single Kaplan Meier estimate? I followed two groups of people for one year. Both were subjected to the same conditions, just in two different periods. One group was followed throughout 2019 and another was followed throughout 2020.  My intention is to make a Kaplan Meier estimate for the two groups. My question is: can I combine them into one sample and make a single Kaplan Meier estimate or should I carry out my analysis separately, stratifying it for the two years?
Thank you.
I'm only on my second question here, so forgive me if my request for an explanation sounds a bit naive.

A: Look at the data first, and let the data be your guide.
If there were no differences between 2019 and 2020 with respect to the phenomenon of interest, it might make sense to combine the calendar-year groups. But blindly combining the groups without examining the data might lead you to miss an important distinction between 2019 and 2020. Given the 2020 pandemic, one might expect some substantial differences between those 2 calendar years.
If it's just a matter of following the same type of individuals in each of 2019 and 2020 without any treatment interventions or evaluation of covariate effects, you could do a log-rank test on separate Kaplan-Meier curves for the 2 years (equivalent in that case to the score-test result of a Cox regression with calendar year as a categorical predictor) to see if the calendar years differ by a greater amount than would be expected by chance. If not, combining the 2 years might make sense.
Maybe you have a treatment/control comparison performed in each of the calendar years. With 1 treatment group and 1 control group for each calendar year, that's only 4 Kaplan-Meier curves, quite easy to visualize. A Cox model with an interaction between treatment and calendar year can both test whether the treatment effect differs between the years and evaluate whether the survival under control conditions differs between the 2 years.

Q: JSF get table rows data inside managed bean I'm new to JSF and I'm trying to get rows data inside a data table when submit button is pressed. I read about DataModel but I don't know how to use it in my case, my code is as follows:
View:
<p:dataTable binding="#{examSchedule.myDataTable}"
             value="#{examSchedule.deptCourses}"
             rowIndexVar="index"

    </p:column>

                         ajax="false"
                         type="submit"
                         action="#{examSchedule.save}"
                         update="dataTableID" />
    </f:facet>

</p:dataTable>

Model:
@Named(value="examSchedule")
public class ExamScheduleBean {

    private DataTable myDataTable;
    private List<Courses> DeptCourses;

    public void getTableColumns() {
        for(int i = 0; i < DeptCourses.size(); i++) {
            myDataTable.setRowIndex(i);
            List<org.primefaces.component.api.UIColumn> columns = myDataTable.getColumns();
            for (org.primefaces.component.api.UIColumn uiColumn : columns) {
                System.out.println(uiColumn.getField());
            }
        }
    }

    public void save() {
         getTableColumns();
    }
}

Assuming that DeptCourses has data, I want to get all rows inside data table when I click the save button. I tried the code inside getTableColumns() but it prints null, i'm not able to save deptCourses because only the first column gets its data from these list and the other columns has no data for these list, the user will enter data before submitting,  any idea about how to do that?

Afcon 2021: Tunisia-Mali game descends into farce as referee ends game early
Zambian referee Janny Sikazwe blew his final whistle in the 85th minute and then again in the 89th
Tunisia coach Mondher Kebaier remonstrates with referee Janny Sikazwe after the match (Reuters)
Published date: 12 January 2022 16:42 UTC | Last update: 1 year ago
The Africa Cup of Nations Group F game between Mali and Tunisia descended into farce on Wednesday after Zambian referee Janny Sikazwe blew his whistle for full time after 85 minutes and then again after 89 minutes, without adding any stoppage time.
Sikazwe had to be escorted from the pitch by security after Tunisia's manager Mondher Kebaier and his backroom staff stormed onto the field to confront him. A furious Kebaier chased Sikazwe and his assistants across the turf, shouting at them as he went.
Mali, who had forward El Bilal Toure sent off in the 87th minute in what appeared to be another bizarre decision, won the game 1-0, after a 48th-minute penalty from Ibrahima Kone. Tunisia's Wahbi Khazri missed a penalty.
With a series of interruptions throughout the second half, everyone was expecting there to be plenty of stoppage time beyond the 90 minutes.

Instead, Sikazwe decided to end the game before the 90 minutes were even up.
The players left the pitch, but then, after the start of the post-match press conference, tournament organisers ordered them back on to play the rest of the game. When Mali's players returned and Tunisia's did not, Mali were awarded the victory.
Kebaier said of his team's refusal to return to the pitch: "The players were taking ice baths for 35 minutes before they were called back out again. I've been coaching for a long time and never seen anything like it. Even the fourth referee was preparing to lift the board and then the whistle was blown."
This is not the first time Sikazwe has been at the heart of controversy. In November 2018 he was suspended by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) on suspicion of corruption.
Concerns arose about his refereeing of a CAF Champions League semi-final between Esperance and Primeiro Agosto. Sikazwe awarded Tunisian club Esperance a controversial penalty and ruled out a goal by Primeiro Agosto, an Angolan club.
The Zambian referee's suspension was lifted in January 2019 by Fifa.

You can hire a pumping company for big jobs like vacuuming, pumping, and hauling liquid wa100_1062ste from sand traps or liquid waste receptacles. However, many businesses forget about their grease traps. This is especially true if you have had to cut your budget or the facility has recently changed hands. Because it is of less priority compared to other operations, it can fall to the bottom of the list or off it entirely. Simply put, new managers or owners do not always think about the grease traps until it is too late.
Not just used for restaurants, hotels or supermarkets, many industrial and manufacturing facilities use grease traps to ensure the entire property is operating optimally. No matter where your grease traps are, we service these devices as part of your water and sewage system. To get a better understanding of what they are and why they need regular inspection, take a look at the information below. After you read it, you will see why adding professional, third-party grease trap servicing to your regular maintenance inspections is the best course of action.
A grease trap is exactly as it sounds. It is a trap that collects grease from water as it leaves drains and travels toward your sewage system. If you have an on-site septic tank, you know the importance of keeping it functioning optimally. To keep grease from hardening in the pipes and causing water flow or sewage backup issues, grease traps could be installed anywhere in your facility. Because they are extremely cheap and practical solutions, they may be in areas of a supermarket, home or manufacturing plant that you do not expect.
How often should a grease trap be cleaned?
Depending on the frequency of use, the grease trap may need to be cleaned out more often. For example, a supermarket or hotel may need a grease trap with more intensity during the holidays. A processing plant for canned vegetables may need a grease trap serviced especially during the harvest season. No matter what type of facility you have, the procedure for grease trap cleaning and inspection is simple. You call and request a regular inspection to clean out the grease traps before they get too full and start causing problems.
Why is it important to clean grease traps?
Since the grease trap has a job of collecting grease, it will eventually get full. The first sign that a grease trap is clogged is that it will cause the drains to stop draining. In some cases, the blocked grease traps will cause sewage backups in your facility. In addition to making your facility unsanitary, it could cause health inspectors to shut down the building which will send customers home or interrupt production.

While grease traps are a small part of what we have to offer, we take pride in each inspection, repair, cleaning and installation we do. To get started, call us for an inspection. Once we take a look at your grease traps, we can let you know if they are ready to be cleaned. We look forward to hearing from you, and we can answer any questions you may have when you contact one of our friendly staff.

Céphale et Procris ou l'Amour conjugal est un ballet héroïque en trois actes d'André-Ernest-Modeste Grétry, sur un livret de Jean-François Marmontel et une chorégraphie de Gaëtan Vestris, créé le  à l'Opéra royal du château de Versailles (Versailles).

Genèse de l'œuvre

Contexte marital
À la suite de la représentation de l'opéra-comique Le Huron (1769), la notoriété du jeune Grétry va croître inexorablement les trois années suivantes, les succès s'accumulant, notamment avec l'opéra-ballet Zémire et Azor.

Le Versailles de Louis XV lui passe alors commande de Céphale et Procris, un projet ambitieux qui doit être donné lors des festivités somptueuses en l'honneur du mariage du comte Charles-Philippe d'Artois, petit-fils du Roy et futur Charles X de France, avec Marie-Thérèse de Sardaigne.

C'est une véritable consécration pour le compositeur, surtout que pour éblouir l'Europe entière, la cour a engagé des dépenses exorbitantes afin d'engager l'art dans une voix ambitieuse et moderne. La création de Grétry partage alors l'affiche avec la reprise d'Ernelinde, princesse de Norvège de Philidor et Sabinus, une création de François-Joseph Gossec.

Un livret hybride et ambitieux, mais critiqué
Le poème de Marmontel répond au goût de son époque pour les actions galantes et spectaculaire tout en adaptant un sujet antique bien connu de tous : les amours de Céphale et Procris déjà sujets en 1694 de la seule tragédie lyrique composée par Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre, portant le même titre.

Néanmoins, le livret se veut novateur dans la forme puisque l'auteur lui-même revendique une première, celle de « concilier le merveilleux et le spectacle de l'Opéra français, avec la coupe des airs, des duos, du récitatif obligé, et des ensembles à l'italienne ».

Alors que Marmontel appelle à « l'indulgence que l'on accorde aux nouveautés qui ont pour objet d'étendre la sphère des arts », les critiques sont acerbes et n'acceptent pas cette esthétique ambigüe qui hésite entre l'héritage français (sujet mythologique, présence d'allégories, scènes types comme les descentes de divinités, entrées de ballet à chaque acte...) et la modernité italienne (prologue et coupe du poème en trois actes, numéros musicaux autonomes...). Ces caractéristiques, sévèrement rejetées fortuitement à l'époque, semblent en fait « faire toute la richesse et la variété de l'ouvrage » pour le spectateur contemporain.

On lui reproche en outre d'avoir trop librement arrangé le septième livre des Métamorphoses d'Ovide, en exagérant démesurément la dimension galante de ses amours, amputant le poème de son potentiel dramatique.
Si ces remarques ne manquent pas de fondement, il apparaît finalement que Marmontel, en osant avilir l'homme à ses sentiments et en lui ôtant tout héroïsme, entrebâille la porte du Romantisme à venir. Son pari n'a, semble-t-il, pas été compris.

Ballet héroïque ou tragédie lyrique à entrées de ballet ?
Céphale et Procris ne semble pas répondre aux canons du genre du « ballet héroïque », né en 1723 avec Les Fêtes grecques et romaines de François Colin de Blamont. En effet, ce genre est caractérisé par des entrées de ballet autonomes, dont le ton oscille entre grandiloquent et pastoral dans le seul objectif de présenter un divertissement spectaculaire. Or, même si l'intensité dramatique est ténue dans Céphale, elle existe bien.

Intitulé « ballet héroïque », le terme, inusité depuis plus de vingt ans, semble donc ici galvaudé par l'auteur pour éviter que son œuvre ne soit jugé à l'aune des codes de la tragédie lyrique dont Céphale et Procris relève pourtant davantage, alors que Marmontel est parfaitement conscient de présenter un genre nouveau qu'il nomme « tragédie romantique ».

Argument

Acte premier
Le théâtre représente une forêt.

Nymphe de Diane, Procris s'est détournée de la déesse par amour pour le chasseur Céphale. Mais elle trouve une puissante rivale en la personne de l'Aurore, elle aussi amourachée du jeune et beau chasseur. Pour briser les liens qui l'unissent à Procris, celle-ci, déguisée en Nymphe des bois, prédit à Céphale que la vengeance de Diane sera terrible : Céphale lui-même en sera l'instrument et immolera celle qu'il aime. Épouvanté par cette image et malgré les exhortations de Procris, Céphale fait le choix de l'abandonner.

Acte deuxième
Le théâtre est d'abord rempli de nuages légers, qui se dissipent, et laissent voir l'Aurore dans son palais, environnée de sa cour, et couchée sur un lit de roses.

Céphale s'est réfugié dans le palais de l'Aurore où les suivantes de la déesse lui font entrevoir la douceur de vivre auprès d'elle. L'Aurore apparaît et révèle la nature de ses sentiments, mais Céphale, guidée par son amour inaltérable et invincible pour Procris, refuse ces avances.

Acte troisième
Le théâtre représente un lieu aride, âpre et désert, au milieu d'un bois.

Abandonnée, Procris se croit trahie par son amant : elle est torturée par la Jalousie qui tente d'ébranler ses convictions amoureuses. Elle résiste un temps mais s'évanouit, interprétant mal des paroles que Céphale prononce en se croyant seul. Le chasseur se méprend lui-même lorsqu'il entend sa bien-aimée s'effondrer dans un buisson qui la cache à sa vue et décoche une flèche qui meurtrit Procris. La vengeance de Diane s'est donc accomplie malgré les efforts des deux amants. Mais l'Amour descend in extremis des cieux pour réanimer Procris, couronne la constance en désarmant Diane, et réunit Céphale et Procris pour l'éternité.

La musique
La musique de Grétry s'inscrit dans le lent mouvement d'acclimatation du style italien dans la tradition lyrique et musicale sérieuse française, perceptible dès Les Boréades (1764) de Jean-Philippe Rameau et poursuivi dans Sylvie (1765) de Jean-Claude Trial et Pierre Montan Berton, Aline, reine de Golconde (1766) de Pierre-Alexandre Monsigny, et Ernelinde, princesse de Norvège de François-André Danican Philidor.

Mais en 1773, Sabinus de François-Joseph Gossec et Céphale et Procris apparaissent véritablement « comme les avant-coureurs d'une nouvelle révolution dans la musique », renvoyant définitivement l'ancien style national dans les archives de l'histoire de la musique. Si le livret de Céphale et Procris regarde donc déjà vers le romantisme, la musique marque le basculement définitif du style baroque au style classique.

L'Iphigénie en Aulide de Christoph Willibald Gluck, généralement considéré comme la transposition de la réforme de l'opera seria à l'opéra français, ne fera finalement que consacrer « la révolution que les deux ouvrages précédents avaient commencée ».

Céphale et Procris apparaît donc comme une contribution majeure au renouvellement du répertoire lyrique français, bien en phase avec son temps quelques mois seulement avant l'arrivée de Gluck à Paris.

Alors que le poème subissait les semonces des critiques, la musique de Grétry était elle quasiment unanimement encensée : « Monsieur Grétry a développé dans cet opéra les charmes et les ressources de son génie. Ses chants jamais vagues sont toujours inspirés par le sentiment et indiqués par les paroles ».

S'essayant pour la première fois au genre sérieux, il semble avoir particulièrement réussi là où on ne l'attendait pas : « Les chœurs de cet opéra sont du plus grand effet et de la plus riche composition. Les airs de danse sont tous très saillants et d'une mélodie agréable, neuve et pittoresque. On ne s'attendait pas à la réussite de cette partie de la musique des danses, toute nouvelle pour Monsieur Grétry ».

Mais ce sont surtout les récitatifs qui impressionnèrent le public par leur élégance et leur vérité narrative, et font ainsi la singularité de l'ouvrage. Le Mercure de France écrit à leur propos qu'ils sont « si vrai, si facile, si naturel, si analogue à l'accent de la langue, qu'il semble n'être que la parole embellie, anoblie et plus sensible encore que la simple déclamation ».

Postérité scénique
Malgré l'importance historique et la qualité de l'ouvrage qui ouvrira au compositeur les portes de l'Académie royale de musique, Céphale et Procris aura droit en effet à douze représentations dans ce temple prestigieux de la musique en mai 1775 puis vingt-six nouvelles en 1777, l'œuvre tombera dans l'oubli, sans doute à cause de l'incompréhension du livret mais aussi en raison de la ferveur gluckiste qui embrase le tout-Paris.

Céphale et Procris est sorti de l'oubli plus de deux siècles plus tard, pour une recréation dans les lieux qui l'ont vu naître, à l'Opéra royal du château de Versailles, le , dans le cadre des Grandes Journées Grétry organisés par le Centre de musique baroque de Versailles.

The pandemic policies are bad
I repeat now, in order to renew and reaffirm, a point that I was careful to make last year: when I criticize policies (or common threads that run through some of those policies over time) of the administration of Governor Holcomb of Indiana -- especially those policies and policy trends relating to the pandemic -- I do not intend for it to be taken as criticism of Eric Holcomb personally. On the contrary, based on what I knew of him from before he was governor, I believe his inclinations and instincts run with the greater force against the extraordinarily coercive, extra-legal, autocratic slant to the pandemic policies of his administration (like those of other states) than in favor of it. I believe that he has been pushed in the direction we see by not only the exceptional pressure placed on him, as governor, in the face of the pandemic itself, but probably also advice (from his advisors) to take the actions that he now has taken, the bad example set by governors of other states, and pressure from those among the citizens of Indiana who lack the courage needed to be free.
Indiana's so-called "Emergency Management and Disaster Law" deserves the blame more than any person or number of people, however, because its flaws are so profound, so glaring, and so numerous, but they had been present for over forty years (some of them being around seventy years old) before the pandemic began. The very existence of this "Disaster" law as we know it was needless and avoidable, and the General Assembly should have done something about it a long time ago. And if upon reading it, the governor or his staff came to believe that the General Assembly (in the distant past) had made it a governor's responsibility during an emergency to exercise the illegal, abusive powers that IC 10-14-3 affects to grant, then that is unfortunate, but it is not surprising. IC 10-14-3 creates the appearance (though the appearance is deceiving) that a governor not only may but is expected to take advantage of it. Accordingly, the governor has done so; among his other uses of it, he has now issued fifteen (and counting!*) consecutive declarations of a "State of Disaster Emergency".
None of this is an "excuse" for his pandemic-related policies. I simply think that the distinction between criticizing the governor and criticizing what he has been doing is justified and is worth making.
Also, the considerations above all apply (though possibly with less force) to the governor's weird lawsuit against the Indiana General Assembly and some of its members.
* UPDATE, June 30, 2021: The governor has now declared sixteen consecutive Disaster Emergency terms (and counting).
* UPDATE, July 29, 2021: The governor has now declared seventeen consecutive Disaster Emergency terms ... and counting.
* UPDATE, August 30, 2021: The governor has now declared eighteen consecutive Disaster Emergency terms, and counting....
* UPDATE AND CORRECTION, October 5, 2021: First, it occurred to me that where I state above the number of consecutive Disaster Emergency terms that the governor had by those points in time declared, the correct number is in each of those cases one greater than what I wrote. Each of the numbers that I gave were for the renewals of the State of Disaster Emergency; I neglected to add the first thirty-day term to them. Second, with that correction, and as of September 30, 2021, the governor has now declared twenty consecutive Disaster Emergency terms, and counting. (In order to express this in the simplest terms I can manage, I am pretending here that I did not recently notice that the thirty-day Disaster Emergency terms are no longer run consecutively, with each "renewal" beginning immediately when the previous thirty-day term ends. Four times this year, so far, a "renewal" Disaster Emergency term did not begin until a day after the previous term ended. By law, that should have caused the State of Disaster Emergency to finally expire -- four times! -- but I see no evidence that anyone has noticed this. If they did, they are pretending that they did not.)

Do not attach the word "law" to anything that you wouldn't want people to mistake for an authentic form of law
In the following passage from his Manual of Political Ethics (1838), Francis Lieber observes (and laments) that when unjust and illegal conduct comes to be known by a name with the word "law"* in it (such as "Lynch law", in the example that he discusses), people more readily accept it and think of it as legitimate than they otherwise would. They may even come to think of it as having the authority of law. In truth, these are as much a form of law as "fool's gold" is a form of gold.
"No offender would hesitate to acknowledge and claim state punishment as his right, if choice were left him between the state punishment, which, because it is state punishment, requires formal trial, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, those summary proceedings against criminals caught in flagrante delicto, which we find in perhaps all early codes, and sometimes acknowledged to a very late period (Blackstone, IV, 308), or to which an excited people sometimes return, when the regular trial appears too slow for their inflamed passions, as has been the case in those riotous and illegal inflictions of death or other punishment, so unfortunately called Lynch law, in our own country. I say, unfortunately called Lynch law, for it is ever to be deplored, if any illegal procedure receives a regular and separate name of its own. By this very application of a technical term it assumes an air of systematised authority, which has an astonishing effect upon the multitude, and in fact upon most men. Give a separate and technically sounding name to a thing, and you take from it much of its harshness for the human ear. Many a member of trade's-unions in Scotland would not have been willing to commit outrages upon the person of his neighbors or even murder, had it not been called slating, or by some other technical term. The same principle applies to errors in science, religion, the arts."
* "Law" is not the only word that has this effect, however.
Do not attach the word "law" to anything that you ...

This indeed proved to be the case, when in September 1938, the qualifications of the Club were brought to the notice of the Government with the suggestion that they could make good use of the specialist experience of the members. This idea was welcomed and put into effect…."

Q: Query table based on users local hour, rather than GMT hour (including daylight savings support) If users want notifications or certain activities triggered based on an hour of the day in their local timezone. You could store each users preferred notification hour in the database, and just poll the table every hour for who wants a notification. But this won't take daylight savings into account. How is this normally solved?
Assuming the user requests 9am EST:

*

*If you convert 9am EST to GMT, and store the GMT hour in the database.  This doesn't work, because that GMT conversion is only valid until daylight savings time.

*If you store 9am EST directly in the table, then you have to query every single row in the table including their timezone and calculate the current time in every row.
Option 2 works, but only for a small database. What is the best way to do this?

A: One option would be to store the hour in GMT, so you can batch/segment the table into 9am, 10am, etc...
Then, every time you do a notification, you recalculate tomorrows time, so that the day before Daylight Savings, not only will the notification be sent, but the hour will be updated in preparation for tomorrow.
The only catch to this solution is that if you have a large segment (i.e. US), then there will be a large bulk update occurring on certain days of the year.

A Landmark Book, October 31, 2003
Reviewer: Nikos Salingaros (see more about me) from San Antonio, TX USA
Review by Nikos A. Salingaros.
PART A. REVIEW FOR ARCHITECTS.
Contemporary architecture is increasingly grounded in science and mathematics. Architectural discourse has shifted radically from the sometimes disorienting Derridean deconstruction, to engaging scientific terms such as fractals, chaos, complexity, nonlinearity, and evolving systems. That's where the architectural action is -- at least for cutting-edge architects and thinkers -- and every practicing architect and student needs to become conversant with these terms and know what they mean. Unfortunately, the vast majority of architecture faculty are unprepared to explain them to students, not having had a scientific education themselves.
Here is an architecture book by an architect/scientist, just in time to help architects in the new millennium. Alexander discusses many of the scientific terms arising in cutting-edge architecture, and explains them to those who don't have scientific training or advanced mathematical knowledge. We find discussions of the evolution of forms; the importance of process in design; iteration; genetic algorithms; sequences of transformations; different levels of scale (i.e. fractals); etc. They are explained here by an architect who is also a scientist, because he wants to change the way architects think and build. Alexander is not merely popularizing other scientists' results and making them accessible to architects: he is in fact presenting new and original scientific work that ties many of these concepts together in a way that will be useful to architects.
Alexander spends many of the 636 pages of this book talking about PROCESS. He describes the sequence of steps leading to a built form, and how each step depends on all previous steps. Alexander distinguishes between good and bad sequences of steps, where the latter are marked by some disruptive discontinuity, and which, as a result, cannot lead to coherent form. It follows that the method of design taught in architecture schools for decades -- "conceive an interesting image in your mind, then impose it onto the environment" -- is wrong. ALEXANDER ARGUES THAT COHERENCE CAN NEVER BE ACHIEVED EXCEPT BY THE SEQUENCE METHOD. Don't forget this is the Alexander who wrote "A Pattern Language", an equally revolutionary book. Therefore, every architect, especially those whose own design methodology clashes with Alexander's ideas, is well advised to become aware of what he says instead of simply dismissing him offhand.
The present volume is the second of four. I believe that, with some effort, it can be read independently from the first volume (not that I am suggesting this, but merely to encourage people to plunge into Volume 2 immediately). This is the one of the four volumes that is most likely to appeal to those who are already interested in and actively working in applying the New Sciences to architecture. I therefore urge innovative architects and architecture students to read this book. In my opinion, it should enlighten everyone's conception of the design process, and help to initiate a reexamination in one's mind of how new ideas for structures and buildings are generated. This book might well influence in a major way how buildings of the future are designed and built, hence how they will look. No-one who thinks deeply and conscientiously about design today should pass it by.
PART B. REVIEW FOR SCIENTISTS.
Alexander is famous in the architectural world, yet he trained in Physics and Mathematics in Cambridge, and was part of the group of scientists who developed systems theory along with Herbert Simon. He has been investigating the interaction between science and architecture all of his life, and the four-volume work "The Nature of Order" contains the results of his researches. Volume 2, in particular, contains the most science. It may surprise many professional scientists that Alexander has managed to conceive of new results by applying architecture to science, surely a development that is as unexpected as it is novel.
This book contains interesting scientific insights. For example, already by page 42, Alexander proposes a radical rethinking of the standard Neo-Darwinian synthesis. He suggests that, based on a broad range of examples, evolving form in any context is driven just as much by intrinsic long-range forces having to do with geometrical configurations, as by the usual random Darwinian selection process. He thus takes suggestions by Stuart Kauffman and Brian Goodwin and develops them into a proto-theory of morphogenesis. It is not complete, and Alexander knows that, but I believe that the evolutionary biology community will get very excited about this idea. He supports his arguments by using phenomenology, and providing a theoretical basis wherever he can. I believe we are going to see a lot of activity, as ideas from this book inspire other authors to try to prove or disprove them. All of that is healthy, and will eventually establish Alexander as a contributor to scientific thinking.
My own favorite part is the discussion of how generative sequences break symmetry: instead of producing identical components (i.e., windows, houses, office blocks, apartments), the same generative process gives rise to similar types of complex objects that are individualized and thus distinct. This helps us to understand natural complexity, where adaptation does indeed produce diversity within the same typology. The underlying problem is how to correlate the different scales in a complex system, hitherto unsolved in any discipline. Therefore, this discussion is of great interest to computer scientists, who are grappling with modularization in software so as to handle the increasing complexity of code.
I am a scientist, and I have profited from Alexander's efforts to understand very deep problems in complexity. The price to pay is having to read through all the architectural examples (which may or may not be of interest to many scientists). Alexander is like a moth circling around fascinating problems. Even when he does not give a solution, his circling in fact identifies the problem, and by approaching it, he gives nontrivial hints towards its eventual solution. And, don't forget that it's the architectural stuff that's going to inspire architects to build a more beautiful world for the rest of us.

Q: Why linux reuses 'time_wait' port? As I know, tcp port in 'time_wait' stat cann't be used. However, in my experiment, server reuses the 'time_wait' port? Why?
Firstly, in client machine, type command ehco 40000 40001 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range. So, the maximum number of TCP ports is 2.
server code
while (1) {
    int len = sizeof(struct sockaddr);
    fd = accept(sfd, &remote, &len);

    read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf));
    close(fd);
}

client code
    for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
    {
        sleep(1);
        pid_t pid = fork();
        if (pid == 0)
        {
            handler();
            exit(0);
        }
    }

 void handler()
 {
      * ............. */

      res = connect(sfd, result->ai_addr, result->ai_addrlen);
      if (res == -1) {
        perror("error");
        exit(1);
      }

      printf("connect\n");
 }

show
[root@livecd ~]# ./client
connect
[root@livecd ~]# connect
connect

It's up to 3 connections. I think, 2 connections at most. Why ?
 server has 2 timewait connections.
[root@livecd ~]# netstat -anp | grep TIME

An aleatory agreement concerns an uncertain event , providing for unequal transfer of value between the parties.
Insurance policies are aleatory contracts because an insured can pay premiums for many years without sustaining a covered loss. Conversely, insureds sometimes pay relatively small premiums for a short period and then receive financial coverage for a substantial loss.


i am sorry to tell you guys that i am leaving.
1. the last clan i was in before i quit ET is gonna restart today.

Good Luck Mystic and Thank You for the kind comment - really means a lot sir!!
Oh darn it you leaving? May the gods treat you well in your journey from here on. It was nice to get to know you dawg, had some great games with ya! Hopefully this isn't last goodbye, by the powers invested in me I pronounce you blessed by da RAMBO.

i will miss you guys, but you don't got annything when i am inactive.
Nice to read that you stay active on the forums, I wish you all the best for the future!

HANCEVILLE – Wallace State Community College's Wellness Center employees are set to host a 20th anniversary open house celebration on Friday, Dec. 7, from 8-10 a.m., serving refreshments and presenting a photo slide show on the facility's history.
Wellness Center instructor Mary Leah Moss and group of senior adult students exercising.
The Wallace State Wellness Center is a focal point on campus in 2012-13 as the college celebrates a Year of the Healthy Campus. Wallace State President Vicki Hawsey has encouraged employees to make health and fitness a priority. "Studies have long shown that healthy employees are more productive employees, so besides wanting our Wallace State family to be healthy because we care about each other's wellbeing, it also make sense from a sound management perspective. Healthy employees miss fewer work days and set good examples for our students on a variety of levels," she said.
The Wellness Center has served Wallace State students and the community since its inception in 1992, when it opened in conjunction with Tom Drake Coliseum. The Wellness Center upgraded four years later, adding a 7,000 foot room full of weight training and cardio training and basketball and volleyball courts.
During the last 20 years, the multi-purpose facility has been the home of all Wallace State physical education courses and has provided students an opportunity to seek degrees in courses for personal benefit and enrichment, while striving to attain a lifestyle of physical fitness and wellness.
"When the Wellness Center opened in 1992, Dr. (James) Bailey wanted it to be a facility that students or citizens from the community could come in and utilize to stay well and stay fit. He wanted the senior adult community to utilize it and people from business and industry to have access to it. His goal was also to reach out to people with heart problems or chronic diseases and for them to come in and be as well as they could be with their heart condition or physical capabilities," said Cynthia Newman, director of the Wallace State Wellness Center.
Meanwhile, Wallace State athletics has benefitted from the facility. It's functioned as the practice location for the cheerleaders, has classrooms that serve as the study hall for the athletes, features additional courts to conduct practice and has been essential in aiding teams when they host summer camps.
Along with the weight room and courts, the Wellness Center offers a Heart Link program to provide strategies to reduce the risk factors for heart disease and restore the health of those diagnosed with heart disease. The physical education courses offered in the building include weight training, general conditioning, aerobics, jogging/walking, scuba diving and slimnastics along with health education and sports medicine classes.
All-in-all, the Wellness Center is synonymous with all aspects of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle.
On most weekday mornings the Wellness Center is filled with occupants working out, ranging from students to senior citizens from the community.
Each semester, a large contingent of senior citizens gathers three times a week at the Wellness Center to exercise and socialize, assembling to participate in workouts and volleyball games.
The senior citizens always have glowing confirmations regarding the significant role the Wellness Center plays in their lives.
"Six weeks ago I fell and hurt my hip badly and was sure I broke it. My son carried me to get an X-ray and the doctor said my bones were in good shape. My doctor asked how I was such in good shape and I told him because I've been attending the Wallace State Wellness Center since 1997, working out and playing volleyball three times a week. He told me to keep doing what I'm doing," said Wanda Carr of Holly Pond.
Wallace State students gain access to the Wellness Center when they register for physical education classes.
Wellness Center registration fees for the general public are $80 per semester for those under 55. Senior citizens can sign up to use the facility for $34 per semester.
The Wellness Center is open Monday-Thursday from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and on Fridays from 7-11 a.m.
For more information call 256.352.8346 or visit wallacestate.edu.

Beth Sholom Congregation is excited to begin its second year as a participant in the "Guess Who's Coming to Shabbas" program. The program involves congregants inviting other congregants to their homes for Shabbat dinners (kosher and non-kosher), and then those guests become hosts (if able) in subsequent months. Reciprocity with the host is not expected. Last year more than 100 Beth Sholom families participated - make sure you are included this year!
If you are interested in hosting or receiving an invitation to someone's home please drop us a note via the email below or call Ivy Mermelstein at 215.947.8885.

Vertluch: Parshas Terumah
This week's parsha discusses the building of the mishkan. The Ramban raises an interesting question. Sefer Bereishis is called sefer Hayetzira (the book of birth) because it contains the creation of the world, the history of the avos and the historic foundation of the universe. Sefer Shemos, however, is referred to as the sefer Hageulah (book of redemption). In reality the geulah was put on hold in parshas Beshalach. The rest of the sefer has nothing to do with the geulah; we have matan Torah, the mishkan, etc…. Why then, would we name the entire sefer after the geulah?
The Ramban answers that while klal Yisroel was in Mitzrayim and enslaved to the Egyptians, there were two distinct types of enslavements. One was a physical enslavement and the other was a spiritual enslavement. Until klal Yisroel actually built the Mishkan they were enslaved spiritually; up until that point, the bnei Yisroel were not on the lofty level that their forefathers had achieved. The avos had the ability to live with the Shechina on a daily basis; we were able to reach that level too, but only once there was a Mishkan. The presence of the Shechina was a permanent presence, and elevated us to the madrega of the avos. It was at that point that we were considered completely liberated from Mitzaryim.
When the Ribono Shel Olam appointed Moshe as the chosen one to lead the bnei Yisroel, he responded by saying why would they believe me? Hashem told him that klal Yisroel had a mesorah that the redeemer was going to use the words 'pakod pakadity'. If he says those words klal Yisroel would know that he is the real redeemer sent from Hashem.
Asks the Ramban, if this was so well known, why wouldn't an imposter get up and say those magic words and have the entire klal Yisroel thinking he is the redeemer?
Reb Shea'la Kutna Zt"l explains that it wasn't the mere fact of saying these two magic words that would make them believe he was the redeemer. The redeemer would have to show signs and promises of redeeming them from both elements of slavery-hence the double loshon in the pasuk. Moshe came and told them that Hashem would take them out of Mitzarayim and then he give the mitzvos, the Torah, etc; he was addressing both aspects of the geulah. The real redeemer had to be willing to save them from both a spiritual and physical destruction.
The level of Shechina in the homes of the Avos was the same in the Mishkan. The Meshech Chochma says that after Eliezer realized that Rivka was the one for Yitzchok, the pasuk says that he bowed to Hashem. However, when he comes into Lavan's house it says 'va'yishtachavu artzah l'Hashem'. Why was there a change in loshon? The reason was that outside there were stones and it was assur to bow on the ground but once he entered Lavan's house he was able to bow fully on the ground. He was teaching us a lesson: we don't bow on the ground when there are items around us that may imply as if we are bowing to anyone other than Hashem.
Comments the Meshech Chochma that this lesson is taught to us by Eliezer and not by the avos themselves because the house of the avos was like the Bais Hamikdash and you were allowed to bow down on the floor! But once Eliezer left their house he couldn't bow on the ground anymore! That's why the lesson had to be taught davka now and davka through Eliezer; it couldn't be taught in the house of the avos because it was permitted to bow there just as it was permitted to do so in the Bais Hamikdash! Such was the atmosphere in the house of the avos.
The lesson we must take from here is that we have to attempt to make our homes a haven where the Shechina is comfortable resting. We must strive, at all costs, to keep our homes a safe haven for Hashem to be comfortable resting in. We must be careful of what we say and read as we try to maintain a certain level of kedusha because we all want the Shechina to reside in our homes.
HAVE A GREAT SHABBOS

Patient participation groups – do they serve any purpose?
Alison Last
MA MCSP
Patient and Public Involvement Manager
South Birmingham PCT
Alison has worked in the NHS since 1979. She trained as a physiotherapist, and worked with people with learning disabilities for many years. During this time, Alison became increasingly interested in all aspects of clinical governance – especially patient involvement and the importance of shaping services around patient opinions. Since 2005, Alison has been Patient and Public Involvement Manager for South Birmingham PCT. Her personal interests include coaching and judging gymnastics, and any remaining spare time is filled by relaxing at home or enjoying evenings and weekends with friends and family
Public participation in decisions regarding the planning and delivery of health services has become a familiar feature of the policy agenda for the NHS over the last decade (see Box 1).
[[PPG_box1a]]
Involvement in healthcare has been indicated as good practice for many years, and therefore increasingly the way that things are to be done. The list in Box 1 cites policy and legislation since 1995, but even before the NHS was created, community participation in hospital governance was encouraged through mass hospital contributory schemes. The historical experience of these "worker governors" is relevant to current debates about member involvement in NHS foundation trusts.
As recently as the Bristol Royal Infirmary Final Report in 2001, the need for "public involvement through empowerment" has been emphasised.1 The report states that "the involvement of the public in the NHS must be embedded in its structures: the perspectives of patients and of the public must be heard and taken into account wherever decisions affecting the provision of healthcare are made."(1)
The NHS needs to change its culture and systems to become truly patient-led, where everything is measured by its impact on patients. It has been asserted that a partnership is "founded on equality and mutual respect", and that there is "no balance of power between the patient and the healthcare professional":(2)
"To understand the system and be able to change it, we have to see it from the patient's point of view. This implies a change of attitude in healthcare … we also have to create a system based on the premises of the consumers. Establishing a patient/relative panel is an example of creating an arena for building partnerships with patients. By combining professional knowledge with systematic input from experienced consumers, the … organisation can get access to valuable knowledge and insight to improve the care for the patients."(2)
Action is required to tackle the barriers that create rigidity and inflexibility in the system, supported by shared values and codes of conduct, and with clinical leadership and greater support of frontline staff through continuous learning.
A patient-led NHS is easy to say, but not so easy to do
The NHS can be much better at listening to, understanding and responding to people. It can take advantage of the rich mix of information that exists about people we serve. Patients are not just the sum of their ailments; they have lifestyles and interests that impact on their health, and health issues that impact on their lifestyles and interests.
Information from patients can be used to help understand better how to shape services to respond to individuals and their lifestyles.
As with so many other NHS policy initiatives, it's important that involvement isn't seen as an add-on, but an integral part of good patient care; not as a new burden, but as a different way of thinking and behaving, where patients have a say – not only in their care (which has been good and common practice for many years), but also in the planning, managing and delivery of NHS care.
Patient and public involvement should be part of everyday practice in the NHS, and must lead to action for improvement. Only then will patients and the public have a greater say in the way the NHS is planned and developed, how it operates and how it can better respond to their needs and expectations.
This is now reflected in the core national standards, which the Healthcare Commission will take into account when they assess NHS healthcare providers.
But do patient participation groups (PPGs) really serve any purpose?
To answer this question, here is the story of one PPG at the Ridgacre Practice in South Birmingham. I spoke to the chair of the group, Pauline Smith, who is a patient at the practice, as well as a GP from the practice, Dr Maurice Conlon.
AL: Pauline, you are the chair of one of the most active and successful patient panels in South Birmingham. How and when did you get started?
PS: Back in 2004, patients of the practice were asked by one of the GPs if we were interested in forming a patient panel. None of us really knew much about what they were, or what it might mean to form one for our practice, but some of us were definitely interested.
We heard about a PPG in Dudley, so we invited them to come and talk to us about their experiences. They really got us fired up when we realised how much of a difference we might be able to make. Even though we know we aren't "medical people", we try to contribute something to the overall process.
AL: What do you now know about the history of patient panels?
PS: Patient panels have been set up to give patients the chance to meet with other patients in their GP practice, to have a voice and to work towards making a difference by sharing their views and experiences of services. Patient panels give patients a "real" voice in deciding how the surgery improves and develops.
Patient panels are now included within one of the patient experience domains within the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF). We have lay assessors within QOF, who visit practices to assess them against a range of standards, including patient experience.
AL: Tell me about the first meeting of your panel.
PS: We talked about what we wanted the panel to look like, and agreed upon the structure and the membership. We wanted to make sure that the practice manager and a GP from the practice were members of the panel as well. We elected officers, and agreed who would be the contact point within the practice for any patients who wanted to join the panel. We then agreed how often we would meet and for how long, so that everyone knew exactly what they were committing themselves to.
AL: How did you agree what you would talk about as a group?
PS: We agreed some basic, standing agenda items, such as: items from GP meetings (new staff, changes taking place, issues, etc); Treasurer's report; suggestions received; our action plan (and progress made on this); and patient survey information.
But we also really wanted to be the communication link between the practice and their patients. We wanted to try and encourage patients to think more and take actions to stay healthier. We also discuss and attempt to resolve various issues and problems, and to make improvements where staff and patients have raised the need for this.
It's not just a talking shop – actions are taken. Specific projects have included: holding a diabetes awareness evening; a men's health awareness evening; afternoon sessions for schoolchildren; and a lifestyle awareness evening. We arrange talks by doctors and other professionals, and have lots of information to give out to people.
MC: These events have been really successful. They have got patients interested in aspects of health promotion, which the practice hasn't achieved in other ways.
AL: How often do you all meet?
PS: Every six weeks, for about two hours. We always used to meet at the practice, but now we meet at another local venue. The practice provided us with a room and refreshments, but we wanted to move offsite recently. We are provided with a very small budget from the practice, which pays for stationery such as postage.
MC: We have always believed that the practice should support the work of the panel, so we are happy to provide refreshments for meetings and pay postage for letters to members when needed.
AL: How many members do you have?
PS: Currently, 12 – some are quite new and others have been involved since the beginning.
AL: Tell me some of the things that have happened because of the panel.
PS: We add information into the practice patient's newsletter; we now have music played quietly in the waiting room, so that consultations can't be overheard by people in the waiting room; we have a suggestion box; and we have been nominated for lots of awards locally!
We have also developed a "call back" leaflet, have worked with the practice to ease car park congestion during clinic times, have helped to endorse new policies in the practice, and have encouraged the practice to buy books for a patients' library and to update its web page.
We have also given presentations to other practices in South Birmingham, encouraging them to set up their own patient panels.
AL: What would you say to any other practice thinking about setting up a panel, or which has a panel that isn't really making a contribution to the success of the practice?
PS: Well, I think it's about making your panel work for your patients and not always thinking it has to be done in a particular way. The panel needs the support of the practice (and at this practice we have one of the GPs and the practice manager attending all our meetings) if it is to really make a difference and to be sustainable.
MC: I think it's important also to note that if it doesn't get going first time around, try again! We didn't get it right first time, and had to have a second go here at this practice. It was definitely worth the effort.
AL: Tell me about the real challenges to being the success you are.
PS: These would be:
Recruiting new members – getting more people involved.
Broadening the panel representation.
Keeping up the momentum.
Making health awareness evenings attractive and beneficial to patients.
Finding and working with other
patient panels.
Supporting the practice in the implementation of primary care trust objectives.
AL: What are the main aspirations for the panel, now that you are established?
PS: To have a more representative and diverse patient panel; to assist other practices in forming patient panels; further health awareness evenings; and to continue to recruit new panel members.
AL: Thank you for telling your story to Management in Practice.
PPGs – do they serve any purpose? Yes, they do! With the right information, support and attitude, a panel can:
Make a real difference.
Shape service planning, management and delivery.
Air concerns and have an impact on how services are run.
Decide together with the practice about how things are done.
Feel valued and listened to.
Understand the challenges faced by the NHS and how difficult decisions are reached.

India's Real Padman : Arunachalam Muruganantham
It all began in 1998, when Arunachalam Muruganantham, the son of poor handloom weavers in South India, realized that his wife was using old rags to deal with menstruation because she couldn't afford sanitary pads. Muruga was shocked. But he also saw a chance to impress her. He decided to produce her sanitary pads himself. At first, it seemed a simple task: he bought a roll of cotton wool and cut it into pieces, the same size as the pads sold in the shops, and then wrapped a thin layer of cotton around it. He presented this homemade prototype pad to his wife and asked her to test it. The feedback she gave him was devastating: his pad was useless and she would rather continue using old rags.
300 million The number of women in India without access to safe menstrual hygiene products
INDIA'S MENSTRUATION MAN
Where did he go wrong? What was the difference between his sanitary pads and those available at the shop? Muruga started experimenting with different materials, but was faced with another problem: he always had to wait a month before his wife could test each new prototype. Muruga needed volunteers and had an idea where he might find them. He asked medical students at a university close to his village. Some of them actually tested his pads but they were too shy to give him detailed feedback. Left with no alternative, he decided to test the sanitary pads himself. He built a uterus using a rubber bladder, filled it with animal blood and fixed it to his hip. A tube led from the artificial uterus to the sanitary pad in his underpants. By pressing the bladder he simulated the menstrual flow.
1 in 5: The number of girls in India who drop out of school due to menstruation.
Unfortunately, he began to smell foul and his clothes were often stained with blood. His neighbors soon noticed this. It was clear to them that Muruga was either ill or perverted. After a while, his wife couldn't stand the constant gossip. She left him and went to live with her mother.
But Muruga didn't give up.Muruga was on a mission: to produce low-cost sanitary pads for all the girls and women in his country.
It was two years before he finally found the right material and another four years before he developed a way to process it. The result was an easy-to-use machine for producing low-cost sanitary pads.Imported machines cost over US$500,000. Muruga's machine, by contrast, is priced at US$950. Muruga's machine has created jobs for women in rural India. He has started a revolution in his own country, selling 1,300 machines to 27 states, and has recently begun exporting them to developing countries all over the world.
Today he is one of India's most well-known social entrepreneurs and TIME magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2014.
Several corporations have offered to buy his machine, but he has refused, instead preferring to sell to women's self-help groups.
This female IPS officer has killed 16 and arrested 64 terrorists in 15 months
As the entire country fights corruption and terrorism these days, the efforts of many dedicated female police officers have come to light. Known as the Iron Lady of Assam, Sanjukta Parashar is one such IPS officer who is making headlines for her commendable work and bravery.
Sanjukta, who is the first woman to be have been appointed as an IPS officer in Assam, has arrested over 64 militants in the last 15 months and set an example for others.
Even while she was in school, Sanjukta was extremely worried about the increasing corruption and terror in Assam; hence, she decided to stay back in her state and work towards these issues despite getting a good rank. She was first sent to Makum, Assam, in 2008, as an Assistant Commandant. However, soon she was transferred to Udalguri in Assam to manage the communal violence between Bodo and illegal Bangladeshi militants. Within 15 months of conducting her operation, she killed nearly 16 militants and arrested 64 of them.
Mother of a four-year-old, Sanjukta recently started an operation in which she jumped into the field herself with the AK47 rifle. In the past few years, she has dedicated herself completely to the Anti-Bodo Militant Operations.
Many a time, Sanjukta goes to relief camps to be with distressed people who have lost their family or house in militant attacks. She is able to spend time with her husband and family only once in two months. The dedication and courage exhibited by Sanjukta to fight terrorism and corruption is exemplary and respectworthy.

sudo sed 's/# deb/deb/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update

Look up inside USC what already is there and check the package name. Examples with VLC and smplayer:
sudo apt-get install vlc
sudo apt-get install smplayer

In the same way of adding software like this you can also remove packages with:
sudo apt-get remove {package_name}

(just be careful to check dependencies first)

PPA for installing nautilus elementary:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

*

*What are PPAs and how do I use them?
(check the answer about adding them command line style).

Themes

Those are either in USC or have a PPA so you can add these with either one of the 2.
For instance I like the equinox themes and I can add them like this:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-equinox

or the Faenza icon sets:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tiheum/equinox
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install faenza-icon-theme

So you gather all the installation instructions that you want to add and put them in your script each on a new line. You can speed things up by removing duplicate entries: sudo apt-get upgrade does not need to be done with every PPA: you can do that after adding all the PPAs but(!) before you install the software from the PPA.

Theoretically you can have 1 of these script files for all Ubuntu installations but you might need to tweak them for every system.
This is my newest attempt to creating a post install script:

What does this do?

*

*update sources list

*remove all directories in my home and create them again in /discworld2/ After that I recreate my home directory directories using symlinks. This way I am able to format my home and keep my files (they are not only on another partition but even on another disc);

*install software I want;

*set power management the way I want it.

*add ppa's I want

After installing I just execute my post_install file and it will run for a long time but it will take care of everything I want (well I will be adding more and more things over time so it will get longer).
I probably can improve it by making compound statements of some of these lines
