MURDER AT 1600 1997 A film review by Timothy Voon Copyright 1997 Timothy Voon 2 :-( :-( for a rather ordinary corpse in the White House
Cast: Wesley Snipes, Diane Lane, Dennis Miller, Daniel Benzali, Alan Alda, Ronny Cox Director: Dwight Little Screenplay: Wayne Beach & David Hodgin
A dead body in the bathroom makes a smelly, blood stained mess on the floor. The mystery gets a little more baffling when the homicide takes place in the White House. The victim is a blonde, Caucasian female in her mid twenties who has had the honour of sleeping with Uncle Sam and the dishonour of also sleeping with his son. Such is the shroud of secrecy and hidden motives behind this slaying, that blame or suspicion falls on anyone having come in contact with the woman, including the janitor. The scene opens with the victim having gratuitous sex on the president's desk, before moments later being bludgeoned to death in a toilet cubicle. This is probably not the most sordid deal to have passed over the polished wood of this most distinguished table, but it does bring to mind that candid question - how many presidents have used this table for recreational purposes other than political?
Wesley Snipes has reprised his role as a tough guy, no-nonsense homicide officer assigned to uncover the layers of truth submerged beneath thicker layers of lies. Teamed with Diane Lane posing as an Olympic sharp shooter turned White House Secret Service Agent, together they strip away the thick coats of mystery to find the President at the bottom of the cake. This otherwise non-inspirational thriller has its moment of pure silliness when we witness a game of ‘murder in the dark' in a maze of secret tunnels beneath the White House. The evil navy seal is about to break Snipes neck in a death grip. Lane points her gun and finds her mark between the Seal's eyes and should perhaps win the award for best sharp shooting in the dark. If finding a target was this easy, give me a blind fold, put an apple on your head and I promise I won't miss.
This is the fifth tale involving the American President this year and takes a rather ordinary fourth place behind the more thrilling AIR FORCE ONE, the more corrupt ABSOLUTE POWER, and the more light hearted MY FELLOW AMERICANS. When access to 1600 gets as easy as opening a couple of metal grates, and roaming a few underground tunnels, I find it surprising that nobody has tried to blow the Institution away with some home made explosive. As for the excitement over a dead body in the White House, well people die every day.

Syntax:
terpri &optional output-stream => nil
fresh-line &optional output-stream => generalized-boolean
Arguments and Values:
output-stream -- an output stream designator. The default is standard output.
generalized-boolean---a generalized boolean.
Description:
terpri outputs a newline to output-stream.
fresh-line is similar to terpri but outputs a newline only if the output-stream is not already at the start of a line. If for some reason this cannot be determined, then a newline is output anyway. fresh-line returns true if it outputs a newline; otherwise it returns false.
Examples:
(with-output-to-string (s) (write-string "some text" s) (terpri s) (terpri s) (write-string "more text" s)) => "some text more text" (with-output-to-string (s) (write-string "some text" s) (fresh-line s) (fresh-line s) (write-string "more text" s)) => "some text more text"
Side Effects:
The output-stream is modified.
Affected By:
*standard-output*, *terminal-io*.
Exceptional Situations:
None.
See Also: None.
Notes:
terpri is identical in effect to
(write-char #\Newline output-stream)

Thus, the notion of abbreviation does not add expressive power to the lan-
guage of regular expressions – there are no additional languages that can be
deﬁned – unless the abbreviations are recursive (or mutually recursive, as are
sum
and
expr
).
The additional expressive power gained by recursion is just what we need
for parsing. Also, once we have abbreviations with recursion, we do not need
alternation except at the top level of expressions, because the deﬁnition

can always be rewritten using an auxiliary deﬁnition as

In fact, instead of using the alternation mark at all, we can just write several
allowable expansions for the same symbol:
aux

=
a b aux e
The Kleene closure is not necessary, since we can rewrite it so that

Previous Release Notes
CrystalSDK_2.0_build-0215-patch02 21/04/2010
Major changes
-
Created two SDK builds - APNS and noAPNS. This is due to a change with the Apple submission process that is now failing applications that don't have the required entitlements but are using the APNS API. Now, for all applications that use challenges the APNS SDK will need to be used. For all other applications use the noAPNS. Because Apple checks the API's being used within the executable the CrystalSettingEnableApplicationPushNotifications has been removed as this does not fix the problme with the submissions
CrystalSDK_2.0_build-0215-patch01 19/04/2011
Major changes
-
Added a new CrystalSetting CrystalSettingEnableApplicationPushNotifications to explicitly specify the applciation uses push notifications. This is due to a change with the Apple submission process that is now failing applications that don't have the required entitlements but are using the APNS API. Now, for all applications that use challenges this option will need to be set for the Crystal to communicate with Apples APNS servers.
Minor Changes
-
Minor fix to the gifting API so that it shows the gifts only
CrystalSDK_2.0_build-0215 21/03/2011
New Features
-
Crystal now includes a number of new features to help with the monetization of your apps. These include a virtual goods and currencies implementation with an off-the-shelf store front and a new viral marketing mechanism called gifting. Another notable feature is the addition of overlay UI components, that can be used for example for the unobtrusive display of leaderboards at a level-end screen. Most of the Crystal UI can be displayed in this way, allowing for much deeper integration of social features in your title.
The new features are outlined in this PDF.
-
Some more information on virtual currencies is available.
-
Some more information on viral marketing through gifting is also available.
Major changes
-
Implemented a new Crystal overlay user interface that can be used to display individual or multiple Crystal sections from any of the screen edges. This new overlay UI should complement the main Crystal UI and can be used, for example, to display a specific leaderboard at the end of a level or a news feed on a games front end. Further information and the methods available for using the new overlay UI can be found in the CrystalSession+PullTab.h file but any usage will require an updated theme file.
-
Added JSON.cs source file as part of Unity distribution. This file is required to build with Unity so please see the developer wiki for further details.
-
Reduced the binary size of the Crystal SDK library by reducing down the symbols being exported. This should result in slightly quicker linking and smaller application builds overall. Please let us know as soon as possible if this causes any problems when building an application via Crystal Developer Support.
-
Theme updates are required to use some of the new Crystal features. If you run into errors please contact<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and we'll arrange for updates to your existing themes. In the mean time please use the supplied UniversalIndigo theme for testing.
-
We have now moved over to using a single sign-on system rather than requiring a user to sign up before being able to use Crystal. This means that a user is now always determined to be signed in as either a guest or a registered user and any Crystal functionality that queries the current user signed up state has been updated to reflect this. Users using previous versions of the SDK will still be required to login as before.
Minor Changes
-
Fix for some of the dialog boxes appearing offset. These should now be centralised correctly
-
Fix for the time format of leaderboards to match times used by Game Center
-
Fixed a crash when selecting the 'Set Location' option via the Leaderboards
-
Added Unity support for custom leaderboard access, virtual gifts and virtual currencies. Also added some missing public API's to bring the Unity implementation closer to parity with the Objective-C API's
-
Added the ability to view YouTube urls embedded within the Crystal UI
-
The player ID can now be requested from the CrystalPlayer instance
-
Deprecated the CrystalLeaderboard positionForLeaderboardEntry method. This change is due to excessive server load when calculating the exact leaderboard positions so unfortunately we have had to remove this functionality.
-
Added a new - (NSString*) percentileRankForLeaderboardEntry:(NSDictionary*)leaderboardEntry method to the CrystalLeaderboards to return the new percentile based string information from the leaderboard data.
-
Fixed an issue with some dialogs appearing offset
-
Updated the Twitter implementation to use a dialog that will auto-rotate and has a semi-transparent background.
-
Fixed a problem with the badge icon sometimes being shown too large

git-help - Display help information about Git
git help [-a|--all] [-g|--guide]
[-i|--info|-m|--man|-w|--web] [COMMAND|GUIDE]
With no options and no COMMAND or GUIDE given, the synopsis of the git command and a list of the most commonly used Git commands are printed on the standard output.
If the option --all or -a is given, all available commands are printed on the standard output.
If the option --guide or -g is given, a list of the useful Git guides is also printed on the standard output.
If a command, or a guide, is given, a manual page for that command or guide is brought up. The man program is used by default for this purpose, but this can be overridden by other options or configuration variables.
Note that git --help ... is identical to git help ... because the former is internally converted into the latter.
To display the git(1) man page, use git help git.
This page can be displayed with git help help or git help --help
-a, --all
Prints all the available commands on the standard output. This option overrides any given command or guide name.
-g, --guides
Prints a list of useful guides on the standard output. This option overrides any given command or guide name.
-i, --info
Display manual page for the command in the info format. The info program will be used for that purpose.
-m, --man
Display manual page for the command in the man format. This option may be used to override a value set in the help.format configuration variable.
By default the man program will be used to display the manual page, but the man.viewer configuration variable may be used to choose other display programs (see below).
-w, --web
Display manual page for the command in the web (HTML) format. A web browser will be used for that purpose.
The web browser can be specified using the configuration variable help.browser, or web.browser if the former is not set. If none of these config variables is set, the git web--browse helper script (called by git help) will pick a suitable default. See git-web--browse(1) for more information about this.
If no command-line option is passed, the help.format configuration variable will be checked. The following values are supported for this variable; they make git help behave as their corresponding command- line option:
h'-04'(buh'+03'c
"man" corresponds to -m|--man,
h'-04'(buh'+03'c
"info" corresponds to -i|--info,
h'-04'(buh'+03'c
"web" or "html" correspond to -w|--web.
The help.browser, web.browser and browser.<tool>.path will also be checked if the web format is chosen (either by command-line option or configuration variable). See -w|--web in the OPTIONS section above and git-web--browse(1).
The man.viewer configuration variable will be checked if the man format is chosen. The following values are currently supported:
h'-04'(buh'+03'c
"man": use the man program as usual,
h'-04'(buh'+03'c
"woman": use emacsclient to launch the "woman" mode in emacs (this only works starting with emacsclient versions 22),
h'-04'(buh'+03'c
"konqueror": use kfmclient to open the man page in a new konqueror tab (see Note about konqueror below).
Values for other tools can be used if there is a corresponding man.<tool>.cmd configuration entry (see below).
Multiple values may be given to the man.viewer configuration variable. Their corresponding programs will be tried in the order listed in the configuration file.
For example, this configuration:
[man] viewer = konqueror viewer = woman
will try to use konqueror first. But this may fail (for example, if DISPLAY is not set) and in that case emacs*(Aq woman mode will be tried.
If everything fails, or if no viewer is configured, the viewer specified in the GIT_MAN_VIEWER environment variable will be tried. If that fails too, the man program will be tried anyway.
You can explicitly provide a full path to your preferred man viewer by setting the configuration variable man.<tool>.path. For example, you can configure the absolute path to konqueror by setting man.konqueror.path. Otherwise, git help assumes the tool is available in PATH.
When the man viewer, specified by the man.viewer configuration variables, is not among the supported ones, then the corresponding man.<tool>.cmd configuration variable will be looked up. If this variable exists then the specified tool will be treated as a custom command and a shell eval will be used to run the command with the man page passed as arguments.
When konqueror is specified in the man.viewer configuration variable, we launch kfmclient to try to open the man page on an already opened konqueror in a new tab if possible.
For consistency, we also try such a trick if man.konqueror.path is set to something like A_PATH_TO/konqueror. That means we will try to launch A_PATH_TO/kfmclient instead.
If you really want to use konqueror, then you can use something like the following:
[man] viewer = konq [man "konq"] cmd = A_PATH_TO/konqueror
Note that all these configuration variables should probably be set using the --global flag, for example like this:
$ git config --global help.format web $ git config --global web.browser firefox
as they are probably more user specific than repository specific. See git-config(1) for more information about this.

RFA: Center for Air Toxic Metals (CATM) (1998) RFA Text | Recipients Lists
Research Category: Targeted Research
Objective:
One of the primary goals of CATM is establishing a fundamental understanding of the fate of air toxic metal emission generated by the combustion of coal or other alternative fuels and the development of emission control strategies. The EERC has constructed and currently uses the CEPS as a well-controlled system for researching the impacts of toxic metal species formation resulting from combustion. The addition of a wet scrubber to the CEPS will allow CATM to test the effect that a wet FGD system has on emission control and metal transformations with regard to key elements like mercury, chlorine, and fluorine. In addition, the availability of a wet scrubber system will allow novel methods aimed at enhancing mercury removal in a FGD system to be tested.
The goal of the proposed project is to develop a further understanding of the potential to capture toxic trace metal species by wet-scrubbing the flue gas generated by the combustion of selected coals. Trace metal species resulting from the introduction of sorbent chemical reagent material for sulfur capture will also be evaluated. Specific objectives necessary to attain this goal include the following: 1) design a wet scrubber system for flue gas sulfur dioxide capture to incorporate into the overall emission control system for the CEPS; 2) procure, construct, and shake down the wet scrubber system components; and 3) conduct limited testing to identify and quantify the concentrations of trace metal species introduced and captured utilizing a wet scrubber system as part of an overall flue gas cleanup system.
Approach:
The current status of wet scrubber systems being used by the energy industry and utilities for burning coal or other alternative fuels was evaluated to allow design of an appropriate system. The system was selected, designed, and installed to allow representative chemical reactions to occur. Special consideration was given to the wall effects and other impacts related to the small size of the scrubber, and measures to counteract these effects were taken. The system was designed to be incorporated into the existing CEPS system.
Progress
A wet limestone scrubber has been designed for installation on the CEPS. During the design effort, careful consideration was given to methods to ensure that good gas-phase mass transfer would be obtained. A spray tower was chosen since it represents the most widely used FGD system. The proposed design consists of a 3-inch-diameter absorber tower with two stages (see figure below). A narrow angle full-cone spray nozzle will be used to introduce the absorbing solution into each stage. The absorber tower sump will also serve as the absorber recirculation tank. This tank will be used to adjust the chemistry of the absorbent prior to circulating it through the tower and/or bubbling reactor. Control of the chemistry is also critical for simulating a full- scale scrubber, and provisions have been made to accommodate chemistry control in the absorber recirculation tank.
Therefore, a second mode of contacting is proposed. After flowing countercurrent to flue gas, the absorbent would drain into a second contacting vessel equipped with spargers similar to some of the advanced FGD units (Pure Air or Chiyoda) that utilize bubbling reactors rather than spray towers. The flue gas would be routed such that it could flow through the spargers to initiate contact with the absorbent in the bubbling reactor and then flow to the spray tower or to bypass the bubbling reactor and flow directly to the spray tower. The absorbent, likewise, would be piped so that it could pass through both the spray tower and the bubbling reactor or the bubbling reactor alone. This would allow operation of the spray tower and bubbling reactors either alone or in series. This allows both contacting methods to be investigated. In addition, should the spray tower prove to be inefficient at removing SO2 because of poor mass transfer caused by wall effects in the absorber tower, the second bubbling reactor absorber can be used to ensure SO2 levels comparable to industry could be obtained.
The wet scrubber is designed to operate over a fairly wide range of conditions. A gas velocity of 4 to 8 ft/sec should be achievable with the L/G ranging from 25 to 200 gal/l000 acfm. Either forced, natural or inhibited oxidation should be achievable. Other variables that can be controlled include chemistry (pH, [Cal, [Mg], [Cl], etc.), and flue gas injection temperature. The inlet gas concentrations can also be adjusted to investigate the impacts of a specific component on scrubber control through spiking of the CEPS flue gas.
Rationale:
A current critical issue regarding mercury control is the upstream mercury species, because conventional wet scrubbers are currently under consideration as a possible method for gaseous mercury emission control. Gas-liquid contact time, gas diffusivity, and interfacial surface area are the limiting factors. Factors to increase or decrease these effects are already well characterized for commercial systems. The potential exists for reduced capture if mercury concentrations are highly elevated because of recycling of streams within the process. However, little if any of the mercury in gaseous, elemental, insoluble form is captured, even in the presence of aggressive oxidizing agents. Field data from nine process configurations compiled through DOE's project Phase I Assessment of Toxic Emissions from Coal-Fired Power Plants showed emission factors for mercury as high as 11 lb/l012 Btu, even for systems utilizing advanced wet scrubbers. Percent penetration for mercury ranged from less than 25% to 50% for systems with wet scrubbers. Current information, based on using the latest mercury speciation methods to sample at several full-scale scrubbers, suggests that wet scrubbers effectively capture almost all of the soluble oxidized mercury (e.g., HgC12) and capture little if any of the elemental mercury. Therefore, if wet scrubbers are to be considered an effective control method, the mercury must be in oxidized form before it reaches the scrubber. Several research projects are currently under way outside of the EERC to convert all of the mercury to oxidized form to facilitate better mercury control with scrubbers. This demonstrates the need to understand and be able to predict the mercury transformations that occur in the upstream combustion system.
A related issue regarding the transformation of mercury in scrubber systems is, what happens to the oxidized mercury that is captured? Although oxidized mercury capture in scrubber system components may meet an immediate need for reduced air emissions, the critical question is whether another problem is created. The final fate of the mercury is not complete until the stability of mercury in disposed or used scrubber products has been determined. At present, it is not yet known whether the oxidized mercury is chemically or thermally stable in the disposed or reused scrubber products. Most of the oxidized mercury forms captured are volatile, especially mercuric chloride, and thus appear to be highly susceptible to mobilization into the environment through desorption into the atmosphere or leaching into surface or groundwater. Several modes of transfer into the environment could occur upon direct disposal during wastewater and sludge treatment before disposal or during processing of commercial scrubber by-products such as gypsum. The potential for growing concern may exist about the fate of mercury captured from coal-fired power plant stack emissions as wet scrubbers are discussed in terms of mercury capture. The final fate of mercury in the environment is an important question for any mercury control method.

A simple hot and spicy marinade transforms humble chicken thighs into this Jamaican signature dish. Served in warm flatbreads, it will bring sunshine to your plate on the cloudiest of days.
 Smother the chicken in the paste, cover and leave in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.
To make the flatbreads, beat the butter and milk together in a bowl. Slowly mix in the flour and ½ teaspoon salt until you have a dough consistency.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured work surface until smooth. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place an ovenproof griddle pan over a high heat and cook the chicken on both sides until browned. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 40 minutes.
Place the rested dough on a lightly floured work surface and divide into quarters. Roll each quarter out to 3mm thick.
Using a heavy-based frying pan or skillet, heat a little oil over a medium heat and add a flatbread. Cook for 1–2 minutes on each sides, or until you reach your desired level of crispness. Serve the chicken with the warm flatbreads.


Linux Shutdown Command
Begining Shutdown Process
Updating the system
System will shutdown in 1 minute
Which is better, Windows or Linux? I know it seems like a troll question, but each operating system has it's benefits. One of my favorite features on Windows is it's automatic update during shutdown.
There is something so effortless about it.  Then up pops the automatic update. Ussually I just turn off the monitor and leave it.  It wasn't always like that though.
I remember when automatic updates first started on Windows. Back then, it would start the automatic update about 5 minutes after you turned on your computer. I would always wonder why my computer would suddenly get slow for a few minutes. Then I figured out how to turn off automatic updates to prevent the sudden slow downs. It wasn't until the moved the automatic updates to the shutdown process that I started using it again.
Now that I am on Linux, I think back about how simple it should be. On Linux, you are expected to manually update your computer on a regular basis to maintain a secure system. But wouldn't it be so much simpler if the computer automatically updated on shutdown? That is what I thought, so I made a simple shell script that will update the system and then shut it down.
#!/bin/bash
echo "Begining Shutdown Process"
echo "Updating the system"
sudo sh -c "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && shutdown -h 1"
Get the code on github https://github.com/7blink/shutdown
As you can see, it will just simply run update, the upgrade (with -y to force yes for all prompts), and then shutdown. You can save this into a .sh file and keep it on your desktop.
Make sure to add execution privileges
chmod +x "filename"
Then when you are ready to shutdown, just click on the file, click on run in terminal, type your root password, and it will install all the updates and then shutdown the computer when it is done.

Things to do:Camping, trekking, skiing, snowboarding, and photography


Some really silly foreword. : )
Welcome here~It's a place for
recording, and may be enriched later. This is totally a brand new
field to me. I don't know how far I can go and what the future
will be like. But I still do believe that I should have a try.
It may take much longer to be familiar with all these things to me.
But I will try.

No decision yet says Mahathir on Anwar joining the cabinet
- Advertisement -
Rumours are rife in Malaysia that PKR leader and PM-in-waiting Anwar Ibrahim will be given a cabinet post but Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir shot down the idea saying no decision is made yet.
“I haven’t made a decision yet,” Dr Mahathir said on Saturday to reporters after chairing Pakatan Harapan’s presidential council meeting this evening.
But he added, “Everything is possible.”
In a short response, Anwar said: “But I did not apply.”
- Advertisement -
This is not the first time Anwar said he did not apply for a post in Mahathir’s cabinet, but he did not say it will not be welcomed.
The Malaysian social media scene was abuzz with fake reports that Anwar will be appointed as the new deputy Prime Minister, a role he last held right before he was sent to jail by Mahathir in 1998.
Last week Dr Mahathir mentioned he might consider a cabinet reshuffle, and this went viral on social media too..
But the ‘euphoria’ of a change in the Pakatan Harapan cabinet lineup was short-lived after Dr Mahathir said any reshuffle will take place after November 2020.
Speaking of responses from Cabinet ministers on the news of a possible reshuffle, Mahathir said, “Well, they are not against it. They didn’t say please don’t reshuffle me.”
Unhappiness against Pakatan
The Pakatan Harapan leadership met on Saturday to discuss the massive defeat the coalition registered in the Johor by-election. The PH candidate was beaten by a whopping and shocking 15,000 margin. A defeat that left Dr Mahathir bloody-nosed as it is the first time as a sitting PM his party lost with such a big margin.
After the meeting on Saturday, Mahathir also said the government will look into what the people were unhappy about regarding the various ministries.
“If they feel that we have not done anything, we will try to correct it or if they point out that we must reshuffle, we will consider.”
Analysing the defeat, Dr Mahathir said the people were unhappy with the PH coalition partner the Democratic Action Party.
“So there appears to be a balance, both sides are unsatisfied. We cannot satisfy everyone, but the situation now is that people are not satisfied because we are being fair to both sides.”
He also said the Malays felt the DAP had taken over the PH and Chinese voters felt he was personally manhandling the DAP.

3 suspected cash-in-transit heist gang members shot dead by Western Cape cops, 8 others arrested
by Jenna EtheridgeThree members of a suspected cash-in-transit heist gang were shot dead and eight others were arrested near the Huguenot Tunnel in the Western Cape, the Hawks confirmed on Wednesday.
The gang, who was suspected of being involved in multiple heists in the Eastern Cape, had been travelling on the N1 near Paarl towards Cape Town when they were intercepted on Tuesday afternoon, said Hawks spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Philani Nkwalase.
After receiving a tip-off, a team was assembled with members from the Hawks' National Priority Violent Crimes Unit, Crime Intelligence, the Special Task Force and the National Intervention Unit, he said.
When the team approached the minibus taxi, the occupants began firing on the officers. Police then returned fire.
Nkwalase said three of the men were shot dead, two were injured and under hospital guard, and six were unharmed.
The team also uncovered an undisclosed amount of money in the vehicle.
The Independent Police Investigative Directorate (IPID) was investigating the shootings.
Those arrested face charges of attempted murder and possession of suspected stolen property at this stage.
The investigation continued.

blend(mode)
Blending operations affect how ‘old’ content on the canvas shows through new content drawn on top of it. By default the canvas uses the traditional ‘painter's algorithm’ in which each new drawing operation obscures anything below it in proportion to its opacity.
Setting an alternate blend mode changes the rules for determining how colors combine. Different modes will use color, opacity, depth-ordering, or a combination of attributes. Call blend() with a mode-name string to set a custom blend mode.
When used as part of a with
statement, blend() will first render the drawing within the indented block as a single layer (using the normal
blend mode). The layer's contents are then composited to the canvas using the specified mode.
To demonstrate the different available modes, we'll repeatedly draw the same foreground and backdrop images atop one another, changing only the blend mode. Note that the current alpha() level will also affect your results. Here's a pair of test images drawn at full opacity.
Call blend() with one of the following strings as an argument to achieve the desired compositing effect:
image("backdrop.png") blend("…") image("foreground.png")

Given a color, expressed as an HSV tuple, return the same color expressed as an HTML RGB color.
Parameters :
Returns :
string
An html rgb representation of the input color, i.e. a string that follows the convention #RRGGBB |
| Static parsePhylogramTree | ||||||||||||
parsePhylogramTree(dendrogram: string, id: string)
|
||||||||||||
|
Defined in src/app/utils.ts:135
|
||||||||||||
|
In order to use the application, the user needs to load Dendrogram structures from text files written in the Newick (or New Hampshire) format, such as the ones provided by the phylogram package in R. However, in order to use d3's hierarchical properties, we need to parse this text into an object with a JSON-like structure. We define an "empty" root node for the Dendrogram, and then recursively traverse the text file, searching for children and adding them to the structure.
Parameters :
Returns :
any
A reference to the root of the loaded Dendrogram |

The scaled point, as a two coordinate array |
| Static splitIntoChildren | ||||||
splitIntoChildren(rawTex: string)
|
||||||
|
Defined in src/app/utils.ts:258
|
||||||
|
The Newick encodes each node whithin the hierarchy as a comma separated, key-value array with the following structure: [ <node's name> or <list of node's children> : If the key is a name, then the current node is a leaf, otherwise, the key represent a list of children for the current node. The value component represents the distance measured from the current node to its parent node. A sample string representing a dendrogram is as follows: 'ADX.x2':0.52,('ADX.x1':0.36,'ADX.x3':0.36):0.16 Which graphically, we could interpret as:
Clearly from the example, only leaf nodes have a name.
Parameters :
Returns :
string[]
An array of strings, where each item represents a child of the current node. In our example, the return list will have two items: 'ADX.x2':0.5301862 ('ADX.x1':0.3647867,'ADX.x3':0.3647867):0.165399 Notice that the second child is an internal node of the overall dendrogram structure. |

PRACTICAL MAGIC A film review by Matt Williams
RATING: * * 1/2* out of * * * *
Based on Alice Hoffman's novel, Practical Magic is a partially enchanting film about the lives and loves of a family of witches. The film is never as magical as it needs to be, and it is harmed by some overly simplistic solutions.
The Owens family is a family of witches...stubborn witches apparently. For 300 years, their small Massachusetts town has persecuted and shunned the Owens girls. But, do they move away and start anew? Nope. They don't even put a curse on the locals.
You see, ever since one Owens girl was unlucky in love many many moons ago, any man who ever loves an Owens is doomed to die young. This curse doesn't bother the flighty Gillian Owens (Nicole Kidman), who thinks there are plenty of men around, so why should she get attached to just one? However, for Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock), the curse presents a problem... one she attempts to solve (but apparently unsuccessfully) with magic.
Flash forward several years...a desperate plea from Gillian, whose flighty ways have landed her in Florida, sends Sally on a rescue attempt. Apparently Gillian's latest boyfriend, Jimmy (Goran Visnjic), isn't a really nice guy. But when the two witches start using magic to get out of their predicament, they're unprepared for the dark forces they are about to unleash.
For the most part, Practical Magic displays the light side of witchcraft. There's one moderately gruesome spirit, but other than that, the magic here is as tame as Bewitched.
Sandra Bullock is a bit bland as Sally. She's likable, but her character cries out for a magical zest which never materializes. Kidman is a little better as the free spirited Gillian. At least she captivates your attention a little bit. But both of the leads are a little flat...too one note. They both seem more like short descriptions rather than full-fledged characters.
The supporting cast is a mixed bag of tricks. Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest seem to hit the right notes as Sally and Gillian's wise, doting aunts. But Aidan Quinn doesn't quite fit as a detective hot on Jimmy's trail. The townsfolk are amusing at times, but rarely believable in their convictions.
Practical Magic is a nice enough movie, but, on the whole, it's disappointing. Everything wraps up a bit too neatly, and the whole film is missing a certain charm. At best, it makes for a fluffy little diversion.

Boeing communication chief to retire before end of 2019
by Clyde HughesNov. 22 (UPI) -- Amid the company's ongoing struggle to return its 737 Max fleet to the skies, Boeing said Friday its communications chief will leave her post.
Senior Vice President of Communications Ann Toulouse will retire before the end of the year, the company announced.
Toulouse, 61, leaves at a time when Boeing is struggling to regain flyers' faith as it tries to win regulatory approval for a software fix that would return the 737 Max to service.
Toulouse rose to her post on an interim basis last year and the job became permanent a month before the Max fleet was grounded worldwide in March. She reported directly to President and CEO Dennis Muilenburg and also served on Boeing's executive council.
"This past year has been all-consuming and profoundly difficult for all of us at Boeing -- albeit nowhere close to the experience of the families affected by the Max accidents," she said in a statement.
Toulouse will be the second high-ranking female executive to leave the company since the planes were pulled from service. She said the lessons learned from the crashes and getting the plane back in the air will make Boeing a better and safer company.
"As we move into that next phase, I can best serve the company by turning over the role to someone with a fresh perspective," she said.
Boeing said it will name a successor soon.

Cyclone suspends JSC, JDC exams scheduled for Nov 11
by bdnews24.comThe government has suspended the Junior School Certificate or JSC and Junior Dakhil Certificate or JDC exams of Nov 11 due to Cyclone Bulbul, a severe storm which is nearing the coasts.
The JSC test will now be held at 10am on Nov 13, the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education announced. The JDC exam has been rescheduled for 10 am on Nov 16.
It follows the postponement of Saturday’s JSC and JDC math exams which were rescheduled for Nov 12 and Nov 14, respectively.
The eighth grade completion tests have been taking place since Nov 2.
Around 2.65 million students have registered for the tests this year.
The eight general education boards had scheduled the JSC science exam for Nov 11 while the madrasa board was set to hold JDC English test on the same day.
But the cyclone is likely to hit the Bangladesh coasts on Saturday evening.

Theresa Townsley, 38, suffered serious burns to her face and neck when she was splashed with acid at her Edinburgh home in November 2018.

Her partner, James Wilson, needed more than 40 stitches after being hit on the head with a spade in a row over a £13,000 car, a court heard.
Last week, violent Alexander Burke and his son, Alexander Burke Jnr, were jailed at Hamilton Sheriff Court for assaulting Ms Townsley, Mr Wilson and her sister in Lanarkshire in May.
There was no suggestion that incident was linked to the acid attack.
Ms Townsley, who has moved away from Edinburgh since the acid attack, told the court that Burke, 48, owed her partner £13,000 for a Ford Transit truck, so they went to meet him in Strathclyde Park.
But violence erupted when Burke, his son and other men arrived.
Ms Townsley fled the scene with her sister, Mary Jean, but her vehicle was rammed by a pick-up at a motorway junction.
Burke Jnr, 28, jumped out and hit the car windows with a scythe.
Ms Townsley told the jury as she wept: “He put the scythe through the passenger side window and tried to cut me.
“He was saying ‘You’re dead, you’re dead’.
“Burke Jnr smashed the rest of the windows then ran back to the pick-up.”
Burke Jnr was jailed for three years after being found guilty of assaulting Mr Wilson, who was left with permanently disfigured.
He was also found guilty of assaulting Ms Townsley and her sister.
Burke Snr was found guilty of the attack on the sisters and jailed for two years.
Related video:
The court appearance came a year after Ms Townsley's was attacked on her doorstep in the Gracemount area of Edinburgh.
A hooded man threw acid over her when she answered the door.
No-one has been brought to justice over the attack.
In a statement earlier this month, Ms Townsley said: "It was the worst day of my life and today (the one-year anniversary, on November 9) is the second worst as it brings it all back.
“Day to day it is still hard, just to go out of the house, to look in the mirror.
“Most of the time I am confined to the house.
“I am scarred for life. People coming forward with information could prevent someone else suffering as I have.”


Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park
One of the best places to visit in Vietnam for caving, World Heritage-listed Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park is a dramatic karst mountain formation honeycombed with huge caverns, which are home to superb stalactite and stalagmite displays. The most popular destination within the park is the Paradise Cave, which extends for a staggering 31 kilometers below ground.
The yawning caverns here are truly spectacular. Tu Lan Cave is a "wet cave," and a visit here includes swimming through the cave-systems river. The other most popular excursion is to the Phong Nha Caves, where the interior is accessed by boat. You can access Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park from Son Trach.

ACM UPV Chapter and ACM-W UPV Chapter are nonprofit associations born in the Computer Science Faculty at the Polytechnic Universiy of Valencia. As an active member of the board of both, my tasks were related to managing our relationship with the Faculty and other associations, making decisions about events and also taking good care of the branding and promotion of all the activities we are involved into.
When I landed at University, the ACM UPV Student Chapter had already been running for 2 years. Its aim? Offer students extra activities to develop their skills in the Computer Science field or just mess up with a new technology which has been driving crazy youngsters. After all, the best way to learn is by sorting something out by yourself. Besides, as the members are (volunteer) students too, the workshops management could not only endow them with organizational expertise but also plead for a higher purpose.
Together with the ACM-W association,
First thing first! A good looking logo to become known among students. Each of the many Student Chapters in Europe has its own unique brand, so why not having a custom one too?.
In order to relate the Chapter to the main association, colors and shapes were taken into account. Blue hues are distinctive of the International ACM Chapter, and the same thing happens with purple at ACM Women Chapter. Compared to the official logo, the ones designed for the Student Chapter revert the shapes (circle contained in a diamond): Circles become the most attractive feature while forming an inner diamond.
Each of the logos have been used for as part of the visual materials, mostly posters. Published online and/or hanged on the Faculty's wall, they did their job!
Aside of activity promotion, we also had personal bookmarks featuring famous characters that contributed to Computer Science, which were included in all the welcome packs (notebook + pen + backpack, all ACM-branded!) given at the time you suscribe to an event.
Women and men have evolved at the same rate. So did ACM and ACM-W. But why two different associations? We collaborate, we co-organize, we work together, we commit to the same causes. Let's merge and do everything together.
Time for a new logo! (And also a small sibling)
Freshened up and ready to go we continue together towards our objectives with more and more activities...
Computer Science Faculty has long started to promote women in tech by carrying out activities each year whose aim is to think over why there are so few female audience and encourage young ladies to join the tech field. "Bits en Femenino" ("Feminine bits" in English) is the event that embraces this purpose each 8th of March.
By being a Faculty's event, it has been gaining more and more weight each year, so they decided to team up with the ACM UPV Student Chapter as we commit to the same cause.
They needed a logo to represent the yearly event. One to express the whole meaning contained in the event title. One to concentrate all the intention.
After a few tries, the decision converged to a complex logo containing the "B" and "F" initials plus a 5 element diamond which represents a flower built by bits.


This folder contains the full source for the example shown in the first chapter of the tutorial.
The example shows how to create a simple application that produces TempSensorType information and another that consumes it.
To compile the example you need:
Once you have installed the required tools simply do:
$ cmake .
$ make
First start one or more temperature sensors (e.g. producers):
$ ./tspub 0
This will start producing data.
Then start the consumer:
$ ./tssub
USAGE:
tssub <filter-expression>
Where the filter-expression
should have the same syntax of a SQL WHERE clause. For instance, if you were interested in getting the data only when the temperature was higher than 28.0 C and the humidity higher than 0.65 then you could run the application as follows:
./tssub "temp > 28.0 AND hum > 0.65"
(id = 0, temp = 29.2647, hum = 0.669657, scale = C)
(id = 0, temp = 28.5219, hum = 0.742885, scale = C)
(id = 0, temp = 28.6268, hum = 0.665124, scale = C)
(id = 0, temp = 28.7411, hum = 0.664452, scale = C)
(id = 0, temp = 28.1886, hum = 0.670146, scale = C)
(id = 0, temp = 29.9059, hum = 0.726814, scale = C)
(id = 0, temp = 29.9059, hum = 0.726814, scale = C)
(id = 0, temp = 29.9059, hum = 0.726814, scale = C)
(id = 0, temp = 29.7783, hum = 0.730949, scale = C)
(id = 0, temp = 29.7783, hum = 0.730949, scale = C)
As you can see only the data matching the filter is being recevied in this case. You can try different filters to experiment and refine your understanding. Recall that the syntax that you can use is the same as the one of SQL WHERE statements.


ACM is the largest international computing organization. Well established in the tech industry, it provides its members with diverse learning opportunities.
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Chapter at UW Bothell was first founded in 1997, and through each iteration, it has implemented great changes and improvements. The current chapter was re-established in Fall 2017, facilitating collaboration among students with a focus on fostering professional and educational development in the field of computer science.

Pet Manager Waters:
Hmm... Let's see... I think I can put them together...
Voila! Isn't it beautiful? Look! The attack plan is written on it!
This is great! Send it to Sophya of the Black Lions.
