January 25 The Conversion of Saint
Paul, Apostle
FIRST READING Acts
22:3-16
(Alternative reading)
In those days: Paul said to the people [in Jerusalem], "I am a Jew,
born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel,
educated according to the strict manner of the law of our fathers, being
zealous for God as you all are this day. I persecuted this Way to the death,
binding and delivering to prison both men and women, as the high priest and the
whole council of elders bear me witness. From them I received letters to the
brethren, and I journeyed to Damascus to take
those also who were there and bring them in bonds to Jerusalem to be punished. "As
I made my journey and drew near to Damascus,
about noon a great light from heaven suddenly shone about me. And I fell
to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why do you persecute
me?' And I answered, 'Who are you, Lord?' And he said to me, 'I am Jesus of
Nazareth whom you are persecuting.' Now those who were with me saw the light
but did not hear the voice of the one who was speaking to me. And I said, 'What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, 'Rise, and
go into Damascus,
and there you will be told all that is appointed for you to do.' And when I
could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by
those who were with me, and came into Damascus.
"And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well spoken of by all
the Jews who lived there, came to me, and standing by me said to me, 'Brother
Saul, receive your sight.' And in that very hour I received my sight and saw
him. And he said, 'The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will, to
see the Just One and to hear a voice from his mouth; for you will be a witness
for him to all men of what you have seen and heard. And now why do you wait?
Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name.'

First Reading
Acts 9:1-22
In those days: Saul, still breathing threats and murder against
the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to
the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men
or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he journeyed he
approached Damascus,
and suddenly a light from heaven flashed about him. And he fell to the ground
and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute
me?" And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am
Jesus, whom you are persecuting; but rise and enter the city, and you will be
told what you are to do." The men who were travelling with him stood
speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one. Saul arose from the ground;
and when his eyes were opened, he could see nothing; so they led him by the
hand and brought him into Damascus.
And for three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank. Now there
was a disciple at Damascus
named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he
said, "Here I am, Lord." And the Lord said to him, "Rise and go
to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of
Tarsus named Saul; for behold, he is praying, and he has seen a man named
Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his
sight." But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about
this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem; and here he has authority from the
chief priests to bind all who call upon your name." But the Lord said to
him, "Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before
the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; for I will show him how
much he must suffer for the sake of my name." So Ananias departed and
entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the
Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that
you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." And immediately
something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight. Then he
rose and was baptized, and took food and was strengthened. For several days he
was with the disciples at Damascus.
And in the synagogues immediately he proclaimed Jesus, saying, "He is the
Son of God." And all who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not
this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem
of those who called on this name? And he has come here for this purpose, to
bring them bound before the chief priests." But Saul increased all the
more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the
Christ.

Following a plenary session of the Hooting Yard Editorial Committee, chaired by Mrs Gubbins, who also supplied platefuls of contaminated pastry-based confections, it has been decided to rename the Hooting Yard website for an experimental period. Until further notice, this collection of prose and pictures will be known as:
and the new logo will be, not as you might think Audubon's depiction of the foolish guillemot--murre, but his equally splendid common gallinule:
This bird has the pensive, concentrated look that we hope to elicit from all our readers. Do try to remember the new name of the site, and next time you are at an ambassadorial cocktail party, works outing, or indeed just babbling loudly into your mobile phone like a nincompoop, do not say “Gosh, yes, Hooting Yard certainly makes me chuckle!” but instead “Well, heavens to Betsy, have you seen the latest in The Foolish Guillemot--Murre?” Many thanks in advance for your cooperation with this important new initiative.

Test, test... is this thing on?
www.northcrownhill.com is live, and thanks for answering your door this weekend! I knocked on about 60 doors and found 25 of you so far. This is my first email update - you'll notice it's from Mailchimp, so it's easy to unsubscribe if you get tired of hearing from me. As for what's next:
Your information is safe
I want you to know that I will not be sharing your email address, or any other contact info, with anyone without affirmative consent. You will control what information you share, and to whom. (I think "organizers", "block", and "neighborhood" will be the levels.) Thanks for trusting me so far, and you can find a bit more on my background here.
Slack chat invites
Look for an email (hopefully a couple minutes after this one) titled "James has invited you to join a Slack workspace". Slack is a desktop-and-mobile chat application, and our "workspace" is private to just the people with invitations to make accounts. There are two reasons you might want to join me there:
- You want to get involved in helping others
- You could use some social solidarity!
I hope to see you there - I definitely can't do much alone.
Notes: Slack has a pretty good onboarding flow, but if you need any tech support, just ask! When you get in, for your profile, feel free to just use your first name - I can't think of anything that we need to do that benefits from adding all of our last names. Please DO consider adding your house number and street in the "What I do" field - if you feel comfortable doing so, this can help folks know who's near them!
Survey soon
I'm designing a survey to ask you:
- What contact info you'd like to share, with whom
- How Covid-19 is impacting your household
I'll try to keep it short. If you have ideas on what would be useful... find me in Slack chat! Look for that in my next newsletter, probably in 3-4 days.
That's all for now, folks. Don't be a stranger: I think you can just hit "reply" to this email, or email me directly at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with any questions.
Thanks!

The Qt Help Framework
Overview
The Qt help system includes tools for generating and viewing Qt help files. In addition, it provides classes for accessing help contents programmatically to be able to integrate online help into Qt applications.
The actual help data, meaning the table of contents, index keywords, or HTML documents, is contained in Qt compressed help files. So, one such a help file represents usually one manual or documentation set. Since most products are more comprehensive and consist of a number of tools, one manual is rarely enough. Instead, more manuals, which should be accessible at the same time, exist. Ideally, it should also be possible to reference certain points of interest of one manual to another. Therefore, the Qt help system operates on help collection files, which include any number of compressed help files.
However, having collection files to merge many documentation sets may lead to some problems. For example, one index keyword may be defined in different documentation sets. So, when only seeing a keyword in the index and activating it, you cannot be sure that the expected documentation will be shown. Therefore, the Qt help system offers the possibility to filter the help contents after certain attributes. This requires, however, that the attributes have been assigned to the help contents before the generation of the compressed help file.
As already mentioned, the Qt compressed help file contains all data, so there is no need any longer to ship all the single HTML files. Instead, only the compressed help file and, optionally, the collection file have to be distributed. The collection file is optional since any existing collection file, for example from an older release, could be used.
So, in general, there are four files interacting with the help system, two used for generating Qt help and two meant for distribution:
| Name | Extension | Brief Description |
|---|---|---|
| Qt Help Project | .qhp | The input file for the help generator consisting of the table of contents, indices, and references to the actual documentation files (*.html). It also defines a unique namespace for the documentation. |
| Qt Compressed Help | .qch | The output file of the help generator. This binary file contains all the information specified in the help project file along with all the compressed documentation files. |
| Qt Help Collection Project | .qhcp | The input file for the help collection generator. It contains references to the compressed help files that should be included in the collection; it also may contain other information for customizing Qt Assistant. |
| Qt Help Collection | .qhc | The output of the help collection generator. This is the file QHelpEngine operates on. It contains references to any number of compressed help files as well as additional information, such as custom filters. |
Generating Qt Help
Building help files for the Qt help system assumes that the HTML documentation files already exist.
Once the HTML documents are in place, a Qt Help Project file, with an extension of .qhp
, has to be created. After specifying all the relevant information in this file, it needs to be compiled by calling:
qhelpgenerator doc.qhp -o doc.qch
The file doc.qch contains all the HTML files in compressed form along with the table of contents and index keywords. To test if the generated file is correct, open Qt Assistant and install the file in Settings > Documentation.
For the standard Qt source build, the .qhp file is generated and placed in the same directory as the HTML pages.
Creating a Qt Help Collection
The first step is to create a Qt Help Collection Project file. Since a Qt help collection stores primarily references to compressed help files, the project mycollection.qhcp file looks unsurprisingly simple:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <QHelpCollectionProject version="1.0"> <docFiles> <register> <file>doc.qch</file> </register> </docFiles> </QHelpCollectionProject>
For actually creating the collection file call:
qcollectiongenerator mycollection.qhcp -o mycollection.qhc
Instead of running two tools, one for generating the compressed help and another for generating the collection file, it is also possible to just run the qcollectiongenerator tool with a slightly modified project file instructing the generator to create the compressed help first.
... <docFiles> <generate> <file> <input>doc.qhp</input> <output>doc.qch</output> </file> </generate> <register> <file>doc.qch</file> </register> </docFiles> ...
Of course, it is possible to specify more than one file in the generate
or register
section, so any number of compressed help files can be generated and registered in one go.
Using Qt Help
Accessing the help contents can be done in two ways: Using Qt Assistant as documentation browser or using the QHelpEngine API for embedding the help contents directly in an application.
Using Qt Assistant
Qt Assistant operates on a collection file which can be specified before startup. If no collection file is given, a default one will be created and used. In either case, it is possible to register any Qt compressed help file and access the help contents.
When using Qt Assistant as the help browser for an application, it should be possible to customize it to fit the application better, so that it does not look like an independent, standalone help browser. To achieve this, several additional properties can be set in a Qt help collection file, to change for example the title or application icon of Qt Assistant. For more information, see the Qt Assistant Manual.
Using QHelpEngine API
Instead of showing the help in an external application like the Qt Assistant, it is also possible to embed the online help in the application. The contents can then be retrieved via the QHelpEngine class and can be displayed in nearly any form. Showing the help in a QTextBrowser is probably the most common way, but embedding it in What's This help is also perfectly possible.
Retrieving help data from the file engine does not involve a lot of code. The first step is to create an instance of the help engine. Then we ask the engine for the links assigned to the identifier, in this case MyDialog::ChangeButton
. If a link was found, meaning at least one help document exists on this topic, we get the actual help contents by calling QHelpEngineCore::fileData() and display the document to the user.
QHelpEngineCore helpEngine("mycollection.qhc"); ... // get all file references for the identifier QMap<QString, QUrl> links = helpEngine.linksForIdentifier(QLatin1String("MyDialog::ChangeButton")); // If help is available for this keyword, get the help data // of the first file reference. if (links.count()) { QByteArray helpData = helpEngine->fileData(links.constBegin().value()); // show the documentation to the user if (!helpData.isEmpty()) displayHelp(helpData); }
For further information on how to use the API, have a look at the QHelpEngine class reference.


German exports rise in October, defying expectations
by EndPlayBERLIN (AP) - German exports posted a second consecutive month-on-month increase in October, defying economists' expectations of a slight decline.
The Federal Statistical Office said Monday that exports rose 1.2% compared with the previous month. That followed a 1.5% increase in September.
In year-on-year terms, exports were up 1.9%, led by a 4.6% rise in demand from countries outside the European Union. Exports to other EU nations rose only 0.1%.
German imports were flat compared with September and down 0.6% on the year.
The unexpectedly upbeat exports report followed data last week showing that factory orders and industrial production both declined in October. Germany only narrowly avoided entering a recession in the third quarter.

Thailand to ban single-use plastics in 2021
by Coconuts BangkokIn a bid to rid the country of four types of disposable plastics within two years, Thailand’s cabinet has endorsed a plan to make single-use plastics illegal just over 13 months from now.
Following the cabinet meeting today, Minister Warawut Silpa-archa of the environment ministry said the government had approved his proposed ban to come into effect on New Year’s Day of 2021.
Dozens of Thai malls pledge to drop plastic bags for 2020
Specific penalties for violating the planned ban were not specified. Warawut’s announcement comes in the wake of movement away from Thailand’s dependency on the convenience of river-choking and wildlife killing disposable plastic.
In recent weeks, dozens of shopping malls and department stores signed onto an agreement to stop providing plastic bags in January.
“The participating stores are all Thailand’s biggest names including 7-Eleven, Central, HomePro, Big C and more,” Warawut told Coconuts Bangkok last month.

Hi, I'm Keri. As a wife and mother of two, I see the challenges Missourians face; exorbitant healthcare costs, underfunded schools, a criminal justice system struggling to keep its citizens safe, and a legislature which prefers divisiveness and sensationalism to pragmatic solutions to real life problems.
I grew up in a military family who taught me the values of hard work, patriotism and dedication to the service of others. These are the values that have guided all of my professional pursuits.
After graduating with a bachelors degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Central Oklahoma, I moved to Kansas City with my husband, Kenny. He accepted a position with Cerner and I began working for The Jackson County Children's Division. We really enjoyed the Kansas City area and decided we are Midwesterners at heart. It did not take long for us to decide that we wanted to plant roots in Lee's Summit and raise our family here.
At the Jackson County Children's Division, I worked to strengthen families, and to ensure the safety of Missouri's youngest citizens. It was working with these vulnerable populations that led me to pursue further education and ways to better enable me to advocate for the needs of the underserved.
While completing my Masters degree in social work from the University of Kansas, I worked in several areas where I witnessed the gaps in healthcare Missourians experience, as well as the effects of generational poverty and trauma on children struggling to learn in underfunded classrooms.
These experiences left an indelible mark on me, and influenced my desire to do more to affect tangible, sustainable change. Whether in courtrooms, healthcare settings, or schools, I have fought and advocated for fairness, justice, and to amplify the voices of those struggling beneath the weight of bureaucracy.
I believe there are solutions to the issues that each of us face, and it's time that we work toward them together. I'm ready to keep fighting. I'm ready to fight for my family's future and the future of all Missouri's families. Let's do this.

Syr Blog
Syr On The Inside, How Syr Renders Part 1
A Deeper Dive into how Syr renders and constructs instances. Syr uses a Virtual-DOM
like structure. This is the Instance-Tree
for the application.
When using Syr, a Component
is defined. This base Component
is then constructed at run-time
and represents the application for the entirety of its existence inside the Guest
system. We transport messages with this structure to the Host
system, where rendering is setup.
A basic component defined in Syr.
class MyComponent extends Component {
render() {
return <View>Hello World</View>;
}
}
Since JavaScript constructors are sugared function constructors we end up with an object with a render
function attached that will return an AST structure.
What about the JSX?
If you're not familiar with JSX
, a quick recap is that it is a way for us to represent JavaScript Classes
in an elegant composition based manner.
Syr ships with a JSX
transform for Babel
. We've forked this implementation from babel-plugin-transform-jsx
by Caleb Meredith. One feature added is UUID
at transpile time. We leverage this to recompute state without needing to diff a tree and transport those changes to the Host system.
Syr transpiles JSX
directly into an AST tree. Following is an example of what JSX looks like, and what the corresponding tree looks like after going through Babel
.
<View>
<Text>Hello World</Text>
</View>
Converts into
{
elementName: function(), // instanceof View
attributes: {},
children: [
{
elementName: function(), // instanceof Text
attributes: {},
children: []
}
]
}
We have an AST Tree now what?
When the application is parsed and loaded, it sits idle until the developer executes the Render
method.
Render(MyComponent);
This method takes the AST from the component and creates instances of the classes for the tree. It then uses the JavaScript to Native Bridge
to send messages containing the UI structure.
Syr's Host
Bridge implementations receive the AST Tree representing the UI. The Bridge sends this tree to the Raster, where the elements are constructed on the Host
environment, and cached against the UUID
for later state control.
The Host
environment attaches these controls to a RootView
, and once complete sends a message back to the Guest
environment, informing it of the UUID
which was constructed and rendered, and kicks off the componentDidMount
lifecycle event.
The Host
environment and the Guest
environment exchange a series of messages that continue while the application is executing. We'll continue to break those Classes down in future posts, stay tuned!

Why React-Native Didn't Fit Well
Keeping a developer journal is something that I've been meaning to keep up with. But building the library and framework has been an amazing chore, and entertaining task at the same time! I thought it would be good to keep documenting the progress and the work that has been done to make something like Syr.
This project originated at PayPal. We originally had set out to write a new experience using the beloved React-Native. We iterated through several versions of React Native. From the early Teens to the late Forties. We came to the conclusion that as much as we really liked the ecosystem, the platform was not where we needed.
Ultimately we wanted create an SDK for Native applications. We had hoped to leverage React Native to drive multi-platform, javascript developer support, live updates, and more. While React Native had a bunch of upsides, it hadn't been created for our use case. We were trying to fit our feet into the wrong shoes.
Among the issues we ran into, a few really big ones were in our way. Size, trying to ship an SDK that is over 15mb to mobile platforms, this is generally a no go. Distribution, over time React Native hasn't had stellar support for integrating into existing applications, the surface area of the number of static libraries really put the hurt on our plans to send out a complete SDK.
With these pain points in mind, I set out to create Syr. An alternative, that would have a wildly different approach, while maintaining a similar set of principals. Over the coming months, I'll start to detail the decisions, and progress that was made with the library through more blog posts!

The categories of information available in the ABS-CH are divided into two major clusters:
1. National records: The submission forms under the national records category allow Parties to publish relevant national information for the implementation of the Protocol. Only [designated users] can create and publish this type of records. The ABS-CH currently hosts the following national records:
2. Reference records: The submission forms under the “reference records” category allow the submission of information relevant to the Protocol from any registered user (e.g. Governments, representatives of indigenous and local communities, academia, nongovernmental organizations, research institutions, business representatives, etc.) to the Virtual Library of the ABS Clearing-House. The Secretariat is responsible for publishing all reference records.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/Microsoft.powershell.utility/convertfrom-sddlstring?view=powershell-6
No installation is needed, however, in order to run Invoke-ACLpwn, a few depedencies must be met:
.NET 3.5 or later
sharphound.exe
If you want to run DCsync, you need mimikatz.exe as well.
Uses SharpHound.exe (bloodhound) to enumerate all ACLs on the domain
When the chain has been calculated, the script will then start to exploit every step in the chain:
- The user is added to the necessary groups
- Two ACEs are added to the ACL of the domain object:
- Replicating Directory Changes
- Replicating Directory Changes All
- Optionally, Mimkatz’ DCSync feature is invoked and the hash of the given user account is requested. By default the krbtgt account will be used.
After the exploitation is done, the script will remove the group memberships that were added during exploitation as well as the ACEs in the ACL of the domain object.
Example usage:
./Invoke-ACL.ps1 -SharpHoundLocation .\sharphound.exe -NoDCSync
./Invoke-ACL.ps1 -SharpHoundLocation .\sharphound.exe -mimiKatzLocation .\mimikatz.exe
./Invoke-ACL.ps1 -SharpHoundLocation .\sharphound.exe -mimiKatzLocation .\mimikatz.exe -userAccountToPwn 'Administrator'

Clay as a feed supplement in dairy cattle has multiple benefits
| Source: | University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences |
| Summary: | Dairy producers frequently add clay as a feed supplement to reduce the symptoms of aflatoxin and subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) in lactating cows. In a new study, researchers show that clay can also improve the degradability of feedstuffs. |
Dairy producers frequently add clay as a feed supplement to reduce the symptoms of aflatoxin and subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) in lactating cows. In a new study from the University of Illinois, researchers show that clay can also improve the degradability of feedstuffs.
"Farmers are giving this clay, but they want to know if the corn silage or hay the cow is eating is affected. We found that yes, the clay is changing the way the cow degrades feedstuffs," says Phil Cardoso, associate professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at Illinois and co-author of the Animal Feed Science and Technology study.
Cardoso and his team tested the degradability of six feedstuffs — dried alfalfa hay, grass hay, wet brewer's grains, ground corn, corn silage, and soybean meal — along with no added clay, 1%, or 2% of dietary dry matter.
The researchers placed the feedstuffs into mesh bags and inserted them directly into the rumen through a cannula or fistula, a surgically installed portal that allows the contents of the rumen to be sampled for research purposes. The bags were then drawn out at multiple time intervals (two hours to four days) and analyzed.
"There were some differences in how the feedstuffs degraded over time. When clay was added to grass hay at 2% of dietary dry matter, the digestibility and usage of the fat in that material was maximized. It's better. And we didn't see a decline in degradability of the other feedstuffs, either," Cardoso says. "Overall, to maximize the benefits of clay, we'd recommend adding it at 1 to 2% of dietary dry matter."
Cardoso's previous research has shown that multiple types of clay are effective in handling aflatoxin, a toxic substance produced by fungal contaminants on feed. When the toxin is bound up by the clay, it is simply excreted from the cow's body, rather than being absorbed in the bloodstream. And a 2018 study by Cardoso's team showed that aluminosilicate clay improved cows' immune function and reduced liver inflammation during an aflatoxin challenge.
Cardoso says, "From all of our work on this, I can tell producers whenever they are facing the risk of aflatoxin, they should consider using clay without worrying about it binding other minerals or hindering forage digestibility. Rather, we've shown digestibility could increase. Of course, it's important to ensure the specific clay product has been tested."
Clay's benefits don't stop there. Because the material attracts and binds positively charged ions, clay can make the rumen less acidic. This is important particularly given the popularity of increasing grain concentrates in TMR feed, which can lead to SARA. In a 2016 study from Cardoso's group, cows challenged with excess wheat in a TMR diet produced more and higher-quality milk and had higher rumen pH when fed bentonite clay at 2% of dietary dry matter.
"Basically, clay has all these benefits: It reduces aflatoxin toxicity, works as a pH buffer, and also improves the degradability of some feedstuffs," Cardoso says. "Producers should know this."

Write a program to solve the 8-puzzle problem (and its natural generalizations) using the A* search algorithm.
The problem. The 8-puzzle problem is a puzzle invented and popularized by Noyes Palmer Chapman in the 1870s. It is played on a 3-by-3 grid with 8 square blocks labeled 1 through 8 and a blank square. Your goal is to rearrange the blocks so that they are in order, using as few moves as possible. You are permitted to slide blocks horizontally or vertically into the blank square. The following shows a sequence of legal moves from an initial board (left) to the goal board (right).
1 3 1 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 2 5 => 4 2 5 => 4 5 => 4 5 => 4 5 6 7 8 6 7 8 6 7 8 6 7 8 6 7 8 initial 1 left 2 up 5 left goal
Best-first search. Now, we describe a solution to the problem that illustrates a general artificial intelligence methodology known as the A* search algorithm. We define a search node of the game to be a board, the number of moves made to reach the board, and the previous search node. First, insert the initial search node (the initial board, 0 moves, and a null previous search node) into a priority queue. Then, delete from the priority queue the search node with the minimum priority, and insert onto the priority queue all neighboring search nodes (those that can be reached in one move from the dequeued search node). Repeat this procedure until the search node dequeued corresponds to a goal board. The success of this approach hinges on the choice of priority function for a search node. We consider two priority functions:
8 1 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 4 2 4 5 6 ---------------------- ---------------------- 7 6 5 7 8 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 2 0 0 2 2 0 3 initial goal Hamming = 5 + 0 Manhattan = 10 + 0
We make a key observation: To solve the puzzle from a given search node on the priority queue, the total number of moves we need to make (including those already made) is at least its priority, using either the Hamming or Manhattan priority function. (For Hamming priority, this is true because each block that is out of place must move at least once to reach its goal position. For Manhattan priority, this is true because each block must move its Manhattan distance from its goal position. Note that we do not count the blank square when computing the Hamming or Manhattan priorities.) Consequently, when the goal board is dequeued, we have discovered not only a sequence of moves from the initial board to the goal board, but one that makes the fewest number of moves. (Challenge for the mathematically inclined: prove this fact.)
A critical optimization. Best-first search has one annoying feature: search nodes corresponding to the same board are enqueued on the priority queue many times. To reduce unnecessary exploration of useless search nodes, when considering the neighbors of a search node, don't enqueue a neighbor if its board is the same as the board of the previous search node.
8 1 3 8 1 3 8 1 8 1 3 8 1 3 4 2 4 2 4 2 3 4 2 4 2 5 7 6 5 7 6 5 7 6 5 7 6 5 7 6 previous search node neighbor neighbor neighbor (disallow)
Game tree. One way to view the computation is as a game tree, where each search node is a node in the game tree and the children of a node correspond to its neighboring search nodes. The root of the game tree is the initial search node; the internal nodes have already been processed; the leaf nodes are maintained in a priority queue; at each step, the A* algorithm removes the node with the smallest priority from the priority queue and processes it (by adding its children to both the game tree and the priority queue).
Detecting unsolvable puzzles. Not all initial boards can lead to the goal board by a sequence of legal moves, including the two below:
To detect such situations, use the fact that boards are divided into two equivalence classes with respect to reachability: (i) those that lead to the goal board and (ii) those that lead to the goal board if we modify the initial board by swapping any pair of blocks (the blank square is not a block). (Difficult challenge for the mathematically inclined: prove this fact.) To apply the fact, run the A* algorithm on two puzzle instances—one with the initial board and one with the initial board modified by swapping a pair of blocks—in lockstep (alternating back and forth between exploring search nodes in each of the two game trees). Exactly one of the two will lead to the goal board.1 2 3 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 5 6 7 8 8 7 9 10 11 12 13 15 14 unsolvable unsolvable
Board and Solver data types. Organize your program by creating an immutable data type Board with the following API:
public class Board { public Board(int[][] blocks) // construct a board from an n-by-n array of blocks // (where blocks[i][j] = block in row i, column j) public int dimension() // board dimension n public int hamming() // number of blocks out of place public int manhattan() // sum of Manhattan distances between blocks and goal public boolean isGoal() // is this board the goal board? public Board twin() // a board that is obtained by exchanging any pair of blocks public boolean equals(Object y) // does this board equal y? public Iterable<Board> neighbors() // all neighboring boards public String toString() // string representation of this board (in the output format specified below) public static void main(String[] args) // unit tests (not graded) }
Corner cases. You may assume that the constructor receives an n-by-n array containing the n2 integers between 0 and n2 − 1, where 0 represents the blank square.
Performance requirements. Your implementation should support all Board methods in time proportional to n2 (or better) in the worst case.
Also, create an immutable data type Solver with the following API:
To implement the A* algorithm, you must use MinPQ from algs4.jar for the priority queue(s).public class Solver { public Solver(Board initial) // find a solution to the initial board (using the A* algorithm) public boolean isSolvable() // is the initial board solvable? public int moves() // min number of moves to solve initial board; -1 if unsolvable public Iterable<Board> solution() // sequence of boards in a shortest solution; null if unsolvable public static void main(String[] args) // solve a slider puzzle (given below) }
Corner cases. The constructor should throw a java.lang.NullPointerException if passed a null argument.
Solver test client. Use the following test client to read a puzzle from a file (specified as a command-line argument) and print the solution to standard output.
public static void main(String[] args) { // create initial board from file In in = new In(args[0]); int n = in.readInt(); int[][] blocks = new int[n][n]; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) blocks[i][j] = in.readInt(); Board initial = new Board(blocks); // solve the puzzle Solver solver = new Solver(initial); // print solution to standard output if (!solver.isSolvable()) StdOut.println("No solution possible"); else { StdOut.println("Minimum number of moves = " + solver.moves()); for (Board board : solver.solution()) StdOut.println(board); } }
Input and output formats. The input and output format for a board is the board dimension n followed by the n-by-n initial board, using 0 to represent the blank square. As an example,
% more puzzle04.txt 3 0 1 3 4 2 5 7 8 6 % java Solver puzzle04.txt Minimum number of moves = 4 3 0 1 3 4 2 5 7 8 6 3 1 0 3 4 2 5 7 8 6 3 1 2 3 4 0 5 7 8 6 3 1 2 3 4 5 0 7 8 6 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 0
Your program should work correctly for arbitrary n-by-n boards (for any 2 ≤ n < 128), even if it is too slow to solve some of them in a reasonable amount of time.% more puzzle3x3-unsolvable.txt 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 7 0 % java Solver puzzle3x3-unsolvable.txt No solution possible
Deliverables. Submit only the files Board.java and Solver.java (with the Manhattan priority). We will supply algs4.jar. You may not call any library functions other those in java.lang, java.util, and algs4.jar. You must use MinPQ for the priority queue(s).

BMW 118i M Sport review: New 1-Series hatchback consigns rear drive to history
Mirror Motoring's Colin Goodwin looks at the new 1-Series BMW that is - shock, horror - front-wheel drive... and asks: 'Is it sacrilege, or a better car because of it?'
by Colin Goodwin, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/colin-goodwin/BMW used to say proper cars driven by true enthusiasts should be rear-wheel drive.
All through the late 1980s and 90s it produced adverts that said as much.
And then in 2014 BMW launched the 2-Series Active Tourer.
It was dull to drive and – horror – was front-wheel drive.
Around about the same time BMW carried out some research and discovered that four out of five buyers of the 1-Series hatchback didn’t give a hoot that it was rear-wheel drive.
So now we have a new 1-Series that is front-wheel drive.
Sacrilege... or a better car because of it?
To me the 1-Series never made sense as a rear-wheel drive car. It was heavier than it needed to be and the packaging was poor because of the way the engines were mounted.
I didn’t much like the look of it either.
This new BMW 1-Series is based on the same platform as the Mini Clubman and Countryman, as well as family members the X1 and X2.
The old 1-Series came with four and six-cylinder engines – the new car has a choice of three or four-cylinder units, diesel and petrol.
There’s still a powerful version that’s called the 135i, powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged motor that produces 300bhp.
This hot version of the 1-Series is four-wheel drive, as is the most powerful 120d model.
The 135i is a natural rival to Mercedes-Benz’s A35 and Volkswagen’s Golf R but we’re going to check out the 118i which, along with the 118d, is going to be the volume seller.
In its M Sport trim it costs £26,715 but with the options loaded on to our test car it costs £37,500 – which is far too expensive.
It looks considerably better than the old one. The proportions are neater and the grille, while not as domineering as some of BMW’s latest designs, looks dynamic.
But the big change is inside. There’s now considerably more legroom at the back. You’ve got a quality interior with the option of more brighter colours than before.
This BMW is going to be bought by younger customers.
The dashboard doesn’t have the expanse of touch-screens available on a Mercedes A-Class but there’s still a wide range of tech, much of it optional.
Our car has the digital instrument panel option that’s part of the Technology Pack 2 (£1,500) but I’d do without it and stick with the standard, very easy to read (unlike the digital instruments), analogue circular dials. I’d also skip the pointless gesture control.
One option that is interesting is the Touring fuel tank. It adds an extra eight litres of fuel capacity and costs only £50.
Tick that box.
The 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine in this 118i is shared with the Mini and other small BMWs. It’s powerful enough, smooth and economical.
In our car it’s connected to the £1,350 dual-clutch automatic transmission. It’s a smooth and effective gearbox and I can’t see a reason not to order it if you anticipate lots of town driving.
I’m going to ask a non-petrolhead friend who’s owned a 1-Series for quite a few years if she knows whether her car is front or rear-wheel drive.
I’ll bet she doesn’t.
On that car it was only really obvious on the very high-powered models.
And you can’t tell that this new small BMW is front-wheel drive.
The engineers have done an excellent job of removing any vices such as torque steer and the 1-Series corners accurately.
In other words, the enthusiasts will be happy.

Something extraordinary happened in the Olympics opening ceremony this year. While each country's team got the loudest cheer from their own country, one particular team got a standing ovation from the whole crowd. It wasn't a team of record breakers or gold medalists, but a group of 10 people who had gone through much more than rigorous training and tough competition. They haven't been running to win first place, but to save their lives.
To the world, refugees have always been figures of sympathy. But the 10 athletes in the Olympic Refugee Team are not passive victims to the abuses they have suffered. They run, swim and fight not just to win but to make a statement. That despite not playing for any country, they play for the sheer love of the sport. Unveiling the composition of the Refugee Team, IOC President Thomas Bach said:
"These refugees have no home, no team, no flag and no national anthem. This will be a symbol of hope for all the refugees in our world, and will make the world better aware of the magnitude of their crisis."
The journey of these athletes - from surviving a war torn nation to being on equal ground with their heroes is truly inspiring. The Refugee Team consists of 10 sportsmen who were selected from among 43 candidates who were verified as refugees by the United Nations. Among these are 2 Syrian swimmers, 2 Congolese judokas, an Ethiopian marathoner and 5 middle-distance runners from South Sudan. And each and every one of their stories is reflective of the incredible odds they have conquered to get to this stage.
For instance, take the case of Yusra Mardini, an 18 year old swimmer who would not have survived had it not been for her swimming skills. While she, her sister and 18 other Syrian refugees were escaping on a small boat from Turkey to Greece, the engine died. Yusra and her sister, who is also a swimmer, pulled the boat to the Greek island of Lesbos over the course of three and a half hours. Another swimmer, Rami Anis fled his hometown of Aleppo in 2011 to escape bombings and kidnappings and went to Istanbul.
These people may not have the facilities and luxuries which are available for the others. But that hasn't stopped them from dreaming big and working hard towards making it a reality. While sporting is their passion, they also want to put a spotlight on the violence they suffered and fled from. The Olympics has given them a platform to speak up about the tyranny that millions of people in their countries go through. And by doing they have made the Olympics not just about the sports but about changing the world one game at a time.


Blocks in Ruby refer to blocks of code. If you've written code before then you've already encountered code blocks. A block is just the code between the keywords |sum, n| sum + n
part.
Although almost everything in Ruby is an object, blocks are not. They are part of the method that is called. In our example, the block |sum, n| sum + n
is part of the inject method and not an individual object. (Methods are another exceptions in Ruby and are also not objects. )
Procs are objects that contain blocks and can be stored as variables or passed to methods as arguments. The syntax for creating a

) the block is executed. Basically, this just means that you store a block as an object and this is what I mean by blocks being the "building blocks" of procs. Once you've made the block into an object through creating a proc, you then can store it in a variable, put it inside an array, send it as method arguments, or treat them as you would any other object.
NOTE: Besides being objects that can be passed around, procs also differ from methods in the way they treat arguments. Procs don't care whether they get the right number of arguments. If there is more than the required amount, it just takes what's needed and if there is not, the parameter gets set to
Lambdas are special types of procs. The syntax in creating one differs in that you create a lambda object by specifically explicitly creating it like so:
One way lambdas differ from procs is the way they treat the
Lastly, lambdas are pickier than procs and do care about the right number of arguments. Why do these differences matter? "The answer is in the conceptual differences between procedures and methods. Procs in Ruby are drop in code snippets, not methods. Because of this, the Proc return is the proc_return method’s return, and acts accordingly. Lambdas however act just like methods, as they check the number of arguments and do not override the calling methods return. For this reason, it is best to think of lambdas as another way to write methods, an anonymous way at that."–reactive.io
Blocks just refer to code blocks and is the code typically written between the keywords

Dementia and Alzheimer's disease trials giving patients hope of a better life
by Sophie ScottKaren Cooke loves reading to her granddaughter Paityn.
But with her memory faltering, it's not always easy.
"Nanny," Paityn says, looking up at her grandmother.
"You already said that."
Key points:
- Dementia affects more than 400,000 Australians and is the country's second-biggest cause of death
- Experts are warning of a dementia "tsunami" in the coming years
- The early results from two trials are giving patients — and potential patients — hope for the future
It was incidents like this — the little things — that her family first started noticing.
Ms Cooke, 54, was diagnosed with early-onset dementia two years ago — a disease she describes as being like "a disco haze" going through her head.
"It was really confronting to start off with," she said.
"I just don't like the thought of not knowing what's happening, which is what will happen."
She now lives with her daughter Lexie and Paityn in Bendigo, and together they've made practical changes to deal with her memory loss.
It is the everyday situations that are most complicated for Ms Cooke.
But, according to researchers at the forefront of fighting the disease, there is hope.
The dementia tsunami
For Associate Professor Michael Woodward, from Melbourne-based specialist health service provider Austin Health, the push for better treatment could not come soon enough.
Dr Woodward believes the number of Australians diagnosed with dementia is set to skyrocket.
"People talk about the threats of the tsunami or global warming and terrorism," Dr Woodward said.
"I think actually dementia and Alzheimer's disease is the tsunami that's sadly almost bearing down on us.
"We really need to do a lot to work out how we are going to combat it."
Dementia fast facts
- Alzheimer's disease is a form of dementia that affects thinking, behaviour, and the ability to perform everyday tasks
- As Australia's population ages it is predicted the number of people with dementia will swell to more than 589,000 by 2028, and more than 1 million by 2058
- The cost of dementia in Australia is more than $14 billion a year
- There is no cure, but experts are developing drug and lifestyle-based treatments
For Ms Cooke, it comes in the form of a trial for a new medication called gantenerumab.
It is a monoclonal antibody — a protein made in a laboratory — that binds to substances in the body.
Doctors are optimistic this will be the wonder drug they have been waiting for.
Globally, there are several thousand participants involved in the trial. Ms Cooke is one of 21 patients being treated at Melbourne's Austin Hospital.
The drug is designed to stick to a toxic protein called amyloid, found in the brains of people with dementia, and remove it.
Results from earlier trials of the drug have been disappointing, but in higher doses, researchers said it could slow the rate of cognitive decline in people with early-stage Alzheimer's disease.
It will be at least two years before doctors know if the drug can improve people's memory.
"We want to see if the drug has a clinical benefit," Dr Woodward said. "If [it] improves their memory, their day-to-day function.
"And indeed, that we may even be able to show that the disease slows down."
The 'long goodbye'
For Linda Jackson, watching her mother struggle with dementia was painful.
"Someone described dementia as a long goodbye and it was a bit like that," she said.
"I remember once or twice going into my mother's house and she'd be sitting on the sofa looking out the window with this look on her face.
"She just didn't understand what was happening.
"She recognised us all until the end of her life, although she forgot nearly everything else."
The 69-year-old from the Perth suburb of Mt Pleasant hasn't demonstrated any symptoms of the disease, but her family history of the condition has made her wary.
And Ms Jackson is keen to do whatever she can to stop it happening to her.
"I don't want anyone [to] have to go through that," she said.
She's just completed a trial of the drug Xanamem, which aims to stop Alzheimer's by blocking the body's production of the stress hormone cortisol.
"I hope that this drug proves to be really effective and that can really help, and in 10 years' time when I might need it, it will be available."
Medical experts now know that when cortisol levels are elevated for long periods, it can affect memory function.
"High levels of cortisol linked with stress and other processes are bad for our whole body, but may be particularly bad for our brain and may increase our risk of developing dementia," Dr Woodward said.
Bill Ketelbey from drug maker Actinogen — the company behind Xanamem — said the early research had been promising.
"In our most recent study, what we showed was that giving 20 milligrams daily to a healthy, elderly population, we improved cognition rapidly and it persisted," he said.
While experts are optimistic about the early results, they say evidence of the medication being effective in people with Alzheimer's is needed before it can be widely prescribed.
The next trial will be on people who have the early signs of Alzheimer's disease.
Ms Jackson, who has been taking the pills for 12 weeks, is hopeful.
"Anything that can improve people's chances and find some sort of cure, you know, is just vital," she said.
Making the most of it
Back in Bendigo, Karen Cooke is doing more than just waiting for a miracle.
She's convinced staying active keeps her brain sharp — and according to the evidence, she's right.
So she plays competitive table tennis, walks up to 20 kilometres every day, and goes to the gym.
"If I don't exercise, I'm lucky if I can string a sentence together. I really, really struggle," she said.
"But the more oxygen I get into the brain, the almost 'normal' I feel."
"I am definitely not looking forward to going to a nursing home. Not on your life.
"That will be the next step for me, it's my job now to try and stay here as long as I can make the most of it."
Part-two of the ABC's investigation into dementia will look at a ground-breaking study of 6,000 Australians assessing whether lifestyle interventions such as diet and exercise can dramatically reduce a person's risk of developing the disease.

Lets you configure aspects on components in a {@link
org.picocontainer.PicoContainer}. Two kinds of advice are supported,
interceptors and mixins. An interceptor is invoked around method
calls. Interceptors implement the
org.aopalliance.interceptor.MethodInterceptor
interface. Mixins allow you to add new methods and behavior to an
existing object. You can think of them as a way of dynamically
providing multiple inheritance in java. Mixins can be any kind of
object; they are not required to extend or implement anything. You
can configure aspects in Java, or using groovy. Advice
can be configured for all components in a container, using pointcuts,
or advice can be applied to just one component. Advice objects may
themselves have dependencies on other components, supplied by the
container. Currently, dynaop is used to apply the aspects.
Other backends may be supported in the future.
public class LoggingInterceptor implements org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInterceptor { public Object invoke(MethodInvocation invocation) throws Throwable { System.out.println("start"); Object result = invocation.proceed(); System.out.println("end"); return result; } }We'll also assume that we have a
Dao
interface, with an
implementation class DaoImpl
.
Dao
in the container:
AspectablePicoContainerFactory containerFactory = new DynaopAspectablePicoContainerFactory(); AspectablePicoContainer pico = containerFactory.createContainer(); PointcutsFactory cuts = pico.getPointcutsFactory(); LoggingInterceptor logger = new LoggingInterceptor(); pico.registerComponent(Dao.class, DaoImpl.class); pico.registerInterceptor(cuts.instancesOf(Dao.class), cuts.allMethods(), logger); Dao dao = (Dao) pico.getComponentInstance(Dao.class); dao.aMethod(); // will print 'startend'
If we wanted to apply our interceptor to just one component, we could do the following:
pico.registerComponent("myDao", DaoImpl.class); pico.registerInterceptor(cuts.component("myDao"), cuts.allMethods(), logger);Note that components and aspects can be registered in any order. An aspect can be registered before the component it applies to. In the example above, we could have reversed the two lines and registered the interceptor before the component.
PicoContainer
, with
dependencies on other components. Let's revise our LoggingInterceptor
to have a dependency on a log object of some sort. For simplicity, we'll just
use a StringBuffer
as our logger (in real life it might be a log4j or a commons
logging object of some sort):
public class LoggingInterceptor { private final StringBuffer log; public LoggingInterceptor(StringBuffer log) { this.log = log; } public Object invoke(MethodInvocation invocation) throws Throwable { log.append("start"); Object result = invocation.proceed(); log.append("end"); return result; } }With this in place, we could then register our
LoggingInterceptor
and
apply it to a component as follows:
// register dependency of LoggingInterceptor: pico.registerComponentInstance("log", StringBuffer.log); pico.registerComponent("logger", LoggingInterceptor.class); pico.registerComponent("myDao", DaoImpl.class); // you can specify the component key of the advice object: pico.registerInterceptor(cuts.component("myDao"), cuts.allMethods(), "logger");Pico will supply the
StringBuffer
"log" component to the constructor of the LoggingInterceptor
.
Mixins are a special case. While you can register a mixin as an explicit component in the container, you usually don't want to. Applying the same mixin instance as advice to multiple components would in effect mean that multiple components would share the same base class object - sharing the same instances variables, etc. This is usually not a good thing. However, you may specify a mixin class that has dependencies on components in the container. The container will instantiate a new mixin object for each component that it applies the mixin to, but will satisfy any dependencies the mixin has from components in the container, using constructor injection.
cuts
, in the
first example. This interface provides methods for producing
pointcuts that match one class or method, or that match the class,
method or component name against a regular expressionm, pointcuts that
pick all instances of a given class, or all classes in a given
package, etc. You are not limited to the pointcuts produced
by PointcutsFactory
however. Any pointcut that
implements one of the interfaces {@link
org.nanocontainer.aop.ComponentPointcut}, {@link
org.nanocontainer.aop.ClassPointcut}, {@link
org.nanocontainer.aop.MethodPointcut} will work. Class pointcuts
match against the component's class. Component pointcuts match
against the component key. Method pointcuts match against the method
being invoked. Method pointcuts only apply to interceptor advice;
they are not used for mixins.
registerComponentInstance
, or for components supplied via a custom ComponentAdapter
.


The Player Info Block is a special symbol: it has a special opening and closing part (
<
and
>
) and some other symbols can be put inside of it.
When applying the
name template
on a replay, the
template engine
will evaluate and insert the contents of the
Player Info Block
for
every
player in the replay, grouping players by team and separating team members with a comma and teams with the
" vs "
string.
Example: In a 2v2 game the template:
<[PIBplayer] ([PIBrace])>
May result in:
Bob (T), Ben (Z) vs Rob (P), Ann (P)
