HookBase
[source]¶ Bases:
object
Base class for hooks that can be registered with
TrainerBase
.Each hook can implement 4 methods. The way they are called is demonstrated in the following snippet:
hook.before_train() for iter in range(start_iter, max_iter): hook.before_step() trainer.run_step() hook.after_step() iter += 1 hook.after_train()
Notes
In the hook method, users can access
self.trainer
to access more properties about the context (e.g., model, current iteration, or config if usingDefaultTrainer
).A hook that does something in
before_step()
can often be implemented equivalently inafter_step()
. If the hook takes non-trivial time, it is strongly recommended to implement the hook inafter_step()
instead ofbefore_step()
. The convention is thatbefore_step()
should only take negligible time.Following this convention will allow hooks that do care about the difference between
before_step()
andafter_step()
(e.g., timer) to function properly.
-
state_dict
()[source]¶ Hooks are stateless by default, but can be made checkpointable by implementing state_dict and load_state_dict.

-
class
xmodaler.engine.
TrainerBase
[source]¶ Bases:
object

The above example will run the profiler for iteration 10~20 and dump results to
OUTPUT_DIR
. We did not profile the first few iterations because they are typically slower than the rest. The result files can be loaded in thechrome://tracing
page in chrome browser.Note
When used together with NCCL on older version of GPUs, autograd profiler may cause deadlock because it unnecessarily allocates memory on every device it sees. The memory management calls, if interleaved with NCCL calls, lead to deadlock on GPUs that do not support
cudaLaunchCooperativeKernelMultiDevice
.-

PreciseBN
(period, model, data_loader, num_iter)[source]¶ Bases:
xmodaler.engine.train_loop.HookBase
The standard implementation of BatchNorm uses EMA in inference, which is sometimes suboptimal. This class computes the true average of statistics rather than the moving average, and put true averages to every BN layer in the given model.
It is executed every
period
iterations and after the last iteration.-
__init__
(period, model, data_loader, num_iter)[source]¶ - Parameters
period (int) – the period this hook is run, or 0 to not run during training. The hook will always run in the end of training.
model (nn.Module) – a module whose all BN layers in training mode will be updated by precise BN. Note that user is responsible for ensuring the BN layers to be updated are in training mode when this hook is triggered.
data_loader (iterable) – it will produce data to be run by model(data).
num_iter (int) – number of iterations used to compute the precise statistics.

DefaultTrainer
(cfg)[source]¶ Bases:
xmodaler.engine.train_loop.TrainerBase
A trainer with default training logic. It does the following:
Create a
DefaultTrainer
using model, optimizer, dataloader defined by the given config. Create a LR scheduler defined by the config.Load the last checkpoint or cfg.MODEL.WEIGHTS, if exists, when resume_or_load is called.
Register a few common hooks defined by the config.
It is created to simplify the standard model training workflow and reduce code boilerplate for users who only need the standard training workflow, with standard features. It means this class makes many assumptions about your training logic that may easily become invalid in a new research. In fact, any assumptions beyond those made in the
DefaultTrainer
are too much for research.The code of this class has been annotated about restrictive assumptions it makes. When they do not work for you, you’re encouraged to:
Overwrite methods of this class, OR:
Use
DefaultTrainer
, which only does minimal SGD training and nothing else. You can then add your own hooks if needed. OR:Write your own training loop similar to train_net.py.
See the Training tutorials for more details.
Note that the behavior of this class, like other functions/classes in this file, is not stable, since it is meant to represent the “common default behavior”. It is only guaranteed to work well with the standard models and training workflow in X-modaler. To obtain more stable behavior, write your own training logic with other public APIs.
Examples:
trainer = DefaultTrainer(cfg) trainer.resume_or_load() # load last checkpoint or MODEL.WEIGHTS trainer.train()

Paul Merson tells Arsenal they missed the prime time to sack Unai Emery
Paul Merson believes Arsenal have regressed under Unai Emery and says his former club missed a golden opportunity to let the Spaniard go this week
by Jake Polden, https://www.mirror.co.uk/authors/jake-polden/Paul Merson reckons Arsenal missed the golden opportunity to sack Unai Emery, adding the Spaniard is fortunate to still be in a job.
The Gunners have struggled under Emery this season, and a section of the fanbase have started to get on his back.
The board have come out in support of the Arsenal boss in recent weeks, despite results continuing to go against the club.
Emery is in little danger of being sacked at the moment, but former Gunners midfielder Merson thinks Arsenal need to reconsider their stance.
He says the club have regressed under the Spaniard, and that they should have parted company with him at the start of the international break.
"Looking at what's to come with Arsenal, the fixtures, I think he's there for the long run," Merson told Sky Sports.
"I think this was a prime [time] to say 'right, let's get someone in, this hasn't worked, bring a manager in, got five or six unbelievable football games to come up, get off to a great start, and then we go from there'.
"I think he's very fortunate."
Arsene Wenger left the Gunners after 22 years in charge when things started going wrong for the Frenchman.
Wenger's Arsenal won 85 points from a possible 150 in his final 50 games in charge, while Emery's Gunners have collected just 87 in his first 50 in charge.
The stats suggest Arsenal have made little progression under Emery, and Merson believes they've actually regressed.
"I don't see any change at Arsenal. They don't keep clean sheets, they let in goals for fun and do you know the worst thing about it now?
"They don't even really look like scoring goals, which is the thing with me.
"With Arsenal, they always looked like they were going to score goals, even though they would be ropy at the back. But I don't see that happening now.

Match Play. Red leads 1-0 to 5. Should Red double? If doubled, should White take?
pips Red=145 White=160
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
For money, this is an uncomfortable but correct take for White because Red has only two home board points made, and White has several ways to win, despite (but sometimes because) he has his ace-point made.
However, at this score a gammon loss, and 25% of Red’s wins are gammons, costs White the match and that is too high a price to pay. Stop me if I have said this before but ‘in short matches the score normally dominates the cube decisions.’

USD/IDR Technical Analysis: 21-day EMA, 9-day-old supportline limit immediate declines
by Anil Panchal- USD/IDR bounced off 21-day EMA, 23.6% Fibonacci retracement.
- A nearly two-week-old rising trend line adds to the support.
- 38.2% Fibonacci retracement, a falling resistance line act as key upside barriers.
Given the USD/IDR pair’s recent pullback from short-term key support confluence, buyers cheer 14,076 as a quote amid early Monday trading in Asia.
Considering the pair’s recent recovery from 21-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and 23.9% Fibonacci retracement of August-September declines, prices are likely rising towards 14,150 mark including 38.2% Fibonacci retracement.
However, a downward sloping trend line since late-August, at 14,200, could keep the pair’s further upside in check, if not then October month high near 14,275 will gain market attention.
On the downside break of 14,050/45 support confluence, an ascending support line since November 05, will restrict pair’s declines around 14,012 ahead of highlighting 14,000 round-figure to sellers.
In a case where bears dominate below 14,000, lows marked in July and September around 13,880 will be the key to watch.

Assembling the Audio Files.
I’ve already answered the questions for this part on the home page, so this space will be dedicated to assembling the audio files. There are 7 audio files, every audio file has two numbers associated with it:
- The number in the filename. 0-7 skipping 4
- The track number in the metadata. 1-7.
You can pull the track numbers via exiftool. Yes, that tool to view exif data from images also handles pretty much every other file aswell! I ran exiftool *.mp3 | grep 'Name\|Track'
to show me all the track numbers associated with the files. The | in my grep command, just means “OR”, it comes in really handy.
I combined all the audio files based upon their track number with ffmpeg. I could of gone straight to an audio editing program such as Audacity or GarageBand, but I find combining files via command line easier than dragging stuff around on a timeline. The command to combine is:

Playing the audio file within VLC, I was able to understand “Merry Christmas Santa <jibberish> Jeff”, it was also apparent that the clip had been slowed down.
Download Unmodified Audio
I downloaded Audacity which is a great tool for editing Audio Files. The first step is to import the audio file into audacity (File > Import). Once imported, we can now start playing with the effects we know the audio is slowed down so naturally I attempted the “Change speed” effect first. I chose to make it 7x the speed because there are 7 audio files. There’s no technical merrit behind that reasoning, just thought that if I was tasked to slowdown and cut up the video files I’d choose the same number. After changing the speed the pitch of the audio was too high to make out a single word.
Download Sped Up Audio
Looking through the effects again, I saw the “Change Tempo” had a description of “Increase Tempo without Changing Pitch”. I ran this one with a 700 percent increase and was now able to make out every word: “Merry Christmas Santa Claus, as I’ve always known him Jeff.” which was the passphrase to the final door and lead to The Doctor.

The audio was grabbed from The Doctor Who special of 2012.

Introduced in Excel 11 (2003) the FEATHEADR11 record describes common information (header) for shared features such as Tables. For example, if you have a worksheet that contains Table(s), a Shared Feature Header ( FEATHEADER11 ) record is created for all Tables. Though Tables from the same or different sheets may have specific data that are different which are saved in the Feature Data 11 (see FEAT11 record for detail) portion, their common settings are stored in this header block record.
A worksheet may contain one or more different types of Shared Feature and each type of Shared Feature has its own Shared Feature Header ( FEATHEADER11 ) record to store common information across all Shared Feature of the same type. For example, if a Workbook has both Table and some future shared feature, there is one Shared Feature Header ( FEATHEADER11 ) created for Table, and another Shared Feature Header ( FEATHEADER11 ) created for the future feature. Therefore, the data block of the Shared Feature Header ( FEATHEADER11 ) may have a different data structure depending on which Shared Feature Type the record is for. Hence, the FEATHEADER11 record will have a different data structure layout according to the Shared Feature type (the isf field flags differentiate Shared Feature types).
Though Excel currently has many different Shared Features such as Formula Error Checking, Protection, Factoid (SmartTag etc.), only 3 types of Shared Feature are persisted in Excel 2003: Protection, Factoid (SmartTag), and Table.
In Excel 2003, Table uses the FEATHEADER11 structure, even though the FEATHEADER is still used for existing Excel 10 (2002) features such as Protection and Factoid (SmartTag) etc. This new record of FEATHEADER11 , though it has exactly the same structure as FEATHEADER , was introduced to persist header records in combination with FEAT11 (introduced to address bugs in round-tripping scenario of FEAT ) through earlier versions. Therefore, if a shared feature is saved using FEAT11 , it should be using FEATHEADER11 instead of FEATHEADER .

This modal gives you a simple explanation and breakdown of the two main components of the GCS:WEBui, the Control Panel and the Manual Target Submission. This site, itself, is used by the Flint Hill Animus Ferus team for the AUVSI SUAS competition in Maryland. This page should be displayed on the Ground Control Station laptop.
The control panel slide is to let us view and/or control our subproccesses, the Interoperability connection (to the competition server), SDA (Sense, Detect, and Avoid,) and Image Processing. From the panes, you can see the status, runtime, and the power on/off buttons for SDA and Image Processing. From the Interop. pane, you can the status, and position of the single targets, such as off-axis, emergent, and airdrop.
The controls for the control panel are not difficult or extensive. There is only the simple power on/off power buttons for SDA and Image Processing. When a power button is red, clicking it means that you will turn it off. And when a power button is greed, clicking it means that you will it on
A demo of these buttons can be seen below:
The manual target submitter (abbreviated MTS) slide is a far more complex slide than the control panel one. As the name states, this slide allows us to manual crop and submit ground targets to the Interoperability server. You will notice that the subprocess Image Processing exists on the Control Panel. In the event that we do not complete autonomous Image Processing before the competition, or for any other related reason, we will use MTS to submit the targets. We also plan to use MTS in conjunction with autonomous Image Processing, as there is no point penalty for it.
The controls are, clearly, more complex, but they have simplified as much as possible in order to be immediately accessible to those that have not previously operated the MTS, as it might be necessary for the competition.
Here is the toolbar as it appears on the Image Processing slide:
Notice that the Crop and Submit
, , and buttons are disabled. These buttons are disabled because Crop and Submit requires that a crop be selected on an image, and the and arrow buttons are for selecting between images. But, since no images are loaded by default on startup, these buttons are not clickable.
The buttons being disabled also, by design, teaches the user to press the Load Images
to retrieve new images if new images are taken by the drone.
Here is what the toolbar looks like without any of the buttons being disabled:
Here is formal breakdown of the buttons:
Press to load images. If new ones are being taken and made available, then clicking load images will maintain your current index, and simply add the new images to the ones available. If the new list of images is shorter than your current image index (because images have been deleted,) then your current image index will reset to zero.
This button becomes clickable once you have created a crop on the image. This opens up a modal which lets you verify the cropped target before finally submitting.
Decrease current image index by one. Only selectable if your current image index does not equal zero.
Increase current image index by one. Only selectable if your current image index does not equal the total number of available images.
It's imperative that the target's description be accurate. To accomplish this, there is the specification's pane that allows you to input the details of the target.
The details of the cropped target do not appear in the Image Submission Verification modal, as there is not enough space screen space in the modal. You can, however, click out of the modal, and compare the crop preview in the modal with the details of the target that you specificied in the specification pane.
Because the images from the drone will be taken from several hundred feet in the air, it's important that the MTS screen has built-in zoom functionality. You will find the zoom in and zoom out buttons on the bottom-right of the MTS screen, below the specifications pane.
The zoom in section looks like this:
The buttons, themselves, are pretty self-explanatory.
What's important to note is how the zoom in function works. The zoom buttons zoom in on the center of the current view box, so, going from 1x to 2x zoom, you zoom in on the dead center of the image. But going from 2x to 3x, 4x, ... and so on, you zoom in on the box that you're looking at.
It would be best to practice using the zoom-in and zoom-out buttons before going into the competition, as a textual-based explanation like this can only do so much.
This section describes the indicators that are part of the GCS:WebUI, Manual Target Submission slide.
The camera on the drone will almost never always point to true north. As a consequence, it was necessary to implement a north offset indicator. It indicates how many degrees from north that the drone's camera is aligned with.
How this effects the end user is that, if a target looks like it's orientation is east and the offset is 90°, then add the offset to the estimated orientation to get the final orientation (in this example, south.)
It's important to keep track of the index of the current image that you are on in case multiple people are working on Manual Target Submission, as to not overlap and accidentallly resubmit the same targets from different devices. And it is also helpful to know the level of magnification (zoom level) of image. For such reasons, the images counter and zoom level indicators were implemented.
Reading the counter and level indicators is easy, as they're located on the top-right of the screen. Not intrusive or in the way, but easy to find.

B. GS2 Related
1. Government clears proxy vote move for NRIs
Changes in Electoral Laws
- The Government has approved changes in electoral laws to permit Non-Resident Indians to cast their vote in assembly and Lok Sabha elections from overseas
- If the proposal passes in Parliament, NRIs will be able to exercise their voting rights through “proxy”
- Currently, only service personnel are permitted to vote through proxy
Why is proposed facility of proxy for NRIs different from service personnel?
- The facility for NRIs will not be the same as that enjoyed by service personnel
- For example, voters in the armed forces can nominate their relatives as permanent proxy to vote on their behalf
- Facility for NRIs: Overseas electors will have to appoint a nominee afresh for each election
- One person can act as proxy for only one overseas voter
2. Rajya Sabha passes RTE amendments
Context
- The Rajya Sabha unanimously passed the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (Amendment) Bill, 2017, which aims to provide a two-year window to around 11 lakh private and government teachers to get prescribed minimum qualifications for appointment.
Amendments
- The Bill gives them an opportunity to acquire professional qualification by enrolling themselves in the Swayam platform, which will be an online medium.
- Those living in rural areas would be taught through Swayam Prabha television channels in 32 languages, and they would have to buy a set top box worth ₹1300
Basic Information
SWAYAM platform
- It stands for Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds.
- It is the Indian electronic e-education platform which proposes to offer courses from the high school stage to Post-Graduate stage in an interactive electronic platform.
3. How to curb ‘invisible money’
Context
- The reforms suggested by Election and Law Commission, and Government’s non-compliance on them
- This non-compliance is increasing Invisible money in Elections
Power given to EC, under the RP Act
- The Election Commission (EC) works in accordance with
(1) Article 324 of the Constitution of India,
(2) the Representation of the People Act (RP Act), 1951
(3) the rules framed by the government thereunder, and various judgments of the Supreme Court and High Courts
- The power to frame rules under the RP Act has not been given to the EC by successive governments
Status of reforms suggested by the EC
- Most of the reform proposals by the EC have not been acted upon
- It sent 22 proposals in 2004
- In December 2016, it sent 47 proposals including those for “Election expenses and election petitions”, “Election campaign and advertisements”, and “Reforms relating to political parties”
- There are also instances where the Supreme Court has directed reforms in its decisions, with the government and Parliament attempting to amend laws to prevent implementation of the judgments
Two proposals by the government which increase invisible money in Elections
- The other significant proposals that the Budget made were
(a) to remove the limit of 7.5% on profits that a company can donate to a political party, and
(b) to remove the requirement that the company making a donation to a political party disclose the name of the party and the amount donated
Suggestions by the Law commission
- A logical and simple way of introducing financial transparency and accountability in the working of the political parties is recommended by the Law Commission
- Suggestion: is to bring political parties under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005
- The Central Information Commission (CIC) had also said in a full bench decision in June 2013 that six national political parties were indeed ‘public authorities’ under the RTI Act
- Why: Because they fulfilled all conditions specified in Section 2(h) of the RTI Act which defines ‘public authority’
Reaction from Political Parties: Despite this decision, political parties, including the ruling party now, refused to accept RTI applications
4. Govt moves to check benami, Aadhaar to be made must for property deals
In News
Move to curb Benami Transactions and the use of black money in Property Deals
- The government is planning to make Aadhaar-based authentication mandatory at the time of registration of documents such as agreement for sale, power of attorney,etc.
- The government has also firmed up plans to enable electronic registration of properties, for which Aadhaar-based authentication will be a prerequisite
- For this, the government is planning to amend Sections 32 and 32A of the Registration Act, 1908
- Also, the Aadhaar law allows the Central Identities Data Repository, under the UIDAI, to offer authentication services
Expected benefits:
- This is expected to ensure foolproof property titles for the buyers
- It will also minimise the scope of fraudulent and benami transactions
Other steps taken by the Government to curb black money in real state
- The government also enacted the Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Amended Act, 2016 last year
- This law empowers authorities to provisionally attach and eventually confiscate benami properties
C. GS3 Related
1. Space for a cut: On RBI repo rate cut
Context
- Reserve Bank of India did cut the policy repo rate by 25 basis points, and has opted to play safe while nominally acceding to the clamour for softer lending rates.
Bimonthly policy statement
- It refers to the significant slowdown over the past three months in core inflation — retail price gains excluding those for food and fuel
- Monsoon has so far been normal, and the initial roll-out of GST has been “smooth”.
- Monetary policy committee chosen to retain the “neutral” stance, given that it expects the trajectory of inflation to rise from current lows amid a welter of uncertainties
Chances for Inflation
- Due to the implementation of farm loan waivers by States
- State governments will implement salary and allowance increases following the Centre’s implementation of the seventh pay panel-related hikes.
- A second successive normal monsoon that could check food costs and a stable international commodity price outlook — that could help keep the inflation trajectory favourable.
Way forward
- Impulses for growth in industry and services are weakening, so the Centre and the States to take enabling steps, through policy measures and directed fiscal actions, to give a thrust for the revival of private investment
- It will serve nobody’s interests if the rate reduction doesn’t have “the desired amplifier effects on the economy” and ends up only temporarily masking the true problems in the banking and real sectors.
2. Unhappy with MCLR, RBI may link rates to market determined benchmarks
Context:
- Reserve Bank of India is reviewing the MCLR system and exploring linking of the bank lending rates directly to market determined benchmarks to ensure a better transmission of interest rates.
The experience with the MCLR system
- It introduced in April 2016 for improving the monetary transmission but it has not been entirely satisfactory, even though it has been an advance over the Base Rate system.
- An internal Study Group has been constituted to study MCLR system from the perspective of improving the monetary transmission and exploring linking of the bank lending rates directly to market determined benchmarks.
Current problems with monetary transmission:
- Banks not doing enough to pass on the full benefit of its rate actions to the borrowers and help revive the sagging private investment for economic growth.
- Banks have been selective in their rate cuts in aggressive segments like home and auto loans, but in other segments, borrowers are still tied to the base rate.
- Ongoing resolutions on the NPA front will help in better transmission as the banks’ balance sheet stress is resolved.
RBI plan
- RBI will be coming out with final guidelines on tripartite repo to deepen the corporate bond market, which, by working as an alternative to the bank lending, will also force banks to tinker with the rates quickly.
- RBI is forming a high level task-force to help develop a “comprehensive near real-time public credit registry.
Public credit registry
- It will evaluate the existing public and private infrastructure for credit information, assess any data gaps, study the best international practices and provide a roadmap.
- It can potentially help banks in credit assessment and pricing of credit as well as in making risk-based, dynamic and countercyclical provisioning.
- The PCR can also help the RBI in understanding if transmission of monetary policy is working, and if not, where are the bottlenecks.
- It can help supervisors, regulators and banks in early intervention and effective restructuring of stressed bank credits.
Basic Information
The marginal cost of funds based lending rate (MCLR)
- It refers to the minimum interest rate of a bank below which it cannot lend, except in some cases allowed by the RBI.
- It is an internal benchmark or reference rate for the bank. MCLR actually describes the method by which the minimum interest rate for loans is determined by a bank – on the basis of marginal cost or the additional or incremental cost of arranging one more rupee to the prospective borrower.
- This new methodology replaces the base ratesystem introduced in July 2010.
Reasons for introducing MCLR
- RBI decided to shift from base rate to MCLR because the rates based on marginal cost of funds are more sensitive to changes in the policy rates.
- This is very essential for the effective implementation of monetary policy. Prior to MCLR system, different banks were following different methodology for calculation of base rate /minimum rate – that is either on the basis of average cost of funds or marginal cost of funds or blended cost of funds. Thus, MCLR aims
- To improve the transmission of policy rates into the lending rates of banks.
- To bring transparency in the methodology followed by banks for determining interest rates on advances.
- To ensure availability of bank credit at interest rates which are fair to borrowers as well as banks.
- To enable banks to become more competitive and enhance their long run value and contribution to economic growth.
3. The difficult economics of the Indian farmer
Context
- The hardships faced by Indian farmers on different fronts due to climate, price risk, Government policy problems etc.
Problems
- The risks begin with sowing. The production in the months ahead is deeply dependent on weather conditions.
- Price risk: A bumper crop can pull down prices in wholesale markets. Farmers are reported to have not been able to even recover the cost for some crops
- Recent report that the fall in inflation has increased the real debt burden of farmers, which has risen faster than real income in recent years.
- The opportunities for risk mitigation are minimal.
- MSPs was originally conceived as a way to mitigate risk through guaranteed prices. It later degenerated into a tool to buy the political support of large farmers.
- Farmers who suffered losses in the last year have not yet received compensation for 55% of the estimated claims from Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. Crop insurance will not benefit farmers if the compensation is not paid in time
- A more robust mechanism is needed to mitigate the price risk. The lack of future prices means that farmers base their production decisions on prices at the time of sowing.
- In majority of agri-products, the policymakers used restrictive export policies to keep domestic prices low. This showed the pro-consumer bias in the policy complex
How to reduce price risk?
- Price deficiency payment, which has been advocated by NITI Aayog
- In price deficiency payment, farmers can be compensated through direct benefit transfer if prices fall below a predetermined threshold level.
- A deeper derivative market in agricultural commodities will also help farmers in hedging against price risks.
- The market regulator has done well by allowing option contracts.
- However, the government should avoid its response of banning trading whenever prices rise.
Way forward
- Strike a balance between the interests of both the producer and the consumer
- The actual impact of higher remunerative farm prices can be contained by making markets more efficient and removing middlemen from the system.
- Building a common agriculture market is also necessary.
- Government policy should focus not just on higher production but also on helping farmers manage risks

1. In a scientific first, disease gene ‘edited’ in human embryos
Repairing of Gene
- Scientists in the United States have repaired a disease-causing mutation in the DNA of early-stage human embryos
- Why Important: This is an important step in Engineering babies free of inherited disorders
- The team successfully uses the CRISPR “gene editing” tool in viable embryos
- This research is hailed by experts around the world
Basic Information
- Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) are segments of prokaryotic DNA containing short, repetitive base sequences
- These play a key role in a bacterial defence system, and form the basis of a genome editing technology known as CRISPR/Cas9 that allows permanent modification of

Company Profile
Business Description
Scan Conversion Services Inc. (SCSI) is a service company
providing large format, high resolution scanning, in conjunction
with auto-raster to vector conversion technology. On a large
volume scale SCSI converts legal and utility, contour, forestry,
geological, land use and hydrographic maps to AutoCAD, DXF,
Intergraph, ARC/Info and various raster formats. SCSI also
converts engineering drawings to various CAD systems.
Project Opportunities
SCSI is seeking to act as a subcontractor in projects which
involve the conversion of large volumes of maps and/or
engineering drawings to CAD, Digital Mapping, GIS or raster
based mapping for EDMS systems. SCSI is confident that a
substantial benefit to a partner will be achieved based on the
following points:
Since it's inception SCSI has converted thousands of maps and
drawings to vector and raster based files for CAD, Digital
Mapping and GIS systems. A keen knowledge of complying to a
clients specifications in a large volume situation has been the
result. Put simply, we know how to get manually produced maps
and drawings into a structured format which the client can use
immediately.
Through an existing network of alliances with engineering,
surveying, imaging, cartographic, map publishing, AM/FM and GIS
consulting companies, SCSI is in a very strong position to offer
a wide range of solutions for mapping and drawing conversion and
data structuring. On-going marketing efforts with these existing
partners will be carried out in the future and a requirement for
additional specialized services is anticipated.
SCSI has been benchmark tested and has bid successfully for
projects with many large, private and public companies and all
levels of government in Canada and the US. In many cases SCSI
has far out performed it's competitors in complying to the
client's specifications with a high level of quality. This is a
distinction upon which SCSI prides itself.

Testimonial:
I was recently involved in a raster to vectorproject with Scan Conversion. This project
involved the scanning and subsequent vectorizing
of some 900 mapsheets. In addition to this were
edge matching, cleaning, noding and proper
feature representation allowing us to link these
new digital maps to our current feature code
database.
The project was an astounding success and
Scan Conversion delivered on spec, on time and
even under budget; as there work progressed they
became more efficient with their processes and
were able to pass along some of the cost saving
to us.
They are reliable, flexible to change and
open to criticism and I wouldnt hesitate in
using them again should the need arise. If you
had any further questions about this company Id
be willing to speak with you about them.

Name of an environment variable to be set during the build.
Its value will be the absolute path of the directory where the {ca,cert,key}.pem
files will be created.
You probably want to call this variable DOCKER_CERT_PATH
, which will be understood by the docker client binary.

Sometimes, certain queries may be computationally more expensive than others. A query may include certain fields that would trigger more complex backend logic in order to fulfill the query resolution. As attackers, we can abuse it by calling these actions frequently in order to cause resource exhaustion.
In GraphQL, a concept called Query Cost Analysis exists, which assigns weight values to fields that are more expensive to resolve than others. Using this feature, we can then create an upper threshold to reject queries that are expensive. Alternatively, a cache feature can be implemented to avoid repeating the same request in a short time window.


When this add-on is installed (including reinstallation), the language after translation has not been specified. If you use the function in this state, the text or website will be translated into English and a notice will be displayed on the lower right.
If you set up "Behavior when translating" and "Translated language" on the option page of this add-on, the notification will not be displayed. (Red frame part of the image on the right)
Q. The translated language is different from the specified language.
A. It seems that the specification of Google translation is changed and it becomes the language used before. It may be resolved if you discard the cache and load the page on the Google Translate page. (Ctrl + F5 key)
Q. I want to erase the icon added to the address bar.
A. You can delete only the icon by right-clicking the icon.

In many use cases, there is an event loop, which does some main task, and often some subsidiary tasks. The subsidiary tasks often grow with time, and it is usually tempting to put the subsidiary task directly in the main loop. However, this should be avoided because it leads to lot of code in the main loop, making it hard to read. A better approach is to offload additional functionality to a new class or closure, and make a single function call from the main loop.
We had some code which looked like this
class EventProcessor: def __init__(self, consumer): self.consumer = consumer def run(self): for message in consumer: # lots of processing here consumer = KafkaConsumer("some_topic") ep = EventProcessor(consumer) ep.run()
Within each message, there is a timestamp which denotes the time at which the message was put in the queue. Using this, we would like to output, every 10,000th message, what was the average time in the queue for these 10,000 messages.
This is how we did it, in the first try:
BATCH_SIZE = 10000 class EventProcessor: def __init__(self, consumer): self.consumer = consumer def run(self): count, total_wait_time = 0, 0 for message in consumer: # lots of processing here count += 1 total_wait_time = time.time() - message['timestamp'] if count == BATCH_SIZE: Logger.log(float(total_wait_time) / count) count, total_wait_time = 0, 0 consumer = KafkaConsumer("some_topic") ep = EventProcessor(consumer) ep.run()
This has led to contamination of our loop. Not only does the main loop now implement the logic of outputting average wait times, this logic is distributed at various places in the loop, and some lies outside the loop.
We wrote an improved version of the code, abstracting the wait time logger to a separate class:
BATCH_SIZE = 10000 class WaitTimeLogger: def __init__(self): self.init_vars() def init_vars(self): self.count, self.total_wait_time = 0, 0 def increment(self, timestamp): self.total_wait_time += time.time() - timestamp if self.count == BATCH_SIZE: Logger.log(float(total_wait_time) / count) self.init_vars() class EventProcessor: def __init__(self, consumer): self.consumer = consumer self.wait_time_logger = WaitTimeLogger() def run(self): for message in consumer: # lots of processing here self.wait_time_logger.increment(message['timestamp']) consumer = KafkaConsumer("some_topic") ep = EventProcessor(consumer) ep.run()
This is much better. Now the main loop has just one extra line. To make the code testable, we can insert WaitTimeLogger as a dependency:
BATCH_SIZE = 10000 class WaitTimeLogger: def __init__(self): self.init_vars() def init_vars(self): self.count, self.total_wait_time = 0, 0 def increment(self, timestamp): self.total_wait_time += time.time() - timestamp if self.count == BATCH_SIZE: Logger.log(float(total_wait_time) / count) self.init_vars() class EventProcessor: def __init__(self, consumer, wait_time_logger): self.consumer = consumer self.wait_time_logger = wait_time_logger def run(self): for message in consumer: # lots of processing here self.wait_time_logger.increment(message['timestamp']) consumer = KafkaConsumer("some_topic") wait_time_logger = WaitTimeLogger() ep = EventProcessor(consumer, wait_time_logger) ep.run()
This, in my opinion, is the perfect solution.

I am here to tell you a little bit about me...
I am very easy to describe; I am a Brazilian Citizen and also American. I am a guitar player who writes and sings songs in Portuguse. I am a Hot Yoga addicted. I am also very friendly and outgoing, who loves to uplift and inspire every one surround me.
I finished school in Brazil then I started traveling around this beautiful world. Somehow, I ended up in Tacoma and I started going to Tacoma Community College. After that; I was hired at Trader Joe's where I stayed for many years(Good Times!) I felt in love with Seattle and the Pacific North West(who doesn't!).
I like to play and sing in Portuguese, I like to go out to nice restaurants, I love to practice Hot Yoga... And also sometimes I do some voice recording. I also love to drive in the beautiful Washington State, there are so many places to go. We are very fortunate to be here... It is a beautiful world Ladies and Gentleman!


The following should be taken into account when reviewing published exclusions statistics.
The exclusions information reported in published releases is based on data returned by schools as part of the school census.
It does not include data which has been submitted by local authorities (LAs) or schools outside of the school census.
It's a school's responsibility to record exclusions data correctly in their school census return.
As exclusions information is collected two terms in arrears, when a school closes and is replaced by a sponsored academy data is not available for the last two terms that the predecessor school was open.
Caution is recommended when interpreting the data for Traveller of Irish Heritage and Gypsy/Roma children due to small population sizes.
Prior to the release of exclusion National Statistics the raw data goes through a thorough quality assurance process to ensure it is fit for purpose.
The main areas of this checking are:
