Q: Why doesn’t Curator work with AWS Elasticsearch?edit
A: Because Curator requires access to the /_cluster/state/metadata
endpoint.edit
AWS ES 5.3 officially supports Curator for index managment operations. AWS ES
5.5 exposes the /_snapshot/_status
endpoint Curator uses, and therefore only AWS ES
5.5 supports full snapshot operations. Older versions of AWS ES are not supported
by Curator versions 4 or 5.
There is some confusion because Curator 3 supported AWS ES, but Curator 4 & 5 do
not. Curator 4 & 5 require access to the /_cluster/state/metadata
endpoint in order
to pull metadata at IndexList initialization time for all indices. This
metadata is used to determine index routing information, index sizing, index
state (either open
or close
), aliases, and more. Curator 4 switched to
doing this in order to reduce the number of repetitive client calls that were
made in the previous versions. Curator 5 uses the same method.
This endpoint was not fully available in AWS ES until version 5.3. The /_snapshot/_status
endpoint was made available in AWS ES 5.5.

An and
Bn
can be computed by the fundamental recurrence formulas.
In practice, we compute zn
using the modified Lentz's method from Thompson and Barnett.
This method may suffer from the "false convergence" problem. That is,
differences between successive convergents become small,
seeming to indicate convergence,
but then increase again by many orders of magnitude before finally converging.

11 of the best Black Friday deals you can buy right now
by Jared DiPaneIt used to be that Black Friday deals were only available on Friday, but now it's turned into a month-long event that seems to get bigger and bigger each year. While some of the best deals may only be available on Black Friday, and door buster offerings may start as early as the evening of Thanksgiving Day, that doesn't mean that you can't already score some pretty wild deals right this very minute.
Retailers are trying to maximize exposure during this time of the year, which means that select items are going on sale ahead of the big day. You may be wondering if the prices will drop lower on Black Friday, or if it's worth shopping early, so let's answer some of your questions, and show you some of the best deals. We are currently just 14 days away from Black Friday, so it's time to get serious here.
Best Black Friday deals available right now!
| Product or Service | Deal Price |

| Meross Smart Garage Opener | $29 at Amazon |

Meross Smart Garage Door Opener
This open adds smarts to just about any and every garage door opener system that was installed after 1993. It gives you controls and alerts right from your phone, which is awesome.
Gravity Weighted Blanket
There are lots of benefits to weighted blankets, from keeping you warm to helping reducee some stress and make it easier to fall asleep. The Gravity Blanket is one of the best weighted blankets out there, but it comes with a hefty price tag in comparison to some of the other options. Today's one-day discount brings it down to the lowest price we have ever seen, and saves you nearly $90 on the purchase.
Gravity Weighted Blanket
It may still be a bit on the pricey side, but this is one of the only times this has ever been discounted, and it's quite a big saving so don't miss out.
IPVanish VPN Subscription
Things are not what they used to be, and unfortunately not everyone can be trusted. Whether you're browsing from home or at a cafe, doing it on an unsecured connection can be dangerous. VPNs have become more popular in the recent years, and there's a good reason for it. IPVanish is one of our favorite services, and thanks to its Black Friday pricing you can get protected for as little as $3.25 a month when you redeem coupon code CYBERDEAL19.
IPVanish VPN Subscription
A VPN is a smart choice these days, and you don't need to go broke to add the protection you deserve. Be sure to use coupon code CYBERDEAL19 to get the lowered monthly cost.
Amazon Echo Dot w/Clock + Smart Plug
This updated Dot was only released a few weeks ago but you can already make a killer saving on it. Amazon is offering a bundle with a free smart plug, or you can grab it with a smart bulb instead for just $5 more. This looks just like the 3rd-gen Echo Dot did, with the exception of the built-in LED clock that shows you the time. It's great for night stands, desks, and more.
Amazon Echo Dot w/Clock + Smart Plug
This is the newest Echo Dot from Amazon, and it's already down to its best price yet. There's a minor shipping delay, so get your order in now!
Amazon Music Unlimited
Ahead of the big Black Friday push, Amazon has discounted its own Music Unlimited streaming service. You can get four months of access, which includes millions of songs that you can access anywhere using an app on your phone or tablet, for just $1. This saves you about $39 compared to the regular price, and makes it a no-brainer choice. It's 25 cents a month, how can you pass that up?
Amazon Music Unlimited
It's four months of access for just $1. It includes millions of songs, hands-free listening with Alexa, and more.
Mint Mobile
Mint Mobile has already kicked off its Black Friday promotion, and it's one of the best carrier deals we will see this month. The carrier is offering 12GB of data for just $15 a month, but you need to prepay for 3 months. That means you pay $45 to get three months of service, after which it renews at regular pricing.
Mint Mobile
This promo scores you the biggest data allotment that Mint offers at the lowest price we've seen. Don't miss out.
Apple AirPods Pro
Black Friday is sure to bring lots of deals to the AirPods lineup, but one of the best is here right now. The recently-released AirPods Pro are already discounted at Amazon, which is a bit rare. We don't see many discounts on new Apple products, but that's not stopping these from being on sale. There is a shipping delay to make note of, though it's likely that Amazon will have stock available earlier than what's advertised.
AirPods Pro
These are the newest addition to the AirPods lineup, and you can already save $14 on the purchase. There is a shipping delay, but the savings may be worth it.
Amazon Echo Show 8
Though only released a little over a month ago, Amazon's all-new Echo Show 8 instantly became the best Echo Show of the bunch. Sitting between the Echo Show 5 and the original Echo Show in both size and price, today the decision of which to pick is even easier than usual thanks to a $30 discount on the Echo Show 8 bringing its cost down to just $99.99. This is the first discount to reach this new device, and there's no telling how long it might stick around. It normally sells for $130.
Amazon Echo Show 8
The all-new Echo Show 8 is equipped with an 8-inch HD display and Amazon Alexa's voice assistant which will keep you up to date on the latest news and weather announcements. You can even control other smart home devices, watch TV, and more.
Roborock S5 Robotic Vacuum
The holidays are busy enough, so why not outsource a bit of your cleaning to something else? This robot vacuum uses smart navigation to map our your home and intelligently plan routes to ensure it cleans it all. You can use the free Roborock smartphone app to monitor its progress, set schedules, and much more for it. Be sure to apply coupon code ROBOROCKBF to get the full savings here.
Roborock S5 Robot Vacuum
You'll need to use coupon code ROBOROCKBF to get the savings here. It's currently selling for $130 less than its regular price, so don't miss out.
Kindle Unlimited
Kindle Unlimited gives you access to over a million titles, spanning from technical documents to cookbooks to fantasy novels to nonfiction. Even some audiobooks are included. Need a self-help book? Want to re-read the Harry Potter books for the seventeenth time? It's all there, and it's all free with your membership. You don't need a Kindle or Fire tablet to read, either. Amazon makes it easy to read thanks to its free Kindle reading apps for iOS, Android, PC, and Mac.
 Unlike previous deals, you don't have to be a Prime member to take advantage of this offer, and it's open to returning customers as well.
SiriusXM Essential 1-Month Subscription
This one doesn't cost you anything, which makes it the best kind of deal. Right now, Sirius is offering a one-month free trial of its Essential Streaming Package, which allows you to listen to its service on your phone, PC, and more. Normally, it's $8 a month, and after the one free month that's how much it will renew at. You get access to 300 channels, which have a mix of music, comedy, talk radio, and more.
SiriusXM Essential 1-Month Subscription
Sign up now to get a free 30-day trial of the service. It renews at $8 per month and includes over 300 channels.
Should you shop pre-Black Friday deals?
The answer here is not cut and dry, but in most cases we would say yes. You should absolutely already be shopping sales, and picking up things as you see them on sale. Many retailers have already dropped the Black Friday sale ads, so you can easily compare the pricing listed there to what it's available for right now. If the prices match, click buy now. There is no benefit to waiting for Black Friday and risking the item selling out or forgetting to purchase it, and being stuck then paying full price.
Will Black Friday bring lower prices?
You may or may not find lower pricing than you see right now on Black Friday itself. Retailers don't show off every single item that will be available at a discount and list the price ahead of the event, unfortunately, which means you have to take a risk.
Where should you look for Black Friday deals?
When it comes to Black Friday, just about everyone under the sun will be offering discounts. If you want to keep your searches under control, we'd recommend keeping an eye on Amazon's Black Friday offerings, along with deals at Best Buy and don't forget to check out Walmart during your pricing comparisons. These retailers offer a wide variety of product assortment, and will honestly all probably be price matching eachother during the lead up to Black Friday and on the big day.

BANASURA SAGAR DAM
Banasura Sagar dam across the Karamanathodu River, a tributary of River Kabini, in Kalpetta, is considered to be the largest earth dam in India and the second largest in Asia. The dam is ideally placed in the foothills of Banasura hills, which got its name from 'Banasura', the son of King Mahabali, the famous ruler of Kerala. It is said that 'Banasura' undertook severe penance on the top of the hills. Banasura hill is the third largest peak in the Western Ghats. The dam here was constructed on behalf of the Banasurasagar project in 1979, to support the Kakkayam Hydroelectric power project to meet the water demand for irrigation and drinking purposes. The dam, located around 21 km away from Kalpetta is a beautiful tourist destination in Wayanad. Banasura dam is made up of massive stacks of stones and boulders. One of the beautiful sights here is the set of islands in the dam's reservoir, which was formed when the reservoir submerged the surrounding areas during monsoon season. These islands with the Banasura hills in the background are a visual treat for those who visit the dam and its premises. Because of this peculiarity, tourists are attracted towards this destination. The dam is very close to Karalad Lake, another tourist hotspot in Wayanad. At Banasura Sagar dam, you can engage yourself in trekking and boating. Trekking is one of the top attractions here. You can plan a trek to the dark forests of Banasura Peak. A boating trip in the lake and the dam is also a unique experience for the travellers. You can choose either speed boat or pedal boat. You can also plan a trip to the small nature park, very near to the boating place. This park with its traditional tree swings will provide cheerful moments for kids. The best season to be at Banasura Sagar dam is from November to May. You can also plan a visit to temples like Shri Ayyappa Mandir, Shri Nath Mandir, Nirur Shiva Mandir very near to Banasura Sagar Dam.

2 0.13957612 341 andrew gelman stats-2010-10-14-Confusion about continuous probability densities
Introduction: I had the following email exchange with a reader of Bayesian Data Analysis. My correspondent wrote: Exercise 1(b) involves evaluating the normal pdf at a single point. But p(Y=y|mu,sigma) = 0 (and is not simply N(y|mu,sigma)), since the normal distribution is continuous. So it seems that part (b) of the exercise is inappropriate. The solution does actually evaluate the probability as the value of the pdf at the single point, which is wrong. The probabilities should all be 0, so the answer to (b) is undefined. I replied: The pdf is the probability density function, which for a continuous distribution is defined as the derivative of the cumulative density function. The notation in BDA is rigorous but we do not spell out all the details, so I can see how confusion is possible. My correspondent: I agree that the pdf is the derivative of the cdf. But to compute P(a .lt. Y .lt. b) for a continuous distribution (with support in the real line) requires integrating over t

For this, I need your cooperation. The campaign is quite diverse and large scale and if you take some time to understand it – it will benefit us. First I want to clarify that I do not want “blogroll” ”footer” or any other type of “site wide links”. Secondly I want links from inner pages of site – with good page rank of course. Third links should be within text so that Google may not mark them as spam – not for you and not for me. Hence this link building will cause almost no harm to your site or me. Because content links are fine with Google. Now I should come to the requirements. I will accept links from Page Rank 3 to as high as you have got. Also kindly note that I can buy 1 to 50 links from one site – so you should understand the scale of the project. If you have multiple sites with co

Introduction: I received the following email the other day (well, actually it was the other month, as we’re still on blog-delay): Dear Prof. Andrew Gelman, The ** Broadcasting Authority, together with ** – a well-established production company, are producing a documentary about Freud. The documentary presents different points of view regarding Freud’s personality and theories. At this stage of the production we are mainly interested in views regarding the influence Freud / Freudism / Psychoanalysis have on our culture – whether positive or negative. We are addressing the effect Freud and/or analysis left on the culture regarding morality, the law system, therapy, art, consumerism, films, etc. We would like to interview you on your point of view regarding Freud’s mark on humanity in regard to the Economy. Once you respond favorably we can proceed and precisely define the topics of the talk. The shooting in NYC is on May 27th and should not demand more than one hour of your time. We’ll app

Introduction: I was pleasantly surprised to have my recreational reading about baseball in the New Yorker interrupted by a digression on statistics. Sam Fuld of the Tampa Bay Rays, was the subjet of a Ben McGrath profile in the 4 July 2011 issue of the New Yorker , in an article titled Super Sam . After quoting a minor-league trainer who described Fuld as “a bit of a geek” (who isn’t these days?), McGrath gets into that lovely New Yorker detail: One could have pointed out the more persuasive and telling examples, such as the fact that in 2005, after his first pro season, with the Class-A Peoria Chiefs, Fuld applied for a fall internship with Stats, Inc., the research firm that supplies broadcasters with much of the data anad analysis that you hear in sports telecasts. After a description of what they had him doing, reviewing footage of games and cataloguing, he said “I thought, They have a stat for everything, but they don’t have any stats regarding foul balls.” Fuld’s

Introduction: How am I supposed to handle this sort of thing? (See below.) I just stuck it one of my email folders without responding, but then I wondered . . . what’s it all about? Is there some sort of Glengarry Glen Ross-like parallel world where down-on-their-luck Jack Lemmons of public relations world send out electronic cold calls? More than anything else, this sort of thing makes me glad I have a steady job. Here’s the (unsolicited) email, which came with the subject line “Please help a reporter do his job”: Dear Andrew, As an Editor for the Bulldog Reporter (www.bulldogreporter.com/dailydog), a media relations trade publication, my job is to help ensure that my readers have accurate info about you and send you the best quality pitches.

Introduction: Someone passed on to a message from his university library announcing that the journal “Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Computational Statistics” is no longer free. Librarians have to decide what to do, so I thought I’d offer the following consumer guide: Wiley Computational Statistics journal Wikipedia Frequency 6 issues per year Continuously updated Includes articles from Wikipedia? Yes Yes Cites the Wikipedia sources it uses? No Yes Edited by recipient of ASA Founders Award? Yes No Articles are subject to rigorous review? No Yes Errors, when discovered, get fixed? No Yes Number of vertices in n-dimensional hypercube? 2n 2 n Easy access to Brady Bunch trivia? No Yes Cost (North America) $1400-$2800 $0 Cost (UK) £986-£1972 £0 Cost (Europe) €1213-€2426 €0 The choice seems pretty clear to me! It’s funny for the Wiley journal to start charging now
4 0.91428041 134 andrew gelman stats-2010-07-08-“What do you think about curved lines connecting discrete data-points?”
Introduction: John Keltz writes: What do you think about curved lines connecting discrete data-points? (For example, here .) The problem with the smoothed graph is it seems to imply that something is going on in between the discrete data points, which is false. However, the straight-line version isn’t representing actual events either- it is just helping the eye connect each point. So maybe the curved version is also just helping the eye connect each point, and looks better doing it. In my own work (value-added modeling of achievement test scores) I use straight lines, but I guess I am not too bothered when people use smoothing. I’d appreciate your input. Regular readers will be unsurprised that, yes, I have an opinion on this one, and that this opinion is connected to some more general ideas about statistical graphics. In general I’m not a fan of the curved lines. They’re ok, but I don’t really see the point. I can connect the dots just fine without the curves. The more general id
5 0.90933192 1472 andrew gelman stats-2012-08-28-Migrating from dot to underscore
Introduction: My C-oriented Stan collaborators have convinced me to use underscore (_) rather than dot (.) as much as possible in expressions in R. For example, I can name a variable n_years rather than n.years. This is fine. But I’m getting annoyed because I need to press the shift key every time I type the underscore. What do people do about this? I know that it’s easy enough to reassign keys (I could, for example, assign underscore to backslash, which I never use). I’m just wondering what C programmers actually do. Do they reassign the key or do they just get used to pressing Shift? P.S. In comments, Ben Hyde points to Google’s R style guide, which recommends that variable names use dots, not underscore or camel case, for variable names (for example, “avg.clicks” rather than “avg_Clicks” or “avgClicks”). I think they’re recommending this to be consistent with R coding conventions . I am switching to underscores in R variable names to be consistent with C. Otherwise we were run

Implementing support for Web Push Encryption can be tricky as it involves a lot of steps. This tool will tell you the intermediate values based on the input keys, which should aid step-by-step debugging in case it's not working.
The keys and auth secret must either be base64url encoded or hex values. Public keys must be given as P-256 uncompressed EC points, and the private key must be given as ASN.1 PrivateKeyInfo.
Hellow :-) This isn't done yet.
A series of 65 bytes starting with 0x04 followed by two 32-byte points,
per SEC1 2.3.3. The format given by the
W3C Push API's PushSubscription.getKey()
method.
When using
Web Crypto, it can be derived by exporting the public key as JWK, then concatenating
[0x04, base64url_decode(jwk.x), base64url_decode(jwk.y)]
.
A series of at least ?? bytes per the PrivateKeyInfo definition in
RFC 5208. The format given by
the Web Crypto API when exporting a private P-256 key in

The lanner falcon (Falco biarmicus) is a medium-sized bird of prey that breeds in Africa, southeast Europe and just into Asia. It prefers open habitat and is mainly resident, but some birds disperse more widely after the breeding season.
Lanner falcons are diurnal meaning that they are active during the daylight hours. They live in pairs and often hunt in groups. Lanner falcons are fast and agile flyers and usually hunt by horizontal pursuit; they take mainly bird prey in flight.
Like most other falcons, the Lanner Falcon feeds mostly on birds – small and large – including larks, ducks, sandgrouse, poultry, doves, and even other small raptors.
THANK YOU

Provides 'uninformed' search algorithms. These do not make use of heuristics to guide the search. The following
algorithms can be found in this package:
- Depth first search.
- Depth bounded search. Searches up to a depth limit.
- Iterative deepening search. Searches depth first to an interatively increasing depth limit. This is a complete
search like breadth first search and only marginally slower than breadth first. It has the advantage over breadth
first that it does not need to keep a huge list of unexpanded nodes in memory so is much more space efficient
than breadth first.
- Uniform cost search. Follows the search node that has the lowest path cost. The boundary of the search will have a
roughly uniform cost.
- Cost bounded search. Searches up to a cost limit.
- Iterative cost increasing search. Searches using cost limits that increase in steps or to the next available level.


Playback Technology ("Tech")
Playback Technology refers to the specific browser or plugin technology used to play the video or audio. When using HTML5, the playback technology is the video or audio element. When using Flash, the playback technology is the specific Flash player used, e.g. Flowplayer, YouTube Player, video-js.swf, etc. (not just "Flash"). This could also include Silverlight, Quicktime, or any other plugin that will play back video in the browser, as long as there is an API wrapper written for it.
Essentially we're using HTML5 and plugins only as video decoders, and using HTML and JavaScript to create a consistent API and skinning experience across all of them.
Building an API Wrapper
We'll write a more complete guide on writing a wrapper soon, but for now the best resource is the Video.js source where you can see how both the HTML5 and video-js.swf API wrappers were created.
Required Methods
canPlayType play pause currentTime volume duration buffered supportsFullScreen
Required Events
loadstart play pause playing ended volumechange durationchange error
Optional Events (include if supported)
timeupdate progress enterFullScreen exitFullScreen
Adding Playback Technology
When adding additional Tech to a video player, make sure to add the supported tech to the video object.
Tag Method:
<video data-setup='{"techOrder": ["html5", "flash", "other supported tech"]}'
Object Method:
videojs("videoID", {
techOrder: ["html5", "flash", "other supported tech"]
});
Technology Ordering
By default Video.js performs "Tech-first" ordering when it searches for a source/tech combination to play videos. This means that if you have two sources and two techs, video.js will try to play each video with the first tech in the techOrder
option property before moving on to try the next playback technology.
Tech-first ordering can present a problem if you have a sourceHandler
that supports both Html5
and Flash
techs such as videojs-contrib-hls.
For example, given the following video element:
There is a good chance that the mp4 source will be selected on platforms that do not have media source extensions. Video.js will try all sources against the first playback technology, in this case Html5
, and select the first source that can play - in this case MP4.
In "Tech-first" mode, the tests run something like this: Can video.m3u8 play with Html5? No... Can video.mp4 play with Html5? Yes! Use the second source.
Video.js now provides another method of selecting the source - "Source-first" ordering. In this mode, Video.js tries the first source against every tech in techOrder
before moving onto the next source.
With a player setup as follows:
The Flash-based HLS support will be tried before falling back to the MP4 source.
In "Source-first" mode, the tests run something like this: Can video.m3u8 play with Html5? No... Can video.m3u8 play with Flash? Yes! Use the first source.
Flash Technology
The Flash playback tech is a part of the default techOrder
. You may notice undesirable playback behavior in browsers that are subject to using this playback tech, in particular when scrubbing and seeking within a video. This behavior is a result of Flash's progressive video playback.
Enabling Streaming Playback
In order to force the Flash tech to choose streaming playback, you need to provide a valid streaming source before other valid Flash video sources. This is necessary because of the source selection algorithm, where playback tech chooses the first possible source object with a valid type. Valid streaming type
values include rtmp/mp4
and rtmp/flv
. The streaming src
value requires valid connection and stream strings, separated by an &
. An example of supplying a streaming source through your HTML markup might look like:
<source src="rtmp://your.streaming.provider.net/cfx/st/&mp4:path/to/video.mp4" type="rtmp/mp4">
<source src="http://your.static.provider.net/path/to/video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<source src="http://your.static.provider.net/path/to/video.webm" type="video/webm">
You may optionally use the last /
as the separator between connection and stream strings, for example:
<source src="rtmp://your.streaming.provider.net/cfx/st/mp4:video.mp4" type="rtmp/mp4">
All four RTMP protocols are valid in the src
(RTMP, RTMPT, RTMPE, and RTMPS).

I'm giving a talk in about 15 hours and I was going to demo the community web editor but it's broken for me (on Chrome and firefox). webeditor.png
Is there any chance it will be back up and running by 2pm UK time tomorrow?
(UK time is GMT+1)
Ugh, sorry about that. I thought I fixed all the hiccups that happen when the latest released Lean and the latest released mathlib are out of sync, but it looks like something went wrong because mathlib's 3.9.0 upgrade occurred while the daily web editor build was happening. I'll rerun the job now (should finish in 3 hours or so) and in the meantime I'll see if I can make this more robust.
Many thanks Bryan.
It works again :tada: Many thanks indeed Bryan!
Hope the talk went well!
Yeah it went fine. Thanks for asking :-) I had an hour of questions afterwards :-)

Abstract:
Modern cloud applications and services demand for different persistence technologies as they require high volume and diversified data types to be stored. Relying on relational data storage is no more feasible, at the same time NoSQL databases do not provide all the great stuff relational databases provide. Some solutions overwhelm the usage of NoSQL databases while others have adaptability issues and learning challenges, so finding the right balance between the relational and NoSQL is confusing. But the future seems very clear that polygot persistence solutions are the way to design and develop the applications. This session will help you to understand the fundamentals of the NoSQL offerings of Azure - Table Storage and Document DB and then will give some real world case studies of how polygot persistence could be used along side Azure SQL Databases, which will guide you in making decisions in designing your application.

The responsibility over managing data files, security, availability and bearing maintenance cost is not always affordable and not easy too. Microsoft gave us a solution for this starting with SQL Server 2012, though we haven't noticed it much. But now with added enhancements, it is worth to give it a shot with SQL Server 2016, since the benefits are significant. SQL Server data files in Azure offers you several hybrid solutions by providing several benefits for data virtualization, data movement, security and availability, and any easy low cost maintenance for high-availability and elastic scaling. Join this session to discuss this.

Considering I had no experience in e-commerce this project was a great learning opportunity as well as a challenge. I was responsible for the frontend and backend while also figuring out payment gateway integration.
My first goal was to build a webshop from scratch because I "had to" know how it all works under the hood. The next objective was to make it fast. This is how I found out about WebP, the picture tag and source sets. It used to score in the mid 90s, but dropped slightly after the recent update which made Lighthouse audits more strict. But that's just new room for improvement!
Additionally, the client requested basic user, newsletter, and inventory management, promo codes, product reviews, multi-currency, dual language support, and more. I'll admit it was a bumpy ride as the deadline approached, but it all came together in the end and the shop has been operating happily ever since.

Blockchain, a type of distributed ledger, promises to reshape industries by enabling trust,
providing transparency and reducing friction across business ecosystems potentially lowering costs,
reducing transaction settlement times and improving cash ﬂow.
Today, trust is placed in banks, clearinghouses,
governments and many other institutions as central authorities with the “single version of the truth” maintained securely in their databases.
The centralized trust model adds delays and friction costs (commissions, fees and the time value of money) to transactions.
Blockchain provides an alternative trust mode and removes the need for central authorities in arbitrating transactions.
Many blockchain initiatives today do not implement all of the attributes of blockchain — for example, a highly distributed database.
These blockchain-inspired solutions are positioned as a means to achieve operational eﬃciency by automating business processes,
or by digitizing records. They have the potential to enhance sharing of information among known entities,
as well as improving opportunities for tracking and tracing physical and digital assets.
However, these approaches miss the value of true blockchain disruption and may increase vendor lock-in.
Organizations choosing this option should understand the limitations and be prepared to move to complete
blockchain solutions over time and that the same outcomes may be achieved with more eﬃcient and tuned use of existing nonblockchain technologies. More Info


"What Dreams May Come" * * * (out of four)
Starring Robin Williams, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Annabella Sciorra, Max von Sydow, Jessica Brooks, Josh Paddock and Rosalind Chao
Directed by Vincent Ward
Rated PG-13 for very mature themes and mild profanity
Theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1
Released in 1998
Running 113 minutes
"What Dreams May Come" is like two movies in one.  The title may come from a quote from "Hamlet", but believe me; "Hamlet" it ain't. Also, Vincent Ward's direction is so self-indulgent it's almost laughable. But on another, much more positive note, it is the most breathtakingly beautiful film this critic has ever seen. No other movie in the history of cinema has taken me on such a sensory journey for the senses and, above all, the imagination. There are shots in this film that will literally make your mouth drop open. In my mind, there is absolutely no question as to what should/will pick up some Oscars in March for cinematography and art direction.
However, as visually stunning as "Dreams" is, the monotonous and rather shallow narrative really bogs it down. Despite predictably great performances from the film's two leads, Robin Williams (who may be looking at another nomination, if he doesn't nab one for the up-coming "Patch Adams") and Annabella Sciorra, it never really rises out of the hole it dug itself into to become the truly great film experience that it should have been. Something with this much potential can't afford any screw-ups.
The story starts out promising, but as I said, gets increasingly predictable and silly. Williams is Chris Nielsen, a married doctor mourning the recent deaths of his two children (Jessica Brooks and Josh Paddock), who died in a car wreck. In a coincidence even the film seems to find extreme, Chris dies a short time later in yet another car crash trying to save someone else's life.
Chris is taken to Heaven (though not immediately), where he meets an old doctor friend of his now acting as his guide and companion in his own version of the afterlife. For a short time, Chris runs free, enjoying the unparalleled pleasures of the kingdom of God.
Here is where the strong art direction and cinematography kick in. Williams' vision of Heaven is so unique and, for lack of a better word, revolutionary, that I just sat in my seat and gawked at what I was seeing.
After a while, it is found out that Chris' wife Annie, distraught over her recent losses, took her own life and is now condemned to an eternity in Hell. Only with the help of another guide called, plainly enough, The Tracker (Max von Sydow - is anyone surprised?) will Chris be able to travel to the underworld and bring back the woman he loves.
It is also worth noting that the film's vision of Hell are equally as stunning as Heaven's. It is still beautiful and brilliantly realized, only in a much darker and more disturbing way.
All in all, director Ward took what had the potential to be the very best of '98s films, put in some stupid plot twists (the "twists" that I'm referring to occur not once, not twice, but three times during the movie. The only problem is, it's the same twist over and over!) and slapped on a happy, smilely and way to sappy ending, all to assure box office results. Note to Hollywood; when you have great material, put it in the hands of a capable filmmaker.

Traglast is a small finite-element-solver for linear static problems in 2D structures. You can also calculate
boundary loads of steam-beam-constructions by using a nonlinear algorithm. Traglast supports beam-elements
with joints.
To create your structures Traglast provides a simple GUI for pre- and post-processings. Cou can create a complete model,
calculate the deformations and after that you can visualize the defomations, moments ans all forces in the model.
Traglast is under the GPL.
At first get the windows-installer at Sourceforge
and install Traglast for win32. Now start it and you should see the Win32-GUI for traglast:
Create nodes:
To create a simple model select Struktur->Koordinaten erzeugen->Knoten erzeugen.
Enter at first two coordinates at 0.0, 0.0 with a boundary condition in x, y and around the x axis.
Now create another node at 10.0, 0 withound any boundary conditions.
Create a material:
Open Struktur->Material->Material erzeugen and a dialog for the material input will be opened.
Now enter the data for your material. You can also define a plastic moment for the boundary load computation.
Create elements
Select Struktur->Elemente->Numerisch to open the Create-Element-dialog. Enter the start and the end-node, choose the
number of elements to create. At last select your material and close the dialog by pressing OK.
Define loadings
Select Strutur->Lasten->Einzeleinwirkung erzeugen to open the loading dialog. Now select the direction of the load,
enter the value and select a node for your loading. Close the dialog by pressing Ok.
Start the calculation
Select Berechhnung->Berechnung starten to open the calculation-dialog. Now click on Optionen and select
"Berechnung nach Theorie 1. Ordung". Click on OK and click on Berechnung starten. If everything was right
you should see a dialog withe the estimated time for your calculation.
Check your results
Select Berechnung->Ergebnisse and select each possible point to see the deformation and the inner forces of your structure.
You can download Traglast for Win32 at Sourceforge. A linux version is in planning, but not finished yet.
For any questions just visit our project website Sourceforge

getting started
You have your brand new datum sensor plugged in, blue lights are on and flashing but not sure what to do next? Here’s a quick introduction to some of the capabilities and how to get started right away.
There are a number of great tutorials out there on how to use the serial interface that’s at the heart of how you interact with the datum sensors. Sparkfun and Adafruit in particular have some great guides available. For this example we’ll be using the Serial Monitor built into the Arduino IDE. It’s not as full featured as some of the other options out there but it is readily available on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
identify the port
In the Arduino IDE identifying the port is very straightforward. Click Tools on the main menu followed by Port. In the drop down menu select the port corresponding to the board you have plugged in.
open a serial terminal
Opening a serial termianl in the Arduino IDE is also very straightforward. Click Tools again and then click on ‘Serial Monitor’.
connect to the port
This new window is the connection to the serial interface on the datum boards. The live data from the sensor is being streamed into this window.
basic commands
One of the great features about the Serial Monitor is that the send and receive windows are separate from each other. This makes entering commands much easier when automatic reporting is enabled. To make exploring the capabilities of the datum sensors easier let’s disable the automatic reporting. Cut and paste the command below into the window as shown and then click Send.
set /config?automaticReporting=false
The sensor responds with 200 OK
indicating the command was sent successfully. If the command isn’t recognized the sensor will respond with 400 BAD REQUEST
.
To see all the information about the root device and individual sensors copy the command below into the window and click Send again.
get /

The report that was generated contains all the device, config, and options information on the root device and on each of the sensors hosted on the board. If you just want the config information for the root device enter the command below.
get /config
Click here to see the full response.
{
"friendlyName": "friendlyName",
"reportRate": 5,
"automaticReporting": false,
"compactReport": false
}
Let’s customize the report and reenable the automatic reporting. Enter each of the commands and click Send after each one.
set /config?compactReport=true
set /config?reportRate=10
set /config?automaticReporting=true
The live data is being streamed again but it’s coming in twice as fast and each report is on a single line. The single line reports are a great format to use when the sensors are communicating with your own programs.
