She was walking down Main Street, fingers nestled in her gray sweatshirt. Admittedly, she was a little woozy, a little warmer than usual. The stench of liquor stained her breath. She stumbled and leaned against the graffiti-splattered brick walls, catching her balance.
Her friends had left her alone, trusting that the ever-so responsible girl would make it back home safe. After all, she was usually the “mom”, not the child. She plodded on, all alone. Although inebriated, she had enough of her senses to make the trek.
The dimly lit street smelled of old rain. She was almost childlike, her senses elevated. She noted a star, far up in the sky. A slap-happy, innocent smile overwhelmed her face as she thought about the brilliance of the star. She wanted to be that brilliant one day.
Lost in her thoughts, mind tainted by spirits, she almost did not notice the hands, thrusting her away from the sparkling city lights. Hands muffled her mouth, rendering her unable to scream. She was confused, frozen. It was as if time had stopped and all that was left was this one, terrible moment.
Things like this didn’t happen, right?
She pleaded at the sky, pleaded at the stars, pleaded at that brilliant star to save her. She bit the offending hand, but it refused to let her go. In fact, he seemed to relish in her fear. He smiled with his ugly, yellowed teeth, as she looked on, horrified. Her strength was draining, her vision blurrier than before as she was coerced into darkness.
Where did all of the brilliance go?
She woke up on a ratchet board in a dimly lit alley, hands bound behind her back, continuously pricked by splintery wood.  She struggled against her constraints to no avail. His smile seemed almost cartoonish, but his ugly, yellowed teeth destroyed the illusion.
***
Her hands were free, but adorned with two matching Greek bronze armlets. As a matter of fact, she was completely dressed in traditional Greek clothing. After a quick glance around, she appeared to be in some kind of maze. The Labyrinth was made of red bricks and was dimly lit with oil lanterns.
She took a lantern and attempted to make her way to the center of this maze to face whatever was hidden at the center.
It appeared she did not need to wait long.
A loud powerful roar erupted from the left side of the maze. She instinctively flinched.
***
Her eyes widened in shock. The man grunted appreciatively and pressed himself against her cold, naked body. “Well, well, now the fun begins, huh?” he chuckled.
***
She turned to see what monstrous creature could have roared with such ferocity. It was the Minotaur.
Half-human, half-bull, but no Greek myth had done him justice. He was uglier than depicted on any vase. His eyes were beady yellow slits, and his upper torso was covered in matted blood, presumably not his own. He stomped towards her, the entire ground quaking at his every footstep. She stumbled backwards and began to run as fast as she could. Her heart was pounding in her head.
But he was too fast. He cornered her.
She fell to the ground and clutched the walls of the Labyrinth helplessly.
She swore she saw him smile.
***
She let out a loud scream of pain as he thrust into her without warning.
“SHUT UP!” he growled. He stuffed her mouth with an old rag.
“Next time, I’ll bust your pretty face.”
She whimpered and tried to forget. Not here. She’s not here…
***
The minotaur had seized her in its grip. She was about a tenth of his weight; it was hardly a fair fight. She kicked and struggled as he salivated at his newest prey.
This wasn’t how she wanted to go. Where was her Theseus?
The walls of Daedalus’s Hell seemed to be closing in on her as his breath got closer and closer to her face. She winced as a drop of monster saliva dripped down her chest.
Why did the City of Athens choose her to be the sacrifice? God, she wasn’t even a virgin. It was like winning the lottery, except with a death penalty.
She kicked and struggled as much as she could. The minotaur just got more and more aggressive, beginning to savor his meal. He bit at her fingers, her toes as she screamed.
***
He groaned loudly as he indulged in her for what seemed like the millionth time. There were burgundy and emerald bruises scattered all over her body. A small trail of blood trickled down her leg.
“Now, you be a good girl. You won’t tell anyone, will you?” he asked, while zipping up his pants.
She stared at him, horrified.
He smirked. “Good.” He patted her on the head lightly and cut her bounds before he left the alley.
It was finally over. He was gone. He just… he left. He treated her like an object, and threw her away in an alley.
She could already imagine the whispers, the looks of pity, the sneers, the taunts. A shudder passed through her body. She shook with silent tears streaming down her face as she grabbed what was left of her clothes. God knows where her shoes where.
She looked up at the sky. That beautiful star, that star had faded away. It had lost its brilliance and was now desolate, desperate.
She flinched and turned to look at a broken Budweiser bottle. The shattered glass was splayed across the floor.
Will you? The question echoed through her mind. Will you, won’t you?
She glanced at the shattered glass. It was only her first month as a grad student in Stanford. She had worked so hard to get here, but here she was. She felt broken.
It’s not real.
She shuddered.
It’s not real.
She pleaded at the dark night sky.
It’s not real. It’s not real.
 All she left behind was her blood and a tattered gray sweatshirt.
Will you?
His last question still echoed through her mind.
She could not bear to see the pity, the pity of her friends, of her family, of her fiance.
Pity.
 She didn’t want her fiance’s pity. She didn’t want anyone’s pity.
It’s not real.
Tears streamed down her face angrily as she wondered why, why her? It was like she was living in some horrendous nightmare, and she was paralyzed. All she wanted to do was wake up, to somehow escape this hell. She didn’t want the people she cared about to look at her with such… such pity, such rue.
She shivered from the freezing cold.
Maybe she wouldn’t be so cold if she wore more clothes.
Or if that man hadn’t destroyed her favorite sweatshirt.
Maybe he wouldn’t have destroyed her sweatshirt if she wore more clothes.
Thump. Thump. She wasn’t sure why her heart that was drumming so loudly. She could just imagine what they would all think, what her fiance would think.
 What a pity.
Pity.
She dug her fingernails into the palms of her hand, and plodded along with her head down. Maybe she could just hide for a moment, pretend like everything was normal.
But could anything be normal anymore?

His yellowed teeth.
She pleaded up at the sky. It looked so dark. Where was the star now? Where had it disappeared to? Had it found some other heaven to entrance, now that she was broken?
I’m sorry, she screamed to the empty night.
 She didn’t know what to do.  A child, apologizing for their mistakes. She never wanted this. She didn’t want THIS.
She looked down at herself.  She was a mess.
What was she thinking?

So she gritted her teeth, snuck into her apartment through the back, took a shower, stumbled into bed, and cried to forget.

© Copyright 2001 Planet Sick-Boy. All Rights Reserved.
If you're wondering how far Hollywood can push the envelope in this post-There's-Something-About-Mary world, look no further than the first film from former Disney chief Joe Roth's new Revolution Studios. All of those years producing animated family films must have warped old Joe's mind just a little bit because Tomcats is one raunchy piece of work. But it's also pretty funny, assuming you can handle jokes about, among other things, diseased testicles, bestiality and dominatrix grandmothers. Tomcats knows what its target audience is, goes all out to entertain it and, in that respect, the film should be a success.
The film tries rather hard to alienate everyone who isn't in that target demographic almost immediately. Tomcats' opening credits feature a group of cartoon cats ogling, chasing and pretty much humping a busty bunch of animated felines while, as if that wasn't already a frat-boy wet dream, a new Offspring song plays in the background. You barely notice the cartoon fade to reality, where, seven years ago, the first member of a group of pussyhounds called "Tomcats" is about to be married. One boner joke later, the unmarried 'Cats decide to kick money into a pot which will be given to the last group member to get hitched.
Flash to present-day Las Vegas, where fat 'Cat Steve (Horatio Sanz, Saturday Night Live) is about to marry a girl named Tricia (Jaime Pressly, Poor White Trash), leaving only Michael (Jerry O'Connell, Mission to Mars) and Kyle (Jake Busey, Enemy of the State) as the group's remaining bachelors. When Michael blows $51,000 playing craps, his life is threatened by a mobster (played by the truly unthreatening Bill Maher) who gives the lad just 30 days to come up with the money.
Hence the crux of Tomcats story - Michael hatches a plan to make Kyle fall in love with one of his many former conquests, leaving him the winner of the kitty, which, thanks to some wise investing, has grown to nearly $500,000 (the movie must have taken place before the NASDAQ "correction"). He strikes a deal with Natalie (Shannon Elizabeth, Scary Movie), an undercover vice cop and the only girl Kyle thinks he could ever even think of marrying, and the two begin to spend time together on recon missions to prepare their strategy. In a completely surprising development, Michael and Natalie end up falling for each other. Wait, I meant unsurprising.
 Parodies of M:I-2 and American Beauty fall pretty flat, and Elizabeth, Tomcats' sparkplug, isn't even in the first 20 minutes, and then disappears for 20 right before the denouement. On the plus side, the finale includes a very funny performance from Garry Marshall. O'Connell, a pretty likeable actor, does a capable job with what seems like a script even Brendan Fraser would have rejected (he even plays a cartoonist, like Fraser's Monkeybone character).
Tomcats was written and directed by See Spot Run scribe Gregory Poirier, who isn't quite in the same league as the brothers Wayans or Farrelly. But it looks like everybody had a blast making it (especially judging from the closing credit outtakes, which were the best non-Jackie Chan clips I've seen in a while), and that makes it more fun to watch.

Sea-level rise is a major consequence of climate change that will continue long after emissions of greenhouse gases have stopped. The 2015 Paris Agreement aims at reducing climate-related risks by reducing greenhouse gas emissions to net zero and limiting global-mean temperature increase. Here we quantify the effect of these constraints on global sea-level rise until 2300, including Antarctic ice-sheet instabilities. We estimate median sea-level rise between 0.7 and 1.2 m, if net-zero greenhouse gas emissions are sustained until 2300, varying with the pathway of emissions during this century. Temperature stabilization below 2 °C is insufficient to hold median sea-level rise until 2300 below 1.5 m. We find that each 5-year delay in near-term peaking of CO 2 emissions increases median year 2300 sea-level rise estimates by ca. 0.2 m, and extreme sea-level rise estimates at the 95th percentile by up to 1 m. Our results underline the importance of near-term mitigation action for limiting long-term sea-level rise risks.
Rising seas are a legacy of present and future climate change. Here the authors show that under the Paris Agreement, emissions in the next decades have a strong influence on the amount of sea level rise in the centuries to come, with the uncertainty dominated by ice-sheet contributions.

It’s pretty common to want to update charts after they’ve been created. When the chart data or options are changed, Chart.js will animate to the new data values and options.
Adding and removing data is supported by changing the data array. To add data, just add data into the data array as seen in this example.
function addData(chart, label, data) {
chart.data.labels.push(label);
chart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
dataset.data.push(data);
});
chart.update();
}
function removeData(chart) {
chart.data.labels.pop();
chart.data.datasets.forEach((dataset) => {
dataset.data.pop();
});
chart.update();
}
To update the options, mutating the options property in place or passing in a new options object are supported.
function updateConfigByMutating(chart) {
chart.options.plugins.title.text = "new title";
chart.update();
}
function updateConfigAsNewObject(chart) {
chart.options = {
responsive: true,
plugins: {
title: {
display: true,
text: "Chart.js",
},
},
scales: {
x: {
display: true,
},
y: {
display: true,
},
},
};
chart.update();
}
Scales can be updated separately without changing other options. To update the scales, pass in an object containing all the customization including those unchanged ones.
Variables referencing any one from chart.scales
would be lost after updating scales with a new id
or the changed type
.
function updateScales(chart) {
var xScale = chart.scales.x;
var yScale = chart.scales.y;
chart.options.scales = {
newId: {
display: true,
},
y: {
display: true,
type: "logarithmic",
},
};
chart.update();
// need to update the reference
xScale = chart.scales.newId;
yScale = chart.scales.y;
}
You can also update a specific scale either by its id.
Code sample for updating options can be found in toggle-scale-type.html.
Sometimes when a chart updates, you may not want an animation. To achieve this you can call update
with 'none'
as mode.

Telluric correction with TelFit
{% endblock media %}
{% block main %}
# TelFit #
## An Object-Oriented Framework for Fitting the Telluric Absorption Spectrum ##
TelFit is a Python code I wrote specifically to fit the telluric absorption spectrum in astronomical data. I have been using it extensively in my project searching for companions to A and B stars, but it is sufficiently general that it should work on any data. The code is essentially a wrapper to [LBLRTM](http://rtweb.aer.com/lblrtm.html), the Line-By-Line Radiative Transfer Model. It vastly simplifies the process of generating a telluric model, and can efficiently remove the telluric absorption lines in my high-resolution optical and near-infrared echelle spectra of A and B stars. I have done some tests on late-type stellar spectra as well with good results.
I recently published this code. You can access the paper [here](http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014AJ....148...53G).
TelFit is packaged with LBLRTM. If you download TelFit, please also go [here](http://rtweb.aer.com/lblrtm_download.php) to inform the developers of LBLRTM. This helps them keep track of who is using the code and informs future code development.
I will try my best to respond to questions about/problems with the code. However, I am busy and may not be able to help your or may not respond for quite some time. I encourage you to submit issues [here](https://github.com/kgullikson88/Telluric-Fitter/issues) rather than emailing me.
If you have issues, please check the [FAQ page]({{ content_url('FAQ.html') }})

Marmaduke was sitting on the fence. He wasn’t thinking of anything in particular, just looking around. Jehosophat called to him from the barnyard,—
“Come’n an’ play ‘I spy.’”
But Marmaduke only grumbled,—
“Don’t want to.”
“Well, let’s play ‘Cross Tag’ then,” Jehosophat suggested.
“Don’t want to,” repeated his brother again, not very politely.
Jehosophat thought for a moment, then he suggested something worth-while:
“I’ll tell you what, let’s play ‘Duck-on-the-Rock.’”
Now as every boy in the world—at least in America—knows, that is a wonderful game, but Marmaduke only said very crossly,—
“I don’t want to play any of your ol’ games.” Now when Marmaduke acted that way there must have been something the matter. Perhaps he had gobbled down his oatmeal too fast—in great big gulps—when he should have let the Thirty White Horses “champ, champ, champ,” all those oats. They were cooked oats, but then the Thirty White Horses, unlike Teddy and Hal and ole Methusaleh, prefer cooked oats to raw.
Perhaps he had eaten a green apple.
Anyway, he felt tired and out-of-sorts; tired of his toys, tired of all the games, even such nice ones as “Duck-on-the-rock” and “Red Rover.”
There was nothing to do but sit on the fence.
Still, the world looked pretty nice from up there. It always looked more interesting from a high place, and sometimes it gave you an excited feeling. Of course, the big elm was a better perch, or the roof of the barn, and Marmaduke often wondered what it would be like to see the world from a big balloon, but the fence was good enough. It curved up over a little hill, and he could see lots of the world from there.
He looked over towards the West, where the Sun marched into his barn every night. Fatty Hamm declared that the Sun kept a garage behind that hill, but Marmaduke insisted it was a barn, for he liked horses best, and the Sun must drive horses. There was a real hill there, not little like the one where he sat on the fence, but a big one, ‘most as big as a mountain, Marmaduke thought. Sometimes it was green, and sometimes grey or blue, and once or twice he had seen it almost as purple as a pansy.
But it was Fall now, and the hill had turned brown. Over it he could see little figures moving. He looked at them very carefully, with one eye shut to see them the better. Then he decided that the bigger ones were men on horses, the little ones dogs. They all looked tiny because they were so far away.
As they came nearer and the sun shone on them, he was pretty sure the men had red coats. Could they be soldiers ?
Just then the Toyman came by, with coils of wire and clippers in his hand. He was on his way to mend the fence in the North Pasture.
“’Llo Toyman!” said Marmaduke.
 Settin’ on the top of the world and enjoyin’ yourself?”
“I was wondering what those men over there were doing.” And the boy waved his hand towards the little black figures on the hill.
“Why, that’s the hunt,” explained the Toyman. “The rich folks, having nothing better to do, are killin’ time.”
Marmaduke was puzzled.
“Are they really hunting Time ?” he asked. “I thought maybe they were hunting lions or tigers.”
“No, not today,” the Toyman responded, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but they’re only after Reddy.”
“Reddy Toms?” the little boy exclaimed. “Why, whatever did he do?
However, the Toyman said it was all a mistake.
“No, not that tad,” he explained, “it’s Reddy Fox they’re after.”
“What!” exclaimed Marmaduke. “Does it take all those big men to hunt one little fox?”
“It seems so, son,” the Toyman returned, “but that’s the way of the world.”
“Well, I think it’s mean,” insisted Marmaduke. “Those men are nothing’ but—but—dumbbells !”
The Toyman threw back his head and laughed. That was a new expression to him, but it was a perfectly good one.  But the Toyman must have understood it anyway, for he went on,—
“That’s my sentiments exactly.  Now if it was lions or tigers, as you suggest, why, that would be different.”
“You bet it would!” Marmaduke replied. “I just wish it was .” Now, of course, he should have said “were,” as the teacher in the Red Schoolhouse was forever telling him, but a little boy can’t always remember correct English when a hunt is coming so close.
“Just set tight, boy, and you’ll see their red coats soon.”
And, waving his clippers, the Toyman went on his way to the North Pasture.
But Marmaduke didn’t need any advice. He had spotted those red coats already. They were much nearer now, for they rode very fast. Already the horses were leaping the fence of the Miller Farm, and the dogs were crisscrossing over the field, making lots of letter W’s as they ran—hundreds of them, Marmaduke was sure. And they followed something—something so small he could hardly see what it was. But he guessed it must be Reddy.
So many fences they leaped, and so many stone walls! Now they were near the Brook, and yes, he could see the red coats, very bright and plain now.
And then he spied Reddy. His coat wasn’t as gay as those the men wore. Theirs were bright like cherries, and his was the color of chestnuts. It seemed such a shame to want his poor little coat when the men had such nice ones themselves.
“Cracky!” he exclaimed. One of the “ole hunters” had fallen in the Brook. And Marmaduke hoped that red coat would get soaked and soaked and run like the stockings Mother had bought from the pedlar. And he hoped that “ole hunter” would get wet to the skin, and shiver and shiver, and have to call in the doctor who’d prescribe the very worst medicine there was in the world. It would serve that “ole hunter” right if he’d almost die. But Marmaduke hoped the poor horse wouldn’t break his leg. It wasn’t the horses’ fault they were chasing Reddy.
Now the hunters were lost in Jake Miller’s Woods. All he could see were patches of red, here and there, in the bushes, but he heard the deep voices of the dogs, all the time, calling and calling.
Then all-of-a-sudden something happened. And Marmaduke liked all-of-a-sudden things to happen—they were so exciting.
A little streak of fur, with tail flying behind like a long pretty hat brush, galloped across the Apgar field, then the very field where Marmaduke sat, perched on the fence.
The dogs were right after Reddy, running hard, too, but they were two fields farther back. Reddy, you see, had fooled them in that wood, and he had gotten a good headstart.
My, how Reddy was running!
Marmaduke stood up on the fence and shouted:
“Hooray, go it Reddy!”
 He was frightened, too, but he forgot all about the bump on his forehead, and picked himself up, and ran after Reddy across the field towards the barnyard, which, fortunately, was just on the other side.
“Ooooooohhhhh!”—a very deep “Oooooohhhh!” came from behind him from the throats of the dogs. They were only one field away now, and it sounded as if they were pretty mad.
But Reddy had reached the corner of the field where the blackberry bushes lined the fence. Now usually Reddy would have looked all around those bushes until he found an opening; then he would have stepped daintily through it. But he didn’t do that today, oh no! You see his family has a great reputation for wisdom, and Reddy must have been just as wise as the man in Mother Goose, for he neither stopped nor stayed, but jumped right in those brambles and managed somehow to get through the rails of the fence to the other side. He left part of his pretty red coat in the briars. However, that was better than leaving it all to those dogs who were howling not far behind.
And now the Little Fox found himself near the barn and flew towards it so fast that his legs fairly twinkled as he ran.
The Foolish White Geese were taking their morning waddle, and Reddy ran plump into them.  Still, he didn’t wait, but left them beating their wings and stretching their long necks to hiss, hiss, hiss, as they scattered in all directions. I guess Reddy wished his legs were as long as their necks.
Now in the old days when rich folks lived in castles and robber knights quarreled and fought every day of the week, there were always places of sanctuary, where any man could be safe from harm. That is just what Reddy saw in front of him, a place of sanctuary for himself.
It was funny, but it had been prepared by little Wienerwurst. And Wienerwurst was really Reddy’s enemy, for all dogs like to chase foxes whenever they get the chance. It was a little hole, just the right size for Wienerwurst, just the right size for Reddy. The little yellow doggie wasn’t there now. He had dug it that morning to catch the big rat hiding somewhere below the floor of the barn. He had started to build a tunnel under the wall, and had been a long time working at it when Mother Green came from the house. She carried a fine large bone, with lots of meat left on it, too. And, of course, when the little dog smelled that bone and meat, much as he liked rats, he just had to leave his work at the tunnel and run straight for the bone, leaving the hole waiting for Reddy.
Straight into it Reddy ran, just as Marmaduke and the big dogs reached the fence and the blackberry bushes, all at the same time. Now Marmaduke could have cried because the hunter dogs would reach the hole before he could get there and cover it up, and they would reach down into that hole and drag Reddy out by his pretty red coat and eat him all up.
But when he stuck his head through the rail he saw help coming. Jehosophat was there and he had heard those bad dogs and seen them, too, coming on with their big mouths open and their tongues hanging out as if they wanted to swallow Reddy down in one gulp. And Jehosophat could see the redcoats on the horses not far away. They had reached the big oak in the field and were coming on very fast.
He looked around. There was the very thing. A nice, broad cover of an egg-crate. It would fit exactly. So, quick as a wink, Jehosophat picked it up and clapped it over the hole. Then he looked around again. It wasn’t quite safe yet. But there was the big rock which they used for “Duck-on-the-rock.” The very thing! It was almost more than he could manage, that rock, but he pulled and he tugged, and he tugged and he pulled, ‘til he had it safe on the crate-cover over the hole—and Reddy was saved!
It was just in time, too, for the dogs had come barking and yelping and bellowing, and now all they could do was to sniff, sniff, sniff around that hole.
Then over the fence into the barnyard jumped the horses; and Marmaduke came running up; and the Toyman rushed over from the field; and Father came out of the barn; and Mother flew out of the house; and Rover and Brownie and Wienerwurst raced from the pond, each one to see what all the hullabaloo was about.
 It was a wonder that the boys weren’t frightened enough to run away, but they didn’t. They just stood their ground. Still, they were glad enough to see Father and the Toyman close by.
And now one of the men in redcoats had dismounted from his horse, and Marmaduke called to him,—
“You shan’t touch Reddy, you shan’t !”
He was half crying, too, not for himself, but for Reddy.
The man was taking off his cap. He was very polite, and he bowed to Mother.
“We’ll pay for all damages, Madam, but let us have the brush.”
The boys thought that was funny, calling their mother “madam,” when everybody in the neighborhood called her “Mis’ Green.” And what did he want a brush for? To brush his fine cap and red coat or his shiny boots? Or to wipe up Reddy out of his hole? However, the Toyman was whispering:
“He means Reddy’s tail. That’s what hunters call the brush.”
When Marmaduke heard that, he grabbed tight hold of the Toyman’s hand on one side and of his father’s on the other, and shouted:
”Don’t let them get Reddy!”
But Father was talking to the man. He called him “Mr. Seymour-Frelinghuysen,” and both the boys wondered if all people with fine horses and shiny boots and red coats had to have long, funny-sounding names like that.
“It’s all right about the damages, Mr. Seymour-Frelinghuysen,” Father was saying, “but I guess we won’t give up the fox today.”
 As for the Toyman, he had a funny twinkle in his eyes.
Of course, there was a lot of grumbling on the part of the redcoats, and a lot of barking and growling from the big hunter dogs, but the men had to get on their horses and call off their dogs and ride away.
“I guess they knew they were in the wrong,” said Jehosophat, after they had tied up Rover and Brownie and Wienerwurst, and taken the stone and board away from Reddy’s hole.
Then they looked in the hole-but no Reddy!
Meanwhile the Toyman had gone into the barn.
“Come here!” he shouted.
So they ran in, and there, in the corner, hidden under the hay was Reddy, all muddy from the brook and torn from the briars. His eyes looked very bright, but they looked pitiful too.
The Toyman put out his hand and stroked his fur. At first Reddy showed his teeth and snapped at the Toyman just like a baby wolf. But that hand came towards him so quietly, and the voice sounded so gentle, that Reddy lay still. You see, the Toyman somehow understood how to treat foxes and all kinds of animals just as well as he did boys, little or big.
“What doesn’t that man know?” Mother had said once, and right she was, too.
It took some time to train Reddy, for, although he was very small, he was very wild. However, the Toyman managed to tame him. Perhaps it was because the Little Lost Fox was wounded and sore and hurt all over. Anyway, he seemed to appreciate what the Toyman did for him, for all he was a little wild child of the fields and the forests.
They built him a house, all for himself, and a fence of wire. It was great fun to see him poking his sharp nose through the holes and stepping around so daintily on his pretty little feet.
He always had such a wise look. In fact, he was too wise altogether, for one day he was gone, through some little hole he had dug under his fence.—And they never saw him again—at least, they haven’t to this day.
At first the three children felt very sad about this, but when the Toyman explained it, they saw how everything was all right.
“You see,” the Toyman said, “he’s happier in the woods and fields than being cooped up here.”
Marmaduke thought about that for a moment.
“Anyway,” he began, “anyway,——”
“Yes?” said Mother, trying to help him out.
“Anyway, I’m glad we saved him from the ole redcoats,” he finished.
And maybe Reddy will visit them again some day. Stranger things than that have happened. So, who knows!

Spain coach calls up Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Dani Olmo
by The Associated PressMADRID (AP) — Spain coach Robert Moreno called up 21-year-old Dinamo Zagreb attacking midfielder Dani Olmo for the first time on Friday for a pair of European Championship qualifying matches.
Olmo came up through Barcelona’s training academy before joining the Croatian club. He helped Spain win this year’s under-21 European Championship.
Olmo has also scored three goals for Dinamo in qualifying for the group stage of the Champions League, where he has added one more. Dinamo has one win, two draws and a loss in Group C.
Spain has already qualified for Euro 2020. It will host Malta in Cádiz on Nov. 15 and Romania in Madrid three days later.
Moreno also recalled strikers Álvaro Morata and Paco Alcacer, both of whom missed the last squad for games against Norway and Sweden.

magazino/Warehous Creator
Magazino
The Magazino GmbH is a robotics startup based in Munich, Germany. The products of the company are autonomous logistics robots that get deployed in the warehouses of the customer to reduce the workload for the employees during times with a high amount of orders (christmas for example) or during times when the employees are on vacation or a high rate of sickness related drop outs is to be expected. The robots, once configured, can be dropped into the warehouse. New robots can use the configurations of the already deployed machines, such that the number of robots in the warehouse could be, in theory, very dynamic.
The Project
Description
The Magazino robots (TORU, SOTO) can generate a map using two dimensional LIDAR. With this map, a robot can localize itself and find paths from one to another location. However, for the autonomous operation of the robot, it needs more information. This semantic data (like compartment names, locked off areas and similar) can not easily be generated by the robot and therefore has to be modeled and stored in a configuration file.
The Warehouse Creator is the graphical frontend to that configuration file. With it shelves can be aligned with the robots LIDAR map, any warehouse object can be named and areas can be allocated and configured.
Although the project had a potentially high value for the deployment of the robots, it was without maintenance for a while when I took it over as a whole. The main functionality was already present: the GUI, the ability to create the warehouse model and the alignment of it with the LIDAR map, the import and export of the configuration file.

I’ve heard The Design of Everyday Things recommended a number of times and recently picked up a copy. This book was my introduction to design theory; the most in-depth information I had gotten on design up until this had come from blog posts. I don’t have much to compare the book to as a result but I found a lot of valuable information from it.
The book started out by laying the groundwork for the terminology used in the book. The clarification of “affordances” and “signifiers” was helpful given my lack of background knowledge. The two terms are often conflated as the same but the author noted that it is important to recognize their differences. Affordances are the abstract utilities provided by the product whereas signifiers are the aspects of the product that explain its abilities either directly or indirectly. The key to good design, Norman explains, is in creating useful and easily understood signifiers.
One other fundamental point that Norman reiterated throughout the book was that there is no such thing as “Human Error”. Many times we will blame faults on human error when the root cause was actually bad design. People tend to act in good faith and mistakes can be avoided or mitigated with well designed products.
Norman built on these ideas to provide actionable items for improving product design. He spent a lot of the book discussing mappings or the relationship between controls and their effects. The common example used for this was a stovetop and its burners. It would be clearest if the heat control for each burner could be physically attached to the burner it controls, but obviously this is impractical. The next best solution would be to mount the dial very physically close to the burner it controls, but that does not always fit with the overall layout of the stove. The next best, and most common, solution is to arrange the dials in the same shape as the burner arrangement. We can easily determine which dial controls which burner if they are in a clear shape.
One other means of ensuring that mistakes are not made is by enforcing constraints on the product’s abilities. The clearest example to me was the reminder to save a document when closing out a text editor. The program does not allow you to exit the program in one click because it can often result in a mistake of failing to save the work that was done.
I found the book to be pleasantly dense with information and there were a lot of good takeaways. This did make for a rather dry read at times, however, and I didn’t find the book to be as entertaining as I thought it would be. It’s a good middle ground between a textbook on design and a casual book or blog post.


Son of former German president stabbed to death
by AFPAn assailant has stabbed to death the son of former German president Richard von Weizsaecker in attack at a Berlin hospital that left one other person seriously injured, police said Wednesday.
The motive for the attack on Fritz von Weizsaecker, 59, on Tuesday evening was unclear.
Von Weizsaecker, a doctor, had just delivered a lecture on liver diseases at the Schlosspark hospital in the western Berlin neighbourhood of Charlottenburg when he was stabbed, a police spokesman said.
He died at the scene despite efforts to save him.
The suspect was overpowered by other people present, one of whom was severely injured by the attacker.
Police opened an investigation and were expected to release information about the assailant and the possible motive.
Chief of the liberal FDP party, Christian Lindner, voiced his grief about his friend on Twitter, saying that “once again we ask ourselves what sort of world are we living in.”
He was married with four children.
His father, Richard von Weizsaecker, was considered one of Germany’s great post-war political figures.
The elder Weizsaecker was president of West Germany from 1984 to 1990 and then held the same position in united Germany from 1990 to 1994.
He was previously a deputy in the lower house of parliament for the CDU now led by Chancellor Angela Merkel, and mayor of West Berlin.
He died in 2015.

This tale was not at first written as a story for little girls and boys. It was told to grown-up people by a kind and gentle lady with a big loving heart. This lady was called Harriet Beecher Stowe, and she told the story to grown-up people to make them think.
Harriet Beecher Stowe lived in a country where there were slaves, that is, in a country where men and women might be bought and sold like cattle. The people who lived in that country were so used to having slaves that they never thought of the miserable and unhappy life which the poor slaves led. But by degrees a few people began to see what a dreadful thing slavery was. Among these people was this kind lady.  She longed to comfort them as she comforted her own little ones when they were in trouble.
So she wrote this book about the slaves, and many of the things she tells of really happened. She told the story to make people think about the cruel way in which slaves were treated, and it did make them think about it. The book was bought by people all over the world, and those who could not read it in English had it translated into their own languages, and some time afterwards all slaves were set free.
'Uncle Tom's Cabin' is a sad story, but there are no slaves now who can be made to suffer like Uncle Tom and the other people in the book, so we need not be sad over it. We should rather be glad when we remember that this very story helped to make the poor slaves happy and free.
The story should be very interesting to girls, because it shows what a woman can do. We read in history of kings and queens who did great things, but the lady who wrote this book was only a simple person like ourselves, yet she did such a great thing in telling this story that she helped to make history just as much as many of these kings and queens, and perhaps her name will be remembered as long as theirs.
Of course, as the book was not really written for little girls and boys, a good deal has had to be left out or made different, but I have tried to tell the story as much as possible as Harriet Beecher Stowe did, for I do not think any one could tell it better.

Getting started¶
Installation¶
The AMPL API can function as an add-on to any existing AMPL installation. If you do not yet have an AMPL installation on the computer where you will be working with the API, see our demo page or trial page to download a working version that can be installed quickly.
In order to install the Python API you just need to run
pip install amplpy
Or alternatively:
python -m pip install amplpy
Note: For Windows, Linux, and macOS, the amplpy
package comes with 26 binary
wheels for Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. Please make sure that you are
using the latest version of pip
before installing amplpy
(upgrade using
pip install pip --upgrade
or python -m pip install pip --upgrade
).
If a binary wheel for your platform is not available,
a C++ compiler and python development libraries will be required.
Initial test¶
To begin, open a command/terminal window and clone our GitHub repository:
git clone git@github.com:ampl/amplpy.git
To complete an initial test, run firstexample
with
python amplpy/examples/firstexample.py <solver>
where optionally <solver>
is the name of a solver that has been installed with AMPL.
(If a solver is not specified, AMPL’s default choice will be used.) This will solve
several small diet problems and then display the optimal amounts of the foods
from the last solution. Alternatively, you can download the examples directly from
https://github.com/ampl/amplpy/tree/master/examples.
Note that the folder containing the AMPL executable should be in the system search path.
Otherwise, the error message “AMPL could not be started” will be shown.
If the AMPL installation directory is not in the system search path,
you can add it passing a new Environment
to AMPL
as follows:
from amplpy import AMPL, Environment
ampl = AMPL(Environment('full path to the AMPL installation directory'))
Note that you may need to use raw strings (e.g., r’C:\ampl\ampl.mswin64’) or escape the slashes (e.g., ‘C:\\ampl\\ampl.mswin64’) if the path includes backslashes.
Development¶
Import the amplpy
modude with
import amplpy
Together with your existing AMPL implementation, this will provide the full object library and access to all AMPL functions. Please make sure that the folder containing the AMPL executable is in the system search path.
Deployment¶
To deploy AMPL API applications to users who do not have their own AMPL installations,
include with your application the AMPL executable (ampl
or ampl.exe
), and the amplpy
package.
Note that the folder containing the AMPL executable should be in the system search path.


Probably this would be OK.
The copyFiles() method finally gets down to copying the file. The loop that does the work is just a few statements long!

class CopyMaker { String sourceName, destName; BufferedReader source; BufferedWriter dest; String line; private void copyFiles() { try { line = source. ; while ( ) { dest. (line); line = source. ; } } catch ( IOException iox ) { System.out.println("Problem reading or writing" ); } } }
Click in the blanks.

In the first part of this blog we did configure the Geo DNS server and the Database Availability Group. We now will continue with configuring the CAS role and after that perform some testing.
The first step is to set all the url’s to the same value. This because each user will use the same url when connecting from the internet and will be redirected to the correct datacenter using the GeoDNS solution.
| Using the Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory _cmdlet we can see the current config. Because we only need a few parameters we will use the | select _option to only select the parameters we need: |
| _Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | Select Identity, ExternalUrl, InternalUrl_ |
To set all the url’s to the same value we will use the _Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory _cmdlet i.c.w. the _Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory _cmdlet:
| _Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory | Set-WebServicesVirtualDirectory –ExternalUrl https://mail.myuclab.nl/EWS/exchange.asmx -InternalUrl https://mail.myuclab.nl/EWS/exchange.asmx_ |
After these URL’s have been fixed it’s time for the remaining URL’s to be corrected:
OWA:
| _Get-OwaVirtualDirectory | Set-OwaVirtualDirectory –ExternalUrl https://mail.myuclab.nl/owa |
–InternalUrl https://mail.myuclab.nl/owa_
ECP:
| _Get-EcpVirtualDirectory | Set-EcpVirtualDirectory –ExternalUrl https://mail.myuclab.nl/ecp |
–InternalUrl https://mail.myuclab.nl/ecp_
OAB:
| _Get-OabVirtualDirectory | Set-OabVirtualDirectory –ExternalUrl https://mail.myuclab.nl/OAB |
–InternalUrl https://mail.myuclab.nl/OAB_
ActiveSync:
| _Get-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory | Set-ActiveSyncVirtualDirectory -Internalurl https://mail.myuclab.nl/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync -Externalurl https://mail.myuclab.nl/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync_ |
When the URL’s for the webservices have been configured it’s time to configure the Autodiscover url on both servers:
Set-ClientAccessServer –Identity EX01 –AutodiscoverInternalUri https://autodiscover.myuclab.nl/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml__
And for the next server:
Set-ClientAccessServer –Identity EX02 –AutodiscoverInternalUri https://autodiscover.myuclab.nl/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml__
Since we haven’t enabled Outlook Anywhere will need to enable it and configure it to use the correct FQDN. To do this we will need to use the Enable-OutlookAnywhere cmdlet:
| _get-outlookanywhere | set-OutlookAnywhere -InternalHostname mail.myuclab.nl -ExternalHostname mail.myuclab.nl -InternalClientsRequireSsl: $true -ExternalClientsRequireSsl: $true_ |
Now we have configured all services with the correct url’s it’s time to generate a certificate request:
First we generate the request and put the output in a variable called $newcert:
$newcert = New-ExchangeCertificate -GenerateRequest -SubjectName
“c=NL,o=Johan Veldhuis,cn=mail.myuclab.nl” -DomainName “autodiscover.myuclab.nl” -PrivateKeyExportable $true
Make sure you don’t forget the set the PrivateKeyExportable to true. This will give us the option to export the certificate including the private key which is needed on the other Exchange server.
Next step is to put the content of the variable in a txt file:
| _newcert | out-file c:\install\csr.txt_ |
Now we can send the CSR to the CA. Once we received the certificate we can install it on the Exchange server which is used to create the CSR:
Import-ExchangeCertificate –FileData ([byte []]$(Get-Content –Path “c:\install\certificate.cer” –Encoding Byte –ReadCount 0))
Next step is to assign the certificate to the services:
| Get-ExchangeCertificate –ThumbPrint thumbprint | Enable-ExchangeCertificate –Services POP,IMAP,IIS,SMTP |
In this example you will need to replace thumbprint by the _thumbprint _of the certificate we have installed. You can find the value of the thumbprint by running the following cmdlet:
| _Get-ExchangeCertificate | select Subject,Thumbprint_ |
Once this step has completed we can proceed with the next server. First we need to export the certificate including the private key:
$cert = Export-ExchangeCertificate -Thumbprint thumbprint -BinaryEncoded:$true -Password (Get-Credential).password
This will export the certificate and will ask you for a password to protect the certificate as it includes the private key. The output is stored in a variable called $cert.
Once the output is stored in the variable it’s time to create the PFX file:
Set-Content -Path “c:\certificates\cert.pfx” -Value $cert.FileData -Encoding Byte
Copy the PFX file to the other Exchange server and import it:
Import-ExchangeCertificate -FileData ([Byte[]]$(Get-Content -Path c:\certificates\cert.pfx -Encoding byte -ReadCount 0)) -Password:(Get-Credential).password
Once it has been imported we can assign it just as we did on the other server:
| Get-ExchangeCertificate –ThumbPrint thumbprint | Enable-ExchangeCertificate –Services POP,IMAP,IIS,SMTP |
With this step we have completed the implementation of our Geo DNS solution.
As with every deployment now comes the most important step: verify if everything works.
There are various clients we can use for testing our Geo DNS solution among them are:
- Outlook Web App (OWA)
- Outlook
We will skip ActiveSync in this test but normally you would of course test each connection method which is available.
To perform these tests we will need to reconfigure our client so it matches one of the configured networks. For example:
IP: <IP_ADDRESS>
Subnet: <IP_ADDRESS>
Besides this don’t to change the DNS settings so the Geo DNS will be used for lookups.
Because all clients depend on DNS first verify if that works, although we checked it in the 1st part of this blog.
To test this we can use nslookup:
From a client in the 192.168.2.x range we will get this answer:
From a client in the 192.168.3.x range we will get this answer:
So far so good let’s verify if we can connect to OWA from both subnets. To perform this test simply open your favorite browser and browse to the OWA url, in this scenario https://mail.myuclab.nl/owa:
As you can see OWA is displayed correctly. Once this test has been performed you will need to change the network settings of the client again to match the other network. Then perform the same test again and you should still have a working OWA only then proxied via the other server.
As a final test we will perform several checks using Outlook. After configuring the profile you can see we’re connected to Outlook. When this is completed we verified that both the connection to the mailbox and autodiscover work:
Now let’s change the client’s network settings and see what happens. You might see a short disconnected but after a few seconds you are connected via the other server:
And Outlook continuous to synchronize the mailbox for the user. Besides this test you might want to verify some other things via Outlook:
- verify of free/busy works
- verify if Outlook can download the addressbook
- verify if you can connect to the Exchange Control Panel using Outlook
Here ends the second and last part of how to build a Geo DNS solution in your test environment. Keep in mind that if you are planning to use Geo DNS you will need a “real” Geo DNS solution. This solution was only used for testing purposes and should not be used in a production environment.


Auto evaluation
February 21 2007, 5:15 PM
Today, it was my very last class. So I asked my student to evaluate me. Since it was my very first time I gave course, I wanted
I gave them 11 statements they had to rate from 1 (I fully disagree) to 5 (I fully agree).
1) The course is structured
2) The explanations were clear
3) The teacher answer to my questions
4) The tests are concordant with the matter we saw during the class
5) The tests are easy
6) In average, I spent X hours to study for each test
7) The content of the course is coherent (the order and the goal of the different themes )
8) The class is boring
9) According to me, the class was too slow (1) or too fast (5)
10) The teacher can get the attention of the audience
11) In overall, I would rate the course X/10 and the teacher Y/10
They had to answer on a blank page without putting their names. It was anonymous (in order to have real critics).
And I promised I won't have a look at the results before being in the plane.

Sourdough Margherita Pie
Story
We love pizza. We make it quite a bit. In our kitchen I haven't been able to nail a pizza with really good lift on the crust because we don't have a broiler in our gas oven... or so I thought! Katie pointed out that our broiler was beneath the oven, which is, apparently, pretty conventional but something I'd never had before. Tonight I threw the stone in there, pulled out some Buddy sourdough we had working and tried our classic Margherita. In honor of the World Cup starting today and the Budweiser sourdough crust, we paired this one with a Budweiser in the World Cup Aluminum Bottle. This pairing was on point.
Recipe
Budweiser Sourdough Margherita Pizza
June 12, 2014
Budweiser sourdough margherita pizza
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Yield: 1 pie
Ingredients:
Buddy Neapolitan Pizza Dough: 1 servingSan Marzano Tomatoes: 9oz (1/3 of a 28oz can)
Fresh Mozzarella: 3oz, thickly sliced
Fresh Basil: 6 leaves
Salt: 2 tsp
Directions:
1. Remove dough from fridge at least one hour prior to preparing. Load pizza stone into oven/broiler and preheat to Broil or 550 F one hour before preparing.
2. Flour peel or board with flour or corn meal.
3. Crush tomatoes in a bowl with salt.
4. Stretch dough slowly until it just begins to become translucent.
5. Work quickly -- the less time on the board, the easier the pie will be to remove. Add sauce (be sparing or dough will get too soggy), basil, then mozzarella
6. Transfer pie to stone and cook for 4-5 minutes or until crust is crisp.

Pairing - Budweiser
We paired this pie with a Budweiser. Budweiser's biscuit note picks up the breadiness of the sourdough. The balanced maltiness amplifies the sweetness of the San Marzano tomatoes. Budweiser's crisp, clean finish (from using rice as an adjunct) helps cut the creaminess of the fresh mozz. Really nice combination and it is very cool to taste a hint of the Budweiser in the sourdough -- since that is all that Buddy has been drinking since January -- and then get the full punch of it in the glass.
