Q: C++ unordered_map with char* as key I feel exhausted when trying to use the container unordered_map with char* as the key (on Windows, I am using VS 2010). I know that I have to define my own compare function for char*, which inherits from binary_function. The following is a sample program.
#include<unordered_map>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

template <class _Tp>
struct my_equal_to : public binary_function<_Tp, _Tp, bool>
{
    bool operator()(const _Tp& __x, const _Tp& __y) const
    { return strcmp( __x, __y ) == 0; }
};

typedef unordered_map<char*, unsigned int, ::std::tr1::hash<char*>,  my_equal_to<char*> > my_unordered_map;
//typedef unordered_map<string, unsigned int > my_unordered_map;

my_unordered_map location_map;

int main(){
    char a[10] = "ab";
    location_map.insert(my_unordered_map::value_type(a, 10));
    char b[10] = "abc";
    location_map.insert(my_unordered_map::value_type(b, 20));

    char c[10] = "abc";
    location_map.insert(my_unordered_map::value_type(c, 20));

    printf("map size: %d\n", location_map.size());
    my_unordered_map::iterator it;
    if ((it = location_map.find("abc")) != location_map.end())
    {
        printf("found!\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

I insert the same C string abc twice and look it up. The second insertion should fail and there will be only one abc in the unordered_map. However, the output size is 3. It seems that the compare function does not work properly here.
Moreover, I get another strange result about the find function, by running the program for many times, the finding result even changes! Sometimes the string abc is found, while the other times abc is not found!
Could anyone help me on this? Your help is very much appreciated!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Edit: After defining a hash function for char* by my own, the program works properly. The full program code is listed below. Thank you all.
#include<unordered_map>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

template <class _Tp>
struct my_equal_to : public binary_function<_Tp, _Tp, bool>
{
    bool operator()(const _Tp& __x, const _Tp& __y) const
    { return strcmp( __x, __y ) == 0; }
};

struct Hash_Func{
    //BKDR hash algorithm
    int operator()(char * str)const
    {
        int seed = 131;//31  131 1313 13131131313 etc//
        int hash = 0;
        while(*str)
        {
            hash = (hash * seed) + (*str);
            str ++;
        }

        return hash & (0x7FFFFFFF);
    }
};

typedef unordered_map<char*, unsigned int, Hash_Func,  my_equal_to<char*> > my_unordered_map;

int main(){
    my_unordered_map location_map;

    char a[10] = "ab";
    location_map.insert(my_unordered_map::value_type(a, 10));
    char b[10] = "abc";
    location_map.insert(my_unordered_map::value_type(b, 20));

    char c[10] = "abc";
    location_map.insert(my_unordered_map::value_type(c, 20));

    printf("map size: %d\n", location_map.size());
    my_unordered_map::iterator it;
    if ((it = location_map.find("abc")) != location_map.end())
    {
        printf("found!\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

Note: Using char* as the key type for an unordered_map or other STL containers may be dangerous, a safe way (seems to be the only way) is: in the main function, new or malloc a block (e.g. an array of c strings) on heap and fill it with c strings. Insert these c strings into unordered_map. The allocated block of memory is freed at the end of of main function (by delete or free).

A: You comparator is fine (although passing a nullptr is undefined and probably should be handled)
The hash, ::std::tr1::hash<char*> is hashing off pointers so each "abc" goes (usually) in a different bucket
You need to write your own hash function that guarantees that hash("abc") always gives the same answer
For now - performance will be terrible, but have a hash that returns 0 - and you should see the second "abc" match the first
As per comments - using std::string simplifies memory management and provides a library supported hash and comparator, so just std::unordered_map<std::string, X> will work.  This also means that upon deletion of the unordered map all strings will be deallocated for you.  You can even instantiate the std::strings from char arrays on the stack safely.
If you still want to use char * then you will still need your own comparator and hash, but you can use std::shared_ptr to manage the memory for you (do not use stack instances - do a new char[])
you will then have a std::unordered_map<shared_ptr<char *>, X> but have no complications later from memory leaks.
If you still want to use char * you are on the right track, but it is important that you use a memory leak tool like purify or valgrind to make sure that you truly have all the memory management under control.  (This is generally a good idea for any project)
Finally, global variables should be avoided.

A: Using a char pointer as a key like you are above is almost certainly not what you want to do.
STL containers deal with stored values, in the case of std::unordered_map<char *, unsigned int, ...>, you are dealing with pointers to c strings, which may not even be around on subsequent insertion/removal checks.
Note that your my_unordered_map is a global variable but you are trying to insert local char arrays a, b, and c. What do you expect your comparison function my_equal_to() to strcmp() when the inserted c strings fall out of scope? (You suddenly have keys pointing to random garbage that can be compared to newly inserted future values.)
It is important that STL map keys be copyable values that cannot have their meanings changed by external program behavior. You should almost certainly use std::string or similar for your key values, even if their construction seems wasteful to you at first glance.
The following will work exactly as you intend things to work above, and is vastly safer:
#include <unordered_map>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

// STL containers use copy semantics, so don't use pointers for keys!!
typedef unordered_map<std::string, unsigned int> my_unordered_map;

my_unordered_map location_map;

int main() {
    char a[10] = "ab";
    location_map.insert(my_unordered_map::value_type(a, 10));

    char b[10] = "abc";
    location_map.insert(my_unordered_map::value_type(b, 20));

    char c[10] = "abc";
    location_map.insert(my_unordered_map::value_type(c, 20));

    cout << "map size: " << location_map.size() << endl;

    my_unordered_map::iterator it;
    if ((it = location_map.find("abc")) != location_map.end()) {
        cout << "found \"" << it->first << "\": " << it->second << endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

A: (Answer for modern C++, for people still stumbling upon this question)
These days, if you use C++17 or above, you can use std::string_view as a key in an unordered_map.
std::string_view only keeps a reference to the raw char* data instead of copying it, allowing you to avoid a copy when you're sure the raw char* data outlives the unordered_map.
However, unlike char*, std::string_view implements various methods and operators, like std::hash, making it useful in many more places.
std::unordered_map<std::string_view, unsigned int> my_map;
my_map["some literal"] = 123;
printf("%d\n", my_map["some literal"]);

In the above code, I only put string literals in the map, which is safe. Be careful when putting other things in a map with string_view keys - it's your responsibility to ensure they don't get destroyed before the map!

A: When you define something such as "abc" it get assigned a const char*. Every time that you write "abc" within your program there is going to be a new memory alocated. So:
const char* x = "abc";
const char* y = "abc";
return x==y;

Will always return false because new memory is alocated each time "abc" is wrriten (sorry if I sound a bit repetitive).

Q: Hibernate dialect for Oracle Database 18c? Is there a Hibernate dialect for Oracle Database 18c? Or should I use the org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle12cDialect that ships with Hibernate?
When using Hibernate 5.3 and Oracle 18c RAC is there anything special the application has to take care of?

A: At the time of writing this comment with the latest version of Hibernate (5.4.10), there is no official dialect for Oracle18 in Hibernate.
When there are no major differences in the Database dialect, a special dialect is not usually created for him in Hibernate.
For example, I used the Oracle10 dialect with Oracle11 without major problems in production environments.
The same for Oracle 18, the Oracle12 dialect should work without major problems.
Keep in mind that Oracle release numbers are no longer numbered as in the past, and today they are related to the release year (so the larger number does not mean exactly that there are major changes in your dialect).
About Oracle Database release numbers: release number
As a comment, if you don't use the new features of Oracle 18, there is also the possibility of configuring Oracle to be compatible with a certain previous version (11 or 12 in this case). However, it is recommend not to use this config if it's possible solved with a custom Dialect or modifying your software.
About Oracle Database Compatible parameter: compatible parameter
I hope this helps others who are looking for the same.

Q: Differential Equations with Matrices I'm trying to implement the differential equation of a Cellular Neural Network in Mathematica as seen below:
A = {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}};
B = {{9, 8, 7}, {6, 5, 4}, {3, 2, 1}};
u = {{10, 11, 12, 1}, {20, 21, 22, 1}, {66, 77, 88, 1}};
Ioff = 1;

NDSolve[{x'[t] == -x[t] + ListConvolve[A, x[t], 1] + ListConvolve[B, u, 1] + Ioff,
x[0] == u}, x, {t, 0, 2}]

But NDSolve returns two errors:

ListConvolve::kldims: "The kernel {{1,2,3},{4,5,6},{7,8,9}} and list x[t] are not both non-empty lists with the same tensor rank."
NDSolve::ndfdmc: Computed derivatives do not have dimensionality consistent with the initial conditions.

I would really appreciate any help since I'm a beginner in Mathematica and I don't know what I'm doing wrong

A: You need to define a little helper function. First, however, note that this computes:
NDSolveValue[{x'[t] == -x[t] + ListConvolve[B, u, 1] + Ioff,
  x[0] == u}, x, {t, 0, 2}]

So, the issue is with the ListConvolve that related to the unknown x[t]. You can feed x[t] back into a function:
 fun[xValAtT_] /; MatrixQ[xValAtT, NumericQ] :=
 ListConvolve[A, xValAtT, 1]

and then call NDSolve with that function:
if = NDSolveValue[{x'[t] == -x[t] + fun[x[t]] +
     ListConvolve[B, u, 1] + Ioff, x[0] == u}, x, {t, 0, 2}];
if[0.2]
(*
{{193.082, 206.046, 294.78, 182.994}, {151.239, 169.641, 227.922,
  127.526}, {321.59, 337.303, 480.992, 271.091}}
*)

Note, however, that this system seems to explode for larger values of t; perhaps you need to re-check your model, I am not sure.

A: Yes, you can embed formulae in VBA by using the Range.Formula property explained here.
For example:
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).Formula = "=SUM(A2:A101)"

The string can be any formula, and can consist of various parts to include VBA variables.
For example:
Sub writeFormula()
    Dim i As Long

    With ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
        For i = 1 To 100
            .Cells(i, 1).Formula = "=SUM(" & .Range(.Cells(i, 2), .Cells(i, 20)).Address & ")"
        Next
    End With

End Sub

This writes the formula =SUM($B$1:$T$1) in cell A1 and =SUM($B$2:$T$2) in A2 and so on all the way down to =SUM($B$100:$T$100) in cell A100.

Home / Articles / Praying the price of Revival - 2
Praying The Price of Revival (Part Two)
by Stuart Robinson
Revd Dr Stuart Robinson is the Senior Pastor at the Blackburn Baptist Church, Victoria, Australia.
Luke 11: 1 - "Lord teach us to pray."
Go to the first half of this article
The social impact of reformed lives was incredible. William Wilberforce, William Pitt, Edmund Bourke, and Charles Fox, all touched by this movement, worked ceaselessly for the abolition of the slave trade in 1807. William Buxton worked on for the emancipation of all slaves in the British Empire and saw it happen in 1834. John Howard and Elizabeth Fry gave their lives to radically reform the prison system. Florence Nightingale founded modern nursing. Ashley Cooper, the seventh Earl of Shaftesbury, came to the rescue of the working poor to end their sixteen-hour, seven-day-a-week work grind. He worked to stop exploitation of women and children in coal mines, the suffocation of boys as sweeps in chimneys. He established public parks and gymnasia, gardens, public libraries, night schools and choral societies.
The Christian Socialist Movement, which became the British Trade Union movement, was birthed. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was formed to protect animals. There was amazing growth in churches, and an astounding change in society came about because a man prayed and worked, seeing the establishment of thousands of similar prayer meetings, all united in calling on God for revival. Missionary societies were established.
William Carey was one who got swept up in that movement. We speak of him as the "father of modern missions". The environment of his situation was that he was a member of a ministers revival prayer group which had been meeting for two years in Northampton in 1784 - 1786 he shared his vision of God's desire to see the heathen won for the Lord. He went on to establish what later became known as the Baptist Missionary Society. In 1795 the London Missionary Society was formed. In 1796 the Scottish Missionary Society was established, and later still the Church Missionary Society of the Anglicans was commenced.
The prayer movement had a tremendous impact, but waned until the middle of the 19th century. Then God started something up in Canada, and the necessity to pray was picked up in New York. A quiet man called Jeremiah Lanphier had been appointed by the Dutch Reformed Church as a missionary to the central business district. Because the church was in decline and the life of the city was somewhat similar, he did not know what to do. He was a layman. He called a prayer meeting in the city to be held at noon each Wednesday . Its first meeting was on the 23rd September 1857. Eventually five other men turned up. Two weeks later, they decided to move to a daily schedule of prayer. Within six months, 10,000 men were gathering to pray and that movement spread across America. Surprise, surprise! Within two years there were one million new believers added to the church.
The movement swept out to touch England, Scotland, Wales and Ulster. Ireland was as tough a nut to crack as any. But when news reached Ireland of what was happening in America, James McQuilkan gathered three young men to meet for prayer in the Kells schoolhouse on March 14, 1859. They prayed and prayed for revival within a couple of months a similar prayer meeting was launched in Belfast. By September 21, 20,000 people assembled to pray for the whole of Ireland. It was later estimated that 100,000 converts resulted directly from these prayer movements in Ireland. It has also been estimated that in the years 1859-60 1,150,000 people were added to the church, wherever concerts of prayer were in operation.
Many would be aware of the Welsh Revival this century. lt commenced in October 1904. It was spontaneous and was characterized by simultaneous, lengthy prayer meetings. 1n the first two months, 70,000 people came to the Lord. In 1905 in London alone, the Wesleyan Methodists increased from their base membership of 54,785 by an additional 50,021 people. Coming closer in time and nearer to Australia, in the Enga churches in Papua New Guinea there was a desperate spiritual state 20 years ago. To redress the situation, people there committed themselves to pray. Prayer meetings began amongst pastors, missionaries and Bible College students. It spread out to the villages. In some villages, groups of people agreed to pray together every day until God sent new life to the church.
On 15 September 1973, without any prior indication, simultaneously spontaneously, in village after village as pastors stood to deliver their normal Sunday morning messages, the Holy Spirit descended bringing conviction, confession, repentance and revival. Normal work stopped as people in their thousands hurried to special meetings. Prayer groups met daily, morning and evening. Thousands of Christians were restored and thousands of pagans were converted. Whole villages became Christian, and the church grew not only in size but in maturity. In the Philippines in the 1980s, as a result of some people attending an international prayer conference in Korea, 200 missionaries of the Philippine Missionary Fellowship each organized prayer group meetings daily at 7.00 p.m. to pray for the growth of the church. They report that within a couple of years this directly resulted in the formation of 310 new churches.
Spectacular growth is occurring in Argentina. Jose Luis Vasquez saw his church explode from 600 to 4,500 with a constituency of 10,000 members in five years following a visit from Carlos Annacondia. Hector Gimenez started his church from zero in 1983. His congregation now numbers 70,000. Omar Cabrera started his church in 1972 with 15 members. There is now a combined membership of 90,000 members. Peter Wagner, who is intensely investigating what lies behind such effective ministry, has arrived at the conclusion that powerful intercessory prayer is the chief weapon. Much of it is happening in a Pentecostal, charismatic environment but the structure or doctrine is not the essential thing. Walter Hollenwager, a prolific researcher into Pentecostalism said that for them, from the earliest Pentecostals onwards, it was more important to pray than to organize (1972:29). Wherever that principle is invoked, amazing things happen. East Germany started to form small groups of ten to twelve persons committed to meet to pray for peace.
By October 1989, 50,000 people were involved in Monday night prayer meetings. In 1990, when those praying people moved quietly onto the streets, their numbers quickly swelled to 300,000 and "the wall came tumbling down." In Cuba in 1990, an Assemblies of God pastor whose congregation never exceeded 100 people meeting once a week suddenly found himself conducting 12 services per day for 7,000 people. They started queuing at 2.00 a.m. and even broke down the doors to get into the prayer meetings. Asked to explain these phenomena, Cuban Christians say "it has come because we have paid the price. We have suffered for the Gospel and we have prayed for many, many years" (0'Connor 1990:7-9). When a group known as the Overseas Missionary Society saw that after 25 years work in India all they could report was 2000 believers in 25 churches, they adopted a new strategy. In their homelands they recruited 1,000 people committed to pray for the work in India for just 15 minutes per day. Within a few years the church exploded to 73,000 members in 550 churches.
Will we "pray the price"?
Today there is great pressure from many directions in our society to work harder, to become smarter, to produce results, or to be moved aside. The church in many Western countries is in danger of absorbing this mentality into its own attitudes and practices, forgetting that in the divine-human endeavor, success comes not by might nor by power but by a gracious release of God's Holy Spirit (Zechariah 4:6). Years ago, R. A. Torrey (1974:190) said, "We live in a day characterized by the multiplication of man's machinery and the diminution of God's power. The great cry of our day is work, work, work! Organize, organize, organize! Give us some new society! Tell us some new methods! Devise some new machinery! But the great need of our day is prayer, more prayer and better prayer." Friends, in the church in the west we now have the most up to date, state of the art technology available to communicate the Gospel.
Yet comparatively little seems to be happening in so many countries. In terms of the growth and mission of our churches, could it be that whilst the world has learned to communicate with robots on Mars, in sections of the church we have forgotten to communicate with the Lord of the earth? If that is so, then our best course of action is to stand again with the first disciples and, like them, return to the Head of the church - Jesus Christ - and say "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11 : 1).

Google celebrates the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women with a white ribbon
Written by Nadia Bramante
(follow on Twitter)
Back in 1999 the United Nations declared the 25th November to be the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and today's Google homepage features a white ribbon to highlight this growing problem affecting females of any age, from all walks of life, in every country.
According to recent statistics, in the world up to 70% of women experience violence during their lifetime, ranging from domestic abuse and sexual violence to honour killings and trafficking. Discrimination against the 'weaker sex' is not confined to underdeveloped countries, as many would like to think, and violence against women and girls is an issue very much present at various degrees in every society regardless of the financial status or religious beliefs of those involved.
Violence against women takes many forms - physical, sexual, psychological and economic - with long lasting consequences that seriously compromise the quality of living not only of the victims, but also of their families and the wider community. Health problems, social exclusion and low self esteem are some of the long-term effects of the violent acts that often accompany a culture of inequality between men and women, which brings a great deal of damage often carried on to the next generation.
Education, prevention and support are the key for a brighter future therefore it's extremely important to increase awareness with the hope that the next generations will learn from past mistakes, as well as helping as much as possible those involved. In the UK, nearly £40 million of funding have been allocated by the Government until 2015 for specialist local support services and national helplines and new legislation are being introduced to curb the problem.
If you are a victim of violence or know someone in need of help, there are a lot of organizations you can contact to get support and find a way out of the situation, such as Women's Aid (0808 2000 247 - http://www.womensaid.org.uk/), Refuge (0808 2000 247 - http://refuge.org.uk/) and National Domestic Violence Helpline (0808 2000 247 - http://www.nationaldomesticviolencehelpline.org.uk/).

Who Stole the Green Wall? Louisville Mayor Seeks Rogue Landscaper
Published July 25, 2013 at 10:35 PM EDT
I left work through the side door, into the alley. I do this all the time. But something was different. The wall of the Clay Commons parking garage, which had been covered in vines, was bare. Remnants of the cut vines were on the ground of the alley between the garage and the Louisville Public Media, on South Fourth Street. It seemed like an odd landscaping choice for PARC, which runs the garage.But it wasn't a choice.Someone tore down the green wall without permission.The green wall is expensive. Mayor Greg Fischer's office estimates about $30,000 went to building the appropriate wall and nurturing the plants for a year or so until they were healthy enough to live on rain water and alley sunlight. The wall on the Clay Commons garage was cut at the roots and ripped off. Unconnected tendrils remain higher on the wall, cut off from roots and too high to rip off without a ladder.Walls like this are meant to retain water in cement-heavy city blocks (the kind of blocks taken up by parking garages and radio stations). Otherwise, the water would go into the sewer, possibly causing a flood. The extra greenery may also help reduce the heat island effect common in cities that lack heavy tree cover in the urban core.And they look pretty. (Prettier than a cement wall, at least.)Whoever cut down the green wall dumped the purloined plants in Louisville Public Media's dumpster. With the evidence in our hands, the city came calling. They asked if we knew what happened to the shrubbery (Virginia Creeper for those of you following at home). We didn't have anything to do with it.The city has a surveillance photo of the perpetrator. It looks like a man and he looks like a pro.
City Properties has a project on this block, too. But operations manager Lee Weyland says there's no way a City Properties landscaper did this."We make it pretty clear to them not to touch those," he says. "We put so much time and money into them. Our guys are pretty clear on what to touch and what not to touch.""Those vines weren't cheap," he adds.The mayor has taken to Twitter to find the culprit.Poynter says the city hasn't decided whether to replant the walls, since they're costly and time-consuming.

Sadie is a wonderful and loyal family companion who wants to be with us every where we go, even if it's just in another room! She is 5 1/2 years old. We got her shortly after my first Mini Schnauzer died (who was almost 14 yrs. old) because I just couldn't be without one around.
She doesn't mind taking a bath, but she hates to be brushed, so I keep her hair short. She loves to go on walks and hiking with us. If you look close at her picture you'll see the burs in her beard. We had just returned from a hike in the woods and of course she had to venture off the trail.
Yes she is alot of fun! Mini Schnauzers are the best!!!
Sadie is so cute. She reminds me so much of one of my dogs named Zubee. I bet he wishes he could go on hikes and venture off into the woods. Sadie sounds like a wonderful family pet.
Sadie sounds like a great companion! Aren't Schnauzers fun!?

I can really confuse myself sometimes. See, I already know what's eventually going to happen in this story, so doing stuff like this where it's unveiled VERY gradually makes sense to me. However, since I've had these stories in my head for a LONG time, I can't really gauge if it's coherent to people who are just reading it one page at a time. Plus, I didn't come up with this stuff in two-page-a-week increments, so it feels really when pages I'm used to seeing in a big pile limp out as slowly as they do. All that is to say: I'm not sure this page works the way I wanted it to.
