Film review by Kevin Patterson
BELOVED Rating: **** (out of four) R, 1998 Director: Jonathan Demme Screenplay: Akosua Busia, Richard LaGravenese, Adam Brooks Starring Cast: Oprah Winfrey, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise
Most films about slavery address the subject by immersing themselves in the America of the early to late 1800s, showing us first-hand the cruelty of the system and the cold-hearted selfishness of those who perpetuated its existence. While there's nothing wrong with this, it's always nice to see a fresh approach to the topic, and Jonathan Demme delivers that with his new film BELOVED, based (very faithfully, I'm told) on the Toni Morrison novel of the same name.
BELOVED stays away from Southern slave plantations for the most part, instead focusing on an African-American family living in rural Ohio in the 1870s. The mother Sethe (Oprah Winfrey) is an ex-slave who lives with her daughter Denver (Kimberly Elise), her two sons having left the house in fear eight years earlier. The house is haunted by the spirit of Sethe's youngest daughter, who apparently died as an infant. Into this setting wanders Paul D (Danny Glover), an old friend from the slave plantation who soon becomes Sethe's lover and who can help her fill in at least one important blank from her past. Adding to an already bizarre situation is the sudden appearance of Beloved (Thandie Newton), an apparently sick and traumatized young girl who mysteriously shows up in Sethe's backyard one afternoon and who seems to have lost her memory.
There isn't much of a plot per se in BELOVED. The film instead concentrates on the interactions between Sethe, Paul D, Beloved, and Denver. The screenwriters make a wise choice in withholding the whole picture from the audience, thus ensuring the viewers' interest as the characters are sketched out on-screen. Gradually, our questions are answered as to why Sethe's neighbors scorn her when the family goes to the local carnival, how the ghostly first daughter died, and how Sethe originally escaped from slavery, and why her husband isn't with her. The biggest engima is Beloved herself, who sometimes seems to be a pleasant-spirited, innocent young girl, but also sometimes manipulates the situation so as to undermine the relationships between Sethe, Paul D, and Denver. She clearly has a connection to the family, but neither the other characters nor the audience know what it is at first.
The pains and tribulations of the characters' pasts are revealed both through flashbacks and through their present-day emotions and choices, as Demme handles the slavery aspect delicately without indulging in obvious manipulation or sentimentality. BELOVED doesn't seek to portray slavery itself, but its after-effects on those who survived it. The use of the supernatural might seem out of place at first, but it actually functions very well as a metaphorical device. A horrifying secret about Sethe's past is soon to be revealed, and the supernatural aspect helps to show us a woman who is quite literally haunted by the past. If BELOVED is "about" anything other than its characters and their interactions, it's about the urge to look to the future, even when the past is so unforgettably horrible. And yet Sethe is not made to look foolish or obsessed: we understand why she behaves the way she does. Denver is more of a "good example" in that she wants to get away from their isolated country house and find work in the city, but then again, she never had to live through slavery, since she was born while Sethe was on the run. BELOVED manages to have a "message" and still be compassionate and sympathetic to those who don't catch onto it at first.
BELOVED may move a little slowly in a few places, but whatever its minor weaknesses, they are more than compensated for by Demme's skillful direction, the imaginative style of storytelling, and the outstanding performances, particularly from Winfrey and from Newton, whose awkward speech and motion is eerily effective. A well-constructed and deeply honest film, BELOVED is easily one of the best of the year.

There is a tendency in combat sports for athletes to carry their scars with pride. Bruises, cuts, and other injuries indicate that the fighter has trained hard and is tough enough to wear the marks of undergone pain with stoic indifference. The treatment of ‘cauliflower ears’ as a badge of honor in grappling sports is the ultimate example of such a culture that fails to prioritize health, longevity, and safety.
If you were to ask most grapplers about the negative health effects of cauliflower ears, you’re likely to be told that there are none. Medical data, however, paints a different picture. Cauliflower ears increase the chances of hearing loss and infections. This information alone is enough to warrant preventative measures by both participants of grappling sports and also the regulatory bodies that exist to ensure the safety of athletes.
This is where ear guards come into this equation. They greatly decrease the odds of developing cauliflower ear by reducing the damage from impact and friction that grates ears. Studies estimate that the odds of developing cauliflower ears can be decreased by up to 50% with ear guards.
Some competitors express concern that ear guards can influence the outcome of a grappling match and should thus be banned from tournaments. However, thousands of matches have been conducted in high school and collegiate wrestling matches, as well as submission grappling oriented events such as Grapplersquest, NexusBJJ, and NAGAfighter with few complaints.
In Conclusion
Anyone who embarks on a journey in a grappling sport should take measures to avoid cauliflower ear from the very beginning. To be able to enjoy the full benefits of wrestling, judo, or jiu-jitsu while minimizing the risks and negative consequences of these dangerous sports is a victory to be proud of. The leaders of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu should recognize this view and allow competitors to wear ear guards in their tournaments as another step to maximize the health and safety of BJJ participants. If you enjoyed reading this article and agree with its main points, sign the change.org petition to allow ear guards in IBJJF tournaments.

A young woman in her early teens, Daenerys has the classical Valyrian look; She has violet eyes, pale skin, and long, pale silver-gold hair. Daenerys is slender of frame, with small breasts. She is said to resemble Queen Naerys Targaryen, though Daenerys is taller. Daenerys has been described as fair, and beautiful.
Beside the Common Tongue, Daenerys speaks the bastard Valyrian of the Free Cities with a Tyroshi accent, and High Valyrian. She quickly learns the Dothraki language, and the Ghiscari tongue.
Daenerys grew up terrified of and abused by her brother Viserys, and was regarded as fearful and furtive by Magister Illyrio Mopatis. She grows more confident in A Song of Ice and Fire, however, and her followers generally regard her with great respect and love, and Jorah Mormont and Barristan Selmy have compared her to her deceased brother, Prince Rhaegar, who had been valiant, honorable, and noble, and is still fondly remembered in the Seven Kingdoms.
As she was raised in exile, never staying long as one place, Daenerys has never truly known a place to call home. Though she describes the fragrance of the Western Market at Vaes Dothrak with smelling "of home", they in fact remind of her her days spent in several of the Free Cities as a small child. Among the Dothraki, she feels safe, loved and hopeful for the first time. The house with the red door in Braavos, where she lived until she was about five years old, has come to symbolize her lost childhood, and she frequently wishes to return there. Though she has never seen Westeros and cannot remember Dragonstone, she believes that the Iron Throne is her by rights, as Viserys's heir, and that ruling the Seven Kingdoms is her duty. Daenerys abhors slavery and is willing to put the needs of her people before her own desires.
Daenerys loves the sea, as it makes her feel free, as well as the sailors and their songs and stories.She also loves to read children's stories and songs from the Seven Kingdoms about hall and handsome heroes. She enjoys heat, preferring her baths scalding hot.| Alias | |||||||||

When you deploy a new version of your application, you must replace the previous version. The process manager you’re using will first send a SIGTERM signal to the application to notify it that it will be killed. Once the application gets this signal, it should stop accepting new requests, finish all the ongoing requests, clean up the resources it used, including database connections and file locks then exit.
const server = app.listen(port)
process.on('SIGTERM', () => {
debug('SIGTERM signal received: closing HTTP server')
server.close(() => {
debug('HTTP server closed')
})
})
A load balancer uses health checks to determine if an application instance is healthy and can accept requests. For example, Kubernetes has two health checks:
liveness
, that determines when to restart a container.
readiness
, that determines when a container is ready to
start accepting traffic. When a pod is not ready, it is removed from the
service load balancers.
{% include community-caveat.html %}
Terminus is an open-source project that adds health checks and graceful shutdown to your application to eliminate the need to write boilerplate code. You just provide the cleanup logic for graceful shutdowns and the health check logic for health checks, and terminus handles the rest.
Install terminus as follows:
Here’s a basic template that illustrates using terminus. For more information, see https://github.com/godaddy/terminus.
const http = require('http')
const express = require('express')
const { createTerminus } = require('@godaddy/terminus')
const app = express()
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('ok')
})
const server = http.createServer(app)
function onSignal () {
console.log('server is starting cleanup')
// start cleanup of resource, like databases or file descriptors
}
async function onHealthCheck () {
// checks if the system is healthy, like the db connection is live
// resolves, if health, rejects if not
}
createTerminus(server, {
signal: 'SIGINT',
healthChecks: { '/healthcheck': onHealthCheck },
onSignal
})
server.listen(3000)
Lightship is an open-source project that adds health, readiness and liveness checks to your application. Lightship is a standalone HTTP-service that runs as a separate HTTP service; this allows having health-readiness-liveness HTTP endpoints without exposing them on the public interface.
Install Lightship as follows:
Basic template that illustrates using Lightship:
const http = require('http')
const express = require('express')
const {
createLightship
} = require('lightship')
// Lightship will start a HTTP service on port 9000.
const lightship = createLightship()
const app = express()
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('ok')
})
app.listen(3000, () => {
lightship.signalReady()
})
// You can signal that the service is not ready using `lightship.signalNotReady()`.
Lightship documentation provides examples of the corresponding Kubernetes configuration and a complete example of integration with Express.js.
http-terminator implements logic for gracefully terminating an express.js server.
Terminating a HTTP server in Node.js requires keeping track of all open connections and signaling them that the server is shutting down. http-terminator implements the logic for tracking all connections and their termination upon a timeout. http-terminator also ensures graceful communication of the server intention to shutdown to any clients that are currently receiving response from this server.
Install http-terminator as follows:
Basic template that illustrates using http-terminator:
const express = require('express')
const { createHttpTerminator } = require('http-terminator')
const app = express()
const server = app.listen(3000)
const httpTerminator = createHttpTerminator({ server })
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('ok')
})
// A server will terminate after invoking `httpTerminator.terminate()`.
// Note: Timeout is used for illustration of delayed termination purposes only.
setTimeout(() => {
httpTerminator.terminate()
}, 1000)
http-terminator documentation provides API documentation and comparison to other existing third-party solutions.
express-actuator is a middleware to add endpoints to help you monitor and manage applications.
Install express-actuator as follows:
Basic template that illustrates using express-actuator:
const express = require('express')
const actuator = require('express-actuator')
const app = express()
app.use(actuator())
app.listen(3000)
The express-actuator documentation provides different options for customization.

Police arrest 11 ‘Western Togoland’ separatists
Police have arrested eleven members of a group that purported to declare independence for the Volta Region and other parts of the country.
A manhunt is still on for leader of the group, octogenarian, Charles Kormi Kudzodzi, Volta Regional Police PRO, Corporal Prince Dogbatse said.
He, however, told AdomNews the spouse and daughter of Kudzodzi have been arrested among the eleven.
The police called for calm among residents of the region and maintained that Volta Region and the other areas being purported to have been seceded remain a part of Ghana.
Homeland Study Group Foundation
The group, Homeland Study Group Foundation has been advocating the independence of former Western Togoland made up of Volta Region, Oti Region and parts of the North East Region, Northern Region and Upper East Region.
The region was a German colony but at the end of World War I, it was split in two and the Eastern side ceded to France and is present-day Togo.
The Western side was a British protectorate and voted in a plebiscite in 1956 to join Ghana which was about to be granted independence by Britain.
The Homeland Study Group Foundation argues that the agreement to join Ghana included forming a union in 50 years.
They claim the said union was never formed so since 2007, the group has been championing separation from Ghana.
Leaders of the group have been arrested in the past and released.
Reaction
Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has stressed the members of the group who took part in the illegal act [declaration of independence] would be dealt with per the laws of Ghana.
Speaking on the issue, outspoken MP for North Tongu in the Volta Region, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, described the separatist’s actions as a “comic relief” which “is no longer funny.”
“Besides, it is totally unacceptable for a few secessionist elements without any mandate whatsoever, to purport to be speaking for an entire region and declaring independence on our behalf. Enough,” he wrote on Facebook.

Rich Semantic Titles in WordPress with ACF
Last night while browsing the Roots Discourse I came across a cool share by a user who has written a little utility to handle a request he often gets from designers and content creators.
User MWDelaney writes -
So he wrote this cool little plugin that gives end users a set of fields to construct these complex titles. The post is here, and you can check his plugin out here. I’d suggest exploring his GitHub further as it looks like he’s working on lot’s of cool ideas like this.
Anyway, I’m reading his post and it reminded me of a solution I’ve been using at work to help make descriptive titles a bit more semantic.
Imagine we’re building a new site for “Bob’s Hermit Crab Sanctuary”. Like most sites it has an About page. In the site map and wireframes the page is labeled “About” which is appropriate because it’s a page about the business. At the same time, “About” is maybe a bit boring and not as descriptive as it could be, so in the design “About” becomes: “A Safe Haven for Hermit Crabs Since 1861”.
Much nicer, but maybe a little long for the top nav, and in the comp the top nav is still labled as “About”. I know I can change the menu text via the WordPress menu editor, but I want to step it up a little, and “About” still remains the shortest, most releavant keyword for the page.
Moz says that:
According to Moz, the optimal format when constructing a title is: Primary Keyword | Secondary Keyword
The Moz article references this quality assurance tip from the W3 Consortium which states:
I got the idea for how to handle this from Bootstrap’s headings with “lighter secondary text” example:
h1. Bootstrap heading Secondary text
I like this execution because semantically, is used to represent small runs of secondary, or side text. This makes it great for displaying headers with sub-text, which is essentially what I am trying to do here. The difference in my case is that I want to hide the first portion of the title from viewers, but still have it as part of the document. Span tags have no semantic meaning, so I can extend the Bootstrap example by wrapping a around the first portion of the title to control its visibility. More on that below.
So for the backend, what I’ve started doing is setting up an ACF field group called something like “Title Override”. I’ll set the display settings to “High (Below the Title)” on the back end, and give it 2 fields - a true/false (checkbox) to toggle it on and off, and a text field for the description. I use the checkbox to hide and show the field on the backend, and to filter the output on the front end.
To the end user it looks something like this -
The logic is simple and can go right in the template file, but I prefer to drop it in a function. It just needs to get the page title, check if we are doing an override, generate the appropriate markup if so, and return the results to the template.
/**
* Title override
* @return string - title
*/
function overrideTitle()
{
// true/false
$override = get_field('title_override');
$title = get_the_title();
if ($override) {
// If using the override, get the title description
$description = get_field('title_description');
// Setup the modified markup
$output = '' . $title . ': ' . $description . '';
} else {
// Not doing an override, use the regular title
$output = $title;
}
// return the output to the template
return $output;
}
Note the sr-only class; We use a lot of Bootstrap, and in this case I’m using Bootstraps sr-only class to hide the “About:” keyword portion of the title. This way it doesn’t display in the browser, but it’s still visible to screen-readers and bots. Aside from that, the description is still wrapped in a tag which, aside from the semantic meaning it provides, also has the effect of making our text smaller. So it needs to be styled to match its parent. This is simple using the @extend directive in Sass.
h1 .override-title {
@extend h1;
}
Then in my template I call the title like this -

<?= overrideTitle(); ?>

Now if there’s no override the browser gets the regular title, but if override returns true the browser gets -

About: A Safe Haven for Hermit Crabs Since 1861

Which, in terms of intent, reads as - About: A Safe Haven for Hermit Crabs Since 1861
That’s it, screen readers and search-bots get rich, valid, semantic, and fully descriptive markup, and our client, content creators and designers have the control they need over the display.
Good stuff!

'Life Is Beautiful' (1998)
A movie review by Walter Frith
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Member of the ‘Online Film Critics Society' http://ofcs.org/ofcs/
Like 1987's 'Hope and Glory', much of the unpleasantness of war in 'Life is Beautiful' is seen through the eyes of a child. In reality, this film isn't really about war as much as it is about one man's way of dealing with it and finding enough humour to entertain his young son throughout it all. This film is the ultimate testament to the spirit of the human condition in that its protagonist never waivers in the face of tragedy, something that would be very easy to do, and he always finds a way to make things seem good during a bad situation.
Italy's Roberto Benigni has made a truly classic film that details family life in the simplest of texts and how the separation of it often makes the heart grow fonder. He is Oscar bound in several mainstream categories, including Best Actor and Best Director, co-author of the Best Original Screenplay and the film will almost certainly be nominated for Best Picture and at the very least, Best Foreign Language Film which, and if it is, it will be a hands down winner.
It opens in the pleasant countryside of Italy in 1939, just prior to the outbreak of World War II. Guido (Roberto Benigni) is a happy go lucky fellow. Never taking time to breathe between interludes of spreading life's good cheer among his friends, relatives and anyone else who'll listen. He aspires to open a bookshop and meets a beautiful young school teacher ((Nicoletta Braschi, who is Benigni's real life wife). He keeps running into her time after time and their partnership in life seems almost set by destiny. They marry and the film fast forwards to 1945 and they now have a five year old son (Giorgio Cantarini).
Benigni's character is an Italian Jew, and he, along with his uncle and son are rounded up by the Nazis and put into a concentration camp. The strong love his wife has for him and her son has her demanding to be taken to the camp as well, and even though she is not forced to go, this is one of the film's most memorable moments. Throughout their time in the camp, Guido tells his son that all the chores, hard ship and suffering are a game and that the winner will receive a tank for first prize when its all over. Naturally, you can't tell a five year old boy, if you have any human feelings, that you could be murdered at any minute and this whole whimsical premise casts a new light on war that I've never seen before and the film never makes you feel bad for a moment and is as important, in many ways, as any film that details the horrors of war strongly enough to repel an audience.
This is actually like two movies in one because the first half is strictly about free civilian life and it plays almost like a one man show as Benigni's character practically puts on a one man show. The jokes are slapstick like in many ways but the wit of the film's dialogue and how it relates in resolving things is a marvel to behold. The second half of the film is the concentration camp suffering. The ending should be sad, but it isn't because its balance is intact throughout its entire running time and you can't take your eyes off the screen for a moment.

This is a hard one.
Adjusting the code for the cosmic initializer turned out to be pretty simple, but when compiled it resulted in a link time error:
ld: error: (....) relocation R_X86_64_PC32 out of range: (...) is not in [-2147483648,<PHONE_NUMBER>]
Asking @misc resulted in the guidance that compiling with
-mcmodel=medium
is required. What does this mean? After
some research, it turns out:
-mcmodel=small
for the 2GB data+code model,
and -mcmodel=medium
for the 2GB code and 64-bit data model.OK, so rebuild with -mcmodel=medium and the link step works but the program fails at runtime with:
Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference.
The backtrace was 64 calls deep, and meaningless:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00000b2e7c782d60 in ?? ()
#1 0x0000000000000004 in ?? ()
#2 0x00000b31188a09e0 in ?? ()
#3 0x0000000000000020 in ?? ()
#4 0x0000000000000020 in ?? ()
#5 0x0000000000000001 in ?? ()
#6 0x2b485153b410927a in ?? ()
.... and so on
But when I ran similar (much smaller) test code, it worked.
So I went back to the failing code. Digging deeper into the backtrace required a static build to get a symbol table for the backtrace. And it was deep into the internals of fftw3. Hmm, nothing wrong with that code (by assumption). Here is what it looked like:
(gdb) bt

.... and so on
And this was 25 calls deep. Not the same issue. Or, perhaps it was.
Where was I? Linking works, but while running code the program segfaults. Some kind of pointer issue, perhaps? The Fortran code I was testing had no pointers.
It is very easy to make arrays larger than 2GB. But, in fact what the
initializer was doing was calling pencil_fft.f90
which had local
temporary arrays which were only 14M elements, or 56MB.
In Fortran, all statically defined variables end up in the same section. A “section” is a unit of memory allocation as defined by the linker and loader: it has a name, length, read/write attributes, etc. All object files are combined by the linker by matching up their sections and either concatenating them (such as for static variables or executable code ) or merging them (offset tables).
Programmers don’t need to know much about sections until they run into security issues (write XOR with execute, abbreviated W ^ X), or stack size issues, or as in this case, memory addressing issues.
The section here is the .bss section:
$ objdump -h pencil_fft.o
pencil_fft.o: file format elf64-x86-64
Sections:
Idx Name Size VMA LMA File off Algn
0 .text 00002dd8<PHONE_NUMBER>000000<PHONE_NUMBER>000000 00000040 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, CODE
1 .data 00000000<PHONE_NUMBER>000000<PHONE_NUMBER>000000 00002e18 2**2
CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA
2 .bss 000b4ca8<PHONE_NUMBER>000000<PHONE_NUMBER>000000 00002e20 2**5
ALLOC
where the 0x000b4ca8 size is 740520 bytes (decimal).
Looking into the whole program, the bss section was not too big. So, back to examine the code.
The fft routines declared input and output arrays as integer(C_INT), dimension(*), intent(in)
while the calling code was explicit dimensions dimension(number)
. Maybe that
was it?
The difference is whether the calling sequence delivers the array itself (as with explicit-shape), or some description of it (assumed-shape). Both the routine and the main code must agree otherwise you get dreaded Segmentation faults.
For example
$ cat >t.f90 << __end
program lbug
implicit none
save
real r3(ng,ng,ng) ! explicit shape, ng is a macro
print *,'hello bug'
call someexternal(r3,3)
print *,r3(3,3,3)
endprogram
__end
$ cat >tse.f90 << __end
subroutine someexternal(a,b)
real a(:,:,:) ! assumed shape
print *,'b is ',b
print *,a(1,1,1)
endsubroutine
__end
$ egfortran -c -cpp -Dng=20 t.f90
$ egfortran -c tse.f90
$ egfortran t.o tse.o
$ ./a.out
hello bug
b is 4.20389539E-45
Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference.
A compile-time detection for this happens when both program and subroutine appear in the same file. In this case, you get
call someexternal(r3,3)
1
Error: Explicit interface required for 'someexternal' at (1): assumed-shape argument
To fix this, you can choose to modify the code to be explicit (passing the dimensions along with the array), or explain the interface to the compiler with an INTERFACE definition.
The code then looks like this:
program lbugt
implicit none
save
real, allocatable :: r3(:,:,:) ! deferred shape
interface
subroutine someexternal(x,y)
real, dimension (:,:,:) :: x
real :: y
end subroutine
end interface
print *,'hello bug'
allocate (r3(ng,ng,ng)) ! ng is a macro
call someexternal(r3,3.0)
print *,r3(3,3,3)
endprogram
The results look like:
$ egfortran -cpp -Dng=20 -c tb.f90
$ cat lbugp.f90
subroutine someexternal(a,b)
real a(:,:,:) ! assumed shape
print *,'b is ',b
print *,a(1,1,1)
endsubroutine
$ egfortran -c lbugp.f90
$ egfortran tb.o lbugp.o
$ ./a.out
hello bug
b is 3.00000000
0.00000000
0.00000000
$
This is one subtlety of the new Fortran language spec: arrays are a little more complicated that you might think.

Before you install GEE Server¶
Before installing Google Earth Enterprise (GEE) Server, you must configure your hardware, network, and GEE users. You should also carefully decide in advance where you want to store Fusion data and where you want to publish Fusion databases. You must provide this information during installation. The following sections provide information about GEE requirements, considerations, and best practices. Be sure to complete all of the tasks described in these sections before installing GEE Server.
Upgrading
To prevent compatibility issues, you must run the same version of GEE Server and Fusion. If you upgrade Fusion without upgrading GEE Server, you will not be able to publish to the GEE Server database.
Configuring Your Host Volumes
The best practices for naming your host volumes are:
- Network naming convention. You should use a network naming convention for any new volume that hosts Fusion or source data, whether it is initially part of a network or not, because you will almost certainly migrate to a network-based configuration eventually. Fusion requires both a network path and local name to resolve the locations of source files and related Fusion data, so changing the host volume name or path invalidates Fusion data. On a single workstation setup, the local and network paths are identical, but on a network-based configuration they are not.
- /gevol. You should use /
gevol
as your volume naming convention because it is unlikely to conflict with standard Linux volume definitions. Linux systems frequently use either/vol(*)
or/
data(*)
as the local volume definition on a new system, so using this convention for Fusion can cause name conflicts if you later switch from a single workstation to a network-based configuration. For example, if you initially define/vol1/assets
as the network location for a Fusion asset root, and you later add another workstation that has a local volume called/vol1
, that workstation cannot reference/vol1/assets
through the network because of the name conflict with its local volume definition. (See Planning the Location of Your Asset Root for more information about the asset root.) You can avoid this conflict by using a unique naming convention for all volumes on your network (such as /vol1
… /vol
n), but /gevol
is a good choice because it is descriptive.
Configuring Multiple Storage Devices
GEE Server and the Fusion asset root, source volumes, and publish root require large amounts of disk storage space. Fusion requires about three times as much storage space as GEE Server. The storage space can be either in the form of internal disks, directly attached storage devices, network-attached storage (NAS) devices, or storage area network (SAN) devices. Typically, these devices are configured into redundant arrays of independent disks (RAIDs) and presented to the operating system as volumes. Volumes can range in size from several hundred gigabytes to tens of terabytes.
The difference between configuring a workstation with one, two, or three volumes is how you define the mount point for the source and asset volumes.
When configuring a Linux workstation, it is best practice to use the following mount point naming conventions:
Single volume
Mount the single drive to slash (/). All data (
/gevol/assets
,/gevol/src
, and/gevol/published_dbs
) resides on that drive with the local path defined using the /gevol
naming convention.Two volumes - a small system volume and a larger data volume
Mount the small system drive to slash (
/
). Mount the larger data drive to/gevol/
. Source and asset data volumes can then be defined as/gevol/assets
and/gevol/src
.Three volumes - a small system volume and two larger data volumes
Mount the small system drive to slash (
/
). Mount the first large data drive to/gevol/assets
. Mount the second large data drive to/gevol/src
.More than three volumes
There are several strategies for storing very large data sets. Fusion can read from and write to multiple volumes. For more information, you can request help on our Slack channel.
It is also important to keep internal and external storage devices separated so that if your internal server goes down, it does not affect your ability to serve published data to external clients. Likewise, if your external server goes down, you can replace it and publish from the internal storage device. Perhaps more importantly, keeping your internal and external storage devices separate reduces the possibility of performance problems that could occur if you are building a large data set or if a client requests a time-consuming search.
Planning the Location of Your Publish Root
During GEE Server installation, you must specify a volume for the publish root. The publish root is the directory in which all of your published databases are stored.
If you specify a different volume than the asset root:
Whenever you publish a database, Fusion registers the database on the specified volume and then copies all of the database files to the designated volume.
For example, if you specify /gevol/assets
for your asset root
and /data1/published_dbs
for your publish root, whenever you
publish a database, Fusion copies all of the database files from
/gevol/assets
to /data1/published_dbs
(unless you allow
symbolic links during installation). Copying takes more time as
well as extra disk space.
If you specify the same volume as the asset root:
Whenever you publish a database, Fusion registers the database on the specified volume and sets symbolic links to the database files.
For example, if you specify /gevol/assets
for your asset root
and /gevol/published_dbs
for your publish root, whenever you
publish a database, Fusion registers the database on gevol
and
sets hard links to the database files. No copying is necessary.
Setting Up GEE Users
The GEE installer automatically configures certain system users to perform background tasks at the system level. If you accept the default user names and allow the installer to create those users on your local workstation, you are implementing local authentication only. Local authentication is designed for standalone workstations only.
If you are using GEE over a network with at least two workstations, storage devices, or servers, the best practice is to use a centralized network authentication system such as LDAP, NIS, or one of the many commercially available systems.
If you use a centralized network authentication system, you must add the following users to your authentication system’s user list:
- gefusionuser
- geapacheuser
- gepguser
The primary group for all of these users is gegroup.
If you are in a multi-user environment in which multiple workstations share a common asset root on a NAS/SAN, these users must have the same UID on all devices, so you must assign them explicitly in both your network authentication system and in GEE.
Be sure to configure each GEE workstation, storage device, and GEE Server to use your network authentication system. For more information, see your network authentication system documentation.
Customizing GEE User Names
You can use customized user and group names when installing
Fusion. Specify the custom user and group names via the -u
and
-g
options when running the installer. The GEE Server
installer does not currently provide the option to customize user
and group names.
Deciding Which Products To Install
You do not need to install all products on all devices. Follow the guidelines below.
Development machine:
- Install both Fusion and GEE Server on the server machine that you want to use to import your source GIS data and create flyable 3D and 2D databases. A system in this configuration is typically called the “development machine” since its primary task is to build flyable databases and only a small number of users will view the flyable data for quality assurance testing.
- Install the Fusion tutorial files on the “development machine” for users who are new to Fusion or to this version of Fusion. You can also use the Fusion tutorial files to test publishing.
Production machine:
- Install only the GEE Server on the server machine that hosts flyable 3D and 2D databases. All authorized end-users will connect to this system – typically referred to as the “production machine” – to view the flyable databases. This machine must be accessible through the network from the development machine in order to publish databases.
- Users who will not have direct network access to their production machines, or users who plan to update remote systems with external hard drives, must also install the “Disconnected Publishing Add-on” for additional tools.


torchfunc.record¶
This module allows you to record the state of your neural network in various situations (for example activations value passing through it).
Recorders are organized similarly to torch.nn.Module
’s hooks (e.g. backward
, forward
and forward pre
).
Those will record data going out/in from/to torch.nn.Module
in backward or forward mode.
For example:
# MNIST classifier
model = torch.nn.Sequential(
torch.nn.Linear(784, 100),
torch.nn.ReLU(),
torch.nn.Linear(100, 50),
torch.nn.ReLU(),
torch.nn.Linear(50, 10),
)
# Recorder which sums layer inputs from consecutive forward calls
recorder = torchfunc.record.ForwardPreRecorder(reduction=lambda x, y: x+y)
# Record inputs going into Linear(100, 50) and Linear(50, 10)
recorder.children(model, indices=(2, 3))
# Train your network normally (or pass data through it)
...
# Save tensors (of shape 100 and 50) in folder, each named 1.pt and 2.pt respectively
recorder.save(pathlib.Path("./analysis"))
You could specify types instead of indices (all inputs to torch.nn.Linear will be registered), iterate over modules recursively instead of children etc.
See exact specification below.

Lying approximately 50 miles SW of Casablanca, El Jadida is a quiet seaside town with a Mediterranean feel. It has an interesting old town and Portuguese fort.
The skipper should go ashore with the passports and ship's papers and visit the capitainerie, douanes and police, all of which are in the harbour area. Officials are reported to be friendly and formalities straightforward, but they can take a while. They may visit the boat instead.
Last updated August 2012.
Due to silting the minimum depth in the harbour is now about 1.8m. There is about 2m in the entrance at low water. Best not to approach before half tide. Stay close to the northern breakwater when entering.
 You can also anchor south of the northern breakwater in 3.5 meter at LW. There is a good anchorage off the harbour entrance, but no protection from the NW swell, which is common in winter.
The dinghy can be left at the Club Nautique, which has no facilities except a restaurant. The services of the yacht club's security guard, Rachid, are available. He is extremely helpful.
The harbour itself is rather dirty, but it is safe and sheltered. If leaving for a visit inland, it is a good idea to employ a "babysitter" for the boat, if only to stop inquisitive children climbing all over it!
Price is 250 dirham for a 47 feet, anchored south of the northern breakwater. You have to leave before 11.00 or you have to pay for an extra day. Prices are higher than in Rabat where they have all facilities.

Remember creating the TTN bridge locally on your computer? Will your PC be always on? Most likely not, therefore it seems reasonable to deploy the TTNAzureBridge somewhere else. What place is better than the Azure cloud?
Note: In this workshop, we will create uniquely named Azure resources. The suggested names could be reserved already. Just try another unique name.
Note: The bridge is actually an open source project on github. We accept pull requests :-)
Follow these steps to collect all parts before we can deploy to Azure.
If the bridge is still running, stop the running bridge with CONTROL-C.
Open a File Explorer and browse to the directory **c:*.
Check if the ‘TTNAzureBridge.zip’ is still available. This should be the same file you downloaded from this OneDrive location to this folder
Navigate to the folder with the executable and identify the config file name ‘TtnAzureBridge.exe.config’
The config file should still contain the complete app settings ‘ApplicationEui’, ‘ApplicationAccessKey’, ‘IotHubName’ and the connection string ‘IoTHub’
We need both the zip file and the secrets. Note: the config file inside the zip file does not contain the secrets
Follow these steps to deploy a console app as Azure WebJob that runs the integration between The Things Network and Azure IoT Hub.
Log into the Azure portal. You will be asked to provide Azure credentials if needed
On the left, select Resource groups. A list of resource groups is shown
Select the ResourceGroup IoTWorkshop-rg. It will open a new blade with all resources in this group
Select Add. A list of available services appears
Filter it with web app and select Web App
An introduction will be shown. Select Create
A dialog for the new Web App is shown
Enter a unique Web App name eg. IoTWorkshop-wa. A green sign will be shown if the name is unique
The Resource Group eg. ‘IoTWorkshop-rg’ is already filled in
The App Service plan eg. is filled with a non-specific one
Open the App Service plan blade, using the chevron, and select Create New
Enter a unique App name eg. IoTWorkshop-asp. A green sign will be shown if the name is unique
Select West Europe for the location
The Pricing tier will be left unaltered
Select Ok
Our new App Service plan is now added to the Azure Function App
Select Create
Creating a Web App will take some time, but we want to complete this step
So navigate back to the resource group (repeat step 1, 2 and 3) and meanwhile check the Web app creation in the resource group
If the Web App becomes listed, select IoTWorkshop-wa. Otherwise, ‘refresh’ the list a few times
You are now in the Web App blade. It should be shown like this, with all information available (otherwise, refresh a few times):
A Web App has dozens of settings. Filter the settings for webjobs
Select WebJobs. An empty list is presented
Select Add
Enter a unique Web App name eg. TTNAzureBridge. A green sign will be shown if the name is unique
Select your bridge ZIP file (eg. ‘TTNAzureBridge.zip’) as file to upload
Ensure that the type is set to Continuous
Set the scale to Single Instance
Select Ok
The Web Job will be created. And it is listed on the page of the Web App
This job is not started yet. And this is ok, it is not ready to run. We need to add settings first
Clear the settings filter to the left
Select Application settings
The Application settings pane is shown. Scroll down until both the App Settings and Connection Strings are shown
We will enter the actual settings here. These will override the settings in the config file of the bridge Note: this is a great feature for administrators
Add for each app setting the name and value. Use the same values are you used on your own PC in the config file
If in an unforeseen event that the connection to the TTN is lost, we let the Web App restart the web job. Add this extra ExitOnConnectionClosed setting and give it the value True
We also have to add the connection string. Fill in both the name, connection string. Finally, set the kind to Custom
The settings are now ready and should look like this
We only have to make sure the Webapp does not go to sleep if it thinks there’s no activity (no incoming messsages for a while). Set Always on to True
Press Save. A notification will be shown that the web app settings are updated successfully
Let’s check the state of the Web Job.
Filter the settings for webjobs. the bridge should have the state ‘Running’ by now
Select the bridge Webjob and select Logs
A new page is shown, here the status of the Web Job is shown. The status is ‘Running’
Go to the Detail logging, by selecting the link of the Web Job details. The TTN messages are handled
You have now deployed the whole upstream to the Azure cloud. You have successfully accomplished all available steps of this workshop.


About Curio Effect
Curio Effect is an African Online store that provides the opportunity for designers, fashion lovers, stylists, artists, fashion project owners and personal shoppers to exhibit, showcase and sell their goods.
AFRICA MEETS ART & TECH(sipmle is better than complex)
We have come along as a great ray of hope for African businesses struggling to find a reckoning.

Pitch torn up and match-day nets stolen from Kirkham Juniors Football Club
by Tom EarnshawA junior football club home to more than 200 young sport fanatics has had its football nets stolen and pitch ruined by deep tyre marks.
Kirkham Juniors Football Club had its storage container broken into at some time over the weekend (November 16 and 17).
It happened off Coronation Road in the town near to where the club hosts matches on the William Segar Hodgson Playing Fields.
Among the stolen items were three sets of nets; two belonging to Kirkham JFC and one to Kirkham and Wesham Athletic.
And the pitch was also ruined by deep tyre marks in what is believed to be a separate incident.
Club Chair James Davenport said: “As a club we work really hard to provide football for our 240 children.
"Acts of vandalism and theft clearly cause us setbacks and headaches to resolve, and ultimately slow our efforts to improve the club and what is offers to the local community.
"We will work closely with the local council and similar other organisations to firstly try and identify what happened and those responsible, and importantly try to find better arrangements to prevent these things from being able to happen again."
The club also said that a light had been smashed in the club's away dressing room.
And Mr Davenport revealed that one of the club managers is a local police officer so is in the process of reporting the incident and following it up.
"Any information can be passed to the club for passing on as appropriate. Ultimately we realise its unlikely that we will find anyone responsible," he added.
Taking to Facebook, a statement from the club committee said the incident has put back plans to install a defibrillator on the site.
It reads: "We have bought a defibrillator which we would like to permanently site on Coronation Road for use by the club and community.
"Clearly instances such as this cause us pause for thought given the expense of them."
Any information can be sent to Lancashire Police by calling 101.
