I have seen a lot of new api (or library, or framework) created to "simplify" something, to shield developers from the "tedious, error-prone details" i.e. complexity. These façades or wrappers often make the common tasks easy but could make the uncommon tasks harder.
… you have to, one way or another, deal with the details beneath the carpet or behind the facade. The raw material is more flexible.
I have heard many veterans comment that swing is very flexible or C is very flexible.
Example – stat risk content, even though not really relevant to my interviews.
The INotifyPropertyChanged interface contains an event pseudo-field called PropertyChanged.
Whenever a property on a ViewModel object (or a Model object) has a new value, it can (should?) raise the PropertyChanged event to notify the WPF binding system. Upon receiving that notification, the binding system queries the property, and the bound property on some UI element receives the new value. I believe this is how new data hits the screen.
I believe the callbacks run on the UI thread, just like swing.
In order for WPF to know which property on the ViewModel object has changed, the PropertyChangedEventArgs class exposes a PropertyName property of type String. You must be careful to pass the correct property name into that event argument; otherwise, WPF will end up querying the wrong property for a new value.
For PropertyChanged to work, i think we have to use xaml binding with a prop name. In contrast, the alternative — defining ItemSource in codebehind probably doesn't work.
Layout is one of the most important tasks of a GUI coder (as well as the artist). I get layout questions in my GUI job interviews. Despite all the advancement, veterans would probably agree layout is non-trivial. Both WPF and swing have tons of features on layout.
Swing layout is sometimes challenging/painful, esp. with window resizing. There are various advanced layout managers created to address the pains – gridbag etc.
* By default, WPF apps have a base Grid layout. Get rid of it and use "Dock Panel" as your base. Dock Panels are the same as swing Border layout. The idea is to place the menu on top (DockPanel.Dock="Top"), status bar bottom (DockPanel.Dock="Bottom") and put a Grid at the center. Now you have a well-behaved desktop app that reacts well to window re-sizes.
* The Grid control is like Swing's GridBagLayout only easier to use.
* Positioning — Use the AM (Alignment/Margin) to position elements in a container.
* Spacing — Use the margin + padding for spacing. If 2 buttons are side by side, don't put a blank label in-between them to create space.
– height/width — All controls provide a Height and Width but don't fixed sizing.
** Set the Width and Height of elements to Auto whenever possible.
** For precise control, use the MinHeight, MaxHeight, MinWidth and MaxWidth properties to define a acceptable range.
the "hotel service desk" that's the OS.
In both domains, data/events are bound to individual screen/visual objects. Eech screen object maps to one (or more) swing object + one (or more) native object "protected" by the OS. Remember OS is the wrapper layer on top of hardware, and all access to hardware must go through the OS.
B: event pumping, low-level vs semantic events.
All c# delegate types are multicast. The word "multicast" is /superfluous/redundant/, just like Reentrant in ReentrantLock. You can similarly say silly things like "Secure SSL", or "Reliable TCP".
According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.multicastdelegate.aspx, a MulticastDelegate has a linked list of delegates, known as an invocation list. When a multicast delegate is invoked, the delegates in the invocation list are called _synchronously_ in the order in which they appear.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/brada/archive/2004/02/05/68415.aspx says " We abandoned the distinction between Delegate and MulticastDelegate towards the end of V1." Even though MulticastDelegate type extend Delegate type, system will not even allow you to derive from Delegate directly. Instead, all delegates extend MulticastDelegate.
Let's be clear what I mean — for a given greek (say, delta) of European options, regardless of which underlier, what strike or expiration month, the value of that greek tends to move towards predictable levels as we approach expiration.
Well before expiration, a greek is like a real-value variable which could take on any numerical value within a range. However, during the last days, BS formula predicts that a greek's value (say delta) always gravitates towards some well-defined convergence points.
delta — either 1.0 or 0 (negative for puts). However, if underlier spot price fluctuates around my strike level (IF you remain very close to ATM), then I'm switching sides between ITM and OTM, so my delta would swing wildly between the 2 convergence 1.0 and 0.
gamma — either infinity or zero. ATM (IF you remain very close to ATM) would go to positive infinity gamma (for long positions); deep ITM/OTM go to zero gamma. However in the last moments there's no point talking about infinity or zero gamma. If in the last minute spot is still changing around your strike level, then you basically close your eyes and wait to see if you finish ITM or OTM. Even if you finish ITM, the payoff would be a small  percentage of strike, and probably a small percentage of premium.
 unless you have a Binary option. If you finish ITM with a binary option, you effective win a million dollar bet.
theta — either infinity or zero. Similar to gamma, ATM would go to negative infinity theta; deep ITM/OTM go to zero theta.
option valuation — either $0 or stock price.
jcomponent — both user actions and code actions generate events.
the "source" jcomponent keeps the (list of) listeners.
object. Now I feel this is educational but imprecise.
enclosing class or enclosing method. The last group are more tricky.
Inside processEvent(), each listener is invoked sequentially.
An entire swing app is event driven – either 1) user events, 2) "mkt data" events, or (rarely) scheduled timer events. Without these events, entire swing app is idle.
Therefore, event handling logic permeates swing apps.
These 3 types of external events are not AWTEvents, but "happenings". They can generate internal events, typically AWTEvents. For example, if a user event hits a JButton, the event handler in the button could fire an AWT event on a TableModel. The TableModel event handler can then modify table data and fire another event to update the screen.
Swing has a notion of low-level events vs semantic events. My 3 types are semantic.
background — callback/event-handling/listener is one of the more interesting or tricky part of swing development.
Callback site can use EventObject.getSource() to find the generator Object (for a semantic event), cast to a specific type, then access its specific methods or fields. This requires prior knowledge of the exact data type of the event-generator object. That leads to tight-coupling.
A more generic solution is the PropertyChangeListener.java. This and related classes are part of java.beans package, not limited to swing. PCL is a flexible and practical solution in a wide variety of contexts beyond swing.
PropertyChangeEvent.java holds (in addition to source) propertyKeyName, oldValue and newValue fields.
Any Listener class can implement the PropertyChangeListener.java interface and support a single callback method — propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent). When the callback runs, at run-time it has access to all 4 constituents of the PropertyChangeEvent instance.
Some interviewer once asked me to comment on the multi-threading issues in swing. I said that's easier to me than the chaos and entanglement passing objects between code modules. Half of that confusion relates to events.
 in real life, the set-up is often complicated by thread, inner classes etc, so it's important to look at simple yet realistic examples.
Now, many of these roles are simple only conceptually — actual object-graph is a bit complicated.
Jcomponent is the most Concrete thing among these mysterious creatures. Jcomponents can be an event source, and can optionally implement an listener interface such as ActionListener.java.
Event tasks, as described in another blog post, exists inside the JVM only, and not in java api. Each task points-to exactly one listener instance and one event object.
The listener role is tricky. In my experience, half the listeners are jcomponents, and half are non-jcomponents.
EventObject.java doesn't contain a "handle"  on the listener INSTANCE, but look at an event-queue-task ("qtask") in the Swing EventQueue.
EDT runs all callback methods (such as actionPerformed) sequentially . So if a jtable and a jtree both listen to an event, EDT must execute the 2 callbacks sequentially.
Note in our simple example one source object (button) generates one event (click) at a time. Given the source maintains 2 pointers to 2 listeners, that one event object must be "delivered to" 2 listeners — 1:2 mapping.
– a stateful object (perhaps a jcomponent) holding a handle on some RESOURCE — DB, bunch of jcomponents..
 even though a callback method may dispatch the task to a worker thread or back to EDT again – by invokeLater() i.e. packing up the task into a qtask and "enqueue" to the end of the event queue.
 basically a reference or pointer, but it's good to use a generic term here.
1000 records are batched into each chunk and posted to event queue. Every chuck needs to be displayed on a "main" table. Killer is the re-sort/re-filter, which must happen on EDT. As a result, EDT is overwhelmed — when you re-size or move the app, it responds, but is sluggish and leaves an ugly trail.
* Break up into smaller tables, so sorting is faster.
* Break up into smaller datasets. In fact most users are only interested in a subset of the live data.
* If sort (filter) is the killer….
… adopt a a sort-free JTable that efficiently accesses pre-sorted underlying data. Underlying data can be swapped in/out efficiently, and sorted on a "mirror-site" using another thread, possibly a swing worker. Take inspiration from the 2 GC survivor spaces and use 2 identical data structures. One live, the other used as a sort worktable. Swap (by pointer) and fire table event. However this increase memory consumption.
We also need to completely disable user-triggered sorts. Use a dialog box to educate users that changing sorting policy is non-trivial, and they should configure and install the new sorting policy and be prepared to wait a while to see its effect.
In Swing, You can never change the screen directly — You always "invite" the EDT (or the UI thread in wpf) to asynchronously query the model and update the screen.
I guess this is a golden rule in wpf and swing, at least for the mainstream visual components with a model/view.
If my custom method synchronously updates a visual component, then this method must always be on the EDT.
In WPF, How about listBox1.Items.Add(..)? I guess this is editing the Model or ViewModel, not the View. I guess screen is updated upon invitation.
singleton — the strict ones are less useful.
One sorter has multiple sort keys.
RowSorter need to reference a TableModel. JTable also have a reference to the model. RowSorter should not install a listener on the model. Instead the view class will get model events, and then call into the RowSorter. For example, if a row is updated in a TableModel, JTable gets notified via the EDT event queue then invokes sorter.rowsUpdated(), which is a void method. The rowsUpdated() internally refreshes row sorter's internal mapping. I believe after this method returns JTable would query row sorter to re-display the rows in the new order.
Because the view makes extensive use of the convertRowIndexToModel() and convertRowIndexToView(), these methods need to be fast.
Routed events have a bit of theory behind it. Routing theory perhaps?
One of the (top 3?) essential jobs of xaml is linking up the GUI event handlers. These event handlers are essential and found in every GUI toolkit. WPF event handlers are often implemented as instance methods in the xaml class. The xaml xml can specify a handler method by unqualified method name like a bare-word.
A bit of history on the "event" concept. In swing and other GUI, an event instance is a single occurrence of a … say a button click (or mouse-over or a special key combination). In dotnet, an event is conceptually a (usually non-static) field holding a functor. In GUI, such an event often points to an instance method of the xaml class behind the xaml. So I feel in a dotnet gui an event in a xaml screen is like "a specific type of user action", like a click on ButtonA. WPF uses a supercharged kind of event, built on top of the CLR event. We are talking about routed event.
To understand routed event, we better bear in mind that a xaml defines a screen, built with a tree of visuals in a containment hierarchy. Such a hierarchy is also essential in Swing.
When a user action happens, the WPF "Hollywood" typically raises 2 routed events — 1) a tunneling version then 2) a bubbling version. Tunneling events are named Preview_*, and designed to fire before the bubbling event. [[illustrated wpf]] shows a simple example. Upon a click, first the tunnel event hits outer container, then the inner image, and then a second event, the bubble event, hits the inner image then the outer container. Both the inner and outer visual object define event handlers for the click, adding up to 4 event handler methods in the code behind. Therefore we we see 4 log messages.
2 basic event types — RegionEvent and EntryEvent, are changes to a region or a data entry. Both extend CacheEvent interface.
3) CqEvent ie continuousQueryEvent — see other posts.
Warning — All cache events are synchronous. To make them asynchronous, you can hand them off to another thread for the callback. RoleEvent, TransactionEvent, BridgeEvent, GatewayEvent are less common.
The effect of 1 and 2 are for different reasons.
 bond sellers are *forced* to discount their bonds more deeply. Inflation (as indicated by prevailing interest rates — libor) immediately and automatically increases the discount advertisement known as "yield". When a seller discounts more deeply, advertised price automatically declines. If a seller doesn't deepen the discount, no one wants to buy his bond.
 is due to higher interest rate when you reinvest the money in higher-interest securities including a regular CD.
A TableColumnModel Instance holds a bunch of TableColumn Instances, ordered like they are shown in a JTable — #1 job of TCM. You can verify this observation from method "TableColumn getColumn(int)" . The method getColumns(void) actually returns an Enumeration of TC instances.
The 2nd job of a TCM Instance is the listener list. These listeners listen to column-move (and similar) events, NOT table data change events.
In a TC (TableColumn) instance, the most important information is the model index, i.e. which column in the TM is behind this TC instance. A TC Instance holds data fields controlling the appearance of a column. You can think of a TC Instance as a table_column_view object.
I think it's a common misconception to assume a listener is typically a jcomponent or a listener is usually separate from any jcomponent, but those are wrong thoughts.
Last month I asked "Exactly which thread calls the callback method in a Swing action listener when I click on a mouse?" I think Answer is, the EDT or "AWT event queue thread" in debugger thread listing.
This thread is started when the app starts and it waits in Object.wait() — confirmed. When you click on a button in the swing JFrame, the callback method runs in this thread. System doesn't create a new thread to run the callback method. I think that would be too expensive since creating a new thread is not cheap. There are other fundamental reasons to run all event callbacks on EDT — see other posts in my blog.
For JMS onMessage() callback, I guess it might be similar — a single dedicated, long-running thread, not 5 new threads for 5 new messages. The volume of incoming messages is way too high if we create a new thread each time.
Next question is, what is this dedicated thread doing when there's a long quiet period? I think it has to do a wait(), just like Swing.
In every GUI toolkit there's a class hierarchy of of event "value objects". Such an object is passed into event handlers or callbacks as a function argument. In Swing it is known simply an "event" object. I feel this meaning of "event" is traditional, natural and intuitive — a data transfer object carrying a message about an occurrence.
– "An event pseudo field" — a list of listeners. If 2 visuals bind to a single model object, then list of 2 listeners.
– "firing event" — a single invitation sent to the listeners. You can rapid-fire 500 events in a minute using the same event-pseudo-field. Each invitation will hit all the listeners.
 Incidentally, Such rapid-firing rate is not uncommon, because firing is often programmatic and driven by a collection.
– registration thread? less relevant. can be any thread.
Data shared among these threads at these different TIMES?
At produce-time, system instantiates event-queue-task object (different from EventObject), injecting the jcomponent (as event source) + Listener object addresses therein, then enqueues the task object to the EDT event-queue. If 5 listeners registered, then 5 distinct task objects enqueued.
At consume-time (shortly but possibly much later ), EDT picks up the task object and finds the listener object, and calls listener.actionPerformed() passing in EventObjectt. As a non-static method, this CALL's host object is the listener object but it executes on EDT. At consume-time, all instance fields of the source object (typically a jcomponent), instance fields of the listener (and, if a nested class within a jcomponent, private fields of the enclosing jcomponent) are accessible.
Listener OBJECT is often of an inner class –> Complicating. You need to be very clear that registration time and listener creation time are rather less relevant since they could be well before the event. Enclosing class's fields all become accessible to actionPerformed().
If inner class is local, then local variables of the enclosing METHOD are also accessible, if FINAL. This last FINAL scenario is more tricky. The local vars are created at registration time but (because FINAL) remain accessible at consume-time.
Q: If on a non-EDT thread, such as a market data thread, I modify the table model beneath a "showing" ("realized") jtable, say change text from "A" to "B", but don't repaint or fire table change event, when will my new text show up on screen?
A: never. I tested with a custom table model. The new text shows up only after I repaint or fire table event.
A: you must send an invitation to the EDT to re-query the table model and then repaint the visual, otherwise the visual will not update. Look at INotifyPropertyChanged in wpf.
A (from a veteran): For custom table model, we need to fire events, either cell change event or table data change event.
Q: Will firing event involve repaint()?
Q: will firing the event trigger paint()?
A: yes according to my debug test. EDT runs paint().
Q2: is it safe for non-EDT thread to make state change on the table model object?
A: not sure. The only way to propagate the state change to the screen is via native screen object.
We are modifying the model object, not the "real" object (whatever it is), so screen won't update. UI delegate or native screen object are probably not directly accessible.
Q: when user edits a table cell, does the table model object change via an event callback or automatically without any event callback?
Note most if not all swing event handlers are objects, not mere method. (It's common and harmless to use nested classes for the objects.) These objects are often stateless, but i feel you can carefully add state to them.
Since the EDT is the only thread running callback methods, these methods can spawn new (worker) threads to take on heavy jobs.
How many times will these callbacks run in an hour? How many threads do you want to spawn?
I like the official definition in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_duration#Definition. Each payout has a payout-date and therefore a 'distance' from valuation-date. (Example: 47 months from now). Weighted average of all these "distances" is the Mac Duration.
* eg: low coupon bond maturing in 4.5 years — Weighted average means Mac duration is dominated by the principal repayment's distance of 4.5 years. Duration is slightly shorter than that that last distance.
* eg: high coupon bond with that same maturity of 4.5. Duration is much shorter than the last distance.
 among bonds of the same maturity date.
"distance" is a more visual word than the "time-to-maturity" or "term-to-maturity" technical jargon. I also like the TTL or time-to-live phrase.
Now, if we receive $50 coupons five times and then $1000, we get total $1250 . Q: what's a reasonable "average-payout-date" of this $1250? Answer is the Duration.
 actual formula uses present value of each payout.
Key assumption: yield is roughly correlated to benchmark interest rates (such as the overnight FedFund rate), an indication of market sentiment.
For a high-yielder, larger portions (half?) of the total PresentValue come early and suffer minimal discount (discount factor close to 100%) . Remember DF and yield are subject to semi-annual compound. STRIPS have no early payouts, so the final payout must be discounted deeply due to compounding. Impact of yield change is deep.
Remember yield of 7% is always semi-annually compounded to derive DiscountFactor. See posts on DF and yield.
Swing supports semantic events and low-level events — http://tech.stolsvik.com/2009/03/awt-swing-event-pumping-and-targeting.html. Most of the "visible" events that litter our source code are semantic, so that's the focus of most app-developer. However authors often include low-level events when "swing event" is mentioned in literature.
We mostly care about events on the EDT. Nothing stops a swing app from using any number of events on some independent thread unrelated to the EDT, but anything that affects the display must use EDT, unless the method is marked "thread-safe". Here are some common sources of events.
– UI events — from mouse and keyboard. It's possible to write many small swing apps with no other events than UI events.
– MOM events — A swing app often has MOM listeners that can fire events that affect the UI.
– timer events — Always en-queue to EDT. Often affects UI.
– Subject HAS-A reference to each observer  in order to send them updates.
– Observer HAS-A rcontrol linked to his subject(s) in order to subscribe/unsubscribe. Usually a field in the observer.
– Subject doesn't HAS-A such pointer but receives a list of observers in notifyObserver() method. However, this way, subscription has no meaning.
– Observer doesn't HAS-A such pointer but receives it as argument when calling subscribe().
–Usage@@ I think most (if not every) events, listeners, subscribers, publishers … take some hints from the Observer pattern.
* swing — /Intimate/ knowledge helps you chip away at swing. Events and listeners are fundamental to swing.
* servlet — This pattern is also relevant for servlet listeners.


Bonding brothers, car naps and birthday party fun!
This part Saturday was a busy day. In the morning JL went outside to remove ice from the driveway since the temperature was going to get close to 45 degrees during the day. While he went outside the two boys were playing together. As mentioned before JSL loves to watch NHL and laughs at everything he does. NHL just eats this attention up.
Here are the boys hanging out on the couch together. NHL just loves to hug his little brother and JSL is tolerates SO much since he is a very easy going baby.
NHL is not the only one that tries to entertain. Here is the little guy trying to get his big brother's attention. Instead of NHL laughing you can see JSL is the one about to laugh.
Can you tell the wheels are turning inside NHL's head?
Please note who now likes a binky. JSL is trying to be shy while thinking about playing peek-a-boo with his buddy.
We decided to wake NHL up to head inside. BIG MISTAKE!!!! The kid was a mess. He had a full blown temper tantrum in the parking lot. I let JL go ahead while I told NHL to be a big boy and go in. He suddenly did not want to go inside where the costume would be. I practically dragged him inside. He immediately wanted to hide inside the bathroom. B's mother knew about NHL's fear. She told me that they promised to warn us when the costume would come out and it would only be out at cake time. We told NHL this and after a little while he eased into playing some games.
Getting him to the table (where the cake and Chuck E Cheese would later be) would be tricky, but he eventually went with JL standing nearby. As promised we told him when and where the costume would be coming and he was pretty calm. The poor birthday did not do as well. He was shaking and VERY upset by the appearance of Chuck E Cheese. JL and I were floored that NHL actually wanted to Conga around the place with the costume! At the end of the time NHL did not want to go. He loved it and kept talking about wanting to go back – WAHOO! Now I do not feel as bad about being a "mean mommy" – LOL!
Now NHL keeps asking to go back – it looks like we may have created a monster. Mind you I reserve the right to wait and see if he goes in without kicking and screaming next time before I officially consider this a done deal.
« Tub full of my boys!

Aims: The phase scintillation of the European Space Agency's Venus Express (VEX) spacecraft telemetry signal was observed at X-band (λ = 3.6 cm) with a number of radio telescopes of the European Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Network in the period 2009-2013. Methods: We found a phase fluctuation spectrum along the Venus orbit with a nearly constant spectral index of -2.42 ± 0.25 over the full range of solar elongation angles from 0° to 45°, which is consistent with Kolmogorov turbulence. Radio astronomical observations of spacecraft signals within the solar system give a unique opportunity to study the temporal behaviour of the signal's phase fluctuations caused by its propagation through the interplanetary plasma and the Earth's ionosphere. This gives complementary data to the classical interplanetary scintillation (IPS) study based on observations of the flux variability of distant natural radio sources. Results: We present here our technique and the results on IPS. We compare these with the total electron content for the line of sight through the solar wind. Finally, we evaluate the applicability of the presented technique to phase-referencing VLBI and Doppler observations of currently operational and prospective space missions.

From measured curiosity to utmost respect and admiration. Such was the process that I went through while playing Outward, and I suppose this is what should happen with every survival RPG worthy of the label. Nine Dots Studio has crafted an amazing and brutal open world where only the strongest survive. The strongest being the ones who strive for the best gear and abilities.
Outward is the perfect game to celebrate the little things, such as a better weapon, a proper backpack and… gasps… some clothes that prevent you from freezing to death. Small victories indeed. This is a game where a snowstorm can be almost as dangerous as a mythical fire creature.
I don't tend to judge a game by its cover, but Outward's character creation is very limited and highlights its somewhat crude character models. A couple of hours into the game, I had completely forgotten about this, as I marveled at the beautiful world design and everything that made it feel real: day and night cycle with transitions that are smooth as butter, dynamic weather, and a color palette that isn't afraid to go full garish when it must.
However, it is a brutal, pitiless world. Your first proper task is to earn some coins to save your lighthouse, and if you fail, homeless you are. Not that it matters that much; if you always keep a bedroll or a tent on you, you can lie down and rest for a while in most places. Preferably do it inside safe walls or you may be at risk of being assaulted.
Knowing that you're not the chosen one or someone with special powers makes for a nice change. You're just you, who happens to be down on his luck as well – when it rains, it pours. Get out of the Cierzo gates without listening to fellow advice and you'll be eaten alive by bandits and all kinds of fantastical creatures. Take the time to learn some skills from trainers, do a favor here and there, and eventually you will become stronger. Not strong, per se, but at least stronger that your former pitiful self.
Outward demands patience and rewards perseverance. Finding some better loot sitting deep in a dark cave is worthy of celebration and getting your first backpack or tent is a moment to treasure forever. Being able to face an enemy without fear of being crushed is as rare as it is exciting but be prepared to run – a lot! You'll run not just to explore the huge areas of Aurai, but also flee from several types of enemies who can easily one-shot you, Dark Souls-style.
The world of Aurai has its own rules, so it's not uncommon to find a couple of bandits being attacked by a random beast. You watch closely as one swings his sword and the other throws some ice magic from afar, completely ignoring the fact that you, the one that everything should revolve around, is right there, excitedly staring. This is the kind of emergent gameplay that every RPG should feature, and while it's not without its bugs, with creatures getting worked up about a small fence or rock and losing their temper, it's always exciting to see.
No matter your overall strength and gear, there is always someone stronger than you around the corner, so don't be ashamed to make a run for it – a living coward always gets away with more loot than a dead hero. Outrunning your enemies isn't an easy task, mostly due to stamina concerns, but it's highly recommended. You can also avoid confrontation by stealthily moving in the shadows, trying to go by unnoticed as the walking horror has turned its back for a moment. A few potions may even help you with this strategy.
For all its brutality and unforgiving nature, Outward does have a brilliant detail to bring some sense to your frequent dying. Instead of punishing you in disheartening ways, the game works your passing into the story, as if it was always a part of the whole picture. There are many ways that you can be "saved" from an untimely demise, such as awakening as a prisoner to bandits or cave creatures, being rescued by someone in gleaming white armor and safely returned to a city, or managing to drag yourself from a dangerous cave in the very last minute. Accomplished artifices to mask traditional in-game death.
You'll be struggling with your inventory more frequently than you do with real enemies. There's the equipment you are currently using, such as clothes, helmet, torches and weapons, and then you have your pockets for a few more objects within a strict weight limit. This is the bare minimum, as a primitive satchel should be with you early on, to carry more loot. However, it's only when you have enough silver coins to purchase a proper backpack that you feel complete – not to mention acquiring the best weapon from a blacksmith.
Always keep a few waterskins with you, as well as diverse types of rations. You may be fighting fantastical creatures, giants, bandits and whatever comes your way, but environmental hazards are a case for major concern. A snowstorm can swiftly freeze you, while thirst and hunger must be constantly taken care of. Infectious diseases are another hot topic and pausing your adventure to get some sleep is crucial.
There is one issue with Outward that I somewhat understand, considering its challenging survival nature, but I can also see some players complaining about it. The lack of a mini-map can be disconcerting, with the compass and full-screen map not being good enough substitutes. It's far from easy to pinpoint your position in the huge areas just by looking at the map, leading to some frustratingly hopeless wandering and loss of valuable time and consumables. But hey, maybe it's a feature, intentionally designed to add to the survival feel of the package? I'm inclined to think so.
Combat in Outward is serviceable, but it is far from being the best part. Sure, there are tons of options and weapons to try, including magic spells, but it's not of 'The Witcher' quality, for example. In all fairness, at times it feels more Dark Souls than anything else. There's something odd about it that I can't quite point my finger at, but it has to do with hit detection, or lack thereof. This doesn't mean that you can't have a lot of fun picking off your enemies from afar with a bow and arrow, swiftly dropping the backpack to the ground as to not let it slow down your dodge, and unsheathing your sword to finish the remaining opponent in an exciting duel.
I couldn't possibly write anything about Outward without mentioning the musical score. What a positively awe-inspiring work, worthy of massive praise! Every survival RPG gets that little bit better when you are alone out there, with nothing but these gorgeous and diverse music tracks to help shape your story. Sublime!
One final mention goes to the innovative two-player split-screen option. You can go on an adventure with a friend, both locally or online, splitting the screen in two. This is unusual enough to deserve a round of applause, and if you have a friend willing to go the distance with you, Outward will surely be an even more memorable experience.
While it may not be the survival experience of the decade, Outward is shaping up to be an incredible experience that is bound to draw comparisons to Skyrim or similar titles. It's intimidating and harsh, as much as it is beautiful and rewarding. Fans of the genre will feel at home in this brave new world.
Outward is coming on March 26 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Q: Magento 2: How to get custom shipping address fields value from collectRates function in custom shipping method? I'm working on a custom shipping method and I need to get the value of 2 custom fields(latitude & longitude) from the shipping address, in collectRates function of the shipping method. I used this extension to create the 2 fields latitude and longitude: https://store.webkul.com/magento2-google-maps-pin-address.html
Here are the things I've already tried:

*

*php input - this is working for guest users but not working on logged in users with saved address, since they doesn't have fields from the saved shipping address in checkout.

*from quote_address table - upon installing the webkul extension, it also created 2 columns in this table which is latitude and longitude. when selecting state/province and the shipping methods refreshed, some data from the shipping address fields are saved there like street address, city, region, etc. but the latitude and longitude data are still blank.

*from checkout session - same as above, there is a 2 additional data which is the latitude and longitude but the values are null.

Cosmo's Factory è il quinto album in studio dei Creedence Clearwater Revival, pubblicato il 16 luglio 1970 dalla Fantasy Records. È l'album di maggiore successo per il gruppo, che mantiene per nove settimane la posizione numero 1 della Billboard Pop Albums Chart Billboard 200, ricevendo quattro dischi di platino negli Stati Uniti.

Il disco
Il nome dell'album deriva dal magazzino a Berkeley dove la banda provava. John Fogerty era solito provare tutti i giorni, tant'è che il batterista Doug "Cosmo" Clifford iniziò a riferirsi al locale come "la fabbrica".

Il brano Run Through the Jungle è un'asperrima critica alla guerra nel Vietnam, e uscì come singolo, ottenendo un certo successo.
La cover di I Heard It Through the Grapevine è la canzone più lunga in assoluto incisa dal gruppo americano. Uscì come singolo solo nel 1976, per anticipare la raccolta Chronicle, Vol. 1

Nel 2003 l'album è stato inserito nella posizione 262 della lista dei 500 migliori album secondo Rolling Stone.

Q: MySQL assertion I'm a MySQL and SQL newbie, I just discovered that MySQL doesn't support assertions.
I've those tables:

create table stagione
  (
    nome           varchar(20),
    biennio        char(9),
    teatro         varchar(20),
    primary key(nome, biennio),
    foreign key (teatro) references teatro(nome)
on update cascade on delete set null
  )
  ENGINE=InnoDB;

create table produzione
  (
    produttore     varchar(20),
    spettacolo     varchar(40),
    primary key(produttore, spettacolo),
    foreign key (produttore) references produttore(nome)
                on update cascade on delete cascade,
    foreign key (spettacolo) references spettacolo(titolo)
                on update cascade on delete cascade
  )
  ENGINE=InnoDB;

create table proposta
  (
   nomeStagione varchar(20),
   biennioStagione char(9),
   spettacolo varchar(40),
   primary key(nomeStagione, biennioStagione, spettacolo),
   foreign key (nomeStagione, biennioStagione) references stagione(nome, biennio)
on update cascade on delete cascade,
   foreign key (spettacolo) references spettacolo(titolo)
 on update cascade on delete cascade
  )
ENGINE=InnoDB;

with mysql I have no way of writing assertions. Is it possible to simulate the following assertion using one or more triggers ?

crate assertion RA2 check (
    not exists (
      select stagione.teatro, stagione.nome, stagione.biennio, count(*)
      from (stagione join proposta on
           (stagione.nome = proposta.nomeStagione) and
           (stagione.biennio = proposta.biennioStagione))
           join produzione on
           (proposta.spettacolo = produzione.spettacolo) and
           (stagione.teatro = produzione.produttore)
      group by stagione.teatro, stagione.nome, stagione.biennio
      having count(*) > 2
    )
  );

how should I write that trigger?

A: If I understand correctly your schema then you can enforce your rule by a trigger like this
CREATE TRIGGER tg_proposta_before_insert
BEFORE INSERT ON proposta
FOR EACH ROW
  SET NEW.nomeStagione = IF(
    (
      SELECT COUNT(*) total
        FROM proposta p JOIN produzione d
          ON p.spettacolo = d.spettacolo
       WHERE p.nomeStagione = NEW.nomeStagione
         AND p.biennioStagione = NEW.biennioStagione
         AND d.produttore =

             )
    ) < 2,
    NEW.nomeStagione,
    NULL
  );

In order for it to work you have to have NOT NULL constraint on nomeStagione column in proposta table. You better have such constraints on all columns that are participate in primary keys anyway
Some explanation:

*

*It's a BEFORE trigger because it's the only event in MySql in which you can alter values of columns of a row being inserted. You access those values using NEW keyword.

*Now when you try to insert a row into proposta it checks if there are already two plays for the same theater play of which you're trying to insert it violates NOT NULL constraint on nomeStagione column (it can be any other column) effectively preventing this insert from being completed.

Here is SQLFiddle demo. Try to uncomment the last insert statement and Build Schema. You'll see that it won't let you to insert that row. It would've been a third play for that theater in this season.

Since I began writing Children at the Window one thing after another has happened that has kept me from writing it. My dad suffered two aneurysms 6 months apart, my publisher and I had a falling out – and by falling out I mean she won't pay me my royalties and has fallen off the face of the earth -, and twice my program has crashed (on a new computer) deleting two chapters. Did I mention it happened twice? In a row?
Anyway, all it did is made me want to finish it more and if anyone knows me, knows this is the LONGEST it's taking me to complete a manuscript.
So, I'm convinced this book is cursed – and I can't make any promises that it won't bring black eyed children to anyone who reads it.
Month 1! Month 1's challenge was to pick a book made into a movie. My pick was The Fifth Wave, which comes out in a few days! It's a trilogy, and I just started on book 2 – The Infinite.
After I read a book, I read the reviews. (Is that backwards? oh well) The negative reviews on this book seem to like the first half of the book and not the second half. I'm the opposite, I thought the first half was ok and the second half was much better.
It's YA. Ya and Romance to me, are so heavily trope filled that it's hard for me to take them much seriously. Especially when it comes to YA Paranormal or YA Sci-Fi. On a side note, I thought Thirteen Reasons Why was fantastic and original. Hopefully YA takes note and dishes out less trope and more awesome.
With that said, I actually enjoyed this book. It's like The Host meets Hunger Games. (I said it was tropey, didn't I?) There's some major major plot holes in the story that bug me. It's not like the type of plot hole where someone is injured in one part of the story but not the other. No, I mean plot hole as in a big stinking giant gaping hole right smack in the middle of the plot.
The writing was unique and I really hate to do this, but the style reminds me of how I wrote The Apocalypse. Seriously, read all my reviews – I NEVER compare my books to any of them. But I kept feeling very Apocalypse-y as I read this. I'm not sure if it's a good thing – especially since at times I found the writing very jarring and almost confusing. (Now I'm questioning my own writing – of course). My only other issue with the book was the military depiction. It was cheesy. I really don't think there was any military research done and that really bugs me. Mostly because if you're writing to young readers, you should do them (and society) a favor and build in some accuracies.
Ok – but I still like the book. Overall, I enjoyed the story and got pretty creeped out. The author did a fantastic job of painting apocalyptic imagery. So good that I got depressed at times. The imagery is worth the entire story alone. At times, it was poetic. All in all, I recommend this as a read. I'm moving onto book 2 now and contemplating what I'll read for next month's challenge.
You can join the challenge any time! Just click here to read the challenge and don't forget to share your January movie/book read in the comments!


Honestly, I kind of forgot how crazy this sounds because it's been over a year since I made the decision. I know it may seem like I made a horrible mistake, but it was actually a great move and that's why I want to share my journey with you. I think it's best to just talk you through what happened, instead of writing out a jumbled mess. If you need some inspiration to change, whether you're in college or not, I hope you find it in this video.
As always, please share your experiences and thoughts in the comments. I read and reply to everyone. Thanks for reading and watching!

The events described in the Torah were written by Moshe Rabbeinu, exactly as transmitted from Hashem, after those events occurred. For example, the incident of the Mergalim was written after this incident occurred and the Korach rebellion was recorded in the Torah after this event transpired. While there is a dispute (Gittin 60a) whether the events of the Torah were recorded after each specific incident (Torah Megillah Megillah Nittenah) or only towards the conclusion of Sefer Devarim and Moshe Rabbeinu's life (Torah Chatumah Nittenah; all agree that Moshe Rabbeinu wrote the Torah up to the events of Har Sinai at Har Sinai – see Rashi to Shemot 24:4), all agree that the events were recorded only after each event occurred.
There are indeed prophetic portions in the Torah, such as in Bilam's blessings and the Tochachot (sections of rebuke) at the end of Sefer VaYikra and Sefer Devarim. As noted by Rabbeinu Bachya, these sections record events before they occur. However, in these portions, the Torah makes it clear that these events will happen in the future. On the other hand, Moshe Rabbeinu's death is presented in the Torah in past tense as having already occurred.
Hence, the last eight Pesukim of the Torah (Devarim 34:5-12), which describe the death of Moshe Rabbeinu as having already happened, pose a serious difficulty. On the one hand, if Moshe Rabbeinu wrote these Pesukim in advance of his death, these Pesukim differ from the entire Torah. On the other hand, it is axiomatic that the entire Torah was written by only Moshe Rabbeinu, as indicated in Devarim 31:24, which states that Moshe Rabbeinu wrote the words of theTorah "until their completion." Is it possible that the last Pesukim follow the pattern of the rest of the Torah and record the events only after they occurred, but differ in that they were not written by Moshe Rabbeinu?
The Gemara (Bava Batra 15a) records a major dispute among the Tanna'im about this issue. Rabi Nechemyah argues that Yehoshua wrote these last Pesukim, whereas Rabi Shimon asserts that Moshe Rabbeinu wrote these Pesukim as well (although he was crying while writing these Pesukim; see Rav Yehuda Gershuni's Hagot BePharashiyot HaTorah for a summary of the major opinions explaining the meaning of writing in tears). Rambam (Hilchot Teshuvah 3:8 and Hilchot Tefillah 13:6) rules strongly in favor of Rabi Shimon, but Rashi (Devarim 34:5) cites both opinions. All opinions agree, however, that these Pesukim in some manner differ from the rest of the Torah. This phenomenon has Halachic implications for the Torah reading on Simchat Torah, as noted by the Gemara (ibid.).
According to Rabi Shimon and Rambam, these events are prophetic when written by Moshe Rabbeinu but are written in the past tense because they are "as good as done." Some refer to this writing style as "prophetic past" and note that this phenomenon appears on occasion later in Tanach, such as in Yeshayahu 5:13, Iyov 5:20 and Divrei HaYamim Bet 20:37.
It is reasonable to suggest that even Rabi Shimon and Rambam would agree that these last eight Pesukim were not revealed to the entire Jewish People until after these events occurred. Thus, the Pasuk (Devarim 34:9) that states that the Jewish People were obedient to Yehoshua subsequent to Moshe Rabbeinu's death was not known to us until it occurred. It is possible that Moshe Rabbeinu wrote the last eight Pesukim in prophetic past before his death but handed these Pesukim to a very limited group of students who revealed these Pesukim as Moshe Rabbeinu's writing only after the events occurred.
Malbim (introduction to Sefer Tehillim) suggests the same approach regarding Rabi Meir's opinion (Pesachim 117a) that David HaMelech composed the entire Tehillim. A problem with this opinion is that Tehillim includes Mizmorim that mourn the loss of the Davidic kingdom (Mizmor 89) and the exile to Babylon (Mizmor 137) as well as those that celebrate Shivat Tziyon, the return to Zion to build the Second Beit HaMikdash (Mizmor 126). Malbim explains that this opinion believes that David HaMelech composed these Mizmorim but handed them only to a small coterie of students, who, in turn, handed them to subsequent generations of limited groups of students, to be revealed to the entire Jewish People only when these Mizmorim would become relevant.
Rav Hayyim Angel suggests that the same applies to Yeshayahu's prophecy (chapter 45) that seems to be about the Persian Emperor Koresh (Cyrus) establishing his empire. The problem is that Yeshayahu lived approximately two hundred years before Koresh conquered and succeeded the Babylonian empire. One may explain that Yeshayahu prophesied about this event long in advance of its occurring, but the prophecy was revealed to all only after Koresh fulfilled the prophecy.
Ibn Ezra occasionally presents daring approaches to Pesukim that are at variance with Chazal in the narrative portions of the Chumash. Ibn Ezra presents a Peshat (straightforward explanation without the aid of Midrashim) approach to Chumash, which he believes may vary with Chazal's Midrashic approach to sections of Chumash that do not have direct Halachic implications.
In Devarim chapter 34 (Pasuk 1), Ibn Ezra argues that the entire Perek was written by Yehoshua after Moshe Rabbeinu's death. Thus, Ibn Ezra extends Rabi Nechemyah's opinion and argues that the last twelve Pesukim were written by Yehoshua. Ibn Ezra is compelled by Devarim 34:1-4's recording that Moshe Rabbeinu ascended Mount Nevo, apparently alone, where Hashem showed him Eretz Yisrael immediately prior to his death. Ibn Ezra notes that the Pesukim do not record that Moshe Rabbeinu descended the mountain after this episode. Thus, Moshe Rabbeinu did not have the opportunity to record this event after it happened and then transmit it to Bnei Yisrael. Accordingly, Ibn Ezra concludes that Yehoshua wrote also the first four Pesukim of Perek 34, after the event occurred. Ibn Ezra explains that Hashem presented Yehoshua with the information after the event (otherwise, how could Yehoshua have known what happened after Moshe Rabbeinu ascended Har Nevo?).
Rabi Nechemyah could defend his opinion that Moshe Rabbeinu wrote the first four Pesukim of Perek 34 (although he believes that the last eight were written by Yehoshua) by arguing that Yehoshua accompanied Moshe Rabbeinu in his ascent to Mount Nevo. Support for this answer may be derived from Yehoshua's being the sole individual who waited for Moshe Rabbeinu after he ascended Har Sinai to heaven (Shemot 32:17) and from the Halachah (Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah 339:4) obligating us to Ensure that no one suffer the agony of dying alone.
Another possibility is that after Hashem showed him Eretz Yisrael, Moshe Rabbeinu did, in fact, descend from Har Nevo, in order to record this incident and transmit it to the Torah in accordance to Hashem's exact specifications. A third option is that Moshe Rabbeinu wrote the first four Pesukim while on Har Nevo after being shown Eretz Yisrael but before he died. Yehoshua later discovered the scroll written by Moshe Rabbeinu. This answer might be supported by Sefer Melachim's recording (Melacim Bet 2:16-17) that after Eiliyahu HaNavi died, his students scoured the area for his whereabouts. Yehoshua may have done a similar search for Moshe Rabbeinu's body, whereupon he discovered the scroll. There are, in fact, many parallels between Moshe Rabbeinu and Eiliyahu HaNavi, making the comparison an appropriate one.
Ibn Ezra could respond to all of these suggestions that "Ikar Chaseir Min HaSefer",– none of these suggestions are stated in the text. Rabi Nechemyah and Rashi could reply that this is an example of "Chisurei Mechasra," that the obvious need not be stated explicitly in the text when we could infer it independently.
The Or HaChayim (Devarim 34:9) severely criticizes Ibn Ezra's approach. He writing that heresy sprouts from this approach, as it strengthens the heretical belief that that the Torah has been edited and changed from its original state. The Or HaChayim emphatically endorses the opinion of Rabi Shimon and Rambam that Moshe Rabbeinu wrote all of the Torah, including the last eight Pesukim.
One wonders why the Or HaChayim singles out Ibn Ezra for criticism while not similarly criticizing Rabi Nechemyah or even Rashi, who presents Rabi Nechemyah as a viable option. After all, Ibn Ezra is simply expanding upon Rabi Nechemyah's opinion. One may respond that Or HaChayim is disturbed by Ibn Ezra's venturing beyond where Rabi Nechemyah and Rashi dared to tread. Rabi Nechemyah and Rashi limit their approach to the Pesukim regarding which it seems impossible for Moshe Rabbeinu to have written it during his lifetime.
Ibn Ezra appears to adopt a strikingly different tone in his grappling with BeReishit 36:31-39, which lists eight generations of kings of Edom "before a king reigned in Israel." Ramban, Rashbam and Chizkuni all believe that the king of Israel described here is Moshe Rabbeinu. Ibn Ezra cites an opinion that the king in Israel described here is King Saul, and that BeReishit 36:31-39 mentions, by prophetic means, kings not born yet during Moshe's lifetime.
Why does Ibn Ezra embrace and even expand upon Rabi Nechemyah's opinion that a small portion of the Torah was not written by Moshe Rabbeinu yet vigorously reject a notion that BeReishit 36:31-39 was written after Moshe Rabbeinu's death? One may answer that the end of the Torah is a more fitting place to view as a codicil added to the end of the Torah by the leading student of Moshe Rabbeinu after the latter's death. In addition, it is acceptable to the Ibn Ezra to claim that Yehoshua completed the Torah, since he was in the "same league" as Moshe Rabbeinu.
Chazal (Bava Batra 75a) compare Moshe Rabbeinu to the sun and Yehoshua to the moon. This statement captures the notion that although Yehoshua was a lesser prophet than Moshe Rabbeinu (as indicated by Devarim 34:10, which states that a prophet like Moshe Rabbeinu never arose amongst Israel), he is at least comparable to Moshe Rabbeinu. Moreover, Moshe Rabbeinu states (Devarim 18:15) that Hashem will send us a prophet "like me," and Ibn Ezra interprets this as referring to Yehoshua. It cannot be referring to other prophets, since they cannot legitimately be compared to Moshe Rabbeinu. In fact, Ibn Ezra interprets the phrase "until this very day" in Devarim 34:6 (which states that no one has discovered the location of Moshe Rabbeinu's grave "until this very day") as referring to the end of Yehoshua's life. Ibn Ezra does not explain this Pasuk, which potentially could be understood to refer to a much later time, to refer to a time later than the death of Yehoshua. Thus, Ibn Ezra cannot countenance the idea of a Pasuk being added to the Torah by someone other than Yehoshua.
While there is vigorous debate regarding the authorship of the last eight (and perhaps twelve) Pesukim in the Torah, there is no debate regarding the authorship of the rest of the Torah. Moshe Rabbeinu's authorship of the rest of the Torah is a pillar of our belief, and Orthodox Judaism cannot countenance deviation, however minor, from this principle of faith. Orthodox Judaism by definition has "red lines," and if one crosses them, he or she is no longer defined as Orthodox. As open as Ibn Ezra was to bold and innovative approaches within Chumash, his stern comments in his commentary to BeReishit 36:31 demonstrate that he had clear limits and boundaries beyond which he dared not cross.
I acknowledge the assistance I received from Rav Dr. Andrew Schein's essay on this topic.


Athletic Club have big dreams for this year's installment of the Europa League. The Lions believe that they have a squad capable of winning the title and are going all out in pursuit of that goal. For that to happen, they must first advance past the group stage which officially began on Thursday against Hertha Berlin in Germany. It was a tale of two halves as the Basque giants dominated the first 45 minutes but saw their hosts do the same after the break. The game eventually ended in a scoreless draw but that should not deter fans from being satisfied with the result. Let's break down some of the talking points from Thursday's draw in Germany.
With all of the praise that Kepa Arrizabalaga gets on a daily basis it is easy to forget that Iago Herrerín is also a very good goalkeeper. On Thursday night he was as important as ever and was arguably the man of the match for Athletic Club, making six saves and keeping a clean sheet in a difficult road game. In the first half the 29-year-old was barely called into action, only claiming a few crosses, but in the second half he had made three saves that all could perhaps should have been goals for Hertha Berlin. The clean sheet was Athletic's fifth in a row in all competitions, but was certainly due to Herrerín more than anything else.
Herrería style still has some fans nervous at times. He is never shy to leave his line and always looks to win aerial balls. On Thursday his punches out of the box kept some promising creativity from forming and may have been just as big as his saves. Moving forward, the Lions will be hoping for the keeper to continue with this run of form. He is playing perhaps his best football of his career and that is definitely needed if they want to have another deep run in the Europa League.
Throughout the course of this game there were several interesting decisions from the referee that went against both sides. In the first half, Iker Muniain beat three defender and was running onto a ball in the box. Had he finished his run he would've only needed to beat the keeper to score a goal, but that didn't happen. Instead, a defender tripped and handled the ball with his arm while falling to the ground, completely redirecting the pass from Mikel Vesga. All of the Athletic players began to protest, but the referee waved play on. Many fans will look back at that moment and wonder what could have been.
In the second half Hertha Berlin would get their own questionable no-call when an attacker turned around in the box and was knocked down by Aymeric Laporte. To be fair, he did seem to go down very easily, but that doesn't change the fact that he was fouled. If that had happened to an Athletic player the fans would have wanted the penalty called. Instead, the referee once again waved play on. Besides these two big moments there were several calls for weak, almost nonexistent fouls, on both teams while some rougher challenges were ignored. In the end it was a relatively even match from an officiating standpoint, but there were still some very odd decisions made.
Because of how well Athletic dominated the opening half hour, fans have been relatively upset over the scoreless draw. Most fans are upset after watching 90 minutes without a goal, but that doesn't always mean that the result was bad. In fact, earning a point on the road in Germany is actually a favorable result for the Lions. On paper this trip to Berlin was the hardest game of the entire group and they walked away with a point, no injuries, and their heads held high. The next time these two meet will be at the San Mamés and that will be a huge encounter.
There are still five games left in the group so there will be plenty of chances for Athletic to pick up points. They were lucky to play their hardest match to open up the group stage and taking a point away is never a bad thing in that situation. Kuko Ziganda was also able to rotate his team once again, changing five players from Sunday's match against Girona. His rotational policy has been paying off in a big way and will continue to provide strength and continuity as the season progresses. For now, it's back to the La Liga, but the match against Zorya Luhansk is looming large.

BEIJING -- Chinese President Xi Jinping recently sent a message to Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, congratulating him on liberia's victory in its fight against the deadly disease Ebola.
China and Africa are good partners and friends and it is incumbent on China to support Africa in fighting the Ebola epidemic, Xi said in the message.
At a crucial time when African countries including Liberia were hit by the Ebola epidemic in early August of last year, the Chinese government and people took the lead in offering several rounds of emergency humanitarian aid and made positive contribution to Liberia's victory over Ebola, Xi said.
Xi noted that the Chinese government and people warmly congratulate on and highly appreciate the fact that the Liberian government and people, under the staunch leadership of President Sirleaf, spared no efforts to fight and terminate the Ebola epidemic in the country.
China is willing to actively participate in "post-Ebola" economic and social reconstruction, and will strengthen the friendly cooperation of mutual benefit in various areas between the two countries so as to bring more benefits to the two peoples, Xi said.
Earlier this month, the World Health Organization announced that the outbreak of Ebola virus in Liberia is over, and Sirleaf sent a message to Xi and thanked China for its huge contribution to Liberia's fight against Ebola.

The Phillies and Red Sox battled in a close matchup that ended with a Tommy Joseph sacrifice fly to win the game in the bottom of the ninth.
The Phillies and Red Sox provided a rather close matchup for a spring training game as the score was always within a run after the fifth inning. It was Philadelphia who came out on top, 6-5, thanks to a walk-off sacrifice fly from Tommy Joseph.
The game did not start off well for Aaron Nola as he gave up a two-run home run in the top of the first inning to Pablo Sandoval. He then gave up another run in the second to put Philadelphia behind by three. It could've been worse as Nola stranded runners in scoring position in both innings. Nola did throw a scoreless third and racked up six strikeouts on the day.
The Phils scored their first run in the bottom of the third on a Roman Quinn solo home run, his first of the spring. It just cleared the left-center field fence, and Quinn didn't even realize it was a home run until he rounded second and could see that it had gone over.

Nola struck out the first batter he faced in the fourth, but with his pitch count rising, Ben Lively came in to replace him. Lively didn't allow a run in the inning despite a two-out double, but he did give up a run in the top of the fifth inning.
The bottom of the fifth was where the Phils offense really got going as they scored three runs to tie the game at 4-4. With runners on second and third, Cesar Hernandez laced a grounder to first base to score Bryan Holaday.
Howie Kendrick grounded another ball to the first baseman who tried to throw out Quinn at home, but his arm was no match for the speedy Quinn as he scored. Kendrick stole second and Michael Saunders knocked a RBI single to cap off the inning.

After Lively gave up another run in the top of the sixth, the Phils scored a run on an error to tie the game back up, this time at 5-5. They had a chance to break the game open with the bases loaded, but Maikel Franco grounded into a fielder's choice to end the inning.
Michael Mariot kept the Red Sox silent over 1.2 innings and Edubray Ramos struck out two batters in the ninth to keep the game tied heading into the bottom of the ninth.
Franco singled to start off the inning, and Pete Mackanin called upon Dylan Cozens to pinch-run for the third baseman.
Thanks to a pickoff error and a fielding error – Boston's third and fourth errors of the day – Cozens made it around to third with Saunders at first.
Joseph stepped up to the plate and with a 1-1 count flied a ball into left field. It wasn't that deep of a hit, so Cozens had to hustle to score the run. He did just that, using every inch of long 6'6″ frame to score on the play to win the game for the Phils.
