The changes needed to add a new feature will vary, of course, but this document provides a general outline of what you may need to do, as well as an example of the specific steps needed to add a new feature: adding a new option to the application that is dynamically synced through the data system in real-time to all browsers the user may have open.
As you read this, you may find you need to learn about Zulip's real-time push system; the real-time push and events documentation has a detailed explanation of how everything works. You may also find it beneficial to read Zulip's architectural overview. Zulip is a web application built using the Django framework, and some of the processes listed in this tutorial, such as database migrations and tests, use Django's tooling.
Zulip's directory structure will also be helpful to review when creating a new feature. Many aspects of the structure will be familiar to Django developers. Visit Django's documentation for more information about how Django projects are typically organized. And finally, the message sending documentation on the additional complexity involved in sending messages.
zerver/models.py: Defines the database model.
zerver/views/realm.py: The view function that implements the API endpoint for editing realm objects.
zerver/lib/actions.py: Contains code for updating and interacting with the database.
zerver/lib/events.py: Ensures that the state Zulip sends to clients is always consistent and correct.
static/templates/settings/organization-permissions-admin.handlebars: defines the structure of the admin permissions page (checkboxes for each organization permission setting).
static/js/settings_org.js: handles organization setting form submission.
static/js/server_events_dispatch.js: handles events coming from the server (ex: pushing an organization change to other open browsers and updating the application's state).
zerver/tests/test_realm.py: end-to-end API tests for updating realm settings.
zerver/tests/test_events.py: tests for possible race bugs in the zerver/lib/events.py implementation.
frontend_tests/casper_tests/10-admin.js: end-to-end tests for the organization admin settings pages.
Update the model: The server accesses the underlying database in zerver/models.py. Add a new field in the appropriate class.
You can read our database migration documentation to learn more about creating and applying database migrations.
Test your changes: Once you've run the migration, flush memcached on your development server (./scripts/setup/flush-memcached) and then restart the development server to avoid interacting with cached objects.
We have a framework that automatically handles many of the steps for the most common types of UserProfile and Realm settings. We refer to this as the property_types framework. However, it is valuable to understand the flow of events even if the property_types framework means you don't have to write much code for a new setting.
Database interaction: Add any necessary code for updating and interacting with the database in zerver/lib/actions.py. It should update the database and send an event announcing the change.
Application state: Modify the fetch_initial_state_data and apply_event functions in zerver/lib/events.py to update the state based on the event you just created.
Backend implementation: Make any other modifications to the backend required for your feature to do what it's supposed to do (this will be unique to the feature you're implementing).
New views: Add any new application views to zproject/urls.py, or update the appropriate existing view in zerver/views/. This includes both views that serve HTML (new pages on Zulip) as well as new API endpoints that serve JSON-formatted data.
Testing: At the very least, add a test of your event data flowing through the system in test_events.py and an API test (e.g. for a Realm setting, in test_realm.py).
CSS: The primary CSS file is static/styles/zulip.css. If your new feature requires UI changes, you may need to add additional CSS to this file.
Testing: There are two types of frontend tests: node-based unit tests and blackbox end-to-end tests. The blackbox tests are run in a headless browser using Casper.js and are located in frontend_tests/casper_tests/. The unit tests use Node's assert module are located in frontend_tests/node_tests/. For more information on writing and running tests, see the testing documentation.
After implementing the new feature, you should document it and update any existing documentation that might be relevant to the new feature. For more information on the kinds of documentation Zulip has, see Documentation.
First, update the database and model to store the new setting. Add a new boolean field, mandatory_topics, to the Realm model in zerver/models.py.
The Realm model also contains an attribute, property_types, which other backend functions use to handle most realm settings without any custom code for the setting (more on this process below). The attribute is a dictionary, where the key is the name of the realm field and the value is the field's type. Add the new field to the property_types dictionary.
The realm authentication_methods attribute is a bitfield and needs additional code for validation and updating.
The allow_message_editing and message_content_edit_limit_seconds fields depend on one another, so they are also handled separately and not included in property_types.
When creating a realm property that is not a boolean, Text or integer field, or when adding a field that is dependent on other fields, do not add the field to the property_types dictionary. The steps below will point out where to write additional code for these cases.
If you run into problems, the Django migration documentation is helpful.
Apply the migration using Django's migrate command: ./manage.py migrate.
Once you've run the migration, restart memcached on your development server (/etc/init.d/memcached restart) and then restart the development server to avoid interacting with cached objects.
Next, we will implement the backend part of this feature. Like typical apps, we will need our backend to update the database and send some response to the client that made the request.
Beyond that, we need to orchestrate notifications about the setting change to other clients (or other users, if you will). Clients find out about settings through two closely related code paths. When a client first contacts the server, the server sends the client its initial state. Subsequently, clients subscribe to "events," which can (among other things) indicate that settings have changed.
For the backend piece, we will need our action to make a call to send_event to send the event to clients that are active. We will also need to modify fetch_initial_state_data so that the new field is passed to clients. See our event system docs for all the gory details.
In zerver/lib/actions.py, the function do_set_realm_property takes in the name of a realm property to update and the value it should have. This function updates the database and triggers an event to notify clients about the change. It uses the field's type, specified in the Realm.property_types dictionary, to validate the type of the value before updating the property; this is primarily an assertion to help catch coding mistakes, not to check for bad user input.
After updating the given realm field, do_set_realm_property creates an 'update' event with the name of the property and the new value. It then calls send_event, passing the event and the list of users whose browser sessions should be notified as the second argument. The latter argument can be a single user (if the setting is a personal one, like time display format), members in a particular stream only or all active users in a realm.
zerver/lib/events.py contains code to ensure that your new setting is included in the data sent down to clients: both when a new client is loaded and when changes happen. This file also automatically handles realm settings in the property_types dictionary, so you would not need to change this file if your setting fits that framework.
The fetch_initial_state_data function is responsible for sending data when a client is loaded (data added to the state here will be available both in page_params in the browser, as well as to API clients like the mobile apps). The apply_event function in zerver/lib/events.py is important for making sure the state is always correct, even in the event of rare race conditions.
For this setting, one won't need to change apply_event since its default code for realm event types handles this case correctly, but for a totally new type of feature, a few lines in that function may be needed.
You'll need to add a parameter for the new field to the update_realm function in zerver/views/realm.py (and add the appropriate mypy type annotation).
If this feature fits the property_types framework and does not require additional validation, this is the only change to make to zerver/views/realm.py.
Text fields or other realm properties that need additional validation can be handled at the beginning of update_realm.
# the entire request can succeed or fail atomically.
The code in update_realm loops through the property_types dictionary and calls do_set_realm_property on any property to be updated from the request.
This completes the backend implementation. A great next step is to write automated backend tests for your new feature.
To test the new setting syncs correctly with the property_types framework, one usually just needs to add a line in each of test_events.py and test_realm.py with a list of values to switch between in the test. In the case of a boolean field, no action is required, because those tests will correctly assume that the only values to test are True and False.
In test_events.py, the function that runs tests for the property_types framework is do_set_realm_property_test, and in test_realm.py, it is do_test_realm_update_api.
One still needs to add a test for whether the setting actually controls the feature it is supposed to control, however (e.g. for this example feature, whether sending a message without a topic fails with the setting enabled).
Visit Zulip's Django testing documentation to learn more about the backend testing framework.
After completing the process of adding a new feature on the back end, you should make the required front end changes: in this case, a checkbox needs to be added to the admin page (and its value added to the data sent back to server when a realm is updated) and the change event needs to be handled on the client.
To add the checkbox to the admin page, modify the relevant template in static/templates/settings/, which can be organization-permissions-admin.handlebars or organization-settings-admin.handlebars (omitted here since it is relatively straightforward).
Then add the new form control in static/js/admin.js.
org_profile: This contains properties for the "organization profile" settings page.
org_settings: This contains properties for the "organization settings" page. Settings belonging to this section generally decide what features should be available to a user like deleting a message, message edit history etc. Our mandatory_topics feature belongs in this section.
org_permissions: This contains properties for the "organization permissions" section. These properties control security controls like who can join the organization and whether normal users can create streams or upload custom emoji.
Once you've determined wheter the new setting belongs, the next step is to find the right subsection of that page to put the setting in. For example in this case of mandatory_topics it will lie in "Message feed" (msg_feed) subsection.
If you're not sure in which section your feature belongs, it's is better to discuss it in the community before implementing it.
When defining the property, you'll also need to specify the property field type (i.e. whether it's a bool, integer or text).
settings_org.get_property_value: This processes the property name when it doesn't match a corresponding key in page_params, and returns the current value of that property, which we can use to compare and set the values of corresponding DOM element.
settings_org.update_dependent_subsettings: This handles settings whose value and state depend on other elements. For example, realm_waiting_period_threshold is only shown for with the right state of realm_create_stream_permission.
Finally, update server_events_dispatch.js to handle related events coming from the server. There is an object, realm_settings, in the function dispatch_normal_event. The keys in this object are setting names and the values are the UI updating functions to run when an event has occurred.
If there is no relevant UI change to make other than in settings page itself, the value should be noop (this is the case for mandatory_topics, since this setting only has an effect on the backend, so no UI updates are required.).
However, if you had written a function to update the UI after a given setting has changed, your function should be referenced in the realm_settings of server_events_dispatch.js. See for example settings_emoji.update_custom_emoji_ui.
Checkboxes and other common input elements handle the UI updates automatically through the logic in settings_org.sync_realm_settings.
The rest of the dispatch_normal_events function updates the state of the application if an update event has occurred on a realm property and runs the associated function to update the application's UI, if necessary.
For organization settings where we have a "save/discard" model, make sure both the "Save" and "Discard changes" buttons are working properly.
If your setting is dependent on another setting, carefully check that both are properly synchronized. For example, the input element for realm_waiting_period_threshold is shown only when we have selected the custom time limit option in the realm_create_stream_permission dropdown.
Do some manual testing for the real-time synchronization of input elements across the browsers and just like "Discard changes" button, check whether dependent settings are synchronized properly (this is easy to do by opening two browser windows to the settings page, and making changes in one while watching the other).
Each subsection has independent "Save" and "Discard changes" buttons, so changes and saving in one subsection shouldn't affect the others.
A great next step is to write front end tests. There are two types of frontend tests: node-based unit tests and Casper end-to-end tests.
Beyond that, you should add any applicable tests that verify the behavior of the setting you just created.
After you add a new view, you should document your feature. This feature adds new functionality that requires messages to have topics if the setting is enabled. A recommended way to document this feature would be to update and/or augment Zulip's user documentation to reflect your changes and additions.
At the very least, this will involve adding (or modifying) a Markdown file documenting the feature to templates/zerver/help/ in the main Zulip server repository, where the source for Zulip's user documentation is stored. For information on writing user documentation, see Zulip's general user guide documentation.


Quitting cigarette smoking may improve processing speed in patients with schizophrenia, according to a study in AJP in Advance. Smoking is highly prevalent among people with schizophrenia, and these findings add another reason to encourage smoking cessation in this population, noted study authors Jentien Vermeulen, M.D., of the Amsterdam Institute for Addiction Research and colleagues.
Vermeulen and colleagues analyzed data from a study that included 1,094 patients with nonaffective psychosis, 1,047 patient siblings without psychosis, and 579 control subjects. As part of this study, participants took part in cognitive tests at baseline and then three and six years after enrollment. Complete cognitive data was available for 916 patients, 947 siblings, and 552 controls.
At baseline, 66.6% of the psychosis patients smoked, compared with 38.3% of the siblings and 25.2% of the control subjects. The authors identified a significant association between smoking and lower performance in tasks related to processing speed, working memory, and/or problem solving in all three groups. For processing speed and problem solving, the deficits were dose-dependent; that is, the more cigarettes smoked per day, the lower the average performance.
Assessments at follow-up visits showed that patients who quit smoking had significant improvements in processing speed compared with those who did not quit smoking; patients who quit gained almost five points on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale digit-symbol coding task. This association was not found in siblings or control subjects.

Q: What makes an effective UI for displaying versioning of structured hierarchical data Traditional version control system are displaying versioning information by grouping Projects->Folders->Files with Tree view on the left and details view on the right, then you will click on each item to look at revision history for that configuration history.
Assuming that I have all the historical versioning information available for a project from Object-oriented model perspective (e.g. classes -> methods -> parameters and etc), what do you think will be the most effective way to present such information in UI so that you can easily navigate and access the snapshot view of the project and also the historical versioning information? Put yourself in the position that you are using a tool like this everyday in your job like you are currently using SVN, SS, Perforce or any VCS system, what will contribute to the usability, productivity and effectiveness of the tool.
I personally find the classical way for display folders and files like above are very restrictive and less effective for displaying deep nested logical models. Assuming that this is a greenfield project and not restricted by specific technology, how do you think I should best approach this?
I am looking for idea and input here to add values to my research project. Feel free to make any suggestions that you think is valuable.

To give more info, an average configuration item, take a method will be nested in about 6 levels (project->assembly->module->namespace->type->method, and more levels to navigate to child items within it) and this is consistently the case, not like in folder-file structure where you occasionally in some project has deep nested structure. When you have that many levels, tree pane becomes unusable to navigate. IMHO, Tree pane also less effective in this scenario to present overall structure of the system.

A: How about a variation on a stem and leaf plot?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemplot
This is a concept from statistics, but you could augment the traditional tree structure adding a list of versions to the right of each file in the tree. With proper alignment, I think this might be a visually expressive and usable solution. Something like this:
* Root Directory
    * Sub Directory A
        * File A.A     | 1 2 3
        * File A.B     | 1 2
    * File A           | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
    * File B           | 1 2 3 4 5

The stem and leaf plot gives a visual indication of how many times a file has been revised along with quick access to viewing (editing, etc) and versions.
It is likely this would be just one view on the data. You would still be encumbered by the nested structure, but if you have to live with that, perhaps this would help.

A: Rather than trying to select one presentation scheme for fitting n levels of informations in a GUI, why not let the user choose the right level of details he/she wants or needs?
Perspectives
Eclipse is one example (not the only one) allowing for the user to define perspectives.

Within the workbench the Perspective feature is used to control the visibility of items in the model and the user interface.
  It controls what you see in the model (which project, folder or files) and what you see in the user interface (which actions or views).
  These controls make it possible to navigate through and modify the workspace in a way which suits the user task.

Perspectives can easily be adapted for any kind of hierarchical information display.

Information filtering per task
Another effective way to display complex informations is to propose an effective filtering mechanism, based on the current task.
Each time the user switch to a new task, the various information trees display just the relevant information.
See Mylyn for instance:

Mylyn makes tasks a first class part of the IDE, integrates rich and offline editing for ALM tools, and monitors your programming activity to create a "task context" that focuses your workspace and automatically links all relevant artifacts to the task-at-hand.
  This puts the information you need at your fingertips and improves productivity by reducing information overload, facilitating multitasking and easing the sharing of expertise.

Again, that can be applied to any kind of informations.

A: If you are nesting 6 levels, you're probably artificially mixing multiple concerns. See below for the 5D model. It looks like you should be using namespace-class-method as the
basic navigation model. You are at least mixing code structure with its organisation on disk (files and folders) and the mapping to variants. Smalltalk IDEs like Pharo provide a set of code browsers making navigation easy along a few dimensions, and provide a browser construction kit Glamour to make your own for other navigation dimensions.
You'll want to take a look at the work done by Richard Wettel.
Something similar to Codecity. Using OpenGL to create a 3- and 4D (time) display of the development history of a project. It is part of the research in software reengineering MOOSE.
For your research you might want to use the 5 dimensional model for this:

*

*version (wanting to change)

*status (life cycle: creating, testing, deploying, retiring)

*view (requirement, code, test, documentation)

*hierarchy (module, class, method)

*variant (largely similar, describing the differences, product families)

Most systems only handle a few of these dimensions. To handle all five, you have to describe (fix) your development process. If you do, you can describe the use cases you want to support in your UI. If not, you need a 5-dimensional flexible display engine. That will not be as easy to use.

A: Hmm, I would start with silo, vertical cylinders, for each branch: dev, release, will have one or more here.  You should visually place versions that were historically committed that silo in it.  Between those versions you would have any number of other changes that eventually loop back.
Along each loop there are commit points outside of the silo with x number of changes.  Visualize them logically flattened as fruit hanging down, it will be a bit of a muddled mess from the high level but the texture, color, pattern, size of the fruit would give you a sense of what happened.  Also hovering over the fruit will provide whatever comments were made with the commit.
Then click on the stem of the fruit and here you flip the view around into several styles, but rather than navigating the hierarchy to the change, use the change to navigate the hierarchy.  Big space on the left with little hiearchy space on the right.  Hovering over changes will zip around the hierarchy.  Click the change and the hierarchy is frozen and then you can click the hierarchy and you go to the silo view again but this time with the file/function/whatever being the only thing shown.
---EDIT---
Here is a sketch of kind of what I was thinking.  My idea is based on using Mercurial as a source control repository.  For me at least it would be more interesting to get a sense of the sorts of changes made in each revision, an idea which may not mesh with what you were shooting for.  By looking at the sorts of changes the repository should be able to characterize and quantify what was changed, something more essential I think than what files were changed.  The little dots would just be code changed within the method itself or possibly additions of private methods to a class.  When you zoom in on a fruit it will fill the space and the trunks will disappear or fade to a dim watermark or some such.
Hope this crude sketch conveys my idea a bit better.

A: If you want to be able to quickly find where the code has been modified, you could use a graphical representation, going to the tree-like representation (such as the one presented by mcliedtk) only when selecting an element that is suffisantly low-level (namespace, or type).
for each element, from the lower level to the upper one, calculate a % of modification :

*

*for a method or attribute : 100% if created/modified/deleted, 0% otherwise

*for a class : mean of all included elements (method or attribute), or 100% if created/deleted

*same thing for higher elements (100% if created/deleted, mean of components otherwise).

now you have to have to get a representation that is show the hierarchical structure.
you can (for exemple) use a radial one :
the project is at the center (ie a circle). assembly are presented as a ring around, with each assebly taking the same space. a third level ring represent the modules, each module taking the same space for its assembly (ie if ther is 4 assembly, each one get 90°, and if an assembly has 3 module, each module get 1/3 of those 90°), and so on. each element get a color mapped from its % of modification (0% = green = no modification, >85% = red = heavey modification)
An exemple could be like http://www.neoformix.com/2006/BB_TopicRadialTreemapImages.png or http://www.datavisualization.ch/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/stacked_wedge_01.png
On the pro-side, you can quikly see where modification occured, and at which level.
on the minus side, this gives modification since a reference date, and a file modified once or twice is the same as a file modified 10 time. You may also have to add tooltips to facilitate navigation, as 6 level may quickly become unreadalble (but then you can display only the 4 of 5  higher levels...)

The OCamlScripting project is discontinued, but its codebase has been merged into the Cadmium project.
OCamlScripting is an implementation of the Java JSR223 Scripting API (this API is implemented by the javax.script package) for the Objective Caml language. It thus provides a script engine that allows execution of Objective Caml code snippets in a Java application (it does so through a modified toplevel).

Apparently we at Real Pickles are in on a hip, hot, and exciting trend. Judging by the release of TWO excellent (and beautiful) pickle books in recent months, there is no shortage of things to say about pickling of all kinds, fermented or otherwise. We are also proud to report that Real Pickles is recognized in both! The Art of Fermentation (Chelsea Green Publishing) is the 9-year follow up to Sandor Ellix Katz's wildly popular Wild Fermentation. Many ferments and workshops later, Katz offers this incredibly articulate and comprehensive volume on fermentation of food. Andrea Chesman's The Pickled Pantry: From Apples to Zucchini, 150 recipes for Pickles, Relishes, Chutney & More (Storey Publishing) is a fantastically thorough reference for making pickles of all kinds, with recipes for making the pickles themselves as well as recipes for using finished pickles in other dishes.
Both of these resources are essential additions to the available literature on pickle-making and fermentation. We have always enjoyed – and refer frequently to – the standard volumes on lacto-fermentation of vegetables, such as Katz's Wild Fermentation (2003, Chelsea Green), Sally Fallon's Nourishing Traditions (1999, New Trends), Making Sauerkraut & Pickled Vegetables at Home by Klaus Kaufman and Annelies Shoneck (1997, Alive Books), and Preserving Food Without Freezing or Canning (1999, Chelsea Green). The new treasuries not only add to the existing authorities, but spring far ahead in depth and breadth. Here at Real Pickles, both copies are under constant perusal during lunch and break times and are beginning to show loving dog-ears and signs of use.
The Art of Fermentation provides an excellent account of the history of fermentation as well as its prevalence and pervasiveness in our modern diet. As in his previous Wild Fermentation, Katz's new book also seeks to engage and encourage each reader to set down their bacterial fears and embark on a cultural adventure. As Michael Pollan remarks in the foreword, "To ferment your own food is to lodge an eloquent protest—of the senses—against the homogenization of flavors and food experiences now rolling like a great, undifferentiated lawn across the globe." In addition to the book's breadth of information, the photos will delight even the casual peruser, from scanning electron microscopy images to the latest in kombucha fiber fashion. But for fermentation enthusiasts, as we consider ourselves here at Real Pickles, the book is an excellent reference for putting up a broad array of fermented products. Our fermentation manager, Katie, was so excited about The Art that she slept with the book under her pillow for the first week to maximize osmotic potential. She just couldn't put it down. She says, "I love that it doesn't read like a cookbook…that it is history, stories, science and just so much amazing information!" Katz's new compendium also boasts a one-of-a-kind chapter on commercial enterprises, well representing our end of Wells Street here in Greenfield, MA with input from both Dan at Real Pickles and Will from Katalyst Kombucha. Dan is consulted for his expertise on scaling up, marketing, and consumer education.
The Pickled Pantry: From Apples to Zucchini, 150 recipes for Pickles, Relishes, Chutney & More is a comprehensive new cookbook on pickles of all kinds. Chesman starts with the fundamentals, necessary equipment, basic ingredients, and delves into pickle recipes both common and surprising. Her section on fermented pickles is particularly good. Along the way, she peppers the read with anecdotes and profiles of other picklers. Real Pickles is the subject of one of the featured profiles, telling the story of our first decade in business. Chesman also includes many delicious-sounding recipes in which to enjoy your finished pickles. Personally, I am very excited by the recipes in the back of Pickled Pantry. As soon as the pickle season slows down a bit, I will be cooking up such tasty dishes as Roasted and Braised Duck with Sauerkraut and Root Vegetables, Kimchi Rice Salad with Tofu, and may even try the intriguing German Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake(!). Clearly, Chesman has a lifetime of experimentation and successful meals behind her – and I am so looking forward to benefiting!
For those interested in DIY pickle-making and home ferments, these books will fascinate and educate, no matter your pickle proficiency. But these publications also represent a growing focus on – and resurgence of – pickles and fermented foods. Now that we have industrial food and refrigerated trucks, pickles and ferments could be viewed as a relict of a simpler time, replaced by a year-round supply of food imported from anywhere. Except that, as both Katz and Chesman emphasize over and over, ferments and pickles expand the range of our palate, creating the strong flavors that we both crave and despise. Often, the fermented product is tastier and more nutritious than the original fresh ingredients.
Some fermented foods already command the attention of foodies across the globe: Encyclopedic tomes are written on the wide-ranging flavors and terroir of wine and cheese – and other ferments are gaining the recognition they deserve. We'll know that pickles have earned their rightful place when soils known for growing great cabbage increase property values or when the local grocery starts hosting successful weekly pickle tastings.
Growing pickle popularity also makes us a happier population because pickles make us laugh. I'm serious! Try inserting the word "pickle" into any sentence and you are guaranteed a chuckle. But no joke: People are excited about fermented foods, and the momentum is growing. Creating ferments brings us face to face with the chemistry and microbiology of what we eat, which can be simultaneously unnerving and compelling. When a mason jar is popping and fizzing and whining on your kitchen counter, you know that you are not the only living thing in the room.
Fermentation is surprising, creative, exotic, fun, scientific, and delicious. I invite you to embark on a sour journey, use these books as your guide, open your mind and your mouth, and dig into the vast and growing world of pickles. Send us a postcard!

Q: Why is the event handler called with different parameters when added in Glade vs. in code? Below are 4 files:
Case #1: example1.py using example1.glade.
Case #2: example2.py using example2.glade.
To see the output in both cases, the steps are the same for each case. Just click on the multiline label or on the link button after opening one of these programs, and the output will be shown in the terminal.

Arguments for the 2nd case:

*

*Gtk.LinkButton

I want to comprehend the reasons behind the differences between the output in these 2 cases.
I use Python 2.7.13 and GTK+ 3.22 on MSYS2 on Windows 10. Both MSYS2 and Windows have all the available updates installed.

A: The second glade file has an object attribute to the signal element, which is the equivalent of using g_signal_connect_object() instead of g_signal_connect() in C. It passes the given object (the link button) as the first  parameter to the signal handler.

Crystal Palace Library of Things !
Hello pledgers, supporters and soon to be Thing-borrowers !
We have very exciting news !
The Crystal Palace Library of Things that you all supported with your pledges is coming your way. Since the successful crowd-funding campaign where you all played such an important part, we have made a lot of significant progress in the lead up to our launch this April !
The most exciting new development is that the two-way partnership between Upper Norwood Library Hub and Crystal Palace Transition Town has become a three-way partnership, – with the dynamic team from Library of Things coming on board in a major role to co-deliver the services and systems !
We all feel this is a real win-win for the project, with the Library of Things bringing their experience of running the West Norwood project and developing other projects, plus their plans to create a ground-breaking and innovative version of Library of Things in Crystal Palace.
Alongside the Transition Town's strong experience in building local sustainable projects such as the prize-winning Crystal Palace Food Market, and the Library Hub as a vibrant and active location, we think we're on a winner! This will be the first library in the country to host a Library of Things !
We also really appreciate our support from the Mayor's Fund For London, Barclays' Lifeskills Fund, B&Q Sydenham and Martin & Co. Crystal Palace.
However the most important partner is you - and it was your brilliant support throughout the crowdfunding campaign that made this happen. You can now stay in touch with our updates, events and news of the affordable borrowing service by signing up to our new CP Library of Things newsletter
So what's been happening in the last couple of months?
In early Feb, Library of Things directors, Sophia & Emma, did a walk-through of the space with Emily from Upper Norwood Library Hub and Joe from Crystal Palace Transition Town, measuring and zoning the areas where our Things will be housed.
The Library of Things team also hosted a packaging 'hack' along with representatives from DHL and eBay to work on designing some beautiful and practical packaging for the Things.
On Sunday 25th February we were on both floors in the Library. Downstairs we were designing how the space will be laid out alongside our designers, Cindy and Mike from Unit Lab, and Pett from Norville's coffee :
Upstairs, the Crystal Palace Library of Things ran it's first Restart Party - a really successful event where over 60 people came together to fix electronic items with the support of local fixers !
Big shout to Alys, Ollie and Joe for organising this event and to the fantastic gathering of local fixers and volunteers who made it so successful on the day ! You're welcome to join our new and growing Crystal Palace Fixers facebook group !
We will be running lots more events to support your borrowing, including more Restart Parties, mending meet-ups and much more!
And of course behind the scenes we've all been busying away with designs, spreadsheets, emails, sourcing things, software, hardware, communication systems and much more to get everything in place.
Fancy help making it happen?
We have some very exciting and interesting volunteering opportunities coming up, - as Hosts, Thing Fixers, Ambassadors and Skill Sharers. Come along to our Volunteer Night on Tuesday 27th March to Upper Norwood Library Hub 6.30 - 8.30pm to find out more and meet the team !
By the way, we still have a small amount of pledged money that didn't come in - you can also help us with that by checking that your pledge went through and checking your inbox for an email from "Go Cardless". Drop us an email if you want to check anything about this.
You can also help by sharing this link on Facebook, Twitter and through your contacts to let everyone know we're coming soon !
So as I think you can tell we are very excited that you will be able to come in and borrow items from late April ! Signing up for our newsletter will also mean that you can get advance notification of how to borrow!
Very best wishes from everyone at Crystal Palace Library of Things and hope to see you very soon !

The Christmas Palace Local Shopping Challenge !
Here at Christmas Palace Transition Town, we like to keep it local. We are proud of the exciting range of independent shops and businesses we have, and as we know things are getting more challenging, any initiative that encourages people to shop locally is good by us.
In the past, as well as supporting local businesses whenever we can, we've published a "local and fair" shopping directory and took part in "Small Business Saturday". Other transition towns have also tried different approaches, including the well-known Totnes Pound, Bristol Pound and our local Brixton Pound plus Transition Dorking got Mary Portas to come along and launch their "Golden Ticket" idea.
So that's why when we found out about Holly Smith's initiative we wanted to give it a big plug. Holly tells us:
"So basically my boyfriend and I set ourselves the challenge of buying all our presents locally this year, and then I thought it would be great to encourage others to do the same! So I set up a Facebook event for it. So far I've just been chatting to local businesses and making sure they know about it but in the next few weeks I'm going to start posting pics from local shops of all the stuff they have for sale, promoting products that people might not know about. "
The Crystal Palace Local Christmas Shopping Challenge:
This Christmas, can you commit to buying 5 presents from our brilliant local businesses? What about 10? Or can you go all in and pledge to buy ALL your presents close to home?
Why not join Holly's Crystal Palace Local Shopping Challenge Facebook event and share your gift ideas with others in the run-up to Christmas? Share the event with friends, and stay tuned to the event page to see more of what's on offer from shops in Crystal Palace!
Annual Celebration is featured on national transition website!
We were really exited when Joe was asked to write up his story of our annual celebration. Rob Hopkins asked Joe to sum up what is different about the way we do things.
"For all the talk of declining resources, it feels like our most important resource is our people. And when members connect with each other at an event like this, the whole Transition Town gets stronger. To know you are part of a bigger vision can make those Saturday mornings in the rain giving out fliers a little easier.
We like to keep our feet on the ground in Crystal Palace Transition Town. But I would say that by the end of the 2014 Annual Celebration each person who came along went away feeling they were part of something happening, something that was bigger than themselves. Something worth celebrating".
To read more about how we do things, do-ocracy, the dangers of spin and our novel way of keeping the meeting running on time, check out Joe's blog here: How We Celebrate Crystal Palace Transition Town.
Time Travelling with Crystal Palace Transition Town: Episode 1
It's impossible to sum up everything that's happened in one blog. So I thought I'd do a quick bit of time-travelling instead.
Some people gather in a church hall. Someone called Andy is talking. I sit near the edge. Near the door. I recognise a few people from the screening a few months before. Apparently a Transition Town is a community response to the challenge of climate change, something called "peak oil" and economic challenges. Very admirable. I have always wanted to do something about the environment. Always talking about it, never doing anything. Then Andy says that a number of the people in the core group had moved on or got too busy so we are now the steering group.
"Sorry? We're in charge?"
"I don't even know these people. Can we not just watch another video, this sounds too hard."

India has launched 328 satellites from 33 different countries till date
India News Network | Febrary 10
ISRO is striving towards achieving Atmanirbharta in the field of capacity development in launching satellites
Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Wednesday said that 328 satellites from 33 different countries have been launched by India and the revenue earned till date is 25 million US dollars and 189 million Euros.
In a written reply to Lok Sabha, Singh said that Rs 900 crore was allocated to the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) for the financial year 2020-21 for developing capacity for the launching of satellites.
Moreover, the Government of India has established New Space India Limited (NSIL), a public sector undertaking (PSU) under the Department of Space to commercially launch satellites and become financially self-reliant.
"ISRO is striving towards achieving Atmanirbharta in the field of capacity development in launching satellites; therefore, no policy is envisaged for seeking foreign cooperation in this direction," said the Department of Space in a release.
In another related question, Jitendra Singh said that ISRO facilities are extended to Indian industries and academia for testing their space systems.
Satellites from M/s. Space Kidz India and M/s. Syzygy Space Technologies has undergone testing at UR Rao Satellite Centre, ISRO.
He said that the participation of the private sector in space activities in India is expected to result in the development of cutting edge technologies, new applications and services.
The Minister said that the Government of India has analyzed the issues and concerns about national security while allowing Private companies to participate in space activities and appropriate measures have been taken by means of establishing the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Center (IN-SPACe), an independent nodal agency to authorize, monitor and regulate space activities in the country.
Besides, in a recent update, it has been revealed that ISRO PSLV-C51 is planning to launch Brazil's Amazonia-1 as the primary satellite and 20 co-passenger satellites aboard PSLV-C51.
This will be the 53rd mission of PSLV and liftoff will occur from Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota. The launch is tentatively scheduled for February 28.

Freedom Press and Bookshop in Whitechapel, London, was firebombed on the weekend. We went down there yesterday to survey the damage and offer a little support.
This is in fact the second time the bookshop has been attacked. In March 1993 it was firebombed by the neo-nazi group Combat 18 (1 and 8 being the positions of Hitler's initials in the alphabet – although universally ignorant of history, it seems some fascists can actually read). This time, no-one has so far claimed responsibility. No-one was injured in the attack.
Apart from being our favourite anarchist bookshop, Freedom Press also provides a home for other grass roots organisations including Corporate Watch, Solidarity Federation, Advisory Service for Squatters and the London Campaign Against Poverty. The newspaper and original printing press dates back to the 1880's, and has a long history of involvement in local struggles as well as international solidarity campaigns.
To support Freedom, make a donation or take out a subscription. Rebel Technology will shortly be auctioning a few modules to help raise funds.

Since, each organization has their own outlines and each lesson will need to be specified to the individual class members and there are already amazing outlines that can be used for guidance, I am only going to share some general ideas that can just be used as supplements.
There are so many topics to choose from this month. I am just giving supplemental ideas to a few of them. Please refer to the church's website for the wonderful outlines they have for all of the topics, see links below.
How can I develop Christlike love? Before class write on the board each member of the classes name. During class give each Young Women a paper heart (see printable below). Invite each young women to place their heart next to their name on the board. Play the video: Good Shepherd. Explain that our Savior and our Heavenly Father know each of us by name. They love us just as the good shepherd love each one of his sheep. Have the young women look at the board that has the class member's names and the hearts placed next to the ones that are there. Explain that Christ love is unconditional. Discuss with the Young women how they can develop Christlike love and what they can do to show Christlike love to their classmates who are not in attendance.
How can I be more Christlike in my service to others? Play the video: Opportunities to Do Good. Discuss with the young women how they can pray for opportunities to serve others and how to listen to the promptings given to them. Invite each young women to write on the board a way they could serve someone.
How can I serve others?
How can I invite others to become more like the Savior? Play the short video clip: "Examples in Ministering". When the movie is over ask the class to share examples of how the movie said Christ, ministered? Ask each class member to take a minute and think about someone they would like to share the gospel with.
How can I show love for those I teach? The week before ask the youth to come prepared the following week with a thought from a prophet of a scripture that speaks about Christlike love. (send them a reminder the Saturday before class) At the beginning of class invite each member to share their thoughts and discuss the scripture or thought they brought. Have them give examples of a teacher that taught with love and how that method of teaching helped the students learn.
How did the Savior compare gospel truths to familiar objects and experiences? See ideas by following link. This would be a great lesson to discuss the most recent General Conference. The stories that were shared and what they learned and why that particular story was shared.
How can I use the scriptures to help others become more Christlike? See ideas by following link. Begin class by sharing one of your favorite scripture stories of the Savior. Then invite class members to share their favorites.
How can I use questions effectively as I teach? See ideas by following link. The video, "Follow-up Questions" might be a good one to share.
What can I learn about gospel learning from the Savior's example? See ideas by following link. There are great suggestions as always on the "Come Follow Me" website.
Here is a link to the Youth Activities Planning Site.
For previous post of "Come Follow Me" ideas click here.
Thank you so much for this. My husband and I are new youth Sunday School teachers and we're a little bit nervous. This helps us out a great deal.

Wheat export through port rises as Atlanta fosters role as logistics hub
Georgia's port in Brunswick is benefiting from a rise in the export of Georgia-grown wheat to Mexico, and the first vessel of the season sailed from Brunswick Thursday. Georgia farmers have bet heavy on wheat this year. The idea that Atlanta has an interest in Georgia's wheat exports through a state port is fueled in part by Mayor Kasim Reed. Reed has linked Atlanta's stature as a global logistics hub with a seaport capable of handling the world's largest cargo vessels. To read ...more
Army corps installs new Savannah commander who will guide harbor deepening project, two ports
The Army colonel who will take over the Savannah district Friday, and the sensitive task of the harbor deepening project, brings a wealth of experience managing complex engineering scenarios, according to his military resume. The change in command is a routine event, but it comes at a sensitive time. Federal funding for the planned harbor deepening project hangs in the balance, even as Georgia has committed $230 million toward the project.

DeKalb County's interim CEO: Works with Republicans, funded by Democrats, educated as a cleric
The Democrat chosen by Gov. Nathan Deal to serve as interim CEO of DeKalb County wrote a piece with a Republican colleague that appeared last week on Shirley Franklin's website calling for the position of CEO – and DeKalb's entire form of government – to be eliminated. Although DeKalb County Commissioner Lee May will reach across the aisle, he has strong backing from the state's leading Democrats. Former Gov. Roy Barnes' law firm contributed to May's 2012 reelection campaign, along with ...more

Xylella in Apulia: review finds no evidence of multiple types
There is no proof that multiple types of Xylella fastidiosa are present in Apulia, southern Italy, according to recently available scientific evidence examined by EFSA.
The opinion from EFSA's Panel on Plant Health is the last of three outputs addressing a number of questions from the European Commission on X. fastidiosa in Apulia. In this one the Panel addresses the question of whether different types of X. fastidiosa exist in Apulia, where a disease outbreak is affecting olive trees and other plants.
A single study raised the possibility that multiple genetic types of X. fastidiosa are present in the area. However, EFSA's plant health specialists say there is currently no evidence to support this hypothesis.
To reach its conclusion, the Panel reviewed the latest scientific literature and analysed DNA sequencing data retrieved from samples collected in Apulia. All the papers concluded that DNA samples collected from olive trees and other plants belong to the same sequence type, called "ST53".
For the sequence data analysis, the Panel used a dedicated database established in 2005 that contains the DNA sequences of nearly 300 X. fastidiosa samples. The Panel highlights that further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to provide more comprehensive answers on this issue. These should include an analysis of complete X. fastidiosa genome sequencing.

In 1935, Congress enacted the Social Security Act to help states like Pennsylvania provide better assistance for those in need. While best known for the aid it provides to senior citizens, the Social Security Act also includes provisions for younger Americans who are unable to work for a variety of reasons. And if you are being denied those benefits, you need to reach out the attorney Joel Kofsky.
His legal team is made up of the best social security disability attorneys in Pennsylvania, and they are ready to help you collect the benefits you deserve.
Many people are very reluctant to apply for these social security benefits because the approval process can seem quite daunting. Others are slow to apply because of their concerns about a perceived social stigma. While certainly understandable, it is important to recognize that these benefits exist for a good reason. If a physical or mental disability deprives you or a loved one of the ability to work, social security disability benefits can ensure that you and your family can adequately meet your needs.
Joel J. Kofsky, the best disability attorney in Pennsylvania, has devoted his legal career to helping earnest Americans like you receive the compensation they need and deserve. If you or a loved one are dealing with a disability that restricts your ability to do your job, attorney Kofsky wants to offer you the necessary background information that can help you figure out if you can build a case for receiving social security disability benefits in Pennsylvania. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to consult Joel J. Kofsky, Philadelphias premier social security attorney.
Top Ranked SSD attorneys in PA Will Help You Qualify for Benefits?
According to the Social Security Administration, a sizable percentage of Americans will become disabled before they can retire from their jobs (nearly 1 in 4 people). In other words, there is an excellent chance that you or a member of your family will need to apply for social security disability benefits at some point. The meaning of the term "disabled" can be rather vague, but when it comes to SSD benefits, the word means that a person has a medical condition that will endure for at least one year and that the condition severely restricts the individual's ability to work. If a person qualifies, the individual will receive significant benefits and, in some cases, the person's family may also receive necessary assistance.
The government treats each benefits case individually, so it 's hard to define the precise qualifications in the abstract. When an individual seeks SSD benefits, Pennsylvania's state agency enters into a dialogue with a person's doctors and disability specialists to weigh the merits of the individual's claim.
It is important to note here that individuals have a right to legal representation when attempting to negotiate this important process. Pennsylvanians SSD applications are often rejected for various avoidable reasons; it is wise to enlist the help of a leading disability attorney in Pennsylvania before submitting your paperwork.
The details of the decision process will vary from case to case, but the Social Security Administrations state agency generally follows a five-step process as it weighs an application.
First, they analyze your employment status. If you are not working, they move onto the next step in the process. You can receive benefits even if you are working in a limited role; however, if you earn more than a specific amount each month, your application will be rejected. The exact amount changes each year. In 2017 this threshold is $1,170 per month. It is important to note, however, that this figure is not necessarily as straightforward as it may seem. If your monthly income is anywhere near this threshold, seek legal assistance from a top accident attorney in PA before submitting your application.
Second, the evaluators look at the person's particular medical condition.
The condition must be significant enough that it substantially inhibits his or her ability to work. For example, the medical issue might restrict a person's capacity to walk, lift, or remember important details. If the condition is sufficiently severe and will continue to be so for at least one year, then they will move on to the third step.
Third, the agency looks to see if the applicants medical condition(s) align(s) with a master list of severe impairments. If so, they will likely conclude that the individual has a qualifying disability. If the condition(s) is not on the list, they will work to figure out whether the persons situation is equivalent to the cases caused by the conditions on the master list. In some cases, they will find that it does merit the classification of a qualifying disability. If cases where it does not, they move on to a fourth step.
Fourth, the PA agency will consider a person's medical condition's impact on the particular work that he or she was doing before the medical impairment. If they cannot determine that the medical condition stops the applicant from successfully doing his or her work, they will reject the application. If they are convinced that the medical impairment does, in fact, make it impossible for the person to do their former job, then the agency moves on to one final step.
Fifth, the agency considers the possibility that the applicant could still perform the tasks necessary for another type of job. They take many factors into account here as they weigh the possibility that a person could transfer some of their remaining skills into a new line of work. If you suspect that your application or a loved one's application may make it to this step in the process, you should consult an experienced social security disability benefits lawyer before submitting your request.
This final step involves some level of subjectivity; you will want to have the best possible documentation and representation working in your favor to succeed at this fifth step.
Familiarity with the state agencys decision process dispels some of the myths that surround SSD benefits. For example, the stringent demands that must be met at each stage make it very, very difficult for individuals to abuse this system. The complicated process is designed to ensure that only those who truly need assistance actually receive it.
On the other hand, the complexity of the process also makes it hard for deserving Americans to successfully negotiate its many demands, particularly if they are personally suffering from disabilities that may be making it difficult to fill out and gather the necessary paperwork. Given the various requirements, the process usually takes three to five months to complete. Attorney Kofsky, the best disability attorney in the state of Pennsylvania, has the necessary expertise to offer you the legal assistance you need to negotiate this necessarily complicated process successfully and as quickly as possible.
Once the state agency approves your application, you will begin receiving your benefits six months after your medical condition began. For example, if the agency determines that your multiple sclerosis stopped you from working on June 1, you will start receiving payments on December 1.
The Social Security Administration recognizes that an unexpected medical disability (mental or physical) often affects more than just the individual suffering from the condition. A surprisingly wide range of cases allow family members to receive vital benefits. An experienced Philadelphia social security attorney can help you, and your family members navigate this important process so that your loved ones can adequately support you and themselves.
While it may seem easier to determine when a physical health condition prevents someone from working, mental health conditions are often just as debilitating for countless Americans. The National Alliance on Mental Illness, in fact, reports that nearly 20% of American adults experience mental illness each year. Furthermore, 4% suffer from severe mental illnesses that significantly limit their ability to live a normal life.
American society has come a long way regarding mental health awareness and crafting appropriate, compassionate, just responses. If you or a loved one is suffering from a severe mental illness, you can apply for SSD benefits through the same process that those enduring physical disabilities have been using for almost a century. Because these cases can involve additional documentation and can sometimes be misunderstood, it is wise to consider enlisting a premier disability attorney in Pennsylvania who can help you and your loved ones through the process.
Unfortunately for many deserving Pennsylvanians, more than half of the social security disability benefits applications each year are denied the first time around. In some cases, these rejections happen because of minor technicalities. In other situations, the severity of the medical condition itself is the issue.
As you likely noticed above, human (and therefore potentially flawed) judgments factor into the application review process at nearly every step along the way. Thankfully, a substantive appeal process exists for individuals whose claims have been denied. These appeals are worth the additional time and effort because they are often successful.
Technically, Pennsylvanians also have the option to initiate a brand new claim if their initial request is rejected; however, this route is rarely the wise decision. Appeals have a much higher success rate than brand new applications; appeals also take less time which is crucial for many applicants who need the financial assistance in a timely fashion.
