Accomplished college gymnast dies after training accident
by CHRIS EHRMANNHARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - An accomplished gymnast at Southern Connecticut State University has died following a serious spinal cord injury suffered in a training accident.
Melanie Coleman, 20, of Milford, Connecticut, was training Friday at New Era Gymnastics in Hamden when she was injured, said her mother, Susan Coleman.
She was taken to Yale-New Haven Hospital and died Sunday.
Coleman was a former All State gymnast at Jonathan Law High School in Milford and was captain of the school’s gymnastics team. She was named a Women’s Collegiate Gymnastics Association Scholastic All-American this year.
Her former club coach, Tom Alberti, said she attained a level 10, the highest level in the USA Junior Olympics Program.
She was a junior studying nursing, following in the footsteps of her two older sisters, her mother said.
“She’s from a very large, loving family; there’s seven of us, we were the Coleman seven,” Susan Coleman said. “We spent every day together for the past 20 years.”
She volunteered at the gym where her accident occurred.
Her coaches and professors described her as a special young woman who excelled in both the classroom and gym, college President Joe Berolino said in a written statement.
“Our deepest sympathies are extended to her family and friends on this tragic loss,” he said.
People the family has met by traveling to gymnastics events around the country are giving support that is “holding us up,” Coleman’s mother said.
She described her children, which also include two sons older than Melanie, as “inseparable.”
“We’re going to leave an empty space in our photos for her” from now on, Susan Coleman said.

Oracle Performance Tuning and Optimization

Chapter 30 Using Hints
The Oracle optimizer is very efficient and works quite well to produce the best execution plan for your SQL statements based on the information it has to work with. The optimizer does not, however, have the amount of information about your database and your data as you do. This is why Oracle allows you to use hints to tell the optimizer what kind of operations will be more efficient based on knowledge you have about your database and your data.
By using hints, you can tell the optimizer such things as these:
- The best optimization approach for a particular SQL statement
- The goal of the cost-based approach for an SQL statement
- The access path for a statement
- When table scans are more efficient than indexes
- The join order for a statement
- A join operation in a join statement
- The degree of parallelism in a parallel query statement
By using hints, you can use specific information that you know about your data and database to further enhance the performance on certain SQL statements. With hints, you can enhance specific operations that might otherwise be inefficient. Here are some examples of conditions in which hints may significantly improve performance:
- Indexed columns with a large number of duplicate values. Telling the optimizer to bypass the index when the value is one you know has a large number of duplicates is more efficient than letting the optimizer use the index.
- Table access that performs a large table scan. By specifying a larger number of parallel query servers, you can improve performance.
- Table access that performs a small table scan. If you know that the amount of data to be scanned is small, you may want to disable the parallel query option for this particular operation.
These are just a few of the exceptional conditions in which the default optimization may not be efficient. The information you know about your data and application can be used to make more efficient optimization choices.
This chapter looks at the different optimization hints available and when you can use them to improve the optimization of your SQL statements. The chapter first explains how hints are implemented within your SQL statements and then describes the hints themselves, categorized by function.
Implementing Hints
Hints are implemented by enclosing them within a comment to the SQL statement. An SQL statement can have only one comment containing hints; these hints can follow only the SELECT, UPDATE, or DELETE keyword. Each hint applies only to the statement block in which the hint appears.
Hint Syntax
If you have a compound query in which several SELECTs are combined with the UNION operator, each query must contain its own hint. The hint applied to one of the SELECT statements does not carry over to any other SELECT. Oracle comments can have two forms:
| /* comment */
| The /* indicates the beginning of the comment; the */ indicates the end of a comment. The comment can be multiple lines long.
|
| -- comment
| The comment consists of the remainder of the line following the -- characters.
|
Adding the + character following the beginning of the comment indicates to the parser that the following text is a hint to the optimizer so that it is parsed as such (refer to the example in the following section).
Hint Errors
If a hint is incorrectly specified, Oracle ignores it and does not return an error. The following conditions cause hints to be ignored:
- Comment does not follow a SELECT, UPDATE, or DELETE statement. If the comment containing the hint does not follow one of these statements, the hint is ignored.
- Syntax errors. A hint containing syntax errors is ignored. Other hints within the same comment are evaluated individually.
- Conflicting hints. Conflicting hints (for example, FULL and INDEX) are ignored, but other nonconflicting hints within the same comment are evaluated individually.
| Some Examples of Hints
Here is an example of how a hint in an SQL statement looks:
SELECT /*+ CHOOSE */ account_no, name, balance FROM bank_account WHERE
account_no = '12631';
This hint specifies that the optimizer should use the CHOOSE option, overriding any other optimization mode that might be set.
Here is another example of a hint (notice that the statement is the same; to use the -- form of the comment, the comment and hint must be at the end of the line):
SELECT --+ CHOOSE
account_no, name, balance
FROM
bank_account
WHERE
account_no = '12631';
The parser and optimizer consider both of these methods for indicating hints to be equivalent.
|
Using Multiple Hints
Except in the case of conflicting hints, it is possible to merge multiple hints together. In some cases, merging hints can be very useful and possibly essential.
In many parallel query hints, it is not uncommon for the FULL (full table scan) hint to be used in conjunction with the PARALLEL (parallel query) hint. By using these two hints together, you ensure that a full-table scan will be executed and that the parallel-table scan feature of the Parallel Query option will be used.
To use multiple hints together, simply add additional hints within the same comment, as in this example that combines the FULL and PARALLEL hints:
SELECT /* FULL( dogs ) PARALLEL ( dogs, 5 ) */
dogname, age, owner
FROM
dogs
WHERE
age < 5;
Hints
The following sections describe the hints available to the Oracle optimizer. The hints are grouped into several categories based on function.

Food & Recepies
Here you may find ramblings of all sorts on food and all things related.
Since everyone from New Orleans, deep down, wants to be a chef more than
anything else, I like to pretend that I know how to cook!
 The criteria is as follows: Recepies should be
easy, skill-wise, should require relatively few ingredients and should take
a reasonable amount of time to make. (The goal I am shooting for is something
you can make quickly enough after you get home that you won't be starving by
the time it's ready! I'm currently shooting at ~30 minutes or less.) Finally,
everything I have posted here I have made myself, preferable a few times so
I can be sure it's really worth doing. Awesome.
- Pepper Steak
(Unformatted XML) This is another tasty
one that could basically be described as "close to stir-fry." Maybe the
italian version of stir-fry? Anyway, this means that it's quick to fix,
has vegitables, uses inexpensive meat, and tastes best over rice. Plus it's
colorful, which is nice.
- Time: 25 minutes total
- Difficulty: Easy
- Lentil Soup
(Unformatted XML)
I make this all the live-long.
It's surprisingly easy to do and surprisingly filling. Plus if you or yours is
a vegitarian, you can just take out the sausage and it still works. You can
do it all in one pot.
- Time: 25-30 minutes total
- Difficulty: Easy
- Crawfish Etoufee
(Unformatted XML) Yes, I do realize
that this has a number of ingredients, whereas I usually try to keep the total
number of ingredients low. BUT, they are almost all simple ones. This is
crawfish etouffee (there should be a right-facing accent on the second 'e') an
excellent creole dish if made by the right person, but apparently not too hard
to make yourself. I haven't actually made this myself yet, but the plan is to
do so in the immediate future. But I have had this recipe; my mom made is for
us all the time. The hardest part, it seems like, is going to be finding the
crawfish tails. They usually sell them in frozen or refridgerated packages just
like you might buy shrimp or scallops or something. I have a good feeling that
Whole Foods might even have them...
- Time: 30 minutes total

Sub Shikangwa hands Starlets CECAFA crown
by Timothy OlobuluNAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 25 – Cool as ice, Gentrix Shikangwa stepped off the bench to net twice as Kenya’s Harambee Starlets clinched their maiden CECAFA Women’s Championship crown with a 2-0 victory over hosts Tanzania at the Chamazi Complex in Dar es Salaam on Monday evening.
Shikangwa who had scored eight goals in the tournament before the final came on for the injured Janet Bundi early in the second half and proved to be the super sub, breaking the deadlock off the penalty spot in the 70th minute.
The 17-year old sealed and delivered the CECAFA crown three minutes from time with a thunderbolt on her favorite left foot to take the title comfortably into Kenyan territory.
It was sweet revenge for Kenya who lost the 2016 final to the Tanzanians 1-0 in Jinja Uganda.
Shikangwa finished off as the tournament’s top scorer, having scored in every match to finish with 10 and play a crucial role in handing the Starlets their first ever regional crown.
She scored Kenya’s first and her ninth of the tournament in the 70th minute when she slotted home from the penalty spot after Donisia Minja’s handball in the box. Her second was off her trademark left foot as David Ouma’s side finally savored a trophy.
It was a great ending to the year for Starlets who went all the way to the top four in the qualifiers for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, narrowly bowing out to Zambia after a 3-2 aggregate loss.
The victory came just a day after the Starlets were nominated for the ‘Women’s team of the year’ category while head coach Ouma was shortlisted for the ‘Women’s coach of the year’ at next year’s CAF awards.
Stars have made more history by winning the tournament without conceding a single goal and scoring a whooping 24 goals.
Here are Starlets’ results at the tournament
Group Stage:
Ethiopia 0–2 Kenya; (Jentrix Shikangwa 79′(p), Cynthia Shilwatso 80′)
Kenya 12–0 Djibouti; (Vivian Nasaka 13′, Jentrix Shikangwa 14′ 15′(p) 61′ 86′(p), Mwanahalima Adam 35′ 87′ 90′, Janet Bundi 45’+1, Mercy Airo 54′(p) 56′ 65′(p)
Kenya 3–0 Uganda; (Mercy Airo 9′, Mwanahalima Adam 19′, Jentrix Shikangwa 90+2′)
Semi-finals:
Kenya 5–0 Burundi; (Dorcas Shikobe 14′, Jentrix Shikangwa 54′ 72′, Mwanahalima Adam 67′, Vivian Corazone 78′)
Final:
Kenya 2 – 0 Tanzania; (Gentrix Shikangwa 70’(p), 87’)

Upon opening this puzzle, we are presented with a table containing a number of phrases, placed seemingly at random. Some of the clues are bolded, and the dashes on the right match the number of bolded clues in each row.
A little research allows us to determine the truth value of each clue, or, in at least one case, resolve the clue to the word TRUE. Treating the truth values of the bolded clues as binary, we can read each row as a letter by indexing the resulting binary number into the alphabet.

BINAIRO is a type of logic puzzle using solely 0s and 1s. The rules can be found here. Using the truth values of the bolded clues as givens, we can treat the grid as an 8×8 Binairo puzzle. The puzzle has a unique solution, given below. Please see the appendix for a step-by-step solution to the puzzle.
| 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |

Using this information, we can deduce the answer to the puzzle as follows.
This gives us an answer of DUE[DFPT][NS], which must be DUETS, an appropriate answer to this puzzle of duality.
The initial BINAIRO puzzle looks like this after resolving the clues.
| 1 | 0 | ||||||
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | ||||

| 1 | |||||||
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | ||||
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |||
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | ||||
Applying the first two rules repeatedly allows us to reach the following state:
| 0 | 1 | 0 | |||||
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |

| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 |
At this point, we can fill in the bottom row. We note that if the bottom right corner were a 1, the rightmost column would have three 0s in a row, which is not allowed. Therefore, the bottom right corner is a 0.
Similarly, the last 0 in the bottom row must go in the third column. If it were in any other column, there would be three 1s in a row in the bottom row.
The grid now looks like this:
| 0 | 1 | 0 | |||||
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |

| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Now we look at duplicate columns. The fourth column is identical to the sixth column, except for its two blank cells. Therefore, we must fill the cells in the fourth column with the opposite values of those in the sixth column.
The same is true of the eighth and fifth columns. The grid now looks like this:
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | ||
| 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
| 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 |

| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Finally, we apply the first two rules a few more times to finish the puzzle.

Wapic Insurance posts 78 per cent profit - The Nation Newspaper
WAPIC Insurance Plc has, within the period ended September 30, 2019 grown profit to N2.45 billion, a 78 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth from the N1.38 billion recorded in the preceding period of last year, its Managing Director, Mrs. Yinka Adekoya, said.
In a statement, she said the result is from the Group’s Unaudited Financial Results for the period ended September 30, 2019.
She said the growth was driven by the company’s sustained leadership status in some major accounts, attainment of increased market shares and enhanced underwriting capabilities.
She disclosed that the firm recorded 26 per cent YoY increase in gross written premiums for the period.
According to her, the growth in premiums and decrease in net claims expense during the period under review had a positive impact on this position.
She said: “The cost optimisation measures put in place continued to pay off as operating expenses dropped by 8 per cent to N3.2 billion year on year, compared to the prior period’s position of N3.5 billion. There was a notable growth in profit before tax for the period at 129 per cent to close at N1.1 billion compared to the N475 million in the same period of 2018.
“Wapic Life Assurance wrote N2.1 billion in gross written premium within the nine months period, a 36 per cent YoY growth in premium performance compared to the 2018 position of N1.52 billion. Net claims expenses declined by 22 per cent to N778 million within the nine-month period compared to the corresponding year’s position of N995 million.


Designing APIs for Asynchrony
New 2014-06-30: You can contain Zalgo with the dezalgo module
Some people asked me to explain what I meant by “releasing Zalgo” in async APIs, so I thought I’d share the following guidelines.
Please follow all of these rules in your programs. If you deviate from them, you do so at the peril of your very sanity.
 It’s provably trivial to turn any callback-taking API into a promise-returning API or generator-yielding API or vice-versa.
 In JavaScript, we have first-class language support for passing functions around, so I tend to use callbacks, simply because it requires no extra “stuff”.
What’s important to me is that an API be useful, performant, and easy to reason about. When I’m writing JavaScript, I care a lot about how V8 is going to optimize it, and so try to choose patterns that it can optimize nicely. As of today, generators just aren’t first-class enough, and Promises require an extra abstraction. That may change someday, but these principles probably will not.
So, I’m going to say “callbacks” below, but you can mentally substitute whatever thing you like. The fundamental points are equally relevant if you’re using threads, or gotos, or any other abstraction or language for doing things asynchronously and controlling what the computer does next.
Note that all of this also applies if your asynchronous API “looks synchronous”. Even if you design a thing so that I do:
x = foo();
and it’s completely agnostic at authoring time whether foo()
spins
on CPU or yields while it awaits a network response, being able to
reason about the program means that I need to be able to know whether
other parts of the program will be running while I’m waiting for
foo()
to return a value to be put into x
.
So, even if the syntax is the same (which has its benefits as well as its drawbacks, of course), the semantics must be crisply defined.
Or else Zalgo is released.
Do Not Release Zalgo
Warning: Before proceeding any further, go read this excellent essay by Havoc.
If you haven’t read Havoc’s post on callbacks, then you will perhaps be tempted to make silly arguments that make no sense, and demand justification for things that have been established beyond any reasonable doubt long ago, or tell me that I’m overstating the issue.
Have you read Havoc’s post on callbacks? Yes? Ok.
 Go read it. If you still haven’t, I’ll sum up:
If you have an API which takes a callback,
and sometimes that callback is called immediately,
and other times that callback is called at some point in the future,
then you will render any code using this API impossible to reason about, and cause the release of Zalgo.
Needless to say, releasing Zalgo onto unsuspecting users is extremely inappropriate.
It’s not the case that function-taking APIs must always call the
function asynchronously. For example, Array.prototype.forEach
calls
the callback immediately, before returning. But then it never calls
it again.
Nor is it the case that function-taking APIs must always call the
function synchronously. For example, setTimeout
and friends call
the callback after the current run-to-completion. But they always
return before calling the callback.
In other words, to avoid the release of Zalgo, exactly one of the following must be true:
var after = false;
callbackTaker(function() {
assert(after === true);
});
after = true;
OR:
var after = false;
callbackTaker(function() {
assert(after === false);
});
after = true;
and in no case can you ever have a function where exactly one of these assertions is not guaranteed.
What about internal functions in my library that are not exposed?
Well, ok, but you’re releasing Zalgo in your internal library. I don’t recommend it. Zalgo usually finds a way to sneak His Dark͝ Tend̴r̡i҉ls out into the world.
What if I suspect that a function might try to release Zalgo?
This is a great question. For example, perhaps you let users supply your library with a callback-taking function, and you worry that they might be incompetent or careless, but want to ensure that your library does its best to keep The Da҉rk Pońy Lo͘r͠d HE ́C͡OM̴E̸S contained appropriately.
Assuming that your platform has an event loop or some other kind of abstraction that you can hang stuff on, you can do something like this:
function zalgoContainer(cbTaker, cb) {
var sync = true;
cbTaker(cbWrap);
sync = false;
function cbWrap(er, data) {
if (sync)
process.nextTick(function() {
cb(er, data);
});
else
cb(er, data);
}
}
This uses Node’s synthetic deferral function: process.nextTick
,
which runs the supplied callback at the end of the current
run-to-completion. You can also use setImmediate
, but that’s
slightly slower. (Yes, yes, it’s named badly; setImmediate
is
slightly less “immediate” and more “next” than nextTick
, but this
is an accident of history we cannot correct without a time machine.)
But isn’t it faster to just call the callback right away?
Moving on.
Avoid Synthetic Deferrals
I know what you’re thinking: “But you just told me to use
nextTick
!”
And yes, it’s true, you should use synthetic deferrals when the only alternative is releasing Zalgo. However, these synthetic deferrals should be treated as a code smell. They are a sign that your API might not be optimally designed.
Ideally, you should know whether something is going to be immediately available, or not. Realistically, you should be able to take a pretty decent guess about whether the result is going to be immediately available most of the time, or not, and then follow this handy guide:
If the result is usually available right now, and performance matters a lot:
- Check if the result is available.
- If it is, return it.
- If it is not, return an error code, set a flag, etc.
- Provide some Zalgo-safe mechanism for handling the error case and awaiting future availability.
Here’s an silly example to illustrate the pattern:
var isAvailable = true; var i = 0; function usuallyAvailable() { i++; if (i === 10) { i = 0; isAvailable = false; setTimeout(function() { isAvailable = true; if (waiting.length) { for (var cb = waiting.shift(); cb; cb = waiting.shift()) { cb(); } } }); } return isAvailable ? i : new Error('not available'); } function waitForAvailability(cb) { // Could also defer this and just call it, // but it is avoidable, which is the point. if (isAvailable) throw new Error("hey, dummy, check first!"); waiting.push(cb); }
In this case, when the user calls
usuallyAvailable()
they’ll get a number between 0 and 9, 90% of the time. It’s on the caller to check the return value, see if it means that they have to wait, etc.This makes the API a bit trickier to use, because the caller has to know to detect the error state. If it’s very rare, then there’s a chance that they might get surprised in production the first time it fails. This is a communication problem, like most API design concerns, but if performance is critical, it may be worth the hit to avoid artificial deferrals in the common cases.
Note that this is functionally equivalent to
O_NONBLOCK/EWOULDBLOCK/poll
pattern. You try to do a thing, and if it is not available right now, it raises an error, and you wait until it IS available, and then try again.If the result is usually available right now, but performance doesn’t matter all that much
For example, the function might only be called a few times at startup, etc.
In this case, just follow the “result is usually not available right now” approach.
Note that performance actually does matter much more often than you probably realize.
If the result is usually not available right now
- Take a callback.
- Artificially defer the callback if the data is available right now.
Here’s an example:
var cachedValue; function usuallyAsync(cb) { if (cachedValue !== undefined) process.nextTick(function() { cb(cachedValue); }); else doSomeSlowThing(function(result) { cb(cachedValue = result); }); }
The basic point here is that “async” is not some magic mustard you smear all over your API to make it fast. Asynchronous APIs do not go faster. They go slower. However, they prevent other parts of the program from having to wait for them, so overall program performance can be improved.
Note that this applies to not just callbacks, but also to Promises and any other control-flow abstractions.
So, don’t do that.
Pick a Pattern and Stick With It
This really cannot be overstated. Like the question of callbacks vs Promises vs whatever, the specific pattern that you choose doesn’t matter very much. What does matter very much is that you stick to that pattern with ruthless consistency. The pattern should cover how a user interacts with your API, and how errors are communicated.
In Node.js, the callback pattern is:
- Async functions take a single callback function as their final argument.
- That callback is called in the future with the first argument set
to an
Error
object in the case of failure, and any additional results as the subsequent arguments.
Why have the callback as the last argument? Why make Error the first arg? It doesn’t really matter very much. Ostensibly, making the callback the last arg is because
doSomething(a, b, c, d, function(er) {
...
})
scans a bit better than:
doSomething(function(er) {
...
}, a, b, c)
and putting the error first is so that it’s always in the same place.
There were other choices that could have been made. But the important thing was just to pick one, and move forward with it. This consistency makes it much less difficult to convert Node APIs into other sorts of aync patterns, and greatly reduces the communication required to tell a user how to use a Node.js callback-taking API.

Watch John Oliver explain how a coal industry giant failed to sue him in to silence
by Mark FrauenfelderThe most recent episode of Last Week Tonight is John Oliver's celebratory victory lap over the end of coal giant Bob Murray's lawsuit against the show. Murray was suing for a 2017 episode calling Murray a "geriatric Dr. Evil" and for running a scene of a man in a squirrel costume holding a large bank check that said "Eat Shit Bob."
Oliver said the lawsuit was a "bullshit effort to silence us" -- in other words, a SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation), which is a way for rich creeps to abuse the legal system to silence anyone who says anything negative about them. (In 2010 Boing Boing was hit with a SLAPP and the plaintiff ended up having to pay us more than $50,000 in legal costs.)

Decided on a bike ride in the Peak District for Saturday. A quick scan through my White Peaks book led to a planned Cromford Circuit ride - about 21k. As I was on my own for the day, and in such a beautiful place, I decidied to get up their early and have a play with the camera over at Black Rocks which was good.I finished with the camera about 9 so changed, padded up and started riding about 9:30. This is where my first navigational blunder occurred. I cycled about 2 miles the wrong way down the High Peak Trail. Doh! Having realised my mistake, I climbed onto the A6 and backtracked to Cromford to start the second loop of the figure of eight route. This was fairly uneventful, lots of climbing and descending easy, but pretty trails and a few cow pat scattered fields.
On completing this loop, I continues to start again, from Black Rocks. Having joined up on the High Peak Trail again, things got a little tougher. My first climb that I couldn’t complete on the singlespeed was embarrasing - especially when some older people overtooks me as I pushed - they did have gears though!!
Then, just having overtaken some walkers, I realised that I had overshot the bridleway exit from this trail. So, I had to backtrack again, past the walkers. Doh again! By this time, with my errors, time was getting on, so I needed to pick up the pace. It’s a vicious circle however, the less I look at the route guide / map, the more I missed turns etc. I was reminded of a couple of the negatives to natural trail riding - navigation and farm gates spoil ‘the flow’ of the ride no end - especially during fast descents.
There was one more lesson to learn however - keep your mouth closed when descending fast tarmac after riding through cow pats. I forgot at one point, and was reminded when a sugar cube piece of turd flew off my front tyre straight into my gob. I was travelling too fast and concentrating too hard to spit. Mind, I did need the calories. To add injury to insult, the final descent into Matlock included a ‘cheeky trail’ comprising of singletrack through a nettle field. My ankles are still itchy now…
All in all, it was a good day. My legs and arms ache, still not fit enough for singlespeeding in the Peaks really. And the photography was more successful than the navigation. But I did have some big (yes, the open mouth again) grins on the descents! I wonder what next weekend will deliver.

The land north of Gangadwar is known to the wise as Paradise Ground. Apart from this land, the rest is called Earth elsewhere
Kedarkhand Skanda Purana
The Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) is the section of the Himalayas within India, spanning the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, as well as the hill regions of two states - Assam and West Bengal. The region is responsible for providing water to a large part of the Indian subcontinent and contains varied flora and fauna.
The IHR physiographically, starting from the foothills of south (Siwaliks), this mountain range extends up to Tibetan plateau on the north (Trans-Himalaya). Three major geographical entities, the Himadri (greater Himalaya), Himanchal (lesser Himalaya) and the Siwaliks (outer Himalaya) extending almost uninterrupted throughout its length, are separated by major geological fault lines. Mighty but older streams like the Indus, Sutlej, Kali, Kosi and Brahmaputra have cut through steep gorges to escape into the Great Plains and have established their antecedence.
The northernmost range of mountains are the Karakoram Mountains that continue into Pakistan and China. To the south of the Karakoram Range lies the Zaskar Ranges. Parallel to the Zaskar Ranges lie the Pir Panjal Ranges. These three mountain ranges lie parallel to each other in the north-western part of India, most of its area lying in the state of Jammu and Kashmir as its capital Srinagar, too.
Some of the highest mountains on earth are found in the region. Many rivers considered holy like the Ganga and Yamuna flow from the Himalayas.
The Himalayas are spread across five countries: India, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Pakistan, with the first three countries having sovereignty over most of the range.Some of the world's major rivers, the Indus, the Ganges, and the Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, rise in the Himalayas, and their.....


Week 8: Recursion
December 13, 2015
This post will discuss recursion, something we have not covered directly in phase 0 but that will be important on campus at DBC.
Recursion is a method of problem solving where a solution is defined for a subset of cases and then that is used to generalize for the rest of the cases. For example, earlier in phase 0 we wrote a function in Ruby to find the factorial of a number. A factorial can be written as n*(n-1)*(n-2)... all the way down to 1, which is another way of saying that n! = n*(n-1)! Therefore we can use recursion to define the factorial of 0 and then work up from there:
def factorial(n) n == 0 ? 1 : n*factorial(n-1) end
In this case, we are able to call a function within its definition, which is useful. In the above example, we only reference the function once within itself, so that is known as single recursion. Multiple recursion is also possible, and can be used to compute a Fibonacci sequence as an example.

Ember.Test Class
This is a container for an assortment of testing related functionality:
- Choose your default test adapter (for your framework of choice).
- Register/Unregister additional test helpers.
- Setup callbacks to be fired when the test helpers are injected into your application.
Item Index
Methods
Properties
Methods
injectTestHelpers
()
This injects the test helpers into the helperContainer
object. If an object is provided
it will be used as the helperContainer. If helperContainer
is not set it will default
to window
. If a function of the same name has already been defined it will be cached
(so that it can be reset if the helper is removed with unregisterHelper
or
removeTestHelpers
).
Any callbacks registered with onInjectHelpers
will be called once the
helpers have been injected.
Example:
`
App.injectTestHelpers();
`
onInjectHelpers
-
callback
Used to register callbacks to be fired whenever App.injectTestHelpers
is called.
The callback will receive the current application as an argument.
Example:
Ember.Test.onInjectHelpers(function() {
Ember.$(document).ajaxSend(function() {
Test.pendingAjaxRequests++;
});
Ember.$(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
Test.pendingAjaxRequests--;
});
});
Parameters:
-
callback
FunctionThe function to be called.
promise
-
resolver
This returns a thenable tailored for testing. It catches failed
onSuccess
callbacks and invokes the Ember.Test.adapter.exception
callback in the last chained then.
This method should be returned by async helpers such as wait
.
Parameters:
-
resolver
FunctionThe function used to resolve the promise.
registerAsyncHelper
-
name
-
helperMethod
registerAsyncHelper
is used to register an async test helper that will be injected
when App.injectTestHelpers
is called.
The helper method will always be called with the current Application as the first parameter.
For example:
Ember.Test.registerAsyncHelper('boot', function(app) {
Ember.run(app, app.advanceReadiness);
});
The advantage of an async helper is that it will not run until the last async helper has completed. All async helpers after it will wait for it complete before running.
For example:
Ember.Test.registerAsyncHelper('deletePost', function(app, postId) {
click('.delete-' + postId);
});
// ... in your test
visit('/post/2');
deletePost(2);
visit('/post/3');
deletePost(3);
registerHelper
-
name
-
helperMethod
-
options
registerHelper
is used to register a test helper that will be injected
when App.injectTestHelpers
is called.
The helper method will always be called with the current Application as the first parameter.
For example:
Ember.Test.registerHelper('boot', function(app) {
Ember.run(app, app.advanceReadiness);
});
This helper can later be called without arguments because it will be
called with app
as the first parameter.
App = Ember.Application.create();
App.injectTestHelpers();
boot();
registerWaiter
-
context
-
callback
This allows ember-testing to play nicely with other asynchronous events, such as an application that is waiting for a CSS3 transition or an IndexDB transaction.
For example:
Ember.Test.registerWaiter(function() {
return myPendingTransactions() == 0;
});
The context
argument allows you to optionally specify the this
with which your callback will be invoked.
For example:
Ember.Test.registerWaiter(MyDB, MyDB.hasPendingTransactions);
removeTestHelpers
()
public
This removes all helpers that have been registered, and resets and functions that were overridden by the helpers.
Example:
App.removeTestHelpers();
resolve
-
The
Replacement for Ember.RSVP.resolve
The only difference is this uses
an instance of Ember.Test.Promise
Parameters:
-
The
Mixedvalue to resolve
setupForTesting
()
This hook defers the readiness of the application, so that you can start the app when your tests are ready to run. It also sets the router's location to 'none', so that the window's location will not be modified (preventing both accidental leaking of state between tests and interference with your testing framework).
Example:
`
App.setupForTesting();
`
unregisterHelper
-
name
Remove a previously added helper method.
Example:
Ember.Test.unregisterHelper('wait');
Parameters:
-
name
StringThe helper to remove.
Properties
_helpers
Unknown
private
Hash containing all known test helpers.
adapter
Class The adapter to be used.
public
Used to allow ember-testing to communicate with a specific testing framework.
You can manually set it before calling App.setupForTesting()
.
Example:
Ember.Test.adapter = MyCustomAdapter.create()
If you do not set it, ember-testing will default to Ember.Test.QUnitAdapter
.
Default: Ember.Test.QUnitAdapter
helperContainer
Object The object to be used for test helpers.
This will be used as the container to inject the test helpers into. By
default the helpers are injected into window
.
Default: window
originalMethods
Object
private
This property will contain the original methods that were registered
on the helperContainer
before injectTestHelpers
is called.
When removeTestHelpers
is called, these methods are restored to the
helperContainer
.
Default: {}
testHelpers
Object
This property contains the testing helpers for the current application. These
are created once you call injectTestHelpers
on your Ember.Application
instance. The included helpers are also available on the window
object by
default, but can be used from this object on the individual application also.
Default: {}
testing
Boolean
This property indicates whether or not this application is currently in
testing mode. This is set when setupForTesting
is called on the current
application.
Default: false


- Description
- This service provides a widening converter converting from one type to another,
if possible.
What is possible?
- byte: byte, (short *1), (long *1), (hyper *1), (float *1), (double *1), (enum *2), (any *3), boolean, (char *4), (string *5)
- short: byte, short, (long *1), (hyper *1), (float *7), (double *7), (enum *2), (any *3), boolean, char, (string *5)
- long: byte, short, long, (hyper *1), (float *7), (double *7), enum, (any *3), boolean, char, (string *5)
- hyper: byte, short, long, hyper, (float *7), (double *7), enum, (any *3), boolean, char, (string *5)
- float: byte, short, long, hyper, float, (double *7), (enum *8), (any *3), boolean, char, (string *5)
- double: byte, short, long, hyper, float, double, enum, (any *3), boolean, char, (string *5)
- enum: (byte *9), (short *9), (long *9), (hyper *9), (float *9), (double *9), (enum *10), (any *3), (string *11)
- void: ok for all types
- any: ok for all types
- boolean: byte, short, long, hyper, float, double, (any *3), boolean, char, (string *12). 0 => false, != 0 => true
- char: byte, short, (long *1), (hyper *1), (float *7), (double *7), enum, (any *3), boolean, char, (string *13)
- string: byte, short, long, hyper, float, double, enum, (any *3), boolean, char, string
- struct: (any *3), (struct *14)
- interface: (any *3), (struct *14)
- exception: (any *3), (exception *14)
- union: (any *3), (union *14)
- sequence: (any *3), (sequence *15)
rules:
- 1: only converts if the value is in the range of the target type.
- 2: only converts if the value, not the position, of the enum is in the range of the target type.
- 3: get value until it is not an any. Then convert it with the other rules.
- 4: only converts if the value of the character is between 0 - 255.
- 5: only converts if the value represents a decimal, hexadecimal (0x...) or a floating point number.
Examples: 10, 0x10, 10.045, 10,555, +10, +10.6e10, -10.6e-10, .16.
- 7: only converts if the value is in the range of the target type.
The value is rounded to an integer.
- 8: only converts if the float can be converted back to the same enum value.
- 9: only converts if the number is one of the enumeration type values. Normally you need
reflection information of the enum type.
- 10: only converts if it is the same enumeration type.

The Kwerks enlist White Rock talent for new video
Jason Goode co-directs B.C. band’s latest effort
by Nick GreenizanVancouver-based band The Kwerks has looked to the Semiahmoo Peninsula for help with the music video for its newest single.
For the video for their new song, Find Your Loud, The Kwerks – helmed by songwriter Laura Koch and her husband, Ryan – enlisted White Rock director Jason Goode to serve as co-director, alongside Shauna Johannesen.
As well, many of the children in the video are from the South Surrey/White Rock area, with many attending White Rock Elementary.
According to a news release, the Find Your Loud video “weaves three story lines together in a narrative of connection lost and connection found.”
“It’s about human connection when you boil it down,” said Laura Koch, who wrote the song a year ago, heading into the holidays.
“I was trying to get in the jingle-bells mood and I just looked around and felt so beat down by the pain and hate and anger in the world; the way that humanity seemed to be suffering at the hands of each other, and so the plan changed.
“I’m passionate about this idea of human connection, of healing the pain between individuals, of moving from isolation to connection and love. The song is an anthem to start beating your drum, a metaphor for a heartbeat, for other people to reach out and connect and heal all the pain we are feeling so universally right now.”
Viewers can expect to have their heart-strings pulled, Koch added.
The Kwerks will be familiar to Surrey and White Rock music lovers – the band has previously a number of local events through the years, including the Party for the Planet and the Sounds of Summer concert series.


Hollywood executive wanted Julia Roberts to play Harriet Tubman, report says
(CNN/Gray News) - In an interview, screenwriter Gregory Allen Howard said a Hollywood executive suggested Julia Roberts play Harriet Tubman in a biopic.
Howard shared the story in an interview with Focus Features, describing the 26-year journey it took to get Tubman’s story told on the big screen.
Howard said the incident happened in the 1990s after he had moved to Los Angeles. After the executive suggested Roberts to play the lead part, another person said she couldn’t play Tubman. According to Howard, the executive said that Tubman’s story happened “so long ago. No one is going to know the difference.”
Howard did not name the executive in the interview, and it’s not clear if anyone actually approached Roberts about the role.
Tubman is an iconic African-American activist who escaped slavery and then helped hundreds of others find freedom during the U.S. Civil War-era through the Underground Railroad.
“Harriet” portrays Tubman’s life from about 1849 to the Civil War. Actress Cynthia Eriva, who plays Tubman, spoke to CNN about the importance of the role, saying, “I think in particularly women of color need someone to see and know that has gone before them and has done really great work, has changed the world, so we know we can do the same, so that we’re encouraged to continue doing the work that we do and continue to change the world the way we want it to be changed.”
The casting of Eriva, a British actress, also was criticized.

I can't help but wonder if THE SAINT was given the final go-ahead following the success of 1995's James Bond redux, GOLDENEYE. This film, which plays very much like a low-key 007 yarn, began production in March 1996, shortly after the Bond movie's domestic gross topped $100 million. Nevertheless, despite a few taut action sequences, some effective chemistry between the male and female leads, and a globetrotting storyline (the Far East to England to Russia), THE SAINT can't quite measure up to Pierce Brosnan's superspy debut. The problem, however, is more one of history and mystique than plotting and acting.
That's not to say that THE SAINT doesn't have a history of its own -- just that this movie doesn't have GOLDENEYE's cinematic pedigree. In fact, the character of The Saint predates Bond by more than twenty-five years (in both written and film incarnations). Author Leslie Charteris first introduced the world to his suave adventurer in 1926, and continued writing Saint stories until his death in 1993, compiling a list of more than 50 full-length titles and numerous shorter tales. During the late 1930s, RKO produced a series of Saint movies (several of which featured George Sanders in the lead). Then, during the 1960s, THE SAINT came to television, with future James Bond Roger Moore in the title role.
Now, some thirty years later, Val Kilmer has stepped into the shoes once occupied by Moore. This '90s version of THE SAINT takes its inspiration in part from Charteris' books and in part from the TV series (including a few notes from Edwin Astley's theme song), but incorporates all the latest in technology. While Kilmer's Simon Templar is a master of disguises, he's also armed with an impressive array of miniature computers and other assorted gadgets. He logs onto the Internet at will, reads video e-mail, and remotely monitors his swelling Swiss bank account.
THE SAINT purports to tell the origins of the title character, something that Charteris never wrote about. Following a brief prologue in a Far East orphanage, where a young Templar's path in life is set, the scene shifts to Moscow in the near future. A former communist leader-turned-billionaire capitalist, Ivan Tretiak (Rade Serbedzija), is about to make a power play for Russia's leadership. In order to do so, he hires master thief Templar to steal the secret of cold fusion from Emma Russell (Elisabeth Shue), the Oxford scientist who developed the formula. With a $3 million paycheck awaiting him, Templar makes contact with Emma, but, much to his chagrin, he becomes entranced by her combination of beauty and innocence, and discovers that stealing her notes and breaking her heart is more difficult than he had anticipated.
THE SAINT is more of a character-based thriller than a strict stunts-and-explosions film, which is a good thing because the action sequences are mostly flat and obligatory. Even when he generates a degree of tension, director Phillip Noyce (PATRIOT GAMES, CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER) is unable to sustain it, and the disappointing ending is not only long and drawn out, but lacks a sense of closure. It's nice to set up a movie for a sequel, but THE SAINT concludes in such a way that the story seems somehow incomplete.
Acting and character development lie at THE SAINT's core. While Val Kilmer's taciturn Templar may remind viewers of his interpretation of Bruce Wayne, the actor is at his best when donning one of about a dozen disguises. Elisabeth Shue's Emma, on the other hand, only has one personality, and it's a wonderfully-realized one. She's a dreamer and a romantic who has little experience with men or real life. She's smart, energetic, and extremely vulnerable, and the film's strongest dynamic results from what happens when Templar attempts to tap into her weaknesses and, in the process, finds his own exposed.
Other than Kilmer and Shue, the only actors with much screen time are Valery Nikolaev and veteran Rade Serbedzija. Serbedzija, who is known internationally following his appearances in films such as BEFORE THE RAIN and BROKEN ENGLISH, plays a fairly standard megalomaniac here. He gets to shout lines like "I want to see Russia not cut off at the knees, but armed to the teeth!" As Tretiak's son, Nikolaev, a relatively new face in the West, has the rather thankless role of the bloodthirsty, revenge-driven sidekick. Henry Goodman is a physicist trying to make sense out of cold fusion and Irina Apeximova is a black market operator who sells secrets to Templar.
The location work is noteworthy. The scenes filmed outside of the Kremlin have an eerie sense of verisimilitude (Russian director Nikita Mikhalkov, whose BURNT BY THE SUN won an Oscar in 1995, helped make the arrangements that allowed Noyce to film in Red Square). And, while THE SAINT stops short of being a travelogue of Moscow, it does offer a number of fascinating glimpses into one of Russia's most historic cities.
Anyone expecting anything remarkable or new about THE SAINT will be disappointed. Simon Templar's latest adventure is fairly standard material, although it is brought to the screen with a certain degree of style. Paramount has wisely decided to release the film before the summer blockbuster season. In April, THE SAINT will have more of a chance to find an audience than it would ever have during warmer months. Big box office returns would still surprise me, however. THE SAINT is lightly entertaining, but there's very little here worth getting excited about.

"No Reflections" is a creative advertising campaign consisting of a series of prints published in June 2020 by Leo Burnett for Samsung to promote their OLED TVs with Ultra Black Elite Technology.
Description
The advertisement is set in a horror scene being displayed on a screen, with a masked serial killer in the foreground. However, the killer's lower half is amusingly covered by a reflection of a lamp, making it look as if he is wearing a bright yellow skirt. On the top left there is a SAMSUNG logo, and on the bottom right the caption "Don't let reflections ruin your movie" is accompanied by an image of a clear television screen without reflections - supposedly Samsung's OLED TV with Ultra Black Elite technology.
Analysis
The horror scene is created using muted, dark colours (or a lack thereof), alongside stereotypes of horror B-movies such as the serial killer wearing a mask, having a bladed weapon, tattered clothing; and the backdrop being an eerie forest with an abandoned shed in the background. However, this horrific portrayal and immersion is humorously ruined by the reflection of the lamp in bright warm colours, not only in stark contrast to the horror colour scheme but also causing the serial killer to seem less menacing by having the lamp reflection positioned to make it seem as if he is wearing a skirt.
Interpretation
The print clearly seeks to promote Samsung's line of OLED TVs with their new Ultra Black Elite technology that they claim is able to eliminate reflections of brightly lit objects on their television screens (especially for dark movies), allowing viewers to immerse themselves into movies as fully as possible without unwanted distractions caused by reflections that can adversely affect their experience.
Judgement
The message is clear, simple, and concise - with very few words needed to give viewers a reason to purchase Samsung's special OLED TVs. Furthermore, the comedic imagery used will very likely make the advertisement more memorable and prominent - because, a serial killer in a skirt is simply ridiculous! At this point I'm really fishing for downsides, but a limitation of the campaign would be that viewers may critique the ad's relevance and the necessity of such a TV - since no one in their right mind would place a lamp right in front of a television screen. However, I find this to be a very minor negative effect in contrast to the potential impact of the humorous depiction of the lamp skirt. Overall, this is a well-designed print campaign which is clearly and creatively communicated in a memorable way.
