Portmapping is deprecated due to Cyber Security and users should use Axis Companion or ACS.
Summary: This article describes how to configure and install an Axis network camera or video server when using home routers in order to access it from the Internet over a broadband connection.
The information in this article applies to all Axis network cameras and video servers.
Requirements & benefits
When using a high speed internet connection, the subscriber typically receives a public IP address that is accessible directly from the Internet. In this article, it is assumed that the user is setting up a local network using a home router, such as D-link, Netgear, Linksys or similar. Most of these routers have support for 'dyndns' out of the box (more on this further down). These devices cost in the range of $50 to $100 and are available in most network stores or online. By paying a little bit more, the network experience can be further improved, by using a Wireless 802.11b/g home router.
The use of such a home router is highly recommended as it brings some significant benefits to a home network:
By using the NAT function (Network Address Translation) or IP-masquerading, the network addresses will be protected, and the PC(s) will be effectively hidden from attacks originating from the Internet.
It is possible to have multiple PCs in a home sharing the same Internet connection.
Other devices, such as a network camera, can easily be connected.
A static (preferably) or dynamic IP address from the high speed internet connection supplier. Further discussion on static/dynamic IPs appears below.
Basic setup for a single camera
First, follow the setup of the home router. Typically they take an Internet IP address using DHCP from the ISP (Internet Service Provider), which will from now on be referred to as the WAN IP. This is basically transparent to the user, but it is needed in order to access the network camera externally.
On the LAN the router will have a local address. Typically this is 192.168.0.1. The home router then acts as a DHCP server, assigning IP addresses on the LAN. The default is that these addresses are assigned from 192.168.0.100 and upwards. This leaves room for static IPs which is what the Axis network camera needs. So a good sample number is to use IP addresses from 192.168.0.50 in such an environment. These addresses need to be configured manually, and it is recommended that this be done after the home router is installed. Then assign the IP address to the camera as described in the camera's Installation Guide/User's Manual.
Once the camera has its IP number set, the images should be viewable on the local network using a Web browser. Disable any proxy settings in the browser (this is normally disabled by default) and then enter the IP address of the camera in the browsers address field (e.g. 192.168.0.50). The picture should now be viewable.
In order to make the camera externally available, use the 'port forwarding' function of the home router. This is a feature available on most routers. Specify that port 80 of the WAN IP is to point to port 80 of the local IP 192.168.0.50 (the Axis camera). This will now make the camera accessible on the Internet, given that the WAN IP address is known. This can be found in the status page of the home routers setup. The network camera is now live on the Internet.
When the camera is live on the Internet, remember that anyone on the Internet can monitor it. If privacy is required, Axis strongly recommends that the anonymous viewing is disabled or the password in the camera is changed from the default (for older cameras).
Using multiple cameras with a home router
First, configure the cameras according to the basic setup. In this example it is assumed that there will be 5 cameras with IP addresses in the range from 192.168.0.50 - 192.168.0.54.
As there is only one WAN IP address available, different ports on the router will need to be utilized. As an example, the HTTP protocol by default uses port number 80. Most port numbers below 1024 are standardized, but they can be used if necessary. However, it is strongly recommended not to use port numbers below 80 as some common services rely on these. In this example ports 81 and upwards are used.
In order to set up the different cameras, ports on the WAN IP need to be individually mapped to the internal camera IP addresses. Assuming there are 5 cameras they may be mapped according to the table below. This example assumes that the home router can map one port number to another IP addresses port number (e.g. having port 80 of all the cameras mapped to different ports on the WAN). On some routers this is not possible. Then the user must configure the local cameras so that they use the same port number as the external port number. HTTP port on the cameras can normally be changed under Network settings in the administration part of the built in web interface. Once changed, it is not possible to access the cameras using the default HTTP port and the user will always be required to use the new port number as in the table below:
|Local IP
|Local URL without cross port mapping
At this point the cameras can be viewed externally from the Internet. Remember the privacy.
Static or Dynamic IP address?
Most ISPs will provide a subscriber with a dynamic IP that in theory may change every hour. However, it is common practice to maintain the same IP address for as long as the connection is active. So given that there is no down time, the IP will remain the same, and when the connection is re-established after a period of downtime, a new IP address will be assigned. The best scenario is of course if the ISP can provide a static IP, which guarantees that the IP will not change.
The WAN IP address can be found in the status page of the home router. Make a note of this and try the cameras.
The ISP will most likely not inform a user if their dynamic IP addresses actually change or not (although asking them is recommended). The only safe way to know is by trial and error. Run the home router for a couple of weeks, and make a note on which WAN IP address it has. If it changes, it will be more difficult to have the cameras easily accessible on the Internet. Information regarding this can be found on www.dyndns.org .
Obtaining a domain name for the cameras
As having to remember the IP address of a Web site is tedious, it is preferable to have a personal domain name (e.g. www.joecamera.com ). There are three ways of obtaining a domain name that Axis can recommend:
Register a domain using some of the popular dynamic DNS sites, e.g. the DYN DNS service (www.dyndns.org).
Register a real domain by any of the domain registrants e.g. the www.register.com
Use The Axis Internet Dynamic DNS Service (applies to the new generation of products, running firmware version 4.xx)
See also: One Click Installation & Axis Internet Dynamic DNS Service (pdf).
Important: Axis does not take any responsibility for how these configuration changes may affect your system. If the modification fails or if you get other unexpected results, you may have to restore the factory default settings as described in the User's Manual.

HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - Windows Experience Index (Windows 7)
Windows Experience Index
The Windows Experience Index is a measure for how well the computer system performs. A higher score generally means that your computer will perform better and faster than a computer with a lower score, especially when running software that requires a lot of system resources.
note:The Windows Experience Index rating provides a score for how well Windows is able to perform in the hardware environment. It is not an indication for how well the entire system is performing. Your computer might have a very high rating of 5.8, yet slow down or lock-up due to other problems; such as viruses, hard drive space, or too many software programs running at the same time. For more information about how to increase system performance without upgrading hardware, see HP Guided Solution - Slow Computer Performance.
Complete the following steps to view the Windows Experience Index ratings for your computer:
Click Start , right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
In the System area, find Windows Experience Index, and make a note of the rating.Figure : Windows Experience Index
The basic Windows Experience Index rating is the lowest rating of several hardware component ratings . To see a list of all the ratings, click Windows Experience Index from System screen.Figure : Performance Information and Tools
When you have finished viewing the ratings, close the Window.
Improving the Windows Experience Index rating
Upgrading hardware and drivers that are associated with the lowest subscore might improve the rating. The rating can improve if there is room for improvement, the hardware component or driver performs significantly better than the previous version, and the new hardware or driver does not have any problems interacting with the system.
In general, here are some tips on which components to upgrade according to the subscore to be improved:
Processor: If the motherboard supports a faster processor than what is already installed, upgrading the processor can improve this score.
Memory (RAM): If the motherboard supports memory with higher speeds than what is already installed, installing higher rated memory can improve this score. All installed DIMMs must be of the same rating, because the entire memory system runs only as fast as the lowest rated memory.
Graphics: Installing a higher rated graphics adapter than what is already installed can improve this score. You should also consider upgrading the power supply if the new graphics hardware requires more power.
Gaming graphics: Installing an updated graphics driver might either improve the score or make the score worse. Installing a higher rated graphics card than what is already installed can improve this score. You should also consider upgrading the power supply if the new graphics hardware requires more power.
Primary hard disk: Replacing the primary disk drive with a drive with a higher RPM value might increase this rating. If your motherboard supports both IDE and SATA, and an IDE drive is installed, switching to a SATA drive can improve this rating.
After a hardware component or driver has been installed, open the Performance Information and Tools window to view the subscores, and click Re-run the assessment.
For more information, click Tips for improving your computer's performance from the Performance Information and Tools window.

Lower Austria - Facts & Figures
Lower Austria is often described as the 'province around Vienna' because, from a geographical point of view, Vienna, which is Austria's capital and at the same time a separate federal province, is located in the centre of Lower Austria - similar to the situation of Berlin and Brandenburg in Germany. Also, for a long time, the Office of the Government of Austria was located in Vienna and it was not until 1996 that St. Pölten was chosen to be its provincial capital. In 1997, the regional parliament, government and administration, followed by other important institutions were transferred to St Pölten.
Lower Austria has the largest area and the second largest population (after Vienna) of the nine federal provinces in Austria. On the north, Lower Austria is bordered by the Czech Republic; on the east it is bordered by Slovakia where the river system of Thaya and March marks the frontier line. In the south, the foothills of the Eastern Alps form a natural boundary with Styria. In the south-east, Lower Austria borders Burgenland and this is where the province also has a share in the Pannonian Plateau, which then stretches a scant 4km away into Hungary..
The Danube plays a very prominent role in both topographical and historical terms. This river, which was once the northern boundary of the Roman Empire, is the lifeline of the region and divides Lower Austria into a northern part with the Wald- and Weinviertel and a southern part with the Most- and Industrieviertel.The Danube has been of great importance since historical times as a transport artery, and today it forms part of the Rhine-Main-Danube canal, linking the Atlantic to the Black Sea.
Througout Austria's history, Lower Austria has always been very important, for it was in connection with the Lower Austrian town Neuhofen/Ybbs that the first recorded mentioning of the name "Ostarrichi" (Österreich), dating back to over one thousand years ago, was found.
However, Lower Austria is not only the historical heart of Austria with countless cultural points of interest, it is also important from the economic point of view, for this province is generating the bulk of Austria's agricultural products as well as featuring a highly developed industrial sector. In addition, the region has major sources of raw materials as well as extensive leisure facilities which are especially interesting for tourists.
The name 'Niederösterreich = Lower Austria' requires an explanation, for it sometimes evokes to incorrect associations. The prefix 'Nieder = Lower' has nothing to do with being flat or low, in fact it refers to the position of this province with regard to the river Enns, whose lower course forms the boundary between the provinces of Upper Austria and Lower Austria. Viewed from Bavaria to the east, this German province was very important to the development of modern-day Austria in the early Middle Ages, Lower Austria lies 'below' the Enns. So the name Lower Austria derives etymologically from this fact: it refers to the land "below" the Enns - as opposed to the region "above" the Enns, which accordingly is known today as "Oberösterreich = Upper Austria".
|In the North-East of Austria (the province around Vienna)

China is infamous for its knock-offs. Some are so well-made, it's impossible to tell them from the original. And sometimes they are even made at the same factories!
As good as China's knock-offs are, nothing beats their clever names. There was the iPed, the Yinlips YDPG18 (okay, not so clever) and now, there is iPnoho6!
There are numerous more knock-offs with equally clever, or not so clever, names.
But, wait. This is not an iPhone6 rip-off. It can't be, because the iPhone6 is not on sale and the world is still waiting for the iPhone5.
This is a geniune iPnoho6. And I want one. Wonder if the fake Apple Store is going to carry it.

Orville J. Nave
Biblical scholar
BiographyOrville James Nave was an army chaplain who sought to produce an exhaustive classification of all the topics in the King James Version of the Bible. The first Nave's Topical Bible was the result of fourteen years of study by Nave, with the assistance of his wife Anna. Nave worked for the last twenty years of his life on various revisions of the work.
Works by Orville J. Nave
Written before the age of computers, Orville J. Nave's Topical Bible is a true work of art. Nave spent 14 years studying the King James Version of the Bible with his wife, and created this concordance of over 20,000 topics in 1896. Each topic has multiple scripture references, which give the reader a complete sense of the word or phrase, and make this volume more helpful for beginners than a traditional concordance. Users are also able to search for all the verses related to a topic or all the topics related to a verse. Topics range from the broad (concepts like salvation or repentance) to the minute (references to rope or doves in scripture). The book also includes listings for names and places in the Bible. A true cornerstone of Biblical knowledge, Nave's Topical Bible is endorsed and used by Christians of all backgrounds. Though it was first completed over a century ago, this enduring Biblical reference book is still sure to suit any need.
Popularity is calculated by comparing this book's number of views to our most commonly read book. Popularity is calculated by comparing this book's number of editions to the book with the largest number of editions.

This past November, members of the Executive Master of Public Administration 2010 cohort had the pleasure of visiting Hanoi, Hoi An and Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. The trip lasted seven days and provided the students with a number of valuable insights into the polity and challenges of the Vietnamese people.
In partnership with the Ho Chi Minh Academy of Politics and Public Administration, CPS delivered a custom and comprehensive international field experience centered on the development of new governance processes and structures, as well as new modes of leadership.
In addition, students spent time with staff at the Academy of Policy Development assisting in the development of a proposed Executive Masters of Public Policy degree for Vietnamese students.
Student reactions to the trip were overwhelmingly positive. Feedback commented on how the trip expanded their worldview of public process and how such experiences will influence their own growth and professional trajectory. One student reflected, "My journey through Vietnam has shifted my internal compass," while another said, "The trip exponentially expanded my 'box' of thinking." Such transformations, when combined with the other curriculum, illuminate the value of the program's field.
Previous cohorts have traveled to Lanzhou, China and Seoul, Korea. In Lanzhou, the students participated in the Government Performance Management and Leadership Conference. The focus of this conference was to actively engage in conversations around the creation of new performance measurement and evaluation systems.
While in Seoul, students were invited by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the University of Seoul to observe the city's public administration and public service processes, and to experience and understand the heart of Korea's politics, economy and culture during their stay in one of Asia's central cities.
CPS strongly believes in the field experiences, because students emerge as stronger administrators with a well-rounded understanding of the gravity of the problems they will encounter, while accruing a diverse array of tools with which to solve them.
Given the continued success, marked by the positive student responses, of the international field experiences, CPS is busy planning future trips and exploring further international partnerships.

Inspired by conversations on the FOOD52 Hotline, we're sharing tips and tricks that make navigating all of our kitchens easier and more fun. Today, we're talking enamel. And lucky for you, you can get the pretty pastel pots shown below by going here!
Pots and pans are essential. They're the building blocks of our kitchens, and of the food we cook in them. They help us through our most ingredient-heavy ragus and our simplest scrambled eggs alike. But not all pots are created equal. Some are better for making stocks, some for rouxs. Some are cast iron, some are enameled. Today, we're demystifying the latter.What Exactly is Enamel, Anyway?Here's the bare science of it: what you see coating common enamel pots is known as vitreous enamel, which is made by fusing melted glass particles to metal at high temperatures.
What matters in the kitchen is the resulting coating -- glassy and smooth and sometimes pastel -- which acts much like a tablecloth does: it protects what is underneath it (in this case, your pot), and more often than not, makes it prettier than it was before.
Reasons to Love It Enamel shrouds the underlying steel, preventing it from altering the flavor of your food. It's also a great heat conductor, and the colors added during the enameling process are easy on the eye. Who doesn't love a pot that you can match to your kitchen? How to Cook in ItThere aren't a whole lot of rules when it comes to cooking in enamel, so mostly, you can stir and simmer away at will. It's important to remember, though, that enamel is a bit too delicate for fast flashes of high heat. If you'd rather your pot live a long, healthy life, leave your intense searing for another pan in your arsenal. And, when starting your favorite stew, be sure the pot doesn't go empty too long on your heat source -- this could result in it boiling dry, which leads to a damaged coating.
The Suds Your cleanup will be short and sweet. The glassy coating of enameled pots makes cleaning them a snap -- all you'll need is hot, soapy water, a good rinse, and a thorough dry. It's standard issue. Be wary of leaving your pot submerged in water, though, as this can cause water to become trapped inside; trapped water creates a perfect storm for rusting. And no one wants that. Be Nice to Your Enamel Enamel may seem tough as nails, and it almost is, but it's not completely immune to chips. Be nice to your pots. Treat them like a part of your loving, kitchen family. Not dropping them goes without saying, but if by some stroke of evil you do get a chip, it's not the end of the world. Simply make sure to dry the bare spot carefully each time you wash to stave off rust. To protect against scratching, lean toward wooden spoons and away from steel wool.
And, last but not least, the tablecloth metaphor comes full circle: unfortunately, enamel can get mild stains from potent foods. (Beets, anyone?) If this happens, brush a quarter-sized amount of baking soda in your pan, and its original color will magically reappear. Have any tips for cooking with enamel that we didn't mention? Let us know in the comments!

Community Managers can make or break your Brand
I'm currently looking for a new mobile as my HTC I use for work is leaking memory (this is the second HTC mobile I have had that has developed exactly the same problem) and I wanted to know more about the new Samsung Galaxy S4.
Surfing a well known search engine I came across this article from PC Advisor "Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Apple iPhone 5 comparison review" written by Chris Martin, a staff writer at PC Advisor.
The article contains facts about some of the tests that were done by PC Advisor comparing the Samsung S4 to the iPhone 5, however once I had finished reading it I was left with a feeling that the article had a clear under tone of bias towards Apple. Reading it again and ignoring the writers biased under-tones, for me the Samsung S4 came out a fairly clear winner and yet the overall verdict was still in favour of the Apple iPhone5.
What I was expecting was an independent review from such a reputable brand as PC Advisor to help me make an informed decision, but instead I was left confused, frustrated and questioning the Brand's ability to be fair and transparent.
So I left a polite and humorous comment to the fact that I wonder if Chris Martin (the writer of the article) owns an iPhone 5 to which Matt Egan (PC Advisor Editor and star of this blog post) responded with the following comment:
From a community manager / editor representing a Brand I thought this response was a little strong and very provocative.
I then read other comments of the article left by consumers and I guess it wasn't surprising to see many had exactly the same opinion as myself that they felt this article was biased towards Apple. But what was surprising (well, more shocking) were some of Matt's responses to those comments:
...and I'm saving the best to last...
[Edited: The below comment was actually taken from a different article on PC Advisor]
If you are representing a Brand you just cannot behave in this way. Not only will you alienate your consumers but you are damaging the Brand. So here are my top tips on how to be a great Community Manager:
Top 10 Tips that make a Great Community Manager
- Remember you represent the Brand not yourself
- Always be polite and respectful to your consumers, even if you don't agree or like their comments
- Don't take comments personally
- Engage with those that leave comments and thank them for their insights and time
- Where people disagree or have an issue, politely find out any information you can that can help them and your Brand in the future
- Listen to what your consumers have to say and feedback to your Brand
- If comments are offensive, remove them. Public battles are not pleasant reading and ultimately damaging to your Brand
- Don't use foul or offensive language yourself
- Learn from the experts and other community practitioners. I highly recommend joining the #CmgrChat Twitter Chat community (co-founder Jenn Pedde) and listening into Tim McDonalds #cmgrhangout
- Remember you represent the Brand not yourself (repeated for effect)

A group of young men allegedly beat and robbed an 87-year-old World War II veteran near his home in Chicago, Ill. WMAQ's Natalie Martinez reports.
In Chicago, two teens and a man are in police custody after they allegedly jumped an 87-year-old World War II veteran and robbed him of his wallet, knocking out the man's hearing aid and busting his dentures in the process.
Two delivery men who witnessed the attack secretly followed the alleged attackers and guided police to them.
For more visit NBCChicago.com.
The trio, ages 15, 17 and 20, were arrested not far from where Porter Cross was kicked and robbed at West 71st Street and South Artesian Avenue.
"I'm outraged. I'm saddened. My heart hurts," Cross' daughter, Cynthia Steward-Jones, said Tuesday. "He served his country and worked for the post office for 36 years. Who could do something like this to an old person? Or anybody?"
Charged in the attack were Rashon Williams, 20, of Calumet City, Ill., and Michael Protho, 17, of Hazel Crest, Ill. Both were charged with robbery of a senior citizen. Protho was also charged with reckless conduct for trying to run into traffic in order to escape arrest, authorities said.
The 15-year-old, also charged with felony robbery, will be handled by juvenile authorities. Bond was set at $500,000 each for Williams and Protho.
"I got nothing to say to them," said Cross. "I feel sorry for them, but I want to know why would they do something like this to an old man."
Cross was treated at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn for several bruises and lacerations across his face.
Marta Omarr, who lives on the property where the beating took place, called the attack disgusting.
"I just thought it was awful for him to be 87 years old, birthday coming up Thursday, and for him to just be on a nice day, in broad daylight, to be walking to the store and to be attacked by these three animals," she added. "It's ridiculous."

Soap Fan Mystery Theatre Hosts Readings of Agatha Christie's UNEXPECTED GUEST & SPIDER'S WEB with Daytime TV Stars
Daytime TV's biggest stars will read Agatha Christie's tale THE UNEXPECTED GUEST on Saturday, February 20 and Sunday, February 21 at the Soap Fan Mystery Theatre.THE UNEXPECTED GUEST tells the story of what happens when Michael Starkwedder - the unexpected guest - accidentally drives his car into a ditch on a foggy night and wanders into a nearby house to use the phone. He discovers Laura Warwick (Stefanie Powers) standing over her dead husband's body holding a smoking gun. Together they hatch an alibi, but did she do it? With a houseful of suspects to choose from, Agatha Christie keeps the audience guessing "whodunnit" right up until the shocking climax.The production will feature Stefanie Powers as Laura Warwick. Powers is best known as Jennifer Hart in TV's classic "Hart to Hart" opposite Robert Wagner. She received two Emmy Award and five Golden Globe Best Actress nominations for this iconic role. On the big screen, has appeared in "Experiment in Terror," "Die, Die, My Darling," "The Boatnicks," and more. Her most recent stage appearances include, LOVE LETTERS with Robert Wagner, Anna in THE KING AND I in a UK and US tour, CINDERELLA in the UK, and an upcoming musical show ONE FROM THE HART. Vincent Irizarry will play the role of Michael Starkwelder. Irizarry won this year's Outstanding Supporting Actor Emmy Award for his role as villainous Dr. David Hayward on "All My Children." His first daytime television role was as Lujack in "The Guiding Light" for which he received a Daytime Emmy nomination. In 2006, prior to returning to "All My Children's" Pine Valley, he was the mysterious David Chow in "The Young and the Restless.""All My Children's" Adam Mayfield will play Henry Angell and Robert Newman will play Inspector Thomas. Newman was nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards and foud Soap Opera Digest awards for his role in "The Guiding Light." He also had a role in the off-Broadway musical SESSIONS.

Recent reviews
Very Good 8.2 From 467 reviews
Very nice stay. Only downside of the overall trip is that too many people are trying to squeeze money out of tourists. This is not the hotel, but almost everyone outside of there from taxi drivers to people in the street. The extent this happens is much higher than in other similar destinations like Thailand. And people become far more hostile if you don't want to buy their trinkets at the prices they want. In general hostility levels are higher towards foreigners than in most other holiday destinations. This is not the fault of the hotel though so we still give it full stars.
Hotel was ok. Pool needed a good cleaning and some minor maintance. Area is very crowded and everybody is trying to sell you something. Breakfast was amazing
If you want to party this is good hotel. If you enjoy big, noisy, and perfumed hotel, this is for you. Our family chose the hotel because of the amazing pictures of the pool, but upon arrival we were very disappointed. The water slide hurt to ride down and the noise level and amount of people in the breakfast restaurant made us look for other hotels even though we couldn't get a refund. What made us stay was finding the Rock Royalty area that's more calm and secluded. We paid to get upgraded for two days and stayed to that area. We were in a loft room and the worst part was the constant spraying of perfume in the hallways that gave us a massive headache. The hotel has a strong Las Vegas feel to it which might be what you want, but we found it too dark and sparkly for our taste. Maybe the problem was that we just arrived from the Hilton Resort in Nusa Dua which is levels above this hotel. It was our first time in Bali and after 18 days traveling around, we learned that Kuta Beach is not for us. The city is noisy and smelly. There are much better places in Bali. But again, if you're there to drink and party, this might be perfect for you.
Bali has amazing hotels - and at the price point... In Bali... You will get oppulance, so why come to another country to be in an American hotel with high prices? Honestly there was nothing special about this hotel for young couples - if you have kids the place has a wonderful pool. KUTA in general is not the best place to enjoy the beach and Bali
This hotel is for children, or parents with children. If you are anyone else, DO NOT STAY THERE. It is in the worst part of Bali, the most downtown tourist trap with not even that great of a beach. But that is not the problem with the hotel. The problem with the hotel is, every single thing about it is designed for children. Here was our experience, we checked into a normal room, which cost more than an entire 4 bedroom villa in other parts of Bali. And our room was directly over a jungle gym playground, which meant that at 6AM we woke up to screaming children and there parents running down our hallway, as well as kids screaming on the playground right below our balcony. Our first night there, the AC was not working and we called the front desk so they sent a technician up to fix it, who worked on a ladder in our bathroom until after midnight, we ended up sleeping in a 78 degree sweat box. After complaining again in the morning, they relocated us to a much better room with a working AC which was nice but it just got worse from there. My motorcycle got moved one night and somehow the carb got half way removed which I had to spend half the day getting the engine repaired because someone moved the bike without my knowledge. At the pool you can get the most expensive beers on the island, and if your not a child, then sorry you are not allowed on the slides. but don't worry, they will have parties and games and a foam party for the kids, but you can't. Buffet was alright thats it.

Well, don't despair, fine purveyor of emoticons. There is now a solution: "Recently Used Emoji" in Gmail Labs, which keeps track of the ten most recent emoticons you've used, and saves them for easy access. To turn it on, just visit the Labs tab of Gmail Settings.

Malloy, hospitals at odds over funding
HARTFORD -- In white lab coats and blue nurses' scrubs, hundreds of medical professionals from throughout the state joined hospital administrators and lobbyists Thursday, trying to prevent a two-year, $550-million reduction in aid.
During a "Connecticut Hospital Day" lobbying campaign, they warned of possible layoffs to make up the difference.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, in response, said that funding has increased sharply for hospitals in recent years and that they should consider reducing the salaries of top hospital administrators, some of whom get paid millions of dollars a year.
Patrick Charmel, president and CEO of Griffin Hospital in Derby, said that his facility stands to lose $6 million under the governor's budget proposal. He charged that the governor essentially proposed a 55 percent tax on hospitals, at a time when the corporate tax is only 7.5 percent.
"It's been said that hospitals can absorb these cuts, but given the hospital margins in Connecticut are already inadequate to generate sufficient capital to replace aging plants and equipment and to invest in new medical and information technology, the only way hospitals can absorb these cuts is to increase revenue or decrease operating costs," Charmel said.
He said that companies cannot afford higher insurance premiums, so more uninsured patients are using hospitals such as Griffin, as the state continues to transition toward the federal Affordable Care Act. He said the hospital has cut 80 jobs over the last two years and reduced their pension plan benefits.
Andy Hull, a registered nurse at Danbury Hospital, who three years ago foiled a gunman and was wounded in the facility, warned that budget cuts will first affect those in the community who need the care the most.
"There's one thing we can all count on," he said. "We will be sick at some point and we will need health care. It's our communities that are going to be impacted. Jobs will be lost. More people will go on Affordable Care and resources will be taken away from the nurses at the bedside."
In a crowded morning news conference in the Legislative Office Building, during which one person keeled over in the hot, standing-room-only crush, minority Republican lawmakers suggested that Malloy renegotiate the contract with state unions, or cease infrastructure projects to save money, rather than harm hospitals.
State Rep. Vincent J. Candelora, R-North Branford, warned that behavioral health and mental health services will be the programs that hospitals will first cut back and that the governor should reopen the state employee deal.
Sen. Anthony Guglielmo, R-Stafford Springs, said that the state should be less ambitious in other expenditures. "And we don't need to be doing economic development," he said, adding that the planned New Britain-to-Hartford bus way could be shortened to save money.
In all, four state lawmakers, three Republicans and one Democrat, attended the news conference.
But Malloy, who proposed the change in his pending budget, said that he needs to flat-fund hospitals after years of increased state funding.
"We're not actually cutting," Malloy said outside the Capitol. "We're paying $1.7 billion this year. We're going to pay $1.7 billion next year. We're going to pay $1.7 billion the year after. What's happened is hospitals have gotten used to a 24 percent increase in funding per year and we can't afford it. So in essence what they're saying is they want me to raise taxes and I'm not going to do it."
When asked how hospitals can save some money, Malloy said their boards should consider their top pay costs.
"They might want to start with some of the presidents' salaries first," he said outside the Capitol. "Many of these folks are making in excess of $2 million, Many of them more than $1 million."
According to a 2011 annual report, Charmel, the Griffin Hospital executive, was paid $423,189 that year, plus $66,569 in fringe benefits.

Subject description: ShepherdPup - 2nd Generation Evangelism CD
UPDATE: 07/024/11 Now based on Wary 5.1.2
I am please to publicly announce the release of our latest version of ShepherdPup Linux.
This third anniversary edition of ShepherdPup Linux is a self contained freely distributable derivative of Puppy Linux featuring the all new pBiblx2 - Field Wise Bible System
complete with the many Christian resource materials that we are currently using and developing in our own daily ministries. It is an excellent starting point for you to add your own persnal additions too as well.
From it's very conception, ShepherdPup has been developed to stand out from other bible software by following this simple motto "It's meant to be given". This new edition takes the concept of bible sharing to even greater depths. You are welcome to use and modify it as your outreach efforts in the Lord see fit.
More details and a functional on line "live demo" of the pBiblx2 CGI is available at:
as well as downloads.

Subject description: Lupu5.0 Bug
Not sure why yet, but, pBiblx2 on Hiawatha 6.17 in Lupu5.0 won't write to disk.
Thought it might be directory permissions, thought it might be the 'AlterMode' config option in hiawatha.conf, even re-wrote part of code to eliminate use of Post Method. Despite my efforts, I've not yet been able to tackle this bug.
Bug effects the saving of tags and notes. Same CGI works perfectly in 4.3.1 Shep and PupEEE on Hiawatha and even Apache.
Any ideas?

Subject description: Bug Fix
The Lucid version of ShepherdPup2 is now fixed and updated to Lupu 5.0.1.
Now I would like to reduce the size of the beta release by moving several apps to quickpet. Would like to add a few more Gui tools like a dual monitor config/select app and try to link up some Christian Ubuntu apps before the Shep2 final. Target size will be back to 130megs(?).

Subject description: 1 Server + 5 Desktops for study group
Added 7/6/2010 - Edit /etc/hiawatha/hiawatha.conf to comment out
#Interface = 127.0.0.1
then restart hiawatha.
1. On the same LAN behind a standard IP assigning router:
One computer is cold booted with the ShepherdPup CD. IP address is assigned by your router when you use the Internet Connection Wizard. The other 5 machines point their web browser to the Shep address (example http://192.168.0.100/pbiblx2). No additional setup.
2. From outside of your LAN:
Cold boot ShepherdPup CD and use Internet Connection Wizard. If behind a router, open the router's firewall to accept incoming http on port 80 and forward port 80 requests to the IP address of the Shep machine. If not behind a router/firewall point outside browsers to Shep's IP direct. If behind router's firewall, point outside browsers to router's IP.
3. From outside of your LAN using Dynamic Domain Services:
I've been using DYNDNS.com (others available) to register a free domain name (myopenbible.homeip.net). Whenever my Shep machine is moved, I simply update my dynamic IP address with their Static domain name and get instant Website. Very handy for a more permanently available study server.
EDIT: /root/Web-Server/pbiblx2/pbiblx.conf.pl variable $my_HOST to reflect your domain name.
Hope this helps! Let me know how your study goes!

Subject description: Supplemental Manual
Work has begun on a supplemental manual focusing on using pBiblx2 in conjunction with other pets and apps, a sort of building block approach to bigger and better evangelical uses.
The first entry in this series is regarding public presentation projections using NoteCase/Seamonkey/pBIblx2/xrandr. This building block approach produces a capable feature rich projection package with all components resident on a stock Shep CD.
This manual is being authored in NoteCase and is also available in its original ncd format for first hand trial.

Subject description: Upcoming Release
Contrary to the rumors you've heard, Shep is alive and well.
ShepherdPupLinux is preparing for it's next major update early February 2011.
Many enhancements have been made to the pBiblx2 bible server just released 01/12/11. Changes that allow for a lot more component level access to key resources. The effort now is implementing these resources seamlessly across the entire desktop.
So many new features that pBiblx2 is nearly a desktop in itself.
Some new artwork, new content, new cloud features. It's very exciting I must say.
Stay tuned!!!

I downloaded the third anniversary version today and ran it on my Thinkpad z61t laptop. I set the wired internet connection and wanted to try the Hiawatha web server. I had to look around to find the pbiblx-admin control. Its at /my-applications/bin/pbiblx_2shelf/Apps. I started the admin and commented out the line interface=127.0.0.1. Then I used IPInfo to get the ip address of my laptop then i went over to the office desktop on my network, typed in 192.168.*.*/pbiblx2 and bam - there was Pbiblx on my desktop. Now I will try to setup this system at my church and school in September. Thanks for all your hard work.

The "Share Hiawatha Live" option essentially does what you were able to figure out manually. You're right, the Admin GUI used to be in the personal menu and is now in the pBiblx2_shelf.
Admin is a work in progress, I'd appreciate any idea's on what best it should do to be useful.
If you get registered with a domain name like a free one from DynDNS let me know and I'll list you in our seed community.
P.S - I am looking into domain names for our seeds perhaps being provided on ShepherdPupLinux's web host that way I could script the process. Something like YOURNAME.shepherdpuplinux.us

Post subject: can not connect to pbiblx2
I've ran into a problem. I did a frigal install on an old Dell Optiplex GX110 that I use as a server. It is running PupServer 435. I did a frugal install, brought up ShepherdPup and configured it the same way I did for my laptop test. When i put in the ip address of the computer I get this message - Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1.. If i backspace out /pbiblx2 I get Pbiblx2 Study frame 1000x600 - 404 - not found. See picture. Could it be the amount of ram I have on the server? It Is 137MB.

Post subject: 404 error
I have not attempted a frugal install yet with this edition, but my first inclination is that you will need to "chown -R webuser:webgroup pbiblx2/www". It seems that if you are seeing the picture and the empty page frames but not the content, you are just that close. If not, I would check the /var/log/hiawatha/error.log for the full error description.
Let us know what you find.

Alcohol is apparently an addictive drug to millions of people. When this is finally part of our kid's education, it might cut back on the number of alcoholics we have to worry about.
I do not want another government prohibition issued by the do-gooders but can only hope we pass this information down to the next generation.
Again, if it works, and keeps people from ruining their lives, is it still evil?
[quote author="Ellecram"]For the last 18 months I have been involved in several online groups that discuss the cult aspects and subsequent harm caused by coerced (and chosen) involvement in AA/NA or any of the 12 step model groups prevalent in addiction treatment.
The basic premise is that AA et al are religious organizations and are minimally effective support groups.
Nope—I'm VERY familiar with them. They believe that spiritualism can heal their problems—their "higher power" can be anything of their choosing.

Family: wife Robin, four children � three grown
Award: Small Business of the Year
Business: Dingle�s Transport
To call Dingle�s Transport: 252-643-4258
A Lenoir County resident is the first recipient of a statewide award for a person with disabilities overcoming extreme challenges, building a business plan and operating a successful business.
Timothy Dingle, who moved to Lenoir County in 1997, received the Small Business of the Year award through the N.C. Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services for his business, Dingle�s Transport.
�Mr. Dingle was selected for this award,� said Robin Shaw, counselor in charge in the Kinston DVRS office, �due to his willingness to work through the challenges of creating a small business plan, completing all of the federal and state regulations to operate a small business and having a plan which is helping him work towards self-sufficiency.�
Because of a disability, Dingle had found himself jobless, with no money and living out of his car. He made a little money selling scrap metal and cars to salvage yards.
He began working with Shaw and took classes through Lenoir Community College�s Small Business Center.
He was one of about 170 people around the state to begin the process of owning a business, and one of 24 of that group to be approved for the program.
Through a rigorous process of developing a business plan and running a successful business, he became one of seven finalists.
In March, Dingle was named as the sole recipient of the award at a legislative breakfast held in Raleigh. He was not able to attend, but received a plaque on March 20.
�I was shocked,� Dingle said, �but I think the biggest reason I got the award was because I didn�t quit. I met every adversity, whatever the case may be, head-on. I didn�t let anything stop me.�
Craig Lawrence, NCDVRS� small business specialist, said an advisory committee in Raleigh reviewed each candidate�s circumstances looking for whoever overcame the most challenges.
�(Dingle) was the unanimous choice by the committee,� Lawrence said. �� He showed resourcefulness, intelligence and determination.�
Through a revision two years ago of NCDVRS� self-employment policy for people with disabilities, the standards became more rigorous to meet, Lawrence said.
Dingle said going through each step of the process took a long time, and he had to redo his projected figures several times.
�Because of my disability,� he said, �I have to work by myself.�
Dingle experienced a severe head injury at 5 years old and his father brought him to a hospital in Washington, D.C.
�I remember it as clear as yesterday,� he said, �my dad standing with a handkerchief over my face, and it was bleeding, arguing with someone about accepting me into the hospital. They wouldn�t accept me because of the color of my skin.�
Dingle experienced a couple of other head injuries later in life. He joined the U.S. Army, but didn�t stay but 90 days. He was discharged honorably, but without benefits, he said.
�What I need to do is to keep myself out of stressful situations � get away from it,� he said. Today, he is focused on his family, including his 7-year-old son who he said is his �biggest inspiration,� and his business.
Dingle has traveled as far as Havelock and Raleigh to pick up scrap metal and cars. His biggest challenge, he said, has been having enough cash to pay his expenses. NCDVRS assisted with purchasing trailers and equipment.
His assets include honest work and building trust with people. Picking up junk cars at the agreed-upon time is important to him, he said.
Dingle scans neighborhoods looking for salvageable cars and knocks on doors or leaves his business card. Ultimately, he hopes to offer employment to someone who has faced challenges like he has.
�My goal is not only to support myself and my family, but at some point in the future I would like to expand to help someone else in the Vocational Rehabilitation program.�

Why does the TV industry need to keep Web video off your big-screen TV? Not because it hates technology. But because it hasn't figured out how to make money off Web video yet -- and needs you to keep watching TV on your TV.
NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker all but admitted as much in a keynote this morning: "What we've lost in viewers and advertising dollars on the analog side isn't being made up for at all on the digital side. We want to find an economic model that makes sense."
That's exactly why, for the last few weeks, software startup Boxee has had to play a cat-and-mouse with Hulu, the Web video site owned by NBC and Fox.
Hulu, ordered by its parent companies, keeps blocking Boxee's Web video viewing software from accessing its videos. And Boxee keeps sneaking around the blockade.
Boxee even has a Twitter account set up with the latest status. As of Monday, Hulu was "not working properly" -- "seems to stop playing after a few minutes." It's gone back and forth about ten times.
Why is this war even necessary? Because Hulu's parents don't want Hulu viewers watching Hulu videos anywhere near a TV set.
Watching Hulu on a computer/Web browser is a fine, if unprofitable experiment for the media companies. But letting people get in the habit of watching that money-losing video on a TV set -- that's trouble. And that's Boxee's problem because Boxee makes it very easy to watch Web video -- including Hulu -- on a TV, either via a laptop or Mac mini (now with iPhone remote control software) or an Apple TV set-top box.
Meanwhile, NBC and Fox only get paid when you watch the TV shows on TV or cable, which gets them Nielsen ratings and subscriber fees. Internet revenues from the likes of Hulu are puny. So they can't afford to lose viewers to Web video shows on TV when they need them to be watching TV shows on TV. That's the gist of Zucker's quote.
Longer term, this anti-customer strategy will fail. (See: Music industry v. Internet.) But perhaps it saves the networks a few years, and could open more opportunities for the cable industry to build up their on-demand content and technologies so that subscribers at least keep feeding the monster $80 a month.

UPDATE: Swingers Unite - Golf (And Rugby) Reinstated By IOC For 2016 Games
October 9, 2009: Tiger Woods earns more than $90 million a year in endorsements, has won 14 major golf tournaments and more than 70 tournaments overall as a professional, but the International Olympic Committee has the power to give Woods an opportunity he has yet to achieve — win an Olympic gold medal.
Both golf and rugby sevens now have golden futures as they have been voted by the International Olympic Committee for inclusion beginning with the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. The two sports had been recommended by the IOC Executive Board in August following an extensive evaluation by the Olympic Programme Commission of the seven sports seeking to enter the program. Golf was last seen in the Olympics during the 1900 Games in Paris and the 1904 Games in St. Louis.
"Both golf and rugby are very popular sports with global appeal and a strong ethic," IOC President Jacques Rogge, who also was elected to another term, said in a statement. "They will be great additions to the Games."
Both sports needed to receive a majority of votes from the 106 IOC members taking part in the process. Golf was approved 63-27 with two abstentions. Rugby was voted in 81-8 with one abstention. Golf will have a 72-hole stroke-play tournament to include the world's top ranked men and women golfers at the thime, with 60 players in each field. They are the first new sports added since triathlon and taekwondo joined the program for the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Padraig Harrington and Michelle Wie addressed the IOC in person before the vote. Tiger Woods made a video presentation.
"There is absolutely no question that adding golf to the Olympics would be great for the sport and a great addition to the Games," said Karen Durkin, CEO of the Women's Sports Foundation and a former evp and CMO for the LPGA. "It not only would help golf grow around the world for generations to come, it would be a strong partner to the sports already represented at the Olympics."
Golf and rugby already had cleared numerous hurdles just to get to this point, having been recommended this past August by the IOC's executive board for reinstatement voting while baseball, softball karate, squash and roller sports failed to make the cut.
Woods himself has been a strong proponent for golf's Olympic status, and members of the IOC who are convening in Copenhagen will see the him on videotape extolling the game's virtues and importance to the global sports community. A key selling point: Woods has promised to be part of the U.S. golf team and play in the Olympics in 2016, adding with a smile in a recent comment, "if I'm not retired by then." Woods would be 40 and still a strong contender to make the squad.
Two more key selling points to reinstatement: The sport's representative associations have said that the top golfers at the time would play in the Olympics, and also that tournament schedules would be adjusted so as not to conflict with the Summer Games. Under a current proposal, the world's top 15 ranked players in both the men's and women's fields at the time would be eligible for the Olympics, with 15 other top-ranked men and 15 other top-ranked women also eligible, with selections dependent on which country they would represent.
Golf icons Jack Nicklaus and Annika Sorenstam have been working as official global ambassadors, helping to present a unified front under the auspices of the International Golf Federation, which is recognized by the IOC as the sport's representative group. Among golf's other high-profile Olympic supporters are two-time US Open champion Padraig Harrington and LPGA star Michelle Wie, who flew to Copenhagen as part of a golf contingent to speak with IOC voters. "I'm really excited and I feel really honored that I got chosen to go over there," Wie told reporters. "Hopefully, golf will be part of the Olympics. If that happens, I think it would be the greatest thing that could ever happen to golf . . . it would be the highest achievement for any golfer, or for any athlete, to be part of the Olympics."
Although not beholding to his opinion, IOC president Jacques Rogge said in a statement in August after golf and rugby were approved for reinstatement voting, "Golf and rugby [wold] be a great additions to the Olympics."

Android 1.5, Are You Ready? Cupcake Is Baked, Almost!
Android 1.5
Android 1.5, based on the Android cupcake, that we spoke about the cupcake upgrade, wrote and captured early cupcake screens, has been released for developers to take a taste. The new Android version introduces APIs for features such as soft keyboards, home screen widgets, live folders, and speech recognition.
You can download the download the developer early adaption Android 1.5 SDK, from the developer site.
There are also information on upgrading current development platform and introduction to what's new, also ready anyone interested.
As far as User interface is concerned there are many additions and improvments like system wide refinement of all core UI elements, animated window transitions which are off by default and provisions for accelerometer-based application rotations are prominent.
The System also get s a new Linux kernel, 2.6.27 and general system performance impovments like faster GPS aquisition and speedier camera setup and image capture which is also related to Video recording and playback features.
But the most interesting part is for developers, to whom this release is intended for. The Android developer tools and the structure of the SDK, themselves have under gone changes but for better. To quote Android Blog, (Find the link below) "Future Android SDK releases will include multiple versions of the Android platform. For example, this early-look includes Android platform versions 1.1 and 1.5. One benefit of this change is that developers can target different Android platform versions from within a single SDK installation. Another is that it enables developers to install Android SDK add-ons to access extended functionality that might be provided by OEMs, carriers, or other providers. We at Google are using this feature ourselves: this early-look SDK includes an add-on for the Google APIs. This add-on provides support for the Google Maps API, which was previously embedded in the "core" SDK."
While all developers are encouraged to use, test and get familier with the new early look, it is reminded that Android 1.5 APIs have not been finalised.
Hope all will become happy Androids, and creative developers!

NEW YORK -- The daughter of former New York Yankees manager Joe Torre is getting props from her dad for catching a baby boy who had tumbled off a second-floor fire escape in Brooklyn.
Torre said in a statement Wednesday that he was "very proud of my daughter Cristina's actions today during an incident in Brooklyn involving a small child."
Torre is now Major League Baseball's executive vice president of baseball operations.
"I didn't really know what was going to happen. ... You just move into action -- you don't really think about it," Cristina Torre told the Daily News of New York.
She was having coffee at a cupcake shop when bystanders saw the 1-year-old dangling from an awning of a frozen yogurt store next door.
"I'm talking to him saying, 'Don't come down, stay there,'" she said. "He helped himself with his arms. He was dangling. I knew he would be flipping very soon."
She said the child "literally landed in my arms." Torre credited her father for her "good hand-eye coordination."
According to police, the child somehow climbed onto the fire escape. He was in stable condition.
The parents were arrested and charged with reckless endangerment.

Well, I'm headed off to Europe again for the 18-hour-a-day annual schmoozefest known as "Davos" (with a prior stop in Munich for DLD).
The folks who run Davos, the World Economic Forum, have been kind enough to stick me on a couple of panels this year--so I can bloviate to world leaders.
I would prefer not to make an ass of myself in front of world leaders, so I would be grateful for a little help.
One of the topics I've been asked to bloviate about this year is "What Are The Big Stories Of 2013?"
In other words, what will we in the news media be obsessed with over the next 12 months?
Well, I'm in the news media, and I can tell you that I haven't the faintest idea what we're going to be obsessed with, and I won't know until we get obsessed with it.
But I can't say that to the world leaders.
(The world leaders are paying good money to sit there and listen to me bloviate, so I need to do better than that.)
So please help me think of some good candidates for the "big stories of 2013."
I'll start off with a couple of ideas. Please add some more in the comments below.
* INEQUALITY: THE WORLD'S MIDDLE CLASS GETS MAD AS HELL AND REFUSES TO TAKE IT ANYMORE. The world's richer are getting richer and the world's middle class and poor are getting the shaft. This story has been going on for years now, ever since the labor-vs.-capital pendulum swung too far in favor of "capital" and all fo the good middle class jobs got shipped off to China, India, and other countries where people are eager to work much harder than Americans for much less money. You can't blame companies for taking advantage of this massive labor pool, and the folks in China, India, et al, have as much right to work as anyone else does. But the upshot is that all the income gains in America and some other developed countries are going to the top ~5% of wage-earners and everyone else is losing ground. That's not a trend that will lead to peace, harmony, and prosperity.
* APPLE BECOMES AVERAGE: Over the past decade, Apple has risen from the ashes to become the world's most beloved and valuable companies. Now, however, with the loss of Steve Jobs, Apple is losing its product edge, and the stock is starting to sell off. This year will usher in what will truly be the "post-Steve Jobs era" for Apple. And depending on how this year goes, Apple will demonstrate that it is capable of continue to be transcendent in Steve's absence...or it will gradually slip into just becoming another good company.
Other ideas? Thank you in advance.

I am a little too old to be a Millennial, but FWIW like many I live in an apartment in a city.
The kayak and SUP rental places on the river are jammed on a nice summer weekend. I mean hundreds of people (yes they have that many kayaks).
However owning a boat is pretty close to a ridiculous thing for me. Two weeks ago I was seriously considering buying a pretty nice used CLC Skerry on a trailer for a good price. Then I checked the ONLY marina where you can keep a sailboat that is within an hour drive (yes it can take an hour to drive 10 miles around here): $1200/year in the yard on the trailer, dry stored boats are launched and retrieved over the bulkhead with a crane and sling apparatus. I doubt I'm going to drive an hour each way to go on 12 sails this summer: going out once a week would be a lucky year. Not going to buy a small wooden boat or any boat.
I can't keep one in the driveway. I don't have a driveway. I can't park a boat on the street. The fine for parking a boat or trailer on the street in D.C. is: $1,000. Seriously!
Around here boats are for people with idle money, time, or suburban driveways. A lot of us water rats (Millennial or not) will be renting kayaks or shells and going on group sails with the local sailing club. I love small boats, I built a couple that I no longer own. Having a sailboat in a city... sounds nice.

Syntax for explicit type and kind application
We propose a replacement for lexically-scoped type variables (and pattern signatures) that is
more clear and direct by introducing syntax for explicit type (and kind)
application. The proposed concrete syntax is
@ tyvar, like in the following example:
case x of (C @a y z) -> ....
On the right-hand side we would have the type variable
a in scope for use on
any type signatures.
Note how the use of the symbol
@ is (in this case) unproblematic; we can
use the fact that constructors always start with an uppercase letter to distinguish
whether the
@ refers to an "as pattern" or to a type application:
case x of p@(C @a y z) -> ....
Unfortunately this is not always the case; see below.
Note that this proposal would not allow pattern matching on specific types: the only thing that we can match on are type or kind variables. However, it does allow for specifying what type to apply:
id @Int 2
The idea is to provide access to the explicit types in the core language (system FC-pro) directly from the source language syntax.
How many arguments, and their order
When we have multiple variables we can pattern match on as many as we need, and also use underscores:
f (C @_ @b x ) = ...
If the user gave a type signature for the binding, it is very easy to see which type patterns relate to which variables in the signature. In the absence of a signature, though, there are two possible choices:
- Reject matching on type variables altogether.
- Take the inferred signature, look at the introduced variables syntactically from left to right, and use that order. This approach does not require tracking which bindings were given type signatures or not.
A problem with taking the inferred signature is that it is tied to many assumptions, including that of principal types. [Dimitrios: Can you expand on this?]
Parsing matters
Consider a problematic example:
f :: Int -> forall a. a f n @a = ....
In this case it is really ambiguous what the pattern means. For these cases we suggest the following workaround:
f :: Int -> forall a. a (f n) @a = ....
This approach should work in general, and hopefully only few programs will actually need to use it.
Syntax for promoted datatypes
-XPolyKinds on, we can also match/apply kind arguments. This introduces the
need to disambiguate between a datatype and the promoted kind it introduces.
Consider the example:
data X = X f :: forall (a : k). .... ... = ... f @'Nat @Nat ...
Since now it is not clear from the context anymore if we are expecting a kind
or a type (since we want to use
@ both for kind and type application), we need to be
able to disambiguate between datatypes and their corresponding promoted kinds.
At the moment this ambiguity does not arise, so we do not allow prefixing
kinds with
', but it seems natural to lift this restriction, and use the
same notation as for promoted data constructors.
More examples
Impredicative instantiation
This extension also allows for clear impredicative instantiation. For instance,
the application of the list constructor
(:) @(forall a. a -> a) means
the constructor of type
(forall a. a -> a) -> [forall a. a -> a] -> [forall a. a -> a].
Type/kind instantiation in classes
With the new kind-polymorphic
Typeable class, we can recover the old
kind-specific classes by writing, for example:
type Typeable1 = Typeable @(* -> *)
