Wicd-<IP_ADDRESS>
Introduction to Wicd
Wicd is a network manager written
in Python. It simplifies network setup by automatically detecting
and connecting to wireless and wired networks. Wicd includes
support for WPA authentication and DHCP configuration. It provides
Curses- and GTK-based graphical frontends for user-friendly
control. An excellent KDE-based frontend is also available
here.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.6
systemd platform.
Note
Make sure you disable systemd-networkd service or
make it not configure the connections you want to manage with
Wicd.
Package Information
Wicd Dependencies
Note
Wicd uses ifconfig
to activate network connections. ifconfig is provided by both
the Inetutils and Net-tools packages. The Inetutils package is
part of LFS, but the ifconfig command is not
installed by the LFS instructions. If you choose to install the
Inetutils version of ifconfig
, you
need to reinstall the package and configure it without the
--disable-ifconfig
switch.
Required
Python-2.7.8, D-Bus Python-1.2.0, Wireless
Tools-29, and Net-tools-CVS_20101030 (Wicd needs
ifconfig and
mii-tool from this
package)
Recommended
PyGTK-2.24.0 (for the GTK frontend), wpa_supplicant-2.2 (for WPA support), and
dhcpcd-6.4.3 or DHCP-4.3.1 (for DHCP support)
Optional
pm-utils-1.4.1 (for suspend/resume
integration), Urwid (for the Curses-based
frontend), and Babel (for internationalization)
User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/wicd
Installation of Wicd
Install Wicd by running the
following commands:
rm po/*.po &&
python setup.py configure --no-install-kde \
--no-install-acpi \
--no-install-pmutils \
--no-install-init
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user, install the
package:
python setup.py install
Command Explanations
rm po/*.po: This
command removes the international messages associated with this
package. The command is required unless Babel is installed. If it
is installed, po/ast.po still needs to be removed in order for the
build to complete.
--no-install-kde
: Prevent installation
of an autostart desktop file for KDE. If you use KDE, you should
instead install the Wicd
KDE Client.
--no-install-acpi
: Prevent installation
of suspend and
resume scripts for
acpid. Omit this option if you use acpid.
--no-install-pmutils
: Prevent
installation of hooks for pm-utils. Omit this option if you use
pm-utils.
--no-install-init
: Prevent installation
of any init scripts, as a bootscript is installed later in the
instructions.
--wicdgroup=<group>
: The group
that will have permission to use the Wicd client (default is the
users
group).
Configuring Wicd
Config Files
/etc/wicd/manager-settings.conf
,
/etc/wicd/wired-settings.conf
and
/etc/wicd/wireless-settings.conf
Systemd Units
To start the wicd
daemon at boot, enable the previously installed systemd unit by
running the following command as the root
user:
systemctl enable wicd
No manual configuration of Wicd is needed if you use the
graphical frontends. If you are only going to use Wicd from
command-line, you can configure it using the configuration files
in /etc/wicd
. For a list of
available options, look at the man-pages for:
wicd-manager-settings.conf, wicd-wired-settings.conf and
wicd-wireless-settings.conf.
Be sure to add all users who are to have rights to open and close
network connections with Wicd to the users
group (or the group specified with the
--wicdgroup
configuration option).

Arrays or Hashes
or Both?
11/16/2015
Hello Again Blog!
Today we will discuss a little about the basic ways to store data. The two most popular and useful ways to store data are in containers called arrays and hashes. They are similar but have a few very noteworthy differences in both performance and syntax/appearance.
If you are just trying to make a simple list, ex. for groceries, for favorite days of the year, or for things to remember to put someplace, arrays are very useful.
Hashes are great for storing things that have to be specifically stored in a certain way. So if you just wanted to write a list of days to mark off on the calendar as bank holidays, but it didn't matter what the names of the holidays were, you could make an array with the dates.
Creating an array is pretty straightforward. Brackets [] are the containers for an array. Give it a name, like $list
, set it equal to some brackets, like so - $list = []
. In between the brackets write whatever you want to be in the list and separate each item by a comma. Like this - $ list = [item_1, item_2, item_3]
$holidays = ["New Year's", "President's Day", "Independence Day", Thanksgiving"]
If you wanted to remember what about some day was particularly special and worthwhile remembering, for example, the birthdays of all of your family and friends, then a hash is the way to go. Each person's name in the Hash can be linked to a specific day for that person's birthday. Each pair of names and birthdays is called a key value pair. The names are the keys, the unique identifiers that link to a certain value, in this case the birthday.
The syntax for creating a hash is very similar to an array but with {} instead of[]. We could write $Birthdays = {}.
Filling up the hash is significantly different than filling an array though, each person has to be linked specifically to one day, and only one day. There can't be more than one day per person. Though certainly multiple people could be born on the same day, as indeed I was. I am not a twin, but my brother and sister are. So if I made a Birthday hash for my family three people would have the same birthday. there are many ways to do this. Today we will just use simple strings.
$Birthdays = {
"John" => "2/29/1982",
"Jacob" => "1/23/1945",
"Jinnie" => "5/5/1999",
"Heidi" => "6/7/1989"}


accuracy = self.accuracy(logits, y)
logs = {"ptl/train_loss": loss, "ptl/train_accuracy": accuracy}
return {"loss": loss, "log": logs}
def validation_step(self, val_batch, batch_idx):
x, y = val_batch
logits = self.forward(x)
loss = self.cross_entropy_loss(logits, y)
accuracy = self.accuracy(logits, y)
self.log("ptl/train_loss", loss)
self.log("ptl/train_accuracy", accuracy)
return loss
def validation_step(self, val_batch, batch_idx):
x, y = val_batch

Pizza a la francaise.
Born and raised in France.I learnt how to make pizza at the age of five. With my grandfather as a mentor, he showd me all the tricks and techniques on how to make a pizza. It stared out as a hobby just to pass time as I wan't that into sports at the time and I needed to pass time with something productive.
Right now I'm glad I decided to focus on it as a passion of mine and look at where it has gotten me now. We all have our inner passion and mine started making me money when I was fifteen. I used that to go to culinary school to learn from the greats and see hoe they approach there cooks.
Find your passion and hold on to it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
On the outskirts of bordeaux. I started out with a small popup tent where I sold pizza rolls an pepporoni pizza. I sat there for ten saturdays before I got any customers that weren't people who just came for the tasting experience. Luckily I wasn't paying for the space aroung since the owner was a close friend to my mother and worked in Paris.
I won't lie to you and say some magic-man came up to me with interest of scaling my business. It was pure blood, sweat, and, respect that got me here. My parents were big fans so as they went to work they would carry the pizza rolls I would make and share amongst there colleagues.
Interest grew and some of there colleagues would show up on the saturdays to know the chef behind the cook. Slowly the number increased to the point that I had to stay up all night to make enough dough for the saturday customers. Soon I had to move to larger spaces to accomodate the customers and found myself in a space in the main city. From there I hit the ground running.
As they say, the rest was historyHawaiian

Exercises
Seated Rotation {Trunk Twisters}
- Sit “tall” in neutral spine.
- Perform “active sitting” by lightly contracting the glutes. Following your hands with your head, Rotate as far as active {ROM} range of motion allows, Generate all movement from the trunk.
- Keep feet shoulder width apart, heels & toes on the floor
- Remember to breathe! Exhale when you pull inhale when you return to start position.
Wood Chop
- Door Attachment: Lower Leg Level.
- Stand in a wide stance with the feet parallel to the door.
- Shift body weight to foot closest to the door with knee bent, torso hinged slightly forward, and hip back while keeping the opposite leg straight
- Hold one strap in each hand and clasp hands together.
- Straighten arms with hands along side of bent knee closest to door and reach toward attachment site.
- Keep same side foot pointed slightly outward toward door, and the opposite foot pointed forward with hips and body facing door.
- Keep wrists firm and unbent.
- Slowly rotate torso and pull diagonally upward and across body with hands ending above opposite shoulder.
- Simultaneously straighten body and shift body weight laterally to the foot furthest from door while keeping foot flat on the floor.
- End with arm closest to door straight and leg furthest from door bent, with hip back, heel of foot closest to door off floor, and back straight.
- Hold and slowly return to start position. Remember to Breathe!
Lunge w/Trunk Twist
- This movement involves a rotational lunge in combination with a bilateral rotational arm movement
- Start with a tall body line, grabbing the handle of the band at chest height and arms straight – as shown
- The band is positioned off to one side – Note: you will be lunging away from the band
- Perform a rotational lunge. At the end range of motion of the twisting lunge, perform a bilateral arm rotation through the torso and shoulders towards the lunge leg – as shown
- Push back with the lunge leg to starting position and return arms to center
- Repeat for the desired amount of reps. Remember to breathe! Exhale when you lunge.
Up Right Row
- This movement involves a very slight deadlift, then shrug, to an upright row
- Begin with a very light weight as technique is crucial (approx. 30% of normal upright row weight)
- Grip the bar about shoulder width apart thumbs over the bar and point the elbows away from each other
- The idea is to look straight ahead, perform a slight deadlift {flat back, knees slightly bent} lower the bar about 4 inches.
- As you accelerate the body to a straight position, the shoulders and arms will naturally stretch and carry weight perform shoulder shrug
- As you near full extension in the hips, keep driving the head up towards the ceiling… NEVER LEAN BACK .keep the wrists tucked towards the body and use the momentum created to perform an upright row
- Lower under control and repeat for desired number of reps.
- Remember to breathe! Exhale when you row, inhale when lowering.
Stability
Ball Cobra/Back Extension
- Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward.
- Squeeze Glutes and SLOWLY draw the shoulder blades backward and downward while externally rotating the hands so the palms face away from the legs.
- The chin should be tucked in while lifting the torso off the stability ball. Hold position for 2 seconds..
- As strength increases, repetitions may be held for longer periods. Do not allow the head to extend backward.
- The chin should stay tucked.
- If you experience discomfort in the low back, concentrate on squeezing the glutes Keep feet straight ahead throughout the entire exercise.
- Remember to breathe! Inhale in forward position, Exhale when extension is performed.
Pronated
Stability Ball Leg Raise- Lower Back
- Lift both legs toward the ceiling as far as Range Of Motion allows (you should not hyper-extend your lower back), lower both legs to starting position and then repeat.
- Control is essential, don’t rush through any part of the movement.
- If you feel any discomfort in back discontinue the exercise.
Stability
Ball Crunch
- The stability ball It should be placed on the lower back and your feet should not have to be placed under anything to stabilize yourself. If you are moving too much, move the ball further up your back accordingly. Draw your lower abdomen inward toward your spine before initiating the movement.
- While maintaining the draw-in maneuver, curl the entire spine up starting from the neck region.
- While still maintaining the draw-in maneuver, lower slowly as far as you can control.
- Repeat recommended repetitions.
- The chin should be tucked toward the chest throughout the movement.
- Experiment with different arm positions to vary the level of difficulty.
- Remember to breathe! Exhale when the crunch is performed Inhale when lying back.
Abdominal
Crunch – Incline
- Pull the ribs down toward the hips.
- Stabilize the neck and pelvis – this is the most common problem and needs to be addressed initially.
- Avoid thrusting the body forward and also control your lowering movement.
- The ball does not move.
- The closer the buttocks are to the floor, the less load on the abs and more load on the quads for stabilization.
- Remember to breathe, Exhale when crunch is performed, Inhale when lying back.
- The further away the seat is from the floor, the more load is placed on the abs and less on the quads for stabilization.
- You can vary the degree of incline by re-positioning the body.
Forward
Lunge w/Tricep Extension-Rear Arm
- While maintaining total body alignment, step forward descending slowly by bending at the hips, knees, and ankles, keep most of your weight in the forward leg and AVOID letting your back knee touch the ground.
- In the deepest part of the lunge, flex the trunk forward and perform a kickback motion for the triceps.
- Bring the weights back down slowly, extend the trunk back to upright aligned position.
- Use your hip and thigh muscles to push yourself up and back to the starting position.
- Remember to breathe! Exhale when Lunge/extension is performed.
- Inhale when returning to start position
- Progressions: multiplanar (sagittal, frontal, transverse) dumbbell – to tubing
Supine
Tricep Extension- Rear Arm
- Using the triceps in a controlled manner, flex elbows (hands moving back toward shoulders) as far as can be controlled.
- Do not move the shoulders. All motion comes from elbows.
- Range of motion is determined by the ability to maintain tension on the triceps, extend elbow through full range of motion.
- Maintain stability and repeat.
- Optimal postural alignment must be maintained throughout the entire movement.
Your goal is triceps emphasis, maintain upper arm positioning.
This movement involves a supine {face-up} body position with a dumbbell Tricep extension Start lying supine {face-up} on the step, or bench, back flat and the arms perpendicular to the ground Start with light weights and perform an elbow end/extension motion Return to the start position and repeat.Keep the back pressed flat on the surface, you may lift the feet off the floor in a fetal position for more back support.
Remember to breathe! Inhale when lowering the weights, Exhale when extension is performed.
Tricep
Kickback
- From the start position, draw your belly button inward toward your spine.
- Maintaining optimal alignment, lift your arm so the humerus (upper arm) is parallel to the floor.
- While maintaining upper arm position, slowly extend your elbow, hold and return (flex elbow).
- Concentrate on keeping your upper arm stationary and parallel to the floor.
- Maintain optimal alignment throughout the entire exercise.
- A common mistake is letting the head hyperextend. It is critical to maintain cervical alignment. The head/neck should maintain position over the shoulders while looking straight DOWN (looking up from a bent-over position hyper-extends the neck). Remember to breathe! Inhale when lowering the weights, Exhale when extension is performed
Bicep
Curl – 1 Arm Concentration w/ Stability Ball
- Sitting on the ball, spread feet apart then place elbow inside knee and allow arm to hang.
- Use opposite hand to support upper body.
- Keep lower back flat and back in optimal postural alignment. Lift weight upwards towards the chest, due to position of the chest this will allow the weight to come to the correct height. At the completion of the lift slowly lower the weight to the starting position and repeat. Keep the movements controlled, don’t rush. If you do not have a stability ball use a chair, bench, or any flat surface.
- Remember to breathe! Inhale when lowering the weights, Exhale when curl is performed.
Bicep
Bicep - Standing
- Stand on both legs with feet pointing straight ahead and knees slightly bent.
- Maintain a drawn in position throughout the exercise.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand with arms extended by side of body.
- Maintaining level hips and the drawn in position, perform a bicep curl by flexing the elbow.
- Keep shoulder blades retracted {pulled back} throughout the exercise.
- Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the side of the body by extending the elbow to lock position, repeat.
- Remember to breathe! Inhale when lowering the weights, Exhale when curl is performed.
Squat
Against Wall with Stability Ball
- Position ball in the small of the back.
- Spread feet shoulder width apart and forward of knees. Lower hips towards floor until they reach knee height at that point stop and return to starting position then repeat. Be sure that you are able to see your toes, the best way is to stick the buttocks out.
- To progress perform the same movement without the Stability Ball remember to breathe! Inhale on the way down, Exhale on the way up
Medicine
Ball Extention Flex
- Draw your belly button inward toward your spine.
- From the squat position, squeeze glutes to start extension at the ankle, knee, hip and spine.
- Flex shoulders overhead as far as can maintain neutral spine
DO NOT ARCH BACK! - Lower to starting position, repeat as required.
- If you don’t have a medicine ball use a dumbbell, or hands free and progress to weights.
- Remember to breathe. Exhale when extending Inhale during the squat.
Lunge
Forward
- From optimal postural alignment, draw your lower abdomen inward toward your spine (activating the deep stabilizing mechanism)
- While maintaining optimal spinal alignment, step forward and descend slowly by bending at the hips, knees and ankles
- During the descent maintain weight distribution between the heels and mid-foot
- Do not allow the feet to cave inward or shift outward
- The knees should track between the first and second toes
Side View
- Perform downward reps slowly and concentrate on the descent and the alignment of your body
- Only descend down as far as you can maintain optimal alignment throughout the entire kinetic chain
- Keep upper torso erect. Leaning forward is potentially injurious to the spine, knee and ankle. Note: Leaning forward may be a result of poor hip joint flexibility and a weak core
- While maintaining tight lower abdomen
- Remember to breathe! Exhale when Lunge/extension is performed, Inhale when returning to start position
Stability
Ball Leg Curl
- This version of the leg curl is one of the most demanding hamstring exercises you will find. One should at least have an intermediate level of workout experience before attempting this exercise. A certain degree of muscle control is required in order to be able to stabilize the ball. But with a bit of practice, anyone can master this exercise. It is important to thoroughly warm up your hamstrings before performing this exercise, as he starting resistance level is high.
- Start on your back with your heels/ankles on top of the stability ball. Place your hands by your sides, palms face down. Next, lift your hips off the ground. As the hips come up, use your leg muscles to roll the ball in toward the butt. Your knees should bend to at least 90 degrees or more. In the fully bent position, your shoe soles should be firmly on the ball. Finally, slowly return to the starting position and repeat the movement.
Stability
Ball Dumbell Press
- Sit on top of a stability ball holding the dumbbells.
- Walk the feet out as you recline back on the ball until only the shoulders are on the ball.
- Make sure that the glutes and abs are tight and that your body is in a straight line.
- Perform the dumbbell bench press set.
- Bring the dumbbells back in close to the chest as you walk the feet back in and curl up..
Stability
Ball Lat Roll
- Assume a kneeling position on the floor with your hands and forearms resting on the ball about shoulder width apart.
- Before initiating the movement, set yourself in an optimal postural position. From the start position, draw your belly button inward toward your spine. Maintaining optimal posture, flex the shoulders while extending the hips. The shoulders and hips must move together while spine is stabilized. Return to the start position when the abdominals can no longer stabilize.
Stability
Ball Abdominal Crunch
- Lie facedown on the across the ball. Hands are slightly wider than shoulder width place shins on the stability ball.  Bring your legs back into extension AVOID letting your back sag by keeping the core engaged and tightening the glutes and lats. {middle back muscles}.


@Beta
public class SyntacticSubstitute
extends java.lang.Object
A class providing a static method for substituting symbols or function applications in an expression
by another expression (not subject itself to the same substitution, which would either not occur or lead to an infinite recursion).
This is a simpler, less exhaustive version of SemanticSubstitute
that takes into account only syntactic information,
that is, it only replaces an expression by a value if the expression is represented with the same symbols
as the originally searched ones. Here are a few examples to make this more clear:
Replacing a symbol works as one would expect:
Replacing X
by 99 in foo
returns foo
Replacing X
by 99 in X
returns 99
However, quantifications need to be taken into account:
replacing X
by 99 in X + if there exists X : X = 9 then X else 0
returns 99 + if there exists X : X = 9 then 99 else 0
because the quantified X works as a distinct variable. Its scope is limited to the if's condition,
so the X in the then branch corresponds to the original X.
When replacing a function substitution, the function's corresponding "cell" has its value replaced.
Here are some examples:
Replacing f(10)
by 99 in f(9)
returns f(9)
Replacing f(Y)
by 99 in f(Y)
returns 99
Replacing f(10)
by 99 in f(X)
returns f(X)
even though, semantically speaking, X
could be equal to 10
.
Semantic substitution would have returned if X = 10 then 99 else f(X)
Replacing f(Y)

Michelle Visage's secret battle as disease from breast implants caused hair loss and panic attacks
The Strictly contestant has opened up about an illness she battled for years due to breast implants she had at 21
by Tiffany WallisStrictly contestant Michelle Visage has got candid about her secret battle with a rare disease.
The reality star, 51, opened up about the heartbreaking side effects caused by a rare disease she struggled with in secret for years due to her old breast implants.
Following a breast augmentation at 21-years-old, Michelle was diagnosed with the rare Hashimoto's disease which can cause weight gain and depression.
The auto immune disease, which attacks the thyroid gland, left the Drag Race judge with unexplainable symptoms so she was forced to carry out her own research.
She said: "My skin was crackly dry and my hair was falling out in clumps. I was also having hardcore panic attacks.
"My journey goes back to me getting breast implants at the age of 21. My body couldn't fight off the attacker because it was there 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
The telly star battled the secret health problem for decades which led to her hair falling out in clumps and her suffering with crippling panic attacks.
The Strictly star had the implants removed 30 years after getting them done and has since seen improvements.
She said: "Since having them removed, the thyroid nodule is going down, which is amazing."
The star also revealed how she discovered over 50,000 women with similar issues from their breast implants on Facebook .
The New Jersey native faced the gruelling 20 year battle with the disease alone, and even feared it was cancer at one point.
She recently told OK! magazine: "It's not cancer, thank God.
"I got the report that it was benign the day I was coming to England for Strictly."
The flamboyant star is currently competing hit BBC dance competition Strictly Come Dancing alongside her professional partner Giovanni Pernice.
The judge on RuPaul's Drag Race was the first contestant to reach a lofty score of 39 when she performed the foxtrot on Halloween .
In last weekend's show the couple once again flew close to the top of the leaderboard when they netted 34 for their stunning Paso Doble.
In last night's show , Michelle and Giovanni danced the American Smooth to I Just Want To Make Love To You by Etta James and received a standing ovation.

Ten Movies That Shook Wanniski
Memo To Website browsers, fans & clients >From Jude Wanniski http://www.polyconomics.com Re #7 "A Night at the Opera"
Continuing with the "movie list," here is number seven of the ten films that most shaped my life. These are not my favorite films. They are the movies I've seen that have had the greatest influence on my thinking, my character, my life. Some are favorites that I enjoy watching over and over again, which you can tell as you read each entry. Try to think of your own experiences with films and how they influenced the course of your life. It makes life more interesting to be aware, as you live it, to know how things such as books and films and magazine articles alter your path in significant ways. Sometime last year the Sunday NYTimes "Arts and Leisure" section had a piece on how difficult it is to think of a movie that may have changed history. The only movie they could think of was a silent film by D.W. Griffith, Birth of a Nation, which had a scene about the KuKluxKlan that the author believes changed national thinking about the KKK. How silly. Each of the ten films listed here changed my history, and if I had not seen them, I would not have helped change history in the ways that I have. Films don't move masses. They move individuals who move masses.
7. "A Night at the Opera" (1935) This Marx Brothers picture was made the year before I was born, but I discovered it via my Uncle Vince, my mother's younger brother, the same fellow who introduced me to baseball, chess, classical music and a lot to do with politics. He was a left-winger who never quite forgave me for becoming a Republican. In my teenage years, the humor of the Marx Brothers absolutely convulsed me. I could not get enough of it after seeing this first of several the boys produced. My closest friend, Leslie Nathanson, and I would get the NYTimes to see where in the city a theater was playing a Marx Brothers film. I remember trekking from Borough Park in Brooklyn to 96th Street in Manhattan one Saturday, and literally rolling in the aisle with laughter. I've seen all the films a dozen times, but the "Night at the Opera" -- with Harpo suddenly selling peanuts and popcorn down the aisle of the Met, while the orchestra broke out into "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" -- was the craziest of all. Bob Bartley, editor of The Wall Street Journal, once told me I had taught him "the art of the outrageous" in presenting editorials traditionally written with lofty pomposity. It was Groucho, Chico and Harpo who taught me.

Dyatlov Pass Incident
This week, we talk about the unsolved mystery of Dyatlov Pass.
To the east of the Ural mountains, in Yekaterinburg city cemetery, there is a group grave of 9 members from a hiking group who died mysteriously.
Timeline
- Arrived by train at Ivdel a town at the centre of the northern province of Sverdlovsk Oblast on 25th January 1959.
- Took a truck ride to Vizhai (last settlement towards the north).
- Hikers purchased and had loaves of bread when they were in Vizhai to keep energy high.
- Started trek towards Otorten from Vizhai on 27th January.
- Yuri Yudin returned on 28th due to health issues.
- On 31st, the hikers arrived at a highland area and started preparing for their climb. They saved surplus food in a wooded area for their return hike.
- Snowstorms resulted in hikers being deviated from their intended path and ended up on the slopes of Kholat Syakhl (Dead Mountain).
- Group decided to camp on the slopes of Kholat Syakhl instead of hiking all the way back into the wooded area about 1.5 km away. It is speculated that the group wanted to practice camping on a mountain slope.
- Dyatlov had told his sports club that he would send a telegram from Vizhai no later than 12th February and that it might take even longer.
- It was not until 20th that the relatives of the hikers demanded a search be conducted for the missing hikers.
- The search party was mobilised and the military also took part in the search. On 26th of February, the search party found the tent that was used by the hikers.
- The tent was torn from inside and the hikers were missing. All the belongings including warm clothing and shoes were left behind.
- A set of footprints could be found heading away from the tent towards the woods, but after 500m, the tracks disappeared in the snow.
- At the edge of the forest, under a Siberian Pine tree, there was a visible sign of a fire that was lit.
- The first two bodies, Krivonischenko and Doroshenko were found shoeless near the fire site wearing only their underwears.
- The tree also had visible marks of someone having climbed it, with branches up to 5 metres broken. Someone seems to have climbed the tree to either escape from something or to look at something in distance.
- Further search in the snow between the camp and the pine tree revealed the bodies of Dyatlov, Kolmogorova and Slobodin. Their poses suggested that they were trying to return to the campsite perhaps for food and warm clothing. They were found at a distance of 300, 480 and 630 metres from the tree respectively.
- The four remaining hikers were not found until 4th of May under 4 metres of snow around 75 metres away from the pine tree towards the woods. These four happened to be better dressed than others and the ones who died later were wearing the clothes of the ones who had died earlier. A hastily constructed den was found near the bodies.
- Something happened on the night of 31st - 1st which lead to the death of all the hikers.
Inquiry
- An inquiry was started into the matter after the first five bodies were found. It was concluded that hypothermia was the reason for the deaths.
- The finding of the four bodies later presented puzzling details which changed the course of the inquest.
- Three of the four hikers had serious fatal injuries to the head and chest area.
- Doctors concluded that the force required to cause a similar injury would be something similar to that of a car hitting a person.
- Except for Dubinina who was missing her tongue, eyes, parts of lips and a part of the skull, no major external wounds were found on the bodies. It was later claimed that these injuries were a result of her being face down on the water.
Theories
- The inquest concluded that all the hikers had died of a compelling natural force. The inquiry was stopped in May and all the files sent to secret archives.
- Mansi: Mansi do not frequently visit this area and the mountain and they were not territorial.
- Robbery: No valuables were taken from the tent or the hikers
- Animal attack: No attack marks or animal footprints. This area wasn’t a hunting ground for animals.
- Avalanche: Most possible explaination but since the
- Soviet Military Projects: Bomb testing would’ve startled he hikers or caused avalanche. Radioactivity was detected in one of the hikers. Conspiracy theorists state that some of the hikers might have come across a secret military project and would’ve been killed by the military or died when they were pursuide. Interestingly, the bodies were searched for radioactivity which under normal circumstances is not a normal test. This raises further suspicions.
- Govt. Coverup: Govt wanted the investigation to wrap up quickly. For three years after the incident, the area was closed for genral public.
- Infrasound Theory: Infrasound causing panic attack.
- Katabatic Winds: Strong winds blowing down the slope were also claimed to have taken the lives of the hikers.
- Out of control partying: Excessive partying with alcohol or drugs, causing disorientation amongst the hikers.
Some hikers about 50km south of Dyatlov Pass who were hiking at the same time claim to have seen fireballs in the sky.

TensorFlow Lite is TensorFlow’s lightweight solution for mobile and embedded devices.
TensorFlow Lite is better as:
TensorFlow Lite uses many techniques for achieving low latency such as:
The most important tricky part while using the TensorFlow Lite is to prepare the model(.tflite) which is different from the normal TensorFlow model.
In order to run the model with the TensorFlow Lite, you will have to convert the model into the model(.tflite) which is accepted by the TensorFlow Lite. Follow the steps from here.
Now, you will have the model(.tflite) and the label file. You can start using these model and label files in your Android application to load the model and to predict the output using the TensorFlow Lite library.
I have created a complete running sample application using the TensorFlow Lite for object detection. Check out the project here.

That's it for now.

The Honda ST series, also known as the Pan-European in Europe, is a duo of Sport Touring motorcycles comprising the ST1100 and the later ST1300
Following the launch of the Gold Wing, which was very successful in the US, Honda's marketing team perceived that the European market (hence the "Pan European" moniker) would appreciate a lighter, sportier, and more manoeuvrable motorcycle. Introduced in 1990, the ST1100 was given a water-cooled 90-degree V4 engine mounted inline, instead of a flat-four engine (as in the Gold Wing). The ST1100 gained most of the Gold Wing's other characteristic engineering elements, such as shaft drive, a full fairing and integral panniers. Introduced to the European market a year before it was available in the United States, the ST1100 supplied within a sportier package the features required by touring riders, thereby filling a niche between the Honda VFR750F sports tourer and the larger Gold Wing.
The ST1100 had a 1,085 cc longitudinal 90-degree V4 engine. The fuel tank was located below the saddle (the tank at the usual location is actually the cover for the air filter) to lower the center of gravity and thus improve the handling.
It was manufactured by Honda between 1990 and 2002. A police variant, the ST1100P, was available for several more years.Weighing around 290kg, the ST1100 was no lightweight.
The bike was fitted with wing-shaped tipover protectors projecting from the side of the lower part of the fairing. These would not only protect the bike and cylinder heads in a crash.
The ST1100 was optimized for long-distance touring with the following features:
Weighing around 290kg, the ST1100 was no lightweight. The bike was fitted with wing-shaped tipover protectors projecting from the side of the lower part of the fairing.[10] These would not only protect the bike and cylinder heads in a crash, but, should the rider drop the bike on its side, would prevent this very heavy bike from leaning over so far that it would be nigh impossible to pick up again; the panniers also helped in this matter. The ST1100 low-mounted rear-view mirrors were particularly effective.

News story
The Education Secretary's plans to strengthen qualified teacher status (QTS) and continued professional development from September 2019.
In a speech at the Chartered College of Teaching’s inaugural conference, Education Secretary Justine Greening set out her ambition for a high-status teaching profession, backed up by high-quality continued professional development and pledged her support for teachers as the body of experts who are key to driving social mobility.
Addressing an audience of over 450 teachers, Justine Greening described the launch of new the College of Teaching as a historic moment for the teaching profession. Commenting on the launch she said:
Teaching deserves all the hallmarks of the other great professions - with a high bar to entry, high-quality initial training and a culture of ongoing self-improvement.
So it’s crucial that, like other experts, teachers now have a professional body with a shared commitment to ever-improving standards, disseminating evidence on what works, and driving progress for the profession as a whole.
And I especially want to see a new generation of teachers becoming part of the Chartered College of Teaching - to help safeguard and shape the profession’s future.
The Education Secretary also outlined plans to strengthen the teaching profession so that every child has access to an excellent teacher, including:
Underlining the importance she placed on ensuring teachers have the right support and skills so they are able to help all young people fulfil their potential, the Secretary of State said:
Teachers are the great drivers of social mobility in our country. We know that the single biggest in-school influence on a child’s life chances is the quality of teaching they receive.
It is important that all teachers are supported with the right framework that will allow them to become the best professionals they possibly can be.
I want to work with the profession to make sure this happens, with a golden thread through every teacher’s career from initial training and QTS through continued professional development, especially in those early post- QTS years, through to specialism or leadership.
Great teaching transformed my life, and I want to make sure that happens for today’s generation of children in our schools. I will do all I can to ensure teachers have the right support that will enable them to spread opportunity for children and young people - particularly those who need it most.

Proof-of-concept of a worthy alternative to the deprecated Google Shopping API
A client was looking to create a shopping search app for cosmetic products but unfortunately Google's Shopping Search API was deprecated in 2013 so I had to look for alternatives. My research brought me to Semantics3 and I spent the afternoon looking over the features and API documentation. Semantics3 organically crawls e-commerce websites, collects all the data and provides a robust product search API to developers and merchants to make use of this database. They provide product feed data for over 35 million products and 2 billion prices across 22,00 retailers with a huge list of developers who are using their product search API.
I really like their developer-centric approach with the API. It gives developers access to product data, including name, price, brand, model, color, size, UPC code, images, dimensions (width, height and length), weight, purchase links, search and filtering on all the parameters above.
I coded a simple frontend and backend via PHP; Semantics3 only allows 10 results per API call therefore only 10 results are shown in the demo.

iobw.tst doesn't match the given
"Maximum Disk Size" value
Issue: When preparing a new filesystem
with an value for "Maximum Disk Size"
(field in the Target tab of the Iometer GUI) other
then zero and bigger then 2 GB, then there is an
variable overflow. This overflow results in another
size of the iobw.tst file which then might be much
smaller.
Workaround:
a.) Before starting your test, create the iobw.tst
file (with the wished size) yourself using a
tool (e.g. the dd tool under Unix). Then use
zero as "Maximum Disk Size" - that
way the worker uses the existing iobw.tst file
and adapt to its size.
b.) Download the Iometer sources and apply the
iometer_large_work_file patch (#821482) which
was provided by Russell Reed. |

| Linux / IA32 |
Segmentation fault with Red Hat 9
Issue: Running Dynamo on a Linux machine
with a glibc (GNU libc) version 2.3 or higher
(having NPTL support) - Red Hat 9 for instance - it
comes to a segmentation fault after ending a test.
This hapens due to the shift from LinuxThreads to
NPTL (Native POSIX Thread Library) and the
incompatibilities coming with that.
Workaround: Before starting the Dynamo you
have to run the following command:
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 |
2003.05.10 and older |
| Solaris / SPARC |
Segmentation fault when having multiple swap devices
Issue: Running Dynamo on a Solaris machine,
a detection of the swap devices is done. If you
have multiple swap devices configured, the Dynamo
crashes with a segmentation fault.
Workaround:
a.) Configure only one swap device
b.) Apply the needed changes (provided by Robert
H. Creecy) on source code level (file
IOManagerSolaris.cpp line 1198):
wrong: strs = (char *)malloc(num+1 * MAX_NAME);
correct: strs = (char *)malloc((num+1) * MAX_NAME); |

29
1 Almost ten years after the Babylonians had taken us Israelites to their land, on the twelfth day of the tenth month of that year, Yahweh gave me another message. He said to me,
2 "Son of man, turn toward Egypt and proclaim the terrible things that will happen to the king of Egypt and all his people.
3 Give the king this message from me, Yahweh the Lord:
'You king of Egypt, I, Yahweh, am your enemy;
you are like a great monster that lies in the streams along the Nile River.
You say that the Nile River is yours,
that you made it for yourself.
4 But it will be as though I will put hooks in your jaws
and drag you out onto the land,
with fish sticking to your scales.
5 I will leave you and all those fish to die in the desert;
you will fall to the ground,
and no one will pick up your corpse to bury you,
because I declare that your body will be food for the wild animals and birds.
6 When that happens, all the people of Egypt will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have the power to do what I say that I will do.
The Israelite people have trusted that you would help them. But you have been like a reed pole in their hands.
7 And when they leaned on that pole, it splintered and tore open their shoulders.  Then the people of Egypt will know that it is he, Yahweh, who has the power to do what he says he will do, and that he will punish the people of Egypt for saying that the Nile River is theirs because they made it.
10 Yahweh also announces that he is against you and your streams, and that he will ruin Egypt and make it into an empty desert, from the city of Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, as far south as the border of Cush.
11 For forty years no one will walk through that area, and no one will live there.
12 Egypt will be barren, and it will be surrounded by other abandoned nations. The cities of Egypt will be empty and without people for forty years, and the surrounding lands will be the same. Yahweh will scatter the people of Egypt to countries far away.
13 But Yahweh the Lord also says this: That at the end of forty years, he will enable the people of Egypt to return home again.
14 He says that he will bring back the people of Egypt whom their enemies had captured, and that he will allow them to live again in the region of Pathros in the south, where they lived previously. But Egypt will continue to be a very unimportant kingdom.
15 It will be the least important of all the nations; it will never again be greater than the nearby countries. Yahweh says that he will cause Egypt to be very weak, and that they will never again rule over other nations.
16 When that happens, the leaders of Israel will no longer think of asking Egypt to help them. When Yahweh punishes Egypt, the Israelites will be reminded that they previously sinned by trusting that Egypt could help them. And the people of Israel will know that Yahweh the Lord has the power to do what he says he will do."
17 Almost twenty-seven years after we Israelites prisoners had been taken to Babylonia, on the first day of the new year, Yahweh gave me this message:
18 "Son of man, the army of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon fought very hard against Tyre, with the result that their heads were rubbed bare under their helmets, and their shoulders became raw. But Nebuchadnezzar and his army did not get any valuable things from Tyre to reward them for their hard work in that campaign.
19 Therefore, Yahweh the Lord says that he will enable King Nebuchadnezzar's army to conquer Egypt. They will carry away from there all the valuable things, in order that the king can give them to his soldiers.
20 Yahweh says that he will enable them to conquer Egypt as payment for what they did to Tyre, because Nebuchadnezzar and his army were working for him, doing what he wanted them to do, which was to destroy Tyre."
21 Yahweh said to me, "Some day I will make Israel become a mighty nation. When that happens, I will make them listen to what you tell them. Then they will know that all this has happened because I, Yahweh, will have done this."


THE THIN RED LINE (1998)
A film review by Steve Kong Copyright 1998 Steve Kong
I'm sure I'm going to take heat for this negative review of The Thin Red Line – but, hey, I'm not here to please everyone, am I?
The Thin Red Line comes out on the heels of Saving Private Ryan. The better of the two is Saving Private Ryan -- by a long shot. The Thin Red Line is a long and monotonous film that fails to get the audience attached to the characters in the film. If Saving Private Ryan was fast and visceral, then The Thin Red Line would be slow and methodical. The thing that Saving Private Ryan has over The Thin Red Line was focus. And without focus The Thin Red Line is unable to fully bring the horrors of war to us.
The Thin Red Line takes place on the island of Guadalcanal during the Second World War. It follows a group of soldiers who fight to take control of the island from the Japanese. That is about all of the story that one can grasp from the movie. The rest of the movie is split between voice overs, flashbacks, and shots of nature.
In Screenwriting 101, screenwriters are taught not to introduce too many characters too quickly. This is a logical rule to understand. If you introduce too many characters too quickly, you'll quickly leave the audience shrugging their shoulders. If the audience doesn't have characters to hold onto and relate to, the emotional impact of the film fizzles. With The Thin Red Line characters are thrown about like mad and I could find none to relate to; none to hold onto during the film. There is a character introduced briefly during the opening scenes, but he remains almost nameless and faceless throughout the film. The Thin Red Line fails in bringing the audience to terms with its characters.
The script by Terrence Malick is based on the novel by James Jones. I have not read the novel and cannot tell you how close the script sticks to the novel. The script though is slow and meanders. I found myself looking at my watch constantly during the film. The slow aimless script put with some lazy editing makes the film very tedious to sit through.
There are some good elements to the film though. First and foremost is the performance given by Nick Nolte. Nolte, whom I last saw in Affliction, gives a wonderful performance as a man who has waited for more than 15 years to prove that he's war-worthy.
The other thing to look for in the film is the beautiful cinematography by John Toll. In Saving Private Ryan we had a visceral and drained look which fit that film just right. In The Thin Red Line we have a colorful and vibrant look which is wonderful to look at. But, is also a good contrast to the things happening onscreen.
The battle scenes that take up most of the midsection of The Thin Red Line are technically brilliant – matching those of Saving Private Ryan. Though the battle scenes in The Thin Red Line are less gory, they still have the same impact as those in Saving Private Ryan.
What bothered me most, next to the lack of any true characters, is the fact that the director, Terrence Malick, has obviously put a lot of work into the film but has put it into all the wrong places. Everything about the film feels too worked out and there are times when the film wanders aimlessly. For instance, it was nice to see nature in the film; the crocodile, the wounded bird, the multiple wide shots of the forrest and island, but after a while the film felt like a nature documentary. Yes, a lot of the shots that I talk about are symbolic in nature, but, with half the audience nodding off, symbolism really doesn't matter.
Don't be fooled by the big names listed in the previews. John Travolta and George Clooney get one scene each and then they disappear. John Cussack gets some screen time but also disappears. Sean Penn and Nick Nolte are the two that get more than a handful of scenes. Do look for Elias Koteas as Captain Staros, he gives a performance to remember.
The Thin Red Line could have been one hell of a war film had a few things been fixed. First, the running time of two hours and 50 minutes could have been easily trimmed to about two hours. And the script could have been rewritten to give the audience something to relate to. As it stands there is almost no emotional impact from the script. I walked of the theatre untouched by the film. Catch The Thin Red Line on video, the battle scenes are incredible. Next to that, there's nothing more to the film.
[Rated R for Realistic Battle Sequences and Language. Running Time: 170 Minutes]

My primary interests are in using clinical data to gain insights and inform decision making. I am a passionate R and RStudio user for data wrangling, statistical analyses, and data visualization. I very much enjoy all things ‘data science’ such as statistics, fancy data visualizations, markdown, ShinyApps, etc.
I completed a PhD in Medical Genetics at the University of British Columbia in 2018 which focused on understanding the relationship between human epigenetics and aging. Specifically, I analyzed thousands of human epigenomic profiles collected from microarray experiments to characterize DNA methylation in a variety of populations but with the overarching theme being across the life course.

‘A is for Apps’
Nov 22, 2011
Long, but interesting and well-balanced piece in Friday’s Guardian about apps for pre-schoolers which may be of interest to many of you – there are connections here with some of the conversations we’ve had at Roehampton about interactivity in PGCE and Y2 lectures.
One of the contributors makes an interesting distinction between toys and games, although “The concept of a computer toy is something many children and their carers still have to learn to get their heads around.”
John Siraj-Blatchford is quoted: “A child’s computer time could be solitary, sedentary and of little educational value. Or it could be educationally rich, involving a group of children, for example, interacting together at the computer and encouraging off-screen activities…” This, of course, is as true inside school as outside.

Methodology Stage: #5 Evaluate
India only has 6.5 physicians for every 100,000 people with a ratio much lower in rural areas. In Vadamanappakkam, the closest hospital is too far to provide readily accessible healthcare. In its founding, Project RISHI donors opened a free clinic with the aim of addressing the high incidence of preventable diseases. Project RISHI has utilized Hesperian’s Where There Are No Doctors and partnered with local self help groups to implement various health education programs focused on increasing knowledge of and prevention of health problems such as diarrhea, asthma and blindness. We continue to monitor the impact of these programs by measuring the decreasing instances of patients affected by these diseases.
We aim to decrease the incidence of water-borne diseases through affordable safe drinking water kiosks, water delivery services, filtration systems and practical sanitation solutions.

Methodology Stage: #4 Implement
Despite many existing natural sources of water surrounding rural villages in mountainous regions, access to clean water continues to exist as a problematic disparity. For example, in Bharog Baneri, water testing showed levels of E. Coli that were not compliant with the standards set by the world health organization. Project RISHI aims to address the village’s poor quality of consumable water and the secondary health effects stemming from contaminated water. In partnership with SATHI, we have distributed biosand water filters, effective tools to provide affordable access to safe drinking water, to one ward of Bharog Baneri. Project RISHI will monitor the benefit of selling village consumers on the benefit of these biosand water filters and expand this program to additional wards accordingly.
We aim to help rural villagers secure a stronger environmental, health and economical outlook through hand-held solar power, fuel-efficient cookstoves and bio-gasification systems.

Smoke from open fire cooking is 4th largest factor impacting health in the world. 50% of the families, especially the women, in Vadamanappakkam are exposed to these fumes with resulting respiratory afflictions, eye infections, asthma, and lung cancer. These problems associated with solid biomass fuels could be reduced with efficient burning. Project RISHI has partnered with Prakti Design and Greenway infra to provide fuel-efficient cookstoves that will limit smoke emissions, decrease negative health impact and improve user productivity and savings due to decreased fuel consumption.

In rural India, less than half of 5th grade students can read at a 2nd grade level or higher. 80% of adults in Jhunpur, Tanda and Jagdishpur have never been schooled beyond the 8th grade, contributing to the high rates of unemployment and economic insecurity. Dedicating time to solidify basic skills in struggling students could lay a better foundation for socio-economic progress. Cal Poly Pomona has partnered with International Group of Institutions, a nearby pharmacy and engineering college, to tutor children in need and inspire learning with hands-on projects and workshops.
We aim to increase opportunities for farmers and laborers to generate more income through microfinance, drip-irrigation technology, access to mobile-technology and other entrepreneurial-driving solutions.

Methodology Stage: #2 Research
Mahila Mandals are support groups in rural villages that promote women’s empowerment through financial independence. In Bharog Baneri, this group aims to strengthen their economic independence by creating baskets with materials found near their homes. The work is so ornate that each piece can take days to create - resulting in beautiful products that can be very appealing to buyers. However, their market is limited due to the isolated landscape of Bharog Baneri. Project RISHI is working with college students in Delhi who have had past experience and success in expanding markets of rural artisan products to handicraft boutiques in Delhi. We hope to identify a successful implementation scheme that will cater to the needs of these village women and empower them in gaining better success with their business.
