These words have become our kind of slogan. Every day we went to our workshops without wasting time so that we could touch the canvases again and again, and pour the secrets of the paints on them. By attending this symposium, I have crossed the boundaries within me and realized that there is no such thing as impossible. I am sure that the Cyprus Museum of Modern Art will not only be the art center of the Cypriot community or the Turkish world, but its voice will also be heard throughout the world. Everyone knows how a butterfly or bird flies. You can see my flight at this exhibition. Dear Dr. Suat Günsel, once again, thank you very much for your hospitality." Zhardemov; "Life is short, art is endless" Another Kazakh artist Nurbek Zhardemov, whose solo exhibition would be opened, started his speech by greeting the Protocol and the guests; "Culture provides the spiritual nutrition of people. Years and centuries will pass, but then the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts will continue to be a family home that preserves culture and art for future generations. The works we have created are not only our contributions to the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts, but also to the culture of our children and grandchildren and to the world art. The land of Cyprus united us, provided us with an atmosphere full of creativity, brought together new friends and offered such an opportunity to contribute to the art world. We are grateful to Suat Günsel. I would like to conclude my speech with the words of a famous philosopher: 'Life is short, art is endless." Myrzashev; "Let's fly high and shake the world with our creative ideas like the huge nomads of this world." Kazakh artist Salimgali Myrzashev said, "When we first arrived, Mr. Günsel told us to fly high and the more we would fly high the more he would help us. And I flew. The modern language of my paintings on the canvas is 2D graphics. I come from the animation field, my size is 3D. I'd like to fly in 3D. In this context, I would like to remind Gumilev's work on passion, nomads and the world. Yeah, I'm a nomad! Gagarin was also a nomad, from Baikonur to distant worlds, searching for new living spaces for all mankind, out of the steppes, and he became a nomad of the modern world …Great Cengiz Khan! Only his name would shake the world. The Great Silk Road and through it the development and spread of culture were provided. Dear colleagues! Let's fly high and shake the world with our creative ideas such as the huge nomads of this world. I can't say goodbye. I mean, see you soon. Thanks for everything." Minister of Economy and Energy Hasan Taçoy; "Art is more powerful than anything. Continue with the power of art … " Minister of Economy and Energy Hasan Taçoy said that the exhibition to be opened today is different; "Everyone has outdone themselves, and everyone's words are important and beautiful enough to be a story and a book. Everyone came here prepared and the reason for this preparation is, of course, the beauties we see around us. I just found an article in front of me. I read the article, and I took something from him. An article written by one of our artists is really emotional and will surely direct our perspective towards art. He is saying "in this world, we come as guests". I'm not an artist, I can't take the brush in my hand and create such a beauty, maybe I can go on the way to create something in the laws that may put our heads in trouble in my own field from time to time. But we all want to be proud and proud of what we have left behind in this world we are visiting. Today there is actually a picture of pride here. This picture is perhaps an exhibition, but it will evolve into a different place and become a museum. When we think about the museums in many countries of the world, we will see a museum that everyone would like to see once in his life. How to carry such a great wealth of the Near East University to the future and how useful work is done to the country is not a matter of question, but a matter of appreciation. I am sure that many people remember you with the richness you have put forward, with the thought of what Near East University has done for the TRNC, perhaps not only with the Museum of Modern Arts, even more museums will be transformed into the idea of creating all these beauties. Everyone has a life story, I see here that every artist and every thinker really has a life story. I believe that there will be a life story at the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts. Maybe ten years from now, we will see the days that we can enjoy together. Art is more powerful than anything. Continue with the power of art …" The artists were presented with awards and certificates of appreciation, and the ribbons of the exhibition were cut. Following the speeches, the Minister of Economy and Energy Hasan Taçoy presented certificates of appreciation to Abduakhat Muratbayev, Kanat Bukezhanov, Baktygerey Teleubay and İlsuyar Kazakova. The DOGDURBEK NURGAZİEV given to the promising young artists in memory of Kyrgyzstan State Artist Dogdurbek Nurgaziev was given to Kazakh artists Muldir Sagyndykova and Oralbek Kaboke. The exhibitions can be visited at the exhibition hall of the Near East University Hospital between 08.00-16.00 on weekdays until 10 January 2020.

They, the team will conduct toxin isolation, purification and activity studies from the species of fish contain the toxin. The research team plan to conduct studies on tetrodotoxin found in the skin of pufferfish, which is thought to prevent metastasis in cancer cells. Furthermore, the team drew attention to the fact that if the active substances are obtained from pufferfish that damage the ecosystem and be exported as pharmaceutical raw materials this would make a contribution to our country's economy. The research studies are to initiate in 2020 It was pointed out that the study is to be funded by the Near East University and is to commence in 2020.

Kazakhstan is a country that has taken great strides in literature, music, cinema, theater, painting, architecture, museology and in other branches of art. The oldest form of being of the Kazakh people began to turn into folkloric elements in time and has reached to contemporary Kazakh art with various stages. Since the traces of the Kazakh legends of existence, the aesthetic quests extending to contemporary Kazakh art and the reflection of this development on the styles of Kazakh painting art, have constituted an important field of art. From a cosmic painting design to more concrete figurative insights, from there to the insights of changes in every context of abstract painting, Kazakhstan's painting extends from epic motifs to the most contemporary geometric projections. The common ideal of both artists is undoubtedly to support the efforts of the unification of the Turkic world through art in our country and to elevate Turkish Art and therefore world art in our geography. Of course, this supreme aim will be realized through the Cyprus Museum of Modern Art."

Minister Tacoy; "I have seen and felt a lot of things in the painting I have looked at from where I sat. I have seen a different philosophy, a different event, maybe a conspiracy, and I have seen a figure coming out of the figure in this painting. It is a different event and a going towards somewhere. As soon as you enter the door, when you look at the paintings in front of you, you feel different things and you want to keep what you see inside. With these works of art, the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts has surpassed the summit. It is a new area that the Turkish Cypriot people really need. I would like to thank everyone who contributed."

Yıldız Doğan, Kazakh artists Tileuzhan Batanov and Muthit Murzaliyev, Minister Olgun Amcaoğlu. Near East University vice Rector Prof. Dr. Tamer Şanlıdağ began his speech by delivering examples from world art. "The Scream, which depicts the existential agony of the mankind, is a popular artwork created by Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch. The painting "Scream" is the second most famous work of art history after Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. In the painting, in the foreground, in the middle of a bridge, there is someone whose gender can't be distinguished. His/her eyes are opened widely and she/he screams as if it were coming from the depth of her/his soul. However, other than that, every detail in the painting seems normal. In his diary, Munch noted that he had been out for a walk at sunset when suddenly the setting sunlight turned the clouds a blood red. He sensed an infinite scream passing through nature. "I was walking along the road with two friends – the sun was setting – suddenly the sky turned blood red – I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence – there was blood and tongues of fire above the blue-black fjord and the city – my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety – and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature". Prof. Dr. Tamer Sanlidag: "The scream rising from the artists will surely resonate all over the world". Prof: Dr. Şanlıdağ stated that almost 1500 artists had participated in the activities held within the scope of the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts Project. ": "Within the scope of this great project, many art workshops were realized and 222 exhibitions including the present ones were opened within the last year. The number of artworks that created by the talented artists for Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts has exceeded 20,000, which is a significant number relative to such short time" noted he. Expressing that the number of materials accumulated for all the museums that will operate on the campus had reached 100 thousand, Professor Şanlıdağ said: "In the last two weeks of this year, between December 17 and 30, 29 exhibitions, tens of artists and countless works will come together with the art lovers. The screaming rising from the artists through the created atmosphere will surely resonate all across the world. Today, we are realizing the opening of three distinguished solo painting exhibitions revealing the extra ordinary vision of three talented artists consisting of the Turkish artist Yıldız Doyran and Kazakh artists Tileuzhan Batanov and Mukhit Murzaliyev. I would like to take this opportunity and express my gratitude to all of our artists and especially to each individual member of Günsel family for pioneering the realization of world-embracing artistic and cultural projects". Expressing that he had been at the campus for four times within the scope of the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts, Turkish artist E. Yıldız Doyran stated that he had created 34 works for the museum so far added that he desired to complete this number to 50 within the process. Doyran: "Researchers and prospective artists and young people from all around the world will be able to come to this museum and observe the Turkic art very easily". Highlighting the crucial role of the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts in reflecting all aspects of Turkic art and culture, Doyran expressed her views: "Some people have utopian dreams. However, some scientists have very good ideas not only concerning science but also concerning art. Probably, our Suat Hoca (NEU Founding Rector Dr. Suat Günsel) stands forefront of all those; because we witness that many of these scientists in our surroundings are making progress in their own lanes. However, the atmosphere created at Near East University with Suat Günsel's forward looking vision is definitely a dream that many people cannot achieve, not only in the name of science, but also in the name of art. One lives to realize his/her dreams. So does the artist. We are here for our dreams and I will be grateful if we contribute a little to this museum. As my other fellow artists mentioned, this museum will be a museum that brings together all Turkic art and culture as well as the artists of the Turkic world. This is a contribution to the new educational approach that Günsel has created by exerting devoted efforts for years. Researchers and prospective artists and young people from all around the world will be able to come to this museum and observe the Turkic art very comfortably. I would like to thank everyone who contributed to me and who supported me" said he. Murzaliyev: "I am proud of contributing to the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts, which will unite the Turkic world" Beginning his remarks by greeting the protocol and the guests, Kazakh artist Muthit Murzaliyev expressed his views: "I'm personally, and I'm sure all my colleagues have the same feelings. I would like to state that I am very proud of contributing to the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts, which will unite the Turkish world and thus the world art. Besides, this matter constitutes an important point in terms of ensuring cooperation and friendship among Turkic peoples. Each artist has his/her own life experiences, which are not always positive, of course. However, we forget everything in this inspiring and friendship-filled, peaceful atmosphere, and we just create our works and get real pleasure from what we do. I live with art, I have the ability to create, I help with my creativity and this is my real happiness. It is a distinguished pride for me to open my first solo exhibition in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Today I would like to express my gratitude to everyone, because this is our joint effort and our common success" noted he. Batanov: "This is our joint efforts, our common victory" Underlining the significance of working together towards realizing the same goal, Kazakh artist Batanov expressed his views: "Today, we are experiencing the happiness of opening the solo exhibitions in this hall. This is a little contribution to the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts, the museum of Turkic people. We are grateful for your providing us with the opportunity to be on your beautiful and hospitable land, meet and work with other artists. We are witnessing the harmonization of the cultures of Turkic peoples. Dear Founding Rector, I hope that your efforts and sacrifices will return with the prosperity of your business. I wish you a long healthy life, happiness and unfading energy. This is our joint efforts, our common victory" said he. Minister Amcaoğlu: "Adopting it as her task, Near East University has pioneered for steps to be taken" The rising of the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts as the center of Turkic art on these lands, the expanding of its collection reflecting master pieces created by talented Turkic artists really makes me very happy. By appreciating and following developments regarding the issue, we are all together setting a foot on a beautiful route that we can't possibly predict the results. In fact, politics prefers to take steps to deal with the facts. However, art constitutes an important step here, especially with the synergy that it captured within the body of this significant art center. I would like to emphasize that Near East University has pioneered for the steps to be taken on this route by adopting it as her task. I personally and on behalf of the party that I represent thank them" noted he. Awards were presented, exhibition ribbons were cut… Following the speeches, DOGDURBEK NURGAZIEV Award, which is an award that presented to the future promising young artists in honor of the decedent Kyrgyz state artist Dogdurbek Nurgaziev, was presented to Kazakh artist Muhit Murzaliyev, and Silver Key Honor Award was presented to Kazakh artist Tileuzhan Batanov and Turkish artist E. Yıldız Doyran by Finance Minister Olgun Amcaoğlu. The exhibitions will be open to visits at the Exhibition Hall of the Faculty of Communication of Near East University between 08:00-16:00 hours on weekdays until 07 January 2020.
The exhibition titled "Artistic Traces of the Turkish Cypriots' Existence Struggle" held on the occasion of 21-25 December National Struggle and Martyrs Week with the cooperation of Near East University and Gazi University was opened by Minister of Economy and Energy Hasan Taçoy
The exhibition titled "The Artistic Traces of the Turkish Cypriots' Existence Struggle" held in cooperation with the Near East University and Gazi University for the 21-25 December National Struggle and Martyrs Week, was opened at the Irfan Günsel Congress Center by the Minister of Economy and Energy Hasan Taçoy. According to the press information released by the Near East University Press and Public Relations Directorate, Economy and Energy Minister Hassan Taçoy, representatives of the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Nicosia, Near East University Rector Prof. Dr. Ümit Hassan, Rector of Özay Günsel Children's University Prof. Dr. Filiz Meriçli, Rector of Gazi University Prof. Dr. Yaşar Aydemir, Kyrenia District Governor, Chief Advisor to the Prime Minister Ahmet Savaşan, Founding Chairman of Cyprus Turkish National History Museum Prof. Dr. Ali Efdal Özkul, deans, department heads, lecturers, artists, relatives of martyrs, guests and students attended to the opening ceremony. At the exhibition titled "Artistic Traces of the Turkish Cypriots' Existence Struggle", following the reading of the National Anthem and the screening of the documentary film The Cypriot Heroes of Gazi realized. Later, the Near East University Rector Prof. Dr. Ümit Hassan, Gazi University Head of the Department of Painting Education Prof. Dr. Alev Çakmakoğlu Kuru, Acting Rector of Gazi University Prof. Dr. Yaşar Aydemir and Minister of Economy and Energy Hasan Taçoy made a speech each. Prof. Dr. Ümit Hassan; "Our artists have left their marks for tomorrow" Rector of Near East University Prof. Dr. Ümit Hassan said in his opening remarks that by linking the intersection and overlap of the two educational and cultural paths of the unity between Gazi University and Near East University, standing out for its pioneering role in quality and courage in education, have made two important attempts. The first one is that Gazi University eternalized its Turkish Cypriot sons in the struggle of existence. And the second one is that it has carried all the human values, cultural and spiritual dimensions of the Turkish Cypriots to the future, whereas the Near East University has dedicated all its facilities to Fine Arts and brought new dimensions in the art world. He also underlined that it is the establishment of the Cyprus Museum of Modern Arts, designed and developed by Suat Günsel himself. Prof. Dr. Hassan; "With the sensitivity of Gazi University, Prof. Dr. İbrahim Uslan, Prof. Dr. Alev Çakmakoğlu Kuru, who is the first authority in the design and realization of this exhibition under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Yaşar Aydemir, the very esteemed Vice-Rector who is with us now, Prof. Dr. Ali Efdal Özkul, who is responsible for every meaning and scope of this project, left a mark for tomorrow by providing the environment to our artists who actually are the main owners of the day." Prof. Dr. Hassan also said; "When we talk about martyrs, it is not possible not to bring Mehmet Akif to the agenda in terms of cultural belief, faith, and of course, refer to him through our literary intellection. Akif had an impact on the history of the country and Turkish history with his outstanding willpower based on a solid poetic faith as reflected in the poem of Çanakkale Martyrs." Prof. Dr. Alev Çakmakoğlu Kuru; "The historical events of the Turkish Cypriots have been expressed in the language of art" Gazi University, Head of the Department of Art Teaching Prof. Dr. Alev Çakmakoğlu Kuru in her speech said; "Turkish leaders Rauf Denktaş, Dr. Fazil Küçük, Dr. Burhan Nalbantoglu the founder of TMT, Colonel Riza Vuruşkan, Vehbi Mahmutoğlu who first delivered the arms to Erenköy from Turkey, Asaf Elmas, Cevdet Remzi, Major Nihat Ilhan's brutally slaughtered wife and three little innocent babies… All these heroes of the Turkish Cypriots' struggle for existence, martyrs….Do you feel that we are in their spiritual presence? Yes, they are here … " Prof. Dr. Kuru mentioned that there were many Turkish Cypriots among the graduates of Gazi University, which started education in 1926, and the Turkish Cypriot martyrs who gave their lives for the unity and existence of the Turkish nation were among the graduates. Prof. Dr. Kuru; "The respect, love, and devotion we have for our martyrs brought us together in a joint project with the Near East University, which is in an attempt to establish the Turkish Cypriot National History Museum. We have realized this project with the cooperation of Gazi University and the Near East University. The Turkish Cypriots who paid the price of reunification with their martyrs, veterans, casualties and heroes expressed their historical events with the language of art." Prof. Dr. Yaşar Aydemir; "Today, as a nation, we are standing upright as a result of the efforts made for the sake of homeland on the way to freedom." Gazi University Acting Rector Prof. Dr. Yaşar Aydemir said, "Having a homeland requires a price. If we are meeting today in this beautiful hall of the Near East University in Cyprus, we owe it to the people who martyred for a crescent. In the case of Cyprus, we have seen how a nation that puts the same ideal in the face of all difficulties has succeeded by confronting all kinds of difficulties in our recent history, for example, on July 15, in Afrin and today in Tel-Abyad within the scope of the Peace Spring operation. Today, as a nation standing upright, this freedom is the result of efforts made for the sake of homeland sacrifices. As the grandchildren of a great heritage, we have to analyze what we experienced yesterday, the situations we are in today, and learn from history. A moment of blunder we had, and the cost of losing has been quite expensive for us." Prof. Dr. Aydemir; "Either the state has an authority, or the raven gets on the corps… We have to keep our unity, our dignity, and keep our differences in order to increase our common points. As the deceased Âkif said: "Without first putting a conspiracy into the nation, no enemy can enter; The more the hearts beat together, no cannons can overcome them." "The Turkish Cypriot who survived many challenges and faced many difficulties in the struggle for existence is a source of pride with his acumen" Prof. Dr. Aydemir in his speech referred to a saying of German philosopher George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel; "When we tie a knot on a rope, that tie is the most solid part of the rope, but every time you touch the rope, it is the part that hurts us most. In our history, we have strengthened our ties, but we also had knots that hurt us. The Turkish Cypriots' struggle of existence is one of these knots. Therefore, each time we remember this, one side of us is thankful and proud, and one side of us is proud and grateful for our brothers and their legacy they left for us. Some of the Turkish Cypriots have been killed in Cyprus for the sake of homeland in this national struggle." Prof. Dr. Yaşar Aydemir; "Turkish Cypriot is a source of pride for he has survived many challenges and faced many difficulties in the struggle of existence. The Turkish Cypriot people continue to struggle for peace, security, and prosperity in order to exist and live as honorable people in the world. In order to explain this struggle and make it public, our artists transformed their emotions into works of art in the light of information and documents about the events and heroes constituting the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. These works are the monuments of those who marched to the way of God in this honorable struggle. We are very pleased to explain the historical events experienced by the Turkish Cypriots who paid the price of independence through their martyrs and veterans in establishing the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. I believe that this project will play a big role in raising the awareness of future generations and not forgetting the dark events, I congratulate those who contributed, and I salute you all." Minister Tacoy; "They sacrificed their lives without thinking anything so we could live these days today" Minister of Economy and Energy Hasan Taçoy, referring to the documentary film, said, "A very beautiful thing that can leave a mark in history and that enable us to move forward this very emotional day, and can leave a very literally trail to the future, a documentary to be taken to the future" he said. Minister Tacoy; "We have many young people who have lost their lives by freezing from the cold in Sarıkamış years ago, and then the War of Independence … Thousands of people lost their lives and we are still struggling for years on this tiny island for independence. We are a nation that sacrificed many people from our families in order to have a homeland. We have always faced a feeling, a phenomenon, a struggle for life to be carried forward with these feelings and thoughts which have always been felt. The martyrs may not know what these days will be like when they were the path of God, but they sacrificed their lives without thinking anything for us to live these days with confidence. We are now living with the feelings that a Mujahideen gave to us, a Turkish soldier Mehmet gave to us. In this environment we are in today, we are thankful for the blessing that we have already found, and sometimes this is regarded as a crime to talk about this emotion for some people, but for others, it is to express fatigue, to look cute and to express feelings of gratitude. We acted without knowing that this region would come to this day, but we established a second Turkish state and its name became the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Everybody, from the veteran, the little baby to the oldest person, worked hard to keep this feeling alive, and as the owner of this phenomenon, they gave us this responsibility to plan our future. This beauty established by Near East University, which tries to contribute to this responsibility, has a great meaning in myself and in my country. It will have a tremendous impact on those who will see, live and listen to those who will follow these documentaries you have left." Certificates of Appreciation presented, the exhibition ribbon cut… After the speeches, Rector of Near East University Prof. Dr. Ümit Hassan and Vice-Rector of Gazi University Prof. Dr. Yaşar Aydemir mutually presented remembrances. Subsequently, the Minister of Economy and Energy Hasan Taçoy presented the certificates of appreciation to the artists who contributed to the group exhibition. Then the exhibition ribbon was cut. The exhibition will be open until January 10, 2020, in the exhibition hall of İrfan Günsel Congress Center.

Q: How to cut and delete elements in an array with Logstash I have Json logs in an array as follows:
e":[{"n":"3/0/1","st":"CONTENT","v":"Sensortag"},
    {"n":"3/0/3","st":"CONTENT","v":"Contiki-develop-20150508-409-g2147b9e"},
    {"n":"3/0/13","st":"CONTENT","v":"1970-01-09T21:02:18Z"},
    {"n":"3301/0/5700","st":"CONTENT","v":"376.64"},
    {"n":"3303/0/5700","st":"CONTENT","v":"22.843"},
    {"n":"3304/0/5700","st":"CONTENT","v":"63.53"},
    {"n":"3315/0/5700","st":"CONTENT","v":"1000.34"}]

I would like to delete the first 3 elements from the array and keep the 4 last ones using a filter.
I have this as my filter:
filter {

   if ([type] == "testbed"){

           if [MessageParserJson][e[{}] in [MessageParserJson]{
                   mutate {
                           remove_field => ["[MessageparserJson][e[{0}]]" , "[MessageparserJson][e[{1}]]" , "[MessageParserJson][e[{2}]]"]
                           add_field => { "[MessageParserJson][e[{3}]]" => "MessageParser" }
                           add_field => { "[MessageParserJson][e[{4}]]" => "MessageParser" }

                           add_field => { "[MessageParserJson][e[{5}]]" => "MessageParser" }
                           add_field => { "[MessageParserJson][e[{6}]]" => "MessageParser" }
                            }
                           }

                   drop {
                           remove_field => ["MessageParserJson"]
                           }

 }
}

But Logstash puts itself in error

A: you could use the Ruby filter for that, to e.g. remove the first three elements this should work:
filter {
    ruby {
        code => "event['MessageParserJson'].slice!(0,3)"
    }
}

Cheers

Europe's cross-border gas networks operate according to rules that regulate who can use them and under what conditions. As gas systems become more interlinked through greater interconnection, harmonised cross-border EU-wide rules are required to effectively manage gas flows. These rules are known as network codes. They govern all cross-border gas market transactions.
A network code is a set of rights and obligations that apply to parties operating in the European energy markets. Once adopted, the codes apply directly across Europe in the same way as an EU Regulation.
Allow more renewable generation to be safely integrated into the energy mix.
The Third Energy Package is an EU legislative package designed to create an internal gas and electricity market in the European Union. The Third Package requires the development of European - wide Network Codes. Regulation (EC) 73/2009 and 715/2009 create the legal basis for the gas network codes.
The European Commission is developing new rules for cross-border cooperation between gas network operators. These rules are referred to as network codes. The rules will cover how network operators manage gas flows across borders, deal with difference in gas quality and exchange data between themselves and market players.
The network code on interoperability aligns the complex technical procedures used by network operators within the EU and other countries neighbouring the EU.
The network code on 'Gas Balancing of Transmission Networks' provides gas balancing rules including the responsibilities of transmission system operators and users.
The network code on 'Capacity Allocation Mechanisms in Gas Transmission Systems' requires gas grid operators to use harmonised auctions when selling access to pipelines. These auctions sell the same product at the same time and according to the same rules across the EU.
The European Commission's rules on congestion management procedures aim to reduce congestion in gas pipelines. They require companies to make use of their reserved capacity or risk losing it. Unused capacity is placed back on the market.
the calculation of reserve prices for standard capacity products.


When I was writing PLSQL unit tests with Ruby, I came across a need to stage test data into tables. I didn't really want to involve an ORM like Active Record, but working with RAW insert statements quickly became a chore.
One reason is that some of my tables had a lot of columns - many of the columns were not nullable, but for a given test it didn't really matter what values were in most of the columns. For instance if a test needed to prove records with a status of 'pending' were picked up by a stored procedure, I just needed to ensure I had a few records with a status of 'pending', and all the other columns could be set to anything.
After wasting too much time with long insert statements and missing not null fields, I created the Data Factory gem to remove the need to write insert statements at all.
DataFactory is a simple Ruby gem that generates data random test data and inserts it into database tables.
DataFactory reads the table definition from the database, and generates random values for all not null columns. It inserts this data into the table, while providing the option of specifying non-random defaults to meet integrity constraints etc.
DataFactory is a simple gem, so a few examples explore a lot of the functionality. Note that these examples use Simple Oracle JDBC as the database access layer.
For a more complete manual, have a look at the documentation on Rubygems.
In the class definition, use the settablename method to map the class to a particular table on the database.
Optionally, you can specify default values for columns in the table with the setcolumndefault method, which takes the table name followed by a value for the column, or a block that generates the value each time it is called, as with the email example.
The create! call will take the column defaults defined in the Employee class, and merge in any column values passed into the create! method. Then it will generate a value for any other non-nullable columns in the table, and insert the row into the database.
An Employee instance is returned, containing all the generated values.
There is also a create method that works just like create! but does not issue a commit.
Finally there is a build method that creates an instance of the class with default and generated values, but does not insert it into the database at all.
Notice how columns that are nullable, have not got a default value and were not passed a value are generated with null values.

Seeing life through their eyes
Through the voices and stories of seven men, a feature-length documentary co-produced and directed by Annenberg Dean John L. Jackson Jr. and graduate student Nora Gross illustrates what it means to be black and gay in the south.
E. Patrick Johnson (above) stars in "Making Sweet Tea," a 90-minute film about life as an African American gay man in the southern United States. The film, which was co-produced and co-directed by Annenberg Dean John L. Jackson Jr. and Penn doctoral student Nora Gross, is based on a book Johnson wrote, which then became a play.
E. Patrick Johnson has been talking about life as a gay, black man in the southern United States for more than a decade. At first, the voices came from Harold and Freddie and many others who shared their stories with Johnson for his 2008 academic book "Sweet Tea." Then John L. Jackson Jr. saw an early version of the one-man play that followed; he immediately thought that Johnson should incorporate his own story, too.
"I'm an ethnographer who always tries to write from a perspective that doesn't pretend away the researcher," says Jackson, dean of Penn's Annenberg School for Communication. "I was struck that E. Patrick was doing a classic ethnographic portrait of a particular portion of the American community, but I also felt there was a story to be told about him, about what he's doing, and how we define what knowledge looks like in the academy. That seemed really interesting and powerful to me."
He said as much to Johnson. "I told him, 'We should try to create the film adaptation of the process and your relationship to the men, of the experiences and interactions that help define black, gay life in the South,'" Jackson says. "We filed it away for a couple years, but it kept coming up."
Johnson asks each person to make his individual version of sweet tea, then they taste the classic drink together. "These men have given me a different perspective on my own life," Johnson says at the end of the film, "about how to live, about how to love, about how to just be in the world, loving yourself, especially for who you are."
Recently, the culmination of those early conversations and many more premiered as a 90-minute, full-length feature documentary, "Making Sweet Tea." The film, co-produced by Jackson and Penn doctoral student Nora Gross, describes life through the eyes of seven African American gay men, including Johnson, who have spent their lives in the South. It's the first such feature-length project completed in association with Penn's Collective for Advancing Multimodal Research Arts (CAMRA) and included a score from Penn Music professor Guthrie Ramsey and singer-songwriter Vince Anthony. It also involved at least three undergrads and seven graduate students from Annenberg, the Graduate School of Education, and the School of Arts and Sciences.
Gross has been part of the project for nearly six years. "Sometime in May or June, right after my first year as a Ph.D. student, John sent an email to the CAMRA listserv saying the film was getting underway," she says. "I jumped at the chance to get involved."
Since then, she, Jackson, and Johnson have been shaping what a documentary based on several iterations of a play based on a book would actually look like. Was it about these characters' experiences? About capturing and documenting the theatrical production process? Or does it distill the ethnographic research path of an academic like Johnson, who is a Northwestern University professor?
Even in its final product, the film does a little bit of each, Gross says. "In certain phases of production, it's been about more one than another," she says. "The challenge is how can you ensure it doesn't feel too academic or go too far in the direction of any one character that you lose the strand about the research and artistic process?"
The film succeeds by following Johnson, as narrator, interacting with each person (and with his mother). There's Harold, who had been with his partner, a white man also named Harold, for nearly 50 years before he passed away in 2017, and Duncan, a Unitarian minister in Atlanta who has spent much of his life as an AIDS/HIV activist. "Making Sweet Tea" closes with Charles, a hairdresser from Hickory, North Carolina—where Johnson also grew up—and who had previously performed in drag as a woman named Chastity.
When Charles saw Johnson perform his story for the first time, he started crying. Gross vividly recalls shooting that particular scene.
The "Making Sweet Tea" team (from left to right): Annenberg Dean John L. Jackson Jr., executive producer and director; E. Patrick Johnson, executive producer; Stephen J. Lewis, editor, producer, and cinematographer; and Nora Gross, director, producer, and cinematographer.
"Patrick performed the monologue—Charles' own words from their original interview a decade earlier—in the same cabaret space where Charles used to perform in drag himself. I don't think we anticipated that Charles was going to have such a strong reaction," she says. "But during that 10-year period, so much happened in his life and he'd gone through so many transformations, including finally feeling comfortable in his own skin. That moment is a reminder of how versatile we each are, how much we evolve, and that each of us is not just one thing. That's a moment when people are often moved to tears, and I always am, every time I watch it."
For Jackson, the film represents another step toward infusing into the Annenberg curriculum a strong link between production and theory, between teaching students to think deeply about media made by someone else and having students produce those media themselves. For "Making Sweet Tea," Penn students helped transcribe and log 70 hours of raw footage, assisted in winnowing down the best of that footage, and helped with initial edits.
"We're trying to get students working as scholars, as intellectuals in nonconventional ways," says Jackson. "The students often feel like so much of what they get is theoretical and analytical, but they often pine for more skills, more tangible calling cards. Part of our goal is to short-circuit any too-easy distinctions between thinking and doing to create academics who produce the kinds of multimodal research that can redefine what scholarship looks like in the 21st century."
To that end, Jackson is spearheading another feature-length documentary, about the origin of HBO in the 1970s, that incorporates Annenberg and other Penn students in a similar fashion. He's aiming to have a rough cut complete by December. As for "Making Sweet Tea," after its premiere in Chicago on Sept. 23—where it won the festival's second annual Silver Image award—and a showing in Atlanta, the production team hopes it will get accepted into several film festivals during the next year.
Ultimately, they want as many eyes as possible on the picture. "Some of these are stories that we won't get to hear again," Gross says, referring to the fact that several people passed away during the decade of the film's production. "The stories humanize this group of people that we don't get to hear from very often. The film offers counterexamples to traditional stereotypes, and a fuller palate of experiences, not only the challenges and struggles but also really beautiful love stories and personal triumphs."
John L. Jackson Jr. is the Walter H. Annenberg Dean of the Annenberg School for Communication and the Richard Perry University Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. He is a Penn Integrates Knowledge Professor and was previously dean of the School of Social Policy & Practice and special advisor to the provost on diversity at Penn.
Nora Gross is a sixth-year doctoral student in the Sociology Department in the School of Arts and Sciences and part of the Education, Culture, and Society program in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania.

Growing India
Elon Musk hopes to bring Tesla to India 'this year'
by Rishi Iyengar @Iyengarish February 8, 2017: 9:19 AM ET
Inside Tesla's enormous battery factory
If Elon Musk has his way, Tesla will soon be selling cars in a huge new market.
Responding to a question from a Twitter user about when the electric carmaker would finally enter India, Musk replied that he was "hoping for summer this year."
The billionaire entrepreneur didn't go into detail, and Tesla (TSLA) did not respond to requests for comment.
India's rapidly growing economy of more than 1.3 billion people presents huge potential for the Silicon Valley firm.
@goel_ishan Hoping for summer this year
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 7, 2017
It would also face several challenges.
Tesla does not make cars in the South Asian country, which means it is likely to have to pay hefty import duties. And getting a manufacturing operation up and running is a long and arduous process, as Apple has learned.

There are other potential hurdles to overcome. India's crowded roads and unreliable electricity grid are not well suited to Tesla's sleek battery-driven cars.
"If it works there, it will work everywhere," was the response of one Twitter user.
But Musk has made his ambitions clear, including India in the list of countries where Tesla's new Model 3 is available for pre-order.

In another tweet in March last year, Musk said the eventual rollout would also include an India-wide network of superchargers -- the roadside stations across the U.S. that replenish Tesla batteries in "minutes instead of hours."
If Tesla does make it to India, its high-end electric cars could help make a big dent in the country's notorious air pollution.

Since the inception of the jury system in the United States, attorneys have insisted that they be given the freedom to make "shoot-from-the hip," "seat-of-the-pants," and "gut-level" judgments about a particular juror's capacity to sit as a fair trier of fact. Unfortunately, this broad discretion has led to widespread abuses. Until relatively recently, courts have allowed potential jurors to be excluded on the basis of their race, religion, political affiliation, national origin, and gender. With the exception of gender-based preemptions, all these abuses have been judicially corrected without compromising the defendant's right to a fair trial. If the state's right to exercise gender-based peremptory challenges was ever justified (and I doubt that it ever was), that time is surely past. The use of this type of challenge has been so grossly abused and has strayed so far from notions of common justice and equality that is time to constrain it. "Seat-of-the-pants" and similar justifications for gender-based strikes are no more than euphemisms for jury manipulation and gender discrimination. Courts should no longer tolerate the use of peremptory challenges to perpetuate chauvinist myths about the "basic nature of men and women." It is time to return the peremptory challenge to its intended role as a tool for ferreting out specific juror bias and eliminate its perpetuation of wholesale gender bias.
