Efficient scheduling of scientific workflows in a high performance computing cluster
Scientific workflow system
A Scientific Workflow Systems is a specialized form of a workflow management system designed specifically to compose and execute a series of computational or data manipulation steps, or a workflow, in a scientific application. A specialized form of scientific workflow systems are bioinformatics workflow management systems which focus on a specific domain of science, bioinformatics.

Computer cluster
A computer cluster consists of a set of loosely connected computers that work together so that in many respects they can be viewed as a single system. The components of a cluster are usually connected to each other through fast local area networks, each node (computer used as a server) running its own instance of an operating system.

Scheduling (computing)
In computer science, scheduling is the method by which threads, processes or data flows are given access to system resources (e.g. processor time, communications bandwidth). This is usually done to load balance a system effectively or achieve a target quality of service. The need for a scheduling algorithm arises from the requirement for most modern systems to perform multitasking (execute more than one process at a time) and multiplexing (transmit multiple flows simultaneously).

Economic efficiency
In economics, the term economic efficiency refers to the use of resources so as to maximize the production of goods and services. An economic system is said to be more efficient than another (in relative terms) if it can provide more goods and services for society without using more resources. In absolute terms, a situation can be called economically efficient if: No one can be made better off without making someone else worse off (commonly referred to as Pareto efficiency).

Microsoft SQL Server
Microsoft SQL Server is a relational database server, developed by Microsoft: it is a software product whose primary function is to store and retrieve data as requested by other software applications, be it those on the same computer or those running on another computer across a network (including the Internet).
more from Wikipedia
E-Science (or eScience) is computationally intensive science that is carried out in highly distributed network environments, or science that uses immense data sets that require grid computing; the term sometimes includes technologies that enable distributed collaboration, such as the Access Grid. The term was created by John Taylor, the Director General of the United Kingdom's Office of Science and Technology in 1999 and was used to describe a large funding initiative starting in November 2000.

The terabyte is a multiple of the unit byte for digital information. The prefix tera means 10 in the International System of Units (SI), and therefore 1 terabyte is 1000000000000bytes, or 1 trillion bytes, or 1000 gigabytes. 1 terabyte in binary prefixes is 0.9095 tebibytes, or 931.32 gibibytes. The unit symbol for the terabyte is TB or TByte, but not Tb (lower case b) which refers to terabit.

Horn Book(Younger, Intermediate)
A brief, incisive author's note precedes the body of this lively poetic introduction to nine real flies, those insects that belong to the order Diptera, and four insects popularly called flies (such as fireflies) that actually belong to other orders. The selection of subjects ranges from the familiar housefly and horse fly to the less well-known Mydas fly and soldier fly. Some choices-the latrine fly and the coffin fly, for example-rate high on the "yuck" index and are certain to provoke appropriate reactions. The brilliantly colored, painstakingly executed illustrations are imaginative, somewhat surreal, interpretations that embody salient characteristics suggested in the accompanying verse and in the scientific information presented on succeeding pages. Take, for example, the fruit fly: its proportions are enlarged but its body is an assemblage of its favorite viands; Michelson's verse comments on its habits: "I just ate a fruit fly / that was swimming in my cup. / I took a drink / and now I think / I'm going to throw up." A more objective and realistic view of the fruit fly is presented in line drawings and text on the two succeeding pages. The book is far from stodgy, though. First of all, there are those attention-getting magnificent illustrations; then there is that conver-sational text with just the kind of detail to entice readers; and finally there are the poems-jaunty, rhythmic rhymes-which lie lightly on the tongue and ear. m.m.b.

Why we teach
If you've ever taught, you know how rewarding it can be. The transformation can seem almost magical sometimes as you watch students stretch themselves intellectually, week after week, term by term. You can feel the progress and its accompanying struggle, as students eke out their gains, reading by reading, one problem set at a time. You listen as they experiment with different viewpoints, trying each one on for size. And you fight the urge to jump for joy when you see them nail it- a presentation, an essay, a moment of insight. This is undoubtedly one of the most gratifying parts of my job as an academic. It feels good when you know that you've taught them well- even when they can't yet appreciate it for themselves.
Then there's the icing on the cake: every once in a while, you receive an out-of-the-blue heartfelt thank you. An unexpected visit from a student you haven't seen for years; gifts in your mailbox (like my favourite polkadot teapot); or a thank you note that comes months or years after the final lecture, long after the diplomas have been awarded. Recently, I received one of these thank yous and it brought me a lot of joy. After some thought, I asked my student if I could share her words.
Dear Christine,I hope this finds you well.I never got around to emailing you after the dissertation frenzy, but they say it's better late than never.First of all, I wanted to thank you for the dissertation support. I learned a lot and was pleased to notice that both you and Dr Patel mentioned my evident enthusiasm for the topic and that you appreciated my effort to critique the dominant Anglosaxon perspective- I found that feedback perhaps more important than the grade itself.I also wanted to thank you for your class on state failure, and for the CSD [Conflict, Security, and Development] lectures. You always brought a 'fresh' perspective and attitude to class, and amongst the other lecturers, the fact that you had had extensive experience working in the field was evident and brought much appreciated pragmatism to our discussions.Shortly after handing in my dissertation last summer I began interning at WFP [World Food Programme] HQ in Rome, where I have been since. Coincidentally, I applied at a time when they were setting up various civil-military projects. The fact that I had written a dissertation on this topic meant that I had background knowledge in a subject that both humanitarians and militaries generally prefer to avoid!So far I have been loving my job at WFP- I've been working in the Emergency Response division and I have learned so much. I have so much respect for the work that is done and the hardworking people that have committed their lives to making our imperfect humanitarian system a little less imperfect.There are days where, inevitably, I have flashbacks to the CSD/SF [state failure] discussions and moral dilemmas- to your class, to the dominant conclusion to many of our questions: 'Well, it depends'. I also think a lot about our discussions and what many of you, as teachers, as well as us students were very aware of: that the reality on the ground is so different from what we read about in books. This is clear in my work at WFP headquarters. As much as we try to design the best options for field conditions, the reality is that those who have to implement these plans will encounter obstacles that we, from the ivory tower perspective, will not be able to take into account.Anyways, I think I've gone on for too long! I really do hope this finds you well and I just wanted to thank you for your class and your teaching. Oh, and you were right about sharing food in class- it really does bring people together.Best,CB
I teach- we all teach- for moments like this. It's a reminder to all of us teachers that our words and ideas continue to resonate in students' minds months and years later…. long after they've left our classrooms.
War Studies is hiring *7* permanent/tenure-track faculty, 18 posts in King's politics
Yes, that's correct. The Dept of War Studies at King's College London is hiring 7 permanent lecturers + 2 fixed-term lecturers. In addition, Defence Studies (Shrivenham campus) is hiring 8 permanent lecturers, and there are 3 more permanent posts in International Development.
For those who are not from the UK, these are tenure-track positions equivalent to assistant professor. WS is a huge interdisciplinary department (70? tenure-line academics + 50? research associates, teaching fellows). We welcome scholars in history, politics & IR, psychology, geography, area studies, anthropology, sociology, economics, computer science, law.
For more on why you should apply, see here for my sales pitch on working in War Studies at King's College London. The post is a few years old and the department has grown, but it's worth a read if you're thinking about applying. (Our department is awesome- ask anyone.)
Deadline: 20 March 2016. Interviews in April.
Lecturer in War Studies (International History)
Lecturer in International Relations (Diplomacy and Foreign Policy)
Lecturer in War Studies (History and Grand Strategy) (2 years)
Defence Studies Department, King's College London (Shrivenham campus, 1 hr outside London)
Many of my students in the MA in Conflict, Security, and Development at King's College London have come directly from the policy world. They are diplomats, military commanders, NGO workers, social activists. They bring with them diverse knowledge and skill sets to the classroom, but they also bring with them particular ways of communicating that are very different from what is required of them in academia. Key to this is academic writing.
For people who worked as practitioners, it is hard to understand what could possibly be more important than deriving policy recommendations from a piece of writing. What is the point of writing about something if you can't decide what to do about it? This is a common complaint of academic writing.
The first thing practitioners should appreciate is that deciding what to do is not the goal of an academic essay or article. The goal usually has to do with understanding the nature of the problem. With a proper diagnosis/analysis/explanation of the phenomenon, policy recommendations will follow.
So, how can practitioners-turned-students learn to write academically? The key point that needs to be appreciated is that what matters is not the impact of the argument on the real world, but rather, how this argument impacts upon the existing literature. The foundation upon which an academic essay is constructed is the literature.
First you need to build comprehension. Start your academic writing journey by reading deeply and understanding how the literature fits together. How are the debates constructed? On what ideas do they build? Where are the agreements and disagreements? How are leading thinkers grouped? What are the big ideas? You need to synthesize these ideas for yourself to figure out what fits where and who is arguing against whom.
Once you fully grasp the importance of the literature, the next task is to mimic the form. The goal here is to learn to write academically (tone, style, word choice, format, methods, presentation style, terminology, citation practices). This is like learning the grammatical rules of a new language. The goal is to look and sound like others in the discipline. If you are writing a sociology paper, you want your work to mimic the way that other sociologists write.
Once you've mastered the form, then you need to be able to meaningfully 'engage with the literature'. What does that mean? Well, you have to be able to play with it, to dance with it, to critique it, to comment on elements where you agree and disagree. When you're able to do that, then you've found your 'voice' and you should put your own ideas into this form.
Once you've mastered the form and learned how to engage, you can subvert academic form- if you want. This is the fun part. Now, you can disregard the rules- up to a point. Having developed the confidence to express your ideas in your own style, you can start to improvise, and decide whether you'd like to continue using existing formats, or whether you'd like to create hybrid forms, or whether you'd like to create your own forms of academic expression.
Think about Picasso. He first had to learn classical drawing techniques. He began by copying traditional forms. Then he had to master them, and find his own style within a classical tradition. Finally, he was able to question existing forms, and discard them in order to create new styles and modes of expression.
To recap:
1. Build comprehension.
2. Mimic the academic form of your discipline.
3. Engage with the literature and find your academic voice.
4. (Optional) Experiment with new forms of expressing your ideas.
Buhari's win- A watershed moment in Nigerian politics
Today's election win for Muhammadu Buhari is a watershed moment in Nigerian politics. The results deserve comment because Nigeria was at a crossroads- and it seems like the citizens made a decision that is going to benefit not just Nigeria itself, but African politics as a whole.
Since Goodluck Jonathan officially took power in 2010, he has run Nigeria into the ground. For a taste of these problems, there has been the firing of central banker Sanusi, the mishandling of the Chibok kidnappings, the government's incompetence in dealing with Boko Haram, and the staggering corruption problems within the Jonathan administration, including $20 billion that went "missing from the account of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC."
I never thought I would say this, but I'm actually happy that a former dictator has won this contest fair and square (thanks to new biometric voter's cards). Here's why it's good for Nigeria, and good for African politics:
1. Nigeria now has a viable opposition party. This will hopefully mean a more inclusive, and more stable political system.
"This is the first time an opposition party with a diverse national support base has taken on an incumbent party: it is the end of a long period of elite pacts in national politics," said Africa Confidential. This is extremely significant because there has long been a power-sharing pact in place within the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP)- this saw the Christian south and the Muslim north alternate the presidency every four years. This was an informal elite pact and voters in each region stuck to the rules of the game- for a period. Then in 2010, when Umaru Yar'Adua, a Muslim northerner, died part way through his first term and Goodluck Jonathan formally assumed the presidency.
The election of Buhari has ended this pact and proven the viability of an opposition that can harness widespread geographical, ethnic, and religious support. In this way, it becomes an important step for consolidating democracy.
2. Jonathan's willingness to give up power signifies that he is not above the rule of the people, and that he respects the election results, even when these rules don't work out in his favour.
It will be the FIRST time in Nigeria that an incumbent president will have lost to an opposition candidate. This is a rare moment on the continent- we have just witnessed a relatively peaceful election, followed by a graceful admission of defeat from an incumbent. Watching Jonathan concede is critical to democratic consolidation not just in Nigeria, but across Africa.
To get a feel for how truly momentous this was, read Yetty Williams' Huffington Post piece:
Up until now, the average Nigerian was not sure whether his or her vote really counts, wondered whether votes can actually make a difference or cause a change. Till this most recent elections majority of the nation had only heard about the idea of free, fair and violence-free elections….There are people still in shock that change happened! We were able to vote out the sitting president and guess what? The sky is still intact. Life is going on! And to top it off our outgoing president called the president elect to concede prior to official announcement of the results…We are suddenly in a new era, an era where the old are hopeful that things can actually change in their lifetime — free and fair elections… Can I repeat, it was largely violence-free, free and fair — we do not take this for granted.
3. If anyone has a chance of changing Nigeria's culture of corruption, it is Buhari.
Several years, I attended the UN Convention Against Corruption conference. I met a civil society leader there who told me about General Buhari's rule in 1984-85. At the time, what I found fascinating was that he seemed to imply that there was a brief ordering of society. He told me that people started queuing up for buses, and that petty corruption seemed to have briefly plummeted. Until Buhari left office. Then it went back to business as usual. This civil society leader recognized that there were a lot of problems with Buhari's rule (see his human rights record), but corruption was not one of them.
Fast forward several years to a recent Wilton Park conference on African peacekeeping: What was interesting was listening to the Nigerians express their appreciation for Buhari's clean record when it came to corruption. My sense is that a good part of Buhari's election win was due in part due to this contrast between a Jonathan government that has been perceived to be extremely flashy and corrupt, and the relatively modest lifestyle that Buhari has consistently lived (and has promised to maintain). Buhari, hardliner though he is, has been pretty honest about who he is, and what he has accumulated. That is rare in a country of political leaders who are renowned for corruption.
And if you believe Sarah Chayes' thesis on how corruption contributes to the conditions that drive religious extremism, then Buhari may be also be good for dealing with Boko Haram- but not in the way that the West thinks. In searching for purity and consistency, Boko Haram has argued that the West is a corrupt and contaminating influence- if Buhari shows that he will not live the flashy life of previous leaders, then Boko Haram loses an important narrative for driving recruitment.
The right leader can have a transformative effect for a country (Mandela), a cause (Martin Luther King), or even a religion (Pope Francis). Without wanting to set expectations too high, it's the first time in a long time that I've felt this hopeful about Nigeria's political prospects. It's been less than 24 hours since the election, but I'm already hoping against hope that Buhari doesn't disappoint.
Women in Frontline Combat Roles
On Friday 19 Dec 2014, I talked to the BBC about allowing women women to take on frontline combat roles in the UK military. The Ministry of Defence has been reviewing its policy on this matter, and the BBC asked me for some thoughts on this issue. For a whole variety of reasons, I think women should be allowed to take on combat roles.
I have a lot more to say about this topic- hopefully I'll be able to expand on some of the points from the clip when things are less busy. But to begin this conversation, I've posted the BBC interview clip below.
Some of my ideas are also summarized here in this Independent article.
Academia, Incentives, and The Secret to Unleashing Intellectual Capital- Responding to Nicholas Kristof
In the New York Times, Nicholas Kristof has just thrown down the gauntlet for academics:
Some of the smartest thinkers on problems at home and around the world are university professors, but most of them just don't matter in today's great debates.
Academics used to matter, but they don't matter as much as they used to. The question is why? I think there are three sets of reasons. Partly, this has to do with the incentives within professional academia, partly it is related to the recruitment pool for academics, and partly it has to do with the ever-widening range of non-academic sources of deep knowledge that has been made accessible through new technology (think tanks, rise of NGOs, blogosphere, free access to high quality information). I'll say something about the first two since the third is pretty obvious.
Incentives Within Academia
The core problem is one of incentives within academia: Academic prestige/tenure/promotion is based purely on publications. On the surface, this seems like a fair way of gauging merit. But it means that everything else that professors do tends to run a distant second (teaching, administration and service, public engagement). Given the fierce competition for academic posts these days, no one is going to give up their research time for public engagement (unless s/he enjoys doing it) if they don't already have tenure. (For adjunct professors/temporary lecturers who live from paycheque to paycheque with no job security, the situation is even more precarious. See Corey Robin's excellent post on this aspect of the problem.) Writing specialized journal articles will win every time because our careers depend on it.
"Many academics frown on public pontificating as a frivolous distraction from real research," said Will McCants, a Middle East specialist at the Brookings Institution. "This attitude affects tenure decisions. If the sine qua non for academic success is peer-reviewed publications, then academics who 'waste their time' writing for the masses will be penalized."
If the powers that be really want public engagement then they need to explicitly include this in their criteria for tenure & promotion. Even requiring a token op-ed in a newspaper would send an important signal. Of course, there is the caveat that public engagement is not relevant for all disciplines or within a discipline- but for disciplines like politics, you would think that most of us would want to engage with a wider audience beyond the boundaries of specialized journals.
The Recruitment Pool for Academia
Regarding who is most likely to become an academic these days, there are a couple of important trends. First, in my own discipline of politics, fewer "public intellectual" types are being drawn to academia than used to be the case. Instead of doing a PhD, many of these people are joining think tanks, opting to work for NGOs or international organizations, heading to tech start-ups or management consultancies, or occupying the social entrepreneur space. These are options that just didn't exist twenty years ago. The bottom line is that many of those with the inclination and the smarts to become academics have chosen to do other things now that there are so many interesting (and well-paid!) career options. Second, the culture of politics as a academic discipline has also changed significantly in the past twenty years.
A basic challenge is that Ph.D. programs have fostered a culture that glorifies arcane unintelligibility while disdaining impact and audience. This culture of exclusivity is then transmitted to the next generation through the publish-or-perish tenure process. Rebels are too often crushed or driven away.
If you think about academia as an exclusive club that many, many people want to join, it becomes possible to see that key gatekeepers (journal editors, tenured faculty at the Top 10) hold a lot of power. If gatekeepers want to set an exclusive and difficult-to-penetrate research agenda for the discipline, they can readily do so in choosing the kinds of articles that get published in top journals, the kinds of PhD projects they are willing to supervise, and the kinds of work that they consider to be "groundbreaking". This isn't just about rebels being crushed or driven away, as Kristof alleges, but rather that the rebels are no longer drawn to academia in the first place because the kinds of narrow research questions that are being asked today don't excite them. Further, the pressures to publish can be severe enough that if your research falls outside of disciplinary norms, your work risks being marginalized- with all of the consequent career implications. Namely, you're highly unlikely to make it into the profession in the first place. These dynamics shift the academic recruitment pool in a certain direction. [See this post comparing academia to drug cartels from a King's colleague, Alexandre Afonso.]
Academic Superstars & the Hyper-Engaged
For younger scholars, I would say that even though Kristof is mostly right about the broad lack of public engagement, he has also omitted the story of the superstar academics. Just within the realm of politics and international relations, Twitter, MOOCs, the blogosphere, and TED talks have created academic superstars out of people like Anne-Marie Slaughter, Chris Blattman, Daniel Drezner, and Saskia Sassen. I can also name dozens upon dozens of hyper-engaged academics who blog, tweet, and engage in policy-making. (Here are just a few: Laura Seay, Lesley Warner, Roland Paris, Severine Autesserre, Susanna Campbell, Rob Ford, Thomas Rid, Lawrence Freedman, Jeff Colgan, Stephen Saideman, Jennifer Welsh, Dominik Zaum, Jeni Whalan, Daniel Drezner, Lee Jones, never mind widely read blogs like The Monkey Cage, Political Violence at a Glance and Duck of Minerva. The list goes on and on. Did I mention that half of my department at King's is active on Twitter?)
As with the rest of the labour market, those who go the extra mile to engage publicly will mean that they can reap the reputational returns on a global scale. For these hyper-engaged academics, the rewards are more likely to come in the form of public and disciplinary influence rather than pay increases.
Academic Rigor and Relevance
A few more thoughts: I don't think you need to give up academic rigor in order to do interesting, accessible, and relevant research. We shouldn't conflate rigorous with being inaccessible/uninteresting/irrelevant. There does not need to be a trade-off here as implied by Rubin Ruiz-Rufino. The problem may be more in how "rigorous" is defined- an altogether separate discussion. Disciplinary "rigor" could still mask other problems:
After the Arab Spring, a study by the Stimson Center looked back at whether various sectors had foreseen the possibility of upheavals. It found that scholars were among the most oblivious — partly because they relied upon quantitative models or theoretical constructs that had been useless in predicting unrest.
Separately, we need to gauge "relevance" with caution. Just because a subject is obscure today does not mean that it should not be studied nor does it mean that the quality of scholarship is poor. Way back in 2000, how many politics scholars in the West could even pick out Afghanistan on a map, never mind offer us insights into Afghan politics, culture, and society? Afghanistan was about as obscure a subject as you could imagine, and yet Barnett Rubin had persisted in following Afghan politics for decades…. Another example: Back in 2007, Shadi Hamid presented his doctoral project on the Muslim Brotherhood at Nuffield College's Graduate Politics Seminar in Oxford. At the time, it seemed like an interesting if slightly obscure topic. And then came Tahrir Square.
If obscurity is not the problem, neither is the impenetrability of the discipline in and of itself (as Steve Saideman argues here). The problem is the MIX. Right now, the obscure and impenetrable seem to dominate many of the discipline's key institutions. As I said to Steve, I think that rigor is still being prized over relevance. In short, it is more advantageous to formulate an airtight argument to a narrow and mildly interesting research question rather than to offer a thoughtful (but not airtight) argument to a much more compelling question. [Interestingly, I think the gap between academia-policy-public is much smaller in the UK as compared to North America.]
Unlocking Academia's Intellectual Capital
While my sense is that younger scholars in my discipline of politics are happily engaging more with the public via social media and other forums, it's clear that there is a tremendous amount of intellectual capital that is trapped within the ivory towers because the incentives aren't strong enough to unlock it. For politics departments, I have one small recommendation: Require extended abstracts for all publications that are submitted as part of tenure and promotion/probation processes. Ask for 750 word executive summaries with key findings in layman's terms. This minor addition would make scholarly studies much more useful and readily accessible without changing what people study or how they decide to study it. In the long run, this is the kind of change that will tilt the balance in favour of public engagement and put politics scholars back at the heart of public discourse- where they belong.

I have an idea what about implementing a note clip of sorts; yea I know there is the
project notes, but now that I'm using a heap of key frames with multiple layers and trying
to keep them in sync with other clips with a ton of key frames I thought it would be good
to have notes that I can keep next to the clips on the time line.
Sort of like an in sync scratch pad for when an effect is hurting your head you can move on
to different clips and come back days later have your notes right by the section you need to
work on
an example of the crazyness is 6 layers deep of different keyframed clips that I'm trying to
keep their animation together and and serveral alpha shapes effects with keyframes to get
the look I'm going for. I found myself getting confused at time while I attempted to adjust
to the workflow.
any ideas.

you may have seen something like this on a list apart. i feel that only letting users select from style sheets that i've built, is only going halfway. this script lets users write their own style sheets, and even their own javascripts, to completely take over how the site looks and works. means the only thing i'm really responsible for, is content.
you can see this in action at my site. i only have just the one style sheet set up right now, but you can effectively turn it on and off. here's a link: http://www.joh6nn.com/style/
this is split into two parts. includer.js, which is included in every page on the site (or, at least all the ones you want this to work on), and the page you set up that actually changes the styles.
this is the includer.js file:
// includer.js
// we start by defining our defaults. My black & gray style by default,
// and no javascript.
var style = 'http://www.joh6nn.com/files/default.css';
var script = '';
// then, we check for the existence of my cookie.
// note that i assume the possible existence of other cookies;
// this is so that users can include their own cookies, if they want.
if (document.cookie.indexOf('uri=') != -1) {
// find the start of my cookie
var start = document.cookie.indexOf('uri=') + 4;
// find the end of my cookie
var end = document.cookie.indexOf(';', start);
if (end < 0) { end = document.cookie.length; }
// simultaneously pulls my cookie out of the batch,
// and unescapes. note that escaping is important,
// because urls can contain 'volatile' characters.
var temp = unescape(document.cookie.slice(start,end));
// splits the resulting string into a url for style,
// and a url for javascript.
temp = temp.split('|');
style = temp[0];
script = temp[1];
// writes out the style and script tags.
document.write('<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" HREF="' + style +'" TYPE="text/css">');
document.write('
function bake() {
// defines the various default values.
// note that 'path' and 'domain' are defined here, instead of being hardcoded
// i had no end of problems when i hardcoded these values, all of which disappeared
// when i made them variables in this form. ::shrug::
var style = '', script = '', temp = ['',''], path = '/', domain = '.where-ever.com';
// creates the expiration date for the cookie, by taking todays date,
// converting it to milliseconds, adding 10 years worth of milliseconds,
// creating a new date from that, and converting to GMT, which is standard for cookies.
var expire = new Date();
expire = Date.parse(expire);
expire += (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 365 * 10); // 10 years, in milliseconds.
expire = new Date(expire);

To use the default style sheet, type default in the style box. If you want to view the site with no style sheets at all, type blank in the style box, or leave the box emmpty. If you want to keep the current style sheet, but change the JavaScript, type current in the style box, and the url of your JavaScript file in the script box. To go without any JavaScript, you can leave the script box empty, or type blank. If you want to change your style sheet, but keep your JavaScript the same, type current. You can type default into the script box, too, but there's no JavaScript by default, so, whatever.

Style Sheet

i've also included the two in a zip file.
any and all questions, comments and suggestions welcome. let me know if this doesn't work for you; i'll look into fixing it asap (since it's live on my site (which is admittedly not all that lively) ).

I have a site with the following requirements:
• register into MySQL, send activation email to user
• once activation email clicked, record activated and moved into FileMaker
From then on, login, password resets and updating details will be done directly on the filemaker database
There is already a FileMaker PHP API but my question is about authentication. There is obviously no out-of-the-box Auth library that will do exactly as above so I can either write my own or try and hack an existing library, such as TankAuth or IonAuth,
I haven't used either of those existing libraries before so I'm unsure of how much I'll need to hack without getting into it. Has anyone been down this road before?

If we can pop up again at the close and open super strong in the morning it just hit me that we might have a Royal Short Squeeze tomorrow. We might even see a rush to cover at the close today. DaninFW
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Entire sector seems to be on fire once again, so perhaps smart money knows more M+A to come shortly, I am guessing.
Seemed to pop at the close here. Your have been right on the money so far since you started pounding the table again on GTN.
makes next year's political advertising that much more heated.
We were down to $7.86 to $7.87 at the close. Then about 2,000 shares hit at $7.93 a nickel jump and last 28,000 was at $7.90........we may have seen a little short covering this morning which kicked us up to $8.17..........Boy, if we could just get a merger announcement or positive PR about GTN delivering we could pop $1+..........DaninFW

|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Enjoy a relaxing family cabin vacation in an 1100 sq. ft log cabin in a private setting on 150' of lakefront on one of Northern Michigan's largest lakes, with more than 17,000 acres. Explore pristine Burt Lake with 35 miles of shoreline. Burt Lake is part of the inland waterway, Michigan's longest chain of river and lakes more than 40 miles long. Located on Burt Lake's premiere, sandy West shore. Recently newly renovated Maple Bay boat ramp is nearby. Newly completed Burt Lake Trail bike/walking path footsteps away from cabin property entrance. The bike path is currently 5 miles long and soon to be connected to existing Tip of the Mitt bike trails. For golfers,the area of northern Michigan has 18 spectacular courses. The cabin location is very convenient with commute time of 30 minutes to Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Mackinaw City and departing ferries to Mackinaw Island. Enjoy shopping, restaurants, movies and local theater.
Cottage amenities include:
*Bedroom one with queen bed(first floor location)
*Bedroom two with full bed (first floor location)
*Upper loft with one full and two twin beds
*Skylight above staircase to loft
*All linens except beach towels
*Well-equipped kitchen
*All electric household
*Private dock with a 5000 lb shore station boat lift
available that will accommodate up to a 24 ft. boat, with an additional mooring
*New fish cleaning house
* High speed internet
We travel around US quite a bit and for a long time my husband has just wanted a week up north to fish and relax. This rental fit the bill. The cottage is clean, and well-stocked, we lacked for nothing. Owners were accommodating and thoughtful, leaving us information on sights and restaurants nearby. The mid-week call to check in with us was an unexpected perk. A great lake for a relaxing cruise-we did travel the inland waterway, or for fishing-caught walleye and perch each day. Would recommend this rental to anyone.
This is our third cabin/cottage rental in the area and is by far our favorite. We plan to return again next year.
The owners have put a lot of thought into stocking the cabin and not just junky stuff, but quality items they would use themselves.
We loved the old cabin feel. Perfect for getting away from the daily grind.
Our boys played in the water constantly (bring water shoes).
There is also enough yard to play a lawn game or throw a football around. This is rare for lake front.
Thank you again to the owners!!
Burt Lake and the surrounding area is a wonderful place. This cabin, while nicely furnished, had some very real safety issues. The bathroom floor was always wet and slippery from water seepage (we had several nasty falls), the stairway to the loft is very steep without a proper railing and the front lawn slope at the fire pit made the lawn chairs tip easily. We also had a difficult time getting our security deposit back after our three week stay. All in all, not worth the price.
What a great Cabin. Traditional log cabin with great fishing and boating. Beautiful views of the lake and the cabin had everything we needed. One of Michigan's best inland lakes. My family will definitely be back.
This Cabin is the perfect traditional log home experience. The view of Burt Lake is amazing and located on the north end of the lake puts you right where the best fishing is. My grandkids got to catch fish and try water skiing. We had a wonderful week together.
We spent a beautiful week at this magical cabin and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful scenery, lakeview, sunrise, and quiet. Burt Lake is so big but boat traffic was minimal - even the week of July 4th. We rented a boat and felt like we had the lake all to ourselves. The dock and buoy were perfect. Cabin accommodations were very comfortable with attention given to details not typical in a vacation rental. The cabin is neat ans clean and accommodated our every need. John (the owner) is friendly and kind. A local, John was able to fill us in on all the hot spots and fun things to do in the area. It will surely be one of our favorite vacations. We will be back!

US Coast Guard urges offshore industry to take proactive approach to cyber risks
Cyber risks are increasing on a daily basis in the offshore industry. A potential attack could arise from a multitude of vulnerabilities, such as from an employee's malware-infected USB drive or from an improperly protected internet router. "The threat is unlimited," Lt. Cmdr. Josh Rose with the US Coast Guard (USCG) said at the 2016 IADC HSE&T Conference in Houston on 2 February. "There are statistics out there that people have been hacked for seven to nine months before they find out. That's pretty staggering when you think about someone walking around your oil rig for seven to nine months before you realize they are not supposed to be there."Read More »

Wood Mackenzie: No sign of significant oil production shut-ins at $35/bbl
A new global oil production analysis indicates that 3.4 million bbl/day of oil production is cash negative at a Brent oil price of $35. Since the dramatic drop in prices from late 2014, there have been few halts in production – with approximately 100,000 bbl/day shut-in globally to date. According to the Wood Mackenzie report, the areas with the largest volumes shut-in so far have been Canada onshore and oil sands, conventional US onshore projects and aging UK North Sea fields. However, the number of shut-ins is unlikely to increase at the rate some might expect, as many producers hold out in the hope of a price rebound.Read More »

I expected better for a 10 year old motel! The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The decor looks like its from the 80's. The TV was a very small (13 maybe 19 inch) box TV with bad reception. There were a couple large finger smudges, of food or who knows what, on the walls that there is no way the cleaning staff should have missed. The lady at the reception desk was very blase'.
If you've gotten used to the standard white bedding & comfy beds at most hotels, dont stay here, you will not be happy.
On the plus side, it is close to the Ocean and on the main strip close to stores and food, and the lobby was nice. It also comes with a fridge and microwave. The overall condition of the property is clean.
If location is what you are after its in a great spot!

My husband and I stayed at Federal House Inn for one night in July. Our hosts were lovely, very accommodating, and paid careful attention to all aspects of the guest experience. There was a wonderful wine/cheese/snacks/coffee&tea reception in the late afternoon, which provided a nice opportunity to chat with other guests and curb our appetites before a late dinner. The breakfast (served at whatever time the guests request!) was delicious, and the hosts offered to accommodate special dietary needs or preferences.

We loved the old Inn, beautifully maintained, helpful and friendly hosts.

We very much enjoyed the environment. service, and overall experience of Federal House Inn. Along with the provision of coffee for early risers, the breakfasts were exceptional. Our hosts should consider photographing the presentation of the courses. Their recommendations for dining were spot on as were their suggestions for things to do in the Berkshires. We would happily return.

I stayed in the Rose room and had a lovely stay. Marcia and Ken were wonderful hosts and made me feel welcomed. The inn is located a short drive from Main Street in Lee near the outlet mall. I was in town to see James Taylor at Tanglewood which is about a 10 minute drive.

Excellent choice

The rooms were beautiful, and the linen pillow covers were a nice, cool, luxury! The breakfast is amazing, and the camaraderie among fellow guests at the welcome wine reception was lively and engaging. A wonderful weekend visit, with great hospitality from the new hosts!

I've stayed at B&Bs and small inns worldwide, and Federal House Inn is one of the best! The rooms were great, but I feel like that should be standard in a B&B. What sets Federal House apart is the hospitality. The new owners, Marcia and Ken (never met the previous ones, so this isn't meant as a comparison) are warm, inviting, and attentive. They created ease the moment we walked in the door with a friendly welcome, a general tour, and afternoon tea. Our intent when arriving at 4:30 was to check in and immediately go out to dinner; however, we felt so comfortable, we sat down for another hour with tea, crackers and cheese, and out-of-this-world chocolate chip cookies. And, the tea was sweet! A rare treat! Breakfast was served at a time we chose, which happened to be 7am due to our schedule. No matter, everything was ready. So. The food. Unbelievable!! Truly wonderful two course breakfast with a citrus slushie in between. It's Marcia's family recipe. Amazing. Pumpkin scones. Melt in your mouth. Veggie Frittata. Savory and portioned perfectly. Make sure you leave time to savor the breakfast. It's a gift to yourself worth indulging in! I go to the Berkshires once or twice a year for programming at Kripalu, a place with world class food and customer service. It feels like my second home. This year's trip kept me in town for Friday night. Because there's no checkout at Kripalu on Saturdays, I booked a night at Federal House. Now, when I travel to Kripalu, I need to stay longer just to go back to the Federal House Inn because it too feels like my second home! Marcia and Ken, thank you for being part of what makes the Berkshires so special for me.

Innkeepers Marcia and Ken create a warm, welcoming atmosphere in their historic home. Breakfasts are spectacular three course affairs, with the most interesting and delicious menus. Comfy beds, and endless attention to every detail of your stay. Unforgettable experience. Highly recommend..

This review was incredibly generous and very very much appreciated. I noticed four stars for value and now that we are two months (and 9 days but who's counting) in I am finally getting the chance to review our pricing and am making adjustments. We left things in that department as they were while we concentrated on the physical changes but now we are sitting down and addressing that and hopefully providing the correct pricing adjustments. Thanks for the input. It confirms what I am changing. Appreciate you!

That was an amazing story!

Best fanfic I've read in a long time. Couldn't stop reading it and look forward to reading more from you
| Taeniaea chapter 44 . 6/7/2012
cool story
| fanka77 chapter 44 . 9/26/2011
Excellent story. Very good storyline and just perfect ending. I really enjoyed it!
| racing snail chapter 26 . 2/18/2010
Oh, I'm going to have to listen to a lot of 'I told you so's.'"
"I've never needed to have a snake in my head to hear those. Come on."
Best line ever, along with "I've always wanted an excuse to hit Jack" perfectly shows how Jacob and Jack "get" each other and like each other despite being so similar and yet being completely different people.
| bellachaos chapter 44 . 7/12/2009
Great story. I liked the way you tried to balance the different facets of the plot, military adventure, romance and family tale all wound up into one epic plot. Great job all around, I can't wait to read more of your work.
| LadyMo chapter 44 . 5/7/2009
Great Story. I loved it from the beginning. This story gives Jack a kind of second chance to be a better husband and have 2 more kids. He even got to spend more years with Sam as his wife. I like to think that things/events in the world chamged and for the better. Thanks for a wonderful story.
| Stargatelover212 chapter 44 . 4/20/2009
WOW. great ending to an amazing story. It was THE perfect ending, and I couldn't have asked for more :)
One question though: Do Daniel and Vala ever get together?
Either way, great story!
| FORD B chapter 44 . 3/25/2009
Excellent story and really great ending!
| starrover chapter 44 . 3/24/2009
I am so glad you finished this story. The concept was incredibly involved (time travel always is) but you manged to tie it all up. I have really enjoyed all of your writing including this story.
| General Charles Wade chapter 44 . 3/22/2009
Your story was hard to stop reading. I enjoyed it alot. Its as good as any SG1 book.
| polrobin chapter 44 . 3/21/2009
Words cannot begin to describe...I simply could NOT put this story down. Spent last night and all this afternoon on my PDA eagerly reading through it.
I was confused on one point. What was it Jack did that went against Sam's wishes when she was pregnant? That and the scene in Jack's bedroom when Sam sees the hole in the wall from when he punched it. What was the big revelation? Is it the same answer as to my first question?
Either way, damned good story there. Truly. Great job.

Formscan By Gary Carson - EIGHT CHIMES shaped really nicely on his debut behind a smart sort in Outlander at Fairyhouse and should go close now. He got the hang of things in the closing stages then and finished to good effect. That suggested he would improve from the run and he should again have the beating of Indian File who was behind him in fourth then. The form of that race looks solid with the winner impressive again since at Leopardstown and the runner-up Saffron Wells also running well there on St Stephen's Day when staying on from behind. Whinstone Dee was also third on his debut at Fairyhouse earlier this month but the form took bit of a knock with the runner-up Lady Of Glencoe well beaten since. Mad Brian returns from over a year's absence but had a couple of good placed efforts last term and could get involved while of the newcomers So Oscar makes most appeal with Patrick Mullins booked. The Oscar gelding is out of a half-sister to decent performer Chomba Womba, who was previously trained by Mags Mullins.

Winner's Circle
Meet the Winner
Rena V. Stevens
I was born in the Netherlands (a long time ago), where I lived until I was nine years old. In those days, girls stayed in school on Wednesday afternoons to learn needlework, while the boys got to go out and play! I loved it, though, and "designed" tons of crocheted and knitted doll clothes as a child, and then went on to design my own sweaters as a teenager.
It wasn't until I was in my 40s that it dawned on me that maybe I could sell my designs, and I sold the very first project I submitted -- a crocheted afghan. I've been selling my designs ever since. Shawls, scarves and afghans are my favorite projects to design and crochet, mostly because they provide an almost limitless "canvas" for design and tend to be more timeless than trendy garments.
We know many talented readers enjoy designing their own patterns, from tablecloths to toys. Why not let others enjoy your pattern and earn a little cash in the process? We'll pay top dollar for your original crochet patterns. From those submitted, we'll choose a Winner's Circle prizewinning design.
Please send us the actual crocheted item(s), which will be photographed and returned to you. (Make sure you include return postage for the return of the item.)
Please e-mail (email@example.com) or write for our Designer's Guidelines which provides necessary information when submitting designs.
All patterns submitted must be your own design and not a copy of another designer's pattern or copyrighted or licensed figures or characters (Disney or Sesame Street characters, etc.)

I am about to refinance my house into my name only (closing is scheduled in 2 weeks). My ex-spouse has provided the quit claim deed to the mortgage company. However, he still lives in the upstairs apartment and has not yet signed the exit contract that makes it clear that he needs to start paying rent or move out on the date of the closing. I fear that this will result in an expensive, drawn out eviction process during which time I will have to cover 100% of the mortgage. I cant afford this and I already have renters interested in taking over the upstairs apartment. Is there anything I can do in advance of the closing - such as filing unlawful detainer papers - in order to pre-empt this situation? Or, should I not close on a new mortgage and risk not being able to close at all.
Our divorce decree awards us the property equally (50 / 50). He has agreed to give me ownership of the house given that it is 'under water' and has stated he wants to move out. He signed and delivered a copy of the title/ quit claim deed paperwork to the refinancing bank in order to make it possible for me to schedule closing at the end of the month. (That quit claim deed has not been recorded at the city clerk's office yet - the original will be delivered by his lawyer at closing.) However, he will not sign an exit contract/ rental agreement with me that will define the monthly payment for the upstairs apartment after I close (ie, after he is no longer responsible for paying half the mortgage). I'm certain therefore that he plans to live up there for free, for as long as it takes for me to evict him.
Foreclosure Attorney
If he won't vacate willingly you will need to go through the legal process. If there is a written lease, you will have to let him live out the terms of the lease and then not renew it. If there is not a written lease, then legally he has a month to month tenancy and you can evict him with a 30-day notice.
If you are able to give him a 30-day notice I would do so in writing and serve him immediately. This will speed things up if you have to take him to court. You may sue him for eviction if the 30 day notice expires and he has not vacated the property.
This answer is intended as informational only, and does not constitute legal advice or form an attorney-client relationship between us.
Child Support Lawyer
If you have a divorce judgment/MSA, look to that first - if the issue is addressed, follow the terms. If it's the ex that's failing to follow the terms, file a petition for rule. But before doing anything, see a family law attorney in your area for specific guidance.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
If I understand correctly, you were both awarded the marital former property in your divorce but your ex has since executed a quit claim deed. I have never heard of an exit contract but your suspicions about his intending to stay for free seem plausible. Therefore, even though you wish to avoid this, you will probably have to go through the eviction process. You and not your ex now own the property along with the bank. The most efficient way to handle your hanger-on is to consult with an experienced eviction attorney. You should discuss whether you are able to begin the process now or you must wait until you close on the refinancing. In any event, based upon your description of your ex, you will need legal assistance to help you get rid of him. Therefore, the sooner you start the sooner will be able to get him out of there.
Real Estate Attorney
In advance? Without reviewing the decree it's really impossible to say for sure. The decree should have defined what his continuing ownership AND occupancy rights and obligations are, which might create a tenancy you can deal with in eviction court, but if there is any ambiguity in it then your only recourse might be back to divorce court. For example if the decree obligated him to sign some kind of additional contract (I've never heard of an "exit contract") in the nature of a rental agreement and he doesn't your recourse could be to take him back to divorce court to force him to sign it. Otherwise seems like you're in a catch-22 and if you insist on some written arrangement for his continued occupancy after he gives you the deed (which he apparently is NOT obligated to do), he could simply withdraw the deed.

Last month, Chism allegedly raped and murdered Colleen Ritzer, his math teacher, in the second floor bathroom of Danvers High School before dragging her body into nearby woods."The indictments returned today detail horrific and unspeakable acts," Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said in a statement, according to the Boston Globe. "This is the first step in a long process to secure justice for Ms. Ritzer and her family."
