Reporter: Darby Felton (darby) Assignee: Darby Felton (darby) Tags: - Zend_Service_Technorati
Related issues: Attachments: - Zend_Service_Technorati_AllTests.out
Once unit testing for each file of the component reaches 80% LOC coverage and there exists satisfactory DocBook documentation for the APIs, the Zend_Service_Technorati component needs to be promoted to core (i.e., moved to trunk with unit tests and documentation integrated).
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2007-12-23T19:32:34.000+0000
r7247 includes 100% of Technorati API support and 90% of unit tests.
Next step is to reach 99% of unit tests. It shouldn't be hard, all classes have been stressed by custom tests thus I only need to validate them, no more changes should be required.
Before starting the documentation it would be great to receive an overall feedback about the final product. :)

@ Darby
With r7263, I feel the library is ready. I've included 99% of unit tests and full documentation.
What do you think? :)

Great! I'll review this today and post again here. Thanks for these contributions! :)

Sorry, Simone, for the delay in getting back with you... I haven't forgotten! :) I plan to take a look first thing tomorrow and post again here.

I'm going to investigate the error. First I'll upgrade my phpunit installation, I see you have 3.2.8.
I'll be back in a moment...

I've just committed an update, it should be fixed now. Could you please let me know your PHP version?

Mmm, this should be a problem.
The PHP version I noted above as 5.1.4.
Yes, I saw the version when the message was already posted and I haven't permission to edit my comments.
About the error, this is a strange behavior:

public function testConstructThrowsExceptionWithInvalidDom()
try {
$object = new Zend_Service_Technorati_Author('foo');
$this->fail('Expected Zend_Service_Technorati_Exception not thrown');
} catch (Exception $e) {
$this->assertContains("DOMElement", $e->getMessage());
As you can see, I test whether the method returns an exception if the constructor is called with an invalid argument. The error should be catched by try/catch block, and in fact it is in my environment.
Do you have an idea why PHP 5.1.4 isn't aware of try/catch block here?
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2007-12-28T09:33:33.000+0000
I haven't pored over the code yet, but it seems that this fatal error is not the result of an uncaught exception. Instead, a failure to meet a type hint in PHP < 5.2.0, I believe, results in a non-catchable fatal error.
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2007-12-28T09:40:39.000+0000
The only alternative I can see right now is to skip all these tests whether PHP < 5.2.0. This one is not the only test passing an invalid constructor but almost each class is tested against an invalid call.
What do you think?
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2007-12-28T09:44:52.000+0000
Yes, this is what was done with other unit tests of the same type (e.g., see Zend_Db_Adapter_StaticTest and look for PHP_VERSION).
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2007-12-28T09:59:28.000+0000
Now that I look into it more, it seems that I have based my assertion that type hinting failure results in non-catchable fatal errors on another person's incomplete work. I recommend that if you want to test failure to satisfy a type hint, try using a custom error handler.
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2007-12-28T10:16:43.000+0000
Okay, maybe I should not have second-guessed myself. :) Or am I now doubting my doubts? ;) I ran the following script on my machine:

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
function errorHandler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline, $errcontext)
echo 'errorHandler() called';
throw new Exception($errstr, $errno);
function foo(stdClass $obj)
echo 'foo';
try {
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Caught exception';
Fatal error: Argument 1 passed to foo() must be an object of class stdClass, called in C:\wamp\www\test.php on line 19 and defined in C:\wamp\www\test.php on line 13
I'm pretty sure that this means that at least on my machine running 5.1.4, the failure to meet the type hint does not result in a catchable fatal error.
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2007-12-28T10:19:19.000+0000
I've just updated unit tests. Now "invalid argument" tests are skipped if PHP < 5.2.0.
I'm going to install and configure PHP 5.1.4 in the next few days to be able to develop with this specific release.
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2007-12-28T12:13:59.000+0000
I get very good LOC coverage percentages from the unit tests, though I see the following anomalies under library/Zend/Service/Technorati:
|ResultSet.php|52.85%| |TagsResultSet.php|66.67%| |Utils.php|61.11%|
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2007-12-28T13:08:49.000+0000
I've just installed xdebug and run the test coverage report.
Utils.php includes 3 methods defined but never implemented, this is the reason. They are utility methods useful for DRY development, perhaps I have to comment them for now.
ResultSet.php is not a class intended to be used alone, as Result.php. It should be tested directly from parent classes, hovewer I'm going to have a look at it.
TagsResultSet.php has 2 methods, one is the constructor. The second method is missing a test method, this is why the class has about 50% of code coverage.
I'm going to fix missing tests in the next hours. Any other overall feedback? :)
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2007-12-28T13:55:02.000+0000
Should Zend_Service_Technorati_ResultSet be designated as abstract, since the documentation states:
bq. ...it should never be used to initialize a standalone object
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2007-12-28T13:58:15.000+0000
...same with Zend_Service_Technorati_Result.

{quote} Utils.php includes 3 methods defined but never implemented, this is the reason. They are utility methods useful for DRY development, perhaps I have to comment them for now. {quote}
There are a couple other solutions to consider for these methods:
I think that I would prefer the first approach over the second.

Oops, a correction to my previous comment:
-phpdoc tags- +PHPUnit annotations+
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2007-12-28T16:03:07.000+0000
I collected all your feedbacks and committed an update. I updated the manual to reflect some public changes (I forgot to remove a public property from ResultSet class).
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2007-12-31T14:08:14.000+0000
I just committed some small changes in SVN r7318 to get the code coverage of the Utils class above 80%. I notice there are quite a few things marked "@todo" in the sources...
Under library/:

./Technorati/CosmosResult.php: * @todo Each field needs to be filtered and converted
./Technorati/CosmosResult.php: * @todo filter as Zend_Uri_Http
./Technorati/CosmosResult.php: * @todo Zend_Date
./Technorati/CosmosResult.php: * @todo Zend_Uri_Http
./Technorati/CosmosResultSet.php: // @todo Improve xpath expressions
./Technorati/DailyCountsResultSet.php: // @todo Improve xpath expressions
./Technorati/KeyInfoResult.php: /** @todo improve xpath expression */
./Technorati/Result.php: * @todo XPath and DOM elements cannot be serialized, don't cache them
./Technorati/ResultSet.php: * @todo
./Technorati/ResultSet.php: * @todo XPath and DOM elements cannot be serialized, don't cache them
./Technorati/ResultSet.php: * @todo XPath and DOM elements cannot be serialized, don't cache them

./Technorati/TagResult.php: * @todo Zend_Uri_Http
./Technorati/TagResult.php: * @todo Each field needs to be filtered and converted
./Technorati/TagResultSet.php: // @todo Improve xpath expressions
./Technorati/TagResultSet.php: /** @todo Validate the following assertion */
./Technorati/Utils.php: * @todo Should this method return a value or set the value?
./Technorati/Utils.php: * @todo public static function xpathQueryAndSet() {}
./Technorati/Utils.php: * @todo public static function xpathQueryAndSetIf() {}
./Technorati/Utils.php: * @todo public static function xpathQueryAndSetUnless() {}
./Technorati/Weblog.php: * @todo Zend_Date
./Technorati.php: * @todo support for Zend_Uri_Http
Under tests/:

./Technorati/SearchResultTest.php: // @todo Zend_Uri_Http
./Technorati/SearchResultTest.php: // @todo Zend_Date
./Technorati/TagResultTest.php: // @todo Zend_Uri_Http
./Technorati/TagResultTest.php: // @todo Zend_Date
./Technorati/TechnoratiTest.php: * @todo validate converted value
./Technorati/WeblogTest.php: * @todo lat, lon, hasphoto
I think these should be reduced to only those "@todos" that cannot reasonably be addressed prior to promotion and release.
If some of the issues are large enough to be worth documenting, perhaps for these you can create sub-tasks or new issues on which this one would depend?
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2008-01-01T08:39:38.000+0000
Hi Darby, happy new Year! ;)
I saw your changes and I agree with all of them except one I'd like to ask you for more details. Here you removed the second piece of code with the explanation
{quote} * removed code impossible to execute from setUriHttp() method {quote}
This is true right now, but according to Shahar's Zend_Uri improvements proposal Zend_Uri is going to support additional schemas. Even if this is just a proposal, is reasonable to suppose that the future of Zend_Uri is open to new schemas thus the second check was created to be sure the result of
is a valid instance of a Zend\_Uri\_Http and not, for example, Zend\_Uri\_Mailto. Unit tests are good enough to point out the error as soon as Zend\_Uri will support more protocols, but restoring the control will prevent a 'last minute fix'. What do you think?
About @todos you are right, there's an high number of @todo but just because I usually first develop the basic feature and I like to add notes to remember the feature might be improved in a second time. I mean, @todos don't mean the code doesn't work, only it could have a better interaction with the environment (for example, @todo Zend\_Uri\_Http). ;)
I'm going to review the code addressing first all todos that may fit the classification 'should have', then I will create a new issue for any 'nice to have' as I did, for example, for ZF-2350.
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2008-01-01T11:41:16.000+0000
Darby, I've cleared/fixed all reasonable @todos, added more unit tests focused on SeekableIterator interface.
Just a final question: should Zend\_Service\_Technorati\_ResultSet#getXML() be renamed to Zend\_Service\_Technorati\_ResultSet#getXml(), isn't it?
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2008-01-02T15:34:46.000+0000
bq. I saw your changes and I agree with all of them except one I'd like to ask you for more details. [Here](http://framework.zend.com/fisheye/browse/Zend_Framework/trunk/incubator/library/Zend/Service/Technorati/Utils.php?r1=7294&r2=7318) you removed the second piece of code...
Oops, I had in mind that the check was against Zend\_Uri and not Zend\_Uri\_Http. Sorry I misunderstood. Please feel free to resurrect that section of code, or if you'd like, I can do it. :)
bq. I've cleared/fixed all reasonable @todos, added more unit tests focused on SeekableIterator interface.
Awesome; thanks! :)
bq. Just a final question: should Zend\_Service\_Technorati\_ResultSet#getXML() be renamed to Zend\_Service\_Technorati\_ResultSet#getXml(), isn't it?
Yes, it should be getXml() according to the naming conventions in the coding standards.
I'll perform what I hope might be a final review as soon as possible. I also suggest contacting the fw-webservices mailing list (and forwarding to fw-general, perhaps) to give the code a whirl to test it and provide feedback, to catch any lingering API issues, etc. that should be addressed prior to release with the framework core.

Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2008-01-30T02:29:29.000+0000
Gasp, I'm absolutely shocked by the output. It seems something goes wrong with Zend\_Date, I will investigate.
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2008-01-30T02:52:36.000+0000
Hi Darby, I investigated the issue and, as I supposed, it's related to Zend\_Date. It seems Zend\_Date no longer recognizes valid dates (ZF-2524).
I'm waiting for a Thomas's answer to check what is the origin of the issue. The last time I run the suite (02/Jan/08), all tests passed without any problem.
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2008-01-30T13:28:27.000+0000
Yes, it seems as though something has changed with Zend\_Date, as I have never seen such errors in the Zend\_Service\_Technorati tests until now.
Probably it would be a simple matter to provide the date format, as Thomas suggests, to get the tests passing again.
I am concerned, however, that there has been a backward compatibility break with Zend\_Date, inasmuch as people have been depending on certain behavior that is now broken. :( That said, perhaps it is not a backward compatibility break in the sense that perhaps the usage within Zend\_Service\_Technorati was broken, non-standard, not documented, or otherwise unsupported behavior. Thomas could probably shed some light on this. All things considered, I don't really understand why Zend\_Date::isDate() cannot grok the same date value that new Zend\_Date() supports. Strange, indeed.
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2008-01-30T16:15:24.000+0000
I found the guilty, the change that broke BC compatibility (at least in Zend\_Service\_Technorati case). I'm waiting for Thomas answer.
It would be hard to provide date format because Technorati is not so coherent! You should consider that they created an own DTD but the most part of API XML responses is invalid against their own DTD!
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2008-02-01T04:35:49.000+0000
I fixed the issue with r7751 using strtotime to validate the input.
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2008-02-01T10:21:34.000+0000
Hi Simone,
It looks as though Zend\_Service\_Technorati is ready to be moved to core. Are you aware of anything that should be done beforehand?
Would you like to migrate the component, or would you like me to do it on your behalf?
Thanks for these excellent contributions! :)
Posted by Simone Carletti (weppos) on 2008-02-01T10:30:24.000+0000
Hi Darby, according to official documentation only a core contributor could promote a component to core this is why I never moved a single bit. ;)
By the way, if you want I can move it and left you free for other activities. I suppose I only need to \* svn move incubator/library incubator/test to /library /test \* promote documentation \* update docbook single files and main index. I guess there's nothing more to do, isn't it?
Posted by Darby Felton (darby) on 2008-02-01T11:32:43.000+0000
Sorry, Simone, I didn't realize that it was documented that only a Zender could perform the actual promotion. I have confidence that you would have no problem doing it, but in the interest of following the rules, I'll go ahead and make promote it today as soon as possible. :)
Thanks again!

Dorner and his training officer were called to the well-manicured hotel because a scruffy, angry, mentally ill man would not leave. Together, the Harbor Division officers grappled with the man in a bush until he was shot with a Taser gun and submitted. But the pair differed in their versions of what happened that morning.
The discrepancy became an obsession for Dorner, who claimed his training officer brutally and unnecessarily kicked the man in the collarbone and face. His intense feelings about that incident are the core of the lengthy, stream-of-consciousness manifesto he wrote to explain why he embarked on a killing spree - complete with a 40-person hit list.

In the 14-page manifesto (written in the parlance of a police report), Dorner directly addresses "America," and describes himself as a heroic figure rendered helpless by a series of racist attacks that began when he was a first-grade student at Norwalk Christian School in Norwalk, when another student called him a racial slur.
The school closed down Thursday during the massive manhunt for Dorner. The disgraced former officer wrote that the first of a series of injustices that defined his life happened at the Norwalk school, where he says he was the only "black kid." He said he was repeatedly disciplined for fighting throughout elementary school, but it was only because he was responding to racist name-calling.
"A fellow student called me a (racial epithet)," he wrote of his first fight. "My response was swift and non-lethal. I struck him fast and hard with a punch an (sic) kick. He then for some unknown reason swatted me for striking (the student). How dare you swat me for standing up for my rights for demanding that I be treated as an equal human being. That day I made a life decision that I will not tolerate racial derogatory terms spoken to me."

-- Staff and wire reports
Though Dorner saw himself as a victim with a superior level of integrity, his police supervisors believed he was bullying fellow officers, according to official documents.
After the incident outside the DoubleTree in 2008, Dorner's accusation against his training officer was proved false. In a series of hearings, hotel bellhops and officers testified that the man taken into custody had not been kicked. Dorner was terminated for falsifying that police report.
The firing fed Dorner's long-festering anger at a society that he describes as racist and brutal in its treatment of him throughout his life. As for his own character, Dorner says "honor, courage, and commitment" are traits embedded in his DNA.
On Sunday, Dorner allegedly killed the daughter of a police captain who represented Dorner in the hearing over the DoubleTree incident as well as her fiance. On Thursday, he killed a Riverside police officer and wounded two other officers.
His violent spree is in direct contradiction to the man who at least one friend called "well-spoken, educated, rational," and who can be seen smiling widely in numerous online photos.
On his online Facebook page, Dorner says he is from La Palma, and his manifesto lists a series of cities where he has lived, including Cerritos, Pico Rivera, Thousand Oaks, Yorba Linda as well as towns in Utah, Florida, Nevada and Oklahoma.
Sports Illustrated's online college football roster archive lists Dorner as a running back at Southern Utah University from 1999 to 2000.
He also briefly attended California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks for one semester, in fall 1997, university spokeswoman Karin Grennan confirmed.
Grennan, however, had few details about Dorner's attendance other than to say that he completed the semester. She added that while reports were that Dorner may have tried out for the university's football team, "it looks like he quit" before the first game of the season.
Southern Utah University spokesman Dean O'Driscoll confirmed Thursday that Dorner attended the university from 1997 to 2001, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in political science and a minor in psychology.

Dorner joined the U.S. Navy in 2002, achieving the rank of lieutenant in 2006, according to military records. He served as a reservist in Nevada and San Diego, and was a member of the Coastal Riverine Group deployed to Bahrain from November 2006 to April 2007. He was stationed at the Navy Mobilization Processing Site in San Diego in 2007 and the Navy Air Station Fallon reserve unit in Nevada in 2009. He left Navy service officially on Feb. 1.
During his service, he was awarded the Iraqi Campaign Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Rifle Marksman Ribbon, Pistol Expert Medal, among other commendations.
Long Beach police Sgt. Clint Grimes said Thursday he was stunned when heard Dorner's name on the radio and realized he and Dorner had served in the Navy together.
"I was laying down (at home) and taking a nap and listening to KFI and that name was like a worm going into my ear," Grimes said. "When they said `Point Loma,' that's when it hit me. ... I pulled up his picture and that's when I knew it was him for sure."
The two men had overlapping deployments to Kuwait in 2007.
Though they were not close friends, Grimes said he remembered Dorner was excited when he first joined the Los Angeles Police Department and frequently talked to Grimes about his dreams and aspirations as a new police officer.
"I never knew him not to be smiling," he said.
Grimes said Dorner is very bright. Dorner's unit used high-tech sonar equipment to find small boats that could be a threat to naval vessels in port.
"They're not looking for a stupid guy, here," Grimes said.
Dorner was also accustomed to military structure, and would insist on following protocol at all times.
"I would say, `Call me Clint,' and he would say, `Yes sir.'"
Dorner graduated from the Los Angeles Police Academy in 2006 and joined LAPD, but left for a 13-month military deployment that year. He returned to the LAPD in July 2007. That year, his wife filed for divorce, according to court records. The following year, he lost his job.
A Los Angeles police officer who knew Dorner when he was with Harbor Division for a year in 2009 called on him to turn himself in.
"He needs to turn himself in and end this drama," he said.
The officer, who asked that his name not be used, said: "Obviously he's suffering from a mental illness. This is a terrible incident that he's caused."
Dorner was far from a meathead despite being a football player and a memorable college buddy, said James Usera of his fellow Southern Utah University Thunderbird.
"He was well-spoken, educated, rational. I didn't think he was moody or showed anything that would indicate he had mental health issues," Usera said. "My friendship with Mr. Dorner was extremely positive."
Usera, now a lawyer in Salem, Ore., spent all day Thursday recalling his two-year friendship with Dorner.
A self-proclaimed "white boy" from Alaska, Usera befriended Dorner on the football field in rural Utah in the spring of 1999 on the Thunderbirds scout team.
"I was a fullback he was a tailback and we had a lot of fun doing that," Usera said. "We got a lot of compliments from coaches being hard workers."
And "hard worker" was certainly one of the phrases that described the Christopher Dorner he knew more than a decade ago, Usera said.
In 2008, Usera recalls a phone call from Dorner "out of the blue" that lasted about 15 minutes. The call didn't seem odd, despite being the first time he'd heard from Dorner in seven years.
Usera said that while they both vented about work, Dorner didn't call for legal advice or even hint at any major issues with LAPD.
"He did mention some employee grievances he had with the LAPD, and obviously seemed concerned about the employment issue, but maybe `concerned' is too strong of a word because it just sounded like typical stress from his job," Usera said.
Usera was described by Dorner as "the most cynical/blatant/politically incorrect friend a man can have" who "never sugarcoated the truth." In his 114-word rant to Usera, he ended with: "I love you bro."
But Usera was just one of the people Dorner specifically named in his more than 11,000-word manifesto that lamented on his three-year career with the LAPD and the corruption and racism he believed permeated the organization.
"Mr. Dorner was from Southern California and I was from Alaska, so being at SUU, which is set in a rural, predominantly white Mormon town, one of the things that connected us was our shock to the social demographics of the place," Usera said. "It was different to what we were used to and so we could relate to each other."
Usera recalled Dorner complaining about instances of discrimination, but nothing that alarmed Usera during their college years.
"He is a person who believed that racism is alive and well in the United States, not just in Utah," Usera said, "but while it is something he mentioned on some occasions, I never saw him get irate about it."
Usera said that while he knows people are trying to pinpoint exactly what turned Dorner into a suspected killer, he can't help with that.
"People are looking for predictors, but I just never recognized anything that would indicate he was unstable in any fashion," Usera said. "He seemed normal, and I know that's not a great descriptor, but that was who he was to me."
Usera said Thursday afternoon that he hadn't read Dorner's manifesto in full but from what he's been told by reporters it is all shocking.
"It seems very out of character. The individual I knew was a good guy and was upstanding," he said.
Staff writers Donna Littlejohn, Larry Altman and Kelsey Duckett contributed to this report.

Project Spotlight
This weeks spotlight is on the continuing Bug Verification project... and here with more is our embedded reporter Limmiegirl:
Bug Verification Project
The bugs sections of pages have aways been notoriously problematic, ripe with all sorts of nonsense bugs, vague reports and, more frequently, reports about bugs that are just too common to be notable. Another frequent problem is how most people don't know the proper guidelines and formatting when reporting a bug, which leads often to messy and confuse sections.
The goal of the BVP is to clean up and standardize the bugs sections. The basic guideline is that all bugs must have either the pc ps3 xbox360 ( {{platforms|pc|PS3|Xbox360}} ) tag before them (saying the bug has been confirmed in those platforms), or the needs verification ( {{verify|~~~~~}} ) tag after (marking the bug to be verified by somebody else apart from the user who first reported). The first should be added by the person confirming/verifying (not reporting, that's an important point!) the bug, the other by the person first reporting it (or by whoever stumbles upon a bug without the platform confirmation tag).
Also of important is that some bugs aren't notable and shouldn't be in the articles. Clipping bugs are never notable as they're just too common and happen way too often. And generally neither are bugs regarding freezing/crashing, since they're due to overheating or memory overwriting, which are due to the specific circumstances of the user's machine.
There's still a long way to go, but thanks to everyone who has been helping the project now problematic bug sections are already a rare sight. :D
Thanks Limmie, if you want to help, you can join the project here.
NMA talks about Fallout: A Gurps Adventure
NMA has been talking about Russian Fallout's find of some design documents for Fallout: A GURPS Role Playing Game; for those of you playing at home before we had the [SPECIAL] system, the original plan was to use GURPS from Steve Jackson Games. Reasons for the change seem to differ as to which side you listen to - both sides seem to blame each other - but the snippets No Mutants Allowed quote show some of the things some would say are the essence of Fallout showing through at an early stage:
- 4. The players actions affect the world (and the world reacts to the player)
- The game will notice what the player does and respond accordingly. If the player shoots up people in a tavern, the other patrons will notice. If the player seems badass, then the patrons will leave him alone and go on their way. If the player looks like a wimp, the patrons could take him on. As the player gains a reputation, NPCs will notice – moving out of the way, or going out of their way to kill the player.
- Once again, we want the player to get involved with what is happening within the game. If the player feels like he is making a difference, then he will want to play more – even if it is just to see how he can change the game world
- 12. Detailed character creation rules and premade characters (more choices, imagine that from a role-playing game)
- The player can choose between detailed rules for making his character (like buying attributes, skills, advantages and selecting disadvantages to get more points) or he can choose from a set of three characters that we will make.
The premade characters will be detailed, and will embody the three types of players: combat, stealth and diplomacy boy. This will let some players nitpick their characters to death, or jump right into the action. As the player gains experience, he can improve his character's skills and attributes. This will let the player change his character during play. Detailed character creation is important to many role-playing games, and it is certainly important to GURPS. Letting the player fine turn his own character will get the player more involved in the character, and thus the game.
- 13. We are making this for the public, but we'll make the GURPS players happy (it gets pretty ugly when they get too happy, you need a lot of paper towels)
- GURPS Fallout will be a GURPS title, using the GURPS rules. But first and foremost, it will be a fun role-playing game. It will just happen to have enough GURPS material to make the GURPSers happy. We must keep this in mind. The game comes first.
- GURPS gives us:
- • detailed tactical combat (turn-based but not slow)
- • realistic NPC reactions and reaction based skills
- • complex characters that are very life like (with faults and advantages)
- • non-combat skills that are useful
- • balanced encounters
- • a core following of dedicated players

Missionary and military families returning to the United States often feel overwhelmed. For many, especially children, their home country is the one in which they have spent the least amount of time. For others, their country is not the same as when they left.
To assist these families in reintegrating into the United States, Oklahoma Christian University is hosting Global Reunion 2012 from July 25 to July 29.
The camp is for those aged 13 and older. Directors Kent and Nancy Hartman, missionaries-in-residence at OC, give tools and resources to families that have lived outside the United States and are now seeking to reenter U.S. culture. The Hartmans spent more than 10 years as missionaries in Australia and were surprised by the challenges of reintegrating their family into America.
"For many military and missionary families, the children have lived their entire lives in a country other than the United States," Kent Hartman said. "These children, commonly known as Third Culture Kids or TCKs, are not really reentering this country. Rather, they are entering a culture that may be home to mom and dad, but is actually unknown to the kids in many ways. TCKs have American parents, look and sound like Americans and are expected to know and understand an American culture that is foreign to them."
The camp helps families make the journey from one culture to another, and it seeks to help them understand the challenges they will face. There are more than 70 participants from 20 countries in Global Reunion 2012, which is in its seventh year.
In addition to Oklahoma Christian, Global Reunion is co-hosted by InterMission, a group of former missionaries committed to supporting missionaries. InterMission was co-founded by the Hartmans and Memorial Road church of Christ. There is also an army of volunteers from local churches who provide meals for the campers.
According to Hartman, Global Reunion is the only camp of its kind in the world that combines classes for college-age and teen TCKs that also has classes for parents. It is also the only camp of its kind among churches of Christ.
"Global Reunion has put Oklahoma Christian on the map in missionary and military circles around the world," he said. "We are often referred to in those circles as 'the university that cares about missionary and military families' and the place to send TCKs when they reach university age."

Sony's handheld system has been faced with slow sales and analysts calling for a price drop. As we approach the system's first birthday in the US, Sony CEO Kaz Hirai has acknowledged that it's not exactly setting the world ablaze.
Reporting from CES, The Wall Street Journal (via Eurogamer) grilled Hirai. Regarding Vita sales, he said: "I would say it's on the low end of what we expected." But, he cautioned that he would wait 5-10 years to gauge a product's success, saying, "Long term is what is important," pointing out that similar doubts were placed around the now-successful PS3.
Regarding his handheld competition, Hirai also shrugged off Nvidia's Project Shield, an Android-based console with a built-in controller that also made its debut at CES. "I wasn't as surprised as you might think," Hirai said, according to PC World. "If you look back through the pages of history, there have been other attempts. It's difficult to break into. I've managed this industry, so I know."

Throughout the past 12 months, construction accomplishments on the Berryessa Extension Project include: demolition and site preparation at station areas in Milpitas and San Jose; realignment and restoration of the Upper Penitencia Creek at the future Berryessa Station; relocation of major utilities all along the 10-mile project corridor and in the station areas; the commencement of station roadway and bridge construction; early support work for the elevated track structure at the Berryessa Station site; completion of the BART bridge over Kato Road and all but finishing touches on the Kato Road grade separation.
Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA), said, "The BART Silicon Valley Berryessa Extension Project is a shining example of how vision and determination in a community can have immense impact. After a year of construction on this new public transportation option that is creating jobs, spurring the economy and will soon connect Alameda and Santa Clara County, we continue to say 'thank you' to the residents who voted to fund this important project."
The Kato Road Grade Separation Project is the first of 11 grade separations needed to complete the 10-mile BART extension into Santa Clara County. Separating the BART system from automobiles, pedestrians and freight, enhances safety and contributes to the efficiency of BART service.
The remaining finishing work on the Kato Road project includes the installation of safety railings, landscape and irrigation and removal of traffic mitigation measures in nearby intersections. Final project completion is set for early summer 2013.
Construction activities in the second year of construction includes: continuing construction on Mission Boulevard and Warren Avenue in Fremont; utility relocations throughout the project corridor; trenching under Montague Expressway, Capitol Avenue and Dixon landing in Milpitas and Hostetter Road in San Jose and building the elevated structure for the BART tracks in San Jose.

How Drug-Resistant Bacteria Travel from the Farm to Your Table
Key Excerpts from Article on Website of Scientific American
How Drug-Resistant Bacteria Travel from the Farm to Your Table
Scientific American, December 1, 2016
Posted: 2017-06-26 00:17:05
Antibiotic resistance is a problem both for people and for livestock. But how can we be sure that the two are connected and that resistance is exacerbated by on-farm antibiotic use? In 1975 the Animal Health Institute asked this very question and recruited Tufts University biologist Stuart Levy to find out. Levy and his colleagues fed low doses of the antibiotic tetracycline to a group of 150 chickens. Within a week, almost all the E. coli bacteria in their intestines were tetracycline-resistant. Three months in ... the chickens were also resistant to four other types of antibiotics. After four months, the ... chickens on the farm that had not been fed tetracycline also harbored resistance to the drug. In 1977, soon after Levy's study was published, the FDA announced that it was considering banning several antibiotics from animal feed over safety concerns. In the 39 years since, the industry has fought hard against these plans by arguing there was no definitive proof of harm. These arguments ultimately caused the FDA to [pursue] voluntary guidances instead. Several members of the U.S. Congress, including New York State Representative and microbiologist Louise Slaughter, have introduced bills to more tightly regulate antibiotic use on farms. Slaughter has pushed for her Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act for more than a decade. It has been supported by 454 organizations, including the American Medical Association. But ... the bill never reaches a vote.

U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
2001-05-01, ABC News
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's ... Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba. Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof … that the fault lies with the Communists." The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after.

Former U.S. Air Force Officers Recount Experiences With UFOs at Nuclear Missile Bases
2010-10-27, ABC News
The U.S. government's official line may be that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) don't pose a national security threat, but a group of former Air Force officers gathered Monday in the nation's capital to tell a different story. During a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., seven former Air Force officers once stationed at nuclear bases around the country said that not only have UFOs visited Air Force bases, some have succeeded in disabling nuclear missiles stationed there. "I want the government to acknowledge that this phenomenon exists," said Robert Salas, a former U.S. Air Force Nuclear Launch Officer. Salas said he doesn't think the UFOs he claims to have encountered had any offensive intent, but he believes they wanted to leave an impression. "They wanted to shine a light on our nuclear weapons and just send us a message," he said. "My interpretation is the message is get rid of them because it's going to mean our destruction." Other former officers recounted similar stories of unexplained moving lights and odd-shaped flying objects during their time in the service. Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist and author of the new book "UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record," said thousands of pages of documentation support the officers' accounts. She spent the last 10 years researching UFOs and combing through thousands of pages of declassified government material. Kean said that one declassified document that she researched for her book, relating to the Salas incident, said, "the fact that no apparent reason for the loss of the 10 missiles can easily be identified is a cause for grave concern to this headquarters."
Note: Watch CNN coverage of this most fascinating testimony. This is not the first time government and military witnesses have testified at the National Press Club about a major cover-up of UFOs. Watch 22 witnesses testifying to remarkable personal stories in May 2001. A two-page written summary presents amazing UFO testimony from top officials.

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group
2005-09-29, BBC News
How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on government policies and international relations? One group, the Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy global government. Every year since 1954 [they have brought] together about 120 leading business people and politicians. At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi ... editors from five major newspapers, members of parliament, ministers, European commissioners ... and the queen of the Netherlands. The chairman ... is 73-year-old Viscount Etienne Davignon. In an extremely rare interview, he played down the importance of Bilderberg. "I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists." Will Hutton ... who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls "the international common sense". And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg's main participants. For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed. Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century.
Note: Why is this meeting of top world leaders kept so secret? Why, until a few years ago, was there virtually no reporting on this influential group in the major media? Thankfully, the alternative media has had some good articles. And a Google search can be highly informative. Explore many other revealing major media news articles on powerful secret societies. And for those interested, check out reliable, eye-opening information covering the big picture of how and why these secret societies are using government-sponsored mind control programs to achieve their agenda.
The above three are excerpts from the 20 most revealing news articles ever published.

What is Project Maven? Google Urged to Abandon U.S. Military Drone Program
2018-05-15, Newsweek
Hundreds of academics have urged Google to abandon its work on a U.S. Department of Defense-led drone program codenamed "Project Maven". An open letter calling for change was published Monday by the International Committee for Robot Arms Control (ICRAC). The project is formally known as the Algorithmic Warfare Cross-Functional Team. Its objective is "to turn the enormous volume of data available to DoD into actionable intelligence". More than 3,000 Google staffers signed a petition in April in protest at the company's focus on warfare. "We believe that Google should not be in the business of war," it read. "Therefore we ask that Project Maven be cancelled." The ICRAC warned this week the project could potentially be mixed with general user data and exploited to aid "targeted killing." Currently, its letter has nearly 500 signatures. It stated: "We are ... deeply concerned about the possible integration of Google's data on people's everyday lives with military surveillance data, and its combined application to targeted killing ... Google has moved into military work without subjecting itself to public debate or deliberation. While Google regularly decides the future of technology without democratic public engagement, its entry into military technologies casts the problems of private control of information infrastructure into high relief." Lieutenant Colonel Garry Floyd, deputy chief of the Algorithmic Warfare Cross Functional Team, said ... earlier this month that Maven was already active in "five or six" combat locations.

Google employees quit over controversial Pentagon work
2018-05-14, New York Post
There's something eating at Google employees. Roughly one dozen employees of the search giant have resigned in the wake of reports that the ... company is providing artificial intelligence to the Pentagon. The employees resigned because of ethical concerns over the company's work with the Defense Department that includes helping the military speed up analysis of drone footage by automatically classifying images of objects and people, Gizmodo reported. Many of the employees who quit have written accounts of their decisions to leave the company. Their stories have been gathered and shared in an internal document. Google is helping the DoD's Project Maven "implement machine learning to classify images gathered by drones," according to the report. "Some employees believe humans, not algorithms, should be responsible for this sensitive and potentially lethal work - and that Google shouldn't be involved in military work at all." The 12 resignations are the first known mass resignations at Google in protest against one of the company's business decisions - and they speak to the strongly felt ethical concerns of the employees who are departing. In addition to the resignations, nearly 4,000 Google employees have voiced their opposition to Project Maven in an internal petition that asks Google to immediately cancel the contract and institute a policy against taking on future military work.
Note: You can read the full employee petition on this webpage. An open letter in support of google employees and tech workers was signed by more than 90 academics in artificial intelligence, ethics, and computer science. The New York Times also published a good article on this. For more along these lines, see concise summaries of deeply revealing news articles on corporate corruption and war
Employers are monitoring computers, toilet breaks – even emotions. Is your boss watching you?
2018-05-14, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
Last year an American company microchipped dozens of its workers. Of the 90 people who work at [Three Square Market] headquarters, 72 are now chipped. Two months ago, the company ... started chipping people with dementia. If someone wanders off and gets lost, police can scan the chip "and they will know all their medical information, what drugs they can and can't have, they'll know their identity." So far, Three Square Market has chipped 100 people, but plans to do 10,000. The company has just launched a mobile phone app that pairs the chip with the phone's GPS, enabling the implantee's location to be tracked. Last week, it started using it with people released from prison on probation. Some Chinese companies are using sensors in helmets and hats to scan workers' brainwaves. There are tech companies selling products that can ... monitor keystrokes and web usage, and even photograph [employees] using their computers' webcams. All this can be done remotely. Monitoring is built into many of the jobs that form the so-called "gig economy". It's not easy to object to the constant surveillance when you're desperate for work. What has surprised [Cass Business School professor André Spicer] is how willingly people in better-paid jobs have taken to it. Spicer has watched the shift away from "monitoring something like emails to monitoring people's bodies – the rise of bio-tracking basically. The monitoring of your vital signs, emotions, moods."
Note: Author James Bloodworth describes the high tech monitoring of workers at Amazon warehouses in his new book, "Hired: Six Months Undercover in Low-Wage Britain".
