An Example of func_odbc ................................ 551 Index ........................................................ 557 x | Table of Contents Foreword Once upon a time, there was a boy ...with a computer ...and a phone. This simple beginning begat much trouble! It wasn’t that long ago that telecommunications, both voice and data, as well as soft- ware, were all proprietary products and services, controlled by one select club of companies that created the technologies, and another select club of companies who used the products to provide services. By the late 1990s, data telecommunications had been opened by the expansion of the Internet. Prices plummeted. New and innovative technologies, services, and companies emerged. Meanwhile, the work of free software pioneers like Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, and countless others was culminating in the creation of a truly open software platform called Linux (or GNU/Linux). How- ever, voice communications, ubiquitous as they were, remained proprietary. Why? Perhaps it was because voice on the old public telephone network lacked the glamor and promise of the shiny new World Wide Web. Or, perhaps it was because a telephone just wasn’t as effective at supplying adult entertainment. Whatever the reason, one thing was clear. Open source voice communications was about as widespread as open source copy protection software. Necessity (and in some cases simply being cheap) is truly the mother of invention. In 1999, having started Linux Support Services to offer free and commercial technical support for Linux, I found myself in need (or at least in perceived need) of a phone system to assist me in providing 24-hour technical support. The idea was that people would be able to call in, enter their customer identity, and leave a message. The system

  • Jupyter Reference Guide
    – 1 – Nicholas Bowman, Sonja Johnson-Yu, Kylie Jue Handout #15 CS 106AP August 5, 2019 Jupyter Reference Guide This handout goes over the basics of Jupyter notebooks, including how to install Jupyter, launch a notebook, and run its cells. Jupyter notebooks are a common tool used across different disciplines for exploring and displaying data, and they also make great interactive explanatory tools. Installing Jupyter To install Jupyter, run the following command inside your Terminal (replace python3 with ​ py if you’re using a Windows device): ​ $ python3 -m pip install jupyter Launching a notebook A Jupyter notebook is a file that ends in the extension .ipynb, which stands for ​ ​ “interactive Python notebook.” To launch a Python notebook after you’ve installed ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Jupyter, you should first navigate to the directory where your notebook is located (you’ll be there by default if you’re using the PyCharm terminal inside a project). Then run the following command inside your Terminal (if this doesn’t work, see the “Troubleshooting” section below): $ jupyter notebook This should open a window in your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.) that looks like Figure 1. Jupyter shows the files inside the current directory and allows you to click on any Python notebook files within that folder. Figure 1: After running the jupyter notebook command, you should see a window that ​ ​ ​ lists the Python notebooks inside the current directory from which you ran the command. The picture above shows the Lecture 25 directory. – 2 – To launch a particular notebook, click on its file name. This should open a new tab with the notebook.

  • How the Past Affects the Future: the Story of the Apostrophe1
    HOW THE PAST AFFECTS THE FUTURE: THE STORY OF THE APOSTROPHE1 Christina Cavella and Robin A. Kernodle I. Introduction The apostrophe, a punctuation mark which “floats above the line, symbolizing something missing in the text” (Battistella, 1999, p. 109), has been called “an unstable feature of written English” (Gasque, 1997, p. 203), “the step-child of English orthography” (Barfoot, 1991, p. 121), and “an entirely insecure orthographic squiggle” (Barfoot, 1991, p. 133). Surely the apostrophe intends no harm; why then the controversy and apparent emotionalism surrounding it? One major motivation for investigating the apostrophe is simply because it is so often misused. A portion of the usage problem can perhaps be attributed to the chasm dividing spoken and written language, as the apostrophe was originally intended to indicate missing letters, which may or may not have actually been enunciated. To understand what has been called “the aberrant apostrophe,” (Crystal, 1995, p. 203) and the uncertainty surrounding its usage, an examination of its history is essential, for it is this “long and confused” (Crystal, 1995, p. 203) history that is partially responsible for the modern-day misuses of the apostrophe. This paper will trace the history of the apostrophe, examining the purpose(s) for which the apostrophe has been utilized in the past as well as presenting its current use. An overview of contemporary rules of usage is then included, along with specific examples of apostrophe misuse and a recommendation on how to teach apostrophe usage to non- native speakers of English. Finally, an attempt is made to predict the apostrophe’s future.

  • The Luacode Package
    The luacode package Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard <[email protected]> v1.2a 2012/01/23 Abstract Executing Lua code from within TEX with \directlua can sometimes be tricky: there is no easy way to use the percent character, counting backslashes may be hard, and Lua comments don’t work the way you expect. This package provides the \luaexec command and the luacode(*) environments to help with these problems, as well as helper macros and a debugging mode. Contents 1 Documentation1 1.1 Lua code in LATEX...................................1 1.2 Helper macros......................................3 1.3 Debugging........................................3 2 Implementation3 2.1 Preliminaries......................................4 2.2 Internal code......................................5 2.3 Public macros and environments...........................7 3 Test file 8 1 Documentation 1.1 Lua code in LATEX For an introduction to the most important gotchas of \directlua, see lualatex-doc.pdf. Before presenting the tools in this package, let me insist that the best way to manage a non- trivial piece of Lua code is probably to use an external file and source it from Lua, as explained in the cited document. \luadirect First, the exact syntax of \directlua has changed along version of LuaTEX, so this package provides a \luadirect command which is an exact synonym of \directlua except that it doesn’t have the funny, changing parts of its syntax, and benefits from the debugging facilities described below (1.3).1 The problems with \directlua (or \luadirect) are mainly with TEX special characters. Actually, things are not that bad, since most special characters do work, namely: _, ^, &, $, {, }. Three are a bit tricky but they can be managed with \string: \, # and ~.

  • Trademarks 10 Things You Should Know to Protect Your Product and Business Names
    Trademarks 10 things you should know to protect your product and business names 1. What is a trademark? A trademark is a brand name for a product. It can be a word, phrase, logo, design, or virtually anything that is used to identify the source of the product and distinguish it from competitors’ products. More than one trademark may be used in connection with a product; for example, COCA-COLA® and DIET COKE® are both trademarks for beverages. A trademark represents the goodwill and reputation of a product and its source. Its owner has the right to prevent others from trading on that goodwill by using the same or a similar trademark on the same or similar products in a way that is likely to cause confusion as to the source, origin, or sponsorship of the products. A service mark is like a trademark, except it is used to identify and distinguish services rather than products. For example, the “golden arches” mark shown below is a service mark for restaurant services. The terms “trademark” and “mark” are often used interchangeably to refer to either a trademark or service mark. 2. How should a mark be used? Trademarks must be used properly to maintain their value. Marks should be used as adjectives, but not as nouns or verbs. 4 | knobbe.com For example, when referring to utilizing the FACEBOOK® website, do not say that you “Facebooked” or that you were “Facebooking.” To prevent loss of trademark or service mark rights, the generic name for the product should appear after the mark, and the mark should appear visually different from the surrounding text.
