An optional set of nonlinear keys that iSAM2 will re-eliminate, regardless of the size of the linear delta.
This allows the provided keys to be reordered.
| bool gtsam::ISAM2UpdateParams::forceFullSolve {false} |
By default, iSAM2 uses a wildfire update scheme that stops updating when the deltas become too small down in the tree.
This flagg forces a full solve instead.
| boost::optional<FastMap<FactorIndex, KeySet> > gtsam::ISAM2UpdateParams::newAffectedKeys {boost::none} |
An optional set of new Keys that are now affected by factors, indexed by factor indices (as returned by ISAM2::update()).
Use when working with smart factors. For example:
i
: ISAM2::update() called with a new smart factor depending on Keys X(0)
and X(1)
. It returns that the factor index for the new smart factor (inside ISAM2) is 13
.i+1
: The same smart factor has been augmented to now also depend on Keys X(2)
, X(3)
. Next call to ISAM2::update() must include its newAffectedKeys
field with the map 13 -> {X(2), X(3)}
.


The data type parent can be used to read an element in the hierarchy of the page. The attribute d-dataValue will be used to search the first parent with attributes begining with its value. If the d-dataValue is not present, the first parent will be used.
Simple Example:
In this case the storage item internal will be created as an object with 2 properties inside it. That is levels with value of 0 and children with the value 1
You can use d-dataLoadType equals to reference when you need that all mustaches must be evaluated recursively.
Recursive Example:
In this case the storage item internal will be created as an object with 2 properties inside it. That is levels with value of 2 and children with the value 5

sponge
`Prev `__

--------------
**sponge**: n.
[Unix] A special case of a `*filter* <../F/filter.html>`__ that reads
its entire input before writing any output; the canonical example is a
sort utility. Unlike most filters, a sponge can conveniently overwrite
the input file with the output data stream. If a file system has
versioning (as ITS did and VMS does now) the sponge/filter distinction
loses its usefulness, because directing filter output would just write a
new version. See also `*slurp* `__.

Australia dominate Pakistan with bat and ball
Brisbane - Australia look certain to take a 1-0 lead in their series against Pakistan after dominating with both bat and ball on day three of the first Test in Brisbane on Saturday.
Big centuries to Marnus Labuschagne (185) and David Warner (154) helped Australia to a first innings total of 580 in reply to Pakistan's 240.
At stumps Pakistan were in big trouble on 64 for three, still needing 276 runs to make Australia bat again.
Shan Masood was not out 27 and Babar Azam was 20 at the close.
Mitchell Starc did the early damage for the Australians in the final hour of the day's play, trapping captain Azhar Ali leg before for five.
He then enticed Haris Sohail to waft at a ball well outside off stump, only to get a thick edge to Australian wicketkeeper Tim Paine.
Asad Shafiq was next to fall, edging Pat Cummins to second slip where Steve Smith took a comfortable catch.
Labuschagne had earlier scored a magnificent maiden Test century in front of his home crowd at the Gabba.
The 25-year-old made history during the Ashes series earlier this year when he was brought into the second Test as a concussion replacement for Steve Smith, who had been hit in the head by a Jofra Archer bouncer.
It was the first time a concussion replacement had been used in Test cricket since the new law was introduced.
Labuschagne scored four 50s in that series but had been unable to convert any of those until his near chanceless innings on Saturday.
Earlier, teenage pace sensation Naseem Shah claimed his first Test wicket when he had Warner caught behind for 154.
Warner only added three runs to his overnight score of 151 when he became 16-year-old Naseem's first scalp.
Naseem, whose pace has been impressive during this Test, eventually claimed Warner when the nuggety opener was unable to avoid a short pitched ball and edged it to wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, to leave the Australians 351 for two.
But that was the last hurrah from Naseem, who appeared to be injured and only bowled four overs in the day.
The Pakistanis' hearts must have sunk when they saw Smith striding to the crease to replace Warner.
But after hitting a boundary off Yasir Shah, the leg-spinner then clean bowled Smith, the seventh time in six Test matches that Yasir has dismissed the Australian number four.
Labuschagne and Matthew Wade shared in a 110-run partnership before Wade was well caught by Rizwan for 60 off Sohail.
Sohail and Rizwan then combined to have Travis Head caught down the leg side for 24.
The Pakistan bowlers toiled hard throughout the day and were rewarded when they took the last five Australian wickets for 35 runs, with Yasir (4-205) and Shaheen Afridi (2-96) the pick.

The next morning Rand was up and dressed well before first light. In truth, he had not slept, and it had not been Aviendha who kept him awake, not even after she began undressing before he could put out the lamps and channeled one alight again as soon as he did, chiding him that she was unable to see in the dark even if he could. He made no reply, and hours later, had hardly noticed when she rose, a good hour before he did, dressed and left. He did not even think to wonder where she was going.
The thoughts that had had him staring up into the blackness still ran through his head. Men would die today. A great many men, even if everything went perfectly. Nothing he did now would change it; today would run out according to the Pattern. But over and over he mulled the decisions he had made since he first entered the Waste. Could he have done something different, something that would have avoided this day, this place? Next time, perhaps. The tasseled length of spear lay atop his sword belt and scabbarded blade beside his blankets. There would be a next time, and one beyond that, and beyond again.
While darkness still held, the chiefs came in a bunch for a few final words, to report that their men were in position and ready. Not that anything else was expected. Stone-faced as they were, some emotion showed. An odd mix, though, a skim of ebullience over somberness.
Erim actually wore a slight smile. “A good day, to see the end of the Shaido,” he said finally. He seemed to be walking on his toes.
“The Light willing,” Bael said, his head brushing the roof of the tent, “we will wash the spears in Couladin’s blood before sunfall.”
“Bad luck to talk of what will be,” Han muttered. The skim was very thin on him, of course. “Fate will decide.”
Rand nodded. “The Light send it does not decide on too many of our number dead.” He wished his concern were only that few men should die because men should not have their lives cut short, but there were many more days to come. He would need every spear to bring order to this side of the Dragonwall. That was a bone between him and Couladin every bit as much as the rest.
“Life is a dream,” Rhuarc told him, and Han and the others nodded agreement. Life was only a dream, and all dreams had to end. Aiel did not run toward death, yet they did not run from it either.
As they were departing, Bael paused. “Are you certain of what you want the Maidens to do? Sulin has been speaking to the Wise Ones.”
So that was what Melaine had been at Bael about. The way Rhuarc stopped to listen, he had been hearing from Amys on the subject, too.
“Everyone else is doing what they are supposed to without complaining, Bael.” That was unfair, but this was no game. “If the Maidens want special consideration, Sulin can come to me, not go running to the Wise Ones.”
Had they been anything but Aiel, Rhuarc and Bael would have been shaking their heads as they left. Rand supposed each would get an earful from his wife, but they would have to live with it. If Far Dareis Mai carried his honor, this time they would carry it where he wanted.
To Rand’s surprise Lan appeared just as he was ready to go out himself. The Warder’s cloak hung down his back, disturbing the vision as it rippled with his movements.
“Is Moiraine with you?” Rand had expected Lan to be glued to her side.
“She is fretting in her tent.  That was her choice of how to help; she could not use the Power as a weapon today, but she could Heal. “Waste always angers her.”
“It angers us all,” Rand snapped. His taking Egwene away probably upset her, too. As far as he could tell, Egwene was not very good at Healing on her own, but she could have aided Moiraine. Well, he needed her to keep her promise. “Tell Moiraine if she needs help, ask some of the Wise Ones who can channel.” But few Wise Ones had any knowledge of Healing. “She can link with them and use their strength.” He hesitated. Had Moiraine ever spoken of linking to him? “You didn’t come here to tell me Moiraine is brooding,” he said irritably. It was difficult sometimes, keeping straight what came from her, what from Asmodean, and what bubbled up from Lews Therin.
“I came to ask why you’ve taken to wearing a sword again.”
“Moiraine asked already. Did she send—?”
Lan’s face did not change, but he cut in roughly. “I want to know. You can make a sword from the Power, or kill without, but suddenly you are wearing steel on your hip again. Why?”
Unconsciously, Rand ran one hand up the long hilt at his side. “It’s hardly fair to use the Power that way. Especially against someone who can’t channel. I might as well fight a child.”
The Warder stood silent for a time, studying him. “You mean to kill Couladin yourself,” he said at last in flat tones. “That sword against his spears.”
“I don’t mean to seek him out, but who can say what will happen?” Rand shrugged uncomfortably. Not to hunt for him. But if ever his twisting of chance was to favor him, let it be to bring him face-to-face with Couladin. “Besides, I’d not put it past him to seek me. The threats I’ve heard from him have been personal, Lan.” Raising one fist, he thrust his arm out of a crimson coatsleeve enough to make the golden-maned Dragon’s fore end plainly visible. “Couladin won’t rest while I live, not so long as we both wear these.”
And truth to tell, he would not rest himself until only one living man bore the Dragons. By rights he should lump Asmodean in with Couladin. Asmodean had marked the Shaido. But Couladin’s unrestrained ambition had made it possible; his ambition and refusal to abide by Aiel law and custom had led inevitably to this place, this day. Beyond the bleakness and war between Aiel, there was Taien to be laid at Couladin’s feet, and Selean, and dozens of ruined towns and villages since, countless hundreds of burned farms. Unburied men and women and children had fed the vultures. If he was the Dragon Reborn, if he had any right to demand that any nation follow him, much less Cairhien, then he owed them justice.
“Then have him beheaded when he’s taken,” Lan said harshly. “Set a hundred men, or a thousand, with no purpose but to find and take him. But do not be fool enough to fight him! You are good with a blade now—very good—but Aielmen are all but born with spear and buckler in hand. A spear through your heart, and all has been for naught.”
“So I should avoid the fighting? Would you, if Moiraine had no claims on you? Will Rhuarc, or Bael, or any of them?”
“I am not the Dragon Reborn. The, fate of the world does not rest on me.” But the momentary heat had gone from his voice. Without Moiraine, he would have been wherever the fighting was hottest. If anything, he looked to be regretting those claims at the moment.
“I’ll not take needless risks, Lan, but I can’t run from them all.” The Seanchan spear would remain in the tent today; it would only get in his way if he did find Couladin. “Come. The Aiel will finish it without us if we stand here much longer.”
When he ducked outside, only a few stars remained, and a thin brightness outlined the eastern horizon sharply. That was not why he stopped, though, and Lan with him. Maidens made a ring around the tent, shoulder to shoulder, facing inward. A thick ring that spread down the dark shrouded slopes, cadin’sor-clad women jammed so a mouse could not have slipped through. Jeade’en was nowhere in sight, though a gai’shain had been ordered to have him saddled and waiting.
Not Maidens alone. Two women in the front rank wore bulky skirts and pale blouses, their hair bound back with folded scarves. It was too black yet to discern faces with any certainty, but there was something in the shape of those two, in their folded-arm stance, that named Egwene and Aviendha.
Sulin stepped forward before he could open his mouth to ask what they were up to. “We have come to escort the Car’a’carn to the tower with Egwene Sedai and Aviendha.”
“Who put you up to this?” Rand demanded. One glance at Lan showed it had not been him. Even in the darkness the Warder looked startled. For a moment anyway, his head jerking up; nothing surprised Lan for long. “Egwene is supposed to be on her way to the tower now, and the Maidens are supposed to be there to guard her. What she will do today is very important. She must be protected while she does it.”
“We will protect her.” Sulin’s voice was as flat as a planed board. “And the Car’a’carn, who gave his honor to Far Dareis Mai to carry.” A murmur of approval rippled through the Maidens.
“It only makes sense, Rand,” Egwene said from where she stood. “If one using the Power as a weapon will make the battle shorter, three will shorten it even more. And you are stronger than Aviendha and me together.” She did not sound as if she liked saying that last. Aviendha said nothing, but the way she stood was eloquent.
“This is ridiculous,” Rand scowled. “Let me through, and go to your assigned place.”
Sulin did not budge. “Far Dareis Mai carries the honor of the Car’a’carn,” she said calmly, and others took it up. No louder, but from so many women’s voices it made a high rumble. “Far Dareis Mai carries the honor of the Car’a’carn. Far Dareis Mai carries the honor of the Car’a’carn.”
“I said let me through,” he demanded the instant the sound died.
As if he had told them to begin again, they did. “Far Dareis Mai carries the honor of the Car’a’carn. Far Dareis Mai carries the honor of the Car’a’carn.” Sulin just stood there looking at him.
After a moment Lan leaned close to murmur dryly, “A woman is no less a woman because she carries a spear. Did you ever meet one who could be diverted from anything she really wanted? Give over, or we will stand here all day while you argue and they chant at you.” The Warder hesitated, then added, “Besides which, it does make sense.”
 He knew what she had intended to say, though.
The trouble was that he was beginning to feel like one. It did make sense for him to go to the tower. He had nothing to do elsewhere—the battle was in the hands of the chiefs and fate, now—and he would be of more use channeling than riding around hoping to meet with Couladin. If being an infantryman could pull Couladin to him, it could draw him to the tower as easily as anywhere else. Not that he would have much chance of seeing the man, not after ordering every last Maiden to defend the tower.
But how to back down and retain a scrap of dignity after blustering left, right and center? “I’ve decided I can do the most good from the tower,” he said, his face going hot.
“As the Car’a’carn commands,” Sulin replied without a hint of mockery, just as if it had been his idea from the first. Lan nodded, then slipped away, the Maidens making narrow room for him.
The gap closed up right behind Lan, though, and when they began to move, Rand had no choice except to go with them. He could have channeled, of course, flung Fire about or knocked them down with Air, but that was hardly the way to behave with people on his side, let alone women. Besides, he was not sure he could have made them leave him short of killing, and maybe not then. And anyway, he had decided he was of most use at the tower, after all.
Egwene and Aviendha were as silent as Sulin as they walked, for which he was grateful. Of course, at least part of their silence had to do with picking their way uphill and down in the dark without breaking their necks. Aviendha did raise a mutter now and then that he barely caught, something angry about skirts. But neither made fun of him for backing down so visibly. Though that might well come later. Women seemed to enjoy jabbing the needle in just when you thought the danger was past.
The sky began to lighten into gray, and as the log tower came into sight above the trees, he broke the quiet himself. “I didn’t expect you to be part of this, Aviendha. I thought you said Wise Ones take no part in battles.” He was sure she had. A Wise One could walk through the middle of a battle untouched, or into any hold or stand of a clan that had blood feud with hers, but she took no part in fighting, certainly not with channeling. Until he came to the Waste, even most Aiel had not really known that some Wise Ones could channel, though there were rumors of strange abilities, and sometimes something the Aiel thought might be close to channeling.
“I am not a Wise One yet,” she replied pleasantly, shifting her shawl. “If an Aes Sedai like Egwene can do this, so can I. I arranged it this morning, while you still slept, but I have thought of it since you first asked Egwene.”
There was enough light now for him to see Egwene flush. When she saw him glancing at her, she tripped over nothing, and he had to catch her arm to keep her from falling. Avoiding his eyes, she jerked free. Maybe he would not have to worry about any needles from her. They started uphill through the sparse woods toward the tower.
“They didn’t try to stop you? Amys, I mean, or Bair, or Melaine?” He knew they had not. If they had, she would not be there.
Aviendha shook her head, then frowned thoughtfully. “They talked for a long time with Sorilea, then told me to do as I thought I must. Usually they tell me to do as they think I must.” Glancing at him sideways, she added, “I heard Melaine say that you bring change to everything.”
“I do that,” he said, setting his foot on the bottom rung of the first ladder. “The Light help me, that I do.”
The view from the platform was magnificent even to the naked eye, the land spreading out in wooded hills. The trees were thick enough to hide the Aiel moving toward Cairhien—most would already be in position—but dawn cast the city itself in golden light. A quick scan through one of the looking glasses showed the barren hills along the river placid and seemingly empty of life. That would change soon enough. The Shaido were there, if concealed for now. They would not remain concealed when he began to direct . . . What? Not balefire. Whatever he did, it had to unnerve the Shaido as much as possible before his Aiel attacked.
Egwene and Aviendha had been taking turns looking through the other long tube, with pauses for quiet discussion, but now they were simply talking softly. Exchanging nods finally, they moved closer to the railing and stood with their hands on the rough-hewn timber, staring toward Cairhien. Goose bumps suddenly dotted his skin. One of them was channeling, maybe both.
It was the wind that he noticed first, blowing toward the city. Not a breeze; the first real wind he had felt in this country. And clouds were beginning to form above Cairhien, heaviest to the south, growing thicker and blacker as he watched, roiling. Only there, over Cairhien and the Shaido. Everywhere else as far as he could see, the sky was a clear blue, with only a few high thin white wisps. Yet thunder rolled, long and solid. Suddenly lightning stabbed down, a jagged silver streak that rent a hilltop below the city. Before the crack of the first bolt reached the tower, two more crackled earthward. Wild forks danced across the sky, but those single lances of brilliant white struck with the regularity of a heartbeat. Abruptly, ground exploded where no lightning had fallen, fountaining fifty feet, then again somewhere else, and again.
Rand had no idea which woman was doing what, but they certainly looked set to harrow the Shaido out. Time to do his bit, or stand watching. Reaching out, he seized saidin. Icy fire scoured the outside of the Void that surrounded what was Rand al’Thor. Coldly, he ignored the oily filth seeping into him from the taint, juggled wild torrents of the Power that threatened to engulf him.
At this distance, there were limits to what he could do. In fact, it was about as far as he could do anything, really, without angreal or sa’angreal. Very likely that was why the women were channeling one lightning bolt at a time, one explosion; if he was at his boundary, they must be stretching theirs.
A memory slid across the emptiness. Not his; Lews Therin’s. For once he did not care. In an instant he channeled, and a ball of fire enveloped the top of a hill nearly five miles away, a churning mass of pale yellow flame. When it faded, he could see without the looking glass that the hill was lower now, and black at the crest, seemingly melted. Between the three of them, there might be no need for the clans to fight Couladin at all.
Ilyena, my love, forgive me!
The Void trembled; for an instant Rand teetered on the brink of destruction. Waves of the One Power crashed through him in a froth of fear; the taint seemed to solidify around his heart, a reeking stone.
Clutching the rail until his knuckles ached, he forced himself back to calmness, forced the emptiness to hold. Thereafter he refused to listen to the thoughts in his head. Instead he concentrated everything on channeling, on methodically searing one hill after another.
Standing well back into what treeline there was on the crest, Mat held Pips’ nose under his arm so the gelding would not whicker as he watched a thousand or so Aiel slanting toward him across the hills from the south. The sun was just peeking over the horizon, stretching long rippling shadows to one side of the trotting mass. The night’s warmth was already beginning to give way to the heat of day. The air would swelter once the sun reached any height. He was already beginning to sweat.
The Aiel had not seen him yet, but he had few doubts that they would if he waited there much longer. It hardly mattered that they very nearly had to be Rand’s men—if Couladin had men to the south, the day was going to get very interesting for those stupid enough to be in the middle of the fighting—hardly mattered because he was not going to run the risk of letting them see him. He had already come too close to an arrow this morning for that kind of carelessness. Absently he fingered the neat slice across the shoulder of his coat. Good shooting, at a moving target only half-seen through trees. He could have admired it more had he not been the target.
Without taking his eyes from the approaching Aiel, he carefully backed Pips deeper into the sparse thicket; if they saw him and picked up their pace, he wanted to know. People said Aiel could run down a man on horseback, and he meant to have a good lead if they tried.
Not until the trees hid them from him did he quicken his own step, leading Pips onto the reverse slope before mounting and turning west. A man could not be too careful if he wanted to stay alive on this day and this ground. He muttered to himself as he rode, hat pulled low to shade his face and black-hafted spear across his pommel. West. Again.
The day had begun so well, a good two hours before first light, when Melindhra had gone off to some meeting of the Maidens. Thinking him asleep, she had not glanced at him as she stalked out muttering half under her breath about Rand al’Thor and honor and “Far Dareis Mai, above all.” She sounded as if she were arguing with herself, but frankly, he did not care whether she wanted to pickle Rand or stew him. Before she was a minute out of the tent, he was stuffing his saddlebags. No one had so much as looked at him twice while he saddled Pips and ghosted away to the south. A good beginning.  No consolation that it was very close to what he had babbled to Lan. He wanted to go south, and those Aiel had forced him toward the Alguenya. Toward where the fighting would be.
A mile or two on, he cautiously turned Pips upslope, pausing deep in the scattered trees on the crest. It was a higher hill than most, and he had a good view. This time there were no Aiel in sight, but the column winding along the bottom of the twisting hill valley was almost as bad. Mounted Tairens had the lead behind a knot of colorful lords’ banners, with a gap back to a thick, bristling snake of pikemen in the Tairens’ dust, and then another to the Cairhienin horse, with their multitude of banners and pennants and con. The Cairhienin maintained no order at all, milling about as lords shifted back and forth for conversation, but at least they had flankers out to either side. In any case, as soon as they were past, he had a clear route south.
A flicker of movement caught his eye, well ahead of the column below. He would not have seen it except for being so high. None of the riders could have, certainly. Digging his small looking glass from his saddlebags—Kin Tovere liked the dice—he peered toward what he had seen, and whistled softly through his teeth. Aiel, at least as many as the men in the valley, and if they were not Couladin’s, they meant to give a nameday surprise, for they were lying low among the dying bushes and dead leaves.
For a moment he drummed fingers on his thigh. Shortly there were going to be some corpses down there. And not many of them Aiel. None of my affair. I am out of this, out of here, and heading south. He would wait a bit, then head off while they were all too busy to notice.
 No foreguard out, and no scouts, or he’d know what was bloody in store for him. For that matter, the way the hills lay, the way the valley twisted, the Aiel could not see the column, either, only its thin dust rising skyward. They certainly had had scouts to get themselves in place; they could not just be waiting there on the off chance.
Idly whistling “Dance with Jak o’ the Shadows,” he put the looking glass back to his eye and studied the hilltops. Yes. The Aiel commander had left a few men where they could signal a warning just before the column entered the killing ground. But even they could not possibly see anything yet. In a few minutes the first Tairens would come in sight, but until then . . .
It came as a shock when he heeled Pips to a gallop downslope. What under the Light am I doing? Well, he could not just stand by and let them all go their deaths like geese to the knife. He would warn them. That was all. Tell what lay in wait ahead, then he was gone.
The Cairhienin outriders saw him coming before he reached the bottom of the slope, of course, heard Pips’ dead-flat charge. Two or three lowered their lances. Mat did not precisely enjoy having a foot and a half of steel pointed at him, and still less three times over, but obviously one man was no threat, even riding like a madman. They let him pass, and he swung in near the lead Cairhienin lords long enough to shout, “Halt here! Now! By order of the Lord Dragon!
His heels dug in, and Pips sprang ahead. He only glanced back to be sure they were doing what he said—they were, if showing some confusion over it; the hills hid them from the Aiel still, and once their dust settled, the Aiel would have no way of knowing they were there—and then he was lying low on the gelding’s neck, whipping Pips with his hat and galloping up alongside the infantry.
If I wait to let Weiramon pass the orders, it’ll be too late. That’s all. He would give his warning and go.
The foot marched in blocks of two hundred or so pikemen, with one mounted officer in the front of each and maybe fifty archers or crossbowmen at the rear. Most looked at him curiously as he dashed by, Pips’ heels kicking up spurts of dust, but none broke stride. Some of the officers’ mounts frisked as if the riders wanted to come see what had him in such a hurry, but none of them left their places either. Good discipline. They would need it.
Defenders of the Stone brought up the tail end of the Tairens in their breastplates and puffy black-and-gold striped coatsleeves, plumes of various colors on the rimmed helmets marking officers and underofficers. The rest were armored the same, but bore the colors of various lords on their sleeves. The silk-coated lords themselves rode at the very front in ornate breastplates and large white plumes, their banners rippling behind them in a rising breeze toward the city.
Reining around in front of them so quickly that Pips danced, Mat shouted, “Halt, in the name of the Lord Dragon!”
It seemed the fastest way to stop them, but for a moment he thought they meant to ride right over him. Almost at the last moment, a young lord he remembered from outside Rand’s tent flung up a hand, and then they were all drawing rein in a flurry of shouted orders that ran back along the column. Weiramon was not there; not a lord was as much as ten years older than Mat.
“What is the meaning of this?” demanded the fellow who had signaled. Dark eyes glared arrogantly down a sharp nose, chin lifted so his pointed beard looked ready to stab. Sweat trickling down his face spoiled it only a little. “The Lord Dragon himself gave me this command. Who are you to—?”
He cut off as another man Mat knew caught his sleeve, whispering urgently. Potato-faced Estean looked haggard beneath his helmet as well as hot—the Aiel had wrung him out concerning conditions in the city, so Mat had heard—but he had gambled at cards with Mat in Tear. He knew exactly who Mat was. Estean’s breastplate alone had chips in the ornate gilding; none of the others had done more than ride around looking pretty. Yet.
Sharp-nose’s chin came down as he listened, and when Estean left off, he spoke in a more moderate tone. “No offense intended . . . ah . . . Lord Mat. I am Melanril, of House Asegora. How may I serve the Lord Dragon?” Moderation slipped into actual hesitation at that last, and Estean broke in anxiously.
“Why should we ‘halt’? I know the Lord Dragon told us to hold back, Mat, but burn my soul, there’s no honor in sitting and letting the Aiel do all the fighting. Why should we be saddled with chasing them after they’re broken? Besides, my father is in the city, and . . . ” He trailed off under Mat’s stare.
Mat shook his head, fanning himself with his hat. The fools were not even where they should be. There was no chance of turning them back, either. If Melanril would go—and looking at him, Mat was not sure he would, even on supposed orders from the Lord Dragon—there was still no chance. He sat his saddle in plain sight of the Aiel lookouts. If the column started turning around, they would know themselves discovered, and very likely they would attack while the Tairens and the Cairhienin pike were tangled up. It would be a slaughter as surely as if they had gone ahead in ignorance.
“Where is Weiramon?”
“The Lord Dragon sent him back to Tear,” Melanril replied slowly. “To deal with the Illianer pirates, and the bandits on the Plains of Maredo. He was reluctant to go, of course, even for so great a responsibility, but . . .  “I am no lord. And if you want to question what Rand lets people know, ask him.” That set the fellow back; he was not about to question the Lord bloody Dragon about anything. Weiramon was a fool, but at least he was old enough to have been in a battle. Except for Estean, looking like a sack of turnips tied on his horse, all this lot had seen was a tavern fight or two. And maybe a few duels . . . Fat lot of good that would do them. “Now, you all listen to me. When you pass through that gap ahead between the next two hills, Aiel are going to come down on you like an avalanche.”
He might as well have told them there was going to be a ball, with the women all sighing to meet a Tairen lordling. Eager grins broke out, and they, started dancing their horses about, slapping each other on the shoulder and boasting how many they would kill. Estean was odd man out, just sighing and easing his sword in its scabbard.
“Don’t stare up there!” Mat snapped. The fools. In a minute they would be calling the charge! “Keep your eyes on me. On me!”
It was who he was friends with that settled them down. Melanril and the others in their fine, unmarked armor frowned impatiently, not understanding why he did not want to let them begin the business of killing Aiel savages. If he had not been Rand’s friend they probably would have trampled him and Pips both.
He could let them go charging off. They would do it piecemeal, leaving the pikes and the Cairhienin horse behind, though the Cairhienin might join in once they realized what was happening.  The smart thing would be to let them get on with it while he headed in the opposite direction.  If that happened, there was no certainty that he would get clear.
 As soon as the pikes are through the gap, they’ll form a hollow square, and you get yourselves inside it double quick.”
“Inside!” Melanril protested. Angry mutters rose from the other young lords—except Estean, who looked thoughtful.  This was taking too long; the Aiel had to be wondering what they were talking about by now. “With any luck, you will be set before the Aiel can hit you. If you have horsebows, use them. Otherwise, hold tight.  He could almost feel time running down.
 When he glanced over his shoulder, Melanril and the others were talking and peering after him. At least they were not haring up the valley.
The commander of the pikemen proved to be a pale, slender Cairhienin, half a head shorter than Mat and mounted on a gray gelding that looked past ready for the pasture. Daerid had hard eyes, though, an oft-broken nose, and three white scars crisscrossing his face, one of them not very old.  No lord, he. Maybe he had been part of the army, before the civil war started. Yes, his men knew how to form a hedgehog. He had not faced Aiel, but he had faced brigands, and Andoran cavalry. There was an implication that he had fought other Cairhienin as well, for one of the Houses contesting for the throne. Daerid sounded neither eager nor reluctant; he sounded like a man with a job of work to do.
The column stepped off as Mat turned Pips’ head the other way. They marched with a measured pace, and a quick look behind showed the Tairens’ horses moving no faster.
He let Pips go a little quicker than a walk, but not much. It seemed he could feel Aiel eyes on his back, feel them wondering what he had said, and where he was going now and why. Just a messenger who’s delivered his message and is going away. Nothing to worry about. He certainly hoped that was what the Aiel thought, but his shoulders did not untense until he was sure they could no longer see him.
The Cairhienin were still waiting where he had left them. They still had their flankers out, too. Banners and con made a thicket where the lords had gathered, one in ten or better of the Cairhienin’s number. Most of them wore plain breastplates, and where there was gilt or silverwork, it was battered as though a drunken blacksmith had been at it. Some of their mounts made Daerid’s look like Lan’s warhorse. Could they even do what was needed? But the faces that turned to him were hard, the gazes harder.
He was in the clear, now, hidden from the Aiel. He could ride on. After telling this lot what was expected of them, anyway. He had sent the others on into the Aiel trap; he could not simply abandon them.
Talmanes of House Delovinde, his con three yellow stars on blue and his banner a black fox, was even shorter than Daerid and had three years on Mat at most, but he led these Cairhienin although there were older men and even gray hair present.  His armor and sword were utterly plain. Once he had told Mat his name the man listened quietly while Mat laid out his plan, leaning a little out of the saddle to cut lines in the ground with the sword-bladed spear.
The other Cairhienin lords gathered round on their horses, watching, but none so sharply as Talmanes. Talmanes studied the map he drew, and studied him from boots to hat, even his spear. When he was done, the fellow still did not speak, until Mat barked, “Well? I don’t care whether you take it or leave it, but your friends will be hip-deep in Aiel in not much longer.”
“The Tairens are no friends of mine. And Daerid is . . . useful. Certainly not a friend.” Dry chuckles ran through the onlooking lords at the suggestion. “But I will lead one half, if you lead the other.”
Talmanes pulled off one steel-backed gauntlet and put out his hand, but for a moment Mat only stared at it. Lead? Him? I’m a gambler, not a soldier. A lover. Memories of battles long gone spun through his head, but he forced them down. All he had to do was ride on. But then maybe Talmanes would leave Estean and Daerid and the rest to roast. On the spit Mat had hung them from. Even so, it was a surprise to him when he grasped the other’s hand and said, “You just be there when you’re supposed to be.”
For reply Talmanes began calling off names in a quick voice. Lords and lordlings reined toward Mat, each followed by a bannerman and perhaps a dozen retainers, until he had four hundred odd of the Cairhienin. Talmanes did not have much to say after, either; he just led the remainder west at a trot, trailing a faint cloud of dust.
“Keep together,” Mat told his half. “Charge when I say charge, run when I say run, and don’t make any noise you don’t have to.” There was the creak of saddles and the thud of hooves as they followed him, of course, but at least they did not talk, or ask questions.
A last glimpse of the other bristle of bright banners and con, and then a twist in the shallow valley hid them. How had he gotten into this? It had all started so simply. Just give warning and go. Each step after had seemed so small, so necessary. And now he had waded waist deep into the mud, and no choice but to keep on. He hoped Talmanes meant to show up. The man had not even asked who he was.
The hill valley twisted and forked as he angled north, but he had a good sense of direction. For instance, he knew exactly which way lay south and safety, and it was not the way he was heading. Dark clouds were forming up there toward the city, the first he had seen so thick in a long time. Rain would break the drought—good for the farmers, if any remained—and settle the dust—good for horsemen, so they did not announce themselves too early. Maybe if it rained, the Aiel would give up and go home. The wind was beginning to pick up, too, bringing a little cool, for a wonder.
The sound of fighting drifted over the crests, men shouting, men screaming. It had begun.
Mat turned Pips, raised his spear and swung it right and left. He was almost surprised when the Cairhienin formed into one long line to either side of him, facing upslope. The gesture had been instinctive, from another time and place, but then, these men had seen fighting. He started Pips up through the scattered trees at a slow walk, and they kept pace to the quiet jangle of bridles.
His first thought on reaching the height was relief at seeing Talmanes and his men coming into sight on the crest across from him. His second was to curse.
Daerid had formed the hedgehog, spiny thickets of pikes four deep interspersed with bowmen to make a large hollow square. Long pikes made it difficult for the Shaido to get close, however they rushed in, and the archers and crossbowmen were exchanging shots hot and fast with the Aiel. Men were falling on both sides, but the pikes simply closed in when one of their number went down, making the square tighter. Of course, the Shaido did not appear to slacken their assault either.
The Defenders were dismounted in the center, and maybe half the Tairen lords with their retainers. Half. That was what made him want to curse. The rest dashed about among the Aiel, slashing and stabbing with sword and lance in knots of five or ten, or alone. Dozens of riderless horses told how well they were doing. Melanril was off with only his bannerman, laying about with his blade. Two Aiel darted in to neatly hamstring the lordling’s horse; it fell, head flailing—Mat was sure it screamed, but the din swallowed it—and then Melanril vanished behind cadin’sor-clad figures, spears stabbing. The bannerman lasted a moment longer.
Good riddance, Mat thought grimly. Standing in his stirrups, he raised the sword-bladed spear high, then swept it forward, shouting, “Los! Los caba’drin!”
He would have had the words back if he could, and not because they were Old Tongue; it was a boiling cauldron down in the valley. But whether or not any of the Cairhienin understood a command of “horsemen forward” in the Old Tongue, they understood the gesture, especially when he dropped back into his saddle and dug in his heels. Not that he really wanted to, but he could not see any choice now. He had put those men down there—some might have gotten away if he had told them to turn and run—and he just did not have a choice.
Banners and con waving, the Cairhienin charged downhill with him, shouting battle cries.  Across the valley, Talmanes raced down just as hard.
Sure that they had all the wetlanders penned, the Shaido never saw the others until crashed into from behind on both sides. It was then that the lightning began to fall. And after that things really got hairy.

One of my greatest fears for retail investors in crypto is that many are drawn to the next shiny thing & become bored with a simple strategy.
Form a thesis. Build conviction. Stay disciplined.
And remember that sometimes the best investment is not doing anything at all.

--- layout: post title: "Day 12 - Bar Brothers Workout" subtitle: "Again a long weekend and yesterday evening I exaggerated with eating, although I did eat a few small salads, fish, chicken with big salad, but nevertheless before bedtime it is not recommended" date: 2019-11-02 background: '/img/posts/intro-barbrothers.png' ---
In the morning after I also ate rice, fish, and many salads at noon, I also ate black bread and hummus, and how not, in the evening I expected a surprise, weighed myself before training and it was hard to see what I saw, my weight was 97.6kg, I really exaggerated this weekend, so I decided to do a murderous training.
In the evening I did a 5km walk, then did cardio at home was quite difficult and sweated a lot, then I did Bar Brothers training for the back, and the training included a lot of work on the Bar.
After the workout I checked my weight and it would have looked much better, it is not yet 94.4 and I am about to reach that weight max tomorrow or at least in two days
The new weight, of course, is not the ideal weight, but at least that is the direction, if I can lose another 1.6kg today then tomorrow I will be 94.4kg which is excellent, the last workout I did on 31.11 was in the morning and he really helped me, maybe I will do such training again This morning we will see what the situation will be.
Cheers!

begin
-- Let y
be any real number.
intro y,
-- Let's prove the contrapositive
-- ( ... )
end
How does Lean know that intro y
means that y
is asserted to be a real number? Is that hidden in the prototype somehow?
It guesses that it should be a real, because of the inequality x < y
and x
is real.
It is very important to understand that the first and most essential automation that Lean (or any self-respecting proof assistant) will provide is elaboration: filling in missing information. In the statement I could have written ∀ y :ℝ , x < y → ∃ a ∈ A, a < y
. But Lean figured out the type of y
from the following bit x < y
.
Learning Lean is a greater experience than I once thought that it would be. What I mean is that I'm enjoying it and am also impressed with its features.
The two main types of elaboration that Lean performs are unification and type class inference. Here you see unification. When Lean meets "∀ y,", where the type of y
is not provided, it creates a so-called meta-variable for this missing information, typically denoted by something like ?M_1
. Then reading x < y
and knowing that x
has type real creates a constraint ?M_1 = ℝ
that is straightforward to "unify" by setting ?M_1
, but there are many cases where Lean has to work much harder (e.g. cleverly unfolding definitions).
But then we immediately get a new problem while reading x < y
. It also triggers a type class resolution elaboration : we need to find a meaning for <
on ℝ
, ie an "instance" of has_lt ℝ
.
You can type
set_option trace.class_instances true example := (by apply_instance : has_lt ℝ)
and look at the bottom of the Lean messages view to see the effort Lean did to find this instance. Where I am it succeeds right away. But looking at something slightly more complicated, like comm_ring ℝ
, I see:
[class_instances] class-instance resolution trace [class_instances] (0) ?x_0 : comm_ring ℝ := @Huber_ring.to_comm_ring ?x_1 ?x_2 [class_instances] (0) ?x_0 : comm_ring ℝ := @uniform_space.comm_ring ?x_1 ?x_2 ?x_3 ?x_4 ?x_5 failed is_def_eq [class_instances] (0) ?x_0 : comm_ring ℝ := @uniform_space.completion.comm_ring ?x_6 ?x_7 ?x_8 ?x_9 ?x_10 failed is_def_eq [class_instances] (0) ?x_0 : comm_ring ℝ := @localization.comm_ring ?x_11 ?x_12 ?x_13 ?x_14 failed is_def_eq [class_instances] (0) ?x_0 : comm_ring ℝ := @subalgebra.comm_ring ?x_15 ?x_16 ?x_17 ?x_18 ?x_19 ?x_20 failed is_def_eq [class_instances] (0) ?x_0 : comm_ring ℝ := @algebra.comap.comm_ring ?x_21 ?x_22 ?x_23 ?x_24 ?x_25 ?x_26 ?x_27 ?x_28 failed is_def_eq [class_instances] (0) ?x_0 : comm_ring ℝ := complex.comm_ring failed is_def_eq [class_instances] (0) ?x_0 : comm_ring ℝ := real.comm_ring
Because I'm typing this randomly in the middle of a file about Huber rings (a crucial piece of the definition of perfectoid spaces), Lean first try to find a Huber ring structure on ℝ
then see if it's the separated quotient of some uniform space, or the completion of a topological ring (which is not how it's currently defined in mathlib) or a localization etc. until it tries the correct instance.
Actually this process is what most experienced Lean users complain about the most frequently in this forum. For instance, I wish Lean would first try to search an instance by name, following the naming convention it uses itself when you don't name an instance. In that case it would find real.comm_ring
right away.
The above trace is very short because there is no failed attempt that goes on recursively trying to solve other instance resolutions. But sometimes it gets really hairy, and fails after hitting some maximal depth search
And now I'll go sleeping. Actual computer science experts will correct what I explained wrong (I'm a mathematician).
Thank you for the details. I will try out that trace command :)

Creating new factor and variable types
GTSAM comes with a set of variable and factor types typically used in SFM and SLAM. Geometry variables such as points and poses are in the geometry subdirectory and module. Factors such as BetweenFactor and BearingFactor are in the gtsam/slam directory.
To use GTSAM to solve your own problems, you will often have to create new factor types, which derive either from NonlinearFactor or NoiseModelFactor, or one of their derived types. Here is an outline of the options:
- The number of variables your factor involves is unknown at compile time - derive from NoiseModelFactor and implement NoiseModelFactor::unwhitenedError()
- This is a factor expressing the sum-of-squares error between a measurement \( z \) and a measurement prediction function \( h(x) \), on which the errors are expected to follow some distribution specified by a noise model (see noiseModel).
- The number of variables your factor involves is known at compile time and is between 1 and 6 - derive from NonlinearFactor1, NonlinearFactor2, NonlinearFactor3, NonlinearFactor4, NonlinearFactor5, or NonlinearFactor6, and implement
evaluateError()
- This factor expresses the same sum-of-squares error with a noise model, but makes the implementation task slightly easier than with NoiseModelFactor.
- Derive from NonlinearFactor
- This is more advanced and allows creating factors without an explicit noise model, or that linearize to HessianFactor instead of JacobianFactor.

Ex-Rangers player Joey Barton to stand trial next year accused of 'tunnel attack' on rival manager
The former midfielder will stand trial next year accused of assaulting former Barnsley boss Daniel Stendel.
by Dave HiggensEx Rangers footballer Joey Barton will go on trial next year accused of assaulting former Barnsley boss Daniel Stendel during an incident following a League One match.
Barton, 37, is alleged to have pushed the German at Oakwell on April 13, leaving him with a damaged tooth.
The Fleetwood Town manager pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm when he appeared at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday.
A provisional trial date was fixed for June 1 2020.
Barton, of Fox Bank Close, in Widnes, Cheshire, stood in the glass-fronted dock, flanked by a security officer, for the 15-minute appearance.
He spoke to confirm his name and date of birth, that he is a UK national, and that he understood various matters outlined by the judge.
Wearing a dark blue jacket over an open-necked light blue shirt and sporting glasses, he also spoke to enter his not guilty plea to the single charge.
The ex-Manchester City, Newcastle and Burnley player was charged following an incident in the tunnel after the match between Barnsley and Fleetwood, which ended in a 4-2 victory for the home team.
Barton was given unconditional bail by Judge Jeremy Richardson QC.

Hi I'm
Hi, am MUNYADHER . A Web Developer. Through coding i've acquired problem-solving skills and a way to. communicate with others on a technical level. I'd love to work in a tech company, with artists, athletes, photographers, non-profits, and small businesses to improve their Web presence.
I love the internet, technology, and building beautiful things.
What is an App Developer?
When it comes to technology, there are plenty of career paths one can take. One area that has seen an incredible rise in popularity is that of app development. There are literally millions of apps available today, from music apps to banking apps. that help people perform specific tasks.
What does an App Developer do?
Applications software can be written for a particular operating system (OS), such as Android, iOS or Windows. App developers typically specialize in a specific development area, such as mobile phone applications, graphics software, accounting software, or office suites. Marketing firms often conduct research in order to gather information relating to consumer needs. This information is then passed on to app developers who create new applications that meet the public's needs in terms of use and cost. Several versions are made of the same basic application that can be read by different types of devices, such as cell phones, tablets and personal computers. Once an app is complete and goes into production, the app developer works on creating patches (upgrades), that are periodically released to the public. App developers work for themselves just as often as they work for small, medium and large sized companies, building ‘native’ experiences that allow people to complete tasks, consume content and interact with brands and other people.
Job Skills and Requirements for App Developers: Analytical Skills - recognizing the needs of customers, and creating new applications that answer those needs Communication - clearly communicating ideas to coders, teammates and management Creativity - inventing new ways of handling problems and developing innovative applications Customer Service - If dealing directly with clients and customers, having excellent customer service skills to answer questions and fix issues Attention to Detail - having all parts of applications working together for the application to function Problem-Solving - making decisions that move the project forward Teamwork - As part of a large team of developers, working well with others Technical Skills - being adept in computer languages and having good technical knowledge The following are three types of App Developers: Mobile App Developers Smartphones and, more recently, tablets are increasingly becoming the computer of choice for more and more people. Mobile app developers have specialized training in design for small electronic equipment, and write computer programs for smartphones and other mobile devices. Instead of building for a larger PC screen, these developers are dealing with extremely small Android, iPhone, or BlackBerry screens. They are experienced in multi-media applications and multiple mobile computer programming languages. Mobile app developers typically write programs using either objective C, C++, Python, or Java. Each mobile device uses a specific programming language which app developers must understand. Android Developers Android is the name of the mobile operating system owned by Google. Android typically comes installed on a variety of smartphones and tablets from many manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony, and Motorola (as well as on Google's own Nexus smartphone), giving users access to Google services such as Search, YouTube, Maps, Gmail, etc. An android developer develops applications for use on phones and tablets that utilize the android operating system - everything from interactive games to media players, to electronic book readers and global navigation software. The code required for android development is mostly open source and available freely for anyone interested in developing apps for use with the Android OS. It’s an exciting time to have a career in Android development. There is a healthy supply of jobs, demand for Android apps is accelerating, and technology is advancing. iOS Developers iOS is a shortened way of saying ‘iPhone OS’, or ‘iPhone Operating System’, and is the mobile operating system that runs on Apple’s mobile devices such as iPhones and iPads. iOS developers build software – they know how to structure it, test it, debug it, and how to use source control. iOS developers know Swift or Objective-C (and some know both languages, which is best). They know iOS, which means they have a good grasp on build views; can handle user interaction; can display data; show alerts; handle navigation; display images, labels and text views; and integrate with REST APIs and parse JSON.

You can announce your plans, gather the feedback, and find other people to cooperate with on common goals.
Gamification is great for tuning motivations in a positive way.
Questhub gives you points and achievements for each task you complete.
By liking other people's quests, you promise them points, or give them points immediately if they already completed the quest.
So, people can quickly gather opinions on what the community would prefer you to do.
Quest is any kind of task you're planning to do.
Player is you, and other people are players too. You get 1 point for each quest you complete, and 1 point for each upvote you receive on your quests.
Stencil is a blueprint for your quest. You can choose your quest from realm's stencils, or you can invent your own unique quest.
Questhub is less about planning, and more about fun, motivation, knowledge reuse, and people interaction. We're optimizing Questhub for:
Send me an email and let's talk about it. People asking for new realms become Realm Keepers, and there are two things I ask of them:
If you want to try your hand at it, I'll be happy to hear from you, and generally you'll get your realm in the next 24 hours. But if you abandon your Keeper job and the realm doesn't lift off on its own in a few weeks, I retain the right to merge it and all its quests back into Chaos.
If you're an experienced community manager, or want to bring an existing community over to Questhub, I'll be especially happy to hear from you.
We think it's ok to retrospectively claim a quest, as long as it wasn't too long ago. How long ago depends on the nature / size of the quest.
You should only claim retrospective quests based on stencils if they were appropriate challenges for you. If you're a seasoned perl hacker, then don't hoover up the stencils aimed at learners, for example.
All this is intentionally somewhat vague, but the peanut gallery reserves the right to throw nuts and other things at people taking the mickey.
(This is the informal policy; there are no formal policies around here, apart from not harassing other users.)
See our Feedback page.
You can't organize quests hierarchically, but you can add a task list to your quest's description. Read Syntax for more details. If you're doing a bigger project, you can also use tags.
Creating a quest every day would be burdensome. Rephrase your quest into "Do X every day for a month" (or a week, or whatever you like).
If you mark your quest with checkin
tag, you will be able to check-in into it. Each checkin saves the current date and time to your quest for tracking. Just try it, it's easier to see than to explain.
::
, and you're on Perl realm, it'll turn into the link to MetaCPAN automatically. Use cpan:Foo
syntax for one-word module names.
(Play Perl is the predecessor of Questhub. It lives on as Perl realm.)

There were 398 responses to the consultation – 388 in a form that matched or broadly followed the layout of the online consultation, and 10 written submissions which were not included in the quantitative data analysis, but were reflected upon within the qualitative sections. 69 per cent of the responses were from individuals, mostly teachers, while 31 per cent were from organisations.
The majority of respondents (95 per cent of those who responded to the relevant question) agreed with our proposal that students taking AS and A levels should have at least one opportunity to re-sit their exams in the specification for which they studied. The majority of respondents (85 per cent of those who responded to the relevant question) also agreed with our proposal that students re-sitting their AS and A levels should be able to re-sit any of the AS or A level units they have previously taken (including coursework units).
The majority of respondents (96 per cent of those who responded to the relevant question) expressed the view that there should be an additional re-sit opportunity for legacy GCSEs in English, English language and mathematics (including the linked pair) in summer 2017.
Responses were mixed to our proposal that, with the exception of GCSEs in English, English language and mathematics (including the linked pair), there should not be a re-sit opportunity available for legacy GCSEs.. Some respondents expressed the view that very few re-sit opportunities were taken up in subjects other than English, English language or mathematics, and others noted that other GCSEs were not required for progression purposes in the same way. However other respondents commented that students should not be disadvantaged by being in a year group affected by reform, and that students in other year groups had the opportunity to resit their GCSEs, so the opportunity should be made available for this year group. Other respondents, while agreeing that re-sit opportunities did not need to be made available for most GCSE subjects, did note specific subjects in which a re-sit opportunity would be beneficial, including GCSE science subject and other Ebacc subjects.
The majority of respondents who commented specifically on our draft General Condition of Recognition D9, and the saving and transitional provisions for AS, A level and GCSE – the draft rules that would bring into force the proposals around resits – noted that the requirements were sensible, as they would require exam boards to comply with the agreed approach. Some respondents noted that the requirements would need to be updated to reflect whatever decisions are made post-consultation.
Other respondents commented that they did not understand the provisions. The consultation proposed that the same saving and transitional provisions, amended as necessary, should be applied to further legacy AS and A level qualifications without further consultation. The response to this proposal was mixed. 40 per cent of respondents agreed with the proposal setting out that they did not see the need for further consultation on the saving and transitional provisions once the position on re-sits had been announced. While 14 per cent of respondents disagreed, saying that nothing should be done without consultation. 46 per cent of respondents did not express a view either way.
Respondents commented that our proposals would impact on persons who share a protected characteristic in several ways, and set out steps that could be taken to reduce the effect of these impacts, including the suggestion that more re-sit opportunities be made available. Respondents also commented on the impacts of our proposals more generally on students, schools, colleges and/or exam boards.

Mushika:
I find it difficult to speak of our troubles in detail using your language. Simply put, the Elrokian race is only a shadow of its former self.
Now an ancient evil has been reawakened, and unless it is stopped we Elrokians will be exterminated entirely. This entire island will revert to the primeval chaos that once ruled here.
The evil is connected to our old home, the Lost Nest. Do you understand me so far?

To find out which port would be used to connect to a given address, call
SocketGetAddressMedium()
. The socket need not actually be connected. Depending on the medium to be used, you might try to connect to the other site via some other domain or to not make the connection at all.
Include: socket.goh
int SocketGetAddressSize( char *domain);
To find out the maximum address data size for a given domain, call
SocketGetAddressSize()
. This can be helpful when allocating memory large enough to handle a full address.
This routine returns zero on error. Call ThreadGetError() to find out what the error was--if
ThreadGetError()
returns zero, then there wasn't really an error; this domain just doesn't require an address buffer.
Include: socket.goh
ChunkHandle SocketGetDomainMedia( char *domain, optr mediaList);
If you're ever curious to know which sort of hardware ports the user's machine uses to connect up to a given domain, call
SocketGetDomainMedia()
. This returns a chunk array of
MediumType
structures. If you have a choice of domains to make a given connection, you might consider which medium would be used to make the connection.
Include: socket.goh
ChunkHandle SocketGetDomains( optr domainList);
The
SocketGetDomains()
routine takes the optr of a chunk array and fills in said array with elements, each of which contains a string, each string being the name of a supported domain. This chunk array has a standard
ChunkArrayHeader
header and variable sized elements.
If the return value is zero, there was an error. Call
ThreadGetError()
to find out what it was.
Include: socket.goh
SocketError SocketGetMediumAddress( char *domain, bye *buffer, int *bufsize, MediumAndUnit *mau);
This routine determines the local address of the connection using a particular medium. If another machine were to connect to this machine via that medium, this is the address it would use.
This routine takes the following arguments:
If the routine returns SE_NORMAL, then the address was computed successfully. The buffer buffer will be filled with as much of the address data as fit; the bufsize number will have changed to the total size of the address data--if this was larger than the size of buffer, then the address was truncated.
SocketError SocketGetPeerName( Socket s, SocketAddress *addr);
If a socket is connected, call
SocketGetPeerName()
to get the address of the socket at the other end of the connection.
This routine takes the following arguments:
SocketAddress
structure. The
SA_domain
,
SA_domainSize
, and
SA_addressSize
fields should be initialized. The buffer should be large enough to hold a
SocketAddress
structure and address data.
It returns SE_NORMAL (i.e., zero) if there was no error; otherwise it will return some
SocketError
value. The addr buffer will be filled in with address information. If either the domain name or address buffer isn't large enough to hold its string, the resulting truncated string will not be null-terminated.
Include: socket.goh
SocketError SocketGetSocketName( Socket s, SocketAddress *addr);
To find out the address used to represent the socket's own side of the connection, call
SocketGetSocketName()
.
This routine takes the following arguments:
SocketAddress
structure. The
SA_domain
,
SA_domainSize
, and
SA_addressSize
fields should be initialized. The buffer should be large enough to hold a

int SocketGetIntSocketOption( Socket skt, SocketOption opt);
This routine checks one of a socket's options, returning the current setting for that option. The return value's meaning depends upon the passed
This routine takes the following arguments:
