This page contains my original text and figures for the article that appeared in the February, 1991 DDJ. The article was originally written to be a 2 part feature, but was cut down to 1 part. Links to Part 2 are here and at the end of the article.
Data compression operates in general by taking "symbols" from an input "text", processing them, and writing "codes" to a compressed file. For the purposes of this article, symbols are usually bytes, but they could just as easily be pixels, 80 bit floating point numbers, or EBCDIC characters. To be effective, a data compression scheme needs to be able to transform the compressed file back into an identical copy of the input text. Needless to say, it also helps if the compressed file is smaller than the input text!
Dictionary based compression systems operate by replacing groups of symbols in the input text with fixed length codes. A well-known example of a dictionary technique is LZW data compression. (See "LZW Data Compression" in the 10/89 issue of DDJ). LZW operates by replacing strings of essentially unlimited length with codes that usually range in size from 9 to 16 bits.
In practice, the dividing line between statistical and dictionary methods is not always so distinct. Some schemes can't be clearly put in one camp or the other, and there are always hybrids which use features from both techniques. However, the methods discussed in this article use arithmetic coding to implement purely statistical compression schemes.
It isn't enough to just be able to accurately calculate the probability of characters in a datastream, we also need a coding method that effectively takes advantage of that knowledge. Probably the best known coding method based on probability statistics is Huffman coding. D. A. Huffman published a paper in 1952 describing a method of creating a code table for a set of symbols given their probabilities. The Huffman code table was guaranteed to produce the lowest possible output bit count possible for the input stream of symbols, when using fixed length codes. Huffman called these "minimum redundancy codes", but the scheme is now universally called Huffman coding. Other fixed length coding systems, such as Shannon-Fano codes, were shown by Huffman to be non-optimal.
When using very simple statistical models to compress the data, the encoding table tends to be rather small. For example, a simple frequency count of each character could be stored in as little as 256 bytes with fairly high accuracy. This wouldn't add significant length to any except the very smallest messages. However, in order to get better compression ratios, the statistical models by necessity have to grow in size. If the statistics for the message become too large, any improvement in compression ratios will be wiped out by added length needed to prepend them to the encoded message.
The most significant portion of an arithmetic coded message belongs to the first symbol to be encoded. When encoding the message "BILL GATES", the first symbol is "B". In order for the first character to be decoded properly, the final coded message has to be a number greater than or equal to 0.20 and less than 0.30. What we do to encode this number is keep track of the range that this number could fall in. So after the first character is encoded, the low end for this range is 0.20 and the high end of the range is 0.30.
After the first character is encoded, we know that our range for our output number is now bounded by the low number and the high number. What happens during the rest of the encoding process is that each new symbol to be encoded will further restrict the possible range of the output number. The next character to be encoded, 'I', owns the range 0.50 through 0.60. If it was the first number in our message, we would set our low and high range values directly to those values. But 'I' is the second character. So what we do instead is say that 'I' owns the range that corresponds to 0.50-0.60 in the new subrange of 0.2 - 0.3. This means that the new encoded number will have to fall somewhere in the 50th to 60th percentile of the currently established range. Applying this logic will further restrict our number to the range 0.25 to 0.26.
So the final low value, 0.2572167752 will uniquely encode the message "BILL GATES" using our present encoding scheme.
Given this encoding scheme, it is relatively easy to see how the decoding process will operate. We find the first symbol in the message by seeing which symbol owns the code space that our encoded message falls in. Since the number 0.2572167752 falls between 0.2 and 0.3, we know that the first character must be "B". We then need to remove the "B" from the encoded number. Since we know the low and high ranges of B, we can remove their effects by reversing the process that put them in. First, we subtract the low value of B from the number, giving 0.0572167752. Then we divide by the range of B, which is 0.1. This gives a value of 0.572167752. We can then calculate where that lands, which is in the range of the next letter, "I".
As it turns out, arithmetic coding is best accomplished using standard 16 bit and 32 bit integer math. No floating point math is required, nor would it help to use it. What is used instead is a an incremental transmission scheme, where fixed size integer state variables receive new bits in at the low end and shift them out the high end, forming a single number that can be as many bits long as are available on the computer's storage medium.
In the previous section, I showed how the algorithm works by keeping track of a high and low number that bracket the range of the possible output number. When the algorithm first starts up, the low number is set to 0.0, and the high number is set to 1.0. The first simplification made to work with integer math is to change the 1.0 to 0.999...., or .111... in binary.
At this point, the values are permanently stuck. The range between high and low has become so small that any calculation will always return the same values. But, since the most significant digits of both words are not equal, the algorithm can't output the digit and shift. It seems like an impasse.
The way to defeat this underflow problem is to prevent things from ever getting this bad. The original algorithm said something like "If the most significant digit of high and low match, shift it out". If the two digits don't match, but are now on adjacent numbers, a second test needs to be applied. If High and low are one apart, we then test to see if the 2nd most significant digit in high is a 0, and the 2nd digit in low is a 9. If so, it means we are on the road to underflow, and need to take action.
After every recalculation operation, if the most significant digits don't match up, we can check for underflow digits again. If they are present, we shift them out and increment the counter.
When the most significant digits do finally converge to a single value, we first output that value. Then, we output all of the "underflow" digits that were previously discarded. The underflow digits will be all 9s or 0s, depending on whether High and Low converged to the higher or lower value. In the C implementation of this algorithm, the underflow counter keeps track of how many ones or zeros to put out.
In the "ideal" decoding process, we had the entire input number to work with. So the algorithm has us do things like "divide the encoded number by the symbol probability." In practice, we can't perform an operation like that on a number that could be billions of bytes long. Just like the encoding process, the decoder can operate using 16 and 32 bit integers for calculations.
Now that we know what the range of low and high values are, all that remains is to pick a number to encode this message. The number "0.45" will make this message uniquely decode to "AAAAAAA". Those two decimal digits take slightly less than 7 bits to specify, which means that we have encoded eight symbols in less than 8 bits! An optimal Huffman coded message would have taken a minimum of 9 bits using this scheme.
To take this point even further, I set up a test that had only two symbols defined. The byte value '0' had a 16382/16383 probability, and an EOF symbol had a 1/16383 probability of occurring. I then created a test file which was filled with 100,000 '0's. After compression using this model, the output file was only 3 bytes long! The minimum size using Huffman coding would have been 12,501 bytes. This is obviously a contrived example, but it does illustrate the point that arithmetic coding is able to compress data at rates much better than 1 bit per byte when the symbol probabilities are right.
An encoding procedure written in C is shown in listing 1 and 2. It contains two parts, an initialization procedure, and the encoder routine itself. The code for the encoder as well as the decoder were first published in an article entitled "Arithmetic Coding for Data Compression" in the February 1987 issue of "Communications of the ACM", by Ian H. Witten, Radford Neal, and John Cleary, and is being published here with the author's permission. I have modified the code slightly so as to further isolate the modeling and coding portions of the program.
There are two major differences between the algorithms shown earlier and the code in listing 1-2. The first difference is in the way probabilities are transmitted. In the algorithms shown above, the probabilities were kept as a pair of floating point numbers on the 0.0 to 1.0 range. Each symbol had its own section of that range. In the programs that are shown here, a symbol has a slightly different definition. Instead of two floating point numbers, the symbol's range is defined as two integers, which are counts along a scale. The scale is also included as part of the symbol definition. So, for the "BILL GATES" example, the letter L was defined previously as the high/low pair of 0.60 and 0.80. In the code being used here, "B" would be defined as the low and high counts of 6 and 8, with the symbol scale being 10. The reason it is done this way is because it fits in well with the way we keep statistics when modeling this type of data. The two methods are equivalent, it is just that keeping integer counts cuts down on the amount of work needing to be done. Note that the character actually owns the range up to but not including the high value.
A short test program is shown Listing 3. It implements a compression/expansion program that uses the "BILL GATES" model discussed previously. Adding a few judiciously placed print statements will let you track exactly what is happening in this program.
BILL.C encodes an arbitrarily defined input string, and writes it out to a file called TEST.CMP. It then decodes the message and prints it to the screen for verification. There are a few functions in BILL.C that are modeling functions, which haven't been discussed yet. During the encoding process, a routine called convert_int_to_symbol is called. This routine gets a given input character, and converts it to a low count, high count, and scale using the current model. Since our model for BILL.C is a set of fixed probabilities, this just means looking up the probabilities in the table. Once those are defined, the encoder can be called.
Once you successfully understand how to encode/decode symbols using arithmetic coding, you can then begin trying to create models that will give superior compression performance. Next month's concluding article discusses some of the methods you can try for adaptive compression. A fairly simple statistical modeling program is able to provide compression superior to respected programs such as PKZIP or COMPRESS.
As I mentioned previously, the article in the June 1987 "Communications of the ACM" provides the definitive overview of arithmetic coding. Most of the article is reprinted in the book "Text Compression", by Timothy C. Bell, John G. Cleary, and Ian H. Witten. This book provides an excellent overview of both statistical and dictionary based compression techniques. Another good book is "Data Compression" by James Storer.

Q: Can't Pass A Parameter for Datatable in Modal React JS I have a datatable where it pops up a modal window if you select a row. I would like the modal window to display only a datatable of the selected row with additional details. However, passing in the selected row's ID for the modal window seems to not work and I don't know why? Or I'm not sure what is a better way to display information in a modal window?
**EDIT: I have discovered that if I replace this.state.TicketID with t and have t=0 then it also works so it must be something to do with calling this.state.TicketID within the x[]?
        const {id, created} = t
      })
      return (

        <Modal isOpen={this.state.modal} toggle={this.toggleModal} className={this.props.className}>
          <ModalHeader toggle={this.toggleModal}>Selected Item </ModalHeader>
          <ModalBody>
            <Datatable>

                       Ticket ID
                       Created On

                       {this.state.x[this.state.TicketID].id}
                       {this.state.x[this.state.TicketID].created}

              </Datatable>
          </ModalBody>
        </Modal>

      );
    }

TicketID is set in an outer function and is kept in the state object. It is updating as expected. I noticed if I do console.log({this.state.x[0].id}) then it works. However, if I do console.log({this.state.x[this.state.TicketID].id}), it gives an Cannot read property 'id' of undefined. Any help or new suggestions would be appreciated!

A: actually for the current use case you don't even need a modal level state, so you just make the modal component as pure component(normal js function) and pass the values as props!
    // pass these form the parent components
    const {isOpend , onToggle, ticket:{id,created} ={}}= props // or from `currentActiveTicket` as described below
    // if you mounting the modal element on the same datatable level
    // and you only change the state of the parent component
    // when a row is clicked you can add the `currentActiveTicket` as an object
   // value of what you want to display on the modal(make sense)
  })
      return (

        <Modal isOpen={isOpend} toggle={onToggle} className={this.props.className}>
          <ModalHeader toggle={this.toggleModal}>Selected Item </ModalHeader>
          <ModalBody>
            <Datatable>

                       Ticket ID
                       Created On

                       {id}
                       {created}

              </Datatable>
          </ModalBody>
        </Modal>

      );
    }

or you have to maintain the props changing and reflect that on  the modal state

for Example I have fallen into this kind of issues because I wasn't understanding  these concepts well enough - componentDidUpdate check the references on this

I bet some of you guys were starting to wonder if Bittersweet even existed 😉 Here's your proof. I've posted Chapter One, with the caveat that I may miss next or the week after due to scheduling issues. But I'd rather post at least the first chapter because I promised a June posting and I didn't want to miss another deadline. I hope you guys enjoy it! I have to go get my hair done, get a mani and a pedi because my best friend is getting married tomorrow and I have a ton of stuff to do.
This entry is part 1 of 34 in the series Bittersweet
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
'Cause they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time
– Open Your Eyes, Snow Patrol
After a long shift at Club 101, there was nothing Carly Corinthos loved more than taking her brand-new convertible racing along the high hills that bordered the north side of Port Charles. She'd shake off the frustrations of her day, letting them dissipate into the cold night air.
Spring had come early to upstate New York that year—the days were warm and sunny, the cherry blossom trees lining her mother's street had bloomed nearly a week ago, but the nights still held the bitter chill of winter.
But Carly wasn't thinking about the ice in the wind as she whipped around another corner. Everything in her life was finally just as it should be. She had her beautiful son, a great relationship with her mother, a cordial relationship with her ex-husband, a satisfying career—
She was even considering moving into her own house, but Michael loved the Brownstone and the quiet neighborhood with the park nearby. He liked being around his grandmother, around his uncle Lucas, and he liked when Elizabeth looked after him or picked him up from school. Her son was thriving for the first time in months, and Carly wasn't ready to rock the boat.
But soon, maybe. Or perhaps she'd ask her mother to rent the last empty apartment, even though it was across the hall from Marcus Taggert. It would give her some privacy, some space to herself and keep Michael in the same environment, with the same people.
She whipped around another corner and began to slowly decelerate, easing up on the gas and slowly tapping the breaks. Her brief free time was over, and it was time to get some sleep before having Sunday morning breakfast with Michael.
This was going to be year of Carly Corinthos and—
She took the last corner—the final one before she began the descent from the cliffs towards downtown Port Charles—but a flash of headlights blinded her vision. She jerked to the side, her car grinding against the guardrail that separated the road from the edge of the cliff.
There wasn't time to scream, wasn't time to think—There was a loud screech of metal, a grinding as a car slid past her.
Then her car was through the rail, teetering over the edge. Her hands shaking, she slowly reached for the car door—
Then everything went black.
Brownstone: Elizabeth and Gia's Apartment, Kitchen
Elizabeth raised the carafe of coffee to her nose, wrinkling as she looked at her scowling roommate. "Did you stay up all night again, Gia?"
"Finals," came the mutter from the dining table that had never seen a plate of food. The last four months had seen it put into use as a double desk—Gia for her political science and psychology classes and Elizabeth, who was struggling with art history and business.
"I know, but you could have at least cleaned out the coffee pot for me." Elizabeth rinsed the carafe before setting it back on the pot. "I could make the argument that if you hadn't spent the majority of the semester flirting with your classmates, you wouldn't have to put in so much effort now—"
"But you value your life, so you won't." Gia Campbell lifted her head from her studies and frowned. "Why are you up at—" She blinked blearily, trying to focus on the wristwatch on her arm. "Shit. Five o'clock?"
"Morning shift at Kelly's. I have to open." She stifled a yawn. "But I was up late working on a paper about Monet's use of color."
"None of that means anything to me—" Gia broke off her smart remark as a cell phone rang shrilly. "Ugh. It is too early for that nonsense. You need to change that ring tone—"
"I'll get right on that—" Elizabeth fished in the pocket of her robe and blinked at the caller screen. "Why is Lucas calling me—" But she had flipped it open before finishing her question. "Lucas—"
"Can you come downstairs? Right now?"
"Is Bobbie okay? What's wrong?" Elizabeth asked, already heading to her bedroom. The phone cradled between her ear and neck, she slid out of her pajama shorts and found a pair of jeans.
"Carly—she had an accident. Mom's freaking out. She wants to go to the station, but she's in no position to drive. We need you to come downstairs and watch Michael. Can you?"
"Ah, yeah. I'll be right down." Elizabeth closed her phone and dragged over a pair of sandals to slide her feet into. "Gia, can you call Courtney and ask her to open this morning? Carly had a car accident, Bobbie's freaking out—"
"How bad?" Gia asked. "Elizabeth—"
"I don't know, but it must—" And then Elizabeth stopped, her face pale. "Bobbie wants to go to the police station. Not the hospital."
"And Carly should have been home from the club hours ago. This is bad, isn't it?"
"And it's about to be worse," Elizabeth sighed. "Because Courtney—"
"Is married to AJ, which means the Quartermaines—"
"God, I hope she's okay," Elizabeth murmured, grabbing her keys, her purse and the phone. "Can you call her?"
"Yeah, yeah."
AJ and Courtney's Apartment: Bedroom
The shrill ring of their land line was a harsh wake-up call. Courtney Quartermaine jerked out of a deep sleep, blinking at the offending plastic piece of junk at her bedside.
"What the hell?" her husband AJ demanded at her side, his words slurred. "I had the second shift—"
And she'd closed the night before and hadn't been able to fall asleep until nearly one. Still, phone calls at—she looked at the clock—five-ten in the morning were never a good sign.
"Hello?" she all but yawned into the phone.
"Hey, sorry to call so early," Gia said, "but there's some kind of emergency. Carly was in a car accident of some sort, so Bobbie needs Elizabeth to look after—"
"Oh, no. Come on, Gia. I just closed—" Then the implications slid into Courtney's sleep-fuzzed mind. "How bad was the accident?"
"What accident?" AJ asked. "Was it Elizabeth? Is that why you have to go in?"
"I don't know how bad, Courtney, but Bobbie's going to the police station, not the hospital, and they waited to call her until now when Carly should have been home almost three hours ago." Gia sighed. "Elizabeth wouldn't ask, but Penny is still being trained, and—"
"I'm the only one who's trained for the opening shift, yeah." Courtney sighed. "I'll be there, but I might be a bit late."
"I highly doubt Bobbie is going to care if Kelly's opens at all, so it's not going to matter."
Courtney hung up and looked at her husband. God, this was the last thing she wanted to tell him because she knew the devastating implications if Carly didn't survive. "Carly didn't come home from the club last night apparently, and the cops called Bobbie this morning."
"They waited—" AJ closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "That's not a good sign."
"Gia didn't think so. Bobbie's going to the station to get more information, I guess she's too upset to drive, so Lucas is taking her, and Elizabeth is going to watch Michael—"
"So, you need to open." AJ swung his legs over the side of the bed. "I should get to the mansion—"
"Do you really need to?" Courtney asked, shoving the comforter back. "It's so early, and maybe they won't know yet—"
"When Grandfather finds out that Carly has been in a bad car accident, the first thing he'll do is find a lawyer to challenge Bobbie for custody. I have to head him off." He hesitated. "Because we don't know anything yet. If we go after Michael now before Carly's condition is clear, then we risk alienating the family court judge."
"And if it's the worst-case scenario?" Courtney asked softly. "AJ—"
"I don't know what'll happen," he admitted. "But I have to head off my family from making this situation worse."
Harborview Towers: Corinthos Penthouse, Living Room
The news trickled to Sonny almost two hours later, when Max knocked on the door to the penthouse. Sonny paused at the foot of the stairs, two steaming cups of coffee in his hands. "Yeah?"
"Uh, Boss?" Max stepped over the threshold, his face hesitant. "Benny's here. And there's—there's some news."
If his business manager was here this early, this couldn't be good. Maybe it was fortuitous that his lawyer was currently warming the sheets upstairs—though Alexis would be mortified if he fetched her now.
"Benny, what's up?" Sonny crossed the room, setting the coffee on the table as he met the older man at the desk, his hangdog expression so much more pronounced. "Benny?"
"There was a car accident around three this morning," Benny said. He set his briefcase on the desk. "We've spent the last few hours piecing together what the police know."
"Man, not one of our guys—" He stopped. "Three this morning," he finished.
"A witness called in a report—he saw a car swerve off the road, crash through the guardrail, and go over the side. He was on the phone with 911, calling in the make and model and the license plate when the car went over."
"God." Sonny closed his eyes. "Not the stupid red Porsche she bought with the divorce settlement—"
"By the time the authorities made it to the scene, by the time the Coast Guard was called in—" Benny stopped, exchanged a glance with Max, who stood solemn and silent. "Sonny, it's the same part of the road—I mean, it's where—"
"Where Brenda died," Sonny murmured, remembering the reports back then. "Jax saw the car go over the cliff, but the currents there are so strong that the car was swept away. The depths of the lake in that region—"
"The Coast Guard is still searching," Benny reported. "Mac decided to wait until morning, until he had something definite to tell Bobbie before waking her. When the Coast Guard realized the search would be extensive, and that it was unlikely she survived—he called her about five."
"Damn it," Sonny murmured. A pit formed in his stomach. "Ah, tell our source at the PCPD to keep us informed. I wanna know if it's—if it was an accident. Find Cody and Milo. I want them over at the Brownstone. Um—" He stopped. There were steps to take, things to be done, but he couldn't—
He couldn't think.
"Cody and Milo are already on their way. Bobbie and Lucas were at the station for a while, but Felicia drove them both home about thirty minutes ago. Elizabeth was with Michael. She's staying with them until around noon. Courtney's been stuck at Kelly's with Penny and Don by herself." Benny looked at Max. "Everything is good here?"
"Ah, yeah, yeah it is. We got it under control, Mr. C," Max told him.
"Thanks." He dismissed them both and returned to the coffee mugs, only lukewarm now. He stared at them for a moment, wondering if he ought to dispose of them.
Alexis Davis stepped around the landing, dressed in the business suit he'd peeled off her the night before. "I heard." She cleared her throat and came down the second flight of stairs. "I'm sorry, Sonny."
"Ah, yeah." Sonny looked at her, blinking. "I—"
"I think we should just chalk last night up to a mistake." Her cheeks flushed as she refused to meet his eyes. "It didn't—it never happened."
"Alexis—" he began, but she rushed past him and out the door. He thought about going after her, but he didn't have the time.
He crossed back to the desk, reached for the phone, and started to dial. It was time to track down Jason and bring him home.
Oasis Strip Club: Back Office
"You'll like the Paradise," Dominic Savarolli—Nico to his friends and intimates—told his protege. "It's not as refined as things here at the Oasis, but you won't have to complete with Coleman for the girls."
Zander Smith leaned back, a bottle of Rolling Rock clasped in his hands. "I'm not much interested in the girls who work here," he told his boss. "But I like the idea of being in charge."
Nico grinned. "Yeah, I'll bet you do. I'll talk to Sonny, but he's a rubber stamp at this point. He don't care who runs the crews as long as we make them money. He wants me to expand to Las Vegas, he's gonna have to let me put who I want in charge of the bookies and games here."
"Sonny's never cared much for me," Zander admitted. "After I dealt drugs for Sorel, he only let me live because I was useful."
"True, true," Nico replied. "But he put you to work with me instead of removing you permanently. You've done good work for me. And Sonny trusts me. I've been in the business through four bosses, I know talent when I see it."
And Zander was banking on Sonny deferring to Nico under those circumstances. His boss was in his early forties and had been running the Oasis and several clubs of its kind as fronts for gambling casinos for the better part of two decades. He'd started as a runner under Frank Smith and had managed to survive the rough transition between Moreno and Sorel.
When Sorel had been offed by his own kid, Nico had elected to toss his support behind a merger with Sonny rather than backing the upstart Mickey Roscoe.
Zander had briefly considered going to Roscoe. Mickey liked him better—they had worked the rave scene together for a few months, Mickey as the supplier and Zander as the guy on the scene. But Mickey didn't have the balls or head for this game, and now, all these months later, only accounted for a handful of bookies and a single holding company on Pier 52. He didn't have the juice to take on Corinthos, so Zander—ever the opportunist—had stuck with what he knew.
And now Nico was prepared to hand over the lucrative Port Charles gambling trade, so he could concentrate on the casinos in Atlantic City, the Caribbean, and a new one in Las Vegas. It was exactly the opportunity Zander had been counting on.
The door opened, and Nico's long-time right hand entered. Lenny Hauptmann's thin face looked drawn. "We got ourselves a situation, Nicky."
Nico grimaced, but Lenny had almost two decades on him and had watched him rise up in the ranks. Lenny liked the money and the girls—occasionally dipped in the product Nico still ran in the clubs under Sonny's nose—but he didn't want the power. He was happy to see his Nicky enjoy the fruits of their combined labor.
"What's up, Len?" Nico rose from his desk. "Ollie didn't report in? He's got his boys tracking down the last the money owed from the Super Bowl—"
"It's not business, Nicky. The boss's ex drove herself over the cliff last night. Or something. No one knows exactly what's going on, but her car is somewhere in the lake."
"Carly?" Zander asked. "She's dead?"
"They don't know that yet," Lenny reported. "But word on the street is they're not holding out much hope, what with the currents this time of year and the location of the crash. You know what this means, Nicky."
"Yeah." Nico rubbed his eyes. "Call the boys. Start flushing out the product."
"What's going on?" Zander asked. "Nico—"
"Carly's dead, her boy is up for grabs. Jason Morgan is gonna come back, and he ain't gonna let us get away with dealing the product. Sonny don't care as long as the books balance. Jason? He's funny about this kind of thing."
"Jason Morgan? No way. He hasn't been around for a year. He didn't even come home when his sister was in the accident." Zander felt the usual twinge when Emily entered his thoughts, but he'd put her out of his life.
He'd been a different man for her, but she hadn't wanted him. Fine. He had his own life to lead.
"Nicky's right, Smith. Morgan's gonna come back, even if it's to settle the estate. No way that dumb bitch didn't leave the kid to him. I remember when Moreno almost blew the kid up. Pure accident, of course," Nico murmured. "But Morgan nearly took him apart. And then walked away. He loves that boy like a son. He'll be home."
"Ah, Morgan doesn't really…" Zander coughed in his hand. "He doesn't care for me much after everything that happened with his sister."
Nico shrugged. "He knows you're working for Sonny. Morgan ain't never involved himself in low-level decisions. I'll get Sonny to sign off on it without Morgan in the room. Don't worry, Zander. Sonny wants me to go make money in Vegas, he's gonna have to let me do it my way."
Zander wished he could have the confidence of the man behind the desk, but he had a sinking feeling that if Jason Morgan did return to Port Charles, any chance of his rising higher than bone-cracking thug had died along with Carly Corinthos.
Quartermaine Estate: Family Room
AJ was convinced that the best decision he'd ever made was to walk away from this family two months ago. He'd had moments in the ensuing weeks as he and Courtney had struggled to pay bills on her tips until he'd completed training as a forklift operator and started working at the waterfront.
It was backbreaking work and he often fell into his bed at night, exhausted from the manual labor. But he knew he was making it on his own, and he hadn't had the urge to drink in in weeks.
He had one now as he stood in the estate's family room, just steps from the mini bar. His mother was at work, but his father and grandfather were debating the merits of one family law attorney over another. Alan wanted to stay local, while Edward wanted to bring in the best in the state. If not the world.
"They haven't even declared her dead yet," AJ muttered as he sat in the sofa and put his head in his hands. "Jesus, Grandmother."
"I'll talk to your grandfather, my love, but you know how he can be," Lila Quartermaine said in her soft, gentle voice. "I agree with you."
"How can you?" he demanded. "They haven't even asked me what I think yet."
"Because I know your heart, AJ." Lila reached for his hand and squeezed it once he placed it in her palm. Her grasp was not as strong as it had once been, but the comfort was there. Here was a woman who, even at the depths of her disappointment in him, believed he could do better.
"If she is dead—" And there was a surprising swell of grief for the thought that his nemesis and one-time friend had departed this world. "If she is dead," AJ began again, "I can only imagine what Bobbie's going through. I can't—how can we tell her now that she might have lost a second daughter, we want to take her grandson?"
"They're not considering Bobbie. They only see a chance to have Michael in their lives—"
"To shape him, to make him into the kind of Quartermaine they think he should be," AJ muttered, the resentment all but swallowing him whole. "Their chance at a new generation."
"I suppose that is one way to consider it." Lila said. "But I think they're attempting to get ahead of the situation."
"Because Jason will be coming home," AJ said, leaning back. "Sonny never adopted Michael, and I would bet anything Carly left Jason guardianship. It's not Bobbie we'll have to deal with. Carly would never leave this up to her. She's too close to the family."
"And if they can file a suit before Jason arrives, they hope to fast-track and present a fait accompli." Lila focused her soft blue eyes on her grandson. "But you would prefer to wait. To give Michael time to adjust. To allow Bobbie space to grieve." She smiled at him, pride shining in her gaze. "And that's exactly what we'll do. You leave it to me."
Hotel: Jason's Room
It was two days after the accident by the time Sonny's myriad of phone calls finally tracked Jason to a hotel in Mumbai, India, where he'd been spending the last few weeks.
Jason had taken in the news—including the fact that there had been no update and Carly was all but declared dead—and promised to be home as soon as possible.
Neither of them had spoken of the complications created by Carly's death or his return—that custody of Michael would be a pitched battle, that Sonny would have to create space for Jason to come back to his job—because his rivals would assume Jason would be back at Sonny's side whether he was or not.
They spoke of none of these things—only that Jason would catch the next flight out of India. He threw his things into a duffel bag, checked out, and headed home.

Creates instances of RegionAttributes. An AttributesFactory instance maintains state for creating RegionAttributes instances. The setter methods are used to change the settings that will be used for creating the next attributes instance with the create() method. If you create a factory with the default constructor, then the factory is set up to create attributes with all default settings. You can also create a factory by providing a RegionAttributes, which will set up the new factory with the settings provided in that attributes instance.
Once a RegionAttributes is created, it can only be modified after it has been used to create a Region, and then only by using an AttributesMutator obtained from the region.

Note that this attribute is only meaningful on the cache that is initiating an operation; it does not matter what it is set to on the cache that receives the operation.
How will the region in this cache subscribe to other distributed instances of this region.
Whether or not updates are sent to any defined Gateways If true, updates will be sent to all defined Gateways after they are applied to the local cache. Note that this attribute is only meaningful on a cache that defines Gateways.
Specifies the data storage policy.
The Class to constrain the keys to in the region.
The Class to constrain the values to in the region. In addition to the utility of this for applications in general, a valueConstraint is helpful for compiling queries.
The initial capacity of the map used for storing the entries.
The load factor of the map used for storing the entries.
The allowed concurrency among updates to values in the region is guided by the concurrencyLevel, which is used as a hint for internal sizing. The actual concurrency will vary. Ideally, you should choose a value to accommodate as many threads as will ever concurrently modify values in the region. Using a significantly higher value than you need can waste space and time, and a significantly lower value can lead to thread contention. But overestimates and underestimates within an order of magnitude do not usually have much noticeable impact. A value of one is appropriate when it is known that only one thread will modify and all others will only read.
Enables a distributed versioning algorithm that detects concurrency conflicts in regions and ensures that changes to an entry are not applied in a different order in other members. This can cause operations to be conflated, so that some cache listeners may see an event while others do not, but it guarantees that the system will be consistent.
Whether statistics are enabled for this region. The default is disabled, which conserves on memory.
Whether JTA transactions are ignored for this region. The default is to look for and join JTA transactions for operations performed on a region.
If not null then this region will write its data to the named DiskStore.
If true then any writes to disk done for this region will be done synchronously. This means that they will be in the file system buffer before the operation doing the write returns.
If false then any writes to disk done for this region will be done asynchronously. This means that they are queued up to be written and when they are actually written to the file system buffer is determined by the region's DiskStore configuration. Asynchronous writes will be conflated if the same entry is written while a previous operation for the same entry is still in the queue.
Whether or not a persistent backup should be made of the region.
Deprecated, use DataPolicy.PERSISTENT_REPLICATE or DataPolicy.PERSISTENT_PARTITION instead.
How region data should be written to disk. Determines whether data should be written synchronously or asynchronously. Data that is written asynchronously can be written at a certain time interval or once a certain number of bytes of data have been enqueued.
Deprecated, use setDiskStoreName(java.lang.String) and setDiskSynchronous(boolean) instead.
The directories to which the region's data are written. If multiple directories are used, GemFire will attempt to distribute the data evenly among them.
The size of the directory to which region's data is written.
How region data is partitioned among the members of the distributed system.
How access to the region is affected when one or more required roles are missing from the region membership.
Should this process become lock grantor for the region?
Are indexes built over in this region updated synchronously when the underlying data is modified?
If any of the following compatibility rules are violated when create() is called then an IllegalStateException is thrown. See validateAttributes(com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.RegionAttributes<?, ?>).
If any of the following rules are violated when createSubregion or createRegion are called, then an IllegalStateException is thrown.
A region with Scope.LOCAL can only have subregions with Scope.LOCAL.
Scope.GLOBAL is illegal if there is any other cache in the distributed system that has the same region with Scope.DISTRIBUTED_NO_ACK or Scope.DISTRIBUTED_ACK.
Scope.DISTRIBUTED_ACK is illegal if there is any other cache in the distributed system that has the same region with Scope.DISTRIBUTED_NO_ACK or Scope.GLOBAL.
Scope.DISTRIBUTED_NO_ACK is illegal if there is any other cache in the distributed system that has the same region with Scope.DISTRIBUTED_ACK or Scope.GLOBAL.
The default disk synchronous write setting Current value: true each.
Creates a RegionAttributes with the current settings.
as of GemFire 5.0, use addCacheListener(com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.CacheListener<K, V>) instead.
Sets this region's compressor for compressing entry values.
Enables or disabled concurrent modification checks.
Sets the concurrency level of the next RegionAttributes created.
Sets the idleTimeout CustomExpiry for the next RegionAttributes created.
Sets the custom timeToLive for the next RegionAttributes created.
as of 5.7 use setEnableSubscriptionConflation(boolean) instead.
Sets whether or not updates are sent to defined Gateways.
Sets the EvictionController for the next RegionAttributes created.
Sets the id of the GatewayHub to which events are distributed.
Sets the flag telling a region to ignore JTA transactions.
Set how indexes on the region should be maintained.
Sets the SubscriptionAttributes that describe how the region will subscribe to other distributed cache instances of the region.
Validates that the attributes are consistent with each other.
Deprecated. as of GemFire 5.0, use addCacheListener(com.gemstone.gemfire.cache.CacheListener<K, V>) instead.
Sets the CacheListener for the next RegionAttributes created. Any existing cache listeners on this factory are removed.
aListener - the cache listener to add to the factory.
Sets the idleTimeout expiration attributes for region entries for the next RegionAttributes created. Default is 0 which indicates no expiration of this type.
custom - the CustomExpiry to use; null means none will be used.
Sets the timeToLive expiration attributes for region entries for the next RegionAttributes created. Default is 0 which indicates no expiration of this type.
custom - the CustomExpiry to use, none if the default for the region is to be used.
Sets the idleTimeout expiration attributes for the region itself for the next RegionAttributes created. Default is 0 which indicates no expiration of this type is set.
Sets the timeToLive expiration attributes for the region itself for the next RegionAttributes created. Default is 0 i.e. no expiration of this type.
Sets the scope for the next RegionAttributes created. Default scope is DISTRIBUTED_NO_ACK. Refer gemfire documentation for more details on this.
evictAttrs - Explains how and when eviction occurs in the Region.
Sets the mirror type for the next RegionAttributes created.
Sets the data policy for the next RegionAttributes created. Default data policy is 'Normal'. Please refer gemfire documentation for more details on this.
Sets the entry initial capacity for the next RegionAttributes created. This value is used in initializing the map that holds the entries. Default is 16.
IllegalArgumentException - if initialCapacity is negative.
Sets the entry load factor for the next RegionAttributes created. This value is used in initializing the map that holds the entries. Default is 0.75.
Sets the concurrency level of the next RegionAttributes created. This value is used in initializing the map that holds the entries. Default is 16.
Enables or disabled concurrent modification checks. Concurrency checks are enabled by default.
Sets whether or not a persistent backup should be made of the region.
Deprecated. This setting no longer has any effect.
Sets whether or not acks are sent after an operation is processed.
Sets whether or not updates are sent to defined Gateways. Default value is false.
Sets whether or not conflation is enabled for sending messages to async peers. Default value is false.
Sets whether or not conflation is enabled for sending messages from a cache server to its clients. Default is false.
Deprecated. as of 5.7 use setEnableSubscriptionConflation(boolean) instead.
Sets the DiskStore name attribute. This causes the region to use the DiskStore.
Sets the PartitionAttributes that describe how the region is partitioned among members of the distributed system. This also establishes a data policy of PARTITION, if the data policy has not already been set.
Set how indexes on the region should be maintained. It will be either synchronous or asynchronous. Default is true.
Sets whether statistics are enabled for this region and its entries. Default is false.
Sets the flag telling a region to ignore JTA transactions. Default is false.
Sets whether this region should become lock grantor. Default value is false.
Sets whether distributed operations on this region should attempt to use multicast. Multicast must also be enabled in the cache's DistributedSystem (see "mcast-port"). Default is false.
Sets cloning on region. Default is false.
name - the name of the connection pool to use; if null or "" then the connection pool is disabled for regions using these attributes.
IllegalStateException - if a cache loader or cache writer has already been set.
IllegalStateException - if the attributes are not consistent with each other.

We will write a custom essay on This Boys Life by Tobbias Wolff specifically for you
This scene reminds me of a scene in the movie "American Beauty", Jack, who lacked communication with his parents, felt ignored and unimportant. The lack of communication with his parents made him feel useless, which led him to become frustrated and angry. He was trying to find any violent way to release his anger, by offering to rid his girlfriend of her father by offering to kill him. As time went by, Rosemary started dating a man named Dwight. They dated eachother for a couple of months and he eventually asked for her hand in marriage.
She considered asking her son for support. He gave her the encouragement but in reality he was very skeptical about the whole idea and he encouraged her in order to protect her feelings. During their marriage, they didn't seem happy. Dwight was a bad tempered man. After a long day at work, he would bring all his stress and tension that was bottled up inside of him and realease all that anger on 13 year old Toby. Toby was an easy target because of the fact that his mother doesn't come to his defense.
This led to behavioral problems with Toby. On weekends, Dwight would make Toby deliver newspapers, and he would keep every penny that Toby earned and worked so hard for. At school, Toby would get into many fights. When he would come home all bruised, Dwight would tell him stories about his young day when he used to beat up kids at school; This in a way encouraged Toby to keep fighting. This kind of influence that Dwight had on him led to a decline in Toby's academic performance.
Many adolescent teenagers in today's society are murdering, selling drugs, carrying dangerous weapons and eventually getting arrested. We turn on our television sets and hear shocking news about two teenage boys in Littleton, Colorado, shooting, even killing their own classmates. It makes you wonder, who is responsible? Parents play a big role in their children's lives. Children need attention, time and care. Many parents are to blame for their children's actions. Communication plays also plays a big role in our lives. Communication needs to be taught by example.
For example, asking your child how their day went, how their day at school was, what they ould like to talk about and what their aspirations are. Basically, being a good friend, listener and a role model. This is how you can open the doors of communication between you and your kid. That way, if the child is in trouble or needs your help, they'll know who to turn to. When kids aren't able to communicate, they become frustrated and they feel rebellious and do serious things that are harmful to their future, such as, doing poorly in school and thinking about committing violent crimes.

As everyone knows, within the human race there are males and there are females. We all figure out what our gender identity is at a young age.

Society believes that boys should grow up to be strong, dependant and bread winning in order to be a real man. These social standards that are expected from boys, can also be explained by social roles. We are cast into social roles at the moment we...

With each Backstreet Boy having his own unique experiences in such areas as: acting, singing, modeling, and playing instruments, it is obvious that it would add flavor to their phenomenal voices, and lead them to fame and fortune.

What Do You Look For in CAT Software?
In an effort to provide the court reporting community with some sort of way to differentiate one CAT from another, I have asked you (yes, YOU) to contribute an article on why you selected your CAT Software of Choice.
Ultimately, I'd like this series to be THE source people turn to when they are either going to get their first CAT system, or switch from their present software to another ... and in order to do this, I need your help.
Presented on this page are the various things that needs to be covered in the article I have asked you to write for ol' Cheap and Sleazy.
The items listed here have been selected from a rather lenghty thread (35 pages!) on the old NCRA Forum (described below). Not all of these will be important to everybody, but if it was important enough to the one person that suggested it, it may be important enough for 10 other readers of your article ... so that item should be included in your article.
Finally, I hope this isn't too ... overwhelming! Like I said, the original thread grew to 35 pages of suggestions ... and I have whittled those suggestions down to what you see here.
If you get stuck, send me an e-mail! I can probably suggest something for you to try.
I thank you, and your readers will thank you, for your efforts.
It all started with an innocent question on the Depoman forum.
"What software should I get?"
There ensued some strong opinions, and a few verbal fistfights over what software did what better.
This particular discussion prompted me to think that a series of articles written by working reporters explaining why they use the CAT software they use might be a good idea ... so I posted a question on the NCRA Forum and got back a *lot* of answers.
Unfortunately, life intervened, and I had to put the project on hold.
Hold time is over ... and here is the first message in that thread on the NCRA Forum, and what I would like to see in this series of articles ... and yes, I like pictures too.
Subject: CAT Software Selection: What do you Look for?
Over on the forum at www.depoman.com, Sue G.'s search for the Ultimate Answer to the CC vs. Eclipse question has prompted me to post this both here and on the afore-mentioned forum.
As some of you might know, I run a (cheap and sleazy) website aimed at students (see .sig).
As the site has been around for a couple years now, some of those students the site was aimed at originally have graduated (or are getting close to graduation) and have moved out into the Real World(tm) ... which prompts me to consider something radical: A series of articles detailing the pros and cons of all the CAT programs out there ...!
I plan on asking a few users of the various CAT programs to write something up for my website on their CAT software of choice (not trainers or company employees, but real, honest-to-Ghod working reporters).
Ideally, the articles would follow a set format ... hence the subject line.
What do you look for when you are trying to select a CAT system?
Personally, if the CAT system I am evaluating cannot import an .rtf dictionary, I simply cannot use it. The Phoenix Theory dictionary weighs in at a hefty 12 MB ... and expecting a customer to stroke all that in in this day and age of RTF/CRE standard file interchange is just plain nuts, IMO.
I also like ease of use -- but these articles are not going to be written by me, so the less I say about my likes and dislikes, the better.
So. You're looking to switch CAT software, or you're buying your very first system, and you come across all these articles on my website. What would you expect these articles to tell you?
What would sway you from one CAT program to another in your search?
As you might imagine, this is a big project I'm undertaking here ... I'm hoping to make it easier with your assistance!
"The Good ... the Cheap ... and the Sleazy --!"
As I might have mentioned, this series of articles is to be written by professionals in the field -- preferably not trainers that ONLY train others, but actual reporters/captioners or CART providers.
A brief listing of the CAT software previously used (the more, the better; gives a base for the writer to work from).
Why this software, and not that (referring, hopefully, to that list of previously used software)?
Vista Windows 7 Windows 8 compatible?
Any conflicts with anti-virus software?
Hardware key required? If so, what is the lost/damaged replacement policy?
Is there a student version available? How much is it? Is there a difference between the full version and the student version (page limit, etc.)?
Hardware/software compatibility: Are there any laptops the software just plain *won't* run on?
Does it react badly (or vice-versa) with anti-virus software? If so, which software? What happens?
Writer Support: Does the software support that ancient writer your mom used in school?
Can macros be made and used? Is it easy to do so?
Can you edit from the steno keyboard (including using macros)?
How is the crash recovery (auto-save, backups, etc.)?
How does the software handle conflict resolution?
How is the artificial intelligence, if any?
Are there multiple import/export formats?
Is the ASCII conversion good?
Dictionary handling: Edit in realtime? Add, delete, enable, disable dictionaries while still in realtime? Import from other CAT software?
Migration from other software: Can the software be configured to duplicate the commands/macros/etc. from the previous software?
Audiosync: Split transcript into two files and have audiosync follow suit? Is the audio clear? Is the feature well implemented (i.e., easy to use)?
How gracefully does it handle crashes? Does the audio file survive (i.e., is there a backup of the audio file somewhere?)? Does the transcript survive (i.e., is there a backup of the transcript available somewhere?)?
How easy is it to restore from backups in the event of a crash, as above?
Time-restricted? Type (e-mail, phone, web-based, etc.)?
Is support offered for older versions? If so, how far back?
Support contracts ... what happens if the contract expires and your installation disks are damaged/missing?
If support payment has lapsed, is there a cost to renew and upgrade to the latest version?
What about a return policy? Is there one? Is it in writing on their website?
Are the manuals well written? How is the Online Help (in software and/or on the website)? Is it easy to use? Does both the manual and the online help get updated when the software gets updated?
What is available, after you've made your purchase? Are there multiple types of training available (one-on-one, small groups, large groups, self-paced tutorials (how much interactivity vs. how much passive "watch this")? Online training? Remote training?)? Are there CEUs available?
How? Separate program, or possible from within the CAT program itself?
Are there a lot available?
What is the cost of the scopists' version?
How different is it from the reporter's version?
Is there a feature that you've seen in other CAT programs that you would like to see implemented in your CAT software?
Does your CAT software have a feature not matched in any other CAT software? If so, what is it?
As for ending the piece, perhaps a quick recap of what you feel are the best strengths of your CAT software of choice, and perhaps -- well, I'll leave that section up to the authors!
Hope that's not too overwhelming, but when I asked what people looked for in CAT software, I got a lot of answers, and I managed to boil them down to what you see here.
Also, if you could avoid having it look as though you're answering questions as you write, that would be great!
Finally, a bit about documents.
If you're using Word, please use the .doc format. While the old version of Word I have can convert the new .docx format back to .doc, it does take a disturbingly long time … so please use either .doc or .rtf.
Double-spaced (no line numbers, please!) paragraphs, etc.
Pictures should have a caption, and be in the document (I can copy them and crop them if necessary).
And speaking of pictures … screen shots would be good ... but if necessary, videos are good too (see the Jing Project: http://www.jingproject.com). Ideally, something short to show how to do something in your CAT software to show off that feature no one else has, or is little used, etc.
Other than that, that's it! Thank you for contributing to ol' Cheap and Sleazy.

Grim Fandango er et adventurespil af LucasArts fra 1998, som finder sted i et film noir-univers bygget på en Mayamytologi, hvori de døde i fire år skal rejse gennem ni underverdener. Jo bedre liv de har ført des mere behagelig rejse.

Hovedpersonen Manuel Calavera sælger rejser gennem underverdenerne, da han opdager korruption i organisationen.

Spillet lægger stor vægt på at opnå den rette noirstemning igennem design og musik. Der er hyppige henvisninger til film såsom Casablanca.

Spillet er skrevet af spildesigneren Tim Schafer, som der blandt andet også står bag det nyere spil Psychonauts og Brutal Legend. Historien i spillet består af 7.000 linjers stemmelagt dialog.
