The differences between these are subtle, and have to do with scoping.
You can think of function declarations as affecting the scope at compile time, while function expressions gets assigned to a variable at runtime.
If you paste this into your browsers web console, you'll see that even if f() is called before its definition, the code still works.
When you run this in the inspector, you'll get: TypeError: undefined is not a function.
In the first case "f" is added to the scope at compile time and the function definition is ignored at runtime. In the second case, the function expression won't get bound to a variable at compile time, and we get an error since we're trying to treat an undefined variable as a function.
Run this, and you'll see "Second f" in your console, even though the second f() is defined in an unreachable branch of the code.
This will log "First f" to your console when run, since the second function expression is never reached.
In this case modern browsers will use the console for the greeting.
The function expressions with binding identifier ads yet another twist to all of this.
If you try this in the inspector, you'll first see a countdown from 2 to 0 in the console when countdown(2) is called, and then "ReferenceError: count is not defined".
You can try this in the web console of Firefox Nightly where arrow functions are now implemented. The result might surprise you: you'll see first "undefined" and then "42" in the console log.
This will output "42" and "huh" in the console of the current Firefox Nightly.
The funcitions "a" and "b" have the same function bodies and both "typeof a" and "typeof b" will return "function", but yet they behave quite differently when we use apply. The function defined as an arrow function simply ignores the scope argument and sticks to the lexical scope it was defined in.
Functions declared with the arrow syntax also can't be instantiated with "new" and don't have access to the special "arguments" object within their function body.
The way arrow functions behave with regard to this means they're not suited to define methods on an object (where you would want this to point to the object).
To handle this ECMAScript 6 introduces yet another way of declaring a function: MethodDefinitions.
This ought to log "42" to your console if you could somehow run it.
There's obviously no right answer to the question, but personally I tend to stick with function expressions.

The most important weakness of behavioral genetics, though, is simply that research focuses on middle-class families in First World countries. The results might not generalize. Twin and adoption studies almost never look at people in Third World countries. So you shouldn't conclude that Haitian orphans would turn out the same way if raised in Sweden.
Twin and adoption research only show that families have little long-run effect inside the First World. Bringing kids to the First World often saves their lives. Over 13 percent of the children in Malawi–the African nation than initially denied Madonna's petition to adopt a four-year-old orphan–don't survive their first five years. And survival is only the beginning. Life in the First World spares children from hunger, disease, and harsh labor, and opens vast opportunities that most of us take for granted. Merely moving an adult Nigerian to the United States multiplies his wage about fifteen times. Imagine the benefit of giving a Nigerian child an American childhood and an American education.
During the last month, I've delved much more deeply into this subject. As you might expect, there is a sizable literature on the effects of international adoption. The evidence on physical benefits is strong and clear-cut. Toddlers adopted from the Third World are tragically below normal on height, weight, and head circumference on arrival. (d is effect size in standard deviations). Within eight years, however, these adoptees close about 75% of height and weight deficits and about 35% of the head circumference deficit.
But what about intellectual benefits? Average IQs in Third World countries are quite low – mid-to-high 80s for Latin America, mid-80s for the Middle East, low-80s for South Asia, 70s or even lower for sub-Saharan Africa.
Twin and adoption research on young children's intelligence always finds nurture effects. The younger the child, the more parents matter. A team of prominent behavioral geneticists looked at major adoption studies of IQ. They found moderate nurture effects for children, versus none for adults. Suppose an adoptee grows up in a family with a biological child at the 80th percentile of IQ. During his childhood, we should expect the adoptee to have a higher IQ than 58 percent of his peers. Nurture effects were largest for the youngest kids under observation, four-to six-year-olds. An average child of this age raised in a high-IQ home will typically test higher than 63 percent of his peers. Not bad–but it doesn't last.
The upshot is that measuring the IQs of Third World adoptees when they're children isn't very informative. Even if they show large gains, the gains could easily be fleeting. Instead, we should wait and measure those kids' IQs when they're adults.
Suppose you plug in the most commonly-used estimates of IQ by country, assign each of Vinnerjung's "small groups" equal shares of the remainder, and assume international adoptees are average for their home country. Then if they'd stayed in their birth countries, the non-Western adoptees would have a mean IQ of only 84.
So how smart were these non-Western adoptees at maturity (approximately 18 years old)? Let's normalize the scores so overall Swedish IQ is 99 (a typical estimate), with a standard deviation of 15.* Then non-Western adoptees' average score was 88. Four IQs points may sound modest, but it's one of the biggest environmental effects on adult IQ in the literature.
The real magic happens, though, when we look at the breakdown by age of adoption, provided in this companion paper by Odenstad et al.'s "Does Age at Adoption and Geographic Origin Matter?" (Psychological Medicine, 2008).
If you're using international adoption data to test the view that international IQ differences are 100% environmental, the contrasting performance of Korean and non-Korean adoptees is bound to be disturbing. Sure, you can blame all remaining gaps on pre-natal environment. But if equalizing a vast array of post-natal experiences leaves a big gap, what makes you so sure that equalizing pre-natal experiences would make the gap vanish?
If you're using international adoption data to test the view that international IQ differences are 100% genetic, however, the performance of the non-Korean adoptees is powerful testimony to the wonder of First World upbringing. Suppose the earliest adoptees are average for their home country. Then growing up in Sweden raises their adult IQs by .4 SDs – 40% of the huge IQ gap between Sweden and adoptees' countries of origin. And since even the earliest adoptees are likely below-average for their home country, the true gain is probably larger still. International adoption doesn't make international IQ gaps vanish, but it plausibly cuts them in half. And remember – unlike classic childhood interventions like Head Start, the gains last into adulthood instead of fading away. What other viable, lasting treatment for low IQ is even remotely as effective?
* It is somewhat tempting to assume that if all of these kids had stayed with their biological families, the whole sample would look like the 7-9 year-olds – or worse. But we should resist this temptation. Many of the 7-9 year-old non-Koreans probably grew up in hellish orphanages, which seem noticeably worse for IQ than the typical Third World home. Furthermore, late adoptees plausibly had extra developmental problems that partially caused their delayed adoption.
Interesting study. It must be noted however the children put up for adoption are not a random sample of the population. If their biological parents can't take care of them, it's likely that the parents themselves have lower IQs, which we expect them to pass on to the children.
So the finding that it going from a third world to first world country increases IQ by 4 points is likely to be an underestimate. If they had stayed in their home countries, the IQs of those children should have been somewhat lower than 84.
Oops, should've continued reading before I chimed in. Feel free to delete.
I recommend you look for data on Ethiopians that moved to Israel. I do not know if such data exists, but if there is it should be very interesting.
Adoption, by definition leaves out some pretty big environmental influences – prenatal health and nutrition. In lots of these countries, the fetus isn't getting the right kinds of nutrients for brain development, because the mother is malnourished herself. Then you add in nutrition deficits in the first year of life, like iron deficiency anemia, which is extremely common in babies in third world countries.
By the time the child gets adopted out of the Third World by the age of 3 or 4, it's far to late to make up for the deficits in brain development that will have occurred by then.
Can we exclude selection effects on age of adoption, such that kids with lower IQ genotype get adopted later?
In contrast, it seems like international adoptees are probably atypical of typical adoptees. I'm guessing that international adopters get their "pick of the litter"…as in they are most likely to adopt the most alert, sociable and healthy looking babies.
The situation today is very different. Most countries that traditionally allowed a large number of their orphans to be adopted by westerners (South Korea, China, Colombia) have shut down those programs out of nationalist objections to giving away children.
Today, if you are looking to adopt internationally, you are probably going to have to take a child with a disability. In some cases, the disability can be minor and easily repaired (a bone deformity that can be fixed with surgery, for example). In other cases, you have to take a developmentally delayed child or one with a serious disability.
One way potential prenatal effects on IQ could be sorted out would be to look at IQ differences in siblings within families that emigrated from non-western developing countries to western developed countries where some children were born in their home country and others in the developed country. Presumably, the children conceived in the developed countries would have less of a chance of having detrimental prenatal developmental effects. And provided that the children were somewhat close in age, they would have fairly similar rearing environments.
Of course, the families that could manage to emigrate from their home countries to begin with would probably be from higher social classes and likely not have as many prenatal developmental risks to begin with. Maybe something like that could be done on refugee families, which might tend towards lower classes typical of their countries of origin?
@Lincoln, there's another class of people worth looking at: the dreamers vs. their younger American born siblings.
Since America has a lot of undocumented Hispanic immigrants, and most of those immigrants are from the poorest parts of the societies they come from, there's a good chance a lot of the children brought here by illegal immigrant parents suffered various nutritional deficits before coming here.
One could probably also do a similar study on African immigrant kids in Europe.
The current US African-American population has also closed roughly half the IQ gap with the European one compared to its sub-Saharan source population.
This comparable effect is perhaps corroborative of the results you are discussing.
Since it's such a wonderful big effect, when can we expect the happy announcement that you're personally adopting four Sub-Saharan (not Korean!) orphans to complement your own children?

Baie-Verte est un village du comté de Westmorland, au sud-est de la province canadienne du Nouveau-Brunswick. Le village a le statut de DSL.

Toponymie

Baie-Verte est nommé d'après sa position sur la baie éponyme, qui tire son nom des herbes poussant dans l'eau salée, donnant l'impression d'une vaste prairie durant l'été.

Géographie

Baie-Verte est situé au fond de la baie éponyme, au nord de l'isthme de Chignectou et à la frontière avec la Nouvelle-Écosse.

Les principaux cours d'eau sont la rivière Tidnish, qui forme la frontière, et la rivière Gaspareaux, au nord.

Le relief possède quelques collines aux pentes douces. La colline Uniacke mesure environ  de haut.

Le principal hameau est Baie-Verte. À l'ouest se trouve Coburg et au sud Baie Verte Road (Chemin-de-Baie-Verte). À l'extrémité sud du village se trouve Halls Hill, sur la colline du même nom. À l'extrémité est du village, au bord de la Tidnish, se trouve Tidnish Bridge (Pont-de-Tidnish), qui est un village partagé en deux entre la Nouvelle-Écosse et le Nouveau-Brunswick. Il y a également un hameau au sommet de la colline Uniacke.

Géologie
Le sous-sol de Baie-Verte est composé principalement de roches sédimentaires du groupe de Pictou datant du Pennsylvanien (entre 300 et 311 millions d'années).

Histoire

Baie-Verte est situé dans le territoire historique des Micmacs, plus précisément dans le district de Pigtogeoag ag Epegoitnag, aussi appelé Pictou, qui comprend une bonne partie du littoral du détroit de Northumberland, y compris l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard. Ce district, tout comme celui d'Esgigeoag, était sous l'autorité d'Onamag, autrement dit de l'île du Cap-Breton, et n'avait même parfois aucun chef. La carte de Franquet de 1752 note la présence d'un village micmac. Un village micmac important existe vraisemblablement à la fin du  du côté néo-écossais, à Tidnish.

Le fort Gaspareaux est construit en 1751.

Après les Micmacs, les Acadiens fondent un village à Baie-Verte, près du fort Gaspareaux. Le village possède alors l'une des seules routes de ce qui allait devenir le Nouveau-Brunswick. Le village compte également quelques moulins, d'où le nom du ruisseau Mill. Un port permet l'expédition de la production agricole de l'isthme à destination de Québec et plus tard aussi la forteresse de Louisbourg.

En 1755, durant la bataille de Fort Beauséjour, le fort Gaspareaux est également pris.
La population acadienne fut déportée la même année, lors du raid du Capitaine Gilbert. Des colons en provenance de Sackville et du comté de Cumberland viennent ensuite s'établir à partir de 1761. Ces gens fondent ensuite les autres villages des environs, dont Port Elgin. Les Anglais tentent de reconstruire le fort mais il est finalement abandonné.

Le chemin de fer de l'embranchement du Cap-Tourmentin, renommé chemin de fer du Nouveau-Brunswick et de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard, est construit en 1883 de Sackville à Baie-Verte, puis allongé jusqu'à Cap-Tourmentin en décembre 1886, le tout afin de transporter les passagers et les marchandises en provenance ou à destination de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard.

Le chemin de fer du Nouveau-Brunswick et de l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard est abandonné en 1989.

Démographie

D'après le recensement de Statistique Canada, il y avait 387 habitants en 2006, comparativement à 413 en 2001, soit une baisse de 6,3 %. Le village compte 307 logements privés dont 161 occupés par des résidents habituels. Baie-Verte a une superficie de  et une densité de population de 10,8 habitants au km² .

Économie

Entreprise Sud-Est, membre du Réseau Entreprise, a la responsabilité du développement économique.

Fabric as it comes off the loom has various names, most often greige but also greige fabric, gray goods, loom-state fabric.
The etymology of greige is a history lesson. One source said it comes from combining gray and beige. Wiktionary had a more complicated story ... From French grège ("raw (of silk)"), from Italian (seta) greggia ("raw (silk)"), from greggio ("grey"), ultimately from Germanic roots.
When our Fabric comes off the loom it is quite different from the finished Fabric that is tailored into garments. Back in 2013 or so, Debby and I happened to be at Woolrich (the first company that oversaw production of our Fabric), working with Rob Stuart, who is now a WeatherWool Advisor. Our Lynx Pattern greige had just come in from MTL and Rob wanted us to see it. We were shocked that it was, to us, unrecognizable.
The greige is a somewhat stiff, oily (oil is needed by the loom), the colors are quite surprisingly different from finished and the bolt is quite a lot wider than the finished bolt.
There are several steps and some big-time machinery involved in the finishing process. I've watched some of the finishing steps at Woolrich and spent more time with the finishers at American Woolen. I don't understand it, that's for sure. I can say there is a great deal of experience, art and science in action.

Theatre 166 to present 'hauntingly beautiful' musical 'Once' for six shows
Mark Caudill
The latest production from Theatre 166 is described as "hauntingly beautiful" and a "one-of-a-kind theatrical experience."
Winner of eight 2012 Tony Awards including Best Musical, "Once" features an ensemble of actors/musicians who play their own instruments onstage. It's the tale of a Dublin street musician, Guy, who's about to give up on his dream when a beautiful young woman, Girl, takes a sudden interest in his haunting love songs.
Emotionally captivating and theatrically breathtaking, "Once" draws you in from the very first note and never lets go. It's a story about going for your dreams, not living in fear and the power of music to connect all of us.
News:Renaissance Theatre throws preview party for upcoming season of shows
Director Michael Thomas has been a fan of the show since seeing it on Broadway 10 years ago.
"One of the biggest differences between 'Once' and any other musical on the Broadway stage is that its cast is asked not only to sing, act and move, but also to play a musical instrument," he said. "And not just noodle around on it, but play it well."
The cast of 12 actors/musicians includes people from around the country, including Chicago, Nashville and New York City.
Chicago resident plays one of lead roles
Daniella Rukin, who plays Girl, lives in Chicago. She learned about the Mansfield show online.
"I have always loved the play 'Once,''' Rukin said.
The Chicago resident plays piano, just like her character.
"It's a part I've always wanted to do," Rukin said. "I love every musical where you perform with your own instrument on stage.
"I love that it ('Once') is a very natural musical. Every actor in it plays an instrument."
Rukin said she will play Girl with an accent. She noted there is no definitive Czech accent, but she did extensive research to see how people speak in different regions of the country.
She described her character.
"I play a woman who has moved to Dublin from her home in the Czech Republic," Rukin said. "Things haven't worked out for her the way she planned, so she feels pretty lost."

At least until she meets Guy while he is busking.
"I just go over and start talking to him, and we end up in a relationship of sorts," Rukin said. "They end up enriching each other's lives."
She said the relationship lasts for only a few days but offered no details.
"You'll have to come see the show," Rukin said.
She added the music is "beautiful."
"It's not your typical Broadway show. It's not your belters," Rukin said. "It's a lot more folksy."
She says she has thoroughly enjoyed her time in Mansfield, calling it the opposite of Chicago as a smaller town.
Rukin has fallen for the downtown and, "I love that I can park anywhere without having to worry about getting a ticket."
She also has clicked with the cast.
"Musicians just have this way of finding each other and bonding," Rukin said.
Lexington grad portrays Guy
Noah Sgambellone plays the role of Guy.
"He's just recently had his heart broken," Sgambellone said. "He's in the process of just giving up on everything."
That all changes when he meets Girl.
"She shares the same love of music. She kind of rekindles his love for it," Sgambellone said.
The 2019 Lexington graduate has been busy lately. He played a lead role in the recent Renaissance Theatre production of "Spring Awakening."
"The difference between the two shows is like night and day," Sgambellone said. "To go from death and misery to hope and love is interesting. It's a fun transition."
He's also making the transition from the expansive Renaissance Theatre to the intimate Theatre 166, which he appreciates.
"The people that come see it are going to feel more involved with what's going on with the actors," Sgambellone said. "It's almost like a movie."
He plays acoustic guitar in "Once."
Thomas credited Larry Miller and his staff at Metronome Music for their help in that department.
"They have been so generous in lending us instruments and advising us," the director said. "It's impossible to calculate the impact Metronome has had on area musicians for the past 60 years."

Q: Is there a way to decorate graphviz (dot/svg) ouput from pytransitions for dynamically created nodes Consider the "Custom styling" example in cell 11 in this link from the pytransitions github pages. (tweeked code below)
I would like to add a reset event.  When Reset is triggered from most (but not all) other states the model returns to a known state. In this example that is INITIAL.
Doing this for a large digraph creates a lot of clutter, omitting it leads to lack of documentation.
The solution is to add a fake transition:
machine.add_transition("Reset", "* ANY_STATE *", "INITIAL")

So a 'fake' global state fixes the issue, and draws properly. It does not care the state is not defined.
However the styling code example uses the state key of the model but that does not exist as * ANY_STATE * is fake and not in the list of states.
How to style the dynamicaly added state?
Updated example:
class Model:
    pass

model = Model()

transient_states = ['T1', 'T2', 'T3']
target_states = ['G1', 'G2']
fail_states = ['F1', 'F2']
transitions = [['eventA', 'INITIAL', 'T1'], ['eventB', 'INITIAL', 'T2'], ['eventC', 'INITIAL', 'T3'],
               ['success', ['T1', 'T2'], 'G1'], ['defered', 'T3', 'G2'], ['fallback', ['T1', 'T2'], 'T3'],
               ['error', ['T1', 'T2'], 'F1'], ['error', 'T3', 'F2']]

machine = GraphMachine(model, states=transient_states + target_states + fail_states,
                       transitions=transitions, initial='INITIAL', show_conditions=True,
                       use_pygraphviz=False,  ## Jupyter does not work with pygraphviz ##
                       show_state_attributes=True)

machine.machine_attributes['ratio'] = '0.471'
machine.style_attributes['node']['fail'] = {'fillcolor': 'brown1'}
machine.style_attributes['node']['transient'] = {'fillcolor': 'gold'}
machine.style_attributes['node']['target'] = {'fillcolor': 'chartreuse'}

# **** EXTRA LINE ****
machine.add_transition("Reset", "* ANY_STATE *", "INITIAL")

# As before
model.eventC()

# customize node styling - NOTE: id(model) is the dict key
for s in transient_states:
    machine.model_graphs[id(model)].set_node_style(s, 'transient')
for s in target_states:
    machine.model_graphs[id(model)].set_node_style(s, 'target')
for s in fail_states:
    machine.model_graphs[id(model)].set_node_style(s, 'fail')

# draw the whole graph ...
model.get_graph()

A: transitions will just convert the machine's configuration into a graphviz diagram, either via pygraphviz or graphviz. As you mentioned wildcard transitions may clutter a diagram. As you also figured out, transitions will lazily evaluate source and destination states which allows you to add 'virtual' or as you called it 'fake' states. I'd guess at some point you want to actually call 'reset' which would not work with your current configuration. But this is not your question. So let's talk about how to edit the graph. As mentioned before, graphs are just decorated (py)graphviz diagrams under the hood. You can retrieve these diagrams with get_graph and edit them according to your liking. While graphviz graphs are rather simplistic, pygraphviz allows you to query nodes and edges. You need to refer to the documentation of graphviz or pygraphviz to figure out what they can provide and what suits you best.
Adding a node configuration when it is not already defined is rather straight forward. Since you want to use graphviz this is how its done:
g = model.get_graph()
g.node("* ANY_STATE *", label="* ANY_STATE *", **machine.style_attributes['node']['transient'])
g.draw("machine.png")

This will result in a diagram like this:

The Apache® Software Foundation Announces Program and Early Registration Incentives for ApacheCon™ North America
Official Global Conference Series heralds "Tomorrow's Technology Today" with keynotes by David Brin, James Gosling, and Samaira Mehta, plus 40 content tracks from dozens of Apache projects and their communities
Wakefield, MA —5 June 2019— The Apache® Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today the event program and early registration for the North America edition of ApacheCon™, the ASF's official global conference series. ApacheCon North America will take place 9-12 September 2019 at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Early registration incentives end 27 June 2019.
ApacheCon draws attendees from more than 60 countries to experience "Tomorrow's Technology Today" by showcasing key Open Source technologies independent of business interests, corporate biases, or sales pitches.

ApacheCon North America program categories include Big Data, Community, Content Delivery, Geospatial, Graph Processing, Integration, IoT, Machine Learning, Mobile, Observability, and Streaming, among others. Participants learn about Open Source development "The Apache Way", through hands-on sessions, keynotes, real-world case studies, workshops, hackathons, BarCamps, and more in a deliberately intimate, collaborative, vendor-neutral environment.
Dozens of Apache projects will be represented across dedicated categories and project tracks. They include: Accumulo, Arrow, Bahir, Beam, Calcite, Camel, Cassandra, CloudStack, Cordova, Daffodil (incubating) DataSketches (incubating), Doris (incubating), Drill, Druid (incubating), Edgent (incubating), Gobblin (incubating), Hadoop, HBase, HDFS, Heron (incubating), Hive, Hivemall (incubating), HTTP Server, Hudi (Incubating), Iceberg (incubating), Ignite, Kafka, Karaf, Kudu, Lucene, Marvin-AI (incubating), MXNet (incubating), Mynewt, Nemo (Incubating), NiFi, OFBiz, ORC, Ozone, Pinot (incubating), PLC4X, PredictionIO, Pulsar, Rya (incubating), Samza, Spark, TinkerPop, Tomcat, Toree (incubating), Traffic Control, TVM (incubating), Unomi, YARN, and more. The full program is available at https://www.apachecon.com/acna19/schedule.html
Attendees will join The Apache Software Foundation in celebrating its 20th Anniversary with special events and activities, including dynamic discourse with select ASF founders, and keynotes by award-winning author and futurist David Brin, "father of Java" James Gosling, and 10-year-old CoderBunnyz/One Billion Kids Can Code founder Samaira Mehta.
Registration and Deadlines
Early Registration: 27 June. Early bird incentives and additional discounted rates are available for individual participants as well as groups. Sign up at https://apachecon.com/acna19/

Statement by The Apache Software Foundation regarding US Federal Register Notice of non-US affiliates added to Entity List Ruling
Restrictions on exports and reexports to parties named on Entity List specifically apply to activities and transactions subject to the Export Administration Regulation (EAR). [1] Open Source publicly available encryption software source code, as reclassified by the US Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) effective September 20, 2016, is "publicly available" and "published" and is not "subject to the EAR." [2]
Open Source projects involving encryption software source code are still required to send a notice of the URL to BIS and NSA to satisfy the "publicly available" notice requirement in EAR § 742.15(b).
The ASF continues to work with Apache projects and their communities to ensure their notices are up to date and are maintained in the future.[3]
Open Source software, collaboration on Open Source code, attending open telephonic or in person meetings, and providing sponsorship funds are all activities that are not subject to the EAR and therefore should have no impact on our communities.

The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache® Dubbo™ as a Top-Level Project
Popular Open Source Remote Procedure Call framework in use at dozens of companies, including Alibaba Group, China Life, China Telecom, Dangdang, Didi Chuxing, Haier, and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, among others.
Wakefield, MA —20 May 2019— The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today Apache® Dubbo™ as a Top-Level Project (TLP).
Apache Dubbo is a high-performance, Java based RPC (remote procedure call) framework. The project was originally developed at Alibaba and open-sourced in 2011, and entered the Apache Incubator in February 2018.
"This day is not only the success of Apache Dubbo project itself, but also another success of The Apache Way," said Ian Luo, Vice President of Apache Dubbo. "Back to the time when Dubbo started to incubate at The Apache Software Foundation, there was a small number of initial committers to the project, but today the number of the Dubbo committers has increased by five times, and we are proud of having far more contributors in this project by now. It is indeed a great journey."
The Dubbo framework specifies the methods that can be called remotely across distributed and microservice systems. Its primary functionalities are: interface based remote call; fault tolerance and load balancing; and automatic service registration and discovery. Features include:
Transparent interface based RPC – provides high performance interface based RPC, which is transparent to users.
Intelligent load balancing – supports multiple load balancing strategies out of the box, which perceives downstream service status to reduce overall latency and improve system throughput.
Automatic service registration and discovery – supports multiple service registries that can detect service online/offline instantly.
High extensibility – micro-kernel and plugin design ensures that it can easily be extended by third party implementation across core features like protocol, transport, and serialization.
Runtime traffic routing – can be configured at runtime so that traffic can be routed according to different rules, which makes it easy to support features such as blue-green deployment, data center aware routing, etc.
Visualized service governance – provides rich tools for service governance and maintenance such as querying service metadata, health status, and statistics.
Apache Dubbo is in use at more than 150 companies, including Alibaba Group, China Life, China Telecom, Dangdang, Didi Chuxing, Haier, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, NetEase, Qunar, and Youzan, among others.
"Apache Dubbo is one of the most highly visible projects that was open-sourced by Alibaba," said Jiangwei Jiang, Principal Engineer at Alibaba Cloud Intelligence. "Dubbo is widely used in Alibaba and many other companies. It is one of the best designed Open Source frameworks to develop microservices with high-throughput, complicated business logic, and sophisticated governance."
"Congratulations to Dubbo for graduating from the Apache Incubator! Apache Dubbo, as a high-performance service governance framework, plays a crucial role in Didi's evolution of technical architecture," said Donghai Shi, Senior Technical Director at Didi Chuxing. "With the rapid business growth, our application services and business logic grows more and more complicated, we have been facing more and more challenges in R&D efficiency and business stability. Many thanks to Apache Dubbo, which serves as a strong support for our service governance. Based on Apache Dubbo's service governance framework, we can be more practical and determined in building business with microservices."
"Congratulations on Dubbo's promotion to an Apache Top-Level Project. As a core component of service, Dubbo has a profound impact and is one of the best choices for service architecture," said Xiaofan Yu, Architecture of NetEase Cloud Music. "We have learned a lot from Dubbo's design and implementation. I believe that it can develop in a more quick and stable way after graduation and become the cornerstone of future microservice architecture."
"Congratulations to Dubbo for becoming an Apache Top-Level Project," said Ruimin Jin, Technical Director at Youzan Cloud. "Youzan's large-scale microservice cluster is built on Apache Dubbo. Dubbo's outstanding features, flexible design, and extensive experience in the community has helped us to build distributed systems quickly. In the past three years, we have done a lot of service governance based on Dubbo and achieved very good business results. I hope that Apache Dubbo will have more achievements in multi-language in the future, and the Open Source community can also contribute more plugins to Dubbo."
"Qunar.com first chose Apache Dubbo as service infrastructure in 2012 --doing so helped us take fewer detours in the framework selection when we deployed it at scale," said Zhaohui Yu, Former Senior Director, Infrastructure Department, Qunar.com. "Our team was happy to participate in the community by fixing bugs and contributing new features over the years. Congratulations to Dubbo for graduating as an Apache Top-Level Project: it is a great honor for all Dubbo users."
"Congratulations to Dubbo graduating from the Apache Incubator. As a very popular SOA framework, Apache Dubbo forms part of our infrastructure layer to support almost all different business units within Guazi.com," said Haozhi Liu, Principal Architect at Guazi.com. "It also plays an increasingly important role along with our technical transition from PHP to Java. Furthermore, during our process of adopting Apache Dubbo, both the community and Project Management Committee have been very helpful. We truly believe that with this strong community support, Apache Dubbo project will continue to be successful in the future."
"It's both thrilling and an honor to participate in the development of Apache Dubbo," added Luo. "Our journey continues through the excellent efforts of the greater Apache Dubbo community. We welcome additional contributions to the source code, features, documentation, and discussions on the mailing list."
Catch Apache Dubbo in action at the Apache Dubbo MeetUp series (26 May/Beijing, 6 July/Shenzhen, and 17 August/Shanghai), ApacheCon North America (9-12 September/Las Vegas), and ApacheCon Europe (22-24 October/Berlin).

About the Apache Incubator
The Apache Incubator is the entry path for projects and codebases wishing to become part of the efforts at The Apache Software Foundation. All code donations from external organizations and existing external projects seeking to join the ASF enter through the Incubator to: 1) ensure all donations are in accordance with the ASF legal standards; and 2) develop new communities that adhere to our guiding principles. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (AP) - Frank Foster, a jazz saxophonist who played with the Count Basie Orchestra and composed the band's hit, "Shiny Stockings," died Tuesday. He was 82.
Foster died Tuesday morning at his home in Chesapeake, Virginia, of complications from kidney failure, according to Cecilia Foster, his wife of 45 years.
Foster was recognized in 2002 by the National Endowment for the Arts as a Jazz Master, the nation's highest jazz honor . In a statement expressing sadness at Foster's death, NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman called him "an extraordinary saxophonist, composer, arranger, bandleader, and educator."
Landesman added, "We join many others in the jazz community and beyond in mourning his death while celebrating his life."
According to the NEA, Foster's many compositions included material for singers Sarah Vaughan and Frank Sinatra, and a commissioned piece written for jazz orchestra for the 1980 Winter Olympics: "Lake Placid Sui te."
Foster was a native of Cincinnati. He told NEA interviewer Don Ball in 2008 that he "had an ear for music" from an early age. He said his mother took him to hear opera when he was just 6.
Jazz big bands caught his attention when he was 12. Foster's first instrument was clarinet, but at age 13 he took up the sax. Foster told the interviewer he played in a dance band at Wilberforce University and went on to join Basie's band in 1953.
During his 11-year tenure with Basie, Foster not only played tenor saxophone and other woodwinds but also contributed numerous arrangements and compositions for the band, including the jazz standard "Shiny Stockings," Down for the Count," and "Back to the Apple."
After Basie's death, he returned to assume leadership of the Count Basie Orchestra from Thad Jones in 1986. He won two Grammy Awards while leading the band until 1995.
However, Cecelia Foster said he was proudest of his own big band: Frank Foster's Loud M inority. He also played as a sideman in drummer Elvin Jones' combo and co-led a quintet with fellow Basie veteran, saxophonist-flutist Frank Wess.
Foster also served as a musical consultant in the New York City public schools and taught at Queens College and the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Although he was partially paralyzed by a stroke in 2001, Foster's wife said he continued composing "up until the end."
In the NEA interview, Foster said, "I had always had as much fun writing as playing ... But when you play something, if you mess up you can't make it right. But you can write something, and if it's not right you can change it. And I always had as much pleasure writing as playing because the thrill of hearing your music played back to you is almost indescribable."

All my thoughts to the family and Cecilia, his wife. Met mr. Foster few times, once at jazz mobile, teaching the big band concepts. Another time he had a short break with the Basie band and had the opportunity to hear him at a club in long island, in a small unit, his playing was sweet like honey!! But what touched me the most was his smile,a lot of goodness came when looking at you. That. Love never die; patrick p.

OUR GOD IS A GOOD GOD AND TO THE FAMILY I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU.MR.FRANK FOSTER KNEW MUSIC...LISTEN...
LEZERIA MARSH
Dear Cecelia - Although it's been a couple years since I've seen you or Frank, I often think fondly of him when I remember my choir music and singing at St. Paul's UMC. I remember the song he wrote specifically for our choir. He was a great and loving man, and I am honored to have been a very small part of his life. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this grievous time. But remember, we ALL know he is still creating and playing music in the heavens. Love you and many blessings!
Laurie Christensen Lasher
I have been a fan of Count Basie and Frank Foster as long as I can
The greatest band ever, and one of the greatest musicians and writers.
Stu Nichols
Dear Cecilia and Family, I am so sorry for your loss of Frank. Just remember that God holds out a wonderful future for us all, soon Christ will call all those in the memorial tombs and they will return, young and healthy to a beautiful peaceful earth. What a wonderful time to welcome them back to an earth governed and blessed by Jesus rule, "your kingdom come to earth...", - John 5: 28,29 & Matthew 6
I heard Mr.Foster live with Count Basie as well as having the opportunities to play a few of his arrangements. He was a truly remarkable person who will be missed.
Douglas B
Dear Cecilia -
Frank blessed my life - he lit up everything around him with the joy of music. The Scriptures proclaim that we will all gather around the throne and worship together one day - every race, tribe, nation, and tongue - we'll sing together! I can't help but think what a joy Frank is encountering even now - music never before heard on this earth, new ideas, new combinations of sounds - can't wait to sing more of his creations together in the presence of our God.
Holding you in prayer in the meantime!
Deborah Clark
To Miss Cecilia and Family,
In a prayer of Moses to God,he prayed: "Show us just how to count our days in such a way that we may bring a heart of wisdom in."(Psalms 90:12) Mr. Frank used his wisdom in music to entertain all of us. Our prayers are with you.

ALLENTOWN, a city and the county-seat of Lehigh county, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., on the Lehigh river, about 62 m. N.N.W. of Philadelphia. Pop. (1890) 25,228; (1900) 35,416, of whom 2994 were foreign-born, 1065 being of German birth; (1910) 51.913. It is served by the Central of New Jersey, the Lehigh Valley, the Perkiomen (of the Reading system) and the Philadelphia & Reading railways. The city is situated on high ground sloping gently towards the river and commanding diversified views of the surrounding country. Hamilton Street, the principal business thoroughfare, extends over 2 m. from E. to W., and in what was once the centre of the city is Centre Square, in which there is a monument to the memory of the soldiers and sailors who fell in the Civil War. Allentown is the seat of a state homoeopathic hospital for the insane, of the Allentown College for Women (Reformed Church, 1867), and of Muhlenberg College (1867), an Evangelical Lutheran institution which grew out of the Allentown Seminary (established in 1848 and incorporated as the " Allentown Collegiate Institute and Military Academy " in 1864); in 1907 the college had 191 students, of whom 109 were in the Allentown Preparatory School (1904), formerly the academic department of the college and still closely affiliated with it. The surrounding country is well adapted to agriculture, and slate, iron ore, cement rock and limestone are found in the vicinity. Allentown is an important manufacturing centre, and the value of its manufactured products increased 90.9% from 1890 to 1900, and of its factory product 13.2% between 1900 and 1905. In 1905 the city ranked sixth among the cities of the country in the manufacture of silk and silk goods, its most important industry. Other important manufactures are iron and steel, slaughtering and meat-packing products, boots and shoes, cigars, furniture, men's clothing, hosiery and knit goods, jute and jute goods, linen-thread, malt liquors, brick, cement, barbed wire, wire nails and planing-mill products. Allentown's total factory product in 1905 was valued at $16,966,550, of which $3,901,240, or 23%, was the value of silk and silk goods. The municipality owns and operates its water-works. Allentown was first settled in 1751; in 1762 it was laid out as a town by James Allen, the son of a chief-justice of the province, in honour of whose family the city is named; in 1811 it was incorporated as a borough and its name was changed to Northampton; in 1812 it was made the county-seat; in 1838 the present name was again adopted; and in 1867 the first city charter was secured. The silk industry was introduced in 1881.
