Cycling around Taiwan
This year I finally completed cycling around Taiwan without rest day and without train help. Here are a few details of this trip.
A bit of history
This was my third time going around the island. The first time (2019), since I was just getting to know the roads in Taiwan, I followed what most tourist sites recommend: basically followed cycle route No. 1 with detours for Tainan and Hengchun and take the train to skip the Suhua road (between Hualien and Su’ao).
The second time around (2021), I tried to follow roads close to the coast to complete the outer perimeter and visit the 2 lighthouses in the north and south tips of the island. However, due to weather, I had to trackback my steps from Kenting to cross through Mudan, instead of Manzhou, to Taitung. This time I was talked out of doing the Suhua road, mainly due to uncertainty on the weather forecast. After crossing by train I was a bit regretful because the weather was mostly fine with the exception of the last bit close to Su’ao, but I got to enjoy a more relax ride in the Taroko gorge.
This time around
For this trip, I tried to stick to the coast, which I achieved for the most part, and reach the extreme north-south points of the road (not necessarily the geaographical points).
The equipment
All my trips around the island have been with a light (more like bikepacking) setup. I used my road bike (Merida Scultura 7000E), so I cannot overload. My setup included a seat-pack from Ortlieb and a top-tube bag from Restrap.
The forecast included hot sunny weather in the south and a cold snap and rain for when I was getting close to the north, so I packed accordingly:
- 2 bib shorts
- 2 jerseys (1 short- and 1 long-sleeved)
- 1 merino wool sleeveless base layer
- 1 cycling waterproof jacket
- 1 cycling windbreaker
- 1 arm warmer pair (mostly for the sun)
- 2 leg warmer pairs (one for the sun and one for the cold)
- 2 pair of socks (one for colder and one for hotter weather)
- 1 cycling cap
- Road cycling shoes and rain overshoes
- 1 long sleeve t-shirt (that also served for sleeping and could be used as base layer if needed)
- 1 sports trouser
- 1 pair of trainers (light running shoes is this case)
- A pair of underwear
- Contact lenses and sunglasses
In addition, all the necessary equipment to repair punctures, lube the chain and charge my electronic devices.
Road planning
My trip started in Hsinchu, since it’s where I live, and travelled counterclockwise. I planned to follow the same road as the second try around the island, so mostly around the perimeter, but not necessarily visit the lighthouses because I had done that. As on every attempt I planned my trip around the Chinese New year holiday. This may not be the best time of year to do this trip. First, finding accommodation has to be done well ahead and the prices tend to go up. Also, the weather forecast kind be very uncertain, especially in the north. However, many cyclists choose this holiday for this trip, so it’s easy to find people to ride with.
West coast riding
The west side of the island has the biggest cities and is probably the most boring side (at least nature-wise). Since I visited them the first time around, I followed the coast road to skip most of the hassle of entering the city centre and save time and probably legs (less traffic lights).
The first day I had a strong tailwind. It got a bit dangerous towards the end of the day, when I was crossing through small towns and the buildings produced strong crosswinds which almost pushed me down in my top heavy bike. The road along the Hsinchu and Miaoli coast is a mix of small towns, wetlands on one side and farms on the other and wind farms. After Miaoli, factories and the Taichung harbour dominate the landscape, making it a bit boring, while through Changhua and Yunlin counties farms are more common. Countryside houses have a different charm and sunsets with the sun reflecting in water pools or water in rice paddies are almost perfect for photography. This first day ended in the town of Tuku with a delicious hot chocolate and food around the city temple.
The second day I still enjoyed a bit of tailwind, but the temperature was getting higher. Legs were feeling a bit sluggish at the beginning but by the end they were alright. The landscape on the first half is dominated by water pools for fishing and fishing harbour towns. After entering Tainan County, I visited a couple of huge temples. There are also salt fields that I visited last time around but this time I skipped. I passed through Tainan centre as fast as possible to reach the southern Tainan coast and then the industrial north coast of Kaohsiung ending in the Zuoying district with its popular tourist sites.
The final day on the west coast was hot, down to Kenting, but this was a very comfortable ride. The landscape transitions from industrial to sunny beaches and the ocean next to the right and green mountains to the left. A bit of headwind towards the end was not a problem to take in the landscape and fresh air. As usual during holidays, there was a traffic jam before the road split to Taitung, with some cars invading the cycle/scooter lane. Here I started to see more cyclists, some of them I will encounter later on the trip. At the end of the trip I dropped my bag in the hotel and cycle and walked to the southernmost point of Taiwan.
Distances and maps:
- Day 1: Hsinchu to Tuku: Mainly cycling routes No. 1, 1-4 and 1-5 (178 km)
- Day 2: Tuku to Kaohsiung: Mainly cycling routes No. 1-5 (160 km)
- Day 3: Kaohsiung to Kenting: Cycling routes No. 1, 1-19 and 1-20 (137 km)
East coast riding
The trip on the east coast is probably the most fun and full of green and fresh air. Even in bad weather the landscape is captivating.
The first day on the east coast starts with rain and a bit of wind. The rain dominates the coast between Manzhou and Mudan with a bit dryer conditions when the road goes to the interior. This first half is also characterised by undulating terrain with a larger climb at the end. However after the climb and a good (but cold) descent, the rain stops and the road joins the 9 road so it widens and fills with cars. In this second half the safest thing to do is drive in the hard shoulder together with the scooters. The ocean is a constant on the right hand which can be seen from the top of the few ups and downs along the road. The day ends in Taitung with of my clothes almost dry.
The second day on the east coast starts with a change of plan. Initially I was going to follow the coast road, but the cold snap brought strong winds and rain. In order to save the legs for the last two days (especially the longer last day) I changed to the east riff valley road. Once in the road I quickly realised that this was the best choice, because even with the protection of the coast mountains the headwind was strong and very rainy. The final bridge crossing into Hualien is horrible with the wind throwing small rocks a couple of times. At the end of the day the bicycle is dirty with almost no lube on my chain. Fortunately the motel where I stayed allowed me to use a hose to wash it and I quickly dried my shoes and clothes due to a perfectly positioned closet under the AC. To feed along the road in the next days, I went downtown to buy pastries and mochi in the many stores selling local produce.
For the Suhua road, the weather was not clear but it was favouring a drier day. I have heard different reasons why this sections is usually skipped, including: narrow roads next to cliffs with large trucks travelling up and down, and propensity for landslides particularly in bad/windy weather (once just happened a couple of weeks before my trip and collapsed a covered section between 2 tunnels). With people on holiday, less trucks go around the road during the Chinese New Year, so this seems to be the best season to travel along it. So I join forces with an American cyclist who I met in Taitung and decided to ride it. The cold brought some frost to the tip of the mountains, or at least the ones that can be seen under the clouds that most time cover them. We started the day early to avoid much of the traffic in the first few tunnels which are shared with most of the cars and are more narrow. After these tunnels the road divides between the old coastal one and the new one through tunnels (where bicycles are not allowed). Along the coast we didn’t see many cars, the road was empty for the most part with a few groups of people travelling by scooter. The road has different sections, each one ascending along the cliffs on the coast to then descent into a harbour town until reaching Su’ao. Each section has its own charms, but they all have in common the amazing views of the cliffs and the ocean. The final tunnel of the road is shared with the cars, which come and go in waves. This particular tunnel before the town of Dong’ao is wide and less risky than previous ones, but the descent at high speed is where the knowledge about cycling in Taiwan comes handy. By the time we reach the last section before Su’ao, a bit of rain starts to fall and the final descent is extremely cold, so we looked for some hot soup. After a few kilometers of riding along the coast of Yilan we part ways, and I reach my final destination for the day which welcomes me with a bit of rain.
The last time is the longest one and the longest distance I have travelled ever. It starts with an amazing sunrise out of the coast of Toucheng. Quickly I ride through the east coast of New Taipei and rush through Keelung. Here the road is dotted with fishing villages and geological parks. Once reaching the northern tip of Taiwan, when a bit of headwind starts to develop, a couple of riders pass me but I manage to stick with them and even share time on front to fight the wind. After the undulating terrain of northern Taipei and lunch, I continued solo through the flat road across the coast of Taoyuan.  It is probably also the most boring section together with the Taichung one. It only improves after Yongan Fishing Harbour, which also has a nice bike path through the wetlands and a coastal path both of which I have visited before. Once in Hsinchu, I avoided the traffic through the river bike path, which is constantly improving and used by many people for exercise including some kids sprinting in their road bikes.
After passing the 200 km mark in one day, I felt that I could have continued, but there weren’t more roads to go in this trip.
Distances and maps:
- Day 4: Kenting to Taitung: Cycling route No. 1-20, 1-9, 1 and 1-6 (149 km)
- Day 5: Taitung to Hualien: Cycling route No. 1, 1-14 and 1-15 (167 km)
- Day 6: Hualien to Toucheng: Cycling route No. 1 (135 km)
- Day 7: Toucheng to Hsinchu: Cycling route No. 1 and 1-1 (220 km)

Let’s get the whole “linebreak” thing out of the way. The next paragraph contains two phrases separated by a single newline character:
Roses are red Violets are blue
The next paragraph has the same phrases, but now they are separated by two spaces and a newline character:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Oh, and one thing I cannot stand is the mangling of words with multiple underscores in them like perform_complicated_task or do_this_and_do_that_and_another_thing.
In addition to the changes in the previous section, certain references are auto-linked:
These are dangerous goodies though, and we need to make sure email addresses don’t get mangled:
My email addy is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>In first grade I learned that 5 > 3 and 2 < 7. Maybe some arrows. 1 -> 2 -> 3. 9 <- 8 <- 7.
Triangles man! a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The above header should be an H2 tag. Now, for a list of fruits:
Let’s get crazy:
This is a list item with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus.
Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus. Donec sit amet nisl. Aliquam semper ipsum sit amet velit.
Suspendisse id sem consectetuer libero luctus adipiscing.
What about some code in a list? That’s insane, right?
In Ruby you can map like this:
['a', 'b'].map { |x| x.uppercase }
In Rails, you can do a shortcut:
['a', 'b'].map(&:uppercase)
Some people seem to like definition lists
Maybe you want to print robot
to the console 1000 times. Why not?
def robot_invasion
puts("robot " * 1000)
end
You see, that was formatted as code because it’s been indented by four spaces.
How about we throw some angle braces and ampersands in there?

If you need to blame someone, the best way to do so is by quoting them:
I, at any rate, am convinced that He does not throw dice.
Or perhaps someone a little less eloquent:
I wish you’d have given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it… I’m sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, with all the pressure of trying to come up with answer, but it hadn’t yet…
I don’t want to sound like I have made no mistakes. I’m confident I have. I just haven’t - you just put me under the spot here, and maybe I’m not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one.

Example # 1
This simple example will show how 'Sticky Element' script can be use to make a fixed top navigation bar.
let topMenuBar = new StickyElement({ element: ".stickynav", stickToX: 0, stickToY: 0, scrollTowards: "none" });
- 'element' is the selector name of the html element
- 'stickToY' is the top offset of the position
- 'scrollTowards' which scroll movement will trgger to stick the element. Values can one of these three "none", "down" and "up".


It happens too often that I get disconnected from a shell connection after a while of inactivity with message Write failed: Broken pipe
.
To prevent this, simply put:
Host *
ServerAliveInterval 30
in your ~/.ssh/config
(OS X) or /etc/ssh/ssh_config
(Linux) file.
This will make sure that null packet will be sent every 30 seconds (you can edit the interval) to the server to keep the connection alive.

Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell had secret Buckingham rendezvous
by Laura ItalianoPrince Andrew apparently just can’t quit accused Jeffrey Epstein procurer Ghislaine Maxwell.
The reckless royal secretly met with Epstein’s former gal pal at Buckingham palace in early June, the Daily Mail reported.
The hush-hush tete-a-tete came just two weeks after US prosecutors announced they were reopening an inquiry into Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking operation — a probe that could well involve both Andrew and Maxwell.
The FBI wants to interview Andrew about his ties to Epstein, who committed suicide in a Manhattan federal prison in August.
Maxwell, who has been named in civil suits by multiple Epstein accusers as helping to keep him supplied with young women and underage girls, is assumed to be in hiding.

The domestic cat is a small, typically furry, domesticated, and carnivorous mammal.
They are often called house cats when kept as indoor pets or simply cats when there is no need to distinguish them from other felids and felines.[6] Cats are often valued by humans for companionship and for their ability to hunt vermin. There are more than 70 cat breeds; different associations proclaim different numbers according to their standards. The International Progressive Cat Breeders Alliance (IPCBA) recognizes 73 cat breeds while TICA (The International Cat Association) recognizes 58, CFA (The Cat Fanciers' Association) recognizes 44 and Federation International Feline (FIFE) recognizes 43.[7]
Cats are similar in anatomy to the other felids, with a strong, flexible body, quick reflexes, sharp retractable claws, and teeth adapted to killing small prey. Cat senses fit a crepuscular and predatory ecological niche. Cats can hear sounds too faint or too high in frequency for human ears, such as those made by mice and other small animals. They can see in near darkness. Like most other mammals, cats have poorer color vision and a better sense of smell than humans. Cats, despite being solitary hunters, are a social species and cat communication includes the use of a variety of vocalizations (mewing, purring, trilling, hissing, growling, and grunting), as well as cat pheromones and types of cat-specific body language.[8]


How do neurons become allocated to a memory trace and how can we manipulate their activity to understand memory?
How are remote memories organized in the cortex, and what the molecular and cellular events that underlie their consolidation?
What is the contribution of new neurons to hippocampal memory function. In particular we are interested in how new neurons regulate clearance of memories from the hippocampus (or forgetting).

In this post, I'm going to discuss padding, borders, and margins. What are they? How do they work? How do you use them in your website design? To illustrate, let's take a look at the box model.
The Box Model
In an HTML document, all elements are represented as boxes. In CSS, the "box model" is used in design and layout. What is this box model anyway? It's basically a box that surrounds HTML elements. It's made up of four parts:
1. Content: Positioned in the middle of the box. This is where text and images appear. Can set a background color to it.
2. Padding: Surrounds the content. Background color of the box is applied to it. Can set size for top, right, left, and bottom.
3. Border: Surrounds the padding. Can specifically set a border color, width, and style (ex. dotted, dashed, solid).
4. Margin: Surrounds the border. It does not have a background color; it's totally transparent. Can set size for top, right, bottom, and left.
It is important to factor in all of these parts when calculating the full width of an element in CSS.
For example:
The total width of this element is 250px. Did you think it was 225px?
Let's break it down:
200px (width of content)
+ 10px (5px for left padding + 5px for right padding)
+ 10px (5px for left border + 5px for right border)
+ 30px (15px for left margin + 15px for right margin)
=250px
So,
Total element width = width + left padding + right padding + left border + right border + left margin + right margin
Hopefully this helps your understanding of padding, borders, and margins. Now get to work on that website you're building!


JavaScript is case sensitive. That means that the variable names "house" and "House" are different and can be used as two seperate variables.
;
) to mark the end of a line of code. However, some interpreters do not need this at every end of line. For instance if the last line in a code block is a return statement, it will be executed even without a semicolon:
function x() { a = 1; return a // no ";" needed }
The syntax for comments in JavaScript is the same as in C/C++. Single line comments can be made by inserting two slashes (//
) and everything that comes after this in the same line will be interpreted as a comment.
Multiline comments can be made by putting /*
before and */

Dropping Out (2000, R)
Directed by Mark Osborne
Written by Kent Osborne
Starring Kent Osborne, David Koechner, Vince Vieluf, Adam Arkin, John Stamos, Katie Segal, Fred Willard, Doug Savant, Jennifer Elise Cox
As Reviewed by James Brundage
Emile (Kent Osborne) is a pretty humble guy. He just wants one simple thing out of his life: for it to be just as picture-perfect as the TV. The opiate of the masses known as television is Emile's drug of choice as he wanders through the world of the nicotine-stained San Fernando Valley. Everything is, as in the television, just fine and dandy until one day a squirrel lands on Emile's cable, disconnecting it. So, confronted with an absolute dearth of television reception, Emile decides to slit his wrists.
From there on in, we enter into one of the funniest and most meaningful dark comedies since Happiness. You see; Emile's suicide attempt is interrupted by a call from the manager of a hotel, at which Emile begins to work the night shift.  He also requests that Henry will send the tape to Emile's ex-girlfriend and clean up after the act.
Henry decides to bring in Andrew , a Hollywood wannabe to help him with the mess, only to discover that Emile has repeatedly flubbed what he wanted to say to his girlfriend. Andrew, upon looking at these flubs, begins turning Emile's suicide into a full blown documentary. Pretty soon, everyone is in on it. The entire hotel staff has quit their jobs to be on the production crew of the film. A major Hollywood studio has signed on to pay for trailers for Emile and the crew… not to mention provide 35mm cameras (rather than Mini-DV, the format that Andrew had originally been using).
Of course, since Emile's entire desire to end his life was because his life wasn't like the movies, Emile must now deal with the desire to live… and his so-called friends' reactions if he does.
Premise alone could carry this movie to side splitting laughter from a college or teenager target audience, and premise serves to provide for some of the darkest lowbrow comedy I have ever seen (i.e. Henry draws a diagram on the correct way to slit one's wrists while Emile helps a terrified hotel patron check out), but the script has some more surprises in store for us.
The film takes every opportunity to scathe the Hollywood system, to boost the power of the Independent revolution, and to take on America's obsession with fake reality (better known as `reality based television shows'). The maxim `if it bleeds, it leads' is especially prevalent when, at one point, the studio pressures Andrew to ensure that Emile actually not only goes through with the suicide, but also provides Andrew with a gun for Emile to use.
Beyond this absolute mastery over the narrative, director Mark Osborne (who did the Academy-Award nominated short More) serves up a technically brilliant film. Making use of the same tactics as Blue Velvet and Happiness, Osborne over-lights sequences in which Emile imagines his television world in order to make them especially removed from reality, and then under-lights the `reality' so that it takes on a nicotine-stained quality. He switches from slow-motion to regular time with absolute ease, giving the impression at times that we are watching an extremely sick and twisted version of a Nuclear family TV show.
The fact of the matter is that Dropping Out is one of those films so absolutely great that everything you end up saying is either clichéd or repetitive. The performances were great. The direction was great. The script was great.  It is a must-see. It is brilliant. It is all of the other spiels that a critic says when they are forced to make blurbs and sound intelligent, and when all they really want to do is convince someone to go and see it.

E
- the Collidable
typepublic class SapTree<E extends Collidable> extends AbstractAABBDetector<E> implements BroadphaseDetector<E>
This implementation maintains a red-black tree of Collidable
s where each update
will reposition the respective Collidable
in the tree.
Projects all Collidable
s on both the x and y axes and performs overlap checks
on all the projections to test for possible collisions (AABB tests).
The overlap checks are performed faster when the Interval
s created by the projections
are sorted by their minimum value. Doing so will allow the detector to ignore any projections
after the first Interval
that does not overlap.
If a Collidable
is made up of more than one Shape
and the Shape
s
are not connected, this detection algorithm may cause false hits. For example,
if your Collidable
consists of the following geometry: (the line below the Shape
s
is the projection that will be used for the broad-phase)
+--------+ +--------+ | | body1 | | body1 | | | shape1 | | shape2 | | y-axis projection | | | | | +--------+ +--------+ | ------------------------- x-axis projectionSo if following configuration is encountered it will generate a hit:
+--------+ | +--------+ | body2 | +--------+ | | | body1 | | shape1 | | body1 | | | | shape1 | | | | shape2 | | | y-axis projection | | | | | | | | +--------+ | | +--------+ | | +--------+ | ---------- ---------------------------------- x-axis projectionThese cases are OK since the
NarrowphaseDetector
s will handle these cases.
However, allowing this causes more work for the NarrowphaseDetector
s whose
algorithms are more complex. These situations should be avoided for maximum performance.| Modifier and Type | Class and Description |

Here I implement the logistic regression solver described here to verify if the IRLS algorithm is what we look for. This note focuses on implementing the single SNP case. Multi-SNP implementation will be implemented in Python with pytorch
so that it can take advantage of GPU.

asubsequences
(array, seq=2, axis=0)[source]¶ Return sub-sequences of an array
This returns a new array with leading dimension seq representing a length seq sub-sequence of the input array. The following dimensions are preserved except for axis, which is seq - 1 shorter due to edge effects. This method returns a view, so no data copying happens.
- Parameters
array (ndarray) – Array to take subsequences over.
seq (int, optional) – Length of subsequences to take.
axis (int, optional) – The axis to treat as the sequence to take sub-sequences of.
-

-
gameanalysis.utils.
axis_to_elem
(array, axis=- 1)[source]¶ Converts an axis of an array into a unique element
In general, this returns a copy of the array, unless the data is contiguous. This usually requires that the last axis is the one being merged.
- Parameters
array (ndarray) – The array to convert an axis to a view.
axis (int, optional) – The axis to convert into a single element. Defaults to the last axis.
-
gameanalysis.utils.
check

comb
(n, k)[source]¶ Return n choose k
This function works on arrays, and will properly return a python integer object if the number is too large to be stored in a 64 bit integer.
-
gameanalysis.utils.
comb_inv
(cmb, k)[source]¶ Return the inverse of comb
Given a number of combinations, and the size of subset we’re choosing, compute the integer lower bound, i.e. return n* such that comb(n*, k) <= cmb < comb(n* + 1, k).
-
gameanalysis.utils.
game_size
(players, strategies)[source]¶ Number of profiles in a symmetric game with players and strategies
-

game_size_inv
(size, players)[source]¶ Inverse of game_size
Given a game size and a number of players, return a lower bound on the number of strategies s* such that game_size(players, s*) <= size < game_size(players, s* + 1)`.
-
gameanalysis.utils.
geometric_histogram
(num, prob)[source]¶ Return the histogram of n draws from a geometric distribution
This function computes values from the same distribution as np.bincount(np.random.geometric(prob, num) - 1) but does so more efficiently.
-
gameanalysis.utils.
is_sorted
(iterable, *, key=None, reverse=False, strict=False)[source]¶ Returns true if iterable is sorted
- Parameters
iterable (iterable) – The iterable to check for sorted-ness.
key (x -> y, optional) – Apply mapping function key to iterable prior to checking. This can be done before calling, but this ensures identical calls as sorted.
reverse (bool, optional) –
and reverse function as they for sorted (key) –
-
gameanalysis.utils.
iunique
(iterable)[source]¶ Return an iterable of unique items ordered by first occurrence
-

(min_length, max_length=None, digits='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')[source]¶ Return a random string
- Parameters
min_length (int) – The minimum length string to return.
max_length (int, optional) – The maximum length string to return. If None or unspecified, this is the same as min_length.
num (int, optional) – The number of strings to return. If None or unspecified this returns a single string, otherwise it returns a generator with length num.
digits (str, optional) – The optional digits to select from.
-
gameanalysis.utils.
subsequences
(iterable, seq=2)[source]¶ Return subsequences of an iterable
Each element in the generator will be a tuple of seq elements that were ordered in the iterable.
-
gameanalysis.utils.
timeout
(seconds=None, exception=<class 'TimeoutError'>)[source]¶ Timeout code
A TimeoutError is raised if code doesn’t finish within seconds. The result can be used as a decorator or as a context manager. This will work in child threads, but as a significant performance hit.
- Parameters
seconds (int, optional) – The number of seconds until timeout. If omitted, no timeout is used, and this is essentially a no op
exception (Exception, optional) – The exception to raise. IF omitted, a generic TimeoutError is used.


This bar is the main navigation tool for creating and managing inventory for your needs. Items on this bar which have the < symbol to their right have additional options.
In this manual we will walk through the uses of the sidebar options for version 1.1 of this program. We will walk through how to set up authorized administrators, create events, products, merchandise, add-on options, party packages, discounts, adding images to events and more.
To access calendar click through the main option Calendar - highlighted green. In Calendar you can set up event products with stock, price, and deposit.
Click +Create Event in top left corner:

Use start and end date to set a start and end time for the Event Product that you are creating
Description Field:
Spaces is a keyword that creates stock movements (be that available timeslots, or people - you name this quantity later)
This will create an option to repeat event daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
If you would this to be a one time event, keep the drop down menu at do not repeat.
Repeat by weekday, or by amount of days between events when on the daily setting.
Alter the event to occur weekly on chosen days through the weekly drop down menu
Monthly repeats: once a variable of months on a chosen date of the month.
Yearly repeats: once a variable of years on a chosen date of the year.
There is an option for repeating the event for a certain timeline.
Never: Event will auto-populate for 2 months in advance, and will continue to add new events every two months beyond that as the date rolls over.
After: the event ends after a given amount of occurrences.
Choose a Date: select a date for the repeating event to end.

| SUMMARY: INNER | FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD | DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD |
java.lang.Object | +--org.apache.commons.lang.builder.HashCodeBuilder
Assists in implementing Object.hashCode()
methods.
This class enables a good hashCode
method to be built for any class. It
follows the rules laid out in the book
Effective Java
by Joshua Bloch. Writing a good hashCode
method is actually quite
difficult. This class aims to simplify the process.
All relevant fields from the object should be included in the
hashCode
method. Derived fields may be excluded. In general, any
field used in the equals
method must be used in the hashCode
method.
To use this class write code as follows:
public class Person { String name; int age; boolean isSmoker; ... public int hashCode() { // you pick a hard-coded, randomly chosen, non-zero, odd number // ideally different for each class return new HashCodeBuilder(17, 37). append(name). append(age). append(smoker). toHashCode(); } }
If required, the superclass hashCode()
can be added
using appendSuper(int)
.
Alternatively, there is a method that uses reflection to determine
the fields to test. Because these fields are usually private, the method,
reflectionHashCode
, uses AccessibleObject.setAccessible
to
change the visibility of the fields. This will fail under a security manager,
unless the appropriate permissions are set up correctly. It is also slower
than testing explicitly.
A typical invocation for this method would look like:
public int hashCode() { return HashCodeBuilder.reflectionHashCode(this); }

Seven signs your pet may have diabetes
Diabetes management could be complicated for pets, as they require regular insulin injections in addition to dietary restrictions.
by Lifestyle DeskDiabetes is a lifestyle disease that affects over 350 million people. Since diabetics need to ensure that their blood sugar level is always under control, they are forced to adapt lifelong management techniques to keep complications at bay. If left untreated, diabetes can be a precursor to other serious health issues like heart diseases, eye problems, kidney disorders, etc.
But it is not only humans, pets too are no stranger to this illness. “There is a strong possibility that cats, dogs and other pets can be affected by diabetes. Unlike humans, it might be relatively difficult to manage the disease in pets by keeping their blood sugar levels under control,” says Rosie Paul, founder and chief operating officer, WoofWoofNow.
Here are seven signs that would help pet owners recognise their pet’s diabetes.
1. Frequent urination
This condition is known as polyuria and occurs due to the problems in renal function. This is one of the primary symptoms of diabetes in pets. This can be monitored by observing their behaviour, especially at night. If the pet urinates more than once during the night, it is time to do a check for diabetes.
2. Excessive thirst
If your pet is drinking excess water, then it is advisable to run a diagnosis. There is a possibility that pets need extra water during specific seasons and after certain activities. However, polydipsia would mean excessive consumption compared to the normal levels — a sign which should not be missed.
3. Loss of appetite / excessive hunger
Diabetes affects the standard functioning of the body as the food is not properly converted into energy. This means that there would be changes in your pet’s appetite. This, however, might differ due to various factors. Some animals suffer from appetite loss and do not consume even the basic levels, while some pets may feel extremely hungry and demand excess food.
4. Lethargy
Is your pet suffering from lethargy and refusing to go out for a walk? Is he/she disinterested in playing with their favourite toy? Then it is time to consult a veterinarian. Diabetes can lead to pets feeling lethargic and drained of energy.
5. Vomiting
Vomiting is a sign of sickness in pets. But if your pet vomits continually, it could be a symptom of diabetes.
6. Weakness
Like humans, pets can feel weakness in their muscles and joints. Owners can recognise the same when their pet struggle to do simple tasks. Pets could also lose their muscles and weight if they have diabetes.
7. Eye problems
Diabetes affects the nervous system of the pets, causing eye damage. Their vision could become blurry, and they would have difficulty in seeing things even close to them. It is prudent to have a yearly eye check-up to be on the safer side.
“All diseases in humans and animals can be treated effectively if caught early. The issues become complicated at a later stage, making it highly challenging to manage. Diabetes does not cause death in general. However, it can lead to other health concerns that are quite dangerous. Diabetes management could be complicated for pets, as they require regular insulin injections in addition to dietary restrictions. The owners must have a thorough understanding of the various pet conditions to aid them to seek timely help. Some symptoms are similar to humans, and it is difficult to avoid it. Consult with your veterinarian or an expert to know more about the subject,” adds Paul.
*Disclaimer: Similar symptoms as mentioned above can be for other reasons as well, it’s best to consult a veterinarian all times etc.*

mini-mARVin
Learn MoreThe goal of our project was to create a wirelessly-controlled miniature tactical unmanned ground vehicle (TUGV), which can can determine its own location, as well as obstacle locations, in its environment. These locations can then be plotted on a laptop-based graphical user interface (GUI). After encountering accuracy issues with the IMU and sonar sensors, we were unable to complete all of our goals. However, we did accomplish relative localization of mini-mARVin within an enclosed environment using IMU heading and lidar. The location of mini-mARVin was successfully plotted on the GUI interface after being sent to the laptop over WiFi. Additionally, keyboard control of mini-mARVin was enabled through the GUI. If you would like to read more about our project, please explore the rest of this webpage!
Get Started!Determine mini-mARVin's position in the environment by using lidar and IMU sensors
Reliable TCP communication between mini-mARVin and computer station for data transfer and motor control
Wirelessly control mini-mARVin with keyboard inputs through the GUI
Graphical user interface developed so users can easily connect to mini-mARVin and navigate the environment with visual queues
Localization is achieved by utilizing the heading data from the IMU and measurements from the LiDAR. Based on the heading, two walls are chosen, and the servo turns the LiDAR to face those walls. The servo has a range of 180 degrees therefore in most situations it can only face two walls. The LiDAR then takes a measurement of the distance to the two walls. Based on which walls are hit the LiDAR calculates the x and y position. For example, if the distance to wall 4 is chosen then the x coordinate is 77cm – the distance. This localization approach is constrained by the accuracy of the IMU. If the heading angle from the IMU is very inaccurate than the coordinates calculated will be off significantly.
IMU is set up as following.
Enable I2C instructions
Added two lines : I2c-dev ; I2c-bcm2708. Then update /boot/config.text
Add to the bottom: dtparam =i2c_arm = on ; dtparam = i2c1 = on
Reboot, Connect I2C components, check for component address with i2cdetect
Based on I2C address from step above, change address in LSM9DS0.py
There are two parts to the GUI: one window begin TCP communication with mini-mARVin; the second showing mini-mARVin's location in environment. The GUI was developed using the pyQT5 libraries.
Motor control was implemented using an h-bridge motor driver, Tamiya Dual Gearbox motors, and WiFi communication with the GUI. Through the GUI, the user can control mini-mARVin using 'w', 's', 'a', 'd', and 'q' key presses for forward, back, left, right, and stop, respectively.
Hardware Components: Raspberry Pi 3, 4 ultrasonic sensors (optional), TFMini LiDAR, HS-422HD servo, H-Bridge, LSM9DS0 IMU, Tamiya Dual Gearbox Motors, battery pack with DC barrel jack adaptor to power motors, USB power bank to power the RPi, and a wheeled vehicle body ready accomodate the necessary parts
Software Components: Python 3 libraries, pyQT5 libraries, and gpiozero raspberry pi library

Australia is incredibly wast and therefore presents enormous challenges to travel and get around. Even more so if you do not own a car. Visiting every major place is challenging especially if assignments are to be done and exams are to be sit. However small weekend get-aways are still possible and semester breaks lend itself for greater trips.

On this map I pin every place I have explored for a longer time. Hopefully it will be adequatly covered the moment my time is finished in Australia.


Would it be possible to implement a method (through a button or similar) to apply a given camo to all unlocked weapons and to all vehicles? As it is now, keeping camos consistent through all the equipment is an extremely daunting task.
Also, will it ever be possible to see (and maybe even change) soldier camos in the Battlelog? Right now it can only be done ingame.

This is now natively integrated in Battlelog.

 023 * A general warning about possible problems with the entity body. 024 * 025 *
Example
 026 *
 027 * Warning: 199 Miscellaneous warning 028 *
 029 * 030 *
RFC2616 Specification
 031 * 032 * The Warning general-header field is used to carry additional information about the status or transformation of a 033 * message which might not be reflected in the message. 034 * This information is typically used to warn about a possible lack of semantic transparency from caching operations 035 * or transformations applied to the entity body of the message. 036 * 037 *
 038 * Warning headers are sent with responses using: 039 *
 040 * Warning = "Warning" ":" 1#warning-value 041 * warning-value = warn-code SP warn-agent SP warn-text 042 * [SP warn-date] 043 * warn-code = 3DIGIT 044 * warn-agent = ( host [ ":" port ] ) | pseudonym 045 * ; the name or pseudonym of the server adding 046 * ; the Warning header, for use in debugging 047 * warn-text = quoted-string 048 * warn-date = <"> HTTP-date <"> 049 *
 050 * 051 *
 052 * A response MAY carry more than one Warning header. 053 * 054 *
 055 * The warn-text SHOULD be in a natural language and character set that is most likely to be intelligible to the human 056 * user receiving the response. 057 * This decision MAY be based on any available knowledge, such as the location of the cache or user, the 058 * Accept-Language field in a request, the Content-Language field in a response, etc. 059 * The default language is English and the default character set is ISO-8859-1. 060 * 061 *
 062 * If a character set other than ISO-8859-1 is used, it MUST be encoded in the warn-text using the method described in 063 * RFC 2047. 064 * 065 *
 066 * Warning headers can in general be applied to any message, however some specific warn-codes are specific to caches 067 * and can only be applied to response messages. 068 * New Warning headers SHOULD be added after any existing Warning headers. 069 * A cache MUST NOT delete any Warning header that it received with a message. 070 * However, if a cache successfully validates a cache entry, it SHOULD remove any Warning headers previously attached 071 * to that entry except as specified for specific Warning codes. 072 * It MUST then add any Warning headers received in the validating response. 073 * In other words, Warning headers are those that would be attached to the most recent relevant response. 074 * 075 *
 076 * When multiple Warning headers are attached to a response, the user agent ought to inform the user of as many of them 077 * as possible, in the order that they appear in the response. 078 * If it is not possible to inform the user of all of the warnings, the user agent SHOULD follow these heuristics: 079 *
 080 *
Warnings that appear early in the response take priority over those appearing later in the response. 081 *
Warnings in the user's preferred character set take priority over warnings in other character sets but with 082 * identical warn-codes and warn-agents. 083 *
 084 * 085 *
 086 * Systems that generate multiple Warning headers SHOULD order them with this user agent behavior in mind. 087 * 088 *
 089 * Requirements for the behavior of caches with respect to Warnings are stated in section 13.1.2. 090 * 091 *
 092 * This is a list of the currently-defined warn-codes, each with a recommended warn-text in English, and a description 093 * of its meaning. 094 *
 095 *
110 Response is stale MUST be included whenever the returned response is stale. 096 *
111 Revalidation failed MUST be included if a cache returns a stale response because an attempt to revalidate 097 * the response failed, due to an inability to reach the server. 098 *
112 Disconnected operation SHOULD be included if the cache is intentionally disconnected from the rest of the 099 * network for a period of time. 100 *
113 Heuristic expiration MUST be included if the cache heuristically chose a freshness lifetime greater than 101 * 24 hours and the response's age is greater than 24 hours. 102 *
199 Miscellaneous warning The warning text MAY include arbitrary information to be presented to a human user, 103 * or logged. A system receiving this warning MUST NOT take any automated action, besides presenting the warning 104 * to the user. 105 *
214 Transformation applied MUST be added by an intermediate cache or proxy if it applies any transformation 106 * changing the content-coding (as specified in the Content-Encoding header) or media-type (as specified in the 107 * Content-Type header) of the response, or the entity-body of the response, unless this Warning code already 108 * appears in the response. 109 *
299 Miscellaneous persistent warning The warning text MAY include arbitrary information to be presented to a 110 * human user, or logged. A system receiving this warning MUST NOT take any automated action. 111 *
 112 * 113 *
 114 * If an implementation sends a message with one or more Warning headers whose version is HTTP/1.0 or lower, then the 115 * sender MUST include in each warning-value a warn-date that matches the date in the response. 116 * 117 *
 118 * If an implementation receives a message with a warning-value that includes a warn-date, and that warn-date is 119 * different from the Date value in the response, then that warning-value MUST be deleted from the message before 120 * storing, forwarding, or using it. 121 * (This prevents bad consequences of naive caching of Warning header fields.) 122 * If all of the warning-values are deleted for this reason, the Warning header MUST be deleted as well. 123 * 124 *

SCOTTISH SUN SAYS
The SNP’s climate crusade is undermined by the number of domestic flights taken by government transport officials
by Scottish SunBARELY a day goes by without the SNP hailing their climate crusade.
Net-zero carbon emissions are promised by 2045. They’re “world-leading” targets, we’re repeatedly told.
And a major part of achieving this aim will come from cutting transport emissions.
Well, let’s hope someone has told the rest of the Scottish Government.
Because, as ever, it also seems like a case of one rule for them, and another for the rest of us.
We learned yesterday that Scottish Government transport officials had taken nearly 900 domestic flights in five years.
That’s despite its own internal guidance encouraging staff to use the “greenest and most cost-effective” transport methods available.
And the numbers of domestic flights by the Government shows no sign of coming down.
This all comes a matter of months after The Scottish Sun revealed how chauffeur-driven trips by SNP ministers had hit a record high.
It doesn’t look great, at a time when the green agenda permeates every major statement from the First Minister.
In response, we got a load of waffle from Transport Scotland about how officials were always “mindful of their carbon footprint” and “try to strike a balance”.
Crucially, there was no explanation of why so many flights were needed for travelling within the UK, as opposed to, say, taking the train.
Predictably, at a time when emissions need to come down, we get nothing but hot air.
Bad choice
WE already knew Labour were struggling for reputable election candidates.
Earlier this month we told how a dozen wannabe MPs had already become embroiled in slur scandals. But it seems the desperation runs even deeper.
Now, we find Scottish Labour’s latest poster boy — fronting an election video on social media — has a dubious track record, including a conviction for thuggish behaviour during rioting in London in 2010.
Bryan Simpson also threw an infamous Margaret Thatcher “death party” in Glasgow city centre in 2013.
Many, many, Scots — understandably — had little time, if any, for Mrs Thatcher.
But hundreds of people doing a conga around George Square to celebrate the death of an old woman seems as unseemly today as it did six years ago.
It’s this kind of extreme and unsettling behaviour that dogs Labour under Jeremy Corbyn. The aggressive brand of politics employed by hard-left firebrands is alien to the moderate majority.
It’s one of the reasons Labour are polling at 12 per cent in Scotland — and could lose all but one of their seven MPs here.
And why the bookies make Mr Corbyn a rank outsider to win a majority at the December 12 election.
