--- layout: page title: Info for Brigadistas description: An annual study trip to Cuba background: '/img/info.jpg' ---
Due to COVID-19, the 2021-22 Southern Cross Brigade to Cuba has been postponed. We plan for the 2022-23 brigade to proceed. Dates and further details for the 2022-23 brigade will be posted to this website in early 2022. If you would like to join the 2022-23 brigade, please email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>to register your interest and we will keep you up to date!
The Information Booklet is essential reading for the brigade. Please read this document carefully as it explains many aspects of the brigade and addresses frequently asked questions.
To secure your place on the brigade, please fill out this registration form and return it to the Lead Brigade Coordinator, Lia Weitzel at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>before 31 October.
The information you give in this form must be the same as appears in your current passport. Please call Lia on 0413 753 115 if you need any help filling out the form.
You will also need to pay a non-refundable* $AU250 registration fee. It is important that you advise the Lead Brigade Coordinator by email or phone of your payment once you have completed it, so that we can ensure that your registration is matched to your payment. The registration fee can be paid by:
BSB: 062-003 (Commonwealth Bank)
Account number: 00801160
Account name: ACFS Sydney
PO Box 764
Ashfield NSW 1800
*Subject to usual consumer rights laws.
The brigade costs approximately $AU1200 in total, per person, paid in two parts:
This cost covers all accommodation, food, travel and activities as described in the program for the duration of the brigade, as well as a group t-shirt and cap for each member of the brigade.
This cost does not cover international flights, visas or travel and health insurance. These aspects of your travel must be arranged separately.
Each brigadista must also budget for personal spending money. The cost of the brigade covers all basic necessities, however the Southern Cross Brigade recommends that each brigadista bring a minimum of $AU600 spending money in a suitable currency for snacks, drinks, toiletries, souvenirs, personal outings and optional activities. Please bring enough extra cash to suit your travel style – for many, $600 will not be enough. We have found that most brigadistas spend approximately $1000 on extras.
Please ensure you arrive with Euros, Canadian Dollars or Mexican Pesos. The Australia Cuba Friendship Society recommends that you avoid bringing US dollars, as these incur an extra surcharge to exchange in Cuba. You cannot use or change Australian or New Zealand currency in Cuba. Please follow the guidelines for money in our Information Booklet.
*Subject to usual consumer rights laws.
We advise booking your flights as early as possible, as flights to Cuba around the Christmas period can be expensive and fill fast.
We recommend that you do not travel to Cuba via the USA, due to the ongoing US blockade on Cuba. It’s possible that you could be delayed at immigration in the USA due to unwanted attention from US officials.
Australians and New Zealanders who wish to travel to Cuba must obtain a visa from the Cuban Embassy in their respective country. As a brigadista, you are being invited to Cuba by ICAP (The Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples), a Cuban government body. However, you will still have to apply for a Tourist Visa. Minors must have their own Tourist Visa.
The Tourist Visa can be used within one year of issue. However, once you enter Cuba, the visa is valid for a stay of 30 days.
For Australians: For more information, please phone the Cuban Embassy on (02) 6290 2151 or visit their website at http://misiones.minrex.gob.cu/en/australia and find the application links for the Tourist Card on the right hand side of your screen.
For New Zealanders: For more information, please phone the Cuban Embassy on (04) 464 2210 or visit their website at http://misiones.minrex.gob.cu/en/new-zealand and find the application links for the Tourist Card on the right hand side of your screen.
Please also remember that you may need a transit visa for the country you will be travelling through on your way to Cuba. This is the case for those travelling through Canada, the USA and a selection of other countries.
Since 2010, it has been a requirement of entry into Cuba that all travellers, both foreigners and Cubans living abroad, have medical insurance. To ensure that you comply with this requirement, you will need to have a travel insurance policy with a non-US company that covers medical expenses in Cuba.
Information sessions on the brigade are run in many regional centres across Australia and New Zealand throughout the year. Please contact us to get in touch with your regional brigade coordinator, who can tell you more about the brigade and let you know about any upcoming information sessions.

I read a couple articles that mention the 2000 elections as a unfortunate polarizing force, from both sides.
I find this peculiar. Of the people I know who hate Bush, they don't hate him because of the 2000 election. It doesn't hurt... but if he hadn't stolen the election, we'd all still hate him just as deeply. I might even put the whole thing in a more positive light. I don't have to feel quite so disappointed in our democracy, because the citizens of the US made the right choice.
What does it mean to Bush supports that he is so deeply hated by so many? I realize Clinton was similarly hated by an entirely different segment of the country. If Kerry wins, I suspect he'll be hated as well, though to really make it work they'll have to look a bit more for a good hook like they had for Clinton. But ultimately the loathing isn't entirely rational. I think Dick Chaney is probably a worse person than Bush, but his voice doesn't inspire nausea. So a hook probably isn't necessary.
I wonder when we'll have a president that isn't widely hated? Recent elections have been divisive, but Bush had a chance midterm to win over a lot of Americans after 9/11, and even a chance to win over a lot of foreigners. He pretty much threw that away.
As a sidenote, I feel a little awkward about this post. It might seem that I want everyone to meet in the middle. Or that both sides are on some level equal. Or that reasonable people can disagree on these things. I don't think any of those things. There is no "middle", except when you look at the issues in a very limited, framed manner, and I absolutely don't accept the frames with which either Republicans or Democrats view the world. But I'm disappointed, because even though this election is between two distinctly different people with different policies, the national debate around the election has been pretty tedious and lacking in vision, creativity, or thoughtfulness.
It's not a new phenomenon - it only seems so because the media has no historical perspective. There was a furious minority that hated FDR with a passion. Lincoln inspired visceral hatred. Thomas Jefferson did as well. Andrew Jackson was absolutely despised by his political opponents, who spared no expense in the media of the day to make that fact known.
The only difference is that we have the internet and 24x7 media now to let us find like-minded individuals anytime we want. The level of visceral dislike though - not new at all# James Robertson
The level of dislike is not new. James Robertson is correct and has said it better than I. I think that the way the system is setup now, it will be a while before we have a widely liked president. The way that both sides have attacked each other during this election is appalling really. And the truth is , the country is just divided.
Which truthfully if Kerry had run a better campaign, this election would be in the bag. If you ask a Bushie he would say, if it were not for the media, this would not even be a race.
Sadly I actually think that if Bush wins we are heading towards a really bad time for the U.S. If he wins and gets abortion outlawed as he wants, I think that we are heading towards a civil war. I know that it sounds nuts and I need to pull out my tinfoil hat... but I do think that is where this country is heading.

The phenomenon certainly isn't new, but the 24x7 media onslaught certainly is. And that's what seems to be qualitatively different this time around.
Of course, I can't speak for someone back in Jefferson's time, but it seems like back then you could just walk away from it and get some peace, but today I can certainly turn my tv off, but everyone else on the planet isn't and the thought-form of divisiveness is omnipresent and seemingly inescapable.
Maybe a second round of the American Civil War would push things far enough to get people to wake up and stop hating...
It sounds like you and I are in the same boat, Ian. I'm a Reagan Republican who would vote for Bush (I have only a mild dislike for him and for his style), if it didn't also mean voting for his cabinet. I think there are only two people in his administration I would really trust: Rice and Powell.
I still wish Powell had run (and won) in 2000--it certainly would have made my choice easier this year. Unfortunately, I'm left with holding my nose and voting for Kerry now. I've become disgusted with some of the things my party has done over the past four years (within and outside the White House), but I'm even more disgusted with the idea of switching parties...
AFAICT, you're doing the right thing, Tim.
FWIW, any traditional fiscal conservative who would vote for Bush probably needs to read this: http://www.plope.com/Members/chrism/fiscal_fun
I don't normally do politics, but Ian's last paragraph touched a nerve. Viewed from afar (I've just moved from Europe to Australia) the election is not so much between two opposing views but simple variations on a theme. Looking at the policy statements of both candidates they appear to be saying roughly the same things about many issues.
As far as I can tell whoever wins the election will not make a great difference to things like foreign or economic policy. It especially won't alter the jingoistic pronouncements by political leaders and the media or the oxymoronic posturing that says that America is God's own country but dismisses anyone else who makes that claim for their own corner of the globe.
James Robertson is right of course, and in fact it's been MUCH worse at some points in the past.
To also address your point about "lacking in vision, creativity, or thoughtfulness", that's certainly nothing new either although it might be much worse in modern times because TV tends to emphasize "events" rather than rational thought. My hope is the Internet will allow more rational discourse and creativity as it gains wider use and acceptance. I guess it'll either be that or a non-stop X Files type conspiracy mill :/
This won't help settle down the firebrands (because they serve a useful function for the party as motivation to the base), but at least we finally have an arena for real discourse that we haven't had with TV and modern newpapers.

work and leave many people behind.
Saturdays.ai holds on 3 pillars:
to learn in a collaborative way, building social impact
projects, while fostering diversity in tech .
How does it work?
Our flagship program AI Saturdays lasts about 12-15 sessions
of 5h each scheduled on Saturdays so that everyone has an
opportunity to learn while building projects powered by
AI.
All our programs leverage on the best open source content
and tools, which coupled with our custom content and
methodology, sets a solid foundation with a focus on
building social impact and open source
projects. Typically our programs end with a
DemoDay, during which we celebrate what our fellows

Reducing our large OMICs expression set to a simple list of genes eliminates the majority of the signals present in the data. Thresholding will only highlight the strong signals neglecting the often more interesting subtle signals. In order to capitalize on the wealth of data present in the data we need to perform pathway enrichment analysis on the entire expression set. There are many tools in R or as standalone apps that perform this type of analysis.
To demonstrate how you can use Cytoscape and RCy3 in your enrichment analysis pipeline we will use EnrichmentBrowser package (as demonstrated in detail in the workshop Functional enrichment analysis of high-throughput omics data) to perform pathway analysis.

Annotate the Enrichment map to get the general themes that are found in the enrichment results. Often for very busy networks annotating the networks doesn't help to reduce the complexity but instead adds to it. To get rid of some of the pathway redundancy and density in the network create a summary of the underlying network. The summary network collapses each cluster to a summary node. Each summary node is annotated with a word tag (the top 3 words associated with the nodes of the cluster) that is computed using the Wordcloud app.

SOLOMON AND GAENOR A film review by Mark R. Leeper
Capsule: 1911 South Wales is the setting for this tragic love story, a sort of Romeo and Juliet told in the bleak style of Thomas Hardy.  Well-acted and frequently moving. English, Welsh, and Yiddish language. Rating: 7 (0 to 10), +2 (-4 to +4)
The poignant setting is a misty, cold mining town in Wales, 1911. Not unlike the setting of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF the town has two nearby communities, one Christian, one Jewish. In the Jewish community the Lewinsky family is composed of pawnbrokers and cloth merchants. Solomon (played by Ioan) is about twenty years old, good-looking, and enjoys his work as a "pacman"--going into the Christian section leaving samples of cloth and taking orders for larger pieces. When asked, Solomon denies being Jewish, just to escape trouble.
Solomon finds himself particularly attracted to one customer, a woman about his own age Gaenor (Nia Roberts). As he continues to see her, professionally and otherwise, hiding his religion. He takes the name Sam Livingstone. Gaenor is from a family of poor miners. Her very large brother Crad (Mark Lewis Jones) immediately takes a dislike to the stranger who he thinks is less than a man since he does not have callused hands. But Solomon and Gaenor are attracted to each other and are willing to risk the consequences.
The story is very much the star-crossed lover story, but if that was all there was to this film it would be mundane indeed. However, writer and director Paul Morrison does not make this the film expected. First and foremost, the two main characters are not totally blameless in their fates. There is enough fault in the plot so just about everybody gets a piece. It would be very easy to present the Jewish community as blameless and purely the victims of intolerance as well-meaning literature has done since IVANHOE. The Jews do appear more sinned against than sinning, but they are also at fault and have their own intolerance. Gaenor is too fast to accelerate her relationship with Solomon, whom she hardly knows, and then refuses to tell him when she needs his help. Even the countryside comes in for its share of the fault. Instead of the lovely pastoral scenes that usually grace this sort of film, cinematographer Nina Kellgren's camera accents the unpleasant in the climate and locale: the stony landscapes, the cold, the gray mist, the fog, and the snow. People's lives are as bleak as the countryside. Everything in the country seems muted blue and gray. The only bright color is a dress that Solomon sews for Gaenor, red the color of sin and rebellion. Early in the film we see the Welsh taking turns having kitchen baths, using the same dirty water. They sleep two in a narrow bed. The Jewish and Christian community each has its restrictions an intolerance of the other. The Christian religion appears to be as bleak and unforgiving as the landscape, the seem a little more positive. The Jews are given a slight edge here as we see a meeting where they are discussing the importance of understanding the writings of Dickens.
Ioan Gruffudd as Solomon seems a little old to be acting in the irresponsible way that his character does. Gruffudd is best known, to me at least, as a young Horatio Hornblower from a series of TV movies. Of the two, Nia Roberts as Gaenor seems the better actor. She exhibits an odd characteristic of brightening up and being more attractive when Solomon is around. As tales of star-crossed lovers frequently are, this is a story of pain and tragedy. There is more pain in one of Morrison's fist fights than in all of the fighting and shooting and killing in THE MATRIX. Ilona Sekacz's score combines Jewish and Celtic themes, an unusual combination.
SOLOMON AND GAENOR is a textured moody love story and quite worth looking for. I rate it a 7 on the 0 to 10 scale and a +2 on the -4 to +4 scale.

Setting Up
December 28, 2018
Hardware, OS and Shell
I’m using a MacBook Pro which is running MacOS Mojave (10.14.2). My shell of choice is Z, made all glorious by oh-my-zsh.
Installation
I downloaded the latest binary release (go1.11.4
) from the Golang site and installed it at the default location (/usr/local/go
).
I tested my install by following the documentation at golang.org.
Configuration
Based on a recommendation from a friend I started to follow the steps laid out in “How to Start a Go Project in 2018”.
This entailed;
Explicitly setting the GOPATH
environment variable explicitly (I added export $GOPATH="/Users/[my username]/go"
to the bottom of my ~/.zshrc
file),
Adding the $GOPATH/bin
directory to my $PATH
(I added export PATH="$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin"
to the bottom of my ~/.zshrc
file).
It seems that the defaults of this setup has changed over the course of Golang’s evolution because an old book I have from 2012; “The Way to Go” by Ivo Balbert; mentions a bunch of other variables which are still in the go environment but seem to have less precedence. Ivo also wants me to have my Golang programs in a different location, and finally, he kicks everything off by cloning the language source and building it. Luckily this isn’t mandatory.
IDE
At the time of writing, it seems as if Visual Studio code has the best free support for Golang. I’ve installed that and will be trying to use it as my primary dev environment.

The 4 Different Personality Types
My co-founder recently talked about being a socially awkward founder. Supposedly, I'm a "natural" people person. I've learned to become natural through understanding how to effectively communicate with people. It's not that I'm a natural, it's that my parents taught me about personality types when I was young.
They read books about personality and broke down the content to me. This post is that information broken down in an easily consumed format. If you would like to read more I have listed books, with affiliate links, in the reference section.
To understand how to communicate with someone effectively, it's important to understand the concept of personality types. After understanding the high-level personality types, you can triage people within 30 seconds and understand how to communicate with them easier. Note, this is not NLP. That is a discussion for another day.
History
Skip this if you don't care
People types have been around a long time. Originally called the four temperaments by Hippocrates, they establish the four archetypes of people's personalties. It was expanded by Myers-Brigg personality test which is overly complicated.
At any given time someone can be any of the four, but people typically feel most natural in one. The archetype that people fall into is easy to recognize once you understand the four and you can change your posture and language accordingly, once you identify what personality you are dealing with.
The Personalties
Before proceeding, it is important to note that some of the language used to describe the personalties may sound negative. The language that is used should not be looked at in a negative way. One of the personality types is not better than the other three. Each type is just different, and different approaches should be taken to communicate to each of them.
The way I will present the personality types is with the Merrill-Wilson breakdown. There is also Meyers-Briggs (more complex) and the classic Four Temperaments. The Merrill-Wilson has the best ROI. Simple to understand and identify fast.
The four personality types are: Driver, Expressive, Amiable, and Analytical. There are two variables to identify any personality: Are they better at facts & data or Relationships? And are they introverted or extroverted.
- Driver - Fact-Based Extrovert
- Analytical - Fact-Based Introvert
- Amiable - Relationship Introvert
- Expressive - Relationship Extrovert
Note: Most people will have major and minor type. Identify the major type and talk to that type.
Television Examples
Most sitcoms and dramas have each of these personality types represented. With each breakdown of the personalities I will give you an example, that should help give you a full understanding of the character type.
Driver
Drivers are very strong personalities. Typically they have a go-get-it-done or whatever-it-takes personality. They can seem very dominant and are quick to take action. The negative is they can sometimes come across as stubborn or arrogant. Sometimes the personality type can come across as brash, running over others in order to get things accomplished.
Examples
Simpsons
Star Trek
Analytical
Most people reading this blog post from HackerNews will fit with this personality type. Analytical types are constantly assessing, determining pros and cons, making lists of to do items. Analytical types are constantly asking questions, almost to the point of getting too much information. Others see them as talented with brilliant ideas. However, they can suffer from analysis paralysis, over analyzing situations too much. If you have ever made a list of "doing things the right way" you are an Analytical.
Examples
Simpsons
Star Trek
Expressive
"Natural" people persons. They enjoy socializing and talking. They are great story tellers and often over commit themselves by attempting to please people. They also are good at communicating vision, getting others exited about ideas and issues. However, they sometimes cannot be relied upon to get things done.
Examples
Simpsons
Star Trek
Amiable
The most calm, flat-type personality. Amiable types are laid back and are hard to excite. They seem to constantly be relaxed and desire a peaceful environment over anything else. They will go out of there way to to upset people. In fact, their indifference can often upset the people they are trying to appease. They will often wait until the last minute to make decisions and will often go with what everyone else is doing. They are deeply emotional individuals that want harmony.
Examples
Simpsons
Star Trek
Further Reading
If you want to know more about effectively communicating with each personality type, I have included affiliate links to the books my parents used to teach me these concepts. Although, these books are helpful on first read, I read them once a year to remind myself how to effectively communicate my ideas with each of the four different personality types.

High wind gusts could impact Thanksgiving travel, parade
by WABCNEW YORK (WABC) -- Strong winds are likely to add further headaches to Thanksgiving travel and potentially ground some balloons at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
A storm system will move into the Tri-State area on Wednesday. There's not a lot of rain associated with the system, but we can expect a lot of wind.
As the low deepens and passes by, those winds are going to be pretty steady for the parade on Thanksgiving, between 15-25 MPH out of the northwest with higher gusts. We could see wind gusts in excess of 40 and 50 MPH.
The low is passing to the north, so the winds will be stronger in the Hudson Valley than they will be in the city.
The good news is skies will be partly to mostly sunny.

(u, J, c, a, conv_u, conv_J, max_steps=inf, alpha=0.602, A=1.0, gamma=0.101, m=0.0, verbose=False)¶ Uses simulataneous perturbation stochastic approximation [1] [2] to minimize a function J with respect to the vector u. Notation follows the Wikipedia page on the topic at the time of writing.
At each step we perturb our loss function, \(J\), in a random direction \(c_n \Delta_n\), and look at the first-order approximation to the gradient in that direction. \(c_n\) is then allowed to shrink each step. It’s rather like finite difference, but we probe all dimensions simultaneously, so we need only two evaluations of \(J\) instead of the number of dimensions evaluations. Pretty nifty.
Parameter defaults are taken from Spall’s 1998 IEEE paper [3].
Note
The proof of convergence sketched on Wikipedia requires \(J\) to be thrice differentiable, so this might not converge for your problem.
[1] Spall, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control 37 (1992) [2] Maryak, Chin, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control 53 (2008) [3] Spall, IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems 24 (1998) Parameters: - u (np.ndarray) – Initial guess for the vector that minimizes the function J.
- J (function) – The function to minimize. Must take u as an argument and return a scalar.
- c (float) – Initial magnitude of the probing step in u-space.
- a (float) – Initial magnitude of the gradient scalar. Should be > c > 0.
- conv_u (float) – Maximum distance of consecutive best-J u‘s to be considered converged.
- conv_J (float) – Maximum J difference between best-J‘s to be considered converged.
- max_steps (int) – Maximum number of gradient steps to take. (Default is unlimited.)
- alpha (float) – Power at which a decays with iteration, i.e. \(a_n = a_0 / (A + n)^\gamma.\) (Default is 0.602)
- A (float) – Offset for a-decay. (Default is 1.)
- gamma (float) – Power at which c decays with iteration, i.e. \(c_n = c_0 / n^\gamma.\) (Default is 0.101.)

Bank Indonesia to keep rates on-hold after four successive rate cuts - Reuters poll
by Dhwani MehtaThe latest Reuters poll of 24 analysts showed on Monday, most of them see Bank Indonesia (BI), the Indonesian central bank, standing pat on its interest rate decision to assess the impact of the four consecutive rate cuts announced since July.
Key Findings:
“Twenty of 24 analysts in the poll predicted BI would keep the key rate unchanged this week at 5.00%.
Four forecast another 25-bp cut to bolster growth, which slid to the weakest in more than two years in the third quarter.
Analysts are divided over how long the current easing cycle will last, though most agree that it is nearing its end.”
Its worth noting that “BI has cut its benchmark 7-day reverse repurchase rate by a total of 100 basis points (bps) in back-to-back meetings as "pre-emptive measures" to avoid a sharp downturn amid a global economic slowdown.”


Chart Of The Day: With Another Leg Down For Oil, Is $50 Ahead?
Rising U.S. crude inventories, a weakening Chinese economy and an ever-elusive trade deal are setting up oil prices for another fall.
WTI edged down, slipping from a rebound and extending a slide for the third day, for a total loss of 4.25%. The fundamentals are giving bulls a hard time and the technicals are augmenting the case that there's more downside ahead.
API reported yesterday that U.S. inventories rose by 6 millions barrels for the week ending Nov. 15. This latest data exacerbated concerns raised by a Reuters report that Russia will probably not support cutting output further in the next OPEC meeting, Dec. 5-6.
China’s slowing economy has depressed demand too. As a corollary, oil increased over 4% on positive Chinese data back in September.
Prices have also been extremely sensitive to the outlook on a trade deal between China and the U.S. A trade resolution now appears to be even further away after the U.S. Senate passed legislation backing Hong Kong protestors.
From a technical standpoint, the price of crude is showing signs of weakening, as well.
WTI slipped below an uptrend line since the Oct. 3 low, which included sliding below the 100 and 50 DMAs, breaking away below a congestion since Nov. 4, and showing evidence of supply above the 200 DMA.
Both the MACD and the RSI provided sell signals. The former’s short MA fell below the long MA, after reaching an overbought condition. The RSI fell below its own uptrend line, demonstrating that momentum was weakening along with the price.
Should prices remain below the short-term uptrend line, momentum will be to the downside, till the next main support, the $50 level.
The psychological round number has proven a line of demand since early June, keeping the lows flat. The highs, on the other hand, have been declining since late April to September. If the decline continues, the steepening, which has accelerated up until now, could intensify.
The described pattern makes up a descending triangle — one where supply has the upper hand in the balance of powers — a top from the perspective of the $42.36 low registered on Dec. 24, or a continuation pattern, if looking from the point of view of the Oct. 3, $76.90 high. Either way, the implication in both is that if the $50 support gives way, prices are likely to extend lower.
Trading Strategies
Conservative traders should wait for the resolution of the down sloping range since the April high.
Moderate traders may wait for a 2% penetration to $54 and a return move to retest the new, presumed resistance.
Aggressive traders may short after a 1% penetration to avoid a bear trap, then wait for a return move, for a better entry.
Trade Sample
Entry: $56
Stop-Loss: $57
Risk: $1
Target: $53
Reward: $3

Tokyo's Yamanote line partially shutting down Saturday for station construction
by Casey Baseel, SoraNews24TOKYO — Thanks to snarled traffic, trains are by far the best way to get around Tokyo, and you can hit up the vast majority of the downtown sights using just one line. The JR Yamanote line forms a loop around the city center, and can take you to the high-fashion boutiques of Ginza, Akihabara, Ueno’s spacious park, museums, and zoo, and also the Shinkansen access points of Shinagawa and Tokyo Stations.
The Yamanote line is so crucial to life and leisure in Tokyo that it’s never once been shut down for construction since the founding of East Japan Railway in 1987. That streak is coming to an end, though, as the company has announced that roughly a third of the Yamanote line will be out of service starting on the morning of Saturday.
The reason for the disruption is the ongoing preparation for Takanawa Gateway Station, scheduled to open in the spring of 2020 and the first new Yamanote line station since 1971. After the last Yamanote line train pulls into the depot on Friday night, construction crews will begin installing necessary track-switching equipment related to the new station, but will be unable to finish the project by the time of the first morning train. Because of that, on Saturday morning the Yamanote line will be shut down between Osaki and Ueno Stations, with the following 11 stops inaccessible:
● Osaki
● Shinagawa
● Tamachi
● Hamamatsucho
● Shimbashi
● Yurakucho
● Tokyo
● Kanda
● Akihabara
● Okachimachi
● Ueno
Yamanote service for those stations is expected to resume at around 4 p.m. In addition, JR’s Keihin Tohoku line, which will also run through the new station, will be out of operation between Shinagawa and Tamachi Stations, the two stops adjacent to Takanawa Gateway, for the entire day on Saturday.
During the shutdown, JR will be increasing the frequency of trains on its Saikyo and Ueno-Tokyo lines, which provide alternate access to the stations affected by the Yamanote/Keihin Tohoku shutdown.

GoSwiftyM3U8
M3U8 Framework for parsing and handling .m3u8 index files
Installation
Cocoapods
Use something like the following in your Podfile
(some adjustments might be needed depending on the case).
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'GoSwiftyM3U8', '~> 1.0.0'
Afterwards run pod install
from the terminal in the same folder of the Podfile
(for details of the installation and usage of CocoaPods, visit it’s official web site).
It is possible to have multiple pods with different versions of Swift, this might force you to add post install handling in your Podfile
.
Usage Guide
For technical docs please see API. Here are some basic usage examples of usage, there are 2 main ways for using the framework:
- Fetching the playlist text on your own and only use the parser.
- Use
M3U8Manager
to fetch and parse the playlist (a custom playlist fetcher can be provided if needed).
- Another option can be using the
PlaylistOperation
with your own queue and write the logic for fetching whichever playlists are needed.
Using M3U8Parser
A simple example of parsing a playlist:
let playlist = /* your playlist text from local/remote content */
let baseUrl = /* base url for the provided playlist */
let playlistType = /* the type of the playlist, can be: master/video/audio/subtitles */
let parser = M3U8Parser()
let params = M3U8Parser.Params(playlist: playlist, playlistType: .master, baseUrl: baseUrl)
let extraParams = M3U8Parser.ExtraParams(customRequiredTags: nil, extraTypes: nil, linePostProcessHandler: nil) // optional
do {
let playlistResult = try parser.parse(params: params, extraParams: extraParams)
// if our playlist was of type master you can unwrap the result like this:
if case let .master(masterPlaylist) = playlistResult else {
// use masterPlaylist
}
} catch {
// handle error
}
Additional Info:
- The parser is synchronous meaning if you want it on a background queue you will need to handle it.
- The parser can be cancelled but because it is synchronous to be able to cancel the call to
parse()
must be async. - You can reuse the parser object to parser multiple list synchronously.
Using M3U8Manager
M3U8Manager
can fetch and parse single playlist or multiple ones, only media playlists for multiple because we must have master playlist before fetching media playlists.
You can also cancel all manager tasks using cancel()
.
Single playlist handling:
let manager = M3U8Manager()
let playlistFetcher = /* You can use a custom playlist fetcher or nil to use the default one */
let params = PlaylistOperation.Params(fetcher: playlistFetcher, url: playlistUrl, playlistType: playlistType)
let parserExtraParams = M3U8Parser.ExtraParams(customRequiredTags: nil, extraTypes: nil, linePostProcessHandler: nil) // optional
let extraParams = PlaylistOperation.ExtraParams(parser: parserExtraParams) // optional
let operationData = M3U8Manager.PlaylistOperationData(params: params, extraParams: extraParams)
let playlistType = /* the type of the playlist from the result (can be MasterPlaylist.self/MediaPlaylist.self) */
manager.fetchAndParsePlaylist(from: operationData, playlistType: playlistType) { (result) in
switch result {
case .success(let playlist):
// handle playlist
case .failure(let error): // handle the error
case .cancelled: // handle cancelled
}
}
Multiple playlists:
let manager = M3U8Manager()
let playlistFetcher = /* You can use a custom playlist fetcher or nil to use the default one */
let params1 = PlaylistOperation.Params(fetcher: playlistFetcher, url: firstUrl, playlistType: playlistType)
let parserExtraParams1 = M3U8Parser.ExtraParams(customRequiredTags: nil, extraTypes: nil, linePostProcessHandler: nil)
let extraParams1 = PlaylistOperation.ExtraParams(parser: parserExtraParams1)
let operationData1 = M3U8Manager.PlaylistOperationData(params: params1, extraParams: extraParams1)
let params2 = PlaylistOperation.Params(fetcher: playlistFetcher, url: secondUrl, playlistType: playlistType)
let parserExtraParams2 = M3U8Parser.ExtraParams(customRequiredTags: nil, extraTypes: nil, linePostProcessHandler: nil)
let extraParams2 = PlaylistOperation.ExtraParams(parser: parserExtraParams2)
let operationData2 = M3U8Manager.PlaylistOperationData(params: params2, extraParams: extraParams2)
let operationsData = [operationData1, operationData2]
manager.fetchAndParseMediaPlaylists(from: operationsData) { (result) in
switch result {
case .success(let playlists):
// handle playlists
case .failure(let error): // handle the error
case .cancelled: // handle cancelled
}
}

The Presto Foundation is the organization that oversees the development of the Presto open source project. Members of the Presto Foundation provide essential financial support for the collaborative development process, including tooling, infrastructure, and community conferences.
The Presto Foundation joined the Linux Foundation in September 2019.
The Presto Foundation is hosted at the Linux Foundation, the non-profit which hosts the Linux kernel and many other open source projects. Founded in 2000, the Linux Foundation is supported by more than 1,000 members and is the world’s leading home for collaboration on open source software, open standards, open data, and open hardware.
Presto was developed at Facebook in 2012 as a high-performance distributed SQL query engine for large scale data analytics. Presto Foundation will operate under a community governance model with representation from each of the founding members. With this evolution Facebook will be collaborating with the broader ecosystem of users and contributors as one voice in the future of the Foundation.
The Presto Foundation has two main governing bodies: The Governing Board, and the Technical Steering Committee (TSC).
The Governing Board manages the Presto Foundation's funding in support of the Presto open source project. Organizations become members and pay dues, which the Governing Board then allocates. Premier members are entitled to appoint a representative to the Governing Board, and participate directly in funding decisions.
The TSC manages the open source development process, and is responsible for technical oversight of the project. This means continuing the development of Presto as an open source distributed SQL query engine, but also developing documentation, testing, integration, and the creation of artifacts that aid the development process. While the TSC is open for any observer to participate, any contributor to the open source project may, through time, experience, and wise decision-making, be selected by their peers to be a voting member of the TSC.
It is important to note that while participation on the Governing Board is limited to Presto Foundation members, anyone may earn the right to lead the TSC, regardless of their membership status.
For help with anything related to membership (billing, renewals, access to member committees, etc.) please file a ticket with our member service desk. Project community members may also file a ticket to gain access to project resources such as Zoom or shared calendars.
The Presto Foundation has three membership levels: Executive Premier, Premier, and Associate.
Executive Premier and Premier members are entitled to appoint a representative to the Presto Foundation Governing Board and any Presto Foundation committees. In this way, these members are directly involved in policy and funding allocation decisions.
Associate members are limited to Associate Members of the Linux Foundation.
To become a member in the Presto Foundation, an organization must also be a member of the Linux Foundation. Organizations can become members in the Linux Foundation first, or both simultaneously.
Executive Premier membership in the Presto Foundation is $90k annually, in addition to Linux Foundation membership.
Premier membership in the Presto Foundation is $15k annually, in addition to Linux Foundation membership.
There is no cost for Associate membership for qualifying organizations.
Please complete the Presto Foundation application form. If you have any questions, please file a ticket or email membership@prestodb.io.


This is the standard git branching and merging model. Please note that while this is the standard, variations or alterations may be called for in certain projects. If alterations are made, those alterations should be fully documented in the project's documentation and communicated to both the client and to the entire project team.
Initialization
- A new repository is created with a master branch. A stage branch is then created from master. These are the only two lasting branches.
- One Issue per branch
- All commit messages must contain the issue number. This allows us to track work and will automatically associate a work item to a commit.
Master Branch
- The master branch should reflect currently "released" code.
- It should be locked down with write privileges being given solely to the project's designated architect, lead developer and build master.
- The master branch is updated by a merge from the stage branch when preparing for a release.
- The branch should be tagged when a release is performed [release].[sprint].[hotfix].
Stage Branch
- As each feature passes QA, the entire feature branch will be merged into the stage branch.
- The pull request to stage should be opened by a lead or build master with the original developer added as a reviewer to validate all of the changes.
Sprint Branch
- Sprint branches are created from stage at the beginning of each sprint to provide a baseline branch for sprint work.
- Name the sprint branch with the sprint number.
- Example: sprints/sprint-2
Develop Branch
- A new develop branch is created at the start of each sprint at the same time as the sprint branch.
- As tickets are completed, pull requests are created to merge code into the develop branch for QA.
Feature Branches
- Created off the baseline sprint branch
- Name with issue number and in the features folder
- If one feature branch depends on another, branch from them. Never branch from develop
Hot Fix
- In the event of a production hot fix, branch from master into a hot fix branch
- Follow release versioning for branch naming [release].[sprint].[hotfix].
- Once released hot fix will be merged back to master, stage, develop and sprint branches.
Merge Conflicts
- You should never syncronize branches once work has started.
- For example prior to submitting a pull request for a feature branch into develop, DO NOT pull develop into the feature branch first. This has the potential to pollute your feature branch with changes from other features.
- In the event of a merge conflict
- Make a new branch. Example: merge/SH-146
- Resolve conflicts on the fix branch and submit a pull request from there.
- Manually copy changes in the fix branch to your feature branch or they will be lost.

Christian Critic's Movie Parables - http://www.christiancritic.com
THE CIDER HOUSE RULES * * * out of * * * * stars ==========================
DIRECTED BY: Lasse Hallstrom STARRING: Tobey Maguire, Michael Caine, Charlize Theron, Delroy Lindo, Paul Rudd WRITTEN BY: John Irving RATED: PG-13 for mature thematic elements, sexuality, nudity, substance abuse, and some violence SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Proverbs 3:5, Proverbs 28:26, Jeremiah 10:23
It is hard to imagine that a movie which includes abortion and incest as prominent plot devices could be so sensitive, so delicate, so insightful and yes, even so enjoyable. Somehow, THE CIDER HOUSE RULES manages to keep an even keel in the face of the harsh subject matter and allows a substantial amount of heart to shine through.
Set in the 1940's, the film tells the story of a unique young man named Homer Wells (Tobey Maguire, RIDE WITH THE DEVIL). An orphan, twice rejected as an infant by possible adoptive parents, he grows up in the care and under the tutelage of Dr. Wilbur Larch (Michael Caine, LITTLE VOICE), father figure to the orphans of St. Cloud, obstetrician or abortionist to the unhappily pregnant women who come there seeking his help.
Figuring that as long as Homer was going to stay at the orphanage, he might as well be of use, Dr. Larch begins teaching him all he knows about obstetrics.  He refuses to perform abortions, instead wondering why the couples just didn't behave more responsibly. Larch, too old and experienced to have such youthful ideals, marvels that Homer "continues to have such high expectations of people."
Such is the result of an insulated upbringing.  He finally figures that in order to find his place in the world, he must go out into it.
Befriending a young couple who had come to see Dr. Larch, he hitches a ride with them and parlays that into landing a job as an apple picker with a group of black migrant workers at the orchard where they lived. Thus, Homer begins his worldly instruction, with new friend Candy Kendall (Charlize Theron, THE ASTRONAUT'S WIFE) a willing tutor.
Tobey Maguire is well cast yet again as an inherently good man who is seeking answers to life's questions... many of which he was unaware needed to be asked. He demonstrates a quiet strength and thoughtful curiosity that is both warm and appealing.
Michael Caine is, in a word, brilliant as the caring caretaker of these orphans, many of whom he helped to bring into the world. Calling them "princes of Maine, kings of New England" in his ritualistic goodnight, Mr. Caine manages to communicate the love and commitment Larch has towards these children without becoming maudlin or saccharine.
Delroy Lindo (A LIFE LESS ORDINARY) has many powerful moments as Mr. Rose, the strong and charismatic leader of the apple pickers whom Homer joins.
Director Lasse Hallstrom (WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE?) and screenwriter/novelist John Irving (THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP), who adapted his own work for this movie deserve much of the credit for the balanced approach to the sensitive subject matter. Regardless of one's personal stand on the divisive matter of abortion, it is hard to imagine anyone becoming offended by the evenhanded treatment used by these filmmakers.
The title is a reference to a list of rules posted in the quarters of the illiterate apple pickers. Figuring the rules didn't apply to them since they didn't have a hand in writing them, they decide to ignore the list and make up their own rules as they go along. Dr. Larch, in his own way, acts similarly.
There is a danger in that line of reasoning. God has also given us a set of rules. Unlike the list posted in the cider house, God's rules, if followed, promise us benefits beyond our imagination. And yet, many continue to ignore His "rules" preferring to make up their own as they go through life.
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Proverbs 3:5 [KJV]
Just as a builder follows a designer's blueprint or a conductor follows a composer's score, why shouldn't we follow the rules of life given to us by life's architect for our own blessing?

Buhari Administration Committed to Growth of MSMEs — Adebayo
by BankoleMinister for Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, has declared that “Nigeria is open for business!”
Speaking in Asaba, the capital of Delta State during the commissioning of the N1.5billion Wichtech Roof Tile Manufacturing plant in Asaba, the Minister emphasised that the opening of the new manufacturing plant serves as an example to other businesses and investors that the Buhari administration is working to fast-track Nigeria’s Industrial Revolution by creating avenues for more industries and MSMEs to succeed.

“The high-quality roofing tiles that are usually imported will now be manufactured locally in this factory — here in Nigeria. This is a part of this administration’s ‘Made In Nigeria’ policy thrust.
“This new factory will create over 10,000 direct and indirect new jobs for the people of Delta state; potentially drive down the cost of roofing tiles both in the area and across the country — due to the localisation of its production, and help to develop the building materials industry in Nigeria.
“With the countdown to the implementation of the AfCFTA, it is our hope that Nigerian building materials manufacturers, will be dominant players across the continent with the promotion of a free trade zone,” the Minister said.
The Minister also emphasised that the launch of new industries across the nation were in-line with President Buhari’s administration’s agenda to create new jobs and opportunities for more Nigerians; and accelerate both domestic and foreign direct investment in Nigeria, by creating enabling environments for more Nigerian businesses to succeed.

This are some projects I've developed in the past. They are mostly written in Object Pascal/Lazarus, my preferred computer language. I hope they could be useful to somebody.

your
Best Thing:


allowCss3Support
If you wish the plugin should animate always using jQuery animate method even if browser supporst CSS3 animations. Default is
true
css3easing
Works when
allowCss3Support
is set to
true
- for full list click here. Default is
'linear'
easing
Requires jQuery easing plugin. Default is
'linear'
.delayBeforeStart
Time in milliseconds before the marquee starts animating. Default is 1000direction
Direction towards which the marquee will animate
'left' / 'right' / 'up' / 'down'
. Default is
'left'
. Todo: need to change this to ltr/rtl etcduplicated:
Should the marquee be duplicated to show an effect of continues flow. Use this only with the text is shorter than the container. Default is
false
duration
Speed in milliseconds in which you want your text to travel with width of your main container. Default is 5000. This option is the old
speed
option which still works but duration is the more word.gap
Gap in pixels between the tickers. Will work only when the
duplicated
option is set to
true
. Default is
20
Note: 20 means 20px so need to use '20px'
as the value.
pauseOnHover:
on hover pause the marquee. If browser supports CSS3 and
allowCss3Support
is set to
true
than it will be done using CSS3. Otherwise this will be done using jQuery plugin https://github.com/tobia/Pause. Default is
false
pauseOnCycle
on cycle pause the marquee for
delayBeforeStart
milliseconds.Now the plugin with detect if browser supports CSS3 animations than it will animate the element using CSS3 which will perform much better than animating using jQuery.
The
pauseOnHover
also works using CSS3. The plugin just prepares the setup and required CSS3 animation CSS.
Due to some reasons if you want plugin to animate always using jQuery than you need to set
allowCss3Support
option to false. Also an extra option
css3easing
is added.
allowCss3Support=false
as data attribute. Inspect the element and you will see
margin-left
option being changed using jQuery.
