Binance DEX Can now be Accessed on Trezor Crypto Wallet
by Christine VasilevaBinance DEX will now be available on the Trezor wallet, opening a new doorway for trading crypto assets. This also expands the presence of Binance as a hub for all crypto-related services.
Crypto Users Control Their Private Keys
Trezor offers both an agile access to multiple crypto assets, and a hub to control the hardware wallet. This combines a secure approach to cold storage, which keeps the private key offline while letting users quickly access their stored coins.
Binance DEX is one of the fastest-growing decentralized exchanges, adding to the influence of the brand. The DEX is global and permissionless and relies on Binance Chain for its operations. Binance DEX also has its native stablecoins, based on the British pound and the US dollar.
It has already registered volumes above $1.24 million, becoming one of the largest decentralized marketplaces. By partnering with Trezor, the assets remain fully controlled by the user until the final transfer of funds.
The addition of Binance DEX would also be a boost to BNB, the native asset of the exchange. The coin has remained one of the bigger winners and has shown stability during market setbacks. BNB currently trades at $20.23, up as much as 10 times since the lows in December 2018.
The DEX already offers 87 verified coin and token pairings, giving liquidity to most tokens sold through the Binance Launchpad. The network also carries synthetic versions of Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, which can transact on the exchange’s blockchain and represent the actual value of their underlying assets, BTC and BCH.
Binance DEX Not Accessible for All Countries
Binance DEX allows connections via the site for three other hardware wallets, Ledger, CoolWallet, and SafePal wallet. Only Trezor was left to be added.
Based on the tutorial published, Trezor users will have to go through the Binance.org website, using a specially created web wallet as an intermediary. This may block some users from 29 countries that may aim to use the DEX.

MY JOURNEY TO LUXOR (January 5 -12, 2005) PHOTOS AND TEXT, IS NOW HERE.
February 14, 2005
I'm
spending less time on the blog and more time on the gnovel (number one priority
for this year) but the Egypt travelogue is by no means finished. Natalie is
complaining that I haven't mentioned her in my report. She says she's the one
who was Hatshepsut, not me, because a cartoon can't be reincarnated. Oh but
you're wrong, I reply. In ancient Egypt the
Ba, an entity somewhat similar to what we call soul,
was a cartoon and could assume various forms. I was Hatshepsut's cartoon soul,
obviously, and still am. But to keep N quiet, below is a pic of her in our hotel
room with a bottle of Barak, the local mineral water. Yes, she did come along
on this journey but you already knew that, didn't you?

HATSHEPSUT'S OBELISK AND A REFLECTION ON SELF-ESTEEM
To end today's rumination here is a great quote I found at Esther's naturally nice blog:
Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. (St. Francis of Assisi)


Pokémon Sword And Shield Is Japan's Fastest-Selling Switch Game
Over 1.3 million copies sold
by Damien McFerranWhile Pokémon is unquestionably a worldwide phenomenon, it's especially popular in its native Japan, as the first sales figures for Pokémon Sword And Shield can attest.
The latest mainline entry in the series has sold 1,364,544 physical copies in its first three days of release. that impressive total includes boxed units – (both Sword, Shield and the double pack) and download cards, but does not factor in digital sales, so the actual number is bound to be much higher.
That stunning opening means that Pokémon Sword And Shield has beaten the previous fastest-seller in Japan, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – which cleared 1.23 million units in the same timeframe.
Just like in the UK, the release of Sword and Shield has given Switch hardware figures a welcome boost, too. A whopping 180,136 Switch systems were sold between November 11th and 17th. However, it's worth noting that around 100,000 more were sold in the week that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launched.
In short, Sword and Shield have provided Nintendo with yet another smash hit – and plenty of forward momentum as we head into the holiday season.

My name is Khalil and I've actually started my bachelor's degree in computer science and aiming on completing it as fast as I can to move on to greener pastures.
I haven't done much with my life yet but I'm planning to leave a legacy behind when I'm gone. I also do not have any job experience in a relevant field but I've been working as a clerk at a distributor.
I actually fell in love with programming very early on life, wanting to know how programs were made, I obviously didnt know what programming was but I was curious and that has brought me to where I am today and I'm loving every moment of it.
I have quite the passion in learn about software development and just IT in general.I've quite a number of hobbies when I'm not trying to code. I will start by mentioning my favourite of hobbies that always gets me going is football and I'd like to believe I'm pretty good at it. Some of my other hobbies include swimming, chess(always freshens my mind), basketball and quite recently table-tennis


Display
The BrainPad display is an output device. The BrainPad has commands allowing you to display numbers and text and draw simple pictures and shapes. These shapes including points, lines, circles and rectangles. All display commands use pixels (screen dots) as units.
Display commands in this section only change the memory buffer of the display and are not seen until you also call the BrainPad.Display.RefreshScreen() method.
BrainPad.Display.Height()
- returns the BrainPad display's height in pixels (64).BrainPad.Display.Width()
- returns the BrainPad display's width in pixels (128).BrainPad.Display.DrawSmallNumber(int x, int y, long number)
- Displays a number of type long in small text at the given x and y coordinates. [Example:BrainPad.Display.DrawSmallNumber(10, 20, 52)
]BrainPad.Display.DrawSmallNumber(int x, int y, double number)
- Displays a number of type double in small text at the given x and y coordinates.BrainPad.Display.DrawNumber(int x, int y, long number)

TL;DR version
- Hello World
- RESTful using Express and Mongodb
- Middleware integration
- Authentication
- Uploads
- Command-line integration
- JSON serialized actions
What is an Action ?
An action is used to implement evalutations that can be performed accross multiple domains
const Mebo = require('mebo');
const express = require('express');
@Mebo.grant('cli')
@Mebo.grant('web', {restRoute: '/sum'})
@Mebo.register('sum')
class Sum extends Mebo.Action{
constructor(){
super();
this.createInput('valueX: numeric');
this.createInput('valueY: numeric');
}
async _perform(data){
return data.valueX + data.valueY;
}
}
// Command-line support: node . sum --value-x=5 --value-y=2
if (Mebo.Handler.get('cli').isSupported()){
Mebo.Handler.get('cli').init();
}
// Web support: node . (http://localhost:8080/sum?valueX=5&valueY=2)
else{
const app = express();
// providing Mebo's restful support
Mebo.Handler.get('web').restful(app);
// starting the server
const port = process.env.PORT || 8080; // set our port
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`listening on port ${port}!\n`);
});
}
What is an Input ?
The data used for the execution is held by inputs which are defined inside of the Action. They are implemented with a wide range of verifications which make sure that the value held by them meets the necessary requirements for the execution of the action.
Mebo comes bundled with the inputs types:
| Type | Data Example |
|---|---|
| Bool | true |
| Numeric | 10 |
| Text | 'Test' |
| FilePath | /tmp/someFile.txt |
| Url | http://www.google.com |
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>|
|
| Ip | <IP_ADDRESS> |
| Timestamp | new Date() |
| Hex | ffff00 |
| Hash | d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e |
| UUID | 10ec58a-a0f2-4ac4-8393-c866d813b8d1 |
| Version | 0.1.12 |
| Stream | new stream.Writable() |
| Buffer | new Buffer([2, 3, 4]) |
| Any | {a: 1, b: 2} |
You can easily implement your own type, if you are interested take a look at the input inplementations bundled with Mebo
Creating inputs
Inputs are created using a syntactic sugar that describes their name and type (aka TypeScript), for instance:
class Sum extends Mebo.Action{
constructor(){
super();
this.createInput('valueX: numeric'); // <- Input
this.createInput('valueY: numeric'); // <- Input
}
async _perform(data){
return data.valueX + data.valueY;
}
}
Any input can be defined as a vector by using the short array syntax []
:
this.createInput('myInput: text[]');
Additionally, you can specify if an input is optional (not required) by adding
?
beside of the input name:
this.createInput('myInput?: text[]');
Input properties
Properties are used to drive the behaviour of the input, each input type has their own set of properties
For instance, setting the minimum and maximum allowed number of characters
this.createInput('myInput: text', {min: 8, max: 16});
Another example, making sure the file exists and also file size does not exceed the maximum allowed
this.createInput('myInput: filePath', {exists: true, maxFileSize: 1024 * 1024});
Checkout the input documentation to know the available properties
Custom input verifications
You may need verifications that are very related with the action that is hosting the input. Mebo lets you to implement custom verifications for any input without having to implement a new input type. It's done by using the extendedValidation callback.
Mebo binds this
with the input instance, so you can access all information you need as
any validation that's bundled with the input.
const Mebo = require('mebo');
@Mebo.register('myAction')
class MyAction extends Mebo.Action{
constructor(){
super();
// the third argument can be defined as extendedValidation callback
this.createInput('a: text', {}, function(at=null){
// my custom validation
console.log(this.name());
return Promise.resolve(true);
});
}
}
How to execute actions ?
Executing an action a registerd action
const myAction = Mebo.Action.create('myAction');
myAction.input('myInput').setValue('Some Text');
// executing the action
console.log(await myAction.run());
Executing from Web
First we need to tell our Action to be available through web requests, it's done by webfying them:
Decorator support:
// In the registration of the action add the handler support:
@Mebo.grant('web', {auth: true})
@Mebo.register('myAction')
class MyAction extends Mebo.Action{
// ...
}
Registration api:
class MyAction extends Mebo.Action{
// ...
}
Mebo.Action.register(MyAction, 'myAction');
Mebo.Handler.grantAction('web', 'myAction', {auth: true});
You can enable authentication prior to the execution of any action, this is done
by webfying the action with the option auth=true
:
// In the registration of the action add the line bellow
Mebo.Handler.grantAction('web', 'myAction', {auth: true});
Also, you can tell if the action is visible by the restful support, by defining
a route for it restRoute='/api/myAction'
.
// In the registration of the action add the line bellow
Mebo.Handler.grantAction('web', 'myAction', {auth: true, restRoute: '/api/myAction'});
When an action requires auth you need to tell what is the passport
authentication that should be used for the webfied actions flagged with auth=true
,
this is done by adding a middleware that gets executed before the action
const passport = require('passport');
Mebo.Handler.get('web').addBeforeAuthAction(passport.authenticate('...'));
Alternatively a custom authentication method can be defined per handler basis, if you are interested checkout about the Web Handler
Calling the action through middleware
// adding add a middleware which is going to execute the action
const app = express();
app.get('/xxx', Mebo.Handler.get('web').middleware('myAction', (err, result, req, res) => {
if (err) return next(err);
res.send(`result: ${result}`);
}));
Executing it
https://.../xxx/myInput=test
Calling the action through REST
When webfying an action you need to define the rest route that should be used to access the action.
// webfying an action with support for rest requests
Mebo.Handler.grantAction('web', 'myAction', {auth: true, restRoute: '/api/myAction'});
// adding the rest support to the express app
const app = express();
app.use(Mebo.Handler.get('web').restful());
Executing it
https://.../api/myAction?myInput=world
Mebo responses the rest request using JSON following google's json style, for the example above the response would be:
{
"data": "hello world",
"apiVersion": "0.1.1"
}
File uploads
Uploads are fully supported, since Mebo abstract the web specifics any FilePath input that's available through an action webfied by either POST or PUT becomes automatically an uploader field. When the action is executed the input gets assigned with the path about where the file has been uploaded to.
Calling actions from a serialized JSON form
Mebo lets you to postpone an action execution by baking them into JSON, it can be used for console operations
const myAction = Mebo.Action.create('myAction');
myAction.input('myInput').setValue('Text');
// serializing the action into json
actionA.bakeToJSON().then((json) => {
// re-creating the action
const myAction2 = Mebo.Action.createFromJSON(json);
// executing it
return myAction2.run();
}).catch((err) => {
throw err;
});
How to share data between actions ?
Mebo shares data between actions using a Session, for futher details please checkout the Session Documentation
How to configure Mebo ?
The basic configuration can be found under Settings, for futher details please checkout the Settings Documentation


Prism has a benchmark suite which can be run and extended similar to the test suite.
npm run benchmark
By default, the benchmark will be run for the current local version of your repository (the one which is currently checkout) and the PrismJS master branch.
All options
in benchmark/config.json
can be changed by either directly editing the file or by passing arguments to the run command. I.e. you can overwrite the default maxTime
value with 10s by running the following command:
npm run benchmark -- --maxTime=10
To run the tests only for a certain set of languages, you can use the language
option:
npm run benchmark -- --language=javascript,markup
Remotes all you to compare different branches from different repos or the same repo. Repos can be the PrismJS repo or any your fork.
All remotes are specified under the remotes
section in benchmark/config.json
. To add a new remote, add an object with the repo
and branch
properties to the array. Note: if the branch property is not specified, the master
branch will be used.
Example:
{
repo: 'https://github.com/MyUserName/prism.git',
branch: 'feature-1'
}
To remove a remote, simply remove (delete or comment out) its entry in the remotes
array.
A case is a collection of files where each file will be benchmarked with all candidates (local + remotes) and a specific language.
The language of a case is determined by its key in the cases
object in benchmark/config.json
where the key has to have the same format as the directory names in tests/languages/
. Example:
cases: {
'css!+css-extras': ...
}
The files of a case can be specified by:
Specifying the URI of files. A URI is either an HTTPS URL or a file path relative to ./benchmark/
.
cases: {
'css': {
files: [
'style.css',
'https://foo.com/main.css'
]
}
}
Using extends
to copy all files from another case.
cases: {
'css': { files: [ 'style.css' ] },
'css!+css-extras': {
extends: 'css'
}
}
The output of a benchmark might look like this:
Found 1 cases with 2 files in total.
Test 3 candidates on tokenize
Estimated duration: 1m 0s
The first few lines give some information on the benchmark which is about to be run. This includes the number of cases (here 1), the total number of files in all cases (here 2), the number of candidates (here 3), the test function (here tokenize
), and a time estimate for how long the benchmark will take (here 1 minute).
What follows are the results for all cases and their files:
json
components.json (25 kB)
| local 5.45ms ± 13% 138smp
| PrismJS@master 4.92ms ± 2% 145smp
| RunDevelopment@greedy-fix 5.62ms ± 4% 128smp
package-lock.json (189 kB)
| local 117.75ms ± 27% 27smp
| PrismJS@master 121.40ms ± 32% 29smp
| RunDevelopment@greedy-fix 190.79ms ± 41% 20smp
A case starts with its key (here json
) and is followed by all of its files (here components.json
and package-lock.json
). Under each file, the results for local and all remotes are shown. To explain the meaning of the values, let's pick a single line:
PrismJS@master 121.40ms ± 32% 29smp
First comes the name of the remote (here PrismJS@master) followed by the mean of all samples, the relative margin of error, and the number of samples.
The last part of the output is a small summary of all cases which simply counts how many times a candidate has been the best or worst for a file.
summary
best worst
local 1 1
PrismJS@master 0 1
RunDevelopment@greedy-fix 1 0


Mucho Gracias!
I appreciate your feedback! I can't wait to discover what more Chitaco has to offer :)

Dr. Gene ScottYou're
watching Dr. Gene Scott's program, already in progress. "You ever meet Christians? You wish you could shove a pipe in their mouth.   There he is again: puffing a cigar, harassing a visibly shaken staff, delivering hateful missives against the FCC. He's the Bill Hicks of adult preachers, cracking jokes with impeccable timing and delivery.  His tight, thin-lipped sneer and shocking blue eyes make you wonder if you personally aren't his next target. Few can turn themselves away from this man's power. The Dr. Gene Scott suite of programs is broadcast in eight languages, in 180 countries, over radio and television stations twenty four hours a day throughout the world. There's even a live Internet video stream. While other pastors denounce homosexuality, abortion, adultery, profanity and drinking, Scott refuses to condemn such behavior. He leaves worshipers free to make their own choice without coercion. "I don't ask you to change when you come here," he instructs the congregation. "I take you as you are, as God takes me as I am." His personal enterprises run the gamut, across the Bishop Dr. Gene Scott Corporation, Dr. Gene Scott Incorporated., Dr. Gene Scott Consultants Incorporated, Gene Scott Travel Incorporated, W. Eugene Scott, Ph.D. Incorporated, the Gene Scott Evangelistic Association, the Wescott Christian Center, the Los Angeles University Cathedral, Faith Center, the Faith Broadcasting Network, and the University Network - among others. When he was younger, Doctor William Eugene Scott kinda-sorta resembled actor Michael Moriarty. Over time, his appearance changed before our eyes. His hair grew longer, his beard fluffed out, his voice developed an insistent gravel.  Only instead of singing about knowing when to fold, he plays the saxophone, taking time out to call lesser musicians like Bill Clinton "honkers." Dr. Scott wants you to get on the telephone and hand over ten percent of your weekly income. The average member's contribution is reportedly $350.00 a month. "I want 300 people to give $1,000 by June 30 to humiliate Satan's efforts to destroy us," Dr. Scott commanded in a Web site missive. "I also want 700 to commit to $10,000 by Christmas. I've been trying to lighten the staff load for five years! I won't take responsibility for things I have no assurance I'll ever see!" The price of membership is steep, and measured in what he calls first fruits: returns on any form of income (an investment, a pay raise, a second job, a tax refund, Lotto winnings). If you're out of work, you give the first week's unemployment check. For non-givers, Dr. Scott warns: "If you get too smart with God, he might let you live this next year without him so you can see the difference." People listen and obey, to the tune of uncounted millions each year. "Closet" watchers of The Festival of Faith at one point included Johnny Carson, Art Carney, Gene Hackman, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Burt Reynolds. They'd sit around in a group watching Dr. Scott, and then call the number on the screen. Celebrities were enthused: this was unlike anything they'd ever seen on television program, and the host was charismatic. "In every way possible within the boundaries of God's word," Dr. Scott says, "I have tried to separate from the television evangelists' image. Television evangelism has become a phrase that can only become analogized to nigger, kike, beaner and other epithets designed to demean and create a perceptual set of a lesser-quality being." Dr. Scott enjoys chauffeured limousines, Lear jet travel, a mansion in Pasadena, a fleet of racing-horse ranches, and round-the-clock bodyguard protection. Dr. Scott is - without question - the greatest living minister and religious instructor on television, but nothing infuriates him more than to be lumped alongside the likes of Jerry Falwell, Jim Bakker or Jimmy Swaggart. In fact, he sued Time magazine for referring to him as a televangelist. In 1980, celebrated German director Werner Herzog was so taken with Dr. Scott that he made him the subject of a TV documentary. God's Angry Man showcases Scott's ability to collect several hundred thousand dollars in less than half an hour. It was a film slanted toward monomania and American malaise, and largely a piece about greed and currency. Talking quietly about his personal and professional life, Scott seems a genuine and even vulnerable person. But on television, Dr. Scott becomes Mr. Hyde - coaxing, cajoling, exhorting, pleading and even whining. When he reads off the dollar amounts phoned into the Festival of Faith, not one contribution is less than three figures. During a particularly slow night, Scott will become so angry he chooses to punish his audience by refusing to say another word. The tension among the pledge-break phone volunteers in the blue-hued broadcast studio is palpable. "A skinflint may get to Heaven, but what awaits him are a rusty old halo, a skinny old cloud, and a robe so worn it scratches. First-class salvation costs money." Herzog sketches an intelligent, exhausting, intense man who harangues his listeners to send in their money. Off camera, Dr. Scott seems convincingly lonely and vulnerable, but ever driven toward the Lord's work. One minute he's quoting scriptures, the next he's blasting the Russians. "Nuke 'em in the name of Jesus!" he bellowed at viewers during the Gulf War. Dr. Scott spends weeks and months at a time on marvelously conspiratorial topics: the Pyramids, Atlantis, Roswell UFO's, Stonehenge, the Amityville poltergeists - even the Philadelphia Experiment. During Sunday sermons, Scott admonishes his congregation not to seek God's blessing from a priest, the Pope or a place of worship. "And you're sure not going to get it from a motel with Jimmy Swaggart," he cracks. "I'm not selling forty-pound Bibles, or water from Jordan, or 4,000 plastic crosses made by the Japanese and sold to Arabs. I don't send out 'healing cloths' or tear up my shirt. I say: what's what I've done worth?  I'm not trying to save anybody. I think if you reject Christianity, you should do it intelligently." Dr. Scott insists that he has no property, investments, stocks or bonds - and that everything he owns is in the name of the church. His contract calls for a $1 annual salary, plus unlimited expenses. He refuses to open the church's books to the scrutiny of independent auditors or follow accounting safeguards. He's defeated repeated attempts by the federal government to examine his church's operations simply by directing contributors to sign pledge slips which specifically state Dr. Scott can spend the money however he likes. Sometimes, he'll preach about his cigar recommendations. "Not the least of the reasons I like Costa Rican cigars is the ease with which you can remove its label. How many times have you removed a label in order to smoke the last part of the cigar (the best part) and had it tear the cigar wrapper? Try one with the Maduro wrapper for a rich mellow taste. And remember: never inhale cigar smoke." Wanna go to his church and watch him do his thing in person? Sorry, members only. Glenn F. Buntin, from his Times essay on what it's like to be there:
When the curtain begins to rise, congregation members leap to their feet and cheer wildly. Before them appears their master. After several seconds of enthusiastic applause, a rock band belts out praise to Jesus as Scott sits impassively on a blue-cushioned stool until the singing ends. Among the tunes Scott occasionally orders up is "Kill a Pissant for Jesus." He writes in red, blue, green and black felt pens, using the different colors to strike previous markings instead of using an eraser. Within an hour, his whiteboard is streaked with arrows, circles, lines and indecipherable words that become nearly impossible to follow. The lecture suddenly is reduced to a mind-numbing blur which virtually forces the audience to accept his ecclesiastical monopoly. The donation plates come out. Dr. Scott doesn't have to remind them what to do. They'll tithe, or they can all look forward to "sliding down the slimy chute straight to Hell." Dr. Gene Scott died of a stroke on 21 February 2005 in Los Angeles. He was 75. |

How to work through these tutorials
How should a new coder approach these tutorials?
Tech Requirements
If at any time you have issues installing anything, don't hesitate to contact me.
- Python 2.x
- Mac OS X and Linux often ship with Python installed. To check, open up a terminal, type
python --version
, and if you get an error message, or if your version is older than 2.7, go ahead and install or update. - Windows does not automatically come with Python installed, and must be downloaded from the website.
- Mac OS X and Linux often ship with Python installed. To check, open up a terminal, type
- A text editor. Some options include:
- Sublime Text 2 for Mac, Linux, or Windows
- gEdit for Linux
- NotePad++ for Windows
- TextMate for Mac
- git installed
- Optional but suggested: a GitHub or BitBucket account to upload, display, and share your code.
Knowledge Requirements
- Have worked through something like Learn Python the Hard Way, Dive into Python, Codecademy or others that teach syntax. No need to complete any/all of these introductory resources, but the tutorials will not walk you through the basics of Python syntax.
- Want to continue to learn Python and/or learn to code.
Haven't worked through any of the above resources? It's okay – feel free to do these tutorials as well, but have patience for yourself and don’t be shy on using Google or referring to those resources for syntax help.
Purpose of these tutorials
Each tutorial is meant to be worked through in the order presented, but can be skipped if not challenging enough:
- Data Visualization
- APIs
- Web Scraping
- Networks
- GUI
Each tutorial can stand on its own, but gently advances in development topics that a new coder may not be exposed to when trying to learn on his/her own. It‘s okay to get bored, frustrated, distracted, etc. Life happens. The tutorials will still be here for when you return – just be sure to save your progress.
Code for these tutorials may not be the most Pythonic — it’s meant to teach.


Molecular characterisation of two alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency variants: proteinase inhibitor (Pi) Null(Newport) (Gly115----Ser) and (Pi) Z Wrexham (Ser-19----Leu).
Two single point mutations in the alpha-1-antitrypsin gene, resulting in AAT deficiency, have been characterised in heterozygotes by DNA amplification and direct sequencing. The mutations result in amino acid substitutions, Gly115----Ser and Ser-19----Leu, in the leader sequence, respectively, and have been designated Pi Null(Newport) and Pi Z Wrexham. In the two families studied the mutations occur on chromosomes which also carry the common mutation causing Z deficiency. Individuals with such a deficiency are, therefore, compound heterozygotes. It is not known if these particular mutations would only cause a mild form of AAT deficiency in the absence of the Z mutation as they do not appear to cause predictable folding abnormalities. They do, however, result in severe deficiency when the Z mutation occurs in the same gene.

Pims are stuck in pimbo—help them out by directing them to collect the parts they need to become whole again.
Ghosts will need to collect skulls to claim a body, and then they'll become zombies! Then collect the glowing life that matches the color of its soul to bring the Pim back to it's true form.
The Pims won't know what's around them when they aren't themselves, so you'll need to direct them. Click the ghost or zombie to prime (!) them, and to direct them according to your control. They won't pay attention for long, and you must keep nudging them.
Clear all the pims on the field to clear a round.

About Us
The Competitive Programming Club is about doing ridiculously difficult problems within unfairly short time limits. Our focus is contests such as the ACM ICPC, Google Codejam, and Facebook Hacker Cup. We have weekly meetings where we practice problems, discuss algorithms, cry over the parts we didn’t understand, figure things out, and celebrate with free pizza.
Club Aims
- To improve the ability of our members to implement algorithms using programming languages such as C++, JAVA, Python, etc. by organising classes on various important concepts.
- To increase the participation and performance of students at CodeForces, CodeChef and other coding platforms.
- To host various coding competitions in order to prepare for various competitions like ACM-ICPC, Google Code Jam and likewise.
- To provide a forum for the discussion of theory and applications of algorithms.
Events
Dementia
Dementia is the annual competitive coding contest conducted as part of Techno-Cultural fest Exodia on CodeChef and is rated for Division-2. It consists of problems of varying difficulty and covering wide concepts of data structures and algorithms.
CodeEniacs
CodeEniacs is competitive coding contest served along snacks and prizes for top performers, organised only for freshers and is meant to involve very basic to medium-hard problems in order to familiarize students with the level of questions encountered in contests on online platforms and their format.
AlgoHack
AlgoHack is an intra-college contest where participants are given problems as well as incorrect solutions (having bugs) to the problems. The participants have to find out test cases where the given solutions would fail to produce correct output/execute within the time limit. It teaches you to read and understand others code and find bugs.
CodeGolf
CodeGolf is a recreational programming challenge in which teams of size 6-8 have to not only solve questions correctly but also writing code using as few characters possible. The right code with minimum keystrokes is all thats required to win.
URI Competition
When a freshman enters IIT Mandi, he/she might not be comferable with highly complex problems of competitive programming. To get them familiar with competitive programming and get started with the basics, we organise month long event. At the end top performers get cool prizes.
Codeforces Challenge Series
Two codeforces challenge series are conducted annually, one in each semester. Challenge Series consists of 4-6 codeforces rounds and the rankings are calculated from GP15 scoring system which is based on AtCoder GP30 scores.
ICPC
The International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is a yearly computer programming competition for college students from all over the world. It consists of three tiers in India: an online contest, a regional contest and the world finals. In each contest, three-person teams get five hours (three for online contest) to solve as many problems as they can from a given problem set on one computer. Each problem set has historically had 8 to 10 problems, which tend to be applicable to real-world situations with solutions that are intended to use a wide variety of algorithms. The top finishing teams in online round can go to participate in regionals, and the top teams there can represent India at the World Finals. The IIT Mandi teams participate each year in ICPC and train rigourously with the help of the club competitions and sesisons. IIT Mandi usually has three to five teams to the regional contest. You may also contact current Programming Club coordinators for more information.

I'm Sara, an entrepreneur, digital marketer and web development beginner. My aim is help to others and offer best solution in the market.
I'm a technology enthusiastic and I enjoy spend time through several devices. I love social networks and connect with my friends. That's why I'm Community Manager. I'm starting programming because I feel so interested in, specially in CSS3.
I love writing front-end formation code with Code School. HTML and CSS is a introductory for learning basic code for web development. But, HTML5 and CSS3 is a current language mostly used. My mains skills are:
If you are interested in my services, contact with me through my social networks:


The first thing you have to learn, is HTML, which is the standard markup language for creating web pages.
The next step is to learn CSS, to set the layout of your web page with beautiful colors, fonts, and much more.
After studying HTML and CSS, you should learn JavaScript to create dynamic and interactive web pages for your users.

Imagine all the resource record sets in a zone listed out in front of you. Imagine them sorted lexicographically first by DNS name (with the labels reversed, like "com.amazon.www" for example), and secondarily, lexicographically by record type. This operation retrieves at most --max-items resource record sets from this list, in order, starting at a position specified by the Name and Type arguments:
Use list-resource-record-sets to retrieve a single known record set by specifying the record set's name and type, and setting --max-items = 1
To retrieve all the records in a HostedZone, first pause any processes making calls to ChangeResourceRecordSets. Initially call list-resource-record-sets without a Name and Type to get the first page of record sets. For subsequent calls, set Name and Type to the NextName and NextType values returned by the previous response.
In the presence of concurrent change-resource-record-sets calls, there is no consistency of results across calls to ListResourceRecordSets. The only way to get a consistent multi-page snapshot of all RRSETs in a zone is to stop making changes while pagination is in progress.
However, the results from list-resource-record-sets are consistent within a page. If MakeChange calls are taking place concurrently, the result of each one will either be completely visible in your results or not at all. You will not see partial changes, or changes that do not ultimately succeed. (This follows from the fact that MakeChange is atomic)
The results from list-resource-record-sets are strongly consistent with ChangeResourceRecordSets. To be precise, if a single process makes a call to change-resource-record-sets and receives a successful response, the effects of that change will be visible in a subsequent call to list-resource-record-sets by that process.
list-resource-record-sets
--hosted-zone-id <value>
[--start-record-name <value>]
[--start-record-type <value>]
[--start-record-identifier <value>]
[--max-items <value>]
The ID of the hosted zone that contains the resource record sets that you want to get.
The first name in the lexicographic ordering of domain names that you want the list-resource-record-sets request to list.
The DNS type at which to begin the listing of resource record sets.
Valid values: A | AAAA | CNAME | MX | NS | PTR | SOA | SPF | SRV | TXT
Values for Weighted Resource Record Sets: A | AAAA | CNAME | TXT
Values for Regional Resource Record Sets: A | AAAA | CNAME | TXT
Values for Alias Resource Record Sets: A | AAAA
Constraint: Specifying type without specifying name returns an InvalidInput error.
--start-record-identifier (string)
Weighted resource record sets only: If results were truncated for a given DNS name and type, specify the value of ListResourceRecordSetsResponse$NextRecordIdentifier from the previous response to get the next resource record set that has the current DNS name and type.
The maximum number of records you want in the response body.

I don't know about any of you but I can live without seeing another crime picture, especially in this post-Tarantino age. A story about a criminal avenging the death of his daughter from other criminals should not inspire much thought or excitement. But in the hands of the extraordinary director Steven Soderbergh ("Out of Sight," "Sex, Lies and Videotape"), "The Limey" transforms its paper-thin premise into pure excitement and examines it up close with an extraordinary actor at its center, Terence Stamp.
Stamp stars as the "limey" (slang for a British person, particularly a sailor) otherwise referred to as Wilson, a former criminal released from prison who comes to L.A. in search of his daughter, Jenny (introduced in Wilson's voice-over at the beginning). She is presumed to be dead, possibly killed by a former record producer named Valentine (Peter Fonda, thriving on his "Ulee's Gold" streak). Stamp is relentless in his pursuit, actively waging a war to find the truth. He is lean, mean and vicious...and apparently ignorant of modern society. There's a wonderfully sly scene where he discovers that the men outside of Valentine's grand palace are not bodyguards but valets.
"The Limey" could be a late-night movie of the week or an HBO drama at best if it were not for Soderbergh's flashy direction or Stamp's vulpine charms. He is the heart and soul of the film, supplying both subtle humor and crafty, suggestive mannerisms. Stamp has one great scene after another: whether he is smoothly speaking to an old flame, bashing heads at a factory, throwing people over balconies, or having flashbacks of his daughter, or trying to explain in a thick Cockney accent the turmoil of his life to a police investigator. There is nothing this man can't do - he makes the film eminently watchable.
As in "Out of Sight," Soderbergh cleverly and astutely flashes back and forth between one scene to the next, utilizing freeze-frames and different backdrops while whole conversations take place. This is not a new feat of cinematic interpretation - think back to Godard's wildly jump-cutting scene-shifting in the groundbreaking "Breathless." It is also an added plus to insert footage from Stamp's 1967 film "Poor Cow" throughout, not to mention allusions to Peter Fonda's "Easy Rider" by playing "Magic Carpet Ride." "The Limey" is all about allusions to the past, as we follow Wilson on his path to discover the truth of his daughter's possible demise.
"The Limey" also benefits from a great supporting cast, always a necessity in a L.A. noir story. There is the Lesley Ann Warren as the old flame, the terrifically funny Luis Guzman, and, aging like fine wine, Barry Newman as a corrupt aide to Valentine. With a stirring conclusion, wonderful compositions, and a full fledged character study at its center, "The Limey" stands along side "Jackie Brown" as an exemplary look at the seedy, laid-back lifestyles of Los Angeles.

The nation made its debut at the 1900 Summer Olympics. Canada competes under the IOC country code CAN. Canada has hosted the Summer Olympic Games once, in 1976 in Montreal, and the Winter Olympic Games twice, in Calgary, Alberta in 1988 and Vancouver, British Columbia in 2010. Canada has sent athletes to every Winter Olympic Games and almost every Summer Olympic Games since its debut at the 1900 games with the exception of the 1980 Summer Olympics, which it boycotted. Canada has won at least one medal at every Olympics in which it has competed. The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) is the National Olympic Committee for Canada. At the 2010 Winter Olympics, which was hosted in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the country won more gold medals than any other competing nation for the first time. The chart below shows the total number of medals won each year.
Because of their proximity and similar sporting cultures, Canada and United States are frequent rivals in a wide variety of international sports. In the Winter Olympics, both the United States and Canada have won the medal table once, while the US is ranked second in the all time Winter Olympic table, with Canada ranked fifth. In the Summer Olympics, the United States has won the medal count 17 times, compared to zero for Canada. The United States is ranked number 1 in the all time Summer Olympic medal table, while Canada is ranked number 20. Based on results in Olympics, World Championships, and other major competitions for respective sports, the United States is more successful than Canada in American football, baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, golf, swimming, athletics, boxing, lacrosse, shooting, diving, wrestling, rowing, gymnastics, sailing, cycling, weightlifting, water polo, archery, equestrian, volleyball, beach volleyball, fencing, triathlon, judo, taekwondo, figure skating, snowboarding, speed skating, alpine skiing, and bobsleigh among others, while Canada is better all time in ice hockey and curling, and slightly better in rugby.
Ice hockey tournaments have been staged at the Olympic Games since 1920. The men's tournament was introduced at the 1920 Summer Olympics and was transferred permanently to the Winter Olympic Games program in 1924, in France. The women's tournament was first held at the 1998 Winter Olympics.
In the men's tournament, Canada was the most successful team of the first three decades, winning six of seven gold medals. Czechoslovakia, Sweden and the United States were also competitive during this period and won multiple medals. Between 1920 and 1968, the Olympic hockey tournament was also counted as the Ice Hockey World Championship for that year. The Soviet Union first participated in 1956 and overtook Canada as the dominant international team, winning seven of the nine tournaments in which they participated. The United States won gold medals in 1960 and in 1980, which included their "Miracle on Ice" upset of the Soviet Union. Canada went 50 years without a gold medal, before winning one in 2002, and following it with back-to-back wins in 2010 and 2014. Other nations to win gold include Great Britain in 1936, the Unified Team in 1992, Sweden in 1994 and 2006 and the Czech Republic in 1998. Other medal-winning nations include Switzerland, Germany, Finland and Russia.
Out of 501 total medals canada has 137 gold medals out of all categories. The chart below shows the gold medals earned in each year in a linear fashion. Canada has hosted the Olympic games three times: the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. At the 2010 Winter Olympics, which was hosted in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada won more gold medals than any other competing nation for the first time.
The all-time medal table for all five countries from 1896 to 2018, including Summer Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games, and a combined total of both, is tabulated below. These Olympic medal counts do not include the 1906 Intercalated Games which are no longer recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as official Games. The IOC itself does not publish all-time tables, and publishes unofficial tables only per single Games. This table was thus compiled by adding up single entries from the IOC database.
Since 1991, any new sports seeking to be included on the Olympic programme have been required to include women's events, while the IOC has also worked closely with the International Sports Federations (IFs) to stimulate women’s involvement in sport through more participation opportunities at the Olympic Games. Women continue to be underrepresented as coaching staff at the Olympic Games. The Gender Equality Review Project has highlighted the need to address the imbalance in coaching.


About Us
The pesticidal protein database is part of the Bacterial Pesticidal Protein Resource Center (www.bpprc.org). This database is intended to replace and extend the old Bacillus thuringiensis toxin nomenclature site. The database currently contains proteins listed in the Bt nomenclature site but with new mnemonics to reflect the assignment of proteins to different homology groups. New bacteria-derived proteins with pesticidal properties have also been added. This site allows users to find the best matches within the database to their own sequence. Database sequences can be downloaded and analysed in various ways.
Funding
This project is supported by the National Science Foundation I/UCRC, the Center for Arthropod Management Technologies, under Grant Nos. IIP-1338775 and 1821914, and by industry partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I name my own protein?
No. Even though you can identify the most closely related proteins, you can only acquire an official name by use of this site. Self-naming of proteins will inevitably lead to different users adopting the same protein name, confusing the literature. Only the nomenclature committee can issue new protein names.
My protein is completely different. Should I refer to it as Xpp-like?
No. Xpp is a holding group containing members of several disparate protein families. As a result, Xpp-like would not actually indicate any significant homology. You could however, refer to your protein in relation to a specific Xpp protein (as Xpp37-like for example). The numeric value will be retained when the protein is re-categorized to a specific protein family in the future.
I have a pesticidal protein derived from a fern. Can I add this sequence to the database?
Probably not. This site only aims to deal with proteins of bacterial origin. However, if your protein of non-bacterial origin has a high degree of identity with a protein that is already in the database, you may make a case for its inclusion. The committee will consider these requests on a case-by-case basis.


The problem of magic sequences is a well known constraint problem. A magic sequence is a list, where the i-th item of the list is equal to the number of occurrences of the number i in the list, starting from zero. For example, the following is a magic sequence:
[1,2,1,0]
The CLP(FD) solution can be found in
library('clpfd/examples/magicseq'), which provides a couple of
different solutions, one of which uses the global_cardinality/2
constraint. We'll use this solution to demonstrate a simple session
with FDBG.
First, the debugger is imported into the user module:
| ?- use_module(fdbg). % loading /home/matsc/sicstus3/Utils/x86-linux-glibc2.2/lib/sicstus-3.9.1/library/fdbg.po... % module fdbg imported into user [...] % loaded /home/matsc/sicstus3/Utils/x86-linux-glibc2.2/lib/sicstus-3.9.1/library/fdbg.po in module fdbg, 220 msec 453936 bytes
Then, the magic sequence solver is loaded:
| ?- consult(library('clpfd/examples/magicseq')). % consulting /home/matsc/sicstus3/Utils/x86-linux-glibc2.2/lib/sicstus-3.9.1/library/clpfd/examples/magicseq.pl... % module magic imported into user % module clpfd imported into magic % consulted /home/matsc/sicstus3/Utils/x86-linux-glibc2.2/lib/sicstus-3.9.1/library/clpfd/examples/magicseq.pl in module magic, 30 msec 9440 bytes
Now we turn on the debugger, telling it to save the trace in fdbg.log.
| ?- fdbg_on([file('fdbg.log',write)]). % The clp(fd) debugger is switched on
To produce a well readable trace output, a name has to be assigned to the list representing the magic sequence. To avoid any modifications to the source code, the name is assigned by a separate call before calling the magic sequence finder predicate:
| ?- length(L,4), fdbg_assign_name(L,list), magic_gcc(4,L,[enum]). L = [1,2,1,0] ? ; L = [2,0,2,0] ? ; no
Please note: the call tolength/2
is necessary; otherwise,L
would be a single variable instead of a list of four variables when the name is assigned.
Finally we turn the debugger off:
| ?- fdbg_off. % The clp(fd) debugger is switched off
The output of the sample run can be found in fdbg.log. Here, we show selected parts of the trace. In each block, the woken constraint appears on the first line, followed by the corresponding legend.
In the first displayed block, scalar_product/4
removes infeasible
domain values from list_3
and list_4
, thus adjusting their
upper bounds. The legend shows the domains before and after pruning.
Note also that the constraint is rewritten to a more readable form:
<list_2>+2*<list_3>+3*<list_4>#=4 list_2 = 0..3 list_3 = 0..3 -> 0..2 list_4 = 0..3 -> 0..1
The following block shows the initial labeling events,
trying the value 0 for list_1
:
Labeling [22, <list_1>]: starting in range 0..3. Labeling [22, <list_1>]: indomain_up: <list_1> = 0
This immediately leads to a dead end:
global_cardinality([0,<list_2>,<list_3>,<list_4>], [0-0,1-<list_2>,2-<list_3>,3-<list_4>]) list_2 = 0..3 list_3 = 0..2 list_4 = 0..1 Constraint failed.
We backtrack on list_1
, trying instead the value 1. This
leads to the following propagation steps:
Labeling [22, <list_1>]: indomain_up: <list_1> = 1 global_cardinality([1,<list_2>,<list_3>,<list_4>], [0-1,1-<list_2>,2-<list_3>,3-<list_4>]) list_2 = 0..3 -> 1..3 list_3 = 0..2 list_4 = 0..1 <list_2>+2*<list_3>+3*<list_4>#=4 list_2 = 1..3 list_3 = 0..2 -> 0..1 list_4 = 0..1
However, we do not yet have a solution, so we try the first feasible
value for list_2
, which is 2. This is in fact enough to solve
the goal. In the last two propagation steps, the constraint
exits, which means that it holds no matter what value any remaining
variable takes (in this example, there are none):
Labeling [29, <list_2>]: indomain_up: <list_2> = 2 global_cardinality([1,2,<list_3>,<list_4>],[0-1,1-2,2-<list_3>,3-<list_4>]) list_3 = 0..1 -> {1} list_4 = 0..1 -> {0} global_cardinality([1,2,1,0],[0-1,1-2,2-1,3-0]) Constraint exited. 0#=0 Constraint exited.
