Calories
A calorie is a unit of energy. In nutrition, calories refer to the energy people get from the food and drink they consume, and the energy they use in physical activity. Calories are listed in the nutritional information on all food packaging. Many weight loss programs center around reducing the intake of calories.
How Many Calories Should You Eat on Average?
An average woman needs to eat about 2000 calories per day to maintain, and 1500 calories to lose one pound of weight per week. An average man needs 2500 calories to maintain, and 2000 to lose one pound of weight per week. However, this depends on numerous factors. These include age, height, current weight, activity levels, metabolic health and several others.
The Best Online Calorie Counters
Here is a list of free sites where you can insert foods you’re eating to keep track of your calorie intake: 5 Best Calorie Counter Websites and Apps. All of them are available online and include apps for iPhone/iPad and Android devices. It’s highly recommended to use a calorie counter for at least a few days, to see how many calories, carbs, protein, fat, fiber, vitamins and minerals you’re truly eating. Seeing the numbers like this can often be an eye opener.
How to Reduce Calorie Intake Without Starving Yourself
Calories are simply a measure of energy. It’s a known fact that in order to gain weight, more calories need to be entering your body than leaving it. Conversely, you lose weight if more calories leave your body than enter it. That being said, cutting calories without taking the foods you eat into account is usually not a sustainable way to lose weight. Though it works for some people, the most end up hungry and eventually give up on their diet. For this reason, it’s highly recommended to make a few other permanent changes to help you maintain a calorie deficit in the long term, without feeling starved. Here are 5 evidence-based diet and lifestyle changes that have been shown to help people lose weight in numerous studies.

i had just gotten home from being at my dads house and my friends had come to pick me up at the airport. My friend Al suggested that we should do shrooms so we went and found another friend and went to his house and made some tea. I had 2 cups of it, we put sugar and a tea bag in it and drank it. i was very happy and hyper before i started to get the effects we were all talking in the livingroom when i started to see things i took off my glasses cuz i felt like i could see with out them and i started to see things like in boxes which eventually changed to spiders they all fit together like an MC Easher piece.
From there on everything seemed sorta like a dream. I was talking to this boy Josh and his eyes kept shaking andpoping out of his face and turning pure black and they were very clear as apposed to everything else that was blurry with spiders then he got 3 more noses one on each cheek and on his chin. Then somehow i got in to this room and saw a face on the ceiling and it looked very sad. i got out of the room and started walking around and i went into the computer room where i saw a face in the curtains that i though was my grandma i knew it wasn't but it really seemed like she was there and she looked like a hippy with flowers in her hair and stuff, it made me wanna cry because i missed her so much. I kept going in and out of the room to see her.
Nothing seemed real anymore. People would ask my questions and i didn't know the answers to them like have you had sex, or you said you've done this before have you. I knew i had but i though it was fake like my past was totally fake. we went out side and i felt VERY clean and it felt really good so i was being like a little kid if felt great. i wanted to go on a walk and they wouldn't let me which really pissed me off so i just staied in the drive way because i though the road was a bad place so i was looking at the trees and such and i saw another face which looked like it was crying too like the others. the people i was with kept trying to convience me to do things i didn't want to do, like go swimming and i just didn't want to.
 Anyway we finally went in the pool the water felt great it didn't really feel like water either, anyway, our sitter suggested making a whirl pool with it so we started and my feet felt like they were sinking in to the ground which really started to freak me out so i sat on the side and i was talking to other people.
them boom out of nowhere i remebered (i never forgot) that i was raped as a child and it started to really get to me like it never has before i could usually blow it off and not think about it but i couldn't then and i started crying like mad. so we went back inside and we just decided to sit and talk for a while and my ideas were just flowing and i finally came up with a good reason of why i am a vegatarian and why i don't believe in god. Over all the experience was great and made alot of things clear to me. i didn't see that many crazy visuals but i just felt alive it was one of the first time i totally felt happy and not depressed even though everything around me was sad.

Our final prjects had to include four of the different processes that we had learned throughout the semester. I created a battery powered,
portable designed lamp. It is light weight and can be taken anywhere because of its long lasting battery. The top is able to come off, and even can store items
inside. I spent about 3 Digital Engineering Class and about 1 hour working on it after school. In total I spent 4 to 5 hours completing my final
project. I learned a lot about trial and error for my different designs for my final project, and I also learned more about the processes I used in my project.
The four process in the project are:
1) CAD
2) Laser cutting
3) Electronics
4) Sodering.
First I used the MakerCase software to aid in creating the parts of the cube. Then, I brought the design into the CAD software CorelDraw.
In Corel Draw I bitmapped the design, and centered it on all six sides of the cube. After designing the pieces, I used 1/8 inch wood on the
laser cutter, and cut out the design.
Then, I got 4 AA batteries, 2 resistors and 2 LEDs. I used the melted tin of the sodering machine to soder the resistors, LEDs and the power source
together to complete the crucit. One of the issue I had was getting enough voltage to power the lmap with batteries. I had to move from 2 AA batteries to
4 AA battries to power just 2 LEDs. I could have made it brighter with more LEDs if I could have higher voltage.
Once I made sure the cricut was working correctly, I used velcro pieces to attach the battery pack to the bottom of the lamp. I also added small wooden
wooden support pieces of 1/8 inch wood to make sure the lamp could be stable with the battery pack at the bottom. Finally, I glued down the LED
cricut to the bottom inside of the cube, and I glued the enitre cube together. I left the top piece not glued so it is possible to take it off
and even store stuff inside the lamp. I was able to put several processes I learned in the course together, and it showed how much we covered
in just one semester.

A letter that was never meant to be seen, a lie that was never meant to be told, a life he never dreamed he could have. Evan Hansen is about to get the one thing he’s always wanted: a chance to finally fit in.
Both deeply personal and profoundly contemporary, Dear Evan Hansen is a new American musical about life and the way we live it.
Dear Evan Hansen has struck a remarkable chord with audiences and critics everywhere. The New York Times calls it “a gorgeous new musical for anyone with a beating heart.” And NBC Nightly News calls this bold new musical “an anthem resonating on Broadway and beyond.”

For a rigid body, you can:
Rigid-body transformations involve displacements and / or rotations of the whole object. An object can therefore move: up or down; left or right ; front or back; rotate; and reflect across an axis (2D) or plane (3D). Whether you are dealing with a 2 or 3 dimensional object, the whole object must move. In other words, if you want to move one point up and to the left, then you must move ALL points within the object that same amount up and to the left.
Volume (size of the brain) is not affected by rigid body transformations.
For an affine transformation, you can:
Affine again effects the whole object as a rigid body and adds two additional transformations: scale and shear. Scaling means the object can increase or decrease in size. However, the ratio of each plane does not have to remain the same. You can increase the size along one plane only or all planes but differently. Shearing means you displace one plane, while leaving the rest of the planes fixed.
Affine transformations preserve proportions, it does not preserve volume, because it can change angles and lengths. Therefore, affine transformations automatically account of brain size differences, since affine transformations will make all brains the same size.
Based on the mathematical field of topology, the simplest definition is that through smooth, continuous deformation, one brain can be warped to look like another brain. Using diffeomorphic morphometry, this smooth, continuous deformation, preserves the topology of the brain (i.e., sulci and gyri). The solution (how and where each voxel needs to be moved) is bidirectional. In other words, the solution, warp field, not only solves the problem of how to make the participant image look like the template, but to make the solution more robust, also finds how the make the template look like the participant image. Because of this smooth, continuous warping, the errors inherent to nonlinear warping are reduced.
For reference, typically the fixed image is a template and the moving image is each participant.
ANTs has two shell scripts for running image registration: antsRegistrationSyn.sh and antsRegistrationSynQuick.sh. Both of these commands are simplified shell scripts of the actual command antsRegistration
. You can view the code in these scripts by running either:
One of the differences between the two commands is the number of iterations in the last iteration step. For antsRegistrationSynQuick.sh there are 0 iterations and for antsRegistrationSyn.sh there are 100 iterations. The other difference is the metric used for registration. For antsRegistrationSynQuick.sh, the registration metric is based on mutual information (great for multimodal images). For antsRegistrationSyn.sh, the registration metric is based on cross correlation (great for T1 weighted image registration). The options for each is the same, but for this class, we will just show the quick version.
Here the participant image (moving) was rigidly aligned to the template (fixed). As you can see the participant brain was moved to the same location within the field of view box. The size of the participant image was not altered.
Here the inverse warp occurred (a unique feature of ANTs). The template (fixed) image was rigidly moved to the same space as the participant image (moving). The warp matrix was just reversed even though the original mapping was the participant image (moving image) to the template image (fixed image).
For this transformation, rigid transformation is done first, then affine transformation.
Here the participant image (moving) was affine aligned to the template (fixed). The participant image was scaled to template. In this case the small participant image was enlarged to fit in the template space.
The opposite is true when the inverse warp matrix is applied. The template image shrinks in size to match the participant image.
For this transformation, rigid transformation is done first, then affine transformation, and finally diffeomorphic. You always want to do an affine transformation before a diffeomorphic transformation, because you want to eliminate brain size as a covariate. Therefore, any group analyses that result in differences is due to actual differences in regional volume and not due to general brain volume differences.
Here the participant image (moving) was warped to match the template (fixed). As far as possible, the participant image was nonlinearly morphed to look like the template. The participant in this case has some major brain damage and therefore the mapping isn’t perfect.
More drastic is taking the inverse warp and seeing how well the template can be made to look like the participant image. Particularly take note as how well or not so well the hippocampus and ventricles mapped! This was an extremely difficult case to diffeomoprhically warp because of the extensive brain damage.
The output from a rigid or affine transformation is a simple text file (not really useful). However, the output from the nonlinear deformation is a warp field. It is a 3D map that contains the data for each voxel’s displacement. In other words, the warp matrix contains the directions for where each voxel in the participant image (moving image) needs to move in order to look like the template (fixed image). Because the ANTs nonlinear warp is bidirectional, ANTs also outputs the inverse warp field. This field contains opposite information; it contains the directions for where each voxel in the template (fixed image) needs to move in order to look like the participant image (moving image). These warp field files are not useful beyond providing displacement information, but more on that later.

Pan-Pacific PyLadies Conference 2017
Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico
February 18th
About PPPC
The Pan-Pacific PyLadies Conference brings together women interested in the Python open-source community. We aim to foster technical development and camaraderie between women from across the pacific region. For our first PPPC we will focus on PyLadies in the United States and Mexico, as entrepreneurs, developers and Python open-source contributors.
Call for talks!
What is the Pan-Pacific PyLadies Conference?
The content inside of whatisPPPC.
Code of Conduct
Pan-Pacific PyLadies Conference (PPPC) is a community conference intended for networking and collaboration in the developer community.
We value the participation of each member of the Python community and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees throughout the conference and at all conference events, whether officially sponsored by PPPC or not.
To make clear what is expected, all delegates/attendees, speakers, exhibitors, organizers and volunteers at any PPPC event are required to conform to the following Code of Conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event.
The Short Version
PPPC is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form.
All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks.
Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees. Behave professionally. Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate for PPPC.
Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the conference without a refund at the sole discretion of the conference organizers.
Thank you for helping make this a welcoming, friendly event for all.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
Exhibitors in the expo hall, sponsor or vendor booths, or similar activities are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, exhibitors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.
Be careful in the words that you choose.
If a participant engages in behavior that violates this code of conduct, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.
Contact Information
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff. Conference staff will be wearing "PPPC Staff" t-shirts. You may also contact venue staff and ask to be put in touch with the conference chair — Tiffany Glenn-Hall.
If the matter is especially urgent, please call/contact any of these individuals:
Tiffany Glenn-Hall at +1<PHONE_NUMBER>
Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.
Procedure for Handling Harassment
Attendee Procedure for incident handling
This procedure has been adopted from the Ada Initiative's guide titled "Conference anti-harassment/Responding to Reports”.
1. Keep in mind that all conference staff will be wearing a conference t-shirt/button with the word “STAFF” on it (or otherwise clearly marked as staff). The staff will also be prepared to handle the incident. All of our staff are informed of the code of conduct policy and guide for handling harassment at the conference. There will be a mandatory staff meeting onsite at the conference when this will be reiterated.
2. Report the harassment incident (preferably in writing) to a conference staff member. All reports are confidential. Please do not disclose public information about the incident until the staff have had sufficient time in which to address the situation. This is as much for your safety and protection as it is the other attendees.
When reporting the event to staff, try to gather as much information as available but do not interview people about the incident. Staff will assist you in writing the report/collecting information.
The important information consists of:
Identifying information (name/badge number) of the participant doing the harassing
The behavior that was in violation
The approximate time of the behavior (if different than the time the report was made)
The circumstances surrounding the incident
Other people involved in the incident
The staff is well informed on how to deal with the incident and how to further proceed with the situation.
3. If everyone is presently physically safe, involve law enforcement or security only at a victim's request. If you do feel your safety in jeopardy please do not hesitate to contact local law enforcement by dialing WHAT IS 911 IN MEXICO?. If you do not have a cell phone, you can use any hotel phone or simply ask a staff member.
Note: Incidents that violate the Code of Conduct are extremely damaging to the community, and they will not be tolerated. The silver lining is that, in many cases, these incidents present a chance for the offenders, and the community at large, to grow, learn, and become better. PPPC staff requests that they be your first resource when reporting a PPPC-related incident, so that they may enforce the Code of Conduct and take quick action toward a resolution.
A listing of PPPC staff is located here, including contact phone numbers. If at all possible, all reports should be made directly to Tiffany Glenn-Hall (Event Coordinator).
Staff Procedure for incident handling
This procedure has been adopted from the Ada Initiative's guide titled "Conference anti-harassment/Responding to Reports”.
Be sure to have a good understanding of our Code of Conduct policy, which can be found here:
Also have a good understanding of what is expected from an attendee that wants to report a harassment incident. These guidelines can be found here: /2013/about/code-of-conduct/harassment-incidents/
Try to get as much of the incident in written form by the reporter. If you cannot, transcribe it yourself as it was told to you. The important information to gather include the following:
Identifying information (name/badge number) of the participant doing the harassing
The behavior that was in violation
The approximate time of the behavior (if different than the time the report was made)
The circumstances surrounding the incident
Other people involved in the incident
Prepare an initial response to the incident. This initial response is very important and will set the tone for PPPC. Depending on the severity/details of the incident, please follow these guidelines:
If there is any general threat to attendees or the safety of anyone including conference staff is in doubt, summon security or police
Offer the victim a private place to sit
Ask "is there a friend or trusted person who you would like to be with you?" (if so, arrange for someone to fetch this person)
Ask them "how can I help?"
Provide them with your list of emergency contacts if they need help later
If everyone is presently physically safe, involve law enforcement or security only at a victim's request
There are also some guidelines as to what not to do as an initial response:
Do not overtly invite them to withdraw the complaint or mention that withdrawal is OK. This suggests that you want them to do so, and is therefore coercive. "If you're OK with it [pursuing the complaint]" suggests that you are by default pursuing it and is not coercive.
Do not ask for their advice on how to deal with the complaint. This is a staff responsibility.
Do not offer them input into penalties. This is the staff's responsibility.
Once something is reported to a staff member, immediately meet with the conference chair and/or event coordinator. The main objectives of this meeting is to find out the following:
What happened?
Are we doing anything about it?
Who is doing those things?
When are they doing them?
After the staff meeting and discussion, have a staff member (preferably the conference chair or event coordinator if available) communicate with the alleged harasser. Make sure to inform them of what has been reported about them.
Allow the alleged harasser to give their side of the story to the staff. After this point, if the report stands, let the alleged harasser know what actions will be taken against them.
Some things for the staff to consider when dealing with Code of Conduct offenders:
Warning the harasser to cease their behavior and that any further reports will result in sanctions
Requiring that the harasser avoid any interaction with, and physical proximity to, their victim for the remainder of the event
Ending a talk that violates the policy early
Not publishing the video or slides of a talk that violated the policy
Not allowing a speaker who violated the policy to give (further) talks at the event now or in the future
Immediately ending any event volunteer responsibilities and privileges the harasser holds
Requiring that the harasser not volunteer for future events your organization runs (either indefinitely or for a certain time period)
Requiring that the harasser refund any travel grants and similar they received (this would need to be a condition of the grant at the time of being awarded)
Requiring that the harasser immediately leave the event and not return
Banning the harasser from future events (either indefinitely or for a certain time period)
Removing a harasser from membership of relevant organizations
Publishing an account of the harassment and calling for the resignation of the harasser from their responsibilities (usually pursued by people without formal authority: may be called for if the harasser is the event leader, or refuses to stand aside from the conflict of interest, or similar, typically event staff have sufficient governing rights over their space that this isn't as useful)
Give accused attendees a place to appeal to if there is one, but in the meantime the report stands. Keep in mind that it is not a good idea to encourage an apology from the harasser.
It is very important how we deal with the incident publicly. Our policy is to make sure that everyone aware of the initial incident is also made aware that it is not according to policy and that official action has been taken - while still respecting the privacy of individual attendees. When speaking to individuals (those who are aware of the incident, but were not involved with the incident) about the incident it is a good idea to keep the details out.
Depending on the incident, the conference chair, or designate, may decide to make one or more public announcements. If necessary, this will be done with a short announcement either during the plenary and/or through other channels. No one other than the conference chair or someone delegated authority from the conference chair should make any announcements. No personal information about either party will be disclosed as part of this process.
If some attendees were angered by the incident, it is best to apologize to them that the incident occurred to begin with. If there are residual hard feelings, suggest to them to write an email to the conference chair or to the event coordinator. It will be dealt with accordingly.
A listing of PPPC staff is located here, including contact phone numbers. If at all possible, all reports should be made directly to Tiffany Glenn-Hall (Event Coordinator).

Ants in this simulation do not know where they are exactly.
They only know what they see and smell. All other objects are unknown.
Each ant though can turn around and walk to perceive more of its surroundings. The direction and rotation are both relative to the ants current location and rotation.
Move command
The command looks like this:
[ActionType.Move, <Direction>, <Rotation>];
The direction parameter can be Direction.FORWARD | BACKWARD | NONE. Rotations are always given in radians relative to the ants current heading. If you still like to use degree just convert it with
var radians = degToRad( degree )
Examples:
[ActionType.Move, Direction.NONE, degToRad(25)]; // rotate 25° to the left
[ActionType.Move, Direction.FORWARD, degToRad(-15)]; // rotate 15° to the right
[ActionType.Move, Direction.BACKWARD, rand(-0.5, 0.5)]; // walk backward with a random rotation
Maximum rotation
The maximum rotation value depends on the direction.
Standing still allows the most rotation, whereas walking backwards minimizes rotation.
The exact maximum rotation can be returned by
var maxRotation = this.getMaximumRotation(<Direction>);
Rotation towards objects
By moving around the ants perception of the world changes. Distance and rotation to other objects are updated each iteration.
The rotation angle towards something can be returned by
var nearestFood = this.getNearestObjectType(ObjectType.FOOD);
var rotationTowardsFood = nearestFood.getRotationToObj();
Try it yourself!
Try to let the ant walk towards the green food source!

Galaxy Note 10 gets red and pink variants in US, $309 w/ Black Friday trade-in
by Ben SchoonSamsung’s Galaxy Note 10 includes some of the most unique colors of any smartphone on the market today, and now, it’s getting two new ones. Starting this week in the US, the Galaxy Note 10 will be available in Aura Red and Aura Pink.
Available in “limited quantities,” these new color variants are available for purchase now for some users. Samsung says that anyone who enrolled in early access for Samsung’s pre-Black Friday deals on Samsung.com will be able to purchase today.
For everyone else, the unlocked Note 10 in Aura Red and Aura Pink will be available starting at 12:01 a.m. ET on November 21. Both colors are vibrant and unique for the Note brand, but it’s a shame they’re not available for the Note 10+. If you’re interested in picking one up, Samsung’s website will be the only place to buy it.
These new colors also come alongside Samsung’s Black Friday deals. With an eligible trade-in, the Galaxy Note 10 is available from $309 and includes a free pair of Galaxy Buds headphones, too. Without a trade-in, the Galaxy Note 10 starts at $949.
The Galaxy Note10 Aura Red and Aura Pink Unlocked by Samsung devices are now available in limited quantities for consumers who enrolled in early access to our upcoming pre-Black Friday deals on Samsung.com. Should supplies be available, the devices and deals will then be available for anyone to purchase, starting at 12:01 a.m. ET tomorrow, Thursday, November 21.

Minutes
Overview of release goals (Anil)
Aim of this meeting is to clarify release goals for 1.0. We’re aiming for the OSCON 2013 talk in July, so release plan should have a stable output by June so that we can document and stabilise. Three concrete applications:
-
Need stub-domains for Xenstore and Xenconsoled. Device drivers (mainly netfront and blkfront) should compile on both Xen and Linux to let us swap between front-ends and back-ends as either stub-domain or dom0.
-
Self-hosting website and DNS server. Already working well now, but the TCP stack could use some attention, as well as an SSL prototype.
-
Proof of concept of distributed system (ideally can be demo’d for OSCON). Some strawman distributed system to start with; current thinking is something like OCamlot or Signpost. This would be a nice “Hello world!” demo as it requires actors, a persistent job queue. For example, i.e spawning new VMs in response to load, as evidenced by self-scaling web-server.
David Sheets (working on OCamlot), asks about the place for Mirage in OCamllot.
For example would it be the dispatcher running as a Mirage kernel on “the
cloud” and the workers would be running as ordinary VMs? This would demonstrate
that the distributed system actually works. Anil: can discuss the details of
this later (e.g what OS are the workers using), but that’s correct in
principle. We need to split the OS
module into a controller that is
responsible for resource provisioning, and the worker application itself.
Vincent is already working on this on the UNIX backend.
Libvirt and other cloud APIs (Dave)
Dave: Libvirt manages VMs on a physical host and is hypervisor-agnostic. OCaml bindings exist for this via Richard Jones at Red Hat, and Dave Scott has been fixing up the Xen bindings. We can’t use it to work with EC2 or proprietary clouds (have to use EC2 API directly there), but we could write something that sits between if really motivated. libvirt could work with KVM and other machines, which is a big plus when we have other hypervisor backends such as KVM.
Anil: Need to investigate mapping to cloud APIs; e.g Mirage app splits into the controller and the app that does worker as a separate VM (on Xen), or a separate process (on UNIX), or even uses capability APIs such as Capsicum on FreeBSD to separate the two.
No current fork API on Xen: that is, a VM cannot self-provision more resources, hence the need for this controller/worker split. This is a general issue on the cloud, and there are several ad-hoc PV interfaces (e.g. balloon driver). We need to think about how the OS library interface for Mirage will do in this space.
Decision: Initial cloud APIs to target are libvirt (will cover 90% of FOSS
users as it works with xm
) and EC2 (interesting demos and for self-hosting
website).
Dave: Need to make sure that libvirt works on Ubuntu and Debian.
Jon: asks whether configuration is still a compile-time thing. Can also do key exchange thing at compile time, which should be cool and avoids dynamic secret exchange. Anil: yes, and closely tied into Mirari (see next).
#### Mirari (Vincent)
Mirari splits workflow into config stage (mirari configure
) which installs
OPAM dependencies, the build phase which invokes obuild, and mirari run to
execute the result. The configure and build phases work fine, but we’re
missing mirari run
to interface with libvirt and EC2.
Need to think about the FRP model for configuring and keeping track of dependencies. It would make an awesome demo (and useful in general!) to reconfigure server variables and recompile/launch precisely what is needed. Question asked if anyone has used FRP for anything serious. Silence ensues. Followed by some sniggering. Followed by serious looks. Mort’s name is mentioned.
Prashanth: Does Mirari monitor VMs across multiple hosts? Anil: Eventually yes, but not in 1.0. It keeps track of local VMs for now on the same host and Mirari v2 will deal with tracking versions across hosts, or on EC2. Just libvirt for now will get us a long way in terms of usability.
Jon: we need to define some goal applications for Mirage 2.0 to make all these design decisions clearer. Anil agrees, and suggests:
-
Project Windsor, a dom0 free system that essentially turns xapi into a communicating set of unikernels.
-
For Mirage website, e.g automatically reconfiguring itself from individual to two VMs and a load balancer, and then more VMs and DNS balancing as load increases. This is the concept of self-scaling. How do we do this in the libraries? Anil would love to demo a self-scaling webserver at OSCON: Mort, Anil and Malte have played with this a couple of years ago, but its not practical at the VM level without fast boots (which we have now) and careful dependency tracking across resources and libraries. The latency and precision we can bring is an order of magnitude better than the current state-of-the-art, and (thanks to Dave’s work on xenopsd), we have the control stacks to glue them all together.
Jon: XenServer pool-level support for these makes sense since there is already a cluster-wide API to deal with moving across hosts. Anil: yes, but the XAPI distributed db is a potential significant slowdown.
Irminsule (Thomas)
We need a storage interface (persistence) and control interface in Mirage.
Branch-consistency is the lowest level we can work at without embedding
any policy in the database. Want to have a DB that grows immutably, and then we just have a
garbage collection problem to deal with (“just”).
Goal is to have a Mirage-friendly DB with 3 scenarios:
-
VM storage: expose an NFS library and eventually PV blkfront that can expose fake git directory to VM. Not stuck at the block-level but real filesystem-level packs.
-
Native Mirage filestore system. Needs to be lock-free as they have to run all over the public cloud. Irminsule designed for this. Could use Sqlite with data constraints but… no. Desire a more rigorous, low-level DB and build SQL on top as necessary.
-
For the RWO book, people making comments have lost stuff as Javascript API requires people to be online to report issues. We can compile Irminsule down into JS and then comments can be made locally and then sync/merged upstream.
Jon: asked if you need the whole blob/tree in your browser to do the stuff for RWO book? Anil/Thomas: you need the graph but not the whole thing as we’re not stuck to only needing the git protocol. The low-level protocol actually supports lazy graph traversal fine. Anil: we can also rebase the trunk using a sliding window scheme.
Jon: Targeting Xenstore may be worth considering as its a close fit to Irminsule. Thomas points out that very close mappings between existing transaction semantics and Xenstore (Thomas worked on both). Anil: we can also turn Xenstore into a cluster-wide persistent store like this, removing a lot of XAPI complexity.
Prashanth: what if I want something from the subdirectory rather than root? Thomas: Git doesn’t allow this but in his implementation its possible by delving at a lower level. Sheets: Git patches have been proposed but rejected that permit this in git for submodules.
Xenproject update (Amir)
Xen.org has become a Linux Foundation project (called Xen project) and there have been some high profile announcements so far which explicitly mention Mirage OS so we can expect more attention being paid to the work. There will also be blog posts and news about Mirage being put up on Xen Project’s site and openmirage.org.
Anil: we all need to be looking over the installation instructions and checking they work ok. They need refreshing and tweaking as even small missing steps cause confusion.
Any other business
Jon wanted get Mirage set up as a test VM for XAPI. It does a great job (starts and stops in no time), which is part of motivation to get start- suspend working properly. Anil: fuzz-testing in general is a good thing and we can use this in all the libraries. Balraj created a TCP loopback VM that uses two VIFs in single VM (see mirage-skeleton/tcp).
Plan for next week’s call: Discuss the mirari FRP integration in more detail. Invite Daniel Bunzli to advise.

The java::unlock command removes a lock placed on javaObj by the java::lock command. Multiple locks are allowed on javaObj. The java::unlock removes one lock each time it is called. If the internal rep of the Tcl variable referenced by javaObj is zero after the lock is removed, the Java object could be garbage collected. If javaObj does not have an existing lock, a Tcl error is generated.
If the java::unlock command is called with the string "all" as the argument, each object that had been locked with the java::lock command will be unlocked.

Schnorr Signatures are a form of Digital Signature Algorithms (DSA) that produces short signatures even when combining multiple
public keys (when using for multisig).
Currently there is a BIP that has no number assigned yet that introduces a specific signature scheme for Schnorr that produces
64-byte signatures over the elliptic curve
secp256k1.
This demo page shows how this BIP could look like when implemented in Bitcoin.

songs that really makes me want to
eat ice cream and cry is ‘Self-Control’.
It’s just so sad. And beautiful.
And catchy. And I think it’s the
central song of this album.
 And
“blonded” sounds awfully a lot like
“blinded”.

By default, pause on lost focus is enabled. If enabled, the application will stop updating when it loses focus or becomes inactive (e.g. alt-tab). For online or real-time applications, this might not be preferable, so this feature should be set to disabled. For other applications, it is best to keep it on so that CPU usage is not used when not necessary.

The following description has been tested on all the 3D Objects contained in Arch3D.BSA and appears to be sound. There are two records which have some problems (offsets 0x008B8D58 and 0x013274C6) and don't follow the known format of the other 10249 records. They have a large section of repeating bytes just after the 3D object header and their Data2 section is not the standard. These records could very well be corrupt or not used or of a special, undiscovered, format.
Each BSA record contains the information for one 3D object. Note that each record appears to be _similar_ to the .3D file format used in Battlespire. One difference is that here the .3D files are contained in one big file, while in Battlespire they are in individual files. Records range from 212 to 81394 bytes in size. The basic record layout is as follows:
3D Object Header (64 Bytes) Always the first 64 bytes in the record. See the header section below for detail format and information. Unknown Data Two files have strange sections of repeating bytes between the record header and point data. Usually, though, the point data follows starting at byte 64. Point Data Contains the point data as given by the number of points previously read. Each point is composed of 3 signed long integers, (X, Y, Z) for 12 bytes per point. Use the PointOffset variable in the header to get the start of the point data. PlaneData See the Plane Data Record section below. There is one record for each plane given by the PlaneCount variable. Use the PlaneOffset variable in the header to get the start of the plane data. Normal? Data Section Appears to have XYZ 12 bytes triplets again with the number of records equal to the number of planes. This appears to be the normals of the planes but not entire confirmed. The offset to this data is also in the header. Offset1 Data Section This section is usually all 0x00's, but the size indicates it should have a record size of 24 bytes with the number of records equal to the number of planes. The offset to the start of this data is also in the header. Offset2 Data Section The number of records in this section is given in the object header. The basic format of each record is as follows: [Bytes 0-15] long Numbers[4]; Looks like 3 or 4 coordinates. [Bytes 16-17] short NumSubRecords; Gives the number of 6 bytes sub-records which follow. [Bytes 18...] char SubRecords[6][] The variable number of sub record data. This data finishes off the object record data. The offset to the start of this data and the number of records the section contains is in the object header.Note that while most 3D objects have this format, some have the sections mixed up slightly (i.e., the data1 section comes before the points). One should use the offset information in the object header to determine where each section starts.
[Bytes 0-3] char Version[4] = "v2.7"; (or "v2.6" or "v2.5") Appears to be a version number or record identifier. Most of the records have v2.7, though 135 have v2.6 and 9 have v2.5. Note that the trailing NULL character is not included. It is currently unknown what differences the various version records have, although it appears to be minor. [Bytes 4-7] long PointCount; Gives the number of points contained in the 3D object. Each point consists of 3 long integers (X, Y, Z) for a total of 12 bytes per point. Point counts range from 3 to 1010. [Bytes 8-11] long PlaneCount; This gives the number of planes/faces in the 3D object. Plane counts range from 1 to 712. [Byte 12-15] long Unknown1; Has a wide range of values, generally non-zero. [Bytes 16-23] char NullValue1[8]; Always 0x00 bytes (confirmed). [Bytes 24-27] long Data1Offset; [Bytes 28-31] long Data2Offset; Appear to be offsets from the start of an object record Offset1 is always non-zero and Offset2 is zero only 3 times (confirmed). [Bytes 32-35] long NumData2Records; Usually non-zero and less than 0x0010 (maximum around 212). Appears to be the number of records pointed to by Offset2. [Bytes 36-37] short Unknown3; A wide range of repeating values. [Bytes 38-39] short Unknown4; Usually 0x0000 or less than 0x0010 (maximum of 0x0068). [Bytes 40-43] long NullValue3; [Bytes 44-47] long NullValue4; Always 0x00000000 (confirmed). [Bytes 48-51] long PointOffset; Almost always 0x00000040 but also takes on the values 0x00000000 (strange?) 0x00000178 0x00001510 0x000017F8 The offset from the start of the object record to the start of the point data. [Bytes 52-55] long NormalOffset; Offset from the record origin to the next byte after the end of the plane data. Always non-zero (confirmed). [Bytes 56-59] long Unknown6; Always 0x00000000 except for 19 records which it has a number of values from 0x000000F4 to 0x000001FC. Possibly offset? [Bytes 60-63] long PlaneOffset; Offset from start of object to the plane/face data.
[Byte 0] unsigned char PlanePointCount; (8 bits) The number of points which makes up the plane. This value ranges from 0x00 to 0x18 (24). [Byte 1] char Unknown1; (8 bits) Usually 0x00 for most plane records (about 2% are non-zero). Values range from 0x00 to 0xFF although most are repeating values in the 0x00 to 0x40 range. [Bytes 2-2.6] unsigned short SubImageIndex; (7 bits) The subimage index in the texture file (0 to 127). [Bytes 2.7-3.7] unsigned short TextureIndex; (9 bits) The texture file index (0 to 474). [Bytes 4-7] long Unknown4; Almost always 0x00000000, 0x00010000, 0x00010001, or 0x00010002 and rarely a wide range of other values. Probably two short values. [Bytes 8...] PlanePointSubRecords For each point in the PlanePointCount variable, there is 8 bytes of data. [Bytes 0-3] long PointOffset; v2.7:This gives the offset of the point used from the beginning of the point data. In other words, divide by 12 to get the point index. This is confirmed for all v2.7 objects except for one which is strange (offset 0x013274C6). v2.6:Appears to be the same as v2.7. v2.5:The point offset is a multiple of 4 and appears to be the offset to the actual XYZ coordinate of the point. To get the point index, divide by 4 (unconfirmed). [Bytes 4-5] short TextureU; [Bytes 6-7] short TextureV; Specifies the texture UV coordinates for the point. See Appendix E for a complete description of how Daggerfall handles UV texture coordinates.


Boris Johnson cornered by man talking about excessive dog poo
The prime minister has been stopped by a man complaining about a park ‘full of dog poo’.
He was in Manchester on the election campaign trail when he had the exchange yesterday, with a man very passionate about people registering their dogs.
  It’s terrible. Irresponsible owners.’
Looking somewhat uncomfortable, Mr Johnson said: ‘Oh, I see. I see what you mean.’
The man responded: ‘It is only a fiver. Register your dog. It would be a great thing.’
Mr Johnson replied: ‘It would be a bit of a cost for people.’
The man said: ‘They shouldn’t have a dog, should they, if they can’t afford a licence. A fiver, register it.’

Mr Johnson said he would ‘find out’ more about dog licensing.
Things then take another surprising turn as the man concludes by saying: ‘You have got our vote anyway, Mr Johnson. Let’s get Brexit done. Get ’em out!’
It wasn’t clear what exactly the man meant by ‘get ’em out’, but Mr Johnson responded saying: ‘We will do.’
A Tory spokesman told the Mirror he was agreeing to ‘get Brexit done’ rather than the second part of the statement.
The clip has been shared online, where one user on Twitter said: ‘Imagine having the opportunity for a 30 second talk with the Prime Minister and dog poo being the first thing that comes to mind.’
Another said: ‘Meanwhile cancer patients are dying, vulnerable people are being denied benefits and committing suicide. Not enough money for care for the elderly, but don’t worry, dog licences are being looked into.’

26 kids discharged from hospital after possible carbon monoxide poisoning in Quebec
Twenty-six elementary school children sent to hospital Friday after they were possibly exposed to carbon monoxide in a Gatineau school bus have been sent home with their parents, the regional health authority said.
The children had complained of head, chest and stomach aches following a school bus ride earlier in the day.
Marie-Eve Cloutier, head of medical care at the health authority, said the children were showing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, but doctors could not confirm exactly what had made the students feel ill.
She said 18 children were brought to the Gatineau hospital and eight were sent to the Hull hospital. “All of the children were evaluated and treated, many of them ate snacks, and by the early afternoon they were able to leave safely,” she said.
“It was a possible carbon monoxide poisoning, but we can’t confirm that for the moment,” Cloutier told reporters.
Maude Hebert with the Portages-de-l’Outaouais school board said the company that runs the bus service for the school had ruled out carbon monoxide as the cause.
She said in an interview the children reported an unusual smell from the bus when they arrived to school. Carbon monoxide is known to be odourless. Hebert said the company was investigating whether a problem with the exhaust gas cooler on the bus emitted the foul odour.

5.4 Influencing MySQL with Hints
Many relational database servers
implement some notion of hints—a simple syntax for providing
additional information to the underlying SQL engine and query
optimizer. Sometimes you may need to do this to work around a bug or
improve performance. Let's have a quick look at the
various hints that can influence MySQL's query
processing. As you saw with the query cache, hints in MySQL often
appear right after the SELECT keyword:
SELECT SQL_CACHE * FROM mytable ...
But as you'll see, that's not
always the case.
If you're worried about code portability because
your SQL may need to run on a database server other than MySQL, you
can often enclose hints within comments so that
they'll be ignored by other servers—or older
versions of MySQL itself:
SELECT /*! SQL_CACHE */ * FROM mytable ...
5.4.1 Join Order
MySQL normally doesn't
care about the order in which you list tables in your queries. It
examines the possibilities and decides which table to read first,
second, and so on. Once in a while, you might find that MySQL
isn't handling a multitable join very well. After
looking at the EXPLAIN output for the query, you
realize that it's accessing the tables in a less
than optimal order.
If you think you can do a better job of optimizing the join order
than MySQL has done, you can use the STRAIGHT_JOIN
hint in place of a comma or JOIN keyword in your
query:
SELECT * FROM table1 STRAIGHT_JOIN table2 WHERE ...
Doing so forces MySQL to join the tables in the order they appear in
your query, regardless of the order it would otherwise decide to use.
5.4.2 Index Usage
MySQL
provides several index-related hints to cover cases when
you'd like more control over the indexes it
considers.
To provide a list of indexes you'd like MySQL to
consider, ignoring all others, add USE INDEX after
the table name in the query:
SELECT * FROM mytable USE INDEX (mod_time, name) ...
If you simply want MySQL to ignore one or more indexes, use
IGNORE INDEX instead:
SELECT * FROM mytale IGNORE INDEX (priority) ...
To force MySQL to use a particular index, use FORCE
INDEX in the query:
SELECT * FROM mytable FORCE INDEX (mod_time) ...
In doing so, you're telling MySQL to ignore any
decisions it might otherwise have made about the best way to find the
data you've asked for. It will disobey that request
only if the index you specify can't possibly be used
to resolve the query.
5.4.3 Result Sizes
A
set of hints also exists to tell MySQL that you'd
like the resulting rows to be handled in a particular way. Like most
hints, you really shouldn't be using them unless you
know they help. Overusing them will likely cause performance problems
sooner or later.
When dealing with a large number of rows that may take a bit of time
for the client to consume, consider using
SQL_BUFFER_RESULT. Doing so tells MySQL to store the result
in a temporary table, thus freeing up any locks much sooner.
The
SQL_BIG_RESULT hint tells MySQL that there will be a
large number of rows coming back. When MySQL sees this hint, it can
make more aggressive decisions about using disk-based temporary
tables. It will also be less likely to build an index on the
temporary table for the purpose of sorting the results.
5.4.4 Query Cache
As
noted at the beginning of this chapter, the query cache stores the
results of frequently executed SELECT queries in
memory for fast retrieval. MySQL provides opt-in and opt-out hints
that can be used to control whether or not a query's
results are cached.
By using SQL_CACHE, you ask MySQL to cache the results of
this query. If the query_cache_type is set to 1,
this hint has no affect because all SELECT queries
are cached by default. If query_cache_type is set
to 2, however, the cache is enabled, but queries are cached only on
request. Using SQL_CACHE covers this case.
On the flip side, SQL_NO_CACHE asks MySQL not to
cache the results of a query. Because this is an opt-out request, it
works for query_cache_type 1 or 2.
