Ex-Eagles Kadiri Ikhana seeks financial support - Premium Times Nigeria
by Agency ReportFormer Green Eagles defender, Kadiri Ikhana, has called for financial support from Nigerians to enable him to undergo three surgeries.
Ikhana who made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja, said the surgery would cost N10 million naira.
He explained that he was advised by the Medical Director, Christopher Otabor of Alliance Hospital in Abuja to undergo a hip replacement surgery after a Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
“I need the support of my fellow Nigerians to assist me to perform the remaining three operations which is scheduled for November 19 and November 20.
”The third surgery will be carried out in December.
According to him, the call for support became necessary because the hospital and Federation of Coaches alone cannot handle the huge expenses.
“I appreciate the efforts of Alliance hospital for the first free surgery and for saving my life and making me to walk again,” he said.
Ikhana played for the Eagles as well as the Nigerian Army, 1st Infantry Division of the Armed Forces, representing Nigeria in two World Military Games.
He also played for Bendel Insurance for five years, winning trophies with the club and also played for the defunct Abiola Babes before quitting the game as player.
Ikhana then moved on to coach El Kanemi Warriors, BCC Lions, Sunshine stars, Kastina United,Nasarawa United,Yobe among others.
He won the CAF Champions League with Enyimba football club of Aba as a coach.(NAN)


'I do believe this squad can achieve good things' - Neal Ardley backs Notts County players
Magpies were frustrated by Sutton United at the weekend
by Leigh CurtisNeal Ardley retains full belief his Notts County squad can achieve success this season, but must quickly rediscover their “mojo”.
For the second successive home game, the Magpies were held at home as Sutton United snatched a 1-1 draw at the weekend.
Notts have not posted a win in the league since a 4-0 victory at Woking at the end of October which has seen slip five points behind the top seven.
Some fans are asking Ardley to change his side in a bid to spark an upturn in results and the Magpies boss feels they are still capable of achieving their ambitions of a top-seven finish.
“We can only have 16 players who can go into a matchday squad on any given Saturday,” he said.
“Do you want to carry a 22-man squad with players who can’t get in the team? No.
“The budget was already overinflated with the players who were already here.
“So we had to do work in terms of getting players out to even it out.
“It is difficult. But I do believe this squad can achieve good things. We’ve just got to get our mojo back.”

NASA Tests Aquatic Rover In Antarctica Searching For Life Under Ice
by APPLOS ANGELES: NASA is testing an underwater robotic explorer in Antarctica this month to look for life under the ice, according to a release of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
Developed by engineers at the JPL, the Buoyant Rover for Under-Ice Exploration (BRUIE) could one day explore ice-covered lunar oceans like those on Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus, said the JPL.
The upcoming test of the rover’s endurance at Australia’s Casey research station is its first trial in Antarctica.
According to the JPL, there are moons throughout the solar system believed to be covered in deep oceans hidden beneath thick, frozen surfaces. Kevin Hand, JPL lead scientist on the BRUIE project, believes that these lunar oceans may be the best places to look for life in the solar system.
“The ice shells covering these distant oceans serve as a window into the oceans below, and the chemistry of the ice could help feed life within those oceans,” Hand said.
The Antarctic waters are the closest Earth analog to the seas of an icy moon, which makes them an ideal testing ground for BRUIE technology, said the JPL.
The buoyant rover, one meter long and equipped with two wheels to roll along beneath the ice, can take images and collect data on the important region where water and ice meet.
“BRUIE will carry several science instruments to measure parameters related to life, such as dissolved oxygen, water salinity, pressure, and temperature,” said Dan Berisford, JPL mechanical engineer.
NASA is already at work constructing the Europa Clipper orbiter, which is scheduled to be launched in 2025 to study Europa, laying the groundwork for a future mission that could search for life beneath the ice.

- firePeriod (array, float [s]) – Event delay (after delay the event is generated)
Note
With this function is possible to create a custom pattern of spikes in three ways:
- Defining a sequence of absolute times for the spikes (absTimes), for example: 1.1s, 1.2s, 1.3s
- Defining a sequence of firing frequencies for the spikes (fireFreq), for example: 50Hz, 20Hz, 10Hz

- The following three examples create a pattern of three spikes with 20ms interspike interval
using three different approaches. The spikes come from virtual neuron 2 of virtual core 1, and are sent to physical cores 0 and 2:
virtualSourceCoreId = [1, 1, 1] neuronAddress = [2, 2, 2] coreDest = [5, 5, 5] # 0101 -> core 0 and 2 pattern.multiple_events(virtualSourceCoreId, neuronAddress, coreDest, absTimes = [20e-3, 40e-3, 60e-3]) pattern.multiple_events(virtualSourceCoreId, neuronAddress, coreDest, fireFreq = [50, 50, 50]) pattern.multiple_events(virtualSourceCoreId, neuronAddress, coreDest, firePeriod = [20e-3, 20e-3, 20e-3])

Parameters: - color (string) – Color of the pattern
- timeShift (int, optional) – Add this time to all the events
- ax (ax handle, optional) – Plot graph on this handle, otherwise a new figure will be created
Note
When plotting, different colors will be used according to the different virtual neuron addresses that are present in the pattern. For example virtual neuron 0 events and virtual neuron 1 events, even if in the same pattern, will be plotted with different colors.
This is useful because you can, just with a glance to the plot, understand the contributions of all virtual neurons
The label of each trace is constructed such to let you recognize who is the source, for example:
- virtual neuron 0 of virtual core 0, to all cores (1111) -> label = “Virtual Neuron C0N1”
- virtual neuron 20 of virtual core 1, to core 1 (0001) -> label = “Virtual Neuron C1N20”

- fireFreq (float, [Hz]) – Firing frequency you want to achieve ; event delay is calculate as 1/frequency
- firePeriod (float, [s]) – Event delay (after delay the event is generated)
Note
- virtualSourceCoreId must be in the range [0, 3]
- neuronAddress must be in the range [0, 255]
- coreDest is a 4 bit hot coded number, must be in the range [0, 15]
Examples
Initialize the pattern istantiating the object:
pattern = InputPattern(name = "pattern", isiBase = 900)
send a single event with 0.1s delay from virtual neuron 0 of virtual core 0, to all physical cores:
virtualSourceCoreId = 1 neuronAddress = 0 coreDest = 15 pattern.single_event(virtualSourceCoreId, neuronAddress, coreDest, firePeriod = 0.1)
send a single event with 0.02s delay (50Hz) from virtual neuron 2 of virtual core 1, to physical cores 0 and 1:
virtualSourceCoreId = 1 neuronAddress = 2 coreDest = 3 # 0011 -> core 0 and 1 pattern.single_event(virtualSourceCoreId, neuronAddress, coreDest, fireFreq = 50)
-
threshold_encoder
(virtualSourceCoreId, neuronAddressUpCH, neuronAddressDwCH, coreDest, threshold, t, y, noiseVar, initDelay)[source]¶ Create spikes with variable frequency, in the form of a specified function
Parameters: - virtualSourceCoreId (int) – Represent the ID of the virtual core where is located the virtual neuron (from 0 to 3)

- initDelay (float, [s]) – Delay of the first event
Note
A spike is generated when the signal does a step up or step down bigger than the threshold <threshold>.
Spikes are encoded in two channels (<neuronAddressUpCH> and <neuronAddressDwCH>) according to the direction of the jump (depending on the slope of the signal):
- deltaY > threshold –> Up channel spike
- deltaY < -threshold –> Dw channel spike
It is possible to specify an initial delay of the first spike changing <initDelay> It is possible to specify the variance <noiseVar> of a Gaussian noise added to the spike times
Note that the algorithm does not constrain the firing frequencies to a minimum or maximum, but they depend on the signal and the threshold. Minimum and maximum firing rates are calculated and printed (<TODO>)
- virtualSourceCoreId must be in the range [0, 3]
- neuronAddressUpCH must be in the range [0, 255]
- neuronAddressDwCH must be in the range [0, 255]

virtualSourceCoreId = 0 neuronAddressUpCH = 20 neuronAddressDwCH = 21 coreDest = 1 # 0001 -> core 1 t = np.arange(0, 1, 1e-6) y = np.sin(2 * np.pi * 1 * t) pattern.threshold_encoder(virtualSourceCoreId, neuronAddressUpCH, neuronAddressDwCH, threshold = 0.05, t = t, y = y, noiseVar = 0, initDelay = 0.1)


| | Craig Perry | Robert Perry was found shot to death on March 29, 2001, in a back bedroom of his mobile home in Kamiah, Idaho.† He was 83 and had been suffering from terminal throat cancer.† Robert Perry's 57-year-old nephew, Craig Perry, claimed to have found him while Craig's girlfriend, Carol Flynn, then called 911 to report the suicide.† The police arrived and filmed the scene for analysis, which was used when suspicions grew that this incident was no suicide.
Kamiah Police Marshal David Hasz described the scene later in court: The body lay on the floor, facing the bed.†  A deck of playing cards was scattered on the floor near him.† Perry clutched an oxygen tube in his right hand.
Craig and Carol gave their statements and seemed quite upset, but the police had doubts when those statements seemed inconsistent with the crime scene.† Their reservations deepened as the pair altered some details of their stories. Craig indicated that his uncle had made an earlier comment that he was going to "end it," and Craig had tried to joke with him about it to dissuade him, saying he did not want to clean up the mess. † They also said they'd found him on the floor, but then changed that to finding him slumped over on the bed, so close to the floor they couldn't believe he was still sitting.† Carol indicated that Craig then went to embrace the man, and finding him dead, placed him on the floor.
Prosecutors believed Craig Perry shot his uncle, and six months after the incident, Craig Perry was charged with second-degree murder.
At the trial in June 2004, the background came out.† A month before the death, Craig had moved in to the trailer to care for the ailing man, and a few weeks later, Carol had joined him.† At the time of the incident, both had been in the front room.† Carol said she had heard a loud pop and asked Craig if he had heard it. After he asked her what she was talking about, they both heard a second one and rushed to the room.
The defense argued that Robert killed himself because he was suffering and felt like a burden to his family.† †Each side called experts to interpret that evidence, most specifically the wound pattern and blood spatter evidence.†
 Craig Perry's pants were also entered into evidence, as they bore blood spatter as well.
For the prosecution, Rod Englert, a blood spatter analyst, reconstructed the event before the jury, using a stand-in person to represent Robert Perry.† He said that the fine mist of blood on Craig's pants was not a transfer smear from having handled the body but blowback from the spray released upon impact from a bullet, which meant that Craig was nearby when Robert was shot.† The fact that he had blood on his pants but none on his shirt seemed to contradict his statement that he had hugged his uncle when he found him.
In addition, Englert evaluated the blood on the bed and said that the man could not have been shot while sitting there with his head slumped, because blood would have hit his legs, and there was none found in those areas.† Blood found on the side of the bed indicated that Robert had been seated on the floor, leaning on the bed, when shot.† Blood on Robert's hands, Englert said, indicated that it was impossible that he had shot himself.† It seemed instead to have come from contact with blood on the floor.
However, the pistol was not tested for fingerprints, and no tests were done for gunshot residue in the bedroom or on Craig Perry, so important evidence for reconstruction was lost.† (A crime scene processor claimed the lab used did not accept gunshot residue tests.)† Also, no second bullet was recovered from the scene, though two shell casings were.
| | Dr. Michael Cihak | †
Pathologist Dr. Michael Cihak, who performed the autopsy, demonstrated how the pistol had to have been held to make the wounds he found on the righthand side of the back of Robert's head.† He seemed to think it was unlikely that anyone would have chosen that position to shoot himself, and showed how awkward it was.
However, Cihak had already changed his own findings once, based on reports.† †He had located one large bullet fragment and several smaller ones in the skull, and when he learned that one casing had been found, he said he had one bullet.† But when he later learned that two had been found, he changed that to say that one bullet alone could not have caused the wound he found.†
Despite his findings, he admitted on cross-examination that suicide could not be ruled out.
| | Dr. Vincent Di Maio |
His testimony was echoed by Dr. Vincent Di Maio, chief medical examiner from San Antonio, Texas, and nationally renowned expert on gunshot wounds.† He believed that someone other than the victim had shot him, and said that only five percent of suicidal shots are behind the ear.† He did not believe the man could have fired twice in succession.
To counter that, the defense called surgical pathologist George Lindholm, who testified it was possible for a man to shoot himself twice with that caliber weapon, because he might not lose consciousness the first time.† Lindholm also said that, when shooting with two hands, turning the weapon upside down, it was possible to shoot oneself that way.
Stuart James, a blood spatter pattern expert from Florida, interpreted the exhibits differently.† †He stated that the blood on Craig's pants could have come from the blood spewed when his uncle coughed, a frequent occurrence during the days leading up to the incident.† He did not think a .22-caliber would necessarily produce that kind of blowback.† In addition, expelled blood resembles high velocity impact spatter.†
James had done an experiment to support his analysis.† He withdrew his own blood, put it into his mouth, and coughed against the same type of material from which the suspect's pants were made.† The droplets he produced were similar in size and shape to those found on the pants.† When questioned, he said that the velocity of his cough would have been similar to that of Robert Perry.
In further support of suicide, Craig claimed that he had no motive to kill his uncle.† †The man had no money, and Craig loved him like a father.† In fact, after his own father had died, his uncle had raised him.† Medical records indicated that Robert's illness had grown worse, and his home nurse reported that he had rejected traditional cancer treatment. Two days before he died, he had coughed up blood and gone to the hospital, where doctors were unable to do anything for him.†
Hours before Robert died, Carol Flynn called the hospital to report that he was having trouble breathing.† †That same day, she had called 911 to say he had shot himself.†
Another witness said that Robert was predominantly left-handed, but had used his right hand to shoot.† A neighbor and a hunting companion agreed that he was ambidextrous.† Both of these witnesses had heard Robert speak about committing suicide.
Numerous character witnesses testified that Craig was a peaceful man who had loved his uncle and would not have shot anyone.† He paid for all his uncle's expenses and took care of his needs, from feeding him to getting him into bed.† There was no evidence that he considered his charge a burden.† A nurse said that Craig had remained positive that Robert might survive, despite the poor prognosis.
In support of the homicide theory, there was testimony that, while Robert had grown worse, he was taking simple medicines and resisting making discussions about his will.† †He got angry with his nurse and told her, "You already have me in the grave," an indication that he was fierce about living.† Police found a newspaper article about assisted suicide in a suitcase, along with power of attorney documents.†
Also, when police had asked Craig Perry to leave the trailer on the day of the incident so they could investigate, he yelled, "You think I killed him, don't you!"† Then after being confronted with the blood analysis evidence, Craig changed his statement about hearing two pops to hearing one and then running to the bedroom—presumably to imply that he arrived in time for the second shot.
A witness also testified that when she found the second cartridge under the playing cards, Craig threw it away, saying the police must not need it.
Clearly, the crime scene was poorly processed.† Overlooking a cartridge near the body and declining to do any gun shot residue analysis, which may have resolved many questions, cloud the issue.
On June 25, 2004, after two days of deliberations, the jury announced its decision: Craig Perry was acquitted of killing his uncle.† Even the blood spatter evidence was ambiguous enough to allow for reasonable doubt.

Shortname: wtf-8
Status: LS
Boilerplate: omit feedback-header
!Issue tracking: On GitHub

!Last updated: [DATE]
Editor: Simon Sapin, Mozilla https://www.mozilla.org/, https://exyr.org/
Abstract: WTF-8 (Wobbly Transformation Format − 8-bit) is a superset of UTF-8 that encodes surrogate code points if they are not in a pair. It represents, in a way compatible with UTF-8, text from systems such as JavaScript and Windows that use UTF-16 internally but don’t enforce the well-formedness invariant that surrogates must be paired.
Intended audience
WTF-8 is a hack intended to be used internally in self-contained systems
with components that need to support potentially ill-formed UTF-16
for legacy reasons.
Any WTF-8 data must be converted
to a Unicode encoding at the system’s boundary
before being emitted.
UTF-8 is recommended.
WTF-8must not be used to represent text
in a file format or for transmission over the Internet.
In particular,
the Encoding Standard [[ENCODING]]
defines UTF-8 and other encodings for the Web.
There is no and will not be any
encoding label [[ENCODING]] or
IANA charset alias [[CHARSETS]]
for WTF-8.
Background and motivation
This section is non-normative.
When Unicode 1.0
was published in 1991,
it defined 65536 code points from U+0000 to U+FFFF
and assigned characters to around half of them.
Many software implementations chose the obvious memory representation
for Unicode text of 16 bits per code point / character.
At the time, “Unicode” was synonymous with that particular encoding.
To disambiguate, that encoding is now called UCS-2.
As subsequent versions of Unicode assigned more characters,
it became apparent that 65536 code points would not be sufficient.
Unicode was extended to 1114112 code points from U+0000 to U+10FFFF,
and the UTF-16 encoding was introduced.
This encoding preserves compatibility with existing 16-bit based systems
and represents new (supplementary) code points
as a pair of “surrogates”.
UTF-16 is designed to represent any Unicode text,
but it can not represent a surrogate code point pair
since the corresponding surrogate 16-bit code unit pairs
would instead represent a supplementary code point.
Therefore, the concept of Unicode scalar value was introduced
and Unicode text was restricted to not contain any surrogate code point.
(This was presumably deemed simpler that only restricting pairs.)
UTF-16 was redefined to be ill-formed
if it contains unpaired surrogate 16-bit code units.
UTF-8 was similarly redefined to be ill-formed
if it contains surrogate byte sequences.
Meanwhile, 16-bit based systems had little to no incentive
to do anything about surrogates:
For several years,
Unicode did not assign any character to supplementary code points,
and then (until emoji) only comparatively rare characters.
Additionally, the Unicode Standard does not require conforming implementations
to maintain well-formedness of UTF-16 strings.
As a result, surrogates do occur in practice and need to be preserved.
For example:
In ECMAScript (a.k.a. JavaScript),
a String value
is defined as a sequence of 16-bit integers
that usually represents UTF-16 text
but may or may not be well-formed.
The replacement character is the code point U+FFFD
REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (�).
It is used as a substitute to replace ill-formed sub-sequences
during a conversion.
A 16-bit code unit is a 16-bit integer used in UTF-16.
It is noted with a “0x” prefix and four hexadecimal digits:
the first and last 16-bit code units are 0x0000 and 0xFFFF.
Note: The byte serialization or memory representation of a 16-bit code unit
(little-endian or big-endian)
is out of scope for this specification.
When an algorithm iterates over a sequence (“For every i in …”),
consuming the next item means advancing in the sequence
such that that item will be skipped during the following iteration of the loop:
the item after the next becomes the next item.
The following algorithm prints “1”, “2”, and “4”.
For every digit i in “1234”, run these substeps:
Note: If the input is restricted to Unicode text,
this is identical to encoding to UTF-16
and the resulting sequence is well-formed in UTF-16.
If, on the other hand, the input contains a surrogate code point pair,
the conversion will be incorrect and
the resulting sequence will not represent the original code points.
This situation should be considered an error,
but this specification does not define how to handle it.
Possibilities include aborting the conversion,
or replacing one of the surrogate code points of the pair
with a replacement character.
For the purpose of this specification,
generalized UTF-8 is an encoding of sequences of code points
(not restricted to Unicode scalar values)
using 8-bit bytes,
based on the same underlying algorithm as UTF-8.
It is a strict superset of UTF-8
(like UTF-8 is a strict superset of ASCII).
Each code point is encoded as a sequence of one to four bytes:
Table 2. Bit distribution
Bytes noted in binary, most significant bit first.
x bits represent the least significant bits of the code points.
Let B2 be the next byte and consume it.
Append to result a code point of value
((B & 0x1F) << 6) +
(B2 & 0x3F)
0xE0 to 0xEF
Let B2 and B3 be the next two bytes,
and consume them.
Append to result a code point of value
((B & 0x0F) << 12) +
((B2 & 0x3F) << 6) +
(B3 & 0x3F)
0xF0 to 0xF4
Let B2, B3, and B4 be the next three bytes,
and consume them.
Append to result a code point of value
((B & 0x07) << 18) +
((B2 & 0x3F) << 12) +
((B3 & 0x3F) << 6) +
(B4 & 0x3F)
Note: This conversion never fails
and, if the input is well-formed in WTF-8, is lossless.
Converting between WTF-8 and UTF-8
Since WTF-8 is a superset of UTF-8,
any sequence of byte that is well-formed in UTF-8
is also well-formed in WTF-8 and represents the same text.
To convert from UTF-8 to WTF-8,
return the input unchanged.
Note: This conversion never fails and is lossless.
To convert lossily from WTF-8 to UTF-8,
replace any surrogate byte sequence
with the sequence of three bytes <0xEF, 0xBF, 0xBD>,
the UTF-8 encoding of the replacement character.
Note: Since surrogate byte sequences are also three bytes long,
this conversion can be done in place.
Note: This conversion never fails but is lossy.
To convert strictly from WTF-8 to UTF-8, run these steps:
On Windows (which uses potentially ill-formed UTF-16 in its APIs),
the Rust standard library
uses WTF-8
internally for OS strings,
but does not expose the WTF-8 byte sequences.

Welcome !
RunOrg is a database that stores information about [People](/people.htm)
and their interactions with you and with each other. It is designed for
access over HTTPS: rather than letting it sit behind your application
server, you can let your users [Authenticate](auth.htm) and interact
with the database directly—RunOrg will restrict the actions of
every user based on their identity, according to your [Access](/access.htm)
rules.
Among other things, you can:
- Let people write [Posts](/posts.htm), which can be standalone messages,
replies to other messages or comments on arbitrary objects both inside
and outside RunOrg.
- Create [Forms](/forms.htm) and ask people to fill them. RunOrg computes
statistics for you.
- Send [Mail](/mail.htm). RunOrg lets you track which are opened and
includes links that authenticate recipients that click on it.
Some actions you can perform involve individual people, while others
involve [Groups](/groups.htm) of people.
All of this happens inside a [Database](/database.htm), and a single RunOrg
server can host several independent databases.

Pre-virtualization had a number of problems
Virtualization changed the game as they allowed to almost eliminate the virtual OS.
There are 2 distinct parts
docker client
- you interact with this layer, typically via CLI appsdocker daemon
- the background process which powers the containers. We don't talk to this directly, but only via the docker client
.Typically, the docker client and daemon run on the same machine, but it is possible from the client to connect to a remote daemon.
Images are read-only templates composed by stacking up other images. They are hosted on docker registry.
Containers is an instance of an image.
Registry is where we store our images. You can host this yourself or use Docker's public registry called DockerHub
. Repositories are repos within the registry where images of a particular type are stored.
Docker Hub - is a public registry. Official repos are encouraged to be used as they are vetted by Docker and ensure they get security updates frequently. Generally, user created repos have a prefixing username/repo_name/image_name
. Usually, tags
are used to specify docker versions.
docker images
docker run busybox:1.23 echo "hello world"
which is of syntax docker run image <command to run on image> <argument for command>
On running this, Docker will try to find the image locally, if not found, will download from docker hub and run. Example output below:open-geo [master] $ docker run busybox:latest echo "hello atma"
Unable to find image 'busybox:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from library/busybox
697743189b6d: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:061ca9704a714ee3e8b80523ec720c64f6209ad3f97c0ff7cb9ec7d19f15149f
Status: Downloaded newer image for busybox:latest
hello atma
open-geo [master] $
docker run busybox:latest ls /
-i
, -t
commands for interactive, TTY mode.docker run -i -t busybox:latest
. You can exit by typing exit
The default mode is to run in foreground. Docker will start the process in container, attaches the console to this process' std output. You terminate the process and the connection together. When running, the terminal cannot be used for other things.
Background / detached mode on the other hand can be stared with -d
flag. The container is killed when the root process of container terminates. You can use the terminal to do other things while the container is running.
docker run -d busybox:latest sleep 100
will run it in background mode.docker ps
command. Add the -a
to list all containers that are stopped as well.docker run --rm
option. The container is removed after it is run.docker rm <name of container>
.docker run --name <custom_name> <commands>
. Then you can verify this using docker ps -a
command.docker logs <container_name_or_id>
to view the logs.Use inspect to display low level information about a container or image.
docker inspect <container_id>
or docker inspect <conatiner_name>
We can expose a port on the container and map that to port on host using -p
option. For instance: docker run -it -p 8888:8080 tomcat:8.0
will run tomcat and map its 8888
port to the default 80
port on host.
A docker image is built as a list of read-only layers. At the bottom is a base layer on which other docker images or custom apps are installed. You can see all the layers of an image using docker history <image name:tag>
command.
When a new container is instantiated, a new editable, writable (container) layer is added on top of this read-only image layers. Thus when container is deleted, all changes are lost and the image remains unchanged. Thus different containers instantiated from same image can have different data states emanating from their thin, editable layers.
There are 2 ways of building an image
Dockerfile
.Here we make changes to the container, typically running it in interactive mode. Then after exiting the container (container can be stopped at this point), we call docker commit <container name or id> <username/image_name:tag>
. Thus in this ex for example, I did the following
docker run -it debian:jessie
which downloads and runs debian OS in interactive modeapt-get update && apt-get install -y git
to install GITdocker commit hopeful_ellis atmamani/debian:0.1
docker images
will report the atmamani/debian
image.docker history atmamani/debian:0.1
lists the changes I made. Note, it only states modification as bash, meaning it was a bash command, but not what the command is.Dockerfile
Dockerfile is a text based manifest. The file should not have any extension and must start with a capital D
. Below is a sample Dockerfile
FROM debain:jessie
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y git
RUN apt-get install -y vim
Then build it using command docker build -t <username/imagename:tag> <buildcontext>
The build context here needs path to the dockerfile on disk. You can also use the build context to package up additional files into the docker image. Docker daemon will create a tarball of these files, send it to the contain, unpack. So I ran docker build -t atmamani/debian:frmdckfile .
from the folder containing the Dockerfile.
Once built, you can inspect the history and now it reports it correctly:
docker-trials $ docker history atmamani/debian:frmdckfile
IMAGE CREATED CREATED BY SIZE COMMENT
a9d62a3217ae 25 seconds ago /bin/sh -c apt-get install -y vim 29.7MB
a4c2ad02f957 39 seconds ago /bin/sh -c apt-get install -y git 85MB
cdfcdde0ccab About a minute ago /bin/sh -c apt-get update 10.3MB

<missing> 8 days ago /bin/sh -c #(nop) ADD file:e044496893d9e2cbf… 129MB
docker-trials $
One aspect is to reduce the number of layers a docker image has. Each line in the Dockerfile corresponds to a layer. Thus chaining the lines into a single line will reduce this to 1 layer. For instance, the earlier Dockerfile can be trimmed to
FROM debian:jessie
RUN apt-get update && apt-get instal -y git vim
We can bake commands to be run when a container starts up from an image. The preferred way is to use exec
commands, an alternate is to specify bash
commands. We prefix such with CMD
keyword. If you do not specify a CMD, the default is to bring up bash
.
FROM debian:jessie
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
git \
python \
vim
CMD ["echo", "helllo world"]
When a container is created, it runs this helllo world
with a typo. You can also modify this at runtime, by specifying docker run <image_name> <commands> <arguments>
such as docker run atmamani/echoer echo hello hello
.
FROM debian:jessie
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
git \
python \
vim
COPY ./abc.txt /tmp/abc.txt
The above will copy abc.txt
from local dir into the tmp
dir of the image. This will be available for all containers spun up from this image.
Some people say don't use latest
tag, instead use a real SEMVER version. To tag an image before pushing to hub or production, you need to tag it appropriately. docker tag <image name> <reponame/newname:tag>
Thus, docker tag atmamani/debian:frmdckfile atmamani/debian:0.2
Then push using docker push <imagename>
as docker push atmamani/debian:0.2
Download the repo using git clone -b v0.1 https://github.com/jleetutorial/dockerapp.git
. Then build the docker image using docker build -t tut-dockerapp:v0.1 .
Run the container as docker run -d -p 5000:5000 tut-dockerapp:v0.1
this spins up the container and maps the port. You can use the web app at localhost:5000
. If for some reason, this is not available or unknown, you can find the IP address of the docker using docker-machine ls
or find which port is mapped using docker ps
.
To step into a running container, use docker exec -it <cont name or id> <command>
, such as docker exec -it keen_noyce bash
. The -i
flag makes it interactive. To see the running process within the container do ps axu
from within the home
directory:
dockerapp [(no branch)] $ docker exec -it keen_noyce bash
admin@dd29aef6445a:/app$ cd ~
admin@dd29aef6445a:~$ ps axu
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
admin 1 0.0 1.2<PHONE_NUMBER>0 ? Ss 19:33 0:00 python app.py
admin 17 0.1 0.1 19964 3680 pts/0 Ss 19:47 0:00 bash
admin 24 0.0 0.1 38380 3216 pts/0 R+ 19:47 0:00 ps axu
admin@dd29aef6445a:~$
To exit out of the container's bash, type exit
. To stop the container running as daemon, type docker stop <container_name>
.
redis
redis
is a message broker, inmemory cache, db service that is containerized. We need a redis Python client.
docker-compose.yml
is a YAML file. Verison 3 is up to date. You start with a version number. Then specify the services that needs to be run. The dockerapp
contains the main, user facing app, the depends_on
contains all other microservices that need to be spun up and the order in which they need to be spun up.
A sample looks like:
verison: '3'
services:
dockerapp:
build: .
ports:
- "5000:5000"
depends_on:
- redis
redis:
image: redis:3.2.0
To build and run using docker compose, run docker-compose up -d
from dir that contains the yaml file. Once done, you can run docker ps
to see the containers created and being run.
To rebuild a docker compose, you may have to force it if are changing just the python stack. To force rebuild use docker-compose build
.

the boost, the higher the chance of false positive recognition as well.
Negative boost values would correspond to anti-biasing. Anti-biasing is not
enabled, so negative boost will simply be ignored. Though `boost` can
accept a wide range of positive values, most use cases are best served with
values between 0 and 20. We recommend using a binary search approach to

An auction is an economic mechanism whose purpose is the purchase, sale, or allocation of goods and the formation of prices for those goods via some competitive process like bidding. There are the four major types of auctions:
An ascending price auction where the bid price keeps increasing starting from a reserve price till no bidder can match the highest standing bid.
A descending price auction where the auctioneer begins with a high asking price. The price decreases until one bidder is willing to pay the quoted price.
A sealed bid first price auction is where bidders submit sealed bids and the highest bidder wins and pays his bid.
Vickrey is a sealed bid second price auction where bidders submit sealed bids and the highest bidder wins and pays the amount of the second highest bid.
An online auction without central intermediaries conducted over smart contracts using blockchain's immutable tamper-resistane ledger makes the auctioning processes transparent.
Using audited and tested smart contracts based on Michelson (which facilitates formal verification) makes the entire platform foolproof and secure, so that malicious and selfish peers cannot cheat.
Because of the high throughput provided by the Tezos blockchain, auctions can be created, customised, and executed in a jiffy.
By eliminating the need for central intermediaries to conduct and manage the auctions, it lowers the cost of auctioning and enables fair price development.

RONIN (1998) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1998 Ted Prigge
Director: John Frankenheimer Writers: J.D. Zeik and Richard Weisz (story by Zeik) Starring: Robert DeNiro, Jean Reno, Natascha McElhone, Stellan Skarsgård, Jonathan Pryce, Skipp Suddeth, Sean Bean, Michel Lonsdale, Katarina Witt
"Ronin" is the latest spy/secret agent film, and it's nicely original that it deals with secret agents who have no national affiliate(s). The title "Ronin" refers to a Japanese term referring to Samurai who have lost their leader, and are therefore supposed to roam the world trying to avenge their leader's death. Not one character in this film aren't Japanese, but are in fact an international group of secret agents who have lost all connection to their countries and are now ready to sell themselves to the highest bidder.
There are five Ronin members in this film: Sam (Robert DeNiro), the leader-type and an ex-CIA opperative; Vincent (Jean Reno), a Frenchman; Gregor (Stellan Skarsgård), a Russian computer-expert; Larry (Skipp Suddeth), an expert car-driver; and Spence (Sean Bean), an unexperienced British arms-man. As the film begins, they are all working on a job for a mysterious man whom they don't meet at first (Jonathan Pryce), but who is represented by an Irish tough-as-nails opperative, Dierdre (Natascha McElhone).
The running gag, of course, is that they don't know eachother and have no ties to anyone but themselves. Each character is cloaked in mystery, even from the viewer, and since nothing short of short sentences are said about their past (When asked why she became a secret agent, Dierdre says she was "tricked by a man." Weirdly enough, the same goes for Sam), all you can tell about each character is from the way they talk and act in the beginning of the film, in a long and drawn-out sequence that acts like it's going to be an introduction to their activities and instead ends up being an introduction to their personalities.
Their job, as charged by Dierdre, is to steal a much-coveted metal suitcase from a French billionaire of sorts who has it in his possession, but is desired by several countries, namely Ireland and Russia. Like the suitcase in "Pulp Fiction," it's contents are never revealed, but as the film proceeds, it's passed from person to person, and from country to country, all the while being pursued by the Ronin members, or what's left of them as the film proceeds.
It's a lot like many other espionnage thrillers, what with it's overly-complex story, cliched use of betrayals, and its insistence to follow up several of the twists with car chases. On the other hand, the story is exciting and always in motion; not too many dull or wasted moments here. The betrayals are nicely done, as the characters are always interesting yet mysterious so that you at least have someone to really like or really hate when they come to pass. And the car chases, namely two of them, are so amazingly exciting that even if you feel that they're unnecessary (and at least one of them is), you can't help but get caught up in them.
The film was directed by old school director John Frankenheimer, a man who's had a sad up-and-down career, with ups such as "The Manchurian Candidate" and "Seven Days in May," and downs such as, well, 1996's "The Island of Dr. Moreau." Here, he directs with visual flair. Every scene is tensely directed, and difficult not to watch. He allows his actors to really show their talents in small bits of human comedy. And most notably, his direction of the two chief car chases are so well-done that they almost, almost rank up there with the likes of the ones in "Bullit" and "The French Connection." They are taut, exciting, and brilliantly edited, especially with several shots taken from the point of view of the cars, which are usually going about 80 miles per hour and either on packed highways or car-less European streets. When watching them, I had one thing to say: "Wow!"
The actors are all in top form, especially Robert DeNiro, who doesn't just play the silent-but-tough character; his Sam is a witty, human character, and DeNiro hits every single right note in his performance. Other great performances come from Reno, who's becoming more and more comfortable with the camera with every performance; McElhone, who's tough and cold, almost lovably so; Skarsgård, who's dryness is almost unerrving; and Pryce, who sinks his teeth into a role that you just can't believe is this over-the-top.
One other major reason this works so well is a script that is excellent, and with a good reason: it was co-written by none other than David Mamet, who appears under the psuedonym of Richard Weisz. The dialogue is key Mamet: it has rhythm, it's witty, and it exhibits each of the character's idiosyncrasies deftly. The scenes are surprisingly uncorny, especially a couple of the shake-down scenes (a scene between one character and Skarsgård in a car is just amazing). Just goes to prove that a script by Mamet can really benefit any film.
But it's really the little moments that push the envolope for "Ronin" and make it much better than your average secret agent thriller. Some scenes that are played for either plot or moodiness really have some nice payoffs, in particular one where DeNiro and McElhone try to spy on the French billionaire with the suitcase.  Little moments are often the things that really make a film enjoyable - could "Good Will Hunting" have been a really good movie if it hadn't had the "Do you like apples?" moment? - and when this film takes off, it's not because of the mechanics of the plot, but those moments that just thrill us in one way or another.
"Ronin" could be called a bit of a mess, though, and it can be called confusing. The plot is very mechanical, and it jumps around so much that it may be a little disorienting to try and shuffle things out and come to a conclusion. But "Ronin" is not about plot. It's about the experience and thrill of espionnage. When what's left with the Ronin group keeps trying to get back the suitcase long after any reason would be justifiable, the only thing that keeps them going, really, is not honor or pride, but just a mad desire to do the job they love. That's what keeps the audience going when the plot has become so complex that it's tough to understand everything that has happened: they're just having such a good time.
Frankenheimer has really made a soon-to-be classic with "Ronin." It's exciting, intelligent, fun, as if it were a non-serious adaptation of a Tom Clancy novel, although with some Irish and Russian politics thrown in for good reason. What can you say about a film that features performances from not one, not two, but three Bond villains (them being Michael Lonsdale, Sean Bean, and Jonathan Pryce) other than "wow."

GeoNode is a geospatial content management system, a platform for the management and publication of
geospatial data. It brings together mature and stable open-source software projects under a consistent
and easy-to-use interface allowing non-specialized users to share data and create interactive maps.
Data management tools built into GeoNode allow for integrated creation of data, metadata, and map
visualizations. Each dataset in the system can be shared publicly or restricted to allow access to
only specific users. Social features like user profiles and commenting and rating systems allow for the
development of communities around each platform to facilitate the use, management, and quality control
of the data the GeoNode instance contains.
It is also designed to be a flexible platform that software developers can extend, modify or integrate
against to meet requirements in their own applications.
GeoNode allows the user to upload vector (currently only Shapefiles) and raster data in their original
projections using a web form. Vector data is uploaded in ESRI Shapefile format and satellite imagery
and other kinds of raster data are uploaded as GeoTIFFs.
Special importance is given to standard metadata formats like ISO 19139:2007. After the upload is finished,
the user is presented with a form to fill in the metadata and it is made available using a CSW interface.
Users may also upload a metadata XML document (in ISO, FGDC, or Dublin Core format) to fill in key GeoNode
metadata elements automatically.
Similarly, GeoNode provides a web based styler, that lets the user change how the data looks and
preview the changes in real time.
Data mixing, maps creation
Once the data has been uploaded, GeoNode lets the user search for it geographically or via keywords and
create maps.
All the layers are automatically reprojected to web mercator for maps display, making it possible to use
different popular base layers, like Open Street Map, Google Satellite or Bing layers.
Once maps are saved, it is possible to embed them in any webpage or get a PDF version for printing.
GeoNode as a building block
Several other Open Source projects extend GeoNode’s functionality by tapping into the re-usability of
Django applications.

Embedded System
Unit-1
Introduction
What is embedded system?
An embedded system is some combination of computer hardware and software, either fixed in capability or programmable, that is designed for a specific function or for specific functions within a larger system. Industrial machines, agricultural and process industry devices, automobiles, medical equipment, cameras, household appliances, airplanes, vending machines and toys as well as mobile devices are all possible locations for an embedded system.
An embedded system has three components :−
• It has hardware.
• It has application software.
• It has Real Time Operating system (RTOS)
Advantages
• Easily Customizable
• Low power consumption
• Low cost
• Enhanced performance
Disadvantages:
• High development effort
• Larger time to market
Characteristics of an Embedded System
• Single-functioned :−
An embedded system usually performs a specialized operation and does the same repeatedly.
• Reactive and Real time :−
Many embedded systems must continually react to changes in the system's environment and must compute certain results in real time without any delay.
• Microprocessors based :−
It must be microprocessor or microcontroller based.
• Memory :−
It must have a memory, as its software usually embeds in ROM. It does not need any secondary memories in the computer.
• Connected :−
It must have connected peripherals to connect input and output devices.
• HW-SW systems :−
Software is used for more features and flexibility. Hardware is used for performance and security.
Types of Embedded system:
Embedded system can be classified into different types based on performance function requirement and performance of the microcontroller.
Real time embedded system :
An embedded system that gives an output within a specified amount of real time is called real time embedded system. That is in additional to a proper output it depends on time constant as well.
Stand Alone embedded system:
These are embedded system that can work by themselves. In other words they are self sufficient and don't required a different system to function. Music players, video gaming and microwave ovens are the examples of standalon system.
• Network embedded system:
Embedded system that are connected to the network & depends on it from their functionally are called network embedded system. Router home security system are network embedded system.
• Mobile embedded system
Embedded system that are mobile in nature are called mobile embedded system. They include generally small system. They are used in portable embedded devices like cell phones, mobile, digital camers, mp3 player and personal digital assistant.
Apllication of embedded system:
Here are some application area of embedded system:
• Consumer electronics:
Mobile phones , video games, printers, home entertainment system, television, digital camera, music player
• Household application:
Washing machine , diswashes, air conditioner, etc
• Medical equipment:
BLood pressure monitor, CET scanner, heart beat monitor, ECG machine, etc
• Automobiles
Anticlock breaking system, air conditionor control, electronic fuel, injections, entertainment systems
• Industrial system
Robotic machine, control system, smoke detector, fire detector, data collection system, system monitoring, feedback system
• Aerospace
Navigation system, guided system, global positioning system (GPS)
• Communication
Router, network hubs, phone, etc
Some Basic terms:
Chips :
Most digital electronic circuits today are built with semi conductor parts called chips. Chips are purchased from manufacturers specializing in building such parts. Semi-conductor themselves are enclosed in small thin square or rectangle black package made of plastics or ceramics. Each package made of plastics or ceramics. Each package have collection of pins and those pins are response for their own functions. Most digital circuit use just two voltage to do their work
– OVDC somtimes called ground or low input.
– Either 3V or 5V sometimes called VCC or high
The most common mechanism to connect the chips to one another is the printed circuit board.
Gates :
A very simple part built from a handful of semiconductor transistor is called gates or sometime discrete.
or
" A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit. Most logic gates have two inputs and one output. At any given moment , every terminal is in one of two binary conditions low (0) or high(1)."
# Types of Gates:
And gate:
An AND gate is one whose output is driven to high of both the input are high and in other conditions the output is driven to low
A B Y
0 0 0
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 1
OR gate:
An OR gate is one which output is high if either or both of the inputs are high. AND whose output is driven to low if only if both input are low.
A B Y
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 1
NOT/ INVERTER gate:
Inverter are the very simple gate i.e output driven to low if the input is high & vice- versa
I/O
1 0
0 1
Bubble:
The bubble or little loop on the invertor symbol is used in other schematic symbols to indicate that an input or an output is inverted that is loop when it should be high & vice versa
A Y
0 0
1 1
X-OR gate:
AN XOR gate is one whose output is driven high if one if the input is high & other input is low. And if both the input are high or low at that conditions the output is low, then it is called XOR gate.
A B Y
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 1
NAND gate:
NAND gate is not AND gate.
A B Y
0 0 1
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 0
Some Terminology:
Telegraph :
It is one of the example of embedded system that do the long-distance transmission of textual or symbolic (as opposed to verbal or audio) messages without the physical exchange of an object bearing the message. Telegraphy requires that the method used for encoding the message be known to both sender and receiver. Such methods are designed according to the limits of the signaling medium used.
– Telegraph must sort out on the network and provide the clean data stream to the printer.
– Telegraph has to work with a number of different types of a printers without customer configuration.
– Telegraph must respond quite rapidly to certain events.
– Telegraph must keep track of time
Cordless Bar-code scanner
A cordless barcode reader (or barcode scanner) is an embedded system (electronic device) that can read and output printed barcodes to a computer. Like a flatbed scanner, it consists of a light source, a lens and a light sensor translating optical impulses into electrical ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers contain decoder circuitry analyzing the barcode's image data provided by the sensor and sending the barcode's content to the scanner's output port.

Harnessing transient resources using Nemo
Mar 23, 2018 • John Yang
To increase datacenter utilization, data processing jobs are increasingly being deployed on transient resources temporarily borrowed from latency-critical jobs. However, these transient resources must be evicted whenever latency-critical jobs require them again. Resource evictions often lead to cascading recomputations that substantially degrade job performance.
Pado[1] is an optimization technique that reduces the number of recomputations triggered by eviction of transient resources. Specifically, Pado uses a placement algorithm for selectively retaining intermediate results on reserved resources that are not evicted.
Nemo provides an optimization policy interface that makes it easy for users to employ techniques like Pado to improve application performance. To demonstrate the flexibility of Nemo, we have developed and evaluated PadoPolicy. We summarize preliminary evaluation results as follows.
Experimentation setup
- Systems: Spark 2.2.0, Nemo with PadoPolicy
- Resources:
- m4.2xlarge AWS EC2 instances (8 vCPU, 32GB memory)
- 35 transient nodes, and 5 reserved nodes
- 5-minute mean poisson eviction rate for each transient node
- An evicted transient node is immediately replaced with a new transient node
- Dataset: 10GB Yahoo! music ratings dataset[2]
- Application: A machine learning recommendation algorithm - Alternating least squares (ALS)
- Spark MLlib ALS implementation for Spark, and our ALS implementation written in Beam for Nemo
Job completion time (JCT)
Spark was not able to complete the job even after running for 120 minutes, because it was stuck repeatedly recomputing intermediate results that are lost due to eviction. In contrast, Nemo completed in 18 minutes by selectively retaining intermediate results on reserved nodes using the Pado technique. This 6.7X speedup validates the flexibility of Nemo.

SETUP - Each player drops his
stone on an empty cell.
|
|
TURNS
- At each turn, each player must move his stone:
|
The stone moves similar to a chess Knight, but in two steps rather than one.
First it moves one (two) cell(s) in one direction, then two (one)
cell(s) orthogonally (hence each player has two moves per turn). |
|
All positions moved to or jumped over turn into an impenetrable barrier
for both players (i.e., they cannot be moved into or jumped over). |
|
|
GOAL - The stalemated player loses. |
