IHC Titan Type D 45 (1910s)
IHC Titan 45 Lowe Brothers
The Manitoba Agricultural Museum collection features an IHC Titan Type D 45 that was donated to the Museum by the Lowe Brothers of Foxwarren, Manitoba.
The Type D 45 had its origin in the IHC Reliance Type D of 1910. IHC's Milwaukee plant began producing the 20 Horsepower Reliance Type D using IHC "Famous" engine design which was also used in IHC's Type B 20 horsepower tractor. The Type D 25 horsepower tractor soon followed and then the Reliance Type D 45 horsepower appeared. The Reliance Type D 45 featured a 2 cylinder engine that was the first engine specifically designed for use in a tractor by IHC. A distinctive rectangular tank type radiator was developed for the Reliance Type D 45. In 1911, the Reliance models were renamed Titan.
The Type D 45 featured a 2 cylinder horizontal engine running at 335 RPM with force feed oiling, make and break ignition, hit and miss governor and a tank type radiator with a pump. The transmission offered one speed ahead and one speed in reverse. A spur gear drove onto the live rear axle through a bull gear with a differential in the right rear wheel. The Type D 45 developed 45 horsepower on the belt and 27 horsepower at the drawbar. It was rated as being able to pull a 10 bottom plow.
The Type D 45 was replaced in 1914 by the Titan 30-60. Between 1911 and 1914, 1319 Type D 45s were built.
The Titan tractors with multiple cylinders, in general, featured engine cylinders that laid side by side where as the Mogul designs featured opposed cylinder engine designs.
A long time resident of the Elton district recounts that the Vance family of the area possessed what he thinks was a Titan 45. However by the time he was old enough to remember this tractor, it was well into the 1930s and the tractor was badly worn. By that time, it was started by the expedient of wrapping a long rope around the belt pulley a number of times and then attaching the free end of the rope to a single tree with a horse harnessed to the single tree. The horse was then started forward at a trot. The engine then began revolving, hopefully firing up. On one occasion, the operator forgot to retard the ignition to start the tractor, the tractor then fired at the top of the piston stroke and ran backwards. The tractor was still powerful enough that it exerted enough pull to snatch the horse backwards, taking the animal off of its feet. Needless to say this particular horse was never able to be used around the tractor after that experience! Even as part of team on a sheaf wagon at threshing.

The surname Spink in my family tree is from my paternal line. At the moment I have 27 people with this surname. The earliest person is my 4x great grandfather William Spink who was born about 1764, probably in the Linton area of the Yorkshire Dales.
According to surnamedb the name Spink is of Anglo-Saxon origin. It is said to derive from a nickname given in the first instance to someone thought to resemble a finch in some way. Possibly with reference to its brightly coloured plumage or sweet singing voice.
A large number of early medieval surnames were gradually created from the habitual use of nicknames, given with reference to a variety of characteristics, such as
- a person's physical attributes or peculiarities
- mental or moral qualities
- a fancied resemblance to an animal's or bird's appearance or disposition
- habits of dress, or
The first recorded spelling of the family name is believed to be that of Roger Spinc dated 1133 in the "Chartulary of Ramsey Monastery", Bedforshire. Other early recordings are :-
Thomas Spink listed in the Assize Rolls of Northumberland in 1256; the marriage of Edmonde Spincke and Alice Madison in Stepney, London on 5th September 1604; and the marriage of Stephen Spink and Ann Ring on 29th October 1696.

Flip Flop Operator in Ruby
21 Nov 2014
The flip flop operator is one of those weird features of Ruby that most people aren't even aware of. It's one of the many Perlisms that sneaked into Ruby, but hasn't caught on. In this post, we will look at what flip-flop operators are, and where you can use them.
What is it?
The flip flop operator is a range (..) operator used between two conditions in a conditional statement. It looks like this:
(1..20).each do |x|
 puts x if (x == 5) .. (x == 10)
end
The condition evaluates to false every time it is evaluated until the first part evaluates to true. Then it evaluates to true until the second part evaluates to true. In the above example, the flip-flop is turned on when x == 5 and stays on until x == 10, so the numbers from 5 to 10 are printed.
The flip flop operator only works inside ifs and ternary conditions. Everywhere else, Ruby considers it to be the range operator.
Another example
Let's take another example that sheds more light on this operator's behavior. Imagine you're parsing a file which has markers called indent and dedent in it. Whenever you encounter a line that contains indent you need to turn ON indentation for all lines after that, and turn it OFF when you come across a line that contains dedent.
As an example, this is the text we're trying to transform:
zero indentation
indent
inside block
dedent
after the block
indent
another block
dedent
end of file
And this is what the output should look like:
zero indentation
 indent
 inside block
 dedent
after the block
 indent
 another block
 dedent
end of file
In this case, we would need to keep track of whether or not we've turned on indentation. The flip-flop operator does this out of the box for us.
lines = File.readlines('somefile')
lines.each do |line|
 if line =~ /^indent/ .. line =~ /^dedent/
 puts " " + line
 else
 puts line
 end
end
Now the operator starts looking a bit more useful. You could read this as: starting from the lines containing indent, until you encounter dedent, add two spaces at the start of the line.
Is it going to be removed from Ruby?
There is an open issue in Ruby's issue tracker asking for the feature to be removed from Ruby. This is from before Ruby 2.0 was released, and Matz stated that if it were to be removed, it would have to wait till Ruby 3.0.
Under the current plan, I am not going to remove flip-flop from 2.0, since we are not going to made incompatible changes anytime soon. We have to wait until 3.0. (–Matz)
I'm not a big fan of the syntax, and have never had to use it any of my code. If it were to be removed in the future, it wouldn't be missed too much.
There hasn't been any activity on this issue in the past year, so there's no decision yet about whether or not it will disappear some day. But it's good to be aware of the syntax in case you come across the syntax when reading other people's code.

in this latter
case where a connection was made without completing the Passphrase
prompt, the system must have recorded my Passphrase somewhere(?)
Notes:
------
- In either case above (2 & 3) it made no difference whether gnome
keyring is configured or not configured. When I first setup gnome
keyring I was prompted to provide it with the Passphrase for my wireless
network P1Z9X4S8, which I did by selecting "Always Allow".
- When using WiFi-Radar, the connection to my network was immediate
(without receiving the Passphrase prompt) about 20% of the time.

In 2006, Hubbard Brook Ecosystem Study founders Gene Likens and Herb Bormann, together with Tom Gross, a member of the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation Board of Trustees, established a facilitated-dialogue model for linking Hubbard Brook science with environmental issues of local, regional, and national significance. This program was rooted in the belief that a small number of people who don't ordinarily come together, can, through dialogue, harness the power of "ecosystem thinking" to address complex problems.
In 2014, the Hubbard Brook Research Foundation received a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation to investigate the roundtable model as a method of advancing informal science learning among citizens and stakeholders in the rural regions of the Northern Forest. The Forest Science Dialogues project also worked to build capacity for scientists and public engagement practitioners to support outcomes of dialogue activities. The project involved a series of Hubbard Brook Roundtables with invited scientists and stakeholder participants representing major networks across the Northern Forest, including woodlot owners, consulting foresters, corporate and nonprofit land managers, maple syrup producers, loggers, outdoor recreation leaders and business owners, informal and formal educators, economic development organizations, conservation organizations, and state and federal agencies. An external evaluation of the project was conducted by RMC Research Corp. Forest Science Dialogues resulted in new insights about convening intentional dialogues among scientists and stakeholders, overcoming barriers to public engagement with science, understanding scientists' and stakeholders' motivations for participation, and what participants valued about the events.
Hubbard Brook Roundtables typically involve:
- 1–2-day facilitated dialogue sessions
- 10–25 invited participants
- Focus on "gatekeepers" of formal and informal stakeholder networks
- Pre-meeting interviews and synthesis report to inform the agenda
- Outcome activities or products co-designed as part of the dialogue
- Post-dialogue report
It used to be that foresters, of all agencies and groups, would get together to talk. We don't anymore. Times have changed and technologies have changed. Your programs do this — they bring people together."

Doesn't really matter whether what strings you got in place of "Driver" and "Car" as long as the space is there and the name is to the right of the space.

If I did not understand wrong, you could maybe use string_to_array function to split the string into array elements and then reach the elements on your desire.

Would work and a more beautiful than I did, but my field can return information more or less. So much easier if I could create separate fields for each value :/ _USER_ – Irish Wolf Aug 9 '12 at 12:47
Your best bet would be to write a function to take one of these values and return a record with the appropriate columns based on what it finds. That will allow you to debug your function using SELECT statements before you go to populate the new columns (or tables). Then you can use the query in an INSERT/SELECT or UPDATE... FROM.
You could use the plpgsql language for the functions, with the PostgreSQL regex string functions; but if you're fluent in perl or python you might want to write your function in one of those languages.
share|improve this answer
What you're talking about is a very unfortunate design pattern called serialization: that is, condensing multiple semantically different pieces of data into a single string. It's a bad idea most of the time, and in virtually all cases it's a better idea to separate your data into multiple fields, or even multiple tables. By using serialized fields, you'll find you:
 - Have much, MUCH slower queries when querying multiple, serialized subfields
 - Complicated queries for updating multiple parts of the same field
 - Feelings of depression and despair
If I had to deal with a database like that, and I couldn't alter the database structure, I'd probably end up doing a lot of the heavy lifting in program code. Many languages have better (or at least, more intuitive) string handling tools than SQL, and your performance benefits from using a RDBMS are going to be marginal at best when dealing with serialization anyway.
But if you absolutely must do this in SQL, you should read through Postgres's string handling, located here: _URL_
And you're right, your solution is probably going to involve a regex. Exactly what that regex will look like depends on how many serialized fields it has to parse, and exactly how it's delimited. In your example, it looks like each subfield is delimited by a pair of spaces and a pipe character between them, and if that's the case make sure that you either create rules to let you escape that delimiter as needed, or make sure that the frontend never passes the delimeter to the database.
Of course, if you have that kind of control over the frontend app, you could give the serialized data its own fields.

The Chicago Streetscape Program for beautification of commercial districts offers great opportunity to reinforce cultural identity.
Jacobs Ryan Associates (JRA) designed streetscape elements for the 79th Street Corridor from Ashland to Wallace including street trees, fenced planters, and decorative pavements. To develop its design elements, JRA researched the area's urban history, a prominent African American Garret Morgan for whom Morgan Street was named, and cultural symbols and patterns from two significant cloths of the Akan people of Ghana. Kente cloth is a hand woven ceremonial cloth while Adinkra symbols are stamped on to cloth to convey various meanings. The patterns and colors based on Kente cloth are evident as the background of the pole mounted community identifier (shown above), while an Adinkra symbol meaning "Welcome" is displayed in the center. Other Adinkra symbols are incorporated into the paving design for the streetscape. A kiosk at the corner of Morgan and 79th Street celebrates the community, its heroes and its African heritage.
JRA presented preliminary designs to the Mayor's Landscape Committee and worked with the Chicago Landscape Ordinances in order to maximize the impact of new shade trees for the community.

Volcom has confirmed that it is partnering with CottonConnect as part of its 'Farm to Yarn', a traceable organic cotton initiative with social and environmental benefits as it looks to add more transparency in its supply chain.
The multi-year partnership with CottonConnect, an enterprise that believes in a sustainable and transparent cotton supply by connecting retailers to farmers giving a traceable connection for the two, will allow Volcom to build upon its 'Farm to Yarn' launch that has produced nearly 27 metric tons, representing an estimated 15 percent of Volcom's total organic cotton supply, of certified, fully traceable-to the-farm group, organic cotton from 8 different villages in the Madhya Pradesh region of India.
The socially conscious raw materials initiative in India not only features certified organic cotton that's traceable back to the farmers but it also provides social and professional education programmes for the farmers and the women in the farming villages of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, where the cotton is sourced.
The initiative Volcom notes is more than just organic cotton, with benefits to the local farmers and their families including a year-long organic 'farming skills' programme for 150 farmers in Dewas district, Madhya Pradesh, helping them develop and fine tune natural pest control and organic fertilisers, as well as an educational program focused on women's rights and life skills for 50 women farmers and beneficiaries associated with the farming villages, and a Farmer Business School training programme for 100 additional farmers offering lessons on business fundamentals in the state of Maharashtra.
'Farm to Yarn' also has had many social impact benefits including GMO testing to ensure seeds are GMO-free, tracking of tested seed to farmer, ensuring tested seeds are planted, and linking of farmers to the ginner, ginner to the spinner, spinner to the fabric mill for supply chain transparency.
Volcom partners with CottonConnect as part of its 'Farm to Yarn' programme
As a result of the multi-year commitment Volcom will be enhancing and building upon the organic cotton t-shirt range this spring, and will be building on the maiden launch with its second year of the programme supporting farmers who are harvesting now for the 2019-2020 product seasons.
"Partnership has been the keyword used to describe the success of this launch," said Big Tony Alvarez, Volcom's vice president of global of compliance and supply chain in a statement. "Without good partners on the ground, a programme like this rarely stands a chance."
Arvind Rewal, regional director South Asia, CottonConnect, added: "Traceability is critical for the future of organic cotton. It requires a brand to be intentional about mapping its supply chain.
"This project with Volcom and Kering is a great example of how a company is intentionally seeking traceability in a supply chain that was said to be impossible to map."
The organic cotton initiate is part of Volcom's wider 'New Future Alliance' the fashion brand's commitment to implementing initiatives that contribute to a "New Future where our oceans are strong, our climate is stable and we live in a smart and mindful society".

In late fall and winter you can see fruit still on some of the trees and shrubs. What kinds of trees still have fruit? Will the fruit be eaten by animals this winter? Here is an opportunity to do some scientific investigating.
First, look around your school or neighborhood to see if there are trees still loaded with fruit. Can you find any? How will you figure out what kind of trees they are? One way is by using an identification key. Another is just to look through a book or Websiteand try to match the fruit you see with a picture.
Start a journal with a page for each kind of tree or shrub you find. If you don't know what kind of tree or shrub it is, at least make a drawing of the fruit. Show its shape, size, and color. Write down the date you saw it and some kind of note of how many are on the tree or shrub. Is it loaded with fruit or are there just a few?
As fall turns to winter, make a note on your journal page for each kind of tree or shrub. Record how many of the fruits are left and whether you see any clues that birds or other animals are using them for food. How do you know animals are eating them? Are there fewer fruits? Are there partially eaten pieces on the ground? Do you see animals feeding? Do you find animal tracks?
As the weeks go by, what conclusions can you draw from your observations? Do they tell you what fruits are most popular with local animals? Do they tell you what kinds of plants are best for helping local wildlife?
Share what you have learned with your teacher or parent. Explain how your data helped you.

Dokusan/Daisan: Face to Face Teachings with a Teacher
The teacher-student relationship is considered to be one of the most vital aspects of our practice. These personal interactions have been valued and emphasized since the time of the Buddha. They are essential for a teacher to see where a student is in his or her practice. Dokusan is a meeting between a fully transmitted teacher (Sensei or Roshi) and a student. Daisan is a meeting between an Assitant Teacher (Hoshi) and a student. These are meant to be brief and to the point encounters, 5 to 10 minutes. It is not a time for visiting or doing psychotherapy. It is an opportunity to discuss your meditation practice, work with a koan, or simply be with the teacher. An interview is a time to present one's understanding. It is the teacher's responsibility to validate that understanding, or offer guidance towards a more complete perspective. It's common to get stuck in a certain place along the spiritual path. A skilled teacher can recognize where you might be stuck, and give you a gentle nudge in the right direction.
There is a right to a reasonable sense of confidentiality regarding what is said in dokusan. However, it is common practice that senior Dharma teachers may consult with each other and hold confidentialities among them. Personal and identifying details that are irrelevant to practice are not shared.


Getting IT Done / News, evals, and advice
Review: Free, open source VirtualBox lags behind VMware and Parallels
Poor 3D support and lack of OS integration features hurt VirtualBox the most.
VirtualBox does include a Seamless Mode that lets you use your Windows apps alongside your OS X apps, and it works more or less as intended—basically, the desktop is maximized and made transparent, and the application windows and taskbar are left visible. This can lead to some awkwardness if your dock and taskbar are both located on the same edge of the screen, and window dragging and resizing are occasionally laggy, but otherwise it's not bad. Parallels offers more thorough integration—it will put Windows' system tray icons in OS X's menu bar, for example—but the basic operation is the same.
Enlarge / VirtualBox's Seamless mode works pretty well, though the taskbar can sometimes get in the way of your OS X applications.
Enlarge / Parallels Desktop's "coherence" mode doesn't show a taskbar, puts Windows system tray icons in the OS X menu bar, and can launch applications from the Finder without first starting the VM.
Lastly, while the latest versions of VMware and Parallels both offer differing levels of Retina Display support, VirtualBox doesn't. Things like OS X's window title bars and buttons are rendered properly at the higher resolution, but VirtualBox-specific graphics and UI elements are still pixelated.
Most importantly, the guest OS itself is blurry and pixelated, and turning up the scaling from within the guest OS just makes for larger blurry, pixelated text and icons. Macs with Retina displays are still a small part of the overall Mac population, but early adopters will need to look to the commercial products to get their Retina fix.
Windows 8 experience and 3D support
Running Windows 8 in VirtualBox isn't actually too much different from running Windows 7 in VirtualBox. When resizing the VirtualBox windows (and thus changing the VM's resolution) the operating system does make a series of bings and bongs that will quickly make you lunge for the mute button, but otherwise the desktop (and desktop apps) work as they do in Windows 7.
Hot corners continue to be a mixed bag, as they are in Parallels and VMware. When the VM window has focus, either in windowed or full-screen mode, any hot corners you have configured in OS X simply stop working, which prevents conflicts with Windows 8's built-in hot corners. I have one in the upper left-hand corner of my screen that I use to lock the Mac when I'm getting up for a moment, and it doesn't work when the Windows VM is the currently active window. That doesn't mean there aren't problems—in full-screen mode, attempting to activate the hot corners can sometimes bring up the OS X menu bar or Dock instead, and in windowed mode the corners can be hard to activate before you roll the cursor off the edge of the screen.
The main problem with using Windows 8 in VirtualBox, especially when running apps from the Windows Store, lies in the software's 3D performance issues.
3D support in VirtualBox
First, a primer: VirtualBox includes basic support for both Direct3D 8 and 9 and OpenGL 2.1, and as of version 4.1.0 (released in July of 2011) it also includes a Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM)-capable graphics driver that supports the Aero Glass effects in Windows Vista and Windows 7 guests.
The main problem with this 3D support is that it is labeled as "experimental," and for very good reason: enabling it is a great way to cause crashes. Windows 8 works pretty well in VirtualBox without the 3D driver enabled, but turning it on made for problems while trying to resize windows, and out-and-out crashes when trying to switch between windowed and fulls-creen modes.
Without 3D support, however, many Windows Store apps are rendered virtually unusable because of the operating system's increased use of 3D effects and transitions. Even basic apps like Solitaire look like flipbooks without 3D acceleration—if you're sticking to basic applications like Mail or Internet Explorer (or desktop apps like Microsoft Office) you'll be fine without it, but 3D-accelerated games and apps will cause problems.
Things are slightly better in Windows 7, where enabling 3D (and Aero) creates some cursor flickering and screen tearing but fewer crashes. After installing Steam in my VM, I downloaded three older games to see if I could get them to run. The first, Audiosurf, is a Direct3D 9 game released in 2008 which runs well enough even on older netbooks, but the entire VM crashed as it was opening. The second, the original Torchlight, crashed the first time I opened it, but afterward ran (albeit not entirely smoothly) at 1080p with the settings on High (though it should be noted that resizing the VirtualBox window was enough to make the game crash again). The third, 2004's Half-Life 2, plays the opening Valve cinematic and tries to load, but like Audiosurf, it crashes the VM instead. If VirtualBox can't play this selection, it's safe to say it won't be usable for anything approaching modern gaming.
To test out OpenGL support, I downloaded the latest version of the OpenGL Extensions Viewer, a cross-platform test that examines what OpenGL extensions are supported by your hardware and software and offers basic tests to evaluate their performance and compliance with the standards. The tool confirmed that our Windows 7 VM did indeed support OpenGL 2.1, but it failed the OpenGL 1.4 test with an error, and the numbers for the rest of the tests speak volumes about its performance:
Iron Fist Boxing King test in 64-bit Windows 7 on a 2011 iMac.
Any virtualization falls short compared to running Windows directly on the hardware, but the latest version of VirtualBox struggles to deliver even 25 percent of Parallels' speed in most of the tests. OpenGL support seems a bit more stable than Direct3D support, but it's still pretty slow.
Windows gaming and 3D work will sometimes be possible in VirtualBox, but the instability of the 3D driver and the low performance makes it an untenable option for most. That said, if you're playing Windows games on your Mac, Bootcamp continues to be the most logical choice.
The biggest problem with VirtualBox, at least in OS X, is its inconsistency—even simple features like USB pass-through support or importing virtual hard drive files from other programs either don't work consistently or don't work at all, and more complex (though increasingly crucial) features like 3D are even more problematic.
The other issue is OS integration—VirtualBox works basically the same way in Windows, Linux, and OS X. While it's generally good to be consistent, its lack of OS-specific features and integration options make it particularly difficult to recommend for Mac users, especially when the competition can make the Windows desktop and every one of your Windows apps look and behave almost as they would on a standard Windows system.
For most Mac users, VirtualBox works best if you only need sporadic or temporary access to Windows or Linux—useful for those who do most of their work in OS X, but still need to kick things to another OS for testing or for the sake of comparison (checking Internet Explorer's page rendering is the example that comes most readily to mind). If you need an environment that you can actually work in, both VMware and Parallels offer features and operating system integration that are miles ahead of VirtualBox's, and while 3D rendering isn't perfect in either of those commercial products, it's still better than in VirtualBox, where even 3D acceleration for the Windows UI is labeled "experimental."
VirtualBox is free, which is great, and it has made some tentative strides forward in the last few years—the addition of OS X guests is a plus, and the rudimentary 3D support is nice to have if your apps can use it without crashing. If you need virtualization for serious work, though, the commercial products will quickly earn their keep.

The documentation you are viewing is for Dapr v1.0 which is an older version of Dapr. For up-to-date documentation, see the latest version.
How-To: Use W3C trace context with Dapr
Using W3C tracing standard with Dapr
How to use trace context
Dapr uses W3C trace context for distributed tracing for both service invocation and pub/sub messaging. Dapr does all the heavy lifting of generating and propagating the trace context information and there are very few cases where you need to either propagate or create a trace context. First read scenarios in the W3C distributed tracing article to understand whether you need to propagate or create a trace context.
To view traces, read the how to diagnose with tracing article.
How to retrieve trace context from a response
Note: There are no helper methods exposed in Dapr SDKs to propagate and retrieve trace context. You need to use http/gRPC clients to propagate and retrieve trace headers through http headers and gRPC metadata.
Retrieve trace context in Go
For HTTP calls
OpenCensus Go SDK provides ochttp package that provides methods to retrieve trace context from http response.
To retrieve the trace context from HTTP response, you can use :
f := tracecontext.HTTPFormat{}
sc, ok := f.SpanContextFromRequest(req)
For gRPC calls
To retrieve the trace context header when the gRPC call is returned, you can pass the response header reference as gRPC call option which contains response headers:
var responseHeader metadata.MD
// Call the InvokeService with call option
// grpc.Header(&responseHeader)
client.InvokeService(ctx, &pb.InvokeServiceRequest{
 Id: "client",
 Message: &commonv1pb.InvokeRequest{
 Method: "MyMethod",
 ContentType: "text/plain; charset=UTF-8",
 Data: &any.Any{Value: []byte("Hello")},
 },
 },
 grpc.Header(&responseHeader))
Retrieve trace context in C#
For HTTP calls
To retrieve the trace context from HTTP response, you can use .NET API :
// client is HttpClient. req is HttpRequestMessage
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.SendAsync(req);
IEnumerable<string> values1, values2;
string traceparentValue = "";
string tracestateValue = "";
if (response.Headers.TryGetValues("traceparent", out values1))
{
 traceparentValue = values1.FirstOrDefault();
}
if (response.Headers.TryGetValues("tracestate", out values2))
{
 tracestateValue = values2.FirstOrDefault();
}
For gRPC calls
To retrieve the trace context from gRPC response, you can use Grpc.Net.Client ResponseHeadersAsync method.
// client is Dapr proto client
using var call = client.InvokeServiceAsync(req);
var response = await call.ResponseAsync;
var headers = await call.ResponseHeadersAsync();
var tracecontext = headers.First(e => e.Key == "grpc-trace-bin");
Additional general details on calling gRPC services with .NET client here.
How to propagate trace context in a request
Note: There are no helper methods exposed in Dapr SDKs to propagate and retrieve trace context. You need to use http/gRPC clients to propagate and retrieve trace headers through http headers and gRPC metadata.
Pass trace context in Go
For HTTP calls
OpenCensus Go SDK provides ochttp package that provides methods to attach trace context in http request.
f := tracecontext.HTTPFormat{}
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", "http://localhost:3500/v1.0/invoke/mathService/method/api/v1/add", nil)
traceContext := span.SpanContext()
f.SpanContextToRequest(traceContext, req)
For gRPC calls
traceContext := span.SpanContext()
traceContextBinary := propagation.Binary(traceContext)
You can then pass the trace context through gRPC metadata through grpc-trace-bin header.
ctx = metadata.AppendToOutgoingContext(ctx, "grpc-trace-bin", string(traceContextBinary))
You can then continuing passing this go context ctx in subsequent Dapr gRPC calls as first parameter. For example InvokeService, context is passed in first parameter.
Pass trace context in C#
For HTTP calls
To pass trace context in HTTP request, you can use .NET API :
// client is HttpClient. req is HttpRequestMessage
req.Headers.Add("traceparent", traceparentValue);
req.Headers.Add("tracestate", tracestateValue);
HttpResponseMessage response = await client.SendAsync(req);
For gRPC calls
To pass the trace context in gRPC call metadata, you can use Grpc.Net.Client ResponseHeadersAsync method.
// client is Dapr.Client.Autogen.Grpc.v1
var headers = new Metadata();
headers.Add("grpc-trace-bin", tracecontext);
using var call = client.InvokeServiceAsync(req, headers);
Additional general details on calling gRPC services with .NET client here.
How to create trace context
You can create a trace context using the recommended OpenCensus SDKs. OpenCensus supports several different programming languages.
Language SDK
Go Link
Java Link
C# Link
C++ Link
Node.js Link
Python Link
Create trace context in Go
1. Get the OpenCensus Go SDK
Prerequisites: OpenCensus Go libraries require Go 1.8 or later. For details on installation go here.
2. Import the package "_URL_"
$ go get -u go.opencensus.io
3. Create trace context
ctx, span := trace.StartSpan(ctx, "cache.Get")
defer span.End()
// Do work to get from cache.
Create trace context in Java
try (Scope ss = TRACER.spanBuilder("cache.Get").startScopedSpan()) {
}
Create trace context in Python
with tracer.span(name="cache.get") as span:
 pass
Create trace context in NodeJS
tracer.startRootSpan({name: 'cache.Get'}, rootSpan => {
});
Create trace context in C++
opencensus::trace::Span span = opencensus::trace::Span::StartSpan(
 "cache.Get", nullptr, {&sampler});
Create trace context in C#
var span = tracer.SpanBuilder("cache.Get").StartScopedSpan();
Putting it all together with a Go Sample
Configure tracing in Dapr
First you need to enable tracing configuration in Dapr. This step is mentioned for completeness from enabling tracing to invoking Dapr with trace context. Create a deployment config yaml e.g. appconfig.yaml with following configuration.
apiVersion: _URL_
kind: Configuration
metadata:
 name: appconfig
spec:
 tracing:
 samplingRate: "1"
In Kubernetes, you can apply the configuration as below :
kubectl apply -f appconfig.yaml
You then set the following tracing annotation in your deployment YAML. You can add the following annotaion in sample grpc app deployment yaml.
_URL_ "appconfig"
Invoking Dapr with trace context
Dapr covers generating trace context and you do not need to explicitly create trace context.
However if you choose to pass the trace context explicitly, then Dapr will use the passed trace context and propagate all across the HTTP/gRPC call.
Using the grpc app in the example and putting this all together, the following steps show you how to create a Dapr client and call the InvokeService method passing the trace context:
The Rest code snippet and details, refer to the grpc app.
1. Import the package
package main
import (
 pb "_URL_-sdk/dapr"
 "_URL_"
 "go.opencensus.io/trace/propagation"
 "_URL_"
 "google.golang.org/grpc/metadata"
)
2. Create the client
 // Get the Dapr port and create a connection
 daprPort := os.Getenv("DAPR_GRPC_PORT")
 daprAddress := fm

In conjunction with the Philippines Autism Consciousness Week, the proposed event was conducted based on the partnership built between government agencies and civil society organizations in the Southeast Asia and Japan. The event aimed to build a basis of dynamic exchange between Southeast Asia, particularly countries in the Mekong sub-region, and Japan about autism and recreation, leisure and sports as the first attempt in this area.
Over 400 participants from the Mekong countries and Japan enjoyed the opportunities for the human exchange. They gained knowledge and experience of the Philippines in terms of recreation, leisure and sports in the autism context. The participants also learned the outcome and impact of the movement at the national level through the Angel's walk for Autism. All the partners recapped the findings and lessons learned and, all the activities conducted were reviewed to make sure that knowledge and experience gained from the Philippines would be available in the Mekong countries.

[ Ross Island ] [ In Search Of the Early Miners ] [ Links ]
Island Mine,showing dam embankment
'Besides the beauty which Nature has so bountifully scattered over
the surfaces of this island, she has buried immense treasures in its
bosom. Here lead and copper are to be had in great abundance...' (G.N.
Ross Island, on the eastern side of Lough Leane, saw the mining of
copper and other metals at different times over the past four thousand
years. Copper mining began here at the dawn of the Bronze Age (c.2400-1800
BC) when metal was first used in Ireland. The discovery of Beaker
pottery links this mine to the very beginnings of Irish metallurgy in
the final Neolithic period. Mining resumed here in the early Christian
era around the eight century AD, and subsequently at different times
during the 18th and 19th centuries. This culminated in large-scale
industrial operations between _PHONE_ when some 5000 tons of copper
ore were sold to smelters in England.
Blue Hole Mine,1829
The Blue hole Mine Today
In all periods at Ross Island mining focused on a copper-rich horizon
within the local limestone geology. This rich mineral deposit is confined
to a small part of the southern coastline where copper minerals streak the
blue limestone rocks. This mineralisation extends to a maximum depth of
only 13-16m along the lake shore and could be mined with relative ease,
water levels permitting.
The mine is located on a bed of copper-rich limestone (the Western
Mine), principally containing the yellow mineral chalcopyrite (CuFeS2)
and the grey tennantite ore (Cu12As4S13).
This bedded deposit is bordered on the eastern side by a vein-type
structure (the Blue Hole) containing a rich deposit of copper, lead and
zinc ore. The mineralisation at Ross Island also has a significant silver
content which may have been extracted in ancient times.

Time Lapse: Scituate Reservoir construction began 100 years ago
The Providence Journal
It was 100 years ago this year that construction began on the Scituate Reservoir, which provides water to a large portion of Rhode Island. It was the biggest public works project in the state at the time. Several villages, including Kent, were taken over by the project. Residents' homes were purchased by the government, even though some residents were reluctant to leave. It took about five years of construction before the reservoir began holding water for use by Providence and many other cities and towns.

Perspectives on Logistics Leadership
Five critical dimensions for leadership in logistics can be identified to transform the 20 percent of the logistics change initiative directly within the control of a companys logistics organization. As a catalyst for widespread change, however, logistics leadership must include many other areas of business.
Few logistics executives have been trained in leadership and change management and most have limited experience with successful change. Since there are few university programs in leadership or change management, most managers extend their limited academic background with on-the-job experience to guide them. To effectively lead and provide the direction for change, it is important that executives understand the dimensions of logistics leadership and the dynamics of supply chain change.
The most fundamental point to keep in mind about logistics and supply chain leadership and change is that a business process that provides some level of performance is almost always in place. Rarely does logistics change management commence from ground zero. Management must begin with the existing process, keep it working at a level to maintain adequate performance during the change process, and redesign and implement enhanced supply chain processes. Logistics and supply chain change improves a process or practice that isnt broken and, in the minds of some, doesnt need to be fixed.
Logistics leadership and change management requires the ability to identify the vectors of logistics change and then the ability to propose and operationalize initiatives to profit from being the first to respond. Based on the Supply Chain Process Model introduced in 21st Century Logistics: Making Supply Chain Integration a Reality, Exhibit 1 illustrates the major capabilities critical for logistics leaders. The ball illustrated in motion by the dotted lines represents the rapidly changing supply chain environment. Like supply chain requirements, the motion is constant and it is continuously being redirected under the influence of customer and competitive actions. The Supply Chain Change Process Model suggests five critical dimensions for logistics leadership. The dimensions include:
The first dimension is the ability to understand both customer and end-customer supply chain requirements. This includes understanding service requirements and performance levels that will be necessary to satisfy intermediate and end-customers today and especially in the future. For example, logistics leaders must be able to identify the changing delivery and service requirements of channel segments or even of individual customers. The true leader must not only understand current requirements, but must also anticipate future supply chain requirements of customers and the end-customer. An understanding of current and future requirements allows the logistics leader to define the ultimate goal. Not only is this dimension critical for leading the executives own firm, it is equally as import to be able to lead and educate the firms critical customers to ensure their long-term success.
To enhance the current situation, the vision must be shared and adopted by a wide range of individuals and groups who must be involved to achieve meaningful change.
The second dimension of a logistics leader is the ability to identify and understand competitive capabilities. A logistics leader must anticipate and understand the current and likely strengths and weaknesses of key competitors. Such understanding is critical to allow a firm and its supply chain partners to match competitive threats and target weaknesses. However, information and understanding regarding the supply chain environment are often difficult to obtain. The leader must determine the framework to characterize both competitive and non-competitive firms and then develop the means to assess and benchmark other organizations. While it is not easy to identify the current capabilities of competitors, true logistics leaders must insight regarding future competitive capabilities
Supply Chain Competencie
The third dimension of a logistics leader is the ability to understand and critically evaluate the competencies of their own supply chain. The Supply Chain 2000 Framework and diagnostic methodology introduced at Michigan State University (MSU) determined that high performing supply chains exhibit high degrees of customer integration, internal integration, material/service supplier integration, technology and planning integration, measurement integration and relationship integration (For a more detailed discussion, see 21st Century Logistics: Making Supply Chain Integration a Reality from the Council of Logistics Management). For each of these integration competencies, a logistics leader must be able to assess the firms capabilities as well as the complementary capabilities of other supply chain partners. While the MSU research has demonstrated that high performing supply chains must have a high level of ability in all of the integration competencies, it is possible for firms to achieve high performance by using the competencies of supply chain partners.
Visioning is a process of creativity and innovation. The fourth dimension of logistics leaders is the ability to develop a big picture perspective that conceptualizes the dynamics and influence of complex interrelationships. Leaders see an integrative pattern of connectiveness where others may see only specific events and problems requiring resolution. The connectiveness relates the trends in terms of customer requirements, firm capabilities, competitive capabilities and the responses in the form of firm competitiveness. Leaders are able to create a vision of future market requirements and then identify refinements in operations, processes, or application of external resources to achieve such visions. Such leaders are also able to articulate the reality of the present, thus identifying the comparative gap between vision and reality needed to motivate change.
The role of visioning is to conceptualize the supply chain situation and identify desirable and achievable system modifications consistent with overall enterprise objectives. To enhance the current situation, the vision must be shared and adopted by a wide range of individuals and groups who must be involved if to achieve meaningful change. Thus, visions with a high degree of perceived legitimacy and offering substantial opportunity are more likely to be accepted over those proposing radical change. For some types of supply chain change, reasonable modification of current practices and relationships is sufficient. The truly difficult leadership challenges are those proposing that well-established practices or relationships be discarded or radically modified. As noted earlier, resistance to new practices and relationships that challenge a sense of individual and business security can force a serious, if not terminal, resistance to the change management process.
The difference between the logistics leaders current assessment and the vision of desired achievement defines the opportunity gap that determines the performance and financial benefits attainable from improved integration. To be meaningful, these performance and financial measures must be quantified to initiate and drive change. In this respect, leadership is essential to help simplify operating complexity by identifying and focusing on relationships and practices that, if modified, have the potential to enhance performance. Change management leadership is the art of creatively identifying, articulating and guiding a shared vision of the opportunity gap and the means to improve. While leaders astute in change management may identify an opportunity and scope its potential, the existence and magnitude of a gap is typically not so obvious to managers who are deeply involved in day-to-day operations. The balance between vision, current reality, and resource opportunities creates the essence of a logistics leaders action plan.
Successful logistics change leaders must be able to communicate the benefits and risks associated with the vision in a credible manner if widespread support for any initiative is to be generated. Leaders who successfully enable change are masters at creating legitimacy for visions in terms of detailing future directions and conceptualizing the capabilities and resources necessary to get there. Most important, such visions must be aligned with overall enterprise and supply chain goals.
Just as a firms supply chain competency is dynamic, so are the associated visions. Since visions are about the future, they frequently change. In fact, visions must undergo constant refinement if they are to remain relevant. Once a vision is widely shared, it immediately impacts current decision-making. In essence, the shared vision becomes part of the present as well as the desired future and the logistics leader can effectively establish that vision as the goal.
In a matter of time, organizational leaders will conclude that sufficient potential exists to justify undertaking change. The fifth dimension of logistics leadership is the ability to develop this conclusion and then develop a plan to operationalize it. The sales and development process is particularly challenging in a transition environment. The environmental dynamics of logistics and supply chain management mean that the guidelines and principles must be constantly transitioned and refined. The principles that were learned or applied yesterday must be refined to work in the current environment. Effective action planning requires the logistics leader to adapt and extend the traditional principles to the current and anticipated environment.
This requires that the logistics leader be able to systematically: 1) identify the change initiatives; 2) characterize the benefits; 3) determine the obstacles to overcome; 4) highlight the organizational implications; 5) determine the resource requirements; and 6) establish accountability and action measurements. While it is not be necessary for the logistics leader to embody the detailed skills for change management, an effective leader must maintain the big-picture perspective and drive the change management initiatives.
Typically, supply chain change also requires the alignment of operations outside the direct control of a specific executive and, in terms of the supply chain, even the firm itself. One executive stressed the fundamental importance of leadership by estimating that only 20 percent of the scope of a typical logistical change initiative is within the direct control of a firms logistics organization. The remaining 80 percent typically involve the responsibilities of managers from other business areas. Thus, logistical leaders must sell ideas and serve as cross-functional catalysts. Managing change through others is a difficult task that logistics leaders need to master.
The abilities represented through these dimensions represent a significant challenge and a substantial opportunity for managers to differentiate themselves. Combining logistics and supply chain knowledge with effective change management skills provides an individual an opportunity to establish his or her importance in supply chain and supply chains importance for the organization. The increasing role that logistics and supply chain management continue to take in corporate competitiveness shows that there will always be a need for logistics leaders.

I remember hearing somewhere that strongly irreducible Heegaard surfaces in hyperbolic 3-manifolds "look like" fibers.
I know that Otal's result about short geodesics in hyperbolic mapping tori being unlinked with respect to fibers has an analogue in the setting of strongly irreducible Heegaard surfaces.
Can someone tell me some other similarities between strongly irreducible Heegaard surfaces and fibers in hyperbolic 3-manifolds? Or why someone would say that strongly irreducible Heegaard surfaces look like fibers? Any references would be greatly appreciated.

Something more basic is true. Strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings act a lot like incompressible surfaces (of which fibers are a special case). Here are two results as evidence.
First, suppose that the three-manifold is equipped with a triangulation. Then Haken showed that incompressible surfaces can be normalized. That is, isotoped to intersect every tetrahedron in a collection of standard disks; normal triangles and normal quads. Rubinstein (and Stocking) showed that strongly irreducible splittings can be "almost normalized"; in every tetrahedron it has normal disks and in at most one tetrahedron there is an almost normal annulus or octagon. Michelle Stocking's thesis is a standard reference for this material. Many people (Rubinstein, Hass, Bachman, Scott,...) will say in public that the above is a PL version of an analytic truth: incompressible surfaces can be isotoped to be minimal surfaces of index zero while strongly irreducible surfaces can be made minimal of index one.
Second, suppose that $S, T$ are surfaces, with $T$ incompressible. If $S$ is also incompressible then it is an exercise in innermost disks to show that, after isotoping $S$ to meet $T$ minimally, all curves of intersection are essential on both surfaces. If $S$ is instead strongly irreducible then a one-parameter sweep-out argument, followed by an innermost disk argument shows that there is some position of $S$ where all curves of intersection are essential on both surfaces.
Ok, third (I couldn't resist), suppose that the ambient three-manifold is hyperbolic. Minsky's approach to the ending lamination conjecture says that the geometry "around" the incompressible surface or a strongly irreducible splitting can be modelled using "blocks" based on the four-holed sphere or once-holed torus, where the blocks are glued to each other vertically using pairs of pants and horizontally using solid tori (Margulis tubes).

Cow Farm : The Netherlands is famous for its cheese, windmills, and tulips. But did you know that there is a special kind of farm where cows lay eggs? Yes, you heard it correctly, eggs from cows!This ᴜпіqᴜe cow farm in the Netherlands is very different from others. Instead of raising cows for milk, meаt, or cheese, they focus on breeding cows that produce special eggs. These eggs are not like the ones you find in the store. They are bigger and have a stronger shell, so they don't Ьгeаk easily.
While the concept of raising cows for eggs might appear ᴜпᴜѕᴜаɩ, its origins trace back to Indonesia in the early 1900s and have since expanded to various countries, the Netherlands included.
The cows on this farm are specially bred to lay ᴜпіqᴜe eggs, which are then ѕoɩd to local markets and restaurants. People in the area love these eggs because they are different and good for health.
But why do these cows lay eggs instead of just giving milk like normal cows? The reason is their genes. These cows are created by mixing a special kind of chicken called the leghorn, which is known for laying big eggs. By mixing the genes of cows and this chicken, farmers can make cows that lay similar eggs.
Even though it's an ᴜпᴜѕᴜаɩ idea, the farm cares about the well-being of the animals. The cows are treated well and have enough space to move, eаt grass, and interact with other cows. They are fed a healthy diet and are not put through any һагmfᴜɩ practices.
To sum up, the peculiar cow farm in the Netherlands may ѕtгіke as odd at first glance, yet it's an ingenious means of producing food. Through breeding cows that yield ᴜпіqᴜe eggs, they've created a delectable and unparalleled product. If you find yourself in the Netherlands, a visit to this farm to experience these extгаoгdіпагу eggs firsthand is highly recommended!


leanify_r6 moves the content of an R6::R6Class's functions to an environment, usually the package's namespace, to save space during serialization of R6 objects. leanify_package move all methods of all R6 Classes to an environment.
The function in the class (i.e. the object generator) is replaced by a stump function that does nothing except calling the original function that now resides somewhere else.
It is possible to call this function after the definition of an R6::R6 class inside a package, but it is preferred to use leanify_package() to just leanify all R6::R6 classes inside a package.
leanify_r6(cls, env = cls$parent_env)
leanify_package(pkg_env = parent.frame(), skip_if = function(x) FALSE)
Class generator to modify.
The target environment where the function should be stored. This should be either cls$parent_env (default) or one of its parent environments, otherwise the stump function will not find the moved (original code) function.
:: environment
The namespace from which to leanify all R6 classes. Does not have to be a package namespace, but this is the intended usecase.
:: function
Function with one argument: Is called for each individual R6::R6Class. If it returns TRUE, the class is skipped. Default function evaluating to FALSE always (i.e. skipping no classes).


The :attr::ccdc.molecule.Molecule.HBondCriterion.path_length_range may be used to control whether hydrogen bonds may span distinct components of a molecule. By default this range is set to (4, 999), i.e. hydrogen bonding atoms must be on the same component and separated by at least four atoms. We can change this to detect hydrogen bonds between the components of a molecule:
>>> catkit = csd.molecule('CATKIT')
>>> print(len(catkit.hbonds()))
>>> criterion.path_length_range = (-1, 999)
>>> print(len(catkit.hbonds(hbond_criterion=criterion)))
Within the ccdc.molecule.Molecule.HBondCriterion we have access to the atom types required for forming hydrogen bonds. These may be changed to include or exclude particular hydrogen bonds. The atom types are exposed as dictionary-like attributes of ccdc.molecule.Molecule.HBondCriterion:
>>> criterion = Molecule.HBondCriterion()
>>> donor_types = criterion.donor_types
>>> print(', '.join(k for k in donor_types.keys()))
+nitrogen, metal bound N, imine N, aromatic (6-ring) N, amide or thioamide N, planar N, pyramidal N, ammonium N (NH4+, RNH3+ etc.), unclassified N, -nitrogen, +oxygen, metal bound O, water O, hydroxyl O, unclassified O, -oxygen, +sulphur, metal bound S, non metal bound S, -sulphur, +carbon, sp C, sp2 C, sp3 C, aromatic C, carboncationic C, -carbon
As with all dictionary-like objects, care must be taken to use the exact string as a key. The values are 'YES', 'NO' and 'NEVER'. The latter is purely heuristic, indicating that it is highly unlikely that this should ever be considered a hydrogen-bonding atom. When setting, the values True and False will work as expected:
>>> print(donor_types['carboncationic C'])
>>> donor_types['carboncationic C'] = True
This interface is somewhat fiddly and error prone, so there are methods using atoms as exemplars of their type:
>>> donor_atom = abacuf.atoms[5]
>>> print(criterion.is_donor(donor_atom))
>>> print(criterion.donor_atom_type(donor_atom))
metal bound O
>>> criterion.set_donor_type(donor_atom, False)
>>> print(criterion.is_donor(donor_atom))
Now no hydrogen bonds will be found using this criterion:
>>> print(abacuf.hbonds(hbond_criterion=criterion))
Accessing atomic properties
Let us have a look at the atomic properties available to us using the ABEBUF structure. To do this we will need an atom. Let us just use the first one in the molecule.
>>> atom = mol.atoms[0]
We can identify the atom using the index and/or the label. Atoms may have residue labels where these have been set in the molecule.
>>> print(atom.index)
>>> print(atom.label)
>>> print(atom.residue_label)
>>> atom.residue_label = 'RES'
>>> print(atom.residue_label)
There is a convenience method, ccdc.molecule.Molecule.set_residue_by_component() which sets the residue labels of disconnected components of the molecule to distinct values.
To understand the chemistry we can inspect the atomic symbol and the formal charge.
>>> print(atom.atomic_symbol)
>>> print(atom.formal_charge)
There is a property to inspect the partial charge of an atom, where available, and a method of the molecule to calculate partial charges. The method used is that of Gasteiger J.; Marsili M., Tetrahedron 36 (22) 3219-3228 1980. This is comparatively fast, and has good convergence properties, but is applicable only to organic molecules. Accordingly a bool is returned indicating the success of failure of the assignment.
>>> print(atom.partial_charge)
>>> print(mol.assign_partial_charges())
>>> print(round(atom.partial_charge, 2))
If a formal charge is explicitly set for any atom of the molecule, the partial charges will be invalid and so will be removed.
>>> atom.formal_charge = -1
>>> print(atom.partial_charge)
In common with many cheminformatics toolkits, the partial charge properties of atoms may be abused to store an arbitrary value:
>>> atom.partial_charge = 3.14
>>> print(round(atom.partial_charge, 2))
Finally, partial charges may be removed, allowing atomic formal charges to be represented in a mol2 format charge field:
>>> mol.remove_partial_charges()
>>> print(atom.partial_charge)
Furthermore, there are also descriptors to check whether or not an atom is a metal, a hydrogen bond donor, a hydrogen bond acceptor and whether or not it is in a ring system.
>>> atom.is_metal
>>> atom.is_donor
>>> atom.is_acceptor
>>> atom.is_cyclic
Clearly, we also have access to the atomic coordinates.
>>> print(atom.coordinates)
Coordinates(x=1.929, y=5.168, z=1.721)
>>> print(', '.join('%.4f' % a for a in atom.fractional_coordinates))
0.1799, 0.4741, 0.0623
The coordinates returned by ccdc.molecule.Atom.coordinates() is in orthogonal space. If the atom has no coordinates, None will be returned. Similarly fractional_coordinates will return None if no coordinate information is available.
Where the uncertainty of the determination of the coordinates has been recorded, this information may be obtained from the atom. In the case of ABEBUF read from the molecule file, this information is not available:
>>> print(atom.fractional_uncertainties)
However the CSD entry for ABEBUF does contain the requisite data:
>>> abebuf = io.MoleculeReader('CSD').molecule('ABEBUF')
>>> a = abebuf.atoms[0]
>>> print(a.fractional_uncertainties)
(0.17989(8), 0.47410(8), 0.06227(3))
>>> uncertain_val = a.fractional_uncertainties[0]
>>> print(uncertain_val.value)
>>> print(uncertain_val.precision)
>>> print(uncertain_val.uncertainty)
Atoms read from some sources, such as PDB files or CIF files may have atomic displacement parameters recorded. For such atoms there is a property, ccdc.molecule.Atom.displacement_parameters giving access to a class, ccdc.molecule.Atom.DisplacementParameters from which these data may be extracted. Atoms read from the CSD do not yet contain atomic displacement parameters, so the property returns None:
>>> print(atom.displacement_parameters)
However, an atom read from a PDB file will have this information:
>>> file_name = 'pdb1fax.pdb'
>>> from ccdc.protein import Protein
>>> protein = Protein.from_file(file_name)
>>> atom_with_adps = protein.atoms[0]
>>> adps = atom_with_adps.displacement_parameters
>>> print(adps.type)
>>> print(adps.temperature_factor)
There are other, more specialised data available: please see the documentation of the class for more details.
There is a convenience property to determine whether all the heavy atoms of a molecule have 3D coordinate information:
>>> mol.is_3d
We have access to the neighbouring atoms:
>>> atom.neighbours
and to the bonds to this atom:
>>> atom.bonds
(Bond(Double Atom(O1) Atom(C1)),)
We can access R/S chirality information for atoms:
>>> duxyea = io.MoleculeReader('CSD').molecule('DUXYEA')
>>> print(', '.join('(%s, %s)' % (a.label, a.chirality) for a in duxyea.atoms if a.is_chiral))
(C1, S), (C3, R), (C6, R), (C7, S)...
We will also detect para-chiral centres where the chirality of the atom depends only on the chirality of connected atoms:
>>> hptrol = io.MoleculeReader('csd').molecule('HPTROL')
>>> hptrol.add_hydrogens()
>>> print(', '.join('(%s, %s)' % (a.label, a.chirality) for a in hptrol.atoms if a.is_chiral)) # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
(C2, R), (C4, S), (C6, S)
HPTROL 2D diagram.
HPTROL 2D diagram, to exemplify para-chiral centres.
Here the central C4 atom is para-chiral since the atoms C2 and C6 have opposite chirality.
Accessing bond properties
Let us have a look at the bond properties available to us using the ABEBUF structure. To do this we will need a bond. Let us just use the first one in the molecule.
>>> bond = mol.bonds[0]
To identify the bond we can access the two atoms connected by it.
>>> atom1, atom2 = bond.atoms
>>> print(atom1.label)
>>> print(atom2.label)
To understand the chemistry we can check the bond type.
>>> print(bond.bond_type)
Note that we can also use integers to check the type of a bond.
>>> bond.bond_type == 1
>>> bond.bond_type == 2
The integers used to represent bond types according to the CSD convention are.
Type Integer
Unknown 0
Single 1

Bush Heritage in London
Learn about the connection between Australia and London during a talk with Dr Jody Gunn and Chris Darwin.
Are you interested in London, heritage and Australian wildlife?
This Thursday, 25 May 2017, Australian Executive Manager of Bush Heritage Australia, Dr Jody Gunn, will be meeting with Chris Darwin—the great-great grandson of Charles Darwin - at the Royal Geographical Society in London (with the Institute of British Geographers), the UK's learned society and professional body for geography, founded in 1830.
Jody and Chris tell an against-all-odds story of how Bush Heritage created a network of Australian conservation reserves the size of Southern England. The talk will also include a curated display of historical Australian artefacts from the RGS-IBG Collection including rare maps, journals and photographs.
The work of Bush Heritage is enormously impressive and it's wonderful to see it promoted in London. This national non-profit organisation conserves biodiversity and protects Australian native plants and animals by buying and managing land of outstanding conservation value and by working in partnership with others to help them manage and protect their land. Bush Heritage Australia currently owns and manages 33 reserves throughout Australia, covering over 10,000 square kilometres.
You can book tickets via Eventbrite: _URL_ But be quick, ticket sales close on 22nd May.
Talks will take place in the Ondaatje Theatre, where names of notable travellers and explorers line the walls. A specially curated display of items from the Society's Collections related to Australia will be on display in the Foyle Reading Room for guests to enjoy during the evening.
The event also includes complimentary drink and canapés which will be served in the Map Room, an inspirational room dating from the 1930s containing fine examples of the two-million strong collection at the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).
The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG)
The Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) is one of the world's foremost geographical societies. The Society has developed a reputation for informed travel-themed events which appeal to a broad demographic inspired by the world around them. In addition to its growing membership of over 16,500 individuals and organisational members, the Society also attracts a wider public audience whose passion for people and places draws them to attend exhibitions, lectures, talks, seminars and other travel-related events.
As the 'home of geography' the Society also excels in providing networking opportunities for travel professionals: from tour operators to tourism board representatives and their UK-based Embassy and High Commission colleagues. The state-of-the-art facilities combine modern comfort and convenience with striking historical fine rooms, suitable for invited-guest and public audiences in the heart of South Kensington.
The combination of activities, history, networks and location makes the Society unique. It's history is associated with iconic moments and those individuals who pushed at both intellectual and physical limits – Darwin, Livingstone, Scott, Wilfred Thesiger, to name a few. Today the challenge is not about where things are on the map or who got there first, but rather explaining how the world works and why.
