Q: OpenLayers: cache WFS Request for Vector Layer In our mobile application, we'd like to use the map offline.
Actually, we don't care about tiles, but we want the user to be able to see some Vector layers.
Here is a piece of code:
            layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Block", {
                strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX()],
                filter: VMMS.GIS.GetBlockFilter(i),
                protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({
                    url: self.urlProxyGeoserver,
                    version: "1.1.0",
                    featureType: "block",
                    featureNS: self.urlGeoserver + self.dataStore,
                    featurePrefix: self.dataStore,
                    srsName: "EPSG:900913",
                    geometryName: "block_geom",
                    schema: self.urlGeoserver + "wfs/DescribeFeatureType?version=1.1.0&typename=" + self.dataStore + ":block"

                }),
                projection: "EPSG:900913",
                styleMap : self.StyleBlockWithOpacity
            });

I would like to be able to load this layer before to be offline, then use it.
I tried to do it, and cache it with localstorage (HTML5), but some problems occurs because of javascript cyclic object.
I could make the request (with url parameter) with my own API, and then cache the response. But I have the feeling that we have to use OpenLayers API.
Otherwise, do you have any idea?
On google, I have only seen solution to cache tiles, but not about my problem.
I'm kind of newbie to Openlayers, so I might have miss something. In that case, I would be happy to know what :)
Thanks
Edit:
By the way, I tried the recommandation there: WFS Caching / Back button
But it's not working (or doesn't match with my needs for some)

A: One option is to store the features in the mobile local storage like a sqlite database, you can even store it in a html5 web sql database. When it's offline you can create the layer from stored feature.
Edit:
Following is the code to save the features (in geojson format) to local storage
var features = ...; // This is the features you will store in local storage

var geojsonParser = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON();

var feature_geojson_list = [];
for (var i=0; i<features.length; i++) {
    var feature_geojson = geojsonParser.write(features[i]);
    feature_geojson_list.push(feature_geojson);
}

//save feature_geojson_list to local storage
...

Following is how you create feature from the geojson objects (when it's offline):
var feature_geojson_list = ... // read feature geojson list from local storage

var geojsonParser = new OpenLayers.Fomrat.GeoJSON();

var features = [];

for (var i=0; i<feature_geojson_list.length; i++) {
    var feature = geojsonParser.read(feature_geojson_list[i], "Feature");
    features.push(feature);
}

// now add features to your layer
...

More edits:
So in your map page, there will be some kind of connection check, and you get the features from different sources depend on whether it's online or offline.

if (**api_meothod_return_mobile_is_online**) {
    // when it's on line you get the layer from server
    var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Block", {
                strategies: [new OpenLayers.Strategy.BBOX()],
                filter: VMMS.GIS.GetBlockFilter(i),
                protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.WFS({
                    url: self.urlProxyGeoserver,
                    version: "1.1.0",
                    featureType: "block",
                    featureNS: self.urlGeoserver + self.dataStore,
                    featurePrefix: self.dataStore,
                    srsName: "EPSG:900913",
                    geometryName: "block_geom",
                    schema: self.urlGeoserver + "wfs/DescribeFeatureType?version=1.1.0&typename=" + self.dataStore + ":block"

                }),
                projection: "EPSG:900913",
                styleMap : self.StyleBlockWithOpacity
            });

     // some other code
     map.addLayer(layer);
     ...

     //after you get the features from server, you need to store them to local storage.
     //But make sure all features get loaded before storing the features,
     //so you probably need to listen on layer's 'loadend' event.

     //**Additional comments from new comments: if you only cache the data by
     //clicking some button, this is not the right code. Make it listen on
     //the button clicking event. But also make sure all the wfs features get loaded
     //before you clicking the button.
     layer.events.on('loadend', layer, function(event) {
         //here cache all layer features to local storage
         var features = layer.features;
         var geojsonParser = new OpenLayers.Format.GeoJSON();
         ... // the same code above.
     });
}
else {
    // when it's offline, you get the layer from local storage
    // note you just need to create a normal empty vector layer, but with same projection and stylemap
    var layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("Block", {
         projection: "EPSG:900913",
         styleMap: self.StyleBlockWithOpacity
    });

    //some other code
    map.addLayer(layer);
    ...

    // read features from local storage
    var feature_geojson_list = ... // if you don't find any feature in local storage, that means the app never get online, process the application properly in such case.
    var geojsonParser = new OpenLayers.Fomrat.GeoJSON();

    ... // the same code above

    // after get the features, add it to the layer
    layer.addFeatures(features);
}

The above code is quite primitive, you need to modify it according to your own application.

Some studies of health care in the U.S. have looked at federal overpayments to private Medicare Advantage (MA) plans (also known as Medicare Part C or Medicare HMOs), which compete with traditional, fee-for-service Medicare. Until now, none of these studies have calculated the total amount of overpayments to private plans since the inception of the Medicare program.
Our longtime colleagues at Physicians for a National Health Program, Dr. Ida Hellander, Dr. Steffi Woolhandler and Dr. David Himmelstein, have just finished such an analysis, to appear in a forthcoming issue of International Journal of Health Services. Its findings raise further doubts about the viability of market-based reforms of Medicare and, more generally, of our health care system as a whole.
The authors find that "the inclusion of private plans in the Medicare program has cost taxpayers $282.6 billion, [or] 24.4 percent of the total amount Medicare has paid private plans since 1985," mostly in the past eight years.
In 2012 alone … MA plans are being overpaid by $34.1 billion, or 6.2 percent of total Medicare spending. In 2012, 13.5 million Medicare beneficiaries are in private plans, [or] 27 percent of total enrollment. Some proposals would push millions more beneficiaries into private plans (e.g., voucher-type Medicare reform).
Funds wasted on overpayments to private MA plans could instead have been used to improve benefits for seniors, extend the life of the Medicare Trust Fund by more than a decade, or reduce the federal deficit. Private insurers have enriched themselves at the expense of the taxpayers. It is time to end Medicare's long and costly experiment with privatization. Alternative models of controlling costs that are proven-effective deserve a closer look.
By "alternative models," they refer to a single-payer, improved Medicare-for-all-system, similar to what most civilized countries already have. Why doesn't our country belatedly become civilized and grant all people in the U.S. health care as a right, not an often unaffordable privilege?


Transgender, non-binary, and queer-identified people often face very unique life situations.
* Are you exploring your gender and/or sexual identity?
* Are you navigating cisgender/hetero spaces as someone who isn't out?
* Are you living "stealth" and feeling frustrated or lost in a world that's changed considerably in recent years?
* Do you experience shame or guilt around your sexual practices or desires?
* Are you wondering how to navigate the dating world with unique sexual interests/desires?
* Are you exploring opening up your relationship to others?
These types of questions can really weigh you down and contribute to feeling isolated and lonely. You might be bothered more frequently by thoughts and feelings that have been present for years. Having a safe and non-judgmental therapist to explore your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental space can be a huge relief. Holding secrets inside can wear on you and get heavier and heavier over time. Taking care of yourself and talking through these challenges is difficult so congratulations on taking the first step and exploring therapy.
Choosing the right therapist can be a daunting process. It can feel like an overwhelming hunt through pictures and posts of therapists saying very similar things. Only through connection and understanding can you and I build a collaborative relationship that helps you through the steps of therapy –free of assumptions and judgment.
Whether you are looking to change patterns in your life that just aren't working for you anymore or exploring major life decisions, you deserve compassion, empathy, and respect…and you'll find those in my office.Sometimes the hardest part is picking up the phone or emailing a therapist to ask for help. Change can be very scary. You may feel you need to make changes but don't know what those changes may be. That's a great time to come to therapy: if you feel like your life needs a deeper understanding and you'd like to explore the "why" behind your actions.
I offer a free 30-minute consultation over the phone so we can talk and see if we'd be a good fit. While that isn't a therapy session, it's an introduction to what it might be like to work with each other. You can click here to send a request for consultation or contact me using the information below. I am often with clients so please leave a message if you get voice mail or feel free to send me an email. I look forward to working with you.


Despite Besner's history, the bureau said he has "an excellent record."
I'm fired up he still has a job after the city loosing lawsuits over his misconduct several times. The chief argues in the article anyone can file a tort.. but he LOST them several times and now he's promoted.
this promotion--according to persistent rumors on the street--will be very short lived!
According to an article in the Oregonian, Leo Besner is one of the cops who was successfully sued for detaining 3 black men at a downtown parking garage in the early morning after St. Patrick's Day 2007 at gunpoint for 40 minutes without any explanation as to why the men were being held. Additionally, the men say that Besner hit one of them multiple times in the groin and "questioned his manhood" during the illegal detainment. None of the men were arrested. All had clean records and no history of violence.
Additionally, according to the same article, "in 2005, while he was a sniper with the Special Emergency Reaction Team, Besner shot a suicidal man who was holding a weapon in the backyard of a duplex. The man was on the phone with a police negotiator at the time. The city paid the man's family $500,000." The name of that man was Raymond Gwerder, and he was apparently on the phone with the police negotiator talking about his dog when Besner shot him in the back. According to the Oregonian, Besner was not in communication with the police negotiating team when he shot Gwerder.
In 2003 Besner and another transit officer questioned and threw to the pavement a 15-year-old Latina girl who, while waiting for a bus home from school in Old Town, reached into her friend's pants pocket to remove a soda bottle. The lawsuit that followed cost the city a $140,000 settlement.
"Portland ordered to pay $175,000 to three men in false arrest"
"Claims against Portland police officers cost city millions"
How is this even possible? Based on your eloquent recap (thanks) I don't see how he could even be considered. It is a mockery of (sic) justice. Get to know these bad cops... they have guns and carte blanche to run rouge with promotions and impunity. This is a slap in the face of those who want Police Accountability.
The Portland police and the county sheriff's are blackmailing me at the threat of Death, they threaten they will kill family members and me if I don't do what they want!
They brag on audio Death Threats!


A 3-year-old boy was attacked by two pit bulls in a relative's dining room on June 3. His cousin alerted a neighbor who hopped the fence and rescued the child from the two dogs with a plank of wood. He grabbed the boy and carried him to a local fire station. The 3-year-old is being treated at Comer Children's Hospital after receiving bites to his ears, neck, torso and legs. The owner of the dogs received tickets because the animals didn't have licenses or rabies vaccinations.
According to the Center for Disease Control, roughly 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs each year and 800,000 seek medical attention. About half of the people seeking care are children, who tend to sustain injuries more to the head and neck region.
In the state of Illinois, the owner of a dog or any other animal that bites another person is liable for their injuries if the victim was not provoking the animal. Although some states require the dog to have a history of aggression before the owner is held liable, Illinois considers the owner liable even if he or she did not act negligently. In addition to pursuing compensation for physical injuries, it is possible to seek damages for mental pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury from a dog or another animal, a Chicago personal injury attorney from Pavich Law Group can help you seek the compensation you deserve through a premises liability claim. Dog bite injuries are serious and can lead to expensive medical bills and lost wages, but we can help you pursue damages. To learn more about your legal options, complete a free case evaluation from the firm. For more information about the benefits of working with the firm, call Pavich Law Group today!

Q: Using SASS & to target a second class of a parent Here is my code:
.grid {

    > li {

        // li styles

        .text & {

            // new li styles if .grid also has a class of .text
        }
    }
}

This is wrong, it seems to only work if I target something higher than .grid, but I want to be able to target .grid.text li {} so I can change the li styles based on if the .grid has an extra class, not depending on what .grid lives inside. Is this possible?
I'm trying to avoid doing this:
.grid {

    > li {

        // li styles
    }

    &.text {

        li {

            // new li styles
        }
    }
}

A: You could do it using the @at-root directive while mantaining the rules nested
e.g. this snippet
.grid {
    > li {
        color: #fff;

        @at-root {
          .text#{&}  {
              color: #000;
          }
        }

    }
}

on SASS >= 3.3 compiles into
.grid > li {
  color: #fff;
}
.text.grid > li {
  color: #000;
}


Corner Kitchen Cabinet – After the kitchen has such a terrific potential for a fantastic view, its a true shame to ignore it. If you're constructing a kitchen that has any form of corner to it, then you are likely going to require a corner kitchen cabinet. A disorganized kitchen can cause frustration in an area which should be a cozy place to gather. Your new kitchen should seem good for your life time, so get the maximum quality cabinets that you may afford. Organizing a little kitchen can be a little challenge. Organizing it is important to get the most out of the cabinets and countertops. Adding undercabinet lights is a superb means to create the countertops more useful whilst making a little kitchen feel larger.
Speaking about white color, it isn't necessary your cabinets ought to be white in color. Base cabinets have a great deal of room, but you need to get back on your knees to achieve the back. If you presently have the cabinets of your dreams, there are a couple pull-out shelving systems it is possible to install yourself. Kitchen cabinets may include lots of different cabinet types. If you're reworking your kitchen cabinets, then you'll need to learn how to construct a sink base cabinet. Again, when you have solid kitchen cabinets which can be reworked with a small paint and some new knobs, then don't take on the excess job of rebuilding your kitchen cabinets.
If you are in possession of a blind-corner cabinet in your kitchen, you understand how hard it's to reach whatever gets shoved to the back. Others can be set up in your existing cabinet as an individual piece. Swing-out cabinets have existed for some time, but it was not until Hafele came out with their LeMans Corner that the reputation and dependability of swing-outs grew. When you construct your own cabinets there are specific things which you may not consider, but a refrigerator enclosure is something which you might want to construct.
If you're thinking about refacing your cabinets, my advice is to receive quotes from several businesses. So if it's the case that you don't want to cover store bought cabinets. The corner cabinet may be an antique and you may use it like an accent piece for the kitchen. A conventional approach to handle a corner cabinet is to put in a set of rotating shelves. Corner cabinets have to be among the trickiest areas in a kitchen to work out. They are another fantastic creation because they're specifically designed to fit in a corner seamlessly and from the way. Corner kitchen cabinet is an attempt to increase tiny spaces.
Pantry or tall cabinets go beside countertops and offer handy storage space for a range of items. They offer fixed space, but open shelves may increase your storage options. You don't need to build a customized cabinet. It is possible to purchase custom made cabinets to coordinate with your kitchen layout or to fulfill particular requirements in your kitchen.

Brexit spurs scramble for new trade ties between U.S. and U.K.
02/05/20 6:30 AM By Bill Tomson
KEYWORDS Boris Johnson Brexit dairy Donald Trump European Union Phil Hogan poultry Robert Lighthizer UK Ursula von der Leyen
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson
The U.K. successfully split from the European Union last week, setting into motion a scramble on both sides of the Atlantic in Washington and Brussels to woo the British into a free-trade agreement as billions of dollars in ag trade hang in the balance.
"I'm excited about that," U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer told Agri-Pulse, when asked about the prospect of a free-trade agreement with the U.K. "That'll be fun."
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson returned the enthusiasm Monday, saying the U.K. was ready to "get going" on an FTA with the U.S.
If the U.K agreed to drop the tariff and non-tariff barriers that came along with its EU membership, American farmers believe they could sell a lot more grain, meat and produce to the island nation.
The U.K. imports about $3 billion worth of cheese, butter and skim milk powder annually, but only about $9 million worth of the products come from the U.S. because of EU tariffs, according to data from the International Dairy Foods Association.
U.S. officials — including President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence — have been lobbying the British for a free-trade agreement in the months leading up to Brexit, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo even flew to London the day before it was official to lean on Prime Minister Boris Johnson and British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.
The efforts seem to be working.
"There's a great opportunity for a free-trade deal," Raab told reporters in a joint press conference with Pompeo. "It's great."
Johnson, in a speech entitled "Unleashing Britain's Potential," said he realized there is opposition to a closer relationship with the U.S., but stressed that the U.S. already buys one-fifth of Britain's exports and admonished naysayers by telling them to "get a grip."
The British will need some time to officially establish negotiating objectives, Ted McKinney, USDA's trade undersecretary, told Agri-Pulse, but that should not take long. He estimated it will only be a matter of weeks before negotiations can begin.

But Johnson also suggested the U.K. may still be opposed to lifting agricultural non-tariff barriers on the U.S. farm sector, including the British ban on the type of antimicrobial rinses used by most U.S. producers to prevent salmonella contamination.
"And it goes without saying that (Britain's National Health Service) is not on the table and we will not accept any diminution in food, hygiene or animal welfare standards," Johnson said about upcoming trade talks with the U.S.
On the other hand, Johnson also promised that the U.K. was intent on doing away with non-tariff barriers and pledged that talks would be "governed by science and not mumbo jumbo."
One U.S. group that believes that barriers to U.S. poultry are "mumbo jumbo" is the USA Poultry and Egg Export Council.

"It's just their version of protectionism," says USAPEEC President Jim Sumner. "We don't even use chlorine any more as a wash for our poultry. Sure, we use it to sanitize equipment, but that's entirely different."
Brexit plan seen as disaster for US-UK trade
China corn purchase spurs optimism for future trade
EU eager to strengthen US trade ties, but not on agriculture
In the end, the U.K. will not negotiate based on rules it was saddled with in the European Union or necessarily bow to U.S. demands, says Ceri Morgan, the deputy director of Global Trade Negotiations for Britain's Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs.
"It's not about what the EU wants us to do or what the U.S. wants to do," she said. "It's about U.K. sovereignty. It's about what we want to do. There will be full and frank discussions but it will be about what the U.K. wants to do. … I don't know how it will come out but we know it will be an extremely challenging discussion."
And while Johnson made it clear the U.K. also wants a free-trade agreement with the EU, his administration believes the country will be fine if it doesn't work out.
The EU-U.K. divorce was finalized on Friday, but European leaders are already hoping to make it an amicable split in which business and trade across the English Channel continue to thrive. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen marked Brexit by proclaiming that the EU still wants "to have the best possible relationship" with the U.K.
But that relationship won't include the same tariffs that the EU maintains, Johnson said, noting that his administration is right now "taking back control of the U.K.'s tariff schedules" at the World Trade Organization.
"Tariffs are being waved around like cudgels," he said, taking a shot at both the U.S. and EU.
The EU is currently charging import taxes on about $3.3 billion worth of U.S. goods, including orange juice, cranberries, corn and rice. Those tariffs are retaliation for U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum.
To make the U.S.-U.K.-EU triangle even more complicated, the Trump administration is anxious to form a separate free-trade agreement with the European Union.
Lighthizer told Agri-Pulse that he intends to sit down soon with von der Leyen, but the exact date hasn't been set yet.
And when it comes to agriculture, the U.S. is demanding the same things from the Europeans as it is from the U.K. — a reduction in tariff and non-tariff barriers. For more than a year the talks have not moved much because of Europe's insistence that agricultural policy not be included in the negotiations, but the EU is now suggesting it will in order to make a partial deal.
Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue
EU Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan, after meetings with USTR's Lighthizer, said Europe was willing to negotiate on sanitary and phytosanitary trade barriers. Hogan said negotiators have been "exploring options to see how we can break this impasse. … I think if we look at regulatory cooperation and non-tariff barriers, arising from sanitary or phytosanitary issues, we could identify more of what we could be doing in the agricultural area to unlock the potential for U.S. farmers and European companies to do more business together."
Ag Secretary Sonny Perdue, who was in Brussels last week, said such an agreement would be possible.
"We're not suggesting initially that tariffs have to be on the table, but certainly the SPS issues have to be addressed as non-tariff barriers, which are a fairly formidable barrier to U.S. exports to the EU," Perdue said.
One of the U.S. products blocked by European non-tariff barriers is pork and Neil Dierks, CEO of the National Pork Producers Council, tells Agri-Pulse that he's hopeful negotiators can change that.

Verizon, Samsung to release 5G smartphones in U.S. in 2019
(Reuters) - Verizon Communications Inc and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd on Monday confirmed long-held industry expectations they would seek to steal a march on Apple Inc by launching U.S. 5G smartphones in the first half of 2019.

The two companies said in a statement they would unveil a prototype, using Qualcomm Inc's modem chips, at the chipmaker's annual Snapdragon Technology Summit in Maui, Hawaii this week.
While Verizon is leading the charge to trial 5G in some cities next year, industry analysts say the higher-speed networks are unlikely to be widely available until the middle of the next decade.
Apple is engaged in a legal battle with Qualcomm that has led it to stop using its modem chips, and the Cupertino, California company is widely expected instead to use Intel modems, which will not be ready for production until late 2019.
Citing sources familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reported on Monday that Apple would wait until at least 2020 to release its first 5G iPhones.
The delay could make it easier for Samsung and Verizon to win customers who are eager to connect to 5G networks, which will provide a leap forward in mobile data speeds, up to 50 or 100 times faster than current 4G networks.
Qualcomm has also partnered with other smartphone makers who have committed to 5G phones for next year.
U.S. wireless carrier Sprint Corp is also working with LG Electronics USA to launch a 5G smartphone in the U.S. in the first half of 2019.
Verizon launched its first commercial 5G service in October when its 5G Home offering went live in Houston, Indianapolis, Los Angeles and Sacramento.
Verizon Chief Financial Officer Matthew Ellis said last month that the company plans to target a broader audience for its 5G home broadband product following the adoption of global standards for the technology.

UNITED NATIONS, March 16 -- Echoes of the Libya conflict reached the UN's C-34 committee on peacekeeping, sending negotiations into Friday night after the translators left. The US and European Union were opposing proposed language that protection of civilians should not be used to change governments.
But they were also opposing a proposal that the same conduct and discipline standards applicable to UN Peacekeeping missions should apply to "special political missions" like Iraq and Afghanistan.
As one Non-Aligned Movement (and troop contributing country) representative told Inner City Press, "why should our soldiers in peacekeeping be held accountable, but your people in Special Political Missions are not?"
The US, led by uber-Tweeting Ambassador Joe "One-Way" Torsella, and the EU were also trying to limit payments for troops costs. They were countered by an argument that since compensation for UN Peacekeepers is barely over $1000 a month, but NATO soldiers get four times that, maybe that latter are "mercenaries." Or, one wag suggested, "bounty hunters."
There is another brewing budget fight, about why Special Political Missions like those in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Libya should be in the regular UN budget instead of in the peacekeeping budget for which the Permanent Five members of the Security Council, creator of these missions, pay more.
The reference above to the US' Joe Torsella is that despite repeated Press requests that he state the US position on the proposed new DC-5 building for the UN, Inner City Press has been told to just "read Joe's tweets."
But even on Friday, as Torsella tweeted from a listed closed consultation of the Fifth (Budget) Committee, he did not answer direct questions Tweeted at him. Rather, he re-tweeted about "the boss" @AmbassadorRice flying from New York to Washington on Friday, in coach, without providing the thrice requested position of the US Mission to the UN. Hence, Joe "One-Way" Torsella. We will continue on this.
Footnote: Across the hall from the ongoing meeting of the C-34 (a committee which used to have just 34 members) was a meeting of the similarly misnamed G-77, which used to have only 77 members. There, Inner City Press is told, Kenya's Ambassador made demands about the Group's position.
"What he really wants," a well placed G-77 source told Inner City Press, "is to make sure if there's a new environmental agency that it stays in Nairobi, and doesn't get 'stolen' by Germany or Denmark." Or France. We'll have more on this.

Q: Is there a way to make a folder-like hierarchy in redis cache? So I'm using redis cache in my c# webapi and being able to implement a similar hierarchy would make my life much easier (something like this:
a-> key1
    b-> c ->key2
            key3
        d ->...

)
My other option is to make a tree like approach with keys where a would give me 2 other keys one for key and another for b and so one (but would be a mess)

A: Redis supports multiple datatypes. For your case you can use a Hashes since a hash can have another nested hash in it.
Since Redis doesn't support nested data structure, you can store it this way by storing the inner hash reference in outer hash which will have difficulty while retrieving the data back. Else, you can create the hierarchical object structure as a JSON (Or, if you already have one) and store that serialized object in Redis.
See Storing nested objects in Redis

A: What you are trying to do here is somewhat outside of what redis wants you to do. You can fake it with nesting keys inside keys (perhaps via a hash), but it will be really hard to work with.
However! This might be a good fit for a redis "module" (requires redis 4.*). In particular, I wonder whether ReJSON might be a good fit. This is designed for JSON usage, but frankly: JSON is a hierarchical nested key/value data type - exactly what you want. Just overlook the JSON part :)
In particular, ReJSON allows you to query, access, and manipulate arbitrary nodes via a syntax that will be familiar if you've ever used XPath.
How to access ReJSON will depend on what client library you are using. If you're using SE.Redis, you will probably want to use the db.Execute(command, args) method (since I don't have ReJSON bindings natively exposed). If you're using a "cluster" topology, make sure that the key is passed as a RedisKey (rather than as a string), so that it knows how to route it.

A: If you use redis commander to view your cache, you can use keys separated with colons,e.g,   set1:subset:subset:key.   Its not really a hierarchy but it displays like folders in the commander view.

London System
By playing the London System, with 1.d4 followed by 2.Nf3 and 3.Bf4, White can avoid a theoretical discussion and instead use natural ability plus a knowledge of plans. The weight of the struggle tends to shift towards the middlegame, but White can also pull off devastatingly quick wins should Black be unaware of the dangers.
The flexible Panov
In the Flexible Panov Dutch IM Nico Zwirs will show you how to test Black to the limit in the Caro-Kann. 8 hours of video lessons included!
The Indian battle between Puranik-Erigaisi from the 9th round of the Sunway Sitges Tournament contained some tactical ideas for both sides. What started off as a popular Sicilian Four Knights soon transposed into sttructures reminiscent from the Scheveningen variation.
Initially Black's attack seemed to be more threatening, but after sacrificing material, Erigaisi's play started to falter and with some precise defensive moves Puranik coordinated his pieces well and won with a beautiful counterattack.

MedlinePlus: Modafinil
Modafinil Natural Alternatives
Country Mallow
Written by Don Amerman
Modafinil, a psychostimulant medication, is prescribed for the treatment of narcolepsy, a condition characterized by abnormal sleepiness during waking hours and daytime sleep attacks. Medical professionals also prescribe the drug to treat obstructive sleep apnea, another sleep disorder. Natural alternatives, including both nutrients and herbal remedies, are available. However, consult a medical professional before beginning any regimen of self-treatment.
Although modafinil is currently the prescription medication of choice for the treatment of narcolepsy, there is no cure for this sleep disorder. Phyllis A. Balch, author of "Prescription for Nutritional Healing," says that it's important that patients with the disorder get the nutrients they need to minimize the symptoms of narcolepsy 2. She recommends a bedtime dose of 2,000 mg of calcium, 400 mg of magnesium three times a day–morning, afternoon and at bedtime–and 300 mg of choline once daily. The calcium and magnesium help to ensure the body produces all the energy it needs and also protects the nervous system, while the choline acts as a neurotransmitter and is vital to optimal brain function. Other nutrients helpful in fighting the effects of narcolepsy include coenzyme Q10; L-glutamine; L-tyrosine; octacosanol; nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; omega-3 fatty acids; and vitamins B-complex, C, D and E. Consult with your doctor to see if a program of nutritional supplementation makes sense for you.

In and of itself, caffeine does not offer a cure for narcolepsy, but it can be incorporated into a program of treatment that helps to reduce the disorder's worrisome symptoms. In "Narcolepsy: A Clinical Guide," authors Meeta Goswami, S.R 3. Pandi-Perumal and Michael J. Thorpy point out that caffeine combats fatigue and postpones the need for sleep. However, care must be taken to guard against excessive caffeine consumption, because that can cause anxiety, tremors, rapid breathing and insomnia. Talk to your doctor to determine what level of caffeine consumption makes sense for you.

Used for millennia by Asian herbalists, gotu kola is a potent herbal stimulant of the central nervous system. As such, it can play a helpful role in combating the symptoms of drowsiness and mental fuzziness that are characteristic of narcolepsy. Robert C. Atkins, author of "Dr. Atkins' Vita-Nutrient Solution," pointed out that the herb energizes the brain 4. According to Atkins, scientists have speculated that gotu kola accomplishes this goal by prompting the body to produce choline, which plays a key role in proper brain function. Don't take gotu kola or any other alternative remedy until you consult a medical professional.

Country mallow, known scientifically as Sida cordifolia, contains a generous amount of ephedrine, a potent stimulant compound, which can be useful in reducing the daytime sleepiness that is a symptom of narcolepsy. Botanist James A. Duke, author of "The Green Pharmacy," writes that the seeds of country mallow are the plant's richest source of ephedrine. To combat the effects of narcolepsy, brew a strong tea using 5 tsp. of the herb for each cup of boiling water. Check with your doctor before using this or any other herbal remedy.

Notizie Judo/
The Competitions Rules Explained
Proposals 2013 – 2016
The athlete's weigh in will be scheduled the day before the competition at 19:00h.
A weigh in will be operated the morning of the competition, during the Judogi control, prior to the first fight in order to assess the impact of this new decision on the weight of the athletes during the competition. If the collected data require further experimentation, then it will be maintained. A procedure will be implemented when a fighter has a weight over a certain weight tolerance percentage. Within his category (weight to be determined with sport doctors) a medical check may be done.
For many years, it has been an important topic related to the athletes' health. As they are organized today, weigh-ins force competitors to get up early, or very early, and sometimes to follow drastic diets until the last minute. The organization of the weigh-in the day before the competition will be set on an experimental basis. It will determine if it is beneficial and if it helps to protect athletes from injuries related to too restrictive weight loss. The test will be closely followed by the IJF medical staff. At any time it will be stopped if the observations are not positive. From the beginning of the experiment, "weigh-in tests" will be conducted, during the judogi control, to determine if the weight gain during the night is consistent with the weight categories. Athletes and coaches will also be asked to explain the changes it brings to their preparation for the competition. This new procedure should help to reduce to competition day for athletes, coaches, but for the organizers as well. It must also protect the health of the athletes.
Composition of the delegations for individual World Championships and Continental Championships
9 entries in total for men and 9 entries for women.
The maximum of 2 athletes per category for men and the same for women.
Maximum of total delegation men and women, 18 athletes.
For cadets and juniors: same principle for the delegation composition
National Federations have the opportunity to enter two athletes per weight category for the World Championships, as well as for the continental championships. This procedure has been positive both in number of participants and quality of judo. It has enabled federations, who could not register athletes in all categories, still to engage their best athletes. In order to give the opportunity to all national federations to register their best players in the respect of the fairness of these major events, it will now be possible to register a maximum of two athletes per category, but delegations may not exceed a total of nine competitors (9 men / 9 women). Slightly reducing the number of participants, this measure will tighten up the level of the World Championships and Continental Championships.
Denomination World Cups
Name: "Continental" Open of "City". E.g.: European Open of Roma, Asian Open Ulaanbaatar….
The World Judo Tour consists of Judo World Championships, individual seniors, World Masters, Grand Slams, Grand Prix and World Cups. All these events are eligible for points for the world ranking list and for the Olympic qualifications. The World Cups are events organized by the Continental Unions. Thus, in order to make the system coherent and comprehensible and to highlight the work of the Continental Unions, the names of the World Cups (to become Continental Open) will change in 2013.
Cadets – U 18
3 years for Cadets (this proposal could be reviewed).
Kansetsu-Waza authorized for Cadets.
To harmonize the age categories, with, amongst other, events such as the Youth Olympic Games, three years have been planned for the cadets. Based on the analyzes that will be made (especially on the medical impact), the proposal may be modified.
Cadets are, for many of them, on the eve of an international career. Therefor, it seems obvious that they can practice the arm-locks, in order to prepare for the juniors. In fact, as soon as they enter in the juniors, athletes can participate in senior competitions. They need to be ready.
- 10x10 m and 4 meters minimum for safety area for Olympics, Worlds and Masters. Recommended for Continental Championships.
To ensure the maximum performance and security for the major world competitions which are organized in venues that allow it. For all other competitions, a combat area of 8x8m will both ensure the performance and the safety, while allowing organizers to host major international competitions of the world circuit.
A 4 meters security area is necessary in regards to the rule that an action initiated inside the fighting area can be concluded outside.
Juniors - U 21
3 years for juniors (upgrade 1more year)
To harmonize the age categories.
Ranking List Events
Only one annual event with IJF ranking list points can be organized in the same country except of World Championships, Masters or Continental Championships. The World Ranking List has been modified, see annex.
For instance, if you are organizing a Grand Prix, you can not have a Grand Slam, in the same country, during the same year. This does not concern the World Championships, the World Masters and the Continental Championships.
The scale of points distributed at the world circuit events has been modified (see Appendix) to mark a clear difference between the events.
Delegation Participating Fees
Organizing countries should not request fee penalties for countries which cannot make bank transfers but can pay in cash money upon arrival. On the other hand, they should inform well in advance the organizing country and specify the number of participants before the deadline.
Not to penalize countries that have no bank transfer facilities.
Uniform IJF Competition System
Quarter Final / last 8 / repechage for all IJF events (including Master, GS and GP)
All IJF events will adopt the quarter-final repechage system. As a consequence, three winners of their last fight will be present on the podium (instead of one, in the knockout system. The only 'loser' will be the silver medalist). It will also raise the interest to the final blocks of the competitions, whose results will take more value. Finally, it will give a second chance for the quarter-final losers, while maintaining a compact system of competition.
The Refereeing Rules Explained
Referee and judges
Only one referee on the mat and one referee at a video check table with a radio communication assisted by a referee commission member or another referee will judge the fights. A rotation system will be implemented for the Referees. The IJF Jury will interfere only when they consider it to be necessary.
To the question: will there be only one referee to judge the fight? The answer is clearly no. There will always be three people. Only the distribution of the roles will change. Instead of having three referees on the mat, there will be one referee on the mat and one referee sitting at the table with the video. He will be assisted by a member of the refereeing commission or an other referee, whose expertise in the use of video is recognized. So, there will always be three people to judge a fight. The IJF jury will intervene only in exceptional situations. The sole purpose of this approach is to ensure that the fighter who really won the fight, would leave the tatami as the winner. For this purpose, a direct and clear refereeing procedure on the mat, with a single referee, assisted by an other referee and a member of the refereeing commission, must make things more fluid. A Rotation will be organized among the referees to maintain the fairness between the fighters and to ensure an optimal recovery of the referees. The referees will be directly involved in the video assistance.
-IPPON: to give more value «to take into account only the techniques with real impact on the ground on the back».
By definition, a clear ippon is a movement executed with strength, speed, and control, on the back. A return to this definition will be observed, in order to give real value to the objective of any competitor: to score ippon. Judo is a spectator sport as long as the goal is clearly defined.
Landing on the bridge position
All situations of landing on the bridge position will be considered Ippon.
Considered as a dangerous technic avoiding to be thrown, any attempt to land (for UKE - the one, who is thrown) on the bridge position will be considered as ippon for TORI (the one who has executed the throwing technic).
During the fight there will be three Shidos, and the fourth Hansoku-make (3 warnings and then disqualification). Shidos do not give points to the other fighter, only technical scores can give points on the scoreboard.
At the end of the fight, if scoring is equal, the one with less Shido wins.
If the fight continues to golden score (due to a draw), the first receiving a Shido loses, or the first scoring a technique will win.
In order to avoid that an increasing number of competitors try to win by penalties instead of trying to win with a score, and in order to restore the balance in favor of the scores obtained by judo techniques, the penalty philosophy completely changes. Penalties still exist and after four of them, the athlete is disqualified, as it has been the case until now. However, there are no more parallel between the scores (yuko, waza-ari) and penalties. The advantage is given to the fighter who attacks and scores. But if nothing is scored (no technical advantage), the one with the least penalties wins. Once again, this gives the advantage to the competitor who attempts the most to execute techniques and who is practicing the least anti-judo.
Penalized with Shido
-Breaking the grip with 2 hands.
-Cross gripping should be followed by an immediate attack. Same rule as for the belt gripping and one side gripping.
The referees should strictly penalize the contestants who do not engage in a quick Kumikata grip or who try not to be gripped by the opponent.
-To hug the opponent for a throw. (Bear hug).
The take the grip (kumikata) is part of a judo contest. Searching the best kumikata to perform beautiful techniques is logical and necessary. But to prevent the opponent to grip, if there is no immediate attack, is not constructive. Recently, it was found that the process of blocking the opponent became predominant in many fights, leading to long and boring combats. Thus, the decisions that have been taken aim to correct this. The goal is not to prevent the kumikata work, but rather to make it active and constructive.
Penalized with Hansoku-make:
All attacks or blocking with one or two hands or with one or two arms below the belt in Tachi-waza.
The aim of judo, as is has already been pointed out is simple: to score ippon. For this, there are many possibilities, which make judo a spectacular sport, but nevertheless a technical activity. A greater clarity is needed to make it more understandable by judoka themselves, to make it easier to judge, but also to make it more affordable to the public. The direct leg grabs were banned from judo competition in recent years. The effects are obvious: some techniques disappeared for the benefit of the reappearance of spectacular movements that couldn't be executed due to the position of the fighters. The exception made for direct leg grab in case of cross grip made the refereeing yet sometimes complicated, despite the intervention of the video. As such, any attack of blocking below the belt, during standing work, will now be sanctioned by Hansoku-make, without exception.
Osaekomi, Kansetsu-waza and Shime-waza
- Will continue also outside of the contest area as long as Osaekomi was called inside.
- Osaekomi scores 10 seconds for Yuko, 15 seconds for Waza-ari, and 20 seconds for Ippon.
The Kansetsu-waza and Shime-waza initiated inside the contest area and recognized as being effective to the opponent can be maintained even if the contestants are outside the contest area.
A lack of consistency was observed due to the fact that an action, in standing work, could begin within the fighting area and end outside (giving a score), but it was not valid for the ground work. From Paris Grand Slam on, an immobilization, which starts inside, can be completed outside the fighting area. The only possibility to stop the immobilization will be to get out of it. Just going out of the fighting area is not sufficient anymore. It is the same for arm locks and chokes. As long as they are clearly engaged inside the fighting area (outstretched arm, engaged arm lock or choke engaged), the conclusion may be held outside. If the arm is not stretched or if there is not throttling, the combat will stop and start again from the standing position.
Downtime is reduced to make combat more dynamic. Indeed, it is the first 10 seconds of immobilization that are the most important. In most cases, after 10 or 15 seconds, there is little chances to escape and abandonment often occur.
The bow
When entering the tatami area, fighters should walk to the entrance of the contest area at the same time and bow to each other into the contest area. The contestants must not shake hands BEFORE the start of the contest.
Judo is a sport whose values are worldwide known and recognized. In Judo, there is a 'ceremony', which is accepted by everybody and which is part of the DNA of our sport. It must be respected. It is the symbol of our moral code and it warns against any drift. That the fighters will be asked to really respect the bow procedure as it has been defined since the invention of judo. At the beginning of the bout, they will not be allowed to use other signs than the bow. At the end of the fight, after the bow, the fighters are allowed to shake hands and to congratulate themselves with respect.
Duration of Contests
- No time limit for Golden Score (Hantei is cancelled).
Recently, everybody agreed that too many fights ended in golden score with a referee flag decision. With the fight common to an end (towards the referee decision), some fighters relied on that flag decision to decide between themselves, while the goal of judo is and will remain to score ippon, or at least to score an advantage. To avoid that, the removal of the flags decision (Hantei) was recorded. The golden score will now be 'open' until a fighter scores an advantage or is penalized, the decision will be made only on the technical merits of judoka.
