A front end developer is aware of design. If they aren't a designer themselves, they know how important design is. They have good taste in design. They know about the tools involved. They know where the design role fits into the process.
A front end developer is aware of the back end. If they aren't a back end coder themselves, they know how important the back end is. They know what the back end is capable of delivering and what it isn't. They know the responsibilities back end developers have. They know the languages involved. They know how to ask for what they need on the front end.
A front end developer is aware of the network. They know that websites are delivered over the internet, a network, and that that network is a wild and sometimes unpredictable place. They know networks can be on or off, fast or slow, and reliable or unreliable.
A front end developer is aware of performance. If they aren't entirely performance focused themselves, they know that performance is vital to a website's success. They know performance is a complex world onto itself. They know there are quick wins and long term struggles. They know that so long as the back end is fast, the other 80% of the time a website is loading is a front end concern.
A front end developer is aware of content strategy. If they aren't a content strategist themselves, they know that websites live and die by the content on them. They know that the lack of a content plan can cause problems that you may not be able to develop your way out of. They know that the people that use the website is what matters and those people need to find what they need and expect it to be in good shape.
A front end developer is aware of databases. The content lives there. The content must be in good shape. The front end developer can only work with what comes out of those databases. The front end developer needs to combine what comes out of those databases with templates to make the website happen.
A front end developer is aware of testing. So many kinds! Integration testing. Regression testing. User testing!
A front end developer is aware of systems. They might be responsible for implementing a design system, or an icon system, or a coding style guide. They might have to create those systems themselves. They might need to document those systems.
A front end developer is aware of devops. They are writing and committing code along with every other coder on the project, so they need to adhere to the same setup as everyone else. If they didn't write the build system themselves, they know what it is, what it does, and what it is capable of. If they didn't set up deployment themselves, they know how to use it.
A front end developer is aware of servers. Without them, there is no website.
A front end developer is aware of accessibility. If they aren't well versed in building for accessibility themselves, they know that it's important. They know how to test for it. They know who to talk to about it. They know there is quick wins and long term struggles regarding it.
A front end developer is aware of the device landscape. They know the web is everywhere these days and a good website needs to meet users there.  The front end developer is aware of the unknown.

Getting Started
Prerequisites
A workspace on Pachyderm Hub (recommended) or Pachyderm running locally
Python 3.6 or higher
Installation
via PyPI:
pip install python-pachyderm
via source
download desired version here (under assets)
make init
in folder root-level
Hello World example
Creates a repo, commits data to the repo (versioning the data), and reads the data back from the repo.
import python_pachyderm
# Connects to a pachyderm cluster on localhost:30650
# For other connection options, see the API docs
client = python_pachyderm.Client()
# Create a pachyderm repo called `test`
client.create_repo("test")
# Create a file in (repo="test", branch="master") at `/dir_a/data.txt`
# Similar to `pachctl put file test@master:/dir_a/data.txt`
with client.commit("test", "master") as commit:
client.put_file_bytes(commit, "/dir_a/data.txt", b"hello world")
# Get the file
f = client.get_file(("test", "master"), "/dir_a/data.txt")
print(f.read()) # >>> b"hello world"
Since client.get_file()
returns a file-like object, you can pass it into your favorite analysis packages.
import pandas as pd
f = client.get_file(("my_repo", "my_branch"), "/path_to/my_data.csv")
df = pd.read_csv(f)
Hello World example with Pachyderm Pipelines
Creates a data-driven pipeline that transforms the data and outputs results to a new repo. This example pipeline counts the occurrences of the word hello
in the repo. Continued from the example above…
from python_pachyderm.service import pps_proto
# Create a pipeline that logs frequency of the word "hello" in `test`
# repo to a file in the `word_count` repo (which is created automatically)
# Any time data is committed to the `test` repo, this pipeline will
# automatically trigger.
client.create_pipeline(
"word_count",
transform=pps_proto.Transform(
cmd=["bash"],
stdin=[
"grep -roh hello /pfs/test/ | wc -w > /pfs/out/count.txt"
]
),
input=pps_proto.Input(
pfs=pps_proto.PFSInput(repo="test", branch="master", glob="/")
)
)
# Wait for new commit, triggered by pipeline run, to finish
client.wait_commit(("word_count", "master"))
# Check `count.txt` for "hello" count
f = client.get_file(("word_count", "master"), "count.txt")
print(f.read()) # >>> b"1"
# Add more data to the `test` repo
with client.commit("test", "master") as commit:
client.put_file_bytes(commit, "/data2.txt", b"hello hello from the top of the world")
# Wait for commit to finish
client.wait_commit(commit.id)
# Check `count.txt` for "hello" count
f = client.get_file(("word_count", "master"), "count.txt")
print(f.read()) # >>> b"3"
For more sophisticated examples, see the examples directory. To learn more about what you can do with Pachyderm, check out the docs.

Data Types
This page defines data types that are commonly used by many External API requests. The page is divided in several sections that start with general information about how the types are supposed to work.
Basic
This section defines basic data types used in the External API specification.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
string |
An UTF-8 encoded string |
boolean |
true or false |
integer |
An integer number, i.e. [-][0-9]+[0-9]* |
Extended
This section describes extended data types used in the External API specification.
array
The External API makes use of JSON arrays often. We indicate the element type in the brackets, e.g.
array[string]
.
The empty array [] is allowed.
Examples
["String1", "String2"]
[]
object
The External API makes use of JSON objects.
The empty object {} might be allowed.
Examples
{
"myObject1": {
"key": "value";
},
"myObject2": {
"array": [1, 2, 3]
},
"valid": false
}
{}
file
This data type indicates that a file is needed as parameter.
flavor
Opencast uses flavors to locate tracks, attachments and catalogs associated to events. Flavors have a type and a
subtype and are written in the form type
+ "/" + subtype
.
flavor
::= type
+ "/" + subtype
whereas both type
and subtype
consist of ([a-z][A-Z][1-9])+([a-z][A-Z][1-9][+-])*
Example
dublincore/episode
property
Opencast often uses sets of key-value pairs to associate properties to objects. The External API uses
JSON objects to represent those properties. Both the name of the JSON object field and its value are of type string
.
Example
{
"key": "value",
"live": "true"
}
Date and Time
| Type | Encoding | Description |
|---|---|---|
date |
ISO 8601 | Date |
datetime |
ISO 8601 | Date and Time |
Examples
date
:
2018-03-11
2018-03-11T13:23:51Z
Recurrence Rule
To define a set of recurring events within a given time period, Opencast uses recurrence rules.
For more details about reccurrence rules, please refer to the Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar).
Example
"rrule":"FREQ=WEEKLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR;BYHOUR=16;BYMINUTE=0"
Please note that BYHOUR
is specified in UTC.
Metadata Catalogs
The External API is designed to take full advantage of the powerful metadata facilities of Opencast.
Opencast distinguishes between bibliographic metadata and technical metadata:
- Bibliographic metadata is supposed to describe the associated objects and to be used to present those objects to endusers (e.g. in a video portal).
- Technical metadata is used by Opencast to manage objects (e.g. permissions, processing, scheduling)
For events and series, Opencast manages bibliographic metadata in metadata catalogs. There are two kind of metadata catalogs:
- The default metadata catalogs for events (
dublincore/episode
) and series (dublincore/series
) - An arbitrary number of configurable extended metadata catalogs can be configured for both events and series
While the extended metadata can be fully configured, the default metadata catalogs are supposed to hold a minimum set of defined metadata fields.
As the metadata catalogs are configurable, the External API provides means of gathering the metadata catalog configuration.
This is done by "/api/events/{event_id}/metadata" and "/api/series/{series_id}/metdata". Those requests return self-describing metadata catalogs that do not just contain the values of all metadata fields but also a list of available metadata fields and their configuration.
Note that the Opencast configuration defines which metadata catalogs are available for events and series.
The following sections define data types that are used to manage metadata catalogs.
fields
Each metadata catalogs has a list of metadata fields that is described as array of JSON objects with the following fields:
| Field | Optional | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
id |
no | string |
Technical identifier of the metadata field |
value |
no | string |
Current value of the metadata field |
label |
no | string |
Displayable name of the metadata field (i18n) |
type |
no | string |
Type of the metadata field |
readOnly |
no | boolean |
Whether this metadata field is read-only |
required |
no | boolean |
Whether this metadata field is mandatory |
collection |
yes | string |
Pre-defined list of values as JSON object |
translatable |
yes | boolean |
Whether the field value supports i18n |
Example
[
{
"readOnly": false,
"id": "title",
"label": "EVENTS.EVENTS.DETAILS.METADATA.TITLE",
"type": "text",
"value": "Test Event Title",
"required": true
},
{
"translatable": true,
"readOnly": false,
"id": "language",
"label": "EVENTS.EVENTS.DETAILS.METADATA.LANGUAGE",
"type": "text",
"value": "",
"required": false
},
{
"translatable": true,
"readOnly": false,
"id": "license",
"label": "EVENTS.EVENTS.DETAILS.METADATA.LICENSE",
"type": "text",
"value": "",
"required": false
},
[...]
]
values
To modifiy values of metadata catalogs, a JSON array with JSON objects contained the following fields is used:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
id |
yes | The technical identifier of the metadata field |
value |
yes | The value of the metadata field |
Notes:
- Fields which are not included in
catalog_values
will not be updated - Attempting to write readonly fields will result in error
- Attempting to write empty values to a required field will result in error
[
{
"id": "title",
"value": "Captivating title - edited"
},
{
"id": "creator",
"value": ["John Clark", "Thiago Melo Costa"]
},
{
"id": "description",
"value": "A great description - edited"
}
]
catalog
Besides the metadata configuration, the full metadata catalog configuration includes some additional fields describing the catalog itself:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| label | string |
Displayable name of the metadata catalog |
| flavor | string |
The flavor of the metadata catalog |
| fields | fields |
An array of JSON objects describing the metadata field configurations of the metadata catalogs |
Example
{
"flavor": "dublincore/episode",
"title": "EVENTS.EVENTS.DETAILS.CATALOG.EPISODE",
"fields": [
{
"readOnly": false,
"id": "title",
"label": "EVENTS.EVENTS.DETAILS.METADATA.TITLE",
"type": "text",
"value": "Test 1",
"required": true
},
[...]
]
}
]
catalogs
The metadata configuration including all metadata catalogs of a given objects is returned as JSON array whereas
its elements are of type catalog
.
Example
[
{
"flavor": "dublincore/episode",
"title": "EVENTS.EVENTS.DETAILS.CATALOG.EPISODE",
"fields": [
{
"readOnly": false,
"id": "title",
"label": "EVENTS.EVENTS.DETAILS.METADATA.TITLE",
"type": "text",
"value": "Test 1",
"required": true
},
{
"readOnly": false,
"id": "subjects",
"label": "EVENTS.EVENTS.DETAILS.METADATA.SUBJECT",
"type": "text",
"value": [],
"required": false
},
{
"readOnly": false,
"id": "description",
"label": "EVENTS.EVENTS.DETAILS.METADATA.DESCRIPTION",
"type": "text_long",
"value": "",
"required": false
},
[...]
]
}
]
Access Control Lists
Opencast uses access control lists (ACL) to manage permissions of objects. Each access control list is associated to
exactly one object and consists of a list of access control entries (ACE).
The access control entries are a list of triples <role
, action
, allow
> which read like "Users with role
role
are allowed to perform action action
on the associate object if allow
is true".
Opencast defines the following ACL actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
read |
Read access |
write |
Write access |
Depending on the configuration of Opencast, there can be additional ACL actions.
ace
The access control entries are represented as JSON objects with the following fields:
| ACE field | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
role |
yes | string |
The role this ACE affects |
action |
yes | string |
The actions this ACE affects |
allow |
yes | boolean |
Whether role is allowed to perform the action |
Example
{
"allow": true,
"action": "write",
"role": "ROLE_ADMIN"
}
acl
The access control lists are represented as JSON arrays with element type ace
.
Example
[
{
"allow": true,
"action": "write",
"role": "ROLE_ADMIN"
},
{
"allow": true,
"action": "read",
"role": "ROLE_USER"

Combine the cubed chicken with the soy sauce, rice wine (or dry sherry) and cornflour in a small bowl. Put the mixture in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
For the rice, put the rice into a heavy pan with 600ml/21 fl oz water. The general rule of thumb is that the water should come up above the level of the rice by about 2.5cm/1in, or the top part of the thumb!
Bring the water to the boil and cook until most of the surface liquid has evaporated - this should take about 15 minutes. The surface of the rice should have small indentations like a pitted crater.
At this point, cover the pan with a very tight-fitting lid, turn the heat as low as possible and let the rice cook undisturbed for 15 minutes. There is no need to 'fluff' the rice, let it rest for five minutes before serving it.
To finish the chicken, heat a wok until it is very hot and then add the oil. When the oil is very hot and slightly smoking, add the chicken to the wok, together with the salt, pepper and orange and lemon zest.
Stir-fry the mixture for four minutes, or until the chicken is cooked. Stir in the sesame oil and give the mixture two turns and cook for another three minutes. Finally add the coriander and continue to stir-fry for another minute. Turn onto a platter and serve at once.
For the greens, heat a wok or large frying-pan over high heat until it is hot. Add the oil, and, when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add the garlic and salt. Stir-fry the mixture for 15 seconds. Quickly add the Chinese greens. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the greens have wilted, but are still slightly crisp.
Serve the chicken with the Chinese greens and rice.


In gnomAD, related individuals are excluded. This is because...
We used KING to infer relatedness amongst individuals that passed the hard filters thresholds.
KING was run on all samples (exomes and genomes) together on a set of well behaved sites selected as follows:
We then selected the largest set of samples such that no two individuals are 2nd degree relative or closer. When we had to select between two samples to be kept in, we used the following criteria to select which one to keep:
Genomes had priority over exomes

If you are using raw halide_buffer_t in that context you must use the function pointers in the device_interface struct.
The function pointers below are currently the same for every GPU API; only the impl field varies. These top-level functions do the bookkeeping that is common across all GPU APIs, and then dispatch to more API-specific functions via another set of function pointers hidden inside the impl field.

#include "Common-Safe-Haskell.hs" {-| Through this module, this library provides platform-independent support for control character sequences following the \'ANSI\' standards (see further below) for terminal software that supports those sequences, running on a Unix-like operating system or Windows. The sequences of control characters (also referred to as \'escape\' sequences or codes) provide a rich range of functionality for terminal control, which includes: * Colored text output, with control over both foreground and background colors * Clearing parts of a line or the screen * Hiding or showing the cursor * Moving the cursor around * Reporting the position of the cursor * Scrolling the screen up or down * Changing the title of the terminal The functions moving the cursor to an absolute position are 0-based (the top-left corner is considered to be at row 0 column 0) (see 'setCursorPosition') and so is 'getCursorPosition0'. The \'ANSI\' standards themselves are 1-based (that is, the top-left corner is considered to be at row 1 column 1) and some functions reporting the position of the cursor are too (see 'reportCursorPosition'). The native terminal software on Windows is \'Command Prompt\' or \`PowerShell\`. Before Windows 10 version 1511 (known as the \'November [2015] Update\' or \'Threshold 2\') that software did not support such control sequences. For that software, this library also provides support for such sequences by using emulation. Terminal software other than the native software exists for Windows. One example is the \'mintty\' terminal emulator for \'Cygwin\', \'MSYS\' or \'MSYS2\', and dervied projects, and for \'WSL\' (Windows Subsystem for Linux). The \'ANSI\' standards refer to (1) standard ECMA-48 \`Control Functions for Coded Character Sets\' (5th edition, 1991); (2) extensions in ITU-T Recommendation (previously CCITT Recommendation) T.416 (03/93) \'Information Technology – Open Document Architecture (ODA) and Interchange Format: Character Content Architectures\` (also published as ISO/IEC International Standard 8613-6); and (3) further extensions used by \'XTerm\', a terminal emulator for the X Window System. The escape codes are described in a Wikipedia article at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code> and those codes supported on current versions of Windows at <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences>. The whole of the \'ANSI\' standards are not supported by this library but most (if not all) of the parts that are popular and well-supported by terminal software are supported. Every function exported by this module comes in three variants, namely: * A variant that has an @IO ()@ type and doesn't take a @Handle@ (for example, @clearScreen :: IO ()@). This variant just outputs the \`ANSI\` command directly to the standard output channel ('stdout') and any terminal corresponding to it. Commands issued like this should work as you expect on both Unix-like operating systems and Windows. * An \'<EMAIL_ADDRESS>variant that has an @IO ()@ type but takes a @Handle@ (for example, @hClearScreen :: Handle -> IO ()@). This variant outputs the \`ANSI\` command to the supplied handle and any terminal corresponding to it. Commands issued like this should also work as you expect on both Unix-like operating systems and Windows. * A \'...@Code@\' variant that has a @String@ type (for example, @clearScreenCode :: String@). This variant outputs the sequence of control characters as a 'String', which can be added to any other bit of text before being output. The use of these codes is generally discouraged because they will not work on legacy versions of Windows where the terminal in use is not ANSI-enabled (see further above). On Windows, where emulation has been necessary, these variants will always output the empty string. That is done so that it is possible to use them portably; for example, coloring console output on the understanding that you will see colors only if you are running on a Unix-like operating system or a version of Windows where emulation has not been necessary. If the control characters are always required, see module "System.Console.ANSI.Codes". Example: > module Main where > > import System.Console.ANSI > > -- Set colors and write some text in those colors. > main = do > setSGR [SetColor Foreground Vivid Red] > setSGR [SetColor Background Vivid Blue] > putStrLn "Red-On-Blue" > setSGR [Reset] -- Reset to default colour scheme > putStrLn "Default colors." For many more examples, see the project's extensive <https://github.com/feuerbach/ansi-terminal/blob/master/app/Example.hs Example.hs> file. -} #if defined(WINDOWS) module System.Console.ANSI ( module System.Console.ANSI.Windows ) where import System.Console.ANSI.Windows #elif defined(UNIX) module System.Console.ANSI ( module System.Console.ANSI.Unix ) where import System.Console.ANSI.Unix #else #error Unsupported platform for the ansi-terminal package #endif


DAYLIGHT A film review by Edwin Jahiel Copyright 1996 Edwin Jahiel
DAYLIGHT * Directed by Rob Cohen. Written by Leslie Bohem .Photography, David Eggby. Editing,Peter Amundson. Production design, Benjamin Fernandez. Music,Randy Edelman. Producers, John David, Joseph M. Singer and David T. Friendly .Cast: Sylvester Stallone (Kit Latura), Amy Brenneman (Madelyne Thompson), Viggo Mortensen (Roy Nord), Jay O. Sanders (Steven Crighton), Karen Young (Sarah Crighton), Danielle Harris (Ashley Crighton), Claire Bloom (Eleanor Trilling), Colin Fox (Roger Trilling), Vanessa Bell Calloway (Grace), Stan Shaw (George Tyrell),Sage Stallone (Vincent), et al. 110 min. Rated PG-13
When the Titanic went down the ship's orchestra was playing "Nearer My God to Thee." You'd half expect the survivors in the disastrous disaster flick "Daylight" to intone "Nearer Stallone to Thee." They don't, but many members of the audience may be humming "Nearing the End, Whoopee!" The film reminds me of the fellow who would repeatedly hit his own head with a mallet, "because it feels so good when I stop."
In tired old fashion "Daylight" opens with the Motley Group Introduction.  There's also Claire Bloom (in the nadir role of her life), her old husband and their dog, returning from a visit to a canine psychiatrist (sic); a prison bus transporting convicts; a sportswear entrepreneur who wastes some of our time in an irrelevant executive meeting; various Tunnel and Bridge supervisors, including African-American Vanessa Bell who is also the girlfriend of sweet tunnel cop Stan Shaw. Last but not you-know-what is El Stallone as a limo driver. His name, Kit Latura, spelled backwards is Arutal Tik.
What those disparate (and often desperate) people have in common is that they all find themselves in vehicles going through congested streets.A band of evil-looking thugs has hijacked the car of a diamond merchant (he too, for some reason, looks evil-- perhaps he's a thief?).
The army of cars, buses and trucks reaches a tunnel connecting Manhattan to New Jersey. It is unnamed and not identified as its model, the Holland Tunnel. In this underground/underwater location the stolen car has an unfriendly encounter with trucks of chemicals. A lulu of an explosion triggers a series of horrendous disasters, a mini-Hiroshima Holocaust of flames, toxic air, flooding waters, loose electric cables - you name it, they got it - which result in gruesomely abundant corpses, twisted bodies and metal, both ends of the tunnel getting sealed, and the group of the aforementioned motleys being trapped.
We learn that Kit Latura (whose anagram is Trakit Aul) used to be the Chief of Emergency Medical Services but was disgraced when a wrong decision by him resulted in the death of some of his men. The details come out in bits uttered without the clarity of crystal, but no matter. Right away you get the point: Kit Latura (or Arial Tukt) must save his fellow-humans plus the Jungian dog to redeem himself. Which he does.
It's a horrendous task that involves subterranean alpinism, trips (a la Flash Gordon serials) through enormous, murderous exhaust fans, acrobatics, immunity to pain and wounds, the strength of Samson,time out for wise sayings, rats, heroics by Stallone and some others, plus panicked, often antagonistic men and women who -- you guessed it -- will become brave and understanding. There is also a scene of Stallone and his patootie-to-be trapped in rising waters that are about to reach a ceiling -- straight from the torture chambers of Emperor Ming, other serials, Fu ManChu and black-and-white B-movies. There is outrageously obvious religious symbolism when an exit is found just behind a wooden statue od Christ.
The acting is broad. Stallone's inelegant voice and enunciation have not changed. He seems to be searching all the time for which one of his two facial expressions to choose. The sounds emitted by things and humans are loud, speech is rapid, mumbled, often barely understandable except for the "we're not going to get out of here, are we?" refrain.
All that is bad.With so much junk and overkill, at no time do you believe the goings-on, feel any kinship, or share any pain in this puppetish movie. Nor do you learn anything beyond the superficial about the characters, who all go beyond stereotypes and into caricatures. I was, however, impressed by those indestructible flashlights that never run down and shine so well under water.
The Perils of Sylvester are made even more cartoonish since, if I understand it correctly, the Emergency Medical Service is just what it says it is. Yet Stallone is not only a fast-thinking acrobat-medic but a technical savant who knows all there is about tunnels, their complexity and their disasters.
"Daylight" is a return to the mostly dumb disaster flicks of the 1970s. The director has stated that the first movie set he ever walked on was "The Poseidon Adventure," which impressed him, as did soon after "The Towering Inferno" whose lessons he took to heart when he was trapped on the ninth floor of a Boston hotel in a fire where five people died.
The aim here clearly is to top those earlier pictures. I admit that its special effects do just that, with modern techniques: miniatures, scaled-down sets, computer graphics and other tricks. "Daylight" was shot in the Italian Cinecitta Studios, with means and logistics that are impressive, hence the single star I give it. Otherwise, it rates 5 yawns out of 5.

Qualcomm iPhone Baseband Research
November, 2018
Introduction
The iPhone comes with a built-in baseband chip for cellular network features.
Since this chip is powered by a bootloader and operating system completely seperated from iOS and the baseband being poorly documented it is a great subject for research.
There are two ways to research the baseband: One is by looking at firmware and the other way is to fuzz the baseband through OpeniBoot on a legacy (=old, iPhone3G etc.) device.
This research is meant to cover both ways.
Goal
The goal of this research is to learn more about the way the baseband is operating and communicating within the iPhone, to analyze the security of the baseband chip and to discover and document it's capabilities.
Subjects that will be examined are defined as following:
- How is firmware maintenance done on the baseband?
- How is the baseband firmware structured?
- How can one communicate with the baseband and what is possible through this communication?
- Does the baseband implement privilege seperation and if so, is it solid and secure?
- What are the hardware capabilities of the baseband and is the baseband debuggable?
- What can be done remotely in terms of communication and exploitation of the baseband?
Research
The starting point of the research is a firmware image of the baseband taken from the iPhone 4S for examining the firmware and an iPhone 3G with OpeniBoot for examining the communication.
The vendor of the legacy baseband chips is Qualcomm and there is little documentation already available on TheiPhoneWiki about the baseband of legacy devices.
Changelog
- Extracted and examined the firmware with binwalk.
- Examined the baseband operating system image globally (strings)
- Wrote first entry and documentation on TheiPhoneWiki about the firmware.

NuB is the name of the most commonly-used domestic gas in the Canaries. In Gran Canaria, some propane bottles can be re-filled with propane (see below), however, in the rest of the islands only butane is available so propane & butane bottles will be re-filled with butane.
The following range of bottles can be filled in the Canaries.
Brining a kit of adaptors with you will unfortunately not help; bottles in the Canaries have to be filled directly from the plant’s authorised taps.
Note:
Filling is done in Lanzarote at the Arrecife DISA plant (ask in marinas for the availability of delivery service) from 9am - 3pm weekdays.
In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria filling is done at the DISA Salinetas plant from 9am - 11am weekdays. Maximum 3 bottles per person. Most propane bottles/tanks can be filled here.
Take the highway from Muelle Deportivo towards the airport, about 17 km. Take the Salinetas exit. There is an IKEA Almacen, which is the second IKEA on the way to the airport.  The entrance to the DISA plant is on your left.

Research Interests
Current research in the Meiklejohn lab uses functional, evolutionary, and comparative genetics and genomics to understand the evolution and regulation of sex chromosomes and spermatogenesis, using the fruit fly Drosophila as a model.
Sex chromosomes are subject to distinct evolutionary forces, owing to their sex-linkage, hemizygosity, and the lack of genetic exchange. These unique features influence gene sequence evolution, gene regulation, and endow sex chromosomes with a special role in the formation of new species - sex chromosomes are hotspots for incompatibilities that cause sterility in interspecies hybrids. We use genetic, molecular, developmental, and comparative approaches to address the following questions:
- What is the genetic and molecular basis for X-linked factors that cause sterility in interspecific hybrid males?
- What is the genetic and molecular basis for X-chromosome regulation in the Drosophila male germline?
- What are the evolutionary forces that drive both X-chromosome specific regulatory phenomena and the enrichment of reproductive isolating factors on this chromosome?
X-linked hybrid male sterility factors
Speciation can result from the evolution of reproductive isolation in the form of postzygotic incompatibilities – interactions between alleles from two species that render hybrids inviable or sterile.  At least in part, Haldane’s Rule results from an enrichment of sterility-causing incompatibilities on the X chromosome (the large X-effect). Thus, in XY taxa, both the X chromosome and the rapid evolution of spermatogenesis have been implicated as key components of the earliest postzygotic incompatibilities. However, why the X chromosome has a unique role in speciation, across a wide range of taxa, is unclear.
To identify and characterize hybrid male sterility factors we have generated a genetic map of X-linked hybrid male sterility between Drosophila simulans and D. mauritiana. At least seven distinct regions on the D. mauritiana X chromosome are sufficient forcomplete male sterility in combination with the Y and autosomes from D. simulans. We currently pursuing experiments to fine-map, clone and validate two X-linked HMS factors. We are also studying spermatogenesis in sterile hybrid males to determine the developmental mechanisms whereby these genes disrupt spermatogenesis to cause sterility.
X-chromosome regulation in the Drosophila male germline
We are currently studying regulation of the X chromosome in D. melanogaster testes. Our previous research has revealed that, unlike in male somatic cells, the X chromosome is not dosage compensated in the Drosophila male germline; and unlike mammals and nematodes, Drosophila shows no evidence of meiotic X chromosome inactivation. Despite the absence of meiotic sex chromosome inactivation, our previous work indicates that the D. melanogaster X chromosome is subject to a different form of regulatory suppression during spermatogenesis, and that it is largely compensated by the evolution of X-linked cis-regulatory sequences. We are currently pursuing experiments to further characterize spermatogenic X-suppression in Drosophila, using genetic, transgenic, and transcriptomic approaches to dissect the roles of the Y chromosome and heterochromatin in X-suppression.
Genomic parasites and the integrative biology of spermatogenesis
Across animals, the genetic control of spermatogenesis is characterized by rapid evolutionary turnover and unique genomic architecture and gene regulation. My hypothesis is that these unusual patterns associated with sex chromosomes and gametogenesis derive from a single source - genomic parasites acting in their selfish interests to increase in frequency at the expense of their host organism. Studying the genetic basis of germline and sex-chromosome specific regulation and hybrid male sterility provides a test of whether genes involved in these processes are part of this conflict between parasites and hosts.
Functional and evolutionary genetics and genomics
Additional research in the Meiklejohn lab includes investigations into a role for mitochondrial-nuclear interactions and temperature-dependent male sterility in Drosophila; characterization of genetic and molecular mechanisms of triplo-lethality associated with the Triplo-lethal locus in Drosophila; using Drosophila strains infected with common viruses to establish an empirical system to investigate epidemiological models; and generation of “platinum” high-quality genome assemblies and annotations for the Drosophila simulans species group. In all of these projects, we seek to uncover the evolutionary and genetic mechanisms that underlie important biological phenomenon and shape genome regulation and evolution.


--- layout: post title: "Some online mattress retailers are actually safe" date: 2019-01-02 00:00:00 -0500 categories: story1 content-pattern: html --- I was recently in the market for a new mattress, and, like any normal person, I searched what was available online. As it turns out, (as of September 2018), there are a number of different online retailers peddling their wares. A google search today for "mattress" today revealed the following sponsored links in the following exact order:
The following are the next 5 unsponsored links, which means their rank in the search result is mostly driven by the weight given to them by google page rank algorithms.
However, my original search process for a mattress did not lead me to purchase the mattress with the highest precedence on search. Rather, my decision was more influenced by the numerous ads that began to appear on e-commerce and social media platforms. It was truly these ads that played a larger role in my decision making. User cookies play a larger role than one might originally imagine in world of e-commerce.
After reading several articles and watching many review videos on youtube, I settled on the fairly well-known Leesa mattress. My end conclusion at the time of purchase is that most mattresses are about the same but Leesa does have a mission of caring and giving back to the community. If I were to pay a premium on a mattress, at least some of my cash would go towards helping someone who needed help getting appropriate bedding(or so my reasoning went).
Alas, it turns out the mattress was not really worth the price tag that I paid for it, and my sleep did not improve noticeably. Hence, I made a call to the Leesa customer service after giving the new mattress a fair chance (studies and retailers say to give at least 30-60 days). By answering 2 short questions, and with a hold time of less than 2 minutes, a call time of less than 4 minutes, I was able to schedule a pick up for my mattress within the next 2 weeks. There was no pushback of any sorts by the customer representative, and this was refreshingly appreciated.
I am thoroughly impressed by Leesa's customer service and would recommend anyone in the market for a new mattress to give them a chance if they are swayed by reviews and their own research. They are, so far, a company that can be trusted. I will update this post when the mattress has been picked up and my monies refunded.

The Canadian dollar has dropped below the 70-cent US level for the first time since May 2003.
When stock markets closed on Tuesday, the loonie was changing hands at 70.13 cents US, down by about a fifth of a cent after earlier dipping below the 70-cent threshold for the first time since May 2003.
- 7 things that could go horribly wrong with the economy in 2016
- Big banks predict rocky year for Canada's economy in 2016
- TIMELINE: What the world looked like the last time the loonie was this low
That means one U.S. dollar can purchase almost $1.43 Canadian.
The currency's historic low is 61.79 cents US — set in January 2002 — but it hit an all-time high of 110.3 cents U.S. in November 2007 as Canada's resource-heavy economy benefited from global demand for its exports.
The Canadian dollar was also dragged down by oil, which briefly dipped below $30 US a barrel for the first time since Jean Chrétien was prime minister.
The price of oil has now declined every single trading day of 2016.
Much of the loonie's weakness is in comparison to the U.S. dollar and not necessarily against other currencies.
"The U.S. dollar becomes a refuge, and that's what we've seen in the last few days," said Patrick Leblond, an expert in finance at the University of Ottawa.
Stock indexes, meanwhile, staged a big rally to close out the day, with the Toronto Stock Exchange turning a 120-point loss at one point into a 54-point gain to close at 12,373.
The Dow Jones industrial average and broader S&P 500 were both up by about one per cent each on the day.
Despite the gains later in the day, the trading began amid a sour mood, summed up in a report from the Royal Bank of Scotland, which advised clients to "sell everything" in a report early Tuesday.
"This all looks similar to 2008," the bank's research economist Andrew Roberts said. "We dust off our old mantra: this is about return of capital, not return on capital."

Here you have a description of PaleoSea1D:
This file can be opened by the FEFLOW help viewer. Please describe both the purpose of the plug-in and operation instructions here.
PaleoSea1D is an IFM plugin for FEFLOW that makes it possible to simulate diffusive or advective-dispersive transport of salinity in a forming aquitard and in the underlying aquifer. The actual system is simplified into a 1D-vertical-column numerical model (2 nodes = 1 element in the X dimension; hundreds of elements/nodes in the Y dimension), with contrasting material properties for the aquitard vs. the aquifer. Conceptually simplified time series are used to describe the transient formation of the aquitard in terms of real thickness (sedaccum); the evolution of the sea/lake/surface water salinity (swconc); and, optionally, the evolution of the fluid (Darcy) flux to be imposed at the bottom of the model (ffluxbasebc).
TODO: <Advice on how to use this plug-in is not written yet.>


Dodedodo is a distributed market place that allows you to run applications across a wide range of devices. Suppose, you want to use the camera on your Android phone, connect it to face recognition software on the internet, and have your own door opener based on Arduino to finally open the door for you. This is all possible with off-the-shelf software! But setting it up is really hard.
Dodedodo uses a standard format to describe software modules. These modules can be connected with each other through a graphical user interface. The modules are found through crawling or when people submit their github repository. The modules run on servers online and on your own devices.
We have been working on a range of software and are able to control a wide range of devices (see below for the Romo). However, we would like you to be able to do so as well!
Dodedodo will feature as a market place hub for applications that have modules that can run on your Raspberry PI, your Android smartphone, your Arduino do-it-yourself chip, your robots, as well as on servers on the internet. It is extremely powerful at one hand:
It is extremely restricted at the other hand:
The user will be able to search for cool schemes that exist out of multiple modules. Those modules have to be dragged to devices the user owns. So, this is slightly more involved than installation of a normal app on a smartphone. On all the devices the user registers there will be a small application that allows modules to be launched, stopped, and connected with other modules. This application is called an AIM agent. The user does not have to worry about firewalls, or anything else, just installing the AIM agent on a Raspberry PI, or an Android smartphone is all.
We will be very greatful if you want to be our user. This is definitely free and allows us to build an amazing service. We are not a large company so we can effort to spend an excessive amount of attention towards making you a satisfied user. Please, contact us, if you have a nice idea! Also general ideas for our small and agile :-) dobots team you can just contact us on our contact page or on github where also an email address is listed.

12.1 Storage / 12.2 Property defaults table / 12.3 Object tree / 12.4 Property tables / 12.5 Well-foundedness of the tree
The object table is held in dynamic memory and its byte address is stored in the word at $0a in the header. (Recall that objects have flags attached called attributes, numbered from 0 upward, and variables attached called properties, numbered from 1 upward. An object need not provide every property.)
The table begins with a block known as the property defaults table. This contains 31 words in Versions 1 to 3 and 63 in Versions 4 and later. When the game attempts to read the value of property n for an object which does not provide property n, the n-th entry in this table is the resulting value.
Next is the object tree. Objects are numbered consecutively from 1 upward, with object number 0 being used to mean "nothing" (though there is formally no such object). The table consists of a list of entries, one for each object.
In Versions 1 to 3, there are at most 255 objects, each having a 9-byte entry as follows:
the 32 attribute flags parent sibling child properties ---32 bits in 4 bytes--- ---3 bytes------------------ ---2 bytes--
parent, sibling and child must all hold valid object numbers. The properties pointer is the byte address of the list of properties attached to the object. Attributes 0 to 31 are flags (at any given time, they are either on (1) or off (0)) and are stored topmost bit first: e.g., attribute 0 is stored in bit 7 of the first byte, attribute 31 is stored in bit 0 of the fourth.
In Version 4 and later, there are at most 65535 objects, each having a 14-byte entry as follows:
the 48 attribute flags parent sibling child properties ---48 bits in 6 bytes--- ---3 words, i.e. 6 bytes---- ---2 bytes--
Each object has its own property table. Each of these can be anywhere in dynamic memory (indeed, a game can legally change an object's properties table address in play, provided the new address points to another valid properties table). The header of a property table is as follows:
text-length text of short name of object -----byte---- --some even number of bytes---
where the text-length is the number of 2-byte words making up the text, which is stored in the usual format. (This means that an object's short name is limited to 765 Z-characters.) After the header, the properties are listed in descending numerical order. (This order is essential and is not a matter of convention.)
In Versions 1 to 3, each property is stored as a block
size byte the actual property data ---between 1 and 8 bytes--
where the size byte is arranged as 32 times the number of data bytes minus one, plus the property number. A property list is terminated by a size byte of 0. (It is otherwise illegal for a size byte to be a multiple of 32.)
In Versions 4 and later, a property block instead has the form
size and number the actual property data --1 or 2 bytes--- --between 1 and 64 bytes--
The property number occupies the bottom 6 bits of the first size byte.
If the top bit (bit 7) of the first size byte is set, then there are two size-and-number bytes as follows. In the first byte, bits 0 to 5 contain the property number; bit 6 is undetermined (it is clear in all Infocom or Inform story files); bit 7 is set. In the second byte, bits 0 to 5 contain the property data length, counting in bytes; bit 6 is undetermined (it is set in Infocom story files, but clear in Inform ones); bit 7 is always set.
***[1.0] A value of 0 as property data length (in the second byte) should be interpreted as a length of 64. (Inform can compile such properties.)
If the top bit (bit 7) of the first size byte is clear, then there is only one size-and-number byte. Bits 0 to 5 contain the property number; bit 6 is either clear to indicate a property data length of 1, or set to indicate a length of 2; bit 7 is clear.
It is the game's responsibility to keep the object tree well-founded: the interpreter is not required to check. "Well-founded" means the following:
(a) An object with a sibling also has a parent.
(b) An object is the parent of exactly those objects in the sibling list of its child.
(c) Each object can be given a level n, such that parentless objects have level 0 and all children of a level n object have level n+1.
The largest valid object number is not directly stored anywhere in the Z-machine. Utility programs like Infodump deduce this number by assuming that, initially, the object entries end where the first property table begins.
Infocom's 'Sherlock' contains a bug making it try to set and clear attribute 48.
The reason why the second property size byte needs to have top bit set is that the size field must be parsable either forwards or backwards -- the Z-machine needs to be able to reconstruct the length of a property given only the address of the first byte of its data. (There are very many (e.g. 2000) property entries in a story file, so optimising size into one byte most of the time is worthwhile.)
Bit 6 in the second byte is presently wasted, which is a pity as it could be used to allow up to 128 bytes of property data. But such a change would cause Infocom's story files to fail (since they set this bit, unlike Inform story files).
Inform can only construct well-founded object trees as the initial game state, but it is easy to compile sequences of code like "move red box to blue box" followed by "move blue box to red box" which leave the object tree in an ill-founded state. (The Inform library protects the standard object-movement verbs against this.)

Our last post explained how to optimise your literature searches and how to remain up to date with the most recent publications. Once you’ve found a bunch of texts of your interest, you should also take care to make sure you organise them well so you can find them with little trouble, this will ensure a smoother writing process. Here are some tips:
Well, actually, there is just one tip: have one database. If you're new to this, here's how the database should look like:
Setting up a database:
- Have only one database. It will make your life much easier and means you do not have to keep opening different programs or documents to find the article you have in mind. If you’re writing several papers at the same time, just create categories that make the entries in the database easy to track and filter. You could also add keywords according to the topic, however use them consistently throughout the database avoiding synonyms and alternative spelling (is it well-being, wellbeing or well being?). Also, why not merge your literature database with your colleagues’—perhaps something they found on the subject is also of interest to you and vice versa.
- Use programs to create a database. Next to a simple spreadsheet, there are a number of programs and sites you can use to set up your database (see an introduction of two of such programs). Next to such programs, you could have a look at sites that have similar features, e.g., CiteULike—some of these also have social networking features allowing others comment the sources you have pinned down.
- Interlinking. Link the entry of the database to the piece of literature. Save all your literature in one well-organised folder. Using a consistent storage system may be very helpful—decide where to keep the literature. You can introduce a categories’ system where you indicate the part of the paper (or theory) each source belongs to (general theory, theory A, theory B, methods etc). Then assign this category to all relevant copies in your folder and to matching entries in the database. Some programs allow you to create hyperlinks which would open up the article in just one click.
Using the database
- Make comments for the entries you have in your database. You can mark down the pages that you found particularly important, other papers that the current one is tied to and other bits of information you find helpful. In addition, you can rate articles' according to their relevance to your work to establish a system of which sources should be read first. You can save the comments directly to your paper (together with the reference, of course). If you do, the note should be independent from the context of the article—you don’t want to dig the paper up again to understand your own remarks.
- Process each entry carefully, i.e., know what's in your database. Surely, the only point of having a database is that you know what's what. Sometimes, reading an article once is not enough for you to remember its content, relevance to your work, weak points, and other works it relates to. Therefore, it might useful to leave articles you have read to sit for a day before returning to them. The fresh look at the paper may help you to position this source better in the array of literature you are building up. After you have returned to the paper, summarise its key points, organise, and save them to be found later.
Given you keep up with the above described procedure, you’ll have much less trouble finding the piece of literature when you need one. Simply open the database and type in the keywords. You’ll then see all the other articles it is connected to and also, what kind of comments you made on it. This means you do not have to stop your train of thoughts when when you're all caught up in writing: a simple search will get you to the detail you needed to check up before you could continue typing.


Let's follow the same pattern we did for personal customers. It sure would be nice to reuse that contact pane!
Success! Our business customer flow simply navigates to the contact pane and handles the message it publishes.
Things are starting to look a little messy though, and we're clearly dealing with two separate concerns in our flows - maintaining our business object and navigation.
Next, we'll look at separating those concerns with some elegant results.

A tool to find correlations in crash reports, recently integrated in Socorro (https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/).
Count occurrences of every possible attribute-value pair (e.g. platform=Windows) for each signature
Most SuperSearch (discrete) fields as considered as attributes, some are generated operating on those fields or on fields from the JSON dump.
def get_arch(total_virtual_memory, platform, platform_version):
if total_virtual_memory:
if int(total_virtual_memory) <<PHONE_NUMBER>:
return 'x86'
elif int(total_virtual_memory) ><PHONE_NUMBER>:
return 'amd64'
elif platform == 'Mac OS X':
return 'amd64'
else:
if 'i686' in platform_version:
return 'x86'
elif 'x86_64' in platform_version:
return 'amd64'
Exclude attribute-value pairs that have low percentages (< 15%)
Generate possible two-level candidates (e.g. platform=Windows && gfx_vendor=NVIDIA)
Filter out results:
Many attributes are strongly dependent from others. For example, the presence of a given DLL might be directly linked to a particular Windows version.
The algorithm takes that into account by defining a graph of dependencies. When a dependency is found, the percentage of occurrence is recalculated taking the dependency into account.
(83.90% in signature vs 33.91% overall) Module "bcryptPrimitives.dll"
(100.0% in signature vs 98.44% overall) Module "bcryptPrimitives.dll" if platform_version = 10.0.14393


Groups partner on LPG supply - The Nation Newspaper
Joseph Jibueze
The Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM) and the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) have pledged to work together to enhance supply and usage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in Nigeria.
They made the commitment when NALPGAM president Nosa Ogieva-Okunbor and his executive members visited the NUPENG Secretariat in Lagos.
Ogieva-Okunbor said NALPGAM’s goal was to ensure the usage of LPG, commonly referred to as cooking gas, across the country.
He said: “We want gas supply to be improved so that ordinary Nigerians can buy it at an affordable cost.
“The current hike in the price gas is not good because some persons who have hitherto abandoned the usage of kerosene and firewood are going back because they cannot afford gas.

“We know this harms the health of our women and the climate as well as the Federal Government’s plan to increase gas usage in Nigerian homes.”
He said the visit was to strengthen the associations’ relationship towards making the supply and distribution of LPG safer.
To this end, he said the group would partner with NUPENG on training and retraining of tanker drivers to reduce the frequency of accidents on the highways.
NUPENG National President Mr Williams Akporeha said gas was a product of the future.
He urged stakeholders in the sector to brace up for the challenges to come to deepen its usage.
The NUPENG boss noted that collaboration by stakeholders was key to achieving their purposes as businesses and associations.


16 people found in 'sealed trailer' on ferry due to dock in Rosslare
16 people have been found alive on board a ship on its way to Rosslare Pport in Co Wexford.
They were found in a container on a Stena Line ferry sailing from Cherbourg in France.
At 9.20pm last night the Stena Horizon roll on roll off passenger ship left Cherbourg in France for Rosslare.
En route staff heard banging from truck container in the ships hold. When they opened the doors they found 16 people alive.
A garda case conference is taking place in Wexford where discussions on how to proceed once the ship docks in Rosslare are taking place.
Little is known at this stage about the identity and nationality of the 16 stowaways. It is believed they are all men aged between 20 and 40 years old.
The ship is currently in the Celtic Sea and is due to arrive at around 3.30pm.
In a statement, Ian Hampton, Stena Line’s chief people & communications officer, said the 16 people are reported to be in good health.
“During the Stena Horizon’s 9pm sailing from Cherbourg, France, to Rosslare in the Republic of Ireland on Wednesday November 20, one of our employees during a routine inspection discovered 16 people in a sealed trailer on the vehicle deck.
“All the individuals are reported to be in good health and have been moved to a private passenger lounge on the ship where their wellbeing is the focus of our employees.
“Stena Line has alerted security and immigration officials in Rosslare so as the necessary arrangements can be made for the group on the vessel’s arrival in Rosslare. The vessel is scheduled to arrive at approximately 3.30pm today.”

Dr. Joe Taylor και Dr. Tim Owen, Candesic, UK
This satellite event aimed in exploring the new developments in the field of neuroinformatics and specifically in the field of personalised medicine. Particular emphasis was given to the description of digital applications and to the Altoida implementation case. Altoida measures users' brain activity in a virtual reality environment in order to diagnose if they will present Alzheimer's within six years. This service is one of the first validated solutions that can predict the risk of developing Alzheimer's for people over 50 years of age. The concept of Medical Precision, referring to personalised medical treatment based on the individual characteristics of patients, their classification in subgroups and on factors such as the aggression of the disease or the predicted response to treatment, has emerged as the future direction to better understand, prevent and treat human diseases.
Foundation for Research and Technology (FORTH), in Heraklion, Crete, Greece
